oney can seem complicated to young people. After all, many kids’ first exposure to the adult financial world is parents muttering about bills, of toys being too expensive and of the rising costs of everything. A paper route is just not the money maker it used to be, it appears. But what if instead of muttering, parents had frank and honest conversations with their children about how money should be managed? “Knowledge is power—the more knowledge you have the better you can be. We can learn from each other,” said Rabinder Dhillon, a mortgage expert at Dominion Lending Centres CME Arrowsmith.

High credit rating good to build young Quoting Albert Einstein, Dhillon reminds her students that “compounding is mankind’s greatest invention because it allows for the reliable, systematic accumulation of wealth.” But in order to be able to save money, you have to make sure not to let it be siphoned away by an item that’s become a necessity in today’s world— credit cards. In fact, the Neilson Report says that there are 576.4 million credit cards in circulation today, compared to zero in 1957. Dhillon’s advice is to start young. “Get a credit card as early in life as you can and ask for the highest available credit limit,” she said.
“This helps establish stronger cost of credit cards becomes credit faster.” apparent.

Things like household budgets, paying bills, the difference between credit cards (interest and perks on different credit cards), banking service charges, higher interest rates on savings accounts and diversification their investments,” Dhillon urges. “ “I firmly believe knowledge is meant to be shared.

SPOTTING The Centennial Belles are hoping a record number of Jane Austen admirers will put Port Alberni in the Guinness Book of Records this summer. by SUSAN QUINN / Alberni Valley News

ritish author Jane Austen died in 1817, but her popular books of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, remain as popular now as they were controversial back in the 1800s. It is Austen’s popularity—and the Western world’s fascination with this faction of society, witness the popularity of the television show Downton Abbey—that has prompted Port Alberni’s Centennial Belles to plan a Jane Austen Festival and parade for July 8–9 in Port Alberni. “She was quite amazing,” says Tricia Knight, who is spearheading the Jane Austen Festival. “She was a gutsy lady. Nobody was writing books when she wrote: it just wasn’t done. Women didn’t write. “She didn’t see all her books published—she died before that happened.” The festival “celebrates a woman who put herself on the map,” says Knight. “She stepped out of what she was (upper class) and looked outside of it. She wrote way
beyond her time.” Novels such as Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Emma all provide social commentary that remains relevant in today’s society. They have been recreated into Hollywood blockbuster films, and even reworked into the zombie craze (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is in book form and will hit the silver screen in February). The phenomenon is far-reaching: Jane Austen fans—who call themselves ‘Janeites’—hold festivals from Mansfield Park in Montreal to Canberra in Australia. A group from Bath, England, still holds the record of the most people (409) dressed in Regency period costume in one place, Knight said.
“(Jane Austen) was quite amazing. She was a gutsy lady.”

‘Janeites’ coming from all over She and the Centennial Belles want to beat that record, which was set in 2009, and they are asking people in the Alberni Valley and beyond to help. “We are challenging the Guinness Book of World Records,” Knight said. “I know Bath, England had their festival last year and they went over 500 (people),” she said. A parade through the Rotary Arts District is planned for July 9. The Belles have garnered support from various places and groups: there is a Jane Austen chapter in Victoria whose members are going to come to Port Alberni for the festival. In the Alberni Valley, Knight said there are pockets of people and groups interested in creating their own costumes and supporting the festival. It is important now to make sure the correct period clothing is made, so no

one is disqualified, she said. The Centennial Belles are holding a number of free workshops between now and June, to help people learn to make their own costumes.
They can be as simple as buying a thrift store empirewaist dress and adding a hat or lacy blouse underneath, says Knight. To keep up enthusiasm for the festival, the Belles have been popping up at public events such as the PEAK FM Polar Bear Swim on Jan. 1. They encourage people to do some “Jane-spotting”, and come and say hello whenever they see the Belles out at events. More information on the festival as well as a workshop schedule and ideas for costumes can be found online at www.centennialbelles.ca or on their Facebook page, Jane Austen Festival of Port Alberni. ElderCollege is also doing a panel discussion on Jane Austen on April 19 at North Island College. Registration is $10 for ElderCollege registrants.

