21 | Thursday, October 23, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Third annual Feast for Good tickets on sale now Every meal at Mye Japanese is a feast, but on Thursday, Nov. 13 the restaurant will celebrate 27 years in business in conjunction with the third annual Feast for Good fundraiser in support of the New Oakville Hospital. On this night at Mye 2 Restaurant, located at 360 Dundas St. West, guests who have purchased tickets in advance will be treated to a casual meal in the open-concept restaurant, with sake experts from Ozawa Canada offering Japan's best selections and live oyster shucking from The Mermaid and the Oyster. They'll enjoy drinks courtesy of E. & J. Gallo Winery, Sleeman and Sapporo and dance to music played on audio equipment provided by Gear Music. Feast for Good was started by Mye owner Motoaki Aoki as an expression of his gratitude to the community. Launched three years ago to coincide with the restaurant's 25th anniversary, the event has raised $125,000 to date and Aoki's daughter, Sayaka, says they hope to raise another $20,000 this year between ticket sales and raffle tickets for a door prize. Sayaka explains that the Oakville Hospital is near and dear to her father's heart. It was the place his only Canadianborn child was delivered and is a central part of the community that has welcomed him, his family, and his restaurants over the years. When Motoaki came to Canada in 1986, personally invited by then mayor Harry Barrett to open a Japanese restaurant in the Town, he didn't know his venture would be so well accepted. Twenty-seven years and two restaurants later, he and his family are happy to give back to the community by donating all sales for the event to the Oakville Hospital Foundation in support of the New Oakville Hospital, and look forward to future expansion of the restaurant in the near future. Tickets are $150 per person and are available at both the Mye and Mye 2 locations, or can be reserved by calling the downtown location at 905-849-8989 or uptown at 905-257-7777.

Oakville MYERESTAURANT.CA ADVERTORIAL Teen driving: Take the responsible road While an RBC Insurance survey1 shows that 9 in 10 parents rate their teens as fairly good drivers, many teenagers still fall prey to common driving misconceptions. "Being a teenage driver isn't easy. You're developing a new skill and learning the rules of the road, and because of this, are more likely to fall victim to myths," explains Natalie Dupuis, Senior Product Manager, Auto, RBC Insurance. "The consequences of making a mistake on the road can have serious ramifications, including the impact to your pocketbook, with teens in an accident seeing substantial increases in premiums upwards of 50%. However, knowing what types of mistakes you're most likely to commit can help teens make the right driving decisions." While a number of these activities are already illegal, still many dangerous driving misconceptions persist. To help set the record straight, RBC Insurance debunks the three most common driving misconceptions among teens: Myth: "I can safely text or talk on my phone while driving." Fact: Cell phones are a significant visual and cognitive distraction for drivers, with average "eyes off the road" times that increase the risk of collision considerably. Drivers engaged in text messaging on a cell phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event than non-distracted drivers.2 Myth: "I've only had one drink so I'm fine to drive." Fact: Any amount of alcohol impairs driving and increases the risk of collision. Even one drink can cloud your thinking, dim your vision and slow your reflexes. Alcohol also affects your attention span, alertness and coordination. A driver with a blood alcohol content of 0.10% is 50 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver with no blood alcohol content.3 Myth: "Driving under the influence of cannabis is not as bad as driving under the influence of alcohol." Fact: Your driving ability can be impaired by pot just as much as it can be impaired by alcohol, as both can impact your ability to concentrate and lower your reaction time. In fact, drivers between 16 and 24 years old are equally split between drinking-driver fatalities (27.6%) and drug-positive driver fatalities (26.9%).4 To learn more, visit www.rbcinsurance.com/ insuranceneeds/safety-tips-for-teenage-drivers.html 2012 RBC Parent and Teen Driving Study.
