Cooper thrilled with re-electionMunicipal vote: Salmon Arm council made up of three incumbents, three new additions.

The anxiety and sleepless nights were forgotten with the arrival of a one-word text.

“Wo-bam.”To Nancy cooper and her family, Wo-

bam, the word created some time ago by a young grandson, indicates if something is good.

She received the text from a family mem-ber who was monitoring the election night count at the community centre.

Not long after came a follow-up text.“Wo-frickin-bam.”cooper had been re-elected by a land-

slide, or, as one family member described it, a rockslide.

unofficial results show cooper winning with 2,343 votes, more than 1,200 over second-place finisher, former mayor Marty Bootsma’s 1,088 ballots.

Bootsma said he doesn’t think it was a matter of vote splitting.

“Nancy just blew us away,” he said, ac-knowledging he has no idea why the vote went the way it did.

“I’m disappointed and surprised, but c’est la vie, it was a nice, clean campaign and I wish her well.”

Incumbent councillor debbie cannon came in third in the mayoral race with 950 votes, while former mayor Ian Wickett was fourth with 657.

cooper spent election night at home with family and a few friends, not knowing what to expect.

“I wanted to be confident, I have done lots of good stuff, but with four people running, anything can happen.”

She is understandably pleased with the result.

“It says to me that the people really ap-preciated what I’ve done – so I can go ahead with a big mandate to do what I’ve been do-ing. It’s quite exciting to have that happen.”

She complimented all the candidates who put their names forward.

“They put themselves out, they did it for the community. I have the utmost respect for Marty, for debbie, for Ian – you don’t do this for yourself.”

cooper said she didn’t run a big campaign because she was busy with her job as may-

or, but instead ran on her record. She said she did a lot of “management by walking around” during the term, speaking to busi-nesses in the industrial park, for example, and to people at events and on the street.

cooper said friends and others would tell her she’s a quiet person but she gets things done, so they took it upon themselves to campaign on her behalf.

Although there were rumblings of dis-content from a couple of members of the incumbent council regarding her leadership style, cooper said she thinks it may have been that they had a different view of the mayor’s job than she does.

She notes that the community charter describes the mayor as chief executive of-ficer, so she would sometimes do things on her own and then bring them back to coun-cil.

“It was different from the previous lead-ership,” she said.

cooper said she’s looking forward to working with the new council, “some sea-soned councillors and some new blood.”

She doesn’t see a problem having coun-cillors whose views may differ from hers.

“I think it takes time to get to know each other. We need that balance on council, to have different opinions and ideas.”

cooper has now served one term as coun-cillor and one as mayor, so, when this new four-year term is over, she will have been on council for 10 years. She’s not sure whether she’d take another run at the job.

“I don’t think I’ll be Hazel from Missis-sauga,” she laughs, referring to Mccallion’s 36 years as mayor of the Ontario town. “She retired at 93.”

On council, the three incumbents running were re-elected, Alan Harrison, Ken Jamie-son and chad eliason. Both Marg Kentel and denise Reimer did not seek re-election.

Back for a second term: Incumbent mayor, Nancy Cooper is all smiles after learning she was re-elected Saturday, Nov. 15.

Also elected to coun-cil were newcomer Tim Lavery, former coun-cillor Kevin Flynn and newcomer Louise Wal-lace Richmond.

Once again, Harrison topped the polls and said he’s thrilled to be re-elected.

“It is reassuring that incumbents who ran were successful, re-inforcing that overall people are satisfied with the decisions we made over the past three years.”

This will be Har-rison’s sixth term on council in Salmon Arm, yet he doesn’t take re-election for granted.

“A little nervousness keeps a person ener-gized and motivated,” he adds.

Harrison said he’s looking forward to working with what looks like a very strong group.

“I think the coun-cil is nicely balanced, with representation from a variety of back-

grounds.” Out of 13,393 eli-

gible voters in Salmon Arm, 5,082 or 38 per cent cast ballots.

In the 2011 elections, 5,108 ballots were cast out of the estimated 12,982 eligible voters, which equates to 39.4 per cent. The 2008 election drew 47.8 per cent of voters while the 2005 municipal elec-

tion saw a 38.6 per cent voter turnout.

Unofficial results put the B.C. voter par-ticipation rate at 33 per cent, although this did not include the tallies for regional districts and school board elec-tions.

In the four-way race for the two Salmon Arm school trustee slots, voters went for the tried and true. Longtime board mem-bers Bobbi Johnson and Michel Saab were handily returned to their posts over con-tenders Dale Townsend and Marcel Bedard.

Bushman loses out

The former Bushman of the Shuswap didn’t win over Williams Lake voters.

John Bjornstrom placed fourth out of four candidates for Williams Lake mayor.

The winner, Walt Cobb, tallied 1,334 votes, while Bjorn-strom received the nod from 91 voters.

Clark, a media relations officer based in Kelowna.

“He remains at large and police are asking for public assistance in locating him.”

Massie is described at a Caucasian male, five feet five inches tall and 150 pounds.

He has brown, thinning hair and hazel eyes.

Anyone with information about Mass-ie or his whereabouts, is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

Salmon Arm Observer Wednesday, November 19, 2014 www.saobserver.net A3

Salmon Arm Council has been assured that changes to the Trans-Canada Highway in the area of the Salmon River Bridge are in the preliminary stages. And, before the work moves full speed ahead, the public will be con-sulted.

Those assurances leave at least one busi-ness owner uncon-vinced the preliminary plan will change, how-ever.

Transportation min-istry representatives came to council’s Nov. 10 meeting to explain what their plans are for replacing the bridge and four-laning the highway at the west end of town.

Council requested the meeting to get an update and hear if pub-lic input will be con-sidered, particularly in light of concerns raised by DeMille’s Farm Market. A ministry plan DeMille’s was shown in the summer would leave the business at the end of a dead-end front-age road.

Ken Aura, senior project manager for the Southern Interior region, told council he expects an open house will be held early in the new year.

He explained there are three sections to the work: two kilometres of highway from 30th to 10th Street; about 1.5 kilometres from First Avenue to 30th Street which includes the bridge; and 2.8 ki-lometres from Indian Reserve #3 to First Av-enue.

He said plans for four-laning from 30th to 10th Street are fur-ther along than the other

two, and construction is likely to begin in 2016.

“We’re moving into detailed design,” Aura said of the 30th to 10th Street stretch. “First Av-enue to 30th, and IR#3 to First are early in the process. We’re still working on preliminary design.”

Regarding the 30th to 10th Street stretch, he said the community will see work in the coming months, such as surveying, drilling and environmental studies.

Council asked many questions on several is-sues, including business access and the fate of agricultural land.

Coun. Marg Kentel said she thought the Ruths (owners of Pedro Gonzalez) had spoken to the ministry about highway plans before their building was re-built following a fire. She was referring to a complaint that the plan shows the highway travelling about 10 feet from the door.

Aura said: “They may have spoken to the local approvals office. At that time, probably the four-laning project wasn’t active.”

Kentel wasn’t con-vinced.

“I find this a little bit surprising as it was built this year. We’ve been talking about this (four-laning) for some time.”

Regarding DeMille’s, Kentel noted the own-ers donated land to cre-ate a safe turning lane off the highway.

Aura assured: “Ac-commodating business-es is one of the priori-ties for us.”

Coun. Debbie Can-non asked if she is un-derstanding correctly that the ministry is open to the thoughts and con-cerns of stakeholders.

“It’s not etched in

stone…? So if they have an alternative thought process, that’s considered?”

Aura replied, yes.Coun. Alan Harrison

pointed out that council was happy to have the ministry at the meeting, noting that this and past councils have lobbied for improvements to the bridge. He emphasized that the main challenge on the south side of the highway appears to be accommodating DeMi-lle’s, ensuring the high-way changes do not kill their business.

Owner Brad DeMille remains skeptical the ministry will change its plan.

“It’s the same plan I saw 15 years ago – it hasn’t honestly changed from then. And it hasn’t changed from the plan I saw in the summer,” he said.

He fights back emo-tion as he contemplates the fate of his business.

“It’s taken all these years to build this place up and you see a one-way dead end road..”

Dale Ruth agrees that changes need to be made.

