It’s still early in 2016, butthis year is shaping up to bethe busiest for Burnaby’sfire department.

The number of callsfor almost everything thatbrings out the fire depart-ment has increased in thefirst quarter of 2016.

The overall call volumefor the department has in-creased by more than 15per cent to 3,743, from3,175 during the first threemonths of last year.

The number of fires hasspiked to 101, from 60 inthe same time period lastyear, while motor vehicle in-cidents are also up to 318so far this year from 252.

Accidental alarms, otherfires, and public service callsare all up from last year.

But it was the increasein the number of medicalemergency calls that caughtthe eye of city council.

Medical calls are up byabout 10 per cent to 2,430from 2,192 in 2015.

City politicians view theincrease in part related to a

change in the way the am-bulance service responds tocalls.

A few years back, B.C.Emergency Health Servicesdowngraded certain typesof medical emergencies,causing longer wait timesfor ambulances in somecases.

Mayor Derek Corrigansaid it’s hard to tell if those

changes are the reason forthe increase in calls, buthe said people are turningto the fire department be-cause they’ll get to the callquicker.

“It’s the immediacy ofsomeone attending who hassome first aid training,” hesaid, noting firefighters aremore expensive to send toa medical call but have less

training than paramedics.And he put the blame

squarely on the provin-cial government, suggestingthe fix is more ambulanc-es and paramedics. But healso said there needs to bemore education for peoplearound when they need anambulance.

A Burnaby mom isswapping out her warmbed for a sleeping bag anda piece of cardboard.

Debbie Preissl is oneof 33 mothers participat-ing in Covenant House’sfifth annual Sleep Out onMay 5 in downtownVan-couver.The goal of theone-night event is to raise$75,000 for the charity’soutreach program, whichsends youth workers outon the streets to make con-tact with vulnerable youngpeople.

This year’s Sleep Out isthe non-profit organiza-tion’s first “mother’s edi-tion.” Previous events havebeen limited to executivesandVIPs.

Preissl, who has two chil-dren of her own and runsa business development,education and consultingcompany, admits she’s ner-vous, but excited.

“I have no idea whatto expect.They’re tryingto sort of give us a smalltaste of what these kids gothrough,” she says.

“I have very close

friends, who are CEOsand have already done this.They just told the mostwonderful stories, how itreally affected them andhow it’s one thing to be outat night, but we all just gohome to our homes andwe’re comfortable.Thesekids don’t have that oppor-tunity.

“I think it’s going to real-ly open my eyes.”

The non-profit organi-zation is 94 per cent pri-vately funded, according todigital marketing coordina-tor Kristy Hayter, meaninginitiatives like Sleep Outare vital. Of the $75,000goal, more than $95,000has been raised so far be-tween the 33 moms.

Preissl is nearing her$3,000 individual fundrais-ing target and is confidentshe’ll surpass it. She saysthe support from her net-work of family and friendshas been surprising.

“It’s so touching whenyou get a little notificationthat someone’s donated. Igot some really beautifulmessages.”

Hayter, meanwhile,wasn’t sure what to expectwhen Covenant House put

out the call to mothers tosleep outside.

“People were so excitedto join.We had no troubleselling it,” she said, addingthe May 5 date was cho-sen to coincide with Moth-er’s Day.

The evening begins at

7:30 p.m. Once the momsarrive to Covenant House,they’ll take a tour of thebuilding and go throughthe women’s crisis pro-gram.They’ll also have apanel discussion with pre-vious and current youthwho have used Covenant

House.The “sleeping”starts at 10 p.m. and con-cludes at 5:30 a.m. with areflection exercise.

The response from pastparticipants has been “in-credible,” noted Hayter.

“It’s so impactful andmeaningful for them. A lot

of people get really emo-tional either from paststuff from their life or justto have a glimpse of howtough it is to be homeless,”she said. “We think it’s go-ing to be the same for themoms.”

‘I have no idea what to expect.They’re trying to sort of give us asmall taste of what these kids gothrough.’ – Debbie Preissl

Editor’s note: Warning –some language in this storymay offend some readers.

A Burnaby man is takinga couple of local Mountiesand B.C.’s Minister of Jus-tice to court over an arrestback in 2014.

In a notice of civil claimfiled last week in B.C. Su-preme Court, Koshin Hus-sein is suing two BurnabyRCMP members and theminister for the alleged useof force during an arrest at

the man’s home on May-wood Street.

According to the suit,Hussein was at home pre-paring a meal with his wifeand kids on April 20, 2014,when the two got into an ar-gument over one child’s ill-ness.

They agreed to take thechild to a doctor, whenHussein heard a knock onthe door. Hussein said helooked through the peep-hole to see a single RCMPofficer at the door with hisgun drawn.

He asked the officer towait while he got dressed,but the officer, who was lat-

er identified as ConstableAtoui, kicked in the door,pointed his gun and yelledat him to “get the fuck out.”

The suit claims the offi-cer put the barrel of the gundirectly against Hussein’shead. He also claims the of-ficer sprayed him on thehead and face with an OCspray, also known as pep-per spray.

He was led out of theapartment and placed in thepolice cruiser.The lawsuitsaid he continually askedfor medical assistance andwater to wash out his eyesbut was denied. Instead hewas told that he would be

seen later by an ambulance,the suit alleged.

