Suspect in Surrey attack spotted in Langley SEVENTY-YEAR-OLD VICTI M OF BRUTAL ASSAULT IS FEELING STRONGER EVERY DAY T RAC Y H O L M E S Bla ck Pre s s
As police continue to search for the man who brutally assaulted a South Surrey senior in her home last week, the image of a suspect in the case was captured at a bank machine in Langley, shortly after the attack.
The victim and her husband, meanwhile, have reached out to thank those who helped her in the aftermath. “The people in the neighbourhood were awesome, as were all of the police officers and firemen and paramedics and hospital staff and doctors and nurses at Surrey Memorial Hospital. I feel stronger

every day because of them and my husband and family,” the 70-year-old told The Times’ sister paper, the Peace Arch News by email Sunday. The woman was assaulted around noon on Wednesday, Aug. 12, when a man entered her home in the 16700-block of 28 Avenue, brandished a weapon and re-
strained her. When she couldn’t comply with the intruder’s demands for cash and other items, she was physically and sexually assaulted, suffering what police described as “significant” injuries. Continued Page 3

Gymnastics coach assaulted nine victims SENTENCING HEARING HEL D FOR L ANGL EY COAC H, J OHN HENRY VIKKI H O P E S Bl ack Pre s s
A boy who was taking gymnastics lessons in Langley revealed to his parents in March 2014 that one of his coaches had been touching him in an inappropriate manner. The ensuing police investigation resulted in eight other boys saying the same thing had happened to them and 19 charges being laid against John William Henry, 32. On Friday in Surrey provincial court, several parents of these boys were present at a sentencing hearing for Henry, an Abbotsford resident who previously pleaded guilty to nine counts of sexual assault and one count of possession of child pornography. The nine other charges were stayed. The judge’s decision on sentencing will be given at a later date. During the hearing, Crown law-
yer Jodie Harris detailed how, over a nine-month period starting in mid-2013, Henry assaulted the boys — mostly ages eight and nine — while he was a coach with the Langley Gymnastics Foundation, where he had worked for four years. Most of the assaults involved Henry touching the boys on their genitals, outside of their pants, while assisting them with gymnastic maneuvers or while serving as a chaperon/counsellor at a summer camp. The victims described to investigators that the way Henry touched them made them feel uncomfortable, especially because other coaches touched only their legs or backs to assist them with maneuvers. Other incidents involved Henry exposing himself to the victims; kissing their hands, arms or lips; or looking at their genitals while they were sleeping. In one case, Henry briefly per-
formed oral sex on one of the boys. Harris said that Henry would tell the boys not to say anything about what had happened, because he could lose his job or go to jail. Henry was arrested the same day that the matter was first revealed to police, and he confessed to a total of five victims. The four others were discovered as police continued to investigate. The child porn charge was laid after Henry confessed to having downloaded images of child sexual abuse and told police that they would find the micro SD memory card hidden in a railing on his bed. Victim-impact statements read in court detailed the trauma that Henry’s actions caused to the victims and their parents. Among the difficulties being experienced by the victims are anxiety, nightmares, a lack of trust and a fear of

John Henry, a former coach with Langley Gymnastics Foundation, is being sentenced for a series of sexual assaults on young victims. being left alone. “To have taken the innocence from these children …. is what
infuriates me the most,” one mom wrote. The court also heard findings from a pre-sentence report, including psychological testing, done on Henry. The report indicated that Henry had grown up in a stable and loving home, but became interested in images of child sexual abuse in his 20s because he found them to be “more innocent and less aggressive” than adult pornography. In viewing child porn, he came to see such behaviour as acceptable and he was ignorant of the damage it could do, although the report indicated that he no longer feels that way, Harris said. She said the report states that Henry feels remorse and disgust for his behaviour, would like to apologize to the victims, and plans to participate in sex offender programs while in prison. The Crown and defence lawyers presented a joint submission in court, recommending that Henry receive a six-year sentence. He has been in prison since his arrest in March 2014.
Security image of suspect captured at Langley bank From Page 1
RCMP issued a safety warning to the community, and on Thursday, released a description and security-footage images of a suspect sought in connection with the disturbing crime. The images — of a man wearing a baseball camp, grey T-shirt and sunglasses — were captured around 2 p.m. Aug. 12, at an RBC bank machine at 20059 40 Ave., in the Brookswood area of Langley. He is described as 20 to 30 years old, five-foot-10 to six feet tall, with a medium build and no visible marks, scars or tattoos.
He is believed to be Caucasian, and, at the time of the offence, had shoulder-length, light-coloured hair that may not have been real. He spoke without any distinguishable accent, the victim told police. Police confirmed that the bank card used at the machine did not belong to the suspect, but would not confirm if it was stolen. Cpl. Scotty Schumann said Monday that “several” tips have been received as a result of the released photos, however, none have led to the suspect’s identity. As unsettling as the incident was, the woman’s husband
told Peace Arch News Monday that the couple are intent on getting through it. “We’re doing the best we can and we’re determined to see this thing through and not let it change our lives,” he said. Married 51 years this month, he said they are also taking steps to increase their home’s security — steps they’ve never felt they needed in eight years of living at the home. “I guess we got a little bit too complacent,” he said. “When we first moved here, we didn’t even bother locking doors. “We weren’t protecting ourselves like we should have. Now… the gate’s closed continuously.”

