Fort Langley was the scene of arguably the grand-daddy of all May Day celebrations in B.C. on Victoria Day Monday.

A thin veil of cloud filtered the sun, making for a comfortable day for the several thousand people who lined both sides of Glover Road to watch the longest running May Day parade in B.C. roll past.

Monday morView ning’s seasonvideo & able weather was photos certainly more with favourable than the blazingly hot or sopping wet or online weather of years past.

The parade was just one element of Fort Langley’s May Day. There was lots to see, do, and eat, including a pancake breakfast, may pole dancing, rides and vendors in Fort Langley Park, the Fort Langley Lions chicken barbecue at the Mary Avenue food court, free admission all day to the Fort Langley National Historic Site, displays

Three cars collide

A three-car crash sent at least two people to hospital on Thursday afternoon.

Just after 4 p.m., Langley Township firefighters and BC Ambulance paramedics were called to the scene of a collision in the 20400 block of 72nd Avenue.

The cars had come to rest in the westbound lane of 72nd, just to the east of the intersection with 204th Street.

Two people were taken to hospital but were expected to survive.

Distraught man surrenders to ERT Negotiations with a potentially suicidal Langley man ended peacefully.

On May 16 Langley RCMP and the regional ERT converged on a home where a man was barricaded inside.

Roxanne Hooper/Langley Advance

By Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

After four hours of negotiations, police discussions with a distraught man in Langley City Thursday night ended without incident.

A 27-year-old man, who Mounties described as potentially suicidal and potentially armed, surrendered to police.

“It came to a peaceful resolution,” Sgt. G.L. Saundry confirmed on site as Mounties disbanded, including those from the general duty and plainclothes divisions of Langley RCMP, Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, police dog service, and crisis negotiators.

Saundry could not confirm if firearms were found.

Langley RCMP were called shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday and told a man had barricaded himself in his residence in the 19800 block of 50A Avenue.

An inner perimeter was set up and staffed by ERT members, while Langley Mounties maintained what Cpl. Holly Marks described as an “external perimeter” around the quiet subdivision just north of Brydon Lagoon.

Police were in communications with the man by telephone, and he peacefully surrendered some time after 8 p.m.

Saundry called it a medical issue, and explained that the man was not arrested. He also confirmed paramedics were on scene.

Police confirmed Friday that

no one was physically injured in the incident, and the man was taken to hospital for treatment.

Speedway

Visit to park planned before Speedway decision A proposal to restart racing in Campbell Valley Park has been put in neutral.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Metro Vancouver’s Environment and Parks Committee gave a big “maybe” to the idea of auto racing in Langley’s Campbell Valley Regional Park on Thursday.

The committee members, councillors from around the Lower Mainland, voted to defer a decision on re-opening the Langley Speedway until they get more information.

“I think it’s a philosophical question we’re trying to answer first,” said Coun. Bob Long of Langley Township, a committee member.

The question is, is auto racing compatible with other uses of the park, such as horseback riding.

The next step would be either voting down the proposal, or asking Metro Vancouver staff to do a detailed analysis of the proposal. An analysis would be costly, so the committee is going to visit the site first, and talk about it further at a May 30 workshop. They will also be seeking more information.

The idea was brought forward after Metro Vancouver asked for proposals that would generate some revenue.

However, it immediately became a lightning rod for criticism from other Campbell

Langley Centennial Museum

The Langley Speedway was a popular racing venue from the 1960s to the 1980s, but the grandstands are long gone and covered with grass and trees.

Valley park user groups, in particular horseback riders.

Supporters have tried to convince the committee that auto racing can be a part of the park, and Murray Jones of the Langley Speedway Historical Society, presented 1,100 letters of support for the plan to the committee. Jones said that track rules could include limits on sound levels of vehicles, including through mufflers and catalytic converters that have come on the market in recent years.

At present, there are no large-scale revenue generating projects operating inside Metro Vancouver parks.

In the early 1980s, before the Speedway was shut down, it gave 10 per cent of ticket sales to the regional district, then known as the GVRD, Long said.

