Money can seem complicated to young people. After all, many kids’ first exposure to the adult financial world

is parents muttering about bills, of toys being too expensive and of the rising costs of everything. A paper route is just not the money maker it used to be, it appears.

But what if instead of muttering, parents had frank and honest conversations with their children about how money should be managed?

“Knowledge is power—the more knowledge you have the better you can be. We can learn from each other,” said Rabinder Dhillon, a mortgage expert at Dominion Lending Centres CME Arrowsmith.

“I firmly believe that knowledge is meant to be shared.”

And Dhillon does just that, through many hours of volunteering with Alberni Valley teens.

For the past three years, she’s volunteered her time to lecture at the Dominion Lending Centres EnRICHed Academy at both Alberni District Secondary School and the VAST Learning Centre. The topic? Financial literacy so that teens understand from a young age how money works—and how it can work for them.

There’s a lot to teach. While youth may think that with regular paycheques comes

unlimited spending power, that’s not the case.

“Life does not get cheaper as we get older—it gets more expensive,” said Dhillon.

Her advice? “Understand and master the financial skills now in order that you can establish a foundation for future wealth and success.”

At a time where Canadians are spending more money and saving less than ever, Dhillon said that establishing

a habit of saving money is key.Her ‘golden rule’ is 10 per cent in

savings—and to start early to take advantage of compound interest.

Financial literacyIt’s a lesson best served young

“Knowledge is power—the more knowledge you have the better you can be. We can learn from

each other.”

Quoting Albert Einstein, Dhillon reminds her students that “compounding is mankind’s greatest invention because it allows for the reliable, systematic accumulation of wealth.”

But in order to be able to save money, you have to make sure not to let it be siphoned away by an item that’s become a necessity in today’s world—credit cards. In fact, the Neilson Report says that there are 576.4 million credit cards in circulation today, compared to zero in 1957.

Dhillon’s advice is to start young.

“Get a credit card as early in life as you can and ask for the highest available credit limit,” she said.

“This helps establish stronger credit faster.”

High credit is a necessity in today’s world, whether for rental applications, loans or approval for mortgages.

But high credit relies on not only having that credit card but using it wisely.

“Credit cards need to be utilized responsibly and what consumers need to understand is that credit cards are not free money. Anything you charge on that card you will have to pay back. ”

If you don’t, then the true

cost of credit cards becomes apparent.

“The key is to pay down your balance fully every single month,” said Dhillon.

Interest is how credit cards make money off of consumers and with the average household credit card debt having reached $16,000, they’re making a lot of it.

“Penalty fees paid were over $22 billion in 2012,” Dhillon said.

But if you use credit cards intelligently, then they can be a great tool. As with all other

aspects of personal finance, knowledge is key.

“Parents can prepare kids for the realities of managing their own money be exposing them to all types of finance decisions that they themselves are currently making. Things like household budgets, paying bills, the difference between credit cards (interest and perks on different credit cards), banking service charges, higher interest rates on savings accounts and diversification their investments,” Dhillon urges. “

“I firmly believe knowledge is meant to be shared. Empower people with knowledge—learn, grow and inspire each other to achieve financial goals.”

“Credit cards need to be

utilized responsibly...anything you charge on that card you will have to pay

back.”

High credit rating good to build young

SPOTTINGJane

by SUSAN QUINN / Alberni Valley News

British author Jane Austen died in 1817, but her popular books of romantic fiction,

set among the landed gentry, remain as popular now as they were controversial back in the 1800s.

It is Austen’s popularity—and the Western world’s fascination with this faction of society, witness the popularity of the television show Downton Abbey—that has prompted Port Alberni’s Centennial Belles to plan a Jane Austen Festival and parade for July 8–9 in Port Alberni.

“She was quite amazing,” says Tricia Knight, who is spearheading the Jane Austen Festival. “She was a gutsy lady. Nobody was writing books when she wrote: it just wasn’t done. Women didn’t write.

“She didn’t see all her books published—she died before that happened.”

The festival “celebrates a woman who put herself on the map,” says Knight.

“She stepped out of what she was (upper class) and looked outside of it. She wrote way

beyond her time.”Novels such as Sense and

Sensibility, Pride and Prejudiceand Emma all provide social commentary that remains relevant in today’s society. They have been recreated into Hollywood blockbuster films, and even reworked into the zombie craze (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is in book form and will hit the silver screen in February).

The phenomenon is far-reaching: Jane Austen fans—who call themselves ‘Janeites’—hold festivals from Mansfield Park in Montreal to Canberra in Australia. A group from Bath, England, still holds the record of the most people (409) dressed in Regency period costume in one place, Knight said.

The Centennial Belles are hoping a record number of Jane Austen admirers will put Port Alberni in the Guinness Book of Records this summer.

workshops‘Janeites’ coming from all overShe and the Centennial

Belles want to beat that record, which was set in 2009, and they are asking people in the Alberni Valley and beyond to help.

