SMOKE ALARMS: A Sound You Can Live With Mohsin Abbas Diversity Reporter Staff
V
ICTORIA – This is Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 3-9, the Province is reminding British Columbians to test their smoke alarms and have a home fire escape plan. This year’s campaign is Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With, which focuses on educating residents on the proper installation, testing and maintenance of household smoke alarms, and how to plan and practise escaping from a residence, should a fire occur. This year’s theme is timely due to recent changes to the BC Fire Code, which improve public safety by requiring smoke alarms in all homes. In May of this year, the Province introduced new regulations under the B.C. Fire Code requiring every private dwelling, hotel and motel room in the province to be equipped with functioning smoke alarms. In homes and buildings built prior to 1979, battery-operated smoke alarms may be installed rather than hard-wired, interconnected devices. Smoke alarms are cost effective devices, which can alert occupants of fire at its early stages, saving lives and property. Fire departments from across British Columbia will again participate in the Community Fire
What you need to know about smoke alarms: Drill on Wednesday, October 6, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. All participating fire departments will have their trucks outside their halls and may sound their sirens to signify the start of the drill at 6:30 p.m. When residents hear the sirens, they should test their smoke alarm, then practise their escape plan and gather at their predetermined meeting place. Residents are encouraged to discuss their plan with their local fire department if they have questions or concerns. The National Fire Protection Association recommends installing smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Homeowners should also check the date of manufacture on installed smoke alarms. If your alarm is more than 10 years old, it should be replaced. Established in Canada in 1919, Fire Prevention Week is an annual event during the week of Oct. 8, the date of one of the most significant fires in North America, the 1871 Chicago Fire. The main objective is to raise awareness of fire safety and keep the public informed.
1- Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of a home including the basement, outside each sleeping area and in each bedroom. Large homes may need additional smoke alarms. Never remove or disable smoke alarms. 2- Test your smoke alarm once a month by pressing the “test” button to ensure it sounds. If your smoke alarm chirps on its own, the battery is low and needs to be replaced. Batteries should be replaced at least once a year. 3- Smoke alarms that are more than 10 years old need to be replaced. This includes battery operated and hardwired alarms. Check the back or side of a smoke alarm for the manufacture date. 4- Interconnecting smoke alarms are highly recommended; when one smoke alarm sounds, they all do. This is particularly important in large or multi-storey homes, where the sound from a distant smoke alarm may be reduced to the point that it may not be loud enough to provide proper warning, especially to sleeping individuals. – Courtesy City of Victoria

Diversity is in Fashion Robin Adams, producer/director of Global Fashions reflects on a job well done and looks to the future Brennan Storr

R
obin Adams is one busy lady. The 21-year-old works in dental hygiene regulation for the province of B.C. and just last month saw several months of planning come to fruition with the “Global Fashions on One World Stage” fashion show. Models of all shapes, ages, and cultural backgrounds graced the runway at the gala event, held in Victoria. She recently took time out of her schedule to speak with Diversity Reporter about her life, Global Fashions, and her plans for the future. Tell our readers a little bit about yourself, Robin. I’m a fourth-generation Canadian; my family emigrated from New York, Germany, Scotland and England. For almost three years now I have beenworking in medical regulation with the B.C. government and have been a volunteer with the Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Center Society for about as long. I became a board member with them this past summer, and I also joined the board of the African AIDS Angels Society. I founded the Global Fashions on One World Stage show in March of this year. How did Global Fashions come about? I can’t remember exactly how it all started. I think I was speaking with some people from VIRCS about funding issues and government budget cuts. I asked why fundraising alternatives were not being pursued and the answer was simply that
no one had the time. I said to myself, “I’ve got time, why don’t I do it?”
What kind of response have you had? A very positive one. Everyone in the Where did you go from there? show loved being in the show, they all I started to look at, “What are my rewant to come back next year.

An Indian Thanksgiving! The Turkey - East Indian Style Special Thanks to Michael Sherwood
T
he turkey is the centerpiece of the our East Indian Feast. People jockey for the dark meat or the white breasts. We’ve added a spice rub under the skin and a glaze over the outside skin. You may have your own favorite method that works for you. Congrats. Add the spice rub below to your routine and you are good to go. We’ve tried brining the bird (which makes it oh so moist), I’ve fried it (too intense for me), slow baked and fast baked. Below is the ‘fast bake’ method. We tend to soak the bird in a cooler filled with water, ice, bay leaves, pepper corns and salt overnight before and prep it Thanksgiving morning. The salt opens up the cell walls so the meat proteins fill with water. Here’s what you need: One (14- to 16-lb) turkey, neck and giblets (excluding liver) reserved for turkey giblet stock. The Rub: 3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted 3/4 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted 4 garlic
cloves, chopped 1 (1 1/2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated 3 tablespoons vegetable oil plus additional for greasing pan 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

