Benefits bolster business
Frenchie’s Pressure Washing and Yardwork adds to service options E nt er i ng it s t h i r d y e a r of business, Frenchie’s Pressure Washing and Yardwork has enhanced services offered to residential and business owners in the Powell River area. Owner/operators Sarah Wilson and Guy Pouliot are ready for the busy gardening and springcleaning season. They are excited about the company’s new additions: equipment for dethatching and aerating; a one-ton flat-deck truck for hauling away yard waste or bringing in materials such as mulch or soil (up to five yards); and a new, heavy-duty van with a fresh new look. Due to water restrictions within City of Powell River and dry weather during warmer months, especially for homes serviced by wells in rural areas, it is advantageous to clients that Frenchie’s can bring its own supply of water to job sites. “The new van carries 1,500 litres of water capacity,” says Guy. “Water use has been a concern lately, and pressure washing uses a lot less than regular hoses or brushes.” As a further benefit, Frenchie’s offers hot and cold options for pressure washing surfaces such as house siding, driveways, sidewalks and decks. “The hot water really helps to remove stains and gum and especially from concrete surfaces due to oil from cars,” says Sarah. “It makes a big difference, it’s like trying to clean dirty dishes with cold water; it just doesn’t work.” When assessing a client’s request, Guy determines whether hot or cold water is required, the
proper tips or wand to use, and if cleaners are necessary to complete the task in the most efficient manner. To avoid possible damage to surfaces such as wood and streaks on concrete, the business partners recommend using a professional rather than taking a do-it-yourself approach to pressure washing. “Sometimes when people try to pressure wash themselves, they end up with a bunch of tiger stripes on their sidewalks, so it doesn’t look even,” explains Guy. “We have a Whirl-A-Way surface cleaner, which has a huge effect; it makes things look brand new and doesn’t cause any damage.”
Time is also a factor to consider. Some do-it-yourself tasks can take up to six hours for an individual to complete. In most cases, Frenchie’s can achieve better results for the same job in a third of the time. “It is a good investment that will improve the value of your property,” says Sarah. Other areas and items that benefit from pressure washing include gutters and all types of vehicles and boats, and it is excellent for paint preparation. Guy also recommends demossing roofs to prevent damage. He uses a very low pressure soft wash that kills moss and its roots. While Guy focuses mainly on the pressure washing, Sarah is

busy with the yard-work aspect of the business, including the new dethatching and aerating services now being offered. Aerating allows for better lawn drainage and enables oxygen, water and nutrients to penetrate through to grass roots easier. Dethatching removes the thick organic buildup of dead roots, leaves and stems between the turf and soil. “You remove the buildup and it improves overall lawn health,” says Sarah. “The dethatcher can also be used to remove moss.” Soil or compost can then be added, followed by a lime application and grass reseeding. “We can also provide clients with good care tips and preventa-

tive measures to keep their lawns healthy,” adds Sarah. Frenchie’s has liability insurance, WCB coverage and always provides seniors with a 10 per cent discount. After two years in business, Sarah and Guy are appreciative of how they have been received by their clients. “Last year went really well for us,” says Sarah. “We want to thank everyone for the local support and look forward to another great year.” For a free estimate or more information, call 604.414.7381, email frenchiespressurewash@ gmail.com, or go to facebook. com/f rench iepw yd a nd frenchiespressurewash.ca.

“It’s rea lly important to me to have a fun event where our clients can come and celebrate with us,” she says, “because they do get excited when we have a milestone and something fun like this comes up.” In addition to the giveaways, free stylings, a grand-prize draw and a 20 per cent storewide sale on products, partygoers will also be able to watch the salon’s stylists at work and ask for their own styling advice and tips. Clients will also have a chance to meet Afterglow’s ne w e s t s en ior s t y l i s t ,

With more than eight years of experience, Hildering specializes in barber cuts, razor cutting, colouring and special occasion styling. “Chantal is a fabulous fit for Afterglow,” says Lowes. “Her vision is really in line with ours; we’re really focused on the latest trends. We do a lot of colour and really progressive barber cut-
ting and Chantal definitely fits in with that.” Lowes says the planning and timing of Afterglow’s anniversary party fit perfectly with Hildering joining its team. “Chantal said she would like to start at the beginning of April and I said, ‘How about April 1? We’re going to have a party!’ She thought that was great.”

Perhaps you grew up in the era of the green mantra: reduce, reuse and recycle. Somehow, in this age of consumerism, most of the focus has remained on the last of the two Rs. While helping items find a second life by responsibly recycling them back into raw material is a great waste-reduction tool, that process misses the opportunity to ask the question: Do I even need this in the first place? Pinterest and zero-waste blogs are popularizing the idea of reusing items creatively. Finding a second, third and fourth use for things can create a great reduction in our waste, especially when done at a large scale, as in the case of reusing building materials. Choosing to reduce the square footage of a house in the first place, however, can go a good deal further. This is why the first R deserves more attention than it sometimes receives. When it comes to recycling, it is easy to become a little too self-congratulatory about a full recycling bin. Recycling is not always as good as it is cracked up to be. A more accurate description of the process can be downcycling. Items are rarely recycled back into themselves, but instead are downcycled into something of lesser quality. A few simple lifestyle changes can put your recycling bin on a diet. Here are some simple tips to put reduction back in the driver’s seat on your journey to zero waste.

