“

“

…on the (southern) shores (of Lake Whatcom) of which, perhaps, the finest trout fishing in the world is found…If a good wagon road were cut through to this lake and comfortable hotel erected on or in the near vicinity, provided with suitable pleasure boats, no spot on the Pacific Coast could be more desirable as a place of summer resort…It is certainly one of the most picturesque spots that ever gave brilliancy or romance to a landscape.

Article in the Northern Light newspaper | August 14, 1858

In the northwestern corner of Washington State, just ninety minutes north of Seattle and forty-five minutes from the Canadian border, lies one of the largest, most beautiful timber-lined lakes in the entire Northwest. Lake Whatcom.

And it remains to this day, a pristine natural gem little known outside of the immediate surrounding area.

Over 11 miles long, Lake Whatcom, the fourth largest lake in Washington State extends northwest from the foothills of the Cascade Mountains to the city of Bellingham. And Wildwood’s lakefront cottages rest right at the lake’s pristine southern shores on a quiet and serene bay where the lake gets up to 70 (F) degrees come summer.

Here on South Bay at Wildwood very little development has taken place and it will remain that way. The crystal clear waters and the views of this sapphire

lake and green velvet mountains across the bay are quite simply awe-inspiring.

Wildwood’s intimate lakefront cottages will become the foundation for memories that will bond you and your family and create a legacy that will continue for generations to come.

As the fresh water reservoir for Bellingham, the care given to this important asset is meticulous…yet it is a wonderful recreation source where water sports flourish in perfect harmony. While the north end of Lake Whatcom is dotted with large luxurious homes, the south end is essentially untouched. A few cabins peek out from behind the trees. Nature abounds and fishing for bass, trout and perch is all at your doorstep. Wildwood’s cottages for sale on Lake Whatcom – pure magic!

the wildwood community Wildwood is the only resort community of Lake Whatcom and it is irreplaceable! As a campground since the 1950s its location has been “grandfathered” with zoning and nothing like this will ever be built again. With over 1,700 feet of lakefront on a quiet “no-wake zone” bay, there are over 11 acres of land with two streams and towering cedars.

The views are inspiring and the furthest cottage from the lake is only 150 yards! Wildwood is a gated and private community with a full-time resident manager and with landscaping included it really is a carefree and safe environment. Emphasis is on family and most owners have kids or grandkids...a great place to start a family legacy and create memories that will last a lifetime!

And the views are just the beginning:

the cottages

Q New private marina and the only gas dock on the lake with 34 private boat slips, 15 mooring buoys plus a limited number of transient slips. Also, great spots for fishing or “lake jumping”.

Q Great fishing for Perch, Trout, and Bass (rated the #2 lake in Washington for Bass) Q Private boat launch ramp (one of only four on the entire lake) and staging dock.

The plans have either roof top decks for star gazing/sunning or high vaulted ceilings and the lots come fully landscaped.

Jada McKenzie-Moore, left, and Trinity became fast friends when they met at Betty Gilbert Middle School two years ago.

A 14-year-old singing sensation, Jada McKenzie-Moore, is using her voice to stand up for her best friend.

Jada, a Langley native, will be in the semifinals at the PNE Star Showdown on Sunday, Aug. 17 — in a competition that started with around 300 hopefuls.

But when Jada takes the stage, she plans on dedicating the song ‘Titanium’ to her

best friend Trinity, who has a mild form of autism and was bullied this past school year.

“I wanted Trinity to have her own song so she could be empowered,” said Jada. “She loves it and is so excited when I sing that song.”

The lyrics are powerful: You shoot me down but I won’t fall. I am titanium.

“The words of this song are perfect for Trinity or anybody who has been bullied.”

Trinity couldn’t agree more and is excited to be at the PNE for Jada’s performance.

“It’s very inspirational for those of us who have faced bullies,” said Trinity.

For Trinity, who was bullied quite badly last year, she sums up the experience in two words.

“Bullying sucks,” she said.

Jada first dedicated the song to Trinity when she won the BC Junior Talent Search finals at the Cloverdale Rodeo in May,

singing her jaw-dropping, stripped-down acoustic version of David Guetta’s song, Titanium.

Hitting octaves and range only heard in the voices of a few, like Mariah Carey, Jada hopes her version of the song strikes a chord both with the audience and judges.

Jada and Trinity met while attending Betty Gilbert Middle School together two years ago.

Probation given for Douglas Park attack MAN, WOMAN BEATEN IN 2013 MONIQUE TA MMING A Tim es Repo rte r

ALY S S A O’DELL L an gley Tim es

Dorscie Paterson enjoyed her tea at the Gogo Grandmothers garden party, held Saturday at Michaud House in Langley City. The event, which included tea, entertainment and sales of arts and crafts, raised funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Michael Hartley-Watts was given one year probation in the vicious beating of a man and woman who were out for a stroll in Douglas Park on the Easter long weekend in 2013.

Hartley-Watts, 24, was sentenced on July 17 in Surrey Provincial Court. He was found guilty of assault and breaching probation conditions.

It was around 8:30 p.m., when David Norman, 63, was walking with a 65-year-old woman in Douglas Park. They came across a young man urinating on the sidewalk in front of them.

“I told him he should go urinate in the bushes or use a bathroom,” said Norman. “He then decided he was going to kill me.”

Norman described his attacker as 6’3” inches tall and around 230 pounds.

The attacker tried punching Norman but ended up tackling him to the ground, while another young man jumped in, kicking at Norman.

The attack left Norman with

broken ribs.

He also had bruising and swelling all over his arms and hands where he protected his face and head.

Norman’s female friend told the men she was calling police, and that’s when the attacker went after her, punching her in the head and trying to take her phone, Norman said at the time. He said the incident traumatized her and he worried the courts wouldn’t take the attack seriously.

Langley RCMP said that a group of young men were out in the area causing mischief, with the one involved in the attack also allegedly responsible for kicking off the side mirrors of three vehicles in the area.

At the time of the attack and arrest, Langley RCMP said Hartley-Watts was well known to police.

His record reflects similar violence. In 2013, he was given a sixmonth conditional sentence and two years probation for assault with a weapon in an attack in Boston Bar in 2011.

Free fine arts camp — if teachers stay on strike CAMP CAN ACCOMMODATE 100 CHILDREN — WILL R UN F RO M SEPT. 2 TO 5 MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

The owners of Xtreme Cheer and Dance have decided to run a free fine arts camp during the first week in September, if the teachers are still on strike.

Xtreme owners Karen Hall and Lisa Bosch said they got the idea to put on the free camp to show their support for teachers and parents.

“We thought it could alleviate some stress in the community surrounding the start of the school year,” said Hall.

While talks have resumed between the B.C. Teachers Federation and the B.C. government, it doesn’t look hopeful an agreement will be reached before the start of the

school year, leaving thousands of parents scrambling to find care for their children.

Parents are already wondering what to do if the strike continues.

The fine arts camp is for ages four to 17 and for boys and girls.

The hours of the camp are 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with drop-off as early as 8 a.m.

“We originally thought we would make the camp 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. but then we realized that won’t help parents who have to work,” said Hall.

The free camp will offer art, tricking and tumbling, cheer, yoga, musical theatre and theatre sports and improv.

They are able to take up to 100 kids in their new 8,000 square foot facility at Unit

104-6350 204 Street (kitty corner to Costco).

“We have a great new space with a fully sprung gym floor,” said Hall.

