The longest Canadian election since the 19th century kicked off on Sunday, Aug. 2, and will conclude on Oct. 19.

For the first time in a decade, Langley voters will be divided among two different ridings, following a restructuring of boundaries due to population growth.

The new riding of Cloverdale-Langley City includes portions of Surrey, all of Langley City, and a strip of Langley Township north of the City and west of 200th Street.

Langley-Aldergrove includes the remainder of the Township and a portion of western Abbotsford.

Candidates for all the major parties have been selected in both ridings.

YOUR NEXT OIL CHANGE

Name: Walter Perry What is your current ride?

1955 Lincoln Capri 2 door hardtop What’s your perfect drive?

I love driving the Sea to Sky Highway from Squamish to Pemberton. It would be a perfect drive if I could do it in a Corvette.

If money was no object, what car would be in your garage tomorrow?

A 2015 Corvette with 620 HP or a 1958 Chrysler 300.

Are you a regular at Langley Good Times Cruise-In, and why or why not?

I have never missed a Langley CruiseIn show. I enjoy seeing all of the different cars and trucks that arrive from various parts of the country and the US. There is always such a great turn out for this event. It is good for Langley and like that the proceeds go to charity. The entertainment is pretty good, too.

Most memorable road trip?

Travelling over the Top of the World Highway in Alaska in my motorhome and towing a pickup. It is a pretty scary bit of road!

Which is better – driving a car or working in the garage?

Driving the car for sure.

Just cruising through town is a lot of fun.

My two-year-old grandson wants to come with me now and he looks so little in the big front seat with his little elbow leaning on the arm rest. He only gets to go on our quiet road because there aren’t any seatbelts in the car though.

He will be attending his first Cruise-In in September. > Read more at langleyadvance.com.

INFRASTRUCTURE

New link to highway coming within four years A long-planned highway interchange will be built in 2017.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A new $59 million highway interchange and widening project at 216th Street in Langley will begin in two years.

As part of the flurry of federal funding announcements made Friday, the joint federal-provincial-municipal project was unveiled at 202nd Street.

The project will be funded with $22.3 million each from the federal and provincial governments, and $14.3 million from Langley Township. The Township is only contributing to the interchange, not the accompanying road widening.

“For years an intersection at Highway 1 and 216th Street has been high on the Township’s wish list,” said acting mayor David Davis.

He noted that he remembered protesting years ago with his father and grandfather to have such an interchange built.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

MP Mark Warawa, Councillor David Davis, and MLA Rich Coleman were on hand to announce the $59 million interchange project.

The project has been on the Township’s transportation plan as a priority since 2009.

The project includes the widening of the Trans Canada Highway from 202nd Street to

216th, out to six lanes from the current four.

“This has been a priority,”

said Langley MP Mark Warawa.

“This was the year that we committed to make it happen.”

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman said the opportunities for a commercial development on the south side of the interchange could generate an estimated 700 to 800 jobs.

The actual design of the interchange and any commercial area will require rezonings, and will go through a local public hearing process.

The Ministry of Transportation is also expected to do some stakeholder consultation later this year, before the design of the interchange is finalized.

With construction slated to start in 2017, the project will likely take about 18 months, said Coleman.

The fall of 2019 is a likely completion date for the entire interchange.

The interchange will allow drivers a third way to cross the highway between Walnut Grove and Willoughby.

It will also connect to a network of new and existing routes that will give quicker connections from the highway to Trinity Western University and Glover Road.

ACHIEVEMENT

Athletes feted

Three Special Olympians will be honoured in Langley.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance. com

A trio of athletes who did their community and Canada proud at the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles will be honoured next Thursday, Aug. 13 at Douglas Park Spirit Square.

Swimmer Josh Low and basketball players Alastair Singh and Matthew Williams competed for Canada at the games, with Josh winning a gold medal in the 25-metre backstroke and Alastair and Matthew helping Team Canada’s hoops team make it all the way to the bronze medal game.

The public is invited to join the three athletes along with their families as well as volunteers and supporters of Special Olympics Langley as they celebrate their successes from 7 to 8 p.m. at Spirit Square, 20550 Douglas Crescent.

Airport interest takes off

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

New blacktop will greet new companies taking up residence over the next year at the Langley Regional Airport.

On Wednesday, July 29 the provincial government announced a grant of $287,025 dollars to help repave the runways, taxiways, and aprons at the airport.

“It’s an infrastructure project that we have needed for some time,” said airport manager Guy Miller.

The airport itself is kicking in its own funds to cover the total paving cost of $382,700.

The current paving is getting old and cracking.

“It’s come to the end of its useful life,” said Miller.

The main reason for repaving is safety, but Miller said the other reason is to give the

Over the next few years, several new firms will either open facilities or start construction at the airport.

The Northside development will finally be finished with the completion this year of Vector Aerospace’s sizeable facility near the corner of 216th Street and 56th Avenue, said Miller.

That large building will employ about 200 people and could open as soon as this December.

Meanwhile, Merlin Aviation, next to the control tower, is working to get through the certifications necessary to offer local commuter flight service.

Miller said the new blacktop shouldn’t interfere with either the business functions or the recreational flyers at the airport too much.

Pilots will have to make some detours during paving, expected to take place either this fall or next spring, but the airport won’t have to shut down.

The staff and residents of two homes for disabled adults turned a Langley political announcement Friday into a chance to protest the lack of wheelchair accessibility.

Langley MP Mark Warawa and acting mayor David Davis, Township Councillor Petrina Arnason, and several staffers arrived at Williams Park the afternoon of July 31.

They were met by the residents of Graceline Gates and Ruby Willows, two nearby private care homes.

