Thousands of dead fish discovered in Brydon Lagoon DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

D AN F E RGUSON L an gley Tim es

Steff D’Agorne and Ben Evers-Staples were part of a six-person LEPS crew that was scooping out hundreds of dead fish from Brydon Lagoon Tuesday morning (Aug. 5).

It was the worst fish kill ever recorded at the 29-year-old lagoon.

“It was all along the shoreline,” said Sandy Hanawalt, whose home overlooks Brydon Lagoon near 198 Street and 53 Avenue.

“Various parts of the shoreline were thick with them.”

The dead fish drew swarms of birds to feast.

By the time a six-person crew from the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) arrived to clean out the lagoon on Tuesday, hundreds, mostly smaller fish, still remained.

LEPS interim executive director Sarah Atherton said a water quality test carried out by the society about two weeks earlier found oxygen levels in the lagoon water were low, likely the result of dead algae. (It was part of a study carried out for

the non-profit Langley Field Naturalists).

“As it decomposes, the algae consumes oxygen,” Atherton said.

In response to a Times question, she said hot weather, of the kind seen since the test was carried out, would likely accelerate the process.

Langley City installed two new aeration pumps in the lagoon in 2012 to help with oxygen levels, but one has been malfunctioning.

“It keeps on shorting out,” said Francis Cheung, the city’s chief administrative officer.

Whenever the pump has failed, city crews have been able to restart it, but the reason for the failures hasn’t been determined.

“We’re still trying to figure it [the failures] out,” Cheung said.

Cheung said initial indications are the extreme hot weather is probably the prin-

cipal cause of the fish deaths, not any failure of the aeration pump.

He added a biologist will be taking samples and conducting tests to see if there is another explanation.

The Brydon Park lagoon was created when a decommissioned sewage settling pond became part of a nature park around 1985.

The park was the idea of the Langley Field Naturalists, who convinced the city to turn the pond and a nearby wooded area into a park and raised funds, planted trees and bushes and upgraded the trails.

Field Naturalists president Bob Puls said the group has been trying for years to convince the city to dredge the lagoon, something that would reduce the risk of future fish kills.

“Something needs to be done,” Puls said.

MP optimistic ‘common sense’ will prevail in Figueroa case M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r te r

José Figueroa hopes to clear his name once and for all in Federal Court on Aug. 14 in Vancouver.

Figueroa’s lawyer is hoping to get a certificate indicating that the Langley father of three is not on any terrorist list because the group he supported while living in El Salvador during the civil war is not on any federal terrorist list.

The court hearing was delayed from July.

The fact that the FMLN isn’t on any list has already been agreed upon verbally by both Immigration Canada and the courts, but the certificate would provide reassurance and help solidify any doubts, he said.

“This certificate we are looking for will constitute proof that I don’t pose a security risk and also would help to clear up my name against the allegation of mem-

bership with a terrorist organization,” said Figueroa.

He can’t attend the hearing because he has sought sanctuary for the past nine months at his church. But he will listen in via telephone conference.

The Canadian Border Service Agency still have an arrest warrant out for him and continue to watch Figueroa all the time.

The CBSA put out an arrest warrant for him to be detained in October 2013.

He can’t understand why the CBSA won’t drop the arrest warrant given the Federal Court has ordered a new review into his case to stay in Canada permanently.

Langley MP Mark Warawa is optimistic that “common sense will prevail and José will be able to stay in Canada for good.”

“The FMLN has never been deemed a terrorist organization. Jose has never presented any risk to Canada. In fact, it is in the best interest of Canada to have a con-

tributing citizen like Jose live here,” said Warawa.

Warawa can’t explain why his government hasn’t told the CBSA to drop the arrest warrant or why the Minister of Public Safety hasn’t just stepped in and cleared Figueroa to stay in Canada.

“I think the initial decision [by one Immigration officer in Ottawa] to deport Mr. Figueroa caused things to go off the rails.

But I think common sense will prevail for him and they won’t separate this family.”

He points to the oddity of it all as there is an El Salvador embassy in Ottawa.

“They have diplomats there and have a good working relationship with Canada and they are all FMLN,” he said.

Warawa said he has requested a timeline for when Immigration Canada will review Figueroa’s case again but so far, he has had no reply.

“We will stay on top of this,” he said.

But Warawa said he has never visited Figueroa in sanctuary, deeming that action “inappropriate” because of his position as an MP and Figueroa’s deportation order.

Figueroa expects a delegation from El Salvador to be present at his court hearing. The Consul of El Salvador in Vancouver will be there as well.

“We Are Jose” supporters will rally outside the courts again and numerous supporters will witness the hearing, including pastors and clergy from several different churches.

“Right now it is very important to get the community involved into writing to the ministers and also there is a new petition asking the ministers to take note on the decision of the Federal Court,” said Figueroa.