The Speedway is a 3/8 of a mile track located just past the end of 208th Street south of 16th Avenue. Built in the 1960s, it hosted a variety of types of racing, and boasted seating built into a natural slope above the track.

The track was shut down in the mid1980s. A few years ago, the Langley Speedway Historical Society was formed and partially cleared the grandstands of invasive blackberry bushes and repaired some of the barriers around the track.

A small army of volunteers have torn apart an Aldergrove home and the results were to be revealed on Monday. Watch for the full results of the reveal in Thursday’s edition.

Charity

New home A-OK On Monday afternoon, Cathy Dunn and her two sons got their first look at their rebuilt home, two weeks after the Acts of Kindness volunteers started tearing it apart.

Dunn is the latest recipient of Extreme Home Repair in Aldergrove, a project organized by the Seventh Day Adventist Church in partnership with a host of volunteers and local business sponsors. A homeowner in need of some serious renovations and upgrades, who has financial or personal difficulties, gets their home gutted and rebuilt from the ground up.

A block party celebration was held May 20 to mark the completion of the project, which included mold removal and a new roof. This is the 10th year of Extreme Home Repair in Aldergrove.

Theft

Gems found after tip leads RCMP to suspect

A man is facing charges after he was caught with stolen goods.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A sizeable cache of stolen jewelry was found when Langley RCMP searched a suspicious car.

On March 31, Langley RCMP officers were called out to the Langley-Surrey border in the 19600 block of Fraser Highway.

A witness had called to report seeing a man break into a parked car, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

Police found the vehicle with a smashed window,

and spotted a car the witness had described, and behind the wheel was a man who matched the description of the suspect.

Police arrested Jesse James Kipps, a 30-year-old Surrey man, who has now been charged with michief, possession of break in instruments, and theft under $5,000.

Inside the car, police found electronics, jewelry and sunglasses. Most of the jewelry has no serial numbers, and police are now looking for the owners of dozens of items.

Theft victims can visit langley.rcmp-grc.gc.ca to see images of watches, necklaces, earrings and other items.

The RCMP are looking for the owners of jewelry, a watch, medallions, and numerous small items.

FREE sunglasses!

A stolen necklace is one of the items recovered by Langley RCMP.

Democracy… a good thing Now that the dust has settled and everyone has had a chance to catch their breaths after what – for many, at least – was a breath-taking election night last Tuesday, it’s a good time to consider some of the positive things that the entire election campaign gave us.

For one thing, it gave us, as all free and open elections do in our blessed part of the world, the sweet taste of democracy.

While we’re disheartened that so few people partook of that heady bouquet, those who chose not to vote exercised their rights, and as such, they, as much as anyone else, earned the Email with government that will lead us through the next four years.

That’s how democracy works… and it’s a good thing – certainly better than the alternatives.

Indeed, democracy is so much better than the alternatives that millions of people around the world would literally die to bring to their own countries.

Another positive that came out of the election campaign, is that we will be represented by the best possible people in Victoria.

We chose them, and they represent the majority of hopes and wishes for our province, for our communities, for ourselves, and for our future.

That’s democracy, too.

And that, too, is a good thing.

But let’s not forget those who stood for election, despite having been able to garner more support than their successful opponents.

All of the candidates who put their names forward for election are people who believed strongly enough in their visions for our communities that they offered those visions for all of us to share.

That sharing of ideas and ideals of service is no less important an aspect of democracy than the final outcome of the vote.

And that, too, is a good thing.

Congratulations, all!

Omg, lol, get off the fone

decided to turn left where there is no turning lane, and I had to slam on my brakes to stop him to the from turning straight into my driver-side door.

The final occasion still puzzles me. A minute after that third near-accident, a young woman of about 20 decided to honk, scream, flip me off, and nearly run me off the road, apparently for the offense of doing the speed limit on 216th Street instead of the 90 km/h that she just had to do.

A quick message to Langley’s drivers: get over yourself. Whatever you are doing is not nearly important enough to risk the lives of your fellow human beings. Try, however difficult this may be with apparently limited mental capacity, to think of the big picture.

And finally, pay attention. You are operating a motor vehicle.

