Catherine Morgan and her husband Doug Folka were planning to head out to a barbecue Saturday night. But when they stepped out the front door of their North Otter home, they saw a bigger barbecue than they had bargained for. Morgan and Folka’s home survived a shower of hot cinders as a brush fire raged along the Trans-Canada Highway on the edge of their rural property. Quick action by their friends and neighbours, and by the Langley Township firefighters, prevented the loss of their home and possessions, the couple said. Folka said Morgan emerged from their home and swore at the sight that greeted her at around 4:15 p.m. A sizeable tree burst into flames as they watched. “It just went poof, it exploded,” Folka told the Langley dvance. “And it was scarier than hell.” “A little too close for our liking,” was how Morgan described the conflagration. The fire spread along the north side of the freeway, starting from just east of the 248th Street overpass, and jumping to start a new blaze as the wind carried embers. The fire raged as far as 256th Street – almost a mile away. Firefighters rushed virtually every available piece of equipment out to extinguish the blazes, while dozens of drivers called in to report the fire from their cellphones. There were 50 firefighters and every available pumping truck – except one – said assistant Langley Township chief Bruce Ferguson. Surrey firefighters stepped up to man the Murrayville firehall in case a second emergency hit. Folka said he called 911 immediately after seeing the fire, and the 30 seconds he waited for an operator seemed like four hours. When he was told the fire had already been reported, he went in search of workers at a tree nursery that surrounds his own land. At the advice of the firefighters who turned up soon after, he turned on his neighbour’s irrigation system and sprinklers. Area residents alerted by the

Aldergrove residents will have a new cycling venue soon. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Cycling enthusiasts of all ages will have a new destination in Aldergrove, as work began this week on a new bike park. Heath MacKenzie, an Aldergrove bike shop owner and one of the local volunteers who has helped push the park from concept to reality, is looking forward to trying out the facility when it opens in September. “And my five year old and my three year old are too,” MacKenzie said. The Aldergrove Bike Park is one of the last pieces of the Aldergrove Athletic Park, and it’s intended to appeal to just about every variety of off-road cycling enthusiast, of any skill level. The park includes four main areas. One is a BMX-influenced area, suitable for jumps. Instead of just a series of hills, some of the jumps are lopsided pyramids, allowing riders to attack them from a variety of different directions. Then there’s a skills area, with wooden planks and ramps, allowing a variety of mountain bike stunts. Then there’s a berm track with a wooden “wall ride” at one end. Finally, there’s an external

A new Aldergrove Bike Park will take shape this month, giving riders a variety of obstacles to challenge both new riders, and their more skilled counterparts. Bike shop owner Heath MacKenzie, left, helped with planning.

track with two different skill levels – one section is level and relatively simple, the other has more bumps and hills. The simple level would be good for a casual cyclist wanting to get just off road, or for a young rider, even one on training wheels, MacKenzie said. One of the upsides to building

a bike park out of packed earth and wooden railings is that the entire project is expected to be finished in September. It is also relatively inexpensive, costing about $140,000. About half of that is being funded by a federal infrastructure grant, and volunteers also raised money for the project, including through a bike raffle. Township Councillor Charlie Fox has been following the progress of the bike park since local volunteers and cycling enthusiasts first sat down with soccer and baseball clubs two years ago. The three groups hashed out plans for the undeveloped parts

of the Athletic Park. “We had tremendous cooperation from all the groups,” Fox said. A batting cage, an all-weather turf soccer field, and a children’s playground are to be built near the bike park, completing the Athletic Park. The bike park will be built by Triex Contracting, an Aldergrove firm, with soil trucked in from Willoughby development areas. MacKenzie said it will give Aldergrove kids something to do in their hometown. Other bike parks in Langley are too far to ride to. “That’s the issue now, that you really need transportation,” he said. MacKenzie hopes it will also add to the local bike culture.

Investigation

Hate crime unit called after violent attack

Racial slurs were thrown along with punches as an Indo-Canadian man was attacked Saturday in Willowbrook. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

An Indo-Canadian man was beaten outside a Langley grocery store in what police say may have been a hate crime attack. At about 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, the 20year-old victim was attacked, without provocation, by two young white men in the parking lot of the Canadian Superstore on Willowbrook Drive. Racial slurs were shouted during the attack, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl.

Holly Marks. The victim defended himself, and may have landed a blow to one attacker’s face. Police arrived a few minutes after the attack, but the two perpetrators had already run off. A police dog team tried to track them down, but came up empty. Now police are trying to piece together exactly what happened, and to track down the two suspects. From speaking with witnesses and the victim, and reviewing security footage, police believe the attackers were drunk or high at the time. Just before attacking the young man, they had made disparaging remarks to a woman in the same parking lot. Whether the attack was a hate crime has not yet been officially determined.

However, the BC Hate Crime Team has already been contacted and is assisting in the investigation. Support for the victim and the passenger in his car is being provided. The two suspects are both white men aged 18 to 22. The first has short, dirty blond hair and stands 5’10” to 6’ tall. He is muscular, tanned, and clean shaven, and may have been wearing a blue shirt and shorts. The second man has short spiky blond or brown hair, a thin build, and may have been wearing a white tank top. He may also have an injured nose or mouth from the fight. Anyone who has information on the suspects or the attack is encouraged to call the Langley RCMP, said Marks. The RCMP can be reached at 604-532-3200 or through the anonymous CrimeStoppers tip line, at 1-800-222-8477.

