“...highly recommend him to anyone!”- D & M Karius, Surrey

Get picking, get pickling

By Jennifer LangAlong with last week’s urgent plea from a

Cloverdale farmer for help harvesting and de-livering thousands of pounds of ripe produce bound for the food bank came a reminder that there’s another way to help.

� ere are also pickling cucum-bers for sale to the public.

South Surrey’s God’s Little Acre Farm, run by farmer and truck driver Jas Singh, expanded from eight to 34 acres over the past three years to grow mixed vegetables for food banks in Surrey and around the region.

� is year, the farm at 16582 40 Avenue grew four acres of pickling cucumbers for sale in order to o� -set operating costs, and to provide Singh with a modest salary – he wasn’t able to continue trucking this winter, due to the demands of the farm.

Without the public’s help to buy the farm’s pesticide-free, you-pick dill cucumbers, the farm will fail, Singh said in a plea last week.

“I have put my faith in pickling cukes and I hope you will decide to buy them,” Singh later told supporters on the farm’s Facebook page, in one of the many updates he’s posted from the Cloverdale Library a� er a long day’s work.

� e cucumbers are $28 for 20 pounds, and are available Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

“If you don’t know how to pickle, you can download a recipe from the internet or call

your grandma,” he wrote. “If I sell out of cukes, we will recover the costs of this year’s project and help set us up for next year.”

� e farm is also seeded by hand, a rarity in this age of modern farm-ing methods.

Singh is at the helm of a lean operation. “I own one old pickup truck, no savings, no RRSPs, no in-vestments, no house, kids in school and have been given the honor of doing this project.”

Singh is overwhelmed by the show of volunteer labour and sup-

port. “Dreams come true right here in Clover-dale, B.C.,” he said. When he started the proj-ect, he envisioned having “maybe 100 people” helping him.

But Singh and his existing volunteers were having trouble keeping up with weeding and performing even minimal harvesting, forcing him to ask for more help.

� e response has gone “beyond his dreams,”

Resident recovering from otter attackBy Carole RooneyCloverdale’s � ersa Weltzin was injured when she

was attacked by otters in a lake near 100 Mile House in a rare, but not unheard of, incident of human-aquatic life con� ict.

Weltzin was visiting in-laws at their cabin when she went for a swim to cool o� shortly before noon on Aug. 1, in what she thought were safe waters.

To her shock and terror, part way across Greeny Lake in the South Cariboo she was attacked and bit-ten nine times by at least one otter and possibly two.

“As I was about three quarter of the way across, about [80 metres from the far shore], I heard a splash,” she told Black Press. “I looked around and about 20 metres behind me is this animal coming for me directly.”

� is worried her, so she stopped and watched as the otter then ducked under the surface just o� to her right.

� e former lifeguard and water polo player began to do a backstroke that kept her head up, when the otter attacked.

“I’m pedalling backward and doing egg-beaters with my legs and it’s biting me over and over again, and I’m screaming at the top of my lungs for my brother-in-law to help. It was pretty frightening.”

She saw another otter at this time, but because the lake’s water is murky, she doesn’t know if it joined in the attack.

Her husband’s brother, Brian Weltzin, heard � eresa’s cries and headed out in a kayak, with his

As many as nine bites.

he said. “At one point, there were 468 people throughout the farm.”

If you called or emailed Singh, it may take awhile before he gets back to you.

As of Monday, he’d received 790 phone calls (“most of which I couldn’t even think of picking up,”) and was sifting through 468 emails and 118 un-returned texts in a tid-al wave of support.

He later realized the voicemail message box was full, and he’d ac-tually missed 1,100 phone calls.

No matter; 580 people showed up over the course of the day on Saturday to help.

“Thank you for all the hard work and friendship,” he wrote.

In addition to picking and pack-ing 15,000 pounds of ripe zucchini, volunteers managed to weed the farm, and install crop cover on the smaller crops.

The plan is to move onto weed-ing the pumpkin rows and begin harvesting potatoes later this week.

Going forward, the farm will need additional volunteers Satur-days and Wednesdays.