Carver leaves living gems on local trails by KRISTI DOBSON
Quirky wooden mushrooms have been popping up in trails and forested areas around the Island lately, and they’ve all been carved by a Port Alberni hobbyist. The latest was completed at the end of November at the entrance to Maquinna Trail. Tim Anderson, a tree climber by day, travels extensively up and down the Island for work. He started noticing stumps at trailheads and along the highways and decided to add an artistic flair for passersby. After his first carving, he was continually looking for opportunities to transform stumps into large fungi and enhance public spaces. “I carved one at Robert’s Lake, a couple in Port Alice and one along the highway to Tofino,” Anderson said. He started receiving positive feedback from people admiring his work. When he came across a down tree at the trailhead
likes them too.” Anderson has only been on the road for work for about four or five years, but started carving six years ago as a hobby. So far he has completed a fence in his own yard of cedar posts with flared butts. He stained them and added a gate. He also has some pieces at Blue Fish Gallery. So far all of Anderson’s trail Tim Anderson shows the mushroom he carved at works have been mushrooms, the head of Maquinna Trail in November. but he said he might look to expand with different ideas. Although he just behind Maquinna Elementary does not consider himself on the same School, he brought over his chainsaw and level as the professional chainsaw carvers, began carving.

PAACL finds a new home
A
n expansion at the Port Alberni Association for Community Living means there will be more opportunities for people of all ages living with developmental disabilities. Last December the organization purchased the former Jericho Road Church on Dogwood Street. It will be an addition to the Second Avenue location. After the church moved to the former Mt. Klitsa School on Tebo Road, the building sat empty for a few years. It has been a work in progress to get the new location up to standards and enhance the working space, but staff will soon be ready to administer services and programs. “Our programs and staff have been expanding so we were looking for office space at first,” said Craig Summers, PAACL executive director.
“We came across this one Summers said. and it is suitable space-wise Also taking advantage of the for offices and also has a new space will be parent and basement to enhance our tot groups and the Supported programs for the entire Child Development Program. agency.” The building story and photos will hold regular The upper by Kristi Dobson infant massage floor will be used by outreach staff and groups and workshops for those responsible for semiparticipants and staff. independent Summers said living and he envisions self-help skills room for growth. programs. “(Participants) “There could Such community get to cook be programs can meetings with use the full partners down meals for basement for the road,” he said. themselves for He also said hands-on skills development need for five days week, the with the kitchen programs for cooking and so it teaches supporting menu planning. living with food security...” people “That is developmental extremely disabilities in Port popular because (participants) Alberni is high. get to cook meals for “We are a city known for themselves for five days good quality programs for a week, so it teaches food people with disabilities, so security and food education,” if there is a wait list Island-

Despite a few delays, Summers expects the building will be fully functional in January. Renovations began in the spring and have wrapped up with new flooring, windows, heat and ventilation system, plumbing, wiring and lighting. Grant funding helped ensure full wheelchair accessibility. An open house for the public, stakeholders and participants will take place in January and will be an opportunity to showcase its programs.

Know your score. We all change over time, and so do our credit scores. A credit score is the numerical value used by lenders to assess individuals’ “credit risk” at a given time. It changes based on history of payments, accounts owed, new credit applications and more. The higher your score, the better. Make sure you know your score – it’s important because it influences whether you’ll be approved for credit cards, mortgages and other loans, as well as the interest rates you’re offered.
Create a realistic budget. Reducing debt is like losing weight. You’re not going to lose 50 pounds in a month. You need to set realistic goals in reasonable time frames. Same with debt -and knowing where your money goes is an excellent starting point. In order to reduce your debt load you must create a realistic budget. Track your spending for a month to see where your money is really going, then create a monthly budget by adding up your income, estimating expenses and figuring out the difference.

Myriad ways to cut debt From / 11
Consider using online banking or mobile banking apps to create spending limits and alerts to help you stay on track with budgeting. Cut spending. Cutting back is usually a better place to start than completely cutting out. Be realistic. It will help you be more prepared for unexpected costs. Question your needs and wants, and evaluate your current financial situation by taking a look at the big picture. Consolidate debt. Is it the right time to consolidate your debt? Debt consolidation is a form of debt refinancing where you’re essentially taking out one loan to pay others – but at a lower rate of interest. Check out Visa’s Practical Money Skills’ consolidation calculator to see what your monthly payment would be with or without a consolidated
loan, and how many months it will take to become debt free. Talk to an advisor. If you discover that you’ve gotten off track or need help realigning your financial goals, consider working with a financial advisor. Talking to an advisor can help you create a plan, reduce interest costs and get out of debt over time. Bottom Line: Reducing debt is crucial for your wellbeing and for weathering the good and bad financial milestones in life. Re-evaluate your debt repayment plans and start 2016 off on the road to financial stability. Carla Hindman directs the Practical Money Skills program for Visa Canada.
