Powell River Peak enters new era Media hub expands digital and print services at new location Change has been huge at Powell River Peak over the past 18 months, including management changes, the addition of new digital and print products for business clients and now a move to a new office at F-4493 Marine Avenue.

Management and staff transitioned into the new location on Monday, June 26, moving editorial, creative, classified and distribution departments in the process.

“The new, modern space is an accurate reflection of our team and the products we provide,” says publisher/editor Jason Schreurs.

Since taking over from former publisher and Peak founder Joyce Carlson in January of 2016, Schreurs has guided the company through an ever-evolving landscape in print and digital media.

“We’ve adapted to trends and made a lot of fresh and exciting changes over the past couple of years,” explains Schreurs. “We’re in a new building now and feel more connected, even by just moving a couple of blocks down Marine; it makes a huge difference in where we sit within the business community.”

According to associate publisher Kelly Keil, who assumed her new position last August after spending more than 20 years in the company’s creative department, the locally operated Powell River Peak still offers the same quality products as in the past; new services only serve to enhance what the company can provide to local businesses and individuals.

“Everyone on this staff is invested in Powell River and have been for many, many years,” says Keil. “We have just grown and evolved; we offer many more services now.”

In addition to print advertising products in the Peak’s newspapers and magazines, a wide range of digital advertising opportunities allow business customers to target consumers searching for their products 7564A HWY

A team of social media experts help clients with all aspects of managing their online presence, including determining relevant information, posting it in an effective manner and choosing the best photo options.

“One of the reasons Joyce Carlson passed the torch to me was because I was born and raised in Powell River and I know this community very well,” says Schreurs.

“Powell River Peak is your best advertising option in town because of the variety of our products, as well as our knowledgeable and skillful team.”

Schreurs says Powell River Peak’s digital sales team can boost social media pages in a more effective way than businesses that rely solely on posting ads and updates.

“We can develop social media campaigns for businesses with guaranteed results,” says Schreurs. “Boosting posts on business pages and hoping for the best isn’t the best way to increase your social media presence; you need effective content first, and we provide that.”

Schreurs and Keil emphasize the importance of connecting with local readers and businesses, keeping them informed

Cruisers on display at weekly event A&W Restaurant showcases local vehicles to raise money for charity Like an old-fashioned show and shine, A&W R e s t a u r a n t ’s w e e k l y Cruisin’ the Dub events are a chance for local car enthusiasts to come together and marvel over shiny paint jobs and what’s under the hood.

Running every Thursday night through the summer from 6-8 pm, Cruisin’ the Dub is an everyone-welcome event highlighting classic, custom and vintage cars, trucks and motorcycles. The perfect summer night can be capped off with a root beer float on sale for $2.

“I wish I had money to buy a classic car,” jokes A&W co-owner Matt Lister, “but I sure like looking at them.”

Now in its ninth year, the weekly showcase averages 30-35 cars all of makes, models and eras, says Lister.

Classic cars are just some of the many impressive vehicles on display at A&W Restaurant’s weekly Cruisin’ the Dub event leading up to a Burgers to Beat MS event in August.

One on ly needs to read Powell River Peak’s reg u la r feat u re Peak Performance to see how vintage car collecting is something many area residents enjoy.

Lister says the event has been successful for as long as it has because of the enthusiasm the community shows for classic vehicles.

“It’s everyone from kids to older people, and they all want to see the different cars that come in each week,” says Lister. “It’s a big thing in Powell River.”

The Thursday summer

evening events lead up to an August 24 Burgers to Beat MS fundraiser where $1 from every Teen Burger sold goes to MS Society of Canada.

According to Lister, the nationwide A&W campaign will have raised more than $10 million by the end of this year and the restaurant takes donations at the

till year-round.

Weekly Cruisin’ the Dub events are a chance for the community to get together and share their love for nostalgia, said Lister.

“People enjoy checking out the cars and showing their cars,” he says, “and it’s a nice reason to get everyone out in the sunshine and together in one place.”

