ANIMAL NEGLECT IN PARKSVILLE
Man gets 10-yr ban SPCA protection officer calls it ‘profound neglect’ CANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com
A 23-year-old Parksville man has been banned from owning animals for 10 years after forcing a 14-month Alaskan Malamute to live in what SPCA investigators called “deplorable” conditions in a home along Corfield Street. Nathan Boire pleaded guilty last week in Nanaimo Provincial Court to causing an animal to continue to be in distress. SPCA senior animal protection officer Tina Heary said constables found the female dog named Effy being forced to live in a shed covered in feces and urine. “There were One of her legs was swollen c o u n t l e s s at a joint, angled mounds of exirregularly. She was not crement,” said walking on the pads of Heary, noting her feet. it was difficult TINA HEARY to determine how long the dog lived in such conditions. “Some of the waste matter was old and mouldy, some were fresh piles, there was urine throughout the area… It was certainly difficult for us to walk in there without (stepping in) it.” Heary said the case illustrates “profound neglect” of an animal. “One of her legs was swollen at a joint, angled irregularly,” she said. “She was not walking on the pads of her feet, she was trying to walk on her knuckles.” Heary said the owners admitted the dog had never been to a vet and voluntarily surrendered her to the SPCA.

MEANWHILE, IN PROVINCIAL POLITICS
Changing the boundaries MLAs will vote on the recommendations which would be in effect for the 2017 election CANDACE WU news@pqbnews.com
Parksville’s provincial electoral boundaries may stretch northward. A final report released last week by the British Columbia Electoral Boundaries Commission proposed
an extension to include Dashwood in the current Parksville-Qualicum provincial riding. The report said the areas surrounding Nanaimo including Parksville Qualicum Beach are experiencing “moderate” population growth. “These areas share ties and… combine various communities in one electoral district,” states the report, which was made public Friday morning. “The changes we propose address the growing population in this area and respond to requests to unite af-
filiated communities.” The report proposes changes to 48 of the current 85 districts, while also proposing two additional electoral districts in Richmond and Surrey. According to the report, most of the suggested changes are relatively minor including adjustments to better align the boundaries to roads, administrative boundaries and natural geographic features. MLAs will vote on the recommendations which would be in effect for the 2017 election.

19 groups share the cash
AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com
The Parksville Beach Festival Society disbursed $42,500 to other local volunteer organizations last Thursday. “This is our favourite part of the year,” society president Cheryl Dill told the packed Parksville Civic and Technology Centre Forum where representatives of the 19 community groups who’d helped welcome 104,427 people through the gate during last summer’s Quality Foods Canadian Open Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition. Dill thanked all the organizations, revealed next year’s Beachfest dates as July 15 to Aug. 21, thanked outgoing manager Trish Smith for her years of service and introduced Mayor Marc Lefebvre, Quality Foods’ Randy Henson and society board members, including their only honourary member Joan Lemoine, who then invited the groups up one by one to receive a cheque and briefly explain what they would do with the money. Arrowsmith Search and Rescue, for example will put it towards expanding their search hall to accommodate their new truck. Preceptor Delta Zeta said the money would go towards their ongoing initiatives like a VIU student bursary and supporting the SOS, Salvation Army, Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, Milner Gardens and Cops for Cancer. Supporting too many other good causes to mention, the other groups receiving a share were: Bowser Seniors Housing Society, Err-
ington Therapeutic Riding Association, Forward House, Fraternal Order of Eagles, Knights of Columbus, Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation, Oceanside Community Safety Volunteers, Parksville Curling Club, Parksville Lawn Bowling Club, Parksville Lions Club, Parksville Qualicum Elks #589, Rotary Club of Parksville AM, Rotary Club of Parksville Noon Hour, Rotary Club of Qualicum Beach Sunrise, Royal Canadian Legion Bowser Ladies Auxiliary, Royal Canadian Legion Parksville Ladies Auxiliary, Xi Delta Pi Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. Along with the sand sculpting event, the Beach Festival Society mandate is to help the community grow and spread out 25 per cent of their gate proceeds to their supporting groups, who had donated 2,500 hours of work to the event. “Our heart is swelling with pride for all the wonderful work you do, it really is mind blowing the kind of impact you have,” Dill told the groups. Since 1999, the society has donated more than $400,000 to non-profit organizations and projects, including construction of the park gazebo and community signs. This year they set aside $15,000 for park improvements. Mayor Lefebvre told a story of telling the premier at the recent UBCM conference about Beachfest’s 105,000 attendees, only to have her highlight it to the entire gathering during her speech. “So maybe we got some good advertising for next summer.” For more information, visit: www.parksvillebeachfest.ca

Cottrell, who works for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, will speak about “Marine Mammal Management: Actions to Minimize Impact.” He will provide a vivid summary of more than 15 humpback whale and grey whale disentanglement efforts conducted by the B.C. Marine Mammal Response Network. Cottrell will discuss hazards to marine mammals, programs to enable disentanglement, and interactions between human activities, industries and marine mammal life. He was instrumental in rescuing sea lions near Fanny Bay and whales in the waters off Ucluelet. He was also involved after a whale washed up on the shores of Comox. Cottrell made a significant contribution to the highly successful restoration of a large grey whale skeleton exhibit, which is now a major feature at VIU’s Deep Bay Marine Field Station in Bowser. Cottrell has worked with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for more than 18 years as
a marine mammal research biologist, fishery officer, and area chief of resource management. He was the Pacific marine mammal coordinator and now leads the large whale disentanglement program. His presentation takes place at the Forum, main floor of the Parksville Civic & Technology Centre, 100 Jensen Ave., Parksville from 10 a.m. to noon. Tickets ($10 each) will be available at the door and everyone is welcome. Following the presentation, audience members are invited to a special luncheon at 1 p.m. with Cottrell at VIU’s Deep Bay Marine Field Station in Bowser. Catered by the gourmet VIU culinary program, the luncheon is $17 per person.

On the ballot in this riding (Courtenay-Alberni)
The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Monday AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com
After one of the longest campaigns in recent Canadian history, voters go to the polls Monday to choose our 42nd parliament. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. this Monday, Oct. 19 with eight voting locations in the Parksville Qualicum Beach region. The final list of official candidates are Barbara Biley (Marxist-Leninist), John Duncan (Conservative), Gord Johns (NDP), Carrie Powell-Davidson (Liberal) and Glenn Sollitt (Green). To vote you need to be registered and have either government ID with your photo (Driver’s licence or provincial ID) or two other forms of ID like a passport, library card or credit card statement as long as one has your current address. Elections Canada says it may be helpful to bring the voter card you should have received in the mail, but it is not required and is not enough to vote. The Elections Canada office at #6-160 Corfield, beside Thrifty Foods, can help with enquires, but it is too late if you are not already registered to vote. For more information try www.elections.ca or 1-800-463-6868, including a place to enter your postal code to find your polling station, likely the closest from the following list: • Nanoose Place (2925 Northwest Bay Rd.). • Parksville Community and Conference Centre (132 Jensen Ave. E.). • Parksville Fellowship Baptist Church (550 Pym St.). • St. Columba Presbyterian Church (921 Wembley Rd., French Creek). • The Bradley Centre (975 Shearme Rd., Errington). • Christian Fellowship Centre (825 Village Way, Qualicum Beach). • Qualicum Beach Civic Centre (747 Jones St.). • Lighthouse Community Hall (240 Lions Way, Qualicum Bay).