ARTHRITIS Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products,physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught #1 because of their bones/cartilage. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100 testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: ! Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping.

woman with debilitating multiple sclerosis whose family is doing everything from bottle drives to burger nights to raise funds so she can go to Costa Rica next month for specialized surgery not available in Canada. On Tuesday evening Reeder read about how heat causes MS flareups for Close and started talking with others at Torbram. By Wednesday morning, he and about a dozen Torbram managers around the Lower Mainland came up with a cool idea. “We all chipped in and bought them an air conditioner,” Reeder explained. By Wednesday afternoon, the air conditioner was delivered to the family, just in time for the weekend heatwave. “I’m so touched, I could cry,” Close said. “We were going to buy an air conditioner this year and couldn’t afford it. Wow!” The air conditioning unit will allow the family to have more control over temperatures in their Langley City basement suite. This helps Close control her MS flare-ups. “It’s just giving something back,” Reeder said. The staff has also decided to organize a regional promotion to help the Close family raise money for the September surgery. The electrical wholesale supply firm is head-officed in Langley but has branches throughout the Lower Mainland. Torbram is asking its customers to be part of the campaign simply by buying electrical supplies they already need. The company gives VIP cards to customers, part of a discount/loyalty program. If a customer buys $50 worth of merchandise and uses the VIP card at any of the nine Lower Mainland stores, Torbram will contribute $2 to the Close family effort to raise the $15,000 needed. The deal is in effect at its stores in Langley, Surrey, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Burnaby, Richmond, Port Coquitlam, Vancouver and North Vancouver. Open to the public and the trades, Torbram sells everything from wiring and lamps to lighting fixtures and some green technologies. It is moving into such things as solar power. The company has been in B.C. for nine years but has a long history in central Canada and Britain. Anyone wanting more information about the campaign can contact Torbram Langley, 604-539-9332.

Recall effort takes aim Some local HST organizers feel a recall effort may be launched in the Langley riding. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

After last week’s court hearings on the Fight HST petition, local organizers will hold meetings to discuss MLA recall. Organizers in both Langley ridings have said they are up for the effort to bring down selected Liberal MLAs if the petition is not acted upon by the provincial government. However, a list of Liberal MLAs who might be recalled includes one of Langley’s two MLAs. Mary Polak of the Langley riding is a possible recall target, but not Rich Coleman of Fort LangleyAldergrove. Shaun Sephton, who was a key organizer for the Fight HST petition in the Langley riding, said recall is a distinct possibility. “If that’s what needs to happen, I guess that’s what will happen,” he said. While a recall initiative would be an uphill fight, Sephton thinks it is possible to achieve success. The Fight HST petition needed 10 per cent of the registered voters in every

riding to sign on. It surpassed that goal. Sephton said about 25 per cent of Langley riding voters are thought to have signed. But the rules for recalling an MLA are much more stringent. Recall campaigns need 40 per cent of all the voters to sign up – and they must be voters who lived in that riding during the previous election. New residents aren’t eligible. The petition also has only 60 days, not 90 days. However, the campaign will have access to voters lists. “I think it will be a much bigger challenge,” Sephton said. The Fight HST campaign has taught local organizers a lot about how to gather signatures. “We have a better chance of hitting the ground sprinting and doing what we know works,” Sephton said. However, as he’s expecting a new baby soon, Sephton said he won’t be taking the lead on any recall petition in Langley. Fight HST volunteer Wally Martin said he’s up for an MLA recall challenge, but he knows it will be a tough battle. “I personally doubt that they’ll all get recalled,” he said. So far, no MLA has ever been successfully recalled in the province. The earliest any recall can begin is in mid-November.

Hospice has new home The group devoted to end-of-life care has a new lease on life. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Hospice Society has a new home that is literally a home. The society that offers end-of-life support to the community to find a new home outgrew small quarters in Brookswood and has moved to 20660 48th Ave. “We are settling in nicely and looking forward to

expanding our programs and services to better meet the needs of palliative and bereaved people in our community,” according to executive director Sandra Castle. On July 28, the new facility threw open its doors for the community to visit and tour the parklike lot and five-bedroom home. More than 100 people took the opportunity to tour the new home of the volunteer-based organization dedicated to helping people and families deal with hospice and end of life issues. The society officials decided that despite the

difficult economy, they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy the 4,900 square foot house to use as the home base. The society had to get the property rezoned to allow it to move into the residential neighbourhood. The house has been renovated to be a working space for several people as well as offering meeting space for hospice’s support group. Castle noted that people who weren’t able to attend the open house can still stop by the hospice society during regular office hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday).

Youth invited to picnic

Teens who haven’t had their summertime fill of hot dogs and summer sun can head to Douglas Park Thursday for a picnic. The second annual youth barbecue runs 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., courtesy of Langley Youth and Family Services Society (FAYSS) and Langley City, with support from groups like the RCMP and Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services and corporate donors. Down at the Douglas Park Spirit Square, the Aug. 19 barbecue will feature free food for youth, a dunk tank, games like basketball, activities like a graffiti wall, and live music. “This is open to all youth in the community,” said FAYSS counsellor Sonia Bilkhu. FAYSS is located at 20618 Eastleigh Cres. Created in 1994, the non-profit group provides programs and services for families.

The construction of the North Nicomekl Trunk Sewer requires the temporary closure of 200 Street between 50 Avenue and 53 Avenue in the City of Langley. The road closures will be in place over the period on the following dates:

Thanks, farmers, for everything Though many of us may be working in factories or offices, chasing the Canadian dream, the work of farming in the Fraser Valley is going stronger than ever, more than 175 years after potatoes, wheat, and peas were seeded into the fertile soil around Fort Langley and what is now the Milner Valley. Unlike most places in the world, B.C. has an Agricultural Land Reserve, a thing envied around the globe, as it preserves fertile ground from speculators and “growth.” On that land, more often than not, you’ll find computerized dairy farms, precisely engineered fields and cutting edge technologies. The “dumb farmer” who was looked down upon for too long by self-important city cousins today usually has a degree in agricultural science, coupled with a keen – and trained – business sense, a necessity in today’s cutthroat global market. Those who live in the Fraser Valley can thank agriculture for their jobs. Poultry, milk, vegetables, mushrooms, and fruit add up to close to half a billion dollars in farm gate sales annually – and the many spin-off sectors that support agriculture add another $1.5 billion to our economy. If you eat, thank farmers for the food on your plate, some of the best, freshest, and safest produced in any country around the world. What farmers do, they do out of pride and love of the lifestyle, despite the endless hours and huge financial risks. Farmers are stewards and watchdogs of the land, our water supply, and even our air. Farmers and all who work on the farms deserve our gratitude. Remember that next time you stop at a stand to buy fresh peppers or berries. So, to all our farmers, old and new and to those to come, thanks for the meal.

