IN BRIEF Stage 3 official in Cumberland

Teen mental health: ■ Terry Farrell terry.farrell @comoxvalleyrecord.com

In an effort to raise awareness, Record editor Terry Farrell recently had an in-depth discussion with a couple of St. Joseph’s Hospital’s most respected authorities in the field of teen distress. Vicki Sheppard, clinical nurse leader for crisis and SANE (sexual assault nurse examiner) services, and David Hext, outreach counsellor for adolescent outpatient services, have made careers of helping teens with mental health issues. The following is the second of a two-part series.

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association (as published on the Canadian Children’s Rights Council website, www.canadian crc. com), suicide and suicidal thoughts among teens is more prevalent than ever before.

In a survey of 15,000 Grade 7 to 12 students in British Columbia, 34 per cent knew of someone who had attempted or died by suicide; 16 per cent had seriously considered suicide; 14 per cent had made a suicide plan; seven per cent had made an attempt and two per cent had required medical attention due to an attempt.

“I see a lot of suicidal teens – some of them have cut, some of them have taken overdoses, some of them have just said they are suicidal, and you really have to ask people what that’s

Dangerous times

all about, because I think a lot of people use suicidal ideations as a means of problem-solving,” said Sheppard. “People become overwhelmed with their problems and they have thoughts of ending their life.”

She said it’s a fact of life now that wasn’t present when she was growing up.

“It was a word I never knew until I was in my 20s.”

“It’s something that has become a part of our vocabulary, where it didn’t used to be,” agreed Hext.

“Suicidal ideation, thinking about it more elaborately, that’s the first stage of suicidality,” said Hext.

“Thinking about not only how to do it, but what happens after you die, what about the funeral service, how many people will be there.

“Then there’s suicidal gestures, which might mean taking seven pills for a headache; it might be drinking a bottle of whisky while driving your car; it might be snowboarding in out-of-bounds areas and taking wild chances – anything that is really reckless. Then there is suicide attempts, and then there is completion. So there is four steps.”

There are signs parents can look for that might suggest their children are having suicidal thoughts.

“One of the real danger signs is if your child is stockpiling (acetaminophen) pills,” said Hext.

“That’s scary because that is very dangerous.”

Another clear warning sign is the giving away of belongings.

“Here, have this – I don’t need it anymore – that’s a real red flag,” said Hext.

Good-bye notes in journals and sudden isolation from friends are other warning signs.

Sheppard said the most important way to address such thoughts is to do just that: address such thoughts. Talk about it.

“It’s talking to the teens about what they mean when they say that,” said Sheppard. “For a lot of teens, you hear ‘I don’t want to die. I just don’t want to feel what I am feeling.

“For a lot of people around them, the talk of suicide is kind of the end of the conversation; for me that’s the beginning. That’s when I ask what’s that all about? For a lot of people, it’s about problem solving.

They have problems that are overwhelming them. If you can help them with those problems, the (suicidal) thoughts go away.”

“Approach your child, one on one,” said Hext. “Ask him or her directly: We’ve seen this, we’ve seen that, and we are really worried. Let’s talk about it. They won’t always tell them the truth, but it’s a start.”

Cutting: A new phenomenon

There was a time when taking a razor blade to one’s arm meant only one thing: suicide attempt.

Not so, today.

“Cutting,” as it’s known these days, is not necessarily a suicidal act. It’s an act of self-injury, but not meant to be fatal.

“I’ve had mothers call me in a complete panic, saying ‘my daughter has started to cut. She’s killing herself,” said Sheppard. “But it may not be about that at all.”

The Power to Surprise

1025A COMOX RD., COURTENAY

As reported in the Tuesday Record, the Village of Cumberland and those properties connected to the Royston water system will move to Stage 3 water restrictions starting on July 20 due to lower than usual water levels in the Cumberland Creek and Perseverence Creek watersheds resulting from the lack of significant rainfall over the last few months.

The Stage 3 restrictions, along with a reduction in hours at the Cumberland children’s water spray park, are necessary to maintain a sufficient supply of community water through the summer and fall. The Village is looking at other methods to reduce the amount of water being used at the spray park, but a reduction in hours will also be necessary as the park is using up to 120m3 of water a day. The water from the spray park drains into the Cumberland wetlands and into the Trent River.

Stage 3 requires all homeowners to limit outdoor water use and to water your garden and trees only in the early mornings and evenings to reduce the amount of evaporation from the sun.

The following activities are prohibited during Stage 3 restrictions: watering lawns and washing driveways; filling a swimming pool or hot tub; washing a vehicle or a boat except at a commercial car wash using less than 57 litres of water. These water restrictions apply to all Cumberland residents and to Royston properties connected to the Royston water system.

Black Creek-Oyster Bay follow suit

Due to extremely low water levels caused by the record-breaking dry weather conditions this spring and summer, and the absence of any significant snowpack over the winter, the Comox Valley Regional District will move to Stage 3 water restrictions effective Monday, July 20 for the Black Creek – Oyster Bay water system.

The inflows to the Oyster River are extremely low right now, therefore, the CVRD will be switching to the ground water wells very shortly.

Stage 3 is the most extreme water restriction and essentially requires all homeowners to use water only when completely necessary.

During Stage 3 the following activities are prohibited: • Watering lawns (with manual or automatic sprinklers) or pressure washing driveways or boulevards at any time; • Filling or adding water to a hot tub or garden pond at any time; • Washing a vehicle or a boat at any time (other than in a commercial car wash or car dealership).

Watering trees, flowers and vegetables using a hand-held nozzle, watering container, micro-irrigation or drip-irrigation is permitted on any day from 4-9 a.m. and from 7-10 p.m.

These water restrictions apply to properties connected to the Black Creek – Oyster Bay water system.

Cumberland summer walking tour schedule set Cumberland Museum & Archives has announced its summer walking tour series featuring the popular Village Tour of downtown Cumberland, Old Townsites Tour at the sites of the old Chinese and Japanese settlements, and author Kim Bannerman’s Bucket of Blood tour based on her novel of the same name.

On Saturday, July 18 and Saturday, Aug. 15, Dawn Copeman will lead the Old Townsites tour

featuring Cumberland’s unique cultural histories. In April of 1942, Cumberland’s nearly 600 residents of Japanese descent were banished from the coast and sent to internment camps.

The decline of the Chinese community was more gradual as the coal mines shut down in the post-war era. The mostly abandoned Chinatown was finally razed in 1968 leaving only Jumbo’s cabin by the side of Comox Lake Road.

This tour tells the stories of the Chinese and Japanese settlements while walking through the majestic forests on the edge of town where they once stood.