A: Underinsured Motorist Protection or “UMP” is additional insurance that you can purchase to protect yourself from a driver who injures you or causes damage but does not have sufficient insurance in place to cover all your costs. In this situation your own UMP coverage can provide additional funds. UMP coverage can be complicated to collect, however, the amount of compensation available is usually determined by an agreement with ICBC or through arbitration. If you have been injured and are dealing with an UMP claim, please make an appointment with our office.

Long-awaited opening On Tuesday, July 6, we opened the doors to the new Powell River Public Library and were immediately overrun by people clambering to get inside. It was a very happy day.

While I have been waiting to be in the new library for more than two years, some people have been waiting decades. This project has not been simple or linear, but has FOR YOUR truly demonstrated the desire REFERENCE this community has for its new

By Rebecca Burbank library.

Public use of the space, even on the first day, was better than we could have imagined. Kids were curled up with books everywhere you looked.

Children now have their own space for studying, reading, writing and learning. This generation of children has a new model of what a library is. This is their new normal. How simple and life-changing is that?

To our surprise, the teen space had real teens in it, and they were reading happily. By upgrading from one shelving unit to a whole room for this crowd we hoped it would support teens, but seeing it in person really demonstrated the importance of the space.

All week we have been meeting new people who had never been in the library before, or not since they were children.

That was the goal all along: give more value to more people in our community and give them a new space to be proud of.

Keeping wildlife safe

LET’S TALK TRASH Households that do not compost should be aware that their bins likely have about 40 per cent of organic material mixed in and can be a calling card to all manner of hungry animals.

Reducing the likelihood of an unwanted encounter is better than taking corrective measures after the fact. Once bears identify something as a food source, they are more apt to return, even when there is no odour or attractant.

A few other tips include rinsing out garbage, re-

cycling and compost bins regularly, especially if they are made from plastic, which absorbs odours over time. Avoid the seemingly innocent practice of tossing kitchen scraps in the bush, as it makes bears associate humans with food and habituates them.

Following these tips can help keep wildlife wild and people safe.

Summer is barely upon us, but reports of bear activity are already rolling in from concerned residents.

Cute and cuddly from a distance, bears are wild animals that can behave unpredictably, endanger people and pets and cause damage to property.

Keeping bears, humans and pets safe is possible when a few precautions are taken.

Start with odour management. Bears have a strong sense of smell. There is no hiding a tasty tidbit from these furry foragers, so be mindful with attractants such as compost, yard waste (especially grass clippings), unwashed recyclables and mixed waste.

WildSafeBC recommends storing these attractants in well-built enclosures with tight lids until the morning of collection, or prior to taking them to an appropriate depot. Do not wait too long to manage these attractants; if you can smell it, so can the bears.

Backyard composters are less likely to attract wildlife when they are properly managed. Add leaves, wood shavings or shredded newspaper in equal volumes to kitchen scraps to make the compost work as it should.

Meat, f ish a nd da i r y products (along with plate scrapings and yard waste under 20 pounds) can be dropped off at Town Centre Rec ycl i ng Depot’s f ree community-compost collection bin if you are wary of adding them into your home compost.

How to save money with a professional inspection

You have visited a property a few times and know a bit about construction. Nothing abnormal has caught your eye. The house is practically new, so why waste a few hundred dollars having it inspected?

Consider a scenario where you have just moved into a new home, heavy rainfall ensues and water drips through the bedroom ceiling. There was no indication such a problem existed, no stains or traces of mould, and even the roof you inspected from ground level seemed to be in perfect condition.

A home inspector might have detected a problem in the attic or roof before you bought the home. Even if he or she had not seen anything apparent, using the service allows you to demonstrate that you took all necessary precautions before buying. In this case, the seller could be held liable to pay for all repair work.

By insisting on an inspection it makes the purchase conditional on your satisfaction and allows some flexibility to open the door to negotiations.

Are there cracks in the basement foundations? Are some windows not sealed properly? Is the heating and air conditioning system defective?

