Used computers reduce cost PR Macs provides quality alternative to purchasing brand new desktop or laptop With the continuous rollout of new computer products released by Apple, ever-increasing prices can make purchasing a used Macintosh computer an attractive choice for consumers. For customers seeking the more cost-effective option, PR Macs sells quality, used Macintosh desktop and laptop computers at 4691 Marine Avenue. “There is a big advantage to buying used because you get a fully upgradeable computer at a much lower cost,” explains PR Macs ow ner/op er ator C or e y Matsumoto. According to Corey, the days of upgradeable Apple computers are drawing to a close as engineers choose to permanently affix components to save space, rendering the current MacBook Pro completely non-upgradeable “If you buy new and think you might need a higher spec years down the road, you’ll have to pay for the upgrades upfront at Apple’s inflated prices,” says Corey. “As well, the repairability scores on the newer MacBook Pros are extremely low, making the simplest repairs a costly affair.” Corey says the MacBook Pros he sells start at less than 60 per cent of the cost of the latest model and run plenty fast enough for most

budget-oriented students and professionals. “It’s just nice to be able to get people into a quality computer at a decent price they can afford,” he says. PR Macs provides a twomonth warranty on all computer hardware it sells. Corey configures computers to each customer’s specifications and can also provide data transfer services from older Macs and PCs. As buyers weigh pros and cons to buying new or used, Corey says another important factor to consider is that new MacBook Pros only have the new MATCH

USB-C ports, completely stripping away the standard USB ports, ethernet ports, SD card slots and even the MagSafe charger port Mac users have come to love and expect. “If you want to connect any standard USB devices, you’ll have to carry around adapters,” says Corey. In addition to sales, PR Macs provides customers with one-on-one tutoring and training for Apple computers and devices such as iPhones and iPads, including in-home system setups. “I also do system setups

mall in 2010 and I invited them to move down into my space to reduce their overhead,” said Corey. When Rapid Edge closed down in July this year, Corey says he saw an opportunity for PR Macs to fill the void. “I basically just maintained the continuity of service, providing nonwarranty repairs to Apple computers myself,” says Corey. PR Macs is currently working with a Secheltbased company that took over the Apple licence for the Powell River area to see if Apple-certified service can be brought back to the region. “It’s important to have an Apple-certified service centre, but it’s a challenge because of the small service base,” says Corey. PR Macs is open from 10 am-5 pm Tuesday through Friday and 10 am-3 pm on Saturdays and shares a space with Corey’s other business, CMG Printing, which opened in 2009. CMG Printing offers fullservice digital printing and graphic design while focusing mostly on services for businesses, including business cards, racks cards and annual reports.

Bobby Bruce comes to Powell River as Nearly Neil for Powell River Community Foundation’s fourth annual fundraiser event.

Bruce has lived with his wife on Gambier Island north of Horseshoe Bay for the past 14 years and says it is wonderful to have a home base in such a beautiful area. “While it is the international touring that gets the most press, I have to say that I really enjoy playing close to home,” says Bruce. “It is a pleasure to bring the Solitary Band to the Sunshine Coast.” Powell River Communit y Foundation began 17 years ago and has given out more than $275,000 to nearly 60 different organizations in Powell River. It is also known for publishing the Powell River Vital Signs report. The concert marks the fourth year the foundation has thrown an

An annual fundraiser event for Powell River Community Foundation will bring the living legend Neil Diamond to town, or at least one of the world’s closest facsimiles. Longtime Neil Diamond tribute singer Bobby Bruce brings his world-renowned Nearly Neil show to Evergreen Theatre next Friday night for the foundation’s annual fundraiser event. “I started this tribute to Neil Dia mond over 20 yea rs ago. Originally, we gave it five years. However, the popularity of the show snowballed and it has taken me around the world,” says Bruce. “Part of what keeps this fresh for me so long into my career is the opportunity to perform for so many different audiences and to craft a show just for them.” Nearly Neil will bring to life the greatest hits from Diamond’s heyday. Bruce will be joined on stage by the Solitary Band. The show focuses on Diamond’s rise to fame from the mid 1960s to his historic 1980 Jazz Singer album. “We saw Neil Diamond in concert this summer and he’s literally a living legend,” says Bruce. “He is currently on his 50th anniversary tour, a remarkable accomplishment in any field, never mind superstardom.”