Friday, July 24 and Friday, Aug. 14, Meaghan Cursons will lead the Village walking tour: a lively and engaging walk through town filled with facts, rumours, tragedies and tales from Cumberland’s colourful history. From the great fires and great strikes, to lavish garden

parties, wartime injustices and small pox isolation houses - the Village walking Tour puts the legend in “Legendary Cumberland.”

Bannerman’s 2011 gothic murder mystery Bucket of Blood reaches its exciting conclusion on Aug. 17, 1898 (the same day as the Trent River railway trestle disaster). On Monday, Aug. 17, 117 years later to the day, Bannerman will lead a walking tour that explores the alleys,

side streets and buildings featured in the novel, while delving into the history and folklore that inspired her writing. You don’t have to have read the book (or its sequel Mark of the Magpie) to enjoy the tour, but you’ll likely want to when it’s done.

Tickets are $15 with discounts for seniors, youth and museum members.

Complete details and tickets are available at www.cumberlandmuseum.ca.

Friends of Strathcona hosting five-day hike though Bedwell Valley one coming down the valley from Bedwell Lake and another coming up from the Pacific, launching at Tofino. The groups will meet halfway, exchanging car keys to allow everyone to get back home.

The Bedwell route goes through a variety of fascinating ecosystems, including alpine meadows, a rare high elevation maple forest, old growth cedar and fir groves, and past several magnificent waterfalls.

The river itself is never far away.

The Friends of Strathcona Park will be hosting a hike for the public through the beautiful Bedwell Valley this summer.

The hike, which will take five days and four nights, will follow a wild route through the valley which was discovered by the Friends several years ago.

The hike will take place from Aug. 1-5.

“This is one of only three valleys within the park that go from the alpine all the way out to the ocean,” says Kel Kelly, a director with the Friends.

The hike will require two groups,

Comox firefighters help contain Dog Mountain fire This photo shows the proximity of the fire to one of the homes the Comox Fire Department crew was called on to protect.

■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

As one of 12 structural protection specialists in the province, Gord Schreiner’s phone has been busy.

As the fire chief of the Comox Fire Department, Schreiner, along with six other firefighters from the department, recently returned from the Dog Mountain fire on Sproat Lake near Port Alberni.

“The biggest challenge (to fighting the fire) is not knowing when you’re coming back. Sometimes you get an hour to pack your bags, and you have to expect to be gone for up to 14 days,” he explained.

The Comox firefighters were tasked for about a week to lend their skills to fight the aggressive forest fire, in which they were able to protect and save many structures, some even with flames within feet of the building.

“There’s 21 structures on the penin-

sula, and the only access is by water.

We deployed our structural protection trailer which we developed 10 years ago. Between forestry, ourselves and the helicopters (dropping water), we all played an equal role in saving the structures and keeping the area wet.”

The fire - which is believed to be human caused - grew to more than 400 hectares, but is now 100 per cent contained.

Schreiner said his firefighters practise with the trailer between 10 and 20 times a year and credits their knowledge and skills to being one

RCMP briefs On the evening of July 7 the Comox Valley RCMP were called to a three-vehicle collision on Comox Rd. near Bayside Rd. in Comox.

The investigation revealed that two vehicles braked suddenly for a deer that came onto the roadway but a third vehicle failed to stop. The female driver of the third vehicle was found to have been consuming alcohol and failed a roadside screening device. The woman was issued an Immediate Roadside Prohibition for 90 days and had her vehicle towed and impounded for 30 days.

Bushed dirt bikes

On July 13 police were called to a property in the area of the 8100 block of Island Highway N to a report of found dirt bikes. The called stated that there were two dirt bikes stashed in the bush. The investigation revealed that the two dirt bikes had been stolen in the Camp-

of the main keys to knowing what to do when they arrived in the area.

“You’re literally put to work within minutes of hitting the ground,” he added, and noted the specialized protection trailer owned by the Town of Comox was one of the first on the Island.

“You never know what you’re getting into. It was a water-only access, with very steep terrain and a ton of stairs.”

Schreiner said the fire started on the top of the mountain, and came down on the cabin-side.

Fire generally doesn’t burn down-

hill, he added, but it worked its way down to the lake.

In total, the fire department used more than 5,000 feet of hose and about 60 sprinklers. The team had to keep everything wet - from decks to homes and even the wharfs where their pumps sat to prevent them from catching on fire.

Working 12-hour days, the seven-member crew returned Friday, and Schreiner said he has already received calls this past weekend for assistance in Prince George and Williams Lake.

He notes he expects

bell River area recently. Both bikes have been returned to their owner.

Airpark generator theft

Police received a report of a theft of a Honda generator from the Courtenay Airpark on July 5. The generator is valued at approximately $1,400.

Arrest made in string of B&Es

On July 5 the Comox Valley RCMP received a report of a break, enter and theft to a business located on the 2800 block of Cliffe Ave. in Courtenay.

The investigation revealed a suspect and Comox Valley RCMP obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s residence in Nanaimo.

On July 8 the search warrant was executed at a residence in the Nanaimo area and several items related to recent break and enters in the area were located. The owners of these items have been notified. A Nanaimo resident was arrested and is now facing charges of possession of stolen property and will be appearing in provincial court on a later date.

Do you suffer from headaches or earaches? Do you have a stiff neck and upper back? What about ongoing stomach issues, anxiety or depression?

Dissimilar as all these issues might sound, the root cause may be your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. Studies estimate that 30 per cent of the world’s population has some form of TMJ disorder. Known as “the hidden impostor” for the way it mimics other symptoms and syndromes, TMJ disorder is not only common, it’s also

IT’S BACK!

often misdiagnosed.

The TMJ is the hinge where the jawbone connects to the skull. The disorder occurs due to excess pressure in the joint. Factors that can cause TMJ issues include misalignment of the jaw or teeth; physical trauma, such as whiplash or dental work; degenerative diseases; or, most commonly, tension resulting in teeth clenching or grinding.

While actual joint pain may or may not occur, typically symptoms manifest elsewhere in the body and include migraines, earaches or tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hip and pelvic pain, and muscle soreness in the upper body. Because of these diverse symptoms, correct diagnosis is often overlooked while treatment doesn’t deal with the underlying problem.

As health practitioners who focus on a holistic approach, all our treatments begin with a thorough wholebody examination. Upon diagnosis of TMJ disorder, treatments typically include acupuncture and neuro-structural integration therapy (NST), a hands-on therapy that calms the autonomic nervous system and releases muscles of the neck, shoulders and jaw. Treatment of severe cases may also integrate the use of a soft dental appliance, and patients are given exercises to perform at home.

Most people feel relief after the first treatment. Think you may have TMJ disorder? Give us a call and get to the root of the problem.

Editorial

A lot has happened since Neil Armstrong’s stroll

S

unday marks the 46th anniversary of the first moonwalk.

Neil Armstrong’s words, “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind,” have been forever etched in history.

