Salmon run to be biggest since 1913

Most sockeye in nearly a century

by Jeff Nagel FRASER RIVER sockeye salmon are

If the industry consolidates at a single Metro Vancouver track, the outcome amounts to a double-or-nothing bet for Cloverdale – where several hundred jobs hang in the balance – as well as for horse-related businesses in Surrey and Langley.

Such a move would eliminate the lease payment to either the City of Surrey or Vancouver for the track that closes.

It would also pool all the betters and support staff in one location, end the duplication of marketing and other expenses, and bring other economies of scale.

A spokesperson for Rich Coleman, the minister responsible for gaming, confirmed Tuesday consolidation of both racing

returning in record numbers not seen for nearly a century.

The Pacific Salmon Commission dramatically upgraded its estimate of the incoming run Tuesday, pegging the total number of Fraser-bound sockeye as high as 25 million – more than double the pre-season forecast of 11 million.

That makes it the largest sockeye run since 1913, surpassing 1993’s 23.5 million return.

This is the first time in four years commercial fishermen Barry have been allowed to Rosenberger catch Fraser sockeye.

Disturbingly low returns of fewer than two million sockeye in each of the last two years prompted the federal government last year to appoint a judicial inquiry to probe the decline.

At its Tuesday meeting, the salmon commission estimated laterun sockeye will number a huge 17.2 million, dramatically driving up the total run size.

Drivers who now race standardbred racehorses at Cloverdale’s Fraser Downs track and jockeys who ride thoroughbreds at Vancouver’s Hastings Park could both end up at the same facility.

Great Canadian: ‘Committed to both’ racetracks

From page 1

styles at a single dual-purpose track is one of the options being weighed by a governmentappointed management committee charged with finding solutions to stabilize racing.

But Howard Blank, vice-president of media and entertainment for Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which owns both Fraser Downs and Hastings Park, denied the company is pursuing consolidation.

“We don’t have that scenario in play,” he said. “We are committed to both. This is not the closing of one and consolidating.”

The company wouldn’t have spent millions renovating both sites in recent years if that was the plan, he said.

Blank also hotly denied backstretch speculation Great Canadian is laying the

groundwork for an end to harness racing in B.C. The company this month announced it’s slashing more than a third of the race days at Fraser Downs this fall and temporarily cancelling the 2011 race slate pending further decisions. The move stoked fears the end is near.

“It’s not true,” Blank said. “We will announce our racing schedule for the winter and spring at Fraser Downs very quickly. We will be racing.”

The key difference, he said, is the two tracks won’t run racing seasons that overlap and eat into each other’s take.

Fully enclosed Fraser Downs will race in the colder months from fall through spring, leaving Hastings Park – which has outdoor

bleachers – to take over through the summer.

Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bill Reid said he believes an industry consolidation at a single track is very much in the cards.

And although there’s pressure in Vancouver for more parkland in the vicinity of Hastings Park, he expects a concerted battle from forces who want the Vancouver track and not Cloverdale to emerge the survivor.

“It will take some lobbying,” said Reid, a former Social Credit government minister.

He argues several factors weigh in favour of Fraser Downs.

It would cost much more to renovate Hastings to accommodate standardbreds than to modify Cloverdale for thoroughbreds, he said. Thoroughbreds at Hastings

race a full mile compared to the 5/8 mile harness racing course at Fraser Downs.

Lower land values in Surrey relative to Vancouver are also a factor, as is the ease of parking.

Horses are already based in Surrey and Langley, he noted, so carting them back and forth to Vancouver daily would make much less sense.

“We have the community for it,” he said.

“Vancouver doesn’t.”

Reid said the “super casino” the government plans to build at GM Place stadium will drain gamblers from Hastings Park.

“It won’t be viable for a casino at any size to be anywhere within that range,” he predicted.

Steve Fonyo’s life as a reality show? What will THE ONGOING tragicomedy that is the life of

Steve Fonyo is at times difficult to watch.

The colourful Fonyo and his fiancée Lisa Greenwood have been in the spotlight for the “good news” story of their on-again off-again wedding. Some great folks in Victoria are trying to help the befallen hero, who was a 21-year-old amputee when he followed up the great Terry Fox with his own run across Canada 25 years ago to raise money and awareness for cancer.

But this “feel good” news has been shattered with allegations of criminal wrongdoings by both Greenwood and Fonyo.

In what can only be described as a kind of cruel fate for the lovebirds, both Fonyo and Greenwood

have been in and out of jail, which has kept their nuptials in an ongoing limbo.

While his Order of Canada may have been stripped, Fonyo retains the Variety International Humanitarian Award, which is annually bestowed on someone who has shown “unusual understanding, empathy and devotion to mankind.” He has great company for this honour, which he shares with the likes of Sir Winston Churchill, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Buzz Aldrin, Sir Edmund Hillary and legendary comedian/ entertainer Bob Hope.

So after months of seeing their lives spiral out of control, always delaying their inevitable marriage, I have one question for the couple:

Why have you not retained a talent agent or a producer and put your lives on a television reality show? You are wasting a great opportunity.

Now that an unidentified benefactor has posted Fonyo’s $20,000 bail, the Aug. 28 wedding is back on. But Fonyo shouldn’t go through with it until he has set up a reality show deal.

