The 17th edition of the Langley Good Times Cruise-in arrives this Saturday in downtown Langley.

And excitement is building.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the final day for advance registration, a total of 702 entrants had signed up for Cruise-in, with many more expected by the 5 p.m. deadline.

That’s up from the 636 from last year.

After Wednesday, anyone not Kelly McPherson and Carole signed up ahead of time can do Borgens are among the on Cruise-in Saturday.

“Things are building. One of the best things in world that

While he’s looking forward to Saturday, Taylor is just as eager to be able to relax late Sunday afternoon, with another Cruise-in in the rearview mirror.

Pickets up at schools, no end in sight No new talks are scheduled between teachers and provincial negotiators.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Langley teachers continue to walk the picket lines, picking up from where they left off when the school year ended in June.

And parents are left trying to figure out child care with schools not in session.

No new talks are scheduled and over the Labour Day weekend mediator Vince Ready said the two sides remain far apart.

B.C. teachers are asking for a 13.7 per cent pay hike over four years, plus a cost of living increase. In terms teacher pay in the rest of the country, B.C. sits mid-pack but this province has a higher cost of living.

They are also asking for class size and composition changes,

citing court decisions that sided with them and not the provincial government.

The government wants a contract that omits the court rulings.

Before the school year ended, the provincial government offered a $1,200 signing bonus.

Instead, teachers opted escalating job action.

The average teacher has lost approximately $5,000-6,000 in salary due to the strike, which has so far cancelled 14 days of school.

Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender held a press conference Wednesday, the first time Clark has commented since the labour dispute began.

Clark said teachers can end the strike which they chose to start.

She urged the BCTF to suspend the strike and return to the bargaining table so students can go to school.

Clark contends that teachers want an unrealistic $5,000 sign-

The government is not waiting out teachers, said Fassbender.

RCMP search for punchy foursome in truck Four men throwing beer cans from a truck may be involved in a hit and run.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A hit and run left a Langley man in the hospital Friday night, and local Mounties are now asking more witnesses to step forward.

Police were called just before midnight to Gabby’s Country Cabaret on Fraser Highway, where a man had been run over in the parking lot on the nightclub’s north side.

The 55-year-old man, on foot, had been hit by a gold 2003 Ford F350. He apparently suffered injuries to his legs, but is expected to survive.

The victim had apparently been in some kind of physical

fight with the occupants of the truck just before he was hit, said Cpl. Holly Marks, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Police said there were believed to have been four men in the truck, all of whom were behaving aggressively, starting fights, and throwing beer cans from the vehicle.

After the hit and run, the truck left the scene, and was later found in a parking lot in Fort Langley.

It has been seized by police and is being examined by the Lower Mainland Forestinc Identification Services. Police have also identified the registered owner of the vehicle, said Marks.

The RCMP released descriptions of three suspects, all Caucasian men in their late 20s.

The first is 5’9”and was wearing dress jeans and a white golf shirt. The second was 5’7”,

about 160 to 170 pounds, wearing beige rugby pants, and white checkered dress shirt, and a “Michael Jackson” style hat. The third is 5’7”, about 160 pounds, and has dark hair, a peach fuzz beard and moustache, and was wearing blue jeans and a black

T-shirt.

Anyone who saw the incident or related incidents that night, and who has not spoken to police, can call the RCMP at 604532-3200, or to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Over the Labour Day long weekend, Langley RCMP dealt with 10 drunk driving files that led to various roadside driving bans.

Four drivers were handed three-day immediate roadside prohibitions, for blowing over 0.05 on a roadside breath test.

Another six drivers were tested and handed 90-day bans on driving. A 90-day ban is typically handed out when a driver blows over 0.08 blood alcohol content.

One driver refused to provide a breath sample and was given a 90-day driving ban.

Charities get boost from car show

The newest charity partner of the car show finds drowning victims.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Once the last car has driven off into the sunset, the most important part of the Langley Good Times Cruise-In is upon the organizers: handing out funds.

Every year, the volunteer-run and organized Cruise-In distributes tens of thousands of dollars to charities, most of them based in Langley.

In 2013, the CruiseIn donated $54,000 that came from registrations, raffle tickets, and In-N-Out Burger meals to a list of 15 charities.

Core charities this year and last include the Valley Therapeutic Equestrian Association, PuCKS, the Boys and Girls Club, and the Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Core charities this year will also include the Langley Community Services Society and the Douglas Community Elementary Society.

The newcomer to this year’s list is a charity that

Money from the CruiseIn will help them get towards their goals.

“The funds will go directly to the purchase of equipment,” said Ward, or to training.

Training is tricky – operating an underwater ROV or towed sidescan sonar requires a lot of experience and knowledge in specialized software.

The core of the society are all people who knew Kingsborough and Wilson, or who knew other people who died in similar tragedies, noted Ward.

“It’s kind of unbelievable how many people have been touched by tragedies that are so close,” Ward said.

Members of the society will be out helping with parking at this year’s Cruise-In, and they’ll have a booth near the Frosting Cupcakery on Fraser Highway, where they’ll have their remote operated vehicle on display.

