Police set up a containment area after witnesses reported seeing a man running from the scene. With the assistance of a canine unit police located a suspect, who was taken into custody and questioned. He has been released, and po-

Acorn murder trial continues

LASIK

Court hears of West’s involvement in ‘crime ring’

Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Jesse Blue West was making plans to buy a new truck and take a Mexican vacation following his $32,000 payment for participating in a “big score” with a criminal organization. What he didn’t know until after his arrest in March 2007 was that the criminal organization was fake – part of a “Mr. Big” sting operated by undercover police officers. The sting was conducted in late 2006 and early 2007 to determine what, if any, role West had played in the 2005 murder of 14-yearold Chelsey Acorn of Abbotsford. West’s trial for first-degree murder is currently underway in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack. The lead investigator in the sting, who cannot be named due to a publication ban, testified last week that West was

paid sums of $250 to $1,500 to perform small jobs for the “criminal organization.” These tasks included delivering bags of cash to designated people and agreeing to fake an alibi for a member of the crew who was in trouble with the law. West, 61, was also exposed to large amounts of cash – in one instance, he was told the sum was $300,000 – dur-

ing payments from supposed investors in the crime ring. The undercover officer said West was led to believe, over several weeks, that he was an integral part of the organization and had a lucrative future. “You are a loyal servant of the boss. You have exhibited honesty, loyalty and dependability,” the officer told West during one discussion. West was present

West eventually met with “Mr. Big” on March 10, 2007, the details of which have not yet been revealed in court.

in the fall of 2005. West and his son, Dustin Moir, were both charged with first-degree murder – based largely on evidence from the Mr. Big investigation. Both went on trial in November 2009, but West’s proceedings were severed from Moir’s two months later. Moir was convicted in February 2010 and received a life sentence with no parole eligibility for 25 years. During those proceedings, it was revealed that Acorn had been choked to death and buried naked in a shallow grave. Her head had been crushed by a large rock.

It had been the position of the authorities at Surrey Pretrial Centre that the calls were accidentally recorded due to a technical error and that the problem had been rectified. However, McEwan said it appears the phone system remains vulnerable to abuse, and this remains a “significant concern” if Bacon is returned to the centre. “In the deprived circumstances of even a lawfully managed remand centre, inmates must not suffer the insecurity of worrying that their privileged calls might be recorded,” McEwan stated. He ruled that Bacon must be provided with a phone system for calls to his lawyer that is “not vulnerable to breaches of solicitor-client privilege, intentional or accidental.” He also ordered that any recordings of the previously taped calls still in the possession of the Surrey Pretrial Centre be turned over, and that Bacon’s legal costs be covered.

Executors & Estate Settlement Seminar

Beef recall expanded Jeff NageL Black Press

More B.C. retailers have been added to an expanded and lengthy list of outlets affected by the recall of Alberta-processed beef that may be contaminated with e.coli bacteria. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency now lists virtually every major grocer in B.C. as well as various smaller ones as having received recalled raw beef that came from the XL Foods plant in Brooks, Alta. Affected products include steaks, roasts, ground beef, sausages and soup bones. For details on the recalled products, including identifying UPC codes and best-before dates, see: http://inspection.gc.ca/recalls_ XLFoods More than 1,500 products are now subject to the expanded recall, the

largest affecting beef in Canadian history. There have been no confirmed e.coli cases in B.C. linked to XL Foods, but there have been cases in Alberta. Consumers unsure if beef they have is affected are urged by

the CFIA to check with their local retailer or throw it out. E.coli-contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled but can cause serious illness – including seizures, strokes or kidney damage – as well as death in

severe cases. Symptoms include severe abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. CFIA officials shut down the XL Foods plant and say it won’t reopen until a range of corrective actions are taken.

If you have appointed an executor for your estate, or are named as an executor for someone else’s estate, you should attend this complimentary seminar.

Chilliwack man charged with sex assault A 19-year-old Chilliwack man is charged with sexually assaulting a young woman in downtown Chilliwack in the early morning hours last Saturday. Chilliwack RCMP got a call at 6:20 a.m. on Sept. 29 from the 19-year-old victim, who was at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital saying she had been physically and sexually assaulted in Chilliwack near Spadina Avenue and Yale Road.

Rattling the food chain The massive and unprecedented recall of beef that emerged from a Brooks, Alberta processing plant should cause people to pause and think about the food chain, and how demands for low consumer prices may have a long-term effect that goes far beyond this recall. The way that meat goes from farm to the table has changed dramatically in the past 50 years. There used to be many more slaughterhouses or killing plants than there are today. There were several in B.C., including what was once called Pacific Meats and later Intercontinental Packers, in South Vancouver. There were also many small slaughterhouses. B.C. farmers and ranchers produce a large supply of cattle for the meat market each year. But for the most part, they are now shipped off to huge feed lots on the Prairies for a final fattening up before being butchered. A few farmers and ranchers raise some cattle

to full size and sell meat to customers or specialty butcher shops directly. In virtually all cases, this meat is more expensive – but it comes with the assurance that the final consumer knows just where the meat originated and how it has been handled. Almost every large grocery retailer buys beef from a handful of huge plants, such as the Brooks facility. It has been estimated that up to 40 per cent of the beef sold in B.C. comes from that plant. That’s why the recall list is such a long one. Grocery chains today have to offer low prices to get customers in the door, and meat prices are among the most closely-watched. A push for low prices and efficiencies isn’t a bad thing, but it should never be at the expense of good health. Hopefully, out of all this will come a demand by meat eaters for better information about the food they eat. – Black Press

