Langley sex assaults believed linked Man wearing swimming goggles assaults woman walking near Douglas Park, two months after 16-year-old attacked at bus stop DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The man who sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman last Tuesday (Aug. 20), around 8 p.m. in Langley City may also be responsible for a June attack, RCMP said Saturday (Aug. 24). The woman was walking near Douglas Park in the 20600 block of 51B Avenue when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground, and sexually assaulted. The man, who was wearing swimming goggles, threatened her with a knife and told her
GIA CERTIFIED
not to scream. He then took her purse and iPod before fleeing on a bicycle. Police called in the fire department to light up the crime scene. Based on the victim’s description, police believe the same man may be responsible for attacking a 16-year-old girl on June 22. In that incident, the victim was waiting for a bus at the intersection of 42 Avenue and 204 Street when the suspect pulled up in a vehicle beside her and ordered her to get in. He threatened her with a knife, drove her to a church parking lot in the 21200 block of 56 Avenue
and sexually assaulted her. He then drove her to the Langley bus loop at Logan and Glover and released her without further incident. He was driving a small, newer model, silver hatchback. Langley RCMP is asking the public to study the two composite sketches created and if you are able to identify the suspect or provide information that would assist with either of these investigations please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) or online at www. solvecrime.ca.

Investigators re-create fatal Langley crash Police closed Langley Bypass Thursday morning to duplicate conditions DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The investigation of a fatal crash involving an RCMP consultant returned to the scene of the accident early Thursday morning (Aug. 22). Police closed down Highway 10 between 192 Street and Fraser Highway between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. to re-create the conditions that existed on Aug. 7 when a a semi truck struck and killed a 37-yearold pedestrian. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said such re-creations are not routine, but are used “depending on the circumstances” of a crash. The alleged driver of the truck is an RCMP hired consultant who was working on a fatal crash involving a semi that killed Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver in November 2012. Police said it appears the consultant Cpl. Bert didn’t stop to render Paquet assistance but kept driving. At the time, RCMP described the unnamed consultant as an expert civilian witness who has worked with law enforcement and other public safety agencies throughout the region. The consultant had been working that day on a re-creation of an accident involving the semi that killed Oliver at the intersection of 64 Avenue and 148 Street. The officer was speeding through the intersection in an unmarked police car without using sirens. The semi the consultant was allegedly driving at 3 a.m. on the Langley Bypass was being used to re-create the Oliver crash. The dark blue semi bobtail was travelling eastbound in the curb lane in the 19500 block of Langley Bypass when it hit the pedestrian. Both the vehicle and driver were located later that day. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Surrey RCMP Traffic Services at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, phone Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Aldergrove Trolley Company driver Graham Norris delivered the local transit system’s first passengers three months ago. Service was suspended on Monday, Aug. 26, due to low ridership.
Aldergrove trolley service suspended indefinitely Lack of ridership blamed; spokesperson for the trolley company’s board of directors hopes for revival KURT LANGMANN Black Press
Three months after it started running, the Aldergrove Trolley Company has shut down. Service was suspended on Monday, Aug. 26. “We’re not giving up, we will revive it once we have a stronger plan and improved finances in place,” said Lynne Vanlaarhoven, spokesperson for the trolley company’s board of directors. The trolley service had been operating for the past three months, offering both a south route and a north route from downtown Aldergrove. Vanlaarhoven said the south route, to Zero Avenue and back to Aldergrove, never really caught on. There were five trips daily, Monday
to Friday, and the grand total of riders rarely exceeded 20 per day. On the other hand, the north route to Gloucester Industrial Estates and back to Aldergrove, had seen steady and consistent growth in ridership. There were eight trips daily, four in the early morning and four in the evening, to accommodate shift workers at Gloucester. “There were definitely way more people using the north route, and many people were getting jobs there because of the trolley service,” said Vanlaarhoven. “In the last couple of weeks we were getting 100 riders a day on the north route, while the south route was very low ridership, no way close to paying for that service. “It’s the saddest thing to have to suspend the service but the board will be seeking income from grants and the
community to bring it back as soon as possible. “However, we will probably be reducing our scope to just the north service to Gloucester,” said Vanlaarhoven. While the seven directors on the trolley company’s board are all volunteers, the two trolley drivers are paid staff. There are also the costs of leasing and fueling the trolley, provided by Vancouver Trolley. Vanlaarhoven noted that “Vancouver Trolley has been outstanding in its support of the Aldergrove Trolley effort.” Aldergrove Trolley Company had also hoped for more charter bookings on the weekends, for such events as weddings and farm tours, but there has not been much interest. “We need more commitment of financial support from the community — we knew that ridership alone would not pay for the service, to start out with, at least — but we also need more ridership,” said Vanlaarhoven.