Health Matters
The Mediterranean Diet has been linked to a variety of healthy outcomes – from weight loss to cardiovascular benefits. Now, a Spanish researcher is noting that the Mediterranean Diet, supplemented by nuts (a daily 30 g mixture of walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds) and 1 litre per week of extra-virgin olive oil, seems to protect the brain – boosting memory and improving cognition. But, it only seemed to work if started before any declines in brain function appear! Another study is supporting the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet for the brain. In this one, the key factors seemed to be increased fish consumption along with reduced meat intake – the result being reduced brain atrophy with aging and, presumably, preserved cognition. These outcomes were associated with longterm adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and support the growing evidence of the influence of diet on health. Some changes are being recommended for healthy eating guidelines. The usual suspects are still there: vegetables/fruits, whole grains, low/non-fat dairy, fish, legumes, & nuts. And, the usual advice to

Pharmacist, BSc The biggest demon? Added sugars should be less than 10 per cent of calories. Many people get caught in the trap that they can simply exercise more to overcome overweight/ obesity, finding this easier than changing their diet. However, evidence strongly suggests that 40% of those exercising to “normal” weight will still suffer from high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, etc. as a result of poor diet! The so-called “skinny fat people!” Apparently, you can’t outrun a bad diet – make sure you’re taking a balanced approach to your health! The daily headlines always offer conflicting news about what to eat or do to improve health and longevity, but carefully reading between the lines can uncover some universal truths.

Heartless thief steals scooter DISABLED MAN GAVE CHASE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT GETAWAY DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter
Dennis Monts thought it was safe to leave his mobility scooter parked across the street from Langley City Hall last Sunday morning (Aug. 16). He found out differently, after a thief made off with the threewheel Pride Celebrity model under the gaze of the amazed 63-year-old Langley resident. “I couldn’t believe anyone would be that heartless,” Monts told The Times after the incident. A friend was going to give him a ride to Willoughby to do some shopping and he wasn’t going to be gone long. It was around 10 a.m. that they met in the parking lot across the street from City Hall on the south side of Douglas Crescent near 204 Street. He didn’t think his scooter was the kind of item a thief would take, but just to be careful, Monts removed the key from the bright red threewheeled scooter on the parking lot before he got in the car. When he returned less than an hour later, the scooter was gone. A witness told Monts he saw someone pushing the scooter away by hand. As he looked around the parking lot, Monts spotted his scooter, now under power and heading west towards 203 Street and Douglas Crescent. A big man with dark hair and

A Langley man had his mobility scooter, similar to the one pictured, stolen from the parking lot across from City Hall on Sunday morning. a dark sweatshirt was riding it. “He looked like a homeless person.” Monts shouted at the thief to stop, and attempted to give chase. “I followed along as fast as I could,” Monts said. But, with only about 20 per cent lung capacity after working with asbestos during the 1970s, Monts wasn’t able to move too fast and lost sight of the thief around the 7-11 on the corner of Douglas Crescent and 203 Street. He guesses the crook managed to get the scooter into neutral, then forced the key lock to get it rolling. He has filed a theft report with the Langley RCMP and will have to rely on friends to get him around until he can replace
the scooter. “I’ve got lots of neighbours (but) it’s kind of an inconvenience,” Monts said. The stolen scooter is a metallic red Pride Celebrity model electric scooter with a big reflective “Canada” decal on the back and what Monts describes as a “clown-style” horn with an ah-oohga squeeze bulb on the handlebars. Anyone with information about the stolen scooter is asked to contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

It has been one year and 10 months since Langley resident José Figueroa found sanctuary inside the Walnut Grove Lutheran church. In June, he missed his son José Jr.’s graduation. He’s missed birthday parties for his children and two Christmases at home while he’s been inside the church, avoiding Canada Border and Security Officers, who he says are waiting nearby to deport him to El Salvador. With legal bills mounting as Figueroa fights to stay in Canada, the church is holding a “Justice for José” solidarity potluck dinner on Thursday, Aug. 20. Figueroa is urging the community to come out and support his family. Special guest Robert Graham, a singer from Toronto who wrote the song, ‘You are Welcomed Here’ for the international ‘We are José’ campaign, will be there performing the song. He will also spend a couple days with Figueroa at the church. It was in July 2014 that a fed
based on his affiliation with the FMLN party during El Salvador’s civil war. The FMLN is not on Canada’s list of terrorist groups, and is the current governing body of El Salvador. That judge provided no time line for the review to take place so, 13 months later, Figueroa is no closer to hearing when his case will be looked at again. “It is very tiring. Everybody in the family is being affected by the lack of a solution to this problem,” Figueroa said. “But we keep going until the ministers decide to do the right thing, keep the family together and end this injustice.” With the federal election now in full swing, Figueroa believes his case won’t be considered again until the dust settles after the election in October. To learn more, go to the We Are José Facebook page. He was joined inside the church earlier this year by the Juhasz family, a mother and her two teenage boys who are facing deportation to their native Hungary

