Meat and deli departments thrive Pacific Point Market offers quality products in key departments Pacific Point Market is a full-service grocery store that prides itself on a solid meat and deli program focusing on expert quality at affordable prices. One scan of its impressive meat and deli department and it is clear that Pacific Point is a place to shop for fresh and tasty items. “We wa nt to of fer a unique shopping experience,” says general manager Chris McMillan. “We have chosen to create quality products such as storemade sausage and other deli items.” Brian MacDonald manages Pacific Point’s meat depa r t ment a nd ha s been with the store since it opened in June 2015. With more than 30 years experience as a butcher, MacDonald says he has an easy quality test for all of his meat. “My standard is to ask myself if I would bring it home for myself and my w ife,” says MacDona ld. “If it doesn’t pass that test with me, it doesn’t go out.” In addition to fresh cuts of chicken, pork, beef and other meats, all of which are sourced from BC and Canada, MacDonald also creates value-added meat items that are unique to Pacific Point. “I make boneless stuffed chicken leg that customers get over and over again,

and they rave about it,” says MacDonald. “We also have a double-stuffed chicken breast and stuffed pork chop. I taste-test the recipes on the staff here and if it doesn’t pass with them, it doesn’t go out either. We have to like everything that we are serving.” Some h ig h lig hts of MacDona ld’s meat program include hormonefree, antibiotic-free chicken from the Cowichan Valley, fresh Canadian pork that is expertly trimmed and lean beef that is aged 21 days or more so it is extra tender, says MacDonald. Deli manager Jeannie Norman uses the same standards of quality as MacDonald, baking and preparing all of her deli items from scratch. Popular items include handmade breakfast sandwiches and wraps, burritos, sub sandwiches and a variety of made-from-scratch salads and soups. “We get a lot of great feedback about the deli and I feel the same way as Brian; if I wouldn’t eat it or give it to my family, I wouldn’t put it out,” says Norman. L i ke McMi l la n a nd MacDonald, Norman was born and raised in Powell River and has been working in delis for more than 10 years. She also began working at Pacific Point when it opened last June

and brought her flair for food with her. “A lot of the deli recipes are my own ideas and I’m constantly reading cookbooks,” says Norman. “If someone else is reading a book, I’m usually reading a cookbook. I find recipes and add things to them, as well as just make up my own.” McMillan says the secret to Pacific Point’s success

so far is the dedication and hard work of his team, as well as the market’s commitment to homemade recipes. “The staff members are all incredible; they are very dedicated,” says McMillan. “Their work is tireless and we really pride ourselves on the fact that they come up with their own recipes and everything is homemade.” MacDonald says Pacific

Point’s management and vision is right in line with his own standards and he could not be happier heading up the market’s meat department. “It’s a blast; I love it. I loved this project right f r o m t h e g e t- g o ,” s a y s MacDonald. “I love what [owner] Tod [English] has built here and the team he has put together, and the fact that we focus on qual-

The Timewalkers [from left] Eli Nelson, Michael Vincent, Ron Irving and Luke Isaac play their first show in Powell River on Friday, October 14.

“Everybody in the band sings, we all write songs and have been on all kinds of records and in the music business for a lot of years, so it’s really a bunch of fun.” According to Irving, the upcoming show in Powell River will feature two sets; the first is a traditional concert set and the second will feature a bit more crowd interaction. “The second set will be more of a dance vibe and we’ll get some people up on that big Max Cameron stage to do some dancing and have a bit more of a party,” he says. “Both sets will have a lot of hits by artists we all love, as well as some of our own songs.” Something The Timewalkers are not, says Irving, is predictable. With all four members playing guitar and

singing, as well as trading off on bass, the band “runs the gamut” of musical styles, he says. “A lot of the covers we do are ’60s and ’70s hits, but our originals are a bit all over the map,” says Irving. “One thing people really like about our shows are the harmonies, because we all sing. We’re definitely a retro-sounding band, but we do everything from modern sounding country pop to stuff that sounds more like Steely Dan.”