Go to the “We Are José” Facebook page to link to the petition or go to change.org. So far 247 people have signed it.

FR ANK B UCHOLTZ L an gley Tim es

A construction worker turns onto the still-unfinished Mufford Overpass on Tuesday. The overpass will be open to single-lane traffic on Monday, Aug. 18, and Mufford Crescent will be closed from 62 Avenue to Highway 10 (Glover Road). The existing left turn onto Mufford will be closed, ending years of traffic jams at the intersection. Glover Road traffic will be able to access Mufford via the overpass.

Mufford Overpass opens on Aug. 18 FR AN K B U CH O LT Z Tim e s Re po r t e r

The last of five overpasses being built in Langley and eastern Surrey as part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor program will be initially opened to traffic on Monday, Aug. 18.

A notice from contractor Columbia Bitulithic says that the Mufford Overpass will be open to single-lane traffic on that day, and that the existing Mufford Crescent between 62 Avenue and Highway 10 (Glover Road) will be closed.

Work is not complete on the

Mufford project, the most elaborate of the overpasses. It is designed so that traffic from Glover Road can access Mufford Crescent, which has been widened to four lanes between the Willowbrook Connector (at 64 Avenue) and the overpass.

As part of the project, 64 Avenue has been improved east of Glover Road and a traffic light installed at 64 Avenue and 216 Street. However, the overpass is designed so that traffic for the Willowbrook commercial area will travel onto Mufford via Highway 10.

Work will continue on the project after the initial opening.

Completion is several months away.

Meanwhile, the 192 Street overpass, the last of the three in the “Combo Project,” is now open to traffic. Work is still being done on several approaches to it. The 196 Street and 54 Avenue overpasses were officially opened in June, and the 232 Street overpass north of Highway 1 opened earlier this year.

Even these projects may not be enough, Langley Township recently heard. (See story, page 7).

Another parking solution proposed for Yorkson USING UNFINISHED ART ERIAL W OU LD SOLVE SHORTAGE OF VISIT OR SPO TS, R ESIDENT S SAY DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

D AN F E RGUSON L an gley Tim es

Ashish Kapoor said Yorkson residents would support temporary parking on 80 Avenue because it would allow time to find a more permanent solution to a shortage of visitor parking.

A solution to the shortage of visitor parking in the Yorkson neighbourhood of Willoughby is closer, but it won’t come in time for the summer holidays.

Langley Township council was considering a staff proposal that would have introduced time-limited parking, but decided against it after a delegation from the community said the wrong locations were chosen.

Resident Levy Manuel told council when representatives from the neighbourhood met with Township staff on July 18, they thought it was to discuss time-limited parking on the four-lane stretch of 80 Avenue near 211 and 212 Streets.

Instead, they were presented with a plan to impose time limits on the existing street parking for visitors.

“Unfortunately, we did not get very far,” Manuel said.

Manuel suggested council could increase parking this summer by doing what was done over the Christmas holi-

ASHISH KAPOOR

days, when enforcement of the no-parking area in the wider portion of 80 Avenue was briefly lifted.

The avenue will become an arterial road when the rest of it gets widened to four lanes, but that is still several years away.

Resident Ashish Kapoor said introducing temporary time-limited visitor parking on 80 Avenue until the widening is finished would be “quite a reasonable compromise” that would provide immediate relief and give everyone time to find a permanent solution to the frustrating lack of parking places for visiting friends and family.

Several members of council seemed inclined to give the residents what they wanted, but not until staff were given another opportunity to review the matter.

Councillor Kim Richter said the four-lane section of 80 Avenue should be opened up to parking “until the arterial road has been fully built out.”

Councillor Bob Long said he couldn’t see why the four lanes could not be used for parking in non-peak hours.

Councillor Steve Ferguson said the Township should give the idea a try and see if works.

“I believe it will work,” Ferguson added.

A majority of council voted to send the matter back to staff.

The July 21 decision means the parking issue is unlikely to be addressed until the end of summer, because Township council is not expected to meet again until September.

Kapoor was still encouraged by the council comments, saying it shows all concerned are “inching slowly toward a solution.”

A coal freighter takes on a load at the Roberts Bank terminal in Delta. Most of the coal loaded there comes through Langley on CN and CP trains. Port activity at the Roberts Bank terminal is expected to increase in the future.

New overpasses ‘may not be enough’ DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

A senior official from Port Metro Vancouver has indicated newlybuilt rail overpasses may not be enough to handle future increases in train traffic through Langley.

Cliff Stewart, vice-president of infrastructure delivery at Port Metro Vancouver, was giving what he called a “state of the port” presentation to the July 14 afternoon meeting of Township council.

