Judging by the hustle a nd bust le of T& R Contracting’s three local sit e s, t he bu si ne s s i s flourishing with expansion and partnerships. Now in its second season under the ownership of Da n a nd Bon n ie Robi nson a nd Shau n and Raeann Gloslee, the company has broadened its scope since taking over the business in the fall of 2014, including locally produced aggregate products, yard and garden materials and lot and property services. The two local couples have seen the family owned and operated business grow over the past year and their West Lake Pit site on Padgett Road is now the pivotal point for all of its operations. With a larger sales office and an increasing variety of products and services, T&R has become a onestop shop for commercial and residential projects and materials. T&R staff will answer questions about all of its products and services and welcomes customers to the public site where they can learn more. T&R serves commercial, t rades a nd resident ia l customers. The company’s locally produced aggregate products are made from blue granite and come directly from its West Lake Quarry, just 10 minutes from the public sales yard. “People like the look of the blue granite and it’s a super hard rock, so it doesn’t break down like other rock, and it’s very durable for things like

driveways,” says Dan. T&R runs three locations. West Lake Quarry is where it makes the aggregate products, Cranberry Lake Sand Pit is where all of the round rock and sand is mined and used for bedding sand, cement gravel and decorative rock, and the West Lake Pit public sales location is where it offers a wide selection of construction, yard and garden materials. Customer service is a top priority at T&R. The staff is available for requests and questions and will spend time with visitors discussing options and making suggestions for customer projects. T&R offers a full range of products, including an impressive variety of sand, gravel, granite (washed and with fines) and river rock, as well as fish and mushroom compost, organic soil amender, readyto-use garden and turf soil
and mulches and rocks for garden focal points. “We’ve had ama zing response to every product, and we have people purchasing bulk orders, but we also do smaller sales by pail,” says Bonnie. T&R’s different grades of aggregates can be used for everything from driveways to drainage. Rip rap can be used for retaining walls and breakwaters, and road base is very popular for road-building projects. T&R offers delivery of all of its products, as well as pickup at the yard on Padgett. “It’s a one-stop shop. We ’v e g o t e v e r y t h i n g for your home or yard, whether it be landscape material or construction aggregate,” says Shaun. “Whether you’re building a house or finishing a yard, you can get it all here.” T&R recently announced a partnership with Courtenay-based cement-
products manufacturer Hyland Precast, becoming an exclusive depot for the Vancouver Island c o m p a n y ’ s c e m e n t products, such as catch basins, septic tanks, curb stops for parking lots and highway barriers. “We’re looking forward to a long-term relationship with T&R and expanding to what the local needs are in Powell River,” says Hyland operations manager Chris Huber. “Our focus is to bridge the gap between the Island and the mainland.” The owners of T&R have had a professional and personal relationship with Chris at Hyland for years and saw an opportunity to provide cement products directly to Powell River residents. “The more products we can have locally in our community, the better,” says Bonnie. T&R also has a range of
trucks available, including a Hiab crane truck for heavy-lifting jobs and a year-round potable water truck for deliveries of clean drinking water for a variety of needs. A slinger truck is also available to place products in difficult locations wherever customers need t hem, avoiding back-breaking work. Dumpt r ucks, excavators and a full line of machinery are also available. Hav ing raised their families in Powell River, the four owner-operators of T&R stress the value in giving back to the community, providing donations and sponsorships to loca l charities and non-profit societies. “It’s very important for us to share whenever we can and help the community be as successful as it can,” says Bonnie. T&R welcomes customer quest ions about its residential and commercial product s a nd ser v ices.

to the popularity of drag shows in popular culture and online. “It’s easier for queens to learn how to do makeup now,” he laughs. “Yes, these
queens look great and, yes, they’ve learned how to apply makeup, but they haven’t learned how to command a room and perform to different crowds.” As for Saturday’s show, Hunte says he hopes everyone comes with an open mind and leaves with a smile on their face. “It’s going to be a lot of audience interaction and lot of impersonations and comedy,” he says. “At the end of the night, everyone will be so happy that they came.”

When professional drag show performer Christopher Hunte did his first show in Powell River in July during Powell River Pride celebrations, he says he was blown away by the warm reception he and his fellow performers received. Hunte, who goes by the stage name Symone Says, returns this Saturday night for a new show entitled Boys Will Be Girls, sponsored by Powell River Pride and Iguana’s Mexican Grill, and is anticipating the same welcoming response. “July was my first time in Powell River and I didn’t expect the people to be as friendly and loving as they were,” says Hunte. “I thought I might be up against people thinking, ‘Who are these drag queens, a nd what a re drag queens rea lly a ll about?’ but everyone was wonderful.” Bringing a Las Vegas-style show to town that focuses
on impersonations of female singers, Hunte and fellow Vancouver-based performer Mina Mercury highlight the music they listened to growing up, bringing a special attachment to the songs they perform. “Fortunately, I only impersonate the people that I love,” says Hunte, whose repertoire includes Tina Turner and Diana Ross. Hunte says he has spent countless hours memorizing songs and perfecting the accompanying choreography and Symone Says is a character that celebrates empowerment and flamboyance. “A lot of performers I know are meek and mild, and then you put them onstage as a character and they command the room, and it’s a sense of empowerment,” says Hunte. “I’m fortunate that as Christopher I feel empowered, and as Symone I feel equally empowered. I just push the envelope a little more because I’m the one with the microphone.” Hunte began performing in drag shows more than 20 years ago. In that time he has watched the scene change dramatically due

Bokashi is a Japanese word that translates into ‘fermented organic matter.’ This method of composting allows for the additions of meat, fish and dairy without attracting rodents and flies or producing odours. You will see an active Bokashi bucket and learn how to make your own Bokashi system from scratch, including creative ways to produce the necessary micro-organisms to activate your bucket. Workshop attendance is FREE.

THE LAW CORNER Q. What’s the difference between probate fees, executor fees and legal fees? A. Probate fees are paid to the minister of finance when a probate application is filed and are calculated using a formula based on the gross value of the estate less certain secured debts. Probate fees are equivalent to roughly 1.4 per cent of the gross value of the estate. Executor fees are paid to the executor for the job of administering the estate. Unless the Will states otherwise, an executor may claim a fee of up to 5 per cent of the gross value of the estate. Legal fees are paid to a lawyer who performs legal work on behalf of the estate such as court appearances, meetings, correspondence and drafting documents. If you require assistance with an estate, please contact our office.
