Program subsidizes wages Career Link connects job seekers with employers When the Employment Program of BC’s wagesubsidy coordinator brings a job seeker and an employer together, all parties involved reap benefits. Offered in Powell River through Career Link, a wage subsidy helps unemployed people who need training connect with fulltime work. “It’s a win-win-win situation,” says Peter Harvey, coordinator of employer services at Career Link. “It’s a win for the employer because they are compensated for time spent bringing someone up to speed, and also for the employee when they end up with a job they otherwise wouldn’t have due to lack of experience.” For staff at Career Link, making the placement is the third win, says Harvey. To enter the program, employers must have a position open that requires a minimum of 35 hours of work per week. To alleviate a perception that, since it is government-related, the program probably includes a lot of paperwork, Harvey assures employers he will lend a hand to complete the
application. “ We help employ er s through the whole process, including the training plan,” explains Harvey. “We are here to help make it e a sier for e v er y one involved.” Pacific Point Market owner Tod English and general manager Chris McMillan have used wage-subsidy services on four occasions. “It’s very beneficial, not only for new employees but especially to businesses,” says English. “Career Link’s staff is great at helping you follow the steps along the way.” T he compa ny h i red Adam Romagnoli, its most recent on-the-job-training “graduate,” last June. “Adam has been a great employee and seems to really enjoy his role,” says English. “We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of this program.” Job seekers wishing to access wage-subsidy services must have received employment insurance (EI) benefits at some point during the last three years, or within five years for EI parental benefits.

can also offer a wage subsidy to an employer hiring a youth who has attended post-secondary schooling and has never collected EI. “Initially, all they need to do is contact me for more information; I can help steer the process from there,” says Harvey. “If the wage subsidy makes sense for them and they meet the requirements, they are given a letter confirming their eligibility.” When applying for jobs, prospect ive employees can then include that letter with a resumé, which informs the employer of their status. “Quite often employers come in knowing who they
want to hire and to find out if that person is eligible for the wage subsidy,” explains Harvey. “If eligible, we determine what that person brings to the table and start them on a training plan.” Training plans are created based on each applicant’s previous experience and take into account how much teaching is required. “We look at the training plan and resumé of the person involved and figure out how big the gap is,” says Harvey. “Finding which skills they need to learn to do the job is part of the process.” Depending on the job, employees might spend from two to six months

training. “If they have previous experience in a similar area, they will probably pick up the training more quickly,” says Harvey. “That helps determine the subsidy period length.” For anyone not a current Career Link client, a meeting with an employment counsellor will determine if the wage subsidy is right for them, or if other available services are a better fit. “We want everyone to k now about ou r wagesubsidy services and that they may be eligible,” says Harvey. “All it takes to start the process is a phone call to set up an appointment.” Mor e i n for m at ion i s

working with the people involved.” Isaac and Muma agree the studio tour is best done over two days in order for those on the tour to take their time. “For the people who have come to my studio in the past, they’ve always looked forward to seeing new work,” says Isaac, “and they are very excited to see what I am doing.” Although Muma’s studio is open year-round, he says he has many more visitors during the tour because of the open-house nature of the event. “That’s one of the reasons why I do it,” he says, “so people have the opportunity to see what I’ve done over the past year.” While this year’s tour will feature many familiar faces from when it start-
ed in 2004, a fresh crop of artists will also be included. New to the tour this year are Lorna Downie, Bente Hansen, Gail Harwood, Meghan Hildebrand, Christine Oakley, Kerensa Haynes, Monique Labusch, Janet Southcott, Tim Poole and Elaine McKee. “We are excited about the new artists every year,” says Muma. “It is nice that the public always has new works to look at.”

Art will abound this weekend as 31 local artists open their studio doors to the public during Powell River Studio Tour. According to organizer and participating artist Alfred Muma, the studio tour is the perfect chance to meet artists and view their work in their own studio settings. “Every studio and every artist is different and everyone who takes the tour gets to meet different artists in their working environment,” says Muma. The free, self-guided art tour features 20 different locations from Lang Bay to Lund. According to Muma, the annual event is important to not only the artists involved, but also the Powell River arts community in general. “The participating artists benefit by having people come through their studios,” said Muma. “The tour also lets people in the community know that arts is alive and well in Powell River.” For organizer and artist Vi Isaac, this year’s studio tour will be her last as she prepares to move to the Shuswap region of BC. Isaac has been involved with the tour for 11 years and hopes to bring a similar event to her new home. “I’m excited about the possibility of starting a studio tour in the Shuswap, but I’m also very sad to leave behind my friends and all of the activity here,” says Isaac. “I’ve enjoyed the studio tour and I’ve really enjoyed

Victoria, BC-based pop/rock band Isobel Trigger strikes you with its synthesizer driven, high-octane performances. With exotic vocals, driving lead lines, and heart-thumping grooves, the band weaves a musical web that pulls you to the dance floor. Delicate innocence meets howling distortion; soft in one moment then crashing into powerful crescendos the next. It’s Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf all in one.

This Vancouver Septet, led by Filipino-Canadian Raphael Geronimo, shares a common bond; passion for Afro-Cuban rhythms. Individually the players reflect Vancouver’s cultural mosaic, sprouting from a diversity of cultural backgrounds. Rumba Calzada’s take on Latin music is also reflective of its locale. The equatorial heat of its percussion-driven sound simmers with the “cool” of West Coast jazz.