“I’ll be interested to

see if they hear what we’re saying and listen to us.”

He said he endorses and supports Brad DeMille’s ideas.

“He’s important. We’ll be on the frontage road together and I want his business healthy.”

Aura said the min-istry will be talking to farmers and the Agri-cultural Land Commis-sion.

“Ultimately as part of the wider highway footprint, there will be agricultural land im-pacted. We will have to make an application to the ALC to have it removed. Usually we get an agrologist to as-sist us. Typically there’s quite a bit of back and forth with the ALC.”

Coun. Denise Reimer asked about consulta-tions with First Nations.

Aura said the minis-try has had good discus-sions with them.

“They, not surpris-ingly, have many of the same concerns as anyone else,” he said, which include access, further development, community access re-garding trail develop-ment…”

Bridge plans a concern for city Trans-Canada Highway: Ministry plans to hold public open house.

Upgrade: The Ministry of Transportation and Highways has a preliminary design for upgrading the highway and the Salmon River Bridge, however, the plans have not pleased nearby busi-ness owners, including DeMille’s Farm Market. Brad DeMille says the current design would be detrimental to their operation.

It was smiles all around Thursday as staff and volunteers at the Salvation Army’s Lighthouse Shelter opened a new addition to the building – the food bank.

The food bank moved from its home of many years on Second Av-enue NE to its new lo-cation at 441 Third St. NE, now under the ban-ner of Lighthouse Com-munity Ministries.

Inside the former De-partment of National Defence Armoury is the existing 16-bed homeless shelter, with the food bank taking the place of the former thrift shop.

In cutting the ribbon, Capt. Sheldon Feener expressed gratitude for the community’s sup-port of the shelter and food bank.

“Last year the com-munity was wonderful to us….”

Lunch will continue to be served Wednes-days at the food bank’s

former location. At its new home,

breads, vegetables, fruit and some tinned and packaged foods are available every day, but people must make an appointment for Tues-day or Thursday to meet with staff and sign up for a hamper. The ham-pers are given out every six weeks.

Feener and his spouse Sharon point out that no one will be sent away empty-handed if they’re in need of food because the front table is always stocked.

Along with the food bank, the building now houses a coffee area with chairs and tables where people can come in and enjoy a coffee and relief from the cold.

The coffee area will open at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday.

Mondays and Fridays it will close at noon, Tuesdays and Thurs-days it will be open till 2 p.m. and Wednesdays it closes at 11 a.m.

The shelter portion of the building opens at 6:30 nightly and shuts

down in the morning at 7:30.

Asked about needs, Feener says the shelter can use ready-made suppers that can be re-heated either in a micro-wave or oven. Because the shelter doesn’t have a commercial oven or the fire suppressants required for cooking, it

can only warm up pre-made dinners. How-ever, it has acquired a large freezer, so has the capacity to store meals.

If you’d like to con-tribute, call the Light-house Community Min-istries at 250-832-9196 or drop by the shelter next to the indoor arena and Safeway.

Food bank added to shelter

Open: Louis Boda, Sharon Feener, Dave Byers, Capt. Sheldon Feener, Bud Brookes and Norma Schaffer share a laugh on Friday, Nov. 14 as they cut the ribbon of-ficially opening the Lighthouse Community Ministries building that now houses the food bank as well as the emergency shelter.

Burns light up Mt. IdaThere’s fire on the

mountains, but no rea-son for concern.

That’s the message from Kayla Pepper, fire information of-ficer with the Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ Wildfire Management Branch.

Large fires at the southern summit of Mt. Ida last Wednesday

night sparked many calls. But Pepper says there are well over 40 active industrial burn registrations in place and conditions last week were good for venting smoke.

Forestry companies are engaging in re-source burning, getting rid of debris that could fuel wildfires in fire season. Rick Proznick presents Gwen Kennedy with...

Aumie’s family in awe of giving

Toshi Sato and his family are over-whelmed with grati-tude.

Aumie Sato, who turns two on Nov. 25, had a teratoma tumour removed from her lower back on Oct. 10 in BC Children’s Hos-pital.

Because of its prox-imity to her intestine, just 90 per cent could be removed. The tu-mour had also metas-tasized to her chest, forming a yolk-sac tumour, so she began undergoing chemo therapy on Oct. 21.

The community has rallied around the fami-ly, raising funds to help support them with their many expenses.

Yuko, Aumie’s mother, stays in Van-couver with Aumie, while Toshi has been in Salmon Arm with her two older sisters, Anjou and Hannah. Some days Toshi has had to shut down their restaurant, Sushi Ko-tan. Things have eased up somewhat for Toshi, as Yuko’s parents – who the children love

– have come to Salmon Arm from Japan to help. But there are still many extra expenses.

“I feel the Salmon Arm community is such a beautiful people, a beautiful community. Our family wants to say a big thank you very much,” says Toshi emotionally.

The family was re-united in Vancouver at the hospital this past weekend. Toshi says Aumie is much better since an infection at the site of her surgery cleared up. She was on pain killers, but those have stopped. He points out that when Aumie is not doing well, neither is Yuko.

“Right now Aumie looks good and my wife is good, too,” he says.

Aumie is generally quite reserved at the hospital, but not when her two sisters came to visit.

“She was very happy when her sisters were there – she was play-ing, very different,” says Toshi, adding that her sisters were happy too.

Toshi also explains excitedly that he has

been told Hope Air might be flying Aumi home for two days so she can celebrate her second birthday in Salmon Arm.

She has been under-going her second round of chemo, which start-ed Nov. 11. She must have six rounds, each consisting of five days of chemo followed by 16 days of rest.

While Aumie is un-dergoing chemo, she stays at the hospital. In between, she and Yuko go to Ronald McDon-ald House.

If Aumie does well, Toshi says she could be done in 120 days. However, if she gets any kind of a virus, chemo may be delayed.

In the meantime, he emphasizes the fam-ily’s gratitude and wants the community to know what’s hap-pening.

“Many people give us money – we want them to know what the situation is.”

A fundraising din-ner and silent auction at Shuswap Chefs on Sunday night put on by owner Rob Sen-gotta and supported by Downtown Salmon

Arm raised a total of $17,139 for the Sato family.

“The food was a five-course, first-class meal. What a great event that demonstrates the heart in Salmon Arm,” said Sheri Hamilton, who attended the event and had high praise for Sengotta, his staff, who volunteered their time and the other organiz-ers.

Anyone wishing to donate to the family can do so at any branch of the Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union, to the Aumie Sato trust account. Donations can also be made at: www.youcar-ing.com and putting in Aumie’s name.

Fundraising: Toshi Sato expresses gratitude for community’s help while his daughter gets cancer treatment.

Hospital visit: Aumie Sato plays dolls with her sisters Anjou and Hannah during her treatment at BC Children’s Hospital.

City News and Public Notices

GUIDELINES FOR THE MOTORING PUBLICDuring winter months, public safety is one of the main goals at the City of Salmon Arm. To meet these goals the Engineering & Public Works Department follows policies and procedures established and reviewed over several years to provide snow and ice control.The motoring public can help meet these goals by following a few winter driving guidelines:• Always stay back of snow clearing equipment 15 meters even when

they are stopped at intersections;• Do not pass snow clearing vehicles, as often sand and salt will be

thrown and may damage your vehicle;• Remember that snow and ice control is not a substitute for

defensive driving in the winter.• The placing of snow on the traveled portion of the roadway from

your driveway or parking area is not permitted. This regulation helps to ensure that potentially dangerous situations are avoided.

• It is recommended that the parking of unattended vehicles on the roadway during winter months be avoided if possible. This enables efficient and economical snow clearing/removal for City crews, provides safe driving room on winter streets and prevents potential damage from snow removal operations occurring to your vehicle.

• In the event of a major snowfall, we ask that you park your vehicle off the roadway until it is plowed to enable efficient and economical snow plowing.

The Engineering & Public Works Department thanks you for your patience and understanding during the winter months.

Editorial

The holidays are fast approaching and while for many that means a trip to the mall or perusing boutiques, it is also the season of charity.

There are a myriad of wonderful causes and non-profit organizations in the Shuswap that do so much to enrich our lives and improve the situ-ation of many in our community.