All the instructors are certified dance coaches but for this free camp, the group is extending its expertise to bring new elements.

“One of our instructors was just certified as a yoga instructor and another has a degree in theatre, another has a degree in arts and will be teaching the arts class. They are all looking forward to doing something different with their skills.”

The free camp will run from Sept. 2 to 5.

Susan Colorado has her three girls at the dance studio and wanted to help spread the word about this camp.

“My girls, age 8, 12 and 14 love it there and we thought this was such a great idea for Karen and Lisa to do this for parents and for kids,” said Colorado.

She plans to spread the word about the free camp to her parent friends and help out in anyway she can.

It won’t cost anything other than a small insurance fee of $20 (if the child is new to the studio). That insurance is for one year at the facility.

Interested parents can register children online at www.xtremecheeranddance.com or call Karen at 604-613-4090 or Lisa at 604512-4840.

They can be reached by email at xtremecheeranddance@gmail.com.

Christine Holloway and her husband pulled their five-year-old child from the Township’s Splash of Creativity summer day camp after their son was left completely unsupervised at the popular Willoughby Park playground and taken away by a man without anyone challenging that stranger.

Luckily that stranger was his father picking him up, but there wasn’t any camp staff around to notice their son missing, claim the Holloways.

Christine wrote a letter to the recreation department at Langley Township after her husband went to pick their son up at the day camp at 4:20 p.m.

He spoke with his son and asked where the camp staff were. Looking around, there was no staff to be seen, he said.

Holloway managed to walk his son inside the community centre to retrieve his belongings without any day camp staff there either.

“Shortly after 5 p.m., we received a call at our home from a caller who identified themselves as from the Willoughby Community Centre and asked to confirm that Evan had been picked up.

“Apparently, it took until the end of day when, presumably, someone realized that there was a blank line on the sign out form and no children left, meaning our child was unaccounted for during a period of over 40 minutes,” said Holloway.

Both parents feel sick about what could have happened.

“We take responsibility for what happened and recognize how serious this was,” said David Leavers, Township director of parks and recreation.

Leavers said staff met about the incident to debrief the following day and again the next day.

“All our policies and procedures are being reviewed and we have changed some protocols,” said Leavers.

One thing that has changed immediately is campgoers in the before and after care portion of the camp will not be allowed to play at the spray park or playground in those times. They will be inside the centre.

The manager at Willoughby Community Centre has spoken extensively with the Holloways.

“They have reassured me that they have reinforced procedures with staff,” said Christine.

“They are taking it seriously and they have committed to me that they will provide a progress report at the end of the month.”

While she appreciates the response, it wasn’t adequate to put their son back in that day camp.

The staffing levels are still one staff member to 12 children and she feels, without other measures, that ratio is unrealistic.

“That is a very busy park, it’s impossible to keep your eyes on them all.”

The Holloways want the Township to review its protocols and staffing levels, and suggest that campgoers should at least be identified with same coloured shirts and periodic head counts.

Community has rallied around Trinity, says mom From Page 3

The two hit it off and became fast friends.

“When Trinity was younger, we would pray together, hoping she would find friendship,” said mom, Stacy.

“It was a difficult time and Trinity was alone a lot and had trouble making friends.

“When Jada and Trinity found each other, they just had this amazing bond. Their friendship is so genuine.”

But when Jada moved to Vancouver last August, Trinity started getting picked on and bullied at school.

“She has experienced horrible bullying this year. These girls threw plants in her hair and when she was walking from school these younger girls were picking on her,” said Jada.

Trinity has a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome.

“I want to say to those who bully, treat people how you yourself want to be treated,” said Jada.

To Trinity, or anyone being bullied, she said “be strong.”

Stacy said that for Jada to use her voice to

stand up for Trinity, is both a gift and a message.

“I think it shames the bullies and it also shows Trinity that she really matters.”

Trinity can’t wait to cheer on Jada on Sunday.

To the bullies in her life, Trinity said they must feel inadequate, to have to pick on someone else.

“Do you think your confidence level will go up trying to knock someone down? It won’t. You will feel worse.

“You must have very low confidence,” she said.

Stacy said that once the community knew Trinity was being picked on, they rallied around her. But the school’s hands were tied when it came to helping, she said.

“She is so harmless and sweet, so it really bothered people that she was bullied,” said her mom.

The competition at the PNE is fierce, now that Jada is in the youth category of ages 13 to 18.

If she does win the cash and the title, she plans to donate money from her win to the

said Jada.

“My mom is the driver and Trinity is coming too.”

The Clandestine Lab team was called in by RCMP to clean up drug lab residue put in barrels and dumped in rural south Langley on Thursday morning, Aug. 7.

A passerby noticed some blue barrels in a ditch around 10 Avenue and 232 Street .

Township firefighters were called and Langley RCMP showed up soon after, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Patrick Davies.

“The investigators confirm that it appears to be from some kind of drug lab,” said Davies. “But the barrels weren’t leaking and there is no danger to the environment.”

Environmental officials were called out anyway, and the team cleaned up the dumped toxic waste by the afternoon.

The making of meth and other illicit drugs leave a lot of toxic waste that has to be dumped somewhere.

Police are asking for any witnesses of suspicious vehicles or activity in the area call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

The friends got together in Langley last weekend, before the PNE semifinals this Sunday.

To hear Jada perform Titanium, go to her website jadamckenziemoore.com Also performing on Sunday’s PNE Star Showdown semifinals is Langley’s Chase Testini.

The 19-year-old Walnut Grove Secondary grad took up guitar at age eight and will bring his voice and acoustic talents to the exhibition stage.

Question langeytimes.com

A Fraser Institute study was released Tuesday, showing the share of Canadians’ income going towards governments at all levels has risen from 33.5 per cent in 1961 to 41.8 per cent in 2013.

It’s important to put the study into context. The Fraser Institute is a think tank which believes in smaller government, and has steadfastly engaged in many studies over the years to debunk “big government.” Some of those studies have been quite useful, others not so much.

The institute also participates in the worldwide “Tax Freedom Day” event, which marks the day when people begin to work for themselves each year, as opposed to the taxman. This year, the date in Canada was June 9.

All that said, there is no question that some of the money paid in taxes is not well-spent. While abuses by politicians like Alison Redford or Mike Duffy get the headlines, there are many programs in government of limited or almost no use. One B.C. example is the carbon tax rebate to large corporations, paid by school districts and hospitals with tax dollars.

However, as the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (the polar opposite to the Fraser Institute) notes, it’s very difficult to compare 1961 to 2014. Governments provide medicare now — there was little spending on health care in 1961. That’s where a lot of tax dollars go.

There are also many more government programs that redistribute funds to lower-income Canadians, including the GST credit and the carbon tax credit in B.C. Governments certainly have room to cut. A focus on how much taxes we pay as a percentage of income is useful, because taxpayers need to consider whether we get full value for the money we spend each year.

Do you buy fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers at this time of year?

It’s up to the band they

The Kwikwetlem First Nation has some healing to do after recent revelations about Chief Ron Giesbrecht’s hefty economic development payment that took many band members, and the wider community, by surprise.

But while some Tri-City residents may have concerns about the $914,000 in pay plus the $16,574 in expenses Giesbrecht earned in 2013, the fact is, it’s really none of our business. True, taxpayers’ dollars funded much of this remuneration package but most of the funds came from a 10 per cent economic development payment from an $8.2-million land deal with the provincial government.