Harmonized Sales Tax

HST: pros outweigh cons

visited Finland, it was 26 per cent. Ontario has introduced an HST tax. The HST has pros and cons. Some things will cost more, some less, and for others there is no change. The B.C. government saves in the order of $300,000 a year in administration costs and business cuts their collection costs in half. I hope they will pass these savings on to their customers. Also, as it is an end user tax, it will not apply to exports so it will make B.C. more competitive in world markets. The evidence so far is that there are more pros than cons. One of the important things missing from the anti-HST group is what they would propose as an alternative. Surely, they have looked at what other jurisdictions in the world do to administer the collection of taxes and revenue. Is a hidden tax better than a very visible one? Just saying “no” is not the answer. Eric J. Bysouth, Langley

Government survey

Census threats not appropriate Dear Editor, I am writing with regard to the removing of the mandatory long-form portion of the 2011 Census. As a representative for Langley, I have an inherent duty to protect the rights and privacy of my constituents. That is why I feel it is important that Canadians know and understand the importance of the decision

to make changes to the intrusive, mandatory longform census. It has become clear that the mandatory nature of the long-form portion of the census is unnecessarily intrusive. Put simply, it is not appropriate to coerce Canadians to divulge extensive private and personal information by threatening them with fines and/or jail

A distrinctive coloured jet boat was stolen from Murrayville recently.

Crime

Brazen thieves on prowl

Dear Editor, On Aug. 2, thieves approached my home in Murrayville during the night, and stole my truck and jet boat. The truck was later recovered by the local RCMP; however the jet boat is still missing. The jet boat is painted a dark purple with thin, white, airbrushed lighting bolts. It has a unique, custom hood over the engine that differs it from others of its kind. It has a matte, grey floor, and the seats are white with brown and red stripes down the centre. The trailer is painted black and has diamond plate steps on the fenders with red, LED light strips on the back. This boat is irreplaceable to me. If you see a boat that is describe like this or one of a different colour (in case it has been painted) please contact your local police. I appreciate any help I can get in looking for this boat. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac; this is a reminder that thieves are not afraid to approach your home and steal your belongings. I urge all neighbours to watch out for each other’s property. Please beware and lock all your doors and chain down any trailers. Dustin Penfold, Murrayville

time for not completing the 40-page census long-form. While the basic, eightquestion, 2011 short-form mandatory census will proceed, the changes we have made simply eliminate the penalties associated with non-completion of the questions on the new National Household Survey. Interestingly, if you review the comments shared with the members of the industry committee during their hearing on July 27, many suggested that very course of action. The Ignatieff Liberals promise to force all Canadians to answer invasive questions about their private lives under threat of jail, fine, or both. The government of Canada simply does not support such an overbearing approach to data collection when there exist less intrusive methods that are equally viable and workable. The people of Langley have the right to protect their personal information and should not feel forced into sharing that information with the government if they do not so wish. The changes to the census represent a reasoned and responsible approach that finds a better balance between collecting necessary data and protecting the privacy rights of Canadians. I encourage all Canadians to complete both the short-form census and the National Household Survey next year. Mark Warawa, Langley MP and parliamentary secretary to the Minister of the Environment

Dear Editor, The petition against the HST has been approved by Elections BC and the required political follow up action is now being delayed by court actions initiated by Bill Vander Zalm and the B.C. government. The HST is now law and is this has given the people of B.C. the ability to see how it works. What is lacking is intelligent debate and what would happen if the HST were to be cancelled. I would like to see all taxes cancelled, but we live in a democratic free society and taxes have always been a part of our lives. Governments at all levels must have revenue to provide the services the citizens require. They get their revenue from taxes, visible and hidden, royalties, and fees for service. The HST is a visible tax paid by the final user of the service or goods, 12 per cent. Many countries collect the equivalent of our HST. Great Britain recently, I am told, increased their tax to 20 per cent. When I

Greg Leino

Scholarship honours respected coach, teacher Greg Leino continues to make an impact on students. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

While Greg Leino retired last year after 34 years of teaching and coaching basketball teams at D.W. Poppy Secondary, his legacy remains. Leino started out coaching D.W. Poppy’s Grade 8 and Grade 9 boys squads before moving on to seniors, whom he guided from the 1985/86 school year until 2009. When asked last winter about what he will miss most about D.W. Poppy, Leino replied, “I just like the place. The atmosphere, the teachers… a lot of my friends come from here. The ‘rookie’ in the PE staff has been here 17 years. They are friends, and I know their families. We are a group of people all working towards a common goal. It is just a comfortable place to be.” D.W. Poppy grad Geoff Henshaw, who attended Leino’s final game as coach of the D.W. Poppy senior boys squad, was moved by the experience. “You could see that impact

in those who attended the game – all really good people and solid contributors to the community,” Henshaw said, of the February 2009 contest pitting D.W. Poppy against cross-town rival Aldergrove Community Secondary (the Redhawks overcame a 36-35 halftime deficit to down the Totems 74-65). After the game, Henshaw promptly sent out an email to his former teammates. “I told them that we should start a scholarship in honour of Leino which recognizes the Poppy graduate going on to post-secondary who best exemplifies Leino’s values – athletics, academics, and community service,” Henshaw recalled. “I’m happy to say that my teammates didn’t even hesitate and a scholarship has been established.” Helping the scholarship gain traction were Colin Bailey, John Hantke, Brian Dougherty, Kirk Brown, Justice Buck, Bryan Turner, and Jon Fast. “These are all guys I played basketball with and without hesitation agreed to contribute towards the scholarship,” Henshaw said. “I’d like to rec-

Greg Leino looked on during his final game as coach of the D.W. Poppy (Secondary) Redhawks senior boys basketball team last winter. The former teacher and coach retired following the 2009 school year. Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

ognize my teammates as young men in the community who in a small way are giving back.” Giving back is what Leino was all about, according to Henshaw, who played on a pair of D.W. Poppy provincial finalist teams in 1994 and ’95, losing both to rival Aldergrove. “He really took that coaching role beyond just the basketball court,” Henshaw said. “He had a series of life lessons, things that really stuck with me, things he would always say like ‘Good enough is never good enough,’

and teaching how to rely on your teammates to make you better.” This year marked the first time the scholarship has been awarded and the winner – among several excellent submissions, according to Henshaw – was Kerri McFee, who is not only a strong athlete (volleyball, basketball, rowing) but also a strong contributor to the community (volunteering for the Salmon River Enhancement Society and at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre).

