Charmaigne Pflugrath, the City of Burnaby’s emergency program coordinator, and Ken Ou, the chef du cuisine at Riverway Clubhouse, check out some of the supplies that would comprise a typical home emergency kit. The city is holding a Disaster Chef competition, challenging cooks to come up with recipes for times of crisis using emergency supplies.

The contest is a way to inspire people to start thinking about the nitty-gritty details of how they’ll cope in the 72 hours after a disaster, the period emergency kits are meant to supply a family with what it needs.

“We’re finding a lot of people are thinking about being prepared but are not actively getting prepared,” said Charmaigne Pflugrath, Burnaby’s emergency program

coordinator.

She noted recent flooding in Alberta, the train derailment tragedy in Quebec and the wildfires threatening homes in the Okanagan are all reminders of the need to be ready in case of a disaster.

The cooking competition came about through sharing ideas in the local emergency planning community, said Pflugrath, who organized it following a suggestion from a colleague in Richmond.

Burnaby-Douglas will be no longer after the next federal election following a final decision by the Electoral Boundaries Commission of B.C. to move ahead with a Burnaby NorthSeymour riding.

The commission’s decision, announced Wednesday, comes despite much opposition from residents of both North Burnaby and part of North Vancouver District to the idea of representing the two communities from one constituency that spans Burrard Inlet.

It also comes despite the urging of a Conservativedominated parliamentary committee back in June that the commission reconsider its decision.

It did reconsider it but on reflection, decided to stick by its earlier decision, making it final. The commission has the last say on the matter.

The proposed riding changes will now await royal assent, which is expected to take place in the House of Commons on Sept. 19.

Positive approach to pedestrian safety RCMP award Musical Ride tickets to walkers obeying the rules Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

WANDA CHOW/NEWSLEADER

Const. Wade Young hands out RCMP Musical Ride tickets to a pair of pedestrians who exhibited proper behaviour while crossing Kingsway near the Metropolis at Metrotown Mall.

Burnaby RCMP officers were practising a positive approach to pedestrian safety near the Metropolis at Metrotown mall Wednesday.

Traffic officers Const. Wade Young and Const. Jonathan Gillis were handing out free tickets to the RCMP Musical Ride show, at Swangard Stadium on Aug. 27, to parents with young kids who modelled proper behaviour while crossing Kingsway.

They took note when one mother had her daughter press the pedestrian signal button, and the young girl continued to check for cars as she crossed the street. The officers rewarded them with the tickets and the recipients of the positive compliments walked away all smiles.

Kingsway is a corridor where a lot of jaywalking occurs by people crossing to and from the Metrotown mall, said Young.

“We’re trying to get the story out … good things happen when you use the crosswalk.”

Gillis noted it’s illegal for people to cross against the traffic signal even when they’re in a crosswalk.

“A lot are under the misconception that just because they’re in a crosswalk they have the right of way when in fact that’s not true,” Gillis said.

Incidents where pedestrians are struck by cars are often caused by people jaywalking or disobeying traffic signals, Young said.

And whether the pedestrian has the right of way or not, it’s “usually the pedestrian not faring out as well when they’re injured,” Gillis added. twitter.com/WandaChow

‘All about thinking through emergency planning process’ ⫸

continued from FRONT

Figuring out meals is all part of an overall planning exercise people should undergo, which includes understanding the risk, making plans to contact and reunite with family in a safe place, and putting an emergency kit together.

Along with non-perishable food items and other supplies, it’s recommended the kit include two litres of water for each family member per day. Burnaby encourages people to increase that to four litres per person a day to provide for food preparation and sanitation.

Water purchased pre-sealed in bottles or jugs should be replaced every two years or by the best-

before date it’s stamped with, she said. But water people bottle themselves should be replaced every six months and only stored in clean jugs that have only ever held water, to prevent bacterial growth from old milk jugs for instance.

She suggests for people living in condos or townhouses the kit be stored in a wheeled backpack in an easily accessible place such as a front hall closet. People living in houses could repurpose their old garbage cans or buy new ones, the kind with wheels and lids, allowing the kit to be stored outside in the backyard.

As for the cooking competition, while freeze-dried or ready-to-eat meals are fine for

the emergency kits, they’re not permitted as ingredients in the recipe contest.

Pflugrath said her own family’s kit includes non-perishable foods that match what’s in her pantry.

That allows her to use them in her regular cooking when she needs to refresh what’s in her kit. It also allows for post-disaster meals that her family is familiar and comfortable with.

