With August comes the beginning of music festival season in the Boundary, with three gatherings slated for the next few weeks. 250-449-1982 It all kicks off tomorrow with the Boogie Bash bordercountrybob.ca setting up shop at the Rock Creek Fairgrounds. This year’s Bash features a line-up of nine musical acts and will run Friday through Sunday. Legion Branch 155 president Bob Walker hopes business soon improves for the club.

Alcohol and boating don’t mix Drinking and boating accounts for approximately 40 per cent of boating-related fatalities on Canadian waterways. To raise awareness and reduce alcoholrelated deaths, the Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) is launching year three of an initiative called “Operation Dry Water.” Its goal is to discourage this dangerous practice. With the summer boating season in high gear, the Aug. 1 long weekend is the perfect time to remind Canadian boaters about the risks of drinking and boating. Combined with sun, wind, waves and the rocking motion of the boat, the effects of alcohol on the water can be greatly increased. “The CSBC, its partners and sponsors would like, through this and our other initiatives, to raise attention to the problem of boating under the influence and to remind boaters not to drink and boat,” stated John Gullick, chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. Operation Dry Water will focus on the potential risks of drinking and boating, and remedies that are currently in place to discourage it. Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. This means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge is able to, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges. But that’s not all; it can get worse. Some provinces have enacted legislation where drinking and boating can affect your automobile driving privileges. In Ontario, for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel.” As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, faces an on-the-spot automobile drivers’ license suspension. Should the person’s blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction, an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied.

Listen carefully. Your children may give you clues that finances are becoming a struggle without coming right out and saying it. They may complain about a landlord being too tough on them. They may express anxiety about whether they will get a raise or bonus at work. Probe to find out if financial stress is behind these comments. Be open. Tell our children about some of your own money challenges,

today and when you were their age. This can help reassure them that you won’t be judgmental, as well as giving you a chance to share some of your money management tips.

In the midst of this period of rapid change, there are regular expenses to pay – from groceries to utilities. There may be a student loan, a car loan and mortgage payments to make. In the months when income doesn’t match expenses, credit card balances and other consumer debt may start to creep upwards.

Offer objectivity. Acknowledge that you don’t have all the answers and, if appropriate, recommend that your children make an appointment to speak with your advisor. An advisor can provide expert advice – and young adults may be more comfortable talking about their financial situation with a professional.

The sooner young adults start balancing income and expenses and keeping debt to a minimum, the better positioned they will be for future financial success. Here are tips on how to have a productive conversation with your children:
