Dan Millsip has used a bike as his main method of getting around for almost a decade, but there are still roads in Langley he avoids.
While most drivers in Langley are very good about giving cyclists room, they don’t really want bikes on main roads, Millsip said.
“Honestly, I don’t want to be there either,” the chair of the newly launched Langley HUB chapter said.
HUB is a cycling advo-cacy network started in Vancouver in the late 1990s and has been sending out spokes to other communities since.
Millsip, a semi-retired Langley City resident, will be advocating for better cycling infra-structure.
“There’s a couple areas that I’m looking at focus-ing on,” said Millsip. “One is schools.”
Millsip’s own kids rode to school through most of their early years and have become avid cyc-
lists as adults.After riding for years,
eight years ago Millsip’s family sold one of their two cars.
“Everybody in the family got a thousand dollar bicycle,” he said.
HUB has already met with the District Parents Advisory Council, and has connected with fam-ilies at local bike shops.
Millsip said he keeps hearing that people want their kids to be able to ride bikes to school, but are worried about safety.
A lack of bike lanes leading up to many schools is part of the problem, Millsip said. There isn’t a bike lane to Yorkson Middle School, for example. A bike lane down 48th Street was
just added near H.D. Stafford Middle this year.
“The alternative to that is the traffic jam at every school,” Millsip said.
Another priority is what HUB calls “Ungap the Map.”
Langley, like many other communities in the Lower Mainland, has stretches of road with bike lanes. But existing lanes and safe routes don’t necessarily connect to one another.
Even where such routes exist, they aren’t necessarily well marked.
For example, how to ride from Brookswood to Langley City?
Millsip isn’t a fan of riding down most of
200th Street or 208th Street, as neither is very forgiving of cyclists, and there are no bike lanes until north of 48th Avenue on 208th Street.
There is a safer way through, on 203rd Street – but it involves wind-ing through residential streets and cul-de-sacs and cutting through a path on the BC Hydro right of way.
Without safe, marked routes, many people choose not to ride.
“What I’d like to see is a north-south corri-dor going all the way from Walnut Grove to Brookswood,” he said.
The local HUB chap-ter is putting together a survey of cycling routes, and will have recom-mendations about which areas could do with con-nections and upgrades soonest.
He points out that other communities, like Surrey and Vancouver, are farther ahead on cyc-ling infrastructure.
“My wife, she won’t ride on the streets in Langley,” Millsip said. “We go into Vancouver, and she’s all over it.”
They’d like to see con-nections in and between higher-density neigh-bourhoods in Langley, including industrial areas like Gloucester.

Two men were seriously injured Tuesday night when a 1955 Chevrolet rolled onto its roof and into the front yard of a Langley home.
Just after 8 p.m., the west-bound Chevrolet lost control in the 5400 block of 238th Street
and rolled several times, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.
One man was found outside the car, while another was still inside the vehicle.
At least one man was taken to hospital by Air Ambulance.
Both suffered serious injur-ies, and their conditions have
worsened since.The victims, 77 and 54 years
old, remain in hospital. Neither was wearing a seatbelt, and alcohol is thought to be have been a factor as well.
Investigators have spoken to witnesses of the crash, who said the car accelerated very quickly just before it rolled.
The Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service was called out to help with the crash investigation, and the car has been sent for a mechanical inspection.
Anyone who has information that might help police is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

South of the Fraser mayors are talking strategy – again.
Langley’s mayors met with Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner Wednesday to talk about the future of regional transit in the wake of the failed TransLink plebiscite.
Hepner has been vocal both before and after the plebis-cite about pushing through the planned light rail corridor down Fraser Highway, even if the plebiscite to raise the PST failed.
The Surrey mayor has recent-ly talked about seeking a pri-vate funding source to help with the costs.
“We’ve been looking and have had early conversations with those interested in doing that,” Hepner told the Surrey Now this week. “But do I still believe it needs to be shared regionally? Yes I do.”
The light rail link was planned to run from the existing SkyTrain line down Fraser Highway to end in
Langley City. It was one of the most high-profile parts of the Mayors’ Council plans that were to have been funded by the tax increase.
Langley’s mayors and senior officials didn’t talk about spe-cifics on funding when they met with Hepner, and they are not looking to head out alone without TransLink.
“I don’t think any one party can make it work,” said City Mayor Ted Schaffer.
He agreed local communities need to be proactive rather than reactive on getting transit projects moving.
“We’re going to be having discussions with the province and our federal MPs as well,” Schaffer said.
Another meeting in September will likely involve the mayors of White Rock and Delta, too, Schaffer said.
During the run up to the roll-out of the Mayors’ Council plans for transit improve-ments, the five South of the Fraser communities strategized together to make sure their fast-growing cities would get their share of any planned improvements.
Township Mayor Jack Froese said that the meeting was scheduled before the results of
the vote were known.“It certainly flavoured our
discussions,” he said of the vote.
He rejected the idea of local municipalities going it alone on transit projects.
“We can’t got it alone,” Froese said. “These projects are just too big.”
Both Langley mayors are hopeful that something will be worked out, but how to find funding remains a major stum-bling blocks.
Mayors have said they don’t want to increase regional property taxes more to pay for transit improvements, but TransLink doesn’t have the funds to expand transit in growing areas like Surrey and the Langleys.
Areas like Brookswood, Murrayville, Walnut Grove and Willoughby in Langley have seen minimal to no increase in transit service in recent years.
Although neither the prov-ince nor TransLink has come up with a new, immediate funding source, the mayors have been calling for some-thing to happen and happen soon.
“The longer we wait, the more expensive these projects get,” said Froese.
people were treated Friday after pepper spray was released.
Township firefight-ers, BC Ambulance paramedics, and RCMP headed to the Holiday Inn on 204th Street near 88th Avenue that morning.
A cannister dis-carded in a garbage
can was accidentally set off by a hotel staff member cleaning up, said Cpl. Holly Largy of the Langley RCMP.
The pepper spray spread from the third floor through the ventilation system, as far as the lobby.
Firefighters helped six people suffering
from the effects of the spray, which can irri-tate lungs and eyes.
The typical treat-ment is to get people into fresh air. If more seriously affected, they may be given oxygen or have faces and eyes flushed with saline or water, said district fire chief Russ Jenkins.