There’s a solution to this ‘crappy’ crisis Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand I have come to realize that it is perhaps a smart idea to start saving grocery bills. After all, I have a freezer full of (well at least six) steaks that are now the subject of a massive beef recall . . . and no record of when or where they were purchased. I also have no idea if the store from which I purchased them would refund the money, so I’m left with two choices: toss them into the garbage or eat them anyway. And since I’ve already eaten two with no apparent ill effects, I’m leaning towards the latter option. Then again, since I’ve been hacking and coughing through a nasty bout of pneumonia for the past 10 days perhaps any E. coli infection has been effectively masked. Additionally, since the recall affects all meat purchased between Aug. 28 and Sept. 27 from B.C.’s Costco outlets when I purchased

my most recent steaks, and a number of previous packages, I’m assuming my meat wasn’t tainted. And let’s be clear on this, the meat recall is for products sold at just about every supermarket in B.C. . . . so I’m certainly not singling out Costco. And why is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s recall so widespread? Because XL Foods’ slaughterhouse processes vast quantities of the beef sold across the country. To quantify “vast,” the Alberta plant kills 4,000 animals a day, a rate that would see every bull, cow and calf currently existing in B.C. slaughtered in just 131 days. The recall affects beef into the millions of pounds, yet surprisingly every ounce of it today, tomorrow and over the past few years could be E. coli-free if the industry adopted a made-in-B.C. vaccination program. Developed 10 years ago by a UBC microbiologist, the vaccine prevents cattle from spreading the disease. It is recognized and approved by provincial and federal governments, supported by millions of our tax dollars in research and production, yet its use is not re-

quired. And farmers and ranchers, many of whom operate on the thinnest of financial margins, are reluctant to add the $6 per cow vaccination cost to their bottom line. Yet E. coli infections across the country cost us some $250 million a year in medical expenditures and lost work. At six bucks a pop, that money alone would vaccinate better than 41 million

Beef could be E.coli-free if the cattle industry adopted a made-in-B.C. vaccination program animals a year, though across Canada there’s only about 12 million head of cattle. Perhaps the federal government needs to consider subsidizing the cost of vaccine to farmers and ranchers. The potential savings to the economy and our health care system indicate

that might be a smart move. Besides, ensuring our nation’s red meat supply is safe from contaminated cow poop would also make me feel a little more comfortable when tromping about the Cariboo cabin “yard” I spend time at most Octobers during the “gather” season. That’s when the cows come off summer range and return to the ranch, to be separated from their calves which will be eventually shipped to XL Foods or other major slaughterhouses. Since the ranch’s corrals are east of the cabin, and the pastures to the west, the 350 or so cows not only spend a few days walking back and forth in front of the cabin bawling for their lost babies, they excrete prodigious amounts of, I assume, E. coli-laced crap. Until a mandatory vaccination program takes effect, I think I’ll be a little more circumspect when taking off my boots, and ensuring the washbasin has lots of soap.

letters Water issue dried up Has anyone noticed that during this extended dry spell that there’s been no talk of running out of water by the city of Abbotsford? In fact, in today’s paper I read we have broken a dry-spell record! After the fearmongering that went on not so long ago regarding the possibility of running out of water, and the proposal of a new water source costing us millions of dollars, we’ve not heard one word about running out of water since the city started taxing us per use. Now that they are clearly making a profit off us, one might propose that the city would, in fact, like us to use more water! So much for conservation! Perhaps there never was a water crisis in the first place, hmmmm? Wendy Pronick

Murder suspected in woman’s death Homicide investigators were at a Mission home Friday morning after local Mounties found a deceased female in a mobile home in the 34000-block of Lougheed Highway Thursday afternoon. “This is in the very early stages of investigation but it appears the female has met with foul play and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken conduct,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound. Investigators worked overnight and into Friday to obtain any evidence. The Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS) as well as the coroner will be called to assist with this investigation. Pound said it is still too early to comment on the identity of the victim. There are no suspects at this point and investigators are asking anyone with information about this investigation to contact IHIT at 1-877-551-4448 or by email to ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Dorozan gets 20 months Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

