Holistic approach benefits clients Marine Chiropractic and Wellness adds new staff and services For cl ient s of Ma r i ne Chiropractic and Wellness, new staff members, products and techniques are enhancing services related to the overall individual health of each visitor. Conditions treated by Dr. Jeremy Buhay and new registered massage therapist Jamie Bryant include back and neck pain, whiplash, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoarthritis, headaches and migraines, runner’s knee, tennis elbow, tendonitis, sprains and strains, frozen shoulder, TMJ (jaw joint) disorders and rotator-cuff injuries. The pair co-manage patients in order to provide a broader spectrum of treatment, which results in an optimal outcome for each situation. “Our training goes hand in hand,” says Dr. Buhay, who earned chiropractic and kinesiology degrees prior to opening his own practice. “We follow a lot of the same principles. Jamie knows patterns of muscle tension and has integrated a lot of different techniques; it works perfectly with my style of practice.” Origina lly from Vancouver Island, Bryant began working with Buhay on June 1. She received training at West Coast College of Massage Therapy, then spent nine years in Vancouver working in the field. “We all live in our bodies in certain ways and have patterns we live in every day,” explains Bryant. “Based on anatomy, specific lines of muscle tension predispose people with repetitive work to certain conditions. We
work on those tension lines to help relieve symptomatic areas.” Working as a team, Buhay and Bryant help clients understand what is happening with their bodies, allowing them to be part a process that eventually alleviates the problem. “Research supports that chiropractic is more effective when combined with massage,” says Buhay. “Clients flow between the two of us,” adds Bryant. “They see me, then go for an adjustment, that
way Dr. Buhay can see what’s going on without having to treat the soft tissue.” In addition to hands-on adjustments, Buhay uses the Graston Technique, a form of instrumentassisted soft tissue mobilization, to release tension in all areas of the body. “I use it on tendonitis, muscle strains, shoulders, plantar fasciitis and so much more,” explains Buhay. “I’ve been getting great results with it.” In some cases, clients can ex-

pect to feel improvements within minutes, depending on timing and how chronic or acute the injury is. “Some people respond better to hands-on muscle release, others respond to a deeper Graston Technique,” says Buhay. “It’s good to have multiple tools to approach different situations.” In order to provide a more holistic, multidisciplinary approach to each client’s health, Buhay and Bryant have worked to develop relationships with
local professionals in other fields. Clients are referred out to acupuncturists, dieticians and yoga instructors for specific issues when assessments suggest that is the best course of action. “I want to focus on what I’m good at and send clients to others when it’s in their best interest,” says Buhay. Bryant regards other professionals as additional tools to help people with their broader health perspectives. “If a client is struggling with diet or another issue, we are able to refer them to people who are excellent at what they do,” says Bryant. Marine Chiropractic also now carries rehab orthotics, a new product available to clients suffering from plantar fasciitis or other foot-related issues. By activating deeper muscles in the foot, rehab orthotics make the foot strong from the inside while creating support. “These orthotics train the foot, so it’s like going to the gym for your feet,” explains Buhay. “It’s an improvement from the classic orthotic, which only provides arch support and stabilizes the foot.” To make an appointment, call office manager Kyla Chisholm or receptionist Miriam Abrams at 604.485.9896 or email info@ marinechiropractic.ca. Referrals are not necessary and direct billing to third-party insurers is provided. For more information, go to marinechiropractic.ca, or visit staff at 104-4675 Marine Avenue. Walk-ins are welcome.

Pride Festival livens up beach Family-friendly party features music and fun activities A family-friendly party as part of Powell River Pride Week celebrations will combine music and fun activities Saturday at Willingdon Beach. Powell River Pride Festival, which runs 12-7 pm at the beach, promises to be bigger and better than previous years, according to one of Powell River Pride Week’s organizers, Tamara McIntee. “It’s a great event for the family and great for music lovers,” says McIntee. “It’s so important to raise awareness about accepting people who love freely in whatever way they choose.” The festival will feature food vendors, a photo booth, splash tank and more. Opening ceremonies begin at noon with a welcoming from dignitaries and then an eclectic lineup of live music and DJs follows. “It’s going to be musical and colourful and fun for everybody,” says McIntee. “One of the reasons this event is so exciting is it is bringing more people out

