There may be light at the end of the tunnel for White Rock’s water supply.

While the boil-water advisory is still in effect, Epcor representatives said the city’s privately-owned water sys-tem has had three days of nega-tive readings in tests for E. coli throughout the system.

And Epcor has begun work on upgrading the roof of the high reservoir at Merklin Street, seen as a possible source of the recent E. coli contamination.

Tuesday, Epcor was awaiting the results of further tests to be discussed at an afternoon meeting with Fraser Health after Peace Arch News’ press time, company spokesperson Tim le Riche said.

“Hopefully, we’re approaching the end of this,” he said.

And while le Riche said Epcor is still looking for the “smoking gun” – the actual spot where E. coli could have intruded into the system –

attention is focusing on the Merk-lin Street high reservoir, where preliminary samples taken during inspection showed that E. coli was present during draining.

“It’s likely there are some spots on the roof where something might have been able to get in,” le Riche said.

The reservoir has since been cleaned and disinfected with chlorine spraying, just as the Merklin low reservoir was cleaned and disin-fected last week.

Epcor announced Sunday that microscopic examination of samples taken during inspec-

tion of the low reservoir showed the presence of encapsulated yeast commonly associated with pigeon droppings.

And le Riche said it was possible that water from the high reservoir could have intermixed with water in the lower reservoir.

Epcor’s David Rector said Monday that the high reservoir is currently undergoing work as a result of the findings.

“We’ll be doing the entire roof and all of the hatches and vents will be upgraded,” he said, adding it will now have the double-door hatches standard to all newly constructed reservoirs.

“The reservoir is exactly what it was in 1963,” Rector said. “It was standard design for the 1960s, but you’d never build anything like that today.”

The low reservoir is currently being evaluated for upgrading, but has tested negative for E. coli

Safety concerns – and the prevention of a possible cata-strophic 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 munici-pal 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 consul-tants 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 invest-ment 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 col-lapse the road and burst the ser-vices – which would, potentially, bring down the whole hillside,” Thompson added.

“There’s a force main at the bottom of the hill, and if that

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 hor-rible,” 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 school-zone speed limit – and Dawn is confi-dent 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 nar-rowly 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

didn’t hit the ground, hit my head.”Dawn said the driver told her he didn’t see

her because the sun was in his eyes.She suffered multiple soft-tissue injuries

along the right side of her body in the colli-sion. 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

A string of break-and-enters has White Rock RCMP reminding residents to lock their windows.

Sgt. Paul Fletcher said police have fielded seven reports of both attempted and successful break-and-enters over the past 1½ weeks.

In each, the culprit has gained access either by removing a window screen or coming

through an unlocked window. At one home, the

burglar was startled by an elderly resident.

No one was injured in the break-ins, which have taken place between 6 p.m. and 4 a.m. Items taken have included computers and liquor.

Fletcher said while the modus

operandi has been the same

in each incident, police have no suspects and cannot say for sure the crimes are the work of one person.

Police have no description of those responsible, although it’s known that the startled burglar was male.

Anyone with information is asked to contact White Rock RCMP at 778-593-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“We just want any assistance and people to be careful,” Fletcher said.

South Surrey resident Peter Tilbury will have to wait until January 2011 for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging scan) appoint-ment 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 con-crete 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 sub-sequent 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 hospital – and are likely to increase, given cur-rent demand and hospi-tal funding cutbacks.

And, Tilbury said he is still waiting for a direct response to emails he sent to health minister Kevin Falcon in June and July with his con-cerns about the issue.

Falcon was not avail-able 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 exer-cise.”

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 spokes-person, 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-

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.

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 gov-ernment 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-fulfill-ment 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 doc-tor believes he has a torn rotator cuff, but they won’t know for sure until Tilbury has his MRI. Marshall said Fraser Health empa-thizes 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.”

Brian Giebelhaus photoPeter Tilbury, who was hurt last January, will have to wait until January 2011 for an MRI, which he says is far too long.

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-

ity and I said that we were on the same page,” Thomp-son said.

BNSF Railway, owner of the land has been informed

of the work, and Thomp-son 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 man-agement plan’ that would look at vegetation that will continue to hold the slope together.

“Rather than planting kinds trees that may eventu-ally fall, we’d like to look at what is the best vegetation that will contribute to main-taining the integrity of the slope.”

Mayor Catherine Fergu-son said in a statement that safety of residents is “our chief concern.”

“Any vegetation growth that jeopardizes that safety must be addressed.”

South Point Exchange has been sold to a private Canadian investor for $91 million.

The transaction – which closed Monday – is being called the largest open-air 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.

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

appointments.”Walraven said that

particular HandyDART bus left the Peninsula early in the morning and returned in the evening, meaning Wilson – whose concerts were only a couple hours in the afternoon – would have to wait around before and after shows.