McFee has been accepted into UBC with an eye on becoming a doctor. “Kerri is an inspiring kid,” Henshaw said. “As this scholarship grows it could be very powerful for others like her to be thinking about Leino’s values and how they can live up to them.” Henshaw would like to see the Leino scholarship model adopted by other high schools, including Aldergrove Community Secondary. “Other people can start scholarships at their schools, it is easy and it feels great,” Henshaw said. “It would be great if my former rivals at Aldergrove started a scholarship of their own.” Henshaw is looking for additional donors. Those interested can email him at geoffhenshaw@gmail.com. “When you do the napkin math – 10 alumni per year over 20 years times $100… this becomes an important scholarship,” he said. “Hopefully it will grow organically and be a bigger scholarship, and be an enabler for post-secondary education.”

I thought I was just out of shape, but I said I wanted to finish the last two kilometres,” the retired schoolteacher said. Nelsen went to Langley Memorial Hospital, where he spent 15 hours in the emergency ward. Doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs.

“The doctor told me if I would have gone any further, I would have died. The blood clot would have reached my heart,” Nelson said. On blood thinning pills for roughly the next six months, Nelsen has been told that if he must run in the foreseeable future, he should do so on flat surfaces. continued on page A14…

University women’s soccer

Spartans, Redhawks feel heat Kim turns pro The TWU women were edged by host Seattle University to open their preseason.

On a sizzling hot Sunday afternoon in Seattle, the Trinity Western University women’s soccer team opened its 2010 preseason with a hard fought 2-1 loss to the NCAA Div. I Seattle University Redhawks. “It was a great effort by a lot of our players, and an overall good performance for us in the perfect preseason match-up, which gave us the opportunity to get some young players their first taste of university soccer,” TWU head coach Graham Roxburgh said. The Redhawks used a one-minute span of attacking proficiency early in the second half to break open a scoreless match and build a comfortable 2-0 lead. The two markers from Seattle came from senior midfielder Kara

Kuttler in the 63rd minute, and rookie midfielder Mary Hill in the 64th minute. The Spartans made the final 10 minutes interesting when they scored their lone goal of the match in the 79th minute on a penalty kick by second-year midfielder Natalie Boyd. The “PK” came after Boyd sent second-year midfielder Rachel Antoniuk into the box on a through ball, before she was brought down by the Seattle defender. “We had a little bit of a breakdown in our midfield on their first goal and on the second we failed to get the ball out of our end,” Roxburgh said. “It looked like we were in a little bit of trouble but we were able to steady the ship and finish strong.” The visitors from Langley almost tied the match in the 87th minute when rookie midfielder Jessica King sent second-year forward Alicia Tesan in alone on the

Redhawks’ net. However, Seattle’s junior ’keeper Madison Goverde was up to the task as she made a fine save to keep the Spartans from earning a draw. Trinity Western’s Veronika Rogina was solid in net for the Spartans. The fifth year ’keeper made nine saves in the loss as the Redhawks outshot the Spartans 20-6 overall. Seattle’s Goverde made one save in the win. Extra time: Seattle held a 12-1 edge in corner kicks. The match was scoreless through the first 45 minutes with the Redhawks holding a 5-4 edge in shots. Temperatures hit a high of 36ºC during the match. The Spartans hosted the Western Washington University Vikings at TWU’s Spartan Field on Monday. Results were not available at press time.

Senior targeting future Kelowna half marathon …continued from page A13

To keep in shape since the July 24 scare, Nelsen has been walking the trails of Campbell Valley and Aldergrove Lake regional parks, and going to the gym. This is the second setback in the past three years for the avid endurance runner who, over the past 15 years, has taken part in more than 500 endurance competitions, including 52 marathons. He has done the Sea2Summit Adventure Race nine times, the Knee Knackering North Shore Trail Run five times, Boston Marathon in 2004 and ’05, the BMO Vancouver Marathon 13 times, and Beijing Marathon in 2003. In 2008, a routine rib X-ray following a car crash last summer uncovered a disturbing find. “Cancer in my right kidney,” Nelsen said [Cancer couldn’t slow down runner, June 30, 2009, Langley Advance]. “It was destructive to the mind. I was wrapping things up with my family, and preparing my will. It’s scary.” He underwent an operation to have the tumour removed in September 2008. Two weeks after the operation, Nelsen completed a five-hour mountain run in Port Moody. An MRI that Nelson had last June found him cancerfree. To celebrate, he ran the 2009 Summer Solstice. Nelsen’s most recent marathon challenge was the BMO Vancouver Marathon, which he completed in seven hours, 17 minutes, 13 seconds while competing in the male 75-79 division. “I took it easy,” he said, looking back on his 13th completed Vancouver Marathon. Nelsen’s love of pushing his physical limits is well known in the North Vancouver area. He once completed nine Grouse Grind treks in one day, and his personal record is 64 “Grinds” in a week. He said, if he is cleared medically, he will take part in a half marathon as part of the BMO Okanagan Marathon Oct. 17 in Kelowna. He plans to continue to run marathons and trail runs in the summer of 2011.

Funeral Services

PRE-HST SAVINGS

EXTENDED

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1st, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more. While we assisted hundreds of families with their pre-arrangements prior to the July 1st deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective. By planning ahead you will: • Relieve your family of the emotional and ﬁnancial burden an unplanned funeral can cause • Prevent emotional overspending • Lock in prices at today’s rates

We’re happy to announce we are extending the pre-HST savings – but only for a limited time.