OUR VIEW
Politicians behind on pot laws
If the voters of British Columbia had their way, marijuana would already be legal or decriminalized.
At least, that’s the results of a new Insights West poll. It showed that
67 per cent of British Columbians support ending the criminalization of cannabis. A full 38 per cent want legalization, 24 per cent want decriminalization, and 27 per cent favour only medical use. Just seven per cent want the use of pot banned com-pletely.
The laws on pot have been out of date more or less since it was criminalized early in the 20th century.
Let’s be clear – pot isn’t actually good for you, and smoking it definitely isn’t. Driving while stoned is dangerous, too. But our society already balances many good-vs-ill conflicts. Tobacco isn’t good for you either, nor is alcohol, but we regulate rather than ban those substances because the social cost is easier to bear when they are legal.
Prohibit a substance that many people want and you get crime, usually violent organized crime. We’ve seen that with alcohol in the past, but today, the owners of brew pubs and liquor stores fight for customers with advertising, not with bul-lets in the streets. We’re all better off for taking alcohol out of the hands of gang-sters.
That seems to be what many West Coasters think, too. Most expect a decline in gang violence tied to the drug trade.
The same poll shows they’re sceptical of claims by Conservative politicians that legalization would lead to teens having more access to pot. I hate to break it to Health Minister Rona Ambrose, but put-ting marijuana behind the counter of a liquor store would likely make it harder for many teens to access, not easier.
If the government does legalize mari-juana, that doesn’t mean they should encourage its use – in fact, a strategy of taxes, education, and fact-based adver-tising is likely the best policy. We’ve seen smoking rates plummet, and we’ve seen drunk driving rates fall, so why not try that strategy with pot?

W ay back in a magical time called the 1970s, govern-ments were more adventur-ous. They were even willing
to try out radical ideas like lifting an entire town out of poverty.
In 1974, in Dauphin, Manitoba, the province and feds teamed up for an experiment called Mincome. Mincome was a kind of reverse income tax, which is closely related to a bunch of similar social welfare ideas like a guaranteed annual income or a basic income.
In short, if you lived in Dauphin in 1974, and you already had a job, little to nothing changed. If you didn’t, or your income fell below a certain threshold, the government would simply send you a monthly payment. If you found work, they reduced the top up by 50 cents for every dollar you earned until you were above the poverty line.
After four years, governments killed the project and mothballed the results, which weren’t studied until a few years ago. A university researcher found that hospitalizations decreased, and the high school graduation rate rose. Few people chose to stop working, but those who did were mostly women with young children at home, and students.
Now the ideas that inspired the Mincome experiment in Manitoba are coming back around again.
Utrecht, in the Netherlands, is going to
try a similar program with its citizens, giving some a flat monthly basic income, no strings attached. They can spend it however they like.
This is not as weird an idea as it seems. If it was widely adopted, a basic income system would prob-ably work like this:
• The government sends you a cheque, every month, based on the size of your family.
• Your employer (probably) cuts your pay back accordingly. So you’re getting the same amount of money, but less from your boss.
There are some obvious advantages to a system like this. First, it cuts into poverty a lot better than the miserable amounts given as welfare, especially in a high-cost-of-living region like Metro Vancouver.
It’s great for students, parents (who can stay home longer with their chil-dren) the elderly, and people whose physical or mental disabilities make working difficult.
It also sweeps away a lot of bureau-cratic complexity. The basic income would replace welfare, EI, Old Age Security, and a host of smaller, piece-meal programs.
Finally, it would give workers more power to leave degrading or dangerous jobs.
There are also, obviously, potential problems with the system. The first is cost – we don’t know if the savings would come close to match the vast expense.
It would also be a huge problem for a lot of business-es that rely on minimum- or low-wage workers. How much would a fast food place be able to pay? And
how many people would want it if they were getting a monthly cheque?
How much would a basic income be?Right now, a single person on wel-
fare in B.C. gets $7,320 a year, includ-ing housing allowance. The City of Vancouver’s liveable wage is $20.68 an hour, or $36,450 a year after income tax.
Split the difference – $18,200 a year for a basic income. That’s more than what Utrecht will give out, which is about 900 Euros a month, or about $1,270 Canadian.
It will be a small experiment, but it should be an interesting one. With a widening income gap and stagnant wages, new ways to ward off poverty will have to be bold to succeed.Read Bob Groeneveld’s Odd Thoughts online

Dear Editor,I refer to the letter to the
editor from Tom O’Neil, Langley Meadows pointing out the fact that anyone visiting the Emergency Department at Langley Memorial Hospital must pay a ghastly $4.25 per hour to park outside the Emergency Department entrance [Hospital ER parking fees diabolical, July 2, Langley Advance].
I, and no doubt many others, have had this ridiculous experi-ence when attempting to pro-cure expedient and possibly life-threatening care at our hos-pital.
Earlier this year, I drove to LMH to receive urgent care and, having to leave my home expedi-ently, I did not have cash or a credit card with which to pay for parking outside the ER.
I exited the ER following treat-ment to find a ticket on my car
displaying a fine of $50 or $80 if the ticket was not paid within so many days.
A second visit some weeks later, again requiring immediate attention, was rewarded with another ticket (I had enough cash to pay for the initial hour and I did not at that time own a credit card). The parking attend-ant argued he could not retract the ticket no matter what the reason was for the person park-ing there, once it was issued.
Parking for easy and rapid access to the ER should be free of charge.
When the patient reports in to the ER he could give his licence number which could then be passed on to the lot attendant. This would eliminate those who had parked there to use another part of the hospital with the intention of procuring free park-ing.
Peace Arch Hospital has a number of no charge park-ing spots for those using the Emergency department with maximum times posted clearly.
Hospitals receive a good por-tion of the parking fees received yearly and this money is used to provide much needed equip-ment. That’s a plus but not a solution.
Hospital staff throw up their hands when rebuked by irate patients saying, “the hospital doesn’t look after the parking…it’s run by ImPark!”.
Someone must take the responsibility for providing park-ing at no charge for patients in need. The problem will persists if nothing is done to rectify this situation and the private parking companies will continue to reap the monitory benefits at the tax-payers’ expense.
Peter Dowler, Langley
Parking tickets punish patients
Dear Editor,I simply don’t under-
stand why the City of Surrey is insisting on LRT instead of SkyTrain extension to Langley and Newton.
LRT will increase congestion on already congested streets.
SkyTrain will encour-age thousands of
drivers to leave their cars. That will increase fare revenue for the TransLink.
SkyTrain saves travel time.
The value of time-savings and addi-tional revenue is worth billions of dollars as the rapid transit systems last for a long time.
Thus SkyTrain system is much cheaper than LRT.
The Paris and London underground systems are about 150 years old. Even Toronto’s is about 50 years old.
By reducing the num-ber of cars on the road, the SkyTrain will also help the environment.
All other cities in Metro have SkyTrain systems.
Even the Broadway-UBC link is being pro-posed as a SkyTrain or Subway line.
Why does the Surrey mayor wants to build LRT for the citizens of Surrey? What is the logic behind this?
The residents of Vancouver, Burnaby and Coquitlam have SkyTrain lines.
Why should the cit-izens of Surrey have LRT, which is much less efficient system than the SkyTrain?
I urge people of Surrey and Langley to pay attention to this important matter and write to the mayor of Surrey.

