tips for dealing
ms and floods
Severe thunderstorms, torrential down-
pours and flash floods are becoming more
common in Ontario. That's why CAA Insur-
ance Company (Ontario) is reminding
homeowners that water damage caused by
sudden, heavy rains can be avoided.
lips for preparing your home:
•Extend downspouts so that rainwater
flows away fromyour home.
.Install flood shields on all basement
windows above ground level.
.Ensure the grading around your yard
slopes away from your home.
•In older homes, make sure you have a
properly installed backflowvalve to prevent
sewage backup in your home.
•Backflow valves are designed to auto-
matically close when they detect water try-
ing to enter your home from the sewer,
stopping potential water damage.
.Review your insurance policy. Know
what is and isn't covered.
During major storms and torrential
downpours, CAA South Central Ontario

NHL and hockey players that will be taking
part in the game.
Lobb said NHL players such as Joey His -
hon, centre for the Colorado Avalanche, and
Justin Peters, goaltender for the Carolina Hur-
ricanes have rec,ently signed onto play.
"We will announce more players every

orado Avalanche and Cal O'Reillywho cur-

.Do not drive through standing water.
Attempting to drive through flooded streets
may cause your engine to stall, your brakes
to fail and even result in severe damage if
you tryto restart the engine.
.Even if the water appears shallow
enough to drive through, don't try it
•Plan your route to avoid low-lying areas
if possible.
.If you don't have to drive, stay off the
roads.
•If you become stranded and your car
stalls, call CAA for help. If you feel your
safety is at risk, call 9-1-1 immediately. CAA
offers 24-hour roadside service, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year. Drivers can request
roadside assistance byphone or online.
Flood waters can potentially damage
your vehicle's electrical and exhaust sys-
tems, wheel bearings and brakes, as well as,
your airbags.
If you have driven through standing
water, have a professional inspect your
vehicle. CAA can help you find a reliable
repair facility.

Centre of Excellence in Rural Health, were
also in attendance.
Lobb said the other major sponsors such
as Telus, which sponsored $2,500, and
Westiet, who contributed two tickets to any-
where that WestJet flies, should also be
recognized.
"Our goals was to raise $50,000 andwe're
well on way," Lobb said. "We may even sur-
pass our goal, which will be great:'
Lobb said he has two more big sponsors
in the works and that he just needs to con-
firm things before making any kind of
announcement.
"If there are any other sponsors that
would like to put us over the top, we'll wel-
come them," Lobb said.

the three chosen organizations - Alexandra
