Small businesses are the backbone of the BC economy. They comprise 98 per cent of all busi-nesses in the province, and employ more than one million British Columbians. That accounts for 56 per cent of private-sector employment in the prov-ince. Small business owners are hard-working, passionate people who dedicate long hours and an incredible amount of energy toward building suc-cess.

Here in BC, we’re doing some great things to help small businesses thrive, especially when it comes to cutting unnecessary red tape. It’s one of the key barriers small businesses face. That’s why I’m always proud to tell people that BC is number one in the country for regulatory reform. In fact, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business recently gave B.C. an “A” for regulatory reform– the only province in Canada to receive such a dis-tinction.

The Mobile Business Licence program is just one example. It allows mobile businesses to oper-ate in several municipalities with only one licence, so business owners can spend less time doing paperwork and more time on making their busi-nesses a success. The program reduces red tape by allowing mobile businesses to operate in more than one municipality by purchasing only one licence, instead of obtaining non-resident permits in each municipality in which they operate. Here in the Shuswap, the communities of Sicamous, Salmon Arm, Spallumcheen, Enderby and Armstrong par-ticipate in the Mobile Business License program and are seeing its many benefits.

October is Small Business Month in BC, and I want to hear your ideas on how to cut red tape. I’m especially interested in this area, given my own business background and my role as Parliamentary Secretary for the BC Jobs Plan. I encourage you to email me at [email protected]. And if you’re looking for small business resources, check out www.resourcecentre.gov.bc.ca. Enjoy your autumn!

Cutting through red tape

mlareportby Greg Kyllo

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressHealth care workers and visitors

in patient care areas will be required to have the current influenza vacci-nation or wear a mask when the annual influenza season returns in December.

Health care union objections to the policy were rejected by a labour arbitrator’s ruling this week, a deci-sion Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall called “good news for patients.”

The policy can now be enforced for staff across all of B.C.’s health authorities, particularly in long-term care facilities, Kendall said Thursday. Visitors will be on an “honour system” to keep their flu shots up to date or use a mask when they visit friends and relatives, he said.

The current influenza vaccine is available from doctors and pharma-cies around the province, and is free to those with chronic conditions or who come in contact with people who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza. To find out if you are eligible for a free vaccine, ask your doctor or pharma-cist, or call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1.

U.S. health care facilities have similar rules and voluntary compli-ance of staff members is very high, said Kendall, who has been pushing for the restriction for some time. Health employers now have the option of progressive discipline to

make sure employees protect against passing on influenza virus to vulnerable patients.

“We obviously hope it won’t come to that, because we believe that health care workers do care for their patients,” Kendall said.

The Health Sciences Association, a union representing lab techs and other specialists in the health care system, had argued that its mem-bers were entitled to make their own decision on whether to get the annual vaccine. It is formulated each year by international health authorities, based on the dominant strains of influenza that are found around the world.

Kendall said the arbitrator accept-ed research findings from the University of Minnesota that found the vaccine to be 90 per cent effec-tive in years when it is a “good match” with the virus strain that emerges during winter.

The study found that a less accu-rate match causes the effectiveness to drop as low as 40 per cent, but Kendall noted that is better than zero protection, which is what skip-ping the flu shot provides.

Arbitrator Robert Diebolt wrote that given the seriousness of influ-enza, a severe respiratory condition that causes death in frail elderly people each winter, increasing immunization protection is a rea-sonable policy for health care facil-ities.

Flu shot-or-mask rule upheld by arbitrator

Cell tower protest Last Thursday morning there was a protest against the proposal to erect

a cellular transmitter on private property off 20th Ave NE. Of greatest concern is the transmitter’s proximity to homes and school; it will be as close as 75 metres to a residence and 500 metres to Hillcrest Elementary School. Protestors blocked access to the property, causing some difficulty for work crews. Howard Vangool photo.

Standard Time returns early Sunday morning, November 3rd. Turn your clocks back one hour

Halloween comes at the perfect time of year – cool enough to really enjoy a good bonfire, yet not so cold that a parent’s choice of costume for their children requires planning for a snowsuit underneath.

I can only recall one childhood Halloween where it snowed, as we children went from house to house in our quest for treats. Back then, the fire department used to build a big bonfire and many parents would bring their children, fresh from candy collecting, to stand near its glowing warmth as we waited in anticipation for the firefighters to set off fire-works. There was always hot choco-late dipped from a large pot into sty-rofoam cups, sometimes served so hot it would take several minutes waiting in the cool night before a first sip could be safely taken. Other years, the drink would form a gelatinous skin on top before it could be fin-ished; which, when fished out, would hang dripping from a cold finger. Either way the hot cocoa was always welcomed by the people who would wrap cold hands around the cups as they enjoyed the warmth.

I don’t recall fireworks on Canada Day but I remember well how we would look up with awe on Halloween as the first big bang and flash of light announced the show was starting. The loud pops and bright colours had the entire audience participating in a

chorus of ooh’s and ahhh’s as we all watched the show.

Back then, the costumes were often homemade by industrious mothers, mine included, and I remember the rainy Halloweens for the stains on the skin that wet crepe paper would leave on faces and arms so noticeable in school the next day.

Participation in Halloween has grown over the years with not just the children but many parents and other adults looking forward each year to getting dressed up for work or just to go out on the town for fun. Each year now we have zombie walks and cos-tume contests in town. The popular Spooktacular at R. J. Haney Heritage Village & Museum is well attended by adults and children alike.

Haney has been doing an incredi-ble job of supplying Halloween enjoyment to the citizens of our area. They have continued the tradition of the bonfire and added a very well thought out spook trail that children and adults wait patiently in the crisp air to enjoy each year. Before it gets dark, the museum’s visitors are able to partake in booths with mad scien-tists and other strange beings at the museum itself, where hotdogs and hot beverages are served.

Once darkness falls, around 6:30 p.m., the first of the waiting crowd is led down the dimly-lit path along which each section has spectacular

and scary effects, often performed by live volun-teers. These surprise and thrill the guests as they cautiously pick their way along the trail trying to foresee what terrible fate awaits them at the next step. Along each leg of the journey, a different scene unfolds, each designed to get the partici-pants’ blood pumping and heart pounding. Here a scary werewolf jumps out from the bushes; there a mad scientist does inane experiments on his unwill-ing patient. Another few steps and an eerie monster makes its presence known as it guards its territory.

Finally, after every spooky step along the path has been tentatively trodden, the explorer emerges to return to warm by the bonfire and maybe enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and nibble at some candy as they chat about how scared they were along the trail.

