Resident recovering from otter attack

As many as nine bites.

By Carole Rooney Cloverdale’s Thersa 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 humanaquatic life conflict.

Weltzin was visiting in-laws at their cabin when she went for a swim to cool off 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 bitten 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.”

This worried her, so she stopped and watched as the otter then ducked under the surface just off to her right.

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

School bucks the Tidal wave of farm support enrolment trend From front

Classrooms to spare at Port Kells Elementary School

By Jennifer Lang One of Surrey’s best kept secrets may not remain that way for much longer. While its closest neighbours are once again at student capacity, cosy Port Kells Elementary has classrooms to spare.

With student enrolment “hovering at 100,” Principal Tess Souder says her school is in a unique situation 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 unusual.”

Because of its rural setting at 19076 88 Avenue, Port Kells Elementary has one of the largest catchment areas in the Surrey School District, Souder said.

There is presently room for new students in all divisions.

Monday (Aug. 26), Port Kells Elementary welcomes the public to an open house starting at 6:30 p.m. Parents 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 preschool.

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 parents 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 opposite,” 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 department acting as a learning valuable resource for some of the classes.

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

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 tidal wave of support.

He later realized the voicemail message box was full, and he’d actually 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 packing 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 weeding the pumpkin rows and begin harvesting potatoes later this week.

Going forward, the farm will need additional volunteers Saturdays and Wednesdays.

Volunteers will receive free produce in return for their labour.

Food bank recipients who volunteer 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 individuals, food banks and charitable organizations. 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 Saturday 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 jasssignh65@hotmail.com.

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

Food waste rant an affront Eating contests don’t detract from the myriad good works done by the world’s food agencies To the editor; Re: “Eating contests are an affront to the world’s starving people,” Aug. 15.

Dick Hulls’ rant about eating contests demands some kind of response as it is only subjective in nature and only appears to be an affront to him.

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

Perhaps this appears wasteful to him, however, to others it is exactly 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 myriad 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 Salvation Army is doing an outstanding 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

To the editor

Small town support

To the editor; I would like to thank the good Samaritan who called the ambulance when I fell on Inkman Road (in Agassiz) on Friday, July 26.

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. Thanks again to the person who called the ambulance and the ambulance drivers and the doctor and nurses at the Hope hospital. I even got

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

There 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 supported 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.

lunch at the Hope hospital.

There is a lesson here. Elderly people should always have water when they walk in hot weather. I was trying to be 27 instead of 67.

Thank goodness I live in a small town, where people still care about each other.

“You get to my age and you think, if I don’t do it, nobody will see it.”

- James McWilliams 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 monthlong hospital stay.

He passed the time reading military adventure novels, like C.S. Forster’s The Gun, about the Spanish 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 typewriter.

“I was just doing it for fun.”

He eventually wrote seven novels, he says, admitting, “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 adventures as soldiers, sailors, and spies.

McWilliams published The Black War-Bonnet and The Fugitives last November. He wore a traditional 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, historical details that pepper his tales of MacHugh,

Writing combines his interests in music and history

From page 5

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

Writing, he says, combines his consuming interests: Celtic music, bagpipes, and military history.

McWilliams, who started playing bagpipes 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 Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts in the Qu’appelle Valley, which operated from 1967 to 1991, offering students instruction in visual arts, drama, music and writing.

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

LADNER

“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 revelations 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, traveling 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 conducted 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 selfpublished.

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 MacDonald 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 waiting.”

Wildlife welcome With large snakes grabbing headlines lately, a local exotic animal rescue facility’s open house offers a welcome opportunity. 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, mistreated or surrendered by their owners.

The event features a giant garage sale, barbecue, face painting, and other surprises. 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.

For more, call 604-299-6963 or email info@cinemazoo.com.

Mespilus 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 first 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 flavour resembles a spicy, rich, cinnamon apple sauce. Delicious.

Great for jam or chutneys as well as a tasty medlar cheese.

By Kristine Salzmann What has motivated Ryan Hewgill to leap, climb, scramble, swing and sweat his way through downtown Vancouver later next month?

Family, for one. Personal drive is another.

The Cloverdale resident has signed up for Concrete Hero, an urban obstacle course that will benefit 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, organizers 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 opportunity 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 intimidating.

“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 challenged than you.”

While this is the first Concrete Hero in Vancouver, 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.

A 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, caregiver support group that meets once a month, giving 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 education coordinator for the Cloverdale area.

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

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 difference 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 rpuszka@alzheimerbc. org.

Theresa Weltzin of Cloverdale was swimming in Greeny Lake on Aug. 1 when she was attacked by otters. At least one otter bit her repeatedly for about five minutes, until her screams alerted her brother-in-law and nephew, who went out by boat and rescued her.

Otter bites rare: C.O. says ‘It’s got to be a territorial thing. The otters obviously felt threatened’ From page one

son following in a rowboat, reaching her about five 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.”

The animal then swam away toward the east end of the lake, and Theresa was pulled back to shore by hanging on to the kayak, and taken to the emergency room at 100 Mile District General Hospital for treatment of her numerous wounds.

A Conservation Officer was notified and attended 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 antibiotics 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 consulted and determined that rabies infection was “so unlikely” she didn’t need the vaccine.

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

There was another cut on her left thigh, one on her right leg, plus another six bites.

Traffic map taps cell signals A new online traffic map for the Lower Mainland has been unveiled that anonymously tracks cellphone signals to calculate and display congestion levels in real time.

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

The map is on the translink.ca and drivebc.ca websites. It was developed by TransLink and the $1.2

Fortunately, her finger wasn’t bitten off.

When her left finger was bitten as she tried to fend off the otter, she checked to make sure she hadn’t lost part of it, said Weltzin, who was left reeling after the attack, but avoids dwelling on other, potentially worse outcomes.

The 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 Officer 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.

million cost was shared by the federal and provincial governments.

Major arteries are colour coded, with red indicating very slow traffic and green showing it’s moving smoothly.

It’s also expected to help various agencies study traffic flows in Metro Vancouver.

The 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.
