Langley is one of three sites in the province with pickets this week as the labour dispute between B.C. teachers and the provincial government continues. Starting Aug. 25, pickets were up in Langley, Kamloops and Vancouver. Rob Ashby has taught with the Langley School District for 25 years and was outside his workplace, the Langley Education Centre, on Monday. “I’m getting a lot of support,” he said when asked what friends and acquaintances say to him. “I think that people understand that this dispute is about class size and composition, mainly composition.” School is scheduled to resume Sept. 2 but hopes are not high that a settlement can be reached before the start of the new school year. Ashby said he hopes the support for teachers continues and said people see through the government’s plan to provide $40 per student per day as long as classes are out. “I think the government’s $40 per day to keep kids out of school was perceived as a bad move,” he said. He’s also critical of the suggestion he’s heard that taxpayer money go to subsidize Playland, a business, to provide people a place to take their children. Ashby noted that teachers have come down on their wage demands but are still strident about class size and composition, willing to give up pay to make their point and take the financial hit. “The longer I stay off of work the less money I have for my family,” he said. The B.C. Liberal government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation remain in a stalemate, and both sides are taking liberties with a media blackout to publicly pin the blame on the other side. Education Minister Peter Fassbender took to the radio talkshow circuit last week, saying government negotiators are ready to negotiate “24/7” to reach a deal in time for Labour Day.

Rob Ashby adjusted signs leaned against the fence of the Langley Education Centre Monday when local picketing resumed after summer. Sunday it was BCTF president Jim Iker’s turn to play the blame game, calling on the government to bring about a mediated settlement. Iker said he had been in “regular contact” with Peter Cameron, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association’s chief negotiator, throughout the summer. “The holdouts have been government and their unwillingness to enter full-scale mediation and compromise,” Iker told teachers at the union’s summer convention in Kamloops, issuing a challenge to Fassbender. Vince Ready, a well-respected mediator who has ended many bitter labour disputes over the years, had initial meetings with both sides, but has declared he’ll only re-enter negotiations once the two sides are closer together.

The Surrey RCMP High Risk Target Team, the Lower Mainland District’s Emergency Response Team (ERT) and Police Dog Services were all part of the arrest of a Langley man in South Surrey for a Cloverdale shooting. Robert Miskenack, 27, of Langley, was arrested Aug. 20 when police executed a search warrant in the 15300 block of 27A Avenue. The arrest is in relation to the shooting of a man in Cloverdale on the afternoon of July 21, explained Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr. Miskenack is currently in custody facing eight charges including aggravated assault, assault, and six firearms related charges. A woman had contacted the police to say a man accidently shot his friend in the leg. The Surrey RCMP attended the site at 187th Street and 60A Avenue to find a man with a single gunshot wound to his leg and refusing to provide much detail. The suspect left the scene before police arrived, seen driving away at a high rate of speed on a motorcycle. At the time the RCMP sought the public’s help, releasing a description and explaining that the incident was not random. Since then, the police have not ignored the scene of the shooting. “Officers with the Surrey RCMP’s Neighbourhood Liaison Unit have also followed up with the property owners of the residence where the initial incident took place to ensure that some of the nuisance activity at that residence is properly being dealt with,” Carr added. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvercrime.ca.

Langley Lodge in the challenge and proceeded to dump buckets of ice water on each other. While it may seem a bit silly, the challenge is growing quickly in popularity and has already exceeded the original ALS Canada goal and is halfway to the new goal of $3 million to fund a search for a cure. In the U.S. the total has topped $40 million. Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently accepted a challenge from Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Because these cells die, people with ALS often face partial or total paralysis as part of the terminal condition. The Ice Bucket Challenge encourages those nominated to dump a bucket of ice water over their head, make a donation to ALS, or both, in order to raise awareness and funds for ALS. Nominees who accept the challenge videotape the icy blast and post it online while nominating others to do the same. In their video, Sanker and Matiowski challenged Langley resident, Kristyl Clark, the creator of blogzine She’s a Valley Mom, and the Langley Advance’s very own publisher Ryan McAdams. McAdams took up the challenge Thursday afternoon when two employees, assistant sales manager Peggy O’Brien and Dennis Thomas of the Glacier Media Advertising Service Centre in Langley, had the honour of dumping ice water on McAdams. In turn, the publisher nominated Milt Kruger of On Line Collision who, according to McAdams, “said he’d gladly accept.” Kruger had 24 hours to complete the challenge. Here’s some other locals who have taken on the challenge and their YouTube links. • George Kozlovic, prin-

