Increased use of Burnaby Lake since dredging completed

Wanda [email protected]

With the $22-million dredging complete, increasing Burnaby Lake’s ability to host regattas, the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club is looking at improvements to the facility.

But Mayor Derek Corrigan cautioned a delegation from the group, at a recent council meeting, not to propose anything that might have adverse environmental impacts, or which would not involve financial support from the federal government.

“Burnaby Lake is a gem for rowing and kayaking and water sports. It’s a gem that you folks have uncovered as a result of the dredging,” Peter Klinkow of the rowing club told council. “Now is the time for us to polish up that gem and tell the world about it.”

Organized rowing started on the lake in the 1930s and was highlighted by its use during the 1973 Canada Summer Games. The last major competition held there was in 1989 as it started to get filled in by sediment.

It is currently used by the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club, Burnaby Canoe and Kayak Club, the Rowing Canada’s National Development Centre, and the Simon Fraser University Rowing Club.

Over the years the lake has been home to more than 50 Olympic and world champions in rowing and paddling, Klinkow said.

By the end of the year the lake will have hosted several competitions, and the rowing club hopes to increase its ability to do that.

When it hosted the Cascadia Masters

regatta, it saw 425 competitors, half of them from the U.S., come to Burnaby, he said. The event attracted almost double the number of rowers it had previously because

the rowing community had heard about the lake post-dredging and wanted to check it out.

The club aims to help draw sports tourism to Burnaby, leveraging the city’s investment in the lake, and to start up learn-to-row programs with local schools, he said.

“At the end of the day we are the only venue of this type in Canada.”

Klinkow said the club was looking for the city’s support and expertise in identifying and soliciting corporate and other funding sources, as well as in developing plans for the facility.

It’s looking to add a short dock to allow more boats to be launched for regattas, more storage space for boats, and wheelchair accessibility for the docks so it can start adaptive programs for people with disabilities. It would also like to reconfigure the space to provide more separation between rowers and spectators, to prevent people from accidentally getting hit by the boats—Olympic-sized ones can be 65 feet long—as they’re moved down to the docks.

It also needs to replace the grandstands

which are, “shall we say, at the bare minimum, a bit tired and eventually will have to come down,” Klinkow said.

Corrigan agreed that the lake is ideal for rowing and other water sports, but stressed the importance of its environmental aspects. The money was spent to dredge the lake to ensure it was preserved for the waterfowl and other wildlife that use it as habitat and nesting areas, he said.

“Do not bring ideas to this council that will have any detrimental impact to the ecology of our lake, because that is a non-starter,” Corrigan said.

He noted that the city would have liked to have done more comprehensive dredging but was limited by its funding, shared between the city and province, after the federal government chose not to participate.

He gave credit to former premier Gordon Campbell for following through with his commitment to fund $10 million of the project.

And while Ottawa likes to take credit for Olympic programs, Corrigan said, it’s absent when it comes time to funding training facilities.

“I challenge you to bring the federal government to the table. If they’re not there it’s unlikely any of this is going to end up being very successful, even if you can get corporate sponsors and cooperation from the city and provincial participation.”

Ottawa must be involved if Burnaby Lake is to become a national training facility.

“The federal government has to see this as worthwhile for us to be able to make it go,” Corrigan said.

“And then I think the sky’s the limit on how big we can dream and what we can accomplish together. It’s just a question of us being able to do it.”

Council approved a motion to have city parks and recreation staff have ongoing discussions with the club to look into the feasibility of improvements to the facility.

“It proves it’s possible,” says Jayme. “A lot of people are sacrificing to make this happen, and this honours that sacrifice.”

So far the 27,000 square foot gym is on budget and on schedule thanks to economical construction techniques like the tipped wall slabs and recycling the concrete base of the old gym as fill. When savings are realized in one area, they’re invested back into the project, like a top-of-the-line sprung

hardwood floor.Jayme says it’s hoped the

scoreboard will be similarly upgraded to something beyond a basic clock.

Along the way, the school’s athletic coaches have been consulted to ensure the facility meets their needs. For instance, the original plan to put locker rooms on two levels was revised when the coaches said it would be easier to supervise the area if they were all on one level.

To help get the votes that will

put them amongst the 90 semi-finalists, emails are being sent to all alumni and their families. There will also be a computer set up for casting votes at the school’s Homecoming celebration on Oct. 12.

“Every vote counts, every message sent on Facebook counts,” says Jayme.

Ball hockey taking toll on wood floor

⫸ continued from FRONT PAGE

‘Every vote counts’ for grant

scheduled maintenance in 2013 before the next lacrosse season;

and the tournament organizers would schedule only younger and smaller U11 and U13 teams to play at

Copeland to limit the impact on the floor.

Arena staff photographed the condition of the floor weekly from the beginning of May to the start of the tournament and immediately after the tournament to document the impact of ball hockey, the report said. After two seasons and 635 hours of lacrosse, it has many scuffs and dents.

