Mother and daughter team up in business MAD Chocolates fills niche for tempting treats MAD Chocolates owners Jeannie and Kaylie Keays view their shop as more than just a business. It represents an opportunity for the mother and daughter team to work on and build something together. “Kaylie’s dad died when she was three and we moved up to the Yukon,” says Jeannie. “I tried doing an apprenticeship but Kaylie didn’t seem super happy there, so we came back home; that’s when we entered into the whole chocolate scene.” Jeannie became a professional chocolatier in 2009. Her apprentice in training, 14-year-old Kaylie, has been involved since the business opened. “It used to be Jeannie’s Chocolates and I would help out,” explains Kaylie, “but then I was helping out a lot, so we decided to change the name.” Jeannie’s Chocolates became MAD Chocolates and moved into its current location at 6753 Cranberry Street in 2015; the business celebrates its two-year anniversary this month. All chocolates are made on location using quality ingredients. Quality, rather than quantity, is the main focus. “Our chocolates are all organic and fair trade, which is really important to us,” says Jeannie. Products include eight flavours of ganache-centred bars and six more bars with solid centres, as well as truffles and moulded chocolates. “The truffles are rolled in nuts, chocolate or toasted coconut,” explains Jeannie, “then there are the shaped chocolates.” Prior to summer of 2016, a seasonal mobile unit was added to better suit the market. “In the summer we still have the chocolates on the truck, but we also do milkshakes, burgers and coffees,” says Kaylie. “In the winter we are in the shop.” Burgers are not available at the shop, which is open from 11 am-5 pm Tuesday all com ces flyer pri

can,” says Jeannie. “All of our wrapping comes from CMG Printing and we have Avalon whipped cream from Ecossentials.” As well as doing custom work for buyers with specific requests, Jeannie and Kaylie showcase Powell River-made products in the shop from Just Soul Food, a raw-chocolate business with a focus on desserts, macaroons from A Piece of Cake, and caramels from Velma’s Candy, Tea and Gifts. Helping organizations and individuals is also important, says Jeannie. “We like to support the community,” says Jeannie, “whether it’s donating a chocolate box to auction off, or our time for making something.” To avoid unnecessary recycling, customers can bring their MAD Chocolates boxes in for refills, and receive a $1 discount for doing so. “It encourages reusing; that’s what we are about,” says Jeannie. Kaylie balances her work schedule with schoolwork and extracurricular activities. “I work more in the summer, but sometimes I bring my homework to the shop,” she says. The grade-nine student at Brooks Secondary School is interested in continuing to learn from her mother, but has her eye on other pursuits as well. “I want to learn everything she knows, but I’m leaning toward something like English,” says Kaylie. “I’ll always be around to help out though.” Jeannie says adapting to a steep learning curve has been a big part of operating the shop. Overcoming hurdles has allowed the business to develop and attract new customers, she adds. “Our business is slowly growing, step by step, so people are still discovering us,” says Jeannie.

The Northern Pikes go nostalgic Canadian rock band celebrate 30th anniversary of debut album with live show

Canadian rock four-piece The Northern Pikes celebrate their debut album’s 30th anniversary with a live performance at Max Cameron Theatre.
For Money,’ even though they are on the same album. They are such different songs.” Kane, a Canadian rock icon, was added to the band’s lineup for the Big Blue Sky 30th anniversary tour. He and The Northern Pikes guitarist Potvin have been playing as a duo over the years, so it was a natural fit, according to Schmid, after original member Merl Bryck left the band. “Kevin is an excellent vocalist and he fits in with the band,” says Schmid. “The chemistry of a band is a very hard thing to describe; it either works or it doesn’t, and there’s no rhyme or reason to it. And Kevin works with us. It’s like it was meant to be.” According to Schmid, the anniver-

sary tour includes two full sets by the band. The first set is the entire Big Blue Sky album in no particular order. The second set is a greatest hits from the rest of the band’s catalogue as well as a couple of new songs, some covers and Kane taking the mic for two numbers by The Grapes of Wrath. “It’s an evening with the Northern Pikes,” says Schmid. “We just have a good time with it and the last part of the show is meant to be loose.”

