The death of more than 20 fish in Como Lake lastweek has been attributed to a bacterial infection ina disproportionately high number of invasive, non-native fish in the lake.Officials with both the City of Coquitlam and
Environment Canada said the infection was found inthe lakes bullhead species, fish that are not native toComo Lake or any other bodies of water in B.C.Its not surprising that [the infection] is in that
species because, basically, they have no naturalpredator, said Stacy Webb, a biologist with theFreshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. Theyre notnative to here, and theyre on the edge of their pre-
ferred habitat, and so you have a whole bunch of onespecies all trying to compete with each other.Fishing at Como Lake had been temporarily sus-
pended late last week, although anglers were allowedback to the lake in time for the long weekend.The testing was completed late last week and
we got those results on Friday afternoon, which iswhat allowed us to make the decision to re-open thelake, said Steffanie Warriner, Coquitlams managerof environmental services. There is no plan to doadditional testing. However, we are going to be outpatrolling and keeping an eye on things. If we seeanything unusual, we would look to do some furtherassessment, but we dont expect there to be any-thing.Initial reports of the dead fish originally came to
light last Wednesday, when Environment Canada
officials noted that 25 dead fish had washed ashore.The majority of those fish turned out to be bull-heads, though some dead trout were reported aswell.Environment Canada spokesperson Tina Cobb
said Tuesday that no other wildlife have beenaffected other than the fish that washed ashore lastWednesday. Cobb also ruled out any possibility ofchemical contaminates in the lake.City officials said the infection has already reached
its peak level and that the number of fish deathsshould be on the decline. Webb added that there islittle chance the infection will spread to the lakesrainbow trout population, as the trout tend to staynear the surface of the water, while the bullheads

It will be built on scheduleWere having discussions as wespeak with the mayors councilto work through how to closethat gap.In spite of funding uncertain-
ties, Bond said the project isgoing forward. However, shesaid the mayors council willneed to bring its share to thetable as well.They recognize Im sure
that everyone else does whata priority this is, not just forCoquitlam and that area but,in fact, for everyone who wouldbenefit from the use of that linebeing connected to SkyTrainand ultimately Canada Line,she said.Bottom line, we understand
how people can feel frustrated.We feel we share some of thatfrustration, and thats whyweve said this is a priority Weve had some very productivediscussions with the mayorscouncil and we are going tomove forward with this projectone way or another.The Evergreen Line remains
top priority, Bond said,although planning has alsobegun for future lines.The first project we will be
considering, we will be movingforward with, is the EvergreenLine. We are obviously now doing planning andthinking about the UBC and Surrey lines, but theresmuch work to be done as we prepare for those in thefuture, she said.But in the short term, the Evergreen Line is long
past overdue we will move forward with this andthats our intent.As vice-chair of the mayors council on transporta-
tion, Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini recently metwith Bond and discussed the long-awaited line.Sustainable funding and the Evergreen issue
need to be resolved fairly quickly. Nobody has theanswers yet, but at least were talking, he said.Trasolini said he believes the Evergreen Line will
be built, adding that TransLink will need new fund-ing options to be sustainable.The province is too entrenched in the promise,
he said. To me, its not a question of happening
or not happening. To me, its a question of how itsgoing to be paid for. It comes down to the politicalwill.However, Tri-Cities residents are tired of waiting,
Trasolini said.I think theyre steamed. I think theyre throwing
their hands up in the air and theyre tired of hearingthe province say, Were committed, well build it.Well when? What if the province gets into politicalhot water? Arent they there now? What happens iftheres a shift in the priorities? he asked.I think its too late for that. I think the project in
essence is underway perhaps not physically, notvisibly, but I think that for this or any other govern-ment, they would have a hard time mothballing thisone now.Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart is also confi-
dent the Evergreen Line is finally on its way.Every time Ive spoken to the premier about
it, hes been tenaciously adamant that it is beingdesigned right now and it will be built on schedule,Stewart said.But Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore is less
optimistic.Ill be concerned until the day that the shovels
in the ground. Weve got some major hurdles toovercome between now and then, one being finan-cial. We need to be working together to figure outthe financial aspects of the project and the ongoingoperational costs of the project, Moore said.Im not sure if youd find too many residents
who think it is coming. Weve been put on thebackburner for so long and were fighting all of thetime to ensure that the line gets built. Weve beendisappointed many times over the years, and wevegot to keep making sure that this is a top issuefor TransLink and for the province and all of theregion.

