Teens nearly drown from boat’s wake

For the foreseeable future, Joshua Low plans to sleep with his new prized possession. The Langley man was the first Canadian athlete to capture a gold medal at the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles. Low won gold in the 25m backstroke event — setting a personal best in the process — to give Canada its first of many gold medals at the Games, which ran July 25 to Aug. 2. Team Canada returned from the Games with an all-time high of 144 medals. That included 70 gold, 48 silver and 26 bronze. Another Langley athlete, Karl Anderson, helped capture the bronze in softball while two others — Alastair Singh and Matthew Williams — just missed the podium as part of the basketball team. “There is no better way to describe Team Canada’s performance at the World Games than awesome,” said Johnny Byrne, Team Canada’s chef de mission. “I could not be more proud of our athletes and coaches and how they performed on and off the field. “We return home knowing that we achieved our goals and honoured our great country.” “The road to the World Games and the experience of international competition has proven to be an incredible journey for this team,” added Sharon Bollenbach, the chief executive officer for Special Olympics Canada. “They demonstrated passion, dedication and represented our country with utmost pride.” ••• GARY AHUJA L an gley Time s

A mysterious Good Samaritan in a blue shirt is being credited for saving two teens who nearly drowned in Fort Langley on B.C. Day. Langley resident Bev Nicholls was sitting on the dock just below the Fort Pub looking over across the water to Brae Island. She was watching all the families with young children and teens enjoying the day and the water. Along with many other witnesses, she watched five teens swimming across the channel, when two men in a metallic brown speed boat with chrome exhaust pipes came speeding under the bridge. Witnesses said the boat slowed and the driver appeared to be glancing around at the beach full of people and the swimmers. That’s where people say the boat gunned it — flying up the river where the teens were swimming. The boat created such a big wake in the water that it overwhelmed the teens who were swimming. The teens started to scream and panic, said witnesses. They also screamed for help. That’s when another witness Amanda put on Facebook that many screamed for anyone to help these teens. ‘We felt helpless’ and were too far away, she wrote. Two of the teens were struggling in the water and crying out for help, she wrote. Out of nowhere, a man wearing a blue shirt ran down the embankment, jumped in the water and rescued the pair, bringing them to shore. The original Facebook post about this near drowning has been shared around 11,500 times. Because of the narrow channel, the wakes from speeding boats can create large waves, putting those using kayaks, canoes or swimming in danger. Many have shared their concern about speeding boats in Fort Langley before. The original Facebook post by Amanda asked that this story be shared as far and wide as possible because, “You men in the boat don’t know that you almost took five young, beautiful lives from this planet and their families. I hope this finds you somehow, so you know what you did, and so that it will never happen to anyone else.”

Her dad’s love is key to progress KU RT L AN G M A N N Bl ack Pre s s
An Aldergrove father who has been providing stay-at-home care for his young daughter is heartened by her steady progress. It’s a round the clock responsibility as Isabella Olmr has a rare condition that simply causes her to stop breathing. It started a mere five hours after her birth, when doctors observed “episodes of apnea with severe oxygen desaturation and apparent seizure activity.” Doctors call it hypoventilation syndrome as she shows no respiratory drive but they have not been able to determine the cause. As a result Isabella spent the entire first year of her life in BC Children’s Hospital, where she had a tracheostomy placed in her neck to assist her with her breathing. A ventilation system was connected, and sensors — a SAT monitor — set off alarms when there is a problem with her heart rate or oxygen levels. G-tube feeding was also used until Isabella started taking food from a spoon as approved by doctors at Children’s Hospital. Her father, Andrew, undertook the responsibility of being her sole caretaker after separating from Isabella’s mother in January. He also cares for their eightyear-old daughter Rachel, in the home he’s owned in Aldergrove for the past nine years. “Her mom wanted (Isabella)
to go to a foster home but I refused,” says Andrew. “I took the training; I took a crash course for three months at Children’s Hospital. There’s a lot to know.” Isabella suffered a relapse last month when the region’s air was thick with wildfire smoke, but she has still made significant strides forward.
She’s come along way at home with me. ANDREW OLMR
“She was doing really good, she was off the ventilator all day while she was awake and she was breathing on her own. Then on July 7, when the air was bad because of the wildfires, she stopped breathing,” said Andrew. Isabella was rushed into Children’s Hospital, where she stayed for 20 days for observation and recovery. “She seems to be back on track now,” he says. “She’s only on the ventilator when she’s sleeping, she’s eating with a fork, and she’s almost running. “She’s also got a speaking valve on her trach tube, and she’s using her mouth to form letters. She knows a dozen hand signs too. She’s come a long way in the
past year at home with me.” Andrew, now 50, renovated his house as well as fought a custody battle over the children for most of the first half of the first year, while he prepared to provide care for Isabella in his home. He also quit his job as a heavy equipment operator, after 25 years of working. “I’ve not been able to work since February (2014). There’s no way to go to work every day if she’s in my care.” The province funds daily shifts of nursing care in his home to spell Andrew off, but the responsibility and stress are weighing on Andrew. Every time Isabella leaves home for appointments Andrew must also have a nurse accompany them in case there is an emergency during the vehicle ride. Isabella first came home on Aug. 22, 2014, two days after her first birthday and has endured challenges. “The seizures happen when her blood sugar is down, so I feed her apple juice for that,” says Andrew. “The long-term hope is that maybe in a few years she can be off the ventilator. But they don’t know that for sure, they can only guess.” “It’s like working 10 jobs. Sometimes I’m up for 40 hours at a time, if a nurse calls in sick or whatever and they can’t get someone else in. “My life has taken a 180 turn, it’s forced me to change who I am as a person.”
KURT LA NGM A NN B lack Pre s s
Isabella Olmr is getting stronger as she approaches her second birthday this month, and one year to the date since she first came home to the care of her father Andrew. She is now able to breathe on her own for most of each day and usually only requires use of a ventilator when she sleeps.
How other communities avoid Brookswood-style battles D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A Township of Langley survey of other B.C. municipalities shows most have dedicated staff assigned to avoid blowups like the Brookswood development controversy by working to improve communication between residents and policy makers. The most popular methods of
reaching out to residents were old-school public meetings, while higher-tech online talkbacks and web presentation tools were used less often. A report to the mayor’s standing committee on public engagement shows among the 16 communities that responded to a Township request for information, a majority of 13 gave improving consulta-
tion with residents priority, but in different ways. Four municipalities had written policies that require public engagement, two had what amount to unwritten policies, and seven had dedicated staff assigned to improving communication between municipal planners and residents. The most popular methods of
communication with residents were open houses, information meetings and newspaper advertising, used by all 16 of the municipalities. Planning advisory committees and online surveys were the second most popular, used by 15. Third most popular, used by 13 municipalities, were focus group meetings, town hall meetings
and design charettes where developers, planners and residents work together. Least popular were more advanced online methods like online forums and social media, used by five or fewer of the municipalities. “ … most municipalities do not Continued Page 4