On Halloween, many downtown businesses par-ticipate in a candy trail so youngsters can go door-to- door safely collecting their sweet treasure; and

Halloween more popular than everthe two shopping malls also have trick-or-treat events. I’ve noticed these last few years that there is a resurgence of the homemade costume, as adults and children alike shun the store bought ones and work together to make a costume that is individual to themselves.

Halloween just keeps getting better and enjoyed by more people every year. I hope you had a very happy and spooky Halloween this year.

COURTESY OF HARBOURFRONT FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC

by Dr. Warren Gage

familychiropractic

Many people have heard that high-quality choc-olate provides numerous benefits to health so this week I wanted to share some of my research into this topic. Researchers have been investigating an interesting group of indigenous people from Panama called the “Kuna.” Scientists have discov-ered that the Kuna people are one of the very few groups who do not experience rising blood pres-sure as they age. After analyzing their lifestyles, it was determined an integral part of their culture is the daily consumption of cocoa.

Now before I go further, it is also important to clarify these people do not get together and eat an extra large bag of Smarties while they sit around and visit – they are consuming minimally pro-cessed cocoa each day. In fact, the importance of the type of chocolate consumed was further sup-ported with the finding that Kuna people who moved away to live in Panama City quickly expe-rienced increasing blood pressure with aging simi-lar to the rest of the population. This occurs because once they move away from their villages and old ways of life, they stop consuming as much of the high quality cocoa.

Scientists studying the Kuna lifestyle have deter-mined chocolate high in flavanols is the key to their protection from high blood pressure. Flavanol helps reduce blood pressure by activating specific enzymes in the body that dilate blood vessels and improve blood vessel function. To maintain the highest concentration of flavanol in chocolate, it cannot be heated and processed. In fact, it has been shown as much as 70% of the flavanols are lost through standard heating and processing; which, until recently, is how most chocolate products con-sumed by North Americans are produced.

The good news is, chocolate companies are beginning to recognize the health benefits of their products if they are minimally processed and not over-heated. More products are beginning to arrive on the market which have higher flavanol concen-trations. In fact, the chocolate company Mars has developed a supplement line named CocoaVia designed to supply a daily dose of flavanols. The world’s largest cocoa producer Barry Callebaut from Europe is also developing products high in flavanols. As public demand increases, more prod-ucts will arrive on the market to ensure we all have a nice selection of healthy products for our daily chocolate fix!

Calendar girlsThe Pink Piston Paddlers dragon boat team hosted a free afternoon at

the movies on Sunday, Oct. 27th at the Salmar Classic Theatre. There was a good turnout for the movie Calendar Girls. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, information on breast cancer was available prior to the start of the movie. The event was funded by the City of Salmon Arm.

The Pink Piston calendar girls pictured above are (at the back, from left): Betty Mohninger, Carine Baird, Sherry Cochran, Martha Timm, Wanda Anderson, Judy Stockdale, Nola Woodcock and Marg Acton. Front: Monica Thiessen, Alyson Coubrough, Linda Brasier and Joanne Anderton. Photo contributed.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the intestine, causing abdominal pain with consti-pation, diarrhea, or alternating peri-ods of both. IBS is also known as spastic colon. It sometimes can easi-ly be mistaken for colitis, an inflam-matory bowel disease that is actually a more serious condition involving damage to the colon. Bloating is the most common symptom with IBS, with much gas and flatulence.

Normally, eating causes contrac-tion of the colon, resulting in the urge to move the bowels within an hour after a meal. For the person suffering from IBS, the colon seems to be more sensitive to stimulation and the urge to defecate may come sooner, often accompanied by cramps and diarrhea.

Diet plays an important role in

IBS. Intestinal disorders occur when processed foods are ingested on a daily basis. Processed foods lack enzymes and dietary fibre required for proper digestion. Meals high in sugar can contribute to Irritable Bowel Syndrome by decreasing intestinal peristalsis. A high percent-age of people with IBS are not only intolerant to table sugar, but also to other forms of sugar like mannitol, sorbitol and fructose. In over 80% of cases with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, tests reveal the presence of an over-growth of parasites or fungi. In that case, supplement with grapefruit seed, which has both anti-parasitic and antibiotic qualities. Recent data supports the use of probiotics for many digestive complaints, IBS being one of them.

Ragi (Eleusine coracana), also known as finger millet, has been used in India for 4,000 years. It is also present in bird feed. When I was in the southern part of India, I was com-pletely fascinated by the extensive use of millet. Its flour is as commonly used there as wheat flour is used in Canada. Learning more about millet, I found that it is one of the best foods for both growing children and seniors. Seniors there consume it for better health and for stronger bones.

Millet is one of the richest sources of calcium and iron among cereals.

One hundred grams of millet con-tains 3.7 grams of protein, 0.9 grams of fat, 87.3 grams of carbohydrate, 35.9 grams of fibre, 1110 milligrams (mg) of calcium, 290 mg of iron, 160 mg of phosphorus, 260 mg of sodi-um, and also contains potassium, vitamins B1and B2.

Finger millet is slow to absorb, so it is good for diabetic people. It is also good for those trying to lose weight; by eating ragi, the desire to eat will be lessened, thereby limiting daily calorie intake. Because it is rich in the above-mentioned nutrients, it prevents malnutrition in spite of a restricted availability of food. Millet

is also great for women going through menopause due its richness in calci-um.

Millet is also good for people with anemia, as it also has iron in it. Because it contains fibre it is also beneficial for people suffering with constipation.

Ragi can be used in place of wheat flour. A common way of cooking it here is to make a ragi malt drink using one tablespoon of ragi flour to one glass of boiling water or milk. It is preferable to first to dissolve the flour in little milk or water and then add it slowly to the liquid to avoid the formation of lumps and then boil for five minutes. Brown sugar, or jag-gery, may be added, and to spice it up, cardamom or cinnamon can be used.

Excessive use of millet should be avoided as it increases oxalic acid, and it is not recommended for people who have urinary stones.

Find this underappreciated cereal in local bulk and health food stores. In India, I was hooked on it and enjoyed ragi rotis.

Since its incorporation in mid-2013, the nonprof-it South Shuswap Health Services Society has been moving steadily closer to realizing its vision to promote sustainable health care and medical ser-vices for the South Shuswap. This is in keeping with its motto “Bringing health care closer to home” for the population of approximately 7800–10,000 people living in Area C of the CSRD.

