Choir program connects communities Tours bring music of Kathaumixw to province and beyond SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

Since its inception in 1984, International Choral Kathaumixw festival has grown in size and reputation. The 18th biennial event owes its success to the countless individuals in Powell River and beyond who volunteer their time and open their homes to visiting singers from around the world. One of the popular offshoots of the festival is the touring

program, which involves participating choirs visiting communities throughout the province and beyond. The program was initially devised by Richard Hibberd, a founding member of the Kathaumixw festival, as a way to support Powell River Academy of Music while bringing the music and cultural exchange of Kathaumixw to a wider audience. Hibberd passed away last year at the age of 91, but the legacy of the tours program he founded continues to build. “He created this because he wanted a way to help the academy and to keep it growing” said current tour committee member Pam Wadden. In the early days of the Kathaumixw festival, Hibberd used his connections as a member of the BC Choral Federation to get the tour program off the ground and $479,000 LOVELY MODULAR

organized the bulk of logistics on his own. “I came on board to help out in 1990,” said Hibberd’s sister Shirley Koleszar. “I had retired from teaching and started working with Richard because it was just too much to do on his own.” Betty Norman joined the tour committee in 1992 and remains part of the current organizing group along with Wadden, Martin Osbourne, Lee Coulter and Cindy Dalcourt. “Back when they started doing this it was before computers, before email,” said Wadden. “Everything was written down on paper.” Today, technology helps the organizers, but there is still a huge amount of work that goes into pulling off a successful tour, she added. »2

The work begins in the fall the year before the festival, said Koleszar. It starts with reaching out to communities and asking if they would like to host choirs, she added. Wadden said the positive response and generosity of people always amazes her. “I’m always surprised at how many people are willing to say ‘Sure, we’ll take a choir of 50 people. I’ll find billets for every one of them. Sure we’ll give them lunch, we’ll feed them dinner and drive them places and they’re going to sing for us once.’” she said. “It still surprises me to this day when I get the email back saying ‘Yes, we’ll do it again.’” Another key piece of the

arranging is finding the right people to lead the choirs on their tours. “The tour guides are a super important component of the program,” said Wadden. “You need the greatest people. They have to be on 24/7 the entire time they’re gone. Those tour guides fix everything and they are just happy to be there showing these people everything.” This year’s guides are Cindy and Andre Dalcourt, Peggy Ogloff, Nancy and Alex Hollman, Carol Stokes and Inge-Lore Freeman. Tours have taken choirs to every part of the province as well as Calgary and Washington State. “The biggest tours involved 31 communities and 12 choirs,” said Koleszar. Once the choirs are on the

road, there is a lot of troubleshooting and problem solving the committee deals with. Ferries are inevitably late and some connections get missed. “There is always some stress behind the scenes when something breaks down or somebody doesn’t get where they should,” said Norman. “But there are so many good memories, too.” Koleszar said it was the philosophy behind the tour program that initially attracted her to become involved. “When you travel thousands of miles you might as well have a look around,” she said. “And the people in communities throughout BC enjoy hearing worldclass choirs. It’s a win-win situation.”

Short-term accommodation regulation moves forward Listings increasing steadily in Powell River, says city senior planner DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

Since 2016, short-term rentals in Powell River, including Airbnb and other online platforms that offer vacation properties for a few nights, have increased from about 20 to more than 50 units in June 2018. But City of Powell River does not have any policies in its Sustainable Official Community Plan for shortterm rentals, according to a report delivered to committee of the whole on July 3 by senior planner Daniella Fergusson. “We’ve been watching shortterm listings from May 2016 and they’re steadily increasing and still going up,” said Fergusson. The city hired a consultant to conduct public engagement opportunities and look at other communities that are similar in size, as well as having similar goals, such as increasing the share of tourism in local economies, according to Fergusson. In order to gauge opinion on the issue, approximately 300 residents participated in stakeholder inter-