Arts Alive! 2010

Humongous growth and changes afoot for festival More vendors and visitors are expected to make this DLMA event the biggest yet. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

very year, show organizer Teri James tries to introduce something new, different, and more exciting to the Arts Alive! lineup. This year’s addition should make a “large-scale” contribution, snickered James, coordinator for the host organization, the Downtown Langley Merchants Association. With tens of thousands of new and returning visitors expected to converge on the one-way section of Fraser Highway – in the centre of the City – from 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21, James is confident the crowds will be mesmerized by the antics of stilt walkers. There will be two performers from the Public Dreams organization in Vancouver, the same group that provided the towering giants during the Olympics in Vancouver back in February. In great demand since then, they’re coming to Langley James expects they’ll be a huge hit at the 17th annual Arts Alive! outdoor festival. “I’ve seen these individuals perform at another event and everyone gets a real kick out of them. In addition to wearing fabulous costumes, these talented individuals stay in character throughout their performances.

Choosing which costumes I wanted them to wear, and therefore which character they would be was no easy feat,” James said. Langley Advance files In addition to the stilt walkers, who will be hovering over the crowd from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the You’ve Gotta Have Friends (YGHF) is introducing an art contest this year. YGHF is a community group that encourages inclusion of all residents, including the developmentally challenged. This McBurney Lane-based group is askking people to create art (paintings, drawings, photography, writing, etc.) along the

theme of Expressions of Belonging, Connecting the Dots in Community. Submissions will be shown at the festival and 12 printed in a YGHF 2001 calendar. Also new to the festival is henna artist Ramina. The self-taught artist will be creating henna tattoos to raise money for charity. There will only be two instead of three entertainment stages this year, but the children’s area is expanding, and there are a number of new incentives aimed at raising money and awareness for charities, James noted. For instance, Forever Yours Lingerie is hand spinning cotton candy in front of the store, by donations to Doctors Without Borders. Another first for Arts Alive! is the addition of a theatre component. By partnering

with Bard in the Valley theatre company, there will be a free production of A Midsummer Nights Dream at Douglas Park’s Spirt Square that night – following Arts Alive! – at 7 p.m. (see related story, pg B7). An arts festival that was once in fear of being closed down, has made a strong, steady turn around in the past seven or eight years, James boasted. And now, without question, she’s confident it will not only continue, but grow and evolve for many years to come. “Every year, it gets bigger,” James said, noting the DLMA event attracted about 14,000 people last year. Now, with almost double the number of visual and performance artists participating in the 2010 event, she’s anticipating more than 20,000 folks to visit on Saturday. “With the help of numerous volunteers, family, and friends, this event comes together with surprising ease. Not only does the festival grow in size and integrity each year, but the level of volunteerism increases at the same rate. It’s because of this I feel Arts Alive! will always be well attended by both visual and performing artists, and the community as well. It’s their show,” she said. A one-day community festival of this magnitude would typically cost about $40,000 to coordinate, James said. “But thanks to the generosity of sponsors and the incredible in-kind support from businesses and the community, it ends up costing the DLMA about $8,000,” James explained. “That’s something the entire community, and especially the downtown merchants can be incredibly proud of.”

Exhibitors

Response stuns, almost doubling show Artists clamouring to showcase their work at the 17th annual festival.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

ust days before the 17th annual Arts Alive! festival was set to go live on the main street of Langley, Teri James’ phone was still ringing. At the 11th hour, more artists were still pleading to be part of the giant outdoor exhibition being held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. “I think it’s fair to say Arts Alive! 21. is starting to gain momentum “It’s just huge amidst the arts community.” this year… TERI JAMES people keep phoning and phoning. I’m going Langley Advance files to have to get creative here,” said James, the event organizer and coordinator for the Downtown Langley Merchants Association. “It’s out of control.” Last year’s show was the biggest yet with 93 exhibitors participating. This year, the number had already surpassed 150, and was still growing

before press deadline. “It may even have to be extended further down the one-way,” James said, walking along the eastern portion of Fraser Highway’s one-way strip and looking for any extra space she could confiscate to squeeze in more artists. “Artists only tell artists about the good shows, and word is spreading like wildfire about Langley’s Arts Alive!” James said, admittedly stunned by the response. “I think it’s fair to say Arts Alive! is starting to gain momentum amidst the arts community. It’s developing a very good reputation,” James said. “There are a lot of returning artists, which I take to be a good thing because they love it here. Plus there’s all the new ones clamouring to be part of the event.” In addition to the traditional painters and photographers who have been with the show since its inception, there is a growing diversity of art forms being incorporated into the one-day show. This year, there will be leather

goods, pottery, sculpture, jewelry, wood carvings, quilts, custom-made purses, and a myriad of other creative artistic pieces. James even pointed to unique spoon-and-fork jewelry, and some Yugoslavian decorations made out honey bread – yes bread – that will be on sale. Not only do more than 100 artists plan to exhibit and sell their works this weekend, but many of them will also be working onsite, offering demonstrations or customizing pieces. While the majority – about 70 per cent – of the artists are from Langley, new and returning exhibitors are also signed up from Mission, Bowen Island, North Vancouver, the B.C. Interior and Vancouver Island. While Arts Alive! is not exclusive to artist and artisans, James said that remains the mainstay of the festival. But the event is designed to profile both visual and performing arts, and thanks to the stage and street performers, as well as the theatre company, that component of the festival is expanding all the time, too.

Arts Alive! runs Saturday, Aug. 21, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. along the one-way section of Fraser Highway in downtown Langley

or some, it will be the two live bands performing throughout the day that will attract people down to Salt Lane during Arts Alive! For others, it will be the stilt walkers or the special sidewalk sale deals put on by the lane merchants. Or maybe the kids will drag mom and dad down there because of the face painting that’s available. And for some, it will simply be the seating in the shade the merchants have arranged to make people comfortable. Why, there will even be a watering station for people’s pooches, a welcome addition considering the heat wave forecast for the region. Whatever captures people’s attention, it’s going to be a fun time down at Salt Lane this Saturday as the street gets into Arts Alive! in a big way. For the occasion, the merchants of the street that goes between the one-way section of the Fraser Highway and 56th Avenue has created a special currency.