Omg, lol, get off the fone.

Appreciation

Post-crash responders impressive

Dear Editor, Recently, a rather large truck knocked over a street light before plowing through a retaining wall on my property on 88th Avenue. Thank God no one was hurt.

Police, firefighters, ambulance, and Township crews were all in attendance that night. It was no small job to redirect traffic, clean up the diesel fuel, tow the truck out of the retaining wall, remove the street lamp, and clean up the sidewalk so that it would be safe to walk again.

I was amazed to see the street lamp replaced less than 48 hours later!

I spent the next few days with phone calls and emails, back and forth with insurance companies, anxious to be rid of the eyesore and reminder of how unsafe a sidewalk can be.

To my surprise and delight, I happened to hear the sound of shovels at the front of the house and discovered a Township crew

B.C. election

Green threatens NDP future

Dear Editor, Some attribute the astounding BC Liberal election win to the success of their ads attacking the NDP. But those ads only worked because the public has a lingering unease about the NDP, the ghosts of its socialist history, and its ties to the labour unions.

The Liberals played on those fears. But aside from that, the Liberals clearly did a much better job of getting out their message, while the NDP did not have much of a message. They talked about change, but change to what?

The other big story in the election is the Green Party.

Not only was their first MLA elected, their leader Jane Sterk performed well, and in 12 ridings, the Green vote was strong enough to split the vote and deny the NDP a win.

I wonder if the Green Party will grow to replace the NDP as the choice for progressive voters in B.C. Bill Masse, Langley

B.C. election

NDP deserved second finish

Dear Editor, The NDP lost this election because they are poor managers of the province’s economy [Dyson, Mercier make do with second place, May 16, Langley Advance].

Everyone in this province who is over 35 years of age knows how bleak things were 15 years ago under their rule.

Adrian Dix also committed fraud. For the NDP to vote him into a position of leadership says a lot about them. As my great aunt always tells me: forgive, but never forget!

Dear Editor, Unfortunately, it’s not only loud “music” and speeding car enthusiasts that pollute the roads as badly as their carbon emissions pollute the environment [Summer sounds send off sanity, May 14 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance].

On at least four occasions since the sun has come out, I have almost been killed on the streets of Langley.

On two of those occasions, older women, grandmother-looking types (which for some reason makes it worse), have sped into the roundabout near my home without looking or even slowing down. It was only my hyper-vigilance, my close inspection of the drivers’ eyes to see they weren’t paying attention, and my decision to slow down despite having the right of way that saved me from totaling my car and sustaining serious injury.

busily working, cleaning up and putting the retaining wall back together again.

Only the day before, I had a landscaper come to provide an estimate on repairs, and I needed to obtain several more estimates before I could proceed with the insurance companies.

After chatting with the crew, I called up the Township to try and get more information about property lines and clarification on who would be responsible for repairing what. After some initial confusion as to which department I should be talking to, I was transferred, and I must admit that I was fully expecting to be passed around from department to department, leaving a stream of unanswered voicemails in my wake.

But instead, I spoke with Greg Mayer, who knew exactly what I was talking about. How refreshing it was to speak to someone who genuinely seemed to care about how our streets and sidewalks look, and how to work together to fix a problem in a practical and efficient way. In a few short days, the retaining wall, garden, and rock bedding had been repaired by friendly, efficient crew members, and it looks beautiful.

I wish to publicly thank the Township for all the wonderful work they do, and especially for the work they did at the front of my property, and most importantly, for the way they carry out their work with genuine care.

Charity barbecue

Legion cooks chicken to help out veterans The Legion in downtown Langley City will have the grill fired up next Saturday.

The Royal Canadian Legion Langley Branch 21 is doing the cooking on May 25.

Money raised from its chicken barbecue fundraiser will support Legion programs that assist veterans and others in need in the community.

The event, open to the public, will start at 6 p.m.

Tickets are $12 and are available at the Legion, 20570 56th Ave., or by calling 604-534-3615.