Its being hailed as decent step inthe right direction, but one that failsto address the citys long-term cyclinginfrastructure needs.Coquitlam council unanimously
approved the completion of a 17-kilo-metre cross-town bike route on May17, though one of the initiatives key
planners says it barely scratches thesurface of whats needed for Tri-Citiescyclists.Coquitlam has historically not
spent a lot of money on cycling infra-structure. We now have some newcouncil members who want to changethat, and this is a way where we canpromote cycling by signing routes thatare already there and brining aware-ness to cycling, said Alexi Zawadzki,chair of the Tri-Cities chapter of the
Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition(VACC). To that extent, the VACCsupport this initiative. Having saidthat, this is just a first step. Theresa lot left to be done in Coquitlam tomake these routes more accessible andsafer for people to ride.Zawadzki worked alongside city
staff in planning the route, which con-nects the citys southwest corner fromWhiting Way to the northeast areanear David Avenue and Coast Meridian
Road. Sixty per cent of the route isalready in use and designated for cyc-ling, while the remaining 40 per centis located on low volume streets inthe Ranch Park neighbourhood.The project will cost $40,000,
money that will be used mostly forsigns, road marking and mapping.The city will also tout the new routeduring Bike to Work Week, which is

Council votes to give residents a sayon longer hours for Keg restaurant
Its an extension of only twobusiness hours per week, butone thats nonetheless lookedat as precedent setting for thecitys business community.Coquitlam council voted
last week to carry out a publichearing regarding an exten-sion to liquor serving hours atThe Keg Steakhouse & Bar at2991 Lougheed Hwy.The proposed changes
would allow The Keg to serveliquor for two additionalhours over the course of theweek, extending its liquor-serving hours from midnightto 1 a.m. on both Fridays andSaturdays.Despite what some on
council viewed as a minorchange, some around thetable as well as an accom-panying city staff report noted that the city hastraditionally refused suchrequests in the past.
Once we do one, you willknow that we will get otherones, said Coun. Mae Reid.Im not saying I have a prob-lem with it. This will be pre-cedent setting in our city.The two options before
council call for either a publichearing on the matter onefunded by The Keg at a costof about $1,100 or allow-ing the Liquor Control andLicensing Branch to conductits own review.Because The Kegs location
is away from residential areas,a handful of councillors sawlittle use in the public consul-tation process.Though the move to con-
duct a public hearing waseventually passed, Couns.Lou Sekora, Doug Macdonelland Brent Asmundson votedagainst the measure.Theres nothing before
me that says theres anythingnegative about this applica-tion, said Macdonell, addingthat the business has provenitself to be a good corporate
citizen.Those sentiments were
echoed by Sekora, who saidhis vote was based partly onthe fact that the Keg isnt adrinking-only establishment.Theres no residents close
to there and theyre an eatingestablishment, so theyre notlike a cabaret or a pub thatis going to be open just fordrinking purposes only.Couns. Linda Reimer,
Selina Robinson and BarrieLynch, however, argued thatthe city should conduct itsown consultation. Had coun-cil opted to have the LiquorControl and Licensing Branchconduct its own review, thecity would have had little tono say over the application.I think if were going to
depart from such a tradition,were basically setting a pre-cedent for the city I seeno harm in having a publicconsultation to allow there tobe a vetting of the differentopinions, Lynch said.I prefer going through
our own processes, Reimeradded. That way we knoweverything is covered and wecan make the recommenda-tions accordingly.

slated for the first week of June. The citydid compile a list of 25 prioritized cyc-ling routes that needed improvementsin 2008, a process Zawadzki was a partof. He said about $90,000 in municipalfunds has been spent annually on cyclinginfrastructure in recent years, though heconceded that other levels of government TransLink and the province havealso moved slowly on providing moneyfor the cycling crowd. In any event,Zawadzki said the amount of money thecity spends on bike infrastructure doesnot come close to the amount needed tosubsidize the 25 projects.With that type of funding, it will take
75 years to fund the 25 priorities thatweve identified. That top 25 list is a fan-tasy right now unless there is some sortof changes.Though he lauded the cross-town route
as a way to promote healthy living whilecutting down on greenhouse gas emis-sions, Mayor Richard Stewart did concedethat local cycling infrastructure needsmore funding.We need to expand the safe use of
bicycles as an alternative form of trans-portation this does that, Stewart said.I want us to move faster on the improve-ments for bikes in our community. We makeenormous investments in the infrastructure forthe car. We need to make some investments forbikes as well.Coun. Brent Asmundson, chair of the citys
engineering, utilities and environment com-mittee, agreed. Though he favours expandingthe citys cycling infrastructure, he wants
other levels of government to jump on boardwith more money particularly in the area ofLougheed Highway near Riverview Hospital.Forty thousand dollars is an inexpensive
way of filling the existing gaps in a cross-townroute without any major costs of road improve-ments, he said. But its nuts with peopletrying to cycle down certain sections of [theLougheed Highway].

