Trees cut for safety Alex Browne Staff Reporter
Safety concerns – and the prevention of a possible catastrophic event - prompted the City of White Rock to schedule removal of three trees along the Marine Drive “hump” this week. And another nearby tree was to be pruned for the same reasons, city officials announced Monday. Structural defects indicated at least three of the trees, in the 15100- and 15200-blocks of Marine Drive, were liable to fall, according to a report from city arborist Aelicia Otto. And engineering and municipal operations director Rob Thompson said Tuesday that while it is city policy to preserve and protect trees whenever possible, the main concern in this instance was ensuring the integrity of retaining walls on the slope. “This is a high priority for us...It would be a catastrophe for the city if the slope were to fail,” he said, adding the city had engaged geo-technical consultants about a month ago to study trees adjacent to retaining walls on the “hump.” One tree – the first to be removed - had four trunks, one of which was starting to fail, threatening to drag the entire tree and root system down the hillside, Thompson said. “The city has a lot of investment in assets in that area, including roads, sidewalks and services under the road,” he said. If a tree fell, pulling retaining walls and soils from the bank down with them, “it could collapse the road and burst the services – which would, potentially, bring down the whole hillside,” Thompson added. “There’s a force main at the bottom of the hill, and if that see page 3

Catherine Dawn hit by car at South Surrey intersection
RENT IT FAST!!
Runner urges caution A White Rock woman who was struck in a South Surrey crosswalk last Tuesday (Aug. 24) is appealing to drivers to pay attention to the roads, particularly with the start of school just days away. “If that was a kid that got hit... how horrible,” said Catherine Dawn. “That area – they just gotta stop.” Dawn, owner of FloMotion Fitness & Yoga Studio, was training for a 5-km race when the collision occurred around 5:30 p.m. as she and her training partner crossed 148 Street at 17 Avenue. The intersection has a pedestrian-activated light – which was installed two years ago, after a traffic study found only 21 per cent of drivers along 148 Street obeyed the schoolzone speed limit – and Dawn is confident her partner hit the button before they crossed. As well, other vehicles had stopped to wait for them, she said. Her running partner crossed first and narrowly missed being hit herself, Dawn said. The driver that hit Dawn “came out of nowhere,” she said. “He just missed her and hit me... I sort of hit his windshield, side mirror, then was sort of spun like a top. I was really fortunate I

She suffered multiple soft-tissue injuries along the right side of her body in the collision. Her right arm is in a sling, and she was to start physiotherapy this week. Police are investigating. With school just around the corner, Dawn reiterated drivers need to pay attention. She saw a close call at the same intersection with another pedestrian on Thursday. “Kids are going to be there,” she said. - Tracy Holmes

news Peter Tilbury on ‘fact-finding exercise’ to discover reasons for backlogged health-care system
Year-long MRI wait too much: patient Alex Browne Staff Reporter
South Surrey resident Peter Tilbury will have to wait until January 2011 for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging scan) appointment at Peace Arch Hospital. And that’s a little long, he feels, given that injuries to his shoulder – which necessitated the scan – were the result of a fall down concrete stairs in January of this year. Tilbury said he remains in considerable pain and discomfort from injuries that are still awaiting full diagnosis, but his own subsequent research has told him he is lucky to be waiting only 12 months for a scan. He said he has learned from talking to staff that MRI waits are now up to 15 months (to October 2011) at the ❝My next email hospital – and are likely to Mr. Falcon to increase, given current demand and hospiwill ask, at tal funding cutbacks. what point And, Tilbury said he is does the wait still waiting for a direct time become response to emails he sent to health minister unacceptable?❞ Kevin Falcon in June Peter Tilbury and July with his conpatient cerns about the issue. Falcon was not available for comment at press time Tuesday. “I’m not trying to jump the queue,” Tilbury said. “I had no idea how many MRIs were being done. I did this as a fact-finding exercise.” But he suspects – given that wait times for the scan are continually increasing – new patients may currently be waiting 18 months for an MRI. “It appears that Mr. Falcon doesn’t consider 15 months too long to wait for an MRI. I guess my next email to Mr. Falcon will ask, at what point does the wait time become unacceptable?” Tilbury said. But Joan Marshall, Fraser Health spokesperson, said that MRI waits at the hospital can vary widely, from “the same day to 14 months down the line,” depending on how urgent they are deemed. The longest a patient has to wait currently is 14 months, she said. “There is a priority for MRI scans, which is established by the physician in consultation with a radiologist,” she said. In his most recent email to Falcon, on July 23, Tilbury said his family is urging him to have a private MRI, and asked what the min-