Dear Editor,The barrage of blatant vote buying
ads has arrived on television and in the mail.
A cheque of $2,460 made out to “Mom and Dad” adorns the cover of our MP’s ad mail, which the taxpay-ers of Canada paid for.
What’s notable is the deception of what is not mentioned. These UCCB payments are fully taxable, at rates between 20 and 45 per cent here in B.C.
Furthermore, the child amount deduction of $2,255 per child has been eliminated on the 2015 personal tax return.
That will cost each and every par-ent $451 in additional taxes for every child.
So, Mom and Dad, you’d better not spend that new “benefit” because you’ll have to pay back most of it next April when you file your taxes.

PUBLIC NOTICEDistrict Considers Disposition of Properties
COMMENTSWritten comments can be sent to the Board of
Education, Attention J. David Green, Secretary Treasurer, at 4875 222 Street, Langley, BC, V3A 3Z7 by July 31, 2015.
The School District has been developing business cases for the Ministry of Education to acquire capital funding for second-
ary school student spaces. A component of this process is the requirement for the District to contribute to the capital funding required. As a result, the District is considering the disposition,
through sale, of the following properties which are no longer required for future educational purposes:
County Line Elementary26345 62 Avenue, Langley, BC, V4W 1L8
A five acre site on 32 Avenue19740 32 Avenue, Langley, BC, V3A 4T1
Prior to making any final decision with respect to the disposition of these properties, the Board invites comments from the public.
Do I have a fixation on food, or does it just seem
that way?Looking at my
waistline, you would be easily convinced I do. But surprisingly, I don’t – either that, or I’m in denial.
Either way, I’m devoting this space to food… and fun.
Let’s start with the presence of eight local restaurants and about 30 brewers and bev-erage suppliers at the charity Tip ’N‘ Taste last week.
Three of Langley’s
four Rotary Clubs united to host this fundraiser at Cascades on Friday. And in doing so, they provid-ed a good time for 560 guests, gave invaluable exposure to dozens of hospitality business-es (several of them local), filled many a tummy, and – most importantly – raised an estimated $11,000 for a local charity. The money is earmarked specifically for Langley
Lodge equipment.“This was the best
attendance in over five years,” said event committee chair David Truman.
Openings on the books
Now, speaking of food and charity, a few
weeks back I told you about the opening of a new restaurant, Lori’s Donair, at 203rd Street and Douglas Crescent.
Well, Lori Armour and her family are hosting a fundraising grand opening event this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and giving part of the day’s proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society. Might want to stop by for some food and entertainment.
Along with the reminder about Lori’s grand opening, I want to mention a grand re-opening planned for a long-time Langley business – also hap-pening this weekend.
A few months ago, I also told you that Matthew Purdy and his team at Toy Traders and GameStars – along with almost every other tenant in the Langley’s City Square on the Langley Bypass – were relocat-ing because of redevel-opment of their mall.
Well, that mall redevelopment is well under way. But Purdy has already finished his, relocated his two businesses to a much larger space right behind that mall (next to Princess Auto). And he’s having a heck of a shindig this week-end to celebrate the reopening.
In this case, the event runs July 18 and 19, with giveaways and door prizes, plus pictures with some of your favourite charac-ter on Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. – by donation.
And seguing back to food, Purdy is serving up hotdogs, hamburg-ers, and veggie bur-ritos, with proceeds to Langley Shrine Club.
For those who haven’t checked out this locally owned col-lectibles and toy store, it’s worth a visit. And what better time than during a party?

ROXANNE HOOPER
It’s all about the food, and fun
Roxanne Hooper/Langley Advance
Team memerbs from Brown’s Social House served up food at the Tip ’N‘ Taste.
Elyse Maloway is feel-ing much like a superhero this week, following the opening of Hairspray – The Broadway Musical at the Stanley Park’s Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) season.
“The messages of accept-ance and the power we all have to make change are infectious, and you can’t help feeling like a superhero. A singing, dancing superhero,” said the 22-year-old Langley Secondary grad who reluc-tantly gave up participating in Langley’s own Bard in the Valley (BiV) this year to take her turn on the TUTS stage.
She’s playing Amber in Hairspray, a production that takes audiences back to 1962 Baltimore, where love-able, larger-than-life heroine Tracy Turnblad has one plucky dream: to dance on the local TV program, The Corny Collins Show.
Maloway attended the general tryouts back in early spring with the hope of securing the role of Amber.
“I did audition with the role in mind, partially because it’s so much fun to be the bad guy, but also because she’s not supposed to be a good dancer, and as an ‘enthusiastic mover’ myself, I felt I could pull that off,” Maloway shared with the Langley Advance.
Asked about the similar-
ities between herself and her character, Maloway hoped they are few and far between.
“I think Amber and I are both Type A personalities,” she admitted. But added with a chuckle that “Amber just takes being in control too far.”
This role, she insisted, has pushed her as an artist.
“Having such intensive dancing in the show has challenged me to up my game at every moment. I’ve learned so much through the rehearsals,” she said,
noting rehearsals have run four days a week since mid-May in preparation for this week’s launch.
This is Maloway’s first TUTS production, but the Langley City girl is no stranger to the stage.
In fact, she’s been acting since Grade 5 and it’s odd for her not to be on stage with Bard in the Valley, where she’s been for the past four years – first as Celia in As You Like It, then Olivia in Twelfth Night, Luciana in The Comedy of Errors, and Caius Cassius in Julius Caesar.
“It was very strange and bittersweet to not return to Douglas Park for BiV’s pro-duction of Love’s Labours Lost this summer. But I am very excited to see the show on an off-night from Hairspray,” said the recent musical theatre graduate
from Capilano University.The aspiring script writ-
er was first introduced to Hairspray on the big screen.
“I remember seeing it in the theatre and thinking ‘Wow, this energy is elec-tric!’ A few years later, after re-watching the movie and singing the songs count-less times, I saw the tour-ing Broadway production and was blown away all over again by how stirring the performance was,” Maloway said.
“It’s one on those shows where it’s impossible not to feel amazing afterwards,” she added.
While Maloway aspires to be a full-time actor, she currently works in the kitch-en at Bridges Restaurant on Granville Island to pay the bills.
“Sadly it’s extremely dif-ficult to support oneself on
theatre in Vancouver,” she said.
But she has recently signed with an agent, hoping to land more audi-tions for film and TV roles. And this fall she’s will be part of fellow Langleyite Ellie King’s production of Dracula, taking on the role of the swooning Lucy Seward, “which is a paid gig, so yay!”
“Hairspray is the perfect show for these beautiful summer nights. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll dance in your seat, it’s a wild ride you won’t want to miss!” she said, inviting people to attend the outdoor theatre production.
Hairspray opened Tuesday, July 14 at Malkin Bowl in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. The show is paired with Oliver and runs until Aug. 22.