An Abbotsford man has been sentenced to a 20-month jail term for committing a home break-in with his brother in the summer of 2011. Appearing in Surrey provincial court on Monday (Oct. 1), Dane Dorozan, 36, was also handed two years’ probation. He and his brother Darwin, 38, were arrested in August 2011 by the Surrey RCMP following a home break-in in South Surrey. Dane was sentenced on one count of break and enter. Darwin was originally charged with 21 counts of break and enter, one count of possession of stolen property, and one count of assault with a weapon. He pleaded guilty to 12 of those offences in May of this year and received an eight-year jail term. During Darwin’s sentencing hearing, it was revealed that he had committed the robberies to feed a $600-a-day heroin habit. He was caught because he left behind knapsacks containing robbery tools and identifying materials, including a methadone prescription in his name, as well as lists of names, addresses and phone numbers of his robbery victims. RCMP checks of his cellphone records indicated he had called his victims’ residences – most of them in South Surrey – on the dates of the

robberies to find out whether they were home. On Aug. 15, 2011, a police surveillance team watched Dane and Darwin remove electronics from a home in the 16400 block of 28 Avenue,

and arrested them. In January of this year, Dane was sentenced to 18 months’ probation and a $1,000 fine in Abbotsford provincial court for an unrelated drug possession charge.

Crews battle tough hog-fuel fire It took Abbotsford crews four and a half hours to extinguish a fire in a large pile of hog fuel on Thursday night. Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) was called to the blaze just before 10 p.m. at 140 Mt. Lehman Rd. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Rivett said that, when crews arrived, there was a deep-seated fire in a 10-metre-high pile of hog fuel in a farmer’s field. “This type of fire is extremely difficult to extinguish … Fortunately, there were no buildings in close proximity,” he said. The property is in a rural area with no fire hydrants, and this resulted in AFRS having to shuttle water from a hydrant near the Abbotsford Airport. Two AFRS engines and four water tenders/ tankers responded to the incident, with a total of 20 firefighters. There were no injuries. Rivett said the suspected cause of the blaze is spontaneous combustion of the wet hog fuel.

For love of the game

A17

Baertschi has tons of talent, and the joy he plays with sets him apart DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

Pondering what impresses him most about Sven Baertschi, Abbotsford Heat coach Troy Ward waxes eloquent about the rare joy with which the rookie phenom approaches the game. Then he casually compares Baertschi to an NHL legend. “It reminds me of a guy I had in Pittsburgh a long time ago,” said Ward, who was an assistant coach with the Penguins from 1997 to 2000. “(Jaromir) Jagr was the same way. He loved to compete, he loved to get out there every day. His personality wasn’t too high and it wasn’t too low. That’s what makes people special – their consistency. “This kid (Baertschi) smiles, this kid competes, he just enjoys the game a lot. That’s what stands out about Sven, and that’s probably why he plays so well most of the time.” Baertschi, upon hearing about Ward’s name-drop of Jagr, said it was “special” to be mentioned in the same breath with the future Hall of Famer. “I’ve always looked up to those type of guys, and he’s so fun to watch,” he said with a grin. “You should have fun (playing hockey) . . . You just play a sport and make money at that – and a lot more than other people do in their normal work day. You better enjoy it, or if you don’t, I don’t know where the problem is. “You go out there and play, and you’re on the ice, and not many people can say that.” That happy-go-lucky mentality has somewhat insulated Baertschi from the disappointment of the NHL lockout, which cost him a chance to crack the Calgary Flames’ roster this fall. The 19-year-old winger from Langenthal, Switzerland served notice last season he was ready for full-time NHL duty. He lit up the Western Hockey League to the tune of two points per game (33 goals and 61 assists in 47 games) with the Portland Winterhawks, and during an emergency recall to Calgary in March, he scored three goals in five games. Baertschi will sharpen his skills in Abbotsford for as long as the lockout persists, and while it’s not the NHL, he’s focused on making the most of the opportunity. “For sure, it was a little disappointing,” he said, reflecting on the lockout. “But there’s not much you can do. After they

Swiss rookie Sven Baertschi is regarded as one of the top offensive prospects in hockey. John Morrow photo said there’s not a chance there’s going to be an (NHL) training camp, I was really looking forward to coming here to Abbotsford and making sure we get the season started here. I’m happy to have a place to play here, so I can’t complain. “It’s great to have a job that you love. For me, it’s just a perfect world right now.” Baertschi put on 10 pounds of muscle in the off-season, which should serve him well as he embarks on his first full year of pro hockey. He said the weight gain wasn’t necessarily due to his weight-room routine, though. “I had some really good workouts and everything, but this summer was actually the first summer I’ve been able to gain some weight,” he said. “I did the same things the summers

before, but it’s just my body – it’s getting stronger now. “It was good to get some weight, but you’ve got to do the other stuff too. You’ve got to make sure you’re still quick.” Part of the adjustment from junior to pro hockey is simply learning to play against bigger players. The rugged play notwithstanding, Baertschi has still found room to display his elite shot and stick-handling during Heat training camp. “I’ve taken a couple hits during practices, but I’m used to it,” he said. “In the Western Hockey League, it’s still physical there too, but I didn’t have guys 220 pounds out there. I definitely have to get used to the game. “I’m still trying to improve every single day.” And he’ll have fun doing it.

KILL of the

+ BALANCING ACT

+ BLOCK PARTY

Penalty kill strategy is a tension between protecting the middle of the ice, while taking smart chances to repossess the puck and clear the zone. The degree of aggression with which teams approach the PK is often the most distinguishing feature. “We have guidelines to dictate when we’re going to turn that pressure on,” MacLean noted. “Any time you judge that the other team doesn’t have full control of the puck, they’re scrambling. The bottom line for us as a group is to recognize those compromising positions. When we see that, we want to go.”

