Infighting clouds water project
SLIPP: Directors disagree on the future direction of Shuswap watershed management activities. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
SLIPP could be disappearing beneath the waves of controversy. The three-year Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process pilot project will end on March 31, 2014. The majority of the members of the SLIPP steering committee agreed to move ahead with water-quality monitoring and a lake safety program for the entire Shuswap Watershed. But Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area F North
Shuswap director Larry Morgan is vehement in his opposition – as is the president of the North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce Dave Cunliffe. It is this opposition that frustrates Mike Simpson, senior regional manager for the Fraser Basin Council Thompson Region and SLIPP program manager, who says there is general consensus for a watershed-based program with a more limited focus. Mirroring the opinions of the North Shuswap Chamber, Morgan, in a telephone conversation
Friday, accused the steering committee of ignoring opposition. “This is being rammed down our throats. We have had numerous steering committee and board meetings where the opposition has been raised,” Morgan said. “It’s like nothing has been listened to and the agenda just keeps getting pushed forward.” Morgan is also incensed with how SLIPP proponents wish to proceed and maintains waterquality monitoring should be a regional district responsibility. “They want to spend $290,000

of gas tax money in 2014 from April 1 to Dec. 31 – $75,000 of it on water quality testing and the rest for meetings, public education and so forth, leading to a decision for a five-year program,” he says. “Included in that is water quality remediation measures, talking about assuming control for water drainage issues along highway rights-of-way, which is the responsibility of MOTI (Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure). That’s just an example of the agenda creep that’s in their docu-
ment for the plans for 2015 on.” Morgan stepped down as steering committee chair in May because he didn’t want “to continue to be drawn into an increasingly divisive debate over the direction of SLIPP.” At that time, he agreed he was prepared to work with the steering committee but wanted the terms of reference to be more narrow and more affordable. Simpson, meanwhile, says there has been, and continues to See Water on page A2

Water quality tops priorities Continued from front be, a lot of misinformation about SLIPP and plans for the future. This is something SLIPP proponents have tried to address with news releases and directing people to the SLIPP website in order to provide “a more accurate reflection” of what SLIPP is doing and its mandate. “We like to give people the benefit of the doubt and hopefully they look at multiple sources...” Simpson says the steering committee is getting an assessment of what worked well under SLIPP and what members didn’t like in order to create a new water-quality program. “The committee is working in good faith to come to agreement on something they can support going forward… This doesn’t help having it out in the public when we haven’t even agreed on a document.” The steering committee is comprised of 14 people: local government – CSRD Area C South Shuswap; Area D Falkland/ Silver Creek; Area E Rural Sicamous; two each from the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and Regional District of the North Okanagan; a public advisory committee rep; two representatives from the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council; a
technical person from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper and Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton. Area C director and steering committee chair Paul Demenok says, in June, committee members gave unanimous approval for a new program with a primary focus on water quality and support for education around water-based activities as a secondary objec-

tive. Terms of reference for the new program, tentatively named the Shuswap Watershed Water Quality Program, were considered at September and October meetings. “The new program will be very different from SLIPP,” Demenok says, noting the program would encompass the entire Shuswap watershed. “It will not include any foreshore restoration or recreation management objectives.” Demenok points out
that, for the first time, there will be a water quality remediation program, something he calls “a natural transition from water-quality monitoring.” “Why would you do that (monitoring) if you weren’t planning to do something with the results?” he asks. “We envision 2014 as a developmental planning year where we continue the monitoring, evaluate remediation programs and obtain expert advice on that.” As well, Demenok says the committee would develop a safety education program, conduct an extensive public engagement program and address the questions that remain about governance, partners and funding. “That plan will be given to governments and First Nations for approval,” he says. Area E director Rhona Martin supports the new program and says she believes others around the table are also supportive. “How can you not support water-quality monitoring and any type of safety and education awareness?” she asks, noting the valuable data that many volunteers have collected. “We need good science and that’s what this is giving us.” Martin says that science will prove or disprove some of the finger-pointing that has

taken place over the years about what has impacted the health of the lake. “We won’t really know much until we do our budget processes where the funding is going to come from,” she says, recalling SLIPP’s creation following a 2005 houseboat trip during which politicians and others saw several causes for concern around Shuswap Lake. “We do have increasing pressures and damage and we need to be looking at all that. We invite people to come here; we want them to have good drinking water and we want them to be safe. What more can you say?”

Walmart preps for Friday opening By Tracy Hughes
• 100,000 sq. ft store, with 90,000 sq. ft. devoted to the sales floor
OBSERVER STAFF
Like their morning chant says, the employees of Salmon Arm’s Walmart store are all fired up and ready to go. With the store just two days away from its Friday 8 a.m. opening, employees are working full tilt to stock shelves, create displays and price merchandise for the city’s largest retail outlet. Store manager Lorrie Blackmore gave the Observer a sneak peek into the world of Walmart, from the morning meeting where staff celebrated their accident-free status, to the reminder to provide excellent customer service by making eye contact and smiling at every person within three metres. “Everyone is so excited and proud to show off their hard work,” says Blackmore. “The staff have really taken ownership of this store. It’s exciting to watch everyone grow and learn and become a team. There’s so much enthusiasm.” The store features a complete range of groceries, including a produce section and a large counter for pre-made meals like salads, breads and hot chickens. Departments include clothing, housewares, toys, automotive, electronics, sporting goods and more. There is a full-service pharmacy and a medical clinic, which has its own entrance and separate operating hours. There will be an opening ceremony at 7 a.m. with a ribbon cutting and donations to local charities before the doors open to the public. As the preparations reach a fever pitch, employees will be logging plenty of hours. “We’re still missing some things, but come 8 a.m. Friday, it’s go-time,” says Blackmore.