A first step toward these goals was recently achieved when the SSHSS helped to sponsor mam-mography screening clinics in Sorrento and Blind Bay in September in conjunction with the BC Cancer Foundation. But the Society has bigger ideas, and has successfully secured Interior Health’s support in principal for 3 doctors, and are in discus-sion regarding lab facilities and a treatment room, a Community Care/Public Health Nurse, an adult daycare and a meeting room for patient education (e.g. diabetic care). These services would comple-ment the Nurse Practitioner who has recently been secured for Sorrento, by SACA, as well as their request for a doctor to be posted there, and would harmonize well with the existing expert emergency care services of the South Shuswap First Responders. Our growing population of many seniors and young families deserves more. When acute or chronic health issues arise, adequate med-ical services are currently 30 to 60 kilometres away, and these services are often overtaxed. The concept of “Bringing health care closer to home” is an excellent counterpart for the “Best at Home, Better at Home” vision of the BC Ministry of Health which, in part, strives to allow seniors to remain in their own home as long as they can.

While continuing to advertise for additional doc-tors, SSHSS is working to finalize the commitment of one physician familiar with the South Shuswap who is “thrilled with the prospect of working with you and the South Shuswap community. The potential to create a culture of preventative health and top quality healthcare when a community is on board….is amazing.” An existing facility is avail-able in Blind Bay with the capacity to support these necessary health and medical services. Watch for exciting developments in the New Year.

SSHSS invites you to support their vision by becoming a member of the Society and helping them demonstrate through a collective voice the commitment of the community to reaching its goals. A community health center in the South Shuswap will provide residents the same privileges that many other BC communities enjoy such Chase, Enderby, Armstrong, and Lumby, that have full medical and health services supported by IHA.

SSHSS meetings are held twice a month. Watch local media for time and location. To learn more, contact SSHSS at [email protected], call Sue McCrae 250-832-5932, or Tim Thompson 250-517-0354.

HORSES AND AUTOMOBILES DON’T MIXJean Robertson wrote: “A few weeks ago you suggested

Salmon Arm should allow carriage horses on the streets to entertain the tourists. It is a really bad idea as horses and traffic don’t mix. Someone did provide that service a few years ago. The poor old horse was over-worked and skinny and should not have been working in the heat, breathing gas fumes and walking on hard, hot pavement. They are trying to have the practice outlawed in Montreal.”

TELUS WILL HAVE 20 GOING DOOR-TO-DOORBefore Telus can bring fibre optics for improved telecom-

munications to Salmon Arm, it needs approval from home-owners. A man was at my place on Monday and I signed the permission form. He said five people are going door-to-door now, and another 15 will join them.

YOUR ELDERLY PARENT CAN LIVE RENT-FREEMany homes have a suite that is advertised as a mortgage

helper. If you have an aging parent or two living in a rural area, there is a way to move them to beautiful Salmon Arm and live rent-free.

A Vernon realtor has a low maintenance four-plex in Salmon Arm listed for sale. It features four one-bedroom apartments with no stairs, and great neighbours. All of the one-bedroom units are either completely handicap-equipped or handicap-accessible. A quiet pet is welcome. I recom-mend you buy it, perhaps in partnership with your parent, and take time this winter to downsize. Your parent could live in one condo apartment, and rent from the other three apart-ments will pay the mortgage.

What a way to have a mortgage helper! Call me and I’ll give you an information sheet from the realtor. 250-833-2129.

MOVEMBER IS HEREIf you see men who are usually clean-shaven suddenly

sprout a moustache, it’s because every November there’s a global fundraiser for men’s health. The website states: “Through the power of the moustache, vital funds and awareness are raised to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.”

WOMEN: GET RID OF YOUR MOUSTACHEI was beginning to sprout a few long hairs where they

didn’t belong, above my upper lip. I used scissors and twee-

zers for many years, but as I got older and more of them appeared, I decided to get them removed permanently by electrolysis.

Telus’s phone book has a listing for electrolysis treatments in its yellow pages. Evelyn operates Smooth as Silk Electrolysis Studio just a few doors from 5th Ave. Seniors’ Centre. 250-833-5181. She has gift certificates. Look for her ad in this issue.

ASKEW’S SELLS $9 HOCKEY TICKETSBargain rate tickets to SilverBacks’ games are available

at both Salmon Arm Askew’s food stores. They are $9 each. Don’t try to buy them too early, and don’t wait too close to game night because they will all be sold. Askews is a sponsor of the team, and sells a limited number of bargain tickets.

WALMART TO OPEN IN MID-NOVEMBERAn official date for the opening of the new Walmart store

in Salmon Arm has not been announced, but crews are stocking shelves.

Two doctors are opening Shuswap Providence Medical Clinic on November 8 inside Walmart. They are Dr. Megyesi and Dr. Plessis according to their advertising.

Two businesses are going outside Walmart SuperCentre on the SmartCentres’ property. They are Bulk Barn, Canada’s #1 bulk food franchise with over 4,000 products, and Jiffy Lube.

OKOTOKS FOUGHT WALMART FOR SEVEN YEARSIn 2007, Canada had 17 Supercentres. Five grand open-

ings of Supercentres in Alberta took place on one day: Pincher Creek, Lethbridge, Wainwright, Vegreville and Edmonton. The Okotoks store was scheduled to convert to a Supercentre in about a year.

A visitor from Okotoks to Salmon Arm told a business person that Okotoks people fought the arrival of Walmart and all were travelling the 40-some kilometres to Calgary to shop. However, when Walmart opened, all businesses in Okotoks had such an influx of shoppers that they never looked back.

GET A FLU SHOT OR WEAR A MASKHealth care workers and visitors in BC’s patient care

areas will be required to have the current influenza vacci-nation or wear a mask when the annual influenza season returns in December. Health care union objections to the

policy were rejected by a labour arbitrator’s ruling on Oct. 24.

Visitors, particularly to long-term facilities, will be on an “honour system” to keep their flu shots up-to-date or use a mask when they visit friends and relatives.

The current influenza vaccine is available from doctors and pharmacies around the province, and is free to those with chronic conditions or who come in contact with peo-ple who are at higher risk of serious complications from influenza. To find out if you are eligible for a free vac-cine, see www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfiles, ask your doc-tor or pharmacist, or call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1.

IDEAL WEATHER FOR SPOOKTACULARLast Saturday and Sunday, the weather was mild for the

HORRIBLE DRUG ARRIVES IN OK: BATH SALTSOne of the most addictive drugs has arrived in Kelowna.

Bath salts got its name because the drug resembles white crystals. It can be snorted, smoked or injected. The effects include hallucinations, paranoia and extreme violence.

Users report that bath salts are 10 times more addictive than cocaine. The main ingredient, MDPV, is banned in Canada.

Regarding the rebuttals to Mr. van Dalfsen’s article on the benefits of GMOs: It is clear there are misperceptions and a lack of knowledge about GMOs. To all that replied negatively, there seems to be quite a few personal percep-tions and distorted information about GMOs.