The forecast calls for a hot weekend so the tim-
ing is perfect for the Legendary Water Fight at Langley City’s Al Anderson Memorial Pool on July 18.
From 2 to 4 p.m., swimmers take on lifeguards and Langley City Fire Rescue who bring in the ladder trucks and hoses to douse the crowds.
The cost is $5 and people can bring their pool toys. Regular pool policies apply to keep everyone safe. (There’s a spec-tator section beside the pool but no guarantees spectators will stay dry.)
The pool is at 4949 207th St.
Park itMetro Vancouver is inviting
people to celebrate Canada Parks Day on July 18 at its Langley regional parks, offering distinct activities at each.
Best of all, these programs are all free.
Campbell Valley Regional Park has Nature’s Rhythms and Inspirations, activities from 1:30 to 4 p.m.
Park at the Nature House, 20285 8th Ave., and spend the afternoon surrounded by birds, frogs, butterflies and dragon-flies. Enjoy live music, stroll the gardens, do crafts, enjoy poetry or take in the other nature-inspired activites.
Brae Island Regional Park, in North Langley on the Fraser River, offers Paddle and Pedal, activities 1 to 3 p.m.
Park at the Day-Use Area parking lot near the park entrance.
Then try out kayaking in Bedford Channel or get into a 12-person voyageur canoe.
On land there’s campsite activities. Pedal a four-wheel bike around a skills course.
The Derby Reach Brae Island Parks Association is hosting this program and all equipment is provided.
For those looking to be more hands-on, Metro Van and the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) invite everyone to help clean up the West Creek Wetland in Glen Valley Regional Park. Help pull invasive weeds and to
other work in this ecologically sensitive area. All equipment is provided and no experience is necessary. Snacks, juice and water are provided (but bring a bottle). It runs 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This restricted reserve is home to an incredible variety of plants and wildlife includ-ing birds, beavers, ducks and frogs. After the work comes an opportunity not open to the public – a guided hike to a restricted wetland area, Wood Duck Lake.
This event requires advance registration.
Learn about the various program at www.metrovan-couver.org or Metro Vancouver Regional Parks at 604-432-6359.
Outdoor screeningsWant to get outside more but
still want to watch movies?There will be more opportun-
ities this summer to enjoy out-door movies. For such events, bring blankets (it gets cool after the sun sets), portable chairs and bug repellent.
• First up is Home Church Langley. On July 18 it’s show-ing the family movie Hoovey, the story of a young boy’s return to live after collapsing at a basketball game. The movie starts at 7 p.m. at Nicomekl Elementary, 20050 53rd Ave., and there’s free popcorn.
Any questions can be directed to 604-514-4773.
• Newmark Group, a Langley-based developer, has started Murrayville House Movie Nights in the Park.
On July 22, the movie is Back to the Future while the animated movie Home is on July 29 and Aug. 5 features Pirates of the Caribbean.
All movies start at dusk at Denny Ross Memorial Park, 4700 Old Yale Rd. but family activities on each day begin at 4 p.m. (temporary tat-toos, face painting, glow sticks, bouncy castle, arts area and a hot air balloon).
Moviegoers are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Salvation Army Community Food Bank.
People can go to MurrayvilleHouse.com
before each movie to enter draws for special prizes, such as VIP seating and the grand prize of a family and friends movie night.
“Of course, a movie is not complete unless there’s pop-corn,” said Newmark CEO Mark Chandler, “and we are providing that for free. Additionally, there will be the opportunity to purchase items from an ice cream truck, a hot dog stand and a food truck that has healthy options. There will also be a water stand.”
People are asked to bring their own water bottles.
• Later this summer there will be the Prospera Credit Union Cinema Under The Star and organizers are looking for volunteers for those Aug. 7 and 29 showings. These outdoor movies benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley.
Anyone who can help or who has questions about what’s involved is asked to contact Leanne at [email protected].
The movies being shown those evenings at Willoughby Community Park beside the Langley Events Centre are Home and Cinderella respectively. Learn more at bbbslangley.com.

EllaElla, age 5, is a friendly little dog on the go. She enjoys the company of dogs and cats. She prefers her humans be school age and up. Ella will require regular grooming/clipping and her new owner will need to have a good relationship with their vet in order to manage her skin issues. Ella’s house training needs some brushing up.
SummerSummer is a 4 year old sweetheart. She came to us pregnant and super snuggly. We quickly sent her into foster so she could get comfort-able before she welcomed her last litter of kittens. After a few weeks of no babies, we sent her into the vet for an x-ray. Turns out some-where along the way, she had a miscarriage and the babies had been reabsorbed. She was then spayed and now she is looking for a forever home. She could live in a home with the right cat or dog and possibly children.
SheeranSheeran is a handsome 3 year old with the face of an angel! This guy came to us intact and scruffy with very manly cheeks. Since taking him on, we have had him neutered, tattooed and he is now ready for adoption. Sheeran is a sweetheart with beautiful ginger fur that is going to require regular brushing, about once or twice a week. This guy is a bit reserved but once you get to know him, he will show you his true colours. He loves to roll around in the sunshine and rub on his catnip pillow. He could live with another cat or dog and could possibly live with children
Chirpa has it all. She is good with kids, cats & dogs. She is all tail wags and love. She enjoys short walks and long car rides. This 9 year old dog will require a little extra TLC in terms of drops for her eyes. She will also need someone who can say no seconds to that adorable little face at meal times.