The City of Victoria’s award-winning 2009 Annual Report can be viewed or downloaded in PDF format through the City’s website at www.victoria.ca and by clicking on the “City Hall” tab. The City of Victoria’s Annual Report has also received the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officer’s Association (GFOA) of the United States and Canada for five consecutive years.
Here’s what you do: 1. Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F. 2. Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Mix the rub in a blender. Rub it evenly in turkey cavities. Then under the skin.
Take a piece of plastic wrap and wrap it around your index finger. Use the plastic and your finger to separate the skin from the bird. Massage the rub under the skin as well. Fold neck skin under body and, if desired, secure with metal skewer, then tuck wing tips under breast and tie drumsticks together with heavy kitchen string. 3. Put turkey on rack in a large flameproof roasting pan. Roast, rotating pan 180 degrees halfway through roasting, until thermometer inserted into fleshy part of each thigh (close to but not touching bone) registers 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours. 3. Carefully tilt turkey so juices from inside large cavity run into roasting pan. Transfer turkey to a platter (do not clean roasting pan) and let stand 30 minutes (temperature of thigh meat will rise to 180°F). Cut off and discard string from turkey. Note: We don’t recommend this highheat roasting method for turkeys weighing more than 16 pounds. However, for turkeys weighing less than 14 pounds, start checking the temperature earlier. If you only have a dark-colored metal roasting pan or your pan juices start to look very dark, add 1 cup water to the roasting pan.

The Joy of Compassion in Action
V
ictoria - Saturday’s GET MOVING for Pakistan fundraising event on Saturday filled Victoria’s Yoga Shala with shiny, smiling faces. It was a day for meetings of new friends and old, playing with new movement experiences, and putting together some much-needed support for the people of Pakistan. GET MOVING! for Pakistan got rolling at 5pm on Saturday October 2nd, with a Groove Method Fitness class. Instructor Rhiannon Webb of The Floor - Art & Movement, led about 15 progressively cheery, dancing adults and one very bouncy 3 yr old in a sweaty series of simple dance moves. The music was foot-tapping, body-shaking, finger-snapping fun, and got everyone moving in joyful expression of individuality. After a few minutes break, Jennifer Pritchard of the Yoga Shala and Anthea Browne of Peace in Presence
took the floor. A flurry of activity surrounded the end of the Silent Auction, as bidding wars ensued for favoured items. For a complete list of the event’s generous sponsors, visit www.getmovingforpakistan.blogspot.com/ At final count, over $650 was collected, which, when matched by the Canadian Government, totals $1300 for the people of Pakistan. The money will be given to Canadian Medical Assistance Teams, www.canadianmedicalteams.org/, to go towards medical aid, which will go a long way in Pakistan. Report by Anthea Browne

OPINION
Giving Thanks to Farmers Lana Popham
T
he harvest season is a time to gather with family and friends over a hearty home-cooked meal and reflect on all the good things we have. It is amazing how harvest festivals across the world, from Thanksgiving to Diwali to the Moon Festival, have a similar spirit of thankfulness. I believe the joy in these festivals comes from the fact that food brings people together. Regardless of who we are or where we are from, we all need to eat to live. The joy of eating both defines and transcends culture. Here on Vancouver Island we have a lot to be thankful for, a mild climate, beautiful communities, and the ability to pursue many opportunities both at work and play. However, one thing I think we sometimes forget to be thankful for is local food and the farmers that grow and harvest it.
After a summer of bountiful blueberries, scrumptious strawberries, and glorious greens, I know I am deeply thankful for the farmers who have worked to bring fresh healthy food to my table.
The food that grows in our communities is part of our shared culture. Here on the island, kale, tomatoes, broccoli, peas, mustards and beans thrive in backyard gardens and berries of every kind are grown and harvested by our dedicated farmers,
and whether you’re in James Bay or Oak Bay or somewhere between - it’s possible to get honey produced in almost every neighbourhood in Greater Victoria. Living on an island, we ought to be especially thankful for those who work the soil and tend our orchards, and those who take that bounty and bring it to markets for us to enjoy. The farmers’ market season has come to a close, but for many farmers the work is far from finished. There are still many crops to be harvested and soil to care for. Our farmers work hard and deserve our support. The best way to support our local farmers is to eat the delicious food they harvest. Take the time to look for food grown and harvested here in B.C. you’ll be getting a product that tastes delicious, supports our communities and strengthens our economy. It is also better for the planet, and that is good for all of us - no matter where we are or
Come advertise with us!
where we are from. If farmers can’t make a living they won’t grow food for us. With the unknowns of climate change and an uncertain future, it is in our best interest to ensure we produce food here at home. Food imported from across the globe may not always be available or accessible. Even if food grown far away is available, buying local food at the market and the grocery store means we are not only getting the best and freshest food, we are helping grow our communities from the ground up. I hope that this harvest season everyone takes a moment to be thankful for the good food they have and the farmers that grew it. Lana Popham is MLA for SaanichSouth, and the New Democrat agriculture critic.
