Business partners celebrate two decades Open house an expression of appreciation for The Cut Hairstyling clients Michel le Leger a nd Melanie Leger, co-owners of The Cut Hairstyling, have a lot in common. In addition to professions as hairstylists and sharing a business for the past 20 years, as of recently, the business partners also share a last name. The pair are not related, but merely a result of coincidence, as Melanie’s recent marriage led to the two having identical surnames. “ M y n e w h u s b a n d ’s last name is Leger,” says Melanie. “Apparently it is a very common name in Quebec.” The business partners purchased and assumed control of The Cut on February 1, 1997. Before joining forces in the business world, they worked together for a short time early in their careers. “We worked at another salon and had the opportunity to purchase the business,” says Michelle. “We both had young families at the time; it just made sense to buy it.” W h i le Michel le a nd Melanie were enthusiastic about the venture, not everyone around them shared the same confidence. “A lot of people, even my dad, said, ‘A partner? I don’t know if that’s a good idea,’” says Mela n ie. “Nobody thought it was the right thing to do.” Despite those concerns,

the business and partnership have flourished. Now, 20 years later, an open house from 4-7 pm on Thursday, February 9, will celebrate two decades of success. Clients are invited to drop in for a visit and refreshments in order to share in the celebration. “We’re going to have the giant Save-On-Foods wheel with our own prizes on it,” says Michelle. “People can spin and win haircuts, nail prizes, products, gift certificates and other great giveaways.” Melanie says the open
house is also an opportunity to give back and send a big thank-you to everyone for his or her patronage. “We really want to thank customers and regular clients who have supported us over the last 20 years,” she says. “We wouldn’t be here without them.” A team of trained hairstylists with a blend of experience and youthful enthusiasm join Michelle and Melanie in providing complete hair services to women and men. While taking the hairstylist program at Vancouver
Island Universit y, Jana Moore works two to three days per week at the salon to hone her skills. Serena Coe, who graduated from the same program, has several years of hairstyling experience to offer clients. “We also have Jennifer T hompson, a l icensed hairstylist,” says Michelle. “She’s new to Powell River and brings a lot of experience to our salon.” Autum Street, who completed her apprenticeship with Michelle and Melanie, completes the team. “Autum is a big part of our

business, working at the salon and supporting us for two years,” says Melanie. “She’s on maternity leave now, after having a baby in December.” Over the years, the salon has expanded and grown, adding products and services along the way. Highquality products from a variety of brands are kept in stock, including KMS hair products. “We also carry a men’s line now: American Crew,” says Michelle. “We’ve had a good response as men are styling more now.”
In addition to hair serv ices, aesthetics have been available for the past year through aesthetician Denise Arnold-Carolei and her busi ness, Adorable Nails and More. “We never offered aesthetics before, but now clients can access those services here,” says Melanie. “Denise has 20 years of experience in the industry and recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with us.” While the businesses operate under the same roof as separate entities, coexisting has been beneficial to both. “This is something we talked about doing for years,” says Melanie. “It has worked out perfectly.” According to Michelle, The Cut’s history goes back more than 40 years, starting with original owner David Persson. While ownership changed hands a few times over the years, it remained in the same building at 4660 Marine Avenue. “I believe it’s the longest-running hair salon in Powell River,” she says. “It was next door until we moved into this space 11 years ago.” To book an appointment at The Cut, call 604.485.6412, Mondays through Saturdays.

Makerspace co-founder Theo Rosenfeld moved their operation from a tiny spot behind Base Camp into a larger space on Marine Avenue below the bowling alley, allowing the duo to expand and be more inclusive. “It’s definitely been more of a community space than what we had before,” he says. “We were too small and didn’t have enough room for people to come in and join us to do projects. This has allowed us to really expand and do some high-tech stuff.” The space, which also runs tech classes, includes 3D printing and a virtual
reality system that is still in the works. Local entrepreneur Jim Barr, who runs Seekers Media, says he is excited about attending the TechNite meet and greet. “We believe there are a bunch of people here in Powell River like us; digital nomads who can live anywhere simply requiring a good internet connection and a mobile phone,”
says Barr. “There is also a whole creative class building things through the use of technology.” T he meet a nd g reet runs 7-9 pm on Tuesday, February 7, and will include refreshments and snacks. For those unable to attend, Makerspace also hosts open houses every Wednesday evening from 7-9 pm and Friday afternoons from 1-5 pm.

To date we have not been successful. Patients should make appointments prior to this with their doctor if they require prescription renewals or have any concerns they would like addressed. Patients will be seen at the clinic for urgent problems on a walk-in basis during this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

When was the last time you had a snack attack? Chances are the first thing on your mind was filling your belly. Things like cost, environmental impact and whether dietary needs could be met for that lastminute craving were probably further down the checklist. For the sake of convenience, most shops package snacks in lightweight, laminate plastic wrapping and attach disposable plastic utensils and single-use condiments. The more conscious cafés may offer compostable paper packaging and bamboo knives and forks (sometimes even edible). With a little forethought, you can show more care for the earth while also saving some cash. Try packing to-go containers and a set of utensils in your car. To avoid science experiments, make a habit of rinsing them as soon as they have been used. Many delis and cafés allow customers to use their own containers, as long as they are clean. You may receive a bonus of larger portions, while also having a more secure (and possibly insulated) carrying case. Containers can be as simple as a clean one from your recycling bin and as fancy as a collapsible container that slips into a purse or glove box. These come in handy at potlucks and meals out when leftovers beg to be taken home. If you are able to commit to a little more advanced planning, visit the bulk section of your favourite store to fill pantries with nuts, crackers, dried fruit and other highenergy, satisfying snack food.