He has to get this on tape for the show. It could be the conclusion of Season One. R. Paul Dhillon Blueberry Street Films director@blueberrystreetfilms.com

Transit passes a necessary perk CANADIAN TAXPAYERS Federation

spokesperson Maureen Bader states that the free transit passes for staff and retirees is “out of line” and is “evidence of TransLink’s misplaced priorities.”

As the spouse of a Coast Mountain Bus driver, I’d like to share some information that Ms. Bader would have learned had she done some homework regarding bus drivers before making her comments.

Many people are not aware of the fact that most bus drivers have to work a “split shift.” This means that their hours are split into two pieces, resulting in a “layover” of three hours – on average. If they live within a reasonable distance to the depot, they usually return home and then go back to the depot for the second shift.

This layover is off-duty and as a result, their typical day is stretched over 12-14 hours (only paid for 7.5 hours). One can see that if they drive their own vehicles, they rack up a lot of miles and spend a lot more on gas than a typical employee who only drives to and from their workplace in a day.

Another type of shift involves the driver having to pick up his assigned bus somewhere on route. This means the driver has to either a) drive to the depot and take transit to the pick-up point, or, b) take transit to and from the pick-up point. The first scenario may also require the driver take transit back to the depot at the end of the shift.

Having the taxable benefit of

A letter writer states that transit drivers often need to commute four times daily to work their split shifts, and that it makes sense for them to get ‘free’ rides on the way to work. a “free” pass allows the drivers to have a choice about whether or not they want the extra wear and tear on their private vehicle in addition to the extra gas cost. It also allows them to get to and from their bus (if picking it up on route), which is considered travel time.

In the case of the drivers, the

“free” ride must be considered part of their job or no one would sign up for it. Whether public or private, a company has to provide perks as a way of attracting and keeping employees – especially with the younger generations entering the workforce now.

As for the other TransLink

employees and one pass per family causing the “huge concessions forced onto taxpayers and transit riders,” I think the total amount would pale in comparison to the amount lost through fare evasion on the SkyTrain system.

An angry taxpayer’s view of the migrants

I NORMALLY DON’T email about this sort of

thing but I do have to ask... when is this going to stop?

We work and work to keep up with inflation and pay our due taxes, only to have so-called refugees come into this country illegally and cost the taxpayers $100,000-plus to take care of them.

How is this fair?

Not to mention that it is possible that some of these migrants could be terrorists.

The report said there were a lot of children, but we know that, in foreign countries, children can be as vicious and ruthless as their adult counterparts as they are trained from early childhood to use a gun and to kill.

Many countries would put them back on a plane and return them to their country of ori-

gin, so why does Canada welcome these people with open arms and put them through the system at an exorbitant cost to the taxpayer?

If they fear prosecution, perhaps it’s because they are criminals in their own right and deserve to be punished.

What happened to security? After 9/11, it was so tight we couldn’t even take a bottle of water on a plane, and now suspected terrorists just cruise into this country and we take them in willingly.

It is a known fact that many “disappear” while awaiting the immigration process.

Do we not owe it to our neighbour to the south to be diligent in upholding strict security?

Don’t we have enough internal problems with those “refugees” we have already let into this county to be letting more in?

If our system processes one refugee at a time, perhaps it’s time to look at this and pass a new law whereby group illegal entry is an automatic return to their own country. That would certainly not cost the Canadian taxpayers $100,000 per person.

If we allow this shipful to stay, how many more will we have to contend with and what will it lead to?

Let’s get real here and look after our own people first. We have people on waiting lists for medical attention but we are going to look after these migrants now free of charge. Ridiculous.

What happened to being sponsored and being medically fit to come into the country?

I am one angry taxpayer.

power electric cars?

IT WAS NOT MORE than two or three years ago that the media WAS filled with stories about the coming age of electric vehicles.

Scores of reports at the time spoke of designs for electric vehicles sitting on drawing boards and of early prototypes undergoing testing in the lab as technical hurdles were being overcome.

Fast forward to the present and it seems what were once electric dreams are now showing up in communities everywhere for real world road testing.

This is veryy good news because it’s a sign that production models can’t be far behind.

The question I have, though, is where all the electricity to power these electric vehicles is going to come from?

All of the electricity produced in this province is currently spoken for and we are reportedly importing a fair amount of electricity to fill the gap between production and demand.

When a couple hundred thousand electric vehicles hit the streets of British Columbia’s urban areas, will we be ready with a suitable supply of clean, non-emitting electricity or will we be caught off guard and find ourselves having to import even more coal-fired electricity from outside this province to keep these clean electric vehicles running?

If the transition to electric vehicles in this province is going to be successful, we need to make certain we have the clean electricity needed to power this revolution.

If we don’t, we will be defeating the whole purpose of having electric vehicles and perpetuating our dependence on fossil fuels instead of finally getting ahead of the game.

a Maple Ridge gas station attendant to his death five years ago is going back to prison.

Darnell Darcy Pratt had his statutory release revoked Tuesday following a hearing in front of the National Parole Board at Matsqui Institution in Abbotsford where he is currently being held.

“That makes it impossible to manage your risk [to the community].”

Pratt was granted statutory release June 16 and ordered to live in a Kamloops halfway house.

The 21-year-old reported to the residence and met his 8 p.m. curfew, but failed to return the next day.