And from what we now know, the payout to the band is above board and part of the government’s due diligence on land with potential claims by First Nations.

As part of its duty to consult with the Kwikwetlem before selling off 584 acres of Crown land on Burke Mountain, the province paid the band $8.2 million in “economic development benefits.” Giesbrecht’s cut as economic development officer was about $800,000.

That 10 per cent bonus structure has now been terminated and a new economic development company is being established with an independent board of directors.

This may relieve some band concerns and it’s now a moot point as to whether all Kwikwetlem band members knew about the land deal in advance or approved the chief’s payment. As interested as we may all be in these developments, and sympathetic to band members who claim not to have known about this deal, the chief’s remuneration — whether large or small — is an internal issue for the band to sort out.

We can only hope the Kwikwetlem will use wisely the financial benefits owed to them by claim, entitlement and legal precedence. If it wasn’t for the new First Nations Financial Transparency Act, which has been roundly criticized by some native leaders, the band’s financial situation would never be known — to members or anyone else.

For that, we have to credit the federal government.

As for what the Kwikwetlem will do next, it’s up to the band to decide. But with a large and growing bank account, and recent rumblings about claims on the Riverview lands, we have not heard the last from this small group.

Port activity will grow in the future PRESSURE ON CORRIDOR Editor: To put it in perspective, the geographic location of Canada’s shipping ports reveals the significance of the West Coast as the gateway to the Pacific Rim’s booming trade economies.

Eastern Canada’s 14 federal ports are spread out approximately 4,000 km, from Thunder Bay, through the Great Lakes, Windsor, Hamilton, Toronto, Oshawa, the Saint Lawrence Seaway, Montreal plus four others in Quebec and four more in the Maritimes, all the way to St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Western Canada’s four federal ports are confined to coastal B.C. There are Port Alberni and Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, Vancouver/Fraser River in the Lower Mainland and Prince Rupert on the north coast.

Activity at Prince Rupert is growing, as it’s competitively closer to Asia and approximately one day faster than Vancouver for CN rail container shipping to Chicago.

The Port of Kitimat, (a deep-water, ice-free port like Prince Rupert) is a non-federal,

District of Kitimat private port.

It is undergoing large expansion, which will affect truck, rail and pipeline transport to and from the port.

CN is improving and double tracking much of its rail line from Prince George to Prince Rupert, which also makes it more viable to ship oil by rail.

The Fraser Valley is an unavoidable vital transport corridor of rail, truck and pipeline for Canada’s economy, and expansion pressures are increasing.

Renters part of neighbourhood Editor: This letter is in regards to the article (The Times, July 24) regarding the proposed rental development in Murrayville and the negative response by some members of the community.

They made comments such as “It could create a blight” and “They have no pride of ownership.”

Once again, renters get a bad rap.

I have rented a house in Brookswood for over 24

years. Drive down the street and pick my house from the prideful homeowners. You can’t. We may not own it, but we can still take pride in it.

There are many reasons why people cannot own their own homes, and they have to rent. But it is still their home. A neighbourhood should include everyone, not just property owners.

BONNIE MACKIE, LANGLEY

City’s lack of action a problem Editor: What has not been pointed out is that much of Brydon Lagoon’s bird life and diversity was a result of fish being there. Some of these fish may have arrived naturally when the Nicomekl flooded. Although most were non-native species, these fish supported a large array of native birds. The lack of oxygen/aeration resulting in such a massive fish kill will negatively impact the cormorants, hooded and common mergansers, green and great blue herons, scaups, grebes, kingfishers, visiting osprey and resident pair

of nesting bald eagles.

If City staff had chosen to replace the fountain that they couldn’t fix, it is possible that this fish kill could have been prevented or minimized. The lack of action on dredging is another concern. If the City continues to do nothing, the lagoon will continue to gradually fill up with sediment until it may become little more than ideal habitat for mosquitoes.

Editor: Re: “New Langley overpasses ‘may not be enough’,” (The Times, Aug. 7).

The story on Port Metro Vancouver’s recent presentation to Langley Township council needs clarification as to the purpose and plans of the Gateway Transportation Collaboration Forum.

The forum, a joint effort of the federal and provincial ministries of transportation, TransLink, Port Metro Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver Gateway Council, has been struck to assess regional infrastructure needs and collaboratively develop a plan that will ultimately seek funding from the national infrastructure component of the federal New Building Canada Fund.

In fact, the forum will be assessing the regional impact of additional rail traffic from steadily increasing demand for imports and exports.

The forum intends to gather that information in consultation with municipalities and others, and consider how best to meet long-term trade demand while minimizing impacts to local communities and the environment.

Desalination suggested Editor: I’ve just read with interest your article (‘California visit an eye-opener’) published in The Times on July 29 and republished in the New Westminster NewsLeader.

It’s never made sense to me why a coastal state so heavily

Surely someone must have considered the idea.

Need for new council Editor: Re Margaret Ormston’s letter (The Times, Aug. 12), her synopsis of how Langley Township council handled the blueberry cannon situation last year is yet another example of why we need a fresh new mayor and council this November.

With less than a month to go until the Langley 2014 B.C. Seniors Games, the push is on to secure a few hundred more volunteers.

The organizing committee is about halfway to the goal of 1,500 volunteers for the Games, which run Sept. 9 to 13, said Michael Jackstien, the vice-president of the Games.

“Our push is to get the number of volunteers up,” Jackstien said.

Volunteers can commit as little as a half a day to working the full week.

“From directing participants along race routes to helping at the awards podium, there is

something for everybody and all age groups,” said Games’ president Milt Kruger.

The organizers are also challenging local groups to support the Games with employee volunteers.

“The Games are a perfect way for companies to give back to the community through team participation,” Kruger said.

“Several organizations are already participating, but there is a need for more.”

Two of the main areas more help is needed in are medical services and transportation.

And for those without first aid, the Games organizers have a company which will train potential volunteers, Jackstien said. (See related story below)

As for transportation, no special license is needed as the organizers have a fleet of 35 cars, ready to drive competitors to and from the venues.

Other areas volunteers are needed include: • sport set up and management • lost and found • traffic control • security • hosting and medal presentation • results centre • participant accreditation.

To register as a volunteer, either go to the Games office (101 20560 Fraser Hwy.) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday), phone 604-533-8065 or email volunteer@bcsg2014.com.

Volunteers offered first aid training

Valley First Aid will offer free first aid certification to people who sign up as medical volunteers for the BC Seniors Games this year.

“I believe business owners in the community have a responsibility to give back where they live, work and play,” said Valley First Aid’s Rick Barnett, who is also volunteering at the Games.

Barnett is offering WorkSafeBC’s Occupational First Aid Level 1 to people who sign up as volunteers in the medical directorate for the 2014 BC Seniors Games, to be held in Langley Sept. 9 to 13.

In order to take advantage of the free offer (a $90 value), volunteers must provide a minimum of 16 hours over the five days of the Games.

The full-day course will be held at Valley First Aid’s Langley location, and volunteers can choose

“We have a passion for what we do — we have a passion for first aid,” said Barnett.

Valley First Aid’s highly qualified instructors also support a number of community events by attending and providing free coverage, but this is the first time the company is actually certifying others in the community as volunteers.

The 27th annual BC Seniors Games will be held in Langley this Sept. 9 to 1 3, and hundreds of volunteers are needed to support the 3,800 athletes aged 55 and up who are expected to compete.