A 28-year-old woman has been charged in relation to a robbery and an attempted robbery that took place Aug. 17 in Aldergrove and Abbotsford. Briana Hanele Gray remains in custody on various charges. Langley RCMP were called to the Booster Juice in Aldergrove at about 10 a.m. on Aug. 17. Police say a woman entered the store and went into the washroom until all customers had left the building. When she emerged, she produced what appeared to be a
handgun and pointed it at the clerk. She demanded cash from the till, the clerk complied and the suspect fled the store. The clerk provided a detailed description of the woman to police. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said the woman escaped in a cab, but then attempted to rob the driver. The driver pulled over and called police, who surrounded the vehicle in the area of Mt. Lehman Road and Cardinal Avenue in Abbotsford. Based on the physical and clothing description, the
woman was linked to the Aldergrove robbery and was arrested at the scene. The handgun was found to be an airsoft pistol. Gray has been charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and use of an imitation firearm in relation to the Aldergrove incident. She has been charged with possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, uttering threats and theft of $5,000 or under in Abbotsford. She next appears in Abbotsford provincial court on Aug. 28 and Surrey provincial court on Aug. 29.

Suspect in Langley senior fraud arrested The so-called Nephew Bandit is busted by Vancouver police DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Four months after a Langley senior was scammed out of $1,800 by a con man who posed as a relative, police have arrested a suspect. The man dubbed the “Nephew Bandit,� 57-year-old Richard Earl Rupert, was arrested on Wednesday, Aug. 21 by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) on 18 warrants issued by police forces in three provinces. The VPD said Rupert entered a local hospital in June under the name of Jerry Whitehead. When a hospital staff member recognized Rupert from a wanted poster, they called police. Rupert earned his nickname for allegedly convincing his elderly victims that he was a distant relative that needed a loan. In April, 92-year-old Langley resident Louise Naef told an RCMP press conference how a man tricked her out of $1,800 by convincing her he was the son of a friend from Calgary. She said the man approached her as she was leaving a grocery store. The man told her he had a greeting for her from a friend outside B.C. “Guess who it is?� he said. She could only think of one person, who lived in Calgary. “Yes, in Calgary,� the man said when she asked. Then she told him the name of her friend and the man said that was the person. In fact, he was her friend’s son, he said, and he needed a little help.

Langley resident Louise Naef, 92, lost $1,800 to a con man who convinced her he was the son of a friend. On Thursday, Aug. 22, Vancouver police announced a suspect has been arrested. “He told me had problems on the Coquihalla and the car needed repairs,� Naef recalled. The man said he needed $1,800, and said his mother would repay her. His mom would be in Langley the next day and would have the money, he said. “He was very friendly to me,� Naef recalled. “Very kind.� So Naef went to her bank branch and withdrew the cash. When her friend from Calgary failed to show up the next day, she realized she’d been had. The grandmother had enough financial resources that the loss of $1,800 won’t ruin her, she said. She spoke out to warn other seniors to beware of friendly strangers claiming to be relatives. Langley RCMP issued a warrant for

Rupert’s arrest. In addition to the Langley case, Rupert also faces charges in connection with multiple instances of fraud in White Rock, Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, Durham, Niagara, London, Waterloo, Ottawa and Toronto. The alleged offences include theft, robbery, break and enter, fraud, impersonation, being unlawfully in a dwelling house and attempted fraud. He is currently in police custody awaiting his next court appearance. Law enforcement agencies were searching for Rupert for more than five years. He’d been featured on America’s Most Wanted and CTV’s W5 – Investigative Reports. “Last night’s arrest brings relief to both his victims and police agencies across Canada as an elusive predator has now been put behind bars,� VPD Sgt. Randy Fincham said Thursday.