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of their influential debut album, Big Blue Sky, Saskatoon’s The Northern Pikes bring their rock show to Powell River on Friday, November 10. Featuring the classic lineup of guitarist Bryan Potvin, bassist Jay Semko and drummer Don Schmid, and joined by Kevin Kane from The Grapes of Wrath, the band’s stop here is part of a 27-date Canadian tour. “If you asked any of us if we’d still be playing after all of this time, we would have said no,” says Schmid. “It was unfathomable to think about that, but here we are.” Known for hit songs during the 1980s and 1990s such as “She Ain’t Pretty” and “Teenland,” the group released four albums during its height of popularity and went on hiatus for seven years before returning in 2000 to record two more albums. Schmid says those not as familiar with the group may be surprised to recognize at least a few of their songs. “It’s like most groups you go see live,” he says. “Sometimes you forget a band did a certain song as they play through their repertoire. That happens with us a lot. A lot of people don’t know the same band that recorded ‘Teenland’ did ‘Things I Do

Green burial
LET’S TALK TRASH in a biodegradable pod and planting a memorial tree above. A company called Eternal Reefs compresses remains into a sphere that is attached to a reef in the ocean, providing a habitat for sea life. A simpler version of green burial exists locally, where bodies can be buried in a field at Powell River Regional Cemetery. Individual graves are not marked, but a plaque with a loved one’s name is placed at the entrance to the meadow. This time of year, when we are witnessing decay in the natural world, it may be time to reconnect with the realities of death and how you might wish to have your body reintegrated into the loop when the time comes. Let’s Talk Trash is Powell River Regional District’s waste-management education program.

As the population on Earth grows, so does the one right below its surface; 60 million of us are shuffling off this mortal coil every year. Because death is a sensitive matter, discussing someone’s preferred method of burial can be put aside until the final hour. Many people believe there are only two choices: cremation or burial. There is a third, lower impact, option available. Green burial involves returning a body as naturally as possible to the earth. This means there is no toxic chemical preservation of the body after death. Instead, dry ice or natural embalming fluids are used. The casket is simple and often made of cardboard, wicker or sustainably harvested wood, or a cloth shroud is used to cover the body before burial. But is green burial just another fad? What impact do traditional methods of western burial really have on the planet? Consider the following: • Enough metal is buried beneath United States soil to build another Golden Gate Bridge. • Across Canada and the United States, enough embalming fluid is used to fill two Olympic-sized swimming pools every year. • Three litres of fuel oil, or 100 kilograms of wood, are needed to cremate an adult. It is no surprise we are being presented with greener alternatives to dispose of a body. One form of green burial involves the body being placed in a fetal position

How to determine an asking price Have you decided to sell your home? To attract buyers, you will have to advertise a competitive and realistic selling price. If you ask too much, you may lose potential visitors. While it is good to keep a margin for negotiating, keep in mind that buyers often shop by price range, which means if you want to sell for $200,000, you’ll attract more visitors by advertising your home at $225,000 than at $275,000. In addition, buyers who are ready to pay $275,000 will quickly realize other properties offer better value for the price. On the other hand, you should not undervalue your property and lose the chance to make a profit. So, how does one find the right balance? The best way is to compare your home with similar properties that have sold recently in the neighbourhood. This will provide an estimate of the amount buyers are willing to pay for a home such as yours. When setting the price, take into account the current market and how much time you can wait before needing to sell or move. Talk about your ideas with a real estate agent or licensed appraiser; they will help you determine the right price for the home.

Open house advice Homeowners who decide to host an open house to enhance the possibility of a sale should avoid these five beginner’s mistakes. Playing salesperson Stick to greeting visitors and answering their questions. The home will speak for itself. Neglecting cleanliness Everything must be clean indoors and out, even the inside of closets and cabinets. And finish remodelling before the showing; a room under construction is not pretty to look at. Leaving pets free to roam Visitors might be allergic or uneasy. Ignoring odours Nobody wants to linger in a room that smells of cigarettes or cat litter. Make sure to air out the home. Leaving valuables in the open Stow valuables and important documents out of sight. Better safe than sorry.