But while we may realize there are needs in a general sense, there are often specific ways peo-ple can help various organizations that can become the perfect fit between giver and recipi-ent.

That’s where the Observer’s annual Guide To Giving comes in. Each year, the newspaper donates free space in our pages for local non-profit groups to write about their organization’s

needs and requests in hopes that people in the community will step up during the holidays.

We want to make both the non-profit groups aware of this opportunity (See the ad on page A20) and let the community know to watch for publication of the guide in the pages of the Observer on Wednesday, Dec. 3. It is a great way to set some priorities when considering charitable contributions.

The guide will also appear for free on our web-site at www.saobserver.net.

The deadline for submissions is Nov. 28, so groups will need to send us something quickly.

It is our hope to connect people and help meet the needs of the groups who give back to Salmon Arm’s quality of life.

for what it’S worth

Tracy Hughes

Phew. It’s over and now it’s another four years until the com-munity will be electing another mayor, city council and school board trustees. I must admit to being a bit of an election junkie. After all who doesn’t like a race? And unlike many things about politics which tend to operate in shades of grey, elections are con-crete, black-and-white interpretations of the will of the voters.

It was disappointing once again to see turnout so low. This year’s elections only drew 38 per cent of people to the

polls compared with 39 per cent in the 2011 elections. There were 5,082 ballots cast for the city elections out of a possible 13,393.

Although Salmon Arm’s numbers hover around the provincial average, it is still disappointing to me that we could not do better.

While I’m a notoriously poor prophet when it comes to elec-tion results, this year there were some safe bets. It was no sur-prise to anyone that Alan Harrison topped the polls for council. The perennially popular politician and principal (try saying that four times in a row) secured more votes than anyone, including the mayor. It’s hard not to like his reasonable, well-thought-out positions, combined with his tendency to be pretty conservative with the taxpayer’s dollars. It’s a formula that has paid dividends for years. The other two incumbents, Chad Eliason and Ken Ja-mieson, also handily won their posts back. Incumbents have an advantage in all elections, but it was clear the voters appreciated their solid work thus far.

While I was not personally surprised by Nancy Cooper’s win, as I thought Debbie Cannon and Marty Bootsma would split the vote, the margin of her victory was significant.

Cooper has had her critics. She’s been called namby-pamby and inefficient. But say what you want about her – Nancy Cooper shows up. She meets people, she cuts ribbons, she shakes hands and constantly expresses appreciation for the efforts of others. She appears approachable and willing to listen.

It’s like governance by group hug. Mayor Cooper may be less controversial than Salmon Arm

mayors of yore, but this inclusive style clearly resonated with Salmon Arm voters.

During the fast and furious posting of election numbers, the three remaining council spaces were difficult to predict. Ulti-mately, the community voted to add a diversity of voices. Louise Wallace Richmond, the lone female councillor, is arguably the most left-leaning, the sole member to live in Canoe and a cham-pion of arts and culture. Kevin Flynn is known for his outspo-ken, brash style (including a few fist pumps at the community centre when it became clear he would win a slot) and a strong fiscal management position. Newly retired teacher Tim Lavery clearly won votes with his emphasis on making thoughtful, well researched decisions. Should be interesting times at the table.

I want to take the opportunity to congratulate those who also putt their names forward but were unsuccessful. Choice is im-portant and it is not an easy task to put yourself out in front of the community and face the tally. You all deserve our appreciation.


View PointThe Observer asked: Should fighting be banned in junior hockey?

Jo Salter “No, because it is a part of higher level of the sport. They have to learn how to protect themselves.”

Carrie Bradley “Yes. I think they should be more focused on developing their skills and sportsmanship.”

Bryan Rempel “Yes. There is no need to fight at that level of hockey.”

Roger Moore “Yes it should be. If fighting isn’t banned it should be more heavily enforced.”

Plans need to address derailment concernsThis is not an original concern, but I share

it because I believe it to have some merit. Considering the local elections were recent-ly underway in our city, it surprised me to hear that much discussion was made about consideration for an underpass to provide access to the lakeside area, but no mention has been made about what candidates felt should be done about preparation for acci-dents involving trains. I remember hearing

a senior captain of the Surrey Fire Depart-ment saying that the most dreaded of fire calls would be one involving the rail yards, largely because no one really knew what was contained in the tank cars found there.

Setting aside the debate on the underpass, just imagine what a derailment in the centre of our town would mean. I have wondered about this while walking along the lakeside trail as a train passes, just above. Say good-

bye, I suppose. Just imagine what a derailment of a train

carrying unidentified liquid products would mean for our city.

Oh wait, we do not have to imagine what that would mean, we already know. It has already occurred. Lac-Mégantic 01:15 EDT, on July 6, 2013.

Over the past years I have been observing a decline in attendance at Remembrance Day services, as well as a focus by many people, young an old, on rights and liberties, without regard for everything that it took to get them, and what must be done to keep them.

Recent events in our country have im-

proved awareness in our country, but more must be done...

How many of us take our rights for grant-ed?

Our right to complain about anything and any one. Our right to publish our opinions without censorship.

Our right to disagree with our government. Our right to move freely across this gigantic country, and to take up residence anywhere within it that we choose.

Gregg Pettitt

I was interested to see that the taxpay-ers of Salmon Arm are picking up the bill to keep the Roots and Blues Festival go-ing next year.

City council said that the festival is good for Salmon Arm; or should they have said businesses in Salmon Arm. It certainly brings money, traffic, noise and some good music to town for a week each summer, but where’s the lasting benefit to most of the people who live here? When was the last $95,000 town investment in supporting any permanent lo-cal arts?

The Salmon Arm Folk Mu-sic Society has a long and proud history in this town, start-ing small and creating something extraor-dinary. In 2008 a group of local business interests on their board of directors gained control of the festival by very callously ousting the artistic director Linda Tanaka, who was there from the beginning. They seem to have been successful in turning what was a profitable enterprise into an-other draw on the taxpayer.

Should taxpayer dollars be given to the same group that got the Roots & Blues Festival into this position, or is it time for a change of guard?

Jeff Person

Open letter to the people working for BC Hydro:

I guess it’s my turn to feel the pressure. I learned yesterday of several people who had had their power disconnected due to their de-cision not to pay their legacy fees. Like the woman who called me last month, almost in tears, after receiving an automated “courtesy call” saying she would be disconnected if she didn’t pay up in full within 24 hours, I know that my husband and I can’t do without elec-tricity.

It was a sad day when the BC Utilities Commission agreed to your exorbitant fee of

almost $35 per month to read our very intel-ligent (but not “Smart”) meter every second month. It is interesting that Quebec residents who’ve opted to keep a safe meter (analogue or digital) on their homes pay only about $5 monthly for this same service.

Many people have buckled under the fi-nancial pressure of these fees and succumbed to having the SmartMeter installed, despite the myriad of health issues studied by inde-pendent scientists and shown to be directly related to microwave radio frequencies; the fire hazard possibilities; and, of course, pri-vacy and security issues.

I am not one of these people, but I am pay-ing 8.5 per cent of my net pension payment each month for this legacy fee. The woman I referred to earlier did not know where she would get the money to pay her overdue fee. She told me it would have to come from her grocery and household budget. But I guess those SmartMeters need to be paid for.

I know that there are real flesh and blood people who may read this letter at the cor-porate office: This is not the kind of legacy I wish to leave to the people I serve; do you?

Shelley Corbin

A very kind-hearted stranger lurks. On Oct. 31, I found myself in a very difficult situ-ation at the Mt. Ida Medical Clinic and could not afford my fee of $35. A total stranger, I

found to be Bob, stepped forward and paid my fee. I was so shocked, yet thankful. His response was Merry Christmas.

I thank you, Bob, so very much, and Mer-

ry Christmas to you and all the best to you and yours in 2015.

Janice Muir

When was the last $95,000 town

investment in supporting any permanent local

arts?

I am writing in support of Robin Hick-man’s letter in the Nov. 5 edition of the Ob-server.

In June 2014 the Harper government announced $305 million in funding for private sector incentives to provide high-

speed Internet to areas of the country that did not already have access to high-speed Internet services. It seems strange to me that the Salmon Arm Economic Develop-ment Society and Telus chose to invest that money into fibre optics for areas of town

that already had cable and DSL access, while many of us in the SW quarter, that have neither cable or DSL, are overlooked once again.