Question
of the week
Have you/do you plan to attend the Langley farmers’ market at KPU this season?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Imagine if the house next door to you was growing mushrooms or potatoes or some other kind of agricultural crop in the basement. Imagine that there were times when you could smell the odor of fertilizer wafting over
the fence. If you lived in a residential neighbourhood, you might be unhappy about that. You might complain that a house should not be used as a commercial greenhouse. And if you were told the person has a legal right to do what they were doing, you might get upset, just as some people in a Langley neighbourhood became indignant when they found out a house on their street is running a legal grow-op, and that very little can be done about it. Because the grower has a federal licence from Health Canada, the best they can hope for is to get better filtering of the fumes and a safety inspection to make sure the wiring doesn’t pose a hazard. A number of online comments posted since The Times wrote about the Walnut Grove situation have suggested the neighbours have no right to complain because medicinal marijuana is legal and the grower has a licence. Respectfully, they are missing the point. This isn’t a question of pro-pot or anti-pot, it’s about the federal government permitting the growing of a particular plant in residential areas without giving a lot of thought to the potential consequences. It wouldn’t matter if the crop in question was kale, green beans or corn, the problem is cultivation is being carried out in locations that are not appropriate. According to one estimate, when the federal government first started licensing legal medicinal marijuana growing, it issued about 300 licences across the entire country. Now, a few years down the road, there are more than 600 licensed grow operations in Langley Township alone, or roughly one for every 60 houses, townhouses and apartment buildings in the municipality. Many have hundreds of plants. Their locations tend to be a secret until there is a fire or a grow-rip by criminals. Under new federal rules that were supposed to take effect last year, their number was to shrink to a handful of large-scale bulk growing operations that would be banned from residential neighbourhoods. Municipalities across the country prepared for the switch by ordering bans on small grow-ops in residential areas. But all of that is on hold, because the small legal growers objected to being rendered collectively illegal, and managed to get a temporary court injunction. Leaving people like the Walnut Grove residents, who think houses ought be used for housing, in limbo.
A call for reason they
Considering the mixed messages our culture sends about the use and abuse of drugs, it’s no surprise to see the growing abuse of the narcotic pain reliever fentanyl, linked to a growing number of deaths. For instance, alcohol is easily available, and with the ongoing changes to liquor regulations, becoming more available all the time. But make no mistake, alcohol, in all its forms, is a drug. It’s addictive, and can damage the brain, both in the short-term and over the long-term. Withdrawal can be painful and can lead to depression and suicide. Yet, alcohol use is accepted and even promoted in society. And like it or not, performance-enhancing drugs are common at all levels of professional sport. A recent CBC documentary made the point that professional football, as it is today, could not exist without painkillers. At that level, even common painkillers, let alone Oxycodone, becomes a performance-enhancing drug. This isn’t an argument for the legalization of drugs, or their criminalization for that matter. It’s a call for reason. Instead of trying to categorize drugs into good vs evil, let’s instead reinforce the message that anything, not used in moderation, can lead to ill effects. – Black Press

Traffic lights should be first order of business
Slow down on 198 Street detour route
16 AVENUE THROUGH LANGLEY SHOULD BE MADE SAFER BEFORE IT IS MADE BUSIER, SAYS WRITER
Editor: The closure of 200 Street in the City of Langley, I agree, is necessary. But the consequence of it has been challenging. They have directed traffic to 198 Street — a quiet neighbourhood, and completely residential. The traffic is ridiculous. Most drivers, to their credit, do the 30 km/h limit. But there is that 10 per cent of yahoos who travel down the street at speeds as high as 80 to even 90 km/h. So they put in a speed bump. Wonderful — it did the trick. The City took it out less than 24 hours later, claiming it was not legal. Back to square one, and speeders are still ripping past our house. People, please slow down. CLAYTON RANDLE,
Editor: Being a resident of Langley since 1983 I have certainly seen an increase in traffic generally in the community, but more specifically on 16 Avenue. I currently reside in South Langley and cross 16 Avenue many times a day, a week and a month, as well as travelling along 16 Avenue in both directions. The improvements over the years, such as left turn lanes and traffic signals at only a few major intersections along 16 Avenue, have helped to some degree and are appreciated. It has helped, more specifically, with the traffic flow in both directions on 16 Avenue, in my opinion, but has created a significant problem with cross traffic. The left turn lanes have resulted in the increased steady flow of traffic in both directions, resulting in an increased level of risk to motorists attempting to cross 16 Avenue north and southbound, specifically at the major intersections that have no traffic control signals. When there are two vehicles wanting to turn left off 16 Avenue in both directions and there is a steady flow of traffic east and westbound along with multiple vehicles wanting to

A proposal to funnel more traffic onto 16 Avenue has prompted Langley resident Peter Thiessen to suggest the municipality first look at installing traffic lights at all the major intersections along the busy east-west corridor in South Langley. cross and/or enter onto 16 Avenue all at one intersection (which happens frequently) it is a recipe for disaster. Drivers are waiting for traffic to clear in an attempt to cross and/ or enter 16 avenue and are clearly getting frustrated, resulting in poor decision making. With the proposed South Langley Trans Canada Connector through Langley this situation will only get worse. It is understandable that 16 Avenue is required as a major traf-
fic corridor and an economic driver, however I believe the risks that are occurring now should be mitigated first before any expansion occurs. Having looked at the short, medium and long term plans I believe that the first immediate short term steps should be to install traffic activated signals at all major crossings such as 208, 224, 232, 240, 256 and 272 Streets in Langley to allow for the safe travel of those motorists attempting to, most importantly, cross 16 Ave-