Peter Tilbury, who was hurt last January, will have to wait until January 2011 for an MRI, which he says is far too long. ister would recommend. Contacted by Peace Arch News, private health provider Timely Medical Alternatives said it could do a shoulder scan and return the results in 24 hours – for $825. While a ministry representative contacted Tilbury by phone in response to his emails, the answers have been less than satisfactory, he said. He, too, was told that there was a priority for more urgent MRIs, but has not been able to see how this could be accessed through the requisition form from his doctor.
South Point Exchange sold for $91 million South Point Exchange has been sold to a private Canadian investor for $91 million. The transaction – which closed Monday – is being called the largest openair mall retail investment transaction in Western Canada so far this year. “The deal is significant because it marks the largest retail investment transaction with a private purchaser in more than a decade,” Bob Levine, of commercial real estate services company Avison Young, which negotiated the transaction, said in a statement. “The size of this transaction represents the upper reaches of what most
private investors can afford. “Moreover, other large enclosed-mall sales in B.C. this year exceeding $50 million in value have been bought either by institutions or public companies.” The 267,000-square-foot mall, at 3033-3191 152 St., was sold by property group Grosvenor Americas and its institutional investors. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. “Given the long-term stability of the property’s cash flow, we felt that the timing was right to sell,” Andrew Galbraith, chief investment officer of Grosvenor Americas, said in the statement.
He has received more helpful information, he said, from the MRI department at the hospital. In his latest email to Falcon, Tilbury said he was told the department receives 10 to 30 MRI requisitions per day, but, due to government funding cutbacks, can only process a maximum of seven per day. Tilbury added he was also told there is one MRI technician at the hospital, working eight hours a day, five days per week. “You can see from the request-to-fulfillment ratio that they will never catch up and
will actually fall further and further behind,” he said. Meanwhile, as he waits for his MRI, Tilbury said his condition is not improving. His doctor believes he has a torn rotator cuff, but they won’t know for sure until Tilbury has his MRI. Marshall said Fraser Health empathizes with patients who have to wait for the scans. “No one likes to wait, particularly when they’re in pain,” she said. “If patients are concerned about the wait, we urge them to consult their physician.”
Slope stability main concern: Thompson from page 1 went out, it would take out sewer service to the east side of the city.” The trees slated for removal were red alders across the street from 15211 and 15165 Marine Dr., and a big-leaf maple across from 15191 Marine Dr. The fourth tree, another big-leaf maple across from 15191 Marine Dr., will be pruned and monitored every six months to assess the rate of decay up its southern stem. Thompson said he had discussed the removal of the trees with Don Pitcairn, a South Surrey resident and longtime foe of tree cutting and trimming on the hump. “He said he was primarily concerned was slope stabil-

of the work, and Thompson said that once the trees are removed, there will be remedial plantings around the remaining stumps and
root systems to help ensure slope stability. “I’ve raised the issue with the railway,” Thompson said. “One of the things that I’d like to see established is a ‘sustainable vegetation management plan’ that would look at vegetation that will continue to hold the slope together. “Rather than planting kinds trees that may eventually fall, we’d like to look at what is the best vegetation that will contribute to maintaining the integrity of the slope.” Mayor Catherine Ferguson said in a statement that safety of residents is “our chief concern.” “Any vegetation growth that jeopardizes that safety must be addressed.”

Concert-goer seeks passengers last season’s group who are returning again this year, so a HandyDART bus can again be secured. Tea and Trumpets will hold its first performance Oct. 7, and follow with five more Thursdayafternoon shows until May. “As long as we can have our numbers remain constant, and hopefully add a few more, it’s a go for the whole season.” Walraven said using HandyDART has been a “very, very positive experience” for her mother. “This has just rekindled something she thought she had to give up.” Wilson said she is grateful to have continued attending performances. “It’s such a wonderful service and it has meant that I don’t have to cut off my symphony connection, which I would miss greatly if I didn’t have that ability to get to the concerts. HandyDART registrants interested in using the service to attend Tea and Trumpets can contact Walraven at gbwalraven@shaw.ca
Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
The Pacific Arbour Tea and Trumpets Series is set to begin this fall, and local symphony-goer Georgie Wilson is once again looking for people in the community who are interested in attending but need assistance getting to Vancouver. The White Rock senior hopes to connect with enough registered HandyDART users to fill one of the service’s buses, so a route can be created specifically for the concerts. Wilson was successful in having a HandyDART bus transport Peninsula ticket holders to last year’s concert series – presented by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra at the Orpheum Theatre – after Peace Arch News reported her inability to use the new Canada Line. For four years before the opening of the new rapid-transit line, Wilson had taken the 351 bus directly to the concerts. Starting last September, however, Peninsula buses such as the 351 began stopping at Bridgeport Station in Richmond, where commuters now transfer to the Canada Line before continuing into Vancouver. Wilson’s daughter, Gail Walraven, said at the time the trip would be difficult for her 83-year-old mother, who uses a walker. “The combination of deteriorating health and the 351 stops at Bridgeport... made it impossible for her to go,” Walraven said last week, noting she presented the dilemma to HandyDART, which Wilson is registered with. “They only had the one bus a day going from White Rock, mainly for medical

Phone system in place for future from page 1 since cleaning and inspection. Ironically, Rector said, the Merklin high reservoir was examined last year by engineers studying how to upgrade the facility to address water ‘stratification’ – or ensure that water is moved around within a reservoir rather than standing for a long time at one level. Neither that work, or preliminary examination of the reservoirs at the onset of the current crisis, identified any problem with seals on the reservoir, Rector said. He added the company has a “five-year rolling capital plan” to upgrade and modernize facilities such as the reservoirs, and noted intrusions into the system from source to tap are not common. Indeed, the fact that water in the Epcor system is kept at pressure means that it is more likely to “push things out than let things in,” he said. Meanwhile, the Roper Avenue reservoir has been taken offline and is being drained, inspected and cleaned as part of a policy Rector described as “an abundance of caution.” But this does not mean Epcor will be breathing any sighs of relief, Rector said. “Given what we have to do yet in reassuring the public, I don’t think I’ll reach that point any time soon.” During the ongoing process of

Epcor has warned this may mean water from taps is slightly discoloured, has a slight chlorine odor and some noticeable particles may be visible. The company describes this as an “aesthetic” rather than health issue, and that boiling the water willl remove any odour. And Epcor – which has received criticism over the way the communication was handled during the current advisory – has a new
way of informing customers of issues affecting their drinking water. An automatic voice messaging system will update all account holders – whether landlords or property owners – by telephone, using customers’ on-file telephone numbers. According to Epcor, this means that, in future, more than 4,000 account holders – including some 80 in South Surrey – will be informed within minutes of any water-supply issues, including any lifting of the current boilwater advisory.