views, public information meetings and an online survey between November 2017 and February 2018. “We’re heading in the right direction between a balance of regulation and freedom for people to rent their available accommodation and I’m very pleased at that,” said city councillor Rob Southcott, who attended all of the public engagement sessions. From those meetings, the city and its consultant, Whistler Centre for Sustainability, arrived at recommendations that support a moderate expansion of shortterm rental accommodations in the city, including: • Requiring a business licence for operation and advertising shortterm rentals • Allowing full-dwelling home rentals that are non-strata, primary residence properties only, with only one unit rented at any time, and in single-family zones only • Capping the number of shortterm rentals at 50 units • Allowing rentals year-round • Limiting the number of people occupying the unit and requiring a parking space for each room rented Background research and survey responses indicate: • 56 per cent of residents support the regulation of short-term rentals • Two-thirds support the ex-

pansion of short-term rental opportunities • 92 per cent support short-term rental opportunities in primary residences • Respondents support shortterm rentals in single-family homes and their secondary suites • Respondents support shortterm rentals in all neighbourhoods in Powell River Concerns have been raised by

Powell River bed and breakfast operators, who Fergusson said are at a disadvantage when compared to Airbnb because the online platform allows anyone to host people in their homes. “They’re not requiring proof that somebody is running a business or someone has a business licence or had a health and safety check at their home,” said Fergusson. “The barriers to list online are very easy

and someone who is running a bed and breakfast has more stringent controls.” Operators of bed and breakfasts in Powell River must hold a valid business licence. Accommodations must be a maximum of four bedrooms for up to eight people and no cooking facilities are allowed. The maximum length of stay is 60 calendar days per year.

Catalyst unions ratify contract A union source at the mill in Powell River said Local 1 voted 91 per cent and Local 76 voted 74 per cent in favour of the contract. The Local 76 agreement includes a two per cent wage increase in the first year, one per cent the second year and then one per cent every six months afterward, according to the source. Two per cent is in keeping with the 2018 inflation rate in Canada, which is approxi-

mately two per cent. The union source said Local 76 workers receive nothing back from what they gave in concessions in 2012 when Unifor agreed to wage rollbacks and a 1.5 per cent loss in holiday pay. Under the new arrangement, holiday pay will return to 2012 levels at the end of this contract in 2021 but the graduated training wage for new hires at the mill will be eliminated that same year.

Beach volleyball is not an activity that garners a lot of interest from residents in Powell River, according to city director of parks, recreation and culture Ray Boogaards. But that’s what was said about disc golf and there are lineups at the Larry Gouthro and Sunset Park courses. Now mayor and council, youth council, parks and recreation, Powell River Volleyball Association and School District 47 are taking up the cause of beach volleyball. “We’re hoping to bring volleyball courts to Powell River and we think it will be strongly supported, but what’s the best location for it?” said school district superintendent Jay Yule, who represented the district and Powell River Volleyball Association at the committee of the whole meeting on June 5. Yule said the volleyball association thinks the best place is the south parking area at Willingdon Beach. The city’s youth council agreed, saying it was a fantastic location, according to city councillor CaroleAnn Leishman. Youth council passed a motion at its last meeting of the year, recommending that the Willingdon location is ideal for proper courts and that city staff should be directed to remove all the gravel on the lot and plant grass throughout the area for the purpose of creating a multi-sport recreation field for numerous activities, including beach volleyball. The sport requires special sand and construction for official competitive courts. What currently exists at Willingdon Beach does not meet those standards. Willingdon is not the right spot, according to Boogaards. “The suggestion of Willingdon Beach is not recommended by staff,” said Boogaards at the June 5 meeting. “This is a space being used by a number of groups throughout the summer months and at the same time period as beach volleyball would be using it. We’re losing more and more of that space for special events.” Boogaards recommended to council that his department meet with community stakeholders to determine the best course of action, find the best suitable location and report to council. Mowat Bay is an option, according to Boogaards, and Yule said he is open to that location. “There’s beach volleyball courts in almost every city,” said Yule. “It’s a growing sport. Our students play in provincial and high

