Public demands higher distracted driving fines

Hope Rotarian’s John Fortoloczky (centre,) Ralph Cummings and Bob Melnick recently rolled up their sleeves to remove old concrete tables and place a freshly lacquered one in Centennial Park. A special thanks goes out to Hilbert Corbett for his direct support with the new bench and the rest of the Rotary crew that assisted with the heroic task.

A NEW BENCH HAS ARRIVED COURTESY OF THE ROTARIANSPHOTO BY TERRY CHOLOWSKY

Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast major-ity of B.C. residents who have responded want fi nes increased. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. govern-ment's consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while they're behind the wheel. Th e issue now is how high the fi nes should go.

"British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat off enders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business," Anton said Tuesday. "We need to stop that."B.C.'s

fi ne is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn't intend to follow Ontario's lead and put the fi ne up to $1,000 for repeat off end-

ers, but an increase will be coming within a year.Comments on the website www.gov.bc.ca/dis-tracteddriving continue to debate the merits ofseizing cellphones from drivers, but Anton reit-erated that option is not being considered.

Suspending licences or impounding vehiclesof repeat off enders is on the table, however.

Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for aweek if the driver gets two distracted drivingtickets less than a year apart. Th e consultationcontinues until July 16. Participants are askedto reply to nine questions. Th e crowd-sourcingexercise has its weaknesses. Only fi ve per cent ofrespondents have come from the B.C. Interior,

and Anton said younger people are also under-represented.Th e province attributes 88 deaths todistracted driving last year, second to speedingand ahead of impaired driving.

Daniel De Serranno wins best director for an animated program or series

Hope resident wins LeoNews

Erin KnutsonHope Standard

Local animator and cur-rent winner of the prestigious 2015 Leo Award for Best Di-rection in an animated pro-gram or series, Daniel De Ser-ranno was humble, gracious and kind as he spoke about his journey to Hope.

“I got stuck here, which is funny,” 47-year-old De Ser-ranno told Th e Hope Standard.

Th e Southern Ontario na-tive was living in Toronto and working in the fashion district when he went to visit a friend in Vancouver, upon his em-ployer advising him to come back in a few weeks (as there was no work at the time) — so being a typical Canadian, he jumped on a Greyhound bus.

Aft er arriving in Vancou-ver, a cheque he was expecting from his employer bounced, leaving him without funds and in need of a job.

De Serranno found work as an animator with various companies in places like Port Coquitlam as a freelancer, be-fore scoring a coveted position at Nerd Corps Entertainment/DHX Media in Vancouver and never returned to Ontario.

“From there, I just did the work over the years — I’ve worked in Toronto, and I worked in Asia on and off for over ten years, as well as Chi-na — that was pretty cool.”

Fostering a lifelong love of drawing he attended the famous Sheridan College for animation and cultivated his talent. De Serranno has been in the industry since 1991 and has watched it change dramatically over the years with the ad-vent of digital technology.

“Animation is intensive, there is hardly any drawing anymore, it’s all switched to computers. Teams of people do the animation — I’ve got 20 to 30 animators, and I instant message them all day long and its weird to talk to them,” said De Ser-ranno of the oddity of an actual face-to-face con-versation in his line of work, which is overseeing the entire show. As a Vancouver commuter the di-rector spends weekends in Hope with his partner and wife Lily and their two boys aged eight and

ten. Th e self admitted guy “who’s always doingart,” loves the community and the quiet of Hope incomparison to the intensity of the big city.

Th e creative couple also wrote a children’s booktogether called Scare Me Beware and they own theoutdoor sporting goods shop Hope Outdoors.

De Seranno is currently directing world class tele-vision animation. “I’m working on Slugterra— Re-turn of the Elementals (for boys,) it was for DisneyHD originally but now it’s kind of spreading all overthe world and it’s getting pretty popular,” he said.“I’ve also worked on Kate and Mim Mim which isin 88 countries.”

These reactions affect heart

Congratulations! Just a reminder

to keep the child on his back in the

crib, don’t use blankets and pillows

and dress the baby in a one-piece

sleeper. Also keep soft toys and

other objects out of the sleep area

and don’t let anyone smoke around

the baby. New babies should

sleep in an area near where the

parents sleep but NOT with the

parents. All these suggestions

will minimize SIDS (Sudden Infant

Death Syndrome).