Deadly vipers discovered in South Langley house Citing a hazard to the public, conservation officers euthanize poisonous snakes DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The poisonous Neuwied’s lancehead viper (pictured at right) is responsible for more deaths by than any other type of snake in North America. Left untreated, the viper’s bite will kill one in 14 victims. Just as dangerous is the bite of the Mexican cantil pit viper, which can cause death in a matter of hours. One of each was discovered in a Langley Township house near 248 Street and 24 Avenue on Monday, Aug. 19. B.C. Conservation Officer
Service Inspector Chris Doyle said the vipers were euthanized at the scene. “There was imminent risk to the safety of the officers and the public,” Doyle said. The snakes are banned in B.C. as prohibited species under the Wildlife Act. Doyle said the investigation into incident is continuing. The Langley discovery comes just days after conservation officers were called to a small one-storey home on Van Velzen Avenue in Mission after a renter was evicted and dozens of
snakes were found in the residence. Officers discovered 46 reticulated pythons, which are prohibited under the Controlled Alien Species Regulation of the Wildlife Act, as well as about 50 other snakes, including boas and gopher and king snakes. At the time, Doyle said the pythons — the longest of which was 14 feet — had to euthanized by a veterinarian because there was nowhere for them to go and they posed “a public safety risk.” Earlier this month, in New Brunswick, two young boys sleeping at a friend’s house were killed by an African rock python. — with files from Black Press

L
angley is being split into two for federal election purposes, and it would be very hard to find one Langley resident who thinks that will lead to better representation of this community’s concerns in Ottawa. But that doesn’t matter to the Electoral Boundaries Commission of B.C., whose only mandate is to ensure “fairness,” which in the minds of the commission members means that each federal riding have about 100,000 people in it, based on the 2011 census. For that reason, B.C. will have 42 MPs after the next election in 2015. Will that lead to better representation? Not likely. Adding another 30 MPs to the 308 who already sit in the House of Commons is mainly a matter of sending more tame seals to Ottawa, where they will do as their party leaders demand. When they stray, ever so slightly, from the script, as Langley MP Mark Warawa did with a private member’s bill, they are disciplined. This is usually done in subtle ways, but sometimes quite dramatically. Alberta MP Brent Rathgeber decided to leave the Conservative caucus to sit as an independent after his private member’s bill was all but destroyed by the prime minister’s office. Ottawa would be better with fewer MPs, not more. Warawa has done a good job in representing this constituency, and could easily represent 125,000 or 150,000 people in Ottawa. It would save taxpayers’ dollars, and each MP would be that much more powerful, as there would be fewer voices to compete with. However, the federal government is reluctant to open up the constitution and undo current laws about representation. In 1985, it passed a law that ensured that no province could lose MPs, even if the population shrinks. Thus Prince Edward Island, with about the same population as the Langleys, has four MPs in perpetuity. This same unwillingness to deal with the constitution keeps Canadians paying for the Senate, which has been proven in recent months to be a repository for people who want someone else to pay their bills. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has appointed more than 50 Senators, and asked most of them to limit their stay to eight years, in the name of reform. Let’s see what happens when they reach their eight-year mark. It’s highly unlikely that any of them will voluntarily resign from the unending gravy train. Our federal political system has some serious representation and accountability problems, and no one is doing anything about them.

