Save our Similkameen dispels rumors

A meeting to provide accurate information to the community was hosted by Save Our Similkameen (S.O.S.) on Friday, Aug. 10. Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Concerned members of Princeton and Area H participated in a community meeting at the Senior Citizen’s Branch #30 Hall on Friday to both provide and receive accurate information in regards to the future of health care. The meeting was hosted by Save Our Similkameen (S.O.S.), to open the lines of communication in the community and to stop the rumors that have been flying throughout it. A power point presentation of the chronology of work that has been done in effort to bring back 24/7 emergency room services was presented by Solana Allison, president of S.O.S. “There is so much anxiety” said Allison, as part of the stakeholders table we owe the community accuracy.” Allison said that the disconnection within the community needed to be fixed. “No one should feel like they’re in the dark,” she added. Throughout the meeting questions were asked and answers given, resulting in residents becoming much clearer about the processes involved. Almost all present at the meeting were of the belief that Princeton General Hospital was owned by the town but learned that in fact it had been preempted by the province and given to the Interior Health Authority (IHA) years ago.

Smoke over community and across the province comes from Siberia Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

On Monday, Aug. 13 incoming calls from residents concerned about forest fire possibly surrounding the community prompted the Spotlight to investigate the situation further. No smell of fire seemed to be present with the growing amount of smoke, no wildfire was listed on the web so, a call to the Kamloops Fire Centre was placed to get information on the local district situation. The smoky conditions seen across B.C. over the past two days is a result of smoke drifting over the Pacific from Siberia. The smoke will move across the central interior of B.C. and into Alberta. Fires in Siberia have been burning for months. As of July 31 there were 123 fires in the region. Firefighters have been unable to control the raging fires in Siberia. A state of emergency has been declared in central Siberia; the Tomsk Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Republic of Tuva. Within the first few days of August, 46 flash points were extinguished and 35 new ones had started. NASA has satellite that tracks aerosols (fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas such as clouds, smog and smoke) that travel across the globe.

The satellite has been tracking the smoke from the Siberian fires into the United States and Canada. It has been reported that the plumes of smoke caused by the intense heat of the fires have reached heights of 12 kilometers or more, have been picked up by winds, and carried across the Pacific into the upper atmosphere. To view images and for more information please visit: www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/fires/ main/siberia-smoke.html Check out the observatory for images at: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/ Princeton is a part of the Kamloops Fire Centre, one of six regional wildland fire centres operated by the B.C. Forest Service’s Wildfire Management Branch. As of Monday, Aug. 13, the fire centre reported that there was an air patrol being conducted by Wildfire Management Branch to search for additional wildfire starts. For more information on the Kamloops Fire Centre visit http://bcwildfire.ca/AboutUs/ Organization/Kamloops/ Please call toll-free 1 800 663-5555 or dial *5555 on your cell phone to report a wildfire or unattended campfires.

RUMORS - from page 1 The centralization of healthcare (consolidation of services in a larger centre) is resulting in the downgrade of rural hospitals. Residents learned that Princeton is one of 55 communities suffering cuts to healthcare services. The question of whether Dr. Eva was leaving Princeton was asked and the answer given was—he was not. Along with the chronology of the work done to date, residents learned that the Rural Emergency Enhancement Fund (REEF) application was ongoing—although complicated due to the fact that a contingency plan has to be completed. This plan details that a doctor must have standby doctors to cover their positions if necessary.(ie: in the event of illness or death) The plan is complicated and hard to finalize because of the fact that there is a provincialwide shortage of doctors. Both Allison and Area H Director, Brad Hope commented on the fact that the IHA was dealing with bureaucracy from the province which in turn makes the processes more complicated.

Although there is a shortage of doctors provincially, residents were assured that the recruitment of locums is going well. Positions for November and December are being filled currently. Residents began asking for and offering suggestions of what they could do to aid in the return of emergency services 24/7. “The more community involvement we have, the better our hospital will be in the future,” said Hope. Hope felt that the meeting was good, community feedback was excellent and that a better understanding of both sides of the equation had been developed. To-date between the volunteers of the Community Hospital Forum and the Stakeholders Table, funding has been acquired, housing for locums provided and locums to fill the emergency room positions have been found. “The stakeholders group has stepped up to the plate,—if IHA steps up to the plate, we can move forward,” said Hope, I am very optimistic that this will work out,” he added.