A new Langley City crime watch page has been started on Facebook to help “take a bite of crime.” The Facebook page, which can be searched by “City of Langley BC Crime Watch 24/7”, is open to anyone who wants to view and post to it. If a crime has been committed, if someone seems to be acting in a suspicious manner, or there are any safety concerns that need to be posted, people are encouraged to do so on the site. Brookswood has its own crime-related Facebook page, but it is closed which means a person has to be invited into the group. Aldergrove also has a group but it encompasses all things about living in Aldergrove and isn’t actively used. Another Facebook page Protecting Our Communities Maple Ridge, which mainly deals with crime and safety issues in Maple Ridge, but does touch in Langley, has around 500 followers, posting information daily, sometimes up to the minute if a crime or fire is taking place. The Meadowridge RCMP often respond to shared concerns about a particular incident or person. The mayor in Maple Ridge also responds to residents concerns posted on that site.

use all forms of available online engagement tools” the unsigned presentation to the committee said. The Township approached 18 municipalities about their public engagement process, but two of them, Burnaby and Vancouver, did not respond. Those who did respond included neighbouring Langley City, Surrey and Abbotsford, along with White Rock, Delta, Richmond, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Moody, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Chilliwack, Mission, Kent and Anmore. As a next step, the report suggests the Township should conduct a survey of selected people who have taken part in Township planning, asking them to rate how the municipality handles public engagement by naming successful and “less successful” examples and make suggestions for improvement. The report talks about last year’s battle over a revised Brookswood/Fernridge community plan and blames “confusion and poor information” for the resistance to the plan, adding design and implementation of the proposal to permit increased housing density “missed some key elements.” It also refers to the fight over the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley, suggesting the Township needs to identify development applications where a “bigger conversation” is needed than the standard development approval process. The mayor’s standing committee on public engagement was set up to overhaul communication with residents in the wake of last year’s fight over increased housing density in the semi-rural Brookswood/Fernridge neighbourhood. After several public hearings, dominated by opponents of the plan, Township council voted it down at an April meeting, overriding the mayor and the only councillor who backed the proposal, Grant Ward (who lost his seat in the November election).

Minister urges pause on hiring TRANSLINK CEO’S PAY LEVEL TO BE REVIEWED JEF F N AGEL Bl ack Pre s s
Communities Minister Peter Fassbender is urging TransLink to pause its search for a new permanent CEO while mayors, the board and the province consider possible governance reforms. The suggestion from Fassbender, the newly appointed minister responsible for TransLink, may ease concerns from Metro Vancouver mayors about the pay and bonus provisions for the next CEO after an online posting by TransLink offered the same compensation package as the old CEO. “It’s not just about the compensation issue,” Fassbender said. “Any person worth their salt is going to want to know clearly what their terms of reference are, what are their responsibilities and whose responsible to whom.” He said he wants mayors, the board and the province to meet as soon as possible about possible changes and “have that hard discussion before any suggestion is made about a new CEO.”

