More than 120 premium items will be auctioned off in live and silent auctions Saturday night to raise money for Powell River Kings and Powell River and District United Way. The 16th Annual Dream Auction Gala takes place at Dwight Hall and the event has raised more than $800,000 in its first 15 years, according to Powell River Kings Society president Joe Mastrodonato. Last year’s gala brought in more than $50,000, he says. “This has been a very popular event for the past 15 years and this year promises to be just as good,” says Mastrodonato. Auction items range in value and bids can be made on anything from a $20 gift certificate up to a $12,000 hot tub donated by RONA Powell River. The live auction is hosted by Dan De Vita. Funds raised at the auction are split evenly between the Kings and United Way; the relationship between the two organizations has been very strong, according to United Way director and RONA general manager Pat Hull. “The Kings are excellent to work with. They have deep roots in this community and they are very committed,” says Hull. “Local businesses know the value of both organizations

Spring has announced itself in the songs of birds and thriving patches of kale in gardens. You may also have noticed the return of weeds in your backyard and neighbourhood, but are all weeds alike? If weeds are broadly defined as wild plants growing somewhere unwanted, then dandelions and Japanese knotweed could both qualify. Most gardeners, though, would mark a clear line in the soil between these two. Japanese knotweed falls into the more insidious category of invasive species, along with Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry. This international mix of names reflects the cross-border origin of these plants that have been transplanted into a setting they take over. If you spot some of the non-invasive weeds in your garden, you can see them as a free resource. Compost teas can be made from a combination of comfrey, dandelion and other local weeds added to water and stirred occasionally to oxygenate. Once sprayed directly on plants, a compost tea can act as a fungicide, pesticide, or herbicide, so it may be time to reacquaint yourself with the common weed and start seeing them as your garden ally. Invasive species are another story altogether, as they are hardier and tougher to control. To kill weed seeds, temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit need to be reached, and while a healthy backyard composter should hover between 130 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit, many do

Living a passionate life

Library lends technology Curious to see what you can do with a GoPro or a Cintiq drawing tablet? Need a portable microphone to finish your project? Or maybe you have a brilliant idea that will only be brought to life with a green screen. This year the library will be launching a technology lending program with the FOR YOUR aim of making costly, creative REFERENCE tools available to all. Armed By Rebecca Burbank with just your library card, you will be able to borrow some amazing technology. This program was born from a big question we keep asking: How do we help our neighbours develop the literacy skills they need to participate, create and thrive in Powell River in 2017? Like other skills, digital literacy is best learned handson. We see access as the big roadblock to understanding technology such as a GoPro, iPad or green screen. With the tech in my hand from the library, I can play around, try new apps and programs and experiment with projects I might have only dreamed about. Digital literacy is a new standard. It is required for jobs, degrees, communicating with family and filing government documents. We hope this program will make learning new technology fun, build confidence and perhaps make it possible for people to create something they had only previously imagined.

In my last column, I wrote about romance and what it’s all about. Now, romance is lovely and many people connect strongly with it, but it is important to understand that romance is not the only way to find excitement in your relationship. Romance might be a bit too soft or sweet for you or your partner, or there could be something else you need to feel more excited. If that is the case, you might be more connected to passion. Passion is like taking the sweetness of romance and giving it a spicy edge. Passion can become a highly sought-after aspect of a relationship without even realizing it. Because our culture, especially the media, puts so much emphasis on romance and “playing by the rules,” passion can become a forgotten thing. Passion is what happens

HEART OF THE MATTER By Niseema Emery when we let go of the insecurities and self-consciousness that often hold us back in our expressions, as well as the messages about being nice, good and compliant. Passion is largely about feeling overtaken, intensity and urgency. It is also about connecting with your authentic self, the things that

your partner’s hair, give firm touch or full body contact. When I talk about passion, it might sound like I’m referring only to intimacy. But the truth is, if passion is your “jam,” then the more areas of your life you can bring passion in, the better. As I mentioned earlier, connecting to your authentic self is a large part of living a passionate life, not just connecting to it, but going after what you truly desire. Something you might find is that one of you prefers romance and the other prefers passion, or that both energies work, but at different times, dependent on mood. Take some time to experiment and find out what really works; you might be pleasantly surprised. Niseema Emery is a certified intimacy and relationship coach in Powell River.

