Paul and Ann Lengyell for Special Olympics BCPower lifter James Nikal of Prince George was among the 1,100 athletes from across B.C. who competed July 12 and 13, as Langley hosted the Special Olympics BC Summer Games. See page 25 for more photos.
GARY AHUJATimes Reporter
There were three lasting memories from the Special Olympics BC Summer Games that will stick with Arne Olson for quite some time.
One came before the Games began, one during and one after.
Olson was chair of the Games, which ran July 11 to 13 in Langley.
Olson saw a Special Olympics ath-lete — a man in his 40s — and he was standing on a sidewalk, staring off.
“I realized later he was missing the people who had dropped him off,” Olson said.
“I saw someone come up to him, a coach, turn, look him full in the face, touch his shoulder and gently — as if he were a piece of fine bone china — and say ‘Kenny, come on, come join
us, we want you here with us.’“He took him so carefully and kindly,
and with respect, back in to join the team,” Olson said.
“I thought that is all you can really ask of an organization, to treat people like that. I was so struck with that.”
The second was during the rhythmic gymnastics competition.
“I saw competitor after competitor absolutely giving it their complete and utter best,” he described.
“I saw one woman who had a metal brace extending below her knee. And how you do rhythmic gymnastics with a metal brace on, I have no idea.
“The courage with which these ath-letes competed, not just in that event, but in every event, there is no limit to the try that these athletes have. It is just full on, full throttle, raw competi-tion and it was just a remarkable thing
to watch.”And the third lasting memory was
walking through the Walnut Grove Sec-ondary gym — which hosted the clos-ing ceremonies and an athletes’ dance on Saturday night — as the competitors danced away to the music.
“I saw athletes of every shape and description and I was stuck with this thought, this picture,” he said.
“Every painter has a palette with colours that you use and as I looked at this group of people, I was stuck with that I had a complete glimpse of God’s full complete palette. I was quite taken with that.”
More than 1,100 athletes from around the province and the Yukon, 300 coaches and 1,200 volunteers took part in the Games.

Metro Vancouver directors have rejected a proposal to let stock cars race once again at a long-closed speedway in Campbell Valley Regional Park.
Metro’s environment and parks committee voted 8-3 Thursday to halt further study of the idea after passionate presentations from defenders of the park.
Most committee members agreed racing would be an incompatible use at odds with the enjoyment of tranquil nature and the use of the area by horse riders.
Most also said the proposal faced multiple high hurdles, including potential reviews over fishery or environmental risks and needed approval from the Agricultural Land Com-mission.
“From my perspective, the challenges are just too great,” said Langley Township Coun. Bob Long.
Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said it would inappropriately alter the long-standing theme of nature and equestrian use at Camp-bell Valley.
The society proposed racing at a restored speedway on a maximum of 14 days a year, with the facility acting as a multi-purpose venue for concerts and other events as well – potentially becoming a money maker for the Metro parks department.
“People say it will be the ruination of the park,” said Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, one of three directors who wanted more study on the racing option. “It’s two per cent of the park, one per cent of the time.”
Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman and North Vancouver District Coun. Mike Little also voted against the motion to reject the speedway.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter
An Abbotsford woman died in a two-vehicle crash at the intersec-tion of Fraser Highway and the Langley Bypass Sunday morning (July 14).
The 20-year-old woman was at the wheel of a Honda Civic sedan that collided with a Cadillac Esca-lade SUV at 6:50 a.m.
A written statement issued by the Langley RCMP said the Civic was traveling north on Fraser Highway and the Escalade travel-ing east on the Langley Bypass.
It appears that the Escalade was proceeding through the intersec-tion on a green light when the collision occurred, the RCMP said.
The woman was extricated from the wreckage by emergency crews, but did not survive her injuries.
The driver of the Escalade, a 69 year old Surrey man, was released from hospital after he was treated for what police described as rela-tively minor injuries.
The bypass was closed for sev-eral hours between Fraser and 200 Street while police accident investigation experts went over the crash scene.
RCMP said the exact cause of the collision has yet to be determined but speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors. Both vehicles will be undergoing mechanical inspections.
Anyone who witnessed the col-lision and has not yet spoken to police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

“I was really pleased to see how many Games volunteers came up to me afterwards to ask how they can continue being involved with Special Olympics,” said Pam Keith, the Special Olympics BC chair, as well as the announcer for the
rhythmic gymnastics competition.“In addition to being an amaz-
ing experience in itself, I think this Games will leave a great legacy of appreciation and aware-ness for Special Olympics.”
Olson, who had originally wanted 1,000 volunteers, was impressed with how flexible they
were, many of them ending up with differing roles than what they were supposed to do.
He also credited the generos-ity of the community, not just in terms of their time, but in their resources as well.
Organization for the Games began in April 2012.
Olson said while there is a sense of satisfaction from hosting a successful Games, it is also bit-tersweet to see everything come to a close.
And while the opening ceremo-nies at the Langley Events Cen-tre were a much more elaborate affair, the closing ceremonies con-
sisted of a speech from Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese and Olson’s closing address, which included just four lines: “Who loves to dance, who thinks they are a great dancer, are you happy, and if you are happy, then our Games organizing committee is happy.”

Now that a drug trafficking charge against him has been dropped, the former operator of a Langley City medical marijuana dispensary is planning to sue the people he says slandered his reputation.
“If they think this was funny and I’m going to roll over and ignore it, they’re in for a surprise,” says Randy Caine, whose Langley Medical Mari-juana dispensary closed following a July 2011 raid by RCMP.
The charge against Caine, one count of pos-session of marijuana for the purpose of traffick-ing, was dropped during a June 3, 2013 court appearance.
Under a plea bargain with the federal pros-ecutor in the case, Caine pleaded guilty to less serious violations of exceeding the amount of marijuana he was allowed under his Health Canada licence and of storing it improperly on the dispensary premises.
The deal granted Caine an absolute discharge on both counts.
Under Canadian law, an absolute discharge is not considered a conviction.
A record of an absolute discharge is kept on the Canadian Police Information Centre, a central police database, for three years, then purged.
Caine also agreed to a forfeiture order that means police do not have to return what they seized — more than eight pounds of marijuana and what an RCMP release described as “a large quantity of marijuana products, including cook-ies and candies.”
“Its like exceeding your quota on a fishing licence,” Caine says.
“You don’t get to keep the fish.”
The loss of the product, legal expenses and selling the dispensary office space in a Fraser Highway business condominium at a loss have cost him around $100,000, Caine estimates.
All over what he describes as a “quota viola-tion” that could have been handled without a police raid or criminal prosecution.
He won’t reveal who he is planning to sue at the moment, but Caine says he will be going after people who spread “absolute, blatant, malicious lies” that portrayed him as a criminal when his dispensary had a legal licence to pro-vide medicinal marijuana.
“I’m pissed about that,” Caine says.“This is to set the record straight.”He admits he exceeded the two-patient limit