Langley Good Times Cruise-in

Enjoy the British invasion

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

On Cruise-in Saturday, look for a row of LAMBs parked in Douglas Park.

LAMB is an acronym for Langley Area Mostly British Motoring Club, and for the past 10 years, club members have been regulars at the Langley Good Times Cruise-in, the large annual charity event.

LAMB past president Carole Borgens has taken part in the Cruise-in since the first year the club began showing cars.

The club’s participation has grown, both in the number of cars shown (there were roughly a dozen cars in 2013) and the size of its display at Douglas Park.

“It’s grown beyond just cars,” said Borgens, who is taking her 1990 XJ-5 Jaguar V12 to Cruise-in. “We really push our members to understand the joy of the day, and to come out into beautiful Douglas Park. It’s very social. You see people that you don’t see any other time, you’ll see them at the shows.”

The Cruise-in charities keep LAMBS members coming back. One-hundred per cent of all proceeds, including funds collected from vehicle registrations, are funneled back into the charities.

“We are a Langley-based club, and that’s our way of giving back to the community,” Borgens said.

LAMB’s charity of choice is Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley, and proceeds from the club’s annual St. George’s show in Fort Langley goes to the group that pairs children with adult mentors.

Cruise-in allows LAMB members to

show support for other causes.

Club member and webmaster Marty Ross plans to display his Morris Minor, with a “cutaway” engine, in which people can see the inner workings of the engine.

“It’s very interesting for the public to have a look at,” Borgens said.

LAMB member Kelly McPherson is showing his four-speed, 1979 Triumph Spitfire.

The Spitfire is one of seven English collector cars that McPherson owns, the oldest being a 1958 TR3, which is on schedule for a full restoration.

“I came out of the Corvette world and drove a little English car, and never looked back,” McPherson said. “It became an addiction.”

The appeal to McPherson is simple: “They’re fun. They’re a fun car to drive, they’re easy to maintain. Everything about them is simple.”

And while the forecast calls for sunshine, the potential of rain won’t keep McPherson and most of the LAMB members away come Sept. 6.

“We’re rain or shine, most of us,” Borgens said. “English cars by their very nature [are driven in the rain] and if you’re going to own one, you pretty much have to have that mind set, don’t you think?”

Borgens said the beauty of being in Douglas Park is the LAMB cars are behind ropes, safe from baby buggies and “things that can scratch your car,” so members feel comfortable leaving them and venturing into downtown to take in all the sights and sounds of Cruise-in.

“You have to see what’s out there,” McPherson added. “That’s the whole flavour of the show. We’re only one lick of the ice cream.”

Not all will get $40 strike fund

The provincial government has rolled out its $40 per day program for children aged 12 and under. Parents of children from kindergarten up to around the end of elementary school can start applying for the funds – though of course the money won’t show up until after the strike is over.

If the government actually gave out that much to every parent of a public school child, it would cost about $12 million a day, or most of the cost of running the education system.

Of course, Finance Minister Mike de Jong is canny enough to know that he won’t be digging into the public coffers for quite that much.

Some parents are not going to collect the money. The bulk of it will go to those parents in the middling middle class – your typical household in which both parents work and their 1.5 kids could always use more cash for hockey equipment, dance lessons, college fund top-ups, and maybe daycare.

On the top end, there are parents who make enough money that going through the hassle of the government registration process just isn’t worth it. There are also parents who owe back taxes or other fines – the government will confiscate your share of the Parent Support fund if you’re behind.

Worst, though, is the fact that some people are going to slip through the cracks at the bottom of the economic ladder.

There are a lot of parents in this province who are doing everything they can to provide for their kids, and still barely scraping by. Some parents work two or three jobs.

Some are recent immigrants with limited English literacy. Some are single parents.

Some are all of the above.

For those parents, the extra money would no doubt come in handy. But navigating the bureaucracy will be tough. We’ll be very interested to see what this program costs the government.

Coal port okayed without adequate assessments

Dear Editor, While perhaps no surprise that Port Metro Vancouver has rubber-stamped approval of its tenant Fraser Surrey Docks (FSD) becoming a conduit for American thermal coal on its journey to Asia, it is shortsighted for several reasons.

The public, by a 3,500to-six margin in December 2013, submitted comments, based on wide concerns over lack of environmental and especially health assessments not being completed.

Port Metro’s response was to delay approval and state it would require FSD to do further health review.

Nothing in the current announcement suggests the review done behind closed doors answered the concerns. Many concerns surrounded the need to include the recommendations of Fraser Health Authority, Vancouver Health and BC Provincial Health for a full Health Impact Assessment.

Port Metro and Fraser Surrey Docks ignored this

request.

A study replicating the same conditions of the FSD proposal, done in Seattle by Dr. Jaffe of the University of Seattle, resulted in significant health concerns over the extensive impact of coal dust and diesel particulates.

Elevated cancer and lung impairment risks were some of the findings.

We expect business to be conducted, however it is incumbent upon those proposing large scale enterprises to carry out full scale

and independent assessments of the health impacts.

We only have to look at the devastation from the Mount Polley mine disaster to see the consequence of not doing due diligence.

A normally restrained Canadian electorate is growing weary of this lack of government oversight.