Legion membership is not restricted to veterans of the World Wars and their families. All sol“The Legion needs diers, such as those new members to involved in Afghanistan and other modern continue to provide conflicts, as well as its many worthwhile members of the Royal programs and Canadian Mounted Police, can join. In fact, services.” any man or woman David Brocklehurst aged 19 or over can join the Legion as a general member, and need not have served in the military or be related to someone who has.

“We would really like to see police officers and other first responders, people in the community, anyone interested in having a place to enjoy social events and companionship join the Langley Legion,” said Branch treasurer David Brocklehurst. “The Legion needs new members to continue to provide its many worthwhile programs and services, and we would love for the community to show their support by joining us.”

For 86 years, the Langley Legion has been providing support to those who risked their own lives in times of conflict, while also helping everyone from youth to seniors.

The Legion is a non-profit organization that does not receive any government funding. It relies solely on membership fees to operate and all money raised by volunteer members – such as through the annual Poppy Campaign and fundraising events – goes back into the community.

Last year the Langley Legion raised and donated more than $80,000 to six local organizations.

The public is encouraged to help by participating in events such as the upcoming chicken barbecue, bingo nights, and pancake breakfasts, or by becoming a Langley Legion member.

Farm field transforming into park A new park was the site of this year’s Arbour Day tree plantings.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

One of Langley’s newest parks is to bear the name of one of its oldest roads.

The tentatively named Old Yale Park, on land located at the corner of Old Yale Road and 224th Street at the edge of Murrayville, was the site of this year’s Arbour day tree planting events.

It is also the beneficiary of a $15,000 grant this year from the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, for planting 150 new trees.

While the land has been owned by the Township for some time, it is slowly transitioning into a full public park.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

An empty field is slowly becoming another park for Langley Township.

The exact design and shape of the park has yet to be decided. It currently lacks signs, official trails, and only has parking for the community garden area.

During Community Arbour Day, Township of Langley council planted several trees in the park, to commemorate people who made significant contributions to the community and passed away over the past year.

Commemorative trees were planted in honour of: • Eric Bysouth – Rotarian, community activist, and dedicated volunteer; • Iris Preston – philanthropist, musician, wife of former Langley Township Mayor George Preston; • Constable Adrian Oliver – Surrey RCMP officer who was killed on duty;

• Ruth Bakken – longtime Langley resident and mother of the Township administrator Mark Bakken; • Thomas Farquhar – Langley pioneer, 1992 Langley Senior of the Year, and photographer; and • Ian Strachan – accomplished businessman and a former Township councillor (1980-1982).

A tree honouring Langley pioneers who passed away last year, and whose achievements helped make the community what it is today, was also planted by council.

Two more parks are slated to start construction later this year. Routley Neighbourhood Park is to start at 198th Street and 70th Avenue, and South East Yorkson Park will be built next to the new Richard Bulpitt Elementary School.

Who says that Changing, or Starting a New Career has to be Stressful?

I’m excited to tell you that I have just embarked on a career as a licensed professional Realtor with Macdonald Realty - one of the oldest, and most prestigious real estate companies in Greater Vancouver.

I did a lot of homework, and spoke to many people, in, and outside of the business to determine what path, and brokerage would work for me.

Macdonald Realty was easily my first choice because of the value that they place upon training, and supporting new Realtors. This was perfect because I wanted to speed up the learning curve as I stepped onto this completely new career path.

DAVE STARK

Extensive training from the company, together with in-house mentoring, and a very supportive team of Realtors have made the transition for me, and my family, a smooth and stress free one.

I would be pleased to share my personal perspective , experience, and answer any questions that you may have about joining me at Macdonald Realty.

A message from

‘Tis the season for Farmer’s Markets!

Christina

Destination Specialist

Both the Langley Community Farmers Market and the Fort Langley Village Farmers’ Market are now open for the season! Visit both markets from now until early October to enjoy local farm produce, farm fresh fruits and berries, delectable baking, artisan crafts and much more. On Wednesday’s from 2-6pm at the Kwantlen University Campus you will find more than 30 vendors that “Make it, Bake it or Grow it”. You can also visit the garden of the Bedford House Restaurant in Fort Langley every Saturday between 10am and 3pm for some food tasting and live music while you shop. By shopping at a local farmers market you will know exactly where your food is coming from, can taste the freshest and tastiest fruits and veggies available, and it also provides the opportunity to connect to your community, support family farmers and enjoy the season. A 100-mile diet is definitely possible in Langley, but you might be surprised to find that many of the farmer’s market products originate within only 10 miles.