+ THE BREAK-UP

When hockey people talk about a “good stick,” they’re not touting the merits of Sher-Wood vs. Easton. It’s about using your twig effectively to shut down passing lanes. “Players with really good intelligence have their stick not only on the ice, but active,” MacLean said. “You’ll see really elite players bait the opposition into using a passing lane when they know full well it’s there and they’ll move their stick at the last second.”

K ET C I T Y U TO B HT MIDNIG1 OCT. 1

The Heat seek to form regular pairs of forwards and defencemen for the PK. Complimentary skillsets are important. “Forward-wise, you’re concerned with the forecheck – how we accept the rush against us,” MacLean said. “Our game plan will require maybe one pure skater as a penalty killer, and the other forward might be more defensively responsible and maybe he’s got a different skating style.”

Erin Cebula, Spokesperson

Shot-blocking is a pivotal penalty-kill skill, and early in MacLean’s pro playing career (1997-2008), the sliding two-shinpad stack was the predominant technique. These days, the Heat coaching staff instruct players to “get big low” – dropping to one knee to block shots – to maintain better mobility. Beyond technique, shot-blocking also requires a ton of courage. “In the video room, you have to bring to light that players are willing or not willing to do that,” MacLean said, “and their peers will hold them accountable.”

+ THE BACKSTOP

It’s a classic hockey cliché that a team’s goalie needs to be its best penalty killer. While goalie coach Jordan Sigalet handles most matters pertaining to the position, the netminders attend PK meetings to stay in the loop on what the skaters in front of them are doing. “We talk about whether we want to take away the short side of the net vs. the far side based on goalies’ preference, and how we’re going to deal with rebounds,” MacLean said. “That gives them a greater chance to do their job.”

T BBO

The Heat have been a solid penalty-killing team over the past two seasons – they were 11th in the AHL in 2010-11 with an 83.2 per cent efficiency, and they were 10th last season at 83.5 per cent. Current head coach Troy Ward strongly influenced the Heat’s man-disadvantage philosophy as an assistant in 2010-11, before handing the PK reins to MacLean when he moved up to the top job. “The one thing about the penalty kill is, you need a lot of support,” MacLean said. “It’s a matter of a good plan in place, and then it’s a matter of special efforts from individuals.”

Pre-scouting each opposing team’s power play is a pivotal part of PK prep. “We don’t change a whole lot, but we may shift things around based on who’s going to be playing the half-wall for Peoria next Friday,” MacLean noted. “These are always the most skilled players in the league, so you want to make sure you know what you’re doing when they have the puck.”

words

prez Ryan walteR

It’s hockey season again! On the day our crazy-warm September weather turned a little colder, windier and brought in some black clouds, our Heat training camp started. We have enjoyed hosting training camp and are very excited about our home opening weekend on Oct. 12-13. This season will be very different from the previous one, schedule-wise. Last year we played the bulk of our home games during the month of March, but this year we will start the season playing 10 of our first 13 games at home. We host Peoria, the St. Louis Blues’ AHL affiliate, in our opening series and then Chicago Wolves, the Canucks’ affiliate, the very next weekend (Oct. 19-20). In the month of November we host the Toronto Marlies (Maple Leafs), the Hamilton Bulldogs (Montreal Canadiens), and the Oklahoma City Barons (Edmonton Oilers). Why am I highlighting these teams that you can watch early in the season? Because each of these teams will have their best young NHL stars playing for them as long as the NHL lockout continues. Oklahoma City now features top Oilers players Jordan Eberle and Burnaby native Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and you will see them right here in Abbotsford Nov. 9-10, with ticket prices starting at just $15. Our focus around these big games is to add more value to your experience every time that you walk into our building. For example, at the Wolves game on Oct. 19 you will be able to meet Cliff Ronning and Geoff Courtnall, two great Canucks alumni. Bring your photos for them to sign . . . remember how long Lanny McDonald signed auto-

After the game on Saturday, Oct. 20, for example, we will feature “Fighting for Ithaca.” And most importantly, our Heat team is going to be amazing again this season. Our core group of veteran players is back, and to win in the AHL, this is critical! Our team leader Quintin Laing is back. Last season’s top scorers Krys Kolanos and Ben Walter are back. Two players who played most of last season in the NHL, T.J. Brodie and Lance Bouma, are back playing for our Heat team

Pilots already in high gear DanKINVIG ABBOTSFORD NEWS

Over the years, a slow start by the Abbotsford Pilots has almost become a rite of fall. The local junior B hockey club, under head coach Jim Cowden, has traditionally come moseying out of the gates. The Pilots tend to use the first couple months of the season to round into form and find chemistry, before inevitably rocketing back to their usual place near the top of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League standings during the second half.