“Remember that you will be in a highly anxious state … The likelihood of encouraging a fouryear-old to eat something that’s unfamiliar, it’s already difficult on a daily basis, so why give yourself that extra anxiety?”

Contestants will be expected to include recipe directions using

camp stoves and other equipment available to them after a disaster.

The five finalists will also be using that equipment at the Disaster Chef cookoff outside Burnaby city hall, with no electricity provided, on Oct. 17, which is also the date of the Great British Columbia ShakeOut, the annual provincewide earthquake drill.

A judging panel will choose the finalists and the winner of the live cookoff will be chosen by EBO executive chef Dan Craig and Riverway Clubhouse executive chef Hugh Izumi.

Pflugrath said it’s all about thinking through the emergency planning process and being prepared with everything that’s needed to survive, from pots,

pans, dishes and cutlery to fuel for the campstove.

It’s common for people to include canned goods in their emergency kits but forget the can opener, she noted.

“They also put in the cans and the food and all that great stuff and forget the toilet paper.”

• Entries must consist of three original recipes, one each for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each must feed one adult, and use only non-perishable food ingredients typically found at a supermarket and no more than a total of two litres of water for all three recipes.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

In the cards

TransLink is about to launch its biggest innovation — the new Compass card to replace cash fares and the Faresaver system — and, come on, can’t we give this muchmaligned transportation authority some time to get it right?

The $180-million electronic ticketing system got dumped all over last week because it turns out bus users who pay with cash fares will have to pay a second time to get on SkyTrain. It’s too costly to retrofit buses with terminals allowing cash purchases of a single Compass ticket that will work on the whole transit system.

This could place a financial hardship on about 6,000 people a day who start their trip on buses and don’t want to pay a $6 deposit for a Compass Card.

But here’s the thing: If those riders who prefer cash fares could be convinced to get a Compass card, the new system would be more efficient and the money paid to get the system running will be a good investment. What’s more, an incentive, similar to discounts provided by TReO to win over drivers on the new Port Mann Bridge, will get more early adopters and smooth the transition.

Right now, people are anxious; they don’t understand how the card will work and they worry about being inconvenienced. TreO took care of that, too, by making it easy for people to sign up online.

We don’t yet know what the fares will be. TransLink must be on top of its game, ensuring it’s no more expensive to ride transit with Compass than with the old system.

The fact is, the Compass card is coming. It’s being tested in a few weeks and will roll out gradually next year. It will end fare abuse because it works in tandem with turnstiles, and if efficiently introduced, will match world-class systems, such as in London, where the Oyster card is ubiquitous.

But a clear, concise and multiplatform public relations plan, along with discounts, will be required to ensure a relatively seamless transition.

Independence is required A fatal crash involving a semi-truck and a pedestrian on Langley Bypass earlier this month, just inside the Surrey border, raises far more questions than the answers provided thus far.

Why do police continue to have the power to investigate the actions of someone who is working for them, when we have an Independent Investigations Office (IIO) which is supposed to remove blatant conflicts of interest?

This particular incident involved a civilian contractor who does regular work for police agencies. He was working for Surrey RCMP, investigating the circumstances of a deadly crash involving a truck and a police cruiser driven by Surrey RCMP Const. Adrian Oliver on Nov. 12, 2012, at the corner of 64 Avenue and 148 Street.

The contractor was using a semi-truck as part of the work he was doing related to the police investigation.

Frank Bucholtz A few hours later, the truck was eastbound when it struck a 37-year-old Langley man in the 19500-block of Langley Bypass.

The driver did not stop.

Police put out a public plea for information, and a short time later, the truck was located.

Soon afterwards, it was traced to the contractor.

Surrey RCMP deserve credit for quickly letting the public know the suspect is a contractor who was working for them on a case involving the death of an RCMP officer. This type of transparency has not always been on display from police.

Surrey RCMP also stated that, because the man was a contractor who worked for

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

them, the investigation would be observed by another police agency. While that is a step toward making this an arm’s length investigation, it is far too tentative.

We have seen from the Robert Dziekanski case, and numerous others, that police cannot investigate incidents involving fellow officers and remain 100-per-cent objective. That isn’t a criticism. It’s human nature.

Because of the Dziekanski case and others, the province set up the IIO. Thus far, it has been called in to a number of cases, many of them quite minor. This is exemplary. When police officers are involved in an assault, crash or shooting death, it makes sense that someone from outside be given the power to investigate.

The legislation setting up the IIO did not make allowances for the agency to investigate civilian police employees (those who are not officers), or contractors doing work for police agencies. Yet

it would seem logical the same conflicts of interest which have caused so much public concern would be present when RCMP are tasked with probing a fatal crash involving someone working for them.