Meeting yourself where you are I’m currently recovering from two surgical procedures that really have me thinking about where my body, mind and, more specifically, sexuality are at in this moment, and where they have been in the past. Consider your life in your late teens and early 20s. It probably looked a whole lot different than it does now, assuming you are currently in your 30s or older; mine certainly does. My reflections are mostly focused on things such as emotional regulation and emotional intelligence, self awareness, responsibility, relationships, friendships, career path, dreams and, of course, sexuality. Our sexuality is amazing, the way it changes throughout the entire spectrum of our lives. Sometimes I look back on my earlier adult years (yes, I know, I’m still young) and miss the excitement of newfound empowerment and freedom my early 20s afforded me.
HEART OF THE MATTER By Niseema Emery I’m in my 30s now, but my expression and relationship to my sexuality was much different back then compared to how it is now. Not better or worse, but different. For some people, maybe there is a better or worse comparison, but the fact of the matter is, you are where you are now and finding pleasure in the present is key to your happiness. We are no longer 20
years old, so why would we expect our bodies to work as though they are? Furthermore, why would we expect our sexual appetite, expression and needs to be the same? Hormone changes alone make things different, for everyone. Women go through perimenopause and then menopause, which has an impact not only on desire levels, but also selfconfidence and lubrication ability, as well as the quality of their vaginal tissues. Sex can become somewhat uncomfortable and achieving orgasm can be a challenge if the proper care and attention is not given to this new state of your body’s needs. Men also go through a hormonal shift that can affect their ability to achieve and maintain erections or attain orgasm, sexual desire, mood and selfconfidence. Sensuality and closeness can become more necessary during
these stages of change, which is not the worst, if you can identify and accept these changes. Also, there are people who have gone through illness, accidents or other life experiences that have affected their libido or ability to experience sex in the way they used to. These things do not necessarily mean you can no longer have sex; it means you can no longer have the sex you used to have, or what society says is normal. Believe me when I tell you, there is no such thing as normal. What it does mean is adapting, meeting yourself where you are and finding the way that works best for your current physical and emotional situation. This is where you find your new pleasure and, ultimately, your new bliss. Niseema Emery is a certified intimacy and relationship coach in Powell River.
For so many of us, reading is an important part of our lives; we look forward to the next novels by our favourite authors, or pour over books and magazines that teach us something new. We connect to other people through the things we read; they give us the opportunity to see situations through new FOR YOUR eyes and provide a common REFERENCE experience we share with By Rebecca Burbank others. For some people of all ages, reading print books is not so simple. Nearly three million Canadians have a print disability. This includes people with vision loss and a variety of learning and physical disabilities. We also have community members who are homebound and cannot visit the library. Literacy is a fundamental right, and the library makes a variety of services and materials available to keep people reading. For some, home delivery of print and audiobooks through our Books on Wheels program provides the support they need. For others, it means signing up for audio materials from one of Canada’s two services for people with print disabilities. If you or someone you know needs a little support to keep reading, please contact the library.

LOST DEER: When a BC Conservation Office officer responded to a call in September regarding a report of an orphaned fawn below the sea walk, he was shocked to discover it was only a few days old. The officer carried and transported the baby deer to Powell River Orphaned Wildlife Society (PROWLS) and said he was amazed to see such a young deer halfway through September. The long, cold spring may have upset nature’s balance. Due to a lack of proper rehabilitation facilities for mammals in Powell River, the fawn had to be flown to Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre in Victoria the next day. Because flights are so traumatic for deer, the fawn will more than likely be released on Vancouver Island next spring rather than being returned to the Powell River area. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

THE LAW CORNER Q. My husband died recently and the only assets he had were two bank accounts that are in our joint names and our home, which we owned as joint tenants. Do I need to apply for probate to settle his estate? A. No, generally, if an estate is small (under $25,000), contains no real estate or if all of the assets owned by the deceased were jointly owned by another person who survived the deceased, then probate is not necessary. To settle the estate, you will need to have your home transferred into your name as surviving joint tenant and you will need to provide proof of your husband’s death by way of a death certificate to the bank so they can update the bank accounts to show you as the sole owner. If you need assistance with an estate, please contact me.