his licence allowed by serving “about 150” clients, but that was a matter between him and Health Canada, Caine says, and it did not warrant a police raid and two-year criminal prosecution.
As his trial date drew near, Caine sub-poenaed the mayor of Langley City, Peter Fassbender, the officer in charge of the Langley RCMP detachment, Superinten-dent Derek Cooke, and then-Langley City Councillor Rudy Storteboom, who owned an office next to the dispensary.
They were among six people served with written court orders to appear at his trial and explain how the decision was made to raid the dispensary.
About two weeks after the subpoenas
were filed, Caine said the prosecutor in the case proposed a plea bargain that would avert a trial if Caine pleaded guilty to the trafficking charge in return for an absolute discharge.
Caine, through his lawyer, refused.After more negotiation, the trafficking
charge was dropped and Caine instead pleaded guilty to violating two sections of the Marijuana Medical Access Regula-tions by storing marijuana products at the dispensary and by possessing more dried marijuana than he was allowed under his Health Canada quota.
He was then granted an absolute dis-charge.
The police raid that closed the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary came after Councillor Storteboom complained to Mayor Fassbender.
Back in July of 2011, both men con-firmed to The Times they had a discus-sion in which the councillor brought up the dispensary that happened to be located in a condo unit next to the suite that Storteboom owned and leased to a hairdresser.
The mayor said he told the councillor that if the strata council that represents the owners believed illegal activities were being carried out, they should go to the police.
Storteboom told The Times that he relayed the mayor’s message to the strata council.
Langley RCMP then raided the dispen-sary, saying it was in response to “numer-ous ongoing complaints from the com-munity and area residents.”
About three months later, Supt. Cooke
released a written statement saying the marijuana sold by the dispensary had come from illegal grow-ops, a claim Caine denies.
On July 2, Caine announced that he intends to run for mayor of Langley City in the next municipal election in 2014 and that he will personally pay the filing fees for up to 20 candidates for council in a bid to “strengthen democratic prin-ciples” and improve diversity.
“We have some council members who got in with 11 per cent of the vote,” Caine says.
“Eleven per cent! How is that legiti-mate?”
He says he is not forming a new civic party. “It’s not a slate. It’s nothing like that. It’s about strengthening the demo-cratic process in this community.”

The debate pitted two different sets of horsepower fans against each other — equestrians and car racers.
It also left Metro directors in an uncomfortable position — many wanted to explore broader uses of parks and the potential revenue it could bring, but were reluc-tant to alienate regular park-goers and some found exhaust-belching motor sports an inherent conflict with regional environmental goals.
Langley Speedway Historical Society members haven’t given up all hope.
“We’re not going to flog a dead horse,” Dan Olson said. “However, in politics things can change and they can change suddenly. We will be looking for responsible oppor-tunities. I still don’t rule out, in spite of what happened here today, the return of racing one day to Campbell Valley Regional Park.”
Several directors said there’s clearly demand for a racing venue in Metro Vancouver and were hopeful a more suitable site might be found.
The proponents maintain they have considerable support and that
NASCAR or a similar racing style would do well in Metro Vancouver.
A staff report said Campbell Val-ley Regional Park contains sensi-tive ecosystems that are home to various threatened species.
That led Banman to question whether the park ought to be closed to all visitors in the name of habitat protection.
Delegations to the committee all opposed restoring the track, which last hosted races in 1984.
“Shame on you for even thinking of putting racing in the park,” said Carla Robin of the Langley Horse and Farm Federation.
Also opposed was Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities, a neigh-bouring non-profit that uses ther-apy horses to assist mainly autistic clients.
Christine Riek said noisy motor sports are unacceptable in Metro Vancouver parks and pointed to the location of the next nearest Lower Mainland racetrack.
“Agassiz Speedway is located near a cemetery, a rifle range, industrial land, a mountainside and a prison.”
The decision must still be rati-fied at the next full Metro board meeting.

DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The company building the 216 Street leg of a Langley Township water line project that was shut down by Work-Safe BC says it follows strict safety standards.
In a written statement issued Thursday, Pedre Contractors Ltd. said the company has years of experience building major pipeline projects and fol-lows procedures for working in confined spaces that exceed industry standards.
Pedre said WorkSafe has asked the company to clarify
its procedures.“They’ve requested clarity
and we are in the process of responding to their request.”
The Pedre statement said it was not a company represen-tative who told WorkSafe that adding more hatches to the pipeline project (as WorkSafe has proposed) might breach the warranty, nor did the com-pany say adding hatches could cause a risk of bacterial con-tamination in the water pipe.
The company did warn chang-ing the design of the pipe would mean construction delays, the Pedre statement said.
Work on the pipeline was
halted by the provincial work-place safety regulator on June 21.
Township water resources and environment manager Kevin Larsen told The Times the design of the pipeline fol-lowed “past industry practice” for design and construction.
The 14 kilometre-long East Langley Water Supply proj-ect is the biggest project ever undertaken by the Township of Langley’s engineering depart-ment.
Work started May 1 and is scheduled to run Monday to Friday until December of this year.

Suspect works way through courtMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter
A man believed to be respon-sible for a six-day crime spree, robbing Subways and other food outlets throughout Lang-ley, is working his way through the court system.
Edward Joseph Biwer, 23, from Surrey, made an appear-ance in Surrey Provincial Court on Thursday, charged with nine counts each of robbery, assault with a weapon and disguise with intent.
A woman, aged 31, and also
from Surrey, is suspected of being the driver in all nine rob-beries and was also charged but not named by police.
From Feb. 2 through 8, nine robberies took place at Edi-ble Arrangements, and various Subways and pizza establish-ments, with three being com-mitted in a single day.
The suspect wore a ban-dana, a baseball cap and a hoodie and used bear spray as his weapon in many robber-ies, said then-Langley RCMP Insp. Amrik Virk, who at the time announced the arrest at a
press conference at the Lang-ley detachment.
In one of the robberies, only $15 was taken. However, the suspect made off with as much as $400 in one instance.
On four occasions, the sus-pect used pepper spray as he exited.
Using surveillance, a vehicle was located after a pizza place was robbed and followed to the Esso gas station at 72 Avenue and 200 Street, where it stopped.
Police approached the vehi-cle and arrested a man and woman without incident.

The debate pitted two different sets of horsepower fans against each other — equestrians and car racers.
It also left Metro directors in an uncomfortable position — many wanted to explore broader uses of parks and the potential revenue it could bring, but were reluc-tant to alienate regular park-goers and some found exhaust-belching motor sports an inherent conflict with regional environmental goals.
Langley Speedway Historical Society members haven’t given up all hope.
“We’re not going to flog a dead horse,” Dan Olson said. “However, in politics things can change and they can change suddenly. We will be looking for responsible oppor-tunities. I still don’t rule out, in spite of what happened here today, the return of racing one day to Campbell Valley Regional Park.”
Several directors said there’s clearly demand for a racing venue in Metro Vancouver and were hopeful a more suitable site might be found.
The proponents maintain they have considerable support and that
NASCAR or a similar racing style would do well in Metro Vancouver.
A staff report said Campbell Val-ley Regional Park contains sensi-tive ecosystems that are home to various threatened species.
That led Banman to question whether the park ought to be closed to all visitors in the name of habitat protection.
Delegations to the committee all opposed restoring the track, which last hosted races in 1984.
“Shame on you for even thinking of putting racing in the park,” said Carla Robin of the Langley Horse and Farm Federation.
Also opposed was Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities, a neigh-bouring non-profit that uses ther-apy horses to assist mainly autistic clients.
Christine Riek said noisy motor sports are unacceptable in Metro Vancouver parks and pointed to the location of the next nearest Lower Mainland racetrack.
“Agassiz Speedway is located near a cemetery, a rifle range, industrial land, a mountainside and a prison.”
The decision must still be rati-fied at the next full Metro board meeting.

