The next trivia night takes place Friday, April 28. “We have confirmed BC Green Party candidate Kim Darwin, Safeway manager Steve Wadsworth and Laura Passek of Powell River Logger Sports fame for the next one,” says Sharp. “There’s no cover charge and we give a gift certificate to the winner.” On the live music side, local musicians Gitta May Nielsen and Doug Rugg perform at an unplugged-style evening on Saturday, April 22, with

a suggested donation of $10, and Vancouver singer-songwriter Shawn Rawlins is joined by familiar face Tyler Bartfai on Friday, May 5, again by donation. “I’ve dreamed of having a venue for a long time,” says Sharp, “and now it’s come true!”

The Vault Venue and Restaurant owner Amy Sharp has rebranded her business to focus more on events and food.

An Animal House-themed toga party on Saturday night will be just the beginning of a new era for The Vault Venue and Restaurant (formerly That Sugar Vault). The free event will feature the classic National Lampoon film running on the venue’s big screen, along with complimentary food for those in costume and drink specials. “We’ve enlisted loca l jokester Darren Nivens, who conveniently knows the entire dialogue of the film, word for word, to host the party,” says Vault owner Amy Sharp. “This event has no cover charge and free nibbles for all who come in costume, with a grand prize for the best group with five or more people.” Sharp says her reason for renaming the business was to simplify and make it clearer to customers that The Vault is an event venue and restaurant. “People still ask, ‘What are you guys, anyway?’” says Sharp. “I’m so excited about this new definition of what we are and what we do.” The Vault has an “action-packed” lineup coming up, says Sharp, including live music, trivia nights, theme parties, such as an anime night with a cosplay contest, board game nights, tarot card readings and even live art demos that will be streamed on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

We have all done it, either secretly, or in full light of day: tossed something in the trash we knew should have gone somewhere better. Maybe that somewhere was to a thrift store to become someone else’s treasure, the recycling depot to be transformed into a new container or maybe just out to the backyard composter to feed the worms. We know better, but what will it take to make us do better? What if our trash was audited like our tax returns? In Powell River, these are the dirty little secrets our trash cans would reveal: • 45 per cent compostable materials • 35 per cent recyclables • 20 per cent actual garbage Clearly, we need to clean up our act. A great place to start is with a compost bucket in the kitchen. If you are unable to compost at home, simply bring your lidded bucket to Town Centre Recycling Depot (next to Rona Building Centre) for free disposal. This small change can reduce your curbside garbage by almost half overnight. The next biggest piece of the pie is recyclables. Start by separating out beverage containers, which you will be rewarded for with cash if taken to the Return-It depot on Duncan Street. Most other recyclables, including glass and styrofoam, are accepted at recycling depots. Containers and paper are accepted through curbside recycling.

Value of traditional Chinese medicine Chinese medicine is a sophisticated medical model dating back some 3,500 years. Its primary focus has always been the prevention of disease. Where western medicine concentrates its effort on illness once it is revealed, the emphasis here is on health and generating and preserving life. In the classica l text Huangdi Neijing, it states that to wait for disease to arise before tending the body is “akin to digging a well only when one is thirsty, or to cast a weapon after the war has already broken out.” There are several methods used to preser ve health, some of which will come as no surprise: food and nutrition, exercise and emotional well-being. Yet what is unique to this medicine is its insight into an individual’s specific, unique constitution. If you feel too hot, spicy foods are best avoided. Those feeling cold will require some warmer foods and herbs. Health can be achieved by following simple daily practices that encourage hea lth and discourage disease in your particular body. A c om mon a n a log y used in Chinese medicine compares illness to a tree. The root of the tree is the pattern developed in the body over years of ha-

HEALTHY LIVING By Ginette Cloutier bitual behaviours, while the symptoms a person develops are its branches. No matter how often you clear away the branches, the root problem remains and is never addressed. New branches grow, new symptoms or health issues arise, all stemming from the same core pattern. Treating the root problem is the only way to change the progression of disease. This is the inherent art of Chinese medicine.

This concept explains the differences in how we experience a certain illness: three patients presenting with insomnia will have very different sleep patterns. One will struggle with falling asleep due to a busy mind, pointing to digestive issues. Another will sleep lightly and be woken several times throughout the night with difficulty staying asleep, pointing to a lack of specific nutrients in the blood. Another will be awake all night, a clear indication of a liver imbalance. In traditional Chinese medicine, disease is addressed on an individual basis. When the root pattern is established, Chinese medicine offers not only effective treatment, but a guide to a new way of life.

LETHAL DRUGS ARE out there

Find out how you can save a life. Every day, people are losing their lives to overdoses in BC. These deaths are preventable. Many illegal drugs, including party drugs, have been found to contain deadly fentanyl. And even more toxic carfentanil is now being detected in BC. Not using drugs is the best defence — using alone is the greatest risk. If you use drugs or know someone who does, help is available. Learn about treatment, and where to ﬁnd naloxone and overdose prevention sites in your area by calling 8-1-1 or visiting www.gov.bc.ca/overdose. Your knowledge, compassion and action can save a life.

Ginette Cloutier has a doctorate in traditional Chinese medicine from Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson, BC.
