Victim’s family shocked by arrests By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF
Barb Myers, mother of murder victim Tyler Myers, wasn’t optimistic the police would have any more news of her son’s killing nearly four years after his death. But a voicemail message on Nov. 5 changed all that. An RCMP officer called to let her know they had arrested a 20-year-old man
and 21-year-old woman and were charging them with first-degree murder. Tyler was shot dead and his body found on the grounds of Bastion Elementary on Nov. 22, 2008. While Barb was informed of the identities of the accused perpetrators, the pair were 16 and 17 years old at the time of the offence and, as such, their names and any information that could
identify them cannot be published under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. “It was a two-edged sword. I was so elated they had cracked the case, but finding out who they arrested, it was such a let-down. I am really shocked and disappointed,” Barb said in an interview from her home in Campbell River. Police confirm both ac-
Tyler Myers cused knew Tyler prior to the murders.
“We don’t believe this was a random murder. By virtue of the first-degree murder charge, we believe it was a planned and deliberate murder of Tyler Myers,” said RCMP major crimes Insp. Gary Shinkaruk at a press conference following the arrests. Investigators would not

comment on the relationship between Tyler and the two accused or a possible motive for the killing, saying those details will come out in court. Tyler’s sister Christina says she still has trouble believing who has been arrested. “I can’t even begin to explain how angry and hurt I feel knowing what I do now. It’s taking a long time to sink in.” Christina, who lives in Enderby, describes her relationship with her brother as very close. With a 14-year age difference between them, Christina says his death was “like the loss of a child and a best friend.” She describes how she would go on long drives with her brother, the music cranked up and enjoying the world passing by. “We’d go nowhere, but everywhere, and we loved those times together. That was something we used to do with our dad and then
we’d still do it. I miss that so much,” she says tearfully. “Now I have to drive on my own.” Christina says she remains emotionally devastated by the loss of her brother. “If I’m out and enjoying myself, I suddenly stop and feel bad because he’s not there. It’s like I’m betraying our bond to have fun without him. I miss him every second of every day. I may have a smile on my face, but I’m dying inside.” Both women are anxious to hear more of the facts surrounding Tyler’s death. “It’s a relief to get to this point, but now there’s more waiting – waiting to hear what information the police have and how the investigation went. I’m wearing a path in my carpet, walking back and forth wondering,” says Christina. Christina says she is grateful to police for their work in bringing the case to this point. “Some people just disappear and families never get answers, never get anything. At least I know now that some

I guess what keeps going through my mind is why, why? Why did they have to resort to murder?” she asks. “I don’t like to judge until I have all the facts. It’s in my mind that there’s two other young lives involved and my heart
also goes out to the mothers of those children and how this impacts them. It’s just so sad for so many.” Due to the timing between the arrests and the first court appearance, Barb was unable to travel from Vancouver Island to Salmon Arm to attend the first court appearance, but she intends to follow the judicial proceedings very closely. “I want to be there for Tyler... I do have many fond memories of Tyler and I’m so glad I’ve got those.”

SHUSWAP ‘Huggy Shirley’ promotes her town Hansma By Lachlan Labere
enters race
MARKET NEWS STAFF
The District of Sicamous might benefit from a slight addition to its official slogan: The Houseboat Capital of Canada and Home of Shirley Holcomb. This year’s Sicamous Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards saw the introduction of a new award, created specifically with Holcomb in mind: Visitor Ambassador 2012. Holcomb says she was invited to the event by her friend Terri Sinton, who she volunteers with at the arena. While she expected a fine meal and good company, Holcomb says the award was a complete surprise. “It blew my socks off,” says Holcomb. “I’ve done a lot of things in my life to kind of volunteer and help out, but I’ve never ever received anything. I shouldn’t say that because the hockey rink, for volunteering last winter, gave me a hockey jacket… But other than that, I’ve never received anything, so it was a total shock.” The award, however, wasn’t for Holcomb’s volunteer work at the arena, or with the Meals To Wheels program, or at the seniors centre, or anywhere else you can find her lending a hand. It was for an initiative that she began this spring to promote the community, which has since earned the sprightly 75-year-old the nickname “Huggy Shirley.” Essentially, when Holcomb saw a new face in the community she would stop them, hand them her card (with her name, a happy face and the request that visitors enjoy themselves in the community), welcome them and give them a hug. Although some were slightly taken aback by this approach, Holcomb says she never received a negative reply. “For a split second they’re kind of in shock, and then they