That’s why it’s somewhat surprising, even in light of the Pilots’ status as defending Western Canadian champions, to see them in first place in the Harold Brittain Conference in the early going. After dropping their opening game of the 201213 campaign to the Delta Ice Hawks, Abbotsford has reeled off five straight wins. “Every year, we seem to start off 2-4 or 1-5,” Cowden noted with a wry chuckle. “But this year, we’ve gotten out of the gate on a little bit of a roll.”

A big part of the hot start, Cowden believes, was the decision to schedule just two preseason games, down from eight last year. “I just thought everybody gets too complacent – the regular season rolls around, and it’s just another game,” he said. “We had two or three extra practices instead. “After our first game, when we lost to Delta 3-1, I thought maybe I’d made a mistake and should have played a couple more. But as it turned out, it sort

of went according to plan.” The Pilots have gotten outstanding play from goalie Aaron Oakley, and they boast an experienced forward corps, but it’s the youthful blueline brigade that’s been most pleasing to Cowden. Despite missing key contributors Brett Kolins and Austin Edwards to injury, the callow crew has performed beyond expectation. “They’re the ones who are really stepping up,” Cowden said. “They’ve been a pleasant surprise.”

FIREPREVENTIONWEEK

OCTOBER 7TH - 13TH, 2012

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service Urges Residents to “Have Two Ways Out!” October 7, 2012 – If you woke up to a fire in your home, how much time do you think you would have to get to safety? According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one-third of households who made an estimate thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fire in their home would become life threatening. Unfortunately, the time available is often much less. That’s why the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) during Fire Prevention Week, October 7-13, 2012, is urging residents to “Have Two Ways Out!” This year’s theme

focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice. “Fire is unpredictable” said Fire Chief Don Beer. “It grows and moves much faster than most people realize. Having a tried and true escape plan with two ways is essential to ensuring your family’s safety should fire break out in your home.” The AFRS recommends the following tips for planning your family’s escape: Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room. Choose a meeting place outside in front of

your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan. Write the emergency telephone number (911) for the fire department on your escape plan. Have a grown-up sound the smoke alarm and practice your escape plan with everyone living in your home. Keep your escape plan on the refrigerator and remind grown-ups to have everyone in your household practice the plan at least twice a year. The AFRS will be hosting activities during Fire Prevention Week

to promote “Have Two Ways Out!” Through these educational, family-oriented activities, residents can learn more about the importance of fire escape planning and practice, as well as the power of prevention. During the eight open houses planned in Abbotsford on Wednesday, October 10, activities will vary from fire hall to fire hall. Among the plans are hall tours, interactive demonstrations, truck displays, firefighter skills demonstrations and fun activities for kids. Through these educational, family-oriented activities, residents can learn more

about the importance of fire escape planning and practice, as well as the power of prevention. There will also be stickers, brochures, magnets, and other handouts available. Fire halls will be open to the public from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. To find out more about Fire Prevention Week programs and activities in Abbotsford, please contact the AFRS at 604853-3566 or visit our website at www.abbotsford. ca/fire. To learn more about “Have Two Ways Out!” visit NFPA’s Web site at www.firepreventionweek.org.

FIREPREVENTIONWEEK 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.

In case of fire - GET OUT AND STAY OUT – never go back into a burning building • Crawl low near the floor to the nearest exit maintaining contact with the wall. • Test the door by feeling it with the back of your hand. If it is hot, do not open. Use an alternative route. • If the door and knob are cool, stay low with your shoulder against the door while opening slowly. Be ready to close the door if smoke and heat rush in. • If trapped, put as many

closed doors as possible between you and the fire, and seal all cracks in doors and windows with towels or bedding. • If your clothing catches fire, stop where you are, drop gently to the ground and cover your face with your hands while rolling back-and-forth to put out the flames. • Cool minor burns with cold water.

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.

OCTOBER 7TH - 13TH, 2012

Kids get ‘rabbit ready’ for fire emergencies The Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) along with fire departments and primary and pre-school teachers across the country, have introduced a new tool to help kids and families be better prepared in case of

fire: cute and fuzzy bunny rabbits. “Have Two Ways Out” is this year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week, which runs October 7 – 13. The theme builds on rabbits’ instinct to always have at least two exits from their

underground homes leading to safety. Families who create and practice an escape plan together, with two ways out of every room if possible, have a better chance of escaping during a real fire emergency.

“When a smoke alarm sounds, everyone needs to know what to do and where to go. Planning two ways out of each room, ahead of time, greatly increases your chances of getting out without injury.”

Among the “Have Two Ways Out” activities will be a week of home fire escape lessons taught to young children by primary school teachers, followed by home-work assignments encouraging families to prepare and

practice an escape plan. The effort extends through the entire month of October featuring a special web site www.safeathome.ca/twowaysout where families can print out a free home escape plan template.