Under questioning from council, Stewart said when the new overpasses going up along the rail line to the Deltaport container terminal were designed, about 10 years ago, they were engineered to handle all expected future expansions in port capacity, including the creation of a new terminal 2.

But the capacity of both the existing Deltaport and the planned new terminal have grown above that forecast, Stewart said.

“We’re back looking

at what the incremental train movements are likely to be,” Stewart said.

“Those studies are underway right now … to see what infrastructure, if any, is required to address the incremental differences.”

Councillor David Davis was one of several members of council who warned Stewart people in Langley are worried about increased congestion on the rail corridor that divides

their community.

“The railroad can be almost as bad as a river or an international border,” Davis said.

“It’s good for business, but it can slow a community down.”

The port authority has announced a Gateway Transportation Collaboration Forum (GTCF) to review all the road, rail, truck and marine transportation issues within the area it serves.

A July 14 memo from the Township engi-

neering division to council said Port Metro told engineering staff it is not planning to study the impact of the increased train traffic on the many at-grade rail crossings within the Township.

The memo called the GTCF “inadequate to effectively examine and address the municipal concerns” because it will not focus on the impact of increased rail traffic resulting from terminal 2.

It’s good that the provincial government and B.C. Teachers Federation are preparing to sit down and talk about the teachers’ contract once again.

A talking session, which may lead to some bargaining, is planned for Friday.

There needs to be an agreement between the two sides within the next few weeks, if classes are to resume as planned on Sept. 2.

Teachers need to be back at work, and students need to be learning. The reality is that there was little learning in the final month of school, due to rotating walkouts and an eventual full-fledged strike. This needs to change, because students do not automatically adjust to changing circumstances of a labour dispute in the same way that adults do.

Intensive bargaining is needed, and parents are hoping there will be a settlement coming.

Question langeytimes.com

How do you stop a provincial government in its tracks, and make it run for cover, and hide behind old legislation?

Put a blueberry in front of it.

Or perhaps more accurately, a blueberry backed up by a propane cannon.

Victoria has been utterly ineffective in dealing with a controversy that has grown from a virtual blip on the public radar 15 years ago to a full-blown controversy involving numerous communities, and countless residents and farmers. At issue are Audible Bird Scare Devices, or ABSDs. How this ever grew from a very bad idea to a “normal” farming practice is hard to comprehend, but here we are.

There are hundreds of these infernal devices around the region, blasting away at deafening decibel levels, multiple times per minute — some all day, every day.

Not only did they gain popularity as a way to keep starlings and other birds off the lucrative blueberry crops, cannons became enshrined in the Right to Farm Act, behind which cluster provincial politicians when pushed by frustrated, stressed citizens for relief from the maddening racket.

The current situation is untenable in the long-term. The farming act is outdated, unreflective of what’s happening today. It’s also clear that viable alternatives to cannons exist for blueberry farmers. Many farms don’t use cannons, for a variety of reasons, including a shared dislike of the noise, and a willingness to try other methods such as falcons, streamers and kites.

Flying drone aircraft also hold strong promise as an effective, far less intrusive solution.

A number of things need to happen on this issue.

The shallow, ignorant argument so frequently put forth in response to cannon complainants — “You shouldn’t have moved next door to a blueberry farm?” — needs to be muzzled.

The reality of the situation is that, blueberry farms are proliferating, commonly on acreage that once grew other, less lucrative crops.

Many homeowners who have lived peacefully for years on their property suddenly find themselves cheek to jowl with a blueberry field that never existed previously.

Civic governments also wear responsibility for approving residential zoning next to agricultural land, with little to no thought or care as to how this interface will manifest into conflict, especially when some of those farms switch from “silent” crops to blueberry farming, and choose cannons as their bird protection.

The blueberry industry has become a juggernaut, and is poised to grow even larger as new Asian markets are opened up. Thousands of acres of land now growing cow feed or corn or raspberries are likely to be converted if the blue bonanza continues.

This problem isn’t going to go away. It’s going to get worse.

All manner of industries face strident regulations and restrictions on what they can and cannot do. Among them, the blueberry industry has been a sacred cow that needs to be led down a more contemporary path. The provincial government has to grow a bigger set of berries, and finally tackle this issue.

Neighbours Children are not getting help not surprised at 236 St. bust Editor: “856 gang members arrested at huge home in Langley,” (The Times, July 31).

Finally, something has happened to bring the police to that “huge” house on 236 Street.

For years, we neighbours have had to put up with garbage on the property, eight to 10 cars parked on the road, and dirt, dirt and more dirt covering our roads from the endless truck loads of dirt the property owner has brought in. Don’t you need a permit to bring truckloads of fill in? Isn’t there a limit to what you can bring in?

It is a complete disgrace to the neighbourhood.

This house is not conforming to anything around here.