news@pqbnews.com
As one of the longest election campaigns in Canadian history reaches the home stretch, you can bet federal candidates for the Courtenay-Alberni riding have answered the same questions more than a few times. But Tuesday afternoon they were thrown a curve ball by Kwalikum Secondary School’s (KSS) student body. At the Qualicum Beach high school’s standing-room-only election forum, moderated by drama teacher Dan Osleeb and organized by teacher Kati Worthen, one student poignantly asked: Who would you vote for in this election if you couldn’t vote for yourself? “Locally, I’d vote for the guy I like the best and that’s Glenn Sollitt (Green),” Conservative candidate John Duncan answered modestly. Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson agreed, saying the Green Party’s environmental ideals aligned closest
with the Liberals so she would also vote for Sollitt. However, Sollitt said he wouldn’t vote for any of his fellow candidates. “I wouldn’t vote,” he said to jeers from the audience of more than 400 students. “In the last provincial election, I’m being really honest here — what I usually do is research the leader, the party and the local candidate and try to find a combination I like … I couldn’t find that so I didn’t vote.” Sollitt said while it’s important to vote, you should vote for someone and/ or a party you believe in — noting one of the reasons he decided to run in this federal election was because he didn’t see a candidate he would support. Sollitt confirmed he would not cast a ballot in the upcoming election if he couldn’t vote for the Green Party. NDP candidate Gord Johns said he would do his research and “vote for the best candidate to defeat the Conserva-
tives,” however, he didn’t name a specific candidate or party. After the forum, Johns called Sollitt’s answer “pathetic. You’re telling all these students to get out and vote and then you say you wouldn’t even vote if you couldn’t vote for yourself?” said Johns. “That’s just pathetic.” Asked about their stance on a woman’s right to wear a niqab, or veil, that partially covers their face, Powell-Davidson said: “Every woman in Canada has the right to dress however they want to” drawing the biggest applause of the afternoon. Both Sollitt and Johns agreed, saying they support respect and diversity. Duncan agreed with the other candidates, but said the only exception is that no one should be wearing a head covering when entering the Canadian family. Read the full story online at www.pqbnews.com
RDN waives transit fees on election day CANdACE WU
news@pqbnews.com
The Regional District of Nanaimo board decided to waive transit fares in the name of democracy for election day at Tuesday night’s committee of the whole RDN meeting. “It’s a good gesture on our part to promote public transit and it’s good for us to get a better turnout (at the polls),
especially the young people and the elderly people who have trouble getting around,” said Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek. Regional District CAO Paul Thorkelsson said the cost associated with waiving public transportation fees is relatively low because many riders have pre-purchased transit cards. Thorkelsson said daily transit fees collected are approxi-
mately $5,000. While directors eventually agreed to offer free transportation all day to all riders, there was some debate about whether the free ride should be specifically to polling stations and whether or not people should need to show their voter ID to get the deal. Thorkelsson said to “slice” up routes based on where polling stations are located would make things too complicated.

Geoffrey Trimble is excited about the new challenges and duties of his new position after six years at the Parksville Thrifty Foods.
nAtionAL DisABiLity AWAreness eMpLoyMent Month
Geoffrey’s success story Duties continue to evolve after six years at Thrifty Foods in Parksville AUREN RUVINSKY writer@pqbnews.com
Advocates at Thrifty Foods in Parksville are highlighting October as National Disability Awareness Employment Month. “Recently manager Bill Rutledge came to the realization that Geoffrey’s duties were no longer commensurate with his abilities,” said Withanie Lemke as an advocate for her brother Geoffrey Trimble, who she describes as having autism but being very high functioning. “This is a success story because often employers have token positions for persons with disabilities,” she said, adding often, “these positions are not tailored to the individual’s actual skill set, and lead to frustration for everyone involved.” “Geoffrey started as a courtesy clerk, a position that no longer exists, bagging groceries and doing front end duties six years ago,” Rutledge said. “Recently he’s had some challenges with his mobility and stuff so we started reviewing his duties, we looked at ‘what do you like to do?’” It turned out Trimble had recently joined the Special Olympics, “just for the social aspects and to help the kids with bowling and swimming, help them improve their technique,” Trimble said, so he was looking to change his schedule. He was also happy to get away from park-
ing lot shopping cart duty, he now admits with some relief and good humour. “I also just like the change, sometimes you just have to change what you’re doing,” Trimble added. Trimble’s duties, now more focused in the grocery department, will also include working with and mentoring other youth and young adults with disabilities who work at the store through Ballenas Secondary School’s Life Skills and Compass Programs. “This transition was a great catalyst to get Geoffrey working with Karen,” Rutledge said of teacher Karen Little who brings the BSS students in a few hours a week for real world retail experience and a chance to work on basic social interaction and teamwork skills. Trimble already knows many of the students through community groups and things like the Special Olympics, he said, looking forward to new responsibilities as a mentor. “I think that the community involvement piece really helps our students and assists them in making the connections between the skills they learn at school and those that are needed in the real world,” BSS vice principal Jane Reynolds previously said. “We would love to see more of these types of partnerships that benefit the employer as well as the school, and most importantly, the students in our community,” she said. “Employers like (Rutledge) are setting an example of what could happen when managers take the time to listen, learn and adapt,” said Lemke, encouraging others to do the same.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 69 NEWS
Education agreement signed with First Nations The agreements represent a five-year vision of success for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students
Representatives from the Qualicum and Nanoose bands joined trustees and staff from the School District 69 and Ministry of Education staff recently to sign the school district’s third First Nations, Métis and Inuit Education Enhancement Agreement last week at the Forum at the Parksville Civic and Technology Centre. The audience at the Sept. 30 signing heard from Rosie McLeod-Shannon, District Principal of First Nations Education, that an Enhancement Agreement is a commitment made by the school district,
involving all First Nations communities and the Ministry of Education, to work together to improve the success of all Aboriginal students. The agreements are based on mutual respect and trust and represent a five-year vision of success for First Nations, Métis and Inuit students in the district. By signing this five-year agreement, the parties were agreeing to foster a learning environment where First Nations, Métis and Inuit students feel confident and proud of their ancestry and where all students are knowledgeable and respectful of First Nations, Métis and Inuit language, culture and history. Superintendent of Schools Rollie Koop spoke about the significance of the
day and of the historical backdrop of the Indian Residential School system and its impact on Canadian aboriginal culture. “Today is a day marked by mixed emotions,” said Koop. “As we gather to celebrate the signing of our third First Nations, Métis and Inuit Education Agreement, we do so on a day where we wear orange shirts in recognition of seven generations of Aboriginal children who were taken from their families and denied their culture, language and identity. I believe that Justice Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, hit the mark with his observation that because the education system was the primary tool of oppression wielded against Aboriginal people, ed-
ucation must play a key role in creating understanding and acceptance of Canada’s dark legacy of residential schools. “More importantly, our public education system must now create the conditions and provide learning opportunities that will allow all children and their families to be proud of their identity, language, culture and history.” The master of ceremonies for the event was Jesse Recalma, a Kwalikum Secondary School Graduate, who effortlessly blended traditional Hul’qumi’num language into the flow of the proceedings. Students from around the district spoke in glowing terms of their educational experience and shared their current career pathways. — NEWS Staff/ SD 69 news release