businessman has stepped forward and said he wants to open what amounts to a marijuana production and packaging centre in the former Stephen’s Sheet Metal building on Bute Street and Fourth Avenue in Port Alberni. At first glance, and because of the stigma surrounding pot, the answer to his request might be an indignant “no way!” Now, step back a moment and take a look at the business case. The City of Port Alberni didn’t change the law allowing for commercial marijuana cultivation for medical purposes, the federal government did. The transitional phase began in June; after April 1, 2014, Health Canada will be out of the medical pot business and so will any individual growers. People accessing medical marijuana will have to do so from a federally regulated commercial provider. There is a licensing and security process for interested producers. They have to pass a security check, local law enforcement and fire authorities must be made aware of their business and the building has to adhere to strict codes to be accepted. Dion Hopkins could be regarded as an entrepreneur jumping in at the beginning of this transition. This proposal isn’t an illicit, hydrostealing house-destroying grow op; legal producers won’t be selling pot to anyone who walks through the front door. Moreover, the Stephen’s Sheet Metal building has been standing empty since the machine shop closed in January 2009, so there is the economic benefit of having a new business open up in that space. Business doesn’t always have to be comfortable in order to be successful. — Alberni Valley News The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Bard in the Valley keeps City council getting better each season could use more Editor: These annual productions get better and better – if that is possible. If you haven’t seen it yet, then I can assure you The Comedy of Errors is a treat. And it’s free. I saw the matinee last Sunday at the open air theatre, downtown Langley. There was no gabbling of lines — often a fault in amateur productions. The characters seemed to understand what they were saying. By that I mean that too often, because Shakespeare’s language has a different cadence to today’s speech, the character’s delivery sounds false and awkward. These actors spoke their lines with such confidence and deep understanding that even a newcomer to Shakespeare’s rhythm would be able keep up with the play by skimming along with the flow. Who cares if some of the humor was lost to today’s audience? The action and the gestures of the actors smoothly drove the performance forward. The characters’ delivery was exemplary for the most part. Even the set movers had spunk and gave a lighthearted touch to what can easily be a dull scene change. I suggest, the servants were the mainstay of the production. Playing a clown is the hardest part. Both these young men developed their roles so that not only did they match each other’s behaviour as identical twins but also curtailed the “slapstick” element sufficiently
free thinkers
The cast of Bard in the Valley’s production, The Comedy of Errors, are being praised for their comprehension and command of Shakespearian English. to bring into balance the pathos of a maligned servant of those days. The two main character brothers were masterly — authoritarian and certainly appropriately undemocratic in their use of their servants. The father pleading his cause to the duchess poignantly provoked a parent’s dilemma given the political times in which the scene was set. Nevertheless, it was a pity that the duchess was insufficiently forthright to indicate the wisdom of her judicial clemency. Similarly the abbess, being as she was head
of a religious order, was a little too gentle in her delivery to indicate her feminine strength in the dire circumstances in which she had found herself many years before. The other female actors, be they bit parts or main characters, carried their roles with a depth of confidence confidence that was outstanding. Accolades to them all. These productions get better every year. Many thanks to everyone involved in this stellar production. Ruth E. Stewart Langley
Editor: Thank you, Councillor Dave Hall I am a young Langley resident who is new to local politics and, quite frankly, I am appalled and ashamed of Langley City council. As film students at Brookswood Secondary, we were given the opportunity to film the council meetings that are broadcasted to the public. I was shocked at the complete lack of public attendance. as well as the lack of debate that happened meeting after meeting. All in favour? Passed. That was the dialogue of every meeting I had attended. Once I turned 18 and entered the civic responsibility of voting in our elections, I was quite excited to learn who is representing me in Langley City. To read in The Times and see that Dave Hall was the only representative to fight for my right to vote for a new mayor saddened me, and shattered my idealistic view of our democratic system. To read that Ted Schaffer (who I did not get a chance to vote for) has taken the power of Langley city, with the blessing of council, and also gets an automatic pay raise angers me. My right to vote and our democracy in Langley has been sold to Schaffer for a measly $3,100. As a young voter who is one of the few in my age group keeping track of politics, seeing how easily my right to vote has been thrown away is discouraging. There is not a single representative on council who has the perspective of my age group, and this is why my generation doesn’t vote. We believe that your vote doesn’t really count and our voices are not heard. It’s too hard and not accessible enough for my age group to become a part of politics. Hall seems to be the only council member who is asking questions and trying to hold council responsible for the rights of its citizens. He is also the only member who is attempting to encourage public participation in the meetings. This is what Langley and the world needs, courageous free thinkers like Hall — not lemmings. Michelle Tep, Langley City
Development guidelines should apply to all Editor: It was with some interest and a chuckle that I read the news article in the Aug. 15 edition of The Times. In the second to last paragraph, Eric Woodward is quoted as saying, “The petition seems designed to delay the commencement of construction of the Coulter Berry Building to prevent additional competition The
in Fort Langley for Wendel’s.” Really? Do all the supporters of the Fort Langley Residents for Sustainable Development and all the supporters of the Hands On Heritage group and all the persons who spoke against the granting of a permit at council’s hearing and all the persons who signed the petition
have an interest in preventing competition for Wendel’s business? I doubt it. The issue is not antidevelopment or antiWoodward. The issue is that development should be within the guidelines. Taxpayers of Langley — the issue here is simply that
Township council has one set of guidelines for most of us, but will allow a new set for a friend. Amazing that all the other projects currently being developed in Fort Langley are able to comply with the guidelines. It’s amazing that the mayor and council will ignore the
advice of their own Heritage Advisory Committee on Coulter Berry, as well as the advice of their Agricultural Advisory Committee on Tuscan Farms. I can hardly wait to see who will be ignored next. Oh — maybe the Aldergrove pool disaster? Grace Muller, Langley