According to the police, there are six suites in this “single family” house.

Now will the Township wake up and come back and re-inspect this monster house, and confirm that over 20 people live in this house?

Why? Was a permit issued to a single family for a 13,000-plus square foot home with 13 “storage” rooms?

Why was this owner allowed to fill in the ditches so the road gets covered with water?

Why was this owner allowed to clearcut five acres and destroy dozens of beautiful trees, exposing this eyesore of a property to all the neighbours? Not a single tree has been in their place?

Why has this owner been allowed to drag out the building of this home for years, and never finish the landscaping?

Rumour has it he is planning the largest, most unsightly black iron fence — “just to annoy my neighbours,” he has been heard to say.

And now we find out they have a drug lab operating over there? The owner is clearly claiming ignorance that he didn’t know.

Aren’t landlords now responsible for tenants?

Shouldn’t this owner be accountable for activities that go on in his own house?

Is he even here? He spends six months a year in India.

The City of Langley and Langley Township are “cracking down” on illegal suites? Really? Well, I think it’s time they stopped harassing homeowners in Willoughby and start looking at these mansions getting built on acreage, because clearly with illegal suites comes illegal activity.

I am one of many upset neighhours on 236 Street.

NAME WITHHELD, LANGLEY

Editor: I would like to share my thoughts about the debacle the government has created in its dealings with our education system and teachers.

I am an education assistant (EA) and deal every day with all the children being left behind, or left out completely, in the education system. It is shameful. I have cried many times at home and work due to the stress and heartbreak of seeing children struggling daily in this environment.

There are too many kids, and too many types of learners in one class.

My heart hurts when I see children that need support but don’t “qualify.” They are left to struggle with bits of help offered by staff who want to be able to give them everything, but have nothing substantial to give them.

Some kids qualify for assistance but are not a behaviour problem, so they have their hours used for someone who causes trouble or just doesn’t qualify for the help they need.

As an EA, I have worked hard to teach children how to read and behave in a classroom. These are kids that have a chance to have jobs and fuller lives later on in life. Then I watch as the principal has to make that choice to take away the hours they have, and still need, to give to another in more need. It is awful.

The first child gets a bit of help, starts to make progress, and then gets the rug pulled out from under them. They can “get along” in school — who cares if they stagnate or regress? Who cares if they don’t have friends because they need help understanding how to play the games that others just “get?”

What about the “typical” kids who are having problems understanding a subject? They don’t count in this system either — they don’t “qualify” for help because they have no special needs.

B.C. can have anywhere from 25 to 30 students (elementary) or 35 (high school) in a classroom. There is no cap on how many kids with special needs (who require Individual Education Plans, known as IEPs) are allowed in each class.

Special needs help is given in a group for the school — not per child. This means if your child qualifies for 15 hours, another for 20 and yet another for full-time, they could all be put into the classroom with the full-time student and the extra 35 hours may be given to others who need help but maybe haven’t or don’t qualify, under this government’s funding structure.

Special assistance teaching positions (for kids with special needs and behaviour issues) have been combined or cut completely. This support, including learning support, ESL, and special education, is now mostly done by one person for a growing number of kids.

Assistance for teachers in class (no matter how many special needs, learning disabilities or behaviour issues are in the classroom) is limited to one education assistant. This person does not just help assigned students, they help anyone that needs attention in class — if they are able. Some end up with six to eight kids on their job list, while only one, two or three are actually “qualified” to receive help.

Students with behaviour issues such as ADHD, ADD and ODD do not get education assistants, unless lumped in with kids who qualify for hours. They get childcare worker time, if they qualify. These positions have been cut too.

Kids who learn “typically” and have no special needs will be taught as much as possible, as fast as possible due to the teacher having too many kids in the classroom.

Advanced kids? These children will spend a lot of time being very bored. They will get the same education as the others — just not be able to do anything further than the lessons provided. The teacher does not have the time to put together a special program to challenge their minds.

Yet at a childcare facility, the ratios are amazingly different. A childcare facility can refuse to look after your child if they are disruptive due to behaviour issues or special needs they can’t deal with. A facility cannot look after any special needs children without having proper supervision and care for those children (assistants), or for all other kids.

Public schools and teachers cannot turn anyone away and have to deal with the kids’ problems, with or without assistance. Nor do teachers need to be properly trained to deal with these issues.

In school, a child needs to focus and have the ability to ask questions to learn what they need for use in life and learn how to be safe. If they receive special assistance if necessary to learn, a ratio of 1/25 or 1/30 is considered OK. There is also no limit on how many special needs students are in a class, or whether they have support and assistance.

CATHY CLEMIS, LANGLEY

The CPR was not here first Editor: The Canadian Pacific Railway was not here first.