While all four members of The Timewalkers are excited to play a concert in Powell River next Friday night, Ron Irving’s level of excitement might just be a tad higher than his bandmates. Irving, who grew up in Powell River, has been back to play solo a couple of times, as well as for collaborating with longtime friend and local guitar mainstay Ron Campbell, but the upcoming show at Max Cameron Theatre will be his first time here with his band. “It’s a great looking venue,” says Irving. “It definitely looks a lot better than it did when I went to school at Brooks, and the theatre is really nice, so we’re looking forward to coming up.” Irving and Campbell got into music together as kids and have since collaborated on songwriting, including the title track for The Timewalkers latest album, Brave New World. Irving, along with the rest of his band, has decades of experience playing in bands, but in The Timewalkers they have all found the right fit, he says. “All the guys have a long history of performing and recording, so it’s really a labour of love,” says Irving.

publisher@prpeak.com A Powell River group has taken its expertise in knitting and turned it into a program that will help mastectomy patients across Canada, including local women. Powell River’s Knitted Knockers group began when founder June Vogl, a double-mastectomy patient, was presented with a pair of “knockers” by her sister-in-law. “They were so comfortable, so I delved into the idea,” said Vogl. When Shirley Koleszar, president of the local Sunshine Circle knitting group, asked Vogl to join, Vogl decided to bring her knitted breast pads to show the group. “I didn’t join the knitting club, but they were looking for a project, so that’s where it all started,” says Vogl. Instead of paying $350 each for silicone “knockers,” the group offers its knitted ones by donation. Comprised of more than 35 local women, the

group has been so prolific in their knitting efforts that Knitted Knockers of Canada is now taking its extra “knockers” for distribution to other parts of the country. “They are picked up and brought to Vancouver, but whatever happens, Powell River ladies will always come first,” said Koleszar. Weighing less than two ounces each, the “knockers” take just over four hours each to make, including knitting and finishing time. Finishing, which consists of stuffing the knitted pockets with polyester and balancing

them with a rock in the middle, is done by Vogl. “They are washable and extremely comfortable. They can be worn inside an ordinary bra or mastectomy bra, and they are also much cooler than the silicone ones,” said Vogl. While the group has the process of knitting and finishing the “knockers” down to a science, the hardest part about the project, according to Koleszar, is actually distributing the knitted products to women who can use them. “Probably the most difficult thing to do, after you have the knitters and the

yarn and everyone working, is to get the knockers to the breast cancer survivors,” says Koleszar. Koleszar said approximately 60 local women are currently using the knitted breast pads. With help from the Telus A mbassadors program, which also provided startup support for the group, Powel l R iver’s K n it ted Knockers group plans to continue raising money and awareness through its knitting efforts. In addition to money raised from the knocker donations, Telus donates one dollar per hour of knitting. To date, the group has raised nearly $1,000 for local charities. “The support has been o v e r w h e l m i n g ,” s a i d Koleszar. “And I’ve never had to ask about getting knitters. I just get women calling me and asking if they can knit.” Knitted Knockers are available by donation at Powell River Hospital Fou ndat ion of f ice on Tuesdays from 11 am-noon.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT POWELL RIVER KINGS DREAM LOTTERY

TOWN

I have been buying raffle tickets from the Powell River Kings organization for many years. I must admit that luck has been with me ever since the Dream Lottery started. The first year I was fortunate to win $1350 as one of the Dream Lottery Raffle prizes and, as luck would have it, in 2014 my ticket was drawn for the 50/50 prize for $19,980. Earlier this year, again may name was drawn on the super 50/50 draw for over $10,480. Like they say, you can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket. I am very fortunate to be a three-time winner of the King’s raffles. As much as I enjoy winning, I also like to support locals. I am looking forward to this year’s Kings Dream Lottery and see if I can improve my odds of winning. Go Kings go!