school championships but we’re at a huge disadvantage because we have no courts.” Brooks Secondary School volleyball players Katie Trevisanutto, 16, and Quinn Elzer, 16, said Powell River needs courts. “People will come out more to play,” said Elzer. “It’s super fun and really easy. Just come down to a beach for a few hours and hit the ball around.” But Elzer added that the city needs far better courts than the one currently at the beach. Trevisanutto, who has competed at tournaments in Parksville, where they have 18 courts and a rigorous program, said Powell River’s only court at Willingdon Beach is unsuitable for competitive events. “We definitely need one here,” said Trevisanutto. “It would spark interest more because everyone plays court volleyball and there isn’t a lot of competitive interest toward beach even though it’s really a great game. I’ll have a place to practice without being worried about getting scrapes from these nasty rocks.”

Province approves name

Powell River Regional District has a new identity. The provincial government has officially approved its new name: qathet Regional District. The announcement was made on Thursday, July 5, by BC minister of municipal affairs and housing Selina Robinson. In June 2017, Tla’amin Nation elders gifted the word “qathet” to the regional district. Pronounced “KA-thet,” it means “working together.” In a media release, regional district chair Patrick Brabazon said the name “qathet” is a wonderful evolu-

Brabazon extended thanks to Robinson, minister of indigenous relations and reconciliation Scott Fraser and Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons. “Congratulations to the qathet Regional District on their new name,” said Simons. “I look forward to the ongoing and rewarding process of reconciliation, and appreciate all efforts being made towards that goal.”

Regional district releases referendum details Residents to vote on recreation complex contribution this fall DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

A referendum in the fall general election will decide if residents in Powell River Regional District Electoral Areas A, B and C are willing to contribute $178,000 to the cost of operating Powell River Recreation Complex. “The directors wanted a number that would possibly have a chance of being acceptable,” said regional district chief administrative officer Al Radke. The amount is far less than the approximate $550,000 City of Powell River was looking for and it will not be known if $178,000 will be forthcoming until the result of the referendum in October. “We had to come up with some sort of rationale,” said regional district chair and Area A director Patrick Brabazon, who arrived at the decision collectively with Area B alternate director Alan Rebane and Area C director Colin Palmer. “The city asked for $550,000; not going to happen,” said Brabazon. “None

of the three directors involved thought we had any hope of going to the people for that amount.” The question that will be posed in October is: Are you in favour of the Powell River Regional District adopting Bylaw No. 530 to establish with Electoral Areas A, B and C a service for the purpose of providing financial assistance to the City of Powell River for providing regional recreational services and to authorize a maximum annual taxation of $178,500 or $0.153249 per $1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater? In arriving at the amount, Radke said the regional district estimated that rural residents, excluding Texada Island and Lasqueti Island, use 32.52 per cent of the facilities in the recreation complex, including the swimming pool, fitness centre and the skating rink. “We left the arena out as we considered that Powell River Kings territory and residents in the rural area only need one rink to skate on, not two, not enough population to rationalize,” said Radke. He said 32.53 per cent of $546,666 amounted to $177,778, rounded up to $178,800. The number was not purely arbitrary, according to Radke, and the regional district has a sense of confidence that

tion for the district. “We graciously accept this gift and give many thanks to the elders for the name itself and for their time, effort and research, truly an example of working together for the benefit of all,” stated Brabazon. The name change is a new beginning for the regional district, serving as a cultural link and forming an intergovernmental relationship with Tla’amin Nation, according to a statement released on new qathet Regional District letterhead. The name will nurture an unmistakable identity for a vast and varied region of land, water, islands, resources, people and culture, according to the statement. Following a public engagement process that ended in October 2017, the regional board made a formal request to Robinson for the name change. In November 2017 the board narrowly approved qathet in a four to three decision.