The CPR was not here in Langley first, second or even third. The mainline of the CPR went right through our farm in Harrison Mills, on the north side of the Fraser River.

Any school kid knows that the CPR rail line was joined east to west at Craigellachie, about 20 miles west of Revelstoke, on Nov. 7, 1885. (This was the famous last spike ceremony).

Both the B.C. Electric and Canadian National Railways were in Langley long before the CPR set its greedy roots

down to reach Roberts Bank — at no cost to the CPR, of course. The CPR rejects the meaning of the word “pay.”

It is wrong for anyone, including letter writer Simon Field (The Times, July 31), to say that the CPR was here first.

Insofar as being concerned about wasting taxpayer dollars, does Field not mind the boondoggling of millions of taxpayer dollars on overpasses? These are something the CPR should pay the entire cost of. Unlike him, I do mind, and I was in Langley long before the CPR was.

To Kelowna by bike — in one day

Ryan Jones travelled to Kelowna today (Thursday), on a bicycle.

The Langley man was planning to begin his ride at 3 a.m. at the Langley Hospice Society office on 48 Avenue, and arrive in the Okanagan city in the evening, after cycling 378 kilometres in one day. He is taking on the ambitious ride to raise funds for Langley Hospice Society.

Jones is doing so in memory of his wife Andrea’s mother, Laurie Lemon, who died June 5, 2012. Because of the excellent care and treatment she received from Langley Hospice Society when she was dying of cancer, the couple (who were married on July 26) came up with the Lemon Love Ride.

Jones grew up in Aldergrove and Lemon is from Langley. He first became involved in raising funds to fight cancer after his father battled cancer. They took part together in the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

He and Lemon had known of each other, and connected via Facebook, and when they met in person, he was wearing his ride to Con-

Ryan Jones and Andrea Lemon sit on the bench in Fort Langley at the entrance to Bedford Landing that they purchased in memory of her mother, Laurie Ann Lemon. Jones is riding to Kelowna by bicycle today to remember her, and raise funds for Langley Hospice Society. quer Cancer jersey. They found they had a great deal in common and after getting together, decided they would like to do something for the hospice society.

While planning their wedding, Lemon also planned the ride. They have a web page with further details, and contributions can be made on the website. It can be found at http://

www.lemonloveride. tumblr.com/.

Lemon has also organized support vehicles, rest break location and all the myraid of details that go into an event of this type. She plans to ride the final 50 to 100 kilometres with Jones.

He has been doing extensive training for the ride, but still admits it will be quite a chal-

lenge, given the hills he will have to climb on both the Coquihalla and Okanagan Connector highways. He will be pedalling uphill for over 10,000 feet (almost three kilometres) — the equivalent of climbing a mountain.

As of a week ago, the couple had exceeded their fundraising goal of $10,000 by more than $3,000.

Making a move to South Surrey’s South Point Walk Streetside Developments is bringing convenience and luxury to South Surrey’s emerging neighbourhood of South Point with South Point Walk, a collection of condominiums that is close to everything you can possibly imagine.

“This is a very unique location,” says Vanessa Isler, marketing and sales manager for Streetside, a division of Qualico. “There aren’t too many suburban locations where you can walk two minutes to get a coffee or dinner.”

South Point Walk is just steps from shopping and dining at

South Point Exchange, as well as the boutiques at High Street via a walking path directly linking the two.

Homeowners will also have easy access to the U.S. border and Highway 99. Schools, golf courses and other leisure and recreation opportunities are also just minutes away.

The beauty and convenience of the location continues at the homes themselves. Outside, the West Coast contemporary architecture features bold roof lines, hardi shingles and arched brick accents. Each home has a large balcony, and the ground

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

floor homeowners will have a spacious patio and direct access to green space.

Inside, the kitchen includes classic shaker-style cabinetry, complemented by a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop and full-height ceramic tile backsplash. Stainlesssteel appliances, recessed pot lighting and under-cabinet task lighting all combine for a truly beautiful space.

The bathrooms are spa-inspired, with solid slab granite or Quartzite countertops and undermount basin sinks. The ensuite features contemporary flat panel cabinetry, in-floor heating and a hand-set ceramic tile tub or shower surround with marble tile accent. The second bathroom, where applicable, has shaker-style cabinetry and a deep soaker tub.

Streetside is counting down to the completion of the first phase this fall, and is currently offering a promotion on the available homes.

Homes at South Point Walk start at $226,900. For more information, visit www.southpointwalk.ca, call 604-560-3238 or visit the sales centre at South Point Exchange, 860-3014 152 Street, Surrey, open noon to 6 p.m. daily except Fridays.

Wildwood Lakefront Cottages are located on Washington’s Lake Whatcom, just 55 kilometres from the Blaine border. Right on the pristine shores of the lake, families will find plenty of activities, or just the perfect place to relax and enjoy spending time together.