In order to take advantage of Valley First Aid’s offer, please contact Corry Anderson-Fennell, volunteer management chair for medical, at corry.anderson-fennell@kpu.ca or call 604-599-2840.

The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.

Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.

As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.

The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control.

There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.

This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.

“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abattoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to

SUMMER SPECIAL Pedicure & Manicure

$ Briana DefresnesLemay of Chilliwack celebrated her birthday last month at the third annual Children’s Wish Princess Tea Party in Langley, where scores of young princesses and princes delighted in tea, goodies, a scavenger hunt and surprise appearance

by Princess Elsa from the Disney movie Frozen. At eight years old, Briana has already been through two open heart surgeries, but last year had the chance to forget about the recovery still ahead and escape to Disneyland with the Children’s Wish Foundation.

Proceeds from the event, held at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre at Cascades Casino, went to the foundation to benefit local kids with life-threatening illnesses.

Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches

Temporary Road Closure: Corner of 28 Avenue and 276 Street

The Township of Langley currently utilizes three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow. Should the equipment be pulled away to do a specific request it only lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches.

A temporary road closure of 28 Avenue at 276 Street will be in effect Monday, August 18 from 8:00 to 4:30pm. The closure is required for the disconnection of an old water service at the Aldergrove Water Treatment Plant. A detour route is noted below.

If you have a request for mowing or brushwacking, we ask that you be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible.

FRASER HWY

The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, have classified the open channel water systems into three categories: Class A ditches are fish bearing; Class B ditches are fish habitat. Both of these categories require formal approval before any work can be completed.

Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issues whatsoever and require notification only for work to take place.

Japanese Knotweed Roadside Control Strategy Japanese Knotweed is an invasive species whose root system has the potential to ruin home foundations, roads, parking lots, sewerage, and water main infrastructure.

The Township of Langley is working to eliminate the threat of this invasive plant. You may see markers along various roads identifying where Japanese Knotweed is located. Do not remove the plants or mow these areas. Improper removal of the plant could result in the plant reproducing rapidly or spreading further.

As of June 1, 2014, this permit can only be obtained from the Township’s Operations Centre, located at 4700 - 224 Street.

The Roads Department is spraying a mild herbicide to control the Japanese Knotweed. The removal process will take several treatments and inspections throughout the year. After the roots are killed, the plant stock will be removed and discarded safely.

Townhouse compromise reached ALY S S A O ’ DE L L Ti me s Re po r t e r

A compromise has been reached between residents of Huntsfield Green and developers of a new townhouse complex, after a July 7 public hearing before Langley City council was adjourned to allow time for more information to be gathered about the project.

The 23-year-old Huntsfield Green complex, a 117-unit, 55plus community, is located directly south of a 1.03 acre parcel between 19690-19720 55A Ave., on which the developer wants to build 28 new two- and three-bedroom townhouses. “I see some major changes in the attitude and the approach to all the properties in the 55A area,� said Huntsfield Green homeowner John Fuller on Monday, July 21, when the public hearing was resumed before council’s last regular meeting until September.

At the July 7 hearing, the main issue local residents had with

the design is that it calls for pedestrian-only access from 55A Avenue on the development’s north side, while vehicle traffic would enter the complex from a back lane, which runs along the Huntsfield Green property line.

The lane allowance already exists, but has remained an undeveloped strip between the properties.

Project proponent Fred Adab of F. Adab Architects told council that the lane will be paved, with drainage directed to the centre of the lane into an underground storm sewer. He added that speed humps are also being looked at as a possible way to reduce car speed.

Traffic consultant Jon Voss, hired by the proponent to answer questions stemming from the last public hearing, said that he estimates the increase in traffic due to the new development would be “quite negligible,� equalling approximately 15 more cars per hour. He added that the paved lane could han-

dle 100 vehicles per hour before there is a need for another access point to 55A Avenue, although secondary access may be needed sooner for emergency vehicles.

As well, architects have added plans to replace an older retaining wall on the south side of the lane. A new concrete retaining wall will be built, forming the curb of the lane, and an existing fence built by Huntsfield Green will be replaced on top of it.

Fuller said Huntsfield residents were still concerned about sight lines from their back yards and porches into the new development, and asked about the possibility of making the retaining wall one foot higher.

Adab said the developer was open to the idea.

After the hearing, council voted unanimously during the regular meeting to approve a zoning bylaw amendment to accommodate the 28 townhomes.

SMH tower rebuilt in Lego CLUB PRODUCED REPLICA FOR CHARITY AUCTION A group of builders from the Fraser Valley recently joined forces to demonstrate that it’s possible to construct a new hospital from the ground up in about 90 hours.

How? You need skill, patience, creativity and about 7,000 pieces of Lego. The result is a twofoot tall replica of Surrey Memorial Hospital’s new Critical Care Tower. The structure even has its own ambulance, helicopter and medical staff — all made of Lego.

The replica was commissioned by Jane Adams, president & CEO of Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, as a unique auction item for an upcoming charity golf tournament organized by EllisDon, the company that orchestrated the construction of the real Critical Care Tower.

The idea of creating a Lego tower came to Adams after she learned that the Child Life specialists at Surrey Memorial use these simple building blocks to help young patients and siblings in the Children’s Health Centre and the pediatric emergency department cope with their time in the hospital.

Earlier this summer, Lego enthusiast and Langley resident Lee Wager rallied members of the Abbotsford Lego User Group (AbbyLUG) to volunteer their time and take on the challenge.

EllisDon supplied Wager with

Su bmitte d pho to

Members of the Abbotsford Lego User Group work on a replica of Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Critical Care Tower built from Lego blocks. photos and drawings, and he also paid a visit to the hospital for a closer look. He notes that one of the biggest challenges of using Lego to build architectural pieces is working with Lego’s geometric shapes and figuring out how to accommodate unique features, such as curved walls.

For the hospital tower, Wager and the group had to replicate the one-of-a-kind windows above the lobby and source out enough blue bricks needed to build the distinctive coloured walls of the main building. It’s all part of the Lego building challenge, he says.

“It’s fun to try to create or innovate with Lego, because it has its limitations.�

The Lego enthusiasts’ creation was on the auction block at the golf tournament on July 22. The golfers and guests included many of the contractors, trades and suppliers involved in building the province’s newest and most technologically advanced health care facility.

in Three Langley Girls Win Titles At National Canadian Girl Pageant A trio of Langley girls will wear the prestigious titles of Toddler Miss National Girl 2014-15, Tiny Miss BC National Canadian Girl 2014-15 and Young Miss BC National Canadian Girl 2014-15.

Bella Thomas, Bella-Rose Taylor and Alyssa Andronyk won their respective titles at the Canada-wide pageant held in Richmond, British Columbia July 18-20.

National Canadian Girl is the only full scholarship pageant program for girls upto age 19 in Canada, and has recently added on a Miss category, going to age 29.

Winning a title is not based on beauty, but contestants are judged on personality, poise, grooming, and most of all public speaking (age four and up).

Girls from across Canada gathered for the weekend and participated in formal wear, casual wear, introduction, speech arts and TV commercial presentation in an intense three-day competition.

Director and founder Liz McKinnon said she was shocked at the level of competition this year, adding that the girls were ready.

“We had girls from Halifax to Victoria, it was an exciting weekend, we treated the girls to a spa party and gifts all weekend.

We even had two girls who had never been in a pageant before win titles,” she said.

“Bella had such a fun weekend and loved being onstage. She was oblivious of the fact

she won a national title but she adored being the centre of attention, her crown and the toys she received,” said her mother Amanda Thomas.

