Head over heels in laughter
On Saturday night my friend and I attended
an event at the Delta Grand Okanagan Hotel honouring the former mayor of Kelowna and two longtime councillors. I pulled my car up to the building, grumbled there was no valet parking and headed to its parkade.
When I approached the entrance my pal, Jennifer Long, told me to stop the car and jumped out to buy a pass from the machine. As she did I answered a couple
of texts on my phone. A few minutes later I thought I heard a feeble “Lori?” coming from outside the car.
Looking back I could see my beautiful friend in her elegant dress and five-inch heels bending over as if she were picking up something from the ground while a car waited for her to move. I was about to get out to help, but suddenly she’d hobbled up to the passenger door, slid onto the seat in an awkward position and held her face up in the air with her hands.
“I think I broke my nose,” she said as blood poured out of it. “And my teeth.”
With her chin held
high to keep the blood from getting on her dress she pulled the visor down and inspected her reflection in the mirror.
“How do I know if I broke my nose?” she asked. “Do you have a cloth?”
I was already fumbling around my husband’s car looking for napkins or tissue.
“What in the hell happened to you?” I asked, reaching for the only thing I could find—a grubby wash rag.
Oddly I felt my initial concern transitioning into a suppression of laughter.
“You didn’t see any of that?” she asked
in shock. “Nothing? I just had the most embarrassing moment of my life and you missed the entire thing?”
“I was texting,” I said, trying to sound serious and remain stony-faced. “I thought you were just picking up coins or something.”
“Coins?” she asked, her eyes penetrating mine. “You thought I was picking up coins?”
“Yes,” I said, doing everything in my power to kill the unintentional smile I felt sprouting on my face. I asked her if she wanted me to take her to the hospital, but before I could finish the question my voice got high and started to crack. The laugh I’d been trying to stifle escaped—and it didn’t just erupt out of me, but out of her too.
As she entertainingly explained how her heel got caught in a hole in the cement and she suddenly found herself falling forward, she said she conducted a full on debate inside her head as she tumbled.
“I’m OK,” she had thought to herself. “No, I think I’m falling. No, I couldn’t be.
“Now I’m on my knees? Now I’m falling further? Weird. Guess I’m really falling. What the hell? My nose just fully crashed into the pavement. And it was so loud! But I’m still alive?”
After trying to break the fall with her arms she motioned towards me and whimpered my name.
“Huh?” her thoughts continued.
“How am I going to get into that car from
here?”By now we were
laughing so hard we were actually crying as she continued to wipe away the blood with the dirty cloth while noticing the big runs in her nylons and her bloody knees.
“Maybe we should go to the hospital?” I repeated, as I looked at the road rash on her nose and forehead.
“I’m okay,” she said. “It just really hurts.”
As we walked to the hotel we marvelled at how she could go from an upright walking position one moment, to landing directly on her face with the full force of her body weight seconds later.
“I’m always left wondering what my most embarrassing moment is whenever that subject comes up,” she said.
“Now I’ve got a story to tell.”
Fortunately she appears to be all right and the fall that should have broken her nose did not. It didn’t ruin her evening either, and unless we told people what happened, no one knew.
Hopefully the hotel has some video footage they can share so we can see what those people in the car witnessed.
I certainly learned why we’re encouraged to put our phones down and pay attention to what’s happening around us. Good or bad, it’s often worth seeing.

SANDY MCRUER/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Members of the Alberni Valley Outdoor Club enjoy a stroll at the mouth of Cous Creek, where it runs into the Alberni Inlet, at low tide.
Hiking with others a good way to learn about the community
When I first came to the Alberni
Valley way back in 1985, I was eager to explore the fabled back-country of Vancouver Island.
But being new in the community, I had to find like-minded people to show me what was out there and to be hiking companions.
When I found the Alberni Valley Outdoor Club, I knew immediately that here was a treasure of knowledge on local trails.
Starting in the 1970s this club has been around for more than 40 years and some of the members have been around from the start and are still going strong. Besides hiking, members have been known to canoe, snowshoe, kayak, and even partake in a little mountaineering and rock-climbing.
The club is open to newcomers. And a current trip schedule is posted on their website, albernivalley outdoorclub.wordpress.com. Most
of the hikes are day trips. They have a policy of permitting non-members two trips with the club before they have to join.
The cost is hardly onerous. It’s $25 each, or for two or a family $45. For this you also become members of the Federation of Mountain Clubs of BC and pay for some liability insurance in case of injury. For safety, the club insists that people contact the trip leader listed
on the schedule or amended on the Facebook page if you want to participate in an outing. This way the leader can gauge a person’s experience and recommend appropriate equipment, clothing, and footwear.
When you show up you’ll be asked to sign a waiver, but otherwise there is no cost.
Low elevation day-trips dominate in the spring and early summer. Coming up in May are hikes to the Sproat Lookout in the Community Forest, a hike down to Cous Creek to see the wildflower show there at that time of year, a snowshoe, ski or hike through a pass between Marion Creek, a tributary to the Kennedy River, and the headwaters of the Effingham River.

From / A4There is also a
canoe/kayak trip through Ash Lake to Dixon Lake.
Later in the season, when the snow is mostly gone off the mountains, climbing the local peaks is more popular. Most of them are steep, but don’t require ropes and specialized equipment. Just a bit
of scrambling.As things cool
off in the late fall, the club generally takes a break for the Thanksgiving and Christmas period before resuming in the new year.
FEEDBACK...From Finding Trails (April 7):
• Darren Saare : “Another method we have discovered
for finding trails—both obscure and popular—is through geocaching.com. We got bored of the actual geocaching but looking at the available map, description and hidden caches often points us to areas that we were previously unaware of. Keep up the good work.”
• Judy Carlson:
“I’ve also found Open Street Map useful for some trails-—they have a more accurate map of Maplehurst Trails than the ACRD one, and the Rogers Creek Nature Trail to Maquinna Trails area is shown in more detail than I have found elsewhere. Only problem is I haven’t been able to print it out as a map.”
Readers weigh in on trail finding
The Port Alberni Youth Centre Society is teaming up with WestJet again this year to raffle off a voucher for a trip for two to anywhere in the world that WestJet flies.
The society owns and operates the youth centre at 4210 Cedarwood St. The centre is purposed for youth activities
for all residents of the Alberni Valley, and is presently home to the Navy League and Sea Cadet corps as well as the Centennial Belles.
All youth activities are welcomed and the property can be made available for events.
The PAYC society is raising funds to continue renovating and maintaining the youth centre.
The tickets are $10 each and are available from the following local businesses:
Alberni Colour Corner Benjamin Moore; Alberni Valley News; AV Times; Animal Ark; Beaver Creek Market; Boomerangs; Cruisers Grill (Whiskey Creek); Ecuador & More; Global Securities; Kismet Quilts; M & D
Automotive; Valley Wines & Water; any Youth Centre Society member.
The draw will be made Sept. 19 at 4 p.m. at the Toy Run.
For more information about the youth centre, search for Port Alberni Youth Centre on Facebook.
