Talking cure requires listening McIsaac Counselling offers support to people seeking help Paul McIsaac knows the value of counselling from both sides: as a professional offering the service and a client using it. Deciding to enter counselling for treatment of behavioural or relationship issues, or to explore thoughts and feelings that lead to challenges in life, can be difficult for some individuals. However, from the perspective of a trained counsellor, by seeking that assistance clients can discover and develop skills to improve relationships, cope with problems and increase self-confidence, personal awareness and peace of mind. “Approaching counselling is a courageous endeavour, because it involves saying, ‘I cannot fix this by myself; I need help,’” says McIsaac, who opened McIsaac Counselling in 2008. “Although it sounds like a weak position, it is a stronger position; it is saying, ‘I need to get there, but I can’t get there from here.’” According to McIsaac, counsellors help clients deal with issues such as addiction, aging, depression, stress, loss and grief, mental health and sexuality. “Counselling is called the talking cure, but in fact it is the listening cure,” says McIsaac. “You have to listen to the client to hear what is going on in their life.” McIsaac earned degrees in counselling and psychology from Concordia and Yorkville universities and is certified by BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. His particular areas of expertise include couples and the new

“I had a number of successful careers in the past and then coming up to midlife I hit some hard times,” he said. “I went to see a counsellor and it worked for me. By helping me develop the questions I needed to ask, he led me to the answers I was seeking.” McIsaac previously worked as an operator at an amusement park, a television show stunt tester, a sailing instructor and a corporate-communications specialist.

as a counsellor for Powell River Mental Health and Addictions Services. “I have been through a lot of the issues I talk about with clients,” he says, “so it’s not like I am speculating about how they are feeling.” McIsaac works with men and women, but men’s issues are a major focus of the practice, whether the client is a male or the spouse of a male. “A big issue in our society is what is happening with men, because they don’t have the ability

men’s issues, aging and retirement, and addiction. “The current thinking on addiction is that it’s a symptom of other things going wrong in people’s lives, so to try to fix the addiction is just spinning wheels,” says McIsaac. “It is not about fixing the addiction; we look at the addiction, find out what’s behind it and work on that.” While drawing from his training to help guide clients through crises or difficult times, McIsaac says his own experiences also come into play.

to communicate with other men the way women do with each other,” says McIsaac. “A lot of men end up isolated, frustrated and not really knowing what a man is.” To deal with the issue, McIsaac plans to start a local men’s group in the fall. Counselling helps men develop a sense of belonging, not only at home and work, but within society, says McIsaac. “As men work through their issues, quality of life for their whole family improves,” he adds. Clients approaching retirement are encouraged to find ways to keep busy, whether by volunteering or through projects at home, to avoid pitfalls that can develop from loneliness or boredom. “Our society is great at telling you to go, go, go, but when it comes time to stop, what is out there?” says McIsaac. “A lot of people enter retirement and end up drinking, even if they weren’t drinkers before.” McIsaac says keeping the body and mind active is paramount. “You are better off having a choice of things to do and a plan for how to do them,” says McIsaac. “It will keep you healthy and keep your mind clear.” In addition to seeing clients at his office at 4699 Marine Avenue, McIsaac offers distance counselling via telephone, email or online.

Bite Club offers healthy options New complex concession adapts to customer needs An alternative fast food experience called Bite Club is celebrating its grand opening at Powell River Recreation Complex on Friday, September 1. The longtime complex concession will still offer classics such as hot dogs, fries and chicken, but is adding healthy, fast and affordable dining options in the form of what owner/ operator Nick Sherris calls “bowls of goodness,” including a tuna poke bowl, burrito bowl and fresh ramen, a Japanese noodle dish that is very popular in the city. “We are going to change people’s expectations of what a concession can be by listening and adapting to the needs of the community,” says Sherris, who has more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry in BC and has trained in kitchens around the world. “The feedback we have received since the planning stages has been very positive and we are

doing something the town wants.” Along with lunch and dinner options available before and after recreation activities in the complex, Bite Club is also offering healthy breakfast choices in the morning and a full menu during Powell River Kings hockey games at night. “We are offering people an alternative option to fast food,” says Sherris. “If you need food fast, you don’t have to sacrifice your health to do that.”