Hussein was eventual-ly seen by paramedics oncehe was in a cell at the DeerLake detachment.

From there the suitclaims he remained in thecell for eight hours withoutcounsel, alleging he facedquestions from Const.Atouiabout his background, hisreligion and whether he wasa practising Muslim.

He was released withoutcharge but was never givena reason for the arrest.

Hussein said he asked fora ride home, as he had no

“The ambulance serviceis not there to address everysingle situation you mighthave,” he told the NOW. “Ifyou sprain your ankle, get-ting a cab and going downto emergency can work.”

The mayor also said thenature of firefighting ischanging, which is some-thing municipalities will

have to continue to dealwith.

“Their jobs are chang-ing and they’ve got to beequipped to be able to dealwith the new reality for thefirefighters’ job,” Corrigansaid.

So far in 2016, there hasbeen just three injuries andno deaths related to fires inBurnaby.

shoes and it was raining.He said the officer gave hima bus ticket and walkedhim to the bus stop. Buthe claimed when he got onthe bus, the officer told thedriver to call police if he“caused any trouble.”

None of the allegationshave been proven in court,and none of the defendantshave responded to the civ-il claim.

A second officer listedas Constable Culic is alsonamed in the suit.

The suit claims the con-stables did not have anygrounds to arrest Hussein,and the force used againsthim was excessive and can’tbe justified.

The suit also claims hiscontinued detention in thecruiser and detachment wasunlawful, while the RCMPhad a duty of care when hewas in need of medical at-tention.

Hussein is seeking spe-cial damages for the costof damage inflicted on hisdoor and medical treatment

for ongoing and fear andanxiety, aggravated damagesfor the treatment during de-tention and his release, andcharter damages for the fail-ure to provide his right tocounsel upon arrest.

Hussein spoke to theNOW just a few days af-ter the alleged incident. Atthe time, RCMP said theycouldn’t comment on theincident because of privacyconcerns.

The court documentsnote in August 2014, theplaintiff lodged a complaintagainst the officers involvedwith the Burnaby RCMPProfessional StandardsUnit.

In September 2015, theunit found both constablesneglected their duty whenthey released Hussein with-out proper attire and weregiven “operational guid-ance.”

The documents said Hus-sein is appealing the deci-sion to the federal Civil-ian Review and ComplaintsCommission, asking thecommission to find out if

the officers had improper-ly arrested him and used ex-cessive force.The appeal re-mains outstanding.

SearchonforcandidateUnder NDP rules nominee must be a [email protected]

The search is on for acandidate to replace depart-ing Burnaby-Deer LakeNDP MLA Kathy Corri-gan, who announced recent-ly she would not be seekinganother term in 2017.

But whoever the eventualNDP candidate is, they willlikely be a woman.

The president of theNDP constituency associa-tion Lance Matricardi saidit is his understanding un-der party rules, a female in-cumbent must be replacedby another woman.

While he noted no nameshad come forward to runwhen speaking to the NOWthe day after Corrigan’s an-nouncement, he believesthere will be enough quali-

fied candidates.“There’s quite a few good

women out there involvedin politics,” Matricardi toldthe NOW. “How many ofthem want to go forward? Idon’t know.”

He suspected names willcome up once news of Cor-rigan’s departure spreads,noting there are some pos-sibilities from city coun-cil, school board and localunions.

First term school trust-ee Katrina Chen told theNOW she wasn’t interest-ed in running, adding shewas happy with her schoolboard work, while the 2013NDP Burnaby-North can-didate Janet Routledge saidif she were to run again, itwould be in Burnaby-Northwhere she lives.

Matricardi said the con-

stituency association wantsto hold a nomination meet-ing by the end of May. Henoted the association hassome fundraising events inthe summer and would liketo have the new candidateattending.

“I want to do it as soon aspossible so we can get thecandidate out through thesummer,” he said.

Corrigan, a two-termMLA, told the NOW shewas prompted to retire frompolitics in part because ofback problems and the po-tential to spend more timewith her family.

In 2013, she won her sec-ond term, collecting 8,103votes and beating out thesecond place Liberal can-didate by more than 900votes.

Teenssimplyshouldn’tbehomelessHas anything changed

since last year for homelessyouth in the city?

We doubt it. In fact,things have probably got-ten harder for kids out onthe streets.

A year ago, on the heelsof a provincial report ti-tled, “Our communities, ouryouth:The health of home-less and street-involved youthin B.C.” local service pro-viders said Burnaby had ayouth homelessness prob-lem that simply wasn’t be-

ing adequately addressed.Part of the problem was

that there was, and con-tinues to be, a false as-sumption that homelessyouth all go toVancouver.But that’s simply not true.Burnaby young people areusing services in Burnabyand are connected to com-munity in this city, muchas some political leaderswould prefer they weren’t.

Since there are safehouses inVancouver andSurrey, one might expect

homeless youth to go therefor shelter. But one onlyhas to look in city parks,on some city corners, and,at night in warehouse dis-tricts, to see that home-less youth in the city endup staying here and not go-ing toVancouver. Many ofthese young people are es-caping from abusive homesand/or have mental healthproblems.