If there was enough demand and a bus could be filled, HandyDART customer service manager Cathy Ballard said a route could be scheduled specifically for the concerts. Walraven put a call out last fall to those in the community who were interested, and heard back from a

group of people.“It really worked out

because even though HandyDART was on strike for the next concert, because we had made contacts... there was a gentleman (and his wife) who offered to drive mom,” she said. “Once the strike was over, I contacted Cathy Ballard and she was very accommodating. For every concert for the remainder of the season, through the spring, the little group had a HandyDART bus.”

Walraven now hopes to connect with other local music lovers interested in joining Wilson and those from

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 Thursday-afternoon 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 [email protected]

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 ‘stratifi-cation’ – or ensure that water is moved around within a reservoir rather than standing for a long time at one level.

Neither that work, or prelimi-nary examination of the reser-voirs at the onset of the current crisis, identified any problem with seals on the reservoir, Rec-tor 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 pres-sure 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 abun-dance 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

draining, inspecting and cleaning of reservoirs, some chlorinated water will be flushed through the system.

Epcor has warned this may mean water from taps is slightly discoloured, has a slight chlorine odor and some noticeable par-ticles 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 com-munication 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 tele-phone 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, includ-ing any lifting of the current boil-water advisory.

In a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per cent of residents are first- and second-generation 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 Surrey-based 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?

editorial

VICTORIA – Chief Derek Orr spoke with a new confidence when he visited the B.C.

legislature last week to sign a ground-breaking deal to share provincial taxes from a mine development.

Two summers ago when I met him at the McLeod Lake reserve north of Prince George, he was newly elected, looking younger than his 35 years and unused to speeches and media interviews. The prosperous logging and construction businesses the McLeod Lake Indian Band had built were struggling, and things would soon get worse.

For years, the nearby mill town of Mackenzie was the poster child for a declining B.C. forest industry, but now the region is back on a roll. Sawmills and the pulp mill have started up again, construction for coal mines, gas development and wind farms is booming, and for the first time, the Crown would share its mining revenues in recognition of clearly demonstrated aboriginal title.

The pine beetle and the U.S.-led market collapse took its toll, Orr noted at the signing ceremony.

“We had to cut budgets by over 44 per cent, $3 million within our

organization,” he said. “But I’m happy to say we’re on the upswing again, and our future is bright.”

McLeod Lake gets an estimated $34-38 million share of B.C. resource royalties during the life of the Mt. Milligan copper-gold project. The B.C. government signed a second deal last week with two aboriginal communities near Kamloops to expand the dormant Afton Mine, giving them a one-third share, good for another $30 million.

The standard government approach has been to grapple with resource sharing in treaty negotiations, or leave the problem to the private

sector. Investors had to design projects, undertake huge environmental assessments and negotiate training, employment and infrastructure deals with aboriginal communities.

Mt. Milligan’s developers have been at it for a decade, and they still have a competing claim from the Nak’azdli Band near Fort St. James to deal with.

Minister of State for Mines Randy Hawes says the door is open to similar tax-sharing talks with the Nak’azdli, but warns that the size of a group and strength of its territorial claim

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.

Orr plans to put mining revenues in a trust fund for health, education, culture and Sekani language teaching.

Sometimes putting the past behind you is the only way to preserve it.

Mail theft a serious crimeEditor:

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.

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 effectsEditor: 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

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

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

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

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

Concerns taken seriously: EpcorEditor:

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 non-stop 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.

Costlydate

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.

The September commuter crush – traditionally the busiest time of year on Metro Vancouver roads and transit lines – kicks in now as vacations end and students head back to school or university.

TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the transit system experiences its heaviest loads of the year in the first two or three weeks after Labour Day.

“All the students head to campus about the same time in the morn-ing to do their regis-tering, buy their books and get set up for the year,” he said. “We need every-body to exercise some patience.”

The numbers ease later in the month as students settle into their course schedules.

Hardie advises anyone who can to shift their route times, espe-cially avoiding the busiest 8 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. rushes.

Commuting half an hour earlier or later can make a big difference and spread out traffic volumes, he said.

Construction delays on High-way 1 and the approaches to the Port Mann Bridge could add to the challenge for motorists.

The tolled Golden Ears Bridge offers a usually uncongested route over the Fraser River for

those willing to pay.The heaviest choke points on

transit are typically ones where UBC-bound students exit SkyTrain for buses, such as at stations on Broadway, or Pro-duction Way in the case of SFU-bound students.

“It’s normal for us to have pretty significant crowds waiting at key points like Commercial-Broad-

way,” Hardie said.Transit users should

find more wriggle room on SkyTrain than in the fall of 2009 thanks to the new cars added to the system ahead of the 2010 Olympics.

“We have 48 more cars on the Expo and Millennium Lines that we didn’t have last year,” Hardie said.