The ball hockey users added scuff marks and indentations.

While arena staff removed the scuff marks with a thorough cleaning, the indentations will be minimized or removed when the “re-screening” maintenance is done in 2013, which involves lightly sanding the floor and recoating it with a liquid sealant.

If any permanent

dents remain after that, staff may need to replace a panel, of which spares were supplied when the floor was purchased.

“Unfortunately, vandalism occurred during the Western Challenge Cup when a name was scratched into the floor,” said the report. When Metro Minor Ball Hockey were notified, “they were very concerned and immediately

followed up with the teams participating in the tournament to track down the source of the vandalism.”

They also offered to pay the cost of the repair. “Staff are confident that the damage will disappear when the re-screening is done.”

Regular use of the wooden floor for ball hockey is not recommended “at this time” as there is

enough demand from lacrosse organizations.

“However, if in the future the facility is required to host an exceptional ball hockey event, and potential damage is mitigated by the ball hockey organization to the satisfaction of staff, and the event does not unduly compromise the facility’s use by other users, then staff can re-assess this position,” said the report.

Westridge resident will recount personal impact of 2007 spillWanda [email protected]

Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE) hosts its first town hall meeting on Oct. 10 to raise awareness of its concerns about the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline.

And while members of the recently-formed group debated over whether to invite Kinder Morgan Canada to send a representative, in the end they didn’t.

“We figured Richard Kinder has enough money, he can do his own advertising,” said Karl Perrin, a BROKE spokesperson, referring to the parent company’s CEO and chairman.

“Because our name is Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion, so we’re not trying to fool anybody. We are opposed.”

The group, whose members and supporters number

about 50, was started initially by residents of Westridge, the North Burnaby neighbourhood where Kinder Morgan’s pipeline was ruptured by an excavator in 2007.

“They bonded to some extent because of the disaster in 2007 with oil in their neighbourhood,” Perrin said. “When they heard about the expansion, they thought, ‘wait a minute, we’ve got to do something about it.’”

The pipeline runs from Edmonton to Burnaby and the proposed expansion would increase its capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 750,000 bpd to allow for increased exports of bitumen crude oil from the Alberta oil sands to overseas markets.

BROKE members did some door-to-door canvassing a month ago, Perrin said. “Pretty well everyone had heard about it and pretty well everyone was opposed.”

The group’s concerns largely revolve around the proposal’s potential impact

on the environment. Increased tanker traffic would increase the likelihood of an oil spill in Burrard Inlet and the diluted bitumen is much more difficult to clean up than regular crude, he said. That, and the potential for local properties to be expropriated for the project.

Speakers at the town hall will include Mayor Derek Corrigan, Burnaby-Douglas NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, Rueben George of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation, Sven Biggs of Tanker Free BC and/or Ben West of the Wilderness Committee.

BROKE member Mary Hatch will also speak about her experience having her Westridge home sprayed by oil in 2007, from the firefighter knocking on her door telling her to evacuate to the years of disruption during the remediation.

The town hall will be held Wednesday, Oct. 1, 7 p.m. at Confederation Seniors Centre, 4585 Albert St., Burnaby (near Willingdon Avenue).

There’s a woman who stands on the corner of Rumble Street and Gray Avenue.

She’s there in her hot pink top for a couple of hours a day. She stares at the traffic on Rumble and makes eye contact with the drivers. They slow down, take a look. Sometimes they stop.

Judy is a crossing guard for the Burnaby School District, (What were you thinking?) and enjoys her job. She’s a CUPE worker, on the job for 10 years. In that time she has never seen an accident—a lot of close calls, but no pedestrian accidents.

She has seen dead skunks, coyotes, and family pets. She has seen litter thrown from vehicles, speeding drivers, and distracted pedestrians (texting) as they cross the street. She has seen cars pull out on the right to get around a car turning left, spitting gravel as they swerve past. There are the U-turners in front of the daycare, and people jaywalking with toddlers. There are fender benders, and cars crossing Rumble who beep at her to push the crosswalk button for them!

Judy likes the children and

gets to know them over the years as they go to and from school. This is a bonus for both. She sees them grow and mature, they benefit from her watchful eye. It’s good to have a person on the street every day, keeping track of comings and goings. She’s not a tattletale—holding hands, smoking, and junk food after school are not her business to mention. Safety is her focus.

Judy presses the walk button to slow down the bus if someone is running to catch it. She holds onto dropped scarves and mittens, and lost field trip notices, and she is rewarded by thank-yous, a home-baked muffin, Halloween treats, and sometimes a card or small gift at Christmas. It is a rewarding job.

But few children walk to school today. Most are driven and dropped at the door. Parents

are concerned about safety and schedules over responsibility and exercise. Check out the traffic jams at Nelson, South, and Suncrest school every morning and afternoon. These children, 5 to 18 years, expect to be driven, collected and delivered. They don’t do weather. They don’t walk their neighbourhood. They may not feel at ease on their own streets.