Volunteers will receive free pro-duce in return for their labour. Food bank recipients who volun-teer can also load up, as can se-

niors, people with disabilities, and single parents.

In its first two years, the farm donated an estimated 100,000 pounds of fresh veggies to individ-uals, food banks and charitable or-ganizations. This year, the farm has grown 265,000 pounds of carrots, red potatoes, mixed squash and cucumbers, along with pumpkins that will be used by two schools to raise money for lunch programs.

The farm has also expanded to include a 12-acre Kid’s Farm, where young visitors can learn

about farming.Volunteer days are every Sat-

urday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesdays from 4 p.m. to dark, from now to Oct. 31.

Special arrangements can be made for corporate groups.

Call Singh at 604-375-1171 for more information, or email orders to [email protected].

Cucumbers are available to pick daily, but you’re asked to order in advance unless it’s a Saturday.

School bucks the enrolment trend

By Jennifer LangOne of Surrey’s best kept secrets

may not remain that way for much longer. While its closest neighbours are once again at student capac-ity, cosy Port Kells Elementary has classrooms to spare.

With student enrolment “hover-ing at 100,” Principal Tess Souder says her school is in a unique situ-ation in Surrey, B.C.’s largest, and fastest-growing school district.

“I live in Cloverdale, and all of the schools in the area are at capacity. Every single classroom and portable is fully loaded, and they have to turn students away. With our school, we have empty classrooms, which is un-usual.”

Because of its rural setting at 19076 88 Avenue, Port Kells Ele-mentary has one of the largest catch-ment areas in the Surrey School Dis-trict, Souder said.

There is presently room for new students in all divisions.

Monday (Aug. 26), Port Kells El-ementary welcomes the public to an open house starting at 6:30 p.m. Par-ents are invited to tour the school, meet with staff, and get acquainted with the Tiny Toes Learning Centre, opening on Sept. 3, offering before and after school care, and a pre-school.

Both programs are new this year.“It adds a service for parents and

also makes the school a vibrant heart of the community,” she said. “That’s the direction we want to go.”

Souder suspects prospective par-ents may have overlooked the quiet, country school-like atmosphere of Port Kells Elementary, established in 1909, making it the second oldest, still-operating elementary school in Surrey.

It’s set amid heritage trees and boasts acres of grassy play areas, with two playgrounds and plenty of parking.

In the afternoon, there’s no line up as parents picking up their children after school rally their vehicles for position, she adds.

“At our little school, there’s no traffic jam. It’s the complete oppo-site,” Souder said. “It’s sort of like an old, country school.”

The school’s rural setting means students have enjoyed smaller class sizes, too.

The school has close ties with the surrounding community, with a parent-run pancake breakfast on the last day of classes before Christmas break, and organizations such as the Port Kells volunteer fire depart-ment acting as a learning valuable resource for some of the classes.

“It’s just a down-to-earth place. It’s lovely.”

To the editor;Re: “Eating contests are an a� ront to the

world’s starving people,” Aug. 15. Dick Hulls’ rant about eating contests de-

mands some kind of response as it is only subjective in nature and only ap-pears to be an a� ront to him.

His trembling attempt to ap-pear objective in trying to make people feeling guilty about it won’t work.

Perhaps this appears wasteful to him, however, to others it is ex-actly what it is...fun.

Mr. Hulls asks, “What are we in this so-

called land of plenty doing to help alleviate this tragic circumstance?”

Perhaps he’s not aware, but there are a myr-iad of world food agencies that are working to do just that; helping to alleviate the world’s

hungry and starving citizens.For example, locally, there are

church soup kitchens, the Salva-tion Army is doing an outstand-ing job of providing food and clothing, as well as the Union Gospel Mission in Vancouver, to mention a few.

What has Mr. Hulls done to help alleviate such circumstances? Has he volunteered at a

soup kitchen lately? Has he donated funds to a food charity?

ere is tremendous joy by being involved in feeding the hungry, and donating to world food agencies, of which I’ve had the privilege of doing both.