“We are challenging the Guinness Book of World Records,” Knight said. “I know Bath, England had their festival last year and they went over 500 (people),” she said.

A parade through the Rotary Arts District is planned for July 9.

The Belles have garnered support from various places and groups: there is a Jane Austen chapter in Victoria whose members are going to come to Port Alberni for the festival. In the Alberni Valley, Knight said there are pockets of people and groups interested in creating their own costumes and supporting the festival. It is important now to make sure the correct period clothing is made, so no

one is disqualified, she said.The Centennial Belles are

holding a number of free workshops between now and June, to help people learn to make their own costumes.

They can be as simple as buying a thrift store empire-waist dress and adding a hat or lacy blouse underneath, says Knight.

To keep up enthusiasm for the festival, the Belles have been popping up at public events such as the PEAK FM Polar Bear Swim on Jan. 1. They encourage people to do some “Jane-spotting”, and come and say hello whenever they see the Belles out at events.

More information on the festival as well as a workshop schedule and ideas for costumes can be found online at www.centennialbelles.ca or on their Facebook page, Jane Austen Festival of Port Alberni.

ElderCollege is also doing a panel discussion on Jane Austen on April 19 at North Island College. Registration is $10 for ElderCollege registrants.

The Belles are offering workshops on making regency wear for the festival.

Quirky wooden mushrooms have been popping up in trails and forested areas around the Island lately, and they’ve all been carved by a Port Alberni hobbyist.

The latest was completed at the end of November at the entrance to Maquinna Trail.

Tim Anderson, a tree climber by day, travels extensively up and down the Island for work. He started noticing stumps at trailheads and along the highways and decided to add an artistic flair for passersby. After his first carving, he was continually looking for opportunities to transform stumps into large fungi and enhance public spaces.

“I carved one at Robert’s Lake, a couple in Port Alice and one along the highway to Tofino,” Anderson said.

He started receiving positive feedback from people admiring his work. When he came across a down tree at the trailhead

just behind Maquinna Elementary School, he brought over his chainsaw and began carving. Visible from the road, the mushroom gained immediate attention.

“All the trees are ones that have been cut down and a high stump left behind,” he said. “They make a nice conversation piece for people. My (four-year-old) son

likes them too.” Anderson has only been on

the road for work for about four or five years, but started carving six years ago as a hobby. So far he has completed a fence in his own yard of cedar posts with flared butts. He stained them and added a gate. He also has some pieces at Blue Fish Gallery.

So far all of Anderson’s trail works have been mushrooms, but he said he might look to

expand with different ideas. Although he does not consider himself on the same level as the professional chainsaw carvers, he is always honing his skills.

“I’m always keeping my eyes open so if someone has a tree that BC Hydro wants to cut down and it’s in a good place, I would be interesting in carving something there,” he said.

An expansion at the Port Alberni Association for Community

Living means there will be more opportunities for people of all ages living with developmental disabilities.

Last December the organization purchased the former Jericho Road Church on Dogwood Street.

It will be an addition to the Second Avenue location.

After the church moved to the former Mt. Klitsa School on Tebo Road, the building sat empty for a few years.

It has been a work in progress to get the new location up to standards and enhance the working space, but staff will soon be ready to administer services and programs.

“Our programs and staff have been expanding so we were looking for office space at first,” said Craig Summers, PAACL executive director.

“We came across this one and it is suitable space-wise for offices and also has a basement to enhance our programs for the entire agency.”

The upper floor will be used by outreach staff and those responsible for semi-independent living and self-help skills programs.

Such programs can use the full basement for hands-on skills development with the kitchen for cooking and menu planning.

“That is extremely popular because (participants) get to cook meals for themselves for five days a week, so it teaches food security and food education,”

Summers said. Also taking advantage of the

new space will be parent and tot groups and the Supported Child Development Program.

The building will hold regular infant massage

groups and workshops for participants and staff.

Summers said he envisions room for growth.

“There could be community meetings with partners down the road,” he said.

He also said the need for programs supporting people living with developmental disabilities in Port

Alberni is high. “We are a city known for

good quality programs for people with disabilities, so if there is a wait list Island-

wide, we can open up some of our programs to other communities and have the ability to open up more and different programs to meet their needs.”

The central location will be helpful for clients and community partners specializing in public and mental health, housing and child care.

Despite a few delays, Summers expects the building will be fully functional in January. Renovations began in the spring and have wrapped up with new flooring, windows, heat and ventilation system, plumbing, wiring and lighting.

Grant funding helped ensure full wheelchair accessibility.

An open house for the public, stakeholders and participants will take place in January and will be an opportunity to showcase its programs.

Pay down your DEBTBut fi rst, fi gure out what kind of debt you have

If you’re in debt, you’re not alone. Holiday spending can leave many people with the difficult task of paying off those bills

in the New Year. A recent poll from CIBC suggests that paying down debt remains the top financial priority for one in four (26 per cent) of Canadians, for the sixth year in a row.

