A new school is the secondin two years to open inWilloughby, and not the last.by Matthew [email protected]
Langley students headed backto school on Tuesday, as the newacademic year started for all 42schools in the district.
The day was particularly spe-cial for staff and students at onelocation in WIlloughby.
The gym floor was free ofscuff marks, and the basketballnets were bunched up under thehoops, having never seen a ballpass through.
The school library shelves werestill a little empty, and the out-door PA system didn’t quite workyet.
The brand-new Richard BulpittElementary opened its doors onTuesday for the first time, add-ing another elementary school toLangley’s fast-growing northwest-ern area.
Parents and kids met the newstaff and principal Lucy Lenkounder typical fall weather – aheavy dark cloud hung over thegrounds and dumped heavy rainduring a flag raising ceremony.
That didn’t stop some familymembers of the school’s name-sake from raising the B.C. andCanadian flags for the first time.
The school is named for thelate Langley superintendent ofschools Richard Bulpitt.
A well-liked administrator, he
died suddenly in 2007 of a heartattack while on a missions trip inHanoi, Vietnam.
“This is such an honour,” saidValerie, Richard’s wife, after theflag raising.
She had stopped by the previ-ous day to tour the school withLenko, who knew and trainedunder Bulpitt.
“It’s wonderful to see my hus-band’s legacy continued,” saidValerie.
Also at the flag raising wereCindy Moller, the Bulpitts’ daugh-ter, grandson Phoenix Moller,and the Bulpitts’ son Corey.
Bulpitt’s most recent succes-sor as district superintendent,Suzanne Hoffman, was also thereto watch the school open.
Richard Bulpitt Elementary,designed for Kindergarten toGrade 5, is a two-storey schoolwith capacity for up to 510 stu-dents. Built east of 208th Streeton 77A Avenue, it is one of sev-eral schools built or planned inrecent years to take the pressureoff R.C. Garnett and WilloughbyElementary schools, both ofwhich are overcrowded and havea number of portable classrooms.
The oldest students from
Richard Bulpitt School will gradu-ate next year to the new middleschool currently under construc-tion just to the west of 208thStreet on 84th Avenue.
The late Richard Bulpitt retiredas superintendent of schoolsin 2000, after a 35-year careeras educator and principal. Hehad worked at the board office,and as a principal at Belmont,Noel Booth, and Fort LangleyElementary schools, as well as atLangley Fine Arts.

A Fraser Valley girls fastpitchteam is fundraising to sendall of its players to St. Louis,Mo. where a Musial Awardawaits them.by Troy [email protected]
A tremendous display of sports-manship earlier this summer hasearned a local girls rep fastpitchteam a prestigious award.
On Nov. 9 in St. Louis, Mo.,members of the Fraser ValleyFusion 97 will receive a Musial
Award (named for the lateCardinals Hall of Famer StanMusial) during a ceremony thatrecognizes extraordinary acts ofsportsmanship.
The Fusion is currently fund-raising to send its entire team toSt. Louis to accept the award,which came as a result of a self-less act during the provincial
championships at the end of July.While the Fusion fell 7-0 to the
Delta Heat 97 in the gold medalfinal of the U16 A provincialsheld at Victoria’s Helmcken Park,the team, which includes a hand-ful of Langley players, left a last-ing impression.
During the Fusion’s playoffgame against the Surrey Storm– when a loss would have dashedtheir chances of winning a medal– the Storm’s Raelyn Radovich hita three-run home run to tie thegame. But while rounding firstbase, Radovich twisted her ankleand by the time she got to thirdbase, was in serious pain.

A bucket truck like this one was stolen,used in a crime spree, and then recovered.
Spectators will be asked todonate at this year’s show.by Roxanne [email protected]
It’s his first time at the helm ofLangley’s single largest commun-ity event of the year.
Eric Taylor is president ofLangley Good Times Cruise-In,and in the days leading up to theannual charity car show, he saidsleep is evading him, while hisstaff jokingly say they don’t rec-ognize him because he’s been atwork so seldom lately.
All of his time – like that of theother “devoted” directors – hasbeen consumed with prepara-tions for Cruise-In.
The Cruise-In is an annual fam-ily-oriented event held in down-town Langley. This year’s charitycar show is being held Saturday,Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to roughly6 p.m. and it is expected to hostmore than 700 classic, custom,and vintage automobiles andupwards of 100,000 guests havebeen known to attend the show.
“We have an excellent boardof directors who have all sorts ofskills and knowledge, which col-lectively lead to a great show…”he said.
“And these board membershave been working day and nightto get it done and to make it bet-ter than last year,” he said, stillin awe of all that’s involved inmaking the event happen.
“This is my first year as pres-ident, and my eyes have beenopened wide to the amount ofwork to pull off this show,”Taylor said, feeling a littlefatigued just a few days ahead.
He’s not the only new face on
the board, noting there a fewother new directors. And withnew people comes new ideas.
Admittedly, he said there havebeen some small changes to thisyear’s show, but not much thatwill impact the public greatly.
Changes have includedupdating the website, adding anew membership program, gar-nering new sponsorship, and col-lecting donations on-site.
While admission continues tobe free, the Cruise-In committeehas partnered with the SalvationArmy this year, in hopes of col-lecting cash from the crowd.
“We hope that people under-stand that the Cruise-in is a char-ity event. All funds raised go to
local charities,” Taylor said.Sponsors and vendor fees cover
all the costs that go in to puttingon the show, he explained. Thenpart of the sponsorship money,along with all dollars garneredfrom car registration – and nowdonations – go back to the com-munity in the form of donations.
Taylor wants to see thosedonations increase, and hopesworking with the Salvation Armywill bring that about.
“Our experiment with theSalvation Army is just the com-mon sense approach being taken.The Salvation Army has a systemto give large groups of people theopportunity to donate to theircause, but the Salvation Army is
dependent on people gatheringtogether. The Langley Cruise-Inattracts an enormous crowd, andwe have never had a system ofasking people for a donation,”Taylor said. He elaborated that aloonie from each patron wouldhelp Cruise-In charities greatly.
In addition to the thousandsraised for local service groupsand charity organizations eachyear, Taylor said Cruise-In onceagain expected to make a sig-nificant infusion into the localeconomy.
“For a one-day event to bringin $6 million (in economic spin-off) is pretty impressive,” he saidof the estimated impact.