Mr. Gervais, you ask, “if GMOs are so good, why are they not labeled as GMO?” To my knowledge there is no claim that GMOs are “so good.” Organic. Farm raised. Hormone and antibiotic free, the list goes on, and in short this is only a marketing strategy. Regardless of labeling, strict guidelines are put in place to ensure our food is safe.

The topic “GMO” is heated and receives a lot of nega-tive attention, and I do understand that there is always the fear of the unknown, but that is in our everyday lives. I would just like people to start thinking, and to start consid-

ering one thing: How are we going to produce 70% more food over the next 40 years to feed the growing popula-tion? I have attended conferences and have been a part of many discussions addressing this very question. With an increasing global population, declining arable farmland, climate change, and limited water supply, how are we going to accomplish this?

As consumers, we need to be aware of the complications and continued challenges faced by the agricultural indus-try. The industry is continually bombarded with negative criticism stemming from misconceptions. Yet, farmers are faced with the biggest challenge of all, feeding the planet now and in the future. Farmers are feeding you, your fam-ilies, as well as their very own families. They are governed by strict regulations to ensure the safest food in the world

all while trying to be sustainable for the future. To my understanding, Mr. van Dalfsen is trying to state

the benefits he sees in using GMOs, and is trying to edu-cate the public of the positives to GMOs. And to date, there have been proven significant benefits of GMOs, especially in third world countries, and for future sustainability of agriculture that many appear to be unaware of. Just do the research, but only consider information from published studies.

Next time you think, read or hear “GMO,” please think of the future, the challenges the agricultural industry is faced with, and rethink the intended use of GMOs.

Friday, November 1, 2013 Lakeshore News A7 www.lakeshorenews.bc.ca

This letter comes to you based on a recent visit my family made to the Gardom Lake area. During this visit, I read a letter to the editor published in the Lakeshore News on October 18, 2013 titled “Current Gardom boat launch unable to handle vehicle vol-ume.” As a mother of three young children I felt compelled to comment on this article as my family visits Gardom Lake on a regular basis. One of the highlights of our visit to the lake is taking our canoe for a paddle around the shoreline. I have visited this area for the last 20 years and continue to be amazed at the vast amount of wildlife we see along the way. We transport our canoe on top of our car to the lake and enjoy a lei-surely paddle around the shoreline. I agree with the writer, as my observa-tions would confirm the abundance of wildlife within the entire lake and shoreline, not just in proximity to Musgrave Road.

The last several times we have pad-dled at the lake, we have launched our canoe at the new Musgrave loca-tion. I was impressed by the infra-structure and space that has been built

there as it was a safe place to park and unload our canoe. The enhanced development of the launching area even includes public washrooms, a welcome sight if one has young chil-dren in tow. In addition to this, the expanded area at Musgrave offers enough space for users to park vehi-cles with trailers and safely load and unload their boats.

I am perplexed why authorities would go to obvious great efforts and expense of the taxpayers’ money to develop the Musgrave boat launch area but forgo the installation of the actual launch. Would it not make sense to finish the Musgrave launch site and then install a locking gate at the entrance to the launch site during the loon nesting season? Does this not offer the most protection for the loons?

If the justification of shutting down a project that is three-quarters fin-ished is based on “environmental wildlife sensitives,” why does the makeshift launch at Teal Road con-tinue to operate?

Arlene Dever, Calgary, AB

New launch should be completed

It’s obvious the Teal Road access to Gardom Lake is dangerous for users. I don’t understand why the new launch at Musgrave will be left unfinished for the next three years or more. We need it now. As reported the CSRD’s reasons to stop the project was because the environmentalist saw irises and turtles at Musgrave Road (there’s turtles and irises all over the lake – put your glass-es on); a loon nest in the area (it’s more than 400 feet away), and a resident has a domestic water-line in the area (big deal – it’s obviously illegal and shouldn’t even be considered).

I hope this group isn’t examining any other simple but important issues, or we’ll never get anything done. Mr. Pachcinski and Rene Talbot should start talking and push this through. Enough is enough. Stop the bureaucratic bungling.

R. Labatte, Salmon Arm

The friends of Gardom Lake would like to take this opportunity to recognize the CSRD for follow-ing the recommendations of the environmental assessment report and stopping any further devel-opment at Musgrave Road.

The recently completed environmental assess-ment on the Musgrave Road and Teal Road boat launches recommended that “the CSRD avoid the development of the foreshore at the Musgrave Road access”… they also recommended that “clearing and widening of the riparian area at Musgrave Road be minimized.” This emphasizes the environmental sensitivity of the shallow bay and foreshore at which the Musgrave Road hand boat launch is located.

The completed Musgrave Park facilities at Musgrave Road currently include a hand boat launch, parking spaces, picnic tables, washroom facilities, signage and landscaping. Now lake users can hand launch at Musgrave Road or trailer launch at Teal Road. Those who choose to trailer launch can park their trailers at Musgrave Road

and enjoy the new facilities, which are within walking distance of Teal Road.

The Teal Road boat launch has been the public trailer boat launch site at Gardom Lake for over 40 years. FoGL appreciates that Teal Road will contin-ue to be the trailer launch, though we would like to see much-needed improvements to the site such as resurfacing the road, the installation of washroom facilities and garbage cans.

In order to make informed decisions about the future development of accesses on Gardom Lake, there must be detailed data collected of the num-bers and types of boats using each boat launch. A comprehensive Lake Management Plan must be in place before any further development of boat accesses at Gardom Lake occurs. We would like to work with all levels of government and groups who have an interest in, or are responsible for, the man-agement of Gardom Lake to develop this plan.

CAPRICORN Perceptions vary, Capricorn. Just because you feel strongly about something doesn’t mean another will view it the same way. Accept that your passion will not always be reciprocated.

AQUARIUSAquarius, even though it will be a busy week, you aren’t likely to feel wiped out. There will still be time for fun. Figure out a day to do something enjoyable.

PISCESPisces, you are torn between being creative and following convention at work. Ask a colleague for some input.

ARIESThanks to the chilly weather, a beach vacation beckons you, Aries. Start planning an excursion to a warm locale that allows you to escape the daily grind.

TAURUSA sporting event or something that draws a large crowd is just where you need to be this week, Taurus. Surround yourself with people who share your interests.

GEMINI Give an issue in your relationship the consideration it merits, Gemini. Though it might not seem like it now, taking time to work this out will ultimately strengthen your relationship.

CANCER Cancer, the final stages of a project you have been working on are ready begin. Don’t be afraid to take credit when all of your hard work pays off in a big way.