What a great opportunity to build a couple of speed bumps: one at Fairmont and one at Gerrard. Then we could pretend Westview is a residential street rather than a racetrack. A fragrant bouquet of beautiful red roses for the young lady who stopped to help this senior lady who accidentally spilled all her coinage in the doorway of a local grocery store. Rotten raspberries to the person who took down and destroyed a “slow down, kids at play” sign. Your kids live here! Raspberries to the people who park along the street close to the Marine Avenue stop sign at the Townsite tennis courts. There are two big parking lots to park in. Roses to all those who continue to further enhance our beautiful sea wall by building the inuksuks.

muscles. Did you know each foot has 125,000 sweat glands? Your feet can perspire up to a cup a day. That explains a lot, doesn’t it? Problems with feet are common. They can throw off normal biomechanics leading to knee, hip and lower back pain. Three quarters of us will have foot-related pain issues at some point. Many common foot problems evolve over time because of abnormalities in the foot or problems with pattern of movement or stance. Medical conditions like diabetes, obesity and osteoarthritis also contribute to foot disorders and problems of their own. The problems may be aggravated by ill-fitting shoes or poor choices in footwear. Let’s look at some common ailments. A bunion is a bony hump that forms at the base of the big toe where it attaches to the foot. This is often due to the big toe deviating toward other toes. The cause of bunions is not really understood, but it does run in families. It is likely related to the biomechanics of the foot and toes. To remedy the pain of bunions try rest, pain relievers and more suitable shoes. In cases of severe pain, surgery can be an option, but never for cosmetic reasons as the risk is greater than the benefit. Hammertoes occur when toes are bent at the middle joint. This can be linked to muscle imbalance in the foot arising from wearing high heels or shoes with a too short of a toe box. They occur
HEALTHY LIVING By Paul Martiquet in one of the three middle toes and can become very painful and interfere with walking. Another contributor may be putting your toes in a “grip” position, such as while wearing flip-flops. To improve the situation, choose low-heeled shoes with soft, roomy toe areas or wear sandals. A physical therapist can recommend ways to help retrain toes, especia lly if diagnosed early. A nother common ailment is caused when the big toe is forcefully bent up beyond the normal range of motion. This sprain is called turf toe, but it can happen in many settings. It arises when the shoe grips the surface while your body continues forward and may be related to wearing overly flexible shoes with poor support. Turf toe should treated right away with ice, rest and elevating the foot to reduce swelling. Because the injury may become chronic, it is best to seek treatment in all but the mildest of cases. St ress f ract u res, t i ny breaks in the bone usu-
ally caused by repetitive stress from activities like running, are very common sports injuries. Although they can be quite painful, they usually heal themselves if rested for a few months. Stress fractures typically do not show up in X-rays. Wearing proper footwear is the first step in good foot health, both for prevention and remediation. To obtain the right fit when choosing a shoe, start by having your feet measured. Size can change during your life and because almost everyone’s feet are a different size, it will help you to pick a size to fit the larger foot. Do your shoe shopping at the end of the day because your feet will expand and swell. A good fit means having about a centimetre of space between the longest toe and the tip of the shoe; you should also be able to wiggle your toes upward. Make sure the widest part of the foot has enough room and never buy uncomfortable shoes you plan to break in; it will not work and could cause problems. Avoid high heels, which can cause deformities by applying force to the forefoot and can pinch due to narrow toe boxes. If you must have high heels, save them for special occasions. Remember, if you take care of your feet, they will take care of you. Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for rural Vancouver Coastal Health, including Powell River, Sunshine Coast, Sea-to-Sky, Bella Bella and Bella Coola.

October 24, 1930 - August 21, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce that our dear mother and oma passed away at age 85 at Maple Ridge Seniors Village. Predeceased in 2009 by her husband Simon, Griet will be deeply missed by her daughter Barb, son-in-law Jason, granddaughters Afke and Sonja and her many relatives and friends. Born in the Netherlands, Griet worked as a seamstress until she married and moved to Canada. She resided on Texada Island and in Powell River and Maple Ridge. She was a wonderful, friendly person who always made you feel very welcome with a big smile. She took great pride in watching her granddaughters grow up and they were very close. Her family meant everything to her and always came first. A memorial service will be held at St. Patrick’s Church, 22561-121 Avenue, Maple Ridge, on Tuesday, August 30, at 11 am; a reception will follow. We would very much like to thank all the doctors and staff at Maple Ridge Seniors Village for the exceptional care and comfort they provided. Expressions of sympathy can be made at gardenhill.ca.
Georgina (Gina) McRorie McNeil Kendrick January 10, 1947 - August 13, 2016
Gina slipped away peacefully near midnight on August 13. She was the beloved big sister and friend of Alan Patrick (Maureen) Kendrick.
Gina was predeceased by her parents Patrick and Agnes Kendrick, her partner Herb Crabtree and good friend Brenda DeGraag. Left to remember her are Maureen’s family and the Lynch and DeGraag families, especially Nicole, Brendan, Kate and Roy DeGragg.
Gina was the “Food Bank Lady” to generations of Powell Riverites who met her. She brought the agency from empty shelves 24 years ago and turned it into a going concern on a volunteer basis. She was proud of her achievements both there and with her time with the New Democratic Party. Gina had a great sense of humour, a big warm heart and a love for reading, watching English mysteries, crocheting and puzzles. She had a soft spot for people who were troubled and often “adopted” them until they were back on their feet. Gina loved languages and managed to pick up Maltese on vacation many years ago; it stayed with her all this time. She was also attempting Coast Salish, “one word at a time.” The family would like to thank Dr Jacques DuToit for many years of attentiveness and advocacy. Thank you also to Dianne McKendrick and Jim Erb for the continued support to Gina and our family. Donations to the Kidney Foundation of Canada will be gratefully accepted in Gina’s memory. A service will be held in the future.
Powell River Hospital Foundation is working to improve your health care Donations are thankfully accepted prhospitalfoundation.com 604.485.3211 ext 4349