Cessna overshoots runway and flips by Matthew Claxton and Heather Colpitts

A pilot and passenger were banged up but not seriously injured when a Cessna two-seater crashed in a field near the Langley Regional Airport Friday. The aircraft went down when attempting a landing at around dinnertime. The aircraft apparently overshot a runway and flipped over in a field on the east side of 216th Street.

about what he believes may have gone wrong. The pilot is typically the best witness to help investigators determine what happened, said Yearwood. There are three typical causes of a crash: weather and the environment, mechanical failure, or pilot error. In the case of a minor crash that caused no deaths or serious injuries, the TSB will usually run a relatively brief investigation. Yearwood said if any systemic issues come up, such as a problem with a part that had been properly maintained, an investigation can become larger. The goal is to prevent future accidents, and if there is a mechanical problem that could tun up in other aircraft, that would be cause for widening the investigation.

Breaking down on the railroad tracks isn’t just a Hollywood plot device. A semi tractor trailer driver was uninjured when his vehicle got stuck on the tracks at a level crossing on River Road by Armstrong Road, east of Fort Langley on Friday morning. The incident happened at about 4:39 a.m. The driver could not get his rig and empty trailer moved before a westbound train hauling ore hit it.

But no one was injured, and the train did not leave the tracks, although the front sustained damage. CN Police and Commercial Vehicle inspectors will work with the RCMP on the investigation.

Drivers were lucky that no one was hurt in a seven-car pileup on the Trans Canada Highway Monday morning in Langley. The drivers were heading eastbound around the 21200 block of the highway at around 10:15 a.m. when the first part of the crash took place. According to Staff Sgt. Dale

Somerville, of the RCMP Lower Mainland Traffic Services, the first incident was a fender bender between two cars. One car rearended the other. The next four cars behind the accident all managed to stop successfully. The seventh car did not. That driver hit the sixth car in the line, pushing it into the fifth car, which hit the fourth, which hit the third. “There were no injuries,” said Somerville. The driver of the seventh vehicle was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act with following too close-

The crash of a light aircraft sent two people to the hospital on Friday in Langley.

“We don’t know exactly what happened to cause the hard landing and flip over,” said Bill Yearwood, regional manager for the Transportation Safety Board. There were two people on board, both of whom were taken to hospital by ambulance with minor injuries. Yearwood said he believed they were later released. Because the plane crashed off the runway, the airport was cleared to keep moving aircraft through the main runways. There was no impact on normal airport operations, said Yearwood. The plane was a Cessna 150 built in 1966 and privately registered, said Yearwood. On Monday, TSB investigators were looking to interview the pilot

Investigators are also looking at whether there may be mechanical issues involved. The crash reduced traffic to one lane and resulted in numerous Langley Township fire crews and ambulances being called out, but the collisions were cleared away relatively quickly.