It’s the leaps since that step that are so awe-inspiring.

Here are a few we find of particular significance: Martin Cooper forever changed the way we communicate in 1973, with the invention of the cellular phone. According to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, an estimated 28.4 million Canadians are now wireless phone subscribers. That’s 80 per cent of Canadians, calling, texting and taking selfies.

Louise Joy Brown was born July 25, 1978 and was recognized in the medical journals as the first human to have been born after conception by in vitro fertilization, giving birth to the term ‘test tube baby’ and giving hope to many couples who otherwise would never experience the blessing of childbirth.

Alex Jeffries devised DNA fingerprinting in 1984, forever changing the concept of the legal term ‘beyond a shadow of a doubt’ - not only in regards to convictions, but also for exonerating those wrongly accused of crimes.

Advances in the medical world could be a category of its own, with robotic and laser surgeries, amazing transplant technology and the artificial heart, but to touch the surface.

The auto industry could also have its own chapter, with the invent of everything from electronic fuel injection to air bags, to the widespread use of GPS systems.

It wasn’t until 1972 that colour televisions out-sold the black-and-white models. Now we have 3DTV. Video games have come a long way since the days of Pong - the 1972 invention that gave birth to an entire industry. Thanks Atari.

And of course, there is the whole computer era. In 1969, a computer was something that took up an entire Bat-cave. Now most people in Canada carry one in their pockets or purses.

Obviously there isn’t enough room to list even the most important of inventions, and we are not inferring that any of the aforementioned advances would make such a list.

A famous quote was simply brought to our attention, which gave us pause for thought.

What’s on your list?

BORN AND RAISED

“So what, it’s not like it’s against the law,” was the reply of one indignant Lower Mainland woman who was caught on film by a commuter after she flicked her lit cigarette butt out her window during this lengthy drought and dangerously high fire hazard.

That type of response seems to be pretty typical of people across the Island and Lower Mainland this summer who are being careless with cigarettes, illegal camp fires and lawn watering despite a ban.

I don’t understand. Do all these people think they’re entitled to something? Entitled to littering? Greener grass? S’mores?

What makes their priorities more important than things like potential forest fires or a lack of drinking water?

In the Comox Valley, it’s not so

Does anyone else see how ridiculous that is?

The worst of it is that some of these waterers getting busted and fined have the audacity to get angry at neighbours for reporting them, saying things like the neighbours are just jealous of their green grass.

No, they’re just concerned about our water levels like we all should be, because if we run out, we know who to blame – the hundreds of Comox Valley residents still watering their lawns in one of the worst droughts in our history.

What does it take to convince people that looks aren’t everything?

Sure, that’s what TV and magazines have been hammering into us for decades, and we all love a great looking yard, but it’s time we all work together through this drought and do what we can to decrease our household water consumption until things turn around.

Suck it up and let your grass turn yellow. Talk about First World problems.

much careless smokers annoying the public as it is over-exuberant waterers.

We all know someone doing it. We can see luscious green lawns smattered across the Valley, sticking out like sore thumbs amongst parched, yellow expanses of grass. The sneakier residents keep their green grass and irrigation behind high fences, thinking no one will notice.

The thing is, people are noticing, and people are calling in to the municipalities to report them, and you know what? Good for them.

No one in the Comox Valley has the right to take water from our shrinking supply just to keep their grass green – grass that doesn’t die in a drought, but just goes dormant until the rain comes.

These lawn bandits are using vast amounts of our precious water supply just for esthetic purposes, that’s it, that’s all, which really makes them look selfish. It’s not like they’re rebelling against our watering restrictions to save trees, hedges or plants that don’t go dormant like grass (and cost a lot of money to replace). No, they’re doing this for the colour green.

Licensing rules unfair to seniors

Dear editor I am aware of someone who has recently had his drivers licence cancelled.

Another person, who has always been (overly?) concerned about this person’s driving ability and recently his cognitive state, eventually called a doctor without his consent. The doctor asked the driver to come in for testing and he was subsequently referred to DriveABLE and then to two road tests, which he did not pass. Unfortunately, they were taken almost back to back with no pre-test preparation and he has now had his licence completely cancelled (not even a learners permit).

I am trying to approach this as objectively as possible. The driver is almost 80 and perhaps his skills and memory have mildly declined. However, from what I have learned, he is a robust, intelligent, healthy, active person who has had an excellent driving record for over 50 years. During this debacle, he even received an insurance renewal notice from ICBC congratulating him on his excellent driving record! Also, where is the concrete statistics showing older drivers present the highest risk to safety? And is it really the answer to have mandatory testing at age 80?

In hindsight, I imagine he has regretted going to the doctor’s for testing. I believe he was under the impression this was a doctor/patient confidentiality assessment and didn’t think any information would be passed on to outside sources. However, he was also quite confident and

had every reason to be, of his driving skills and his cognitive ability.

Not much substance to Stampede showings

Dear editor, All hat and no cattle.

That wonderful Texas expression, often applied to politicians who are all show and no substance, came to mind as I glimpsed television images on Friday. Ottawa politicians were kicking off a long hot summer of fund-raising and rubber chicken barbecues, with the obligatory stop in Alberta for the opening of the Calgary Stampede. Justin Trudeau was decked out in the customary bright checkered cowboy shirt, with flowing mane neatly tucked beneath a white Stetson. Along came Tom Mulcair, also wearing a white Stetson and his white shirt accented by a coloured neckerchief, carefully wrangling his delighted grandkids. There used to be a saying about good guys always wearing white hats; as if to prove it correct, the camera then panned to Stephen Harper wearing a dark blue and black check-shirt with an ominous black hat pulled low over his eyes. Gilles Duceppe was nowhere in the picture, just hope his chosen headwear this year is not the hair-net that he wore so resplendently last time he was on the campaign trail. There was also no sign of Elizabeth May at the Stampede opening, but expect she’ll be in attendance wearing a white Stetson before it’s all over; after that recent performance at the Ottawa Press Gallery Dinner, chances are she’ll be made most welcome at the beer tents.

All hat and no cattle, indeed!

CVRD water czar not open to reasonable options

Dear editor, When Mr. Nichol states that area B residents are not happy with the current system of billing for water usage, that is pretty much the understatement of the century.

Although I realize that our area B rep can only speak for area B, area A and C residents feel the same as us.

The current base monthly rate for water was set, according to what Mr. Rutten (senior manager of engineering services) said at the meeting where the rates were presented, to reflect the cost of water plus the cost of maintaining the system. Based on Mr. Rutten’s statement at that time, the second tier charge is just a money grab by the CVRD, and to come out and say that the extra charge will reduce the water use is “big brother knows best” BS. The simple fact is Mr. Rutten is not now and has never been open to change of any kind including billing once a year for water use, which, by the way, would save the CVRD money, certainly for postage and the number of times the meters would have to be read. No has been the only answer from this person since our right to choose was taken from us by the previous elected rural reps. If Mr. Nichol succeeds in his bid for a little common sense to be shown by this bureaucrat it will be tantamount to moving a small mountain. I wish him nothing but good luck in this endeavour.