1924 Men’s � eece-lined under-wear was selling for $1.95 per suit at Sam McGuire’s Quality Store.

1934 It was reported the provincial government proposed to change the schedule of the lake steamer White-smith. There would be one instead of two round-trips per week. Also the route was to be shortened to include calls to Sicamous, Seymour Arm, Anstey Arm, Anglemont and Eagle Bay only. Sorrento, Magna Bay, Ca-noe and Salmon Arm were to be left off the schedule and the reporter wanted to know what the residents of these communities thought about this.

1944 Sole survivor of a crew of seven aboard a British bomber which crashed over enemy occupied Europe, W/O Frank Magee, arrived home on a 30-days leave. W/O Magee was hidden by the under-ground and spirited from place to place until he was freed by the Allied advance.Wrist watches were awarded by the Kins-men Club to boys and girls who sold and collected the greatest number of Milk-for-Britain tickets. Lorna Maki and Beulah Dodd were � rst and second among the girls, and Donald Askew and Denis Marshall topped the boys.H.F. Pardey past secretary of Salmon Arm General Hospital, purchased the building formerly occupied by the Chinese laundry, and planned to open a modern laundry.

LIFE & TIMES

Samantha Boutet did not plan on becoming something of an expert on electromagnetic ra-diation.

In fact, when her daughter became ill in 2009, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) was the last thing she consid-ered.

Her daughter, Ame-lia, nine at the time, be-gan getting headaches and migraines every day. The family, which was living in the Lower Mainland at the time, had everything they could think of checked out – her eyes, her neck – but the doctor couldn’t � gure out what was wrong.

They realized the only time the headache van-ished was for three or four days when the fam-ily went camping.

“She continued to get worse and worse and worse at school,” says Boutet, explaining that along with the head-aches, her daughter be-gan experiencing heart palpitations, dizziness and an inability to con-centrate.

Boutet, a naturopath, began getting calls from the school, and teachers suggested perhaps it was anxiety. She was skepti-cal because her daughter hadn’t been showing any signs of anxiety at home.

They eventually went to BC Children’s Hos-pital in Vancouver, but a pediatrician there couldn’t explain the mi-

graines. Then, by chance,

Boutet was at a Hallow-een party where some parents were talking about a documentary on Wi-Fi in schools and how the electromagnet-ic radiation was making some children sick.

Boutet watched the program and saw how children in Ontario and on Vancouver Island were being affected – and their symptoms matched her daughter’s.

Boutet went to the classroom where her daughter had spent the previous year and saw there was a Wi-Fi router on the wall, about 20 feet away from where she had been sitting.

Routers were also on the walls of the hallways, where her daughter’s diz-ziness was worse. Boutet said the signal in the school had to be stronger than

usual because there was so much cement to navi-gate.

A trip to the school board generated no re-sult, so Boutet eventu-ally decided to take both her daughters out of school.

“After two weeks, there was quite a good improvement… All symptoms decreased dramatically once we took her out of school.”

She noted that the process for the school board was to register the complaint with their health and safety of� cer, who checks with Health Canada. Health Canada says Wi-Fi is safe, so the safety of� cer reports

that to the

school board. Boutet notes that the

International Agency for Research on Cancer has classi� ed radio fre-quency electromagnetic � elds as Group 2B, ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans.’

She likens the issue to that of tobacco in earlier days.

There were no pre-cautionary warnings on cigarette smoking until court cases forced the issue, she says. Mean-while, regulatory bod-ies had been relying on research on cigarettes funded by the tobacco industry.

Similarly, she says, the World Health Or-ganization’s research comes from Motorola.

Boutet has faced her share of skeptics, and she urges them to do independent research. “I ask them to think

critically about the in-

dustry itself, think about tobacco, and I also ask them to think about their compassion.”

Boutet notes people have strong emotional reaction to the sugges-tion that the prolifera-tion of electromagnetic radiation might not be good for them. She sus-pects that’s because the addiction to technology is so widespread and people don’t like the idea of having to change their lifestyles. She says change would be health-ier overall, particularly when there’s a connec-tion between EMR and colony collapse in bees.

“The right to have a clean environment is be-ing taken away from us and we can’t really real-ize it.”

Boutet took her con-victions to a recent all-candidates meeting on microwave radiation, where she was asked to speak of her experi-ences.

Her family moved away from the Lower Mainland to escape all the pollution from cell phone towers and Wi-Fi that spills nearly every-where because of the density there. Her hus-band had to stay, though, in order to make a living.

After several moves, Boutet’s family is liv-ing in the Shuswap. She was pleasantly surprised to � nd people here who take the issue seriously and whose homes are accessible and welcom-ing.

“This is a better place for us as we have people who understand.”

Family takes refuge from Wi-Fi

Hospital campaign gets big kick-off

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation kicked off the 2014-15 campaign with a couple of big boosts and an avid cheerleader.

This year’s goal is $250,000 and is already at $75,000 thanks to a $10,000 donation presented by Norm Brown on behalf of the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm at the kick-off last Thursday and a $20,000 donation from the Salmon Arm Lions Club presented by John Lund the next day.

Fiona Harris, the foundation’s director of development, was MC and following speeches by president Doug Murray and Shuswap Lake General Hospital administrator Pe-ter Dutoit, Laverne Dubois shared her powerful story about surviving a stroke without after-effects, thanks to the community that raised $1.5 mil-lion in one year to purchase a CT scanner.

Just over a year ago, the Sicamous resident suffered a stroke.

Her husband realized what was happening and called for an ambu-lance that transported her to Salmon Arm.

A CT scan revealed Dubois was a candidate for thrombolytic medica-tion.

Three days later, the active 71-year-old returned home with no physical or intellectual deficits.

She required no special treatment or rehab and, other than feeling a

bit tired, she had no other symptoms. Today Dubois is feeling very lucky,

not just to be alive, but healthy too.“If it wouldn’t have been for the

CT scanner,” she says, noting the drugs had only become available a mere five months before her stroke. “If I can help in any way, I will. I owe them that much, a lot more than that. The hospital has been super good for me.”

The Shuswap Hospital Founda-tion’s purpose is to raise funds for high priority patient care equipment – equipment whose operational costs Interior Health is willing to fund.

The CT scanner was installed in the hospital in 2009 with a $205,000 upgrade added in August.

The foundation is currently work-ing to raise the final $72,000 to com-plete the purchase.

Other items on the priority list in-clude: two $17,810 Stryker stretch-ers, an $18,400 vein finder, a $60,000 blood analyzer, a $29,900 bariatric bed, among others.

A recent $10,000 donation cov-ered the cost of a Medi-Therm sys-tem, a patient warming and cooling system that will enable medical staff to ensure optimal patient tempera-ture management during issues such as hypothermia (the body loses too much heat) or hyperthermia (the body is too warm).

The Shuswap Hospital Foundation kiosk at the Mall at Piccadilly will now be open until Christmas for do-nations.

Bjorgan an everyday champion

It’s an impressive title – Marla Bjorgan, everyday champion.

Bjorgan, a Salmon Arm public health nurse, earned the acco-lade from the BC Pa-tient Safety and Quality Council, as part of their BC Quality Awards program which cel-ebrates extraordinary work in the health sys-tem.

After being nominat-ed, Bjorgan earned the title by garnering the most number of online votes.

Described as cre-ative, meticulous, car-ing, organized and in-spiring, when Bjorgan took over the harm reduction portfolio, there were only basic resources available for both clients and nurses.

Bjorgan created a

list of resources and programs, also adding a photo menu of harm reduction options for clients with lower lit-eracy skills. She also developed a resource binder for staff and community providers in the North Okanagan.

In the quality awards presentation, it notes, “Marla has been a mas-ter at engaging her local community to increase access to safer injec-tion, inhalation and sex supplies – and in doing

so she has shown how using a community de-velopment process has the ability to change the health outcomes of a population at risk.”

From supporting families with newborn babies to her work in the immunization pro-gram, Bjorgan was also recognized for striving to provide the best care possible.