CleopatraCleo was surrendered to us after her cat siblings were ganging up on her. She is 4 years old and is lovely with dogs. She enjoys other cats as long as they enjoy her!

She is a very special black beauty and is just waiting for that purrfect person to come along and sweep her off her paws.

Bomber and Thorin have room to roam, explore, and play, and a new mom and dad of sorts, thanks to the work of the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS).
The brothers were adopted by Abbotsford couple Tyler and Rachele Vaillancourt during LAPS’ first ever Kitten Palooza, an adoption event to find homes for some of the many kittens in the soci-ety’s care.
Vaillancourt came to the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Aldergrove to pick up the two kittens.
The Patti Dale shelter was one of two sites for Kitten Palooza, the other being the society’s satel-lite adoption centre in the Abbotsford Petsmart.
LAPS has had a record numbers of kittens dropped off at its door. It had almost 100 kittens in foster care with staff and volun-teers, and had roughly 50 kittens.
The cat problem in Langley paints a dim pic-
ture: 22,000 feral/homeless cats reproducing in the community; 7,000 owned cats allowed to have unwanted kittens; a 75 per cent mortality rate if kit-tens aren’t rescued by six months; zero public funds supporting LAPS’ rescue efforts; and a 93 per cent increase in kittens rescued by LAPS this year.
Jayne Nelson, manager of animal welfare at the Patti Dale shelter, said 23 kit-tens and an adult cat were adopted on June 27.
The first 30 people who adopted at the event received a kitten goodie bag, and everyone who adopted that day were entered to win a grand prize and other goodies.
“We’ve always want-ed a cat and this seemed like a good time to do it,” Vaillancourt said.
They wanted to have cats that really needed a home.
Thorin’s affectionate nature sealed the deal for him and his brother.
“When I picked up Thorin, he started purring,” Vaillancourt said.
“They were by them-selves in there, and I didn’t want to split them up,” she added.
The new pets are part and parcel with the couple’s new home.
“We’re really excited to be homeowners and to have cats to go with it,” Vaillancourt said.> More at langleyadvance.com

A life-size Angry Birds game is one of the events on offer.
The Urban Church has added more fun activ-ites to its annual free summer event on July 19.
For the past four years the organizers have hosted hundreds of kids, rain or shine, for an afternoon of fun.
“Grab the neighbourhood gang, your family and friends and head on over for some crazy fun,” said pastor Andrew Yackel.
Back this year will be the life-size Angry Birds arcade game. There will also be a giant slip and slide, water games, relays and a dunk tank.
Kids can take part in the colouring contest with prizes for three ages groups (winners get a movie package. Urban Church’s regular services are at Colossus Theatre.)
The Sunday afternoon fun also includes a watermelon eating contest.
There’s crafts, bouncy structures, water bal-loons and even some free treats. Many of the inventive games are crafted by the volunteers.
“Hosting a community party like this is a way to give back to the families of Langley and have a great time together,” Yackel said. “Over the last number of years we continue to see the party grow and more families join in the fun.”
Fun in the Sun goes noon to 3 p.m. at the Willoughby Park rugby fields (beside the Langley Events Centre).
For more information, go to www.urbankids.ca or call 604-817-5705.

PUBLIC ART
Artists wanted for park
Langley Township is asking for proposals for 10 art panels for the McLeod Athletic Park.
The Township is planning to create a new fence line separating viewers and athletes at track meets. Rather than a simple fence, the flat steel panels will depict track and field sports, team or individual.
The composition must be in black and white, and 10 designs will be chosen. Artists can submit up to five designs; each winning design will net the art-ist $500.
Works must be in black and white. Visit museum.tol.ca for an entry form and more information.
The dealine for entries is Friday, July 31, at 4:30 p.m.
Langley’s Pos-Abilities held its annual event on Saturday.
The Day of Pos-Abilities saw every-thing from square dancing to car demonstrations in Langley City’s Dougls Park.
Organized by the Langley Pos-Abilities Society, the event was about the group’s core goal of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
On the main stage, Darlene Austin square danced with the Wheeling Eights. Austin was in her
wheelchair.Though she can
walk now, a hip operation several years ago led to her using the chair for some time.
“I wanted to keep up my square dan-cing,” said Austin, president of the group. Able-bodied and wheelchair users can take part in Wheeling Eights square, round, and line dancing events.
“We’re the only wheelchair club in B.C.,” said Austin.
Also on display was the Chairiot Solo, an electric city car built for people in wheelchairs. It has a rear ramp and wheel-in seating, an 80 km range, and charges from a stan-dard 3-prong plug. It’s likely to be on sale in Canada soon, said Wolfe Mobility’s Ellyse Hewitt.

Grilling is saucyHere are a couple
of our favourite homemade barbe-cue sauces that we use all the time.
Keep in mind that barbecue sauces are not marinades, they are a finishing sauce only. If applied to the meat at the beginning of (or too early on during) the grilling process, the sugars in these sauces will burn.
Apply during the very last part of the cook-ing process and close the lid of your barbe-cue to carmelize the sugars.
Bourbon BBQ Sauce
In a medium pot, combine the ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke and the 1 tsp salt. Heat over medium-high heat until boil-ing, stirring constantly. Lower the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside, off the heat, when done.
About 5,600 people poured through the gates at South Langley’s Critter Care wild animal shelter on July 11 and 12.
The annual open house, the only opportunity for many people to see the
wild animals being rehabilitated by the society’s volunteers, did very well, said Critter Care’s Maureen Binnie.
The society has already taken in more than 700 animals so far this year, including 145 raccoons.
Critter Care takes in injured and sick wild animals, from bear cubs and fawns down to skunks and flying squir-rels.
Binnie noted that this is the first year in many that the society has cared for a porcupine, and they also have two mar-mots from the province’s Interior.
The animals, whether orphaned or injured, are cared for until they can be released back into the wild.
About 70 volunteers worked the two days, including Sgt. Lorne Lecker of the RCMP’s Deas Island Traffic Services.
Lecker has volunteered for six years.“I truly believe in the hard work done
by organizations like Critter Care, and I am pleased to support these animals in any way I can,” Lecker said.
Lecker met one of the baby raccoons, Hazel, during his time at the shelter on the weekend.