Burning truck shows up at fire hall MONIQUE TA MMING A Time s Re po rte r
In almost all cases, firefighters have to go out to the fire. But on Saturday, Langley City Fire and Rescue had the fire come to them. A large Super Save disposal truck showed up at the front of the fire hall station with its load on fire, said City fire chief Rory Thompson. “Paint on the side of the truck was beginning to blister from the heat,” he said. Firefighters set up Tower One and applied water through the open top hatch to knock down the fire. The garbage truck was then moved to the rear of the station where it dumped its load so that firefighters could complete overhauling the debris. Once it was safe, Super Save sent out a crew to clean up the soggy garbage.

Street of the Year winners MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
For the residents of 50A Avenue, living on their street just became a little more special. This section of road near Al Anderson Memorial Pool has been named 2015 Street of the Year by the City of Langley. Sarah Atherton and her neighbours who reside on 50A Avenue from 205A Street to 51A Avenue will not only get a new street sign announcing their win, but also a catered block party. Being awarded this title only strengthens the feelings Atherton, her husband, Jeff, and two kids Gavin, 6, and Emily, 4 have felt since they moved into the neighbourhood three years ago. “We love our community,” Atherton said. “Since we’ve moved in we’ve made some great friends with a lot of the families on the street. “It’s a really great place to live and a great place for kids to play.

“The kids all play together, the grown ups play together — we have a lot of fun.” It’s also a very safe area, Atherton said. The kids are free to ride their bikes outside in the cul-de-sac area without the fear of cars roaring down the road. “It’s a pretty quiet little neighbourhood,” Atherton said. “We feel really safe, everyone looks out for each other.” The City hopes the Street of the Year contest will encourage community involvement and inspire residents to take pride in the beauty and care of their street and the community as a whole. Mayor Ted Schaffer presented the certificate to Atherton’s neighbour, Brad Livingstone, and his young son, Callum, on July 27, during the last council meeting before summer break.

We are now at the beginning of a long, long march to the Oct. 19 federal election. More than one analyst has said the excruciatingly long campaign will favour the incumbent Conservative party, which has more financial resources than its NDP, Liberal and Green rivals, not to mention the many smaller parties that will also be fielding candidates. But there is a fairly obvious risk of running a campaign for more than two months — the possibility of a faux pas that turns voters off. Again, the experienced Conservatives, with their reputation for internal discipline, would seem more likely to avoid that sort of crash and burn. While the parties fight on the national stage over who messed up, and how badly, local issues can be overshadowed. Many people will vote because they think Stephen Harper should remain prime minister or because they think he should be replaced by Tom Mulcair or Justin Trudeau or Elizabeth May, even though none of them are running as candidates locally. Langley candidates and Langley issues don’t get nearly as much attention as they should in the sound and fury of a national campaign. Langley City and Township interests used to both be represented by a single member of parliament, Conservative Mark Warawa, but that changed when the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. split the community in two. The result was the new Cloverdale-Langley City riding that combines Langley City and a sliver of the Township with Cloverdale and a portion of Surrey. The Langley-Aldergrove riding that remained will include all the rest of the Township and a portion of Abbotsford. This paper suggests residents should consider voting for the candidate who best understands their local issues and is prepared to act on them. In Cloverdale-Langley City, issues of crime and public transit should be top-of-mind for a would-be MP, while in Langley-Aldergrove, transit, density and preservation of farmland are important issues. Go to the candidate forums, read your local community papers and, most important, when Oct. 19 arrives, vote.

Do you agree with the City’s decision to implement a pharmacy proximity bylaw?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
It’s just too early they
While you are reading the newspaper this morning, it’s likely that federal politicians have already hit the hustings. Prime Minister Stephen Harper dissolved Parliament on Sunday, triggering an election although Canadians won’t head to the polls until the fixed date of Oct. 19. Now this is somewhat surprising given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign. The question then is why is Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and backyard barbecues and aren’t interested in what happens in Ottawa? The answer isn’t particularly clear but obviously Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks. But there is also a danger in launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue. Increasingly, Canadians are tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics — attack, attack, attack, with very few concrete solutions to major issues coming to the table. After 78 days of negative ads from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise. What will that do to voter turnout?

