Statistics from the United States show that

at least one-half of all home fi re deaths occur

between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., the time when

most people are asleep. Canadian experts are

certain the same trend exists here. To em-

phasize the importance of being awakened

during an overnight fi re emergency, the Na-

tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is

placing increased focus on having a working

fi re alarm in every home bedroom with their

theme, “Hear the Beep Where you Sleep.”

“We know that smoke alarms double your

family’s chance of a safe escape. But to pro-

vide that critical early warning, they need to

be installed in all the required locations and

they need to be working,” said Carol Heller,

a home safety specialist with Kidde Canada,

the country’s leading smoke and carbon mon-

oxide alarm manufacturer.

Canada’s National Building Code calls for

the installation of hardwired smoke alarms in

all bedrooms for newly constructed homes.

But for existing and older homes, it’s largely

up to individuals to make the right safety

decisions. At a minimum, smoke or combination smoke/CO alarms

should be installed outside every sleeping area.

Across North America, from Oct. 4 to 10, fi re departments will be

reinforcing the basics of home fi re safety. There are several events

throughout the month from classroom educational programs for teach-

ers, primary school visits by fi refi ghters and a myriad other special

community events to educate and promote awareness for fi re safety.

“Fire Prevention Week is a great time to remind people that if you’ve

taken down a smoke alarm after burning the toast and forgotten to put it

back up, or removed batteries and left an alarm

unpowered, you are placing your family at se-

rious risk,” Heller stated. “This is not a trivial

issue. In almost two-thirds of fatal house fi res,

investigators fi nd that smoke alarms were ei-

ther not present or were missing batteries.”

Heller also advises people to update aging

smoke alarms regularly. She is quick to point

out that even if an alarm sounds when you

push its test button, that only means circuits

are working and power is getting to the unit.

It does not mean the alarm’s sensors are op-

erating at full sensitivity.

After being exposed to years of dust, cook-

ing grime, pet fur and other airborne contam-

inants, sensors can lose responsiveness, pos-

sibly slowing the alarm’s reaction time and

reducing escape time. That’s why the NFPA

recommends that if your smoke alarm is

more than 10 years old or you can’t remem-

bers its age, whether it’s hardwired or battery

powered, replace it immediately.

Where installing smoke alarms in bedrooms

may not be feasible, the latest generation

alarm technology can help provide peace of mind, according to Heller.

“Talking alarms that call out a warning in addition to beeping can

help wake sleeping family members,” she related. “As well, Kidde’s

newest Worry-Free alarms that have a 10-year battery you never need

to replace for the life of the alarm also simplify safety.”

New 10-year battery wireless alarms also interconnect, so when one

sounds they all sound.

Fire Prevention Week puts focus on putting smoke alarms in the bedrooms

Get to know when it’s time to replace your smoke alarm Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms have a

lifespan and eventually need to be replaced.

Follow the guidelines of the National Fire

Protection Association.

• Check the age of your smoke alarms.

• If they are older than 10 years or you can’t fi nd

a manufactured date, replace them immediately.

• CO alarms need to be replaced every 7-10

years depending on the manufacturer.

These replacement dates are true whether

alarms are battery powered, plug-in or hard-

wired. So the next time you’re in your favou-

rite hardware store, pick up another “decade

of defense” to give you for your family peace

of mind. – NC

HoroscopesOctober 5 - October 11, 2015The fi ner details in some situation may escape you. Don’t be tempted, out of frustration, to move on too quickly because something isn’t clear or you don’t seem to be able to get it right. It’s a matter of getting the balance right & you can start to work on this now – mid-Nov. Be realistic about future goals.

Focus on what you can create that’ll give you a sense of pleasure & enjoyment. This may very well involve others &, if you’re happy about it, well & good. If you have any doubts, waste no time on reviewing in your mind. There’s little point accepting things you don’t like.

Something can reach a turning point with someone else that’ll make you feel a lot happier. Even so, there’ll still be the need to weigh up the best way to get things established for the long term. Be mindful of obligations this’ll bring your way & whether they may interfere with responsibilities you already have.

Your sense of having to do things your way, particularly in situa-tions where somebody else expects to exert control, will be very strong. Much of this will depend on getting the structure right. Whatever has gone on since late Aug. will now result in aware-ness on how to alter your approach. It’ll lead to success.

Don’t do anything impulsive that’ll affect your fi nances, esp. if you’re encouraged to do so. Knowing details will be impor-tant in some way. If you don’t have all the information in any circumstances then fi nd it. You can create a secure situation for yourself that can be enjoyed, but it needs attention.

Venus moves back into your sign, where it will stay ‘til Nov. 9. It was here previously from mid – late-July. You’ll now have the chance to establish a balance with something that didn’t com-plete itself then. Don’t let someone else confuse you or encour-age you to act impulsively. Weigh things up carefully.