I remember when we let our daughters walk to Nelson School on their own. We practised looking both ways at corners. We warned them about strangers without scaring them silly. We met the crossing guard, Pat, and sent the girls with a small group of neighbourhood children. It wasn’t far, and not much of a risk, but I still had doubts. Friends questioned our parenting. Something could happen, but it didn’t. They walked to school and back without incident for 16 years. I appreciate the contribution crossing guards (Ann and Kathy too) made to their safety.

Now Walk to School Wednesday attempts to get

more children walking, and encourages parents to allow them to. Walking school buses operate in some neighbourhoods. But it’s hard to break the chauffeur habit. Before and after school practices or lessons make timing more complex, and parents’ work schedules are a significant factor. But it can be done. Many parents could allow their children to walk a few days each week. Children like the freedom and responsibility even if they groan about rain and distance. It fosters independence.

I appreciate the funding decisions made to maintain crossing guards where needed. It’s worth it to ensure pedestrian safety as traffic increases.

“Keep Our Future Safe,” say the billboards. Thirty kilometre per hour, say the signs. “Slow down, buddy,” say the crossing guards. When you see a crossing guard in your neighbourhood give her a toot and a wave. She’s worth it.

Anne Hopkinson is a Burnaby resident still working on the three

Rs: reading, writing, and rambling.

The woman on the corner

“They’ve been punished by the media coverage.”

This phrase, or variations of it, is often used by defence lawyers lobbying for lighter sentences for their clients. We even hear it from judges. And they all have a point… but only to a point.

Indeed, anyone accused of a crime who is unlucky enough to get unwanted media attention pays a price. Some readers no doubt will rush to judgment, convinced that only the guilty get charged. Sadly, this is not always the case. Innocent people – and all are deemed innocent until proven guilty, in the eyes of our system – suffer from that same system in which justice is meant to be conducted in public.

However, once a guilty plea is entered or a conviction rendered, it should be incumbent on the courts to consider any suffering caused by public scrutiny to be off-limits when sentencing.

Recently, the lawyer for confessed dog thief Louise Reid told the judge a news article on her involvement in stealing dogs was posted on a bulletin board at her work; and a front-page story appeared in the newspaper her granddaughter delivers.

We can only hope Judge Peder Gulbransen did not consider that as “punishment” when he gave her a one-year probation and ordered her to pay $2,500 in restitution, as the dog was never returned.

The argument in court is almost always along the lines that news reports caused the offender embarrassment. The question that must be asked is, what exactly did the guilty parties think would happen? Did they only decide to break the law because they thought no one would find out?

The media exists to inform the public of what is happening in their communities; to recognize those who do well and hold accountable those who choose to act outside the law. There is a simple way to minimize the discomfort: don’t break the law.

COMMENTRe: Evans’ plight highlights need for longterm care beds: NDP (NewsLeader, Sept. 26) I was very sorry to read about former city councillor Doug Evans’ condition and his situation, which is very distressing for any family, and I hope they are able to find the best solution they can for care for him.

In the article, besides the central story of Mr. Evans’ plight, I noticed a quote from NDP MLA Raj Chouhan, saying, “If a person who is well known can’t even get that kind of attention, what about ordinary people?”

Does Mr. Chouhan think that because Mr. Evans has served the public dutifully for many years that he should get priority? Does Mr. Chouhan think when his turn comes that because he has served the public he will get priority over the “ordinary people,”—the taxpayers that fund the government and pay Mr. Chouhan’s salary? Hmmm.

TIME FOR A BETTER COURSE FOR TRANSLINK

I often take transit to get to my important destinations. These days, that mostly means going to and from school—an hour long commute each way, and I’m normally able to time it to get to my classes on time.

That assumes the buses actually show up when they’re scheduled to show up. In recent months, that’s been a dangerous assumption to make, especially along routes that serve the two major universities in the region. It would be one thing if the buses were simply late and we all carried on; things happen on the trip and buses can’t always move as quickly as they’re expected to. We’re now already at the stage where buses simply aren’t showing up that should be showing up, and the potential for passups is increasing exponentially because of buses simply disappearing.

All of this is happening before the TransLink budget cuts come into effect. For those not in the know, the Mayor’s Council voted to rescind the tax

increase they promised TransLink, which would have allowed the transit system to maintain levels of service and even expand service in some less well served areas of the Metro region. Instead, thanks to the Mayors’ decision to rescind the tax increase prior to its implementation, TransLink will once again have to scramble to find the funding needed just to keep the service we have from deteriorating.

It is surprising that this is a concern at all, given the branding that many of the cities that make up the Metro area have chosen for themselves. From Burnaby touting its environmental awards to Vancouver promising to be the world’s greenest city, this is a region that prides itself on environmental action and activism. Why then are those same mayors actively opposing the expansion of a system that will cut down our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce our regional emissions?