Rough road: The city will keep the west access to Canoe Beach Drive closed until recent slippage is repaired. Afterwards, the east access will be permanently closed.
Beach access facing closure By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
Ongoing slippage along Canoe Beach Drive has forced the city to move towards permanent closure of the road’s eastern access. In a report to city council, engineering and public works director Rob Niewenhuizen suggests that the access to the west of Canoe Beach Drive, coming
from Raven, remain closed to allow a temporary fix, estimated at $45,000, to recent slippage at that end. After the work is complete, the Canoe Beach access to the road would be closed indefinitely to all traffic, including pedestrian, as a more substantial fix is designed for the west end. “The sooner we can work on the more westerly section the better,” said Niewenhuizen,
providing council with rough costs estimates to completely repair the trouble areas along the road: $1.3million for a 650-metre portion to the west, and $2.1 million for a 1,070-metre section to the east. Niewenhuizen noted residents who would be most affected by any closure preferred to keep the west access open. “We have had some conversations with the
residents in the Captain’s Cove area, and they’ve indicated their preference would definitely be the more westerly route,” he said. Niewenhuizen said the road is currently being monitored daily and that lessens liability to the city. “Unfortunately, if it gets worse, we could be in a scenario where both roads have to be closed, so there would be no access to that area.”

Council OKs creation of coach house bylaws By Lachlan Labere OBSERVER STAFF
The City of Salmon Arm is moving closer to the day when coach houses will be an accepted affordable housing option. At their Monday meeting, city council approved for the preparation of bylaws to amend the official community plan and zoning to allow coach houses, or detached suites, within the city’s urban containment boundary. In the proposed zoning amendment, a detached suite is defined as a dwelling unit with a maximum floor area of 968.9 square feet, and would be an accessory unit to an existing single-family dwelling. This will not include a mobile or manufactured home, recreational vehicle or storage container. Detached suites must meet BC Building Code requirements, be accessible by a cleared and constructed pathway from the offstreet park-
ing stalls to the building entrance and be appropriately serviced. Detached suites could only be built on properties rezoned to the proposed R8 - Single Family/Secondary Suite Residential Zone, and subdivision of a detached suite will not be allowed. Furthermore, single-family residences can have a conventional secondary suite or a detached suite, but not both. Coun. Chad Eliason, a longtime advocate of coach houses, noted the opportunity to build detached suites would provide not only an affordable housing option, but could potentially benefit “empty nesters” not yet ready to leave their property. “We’re not only providing affordable housing for maybe a new family or new couple, but also for the retiring baby boomers who maybe want to stay on their property… so I’m happy to see this brought forward,” said Eliason.
Coun Alan Harrison said it is important the public know these new bylaws would only apply to the urban containment boundary. He also commented that his
Chad Eliason City CounCillor support for any applications to build a detached suite would depend on input from neighbours. “If variances come forward, I follow what I’ve always followed, if it doesn’t impact neighbours… I won’t be supportive if the neighbours don’t want the variances,” said Harrison. Development services director Kevin Pearson explained development cost charges
would be collected on the development of detached suites, which would be around $6,200 per unit, two-thirds the rate for single-family dwellings. Regarding utilities, home owners with a detached suite can expect to be charged an additional annual fee of $237. As for the curbside garbage program, staff is currently considering bag tags to cover the additional waste. Coun. Debbie Cannon asked what options might be available for single-family dwellings owners in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Pearson said he’d heard that in most cases, applications to the Agricultural Land Commision for the construction of non-farm use coach houses are turned down. He suggested the city see if the commission might accept a policy to support coach houses. Coun. Marg Kentel suggested council pursue this, but after the bylaws are passed for the urban containment area.

OpiniOn
for what it’S worth
Tracy Hughes
A future for fireworks? Now I know for some Halloween may be a fading memory, but I can’t let it pass by without some mentions of appreciation. Halloween in Salmon Arm makes me appreciate all the best things about living in a small town. The Downtown Treat Trail is such a wonderful show of community spirit – the merchants who go out of their way to purchase candy, the SilverBacks and volunteers who marshall the street crossings, the employers who let their workers go early so they can bring their children downtown. This year, it would have been difficult to ask for a more perfect setting. The sun streamed down on the leaf-strewn streets, and the air was clear and fresh. While in some years gloves coats and hats are the norm, this year’s dispensing of ice cream by the Pink Cherry created long lines of excited children eager to lick their frozen treat. While I often moan about the junk-food overload, I can’t deny the pleasure the kids get from running from place to place, bags in hand collecting their goodies. And I’m sure I’m not the only adult who gets a whole lot of joy from checking out all the costumes, maybe even dressing up ourselves, and reminiscing about our own days of Halloween roaming. As much as the candy, my children adore the chance to roam the closed-off downtown streets. There’s the cachet of rulebreaking as on this day, you are allowed to break the sidewalk rule and frolic in the middle of the pavement, which is usually the forbidden domain for cars alone. Special mention needs to go to the Shuswap Children’s Association, which hands out an enormous stash of books for all ages and reading levels. This is a Halloween treat that nourishes brains and lasts long after the sugar rush has worn off. I’ve heard some rumblings about bringing back a former Salmon Arm Halloween tradition, a community bonfire, hot chocolate and fireworks celebration, which used to be hosted by the Kinsmen Club. Locally, the Kinsmen disbanded and the event was relegated to the history books. However, it seems like a good idea to revive. Fireworks have often been controversial in this community when it comes to the Canada Day tradition. The most recent debate centred around the explosive blasts being set off on the waterfront, where lovers of the bird sanctuary felt the noise and commotions could be detrimental to the avian population. But fireworks on Halloween? No such issue. The vast majority of birds have migrated and those who remain are unlikely to have any amorous inclinations or chick-rearing responsibilities. Blackburn Park, with its lovely renovations and spacious public washrooms, would be an ideal location for such a gathering, something that the seniors living in the area could also enjoy. It’s dark early enough that any event wouldn’t need to be late. It would be nice to see another small-town Salmon Arm tradition return.