If Mr. Hulls can answer that he has sup-ported some kind of food charity or agency, then well done.

But before he attempts to remove the sliver out of someone else’s eye for not doing it, then perhaps he can start by removing the log out of his.

I was taken by ambulance to Hope hospital, where the doctor and nurses did tests to determine why I fell. I fell because I was dehydrated.

Now, I take a bottle of water when I walk to town. anks again to the person who called the ambulance and the ambulance drivers and the doctor and nurses at the Hope hospital. I even got

lunch at the Hope hospital. ere is a lesson here. Elderly people should al-

ways have water when they walk in hot weather. I was trying to be 27 instead of 67.

From pipes to penA Cloverdale piper and author branches out into the realm of fiction

By Jennifer LangAt an age when some

folks might be easing comfortably into retire-ment, Cloverdale’s James McWilliams has set out on a literary adventure.

A military historian, piper, author, composer and former high school teacher, Williams, 74, has crafted a series of historical adventure nov-els, picking up a creative project begun years ago.

The first two install-ments of the MacHugh Memoirs – set between 1810 and 1840 and featuring the exploits of Rory MacHugh, a piper and Canadian hero – were released last fall.

And he’s determined to publish the rest of his adventure series, while finding a wider audience for his fiction and non-fiction works as a novelist and author.

“You get to my age and you think, ‘If I don’t do it, nobody will see it,’” he says. “I told my doctor, I have to live to at least 120 to get all this stuff done.”

Health woes have regretfully cut short his involvement in one of his great passions – playing with a number of pipe bands, including the Lang-ley Legion Pipe Band, the Delta Police Pipe Band, and the Vancouver Police Pipe Band, along with guesting with Celtic band Blackthorn.

“The last few months, I’ve had to give all that up. But I sure hate not playing.”

The plucky Moose Jaw, Sask., native broke his hip last year, and he suffers from polymyalgia rheumatica, or PMR.

“You always hurt somewhere,” he shrugs.Marching, he says, is no longer an option.So he turned the pages back to writing fiction.

His interest in historical adventures and writing began as a reader.

Back in the 1970s, the father of two sons broke his hip in a cycling accident, resulting in a month-long hospital stay.

He passed the time reading military adventure novels, like C.S. Forster’s The Gun, about the Span-ish peninsular war with Napoleon, the Horatio Hornblower series, and others.

“I thought, you know, I can do this.”So he started writing a book of his own, right

there in the hospital, and he kept it up.In the army, McWilliams had developed an odd

sleeping schedule – he could only sleep four hours a night. So, while the rest of his family slumbered, he’d be awake from 2 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.

“You had time to write,” he says sensibly. He wrote his stories in longhand, scribbling

away at night, making later revisions on a type-writer.

“I was just doing it for fun.”He eventually wrote seven novels, he says, ad-

mitting, “I did very little with them.”Years later, he notes, Sharpe’s Rifles came out,

and suddenly there was a broader popular interest in books about heroic men having grand adven-tures as soldiers, sailors, and spies.

McWilliams published The Black War-Bonnet and The Fugitives last November. He wore a tradi-tional kilt at the launch at the Cloverdale Legion, and brought his pipes along, of course.

Although retired, something of the high school history teacher shines through in accurate, his-torical details that pepper his tales of MacHugh,

breathing life into a story that begins nearly 200 years ago, on the prairie, where former employees of the North West Company share the rugged plains with indigenous people.

First up in the series, The Black War-Bonnet, is about how MacHugh, a 13-year-old boy, is kidnapped by Blackfoot warriors and eventually becomes a lieutenant in the British Army.

McWilliams is an elegant and engaging writer, with a solid sense of pacing, keeping the action moving along, while seamlessly weav-ing in vivid, historic details.

The Black War-Bonnet is well-researched, and includes footnotes, hand-drawn maps, and even music manuscripts.

The author’s Scottish heritage and love for the great Highland bagpipe is obvious.

He’s sipping from a tartan-bedecked coffee mug, and the Cloverdale home he shares with his wife Joan – who teaches highland dancing – is filled with kilts and dance costumes.