Jensen. Of special note is East Kootenay-based DJ/ spoken word duo Universal Fa l lout , w ho r e c ent l y played Diversity Festival on Texada Island. As well, local indie dream rockers Texture & Light has offered to perform. “We’re not only excited but proud to be involved in such an important and positive event,” said Texture & Light’s multii nst r u menta l ist Trevor Mervyn (who goes by the stage name Trevor Refix). McIntee said Pride organizers hope some of those who attend the Pride Festival at the beach on Saturday continue the
party and head to the drag show beginning 7 pm at That Sugar Vault. The purpose of the outdoor beach event, as well as an all-ages dance 7 pm Friday night at Cranberry Community Hall, is to include the younger generation in Pride festivities, she said. “It’s essential that this event is family-friendly,” says McIntee. “It’s so important to show the younger generation that they can be open to who they want to love, and they don’t have to fit into a stereotype. It’s a place for all orientations to come together.”

Powell River Logger Sports committee wishes to thank the community of Powell River. Last fall a group of us agreed to put on a loggers sports competition this summer. We have been overwhelmed by the support given to us. To all the sponsors, thank you. You just kept stepping forward right up to the last day. Volunteers came out whenever we called on them, peeling the climbing poles, building the new grounds, getting all the chopping and sawing wood, latheing the wood for the competition and the weekend of the show, so much to do, so many hands to help. Thank you. Thanks for all the coffee, drinks and food donated to feed these volunteers over the past months. All the food and craft booths were taxed to the limit, feeding people with some 20,000 people at the beach over the weekend. Thanks to all of you. The competitors put on a spectacular display and the local loggers did Powell River proud. We appreciate your skill and daring, thank you. Finally, thanks to all the fans who came out to see the show. Without you there is little point in doing all this.

THE LAW CORNER Q. I was operating a van owned by my employer during work hours and was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Will I have a claim against ICBC? A. When a worker as defined in the Workers Compensation Act RSBC 1996 c.492 (the “Act”) is injured he or she may claim compensation under the Act or elect to bring a tort action against ICBC, provided the other driver is not a worker or employer acting in the course of employment. If the other driver is found to be a “worker,” s.10 of the Act acts as a bar to a legal action and you may only be able to claim compensation under the Act. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident while at work, please make an appointment with our office.

Kids in the summertime When we think back to the good old days of our own childhood summers, when there was no school for such a long time, our memories lean to the ideal. There were trips to the beach and up to the lake, and if we were lucky, to the Pacific National Exhibition or even more distant and glorious destinations. We had few worries about getting sunburned. We still had them, but we were not as aware of the long-term consequences of sun damage. Will our children remember their summers in the same way? Much like our own return to school in September, our kids will be asked by friends and teachers, “What did you do this summer?” How will they answer? Some, unfortunately, may only offer, “I stayed home and played computer games or watched television,” but that need not be the case. Summer adventures can be simple and local, and parents can do much to help create memories that last. Living as we do so close to the ocean offers spontaneous summer fun and distractions. What visitors flock to discover we have in our very backyard to enjoy every day. While natural playthings such as jumping off logs, diving off a dock or flying down a hilly trail on a mountain bike are accessible and fun, keeping chil-
HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet dren safe will always need to be a consideration. Arranging adult supervision for outdoor activities can require a lot of coordination, especially when parents are working. Ideally, friends and family can be a part of summer planning. Organized camps help, too. They can be a safe and fun way for a child to become more independent, learn about new things and interact with different people. Some concerns about keeping children safe in the summer are common sense year-round but can be even more necessary during the lazy days of summer, with its feelings of freedom and invulnerability. Never forget the need for supervision when kids are around water, whatever their age. Summer is an ideal time for rolling along on bikes, skateboards, scooters and
Summer weather allows children to explore a variety of outdoor adventures and activities. For adults, making sure their youngsters are well supervised and safe involves solid planning and common sense.
inline skates. Think back to those great adventures of your summers, riding all over town and into the trails around your house or school. Wheels deliver an ever-popular activity for kids of every age. Along with adventure comes the need to stay in one piece. That means helmets, pads and gloves and knowing how to use the equipment. Being safe on wheels could well be the difference between an
awesome summer story and one with “hospital” in the title. Playground safety means keeping an eye on your children, especially those aged five to 10 who love to take chances. Teach your kids to be smart on the playground. Make sure they keep away from moving swings and the bottom of slides, sit down on slides or swings and watch for others. Although backyard tram-
ATTENTION: EVENT ORGANIZERS Are you planning a cultural or community event and in need of another outlet for ticket sales?