This is particularly true when the contractor is doing work on a case involving the death of a fellow RCMP officer.

The death of Oliver prompted a great outpouring of support for Surrey RCMP and the work they do, which was appropriate.

But to pretend RCMP investigators are able to set their emotions completely aside while investigating such a crash is to suggest that police officers are not human beings.

An argument could well be made that the IIO should investigate all deaths of police officers, given the emotional impact of such deaths.

Two people were sent to hospital after a fire at an apartment building in South Burnaby early Wednesday morning.

The incident started out as a report to police around 2 a.m. of a domestic dispute or yelling and screaming coming from one of the apartments, said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis.

When officers arrived at the threestorey apartment complex in the 5900block of Wilson Avenue they discovered a fire in the bedroom of an apartment,

believed to be the source of the initial disturbance, Buis said.

“The police officer tried to put it out as they were calling the fire department.

When the fire department came they saw the flames coming out of the windows and they were able to knock it down pretty quick.”

One of the apartment residents and a Burnaby RCMP officer suffered smoke inhalation. They were sent to hospital where they were treated and released.

The building was evacuated for several hours with the help of the

City of Burnaby’s emergency services department. Residents were allowed back to their homes by 8 a.m.

Buis said one unit was damaged by fire with smoke damage potentially affecting other units as well.

As for the initial disturbance, he said, “We think it was some kind of fight, we’re still trying to determine that. One person was seen leaving the area, no description at this point.”

Police arson investigators were at the scene Wednesday, he said. The cause of the fire is “undetermined but it is suspicious.”

Gordon said Harper won’t be able to ignore the chiefs’ resolution, although he might send it to a committee for a lengthy period of study.

He said there are signs even Harper is positioning his government for a pivot on the issue, noting the recent cabinet shuffle saw the departure of several law-and-order hardliners, including former Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.

A B.C. justice ministry spokesperson said police in B.C. must enforce the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act as it now stands and any changes to the legislation would be up to Ottawa.

Meanwhile, Sensible BC’s Dana Larsen said 1,000 canvassers are registered so far to collect signatures starting Sept. 9.

He said he hopes to have at least 2,000 in place by that date and to gain more – the group has a target of 5,000 – as the marijuana decriminalization campaign gathers steam.

They’ll have 90 days to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts.

Larsen said the Fight HST campaign had 3,000 canvassers in place at the outset and got another 2,000 to 3,000 in the ensuing weeks.

“I’m cautiously optimistic,” he said.

No formal opponent of the initiative registered with Elections BC by an Aug. 12 deadline. Had a group done so it would have had a spending limit of approximately $1 million to counter Sensible BC. Groups and individuals can still sponsor advertising for and against the petition, but will be subject to a $5,000 limit.

A recommendation to let police treat simple marijuana possession as a ticketing offence is being opposed by the head of a provincial campaign to decriminalize pot.

Dana Larsen, whose group Sensible BC is set to kick off a petition campaign next month to force a referendum on marijuana policy, says the new resolution from the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is counter-productive.

BC Liberals out-spent NDP on way to provincial election win

BEST COFFEE?

Jeff Nagel

The BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to a come-frombehind provincial election victory.

The governing party, which listed $8.5 million in donations, out-spent the NDP, which listed spending of $9.4 million and received $9.7 million.

The disclosures released by Elections BC Monday include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period when specific limits apply.

The Liberals spent more in advance of the May 15 election.

Within the 60-day campaign itself, the

Liberals spent nearly $4.3 million to the NDP’s $4.1 million.

Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources.

NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations.

The Green Party of B.C., which won its historic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, did so on spending of just $180,000.

The Green Party spent more than the

Province should review more roadside driving bans: NDP Jeff Nagel Black Press

The NDP’s justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling.

Leonard Krog said the government should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weighing challenges turns out to have been incorrect. The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the review process, deciding a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol screening devices was inadmissible.

Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed. Krog said the government must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties, because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police, not a judge.

The central party expenses don’t count the additional spending at the local level by individual candidates or constituency associations.

Organizations that filed expense reports as election advertising sponsors ranged from large groups like the B.C. Teachers Federation and the Mining Association of B.C. to tiny ones like Kamloops Moms for Clean Air and Denman Opposes Coal.

The bulk of sponsors were teachers unions, other labour organizations, or environmental groups.