Strange animosity for refugees
I
n a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per cent of residents are first- and secondgeneration immigrants, it’s difficult to comprehend the vitriolic – and inaccurate – comments being said about the Tamil migrants now in our midst. Last month, 492 people from Sri Lanka arrived off the coast of B.C. aboard the MV Sun Sea. A recent Angus Reid Poll reported that 83 per cent of Canadians were upset the migrants jumped the immigration queue; 63 per cent wanted to turn them away; and just 35 per cent would allow the migrants to claim refugee status. First off, there has been no “queue-jumping.” Refugees, unlike immigrants, can claim status at any point of entry in Canada – including airports, the U.S.-Canada border, or in the Tamils’ case, in Canadian waters – at any time. Queues are in place for would-be Canadians abroad who are in safe enough situations to be able to fill out forms and send in applications. Refugees are fleeing desperate conditions that put their lives at risk. As for turning the boat away, do we really want to go there again? In May 1914, 376 people from India aboard the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver. After much public outcry, the Royal Canadian Navy forced the vessel from the harbour, and following four miserable months at sea, 20 passengers were killed and nine wounded in an altercation when the ship arrived back in Calcutta. Two years ago this month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper – speaking to a crowd of approximately 8,000 people in Bear Creek Park – apologized for the Komagata Maru incident. Are the Tamils somehow deserving of different treatment? Currently incarcerated, their backgrounds will be investigated – including allegations of terrorist links and people-smuggling activity. Canada is not awash in refugees, accepting less than 20,000 annually, and as a signatory to several international agreements, Canada has a legal obligation to review all refugee claims. In 1994, wrestler Daniel Igali – in Victoria to compete in the Commonwealth Games – skipped his return flight home and applied for refugee status to escape poverty in his native Nigeria. He, of course, went on to become a Surreybased hero who won Olympic gold in 2000. Who among the Tamils could be the next Daniel Igali? More importantly, who are we to deny them the opportunity based on misinformation and a disturbing (considering our successful pluralism) animosity towards outsiders?

96 responding can vary widely. The Afton and Mt. Milligan mine deals were apparently what Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was referring to when I spoke to him in late July about the prospects for the Prosperity gold-copper mine near Williams Lake. Bennett promised a public offer to area aboriginal communities for revenue sharing in the Prosperity mine. This provoked a swift and negative response from the Tsilhqot’in National Government, the regional group that has battled in court for years to declare that the Crown has no title to the region their ancestors fought and died for in the Chilcotin War of the 1860s. The federal cabinet is considering a final decision on a Crown permit for the Prosperity mine, in another logging region that will feel the effects of beetle kill for decades. At worst, the situation looks as if it could slip into another Oka or Gustafson Lake confrontation. After many years of following agonizingly slow treaty negotiations, and listening to the constant drumbeat of grievances from groups such as the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, I’m pleased to add McLeod Lake to B.C. aboriginal success stories at Westbank, Osoyoos, Klahoose, Tsawwassen, Maa-Nulth and others who have put the past behind them.