The community’s biggest event adds new activities.
Change is good. Especially when it comes in the shape of great
new family activities at the Aldergrove Fair Days, celebrating 103 years of fun, at Aldergrove Athletic Park this weekend.
Grounds organizer Mike Robinson noted there are a number of new things to do at the fair this year while the favourite stand-bys remain.
“Exciting things,” he said. “We’ve got some good music this year. Well, we always have good music.”
In addition to good music, one activity fam-ilies are sure to love is the fairy garden.
“New this year is a fairy
garden,” Robinson said. “It’s very cool. Lots of things for little kids and big kids.”
Everyone can come dressed up in their best fairy or knight clothing, or they can make use of the items on site for dress up.
“There is also a tent there to make wands and swords and that kind of thing,” added Robinson.
Another new item coming this year for creative types is a
graffiti wall. Then there’s the world’s
largest zucchini luge. “Well, it might be the
world’s only zucchini luge,” Robinson joked.
The 200-plus foot luge is set up to race tricked out zucchinis and even corn cobs. Everything is provid-ed on site.
“You make your own zucchini or corn cob car,” Robinson said. “We’re branching out in the vege-table world. We’ve got
wheels and all the things for decorating. Everything is there, all we need is the creative juices.”
Be sure to check out classic fair exhibits as well, such as crafts,
food creations, and gar-dening, all competing for prizes.
A couple of items everyone expects are the midway and great fair food. Robinson assures the Aldergrove Fair Days won’t disappoint with 16 different food vendors on site.
“The midways is there and of course the shooting stuff,” he added.
There will be the world’s fast draw championship and
for those who want to test their own shooting skills, there is an air pistol tent set up by a local club to teach air pistol shooting skills.
There will also be the tractor pull events.
“This year again will be the antique tractor pull and a lawn tractor pull,” he noted.
For those interested in competing in the trac-tor pulls, Robinson said, “Come and look at it, talk to the tractor pullers there, then by next year, you’ll be ready to compete.”
While the layout for the fair is slightly different this year, Robinson is certain people will find their way around easily.
Friday night features the car show at Aldergrove Community Secondary,
the midway, food vendors, and the beer garden from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday runs from 10 a.m. (when the parade starts in downtown Aldergrove) to 10 p.m. with all events and exhib-its open, and Sunday is set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Entrance to Aldergrove Athletic Park for the fair is best off 28th or 29th Avenues east of 264th Street and west of 269th Street.

The community’s biggest event adds new activities.
Change is good. Especially when it comes in the shape of great
new family activities at the Aldergrove Fair Days, celebrating 103 years of fun, at Aldergrove Athletic Park this weekend.
Grounds organizer Mike Robinson noted there are a number of new things to do at the fair this year while the favourite stand-bys remain.
“Exciting things,” he said. “We’ve got some good music this year. Well, we always have good music.”
In addition to good music, one activity fam-ilies are sure to love is the fairy garden.
“New this year is a fairy
garden,” Robinson said. “It’s very cool. Lots of things for little kids and big kids.”
Everyone can come dressed up in their best fairy or knight clothing, or they can make use of the items on site for dress up.
“There is also a tent there to make wands and swords and that kind of thing,” added Robinson.
Another new item coming this year for creative types is a
graffiti wall. Then there’s the world’s
largest zucchini luge. “Well, it might be the
world’s only zucchini luge,” Robinson joked.
The 200-plus foot luge is set up to race tricked out zucchinis and even corn cobs. Everything is provid-ed on site.
“You make your own zucchini or corn cob car,” Robinson said. “We’re branching out in the vege-table world. We’ve got
wheels and all the things for decorating. Everything is there, all we need is the creative juices.”
Be sure to check out classic fair exhibits as well, such as crafts,
food creations, and gar-dening, all competing for prizes.
A couple of items everyone expects are the midway and great fair food. Robinson assures the Aldergrove Fair Days won’t disappoint with 16 different food vendors on site.
“The midways is there and of course the shooting stuff,” he added.
There will be the world’s fast draw championship and
for those who want to test their own shooting skills, there is an air pistol tent set up by a local club to teach air pistol shooting skills.
There will also be the tractor pull events.
“This year again will be the antique tractor pull and a lawn tractor pull,” he noted.
For those interested in competing in the trac-tor pulls, Robinson said, “Come and look at it, talk to the tractor pullers there, then by next year, you’ll be ready to compete.”
While the layout for the fair is slightly different this year, Robinson is certain people will find their way around easily.
Friday night features the car show at Aldergrove Community Secondary,
the midway, food vendors, and the beer garden from 6 to 9 p.m., Saturday runs from 10 a.m. (when the parade starts in downtown Aldergrove) to 10 p.m. with all events and exhib-its open, and Sunday is set for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Entrance to Aldergrove Athletic Park for the fair is best off 28th or 29th Avenues east of 264th Street and west of 269th Street.

Dear Anne,When is the prop-
er time to harvest Russian garlic? I have 600 bulbs planted in west Kelowna. The tops are drying out (greenness disap-pearing). In a single bulb the individual bulblets are not well formed. In previous years I harvested at the end of the first week in August.
John Kriss, Vancouver
Dear John,You’ve been har-
vesting your garlic at the right time. My garlic is also drying ahead of the normal schedule. Individual cloves in my garlic are also unusually small. The one thing that may help your garlic is to begin watering
and see if that retards the drying process. I hope you have enough water available for this.
If water is a problem in your situation, it would still be interest-ing to select a patch of garlic small enough for a steady watering pro-gram. I may try this for my own overly dry garlic patch. Hopefully there would be some-
thing to be learned from the result.Dear Anne,
I’ve been told my lilies are affected by a ‘virus.’ The blos-soms are distorted and don’t open fully. I have picked off all affected blossoms and destroyed them. What can I do to cure this?
Emilie B, ChilliwackDear Emilie,
Sorry to tell you, but viruses on lilies can’t be cured. All you can do is pull up the dis-torted ones, bulbs and all. Then trash them. Don’t compost them.
Viral infections live in the soil for about five years and during that time, it’s import-ant not to grow any other lilies in the same area because they’ll get infected, too.
If you have any lilies growing elsewhere in your yard, you’ll need check them often for aphids. Try to destroy any aphids on your lilies before they get a chance to take hold. Generally, it’s aphids that spread viral infec-
tions.Dear Anne,
I have an old ‘Doyenne du Comice’ miniature pear tree which has been plagued by rust spot for several years. Last year a friend helped me spray it with lime and sulphur, and I have pruned off all the old infected growth. How can I help it regain its nutritional balance?
Barbara, VancouverRust is a fungal
disease which over-winters on junipers. If your garden has any junipers, I’d rec-ommend you remove them. If they’re in your neighbours garden, that’s very awkward. As long as junipers are within 150 metres, you’ll get some pear rust every year.