It’s on the record that Mayor Derek Corrigan in particular was opposed to the initial decision to

fund TransLink with a property tax increase, and was vocal in attempting to defeat it prior to its original inception. One could have appreciated that as campaign rhetoric during the election season, but the election has come and gone, why is there still opposition to such a valuable progressive policy concept? Mayor Corrigan is a New Democrat, and for a time touted as a leadership candidate for the BC NDP. The opportunity is now before him to chart a progressive, NDP course at TransLink and help fund the maintenance and expansion the public transportation system needs to become competitive with private automobiles.

As for me, it doesn’t matter if I’m a few minutes late; class will continue on and life won’t suddenly end if I’m not there. Others, however, rely on public transportation as their main form of transportation. They pay into the service through taxes and ever-increasing fares.

They deserve a system that’s reliable and shows up on time.

Quiet talks underway to broker deal for TransLink Jeff NagelBlack Press

It’s no surprise when transit apostles demand more money for TransLink.

But calls to reform funding for transit are now coming from an unusual corner – business groups that usually focus more on whether trucks can haul cargo efficiently.

They fear the impasse between Metro Vancouver mayors and the province over how to finance TransLink may block transit expansion plans for years and even reduce existing service, clogging roads with car commuters who could be more efficiently carried by bus or rail.

“There seems to be some sense that if you represent business you don’t care about transit,” B.C. Trucking Association president Louise Yako said, adding that’s dead wrong.

The BCTA is one of the business groups that have begun quiet talks in hopes of finding a fix for TransLink’s cash woes.

Yako noted more secure funding sources for transit would benefit the whole region – and avert disaster.

“TransLink is facing the wall,” she said. “We have a very short window of time to try and come up with a solution that is palatable for most people.”

The organizer who has brought the business groups together is Bob Wilds, managing director of the Greater Vancouver Gateway Council, which represents port, airport and other transportation business interests.

Wilds, who helped persuade the province to build the new Port Mann Bridge and other Gateway program projects, agrees transit service can’t be allowed to atrophy while the population and vehicle traffic keep climbing.

“You can’t expect to solve this problem without looking at difficult and innovative ways of doing it,” he said. “Maybe we need

road pricing. Maybe we need system-wide tolling. Those are the kinds of things we think we need to look at.”

Billions of dollars are being spent in the region on port-related Gateway roads and infrastructure, he noted.

“It will be wasted if we can’t be competitive,” Wilds said, adding road congestion and high gas taxes could easily drive container traffic away to rival ports.

The business groups don’t want to give TransLink a blank cheque for expansion.

Part of the challenge, they suggest, is to determine the maximum amount of revenue the region could reasonably generate for TransLink through new mechanisms

– and then ratchet back spending demands to fit the funding envelope.

“Everybody wants everything but there’s a finite amount of money we can generate,” Wilds said. “Maybe we have to revisit our ideas of what we want to have here.”

Alternately, he said, maybe senior governments can be persuaded they need to give TransLink ongoing operational funding, rather than just one-time capital cost sharing. That case could be made, he said, based on Metro Vancouver’s critical role as Canada’s Asia-Pacific gateway.

TransLink needs new funding sources because one of its biggest ones – the gas

tax – has proved unreliable and is generating less money as cars get more efficient, more drivers fill up outside Metro Vancouver and transit use rises.

The real estate development industry has also entered the debate.

Urban Development Institute CEO Anne McMullin said project developers have increasingly become believers in strong transit after recent projects on the Canada Line swiftly sold out.

She said TransLink needs a suite of new funding options, not a strategy that relies too heavily on either property taxpayers or vehicle drivers alone.

Business voices push transit funding reform

What does the high tech world offer those of us who

naturally prefer a high touch experience?

I find the touch screen feature of my iPad, although quick and easy, doesn’t offer the same level of satisfaction achieved through the high touch experience I feel when I actually create something with my own hands.

The arts are now blending high tech with the more traditional “by-hand” creative processes, making it almost impossible to tell the original from the copy. Photocopied prints with a few paint strokes almost fool the eye with the level of detail achieved using technology. The separation between high tech and high touch has become very blurry indeed.

The Burnaby Art Gallery offers every one of every age an opportunity to balance the tech and touch components

of their lives with real-time, real-life, experiences. You can achieve that soul-satisfying feeling of creating something “from scratch” when you learn

new skills at one of our art education classes.

Who hasn’t seen a teen crossing the street, eyes glued to their cell phone screen as if their very existence depended on it? What are the alternatives to help teens balance their need for high tech with the life skills learned through high-touch art activities?