Canadians are discovering Wildwood Lakefront Cottages

By Kerry Vital

Washington’s Lake Whatcom is a largely undiscovered gem for Canadians, yet it is only 55 kilometres south of the Blaine border!

Lake Whatcom is over 16 kilometres long and a pristine watershed. It serves as the drinking water for nearby Bellingham so it has stringent rules in place to protect it, and that makes swimming and all lake recreation even better.

At the south end of the lake on a quiet cove, a family campground called Wildwood has been a popular designation for Canadians since the 1950s. It has recently been redeveloped into a private cottage community and now you can purchase your own family getaway at Wildwood Lakefront Cottages, right on the picturesque shores at South Bay. The natural setting is one of the highlights of Wildwood, with its two streams, huge cedar trees and pristine lake and shoreline.

The Canadian developers have added in a tennis/ball hockey court, a swimming pool and hot tub, playground, walking trails, clubhouse, marina, and covered picnic pavilion to complement the lake activities.

“It’s a real family experience,” says Wayne Lyle, the developer’s Canadian spokesperson.

“Canadians are buying here for the legacy, for the memories.”

One of the big draws for Canadians is that the property is gated and private, has a resident on-site manager, and your landscaping is all looked after.

Whether you want to go fishing, take out the canoe or go for an evening swim, you’ll find a ton of outdoor activities available onsite. The private marina has 34 private boat slips and 15 mooring buoys, and a number of guest slips.

The cottages themselves are made for cozy family times, with five different floor plans to choose from and three natural colour schemes. The main floor features the living areas, sunny window seats, decked-out kitchens and one bedroom or one-bedroom plus den configurations with sleeping lofts above.

“Kids love the sleeping lofts; the ceilings are five feet in height,” Lyle says. “They think it’s built just for them!”

While not large in size, these are upscale cottages with hardwood flooring, quartz

countertops, stainless-steel appliances and stone fireplaces. Some of the cottages have rooftop decks that are perfect for star-gazing.

Each cottage includes a covered outdoor deck to give you that indoor-outdoor life that everyone loves in the summer, some with an outdoor fireplace.

You’ll also find an outdoor wood burning fire pit with every cottage, perfect for lazy fall nights full of stories and s’mores. Wildwood is also fortunate in that it has over 1,700 feet of waterfront; that means the furthest you can get from the lakefront from any cottage is

only 150 yards!

“This a great base camp for families,” Lyle says. “With many other Pacific Northwest attractions nearby and with the price of real estate in B.C., this lakefront property is certainly a very attractive alternative!”

Lots at Wildwood start at $160,000, and fully finished cottages including lots start at $330,000. For more information, visit www.wildwoodlakefrontcottages.com or call the Canadian office contact number at 1-855-588-7788. The site is open for tours on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., or any time by appointment except Sundays. Call today for an appointment!

White Spot gets ready for Adult Pirate Pak Day Maybe it is the gold coin that comes with every Pirate Pak, or it could be the ice cream that comes as the dessert. Either way Langley residents love their White Spot Pirate Paks.

The Langley White Spot, at 19658 Fraser Highway, has raised more money on Pirate Pak Day than any other location in B.C. for the last three years, serving more than 2,000 Pirate Pak last year alone.

This year, the two Langley White Spots are hoping to do it all again on Wednesday, Aug. 13 when adults can feel like kids again and enjoy Adult Pirate Pak Day. A $2 donation from each adult Pak goes to support Zajac Ranch for kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities.

To accommodate the growing popularity of Pirate Pak Day in Langley, tents are being set up and the ‘car-hop’ service is being expanded.

“Our whole team looks forward to Pirate Pak Day,” said Langley White Spot general manager Shelley Lemmen.

“We’ve been preparing ever since last year. Everything is in ship-

shape, and we hope to break our fundraising record for the fourth year in a row.”

The seventh annual fundraiser gives $2 from the sale of every Pirate Pak to Zajac Ranch for Children, an established B.C. charity that provides kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a memorable summer camp experience.

“Pirate Pak Day has become an annual celebration that helps young mateys facing life-long challenges,” said White Spot President Warren Erhart.

“It’s the perfect way for the young-at-heart to feel like a kid again, while supporting an amazing cause. We’re honoured to continue our work with Zajac Ranch.”

Pirate Pak Day has become an annual tradition that has already

raised $268,386 and sent more than 100 children to camp.

White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch runs from Aug. 18 to 22 and includes activities ranging from horseback riding and kayaking.

“Our long-standing partnership with White Spot provides a direct benefit to kids in need,” says Mel Zajac, founder of Zajac Ranch for Children. “It’s so rewarding to see their faces light up when they try new camp activities, which are specially tailored to kids with special needs.”