ou and your family have made the front page of the local newspaper. The Langley Advance is once again partnering with the Downtown Langley Merchants Association to host the kids zone at this year’s Arts Alive! And in doing so, they’re hoping to raise some big coin for a children’s charity by introducing a new front page booth. You can have your picture taken and placed on one of three front pages designs of the Langley Advance, all for a donation to the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley, explained Langley Advance publisher Ryan McAdams. This community newspaper has been serving Langley for almost eight decades now, and the addition of this fun fundraiser seems an appropriate way to help mark the paper’s 79th anniversary, raise needed money for an important cause, and expand the activities available inside the Arts Alive! kids area, McAdams elaborated. In addition to a colouring contest and crafts tables being hosted again at the kids area, the Advance’s news team will be on-hand with cameras and computers to create customized souvenir front pages. Working in conjunction with Ultra Digital Printing, they’re going to be able to offer the front pages for a cost of only $5 for a laminated 8.5X11 inch, and $10 for laminated 12X18 sheet (with all money going to Cops for Cancer). The bonus, visitors walk away with a keepsake from this year’s Arts Alive! event that features them and their family. “One front page option features you helping mark the 79th anniversary of the newspaper. Another page captures all the fun you’re having at Arts Alive! And the third option explains how you’re helping the upcoming Cops for Cancer bike ride,” McAdams said. In fact, Advance reporter Mat-

David Bell-Irving, will be on hand much of Saturday for photos and answering questions about the ride and explaining how all the money raised by the 20-member team helps children battling with cancer. “I am very excited to be a part of this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley team. Unfortunately most of us have been touched by cancer in one way or another, and to be able to raise money for such a great cause is very rewarding,” Bell-Irving said.

Drawing on the street

In addition to the traditional crafts area, the addition of the new front page news booth, and the presence of the Cops for Cancer contingent, Opus will once again be front and centre in this year’s kids area. They’ll be encouraging youngsters to get creative by drawing with chalk, using a giant chunk of the street as their canvas.

The chalk art sections will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and are open to any artists between the ages of one and 18, explained organizer Chakara Brown. Each young artist is given a square to decorate. “It’s such a fun thing that we’ve just always done,” Brown said. “It’s just a fun way to get involved in a community event, and you get to see the kids being artistic. It’s neat to see how excited and how involved some of them get. Some come and spend a few minutes on their art, and then there’s others who are there for hours working on their little square… and sometimes they’ll even tell you a little story behind their drawing.” At the end of the day, the Opus staff will judge the drawings based on the funniest image, best use of space, originality, skill for age (use of lines and colour), and excitement (how involved they were in their work), giving out a number of prizes to some lucky young artists.

fied photographs from their archives (many recently donated from the Langley Advance), explained museum curator Kobi Howard. “We’re really pleased to be partnering with the Langley Advance for such a great event, which allows our project and the type of work we do at the museum to get exposure,” she said. “Although we are making great headway with our photo identifying, being at Arts Alive! allows people to see the photos we are working with and give their contribution as to where or when they think the photo was taken, for instance, or who is in it. And if people can learn about the museum or our community’s history in the process, that’s great,” she added.

And even a few of the band members from Some X 6 apparently hail from Langley, Montgomery said. This band originally started out as a heavy blues band influenced by artists such as Robin Trower, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Carlos Santanna. Over the years the band has developed into more of a rock influenced blues sound. Also on the lineup is Rayne Check, a trio consisting of Lisa Hope, Donna Wall and Dale Unrau. Their unique harmonies offer a new twist on familiar old classics, as well as new songs from many genres. And Surrey’s Twice Shy will present an unforgettable musical review, by Colleen Durdon and Gail Hawksworth, that evokes the spirit of the 1950s and ’60s through song and dance. “Arts Alive!, I think it’s something the artists, and I’m not just talking entertainers – look forward to every year,” Montgomery said, noting he’s among the most excited. “It’s a huge day for everybody.”

igger space means bigger acts on this year’s jazz stage at Arts Alive! Stage organizer and musician Steve Laszcz will open Saturday’s show at 10 a.m., then bring six more acts to the stage over the course of the day. Doug Towle “This year, we have a pretty eclectic mix,” Laszcz said, hyped about the diverse lineup and a new ability – due to space – to bring in larger acts than soloists or duos. Six years ago now, this Sudanda vocalist and guitarist took his first turn on an Arts Alive! stage. The next year, Laszcz was invited back, but in a new and expanded role as organizer. Now, he vows he’ll never leave. “What better opportunity do I have to listen to great music for 10 hours… I’m getting to hear everything and I get exposed to some Located in the old CIBC parking lot at incredible musicians,” he said. Fraser Highway, just east of Glover Road “As a musician, a consumer of music, and a lover of music, 10-10:45 a.m. – Steve Laszcz they’re going to have to drag me 11-11:45 a.m. – Charles Aaron away from organizing the stage.” 12-12:45 p.m. – Doug Towle Trio In addition to Laszcz, the lineup 1-1:45 p.m. – Don Alder 2-2:45 p.m. – Mary Kastle includes a Langley contingent 3-3:45 p.m. – Earle Peach – Songtree featuring old-time rags musician 4-4:45 p.m. – Sudanda Charles Aaron.

To Go

Jazz Stage

Mary Kastle returns to Arts Alive! again, playing a mix of smooth jazz and reggae, sprinkled with just a hint of pop. “With the groove as her signature, Kastle’s versatile palette has evoked comparisons to other soulful songsmiths such as Norah Jones, Stevie Wonder, and Tori Amos,” Laszcz said. And Doug Towle (who apparently resides just seven minutes from the stage), is back on stage again as part of a trio – this time – bringing his nuevo flamenco sounds alive on his guitar. The show also features internationally acclaimed guitarist Don Alder. “His unique style of playing incorporates fingerpicking with simultaneous percussion on the soundboard to create a wall of sound,” Laszcz explained. It’s always hard to select the right mix of entertainers for this stage, Laszcz added. With close to 30 inquiries each year, he tries to bring in a strong mix of performers without blowing the limited community festival budget. This year, thanks to Earle Peach and the Songtree, he’s even bringing in a mix of Olde English folk melodies. And a group called Sudanda brings music rooted in the basic North East African rhythms. “It’s going to be a great festival,” Laszcz said. “It’s fun, and that’s why I continue to do it.”