Music is in the air, and now is your chance to groove and dance the night away in Langley. Catch the June Award winning Canadian rock band Chilliwack, live at the Cascades Casino Resort on May 23rd in the Summit Theatre.

Maybe melodies and harmonic numbers are a bit more your style, or you’d like to bring the kids along, then check out the Langley Community Chorus’ 2013 Spring Concert, “A Musical Menagerie”, where you will hear tunes about animals, rousing numbers, comedy tunes and more that the whole family will love.

It seems that it’s also car show season! A Mustang Spring Show is scheduled for May 26 and a Pontiac Show n’ Shine on June 9th, both to be held at the Cascades Casino Resort and the NY Grill and Bistro is holding their first annual Show and Shine also on May 26th.

Every season provides a reason to celebrate in Langley and this is no exception. Contact the Visitor Centre or a hotel directly to book your stay!

• Four sibling teens, Loretta, Duane, Michael, and Sheree Homan, received certificates of appreciation from local RCMP for turning in nearly $1,800 they had found on the road on their way to school. Furthermore, the man who had lost the money gave each of the youngsters a $100 reward.

The recovered money was a bank deposit that had fallen off the hood of the man’s car, where he had inadvertently left it when he left his business.

• Charges including arson were laid against a 16-yearold male in connection with the Feb. 22 fire that destroyed Langley Central Fundamental School, but the youthful suspect was still at large.

Manning family photos

Never too young Keenan Manning raised $7,000 and had his head shaved at a school assembly April 26 at Topham Elementary. Attending the event was Rolly Fox (green shirt), father of the late Terry Fox. The funds will go to the Terry Fox Foundation and Keenan even donated his long hair for use in wigs. Keenan (above) was sporting a huge smile after having his head shaved. The 10-year-old cut off his long hair for use in wigs for cancer patients and used the event to also raise money for the Terry Fox Foundation and its innovative research.

2013 YOUR GUIDE TO HEALTHY LIVING IN LANGLEY...

Education

Students never too young to help a sick friend Nicomekl Elementary showed its support for kidney health.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Nicomekl Elementary School cakewalk is an old-fashioned fundraiser that will help fund very modern health care.

The event on May 2 was the entire school’s way of working together to support a family in the school community. The event raised more than $600 and the funds were earmarked for the Kidney Foundation.

Aidyn Delorme is only five and requires kidney dialysis three times each week so the family heads off Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to BC Children’s Hospital.

“Our normal is the hospital,” mom Danielle said.

In September he’ll join his older brother at the school to start kindergarten but in the meantime the family awaits the call that will change his life.

Flippers water polo program making waves An Olympic sport that incorporates aspects of hockey, basketball, soccer, and handball is being offered in Langley this summer.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

There is room in the pool for kids who want to try an Olympic sport this spring and summer.

The Langley Flippers water polo program is pooling boys and girls players together in the U10, U12, U14, and U16 age divisions.

Program director Grant Coleman said depending on availability, some players may have an opportunity to play up a division at tournaments.

“There are cases where one might actually play in both the U12 and the U14, or the U14 and the U16,” Coleman said.

“That’s not out of the ordinary.”

Ingrid Bird photo The proKevin Mitchell, a 2008 Canadian gram is led Olympian and co-founder of the by head Fraser Valley Water Polo club, is coach Kevin heading up the Langley Flippers Mitchell, water polo program. a 2008 Olympian, and assistant coach Nav Sohi.

Mitchell was part of the Canadian Olympic men’s water polo team that finished 11th out of 12 teams in Beijing.

“The big kicker for us is that, for the first time ever, we won the game to qualify for the Olympics,” Mitchell said. “We made history there.”

Canada defeated host Romania to earn a spot in the 2008 Games.

