New proprietors embrace store’s past Kelly’s Health Shop owners place emphasis on health while honouring business legacy Kelly’s Health Shop has evolved in many ways since opening in 1975. Previously known as Kelly’s Specialty Shop, the business changed hands in September for only the second time after serving Powell River area customers for more than four decades.

Kelly’s carries a full array of supplements and herbs, personal care products, health food, beer and wine supplies and homeopathic items. Owner/manager Nicole Rumley, who purchased the business with her husband Dan Forrest, changed the name to better reflect what the store has to offer.

Previous owners Reg and Stella Gillies had owned the store since 1989 after buying it from the original owners.

“Reg and Stella cared a lot about their business and the transitioning; the fact that we are very rooted in the community and have a great interest in health and wellness was really important to them,” says Nicole.

Kelly’s is named after original owner James Mckenzie, whose nickname was Kelly. Mckenzie took over Sands Health Food Store, which operated on Joyce Avenue next to the medical clinic.

Sands was owned and run by Percy Sands from the late 1960s to early 1970s; Mckenzie took over when Percy’s health deteriorated and changed the name in 1975. The store always carried vitamins and unique things that interested its owner, such as Murchie’s Tea, Laura Secord

chocolate, imported candies and baby-bunny peanuts. Beer and wine-making supplies also date back to store’s early days.

When Mckenzie passed away in 1980, his wife Anne ran the store with the help of their son Andrew. Stella worked at the store for approximately eight years prior to the Gillies’ purchasing the business.

“Kelly’s has been a longstanding store in our community; the history is quite interesting,” says Nicole, who, like her husband, was born and raised in Powell River.

The original scales used to weigh the candies and peanuts are still in the store.

Lewis said his starting goalie, Brian Wilson, was excellent throughout the final series and during the first-round sweep of Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Playing the final year of his junior-hockey eligibility, Wilson ended the playoffs with two shutouts, a goals-against average of 2.08 and a .935 save percentage.

Evans was the Kings top scorer in the playoffs with seven goals and seven assists, followed by his linemate Cam Donaldson, who scored five times and added five assists.

Kings had a chance to end the series at home on Saturday, March 25. Leading three games-to-two, the team lost 4-2 at Hap Parker Arena in front of 1,461 hometown fans.

After charging out to a 2-0 lead with first period goals by Donaldson and Josh Coblenz, Kings were unable to find the back of the Grizzlies net again.

“It was a real rollercoaster game,” said Lewis. “It ended up maybe being our downfall.”

“There is an awakening in our society for people to take more responsibility for their own health,” says Nicole. “They are realizing our food is filled with ingredients toxic to our bodies, and that there are alternatives to pharmaceuticals and natural ways to reset the body to health.”

Since New Year’s resolutions include health goals for most people, January is a great month to focus on health.

Polar Bear Swim starts new year Roller derby team holds annual ocean plunge on New Year’s Day

“

”

NEW YEAR’S EVE DANCE AT THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION With Ron Campbell and Walter Martella Dance Band Sunday, December 31 Doors open 7 pm • Music 8:30 pm Members of Pow! Town Roller Derby team participated in last year’s Polar Bear Swim at Willingdon Beach.

when the team began organizing the event, the pressure was on.

“I liked the challenge,” she says. “I went the first year just to watch, and then I realized I could probably join in the next year, and that’s the year roller derby took it over, so it made sense for me to participate.”

Those not willing to submerge themselves in the frigid ocean waters are welcome to come and cheer on the participants, says Pow! Town president Nicki Lister. The event runs from 11 am-1 pm and the whistle for the swim blows at 12 pm

sharp.

A bonfire and hot drinks will be available for swimmers and onlookers, fun costumes are encouraged and everyone is welcome.

Donations to Powell River Action Centre Food Bank are accepted at the event.

“Pow! Town Roller Derby loves sponsoring this event for Powell River, bringing the community together to celebrate,” says Lister.

“It’s an exciting, fun and refreshing way to start the new year.”

Blower says even before she became a participant in the swim, the event was an entertaining way to celebrate New Year’s Day. “It’s such a community thing,” says Blower.

“Everyone is having such a good time and there’s a very friendly, welcoming vibe.”

Tickets: $25 for members, $30 for non-members Includes late night buffet Tickets available at

A true community event, Powell River Polar Bear Swim returns to Willingdon Beach with Pow! Town Roller Derby team at the helm again this year. Now in its third year organizing the event, the local roller derby team invites anyone with thick skin and a brave heart to plunge into the cold January waters on New Year’s Day. “When I go in, I can’t believe it is happening and I can’t wait to get out, and it’s just really, really cold,” says third-year participant and Pow! Town team member Donna Blower. “It was way colder than I expected, yet somehow doable. When you get out it’s not so bad and you warm up pretty quick.”