People should remember that, in spite of this being under Port Metro auspices, our provincial Ministry of Health and our Ministry have the authority to call

for a review if there are perceived threats to the public.

Neither Health Minister Terry Lake nor Environment Minister Mary Polak chose to advocate for the municipalities representing approximately 40 per cent of our population, through which coal in open cars will be transported then barged to Texada through an area of the Fraser River never before having coal – an area in which our increasingly fragile fisheries industry will be more at risk.

What you’re telling us on Facebook

Courts still have to weigh in on issues

Dear Editor, As a retired teacher, I have been pleased to see more letters supporting the aims of teachers. Hopefully, the provincial government will finally settle the current negotiations.

I believe that the province will go on to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada when their B.C. court appeal is denied. So what happens if the Supreme Court rules against them?

It was recently suggested that an overall income tax of three per cent would put things educationally back to the 2002 classroom standards.

I would much prefer that the 2002 tax cuts which got us into this mess were rolled back. We might even consider a surcharge on those who benefitted from the cut.

Every child in the B.C. school system since 2002 has been significantly shortchanged in their education. It would

be easy to monetarily quantify this. It screams for a class action law suit.

It can be argued the provincial government acted maliciously and capriciously when it tore up the teacher contract. Teachers gave up a salary increase for better class conditions.

Do you think a judge would be so inclined as to award punitive damages in a class action suit?

John Howard, Aldergrove

Hey, trustees

Dear Langley School Board of Trustees, Very disappointing once again that government is not willing to put more money into public education after over a decade of cuts. They continue to say in the public that “negotiations are about compromise.” Teachers have compromised a ton. Government is not

being truthful at all in public.

As trustees of public education, I urge you to please be vocal to government and in the media that more investment dollars are needed and essential. You are fully aware of the impact of the cuts over the past 10 years in Langley. Other districts have been even more dramatically affected.

Ken Tannar, Yorkson CC SD 35 board, Langley Advance

Great memories of you... are you still at REMSS? We are all discouraged these days but nevertheless let us not give up hope.

rhetoric, the likelihood of the new school year starting without schools rose, as well.

This was the mood on Facebook: Robert Eby – The teacher situation is a shame, they are asking for extreme benefits, and are way out when asking for their demands. We as taxpayers are paying the taxes for their salaries even though they are on strike, my 7 y.o. (almost 8) might have to repeat 3rd grade if things don’t go well.

My friends who have grade 11 & 12 students as children, are going to have to pay the taxes for the teachers and pay for extra education for their children so as to keep up with their educational goals.…

I believe that there is no other public employee that enjoys such a lavish benefit package.…

I believe enough is enough, if they don’t want to take the offer the Gov’t has given them, legislate them back in now and save our children’s education and our tax dollars.

We must hold politicians accountable for inaction in the face of the need to carry out proper assessments. To ignore this moves us further along the path of governmental unaccountability.

For a democracy to function effectively, it requires citizen action. A spectator sport it is not.

Survivor fave visits Langley

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Organizers of the Langley Good Times Cruise-In breathed a sigh of relief this month after they got the word that a popular burger joint will be coming once again.

In-N-Out Burger is an American chain without any brick-and-mortar stores here in B.C. But for the past several years, it has had a presence at the Cruise-In, with a food truck serving the chain’s popular eats to the crowd.

“They are such a popular part of our show,” said Cruise-In president Eric Taylor.

This year, recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program threatened to keep the truck out of the country.

The epic lineups for the In-N-Out also help fund the main purpose of the Cruise-In: funding local charities.

The Cruise-In organization pays part of the costs

Langley Advance files

In-N-Out Burger is always a huge draw at Langley Good Times Cruise-In. of bringing up the crews of burger flippers.

But In-N-Out gives Cruise-In a $2,500 cheque towards their charities, and it’s actually the Cruise-In organization that sells the tickets allowing hungry visitors to claim a burger.

“At the end, we end up with about $10,000 in our hands,” said Taylor.

As Cruise-In is completely volunteer run and non-profit, that makes up a good chunk of the cash

going to good causes at the end of the show.

The issues have since been smoothed over.

It’s been ruled that InN-Out will be allowed to bring in its workers for a one-day charity event.

Taylor said there had already been a lot of comments and questions on the Cruise-In’s website about whether the burger chain would be returning.

They’re expecting to sell 1,500 tickets this year for In-N-Out burger meals.

There is just never enough room for all my rambles. But if you go to our website, the online version of today’s column will tell you a little about the business aspect of Langley Good Times Cruise-In and a hot tub car, among other things.

In the meantime, I have to share a little tidbit of celebrity gossip with you, too.

Rupert Boneham, of Survivor fame, is coming to Langley this weekend.

Clipper Street Scrapbook Company, at 105-6360 202nd St., is hosting a tie dying demonstration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6, followed by a meet-and-greet, from 7 to 10 p.m., at the Hampton Inn & Suites on Langley Bypass, both featuring Boneham.

Old car lover excited to perform at Cruise-in

A Neil Young tribute band will entertain Saturday at the bandshell.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

N

eil Young impersonator Roger Potter fondly remembers his first car, a 1967 Pontiac, Beaumont he bought for $500 and fixed up with his father’s help.

