Memorial Tea for John Badanic

Memorial tea for John Badanic, who passed away while fishing Sept 26:  

John & Mary have spent over 20 years at their home-away-from-home on Thetis Island, which he really considered his true home.  

Please join us at Forbes Hall from 1-3 on Saturday November 3 for tea, coffee and the baked goodies that John liked so much.

Bring stories to share or just say hello to friends & family.

Guide to BC's Electoral Reform Referendum: by DoubleBlindScience

A five-minute video on how the choices work ~ well worth the watch, it simplifies the information.

Comment ~ Connie More

I'm delighted to see this informative short video about our current opportunity to change to a more fair and democratic Proportional Representation voting system. You may also wish to consult your Elections BC Voter's Guide if you want to answer the optional question #2, although this clip's concise systems descriptions are brilliant (DMP=simplest; MMP=most used; RUP=most choice). It's also fine to simply answer question #1, and I hope that readers support Pro Rep. There are some strange misleading comments and some outright lies coming from the "no PR" side, so balance can be found by consulting 

https://prorepfactcheck.ca/

There's also a non-partisan questionnaire that helps you to match your preferences with any of the 4 systems (First Past the Post and the 3 Pro Rep options): http://referendumguide.ca/lime/index.php/2018

Right of Way

Several drivers on Thetis do not know this important information, or if they do, choose to ignore it: “If you are pulling out of a driveway, whether it is a residential driveway or from a parking lot, and into traffic, you must always yield right of way to the drivers in the street. Any time you move into the flow of traffic out of a driveway, drivers already moving have the right of way over your vehicle, and you must wait until the traffic clears to proceed.

Right of way is one of the things that are taken into consideration by both police when handing out traffic violations and by insurance companies when determining fault in an accident. When in doubt, always yield the right of way to any vehicle that is already moving in a forward direction on a street or any time you are moving from a stopped position into the flow of traffic. You’ll prevent accidents and car insurance rate increases.”

And of course you will lower the risk of injury or death.  Please STOP at the end of your driveway and LOOK.