really align with your soul and make you excited to be alive, so it makes sense that when we are able to let go of the restraining self talk and allow the passion to ignite, our inner animal will come fully alive. Previously, when I wrote about romance, I shared how the energy of romance is all about feeling loved, special and perfect: the “happily ever after” type of stuff. If I could give you a visual of passion, it would be two lions circling each other, tracking each other’s movements with intense eye contact and conveying their intensity to one another without using words, waiting until the most perfect moment before moving in for the kill. The key details here are holding intense eye contact, tension and animal energy. You can also grab

THE LAW CORNER Q. My spouse and I are separating but we cannot agree on a parenting schedule or how to divide our assets. Do we need to go to court to resolve our issues? A. No. Court should be your last resort after you have exhausted all resources, including counselling, mediation and information sessions. Mediation is a process in which a trained mediator assists you and your former spouse to talk with each other to find ways to reach an agreement that both of you can agree to. This allows for both flexibility and creativity in the terms of agreement that often cannot occur in litigation. Often people find this a more satisfying process than having a court make an order. If you would like more information on the mediation process, please contact me.

PEAK WEEKENDER

Welcome to kindergarten Kindergarten is a highly anticipated milestone in life. Parents may find themselves feeling apprehensive about this next step in the development and growth of their child. Some children may also be nervous or upset at the idea of being away from their family and home environment. Learning about what to expect may help ease some potential worry about the unknown and unfamiliar. School referrals to public health practitioners, such as nurses, dental hygienists, sensory screeners and speech/language therapists support many kindergarten students’ learning experiences. This spring, annual kindergarten screening and immunization clinics will be offered in Powell River. Kindergarten Health Fair takes place on Friday, May 5 and Monday, May 8. Public health staff welcome all families to attend the clinics before kindergarten begins in the fall of 2017. In kindergarten, we begin to learn and acquire skills we use for the rest of our lives. Robert Fulghum’s 1986 book All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten reinforces this point. Five-year-olds

HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet can communicate their ideas well and also love to please the adults who care for them. Among Fulghum’s list of kindergarten learnings is: learn to share, play fair and put things back where you found them, a simple harmonious vision, which also includes saying you’re sorry when you hurt someone. Walking into a kindergarten class is exciting. Children experience the first day very differently, from eager in exploring to cautious in venturing forth. Some may surprise you. For example, a child who is quiet at home may gravitate toward musical instruments right away and bang out a joyful noise in delight. Kindergarten teachers excel in creating

interesting and relevant learning env ironments every day of the week. A lot of preparation is done behind the scenes to encourage children to be active, not only in mind but in their bodies as well. In the kindergarten setting, teachers set a firm and kind learning environment. Parents may worry should their child be quickly triggered by another child taking a toy they want. A child behaving aggressively toward others is just as concerning as when withdrawing and appearing easily put off in social situations. Conflict is a

reality in all walks of life. Having ground rules for resolving conflict begins in kindergarten. Kindergarten is an opportunity to express our natural joy and creativity in a structured way. World Health Organization states that health is a resource for daily living and not just the absence of disease. When we experience good health and energy, it is natural to want to share our talents with others. Teachers and parents encourage these positive interactions. These days, children are not encouraged to share lunches from home as cer-

tain children have food i ntolera nces. However, having lunch together as a shared activity teaches us at an early age to associate healthy food with social interaction. As a parent, you can participate in your child’s daily routine in a fun way by placing little notes or jokes in their lunch bags. Also, children drinking water rather than juice in the classroom promotes tooth-cavity prevention. Drinking water also reduces the amount of sugar children consume on a daily basis. Listening to the teacher and not interrupting when

other children speak ensures classroom safety and respect. Some children are easily distracted when the noise level is too high. Teachers cont i nuously monitor individual student progress and assess whether or not there might be hearing, vision or speech deficits occurring. For more information about the Kindergarten Health Fair in Powell River, or to book an appointment, call 604.485.3310. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

