Cyclist appeals for help finding shooterMario [email protected]

A Burnaby cyclist who was shot in the arm as he pedalled along Highway 1 early June 1 is appealing for information that would help find the gunman.

Craig Premack, 54, was on the return leg of the Cache Creek 600, a long-distance cycling event put on by the BC Randonneurs, when he was shot. He’d just returned to the road at about 1 a.m. after a meal break and three-hour nap in Spences Bridge.

Premack was riding alone at the time, his Willier road bike festooned with lights to guide his way and alert passing motorists of his presence on the road.

He said his ride was going well until he was surprised by the sound of explosions next to him.

“I thought they were firecrackers,” he said.

But then his right forearm “blew up” and he felt blood trickling down to his leg.

Noel Ouellette looked up at the sleek steel and glass condo tower rising above Nelson Avenue and shouted, “What do we want? Affordable housing! When do we want it? Now!”

Ouellette and about a dozen other members of the anti-poverty advocacy group ACORN rallied across from The Met condo project Tuesday to voice their displeasure with gentrification in Burnaby that is replacing affordable old walk-up

rental apartment buildings with pricey new concrete condos.

Even a tradesman from the project put down his tools for a few minutes and jogged across the street to commiserate with the protestors—he’s about to lose his own home to a new development.

Monica McGovern, the chair of ACORN’s Burnaby branch, said her little gathering is the flip side of the lineups of eager investors and

homeowners that wind around the block to snap up units in the new towers.

“What’s happening with all these high towers they’re building, in some cases they’re tearing down affordable rental

housing,” said McGovern. “They’re building huge high-rises

and the prices of them will be way beyond the means of most people.”

Prices for The Met’s 295 units

range from $279,900 to $700,000. The image to market the building

to passersby on Nelson shows a marble lobby with a white grand piano flanking a concierge desk.

The building is just one of a number of projects being built or planned for the Metrotown area, including new towers along Beresford and a major redevelopment of the old Station Square shopping centre that will eventually comprise five new condo towers soaring as high as 57 storeys.

15th annual event on Aug. 9 at Deer Lake ParkWanda [email protected]

As Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow tells it, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival was born at a hot air balloon festival in Gatineau, Que.

It was 1999 and at the time it was still a sister city to Burnaby. Volkow and the late former mayor Doug Drummond were part of a delegation visiting Gatineau and its annual week-long hot air balloon festival, the second-largest in North America.

On a stage, “a young Jonny Lang comes out and he’s playing away,” he recalled. “So I looked at Doug and I said, ‘You know, we could do something like this.’

“Doug said, ‘When I get back, we’re going to make that happen.’ ”

Like many municipalities, Burnaby was looking at ways to mark the millennium. The festival became part of those celebrations in the summer of 2000 and has been going ever since.

The 15th annual Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival returns to Deer Lake Park on Saturday, Aug. 9 from 1 to 10 p.m. This year’s headliners include Big Sugar, Matt Andersen and the MelloTones, Bettye LaVette, Imelda May and Wide Mouth

Mason.Denis Nokony, Burnaby’s assistant

director of cultural services, was part of the team that put together that first festival in four to five months.

That year’s headliner was Robert Cray, and since then it’s showcased many emerging talents that have gone on to

bigger success, such as Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and Matt Andersen.

The festival has grown from six acts in 2000 to an even dozen this year, and from two stages to three. A few years ago the niche audience was broadened somewhat when roots music was added to the bill.

“Burnaby has become the place to go

for blues and roots in British Columbia,” Nokony said.

As for the event’s financial footing, he said, “overall we’re happy with meeting our targets.” He noted that all the summer concerts that happen at Deer Lake help to subsidize each other and keep ticket prices reasonable.

Volkow credits the blues festival with showcasing Deer Lake Park as a live concert venue. While over the years it hosted the occasional one-off shows such as the Beach Boys, Moody Blues and soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, the blues festival put it on the map.

“It opened up the venue to a lot of people that may not have known it existed.”

When Volkow attends this year, as always he’ll miss his good friend and fellow blues fan, Doug Drummond.