Editorial
No appetite for grocery store liquor British Columbians appear to be eager to pick up some beer with their bread and milk. The B.C. government recently released preliminary results of a liquor policy review that showed 80 per cent of liquor review respondents citing access to alcohol in grocery stores as a top priority. The public input on this issue has been one of the most responsive ever conducted in the province, with more than 76,000 visits to the website and 4,300 comments. Grocery store sales are already permitted across the border and in Quebec, familiarizing many consumers with the convenience of one-stop shopping. That being said, a significant shift in government policy was made in 2009 when B.C. joined its Alberta neighbours and introduced private liquor stores into what had previously been
the exclusive domain of the province. With the introduction of these private liquor model, places like Salmon Arm have seen a huge increase in the number of locations to obtain liquor. Does Salmon Arm really need additional places to buy booze? There are liquor outlets uptown, downtown, east, west and at every mall. It’s doubtful that anyone would have to walk more than a few blocks from any retail business in town to purchase liquor. It seems adding liquor departments to grocery stores will offer a minimal increase in convenience to the consumer and would simply result in a musical-chairs style relocation of the current liquor outlets. And who really benefits from that?

The Observer asked: How do you feel about the opening of Walmart this Friday?
Jo Woolliams “It should help keep people shopping locally as well as create employment for locals.”
Cultural mystery
Kay Griffiths “It will be a positive thing for the community by helping to keep shoppers in town.”
I continue to marvel at Salmon Arm’s abundance of cultural events. How many times have you heard, “There’s just so much going on that I don’t know how I’ll choose?” Attendance fluctuates drastically from event to event, however, and I want to know why. The chairs are rarely full at Okanagan Regional Library author readings. Recently, the talented mystery writer Glynis Whiting read from, A Nose for Death, a well-publicized event. Admission was free with homemade refreshments. Only six of us attended on a fair weekday afternoon, but there must be thousands of Salmon Arm retirees who devour mystery and crime stories. Ms Whiting’s well-researched, unique plot angle – using the sense of smell to solve mysteries – has resulted in her publisher’s request for a series, a rare invitation for writers these days. The venue, the Mall at Piccadilly, is convenient and transportation effortless. Yesterday (Sunday, Oct. 27), I enjoyed two well-attended events. The first was “A Celebration of Nature” at the Arts Centre, co-partnered by the Shuswap Naturalists Society and Shuswap Association of Writers. It featured three talented B.C. artists – two writers and a photographer. The majority of the standing-room-only audience were retirees. Homemade refreshments were served at this pay-bydonation event. The second was Spooktacular at Haney Heritage Village. Attendance was impressive – babes in arms to seniors like me. During storytelling at the church, I read to three substantial, multi-aged audiences. Attendance required private transportation and paying for admission and refreshments. Why overflowing crowds at yesterday’s events and such light turnouts at ORL author readings and some local choral concerts? With all the emphasis on keeping our brains thriving, we can’t afford to lose this valuable resource. Judith Benson
Manley Freedlund “If I can buy a pair of jeans for $20 instead of $60 I will. It’s that simple.”
Ruth Pearce “We’re excited to finally have somewhere to buy kids’ clothing at reasonable prices.”
Sharon Fitzsimonds “Walmart will certainly be good for younger families with children, as well as those people who can’t get out of town to shop.”
Mixed messages on cannabis use Re Tom Fletcher column regarding Sensible BC: I, like Tom Fletcher, having been calling for the legalization and regulation of marijuana for years, but who is listening? With mixed messages from Ottawa concerning mandatory minimum sentences and free enterprise marijuana grow-ops, it is clear the feds are uncertain as to what direction Canada is heading in with marijuana reform. Mr. Fletcher argues that because Sensible BC’s Initiative to decriminalize marijuana does not address the underpinning criminal and economic activity associated, it should not be encouraged at all. For good measure he gratuitously cites the horrific Surrey Six slayings. Fletcher, however, is deluded if
he believes, as he states in his article, that the Sensible BC Initiative to decriminalize marijuana “...would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier.” Dana Larsen’s Sensible BC initiative will see an amendment to the Provincial Police Act instructing police not to spend any time, money or resources on cases of simple possession of cannabis. The savings to taxpayers and easing of the justice system would be hugely beneficial to the time and resources of the RCMP Integrated Crime units. Not to mention young people would not have their lives ruined over simple possession. It is absurd in days such as these; our elected leaders in office admit to past
experience with marijuana, and that their lives would have been much different if they were charged with possession. Many polls indicate public opinion is in support of marijuana reform. Whether it be legalization, regulation, medicinal, or decriminalization of marijuana, there is interest. Sensible BC will allow all British Columbians to have a say on the direction our province would like to take in regards to marijuana reform and send a clear signal to Ottawa that we aren’t going to wait for them.

Patient thankful for local health-care service We are so fortunate to have amazing health care staff and facilities available to us here in Salmon Arm. Recently I urgently needed to see my personal physician. Over the course of that same day, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and without any prior appointments, I was able to see my doctor, have a CT scan done at our hospital and receive the re-
sults. Incredible. And this was actually the second time I have experienced this – the first time around also involved an ultrasound. While none of us want to think we could have an illness that would warrant this kind of same-day service, I am truly grateful that it is available to us when it is needed. I would like to thank all those in-
dividuals involved in providing our health care, in particular Dr. Joan Bratty, along with the Shuswap Hospital Foundation (and donors) for the vital role they play in the provision of our CT scanner and many other pieces of critical equipment. Thank you. Clare Frew
Wood burning as toxic as second-hand smoke Inhaling wood smoke – a danger to one’s health? Many people think it’s a non-issue since most of us have been exposed to it one time or another, and yet haven’t actually died from it, at least not directly; besides wood smoke and humans have coexisted since the beginning of time, and likely are to continue till end of time. Does this mean that wood smoke is safe? Wood smoke is definitely not safe according to research studies conducted by UBC and the State of Washington Department of Ecology. In spite of the revealing facts, our government officials are reluctant to amend the law to protect the public from exposure
to wood smoke. Furthermore, our government and health officials are not likely to make their own decisions without public assent. This means; ‘no public input – no government output.’ Public input is crucial for any government to succeed in making correct decisions; therefore, we the public need to be diligent and well-informed on all aspects of government activities. We can not afford to be passive or noncommittal if we are to be responsible for our future and future generations to come. Here are some of the facts relating to wood smoke: wood smoke contains many of the same toxic substances as second-
hand smoke does, and more. Particulars are: carcinogens – which are capable of causing cancer, mutagens – which can cause biological mutation, and teratogens – the substances that can cause birth defects. Any one of these can alter body cells without one’s awareness, and although they are microscopic in size, they can aggregate in numbers, and therefore can easily breach the body’s defensive barriers. The end result can be devastating. So, inhaling wood smoke – a danger to one’s health? You decide. M. Oishi