Remembering Cumberland’s Chinatown ■ Scott Stanfield scott.stanfield @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Strolling to the end of Hai Gai (lower street) at Coal Creek Historic Park, May Gee stops at a photo easel that displays the Sun On Wo General Store and the Joy Lin Low Restaurant.

Her grandfather, Low Hock Shun, owned the building that stood in Cumberland Chinatown from 1918 to 1960. Her mother, Annie, used to live in the building.

Years later, long after Chinatown became a ghost of Cumberland’s past, Gee’s brother, John Leung, created 15 photo easels that display various landmarks of the once thriving community. These include the Larayama building, the Wah Sang Bakery, the Chow Lee Company building, the Mission Church and the original location of Jumbo’s cabin.

Gee’s father, Leung Gang, had a produce farm in Chinatown before moving to Minto Road. He then purchased a building in 1929 that became the Leung Gang company store and later evolved into Leung’s Grocery in Cumberland.

“In the ’50s he branched out and opened another dents. Children would attend public school during the store in Courtenay,” Gee said. “His family was old day, and Chinese school in evenings and on weekends. enough to run the store. Norm (her older brother) was Kay Finch — known as Aunty Kay — and George Apps running the Courtenay store and John was running the were their Sunday school teachers.

Another memorable character was Hor Sue Mah, also known as Jumbo, who worked on the railroad.

“He’s one of those guys who went to work with a tin bucket with his rice in there, and pump those rail cars from one end to the other to fix the ties and the rails,” Norm said.

“That was his job. He lived to a good, ripe age.”

“He lived in Vancouver for quite a few years before he passed away,” May said, recalling the origins of Jumbo’s nickname. “He wasn’t really that big, but he was bigger compared to the other Chinese.”

“Jumbo according to us,” Norm said with a laugh.

Chinese workers brought in by the Dunsmuir family helped build the Wellington Colliery Railway to transport coal to Union Bay. The site of the #2 mine containing houses, businesses and market gardens became one of Canada’s largest Chinese communities by the end of the Second World War. Estimates peg the population of Cumberland Chinatown at nearly 3,000 residents, though Gee questions this figure.

Over the course of the town’s existence, an estimated 100 Chinese miners died in coal mining disasters. Others suffered losses from flood and fires, including one in 1943 that destroyed 43 buildings.

The B.C. government banned Chinese from voting in 1872. Subsequent legislation banned them from working on projects such as road building. Chinese were also barred from working in pulp and

paper mills in 1922, and prohibited from working underground by the Chinese Immigration Act in 1923. (Last year, government delivered a formal apology to Chinese Canadians for historical wrongs committed by past provincial governments.)

Chinese miners earned half as much Europeans. A sign at Coal Creek says white workers at #3 mine that operated from 18881893 earned $2.50 to $4 a day. Chinese workers earned $1 to $1.25.

A head tax initiated in 1884 didn’t make things any easier.

“It started at $50, went up to $100 then went to $500,” Norm said. “My father had to pay the $500. In those days you could buy a house, and buy land. You could buy everything for $500.”

The Depression marked the end of mining jobs for Chinese workers. The population continued to decline into the 1960s. Throughout the decade, bottle diggers and collectors ransacked what was left of the site. By 1968 most of the buildings had been levelled. The exception was Jumbo’s cabin, which was moved up the hill to Comox Lake Road where it continues to stand.

Former Chinatown residents and descendants have reunited each year in Vancouver since 1972.

More than 100 people attended the 2010 reunion.

The Cumberland Museum and Archives is working on a project to index its Chinese Canadian artifacts and archives. A computerized database will contain coins, photographs and other items that will be available to the public and researchers.

Kevin East ■ Erin Haluschak erin.haluschak @comoxvalleyrecord.com

Kevin East knows the importance of family.

It was family that transplanted him from the prairies to Vancouver Island, it’s family that gives him motivation to take care of his customers every day, and it’s family that inspired him to begin a dad-centered website and support/ networking group in the Comox Valley.

Originally from Manitoba, East explains he “took a leap of faith” when he and his family decided to pack their bags and head west to the Valley.

“I quit my job, (my wife) transferred her job, and then I met Ray (Crossley).”

East worked with the late Comox councillor and owner of Ambassador Shuttle for three days before he passed away, and with the Crossley family knowing East wanted to buy the business, six months later ownership was transferred.

“Let’s continue his legacy; let’s rock it,” adds East. “I’m very grateful for the support of the community. Everyone knew of Ray, so we got off to a good start.”

With two vans and two drivers, East has grown his business to the capacity where he can now serve the entire Island with his fleet

East works closely with other similar businesses across the Island, and notes there is room for everyone to work closely and collaboratively - he says it ensures the best customer service possible for guests and visitors to the area.

Working with a variety of customers from airport pick-ups to charters, he says he’s inspired by the stories and conversations he’s had over the years.

“I’ve been thinking for awhile about writing a book - Chronicles of a Taxi Driver,” he notes with a laugh.

As his business grew, East realized the balance between business and family life wasn’t even, and made him question himself about what is more important.

“I wanted to pull back a bit and do something good,” he says. He was inspired from many conversations he had between some of his customers - namely those who were shuttling between the Comox Valley and Fort McMurray who were away from their families for weeks at a time.

“That’s where the idea started - I want to create a Dad page (website) dedicated to dads: their stories, thinking about their children and their wives.”

East hopes to create the page within the next six months, in addition to starting a weekly ‘Dad’s Club’ - an informal breakfast meeting where dads can come together, meet new people and network.

■ United for a national cause

On Saturday afternoon, five federal candidates from three different parties came together in a spirit of co-operation to stand behind the campaign initiated by Friends of Canadian Broadcasting in support of the country’s taxfunded national broadcaster. All candidates representing federal parties in the local constituencies were invited to participate. Five candidates, from three different parties, took petitions and handed out lawn signs.

Lingerie Experts answer Your most common questions At Secret Drawers Lingerie our clients have many questions before they make an investment in fine lingerie. So today, we’d like to take a moment to answer five of your most common lingerie questions.

Do bra extenders work? Should I get a bra extender?

Bra extenders may seem like a good idea but they actually don’t work because they completely throw off the engineering of a bra. Consider this: you wouldn’t get an extender for your shirt, so you shouldn’t’ get one for your bra either. And remember, no matter what size you are, there is a bra that will fit you perfectly.

Do white bras go under white clothes?