What is the condition of the roof, electrics, plumbing, insulation, ventilation, interior and exterior walls and ceilings?

All necessary repair work can be used to negotiate the selling price, especially if spotted by a certified inspector and noted in the report.

A professional home inspection is the best way to protect yourself against hidden defects and other surprises that can occur when you least expect them.

In addition to giving you peace of mind, a professional inspection can help you acquire the home of your dreams for less money. Why pass that up?

POWELL RIVER, BC

Why have a home inspected?

• A home inspection tells homebuyers what shape the structure is in and the condition of systems installed inside, allowing them to predict the cost of any necessary maintenance work that needs to be completed in the future.

• If the home requires urgent and expensive work such as re-roofing, the report can be used as leverage to demand the repairs are completed or to negotiate a lower selling price.

FEATURED LISTINGS

• Major flaws that can reduce the building’s value or pose a risk of danger in the future can be detected.

PEAK WEEKENDER

Summer provides time to rejuvenate I have enjoyed writing these columns over the past few months and sharing my opinion, but since it is summer now, I have decided to take time off until the new school year begins; by then there will be plenty more topics to write about.

As this is my last article for the summer, I want to talk about opportunities we as students are so lucky to have over the summer break.

To begin with, we should use our free time wisely.

We are fortunate because

We should not spend the summer worrying about the future. Why not take time for ourselves, maybe watch a sunset or lay on the beach all day without a care in the world?

Spending time in solitary can be incredibly rejuvenating and something a lot of us look forward to in the summer; just to have a moment where we are not worrying about overdue assignments or tests.

though, and not to take for granted, is that as students our education system offers many opportunities such as going to camp or visiting another part of the world.

Even though we have time off, it does not mean we have to stop learning.

We should take advantage of this free time and perhaps even just look into activities that go on in our community over the summer.

unlike adults, who rarely have such a break, unless they choose to become a teacher.

In past articles, I wrote about how important it is to manage time and control stress, but now especially is a perfect time to find ways to relax and manage our personal stressors.

Summer is a time for only fun, whether it involves spending time at the beach, going on a vacation with family, or maybe just taking a staycation.

PEAK WEEKENDER

Water safety crucial for summer It is summertime, the sun is hot and children are about to be let loose in parks and at beaches. Getting into the water, whether ocean, lake or river, means summer fun and cool relief from hot weather.

But water can also be dangerous for children if parents do not take some precautions. Are you ready to help your children be safe around the water?

Drowning is a significant risk for children, even where it seems unlikely, impossible even. Drowning is the second leading cause of preventable death for children, with those under age five at particular risk.

Children are attracted to water but cannot understand the potential danger.

According to preventable. ca, half of children who drown are alone and unsupervised at the time. For each toddler who dies from drowning, six to 10 neardrowning cases require hospitalization. Of those, 20 per cent result in permanent brain damage.

HEALTHY LIVING

By Paul Martiquet It is difficult to comprehend your child drowning, but there are things we can all do to reduce that risk.

There is no substitute for active supervision when children are around the water. That means being attentive at all times, putting away that phone and forgetting about all the other things you need to do.

For younger kids, “touch supervision” is the rule, which means being within immediate reach when they are in or near water.

If your child already

knows how to swim, great, but do not assume they should not be supervised.

If your child does not know how to swim, enrol them in a program that will teach them. They will not only learn to swim, but also how to be safe around water.

Mandatory when boating, personal f loatation devices (PFD) are good for

children to wear whenever they are near water. The devices will not reduce the need for supervision, but they certainly make things easier and safer for your child. Consider requiring all non-swimmers to wear a PFD to give them the best chance if they end up in trouble in the water.

On the topic of PFDs, fun

toys such as water wings, noodles and inflatables are not swimming aids. They are great to play with and keep kids active, but they cannot substitute for safety, so do not rely on them.

We live in a region with amazing water resources.