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest and Kamloops RCMP found Pratt on June 19, walking along a Kamloops street.

The parole board heard that Pratt went to a pub twice while on the lam and was found with a powdery substance, believed to be heroin, when he was arrested.

He told his community parole officer he intended to go to the Lower Mainland.

Surrey driver charged Tries to escape police roadblock, drives into building Black Press

A 22-YEAR-OLD Surrey man trying to evade a police CounterAttack roadblock nearly hit one officer before smashing his truck through a fence and into an apartment building in Langley City on Saturday morning.

Around 2 a.m., Langley RCMP’s traffic section was working in the 5600 block of 201A Street when a westbound white Ford truck turned south on

have his say “in some respect.”

There was no one from Pratt’s family at the Tuesday hearing.

Doug De Patie, Grant’s father, believes Pratt got what he deserved: another stint back inside prison.

“My hopes for Darnell were that he turn over a new leaf and come out and comply with his conditions,” said De Patie, a Surrey resident who read a victim impact statement on behalf of his family.

“Grant gave his life to stop Darnell and really, he threw it back in Grant’s face.”

Originally charged with second-degree murder, Pratt pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced in May 2006 as an adult to nine years minus time served, for a total of seven years and three months in prison.

In April 2007, the B.C. Court of Appeal reduced the nine-year sentence to seven years, making the sentence, after credit for time served, five years and 10 months.

In 2008, four more months were added to his sentence after he pleaded guilty to assaulting another inmate while in custody.

His sentence ends on 12 July 2012 but Pratt will be eligible for mandatory statutory release in November 2011.

201A Street.

The officers doing the road-side stops were wearing their fluorescent yellow jackets and carrying flashlights and had orange cones out, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

They signalled for the truck to stop but instead, the driver accelerated, crossing over the centre line and driving directly towards one of the officers, said Marks.

“The officer was able to jump to

safety,” she said.

One of the officers quickly got in a police vehicle and watched the truck drive through a red light at 201A and 56 Avenue before accelerating through to Michaud Crescent.

The officer followed behind with his emergency lights on when the truck drove through a large fence and crashed into the corner of the apartment near 201A Street and Michaud Crescent.

No one in the apartment was injured.

The truck also struck a lamp post exposing some live electrical wires that required Cobra Electric staff to come out.

The driver was immediately arrested. He had two passengers in the truck with him.

Police will recommend charges of assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and impaired driving.

surprise, the Surrey radio station said.

The famous musician from Pakistan was in B.C. on a concert tour when he learned ReDFM was going to raise money to assist flood victims in his home country and decided to help.

Ali is one of the biggest names in the music of the South Asian sub-continent, known for his singing in the classic ghazal style that features lyrics about tragic, unrequited love.

The singer paid the radio station a visit to go on-air where he personally urged listeners to contribute.

“This natural disaster that has struck Pakistan is beyond anyone’s imagination,” Ali said.

“This is a difficult time for the people of Pakistan and I am glad and touched that people sitting here are thinking of victims in Pakistan and trying to help them.”

Listeners pledged more than $170,000.

ReD-FM president Kulwinder Sanghera called the response “overwhelming.”

“I am surprised at how each and every time the community rises to the occasion,” Sanghera said.

He said the fundraiser was prompted by news of a lack of donations for the millions affected by the Pakistani flood.

Heavy monsoon rains in July triggered flooding of more than 160,000 square kilometres of Pakistan that has so far killed 2,000 people and left more than 20 million homeless.

Around a fifth of Pakistan’s total land area was left under water.

The federal government announced on Aug. 22 that it will match, dollar-fordollar, donations for flood relief made by Canadians to registered charities between Aug. 2 and Sept. 12.

Said Bishop, “They find themselves a nation surrounded by another nation and I think it behooves us to work in a

positive way with them to our mutual benefit.”

The Corporation of Delta has developed a Climate Change Initiative, and candidates were asked how council could make Delta a greener place to live.

Bishop said she supports offering incentives

to encourage green building developments, as well as zero waste management goals.

DeVries said residents need to divert more waste from landfills, and Delta can encourage this by offering accessible dropoff centres for different types of recyclables.

Pandher said the best thing Delta can do is to learn from current leaders in urban sustainability. He added Delta needs to fight to protect its environmental assets such as Burns Bog. Paton, a longtime farmer, said, “Let’s keep farming.”

Higgins said subdividing larger lots in Delta into three smaller lots, a principle focus of her platform, would solve a number of the issues facing the municipality, such as protecting farmland and creating more afford-

able housing.

MRI scanner arrives Better patient comfort at Surrey’s outpatient hospital

by Jeff Nagel SURREY WILL be home

to an advanced new MRI scanner designed with obese or claustrophobic patients in mind.

The new Optima MR450w system arrived at the Surrey Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre last week ahead of the opening of the new day surgery and diagnostics satellite hospital next June.

The new $2-million scanner has an opening 15 per cent wider than average and promises a more comfortable experience for larger patients or those who don’t like feeling closed in.

It’s the first such unit in Fraser Health and the only similar system in the Lower Mainland is at Richmond General Hospital.

“Patients may have a quicker scanning experience with this new MRI,” said Marc Pelletier, Fraser Health vice-president of clinical operations.