You can fi nally move forward on decisions that have been in fl ux since late Aug. Not everything can be done at once. First consider-ation is what needs to be brought to an end so the way is clear to be able to put down the right foundations. There’s much going on behind the scenes. Don’t get caught up worrying about this though.

You may be disappointed with someone you thought you could rely on by realising their way of doing things isn’t straightfor-ward. Keep your thoughts to yourself ‘til early Nov., though you’ll reach a turning point this week. Greater clarity will begin to take shape mentally about what you should do.

Don’t commit yourself to anything you have doubts about or something that doesn’t have a solid foundation. Responsibility is a big theme in your life now ‘til early Nov.; weigh up what may be reasonably managed. If you don’t do this you’ll fi nd things growing quickly to an unmanageable stage.

Someone else deciding they’ll do as they please can require you to take a strong stand where your own situation is concerned. It may make you realise that if you don’t focus on what you need to manage long term, they won’t be on your behalf. What you take on needs to be your decision, not what somebody else expects.

Secrets & mystery when it comes to others will be more likely than anything else, so don’t presume you know the situation. It may make you realise you need to change your view of impor-tant priorities in life. This is where you need to centre your mind ‘til early Nov. Be steady & patient – clarity will come.

The seeming confi dence or brash approach of somebody else may make you feel insecure. You will go through the process of having to balance things, based on obligations you’re prepared to accept now – mid-Nov. This doesn’t mean you’re meant to sacrifi ce yourself for the sake of the needs of others.

A missed offside call on the

Rockets’ fourth goal turned out

to be the winning tally as the

Kelowna Rockets defeated the

Kamloops Blazers 4-3 in in their

season opener in Kelowna last

Friday night.

The Rockets were the stronger

team out of the gate and scored on

their fi rst shot of the game. Dillon

Dube made a great pass to Tyson

Baillie as he buried the fi rst goal

53 seconds into the game.

The Blazers tied the game up

7:44 into the fi rst period. Garrett

Pilon took a quick shot on a turn-

over beating goaltender Jackson

Whistle high on the blocker side

to make it 1-1. For Pilon, it was

his fi rst career WHL goal.

The Rockets outshot the Blazers

11-5 in the fi rst period.

Tyson Baillie would give the

Rockets a 2-1 lead 1:15 into the

second period on an odd man

rush. He ripped a shot past goal-

tender Connor Ingram.

Jesse Zaharichuk tied it just

under a minute later on a 2-on-

1 rush. He held on to the puck

before roofi ng it over Whistle to

make it 2-2.

Tomas Soustal made it 3-2 with

2:45 to play on a rebound that

snuck through Ingram.

The backbreaker was a goal on

a breakaway by Justin Kirkland.

Kirkland was offside on the play,

but the goal stood up to make it

4-2 for the Rockets with only 35

seconds left in the second frame.

The Blazers continued to get

stronger as the game wore on

outshooting the Rockets 28-19

over the fi nal two periods.

Spencer Bast cut the Rockets

lead to 4-3 as he took a puck to

the net and jammed it in for his

fi rst career WHL goal.

The Blazers had pressure with

the goaltender pulled for the fi -

nal 1:45 of the game, but did not

score in a 4-3 loss to the Rockets.

Final shots on goal were 33-30

for the Blazers. The Blazers were

0-for-6 on the power play, while

the Rockets fi nished 0-for-3.

Jackson Whistle earned the win

with 30 saves, while Ingram took

the loss making 26 stops.

These two teams went at it again

in the Blazers’ home opener at

the Sandman Centre.

Garrett Pilon had a terrifi c home

debut with two goals and an as-

sist. Unfortunately, it was the

Rockets that had all the right

plays as they got two goals apiece

from Soustal and Baillie en route

to a 7-3 win over the Blazers.

The Rockets scored the game’s

fi rst goal as Dube had a gift on

a rebound to make it 1-0 for the

Rockets.

Cal Foote added to the lead as

Ingram attempted to clear a puck,

but Foote knocked the puck

down and blasted home his fi rst

goal of the season.

The Rockets outshot the Blazers

16-10 in the fi rst period and took

a 2-0 lead into the intermission.

The Blazers came right back in

the second period as Pilon cre-

ated a turnover behind the Rock-

ets net and gave the puck to Jake

Kryski who scored his fi rst goal

of the season.

Pilon tied the game up when Za-

harichuk took the puck to the net

and Pilon was there to clean up

to make it 2-2 only 2:46 into the

second period.

Embrace the earth’s natural rhythms and stock up on in-season

vegetables. It’s a win-win – seasonal produce is supplied in high

quantities, which lowers the market price and saves you money.

Zucchini, bell peppers, carrots and sweet potatoes are just some of

the delicious foods that are best in the fall. Slice them, dice them

and pair them with your favourite pasta dishes.

For something different, skip the meat and try this Veggie Penne

– it’s packed with fl avour.