In a 2015 survey ofhomeless youth, 68 percent of youth (62 per cent

of males, 72 per cent of fe-males) reported having atleast one mental healthcondition, while 42 percent had seriously con-sidered suicide in the pastyear, and almost a third(31 per cent) had attempt-

ed suicide.For a caring society this

is simply unacceptable.We seem to have become

enured to seeing home-less adults, but are we alsobecoming numb to seeinghomeless teens as well?

We hope not.On page three of today’s

paper we have a story ofone city mom who is work-ing to raise awareness andfunds for a great organi-zation that helps homelessyouth. Covenant House

deserves kudos for all itdoes on a very small bud-get.

As well, the BurnabyTask Force on Homeless-ness continues to do all itcan to help homeless folksin the city. On May 14 theyare holding a clothing driveand we urge you to pitch inand help them in any wayyou can.

We may not all believewe are our brothers’ keep-ers, but we can certainly bea youth helper.

Where to have a fire

Realestate’shiddenhazard

The recent real estateprice boom has a lot ofalarming aspects, but themost alarming is not to dowith prices, losing our heri-tage or increasing the foot-print of homes.

The most dangerous as-pect of our real estate bub-ble is the health hazardspresented by the homes be-ing demolished.

Most people don’t real-ize asbestos is in virtuallyevery home built between1920 and 1990 and must besafely removed prior to de-molition of a structure. Alltoo often a demolition per-mit is issued with the housecrushed in a day, the wreck-age removed from site ina steel garbage bin. No as-sessments are conducted,no asbestos abatement per-formed.

But exposures don’t stopat the property line.

This isn’t just a worker is-sue; it is a community issue.When a home is demolishedin your neighbourhoodwithout proper precau-tions being taken, your fam-ily could be exposed to po-tentially dangerous levels ofasbestos. Just one asbestosexposure can cause irrepa-rable harm to your lungs –it is not acceptable to allowthese practices to contin-ue. Governments have a keyrole to play in the regulationof the demolition and asbes-tos abatement industry.

Asbestos is the numberone killer of workers in BC.Every year on April 28 wemourn workers who havelost their life.This year wemourn for another 54 work-

ers who died of asbestosisor mesothelioma as a resultof exposure.This brings thenumber to 242 in the lastfive years.

For the past several yearsWorkSafe B.C. has identi-fied contractors within theasbestos abatement indus-try that don’t comply withhealth and safety regula-tions, regularly putting theiremployees at risk.Thesecontractors prey on youngworkers who don’t under-stand the risks involvedin their work. Often theirsymptoms don’t show upfor many, many years.

The City ofVancouverhas communicated withWorkSafe B.C. the locationof all demolition permits fora few years now and oth-er municipalities must fol-low their lead. In light of therecent legal cases that haveidentified employers withover 200WorkSafe B.C. or-der violations, it is time toproperly regulate the demo-lition and asbestos abate-ment industry with con-tractor licensing in safelyhandling asbestos and oth-er hazardous material forall demolition and environ-mental remediation con-tractors.JoshTowsley is the president

A brush fire that sparked nearWarner Loat Park inApril didn’t stand a chance. For a brief time it flourished,igniting blackberry brambles and small woods near theback of the Fleck Bros. warehouse at 4084 McConnellCrt. Unfortunately for the fire, Fleck Bros. was one ofCanada’s largest suppliers of industrial fire extinguishers.A group of warehousemen who spotted the blaze grabbedextinguishers and put out the flames before fire trucks ar-rived.

Risk of an oil spill isjust too largeDear Editor I believe that by far thebiggestissue regarding theproposedKinderMorganTransMountain pipeline expansionprojectis thepossibility of amajor oil spill fromanoil tanker thatwoulddevastate thebeachesand theocean in the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Victoria area.In addition todamaging the region’s natural

ecology, amajor oil spill would greatly harmthequality of life for thepeople living in themost populated areaof BritishColumbia aswell as the area’s vital tourist industry.Theonly sure and safeway to avoid hugeoil

tanker spills in the Vancouver/Gulf Islands/Vic-toria area is not to allow theproposedKinderMorganTransMountain pipeline expansionproject to proceed.NormanGibson, byemail

BurnabyResident “world-class”sounds like ‘best in theworld’. In realityitmeans ‘world nominal’. It is usuallymore about dragging thebest downrather thanbringing theworst up.

“Shoot me! Shoot me! I’llcatch it in my mouth.”

When Burnaby residentJeff Davidson picks up thecrossbow he invented abouttwo years ago, he encoun-ters that reaction more oftenthan you’d think.

Sure it shoots marshmal-lows, but it still surpriseshim – especially since thepeople telling him to shootthem are usually grown-ups.

“There are so many bigkids around,” he said witha laugh.

The Burnaby craftsmanis hoping to translate thatyouthful enthusiasm intoa market for his high-end,handcrafted toy.

“I’ve worked harder atthis than anything in mylife,” he told the BurnabyNOW.

Davidson, whose work inthe home reno business hasbeen in the doldrums for afew years, stumbled into hisnew business venture abouttwo years ago whileYoutub-ing bandsaw projects.

He came across an Amer-ican woodworker sell-ing plans for a miniature,marshmallow-shootingcrossbow and decided todesign his own.

The result – a sleek weap-on with a Douglas fir stock,a walnut trigger and alumi-num fixtures – launches astandard-size marshmallowabout 60 feet.