“Bella-Rose Taylor had a magical weekend where she made new friends and built stronger bonds with older friends,” said her mother Crystal. “She was so proud to win

and was very happy she practiced so hard.

Liz McKinnon sure spoils the girls and treats them to a wonderful fun filled weekend. Bella-Rose is blessed to have such a wonderful pageant family.”

“It is an awesome experience; I am glad I did because I got to meet new people from all over Canada, liked to be on stage and

had lots of fun,” said Alyssa Andronyk. “ I look forward to the year to come and helping others.”

Fraser Health is offering tips for area seniors to help them stay safe while they spend time outside during the ongoing stretch of warm summer weather.

1. Balance is key.

Building strength and balance with a simple exercise program can help seniors retain mobility, vitality, energy and sense of well-being.

2. Get equipped.

Walkers and canes can help with balance on uneven sidewalks; and hip protectors can prevent broken bones from a trip or fall. Proper footwear is also important. As tempting as sandals are in the heat, they can

easily get caught on something and increase the risk for a fall.

3. Avoid the glare.

The sun can make it hard to see so sunglasses and proper eyewear are important.

Take a moment to let your eyes adjust when you go from dark to bright or vice versa as you could miss objects in your way and increase the risk for a trip or fall.

4. Keep cool and hydrated.

While indoors, use a fan and wet a face cloth with cold water. Getting enough fluids each day gives you more energy and helps your body to stay cool.

If you can, head to a mall, a community centre or a public

library and enjoy the air conditioning.

5. Dress the part.

Light clothing and a hat can help keep you cool. Some seniors prefer to stay indoors during the warmer weather.

This can lead to missed doctor’s appointments, unfilled prescriptions and running out of groceries.

Be a good neighbour. Check in on loved ones and make sure they have what they need.

Everybody, regardless of age, should remember to keep cool and hydrated.

Events keep Demo Garden growing The Township of Langley’s Demonstration Garden is celebrating its second summer at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, and its reputation for providing fun events and helpful information has firmly taken root.

“The Demonstration Garden is in full swing and our attendance is growing,” said Ava Shannon of the Langley Environmental Partners Society, which runs the facility in partnership with the Township.

“We’ve seen a lot more children registering for our summer camps and look forward to welcoming the public to our beautiful new site during our upcoming events.”

Last spring, the Demonstration Garden officially opened in the 21200 block of Fraser Highway, near the Langley Airport, after spending 20 years in Murrayville.

Admission is free, and the garden is open year-round to demonstrate sustainable gardening techniques. From May to August, staff are on hand during the week to provide information on safe home and garden practices such as composting, the use of native plants, and chemical-free gardening.

And in the summer, things really start to blossom.

A number of events and workshops are offered for adults, and kids get to become Eco Explorers during day camps that examine the creatures that share our ecosystem and the plants found in our backyards.

“It’s such a great program; they do a great job of making it interesting for the kids,” said Brookswood mom Julie Ber-

“They love being outside in nature and learning about what’s in the environment.”

The camps are available for children aged six to 12, and at just $5 per child per day, they are affordable, Bergen added.

This year, the camps saw an increase in attendance of almost 45 per cent over last year, with 260 kids registered over the summer.

There is room for 360 participants and garden administrators hope the word will spread and they will see a full house next year.

“The children are learning about recycling, building stuff, studying bugs and frogs,” Bergen said.

“The teachers are great at integrating age-appropriate activities and the older kids help the younger ones, so it’s not boring for them.”

Grown-ups who would like to participate in Langley Demonstration Garden activities are invited to don their aprons and head to the kitchen.

An annual tradition returns to the Garden on Wednesday, Aug. 20, when the Blackberry Bake-Off and Open House runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Budding cooks are encouraged to come up with a culinary creation using the star ingredient, and the public can taste the blackberry treats and vote for their favourites.

“We’re looking for lots of submissions in the Bake-off this year,” said Shannon, who asked those interested in participating to contact her for the simple contest rules at 604-546-0344 orgarden@ leps.bc.ca.

The event will also feature a challenging park-wide scavenger hunt for youth aged 12 to 18, musical entertainment by Dear One, the Horvat Family Band, and singer/musician Allexandria Maillot.

There will be a locally-sourced barbecue lunch for $5.

Salmon returns not as simple as boom or bust

The plight of the Pacific salmon has been an important news story over the past few years, and often one of the big talking points is the small numbers that return to spawn every year.

However, there is a lot more to the discussion than a single number.

“When we’re talking about salmon returning, we’re actually talking about five species,” says Dr. Scott Hinch of the University of British Columbia. “Not all of them come back at the same time. It’s very species-specific as to when they return.”

For example, the pink salmon return every second year to the Fraser River instead of every year, whereas the sockeye salmon, perhaps the most well-known species, returns each year.

The other species of salmon in our Pacific waters are the coho, Chinook and chum, though the pink salmon is the most abundant, according to Hinch.

“Pink salmon don’t require the same spawning and rearing habitat that other species do,” he says. “They don’t rear for long in fresh water, and they tend to head to the ocean shortly after the eggs hatch.”

This has an effect on the size of the fish that travel to the ocean and thus their survival possibilities. Hinch points out that sockeye salmon tend to stay in the large lakes they’re born near for about a year, making them larger when they do start their migration to the

The Pacific Salmon Foundation recently released the results of a four-year study looking at Sockeye salmon smolts during their migration to the ocean.

ocean.

Another thing to keep in mind when looking at the number of salmon is their life cycle, which actually moves in a four-year rhythm for sockeye.

“Every four years we see a really big run of sockeye,” Hinch says. “In 2010 we saw one of the largest runs of Fraser River sockeye in a century.

Thus, four years later (in 2014), we’re expecting to see another abundant run, though exactly how abundant is unclear. In the third year of this cycle the run is still fairly big, but in years one and two, it is quite small. That cycle seems to persist.”

Aside from these natural abundance cycles, there are a few things that contribute to a large or small return of a specific species of salmon, including the number of predators, poor health and poor feeding conditions which can be affected by climate patterns like El Nino. Year-to-year changes in ocean and freshwater conditions caused by global climate change are also affecting feeding, growth and predator numbers.

The Pacific Salmon Foundation, in partnership with Hinch, UBC and Kintama Research, recently released the results of a four-year study looking at sockeye salmon smolts during their migration to the sea from their rearing area in Chilko Lake.

This was the first-ever study to track wild sockeye smolts (young salmon that have begun changing from freshwater to saltwater fish) through their migration via acoustic tags. Through the study, they discovered that many of the smolts disappeared during the first few days of their migration, which Hinch attributes to predators.

“The water there is very clear, and the predators are generally visual feeders,” he says. “Once they get through the clear water, survivorship during the remainder of their freshwater migration was very good.”

The team followed the smolts over 1,000 kilometres to the northern end of Vancouver Island.

“We were the first to track this stage in this number,” says Hinch, noting that as of this spring, over 2,000 fish were tagged.

The Pacific Salmon Foundation is currently working on the Salish Sea Marine Survival Project in partnership with Seattle-based Long Live the Kings, another organization committed to the protection of wild salmon. The project looks at the factors affecting the survival of the young salmon in the Salish Sea, and will build off of the results of the Chilko study in their research.

“We are trying to determine the limiting factors of salmon production,” says Foundation CEO Dr. Brian Riddell. “This is the largest initiative ever undertaken; there have been thousands of studies before, but no comprehensive study.”