It’s common misconception that if you want to wear white, you should have white underthings. Actually, you want a bra that matches your skin tone for an invisible look.

Should you wear underwear under white pants?

Sometimes women think that in order to avoid people seeing their underwear, they should just go without under thin, white fabrics.

Your best bet to hide panty lines is actually a nude thong or a nude panty, if you prefer.

Why isn’t my bra size always the same?

A 36 C cup is not always a 36 C cup, believe it or not. Just as fashion lines run large or small depending on the designer, so do lingerie lines. Our best advice is not to look at the number and cup size but, rather, trust a lingerie professional to bring you something that will work best for your size and shape.

How often should I wash my bra?

You should wash your bra every 2-3 wearings as your body oils will deteriorate the elastic and repeated wearings will stretch out your bra. Just like washing reshapes a shirt to being like new, washing a bra does the same thing.

Ideally, you should hand wash with a gentle soap such as Forever New. Vashti and Nena If your question hasn’t been answered above, please do pop in to see us and we’ll be happy to answer anything else you may want to know.

Health: Cutting used as a coping mechanism Continued from Page 3 “It’s an instant way in changing the way you feel,” said Hext.

It redirects the pain of a situation. Hext added it is “very habit forming, and seems to

be epidemic.”

According to the Canadian Mental Health Association website, an increasing number of teens are using cutting, and other forms of

self–harm, such as burning, as coping mechanisms.

“People who self-injure are not trying to end their lives, but they can experience those thoughts. When

they self-injure, they are trying to cope with difficult or overwhelming thoughts or feelings.”

Cutting is most common among teenagers – teenage girls, specifically.

The CMHA advises that anyone involved with self-harm seek help – if not professional, at least seek advice from someone you trust.

For a parent concerned about their child and signs of self harm, communication is key.

For more information on the signs of self-injury, see the CMHA website at bit. ly/1CmJQli

Sheppard said that while the issue is real, she remains an eternal optimist.

“There are people that I think I haven’t helped, and they do get better and I don’t know why – and there are people who don’t get better. But I always have hope.”

Dealing with teens in distress every day can be a daunting task. Sheppard said there are times when she feels as though she is dealing with the majority of teens in her community.

But there is always one time of the year that brings her back to a positive light.

“It can seem like sometimes there’s this thought that this is the whole world, because that’s all you see,” she said. “But then I look at the grad pictures in the paper every year and I realize that I don’t know most of the kids.

That is such a great feeling.”

Hext said seeing teens he has helped in those pictures is also encouraging.

“I will look through them and see someone I know and think, wow, I worked with that person two years ago and he was really struggling.

“Now he’s smiling, he’s graduating.

I know that doesn’t mean all his problems are over, but it’s a start.”

Chamber of Commerce is the political voice for business ■ Andrew Gower

from the chair

A town isn’t founded by government.

History shows us that business people and entrepreneurs come to an area because of opportunity and take the risk needed to create a community.

The business community and private interests build our Villages, Towns and Cities, and then government is formed to regulate them. All of the

facilities we have today are funded by private businesses generating wealth and paying corporate taxes, or by having employees pay income tax, which funds government.

Here in the Comox Valley, the Chamber of Commerce has built its credibility over almost 100 years, having been founded in 1919 as a Board of Trade.

Amongst the original members is the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

If you aren’t a member of the Chamber, you are missing out on a huge opportunity. Representing over 500 businesses, including major employers such as Mount Washington, St.

Comox Avenue • 250-339-4847 Lerwick Courtenay • 250-338-5656 8th Street Courtenay • 250-338-1401

Joseph’s Hospital, Crown Isle and the Kingfisher, the Chamber represents the majority of businesses, and employees, in the Comox Valley. There is no other organization that speaks with the unified voice of business for the Valley.

The Chamber is truly the only business-oriented organization in the Comox Valley that can lobby on behalf of business, with all levels of government.

Our local economic development society (CVEDS), while a good representative of our community to external organizations, cannot speak for business locally as its funding is derived from local government. This

puts CVEDS (Comox Valley Economic Development Society) in a systemic and unavoidable conflict of interest if it were to represent the interests of local business to local governments. The Chamber, on the other hand, is funded solely by membership dues and revenues from events. As such, the Chamber represents the business community to all levels of government without conflicts.

This freedom to lobby, which exists for Chambers across the country, exists due to the fact that the Chamber does not receive publicly funding monies for its services. The Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce

The realtor who does it all

By Katie Maximick Royal LePage realtor Val Wright wears many hats: mom, wife, business woman, captain, hockey player, and coach, to name a few.

With only 24 hours in a day, it’s no wonder people ask how she does it all.

“Time management,” she answered, smiling. “I’m in a business coaching program this year, where I’m breaking everything down into time blocks. Being prepared ahead of time and having a business plan is what makes people successful.”

“Scheduling time for yourself is important, too,” Wright added. “It’s how you accomplish anything.”

Wright got her real estate license in 2005 after her mother suggested she’d make a great realtor. As the

saying goes, mother knows best. Wright is currently on track to have the best year of her career, and she says experience and creating a routine are likely why.

“The honest truth as to why I’m so much better than I was a few years ago is because I have a routine now,” she said. “Having a routine, like getting up early and working out, is part of my business plan. I’m doing well because I’ve made a system I want to follow. It’s about planning.”

“My last three years have all been good years. 2007 was a really good year for me, and this year is on track to be the same or better. I have a really good business plan for this year, and I’ve worked really hard.”

When she isn’t wheeling and dealing real estate, Wright is busy spending time with her family, co-captaining the Brick House Betties roller derby team, playing hockey and coaching the Stone Cold Stellas Jr. roller derby team.

Roller derby has particularly become a big part of Wright’s life, mostly because of the positive, inclusive culture the sport brings to many people’s lives.

“I grew up skating,” Wright said. “I’ve been skating since I was three. When I first joined roller derby, it was just to have a skating outlet, and it instantly turned into so much more because of the people.”

“Roller derby is for everybody, it’s inclusive and welcoming. Everybody gets See WRIGHT page 23

First Insurance puts community first ■ Katie Maximick katie.maximic @comoxvalleyrecord.com

When the Comox Valley’s Coast Country Insurance combined forces with Powell River’s First Insurance nearly a decade ago, the only thing that changed was the name.

Now known as First Insurance, the three branches across the Comox Valley still provide the same great customer service by the same great staff.

“Our core culture is the same, it really is,” says insurance broker Karen MacGregor. “We revised the name and the logos, but we’re still the core people underneath, and that’s amazing.”

“I’ve been here a long time, and I think it’s an amazing place to work.”

It’s also an amazingly selfless compa-

ny, one that prides itself on giving back to the community year after year, hosting events like the Secret Santa program, the Comox Nautical Days Bullhead Derby and Movie Night under the Stars. They are also active in community initiatives like Keys for Cancer, Habitat for Humanity, the Ducky 500 and Empire Days, to name a few.