Water waste weighs on many minds LETTERS KEEP FLOODING IN ABOUT GRASS WATERING
Greener in Township Editor: Even if I’m only 10 years old, I can still be observant. Have you ever noticed that most lawns are yellow and dried up? Then I will ask you this question: Have you ever noticed that the grass is always green on the Township’s properties? You probably said yes. It’s obvious that the Township is using water on their lawns.
Shouldn’t they be following their own water restriction? I’ve also seen people breaking that restriction. For example, a person was spraying off his driveway instead of sweeping it. But what aggravates me most is the Township’s actions. The grass is always greener on the Township side. MIKAYLA BROWN, LANGLEY

Langleyites are still fired up about water conservation.
Condo owners have to conserve just the same Editor: Is Joe Schiller actually being serious? (The Times, July 29). Condo and townhouse dwellers can “do their share by showering or bathing only twice a week, only [run] the dishwasher and laundry once
a week and minimize toilet flushing.” Seriously? Give your head a shake, Mr. Schiller. And to your comment that “all you’ve seen so far are restrictions against homeowners (aka taxpayers)” — guess
what — we who own condos and townhouses are taxpaying “homeowners” too. Some of us even have lawns that we can’t water and vehicles we can’t wash. Maybe you should bathe in your fish pond when you refill
it, to keep up on your personal hygiene, while us stinky condo and townhouse dwellers try to avoid social contact for fear of offending you ‘single family dwellers’. SHELLY KUCHER, ALDERGROVE
Green grass is good for the environment Editor: It is interesting to note the myriad of media “lawn professionals” educating us about lawns. Few of the comments are accurate or have a scientific base. Lawns are of a tremendous benefit in our West Coast climate. Lawns cool your environment, estimated up to 10 tons of AC per city lot. This lawn will also supply enough oxygen for a family of four. Grasses trap dust and noise as well as act as a water reservoir, purifying and slowly releasing water back into the aquifer. Rainwater on a dormant grass area will not allow water to soak in, therefore
Tennis court’s better use is for Canada’s sport
during a summer storm event, rain water will be lost into the storm sewer. Your lawn prevents significant erosion, producing over 400-600 pounds of organic matter per average city lot. Grasses use much less water than trees or shrubs. Yes, grass can go dormant, but if the lawn is still being trampled on, damage can be done to the ‘crown’ or growing point of the grass. Grasses such as turf-type tall fescues have a deeper crown or growth area which allows it to survive much better than most local commonly sold lawn seed at large box stores. Watering of lawns is
often stated to be a misuse of water. Lawns need no more than one soaking per week in order to remain active and also to “firescape” your home. Dry grass can be a fire hazard. In Metro Vancouver it is interesting to note that artificial plastic fields on which our kids play are often as much as 50 degrees hotter than the ambient air temperature yet are still allowed to be irrigated during the stage three water restrictions. During the recent Women’s World Cup games soccer games in Edmonton field temperatures reached 55 degrees Celsius, with the air
temperature at 25 C degrees. Comments heard from soccer players at the games included, “It’s like walking on hot coals, with your skin ripping and slowly cracking, constantly.” “I have plenty of blisters on my toes,” commented Alex Morgan, star on the US soccer team. An intelligent look at water usage is paramount not only during drought conditions. Often public perception does not reflect the actual truth of science. DAVID WALL PRESIDENT, PREMIER PACIFIC SEEDS LTD.
Editor: It’s unclear to me what drives city planning. In a day when it’s clear that what parents struggle with is both time with their children and giving them a reason to be off line, why would the Township choose to increase isolation? We are, after all, still rearing our future, no? With the advent of the smart phone, mass access to the internet and the evolution of video games, children’s hungry minds need to be feed with more than playful distractions, and their bodies need to be developed physically — we all have heard the tragic stats and laments of children and our future fitness level. So, it begs the question, who initiated, approved and later completed installation of the tennis courts at the park on 199 Street and 70 Avenue? I’m local, so I see that park and the subculture it’s developing. People, both male and female, aged five to 45 hit the (now tennis) courts daily to play hockey. Street hockey, roller hockey, find a stick, and join, it’s only Canada’s sport. I have observed as many as 13 people at any given time on the (now) tennis court side. When the park was completed, before the courts were installed, the hockey net fairy arrived with a crummy — but usable — net, and the sticks and children arrived. So, too, later did another net, and later a repaired net. We all know how the story goes — build it, they will come. But now that space is designated for two people, specifically two tennis players. There is, another tennis net about 1.5 kms away, that has been there for years. (It’s been available for use every time I have been there, except once). How many times have you driven down a road and had the kids playing tennis need a minute to move the net over? I am yet to have this experience, but hockey — it’s a whole different level. It’s everywhere. I’m not hating on tennis, but can we not at least develop a retracting tennis net so that the hockey gods may again try their hand at an afternoon of mixing, mingling and doing what young Canadian boys and girls have been doing since the dawn of the sport? Who thought making room for two people to play tennis was the most appropriate use of that space? COLLEEN CRAWFORD, LANGLEY

A former Langley Township aerial fire truck is now an operational piece of emergency equipment in Cebu, Philippines. Assistant fire chief Pat Walker recently returned from the populated island province, using two weeks of his holidays to train the volunteer fire brigade on how to use the large truck and aerial equipment. “This is the only operational aerial truck they have there in Cebu,” said Walker. “That is quite surprising, considering how many 50-storey highrises they have in their city.” Walker said the entire experience was both humbling and eye-opening, and made him appreciate even more the ‘Cadillac’ emergency services, equipment and training that exists in Canada. “In a city with the same square miles as the Township, they have a population of about 1.3 million people compared to our 113,000.