The project will focus on the Strait of Georgia, where the the abundance of coho and Chinook salmon are low. The Foundation notes that it’s at less than one-tenth of the levels seen in the past.

Interior designer Jillian Harris has returned to design the PNE Prize Home for the third year, and this year has taken inspiration from Kelowna. The house will be re-located there once a winner has been named next month.

PNE celebrates 80 years of the Prize Home Lottery

By Kerry Vital

The PNE Prize Home is an iconic part of the annual Fair, and this year’s home is truly spectacular.

The Prize Home has been designed by Jillian Harris for the third year. Harris, who has starred on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, hosted Canada’s Handyman Challenge and is the current co-host of Love It or List It Vancouver, drew inspiration from her passion for Kelowna, her current home.

Once the winner is announced, the home will be transported to an estate-sized lot on Kelowna’s Kirschner Mountain. The 3,000-square-foot home, built by Britco, is worth about $1.3 million, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

“Explore the 2014 PNE Prize Home, and you’ll find it open and bright with a fresh,

neutral palette accented with rustic surprises,” says Harris. “Each room is designed with touches to soften the space and create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that is ideal for casual living. I can’t wait to present the home to this year’s winner, and welcome them home to my favourite destination!”

One of the highlights of this year’s Prize Home is the dining and wine room, with tons of space for your favourite bottles and gathering around the table with friends and family. Casual living is the hallmark of the home, and there are plenty of places to relax.

The master bedroom opens onto a huge patio that wraps around much of the upper floor, and the ensuite is spa-like, with a large soaker tub and separate shower.

Downstairs, the kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar, and there is plenty of space to fulfill all of your gourmet dreams.

“This home is really about lifestyle,” says PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance. “It’s about engaging with family and friends, and reflecting why we as British Columbians love living in this province.”

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the home giveaway, and to celebrate the PNE Prize Home Lottery will give away a special edition Corvette, plus five luxury trips, 11 cars or cash draws, three early bird draws and the 50/50 draw.

“The PNE was the first to do a destination resort home prize,” says Ballance. “We always want to do something different.”

The furniture and accessories are also part of the home, from Lane Home Furnishings.

The winner will also receive Jenn-Air and Maytag appliances from Coast Wholesale Appliances, an outdoor living package from Coast Spas Lifestyles and a $2,500 grocery

package from IGA. Tickets can be purchased online, via phone at 604-252-3688 or toll-free at 1-877-9464663 or at the Fair at the PNE before Sept. 1.

The winner will be drawn on Sept. 4.

Clinic giving MRIs for those in need M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

As a British Columbian, you know that if you need to get an MRI, you better hurry up and wait.

The average wait for a non-emergency MRI in the public health system is one year.

That’s why several private MRI clinics have opened up throughout Metro Vancouver — for people who can’t take the pain any longer and need help.

Surrey MRI, on the Langley/Surrey border at 192 St., opened 18 months ago with the idea to offer one of the lowest prices, at $595 per MRI, in hopes to make the important scan affordable for more people.

But Surrey MRI has also been quietly, and without fanfare, giving back to the community.

Surrey MRI has been providing free MRIs to those who need one but can’t afford it.

“We at Surrey MRI really believe in giving back to our community,” said Langley Memorial Hospital’s Dr. David Chapman, who is an on-site doctor at the clinic and co-owner of Surrey MRI. He also sits on the LMH Foundation board and was one of the driving forces

behind the opening of the new and larger maternity ward.

“It feels good to give back so we want more people to know about this service we are offering,” said Chapman.

Since opening 18 months ago.

Surrey MRI has provided dozens of free MRIs, sometimes up to one a week for those in need.

Those in need are referred from their family physician.

An example of who would qualify is a single mom unable to work because of the pain she is experiencing.

“We had a woman come here who was told she would have to wait 18 months to have a publicly-funded MRI. “She has been unable to work.

She needs answers now so she can get treatment and get back to work,” said Chapman.

Her doctor filled out the referral form online at surreymri.com saying she would be a good candidate for the Community Care Program.

Those eligible must get a referral from their family doctor.

She came in for an MRI last week, said Chapman.

What Clinic also offering therapeutic is an MRI? joint injections From Page 32

Most family doctors are aware of Surrey MRIs Community Care program and know to go to the website to fill out the request form for their patients.

“I review and make the decision about whether or not the patient qualifies for the free MRI,” said Chapman.

It’s a combination of financial circumstances and the impact it will have on the person’s life having to wait for a publicly-funded scan.

In one case, a woman came in for one thing but a tumour was discovered in the scan. It was discovered early which can often be the case with MRIs, he said.

Surrey MRI offers Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans for $595.

“People sometimes ask what the catch is, with the low price. But there is no catch. We aren’t out to make huge profits here,” said Chapman. “We really believe in making this affordable.”

The owners of Surrey MRI recognized the pressure the public system is under and hear all the stories of wait times.

According to the latest Canadian data, B.C. is now in last place in the country with the number of publicly funded MRIs taking place each year.

Doctors in B.C. aren’t ordering

more MRIs, but actually less compared to other provinces, said the study.

Chapman said that correlates with his own experience as a doctor.

But quality of life comes into play for people living with pain or worries of possible tumours.

“Take someone who has a soccer injury so is off work but isn’t being paid because it didn’t happen at work,” he said.

“That person is not making any money and in pain. With an MRI they can get an answer sooner and get back to work sooner.

“Often, an orthopedic surgeon won’t even see a patient without an MRI done first,” Chapman said.

Surrey MRI recently started offering therapeutic joint injections as well.

The injection offers pain relief for knees, shoulders and spines, etc.

“One of our radiologists will inject a knee and provide pain relief for up to six months while a person waits for a knee replacement, for example.”

The state-of-the-art MRI machine they chose to have at Surrey MRI has a shorter bed and wider openings at both ends so patients won’t feel closed in during the scan.

Surrey MRI is located in Unit 1015660 192 St. Also visit www.surreymri.ca for more.

Forecast calls for Blizzard Today (Thursday) marks the 12th annual DQ Miracle Treat Day, where proceeds from Dairy Queen Blizzards sold that day will go towards supporting life-saving research, education programs and the purchase of medical equipment at the hospital.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRIs are a preferred diagnostic tool because they are a safe way of obtaining detailed images of organs and tissues without using ionizing radiation in the body.

Instead MRIs use powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to take pictures that determine if tissue is healthy or not.

But because of the powerful magnetic field, not everyone can get an MRI. And every metal thing like watches, earrings and even bra straps will be lifted off a person by magnetic pull once inside a room with an MRI machine.

If you have ever welded, you run the risk of the metal fragments being vibrated and pulled out of your eye. People with pacemakers or other metallic implant in their body may not be able to have an MRI. If you have a bullet in you, it will move and be pulled from its place.

To put in such a huge, extremely sensitive piece of diagnostic equipment, the owners of Surrey MRI had to build the office to suit the needs of the MRI machine.

This included digging below the ground to pour a very thick concrete slab the MRI could sit on so that the rumbling of trucks going by wouldn’t impact the imaging results.

They also had to build very thick walls so the radio waves from the machine couldn’t go out of the room and the radio waves from people’s vehicles, including their GPS machines, couldn’t come in.

The constant clicking sound heard in a room with an MRI machine is water that cools the magnets, stopping them from heating up.

Last year, a concussion hampered Hannah Rolfe’s track and field season.