Home opener Friday vs. Peoria

Dan KINVIG Abbbotsford News

The Abbotsford Heat’s first round of roster cuts wasn’t as deep or dramatic as originally anticipated. Head coach Troy Ward’s initial preference was to settle on a core group of 23 players (13 forwards, eight defencemen, two goalies) by Saturday. Ultimately, the NHL parent Calgary Flames opted for a more deliberate pruning process – the 45-man roster was trimmed to 31, thus granting a longer audition to prospects on the bubble. Further cuts are expected later this week, as the Heat prepare for Friday’s regular season opener against the Peoria Rivermen (7 p.m., Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre). Analyzing the first wave of cuts, it’s clear that general manager Jay Feaster’s rhetoric about player advancement in the organization being merit-based – as opposed to being influenced by draft pedigree or contract status – isn’t merely lip service. Among the 14 players demoted were five who have twoway contracts with the Flames: forwards Ryan Howse, Gaelan Patterson, Mitch Wahl and Bryan Cameron, and defenceman James Martin. Those players, along with blueliner Nick Tuzzolino, who has an AHL contract with the Heat, were assigned to the team’s

ECHL affiliate, the Utah Grizzlies. Meanwhile, six players who came into camp on tryout contracts are still around – forwards Kael Mouillierat, Brett Olson and Tyler Ruegsegger, and defencemen Steve McCarthy, Drew MacKenzie and Dennis Urban. “It is a merit-based company,” Ward acknowledged. “Through Jay and John (assistant GM Weisbrod), that’s the way it’s been run since they arrived here together. I don’t see it any different.” The Heat announced that McCarthy, a veteran of 302 NHL games with the Chicago Blackhawks, Vancouver Canucks and Atlanta Thrashers, will begin the season with the club. He spent last season with Zurich of the Swiss league. Ward likes McCarthy’s straightforward style on the ice, and has been impressed with the 31-year-old’s leadership abilities. Eight other players were released from their tryout agreements Saturday: forwards Garry Nunn and Jordan Kremyr, defencemen Mark Isherwood, Dave Cowan, Jamie Fritsch and Peter Merth, and goalies Alex Evin and Grant Rollheiser. Abbotsford native Isherwood will head to Utah, where he has an ECHL contract in place with the Grizzlies. Visit abbynews.com for more Heat coverage

Hurricanes beat battered Bateman, Hawks upset by STM

Dan KINVIG

Abbotsford News

In the preseason, Rick Hansen Hurricanes coach Paul Gill felt that his team, unmentioned in the provincial AA

rankings, was rather underrated. After Friday’s 27-16 victory over the Robert Bateman Timberwolves, they won’t be flying under the radar anymore.

“I think we’ve opened up some eyes,” Gill said afterward. “They’re the No. 4-ranked team in the province. Our kids have been working hard, and it’s a big win.”

Alex and Brandon Ho, the Hurricanes’ Grade 11 twin brothers, led the charge. Brandon, from his linebacking spot, scored a touchdown on an interception re-

turn. QB Alex threw a 50-yard TD pass to Zach Toews and rushed for a major. Running back Reagan Doucette rounded out the Hansen scoring with

a rushing TD. The T-Wolves were decimated by the injury bug. Their top three running backs – Ben Cummings, John Beckerleg and Cole Brien – were knocked out of the game by halftime. “They’re a huge part of our offence, and our defence,” Bateman head coach Alfred Brathwaite noted. “But the kids still managed to reach deep into themselves and play with heart. Kudos to them.” Beckerleg, prior to re-aggravating a knee injury, had a 37-yard TD run. Kole Lochbaum booted a field goal, and Tanner Friesen scored on an interception return. STM 32, MOUAT 28 Turnovers were the AAA No. 2-ranked Hawks’ kryptonite on Friday evening, as they suffered a stunning loss to the No. 4 Knights. Mouat coughed up the ball six times – four fumbles, two interceptions – and STM rallied from a 10-point deficit in the last three minutes. “The lesson learned is, don’t take any-

body for granted, especially a team like St. Thomas More,” Hawks coach Denis Kelly analyzed. “You have to go out and prove yourself every week.” QB Mario Narte rushed for two scores for Mouat, while star tailback Maleek Irons was limited by the Knights to just 75 rush yards and one TD. Crysthian Rivas scored on a 20-yard INT return. LANGLEY 20, ABBY SENIOR 18 The Saints edged the Panthers in an absolutely wild tripleovertime contest. The teams traded TDs on three OT possessions – Abby’s Mansa Mandagi and Carter Williams rushed for majors, and Williams threw a scoring pass to Bryce Wiebe. A successful twopoint convert on the third OT possession was the difference for the Saints. “That was a tough one,” Panthers coach Jay Fujimura said. “We went back and forth the whole game.” For more coverage, visit abbynews.com

Diets - Fad, Gimmick or Real? 10 QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE STARTING A PROGRAM Many weight loss programs promise rapid weight loss. But most often they result in the weight being regained just as quickly. Use the checklist below to help you decide if a weight loss program is safe: 1- Does the program recommend that you talk with your doctor before starting? 2- Has a registered dietitian helped to design the program or is one made available to you? 3- Does the program use the Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Circumference to help you set a healthy and realistic weight loss goal? 4- Is the recommended weight loss 1-2 pounds per week? 5- Is the program based on Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide? 6- Does the program provide at least 1200 calories a day for women and 1500 calories a day for men? 7- Does the program allow for personal eating styles as well as individual nutrition needs?