More buses were also added and some existing buses have shifted to bolster other routes after being replaced by the Canada Line.

The #49 Metrotown-UBC route will run 60-foot articulated buses at peak times, freed up when the Canada Line replaced long buses formerly used on the 98 B-Line.

Downtown Vancouver buses are also returning to Granville Street, now that trolley wires taken down for Canada Line construc-tion have been reinstalled.

Extra seasonal service is being added on a number of routes serving post-secondary institu-

tions where students have the mandatory U-Pass, which gives unlimited transit use at a deep discount to normal monthly prices.

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 tre-mendous new demand on the transit system, beyond Trans-Link’s capacity.

But Hardie said it’s unclear whether all eligible institutions will join.

He also noted some that are eligible – such as BCIT, Van-couver Community College and Emily Carr University of Art and Design – already have large num-bers of students taking transit.

Hardie said other transit changes this September include:• A new community shuttle serv-ing New Westminster.• Reconfiguration of bus exchanges at Capilano Univer-sity, New Westminster Station and UBC Loop.

See www.translink.ca for details.

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 mil-lion 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 expecta-tions, with the Pacific Salmon Commission Friday raising its in-season estimate of late-run sockeye to 21.4 million, com-pared to an 8.5 million pre-sea-son forecast.

So far, more salmon (6.4 mil-lion) 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 late-run sockeye are delaying in the Strait of Georgia.

It’s the first time in four years commercial fishermen have been

granted openings, after disas-trous 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 sur-vival – 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 continu-ing to fish until further notice.

Large numbers of sockeye are also being spotted on upstream spawning grounds, and are mostly arriving in good condi-tion.

“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 Soci-ety.

He kayaked at the mouth of the river earlier in the week and was astonished to see the water “boil-ing” 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 Cul-tus 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 get-ting 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 certifica-tion 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 Rosen-berger 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


Having 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 suc-cessful 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 com-mendable – 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-threat-ening meningitis. While she survived the illness – which affects membranes surround-ing 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 intro-duced to sign language at Uplands Elemen-tary 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 employ-ment and education,” she said through video relay service (VRS), in which she communi-cates over a video phone with hearing people in realtime, via an interpreter.

Thew said she also struggled with her iden-tity, and had difficulties accepting her deaf-ness.

“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.

“There was a large number of deaf people in colleges in California that I went to,” she said. “I wanted to explore my deaf identity and that was one of the things I felt was really miss-ing with me when I was living in Vancouver because... I was primarily growing up in the hearing world.”

Thew’s education then took her to Nebraska – where she gradu-ated with honours in psychology – before she finished her PhD in North Dakota.

Learning in schools catered to hearing people meant Thew had to put in extra effort to keep up with her peers.

“Sometimes I had to work harder than the hearing people to get the information. I was outside the loop. I had to read a lot more than people who can hear because I missed so much of that incidental learning,” she said. “But I never gave up; I never gave up my

dream.”Thew now hopes to get involved with clini-

cal research and health disparity in the deaf community.

“There’s so much information out there that is being missed in the deaf community in regards to health disparity. Part of the rea-

son is the deaf community doesn’t have the opportunity to hear the information that’s going on around them.

“I’m working on developing many different video tapes in regards to the health information that would

really be beneficial to the deaf community.” While her family still lives in Canada – her

grandmother is a White Rock resident – Thew can’t see herself leaving the U.S., where she said more services for deaf people are offered.

“We’ve had (VRS) here in the States for

over five years. Here in America, we have the Americans with Disabilities Act, and that provides interpreters and accessible services for all of my classes,” she said. “I really wish that the barriers were not so incredibly deep in Canada that I actually had to leave my homeland in order to become who I am today.”

Thew, who made a brief visit to the Penin-sula this week, said such barriers can some-times hinder deaf people from finding suc-cess.

“Because of these barriers... so many cannot make it and it seems like the outside world makes it impossible for deaf people to get what they need in life,” she said.

“Everyone has the potential to... become successful in their life and it’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that everybody can reach that potential and have full access to education.”

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

Catherine Ferguson; a “fairy godmother” who placed a tiara on the head of each guest; and Cinderella, played by Alyssa Nielsen.

“It was like she was trained in Disneyland,” Merkal said of Nielsen. “She embodied that princess. 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 [email protected] 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!

Save a bundle on suppliesPerhaps no time of year

is as bittersweet for parents as the back-

to-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 wallet-friendly tips to keep in mind before you hit the stores:

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,

Cartridge World in South Surrey will refill or remanufacture your empty inkjet and laser toner cartridges with top-quality brand specific ink and toners. “Ninety-five per cent of cartridges can be refilled, whether inkjet or laser, photocopier or fax,large, small, black or colour,” says Cartridge World’s Mike Kitchen.