Even though electronic cigarettes

are not legal for sale in Canada,

some people still use them. One

of the problems with these devices

is that there is no regulations about

what they contain besides the liquid

nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively

new so there is a lack of long-

term scienti c evidence to support their safety. There still is concern that their use will lead to nicotine addiction.

Sometime, people who are hard of hearing don’t let on this is so. We want to know about it.

Yale and District Historical Society’s Fraser Canyon Barrel Races know no fear as they traverse the rapids

Barrel races finish strongNews

Deb ZerviniYale Historic Site Manager

Race weekend started out in Memo-rial Park on Saturday, June 21st with our Best Bedecked Barrel Bash.

The public voted on barrels in four different categories: Most Likely to Suc-ceed was won by Tri-West Contracting, Least Likely to Suc-ceed was won by Mo-bil 1, Crowd Pleaser was won by Boston Bar Service and the coveted Best Dressed went to Hope Brew-ing. On Sunday morning, after a deli-cious pancake break-fast held at the Ward Tea House in Yale, barrel participants made their way to Hell’s Gate Airtram for the Bobbing Bar-rel Blast where in three separate heats, barrels were tossed off the observation bridge into the river to begin their race to Yale.

After a race that broke records for the longest time down the river, only two of the 38 barrels in the race made it past Lady Franklin Rock and onto the finish line.

First place, finally went to Canyon Cable and second place was won by All Hallows Park Association. Third prize was determined by drawing all the re-maining entrants names out of a hat and was won by Hope Towing.

A special draw was made for the early birds that made it out to the pan-cake breakfast and Buy and Save was the lucky winner. The day concluded

back at the Yale Historic Site with the Big Barrel Barbecue which included the delectable ‘sizzle your own steaks’ and sides provided by Muriel Young of Rol-ly’s Restaurant.

The Yale and District Historical Soci-ety would like to send a huge thank you out to all the businesses and individu-als that came out and supported us and those that donated prizes for the Barrel Bash. Thanks to Hell’s Gate Airtram for hosting the Bobbing Barrel Blast, Hope Search and Rescue for spending the afternoon waiting on the barrels and chasing down the couple that made it to

the finish line, Fraser River Raft Expedi-tions for going out on Sunday evening to rescue the remainder of the stranded barrels (some may even still be stuck in the back eddy at Hell’s Gate), Muriel Young and Rolly's Restaurant for pro-viding the yummy salads and baked po-tatoes, Dave at Coopers Foods for get-ting the steaks, Hank and Erica Press for all your help and support and our vol-unteers and staff — because we couldn't do it without you.

Funds raised each year from the bar-rel races go towards our school pro-gramming and Hope Search and Rescue.

Yale and District Historical Society’s Fraser Canyon Barrel Races make a splash as they were tossed off the observation bridge at Hell’s Gate Airtram. All proceeds from participating sponsors were donated to Hope Search and Rescue.

Literacy empowermentCommunity

Story contributed by Read Right Society

StoryARTS is Read Right Society’s new summer storytelling program that encourages learners and the greater community to engage the world of information and ideas, coura-geously and creatively.

“Listening to and telling tales hones our lit-eracy and imaginative skills. Th rough the art of storytelling, we improve our ability to listen, speak, imagine, connect thought and create,” said Shayna Jones, storyteller.

Literacy empowers us. Literacy gives us the tools we need to engage our community and the world at large with our eyes wide open. Reading, writing and numeracy skills are essen-tial components of this aim.

However, there is more. Creative expression fi lls the gaps and breathes life into the “literacy tool box.” StoryARTS is a small group, drop-in workshop dedicated to nurturing and sustain-ing the development of storytellers. Participants will explore their own stories of transformation and discovery and learn to share them publicly.

“As humans we have a lot of joy, sadness, laughter and experiences to share with each other and learn from. Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time and with new technology it’s been largely overlooked,” said Betsie Kopola-Hoshowski, Read Right Society’s summer student. “I’m excited to res-urrect the tradition of storytelling and create a platform for people to listen and share with each other.”StoryARTS is held at Read Right Society’s Lounge on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Th ursdays from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, contact Betsie Kopola-Hoshowski at 604-860-0510 or [email protected]

Free Summer Concerts in the ParkErin KnutsonHope Standard

Th e Hope and District Arts Council is proud to present their upcoming Free Summer Concerts in the Park for the 2015 summer season. For all music and outdoors lovers the concerts will be held at the Band-shell in Memorial Park most Saturdays from July 4th through to August 22nd at 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Upon the need to bring music and culture to the area of Hope, the concerts were established with the help of funding from a multitude of contributors in-cluding the Province, the District of Hope, FVRD, the B.C. Arts Council, ArtsBC, Pharmasave, Buy & Save, Envision and MNP.