WE SAY
These werespecialGames
The Special Olympics B.C. Summer Games, held in Langley on Friday and Saturday, were special.
The games attracted 1,100 athletes from all across the province, ranging from teens to senior citizens. They compete in a wide variety of sports, and the one common denominator is that they give it their all, no matter what the sport, their age or any physical challenge.
As has happened so often at large events in Langley, there were a huge number of volunteers to make the event a success — 1,200 of them in all. As a result of their hard work and the great efforts by the organizing committee, things went very smoothly.
One concern was the fact that McLeod Athletic Park, where two of the sports events were held, is less accessible as a result of the ongoing closure of 216 Street. The Township deserves credit for putting up portable signs at the 232 Street exit from Highway 1, directing people bound for the games along the correct detour routes.
Many of the events were held at Langley Events Centre, which again proved it is very capable of hosting large events and lots of people. The Events Centre is a true gem which has already put Langley on the map in ways that could never have happened otherwise, and its worth was again proven this past weekend.
For some reason, Special Olympics causes people to volunteer with even more enthusiasm than they show at other events. It may be that the athletes themselves are so enthusiastic and open-hearted, but whatever the reason, the commitment from volunteers on Friday and Saturday, and for a long time beforehand during the planning process, was outstanding.
Hosting events of this type requires a lot of hard work and dedication, and the volunteers who were involved in organizing it, along with those who were on the ground during the event, deserve our thanks. They have once again helped to give Langley a good name for hosting large events.
The co-operation of various levels of government is also appreciated, and any extra expense that was incurred will be made up by increased economic activity, Langley’s enhanced reputation for staging events and, most of all, by the smiles of the very special athletes who were here in our community over the weekend.
THEY SAY
Overdue recognition
We were heartened recently upon hearing Canadian veterans of the Korean War
were finally to be recognized with their own day of remembrance.
The Year of the Korean War Veteran was proclaimed by the federal government in January of this year, to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the armistice signed in 1953.
But the enactment of a special day, July 27, to be marked in perpetuity to honour the sacrifices and efforts of Canadian soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, has more long-term significance.
In all, 516 Canadians died and another 1,558 were wounded in the three-year conflict, a battle between the Soviet and China-supported north, and the south Koreans, supported by the United Nations, some of the member countries of which waged war against the Nazis just a handful of years previous.
Stories retold by local Korea vets of surviving family members receiving little in the way of acknowledgement of their sons and daughters’ sacrifices from the Canadian government were both shocking and embarrassing.
Media of the day largely ignored the conflict, to the point where many Canadians back home didn’t realize their country was playing a combat role in the war-torn region.
Luckily, things have changed in 50 years, including the treatment of veterans and the value we place on their role in maintaining peace and reducing chaos in the world.
Most wars in which Canada has been involved have aimed to achieve a political end for the greater good. The people on the front lines working to accomplish that aim — some of whom paid the ultimate price — deserve to be recognized for their efforts, which in the vast majority of cases are honest, true and patriotic.
Regardless how one feels about war, the Canadians who have fought them have, at the end of the day, worked to protect the rights and freedoms we should never take for granted.
For that, they deserve our thanks.—Victoria News
Six suggestions for rail safetyPublic must have confidence in rail transportation
It’s been just over a week since a horrific tragedy struck the quiet and peaceful town
of Lac Megantic, Quebec and changed the lives of most of its residents.
An unmanned train, consisting of five locomotives and 72 tank cars filled with crude oil, ran 12 kilometres down a 1.2 per cent grade and then derailed in the midst of town. It happened at 1 a.m. on Saturday, July 6. Within minutes, there was a massive fireball and 40 buildings and as many as 50 people were gone.
The news coverage of this has been intense, and with good reason. As bad as the Alberta flooding was, and as important as events in Egypt are for the wellbeing of the middle east, this catastrophe struck at the heart of our country. Transportation, oil, railways and communities are all part of the package. There are few places in Canada where all four of these do not intersect.
In some remote communities, and in New-foundland and Prince Edward Island, there are no railways. But all communities rely on fuel, with petroleum products the most important one. And all communities require transportation to deliver fuel — and in most cases, to power the transportation.
I’ve had a longstanding interest in trans-portation and in my working past, worked closely with railroad employees for several years. While I’m not an expert, I’d like to make six suggestions about what I believe must change as a result of this tragedy.
First, railroads must closely and rigorously follow safety procedures. That includes hav-
ing at least two crew members aboard moving trains. Trains that are sitting in sidings for extended periods must have brakes prop-erly applied — both air brakes and hand brakes.
Second, any train that contains explosive and/or hazardous goods must not remain unattended for more than a few min-utes. If it is sitting for hours, waiting for a crew change or delayed due to disruptions on the line ahead of it, there must be someone from the rail company aboard — in the cab. That person must know how to apply brakes.
Third, no train should be parked on the crest of a hill without devices such as a derailer on the track directly in front of it. Had this train derailed as soon as the brakes failed, there would have been minimal dam-age and almost certainly no oil spills, let alone an explosion.
Fourth, residents of local communities and municipal officials must know the entire range of goods transported on trains through their communities. Railroads must stop being so secretive about what they are carry-ing. They operate through our communities because they’ve been here for a long time, and they generally do a good job. They must not forget the importance of goodwill. Com-munities deserve both trust and open com-munication.
By the way, crude oil in a tank car will have a placard with the number 1267 on each car. All dangerous goods, whether in trucks or rail cars, must be placarded.

‘No smoking’ rule at hospital needs to be properly enforced
Neighbours’ pot smoke drives tenants outEditor: I need help.I live in Langley City, in a top-floor
apartment. My new neighbours are chronic pot smokers. My suite is con-stantly filled with marijuana smoke. The smoke is so bad I will have to remove my five-year-old daughter from the suite.
I called the police and they told me
this: They can’t do a damn thing if they are doing it in their suite. Yet offi-cials tell tobacco smokers they will be fined if they smoke inside buildings, or near doorways?
This downtown area is a slum, because no one wants to infringe on the criminals’ rights. We are the last of
the decent law-abiding tenants in this building, and I will be looking else-where to call home.
I can’t stand to see known drug dealers and crackheads taking over this beautiful building.

Editor: My husband has been in Langley Memorial Hospital for three weeks now. In the last couple of days, they have been able to put him in a wheelchair so that I could take him outside for some fresh air.
We were under the impression that there was no smoking allowed around or near the hospital, but found out dif-ferently when we found a space that we wanted to sit in outside, and four patients came along and were about to light up right by us.
I asked one of them not to smoke around us and he got somewhat lippy, but moved on. However, his other comrades (one in a wheelchair) were agitated that I dared to tell them they
could not smoke in that area.The sign was right there on the wall,
saying: No Smoking,” but Mr. Mouth insisted that it said they could smoke there. I guess he didn’t do so well in reading and writing in school.
My peeve is that when you go to the hospital for health reasons you should not be allowed to smoke, no matter what. I want to know why this is not being enforced at the hospital, and why those of us who don’t smoke must walk through this stink they are making.
Perhaps B.C. Medical should refuse to pay any costs incurred for their care at hospitals if they insist on smoking. After all, smokers are costing taxpayers
extra money, due to prolonged stays in the hospital from inhaling toxic mate-rials in cigarettes.
These patients continued to harass us until we found it necessary to leave the area we were in. I informed the nurse in charge of my husband’s care and she told me I should have called for security — but where do you do that?
I will pursue this matter until such time as all hospitals put a full ban on patients bringing cigarettes to the hos-pital and thinking it is their right to smoke if they wish. They are costing taxpayers unnecessary expense, due to their ignorance and disobedience of the “no smoking” laws.