Available for both dine-in and take-out on Aug. 13 only, Adult Pirate Paks for come in four options: the Legendary Burger, B.C. Chicken Burger, Bacon Cheddar Bigger Burger, and the Provolone Veggie Burger.

•••

PIRATE PAK FACTS • White Spot founder Nat Bailey invented the Pirate Pak to provide a fun dining experience for kids aged 10 and under.

Curry comes up clutch for Blaze GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts

Call him Mr. Clutch.

With the game — and the provincial championship — on the line Dakota Curry delivered, lining a walk-off bases-loaded double to score two runs and send the Langley Blaze to a 4-3 extra-innings victory over the North Shore Twins.

The teams were playing on Monday night at Whalley Stadium in the championship final for the B.C. Premier U18 Baseball League.

“I was looking for a fastball and I just turned on it,” Curry explained the morning after his big hit.

The 17-year-old Curry — who still has one season left with the U18 Blaze — pulled the 0-1 pitch down the right-field line.

“The only thing I was debating was whether it was going to be fair or foul,” he said. “It was close to the line.”

“I was ecstatic,” he said. “It was amazing, just awesome.”

In his first year at the Premier level, Curry had good numbers during the regular season, finishing with a .278 batting average, a .398 on-base percentage, and 18 RBIs. He also had two home runs.

The extra-bases hit scored Mason Verge from third and Kyle McComb from second and sent the jubilant Blaze players sprinting out from the dugout.

It was also Langley’s second straight dramatic extra-innings victory and both times it was Curry who came through in the clutch.

The day before, he belted a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give Langley a 4-2 victory against the Victoria Mariners, sending the Blaze through to the championship final.

The final saw the top two regular season teams — Langley was 35-12 while North Shore was 32-12 (neither team was able to play the full 48-game schedule because of weather) — battle for the title.

It also allowed Langley to avenge their only loss at provincials, an opening day 5-0 defeat at the hands of the Twins.

In that game, North Shore pitcher Brad Smith was masterful, striking out nine and allowing just a pair of singles.

And Smith was on the mound again for the Twins in the final — their third game of the day — and picked up where he left off, striking out 11 of the 23 Langley batters he faced in the first 5.1 innings.

A LY S S A O’ D E LL Langley Time s

Langley Blaze’s Hayden Jaco (photo right) celebrates his RBI triple) during his team’s game against the Victoria Mariners on Sunday at Whalley Stadium. The Blaze captured the B.C. Premier Baseball League provincial title with a 4-3 win over the North Shore Twins on Monday and Dakota Curry (above left) played a big role. Curry hit a two-run home run to beat Victoria and then a two-run double against North Shore for the walk-off victories in both games.

North Shore led 1-0 when Langley came to bat in the bottom of the sixth and finally got to Smith.

Liam Wyatt’s double scored Mitchell Robinson to tie the score and Wyatt put the team ahead when he scored on a North Shore error.

“It was pretty grim going into the sixth, but we were trying to be upbeat, keep everyone positive,” said Blaze coach Jamie Bodaly.

The Blaze were on one out from victory when the Twins struck to force extra innings.

“I give the kids a lot of credit, it took a lot of resolve to get through the next couple of batters to get out of the inning and re-group,” Bodaly said.

And after North Shore went ahead in the ninth, the coach had a simple message for the team.

“I just said to the guys ‘let’s make this the hardest three outs of the year for these guys, the toughest outs they have ever had to get,” he said.

The Blaze then used ‘small-ball’ for

their rally.

Verge got on base with a single and after he stole second, Kyle McComb’s perfect sacrifice bunt not only got Verge to third base, but it also got McComb safely to first. Dayton Wilson’s sacrifice bunt then moved McComb to second and Robinson was intentionally walked to load the bases, setting the stage for Curry’s heroics.

“Our clutch guy Dakota came up and came through for us,” Bodaly said.

Cooper Misic earned the win, pitching one inning.

Keltie worked into the sixth inning, allowing just one unearned run while Ryan Braun pitched 2.2 innings, giving up a pair of earned runs.

Bodaly, who said it was pretty sweet to become the first team in league history to win the regular season and provincial title in the same season, was impressed with the Blaze getting contributions all throughout the roster.

“It was a complete team effort; I think we had every guy get in and play in the

last two games in some form.”

After losing their opener 5-0, the Blaze recovered to win 8-0 over the Chiefs — Jonathan Keltie, Kristjan Storrie and Dayton Wilson combined on a two-hitter while Mitchell Robinson had a home run, a double and three RBIs — and then beat the Cannons 5-0.

And against Victoria, Kyle Ross went all eight innings, striking out four.

Langley trailed 2-0 heading into the bottom of the fifth inning before Hayden Jaco’s triple scored Andre Pelletier. Justin Lawrence then singled Jaco to tie things up before Curry’s blast won it.

