Trusted choice for 10 years Tempco Heating and Cooling Specialists build on success Whether homeowners are considering upgrades to existing home-heating systems, installing central air conditioning for comfort all summer, or looking to improve the air quality in their homes, Tempco is the trusted choice Powell River residents have been selecting for 10 years. Powell River’s heating and cooling specia lists have been helping homeowners save money and improve home comfort by installing high-efficient heat pumps, natural gas furnaces and Regency gas fireplaces, including Rinnai natural gas tankless hot water heaters. Tempco, a 100-per-cent locally owned and operated company, is the factor y-authorized expert in Powell River for York, Carrier, Trane, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu high-efficient heating and cooling systems. O w n e r s Ty e a n d J e a n e t t e Leishman are proud of the highly trained expertise and capability of staff members, including Matt McDowel l, Col i n Turner, Dean Merrick, Tr ista n Pope, Der r ick A lexa nder, Ku r t is Den n ison, Jeremy Prosser and Crystal Burnett.
“A ll Tempco heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) technicians are expertly trained to handle any heating, air conditioning or commercial refrigeration requirements,” says Tye. Qualifications include gover n ment Red Sea lcertified tradesmen, including refrigeration journeymen, electrical journeymen, plumbing journeymen and class A gas fitters. “Being an electrical contractor enables us to complete a variety of different jobs from start to finish without the need to hire subcontractors,” says Tye. “Tempco truly is your onestop HVAC shop.” Jeanette, a chartered accountant, takes care of the accounting components of the business while Crystal, in dispatch, talks to customers in need of service. “We know having the right people on the job is just as important as choosing the right equipment,” says Tye. With energy efficiency and rising energy costs on every consumer’s mind, Tempco is proud to offer many choices for upgrading existing heating systems. “FortisBC is offering a
$2,000 rebate to homeowners who choose to switch out old, money-wasting oil furnaces and replace them with high-efficient natural gas furnaces and natural gas hot water tanks,” says Tye. In addition, on April 1, FortisBC announced that Powell River residents will see a reduction of approximately $52 per year on natural gas heating bills. Also, BC Hydro announced a rebate of $800 when high-efficient ductless heat pumps are installed. “Combined with our special consumer financing and thousands of dollars in manufacturers’ rebate offers, now is the perfect time for homeowners to consider investing in high efficiency,” says Tye. Due to it s m i ld West C o a s t c l i m at e, Pow el l River is one the best locations for an air source heat pump. Tempco offers two types: forced air units, using existing air ducts, and ductless units that can replace inefficient electric baseboard heaters. “As the York HVAC dealer for Powell River, a few Tempco staff have toured the York factory in Wichita, Kansas,” says Tye. “We have such a great relation-

McCartie, “and events like this just mean more people are paying attention to those issues.” Powell River is an older community than the BC average, so that makes it more aware of and open to discussing end-of-life issues, says McCartie. “People want their final days here to be good, and they want to have good deaths, for lack of a better term,” says McCartie, “and they also want to see their family members supported in their grief.” Pledge forms for the hike are available at Base Camp, Ecossentials, Family Tree

A. Underinsured Motorist Protection or “UMP” is additional insurance you can purchase to protect yourself from a driver who injures you or causes damage, but who 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 agreement with ICBC or through arbitration. If you have been injured and are dealing with a UMP claim, please make an appointment with our office.

Beverly May Hannah
Born in Vancouver, BC, on May 31, 1928, Beverly passed away April 25, 2016, in Powell River at the age of 87 years. She is survived by her sons Tom (Gillian) and John (Patricia Parker) of Powell River and Bill (Sherry Buchanan) of Vancouver, four grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Beverly was predeceased by her husband Jack in 2004 and her very special friend Dyson Gaudet, February 19, 2016. A funeral service will be held Friday, May 6, at 1 pm at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 164. Flowers are gratefully declined. Donations may be made to BC Cancer Foundation if desired. Arrangements entrusted to Stubberfield Funeral Home. A believer in Christ
Robert “Jammer” Ellerby November 16, 1944 - March 25, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dad Rob (Jammer). Rob was predeceased by his oldest son Steuart in 2012 and is survived by his daughter Allison and granddaughter Kaci of Powell River; and his son Michael (Karen) and grandsons Austin and Bryce of Fernie, BC. He is also survived by three of his five siblings: sisters Anna May (Jack) and Marg (Jake) and his brother John (Vera) and his extended family and friends. Dad was born and raised in Powell River and never wanted to be anywhere else; he loved it here. He grew up between Okeover, Lund and Townsite, knew how to operate boats from a young age, and loved being on the water, whether lake or the ocean. Rob worked in the paper machines in the Powell River mill for 38 years before his retirement. He was also a volunteer firefighter for 10 years (1983-1994) with Malaspina Volunteer Fire Department and gained many friendships being involved in the community. No service by request. There will be a family gathering at a later date. For the grandkids, as dad would say, “okay, bye for now.’’