NB rethinks TWU New Brunswick may withdraw approval for TWU lawyers. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Law Society of New Brunswick is reconsidering its approval of the Trinity Western University law school and will hold a secret ballot in midSeptember. The society voted 14-5 in favour of approval June 27 but is reconsidering. The LSNB has posted its document online with the background on the September meeting. It includes a resolution that says the Community Covenant “discriminates against members of the LGBTQ community; and whereas the accreditation of Trinity Western University, while it maintains and promotes the discriminatory policy reflected in its Community Covenant Agreement, would not be in the public interest or the interest of justice and would not serve to promote and improve the status of

lawyers in society;” the LSNB should reconsider its approval. At the June 27 meeting where the society approved TWU, it also approved a motion “that council reconfirm that, regardless of educational background and personal beliefs, a member of the Law Society of New Brunswick, including a student-at-law, shall in all activities, professional and other, not discriminate against any person on grounds of age, colour, disability, gender, language, marital status, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation, social condition and political belief or activity, and, in particular, shall respect the dignity and worth of all persons and shall treat all persons equally and without discrimination.” The Federation of Law Societies of Canada (FLSC) and the BC Ministry of Advanced Education approved the law school in December 2013. Some provincial law societies rely on FLSC’s approval while others hold their own votes.

West Nile threat approaches valley

It isn’t in Langley yet, but local horse owners are being warned that West Nile has hit the province. by Matthew Claxton

LOVE

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The West Nile virus has hit British Columbia, and a Langley veterinarian is warning horse owners to get their animals vaccinated. The disease has hit two horses in Cache Creek and Ashcroft in the past two weeks, said Dr. John Twidale, chair of the equine committee for the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association’s B.C. chapter. “We’ve been lucky for the past five years,” said Twidale. Until now, it was known that West Nile, which is spread by mosquitoes and usually infects birds “We’ve been lucky for such as crows, was in Washington State and the past five years.” Alberta. Dr. John Twidale But it hadn’t turned up in this province until now. West Nile can infect both horses and humans. The disease can’t spread horse-to-human, Twidale said, but only via mosquitoes from birds. Symptoms in horses include muscle tremors in the face, chest, and body, weakness in the hind legs, fever, depression, and in some severe cases, the inability to stand. In severe cases it can kill horses. “We haven’t had cases in the Fraser Valley yet,” said Twidale. He said this is a warning for local horse owners to vaccinate or get booster shots for their animals. With about 10,000 horses in Langley, this is one of the areas with the most need. September and October seem to be the highest months for infection with West Nile in other parts of Canada, Twidale said. The disease only seriously affects a small percentage of those infected. “Although most people who get infected will not feel any symptoms, the disease can be serious for one person out of about every 150 who are infected,” according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. Symptoms can include fever, headache, muscle weakness and joint aches, malaise, rashes, and sensitivity to light. West Nile neurological syndrome, the most serious form of infection, can include paralysis, encephalitis, and meningitis. There is no human vaccine, and the best way to protect yourself is to avoid mosquito bites. Removing nearby sources of standing water, where mosquitoes breed, such as disused bird feeders and old tires, can help reduce local mosquito populations. Wearing protective clothing when outdoors, along with a light coating of a DEET-based repellant, is also recommended by the BCCDC.

Back-to-school blacked out

Anyone who thinks there can be an eleventh hour settlement in the dispute between teachers and the provincial government must be seeing something we’re not. This is what we see. The BC Teachers’ Federation’s demands and the BC Public Schools Employers’ Association’s offers were so far apart in midsummer that BC Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher declared there was no point in bothering with mediation. Since then, any pretences of supporting a mediation process are left in serious doubt. After telephone conversations with chief negotiators on both sides, mediation superstar Vince Ready agreed to get involved in “exploratory talks” between the BCTF and BCPSEA, to “monitor the situation.” In a joint statement a week ago, the BCTF and BCPSEA announced that they agreed that “they will not engage in public discussion pending further discussions with Mr. Ready.” That usually is bureaucratese for a media blackout, to tone down the rhetoric and stop bargaining in public. But Education Minister Peter Fassbender has already been accused by the BCTF of having broken the blackout, although Fassbender, for his part, maintains his public comments weren’t part of the blackout. He has just tried to help parents “understand what is happening, what opportunities are available to them.” Now, apparently in yet another interpretation of the media blackout, BCTF head Jim Iker called out Fassbender with a challenge to bargain as much as the government is claiming it is, and ink a deal. Meanwhile, teachers are walking picket lines again around the province, a not-sosubtle reminder of what’s at stake as the school year approaches. It’s hard to imagine a deal being reached without someone suffering loss of face. And we suspect that that is clearly too high a price for some folks to pay for our children’s education. – B.G.