Bite Club’s grand opening takes place from 8 am-8 pm on Friday, September 1, and Sherris invites the public to try food samples from the menu and enter a draw for a grand prize. Sherris says he and his staff aim to serve families and other complex patrons healthy, filling and afford-

able food. “We are flexible when it comes to dietary restrictions and have a wide range of health-conscious options,” says Sherris, “so you can eat here and feel good about it. On Friday we are opening the doors to something you haven’t seen here before.”

Recycling ins and outs

Perhaps we should talk.

LET’S TALK TRASH the recycling bin is why plastic bags, glass and styrofoam are only accepted at depots, not curbside. The quick and short of it is they can damage processing machinery and contaminate the rest of the load, so a depot drop is the only option. We have come a long way from open-pit burning at the old incinerator site near Willingdon Beach, thank goodness, and we can still do better. In the meantime, these recycling programs do not take us off the hook from observing the first R: reducing. Our consumption is always the most direct route to zero waste. Anyone who is still confused about the ins and outs of recycling should check out the 2017 Waste Wise Guide at letstalktrash.ca. Let’s Talk Trash is Powell River Regional District’s waste-management education program.

Ever wonder why some items you try to recycle are turned away? If you crave an answer deeper than, “Because the guidebook says so,” keep reading. Recycle BC, the non-profit organization responsible for recycling certain items, is the program curbside and depot recyclers follow to determine an item’s acceptability. When it started up in May 2015, Recycle BC made two unique promises: not to incinerate collected recyclables and to process all recyclables in North America. These earth-friendly stances have resulted in many of the crinkly laminate plastics being turned away, which still does not account for why plastic forks or broken drinking glasses are not accepted. Recycle BC is a program for printed paper and packaging, which excludes anything sold as a product. What is the good news? This new program is funded by producers of printed paper and packaging rather than the consumer. What is the surprising news? It was never intended to be a recycling program for everything ever made. Recycle BC is, in fact, one of about 20 provincially mandated extended-producer responsibility (EPR) programs. Others include programs for recycling batteries, light bulbs, small appliances, tires, paint and electronics. BC boasts the most EPRs in the country, so we are doing better than other regions for recycling options. Another head-scratcher when it comes to

What type of home suits you? Would you love to buy your own home? An important investment like that should never be undertaken lightly. Not only do you have to take the time to choose a new home and neighbourhood carefully, first you must decide which type of property best suits your needs, now and in the future. Single family, semi-detached, condos or homes with a rental property all have advantages and disadvantages.

Semi-detached Usually less expensive than a single-family home, a semi-detached home has some of the advantages of the former, including privacy. However, since two properties are built on the

same land, less space is available outside. On the other hand, the result is less maintenance work. If a semi-detached home is purchased, make sure the dividing wall is thick enough to block noise from

Homes with rental units

Condominium A condo is great for people who do not want the hassle of looking after a yard. Some condos provide special facilities, such as swimming pools or gyms, which some buyers would not be able to afford otherwise. Keep in mind that there will be condo fees to pay. On the downside, a condo is a lot less private than a house. Be careful to choose a building where other owners have similar lifestyles. In addition, sharing common areas will often mean having to agree with other owners on how the building is maintained and managed.

Buying a home with a rental unit may allow access to the property market with more ease as rent received will help pay the mortgage. Also, many expenses will be tax deductible. However, a rental unit requires the owner to be available, as tenant emergencies can occur at any time. Being handy for possible maintenance jobs is an asset.

Single-family homes are very popular and have many advantages, including more privacy. Owners can build and modify at will, inside and outside. In other words,

they can knock down walls, build a garage or plant a vegetable garden. A single-family home may not be the best option for those without the time or inclination to mow lawn, maintain a roof or clean gutters.