At point-blank range, theprojectile hits its target witha satisfying smack.

And, since Davidson rec-ommends dusting freshmarshmallows with corn-starch to prevent them fromgumming up the weapon,they can even be launchedwith a dramatic puff.

“There’s lots of cutenessabout this thing,” David-son said.

That cuteness seems toappeal to just about every-one.

“I had a couple buy onefor their elderly father togive him something fun todo,” Davidson said. “I can

barely walk up the streetwith one without someonebuying it right out of myhands.”

Despite his product’sbroad appeal, however, itwas hard getting the busi-ness side of things off theground.

“I’m terrible at marketingmyself,” Davidson said.

That has meant employ-ing some creative sellingstrategies in times of need.

“I was super broke oneday,” Davidson said. “I hadeight bucks in my pock-

et and I thought, ‘I’m go-ing to take a couple (cross-bows) and sit down on ahoity-toity patio, spend my

eight bucks on a beer; and Ibet one will sell.’ I didn’t sitdown for more than a min-

ute and this couple was allover them.”

So far Davidson is a one-man operation, building hiscrossbows in a rented Burn-aby garage.

His weapons retail for$79 and can be taken aparteasily, thanks to a thumb-screw and steel insert thatholds the bow assembly tothe stock.

They’re available on Da-vidson’s website, mmxvancouver.com, and at 12stores fromYarrow to Co-mox, including Litchfield,

a high-end concept store inGastown, and Boorman Ar-chery in NewWestminster.

“I went to the B.C. Rodand Gun show in Clover-dale a couple weeks back,”Davidson said. “It was a hit.I sold tons.”

For Ron Boorman, ownerof Boorman Archery, there’sno doubt Davidson’s on tosomething.

“I just thought it was agreat idea,” Boorman toldthe NOW. “You can have alot of fun with it. I know it’sgoing to be a good seller.”

Four SFU business stu-dents have been praised bytheir peers for an “innova-tive” plan to help marijuanaproducers enter the marketof high-end edibles.

The Beedie School ofBusiness students snaggeda first-place prize at SimonFraser’s Opportunity Fest,a marketplace-style eventwhere students show offtheir products and projectsto judges from industry, ac-ademia and the community,last month.

Garrett Downes, SmarthDuggal, Michael Pizzolonand Jeff Salzsauler caughtthe judges’ attentions withtheir company Stolz: Can-nabis Infused Fine Choco-lates.

The student-led compa-ny placed first place in the“most investable oppor-tunity” category, and theyscored the title of “inno-vators’ choice,” an honourchosen by participants and

judges. Each win earnedthem a $500Visa gift card,according to a press release.

Stolz’s business plan?Toprovide marijuana produc-ers the tools and skills nec-essary to build their ediblesbusiness from the groundup, including “everythingfrom recipes to helping pro-ducers with equipment pur-chases and crafting high-quality cannabis-infusedchocolates,” noted the re-lease.

“When we examinedthe cannabis market in theUnited States, we saw a lotof growers and processorswho were eager to diversi-fy into the edibles market,but lacked the expertise todo so,” Salzsauler, who is aprofessionally-trained choc-olatier and has experiencebuilding companies’ pas-try programs, said in the re-lease. “Edibles are huge inthe United States and theprofit margins make them avery attractive alternative forproducers.We put togeth-er a business model that al-

lows us to share our exper-tise with producers who arehungry for it.”

The team has alreadybegun testing their edibleproducts and has a collec-tion of recipes ready to goonce they find some clients,which they are hoping tofind withinVictoria’s medi-cal marijuana community.By 2017, Stolz’s foundershope to tap into the mari-juana market south of theborder, and once Canadaapproves legalization, theyintend to operate as whole-salers of their edible prod-ucts, according to the re-lease.

“The demographicsof cannabis users is alsochanging,” Salzsauler said.“As existing cannabis us-ers grow up, the market isshifting towards young pro-fessionals who are collegeeducated with a higher in-come and status, creating ademand for higher quali-ty products. All of a suddenthis isn’t a fringe businessanymore.”

A good portion of theroughly 30-minute speechby the mayor, delivered ata gathering hosted by theBurnaby Board ofTrade(BBOT)Tuesday, focusedon the development plansfor the various areas of thecity.

“Our town centres arecontinuing to grow andprosper; and our exemplarypractice of protecting greenspace, while developingwalkable, transit-focused,high-density focal points– Metrotown, Edmonds,Lougheed and Brentwood– continues to strike a criti-cal balance between devel-opment and preservation,”Corrigan told the crowd.

He also noted it was a re-cord year for building per-mit values in 2015, and thecity’s role in meeting the re-gion’s growth projectionsof another 125,000 peoplecoming to Burnaby in thenext 25 years.

But the city has come un-der fire from critics for thepace of development and aconcern over the loss of theaffordable housing stock inthe municipality.

Corrigan touched on theissue, pointing out 20 percent of all contributionsmade from Burnaby’s Com-munity Benefit Bonus Pol-icy go into a housing fundto support housing-relatedprojects.

