For owner/operator Derek Jantz and employees at Two Wheel Tech, putting in time at the shop is not considered work. It is rather an extension of a shared interest in powersport and marine vehicles, and how each individual chooses to spend recreational time. “We are all enthusiasts; we love to ride, go boating, fishing, jet skiing and dirt biking,” says Derek. “Whenever we have spare time, we like to be in the outdoors. It’s not a business to us, it’s our hobby too, that’s what sets us apart.” Powersport technicians work on everything from street bikes, dirt bikes, scooters and all-terrain vehicles (ATV), to personal water craft (PWC), marine outboards, snowmobiles and even generators. “Our business name is kind of deceiving; we do more than motorcycles,” says Derek. “There’s a wide range of things we work on, we have a lot of experience and all the right tools.” Everyone at Two Wheel Tech is a Red Seal-trained and certified motorcycle technician qualified to handle small engine repairs of any kind, from minor tuneups to full engine rebuilds. Each technician has a different background that complements one another, which enables the shop to cover all powersport customer needs. “We work on every brand, every make, every model; Harley Davidson, BMW, Triumph, you name it,” says Derek, also a Yamaha-trained technician who has worked on “almost everything” since entering the field. “One of our technicians was trained with Suzuki, but rides a Harley Davidson. There really is no limit to it; we have experience with everything.” Born and raised in Powell River, Derek has been a motorcycle mechanic since graduating from BCIT in 2002. He later trained at
Talented technicians Three Red Seal-trained and certified motorcycle technicians, including owner/operator Derek Jantz [centre], Martin Chalupiak [left] and Sebastian Clemens repair, rebuild and tune up powersport and marine vehicle engines at Two Wheel Tech, which opens at its new location Monday, April 4, at 7564A Highway 101.
a five-star Yamaha dealership in Vancouver until moving back to his hometown in 2010 with his wife Jessica. Upon the couple’s return, Derek initially worked out of his nonna’s backyard on Queen’s Avenue before creating Two Wheel Tech and moving into a space at 7024 Tofino Street. “It has been onward and upward from there,” he says. Four years later, another move and expansion is underway. Two Wheel Tech opens at its new location at 7564A Highway 101 (old bottle depot) on Monday, April 4. A grand opening will take place sometime in June; an specific date will be announced soon. “We’re building walls, painting, everything is new; ceiling, floors, shelving and cabinets,” says Derek. “The exterior is being completely painted as well.” The new space will include sep-
arate showroom, display areas and workshop. Staff are excited about the new layout and potential for future growth at the new location. “It will be bright and colourful,” says Derek. “We’re going to add a lot of new fun things for people to check out.” Two Wheel Tech also sells parts and accessories for everything worked on in the shop. Available inventory has grown substantially since the business opened and will increase significantly at the new location. “If we don’t have parts in stock, we can get them here within a couple days,” says Derek. “We stock a lot of parts for the ATV community, which is huge here; spark plugs, brakes, tires and tubes, all the basic tune-up and emergency items.” Having the right stock allows
technicians to “get people going the same day if they need repairs,” says Derek. “We also plan to have a lot of goodies for people to get their hands on; helmets, gloves, goggles and lots of fun after-market stuff.” According to Derek and staff, motorcycle and ATV use in Powell River has skyrocketed in recent years. “I’ve been back for five years and have been pleasantly surprised,” says Derek. “There are a lot of bikes in town, and a ton of ATVs.” For more information, go to twowheeltech.com, call 604.223.2240, email twowheeltechpr@gmail. com or search for the business on Facebook.

Wu Woom Festival is a fundraiser for Tla’amin Nation people attending the Vancouver Sun Run, including event organizer Cyndi Pallen’s granddaughter Jordyn Paul.
When: 6-9 pm, Saturday, April 2 Where: Sliammon Salish Centre Price: $10 Info: 604.414.3874
the event will go toward the cost of sending Tla’amin people to the 32nd annual Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday, April 17. Pallen’s 11-year-old granddaughter Jordyn Paul has been participating in the run for
formers for this year’s event and in the past it has featured not only Tla’amin singers and dancers, but also Korean singers, Tahiti dancers, belly dancers, Scottish pipers and more. “It’s been a really enjoyable experience for everyone who has participated,” says Pallen. “I know the festival is in its early stages, but we want to be able to keep it going. Our main interest right now is raising money to go to the Sun Run, but it may open up opportunities for other activities in the future.”

Q. I am purchasing a home. Am I required to obtain a survey certificate? A. Most financial institutions require a survey of the property if mortgage monies are being provided. Furthermore, from the purchasers point of view it may be important to define the location of swimming pools, garages, fences and other improvements of the property; their location can become a contentious issue after the purchaser takes possession of the property. If you have any questions concerning the requirement of obtaining a survey, please contact us.

Meaning “to sing,” Wu Woom is a fundraiser event to send Tla’amin people to the annual Vancouver Sun Run in mid-April. “Wu Woom originated because we enjoy singing and having people come and share their culture,” says event organizer and Tla’amin Nation member Cyndi Pallen. “We decided it would be a great experience, so we went ahead with it as a fundraiser.” The multicultural showcase is intended to support positive activities in Tla’amin and Powell River, says Pallen. “We seek to celebrate the cultural diversity within the Powell River community through songs, dance and food,” she says.