FROM THE
Archives
1913
The Social Services Commission of Victoria wrote city council stating that it had found many mothers in the city had to leave their children and go out to work. They wished information regarding this situation here. The council did not know of any such cases in Salmon Arm.
1923
A ways and means committee of the sports council was appointed to draw up a constitution and bylaws to govern an athletic association. A number of points were reported to city council. The first said the name of the organization shall be Salmon Arm Amateur Athletic Association. Mrs. Pangman and Mrs. Howard convened the Anglican Church bazaar, which earned $324 for the St. John’s Annex building fund.
1933
A number of elks were shipped to the Adams Lake district. Farmers were asked to supply hay to get them off to a good start. School trustees were notified by the department of education that Christmas holidays would commence Dec. 21 and end Jan. 8.
1943
An open letter from R.J. Skelton, chairman of the War Finance Committee and M.M. Damgaard, chairman of the Citizens’ Committee, thanked all subscribers to the fifth victory loan. Total subscriptions from Chase to Sicamous, amounted to $194,850.
1953
Construction of a concrete sidewalk around the cenotaph was completed by the Salmon Arm branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. All the trees surrounding the property were first removed. The work was done by volunteers under the supervision of Wilfred Calvert. It was learned that a low-power relay radio transmitter would be installed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Honouring those whose sacrifice bought freedom By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
Every year, Canadians remember the country’s veterans, who have served in two World Wars, the Korean War and, more recently, the War in Afghanistan. While 2013 is the “Year of the Korean Veteran,” Branch #69 Legion member, Canadian Forces veteran and local historian Harry Welton, says Canadians should remember veterans and their service to the country every day – including those who have died during peacekeeping missions. “In Canada, we have many ways to remember fallen service personnel – the National War Memorial in Ottawa, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Books of Remembrance that lie in the memorial chamber in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill,” he says. “They list all Canadians who have lost their lives while serving their country outside Canada that can also be viewed online.” The Royal Canadian Legion introduced another way to honour veterans and bridge the gap between civilian and veteran communities three years ago in a program called “Veterans Among Us.” On Nov. 1 and 30, Canadian Forces and RCMP veterans are encouraged to wear their medals, insignia and badges to indicate their service as they go about their day. As one in 35 Canadians is a veteran of the Forces or the RCMP, the program gives veterans the opportunity to celebrate their service with pride, and gives Canadians the chance to notice the almost one million veterans among us, to show appreciation and learn more about the men and women who have served and continue to serve the country.
Welton says every town and village in Canada has some type of cenotaph or memorial. It had taken from the end of the war in 1918 until 1922 to get the funding to build and agree on the names to be engraved on the local cenotaph, he says. The Salmon Arm Cenotaph was originally dedicated Aug. 22, 1922 under the command of Brig.-Gen. Edward Hilliam of Scotch Creek and Sgt. Arthur Ritchie of Salmon Arm. Ritchie was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, which was the second highest award for gallantry in action in the British Empire at the time. He later served in the Second World War as a captain with the Forestry Corps. Following his active service, Ritchie participated in local Remembrance Day Parades and acted as parade marshall in fall fair parades for more than 60 years, says Welton. Forty-four names were originally engraved on the local cenotaph, dedicated to those who sacrificed their lives in the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Another 18 were added following the Second World War. “No more names have been added up till this time – thankfully there have been no (local) casualties since,” says Welton. “The last time the local cenotaph was upgraded was in 2007 when brass plates were added.” Welton joined the Army as a member of the royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and served in Gagetown, N.B., Germany, Ottawa and as an instructor at the Low Level Air Defence School in Chatham, N.B. before going to Air Command Headquarters and Base Maintenance in Winnipeg.

Reflection: Harry Welton pays his respects at the local cenotaph that was dedicated in 1922. During his career, Welton took many courses at several Canadian bases, in the United Kingdom and others in Texas, Zurich and the Canadian Forces School. Welton was commissioned from the ranks and retired as production officer. Following his retirement from the Regular Forces, Welton followed his wife, Sandra, on her postings and joined Air Reserve, serving as the public affairs and communications officer at the Aerospace Telecommunications Engineering Support Squadron in Trenton, Ont. A member of the legion for 42 years and past-president of the local branch, Welton is chair of the Okanagan Zone of the Army Cadet League of Canada. He has researched the history behind the names on the cenotaph. His love of history has led him to become a member of the Salmon Arm Heritage Commission. And Welton is willing to help anyone with an interest in finding history on their own parents or grandparents. He can be reached by leaving a message at the legion office at 250-832-3687.