Then the team moves over to the Langley Events Centre to perform during the International Festival. Most of the shows are at 7 p.m., but Sunday shows are all at 2 p.m. Thain is expecting larger than normal attendance for the free Aug. 21 show, given that so many art lovers will already be in town for Arts Alive! “We’re getting people use to seeing Shakespeare done locally,” he said, noting the new theatre company has pulled together at least 30 (including at least six complete newbie actors) cast members, 25 production crew members, and another four costume designers, who have been working for months to bring this famous comedy to the Spirit Square outdoor stage in Douglas Park.

rts Alive! has always incorporated musicians, painters, artisans and a myriad of other types of artist. But for the first time ever, the annual one-day festival will incorporate a taste of the theatre. Partnering with the new Langley-based Bard in the Valley theatre company, the 17th annual Arts Alive! festivities will be followed by a free production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play, which is already running multiple nights at Douglas Park, is also showing for Arts Alive!, Aug. 21, beginning at 7 p.m. Arts Alive! guests are encouraged to take in the always popular arts festival along the one-way strip of Fraser Highway – that event runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Then visitors can stop off at one of the local eateries for dinner before taking their chair or blanket over to the park for the show, said the play’s producer Al Thain. In all honesty, Thain said there was never originally any thoughts of the play becoming part of Arts Alive! But, when the dates coincided, discussions began about partnering. It seems like an obvious merger of the arts, said Arts Alive! organizer Teri James, coordinator for the Downtown Langley Merchants Association. “We’re just so happy to be part of the amazing program that the DLMA is presenting,” Thain told the Langley Advance. “We’re the new kids on the block, but we’re

Riders vie for World Cup points at Thunderbird The Spectator Village will be open for the Summer Fort Festival. by Pamela Saunders Contributor

angley will soon play host to the world as riders from across the continent arrive for the Summer Fort Festival at Thunderbird Show Park. This event marks the end of the season at Thunderbird, home to seven major show jumping tournaments each year. The highlight of the festival is the $75,000 Keg Steakhouse & Bar World Cup on Saturday, Aug. 28 at 2 p.m. Opening ceremonies are at 1:30 p.m. Riders from across Canada, the United States, and Ireland will be riding to earn qualifying points for the Rolex FEI World Cup Finals in Leipzig, Germany next April. The 2010/11 World Cup season got underway in May at Thunderbird, bringing riders from four continents to the park.

Venezuela’s Pablo Barrios and Rich Fellers from Wilsonville, Oregon led the pack, with strong competition from California’s Ashlee Bond. Competition continued through June and July at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, where Bond was able to capture enough points to put her at the top of the league standings. Bond returns to Langley with her two top horses, 13-year-old Holsteiner gelding Cadett 7, and 11-year-old Zangersheide gelding Chivas Z. Bond brought both mounts to Thunderbird in May, her debut appearance at the park, and rode to third and fourth

place in the World Cup event behind Barrios and Fellers. Fellers and Flexible are among the competitors arriving at Thunderbird next week, along with Canadian equestrian team member Darrin Dlin and California’s Mandy Porter.

Fellers is no stranger to World Cup competition, coming second at the 2008 finals, while Porter has made three trips to the finals, most recently in 2009. Also expected are local riders, Langley native Brian Morton and Richmond’s Gary Brewster. The Summer Fort Festival at Thunderbird Show Park opens tomorrow (Tuesday) and runs through to Aug. 29. The full schedule offers daily amateur show jumping competition, with Grand

Prix events offering more than $350,000 in prize money and a range of activities for spectators. For the past several months, Thunderbird Show Park has been under construction in preparation for the new Spectator Village. The village opens at the start of the festival, offering pony rides, a children’s play area, picnic facilities and a long list of special entertainment during the big Grand Prix classes. The B.C. Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum will be on site to showcase a display of antique horse carriages, while Tourism Langley offers A Taste of the Fraser River. For all the details on the Summer Fort Festival and the opening of the Spectator Village, visit: www. thunderbirdshowpark. com.

Rider Tiffany Fong and her mount cleared a jump at Thunderbird Show Park recently. Thunderbird will be the site of the Summer Fort Festival from Aug. 18-29.

History

Thunderbird: through the years 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 the 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. In 1970, George and Dianne purchased property at 200th Street and Highway 1 in Langley. Soon after the purchase, construction began on an indoor riding arena, two stable buildings and two outdoor riding rings which would host the first show in 1972 – and quarter horse show and team roping at Thunderbird Equestrian Centre.

A view from above, way above, of what Thunderbird Show Park looks like today.

An aerial view of what was known as Thunderbird Equestrian Centre in the 1970s. Jumping horses soon followed with the first hunter/jumper show just a year later. Laura, the youngest of the Tidball children, had been riding stock horses but quickly realized that when there were no cattle around, the kids on the jumping horses were having more fun. She made the switch, clearly the right choice as Laura would go on to win both the ASPCA Maclay and AHSA Medal finals in 1980 and join the Canadian equestrian team for two Olympic Games – 1984 in Los Angeles, Calif., and 1988 in Seoul, Korea. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Thunderbird built its reputation as a quality horse show facility in the Pacific Northwest. Of course, having a Keg Steakhouse attached to the indoor riding arena added a little something to the experience. In 1998, as development was quickly closing in on the properties prime location, the decision was made to redevelop the property and close down the eques-

trian centre permanently. “We never intended on relocating. We all understood that this was going to be the end of Thunderbird Equestrian Centre,” George recalls. However, Dianne had something else in mind. She refused to give up her annual show dates and despite not having a facility, went on to hold the Thunderbird horse shows in 1999 – at Milner Downs. Within the year, Dianne broached the subject to George. “Dianne whispers to me, ‘We have 30 years of experience, I know if we do it again we can really do it right.’ In a moment of weakness, I agreed.” That summer, the current 83 acre plot of land was purchased and Robert Jolicoeur of International Equestrian Design – the same firm that planned the equestrian venue for the 1996 Olympic Summer Games in Atlanta – was brought on board to create Thunderbird Show Park. continued on page T9…

he 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

Date of birth: Feb. 25, 1978 Most memorable Thunderbird moment: “Although I’ve had literally a million great memories from Thunderbird,” LJ remembers, “one particular day in the summer of 1983 stands out for me like it was yesterday. I was five years old entering the lead line class on the Grand Prix field at the original Thunderbird Equestrian Centre. My grandfather, who was (and is!) a hero to me, ‘Papa’ George Tidball, was leading me through the ingate on a sunny day on my little white pony, Snowball. My coaches and cheering section consisted of my mom (a former World Cup ski racer), my Auntie Laura (two-time show jumping Olympian), Uncle Brent (coach from Day 1 – literally) and my life long sponsor and adored ‘Nana,’ Dianne Tidball. My extraordinary cheering section was equipped with rub rags, hoof polish, hunt coat, show number, and last minute equitation advice and encouragement; it really was quite the production! This event really stands out for me because although I had been riding in lead line classes for three years