Information session:

Planning for End of Life Wednesday, September 27, 2017 10:00am to 11:30am Powell River Town Centre Hotel 4660 Joyce Avenue WASTEFUL ACCESSORY: Many straws that start out as an accessory for consumers to ingest a variety of beverages end up in oceans and on coastlines around the world; marine life mistakes them for food, which in many cases leads to their premature deaths. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Straws suck What happens to a plastic drinking straw after its brief moment of glory? Every year, 175 billion straws litter the planet, which begs the question, do straws suck? The seemingly innocent straw is often among marine debris that washes up on coastlines around the globe. As these flimsy tubes break apart, they become a deceptively tasty-looking treat to marine life. Plastic debris is responsible for 500 million marine deaths every year, according to the Surfrider Foundation. This blur of stats does not always hit home or change people’s habits, but when a graphic, eightminute YouTube video of scientists prying a straw from a sea turtle’s nostril went viral, the world took note. Soon, people began to question the necessity of the ubiquitous straw and campaigns to ban them took off. One BC town took on the challenge to ban straws in March 2016 and by Earth Day on April 22 that year, all 41 local businesses had voluntarily given up plastic straws. Across Canada, many businesses are making this choice, including some in Powell River that are using paper straws, or only offering straws when customers request them. Seattle is going plastic strawless come June 2018. Originally, straws were made of paper or rye and used mostly to stop the spread of diseases such as polio. In modern times, they are often marketed as a drink’s accessory or child’s plaything. If this article is the straw breaking the back of your bad habit, here is what you can do:

How can you plan for incapacity, end-of-life, and additional support needs? What is the difference between goals of care and advance care planning, and how can they help me? The information will be presented by Dr. Sue Horsfall. She will be available to answer questions.

The event is free, but RSVP required powellriver@divisionsbc.ca or 604-485-4700 Limited seating. Coffee and tea provided.

LET’S TALK TRASH 1. Tell your server, “No straw, thanks.” 2. If you are a business owner, offer only paper straws and only upon request. Biodegradable plastic straws are not recommended; they are not recyclable, do not break down in backyard composters and are not permitted in our local composting pilot programs. 3. Invest in a bamboo, glass or stainless steel set of straws for your household and bring them with you everywhere. Still not convinced? According to experts, straws affect the taste of drinks, narrowing the ability of the tongue to experience flavour and texture, and the nose to experience aroma. Up your taste and your care for the earth and join the “straws suck” movement. Let’s Talk Trash is Powell River Regional District’s waste-management education program.

Sellers can maximize curb appeal Looking to attract buyers for your home? Make curb appeal a priority. First impressions may not make a deal, but they can certainly break one. Put your property’s best face forward by doing the following: A fresh coat of paint While most sellers know they should paint the rooms inside their houses, many neglect exterior surfaces. Paint can brighten and enhance the outside of a home dramatically. If you are unwilling to invest in the complete job, at least consider applying a fresh coat on key areas such as the front door, mailbox, garage door,

trim and porch. Trim trees and bushes While greenery generally enhances the appeal of a home, it should never appear unruly or overgrown. If it has been a few years or if there is a need, trim trees and shrubs. Maintain your lawn and flowerbeds Nothing gives a poor impression of a property like a weedy or sickly lawn. Keep up with weeding, mowing and fertilizing to ensure maximum appeal. Sustain flowerbeds with regular pruning, watering, weeding and fertilizing. Use perennials or potted flowers to enliven dull patches.