…continued from page A1Because she was already on the base
paths, it was too late for a pinch run-ner and any assistance from a coach ortrainer would have resulted in her beingcalled out.
And that’s when the Fusion playerstook over.
Remembering a similar story from anNCAA game a few years back when twomembers of the opposing team carrieda player home, Fusion players ShannonChick from Aldergrove, Shae Domitrukfrom Maple Ridge, and Kristen Rodriguesfrom Vancouver picked up the Surreyplayer and helped her cross home platefor the tying run with the fans cheeringthem on.
“It was awesome,”said Fusion coach GordO’Grady. “They did it com-pletely on their own. Theyknew it was the right thingto do [and] it was a veryspecial moment I won’tever forget.”
The Fusion would go onto win the game 9-7, aswell as one more game against the SurreyStorm 98 to make it to the semifinals.
And in that game, Fraser Valley played“the game of their lives” in upsetting thetop-seed White Rock Renegades 97 2-0.
But playing their 10th game in threedays against a well-rested Delta squadproved too much as the Fusion fell 7-0.
Fraser Valley had gone 3-1 in the roundrobin to place fourth and advance to theplayoff round. Altogether, the team went7-3 at provincials.
Even though they didn’t win gold, theFusion players’ golden moment at theprovincials had already happened.
Currently, through sponsorship anddonations, the Fusion is trying to comeup with the necessary funds to send the
entire team to St. Louis and the ceremonyat the Peabody Opera House.
O’Grady said for just two team mem-bers to receive the award without therest of the Fusion on hand to enjoy themoment “doesn’t make sense.”
“It’s a team award,” he said.Reflecting on the unforgettable act of
sportsmanship, O’Grady said “it’s awe-some.”
“It’s hard to put into words how proudI am of them. It was amazing, what theydid,” he said, adding, “We’re the firstCanadian athletes to receive this award.”
The St. Louis Sports Commission hasoffered to cover flights and accommoda-tions for two people to attend the cere-
mony.“As you can imagine, the
costs associated to travel fora team at this high level ofball are increasingly exorbi-tant,” the team stated in aletter looking for sponsor-ship. “Virtually all of thefunds raised throughoutthe season were expendedfor travel and no one could
have possibly anticipated a Novemberexcursion to St. Louis, Missouri.
“This Provincial Silver Medal Teamhas been together for several years andeach player embodies the character andclass making them worthy of this award.While we appreciate it is not always pos-sible to support all donation requests youreceive, any support you can providewould be greatly appreciated.”
Online contributions can be made directto the team at www.langleysoftball.com/Langley-Fastball-Online-Store.aspx.
To sponsor, donate, or support theFusion team members in their quest togo to St. Louis, email O’Grady at [email protected].

Volunteersensure goodtimes for all
You might think that it’s the cars thatpower the Langley Good Times Cruise-Inaround the block and back again.
But actually, it’s the volunteers.Indeed, volunteers like those who
comprise the engine that has driven theannual (except for one brief rest) LangleyGood Times Cruise-In since the mid-1990s
embody the spiritthat you can findin every mov-ing part underLangley’s hood.
Undoubtedly,that is why the
volunteers who keep the Cruise-In purringsmoothly also keep numerous other volun-teer and charity efforts throughout the com-munity operating in high-gear throughoutthe year.
Every penny raised by the Langley GoodTimes Cruise-In ends up in the fuel tanks oflocal charities.
Somehow, that adds even more muscleto all those hundreds of shiny autos – fromroadsters to hot rods, from antiques tosleekly modern beauties – that will line thestreet through downtown Langley City onceagain this Saturday.
And it adds extra purpose (whether ornot they realize it!) to the tens of thousandsof spectators who will arrive in the down-town core to ogle the paint-jobs and enginesand sleek, babied vehicles that are the right-ful pride and joy of those who delight indelighting others with the automotive art-istry they have accomplished.
Every year, the Langley Good TimesCruise-In brings in huge crowds with theirdollars for merchants – and for local par-ticipating charities – to experience one ofthis community’s biggest, boldest, and mostcharitable endeavours.
Volunteers… start your engines!– B.G.

Last week’s question:What exotic animals would least bother you if they lived next door?
Advance Poll…
It’s a little known fact that there are genresin newspaper and online feature writing, justas there are in fiction.
As in fiction, you’ve got some stuff at therespectable end, like the Well ResearchedPolitical Exposé, the Respectful Obituary, andthe Post-Electoral Think-Piece.
But there’s only so many stories like thatto go around, and there’s a lot ofpages to fill and/or web eyeballsto draw in. So there’s a lot of fluff.The Listicle (“10 things you don’tknow about Gwenyth Paltrow’scolon!”). The Partisan Bait(“Michael Moore/Glenn Beck just said some-thing stupid!”) and the Dietary Scare Tactic(“Drinking orange juice causes spongy liversyndrome – maybe!”).
My favourite new genre is one I like to callAdam Smith Hates Joy.
These are stories that are usually tuckedinto the business section, often of ostensiblyleft-leaning or centrist publications, that claimanything fun, enjoyable, or family-centric isdestroying the economy.
A Reuters story this week, under the heading“Meals at home mask deep economic problemsin Italy,” claims that an increase in the num-ber of Italians going home for lunch is a signof the country’s imminent economic collapse.
Which sort of makes sense, in an overlyreductive, Freakonomics sort of way.
The writer’s thesis: about 75 per cent ofItalians now go home for lunch. This isbecause more and more of them are unem-ployed, which is bad.
So far, so truthy. The writer then goes on totalk about how even many employed Italianseat at home because A) fewer Italian womenare in the work force compared to otherEuropean countries, therefore they are avail-
able to cook hot lunches for the husbands orgrown children, and B) more than 40 per centof Italians who do have jobs work for smallfirms with fewer than 15 employees, “a sectorlong seen as too small to be properly competi-tive,” we’re warned. Cue the scare chords.
I don’t want to overlook Italy’s real econom-ic problems, but this analysis has issues.
First, it seems to think that getting morewomen into the workforce is a purely econom-ic issue, only distantly related to sexism.
Secondly, it suggests that the best thing Italycould do for its economy would be to crushthe many family-owned businesses that dotits small towns, replacing them with corpor-ate entities that would trade local knowledge,
tradition, and the ability to gohome at lunch, for efficiency,i.e. the ability to rapidly hire andfire a dehumanized workforce.
Sounds awesome.You can find these stories all
over the web and in practically every businesspaper from The Economist to the National Postto Slate.
Minimum wage-earning fast-food workersstriking for benefits and more cash? Pointless,argues a business writer who earns consider-ably more than $7.15 an hour. Bad for theoverall economy.
An unsafe sweatshop in Bangladesh collaps-es and crushes or burns 1,129 people to death?Price of doing business. Those Bangladeshiswill have to accept sub-standard working con-ditions so Joe Fresh and Benetton won’t haveto increase the cost of their shirts by a nickeland damage shareholder value.
You’re on call for your job via cellphone andemail 24/7, increasingly stressed and unableto ever really get off the clock? What are youwhining about? We’re competing againsteveryone in the world right now.
Of course, this is a race that does not end.There is no finish line, and that’s by design.You’ll work until you hit the extended age ofretirement, and then just a little bit more, for alittle bit less, in the name of the bottom line.
And don’t even think about going home forlunch.

