White Rock’s Patricia Celan was named Miss Charity BC at the finale of the Miss BC Pageant July 1 in Fort Langley. She committed to shaving her head if she was the contestant who raised the most money. Celan had her head shaved on stage by Rick Wiltshire (right), with the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley team. Monte Durham, of Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta, cut off her braid, which will be donated for wigs and affixed her Miss Charity 2013 crown after the head shave. See more on page A11.

Langley Mounties want help from the public to identify a man who kidnapped and sexually attacked a 16-year-old girl. The girl was waiting for a bus at the intersection of 204th Street and 42nd Avenue in Brookswood at about 12:15 p.m. on June 22, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The suspect pulled up in a small silver hatchback and ordered her to get into the car, said Marks. The girl was terrified and did what the man said. He pulled out a large knife once she was in the car. He drove to the church parking lot in the 21200 block of 56th Avenue, at Christian Life Assembly, where he assaulted her. The man then drove to the bus loop at Logan Avenue and Glover Road and let her go.
Police have now worked with the victim to create a composite sketch of the man, and they are asking members of the pubSuspect lic to help RCMP sketch identify this attacker. The man is described as Caucasian, about 50 years old, 6’0”, with a heavy build, balding with grey-blond hair, and a full beard. He was wearing a blue-grey shirt and pants, and sunglasses. His car is a newer model silver hatchback. Anyone who knows anything about the attack should call the Langley RCMP at 604-5323200, or CrimeStoppers at 1800-222-8477 (TIPS). Calls to CrimeStoppers are anonymous. CrimeStoppers can also be contacted at www.solvecrime.ca or by texting BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).