Bounteous blooms and good weather helped a local garden.
More than 1,000 people came to see the flowers at Erikson’s
Daylily Gardens on July 11 and 12.
“We were so happy with the weather, it was perfect,” said Pam Erikson, the gardener who has cultivated thousands of varieties of daylilies on her North Otter property.
There were several buses that brought visitors, and members of the Port Coquitlam Garden Club arrived in a group.
“They came out in full
force,” said Erikson.One visitor was tickled when
she won three bird houses back to back in a draw.
“We’re already in the plan-ning stages for next year,” Erikson said.

They say even good things must come to an end and this is the case with almost 50 years of Pleasant Hours teas hosted by the Murrayville site of the United Churches of Langley.
The final tea was held on June 23 in the church hall according to Jean Gregson, a mem-ber of the church.
“They were always in the church hall,” she said of the afternoon activity designed to deliver activity for those in care homes.
A Valentine’s party put together in February 1967 by Daisy Holtby (the then minister’s wife) and Robena Rutherford was the first Pleasant Hours event. It was an outreach initiative by the United Church Women’s group of what was then the Sharon United Church.
Rutherford recognized the need for the month-ly afternoon outing for rest home residents as a way of offering recreation, entertainment, and a social event.
That first February tea was obviously a hit because by September 1967 it was reported that seven of the events had been held for care home residents.
“A lot of the care homes didn’t have enter-tainment for their guests and residents,” noted Gregson of how the Pleasant Hours came to be. “But most now do. So it’s different now.”
The fact that many care homes now offer a full-range of activities contributed to the end of the church-run monthly Pleasant Hours.
“Also, the Ministry of Health has asked that any bus that transports people from care homes have someone that could perform resuscitation,” she added. “It’s a reasonable expectation, but it was just another thing to add to the list.”
In addition to these reasons, Gregson said most of the people helping to put the Pleasant Hours events together are retired and are getting older.
“Working people are not available on a Tuesday afternoon,” she said.
In the past, while care homes didn’t have entertainment programs, they also didn’t have buses, so church volunteers would pick up residents, bring them to the church hall, and return them to their homes after the event.
Gregson’s mother, Doris Blair, was one of those drivers. She participated in the events as a volunteer as long as she was able, then enjoying the teas into her 90s.
It wasn’t just seniors who enjoyed the events filled with singing, dancing costume parties, meeting live animals, and more. Guests included those in assisted living facilities due to physical or mental challenges.
“So younger people were there as well,” Gregson said. “They really appreciated the out-ing.”
Volunteers may have been working at the events, but as Gregson points out, they enjoyed the entertainment as well.
“There are mem-ories of hearing Joan Danby sing accompanied by Donna McTaggart, the appearance of Santa Claus (Ken Mallinson) at the annual Christmas turkey din-ner held every December, Peggy McGregor’s costumes at the Halloween teas, Highland dan-cers, singing groups, live animals such as lambs, and much more,” she said.
Refreshments were part of the teas, too, with a monthly birthday cake and card to honour those who celebrated a birthday that month.
Gregson noted that Shirley McGonigal has been a “tireless worker” for the Pleasant Hours. She listed many other individuals who have taken part in the long-term success of the events over the past half century: Betty Lou Chell, Ellen Mufford, Althea Plowe, Bertha Alexander, Flo Riddall, Mildred Berry, Angie Barron, Kathy Burchill, Jean Beard, Francis Bishop, Rose Lembke, Audrey Spiegel, Robena Rutherford, Marilyn Packham, Lynda Christensen, Edie Thompson, Nancy Mallinson, Carol Tauber, Marlene Aylen, Joyce McHugh, Bob Baker, Charlie Bishop, Doris Blair, Dick Chell, Ken Mallinson, John McGregor, Allan McLeod, Harry McTaggart, Peter Skeates, Arnold Aylen, Wayne Markel, Fred and Bev Rodrigo, Joanne Skeates, and other members of specific church units and committees.
The end of the Pleasant Hours was a diffi-cult decision for the United Churches of the Langleys. Gregson said it is a bittersweet end-ing.
“There are new projects that are being planned,” she said.

Plans pay off
The Province of British Columbia for-mally recognized the Township as an Age-friendly Community, a designation the Township first sought in 2013.
The Age-friendly Strategy developed by the Township to make that commit-ment a reality was presented with an Award for Planning Excellence Merit from the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) June 29.
“A lot of hard work and solid planning has gone into our Age-friendly Strategy, and we are very grateful to our Seniors Advisory Committee and the Age-friendly Task Force for everything they contributed to develop this plan,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese.
The strategy was created to ensure that housing and transpor-tation options, ser-vices, and programs are in place to help seniors experience a great quality of life, as people are living long-er and doing more in their later years.
The Seniors Advisory Committee set about holding workshops, gathering ideas, and suggesting policies and practices.
The strategy was developed with input from the commun-ity, partner agencies, stakeholders, and the Township’s Youth Advisory Committee.
It outlines clear, simple actions and easy to follow ideas that were praised by the Canadian Institute of Planners, which noted that other com-munities could use the Township’s ideas.
“Receiving official designation as an Age-friendly Community from the province is a great step forward and people of all ages will benefit from the results,” Froese said.
The Age-friendly BC Recognition Program is a partner-ship between the BC Healthy Communities Society and the Ministry of Health.
The Township is currently working with its Seniors Advisory Committee to imple-ment the suggestions outlined in the strat-egy.
“We have a great plan,” Froese said.