ELECTION - from page 1 For Mayor of the Town of Princeton: Rosemary Doughty - Total number of valid votes cast - 170 Frank Armitage - Total number of valid votes cast - 548 Doug Pateman, elected to the position of Councillor said the campaign was fun and an experience to be remembered. “I am looking forward to working with Frank, Jason, Kim and Marilyn,” he said. “I appreciate the support of the voters and the people who were backing me.” The new mayor of the Town of Princeton is Frank Armitage. He is looking forward to getting back to work for the community and working with the members of council. “Council is a great group and Doug will be a welcome addition” he said. “I am very pleased with the results of the election and greatly appreciate the support shown.” To keep up to date with municipal information please visit the town website at www.princeton.ca or attend the regular meetings of council. Regular meetings of council are held on the first and third Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m., in the Library meeting room. Next meeting will be held Monday, August 20.

B.C. arts, culture grants maintained Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has provided $16.8 million for community arts and culture grants for the current year, matching last year’s total with help from a dwindling 2010 Olympic legacy fund. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong announced the funding Monday in Victoria, along with B.C. Arts Council chair Stan Hamilton. The BCAC has juries that assess funding applications, and has already doled out about $6 million of this year’s budget. With less than half the money allocated in Chong’s current ministry budget, another $6.75 million came from the 2010 Sports and Arts Legacy. That $60 million fund was created in the 2010 budget to offset earlier recession-driven cuts to adult arts and sports organizations from provincial gambling revenues. It will be gone after this year, and there is no indication where it might be made up next year. When the recession hit in 2008, the B.C. Liberal government cut grant funding from the B.C. Lottery Corp. from $156 million to $113 million, then raised

it back to $120 million to restore funds to school district parent advisory councils. Applicants were told that arts and sports funding from lotteries would be restricted to organizations for young people and the disabled. Premier Christy Clark promised to restore funds while campaigning for the party leadership last year. Once elected, she announced a $15 million increase in gambling funds for a range of organizations including community service clubs, fairs, festivals and museums. Chong said she sometimes meets artists and organizations who are not aware that they can apply to the B.C. Arts Council for grants. Eligibility requirements and application forms are available at www. bcartscouncil.ca. The largest recipients of arts council funding include the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra ($1.2 million last year), the Vancouver Art Gallery ($630,000) and the Vancouver International Film Festival ($82,000). Chong said more than 1,000 grants Tom Fletcher/Black Press are given out to 200 B.C. communities, Cabinet minister Ida Chong and B.C. Arts Council chair Stan including $1.1 million to writers, publishHamilton announce grant fund at Victoria Public Library ers and literary festivals, as well as scholMonday. arships for new writers.

Invest in your children’s education early NC)—You work hard to provide for your family and to make sure your children have every opportunity to climb the ladder of success. A post-secondary education is one of the best ways for them to reach their potential. In fact, a study by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada showed that 70 per cent of all new jobs in Canada require postsecondary education. “The study also showed that on average, university graduates earn $1.3 million more over their lifetimes than workers with only a high school diploma,” says Peter Lewis, a vice president with the Canadian Scholarship Trust Foundation (CST). “With benefits like these, the value of a university education is clear. But given how expensive university can be, it’s so important to start saving for your children’s education as early as possible.” Simply opening a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) account can be a valuable early step. If your family receives the National Child Benefit Supplement, you are eligible for the Canada Learning Bond program. The government will deposit $500 into your child’s RESP when you open the account, and adds $100 every year they are eligible until your child is 15 years old. The government also provides a Canada Education Savings Grant, which matches 20 percent of the first $2,500 of

contributions in RESPs each year. Families with average or lower incomes receive 30- 40 percent on the first $500 contributed annually, so even small amounts add up in a hurry. The challenge, if your budget is limited, is in finding the right options to make the most of your savings. “If your budget is limited, then group plans are a good choice,” says Lewis. “In group plans, the investments of many people are pooled together. This gives the fund manager more leverage to grow your investment than an indi-

vidual would have on their own.” When weighing your options for RESPs, the first thing to do is to speak with a knowledgeable professional. In choosing the right RESP provider to manage your money, consider how comfortable you are risking the money you invest. Some providers aim for higher returns but in bad times lose money, while others emphasize consistent, steady growth. It can also be helpful to look for additional benefits the provider might offer. CST, for example, distributes $75,000 in graduate scholarships to members of their plans every year. It’s also important to consider the size of the organization, and their history of delivering returns for their clients. www.newscanada.com