MAKE SAFETY A PRIORITY! THIS SPRING, BE CAUTIOUS WHEN RECREATING NEAR HYDROPOWER FACILITIES. WATER CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE QUICKLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. Pay attention to your surroundings and respect all signs and warning signals. www.brookfieldrenewable.com

February 16, 1922 February 26, 2017

A celebration of Marjorie’s life will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, May 6, at Powell River United Church, 6932 Crofton Street.

WARN, Robert Stanley Robert Stanley Warn - “Bob” 70, died peacefully on Thursday April 27th at 4:00 p.m. After a rapid battle with cancer, Bob succumbed to the disease in the arms of his beautiful wife, Dorothy Warn at his home in Prince George B.C. Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., Bob Warn served at the Comox Airforce base as a Corporal Communications Systems Technician. He met Dorothy in Comox, B.C. and soon made his way to Prince George where he started working for B.C. Tel/Telus. With a need to be back by the ocean he transferred from Prince George to Powell River in the summer of 1979. He continued to work for the phone company until he retired and moved to Vernon, B.C. and finally he made his way back to Prince George. “Papa” is survived by his wife Dorothy and their two kids Norman (Dana) and Cyndi (Marc). Papa has five grandkids including Michael/A.J./Carter and Courtney/Derek. Papa was an honest and caring man who loved his family, the outdoor life and his many dogs over the years. He loved to fish, mine for gold, camp and teach his grandkids to fish/water ski. Of Bob’s many life highlights, he truly enjoyed his many long adventures with his wife Dorothy in their boat up to Desolation Sound. Bob Warn’s wishes were instead of a service, a charitable donation be made to the Cancer Society if one so wishes. and He will be truly missed.

On May 9, elect Powell River – Sunshine Coast’s next hard-working MLA:

“When I started my 10 years as MLA, Mathew was 15 years old. I taught him that constituents want results, not excuses. Despite most of my term being in opposition, I achieved record investments in highways, secured fibre supply for local foresters, funding to build a secondary school, hospital, RCMP station and courthouse: the list is a long one. As his dad, I couldn’t be prouder of Mathew who will carry on this legacy of success for all of us.” Gordon Wilson, Former BC Liberal Party Leader and MLA

Mathew Wilson Works for You

“With support from family, friends, individuals and organizations on the Sunshine Coast, I made the decision to run for the BC Liberal Party. That support continues to grow as we head to May 9, after which I pledge to work for you as your MLA.” Mathew Wilson

Elect Mathew Wilson

Need a ride to the polls on Tuesday, May 9? Contact us at 604.489.1999 Mathew.Wilson@BCLiberals.com ElectMWilson.com facebook.com/electmwilson Twitter @matbbc Authorized by Gary Fribance, Financial Agent for Campaign to Elect Mathew Wilson BC Liberal. 604.489.1999

“Gordon Wilson was the last MLA who took an interest in our welfare. He helped us secure fibre, which has kept families working in Powell River. His son Mathew seems to have the same work ethic and understanding of the forest sector. He has demonstrated a commitment to working men and women in Powell River. I know we can count on him to help expand our fibre supply and grow our company right here at home.” Rory Maitland, Goat Lake Forest Products

Marathon Shuffle 2017 The 24th Annual Marathon Shuffle along Sunshine Coast Trail drew hundreds of hikers and runners from Powell River, Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland on Sunday, April 30. The 29-kilometre event began at Malaspina Road and followed the trail to Powell Lake Marina. Nanaimo’s Yann Bernaquez won the men’s shuffle with a time of two hours and 35 minutes. The fastest woman was Victoria’s Holland Gidney, who finished in three hours. A team of Powell River Parks and Wilderness Society volunteers organized the event. DAVID BRINDLE PHOTOS