# Shirley Holcomb comes in for one of her well-known hugs. She was recently honoured by the Sicamous chamber for the warm hospitality she has shown to visitors to the community. hug you back,” says Holcomb. “So it’s amazing. I’ve met some wonderful people.” During the awards presentation for Holcomb, it was mentioned the chamber had received feedback from all over by visitors upon whom “Huggy Shirley” had left a positive impression. And it is exactly that result Holcomb is after in her mission to assure all who visit Sicamous know they’re welcome. “It’s been amazing, the response from the Albertans, because they said nobody had ever welcomed them before or even bothered them that much, and they were thrilled,” explains Holcomb. “It was making them feel they are important and not just a wallet coming into town.” In fact, it is, in part, a particular attitude towards Sicamous’ Albertan guests that prompted Holcomb to take on her ambassadorial duties. “This couple that said to me – when I was so excited when I had the cards first made – don’t give any of them out to those damned Albertans,” says Holcomb. “Well, I said you better hope those damned Al-
bertans come. When they’re not coming, we’re losing businesses. And when we lose a business, that tax has got to be going somewhere else, which goes on your home taxes. And you know what she said to me? ‘I’d rather pay the taxes.’ So there’s what I’m fighting.” Holcomb believes her fight was only made more necessary by this summer’s flooding events which, with the accompanying television news broadcasts, wound up keeping potential visitors away. “I think it’s fabulous,” says Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton about the work Holcomb has been doing to promote the community. “Shirley is always a bubbling personality and she says it how it is, and it’s nice to have her in our community. The more people we have out there being warm and welcoming, it’s better for Sicamous. That’s what we’re based on, that Sicamous is a great place to come to and people feel welcomed.” Holcomb admits to being a busybody. She says this stems, in part, from being raised on a farm in Alberta. She says her husband was killed when her
two kids were babies, and that she had to work two jobs to make ends meet. Later in life, she found employment with a plastics company, and then a neon lighting company which allowed her to be creative with her hands – something she enjoys. For a while she looked after an acreage for her daughter, who later sold the property and had Holcomb move to Sicamous to look after a trailer park. As work became too much, and a back fusion was required, Holcomb says she applied to move into the Haven, was accepted, and started volunteering right away. “I can’t stand not being busy. I can’t handle that,” she says. Though she is thrilled to have received the Visitor Ambassador award, Holcomb says she doesn’t feel she deserved it. “I’m just doing something I thought needed to be done – like, I’m not an owner of a business that they acknowledged or anything like that,” says Holcomb. “I feel like mine was pretty small. But I definitely was blown away…”
A veteran of local politics has set his sights on provincial office. Will Hansma, the former mayor of Spallumcheen, announced Tuesday, that he will pursue the Liberal nomination for the Shuswap constituency. “I look forward to bringing my experience to the table as an option for membership to choose from in the upcoming selection meeting for a candidate of the Shuswap riding in the beginning of January,” said Hansma, who owns the Okanagan Advertiser newspaper. Hansma was first elected as a Spallumcheen councillor in 1996. He then went on to serve more than four terms as mayor after winning a byelection in 1998. He decided not to seek re-election in the 2011 municipal vote. During his tenure as mayor, Hansma helped secure infrastructure funds from the province which led to improvements to Highway 97A from Swan Lake to Armstrong, and the new recreation facilities in Armstrong. “The Township of Spallumcheen is one of the largest municipalities in the province and Will Hansma has no debt, I’m very proud of that,” said Hansma. Married with four children and eight grandchildren, Hansma also operates a small farm and has been involved in agriculture all his life. Hansma was also a director with the Regional District of North Okanagan. “I believe that standing up for the farming community is vitally important,” said Hansma, who has also been a strong advocate for bringing business to the North OkanaganShuswap. The Liberals initiated a nomination process after MLA George Abbott decided not to seek re-election in May’s provincial election. Others seeking the Liberal nomination are Sicamous Coun. Greg Kyllo, former Salmon Arm mayor Marty Bootsma and Jordan Ross of Salmon Arm.