Storytime is a hit with the preschool crowd; the stories, songs and rhymes capture the imaginations and excitement of that group so easily. What they don’t know is the fun they are having at the library is also helping them to learn basic literacy skills. Your child might not be reading yet, but watching FOR YOUR others read builds preliteracy REFERENCE skills. Preliteracy skills are the By Rebecca Burbank knowledge we have about how writing and reading works. Before we learn how to put letters together we can learn where they story starts, the direction of the text, even how to hold the book the right way up. These skills build easily during storytime when children watch a reader in action. Exciting and captivating stories build an interest in storytelling and the written word; they help give children the motivation to continue reading. They also help children practice the fine art of focusing. Mixing in song, rhymes and stories helps kids who may not be interested in just listening. We all know those kids who have a few extra wiggles when they try to sit still. Kids are never too young for storytime. Babies and preschoolers are welcome at the library from 10:30-11 am on Thursdays and Saturdays. Let’s get a head start on all the skills that help kids get the most out of their time in kindergarten.

Is yogurt good for you?

HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet cream pie or caramel macchiato is certain to be full of excess sugar and calories. As much as 18 grams of added sugar in one six-ounce serving, or about four teaspoons, may be added. Fr u itf lavoured yogurt offers another clue: anything flavoured probably contains little, if any, actual fruit in the cup, and lots of added sugar. Other yogurt ingredients can include gums, pectin, gelatin or modified corn starch; all are used to control texture, consistency and preservation. Fats such

Q. My spouse and I are getting a divorce. How will our property and debts be divided? A. Generally, property and debts accumulated by either spouse during the relationship are divided equally. Property acquired prior to the relationship is excluded from division; however, the increase in value is divided. For example, if you owned a house prior to the beginning of the relationship then your spouse is only entitled to half of the increase in value of the house during the relationship, not half of the total value of the house. Each spouse is equally responsible for debts accrued during the relationship. Spouses can make agreements that do not follow these rules, but agreements can be changed by the courts if they are considered significantly unfair. If you have questions about property division, please contact our office.

As we might expect, some Greek yogurt is not actually what it claims to be as producers can be using additives to mimic true Greek yogurt’s thick ness and protein. Yogurt is rich in calcium, protein and other beneficial ingredients, making it a good choice for a healthy diet. When deciding what

as palm-kernel oil might also be added. As for low and non-fat yogurts, they may have less fat, but will often make up for that with more added sugar, and yes, more calories. One trend that has been unavoidable is toward yogurt containing probiotic cultures. They are supposed to benefit digestion and the immune system. That may be true, but for probiotic cultures to have any effect, they have to be live or active. Any heattreated yogurt will have no live cultures as heat kills them. Many probiotic yogurt claims are unsubstantiated or overstated. Greek yogurt is different from other yogurts and is often touted as superior. Traditional Greek yogurt has the whey (liquid that remains after curdling) strained out, which leads to a thicker consistency with more protein but with less milk and sugar. The absence of whey means there is less calcium, so this may not be the right choice for everyone.

Walk down the dairy aisle of any grocery store and acres of yogurt is displayed in every form and flavour, non-fat and probiotic, to say nothing of the countless brands. You cannot count how many promises the labels make, nor can you explain the pricing. Yogurt is big business. But is yogurt a healthy choice for you? Yogurt is essentially just a form of curdled milk, much like sour cream. The name originated in Turkey and refers to a tart, thick milk. Types of yogurt can vary by the amount of fat, other ingredients and additives. Plain yogurt is usually made from cow’s milk and is unflavoured and unsweetened. Flavoured yogurts have fruit or flavour added. Yogurt contains lactose, a milk sugar, but a lot of sugar may be added during manufacturing. A good clue is how much added sugar (often high-fructose corn syrup) is on the label. Any labels promising fancy flavours like Boston