Operated by mother and daughter Terry Loeffler and Tammy Guy, the homes are a very short distance from the park.

Their residents are frequently escorted to Williams Park to enjoy the fresh air and natural beauty.

The long, long road to the polls

T

Burdened with a load of politics

A

fter Sunday’s federal election announcement, I called on a couple of friends for the inside track on what’s happening.

Longtime buddies Sam and Pip are old dogs in the political arena. Not so much backroom as mudroom players, they know where the bones are buried, and how to retrieve them.

Sam is the statesmen of the pair, the thinker, the planner. Pip is more down-to-earth. He keeps his nose to the ground, and doesn’t mind digging through the dirt for the useful bits.

Sam will surprise you with his understanding of what’s going on, but Pip is the initiator, the one who gets the ball rolling...

That’s why, when Sam decided the time was ripe to start a new political party – he’s thinking of calling it the Canadian Return to Access Party – it was Pip who immediately drafted the C.R.A.P. policy statement, entitled simply, List Of Access Demands.

“The first thing we need to fix,” growled Sam, “is the fixed election dates.”

“Which aren’t fixed at all,” Pip interjected.

“Exactly,” Sam snarled. “First thing [Prime Minister Stephen] Harper did after supposedly fixing the election dates at four-year intervals was to call an election after three years...

“A year early!” Pip barked.

“And now,” Sam continued, “Harper “That’s the way it’s supposed to has seized further advantage by doubling work,” Sam grumbled. the official election campaign period by “But it doesn’t,” snapped Pip. “Not exercising his parliamentary prerogative, when you have the pretense of fixed as every smart prime minister of any election dates.” political stripe will continue to do in “Harper got away with breaking his future.” own rule once,” Sam noted, “but twice “That’s why,” Pip piped up, “it’s would create a public perception probone of the first issues addressed in the lem, especially now with the Duffy L.O.A.D. of C.R.A.P.” thing, the oil prices dogging him, the “Every party has its equivalent to our overall economy threatening to tank...”

L.O.A.D. of C.R.A.P.,” explained Sam. “And then there’s Pierre Poutine’s “Harper was going to fix the Senate, for robo-calls,” Pip joined in, “and all the instance, and a lot of other things.” other election rules that have been “But we’ll stand by our L.O.A.D. and broken.” won’t flush it down the toilet the day “So now we have all the fall-out of we’re elected,” Pip promised.

Odd Thoughts

his will be one for the history books, one way or another.

It begins with parts of the country baking under mid-summer heat, and by the time we actually go to the polling stations on Oct. 19, it will have snowed in Winnipeg.

Probably two or three times.

This will be the longest election in modern Canadian history, and one of the first in which there are three major parties, each with at least a decent chance of winning and forming a government.

The media, whether printed on paper or delivered via smartphone, will be full of the usual stories over the next 11 weeks.

We’ll have the candidates who pop up and say stupid things to embarrass their own party. There will be gaffes and blunders, and endless debate over whether this or that gaffe will actually matter to the voters. There will definitely be black-andwhite attack ads showing opposing politicians looking sinister, as if they might kick puppies on breaks from campaigning.

There will be polls, polls by the truckload, for those who are entranced by every 0.3 per cent change in a party’s chances.

Here in the Langleys, we will have a few things that are new, besides the length of the campaign.

Langley now has two ridings for the first time in nearly a decade – CloverdaleLangley City and Langley-Aldergrove, and we’re sharing our future politicians with Surrey and Abbotsford.

We’ve got what looks like a serious slate of candidates from all the major parties nominated across both ridings. Some of them have run for office before, but for most of them, this will be their first time trying to win over the voters.

Every election, we suggest to the voters that they do their best to stay informed, and we’ll do our best to give them the information they need to do that. We’ll all have plenty of time to do so this round.

An 11-week election campaign may be too long. But at the end of it, as we pass by the faded lawn signs, we’ll have no excuse for not having enough information to make an informed decision.

Letters to the editor

‘Damaged heart’ needs healing Dear Editor, I’m outraged.

I’m writing you with respect to the letter by Mike Brian published in the July 23 Langley Advance [Downtown dirty, dangerous].

I agree that the downtown area could use some cleaning up.

I can’t think of a city or town that doesn’t. Could more efforts be made? Suuuure!

However, I take great exception to Mr. Brian calling these homeless people “useless para-

sites” and “scum.”

I can’t believe his diabolical lack of compassion and empathy towards other human beings.

Does he think they like being homeless and addicted to drugs?

Does he think they enjoy sleeping on the street and wondering where their next meal will come from?

Does he assume they’re proud, happy people enjoying a comfy, privileged way of living?

Maybe instead of ranting and raving – and cruelly insulting

others who clearly need help and support – Mr. Brian could look inwards… and concentrate on healing his own damaged heart.

I post this with Miles Gallagher in mind.

I’m sure Mr. Brian would have quickly dismissed Miles as one of the “parasites” he so coolly refers to, but from what I’ve learned about Miles Gallagher and his horrifying death, I have found him to have been any-

thing but that.

Marie Fraser, Langley

Motorists’ empathy lacking Daycare Dear Editor, Recently I was driving with my husband west on Fraser Highway and made a left onto I believe 196th Street in order to make a U-turn and go east on Fraser.

I made the turn, and was in a merging lane to get back to Fraser, when we saw a man in a motorized wheelchair, half off the sidewalk, and in danger of tipping over.

Corporation does not have to care Dear Editor, I wondered why the Langley Advance would print this tangent column defending the honour of corporations until I got to the end and saw who wrote it [Where there’s smoke, there’s fire and some excuses, July 15 Opinion].