Editor: I moved to this Willoughby area of Langley, near 208 Street north of 64 Avenue, in 2007. I read in your newspaper that no one showed up to the Township council public hearing regarding new development proposed for 208 Street, north of 72 Avenue. We paid no attention either.
That said, I am not sure that we or other members of the public knew what
impact this would have. That was then, this is now. There have been 1,600 units built, and people are moving in.
The corridor north of Costco has become insane with traffic. Except for Save-On Foods, Walnut Grove has no big box stores like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, the signature liquor store and Costco. Guess where everyone goes?
Because of inefficient transit, every-
one owns a car in Langley. Multiply 1,600 units by at least three cars each, and you come up with a number that cannot possibly be sustained by the current road systems.
Should people have shown up to the public hearing in 2007? Probably. My question is, what do we do now?
Clayton Randle, Langley
Editor: I never thought that your edito-rial writer in the “We Say” editorial pub-lished on Thursday, July 4 would confuse the Legislative Building in Victoria with the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.
Bill Nicholson,Langley
Editor: The Langley Speedway issue deserves another look.
I have to say I am a little surprised at the sense of entitlement exhibited by Langley’s horse enthusiasts. My gosh, you’d think we were debating daily round-the-clock auto racing right in the actual equestrian park.
The Langley Speedway existed success-fully long before there were any horses in Campbell Valley Park. Let’s also not forget that Langley hosts one of the largest clas-sic and custom car events on the entire continent, the positive economic impact of which is felt by every resident of Langley (The Langley Good Times Cruise-In.)
Just look at the number of auto repair and customizing shops all over the city. I’ll bet the collective dollar value of that indus-try far outweighs the local horse industry.
The horsey snobs should think about that when they are turning up their noses at a few car races in what used to be — and could once again be — a great racing facility.
Auto enthusiasts pay taxes, too, and are just as entitled to the use of Campbell Val-ley Park and the Langley Speedway oval as anyone else, providing the impact on the local flora and fauna is minimized and con-trolled.
That’s not rocket science, people. Greater challenges have been overcome by lesser means.
So let’s be positive about this awesome historical event which used to be a big part of Langley’s culture. Long live the Langley Speedway.

KEEP EARPLUGS INEditor: The Tuesday, July 9 edition of
The Times had two great letters from writ-ers who spoke truthfully and told it like it is. We know we are being sold out to development constantly in both Langleys.
As a further comment to the one by Councillor Charlie Fox in his July 2 letter to The Times, where he says “Township coun-cil is creating more farmland,” for what? For more blueberry farms? I believe most of us think there are too many of these at pres-ent.
Enough is enough. Trains, planes, devel-opment and blueberry cannons — where is the peace and quiet we all crave at the end of the day?
Have a nice summer, with your earplugs in.
S. Smith,Murrayville
IT’S LEGISLATIVE BUILDING
LOOK AT ECONOMICS
Township can’t sustain this type of growth
Langley City spending priorities questionedEditor: Why does Langley City
council continue to spend so much money for the benefit of so few peo-ple? The first example I can provide is the bike park at 48 Avenue and 200 Street.
Over half a million dollars was spent
on a park that is rarely used. You can drive by any summer day and only see four or five kids using it.
Now the City is spending $2 million on McBurney Lane. This also will be for the benefit of very few people.
Most Langley City taxpayers will
either never see the improvements or never utilize them. Why doesn’t coun-cil spend money which will benefit all taxpayers — like repairing disgusting roads which are full of potholes?
Glenn Campbell,Langley
Editor: A shout out of thanks to the organizers, volunteers, Al Anderson Memorial Pool staff, police, Langley City recreation department and coun-cil for successfully putting on another edition of the Langley Tri-it Triathlon
on June 23.This is a great event for families and
individuals to get out and enjoy the sport of triathlon in a safe, small-scale and less intimidating environment. It is always great to see the enthusiasm
of the kids (and their parents) as they navigate the course. Sponsors help out with draw prizes, but the biggest thanks has to go to the organizers and volunteers. Keep it up.

letters
On Thursday evening, while cycling near Fort Langley, I noticed a CN train which was hauling at least 30 cars of crude oil.
The placards for two other well-known commodities, both of which are highly explosive, are 1203 for gaso-line and 1075 for propane.
Fifth, the federal govern-ment needs to look closely into what type of tank cars are transporting crude oil, and other dangerous goods. The DOT-111 or CTC-111A type car is not sufficient.
Sixth, the federal govern-ment needs to make money available to relocate some rail lines away from the centre of
communities — particularly in the case of lines that are hauling large amounts of dan-gerous goods. Alternatively, the government must ensure there are funds available for track and signal upgrades, so that the tracks are as safe as possible. Government inspec-tors must do regular checks of track conditions.
In Langley, dangerous goods are transported through Langley City and Fort Langley by rail every day — indeed, almost every hour. Firefighters say they are ready for a major spill or accident — but are other members of the com-munity ready? As seen in Lac Megantic, nothing could have prepared people there for what happened.
Rail transportation is a safe and efficient way to move goods. It is the “greenest” of all major modes of transporta-tion, other than pipelines, and pipelines can only move cer-tain types of goods.
A healthy rail sector is good for the Canadian economy, but people in communities bisected by rail lines deserve to know that trains on those lines are being operated with the maximum of safe proce-dures.
Safety first doesn’t just apply to working railroaders. It applies to all of us who come into contact with trains on a regular basis. In Langley, given the volume of trains in busy areas, that’s virtually the entire community.

How prepared are we for a disaster?
Editor: Nine years ago, Arne Olson said to a num-ber of us in the community: “We’re going to have a Lang-ley Relay for Life,” and he was right.
I’ve had the privilege of being a part of the organiz-ing committee since then, and chair for the past six years. The Langleys embraced Relay for Life from the beginning, and thanks to that amazing support, we quickly became one of the top three in B.C.
It’s a “family pyjama party” with so many families involved in an overnight, 12-hour adventure of “Cel-ebrating, Remembering and Fighting Back.”
It’s especially rewarding to see the number of stu-dents who participate, which is somewhat unique to our Relay. That was exempli-
fied by the fundraising achievement of young Malcolm Shields this year, which was nothing short of phe-nomenal.
Over the past nine years, Langley Relay has raised well over $3 million to aid in the Canadian Cancer Society’s “cancer battle,” and the fight will continue.
The feedback from our par-ticipants this year was very positive and I’m sure next year will be even better.
That said, every annual event needs new energy and new ideas to stay fresh and continue to be successful, and in that regard the organizing committee is always welcom-
ing new members.One thing my many years
in music taught me is that it’s important to know when to get off the stage.
It’s now with some sadness and regret that I’m going to step back and let that hap-pen. I’ve had the joy and satisfaction of working with so many incredible and dedi-cated people in my nine years with Relay, and I’ll treasure those memories and experi-ences always. Langley Relay is very important, not only as a fundraiser but as an event that’s come to represent the caring and generous spirit that makes our community so very special.
Thanks for letting me be a part of it, Langley. It’s been “Really, Relay Great.”