She is predeceased by her husband, Bill and brothers Lawrence, Bob, Jack and Leo and her special sister Sigrid. Tess was loved by all that knew her and enjoyed doing what was ever asked of her. She had a great love for animals especially her yorkie Buffy.

Wally Pence
September 15, 1942 – March 18, 2017 A legendary man who would light up any room with his big personality, laughter and jokes, Wally’s adventurous spirit meant he lived life to the fullest. He is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Sandy; friend and first wife, Carol; daughters Cindy (Les) and Carma (Ray); sons Brett (Jane) and Matt (Pam); stepdaughters Michelle (Andy) and Wendy (Jerry); and stepson Doug (Kristi). Wally will also be lovingly remembered by 18 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; sister Lee (Keith); many nieces and nephews; stepmother Mary; and countless friends. He was predeceased by parents Don and Harriet; brother Roy; and granddaughter Cassidy. Wally’s zest for life included sports: curling, baseball and skiing, and an enthusiasm for hunting, which started young and turned to a passion for trapshooting. A competitive trapshooter, he stood out as the best for many years, even earning a spot in the all-star provincial competition. With his love of fishing and cooking, many will remember Wally as the host; sharing many meals and a few scotches, with friends and family. Personable and social, he belonged to many organizations including Elks, Masons, Rotary and various gun clubs, including Powell River’s for 47 years. He contributed many volunteer hours and especially loved the local projects with Rotary. Wally was always proud of his business. Helping the environment with his reclamation methods, he received awards and acclaim for his endeavours. Many thanks to Dr. Charles Van Zyl, hospital staff and palliative care for the loving support provided to Wally and family. A celebration of life and informal reception will be held at 1 pm on Saturday, March 25, at Carlson Community Club, 4463 Joyce Avenue. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Rotary Club of Powell River, Local Projects, Box 74, Powell River, BC, V8A 4Z5.
Barbara Ann Meraw One of Powell River's very own died suddenly on March 15, 2017. Barbara Ann (Annabelle) Meraw (née Mundigel) was born in Powell River on February 23, 1917. Free of the shackles that most recently held her back, Ann is now onward and upward, crossing into a new frontier. Perhaps another watery world awaits her where she can once again be free to explore the depths of her imagination, all the while seizing opportunities to make life better for those around her. For those of us left behind, we will join you soon enough. But we will not be in hurry, making the most of this life, much as you did during your 100 years. No tears will pass, only smiles, deep inner reflection and marvel at the humanity you brought to the fore. Leader and role model: Vision, initiative and creativity Ann had a vision when she was a small girl, to swim as far as she could see. Such a vision became a life-changing moment. For her, it was about being the best she could be, to push limits, in some cases ones that no human has ever duplicated (speed/endurance records in long-distance swimming). Community builder In 2008, Ann was inducted into the Order of British Columbia. Former premier Gordon Campbell et al. recognized her: “Ann (Mundigel) Meraw became Canada’s first female registered life guard (1943) and the only woman coach ever in the World Professional Federation of Swimming. She earned her living as a lifeguard, swimming coach, instructor and examiner (Vancouver Parks Board, 45 years). Over the years, she saved 63 people from drowning. She obtained seven world records in long-distance swimming, four of which still stand today (she was never beaten in competition). Member of the Royal Lifesaving Society (78 years), founding member of the Ridge Meadows Hall of Fame (RMHF) in Maple Ridge, president of her strata council, Block Watch captain and a community policing volunteer, among many other community activities. An elite athlete, a coach, a tireless community activist, Ann has a storied past and an involved present in Maple Ridge.” Broke new ground In 1934, Ann and three other women started what was to become known as synchronized swimming, all with the aim of creating entertainment. In 1939, she did a lifesaving performance for King George VI and the Queen Mother. In 1958, upon completion of her world-record breaking, non-stop, 55-mile swim (32 hours and 12 minutes), Ann was invited to meet Princess Margaret, who flew to BC to meet her. In 1945, Ann founded the Canadian "water babies" swimming program. Inductee BC Sports Hall of Fame (1985), sport: swimming, category: builder. Commemorative 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal (1992) in “Recognition of significant contribution to compatriots, community and to Canada.” Visit her display: BC Place, Gate A, Vancouver, BC. YMCA Metro Vancouver Women of Distinction Award, category: health, wellness and active living, 2012. Wrote a memoir entitled Marathon Swimmer (Maple Ridge: Waite Publishing, 2004). Ann also made a splash on the small screen when she became a technical advisor on the CBC TV series The Beachcombers. She served as the double for actress Juliet Randall in the show's swim scenes. From 1940 to 1982, Ann co-trained field-trial dogs with her husband (Joseph Thomas Meraw), who was renowned for training championship dogs. Predeceased family members President Ulysses S. Grant (great uncle, mother’s side), Joe (husband), William (father), Phobie (mother), John Grant (Jack, brother), Norma Marie (Pat, sister), Delores, Thelma, Marcia, Kay and Jean Earl (cousins) and William (Bill, grandson). Surviving family members Kathy and Kathy (nieces), Larry and Don (nephews), Christine and Mike (grandchildren). Mike writes, “Grandma you were my dancing and drinking buddy! We have some unfinished partying to do with John Bao in Vegas (look for us at one of your previous haunts: The CatHouse, Luxor Hotel next month). Birgit sends you a BIG HUG also. We love you! Vegas won’t be the same without you.” Prayer, funeral service, burial To be held at 10:30 am and 12 pm respectively on Friday, March 24, at St. Luke’s Church, 20285 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge. Ann will be buried in Maple Ridge Cemetery, next to her husband Joe, later that day at approximately 2 pm.