polines remain popular, they are a common source of cuts, bruises, sprains, broken bones and even head and back injuries for children ages five to 14. For that reason, Canadian Paediatric Society discourages them for home use. Are today’s children encouraged to engage in conversations about their summer experiences? Providing group activities and following up by listening to the way they describe
their experiences supports the legacies of summer encounters. Chatting with your children about summer experiences under a shady tree is an activity in itself. Help them create a summer memorable for all the right, and fun, reasons. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for rural Vancouver Coastal Health, including Powell River, Sunshine Coast, Seato-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

Virginia Mary Butler Devoted friend, naturopath and nurse, Virginia Mary Butler died peacefully in her home on July 7, 2016, with her dear partner and friend by her side. Virginia was born on October 3, 1955, in Claresholm, Alberta, to Keat and Mary Butler. She leaves behind her siblings Milo (Jackie: deceased) Butler, Bryce (Judi: deceased) Butler, Rosella (Francis) Self and Carol (David) Boyle, many dear nieces and nephews and her long-time partner and friend Rob (Robbie) Richards. Virginia enriched the lives of many, enjoyed travelling and was happiest at home surrounded by her garden. She was Mother Earth, with a nursing background, and viewed her illness as a challenge she dedicated herself to. Her mantra was “the universe is unfolding exactly as it should.” She is gone from our sight, but her spirit lives on in those of us fortunate to have been enriched by her uniqueness. A celebration of life will be held in her garden at 6836 Alberni Street from 2-5 pm on Sunday, August 14.

A special heartfelt thank you to Carey Vaness of Powell River and Theresa and Steve Carano of Nanaimo. Your love, support, kindness and sacrifices to help with the care of Virginia and help us through this difficult time cannot go without being said.

One year has passed. My mom taught me everything except how to live without her. An eternal memory Life is not the same without you
The sun still rises in the east and darkness falls at night But nothing now seems quite the same, each day is not as bright. The birds still sing, the flowers grow, the breeze still whispers, too But, it will never ever be the same world without you. It’s so sad that you had to go, your leaving caused such pain But you were so very special and earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain.

1040 Card of Thanks
Thank you On July 21, a 58-year-old woman sustained a spinal injury while boating at Powell Lake. With the emergency aid and generous assistance of Justin Behan and Roger Gillen, Powell River Search and Rescue was deployed and Oceanview Helicopters and pilot Matt Larocque were able to land on float at Hole in the Wall, 20 minutes up Powell Lake. Andy Perkonig, Christie Dionne and Dylan Merrick of the search and rescue team were excellent and Powell River is very lucky to have them. An ambulance met the helicopter at the airport for transport to Powell River General Hospital where the woman’s injuries were treated. The Munro family are very grateful for all who have assisted with the rescue, care and recovery of their family member who cannot wait to get back to the serenity of her cabin and much-loved family.
To Randy Lillies I was in one of the local stores a few years back, so what I’m going to say is a long time in coming; so here goes. Randy and his wife came up to me, and Randy started saying the nicest things to me ever. I was so taken back that at first I just thought he was leading me on. When I realized he was sincere, I was paralyzed to the extent that I can’t remember if I even thanked him. Well, I’m thanking you now Randy. I thank you and I will ask God to bless you with great knowledge on how to get into the first resurrection, which leads you into the government of God. Randy, your parents must be proud of you, and Rhonda, you have a wonderful husband. If you don’t know who wrote this, it doesn’t matter. Love and good will to both of you.