LABOUR DAY

Top activities for Labour Day For many Powell River area residents, Labour Day marks the official end of the summer season. Whether you decide to stay in town or travel, make the holiday weekend one to remember by celebrating summer one last time. After all, it could be your last chance to soak up some fun under the sun before autumn ushers in cooler, more subdued days. Gather up the children, pack a picnic lunch and spend the day at a local park. Kick a soccer ball around or play catch with a baseball, football or frisbee at Sunset Park, Willingdon Beach or Larry Gouthro Park, or try out new playground equipment at Assumption or James Thomson elementary schools. If cooling off is on your agenda, visit one of Powell River’s countless saltwater or freshwater beaches. An overnight trip may be more to your liking, so pack up the car/truck/camper/tent/RV and roundup family members or buddies for a final outing at your favourite camping spot. Haywire Bay, Inland Lake and Kent’s Beach are among several campsites in the area offering a variety of options. Spend

Here are a few more suggestions for making the most of the long weekend, regardless of how the weather turns out:

the days lounging leisurely or reading, playing on the water or exploring the surrounding wilderness. In the evening, roast wieners and marshmallows over a propane stove or barbecue (remember, a fire ban is still in effect). Fire up the barbecue and

invite friends and/or family over to spend a day in your backyard. Keep it low key and cook up hotdogs and burgers, or consider something more upscale, such as goat-cheesestuffed tomatoes and balsamic-glazed, flank-steak sandwiches. Accompany the main

course with one or more salads and an assortment of fun summer beverages, such as sangria or mojitos. For a themed event, consider asking guests to wear white and have fun with the rather ridiculous no-wearing-whiteafter-Labour-Day rule.

• Ride or walk around Inland Lake or try a new bike path north or south of town. • Go for ice cream at Putters, the Beach Hut or Pacific Point Market. • Enjoy a relaxing cocktail on your favourite patio, whether it is at home or at a local establishment. • Count the stairs while ascending Valentine Mountain, or for the more ambitious, conquer Scout Mountain in Wildwood. • Spend some time perusing Powell River Historical Museum and Archives (on Saturday) or take in a movie at Patricia Theatre. • Plan a shopping trip to supplement your fall attire. • Treat yourself to an hour, or even a full day, at a local spa • Rediscover board games: Monopoly, Scrabble, Clue or Risk, or try the puzzle that has been sitting untouched in your closet for years. • Rent a cottage near the ocean with family or friends. • Go for a walk around town and admire the scenery.

SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESS We represent your local, municipal, regional and library workers of Powell River People depend on public services; services depend on people to deliver them

LABOUR DAY

History of Labour Day The meaning behind some parts of history tends to fade from our collective memory over time, which is certainly the case for Labour Day, a holiday that has taken on a whole new significance through the years. One aspect remains the same, however: Canadians continue to welcome the three-day long weekend with open arms. Labour Day signals the end of summer activities and the beginning of a new school year, and presents a time to relax and reflect before busy fall schedules take precedence. Even though a feeling of summer is still felt in the air, days become shorter and harvest season looms around the corner, bringing fall scents such as wet, fallen leaves. Labour Day represents a time of change and provides opportunities to stock up on freshly picked vegetables or bite into crispy apples. It is a favourite time of year for all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts and some people take advantage of the three-day weekend to travel and explore new areas. But there is a great deal of meaning behind this special day, celebrated this year on Monday, September 4. It should always be a time to recall the origins of Labour Day, even for just a moment, to remember that without efforts and sacrifices of the labour movement to improve working conditions in the late 1800s, this holiday

Salute to

TO ALL OUR STAFF We would like to thank our staff for working as a team would not exist. A vast mobilization in cities such as Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, grew to encompass the entire Canadian working class and produced the holiday we know today. While labour disputes between millionaire athletes and millionaire owners of sports clubs often dominate the headlines, history offers a different perspective on an era when workers had to fight to limit their workdays to fewer than 12 hours per day.

In honour of the workers’ movement, Labour Day was introduced in Canada in 1872, a year when marches and gatherings were held in Ottawa and Toronto. In Europe, May Day festivities have been combined with Labour Day celebrations since 1889. That spring festival was celebrated for some time in Canada, but the desire for a long weekend at the end of the summer led Canada’s government to proclaim the fall Labour Day in 1894.

Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.

Your dedication and hard work is valued and respected Thank you ~ Michelle and John