Consider mammogram screening

By Paul Martiquet For years women have been told they should be getting screening mammograms annually starting in their 40s. New research on the efficacy of such screening, and the drawbacks, suggests this is no longer the right way to go. So what is the right strategy? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, screening in a woman’s 40s is no longer automatic. Rather, they recommend talking to a doctor about the risk of breast cancer, along with the benefits and risks of mammography. Women aged 50 to 69 should have a mammogram ever y t wo years; those 70 or older should talk to their doctors about frequency. Of course, all these guidelines are for women with an average risk of breast cancer. Women at higher risk, such as those with family history or personal risk for cancer, may need more frequent and earlier screening, again, based on medical advice. This seems to be a significant change in policy for screening mammograms, and indeed it is.

but not detected. This may lead the physician to ignore other symptoms that suggest the presence of cancer and delaying diagnosis and treatment. Since research indicates that most breast cancers are harmful, any detected cancer should be treated as soon as possible. Few physicians and fewer individuals are likely to take a “wait and see” approach. This can lead to over-diagnosis and treatment that can include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or medication, each of which can lead to serious harms.

AIRPORT CAFÉ

How does a person decide when even experts cannot agree? Women of average risk for breast cancer should start talking to their healthcare providers around age 40 to at least learn the risk factors, limitations, benefits and harms of mammograms. And they should make the decision with as much knowledge as possible. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for rural Vancouver Coastal Health, including Powell River, Sunshine Coast, Seato-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

HEALTHY LIVING

It may lead to an obvious question: Who can possibly be against regular mammograms if they can identify cancer early in its development? In a perfect world, a mammogram will clearly identify a cancerous lump and guide the treatment to rid it from the body. But we do not live in a perfect world. A mammogram today is far superior to one a few decades ago, but it is still open to interpretation and error. That is where we see errors, such as false positive or worse, false negative results. Without going into the mechanics of statistical models, we know that in order to save the life of one woman in her 50s, some 1,250 women will have been screened for 10 years. But who could challenge the benefits of saving that one life? We must also consider the others who have been tested? What will their tests offer up? There are three main problems with screening mammograms. First is the danger of false positive results. That is when a cancer has been “found” but in fact, it is not present. Such results lead to anxiety, stress and perhaps additional painful but unnecessary tests, such as biopsies, to rule out cancer. Research has shown that in younger women the rate of false positives is higher, leading to uncertaint y whether regular mammograms for women under age 50 saves lives. The second problem is with false negatives. This is when a cancer is present,

Allan G. Brown

August 8, 1934 - September 13, 2016 Born in Victoria, BC, Allan passed away peacefully at home in Powell River after a short struggle with cancer. He was predeceased by his wife of 41 years, Pat, on August 14, 2011. Allan is survived by his sisterin-law Philippa Murthy of Santa Monica, California. Allan was an established Canadian poet, a prolific writer, a teacher and mentor to many. In his lifetime, he published 24 volumes of poetry, 11 chapbooks, one journal and more than 500 literary reviews. He wrote his first poem at age 17. Allan lived and worked in Kingston, Ontario, for many years before retiring in 1992 to Texada Island for one year and then moving to Powell River. There, he began teaching again at Malaspina College (later Vancouver Island University) and collaborating with the Malaspina Writers Group. “Precision and clarity” were his guiding principles. He was a good listener. Allan moved through life with a philosophy of acceptance and living in the present “as much as could be tolerated.” Allan took a deeper interest in writing haiku poetry in his later years. His final book of poetry was Before The Dark, focusing on his wife Pat's passing. It was well reviewed online in the Island Catholic News, where he was a frequent contributor, including theological review essays, as well as poetry and letters. Allan had a deep love of Victoria, where he spent his first 15 years of life, based on Green Street, where his father had a home and ran a fish wholesale business. His father died suddenly in an automobile accident in Idaho. Allan was with him at the time but survived, the only survivor of four people in the car. Allan's life altered radically at that point, as he had to relocate to Vancouver and live with his mother and her new husband. From that point on his journey into poetry seriously commenced. Philippa and those close to Allan thank Dr. DuToit, home support staff and the nurses and staff of Powell River General Hospital. There is no service by request. A celebration of life for Allan will be held on Saturday, October 22, 1 p.m. at the Town Centre Hotel.