Blower has been with the roller derby team for four years and said the first year she attended the polar bear swim she just sat back and observed. Two years ago,

Resolving to change habits

LET’S TALK TRASH kitchen scraps at the Town Centre recycling depot near Rona for free. Meat scraps, bones, cooked grains, dairy and other scraps that are not typically put in backyard composter are accepted in the drop-off program.

Cut down on food waste Did you know that we waste about 40 per cent of the food we bring home from the grocery store?

Most waste occurs before the food ever hits our plate, in our refrigerator. We’ve all had a scary science project going on in the back of our fridges before. A simple habit change that could save you money and valuable food. Pick a shelf in your fridge for items you

would like everyone in the house to eat first.

Reuse bags and containers Plastic bags and disposable coffee cups are overwhelming garbage cans the world over. A simple habit change can stem the tide of all this waste. Pick up a reusable water bottle and coffee cup at the thrift store, or gift them to yourself. A wicker basket or cloth bag hold a lot more than the flimsy plastic shopping bags ever will. In a pinch, you can always ask the staff for a cardboard box to tote you goodies home in.

Perhaps surprisingly, experts suggest that it’s best to change multiple habits

If you see the coming of the new year as a new slate, it could be a perfect time for you to commit to a change in habits. Many of us contemplate our waistline around this time, but perhaps this year we can all take a closer look at our waste.

It can be overwhelming to consider where to start, but we all know we can do better, and fortunately there are some changes that can have a big impact.

Here are our top suggestions to get your earthfriendly habits kicked off: Start composting Compostable materials make up about half of a household’s waste. Starting up a home-based composting system is possible, even in these wintery months.

A worm bin or a converted freezer composter are both great choices. Plans for the conversion are available at letstalktrash.ca.

If a winter project isn’t a possibility, you still have local options for compost drop off. Make friends with a neighbour with a hungry composter, or drop off your

The walk of shame

New Year’s Eve is upon us, which means 2018 will be the new 2017 and, for some of us, a night of celebrations to ring it in.

What do you plan to do to celebrate the big night?

For some of us, it’ll be a quiet evening of ref lection with a few friends or our sweetie.

For others, it might be the night to embrace your inner animal, dress up a little extra, have a few drinks and find someone to take home for the final event of the year.

Hook-up culture has always been quite interesting to me. In some parts of my 20s, that was certainly a part of my lifestyle. As I moved into my 30s, my needs sh i f ted into something a bit more monogamous, so I could start working on my own relat ionsh ip to secu re attachment.

Looking back, I did have a lot of fun. Ultimately, it was an incredibly empowering and healing time of exploration for me. Not to say that going out and finding

a casual encounter is the only way to find empowerment and healing, but it is one way for some folks.

Something I noticed was how some people were participating in this culture, but not as many were owning it. It was almost as if it was okay to do it as long as you weren’t really proud of it, talking about it or being honest about it.

The name we have given to the morning journey home, “the walk of shame,” is an excellent example of our society telling us how

we should feel about having casual encounters.

Goddess forbid that we make an empowered and informed decision about our own body and take control of our pleasure.

If your approach is honest (with yourself and the people you are engaging with), full of informed consent and safe, I don’t see a point in hiding your intent or being ashamed.

It’s like going out for a sandwich and then getting to the sandwich shop and telling everyone there that

you hate sandwiches. You probably aren’t going to end up with what you really wanted or someone’s going to get hurt.

Having said that, I can understand and have compassion for those of us who are driven to hide by our collective shame. It really is a powerful force.

So this one’s for the brave souls who aspire to reach for what they want, are honest about it and may or may not hold some nervousness in the process.

You got this, go have fun!

A. The distribution of your estate will depend on who survives you. If one or both of your parents are living when you die, they would inherit your estate under intestacy. If your parents predecease you and you have no spouse or children then your estate would be equally divided among your parents’ descendants, this would include children that they may have had from other relationships (all of your siblings and any half siblings) as well as the children of any of their descendants who predeceased you with children surviving them. If you want to ensure that your estate passes only to your intended beneficiaries, then you should have a Will in place. If you need assistance with any estate planning needs, please contact me.

FEATHERY FELLOW: This male Thayer’s gull was fished out of a sludge pond at the Townsite sewage treatment plant by two city workers; the pair gave it a good hosing off and called Powell River Orphaned Wildlife Society (PROWLS). Once in PROWLS’ care, the bird’s feathers were shampooed and blow-dried twice before the sludge was completely washed out.

