Powell River Peak The Canadian Guitar Quartet brings an acclaimed concert to Powell River Academy of Music on Tuesday, January 24.

composers including quartet member Côté-Giguère. “Anybody who knows string quartets, we are a bit like that, but with guitars, of course,” says Trépanier. “Most of the original pieces have a South American bent to them. Anyone who would call themselves a ‘guitar head’ would find loads of things to love about our concert. There is lots of intricate, exciting guitar playing going on.” While the show is full of high-energy guitar work, Trépanier says the quartet takes time to talk to the audience between pieces in order to provide background and context. Over the years, he says, the show has become more interactive and fine-tuned. “We work very hard and we do a lot

of work to improve our details,” says Trépanier. “One thing we have in spades is a sense of energy and happiness on stage. We’re just so happy to be able to perform, which is quite regularly. It’s like being on a sports team when you are in top shape and pushing it to the limit.”

For the Canadian Guitar Quartet, there is no such thing as a passive or aloof audience. No matter where the Eastern Canadian quartet plays a concert, there are always classical guitar enthusiasts, fellow guitarists and music students to be found in the audiences. “It does up our nerves if there are music colleagues in the room,” admits Louis Trépanier, member of the quartet and also a University of Ottawa guitar professor. “Playing to other guitarists is great though, because you know that you have people who really speak the language of what you are playing.” Comprised of Trépanier, Julien Bi s a i l lon, Br u no Rou s s el a nd Renaud Côté-Giguère, the guitar quartet plays a classical concert at Powell River Academy of Music on Tuesday, January 24, with tickets on sale now. “We haven’t had a guitar quartet here before, or maybe if we have it has been quite a while,” says the academy’s music director Walter Martella. “Certainly, it’s different than our usual fare of concerts, so we’re looking forward to offering something new.” According to Trépanier, the concert will feature traditional classical repertoire, including Beethoven, Brahms and French composers from the late 1800s, as well as original works by

It is time for an honest survey of your fridge and compost bucket. As a nation, approximately 40 per cent of food grown for human consumption finds its way to the trash or compost pile unnecessarily. While significant wastage occurs at the agricultural level and grocery stores, much of it happens in our homes. Beyond the cost to your wallet is the cost to the planet. Resources required to transport a banana to your fruit basket to become a fruit-fly habitat are considerable. It all starts at the farm, where human labour, fertilizer and copious amounts of water, not to mention pesticides, are consumed. Transportation, marketing and refrigeration are then required to deliver fresh food to our plates. When we add the reality of food insecurity in our nation, it can motivate us to consider changing some simple habits to reduce our contribution to this global issue. Here are our top tips for avoiding food waste: Create an “eat me first” shelf in your fridge for food about to go off. Plan meals after scanning what is already in your pantry. Eat before you shop to avoid over-purchasing. Create a grocery list. Consider shopping for so-called “deals” carefully. Will you really eat all that cereal before it goes stale?

What is threading? Threading is an ancient method of hair removal originating in the Middle East. A thin thread is doubled, then twisted, then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Threading removes short lines of hair instead of single hairs, like tweezing.

This 1-acre property is tucked away behind Cranberry Lake, just five minutes to downtown. The 4-bedroom home has great road appeal and a gas fireplace. Paint and carpets would really freshen this home up.

The advantage to threading is that it provides more precise control for shaping and is gentler on the skin.

PEAK WEEKENDER

Hypertension poses risk Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a significant health risk for many people. This is because it makes the heart work harder than it should and hardens the walls of arteries. Hypertension can lead to hemorrhage in the brain or cause kidneys to function poorly, or not at all. Uncontrolled, high blood pressure can lead to heart and kidney disease, stroke and blindness. Given the extensive dangers of hypertension, those frequent reminders to use less salt (sodium) and pull back from high-fat meats make more sense, don’t they? Various medications can help, even control, high blood pressure, but there is a first line of attack to consider that involves no medication, just healthier eating habits. The Dietary Approaches to Stopping Hypertension (DASH) eating plan was devised in the early 1990s by American-based National Institutes of Health to prevent and control hypertension. The result was a medication-free approach that

HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet lowers, even prevents, high blood pressure. DASH is not so much a diet, but rather a method for healthy eating. It focuses on fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. It also means a reduction in sodium, sweets, red meat and other foods high in saturated fat. DASH also emphasizes getting potassium from food because a potassium-rich diet may help to reduce elevated blood pressure. The goal behind creating DASH was to help with hypertension, but since

then, research has identified more benefits than originally expected. DASH improves blood cholesterol levels and other coronary risk factors and may help protect against diabetes and kidney stones. Numerous studies have also shown that the diet reduces the risk of many diseases, including some kinds of cancer, stroke, heart disease, heart failure, kidney stones and diabetes. Mor e r e c ent l y, s t udies from Johns Hopkins University identified other potential benefits. Gout, a very painful form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid, may be helped by DASH. Another study suggests that people adhering to or being close to a DASH plan are less likely to develop chronic kidney disease. So far it looks good for DASH. And there is no bad news. Your eating will be more healthy and you will feel better. The question to ask then is, “How do I DASH?” Good news there, too. The DASH eating plan re-

quires no special foods and has no hard-to-follow recipes. It simply calls for a certain number of daily servings from various food groups. The number of servings depends on the number of calories that should be consumed each day, which depends on age and how active a person is. For example, a moderately active male aged 31 to 50

should be taking in 2,4002,600 calories daily. A sedentary female over age 50 should consume 1,600 calories daily. The next step is to convert those numbers into portions from the DASH menu, easily done as it is available online at hypertension.ca/en/hypertension/what-can-i-do/eat-ahealthy-diet, or from your

health-care provider. A heart-healthy diet such as DASH offers far more benefits than reducing hypertension and provides an excellent model for healthy eating for everyone in the family. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

Roses and

RASPBERRIES

Brightly lit Roses to whoever is responsible for erecting the star on the mountainside in Wildwood every December. The display brightens the neighbourhood, and my holiday spirit, each and every year. Roses to the clerk at a local grocery store who saw an elderly lady with a large order and went out of her way to help her on a busy day. Raspberries to the transportation providers for being rude and refusing to do an advanced booking, even though it was available. Roses to a family who invited a choir to lunch on the day of their last concert and even had two gentlemen sing. It was lovely. Raspberries to dog owners who let their animals loose in the neighbourhood. That’s what fences are for! Roses to the many people who stop and offer to assist or hold doors open for people who need extra help. Many Roses to the food distribution centres that manage to collect so much food and other resources, and for the many volunteer hours that make it possible on very low budgets. Most of the work is done by volunteers and the food comes from generous donors who prove daily that this community cares. I am grateful.

Kevin David Caul

Reta Olive Pirart passed away peacefully at Powell River General Hospital on January 2, 2017, surrounded by her loving family. She is survived by her children: Marvin, Marie, Helene, Lorrie and Ruby, 15 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. She was predeceased by her youngest son Michael, and her husband, Albert. Reta was born in Marcellin, Saskachewan in 1927. She married her husband, Albert, in 1946. Most of her married life was spent on Vancouver Island, and in Nanaimo. She relocated to Powell River in 1996 to be closer to her children. The past four years were spent at the Kiwanis Manor, where Reta enjoyed visiting with the other residents and participating in the many activities. Thank you to the nursing staff at the Kiwanis Manor and the Powell River Hospital for their kindness and care. Particular thanks go to Dr. Sasha Uhlmann and Dr. Melissa Meyer, whose compassion, empathy and skill made this difficult time much easier for our whole family. A memorial tea will be held at the Kiwanis Manor in the near future, date to be announced.

Wallace Shepherd Henderson January 4, 1925 - January 11,2017

Wally passed away at age 92 at Evergreen Care Unit with his wife Ruth and four children by his side.

Wally was a kind and gentle soul and much loved by his 11 grandchildren and 12 greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He loved spending time with and watching all his grandchildren play sports. He loved the great outdoors and his dogs. Wally worked at the mill for 42 years on the rigging crew and as a crane operator. He loved his big machine. A celebration of life will be held at 1 pm on Tuesday, January 17, at Living Water Foursquare Church, 4640 Manson Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Powell River Hospital Foundation for the Evergreen Extended Care palliative care room in memory of Wally.

If an annual kickoff to Powell River’s social scene exists, this was it. Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour rolled into town Friday, January 6, and Saturday, January 7, for two sold-out nights at Max Cameron Theatre. For the 12th time, organizer Jim Palm brought the event in as a fundraiser for programs at Brooks Secondary School. Many people involved in the region’s outdoor, backcountry, adventure and recreation activities were on hand, including Jillian Amatt, whose father, John Amatt, founded the festival in 1976.