Editor: Epcor offers its appreciation to the people of White Rock and South Surrey for their patience and understanding as we work through the boil-water notification and the discovery of E. coli bacteria in the water system. Safety of the water is Epcor’s first priority. Sampling and testing is undertaken regularly, and it was through this protocol that a low-level presence of E. coli was discovered. Epcor confirmed the results within 24 hours and immediately initiated talks with Fraser Health. This resulted in the notification issued Aug. 20. While the notification has been in place for more than a week, Epcor has worked as swiftly as possible to inspect and clean the system. We will not compromise the safety of the community. At the time of writing, crews have worked nonstop to drain, clean and disinfect the Merklin reservoirs and flush the distribution system. Epcor has some indicators
regarding the source of the contamination. We will continue to pursue confirmation, and then take any steps required to fix the problem. We have taken concerns regarding the public notification process seriously and have taken steps to improve those procedures contained in our Emergency Response Plan, including a new auto-dialing system with a recorded message. The most recent sampling has been encouraging, showing the reservoirs and distribution lines are carrying clean water. Epcor will continue this work until Epcor and Fraser Health have obtained the necessary data, over several days, to assure us that the water is safe so that the boil-water notification may be rescinded. We will continue to provide updates on www.epcor.ca and via our automated messaging service. Customers may also call Epcor’s information line at 604-536-6112. David Rector, Epcor Utilities Inc.
we be chlorinating the water?” But rather, “have we been doing proper maintenance on our system?” Maybe if we had a hands-on manager in White Rock, instead of at a desk in Calgary, we wouldn’t be having this problem. Margaret F. Woods, White Rock Q Epcor tested the water Aug. 17, receiving a low reading some 36 to 48 hours later on Aug. 19, then re-tested that same day and was only able to issue notices to the hospital and other at-risk parties at 10:58 p.m. Friday, Aug. 20. This was more than 72 hours after testing was done, and effectively, seniors, children and those suffering from illnesses were not informed until at least Saturday morning. Epcor needs to answer some serious questions, and our mayor and council should likely be representing the citizens – not taking sides at this stage of the game – whether it be on the chlorination issue or on the issue of whether appropriate and timely notification was given by Epcor. Such questions include: • Why does Epcor not maintain a database for email distribution in case of emergency? • For a council that worried about a two-minute reduction in fire department response time, what concerns are being considered about a 36- to 48-hour delay in receiving water test results, and a 72- to 84-hour delay in even partial notification of White Rock water utility users? • When health authorities have concluded it is better to use chlorine in appropriate doses than to face the issues of untreated water, why is anyone speaking on my behalf to state I do not want chlorination in our water supply? • Why did Epcor only offer one information line Saturday? Epcor needs to restore faith of its consumers, and the belief of the consumers that we have the best water supply in Canada. As an aside, I still believe Epcor is better at running the utility than the city would be – read the Walkerton Inquiry results about the requirement that water providers be specialized. The citizens need to know how many tests are taken in the city, the frequency of the tests and what can be done to speed up test results. Now that we know our water is not immune to E. coli contamination, if results are not available immediately, chlorination must be considered by the medical health officer. Tom Kirstein, White Rock
On one occasion, two new credit cards were stolen. The thieves were able to activate one of them. Fortunately, our financial institution caught the problem early on and absorbed the charges. Unfortunately, timely notice was not given by the post office about these break-ins. Identity theft, fraud and financial theft are a few of the serious crimes related to mailbox break-ins. The costs to citizens and institutions are ever-increasing. It is not acceptable that Canadians be financially
responsible for fraudulent and illegal activities when the integrity of the mail system has been compromised. The post office has to do more than the token tinkering with mailbox key solutions. They are temporary and ineffective at best. The decisions to address the lack of security of the mail system lie with senior post office managers in Ottawa and with parliamentarians. MP Russ Hiebert’s office (South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale) is aware of the growing complaints but
the lack of information regarding solutions coming from the post office and government is troubling. Mail theft in the United States is treated as a serious crime. Here in Canada, significantly more police resources need to be devoted to this issue and penalties must be upgraded to discourage these activities. For its part, the post office has to develop the delivery infrastructure that will prevent theft in the first place. J. Jeffries, Surrey
Residual effects Editor: Re: Councillors criticize E. coli warning, Aug. 27. White Rock water issues brings out coulda’, shoulda’ and woulda’. I padded to my computer at 8 a.m. on Aug. 21 to find an email from our strata president advising of a White Rock boil-water advisory and requesting that all residents in our building be informed with reference to an online Peace Arch News headline posted overnight. We made copies of that PAN article, distributed them to all building residents and handed them out at our workplace and morning coffee shop. By 10 a.m., everybody in our circle of influence was aware. A quick read described the issue was a sample in the delivery system – not the source, the aquifer – and the advisory was precautionary, not an imminent danger. No residents or visitors had reported any ill effects. Now, seven days later, White Rock councillors huff and puff over the risk to their health, almost nil given the sample and source, and suggest a door-to-door warning system – all for maximum political effect. I suggest councillors put aside the trauma of brushing their teeth and taking their pills to ask what they did, and every other resident up on their heels, to alert friends, neighbours, and business associates. PAN knew late Friday evening. The question is, what did all of us do between then, and expressing our outrage seven days later? Larry Robinson, White Rock Q Re: ‘Slightly chlorinated’ water to flow from White Rock taps, Aug. 27 (www.peacearchnews.com) The White Rock water crisis seems to be solvable in one word. It would seem logical to follow suit with the rest of North America – perhaps the world – and chlorinate. Although chlorination is not perfect, it is much preferable to leaving White Rock water untreated. We are rather naive to think water can be collected from underground springs and consumed directly, even though this has happened for many decades in White Rock. So, do we wait until people start dying of E. coli-laden water – like in Walkerton – or do we chlorinate on a permanent basis now? David Strand, White Rock
Mail theft a serious crime Editor: The recent surge in thefts from residential mailbox pickup locations – more than 100 in Langley last week alone – raises some important issues. Our box in South Surrey has been broken into three times in the last eight months that we are aware of.

Epcor’s Carl Kozak monitors flushing at Pacific Avenue and Balsam Street. Q First, it is clear that E. coli is not coming from the wells, but most likely the storage or delivery system. There are three reservoirs in White Rock. The one with the problem is actually a 250,000-gallon fire-
storage reservoir that must be pumped out at least once a week to make sure the water stays fresh while it’s hooked into the water system. The other two are flushed every day with fresh well water. So, the question is not, “should

Date night turned costly for an Abbotsford teen recently, after he eased his car between boulders bordering Blackie Spit to get a better view of the water. Const. Kenn Meglic said he wondered what was up when he and another officer came across a grey Toyota parked on the Crescent Beach promenade at the foot of McBride Avenue and Wickson Road around 11 p.m. Aug. 21. Access to the point is blocked after dusk by a locked gate. Exploring further, the officers found a young couple taking in the sights. “(The driver) took his girlfriend there for a little opportunity to catch the view,” said Meglic. “You sort of expect to encounter the odd person who is not complying with the bylaw, but you certainly don’t expect to find a vehicle in that area... right in the pedestrian area.” When asked what made him consider maneuvering between the boulders, the 19-year-old told police he had done it before, Meglic said. While the driver was responsible enough to own up to the act, Meglic said he had no choice but to ticket him for being in the park after dark – it came with a $200 fine. - Tracy Holmes

But a promised expansion of the U-Pass system to include all post-secondary students at a $30 monthly price won’t kick in this fall. Institutions such as Kwantlen Polytechnic University must still hold student votes on whether to adopt U-Pass. “The earliest they could have pass in hand is probably January,” Hardie said. Some Metro mayors worry the U-Pass expansion could put tremendous new demand on the transit system, beyond TransLink’s capacity. But Hardie said it’s unclear whether all eligible institutions will join. He also noted some that are eligible – such as BCIT, Vancouver Community College and Emily Carr University of Art and Design – already have large numbers of students taking transit. Hardie said other transit changes this September include: • A new community shuttle serving New Westminster. • Reconfiguration of bus exchanges at Capilano University, New Westminster Station and UBC Loop.