Tailings pond spill sensationalized

Dear Editor, I fail to understand why special interest groups continue to sensationalize the Mount Polley mine incident [Polley impact yet to be seen, Aug. 21 Our View, and Stewards actually administrators, Aug. 19 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance]. Yes, a dam failed and thousands of litres of water and mud knocked out

a swath of trees and deposited them into Polley Lake. However, the water was not toxic, and the mixture contains minimal amounts of naturally occurring minerals, metals, rock, sand, silt, and mud. Yes, the site looks horrendous, but it’s not unlike any other naturally occurring mudslide that happens regularly all over B.C.

Downtown Langley City

Single woman feels vulnerable

Dear Editor, There appears to be an increase in the number of homeless people, vagrants, and prostitutes in the Langley downtown core. The drug presence is palpable. While shopping on Fraser Highway, I was asked by two vagrants for money. One asked me as I got out of my car, and he asked again when I returned to my car. I felt quite vulnerable. Almost every time I visit that store, someone asks for money, and it is not just one individual. As a single woman, I don’t feel safe, and I told the store manager that, until they resolve the issue, I will not return. I had been seriously considering buying a condo almost across the street, and I feel that section of Langley has deteriorated. Are the police working on it? What is being done and what can be done? Jane Scott, Murrayville

Appreciation

Shopper’s kindness noted

Dear Editor, Kind, thoughtful, and wonderful people exist everywhere. At Safeway, the cashier told us the amount of our purchase as my wife searched feverishly in her purse. She was ten dollars short. In a flash she exited the store to retrieve money from the car. As I waited, the smiling cashier informed me, “The woman behind you paid what you owed.” I was both flabbergasted and delighted. The dear, kind lady was telling me just to forget about it, when my breathless wife arrived on the scene, waving the ten bucks we were short. “Thanks,” said our benefactor, “but it’s unnecessary.” Bless you, madam, for being so very kind. Mike Harvey, Langley

Thankfully, no one was hurt or injured, and the water tests continue to confirm that the water in the creeks and lakes is fit for human consumption and perfectly safe for fish. Scientists also confirm that arsenic, mercury, and lead levels fall well below maximum allowable limits for drinking water. Today, people are once again watching fish jump in the lake and can drink the water, and there is every reason to expect that, in a year, natural vegetation regrowth will render the incident almost undetectable. Yes, we need to find out why this happened and do what we can to ensure that it does not happen again. But I am not going to let all the “anti-everything” alarmists out there continue to suggest that we shut down an industry that so many families rely on. Instead, let’s make it better. Donald Leung, Burnaby [Editor’s note: Tens of billions of litres were spilled, not just “thousands.” Spilled materials with significant risk potential, such as arsenic, selenium, cobalt, and cadmium, are measured in thousands of kilograms (link to Imperial Metals report of last year online). There also remains concern that the sediment and suspended silt will seriously harm fish.] Letters on this page have been edited for space.

(Above) Susan Davidson, a local organic farmer who is part of PIPE UP (Pro Information – Pro Environment – United People) was asked to speak at the launch of the three-month, 1,300kilometre Spirit of the Coast Canoe Journey that left Fort Langley’s waterfront plaza June 1.

BC Senior Games coordinator Shirley Stewart, Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters, and her husband Len Walters, Langley City parks superintendent, were at the special send off at the Kwantlen Cultural Centre for the canoe trek.

(Right) Brandon Gabriel received blessings and wishes for a safe journey from Kwantlen Chief Marilyn Gabriel and other members of the band.