A corporation does not “have to care” and it’s demonstrated every day. At best, they may choose to care to serve their interests.

The responsibility is to the shareholders, not to society. A shareholder expects the corporation to do everything within the law to increase said wealth. I think that tied in with columnist Bob Groeneveld stating, “unless we made it specifically illegal to smoke while driving”.

All those things you mentioned are side effects of increasing wealth for the shareholders who may sometimes be society (e.g.charities).

I think Bob was entirely correct to refer to corporations as inanimate objects because they are and are only treated as persons by law to assign rights and protections in our capitalist society (i.e. they are persons on paper).

There was just no better solution they could come up with. I don’t think this problem exists in communist states.

Anyways, I think Bob is right in what he said.

Case in point, corporations sell the cigarettes to

begin with.

Michael Rex, Maple Ridge

We asked if he needed help, and he said “yes.”

I realize now that we should have called police or someone to help him, but we decided to get him back on the sidewalk ourselves.

Both of us are seniors, my husband has his own health problems, with very bad knees. So, as we are trying to help, my husband fell, and I couldn’t get him up, he’s quite heavy. Luckily, a young woman was walking by, saw him fall, and helped me get him up.

We got the wheelchair back on the sidewalk, the man wheeled away, and we also left.

This whole episode probably took at least 10 minutes, and the purpose of this letter is to express my dismay, and disbelief at the number of people that drove by on Fraser and had to have seen what was happening.

Not one person stopped, or even called out if we needed help.

I want to thank that young lady that helped my husband and I, and shame on the rest of you.

Donna Martin-Tonks, Brookswood

costly

Dear Editor, When I received my little (and very taxable) UCCB (Universal Child Care Benefit) cheque in the mail yesterday, I put my ear to the ground and could hear a swiftly approaching election.

This new UCCB is only a fraction of the average cost of daycare. Parents need affordable daycare, not summer pocket money. It is commonly estimated that for every dollar spent on preschool, seven dollars is saved. Where else can you get that rate of return?

Does each party have a plan in place for affordable daycare? How about quality regulated early childhood education that transitions seamlessly to kindergarten? It would also create good jobs for early childhood educators and perhaps teachers who want summer work.

Hilary Ruffini of the B.C. Farm Museum peers through an antique transit, one of several owned by or on loan to the B.C. Farm Museum’s display on early surveyors.

I

n a history of pioneers, gold miners, loggers, and fur traders, one group that trekked through early British Columbia is often overlooked: the surveyors.

A display at the B.C. Farm Museum in Fort Langley casts a spotlight on the people who measured out the colony and province, using a handful of

simple instruments, math, and a lot of sweat and toil.

Hilary Ruffini put together the exhibit, which displays some of the antique tools actually used in 19th century surveying work, including levels, transits, and surveyors’ chains.

She was talking with museum president Syd Pickerell about the Dominion Land Survey,

and she started reading more. She stumbled on a book about surveyor Frank Swannell, who had left numerous photos and journals behind.

“They were so adventurous,” she said of the stories. he dove into more research, and a few months ago began working seriously on the

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then

good solution for most people.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are quiet sounds are no longer naturally particularly interested in candidates amplified in the ear and loud sounds who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can no longer dampened. benefit from a demonstration to see This leads to more difficulty in hearing whether they notice an improvement. what is said in a lot of situations.

exhibit that now greets visitors to the museum.

“The first surveyors led a really hard life,” said Ruffini.

The very first surveying crews were with the Royal Engineers who arrived around 1858 and 1859, when B.C. first became a British Colony.

The only surveying done before that had been

in Langley, where the Hudson’s Bay Company had laid out its farm along the Salmon River in the Milner area. hat’s why property lines in that area of Langley turn diagonal around Glover Road. But in the 1850s, there was a political situation that affected the lay of the land.

Survey equipment on display …continued from A11

There was an urgent need to mark off boundaries, especially the boundary between British colonial territory and the United States.

“They just cut straight as a die,” Ruffini said, pointing to photos that show a line of trees chopped through virgin forest.

Surveyors mapped out townsites like New Westminster, and some maps show fanciful plans for dividing up land around Fort Langley that never came to pass.

They also laid out the earliest major roads in the colony and province, like the 400 mile Cariboo Road and the 450 mile Dewdney Trail.

They marked off vast amounts of land, all using transits, levels, chains, and compasses. Detailed notes for the Dominion Land Survey, and later for the provincial govern-

The work demanded both technical knowledge and back-breaking physical toil.

Among the tools on displays are axes, and a surveying crew also needed a cook, packers, guides, por-

ters, and canoeists, depending on the terrain.

They used First Nations canoes or built their own boats, or took trains of pack horses.

“They very often just had to hoof it,” said Ruffini. “If you

They were scourged by mosquitoes, suffered numerous injuries, and in one case in the B.C. Interior, a crew lost all their supplies to a forest fire.

Wherever they went, they hammered stakes and metal pegs into the ground, and marked trees. In the Prairies, without trees, they dug up mounds of sod to mark out boundaries and key locations.

The surveying allowed for the settlement of B.C., and paved the way for the farmers and loggers who would found modern Langley and other communities.

“What I hope to show is how exciting it was,” Ruffini said.

The display includes a number of loaned items, including the intricate brass transits from around B.C. This display is on now.

HISTORY

Fur brigades arrival worth the wait in Fort Langley Monday’s event brought huge crowds to Marina Park for the re-enactment.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The boats, moving west along the Fraser River, were about 20 minutes behind schedule, but the mood of those waiting for the arrival of the fur brigades was cheerful.

History was made once again on the shores of Fort Langley on the final day of the B.C. Day long weekend, and on Monday the mid-summer heat held off a bit, making the wait much more

bearable for those who gathered to see the brigades come in.