nue, but also to enter it. The installation of the traffic signals should be in advance of any medium-term plans and would address some very significant safety issues that are occurring now. We nearly lost our daughter who was attempting to cross 16 Avenue several years ago when she was broadsided by a semi-truck. We are fortunate she wasn’t killed. Others haven’t been so lucky. PETER THIESSEN,
Editor: Writer Sandra Steffan (The Times, Aug. 12) is correct — Port Mann Bridge tolls don’t create a profit. Transportation Investment Corporation is the public agency that manages the bridge and the TReO toll system, and the toll exists to pay for the new bridge and highway improvements. We understand no one wants to see an increase, but Transportation Investment Corporation’s mandate is to pay for the project costs. Tolls are limited to the amount necessary to pay off the debt within the required time frame. Transportation Investment Corporation’s financial statements and executive salaries are public and posted on its website www.pmh1project.com. We are a provincial Crown corporation and the facts are available for everyone to see. IRENE KERR,

The Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove will celebrate its 45th anniversary on Saturday. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. activities at the zoo, at 5048 264 St., will include a finger painting and colouring contest, face painting, a scavenger hunt, bouncy castle, obstacle course, giant slide, children’s performers and more. All activities will take place in the main picnic area, which is in the centre of the zoo across from the baboon and jaguar enclosures. A birthday cake will be served at noon. The 120-acre site opened as the Vancouver Game Farm on Aug. 20, 1970. It was operated as a family business by Pat Hines and his wife Ann, then their daughter Eleanor and husband Hugh Oakes until it was sold to new owners in 1991. The Game Farm then became known as the Greater Vancouver Zo-
ological Centre, adding new animal enclosures, the miniature train, picnic park and other features. In 1999, the name

trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss. Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment.
on school infrastructure. Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67. All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation

Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers. On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these. The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care. The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees. Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both

Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign. They pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not. That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise. First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and

oral health care to heart the door. Some patients have lost teeth due to anxiety and it feels wonderful to provide a completely new experience that they will remember.” In addition to ensuring every patient is relaxed, comfortable and informed, Willowbrook Park Dental offers the latest techniques and technologies in dentistry, alongside a patient-focused approach that always keeps in mind one’s lifestyle and oral health care needs. Aside from regular dentistry such as crowns, fillings, regular cleanings, etc., the practice offers Invisalign and traditional orthodontic braces, Cerec technology (one appointment crowns where the crowns are made in the office) oral sedation, Botox and much more. A child’s first visit to the dentist is an important one. To avoid a lifetime of dental anxiety, phobia and fear, it’s key that one opts for a dental practice with a family friendly environment. Comfort is important – a dentist who goes above and beyond to make their visit a great one will leave a lasting impression on your child. At Willowbrook Park Dental, many
members of the team are parents themselves – they’re more than happy to help and play with younger patients to make them feel at ease. There are also TV’s to keep wee ones entertained and their minds off the dental work. “We love to see your whole family and treat everyone individually; from your child’s first visit, to fillings and orthodontics for kids,” said Dr. Lundt. Willowbrook Park Dental is excited to offer two big promotions for 2015 – one exclusively for new patients and the other for both new and existing patients. “We offer free whitening when you reserve your new patient exam and cleaning,” explained Dr. Lundt. “We are also running a great promotion on Invisalign for $5,295 which includes your initial consultation exam, orthodontic records, all Invisalign aligners, and your final retainers.” For more information about Willowbrook Park Dental, visit www.willowbrookparkdental.com or call 604-530-2828.

Settle Into Fall Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall – Jordan Baker in ‘The Great Gatsby’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald Autumn is the perfect time for change. With the leaves falling and the first chill in the air, fall is a season that brings new beginnings to mind. It is a great time to start new adventures and make positive changes in our lives. It’s time to leave those lazy days of summer behind us and get back into the swing of things. This Fall, things are swinging at Magnolia Gardens. Our Friday Afternoon Concert Series features live entertainment by The Acchords, best known for their outstanding performances at Accordionfest in Chemainus on Vancouver Island... and accordion music isn’t just oom-pa-pa anymore... it’s very lively with lots of variation. We have a wonderful variety of entertainers who come to our building for our residents and their friends and families to enjoy.
Making the move to a seniors’ residence can be a difficult decision. Change can be scary at any age, but this is a positive change. This is a move ‘to live again’. A lot of our residents had been socially isolated, lonely and not eating properly. The move to Magnolia Gardens has taken care of those concerns. “I had been living in a mobile home on my daughter’s property. I didn’t want to be alone so much, so I made the move to Magnolia Gardens when it opened in September, 2001,” says Margaret. “I have been very happy with the decision to make the move — I wouldn’t think of living anywhere else!” “I was tired of my own company. Sure, I had friends and family who I still saw, but everyone has such busy lives,” says Marcia. “I decided to take
This Fall, things are swinging at Magnolia Gardens at the Friday Afternoon Concert Series. my life into my own hands; I visited Magnolia Gardens, checked everything out, met some of the residents and felt quite at home. I’ve lived here since 2006 and I must say, I think it was one of my better decisions. I look forward to every day.”
Remember Duke Ellington’s advice: “It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)”. If you want to get some swing back in your life at a Bria community, contact Jane Bryce, Area Marketing Manager for Langley at 604 514-1210.
Magnolia Gardens is just blocks away from the downtown centre, public library, shops and services. With Independent Living and Care Centre in the same residence, we can accommodate your varying and changing needs.
You’ll like living here! Magnolia Gardens is a community for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun with their friends and families every day. SPECIAL ADVERTISING FEATURE