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter
A 16-year-old Langley boy is being credited for doing all the right things and saving the life of his little brother, after a fire quickly erupted at their South Langley home on Wednesday morning.
“It’s amazing no one per-ished in this fire,” said Town-ship assistant fire chief Pat Walker, about the blaze in the 20600 block of 20 Avenue.
Around 11 a.m., two teen boys, ages 16 and 14, were still sound asleep on a lazy summer day. The eldest woke to the smoke alarm going off. He saw smoke and flames crawling up the side of the house.
He quickly woke his sleep-ing brother, and both of them ran outside in the clothes they had slept in.
The 14-year-old had not heard the alarm at all, said Walker.
At that same time, the ten-ant downstairs also heard the
smoke alarm and saw the sil-houette of fire at her door.
“She said she grabbed her cellphone and purse and by the time she was running out, the flames were right behind her,” said Walker.
Neighbours had just come back from a run when they saw smoke and heard pop-ping sounds coming from the house. They went over to see
the teens and tenant were safe from the fire which quickly overtook the two-storey house.
“When we arrived the fire was so intense,” said Walker. “We had a terrible time battling this fire.”
The house is a total loss. The fire started in the outside carport, but because of the intensity, it will be hard to find its starting point.
‘It’s amazing no one perished’
Contributed photoA home in the 20600 block of 20 Avenue was destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning.
Located on 200th Street and Langley Bypass (Hwy #10) & Willowbrook Dr.

Summertime and the living is easy – however, that’s not always the case for our furry friends. As the weather heats up, pets begin to face an increased number of risks to their safety and well being.
Dr. Renee Ferguson, the owner of Mountain View Veterinary Hospital in Langley, shares her tips on how to protect your pets during the warmer months from a myriad of summer-related hazards.
Keep your pets coolWhen the weather gets warm, our pets
can have a tough time staying cool. With a few common-sense tips, your pet will stay safe, happy and healthy.
Never leave your pet in a vehicle, even for a short time, in warm weather. In the summer, the car’s interior can quickly rise to over 150°F/65°C, and your pet’s body temperature may rise to 110°F/43°C.
Good ventilation is vital. Animals cool themselves by panting, which becomes more diffi cult in extreme heat or humidity. Try and keep your house cool. Also consider leaving a fan running during times when you are not at home.
Put out extra water bowls and if you have cats, be sure to use large diameter bowls because they don’t like their whiskers to touch the edge.
Short-nosed dog breeds (e.g., English
Bulldog, Pekingese, Pug), have an even harder time in hot weather, so be cautious.
Take your daily walks during cooler times of day (early morning & late evening) and be extra careful with your older dogs and cats.
Extra caution with picnic and food items
Summer is a great time for barbecues, fresh fruit and fantastic salads. These tasty delights are not only tempting for us, but for our pets too.
Food items that could potentially be dangerous to animals include grapes, peach pits, cherry pits, onions, chocolate (bakers, semi sweet, milk, dark), alcoholic beverages, yeast dough, coffee (grounds & beans), hops (used in home beer brewing), tomato leaves and stems, potato leaves and stems, rhubarb leaves, and avocados (toxic to birds, mice, rabbits, horses, cattle, and dairy goats).
Barbecue left overs are particularly tantalizing for dogs. Corn on the cob
and bones are a common hazard and can often result in surgical removal.
Leaving food in the heat can cause spoilage and pets can become very ill if they sneak a snack. Don’t leave food out too long before or after the meal.
Travel smart We all love to travel and spend time with
our pets. There are a few things to remember

ADVERTORIAL
BUSINESS PROFILE
when traveling with your pets to ensure their safety:
Ideally, put your pets in well-ventilated pet carriers. Cats and dogs can get nervous in cars, and could interfere with the driver or jump out when you open a door.
Make sure that your dog or cat are always contained in the cab of the car or truck. Carriers are ideal, but dogs can even be trained to use a dog seat belt. Pets should never ride in the back of open-bed pickup trucks. Besides the risk of injury from a fall from the vehicle, the pet could be killed in traffi c.
If you stop for a bathroom break or to stretch your legs, let your pets have a break too. But again, never leave them in a car during warm weather for any length of time.
Be sure to pack your pets medications and look up the local pet emergency clinics in the area that you are traveling to, and along your route.
Always take extra water for your pets.If you’re not sure about traveling with your
pet, I’ve often found that it’s better to fi nd a pet sitter or good boarding facility. Both you and your pets will be less stressed.
Appropriate parasite prevention
More outdoor activity means a greater risk for your pets getting parasites.
Before buying a fl ea product, read all of the information on the label. Follow the directions closely, and if the product is for use only on dogs, it should never be used on other pets (unfortunately, cats can die from having some dog fl ea products used on them).
Internal parasites are also more common in the summer. Pets can pick up parasites many ways including worms entering the body (e.g. migrating through the pads of their feet), self-grooming, heartworm from mosquito bites, and getting diseases spread by ticks. Make sure the parasite prevention program you choose matches your pet and family lifestyle (children in the family, very social pets, outdoorsy dogs, travels, etc.).
Just Ask Your VetYour local veterinarian is there to help
and we believe that prevention is the best medicine. If you have any questions, just give us a call or send us an email and we will be happy to help.

There will be pig races, pony rides and a petting zoo.
And those are just the animal attrac-tions.
The Carnival for the Cure at Milner Village Garden Centre on Saturday, July 20, promises a whole lot of old-fashioned fun in support of an impor-tant cause.
The event, which will feature carnival rides — including the always-popular
Ferris wheel — and games, is a fund-raiser for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
As the mercury climbs, visitors can cool off with a splash in the dunk tank (or help somebody else take a refresh-ing dip).
Visitors are invited to grab some ket-tle corn and cotton candy or perhaps sample the results of the bake-off.
There will be live music and a
bouncy castle, too.Carnival for the Cure runs from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. at the garden centre, located at 6690 216 St.
Due to ongoing construction along 216 Street, south of Milner, the best way to get to the fair is by turning east onto 216 Street from Glover Rd. at the signalized intersection next to the Husky gas station, or from the east via 64 Avenue and 216 Street.
This weekend will mark the 101st year the Aldergrove Fair Days and Country Carnival has been staged, and luckily not much has changed about the hugely popular down-home com-munity event.
All the favourites are back — includ-ing the tractor pull, fast draw, lawn-mower races and chili cook-off.
On the third weekend in July, the Aldergrove Fair Days Society, along with community partners like the Aldergrove Agricultural Association, hosts its annual three-day festival at the fairgrounds, located on the north fields of the Aldergrove Athletic Park near Kinsmen Community Centre on 29 Avenue, between 264 and 272 Streets.
Visitors can see the 4-H animals and come out to the Kid Zone to meet the Reptile Guy and his friends, magi-cians, clowns and more. There will be extreme lawnmower races on the BMX track at 10 a.m. each day. There is also turkey herding.
One of the categories in the Aldergrove Agricultural Association Fair Book this year encourages people to create a tur-key out of vegetables and fruits and enter it for display and judging.
Aldergrove siblings Jae and Koen spent an afternoon creating a mas-terpiece out of pineapple, kale, apri-cot, celery, Chinese asparagus and red pepper. The theme for this year’s fair is “Turkeyfest,” in recognition of the Throssell family’s contributions to
B.C.’s turkey breeding program.The mainstage features all sorts of
musical entertainment. The Canadian Fast Draw celebrity shoot takes place at 12 p.m. Saturday, with one of the celebrities Robin Reichman of the Real Housewives of Vancouver TV show.
The fair starts Friday at 6 p.m. with a classic car show’n shine, food, music and more.
Saturday and Sunday will have fun for the entire family, with entertain-ment, rides, food, and great things to see and buy throughout each day. The fair goes from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The BC Government through the Ministry of Health in partnership with the BC
Medical Association has established the GP4Me initiative that by 2015 every person who wants a family doctor will be able to access one. But prior to that plans must be devised, fi ne-tuned and implemented. Studies and focus groups have shown there are some segments of our population who are more at risk and need to be connected to primary care fi rst. One of the identifi ed priority groups was seniors. Th e Langley Division of Family Practice (LDFP) took one of the fi rst steps in the planning process by organizing a seminar/workshop that was hosted by the Langley Seniors Resource Centre and took place on June 27, 2013.
Approximately 65 people attended an aft ernoon session called Connecting Langley’s Seniors to Primary Health Care Providers. Th e aft ernoon was facilitated by Ellen Peterson, Executive Director of the Langley Division of Family Practice and by Dr. Mitchell Fagan who is the Vice Chair of the Langley Division and a Lead physician
for the Attachment (GP4Me) Initiative.
Members of the senior community were asked to engage to share their insights into strengthening the delivery of primary health care to Langley Seniors. In the room were six General Practitioners, two Nurse
Practitioners, Fraser Health’s Older Adult Home Health, Public Health, Aboriginal Health programs Langley Mental Health’s Geriatric health providers and the Executive Directors of numerous service agencies geared to seniors. Also present were members of the Langley Seniors Task Group.
In April, the Langley Division of Family Practice (LDFP) began a process to identify population members who are at the most risk and who need ongoing seamless care but who currently are without a regular family physician. At that session various population groups were identifi ed for future planning sessions.
Th e aft ernoon began with lunch provided by the Langley Senior’s Resource Centre. Each table was given a ‘trading card’ and the participants were asked to draw their own self-
portrait. More importantly the cardswere used to identify who was at thetable and as an introduction to theirtable mates along with capturing therole of everyone in the room.
In his opening remarks Dr. Faganexplained the role of the GeneralPractice Services Committee(GPSC). A partnership between theBC Ministry of Health and the BCMedical Association was created toencourage and enhance the deliveryof full service family practice to thebenefi t of patients in our community.One of the initiatives of the GPSCis the GP4Me Program and is alsoknown as the attachment initiative.Th is program recognizes theimportance of continuous doctor-patient relationships and is aimedat improving primary care in BC.