Heary said the dog has since underwent surgery for her untreated fractures, but there are still many unanswered questions. “Obviously something happened to her,” she said. “There’s the element of her being in pain and suffering but also being kept in the shed with cold cement floors, feces and urine everywhere, it was dirty and filthy with a sopping wet dog bed to lie in… some things are just inexplainable.” Heary said the dog has since been adopted out to “a loving family” in the mid-Vancouver Island region. “We appreciate that people phone us, otherwise we don’t know what is happening
in the backyards and basements of properties,” she said. “We depend on others to report animal neglect or cruelty when they see it.” To report an animal in distress including wildlife call the toll free Animal Cruelty Reporting Hotline at 1-855-622-7722.

t’s in your hands. Candidates from coast to coast to coast are in the home stretch of this federal election. In the riding that includes Parksville Qualicum Beach, the people who are carrying the four major-party standards (yes, the Greens have earned major party status, on the Island at least) are all community-minded people with good ideas about how we can make our region and country a better place. Any one of John Duncan (Conservatives), Gord Johns (NDP), Carrie-Powell Davidson (Liberals) and Glenn Sollitt would be a fine Member of Parliament. (An aside: a low priority job for whomever becomes our MP — change the name of the riding. There are more people in the Parksville Qualicum Beach region than either Courtenay or Port Alberni. Just saying.) In our parliamentary system (insert Churchill quote here), we don’t get to vote for prime minister. However, most federal elections seem centred around the party leaders, and this one has been no different. In fact, this focus on the leaders has been more intense this time than any in recent memory. When you cast your vote here Monday, these names will not appear on your ballot: Stephen Harper, Elizabeth May, Thomas Mulcair or Justin Trudeau. But their names, especially Mulcair’s, have been displayed prominently beside the local candidate signs around Parksville Qualicum Beach. Another difference this time around has been the nastiness aimed at the leaders, mostly Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He is not the first my-way-or-highway prime minister of this country, but we’re not sure the likes of John Diefenbaker or Pierre Trudeau were the targets of disrespectful derision to the level Harper has had tossed his way. Perhaps Pierre Trudeau in Alberta. A U.S.-based writer here covering the Olympics in Vancouver said Canadians are so nice, even their outof-service buses say sorry. That has not been the case during this election, even from the normally respectful letter-to-the-editor writers of Parksville Qualicum Beach. Sad, actually. We have presented dozens of stories quoting local candidates on the issues. We hope those stories helped you become a more informed voter. On Monday, it’s up to you.

minority Parliament I think that Canada’s needs would be best served with a minority parliament, of whatever constitution. All four main political parties have a critical role and a minority situation has the potential to provide better democracy in action, and to develop concessional maturity. In no particular order, I list here what I believe are some of the strengths of the parties, moderated from the extremes that quite occasionally are so bothersome. The Conservatives: principled and scrupulous attention to stability, order and to the objective critique of economic policies that are emerging in our changing and uncertain world, with engaged regard for security and stout defense of the essence of traditional values even as they modify in expression. The NDP: deep roots in the high progressive ideals of social democracy, diplomacy, and peaceful cooperation needed in a world of much selfishness, conflict and excess, and devoted to the principles of equality and fairness with oversight on the balance between sustainable development and the environment. The Liberals: the present incarnation brings fresh vision for Canada, new energy and vigour to help set the stage for re-investment, green tech and innovation more suited to the changing nature of the times, and holding values that are honest, practical and well-thought out. The Greens: offer keen-sighted and sound principles of economic growth combined with rightful resource stewardship so as to not further imperil the roots of life and ecology, trade-pact transparency and clear notions of truly democratic governance and social equality. With a working minority government we can benefit also from all four parties working on behalf of us, not only themselves, and there seems to be a momentum towards pro-

low income seniors As a low-income senior who cannot afford a hearing aid, I have received phone calls from all the major political parties, but I couldn’t hear them. Recently a live local gentleman (not a robo-caller) from the local NDP office called and asked if I had any questions. “Yes,” I said, “how can low-income seniors get a hearing aid without charge.” I was really pleased that he took the time to listen to me. He was the first one. And he said he would follow up, and he has. This is an important issue for many seniors. Seniors with poor hearing are sometimes lonely and isolated and they are at greater risk for depression and dementia. Our local NDP candidate’s office is trying hard to find more information for me. I feel strongly that every low-income senior should be supplied at no charge with a hearing aid. I’m grateful for free cataract surgery, but being able to hear is just as important. When casting your ballot, please remember the low-income seniors who are all too often ignored. Marion ChapMan Nanoose Bay
think hard & vote Not too long ago many Canadians were complaining about the lack of transparency and accountability of our Conservative government under Stephen Harper, promises on which this government was elected. We got the opposite, numerous scandals,
Senate cover-ups, horrible treatment of veterans, muzzling of scientists, lack of consultation and debate, with huge omnibus bills being passed covering a multitude of items with little time to address them. What was happening to our democracy? Halfway through the campaign things were not looking too good for Harper. The chips were down. The answer to this problem, introduce fear-mongering strategies and wedge issues, enter the wearing of the niqab, to take over the conversation and the past history is forgotten. We had been told that the economy was the main concern of voters in this election, but now the niqab is of equal or greater national concern. So what happened to the real problems we should be considering. For me, dealing with record temperatures, fires, floods, storms and changing climate causing so much hardship for our citizens; a little more important than the niqab I would suggest. I believe we need to address homelessness, food security, sustainability and health care. How sre we going to tackle emissions from fossil fuels? Also, the lack of clean water for aboriginal communities, affordable housing, poverty causing even many of our working people the need to use food banks. This in one of the richest countries in the world. All parties constantly talk about the middle-class, what about the marginalized? I don’t hear too much about refugees any more. How soon we forget the tears we shed when we looked at the body of that little Syrian child washed up on the shore. Think on these things before casting your vote. Can’t we do better than the last eight years? Tess CorMaCk Qualicum Beach See more LETTERS, pages A12, 13 & 15

First of all, some disclosure: I have been active in the Green Party since late 2006. Citizens in an election campaign can reasonably expect that the poll results they are looking at are current. They should ask why a political party would use data that is four years old. I received an election flyer in my mailbox from NDP candidate Gord Johns. A bar graph dominates one side. Most people looking at the flyer would think that the graph represents current polling. But in fact it is based on 2011 federal election results. Very small print discloses that the information is four years old. There is a reason for the use of four-year-old numbers. I am concerned that this behaviour serves to reinforce citizen skepticism about Canadian politics. Healthy democracy is dependent upon citizen participation which is in turn dependent upon the trustworthiness of politicians. Sandra Finley Qualicum Beach