Friday, November 16, 2012 Shuswap Market News
OPINION Enderby youth deserve action Necessary upgrades to Enderby’s outdoor pool have been completed and approved, and that’s great news for the 2013 swimming season. However, the future of the children’s spray park in Barnes Park is still undetermined. The popular feature was shut down earlier this year after Interior Health Authority expressed concern that children could slip on the wet surface or fall off the water features. It was certainly an overreaction on the part of IHA as you can only minimize the risk of injury so much. But IHA’s edict stands and that means the spray park will remain closed unless something is done. With winter setting in and summer months away, now is the time for the City of Enderby and the Regional District of North Okanagan to not only consider their next steps, but to take action. Consultation with the public, and particularly the parents of young children, should be initiated immediately to determine what kind of spray facility they want and the best location in Barnes Park. Perhaps there could also be discussion with older youth to see if some features could be added that they would use. Now is also an ideal time to pursue the matter as municipalities are working on their 2013 budgets, as are senior levels of government and community groups that provide grants. Based on the recent process in Lumby for a spray park, it’s extremely unlikely that a new Enderby facility could be ready in time for next summer. However, if the ball doesn’t start rolling soon, how many summers will pass by? And that would be a shame for the children and negatively impact a community trying to attract young families to live there. -Vernon Morning Star

Book goes back to a simpler time I bumped into Chase resident and author Ron Fox the other day. Fox told me he will be having a book signing for his newest book, Coyote Gals and Hunting Pals, this Saturday, Nov. 17 at Bookingham Palace bookstore in Salmon Arm. I told him I would look forward to it. He gave me a copy to read. I’m glad he did. Coyote Gals and Hunting Pals, from Foxcroft Publishers, is part reminiscence and part memoir. It is the story of a group of adolescent friends growing up in the northern town of Telkwa, BC where being a kid offered endless adventures and some hard lessons. It is also a delight to read. “The mournful cry of a coyote resounded off the mountain wall and came echoing up the valley, easily heard by the two men sitting on the front steps of the cabin… one sawing away on his violin, and Buster, sucking absentmindedly on his long, cold pipe. “He cocked his head and
THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray muttered to his companion, ‘Listen you’ve picked up an audience.’ “Buster sat there with a smile on his face thinking far back in his past, back to his early days when he had his own coyote girls.” In chapter after chapter, the reader is swept along on adventure after misadventure, with Buster (who in fact is Fox), Nick, Rocky, along with two sisters and a girlfriend from town who would ultimately become known as the Coyote Girls. There are plenty of stories to make the reader smile, if not laugh out loud, as well as some more poignant stories about innocence lost and life’s les-
sons learned the hard way. Find out how the Coyote Girls got their name. Join the gang – the one with no girls allowed – as they get even with a passing train, and tag along with Buster and Nick as they strike it rich – with fool’s gold. Learn about the importance of paying your debts and about the value of friendships Coyote Gals and Hunting Pals tells of life during a simpler time – an idyllic, and yet in other ways, a much harder time. Fox writes in a straightforward style. Most readers will easily identify with both the adventures and misadventures in this book. I know I did. There is also a harsh reality to this book that one cannot escape. It is the poignancy, as well as the humour, that makes the people in the book so real to the reader. After reading the book, I phoned Fox and asked him what ever became of the Coyote Girls. He started out about telling me how he had lost contact with both the peo-
ple he knew growing up (in Telkwa), his childhood friends and the sisters, the Coyote Girls. “We drifted apart. I went away and was gone long enough to loose contact with everyone,” he said. “In time no one was left. There’s nothing really left of the old town now.” He paused for a bit and then said, “That was until I met two of the Coyote girls at a homecoming back in 2010. Brenda (whose real name is Maggie), and her sister Maxina (Barbara). We started talking and reminiscing and laughing, and before I knew it I was writing a new book.” Fox and the Coyote Girls still communicate. He told me that he got a good laugh one day after the book came out when Maggie told him that one of her granddaughters had said “Hey, Granny’s in a book.” The best thing about books like Coyote Gals and Hunting Pals is that people live on in stories, just as they live on in our memories.