LEO Obligations to work and family leave you short on personal time, Leo. Though your schedule is hectic, make time to unwind and you will be glad for having done so.

VIRGOIt may take a while to convince someone to go along with your idea, Virgo. Yet once you have this person’s support, they will be fully on board.

LIBRA You may have been bouncing around aimlessly for some time, Libra. But now is the week to get all of your affairs together and put your plan for the future in motion.

SCORPIORestlessness can sometimes be a dangerous thing for you, Scorpio. Channel any restlessness into a worthy project that makes good use of your boundless energy.

SAGITTARIUSSagittarius, make the best of a situation that needs changing. You might not be able to affect change, but that does not mean you can’t improve the situation with a positive attitude.

It’s time for our annual “Mall Arkey Believe It or Not” list. It was started by ol’ Mall Arkey Senior years ago and so we thought we’d continue the thought-provoking tradition. The 2013 list will test your gullibility with stories of unusual doings. Can you guess how many of these items are true? Back in 2007, AT&T fired President John Walter after nine months, saying he lacked “intellectual leadership.” He received a $26 million severance package. Believe it or not?

Officials from the Occupational Safety and Health Admini-stration inspected their own offices and cited themselves on three safely violations. Believe it or not?

After a decade of negotiations and red tape, the Salmon Arm Walmart is finally going to open. Believe it or not?

A bus carrying five passengers was hit by a car in St. Louis, but by the time police arrived on the scene, fourteen pedestrians had board-ed the bus and had begun to complain of whiplash injuries and back pain. Believe it or not?

Despite being only 125kms east of us, the price of gas in Kamloops recently was 117.9 while in Salmon Arm it was 129.9. Believe it or not? Hint: this one gets on the list seemingly every year!

A 29-year-old man was pulled over because the car he was driving had been stolen from a parking lot. The man explained that he had stolen the car in order to drive to the Police Department and turn himself in on a family court warrant. Believe it or not?

Mall Arkey Junior recently went on a 50km bike ride with family and rides only to have to tow his 7- year-old son most of the way. Believe it or not?

A company actually did a study/survey to determine the amount kids are receiving from

the Tooth Fairy and published the results. Believe it or not?

Kids are getting an average of nearly 25% more from the Tooth Fairy this year than they did last year and in total Tooth Fairy gener-osity has increased over 40% since 2011 accord-ing to the study/survey mentioned in #8! Believe it or not?

While you are read-ing this article, the cal-endar would have flipped over to November! Believe it or not?

As usual, the solution to our 2013 Believe It or Not quiz is that they are all true. Well, at least that’s what the internet says, and if the internet says it’s true then it must be. I mean, Al Gore invented the internet, so it must be true!

By Tom Fletcher, Black PressSome “all season” tires are good

enough for winter roads in B.C., but not all of them.

That’s one reason why Transportation Minister Todd Stone has added the topic of tires to a provin-cial review of high-way safety that includes speed limits.

“It’s been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actual-ly changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatical-ly, particularly over the last five to 10 years,” Stone said Tuesday.

With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehicles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for require-ments that took effect Oct. 1 on routes that have winter conditions. Those routes have signs advising drivers to use winter tires or carry chains, and police may turn drivers away if they are not properly equipped.

True winter tires have a symbol of a

mountain and snowflake on the side-wall. All-season tires with the “M+S” mark to indicate traction in mud and snow are also permissible, but all tires must have a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

A quick test can be done using a dime. Point Her Majesty’s head down-ward and insert the dime in the tire tread. If the top of the head remains visible, the tire is too worn to qualify for winter conditions. Drivers have a choice of

investing in new tires or buying a set of chains.

The transportation ministry has a website at www.th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/winter_chains.html that includes maps of routes affected by winter restrictions, and tips on how to use tire chains.

Stone said that with 60 per cent of B.C. residents living in areas where winter conditions are not common, he is not considering making winter tires mandatory for all vehicles.

Are your tires ready for winter roads?

The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS) has part-nered with the Seniors’ Drop-in Centre to create a ‘Cyber Seniors’ computer tutoring centre. The Cyber Seniors computer tutoring program is off to a great start with 16 volunteer tutors and 19 learners signed up for the first session. Volunteer tutors and learners meet once a week to work on basic computer skills such as typing

tutorials, email set-up, Internet searches, etc. LASS would like to acknowledge the generosity of the New Horizons for Seniors program which helped fund this initiative.

A new tutoring session will be starting up in January. Please contact Jennifer Findlay at 250-833-2095 if you are interested in volunteering for this program.

Dirk and Antje Breugem, along with their kids Hannah and Jonathan, all participants in the September 14th Salmon Arm Bike for your Life Century Ride, present a donation cheque to George Zorn (left), a Second Harvest Food Bank volunteer and fellow cyclist. The donation was made on behalf of all 477 cyclists that participated in this year’s ride, along with the Ride Host Committee.

Cyclists ranged in age from 3 to 80 years, with most (3/4) coming from outside the Shuswap to par-ticipate in the ride. Many cyclists donated food and

funds in support of Salmon Arm’s Shuswap Second Harvest Food Bank. After expenses, a total of $8300 has been contributed to Shuswap Second Harvest Food Bank over the past two rides, with $3800 from 2013 and $4500 from 2012. The support of ride spon-sors and volunteers is very much appreciated!

The 2014 Salmon Arm Bike for Your Life Century Ride will be held Saturday, September 13, 2014. Online registration opens Monday morning, June 2, 2014 at 6:00 a.m. at www.bikeforyourlife.com/regis-tration.html. Photo by Clive Bryson.

Last Thursday, a number of children arrived at the downtown fire department at 7:30 a.m. to be chauffeured to their school on a firetruck. They had won this enviable prize at their respective schools as part of Fire Prevention Week earlier in the month.

The lucky kids were: Cole Bukmeier, Lando & Presley Birkett, and Malcolm & Meagan Seed, all of Bastion Elementary; Ella & Tate Spence and Joe Price, of Hillcrest Elementary; and Kolby & Oliver Simpson and Jayme Walker of South Broadview.

A very special ride

Since Jim retired to Vernon from Ontario, his extraordinary musical talents have been much admired by audiences and performers alike throughout the Okanagan and Shuswap. This master of the key-board often backs up Melina Moore at Sparkling Hill Resort, the Dharma Dolls, Tanya Lipscomb, and Judy Rose, to name a few. He also played for Melina and Peter Karrie in their Phantom of the Opera tours. Jim recorded a CD with Melina (her favourite jazz and show music) and contributed tracks on Tanya’s CDs. He is also the

keyboard player for the Cross and Crown worship band based at All Saints Anglican church in Vernon.