Reducing the amount of debt you’re carrying can have long term benefits to your financial health. Here are some tips to help you reevaluate your debt

repayment plans and get ahead this year.

Assess your debt. Do you actually know how much debt you have? Many people don’t. Before you can tackle your debt, you need to know what

you owe and how much interest you

are paying. Start by making a list of everything you owe, whether it’s a mortgage, a credit card or student loan(s). Write down the lender’s name, the amount you owe, the term of the loan and the interest rate/fees. Once the list is completed figure out the total balance.

Know your score. We all change over time, and so do our credit scores. A credit score is the numerical value used by lenders to assess individuals’ “credit risk” at a given time.

It changes based on history of payments, accounts owed, new credit applications and more. The higher your score, the better.

Make sure you know your score – it’s important because it influences whether you’ll be approved for credit cards, mortgages and other loans, as well as the interest rates you’re offered.

Create a realistic budget. Reducing debt is like losing

weight. You’re not going to lose 50 pounds in a month. You need to set realistic goals in reasonable time frames. Same with debt -and knowing where your money goes is an excellent starting point.

In order to reduce your debt load you must create a realistic budget. Track your spending for a month to see where your money is really going, then create a monthly budget by adding up your income, estimating expenses and figuring out the difference.

Take a (meno)pauseThe transition can be a rocky one for women

The natural transition from the reproductive years to the postmenopausal years is not necessarily a smooth one, even though it is a normal process of aging.

No two women’s menopause transition is alike. Some women begin to experience symptoms long before menopause has occurred. This is called “perimenopause” and usually occurs around age 47 and can last for four to five years before menopause occurs.

Symptoms of perimenopause include menstrual irregularities, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and thinning, decreased libido, mood swings, depression, changes in memory and cognition, sleep disturbances, hair loss on the head, hair growth and acne on the face, fatigue, nausea, palpitations, headaches, urinary tract infections, joint pains.

To determine the hormone levels in the body, naturopathic physicians will measure the amounts in blood or saliva. The saliva test measures the active unbound form of the hormone in the body and determines the levels of estrogen, progesterone, as well as cortisol, testosterone, and DHEA.

Cortisol is measured four times a day to show a cortisol curve, which is an important indicator to determine the health of the adrenal glands. As women transition through menopause, the adrenal glands are extremely

important as they start to take over the role of hormone secretion as the ovaries slow down

production.Women who

are burnt out or tired usually have low adrenal function, and thus have a harder time transitioning through menopause and worse symptoms

of hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, irritability, hair loss, etc.

I typically advise women with adrenal fatigue to slow down, rest

more, and take important B vitamins and herbal remedies to restore adrenal cortisol production. This will inevitably help their menopausal symptoms as well.

Naturopathic treatment involves balancing the hormones through whole foods diets (avoidance

of sugar, white flour, caffeine, and alcohol), stress reduction techniques to optimize the adrenal gland function, and certain vitamins, minerals, and herbs.

Herbs such as black cohosh, red clover, and chasteberry are helpful for increasing and balancing estrogen and progesterone. To minimize osteoporosis risk, vitamin D status should be tested and as much as 5000-10 0000 IU/day of Vitamin D can be prescribed.

Bio-identical hormones are derived

from natural plant sources (ie. soy or wild yam) and are more recognizable to the human body then those derived from traditional HRT (horse urine). Bio-identical hormones can be prescribed by a naturopathic doctor in order to balance hormones and alleviate menopausal symptoms with little or no side effects.

Often, I find that progesterone cream prescribed in minute doses can help reduce the effects of anxiety, insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, and depression associated with menopause.

Estriol cream can be applied topically to the vagina to help with dryness or pain during intercourse.

These trans-dermal applications of hormones can be prescribed by a naturopathic doctor. It is important to have hormone levels tested first to determine appropriate dosage requirements of hormone creams.

From / 11Consider using online banking

or mobile banking apps to create spending limits and alerts to help you stay on track with budgeting.

Cut spending. Cutting back is usually a better

place to start than completely cutting out. Be realistic.

It will help you be more prepared for unexpected costs. Question your needs and wants, and evaluate your current financial situation by taking a look at the big picture.

Consolidate debt. Is it the right time to consolidate your debt? Debt consolidation is a form of debt refinancing where you’re essentially taking out one loan to pay others – but at a lower rate of interest.

Check out Visa’s Practical Money Skills’ consolidation calculator to see what your monthly payment would be with or without a consolidated

loan, and how many months it will take to become debt free.

Talk to an advisor. If you discover that you’ve gotten

off track or need help realigning your financial goals, consider working with a financial advisor.

Talking to an advisor can help you create a plan, reduce interest costs and get out of debt over time.

Bottom Line: Reducing debt is crucial for your wellbeing and for weathering the good and bad financial milestones in life. Re-evaluate your debt repayment plans and start 2016 off on the road to financial stability.