Of course, that car is no longer. Part of Potter wishes he still had the Beaumont.

But failing that, he said there’s a slight chance he’ll find a replacement at this year’s Langley Good Times Cruise-in. That is if the old car lover has time – between his shows on the Douglas Park bandshell – to check out the hundreds of automobiles that will line the streets of downtown Langley Saturday during Cruise-in.

The 50-year-old Cloverdale singer and guitarist who’s also prone to picking up the harmonica on occasion, started a band called Live Rust back in 2007 as a tribute to one of his heroes in the music industry, Neil Young – someone he describes as a fellow car lover.

This band – whose music, Potter said, is popular among the classic and hot rod car aficionados – is the newest addition to the Cruise-in’s entertainment roster.

And the four-piece band is scheduled to perform four different, 40-minute sets, at 11 a.m., noon, 1, and 2 p.m.

Bass player and singer Jim Brown, guitarist and singer Phil Derksen, drummer and vocalist Tim Blanchet, and Neil Young tribute artist (guitar and vocalist) Roger Potter make up Live Rust, a band performing on the bandshell stage at Douglas Park for four sets between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. – for Saturday’s Langley Good Times Cruise-in.

“We’re going to be covering everything from the first band that made [Young] famous, which was Buffalo Springfield (1956) up to the 1990s with Crazy Horse… We’re going to cover four decades of music,” Potter elaborated.

At age 11, he started teaching himself guitar. In short order, people started tell-

ing him he had a style similar to Neil Young. While Potter had heard of the man, he admitted he wasn’t a fan.

That all turned around for Potter when, at age 14, he received Young’s triple album, Decade.

While he broke onto the music scene at age 15, playing cover tunes in Ontario

bars, it wasn’t until he moved to B.C. in 1995 that Potter began thinking of setting up a tribute band to his idol.

With prompting from a friend, he heard a Young impersonator out of Maple Ridge.

Convinced he could “do a better job” he started Live Rust.

While there have been a number of changes through the years, Potter’s been playing with the existing band members for the past two years, and describes their synergy as nothing short of “magical.”

Adorning a flannel shirt like Young’s and pulling a felt hat down over his head, Potter said many audience members commend him for his realistic Young sound – even if there isn’t much of a physical resemblance.

“We try to look the part,” Potter said.

“But it’s all about the music. That’s the most essential part for us.”

Potter has seen Young perform live 24 times and admires not only the man’s talents but his perseverance. Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter who first emerged onto the music scene in the early 1960s and who is still on stage at age 68.

Potter hopes he too can still be performing at that age. He last saw Young in 2007, but said his favourite concert of all time is still the Live In A Rusted Out Garage tour in 1986 at the former Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

He vowed to give the Cruise-in audience just a taste of what won him over all those years ago.

Seattle motorcycle stunt team proves a major crowd pleaser

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

L Langley Advance files

The Cossacks motorcycle stunt team returns for Langley Good Times Cruise-in again this year.

angley’s Martin Brown was attending the annual motorcycle oyster run in Anacortes, Wash. a few years back, when he stumbled across a gem. No. It wasn’t a pearl.

It was the Cossacks Motorcycle Stunt and Drill Team.

That’s when he first witnessed the riding antics of the Cossacks. And it was at that moment when the vice-president of Langley Good Times Cruise-in knew he had to bring the Seattle-based riders to Langley for the annual charity car show.

“I… thoroughly enjoyed watching the classic motorcycles in action with the performers displaying strength and stamina

to make six people on one bike look effortless,” Brown said, calling them a “major crowd pleaser.”

Following a few calls and emails, the invitation was extended to the Seattlebased motorcycle team to show off their skills at last year’s Cruise-in.

Not surprising for Brown, their actionpacked show in the Cascades Casino parking lot was a huge hit.

“My favourite moment was seeing a big crowd laughing and delighted by the Cossacks antics,” Brown elaborated.

The stunts, vintage motorcycles, and applause have been going on for more than 70 years, but Capt. Sam Chedester admitted that until last year’s Cruise-in, it had been more than a decade since his team had performed in B.C.

Pre 9-11, the Cossacks did a lot of shows in the Lower Mainland, Chedester explained, suggesting Cruise-in might have re-ignited the team’s interest in performing north of the 49th Parallel.

“We’ve always had a great reception up here from Canadians,” he said, noting a contingent of 14 riders attended last year, and at least a dozen are expected Saturday.

“We were excited to actually come back, and it went quite well. Now, we can’t wait to come back,” said Chedester, a Cossacks rider for the past 23 years.

Given the popularity of the team, Brown said it was a ‘no-brainer’ to invite them back again. This year, they’re performing three shows on Sept. 6, 10 a.m., noon, and 2 p.m., in the casino parking lot.

Surf rockers ‘Hang-Ten’ Keeping the energy high and the crowd engaged is the name of the game for the HangTen Hangmen.

by Ronda Payne editorial@mrtimes.com

A new act on the stage

by Cascades Casino will keep visitors to Cruise-In singing along, entertained, and dancing on Saturday.

The Hang-Ten Hangmen will be taking the stage at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m.