Framed photographs document the family’s travels with various pipe and drum bands.

Writing combines his interests in music and historyFrom page 5

His expansive bookshelf, however, is crammed with a range of subjects.

Writing, he says, combines his consum-ing interests: Celtic music, bagpipes, and military history.

McWilliams, who started playing bag-pipes when he was 12 has kept at it most of his life, as a performer, pipe major and instructor.

Sons Lachlan and Colin, now grown, are pipers, too.

He also helped found the Saskatch-ewan Summer School of the Arts in the Qu’appelle Valley, which operated from 1967 to 1991, offering students instruc-tion in visual arts, drama, music and writing.

As a young man, he spent four years in the Canadian army, before heading to uni-versity and becoming a teacher.

“It was terrific,” he says of his time in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. “It was the toughest time of my life, but the guys you met – they were great guys.”

Even now, he recalls lessons imparted during his training, leading to new revela-tions daily.

Being in the army was hard work, he says, but he embraced it.

“There’s something about the challenge and the comradeship of it. There’s always someone to pull you up.”

That sensibility informs his writing. As an author, he’s big on research, travel-

ing in person to the places where his stories are set.

He also draws on the experiences he gleaned from First World War veterans he interviewed as part of research he conduct-ed in the 1970s and ‘80s.

Working with author Jim Steele, he co-authored three works of non-fiction,

histories of the First World War: The Suicide Battalion, Gas! The Battle for Ypres 1915, and Amiens: Dawn of Victory.

What originally began as research for a book on piping and the First World War quickly transformed into a history of Moose Jaw’s 46th Battalion, he explains.

More recently, he wrote A Piper’s World, a collection of music written and arranged for the bagpipe featuring 99 tunes.

Like the MacHugh Memoirs, it’s self-published.

This summer, McWilliams returned to Moose Jaw, where, according to the Times Herald, he donated a special gift to the Saskatchewan Dragoons, formerly known as the 46th Battalion, which developed the nickname the Suicide Battalion due to a 91.5 per cent casualty rate during the First World War.

It’s a trench map that was issued to a member of the corps in 1917.

Next year is 100th anniversary of the 46th Battalion, and he hopes the anniversary will spur interest in his non-fiction works about the First World War.

He’s planned to write a dozen MacHugh novels eventually.

Until then, a shelf of unread adventures – the Flashman series by George MacDon-ald Fraser, and several of the Sharpe’s Rifles series by Bernard Cornwell (all birthday and Christmas gifts from his sons) – will remain tantalizingly untouched.

The Sharpe series, in particular, is set in the same time and locales as his MacHugh series, and he doesn’t want to unconsciously plagiarize plot lines.

“They’re waiting until I finish my series. Then I’ve got a whole treat of books wait-ing.”

The two Surrey busi-nessmen are taking part in Concrete Hero, a physically demanding, urban obstacle course event that aims to raise awareness and money

for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. (See relat-ed story, ‘Obstacles are no barrier,’ page 7.)

The cause hits close to home because their uncle is currently bat-tling cancer. Addition-ally, they lost a grandfa-ther to prostate cancer a couple of years ago.

Team HD Concrete has set a goal of $2,400. The fundraiser is Aug. 25 at The Henry Pub-lic House, starting at 4 p.m. To lend your sup-port, drop by, or visit www.concretehero.ca, and click donate. Enter Team HD Concrete to make a donation.

News in brief


Obstacles are no barrier

By Kristine SalzmannWhat has motivated Ryan Hewgill to leap, climb,

scramble, swing and sweat his way through down-town Vancouver later next month?

Family, for one. Personal drive is another.The Cloverdale resident has signed up for Con-

crete Hero, an urban obstacle course that will ben-efit the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Concrete Hero organizers have created obstacles that replicate “a mix of iconic British Columbian landmarks” along a seven-kilometre course route in downtown Vancouver.

Racers will climb several busses in the “Lions Gate Lockdown,” swing across the muddy waters of the “Lost Lagoon,” and scale two storeys over “the Chief,” among other urban-themed obstacles, orga-nizers said in a media release. The Sept. 29 event ends in a block party downtown.