One of the highlights of our fall program is the Directed Studio Program for Teens starting Oct. 11. This high-touch program offers teens a six-week intensive art experience where they have the opportunity to develop their own voice and establish their own creative direction within the medium of fine art. Working one-on-one with instructor David Robinson, teens have the ability to co-design a program that focuses on personal interests while developing a greater

mastery of the technical aspects of their chosen medium.

The gallery offers education programs for all ages starting

with pre-schoolers (Red Circle, Blue Line, 4-5 years) to the Professional Development Series for Artists. In that series, award-winning ceramic artist Brendan Tang offers advice and guidance to those interested in building a professional art career, at Thursday, Oct. 18, 7-8:30 p.m. The series is presented in partnership with CARFAC BC and has something for everyone from emerging to professional artists.

For the complete listing of offerings, and more details, visit www.burnabyartgallery.ca or check out the Burnaby Leisure Guide Fall 2012 or Burnaby.ca/active. Registration can be done online at Burnaby.ca/webreg, by phone 604-297-4422, in person at the Burnaby Art Gallery or at any community recreation/community centre.

Brenda Finlayson is the marketing and sponsorship

coordinator at the Burnaby Art Gallery.

If Catherine O’Leary’s cow had a second exit from her barn, she might not have been barbecued when she kicked over an oil lamp, sparking the great Chicago fire of 1871.

The inferno destroyed 18,000 buildings, killed 300 people and left a third of the city’s population homeless.

But from the embers of that disaster emerged the idea of fire prevention. In 1911, on the 40th anniversary of the Chicago conflagration, the Fire Marshals Association of North America declared Fire Prevention Day.

It’s since grown to an entire week of public education programs and events to remind

people that the best way to avoid fire tragedies is to prevent them from happening in the first place.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week takes place from Oct. 7-13 with the theme, “have two ways out.”

It’s advice that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

According to Fire Prevention Canada, an average of eight people die in fires every week in Canada, and almost three-quarters of those are in residential fires.

Having a primary and secondary escape route planned and practiced can help save lives.

So can a few common sense safety tips like:

• never leave cooking on the stove unattended

• don’t start cooking if you take medication that causes drowsiness

Common-sense fire prevention can save lives

One common sense fire prevention tip to remember: never leave cooking on the stove unattended.

• don’t overload electrical outlets

• keep lighters and matches out of the reach of children

• check batteries in smoke detectors

• check electrical appliances for frayed wiring regularly

• don’t store propane tanks indoors

• clean chimneys annually

• clean the lint filter before using a clothes dryer

And while candles might seem romantic and cosy, they’re also one of the most common causes of household fires. Don’t leave burning candles unattended. Don’t fall asleep while using candles. Don’t put them in high traffic areas where they might be knocked over, and don’t let them burn beyond two inches from their holder.

To be ready in case the unthinkable happens, develop and practice a fire escape plan.

Ensure all windows and doors can be unlocked and opened, then figure out two ways to escape from each room, including hallways and stairs. When fleeing a fire, be sure to close all doors behind you. Set up a place to meet when everyone is out. And don’t dawdle; the increased use of synthetic materials in homes has contributed to faster, more toxic fires, reducing the escape time over the past 25 years from 17 minutes to as little as three minutes.

Members of the Burnaby Fire Department will be at Lougheed Town Centre on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to hand out fire safety information, dispense safety tips and show off some of their equipment. There will also be opportunities to win

prizes like a fire truck pedal car, or the chance to be Fire Chief for a day.

FIRE PREVENTION

DAYSaturday, October 13th

9:30am - 5:00pm at Lougheed Town Centre

A Message from Burnaby’s Fire Chief – Fire Prevention WeekAs part of Fire Prevention Week, the Burnaby Fire Department will be at the Lougheed Town Centre on Saturday, October 13th with a fun and informative display related to Fire Prevention and Safety Awareness.

Firefighters will be available to provide fire safety information and to answer any fire related questions you may have. We will also have information on hand regarding Smoke Alarm & Carbon Monoxide Alarm recycling.

Demonstrations will include the proper use of fire extinguishers, featuring a piece of specialized equipment that simulates an actual fire.

“Have Two Ways Out” is this year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week. Always plan to have at least two fire escape routes and that all family members are aware of these routes. Remember to check the batteries in your smoke alarms at regular intervals and ensure your family has a Fire Escape Plan! Come visit us to get more information on how to keep your family safe.

We hope to see you there.

electrical cords and thermostats.• Use appliances that have an automatic shut-

off.• Keep a timer handy to remind you when the

oven and burners should be switched off.• If you take medication that causes drowsiness,

do not use cooking appliances.• Use a temperature controlled electric skillet or

deep-fryer for frying.• Never leave your cooking unattended.• Use appropriate cooking appliances and keep

them clean.• Keep a pot cover nearby to “put a lid on it” in

the event of a fire.

Living Room

• Fireplace: always use a fire screen, ensuring it is the appropriate size for the fireplace opening.