RASPBERRIES
A huge bouquet of wild Roses to each member of the Bomb Squad crew. They are the men and women who maintain the Sunshine Coast Trail. Bushwhacking, bridging, all of your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thanks from all who enjoy all the trails.
This work is required to mitigate the risk posed by tall vegetation reducing the clearance under the transmission line. The hours of work will be between 07:00 and 19:00.
A store-full of $1 Roses to the two employees who offered their personal help with an item they did not have at the time, and for the cashier who gave me a wonderful compliment. Keep smiling.
For your safety, if you require passage through the work areas, please signal the crew so that they may temporarily stop work prior to your entry.
Raspberries to all of you jerks setting off fireworks. Thanks a lot for freaking out my dogs. You have absolutely zero consideration for anyone and if loud bangs and bright lights amuse you, then it doesn’t say much about your level of intelligence. And to the idiot selling fireworks out of his truck, you’re an even bigger jerk.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Debbi Stanyer at 604.483.1261.
Roses to some really great people in Powell River. During grocery shopping I fell tired and as I came up to the checkout a young gentleman helped me unload my cart at the till. The cheerful young man then helped me out of the store, and another gentleman helped me load my groceries into my trunk. Both acts of kindness were truly appreciated and meant a lot. I also had locked my keys in the car and had many offers of help. Bushels of fragrant Roses to the care aide who always goes beyond the call of duty for her patients. There should be an award category for caregiver of the year. Gallons of Rose-petal beer to four good guys who chopped and stacked my firewood and made me laugh. Powell River rocks! Roses to the kind gentleman we met in a local store who gave my newborn son some money to start his first bank account. What a kind and generous gesture toward strangers. Thank you very much. A ton of Red roses for the gracious, kind lady who gave me a ride home from the college bus stop. It was rainy and windy and I felt like a drowned cat. Many thanks to you.

Gauging child development How can you know if your child’s development is proceeding as it should? Is he or she still crawling? Are you wondering when the first steps might be taken? Can she already verbalize her needs? Can he hold a spoon? What are the challenges your child is facing? Being able to identify these successes and challenges early on can mean a great deal for your child. Discovering areas of concern in a child’s development as early as possible helps ensure they reach their potential. Having a written tool for this screening is a great help. Every visit to a child’s health provider brings an opportunity for parents to share their observations of their child’s development. The visit may also trigger the need for more specialized screening, of vision and hearing, for example. Parents can effectively gauge their child’s development through play activities and regular family routines. There are easy,
HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet simple to use tools that enhance this process. One such tool is the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), which is available through health practitioners in our region and used by professionals and parents. ASQ provides a clear checklist of a child’s progress in each of five areas: communication, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem-solving and personal/social development. Parents start by choosing the tool to match their child’s age group and then
follow simple instructions. As the parent observes their child doing each activity, they make a note as to whether the child is ready to do so. For example, can he or she stand on one foot? Yes or not yet is then marked on the form. Once completed, the parent can score the questionnaire and any area under the monitor category can be discussed with their health practitioner. ASQ provides parents with a list of activities for each age-related questionnaire. The family might enjoy engaging together to support a child’s growth and development. Aimed at various stages of a child’s life from infant to schoolaged, these activities encourage skill development and build confidence. Using a tool such as the ASQ is especially useful over time; after a new activity has been tried, results can be compared to see if the intervention has made a difference. Forms are available at no charge from local public health
units and child development centres. A not her va luable resource for child development are public health nurses, who assess children at various times in their lives, with parent involvement, and also when immunization boosters are scheduled. At these times, refer ra ls to ot her ch i ld specialists can be made, if needed, for additional and more intensive assessment and inter vention (such as speech and
language therapy). Identifying areas of concern is one side of screening and intervention is the followup. Among the many useful sources of information and support is the Infant and Child Development Association of BC (icdabc.ca). Infant Development and Supported Child Care are two important programs in communities. They offer programs for parents, child-care providers and children through refer-
rals from doctors, nurses or other professionals. Parents are also welcome to contact them directly. Screening for potential developmental challenges allows for early intervention and community connection. Contact your local public health unit for more information about screening opportunities. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