Search suspended for Calgary man By lachlan labere OBSERVER STAFF
Police have officially suspended the search for a Calgary man who went missing in Shuswap Lake in August. Last week, Sicamous Sgt. Dave Dubnyk announced the RCMP have called off the search and recovery effort for 25-year-old Kevin Boutilier. He says the search spanned two months and involved three search and rescue groups and members from three RCMP detachments. “The search and recovery efforts have included searching water and shorelines, with RCMP helicopters, and side scanning sonar equipment,” said Dubnyk. “SAR and RCMP search teams
completed several days of searches in the area; however, in spite of tireless efforts by all search parties, Mr. Boutilier’s body has not been recovered.
Kevin Boutilier Presumed drowned “Police continue to work with the Boutilier family through this difficult time.” Boutilier was last seen on Saturday, Aug. 14. At 4:15 p.m., the Sicamous detachment
received a report of a possible drowning in Cinnemousun Narrows. Police learned that a group of people were on a rented houseboat when a hat blew off one of the occupant’s heads and into the water. Some of the people onboard dove in to retrieve the hat. At the time, the weather was turning stormy with rough water. Boutilier was last seen in distress, going under the surface several times before failing to resurface. The other people in the water made it back to the boat. Boutilier was wearing a pair of red shorts. Dubnyk says he is currently classified as a missing person and presumed drowned.

Province to review winter tire rules By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
Some “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 provincial review of highway safety that includes speed limits. “It’s been almost 40 years since the current definition of a winter tire was actually changed, and tire technology has advanced dramatically, particularly over the last five to 10 years,” Stone said Tuesday. With the popularity of all-season tires and all-wheel-drive vehi-
cles, Stone said there is some confusion about what is acceptable for requirements 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 sidewall. 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 downward 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.

We should eat more alkaline food. We all know that swimming pools can only work if they are acidic/alkaline neutral. This is still more critical for our body. Basic information to have an alkaline body: USDA now recommended on their website. MY plate.gov 50% should be alkaline food (vegetables, salads, legumes, fruit, berries, mushrooms) 50% can be acidic food (Meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, rice, nuts, cheese. Less or no bread, noodles, cereals, cakes. No sweets, deep frieds.) Most North American diet is 90% acidic food. If you have trouble to achieve at least a 50% in alkaline food and 50% acidic food, consider to take a supplement like Bell Acidic #39 Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive and comes with a guarantee. It helps to have a healthy alkaline balanced body and prevents many discomforts, including indigestion and stomach acid reflux coming up, which a majority of people suffer with. 60 million in North America. We should not ignore that Dr. Otto Warburg M.D. was awarded 2 Nobel Prizes for proving that an alkaline balanced body can absorb up to 20 times more oxygen than an acidic body. Makes our immune system more effective to fight disease-producing bacteria including cancer cells we have in our body every day of our life. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA < Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

Buses a boost for schools Through its annual fleet renewal program, the provincial government is providing the North Okanagan/ Shuswap School District with more than $656,000 for the purchase of six new school buses. Each bus can transport 61-77 students. The Ministry of Education has worked with the Association of School Transportation Services of B.C. to procure school buses, which has resulted in savings of 10 to 15 per cent each year and saves school districts significant administrative and staff time. The six new buses will be delivered next spring.

Sim tops in BC With heavy rainfall warnings posted throughout the Lower Mainland on the weekend, the BC High School Cross Country Championships were a wet affair at Aldergrove Lake Park. The soggy conditions did not hamper Salmon Arm Secondary’s Glynis Sim, as she claimed top spot in the senior girls’ race. “It was good – I started a little fast, but it was a pretty good pace, I guess. I tried to stay with the first person most of the time, and I just ended up passing the person in the lead pretty close to the finish. I was only like a second ahead of them.” Glynis came from behind in the last few hundred metres and held off her competitors to finish the
4.3-kilometre race in 16:13. On the first lap, Sim made a move in the exact same place to claim the lead, but she gave up the lead shortly after. When asked about her move on the first lap, she said, “I felt pretty good so I thought I would go for it.” From the spectator’s perspective, it appeared she was testing her challengers’ mettle, said Dave Van Bergeyk, Salmon Arm Secondary’s coach. “She ran that race to perfection,” he said. “Glynis is not just gifted athletically; she is also a really smart runner. We are so happy for her that she achieved this result, See salmon Arm on page A18

Off to New Brunswick If Sean Wallace, John Antulov, Kevin Brechin and Sebastian Gardner didn’t believe in déjà vu before, they might after Sunday. The four had to be thinking about that last week in Nanaimo as they saw their Thompson Rivers University WolfPack win the 2013 PACWEST men’s soccer title in penalty kicks. The last time the school had won the title, it was 2007 and that too was decided in penalty kicks. On this day, it was a decision over the Douglas College Royals with TRU winning the match 4-3 on penalty kicks after the teams were tied 1-1 after regulation and overtime.
“It’s pretty satisfying for Seb I would imagine,” said WolfPack cohead coach Wallace. “In 2007, we were down 2-0 after the first half. We came back to tie and win it in PKs.” Wallace and Antulov were the cohead coaches then, Brechin was the team’s trainer and Gardner – the only current fifth year on the TRU roster, was in his first season.” Keeper Travis Froelich, a Salmon Arm Secondary grad, was chosen as the best goalie in the playoffs and is now in St. John, N.B. with the team for the 2013 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Soccer Nationals that began today.

Salmon Arm teams tally well in province Continued from A17 especially after she was disappointed with her placing at the Valleys two weeks ago.” That result was a sixth place in the Okanagan zone race, which Glynis was expected to win. It was a tough race for her, nonetheless. “About 800 metres from the finish I start-
ed feeling pretty tired, I was thinking pretty negatively,” she says, but she managed to keep pushing herself. One factor adding to the difficulty was the pouring rain. “It was pretty gross. I was pretty tired so I didn’t really try to avoid puddles but they were pretty big and muddy and gross.” Asked about a goal now that she has won
the provincial championship, she said: “I guess to be top 10 next year, probably at that race.” Glynis trains with her sister Emmy, who was the second senior girl runner from Salmon Arm Secondary, finishing in a time of 18:35.56. Salmon Arm sent both a senior boys and senior girls team to the race in Aldergrove.
The senior boys, who ran a longer 6.3km route, were led by Jonathan Bakker’s 87th place finish, with the team achieving a strong 12th place out of the 24 teams. Considering these are all the top teams from the various zones throughout the province, a top-half placing is noteworthy, said Van Bergeyk. The other boys on
the team were John Connor, Alexander Corbett, Andrew Nash, Seth van Varseveld, James Hardy, and Nelson Kleer. The girls, paced by Glynis’s first place, finished 14th out of 26 teams. The other runners for the girls, along with Emmy Sim, were Lisa Petterson, Taigan Radomske, Jessica Brown, Theresa Thoms and Elena Bruns.