Truck donated as part of Firefighters without Borders From Page 11
“The firefighters I trained are all volunteer and there are about 40 of them,” he said. The aerial truck was purchased by the Township in 1989 and went into the brand new Walnut Grove fire hall. “The fire truck has a service life of 25 years and that one was rebuilt to get another five years out of it. But the cost of the next rebuild was not worth it for resale,” said Walker. “We attempted to sell it, but the truck had no market even though it was a really good truck in excellent running condition.” So the Township mayor and fire chief of Langley decided to donate it to Firefighters Without Borders, a group which counts Walker among its members. With the full financial support of Rotary International, the truck was shipped to the Philippines, arriving to Cebu in late February. “The fire brigade there got the truck and were so pleased with it. But it is technical and they wanted to know aerial tactics and how to service it properly to make sure it has a long life,” Walker said. The Cebu Filipino-Chinese Volunteers Fire Brigade is

Walker heard that other fire departments in surrounding areas charge fees to fight fires. Most fires the brigade is called to are in the shanty towns. Another member of Firefighters without Borders was also in the Philippines to teach highrise firefighting tactics, said Walker. Vancouver fire captain Bob Dubbert provided that training. The city of White Rock had previously donated a pumper
truck. During his stay in Cebu, Walker said he noticed no more than four fire hydrants. He was told that of those, not all are working. Some are shut off so the water isn’t stolen. Walker said the volunteer-run brigade was well organized and the men were gracious and kind. They kept the ‘Township of Langley’ signage on the truck and have asked Walker to come back next February for more training and assessments.

treatment can be daunting and mysterious. What is it? Will it hurt? What happens to my tooth afterwards? By addressing these questions below, you will hopefully feel Dr. Cheung, DMD more comfortable about your upcoming appointment. Dentist Root canal treatment is the process of removing infected, damaged, or dead pulp from your tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that keep your tooth alive – however, when it is infected with bacteria (e.g. from a deep cavity) or badly injured from trauma, then a root canal treatment allows you to keep your tooth instead of extracting (pulling) it. Root canal treatment can take one or more appointments to complete – think of it as a longer, more complicated filling appointment for your whole tooth. For the majority of cases, having root canal treatment feels very much like having a regular filling done. In cases where the tooth is extremely infected, your dentist may need to use a larger amount of local anesthesia to achieve complete freezing, and/or prescribe antibiotics for you to take during the week leading up to your appointment. Once root canal treatment has been completed, your dentist may recommend a crown for that tooth depending on how much tooth structure is left. A back molar tooth will typically require a crown to protect it from fracturing under normal chewing forces. With proper care and regular dental visits, a tooth that has had root canal treatment can last as long as your other teeth.

Former TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis, who was replaced in February but continues at the same pay as a consultant until his contract runs out, receives a base salary of $319,244. Bonuses, pension and other benefits took his total compensation to $440,000 last year. The July 23 posting to WorkBC on behalf of TransLink listed the same base pay for the new CEO, plus bonus of up to 30 per cent, a $14,400 car allowance, $2,500 wellness allowance and $1,200 parking allowance. “I can pretty much assure you that the mayors wouldn’t approve what was put out there,� Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said.

Be Wildlife Aware on the Road The Township of Langley is home to a diversity of WARNING wildlife habitat. Our residents share the area with USE CAUTION many types of animals – large and small. Preservation ON ROADS of wildlife habitat is considered in planning all of Langley’s communities – let’s keep them safe! Help protect our wildlife by respecting road signs and obeying posted speed limits. Motorists should use extra caution in the early morning and evening hours. Slow down and watch for animals crossing, especially on arterial roads such as 208 Street, 88 Avenue, 80 Avenue, 72 Avenue and the Willowbrook Connector.
Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley currently uses four full-time roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow.

If you have a request for mowing or brush whacking, we ask for your patience as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible. We thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements.

offers from other public sector agencies to recruit a strong leader who can turn TransLink around. Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation said the next CEO should not earn more than a typical B.C. deputy minister, adding that should be the cap for any public service or local government executive. A 2014 amendment to TransLink’s legislation says the executive compensation range to be drawn up must not exceed that of similar B.C. public sector employers or similar organizations elsewhere in Canada. The board was to have submitted the compensation plan to the mayors council for approval within four months of that amendment taking effect, but it’s way overdue.