Hard working volunteers have spent countless hours striving for perfection with limited resources, while a plethora of local talent have allowed for the township of Hope to enjoy a lot of culture on a limited budget.

“It off ers the opportunity for the community to experience a variety of live musical performances. It’s good for seniors or people who are not able to travel to places like Chilliwack to see a show,” said Diane Ferguson, Hope & District Arts Council, Ex-ecutive Director. It’s a good opportunity — it’s good for the town and for tourism.

Th e uniqueness of the free concerts is that it allows a myriad of local talent to showcase the beauty of their work in an extraordinary setting (home,) according to Ferguson, who proudly admits that there are a lot of amazing homegrown musicians. Th e council also tries to bring in performers from outside the community when possible.

Gerald Charlie and Black Owl Blues Band from Lake Erroch are slated as the fi rst group to be featured on Saturday, July 4th and will be singing their trademark bluesy sound, following a traditional First Nations welcome to start off the Free Summer Concerts in the Park in an honorable and commemorative fashion. For all interested parties and for more information, please contact 604-869-3400 or [email protected] and come on down to enjoy an entertaining aft ernoon. Dona-tions will be collected to help support the concerts for future summer days to come.

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

An email arrived in the Saanich News editor’s inbox on Tuesday morning from none other than Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. It read as follows: “hey. really quick... big announcement coming. on in 2 mins. it’s time for real change. gotta go. J.”

Th e email, craft ed to look like a buddy’s drunk text on a Saturday night, was sent to thousands of people across the country to bolster some last-minute webcast viewing of Trudeau’s campaign-style speech in Ottawa.

Th e highlight of that speech, other than watching 200 Liberal MP-hope-fuls fatigue their smiling muscles behind Trudeau’s podium, included a promise to reform Canada’s electoral system within 18 months of taking power.

A bold plan, indeed ... except for the fact that the federal NDP have been advocating for proportional representation since 2004, and the Greens have had it on their books since the mid-1990s.

Th e latest polling numbers (still four months out from the election) show that if the election was held today, the NDP could garner 29.1 per cent of the vote, while the Conservatives would hold onto a minority government with 30 per cent of the vote.

Th e same poll suggests the Liberals would again be in third place with 94 seats in the House of Commons.

Trudeau has a long road to climb to achieve Mulcair’s momentum, and the calculated release of the Liberals’ major announcements may yet be enough to turn the tide. But one mistake Trudeau needs to avoid is assum-ing that the Liberals belong in government or offi cial opposition. Times have changed since Chrétien and his cronies stretched their dynasty from coast to coast to coast.

Trudeau’s team followed up with another uncomfortably friendly email aft er his speech: “Busy day. Just back from the kids’ end of year school show, and found some more time to write.”

Th anks, buddy! Wanna grab a bite aft er the game? Trudeau’s campaign team would do well to release the leader from his manicured campaign roll-out so he can engage with everyday Canadians about real issues in an un-scripted setting.

People want to hear what each potential prime minister really thinks, but if that means reading poorly written text messages from Trudeau, they might just end up checking out.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to the West Coast Monday to unveil his party's environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election, promising to ban crude oil tankers from B.C.'s North Coast an impose an undefined price on carbon emissions after consulting the provinces.

If he forms the next government, Trudeau would invite premiers to join him at the next United Na-tions climate change conference in Paris next De-cember, and then meet them again within 90 days to come up with a national plan to regulate fossil fuel emissions.

"Central to this will be the creation of national emissions-reduction targets, informed by the best economic and scientific analysis," the party's 12-page summary says, adding that the Conservative government's emission reduction targets are "in-adequate and meaningless without a solid plan to achieve them."

Conservative Natural Resources Minister GregRickford and Environment Minister Leona Ag-lukkaq replied with a statement warning that theLiberal plan "will increase the costs of everythingincluding gas, groceries, electricity."