• Do not overload electrical outlets or use extension cords in the place of additional outlets.

• Smokers should check furniture for fallen cigarettes or embers, which can smoulder undetected for hours before bursting into flames.

• Ensure careful use of smoking materials and extinguish in water before disposal.

• Never leave cigarettes in an ashtray unattended.

• Use ashtrays with a double rim and deep centre.

• Keep matches, lighters and lit candles out of the reach of children.

Keep your home fire safe with a few easy tips

Many fatal fires start at night

Smoke alarms save lives

As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips:• When you change your clocks, test your smoke arlam.• You have less than three minutes to escape a fire. So when smoke alarms sound, ev-eryone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is essential.• Install one smoke alarm on every storey and outside bedrooms. Install inside bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. • Ensure all smoke alarms are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm.• If your home has any fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSA-approved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recom-mended.

• Replace smoke alarms ev-ery 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether

battery operated or hardwired into your

home’s electrical system.Carbon monox-ide is colour-less, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO

alarm, humans cannot detect its

presence. Despite the average home hav-

ing several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm. In ad-dition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the flu, without the fever. It is routinely respon-sible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiag-nosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, diz-ziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain dam-age and ultimately, death. More home safety resources can be found on the www.safeathome.ca web site.

Investigations into home fire deaths very often find that a smoke alarm did not sound. It may have been discon-nected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or some-one may have taken them out. Smoke alone won’t necessar-ily wake you up. In fact, the fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-

niors will often need assistance from fam-ily members to put safety measures into place. As well, family mem-bers are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a fire. Focus on

these six priorities to help aging family members pro-tect themselves against fire in the home.

■ INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.■ Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection.■ For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound.■ An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended.■ Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance.■ REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

Only a working smoke alarm can save your life!Fire Prevention Week oct. 7-14

“Fall back” to smart home safety

Thanksgiving turkey fires cause for concern at 9-1-1 centreE -Comm’s fire dispatch team is warning families to be mind-ful of their turkey cooking during Thanksgiving week-end. “A turkey isn’t something you typi-cally see on a list of household fire haz-ards, but we get 9-1-1 calls about ovens going up in flames all the time,” says Corey Kelso, E-Comm fire dispatcher. “The result can be devastating if you’re not careful every time you have something cooking for an extended period of time.”

E-Comm has received some odd calls to 9-1-1 before – including

someone wanting to know how long to cook a turkey – but a turkey fire is no joke. In fact, it is a leading cause of spikes in 9-1-1 calls over the holidays.

“A flame in your oven can start easily and escalate quickly,” says Kelso. “Oil drippings through a thin tinfoil turkey pan or bits of leftover food residue inside your oven are extremely flammable in a high temperature setting.”

Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 fires that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The findings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 fires in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.

Statistics reveal that 78 percent of deaths from fire occur in the home, with most of the fatalities taking place between 2 and 4 a.m., while occupants are asleep. That is why it is critical to develop an escape plan, because one needs to react quickly.

Develop anD practice a Fire escape plan

• Install smoke alarms on every level. Keep smoke alarms clean and dust-free, checking monthly. Replace batteries yearly and alarms every 10 yrs.

• Draw a floor plan of your home showing all possible exits from each room.

• Where possible, plan two exits: a main route and an alternate route from each room.

• Since the majority of fire deaths occur while you are sleeping, practice your plan at night as well, getting down on your hands and knees with a flashlight while crawling to safety. Heavy smoke impairs breathing, which is why staying

close to the floor increases chances of escape.

• Ensure everyone understands if they hear the smoke alarm, or someone shouting “FIRE”, they should immediately evacuate the home.

• Designate a meeting place outside your home in the event of a fire.

• Small children unable to escape should be taught to open windows and wave an article of clothing to attract attention. Instruct them to wait at the window until someone comes and to never hide from the fire.

• Sleep with doors closed. If children are frightened, parents can close doors after the children fall asleep and use a room monitor to hear them during the night.

• If awakened by a smoke alarm or a fire, instruct family members to feel the door for heat and check air at the bottom. If you don’t smell smoke and the air is cool, kneel and open the door slowly, turning your face away from the

opening. If smoke is present or the door is hot, use another exit.

• Purchase an A-B-C fire extinguisher, whose rating is based on the fuel: ‘A’ originates from a wood or paper fire, ‘B’ is caused by flammable liquids and ‘C’ is an electrical fire. Learn how to use this fire extinguisher by remembering the acronym PASS. Pull the pin, Aim, Squeeze or press the handle and Sweep side-to-side at the base of the fire.

• If you live in an apartment building, develop your escape plan taking into account fire escape procedures provided by building management.

• Make sure babysitters know your fire escape plan.

• Practice your escape plan regularly so every family member can react quickly.

• If anyone in your home is unable to evacuate without assistance, assign someone to assist them.

• Ensure that everyone in your home knows not to re-enter.