Unfortunately, after such a thorough cleaning, the gull had to rebuild its waterproofing with repeated preening. After a week, it had managed to preen and coat its feathers with enough oils that it could be buoyant in water and able to withstand downpours of rain or snow and freezing temperatures. While gulls are viewed as commonplace on the West Coast, it is interesting to note that several different species migrate through our shores. This Thayer’s gull will fly up to the high Arctic in early spring to its nesting grounds, which are on top of rocky cliffs and facing fjords, before it returns again for winter.

The holidays are the time for generosity, kindness and joy to be embraced and expressed in a fullness of spirit. They can be a high watermark for how we treat friends and strangers alike; a model for when mistletoes and tree ornaments are returned to storage.

It’s a blessed and beautiful time of year, to be sure.

When the mountains of gift-wrapping paper disappear like receding glaciers and the house guests acknowledge your social cues to vanish, the holiday is drawn to an end.

Looming next on the horizon are New Year’s resolutions; the societally agreed-upon starting line when positive changes to your life can officially begin; the annual reset button of best intentions.

Whether it be eating better food, frequent exercise, saving more money or drinking less booze, the intentions are usually good. However, New Year’s resolutions could be doing more harm than good.

The problem with resolutions and mental health begin long before January 1. The space between intention and action is, by definition, procrastination.

New Year’s resolutions are built to fail, partly because they’re rooted in avoiding immediate commitment.

While in Powell River last week, I realized I needed a windshield claim started on short notice, a claim that was to be completed once I got back home to Kamloops. Knowing full well they would not benefit financially, the shop gladly dropped what they were in the middle of, took the time to get my claim going and explained everything I needed to pass on to my glass shop in Kamloops.

Roses to Boomerang Bags. It was a great feeling to be borrowing a bag from a local grocery store instead of bending to take another plastic bag. Please, please, everyone who has taken Boomerang Bags, return them so this can keep going around and around.

A mountain of Roses with plenty of zest, and self-chosen scents to make them the best. November 18 was the start of it all, with doctors and nurses and emergency call. The problem was found, if not fully cured, the ICU nurses, the best there could be. Thanks to you all from one who escaped, next joyous time a beer would be great.

Roses to the staff at a local furniture store for their excellent service. We ran into trouble moving my husband’s electric recliner upstairs and they sent over a employee to help us. This was beyond the call of duty as the chair was purchased more than a year ago.

HEALTHY LIVING

By Robert Skender Carleton University, calls this “culturally prescribed procrastination” and says “there’s nothing like a good intention where no action is required to make you feel good.”

The running shoe ad boldly states “just do it,” but most of us, including me, would rather think about it and do it in the future. Procrastinating is less painful and difficult but, sadly, not a formula for better mental and physical health.

New Year’s resolutions inspire lofty goals that can leave us discouraged and feeling like a sweaty failure. Setting small, specific goals and healthy lifestyle choices can lead to inspirational moments toward your bigger goal.

journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This is particularly useful wisdom in the context of self-improvement and attainable resolutions.

The journey to a happier, healthier self begins with a fresh food choice or beginner’s yoga routine.

The neuroscience and biology of procrastination might explain the lack of resolve in our New Year’s resolutions as well. The limbic system is the oldest and most dominant part of the brain and signals when to avoid unpleasant things. The limbic system also dominates the newer prefrontal cortex, where decision-ma k ing happens, and the result is we do what feels good: procrastination. We can intervene with therapy, medications, self-awareness and practices such as mediation and yoga. Part of the beauty of the brain is its neuroplasticity, or its ability to relearn and grow.

The chance for a restart in life and shedding unhealthy habits is always a wonderful thing.

Maybe New Year’s Eve is a good time as any to make some positive promises to yourself.

If those resolutions include being patient, forgiving and kind to yourself, only positive things can happen in 2018. gmail.com. Sessions are provided by a Canadian Aikido Federation accredited instructor.

Lucille (Trepanier, Poissant) Mirrlees September 20, 1931 - December 16, 2017

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Lucille, surrounded by the love of her family in her home at Willingdon Creek Village. She will be greatly missed by all who were touched by her loving and sharing heart, and we will all treasure the smile that warmed your soul and eyes of blue that brightened any room.

Lucille was born in Lac Magantic, Quebec and married her first love and husband Clement (Clem) Poissant in Fredrick House Ontario in 1948. In 1964, Clem came to Powell River to buy the family home and work in the mill. Shortly after, Lucille landed by float plane with her six children in tow, Raymond (Fern) Poissant, Monique (Bob) Richman, Albert (Sylvia) Poissant, Liliane (Aaron) Hamilton, Pauline (Dan) Vella and Alice (Jack) van Zwietering, barely knowing a word of English and terrified when the plane hit the water that they would all drown. She was sad to leave her siblings she dearly loved in the east, but excited to spend time with her brother and sister-in-law and to start a new chapter in her life amongst the ocean, lakes, mountains and mild temperatures that Powell River offered.