Fitness with finesse
MIR ANDA GATHER COLE L an gley Tim es
Veteran Cirque du Soleil performer Darren Bersuk has opened his first fitness facitilty, AcroFit Alternative Fitness, to offer unique acrobatic-themed classes, including silk, pole fitness, aerial yoga, hoop and acro balance. Above: Bersuk demonstrates aerial yoga. Right: Bersuk demonstrates silk acrobatics.
NEW ACRO-FIT FACILITY OFFERS EXERCISE CLASSE S WITH AN ACROBATIC TWIST MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter
For those who find running on treadmills and lifting weights mundane, Darren Bersuk has a way to turn your workout upside down — literally. Suspending from swings, rings, silks and poles, the classes offered at AcroFit Alternative Fitness are more like being in a circus than being at a gym. And rightfully so. The owner, Bersuk, is a former Canadian national gymnast and veteran Cirque du Soleil performer who has done shows for more than 100 million audience members across 45 countries. Now he is offering a taste of the acrobatic world through his new fitness centre at 60 Avenue and 196 Street on the Langley/Surrey border. “I’ve always wanted to to open a gym of some sort,” Bersuk said. “I never knew what kind of form that would take, so I’ve constantly been trying to figure out something that’s different. “I didn’t want to build the same old gym that everyone else was opening up.” You can see this philosophy when walking in. Long strands of grey silk hang down from 28 ft. ceilings in the first studio, which participants will learn to climb and wrap around in. Two additional studios feature equipment for pole fitness, aerial yoga, hoop, acro balance, ballet bar classes and personal training. “We’re trying to bring the acrobatic genres to the normal, everyday person so they can not dread going to the gym,” Bersuk said. “We want them to enjoy going to the gym. So not only does that take something that’s fun,
but it also takes variety because we don’t want to be doing the same thing over and over again.” And if hanging upside down from a fabric swing sounds intimidating, don’t be afraid, Bersuk said. There are introductory sessions so people of all fitness levels can join. “I want to get the people that normally would never head to the gym to come here and enjoy getting fit and healthy,” he said. “You’re still getting a great workout, you’re still building muscle, you’re still losing fat and burning calories, but you’re going to have a smile on your face while you do it.” Although Bersuk has a lifetime of acrobatic accolades, including performing on Late Night with David Letterman, one of his biggest thrills is watching new people try out his passion. “It’s just seeing the reaction on their faces when they’re trying something that is new and unusual for them and the enjoyment they get out of it,” he said. “When people walk in here, they see something different and you hope that the class can live up to that hype. “So far, everything has.” AcroFit is open for both morning and evening classes, and new clients receive their first class for free.

Pirate Pak day has raised more than $347,000
MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r
On Wednesday, Aug. 12, buccaneers both young and youngat-heart can re-live childhood memories by ordering an adult Pirate Pak at White Spot restaurants while helping special kids go to camp. For the sixth consecutive year, a toonie from the sale of every Pirate Pak that day will be donated to Zajac Ranch for Children, a local charity that provides kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a unique summer camp experience. Langley White Spot has been the biggest support year after year, selling more adult Pirate Paks than any other White Spot in B.C. and Alberta. Pirate Pak Day has become an anticipated tradition that has raised $347,172 since its inception, and sent more than 100 kids to camp.
Subm itted ph oto
More than 100 kids have gone to the Zajac Ranch for Children thanks to money raised through White Spot’s annual Pirate Pak Day. This year’s Pirate Pak Day is set for Wednesday, Aug. 12. White Spot week at Zajac Ranch runs from Aug. 17 to 21 and includes activities ranging from kayaking and climbing to swimming and horseback riding. “Pirate Pak Day is a big event for us, one that both our staff and guests look forward to every year,” said White Spot president
Warren Erhart. “Money raised on this special day helps young mateys facing difficult challenges. We’ll be dressed up in our best swashbuckling outfits, so come join the merriment.” Founder of Zajac Ranch Mel Zajac said White Spot has helped put smiles on many
campgoers faces. “White Spot has become integral in our ability to enrich the lives of kids who need support,” says Zajac. “For instance, many of our campers get to ride a horse for the first time in their life.” On Aug. 12 only, adult Pirate Paks are available for both dine-in and take-out, in four options. They have just introduced a new gluten-free bun to provide more choices to guests. Each option comes in the nostalgic Pirate Pak boat, with a bounty of fresh-cut ‘endless’ fries, creamy coleslaw, soft drink, premium rich ice cream and of course, the treasured chocolate ‘gold’ coin. More than 24 million Pirate Paks have been sold since 1968. The most popular Pirate Pak items is the legendary burger and in close second is the macaroni and cheese. The Pirate Pak is 100 per cent recyclable and compostable.