Caution sounded over ‘orgy of exploitation’
Fraser sockeye count climbs Jeff Nagel Black Press
The immense run of sockeye salmon converging on the Fraser River is getting even bigger. Fishery officials now estimate 30 million sockeye are returning, an increase in their count from 25 million. It’s a record return not seen since 1913, when nearly 39 million sockeye came back before a huge rock slide into the river formed Hells Gate and disrupted salmon stocks for decades. This year’s run is now poised to be nearly three times higher than the roughly 11 million projected in advance of the season. This year’s late run was expected to be big because it includes the peak-cycle Adams River run. But it has exceeded all expectations, with the Pacific Salmon Commission Friday raising its in-season estimate of late-run sockeye to 21.4 million, compared to an 8.5 million pre-season forecast. So far, more salmon (6.4 million) have made it upriver past the gillnetters on the lower Fraser than the 5.7 million estimated to have been caught to date by all sectors. And there are still plenty of fish in the sea. An estimated 8.9 million laterun sockeye are delaying in the Strait of Georgia. It’s the first time in four years commercial fishermen have been
granted openings, after disastrous runs for two straight years that sparked a judicial inquiry that begins hearings this fall. Salmon commission officials say the massive run is due to the high numbers of sockeye that spawned four years ago and much better rates of marine survival – likely due to favourable temperatures, more plentiful food and fewer predators. Fish processors have struggled this week to keep up with the tide of fish coming in. Gillnetters in the river worked around the clock earlier this week to take advantage of a 32-hour opening. They were granted another 24-hour opening starting 10 a.m. Monday and a 12-hour opening today (Wednesday). Trollers and seiners are continuing to fish until further notice. Large numbers of sockeye are also being spotted on upstream spawning grounds, and are mostly arriving in good condition. “To see such a huge return is good in some senses, but it’s a bit shocking as well,” said fisheries biologist Stan Proboszcz of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. He kayaked at the mouth of the river earlier in the week and was astonished to see the water “boiling” with salmon all around him. Proboszcz said no one should
forget the threats from climate change, habitat loss and sea lice haven’t vanished and the trend of declining sockeye stocks could resume next year. Sto:lo fisheries adviser Ernie Crey said fishery managers need to put the brakes on to avoid overfishing weak, late-running stocks, like the endangered Cultus Lake sockeye. He said industry claims of the need to avoid overcrowding the spawning beds is simply spin to justify a continued “orgy of exploitation.” Crey noted one condition of the Fraser sockeye recently getting the Marine Stewardship Council’s eco-certification as a sustainable seafood source was a commitment to protect and restore the Cultus run, adding the planned catch rate may be a violation. “They could lose the certification they fought so many years to get because they can’t say no to the industry lobby that’s in full-tilt boogie right now.” Fisheries and Oceans Canada B.C. area director Barry Rosenberger said the Cultus catch rate could be around 32 per cent, slightly over the 30 per cent limit set out in the pre-season plan. That shouldn’t over-tax the stock, he said, because Cultus sockeye, like the rest of the Fraser run, are believed to be coming in stronger than in past years.

perspectives …on the Semiahmoo Peninsula
Denise Thew headed to United States in order to attain her PhD
Move south pays off for deaf woman Hannah Sutherland
H
Staff Reporter
aving grown up in White Rock as a deaf person, Denise Thew knew the only way to reach her goals was to
leave. Wanting to advance in her education and career – and not finding enough resources locally – the then-24-year-old boarded a plane for California. “I couldn’t accomplish what I wanted to do in the Vancouver area and so I began my search and I found that I was able to be successful if I moved.” The decision to relocate paid off. Thew, now 37 and living in New York, recently acquired her PhD in psychology and is working for the Deaf Wellness Centre at the University of Rochester. And while the accomplishment is commendable – even more so considering she is deaf – the path that led Thew to this point was not without its obstacles. When she was two years old, Thew was treated at Peace Arch Hospital for life-threatening meningitis. While she survived the illness – which affects membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord – she lost her hearing as a result. At three years old, Thew began attending Vancouver Oral Centre for Deaf Children (now Children’s Hearing and Speech Centre of BC), where she tried learning to speak and read lips. It wasn’t until she was 12 that she was introduced to sign language at Uplands Elementary School in Langley. After high school, she studied accounting and computer programming for three years at Douglas College and worked as a bank teller. But Thew found it difficult to progress in her education due to a lack of services, such as qualified interpreters. “There were a lot of barriers in receiving enough interpreting services in both employment and education,” she said through video relay service (VRS), in which she communicates over a video phone with hearing people in realtime, via an interpreter. Thew said she also struggled with her identity, and had difficulties accepting her deafness. “I never really felt like I fit into the hearing world and at the same time, I didn’t really feel like I fit into the deaf world. I was lonely,” she said. “I didn’t accept my deaf identity at that time and I really struggled with that.” Thew moved to California when she was 24, studying deaf studies and mathematics.

lifestyles White Rock firefighters’ Shore2Shore campaign receives boost
Thousands raised at royal party Hannah Sutherland Staff Reporter
More than 100 young girls dressed in their best princess attire attended last weekend’s Princess Party, helping to raise money for White Rock firefighters’ Shore2Shore team. The Aug. 29 event – which drew 102 girls aged two to 12 – raised $3,450 for the team, which will head out on a 6,800-kilometre cross-Canada bike relay Sept. 8 in an effort to raise $100,000 for Variety the Children’s Charity. “It was beyond my wildest imagination how absolutely meaningful the event was,� organizer Myra Merkal said. “I had such an opportunity to really get a glimpse of what it is to be a little girl again just through the eyes of all the little ones.� The White Rock grandmother – whose son, Evan Bird, will be participating in Shore2Shore – said one of the purposes of the party was “to make each little princess feel like she was beautiful both inside and out, and we wanted her dreams to come true.� Special guests included White Rock ambassadors wearing their sashes and gowns; White Rock Mayor

Everyone was
clamouring to her.� Girls could have their hair and makeup done, decorate cookies and make a wish over the “magic wishing well castle,� which gave every princess a prize. There was also a cake walk, with enough cakes for each little girl to
take one home. The local firefighters were on hand cooking up hot dogs. Merkal said she feels “absolutely blessed and grateful� for the fundraiser’s success. “It truly was a community event,� she said.