Exercising to a fitness milestone By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
Arda Shields has a brilliant smile — and she’s got good reason for it. Shields, 70, recently marked the milestone of making 1,000 visits to the gym at ProActive Fitness. Six years ago, the sunny senior didn’t feel so perky. He knees pained her and her legs were so swollen she was having trouble walking. “It was my husband who said, ‘why not try the gym?’” Shields said, so with the help of a physiotherapist and ProActive owners Ron and Heather Stanton, she decided to start working out for the first time in her life. “They made me feel welcome and it was a friendly place, so I kept
coming and pretty soon I would come every day I could.” While Shields is still on a waiting list for knee replacement surgery, she credits the regular exercise with reducing her pain, aiding her mobility, improving her mood and increasing her vitality. Shields has worked a lot on her balance and stability, which can help prevent falls. And she’s lost some weight to boot. “I feel like it’s an energy bank. Coming to the gym is like buying me hours in the day where I have the energy to do things. I put in this time and I get paid back in feeling like I have the strength and energy to do things – and I like to do things.” Shields has gone from never setting foot

SilverBacks drop two over weekend Taking into account the absence of their top scorer Alex Gillies, two tough opponents and a seeming lack of ability of the rest of their roster to capitalize on expanded roles, it added up to a pair of narrow losses for the Salmon Arm SilverBacks. The Gorillas dropped a 2-1 road decision in Vernon and were then edged 3-2 by a Victoria Grizzlies squad that is on a bit of a roll of late. The Grizz held Salmon Arm off the scoresheet until the third and wound up getting the winning goal late off the stick of Jesse Schwartz. “We saw a very good (Victoria) team at the Showcase, we saw a good team again when we went there on a road trip and when you have two teams that are working, crashing and banging, they’re tough to get a handle on,” said SilverBacks associate head coach Brandon West. “We’ve got to find a way to get more chances. Credit to them, they’re a very tough team to play against and I see suc-

Friday in Vernon, Max Becker had the lone ’Backs goal. It tied the game midway through the second but

Michael McNicholas’ goal on the man advantage in the third won it for the Snakes. The number of whistles due to penalties prevented any momentum developing and Salmon Arm’s 0-6 showing on the power play was costly. “It was tough to get a lot of flow in the game,” said West. “We didn’t get the puck to the net enough (on the power play) and we
didn’t get bodies in front enough. We let (Vipers goalie) Danny Todosychuk see too many pucks; if you do that, you’re not going to have much success.” While Salmon Arm’s penalty killing remains best in the BCHL at 87 per cent, the power play could use a jolt as the team sits 13th in the league at just 15 per cent effectiveness. “Our power play is very basic and simple,”

said West. “We have certain principles we like to stick by. We structure off rebounds rather than getting set up and hoping a pass gets through a seam. But we’re not going to stress about our power play when we’re one of the higher-scoring teams in the league.” Max Becker notched a goal and an assist over the weekend and continues to thrive on an increased role in Gillies’ absence. “He’s been given an opportunity to play with Evan (Anderson) and Landon (Smith),” noted West. “He’s filled in quite nicely, contributed on the scoresheet and been a leader in the room.” On Saturday at 7, Salmon Arm hosts a rejuvenated Trail team

Clusterfunk will raise a ruckus for SEAS By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
It’s a full-circle story that will benefit the Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS). Canada’s iconic, award-winning jazz band, The Shuffle Demons, is on a tour sponsored by the Canada Council for the Arts and will be performing in Salmon Arm on Friday, Nov. 15 at the Gleneden Hall. Joining them is Shuswap’s favourite R&B big band, The Salmon Armenians. Music lovers can expect a night of highenergy, funk-filled fun listening and dancing to these amazing musicians. “When we planned this tour, we made sure that my hometown was on the list,” said Shuffle Demons band leader Richard Underhill, who grew up in Salmon Arm. “I keep track of what is happening in the Shuswap and I have always been impressed with the work over the last 24 years that SEAS has done to protect the environmental values we all cherish.

folk songs. Ravel’s Bolero is a one-movement orchestral piece originally composed as a ballet. It is Ravel’s most famous composition. Critically acclaimed violinist Marc Djokic joins the orchestra to perform Edouard Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole. It was written for violinist Pablo de Sarasate (a Spaniard in France) and premiered in Paris in 1875. The piece has Spanish motifs throughout and launched a period when Spanish-themed music came into vogue. Praised for his dynamic and exciting performance style, Djokic is one of Canada’s most engaging concert musicians. He performs across the U.S. and Canada as a soloist and a collaborative musician. He has performed as guest soloist with many Canadian orchestras, including those in Toronto, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Ottawa, New Brunswick and Niagara. Guest conductor Gordon Gerrard has established a unique place in the new generation of Canadian musicians as one of its fastest rising stars. Trained as a pianist and subsequently as