“We always want to give back to the community,” said Colby Craven, branch manager of First Insurance’s Washington Park location. “Our motto is, ‘To strengthen the wellbeing of our member clients and make a meaningful community impact,’ so we always put our volunteering into the community

and help out in any way we can.”

“Lots of staff members are involved in things like PTA, Rotary or coaching sports teams, then we have our events we run as a company. The extra things we do as a company make it enjoyable to come in every day. It’s not just a job.

We’re all friends, we hang outside of work – we’re a team inside and out.”

Craven added that all staff members have their favourite events, but for her, the one that has the biggest impact on the community is the Secret Santa program, which aims to get each registered child a present at Christmas.

“The Secret Santa program has averaged about 400 children a year for the past 20-plus years,” Craven said. “Sometimes there have been 800 or 900 kids in the Valley, every year is different, but every staff member does

2014 Bullhead Derby Winner

something. Whether it’s phoning the people to arrange deliveries, packing up presents or going shopping, we all do something, and the presents on the list that aren’t bought by the community, we’ll go buy them ourselves.”

“We get cards from the little kids to say ‘Thanks, Santa,’ and the cards that we’ve received from the moms out there, the feedback of what a doll has done for a child… No kid should go without a present.”

It’s this longstanding history of giving back on a local level that makes First Insurance stand out in the Comox Valley.

Along with the many events they host, each branch donates money to various charities every year and tries to keep any money fundraised in the community, such as purchasing equipment for the cancer ward at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

It’s a history First Insurance is proud of, and a history they’re

still writing.

Up next, First Insurance and the Comox Valley Record will be sponsoring the 29th Annual Comox Nautical Days Bullhead Derby on Aug. 1 at 8:30 am, with prizes ranging from weirdest catch to biggest fish.

“We’re starting to see the second generation of Bullhead Derby goers coming out,” Craven said, “The kids of people who came out over 20 years ago, and it’s great.”

“The kids get so excited. They’re wearing their life jackets and have their fishing poles and go out and catch them. How exciting is that?”

To register for this year’s Bullhead Derby, check at Marina Park between 8 am and 9 am on Saturday, Aug. 1.

First Insurance has three locations: the Comox Mall, Washington Park (next to Superstore) and 8th Street in Courtenay.

“My experience with Bryce Hansen was excellent. He makes a genuine and committed effort in providing exceptional service to his clients, and his attentive, professional attitude made the process a positive one. From start to finish, Bryce was there every step of the way, making sure I was well taken care of. Bryce went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, even after the purchase of my home. Bryce was incredibly helpful in my transition into a new community and made everything go smoothly.

I am so glad I was able to work with him, and would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a realtor who not only knows the business, but also knows how to take care of people.” —K.

continued from 21 to make it what they want it to be, whether that’s to compete or just have fun, or wear a fluffy skirt or fun socks.”

It was this inclusive culture that Wright noticed was missing for youth in the Comox Valley.

Noticing the void, she created Stone Cold Stellas Jr. Roller Derby in November 2011, a team with ages ranging from seven to 17.

“Roller derby is a relatively new sport and there was no junior roller derby here. The first year I started, I had 10 kids.

Six were from here and four drove up from Nanaimo. After the first year they started their own junior derby team in Nanaimo, and now one of the original girls is skating at the World Cup this weekend.”

“The kids are really cool. I love teaching them and being a mentor,” she said. “I can’t really explain how much I love being with those kids.”

With how much time Wright devotes to her job, her family and the community, it’s no wonder why business coaching and time management have become the keys to her success after 10 years in the business.

“Coaching makes you look further into the future at what you want to accomplish, break it down and work on it,” she said. “That’s what makes me stay on track and be more successful.”

“I’m always moving forward and progressing in my business.”

If so, you are up for renewal at the best time ever! With the mortgage rates at an all-time low, those who are up for renewal in 4 months or less have hit the jackpot. Sadly, just because low rates are available does not mean your Bank will offer them to you.

RYT scores with behind-the-scenes team Special to The Record

This summer season’s Rainbow Youth Theatre presentation, The Wizard of Oz (Jr.) benefits from a dedicated cadre of RYT Board members, experienced professionals, and volunteers who have a keen interest in musical theatre.

Board members Karae White and Rosie Smith bring their insight and organizational skills to their Wizard co-producer roles. Their understanding of the big picture helps them focus the many tasks assigned to behind-thescenes production volunteers. That’s absolutely necessary with only a threeweek rehearsal schedule and a cast of six- to 14-year-olds, some of whom have musical theatre experience, while others are neophytes.

If one person can bring her professional experience to bear when corralling a gaggle of young actors, it’s Candice Woloshyn, the Wizard’s director. Although relatively new to the Valley, Woloshyn skillfully employs her dance background, honed on the mainland, and her recent experience

at Pantuso Dance in musical theatre and with pre-school children, as she directs Wizard. She believes the “supportive group atmosphere and the positive influence more experienced RYT actors bring to rehearsals and performances ignites a creative passion and joy in the younger ones.”

That same passion and joy can be seen in Woloshyn as she approaches each day’s rehearsals.

The same is true of Carrie Lemke, who is the production’s musical director, though she prefers to think of her role in Wizard as that of a vocal coach.

As the owner of the Valley’s Carrie Lemke Studios, she has previously coached a number of the Wizard’s cast.

Lemke believes that any person who is serious about musical theatre must develop the “triple threat of their craft: acting, dancing and singing.” She recognizes that the Valley and certainly RYT incubate the performing arts in those aspiring to be arts professionals as well as hobbyists. Additionally, performing arts develop “life skills like being able to focus and being committed,” according to Lemke.

As if to verify this, James Coates,

“Searle’s for that hard to fit foot” “Serving the Comox Valley for over 80 Years”

250 Fifth St.,Courtenay

250-334-3178 Open Monday to Saturday 9:30 - 5:30 pm Fridays till 9:00 pm

www.searlesshoes.com

a familiar Valley actor and the youth representative to the RYT Board, is turning his talents to the backstage area serving as the Wizard’s stage manager. While he prefers performing, Coates can see the benefit of “knowing all facets of producing a musical.”

Sharing Coates’ view, Monique McKean, a first-time volunteer with RYT, is a general university studies student at North Island College who is interested in fine arts and web design. She wants “to experience many art mediums” and her interests are being put to work in Wizard as she paints scenery for the production. She hopes to gain “artistic confidence and to possibly expand into set design.”

It’s individuals like these who make RYT’s 2015 production of The Wizard of Oz (Jr.) not to be missed. Performances are scheduled at the Mark R. Isfeld stage on July 23, 24, and 25 at 7 p.m. with matinees on July 25 and 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person and are available from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School, the Laughing Oyster Bookstore, and Red Carpet Consignment.