What a summer we’ve been having! People are starting to think about autumn now we’re facing the Labour Day Weekend. There’s a lot to look forward to here in Ocean Park. But before we start looking forward, let’s look back a little and send out big thanks to Janice Savage for taking on the task of organizing the Spirit of the Sea festival. She’d be the first to say it couldn’t have been done without the help of volunteers like OPBA’s Mike Powley and Tara Sketchley. Congratulations to Makai Genovese, local dance teacher extraordinaire, who has students travelling all over to competitions (including Las Vegas) and doing very well indeed. Makai is partnering with the Ocean Park Community Association to put on an evening of dance as a fundraiser for the Food Bank later on this year. Watch this column and Makai’s website www.dancemakai.com for more information about dance and plans for the future. Congratulations to Al and Gaye Forbes of Ocean Park Fine Meats. Their ground beef has been the foundation of winning burgers entered by local restaurants for two years in a row in the Best Burger in Town contest! In chatting with a few local business owners and residents, I was saddened to hear vandalism along with crime continues to be a growing problem in Ocean Park. Broken windows, smashed bus stops and plants ripped out of planters and smeared on store windows is one thing. We’re now seeing gas being siphoned, electrical wires being cut and more fires being started. The general feeling is we all need to step up and take some responsibility for the well-being of our community. Increased expenses in repairing vandal damage leaves less money for businesses to contribute to community events and specialty items like street banners. Non life-threatening situations can still be reported to 604-599-0502. Police presence is based on statistics; the more instances we report, the more help we’ll get. One group that is stepping up to contribute to their part of the community is Ocean Park Neighbors. Speeding along the corner of Marine Drive and 128th Street as well as vehicle noise has always been a problem. Now that Kwomais Point Park has opened with increased pedestrian traffic in the area, this group wants to work with the City of Surrey to promote safety for residents. Go to Facebook or email oceanparkneighbors@hotmail.com for more information. The next meeting of the Ocean Park Business Association will be at the Community Hall, 1577 – 128th Street, South Surrey on Thursday, September 9, 2010 from 12 noon until 1:15 pm. Light lunch is available for $6. Everyone is welcome to attend and network with local merchants and business owners. See you there!

P
erhaps no time of year is as bittersweet for parents as the backto-school season. Gone are the relaxing days of summer, but back are the days when kids get excited about school and the extracurricular activities that come with it. As bittersweet as back to school can be, one aspect few parents enjoy is the annual school supply shopping trip. Students of all ages must purchase school supplies each year, and parents with more than one child in school might cringe at the costs of such supplies. To help savvy parents prepare their kids to start the school year on the right foot, we’ve spoken with a few Peninsula retailers to round up some walletfriendly tips to keep in mind before you hit the stores: Q Take inventory. Most parents remember the last day of school growing up, when pens, papers and notebooks were set aside for the summer the moment the final bell
rang. However, unless kids threw everything in the trash on their way out of school, chances are many of their supplies from last year are still lying around the house. While last year’s notebooks may not be reusable, locate pens, rulers and other supplies that are in good shape, and take inventory of what you can reuse and what new items should be purchased. Selling affordable school supplies in bulk or individually, Deals World in White Rock gives parents the option to purchase entirely new supplies or supplement their children’s school supplies, purchasing only the materials they need to start the school year. Whether you’re heading back to school or just back to work, you’ll want to make sure your printer is stocked with fresh ink and toner for all of those reports and essays. Fortunatly you don’t have to break the bank for replacement printer cartridges. For about half of what it costs to buy new, see page 19

Kids are typically as mesmerized by the school supply aisle as they are when they visit a toy store, so parents should make a list before heading out and stick to that list to avoid overspending. Once that list has been made, parents should choose a store that allows them to get school shopping done in one fell swoop.

WATER ADVISORY UPDATE
The City of White Rock urges you to continue boiling water until the safety advisory is lifted. Water is regulated by the Province of B.C. Thanks to their standards and procedures, the Fraser Health Authority issued the Boil Water Advisory. The water is supplied to those within White Rock (and a few others in South Surrey) through a company called Epcor. Epcor states that E. Coli from pigeon droppings appears to have gotten into the small water reservoir on Merklin Street. Since the moment the boil advisory was issued, the City has been providing constant updates to citizens through information posted at City facilities, the media and our website as well as directing residents to Epcor‘s website and information line. The City has a team that is constantly obtaining progress reports from the Fraser Health Authority and Epcor.