Fuelling funding for food bank By Barb Brouwer OBSeRveR STAFF
Organizers are hoping area residents will support the 22nd annual Sleigh of Hope Music Jamboree with a spirit of giving. The kick-off event to the yearly drive for food and toys for the Salvation Army takes place Friday and Saturday, Nov. 15 and 16 at the Mall at Piccadilly. Inaugurated in 1991 by the local Lions Club, organization of the event that gathered about half-a-ton of food last year was undertaken over the past six years by Pat Gerbrant, a former Lion, even though she had moved to the Coast. Her assistant Lyn Sande has taken over with the help of Patricia Argent this year and the
women are hoping to increase the amount of food and number of toys collected for the Salvation Army. This year’s theme is still about giving but in an atmosphere of fun, where the only admission people are asked to pay is a donation of food, gifts and/or money in order to enjoy the jam-packed, two-day musical event at the mall. Abe Zacharias, who has participated in every Sleigh of Hope Jamboree since they began in 1991, is one of 32 artists who will perform during the two-day event. “Many of the musicians have been there for upwards of six years,” says Sande, noting Patrick Ryley, The Boot Scootin’ Line Dancers, Linzy Lunk-
wist, The Dust Puppets and this year’s Shuswap Idols are on this year’s lineup. The jamboree kicks off with pipers Frank Reynolds and John Angus at 9:45 a.m. Friday, Nov. 15, and the entertainment continues until 8:20 p.m. On Saturday, the entertainment begins at 9:45 a.m. and continues to 4:45 p.m. Last year, the Salvation Army handed out more than 500 Christmas hampers and more will be needed this year. Organizers appreciate the support from the community and say anyone who wishes to sponsor the program is invited to call Pat at 250-463-2654, or Lyn at 250-307-0750, or send an email to Sande at lynsande777@yahoo.ca.
Citizens For Safe Technology promote film Citizens for Safe Technology invite residents to a screening of the film, Take Back the Power Friday, Nov. 15 at the Salmar Classic. The film, by B.C. filmmaker Josh del Sol, provides an in-depth investigation into the multifaceted smart meter program with experts and researchers
providing evidence of the impacts of this grid. The film examines BC Hydro’s replacement of analog meters with ‘smart’ meters, with an accompanying advertising campaign hailing them as a ‘necessary upgrade’ and a benefit to all. Lower rates and efficient access to the new,
safe grid were promised as a way to reduce power outages and make monitoring easier. “The vast majority of B.C. residents seemingly took BC Hydro at their word simply accepting the changes,” says film promoter Chris Madsen, who says the public did not have time to become in-
formed or debate in an open forum. Citizens for Safe Technology maintain smart meters pose a significant threat to consumers’ privacy, security and well being. The movie runs at 7 p.m. Tickets Are $10 at the door, and advance tickets are available by calling 250-550-5499.
Join cast at Runaway Moon Runaway Moon Theatre is inviting residents to be part of an unusual and beautiful performance, to take place in enderby early in December. They are looking for people of all ages – some to sing in a chorus, and others to be part of group scenes, or both. There will be just a few rehearsals, with two or three sessions ahead of time for the people who will have singing parts. A small number of people for puppet and mask parts are
also needed. varrick Grimes, from Newfoundland and Ontario, directed the same project in Stratford, Ont. as a collaboration with Runaway Moon. varrick has led large-scale community performances across the country, and is frequently asked to teach devised performance and physical theatre. He has recently been an assistant director at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. But in this valley he is known for directing some of Run-

shuswap Theatre’s first Mainstage production opens Friday, Nov. 15 with Little Shop of Horrors. In her director’s notes, Julia body enthusiastically refers to quotes by American poet e.e. Cummings: “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter,” and Plato, who is credited with “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” body says Little Shop of Horrors combines an incredible musical score and some very funny lines, giving
the very best of music and laughter. Composer Alan Menken and writer Howard Ashman poke good-natured fun at sci-fi b movies and the musical comedy genre. “They have written a play of delightful and lovable characters, and songs that had us leaving the theatre humming or singing well after rehearsals were over,” says body. “I really have to give a “shout out” to Kieran (rambo), Jake (McIntyre-Paul), and Nick (Dicastri), our incredible orchestra. “These amazing young musicians amazed us with their commitment and with
their love of music.” body has assembled a stellar cast in stephen Hiscock, elaine Holmes, Aidan sparks, Marcus smith, Kim MacMillan, sean rossouw and George rithaler playing a number of roles. The chorus is made up of Michelle Holmes, Jessica schiefke and emmy sim. “Putting a play like this together is a huge task, which involves the talents and commitment of many people,” body says, offering thanks to cast and crew. “everyone has shown exceptional dedication to the creative endeavor which is theatre.” body, who taught at
salmon Arm secondary for several years, is currently on staff at Pleasant valley senior secondary. A salmon Arm resident for some 15 years, body has been involved with shuswap Theatre for more than 25 years, both on stage and behind the scenes. The show will run over three weekends – Nov. 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m., sunday at 1:30 p.m. and Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. visit shuswaptheatre. com for subsequent weekends.

Flu shots should be a no-brainer for health workers Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – I got my influenza shot this week, paid for out of pocket since I don’t qualify for any of the higher-risk groups provided with free immunization. A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled that it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient areas. Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors and visitors will have to put patients first. Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members
who insist they have a right to refuse immunization and increase exposure to patients. They have apparently run up the white flag. “We will be telling our members to comply with the new policy, or risk being fired,” said an overly dramatic Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association. HSA lawyers led the grievance, supported by the Hospital Employees’ Union and the B.C. Nurses’ Union. Avery said the union will continue to urge its members to take advantage of on-site flu shot clinics. That’s right, like most provincial employees, they all get immunization that is not only free but administered at work. Kendall announced the regulation last year, after finding that 40 per cent of employees in long-term care were not getting the current influenza vaccine, and the rate of
immunization was declining. Their objections make no sense. Aside from the self-serving “rights” argument, they complain that the annual flu vaccine isn’t effective enough. The formula is developed by international effort to track the dominant strains that emerge as winter rolls around the world. Kendall says a poor match results in about 40 per cent immunity, and a good match reaches 90 per cent. At the risk of stating the obvious, he notes that even 40 per cent is better than nothing. After two weeks of expert testimony, arbitrator Robert Diebolt, a retired UBC law professor, wrote as follows: “It is indisputable that influenza can be a serious, even fatal, disease. Immunization also indisputably provides a measure of protec-

tions that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick days, Tieleman asserts. Ah, so an infected health care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Last week BCNU president Debra McPherson was warning about “chaos” at the new Surrey Memorial emergency ward, her latest of a career of media protests. The big new facility is already overflowing, and more beds and more staff are needed, stat! Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility. -Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com

tion to health care workers and I have found that their immunization reduces influenza transmission to patients. “I have also concluded that there is a real and serious patient safety issue and the policy is a helpful program to reduce patient risk.” The B.C. Centre for Disease Control calculates that if all health care workers would get immunized, the risk to patients would be reduced nearly 50 per cent. The Ministry of Health warns: “you can spread influenza for 24 hours before you have any symptoms.” What would cause educated health care workers to defy common sense? A hint is provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog. This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corpora-