Helping seniors stay active BY K URT LA N G M A N N
A
n Aldergrove man has designed and built an exercise machine for the physically challenged that has proven successful in rehabilitating both elderly and seriously injured people. Now Al Wolfe wants to take his "PhysioChoice" machine to a broader market. Wolfe first built the machine for his mother, Dorothy, in 2001 when she was in her mid-90s. "I wanted my mother to be able to continue being active," said Wolfe. "She loved to be active in her garden and was finding it more difficult to do so because of the effects of aging and a stroke. The stroke had left her especially weak on one side." So Wolfe set to work, creating an exercise machine that would suit her needs. A machine that was easy to operate without any complicated switches, low-tech so that she wouldn't get confused, with a comfortable chair that was easy to get in and out of. "It was strictly manual at first but later I put a motor in it," said Wolfe.
"I basically cut and put them together," said Wolfe. "I also go to trade shows and hope to develop a market for the PhysioChoice machine. I'm semi-retired and do part-time work, and invest this money in developing a market for my machine. "There is a great need for it, I just have to get wellknown." Wolfe says he's aiming to keep the price below $3,000 for the machine, which is about half the cost of a similar style machine built in Europe. "I want to enable seniors to enjoy a better quality of life in their advanced years and to make the machine as accessible as possible. Accessibility means simple to use physically and mentally, as well as being as inexpensive as possible." For more information contact Wolfe at Wolfe Custom Craft Ltd., email to apwolfe@ physiochoice.com or phone 604-857-2202. ______________________________
"Mom would power it herself for the first five minutes or so, then turn on the motor and let it move her arms and legs for another 20 minutes or so. That way every muscle gets a workout, while she just hung on — it took no effort." The machine engages muscles in both passive and active exercise, and both kinds of movement brings significant benefits. Muscles degenerate when they aren't used. Dorothy passed away in 2009 at the age of 103, but she was able to walk and keep active to the end of her days, thanks to the machine. "She didn't deteriorate as one might have expected her to," said Wolfe. "Her doctor was impressed with her abilities for her age. He was often heard pointing her out to his other patients, saying, 'This lady is 102 years old!'" Wolfe has built a handful of the machines, and has testimonials from four users. He assembles the machines in his little shop, and jobs out the specialty work such as the powder coating, electronics and welding.

Willoughby Park Estates celebrates turning 90 with a tea party for four of their neighbours Julie Ingenthron Julie Ingenthron was born in Saskatchewan May 17,1924. She went to a one-room rural school house. She married in 1942 and moved to Calgary where she and her husband had three children, Shirley, George and Kim. After her husband’s mother died they moved to Surrey where they rented a suite in Guilford for a time. They bought a house in Aldergrove while her husband worked for the Surrey School board. When he retired they managed the Town & Country Apartments situated across from the former Langley Legion. Julie learned to drive only after her husband passed away in 1986. She has seven grandchildren and one great-grandson living in Calgary and Langley. One son is living in Salmon Arm. Now her favourite past time is playing cards, cribbage and whist and on Friday’s she attends the Adult Day Centre to participate in the various activities there. Julie is fiercely independent, feisty and private, but a truly lovely lady.
Nels Vaarjtes Nels Vaarjtes was born in 1925 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the second of five children. He was trained in Heavy Duty Auto Mechanics. When the Second World War broke out, his company was taken over by the Germans. When the war ended he was drafted into the Dutch Army. He then worked for a famous Dutch racing car driver. His contacts led him to South America — a rather adventurous trip on a cattle boat to Buenos Aires. He worked in the racing car business until the political regime of Juan Peron made him decide to flee the country and come to Canada. But because he was coming from Argentina, he was refused entry and had to return to Amsterdam and return with a VISA. He landed in Prince Albert where his young-
The house was rebuilt but when her husband passed away in 1988, she sold that home and moved to Orangewood in Murrayville where she was on the Strata Council for three years. She moved to Willoughby Park Estate in 1996. Her favourite past time is reading-mysteries and historical novels. Jane is a very private, independent person, keeping to herself mostly but always welcoming friends and family.
David Porteous
L-R David Porteous, Jane Kemp, and Julie Ingenthron plus Nels Vaarjtes (not shown) recently celebrated their 90th birthdays at Willoughby Park Estates. photo by Miranda Gathercole er sister was already living. He had married before leaving Europe but Annie died when she was just 62 of ALS. His company transferred him to Vancouver where he met Angela, originally from Barcelona, Spain and now a Canadian. They spent 13 years travelling to Spain, Amsterdam, South America, Mexico and all points in between. His happiest memories are those years that he spent travelling with Angela. Nels has now moved to Sunridge Gardens on Fraser Highway near the hospital
Jane Kemp Jane Kemp was born on Feb. 4, 1925 in Edinburgh, Scotland. She met her husband who was a Royal Canadian Engineer in 1939, the
beginning of the war. Her mother would not let her get married until the war was over in 1945. She landed in Canada on Robbie Burns Day (Jan. 25) in 1946 and settled on a tobacco farm southeast of London, Ontario. Life was tough on the farm in those days — no running water in the house. Wives, not only had to tend to raising their children, but also were expected to help out with the farm chores, in the fields and around the barns with chickens, pigs and of course with stripping tobacco. Jane and her husband had two children. When Jane’s husband was transferred by his company to Vancouver in 1968 they eventually settled in a rancher in east Langley Township. Unfortunately in 1986, this house burned to the ground.
David Porteous was born Dec. 13, 1925 in Dumfries, Scotland. At oneand-a-half years of age his family moved to Northern Ontario to a farm deeded from the British government. His father was a stone mason by trade so his three brothers and three sisters all pitched in to help out on the farm. He left the farm in 1943 to join the Air Force. While spending three-and-a-half years in Montreal he met his wife. In 1945 when he was discharged from the Air Force, they moved back to Timmins, Ontario. After a stint at the Post Office, he went to work digging for gold at Hollinger Mines. His wife’s parents moved to Vancouver and three years and two children later they followed. They moved to Surrey and had two more children. At this time Dave played softball and was an umpire for nine years. He worked for BC Electric (Hydro) as a brakeman, working his way up to motorman on the New Westminster - Chilliwack electric tram line. He moved to Willoughby Park Estate in 1988 and took early retirement at age 61 as his wife had a bad heart. For the next 11 years Dave and his wife vacationed each year in Hawaii until her death in 1995. He met Leona, recently widowed, on the golf course and she has been at his side for the past 14 years. Dave has six children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