Lucille loved the outdoors and was always eager to head outside gardening or to go fishing, hunting, camping and enjoy nature with her family and friends. In those days, Lucille was a homemaker and a very busy one at that. She was always sewing clothes for her kids, as it was important for her to have her family dressed well when going to mass on Sunday. Many times you would find Lucille in the kitchen either canning, baking or cooking for her family and always welcoming all their school friends into her home. As if six kids at the table was not enough, her friends were important, too, and she stayed active in the community with the Catholic Women’s League and was president of the French Club.

In 1973, after the death of her husband, she started numerous jobs in the workforce in order to raise her children and later just the one job at the Loyal Order of the Moose Club. Many people knew her there as “Luci” and she soon became Powell River’s favorite bartender. It was then that she met her next love, her second husband Harry (Herk) Mirrlees, and her family became even larger. Sharing her heart with his children, Kirk Johnston, Max Johnston, Glenn (Vicki) Johnston, Leah (Pete) Godau and Gina (Carl) Jensen and loving them as her own.

Her family continued to grow, which Lucille was so proud of. Many times she would lovingly brag about her 24 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and four great great-grandchildren. She sadly lost one grandchild (Darlene), but always held her memory close. Her grandchildren all fondly called her “Nanny” and she always beamed when any of them walked into the room or called to say hello. Her life at this time was filled with many fun and memorable times with family and “the lake crew” up at the cabin on Powell Lake. In 2005, Lucille was again sadly left as a widow but filled her sorrow by spending time with her family, friends, gardening, some travel, playing games with grandkids and feeding everyone at any chance she got. Her heart accepted anyone and everyone was always welcome.Eight years ago, Lucille’s health began to seriously decline. Although she had many struggles she fought hard in order to live her life the best she could and be with her family. This time was always so precious to her and she was always so happy when her family would stop to visit. Lucille was truly an example of strength. She was supportive and respectful of others and always provided a smile or a laugh when she could.

The family extends a sincere thanks and are grateful to the staff of house three at Willingdon Creek who provided tremendous love, guidance and support for her. Also, to her table mates, you shared so much and she loved you. We have all been truly blessed to have known her and she will be forever in our hearts.

She’s left us now, she has taken flight, Dancing on stars throughout the night.

Sending her touch and watching us each day, Enjoying her loved ones, this I pray.

So when you miss her so much you ache inside, Think of her smile and her eyes filled with pride.

She belongs to heaven now, an angel for evermore, Her new journey will be amazing, just watch her spirit soar!

Funeral Mass Service will be held at the Church of the Assumption on Friday January 5, 2018, at 2:30 pm, followed by a reception at St. Joseph’s Hall.

Dorothy left us to go fishing with the love of her life Peter Parent and to reunite with daughter Mary Jocelyn.

Dorothy became a registered nurse in 1948. The last 20-plus years of her nursing career were on the maternity ward at Powell River General Hospital, where she was thrilled to be present at the birth of three of her seven grandchildren.

Dorothy became a member of the Women of the Moose in Powell River in 1975 and was actively involved in Powell River, Windsor and Prince George chapters until the last three years of her life. One of her proudest moments was in Prince George when she was selected to be deputygrand regent of British Columbia.

Dorothy was an avid bingo player. She loved camping with family and friends and her bottles of wine around the campfire. She especially loved playing crib into the wee hours of the morning with those “cheaters” Ken and Eno. Left to mourn Dorothy are her youngest sister Jenny Maximchuk, her three children: daughters Valerie (Mark) Burningham and Darlene (Paul) Marsden, and son Arnold (Heather) Cosgrove. Mom’s pride and joys were her grandchildren Mark (Lisa) Burningham, Sarah (Bob) Davison, Karen (John) Kellis, Kevin (Chandelle) Burningham, Paul (Tracy) Savident, Joseph (Amy) Burningham and Danielle Savident, her 16 great-grandchildren and one angel, her two great-great-grandsons and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to the nurses, care aids, all the support staff and the “Y” ladies, with a special thank-you to nurses Penny and Gurpal for all of their loving kindness and care given to our mother at Simon Fraser Lodge for the past 38 months.

The family is also forever grateful to granddaughter Karen for the loving support, constant care and companionship.

You added joy to her life.

A celebration of life will be announced in the new year.