Hewgill, 40, heard about Concrete Hero after climbing another iconic local landmark, the Grouse Grind. He had reached the top of the mountain, just having beat a personal record, when he met a few people promoting the race.

He registered as an individual (participants can also sign up in teams), comparing what he knows of the event to Tough Mudder, an annual obstacle course hosted in Whistler. (The event features a military-style obstacle course along a 19-km run. Hewgill signed up for two days of Tough Mudder this year for an additional challenge).

But the added draw of Concrete Hero was the op-portunity to honour members of his family affected by cancer. His mother passed away from pancreatic cancer more than 10 years ago, and both his father and sister are cancer survivors.

“Unfortunately it [cancer] does affect many, many people, and it has affected many people in my life,” Hewgill says.

“It’s time for me to get more involved, especially with the family I have who’ve been affected.”

He laments that people often feel they’re too busy to participate in such events, or find them intimi-dating.

“It can be intimidating, but when you complete an event like that, honestly, it’s such a great feeling,” he says. “You feel almost humbled by the people that are out there that are really much more chal-lenged than you.”

While this is the first Concrete Hero in Vancou-ver, Los Angeles, CA, has played host to it for two years. Their second annual race earlier this summer raised more than half a million dollars for AIDS Project Los Angeles.

Police honoursTwo nominees with a Cloverdale con-

nection are finalists in the upcoming 17th Annual Police Officer of the Year Awards.

Staff Sgt. Martin Blais, commander of the Surrey RCMP’s Cloverdale/Port Kells District 4 office, is one of three finalists in the category of Police Officer of the Year – Nominated by Community.

Wildlife welcomeWith large snakes grabbing headlines

lately, a local exotic animal rescue facil-ity’s open house offers a welcome op-portunity. Cinemazoo and Urban Safari Rescue Society is hosting an open house fundraiser Saturday (Aug. 24), from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 1395 176 Street, South Surrey.

The facility houses and feeds 250 exotic animals who have been abandoned, mis-treated or surrendered by their owners.

The event features a giant garage sale, barbecue, face painting, and other sur-prises. Funds raised go to education programs for animals of all kinds, and children and adults. Along with rescuing animals, the society works to educate the public about the value of these critters and their place in the world.

Fruit TreesFruit Trees

MedlarMespilus germanica An ancient fruit tree – grown in Europe for thousands of years but little known in North America.It is self-fertile. Grows to 10’ tall, zone 5 to 9 Collect the fruit when it is still hard, usually after the fi rst frost. Allow it to ripen in a cool, well lit spot for a few weeks. It will undergo a process called “bletting”. Once it has softened it is ready to eat. The fl avour resembles a spicy, rich, cinnamon apple sauce. Delicious. Great for jam or chutneys as well as a tasty medlar cheese.

Volunteer support neededA support group for people who are caring for

family members with Alzheimer’s disease is actively recruiting new volunteers in the Cloverdale area.

The Alzheimer Society of B.C. runs a free, care-giver support group that meets once a month, giv-ing people a place to talk about how their lives are affected by dementia.

“This is their lifeline,” says Rose Puska, the society’s support and edu-cation coordinator for the Cloverdale area.

“They can meet with people with similar issues who are in a unique po-sition to offer support to others on the same jour-ney. The group is a place where they can talk openly, share information and give each other mutual sup-port.”

An estimated one in 11 B.C. residents over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer’s disease or oth-

er form of dementia, a number that’s expected to double over the next generation, the society says.

The resulting need for support and assistance is soaring. Volunteers help meet the demand.

“Volunteers are absolutely invaluable to our team,” she says. “It’s exceptionally rewarding work, to know that you are making a meaningful differ-

ence in someone’s life.”Support group facilitators are

needed. To qualify, volunteers should have excellent listening and empathy skills, a knowledge of dementia and facilitation skills or willingness to learn. Formal or informal caregiving experience is an asset.

Training is provided. A one-year commitment is required.