“Doug loved that event. If it wasn’t for Doug being the mayor and thinking it was a good idea, I don’t think it ever would’ve happened.”

Tickets for this year’s Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival are $50 in advance, $180 for a pack of four, and $65 on the day of show.

Realizing he’d been shot, Premack pedalled faster to get away from whoever was attacking him in the darkness. He said he saw a dark-coloured vehicle leave a highway pull-out near where he’d been shot.

Premack pulled off the road to survey his injuries. He said he couldn’t believe what had happened.

“It was almost like a bad dream,” he said. “My goodness, I’ve been shot. I was worried. I was wondering if this was the end.”

Premack said he shook off his initial shock and fashioned a tourniquet from a pair of pants to slow the bleeding from his

arm. A short while later another group of cyclists participating in the event found him. One of them rode back to Spences Bridge to get help.

Insp. Ed Boettcher of the RCMP’s “E” Division said the attack was “brazen” and “unprovoked.”

“We’re fortunate to be talking about a shooting and not a homicide,” he told a news conference on Tuesday.

Boettcher said the shooting appeared to be a random event but investigators are eager to talk to two men in a dark-coloured pick-up truck

who reportedly threw objects at cyclists as they drove past them earlier in the day.

He wouldn’t say what kind of weapon may have been used in the attack.

Premack said his ride had been uneventful until he was shot. He didn’t even know about the harassment incident until Tuesday’s press conference.

A veteran of many long distance cycling events, Premack said such an unprovoked attack is rare.

“Things will happen, but generally people are good,” he said.

The bullet shattered bones in his right forearm

just below the elbow. He spent the night in hospital in Ashcroft before being sent to Vancouver

for surgery. A series of plates holds the arm together until the bones can heal.

Premack said he’s still weeks from getting back on the road and he’s unable to work. In the meantime, he stays in shape pedalling a stationary bike set up in front of his television.

“I will ride again, there’s no doubt,” he said. “I don’t think this is going to happen to me twice.”

• RCMP are asking anyone with more information about the shooting or the harassment incidents earlier that day to contact the Lytton detachment at 1-250-455-2255 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERBurnaby councillor Nick Volkow had a vision to make the lawn at the Shadbolt Centre an annual gathering place for blues fans and Denis Nokony, the city’s assistant director of cultural services helped make it happen with the first Burnaby Blues Festival in 2000.

Two doors south of The Met, excavation work has begun on The Park, another condo tower.

Sandwiched in between is a squat three-storey wood frame walk-up apartment building with a vacancy sign posted on the front lawn.

McGovern said when some of her members are forced out of their homes to make way for new development, they have to leave Burnaby.

“It’s not just the housing they’re losing,” said McGovern.

“They’re losing their communities.”

McGovern said the redevelopment of established affordable neighbourhoods has accelerated in recent years as builders take advantage of programs to increase density in exchange for financing community enhancements like new parks or seniors centres.

And as new towers sprout from the midst of the wood frame rental buildings, landlords are neglecting to invest money to maintain their units, hoping to cash in when developers come knocking on their door to acquire property for their next project.

“It makes it easy for landlords to just let things go,” said McGovern.

“It’s not fair.”She said all levels of

government need to work together to come up with solutions that will allow low and moderate income people to stay in their homes, and in their communities.

“There has to be other housing built for low income people,” she said.

Author Graeme Truelove will read from his recently published biography of Svend Robinson at the Bob Prittie library on Thursday, Aug. 7.

Truelove first met Robinson when he volunteered in his Ottawa office while studying political science at the University of Ottawa.

For his book, he interviewed the former Member of Parliament for Burnaby-Douglas a number of times and was even granted access to his personal archives. Truelove also talked to family members, friends, colleagues and political foes.

During his 25-year political career Robinson was an outspoken defender of human rights. He was arrested for blocking loggers from clear-cutting trees in Clayoquot Sound and assaulted by police while protesting at the 2001 Summit of the Americas.

Robinson was also Canada’s first openly gay MP. But a fall from an 18-metre high cliff while he was hiking on Gabriola Island on New Year’s Eve, 1997, began a downward spiral that included shoplifting a ring from a hotel ballroom near the Vancouver Airport in 2004. A few days later he turned himself into the RCMP and less than a week later announced he wouldn’t be seeking the NDP nomination for his riding in the next election.