(Right) Kwantlen Chief Marilyn Gabriel, her husband Kevin Kelly, and their 17-year-old son, Michael, were among the band members who participated in a ceremonial send off to the Spirit of the Coast Canoe Journey team when it left Fort Langley on June 1. Michael and Kevin were among those who drummed throughout the event. After starting to drum last year, Michael had been asked to provide ceremonial drumming at a number of convocation ceremonies for Langley high schools. “It’s the best kind of medicine money can buy,” Marilyn said of drumming. She is excited to see drumming being restored in recent years as a major part of band celebrations and ceremonies. (Below) The Langley Xtreme ’99 fastball team won gold at the district playdowns in Abbotsford in late June and with the victory, earned the opportunity to compete at the recent provincial championships in Prince George. Recently, the Xtreme played in the Canadian Open Fastpitch Championship Tournament, where they went 3-1 in the Select Showcase, falling 4-0 in the playoffs to Northwest Oregon Reign. The team includes Andria Coulbourn, Sarah Mior, Emily Morrison, Terae Walters, Jen Delaney, Lynsey Evans, Brooke Cantelon, Remy Brayshaw, Taylor Quechuck, Amanda Neilsen, Jesslyn Hynds-Stewart, Shaelene Locke, and Brielle Collins. They are coached by Shawn Brayshaw, Christy Thompson, Des Delaney, and Karie Quechuck.

“Excellent follow up. Leveled my floor perfectly... Best price and gave me lots of upgrades. One of the best companies I have ever worked with... I shopped around and these guys worked great with my insurance claim folks.” - Jason from Coquitlam “I went to Diverse Flooring because a contractor I hired did not fulfill what he promised me. I was left in a bind with a very limited time frame to complete my space for building inspection. The staff at Diverse was not only extremely helpful and professional, they were very understanding and went beyond their call of duty ... The installers were punctual, efficient and most importantly, they did a great job and they finished on time! The staff and owners are honest and compassionate and I am very grateful and happy to have used this company.” Stop by Homestars.com for full reviews - Sandra from Maple Ridge

Carol Gran claimed the balloons ﬂoating over backyards constituted “a real infringement on people’s solitude,” but the balloonists claimed that they had received no complaints from residents. • Township Mayor Bill Blair agreed with Brookswood residents who wanted a four-way stop sign erected at 208th Street and 40th Avenue in an effort to reduce the horrendous accident toll that the corner was taking.

• Langley lost one of its pre-eminent pioneers when David William (Bill) Poppy died at the age of 98 years. Among other accomplishments, Bill Poppy was mayor of Langley for more than two decades, a position his father, David W. Poppy, had held earlier. D.W. Poppy Secondary School was named after both father and son.

• Another former Langley mayor, George Driediger, passed away at the age of 71 years. • Details were released about the settlement in the Scholtens vs. McMullan defamation case, arising from comments made by Township Councillor and mayoralty candidate Heather McMullan against incumbent mayoralty candidate John Scholtens in the lead-up to the 1999 civic elections. McMullan had lost an earlier lawsuit to Gregory Thomas, stemming from the same comments. Langley Township council’s decision to indemnify McMullan in that matter cost local taxpayers $670,000, but council refused to indemnify her in the Scholtens matter. She sued the Township and her insurance company for refusing to pay for her lawsuit, and in the end, the Township and her insurance company each paid $25,000, and she paid $5,000, while Scholtens received $50,000 and $5,000 was donated to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. Earlier in the case, Scholtens had offered to drop the matter in exchange for an apology and a $10,000 donation to the LMH Foundation from McMullan.