Fact or fiction?
In a time when fake news and “alternative facts” are a part of our information landscape, the need for information literacy is clear. Libraries play a valuable role on that front. Libraries stand for the freedom to read and equitable access to information. Our battle cries have always FOR YOUR been about making reliable REFERENCE information available to all. By Rebecca Burbank But times have changed from the days when researching meant hours poring over books and journals at the library. Today we are exposed to a non-stop barrage of information, and not all of it is true. The question is, are we all equipped to spot the fakes? Many savvy users of technology struggle to spot the difference between reliable information and sensational misinformation, and social media has become a primary source of news for many people. These facts might sound insignificant, but considering the information we consume shapes the judgements and decisions we make, from voting to grocery shopping, having the skills to find trusted information is critical. Exposing ourselves to a variety of viewpoints and learning from many sources makes us better informed and tests our critical thinking skills. So, be savvy, ask questions, sleuth a little and let’s be sure we are not living in a post-truth world.

People like you make me proud of being from Powell River. A big bouquet of Roses to our neighbours for felling some trees on their property that were a bit iffy and might have fallen onto our property. It was very much appreciated and gracious of you to have given us peace of mind. Nice to have you as neighbours south of town. Sour Raspberries to the person who puked on my front lawn. Classy! A huge bouquet of Roses for those who have sat on the board of a local food-delivery service in the last 46 years, and Roses to the drivers who have managed to transport the meals to clients in all types of weather. Raspberries to local government officials for not even a thank-you to those who have made a local food-delivery service such a large part of the community in Powell River for more than 46 years. Roses to the person who found my library card on the ground outside the library and returned it to front desk staff. More Roses to the amazing library staff who phoned me promptly to let me know.

Does it sometimes feel like you are wearing sunglasses when driving at low light or during the night? Do you find yourself humming the 1984 Corey Hart song, “Sunglasses at Night”? Though presented as ultra-cool in some movies and music videos, as some people’s eyesight begins to degrade, they might be living that song title. Problems with night vision are linked to a higher likelihood of traffic accidents and fatalities. Good daytime vision does not automatically translate to good low-light eyesight. Indeed, because some vision problems develop so slowly, many people will not realize their vision is declining until it has seriously degraded. Problems with low-light vision are part of the aging process. As we age, our pupils become smaller and allow a lesser amount of light into the retina. We also experience a reduction in the number of rods in the retina, meaning a decrease in the ability to see contrast. Objects are less distinct or blend into their background. This could result in not seeing a pedestrian or other obstacle on the road. Aging retinas begin to lose the ability to quickly recover from bright to dark, for example after fac-
HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet ing an oncoming vehicle. Aging corneas and lenses can also be less clear (cataracts), thus causing light to scatter inside the eye and increase glare. Aging is not the only culprit for declining night vision. Problems may also arise for people with diabetes or dry-eye syndrome and after laser or similar eye surgery. One way to improve our safety on the roads at night is to make infrastructure changes: better road lighting, more and better reflectors and paint on the roads and adding rumble strips on the shoulder. Vehicles are also receiving improvements, including new headlights, which produce much cleaner light. In some luxury vehicles we are seeing nightv i sion s y s t em s, w h ic h can see pedestrians and anima ls using infrared cameras.
It may be hard to know if your night vision is becoming less effective. Indeed, since most eye exams take place under daylight conditions, even an eye test might not be enough. If you have any concerns about declining night vision, talk to an eye-care professional who can test for it. You may be offered night-driving glasses if there is a problem, even if you do not wear glasses during the day. There are steps to take that can improve your safety and that of others on the road. These suggestions work even if you still have good night vision. Start by making sure windows, headlights and mirrors are clean and windshield wipers are working well. When driving, slow down and maintain extra space margins. As a pedestrian or cyclist, wear light clothing or, better yet, reflective gear, and walk facing oncoming traffic. Because eye problems can decline so gradually, you might not realize you have become visually impaired. If you have any doubt about your night vision, limit yourself to daytime driving and arrange for an eye exam. It could save more than one life. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

Vera Josephine Formosa Vera was born on the island of Malta on January 7, 1926, to Antonia and Joseph Cosaitis. She shared her childhood with siblings Mary, Paul, George and John. Judging by most of her incredibly vivid stories, it was an interesting and exciting period of her life—until World War II broke out, in Malta, in June of 1940. Moments after war had been declared, 14 year old Vera, sitting with her girlfriends in a theatre watching a Bing Crosby movie, was to discover that her father's ship, HMS Glorious, had been sunk off Norway and he, along with all but a few dozen men, had perished. Vera survived the steady bombing of World War II and all of the hardship and devastation that went with it. Soon afterward, in 1947, she met and married her husband of 51 years, Joe Formosa. Vera and Joe came to Canada with their four children Tony, Joe, Natalie and Adrian and settled in Powell River in 1960. A fifth child, Paul, was born in Powell River in 1964. Vera lived a full life in Powell River and was an active member of her community, doing volunteer work such as Meals on Wheels and child minding at the recreation complex. She led a very spirited, active life that involved long walks, fitness classes and hours of swimming with her friend, Janet Bacon, at Willingdon Beach. Vera was predeceased by her husband in 1998 and her daughter in 2014. She also lost an infant, Natalie's twin brother Noel, two weeks after his birth in 1951. Vera will be dearly missed by her sons and their wives Diane, Susan and Trish, her seven grandchildren Tania, Justin, Joel, Celine, Carly, Hanna and Liam and five great-grandchildren Ryder, Alex, Brynlee, Olan and Oskar, as well as many other friends and relatives. Vera’s Catholic mass will take place at 1 pm on Saturday, February 11, at St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church, 20675-87th Avenue, Langley, BC. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Canadian Cancer Society.