The event included Fort Langley National Historic Site interpreters and volunteers walking in procession from the Fort to Marina Park where they welcomed the brigades.

Each year, Brigade Days marks the arrival of fur trading brigades from B.C. Interior posts between 1848 and 1858.

And for the second year in a row, a York boat was among the vessels that glided onto the southern shores of the Fraser River at Marina Park during the signature re-enactment of the Fort Langley National Historic Site’s (FLNHS) B.C. Day weekend-long Brigade Days celebration.

In the mid-19th century, hundreds of people arrived with

Kwantlen First Nation representative Kevin Kelly spoke to visitors after drumming and singing a welcome song after the fur brigades boats came ashore.

their year’s return of furs.

The brigades came down in canoes full of furs and other goods that had been traded with First Nations at the Interior forts,

and would bring other supplies back to the Interior from Fort Langley at the end of the summer. >More photos on page A15…

Separate liability coverage is also required for crossing a public highway. Additional coverage is available for loss or damage to the machine in the event of a collision or comprehensive type loss. As well, legislation of the new Off Road Vehicle Act has introduced implementing a registration and licence plate for your off road vehicle.

What’s the difference between bifocals and progressive lenses?

hundred years. With a bifocal there is a small window in the lens for reading. This allows the wearer to see at a distance and close-up with the same set of glasses. Progressive lenses have been available for approximately the last 60 years. A progressive lens has no visible line on it. A progressive lens allows not just distance and reading but also intermediate vision. Because the lens power builds gradually from the distance portion of the lens to the reading area you also have access to all distances in between. Progressive lenses have been referred to as “multi-focal” lenses for this reason. For most people a progressive lens offers a better solution for seeing at all distances.

Q: My child seems to prefer individual

pursuits rather than team sports. We’ve heard martial arts can help. How?

A:

It is not unusual for some children to feel overwhelmed and a little insecure in a team environment – especially if they are not naturally gifted athletically. Martial arts is a wonderful choice for aiding in the development of fine and gross motor skills, improving coordination, stabilizing balance, and increasing flexibility, in a non-competitive environment where they do not feel inadequate in comparison to their peers. These developing skills not only enhance ability, but transfer to other activities, thereby helping a child to feel more confident and excited about participating in other sports.

Q: When should I apply an exterior paint?

A:

An exterior paint should be applied with a temperature above 10 degrees celcius. Do not apply an exterior paint when rain or heavy dew are expected within 48 hours. New concrete, masonry or plaster should be cured for 30 days.

A:

Yes, you should continue to see your

primary care dentist every four to six months for cleanings and dental checkups. The placement of bands and brackets on your teeth does not hurt. Once your braces are placed and connected with the archwires you may feel some soreness of your teeth for one to four days. Your lips and cheeks may need one to two weeks to get used to the braces on your teeth.

Gardening in Langley

Raspberry soil must hold water any advice.

Dear E,

E., Vancouver

A garden bed under a south wall is usually the sunniest and hottest place in a garden. The foot of a south wall is also the driest spot, not just because of sun but

ANNE MARRISON

Dear Anne,

In 2010 we planted a row of raspberry plants in good soil along the south wall of the house.

We put manure on each spring and we have a sprinkler system (except not right now). But we don’t have raspberries.

There aren’t many blossoms and although there are bees around only a very few and mostly very small berries. When we had other raspberries elsewhere we had no problem. I’d appreciate

also because foundation drains are usually placed deeper down along the house wall.

If you have a roof overhang there, it will be even harder to moisten your southwall soil to the degree raspberries like. They don’t need to be in a swamp, but they do need soil that holds moisture.

As it is, the hot sun and high temperatures this year would have sucked away the sprinkler moisture even while it’s being applied – that is if you have an above-ground sprinkler.

Some gardeners call underground watering setups ‘sprinkler systems.’

But if yours is underground, the result wouldn’t be much different due to hot sun and underground drains.

You would have more productive raspberries if you moved them to another site away from the south wall. If it’s in semishade, that’s no problem for raspberries.

Adding some Sea Soil or manure to earth in the new site would help retain moisture. So would

mulching the raspberry plants. You could use grass clippings or bark mulch.

Peat isn’t a good choice for mulching.

Aside from environmental concerns, peat is so hard to moisten once it gets dry. letter from Keith in Burnaby has underscored the importance of checking the best-before date for nematodes.

Last week, he picked up a package of nematodes from a very reputable hardware store – one of a chain across Canada.

Keith writes: “When I got home, I noticed the best before date was May 31, 2015.

I called them to see if these nematodes would still be okay to use. The reply was that they should be OK, but I could return them if I wanted.

“I was advised by the company that produced the nematode product that the nematodes were probably dead and should be returned to the store I

purchased them from – which I did.”

Keith then went to a big box store and bought another package of nematodes.

“Our package best before date was Sept 15, 2015. If they don’t sell quickly, how long do they keep these nematode packages in a fridge? More than two weeks?”

The chafer-fighting nematode (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora) can be used effectively only for about two weeks in late July which is usually when chafer eggs hatch. But the issue isn’t only how long nematodes stay alive prior to use.

If the nematodes are used later than the end of July, the chafer larvae have grown large enough to delve deeper into the soil where the tiny nematodes can’t catch them.

Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley currently uses four full-time roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow. Pulling equipment away for a specific request lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches.

If you have a request for mowing or brush whacking, we ask for your patience as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible.

We thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements.

Family fun hoedown in Aldergrove fights fibromyalgia A hoedown welcomes those dealing with pain.