“We are able to pay a higher price per gram than other gold buying establishments pay,” said Tricia. “The hostess also has the potential of earning $200 to $600 per party.” While attending parties, Tricia often hears guests say I don't have much to sell, and is surprised to discover their small pile is worth $400 to $900. “That is why our slogan is What’s Your Pile Worth,” she said matter-of-factly. “With the price of gold where it is today, it really doesn’t take much to add up.” As soon as the first attendee gets paid the gold rush atmosphere heats up, she said. “Everyone gets anxious to find out how much they have!” Whether it is from a past relationship, jewelry passed down from a family member or a piece found on the sidewalk, Tricia has heard plenty of great stories over

Meanwhile ... on Granville Island Langley writer-director Jessica Nelson’s play will be performed at Fringe — to one audience member at a time BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
T
hree actors, two characters and an audience of one. It was an idea that had been buzzing through Jessica Nelson’s mind since she was a student at UBC and learned that such an avantgarde approach to live theatre was even possible. And now the countdown is on, as the 25-year-old D.W. Poppy grad prepares to turn the concept into reality with her one act play, titled Meanwhile, at the upcoming Vancouver Fringe Festival, Sept. 6 to 15. A small bit of parkland, located at the southern edge of Granville Island, behind the False Creek Community Centre, is the setting for Nelson’s original production, which features just two characters and changes course depending on what its audience member decides. Because tickets are necessarily limited, the 20-minute long show will be performed 70 times over the course of the 10-day festival. During that run, actors Dan Willows, and Gerald Williams will share the role of the Gardener, while Kayleigh Sandomirsky plays Blade, a spirit-like guardian of nature. And in Nelson’s production,
presented through her onewoman company, Excavation Theatre, nature can use all the help it can get. Set 50 years in the future, Meanwhile takes place in a version of Vancouver which — through the development of pipelines and other factors — has lost all the forested land along its waterfront — with the exception, that is, of the small patch of forest where the play is being staged. “This preserve is it. There’s no more Stanley Park — it’s gone,” said Nelson. The plot, meanwhile, is somewhat less well defined. “It’s interactive, fluid — kind of like a ‘choose your own adventure’ — explained the playwright. Nelson now lives in Vancouver and works “three or three and a half jobs” to be able to pay her rent and pursue a career in theatre. But she grew up on a rural property in south Langley before moving to Murrayville at 13. She happily recalls spending a lot time playing on her own in the forested 40-acre property shared by her immediate family and her maternal grandparents. Her mother, who also grew up on the property which formerly housed Clay’s Nurseries, would reminisce about cold winter days spent
Tickets to Jessica Nelson’s 20-minute play, Meanwhile, will go on sale each evening at 6:45 p.m., shows will be performed to a single audience member every half hour.
skating on a creek which runs through the acreage and swimming in it during the summer, said Nelson. Of course now, the water never gets cold enough to
freeze solid. Nor is it clean enough to swim in. That sense of loss, she said, is reflected in the play’s environmental themes. “The story was created out
of a desire to honour and celebrate my life once living much closer to nature and my grandparents,” she said. Not counting the other costs of mounting the production, Nelson paid $800 to enter in Fringe Festival, and even if every performance sells out, so to speak, she has calculated that she can only bring in $756. Knowing she has no hope of even recovering her costs, Nelson was nonetheless anxious to be a part of the annual theatre festival, which encourages participants to attempt the out-of-the-ordinary. Although she’d been involved in other people’s Fringe projects in years past, Nelson “wanted to be the driving force behind it all,” she said. Bringing busy city dwellers to a peaceful green corner of the city and to think — even if it’s just for 20 minutes — about what it means to have them, was another of her goals. “Even though Vancouver is a beautiful city, surrounded by beautiful nature, we don’t always get to enjoy it,” Nelson said. Tickets will be sold at the venue each evening, beginning at 6:45 p.m. for the night’s seven performances, which begin at 7:30 p.m. and run on the half hour until 10:30 p.m. Weekday performances are $10; weekends, $12. Cash only.
Big-budget birthday bashes taking their toll I
can still recall the exact moment I realized I had become one of them. Exhausted from a late night of decorating, prepping finger food and crafting hand-made bows for the goody bags — all the while consoling a teething toddler on my hip — I was ready to cry into my cocktail. However, I figured that wouldn’t exactly be polite. After all, the tray of welcome spirits — each adorned with a fresh fruit slice and tropical umbrella were intended for our adult party guests, not my salty tears. Those sporting diapers and holding sippy cups, like our little birthday girl, Molly, would enjoy a sugar-free, organic punch and frolic on the enormous inflatable bouncy castle that had enveloped most of the backyard. It was bad enough we had blown our Kraft Dinner budget on a champagne fête that our daughter wouldn’t remember. And for what? It’s not like she’ll ever look back in pictures and be upset because her decor scheme didn’t match the fondant icing on her homemade three-tiered princess cake with raspberry purée filling. Would she really care that the cups ordered online weren’t an exact match to the dollar-store plates daddy brought home on a whim? Instead of having a meltdown before the first guest arrived, I took a wee swig,
a deep breath and swore I’d never go to such extreme lengths to throw my baby the ‘perfect’ party ever again. And then she turned four. I found myself, once more, in the same frenzy this summer as I tried to create a royal extravaganza for my pintsize princess. This time around, I stayed within our budget —Dollar Store all the way, baby, and no special elixirs for the parents. I thought I did a pretty darn good job with the soiree, but that sense of satisfaction was fleeting. A month later we attended another princess party that was hosted by an actual ‘real’ live princess. Both the children and the adults were in complete awe of this enchantress, who sang as sweet as the dickey birds, pranced gaily around the room and dazzled guests with pixie dust pulled from her little bag of tricks. As we left the party, Molly seemed a little distraught. “Why didn’t I get a princess at my princess party,” she asked, as tears began to stream down her pixie-dust speckled cheeks. Other than fill her in on our modest financial situation, which, between you and me is no fairy tale, I really wasn’t sure what to say. Instead, I muttered ‘maybe next year,” all the while hoping
she’d forget about it. As I drove Pink home, Laundry thinkingI began about KRISTYL CLARK children’s birthday parties and how they’ve become so elaborate in the past decade. Once upon a time — not all that long ago — a trip to the roller rink, swimming pool or a small get-together at home were typical party scenes. Boy, have things changed. Even the calmest, most level-headed parent can find themselves quickly turning into an ego-maniac when they get into partyplanning mode — myself included. Nowadays, there are princesses, pirates and superheroes who make house calls at a whopping $200 a pop, private backyard pony rides, even trips to the spa so your youngster and her friends can indulge in a mani/pedi session. With extravagant themes and venues, take-home loot that rivals Hollywood swag bags and expensive gifts, there’s no denying that the birthday business is booming. And for those who need a little ‘pinspiration’ to help make their child’s party more memorable than the Joneses’, one can wade through endless decorating ideas, recipes and tips on Pinterest.
Warning: you may feel an alarming sense of inadequacy when you realize you’ll probably never live up to the pictureperfect standards on this virtual vision board. The anxiety-inducing photos of perfect cupcakes and DIY crafts will haunt and taunt you. While I’m certainly not knocking any moms or dads who do step up to the party planning plate and take a swing at throwing an epic birthday, this mom is going to continue to fight tooth and nail to stay out of the game. Sure, it’s much easier said than done, but with two pint-size princesses in our party of four, there’s no chance of a happily ever after if we continue to blow our budget year-after-year on parties. And speaking of story book endings, I shudder to think how elaborate weddings will have become when and if our girls take a walk down the aisle. If that’s the case, I’d better look into becoming a party princess on the side and start saving. I think I could pull off Snow White; after all, I’ve got the pale complexion and already spend my days with little people nipping at my heels.