it will at least be considered by voters. Sharing the cost of the $4 million dollar annual budget for the recreation complex between the region’s three governments has been discussed since 2016. At the time, mayor Dave Formosa said the cost to operate the complex had become too heavy a burden for city taxpayers alone. For decades, the regional district and the city have been at odds about whether the regional district was paying its fair share, according to Brabazon. Radke said recreational cost-sharing is not exclusive to Powell River. “This funding issue is a nation-wide ordeal; we are not doing this in isolation,” he said. “Each year municipalities and rural sectors are coming to agreement on terms. The secret is there has to be an appetite and it has taken over 40 years to have the conversation here in Powell River.” City councillor Russell Brewer, who sits as one of two municipal directors on the regional district board, said $178,000 is better than nothing. “It’s a positive step that’s been discussed for a long time,” said Brewer. “With any negotiation, if you can get all the parties to move a little it’s better than nothing at all and walking out of the room in a huff.”

Biking bonus Driving from Westview to Townsite without thinking about bicycles has been nearly impossible of late, regardless of the chosen route. Work recently completed or currently underway involves heavy equipment and traffic controllers, not bicycles, but the end result will be beneficial to those who choose two-wheeled transport for commuting to work or school, or solely for recreation. Hence the thoughts of gleeful, omnipresent cyclists who have waited patiently for improvements to the routes that connect the two neighbourhoods. BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure continues to upgrade sections of Highway 101/Marine Avenue between Willingdon Beach and Hemlock Street in Townsite, which will make that route safer for cyclists (and pedestrians), and phase four of City of Powell River’s Municipal Cycling Plan was slowing traffic along Manson Avenue in June. The result of these two initiatives, whether intended specifically for cyclists or not, provides a litDedicated bike lanes and shared tle more room lanes make travelling from for anyone nervous about Westview to Townsite, through pedalling Cranberry or along Marine, a little along Powell easier on the nerves for those who River’s busiest routes for perceived the routes as dangerous vehicle trafbefore the improvements. fic. Dedicated bike lanes and shared lanes make travelling from Westview to Townsite, through Cranberry or along Marine, a little easier on the nerves for those who perceived the routes as dangerous before the improvements. Now all wannabe cyclists require is ambition, determination and inspiration to dust of their bikes, tune them up and try out the new lanes. The arrival of the 600 athletes competing in stage three of BC Bike Race on Monday, July 9, just might provide that needed inspiration. The mere presence of the competitors will also make it difficult to not think about cycling. Sure, the single-track stage race takes place in trails throughout Powell River’s backcountry, but the spectacle itself shines a light on the option to spend more time using a self-propelled mode of transport in the bush or on the road. Upon arrival on Sunday, July 8, after getting settled in their camp at Willingdon Beach, race entrants and support teams will be swarming the area, warming up or making sure equipment is working properly. Here’s hoping the sights and sounds of the epic sporting event rubs off on a few locals. Who knows, maybe one of them will enter the race next year. How about you?

CROSSWORD

Should the summer be a politics-free zone? I come from Saskatchewan, where politics dominated conversations over the long winter months. But everyone accepted that, starting with Canada Day, people took a break from political debates and activists, like me, agreed to a time out. Any effort to break the convention was met with rejection if not outright disapproval. At the end of the summer it wasn’t just back to school, it was back to politics. That was when politics seemed less partisan. But it’s always tempting to look back and imagine the good old days. As some wag once said, “Things aren’t as good as they used to be, and they never were.” Our brains are pretty good at allowing us to forget the worst stuff in our memories. Yet if we work at it we can recall lots of conflicts and stresses from the past. Even so, the world today does seem scarier, more insecure, unpredictable and threatening than in the recent past. The number