“Marla is also known in her community as the nurse with the re-mote-controlled bubble machine that she uses to soothe the many tod-dlers and children who come to her for immu-nizations,” states the presentation.

Winners are awarded a $2,500 sponsorship to help support or dis-seminate learning from their projects and will be presented with a plaque in a ceremony on Feb. 18, 2015.

Fair photo proves a winnerObserver photographer, Evan Buhler, won second place in the feature picture category of the News Photographers Association of Canada’s western photo of the month contest for September for this image of the Kamikaze ride at the Salmon Arm Fall Fair. More than 50 entries from photojournalists around Western Canada were submitted. “Second place has nice use of long exposure, balanced well with the foreground,” said the judges.


Crime Stoppers coupons legitThey’re real and

they’re legit.North Okanagan

Shuswap Crime Stop-pers Society has again teamed up with Four Elements Consulting Inc. to promote a cou-pon booklet aimed at raising funds for the Crime Stoppers’ orga-nization.

“The funds raised by this campaign go a long

way to keep our pro-gram running through-out the year,” said so-ciety co-ordinator Gord Molendyk.

The door-to-door sales people will have identification and will be wearing a yellow jacket with a Crime Stoppers logo on one side and their company logo on the other side.

The marketers will

be canvassing the entire North Okanagan Shus-wap Crime Stoppers coverage region, from Vernon to Sicamous.

The coupon booklet includes almost $700 in savings for such organi-zations as the Salmon Arm Silverbacks hock-ey club, Eagle River Golf Course and white water rafting in Clear-water.

Thyroid Support

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In mostcases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner allnight. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested andrefreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked firstnight! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I couldnot use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable.Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air.During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell#23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson,

MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wifesays there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or rightwith no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problemsto try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

A request for support by Sunnybrae residents to turn 19.5 hectares of waterfront industrial land into a conservation park will be addressed by a new board.

In an Oct. 21 email to Columbia Shuswap Re-gional District chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton and Area C director Paul Demenok, Ra-chel and Ian Sudbury asked the regional district to consider establishing the park at an area adjacent to Herald Provincial Park comprised of about six acres of lightly cleared industrial waterfront and 14 acres of untouched semi-waterfront forest, and a provincially leased 25.53-acre aquatic log boom.

The couple noted the area has long been used as a log boom for tem-porary storage prior to land and lake transpor-tation of timber and that the parcel has been val-ued at $2.9 million.

The couple describe the property as a “heav-ily trafficked wild-life corridor,” with a groundwater aquifer that provides a water source for a variety of wildlife species.

“In an area where the vast majority of sur-rounding areas have been developed for human use, the maintenance of this corridor may be critical for species surviv-al, distribution among various habitat areas and ultimately, ecosystem viability and resilience,” they write.

Among the benefits listed in their letter is that the park would make the lake more accessible to more people and provide an excellent eco-tourism opportunity.

The Sudburys also express concern that CSRD planning staff have indicated to them several large developers have expressed interest in purchasing and developing the property as high density resi-dential.

Directors at the Nov. 13 meeting agreed unani-mously to refer the letter to CSRD staff to be brought back to the board at a later date.

Hand off: Chargers quarterback Jayden Mourato hands the ball off to running back Bladen Stephens during the Southern Interior Football League championship game last Sunday at Little Mountain Field.

Chargers dominate title gameThe Salmon Arm bantam Chargers

football team played the Kelowna Lions in the Southern Interior Football League championship game last Sunday at Little Mountain Field.

During the regular season, the two teams each won a game against each other.

It was fitting that the final game of the season would be played between the league’s two best teams in one last rub-ber match.

The Charger’s defence was dominant with Matthew Nesdoly and Noah Dies leading the charge from their defensive end positions.

Numerous turnovers forced by the Chargers seriously hampered the Lion’s ability to mount any sustained attack.

Offensively, quarterback Jayden Mou-rato scored two majors along the ground.

Hayden Henning, Tyler Chartier and Bladen Stephens also scored touch-downs, rounding out the offensive push.

The game turned out to be very one- sided, with the Chargers pulling off a 45-7 victory.

The Chargers now move on to the pro-vincial championship game, which will be held at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m.

The peewee Colts finished off a great season last Sunday in Kelowna.

With only 15 players on the roster, the

Bantam ’Tips victorious in tournament

The Salmon Arm Scotiabank bantam tier two Silvertips invited nine talented teams from around the province to their 2014 tournament at the Shaw Centre last weekend.

The ’Tips kicked off their tournament against Nelson.

Salmon Arm started the second period with a 1-0 lead, and the period finished 4-2 in favour of the Silvertips.

The third period saw the momentum turn Nelson’s way, and Salmon Arm was unable to recover, losing 5-4 in their tournament opener.

The ’Tips started Saturday off with a bang, disposing of Prince George 9-2.

In the second game on Saturday, the ’Tips continued to score at will, putting eight past Maple Ridge in the 8-2 win.

Salmon Arm faced off against Kamloops in the semifinal matchup on Sunday.

There was nothing to separate the teams as they finished regulation time knotted up at one.

Overtime did not solve anything so the game headed to a shootout, where the ’Tips were the eventual winners, booking a spot in the finals against Trail.

Entering the game, Trail was the only team that Salmon Arm had yet to beat this season.

Both teams started the game tentatively, struggling to find scoring chances.

The first goal of the game finally arrived courtesy of Salmon Arm at 12:17 of the second period, but was quickly cancelled out by Trail.

The game was tied up at one heading in to the final period of the tournament.

The Silvertips took the lead midway through the third, and didn’t look back as they would go on to score one more goal, winning 3-1.

Salmon Arm scored 26 goals and only al-lowed 11 in the tournament’s five games.

The Silverbacks picked up three im-portant points during their three-game home stand, which was billed as Parents Weekend.

On Friday night, the ’Backs hosted the Is-land Division’s bottom dwellers, Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Salmon Arm’s Josh Blanchard scored on a short-handed penalty shot, which opened up a flurry of scoring mid-way through the first frame.

Only 13 seconds later, Logan Mick doubled the lead for the Silverbacks, and Colton Thibault add-ed another only 67 seconds after Mick’s marker.

The Capitals fought back in the second pe-riod when Cowichan’s leading goal scorer Kyle Horsman and Adam Osczevski cut Salmon Arm’s lead to just one in the second period.

Eight minutes into the third period Blanchard scored his second of the game, while on the man ad-vantage.

“It was good to fi-nally put a couple in,

and also to get a win too,” said the Silver-backs’ Blanchard.

Both teams went 25 per cent on the power play.

Carson Bolduc put the game out of reach for Cowichan when he scored his ninth goal of the season, finding the empty net.

“I thought we had a really good start, obviously we got out to that three-to- nothing lead, then we decided to have a nap in the second,” said ‘Backs assistant coach Misko Antisin.

“In the third we came back strong and absolutely dominated.”

Before Friday’s game, the Silverbacks acquired Josh Lafram-boise from the Pentic-ton Vees in exchange for BCHL-CHL list rights to Connor Chart-ier.

“With us having four forwards out with inju-ries right now we need-ed to add a skilled for-ward. Josh already has a NCAA commitment with the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs for two years out and this helps us for this year and next,” said Silverbacks gener-al manager Troy Mick.

“My job now is to find out what my role is with the Silverbacks, and hopefully keep do-ing what I’ve been do-ing so far this year,” said Laframboise.

The Regina native, Laframboise made his debut for the goril-las on Saturday night against the visiting In-terior Division rivals, Merritt Centennials.

“We didn’t get enough accomplished in the offensive zone to take over the game,” said Silverbacks head coach Brandon West.

The ’Backs started

the second period up by a goal, but gave up four goals in the frame.

“We definitely came out in the second pe-riod flat, and that was the story of the game,” West said.

Shane Danyluk would add a consola-tion goal with two min-utes remaining in the game, the final score was 4-3 for Merritt.

Sunday’s matinee saw the Coquitlam Ex-press pay a visit to the Shaw Centre.

Karl El-Mir, Carson Bolduc and Phil Mid-dleton each scored in

Sunday’s 3-3 draw.Zach Dyment was in

goal earning his sixth start of the season.