“Langley is excited to participate in improving population health outcomes while strengthening relationships between patients and providers and ensuring sustainability of our resources for future generations.” said Dr. Fagan.
Th e GP4Me initiative will increase the capacity within the health system and enable a patient who wants a family doctor to fi nd one but it should be noted that at this time the program is focusing on those who are the sickest, most vulnerable and most in need.
Following his remarks a break out session was facilitated by doctors, Nurse Practitioners and also various community partners including Barb Stack the Executive Director of the Langley Seniors Centre. Lynda Brummitt, the coordinator for the Langley Seniors Community Action Table. Janet Burden, Executive Director of Langley Stepping Stones, Kristelle Heinrichs Geriatric Mental Health Team, Shefali Raja, Healthier Community Partnerships, and Kathleen Friesen and Sarah Metcalfe of the Older Adult Program.
In response to the presentation by the LDFP on what they heard from our physician members regarding attaching seniors to family practice questions addressed in the breakout session were: ‘What’s missing in our community to bridge the gaps? What did the participants not agree with? What is most important? Where are the opportunities and how do you see yourself as part of the change?
Th e outcome of the breakout sessions were numerous plans and suggestions. It was pointed out that some resources already exist in our community. Janice McTaggart, Director of Outreach and Volunteer Services for the Langley Seniors Resource Centre was quick to point out that the Langley Seniors Resource Centre is already a hub for information and resources. “If you’re looking for a one stop shop for information, you are sitting in it.” she said, referring the Langley Seniors Resource Centre.
Annaliese Hasler, a Nurse Practitioner who works with seniors in our community indicated that “seniors’ health care is not just about creating a place to go; it’s about connecting people to primary care providers through compassion, while preserving their dignity and voice.” Th is was echoed by Malcolm Robertson one of the seniors in attendance who shared the emotional story of his wife’s recent experience in care.
Th e conversations from the breakout sessions were visually interpreted by Lisa Edwards a talented graphic recorder from Get Th e Picture.
Th e aft ernoon wrapped up at 4:00 p.m. with a call for all participants to remain engaged in this important discussion. Asked if the purpose of the meeting was met, Ellen said: “Yes I believe it was. I loved that seniors attended and were given a voice. Th ere is an interest in doing things diff erently, a diff erent approach to care. Lots of great opportunities have come out of today.”

do lots of fun things like playing in parties or jamming with friends. Playing in church for example (where you had to learn new songs often) became easy!

Think of it as your chance to show some motherly love.
The Art of Motherhood exhibit — a show of original artwork on the subject
of pregnancy, birth and the relationships that form between mother and child — drew to a close earlier this month at Langley Centennial Museum.
But the paintings, drawings and sculptures that have been on display in the gallery in Fort Langley since early May won’t be relegated to a shelf in a storage room somewhere to gather dust until their next appearance. Nor are they being returned to the artists who created them.
Instead, the pieces will be auctioned off during a garden party at the museum this Saturday (July 20). The sale is a fundraiser for the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s “It All Starts Here” campaign which is raising money for a new and expanded maternity ward.
During the months of May and June the Museum and the LMH Foundation collaborated on the unique display, which grew out of plans to mount an exhibit of artwork on the broader theme of healthcare’s roots in the community.
That show, From Bedpans to Bandages: The History of Medicine in Langley, runs from July 16 to Sept. 8.
The Art of Motherhood exhibit featured 58 works of art in various mediums, including sculpture, paint, mixed media, and drawing, by local and provincial artists, all of whom agreed to donate between 50 and 100 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of their works back to the foundation.
Through the exhibit, the museum and foundation celebrated motherhood through art in order to raise awareness and funds for The Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Centre at Langley Memorial Hospital.
“We saw this show of motherhood-inspired art as the perfect opportunity to raise funds for the ongoing campaign to expand the Maternity Centre,” said the Museum’s cultural services manager, Peter Tulumello.
“LMH was built 65 years ago and has natal facilities that have not kept pace with the birthrate,” said Errin Young of the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation.
Langley has one of busiest maternity units in the region, with approximately 1,800 births per year and the number of births here is expected to increase to more than 2,300 by 2020, said Young.
The number of births at Langley Memorial Hospital has increased from 85 per year in 1948 (when LMH opened) to 1,800 per year in 2010. But in that time, the number of beds has only increased by two — from 11 to 13.
Under the theme “It All Starts Here,” the Foundation started a capital campaign to raise $5.35 million for a long-overdue expansion to LMH’s maternity unit and clinic, so it can continue to give the newest members of the community the best possible start in life.
More than $3 million has been raised to date.The live auction will take place in conjunction
with the opening of the Bedpans to Bandages exhibit.
The July 20 event’s Auctioneer is Ken Passmore, a veteran of the local auction circuit.
“Ken is an outstanding and well known auctioneer,” said Tulumello, “and is bound to entertain our audience and encourage bidders to be generous in support of the new Maternity Centre.”
For more information, for an auction catalogue, or to place an advance bid, please contact the Langley Centennial Museum at 604-532-3536.

They are encouraged to explore their creativity and have fun. Completed works must be submitted to the local Opus by Wednesday July 31.
In Langley, Opus is located in the Langley Mall, 95-5501 204 St.
WRITERS SURFACELangley writers Jim McGregor and
Natasha Jones have added another venue for their meet-the-authors book signing events for their first jointly-written novel, Surfacing.