Rickford and Aglukkaq said Trudeau's prom-ise to end fossil fuel subsidies would removeOttawa's support for development of liquefiednatural gas export facilities in B.C. In February,Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced in-creased capital cost tax credits for the LNG in-dustry, similar to capital investment incentivesoffered by B.C.

NDP leader Th omas Mulcair has promised anational cap-and trade plan for carbon emissions,which would impose extra costs based on higheremissions and reward industries that are able to re-duce them. Th e Liberal plan promises a minimum$200 million annual spending to "support innova-tion and clean technologies in the forestry, fi sheries,mining, energy and agricultural sectors."

The Petronas LNG Complex in Bintulu, Saraka comprises three LNG plans with a capacity of 23 million tons per annum making it the world’s LARGEST LNG production facility on a single site.

Aft er the Wallace Street fi re in May — and it is common aft er any calamitous event that many voices could be heard giving opinions and speculations as to cause and eff ect, as people get swept up in a wave of sensationalism. Aft er a day or two the idle gossip dies down and thereaft er it’s only the die-hard gossips, the real expert manure manipulators that keep stir-ring the pot. Most of us return to our regular life’s activities, possibly with a mental note about what, if anything, we may have learned from that experience.

About ten days ago we were handed a hand-written draft for a petition seeking insight into the fi re department management policies, clearly directed at the District Hall management team with no mention of the fi refi ghters corps.

As requested, we proceeded to properly type-set this item and then provide the client with approximately 60 copies. For us this was very much a daily routine — aft er all, we are a print shop — and we were totally unprepared for the violent reaction that burst upon us last Friday, maliciously alleging that our involvement in this petition has grievously off ended all district staff , but especially the volunteer fi refi ghters, so much so that we must expect to get boycot-ted by the letter.

We totally repudiate this vicious insinuation, which can only have been thought up by a

devious mind bent on sowing fear and discord. It not only aims to destroy the fair-play repu-tation we have built over the years, it also blatantly tramples on the integrity of our volunteer fi refi ghters by suggesting they might retaliate.

For more than 25 years, we have been privileged to share our time and resources through numerous community projects and so developed a growing respect for other volunteers, es-pecially for our fi refi ghters and search and rescue members, who can always be relied upon to give their best in service to the community.

Th is good working relationship has grown into friendships in some cases, and if we have, however inadvertently, off ended any of them — we are sure they would be in touch to clear up any misgivings before they can start to fester.

Rest assured we continue to be available for all who come with the best intentions for the good of the community, knowing that by working together we can eradicate the foul-mouth gossips and through mutual respect of the other’s opinion build a better community.

Seeking wishesTh is is a reference to one of the

"most deserving Charitable or-ganizations in British Columbia".

Childrens' Wish is an entity that supplies signifi cant "Life wishes" to children who are suf-fering from serious physical dif-fi culties and who wish for a spe-cifi c experience in life.

My daughter is the Executive Director of the B.C. and Yukon Chapters of Childrens' wish. She had asked me to assist in pro-moting two fundraising events in June . She fi rst asked me to put up advertising fl yers across Langley for their "Princess and Pirates"

party event for young children and their parents. Th is event was a great success.

Th e second event was the Truckers' Convention, help re-cently in Abbotsford. I was asked to man the children's wish booth. Th is major convention for truck-ing fi rms from across western Canada was held at the Tradex Centre.

At their concluding dinner, they asked for substantial contri-butions for Childrens' wish and raised over $23,000. I am grateful for the generosity from the truck-ing community.

It was rewarding to see that many people desire to do their best to support the many chil-dren who have benefi tted from Childrens' Wish subsidies. In my opinion, this is one of the very best charitable foundations in Canada.

If you know of any local busi-nesses or individuals in Chilli-wack and Hope who wish to sponser a child for Childrens' Wish, please feel free to contact me.

A Mayor’s responseAs many of us have seen over

the past week, a petition per-taining to the local Hope Fire Department has been circu-lated anonymously around the community to various busi-nesses in our District.

It calls into question the training, leadership and direc-tion of the local fire depart-ment. As the Mayor and CEO of our fine community I am taking this opportunity to rec-ognize how offensive I find this document. The author(s) did not see fit to sign off on this petition and it is in essence an anonymous snipe at the volun-teers and leadership of the Fire Department.

I would like to make clear how appreciative the District Council is of all community Vol-unteers and Staff.