A comeback attempt two years later when he ran against Liberal Hedy Fry in her Vancouver-Centre riding fizzled. Robinson retreated into private life with his partner Max Riveron.

They now live in Geneva, Switzerland where Robinson works for The Global Fund, an international NGO.

Truelove’s reading runs 7-8:30 p.m. The event is free but registration is required. For information, or to register, go to www.bpl.bc.ca.

Graeme Truelove will host a reading at the Bob Prittie library branch at Metrotown on Aug. 7.

Burnaby RCMP are still looking for a Simon Fraser University student who went missing seven years ago.

Asim Chaudhry was 24 when he was last seen by his two brothers July 20, 2007. He said he was heading to the Burnaby Mountain campus to study for an upcoming exam. His mother reported him missing the next day.

While police have followed up leads in the years since Chaudhry disappeared, they’ve yet to locate him. Chaudhry is South Asian, six-foot-two, 140 pounds with brown eyes. When he disappeared he had short

curly black hair and a full black beard. He was wearing dark grey sweat pants and glasses.

Anyone with any information about Chaudhry is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP missing persons unit or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477).

A pair of mysterious spills that turned Byrne Creek a milky white colour on Monday and Tuesday has a local streamkeeper concerned.

Paul Cipywnyk said he was alerted about the first spill Monday afternoon. When he went to investigate he found the water running through the new fish ladder below Griffiths Drive had turned almost white.

And while a walk further downstream turned up no dead or distressed fish, Cipywnyk said, “any kind of sediment getting into the creek isn’t good.”

The cloudiness cleared later in the day, but it turned murky again on Tuesday.

Christine Ensing, the City of Burnaby’s fisheries habitat and environmental services officer, said the spills were traced to a broken irrigation pipe on private property. In addition, a water main break last week affected waterways throughout the city.

She said both problems have been rectified, but Byrne Creek was still murky on Wednesday.

“It’s unfortunate for the fish, but it happens sometimes,” she said.

Cipywnyk hopes the spills serve as a reminder that anything that gets washed off city streets or poured

down storm drains eventually ends up in waterways like Byrne Creek. And that’s often to the detriment of the fish streamkeepers who have been working for more than 16 years to re-establish the sensitive habitat.

“It does get somewhat discouraging,” said Cipywnyk

of having to investigate spills into the creek. “People have no idea of the impact their actions have. They’re

in a hurry or they don’t know better. They’re just happy it’s gone.”

Cipywnyk said streamkeepers’ efforts may have dodged a bullet this time, as most of the eggs laid in the streambed have already hatched and the young fish are likely making their way to the Fraser River.

But for those who lingered, “it’s hard for them to get away

from events like this,” said Cipywnyk. “There aren’t many places of refuge.”

Cipywnyk said Byrne Creek’s passage through a busy urban corridor is a dual-edged sword.

It’s vulnerable to all kinds of abuse, from people washing their cars and letting the soapy water run into storm drains to runoff from construction sites to the careless disposal of toxic substances by businesses. But with people almost always walking along the network of trails that flank the creek, spills are quickly reported.

Signs along the trails encourage people spotting a spill to call the city’s environmental emergency hotline at 604-294-7200 that is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Cipywnyk said the education process is never-ending.

“It’s an issue of connection,” he said. “If you don’t have the connection to the environment, it’s out of sight, out of mind.”

A week-long visit to California was a great experience, primarily because the main purpose of the trip was to attend my son’s wedding in San Francisco.

The city is truly one of the most beautiful in the world and it is a wonderful locale for a special event.

San Francisco brings in a lot of tourists.

The city’s major attractions were packed with people from all over the world, and there was no better place to hear a multiplicity of languages than in one of the lineups to board the cable cars.

Many people gladly stood in line to board the famous cars for more than an hour, and the long wait seemed to be part of the fun.

San Francisco, with its cool and often-foggy weather, is an anomaly in California.

It gets rain regularly, albeit not too much at this time of year, and temperatures are moderate.