On Thursday, November 7th, Jim will be performing solo, pre-senting his entertaining history of jazz at St. Andrews United Church in Enderby (corner of Belvedere & Regent) at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are available only at the door; $15 adults, $10 youth and students. Presented by the Enderby and District Arts Council. For more information contact Diana at 250-838-2141.

Salmon Arm Art Gallery in part-nership with the Downtown Improvement Association is pleased to present “Downtown in Focus: Photography Then and Now” featur-ing historical and contemporary pho-tographs of downtown Salmon Arm. The exhibition invites visitors to tour both the gallery and the downtown exploring the art and architecture of Salmon Arm’s core. The historic pho-tographs are supplied by Salmon Arm Museum & Heritage Association, and the contemporary photographs were taken by Vickie Maurer.

The opening reception is Friday, November 1st, 7:00 p.m. The exhibi-tion runs November 2 to 29th

Cookie Langenfield, president of Downtown Improvement Association, states, “We are immensely pleased to

bring this retrospective yet for-ward-thinking photo exhibit to our community. The black and white photography is just beautiful; it helps us better understand the story of our downtown. We believe the exhibit will be both interesting and thought provoking to look through the lens of a camera at all the changes our down-town community has gone through over the last 100 years and to contem-plate where we want to go in the future. “

The Coffee Break is on Thursday, November 21 at 2:00 p.m., and some of the presenters will be in attendance to discuss the project. The Artist Trading Card session is on Tuesday, November 12 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m., with a “make & trade” table.

Focus on downtown photography

By Peter BlacklockThe laughter and fun that has char-

acterized the Seniors’ Theatre Program at the Cedar Heights Hall for the past three years is trying hard to spread to the Memorial Hall in Sorrento as well. The program is sponsored by Shuswap Theatre and the Government of Canada through the New Horizons for Seniors so there is no cost to participate other than membership in Shuswap Theatre.

This is not a program about acting,

it is more about “acting up.” The activities are built around staying mentally, physically, and socially active and fit. We learn skills for remembering and for telling stories and look at the kinds of situations which face all of us on a daily basis.

If you have ever thought you might like to try something just a little out of your comfort zone in a supportive and non-threatening environment, then this is the place for you. For more information call Peter at 250-675-3004.

Seniors’ Theatre comes to Sorrento

At noon on Saturday, Nov. 16, scores of budding authors will gather on all four Okanagan College campus-es to test their writing talents in the fourth annual Three-Hour Short Story Contest.

Open to students in Grades 11 and 12, and to all current Okanagan College students, contestants are given 180 minutes to create an original liter-ary piece that incorporates a word, phrase, or object revealed at the start of contest. Last year’s winner, Samantha Wex, said “Having the sur-prise element meant I couldn’t plan. I went in cold, and got to really see what I can do. It was fun.”

Five prizes are up for grabs. Each campus declares a regional winner who receives a $250 Okanagan College tuition credit. A grand prize winner is then selected from among the four regional winners and awarded an additional $250 tuition credit plus a chapterbook publication of their story

created by Okanagan College Writing and Publishing diploma program stu-dents and Kalamalka Press.

“The contest gets students excited about writing,” said contest organizer and Okanagan College professor Sean Johnston. “It’s an act of courage for many of the younger students to take part, but they walk away from the experience happy and surprised at what they were able to produce in such a short period of time.”

“The contest is also an introduction to the great diversity and strength of the College’s creative writing faculty,” said Johnston. “We have a program-ming and instructional focus on cre-ative writing, with many successful working authors teaching university transfer courses and the two-year Writing and Publishing program.”

Registration is free. Visit www.okanagan.bc.ca/3hourwriting to sign up before the Friday, Nov. 15 dead-line.

Consultation for the Shuswap’s Agricultural Strategy is on now.

See, you DO have an opinion.Don’t waste ideas - share them!

Singles, pairs, redds, single on a redd, carcasses; divided into sections. I spent hundreds of hours of walking, but how could you not enjoy the tangy smell of the cottonwood trees, on a crisp late fall morn-ing? Walking along a coppery yellow-co-loured leaf-filled stream, I enjoyed the gold and reds of autumn, and the smell of the earth – pure contentment.

One aspect of a fishery officer’s job, come fall, was the annual count of salmon stocks in 41 Interior streams. During mid-September, the chinook were restless to spawn to the Salmon, Adams, Seymour, mid-lower Shuswap Eagle, and Thompson Rivers. Normally counted by the Salmon Commission folks, sockeye were head-ing to the same streams, as well as Scotch Creek. Then, the coho would go to Hilliho (Bear Creek) off the Adams River, and all the above sys-tems, including the Kingfisher, Wap, Anstey east/west.

But our story begins many seasons ago, in Lumby (east of Vernon), as coho salmon migrated to their natal streams from the Shuswap River, up Bessette Creek, to Duteau, Crieghton, and Harris Creeks. Harris flows past what once was the large busy Weyerhauser sawmill. Problem was, it was closed and being dismantled, with parts shipped to Vavenby up the Clearwater. The writing was on the wall: a dwindling tim-ber supply; trucking costs, and many more boardroom decisions by management. It was a tough time for employees, their fam-ilies, merchants, and suppliers.

Diversification was required in sudden changing times, and the town of Lumby and its folks moved on. Will it happen again? We are overcutting our forests at an accelerating rate, and one only has to be in

the bush to see what is taking place. A recent chat with a pro-fessional forester confirmed this, as it was announced that the mills in Quesnel and West Fraser’s mill in Houston will be closing next spring. The truckers and con-tractors are caught in the squeeze, as own-ers and managers of the mills weigh their options.

For example: while falling/bucking one winter at Postill Lake as the faller buncher churned through the timber (20 hectares a day), cutting and stacking trees into decks for the skidders, five loaded McClelland logging trucks idled by the roadside in the

bush; while reluc-tant owners hag-gled over a 10- dollar-a-thousand raise in cost of trucking, while a blown hydraulic hose to the 966 grapple loader cost $2 a pail more.

We have been overharvesting our timber now for decades with little

going back to silviculture, thinning etc. It’s not only bad for our environment, but also for the economy. For those that are con-cerned, there will be more changes on the way in future, as wood supply to the Asian market increases, and raw log exports con-tinue to flow. One major mill owner in the Interior will have to close existing outlay-ing operations, and have the mill in Armstrong be the only one operating in the future. One reason the two northern mills will be closing, both claim, is the pine bee-tle infestation destroying their timber sup-ply.