Dear Editor,I’m a bit mystified.I’m the owner of a well-established retail
store in Langley. Over the past several yearsthe business has grown to the point that I’mready to hire some extra help. I am offeringa full-time sales job within the store.
I am offering more than minimum wage,with an incentive bonus structure. The idealcandidate would have a can-do attitude,great customer service skills, the desire tolearn on the job, and the ability to pitch inwherever needed.
Too much to ask? I didn’t think so. I haveplaced ads in the various different job-relat-ed internet venues, both government andprivate sector.
Over the past two weeks I’ve been
reviewing resumes received, and havescheduled interviews with nine of the mostpromising applicants. Of those nine candi-dates offered interviews, only one showedup for her appointment. Not a single wordfrom the eight others!
Why am I mystified? I thought there wasa shortage of available jobs, and I thoughtI would be deluged with applications. Itseemed like a great idea to offer full-timeemployment to those looking for work.
Apparently, I’m naive. So much for thelack of work in B.C.!

Dear Editor,It was with consterna-
tion that I received a localflyer with a full-page adfor assault rifles and other
restricted weapons.I grew up in a hunting
culture, I am ex-military,and I am a sometime small-game hunter myself, but I
can think of no conceivablereason for civilians to pos-sess tactical weapons withlarge magazines and bay-onets.
I recently returned froma trip to Colorado. I findit supremely ironic that inthe so-called “Land of theFree” there are so manysecurity restrictions andcultural curbs based on thefear of gun violence, yetin the name of “Freedom,”they dare not tackle thethorny issue of reasonablerestrictions on their SecondAmendment rights.
I sincerely hope we do notreach that slippery slope,where we feel the need to“arm all the kindergartenteachers” here in Canada.

First cellphones, then banksDear Editor,
The pleas of “unfair” tactics by the cellphone providers,which include Telus and Rogers, are ironical indeed, andcause me to chuckle.
For years they have been over-charging for cellphone use(among the highest charges in the world) and they havebeen warned time and again by the federal government tostop “gouging” the Canadian public.
But alas, their greed prevailed, and the federal govern-ment responded accordingly.
I, for one, welcome Verizon.Now if the feds would take a look at the greed (and prof-
its) of the Canadian banks…Gord Weitzel, Langley
Dear Editor,On Wednesday, Aug. 21, two new babies
were born to two different coupleswe know in Fort Langley.
While this is a time of great joy,to me it is also a cause for someconcern, because of the unsafe ped-estrian environment at the cornerof 96th Avenue and Glover Road.
There is no traffic light onthe corner, arguably the majorintersection of downtown FortLangley. A local dentist tells mevarious groups have been askingfor traffic lights here for more than 20 years.
What we do have is an unsafe pedestriancrosswalk. One of our revered local musi-cians and avid bicyclists was struck whilewalking his bicycle across Glover Road. Hehad assumed that the vehicle would stop,because of the crosswalk, but he had failedto eyeball the driver with a stink eye.
Luckily for the taxpayers, he didn’t suethe Township for the design of the cross-walk – though it is a pretty, faux-bricky-looking painting on the road.
The big transport trucks coming off 96thAvenue and going south on Glover Roadhave a handy-dandy turning lane that is sohandy that trucks have struck our buildingat least twice.
Two weeks ago, one of the owners of thegreat new art gallery in the building sawyet another transport truck with two trailersattached jump the same sidewalk.
The fear I have is that, with the wonder-ful new baby population in Fort Langley (in
my 20 years there, I have neverseen so many baby strollers asin the past two years), some-one going north on Glover andleading their walk with a babystroller past our building on 96thand Glover Road will come intocontact with a transport truckhopping the sidewalk.
That will then be our heritage.And you can then forget all
the brouhaha about the under-grounding of wires, the size of buildings,and the look of their facades.
I also realize that there is a federallyregistered heritage maple tree on the cornerof 96th Avenue and Glover Road. I love thattree.
But trees, like people, have a lifespan.And this is the rainforest of B.C. Spit on
the ground, wait a minute, and trees grow.If that tree is the only reason we cannot
make that corner safe, it’s got to go.With the hits to the building (and to the
musician), we’ve had the warning love tapsthat tell us something is wrong.
We still have an opportunity to avoid tra-gedy. Let’s see if we will. Anybody with meon this?