In approving the replacement school for Centennial, theMinistryof Education has also committed to looking at Centennial for theNeighbourhood Learning Centres (NLC) initiative. The idea is to ndunique and innovative ways to design schools with community usein mind. Schools within a NLC site could include services such as:Child-care programs; Health Clinics; Sports programs; Family Resourcecentres; and recreational programs, to name a few examples.
The intent behind this initiative is for schools and communityorganizations to partner together to create opportunities wherepeople can access educational and community services under one roof.
To gain a better understanding of community needs, the district willbe holding a community consultation with Centennial residents todetermine how to best bring together community services and theschool community.

Police are putting the community on notice that uniformedand plainclothes officers will be patrolling the Buntzen Lakearea this summer to enforce Liquor Control Act regulations.We encourage the public to come to Buntzen and enjoy what
the area has to offer, minus the alcohol, Const. ChristopherNordlund, one of the Coquitlam RCMP officers dedicated torural patrols, said in a release. As the majority of calls forpolice service at Buntzen Lake are alcohol-related, the emphasisof the parks patrol is, of course, the enforcement of the LiquorAct. Public safety is our priority.The fine for consuming liquor in a public place has increased
to $230. Last summer, 118 tickets were issued, and policewere called 58 times for various things like impaired drivingand drugs. Police warn that those caught drinking in the parkcan expect to receive a ticket and to be evicted from the park.Officers will also be in boats to patrol activities on the water.