Firbromyalgia is a difficult condition. Not only is it hard to diagnose and treat, it’s also hard for others to understand.

There is a group devoted to supporting those

with the condition: The Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation.

Saturday, Aug. 15 is the ideal time to get to know others with Fibromyalgia and have some good old-fashioned family fun at the Well Spring Foundation’s fifth annual Western Hoedown.

Organizer Lori Rippin said the event is usually quite well attended by those

with the condition as well as family and friends.

“We usually have about 100 people,” she said.

It all happens at 25039 8th Ave. from 1 to 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 15 on a farm owned by the daughter of the organization’s founder and executive director.

Rippin noted it’s the ideal time to find others to share with, while also sharing fun, music and

some laughs.

“We have several different varieties of music going to be played there,” noted Rippin. “It’s really audience friendly.”

There will also be crafts for kids along with a petting zoo, silent auction, ticket draws, horseback riding, food, and lots of live music.

Tickets are available at the door or at the Well

The Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation is hosting its fifth annual Western Hoedown on Aug. 15.

Spring Foundation office and thrift store at #10920631 Fraser Hwy. It’s $10 for adults, $5 for

kids six to 15, and free for those under six.

Downtown Langley plays host to a range of creatures.

A

s part of the McBurney Plaza Summer Series, all kinds of animals (and humans) will make their way to downtown Langley for a free afternoon of educational fun on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m.

Event planner for the Downtown Langley Business Association (DLBA), Laura Warren noted the City and the DLBA decided to host the series of free family events, including Animals in the Plaza.

A mobile petting zoo is at the plaza Aug. 8.

“Cinemazoo will be on hand with their mobile petting zoo,” Warren said. “It’s a trailer with a petting zoo set up inside.”

Goats, sheep, rabbits, and other animals will be available to visit with.

Some people like the creepy crawlers more than the fuzzy animals so the Urban Safari Rescue Society

will also be on site to do a demonstration and presentation about animal care and animal needs.

“The animals will be in their cages,” Warren said.

“You can go and meet them and see them.”

Another part of the event will be Vicki’s Paw Spa. “She’s a Langley business,” Warren said. “She will do a demo on the dos and don’ts of pet grooming.”

Plus, children who attend are welcome to take part in an animal-themed craft.

Organizers advise visitors to leave their pets at home as it is expected to be a hot afternoon, with many people, and the animals on display can be easily frightened by pets.

Whether the action is at McBurney Plaza or another part of the neighbourhood, there is always something free and entertaining going on, she added.

The next McBurney Plaza Summer Series event will be a circus event on Sept. 26.

Golf funds friends Newlands is the spot to be to help kids in need of

mentoring relationships as the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley hold the annual Golf for Kids Sake event.

Executive director Mary Reeves noted this is one of the events that significantly contributes to the work of the local not-for-profit organization.

“Our events are at least a third of our budget,” she said. “We’re really grateful for the sponsors that support this event.”

Shotgun start for golfing is at 1 p.m. on Aug. 13 with food and putting contests beforehand.

“We have room for about two or three more foursomes,” Reeves said.

She added there will be plenty to see and do beyond golf.

“People are really excited about it,” she said. “We have new vendors and there will be something to do on every hole. All of our sponsorships are in place.”

Plus, money raised at the event stays in the community to help local kids.

“We’re all about showing long-term results,” noted Reeves. “The whole focus of this agency is about men-

toring and prevention.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters was noted in the 2015 Growing up in BC report published by the provincial representative for children and youth as having a positive impact on youth.

Swim with Nemo Still looking to find Nemo?

Find him at the Al Anderson Memorial Pool on Aug. 8 from 7:30 to 10 p.m. for the Dive-in movie event.

Admission is $5 per person and while there are some floatie toys available at the pool, families are invited to bring their own to ensure a comfortable movie-going experience. Finding Nemo will be shown on the pool’s 35’ x 25’ blow up screen, according to Ken Vautour, a clerk at the facility at 4949 207th St. “There will be a bunch of colouring contests going on and other activities,” Vautour said.

This will help keep fingers from pruning up, as will the opportunity to purchase a hot dog or popcorn at the concession.

“It’s loads of fun,” noted Vautour.

Staff at a Walnut Grove restaurant are putting the finishing touches on a pirate-like party next week that will help send dozens of sick kids to camp.

The team at the Walnut Grove White Spot, as well as the other two Langley restaurants – in Willowbrook and Aldergrove – are expected to adorn their best swashbuckling outfits and host Pirate Pak Day on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

On that day, buccaneers both young and young-at-heart can relive childhood memories by ordering a Pirate Pak. A toonie from the sale of every adult Pirate Pak (ordered either as dine-in or take-out) will be donated to Zajac Ranch for Children.

“Pirate Pak Day is a big event for us, one that both our staff and guests look forward to every year,” said White Spot president Warren Erhart.

“Money raised on this special day helps young mateys facing

difficult challenges, and wouldn’t be possible without the participation of our valued guests.”

Zajac is a local charity, located just across the river, northeast of Maple Ridge, providing kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a special summer camp experience. Activities range from kayaking and climbing, to swimming and horseback riding.

Camp founder Mel Zajac thanked the local restaurants for participating, but also the customers who come out each year to help.

In the past six years, Pirate Pak Day has raised almost $350,000 and consequently sent 200 kids to camp.

“White Spot has become integral in our ability to enrich the lives of kids who need support,” Zajac said. “Community initiatives like Pirate Pak Day help us offer illness-specific camps that put smiles on the faces of these kids.

For instance, many of our campers get to ride horses for the first time in their life.”