We are very fortunate to have the hard work-ing men and women that we do serving our community and put-ting their personal in-terests behind those of the community.

We have a group of fire personnel that miss many important fam-ily functions, take time away from their work-places, and put their lives at risk on occasion

to be a blessing to our commu-nity. Hats off to each and every one of them, therefore I cannot stand by and let their names be tarnished by this very peculiar petition initiative.

A recent local high profile fire of two local respected busi-nesses and three residences has clearly indicated to me the im-portance of the fire personnel in our community.

The footprint of the dam-age was minimized, no human lives were lost and surrounding businesses were spared from serious or catastrophic damage.

To the petition organizers and potential supporters, I wish

to make two important points. First we must keep in mind

that the firefighters are essen-tially volunteering their time to assist us in providing an essen-tial service that would be very costly to provide if we hired full time people to fill these impor-tant positions.

Secondly, I wish to suggest to any individual who has any feedback pertaining to any division of the district opera-tions, be it the fire department, the District Hall, or the Public Works function that they ap-proach Council or the CAO.

From 7

In a small community it is always important that we work together to resolve concerns in a respect-ful manner and follow the proper channels to en-sure that we do not alienate or polarize individuals or groups against one another.

For those of us who would like to see the Fire Department grow in size and the community have more fi re department volunteers, I would respect-fully suggest that you do as I did and speak with the Chief about your interest in becoming in-volved in assisting the department.

Another worthwhile point is that your new Dis-

trict Council has worked hard with our CAO John Fortoloczky to identify specifi c goals and timelines of these goals for all District departments.

These goals are the result of much work and appropriate public consultation and I look for-ward to the short and long term results of these initiatives.

In conclusion, I would like to give a personal message to all the Firefi ghters in the District — in an emergency, you have our back and Council has your back in this peculiar and unfortunate cir-cumstance.

The Giveaway Child is a poi-gnant story following the life of Hope author Greg Carson, who was tragically separated from his brothers at birth. Carson was raised by a family mem-ber after his parents divorced and he found himself sur-rounded by a series of unfor-tunate events, including a not so congenial stepfather and the mistreatment he suffered at the hands of his parents.

As a result of his less than ideal childhood, Carson spent a lifetime feeling that he was a bit of an enigma.

“I always felt different, some-thing wasn’t quite right, but I

couldn’t quite place it,” he told The Hope Standard.

Carson’s first memories were of his “shadow friends,” which he later realized were a subcon-scious manifestation tying him to his brothers.

“The feeling of loneliness, even with family and friends, followed me,” he said. “There was always the knowing that something was missing, but I couldn’t place what it was.”

After years involving lies of omission and the disconcerting realization that his father had kept the truth from him, Car-son grew up and lived an un-settled adult life, always search-ing for something he couldn’t understand.

The dyslexic authour felt anincompleteness that hauntedhim, until finally, at the fate-ful age of 70 he discovered theshocking news that he had beenborn a triplet.

The Giveaway Child is nowavailable at the Simon Fraser(SFU) Bookstore in Burnabyat 778-782-5533, or email thecp coordinator at [email protected]. It can also be ordered atamazon.com.

Fear Not—there is help for children and youth with anxietyOpinion

Dr. David SmithMedical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health

Everyone has times of feeling anxious, scared or fearful. In fact, without our body's innate ability to sense and respond to pend-ing danger, we would never have survived as a species.

Th ese days anxiety disorders, however, are

like a car alarm repeatedly sounding when there is no real threat. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern for children in B.C., aff ecting an estimated 10 to 12 per cent of all children, impacting their day-to-day life, their friendships, their school performance, their physical health and their sense of well-being. My col-leagues and I in the mental health fi eld are concerned that in this modern, fast-paced,

wired world, anxiety disorders in children are greatly increasing. We are seeing more children than ever before who are con-strained and made miserable by their fears when they should be feeling safe, secure, confi dent and happy.

Anxious feelings include a rapid heart-beat, diffi culty catching one's breath, a sense of doom, sweaty palms, an upset stomach or stomach ache, even nausea and vomiting.

Focusing on the feelings can cause them tointensify, a vicious cycle.

Anxious symptoms become a true anxi-ety disorder when the anxiety leads toavoidance of the situation that is causingthe anxiety — like a child avoiding schoolor social situations.

An unresolved anxiety disorder canoften lead to depression, substance useproblems in future years.