Many of us have boats, kayaks and other watercraft, and most of us have a fa-

vourite beach or lake. Who does not have a memory of some wonderful summer from childhood? Keeping summer memories wonderful involves being careful around water.

Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

Paul Yungen

March 6, 1940 - June 16, 2017

On June 16, 2017, we said goodbye to our dad. He passed away peacefully at home in the loving care of his best friend and wife, Ingrid.

Paul received his cancer diagnosis one year ago and fought a very brave battle. We will miss you dad, grandpa, Paul. We were truly blessed to have had you as the head of our family.

Paul was predeceased by his first wife Julis Yungen. He is survived by his wife Ingrid Yungen and her family, his son Curtis (Cheryl), daughter Christine, grandsons Cole (Reika), Bret (Zoe), Corey (Stephanie) and Jason, his greatgranddaughters Alexa and Athena, sister Liz (Wes), brothers Ernie and Verner (Sharel), sister-in-law Kimi, as well as several other extended family members and friends.

We would like to thank the nursing staff on the fourth floor and Doctor Meyer for all of their care and support.

Paul will miss having coffee with his friends, riding his motorcycle, working on friends’ computers and spending time with his family.

A service to celebrate Paul's life will be held at 1 pm on Friday, July 21, at Stubberfield Funeral Home.

Until we meet again, Dad, we love you very much. Thank you for all you gave us throughout your life; we miss you.

Isabella Todd Scouse 1912 - 2017

On June 16, 2017, at the age of 105, we lost our mom, the cherished heart and soul of our family.

Ella was predeceased by her husband Hughie and her loving daughter Lynne.

She is survived by daughters Gail (Len) and Vicki (Larry), eight grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren, as well as her dear friend Audrey.

Mom and Dad were longtime residents of Powell River, having arrived in 1941 when Dad took over the Imperial Oil agency.

Mom was the ultimate hostess, had a great sense of style and never wore a pair of jeans in her life. Practical and creative, strong, independent and resilient, she inspired everyone she met.

She loved travelling, entertaining, knitting, a good book, ceramics, music and her home; but most of all she loved her family.

Mom has left us with a lifetime of memories and a legacy of love that we will carry with us into the future.

We would like to thank the care aides who attended to Ella in her home, especially Evelyn, as well as Dr. Skobkareva and the staff of Evergreen Care Unit, for their kindness, support and care.

There is no service at Ella’s request, but the family will gather for a glass of wine and a “good cup of tea” at a later date, to celebrate her wonderful life.

Carole Harrell (née Pulkrabek) September 7, 1943 - June 13, 2017 It is with heavy hearts we announce Carole’s passing. She was predeceased by her mother Myrtle, father Joe, brother Gary and sisters Debbie and Cindy. Carole will be deeply missed by her son Todd Simon (Mayumi), daughter Kim Simon, three grandchildren Kenta, Isabella and Jacob, sisters Sharon Adams (Don) and Susan McCartney (Ken), and her nieces and nephews.

Lisetta Rosina Potesta (Vitellone) Lisetta died peacefully on June 19, 2017, at the age of 89. She was born in Bagnoli de Trigno, Italy, on January 12, 1928.

Lisetta was predeceased by her husband Pietro. She is survived by her sister Esterina, stepsisters Gina and Rina, daughters Emilia and Rosanna, grandchildren Tanya, Richard, Ryan and Leah, and greatgrandchildren Jessie, Ava and Anthony.

Mass will be held at 7:30 pm on Friday, July 14, at Church of the Assumption, 7109 Glacier Street.

Geertje Van Es Born April 21, 1917, in Amsterdam, Holland, Geertje passed away peacefully on June 27, 2017, in Powell River, BC. She is survived by four children: Joe, Rien, Tina and Marja, 12 grandchildren, 18 greatgrandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren. “Gerty” possessed a strong, independent spirit and was loved and admired by all who met her. In spite of many operations and various ailments throughout her long life, she had a very generous nature and always wanted to help those less fortunate or those in need. She wanted to thank all the caregivers at Evergreen Care Unit for their loving care and attention.