Share with me your favourite White Spot memory (250 words or less), at contest@ langleyadvance.com, before 5 p.m. on Aug. 21, and you will be entered in to win a $50 gift card to White Spot. Preference is given to Langley residents.

VOLLEYBALL

Historic year for Spartans It may only be early August, but there’s already a near infallible argument to be made that 2015 will go down as the most impressive year to date in Trinity Western University volleyball’s history.

With former Spartan Chaim Schalk (graduated in 2009) and his partner Ben Saxton claiming their first ever FIVB silver medal on the beach at the Yokohama Grand Slam and both Steven Marshall (’13) and Rudy Verhoeff (’12) helping Canada to a bronze medal at the Pan American Games last month, yet another couple of TWU-branded paragraphs were written in this year’s story of success.

The Langley Rams ground out a hardfought 25-17 road win over a possibly over-confident Kamloops Broncos squad on Sunday.

Running backs Nathan Lund (10 carries for 144 yards and a touchdown) and Devin Logan (nine rushes for 82 yards) did most of the damage for the defending B.C. Football Conference champion Rams, who won their first game of the season after opening their campaign with a 22-14 loss to the host V.I. Raiders on July 25.

The insertion of quarterback Dylan Tucker on the final play of the third quarter helped spark the Rams, who compiled 15 fourth quarter points to earn the comeback victory.

Tucker’s lone completion of the game was a 19-yard touchdown toss to receiver Seye Akinsanmi.

Also in the fourth quarter, Langley’s Jacob Patko ran the ball in for a touchdown from about three yards out.

“We put in Dylan Tucker and he had the ability to lead the team and comprised two drives that put in two scores, that put us in a position to win the game,” Rams head coach Jeff Alamolhoda said. “We felt we

needed a spark in the offence, while our defence did a pretty good job of holding off Kamloops’ offence.”

Langley’s defence had something to prove. According to the Rams’ website, after Kamloops thumped the Valley Huskers 72-17 in week one, Broncos’ offensive coordinator Mike Faisthuber told a Kamloops newspaper that “he expected to put up between 40 or 50 points and about 500 passing yards against Langley.”

Leading the Rams defence was defensive back Clovis Lumeka with an interception that he ran back 22 yards to go along with four tackles and a knockdown.

Also having strong games were defensive tackle Alex Agnoletto with eight tackles and linebacker Jacob Dodd with seven tackles.

Defensive end Saeed Hosain Ali sacked Broncos quarterback Stephen Schuweiler twice while recording four tackles.

“The defence played outstanding,” Alamolhoda said.

“They were a little bit motivated by the comments of the offensive coordinator of the Kamloops Broncos, and they held [off] an explosive and potent offence that can really score a lot of points.

A lot of the guys… left everything out on the field.”

Rams kicker Brian Hope kicked a 27 yard field goal and also booted three converts and a single.

The Rams trailed 14-10 at halftime.

Then, after a scoreless third quarter by both teams, the visitors took over in the fourth quarter.

For the Broncos, who held a 14-3 lead at one point of the second quarter, touchdowns came from Schuweiler on the ground and Derek Yachison in the air. Robbie Martin kicked a field goal and two converts for Kamloops.

Schuweiler was held to 213 yards passing, as he completed 19 of 33 pass attempts.

The Rams’ home opener is Saturday, Aug. 8, when they host Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers at McLeod Stadium.

Opening kickoff is 7 p.m.

O

n behalf of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), it is my great pleasure to welcome you Langley for the second qualifier from the brand new Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League.

The recently reformatted North American League which includes seven East and seven West Coast venues in three countries – the United States, Mexico and Canada – is a fantastic development for the sport in this region and for our worldwide series.

Langley is the second of the 14 carefully selected events on the Longines FEI World Cup™ North American League calendar, and is a brilliant opportunity for some of the world’s best athletes to shine on a North American stage and showcase top-level equestrian sport to fans across North America and the world.

This league is one among 16 taking part in the highly successful and global FEI World Cup™ Jumping series which has been in existence

since 1978 and this season includes 115 qualifiers in 43 countries leading to the star studded Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Final in Gothenburg, Sweden, next March.

Over the past three decades, we have seen many of the greatest athletes hold the FEI World Cup™ trophy proudly aloft, including North American legends such as Ian Millar (CAN) and Big Ben in 1988 and 1989, and more recently Rich Fellers and the amazing Flexible in 2012 followed by Beezie Madden and the sensible Simon in 2013.

All the athletes you will have the pleasure of seeing here are champions in their own right and have spent many hours perfecting their craft, and I wish them every success.

I want to extend my gratitude to our loyal and

dedicated top partner Longines for extending their global support of our sport to the North American League as the official Title Partner and Watch of the Longines FEI World Cup™ for each of the 14 events part of this league.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Organising Committee and their partners for their vision and efforts at enabling this event and acting as a motor for international equestrian sport in the region.

To the volunteer body and sponsors, as well as the athletes, the enthusiastic public and the media representatives, this would not be possible without you, so thank you for your dedication and loyalty.

In whatever capacity you are attending this Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping North American League qualifier, I wish you an enjoyable event, conducted in the best spirit of great horsemanship.

COMPETITOR

Work is worth it for Langley horsewoman Andrea Strain balances competing and training.

F

or a Langley rider and equestrian trainer, competing locally comes with the need for a heavy dose of balance, something Andrea Strain, owner of Villa Training focuses on on a daily basis.

“I don’t know that it’s necessarily possible to keep them separate… it’s a lot of juggling,” she said of both sides of her life.

“I love the two a lot. I love training, teaching people. But I aIso really love the competing aspect for myself. I couldn’t see myself doing one without the other at this point. I think it’s a really good balance.”