The Silverbacks start a three-game road swing this Friday in Powell River, then head to Cowichan Val-ley and Chilliwack on Saturday and Sunday.

Powell River has two players in the BCHL’s top five scoring – Jarid Lukosevicius and Kurt Keats.

Salmon Arm’s next home game is Friday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m., when they play host to Vernon.

Sockeyes at city hallOn Monday, Nov. 10, 19 Salmon Arm Sockeye swimmers were recognized for their achieve-ments in the pool at the city council meeting. Coun. Alan Harrison led the certificate presen-tation, and noted that recognizing people who have excelled in sports – and other disciplines – is one of council’s favourite things to do. Julianne Moore and Tricia Fair each broke provincial records this past year.

Winter Games boundAlyssa Skaalid, a member of the Salmon Arm Ice Breakers who now trains in Kelowna, has qualified for the BC Speed Skating Team and will be attending the Canada Winter Games. Skaalid will be racing in both individual and relay short track speed skating races during the games, which will be held in Prince George from Feb. 12-22.

Ice Breakers need volunteersThe Salmon Arm Ice Breakers Speed Skat-ing Club is hosting a level one introduction to speed skating course for officials. Helpers are needed for the club’s Feb. 1 Ice Jam races in Salmon Arm, and volunteers act-ing in an official capacity will need to be certi-fied by taking this 1.5-hour course.

“ little team that could” managed to beat the odds and finished second overall in the Southern Interior Foot-ball League.

The Colts, finished the regular season with a record of 5-1.

They dominated play through the first two rounds of playoffs but came up short against the Kelowna Lions in the championship game.

The undefeated Li-ons came out strong and overpowered the Colts to take an early

lead in the first half. Despite several play-

ers being injured the Colts managed a come-back in the second half.

With time running out the Colts were un-able to catch the Lions.

With heads held high, the Colts shook hands and congratu-

lated their opponents, wishing them luck in the provincial finals next Sunday in Kam-loops.

“Football is the ul-timate team sport. Sometimes in life, you get the chance to do something great with a special group of people

– and this was one of those times,” said Colts head coach Andrew Van Dokkumburg.

“The kids worked their tails off this year and really set them-selves apart as a special group of people. We are very proud of how they played.”

The Selkirks swim team took home medals in 18 out of 22 events in Vernon on Nov. 7-9.

Chantel Jeffrey, 13, who is in great early season form, led the way for the Selkirks.

Jeffery won all four of her events, 800 me-tre freestyle, 50-m but-terfly stroke, 100-m backstroke and 100-m freestyle, and just missed qualifying for the 15-and-under West-

ern Canadian Champi-onships in the 800-m freestyle.

Jacob Rambo, 12, was the most improved swimmer, who took home three gold med-als, and a silver and bronze medal.

Rambo improved his 200-m backstroke by 13 seconds, and had four personal best times.

Molly Fogart, cel-ebrated her 13th birth-

day with seven medals, including one gold, four silver and two bronze, as she contin-ues her break-out sea-son.

In his first meet of the season, Thomas Flahr, 18, won the 50-m freestyle with the fastest time of the entire meet, while also picking up a silver and bronze medal.

Emma Pyle contin-ued her strong come-

back season with three top 12 finishes in the highly competi-tive 15-and-over girls events.

Bree Cooper, swim-ming for West Kelow-na, picked up three golds and a bronze.

The team travels to Kelowna this weekend before heading to Ka-mloops for a large meet with several Alberta and coastal teams in mid-December.

Selkirks swim to podium

Salmon Arm Rec-reation is offering a Learn to Play initiative called Making Move-ment Matter – a vari-ety of children’s pro-grams made possible by RBC grants to de-velop physical literacy in children.

Physical literacy is termed the gateway to physical activity.

The first event, on Friday, Nov. 28, will be a free Try – It Day at the recreation centre for kids from two to 14 to try a variety of sports and movement skills.

There will be tennis, basketball shooting,

baseball batting and soccer shooting, along with movement test-ing in sprints, vertical jump and flexibility. The event is divided into two age groups, 1 to 3 p.m. for pre-schoolers and home-schooled children, and 3 to 5 p.m. for school-aged children.

Nov. 28 is also Jer-sey Day so wear your sport jersey to show pride in your favourite team.

Starting in January, there will be Get Ac-tive programs for six to nine year olds and Tot Sports for three to five year olds.

These two programs will be focusing on the fundamental move-ments required for children to become ac-tive for life.

Running, jumping, throwing, batting and catching are the key fundamental move-ments.

Basic sport skills will be introduced but the main focus is mas-tering the fundamental movements.

These programs will be offered at reduced rates due to the sup-port through the RBC Learn to Play Project.

More information on these programs will be

in the Winter 2015 Fun Guide due to come out on Friday, Nov. 28.

The initiative also wants to support com-munity leaders who work with young chil-dren in a physically ac-tive setting.

Whether you are a sport coach, day care leader or school teacher, a Fundamental Movement Workshop is being offered for free at the rec centre on Sunday, Jan. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Register early as space is limited.

For more informa-tion, call Donna at 250-832-4044.

Ebola may seem like a faraway health problem.

But one local doctor, who was worked in Africa with Médecins San Frontières (MSF) on several occasions, is asking residents to learn about the deadly virus and donate funds to the organization that is currently caring for victims of the disease in Liberia.

A fundraising showing of Ebola War,a documentary by David Belluz, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30 at the Salmar Classic Theatre.

The 45-minute � lm documents how doc-tors and nurses in Uganda courageously treated Ebola victims in the outbreak of 2000.

“It focuses on rural doctors and how they faced it and the stigma of the disease, and how they to worked in the Ebola ward knowing they were under-resourced and didn’t have the protection they needed,” says Currie, who notes a Canadian � lmmak-er who was working in Uganda on another project at the time elected to document the local response.

Babu Stanley, one of the nurses in the � lm, got the disease and survived it. He now works for MSF in Liberia and will take part in a question-and-answer period via Skype, following the � lm.

Former MSF health professionals and aid workers will also take part in the session and high school students will demonstrate pro-tective gear.

Currie, who is organizing the Nov. 30 event, believes there is still a window of opportunity in which to shut the outbreak down.

“It’s not the � rst outbreak of Ebola, but it’s the worst by a magnitude of about 10,” he says, pointing out outbreaks have been successfully stopped before.

“For me, the compelling reason is the

number of deaths happening in Africa, but you can also look at this on a very sel� sh basis. If we can stop this at its source, we can keep it from crossing our borders.”

Catching the virus is dif� cult for someone who is not in direct contact with someone who has the disease.

It doesn’t travel by air but is transferred through body � uids – vomit, feces or blood. On an object like a door handle, the virus would be live for about four hours, says Currie, but up to four days after death on a body.

He says the current outbreak is revealing a 70 per cent mortality rate.

“What’s really important is this is more than a medical disease; yes, we have 14,000 people with the disease, but this is a humani-tarian catastrophe in terms of the impact on the economy and the health-care system and access to food,” says Currie. “We have to remember that many people in these areas live on subsistence wages; they earn a small daily wage and use it to buy food they eat that day.”

Currie says the concept of a 21-day quar-antine to make sure an individual has not contracted the disease doesn’t work when they have no food and no money.

“They can’t work or buy food and this is where we need to expand our focus,” he

says. “Medical practice has to meet the de-mands of survival. We need to provide sup-port to an entire community that is devas-tated by the outbreak.”

Currie points out that prior to the out-break, Liberia had about 50 or 60 doctors working in the entire country, which is about the number of physicians practising in Salmon Arm.

He says more than 500 health-care work-ers in the three West African countries where the outbreak is occurring have con-tracted the disease.

“When you think of the long-term impacts after the outbreak is � nished, it’s gutted the health-care system,” says Currie. “MSF is the largest organization (in Liberia) with more than 3,000 people working on Ebola

projects, with a total of more than 600 in-patient isolation beds.”

MSF is an international, independent, medical humanitarian relief organization that provides emergency care to people af-fected by disaster, con� ict, epidemics and those excluded from healthcare.

MSF works independently of political, religious or military agendas, delivering medical assistance based on human need.

Admission to the Salmon Arm fundrais-ing event is by donation by cash or cheque, with tax receipts available for donations of more than $10.