What is your escape plan?FIREPREVENTION

SPORTS

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERA Burnaby Lake ball carrier is dragged down by a United tackler in the first half of their BC Rugby Union women’s first division match, Saturday at Burnaby Lake. Burnaby won the match 19-10.

HANGING ON

Two big victories last week have vaulted the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s soccer team up the NCAA rankings.

In the NCAA Division II poll, SFU has gone from being unranked to No. 7 after beating Seattle Pacific 5-1 last Thursday, and Saint Martin’s 6-0 three days later. In the west region rankings, however, the Clan is now No. 1 rising three spots from the previous poll. The defeat SFU handed Seattle Pacific was the Falcons’ first of the season dropping them to second regionally and 12th nationally.

Simon Fraser midfielder Justin Wallace was also named Great Northwest Athletic Conference offensive player of the week while fullback Matt Besuschko took defensive honours.

Wallace picked up six points in the two games last weekend with a goal and two assists in both games. In 10 games this season, he has five goals and six assists.

Besuschko was part of a defence that held the opposition to just 16 shots and one goal in the two games. He also scored a goal against Saint Martin’s, heading in a corner kick.

The men’s soccer team will be in Bellingham on Saturday to take on the Western Washington University Vikings.

• SFU running back Bo Palmer has been named GNAC offensive football player of the week after rushing for 145 yards on 17 carries and four touchdowns in a 41-28 victory over Dixie State Red Storm on Saturday.

The Clan will take on Azusa Pacific at Terry Fox Field on Saturday, 2 p.m.

Clan move up NCAA soccer rankings

Steelers stop DevilsThe Burnaby-based Grandview Steelers

are third in the Tom Shaw Conference of the Pacific International Junior B Hockey League with a 4-3-1-0 record. They’ll be looking to improve on that mark when they take on the Port Moody Panthers (1-6-0-0) at the Winter Club on Sunday, 4 p.m.

Last Sunday, the Steelers edged the North Delta Devils 5-4 at BWC after losing 4-3 in Abbotsford to the Pilots two days earlier.

On Sunday, Grandview took a 3-0 lead after one period with Justin Elliott scoring a pair of goals and assisting on another by Brennan Bifano. The Devils bounced back with three goals of their own in the second period before Nicholas Hermary and Matteo Belmonte scored in the last five minutes of the third period to give Grandview a 5-3 lead.

In Abbotsford, the Steelers took a 2-0 lead on goals by Sean Lan early in the second period, but needed a power-play goal from Belmonte with 40 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. Michael Tebbutt scored his second of the game for

Abbotsford just 54 seconds into OT.

Midget Giants on topVancouver North West Giants, who have

been the top team during the regular season in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League for the past five seasons, are off to another good start.

The Giants, who also play out of the Burnaby Winter Club, ran their record to 4-0 with a pair of tight wins over the Greater Vancouver Canadians last weekend to sit atop the 2012-13 standings tied with the Cariboo Cougars, who are also 4-0.

At the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday, Jarid Lukosevicuius scored both the Giants goals in a 2-1 triumph. He also scored twice in a 4-2 victory at the Richmond Olympic Oval, the Canadians home base, on Saturday. Cole Todd and Sam Curleigh also scored for the Giants, who will have the bye this weekend.

They will play the Cougars the following weekend, Oct. 13-14, at the Langley Events Centre.

Real estate sales sag, prices drop in some citiesJeff [email protected]

Sagging demand from home buyers is putting downward pressure on Lower Mainland real estate prices, but mainly in areas where prices had shot up faster than the rest of the region.

September home sales in Metro Vancouver were down eight per cent from August and have plunged 32.5 per cent from a year ago, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

And a composite benchmark price that tracks all residential property movement in the area is down 2.3 per cent in the past three months, or down 0.8 per cent from a year ago.

That decline has been a more modest 1.8 per cent over three months and 0.1 per cent from a year ago over the entire Lower Mainland – which includes the Fraser Valley, where values have held up better.

“In some areas and neighbourhoods we’re seeing price declines, especially in the areas that ran up the most,” said Tsur Somerville, director of UBC’s Centre for Urban

Economics and Real Estate at the Sauder School of Business.

“There is a noticeable difference between this West Vancouver-Vancouver west side-Richmond grouping and everywhere else,” he said.

Prices in the three oceanfront cities that had soared in 2010 and 2011 have dropped five to seven per cent from their recent peaks, he noted. The priciest district remains Vancouver’s west side, where benchmark detached houses typically cost close to $2.1 million. That’s down 6.5 per cent from a year ago but still up almost 40 per cent over

the past five years.It’s a completely

different story in Maple Ridge, where a detached house typically changes hands at $468,000 – the same price as five years ago and up just over one per cent from a year ago.

The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which covers Surrey, said residential property as a whole declined 0.4 per cent in the past three months, but is up 2.1 per cent year-over-year.