For more information and to volunteer, contact Puszka at 604-533-5277 or [email protected].

Surrey Memorial, Royal Columbian to test for deadly C. difficile vaccine

By Jeff NagelTwo Lower Mainland hos-

pitals that have battled high rates of C. difficile infection in recent years will be part of the first full clinical trials for a vac-cine against the bacteria.

Patients who are at Royal Columbian Hospital and Sur-rey Memorial Hospital will be offered the vaccine.

Fraser Health officials say the vaccine attacks the toxins that damage the bowel and

early data shows it may pro-duce a positive response from the body to fight off the diar-rhea-causing infection, even in the elderly.

C. difficile kills 2,000 Cana-dians a year and authorities are concerned about new strains that have developed in Que-bec and are thought linked to many deaths.

“This is an exciting opportu-nity to get on top of this nasty organism,” Fraser Health chief

medical health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder.

“It costs the health care sys-tem millions of dollars to treat and control this organism, not to mention the cost to pa-tients. We are looking forward to running a trial of the vac-cine and work towards better managing this ever-increasing challenge.”

The trial will begin near the end of August and continue for 30 months.

Patients expected to be in hospital over the next 60 days will be asked to participate.

And others who have been in hospital at least twice over the last 12 months and have taken antibiotics will also be recruited.

Several Fraser Health hos-pitals conducted intensified cleaning operations in 2012 in response to higher than aver-age C. difficile infection rates.

Island fightAnti-coal campaign-

ers opposed to a new coal-handling terminal in Surrey have turned to Powell River in their search for allies.

The proposed Fraser Surrey Docks terminal would take coal by rail and then send it by

barge to Texada Island, just a few kilometres offshore of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast.

Up to eight million tonnes of coal a year could be barged there and stockpiled for transfer to ocean-going ships.

Activist Paula Wil-

liams said the potential 20-fold increase from the existing coal ship-ments out of Texada

could bring “serious health implications” for Powell River residents and potential marine environment damage.

Port Metro Van-couver has not yet ruled on whether the new terminal can be built, but it has been opposed by Metro

Vancouver, several local cities and faces demands from medi-cal health officers for a health impact assess-ment.

One call to get answers aboutseniors care

By Diane StrandbergFraser Health has made it easier

for families to locate services to help seniors stay independent and in their homes longer.

Information about resources and referral services has been centralized and people can now call 1-855-412-2121 daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to speak with trained, multi-lingual staff.

Carl Meadows, director of clinical programs for home health, said call-ers can find out about support ser-vices or arranging for a clinic or home visit for further assessment.

Some of the supports that can be provided are help with:

• home support (bathing/groom-ing/toileting/feeding);

• in-home health care;• nursing clinics in all communi-

ties;• day programs for seniors;• services to give caregivers a break.Having only one number to call im-

proves and streamlines client support, said Meadows.

“Our philosophy is ‘home is best,’” Meadows said, noting that people can get help developing a plan so elderly people can stay independent and at home longer, even after a hospital stay, or when they are having difficul-ties looking after themselves.

The new centralized system has also

been integrated with B.C.’s acute care hospitals so people can return home more easily with appropriate nursing and other supports.

Don’t wait to callBut Meadows advises people not to

wait for a health emergency to plan for assistance for their loved one.

“We don’t want them to wait until their mother has fallen, humans are like this, particularly around care-giver burnout. Families will adjust and move their lives around incred-ibly, and then they’re on the burning platform. Humans don’t do a lot of pre-planning.”

Among the questions people ask themselves are: Can mom stay home safely by herself? Who will help Dad with his personal care when I’m at work? I no longer think I can live at home alone. I think I need some help, but what is available?

Meadows said Home Health Ser-vice Line staff can make suggestions and refer a client for a clinic or home assessment.

The new number is already in service for new clients, but current Home Health users can continue to call their local Home Health office for assistance. People can also call 211 to look for community, social or govern-ment services.

One call to get answers aboutseniors care

By Diane StrandbergFraser Health has made it easier

for families to locate services to help seniors stay independent and in their homes longer.