Finance Minister Colin Hansen wandered up tothe press gallery the other day, searching outreporters to talk about what appears to be theend of the economic recession.It was an indication of the somewhat desperate
situation Hansen and his colleagues are in rightnow. The sign of any positive development is quicklyseized upon by the government, which tries tothrust it in front of the public in thehopes of getting some kind of credit forit.But the strategy is not working. The
public has tuned the B.C. Liberal govern-ment out, and no matter what Hansensays about the economy, Im not sureanyone is listening to him.Evidence of that can be seen in the
latest Mustel Group poll, which peggedsupport for the BC Liberals at just 32 percent of the electorate, well behind theNDP, which sits at 44 per cent.More troubling for the BC Liberals, the poll
showed rising support for a third party. The BCConservatives, which barely exists as a viable polit-ical organization, sits at seven per cent.A scenario seems to be developing which could
prove fatal to the BC Liberals. If there is indeed agrowing appetite for a centre-right alternative to thegoverning party, the NDP would coast to a ratherlarge majority win in 2013.A third party provides the vote split the NDP
needs to win an election (the three times it has wonpower all occurred with a significant split on the
centre right).So how can the BC Liberals squelch a third party
before it catches fire? Its not an easy question toanswer.The magnitude of the problem can be seen in the
areas where support for the anti-HST petition isstrongest. In roughly a half-dozen ridings currentlyheld by Liberal MLAs, the number of signatures
on the petition exceeds the number ofpeople who voted for them in the lastelection (and the number of these rid-ings will surely grow by the time thepetition sign-up period ends in July).Significantly, these ridings are located
in the Interior, where the old federalReform Party was strongest in federalelections. The electorate in that regiongravitates toward an anti-tax populisttype of political movement, so its easyto foresee a centre-right alternative tothe BC Liberals putting down stakes
there and not being easily dislodged.The key for a third party to take hold will be its
adherence to populist issues not its potentialto become a vehicle for the religious right, whichwould doom it to the margins of the political scene.Thats one prospect of hope for the government.
The BC Liberals other glimmer of hope found in theMustel poll (and supported by the findings of otherrecent polls) is that the NDP itself shows few signs ofgrowth in popularity.The NDP is still not viewed with much credibility
when it comes to managing the economy. This may
provide the only path back to respectability for theBC Liberals, but its by no means guaranteed.Hansen rhymed off a number of economic indica-
tors and forecasts that all point upwards for B.C.Job numbers are up, as are building permits andretail sales. Mills are reopening as the forest industrylurches back to life, and the mining industry appearsstronger than at any time in recent memory.Several economic forecasts put B.C. at the head of
the pack when it comes to economic growth amongprovinces.Once an economic recovery takes a firmer hold,
will the electorate be more forgiving toward the BCLiberals and more suspicious of the NDPs perceivedweakness? Or will a recovery put everyone in a com-fort zone that allows enough people to take a chanceon the New Democrats?The answer to this puzzle may provide the key to
the next election. In the meantime, Hansen and hiscolleagues have to find a way to make people listento them once more.As long as the din over the HST blocks everything
else out, the government will continue be ignored(or vilified) and the prospects of that third partyrising will increase.There may come a day when Hansen visits the
press gallery and gets his message out in a moreeffective way, but that day still seems a long way off.
Prospects of a third party now increasing
Next spring. Thats when the provincenow says it will begin construction onthe long-awaited Evergreen Line.The old construction date was this year, but
now Transportation Minister Shirley Bond saysshovels will hit the ground in spring 2011.I can understand how people have been
waiting for a very long time in fact, decades for this project, Bond told The NOW.We have made a commitment that theyre
not going to have to wait any longer. We aregoing to go to construction next spring.Theres only one problem: that pesky $573-
million funding shortfall. Of that amount,TransLink is on the hook for $400 million,while a proposed P3 that has yet to material-ize is supposed to make up the remaining$173 million.Bonds plan? Hit up the mayors council,
which consists of Metro Vancouver politicianstasked with approving the plans a now-appointed TransLink board of directors comesup with. The mayors are in an impossible pos-ition, with only two choices in front of them.The first is to agree to a potential board
plan to raise all sorts of fees to fund theEvergreen Line, a move sure to make eachmayor the target of taxpayer anger. The sec-ond is to refuse to agree to such a plan, whichwould also make mayors the target of publicanger, this time for failing to adequately fundthe regional transportation system.If there were a new source of money, either
federal, provincial or in the form of a P3, welikely would have heard about it by now.But the feds and the province have already
kicked in a combined $827 million, and itsunlikely they plan to give more, especially assenior governments around the world contem-plate raising taxes on all sorts of goods andservices to make up for the borrowing done tostimulate the economy.Where does that leave the Evergreen Line?
As nothing more than a plan.

Promises are easy,but moneys scarce
View FromThe LedgeKeith Baldrey
I am writing to express my continued concernwith the amount of drivers still using their cell-phones while driving.Although I will concede that there has been a
reduction overall, there are still manydrivers that are blatantly breaking thelaw and, by doing so, are endangeringthe lives of those around them.Their egocentric behaviour and utter
disregard for the travesty they could setin place makes these drivers a menace.When the seatbelt laws came into
effect many years ago and law enforcement set upthe seatbelt roadblocks, I believe that this compelledthe last few people to implement the change.
Although I am affected as a taxpayer by a driverfailing to have their seatbelt harnessed in an acci-dent, through offsetting health-care and emergencyservices, I feel much more directly affected by these
impaired drivers who feel that theirphone calls are more important thanhuman life.It is imperative that more is done to
ensure compliance to this law.I would like to know what the police
are doing to ensure that the people whofeel they are above the law are forced to
comply.Theresa Hendriks

Modest homes are bestRe: Density is about more than high-
rises, letter to the editor, Friday, May 21.Thank you, Ms. Shoemaker, for giving us
your vision of the Austin Heights neighbour-hood. The suggestion of smaller single dwell-ing housing (2,000 to 3,000 square feet) asopposed to the grandiose dwellings that arebeing built, paired with greenspace for a yard what a concept. The Coquitlam that I grewup in was exactly that we had a modesthome, a front and backyard to play in (yes,play, outside) and trees, plants, flowers. Theneighbours knew each others names; we didnteven have to lock our doors because it was safe.Monster homes of 6,000 to 7,000 square
feet are like the gas-guzzling SUVs that werea passing fad. People scorn drivers that ownthose because we are becoming more awareof the damage they do to our Earth. Excessivehomes are not necessary, and the energy andcost to heat and power them is also unneces-sary. I further concur with Ms. Shoemakersthoughts on highrise towers. That is notCoquitlam. Nor should it ever be Coquitlam.Please, council, have a realistic view of a sus-tainable and livable city with an Earth-friendly,neighbourhood-friendly vision.Ms. Shoemaker, as my teacher at Porter
Street Elementary you were an inspiration tous then, as you continue to be now all theseyears later. Thank you.