Langley rider Laura-Jane Tidball and her horse Oxford competed at the 2009 Canadian Premier Grand Prix at Thunderbird Show Park. (since I was two years old) and considered myself a seasoned expert, this was the very first time that I was allowed to wear ‘tall’ boots and I remember adoring those boots and having polished them myself. My Aunt Laura had just purchased her legendary horse Lavendel 48, who later competed in the 1988 Seoul Olympics and I remember thinking to myself ‘I want to jump like that!’ I think I’ll always have a real affinity for shiny tall boots, the hometown cheering section, and this particular Thunderbird memory forever after.” About LJ As a young rider LJ began by competing in the EC, McClay, Washington, and CET medal classes in

both West and East Coast circuits. In 1994, LJ won the Equine Canada Medal. She was a member of the BC Young Riders Team in 1996 and was competing in the Grand Prix division by the age of 16. In 1996 LJ showed in Europe and returned once again to Germany from 2001 to 2005 to work and compete in Germany and Western Europe. Upon her return to Canada in 2005, LJ put her skills to work for Thunderbird Show Stables. LJ’s talents are utilized for riding client and sales horses, both at home and away at shows. – Reprinted, with permission, from the Thunderbird Show Park 2010 Premium publication.

She managed to hang on and clear the last jump for a clear round, just under the time allowed. Novalis and Andrea finished second. It was a very rewarding victory and to this day she reminds her students why we practise no stirrups. About Andrea Andrea’s love of horses led her to start riding. She is very thankful that her parents allowed her to take lessons, which led into buying a pony, then a horse, and finally importing horses from Europe, and the story goes on. Now she owns and operates a riding and breeding facility in Langley, where her family continues to help and support her to reach her goals.

Introducing Exorsect’s award winning technology! Why does it work? I’ve tried so-called Natural Products before. Exorsect does not kill flies and flying insects, the unique formula of Exorsect makes the insect’s environment so unpleasant that the insects would prefer to be anywhere else but in your stable or on your horses. Dressage magazine gave Exorsect top marks during 2002.

“We tested it over several days. Hacking and schooling in scorching temperatures, we were impressed, the flies attempted to land and seemed to change their mind — just buzzing off!” Dressage UK, Sept. 2002.

Dynamint Equine Leg & Muscle Rub Provita Equiband-Aid

Tea-tree oil is a natural anti-bacterial, antifungal and antiviral essential oil which, when contained in EquibandAid, forms a flexible, breathable film which seals out water, dirt and bacteria, lasting up to 2 days. This spray plaster covers the affected area like a second skin and allows natural healing. When to use: Should be sprayed topically onto hooves and all skin types (except face) where required. Once dry the product will form a transparent protective film. Available in a 500 ml handy-grip trigger spray bottle (non-aerosol). • natural • non toxic • healing • soothing • effective

…continued from page T3 “Robert was integral in the entire design process from the site plan right down to the drainage and sound,” George recalls. Though the original plan was to build the Park in phases, beginning with one hunter ring, one jumper ring, two warm-up rings, and indoor stabling for 200, 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,” laughs George. Dianne oversaw the development of Thunderbird Show Park and managed it until 2005 when she handed the reins over to her daughter Jane. What had begun with a $150 horse in 1966 had become a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art equestrian facility. Coming into the 2010 show season, Thunderbird now has three indoor arenas, three hunter rings, three jumper rings, five warm-up rings, one outdoor rodeo/multi-use arena, a total stabling capacity of up to 980 horses and a par 72, 18-hole putting course – just to list a few of the

Past tournament

Coupe rises to top of MCL Motorcars Grand Prix

Chelsea McNeill and Coupe Champagne wound around luxury vehicles for the win. by Pamela Saunders Contributor

Thunderbird Show Park hosts seven major tournaments between May and September, including the Summer Fort Festival featuring the Keg Steakhouse & Bar World Cup Grand Prix on Saturday, Aug. 28. In its 37th season, the Langley equestrian facility welcomes thousands of competitors and spectators to its 85-acre equestrian show grounds. Each tournament features both amateur and professional riders in hunter and jumper classes from Wednesday to Sunday. The July 11 Western Family Tournament Grand Prix featured a local winner.

orsepower took two forms as MCL Motorcars hosted the $20,000 Western Family Tournament Grand Prix at Thunderbird Show Park. Amid a colourful course that featured sports cars such as a Jaguar, Bentley, and Aston Martin, Langley’s Chelsea McNeill rode the aptly named Coupe Cham-

pagne to the win with the fastest clear rounds of the day. Finishing fourth in the previous week’s $20,000 West Coast Grand Prix, McNeill and Coupe led the field of 21 horse/rider combinations with the first clear round of the class. Six more would follow, putting her up against Alberta’s Lynn Macyk and Thunderbird Show Stables’ Laura-Jane Tidball. Course designer Meghan Rawlins incorporated a daunting triple combination in the first round that had competitors jumping towards the spectator tent, and several elements that tested riders’ ability to bring their mounts through a power fence before settling for a careful vertical. The jump off brought three new fences to challenge their bravery while demanding quick times. Lindsay Uyesugi got the jump off underway with Oz 42, finishing her round with four faults and a time of 48.83 seconds. McNeill and Coupe Champagne were quick with their turns and efficient over each obstacle to put in a clear round with an unbeatable time of 42.61. Ashley Papalia and Novalis clipped the final rail for four faults, followed by an eight-fault round by Tidball and Yoshi. The final three riders, all hail-