Keep it clean G a r den to ol s, ho s e s, bikes, pet toys and trash cans should be kept neatly stored in a shed or garage. To v i s u a l l y m a x i m i z e space, park extra cars in the garage or on the street. Driveways and walkways should be power washed and any oil or rust stains removed. A cracked driveway should be repaved. Consider accessories Big, bold house numbers or a shiny new knocker can add polish and shine to any home. Other add-ons to consider include doorknobs, mailboxes, porch lights and, if you have the space, a porch swing.

Storm proofing

Aside from the question of how I found my job description, another popular question people ask me is, “What is the point of coming for relationship coaching when there isn’t really a problem, or I’m not in a relationship right now?” I came up with the term “storm proofing” in a conversation I had with a past partner. That relationship bore some resemblance to the examples I share below, and it was at the point of reaching for help when the term was coined. The literal definition of “storm proof” is “withstanding or giving protection against storms.” Notice how the definition is not about stopping the storms from happening, but to give protection and withstand. I like to offer the term (and frame of mind) to my clients and friends and I really try to bring it into my own relationships. The idea behind storm proofing is that storms (also known as fights, disagreements, rupture, breaks in communication or arguments) in our relationships are inevitable. Hoping for a relationship

HEART OF THE MATTER By Niseema Emery where storms never exist is similar to hoping to surf on a lake in December; it is not happening. And one day, a storm will roll up and you will want the tools to be able to withstand it. You can also call it resiliency. I’m sure most of us have experienced those relationships where a rupture in connection happens and then another one follows before the last one can be cleared. Before you know it, you have a messy, compounded fracture in connection with no clear way out. It is exhausting and full of challenging feelings all

PROWLS RESCUE OF THE WEEK

around. This is usually the point where the relationship ends, an affair happens or one or both people come to see me as a last-ditch effort. There are also those relationships where one partner is into the work and the other is not. The dangerous thing about that is one person cannot do all of the work for the whole relationship. It is never just one person who is at fault for the state the relationship is in, so why would one person be expected to take full responsibility for the whole of it? So, coming back to the initial question, “What’s the point?” The point is if you want to be in a relationship, current or future, it is important that you understand how to storm proof and that you want to really do it. We did not come out of the womb knowing how to play football or how to drive a car. Why would being in a relationship be any different? Niseema Emery is a certified intimacy and relationship coach in Powell River.

REWARDING REHAB: This barred owlet was found bruised, scraped and laying at the base of a tree near Kent’s Beach. With no way to find its nest, the owlet was flown to Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society in Delta for rehabilitation where it was raised by a foster father and a couple of foster siblings. Within two months, it learned how to become a fullfledged hunter and was ready to be flown back to Powell River for release. Powell River Orphaned Wildlife Society (PROWLS) founder Merrilee Prior released the healthy young adult in the same forested area it had been rescued from. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

High school pace requires navigation time Transitioning into high school is daunting, especially if your middle school was more like a close-knit community. It is overwhelming at first; high school can be a little fast-paced. Hallways are quite foreign, along with the classrooms. There are all sorts of twist and turns, then random room numbers that just do not seem to make sense. This can be stressful as the school is a place we are just learning how to navigate. Compl icat ions can arise with schedules, finding classrooms or just plain learning the rules of a school. Keep in mind that although there will be slip-ups and

situation. School curriculums are changing as we progress. High school is starting to resemble a university more and more, which just gives the feel of a mature environment. In the end, one can look at high school as a breath of fresh air. Yes, we will always miss elementary school and everything before then, but high school is such a big place where there is so much you can do with your social life and academics. It is a fresh start, to say the least, and it only takes some getting used to.

but at some point it will not seem as big. In addition to the hallways, there are so many new faces of teachers and students. It is a bit nerveracking to be constantly around unfamiliar people and not being sure what kind of expectations teachers have. You do not know your peers very well and, most of all, you just want to make friends and meet new people. High school is our own place, but being a teenager is hard; you are expected to act like an adult when people treat you as a child. It can be quite frustrating, but we are surrounded by people who are going through the exact same

By Paul Martiquet around the ankle and putting weight on that foot is difficult or impossible. Ankle sprains are notorious for leading to more ankle sprains.