There will also be a bake sale.People who are unable to attend the fun-

draiser but still wish to donate, may do so online at www.msf.ca/en/donate-now.

The Shuswap Photo Arts Club will have a special guest in award-winning, B.C. nature photographer Norm Dougan.

Dougan will present some of his outstand-ing nature and wildlife photographs from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24 at the Seniors’ Fifth Av-enue Activity Centre.

Dougan is passionate about nature and loves the outdoors.

Just over nine years ago he purchased his first digital camera. Now retired, he uses much of his time to pur-sue this passion.

Patience and a good understanding of pho-tographic principles has allowed him to capture

photos of many natu-ral events and animals in settings most of us never see.

His wife, Carrie, is his constant companion

and not only encour-ages his pursuits, but is frequently the catalyst that makes many of these photos happen.

While a member of

the Kamloops Photo Arts Club, Norm re-ceived a prestigious ‘Honourable Mention’ in the ‘Great Backyard Bird Count 2012 for his image of a common redpoll and a Second Place Honours in the composition category.

This North Ameri-can competition is sponsored by the Cor-nell Lab of Ornithol-ogy, Audubon and Bird Studies of Canada. There were 6,000 en-tries.

In 2013 he received another international award, placing second in the Nature category in the 4-Nations Com-petition.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Moving from fear to big dreamsThe Shuswap Branch

of the Canadian Society of Questers presents a special online presenta-tion – “Bust Free From Fear and Manifest Your Big Dreams” with Tammra Broughton at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19 at the Down-town Activity Centre.

Broughton is the founder of Living Proof Life and has 20 years of experience working in the holistic health field.

After experiencing debilitating anxiety that often left her afraid to leave the house, she

decided to seek out the bigger answers to life. She was able to break through this anxiety and manifest the life of her dreams.

Her talks are engag-ing, funny, informative and provide tips and tools that people can use immediately.

“If you’re encoun-tering blocks in your path to consciousness, and if manifesting the dream seems rather overwhelming, then this presentation is for you, the dreamer, the visionary, the risk taker

or the change maker,” says Hugh Tyhson.

“If you have a deeper sense of knowing that your purpose is to serve others and the world in a bigger way but just haven’t found the way to get from here to there, Broughton be-lieves it’s not as much of an outwardly ‘to-do’ kind of change as much as it is an inward awareness that makes real and lasting shifts – and it doesn’t have to be a painful transition.”

This presentation will be for those want-

ing to create more fun, flexibility and even cre-ativity in life and play bigger.

The audience will leave this talk knowing exactly why the world needs them to show up and why this has never been so important than right now.

To attend the event online, use the link at http://j.mp/Quester-sWedNov19th, or join the questers in the li-brary of the Downtown Activity Centre, at 451 Shuswap St. SW. Doors open at 6:30.

Arts & Culture board member Kari Wilkin-son is asking residents to visit the Aviva Com-munity Fund website and vote daily until Nov. 24 to get the Shus-wap Centre for the Per-forming Arts into the semi� nal round.

“We are heavily rout-ing through our Face-book page to raise awareness and get votes so we can get into a new round of voting Dec. 1 to Dec. 10,” says Wilkinson, noting the top-40 ideas receive $5,000.

The $5,000 would be put towards the soci-ety’s business and oper-ating plans, something society members are currently researching.

“And we need an economic-impact study

completed because, for this to be successful and to get city council approval, we have to have a well-researched, sustainable business and operating plan,” Wilkinson says, ex-plaining Lana Fitt from the Salmon Arm Eco-nomic Development Society is guiding soci-ety members.

Wilkinson says the society is hoping to at-tract new members and further diversify the skills at the board table.

“We’re looking for community partners in the sense we may need their expertise in run-ning a large non-pro� t business,” she adds. “We may need their expertise in governance and how we best move this forward because this has to be built on a best-practices model.”

Part of the business

plan is to de� ne po-tential tenants and day users, another aspect board members are in-vestigating.

“We are researching other performing art centres in western Can-ada to � nd out what’s working for them and what’s not working, and how we can arrive at what will work best in the Shuswap and be sustainable,” she adds.

If the performing arts centre gets enough votes to make it to the � nals, the payoff could be as much as $50,000 to $100,000 – money that would complete business and operating plans and enable the creation of site plans.

To vote, visit the Shuswap Society for Arts & Culture’s Face-book page, which has a direct link to their idea on the Aviva website.

Get ready to tap your toes and laugh as the Louisiana Hayride rolls into town Nov. 20, bringing the music of Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Roy Orbison and Tammy Wynette back to life.

Established in 1948, the Louisiana Hayride was a musical variety show performed at the Shreveport, Louisiana Municipal Auditorium and broadcast live over KWKH Radio.

It was best known for giving unknown artists

a chance to perform; artists such as Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Faron Young and even Elvis Presley.

“That show comes back to life with the extraordinary vocal ability and superb mu-sicianship of the cast of this Louisiana Hayride Tribute Show,” says creator and producer Lori Risling, who offers a behind-the-scenes look at the art-ists being portrayed.

“You’ll be taken back in time and ex-

perience what was one of the most in� uential shows in music his-tory.”

The cast of multi-talented musicians includes William Brook� eld on double keyboard, guitar and banjo, and vocals in songs by Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Waylon Jennings.

Mike Melnichuk adds stand-up bass, electric guitar and smooth-as-silk vo-cals in songs by Faron Young, Red Foley and Merle Haggard. Gil

Risling adds electric and acoustic guitar and vocals as Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison. Back to reprise his role as Hank Williams is Pat-rick Ryley.

New to this show will be a tribute to Glen Campbell.

The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20 at the SASCU Rec Centre. Tickets are available at Touch A Texas, Wearabouts or www.ticketseller.ca.

Doreen Gloria McCaig passed away suddenly at her residence at the age of 79 years. A celebration of life will be held on November 28, 2014 in the Mountainside Room at Bowers Funeral Home from 3 until 5 pm. Jack Bowers, a long time friend, is the celebrant, and tributes and anecdotes will be shared by friends. The deBoer girls will sing special songs as part of the celebration. Cremation will be followed by a private interment in Mt. Ida cemetery with her husband Bruce who predeceased her in 2004.

Doreen was born in Vegreville, AB on October 7, 1935. The family later moved to Grimshaw. She married Bruce McCaig in 1954 and they relocated from Calgary to Salmon Arm in 1958. She first worked at the Bank of Commerce prior to opening her flower shop, the House of Flowers, in 1974.

Left to remember Doreen are her special friends Gary and Cheryl as well as a cousin by marriage Muriel Murrant of Peace River. Additionally, there are more people that can be counted who enjoyed her loyal long time friendship.

Doreen gained great respect for her artistic ability with flowers and for her prowess and love of baking. Her pies, cakes and bread earned her many awards at the Fall Fair, where she convened the baking section for many years.

She loved hosting dinner parties, both casual evenings with friends and extravagant dinners complete with hand written menus and fabulous table settings. Of course the evening would not have been complete without suitable beverages. A very few lucky brides also had their wedding cakes prepared by Doreen.

She was an avid reader and very proud of her skills as a wordsmith. She was a well-rounded reader with wide ranging interests. Her full size, unabridged dictionary held pride of place in her living room. Her extensive library brought her a great deal of satisfaction. A love of animals was Doreen’s trademark. She was especially fond of marmalade cats but no matter the colour any stray cat received her love, a home and veterinary care.

Doreen had a sense of humour like no other and she always said if you couldn’t laugh, especially at yourself, there was no use in living. Her idea of humour closely paralleled that of Maxine, her favourite cartoon character. This attribute stood her in good stead when facing the challenges that life threw at her. She lived life on her own terms and fiercely defended her right to make her own decisions. Doreen was not shy at showing her enthusiasm for living life with passion and sharing her opinions. She often expressed her gratitude to those who helped her remain in her home.

Memorial donations in memory of Doreen may be sent to the Shuswap Branch of the SPCA or to the Shuswap Community Foundation. Email condolences may be sent to Doreen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com .

Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

Capreece Bowers, Celebrant & Clinical Counsellor

George Alfred Puddifant passed away peacefully at home in Salmon Arm, BC, on Tuesday, November 11, 2014, at the age of 82 with his wife of 63 years, Edna, at his side. George was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on April 1, 1932.