‘Feels like coming back home’ LANGLEY A RTIST’S LATEST SHOW REPRESENTS MORE THAN ART MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r t e r
She’s had shows at prestigious galleries in Whistler, in Banff, in Toronto, and Seattle, but lately Nikol Haskova’s heart has been back home in Langley. “I found a yearning to just connect with my community and do more stuff that is less for the galleries and more from the heart,” the artist said from her homestudio in Yorkson. Destination Right Here, the name of Haskova’s new exhibit at the Fort Gallery, does just that. A showcase of contemporary paintings, she has a “realistic approach with added funkiness” using acrylic paint, photos, resin, copper wire, Japanese lace paper, and other mixed media. Most famous for her interpretations of crows, Haskova’s art speaks to the development and rapidly changing landscape of Langley. “I find crows very admirable because they are survivors,” she said. “Especially around the area where I live. Just a rapidly growing, developing area — as is much of Langley and the Lower Mainland right now. “What I’ve noticed is that when all the greenery is gone and the land is flattened, crows are the first ones either to stay or come back. “They’ll steal the construction worker’s lunches, build nests out of discarded wires — they survive.” With a desire to do something that is more personal and community oriented, Destination Right Here is not your typical art display. Rather than simply viewing her paintings, Haskova wants people to feel them and really become a part of the art.
“I want to make it even bigger than that,” she said. “Just more eclectic, more interesting and more hands-on for people that come.” Haskova has a number of events planned through the duration of her show from Aug. 26 to Sept. 13 to make this happen. The first, on Friday Aug. 28, is her opening reception. Although the “first-Thursday” opener is a tradition of the Fort Gallery, Haskova wants to “shake it up.” Featuring a surprise musical act, food from Angie Quaale of Well Seasoned and a pop-up painting easel outside, “it’s going to be spicy and fun and uplifting,” she said. The following weekend on Sept. 6, visitors can join in the art themselves. Haskova will have a “ginormous” blank canvas, donated by Opus Art Supplies, set up outside the gallery for the public to paint on. At the end of the day, Haskova will then take the painting home to blend the public’s paint strokes with hers and auction it online. All proceeds will go to a new lighting system for the theatre at Langley Fine Arts School, where her son is a student. But the real treat is on the final night, Sept. 13. Haskova will be hosting a special yoga ceremony with a guided meditation based on her artwork in the space. Led by Yogi couple Amy and Sean O’Leary, the event will raise money for the Fort Gallery. Limited to 12 people, the session is first come first serve. “I think that’s another shying away from the mainstream for me,” Haskova said. “I’ve gone to many studios in the local area, and I love them. But they

left me yearning for something a little more personal.” That’s why she’s excited to show at the Fort Gallery. “It kind of feels like coming back home,” she said. “The Fort Gallery I really admire because they let their artists shine. “They don’t give restrictions, they don’t shy away from displays in the windows or embracing only one medium — they really let you be yourself.” The Fort Gallery is located at 9048 Glover Road, and is open Wednesday to Sunday from 12-5 p.m. To see more of Haskova’s work, visit her website www. nikolhaskova.com.