Canada needs everyone to get out and vote this historic election. This year needs to be the election that puts Canada back on track to be the best country it can be and help us be the best citizens we can be. I am voting strategically because I feel we have reached a tipping point concerning Canadian values. Do we embrace our traditional values and prove to the world we are humanitarians at home and abroad? Do we demand social justice for all? Do we better look after our land, water and air? Do we stop muzzling scientists and start rebuilding our national archives and invest in education for all? We need change soon so that we can begin to heal the wounds created after a decade of rule by a divisive leader. Please everyone vote together for your Canada and encourage your family, friends, workmates and neighbours to do the same. We can do this! BarBara Murray Nanoose Bay

BarBaric pracTices A nasty turn in political campaigning emerged last week when the Conservative Party announced their plans for a Barbaric Cultural Practices tip line. My first reaction was disbelief. I believed one of the opposing political parties was trying to make the CPC look foolish. However, this was a legitimate announcement, a manoeuvre designed to influence the women’s vote. Truly, Conservative Party campaign tacticians have erred by inserting the

Why do I choose Stephen Harper? Over the years I have voted Conservative and Liberal, though never NDP. I feel this election is one of the most important in recent history. We are under a constant global threat from extremists, a competitive global market and here at home within our own families we are trying to get ahead; own homes, set aside retirement funds and care for our loved ones. As a mom, I want to see my children live prosperous, safe, and above all, happy lives. I watched the debates, like many. What I came away with was a sense that Harper cares about these things as well. He ensures that our armed forces are assisting those countries who need our help and will ensure extremists from other countries are deported. He is a much admired world leader. For families, Harper has balanced the budget, has promised no tax increases for four years and has introduced many new tax incentives designed to assist us in our retirement, buying or renovating a home and has provided new benefits to those with children and extended compassionate care. And finally, after a 10-year effort, a trade deal has been reached with 12 countries, which will not only help Canadian industry and business take advantage of the new marketplace but will provide us better selection and competition for our dollar. I think we have things pretty darned good here in Canada. But then, I am just a mom.

But, OK there is a bright side to the proposed “snitch line.” If you are becoming bored with the campaigns, get ready for some fun. There will be endless comical takes on barbaric practices, including a spoof on 22 Minutes. As divisive as this election is, there may be hope for some unity. We all love a good laugh.

democraTic signs On Oct. 8 while driving through Qualicum Beach, I passed a dozen or more Conservative signs vandalized and torn down. None of the other party signs were touched. What makes people think that vandalism and criminal behaviour is acceptable political expression? It does nothing for free speech or democracy. If the candidates they support think as they do, God help us if their party forms the next government. rOBert PriMeau Parksville
use your Brain Conformity in uniformity gives birth to uniforms. Then the uniformed, becomes the un-informed and the mis-informed. Ask the political candidates why they want to be politicians. If it is to be a politician, to be in charge, beware. Pollution of the environment is a result of polluted thinking and denial of the polluters’ true identity, or total lack of identity altogether. A person with a pure pristine, universally connected mind would find itself unable to pollute or destroy the environment or the life of any other being on the planet. We are in the net together and that’s the plan. Balance is required instead of polarized separation and chaos. We can use our B-Rains to nourish life with our brains, thoughts, words and deeds.

It’s No tIme for catastrophIc mIstake
In response to recent letters in the paper, I feel that as a 20-yearold Canadian I need to explain exactly why electing an NDP or Liberal government would be the most catastrophic mistake in Canadian history. Entering high school centre-left, I graduated centre-right. I came to leave behind my leftism and focus on what’s practical. The more you look at history, the more history proves that when business does better so does the common man. History also proves that NDP governments have failed every time at fiscal management and have created massive problems that the next fiscally responsible government winds up having to fix. They then suffer the brunt of the people’s anger for having to make the tough decisions to get the economy back on track. The Liberals have another problem, a man who has never held an executive office in his political party, who has only been a MP since 2008 and who was elected, in my opinion, solely on his surname. I don’t think there is a single person alive who doesn’t want to make the world a better place, but unfortunately the real world just doesn’t work the way that the NDP or the Liberals want it to. I understand people’s desire to better the world, but the fact is that bettering the world doesn’t mean we will ever have a utopian society. All it means is that we can solve problems little by little. I encourage everyone at the ballot box on Monday to seriously consider if they want higher taxes, fiscal mismanagement and pandering to special interest groups or responsibility and stability. The world is going through major economic and geo-political problems. The stability and security of Canada is in our hands.

Australian political scene. With Lyton Crosby steering Howard’s 2001 election campaign, the country became divided on sensitive issues of race, xenophobia, the terrorist threat and refugee migration. In a scandalous fabrication of disinformation, the Howard campaign falsely reported that refugees arriving in boats were holding their own children to ransom and throwing them overboard into the sea. A later senatorial inquiry found that this was a lie and no such incidents had ever occurred. Nonetheless, the inquiry was too little too late and Howard was elected for the first of two dismal terms, eventually becoming the most reviled prime minister in Australian history. I trust that Canadians will not fall into the same trap being set by Crosby as he now advises Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s campaign using the same tactics that Australians suffered 14 years ago. Beware of the wedge being driven into our society as this election comes to a head. The use of the wedge for the sake of getting elected is unique to the Conservative Party in Canada and indeed is a favoured approach by neo-liberal campaigns the world over. The tactic is an insult to our Canadian values of fairness, humanitarianism and helping the underdog. Canada’s population grew by about 9.5 million in the 30-year period between 1981 and 2011. With a negative natural replacement rate, much of the increase was due to Canada’s open door policy to migrants and refugees. Let’s keep that in mind as we head into this election. And mind the wedge. Rick WeLykochy Parksville

The second annual event raised $5,765 for Oceanside Haven Society, nearly doubling the total from the inaugural tourney in 2014. In all, Shoppers staff raised more than $18,000 for the Haven Society through its Help Us Grow Women’s Health promotion in 2015.