Mitchell – a former coach with the men’s national team program and former head coach of the first National Development Centre in Vancouver that consisted of the best athletes in BC U18 – has a decorated water polo resume.

He has won one gold and one silver at the U18 national championships, was named Most Valuable Coach in Canada at the 2011 U18 men’s national championships, and as a coach, has a bronze medal to his credit from the U16 national cham-

pionships, all with Fraser Valley Water Polo (FVWP).

For Mitchell, water polo is a family affair. His brother Justin is part of the national women’s coaching program, and he and his brothers (including his other sibling Ian) started the FVWP club seven years ago.

Based out of Walnut Grove Community Centre, FVWP has the goal to encourage the growth and development of water polo in B.C., Mitchell said.

Sohi, who started playing at 12, had immediate success. In his first year he made the provincial team and was coached by Ian Mitchell. He also won a gold medal with FVWP at the U16-18 men’s national championships.

The Flippers currently have rising water polo star Matt Halajian, a FVWP athlete, volunteering his time to help coach before he joins the junior national team later this summer.

Halajian’s goal is to play in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the 2020 Olympics with the Ingrid Bird photo Canadian Nav Sohi is the Langley Flippers Olympic Water Polo program assistant team. coach. Sohi won gold with the Kelsey Fraser Valley Water Polo club at Hum, who the U16-18 men’s nationals. played high performance water polo with FVWP and attended the U18 nationals twice, rounds out the Flippers’ coaching staff.

The 31-year-old Mitchell, who started playing water polo at age six and called it a career at 29, is directing his efforts into growing the Flippers’ program.

Mitchell said when he and Sohi resurrected the Flippers water polo program in 2010, “it was dead in the water.”

Flippers’ water polo started with just three players, grew to 22 last year, and Mitchell figures even more will sign up for the program this season.

“We have broken that registration record this summer,” said Mitchell, who believes water polo will grow in the Langley area.

The four-year plan is to fill all four age divisions. That would equate into 52 players.

There’s plenty of room for more players this season to play against teams from

The Langley Flippers’ co-ed water polo program continues to grow, since its inception in 2010.

Surrey, North Delta, Vancouver, Burnaby, Haney, and Abbotsford.

Last year the Flippers won several gold and silver medals at many tournaments in the BCSSA and are currently looking to

medal at the provincial championships at all levels this year.

Medals and success aside, Sohi said water polo has a lot to offer new athletes. continued on page A25…

Lightning strikes for B.C. title Langley is home to the U21 provincial women’s soccer champions. On May 11, Langley United’s Lightning travelled to Victoria to play for BC Soccer U21 gold against CCB United. In the first half, the Lightning jumped out to a 3-0 lead with goals from Isabella Lord, Sydney Gobin, and Sydney Raison. A determined Surrey team pressed in the second half and scored a pair of goals, but Langley held on to a 3-2 lead to win the cup.

The game MVP award went to Sydney Gobin. Many of the players have been with coach Tom Radomski for many years.

Sportsmanship takes precedence …continued from page A24

“It’s the fun, the excitement in the water, the team camaraderie,” he said. “It takes an aspect from each different sport.

You have a little bit of basketball, a little bit of soccer, a little bit of handball, a little bit of hockey, and sort of combines it into one [sport] in the water. The kids seem to absolutely love that.”

Mitchell said sportsmanship is first and foremost at the beginner levels.

“The referees are really good, so it’s safe,” he said.

“We just want kids to get involved, have some fun, and play some water polo.

The basis of this level is to have fun and learn the sport.”

And while strategy is a big part of the sport, Sohi said in the younger age divisions, water polo is structured in an incremental way.

“When we coach, it’s really segmented in its level,” Sohi said.

“When kids come in, they start at a lower level, they learn some things, and then we build upon it, so whatever athlete comes in at whatever level they’re at, we teach them certain things and they progress along the way, so there are a lot of learning opportunities.”

Mitchell added, “people stay because they love the atmosphere.”

Dragon boat racing

FLCC crew speeds to win The Fort Langley Canoe Club’s Fast & Furious dragon boat team edged out all other boats in the 200m sprint at the False Creek Women’s Knockout last Saturday, May 11.