BRENDA ANDERSONTimes Reporter
The village of Fort Langley is once again dabbling in the arts.
The second annual Fort Langley Celebration of the Arts is happening throughout the community, from Aug. 2-4, with a pair of new venues being included to help showcase a growing number of live performances and chil-dren’s activities.
From music to visual arts and poetry, the summertime celebration, founded last year by Fort Langley resident David James, will once again include a wide range of artistic genres.
And while this year’s celebration comes a week later than July 2012’s inaugural two-day event, it will last one extra day, as James prepares to offer his hometown a full weekend’s “brush with the arts.”
Local flamenco guitarist John Gilliat will kick things off Friday, as the cel-ebration opens with Village Evening at 7 p.m. in the Fort Langley Community Hall.
Day 2 begins with children’s activities
– drumming, beading, arts and crafts – presented by Kwantlen First Nation members at the Bedford Landing plaza at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
At 2:30 p.m. writer-poet Kate Braid and Toronto-based jazz pianist and composer Amanda Tosoff will present An Afternoon of Poetry and Music at the Langley Centennial Museum.
And capping off the day’s perfor-mances, at 8 p.m. dancers are invited to hit the floor as the Willie MacCalder Band – featuring one of Canada’s finest blues pianists – takes the stage at the Fort Langley Community Hall.
Sunday’s first concert – a perfor-mance by Marcel and Elizabeth Berg-mann, the Bergmann Piano Duo –begins at 11 a.m. in the Fort Langley Community Hall.
From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. artists will paint en plein air on the lawn outside the hall.
Meanwhile, at 2:30 p.m. the show moves down the road to St. George’s Church, at 9160 Church St., where pia-nist Elizabeth Bergmann will be joined by cellists Ian Hampton Joel Stobbe for A Baroque Afternoon.
At 6 p.m. it will be Marcel Berg-mann’s turn, as he joins forces with Tosoff for Jazz Time at the Fort Langley Community Hall.
The weekend’s celebration of the arts closes at 9 p.m. with Plaza Luminary Evening, featuring a performance by Blackfish – a drumming and dancing group made up of members of the
Sto:lo First Nation, including Kwantlen band members – at the Bedford Land-ing Plaza.
After organizing a similar event – the Fort Langley Festival of the Performing Arts – back in the 1980s, James had been toying with the idea of starting another, similar festival before get-ting his Celebration of the Arts off the ground last year.
“The experience years ago gave me a positive image of what could be done,” he said prior to the inaugural event.
Inspired by several lines of poetry by W.B. Yeats, James set about draw-ing together all the arts and recovering their ancient association.
“By bringing together these elements of our community, along with the range of venues, we help facilitate the estab-lishment of our village as a vibrant performance area,” said James.
“So join us as we celebrate a range of creative talent in a beautiful and his-toric village setting.”
Admission to children’s events, the plein air painting session and the clos-ing ceremony are offered at no charge, the Afternoon of Poetry and Music is by donation and tickets to the concert events are $15 each.
Multi event passes are available for $60.
All tickets and passes can be pur-chased at Bob’s Growcery, 9044 Glover Rd., Wendel’s Bookstore and Café, 9233 Glover Rd. and the tourist information booth, 9167 Glover Rd.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.
Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.
The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.
Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.

In her new exhibit “Psalms”, now on display at the Fort Gallery, Langley artist Lucy Adams uses paint to put her reactions down on canvas.
After a trip to Israel last fall, Lucy felt that it was time to develop a theme she had consid-ered for some time.
“The wonderful poetry of the Psalms has long captivated my imagination” said Adams. She decided that she would try to create a series of paintings that would express some of her reaction to this ancient literature.
With her show date looming, Lucy initially felt overwhelmed by the prospect of taking on the project, and wondered where and how to begin. However, knowing that she had to start somewhere, she simply put brush to canvas and almost immediately, the ideas poured in. She completed the basics of the first four paintings within a week.
“The challenge was to put visual language to the multilayered ideas expressed in the poetry” said Adams.
“The show is now hung in such a way as to highlight the notion that the Psalms are very much alive — living — not static, even today, some 3,000 years after they were written.”
Feeling that she’s made only the tiniest scratch at the potential of the project, she now looks back with satisfaction.
“I loved every minute of creating these works,
and I am already eager to continue developing this theme further,” she said.
Adams will be at the gallery on each week-end, during the run of the exhibition.
The show will run from July 10 to 28 at the Fort Gallery, 9048 Glover Rd., Fort Langley. The opening reception will be held on Friday, July 12, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The Gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday, from noon, to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.fortgallery.ca.

Adam Marshall won’t have to go far to continue both his track and field exploits and his education.
Marshall, who graduated from Brookswood Secondary last month, will join Trinity Western University, where he will also run track and cross-country.
At the B.C. high school track and field championships in June, Marshall capped off his high school career with the gold medal in the 2000m steeplechase.
“Adam rounded out his high school track career remarkably well, and with his 2000m steeplechase win at the high school championships, we knew many universities were in the running to attract him,” said TWU coach Laurier Primeau.
“We were fortunate he chose to stay local and continue his athletic career with the coach (TWU endurance director Mark Bomba) who has worked with him for the past two seasons. Adam already knows his TWU training partners, which will make the transition to university
that much smoother. Mark and I both feel Adam will be a prominent figure in the CIS over the next five years.”
Most recently, it was Marshall’s effort in the steeplechase that created a buzz in the track and field community as he posted a personal best time of 6:08.77 en route to his gold medal, which smashed his previous best of 6:25.00. Along with his steeplechase performance, he also finished fourth in the 800m at the provincial championships with a time of 1:56.35.
Beyond his steeplechase success, Marshall also brings with him personal best times of 3:58.49 in the 1500m, 1:55.57 in the 800m and 51.49 in the 400m. He leaves Brookswood as the school record-holder in the 800m, 1500m, 3000m and 2000m steeplechase and was also named his school’s Athlete of the Year in 2012 and 2013.
At the club level, Marshall largely trained under the guidance of Dwayne Lotnick with the Langley Mustangs.
Marshall plans to study pre-engineering at TWU.

Big League title earlier this month in North Vancouver.
The four are from the Langley Baseball Association.
Two other local players — Walnut Grove’s Shane Younker and Tanner Smith — are also on the squad.
The Chiefs are representing Team
B.C. at the Big League Canadian national championships, which began over the weekend and run until Saturday (July 20).
B.C. lost their first game, 12-2 to the host squad but bounced back with a 7-6 win over Quebec. They are back in action today (Tuesday).