Pension reform underway
FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes Your government in Ottawa is committed to keeping taxes low, returning to balanced budgets and respecting taxpayers’ dollars. Proof of this commitment is Bill C-46, introduced in Parliament last week. C-46 will amend MP, senator and public servant pensions(C-45). The changes will save taxpayers $2.6 billion over the next five years. We also eliminated severance payments that will save $500 million per year once fully implemented. One of the key policy changes in Bill C-46 that will save taxpayer dollars is the age at which MPs, senators and newly hired public servants will begin collecting their pensions.
Once passed this will increase to 65 years of age. By 2016, all MPs, senators and public servants will pay a 50 per cent contribution to their pension. Currently, public servants pay only 34 per cent into their pension premium and taxpayers pay 66 per cent. MP and senator pension contribution ratios are even more generous. The new calculation will see an increase in MP contributions from $11,000 per year to around $38,000 per year. Our Prime Minister has generously given up an even larger portion of his pension. Prime Ministers are paid the base rate received by all MPs, namely $157,000, plus another $157,000 for the prime ministerial position. The pension for prime ministers is calculated the same as MP pensions on the base amount. However, with the additional $157,000, the pension benefit is 60 per cent or $104,000 per year, plus the pension on the base
amount. This is changing so that the additional $157,000 will be reduced to around $47,000 or close to $60,000 less per year. The Prime Minister is going to make this change retroactively, so the savings will be $420,000 to taxpayers. I have had many complaints concerning pensions in the past; however it is our government that is actually making changes. Cabinet expenses are down 16 per cent over the last year and use of the government aircraft is down 30 per cent since the previous government was in office. My MP budget has a 30 per cent savings over the annual allocation. Our Harper government has moved Parliament from a place of “we are entitled to our entitlements” to one of “we are responsible to the taxpayers,” I am proud of this accomplishment. -Colin Mayes is the Member of Parliament for the OkanaganShuswap riding.

Trucking industry offers job opportunities Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 per cent of long-haul truck drivers fall into this age range). Similar shortages exist
for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the AsiaPacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the AsiaPacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged. Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing
systems. Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing. And, people joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck. If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites. Members of the BC Truck-
ing Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers onwww.bctrucking. com, and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC www. workbc.ca/Jobs/) and Working in Canada www.workingincanada.gc.ca/ - choose to Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region). Within your own community, it may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop off a resumé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring. Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout B.C. that offer programs. For information on transportation trades in B.C., including mechanics and other technicians, visit transCDA http:// www.tcda.ca/home). And for information on trucking careers in general, see www.truckingcareers.ca.

LOCATION AND DATE OF HEARING: The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. and will be held at the Silver Creek Community Hall, 3048 Hornsberger Rd., Silver Creek, BC. PURPOSE OF BYLAW NO. 2547: Development Services Staff is proposing text amendments to the Salmon Valley Land Use Bylaw No. 2500 that will define and regulate composting. New definitions for organic matter and organic matter composting facility will provide clarification and help staff provide advice to property owners and residents of Salmon Valley in regard to large-scale composting. Bylaw No. 2547 proposes the following definitions: “Organic Matter means materials that are suitable for composting, including: animal bedding; brewery/ winery waste; fish waste; food waste; hatchery waste; manure, milk processing waste; plant matter; poultry carcasses; red meat waste; untreated and unprocessed wood residuals; whey; and yard waste, unless excluded by Provincial or Federal enactments or orders that prohibit or restrict composting or composting methods.” “Organic Matter Composting Facility means a facility that imports organic matter and produces more than 20 m³ of compost product per year to be sold and/or utilized off-site or off-farm.”

Crashes attributed to winter weather RCMP REPORT Salmon Arm RCMP were busy and responded to a total of 52 calls for service over the Remembrance Day long weekend. The poor weather in particular contributed to several motor vehicle crashes throughout Salmon Arm and surrounding areas. On Nov. 10, at approximately 1 a.m., Salmon Arm RCMP received a call of an overdue traveller. The caller reported his girlfriend had been driving on White Lake Road but had failed to return home that evening. The caller had travelled the road prior to calling police, but was unable to locate his girlfriend. Salmon Arm RCMP were able to trace the girlfriend’s cellphone to the Chase area where Chase RCMP were able to follow up with some of her acquaintances and ensure her safety and well being. She was located a short time later unharmed and in good health. On Nov. 11 at approximately 11:30 p.m., RCMP were notified of a single vehicle crash on Highway 1 in Blind Bay. Investigating officers found that a semi truck and trailer had lost control on the snowcovered highway and driven into the ditch. The driver received non-life threatening injuries and was transported to hospital in Salmon Arm. At approximately 7:30 a.m. on Nov. 12, police were notified of a single vehicle crash on Auto Road in Salmon Arm. Police found the driver had lost control of his vehicle on the slippery, snow-covered road, resulting in the vehicle going into a skid and eventually flipping onto its roof in the middle of the roadway. No injuries were received. Police closed Auto Road for a period of two hours due to the slippery and dangerous road conditions at the time. Also on Nov. 12, at approximately noon, Salmon Arm RCMP were notified of a single vehicle crash on Black Road. Investigation determined that the driver had lost control on the snow-covered roadway and driven into the ditch. No injuries were received. Police issued violation tickets to the driver who was found to have no driver’s licence and the vehicle was uninsured.