God bless.

Braxton Rodney Richard Leask June 24, 1996-June 17, 2017

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Braxton Leask. He was just 20 years old when his life was tragically taken from him, alongside his best friend Dylan Buckle.

Braxton and Dylan were bright, jubilant individuals who were inseparable as a pair. As avid soccer players they formed tight bonds with their teammates and other community members. Their travels touched lives across multiple countries and continents. We will all miss Braxton’s and Dylan’s exuberance and positivity.

They both had many family and friends who all cared for them deeply.

Braxton leaves behind his mother Nichelle Guignard (Calvin Hicks), his father Rodney Leask (Jikel Keys), his brothers Kane Leask, Taylor Lance (Ariana Sian) and Calum Leask (Rose-Lynn Wadden), his sister Miranda Leask, and his niece Sophia Spencer.

A joint service for Braxton and Dylan will be held at 12:30 pm on Saturday, July 8, at Evergreen Theatre in Powell River Recreation Complex.

The family asks that family, friends, and community members pray for Braxton and Dylan – as well as the survivors of this tragedy, and their families.

In lieu of flowers the family asks the community to please donate to Powell River Mental Health and Addiction Services.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Lucia D’Angio

It is with great sadness the family of Lucia announces her passing. She was born on March 5, 1933, in Bagnoli del Trigno, Italy. Lucia passed away in Powell River on July 1, 2017, at the age of 84.

Lucia is survived by her two sons John (Donna) D’Angio and Frank (Barb) D’Angio; her five grandchildren Broden (Monique), Blake (Kristen), Katelyn (Terence) Narain, Sean (Kelsey) and Jenna (Patrick); and her two great-grandchildren Theodore and Annalise Narain. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Augustina (née D’Angio) Hodgson, along with many nieces and nephews in Canada, Italy and England.

Lucia was predeceased by her husband Ralphael D’Angio, her mother and father Gioacchino and Giuseppina (née Ciarniello) Tinaburri, her sister Anna (Andrea) Ianiero and her brother Raffaele Tinaburri.

Lucia moved to Powell River in 1956 where she married Ralphael. She was a very independent person and was very interested in learning. Shortly after arriving in Canada she enrolled in several courses at Malaspina College. She learned to speak English and then to drive a car. In 1964, she received her Canadian citizenship. All the while, she was integrating more and more into the Canadian lifestyle and was very proud to be a Canadian. She always loved to celebrate Canada Day picnicking at the beach with her family. A few more years passed and then Lucia went to work as a cook at the former Inn at Westview until her retirement in 1993. After that, she loved spending her free time with her grandchildren, knitting, baking, canning and taking care of her garden.

Thank you to staff at Kiwanis Garden Manor and Willingdon Creek Village who provided Lucia with such wonderful support and care over the past five years. We would also like to thank Dr. Burns for his aid during her final months.

Lucia will be deeply missed by all of her family and friends.

Prayers will be held at Church of the Assumption at 5 pm on Thursday, July 6, with a funeral service following at 1:30 pm on Friday, July 7.

In remembrance of Lucia, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation.

PEAK WEEKENDER

Get results, fast!

A lot of neighbours, friends and family really liked the story and people are stopping me on the street and saying they are going to give me a call. The response has been fantastic.

The whole process was enjoyable, right from the preliminary discussion to the interview and photography.

It was smooth and well worth the money.

My business and brand have definitely benefited from purchasing Front Page News.

Anyone running a business should be sure they are ready before they go on the front page of Peak Weekender, because it was like a switch flipped; right away the phone was ringing.

I’m very busy because of the article.

Canada Day celebrations

Whether Powell River area residents were at a backyard barbecue, on a boat, at a cabin or spending the day at a beach, celebrations at Willingdon Beach and Powell River Farmers’ Market brought crowds out on Canada Day. The nation’s 150th birthday on July 1 provided an extra sense of pride and patriotism. Canada Day showcased the cultural mosaic of Powell River.