They say time heals all wounds, but time doesn’t heal, it just gives you a chance to get stronger to deal with reality. Born December 4, 1982 in Kamloops. She graduated from Salmon Arm Secondary in 2000 and completed her BBA at Kamloops Thompson Rivers University in 2005. Mandy married Davinder from New Westminster on September 4, 2010 . Mandy was a devoted wife, loving daughter and youngest sibling. Her exuberant personality and zest for life left all who met her with indelible memories. Mandy got sick and was not able to recover from the complications from an auto immune disorder called Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). Mandy had a stay at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital and was very impressed with the level of care she received except the fact that there wasn’t a blanket warmer on the 4th level of the Hospital. Her parents have made a donation to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation and they purchased a Blanket warmer in her honor for the 4th floor.

Dorothy Madeline Simpson (Allan) Born in Montreal Dec 31st 1918. Passed on in the Comox Valley October 21st 2013 aged 94 Mom’s lengthy journey ended peacefully on Monday at Glacier View Lodge with family and caregivers by her side. She had resided at Glacier View Lodge for the past eight years where she received excellent and compassionate care. Mom was predeceased by her first husband and father of her children John (Jack) Allan, and her second husband, Derby Simpson and her eldest son, John Allan Jr. She is survived by her children, David, Glenn (Madeline), Bruce (Frances), Lorraine Boszormeny (George), Mark (Valerie), Keith (Jennifer) and fourteen grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. Also two step-children Karen Simpson and Kent Simpson (Cathy). She will be sadly missed and well-remembered by her family and many friends. Growing up as an orphan in Montreal, she married Jack on September 27th 1941 and created a home and family in Ste Anne de Bellvue, Quebec. While working part time and raising a large family, she found time to join the Catholic Women’s league and the International Daughters of the Empire. She enjoyed swimming, bowling, golf, gardening and socializing; she hosted some of the finest and most successful Tupperware parties on the west island of Montreal. On retirement, she and her husband Jack moved out to Surrey to join some of the family where they made many new friends. Ten years after Jack passed away Mom married Derby Simpson and they moved to Chase, where they spent happy summers on the lake and visits to Reno in the winter with Derby’s brother Jack and his wife Barb. Later they moved to the Seniors Village in Kamloops where Derby passed away and Dorothy moved to Vancouver Island to be near four of her sons.

MACKAY, GLEN DAVID It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of long time Salmon Arm resident Glen MacKay on Sunday, October 27, 2013 at the Mount Ida Mews. Born on September 18, 1926 in Enderby, BC he was one of four children of Murdoch and Ruby MacKay. The family later moved to Sicamous and eventually Dad moved to Salmon Arm to complete his high school education. As a youth he enjoyed and excelled in hockey and lacrosse. Though he had the opportunity to go on to post secondary education, he went directly into a working career in the forest industry, eventually spending many of his years as a logging contractor. In 1959 he married Molly Miller and they settled in the Salmon Arm area, raising their three children, David, Susan, and Barry, and providing the family with a secure and happy home. Dad and Mom passed on an enduring love and support for us in the following years. With Dad’s keen sense of humour, thoughtfulness, courtesy and common sense values, he was a great role model and wonderful man to be around. After being diagnosed with kidney disease in 2003 he dealt with his condition with determination and diligence until the end of his life. Dad was predeceased by Mom (2012) and son David (1977). He is survived by his children Susan (Ron) and Barry (Cathy), grandchildren Adam and Kaitlyn, sister Berniece (Clayton Ruddick) of Chilliwack, BC, as well as many extended family and friends. In honouring his specific wishes, a private spring time graveside service will be held. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honour Dad’s memory may make a donation to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or a charity of their choice. For their care and support we would like to thank Bowers Funeral Home, Dr. Weicker, and the staffs of the Vernon Dialysis Unit, the Mount Ida Mews, and the Shuswap Lodge. Online condolences can be sent through Glen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm. EELI HENRIK SIMONSON 1918 - 2013 Eeli Henrik Simonson passed away quietly at his home in Dinsmore, Saskatchewan on October 27, 2013 with his three children by his side. He was 94 years old. Eeli was born in Dunblane, Saskatchewan on November 7, 1918 to Ida and Nestor Simonson. He was orphaned by the age of nine and was living independently at 16. He spent his early 20’s overseas with the Canadian War effort, and after the war went to Vancouver, B.C. While logging on Pender Island he met Edith G. Teece and they married in 1948. He attended watchmaking school in Vancouver and soon opened the first of his jewelry stores there. Their children, Antero, Aaro and Eila were born in Vancouver. The family moved to Sunnybrae in 1960 and Eeli opened his jewelry store on Hudson Street in Salmon Arm. His wife Edith passed away in 1976. A few years later Eeli re-met an old school friend, Wylma Hanson. They spent a number of years together in Sunnybrae, before moving to Dinsmore, Saskatchewan where, after a few years of retiremenet, he opened a third jewelry store. He retired again and took up fishing. Eeli is survived by his companion Wylma Hanson, his three children, Antero, Aaro (Peg), Eila (Ron), five grandsons, Niko, Erik (Michelle), Leon, Chance, Tahvo, great grandson Evan and brand new great granddaughter Avery! Our father had many interests and has left us with our memories, a legacy of lessons and his legendary sense of humour. We are grateful. In keeping with Eeli’s wishes there will be no service. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Clements Rosetown Funeral Home.