Saverio (Sunny) Pellegrin It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Saverio on Tuesday, March 22, 2016, at the age of 84. Saverio was predeceased by his wife Myrtle on March 29, 2015. He leaves behind five children Don, Brian (Sandi), Gwyn (Darren) Mills, Rhondda (Bill) Schreurs and Pam (Bill) Olejarnik, sister Mary (John) Velletta of Calgary and brother Ron (June) of Langley. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. A celebration of Sunny’s life will be held Friday, April 1, at 1 pm, upstairs at Royal Canadian Legion.
Cynthia “Cindy” Maurine Herceg (Née Nyschuk) Cindy passed away Sunday, March 13, surrounded by her family and lifelong friend Margaret, after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by Ljubo, her husband of 50 years, children Michele, Melinda (Brian) and Paul (Darrell), grandchildren Chantelle (Vanni), Michael (Melissa), Aaron (Jen), Brandon, Declan, Delaney and Danae, Stacie (Tony), Eddie (Allison), Ryan (Shalene), great-grandchildren Marlan and Marshall, Liam and Jordyn, her father Nijas and sisters Teresa and Sharon. Cindy was predeceased by her little brother Jeff and mother Mickey. Cindy was born in Vancouver, BC, on February 12, 1949. She remained in Vancouver until she met the love of her life, Ljubo. She and Ljubo married in 1966 and soon after began their family. The couple moved to Powell River in 1967 for Ljubo’s work and never left. Cindy enjoyed taking frequent trips to the city to visit family but never wanted to live anywhere else. Cindy’s lifelong passions included gardening, sewing and home decorating. She was a voracious reader and made sure to instill a similar love in all of her children. Nanny was also known for her love of cards and would spend hours patiently playing with her grandchildren. She showed her love for her family through food and was always coming up with new additions to the holiday menus. Cindy was a bright, articulate and determined woman. Her strength was never more obvious then during her three-year battle with breast cancer. Cindy fought hard to be able to spend more time with those she loved. She was able to spend her final days at home surrounded by the people she loved and the flowers she so cherished. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at Powell River General Hospital, the oncology unit and home care nursing for the wonderful care they provided to Cindy over the past several years. No service by request.

1010 Annoucements CITY OF POWELL RIVER
John Edwin (Ted) Hocking 1914 - 2016
NOTICE
Special Occasion Liquor Licences (PUBLIC OUTDOOR EVENTS)
Ted Hocking was born in Leyland, Lancashire, England on August 2, 1914, the day World War I broke out. He lived a long and active life, experiencing the astonishing challenges and changes in the 20th century. At the age of five Ted had part of a rib removed to drain and re-inflate his lung, a radical procedure at the time. It helped him to survive the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed millions of people globally. As a teenager his top marks entitled him to attend university with a full scholarship, but at 15 he had to leave school to support his family. Though he was terribly disappointed and bored by the tedium of apprenticeship, he gained acceptance and popularity (despite his working class origins) through his extraordinary ability at cricket and rugby. Ted’s persistence in finding interesting work took him to Rolls-Royce and probably saved his life. His work on the engines for the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster bombers was deemed critical in World War II, so he played a vital role in the war, but not as a soldier. In 1952, Ted moved to Montreal with his wife Stella and their four young children. He was chief draughtsman for Rolls-Royce Canada, but his real passions (shared with Stella) were theatre and the arts. The couple were mainstays of The Lakeshore Players, a celebrated amateur theatrical group on the West Island of Montreal. During the early 1970s, Ted was finally able to go to university, earning a degree in English literature by attending night classes at Sir George Williams University (now Concordia University). Over the years their four children moved to the West Coast; in 1994 Ted and Stella joined them, exchanging the harsh Montreal winters for the temperate climate of Powell River. “The best thing we ever did,” they declared, and they took to their new community with enthusiasm, making new friends through involvement with the Rose Society, Powell River Chorus, the hiking club and many travels with Heather Tours. To Ted’s great sorrow, Stella died in January 2015, but he took comfort in knowing he shared 75 years with the love of his life. Ted was a wonderful father, a devoted husband and an attentive, doting grandfather. He was kind, patient and generous, with an unfailingly positive outlook. He maintained an open and enquiring mind to the very end; truly a civilized gentleman and an inspiration to all of us. Ted and his family greatly appreciated the attentive care by Dr. T. Chao, staff at Dale Manor and in his last weeks, staff at Powell River General Hospital and Evergreen Extended Care Unit. Ted died peacefully with family around him on March 5, 2016. He is survived by his four children Isabel Otter (Neil Boyd), David Hocking (Heather Prittie), Nadja Hocking and Robert Hocking, as well as his nine grandchildren Chris Otter, Tim Miles, Layla Brack, Carla Prittie and Morgan, Simon, Rob, Madeline and Elise Hocking and five great-grandchildren. A time and place for Ted’s memorial will be forthcoming.