Kraemer, Blaze pitchers fuel team to B.C. title GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Pitching was a problem for much of the season, but when it mattered most, the Langley Senior Blaze hurlers came up huge. The Blaze captured the B.C. senior men’s provincial baseball championship on Monday afternoon at Kamloops’ Hillside Stadium with a 3-2 victory over the Coquitlam Angels. The win capped off a spectacular weekend for the ball club as they went 5-0 and allowed just three runs combined. Langley’s pitchers threw two no-hitters and a one-hitter along the way and allowed
runs in just two of the 33 innings. “Our pitching let us down most of the year,” admitted Langley coach Dave Diachuk. “We just stuck to our process. We knew we had a good team and just kept going at it and it came together at the right time.” The Blaze were just 3-9 during the Pacific Metro Baseball League regular season — and 15-20 overall before provincials — but beat the 6-6 Burnaby Bulldogs in the playoffs to join the 9-3 Coquitlam Angels at the B.C. championships. And at provincials, Langley found their game.
ALLEN DOUGLAS Kam loops Th is Week
Langley Senior Blaze pitcher Shane Kraemer (left) was all smiles after throwing a no-hitter in his team’s opening game at the senior men’s provincial baseball championships over the weekend in Kamloops. Langley went 5-0 to capture the title. It began with a pair of no-hitters the first two days — 3-0 over
the defending provincial champion Kamloops Sun Devils and
10-0 over the Prince George Greys. Shane Kraemer tossed the first gem with Ryan Eiswerth doing the honours in game two. Jordan Broatch was up next, going the distance in a 6-1 win over the Nanaimo Coalminers. And that set up a semifinal game against Coquitlam with Jesse Peters allowing just a first-inning single in a 2-0 win. The Angels won their do-or-die game to advance to face Langley in Monday’s final — and would have to beat the Blaze twice since it was a double knockout format — and quickly plated two
runs in the top of the first off Kraemer. But the lefty settled down and Langley scored three runs in the third as Peters hit an RBI single, Keenan Chanin scored on error and Scott Webster belted an RBI double. Kraemer did escape a bases-loaded jam in the fifth and then two runners on in the sixth. Peters came on in the seventh for the one-two-three inning and the save. Kraemer was named the top pitcher as well as most valuable player at provincials. “I don’t want to disrespect our opponents or anything, but we played phenomenal

baseball,” he said. The left-hander from Chilliwack also served as the Blaze’s pitching coach this season. “Our pitching was just phenomenal,” he said about a staff that issued just seven walks over the five games. “He has been the guy who has been trying to sort out the pitching staff,” Diachuk said about Kraemer. “We tried a lot of things and he has done a great job. He just kicked it up a whole bunch of notches.” With the victory, the Blaze qualified for next summer’s Canadian national championships in New Brunswick.

Rams rally, corral high-flying Broncos offence GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
The Langley Rams used a punishing ground game and smothering defence to earn their first victory of the season. The Rams trailed the Kamloops Broncos 14-3 in the second quarter before scoring 22 of the final 25 points to win 25-17 on Sunday night at Kamloops’ Hillside Stadium. Both teams are now 1-1 in B.C. Junior Football Conference action. Nathan Lund led the charge along the ground with 144 yards
on 10 carries and one touchdown. Devin Logan also came up with a big game, carrying the ball nine times for 82 yards. Jacob Patko had a touchdown on five carries for 26 yards. “Our offensive line, they were moving,” said Langley coach Jeff Alamolhoda. “And our running backs were seeing holes well.” The game was a rematch of last year’s BCFC semifinals, which Langley won by holding on for a 48-46 victory. Kamloops, a highly explosive offensive team had scored 72 points in week one and prior to the game
against the Rams, the team’s offensive co-ordinator Mike Faisthuber told the Kamloops This Week that they expected to put up between 40 and 50 points and about 500 passing yards. The Rams defence held Kamloops to 213 yards passing, 286 total yards and 17 points. “It was really good to show our true character and our ability to fight and come back against a really good football team, a team that has a really potent offence and a flying-around defence,” Alamolhoda said.

Four make B.C. shortlist; sisters off to Canada camp Four local hockey players are one step closer to playing for Team BC. Forward Brendan Budy, defecemen Bobby Russell and Luke Zazu-
la and goaltender Jordan Naylor are among the 25 players named to the Team BC shortlist. The final roster will compete this fall at the Western Challenge Cup
against Team Alberta, Team Saskatchewan and Team Manitoba. The players will be evaluated by BC Hockey and the Team BC staff during the first part of
the upcoming season with the final roster announced in October. Budy, Russell and Zazula are from Langley while Naylor is from Aldergrove.
Langley’s Jamie Fiset is an assistant coach on Team BC. ••• A pair of Aldergrove sisters are hoping to land spots in their re-
spective Canadian rosters. Sarah and Amy Potomak earned invitations to Hockey Canada evaluation camps in Calgary. The camps began yesterday (Thursday) and run until Aug. 16. Sarah Potomak, 17, is participating in Canada’s national women’s development camp while 16-year-old Amy Potomak is at the national women’s U18 team selection camp. Both camps have 43 players attending and the players are competing to make the final 23-player rosters.
Those teams will face their U.S. counterparts in three-game series in Lake Placid, New York. The Canadian development team faces the U.S. Aug. 19 to 22 while the U18 team faces the U.S. Aug. 20 to 23. Sarah Potomak is off to the University of Minnesota in the fall where she will skate for the Golden Gophers on scholarship. She had previously attended the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy in Kelowna. Amy enters Grade 11 at POE and has also committed to Minnesota.