“With the larger field

The new Optima MR450w system arrived at the Surrey Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre on Aug. 18. of view we are able to scan more anatomy with fewer scans compared to previous systems. We may even be able to see more patients in a given shift as a result of shorter scanning sessions.”

Last Wednesday, a crane cautiously hoisted the magnet for the

scanner up the side of the new $239-million outpatient centre, which is located at the southwest corner of Green Timbers Park.

Officials say the unit is an upgrade from the centre’s original plans, made possible at no additional cost to the government by sup-

plier by GE Healthcare and the private-public partnership building the project.

MRI scans use magnetic and radio frequency fields to give doctors a view of the tissue structure of the internal anatomy without exploratory surgery.

Hospital to electronically monitor dementia patients

by Christine Lyon DELTA Hospital is pre-

paring to install a new electronic system next week that will help keep patients with dementia safe.

The WanderGuard system, made possible by an $8,000 donation from the Ladner Rotary Club, will allow caregivers to keep track of patients who stray too far from their rooms.

“It is another way of allowing for ambulation, yet keeping them monitored,” said Bev Matushewski, manager of acute health services.

Patients identified as wanderers will wear a bracelet embedded with an electronic chip. If the patient crosses a certain boundary, an alarm or flashing light will alert caregivers.

Currently, the medical ward has stop signs at common doors that lead to the elevators.

“We need to keep that open for incoming visitors, for portering downstairs,” said Matushewski. “But when our patients see others go through, they follow.”

If a security guard notices a patient looking confused and disoriented, he or she has to call around the hospital to determine where that patient belongs.

Matushewski says the number of patients with dementia is increasing.

“People are living longer – that’s certainly the good news. The complication with that is the (medical problems) that exist,” she said.

“When we take people out of their home environment and bring them into acute care, we’re altering their ‘normal’ and so we need to keep them as safe as possible while they’re in our care.”

In addition to WanderGuard, the hospital is also undergoing some changes to become a more elder-friendly environment.

Those changes include clear signage, better lighting and unobstructed hallways.

It may seem like common sense, said Matushewski, but the hospital is making an effort to be aware of hazards people inadvertently create without recognizing the harm it can do to those who are in a new and different environment.

The Ladner Rotary

Club has strong ties to the hospital and has previously provided funds to create the family room, serenity garden, surgical daycare, and acquire equipment for residential care and

endoscopy.

“We’ve always supported the hospital.

We’ve given them over $60,000,” said past-president Lynn Cameron.

She says the group will continue to help

15

the hospital, but is now focusing on a project with Reach Child and Youth Development Society.

The club meets weekly at the Town and Country Inn.

Road projects fingered for demise of farmland Report probes land conversions south of the Fraser

by Jeff Nagel GOVERNMENT road builders

have paved over far more farmland than private developers in the Surrey-Delta-Langley area over the past decade, according to a new study.

More than 70 per cent of the 264 hectares of land removed from farm use

over the past 10 years were for provincial government transportation projects, concluded author Nathan Pachal, co-founder of the transit advocacy group South Fraser On Trax.

The South Fraser Perimeter Road, which is eating up 90 hectares in Surrey and Delta, is the project that has caused

the single biggest reduction in farmland in the South of Fraser area over the past 10 years.

Others include the expansion of Highways 10 and 15 in Surrey and the Deltaport expansion. Almost two-thirds of the farmland removals were in Delta.

The statistics include formal exclusions of land from

the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) as well as other dedication of farmland.

The South of Fraser area accounts for three quarters of all ALR land in Metro Vancouver, with the primary crops including vegetables, berries, greenhouse produce and ornamental plants. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Call for nude beach Lack of clothingoptional beaches a human rights issue, man says Black Press A CRESCENT Beach

man’s campaign for designated nude public areas continued this week with an appeal for help promoting a need for clothing-optional beaches.

In a statement sent to local MLAs, Surrey council members and media, former provincial Green party candidate Don Pitcairn says an upcoming 40th anniversary of a protest that led to Wreck Beach’s official formation in Vancouver is a fitting time to question when such a designation will be made in Surrey.

The lack of official clothing-optional beaches in Surrey is a human rights issue, Pitcairn notes, citing “a long history of intolerance” in the city.

To raise awareness, Pitcairn is encouraging members of his group, Surrey’s United Naturists, and others to show their support at two sites – a strip south of Crescent Beach and a section of Barnston Island on the Fraser River.

Canada Line celebrates one year New rapid transit link tops 100,000 passengers a day two years early

by Jeff Nagel ONE YEAR after its

opening and 36 million passengers later, the $2-billion Canada Line has proven to be a popular transportation option, carrying far more people than expected by this point.

The rapid-transit link between Vancouver, Richmond and the airport now transports 107,000 riders on a typical weekday, and averages 100,000 daily trips, even counting weekends.

“We’ve hit that 100,000 rides per day about two years ahead of schedule,” said TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie.

He said the Canada Line is also spurring increased use of the rest of the Metro Vancouver transit system, because more people now take SkyTrain, the SeaBus or transit buses to connect to the Canada Line.

“The ripple effect has been not bad.”

The new 19-kilometre line was key to TransLink’s gold medal people-moving performance during the Olympics.

“The Olympics created a situation where people needed

another way to get into downtown Vancouver and voila, there was the Canada Line, along with the supporting transit lines from South Surrey, White Rock and Delta,” Hardie said.