Make a list. Today’s school supplies are flashier than ever, essentially transforming the school supply aisle into something that would fit right in at the local toy store. 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. Wal-Mart Supercenter has all the supplies kids will need to make their return to school a successful

one this fall, without breaking the bank.With vast and ongoing stock, Wal-mart boasts an extensive inventory of school supplies that helps parents and students secure the materials they need throughout the year and save money when so doing.The new Studio C collection at Wal-Mart is the Carolina Pad signature brand, featuring your favourite collections.

From hip and trendy to classic and timeless, these collections are designed to showcase your personal style. This collection comes complete with notebooks, pens, pencils and more. For the more “hardcore” student, Schoolio’s “Skulls” collection is sure to please, with a unique skull and crossbones graphic on binders, notebooks, calculators and more.

CITY NEWSWATER ADVISORY UPDATEThe 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.

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.

Epcor has worked to enhance communications with residents including a service to automatically call water customersAs an advocate for the citizens, the City is delivering any concerns about this situation directly to Epcor and the Fraser Health Authority. Please email your comments to [email protected]. Please regularly check the Epcor website at www.epcor.ca/whiterock or call the Epcor Information Line at 604-536-6112.

Second SightArtist/photographer George

Omorean’s solo show Second Sight – Photographs Taken With Rescued Film Cameras, runs Sept. 2 to Oct. 1 at Semiahmoo Arts Gallery (White Rock and District Community Arts Council), 90-1959 152 St.

The long-time Peninsula resident, who teaches fine-art photography and digital media arts at Aldergrove Community Secondary School, has always been fascinated by old film cameras.

“One of my passions is finding

and reusing film cameras, allowing them to ‘see’ again, if only for a single exposure,” he said.

“I love to consider the mystery of what a forgotten camera has seen through its eye – family celebrations, romantic occasions, tragic events or even just a simple moment caught in a particular place in time.”

Images in the exhibition have been taken with cameras ranging from vintage to more modern, and Omorean has processed the

film personally, producing prints on fibre-based paper to archival standards.

Opening reception, with artist in attendance, will be Thursday, Sept. 2 from 7 to 9 p.m.

For more information, call 604-536-8333.

Coffee HouseThe Crescent Moon

Coffee House, is back at its home at Kwomais Point Park (formerly Camp Kwomais) at 1367 128 St. every Thursday at 8 p.m.

The coffee house, a Peninsula

tradition dating back to 1979, began as a music therapy program, evolved into a community meeting place for musicians and music lovers, and has been the debut venue for many well-known local performers. All are welcome and admission is $5.

Uptown LoungeSemiahmoo Arts (Community

Arts Council of White Rock and District) presents the first of a new music series: Uptown Lounge - Beyond Ordinary, Sept. 17, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre, 15154 Russell

Ave. The purpose of the lounge is to provide a place to relax and launch the weekend in style, with live entertainment by Peninsula musicians and a self-serve bar offering a selection of beverages at low prices.

Up for the first presentation are two local music favourites: singer-songwriter Heidi McCurdy, noted for her soulful vocals, hip rhythms and clever lyrics, and 2009 Guitar Player magazine Guitar Superstar finalist Doug Towle, noted for his flawless technique and impassioned flamenco-style pop music. For more information, call 604-536-8333.

Eco Apparel entrepreneur Mark Trotzuk tees off on the sixth hole at the Surrey Eagles Golf Classic Thursday, as State of Shock guitarist Kadooh, Nickelback tour manager Chief Zaruck, producer Joey Moi, and former Vancouver Canuck Geoff Courtnall look on. The sixth annual event, at Hazelmere Golf Course, helped to raise money for Kidsport.

The Big Kahuna Rams’ three-game 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 Confer-ence record fell to 3-3 with a 40-8 loss to the defending champion Vancouver Island Raiders, Satur-day 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 turn-overs in the final five minutes of the first half, which led to a pair of late Raider touchdowns.

After Vancouver Island quarter-back 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 Nathan-iel 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

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. “Defen-sively... 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 yard-age and just 15 yards on one kick return.

Despite his one costly fumble, O’Neill had a decent day return-ing 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.

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 Coquit-lam, the Eagles fell 1-2 in pre-season action with a 4-2 loss to the Coquit-lam 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 exhi-bition, 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 exhi-bition 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.

It’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 award-winning 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 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

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.

SAN FRANCISCO: Volkswagen Canada will reposition the Jetta below the Golf and signifi cantly 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 fi rst or second largest car company on the planet and has long seen North America as being the fi scal 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 fi ve-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, fi ve-cylinder with 170 hp and 177 lb/ft of torque with the same fi ve-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 fi ve years ago. With a wheelbase of 2,651 mm, there is easily room for fi ve 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 fi ve 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

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 magnifi ed. 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.