He said to date, morethan $2 million from thefund has gone to sup-port 257 units of non-prof-it housing, while in the fall,council approved a newprogram that will make citylands available for non-mar-ket or co-op housing proj-

ects.“We’re also working to

address the housing chal-lenges some citizens faceby closely monitoring ourhousing stock to ensure weare providing a full range ofhousing opportunities,” hesaid. “To guide us, we com-pleted a profile in 2015 thatprovides baseline housingstock data.”

Following the address,Corrigan said his speechwas about giving the entirepicture of what’s happeningin the city to the businesscommunity.

“The response I get moreoften is, I didn’t know therewas that much going on,”he told the NOW.

Corrigan added he wantsresidents to know the cityis making an effort to dealwith housing affordabilityand keeping the city afford-able for people who want tostay in the community.

“That struggle is one wecontinually are working onand trying to find creativeways to deal with, but it’sdifficult,” he said.

BBOT’s president andCEO Paul Holden said themayor’s speech paints a veryoptimistic and positive pic-ture for the short, mediumand long-term future of thecity.

“I think the planninglooks great,” he said. “We’reseeing in the business com-munity that there’s a lot ofopportunity created by thisdevelopment and growth,so we’re very excited abouthow things are going.”

The mayor also spentsome time detailing devel-opments in each of the city’sfour quadrants: the Gilm-ore Station Master Planin Brentwood will see theGilmore SkyTrain stationshift from being a low den-sity commercial/office build-ing area into one with manynew residential and com-mercial buildings, fully inte-grated with the transit sta-tion.

The Lougheed Core AreaConceptual Master Planhas received final adoptionand the community planhas been amended to reflectthis new direction.

The Southgate Neigh-bourhood first phase of de-velopment is moving for-ward, describing it as 48acres that will include 180new, non-market hous-ing units to be developedthrough a partnership be-tween the City, B.C. Hous-

ing and the developer Led-ingham McAllister.

He said the city is alsocommitted to creatinga new performance andevents centre in the Me-trotownTown Centre area.

andwalkforAlzheimer’sPeter Costanzo and Rog-

er Howard have a few thingsin common.They’re bothadvocates of education. Andthey both live with Alzheim-er’s disease.

They’re the joint hon-orees for the InvestorsGroupWalk for Alzheim-er’s for NewWestminsterand Burnaby.The fundrais-ing event for the non-prof-it Alzheimer Society of B.C.takes place on Sunday, May1, with the theme “Makememories matter.”

By serving as walk hon-orees, Costanzo and How-ard will help educate peo-ple about the impact ofAlzheimer’s and other de-mentia.

Costanzo, a retired engi-neer who was born inVan-couver, actively partici-pates in the society’s localprograms, including Mindsin Motion and a supportgroup. He shares his wis-dom and experience to in-spire other family membersand caregivers.

His advice about caringfor people living with Al-zheimer’s disease and otherdementias is simple:!Answer their questions

as many times as they areasked.! It’s better to be happy

than to be right.Costanzo and wife Joy

have a close family consist-ing of two daughters and ason, five grandchildren andone great-grandchild.Theyhave all gathered for pan-cakes on Sundays for manyyears.

Howard, meantime, hasbeen deeply committed tosocial justice throughout hislife. After arriving in Cana-da from his native U.S.A. in1967, he completed a mas-ter’s degree in political sci-ence and later a PhD in so-

ciology. He and wife Patspent four years studyingand teaching in China be-fore settling into teachingcareers in the communica-tion department at SFU.

Pat describes Roger ashumorous, creative and cu-rious. He wears a buttonthat reads, “I can’t remem-ber your name either.”

Through the Alzheim-er Society of B.C., the cou-ple has found a communityof support, information andeducation.

“The involvement of vol-unteers, as well as the net-works created by caregiversand those with the diagno-sis, speaks to the relevanceof the support families canaccess,” says Howard. “Thesupport found through thesociety is respectful, accu-rate and practical.”

Burnaby residents canhonor Costanzo and How-ard, and support other localfamilies living with demen-tia, by taking part or donat-ing to the Investors GroupWalk for Alzheimer’s onMay 1.

“Memories make us whowe are,” says walk co-chairBrentVandekerckhove.

“When you walk, youhonour those who havepassed and support ourwork to provide help andhope to those living with thedisease today.”

Co-chair Conny Pet-ta encourages participa-tion because “everyonewill be touched by demen-tia, whether it’s a relative, afriend or someone in yourcommunity.You can make adifference.”

Walk registration takesplace at 9:15 a.m. at Burn-aby Lake Pavilion, 6871Roberts Street.The walkbegins at 10 a.m. and fol-lows a two-kilometre out-door route.

DID YOU FEEL THE EARTHQUAKE ONDECEMBER 29, 2015 AT 11:39PM ANDWONDERWHATYOU SHOULD DO?

The correct action to take if you feel anearthquake is to DROP, COVER, andHOLDON.And, to be certain you react quickly andcorrectly you must practice often. You mayonly have seconds to protect yourself in anearthquake, before strong shaking knocksyou down--or drops something on you.Practicing helps you be ready to respond.

If you are inside a building, move nomore than a few steps, then Drop, Coverand Hold On:• DROP to the ground (before theearthquake drops you!),• Take COVER by getting under asturdy desk or table, and• HOLDON to it until the shaking stops,and for 60 seconds afterwards.

Stay indoors until the shaking stops and youare sure it is safe to exit. In most buildings

in British Columbia you are safer if you staywhere you are until the shaking stops.