With less than 50 metres to go in the race, Fast & Furious continued to gain

at every stroke to take the lead in a very exciting fourth and final knockout round.

When they crossed the finish line, the Fort Langley crew won by a 14th of a second, taking out the best of the bunch.

The win kicks off Fast & Furious’s racing season on a positive note.

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.

entral Langley’s landscape has changed dramatically over the past four decades.

North of the Fraser Highway, the Willoughby slope, a once lush-green hillside lined with trees and dotted with single family rancher-style homes spaced comfortably apart from one another, has morphed into chock-a-bloc townhouses, rowhomes and condominium developments, halted only by the presence of Highway One. Strip malls and car dealerships fill the rest of the low lying areas, while Brookswood and Campbell Valley – where horses and cows still have room to roam and graze – remain the last bastions of “old” Langley.

Another constant in a community affectionately known as the “Horse Capital of B.C.” is Thunderbird Show Park, recently ranked No. 2 among the top 25 show jumping venues in North America by the North American Riders Group (NARG).

Thunderbird was established in 1973 and is currently celebrating its 40th year in the equine business in Langley.

In 1970, George and Dianne Tidball purchased property at 200th Street and Highway One, approximately where the Colossus Theatre now stands.

Soon after the purchase, construction began on a new riding arena, two stable buildings and two outdoor riding rings which would host the George first show and Dianne (quarter horse Tidball, pictured show and in 1950, started team roping) Thunderbird in the in 1972. early 1970s, with Jumping the first hunter/ horses soon jumper show followed with in 1973. the first hunter/jumper show just a year later.

By 1998, development was closing in on the property’s prime location. This prompted the decision to redevelop the property and close down the equestrian centre permanently. continued on page B7…

T-Bird encompasses 82 acres …continued from page B6 “We moved in the year 2000 as we ran out of space on the previous 22 acre site at 200th Street,” Thunderbird president and tournament director Jane Tidball said, adding, “The hardest part of leaving the old 200th Street site was leaving the Keg Steakhouse & Bar behind, which used to be attached to Thunderbird’s indoor arena. It was always a highlight to the shows in the old location to finish off the day with a Keg experience.”

The current facility at 24550 72nd Ave. covers 82 acres, with a maximum capacity of 900 horse stalls.

“We have miles of riding trails at the new facility in addition to spectator amenities and food services,” Tidball said.

For 40 years now, Tidball noted, Thunderbird has been growing to become one of North America’s premier show facilities.

“We are a family owned and operated business dedicated to providing unsurpassed quality, excellent service, and the most memorable equestrian experience for our guests whether they are sponsors, exhibitors, spectators, or

A fairly recent aerial view of the 82-acre Thunderbird Show Park. officials,” she added.

The facility was built by combining the vision of George and Dianne with the expertise of equestrian landscape architect Robert Jolicoeur – International Equestrian Design (IED), whose credits include the equestrian venue for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.

Jane Tidball remarked that, as B.C.’s largest show jumping facility, and one of the premier competition venues in North America, Thunderbird “provides a premium experience for those who love equestrian sport.”

“From pony rides to Olympic-calibre competition, Thunderbird Show Park is committed to every level of

competition,” she said. “Our goal is to create an experience that is both unique and entertaining for every person who steps on to our show grounds. It is an environment where kids can interact with their heroes and entire families can come to have a good time.”

Thunderbird’s biggest change of late is the addition of two state-of-the-art German Geo-Textile and silica-sand jumping arenas that provide Olympic-calibre footing.

As well, one of the upcoming highlights this year is the return of the RCMP Musical Ride to Thunderbird Show Park, Aug. 23-25.

Glitzy Grand Prix Hollywood North came to the Thunderbird Show Park last August when episodes of the Real Housewives of Vancouver were partly filmed at the Langley equestrian centre. Real Housewives cast members, including Jody Claman (wearing sunglasses) visited Thunderbird on Aug. 26, 2012 to watch world-class equine show jumping during the $100,000 Canaccord Genuity World Cup. The reality TV show airs on Slice and Global.