I found it a little intimi-dating being in the com-pany of such greatness lastweek, during the Best ofthe Best awards celebrationin Walnut Grove.
Okay, maybe I wasn’tso much intimidated, as Iwas in awe. There weresome pretty impressiveand inspiring people in thecrowd.
I know that feeling wasshared by guest speakerAngie Quaale, owner ofWell Seasoned gourmetfood store and the formerchamber president.
In fact, she said it per-fectly: “Truly, I am in aweof all of you and the workthat you do to build yourbusinesses and to build ourcommunity.”
Well said, Angie.“You guys make Langley
what it is!” she elaboratedin her keynote address tothe crowd of award recipi-ents who gathered undertents – avoiding the rain– at The Redwoods golfcourse last Thursday.
A well-recognized andlauded entrepreneur in herown right, Quaale applaud-ed the 125 other businessowners – many in attend-ance – who were selectedby Langley Advance reader asthe Best of the Best.
Each year for the past 16years, the Langley Advancehas held the annual sur-vey, allowing readers tovote for their favouritelocal businesses.
“You make me as a busi-nessperson in Langley bet-ter at what I do,” Quaalesaid, adding that the com-munity is a better place tolive and work because ofpeople and businesses likethose recognized at the
ceremony.She expressed gratitude
to this newspaper, as well,for recognizing the entre-preneurs in Langley, notingit builds community andmotivates others to excel.
“If it wasn’t for your res-taurants and your hotels,and your real estate officeshere in Langley, everyonewould just live here andleave Langley to work allday and it would be a com-plete ghost town.”
But it is not. It is a thriv-ing metropolis, with thriv-ing businesses, and a thriv-ing economy.
“I really appreciate thework you guys do to begood neighbours in ourcommunity,” Quaaleadded. “Your businessesand your efforts to be thebest at what you do reallydoes make a difference.”
While I don’t want tosingle out one winneras being better than theothers, I didn’t have timeto chat with everyone. Idid, however, visit brieflywith Bozena Pappas ofKosta’s Greek Restaurant.
She and her husbandKostas have been in busi-ness on Fraser Highwayfor 13 years, and in keep-ing with what Angie said,they believe what has keepthem in business all theseyears – and a winner of theBest of the Best awards for11 years running – is theirfresh food and primar-ily their customer service(literally knowing many oftheir customers by nameand knowing food allergiesand preferences).
Likewise, Matthew Purdyof Toy Traders, said his18-year-old business is allabout people – not only his30-plus staff (many whohave been with him formore than a decade) butthe “thousands of custom-ers who support us.”
It’s those people hecredits with helping ToyTraders earn Best of theBest accolades repeatedlythrough the years.

A trailer like thisone was stolenin Willoughbyover the long
weekend.The public is invited toMcLeod Athletic Park’ssports box throughout theday Saturday, in support ofBig Brothers Big Sisters ofLangley.by Troy [email protected]
Wanted: a complete adultball hockey teamor group of indi-vidual players toregister for theGrant ThorntonCommunity Classic– Road HockeyRumble.
The fundraiserfor Big BrothersBig Sisters ofLangley (BBBSL)has dropped fromeight adult teamsto seven, after onesquad pulled outrecently.
The ball hockeycompetition runsfrom 9 a.m. to 3p.m. this Saturday, Sept. 7 insidethe McLeod Athletic Park coveredsports box.
BBBSL matches at-risk childrenwith adult mentors known asBig Brothers and Big Sisters. Theorganization also facilitates a
variety of different programs thatserve boys and girls.
All funds raised from sponsor-ship, registration (cost is $500per team), pledges collected, aconcession, a silentauction, and a 50/50draw go to supportBBBSL programs.
The second annual“Rumble” held lastyear drew eight adultteams, and raised$10,700 for the cause.
This year, organ-izers are strivingto exceed thatamount.
Augmenting theadult competitionis a children’stournament forplayers betweenthe ages of eightand 14, of allskill levels.
Kids play forfree.
Leroy VanSpronsen, a sen-ior manager withGrant Thorntonwho chairs theevent’s organ-izing committee,
says that while the tournamentis a great time for all, it is alsoquite competitive, with braggingrights at stake.
“It’s a ton of fun,” he said.“But when you get guys withhockey sticks, it can be competi-
tive, but mostly it’s meant to befun.”
This Grant Thornton-organizedfundraiser has become somethingof a tradition.
“A number ofyears ago, wewanted to dosomething for thecommunity’s sake,”Van Spronsen said.“We just want togive back to thecommunity we livein.”
BBBSL is very appreciative ofthe support.
“It’s huge. We’re really priv-ileged and honoured that theywould pick us once again tobe the charity benefiting,” saidBBBSL administrative assistantElvira Romanchik.
Funds generated from the eventallow BBBSL to effectively matchmore children and mentors, andimpact more families’ lives in apositive way Romanchik added.
There are also plenty of activ-ities surrounding the hockey.
“Come by to support theevent,” Romanchik said.“Anybody in the community cancome out for a fun few hours, orfor the entire day.”
BBBSL and Grant Thornton willhave staff on site, volunteeringtheir efforts.

Langley artist Murray Phillipswants this year’s TheWest Fine Art Show to payhomage to his late wife.by Roxanne [email protected]
As Murray Phillipswheeled his wife Betty’sstretcher a short dis-tance across the park-
ing lot, from Langley MemorialHospital to the Langley Hospice,she thanked him for insistingon the stroll and for giving herone last chance to see the springflowers blooming and to hearthe birds chirping.
Then, she turned to her hus-band of 46 years, and told himshe was not afraid of dying, “butMurray I needyour help, Iwant to live mydying well.”
“I wasimmediatelystruck by thecalmness andhonesty of herrequest. But,I wondered,how does one do that,” Murrayshared with the Langley Advance.
Admittedly, he was apprehen-sive about moving her to hos-pice. He knew Betty wanted tospend her last days at home. But,less than an hour after arriving athospice, the Phillips both knewthey’d made the right choiceby opting for hospice instead ofhome.
That was in early May, and 24days later Betty lost her battlewith cancer.
“We were able to spend suchrich time together,” he explained.
“I didn’t know how signifi-cant hospice would be for us,”Murray added. “And I didn’thave any idea how devastated Iwould be. I’m functioning. I’mworking and I’m painting. But,there’s a huge sense of loss.”
Earlier this week, sitting in arocker in his home-based art stu-dio, a tearful Murray recountednumerous conversations theyshared during those days, not-ing they continued their rituals
of singing together, reminiscing,and reading poetry and scripture.
One conversation in particular,which came near the end, stuckwith Murray. He’d proposedturning his annual fall art showinto a fundraiser for hospice –the organization that had allowedBetty to realize her wish of dyingwell.
“She wholeheartedlyapproved,” Murray recalled.“They have been so kind andgracious to us,we need to helpso others canexperience thiskind of careand support.”
Still mourningthe “insanelypainful” loss ofhis soul mate,this nationally acclaimed Langleyartist and former art galleryowner is doing just that.
Murray is mustering all hisenergy and will – with a lot ofhelp from friends and family – toorganize his annual fundraising
art show in honour of Betty.“I had decided we wanted to
do [the show in Betty’s honour],but I wasn’t sure if I could,”Murray admitted, reaching downfrom his chair and sinking hisfingers into the thick fur onLuke’s neck. The three-year-oldGerman shepherd has becomeMurray’s constant companion.
Murray noted it wasn’t untilJuly that he confirmed with hisfriend and co-host Brian Croft,
that they wouldbe able to goahead with theshow, creditingCroft for puttingfeet under hisidea.
The result:This weekend,The West Fine
Art Show, dubbed “RememberingBetty,” is being held with 25 percent from the sale of all art beingdonated to the Langley HospiceSociety in Betty’s honour.
“Betty was a remarkable per-son,” who helped hundreds of
children as a teacher and later asa school counsellor. This event– Murray said – is a small way topay tribute to what he describedas a strong, beautiful, generous,gentle woman with a great senseof humour.
“She was the most lovingand caring person I have met,”Murray said, noting he has alsocreated a painting in memoryof his late wife, one that will beincluded at the show featuringa fistful of red roses laying on atable next to a waiting vase.
Roses were always Betty’sfavourite flower, Murrayexplained, noting there are lit-erally dozens of rose bushes intheir garden. He vows to have adifferent rose painting at each ofthe future The West shows.
He is continuing an inmemoriam tradition he startedyears ago, by creating andincluding a daisy paintings inevery one of his shows, the dais-ies honouring his niece who diedin a senseless accident in 1991,at age 21.
Art show and saleThe three-day show will fea-
ture a hand-picked team of17 Western Canadian artists,including Murray (www.murray-phillipsart.com) and his fellowLangley artist and friend, Croft(www.briancroft.com).
This duo make an odd pair offriends indeed. Murray is the pro-verbial hippie and mountain mantype – who actually heads outinto the woods for four months ayear to paint nature.
In stark contrast, there’s Croft,a former fighter pilot recognizedfor his detailed, and historicallyaccurate landmark paintings.
The two very different person-alities became fast friends almost19 years ago, when Croft enteredMurray’s Westwind Gallery indowntown Langley with a fewwatercolours he hoped to sell.
“He didn’tkick me out,and he evenput them upon the walls,”Croft recount-ed.
Friends eversince, the duostarted TheWest Fine Art
Show together four years ago.It’s held each fall at Indian
Springs Land and Cattle Co. at19339 8th Ave. in Surrey, at theranch owned by Margaret andSenator Gerry St. Germain –where Murray had a studio for anumber of years before buying ahome in Murrayville that allowedroom for a home studio.
The West opens Friday, Sept.6 with Red Robinson on handfrom 7 to 10 p.m., then Saturday,Sept. 7 the show continues from9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with ShellBusey serving up pancake break-fasts until 11 a.m. And, the eventwraps up Sunday, running 10a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is free, but againdonations for hospice are beingaccepted.
For more information aboutthis weekend’s show, people canvisit www.westart.ca.
“I really want to see this showsucceed and I really want to seehospice succeed,” Murray said.