Vegetable Penne

1 box Protein PLUS Penne

3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

2 cups butternut squash, small diced

1 leek cut in thin rounds

1/2 fennel bulb sliced thin

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

2 tbsp. toasted pistachios, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Season the butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and

pepper and roast in the oven at 425° for 15 minutes. Meanwhile,

sauté leeks in remaining oil until they turn golden. Add fennel and

grape tomatoes and cook over high heat for 3 minutes. Season

with salt and pepper, stir in roasted butternut squash. Cook pasta

according to the package instructions, but drain 2 minutes early,

reserving 1/2 cup of cooking water. Toss pasta for 2 minutes with

veggie sauce and cooking water. Remove from heat and top with

pistachios. – NC

Tips to avoid coughs, colds at school

With kids back to their regular routine of school and extracur-

ricular activities, families often struggle to keep everyone healthy

during the dreaded cough and cold season.

Here are a few tips to keep your kids germ-free:

• START OFF WITH GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP. Take cues from

physical signs of sleepiness (yawning, diffi culty focusing your

eyes, a lack of concentration), indicating that it’s time to go to bed.

• BE ACTIVE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. Make exercise a priority for both

you and your family’s physiological and psychological health. For

parents and children who stay active it’s common, to experience

some post exercise pain or even injury. When injuries or pain oc-

cur, try relieving muscle pain by applying a topical like Arnicare

Gel. The gel, which contains arnica montana and other medicinal

ingredients, temporarily relieves muscle pain and reduces swelling

and bruising.

• ADOPT HEALTHY EATING HABITS TO FEEL BETTER, NATURALLY. As

you get your children ready for school, make a fresh start with

healthy foods to nourish their brains and help them grow.

• THE FALL MEANS THE START OF THE COLD SEASON. Look for a homeo-

pathic medicine such as Coryzalia to relieve cold symptoms such as

nasal congestion, runny nose and acute rhinitis in children ages one

month and up and adults alike.

• NASAL AND SKIN IRRITATIONS OFTEN ACCOMPANY RUNNY NOSES AND

CONGESTION. Cicadermine is a homeopathic, antibiotic-free solu-

tion, to soothe skin and facilitate healing of irritations, such as

chapped skin, superfi cial wounds and redness from constant wip-

ing and blowing.

• WHEN STUBBORN COUGHS ARISE, MANY PARENTS THINK THEY ARE

OUT OF TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR THEIR YOUNGER CHILDREN. But

there is a solution available to relieve coughs in children under six.

Stodal is a homeopathic honey-based cough syrup used to effec-

tively relieve both dry and wet coughs in children from one to 11

years of age. Keep in mind, these homeopathic medicines may not

be right for everyone, always read and follow the label.

To help parents survive the cough and cold season, the experts at

Boiron have developed the “Homeopathic Medicine Finder” App,

which helps users quickly and effi ciently fi nd the most appropriate

homeopathic medicines to relieve symptoms from joint pain, insect

bites, stress, colds and fl u. You can fi nd the recommended solution,

its indication and dosage, coupons and store locations. The app is

available at www.boiron.ca/app. – NC

The Canadian winter climate can take its toll, but with the proper

fall maintenance you can set your lawn and garden down for a rest.

“After a busy summer of mowing and maintenance, your lawn and

garden will need some special care before the snow falls,” said Mi-

chelle Sordi, director of marketing for Husqvarna. “You can, how-

ever, jump start your spring chores for growing a healthier garden.”

To ensure your garden survives the winter and has the ultimate

spring awakening, take the following steps:

• Clean up the area: Be sure to remove any dead foliage, this will

prevent a diffi cult spring cleanup and overgrown weeds. Harvest ev-

erything above ground in the vegetable garden to avoid attracting

animals and pests.

• Protect your shrubs: To help keep your shrubs healthy, generously

water them before wrapping in burlap for the winter. When wrap-

ping, work your way from the bottom up to prevent the bending of

branches in an unnatural form.

• Fertilize before the frost: Your grass will start to slow its growth so

it is important to fertilize it with the appropriate nutrients to survive

the harsh months ahead. Also, the clippings from the fi nal mow-

ing should be left on the lawn as mulch to help protect the delicate

crowns of the grass plants and lock in nutrients.

• Take it indoors: Some plants fare better indoors during the winter

but before you make the switch, immerse the pots in lukewarm wa-

ter to help remove insects and prevent other unwanted critters from

transferring into your home. Also check the leaves of the plant and

give them a quick rinse as an added precaution.

• Store your tools properly: Last, but not least, remember to clean all

your gardening tools thoroughly before storing them indoors. Use

soap and water to remove residual dirt and dried-on materials from

tool surfaces. Be sure to drain the fuel from mowers as gasoline left

in fuel tanks will break down, leaving deposits and build-up that will

plug up the fuel system. –NC