COUNTERPOINT By Murray Dobbin

of people I engage in just casual conversation who are avoiding listening to or watching the news seems at an all-time high, with many recognizing that rationing the amount of news they take in is a way of protecting themselves from feelings of despair. With climate change, growing inequality and refugees, added to their own insecurities, it’s hard for people to cope. The difficulty is we are supposed to feel compassion for others facing situations much worse than our own. It is our nature to feel for the hundreds of thou-

sands of Rohingya refugees forced from their homes in Myanmar, for Palestinians shot in the thousands by Israel snipers just for demonstrating for their rights, for Syrian families trying to escape both ISIL atrocities and the bombing aimed at crushing them. The most frightening threat is in the form of United States president Donald Trump. It’s still difficult to believe the most powerful man in the world is so overtly cruel, racist, misogynist, and characterized by a vengeful tribalism. His policies in the US have some predicting widespread civil unrest. He has the whole world, including Canada, holding its breath waiting for his next outrage. While we obviously need to be informed about the world, we also need to protect ourselves against the relentless psychological hits from the daily news. We can’t stop Trump and we don’t have to immerse ourselves in the media’s obsession with every move he makes. What makes it worse is

the fact that the last 30 years have seen the gradual erosion of community and protection it gives us. We are increasingly isolated from each other. Not only are we subject to countless demoralizing news stories, we consume them alone. That lends itself to the belief that all that is good in humanity has truly disappeared. But living in Powell River we know that isn’t true. While people tell me community has suffered here, too, it is still alive and with great potential. How do we build that potential? The city has a program that could make a real difference. Called Resilient Streets, it provides seed money for block parties and other efforts at community building. There is up to $250 and other assistance available. Turn off the television. Get to know your neighbours. The world will not only look better, it will be better.

6« HEALTHY LIVING restless spirit and mastery of food and words were displayed weekly. In a small hotel, while in rural France, filming for his television show, Bourdain recently took his own life. What can we think when someone we admire and is, on the surface, a successful and empowered person, chooses to end their own life? There is nothing good that comes out of any suicide, however, when a celebrity or role model makes this choice, the small silver lining is the conversation that occurs. Suicide and its nefarious cousins: depression and anxiety, thrive in the darkness of isolation and misinformation. When we open windows of conversation, a healing, connecting light can shine on previously stigmatized topics. Fashion designer Kate Spade, who also took her own life recently, had publicly stated she avoided getting help for depression because of its possible negative effect on her brand. Trauma and emotional pain are often hidden behind a thin veneer of happiness and, on the surface, success. For all the stories of defeat and pain, there are many more

tales of healing, recovery and triumph over the agony we carry around like a lead block in a knapsack. Stories of lightness and hope are sometimes passed by in our accelerated, sensationalizing media culture. We can use tragedy as a healing tool and celebrate the love and empowerment that accompanies recovery from addiction and mental illness. There are successful treatments. We never really know what’s going on inside someone’s mind or where they are emotionally. Simple acts of compassion and empathy can be the first step in someone reaching out of the dark for help. The Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Centre of BC has a toll-free line and they’re available 24 hours per day, seven days per week at 1.800.784.2433. Powell River has many services easily accessible in town, as well. Show compassion and reach out. For young and old, it is the best behaviour of all to model.

On the afternoon of Sunday, July 8, 300 tents will pop up on Willingdon Beach, signally the impending arrival of 600 mountain bikers from around the world who will compete in the gruelling BC Bike Race (BCBR). Of all eight stages of the race, including Cowichan Valley,

Camp attracts indigenous youth Four-day program offers fun, mentoring and learning opportunities at Outdoor Learning Centre SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

Indigenous high school students have the opportunity to participate in a four-day camping experience later this month at Powell River’s Outdoor Learning Centre. Thuy’she’num Tu Smun’eem: Building a Foundation for our Youth summer camp is being organized by students in Vancouver Island University’s ‘su’luqw’a’ Community Cousins Aboriginal Mentorship Program. Camps will take place in Duncan, Nanaimo and Powell River. The aim is to help students make the transition from high school to post-secondary education less daunting by providing the mentor-

ship and skills to thrive on a university campus. “These unique camps combine educational activities with cultural teachings,” said Amber Crittenden, one of the hosts of the Powell River camp. The program is being provided free of charge for students as a result of funding from the Peter Cundill Foundation, which promotes health, education and wellbeing of young people. The camps started last year on Vancouver Island with the goal of boosting the number of indigenous youth who make the move to post-secondary education, a number that is currently fewer than half of those who finish high school. Students will learn about VIU programming, financial literacy, self-awareness, and health and body image, as well as receiving elder teachings and plenty of fun outdoor activities. “There is definitely a strong cultural component in the programs,” said VIU aboriginal projects coordinator and elder support Sylvia Scow. “We have our elders who work at VIU involved. For Powell River, it will be Eugene Louie, an

elder from Tla’amin Nation.” Discovering that a new school could be a place to learn and evolve while keeping one’s cultural identity and pride is something Crittenden said she wants to share with other youth.