The record for moving people came during the 2010 Winter Games on Feb. 19, when 287,379 passengers were counted.

Ridership stats since then show transit use has been higher post-Olympics relative to the months before, suggesting thousands of transit-averse residents have been converted, partly thanks to the shiny new train line.

TransLink passenger surveys show 51 per cent of Canada Line users are using the new SkyTrain line to make the same journey they used to take by bus.

Hardie said that suggests the rest – a huge number of passengers – either hadn’t been taking the trip at all before or had been taking it by car.

“We’ve indeed picked up new riders,” he said.

Every YVR-bound train carries luggagetoting passengers delighting in no longer having to drive and park at the airport or

take a taxi.

But prior to the August 2009 launch, there was trepidation

about the new line.

Regular bus commuters to Vancouver from areas like South Surrey

and White Rock feared the loss of their relaxed one-seat no-transfer ride downtown.

Richmondites fretted the “crime train” would See TRAIN / Page 18

That’s less convenient for some riders, but Hardie argues it freed up large numbers of buses to boost service elsewhere.

Not only did the Vancouverbound buses bog down in heavy traffic the closer they got to downtown, they also deadheaded back empty in the reverse-peak direction.

The resulting reallocation of buses has allowed TransLink to boost service levels from the Semiahmoo Peninsula and South Delta by 38 per cent while using the same number of buses, Hardie said, adding service was also boosted on east-west routes through Vancouver.

Vancouver neighbourhoods braced for a wave of new development and densification.

More frequent buses connecting from the south has in turn made the Canada Line even more attractive to new riders, who often fly past jammed single-occupant cars on congested Highway 99 thanks to the extension of bus-only lanes on the corridor.

“The Canada Line trip to downtown is much faster, so now we’re moving more people more quickly and reliably,” TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said.

The line was not without detractors.

Businesses disrupted by the cut-and-cover construction along Cambie Street are still in court for compensation.

The Cloverdale club jumped at the opportunity to host the annual event, wanting to follow up on momentum created by the 2010 Olympic Games in February, in which Surrey was one of three venue cities in the Lower Mainland.

“Surrey shined during the Olympics, so we wanted to jump on board,” said Russell. “It will be good to have it in Surrey, the athletes who will be competing will be good role models for our younger curlers.”

An executive committee was finalized last week, tasked the role of co-ordinating all that needs to be done over the next five months. One priority will be recruiting 3-400 volunteers.

Keeping the spark in flamenco festival Annual event features students, guest performers and noted international talent

by Alex Browne

F

lamenco – the fiery dance and music form of southern Spain – has had a firm local foothold for almost a decade, thanks to Jill Tunbridge’s thriving Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Studio.

The evidence will be on display once again – over two evenings – in the ninth annual Flamenco del Mar Festival, Sept. 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd. True to Tunbridge’s approach, while the show will feature the performance of her own talented dance students – among them South Surrey’s Helen Fehrenberg and Langley’s Karla Woode – she will showcase them side by side with notables of the Canadian and international flamenco scene.

And Tunbridge always delights in throwing the unexpected into the mix – including, this year, guest vocalist Leanne Coleman, known more for her work in blues singing.

But Tunbridge said she finds her invitees add excitement to the festival, while blending the technique and experience of seasoned performers with the enthusiasm of her students helps create a powerful celebratory experience in which everyone is carried along in the sheer momentum of the form.

Two of this year’s guest performers qualify as Flamenco del Mar regulars – Spanish-born guitarist Juan Carreras (Juan de Marias) and Venezuelan-born cantaora (flamenco singer) Jafelin Heltin.

The third is Denise Canso, born in Manila in the Philippines, but raised in St. Catherines, Ont. Canso, a skilled athlete, fell in love with flamenco while working on her graduate thesis in public health care and epidemiology at UBC. “I was always athletic, growing up, but artistic at the same time,” she said. “I was exposed to sports and arts but never a mix of the two. But when I found flamenco, I finally found something in which I could express musicality, art, physicality, choreography and musical composition.

“It offers something for everyone, regardless of Jill Tunbridge age, or how you look, or how you move. It’s very accessible and inclusive and that’s what drew me to it.”

Taking a break from academics, she recently spent a year and a half in Andalusia experiencing the flamenco culture of Spain firsthand.

And she agrees with Tunbridge that, no matter how much exposure you’ve had to flamenco elsewhere, studying in Spain is “like starting over.”

“I was dancing six to eight hours every day,” Canso said. “One thing I learned was patience. The message that got driven home to me there, was that it takes a lot of work and repetition.

“It was very different – very eye-opening. I went in with no expectations and it blew me away with dimensions both inside flamenco and outside flamenco. I’d lived in Spain before, but before being involved in flamenco, so it was like going in with different eyes.”

It’s often been observed that, in Spain, people don’t so much dance flamenco as live it. But Canso said that, while that may have been particularly true in the past, flamenco is changing and adapting as Spanish artists come to terms with the explosion of interest in the form from outside the country.

“They’re catering to the foreigners more,” she said. “The majority of people learning flamenco there are foreigners. They’re having to adapt to what the market needs. It’s an exciting and dynamic time in

“The thing about flamenco is that is has to be natural.

You have to, literally, ‘dance as if nobody’s watching.’”

flamenco.”