8- Does the program encourage regular, enjoyable physical activity suited to your lifestyle and physical condition?

6- If the plan provides for fewer calories than this, it will be difficult to get your required nutrients.

9- Does the program rely on foods you normally eat and prepare at home instead of special products, foods, or supplements?

7- A good weight loss program will take into account your nutrient needs, lifestyle, and food preferences.

10- Is the program free of unrealistic claims or high-pressure sales tactics part of the program?

8- Physical activity is an important part of any weight loss program. You’ll burn calories, get fit, and feel great.

You should be able to answer YES to all ten questions, and here’s why: 1- Discussing any medical conditions or special needs with your doctor will help reduce risk to your health. 2- Registered dietitians are specially trained to design sound plans to help you lose weight and stay healthy. 3- Goal weights should be realistic. 4- A gradual weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week is safe and achievable. 5- The best way to get the nutrients you need is to eat a balanced variety of foods every day.

9- A permanent change in your eating pattern and activity level is what’s going to keep lost weight off, not a reliance on special foods or supplements. 10- If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. A balanced healthy diet, combined with regular physical activity, is a sure-fire prescription for achieving a healthy weight and feeling great. So if your diet program fits the bill, you’re well on your way! For more information visit www.dietitians.ca ■

SLEEP DEPRIVATION CAN HAVE COSTLY OUTCOMES

RESOURCES National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH): The mission of NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. >>nimh.nih.gov

20% of Canadian adults reported to have dozed off while driving. 100,000 crashes, 40,000 injuries and 1,500 fatalities happen each year in the US as a result of fatigued and drowsy drivers.

National Sleep Foundation: The NSF is dedicated to helping the public better understand the importance of sleep and recognizing the signs of sleep problems so that they can be properly diagnosed and treated. >>sleepfoundation.org ■

5 Steps to Better Sleep CONSEQUENCES OF BEING SLEEP DEPRIVED:

5 STEPS TO BETTER SLEEP:

• Memory loss, forgetfulness and impaired judgment.

1- Accept the fact that sleep is a vital part of a healthy lifestyle not to be taken for granted.

• Weight gain or obesity from increased appetite and cravings for unhealthy foods. • Weakened immune system becoming susceptible to the effects of viruses. • Major health issues such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and diabetes. • Depression, anxiety and a lowered sex drive.

2- Pay attention to your sleep patterns and make changes as needed. For starters, wake up and go to bed at the same time each day to help set the sleep cycle for successive days. 3- Gradually move to an earlier bed-time. Reduce your bedtime by 15 minutes each night until you are able to sleep for 7 to 8 hours.

4- Make your bedroom ‘sleep welcoming.’ You should associate your bedroom only with sleep and sex — don’t read, watch TV, have an argument or plan your next day’s agenda in your bedroom. 5- Reduce the use of stimulants. Minimize caffeine intake after lunch; no alcohol within four hours of going to bed; and cut out tobacco as nicotine withdrawal symptoms can wake you up.

Interested in becoming a workshop leader? Please inquire about our Abbotsford Leader Training starting October 23.

Students are more likely to succeed if they are healthy and active. Here are some tips for parents to encourage healthy eating and an active lifestyle for their children: • Encourage your children to eat breakfast every day, as it provides fuel for the brain to learn and helps them maintain a healthy weight. • Keep nutritious foods, like cut-up vegetables and fruit, cheese sticks, yogurt and butter-free popcorn on hand to make healthy snacking easy. • Encourage your children to choose milk or water at meals instead of sugary drinks or energy drinks. • Get children active through sports, or go for nightly family walks or bike rides. • Develop good hand-washing habits, as frequentt hand-washing reduces the spread of cold and flu viruses.

ARE YOU AT RISK? Hearing loss isn’t a harmless condition to be ignored. In fact, hearing loss often coexists with other serious health problems. And a growing body of research indicates that there may be a link. Studies show that people with heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and depression may all have an increased risk of hearing loss. When left untreated, hearing loss alone can lead to a wide range of physical and emotional conditions. Impaired memory and the impaired ability to learn new tasks, reduced alertness, increased risk to personal safety, irritability, negativism, anger, fatigue, tension and stress are among its more common side effects. But when untreated hearing loss coexists with a chronic illness, the likelihood is all the greater that the individual will experience exacerbated levels of stress and diminished quality of life. Here’s the good news: Research also indicates that professionally fitted hearing aids can help improve quality of life for people with chronic diseases when hearing loss does coexist. “In the vast majority of cases, hearing loss can be addressed with hearing aids to help people hear better and improve their quality of life,” says Dr. Sergei Kochkin, executive director of the Better Hearing Institute (BHI). “I strongly urge anyone with heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, and/or depression to talk with their doctor and make hearing screenings a routine part of their medical care.” BHI encourages people to take a free, quick, and confidential online hearing test at www.hearingcheck.org to determine if they need a comprehensive hearing check by a hearing professional. In the event that further testing is needed, contact Robertson Hearing Center. Robertson Hearing has been helping the community of Abbotsford with their hearing health needs for 23 years. This local business offers a full range of audiometric services, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and procedures. While the hearing industry has become saturated with retail sales tactics, Robertson Hearing is committed to a professional service with your hearing health needs as their primary concern. “Any office can sell you a hearing aid, but selecting instruments that best suit your needs and the customer service afterwards is most important” says owner Larry Nickel. Larry invites you to make an appointment for a comprehensive hearing assessment and consultation.