According to Martin Brown, one of the CruiseIn directors, they are a great fit for the car culture.

“If I had to describe [them], I’d call them rockabilly mixed with ’60s surf tunes,” Brown said. “They are a very high energy group.”

Brown noted the CruiseIn organizers wanted to add another musical act to run between the motorcycle stunt shows at the casino stage area, which is opposite the Cascades hotel entrance between the fountain and the hotel part of the building.

“They are a very fun,

The Hang-Ten Hangmen will bring a diverse range of ‘60s inspired music to Cruise-In, along with a pair of go-go dancers. energetic group,” Brown said. “They play things like the Beach Boys to some older rock and roll and even have a go-go dancer who travels with them.”

Expect instrumental music from the ’60s akin to The Surfaris or the Ventures along with “hot rod” style tunes. Plus in

addition to their matching outfits and matching instruments, there will be hot rods by the stage to complete the look.

“They like to get the crowd involved,” Brown said. “They are very upbeat and also very accomplished musicians.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

On September 11, 2014, emergency personnel from the Lower Mainland and upper Washington State will converge at Peace Arch. Five first responders who were at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001 have been invited to attend. A crowdfunding campaign has been started to pay for their transportation costs. Monies will also go to Honour House, a refuge for ill or injured emergency personnel.

uring the past two years, John Dykstra and his fellow band members have been scribing hot rod themed songs.

It wasn’t intentional, it just “kinda” happened, he explained.

“They’re songs that bring you back to cruising in the car,” said the 41-year-old Walnut Grove singer and songwriter, who’s excited to be perform at the charity car show in Langley this weekend.

It’s those hot rod songs, plus many other original rockabilly tunes that Dykstra and the rest of the five-member Six Gun Romeo band will be performing as part of the Roadmen Car Club sideshow at the Langley Good Times Cruise-in Saturday.

Six Gun Romeo came into being about four years ago, spawned from a what Dykstra calls a surf rock quartet called Lost Camino. Its members wanted to launch a second band that focused more on rockabilly ditties.

Unbeknownst to Dykstra, the band was casting around for a lead singer. They coincidentally came together and jammed one night, wrote a few songs, and decided to form what is now known as Six Gun Romeo.

They will perform three shows in the parking lot behind Frosting Cupcakery – Fraser Highway at Glover Road – at 10:50 a.m., 12:50 p.m., and 2:45 p.m.

Long-time Cruise-In director Watts looks back

Lori Watts, with the Langley Chamber of Commerce has been part of the car show since it began.

by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

F

or 18 years, Cruise-In has been an important part of summer in Langley with the ability to take in everything to do with automobiles right in the downtown core.

A show this size takes a lot of planning and organizing and one member of the board brings more than expertise.

Lori Watts, with the Langley Chamber of Commerce, also bring longevity and consistency to the board. She has been part of the planning team since the show began.

When asked where the biggest changes have occurred over the years, Watts responded that it has been the marketplace, in her opinion.

“The marketplace has grown to where I think it’s fantastic,” Watts said. “It’s lots of people and being able to use the casino lot has been fantastic. I think that’s the biggest change we’ve had.”

Cruise-In is well known for having every kind of car or truck possible on site. From Model As to muscle cars, classic Pinto wagons to hot rods, everything lives together in harmony at this show.

“I think the thing that’s so appealing about the show is that it’s everything,” Watts noted. “It’s not one brand of car.

It’s everything mixed in all together and we’ve always said: ‘If you’re proud to show it, we’re proud to have it in the

show.’”

Even those vehicles that may be undergoing restoration find themselves at home next to completely redone custom models.

Something else Watts has enjoyed seeing over the years is attendees of early shows returning year after year.

“We see a lot of men bringing their sons out, which is really nice,” she said.

“I’ve had a teenager tell me that his dad has been bringing him all his life. We really like to see that.”

Some attendees are in their early and mid 20s bringing cars from the ’70s and ’80s.

“It may not sound old, but they are to these kids,” Watts said of the ’70s and ’80s models. “And that’s what it’s all about.”

What has kept a former non-car enthusiast on the board all these years?

“I guess probably the first reason is that I have met some amazing people, car guys, who I would have never met in my life, and they’ve become really good friends. I like to do it for the charity aspect, too. I like to give back.”

Watts now has her own classic car and said organizing the show becomes part of your life. In the early years, the poster artist would include Watts’ dog or cat in the poster.

“That was in the early years. I wasn’t interested in cars and the artist used to put my dog in. People have asked, ‘where’s the dog’ and I tell them the dog is still with me, just not in the poster,” Watts said.

Those who have been coming for years and newbies alike will find something to enjoy at Langley Cruise-In.

LIVE ABOVE IT ALL

Art show corrals top talent The West Fine Art Show will support the Langley Hospice Society.

Murray Phillips [left] and close friend, coorganizer, and fellow artist Brian Croft, host the West Fine Art Show at Thunderbird Show Park.

by Ronda Payne

news@langleyadvance.com

The West Fine Art Show is coming to Langley for its fifth annual event this weekend.

Artist Murray Phillips and his friend, co-organizer, and fellow artist Brian Croft are honoured to have the Tidball family open Thunderbird Show Park to the show that was previously held in southwest Surrey.

