Community Fund would go a long way to equipping the gym of the school’s dreams. The Aviva Community Fund is an annual competition held by Aviva Insurance to distribute $1 million to worthy projects in Canada that help create positive change. From an initial pool of 650 entrants, three qualifying rounds and a semi-final round of online voting will determine 30 finalists to which judges can award grants ranging from $5,000 to $150,000 until the prize pool is exhausted. Previous winners include

accessible playgrounds, a therapeutic garden for seniors and a bear rescue facility. Jayme says a well-equipped gym at STM will become an amenity that benefits the whole community by helping student athletes fulfill their potential and creating opportunities for healthy, constructive extracurricular activities. Securing an Aviva grant would not only help make that happen, it would also send a positive message to potential contributors as well as those who’ve already helped out. please see ‘every vOte cOuNtS,’ A4

Ball hockey will not be played on the wooden floor at Bill Copeland Sports Complex until further notice, after concerns about damage following a recent tournament. The $668,000 wooden floor was installed in 2011 primarily for the use of lacrosse teams, said a report by parks and recreation director Dave Ellenwood. Ball hockey, inline hockey and other floor sports have been played at Kensington and Burnaby Lake arenas. Special events, such as high school graduations and the 2012 BC Seniors Games, used Copeland while a protective covering was placed over the wooden floor. When Metro Minor Ball Hockey requested use of Copeland for the 2012 Western Challenge Cup, held July 12 to 15, all three Burnaby arenas were required. City staff agreed to allow it based on an understanding the event could be managed so it would not likely do permanent damage; if any significant damage was done it could be repaired during its first please see bALL, A4

Rowing club needs Ottawa: Corrigan Increased use of Burnaby Lake since dredging completed Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

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 MArIO BArteL/neWsLeADer FILe Over the years more than 50 Olympic and world champions have rowed and paddled at Burnaby Lake. the 1930s and was highlighted by its use In July, the Canadian national rowing team held a training session at the lake en route to the 2012 during the 1973 Canada Summer Games.

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 nonstarter,” 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.

BROKE hosts town hall on pipeline expansion Westridge resident will recount personal impact of 2007 spill Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

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 TsleilWaututh 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).

Four Burnaby residents were among 48 from across B.C. to be recognized with Coast Capital Savings Education Awards recently. Mikayla Louie, Aliya Dossa and Elyse Gawley each received $2,000 Citizenship Awards for their accomplishments academically, personally and in the community. Louie is pursuing a bachelor of science at Simon Fraser University while volunteering at South Burnaby Neighbourhood House, working with families, and at Willingdon Park Hospital working oneon-one with seniors. Alice Yue of Burnaby was recognized with a $5,000 Standing Tall Award for making a positive impact on her community in the face of a personal challenge. She has led Byrne Creek secondary’s 30-hour famine, math week and provincewide science competitions and is currently studying health information science at the University of Victoria. The credit union distributed $144,000 in awards across the province.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

In the media glare “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. – Black Press

The woman on the corner 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

Anne Hopkinson 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 thankyous, 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.

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.

COMMENT

Lougheed Laser DENTAL GROUP

A two-tier system? Re: 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. K. Raadsheer, Burnaby

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

INTRODUCING YOUR NEW SMILE PARTNER, DR. DANIAL DEHESHI

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 everincreasing fares. They deserve a system that’s reliable and shows up on time. Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby

Business voices push transit funding reform Quiet talks underway to broker deal for TransLink Jeff Nagel Black 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 portrelated 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

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.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY Keep your home fire safe with a few easy tips Saturday, October 13th | 9:30am - 5:00pm

Kitchen • Avoid loose long sleeves when cooking. • Check kettles and toasters for damaged electrical cords and thermostats. • Use appliances that have an automatic shutoff. • 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. • Never leave lit candles unattended.

BedRoom • Install at least one smoke alarm outside each sleeping area. For improved safety, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom. • Check electrical appliances regularly: electric blankets, heating pads, curling irons, radios, televisions, irons. • Bedrooms should be non-smoking areas.

Basement and attic • Remove all combustible and flammable materials from the basement and attic. • Store gasoline in well-ventilated areas. • Do not store propane indoors. • Use only approved containers to store and transport gasoline. • Have a thorough yearly maintenance check of the furnace carried out by a professional. • When replacing an old furnace, consult a professional to determine the most safe, economical and efficient system for your home. • Chimneys should be cleaned once a year.

gaRage and WoRKshop • Flammable materials – thinners, gasoline, paints, industrial cleaners – should be stored neatly in approved containers and away from possible ignitable sources. • Do not smoke, or leave matches or lighters in the garage or workshop. • Install and know how to properly use the appropriate fire extinguisher for the garage/ workshop. • Keep the area clean. Remove garbage, paper products, oily rags and wood shavings regularly.

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

Smoke alarms save lives “Fall back” to smart home safety 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, everyone 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 CSAapproved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recommended.

• Replace smoke alarms every 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether battery operated or hardwired into your home’s electrical system. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm. In addition 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 responsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death. More home safety resources can be found on the www. safeathome.ca web site.

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.

Thanksgiving turkey fires cause for concern at 9-1-1 centre E -Comm’s fire dispatch team is warning families to be mindful of their turkey cooking during Thanksgiving weekend. “A turkey isn’t something you typically see on a list of household fire hazards, 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.”

Many fatal fires start at night Investigations into home fire deaths very often find that a smoke alarm did not sound. It may have been disconnected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or someone may have taken them out. Smoke alone won’t necessarily 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 family members to put safety measures into place. As well, family members 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 protect 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.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

What is your escape plan?

CITY OF BURNABY

Office of the Mayor

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.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

A 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.

Steelers stop Devils The 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 top Vancouver 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.

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.

Metro’s hot property zones giving up gains: expert Real estate sales sag, prices drop in some cities Jeff Nagel

jnagel@blackpress.ca

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.

Giving you some time back at Morgan Crossing

Living the artistic life at the lofts at The Summit House by Kerry Vital

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 cookiecutter 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,

“

These are the only lofts available in South Surrey,” says Bryan Woolley, president of Fingerprint Strategies.