‘Remembering Betty’ with art fundraiser for hospice It will be a weekend to remember. The West Fine Art Show an annual event held on the South Surrey ranch of Senator Gerry St. Germain and organized by Langley artist Murray Phillips, returns the weekend of Sept. 6-8. “This year’s West Fine Art Show is especially personal,� said Phillips, West Fine Art Show founder. “This year’s show, named Remembering Betty, is in honour of my wife, who lost her battle with cancer in June this year.� Phillips’ wife was a huge part of the show’s success, and the community of artists participating feel the theme is a fitting memorial as they come together for a fourth season, he noted. The three-day event is held annually on the grounds of Sen. St. Germain’s
Indian Springs Land and Cattle Company Ranch — a setting almost as remarkable as the art on display. Starting on Friday, Sept. 6, the gathering presents an opportunity for the public to view a wide range of fine art and interact with the artists. Visitors will be encouraged to take their time viewing the pieces on display, and to speak to the artists who will be available throughout the show. There will be entertainment all weekend, including Fort Langley guitarist, John Gilliat and local musical trio, Exit 58. Celebrity guests, Red Robinson and Shell Busey will be on site during the show, and as in the past, Busey will host his annual pancake breakfast on Saturday, Sept. 7, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.
Each year, the West Fine Art Show selects a charitable organization to support; this year’s show will see partial proceeds donated to the Langley Hospice Society in memory of Phillips’s wife, who wanted to ensure that others could access the kind of care and support she and her family had throughout their experience with the Langley Hospice Society. “We are truly honoured to part of such a remarkable event,� said Shannon Todd Booth, communications and funds development coordinator, Langley Hospice Society. The show will take place at 19339 8 Ave. in South Surrey. For more information, and a list of the participating artists, visit their website at WestArt.ca.
Langley artist Murray Phillips is once again organizing an art show-fundraiser at the South Surrey ranch of Senator Gerry St. Germain.This year’s proceeds will go to Langley Hospice Society in memory of Phillips’ wife who passed away earlier this year.