Interior Health wins provincial award In recognition of its ongoing commitment to emission reduction and sustainability, B.C.’s Climate Action Secretariat and Carbon Neutral Committee have presented Interior Health (IH) with a 2012 Climate Action Secretariat Award. The award presentation was made at the Carbon Neutral BC: Building on the Leadership of B.C.’s Public Sector conference, recently held in Richmond. Dr. Terry Lake, Minister of Environment, who was a key speaker at the conference, congratulated IH on its achievement, “Interior Health is to be applauded on the leadership it has demonstrated on climate action, and the sustainability work carried out across the health authority by its ‘Green Teams’,” he said. Also highlighted during the conference was an Interior Health initiative to reduce building energy consumption. Interior Health has successfully collaborated with a software vendor to make its utility management software smarter. The software tracks energy use in IH buildings and allows IH to normalize use with weather. Plant managers, supervisors and others can log in to the software at any time to see their building’s energy performance. This is one of many tools used by IH to help make informed decisions that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, lower energy costs and improve daily operations. Our aging and expanding population is placing additional demands on health care and resources. Dr. Robert Halpenny, President & Chief Executive Officer at IH, believes that we have a responsibility to meet this increased demand without compromising the environment we live in. “To accommodate for growth, we need to build and expand our infrastructure. And, in doing so, we must ensure we consider the environmental impact, minimizing harm and taking actions to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible,” said Halpenny. Over the last decade, Interior Health has been recognized with a number of awards for its leadership on environmental sustainability. In June 2011, Interior Health received the Energy & Environmental Stewardship Award from the Canadian College of Health Leaders (CCHL) - the first organization in Western Canada to receive this award.

SELF-CARE & WELLNESS ADVICE from your Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacist HEAD LICE AND IT’S TREATMENT Julie Traballo

Jennifer Gillcash

Head lice are tiny parasites that live in your hair and feed on blood from your scalp. A single one is called a louse. When lice bite into the scalp to get blood it can cause itching. Lice lay eggs called nits in the hair. It is very hard to get rid of nits and head lice. Head lice mainly affect children, and they spread quickly and easily from child to child. Head lice are especially likely to spread if people share brushes and combs. How do you know if someone has lice? The only way you can know for sure if a child has head lice is by finding a living louse. Although head lice often make your scalp itch, itching could also be caused by other things. To be really certain, you have to find a living louse in the person’s hair. But how can you see them? Head lice are only 2 to 3 mm long. They have flat bodies and no wings. Unlike fleas, lice cannot jump. They are usually greyish brown in colour, but this can vary. Because head lice are very small, it is difficult to see them in a tuft of hair. Carefully combing hair could help to find lice, particularly if it is damp - they might be detected this way. If your child still has a few nits after being treated for head lice, but you have not found any lice for while, they are probably gone. Dead or hatched nits can stick to the hair for along time after the infestation with living parasites is over. How can head lice be treated? Head lice do not generally go away by themselves: treatment is necessary. To have a big enough effect, the treatment usually has to be applied more than once. When using anti-lice products it is important to follow the manufacturers instructions because very product is applied slightly differently. There are a number of options. The lice can either be treated with a special comb, pesticide-free medication, or a pesticide-based product. The combing approach involves wetting the hair and removing lice with a very fine comb. Here it is important to use the comb regularly and very thoroughly - 2 weeks will probably be enough if the comb is used at least every 4 days. Although lice combs help remove lice, compared to other treatments, combing is less likely to get rid of all the lice, which can lead to new symptoms. Visit your Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacist to get more information on how to get rid of head lice using different products available over-the-counter.