The Shuswap Trail Alliance is working with the BC Wildlife Federation and others to remind everyone using wilderness trails through Crown land to stay safe during hunting season. The peak season continues through to December. Wear highly visable clothing, keep to main trails, make noise when approaching a curve or uphill climb, avoid animal carcasses and be bear aware. When discharging a firearm, hunters use the same rules that apply to maintained forestry roads – shoot away from the trail, not down or across trails, and remove all carcass parts from the immediate vicinity of any publicly used trail.
Shuswap Trail Alliance needs your feedback. Take a walk or ride at the South Canoe Trail system and then leave your comments in the trailhead register box. Final edits will be made next week, ready for installation, as the new trail upgrades are completed in November. Upgrades to the lower trail system are made possible through the City of Salmon Arm’s Greenways program, in partnership with the Shuswap Trail Alliance and local trail stewards. Watch for trail work crews and rerouting signage throughout November. For more information, or to add your name to the trail stewardship contact list, email trailreport@ shuswaptrails.com, or call 250-832-0102.
Test trail signs Test trail signage is still up on the lower South Canoe trails. The
Trail planning Send comments on recreational trails and
routes that you consider a priority for improved access management throughout the Shuswap watershed – and tell the Trail Alliance why (e.g. ecological impacts, First Nations interests, multiuse coordination, tenure questions, social conflicts, new opportunities, etc) to trailreport@shuswaptrails. com. The Shuswap Recreational Access and Trail Management Planning process will include an inventory of existing and proposed recreational trails, an environmental audit of those systems, First Nations reviews, community participation to establish management priorities and the creation of a Shuswap Trails Protocol to give direction to future planning and management. To get involved, call 250-832-0102.

Supporting literacy ATTENTION CHASE AND AREA Haldane’s Parent Advisory Council is enlisting the help of the community to support literacy throughout the school. The annual Scholastic book fair will be taking place Nov. 20 to 22 and the parent advisory committee would like to extend an invitation to all aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, family friends and even neighbours to come and check out this year’s inventory. Books for all reading abilities and grade levels will be available at the event as well as activity sets, posters, and much more. The book fair provides a chance to get some early Christmas shopping done while, at the same time, helping out the school. For every $10 that is spent at the book fair, up to $6 will be donated directly to the Haldane library. The school’s students are able to use the library free of charge on a regular ba-
sis, with many classes making weekly trips. All students will be given a chance to view the books and create a wish list to pass along to parents for potential Christmas gift ideas. Haldane prides itself in providing a wide selection of books for the whole family, and continues to do so thanks, in large part, to community support.
“Our library and classroom libraries are very valuable to our school because literacy is a big focus here and we do as much as we can to incorporate it. With that being said, everyone is welcome to come out and shop at this event and help us reach our goal of $5,000 for our librar-

Spirited team of last weekend absent Welcome Brandon! By Scott Koch CONTRIBUTOR
Sand traps, speed bumps and snoozes. What do those three things have in common? They all impede progress. After the previous weekend of two big wins to boost the spirits of the hockey club faithful, the local Heat served up cold leftovers of previous weeks’ ineffective play. The highly spirited team of the past weekend came out on Thursday the 8th against the Kelowna Chiefs and played like they hadn’t woken up from an afternoon nap. The Chiefs took a 7 – 2 victory back to the Little Apple while our boys caught up on some sleep. Jacob Mattes faced 51 shots between the pipes and should have sued for abandonment. Connor Venne got one in the first assisted by Kurtis Johnson and in the second feisty Taylor Jordan got one as-
sisted by Venne and Wade Cline. On Friday night the locals bussed to Armstrong to face the division-leading Knights. North Okanagan scored four goals in the first two frames to take a 4 – 0 lead into the third period. Mattes came on in relief of Devon Pearson halfway through the contest. Both young men should be looking for legal aid. Apparently Coach Fox blistered the paint off the dressing room
walls as our boys woke up long enough to pot a pair of goals. The first from Shelby Kostyshen from Johnson and Venne. The second from Venne assisted by Aiden Silzer-Hooker and Kostyshen. The Knights ended scoring with an empty netter and a 5 – 2 victory. The injury bug has hit the team as a number of regulars watched both games from the stands. However, good teams play through adversity and one period of de-