“I’m excited to show students that you don’t lose who you are when you come to VIU,” she added. “You are encouraged to celebrate your identity as an indigenous person.” There is still room in the Powell

Film featuring Lund to be broadcast nationally SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

A documentary by filmmakers Tai Uhlmann and Theo Angell about the unique community in Lund created by a group of 1960s United States draft dodgers

will be shown nationally on CBC starting in August. “It happened very organically,” said Uhlmann of the process of getting The End of the Road on the national broadcaster. “A friend recommended us to a director/ producer friend of hers, he

loved our film and passed it onto CBC and it went right up the chain of command.” Within a few weeks the film was approved, however, the 112-minute feature length needed to be condensed into a broadcast version of 44 minutes.

“We thought that would be a fun and interesting challenge,” said Uhlmann. Over the next year she and husband and co-director/ editor Angell proceeded to shorten the length of the film while preserving the integrity of the original story. “Somehow we managed to keep the feeling, the humanity and the flow of it,” said Uhlmann. The film looks at the community created by a group of young people who travelled Highway 101 until the literal end of the road in Lund, BC. Uhlmann is a child of this community. As a young adult she moved to San Francisco and New York, returning to live in Lund with Angell and their child. Although the film documents the time of the Vietnam War in US history, the draw of opting out of American society remains prevalent in today’s political climate, said Uhlmann. “I’m a dual citizen and lived half my life in the states,” she added. “I lived through George W. Bush getting elected and people

what it took to leave everything behind and come to the middle of the bush with no skills as far as living off the land,” she said. “They were well educated and political, but it took a real bravery, spirit and persistence.” A viewing party of the CBC premiere broadcast will take place at the Lund Pub starting at 5 pm on August 4.

Kings add experience and depth to blueline for upcoming season Top defender Mason Snell comes to Powell River in trade for Callum Volpe and Nick Abbott DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

KINGS DEAL: Powell River Kings rookie forward Nick Abbott and veteran defender Callum Volpe were traded to an Ontario-based team on Friday, June 29. ALICIA BAAS PHOTO

Powell River Kings last straight player trade was made in 2016. But on Friday, June 29, the hockey club sent two players and future considerations to Wellington Dukes of Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) for experienced defender Mason Snell, who was a standout on the blueline for the Dukes last season. Kings traded veteran defender Callum Volpe, rookie forward Nick Abbott and future considerations to Wellington for the 18-yearold Snell. Volpe became a King in the 2016/2017 BC Hockey League season. He dressed in 77 games and scored 42 points, including playoffs. Injury limited Abbott to five points in only 25 games last season. Last season, the 6-foot, 190-pound Snell shone during the Dukes run to an OJHL championship, the Dudley Hewitt Cup awarded to the central Canadian Junior A champion and at the Royal Bank Cup, Canada’s national Junior A hockey championship; he was named

top defender at the tournament Although ranked 173rd among North American skaters for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, he was not selected. Snell has committed to Penn State Nittany Lions in the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) Big Ten Conference. He is the third new blueliner Kings head coach and general manager Tyler Kuntz has added to his roster for the 2018/2019 season, showing he is not afraid to shake things up. Snell will join new defenders Ben Wozney and Brendan Saether at training camp in August. BCHL released its 2018/2019 schedule on June 29. Kings open at home on September 8 against Island Division rivals Victoria Grizzlies. Meanwhile, Gavin Rauser, who played three full seasons with the Kings, his last in 2017/2018 as captain of the team, has committed to Vancouver Island University (VIU) Mariners for the coming BC Island League Hockey season. Rauser played 140 games during his junior career with the Kings, scoring 71 points. A native of Campbell River, he plans to pursue a bachelor of science in biology at VIU. In other Kings-related news, Daniel Carr, who played with the team during the 2009/2010, has been signed by the NHL’s Las Vegas Golden Knights for $750,000. Carr played 38 games with Montreal Canadiens last season and was declared an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