TheatreWorks using animal themes

■ People’s Choice

The ballots are counted! The winner of the Pearl Ellis Gallery’s Peoples Choice Award for the summer of 2015 is Heron Yawn, a scratchboard piece by Sharon Lennox. Heron Yawn will be on display until 4 p.m. Sunday, July 19 at the gallery along with all the other members’ works of art.

TheatreWorks has gone to the dogs...er, ahh... cats!

Summer theatre is in full swing and TheatreWorks students are ready to present a double bill about cats and dogs, Home of Our Own, and Canine Capers.

First up is a tale of homelessness. Home of Our Own tells of a family of kittens who wake up to find themselves at the prison where all the forgotten animals go.

Students age 5-12 years of age are learning theatre skills and confidence-building in the rehearsal process that allows each student to have a personalized role which helps them feel included and special.

The second feature is Canine Capers where dalmatian pups are waiting for their humans to come and claim them for their own.

The Canine Council holds regular meetings to discuss the goings-on in doggie town. Cruella Deville is up to her evil schemes as she plots, with her bumbling

sidekicks, to kidnap more pups.

The Canine Council put their paws together and use their senses, their smarts and their shenanigans to out-wit Cruella and save the young pups.

The cast in each production is not only learning theatre etiquette but is developing social skills by working as a team and supporting each other just as the cats and dogs in their stories do.

Some students have been introduced to the SPCA and to Kitty Kat PALS and have a wonderful empathy for the care and commitment to having a special pet. A donation box for supplies has been started and they can’t wait for delivery day.

Come support these dedicated students in both wonderful adventures for some family fun.

Home of Our Own July 17 at 7 p.m. and July 18 at 1 p.m. and Canine Capers is July 24 at 7 p.m. and 25 at 1 p.m.

Both shows at Gagliardi Academy

at 1475 Noel Ave. (formerly Brooklyn Elementary). Tickets available at the door.

During the first week of June, Smitty and I were first season special guests of Ken Jenkins on the first 2015 charter trip of Codfather Charters operating out of the marina in Port Hardy.

It was an exceptional trip on many fronts; but when you have an average age of 92 in two old anglers as guests, the operator has to hope for calm waters and biting fish. We had both, – but let me digress.

We are in the two most important months of the year – July and August for the charter-boat – fishing guide business throughout Vancouver Island and the coast from Vancouver to Prince Rupert. Depending on the species, the charter-boat business operates throughout the year. They provide guided fishing trips on virtually all species of fish in tidal waters and many in the non-tidal waters; it is a huge, important business to our province. There is a wide variety of services offered by individual operators – but their major goal is to catch fish for the customer and ensure that they have a pleasant experience during the charter-boat trip. In the Comox Valley we are served by charter operators in Deep Bay, Comox Harbour, Oyster River Area and Campbell River. By shopping around you can get day trips that are much less expensive than full guided trips with accommodation and ancillary services. For recent retires who may have moved to the Valley and want a crash course in local fishing, I suggest a local charter trip is an excellent introduction.

Codfather Charters offers a complete angling service plus accommodation. Your catch can be taken to Hardy Boys processing plant for flash freezing so when you go home all you have to do is transfer the fish from your cooler to the freezer. Needless to say, this feature is very popular with the ladies on the home front. There are similar services available in the Comox Valley and Campbell River.

We start early - on the wharf at 6 a.m. all ready to board the 31-foot Bertram that Ken operates throughout the summer with his deck hand Barry Pooley. This boat is a luxury to fish from in many respects - we were being spoiled; heck once in awhile it is nice to be spoiled.

Proof of a great day on the water.

Our first fishing stop was briefly at Duval point where Smitty caught and released a small chinook. From here we ran north to waters above Pine Island in Area 11. In the space of the next six hours we had a dream trip for two old guys. It is safe to say that Ken knows these waters as well as he knows his living room. Our first target was halibut – in a short time on the grounds we landed two small halibut in the 20-pound range. We then started to fish salmon and our best fish was a prime fish of 22 lb chinook.

The next challenge was lingcod and incidental red snappers. Barry baited our hooks with large herring and sent our jigs into 200 feet of water over rocky outcrops. The jigging was made easy with some clever rod holders on

the stern of the boat. In what seemed a short time in the company of whales we landed two prime lingcod and two small red snappers. When I think about it, how do you improve on a one day fishing trip where each of you land halibut, salmon, lingcod and red snappers? To further enrich the event our fish were cleaned, flash frozen and packed for us to take back to Courtenay the next morning. From two old men who have fished and hunted together for over 40 years – thank-you Codfather Charters.

Paddle Battle down the Courtenay River It was a Canada Day to remember as hundreds of people celebrated the first annual Comox Valley Dodge/White Whale Paddle Battle.

Kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, tubes and snorkelers all entered the Curtenay River at the Condensory Bridge at 5 p.m. and celebrated their way down to the White Whale for their one-year anniversary party extravaganza.

People lined the shores and bridges with Canada Day cheers as the Canucks floated by with high-fives, headstands, Eskimo rolls and wheelie demonstrations. Live DJs, bands, burgers, beer and dancing filled the White Whale, deck, dock and parking lot. making for a real life beer commercial.

“The theme behind the Paddle Battle was water rights and awareness as the tides sure are a changing,” said event organizer Marc St.Jules. “People need to be more aware and educated with what’s happening with our very limited and precious water resources, many still take water for granted and the smallest details must not be overlooked.”

This event was such a success that special plans are already in the works for next year.

the top up though, visibility is not nearly as good. Blind spots abound so be extra careful when navigating around the city.

Regardless of engine size you have under the Mustang’s shapely hood, this rear-wheel drive coupe aka Fastback is a very agreeable car to drive. The cabin is quiet and welcoming. There’s room for four inside, but the rear seats should be reserved for those who are not as longlimbed. It can get pretty cozy back there, especially if you’re tall and push the seat all the way back.

You could argue that any spot in the Mustang is a “good” seat. Top up or down.

Whether it’s the roar of the V8 or the polite grunting of the 2.3L EcoBoost, Ford’s iconic coupe/convertible can be compared with wine. It continues to get better with age.

CarPlay designed not to distract drivers GMC is adding Apple CarPlay capability to the 2016 Canyon, Yukon and Sierra, taking the iPhone features customers want to access while driving and putting them on the vehicle’s display in a smart, simple manner with the brand’s IntelliLink system.

Android Auto capability will also be offered on some Sierra models at the beginning of the model year and all Sierra, Canyon and Yukon models later in the year.

The features allow customers to use select smartphone apps through the touchscreen interface of GMC’s IntelliLink system. Many features can be controlled via voice commands through a button on the steering The features allow wheel, helping drivers keep their eyes on the road and customers to use hands on the wheel.