advance voting frustration
There was a big sign where one voted during the advance poll asking: how are we doing? Well, let me tell you how they are doing. I show up there, on a half rainyhalf cloudy day, at noon, as it says they are open at noon. I stood in line, outside in the West Coast drizzle, with all the other seniors, most who were in worse shape than me, for oneand-a-half hours. Now if you were ambivalent about whether you were going to vote, wouldn’t that be enough to convince you otherwise? No chairs, nowhere to sit, a lot leaning on their canes or walkers, unfortunately I didn’t have either, I just have a bad back and can’t stand for long. We were told we had to have two pieces of ID so we can vote, one with picture. So I had my passport, my Canadian passport and I had my B.C. Care card, which proves I am a senior and have access to medical care in Canada. I had my voters card, mailed to my address, with my name on it Sorry you can’t vote with this ID. Do you have a driver’s licence with you? No, I don’t and I can bet half of those people in line don’t even have a driver’s licence. Well then you have to have a picture B.C. ID, don’t you have a B.C. Hydro bill or something with you. No, I don’t. Well is there anyone here that can sign an oath that you live at that address? No, there isn’t. My passport name and the name on my voter card prove I live at that address and my passport proves I am who I say I am. End of story — I had to go without voting. I had been to the doctor and then to the pharmacy and said I would just pop down to vote while they were filling my prescription, so by the time I walked down to vote, then walked back and had stood in line for an hour and a half and it was now almost 2 p.m., I just went home exhausted and furious. I was made to feel like a crim-
NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING Application No. PL2015-095 Beachcomber Marina Electoral Area ‘E’
inal. I am 70 years old and a Canadian citizen, as my passport indicates. I am on their voter’s list, on their sheets where they check you off. What could I possibly be trying to do? Vote in the wrong riding? Well, regardless, I am only going to get one vote and when they checked their lists, I was there for that riding. No wonder so many people don’t vote. Elections Canada, you should be ashamed.
What a fiasco the advance poll was in Qualicum Beach. A friend was driven there with other seniors only to find a two-hour wait. They left. I went at 5:30 p.m. to find a wait of 90 minutes. It was Thanksgiving weekend and a lot of us had plans so we wanted to vote the first day. There were two tables, one with three staff and one with two staff divided by the numbers on the voting cards. One staff took your card and picture ID with your address on it and moved you to the third staff. She had a computer printout with names and addresses which she then held a ruler under your name and then wrote your name and address by hand. They have this information on two printed forms, plus your ID and they are handwriting it. This is 2015 and they had four years to prepare. I have been voting since the early 1960s and cannot remember such a disaster. When I suggested that to the one in charge she blamed us for wanting to vote in the advance poll. I’m very concerned that the people who left will not return and vote. This is not something that can be redone in this election. It is a very serious matter. Peggy Bodnar Qualicum Beach

faith column
Use your map A question I often hear from friends and family is: “how do I decide on a worldview or religion?” What an important question. In some ways, your life journey is like a road trip across Canada, in which you intend to sightsee and also meet up with friends and family along the way. In planning this trip, you will have many decisions to make, but some are more essential than others. Some people put “what religion should I choose?” on the level of “what music should I listen to on my trip?” Yes, the right choice of music can certainly increase the enjoyment of your trip, but is it the driving force behind it? I propose that religion is much more than the soundtrack for your trip: it is the By Hannah Dutko map by which you plan the entire journey. The question “what map should I use?” will affect whether you run out of gas, whether you end up in a dangerous situation, or whether you arrive at your intended destination. Every religion is meant to be a map to help you navigate life, but not all maps are equal. Some religions are more helpful to your life than others, and some are even detrimental. It is wise to do some research. When examining a religion, you can read its foundational texts. You can spend time with a community that practices it. You can see how its tenets match up with your life experiences. Then, when you realize something is the best map you have found, even if it is not absolutely flawless, trust it. Rely on it to navigate your life. And do not discard it unless you find something that more accurately makes sense of life... Of its ups and downs, problems and solutions. Choosing a map does not mean that we do not respect others’ different choices. But we are responsible to ourselves and those around us to do our best to live intentionally and not haphazardly. It is not fair to send children on their own road trip with a completely blank map. Certainly parents should be open to the possibility that our children will, for their own journey, modify what we have given them. But we should not send them off empty handed. If, as it seems, there is a best map for your journey, it is in your interest to find it and use it. This is not a peripheral decision but the decision that affects all the other decisions in your life. — Hannah Dutko is a pastor at Oceanside Community Church in Parksville.

MINDS IN MOTION
Non-profit needs some volunteers Fitness and social programs help residents Looking to make a difference in your community? The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. needs several volunteers in Parksville Qualicum for the fall session of its Minds in Motion program. The fitness and social program helps area residents who have early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. Participants can enjoy a weekly morning or afternoon session with a friend, family member or care partner. “It’s very rewarding work,” said Shanan St. Louis, the Society’s Minds in Motion coordinator for the Central and North Island. “You’re enriching the lives of others.” A certified fitness instructor conducts the fitness portion of the program. A facilitator ensures participants are involved in activities such as billiards, Wii and ping pong, or just enjoying social time and light refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition to helping others, volunteers have the opportunity to spend rewarding one-to-one time with participants and see
first-hand how people’s lives are enriched by this program. Some experience working with older adults and basic knowledge of, or experience with, dementia would also be helpful. Minds in Motion takes place Friday, Oct. 30 through Dec. 11 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Parksville Community Centre’s Red Cedars Room, 132 Jensen Avenue East. For information on volunteering, contact Shanan St. Louis at the Alzheimer Resource Centre tollfree at 1-800-462-2833 or sstlouis@ alzheimerbc.org. To register as a participant in Minds in Motion call 250-2483252. Minds in Motion is offered in partnership by the Seniors at Risk Integrated Health Network and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. It is funded through the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s Continuing Care Services, and the B.C. Ministry of Health Services. Residents can get more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias by visiting www.alzheimerbc.org. — Submitted by the Alzheimer Society of B.C.

Multiple sclerosis
Get MS help by phone 600 Island patients now have access to TeleMS Of the Vancouver Island MS Clinic’s 1,800 patients, close to 600 need to travel long distances to their Victoria-area appointments. Island Health’s (IH) new TeleMS program addresses this barrier by increasing convenience for patients and reducing travel-related aggravation of multiple sclerosis symptoms. “Dealing with the uncertainty of MS is one thing, but also having to manage the flare up of symptoms while seeking care is entirely another,� said Parksville-Qualicum MLA Michelle Stilwell. “I’m proud that we are able to make a difference in the lives of those with MS by offering improved access to care through telehealth.� Primary symptoms of MS include debilitating fatigue, neuropathic pain, reduced mobility and difficulty with balance. Often, people with MS need a day or two to recover from travel for medical appointments. “TeleMS is a unique approach to care that is geared toward patients’ needs,� explained Parksville-based MS nurse clinician Amber Holden. “Thanks to this technology we can provide neurologist appointments that are closer to home and physically easier for our patients.� With TeleMS, patients from

the mid-to-north Island can meet with a Victoria-based neurologist through telehealth technology located in Parksville. A nurse clinician stays with the patient throughout the appointment and helps to create a multi-allied foundation of support for mid-Island patients. Over 130 MS patients have used the system since its launch in December, 2014. Of those patients, 100 per cent were satisfied with the TeleMS visit, and 100 per cent said they would use TeleMS again. “They feel the support and are glad to have this as an option,� Holden said. In addition to minimizing fatigue and financial burden for MS patients, TeleMS has a positive environmental impact. To date, the program has saved patients and their families $5,089 in gas costs, 25,813 km of travel and 341 hours of travel time. TeleMS has also saved 7,104 kg of CO2 emissions. Funding for TeleMS was provided by the Specialist Services Committee, a joint collaborative committee of Doctors of B.C. and the B.C. Ministry of Health. Island Health’s Vancouver Island MS Clinic and the telehealth department collaborated to design and implement the program. — Submitted by Island Health