One call for seniors care questions Fraser Health sets up phone number to help seniors stay independent Diane Strandberg Black Press

Fraser Health has made it easier for families to locate services to help seniors stay independent and in their homes longer.

Information about resources and referral services has been centralized and people can now call 1-855-

412-2121 daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to speak with trained, multi-lingual staff.

Carl Meadows, director of clinical programs for home health, said callers can find out about support services or arranging for a clinic or home visit for further assessment.

Some of the supports that can be provided help with: • home support (bathing/grooming/ toileting/feeding); • in-home health

CHOICEquotes Carl Meadows, Fraser Health Our philosophy is ‘home is best.’

care; • nursing clinics in all communities; • day programs for seniors; • services to give caregivers a break.

Having only one number to call improves and streamlines client support, said Meadows.

We’re ready to be

“Our philosophy is ‘home is best,’” Meadows said, noting that people can get help developing a plan so elderly people can stay independent and at home longer, even after a hospital stay, or when they are having difficulties looking after themselves.

The new centralized system has also been integrated with B.C.’s acute care hospitals so people can return home more easily with appropriate nursing and other supports.

But Meadows advises people not to wait for a health emergency to plan for assistance for their loved one.

“We don’t want them to wait until their mother has fallen, humans are like this,

particularly around caregiver burnout.

Families will adjust and move their lives around incredibly, and then they’re on the burning platform.

Humans don’t do a lot of pre-planning.”

Among the questions people ask themselves are: Can mom stay home safely by herself ?

Who will help Dad with his personal care when I’m at work? I no longer think I can live at home alone. I think I need some help, but what is available?

Meadows said Home Health Service Line staff can make suggestions and refer a client for a clinic or home assessment.

The new number is already in service for new clients, but current Home Health users can continue to call their local Home Health office for assistance.

People can also call 211 to look for community, social or government services.

Coal fight turns to Texada Island

AuGuST 28

Anti-coal campaigners opposed to a new coalhandling terminal in Surrey have turned to Powell River in their search for allies.

The proposed Fraser Surrey Docks terminal would take coal by rail and then send it by barge to Texada Island, just a few kilometres offshore of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast. Up to eight million tonnes of coal a year could be barged there and stockpiled for transfer to ocean-going ships.

Activist Paula Williams said the potential 20-fold increase from the existing coal shipments out of Texada could bring “serious health implications” for Powell River residents and potential marine environment damage.

Port Metro Vancouver has not yet ruled on whether the new terminal can be built, but it has been opposed by Metro Vancouver, several local cities and faces demands from medical health officers for a health impact assessment.

The province will spray herbicides for the first time to control cordgrass, an invasive weed that’s taken root in tidal areas of Boundary Bay and Roberts Bank.

The work begins Aug. 19 and is limited to infestations on cobble beaches, salt marshes and intertidal mudflats, with follow-up spraying set for September. Environment ministry officials say cordgrass can turn coastal mudflats into large patches or solid stands of dense grass, with severe habitat loss for shorebirds, waterfowl, shellfish and fish while increasing the risk of flooding due to sediment accumulation and altered drainage.

“In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it doesn’t mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process,” he said.

“It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.”

Government lawyers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision.

But Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legislation underpinning the Immediate Roadside Prohibitions.

“When you have a new program, you can expect that people are going to take

runs at it,” she said. “But fundamentally, the legislation remains very sound.”

Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully challenged.

Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago – replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers – and the government estimates 143 lives have been saved.

Anton said the regulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driving.

“People understand the immediate serious consequences that flow from that.”

Drivers who get an Immediate

Roadside Prohibition can lose their driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impounded and face hefty fines as well as costly installation of an ignition interlock device in their vehicle.

Documents recently disclosed under Freedom of Information show drivers who challenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren’t told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be inaccurate.

They’re merely told their driving prohibition was deemed invalid, without provision of specific reasons, usually weeks after the vehicle was impounded and the licence suspended.

The province pays towing and storage bills of appellants who are successful.

Golden age of music and radio, on stage Legendary broadcaster Red Robinson part of musical revue at Columbia Theatre Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

The Columbia Theatre is a local icon of a bygone era in entertainment which makes it a perfect place for the On The Air musical revue.

It’s all about the music and the radio shows of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. It features legendary Vancouver rock ‘n’ roll broadcaster Red Robinson and CBC Morning Edition host Rick Cluff introducing several acts, just like they did on radio shows in the days when theatres often acted as studios.

The revue has played a few times around the Lower Mainland before, but the recent renovations of the Columbia make it a natural fit to do it again, and that’s where it will be on Saturday, Sept. 7.