The West is a collection of some of the finest artists in a variety of mediums.

It was Phillips’ desire to bring together exceptionally talented Western Canadian artists that launched the show five years ago.

Together, Phillips and Croft are pleased to be putting together their fifth show which has special significance.

This year’s show will see partial proceeds of art sales go to the Langley Hospice Society, where Phillips’ wife Betty received support prior to her passing in June 2013.

Phillips has named this year’s show Remembering Betty in her honour.

“So Betty lived her dying well and Langley Hospice was there all the time caring for us in remarkable ways,” noted Phillips. “We invite you to be part of this way of Remembering Betty.”

“The new venue and location will allow an increase in the number of artists onsite and utilization of the fabulous timber-framed structure that Thunderbird has utilized to host a number of events throughout the year,” Croft noted.

There is no fee to attend or park, and the event kicks off on Friday at 7 p.m. with emcee, and long-term supporter, Red Robinson. Friday night’s festivities will wrap up

at 10 p.m. after Phillips’ introduction of artists, remarks by Shell Busey and music by John Gilliat on flamenco guitar.

Saturday runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with Shell Busey’s annual pancake breakfast 9-11 a.m. Sunday and music by Exit 58. It runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Jewelry, painting, sculpture and more will be on hand with the featured artists: Murray Phillips, Gaye Adams, Paige Albrecht, Craig Benson, June Bloye, Carmel Clare, Bryan Coombes, Brian Croft, Lalita Hamill, Bill Higginson, Tammie Hunter, Mark Hobson, Michael King, Loretta Kyle, Doug Levitt, Kim Penner, Olga Rybalko, Esther Sample and Joe Smith, as well as four emerging artists.

Questions and answers

The seedy side of lawns

In the Garden

by Anne Marrison

Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca

Dear Anne,

“My lawn has suddenly turned into a huge patch of moss and white clovers after all this hot weather? I have completely no grass left. What’s the secret to having a green, nice looking lawn? Also how can I level my lawn and reseed it so I get even coverage. How can I stop the seed from washing away?”

I

Sandy Lai, Belcarra

t’s most likely the grass on your lawn has gone dormant from drought. But when this happens, the grass roots are only dormant. When we get regular rain this fall, you may find your grass growing again and greening-up.

In future, if you always mow with a long cut (so the grass is about 3” or 7 centimetres tall), you may find your lawn suddenly looks a lot better.

Setting the lawnmower for a high cut is an important key to having a nice, green lawn.

When the grass is taller, there’s more surface to each grass leaf. This means it’s better able to feed itself through photosynthesis – and among longer grass, moss and clover will be largely hidden.

So there’s a possibility that if you wait for fall rains, you may not be forced into major lawn work.

I suspect your moss is thriving where the clover is weak and the clover is doing well where the moss is weak. Moss grows best in shade, while clover loves sun.

Dolomite lime sprinkled on lawns will kill moss and feed your lawn as well. But moss can’t be permanently removed anywhere a lawn is very shady. In partial shade, the moss is weak and a healthy lawn of grass easily out-competes it.

It’s best not to try to remove the clover. It has very deep roots and is resistant to weed-killers.

More importantly, clover is such a good natural fertilizer for grass that many grass seed mixes deliberately include clover seed.

Clover is a nitrogen-fixer that transfers nitrogen from the air and stores it on its roots where grass feeds on it.

If your lawn really does need work, this should be done this fall when nature provides the moisture for grass seed to grow.

The lawn soil is probably compacted and bring-

ing in a machine to aerate it would add oxygen to the soil and discourage voles which make tunnels under lawns. Voles, and to some degree moles, are a major cause of uneven lawns.

Their sub-surface excavations gradually collapse the soil in some places and not in others.

Grading machines can level lawns quickly and efficiently. But this is no substitute for aeration which boosts the supply of oxygen to plant roots.

An alternative to machine aeration is plunging a garden fork into the lawn about 12” (30 cm) apart all over.

The next step is bringing topsoil in. Try to rake it evenly all over.

When you seed, try scattering the seed in parallel lines all over the lawn, then scatter it again in parallel lines going across your original lines.

When it’s all sown, the seed won’t wash significantly if you cover it lightly with straw. This also helps keep it safe from birds. But try to get straw that contains little or no weed seed.

by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

About three months ago the Langley Cruise-in souvenir stand popped up. Not in the usual location, but online at www.langleycruisein.greystoneshop.com.

Promotional items for the car show underwent a complete makeover at the hand of Ken McKenzie and the team from Greystone Promotional Products in Langley. McKenzie also built and launched the site which will ensure Cruise-in souvenirs can be sold throughout the year and fans of the show can get exactly what they want.

“We helped them rebrand their Cruise-In brand,” McKenzie noted.

“We wanted to do that as a favour.”

Having been the provider of the souvenirs for Cruise-In for the past four years, McKenzie knew what items needed to stay a part of the collection and what needed to be added.

“In the past years, they’ve had one shirt with the poster,” he said. “This

year there’s five or six different designs and the poster shirt and key chains, mugs, and hats. We think they are really cool T-shirts.”