Langley also had an interception and a fumble recovery, with the latter of the turnovers coming midway through the fourth quarter and the game tied at 17. Three players later, quarterback Dylan Tucker — who entered the game late in the third quarter — threw a touchdown pass to Seye Akinsanmi for the winning score. Alamolhoda said the insertion of Tucker gave the team a spark heading into the fourth quarter. Brock Gowanlock continued his fantastic start to the season as he finished with a pair of quarterback sacks. As a team, the Rams dropped quarterback Stephen Schuweiler five times. Saeed Hosaine-Ali had two sacks and four tackles while Austin Iredale had the other sack. “We have some guys up front, as well as linebackers, that are giving different looks and pressures. And they are competing their butts off and finishing (their plays),” Alamolhoda said. Defensive lineman Alex Agnoletto — the B.C. Lions defensive player of the week — led the team with eight tackles and John Beckerleg and Clovis Lumeka each had four tackles. Lumeka also picked off a pass and returned it 22 yards. Kicker Brian Hope was also named the B.C. Lions special teams player of the week, connecting on his only field goal, three converts and adding a kickoff single. He also averaged 48.6 yards per kickoff and 36.5 yards per punt. Despite the victory, the Rams did have some areas of concern to address, chiefly their discipline as they were flagged 23 times for 205 yards in penalties. “It is definitely something that we as a team will be concentrating on and trying to figure out a way to reduce and eliminate our mistakes so we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot again,” Alamolhoda said. The Rams will play their home opener on Saturday night at McLeod Athletic Park when they host the 0-2 Valley Huskers. Game time is 7 p.m. — with files from Kamloops This Week

Jr. Blaze top seed for B.C’s
A four-hit shutout from Wesley Moore helped the Langley Junior Blaze win their regular season finale. The U16 baseball team blanked the Whalley Junior Chiefs 8-0 on Saturday at Whalley Athletic Park. Langley finished as the top team in the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League with a 27-9 record, three games ahead of second place. Cole Schwing powered the offence with a pair of RBIs while Colby Ring had an RBI triple
and Jaron Jeske had three base hits. The teams also played on July 30 with Whalley winning a wild one, scoring six runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to force extra innings and then winning 14-13 in the ninth inning. Brockton Wickins had a pair of RBIs while Jake Kristensen and Jayden Knight drove in one run apiece. Langley will compete at the eight-team provincial cham-
pionships which begin today (Friday) and run through the weekend at North Vancouver’s Parkgate Park. The Junior Blaze are in a pool with the Victoria Junior Mariners (13-23), the Victoria Junior Eagles (20-16) and Whalley (2115). The other pool features the North Shore Junior Twins (2412), Abbotsford Junior Cardinals (23-13), North Delta Junior Blue Jays (19-17) and the White Rock Junior Tritons (18-18).

coupes much bigger than the 500 and didn’t have the same luxury. Then there’s the engine. Its humble 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque being produced from its 1.4L, MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder might look mediocre on paper, but it brings this car to life. And of the three available engines offered, the base, naturally aspirated 1.4L MultiAir, the Turbo, or the Turbo from the Abarth version (160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque), the 500 Turbo (middle child of engines) is my top pick. It is spirited, peppy and makess driving fun. It’s enough horsepower too play with, but not enough to get into too much trouble. Adding to the fun factor is w the introduction of an all-new uAisin heavy-duty six-speed auual lover to tomatic transmission. A manual the core, I quite liked the new addition to the fold. It also took the edge off in urban commuting. And for the times when you want a little more gusto, there’s a “Sport” mode. You’ll find this magical button on the instrument panel. What it does is change the throttle mapping for improved engine responsiveness. While I love the car as a whole, I still have a couple of quibbles with it. The instrument panel (with the push

And it looks misplaced. But for the reasons I wrestle with the Fiat 500 Turbo, there are plenty more favourable features that put me at ease.

Then there’s the drivability. I love iits competency in corners.

They’re excited about their car and want to share the love. The Fiat 500 Turbo Hatchback has a starting MSRP of $21,395. But with all the options, the price as tested comes out to $30,370.

Quiring, Emily Helen February 5, 1961 - July 31, 2015 It is with love and great sadness that we announce the passing of Emily Quiring, wife, mother, sister, daughter and friend. Emily was the fifth child born to Jacob and Helen Isaak of Medstead, Saskatchewan. She was an energetic and determined child, loving volleyball and horseback riding. She attended Bethany Bible College and SAIT, receiving her business administration diploma, all the while being romanced by a Saskatchewan born farmer and cowboy. Emily married Rodney Quiring on October 8, 1983 and they enjoyed 32 happy years together, raising two kids, traveling the world, and opening their home and fridge to any and all who visited. After moving to Langley, BC in 1996, Emily saw much success in the business community and volunteered her time helping with events at North Langley Community Church, where she was able to fully use her gifts of kindness, generosity, and leadership. On July 31, 2015, Emily lost a bravely and graciously fought, 20 month battle with breast cancer.