A: Separation, in itself, does not change a parent’s guardianship status. A biological parent is a guardian if he or she has lived with the child or regularly cares for the child. What qualifies as “regular care” will vary depending on the circumstances. A parent will also be a guardian if he or she is appointed a guardian in a court order or in an agreement with the child’s other guardian(s). If a spouse begins living with or remarries a new partner, the new partner does not automatically become a guardian of the child. If you have questions about separation and guardianship, please contact our office.

support can all lead to a sprain. And of course, sports that demand sudden changes in direction such as floor hockey, racquet sports, soccer and basketball can all put too much demand on the ankle. In treating a sprained ankle, think RICE: rest, ice, compress and elevate. Rest the joint for 24 to 48 hours by keeping weight off the foot; get mobile as soon as you can bear more weight on the foot. Ice the ankle as soon as possible to reduce pain and inflammation; repeat for 20 minutes every two hours until swelling subsides. Compress the ankle by wrapping it with an elastic bandage; start at the toes and wrap toward the lower leg. Elevate the foot as often as possible, whether sitting or laying down. Even if you start to feel better, do not return to your old level of physical

activity until you can move the ankle as freely as the uninjured one. It may feel strong and pain-free, but ease into new stress cautiously. The ankle needs to fully heal before too much demand is put on it. Depending on the individual, an ankle sprain will take four to six weeks to heal, but some may take longer. As with any injury or disease, the best practice is one of avoiding it in the first place. Avoiding an ankle sprain means stretching leg muscles before and after exercise, especially the calf muscle. Always wear supportive shoes, not those “comfortable” but ratty old ones you like so much, and maybe avoid high heels altogether. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

Anyone who has sprained their ankle knows the feeling of helplessness as the ankle goes over, pulling dangerously at the ligaments. There may even be an accompanying crunching sound along with the excruciating pain; that sound can also include a cry from the unfortunate victim. Ankle sprains are among the most common of all joi nt i nju r ies. Because ankles must withstand great stress, they are surrounded by strong ligaments that provide stability. Unfortunately, that is sometimes not enough. Jumping or running can put three or four times your weight on the joints, and if a foot lands on uneven ground or twists even slightly, the resulting force can cause a sprain. Most a n k le spra i n s arise with the foot rolling inward, stretching the outside ligaments. When these ligaments are forced beyond their capacity, an ankle sprain is the result. Although ligaments are tough and flexible, all it takes is a sudden twist for them to stretch too far or snap entirely. Sprains are graded based on how much damage occurs to the ligaments. A grade one (mild) sprain will slightly stretch the ligaments and there may be microscopic tearing. Grade two (moderate) sprains result from partial tearing of the ligament and will lead to tenderness and swelling around the ankle. The most serious sprain, grade three (severe), results in a complete tear of the ligament. In these cases, significant pain and swelling occurs

Eileen Milsom

October 20, 1943 - September 13, 2017 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Eileen Milsom at home after a long battle with cancer. She will be sadly missed by her husband of 53 years Robert (Bob) Milsom, sons Ian (Jackie) and David (Margaret), granddaughters Sophia and Estelle and niece Elaine (Anthony) Currie. Eileen was born in County Durham, England. She attended St. Joseph’s Convent in West Hartlepool, where she was a good student and excelled as an athlete. In 1964, Eileen married Bob and in 1965, they had their son, Ian. In 1968, the family moved to Zambia, where David was born. The family then moved to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in 1972 and in 1979 made their final move to Canada to start a new life in Powell River. Eileen was a champion golfer and lawn bowler, and enjoyed pickle ball, walking by the ocean, reading, travelling and spending happy winters in Arizona. Eileen will be remembered for her courage, strength, friendly disposition and positive attitude. She was an inspiration to the people around her. No service by request. A celebration of Eileen’s life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Eileen’s memory to Powell River Hospice Society at prhospice.org or mailed to 14-4020 Saturna Avenue, Powell River, BC, Canada, V8A 5T4.