I had an experience some time back dealing with an investigation regarding a major mill owner, a trapper, and the Forest Practices board, and timber harvest of bug killed timber, (600,000 cubic metres alone,

for one clear cut. The company not only took bug kill, but 60% standing green spe-cies, to divvy up with other mills.

The Forest and Range Practices Act put in place by the BC Liberals in 2004 stipu-lated that clearcuts cannot exceed 60 hect-ares. But with salvage harvesting, there is no upper limit. Those northern mills are faced with dwindling timber supply, long distances that must be traversed for hauling wood to their mills, and increasing operat-ing costs. A bipartisan committee of MLAs toured the Interior after the Burns Lake mill fire. Listening to folks’ input, they found that the people have a passion for our forests and the sustainable use of the land. As well, folks expressed their view of the health of our forests. Government was reminded that every tree harvested results in the best use for its fiber. However, it appears this is not happening, as harvesting continues on a shrinking timber supply, despite the province allowing an increase of 3 % for the Interior allowable harvest.

Here and there in the ShuswapHunting report: Most reports coming in

tell a tale of spotty game and high frequen-cies of predator sightings. Cougars are on the increase (mule deer are their choice of prey) and have been seen on logging roads. There have been lots of hunters out. Immature bull harvest has been light, with four animals taken in the Pratt Lake area over last week.

As late season weather arrives and leaves are dropping, the rut will begin for Mule and Whitetail bucks.

Interesting note: most deer are taken at about 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on any given hunting day.

Good luck to all hunters out there, and be safe.

Ski areas across Canada are opening their hearts and hills to over 700,000 4th and 5th graders, with an invitation to ski and snowboard all winter long.

All you need is a Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass, which is a coupon card offering 4th and 5th graders three complimentary lift tick-ets at each of the participating ski areas, all across Canada. With over 150 ski areas on this year’s SnowPass card, that amounts to over 450 days of skiing and snowboarding for a low price of $29.95.

The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass program is a ski and snowboard industry initiative that encourages kids to get outside and be active during the winter. Grades 4 and 5 were selected for the program because nine and ten years old are ideal ages to learn how to ski or snowboard. “The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass not only provides a unique opportunity to ‘try before you

buy’, it helps make skiing and snow-boarding more accessible to families who might not otherwise be able to partici-pate,” explains Patrick Arkeveld, President and CEO of the Canadian Ski Council, the non-profit organization that is spearhead-ing the program. “Even if the Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is only used once, it will have been worth it to the industry if we are providing a child with a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he adds.

Now in its seventeenth year, the Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass Program has already generated over a million resort visits by nearly 500,000 grade 4 & 5 children from across Canada. The program is funded jointly by the Canada West Ski Areas Association, Ontario Snow Resorts Association, Quebec Ski Areas Association and the Atlantic Ski Area Association.

Anyone who is currently in grade 4 or grade 5 (or born in 2003 or 2004) is eligi-ble for a SnowPass. The mail-in applica-tion forms are being distributed to schools across the country in early November. Applications are also available at www.snowpass.ca where you can apply for the SnowPass online by uploading a photo, proof of age or grade and making the pay-ment of $29.95 including taxes.

The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass can be used all across Canada and is valid beginning December 1st until the end of the ski sea-son. For children who apply in grade 4, the SnowPass can be used in two seasons; while they are in grade 4, with the remain-ing available lift passes while they are in grade 5.

For more information, including a full list of participating ski areas, visit www.snowpass.ca.

Grade 4s & 5s can ski and snowboard for only $29.95

With the winter fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about registering for the 2013/2014 Jackrabbits program. The num-ber of children registering for the program typically exceeds capacity, so please register early.

This cross country ski program for chil-dren is based on the ‘FUNdamental’ princi-ples of sport. It’s meant to be a fun and positive introduction to cross country skiing for children. Online registration is now open

and will continue until November 30th pro-vided there is space available (go to http://skilarchhills.ca/jackrabbits). The Jackrabbit Program is run entirely by volunteers and several new leaders are needed every year to help the program run successfully. It is not necessary that you are an “expert” skier to lead a group. If your children have been participants of the program but you haven’t taken a turn at volunteering, consider sign-ing up for next season.

Registration for the Jackrabbit program also includes entry into the Reino Keski-Salmi Loppet.

Those requiring financial assistance to participate in the program can also apply for funding directly through www.kidsportcan-ada.ca

Please contact Megan Brooke ([email protected]) or Carmen Fennell ([email protected]) if you have any questions.

Time to register for Jackrabbits!

CAPRICORN Perceptions vary, Capricorn. Just because you feel strongly about something doesn’t mean another will view it the same way. Accept that your passion will not always be reciprocated.

AQUARIUSAquarius, even though it will be a busy week, you aren’t likely to feel wiped out. There will still be time for fun. Figure out a day to do something enjoyable.

PISCESPisces, you are torn between being creative and following convention at work. Ask a colleague for some input.

ARIESThanks to the chilly weather, a beach vacation beckons you, Aries. Start planning an excursion to a warm locale that allows you to escape the daily grind.

TAURUSA sporting event or something that draws a large crowd is just where you need to be this week, Taurus. Surround yourself with people who share your interests.

GEMINI Give an issue in your relationship the consideration it merits, Gemini. Though it might not seem like it now, taking time to work this out will ultimately strengthen your relationship.

CANCER Cancer, the final stages of a project you have been working on are ready begin. Don’t be afraid to take credit when all of your hard work pays off in a big way.

LEO Obligations to work and family leave you short on personal time, Leo. Though your schedule is hectic, make time to unwind and you will be glad for having done so.

VIRGOIt may take a while to convince someone to go along with your idea, Virgo. Yet once you have this person’s support, they will be fully on board.

LIBRA You may have been bouncing around aimlessly for some time, Libra. But now is the week to get all of your affairs together and put your plan for the future in motion.

SCORPIORestlessness can sometimes be a dangerous thing for you, Scorpio. Channel any restlessness into a worthy project that makes good use of your boundless energy.

SAGITTARIUSSagittarius, make the best of a situation that needs changing. You might not be able to affect change, but that does not mean you can’t improve the situation with a positive attitude.

FEATURE OF THE WEEKGERRY & SON ROOFING & CHIMNEY SWEEP

Buy your wood heating system from someone who uses wood! Ron and Justin of Gerry & Sons Roofing have been ‘living and breathing’ wood heat their whole lives. They’ll set you up directly with the manufacturer, cut out the middleman, and have your wood heating system shipped directly! Plus they’ll install it for you as well.

It’s best to burn certain woods depending on the season:In the spring and fall, burn spruce, pine, cedar–make sure it’s dry. In the winter (below 0ºC) burn birch, fir, larch, and tamarack.