If you are outdoors when the shaking starts,you should find a clear spot away frombuildings, trees, streetlights, and powerlines, then Drop, Cover and Hold On. Staythere until the shaking stops.• DROP to the ground,• COVER your head and neck with yourarms, and• HOLDON until the shaking stops, andfor 60 seconds afterwards.

If you are driving, pull over to a clear loca-tion, stop, put your vehicle into park, andremain in the vehicle with your seatbeltfastened until the shaking stops. Once theshaking stops, proceed with caution andavoid bridges or ramps that might havebeen damaged.

Ground shaking during an earthquake is sel-dom the cause of injury. Most earthquake-related injuries and deaths are caused bycollapsing walls and roofs, flying glass and

falling objects. It is extremely importantthat you move as little as possible to reach aplace of safety because most injuries occurwhen people try to move more than a shortdistance during the shaking.

Look around you now, before an earth-quake. Identify safe places such as undera sturdy piece of furniture or against aninterior wall so that when the shaking startsyou can respond quickly. Avoid doorframes,or walls with windows, mirrors or hangingpictures. An immediate response to move toa safe place can save your life. And that safeplace should be within a few steps to avoidinjury from flying debris.

Don’t forget to register for and participatein the Great British Columbia ShakeOut Drill,the largest earthquake drill on earth. Shake-Out occurs annually on the 3rd Thursday inOctober. We want to have over 1,000,000British Columbians register and take part in2016. Register your office and your family:do the drill twice!! Visit www.shakeoutbc.caand register today.

WEEK • MAY 1-6, 2016


DoYou 72...What does THATmean?DoYou have a plan for the first 72 hours following amajor emergency?DoYou have 72 hours worth of supplies so that you can be self-sufficient?Sounds daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Preparing for emergencies is really quite easy. You might besurprised by how prepared you already are. Depending on the incident, you and your family could beon your own for several days while first responders manage the aftermath.Just follow these 3 simple steps and you will be on your way to being prepared.1. Know the RisksWe know we live in a seismically active area, so earthquakes are an obvious risk. But so are floods,fires (including accidental residential fires), severe storms, and power outages. Familiarize yourselfand your family with the ones that could occur in your community. Visit www.gov.bc.ca/preparedbcand click Know the Risks for some of the potential risks in BC.

2. Make a PlanOf all the steps, this is the one to spend the most time on. Your emergency plan will help you copewith the stress of emergencies. Who to contact, where to meet if you have to evacuate, what you willdo with your pets should all be included in your Emergency Plan.

3. Get a KitNo two families are the same; so, the same is true for what’s in your family’s emergency supplies kit.When disaster hits, there won’t be time to collect emergency supplies. Ensure you have emergencykits for your home, office and vehicle. They should all contain food, water and supplies for a mini-mum of 72 hours. See our checklist for some basic supplies.

If you live in a single family dwelling, like a house, you can use a brand new garbage canand store it outside. If you live in a multi-family complex, use a backpack or suitcase withwheels and store it in the closet. Make a “Grab ’n’Go”backpack for each family member,and store it under the bed. Be sure to secure it (tie it to the bedpost) so it doesn’t movewhen there is an earthquake!

Where am I supposed to putall these emergency supplies?

wagons of the past, packagedup in a modern all-wheel-drive machine. However,for most people the Flex’sstyling will be something toget past. But once you do...

Environment:First box checked: loadsof space. Big, wide, andcomfy, the first two rows ofthe Flex’s seating are great forpassengers. Rear seat passengersespecially will have plenty of roomto stretch out, and this top-of-the-lineLimited version even has a sunroof for each ofthe middle-seat passengers.

Third row passengers? Well, which of your kids isthe least favourite? Actually, that’s the questionyou might ask in most three-row crossovers, butthe Flex is actually pretty good in this regard.The seats have a little less padding than the fronttwo rows, but there’s plenty of room. Cargo spacebehind the rear seats is also very good.

For passengers up front, the fit and finish haveimproved over previous models, and there’s gooduse of soft-touch materials to make things feel alittle more upscale. The big change, however, isthe addition of Ford’s new Sync 3 system, whichis miles better than the old versions. It’s quicker,sharper, and simpler.

Performance:Given that the Flex looks a bit like a tipped-overrefrigerator on wheels, you might be forgivenfor thinking it was dead slow. However, if it’s arefrigerator, it’s William “The Refrigerator” Perry.

Perry, an all-star defensivelineman, wasenormous, buthe could run the100-metre dashin under twelveseconds.

Likewise, theFord Flexsurprises thecritics, especiallywhen equippedwith the 365hptwin-turboEcoboost engine.Pumping out350 lb-ft oftorque from 3.5L

Great straight-line performance and theperfect setup for driving the whole family

FordFlex

of displacement and matedto a six-speed automatic

transmission and all-wheel-drive, the Flex can run to100km/h in just under sixseconds.

It’s a completely ridiculousperformance, the kind of

numbers you’d expect froma Focus ST as delivered by a

giant retro-wagon. It’s the kingof the onramp.

However, when the road gets curvy,the Flex proves less flexible. Steering feel

is negligible, and while Ford employs its torque-vectoring tech to help control understeer, theFlex isn’t a cornering machine. On long highwaysweepers, it’s nicely composed, especially as itslower ride height gives less body roll than tallercrossovers.