Grant’s Alberta family includes two sons, three daughters, seven grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren. He will be missed. A celebration of Grant’s life will take place at 2 pm on Sunday, September 24, at Mary-Anne Lawson’s residence, 7097 Hazelton Street, 604.485.8496.

June Lenore Mitchell (née Cornell) May 17, 1922 (Powell River) August 15, 2017 (Calgary, Alberta)

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Richard Hill. He was born in Zeballos on west coast of Vancouver Island and died in his home in Powell River with his family around him. Richard spent all of his young life in the small towns of the island including Bowser, Gabriola and Zeballos. Before settling in Powell River he travelled the west coast and spent time in Newfoundland. He is survived by his wife Willa; sons Sam and his children Allyssa and Clayton; James (Nita) and their son Neo; and Patrick (Terri) and their daughters Elizabeth and Victoria. Following his graduation from UBC, Richard did not stop his education but pursued learning, knowledge and wisdom all his life. He did this for himself but also for his sons, grandkids and communities he lived in. After moving to Powell River in 1977, Richard was active in the community through the United Church, Powell River Badminton Club, Crib Club and BC Salmon Society. As a teacher in Powell River he ultimately made his biggest contributions to our society through the fun, dedication and excellence he demonstrated in his classes to sponsorship of clubs and teams and replenishing salmon populations in local creeks. Richards positive impact on the young people he connected with is immeasurable. He taught science, math, woodworking and English at Cranberry Elementary, Brooks Secondary, JP Dallos and Oceanview Middle schools. He also shared his knowledge of how to make maple syrup from our local trees. An open celebration of Richard’s life will take place on Saturday, September 30, 2 pm at Powell River United Church, 6932 Crofton Street. Those who knew Richard are welcome to attend and are asked, if they are able, to go to the beach in the days before to pick up and bring a small beach pebble to the service.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE REVIEW The City of Powell River (the City) has a varied portfolio of real estate interests. The City’s lease portfolio has developed over decades and the terms, conditions and rates of existing leases for both profit and not-for-profit tenants vary significantly. The City has developed updated standard leases to cover both for profit and not-for-profit tenants. The standard document may not, however, fit each circumstance. The City seeks a qualified contractor to: 1. Undertake a comprehensive review of the City’s lease portfolio 2. Identify inconsistencies and develop recommenda tions, including timelines, for updating each lease 3. Develop recommendations for lease rates appropriate to each circumstance 4. Follow the City’s review and approval of the findings and meet with tenants to discuss phasing in implementa tion of new leases. The review and development of recommendations is expected to be completed within 30 days of being awarded the contract. The successful contractor may also be contracted to undertake ongoing assignments to resolve issues that arise between tenant and landlord, and undertake the work necessary to fill space when vacancies occur. If this relationship develops the work will be the subject of a second, separate contract. The review, tenant consultation and possible ongoing tenant relations work requires someone: • Competent in managing leases; • Familiar with lease documents; • Experienced with Powell River lease rates; • Skilled in maintaining quality tenant relations; and • Efficient time management skills. If you are interested in this contract opportunity, please provide a summary of your qualifications, your expected hourly rate and a list of anticipated expenses to: Kathleen Day, CPA, CGA Chief Financial Officer City of Powell River KDay@PowellRiver.ca Submissions will be accepted, by email only, up to 4 pm, Thursday, September 28, 2017.

Powell River Fall Fair Depending on the day, people attending Powell River Fall Fair last weekend had a choice of experiencing a summer or fall climate. The swing in the weather from sunny and bright on September 16 to cloudy and wet on September 17 seemed appropriate for a fall fair. An exhibit barn of prizewinning pickling and garden vegetables, baking, canning, a display of quilts and much more was a popular attraction. Children also took rides on a miniature train and local musicians provided entertainment while vendors sold goods and provided sustenance to the crowds. DAVID BRINDLE PHOTOS