“GMC IntelliLink is taking select smartphone another step forward with apps through the this simple and intuitive touchscreen interface functionality that makes of GMC’s IntelliLink phones and vehicles work better together,” said Dunsystem. can Aldred, vice president of Keith Morgan GMC Sales and Marketing.

“Like other GMC features, from OnStar 4G LTE connectivity and active safety features, it’s technology designed to enhance the driving experience without intruding on it.”

GMC’s latest infotainment systems include an eight-inch-diagonal screen version offered on Canyon, Yukon and Sierra, which will be compatible only with Apple CarPlay at the beginning of the 2016 model year. A seven-inch-diagonal screen radio is offered on Sierra base models and will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability at the beginning of the model year. Android Auto capability is expected to be available on the eight-inch system later in the 2016 model year.

Apple CarPlay takes the iPhone features customers want to access while driving and puts them on the vehicle’s display in a smart, simple manner. This allows drivers to make calls, send and receive messages and listen to music right from the touchscreen or by voice via Siri. Apple CarPlay-supported apps include Phone, Messages, Maps, Music and third-party audio apps.

Android Auto is built around Google Maps, Google Now and the ability to talk to Google, as well as a growing audio and messaging app ecosystem that includes WhatsApp, Skype, Google Play Music, Spotify and podcast players.

Using either application is simple. A “Projection” icon on the IntelliLink screen is visible when a phone is not connected, then changes to indicate CarPlay or Android Auto when a compatible phone is connected via USB. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Protecting your interest after a hit-and-run ■ Tim Schewe BEHIND THE WHEEL

In response to hearing the siren of an approaching fire engine, Cindy Li slowed in preparation to yield to it.

While her vehicle was still moving, it was struck from behind by another car. She stopped, exited her car, walked back to the other car and spoke to the young male driver, requesting that he pull over to exchange information. As she returned to her car, the male drove around her and disappeared from sight.

Ms. Li went to the fire hall and spoke with a captain there. The captain told her that one of the firemen on the truck witnessed the collision. She obtained the captain’s name and telephone number and reported the collision to ICBC. The collision was not reported to the police nor was there any information obtained from other motorists present at the collision.

After participating in the claims process ICBC told Ms. Li that she had not fulfilled her obligations to identify the offending driver and denied the claim as a hit and run. Li would have to proceed as a normal collision claim and as she did not have collision coverage, would have to pay for the damages herself.

She sued ICBC in B.C. Supreme Court saying that she did what she could and ICBC should have advised her that she needed to do more.

The court did not agree and dismissed the suit.

The Insurance (Vehicle) Act requires that the victim of a hit-and-run must make all reasonable efforts to discover who the driver and owner of the suspect vehicle is and satisfy the court that the identity of those persons cannot be found. If you were unable to find information at the scene initially, you might consider canvassing nearby homes or businesses, placing an ad in the newspaper or posting a sign requesting help.

Reflectors are important

An important piece of safety equipment that is often overlooked on all variety of vehicles is the humble reflector. Why do I need reflectors?

I’ve got lights! I heard this many times at the roadside after pointing out a lack of reflectors to a driver. True, but what happens if you park, break down or have to leave a disabled trailer at the roadside? What protects you and other road users at night? The reflectors.

Sad to say, but I can point to a fatal collision that I helped investigate where a lack of reflectors might have played a part. Maybe, just maybe the person hit would still be alive if the reflectors on his vehicle had been in good condition.

Generally, all vehicles require amber reflectors at the sides on the front and red reflectors on the sides and the rear. They are identified by the letter A in the collection of identifiers on the lens after DOT or SAE. Reflective markings, the long strips often seen on heavy commercial vehicles, are acceptable reflectors when they are marked SAE-C, SAEC2, 3 or 4.

The front of a vehicle is the only side where reflectors are not required. I can see a concern when someone decides not to follow the rules and parks on the wrong side of the road, especially when visibility is poor at night or when oncoming vehicle headlights reduce your ability to see ahead.

I hate to admit it, but bicycle lanes confuse me. The Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) defines them as a designated use lane that is part of the highway, but not part of the roadway. Both the province and municipalities are able to create designated use lanes and restrict who may use them through legislation.

For the driver, the concept of roadway suddenly becomes very important. Roadway

directs otherwise.

If the highway shoulder is paved and passable, a cyclist must ride on it. If not, they are allowed to use the right hand edge of the roadway. The MVA does not require the use of cycle lanes if present and I have not found a municipal bylaw that requires their use either.

The bottom line? It’s probably best that cyclists use bicycle lanes if they are present and drivers should exercise extra caution, especially when turning. The cyclist may see their bicycle lane as being clear and pass you on the right.

Do bike lanes confuse you?

includes the lanes motor vehicles drive in and the area where they park at the side of the highway that is not the shoulder. So, if you approach an intersection intending to make a right turn, your pre-turn position is dependent on whether there is a curb or parking is available to the right of the bicycle lane or not. If not, you must remain to the left of the bicycle lane. If so, and it is practical to do so, you must move onto the parking area or next to the curb before you turn.

For the cyclist, it is forbidden to ride other than single file when using the roadway. If the shoulder of the highway or the cycle lane is wide enough, there is no rule that prohibits riding side by side there unless a bylaw

Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Perhaps you are aspiring to be Canada’s smartest person?

In the world of business it does not really matter because your objective is to establish SMART goals which have nothing to do with these gimmicky entertainment features.

SMART as you have guessed or already know is a business mnemonic. It stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-based.

When establishing goals for your business, understanding how these five elements impact on your decisions will ensure you have made the right choices.

Setting goals is not a guessing game. By using the SMART principle, if you think of it as a simple fivestep process, you can turn the task of

■ Joe Smith IT’S YOUR BUSINESS

setting goals into a meaningful marketing strategy.

Briefly, here’s what each step in the process entails.

Step one – Specific: It is not enough of a goal to say that you are going to increase business. That’s a generality. It is better to be more focused on the outcome of your goal by stating something like we will increase business by 10 per cent.

Step two – Measurable: There is no point in setting a goal if you cannot track whether you are being successful. While it is fine to say you will increase business by 10 per cent, what does this mean in actual num-

bers? Is it $10,000 or $50,000? Make sure when you set your goal it can be tracked.

Step three – Attainable: I had a student once who claimed that in their first year of operating a business after college they would pay off all their student loans, buy a new car, a house, be mortgage free, hire a staff of three and generate revenue in excess of $500 million.

A dream perhaps; however, goals should be something that are attainable and based on thorough analysis of the market.

Step four – Realistic: As in step three it is essential that you establish goals that are realistic. By being honest with yourself ask if the goal you have set is something that can happen?