Check out the wood heat installation company before you hire them, and make sure they have the following: • BBB Membership • Valid Wett Certificate • Liability Insurance

Gerry & Sons Roofing also troubleshoots all systems – down draft-ing, back pressure, and insufficient draw are all caused by improper installation!EST. 1957

SPORTS & LEISUREFind it in the Lakeshore News

By Peter KociubaThe A&W Peewee Tier 3

SilverTips played a pair of home games at the Shaw Centre this past weekend, finishing their home stand with a 6-1 loss to Kelowna and a 10-7 win over Vernon.

On Saturday, the Tips quickly fell behind 2-0 in the first period. Once the home team settled down, however, they turned the tide with momentum definitely swinging in their favour at the end of the first. The break at the intermission seemed to lull the Tips back to sleep though, as they gave up another just 44 sec-onds into the second period. Salmon Arm got on the board when Ethan Lans tapped in a feed from Caden Sherman after an end-to end rush by Matt

Campbell but that would be as close as the Tips would get, fall-ing to the visitors by a 6-1 final.

Sunday’s game vs Vernon turned out a little better for the Tips, even though they fell into their familiar 2-0 hole in the first. Lans got the home team back within 1 with 3 minutes left in the opening frame, walking out from the corner and putting a backhand past the Vernon net-minder. Dominic Barbosa tied it up tucking a rebound in the yawning cage 3 minutes into the 2nd. Vernon took a 3-2 lead just 23 seconds later, before Barbosa tied it up again just over a minute after that. That was when Salmon Arm began to pull away from the Vipers, recording 4 more goals in the second frame. A blocked shot breakaway deke for Lans’ sec-

ond came just before a Kai Fazan point shot top corner snipe, set up by hard work from Henry Lenarduzzi and Damian Earl. Barbosa’s hat trick and Howard’s first of the game rounded out the scoring for the Tips in the sec-ond. Vernon would try to play catch up, but a hard working goal by Ty Bailey, breakaway shorty by Mason Balon and Barbosa’s 4th of the game sealed the victo-ry for the Silvertips. Tyler Bushell had a strong game for the home team, recording 3 assists.

“We really took away their time and space,” says Lenarduzzi. “We skated hard and it worked out for us.”

The Tips hit the road for a tilt vs West Kelowna on Saturday.

Peewee T3 Tips split weekend games

The Salmon Arm SilverBacks announced Thursday that 18-year-old defenceman Stewart Coyle has been traded to the Penticton Vees in exchange for future considerations.

ELDERTON, Pearl Alma (nee Lyon)December 3, 1926 – October 22, 2013

Pearl was born in Hedley, BC, the second child of four, all of whom predeceased her. In September 1942, her family moved to Britannia Beach where, when snow forced a school closure in early 1943, she took a job at the telephone office. There she learned to operate the switchboard and also an early IBM computer for the Britannia mine’s payroll, both jobs she held with the City of Vancouver where she moved in 1946. In 1947 she married Frank, whom she met at a YWCA dance. Their marriage spanned 52½ years until his passing in 2000. They began married life in Vancouver before going to Powell River, BC for a year and then Nelson, BC for six months. By 1950 they were in Vancouver where they stayed until 1965 when they moved to the BC Interior, living in Kamloops, BC for almost two years before finally settling in Silver Creek near Salmon Arm, BC in 1967. Frank’s retirement in 1981 took them to Sidney, BC for three years before returning to Silver Creek in 1984. In 2003 Pearl moved back to the Saanich Peninsula for two years before returning to live in Salmon Arm in 2005.

Mom, Gramma, or G.G. will be greatly missed by her family: her two daughters, Julie Davies of Salmon Arm and Terri Elderton (David Lehton) of Sidney; four grandchildren, Clint Davies (Holly) and Brett Pukas (Tyler) of Salmon Arm, Graeme Jack (Elize) of Victoria and Kirstanne Jack of Vancouver; and four great-grandchildren, Georgia and Nicholas Davies, and Ryder and Dusty Pukas.

Julie and Terri extend their most sincere gratitude to the Interior Health palliative care workers who helped them support their mom with dying peacefully at home. Many thanks to care aides Bridget, Sherry, and Kathleen, as well as to nurses Brenda, Rochelle, and especially Nikki Parr, whose kindness extended above and beyond, allowing us to give Mom a loving farewell, fitting for her generous spirit.

No service is planned. The family will hold a private ceremony when Pearl’s ashes will be interred in Hedley, BC in May 2014.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories through Pearl’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

PINYON, StanNovember 24, 1927 –

October 22, 2013

Stan passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013 at his home in Tappen at the age of 85 years. He was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta on Nov. 24, 1927.

He was predeceased by his parents, Eugene and Freda Pinyon.

Stan is survived by his loving family. His wife of 61 years, Margaret, daughters Alvina Gooch (Jamie), Vi Smith (Ken), Lorraine Snoek (Nick), Dolores Gooch (Ron) and son Gene Pinyon (Kandy); his brothers Norm (Irene), John (Annie) and Gordie (Margie), sisters Vi, Eve (Jim), Chris, Marge and Betty (Jim) and 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren and numerous other relatives.

Stan grew up in rural Alberta, the oldest of 9 children. He was very dedicated to his family and left school at the end of grade 8 to help out on the family farm. He milked cows and did field work. Driving teams was one of his favourite jobs. He later started breaking horses for extra money.

In 1951 he met Margaret Bodenham. They were married August 29, 1952. In the first years Stan worked hard, logging, farming and selling firewood to make a living. Their first 3 daughters were born in 1953, 1954 and 1956. Then in 1957, Stan moved his family to BC and worked in various logging camps until they settled in Lone Butte in 1959. In 1960, their 4th daughter was born. In 1961 they moved to 100 Mile House and lived there for several years. Stan worked in various sawmills as a sawyer and their son was born in 1968. The following year they moved to Tappen, a favourite holiday spot where they built their house on a 15-acre farm. Stan worked as a millwright and sawyer at a local mill. In 1978 he worked for Gentry Farms delivering eggs and grinding grain until he retired in 1992.

Stan enjoyed many camping, fishing and hunting trips with his family and summers spent on his brother’s farm in Alberta putting up hay with horses. Over the years as his family grew, getting together at reunions and other special occasions made his life complete. Though our husband, dad, grandpa and great grandpa has left, he will always be with us in our hearts. On Sunday, Nov. 3, 2013 there will be a Celebration of Life at 3:00pm at White Lake Hall.

If you would like, contributions in memory of Stan may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 729 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, V2C 2B5.

Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium, Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129.