Celebrating Multiculturalism ANNUAL LANGLEY’S INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL IN WILLOUGHBY THIS WEEKEND MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti me s Re po r t e r
director of the Langley International Festival Society. “It’s an easier way to educate people and create awareness in the public. When we know the traditions of other cultures, I think we respect them more,” he said. In addition to the main stage performances, this year also features a brand new Seven Wonders of the World exhibit at the International Village. The food pavilion will have food vendors from several different cultures, and at the international market more than 60 vendors will be selling handmade jewelry, clothing, and gifts. For kids, there is a children’s chalet that is hosting dancing, singing, music, face painting and the Fraser Valley Regional Library’s booth for multicultural crafts.
More than 100 performers are taking over the main stage at Langley’s International Festival this year, representing cultures from around the world. A sample of Mexico, India, China, Taiwan, Polynesia and more can be seen, heard, tasted and experienced during the two-day event. Taking place at Willoughby Community Park on Aug. 22 and 23, this is the 15th year the festival has run. And with crowds of 20,000 people expected, it’s also one of the largest years. But this unique celebration is more than just colourful dancing and food, it’s about “promoting community unity to make the community more friendly,” said Dr. Sarwan Singh Randawa, communications
Other activities include an international pavilion, cultural art gallery, rides and a parade of nations. The event is on from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Entrance is by donation at $2 per person, or $5 per family. The Willoughby Community Park is located beside the Langley Events Centre at 7888 200 St. For more, visit www. internationalfestival.

Golfer comes up aces GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports
GARY AHUJA L an gley Tim es
Nine-year-old Annalise Stolzenberg has hit a pair of hole-in-ones in her short golf career, and both of them have come on the fourth hole at the Langley Golf Centre. The first happened in June 2014, and she did it again last week (Aug. 11).
Every golfer dreams about it, yet few actually achieve the elusive hole-in-one. But Annalise Stolzenberg now has two aces under her belt. And she is just nine years old. Even more remarkable is that the Langley golfer did so on the exact same hole both times at the Langley Golf Centre. The first time happened on June 21, 2014. And for that occasion, Stolzenberg used an eight-iron to ace the 115-yard hole. And Stolzenberg did it again last week (Aug. 11), remarkably hitting another hole-in-one on that exact same hole. This time it was her pitching wedge which delivered the decisive blow. Stolzenberg did so last week (Aug. 11) while competing on the Junior Linkster Tour. While she hit the ball well and
knew it would be close to the pin, she didn’t actually see the ball drop in the hole. All she heard was the marshall yelling that whoever shot the ball had hit a hole-in-one. “I was pretty amazed (to do it again),” she admitted. Golf Digest and the National Hole in One Association estimate that the tee shot hit by an amateur golfer on a par-3 goes into the hole one out of about every 12,750 times. So what is Stolzenberg’s secret? Cash incentive, apparently. Prior to her round last week, her mom Elizabeth had offered her daughter $100 if she could bag a hole-in-one. “I was pretty happy about that,” Stolzenberg said about her cash prize, which she used on some new golf apparel. The soon-to-be Grade 4 student at Belmont Elementary has been golfing since she was five. She plays out of the Newlands Golf Course and coach Evelyn Westover.
Benson off to Beijing for world championships LANGLEY MUSTANGS’ RUNNER COMPETING IN 800M EVENT GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
A late starter in her sport hasn’t held Fiona Benson back. While most college and university athletes have a couple of years experience under their belts as they embark on their post-secondary sporting careers, Benson was a rare exception. Growing up in Dawson Creek, a small town in northeastern B.C., Benson loved to run, but her competition and exposure to the sport was limited. She ran a year of cross-country with Grande Prairie Community College before landing in Langley at Trinity Western University. Current Spartans track and field coach Mark Bomba was TWU’s assistant coach back then, but he remembers a conversation he had with Laurier Primeau, who had recruited Benson. “I realized within the first three of working with her (that she had potential),” Bomba recalled. “She started out as a completely raw talent (but) you could see she had the tools. “I sat down with Laurier one day and he asked ‘how good do you think this girl could be?’ “And my words were I think she has Olympic potential.” This was four years ago and Benson is proving her coach true. The 23-year-old left for South Korea on Sunday (Aug. 9) to take
part in a training camp with the Canadian national team ahead of the IAAF world track and field championships, which run Aug. 22 to 30 in Beijing. Benson is running in the 800m. This is her second time representing Canada, having also done so at the 2015 world cross-country championships in late March. “When the Team Canada gear comes and you open the package, that is always a really gripping moment,” Benson said earlier this month, before she left. And she is hoping this is just the first of many times she will wear the Maple Leaf. “I think people saw some potential for me right from the start, but I didn’t think Olympics until this year,” she said. “I want to see how fast I can run.” And this summer has been all about running fast. Benson didn’t run track last summer, but after finishing her schooling at TWU in April — she earned her degree in political studies — she decided to give track one more season, training locally with the Bomba and the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club. Her focus paid dividends almost immediately as Benson had a stretch in June where she set personal bests in the 800m in four consecutive races, three

Fiona Benson finished second in the women’s 800m event at the Harry Jerome Classic in Burnaby back in June. The 23-year-old has had a strong summer since graduating from Trinity Western back in the spring, shaving more than eight seconds of her personal best and becoming just the fifth Canadian to break the two-minute barrier in the event. She is in Beijing representing Canada at the IAAF world track and field championships. times in the span of a week. She capped it off by becoming just the fifth Canadian women to post a sub-2:00 time as she crossed the finish line in 1:59.94 at the Portland Track Festival. She also won the Canadian national title in the event in early July in Edmonton and had qualified to represent Canada at the Pan Am Games in Toronto, but
was late in submitting her declaration forms. And prior to leaving for training camp, Benson ran in the Flotrack Throwdown in Portland on Aug. 8, posting the fastest time in the world this year in the one-mile race, finishing in 4:25.79. That was just a few seconds slower than former Olympian — and Langley Mustang — Leah Pells’
Canadian record of 4:23.30, which she set back in 1996. Bomba sees no reason Benson can’t continue with the national team and run at next summer’s Olympic Games. “She has the combination of endurance and speed. Even her mental make-up, she handles pressure like no one I have ever seen,” he said.