“It reminds me of the Cave and Isy’s supper clubs in Vancouver.

That’s going to add a lot to it,” says Robinson, who pointed out Jack Benny once did his radio

ConTRibuTed phoTo

Born into a musical family steeped in the tradition of New Orleans jazz, Arnt and Evan Arntzen play hot and sweet music for dancers and listeners alike. They’ll perform Sept.7 at The Columbia for On The Air.

show from Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre.

He got involved thanks to Julie Brown, a broadcaster Robinson used to work with who also sings with an Andrews Sisters-type quartet called The Hot Mammas.

Brown and Robinson’s wife Carol are good friends and they came

up with the idea of doing their music like it was a radio show from yesteryear involving several acts. They approached Robinson, who loved the concept and suggested he could team up with another announcer to introduce the acts so they brought in Cluff.

“We had a ball doing it. It’s

terrific,” says Robinson.

One thing he likes about the show is he doesn’t have to memorize anything since announcers in those days read from a script, and that’s exactly what he and Cluff get to do. In addition to The Hot Mammas, other performers include The

Brothers Arntzen, Jayleen Stonehouse, Aaron Wong and singer Michael Sicoly, who Robinson says does dead-on impressions of radio show comedians Groucho Marx and George Burns.

“It’s a fascinating show. The band is unbelievable. They’ll blow your socks off,” says Robinson.

“There’s no money to be made out of this. That’s not the point.

We have a ball doing it.”

The revue moves through the decades into the ’50s and ’60s when Robinson, now 76, ruled the musical airwaves in Vancouver.

It’s music that’s stood the test of times. The most popular songs at sports events are usually from that era, even though many other genres have emerged since.

Robinson notes the music is frequently featured in movies and commercials.

“When you look at that music it’s indelible. It was a creative period,” says Robinson. “I just think if you’ve lived in this time, it was great.”

Bosa Development’s Pacific Point includes gourmet kitchens with stainless-steel appliances and an undermount sink, above, as well as open layouts and huge windows that let the natural light pour in, top and bottom right.

Fine Yaletown living at Bosa’s Pacific Point

By Kerry Vital

In the Lower Mainland’s busy real estate market, luxury and sophistication is tops on the lists of many buyers. Bosa Development ticks both of those boxes with Pacific Point, its condominium project in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood.

“Response has been overwhelming for Pacific Point,” says Bosa Sales and Marketing

Manager Lisa Murrell. “There simply isn’t anything like it in Vancouver.”

Pacific Point was originally a rental building, but was purchased by Nat Bosa and converted into condos. Every suite has been completely redone, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing.

The building holds 214 homes, ranging from 450 to 1,680 square feet. Buyers will find amazing views of False Creek, George Wainborn Park, David Lam Park, English Bay and downtown Vancouver from every suite, along with high-end kitchens, elegant living areas and gorgeous bathrooms.

The kitchens feature a quartz-slab backsplash, polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by undercabinet task lighting, an undermount sink and imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers,

which also appears in the bathrooms.

Laminate wood flooring is included throughout most of the main living areas, with large porcelain tiles in the dens and chic carpeting in the bedrooms.

The modern bathrooms have their own porcelain tiles and polished quartz countertops, as well as a fantastic soaker tub and an enclosed glass shower in select ensuites.

In-suite laundry facilities come standard in every home, as well as custom roller blinds and solid wood entry doors that will easily block out the rest of the world. Homeowners have the choice of two interior colour schemes, Latte and Grey, designed by Cristina Oberti Interior Design.

Bosa has long been known for amazing homes and its customer service focus, and this certainly continues with Pacific Point.

Nat Bosa himself is a real estate legend in the Lower Mainland.

“Buyers know they are going to get quality and Nat Bosa’s value assurance backing the project,” Murrell says.

The Yaletown neighbourhood is known as one of the most vibrant in the city, and Pacific Point is perfectly situated to take advantage of everything that the area has to offer.

Restaurants and shopping are right on your doorstep, as well as transit, entertainment, leisure and recreation. If you’re in the mood for some outdoor activity, you’re just moments away from the SeaWall.

At Pacific Point itself, you’ll find a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness studio and yoga area, and a residents lounge with a pool table, as well as a grand double-height lobby and concierge.

Homes at Pacific Point are move-in ready and start at $344,900. For more information, visit www.pacificpointcondos.com, call 604-685-0855 or visit the sales centre at 1323 Homer Street, Vancouver any day except Fridays, from noon to 5 p.m.