What sweat really means when working out Dripping sweat and having a drenched shirt certainly add to that post-workout feeling of satisfaction, but what does sweat really mean about our workout intensity or weight loss? The answer is: Not much. Let’s take a look at our two types of sweat glands, apocrine and eccrine. Our apocrine system is our “emotional” sweat system, activated by stress, nervousness and the like, and is typically concentrated in the underarm and groin area. When you think about smelly sweat, or the sweat that leaves yellow stains, this is the culprit. Our eccrine system, on the other hand, is our “air conditioning system,” found from head to toes. This system activates when the outside temperature rises, or our body temperature rises. The cooling effect is achieved through the evaporation of sweat from our skin.

FRIDAY FLEX By Melissa Sloos

So when working out, and I know it’s counterintuitive, the more you wipe away your sweat, the more you sweat, since your body is trying to lower its temperature. As for the smell of our cooling sweat, it’s much “milder” than our emotional sweat. So sweat during exercise is more about cooling you down, rather than an indicator of intensity, a successful workout, or weight/calories

lost. There are many types of exercise that are not sweatinducing, but are excellent physically, mentally and for fat burning. We also need to consider that the amount we sweat depends on a variety of factors not related to temperature, which include sex, age, genetics, weight and how fit we are. Step on the scale post-workout and you’ll notice a drop, but this is water weight – your sweat – and now you need to replenish it by rehydrating. It is important to note, then, that topical creams that increase body temperature before your workout will definitely stimulate blood flow and heat in that area of your body, but the sweat is there only to cool you down, and has no impact on fat burning whatsoever. You cannot spottreat your body like that. And while some of these

products suggest they more quickly prepare you for exercise because your body is warmed, one should take care as a successful warmup does more than just warm the body, but lubricates the joints and sliding surfaces for the upcoming work. Joint safety is paramount to staying injury free. Before adopting something new into your workout regime or diet, always consult with a medical professional. Sweating will help beat the heat, and it does make me feel more successful postworkout, but it definitely does not mean anything in regard to intensity or weight loss. Just remember to do what you can with what you have where you are, and always prioritize the positive. Melissa Sloos is a certified group fitness instructor, spin instructor and studio manager at Coast Fitness.

Perspiring and hydration: Tips for summer 1. Trust your thirst cues. Eight glasses of water a day is a myth. Depending on your personal needs, diet, exercise, and the temperature, you may need more or less than that. Always keep a refillable bottle with you and you’ll never be without a refreshing sip to quench your thirst. 2. Think electrolytes. If you are heavily exerting yourself in the heat, water alone may not be enough. Sports drinks do have a benefit in this case, but I suggest looking for a low sugar option. 3. Train early or late. Consider changing your training schedule to early morning before the sun is at its peak, or later in the evening as the weather starts to cool. This will keep you from overheating, and possible dehydration. 4. Recognize signs of dehydration. Most of us have suffered from mild dehydration before. You feel a little foggy, or have a headache and dry mouth. Learn to recognize these signs so you nip dehydration in the bud, before it becomes more serious.