Anxiety, however,exists on a spectrum.A certain amount ofanxiety is normal andbenefi cial. It keeps ourchildren safe and con-scientious; it motivatesthem to perform well.Children who tend tohave anxiety are oft enmodel students: intel-ligent, diligent, analyti-cal, sensitive, alert, cre-ative and imaginative.Too little anxiety and achild or teenager maytake foolish risks or lackmotivation to succeed.But too much anxietyand children become soconstricted by fear thatthey may be unable toleave their parent's side,leave the house, go toschool, make friends orparticipate in normallife.

The good news isthat anxiety can bevery successfully treat-ed. Regular exerciseand reliable routines inchildren are often allit takes to quell mildcases. Mild and moder-ate anxiety is very re-sponsive to CognitiveBehavioural Therapy(CBT), which is a pro-cess of addressing theunhelpful thoughts andactions that underlieanxiety. Thought stop-ping, talking back tonegative thoughts, notbelieving everythingyou think, relaxationtechniques like calm-ing breathing, mind-fulness meditation, andgradual safe exposureto the things you fearare all examples oftypes of CBT.

All children — andadults, too — couldbenefi t from learningsimple CBT techniquesto turn off their bodycar alarms that aresounding unnecessarily.

In more long term orsevere cases of anxiety— such as panic dis-orders, Post TraumaticStress Disorder, Obses-sive-compulsive Disor-der — treatment may bea period of anti-anxietymedication plus teach-ing the child age-appro-priate CBT techniques,an approach called "pillsplus skills."

Lori WelbourneColumnist

Bruce Jenner, the man who became a national hero during the 1976 Olympics and also when he won a gold medal and broke a world record in the men’s decathlon event had a diff erent kind of victory this month: he fi nally revealed himself to the world as a woman. Th e cover and photo spread showing his new identity in the July edition of Vanity Fair magazine titled “Call me Cait-lyn” hit the Internet along with a request to be referred to with female pronouns rather than male. Th e media quickly honored her wishes.

A Twitter page for Cait-lyn was set up the same day and broke Barack Obama’s record for the shortest time to reach one million fol-lowers, achieving the mark in four hours and three minutes. Not everyone re-acted with kudos or accep-tance though. Some were disgusted with the gender change and others by all the exposure this story is getting. For the former I’d like to explore the reac-tions. For the latter, I chalk that up to Bruce Jenner be-ing a member of the most famous reality TV family, the Kardashians, of which millions are tired of hear-ing about. Considering her new name is spelled with the letter C rather than a K like the other six women she’s related to, Caitlyn may share that sentiment on some level. I don’t watch the popular program, but I’ve been following this particular story since the media started speculating about Bruce Jenner’s gender reassignment. Photographs taken over the last couple of years suggested that the famous athlete was taking on more of a femi-nine appearance through cosmetics and surgery. Th at was con-fi rmed in a recent exclusive interview she had with Diane Sawyer.

Knowing Bruce Jenner as an Olympic champion since my childhood, I found this transformation intriguing. Especially since I have a friend who’s secretly been a cross dresser for de-cades. To protect his identity I’ll call him John. Married with chil-dren, John and his wife are from religious, conservative families. For that reason and others he has gone to great lengths to hide his love for dressing like a woman, restricting himself to only indulg-ing when he travels out of town. When he came to Kelowna a few years ago from Vancouver, my girlfriend and I met up with him at a hotel and for the fi rst time I met his female persona. She was lovely, and beyond happy in her beautiful dress, high heels, wig and make up. Th e transformation took hours, and during that time our friend was like a kid in a candy store, enjoying every moment of the process with our mutual pal, who helped.

His impulse to dress like a female started when he was a young boy who felt trapped in a body of the wrong gender. As a child he

hid his desire to be a girl, and as an adult he has continued to hide his cravings to be a woman. When he momentarily shared this side of himself with his wife early on in their relationship she ex-pressed revulsion. Not wanting to lose her, his family, or his repu-tation in the business community, John has tried repeatedly to put an end to these strong feelings, but he hasn’t been able to. His secret persists and anxiety over its possible discovery intensifi es.

Bruce Jenner felt these same pressures and stress, with mil-lions watching and the paparazzi document-ing as much as they could. Becoming Caitlyn at the age of 65 and fi nally realizing her life-long dream of being a woman has her now

feeling like her authentic self. “Bruce always had to tell a lie,” she ex-

plained in her Vanity Fair interview. “He was always living that lie. Every day, he always had a secret, from morning until night. Caitlyn doesn’t have any secrets.”