Better to think of the Flex as once again a bit of oldschool, with great straight-line performance andthe perfect setup for driving the whole family tothe Grand Canyon. It’s big, fast, and capacious, justlike American cars all used to be.

Features:The styling is big box, but the Flex’s price isrelatively big ticket. Base models start with a3.5L V6, cloth seats, a backup camera, and nottoo much else. The top-spec Limited comes witha huge feature list – including automatic cruisecontrol and power-folding seats – but priced inthe mid-$50K range after all the options wereadded in. Ouch.

Official fuel economy figures for the twin-turbo3.5L are 10.7.0L/100kms on the highwayand 14.7L/100kms city. The twin-turbo V6 ismost emphatically more Boost than Eco, andconsistently got city mileage ratings even withmixed use. However, that’s because it was fun toFlex the throttle.

Green Light:Surprisingly quick; lots of interior space; manyunique interior features

Stop Sign:Sub-par fuel economy; polarizing styling; windnoise at highway speeds; high price tag when fullyloaded

The Checkered Flag:A unique, characterful take on the familycrossover. Neither cheap to buy nor to operate,but never boring.

today’sdriveYour journey starts here.

Did you ever notice that when you buyyour kid something expensive, they’drather just play with the box it camein? Boxes are fun not because they lackimagination, but because they requireit. A box can be anything. It’s the mostefficient use of space, and it can carrymore than just stuff.

This is the Ford Flex, the blue-oval’s big-box solution to family life. (I half-wishit would switch names with the Edge, as

it’s much edgier or at least squarer). It’s a blend ofwagon and minivan and crossover, and it doesn’tsell particularly well. So far this year, Ford hassold ten times as many Edges as it has Flexes.Flexii. Flexuses. Whatever.

And that’s a great shame because the Flex is oneof the few honest-feeling machines left on theroad. Yes, it’s a box, but that’s the charm of it. Ithas a lot of space for your things, it stands out in aworld of swoopy over styling, and then there’s itsone party trick. What’s in the box? Here you go.

Design:While it would be tempting to simply write, “NotApplicable,” here and move on, the Flex actuallyhas quite a lot going on in the details. The retro-modern design has a few rounded edges up front,and the facelifted-for-2013 front end still looksfresh. By writing Flex across the nose in huge,broad letters, Ford gives their three-rower a tinytaste of Range Rover. The side strakes give it a bitof a surf wagon vibe. The two tone treatment forthe roof is the kind of thing a California Kustommight get. The 20” alloys bring the big-rim bling.

All in all, there are nods here to hot-rod station

“It feels nice to share yourused items with someone inneed. Clothing provides es-sential protection againstthe elements, serves to keeppeople safe, dry and warmwhile also assisting some-one living in extreme pov-erty to function within soci-

ety to access housing, food,services, training and em-ployment.This is an oppor-tunity to recycle and benefitpeople in need,” saysWandaMulholland from the Burn-abyTask Force On Home-lessness.

“The BurnabyTask ForceOn Homelessness is gratefulfor the continued partner-ship with Creekside Com-munity Church in ensuringthe success of this impor-tant event,” says Mulhol-land.

The BurnabyTask ForceOn Homelessness invitesany interested persons toparticipate inTwice FeelsNice by bringing their do-nated items to the parking

lot of the Central ChristianAssembly 5585 ImperialAve. on Saturday, May 14between noon and 2 p.m.

Forthe loveofMozartStudents go all out with masquerade [email protected]

Douglas Road Elementa-ry students donned elabo-rately decorated masks andhit the gym floor for a mas-querade ball last week tocelebrate the life and musicof Mozart.

As part of the school’s in-volvement in theVancou-ver Symphony OrchestraMusic Connects program,grade 4 and 6 students inDerek Milloy’s andTeresaMigliuri’s classes have beenstudying the Austrian com-poser since March, and theball was the culmination oftheir efforts.

Besides dancing, theevent featured a Mozartpiece played by a UBC bas-soonist and a recorder num-ber by the students whoplayed variations on thetune of TwinkleTwinkle Lit-tle Star in a nod to Mozart’sTwelveVariations on“Ah vousdirai-je,Maman.”

Douglas Road waspicked to participate inMusic Connects for thefirst time this year, and stu-dents in all grades will geta chance to learn aboutmusic through the programover the next two years.

For the students, learn-ing about Mozart – in amodule called Composer’sTrunk – the fun began withthe arrival of a mysterioustrunk from theVSO.

“It was sitting in myroom for about three weeksbefore I opened it,” Doug-las Road music teacher AriCon said.

Inside were a white wig,magic flute, feather pen,manuscript, family pic-tures, CD of Mozart’s mu-sic, map of Austria, booksabout the composer, partyhats, balloons, streamers,masquerade mask, excerpts

from a journal Mozartwrote and an orchestralscore.

“It all led to Mozart, acelebration of his life andmusic,” Con said.

For the Douglas Roadmusic teacher, theVSOprogram is a valuable tool

for exposing kids to differ-ent kinds of music.

“Especially where weare, the kids don’t have op-portunities to go the Or-pheumTheatre or hearsymphonic music, so anyexperience we can bring tothem is a plus,” she said.