Private schools help publicRe: Pull private school funding, letter to
the editor, Wednesday, May 19.If Mr. Langs suggestion of pulling private
school funding has anything to do with budgetissues in the public school system, I think a
reality check is in order.If the government was to actually pull fund-
ing from private schools, here is the reality:Only the very wealthy could afford the fullcost of that education (as is shown with thefamilies that attend full private schools). Thoseparents who send their kids to partially fundedindependent schools (like myself) who earn amiddle class income and who are sacrificing alot of things just to be able to afford the tuitionwould inevitably withdraw and head back intothe public school system if their fees suddenlyrose by 50 per cent. The result? A huge influxof kids into the public school system thatwerent there before.You might think that as a result
the government will just movethose financial resources back intothe public school and the financialissues of the public school systemwould be solved. The reality is thatindependent schools only get half as much perstudent as public schools do. They would beshort the other 50 per cent when these kidsget into the public system. Parents who aresending their kids to independent schools areactually saving money, not taking it away.Mr. Lang should also be aware that as a par-
ent of an independent school child, I am alsoa taxpayer. I do not have the choice to choosewhere my school taxes go and, therefore, mytaxes are also funding public schools. Not onlyam I paying money for school, but additionallymy taxes are being sent into the public schoolsystem as a taxpayer. So unless you are goingto give me the choice as a taxpayer to havemy taxes put directly into the private schoolsystem, I suggest that you look at the numbersbefore making that statement.The public needs to be aware that there are
different levels of funding for different typesof private schools, and so pulling the funding
across the board isnt going to be the solutionto their money woes. Maybe better businesschoices on the part of the school boards arethe better solution.

Rudeness is growingAfter spending a number of years in the call
centre industry, Ive come to notice an evergrowing culture of disconnect. Is this due toa critical failure in our education system, thedaily barrage of negative information or simply
a collective laziness of character,kindness or manners?The disrespect shown between
humans is growing as we con-tinue to remove ourselves fromeach other with our ever expand-ing digital communication. Yet
people continue to move closer to each otherby migrating to urban centres while perceivingcultural differences as ignorance or stupidity.Rudeness is becoming commonplace in thiscountry as we grow impatient with ourselvesand take our frustrations out on those aroundus.Please, before you pick up the phone and
start yelling at the voice on the other end, takea moment to assess your situation, formulateyour concerns in an understandable way andperhaps try asking for assistance instead ofbeing a jackass. Reality shows that promotethis type of behaviour are just that: scriptedreality shows.Be kind. Show your positive character and
manners in every interaction of every day and Ipromise you your life will be so much healthi-er, happier and wonderful. Be Canadian.And to the disgraceful companies that treat
your customer service staff like disposablerobots and your customers as nothing more
than ATMs, smarten up. Dont be such greedyjackasses.

Were being misledAs one drives out of Vancouver towards
Abbotsford, one can see the hundreds of mil-lions of government-borrowed money beingspent on very expensive short-term projects.When the projects are completed and the
senior governments overall debt total isrevealed, we will wonder if we were misled intobelieving our current economy is one of thebest.In downtown Vancouver and Victoria, there
should be a thermometer-like display whichdaily registers the debt of our senior govern-ments. Without this current information avail-able to all, we can and are being easily misled.