kind of lost our energy on the sidelines, dropped our heads a little bit for a quarter and that really put us in a position where they were able to sustain two drives and put the game out of reach.” The coach said his team needs to focus on making sure they have a positive play following a negative one. The Rams vaunted ground game was held in check as Langley managed just 89 yards on 18 carries, compared to Okanagan’s 289 yards rushing on 18 carries. And with the running game

The Okanagan Sun overpowered the Langley Rams in the second half, turning a close game at the break into a 32-13 victory. The junior football teams were battling at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl on Saturday night in a first-place showdown with the loss dropping Langley to 2-2 while the Sun improved to 4-0. The first half was a defensive battle as the Sun scored on a single and a safety while Langley countered with a pair of short 16-yard field goals from Brian Hope for a 6-3 score at the break. But the Sun would find the end zone three times in the third quarter to blow the game open. “We played a good game and fought hard in the first half,” said Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda. “We had a couple of bad plays happen and unfortunately, with the youth of our football team and the inexperience …. we

not working, Langley wasn’t able to muster much through the air either, as Dylan Tucker and Devoun Hallums combined to go for 12-of-25 for 83 yards and three interceptions. Hallums did connect with Seye Akinsanmi on a 10-yard touchdown pass. Statistically, Langley had a solid game on the defensive side of the ball, although their pass rush — which had 18 sacks through the first three weeks — was held in check with just Jacob Dodd able to get to the quarterback. And the Rams also forced five fumbles, recovering four of them, and also picking off a pass and blocking a kick . “Those kinds of games happen where you are just not able to capitalize on positive situations,” Alamolhoda said. “Unfortunately, that can be attributed to the inexperience and the youth of our football team.” Langley is back in action on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park against the Westshore Rebels.

Langley athletes help B.C. win medal race With the help of Langley athletes, Team B.C. captured the crown at the Western Canada Summer Games. Team B.C. won 134 gold, 85 silver and 61 bronze for a total of 280 medals at the Games, which ran Aug. 7 to 16 in Wood Buffalo, Alta. By comparison, second-place Alberta had 226 total medals. “It is an honour to see so many of you bringing home medals from the Western Canada Summer Games and I look forward to what you can all accomplish in the future for this province and this country,” said Peter Fass-
bender, the minister of community sport and cultural development. A big chunk of the local athletes’ medals came through the water. Emma Harrison won a pair of gold in the female eights rowing events and a silver in the quadruple sculls. She also took bronze in the single sculls. Sisters Meghan and Lauryn Cheung were part of the B.C. team which won a pair of gold in the canoe/kayak K-4 200m and 500m events as well as bronze in the K-4 1000m event. Lauryn Cheung also nabbed the bronze in the K-2
500m. In individual events, Hannah Rolfe (high jump), Pritpaul Johal (50kg wrestling) and Leo Goldberg (judo, 55kg-60kg) all won gold. Goldberg also helped Team B.C. win gold in the team competition. Victor Blaine won silver in the pommel horse as well as helping B.C. win gold in the artistic team gymnastics competition. In track and field, Adam Marshall (1500m), Nick Colyn (3000m steeplechase) and Robyn Buckingham (heptathlon) all took the bronze medals in their respective events. And in the pool, Renae Ledoux

OBITUARIES
PUE, Brenda Susan August 29, 1955 – August 12, 2015 A spunky, fun loving leader of leaders, Brenda Susan Pue made a lasting impact through her work with Arrow Leadership, where she mentored and encouraged leaders from around the world to “Lead More Like Jesus”. On August 12th, Brenda passed over the threshold peacefully while at home. She was 59 years of age. Surrounded by her loving family, and after courageously living with cancer for 588 days, she quietly “slipped into heaven.” Throughout her life, and especially as she faced cancer, Brenda was a woman of courage and faith. Writing authentically about her journey, she impacted many readers who followed her blog (www.caringbridge.org/visit/brendapue). A charismatic woman, Brenda was known for her contagious laughter and winsome smile. Just being around this remarkable Murrayville resident made God seem closer at hand and easier to know and trust. She will be lovingly remembered by Carson, her husband of 38 years, their three boys, Jason (Kristin Paterson) Jeremy (Shari Boileau) Jonathan (Kirstie White) as well as their five beloved grandchildren; Landon, Liam, Mac, Ellie & Georgia. The immediate family is profoundly grateful for all the love and support they have enjoyed over the past 20 months from Brenda’s mom, siblings, friends, and medical professionals. Come join an inspiring Celebration of Life and Hope that will be held on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2015 at 1:30 pm at Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56 Ave. Langley. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully received for two of the ministries about which Brenda was most passionate: Arrow Leadership and Barnabas Family Ministries. Brenda Pue - too well loved to ever be forgotten.