Balance is important. Each side of the coin comes with its own demands. Competing in Grand Prix contests requires both mental and physical endurance along with a connection to the horse.

Helping others succeed in competing demands focus, attention to detail, outstanding communication skills, and the ability to identify and interpret the cues of both horse and rider.

That being said, Strain knows her own preparations and competition experiences make her a better trainer to others because

Thunderbird so close to home.

“We’re a huge supporter of Thunderbird. Every year you roll in there [you look to see] what have they improved on. It’s a great atmosphere. They do a very, very good job,” she said.

“Their footing just keeps getting better and better.” ike her own business requires balance, so too does competing locally. Not only does she compete with her own horses, but her clients also compete at Thunderbird, requiring Strain to wear both hats.

She’s been competing there more than six times a year since 1999 when the new Thunderbird facility opened.

“I think it’s a Catch-22,” said Strain of local competitions. “I think it’s a real job of me being able to balance the home farm and the horse show. But at the same time we’re super lucky because we have such a nice place like that in our backyard.”

Strain learns a lot from her mentors and fellow riders.

“I’m constantly writing things down,” she said.

Part of her mental preparation before a competition includes reviewing key points she has learned over the years and reviewing things others have shared with her.

“I do this because I love the horses,” she said. “And the horses come first.”

A mix of competing and training horses and riders keeps Langley’s Andrea Strain of Villa Training focused and balanced in her horse-centric business. she is fully aware of what kinds of mental hurdles are placed before a rider – both real and imagined.

“It’s a huge balance to get going with the young [horses] but then being able to have the

finesse to go in the Grand Prix with a well-schooled horse,” she said.

Her life-long passion for horses began early at an early age, with her parents “breaking down” and buying Strain her first pony

when she was just a six-yearold.

“It just kind of grew from there,” she noted.

Having competed in national and international events, Strain feels lucky to have a facility like

PRESIDENT

Thunderbird president carrying family torch Jane Tidball is happy to continue the legacy of her parents, George and Dianne.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

S

he’s handling the reins of one of the premier equestrian show jumping facilities on the continent, but for Jane Tidball, it’s another day at the park.

The president and tournament director of Thunderbird Show Park – voted by the North American Riders Group (NARG) as the No. 2 show facility in North America behind Calgary’s Spruce Meadows – is carrying on the legacy of her parents George and Dianne, both of whom passed away in June 2014.

“My parents taught us to dream big, but be prepared to do the work to make those dreams a reality,” Tidball said.

“They also taught us to enjoy the ride, celebrate each victory and treat people who walk into your place of business as you would guests in your own home.

It’s what my parents believed in and it’s at the heart of everything we do.”

Tidball will do whatever it takes to help make Thunderbird

successful, with her day-to-day duties ranging from picking up garbage on the grounds to financing and strategic planning.

Her philosophy: “I never ask a member of my team to do something I wouldn’t do myself.”

She loves horses but leaves the riding to the experts in her family including her daughter Laura-Jane (LJ), who competes at the World Cup level, and her sister Laura, a former Olympian who has earned the top coaching designation in Canada – the EC NCCP High Performance.

Currently, Tidball is focused on a very busy August highlighted by a World Cup competition, which starts at 1 p.m. on Aug. 16.

“It feels like our August shows get bigger every year and this season is no exception,” Tidball said. “There will be some fantastic competition for our spectators to take in as we celebrate our inaugural Longines World Cup.” The World Cup serves as a qualifier for riders looking ahead to the FEI finals in Gothenburg, Sweden, next year and is attracting competitors from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Venezuela, and Egypt. ringing in this kind of world-class talent is a byproduct of Thunderbird not resting on its laurels, and continually looking for ways to fine tune its facility, Tidball said.

B

ated the Dianne Tidball Legacy Scholarship to support developing young riders and help them achieve their goals.” here’s a balance between staying true to the traditions of the sport while driving venue improvements through new technologies, Tidball said, noting that the Longines World Cup is taking Thunderbird “further into the mainstream by creating an international World Cup league with 14 North American stops.”

“It’s an exciting time and we’re fortunate to have our local partner and presenting sponsor, Noel Asmar Equestrian, joining us on the big day,” she said.

August is traditionally the busiest month at the park, and Tidball said she and the rest of the Thunderbird team love the atmosphere the month brings.

“There are several hundred horses on the grounds, their people and more than a few dogs – it’s energizing,” she said. “The August shows are like Christmas for us and we look forward to it all year. The grounds are peaceful and quiet when we arrive at sunrise, revving up through the day to the excitement of a World Cup ceremony. We invite everyone to visit us and experience it first hand.”

Jane Tidball is president of Thunderbird Show Park, a family business started in 1973 by her parents George and Dianne.

“My mother always said, ‘When people drive through the gates at Thunderbird, we want them to wonder what’s new and exciting,’” Tidball related. “I’m so proud to be upholding that philosophy.”

This year, it’s the George & Dianne Tidball Legacy Arena, which Tidball describes as a “new, state-of-the-art ring designed with technology that earned Thunderbird a government of Canada Scientific Research Grant.”

“It’s this commitment to staying at the cutting edge that earned ‘Tbird’ a spot among

HISTORY

Equestrian park a fixture in the community Keg Steakhouse patrons used to watch the riders.

T

hunderbird Show Park started with a child and a $150 horse.

The story of Thunderbird Show Park began in 1966 when George and Dianne Tidball purchased a horse out of a field in Penticton.

As the story goes, after driving past and feeding the same horse two days in a row on the way to a ski hill, their oldest daughter Kathy suggested to her parents that they buy it.

They did... for $150.

From there, things took off at a gallop.

Dianne started looking for acreage, and in 1969 the family sold their house in West Vancouver to move to a place more suitable for horses – Fort Langley.