Injured in the spring, the Langley teen didn’t get the goahead to resume training until the week before the Canadian Legion track and field championships.

The lack of preparation didn’t seem to hurt as she responded by winning the gold medal in the high jump with a personal best leap of 1.67m.

Rolfe is hoping history repeats itself as she gears up for this weekend’s Canadian Legion track and field championships as once again, she finds herself recovering from an injury that has hindered her preparation.

The meet, which is being held at Langley’s McLeod Athletic Park for the second consecutive season, runs from Friday (tomorrow) to Sunday (Aug. 17).

“Last year was the concussion, this year I have had back-toback hamstring injuries and I just got cleared,” Rolfe said.

‘Four wins away from the ultimate dream’

GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s

Bragging rights are on the line as the east meets west with the Langley Events Centre hosting the Minto Cup championships.

The Minto Cup is the Canadian junior A lacrosse championship with the Coquitlam Junior Adanacs representing the west against the east’s Six Nations Arrows.

Games one and two of the bestof-seven series are this weekend (Aug. 16 and 17) with games three and four on Aug. 19 and 20. Games five (Aug. 21), six (Aug. 23) and seven (Aug. 24) will only be played if necessary. All of the games begin at 8 p.m.

The Adanacs finished second during the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League regular season but knocked off the top-seed New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies in a thrilling seven-game series in the league finals.

Coquitlam then defeated the

Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League champion Calgary Mountaineers in a best-of-five series to advance to the Mann Cup. Langley’s James Rahe will be going for the Minto Cup with Coquitlam.

Rahe was captain of the Junior Thunder and finished third in league scoring with 40 goals and 81 points in 18 games.

He was surprised to be traded — he will return to Langley next year for his final junior season — but said it was an easy adjustment.

“I know a lot of those guys (on Coquitlam) from playing against and with them on provincial teams and stuff,” he said.

“It wasn’t like I was playing with total strangers so I got used to it pretty quick.”

In seven playoff games, Rahe scored five times and had a dozen points.

“I never expected to be in this spot,” he said, about playing for the Minto Cup.

“We had a couple of good teams when I played with Langley (the last couple of years) but came up short.

“It is definitely exciting to be four wins away from the ultimate dream.”

Rahe will be counted on to help lead the offence against Six Nations.

The Arrows who play out of Hagersville, Ont., were the top team during the Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League regular season at 16-4. They beat the Whitby Warriors in the league finals.

The Adanacs were the last B.C. team to win the Minto Cup, when they won in 2010.

The Minto Cup has been in existence since 1901 when Governor-General Lord Minto donated the trophy. It was originally awarded to the senior men’s champion of Canada, before the creation of the Mann Cup. It has gone to the top junior A team since 1937.

Langley Junior Thunder’s James Rahe was an opponent of the Coquitlam Junior Adanacs when the two teams met at the Langley Events Centre earlier this season. But the Thunder traded Rahe, their leading scorer, to the Adanacs and Coquitlam is now playing in the Minto Cup finals. The junior A national championship best-of-seven series is being held at the LEC from Aug. 16 to 24.

Williams lands in T-Birds nest After wrapping up a stellar Western Hockey League career, goaltender Eric Williams is set to suit up for the UBC Thunderbirds.

“I think UBC will be a great fit for me both on the ice and academically,” said Williams. “(And) I’m thrilled to be playing near my hometown in front of friends and family, who have always been my biggest supporters.

“Having the chance to pursue a top level education while playing in a great hockey program is what drew me to UBC, making it a perfect fit.”

Williams, a product of the Langley Minor Hockey Association, went 25-32-5 over the parts of two seasons with the Prince Albert Raiders, before being traded to the Spokane Chiefs. Over the next two and a half seasons, Williams was 73-44-9 in the regular season.

Last season was the best for the 21-yearold as he went 33-19-2 with four shutouts, a 2.67 goals against average and a .906 save percentage.

“Upon meeting Eric, I was very impressed with him as a person and feel that he is a great fit for our

program moving forward,” said UBC coach Tyler Kuntz.

“Eric comes from a great program in Spokane and we are looking forward to his contributions both on and off the ice.”

Williams did suit up in one game in the East Hockey League with the Colorado Eagles following the end of his junior career.

••• James Malm has signed a Western Hockey League player agreement with the Vancouver Giants.

“I am honoured to have signed with my hometown team, the Giants,” Malm said.

“I grew up watching the team and was excited when I found out I was drafted by the Giants.”

The 16-year-old Malm was a second round pick (44th overall) of Vancouver in the WHL bantam draft in May. Malm is a five-footeight, 161-pound forward.

The Langley teen — he played with the Langley Minor Hockey Association before switching to the Burnaby Winter Club last season — had 70 goals and 144 points in 56 games in the Pacific Coast Bantam A Hockey League.

Blaze’s McComb wins Gold Glove Langley Blaze short-stop Kyle McComb earned the B.C. Premier Baseball League Golden Glove award as top defender and was named a first team allstar.

He was joined on the all-star team by fellow infielder Mitchell Robinson.

Earning second team all-star honours was pitcher Kyle Ross, who also won the league title for allowing the lowest batting average this past season.

Opposing hitters batted just .123 against the left-hander.

Ross went 5-1 on the season with an 0.85 earned run average. He also struck out 51 batters in 41 innings and threw a

no-hitter.

He won both his starts in the playoffs as the Blaze won the provincial championships earlier this month.

Robinson hit .333 for the season with eight d o u bl e s , a triple and 16 RBIs in 102 at-bats. And in the playoffs, he upped his numbers to .421 with two home runs, a triple and a double in 19 at-bats.

Both Robinson and Ross also missed parts of the season to

play for the Canadian junior national team.

McComb hit .326 with a home run and 11 RBIs in 138 at-bats.

He bumped his average up to .375 in the postseason with three more runs driven in 24 at-bats.

In the field, McComb had a fielding percentage of .890 with 39 putouts and 90 assists in 46 games.

Grants for sports groups

in

The Langley Xtreme 2003 (above) captured the Lower Mainland Cup in June; the U19 Valley Selects (below) captured the Western Challenge Cup last month as the Valley Ball Hockey Association hosted teams from across western Canada; the Langley Xtreme (bottom left) senior B women’s fastpitch team took spot at the provincial championships earlier this month at Softball City; and the Langley Blaze (left) won the B.C. Premier Baseball League championship at Whalley Stadium on Aug. 4.

A pair of Langley sports organizations are receiving more than $100,000 in support thanks to community gaming grants announced by Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

The Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association is receiving $62,500 while North Langley Diamond Sports is getting $40,000.

“It’s a challenge to put together a first-class sport program without financial assistance,” said Coleman. “These grants will go a long way to supporting minor hockey, baseball and softball in Langley.”

“For our community, the Aldergrove Arena acts as the unofficial ‘City Hall’ from the start of September until the middle of March,” said AMHA vice-president Michael McRae. “Our main goals as an association are to focus on skill development, fitness, sportsmanship and of course having fun. Hockey to our players, coaches and parents is more about laying a solid foundation of respectful personal values and promoting positive life skills as opposed to developing future professional players.

“By receiving the gaming grant AMHA is able to make hockey more affordable to the community at large which in turn assists in the development of today’s youth into becoming the leaders of tomorrow.”

North Langley Diamond Sports is a not-for-profit society that governs two independent youth sport organizations: North Langley Baseball and North Langley Softball.