She also said she didn’t want to end her days full of regret.

“If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,’” she said. Living with this decision isn’t easy though. According to a recent U.S. National Transgender Discrimination Survey 41 per cent of trans or gender-non-conform-ing people surveyed have attempted suicide – a staggeringly high statistic. I hope Cait-lyn’s experience will inspire John, and anyone yearning to live their truth, to not be afraid of what others think, to do what makes them happy, and to stay strong throughout. Sharing

her story, as others before her have done, can only help to breakdown the barriers created by judgment and intolerance and builda foundation for the kind of respect and acceptance we all de-serve as human beings.

If you are worried about your child or teenager's anxiety, there are many places to get help. Many online resources as well as books, some written for specifi c age groups, are available to give in depth information about anxiety and step-by-step in-structions for specifi c CBT techniques.

Anxiety BC (anxietybc.ca ) is a great place to start and it has detailed pages for adults and youth. Other sites include mindcheck.ca, and keltymentalhealth.ca.

If you feel your child is needing profession-al help, see your family doctor or contact the MCFD Child andYouth Mental Health office in

your community.Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psy-

chiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health.

This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Col-laborative.

Th e Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health ser-vices and support in the Interior Health and Van-couver Island Regions.

Th e Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.

A cycling skills camp provides the foundation necessary to succeed on wheels

Training tailor-made for young ridersSports

Barry StewartHope Standard

Ten local kids should be cycling with excellent skills, aft er taking part in this week’s iRide bike skills camp.

Th e day camp was organized by Recre-ation, Culture and Airpark Services and taught by Nigel Th ompson of Abbots-ford.

Th ompson came to town with a van carrying 30 bikes, helmets included, though many of the kids had their own bikes.

Th e gear and train-ing aids are supplied by Cycling BC, which brings lessons to many Lower Main-land schools.

“We’ll go into a school and one grade gets four sessions,” said Th ompson on Monday. “We like kids to bring their own bikes and helmets but we will provide gear to those who need it.

“Since we’ve been doing the iRide pro-gram, schools are re-porting that their bike racks are full,” added Th ompson. “One principal in North Vancouver said he’d have to buy another bike rack and I said ‘Th at’s a problem? It saves all the mess of parents shuttling kids to school in cars’ — and he agreed.”

From what he saw on the fi rst day of the camp, Th ompson said, “Hope is a great place for bikes — and kids do know how to ride.”

He was impressed

with the new bike skills park and took the group for a walk-through on Monday. “We scoped it

out and identifi ed that there are four skill lev-els there,” he said.

“Tuesday, we’ll go

there and work on ba-sic skills and make sure they’re not trying to ride outside their abili-

ty. It will be tailor-made for the kids.”

On Monday, Th omp-son introduced the

group to some fun ac-tivities that focus on training for being safe and attentive while

riding.Neela Gladue said

she especially liked the “Lava Game.”

“He throws out hula hoops and we ride around and when he says volcano we have to stop in a hoop,” she explained.

“It’s like musi-cal chairs,” added Th ompson.

“At fi rst, we al-lowed three to stop in one hoop but then we made it one-to-a-hoop — with one less hoop than the num-ber of riders present.”

Another game had all the kids riding in one direction around a circle of cones.

One rider was given a pool-noodle sword and whoever got poked on the tor-so by the sword had to go and rest inside the circle.

Th e last one to be tagged was given a sword and the two combatants had to try and tag the other still riding the same direc-tion and in the same circle.

On Monday, Th ompson also taught them hand sig-nals, rules of the road and where to look when you’re riding on the road.

Th is was the rec centre’s fi rst camp of the summer.

Events planned for kids and teens are ex-tensive. On the agen-da is gardening, rock climbing, slacklining, golfi ng, paddleboard-ing, soccer, fi eld trips and more.

Parents can pick up a summer program guide at the centre’s re-ception desk.

BARRY STEWART/ THE STANDARD

Sol Pereda tries to avoid being touched by Lucas Binette’s foam sword in the “Jousting Game” during the iRide bike skills camp on Monday. Children from age 8 to 12 have fun while learning cycling skills and safety. The camp ends on Friday.