Three Langley athletes will represent Canada at the World Special Olympics Games.TROY [email protected]
As we celebrate Josh Low’s arrival at the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles this month, let’s reflect on the Langley athlete’s journey.
Josh, who has Down syndrome, was diag-nosed with leukemia when he was four and endured four-and-a-half years of chemotherapy treatments.
He also has a heart condition and on one frightening occasion, a “crash cart” was pos-itioned outside his hospital room because he was in congestive heart failure.
Josh also spent time at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice because it wasn’t believed he would survive.
Josh was on a feeding tube until he was 11. After that, he told his mom Merry, “12 year olds don’t need feeding tubes.”
His dad Paul said Josh has 50 per cent lung capacity, which he said is a byproduct of years of chemotherapy treatments.
Through it all, Josh has soldiered on, getting involved in Special Olympics 11 years ago.
Through Special Olympics, Paul said his son has “thrived.”
He started in floor hockey and has since dabbled in practically every other sport Special Olympics has to offer, including softball, track and field, powerlifting, and basketball.
But he’s really found a real niche in swimming.
At the world games, which run July 25 to Aug. 2, 23-year-old Josh will represent Canada in the pool, competing in the 25-metre back-stroke and freestyle races, as well as with Canada’s 4 x 50m relay team.
“I’m the next generation,” said Josh, who took up competitive swimming four years ago. “My mom was a swimmer.”
Josh’s second ever swim meet was at the regionals four years ago in Coquitlam, and after that he competed in the BC Special Olympics Games in Langley in 2013.
Then, Josh competed at the Canada Special
Olympics Games at UBC last July.Josh qualified for the world games not just
based on the gold medal in the 25-metre free-style and silver in the 25-metre butterfly that he won at last summer’s national event, but for other intangibles, as well.
“You don’t necessarily have to be first in all your races to move on,” his mom explained. “You have to do well, but you also have to have referrals from your coaches in terms of sportsmanship and all of the other things that go along with it.”
Other factors include dedication to training, and the ability to travel independently.
“When he goes to nationals and worlds, we won’t see him at all,” said Merry, who along with Paul are travelling to L.A. to watch their son compete.
“It’s okay for them to see me at worlds, but I won’t see them,” Josh offered.
Asked how tough he thinks the competition
in L.A. will be, Josh chuckled. “I won’t know until I get there,” he
answered.
Langley well represented
Joining Josh at the world games are Langley basketball players Alastair Singh and Matthew Williams.
They were part of the Langley Warriors who won gold in the A Division at the 2014 Canada Games at UBC, as Special Olympics basketball debuted at a national level.
However, Matthew and Alastair are joining Team Canada as individual additions.
Alastair, who stands 6’5” and plays centre, is one-half of a combo with his 6’3” brother Alexander, who was forced to miss last year’s national event due to a severe ankle sprain that he suffered two days before the BC Games in Langley.
Alastair called being selected to play for Team Canada an honour.

…continued from page A27“I was thrilled once I got
the news,” he said. “I was shocked.”
The Singhs have been with the Warriors for a few years, now, according to their head coach Kurc Buzdegan.
Prior to that, Buzdegan coached the brothers with the Developmentally Challenged Youth Basketball Association, in the Marpole area of Vancouver.
While Alastair, 34, is star-ring on the basketball court, he’s no stranger to Special Olympics, which he has been involved in for the past 20 years.
This is his second World Games, having competed in indoor track and field in Portugal in 2001.
“It was the first experi-ence I had indoors,” Alastair recalled. “I wasn’t used to indoor track – I was more used to the outdoor. I did the 100 [metre sprint], the 4[00], and the 8[00]. It was a fun learning experience. Win or lose, it was an opportunity to go somewhere, because a lot of people don’t get a chance to do something like that – to go overseas and compete. That was fun. Something like this is the next round.”
Alastair said basketball is “big in L.A., so this is going to be a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to when I get there.”
Matthew, 23, is a dedi-cated ambassador and advocate for
Special Olympics.And this isn’t the first
time the world spotlight has shone on him,
Last summer, Matthew took centre stage at the White House with fellow Special Olympics athlete leaders and youth activists, and felt honoured to have the genuine attention of the president and first lady of the United States.
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, honorary chairs of
the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games, hosted a dinner at the White House on July 31, 2014.
The event celebrated Special Olympics and its work for inclusion and unity, and built excitement.
Shifting from one unbeliev-able experience to another, this is Matthew’s first world games and he said he’s equally nervous and excit-ed. “I’m nervous, just to go down there and represent my country but at the same time I’m excited to have the opportunity [to play] with the great team members and
really show the talent and development that Special Olympics Canada Basketball has been growing over the past few years.”
A guard, Matthew can’t wait for the games to start.
“A highlight will be getting to be on the court,” he said. “It was a great honour to be an ambassador and promote Special Olympics and be able to speak on the talent of the athletes, but now getting to have a hands-on experience along with my team mem-bers and playing some great basketball teams from all around the world is some-thing I’m definitely looking forward to.”
Matthew said basketball has been beneficial for him, not just on the court, but off of it, as well. “It’s defin-itely something I’ve really enjoyed and have a great experience playing.”
About the Games
With 7,000 athletes and 3,000 coaches representing 177
countries, along with 30,000 volunteers and an antici-pated 500,000 spectators, the world games – taking place July 25 to Aug. 2 – will be the largest sports and humanitarian event any-where in the world in 2015, and the largest event hosted by Los Angeles since the 1984 Olympic Games.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Robinson wins 2014 top buckleNext up is a World Fast Draw event at this weekend’s Aldergrove Fair Days.
One of Aldergrove Fair Days’ directors was right on target on the World Fast Draw Association (WFDA) circuit this past year.
Last month, Karen Robinson received the all-around top gun of 2014 buckle award for her fast gun handling, and did so at 69 years of age.
Robinson joined WFDA chairman Dan Qualls, who accomplished this same feat in the men’s division.
The 2015 WFDA banquet coincided with the World Traditional Index contest in Mountain View, Arkansas, where the top 15 men’s buckles and top seven women’s buckles (and shooters’ ratings for 2015) were announced.
There are three more WFDA-sanctioned events on the fast draw circuit, with the very next one being held at Aldergrove Athletic Park July 18 and 19.
The World Open Index Championships is faster than traditional, allowing for faster hol-sters and draw styles, but the onus on hits is the same for both styles of shooting. The penalty for a missed target with both events is one second, which is clocked by modern electronics devices calibrated to one-thou-sandths of a second.
Shooters wear western attire, and come from all over the continent.
There is a celebrity shootout challenge at high noon on Saturday. See page A16 for more on Fair Days.