The Happy Gangperforms at theDouglas Park bandshellSaturday.
by Ronda [email protected]
Nothing causes thebrain to turn nostalgiclike an old familiar song.When that song is sung by
people who love what theydo and have smiles on, it’shard not to sing along.
The Happy Gang is agroup of seniors who willdo a few “old standards”at Langley Good TimesCruise-In and hope to getfolks to sing along.
Bob Taylor, father ofCruise-In president EricTaylor, will be performingwith about 15 other mem-bers of The Happy Gang atthe bandshell in Douglas
Park at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.at Cruise-In.
When asked if theyconsideredthemselves aband, Taylorresponded,“Let’s not getany hopes upof seeing abrass band orsomething. We are a fungroup, a sing-along group;we’re a happy group. Wesing songs that people can
sing along with us.”The numbers on the
schedule will be famil-iar, or at least
Taylor hopesthey willbe because,“We’re goingto ask them[the audi-ence] to
sing,” he said.Expect classics like
Sentimental Journey, ABicycle Built for Two, Bye,
Bye, Blackbird, even Kingof the Road.
“I think there’s goingto be about 15 singers,plus me, plus my pianist,”Taylor said, describinggroup members as, “allhappy people.”
The group has beentogether for about 12years. They change mem-bers as “things happen,”Taylor noted. He men-tioned that attrition hap-pens in life, and everyone
in the group is “fine withthat.”
“Singing is an exception-ally important part of mylife,” he said. “I’m not aprofessional, I just loveto sing. I’m 80 years old.I grew up singing andeveryone learned to sing.”
Take in the songs thatinspire singing along atthis year’s Cruise-In andsee why Taylor says,“Music is wonderful stuff.It ties everyone together.”

Car clubs are alwayswelcome to the LangleyGood Times Cruise-In.by Troy [email protected]
A convoy of LAMBs willconverge upon downtownLangley this weekend.
No need to panic, or call theSPCA, because in this case,these are members of theLangley Area Mostly BritishMotoring Club (LAMB).
LAMB club members willbe showing their cars at theLangley Good Times Cruise-Inthis Saturday.
One of the largest show andshines in Canada, Cruise-Indraws as many as 100,000 carenthusiasts into Langley City,where hundreds of classicand souped-up cars, trucks,and motorcycles will be ondisplay.
Between 12 and 15 carsowned by LAMB members arescheduled to be on displayincluding a Morris Minor,MGTD, MGB, Rover, JaguarXJS, Healey, Austin 1800, andLotus.
“I believe we have a num-ber of cars that will be inDouglas Park for the Cruise-In,” LAMB club memberMartin Ross said. “We havehad cars in the show for a
number of years.”The concourse area in
Douglas Park is dedicated forfactory original cars.
“The British cars fit rightin there,” said Cruise-In pres-ident Eric Taylor, who is try-ing to encourage more clubmembers to participate, andmake their cars and trucksvisible, on the day of theevent.
“Any cars that show upas a group, we want to parkthem together, as long as theyshow up together. They needto stage together,” Taylor said“If we get car club groupstogether in one place, peoplewill be more inclined to jointhem. One of the things abouthaving car clubs in, is theytend to attract more people.The more people come, thebetter it is.”
Looking ahead to Saturday,the number of participantsand registrants involved inCruise-In is entirely weather-dependent, Taylor said.
“If there is good weatherright after the long week-end then come the Saturdaythe seventh, there will be alot of cars coming out,” hesaid. “That’s generally howit works out. We will havea tremendous turnout if wehave good summer weather. Ifit is threatening rain, that willreduce the numbers dramatic-ally.”