Shooting the sublime at the top of the world BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
It was a journey years in the making for photographer Fiona Howarth — a bit of a working holiday, actually. And now, the Abbotsford woman has plenty to show for the three weeks she spent traveling in some of the most raw and spectacular natural settings the planet has to offer. Sublimity: Iceland and Greenland, a collection of nature photographs, taken late last spring by Howarth, will hang in the Fort Gallery until Sunday, Sept. 8. The show features 27 photos — all 16� by 20� in size — including breathtaking shots of thunderous, frothing waterfalls, towering rock formations and haunting images of floating sea ice, perfectly reflected in the ocean’s glassy surface. Howarth had seen photos of the remote northern region years earlier and it had been a long-term goal to witness it for herself. “I decided this was the year. So I booked it, and I went by myself,� said the 30-year-old, who works as a nurse. Traveling by plane — both large and small — helicopter

Vaughan shifts focus to helping others After years of chasing his dreams, Jarid Vaughan will now aid others in the pursuit of their own goals GARY AHUJA Times Sports
From Langley to Texas and back to Langley once again. That is the path taken by Jarid Vaughan. Vaughan has made the difficult decision to step away from competitive track and field — he has won the B.C. senior men’s provincial title in both the 100m and 200m events every year from 2007 to 2013. “It was definitely hard to walk away,” admitted the 28-year-old. “It is basically all I have ever known, to compete and then train.” For the past few years, Vaughan had been training towards representing Canada at the Olympics. In 2008 Vaughan finished fifth in the 200m. A top-three finish would have qualified him for the Beijing Games. And then in 2012, prior to the trials, a pulled hamstring severely hampered his training, and he again failed to qualify. He will now instead shift his focus to training other athletes with the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club as well as part of his new business, Vaughan’s Fitness and Conditioning. The business offers both personal training as well as group training sessions for athletes of all walks of life, whether they are casual gym goers, recreational or elite. “It was a really, really hard decision,” Vaughan said. “But I think by keeping myself busy and also still giving back by coaching, it will feed that competitive thirst. “And I will still be around track and field.” Since joining the sport at the age of 10, and being a member of the
Gary AHUJA/Langley Times
After years of competing, Jarid Vaughan is stepping away from competitive track and will instead focus on his new business as a personal trainer with Vaughan’s Fitness & Conditioning. He runs the business out of The Gym at High Point. Mustangs throughout his teenage years, Vaughan earned himself a scholarship to the University of Texas Arlington, an NCAA Division 1 program. He joined the Mavericks track and field program after graduating from R.E. Mountain Secondary in 2003. Following his graduation from school, Vaughan spent a couple of years working with the Mavericks as the speed and power coach for the sprinters. He graduated from the university in 2010 with a degree in exercise science. “I have always been interested in exercise and fitness and the better knowledge of my body helped me do better in my sport as well.”
“And I have always liked to help people,” he added. “I believe in a healthy and active lifestyle and it all just came together where I was using my experience through sport and my education to help others and make a living out of it.” Over the past few years while he was training for his own track and field career, Vaughan had been working on the side as a personal trainer. And earlier this month, he officially opened up his new business, which he runs out of The Gym at High Point. He also designed his own website, www.vaughansfitness.com. Vaughan offers personal training to the casual person who just wants
to get into shape all the way to high performance athletes. In addition to running his company out of the south Langley facility, Vaughan also manages the exclusive private gym. And PacificSport Fraser Valley has partnered with Vaughan’s Fitness & Conditioning as part of their GymWorks program. The program gives registered PacificSport athletes free access to local fitness facilities in their home communities without having to make a long-term commitment of purchasing a gym membership to one facility. There are eight gyms in Langley which provide access to PacificSport athletes.