Fire departments to merge By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF
Directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board gave three readings to the Area F North Shuswap Sub-Regional Fire Services Merger bylaw at the Oct. 18 board meeting in Salmon Arm. In a memo to the board, Darcy Mooney, deputy manager of Environment & Engineering Services, explained that merging the three fire service areas of Celista, Anglemont and Scotch Creek will provide significant benefits, including: accelerated capital reserves, greater co-operation among fire chiefs, standardization of equipment, bulk purchasing as well as closer and more consistent training.
Having asked staff to investigate the costs to merge the three departments, Area F director Larry Morgan then expressed concern about costs to taxpayers. In response to those concerns, staff adjusted

Diets high in refined sugar, frequent antibiotic use, and everyday stress can disrupt this healthy balance of “friendly” versus “bad” bacteria, leaving one more vulnerable to sickness. You can help restore healthy digestive flora by eating foods that naturally contain good bacteria and/or by taking a probiotic supplement. Probiotics can be found naturally in fermented foods such as yogurt, buttermilk, miso, tempeh, and fresh sauerkraut. Vitamin D is also thought to play an important role in strengthening the immune system. Health Canada recommends 200-600 IU per day depending on age. Some other national health organizations recommend higher doses. For instance the Canadian Cancer Society recommends

A strong immune system is the body’s best defence against colds and flu. Good nutrition is key to building your body’s defences. Help fight common bugs by filling your diet with healthy foods. Load up on fruits and vegetables. They contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which will build up your immune system to help fight off illness. Choose brightly coloured or dark green fruits and veggies for the most antioxidants. Aim for seven to eight servings per day. One serving equals one small to medium sized piece of fruit or vegetable or half a cup of chopped. Digestive health plays an important role in preventing sickness.

Talk to your health care provider to learn if you are getting enough Vitamin D. Of course nutrition is only part of the solution. Exercise is also a powerful way to bolster your immune system. Among the many benefits of exercise is stress reduction. Stress takes a significant toll on our immune system so it’s important to take time for yourself.

ANDERSON, LLOYD ALBERT Lloyd Albert Anderson, 73, died peacefully November 5, 2012 at Brookhaven Care Facility in West Kelowna. Lloyd was born February 2, 1939 in Camrose, Alberta to James and Helen Anderson. Lloyd graduated high school in Bawlf, and went on to complete a Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Alberta. He married Lona Lindroth in 1962, and pursued a career in Engineering in the Okanagan Valley where they raised two sons, Kenneth and Douglas. While in Summerland, Lloyd was very active in the Rotary Club, local community groups and a member of the school board. In 1985, Lloyd completed his Master’s degree in Urban Land Development at the University of British Columbia and went on to work on the Expo 86 project in Vancouver. His love of travel led him into a career building expo pavilions in the US, Spain and his favorite, Australia where he spent much of the latter part of his life. Lloyd was an avid sailor, traveler, runner and pilot who enjoyed life to fullest. He is survived by his son Kenneth and sister Gail Baker. He is predeceased by his son Doug and his brothers, Donald and William. A memorial service will be held Friday, November 16, 2012, 1:00 pm at the Springfield Funeral Home at 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC.

The forest industry in this community has a proud history and a prosperous future Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd. is pleased to announce its acquisition of Federated Co-operatives Limited’s (FCL) forest product assets at Canoe. The sale includes FCL’s plywood plant, sawmill and the log harvesting and forestry operations within the Okanagan Timber Supply Area surrounding Shuswap Lake.
Nick Arkle, Chief Forester from Gorman Bros., Ross Gorman, Co-founder of Gorman Bros. and Darrell Embley, Vice-President of Forest Products from FCL.
“On behalf of Federated Co-operatives Limited, I would like to thank our Forest Product Division employees and the community for 67 years of faithful service and support. The transfer of ownership to Gorman Bros. will continue the co-operative tradition and positive business values on which both companies were formed.” – Scott Banda, CEO, Federated Co-operatives Limited
“Gorman Bros. Lumber is delighted to expand our family of companies and thank FCL for the opportunity to continue the co-operative tradition of the Forest Products Division. We look forward to the ongoing support of our new employees and the community in creating an exciting future together.” – Ron Gorman, CEO, Gorman Bros. Lumber Ltd.
With the additional availability of the high quality fibre from the newly named Canoe Forest Products, Gorman Bros. Lumber will be able to complement its existing operations with another value added product (Canoe brand plywood) while ensuring the maximum value is obtained from the combined timber supply. Gorman Bros. Lumber family of companies operate lumber production facilities in Westbank and Revelstoke, a pole division in Lumby, B.C., and a reman and reload operation in Oroville, WA.