Travelling to other parts of the state reveal a different set of circumstances.

It is hot and extremely dry. Many areas have received

almost no rain for the past three years.

The central San Joaquin valley, where a wide variety of agricultural crops for export all over North America are grown, is coping with terrible drought and many farmers have had to cut back on the acreage they have planted, simply because there is so little water available for irrigation.

Everywhere you go, there are reminders of the need for water conservation.

Low-flow toilets, sinks with automatic shut-offs and many other innovations are widespread.

There is some talk of major

fines for breaking water conservation rules, although I am uncertain if much of that has come to pass.

I heard one story about a business that will paint people’s lawns green, so they can at least have the illusion of green grass.

It’s a bit puzzling why that is so important, yet I realize we live in an area where grass never stays brown for long. We can count on rain.

California is the most-populated state in the U.S., with a population which is larger than Canada’s.

Its gross domestic product makes it the eighth- or ninth-largest economy in the world. It is the state that millions of people are anxious to move to. The number one destination for refugees fleeing into the United States from Central America is California.

The overall sense I got during our short visit there is that, without water, that type of growth is simply unsustainable.

There is clearly a major water crisis in most of the state.

Many people understand that and have reduced their use of water.

State and local governments also get it, and are bringing in regulations and doing things differently, attempting to address the issue.

But even if the rains come back on a more regular basis, much of the state will remain dry.

It has a hot climate, and much of the area where crops are grown, and where people live by the millions, is desert.

It is a good reminder why water conservation is important — just as important as using fossil fuels as sparingly as possible.

It also foreshadows the distinct possibility of extensive pressure on B.C. and other areas of the west coast for widespread water exports in the future.

Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times.

California visit an eye-opener

Did TransLink fail to plan for two major disruptions on SkyTrain last month?

Or was it a case of learning lessons that can only be learned when things really run awry?

Regardless of where one stands, it’s good news that TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis is seeking outside counsel to ensure they’re better prepared in the future.

As Jarvis himself has admitted, shutdowns will occur again, and changes are needed to ensure they are managed effectively.

Any organization as large as TransLink must have detailed plans for emergencies and major disruptions, and ensure that employees understand how to carry them out.

It was unusual to have two major failures so close together, first on July 17 with a computer system control failure, then on July 21 when the power was knocked out.

That second event stopped trains for five hours with commuters scrambling for other options and people on trains left to cool their heels. The lack of a working PA system left many passengers in an information vacuum, and anxious riders shoved doors open and risked a walk on the elevated guideways.

Jarvis has brought in someone with the right credentials for the review.

Gary McNeil, retired former CEO of Toronto’s commuter rail and bus system, was also involved in the planning, design, construction and startup of our the Expo Line from 1982-86.

He’ll look at what changes are needed to existing processes and whether TransLink should consider investing in more backup systems.

Implementing his recommendations will no doubt mean added costs.

But the value of a more reliable system should not be underestimated, in terms of quality of life, public faith and productivity for commuters.

Regulators dash hopes of waste-to-energy critics

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Opponents of Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy strategy have been dealt a blow by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

Regulators there have approved an electricity purchase agreement that will see BC Hydro pay $43 per megawatt-hour for power from Metro’s existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby.

Critics had argued Metro’s garbage-fueled electricity can’t count as clean and renewable under provincial law and therefore should be worth much less – closer to the $24 spot price for power exported to the U.S.

The aim of incineration opponents was to blow a hole not just in the revenue from the existing plant but also in the business case for a future new waste-to-energy plant, which Metro Vancouver has assumed will earn around $100 per megawatt-hour.

But the utilities commission decided air pollution concerns raised by the Fraser Valley Regional District were “not relevant” in okaying the contract renewal and made no finding on whether the incinerator counts as clean, green power.

It concluded the negotiated price between BC Hydro and incinerator operator Covanta Energy appropriately reflects the cost of power generation plus a reasonable return.

The $24 spot market price wasn’t an appropriate comparison, the commission said, because it doesn’t apply to electricity that is firm (incinerator power is always on, unlike wind farms) or guaranteed in large volumes for many years.