With the online sales, McKenzie says the one-day event becomes a year round celebration. Plus, because all products have been chosen for quick delivery, customers get what they want in a timely fashion.

The physical Cruise-in souvenir stand will take its usual place at the corner of Fraser Highway and 204th Ave. and will be open during CruiseIn until 5 p.m. or so, or until items are sold out.

“All the money goes to them [Cruise-In],” said McKenzie.

“Because we care about the Cruisein we created this solution, this online store, absolutely free.”

The team at Greystone will be manning the booth with Bridget Black managing the busy one-day operation.

Although not all items available online will be at the booth, McKenzie assures there will be a healthy selection.

“If you want to sell products and market a brand as important as Cruise-in at a one-day event, it’s a challenge,” he noted. “We’ve been planning this for the last three

months. We’re bringing the best selection [to the booth].”

Also sold at the booth will be the Cruise-in membership which allows digital access to the event overview, photos, follow-up, and interaction for car enthusiasts. Find out more about membership at the Cruise-in souvenir booth.

“It’s a one-day event and it’s very energetic and very focused,” McKenzie said. “They are a very organized operation. We want to make the experience at the souvenir booth even better this year.”

Starter keeps Langley Speedway memories alive

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

S

unday, Sept. 7 is a day when motorsports enthusiasts can take a drive down memory lane in South Langley.

Larry Olson, the Langley Speedway Historical Society’s events coordinator, is bringing rare memorabilia to the society’s eighth annual reunion and car show at the former Langley Speedway site on the southernmost tip of 208th Street.

The reunion runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include some of the speedway’s former drivers, pit crew, track staff, fans, and visitors.

Olson, who served as the

speedway’s official starter from 1969-77 – over which time he flagged more than 9,000 races at the 3/8ths of a mile oval track – will have on display an artifact never seen before at a LSHS event: the original poster promoting the NASCAR races that came to Langley Speedway on July 2, 1971.

He’s also bringing along the speedway’s official starting flags from 1971 and 1972 (“They were both flown to end the race at NASCAR,” Olson said), as well as a 1964 B Modified V6 race car once owned by popular driver “Black” Jack Cross.

The car, which the LSHS puts on display at parades and other local events and car shows, changed hands a few times before being donated to the society by the Victoria museum.

All told, 12 displays filled with pictures, posters, and memorabilia will be shown at the reunion, which is free and open to the public.

FC wins on its home turf Langley FC’s Tripat Sandhu along with a Port Moody player tracked the bouncing ball during Monday’s U16 girls final, on the final day of the Langley FC Labour Day Tournament at Willoughby Community Park. Langley, which finished with a 2-1-1 record, won the final 1-0 in a penalty shoot out. “I thought the girls played great overall.

We had a rough first game Saturday but kept improving over the weekend,” said Jamie Plowman, coach of the Langley FC U16 girls gold squad. “It was nice playing against quality teams, especially the Port Moody team. They were a real challenge for the LFC girls and [we] stepped up to take the shoot out win.”

North Langley opened the scoring early when Jacob Stebbings found Andy Hanlon in the endzone for a 10 yard touchdown pass.

Later in the first half, Stebbings took the ball in himself for a touchdown on a one-yard run from scrimmage.

The Niners answered back with a touchdown of their own after a long third quarter scoring drive, but they had no answer for Bailey or running back Pablo Wigwigan, who each scored second half touchdowns on the

Junior football

Rams put Broncos out to pasture Langley bounced back from its first loss of the season in a big way, by trouncing the visiting Kamloops Broncos at McLeod Stadium on Sunday night.

If there was ever a statement game at this juncture of the season for Langley’s junior football team, this was it.

The Langley Rams eviscerated the visiting Kamloops Broncos 70-24 in B.C. Football Conference action Sunday at McLeod Stadium.

“I thought they [the Rams] played great. They came out with a mind set and focused to win, but I do think that we pushed ourselves above and beyond our emotional state and took some penalties,” said Rams head coach (and new dad) Jeff Alamolhoda, whose wife Lisa gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday. “But overall the men played well and focused more for that game.”

The Rams’ needed a bounce back win after falling 52-44 to the V.I. Raiders the week before

in Nanaimo. It was the Rams’ first loss of 2014 after opening the season with three straight victories.

The loss to the Raiders showed the Rams that they need to come ready to battle for four quarters of football, and can’t have any lapses, their bench boss noted.

Early last week, the Rams held a players-only meeting to refocus in preparation for the Broncos.

“I think there is an awareness that, every week, if we don’t come prepared, and don’t come focused, other teams will take it to us,” Alamolhoda said. “We can’t nonchalantly approach games. The results [against Kamloops] spoke for themselves. The men got back

to the grindstone.”

The Rams are now tied atop the BCFC with the Okanagan Sun (both with 4-1 marks) after handing the Broncos (3-2) their second setback of the campaign.

On Sunday, Langley led 15-3 after the first quarter, 32-10 at the half, and 60-24 after three quarters before scoring the only 10 points of the final stanza to win in a romp.

Rams running back Mario Narte had a huge game, carrying the ball 13 times for 156 yards and three touchdowns from 30, 19, and three yards out.