George was married at 19 years of age to the love of his life, Edna Campbell, and moved to Ontario where George and Edna welcomed two of their five children, Linda and Carol. While living in Ontario George worked at the Steep Rock Iron Mines. When the mine shut down George moved his family back to his roots in Manitoba where the couple welcomed two more children, Bob and Judy. George first worked installing terrazzo flooring but being a very hard worker and dedicated to providing a good living for his family, then moved on to work for the federal penitentiary in Stony Mountain, Manitoba.

During this time George studied engineering by correspondence from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology where he earned his level 2 certification while working shift work and raising a young family. After several years at the Stony Mountain Penitentiary, George had the opportunity for promotion and he and Edna travelled by train with the kids to Abbotsford, BC, where George had a new employment opportunity at the Matsqui Penitentiary. They then welcomed their fifth child, daughter Kim. While living in Abbotsford, George was involved in the community by coaching hockey and baseball.

George was a wonderful man, a loving husband, dedicated and caring father, grandfather and friend and touched many hearts during his lifetime. He was always ready with a humourous story or two and loved being a part of a large family. He played many card games over the years with his children and grandchildren.

He will be deeply missed by his wife of 63 years, Edna, daughter Linda Peters (Henry), son Bob Puddifant (Barb), daughter Judy McCarthy (Grant) and daughter Kim Anderson (Mark). George was predeceased by his wonderful daughter, Carol DeVeer, in 2003. George is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Osteoporosis Society and/or the Osteoarthritis Society.

PUDDIFANT, GEORGE ALFRED

Florence Ruby Anna was born to parents Olaf and Hilma Widmark on March 9, 1926. She was the ‘tail end’ of a family of 5 kids, having 3 brothers, Stanley, Walter and Harold and one sister Opal. Her father homesteaded the farm property at Balmoral with her grandfather, who had both emigrated from Sweden. Her mother’s family were also from Sweden, and had started off their new world adventure in Minnesota, and then moved north to the Falun area of Alberta.

Ruby’s family was raised on the farm. Family income was supplemented by work in lumber mills, hewing railway ties, selling block ice from the pond and sales of milk and cream.

Ruby went to school as a young child at the old Balmoral School, now located at O’Keefe Ranch near Vernon. She attended school and reached Grade 9 before beginning to work as a cook in a variety of locations, sometimes in fishing or logging camps and also at the Montebello Hotel and York Café in Salmon Arm. She went to stay with her Grandma Olson in Wetaskiwin AB and to work at the Brightview Store, where she met the love of her life, George ‘Nip’ Bridge. They were married at St. Mary’s Church in Sorrento in 1950 after Nip’s parents, Lester and Harriet bought the small orchard where Sorrento Hardware is now located.

Ruby and Nip started a family in 1951, and by 1954 had moved back to the farm to help Ruby’s mother. Her mother lived with the Ruby and Nip for 15 years until her death. Ruby remained living on the original homestead until 2013 when she moved to Lakeside Manor.

Ruby and Nip farmed together, cut railway ties, ran a trail riding business and made a life together surrounded by their family and a wide network of farming friends. They enjoyed the Old Time Dance Club and socializing as well as working hard on the farm.

Ruby was a fiercely independent and capable woman, especially when faced with continuing on after the death of Nip in an industrial accident in 1983. She learned how to drive a car at the age of 56. With her brother, sister, their spouses and friends she did a few memorable bus tours and cruises. In later years Ruby enjoyed her grandchildren, painting, gardening, making music, skiing, walking and skating on the pond. She loved having neighbors and family drop by for coffee and her wonderful meals and baking. She loved to cook for large family events and make soup for the White Lake New Horizons club gatherings and drive her friend Lena shopping and to social events.

Ruby passed away November 12, 2014 and is survived by her 3 children, Judy (Marv) Southwick, Jack (Maureen) Bridge, Cherilyn (John) Drew, 8 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. She will be greatly missed by all her family, as well as extended relatives and friends.

The family would like to thank Dr. Adele Preto and Dr. Angela Plessis for their many years of care as well as the staff at Lakeside Manor, Piccadilly Care and the Hospice Society. In lieu of flowers donations to the Shuswap Hospice Society or the local Red Cross Loan Cupboard are encouraged. Online condolences can be made through Ruby’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Family will be hosting a celebration of life on Saturday, November 29th, 2014 at Carlin Hall at 2:00pm.

RUBY BRIDGE (nee Widmark)

Elvira Dzierzenga died peacefully with family and friends by her side at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 82 years. She will be sadly missed by her husband Erich of 60 years, her son Dieter (Ingrid) of Germany and daughter Conny (Ken) of Salmon Arm; 3 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; sister Gerlinde (Hans) of Germany; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her daughter Karin in 2011, sisters Erna and Brunhilde of Germany. Elvira was born in Eigenfeld, Bessarabia (today part of Moldova and Ukraine). Mom was an excellent cook and spent hours knitting and crocheting sweaters and dresses for her children and herself. She traveled throughout Southern Germany as a food demonstrator and was proud to relate her experiences. She spent most of her life in Germany and moved to Salmon Arm with her husband in 1994. She enjoyed German folk music and loved to sing along. She also enjoyed watching Steiner Theatre videos that her daughter Karin spent hours recording. We want a special thanks to go out to the staff at Bastion Special Care Unit for the loving care she received and also to Dr. Heunis for his support. As a Jehovah’s Witness she believed in the biblical hope of a future resurrection back to human life in paradise here on earth. We look forward to seeing her then, in health and happiness.

My daughter is 4 years old and she has lost her stuffed bunny rabbit. This is the stuffy who went everywhere with her. Al-though it appears she didn’t come home with us the last time. We’re not sure if it was lost in Vernon or Salmon Arm, as we were both cities that day. The bunny is similar to the bunny in the book “The Bunny’s Tale”, except our missing bunny shows signs of being loved a lot. She’s brown and white with a faded blue bow and white tail. If anyone could help reunite the bunny with my daughter, I would be very grateful. (250)379-2556 (250)938-4135

Fred passed away peacefully at the age of 93. He was pre deceased by Edie his beloved wife of 70 years. He is survived by his daughter Carol (Tom) and sons Doug (Colleen) Glen (Helen) grandchildren: Adam, Terra, Amy, Darren, Christine and great-grandchildren: Noah, Meghan, Ryan, Jayden and Luke who all lovingly cherish his memory.

Fred was born in Winnipeg. He and Edie met when he was 17 and it was love at first sight. They were married May 1, 1943 and he considered her to be his greatest inspiration throughout his life.

Fred was a WWII Veteran and enlisted in the RCAF in 1942; he served overseas with the rank of Flying Officer with “Snowy Owl Squadron 420”. His plane was shot down in March 1945 and he was a POW for 33 days. Although wounded, happily he returned home safely.

In 1945 Fred and Edie moved to Vancouver and Fred began his 29 year career as a Postal Officer. He later transferred to Kamloops and retired to Chase in 1977.

Fred and Edie shared many wonderful adventures and travels together. They shared a love of nature and the outdoors. Fred enjoyed fishing and perfected the art of fly tying. He loved canoeing and he and Edie paddled many of the rivers and lakes of BC, including the Bowron Lakes Chain. In the early days in Winnipeg they would take their canoe “Dinah “along with a gramophone and a brick of ice cream for a day of paddling. During those days they would spend time at Grande Beach where one of the highlights was dancing to the Big Bands.

Fred also enjoyed hunting, camping, oil painting, wine making and traveling; he especially liked Mexico for its culture and its people. He built the family cabin at Heffley Lake where we spent many wonderful times with family and friends. He also built bird houses for the Swallows in Chase and looked forward to their return each year. He had a real affinity for animals and although he didn’t have the opportunity to do it often enough, he loved horseback riding.

Dad’s greatest love was for his family and spending time with us. He made us all feel cherished. He was renowned for his wonderful warm, loving “bear hugs”. He taught us to always respect and love one another. Dad we love you so much and will miss you dearly. We take comfort in knowing you and Mum are together again.

Celebration of life will be held at their home for the family November 15 2014.