Car clubs are courtedTechnology changeswith time and so hasthe Cruise-In board.by Heather [email protected]
They drive vehiclesmade when the latestand greatest in technol-ogy was a black shel-lac disc that spun 78rotations per minute toproduce music.
But vintage and clas-sic auto enthusiasts willenjoy the newest intechnology introducedby the Langley Good TimesCruise-In.
To help create a sense of com-munity, new membership cardshave been unveiled for theLangley Cruise-In Club.
It is the size of a credit cardand includes a USB port to allowmembers to access the high-techcar community.
Memberships are available for$20 to the public for the first yearand a $10 annual maintenancefee.
“We’re going to be launchingit at Cruise-In,” said Rich Ulvild,the board member overseeingthis new venture.
People can stop by the AliveDrive bus near the show centreto find out more.
The memberships can also bepurchased through the non-profit
society’s website (www.langley-cruise-in.com) throughout theyear. Those funds cover the costof the project as well as help gen-erate more money for the Cruise-In causes.
This is not an online site but asecure and moderated web chan-nel.
“We’re going to supply a forumwhere you can share each other’sphotos, stories, videos…” saidpresident Eric Taylor. “It’s a carclub with no meetings that keepsyou plugged in.”
Membership has its privilegesand in this case, there is alreadymore than $500 in discounts,coupons and deals offered byvarious businesses.
And the amount is expectedto increase by Cruise-In, notedUlvild.
The webchannel willbe moder-ated and theCruise-In soci-ety retains theright to cancelmember-ships shouldanyone actinappropriate-ly, he noted.
The webchannel willbe activeyear round.Members willfind the offer-ings changeand the plan
is to also create a marketplacewhere people can find parts oroffer up items. There’s the oppor-tunity for contests, special pro-motions and whatever featuresthe members may want.
“Our sponsors are talking aboutit and they are seeing tremen-dous value in it,” Ulvild added.
Also on the technological side,the website has been upgraded tobe more interactive and informa-tive.
People can sign up to displaytheir vehicles at Cruise-In or findout about the event’s history andthe charities that have benefit-ted by this volunteer-organizedevent.
There’s information on the siteabout how to become a sponsorand how to follow Cruise-In viaFacebook and Twitter.

For more than 70 years,the Seattle CossacksMotorcycle Team haswowed crowds.
by Ronda [email protected]
The motorcycles them-selves are impressive, butwhat the Seattle CossacksMotorcycle Stunt and DrillTeam do with those 1930sto 1940s Harley Davidson’sis even more significant.
For the first time ever,the stunt team is coming toCruise-In – quite an honouraccording to Martin Brown,the vice president of theLangley-based motor vehicleevent, since the team hasn’tbeen to Canada in eightyears.
“They do driving motor-cycle stunts that are gym-nastic and acrobatic,”Brown said. “It’s a verylively display.”
The team of about 20members who continueto build on a history thatbegan in the late 1930s willjoin the abundance of thingsto see at Cruise-In.
As the original groupformed, they established aset of bylaws that includes“To entertain and promote
the positive image of motor-cycling.”
This isn’t some weekendstunt team. These guys taketheir jobs seriously withmandatory practices, newmembers being “rookies”for a year, and someoneonly joining the team onrecommendation from anexisting member.
Some people may thinkthe classic bikesare “babied”, butBrown points outthat simply isn’ttrue.
“They usethese bikes rain or shinefor their performances,”he said. “They don’t babythem. They really workthem.”
The team rides in variousformations including climb-ing onto their teammatesand balancing while thebikes continue to move.
Named after the Russiancavalry members, knownas the Cossacks, this teamdoes similar stunts on their“iron horses” as those indi-viduals did.
“They’ll be bringing about14 bikes,” Brown noted.“The oldest is a 1930VL andthe newest is a 1949WL.”
Shows will run at 10 a.m.,noon, and 2 p.m. in theCascades Parking lot closestto the hotel entrance.
Performance
Riders offer thrillsPeople won’t be disappointedwhen it comes to souvenirs.by Ronda [email protected]
The boxes are piled high in theCruise-In office. Soon these boxeswill make their way to the foun-tain at Fraser Highway and GloverRoad to be part of the Cruise-
In souvenir booth, anexpectation of car showaficionados.
Lori Watts, one ofthe original membersof Cruise-In, is with
the Greater Langley Chamber ofCommerce, a sponsor of the event.
“I have about 25 [shirt] boxes.It’s all going up the wall in the[Cruise-In] office,” Watts said
of the supply of souvenirs thatarrived a little over a week ago.
“We have added other items in,in prior years, we’ve tried otherthings, but the big things are thehats, shirts, licence plates, dashplaques, and posters.”
With souvenirs being sold at theevent for the past 16 years, theCruise-In team has a good ideaof what goes over well and whatdoesn’t.
Watts noted that she’s been partof the crew from the start, givingher great insight into what sells.
“Right from the very beginning,”Watts said of her tenure. “I’m theonly founding member [of Cruise-In] left.”
The souvenir booth runs from9 a.m. until the end of the eventon Saturday. Along with the stan-dard fare, tickets for the Ultimate
Garage can be purchased at thebooth for $10 each or 3 for $25.
This year’s Ultimate Garage is$20,000 worth of garage ware fromLordco.
All proceeds from souvenir andUltimate Garage ticket sales go toCruise-In.
“It’s pretty minimal,” Watts saidof the souvenir stand line-up. “It’swhat the car guys want, so wegive them what they want.”
Watts added that to find outshow details, timing, and otherinformation about this year’sCruise-In, check out the LangleyGood Times Cruise-In website.

The Schmids havethe smallest cars atCruise-In.by Ronda [email protected]
Ernie Schmid is notentirely sure why he andhis wife Bonnie spendthe excessive amount
it takes to set up theirstand to sell die-cast cars.It’s by far the largest die-cast booth at Cruise-In.
“We can’t stop buy-ing, we love to shop,” hesaid.
The couple has a base-ment full of die-castcars that has no specifictheme or vehicle type toadhere to.
“We snowbird in
California, where we finda few,” Schmid said.
“Anything we like webuy. We’re open. We’renot prejudiced,” headded with a laugh.
For the past five years,the couple has had thou-sands of cars and a fewmetal signs at Cruise-In.They are thankful theyget some help from theCruise-In team.
“It’s just the two ofus,” Schmid noted.“Sometimes some of theCruise-In people feel alittle sorry for us andcome and help.”
One year Schmid’swife was ill just prior tothe show. The Cruise-In group pitched in andhelped. They also helpwith the take-down.