Canso, who still counts herself as a relative newcomer to performing flamenco, said she appreciates being given opportunities such as the upcoming festival – and Tunbridge’s knack of bringing people together who share the same passion. When she worked with Carreras and Heltin this summer at the Toronto Flamenco Festival, it was a pleasant surprise to learn that all three would be re-united in White Rock.

“I really trust Jafelin and Juan, and we really work well together. I’m looking forward to working with them again – it’s awesome,” Canso said.

And there’s no reason, Tunbridge added, for anyone to feel intimidated in the close-knit world of flamenco, no matter how experienced or inexperienced they are.

“We’ve all been there, and we support each other. The thing about flamenco is that it has to be natural. You have to, literally, ‘dance as if nobody’s watching.’ We can all do it, but you need to put the mileage in.”

Tickets ($20) are available from Tunbridge, 604-542-2096, Coast Capital Playhouse, 604-536-7535, or Christopher’s Gift Gallery, 604535-1199.

Video wins man SUV

SOUTH SURREY resident John Banovich found himself with the keys to a brand new 2010 Toyota 4Runner after his short video was selected by Toyota Canada as the grand-prize winner of the company’s video contest.

Banovich’s video, which Toyota reps called “humourous and imaginative,” was selected from about 200 entries from across the country.

According tto a release, the contest wa was created by Toyota Toy so “Toyota truck t enthusiasts could share their passion, excitement and stories.”

Entrants were aske to submit a asked short video describing why they love trucks, or why they deserved to win.

To see Banovich’s winning entry – titled “Practicing driving the new 4Runner” – visit www.4runner.ca

Fair-hared young lady Surrey’s Raven Stierle, 14, poses with her Hotot Doe rabbit Charisma perched happily on her head at the Fair at the PNE. The annual summer fair, an end-ofsummer tradition for generations of British Columbians, features more than 700 shows, exhibits and attractions that are free with admission. The 2010 Fair at the PNE runs daily through Labour Day, Sept. 6.

Award for techie teacher

LEE FERRIER, a teacher at Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary school, is one of three B.C. teachers chosen as a winner in CDW Canada’s Teaching With Technology contest.

Ferrier told the story of how he was able to engage students with technology in a school that only had 45 computers for more than 1,600 students.

In his Grade 12 remedial English class, Ferrier used a class website and a wiki to transform a student from “the sleeping guy at the back of the room” into an active learner and peerteacher.

“That experience, and several others like it, have changed the way I teach,” Ferrier wrote in his submission. “Wikis and web pages are only two tools of many that are available: the figurative tip of the iceberg. I now not only provide students with the choice to demonstrate their learning through various technological means (from creating Facebook profiles for characters to digital storytelling), but encourage students to seek out new methods using the latest techno-tools.

“Whether students are filming video, recording audio, creating a mashup, or creating some other representation of their learning, an unfortunate common theme is evident – a distinct lack of hardware.”

Ferrier won a prize bundle valued at about $2,500.

A $38,000 McHappy Day for SMH

SEVENTY-ONE McDonald’s restaurants from throughout

A taste of Surrey City of Surrey’s Agricultural Advisory Committee joined Surrey residents to celebrate Surrey’s local culinary talent and agriculture at the third-annual Flavours of Surrey. The food-tasting feast, which took place at the Historic Stewart farm, offered an abundance of food made with Surrey-grown ingredients. This year, the event featured awardwinning local chef Marilyn Pearson of Cuisine & Company, Henry’s Barbeque and Marble Slab Creamery. Beer tasting was supplied by Big Ridge Brewing Company and wine tasting by Surrey’s only winery, River’s Bend Winery.

the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley combined to raise $38,367 for Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation during this year’s McHappy Day. The fundraising drive, with volunteers including political leaders, police officers, firefighters and paramedics, saw restaurants donate one dollar from every Big Mac sandwich, McMuffin sandwich and Happy Meal sold. Customers frequently added to the donation with their own personal contributions.

“McDonald’s enthusiasm for McHappy Day was matched by their customers,” said Foundation Chair Jacy Wingson.

“We even had one person pull up to the drive-through and hand a hundred dollar bill to a Foundation representative.”

The amount raised is part of McDonald’s pledge of $200,000 towards Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Emergency Centre Campaign. The gift will go towards pediatric emergency care.

Surrey Memorial Hospital’s current ER – the busiest in B.C. – was designed to handle about 44,000 visits a year but instead saw more than 87,000 patients last year. Of those patients, 20 per cent were children.

The new Emergency Centre will include a separate children’s ER, as well as a separate mental health and addictions section, an enhanced minor treatment unit, and an improved area for acute patients.

The children’s section will be bright and family-oriented and will include fully equipped nursing stations as well as a dedicated bed area. The Emergency Centre will be part of the Critical Care Tower project, with construction scheduled to begin in 2011.

Since McHappy Day was introduced in 1977, the national one-day fundraising event has raised nearly $32 million for RMHC, the Ronald McDonald House program and local children’s charities across Canada. In addition, McDonald’s donates 10 cents from every Happy Meal sold every day in Canada to RMHC which has raised more than $27 million to date. As a result of the continued McHappy Day success in Canada, it will now be celebrated annually worldwide – uniting McDonald’s restaurants around the world in support of children in need.