SpotlightOPINION

Community stars Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Election day has come and gone—and again low voter turnout. I still do not understand why people do not go vote when it is such a vital part of being part of a democratic society. However, I will not continue to rant about my lack of understanding. Throughout my newspaper career I have had the very great pleasure of meeting and talking with individuals from our community which I will dub as “community stars.” To me, community stars are those individuals who volunteer their time, stand up for their community and or come forward to serve their community. Over the last few months I have come across some extraordinary community stars—people that give of themselves tirelessly and extensively striving to make this community a better place to be. The stars that I am speaking of are the individuals who have come forward to fight for our hospital. From the grassroots group of Save our Hospital Coalition, members and directors of Save our Similkameen, Community Hospital Forum volunteers, Industry representatives, to our doctors and community leaders—these people have spent months researching and compiling information to find solutions to solve the 24/7 emergency room issue. They have come up with funding, housing and even doctors to cover the ER. They have spent countless hours in meetings, sometimes leaving in disappointment, but never giving up—refusing to accept anything less than what they believe their community deserves. I don’t believe the words “Thank you” could ever be said enough for what these people have done and continue to do, but I will say that I and many others are truly grateful to be living in a community that has such dedicated citizens. I’ll just bet too, that each one of these community stars came out on election day and placed their vote—again supporting their community.

Princeton, has some very special people I want to express my gratitude to some very special people in your community who helped me through a difficult situation recently. Making my way to Chilliwack, my car broke down in downtown Princeton at 5PM on Sunday of the August long weekend. I was stranded! First time in my 34 years of traveling. Luckily, Brandon and his friends were there right away for me and set me up with potential repair people to call. We text into the evening about who could help me the next day. On Monday morning, Peter of ABBA Towing took a personal interest in my plight (went out of his way to help in too many ways to list). He called Byron and had him tow my car to PR Automotive. Dave the mechanic and Peter had, by noon, the issue pin pointed and ordered the parts from Lordco (who were also

open on a holiday Monday). One of the parts would not be available until Tuesday morning but they assured me I would be on my way by 2PM. Clint the timing belt specialist, made it happen for noon. I stayed at the Riverside Motel. Tugs Cabins. Very comfortable. Emily and Gord were great hosts and the setting was so peaceful at a stressful time. From what I witnessed, in my unplanned 40 hour stay, is that these people reflect the spirit of all who live here. Thanks for all your help Princeton. Bruce Wack, Crescent Valley, BC.

This is not a partisan issue On August 4, the Kitsilano Search and Rescue (S&R) base once again proved its effectiveness at dealing with marine emergencies as Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) specialists were first on the scene after a cruise ship carrying 250 passengers collided with two boats during a fireworks show in Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English Bay. I wish to offer my congratulations to the S&R specialists for their quick and effective response. Their longstanding commitment to keeping the people of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harbour safe is cause for celebration and admiration. Unfortunately, the federal government made a decision to close this base in 2013, for minimal cost savings. The recent incident in English Bay highlights the necessity to keep the base open. Thankfully, the collision did not result in any serious injuries, but Coast Guard responders arrived quickly, ready to respond to any crisis. Kitsilano S&R specialists provide an essential emergency response service in some of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busiest waterways. If the government decides to go ahead with the base closure, the nearest response

team will be stationed 17 nautical miles away in Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which means longer response times, especially in rough weather, and greater chance of disaster. At my recent community meeting on the issue of the closure, citizens as well as marine safety professionals emphasized the importance of the base to Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety. To this end, I introduced a motion in the House of Commons, motion M-396, calling on the government to recognize the importance of the Kitsilano CCG base to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency preparedness, and to retain its current operational level. This is not a partisan issueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it is about public safety. The government must not wait for disaster to strike to acknowledge the need for skilled S&R responders at the Kitsilano base. They should move immediately to reverse their decision, which otherwise will result in preventable deaths merely to save a few dollars. Yours sincerely, Joyce Murray, MP Liberal Party of Canada Critic for Small Business and Tourism

REGISTRATION NIGHT

Saturday August 11, 2012 was voting day for Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s By-Election, at the time this picture was taken the polls were not busy (although it was reported there was a line up earlier in the day) the number of votes placed was less than 900.