“The grant allows us to offer kids aged four to 18 the opportunity to participate in our programs while maintaining a reasonable cost for families,” said NLDS treasurer Bill Oulton.

“It supports field rentals, maintenance, equipment, uniform costs, and player and coaching development. Overall it benefits the community by providing a first class experience for the players, coaches and spectators alike.”

These grants have been awarded under the Sport category of the Community Gaming Grant Program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Gaming Grants are also awarded in the categories of Arts and Culture, Public Safety, Environment and Human and Social Services.

In the 2012/13 fiscal year, the B.C. government distributed a total of $135 million in gaming grants for eligible community programs and services.

Organizations interested in applying for Community Gaming Grants can find full application information at pssg.gov.bc.ca/gaming.

Upgrades for athletic park

The Langley All-Stars took top spot at the Sea to Sky Invitational in Whistler in July.

The Langley Rebels U18 rep B softball team won bronze at the provincial championships in Abbotsford in July.

The Langley 2001 Xtreme won silver at the U14 rep B softball championships in July.

In their last season together, the Aldergrove Vipers U18 soccer team won both on and off the field. On the field the team won Fraser Valley district championship, and off of it, they raised $830 for KidSport through a variety of fundraisers.

Community grants, donations, and hard work by volunteers have made playing and watching soccer a better experience at Aldergrove Athletic Park.

And last month (July 19), a recognition ceremony was held to officially open the new improvements to the east synthetic turf field at the Park, located at 29 Avenue and 267B Street.

Two players’ seating areas, two goal storage areas, and a concrete spectators’ seating area on the west side of the turf field — a value of about $16,000 — were added thanks to community members who worked in conjunction with Township of Langley staff.

The project was funded by Aldergrove Credit Union members Brian Thomasson and Joe Breier, Aldergrove United Soccer Club, and the Aldergrove Youth Soccer Club, which utilized a Township of Langley Neighbourhood Initiative Program matching grant. The total cost of the work was covered by donations and matching funds.

“It is great to see the continued support and effort from the community going towards improving this park,” said Al Neufeld, the Township’s Manager of Parks Design and Development. “The result will be a great benefit to all those who use this field.”

Classy as can be or is that C? Seattle, WA – Mount Rainier in Washington State stands 4,392 metres high.

Its majestic presence topped off with an icy garnish, as well as wispy tufts of clouds that surround its peak. It leaves onlookers in awe.

The crystal white hue of Mercedes-Benz C400 seems to have a similar effect on people. They can’t help but stare. Some take photos. Some admire from up close, some from afar.

While the all-new C-Class isn’t covered in snow (just yet), it can certainly handle it with minimal effort. All C-Class sedans come standard with Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.

Though it’s summertime and that feature isn’t being put to use, there are plenty of other new fun things to play with in this five-person sedan.

First off, five people will fit more comfortably inside. It’s larger in every dimension compared to outgoing C-Class.

2015 Mercedes Benz C Class

ALEXANDRA STRAUB

continued from page 47

The C300 features a turbocharged 2.0L, 4-cylinder that produces 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.

(Note, this isn’t the same engine currently found in the CLA or GLA. Then there’s the C400. With 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, this new V6 has more torque and better fuel economy in comparison with the outgoing 2014.

Both engines are paired with a 7G-TRONIC transmission.

Whether using the steering wheel paddle shifters or just letting the car change the gears on its own, you also have the ability to change your driving modes thanks to the AGILITY SELECT system that gives you five choices. There’s Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+, and Individual. The modes are self-explanatory. Driving in the city and want to save more fuel? Pop it in Eco mode.

Heading to a track and want the best access to power?

That’s a Sport+ kind of day.

My weapon of choice, even for everyday driving, was the Sport mode. It gives the vehicle enough edge to make it fun and exciting, but without the harshness and abrupt gear changes that would be better suited for the track.

In Sport mode, the modified shifts and throttle response was sensitive enough to add immediate power but not overwhelming, especially in an urban setting.

Then there was the steering response, whose curve is adjusted to give you a better grasp for the road, but without the abruptness, a Sport mode could potentially offer.

Regardless, whether I was in the 300 or 400, I was a happy driver. And I had a happy passenger because we both sat in comfort for the hundreds of kilometres we put on this next generation sedan.

Along with its new interior and exterior look, the C Classes are equipped with the next generation of infotainment systems. That comes complete with Touchpad, integrated Media Interface and MB Apps.

The touchpad and I still need more bonding time. I found it confusing to use at first and I ended up pressing buttons I shouldn’t have! But if that’s the harshest criticism of the vehicle I have, it’s not doing too badly.

Okay, the B pillars are quite wide and intrude on my blind spot visibility, but again, properly adjusting the mirrors and a shoulder glance will eliminate those anxieties.

When it comes to driving, it checks off all the boxes necessary to make it a luxury sedan. It’s quiet. Road and engine noises are kept at bay. Its interior materials are soft touch and pleasing to the eyes. And it feels great to drive at slow or high speeds.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, should continue to impress, remain the top-seller and make people smile, one acceleration or turn at a time.

The C300 has a starting MSRP of $43,000, while the C400 has a starting MSRP of $51,400.

PARSONS, WARREN WAYDE MANLEY FEBRUARY 27, 1968 - AUGUST 2, 2014 It is with great sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Warren Parsons on August 2, 2014 in Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Warren is survived by his twin sons, Darren & Warren McKay-Parsons, his loving father Wayde Parsons, dedicated mother Linda Jensen, brother Darren Parsons (Tracy McInnes), sister Jennifer Parsons, step sister Laura Johnson (Mike), step brother Doug Jensen, grandmother Marie Franks & many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Warren grew up in Langley and attended Poppy, HD Stafford and Brookswood High Schools. Warren and brother Darren belonged to Langley Minor Hockey Assoc. and played on the same team for many years.

Friends Warren made on his journey through life became his friends for life.

The stories they tell are the unwritten chapters of his struggles, triumphs and lasting friendships. After failing kidneys and 5 yrs. on dialysis Darren donated a kidney to his brother in 1996, giving him a new lease on life. He loved his Canucks with a passion, music, concerts, fishing, reading, collecting, or just hanging out listening to the radio. He loved his slurpees. He loved to tease and joke. His most profound wish was to see his sons succeed. He was so very proud of them and grateful to their mother, Karen McKay, for guiding them through life. Warren often said how he loved his life and that he had a great life...I am so proud he was my son...”mama’s boy”...Rest in peace son...and we will keep you in our hearts forever...love you forever...and see you later xoxo A Celebration of Life is being held at George Preston Arena (the old Civic Center ice arena) 20699 - 42 Avenue, Langley B.C. Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014 at 3pm

Doris was a minister’s wife and with her husband served mission fields and churches in Saskatchewan and several churches in the Greater Vancouver area. In later life she and her husband attended Sharon United Church in Langley. After John passed away, she was a core member of Hazelmere United Church, a little country heritage church near Cloverdale.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the people at Zion Park Manor for their love and care.

Doris was loved by all who knew her. Unconditional love, family and music were core to her being. She treated all people with love, compassion, dignity and respect. She will be deeply missed.

A celebration of her life will be held at Hazelmere United Church, 1614 184th St., Surrey (comer of 184th St. and 16th Ave. in Surrey) on Wed. August 20, 2014 at 10:30 a.m.

Benefits: We offer permanent positions with a great group benefit pkg including: life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment, disability & dental. Competitive rates paid.