Police will be out in sizeable numbersand watching out for dangerous ordrunk driving.by Matthew [email protected]
Langley’s Mounties are expectinga repeat of last year’s Good TimesCruise-In when it comes to policing– meaning there will be plenty ofofficers around, but no major prob-lems expected.
Police have consistently had mostof their issues with non-sanctionedevents taking place the night beforeCruise-In.
On the Friday night, IndustrialAvenue between 200th and 203rdStreets became a popular spot tostage burnouts and for some driversto peel out at high speeds.
In 2011, the Langley RCMP gath-ered a large number of officers near-by; the burnouts started at around7 p.m. and stopped abruptly at 7:10p.m. when police in cars, on bikes,and on foot descended on the area
by the dozen.Last year the area was quiet and
heavily policed.Other drivers have created an
informal cruising route that includesthe nearby Tim Horton’s on GloverRoad, and Fraser Highway. Thatevent has typically gone smoothly.
Police will be concentrating ondriving and liquor offenses through-out the weekend, and will havepolice on foot and bike patrolsamong the crowds downtown duringthe actual Cruise-In in downtownLangley City.

Dear Anne“My container fig tree is about three
to four years old, with one and a halfdozen figs that are smallish, hard,and showing no signs of ripening. Itis planted in a 14”x14”x14” container.Could you suggest a fertilizer to helpfruit ripen? I am planning to root-pruneand top-cut it next February and repotit in the same container.”
Barbara, via email
There’s no fertilizer that canhelp figs ripen. Figs comefrom warmer climates,where they easily ripen
two crops a year. Non-ripening figsbelong to the second “breba” crop.Our cooler climate doesn’t givebreba figs enough time to grow andripen before cold weather arrives.
The first-crop figs ripen easily inthis climate. The fruits form in thefall on new shoots, and overwinteras tiny nubs in leaf axils. Winterfrost kills the tiny embryo figs.
To get a crop at all, concentrateon the earlier crop. Prune the fig’sbranches in June. That triggers newshoots, which produce microscopicembryo figs in late fall. Then thefig tree needs to be protected from
frost over winter, so thebaby figs stay healthy. Acontainer on a stand withwheels or rollers can bemoved into the housewhen frost is predicted, ormove the tree as close tothe house as possible, andin cold snaps, cover it withthick cloth or a clear plasticframe.
Pruning the fig tree in fall or earlyspring will remove branches thatmight have given an early crop offigs. The root-cut is a good idea, asfigs are vigorous trees. You’ll prob-ably have to decide which branchesto cut in June if some of the earlycrop is still getting ripe. Ripeningdates can be variable.
Dear Anne,“Some of my tomatoes have
developed black rot at the end. Also,I have a tall ornamental onion with alarge flower head that turns from budsto seed. The blooms don’t open.”
N. Howden, via email
Your tomatoes have blossomend rot, a common tomatoailment, especially in acid
soils. It’s usu-ally caused byuneven water-ing and/or alack of calcium.
It may be toolate to correctit this year, ifyour tomatoesare outside, but
you could try to gently scratch somelime around your tomato plants.It wouldn’t be too late for green-house tomatoes. It’s also importantto make sure tomato soil is gentlymoist all the time.
Next year, dig some dolomite limeinto the future tomato bed. Thealkalinity of the lime counteractsacid soil and adds calcium. Alsonext year, retain moisture by addingmanure or compost into the plantingholes, and mulch the plants to helpretain moisture.
As for the ornamental allium:some alliums have an extremelyshort bloom time. My guess isthat this one was in very dry soiland flowered in a blistering hotspell. That guarantees the bloomswouldn’t last long.