Stay healthy After our wonderful, but dry summer, we at the Centre have enjoyed welcoming some new members and reviewing our activities to ensure that we do cover the various interests. One new group will be for Canasta players. Our annual beach picnic had to be held indoors this year but the rain did not dampen our spirits and sing-a-longs as we really needed the rain. On Sept. 20 we waved goodbye and were a trifle envious as a group of pure hardy mariners set sail for Hawaii. An open house held on Sept. 26 gave us an opportunity to show off the Centre and display our programs and friendly atmosphere. In October we had a big garage sale on the 3rd. Later in the month on the 20th we hold our Annual General Meeting (at the Civic Centre). On the 24th the Echo Players will By roy Jones present their One Act Play and on the 30th we’ll have the annual Halloween Variety Show. As we continue to look at the reality of life as a senior, one dominant factor stands out; and that is the need for good medical care. This is most evident during our daily get togethers for coffee and lunch, plus it’s a topic of many news items and Letters to the Editor. Other instances involve the problem of the lack of a GP and having to visit the Health Care Centre clinic, where travel and wait times can be added problems. Moving from one area and not being able to be accepted by a local doctor is another dilemma. A concern raised recently by the B.C. Seniors Advocate is the cost of “extras” for low-income seniors. Theses items may include eye glasses, dental care, or walkers and wheelchairs. So, who do they turn to? As a general comment, we can note the recent statistic on the numbers of doctors now graduating who are not planning to become GP’s. Also noted some older doctors would like to cut back or retire, but cannot find a replacement. The pressure on governments to provide more services, cut down wait times, etc. seems to be a constant. So, can we ask, are there any larger issues which may affect health services and the funding required? Well perhaps, there is a large one and that is the growing number of seniors in relation to the rest of the population. Yes, our numbers are growing. Various demographic reports indicate that in the 1950’s the ratio was one senior to 8 others. Recent figures suggest 1:5 depending on the area. A quote from our B.C. Seniors Advocate gave approximately 1:6 for the situation here. Another factor could be the falling birth rate in the Western world. Will this lead to a shortage of workers who will pay taxes and maintain pension plans? Can present problems such as refugees and immigration somehow affect and sway matters in a different direction? ... So many “ifs” and “buts”. Well, this article that started out on health services has became a bit complex. What can we do but keep as healthy as we can and take care of each other. — Roy Jones is a member of the Qualicum Beach Seniors’ Activities Centre located at 703 Memorial Ave. Open 9:00 am – 3:30 pm Monday – Friday.

The Oceanside Pickleball Club completed a very successful 2015 outdoor season with a tournament and a year-end party on Sept. 25. There tournament featured a recreational side with 24 teams and a competitive side with 22 teams. As with all the club’s tournaments this year there was “constructive criticism” from the sidelines and lots of friendship and laughter. The start was delayed somewhat as players had to wait for the courts to dry completely (safety first!) but soon they were up and running and the shots were coming fast and furious. Club membership topped out this year at 156 players as OPC continues to introduce new people to the fast-growing sport. Several members of the club spent time promoting the game at every opportunity and, for those whose interest was piqued, there were free learn-to-play lessons

‘Heart-centric’ tattoo artist
Cancer survivors pretty in P.Ink Errington’s Samantha Rae creates designs for women scarred by mastectomies J.R. RaRdon reporter@pqbnews.com
At the home studio of Errington tattoo artist Samantha “Sam” Rae last Saturday, a plump bumblebee hovered silently over a vibrant daisy set in a wash of background colour. Then Tracy Young closed the shawl covering her reconstructed chest and the view disappeared. Young, a 52-year-old breast cancer survivor from Victoria, traveled to Errington last weekend to take part in the third annual P.Ink (Personal Ink) Day, a program that links patients of mastectomies with qualified tattoo artists to turn ravaged flesh into works of art. Costs are largely covered through donations gathered by the parent Personal Ink organization through its website at pink.org. “I wanted to be part of a network of amazing artists who come from a heart-centric place to help the healing process for breast cancer survivors,” said Rae, who inked Young’s chest at her Sam R Tattoo Studio while
J.r. rardon pHoto
tattoo artist samantha rae left, transformed breast cancer survivor tracy Young of victoria with a mastectomy tattoo in rae’s errington home studio on p.ink day last saturday.
participating in P.Ink Day for the second time. P.Ink Day began in 2013 with 10 artists in New York City matched with 10 mastectomy patients. It has grown to 45 artists in 13 North American loca-
tions enlisted to ink mastectomy tattoos on 48 survivors this year. Rae, 34, has one of just two registered P.Ink Day sites in Canada, which is technically listed as Vancouver. The other is in Calgary, where Rae’s mentor, Stacie-
Rae Weir of Calgary, works. Weir is a breast cancer survivor who now serves as an artist advisor for the organization. “I didn’t know about it until I worked with (Weir),” Rae said. “I started working with her three
years ago, right when this was on the upswing.” The organization has grown slowly, and that is by design, said Rae. Each artist must serve an apprenticeship before being certified as a P.Ink Day artist. “I’m suited to apply my method to sensitive skin,” Rae said. “And I can certainly apply that sensitivity to this work.” The day was documented in Rae’s studio by a photographer, a videographer and a social media coordinator who uploaded images to Personal Ink’s website, Pinterest and Facebook pages. Terri Welsh of Courtenay, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2013 and who underwent a mastectomy in November of that year, served as the social media coordinator. Just like the artists, mastectomy patients must apply in advance to receive a P.Ink Day tattoo, and Welsh hopes to be Rae’s subject in next year’s event. “It’s a process,” said Welsh. “I was seeking something creative for myself after my own mastectomy. It was too late for me to apply for this year, but I wanted to come and be involved. I hadn’t made a decision on what to do, but today, after seeing Tracy, I made the decision,” Welsh added as she broke into tears. See ArtiSt, page A30

reconstructed breasts. “I wanted something organic, something gentle and soft,” said Young. “The daisy, to me, is a super strong and resilient, yet gentle flower. I view the daisies as my family and friends. “The bee is an amazing creature who can do so much they aren’t supposed to do — they aren’t supposed to be able to fly, but they do — and they bring us life. The bee is the person I want to be.” P.Ink Day — which actually is held over the entire second weekend of October — matches a single artist with a single survivor at each location. But mastectomy patients may sign up for tattoos the rest of the year at p-ink.org, where donors may also contribute to help fund the program.