Adriana Anna van Zwietering (Jane) April 10, 1924 to March 21, 2017
Jane van Zwietering passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family. She is survived by her children Jane (Terry) Boulanger, Ann (Dick) Stroomer and Jack (Alice) van Zwietering, eight grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and three greatgreat-grandchildren. Mom enjoyed square dancing with the Star Dusters, trips to Reno with friends and bingo. She loved to sew and knit. “ I have to keep my hands busy,” she said often. We all benefited from her joy of cooking. Thank you Evergreen Care Unit for the wonderful care Mom received. We will all miss her happy sense of humour.
Joan Gemmell (née Malarkey)
We are sad to announce the death of Joan on Friday, March 10, 2017, in Powell River. She was predeceased by her husband Donald Gemmell on April 11, 2011. Joan leaves her daughter Linda (Terri), sons Bruce (Sharon, deceased) and Gordon (Karel), grandchildren Tory and Adam (Becca), Daniel and Katie, stepgrandchildren Tara (Rachid) and Erin (Ryk), borrowed granddaughter Lynn and greatgrandchildren Evelyn, Alice, Adela, Ellerie, Emmy and Luke. Joan’s family and her many friends will feel the loss of her loving kindness and the light she brought to our lives. May light perpetually shine upon her. The immediate family will gather in Joan’s memory later in the spring. As Mum was a volunteer for Powell River Health-Care Auxiliary, we ask that any donations be made to the auxiliary. It is hard to explain how deeply Mum enriched us, but a poem Bruce wrote for her some years ago expresses some of what we feel. Just as an experiment, stop for a minute and see yourself as I do Notice how brave you are, how good, and how strong Can you see it? Now look deeper. There’s more A light about you, almost There is magic inside you.

The family of the l a t e Ve l m a B r o w n would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who helped us during the last three months of our mom’s life. Our deepest gratitude to our friends and extended family who sent text, cards, flowers and meals; they meant so very much to us. A special thank-you to two of Mom’s friends. Eric, Mom so appreciated your help around the trailer, taking out her garbage and just being there. She enjoyed your visits. Rose, you have been Mom’s friend for over 20 years. All those phone calls, your friendship meant a lot to her. Also, to Dr. Brad Schweitzer, you were Mom’s doctor for almost 20 years. She loved hearing about your children and grandchildren, and of course the ups and downs of the Blue Jays. Thank you for your daily visits at the hospital and your kind and compassionate care at the end. A special thank-you to all the people involved in Mom’s care: first responders (even in pain, Mom enjoyed having her trailer filled with firemen); and the ambulance and emergency department who were the first to treat Mom in December, they were always so very kind and took the time to listen. As we moved into the fourth floor for the next two and a half months, the list of people who touched our lives is long and we were truly blessed to have them walk alongside us. To all of you who work at Powell River General Hospital, you are to be commended. Finally, we live in a most amazing town filled with some of the most caring people we have ever met. God bless you all.

RASPBERRIES Raspberries: While I mean no disrespect to the great work our community leaders bring to the table, there are many “ordinary” residents who regularly attend the same community functions they do, but are never recognized for their efforts. Roses to the gentleman who held my hand while I waited for the ambulance after I fainted at the bank. Thank you for your kindness. A dozen bouquets of Roses to the woman in the pink toque who found my wallet on Chilco Avenue. A bank full of Roses to the kind gentleman who helped me up from the sidewalk when I fell. A wheelbarrow full of rotten Raspberries to the man and his unleashed dog. A car full of Roses to everyone who drives on Malaspina Road. Each vehicle pulls over for walkers unless it is unsafe to do so.