From that point on, the horses always came first.

While the indoor arena and stables were built, the family lived in a trailer.

Their house would come later.

While son Stephen was

team roping and cutting in high school rodeos, the girls were refining their own riding skills.

Having hired western trainer Doug Henry, George asked him to teach Kathy and Jane, and get them ready for their first show.

When Doug asked which show and how much time he had to work with them, George simply replied, “The PNE – next week.”

And sure enough, the girls were both showing at the PNE the following week. n 1970, George and Dianne purchased property at 200th Street and Highway One. Soon after, construction began on an indoor riding arena, two stable buildings and two outdoor riding rings which would host their first show in 1972 – a quarter horse show and team roping at Thunderbird Equestrian Centre.

“We never intended on relocating,” George recalled. “We all understood that this was going to be the end of Thunderbird Equestrian Centre.”

However, Dianne had something else in mind.

The original plan was to build the park in phases, but Dianne wasn’t one to wait.

“With Dianne’s indomitable spirit, we opened with three hunter rings, three jumper rings, four warm-up rings and indoor stabling for 450,” laughed George.

The Tidballs started serious site planning before Christmas of 1998 and ground was broken the following April.

The grass areas were seeded in the fall and a construction-phase open house was held in October 1999.

Dianne oversaw development of Thunderbird Show Park in 1999, and managed it until 2005 when she handed the reins to daughter Jane. oday, Thunderbird is one of North America’s premier equestrian facilities.

Thunderbird holds six major hunter and jumper show tournaments each year.

What began with a $150 horse in 1966 has become a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art equestrian facility.

ECONOMICS

Visitors have a big impact on this community The horse industry, and big shows, are a sizable part of the local economy.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

H

undreds of horses and thousands of people will descend on Langley Township this summer for the Summer Fort Classic at the Thunderbird Show Park.

That won’t just mean a lot of riding, it will mean a sizable economic impact on Langley and the region.

Horses are big business in the Township.

Langley has long been known as the Horse Capital of B.C. It has one of the highest rates of horse ownership per capita in the province, and parts of Langley, particularly South Langley, are laced with horse trails through parks and along major roads.

The local equine industry generates more than

$60 million annually, and there are an estimated 429 farms with more than 3,800 horses, or 7.2 per cent of all the horses in the province.

Langley Township is also home to the only neonatal horse hospital in the province, along with a host of other veterinarian practices, trainers, tack and equipment shops, bedding suppliers, and boarding stables.

Show parks, of which Thunderbird is the biggest, have grown up to host world-class equine events.

Now Thunderbird’s big event will be bringing in a host of outside horses, riders, trainers, grooms, and fans for an extended period.

The influx of people will mean an economic event that will involve a lot of locals producers and service providers.

There are already 900 horses expected for the

Classic this August, and along with them will come riders, supporters, and family members.

In fact, according to the Horse Council of British Columbia, at a major horse show there will be five people for every horse.

That means approximately 4,500 people will arrive in Langley for the events at Thunderbird.

“Approximately 60 per cent of competitors are from out of province,” said Kelly Coughlin, senior program director for the Horse

Council.

“When you factor in the expenses for each person – food, housing, transportation, and entertainment

– it is a significant boon to the Langley Township economy.”

To accommodate the huge influx of both humans and horses, stores of feed and bedding are already being brought in, purchased from local and regional suppliers.

In late July, workers at the Thunderbird stables were unloading pallets of pre-bedding for the stalls where most of the horses will be kept during the big event.

Some horses will also be kept at outside boarding stables around Langley Township.

As for the approximately 4,500 humans, many of them will stay in trailers at the Thunderbird Show Park itself, living close to their animals during the competition days.

However, there will be spillover that will fill up some local hotel rooms or bed and breakfasts.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Conner Thompson, left, and Joe Keno work at Thunderbird Show Park, and spent a day recently laying out pre-bedding in stalls for the upcoming major summer events that will draw up to 900 horses. (Left) Patrick Sullivan, left, and Ryan Beggs assembled the new sign that will welcome visitors to Thunderbird Show Park.

Horses are large, powerful, and unpredictable animals.

When scared, horses can move at more than 53 kph in any direction in less than a second. A collision with a horse poses a considerable risk to the motor vehicle and its occupants, as well as to the horse and rider.

With the upcoming Summer Fort Classic and Summer Fort Festival events, Thunderbird Show Park saw the opportunity to create more fun for everyone in attendance around a common interest: food.

One connection led to another.

The people at Thunderbird asked their regular tent company if they knew anyone in the food truck circles. Folks at the tent company contacted an event planner they work with who knows the industry well and soon things started rolling.

Laine Ogilvie of MemoryLaine Events has been connected with food truck operators for a number of months and her connections made her

industry. She’s added food truck events to the other events she works on.

“I’m all in,” she said in regards to how she feels about the food truck business.

In fact, she started the Fraser Valley Food truck Association in January.

Ogilvie thinks the reason Thunderbird wanted to incorporate the food trucks into the Fort events is two-fold.

“They only have a

couple of food venues on site there and food trucks are really [popular],” she said. “And food trucks are so easy, they are self-contained and require nothing from Thunderbird.”

With the addition of the food trucks, enjoying the events becomes that much easier for families with diverse tastes.

“It’s a fun, new, unique thing to add to the classic,” she noted. “I hope that all the food trucks get quite a bit of business and I hope that everyone at Thunderbird enjoys them.”

Ogilvie also hopes that this foray into OMBO bringing food trucks to C R E L I Thunderbird for these & TRA events will lead to even TRUCK more fun with the food trucks at next year’s events.