Established in 1992, Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has raised more than $50 million to purchase medical equipment, fund innovative programs, and support training and research.

were removed from Blackie Spit last week by volunteers with Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) and Surrey’s Natural Areas

The youth environmental programs hosted the Aug. 18 habitat restoration event – which was open to the public – to address common tansy, a plant that out-competes native vegetation and

reduces the diversity of food and shelter available to wildlife.

According to a release, tansy removal – which can be done by hand or mowing – is necessary to prevent colonization of natural habitats.

Ornamental grasses now mainstream IT’S AMAZING HOW just a few years

carex, acorus and fescues.

Miscanthus are medium to tall showpieces that make great focal points in mid-sized or large gardens. Their summer flowers not only add a fresh spark to hot, dry gardens, but they also continue through the winter. Tall varieties, like Miscanthus Giganteus, or as sometimes called Robustus (Zone 6), grow eight to 10 feet tall with long green leaves touched with a bit of silver. They make a great screen by mid-June, and their bronze flower tufts are truly magnificent.

One of the most sought after miscanthus, however, is Porcupine Grass (M. strictus – Zone 5). This six- to seven-foot-tall grass has gold bands along its leaves and a tall upright habit, making it especially elegant.

Another wonderfully elegant variety is M. Mysterious Maiden hich also has gold bands and a strong upright vase-shaped habit.

The white and green variegated Miscanthus sinensis Variegatus (Zone 6), although a little more tender, is still a great garden accent.

If it’s the “wow” factor you are looking for, then M. Cosmopolitan and M. Cabaret, with their wide leaves and brilliant white and green variegation, will create the dramatic look you are hoping to achieve.

They only bloom in long, warm fall weather, but in dark green perennial borders or in lawn areas with a great many trees around, they are the spark that can ignite a garden.

The most beautiful grass of all,

Alas, to survive our winters it must be lifted and brought inside to grow on, but it is the focal point of all focal points. Surrounded by anything pink, it is magnificence plus.

Among the hardy varieties, I like Pennisetum Hameln and Piglet because they bloom so early, are short and give you plumes now when you need them to enhance both your annual and perennial beds.

ago, ornamental grasses were a bit of a novelty on the West Coast. A few plants could be spotted here and there, usually in professionally designed landscapes or at the homes of gardeners who had a real passion for grasses. Now, they have become mainstream as folks realize their potential to lift summer and fall gardens to the next level.

Appreciation of ornamental grasses is not something you cultivate overnight. It takes a while to understand the nature of each variety of grass and to see what it looks like during every season of the year.

Most grasses, once established in a site they enjoy, are virtually carefree: a little watering in summer, a little protection in winter for the tender varieties and an annual pruning.

Many grasses, such as miscanthus, which really plumes up in late summer, literally shine when backlit by the warm golden sunlight so unique to fall. For many winters now, we’ve enjoyed evergreen grasses, such as carex and acorus caressing the edges of hanging baskets and containers. Today, there are fabulous grass selections that, by themselves, make containers spectacular. Grasses have so much to offer – they’re plants for all seasons. We just have to learn how to use them to add new life in so many areas of our gardens.

My five favourite grass families are the miscanthus, pennisetums,

Think globally, grow locally Antique Learn how to cultivate in your own backyard on Sept. 4 in Delta

by Philip Raphael THE SUNSHINE. The fertile soil.

Temperate conditions.

Delta has the ideal growing conditions for plants and all manner of crops.

But do enough locals take advantage of what they literally have right in their own backyards?

It’s a question Heather McGreer hopes will be answered when the Earthwise Society hosts its annual Grow Local Fair Sept. 4 (9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at the Earthwise Garden at 3rd Avenue and Boundary Bay Road.

McGreer, a graduate of South Delta Secondary and currently a student at the University of Victoria, is helping organize the event and is hoping the public takes the Earthwise Society’s invitation to learn more about what can work best on local soil.

Plus, it’s a chance to have some fun.

“It’s a community event, with family-friendly fundraising to celebrate our home gardeners and urban farmers and educate the community on sustainable farming practices,” says McGreer, 21.

“It’s pretty simple. We’re trying to send the message that it is much easier than people think

PHILIP RAPHAEL / BLACK PRESS

Tsawwassen resident and UVIC student Heather McGreer has used her interest in sustainability to help promote the Earthwise Society’s Grow Local Fair on Sept. 4, which encourages locals to get their gardens growing. to grow their own food. We’d like to encourage more people to do that, especially since a lot of people do have gardens. And

maybe they’re not using them as best they can.”

There will also be a host of children’s’ activities.

“It’s designed to get them out in the garden to do things like a scavenger hunt,” she says. “Plus, there are farm tours to let people know what we do here on the farm.”

One of the best ways of getting back to the land is to attend one of the society’s workshops, McGreer adds.

“I think people in the community are aware of us, but maybe don’t know a lot about the workshops we offer and the eco tours we have for the elementary schools,” she says.

But the public seems to know more about the allotment gardens on the site.

“They are really popular,” McGreer says, adding her interest in working with the Earthwise Society for the summer stems from her own leanings towards being kind to the environment.

“I was interested to learn more myself,” she says, noting the society is the perfect place to gain knowledge in what can be done. “I am interested in conservation, like wildlife conservation and natural resource management.”