BurnabyLakeembracesunderdogroleBLRC goes up against undefeatedThunderbirds for B.C.premier club [email protected]

There may be some who dis-count Burnaby Lake RugbyClub’s chances in Saturday’s Ca-nadian Direct Insurance (CDI)Premier League final against theUBCThunderbirds.

For those that do, BLRCcoach Kris De Scossa can seewhy.

In a league where UBC hasbuilt a program which funnelsplayers to the national men’steam regularly and takes in inter-national players who study at theinstitute, tomorrow’s champion-ship paints a David and Goliathscene.

Analogies aside, De Scossa is a

firm believer in his boys.“The level of competition to

get to this place has been great,”remarked De Scossa. “We’ve hadto measure up against some tre-mendous opponents, includingUBC.

“After losing about half a doz-en players to injury through theyear we knew when we wantedto peak, and the season would beabout peaking at the right time.”

To advance to the final, Burna-by trumped James Bay 24-16 lastweek, while UBC mauled UVic50-15.

In their victory, Burnaby gottries from Joe Dolesau and JekeGotegote, with James Reekiecounting the penalty kicks.

This will be the third time the

teams have crossed paths thisseason, with the most recent en-counter a 10-7 win for UBC thatkicked off the CDI playdowns.

If Burnaby is going to knockout the undefeated and defend-ing champs, a lot of credit will goto the lessons learned on the way,said De Scossa.

“Our route had us play JamesBay, Capilano and James Bayagain...Those teams both bringa physicality to the game that ismassive, and we came out ahead.I’m proud of our lads and theycontinue to grow together as ateam.”

The lineup may not haveUBC’s level of international ex-perience, but has a number ofplayers who’ve gone to war at the

higher level, he noted, with halfthe squad 23-and under.

“We have nothing to lose,” saidBurnaby’s coach. “We’ve had tofight tooth-and-nail to get in thethe final, and we’ve seen every-thing that they can bring.

“(UBC) is very smart and theyhave a number of players who arethe future of the national team,but sometimes favourites don’twin.”

The championship final kicksoff at 4:15 p.m. Saturday at Kla-hanie Park inWestVancouver aspart of a six-game champion-ship day.

“I think we will edge it out...It’s going to be a great gamefor fans to watch, because bothteams love to attack.”

RoadtoplayoffsstartnowBurnaby juniorLakers set sights onplayoffs in [email protected]

A win is a win, but Burnaby Lakerscoach Brad Parker hopesTuesday’s de-cision over archrival NewWestminsteris the shape of things to come whenthe games count.

The visiting Lakers rode some stel-lar netminding and a four-goal per-formance from Kyle Heiling to edgethe Salmonbellies 8-6 – an exhibitionvictory whose importance will evapo-rate with the start of the B.C. Junior ALacrosse League regular season nextweek.

The energy and enthusiasm on dis-play at Queen’s Park Arena, especiallyover the final 10 minutes when Heilingbroke a 6-6 stalemate, provides a tem-plate for what the coach feels are rea-sons for optimism.

“We may not be as skilled as someof our opponents, but what we wantto do is out-run and out-work them,”said Parker, in his third year behindthe Lakers bench. “That’s kind of whatwe saw (Tuesday).”

With a roster peppered with inter-mediate and junior B players, Burna-by rolled out and grabbed a 5-2 leadin the first period, but witnessed somesteady push-back by a similarly youth-ful Bellies lineup.They closed the gapand tied it 6-6 just 44 seconds in thethird, seemingly capturing momentumfor the final frame.

But netminderThomas Hankinsproved to be the biggest obstacle forNewWest.

The Maple Ridge native kickedaside 52 shots over the 60-minute con-test to be the difference maker, andprovided Parker with a pleasant co-nundrum as the season nears.

“We’ve got a No. 1 goalie (GrahamHusick) and we expect him back, but(Hankins) really stood on his head.I’m pretty confident with our netmind-ing, knowing he’s back there.”

For Heiling, this season is all aboutthe team.

Last year, due to work commitmentsand a desire to play with his friends, heplayed junior B in Maple Ridge.Thistime, the 5-foot-9 lefthander is anxiousto play at the highest level and help hisnew team climb the charts.

“I really want to help us make theplayoffs, I’ve got friends on this teamand it’s a good place for me,” said Hei-ling, who tallied 10 goals in 11 gameswhile with Coquitlam in 2014. “If Ican contribute with some big goals

than happy to contribute to a major mile-stone, even if he had to go toWinnipeg toachieve it.

Lawrence lashed a two-run triple inGame 1 for the Mayville State Universi-ty Comets in a tilt against the UniversityofWinnipeg, cueing a big win for manag-er Scott Berry and the NAIA baseball pro-gram.

The infielder’s hit put the Comets aheadfor good in the opening 7-4 win, which wasfollowed by victories of 3-2 and 12-3 to get

Berry to the 1,000-win plateau.A second team regional conference all-

star for Douglas College last year, Lawrencecame to the South Dakota campus aftertransferring over from CentralWashingtonin December. Ever since, he’s been rackingup the hits.

As a college junior, the former BurnabyBulldogs prospect has rotated around theComets’ infield, playing first, third and DHand has accumulated a .481 batting average,with three long balls and 18 RBI, over just19 games and 27 at bats.