Teacher labour dispute prompts course creation

A growing list of groups are offering programs for children. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Fort Langley Evangelical Free Church family continues to hope and pray for a solution to the ongoing teacher’s strike and a return of all students to September classes,” said Pastor Lorin Bergen. “However, in the event it does not happen, we are setting plans in motion to be a blessing to families in our commun-

ity.” The church will offer a Christian daycamp for working families, lasting as long as the labour dispute continues. The camps start Sept. 3 and will run Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the church, 8870 Glover Rd. There are only 25 spaces available and the camp is open to kids from kindergarten to Grade 6. “If there is a strong demand, we are already working at the details that will allow us to double capacity,” Bergen said. “This opportunity is designed for local residents

but we will not turn others away.” The cost is $15 per day per child. For information or to register, call 604-8887131 or email office@flefc. org. The activities include stories, schoolwork, games, sports, crafts, snacks, playground time, devotions and movies. Students bring their own lunches but snacks will be provided. There will be time during the day for some schoolwork so kids can bring their own stuff or the organizers will have age appropriate material ready if not. This infor-

mation will be shared as people register.

Langley university increasing course selections Dozens of new courses will be offered at Kwantlen campuses.

This fall, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is launching a whole roster of continuing and professional studies. This week, the university announced the inaugural course catalogue, which boasts a diverse range

of programming in the areas of business, design, health, science and horticulture, and trades and technology. Dozens of new courses will be offered at the Langley, Surrey, and Richmond campuses, with certain courses available entirely online. “We have brought in a variety of courses that carry a strong professional focus. They’re new, they’re diverse, and a sig-

nificant portion are exclusive to KPU,” said Jim Pelton, executive director of continuing and professional studies (CPS). KPU’s new courses include the recently announced online course on eating disorders, which will be led by Dr. Laird Birmingham, an internationally recognized pioneer in disordered eating treatment. The highly specialized

course is tailored to professionals – from nurses to dieticians to counsellors – who directly deal with people suffering from eating disorders. It is the only course of its kind in Canada. Through the KPU school of business, CPS has established the Contractor’s Academy – Western Canada’s only such school where contractors can learn the business skills

needed to build their company. “Right off the top, the courses we’re offering on building envelope design are unique. Our professional classes in nursing are unique. Both our highly specialized eating disorders course and the Contractor’s Academy are unparalleled,” said Pelton. “Across disciplines, these courses are designed to update skillsets, enhance

career prospects and enable lifelong learners to better help others, themselves and their businesses.” In addition to specialized programming tailored to specific industries, CPS is offering a series of affordable courses on topics that include social media, creating visual presentations, Google Analytics and time management.

GETTING READY FOR KINDERGARTEN Schools across the country are getting ready to once again open their doors and welcome new and returning students.

Although many children attend preschool, kindergarten typically marks a child’s initial foray into formal education. It can be a time of wonder, new experiences and rapid educational growth. Kindergarten also can stimulate nerves and fears about the unexpected. Preparing children for kindergarten requires a little finesse to make this significant milestone in a kid’s life that much more special. • Speak often about kindergarten. Talking openly and excitedly about kindergarten is one way to spur a child’s interest in school. As the first day of school approaches, bring it up in conversation and see how your youngster feels about kindergarten. Some children are anxious to begin this new chapter in their lives, while others are daunted by the prospect of starting school. Understanding how your child feels about kindergarten can help you more effectively deal

with any apprehension he or she might have. • Schedule a tour. Some schools have programs in place to introduce incoming kindergarteners to the school and the curriculum.

TWU links with Chinese corporation The Langley-based private Christian university is expanding its offerings at the Richmond campus. Trinity Western University and the Cihang Group signed an agreement in July for collaborative program delivery at TWU Richmond. The Cihang Group will work with TWU to deliver community and uni-

