Volu nteer ism a l low s communities to strengthen and flourish. From service groups and community support services to youth organizations and sports clubs, volunteers play a key role in Powell River’s development and growth. “W hen organizations in the community are in need of volunteers, we try to fill in the gaps,” says Jayde Bazinet, coordinator for Volunteer Powell River (VPR). “Powell River is full of many volunteers; the community spirit that comes with that is truly heartwarming.” An initiative of Powell River and District United Way, VPR operates as a referral service for organizations in need of recruiting volunteers and provides a starting point for people interested in finding a place to donate their time and effort. “Volunteer Powell River is at its best when we’re filling spots in organizations or welcoming new members into the community,” explains Jayde. Since Jayde assumed the coordinator position and a new steering committee was formed in spring of 2015, VPR has been working to increase its visibility in Powell River. Searching for and encouraging more organizations to come forward with additional volunteer postings is always a priority. “We would like to have a wider selection of opportunities available for volunteers new to the community or people looking for something different to
apply for,” says Jayde. “We have a good selection now, but we’re always looking to expand.” The organization averages 10 new volunteers each month, not including individuals who choose to volunteer for multiple organizations or come back to seek additional opportunities. “People new to Powell R iver don’t necessa rily know what is going on, where to get involved or how they can help out,” says Jayde. “Diverse groups from across our area have an invested interest in volunteer activities.” Individuals can express an area of interest when filling out a registration form, whether it involves working with children or animals, in a health-related field, helping out with seniors, or anything that matches their own personal experience. “A lot of organizations are looking for volunteers with specific skills,” says Jayde. “We see a recurring need for capable drivers across different groups, which is something we can definitely accommodate.” Powell River Therapeutic R id ing A ssociat ion, Meals on Wheels, Better at Home, BOND (Babies Open New Doors), Powell River Hea lth-Care Au x iliar y and initiatives such as the ORCA (On the Road with Children’s Activities) bus program are examples of organizations that rely on and operate with the help of volunteers. “Because the volunteers come in to apply, we get to

know them a little bit more personally and find out about their skills, so we are able to make recommendations,” says Jayde. Student intern Stephanie Williams works with Jayde making and distributing flyers to further inform the public about services available at VPR. Sponsored weekly advertising in the Peak is also helping to raise awareness. “We are very grateful to Save-On-Foods for providing the ad,” says Jayde. “A lot of people come in because they see it in the paper.” For Jayde, who grew up in Port Alice and recently
graduated from Vancouver Isla nd Un iversit y i n Nanaimo, volunteering was a great way to get involved in the community. “I am relatively new to Powell River; I moved here about a year and a half ago,” she said. “Events such as the Celebration of Cultural Diversity were a direct way to feel included and get to know new people.” I nd i v idu a l s a nd organizations can email vprdesk@gmail.com, call 604.485.2132 or go to unitedwayofpowellriver.ca/ volunteer-postings.html for more information. Volunteer Powell River
will also be present at Career Link’s job fair on Tuesday, March 8. “The importance of volunteering is the sense of community it generates,” says Jayde. “I st rong ly feel that Volunteer Powell River is an essential service to a happy, growing community.” VPR is located at 4750 Joyce Avenue, above Rona Building Centre.

putting their song tracks together,” says Wikene. “I’m more hands-on be-
cause I’m a musician, so I will sing with them if they want to learn a part.” The eight shortlisted contestants will perform popular songs, including some where they play guitar or piano. There will also be group numbers. Contestants this year are [left to right in picture above] Dawson Wikene, 15, Mark Lindenthaler, 16, Matilda Bertrand, 16, Peyton Bradley, 15, Jay Baird, 15, Ivy Guillemette, 17, Rose Wadden, 14, and Jacob MacDonald, 16. At the end of the show, winners will be announced for grand prize, runner-up
and people’s choice. Last year’s grand prize and people’s choice winner Ben Wayne Kyle describes his participation in the 2105 event as “a motivating experience.” Powell River Idol specifies that previous winners wait three years before participating again and Wikene says this year’s event features a blend of old and new faces. “There are kids who are just diehards and they have been in it as long as I have been involved, but have never won,” she says, “and I see such steady improvement.”

Musical talents of community youth will be on display when Powell River Idol makes its return this weekend. Now in its 13th year, the competition will showcase the singing skills of youth aged 13-19. Local musician Renelle Wikene is in her fifth year as the event’s coordinator and says working with the young singers has been an inspiring experience. “It’s absolutely fantastic; there’s such a great energy with youth,” says Wikene. “I had a local artist give [the contestants] some pointers and she was blown away by how fantastic they are, and their willingness to try, try and retry all of these songs over and over again.” Wikene has taken her role as event coordinator seriously since starting five years ago, helping the youth singers perfect their performances before the big night. Being a musician herself has allowed her to become more of a coach and mentor, not just a sound technician.

We recently sold our home through Katheran Milne and Pinetree Realty. We found Katheran to be exceptionally professional and very knowledgeable about wells, septics, modular homes and CSA requirements (all of which we had.) She was efficient and instantly accessible by phone or email whenever we contacted her. She was excellent at explaining the whole process to us. She handled every detail of our sale right down to conveyance instructions. Her commission rates were also the best in town. We bought our new home through Katheran as well. She was diligent, attentive to our needs and gave us great advice in helping us to secure our new home in a bidding war. Katheran is AWESOME and we would highly recommend her to anyone with any real estate needs. Thank you Katheran, you’re the BEST!

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids? Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids. There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will sig nificantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid. This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manu factured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a customfit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.
For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behindtheear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak. See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.
Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss If you are interested in finding out more manufacturer Phonak, presents about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and the new Virto V hearing aids. Virtual function of the ear
“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech under standing, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a customfit solution.
determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be par ticularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet inthecanal hearing solutions. At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these stateoftheart hearing aids. Call 1.888.408.7377 to book your complimentary evaluation today.

Notice: Water Main Flushing The Operational Services Department advises residents that city crews will be flushing water mains throughout the city for approximately three weeks beginning January 20, 2016, to remove sediment that gradually deposits in the pipes. Temporary discoloration of water and/or water pressure fluctuation may occur during flushing. This discoloration does not pose a health hazard. If you experience discolored water, you can clear your water lines by simply turning on the cold water tap in your laundry tub, or an outside tap, until the water is running clear. The city recommends that you refrain from doing laundry if you notice the flushing crews flowing hydrants in your immediate area during this period. Upon request, the city will provide advance warning of flushing in your vicinity for establishments or people with special requirements for water clarity. Contact the waterworks supervisor at 604. 485.8642. City of Powell River will take all precautions to protect the environment and maintain water quality during water main flushing; however, the city cannot accept any responsibility for damage caused by low water pressure or the use of discolored water. Therefore, the city advises consumers to be on the alert for reduced water pressure and/or temporary discoloration of water.