••• A handful of members of the Blaze left for Saskatoon on Tuesday (Aug. 5) where they will represent B.C. at the Canada Cup. Kyle Ross, Hayden Jaco, Brendan Halstrom and Tony Pharand were named to the roster while Cooper Misic was named an alternate.

The competition, for players 17 and under, runs Aug. 6 to 11.

Brad Kemp knew his team had talent, but even he was surprised with just how many victories the Langley Junior Blaze strung together.

The U16 baseball team won its first 13 games en route to an impressive 37-5 record and top spot in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League. And the last two losses came after the Blaze had already clinched first place.

“You never think it is going to be that good, but with the great pitching that we got all year and the good defence, and hitting the ball well, (we knew) the wins were going to come,” Kemp said.

“You never really put a number on how many wins you think you are going to have, but we definitely knew we would be top three in the league for sure.”

Buoyed by 30 wins in their first 32 games, Langley ran away with the regular season title, finishing five games ahead of the second-place North Shore Junior Twins (32-12).

Langley allowed the fewest

runs (119) and earned runs (93) and also struck out the most batters (266).

Leading the way was Jake Polancic, who went 11-2 with a 1.67 earned run average and 61 strikeouts.

“Jake was a really great surprise for us on the mound,” Kemp said.

“He really worked his butt off and got himself into great shape and it really showed throughout the year.”

Also having great seasons on the mound were Yi-Fan Pan (80, 0.78 ERA, 32 strikeouts) and Matthew Poirier (7-2, 2.42, 44 strikeouts).

And Parker Logan was a strikeout machine, fanning 48 batters in 48 innings. He went 2-2 with a 3.06 ERA. At the plate, the Blaze had the most runs and hits out of all the teams as well.

Dominic Baptista led the way with a .419 batting average, which was good for third in the league.

And while no Langley player was in the top six in RBIs, the team did have three in the top

10.

Cole Cantelon had 26 RBIs while Yi-An Pan and Baptista had 25 and 24, respectively.

The Blaze will be in Victoria for the provincial championships this weekend. The eightteam tournament begins tomorrow (Aug. 8) and runs until Sunday.

Langley is in a pool with Abbotsford (29-15), Victoria (29-15) and Whalley (19-25).

The other pool features North Shore (32-12), North Delta (3014), White Rock (21-23) and Nanaimo (20-24).

The top two in each group make the semifinal round.

Pitching, defence and timely hitting will be key, Kemp said.

“These provincial games are always very tight one-run ball games,” he said.

“If you get the great pitching and play good defence, I will figure out a way to get us two runs.”

Langley enters provincials relatively healthy, except for some soreness.

“But at this time of year, everybody is sore,” Kemp said.

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville.

This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray.

Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part.

With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

I really liked the layout of the gauges and controls in this vehicle; all are easily read and accessible. There are 12-volt outlets everywhere, two in the dash, one in the centre console, one in the back of that console, right beside the newly added 110V/150W power inverter and there’s a supply located in the rear under seat storage bin on the driver’s side.

The front seats I found very comfortable and perfect for a long day at work. The rear seating positions were also very comfortable with lots of legroom.

Noise levels in the cab, or lack thereof was amazing. This must be the quietest diesel on the planet. It runs as quietly as a gasoline vehicle. You can easily hold conversations in the cab at any speed with no interference from outside sources. It was also a treat to be able to order from a drive thru window without having to shut the truck off!

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

Goldsworthy Grace Beatrice October 30, 1920 July 31st, 2014

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Grace Goldsworthy (nee Wilson) on Thursday, July 31, 2014. She passed away after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s and Cancer at the age of 93.

Grace lived in Chilliwack for over 40 years. Mom is survived by her son, Bob (Claudia) Goldsworthy, Laurie (Bob) Anderton and Kathy (Kevin) Teschke. She leaves behind several grandchildren, and great grandchildren that she loved so very much. She is predeceased by her husband, Harold Goldsworthy and son Kenneth Goldsworthy. Mom loved her family, treasured her pets and also loved to garden.

She was especially fond of her vegetable garden and her roses. She enjoyed to travel, camp and fish with dad. She will be remembered by all with love, respect and pride.

A special thanks to all the staff at the Bradley Center and a special hug for Cheryl and Glenace. We know that you also loved mom with us. A Memorial Tea will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, July 12 at 8570 Gibson Rd. Chilliwack.

God saw her getting tired, a cure was not to be.

He wrapped her in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me’.

She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend.

She faced her pain with courage, until the very end.

She tried so hard to stay with us but her fight was not in vain, God took her to His loving home and freed her from the pain.

Rest well Mom…you were loved so very much and we will miss you.