Cynical tricks As leader of the BC NDP, Adrian Dix seems to have latched onto the same cynical trick used by one of his NDP predecessors to lull BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business community into a reassured, sheep-like state of complacency about the NDP and the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to manage the BC economy. For the past year, Dix has been making the rounds of various business groups in the province to deliver a â&#x20AC;&#x153;have-no-fear-we-arenot-the-same-NDP-weonce-wereâ&#x20AC;? message. This is exactly the same thing NDP opposition leader Mike Harcourt did, and said, back in

the late 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and early 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s before he was elected premier. Well, we all know how that worked out. In the end, thousands of young people had to leave communities in every part of the province just to find work. Please tell me that BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business community and the people of BC are not so naive that they will fall for this same NDP trick a second time. BC barely survived the last bout of NDP government. Another bout of NDP government could do this province in forever. Matthew Enns

Prospects in the Similkameen Part 2 - Zeolite Zeal Steve Arstad Keremeos / Okanagan Falls Review

“We’ve been in the area since 1994,” said Ray Paquette of the Canadian Mining Company (TSX.V- CNG), who control the Sunday Creek zeolite deposit west of Princeton. Paquette said the company is in the process of securing drill permits for the deposit as application to extract a 10,000 ton bulk sample is also underway. “The first phase of our program is to produce enough zeolite to satisfy local markets,” Paquette said of the company’s business plan. Paquette intends to produce zeolite that can be cut into fertilizers at a rate of 10 percent, to be used as a soil amendment. Zeolites can also be used to control odours in fertilizers as well. Paquette sees the wine industry and other agriculture industries as local customers who will benefit from the product. “There are markets in Kelowna, Penticton, Osoyoos, Keremeos, and Abbotsford,” Paquette said, “many of whom have a need to control odours because of their proximity to urban areas. We can supply zeolites F.O.B. our quarry site for $45 per tonne.” Paquette intends to concentrate on local agricultural markets initially, as milling of the product isn’t initially necessary. “It’s our immediate goal to ship locally,

New, environmentally friendly uses are being found for Zeolites - which are microporous, aluminosilicate minerals commonly used as commercial absorbents - every month supplying the local bio solids market,” Paquette said, “we have also spoken with local trucking firms who are looking for backhaul loads. Transportation costs are killing everyone - there is a strong local market accessible from our quarry site - and we can supply it at an affordable price.” Future plans could include construction of a four million dollar mill in Princeton that would enable CMC to produce zeolites for other markets that require particle sizing. Technical properties of zeolite The Canadian Mining Company has staked several zeolite properties west of Princeton in the Sunday summit area of the Hope-Princeton highway.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to showcase your photographic talent. Submissions must be received by 5pm Friday, Sept. 14th, 2012 to garner consideration. Go to totabc.org/photocontest for more details If you would like to know which type of traveler you are, just scan the QR code and take the short quiz. Upon completion, you will be provided with a brief profile of your traveler type. Submitted photos become the sole property of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association for all intent and purpose and may be published in multiple formats.

Zeolites stockpiled in a ﬁeld in Cawston

The properties, known as The Sun Group Zeolite Project is located close to the highway and has been prospected to the point where a large zeolite resource has been identified - 46,600,000 metric tonnes at a high cut of CEC (cation exchange property). Zeolites are natural inorganic, non-toxic porous volcanic minerals with a highly regular structure of pores and chambers that allow for molecular sieving, absorption, ion exchange, dehydration and rehydration of physical and chemical properties. Zeolites are composed primarily of potassium, calcium, sodium and aluminosilicate. These elements are arranged within the mineral in a “honeycomb” structure. Zeolites have a high CEC studies indicate 10 to 12 times that of an equal volume of sphagnum peat. The surface area available for absorption of a half pound of elina is approximately the area of a football field. Zeolites are used in many applications including; • Turf and Soil Enhancement • Soil Remediation • Golf Course Turfgrass Maintenance • Oil Absorption • Aquaculture and Pond