Rams’ win streak halted on home turf Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Big Kahuna Rams’ threegame winning streak came to an abrupt and decisive end on the weekend – and at the hands of an familiar foe, to boot. The Rams’ B.C. Football Conference record fell to 3-3 with a 40-8 loss to the defending champion Vancouver Island Raiders, Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Turnovers hurt the Rams in the first half. After holding the visitors to only a field goal in the first half, the Rams coughed up a pair of turnovers in the final five minutes of the first half, which led to a pair of late Raider touchdowns. After Vancouver Island quarterback Jordan Yantz broke a 3-3 tie with a four-yard TD strike to Whit-
man Tomusiak, the Rams got the ball back, but quarterback Nathaniel White had his pass picked off at his team’s 20-yard line. On the ensuing Raiders’ drive, Yantz found Andrew Smith in the end zone to put the Raiders up 17-3. Two minutes before halftime, Rams’ punt returner Sean O’Neill misplayed a punt and the Raiders bounced on the loose ball to retain possession at the Big Kahuna 29-yard line. Three plays later, Raiders running back Jordan Botel crashed across the line to extend the lead to 24-3. The Raiders carried the offensive momentum into the second half, with Yantz throwing for two more majors. Big Kahuna’s only points came on two field goals from Kicker Nick Boyd, as well as a conceded safety

Nick Downey was limited to just 58 all-purpose yards Saturday. given up by the Raiders in the third quarter. Yantz finished with 364 passing yards and four TDs, but also threw three interceptions – which were picked off by Rams’ Nick Felicella, Belah Small and Michael Mawusi, who returned his interception 45 yards. “We didn’t run the ball too effec-
tively early in the game but we gave Jordan Yantz the time to throw the football and he was good,” said Raiders head coach Matthew “Snoop” Blokker. Big Kahuna quarterbacks did not fare well against the Vancouver Island defence. White connected on just three of 15 passes, with two interceptions, while backup Taylor Potkins was just 2-for-8 for 22 yards and one interception. “It was our best game by our defensive backs; I really thought all five guys played outstanding yesterday,” Blokker said. “Defensively... we played a great game.” Special teams whiz Nick Downey led the Rams’ receivers with one reception for 43 yards, but was limited to zero punt-return yardage and just 15 yards on one kick return.
Despite his one costly fumble, O’Neill had a decent day returning the football; he chalked up 72 yards on two kick returns and had one 20-yard punt return, as well. White was the team’s leading rusher, with one 60-yard scamper, while O’Neill had 55 yards on six carries. The Rams have lost both games against the 5-1 Raiders this season; they lost the season-opener 37-13 in Nanaimo. The Raiders also got the best of the South Surrey squad in last year’s BCFC final. Heading into Saturday’s tilt, the Rams had won three games in a row, after beginning the season 0-2. The team has a bye week this weekend, and returns to action Sept. 11 in Kamloops, where they’ll battle the 2-4 Broncos. - with files from Greg Sakaki

Eagles win one of three Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter
The Surrey Eagles finally got the chance to face off against somebody other than themselves last weekend, hitting the ice for three exhibition games after a week of training camp drills and scrimmages. On Friday, the Eagles defeated the Langley Chiefs 3-1 at South Surrey Arena, but lost the rematch Saturday, falling 1-0 to the Chiefs at the Langley Events Centre. On Sunday in Coquitlam, the Eagles fell 1-2 in pre-season action with a 4-2 loss to the Coquitlam Express. Despite the losses, Eagles’ first-year head coach Matt Erhart was pleased with the weekend’s slate of games. “You always want to win every game you play, no matter what, but it’s exhibition, so the most important thing is that you can evaluate your players,”
he said. “It was nice to see the guys out there in a game against guys they don’t know, and haven’t been practicing with all week.” The Eagles opened camp a week ago with 52 players, and Erhart said the training camp roster is down to 30 players now, with more cuts to come after the team’s fourth and final exhibition game tonight (Wednesday) at South Surrey Arena. “I’m trying not to single guys out quite yet, because some have played only one game, other guys have played two, but there are always a couple surprises at camp, even if it’s just returning players coming back in great shape after working hard all summer,” Erhart said. The Eagles’ regular season-opener is Friday, Sept. 10 at South Surrey Arena against Langley.

Ping expands line to appeal to all golfers I
t’s always a thrill to get your hands on a new set of clubs, especially when they come from Ping. The golf gear manufacturer recently launched the expansion of its awardwinning product line for men and women. The new introductions include the K15 Series, Faith Ladies Series, S56 irons, Anser irons, Tour-S wedges, EYE2 XG wedges and Scottsdale Series putters – product that golfers will soon be able ble to find at the Riverside Golf Centre pro shop on 3590 King George Blvd. Recently remodeled, the pro shop has a great new look and the newly energized staff are working harder than ever to help you with all your golfing needs. “We are all pretty excited about this launch,” said Ken Poirier, general manager of Riverside. “Two of the new products already have a major championship linked to the names.” Ping pro Louis Oosthuizen played the new S56 irons and Tour-S Rustique wedges during his dominating performance at the British Open. Both products were added to his bag leading up to the year’s third major. “We couldn’t have dreamed of a better story leading up to this product introduction,” said John Solheim, Ping chairman and CEO, who attended the Open Championship at St. Andrews. Solheim, who leads the company’s
Golf & Dine Specials
product develpoment efforts as vice president of engineering, believes the addition of the K15 Series to the company’s market-leading G and i families will help golfers better determine the technology best suited for their games. “Our current line is ideally segmented to appeal to every level of golfer,” he said. “The new K Series appeals to golfers who simply want to hit the ball straighter. The Straight Flight Technology concept is centered on equipment that brings golf shots back on line and back in play. The added benefit for many of those golfers is that a straighter ball flight goes farther as well. With the combination of the K15’s technology and custom fitting, golfers will be finding their ball in the fairway and on the green much more often.” And if your game could benefit from some expert advice, private lessons from CPGA professional Dave Esplan are available by appointment – see in store for details on lessons. New to golf? Riverside has a number of great beginner packages – including woods, irons, putter and golf bag – starting from under $100. Group lessons are also available, especially beneficial for learning the fundamentals of the golf swing, which can make or break one’s game.