For others, you may have to request a visit to the school. Such visits can be helpful, especially if your child does not have an older sibling already in the school and is completely unfamiliar with the building. Sometimes just being able to see what the school and kindergarten classroom looks like is a enough to assuage fears. • Start adjusting kids’ schedules. Summer vacation and pre-kindergarten life may be about retiring to bed late and waking up much later than the start of a typical school day. But such schedules are no longer realistic once kids begin school. Help kindergarteners-to-be acclimate to their new schedules by gradually changing their bed times and wake times in the weeks leading up to the first day of school. Five-year-olds need between 10 and 12 hours of sleep each night. • Let kids choose some school supplies. Encourage youngsters to join you as you shop for school supplies, which may excite kids about school and help them feel more actively involved. That new backpack or folder your child picked out can be a source of pride and a security blanket for the first few days of school. • Encourage kids’ independence. A kindergarten teacher will be supportive and nurturing but will not be a substitute parent for the class. Children should be able to do

versity courses in areas related to Chinese traditional culture, history, language, and medicine. “We are excited about the opportunity to develop programs that will meet the needs of people in and around Richmond,” said TWU associate provost Philip Laird, Ph.D. The Cihang Group will also deliver a transition program for international students to prepare them for university life in Canada. International students who complete this program will

More than 65 new courses will be offered this fall, and Pelton says it’s only the first wave. “We are going to continue to look at the needs of our communities, and the demands of business regionally, and see how we can meet those needs with top-notch programming,” he said. “This is just our first kick at the can, and the can is

certain things for themselves when entering kindergarten. Taking their jackets on and off, packing up their belongings, cleaning up toys and other supplies and following directions are just a few things kids should be able to do on their own upon entering kindergarten. It may be tempting to do everything for your preschooler, but kids who are too dependent may struggle to acclimate to kindergarten. • Encourage kids to spend time with their peers. Your child may benefit from spending time with other kids their age and sharing their expectations of kindergarten. Such dialogue can remove some of the unknown of starting school. • Don’t pressure kids at the last minute. There is no way to cram when preparing for your kindergartener’s first day of school. Rushing through flash cards or quizzing kids on the alphabet may just make them nervous about the start of school. • Make note of the similarities between preschool and kindergarten. Kindergarten may not be so different from preschool, and such familiarity can make the transition that much easier for youngsters. Some preschools mirror the curriculum of the local elementary school district, introducing students to the types of lessons they eventually will learn in kindergarten. Make note of these similarities in an effort to calm any jitters kids may have about starting school.

Seniors sports

There are a number of sports at the B.C. Seniors Games that can test the physical mettle of folks of any age. From cycling to swimming to dragonboat racing, some sports demand strength and endurance. There are also a number of events that emphasize with reflexes, patience, and intelligence over raw physical power. With the B.C. Seniors Games coming to Langley starting this Sept. 9, there is a chance for local seniors to participate and compete with people from around the province in a variety of these activities. • Horseshoes: Played with individuals or in teams of two, this backyard favourite actually uses large stylized metal U-shaped bars, bigger than a real horseshoe. It will be played this year at the Cloverdale Horseshoe Club on 64th Avenue. • Carpet bowling: A variant on indoor bowls, and related to the similar outdoors lawn bowling, carpet bowling is popular in parts of England. Single players, or groups of two, three, or four players in teams participate in an attempt to get their shots closer to a rolled jack than their opponents. It will be played at the LEC on 200th Street. • Floor curling: Much like its on-ice version, but designed for those who

There is no sweeping, and the “rocks” are made of wood. The game is played on a wooden floor waxed for pushing the rocks, and the game is scored like traditional curling. Games will be played at the George Preston Recreation Centre on 42nd Aveue. • Darts: A pub favourite, now played with a standarized round dart board and a specific set of rules. Darts will be played in the Coast Langley Hotel on Fraser Highway. • Cribbage: A card game for two, three, or four players that involves grouping cards to gain points. The cribbage board is used for scorekeeping, and there is a complex scoring system including points for groups of cards that total 15. Competitions

Hutchison tops field at Legacy Grand Prix Thunderbird Show Park founder Dianne Tidball was honoured through a show jumping event, held this past Friday at the Langley equestrian centre. by Pamela Saunders

contributor

A packed field gathered at Thunderbird Show Park for the Dianne Tidball Legacy Grand Prix on Friday night, paying tribute to the woman who gave so much to the sport. Amidst celebrations and scholarship presentations, it was an early lead by California’s Susan Hutchison that held through more than 60 rounds to take top spot. Jane Tidball, Thunderbird president and daughter to George and Dianne, opened the class with a tribute. “Everything you see around you was her dream,” Jane said.