Ruby Elsie Roscovich Ruby Elsie Roscovich, age 102, passed away on Sunday, May 13, 2018, at her home at 4191 Manson Avenue in Powell River. She was born on April 8, 1916 in Edmonton, Alberta, to Martin and Albertine (Seeding) Deksne, recent immigrants from Riga, Latvia. Ruby was raised an only child on her muchbeloved farm at Tomahawk, Alberta.Favourite memories in her waning years were dominated by childhood activities on the farm. Her formal education culminated with a teaching degree from the University of Alberta. Her teaching career was launched in the difficult conditions of the rural schoolhouse program in the Great Depression, continuing on through the war years. In 1947, she met the returning war veteran, Frank Roscovich, at her latest posting in the coal-mining town of Sterco, Alberta. Unable to resist his charm, the two were soon married and the birth of their son, Glen, followed in good time. With the decline in the coal-mining industry, the young family headed to the West Coast looking for more reliable job opportunities, eventually settling in the booming, isolated pulp and paper town of Powell River. The birth of second son, Dale, followed soon as they settled in their new home near the top of Old Cooper Road (now Huntingdon Street) in Westview. Frank began work on a larger dwelling on an adjacent parcel where Ruby spent the remainder of her life. She employed her homemaking skills to full advantage, preserving the harvest from their extensive gardens as well as fish and game from Frank’s fall hunt and fishing trips. Community life and service always had a place in Ruby’s heart. She sang in the choir and taught Sunday school. She was also very active in welcoming and assisting newcomers to town, many whom remained lifelong friends. The early 1960s heralded a dawning of awareness of the environmental devastation resulting from unchecked industrial activities around the world, Powell River included. Ruby joined with other like-minded folks to create the Powell River Anti-Pollution Association and raise awareness of the wanton emissions of the local mill. Their persistence in monitoring, public education and drawing attention to this problem led to a massive decrease in harmful emissions and much more responsible operating guidelines. Ruby was a frequent commentator on public issues via letters to the editor and presentations to town council meetings. She helped introduce and promote the concepts of recycling and expansion of local bus service. Food as the best medicine is another practice she pursued throughout her life. The diet she created for husband Frank helped him maintain his health deep into old age. As for herself, there remains a tattered copy of How to Live to be 100 as evidence of her determination. Frank and Ruby were founding members of the Old Time Dance Club and the Powell River Naturalists Association. She was also keenly interested in the development and education of the children of friends and family and never forgot their birthdays. Deeply inspired by her grandmother, granddaughter Twyla went on to make an impact on coastal environmental concerns on a larger stage with her video activism. Her untimely death last September was a hard blow. The family would like to thank Home Care Services for their generous assistance with Ruby’s care in the last months. Ruby was also predeceased by husband, Frank, in 1992 and is survived by her sons, Glen and Dale, grandson Adam, great-grandson Axel and great-granddaughter, Ruby Lynn Ross. A celebration of Ruby’s life will be held at her favourite venue, the Powell River Farmers’ Market on McLeod Road, at 2 pm on July 14, 2018.

Henry Maurice Liebich Born October 23, 1938 - Died July 1, 2018

It is with heavy hearts we have to announce that our father has lost his fight with multiple myeloma, one of four cancers he endured throughout his life. Dad’s legacy left to all: keep fighting and never give up. Dad passed away peacefully in the arms of our mother, Irene, Dad’s wife of 63 years. He is survived by five children: Sue (John), Kathy (Dwight), Mike (Jackie), Tim (Nancy) and Kelly, nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Dad and mom had an adventurous life, ocean kayaking, canoeing the Mackenzie River, hunting, fishing, and learning how to downhill ski (in their 60s). Sailing, which we think by far was their favourite, us kids know it was ours as we got to go on several trips with them. Dad was always willing to help others but never wanted to accept help, “Stubborn, maybe.” He enjoyed going to church, playing cribbage at the Legion and weekly crib games with his buddy Stan, and helping at the yacht club. The family wishes to express our sincerest gratitude to Dr. Black, Sue, Roxanna, Maureen and all the RCAs for their exemplary care and kindness. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Texada Health Centre in honour of our dad Maurice Liebich. Church services will be held at Texada Island United Church, the church where dad and mom got married on November 11, 1955, on Tuesday, July 10, at 11 am followed by a graveside ceremony at Woodland Cemetery. Coffee and tea to be served at the Legion following.