Terry Norman Southern January 1, 1955 - October 24, 2017 It is with great sadness we announce that Terry left us unexpectedly. He was predeceased by his parents Thornton and Theresa Southern. Left to mourn are Terry’s siblings Wanda (Gordon), Bill (Rose) and Bob (Sonia), as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, cousins, his stepsons Adam, Arian and Andrew, and many friends. Terry was a teacher in Zeballos, BC, for many years and a principal with School District 84. He moved back to Powell River and found his passion of riding his motorcycles. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice. No service by request.
John Derek Hooper September 10, 1929 - October 25, 2017
It is with extreme sadness we share that John passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a short stay at Willingdon Creek Village. John (known as DD to his family) will be greatly missed by his wife of 63 years Beryl, daughter Lesley DiZazzo, granddaughter Tara DiZazzo and sonin-law Roberto DiZazzo. John was born in Stockton Heath, Cheshire, England, where he trained as a machinist prior to entering military service. In 1966, John and his family immigrated to BC, settling in Powell River in 1967. He worked for MacMillan Bloedel as a millwright until his retirement in 1989. John loved the outdoors from an early age (frequently being truant from school to fish in the local canal). His passion for outdoor activities encompassed cycling, mountain climbing, camping, swimming, boating, fishing and hiking with his family by his side. Upon retirement, John joined with a few fellow hikers to form the BOMB Squad (Bloody Old Men’s Brigade). These avid hikers opened up the backcountry around Powell River, creating a lasting network of trails and bridges. John’s passion for travel was well known. He explored the world with family and friends and he and Beryl spent winters as snowbirds in Yuma, Arizona. Cruising became a favourite way to discover new destinations and in 2006, John, with Beryl, realized his dream of a world cruise. Throughout his life, John was known for his sense of humour and practical jokes. Family meant everything to John and spending time together was the highlight of his life. We will love and miss him forever and always cherish our memories. In his words we “love you plenty.” Our family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pieter Rossouw and Kim, Powell River Home Care and the staff of Willingdon Creek Village, especially House 3. Your care and compassion for John meant so much and will never be forgotten. At John’s request, there will not be a service. If you wish, donations in John’s name may be made to BC Lung Association or Willingdon Creek Village.

Doreen will be missed and lovingly remembered by extended family and countless friends. A legacy of life celebration takes place from 2-5 pm on Wednesday, November 8, at Best Western Hotel, 319 North Road, Port Coquitlam. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Doreen’s memory can be made to Crossroads Hospice Society, 101 Noons Creek Drive, Port Moody, V3H 5J1.
Monica Catherine Stiles (Brown) Monica was born in Trail, BC, on May 22, 1929. She left us unexpectedly on October 25, 2017. Her husband of 59 years Pete, daughters Chris (Rick Young and their son Andrew) and Suzie and son Peter are left to mourn a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. All those who have been touched by Monica will be saddened by the news, but will look back fondly at the time spent with her and perhaps smile. Also surviving Monica are many nieces and nephews and their children. She was predeceased by her brother Walter and his wife Gwen. After graduating high school in Trail, Monica spent two years at Washington State College in Pullman, Washington. Here she made a lasting friendship with a classmate and our families have become very close over the years. In the 50s, she took a business course and followed that path until her marriage in 1958 to her childhood sweetheart. Over the next eight years, the family, now three girls, patiently moved from mining camp to mining camp. In 1966, Monica asked to stay at least two years at our next move: Texada Island. It has been our home ever since. Texada Island allowed Monica to pursue her lifelong love of sports, with a pause long enough to have our fourth child, Peter. Her playing days were done but she loved to teach, coach, manage and, finally, keep score. School basketball and sports days, badminton, swimming, curling and softball kept her busy. She was enamored of children and they of her. Someone with a baby had to stop and allow it to be admired, as she loved children. Island organizations were eager to have Monica on their roster. She was quickly enveloped into the island fabric. Monica will be sorely missed by all her friends and especially her family. God speed, Monica.