Age 6 – Age 12: Think about fissure sealants on your child’s teeth. Even if your child brushes and flosses carefully, it is sometimes impossible to clean the tiny crevices on certain teeth. Sealants “seal out” food and plaque and reduce the risk of decay. Sports and teeth - when your child is actively involved in high impact sports like hockey and basketball, it is important to think about mouth protection. A mouth guard can absorb forces on impact which will help prevent injury. Accidents happen - if your child is involved in an accident and you think their permanent tooth is injured, contact your dentist immediately. Depending on the type of injury, the survival of an injured tooth can be extremely time sensitive.

“HEAR ONE SIDE AND YOU WILL BE IN THE DARK. HEAR BOTH AND ALL WILL BE CLEAR.” - LORD CHESTERFIELD

HEARING:

RESOURCES

The most common causes of hearing loss are age and exposure to noise over a long period of time. People who have hearing loss are sometimes not aware of it, especially when the loss has developed gradually.

BC Family Hearing Resource Society: The BC Family Hearing Resource Society is the largest agency in the province serving the families of children from birth to age five who are deaf or hard of hearing and/or who have speech and language learning challenges. >>bcfamilyhearing.com

Hearing Self-Test Hearing loss, also known as hearing impairment, is a sudden or gradual decrease in the ability to hear. Although hearing loss is especially common in older adults, it affects people of all ages, can range from mild to severe, and can be reversible, temporary, or permanent. Answer the following questions to check for hearing loss and determine whether you need to have your hearing checked.  YES  NO Do you have a problem hearing over the telephone?  YES  NO Do you have trouble following the conversation when two or more people are talking at the same time?  YES  NO Do people complain that you turn the TV or radio volume up too high?  YES  NO Do you have to strain to understand conversation?  YES  NO Do you have trouble hearing in a noisy background?  YES  NO Do you find yourself asking people to repeat themselves?  YES  NO Do many people you talk to seem to mumble or not speak clearly?  YES  NO Do you misunderstand what others are saying and respond in a way that may embarrass you?  YES  NO Do you have trouble understanding women and children?  YES  NO Do people get annoyed because you misunderstand what they say?

Canadian Deafblind Association: Is committed to assisting all individuals in BC who are deafblind to achieve, with intervention, the best quality of life >>cdbrabc.ca ■

If you have 0 to 2 “Yes” answers, your hearing probably is good. Take the test again in a few months, especially if you are routinely exposed to loud noises. If you have 3 or more “Yes” answers, you may have some hearing loss and may want to see a health professional for a hearing evaluation. [Adapted from the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communicative Disorders]

Hearing loss is sometimes reversible. If it is not, hearing aids and other devices can help the person adapt to reduced hearing and help make communication, social interaction, and work and leisure activities easier and more enjoyable.

Healthy Eating on a Budget “Make sure you eat a well-balanced diet by getting all four food groups”.You’ve heard it all before but eating a healthy diet on a budget can seem impossible. Here are some tips on getting the most nutrient dense food for your dollar. Make a list and stick to it: Knowing what you need will keep your bill low and cut down on impulse buys. Choose nutrients vs. calories: Sodas, vitamin drinks and juice provide excess sugar and calories and leave you hungry. Instead choose fresh fruit to get your antioxidant boost (and fibers) and hydrate with water (it’s free). Cut back on convenience foods: These foods can save you time in the long run but often come with a larger price tag and extra fat, calories, sugar and sodium that you don’t need. Instead buy food in its whole form and do the prep

and cooking yourself. Check out www.heartandstroke.com for easy to make recipes. Buy big/bulk: Larger packages and bulk foods can get you more food for dollar. Look for the largest size that can be finished before spoiling. Buy bulk grains and beans and store in your own containers at home. Don’t forget to look at the unit price. Make the freezer your friend: When buying large amounts of food or cooking large batches, freeze the extras. For example block cheese, fresh fruit, casseroles and breads last for months when frozen. Go meatless: Legumes, lentils, beans and tofu provide a lower price alternative protein choice which is high fiber. Check out www.pulsecanada.com for tips and recipes.

Canada’s Food Guide: Developed by nutritional experts and supported by years of research, Canada’s Food Guide is your trusted source for healthy eating information. Get your copy of the guide at: >>hc-sc.gc.ca Learn about food group bargains: Fruits and vegetables: root veggies such as carrots and turnips, frozen/canned vegetables and raisins, just past their peak produce Grains: bulk whole grains such as oats, barley and rice, day old bread/buns Dairy and alternatives: skim milk powder, plain yogurt with your own fresh/frozen fruit Meat and alternatives: eggs, legumes, canned fish, peanut butter, peanuts Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a lot, you just have to shop and cook a bit differently.