Anew hub for drivers and vehicles is looking forthe green light on environmental standards.The Insurance Corp. of B.C.s new driverlicensing centre in Port Coquitlam has beencompleted, and has now registered to meet theLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design(LEED) gold standard for building design.Located at 1930 Oxford Connector, the facility
boasts a variety of environmentally friendly featuresdesigned to benefit both patrons and staff andmarks the beginning of ICBCs foray into green con-struction.Its very exciting. Its our first LEED building,
said Nancy Scott, ICBCs facilities planning manager,adding that all Crown corporations are mandatedto build nothing less than LEED gold. Weve neverdone that before, so we had to walk all throughthat process and learn all of that. Its very excitingbecause it meets our energy policy guidelines, andwere proud to be part of that whole sustainabilitynotion.Recycled rubber flooring was laid inside the build-
ing, and bioswales were installed to remove silt andpollution from surface runoff water.A lighting rethink also plays a big part in reducing
the facilitys carbon footprint. Perimeter day lightingwas configured to help naturally light the building,and motion sensors were placed throughout thecentre to ensure energy use is kept to a minimum.Behind the scenes, ICBC staff are being supported
to make environmental choices, too. Bike racksallow employees to store their rides, and showers letstaff clean up after a vigorous commute to the office.Meeting the LEED gold standard was no small feat
for the Port Coquitlam facility, which spans 9,000square feet (835 square metres) on a three-acre(1.2-hectare) parcel of land just south of LougheedHighway.Given its nature as a driver training and testing
facility, the PoCo centre had to be able to accom-modate ample parking and an asphalt surface somotorcycle, bus and tractor-trailer operators couldbe tested on site.Our requirements are kind of unique because
we need a large lot for the building, a large lot fortruck testing and a large lot for motorcycle testing,Scott said. Finding the right piece of property wasimportant to us.To mitigate the environmental effects of the facil-
ity, locally sourced paving and asphalt were used to
create a pervious pavement structure.Other site requirements included ready access to a
highway for testing purposes and a facility that couldbe easily navigated by new drivers. The location ofthe full-service facility is also intended to serve theburgeoning Tri-Cities population, as the previousLougheed Highway and Coquitlam Centre locationshave been consolidated into the PoCo facility.This is a young, growing community, Scott
said. It will also serve that young growing com-munity and market area of Port Coquitlam, and PittMeadows to a point, and Coquitlam and Port Moody.We had a staff meeting and we were told they did
400 transactions in one day. Its busy. Its very busythere.The Canada Green Building Councils third-
party LEED rating system follows internationallyaccepted benchmarks for the design, constructionand operation of high performance green buildings.Each project must meet certain prerequisites in fiveareas: sustainable site development, water efficiency,energy efficiency, materials selection and indoorenvironmental quality. According to the councilswebsite, the LEED certification process takes at least13 weeks following registration.

Keep fears in perspectiveWith two recent head-lines about allegedcriminal misconducton the part of teachers, Iwonder how many of the localparent populationhave been losingsleep. Since themoment I becamea mom, I abruptlystopped being ableto watch WorldVision adverts,cannot watchfilms with kids inperil (the invis-ible cloak scenein Crash is a good example)and nearly threw up when aBritish friend forwarded an e-mail regarding James Bulger.To be honest, I hardly had
the strongest stomach forviolence or harm in the firstplace, but once I became amom it added a whole dif-ferent perspective. I wincedat the radio as I listened tothe prospect that young chil-dren in our community hadallegedly been victims of aserious breach of trust from ateacher.Just being a mom is
responsibility enough to driveyou to a healthy paranoia, butadd to that the need to entrustyour loved ones to strangers(teachers or daycare work-ers) and the concern levelramps up. I decided from thestart that I wanted a groupdaycare for my kids, in partbased on my belief that wherethere is more than one stafferthey can keep an eye on each
other. This is always the casein a school, of course, whichmakes the recent allegationsall the more unnerving.So how do we make
sure that werenot checkingourselves intoRiverview everytime we hear newslike this? Once mykids could talk, Ifelt a little betterbecause they hadthe skills to letme know if theywere OK or, more
importantly, if they were not(in the case of Son, it justmeant that he told me himselfwhen he bit another child atdaycare). I also take comfortin having Daughter enrolledat Personal Best for karate not so much for the karateor self-defence training, butmore for the personal safetyinstruction provided.One of the biggest chal-
lenges as a parent is effectivecommunication (gettingthem to listen, to understand,etc.), and here its a fineline between empoweringand scaring. Trying to havea direct conversation aboutstranger danger and personalsafety could have resulted inDaughter developing a fear ofopening the front door for amonth or nightmares for thenext year, and as someonewho is known for talking tojust about everyone I meet, Ifeel strongly that I dont wantmy kids to grow up too scared
to live life.The reality is that we cant
personally protect our chil-dren for the rest of their lives,so we need to give them toolsto look after themselves: theirfinances, health, social skillsand, yes, personal safety.And if, like me, you still
have moments where yourewincing at the radio and wantto run to your child to hugthem, just think, if we alllose the plot and check intoRiverview, whos going to lookafter our kids? We may aswell try to stay sane and keepthings in perspective.