Information about resources and referral services has been centralized and people can now call 1-855-412-2121 daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to speak with trained, multi-lingual staff.

Carl Meadows, director of clinical programs for home health, said call-ers can find out about support ser-vices or arranging for a clinic or home visit for further assessment.

Some of the supports that can be provided are help with:

• home support (bathing/groom-ing/toileting/feeding);

• in-home health care;• nursing clinics in all communi-

ties;• day programs for seniors;• services to give caregivers a break.Having only one number to call im-

proves and streamlines client support, said Meadows.

“Our philosophy is ‘home is best,’” Meadows said, noting that people can get help developing a plan so elderly people can stay independent and at home longer, even after a hospital stay, or when they are having difficul-ties looking after themselves.

Otter bites rare: C.O. says

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOFortunately, her � nger wasn’t bitten off.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Theresa Weltzin of Cloverdale was

swimming in Greeny Lake on Aug. 1 when she was attacked by otters. At least one

otter bit her repeat-edly for about � ve minutes, until her

screams alerted her brother-in-law and nephew, who went

out by boat and rescued her.

‘It’s got to be a territorial thing. The otters obviously felt threatened’

Traf� c map taps cell signalsA new online tra� c map for the Lower Mainland

has been unveiled that anonymously tracks cell-phone signals to calculate and display congestion levels in real time.

According to the transportation ministry, per-sonal data from cellphones is removed before being incorporated in the map’s data system, but privacy advocates have expressed concern.

� e map is on the translink.ca and drivebc.ca web-sites. It was developed by TransLink and the $1.2

million cost was shared by the federal and provin-cial governments.

Major arteries are colour coded, with red indicat-ing very slow tra� c and green showing it’s moving smoothly.

It’s also expected to help various agencies study tra� c � ows in Metro Vancouver.

� e map covers Highway 1 from Horseshoe Bay to Chilliwack, Highway 99 from the Peace Arch to Whistler, as well as all other numbered highways and major commuter routes in the region.

son following in a rowboat, reaching her about � ve minutes later.

“As soon as they came, I grabbed onto the kayak and the biting stopped. But [Brian] said he had the paddle ready to hit the otter.”

� e animal then swam away toward the east end of the lake, and � eresa was pulled back to shore by hanging on to the kayak, and taken to the emer-gency room at 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of her numerous wounds.

A Conservation O� cer was noti� ed and attend-ed the hospital, where she said he asked if she had seen see otter kits anywhere, and she told him, “Oh, God no.”

She noted she swam across Greeny Lake two days before that without incident, and never saw any signs of an otter den or any young either time.

It was a relief to get safely to shore, and once her wounds were attended to, she quickly returned home to see her family doctor.

Weltzin was put on three combinations of an-tibiotics to prevent infection rather than have her wounds stitched up.

She was directed to Surrey Memorial Hospital for a potential rabies shot, where the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, biologists and others were con-sulted and determined that rabies infection was “so unlikely” she didn’t need the vaccine.

Weltzin counted nine bites. � e biggest gouge was on her le� calf and measured about 1 cm across by two-and-a-half cm long.

� ere was another cut on her le� thigh, one on her right leg, plus another six bites.

When her le� � nger was bitten as she tried to fend o� the otter, she checked to make sure she hadn’t lost part of it, said Weltzin, who was le� reel-ing a� er the attack, but avoids dwelling on other, potentially worse outcomes.

� e COs told her they contacted the Coast Guard, which relayed back it gets one or two otter attack reports each year, but they typically bite just once and swim away.

Conservation O� cer Len Butler said otter attacks are rare in B.C., but some bites have been reported on Vancouver Island.

His “best guess” is the otters were protecting their pups, but as none were found, he added it may have been a territorial defence of the lake’s high minnow population.

“We can’t give you an explanation of why they did this, but it’s got to be a territorial thing.

“I think she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the otters obviously felt threatened. – Carole Rooney is a reporter with the 100 Mile Free Press, a

sister paper to the Cloverdale Reporter.