Young also said she was sold on the tattoo — her first — after meeting with Rae for a consultation last spring. The Victoria wife and mother was diagnosed five years ago and underwent a double mastectomy and chemotherapy sessions before being declared cancer-free, she said. “I started thinking about (a tattoo) about two years ago, and a year ago I started seriously looking for a tattoo artist who would work with mastectomy victims,” said Young. “When I came and saw Sam, I knew she was the exact right person.” During their first meeting in April, the women discussed Young’s design, the flower-andbee motif that covers both of her
and silent auction of exotic wares and jewellery, and a no-host bar. Child Haven International is a Canadian charity, started in 1985 by Fred and Bonnie Cappuccino of Ontario, that provides homes to destitute children in India, Nepal, Tibet and Bangladesh and nurtures these children into becoming functioning members of
their communities. Every year from Victoria to Halifax, hundreds of volunteers put on fundraisers like this one to raise money for Child Haven’s ‘kids’. Many eventually become interns and travel to the homes. Support this amazing humanitarian organization and meet Fred and Bonnie Cappuccino at tomorrow’s dinner. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.;

KwaliKum & Ballenas soccer
KSS beats BSS in annual battle Qualicum Beach wins very tough crosstown rivalry match against Parksville T yson Taylor
close game though, which we were a little surprised with but then again, these games with Ballenas are always tough no matter what and they played a real tough game against us.” Coming off a first place finish at the Carihi Invitational tournament, the Kondors were feeling good heading in to action on Tuesday afternoon against the Whalers, perhaps a little too much. “I think we were feeling a little overconfident for sure,” Trozzo said. “Anytime you can win a tournament, that’s a big boost to your confidence as individuals and as a team.” “We knew it was going to be a battle against Ballenas but we also were feeling pretty good about how we’ve been playing as of late too, so I think this was a game that we needed to have, one that had us down and made us dig deep to see what we are made of as a team. They put us to the test and I’m happy we came away with the win.” Next up for the Kondors is a game against Dover Bay, this afternoon at the Qualicum Beach Rec. Field, 3:30 p.m. kickoff. They will look to make it four straight league wins in a row but it won’t come easy. “Dover is going to be tough too,” Trozzo said. “We know what it takes to play in a tough, close game after this one against Ballenas, so hopefully we’ll be able to learn from that and come in to this one looking a little better.”
sports@pqbnews.com
The sun came out for the annual Kwalikum Kondors and Ballenas Whalers derby at the Qualicum Beach Rec Field, with the two teams battling hard in a game that the Kondors took 2-1. Surprising everyone, including themselves, the Whalers jumped out to a 1-0 lead thanks to a miscue by the Kondors at the back end, allowing Simon Morrison to move in and put one past Kondor keeper Nolin Fong. With their backs against the wall, KSS came back to tie the game on a Tony Trozzo header, beating Whalers keeper Aaron Paetkau to make it 1-1. The Kondors would make it 2-1 on a goal from Daniel Doukakis, who made a run down field and fired one in to the back of the net, putting the Kondors up on their way to the win. “It was a really close game,” Paetkau said following the game. “I thought our team played well. Everybody was counting us out from the beginning and I think that we surprised ourselves quite a bit with this game, especially when we took the early lead. It was a good team effort all around and it’s definitely one of those games that we can build on going forward.” The Kondors, caught off guard from being down 1-0 early on, were able to keep it together and bring home another victory, their third in a row in league play.

The Kwalikum Kondors and Ballenas Whalers battled it out on Tuesday afternoon in the crosstown derby match. In the end, the Kondors battled back to edge out the Whalers 2-1

Ten games in, the Generals have two victories T yson Taylor sports@pqbnews.com
After losing back-to-back games to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings last week, the SaveOn-Foods Oceanside Generals are looking to get back in the win column this weekend against the Nanaimo Buccaneers. Last night ,the Generals were in Victoria to take on the Westshore Wolves (score not available at press time). The Gens
lost both games in a home and home with the Glacier Kings last weekend, with the game on Saturday much closer than the Friday-night blowout. They have another chance Saturday at home against the Buccaneers (7:30 p.m. at Oceanside Place). Even though the Generals lost last Saturday night at home 3-2, it could have gone either way.
“I liked it, I liked the way we played Saturday night,” head coach Brad Knight said. “When you lose in a blowout, it’s not fun for anyone. But in a hard-fought game like this one, where there were chances on both sides and both teams battled hard, this is a game that I’d take over a blowout any night of the week. We worked hard, had some good scoring chances and it was close, it was a positive sign for
us as a team after getting beat by four goals the night before.” Ten games into the season the Gens have two wins, seven losses and a tie. Though the record says one thing, the effort on the ice is what Knight is watching. “It’s coming along,” Knight said. “As a team, we’re heading in the right direction. At the 10game mark, I like where we’re at and I like where we’re headed.
I’m all about commitment and character, team first guys, we’ve had ten games to look at this roster and we’re going to make some tough decisions that people are going to be surprised by.” “If you want to survive, you’ve got to cull the weak and these are the kind of decisions that we as an organization need to start making to get to where we want to be.” See OceanSide, page A35

Oceanside Generals’ young players are getting a lot of important time on the ice continued from Page a34
One of those decisions saw goaltender Matt Henwood getting his first career start in the VIJHL at home on Saturday night. Henwood, a 16-year-old from Comox, showed well in his debut, giving up three goals on 25 shots while making some key saves. “We saw lots of young players in our lineup last weekend,” Knight said. “Henwood getting the start, as a 16-year-old, he played pretty well for his first game starting in net. We had three 16 year olds and two 17 year olds in our lineup over the weekend; they all played well and handled themselves well. I’m more than confident with what we’re going to move forward with.” “Yes, winning and losing makes a difference but we need to have our focus on making the playoffs, from here on out. Winning in any sport is tough, it’s not something you change overnight but at the end of the day, we need to just be ready for the playoffs.” “We need to win enough games here in the regular season to make the playoffs, plain and simple. We’ll make a couple decisions this week on the roster and get on with it.”

The Ballenas Whalers senior football team lost a tough game to the Windsor Dukes last week but that wasn’t the only thing that was lost before the final whistle. It was a close battle, with the Dukes winning 33-20 in a game that saw Ballenas within a touchdown of a tie. Already without starting running back Matt Price, who went down with a knee injury two weeks ago, the Whalers suffered a few more injuries as starting

quarterback Garrin McDonnell went down with an ankle injury, and starting offensive and defensive lineman Steve Martin suffered a knee injury. One more injury took place during practice this week, as defensive starter Sam Paquette suffered a broken wrist, putting him out of action as well. “It’s been a bad week in terms of injuries,” head coach Dan Smith said. “Being a part of the Whaler football program for the last 15 years, I haven’t seen a roster suffer this much from injuries at one time. We’re missing five seniors
with long-term injuries right now and that’s a big blow to our team. But these kids aren’t getting down on themselves, in fact they’re all doing the best that they can to step up and fill those holes that we’re missing right now.” On the positive side, senior Sebastian Howard is close to coming back from a knee injury. He is close but most likely won’t be back in time for the Whalers game against the Carson Graham Eagles at home this Saturday, 2 p.m. kickoff at Ballenas Secondary School.

number of operating factors. While I prefer a shift lever of some type, the pushbutton transmission selector on the dash does give the MKX interior a sleek, uncluttered appearance. The selector connects to six-speed automatic transmission (both engines) and shifts can also be made via paddles on the steering wheel. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6). Clever, under-console storage has also been created and super comfy 22-way adjustable front seats are a new option. These seats come with an active motion massage feature for the upper legs and lower back via six adjustable air bladders. They also come with fourway power head restraints and power thigh extenders. If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a couple of new technology solutions. An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist. Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. A new pre-collision assist system helps avoid or lessen the severity of frontal impacts with another vehicle, or a pedestrian.