Filtration • Removal of Heavy Metals • Treatment of Radioactive Ions • Animal Feed Supplements • Odour Management Control • Sra.ll Maintenance (odour/moisture) • Spotts Field and Parks Amendment • Effluent Treatment • Water and Air Filtration • Flood Relief Control (moisture/mildew) • Organic Composting • Animal Manure Treatment Zeolites can also be used to improve turf development, whether sodding, seeding, or top-dressing. Zeolites reduce “nutrient leaching” from the soil, improve plant shoot growth rate as well as improving the growth of greens, with less water consumption. In the livestock industry, zeolites can be used to eliminate odour and moisture around livestock, without side effects. Zeolites won’t burn, dry or crack animal hooves, it keeps animal stalls drier and is non-hazardous and non-toxic. New uses for zeolites are being found every month.

Zeolites contribute to a cleaner, safer environment in a great number of ways. In fact nearly every application of zeolites has been driven by environmental concerns, or plays a significant role in reducing toxic waste and energy consumption. In powder detergents, zeolites replaced harmful phosphate builders, now banned in many parts of the world because of water pollution risks. Catalysts, by definition, make a chemical process more efficient, thus saving energy and indirectly reducing pollution. Moreover, processes can be carried out in fewer steps, miminising unecessary waste and by-products. As solid acids, zeolites reduce the need for corrosive liquid acids, and as redox catalysts and sorbents, they can remove atmospheric pollutants, such as engine exahust gases and ozone-depleting CFCs. Zeolites can also be used to separate harmful organics from water, and in removing heavy metal ions, including those produced by nuclear fission, from water.

Summer has arrived and we are enjoying the deer that frequent our property. This male fawn has been around on a number of occasions and has made Tellier’s Fisherman’s Cove his home. Mom drops by from time to time to nibble at Terry’s garden and make sure her young fawn is doing alright. The other day while sitting enjoying a morning coffee on the deck and listening to all of the different birds that grace our area, I could hear loud hoofs hitting the dirt and when I looked around the corner I could see a female Mule Deer being chased by a male Mule Deer and right behind this was another deer and it was our male White Tail. This game has been played over and over a number of times this year.

July 2012 CAPRICORN: Capricorn, you may find you’re struggling a little to define your identity, but things will fall into place soon. You’re an ecclectic mix of attributes, anyway. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, maintain a positive attitude this week and you’ll benefit greatly from having done so. Once you get it right, everything will click. PISCES: Pisces, for one reason or another, some issues will go unresolved this week. They can wait, so don’t worry. ARIES: Some change is in order, Aries. You have realized it for some time now, but this week it must come to fruition. Think about the way you want to approach this. TAURUS: Taurus, you are on an emotional roller coaster and don’t know how you will feel from one second to the next. Figure out your goal for each day and then go along for the ride. GEMINI: Gemini, you feel like staying in a dream world surrounded by a fence of your own making. But the reality of work and family life has to set in at some point. CANCER: There is something in the stars this week pushing you to make a change, Cancer. The change may be as simple as wearing your hair a new way or as significant as changing careers. LEO: Things are off to a rough start this week, but better days are right around the corner. Keep thinking about the good times ahead. They will be here before you know it. VIRGO: Virgo, it’s time to reconsider a difficult situation. If you still hold to a particular belief, you could be limiting your possibilities. Adopt a new point of view to gain a different perspective. LIBRA: This is the week to shop for something new, Libra. It may be a new wardrobe, some new furnishings, or even a new car. Your purchasing power is high right now. SCORPIO: Your academic history and workload don’t leave much room for creativity. But if you want to go out and do something, then simply do it. You will find a work-around. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, something important has passed but you are still reaping the benefits. Bask in the afterglow as much as you can because it can’t last forever. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY DO THE MATH. ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

God looked around his garden, And found an empty space. He then looked down upon this earth, And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest: Gods garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. He knew you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew you might never get well, upon this earth gain. He saw the road was getting rough, And hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids, And whispered, “Peace Be Thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you were never alone, For part of us went with you, The day god called you home. You will always be in our hearts Love Louie, Mandy, Mike & families