“Dianne worked at Thunderbird for 42 years and we expect to continue building her legacy for at least 42 more.” With more than 65 competitors in the lineup, the first clear came early in the order for California’s Susan Hutchison aboard Sig Excel. And just a few rounds later, a beautiful ride by Laura-Jane Tidball on Liam guaranteed a jump-off. Only two more riders advanced: Lisa Carlsen on World’s Judgement, and Lauren Crooks with both her mounts, Ziezo II and Dancer, to challenge an exciting course set by international designer, Peter Holmes. In close pursuit, Rich Fellers

Laura-Jane Tidball strode past the image of her grandma Dianne during the Dianne Tidball Legacy Grand Prix on Aug. 20 at Thunderbird Show Park. (Lux Lady), Nicole Bloom (Camerone), Brenda Riddell (Dutch Amouretta), Genevieve Meyer (Coral Reef Casello), and New Zealand’s Toni McIntosh (FBW Coneli) would all finish with a single time fault. “When I walked the course, I looked at the in and out from 4 to 5 a/b, thought it was maybe a little long for my horse and decided that the best ride for her would be the add,” explained Hutchison. “I guess it was just lucky that I went early. I didn’t have to sit around for 70 horses and decide if that was really what I wanted to do, I just made a plan and stuck to it.” Hutchison, of Temeculah, Calif., was first into the ring for round two, looking to set the pace. After a small rub on the first fence, Sig Excel was flawless and lightning fast through the course to put the pressure the rest of the field with a time of 44.79. Riding Liam, Laura-Jane Tidball delivered a careful ride to go clear over fences, posting two time faults. Lisa Carlsen and her 11-yearold gelding, World’s Judgement, looked to challenge, going quick and turning up the heat coming home, but were just off the pace at 47.51.

With a pair of rides to close the class, Lauren Crooks of Washington and currently, Wellington, was up first on Ziezo II, putting in a beautiful ride, but catching a late rail to post four faults at 47.49. Returning on Dancer, she left nothing on the table, riding hard and leaving all the sticks

up with a time of 45.57 to take second. The day belonged to Hutchison, taking the lead just three rounds into the class and never letting it go. “My mare won the derby here last week by six seconds, she’s naturally fast,” Hutchison said. “I knew I had competition behind me, but if I could just put down a really solid double clear, they would have to go all out to catch her.” For Laura-Jane Tidball, the fourth place spot in her grandmother’s grand prix was the perfect way to honour her memory. In a note read aloud during the class, “LJ” echoed what many competitors and friends watching from the sidelines felt for the woman who changed the face of equestrian sport in B.C. “Thank you for always believing in me and for teaching us to live up to your legacy.” Hutchison echoed the sentiment: “The Tidball family makes Thunderbird special. I’ve known them for years and there’s a place in my heart for Dianne and George. We all miss them.”

Army marches to tourney gold Langley avenged an earlier loss to the Bend Bullets by downing the host team 4-1 in the title game. Backed by the clutch goaltending of Ryan Wansink, the Langley Hockey House Army won the U12 division at the Northwest Cup. The 21st annual inline hockey tournament took place Aug. 15-17 in Bend, Oregon. After starting the tournament with a heartbreaking 5-4 loss to the host Bend

Bullets, the Army found their legs and “wheeled” off back-to-back decisive wins to set up a rematch with the host team. The gold medal game proved to be much different than their previous matchup. Langley’s tough, fast defence of Jackson Sing, Carter Wilson, and Jake Herod efficiently shut down any second chances and quickly moved the puck up the floor to the forwards consisting of Trevor Parsons, Chris Tryssnar, Austin Lochhead, and Bryden Frisk, who made the most of their chances, as the Army skated to a 4-1 victory.