Detached houses are up three per cent from a year ago at $549,000 while townhouses are down 1.7 per cent to $305,700 and apartments have gained 4.1 per cent to $198,800.

“The Fraser Valley is much more stable than other areas of the Lower Mainland,” Somerville said.

Demand for higher end homes has fallen off the fastest in both Metro Vancouver and the Valley. Greater Vancouver real estate

board president Eugen Klein said Ottawa’s elimination of 30-year government-insured mortgages earlier this year has led to a “clear reduction in buyer demand” because the measure intended to rein in Canadian debt loads has made homes less affordable here.

But Somerville doesn’t think Ottawa’s tightening of mortgage rules is playing a major role.

“That only applies on mortgages with a down payment of 25 per cent or less,” he said. “Nobody’s out buying a high-end home with a three per cent down payment.”

Somerville said a slowdown in Lower

Mainland residential market demand has been underway since last December and is being matched by flattening prices.

He doesn’t detect anything likely to trigger a much deeper drop in the market.

“To have some dramatic radical change you need to have something dramatically and radically change and I don’t see what that is.”

Market psychology is also playing a role and a recent survey found many Metro residents think prices will continue down, a belief that could extend the trend if many would-be buyers decide to keep waiting.

Metro’s hot property zones giving up gains: expert

Tsur Somerville, Sauder School of Business To have some dramatic radical change you need to have something dramatically and radically change and I don’t see what that is.

Kerkhoff Construction is bringing a sense of community to Pitt Meadows with its newest development, Liv42.

With 42 condominium homes in the project, Liv42 feels like a close-knit community. Spacious floorplans and modern features such as stainless-steel appliances and elegant laminate flooring make your new home beautiful as well as functional.

the spacious feel. The composite stone slab countertops in the kitchen are beautifully complemented by a polished porcelain-tile backsplash and flat panel wood veneer or Shaker-style cabinetry. The eating bar is perfect for people who don’t have time to sit down to a meal.

Liv42 is just a few blocks from the West Coast Express and minutes from Lougheed Highway. There is also shopping, dining, recreation and schools, all conveniently located right in the neighbourhood.

The Summit House is bringing a touch of loft style to South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing. With all the beautiful features of the other Summit House homes as well as some new details of their own, these limited-edition lofts are a cut above the rest.

“These aren’t typical condos,” says Bryan Woolley, president of Fingerprint Strategies Inc. “They’re not cookie-cutter at all.”

Built by Larco Investments, the two-bedroom homes feature the master bedroom and living areas on the first floor with a loft on the second floor that can be used for a bedroom, media room, library, art studio or a romantic retreat.

The spacious layouts are open and inviting, and feature plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing. The homes range from 1,026 to 1,261 square feet, and include huge windows to allow in plenty of natural light.

“These are the only lofts available in South Surrey,” says Woolley. “There’s been a lot of interest in these great floorplans.” In fact, nearly half of the 13 lofts have already been sold.

Some of the beautiful features in the lofts include gas cooktops, soft-close cabinetry in the kitchen and incredibly high ceilings at almost 22 feet.

Gorgeous hardwood laminate floors are included throughout the main living areas, while the bedrooms feature carpeting that is perfect for sinking your toes into. Electric fireplaces are cozy and inviting, while the large outdoor patios and balconies give you your own outdoor space.

The cabinetry and gas cooktop aren’t the only great things about the kitchens. The 1 3/4-inch quartz countertops and glass or ceramic tile backsplash are chic and modern, while the stainless-steel appliances are a gourmet’s dream.

Homeowners at The Summit House are able to take advantage of some pretty lovely amenities, including a private rooftop plaza that features a community garden, barbecue and fire pit.

However, one of the best features at The Summit House is the amazing mountain views from many of the suites. They have proven inspirational in many ways.

“The lofts have been attracting artists and other creative types,” says Woolley.

The Morgan Crossing village has

been the biggest draw to the homes, Woolley says. With tons of shopping, eateries and leisure activities in the area, there is never a shortage of things to do.

“It’s so convenient,” he says, adding “it feels like a real community.”

Even dogs will find their perfect place in Morgan Crossing, with its Paws Crossing dog park.

The village is perfect for those looking to meet people. Larco regularly holds community events, including hockey tournaments and fashion shows.

“There is a very eclectic mix of owners,” says Woolley. The range of demographics include a 19-year-old who bought the place on his own to a 92-year-old who enjoys the vibrant atmosphere of Morgan Crossing.

The convenience factor is really an integral part of the community,

Woolley says.“On weekends, cars stay in the

parkade,” he says. “It’s very easy for people to walk around to get whatever they need.”

If that’s some groceries, Thrifty Foods is on-site. If you’re looking for a workout, the Steve Nash Sports Club is available, or you can head out for a walk or run around the neighbourhood.