Ryan MacDonald, who racked up 121 rushing yards on 12 carries, also scored a touchdown on the ground for the Rams.

Quarterback Dylan Tucker led

Langley’s air attack by completing nine of 12 passes for 126 yards and three touchdowns.

Two of his touchdown throws went to Kyle Pich (for 16 and 15 yards), with the third going to Malcolm Williams (for nine yards).

Langley’s Daniel English returned a punt 86 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, giving the Rams a 53-17 lead.

The home team’s final touchdown came off a 77 yard interception return from Clovis Lumeka.

Rams kicker Steve Thomas was good on both of his field goal attempts.

Next up for the Rams is a visit to Kelowna’s Apple Bowl, where they will take on the Sun on Saturday in a battle of the top two teams in the BCFC. “It will be a challenge for them to see if they can continue to play at a high level for 60 minutes,” Alamolhoda said.

“When you face a team like the Okanagan Sun, who are a formidable opponent, you can’t have lulls, and you can’t have down times. You have to play hard out football. We have to be able to execute the way we want to execute.”

Langley returns home on Saturday, Sept. 13 to take on the Valley Huskers, with a 7 p.m. kickoff at McLeod Stadium.

Defences dominate …continued from page A22

Although the Niners started off very strong by scoring a safety on their first play, the Bears’ huge defensive line kept them back, creating a very close game.

The offensive highlight for the Bears came during the third quarter, when Ethan Bernardin carried the ball 95 yards for a touchdown, making the score 8-6.

Defensively, the Bears forced two key turnovers, the first one being a Ronil Chand interception in the first quarter and the second coming off a fumble by the Niners in the third quarter, with Ben Pascoe recovering the ball.

Brandon Brynjolfson, Carolos Tede Kopp, Dakota Jenkins, and Vincent Paulicelli made some big tackles that held the Niners back.

In the second quarter, Dakota Jenkins sacked the quarterback for a 19-yard loss.

Quarterback Michael Huggins completed a pass to Evan Rees, giving the Bears a first down in the third quarter.

Brandon Brynjolfson went airborne to tackle a Mission player, preventing the Niners from scoring their second major of the day.

In the fourth quarter, Brynjolfson took a hand-off and rambled downfield, but was taken down just before he got to the end zone.

The Bears return to action Sept.

WIN: A $1,500 DESIGNER NURSERY

Dreams are made of…

The goal of the Ultimate Garage Giveaway is right there in the name – putting together every tool and piece of equipment possible for an amazing home workshop.

Attendees at the Langley Good Times Cruise-in can buy tickets all day, and the draw for the goodies is one of the last events before everyone drives on home. Ticket holders have to wait to find out who will get almost $20,000 worth of equipment.

The responsibility for the Ultimate Garage was originally split between three tool companies, but a few years back Lordco, based in the Lower Mainland, was asked to take on the big job alone.

Every year, Mike Coates, manager of the Langley store, starts working two months in advance of the Cruise-in to put together the complete set of tools.

While there are some similar items, but there is variation in each Ultimate Garage.

“This year I went a little heavier on the paint and body side,” Coates said.

The equipment ranges from the commonplace to the expensive and specialized.

There’s a sizeable $1,200 air compressor, several giant toolboxes, a MIG welder and welding helmet, a 12-tonne hydraulic shop press, and an engine crane.

Mike Coates of Lordco put together a $20,000 garage prize package that includes an air compressor like this one, along with dozens of other pieces of equipment.

There are a host of powered hand tools – everything from drills to sanders to paint sprayers. There are socket sets, rivet tools, pliers, and a trouble light.

There’s even a selection of soaps for cleaning up after working on the engine all day in the shop.

While the Ultimate Garage event is a nice bit of exposure for Lordco, that isn’t the real reason Coates puts in so much time every year getting everything ready.

It’s really about the char-

ity aspect. The money from the raffle will go to local charities that benefit all year long from extra funding provided through Cruise-in.

“That’s what drives me the most,” said Coates.

Tickets are on sale now at Lordco’s Langley City location at 5825 200th St. Coates said there is a fair bit of interest from around the Lower Mainland, due to the reach the Cruise-in has with local car enthusiasts. Tickets cost $10, or $25 for three.

About 8,000 people will wander around the parking lot of Kwantlen Polytechnic University starting at 8 a.m. on the Sunday morning after Cruise-in.

And thanks to them and the vendors also taking part in the Swap Meet and Car Corral, local charities will see extra funds and some students will get help to attend KPU. Sunday events have become a key component of the Langley Good Times Cruise-in.

“Last year I’d say we had probably

8,000 [people] through,” said Lori Watts, who oversees the Sunday events.

It also attracts about 150-200 vendors at the swap meet and lots of vehicle sales.

Proceeds from the Car Corral and Swap Meet are divided between the Cruise-in and the Kwantlen Polytechnic University Foundation which provides funds to students who might not otherwise afford post-secondary education.

The event brings in about $6,000-$8,000 in funds for charity.

There’s free parking at KPU’s Langley campus for the Sunday events which run 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Admission is $2.

Swap meet vendors are charged $20 per stall (per parking spot). The Car Corral fee is $20 per vehicle and sellers can set up and sign up.