Soccer tournament sidelined once again GARY AHUJA Times Sports
For a second straight year, the Langley Labour Day Michael J. Smith Soccer Tournament has been given a red card. Last August, the tournament was cancelled, with organizers citing low

The offer applies to 2-year Gold Plans (as stated in the fine print.) Also, on page 13, the Sony 47” / 55” W802 Series Smart 3D Slim LED TVs (WebCode: 10245469 / 10245470 ) were advertised with incorrect specs. Please be advised that these TVs have a refresh rate of 120Hz NOT 240Hz, as previously advertised. As well, on page 20, the Bose QuietComfort® 15 Headphones were advertised with an incorrect price. Please be advised that the headphones should be $296.99 save $33, NOT $269.99. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.
Sr. Blaze fall short in national final The Langley Blaze survived a lack of offence in the semifinals, but were not as fortunate in the championship final. Playing against the host team, the Windsor Stars on Sunday at the Canadian senior men’s national baseball championships, the Blaze were on the wrong end of a 3-1 score. Langley managed just one hit on three runs, and it came off the bat of clean-up hitter Sean Hotzak, as his third-inning single scored Tyler Willson.
But by that point, Windsor was already up 3-0. Jesse Peters was tagged with the loss, allowing three earned runs over seven innings. He struck out 10 and walked just one. Langley needed extra innings in the semifinals even to make the championship game. Playing against Manitoba on Sunday morning, the game went nine innings and finally ended when Peters singled home Scott Webster for the game’s only run in a 1-0 victory.

On the mound, Shane Kraemer (six innings) and Jordan Broatch (three innings) combined to strike out 10 and pitch the shutout. In Langley’s other games, they defeated New Brunswick 5-4, edged Manitoba 2-1, hammered Alberta 10-3 and then beat Windsor 10-0. The team has qualified for the 2014 Canadian championships in Newfoundland by virtue of their victory earlier this month at the B.C. senior men’s provincial championships.

championship series. The Thunder find themselves down 3-2 in the best-of-seven senior A lacrosse finals after losing 11-8 on Sunday (Aug. 25) at the Langley Events Centre. Victoria had evened the series at two games apiece with a 4-3 overtime win on Aug. 23 at Bear Mountain Arena. “Kudos to Victoria, they played a good road game,” said Thunder coach Rod Jensen. “They came in and got off to a good start. “They came in very focused and we didn’t match their energy early.” “I am disappointed we didn’t rise to the occasion,” he added. The Shamrocks led 3-2 after one period and then briefly took the lead in the second, 6-5. But Victoria closed the period on a 3-0 run and never looked back. “We couldn’t sustain

Mitch McMichael (#66) and his Langley Thunder teammates find themselves on the brink of elimination after an 11-8 loss to the Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. it,” Jensen said about their failure to hold the lead. Langley did claw back to within a goal at 9-8 when Adam Jones and Athan Iannucci scored 19 seconds apart with less than five minutes to play. But a minute later, Victoria pushed the lead back to two
goals and then scored once more in the final minute. Dane Dobbie scored twice for Langley while Garrett Billings had a goal and five assists. Jones and Iannucci each added two assists for the three-point games. Brett Mydske, Mark Matthews and Steven
Neufeld had the other Langley goals. Brodie MacDonald made 49 saves as Langley was outshot 60-43. The Thunder will try to stave off elimination on Thursday in Victoria. If necessary, game seven would be on Sunday back at the LEC.

GRUNDHOLM, Ebba Marie (nee Knudsen) Feb 9, 1919 - Aug 11, 2013 Ebba passed after a very brief stay at Abbotsford Hospital. Born in Denmark, married in 1947, she immigrated to Edmonton, Alberta in 1956 and moved to Pender Island in 1980. During the last 20+ years she lived in Pioneer Park in Aldergrove. Ebba was a wife for 50 years, a mother to Rene, Anette and grandmother to Heidi, Jesse and Jacob. She was a second mother to some, a good friend to many and an active volunteer. Her curiosity, enthusiasm and vitality, even at 94 were remarkable. Ebba was a prodigious reader, furious knitter and legendary cook. We will all miss Mom’s famous Danish Christmas smorgasbord. Ebba remained engaged with the world; bright, active and determined throughout her long life. She was predeceased by Olfert Grundholm and her 4 siblings in Denmark. She will be sadly missed by her children, grandchildren and all those who were touched by her spirit and generosity. There will be a Memorial in Pioneer Park in October.