VW repositions Jetta and drops the price to woo compact sedan buyers By Jim Robinson Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine.
SAN FRANCISCO: Volkswagen Canada will reposition the Jetta below the Golf and significantly lower its price in order to make its move to the top of the compact sedan segment. The starting cost of the base 2011 Jetta will be $15,875 when it arrives in Canadian VW showrooms at the end of September. While the Golf has historically been VW’s entry-level car, it is now being positioned as the sporty, but still inexpensive, Volkswagen with the choice of body styles ranging up to the powerful GTI hot hatch. The Jetta will only be available as a four-door sedan, VW Canada says the new price should lead to an anticipated 24,000 sales in the coming year, up from 19,000 last year, while boosting Golf sales at the same time. Volkswagen is currently considered either the first or second largest car company on the planet and has long seen North America as being the fiscal nut they have to crack. In fact, VW Canada president, John White, told the Canadian press introduction in Los Angeles that the 2011 Jetta is viewed as the most important North American launch since the New Beetle in 1998 and is the cornerstone of the German automaker’s strategic plan until 2018. Noticeably larger than the current model, there will be a choice of three engines and a raft of trim levels. The base 2.0-litre, four-cylinder produces 115 hp and 125 lb/ft of torque with a standard five-speed manual or optional ($1,400) six-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. It accelerates from 0-100 km in 10.1 seconds for the manual and 11.3 seconds for the automatic with a top speed of 195 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 9.1/6.0L/100 km city/highway for the manual and 9.6/6.9L/100 km for the automatic. Next up is a 2.5-litre, five-cylinder with 170 hp and 177 lb/ft of torque with the same five-speed manual and the six-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive. Acceleration times from 0-100 km/h are 8.5 seconds in the manual, 8.8 seconds in the auto and a top speed of 209 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 9.9/6.2L/100 km city/highway for the manual and 9.1/6.5L/100 km for the automatic. The third engine choice is a 2.0-litre turbo direct injection (TDI) four-cylinder diesel that makes 140 hp and a meaningful 236 lb/ft of torque as low as 1,750 rpm. A six-speed manual is standard with an optional six-speed automatic but with the lightening-fast shift dual clutch with Tiptronic paddle shifters. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h, thanks to the torque, is 9.0 seconds in either the manual or automatic. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.7/4.6L/100 km with either transmission.
In the real world that means you can go for a drive better than 1,000 km on a single tank. While the Golf and Jetta retain coil springs over MacPherson struts and stabilizer bars at the front, the Jetta loses the independent rear suspension for a torsion bar at the rear. This is lot cheaper and one of the areas which allowed VW to lower the overall cost of the Jetta. All 2011 Jettas, including the base model, come standard with electronic stability control with traction control, brake assist and antilock brakes. The 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre make do with drum brakes while the high trim gasoline versions and both diesel models are equipped with rear discs. I mentioned there are several ways to order a Jetta so the best bet is to go to HYPERLINK "http://www.Volkswagen.ca" www.Volkswagen.ca for detailed pricing. However, cost of the 2.0-litre starts at $15,875 to $17,275 (that includes air conditioning) and lastly to $19,075 with gobs of features like alloy wheels, cruise and heated front seats and washer nozzles. The 2.5-litre starts at $21,175 to $23,980 for the “Highline” that is loaded with premium sound system, power sunroof and Bluetooth connectivity. The diesel comes in two versions starting off at $23,875 climbing to $26,655 for the Highline. There aren’t a lot of options but one that stands out is the infotainment system with satellite navigation and the simplest to use I’ve yet come across. Viewable in either 2D or bird’s eye view, as you approach the next turn or intersection, it automatically zooms in for a better view, and along with the voice prompts, makes it nearly impossible to miss your turn. But the really cool part is a projection of the speed limit as an icon. Several times, my usual co-driver and I saw the speed limit change on the monitor and slowed down. And it’s a good thing because the ever-present California Highway Patrol was lurking just inside town limits ready to pounce, but our trusty navi system saved us more than once. VW did not have a diesel or 2.0-litre for testing but there were plenty of 2.5-litre cars available with both transmissions. Like others in the compact segment, the 2011 Jetta is big enough to have been considered a mid-size sedan only five years ago. With a wheelbase of 2,651 mm, there is easily room for five adults and their luggage. In fact there were four of us in the car driving to the airport with plenty of legroom fore and aft. We could have put bags for five or six in the 433-litre trunk with room to spare. Even with four up, ride and handling were essentially the same as with two on board. Volkswagen had always got the suspension and steering of their cars right and the 2011 Jetta is no exception. It may have a bargain basement price but it doesn’t drive like one. Over a variety of roads, including one super twisty bit (that
Volkswagen’s 2011 Jetta sedan is not only bigger and faster but also more fuel-efficient than the previous model. And it’s starting price will be $6,000 less as VW re-positions the popular sedan as its entry-level model below the Golf. Anyone who has ever driven a Volkswagen will feel right at home in the 2011 Jetta. Even with a starting price of $15,875 the choice of materials feels and looks upmarket. gave me a touch of motion sickness such was the road holding) the Jetta felt right and went exactly where you told it to go. I rode in the back for the while, and while commodious, the amount of rear seat road rumble was louder on rough stretches of pavement. It’s sort of like being in a big room with no furniture where sound is magnified. I heard none of this when riding in the front. Even with the drum brakes, stopping was straight and without drama thanks to stability control and ABS. VW is going up against some pretty big players in the compact arena like Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra just to name few. At the same time VW has a lot of equity in the Jetta name. I know one woman who loves her model so much, she named her daughter after her car. It’s going to take people a while to get used to the idea, but VW has spent a lot of time looking at North American buying habits and has concluded this is the way to go. More to the point, the 2011 Jetta is now the lowest priced German sedan on the Canadian market and that’s bound to attract a lot of interest.