With a mix of returningplayers and rookies,Langley’s B.C. HockeyLeague team kicks off itsseason Friday in Chilliwack.by Troy [email protected]
The Langley Rivermenhave two pairs of rathersizeable skates to fill
this B.C. Hockey League sea-son.
The Rivermen will have to findways to replace the league’s lead-ing scorer from last year, MarioPuskarich, along with his line-mate (and Edmonton Oilers fifth-round draft pick) Evan Campbell,both of whom have graduatedto the NCAA level with Vermontand UMass-Lowell, respectively.
Puskarich led the BCHL ingoals (41) and points (89) whilefinishing second in assists with48 during the 2012/13 campaign.
He was on the receiving endof many of Campbell’s passes.Campbell finished the campaignwith 46 assists to go along withhis 20 goals, to place second inRivermen scoring and sixth in theleague in points.
Team-wise, the ’Mensqueaked into the post-season with a 24-26-1-5
record, good for fourth in theMainland Division.
During the opening round ofthe 2013 playoffs, the eventualBCHL champion and Royal BankCup finalist Surrey Eagles dis-patched the Rivermen in fourgames in their best-of-five series.
Returning head coach BobbyHenderson won’t be content withhis team simply making the play-offs this season.
“We get a couple of boun-ces and who knows, really?”Henderson said, reflecting onlast year’s series against Surrey.“That’s definitely the expecta-tion this year: we’re not satisfiedgetting in [to the post-season]or going through a couple ofrounds. We want to be playinguntil May.”
And while he knowsreplacing the 61 goals thatPuskarich and Campbell
put up last season will be tough,Henderson believes he has thepersonnel to put a scare intoopposing defences.
Langley’s offence will be ledby returning forwards includ-ing captain Mitch McLain (14goals, 32 points last year), JamesRobinson (nine goals, 42 points),Austin Azurdia (18 goals, 35points), Evan Anderson (11goals, 31 points), Jakob Reichert(nine goals, 28 points), and MattUstaski (11 goals, 27 points), toname a few.
“Obviously we’re giving up alot of goals from the lineup butwith the guys that we have com-ing back, they’re a year more
mature, so we might have abit better team depth overall upfront,” Henderson said.
From what he’s seen so far,Henderson has been impressedwith the play of 19-year-oldUstaski, a hulking 6’5” wingerfrom Glenview, Ill.
“Ustaski’s really taken the nextstep,” Henderson said. “He’sleading the charge during theexhibition season, offensively, sofar. It’s what we’ve expected. It’skind of taken a little longer to getit going but he looks good rightnow.”
McLain steps into the roleof captain. Asked if hefeels any added
pressurewearingthe ‘C’he said,“No pres-sure. It’s anhonour buteveryone onthe team hasa role andeveryone’s gotto perform.”
While he’dnaturally like toimprove uponlast year’s statsto help the team,McLain saidoffence will takecare of itself.
“There’s many ways you canwin a hockey game,” he said.“We have a lot of skilled guyswho can score, but obviously youwant to contribute as much asyou can.”
On defence, Henderson isexcited about the additionof 1994-born defenceman
Chris Forney, who hails fromThief River Falls, Minn. andplayed for Thief River Falls High,scoring five goals and 11 assistsin 22 games.
Joining him on the bluelineare returning defenceman ViktorDombrovskiy, Tanner Johnson,Austin Bietenbeck, and MarkWhiteley, along with fellowBCHL freshman and Minnesotahockey product Tony Bretzman.
“Bretzman and Chris Forneyare both from Minnesota, andthey are pretty highly sought-after players out of the state,”Henderson said. “They’re bothgetting a lot of attention from alot of colleges already.”
Twenty-year-oldTravis Maxwelladds a veteranpresence and somesandpaper on theback end.
A native of FoxRiver Grove, Ill.,Maxwell split timelast season in theUnited States HockeyLeague with the LincolnStars and the Austin Bruins of theNorth American Hockey League.
“We’ve got a lot of depth backthere [on defence]
this year,”Henderson said.
JamesBarr pro-vides the
last line ofdefence. Barrwas a work-horse in thenet last sea-son, making47 appear-ances with21 winsand a3.48 goalsagainstaverage.
BCHL rook-ies on the ’Men’s opening nightroster include Forney, Bretzman,Spencer Grigull, BrendonKearney, Marcus Vela, goaltenderBrock Crossthwaite, and localboys Brendan Gulka and DarienCraighead, son of BCHL alumnusand former NHLer John.
“Tough to tell what his pro-duction will be like early,”Henderson said, regarding the 16-year-old Craighead, “but I think,over the course of time, he’sgoing to be a force.”
Vela, the Rivermen’s other1997-born prospect who playedmidget hockey in Burnaby lastseason, is already fielding full-ride scholarship offers from uni-versities.
Attendance-wise, theRivermen are hopingto grow their fan base.
Averaging 1,137 fans through 29home games during the 2012/13campaign sounds impressive,but it still left swaths of blueseats (entire sections, in fact)available in a Langley EventsCentre arena bowl that can seat
more than 4,000 fans at cap-acity.
The ’Men will be competingfor entertainment dollars withthe newly relocated VancouverStealth, a National LacrosseLeague team that will debut atthe LEC in the new year.
At the LEC, the NLL hasproven to be wildly popular inpast exhibition games and inthe championship final that theStealth was involved in this pastspring.
The Rivermen will be sharingthe LEC’s arena bowl with theStealth through the second half oftheir season.
Hendersonbelieves theteam will drawfrom its alreadydedicated fanbase.
“I believeour fan basehas beengrowingpretty muchevery year,”he said.“I don’tthink theStealth willbe a factor. Ifanything, it will be good for us.It will give some exposure to thebuilding. We have a nice littlegroup of die-hard fans that areat every home game and we’restarting to see them on the road.”
Rivermen fans can expectto see a fast, highly skilledteam that will battle hard
every night, the head coachadded.
“The compete level is huge,”Henderson said. “It’s the firstthing that scouts ask about.”
On the subject of competitive-ness, McLain feels the Rivermenwill be a hard team to playagainst.
“Night in, night out, we’re
going to be tough,” he said.“We’re offensive but we’re goingto take care of the defensivezone, and everyone’s going tocompete.”
Ultimately, McLain said “thebig picture” is winning a cham-pionship.
“That’s definitely on everyone’smind but you can only play onegame at a time, so we’ll take careof one night and see where weare in the future,” he said.
Joining Henderson behindthe bench this season areassociate head coaches Jon
Calvano and Kurt Astle.Calvano spent three seasons as
head coach and general managerof the rivalCoquitlamExpress,and led theExpress totwo BCHLplayoffberths whilesetting ateam recordfor mostpoints in aseason.
Astle, whoalso playedat Merrimackand St.
Norbert colleges, starred in theSaskatchewan Junior HockeyLeague, leading the SJHL in scor-ing during the 2006/07 season.
The Rivermen open theirseason Friday, taking onthe Trail Smoke Eaters
as part of the BCHL Showcaseweekend at the Prospera Centrein Chilliwack. On Sunday after-noon, they meet the MerrittCentennials at Prospera.
McLain said it’s vital that theRivermen get off to a flying start.
“It’s huge,” he said. “We justneed to go in there and take careof business. Get the four pointsand take it from there.”

There were few brightspots for the NorthLangley Bears duringtheir season-openingloss to the AbbotsfordBlack Falcons.by Chris HurleyContributor
In a rematch of last sea-son’s Valley CommunityFootball League juniorbantam final, the NorthLangley Bears opened theseason with a 24-0 shutoutloss at the hands of theAbbotsford Black Falcons.
The game began as adefensive struggle withneither team able to con-sistently move the balluntil the second quarter.
Facing relentless pres-sure from a blitzingFalcons defence Bears,North Langley quarterbackJacob Stebbings completedpasses to Connor Hurley,
Reid MacTaggart, and KenMcLean.
Stebbings also led theBears running attack with42 yards on six carries.
Pablo Wigwigan, RyanTaylor, and Hurley all car-ried the ball for a Bearsoffence that proved able tomove the ball early on, but
couldn’t get the ball acrossthe goal line.
Cadeyrn Barthelson,Taylor, and Hurleyanchored a stubborn Bearsdefence with key tackles.
Nick Lacroix picked offan Abbotsford pass in thefourth quarter, snuffingout a late Falcons’ drive.

Local dragon boat teams qualifiedfor the world championships beingheld in Italy next September.
Crews with the Fort Langley CanoeClub (FLCC) showed the depth of theirpaddling prowess at three different drag-on boat regattas recently.
Three elite FLCC women’s teams– Abreast with Fortitude (breast cancersurvivors), Fast and Furious (49-plusaged women, Senior B Division), andTitanium (59-plus, Senior C) – competedin the Canadian Nationals Club CrewChampionships at Elk Lake near VictoriaAug. 24-25.
The Abreast with Fortitude paddlersbattled an amazing armada of strongbreast cancer survivor teams to win sil-ver in their division.
The Titanium crew, comprising ofmany inexperienced paddlers, surprisedtheir competition to finish a strong thirdto win bronze in their division.
After two disappointing 500-metreraces on Aug. 24, Fast and Furious teammembers threw some karma into the mixfor the Aug. 25 racing by passing outfood and drink the previous evening tothe homeless in Victoria.
Whether good karma or their hardtraining, the team placed in a toughevenly matched 200 metre sprint race onthe Sunday, missing second place by .04seconds.