Tips when driving in Great apps rainy conditions drivers can use
Rainy weather can arrive any time of year. While an afternoon spent indoors watching the drops fall can be relaxing, driving in the rain is anything but. It requires extra concentration and improved reaction time. Rainy conditions can be challenging and treacherous, and drivers should proceed with caution on rain-slicked roads. Rain is blamed for many accidents, but many of these situations are largely preventable among drivers who adapt to the weather and roadway conditions. Here are some things to consider. * Reduced visibility occurs from wiper blades, glare (particularly at night) and heavy downpours. When you are unable to see the road ahead, including other vehicles, reduce your speed. If the rain is coming down in torrents, pull over to the side of the road and wait for a respite. Turn on your lights to ensure you are visible to other cars on the road. * Recognize that rain can cause slick conditions. A film of water develops on the roadways, and that can affect the performance of your vehicle’s tires. Less traction means the car can slip and slide. Hydroplaning, or coasting on the surface of the water, is common. Another, lesser-known condition is slickness caused by grease and oil in the asphalt. During a
0% 84
long dry spell, these substances build up on the roads. When it rains, the oil and water doesn’t mix, bringing the oils to the surface and exacerbating slick conditions. The first few hours of a rainstorm can be quite dangerous until heavier rains wash the oils away. * Water spraying up onto tires and brakes can compromise braking ability. That means it could take longer to stop under wet conditions. Do not tailgate and leave extra room between vehicles. If you drive through a puddle of water, pump the brakes and test them out to be sure you can stop. Brake earlier so that other drivers understand your intentions and can react accordingly. * Avoid extremely large puddles. First of all, you cannot judge the depth of the puddle and you may end up getting stuck, especially in the event of roadway flooding. Water splashing into the engine compartment may damage electrical components. Steer around puddles to be on the safe side. * Use extra care watching out for pedestrians. A normally observant person may be distracted by the rain, puddles and wrangling an umbrella and veer into the path of cars. Be mindful of the side of the roads and where pedestrians may be, such as around parked cars. * Change wiper blades twice per year. You do not want to be caught with shoddy wiper blades in poor conditions. Without an effective wiper blade, rain cannot be cleared effectively from the windshield. * Limit distractions inside of the car to focus even more of your attention on the road. While some have become accustomed to answering phone calls or fielding questions from the backseat while driving, avoid such distractions when driving in the rain. Turn down the radio if you must and encourage passengers to remain quiet until safely home. * Leave extra time to get to your destination. Rain causes slowing down of traffic. Rushing may increase your risk of being in an accident, so always leave extra travel time when driving in wet conditions. Driving in the rain requires drivers to exercise caution. Making a few adjustments improves safety on the roadways.

Smartphones are a convenient tool that few people can now imagine living without. Smartphone-toting moms and dads know they always have a camera on hand to take quick snaps of their youngsters, while foodies rely on their smartphones to find nearby restaurants or read reviews of eateries while out on the town. But drivers also can benefit from smartphones thanks to the following apps. • Waze: Commuters who download Waze to their smartphones may wonder how they ever navigated their daily treks to the office without this useful app, which allows drivers to share real-time traffic and road information with their fellow motorists. Drivers can use Waze to save time and gas money and make their commutes less stressful. Drivers who use Waze can actively report accidents and find the least expensive gas prices posted by fellow drivers in their community. • GasBuddy: While fuel prices dipped in late 2014 and stayed low into 2015, today’s drivers are still conditioned to find the most affordable gas prices around. The GasBuddy app makes it easy to do just that, as users can share gas prices in their community, which fellow drivers can then peruse to find the most affordable filling stations along their driving routes. Drivers can even enter their city, ZIP code or postal code to find the cheapest gas in their vicinity. • AAA Mobile: AAA members can use the AAA Mobile app to access AAA services on their smartphones. Such services include trip planning, member discounts and roadside assistance. The app also includes a mobile version of the motor club’s popular TripTikŽ Travel Planner, which makes it easy for smartphone users to find club-approved hotels, restaurants and attractions. Drivers can even create and share trip itineraries between their desktop and mobile devices. • Insurance: Nearly every auto insurance provider now offers its own mobile app to policy holders. Such apps may allow drivers to pay their bills, view their insurance identification cards, peruse their policies, arrange for roadside assistance and report claims among other things. These apps put your auto insurance provider at your fingertips and can make it much easier to manage your policy.

Your vehicle may offer insight on your personality Though books should never be judged by their covers, very often individuals judge others by the clothes they wear, the home they live in and even the car they drive. It can be interesting to examine what a particular car says about the person behind the wheel. More than 200 million drivers are licensed in the United States and Canada, and these drivers choose their vehicles for a variety of reasons. Some choose vehicles because of their utility, while others select a particular car or truck because of the message it conveys. Very often drivers will idealize their vehicles, lending them human quali-

ties or naming them as if they were a friend. Sometimes owners will seek attributes in a vehicle that mirror their own self-image. “A car says a lot about a person,” says Dr. Charles Kenny, a consumer psychologist who studies car buyers and their needs. It’s a reflection of who you are.” Although there are some stereotypes attached to owning certain vehicles, some truths lie beyond the jokes and banter. Sports car owners can be flashy and crave attention. They may want to live on the edge with high speed or know their sleek rides will impress others on the road. High-end roadsters may make a statement about financial status as well, as such cars are often among the most expensive vehicles on the road. Sedan owners may be especially practical people, as sedans are large enough to fit a number of passengers, but they’re also affordable and tend to boast good fuel economy. Drivers of compacts and economy cars could fall into two categories. There are those who are just starting out financially and may not be able to afford a larger vehicle, while others choose economy cars, particularly hybrids and electric subcompacts, because such vehicles tend to be more eco-friendly. Sport-utility vehicles premiered as vehicles designed for sporting and
off-roading. Not too long ago it was rare to see too many trucks on the roadways. Now you’d be hard-pressed to find roadways that aren’t flooded with SUVs. Functionality is the backbone of trucks. Truck owners generally have driven pickups most of their lives and tend to live in more rural areas. Some will outfit their trucks with larger tires and lift kits, and these drivers could be looking for power and attention on the road. Luxury vehicles are largely driven by white collar professionals who have the cash to afford vehicles with all the bells and whistles. Luxury cars turn heads and can be status symbols. However, some luxury cars have become more attainable for those who purchase preowned or lease, making it difficult to tell who might be behind the wheel. It’s not just the make or model of a car that can say a lot about its driver. Vehicle color also says a lot. For example, silver hints at a prestigious or elegant person. White cars are for those who like things clean and enjoy pristine surroundings. Red cars indicate flashy people who are willing to take risks, while orange cars are driven by those who are artistic and daring. Browns and beiges can indicate drivers who are down to earth and natural. A vehicle can say many things about a driver before he or she even speaks a word.