The Langley Junior Thunder are through to round two.
The Thunder scored a decisive 13-2 victory on Friday (July 12) at the Poco Rec Centre over the Port Coquitlam Saints in game two to win their best-of-three B.C. Junior Lacrosse League quarter-final series 2-0 (see below).
Langley won the first game 14-10.
It sets up a best-of-five semifinal series against second-seed New Westminster, which begins tonight (Tuesday) at Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster. Game two is Thursday at the Langley Events Centre at 8 p.m.
The other semifinal pits top-seed Coquitlam against No. 4 Victoria.
Langley was the third seed following a regular season which saw them go 14-7.
“I thought we had a pretty legitimate shot to make top two, but we ran into some pretty serious injury trouble about three quarters of the way through the season and weren’t quite able to get over the hump against Coquitlam or New West,” said Thunder coach Jake Elliott.
“But I think we are right where we want to be now and very close to being 100 per cent healthy and feeling pretty good about ourselves.”
The Thunder also made the league semifinals last year, before being eliminated, and Elliott says the players can build
on that.“It is just experience that you
can’t buy,” he said. “It is something that these
guys have gone through now — most of them at least — that leaves a sour taste in your mouth and makes you realize how bad you really want it.
“And probably, more importantly than anything, what it is going to take to get over the hump.”
Both Coquitlam and New Westminster had first-round byes in the quarter-finals.
The winners of the semifinal series will battle it out for the league title and will also be guaranteed spots in the Minto Cup junior A national championships, which will be held at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Arena.
Thunder through to round two
The Langley Junior Thunder rode some big offensive games to a series sweep in their best-of-three quarter-final win over the Port Coquitlam Saints.
The Thunder won game one on July 9 14-10 at the Langley Events Centre and then won 13-2 on Friday at the Poco Rec Centre to take the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League series 2-0.
In game one, Langley fell behind 2-0 just 3:14 into the game but rallied for the
14-10 victory.The Thunder led 6-3
after one period and were up 10-5 after 40 minutes. It was a 13-7 advantage with three minutes to go before the Saints scored three times in 33 seconds. But that was as close as the visitors would get.
Langley had four players with huge games on the scoresheet as both Sean Lundstrom (two goals, five assists) and Brett Dobray (three goals, four assists) had
seven-point nights while Johnny Pearson (three goals, three assists) and Reegan Comeault (one goal, five assists) had six-point efforts.
Nick Stone (one goal, two assists) Adam Will (one goal, one assist) and Brendan Mykle-Winkler (one goal, one assist) also had multi-point games. Brandon Bull scored once.
Spencer England made 25 saves for the victory.
In the second
game, Tyler Glebe made 31 saves while Comeault, Pearson and Lundstrom all notched hat tricks. Comeault also had four assists while Pearson had a pair of helpers and Lundstrom set up one goal.
The Thunder also got a big game from Dobray, who finished with five assists.
Stone (two goals, one assist), Nathan Henare (one goal) and James Rahe (one goal) rounded out the scoring.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Kathy Borgen at the tender age of 70.
Kathy is survived and missed greatly by her daughters Jaenette (Brian), Michele (Greg) and her adored grandchildren Heather, Gregory, Taylor and Devon.
Kathy worked for CIBC for 29 years and upon her retirement she spent her time travelling with friends, volunteering with the Langley Centennial Museum and the Langley Christmas Bureau and spending time with her family.
Mom will be remembered for her love of books, crossword puzzles, movies, red licorice and ginger ale. She was always quick to help a friend and loved to have fun with the ladies she met through the Red Hat Society.
We will miss her forever but take comfort in the fact that she is watching over us.
A Celebration of Kathy’s life will be held Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 1 pm at Sharon United Church at 21562 Old Yale Road, Langley BC. Tea will be served after the service.
In lieu of fl owers we request a donation in Kathy’s honour be made to the Liver Foundation of Canada.

KIRTON, Philip Ronald1927 - 2013
Philip Ronald Kirton of Arm-strong, born in Birkenhead in 1927, died in Salmon Arm on July 7, 2013. Ron is survived by his wife Gail; stepchildren: John & Kristin; shirt-tail-cousin Doug; and countless friends. If diffi culties show the kind of man, then Ron was a man in full. Through his life Ron faced success and disappointment with vigour and confi dence. He met his health problems with stoicism and courage. He treated his family and friends with fairness, love, and dignity. He will be missed. Those wishing to do so may make a memorial donation in Ron’s name to The Green Party of Canada. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s on-line obituary at:www.MyAlternatives.ca

Packard, Eleanor Beryle
1921 -2013
Passed away peacefully on July 6th in Langley Memorial Hospital after a short illness.
Eleanor was born in Kenaston, Saskatchewan in 1921. In 1929 the family moved to Langley, B.C., where she lived her entire life. After high school she attended business college and worked for many years in the offi ce of Rump And Sendall’s Chick Hatchery.
Music was one of the loves of Eleanor’s life. An accom-plished pianist, she played in bands at many local dances during the war years, as well as being the anchor for several generations of family sing-alongs and concerts. She was also an avid golfer, being one of the original members of Newlands Golf Club.
Eleanor is survived by her sister, Evelyn Cross, of Parks-ville, and two nephews, Jim Cross (Christina), of North Vancouver, and John Cross, of Parksville.
The family would like to give special thanks to Eleanor’s close friends whose loving company and support helped make her fi nal years so much more comfortable.
No service by request.

On May 25, 2013, at the 20100
block of 88th Avenue, Langley,
B.C., Peace Officer(s) of the
Langley RCMP seized, at the time
indicated, the subject property,
described as a 1997 Cadillac
Seville STS, BCL: 397NWP, VIN:
1G6KY5290VU812492, on or about
04:00 Hours.
The subject property was seized
because there was evidence that
the subject property had been
used in the commission of an
offence (or offences) under section
5(2) (Possession for purpose of
trafficking) of the Controlled Drugs
and Substances Act of Canada.
Notice is hereby given that the
subject property, CFO file Number:
2013-1652, is subject to forfeiture
under Part 3.1 of the CFA and will
be forfeited to the Government for
disposal by the Director of Civil
Forfeiture unless a notice of dispute
is filed with the Director within the
time period set out in this notice.
A notice of dispute may be filed by
a person who claims to have an
interest in all or part of the subject
property. The notice of dispute
must be filed within 60 days of the
date upon which this notice is first
published.
You may obtain the form of a notice
of dispute, which must meet the
requirements of Section 14.07
of the CFA, from the Director’s
website, accessible online at www.
pssg.gov.bc.ca/civilforfeiture. The
notice must be in writing, signed
in the presence of a lawyer or
notary public, and mailed to the
Civil Forfeiture Office, PO Box 9234
Station Provincial Government,
Victoria, B.C. V8W 9J1.
In the Matter of Part 3.1 (Administrative Forfeiture) of the Civil Forfeiture Act [SBC 2005, C. 29] the CFA
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT:
Do you own a business In Langley? Do you depend on a business in
Langley to support your lifestyle? Do you live in one of the Langleys and enjoy the benefits of the community?
If you said yes to any of these questions, then you want to circle September 7th, 2013 on your calendar. This will be your opportunity to help to promote the area with the help of hundreds of oth-er people and with the assistance and encouragement of the city council. We will host a show that day that will bring about four times as many visitors to the city as we have residents. That is the day to get out and both enjoy and promote your community to those visitors. The city will spend considerable effort and resources to assist a host of volunteers and sponsors as well as the businesses of the city to create a show that is second to none in size and value to your community.
That event is the Langley Cruise-In. While many think of this as a car show (with solid reasoning behind their conclusion, I might add) businesses in Langley need to view it as a showcase of their community. There will be about 100,000 visitors to the city that day. The downtown core will be converted to pedestri-an friendly for the day so people can walk the streets and have a first hand look at what we have to offer as a city. There will be buzz of excitement in the air, there will be eye-candy parked
along the streets to keep all ages of people agog, and there will be things to do and see on that day that will not be available to see for another year.
Do your thing to get involved in promot-ing Langley and invite some extra peo-ple to come see what we have to offer that day. The future of our area requires growth, and the electricity will be in the air anyway, so don’t let the energy of the day go to waste.
The volunteers who run the Langley Good Times Cruise-In are a wonderful
bunch. They come out to meetings starting in December and carry on right through October with the wrap up. They give of their time and energy continually. Do you know any of these people? Is there anything that you can do that may assist them? Have you resources available that could help them to organize and pull off this car-show more easily or at a lower cost? As it is a charity fund raiser, we are always on the lookout for people and companies that are willing to contribute cash or valuable services that we would otherwise need to purchase. Our mandate is to find the most cost effective way of putting on a high quality show while raising the most money possible. If you have resources or cash available to contribute, please contact us at [email protected] to let us know and we will contact you very soon.