BC Hydro said the $43 contract price is well below its long-term cost of building new generating capacity of $85 to $100 per megawatt-hour and still attractive compared to

the $51 it would pay for non-clean natural gas-fired power.

Metro’s existing incinerator burns 280,000 tonnes of garbage per year, while a new one at a yet-to-be-determined location would take an additional 370,000 tonnes.

Critics of Metro’s strategy had argued BC Hydro will be blocked from paying a premium price for the new incinerator’s electricity, making the project a financial flop, or at least uncompetitive compared to continued landfilling.

Estimates of the capital cost of a new incinerator run as high as $517 million.

Metro Vancouver senior engineer Chris Allan said the BCUC decision wasn’t surprising because it was a renewal of a contract to buy power from an existing source, not for a new one.

Russ Black, vice-president of Cache Creek landfill operator Belkorp Environmental, still predicts Metro won’t get a premium price based on green power for the new incinerator because the regional district

admitted during the proceedings that 40 per cent of the energy from garbage comes from non-renewable sources like plastics, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

“We’ve laid the foundation for the fight in the future,” he said.

But even an unfavourable power price from Hydro may still not be the silver bullet critics hope would unravel Metro’s plans.

“Not every technology is reliant on selling electricity,” said Metro board chair Greg Moore, noting the new plant might sell little to no power into the grid and instead pipe steam to a district heating system or an industrial user.

He noted one of the waste-to-energy project bidders is a Delta cement plant that has no plans to sell to Hydro at all.

“You’ve got Lehigh Cement that makes cement and they want to replace coal and rubber tires with municipal solid waste as fuel.”

Safety Tip:Crashes involving driver fatigue peak in the summer, due in part to hot weather and long road trips. Get enough rest before you head out. If you feel drowsy, pull over safely and take a nap. The

only cure for drowsiness is sleep – it’s better to arrive late than not at all.

Question of the WeekThe posted speed limit has been raised by 10 km/h on many major highways in B.C. If you have driven some of those stretches, have you found cars passing you beyond the raised limit?

Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle carPortland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key?The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key…This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harness-ing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful produc-tion muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect.But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed auto-matic.Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I

have access to all 707 horsepower and I’m at the Portland International Race-way. I’d say this will be a heavenly day.With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on.According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driv-er-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver informa-tion display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard

on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving.Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot.But the heart of the Chal-lenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger.When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options. There are four.

Here’s the skinny: 1) A 3.6L, Pentastar V6 producing 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque2) A 5.7L, V8 HEMI with 372 horse-power (with the 8-speed automatic) 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque with the 6-speed manual3) A 6.4L, V8 HEMI with 485 horse-power and 475 lb-ft of torqueLast but not least,4) A supercharged 6.2L, V8 HEMI with 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.All engines except the V6s can be paired with a manual or an automatic. The V6s only come with the 8-speed automatic. Again, no matter what you choose, you’ll come out singing. Back to the road.Having tested all four models – with

different packages – the thing that stood out the most to me is how good of a car it actually is. Even on a quaint suburban drive through a national park where speed limits were posted at 35 mph, I was impressed with its road manners. And considering I had almost 485 horsepower (with the 6.4L engine), it was as docile as a lethargic lion, yet ready to pounce when the opportunity presented itself.Both track time and road time added to the

multi-dimensional admiration for the two-door.Sure, visibility isn’t ideal. The C pillars are huge and cut into sightlines when looking rearward. The rear seats don’t offer a ton of legroom – especially for the individual stuck in the middle – but heck, it does have room for five.Fuel economy, well, you’re not buying this car for its estimated numbers! That’s for sure.But it does offer an emotional experi-ence. It turns heads and is sexy as hell.Even the V6 on the track did a bang up job. And with a starting MSRP of $28,995, the Canadian-built Challenger is up to the task, will kick butts, and take names. All at the same time.Visit www.dodge.ca for more details.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

By Kerry Vital

In Vancouver’s thriving real estate market, buyers are fi nding innovative ways to purchase their dream home. One of them is investing in a property in a growing area, allowing the original buyer to either rent out the home or sell it at a premium as the neighbourhood becomes more popular.