Surrey North Delta Leader

ER nurse decries kids’ ATVs, dirt bikes Wants to initiate a movement for tougher laws regarding off-road vehicles and children

by Vikki Hopes JOY VANDEVELDE recently told her

sons she would not permit them to ride dirt bikes or ATVs any longer.

The mom of four is an emergency room nurse deeply concerned over the number of young kids she has seen injured from riding motorized vehicles. She says she doesn’t want her four sons – ages 14, 13, six and three – to be among them.

Nor does she want anyone else’s kids to become statistics. Vandevelde hopes to initiate a movement for tougher laws on children’s use of recreational vehicles such as ATVs, dirt bikes and motorized go-carts.

In 2004, the Canadian Pediatric Association called for enhanced legislation to control off-road vehicle use, particularly by children.

Last year, the Ontario Medical Association recommended banning children under 14 from driving ATVs. Vandevelde supports this measure.

She believes there should be an age restriction, similar to driving a car.

“Why on Earth do we give permission to children to drive these types of vehicles when they don’t even have a driver’s licence?” she said.

Vandevelde, who declined to

reveal what hospital she works at, said she has seen countless injuries related to the use of such vehicles.

She said some of her colleagues have witnessed deaths.

She does not believe that any amount of protective gear can keep a child safe.

“I’ve had kids where I’ve had to cut the $2,000 gear off just to get to a fracture.”

Dr. Iain MacPhail, medical director of trauma services for Fraser Health, said local numbers are not as high as one would think for serious injuries related to kids’ use of motorized vehicles.

There are no specific statistics related to ATVs, dirt bikes or similar machines, which are categorized under vehicle injuries. MacPhail said this category includes everything from skateboards to cars.

The most recent figures cover the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. During that time, Abbotsford Regional Hospital admitted 31 kids (under the age of 15) for injuries from vehicular crashes.

“Pediatric trauma is actually fairly rare,” MacPhail said.

Figures for less serious injuries that did not require admittance are not available, but MacPhail said these situations typically include fractures, head injuries, broken

Last year, the Ontario Medical Association recommended banning children under age 14 from driving ATVs. A local mother wants a similar ban in B.C. pelvises and collapsed lungs.

He said the more serious injuries tend to be incurred by teens over the age of 16 who often don’t have parental supervision and tend to be more reckless.

MacPhail agrees that tougher legislation might be in order.

“The biggest issues with ATVs and dirt bikes is that a lot of these

people aren’t very experienced drivers and they’re not wearing helmets.... To operate any kind of vehicle, I think you should pass a standard.”

B.C. is currently the only province in Canada that does not have regulations for mandatory helmet use on ATVs nor any age-related driving restrictions.

Clubs balk at changes

by Vikki Hopes TOUGHER LEGISLATION on kids’ use of ATVs and

dirt bikes will hurt responsible families and have little impact on reckless riders, say two proponents of the activities.

Karen Granger, communications director with the Fraser Valley Dirt Riders Association (FVDRA), and Ken Bryant, president of the Lower Mainland ATV Club (LMATV), said they would hesitate to support any movement to limit the use of such vehicles to those 16 years and older.

Granger said there are risks of injury in any sport and no amount of legislation will affect those who choose to be careless.

Organizations such as the FVDRA promote family-oriented, responsible riding, she said. They emphasize the use of proper safety gear, parental supervision, and rider training.

“I can’t remember the last time someone was injured,” Granger said.

She and her husband ride with their 10-year-old son, whom she said experiences numerous benefits, including camaraderie with other kids, knowledge of

mechanics, and physical fitness.

“These kids are not watching TV. They’re not playing video games. It’s complete outdoor activity all day long,” she said.

Bryant expressed similar views in sharing ATV riding with his 16-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son, although he is open to considering some restrictions.

The ATV community would need to be involved in that process, he said.

“I would support tougher regulations for kids as long as those regulations don’t make it impossible for responsible parents to enjoy the sport with their kids.”

Bryant said parental supervision and the use of protective gear are crucial elements of responsible ATV riding.

“The biggest problem is that some parents allow their kids to ride without supervision and often without so much as a helmet. Kids are always pushing the limits and trying to copy stunts they’ve seen on TV. It’s a recipe for disaster.”

For more information, visit fvdra.com or lmatv.com

However, the provincial Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts plans to implement by November 2011 regulations surrounding the use of off-road vehicles (ORV), including ATVs, dirt bikes and snowmobiles. They will not apply to use on private land.

Among the regulations are those requiring all ORV riders to wear a helmet and for youth less than 16 years old to be under adult supervision, riding a machine sized appropriately for their age and weight, and travelling at reduced speed limits.

Failure to comply could result in a $500 fine per offence.

The “ORV management framework” was developed by a coalition consisting of 11 organizations, including ATV riders, dirt bike clubs, snowmobilers, environmental and recreation groups, and more.

A “compliance and enforcement strategy” is in the process of being developed. This will include an education component to help achieve voluntary compliance of the regulations.

ATV injury numbers: Q There were more than 4,000 hospital visits due to ATV-related injuries in 2004-05, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information.

Q Children less than 16 years of age account for almost one-third of ATV injury-related emergency department visits and 30 per cent or more of ATV injury hospitalizations, according to the Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS).

Q The CPS says almost half of all ATV deaths occur in children under the age of 16.

Q The majority of injuries are fractures and dislocations.

Head injuries are also common.