“With a growing population and increasingly high demand for real estate, the reality of what’s aff ordable and the dream

location don’t always match,” says Shaadi Faris, vice-president of Intergulf Development Group. “Purchasing an aff ordable investment property in an emerging area is a means for more fi rst-time buyers to get a leg-up in the market and work towards buying their ideal home in a more desirable location sooner.”

He cites the growing boom in real estate opportunities in Burnaby’s Metrotown as an example of buyers choosing to purchase in a vibrant area close to transit and education that

will get them a return on their investment when they choose to sell or rent out the property.

“Buyers are becoming very savvy,” he says. “Th ey want to know the price per square foot, what the strata fees are. Th ey want to know what the opportunities are to build their investment.”

However, Faris points out that the amenities and features of a home can’t be ignored.

“People have to actually want to live there,” he says.Faris has seen a diff erence in the kind of buyer as well.“It’s a more mature condo market now,” he says. “People are

more sophisticated in understanding the lingo and the product, and it’s imperative that there’s no wasted space, because every cent counts. Buyers are looking with that level of detail now; it’s not always an emotional purchase. Th ere’s too much on the line.”

Intergulf has seen an increase in just such an interested buyer at their project Th e Park Metrotown, which is located right in the heart of the area and will have the access to transit and education at BCIT and SFU that buyers are looking for.

“People know that it’s a smart place to invest,” Faris says.

Investing in the real estate market a focus for buyers

Ikonik Homes has a reputation for exceptional quality and innovative design. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to the South Surrey neighbourhood with Jacobsen. A recent Greater Vancouver Home Builders’

Association Ovation Award winner, Jacobsen is a special development.

“Th e design of this community is diff erent and unique to the South Surrey market,” says project marketing manager Brandon Trent. “Th ese are West Coast contemporary-style homes.”

Th e 65 townhomes, ranging in size between 1,734 and 2,219 square feet in a variety of three- and four-bedroom fl oorplans, have serious curb appeal with their elegant cedar plank siding, stonework, black metal railings, fl oor-to-ceiling windows and generous patios and private yards. Each home has a side-by-

side double-car garage, adding even more convenience for homeowners. Some homes have extra space for two more cars to park in the driveway.

“Th ese homes feel like a single-family home,” says Trent.

Inside, natural light pours in through those large windows and fi lls the space to the airy 10’ ceilings. Select homes have stunning views of the Coast Mountains. Wood laminate fl ooring throughout the main living areas is complemented by lush Beaulieu designer nylon carpeting in the bedrooms.

Th e kitchens are fi t for any aspiring chef,

with stainless-steel appliances, distinctive quartz countertops complemented by a tile backsplash and deluxe cabinetry in either contemporary or shaker style.

Th e luxurious ensuite bathroom holds a spacious walk-in shower and porcelain tile fl ooring, while the main bathroom features a deep soaker tub, quartz countertops and chic sconce lighting.

Th e location is one of Jacobsen’s fi nest features. It is located just moments from everything at Th e Shops at Morgan Crossing, as well as leisure and recreation opportunities and the convenience of commuting via Highway 99 or Highway 1. On-site, residents will have exclusive access to a 2,400-square-foot clubhouse, with an exercise studio, theatre room, lounge area, fi re pit and children’s play area, among other things. Residents will have easy access to Morgan Heights Linear Park via a walking trail that connects the community.

Homes at Jacobsen start at $469,900. For more information, visit www.jacobsenliving.com, call 604-538-5591 or stop by the sales centre at #1-2687 158th Street, open daily (except Friday) between noon and 5 p.m.

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?

Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check.

Grandma and Grandpa, who better?

Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren't you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don't hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn't going downhill?

The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don't tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.

If your child's babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don't have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult's hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn't agree to if they understood what the child said.

Before heading out for that weekend, consider this:

General Child CareA 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn't talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-year-old grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.”

If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone for a complimentary hearing evaluation. Our practitioners have many years of experience helping people hear better. We can even arrange to do the evaluation and the hearing aid fitting in the comfort and convenience of your home.
