Cooper thrilled with re-election Municipal vote: Salmon Arm council made up of three incumbents, three new additions. By Martha Wickett

OBSeRVeR STAFF
The anxiety and sleepless nights were forgotten with the arrival of a one-word text. “Wo-bam.” To Nancy cooper and her family, Wobam, the word created some time ago by a young grandson, indicates if something is good. She received the text from a family member who was monitoring the election night count at the community centre. Not long after came a follow-up text. “Wo-frickin-bam.” cooper had been re-elected by a landslide, or, as one family member described it, a rockslide. unofficial results show cooper winning with 2,343 votes, more than 1,200 over second-place finisher, former mayor Marty Bootsma’s 1,088 ballots. Bootsma said he doesn’t think it was a matter of vote splitting. “Nancy just blew us away,” he said, acknowledging he has no idea why the vote went the way it did. “I’m disappointed and surprised, but c’est la vie, it was a nice, clean campaign and I wish her well.” Incumbent councillor debbie cannon came in third in the mayoral race with 950 votes, while former mayor Ian Wickett was fourth with 657. cooper spent election night at home with family and a few friends, not knowing what to expect. “I wanted to be confident, I have done lots of good stuff, but with four people running, anything can happen.” She is understandably pleased with the result. “It says to me that the people really appreciated what I’ve done – so I can go ahead with a big mandate to do what I’ve been doing. It’s quite exciting to have that happen.” She complimented all the candidates who put their names forward. “They put themselves out, they did it for the community. I have the utmost respect for Marty, for debbie, for Ian – you don’t do this for yourself.” cooper said she didn’t run a big campaign because she was busy with her job as may-

Back for a second term: Incumbent mayor, Nancy Cooper is all smiles after learning she was re-elected Saturday, Nov. 15. or, but instead ran on her record. She said she did a lot of “management by walking around” during the term, speaking to businesses in the industrial park, for example, and to people at events and on the street. cooper said friends and others would tell her she’s a quiet person but she gets things done, so they took it upon themselves to campaign on her behalf. Although there were rumblings of discontent from a couple of members of the incumbent council regarding her leadership style, cooper said she thinks it may have been that they had a different view of the mayor’s job than she does.
This week An open house on the preliminary design for highway upgrades will take place in 2015. See A3. A mother discusses how electrosensitivity impacts her family. See story on A8.
She notes that the community charter describes the mayor as chief executive officer, so she would sometimes do things on her own and then bring them back to council. “It was different from the previous leadership,” she said. cooper said she’s looking forward to working with the new council, “some seasoned councillors and some new blood.” She doesn’t see a problem having councillors whose views may differ from hers. “I think it takes time to get to know each other. We need that balance on council, to have different opinions and ideas.”
Bobbi Johnson - 2,608* Michel Saab - 2,255* Dale Townsend - 1,424 Marcel Bedard - 1,416 cooper has now served one term as councillor and one as mayor, so, when this new four-year term is over, she will have been on council for 10 years. She’s not sure whether she’d take another run at the job. “I don’t think I’ll be Hazel from Mississauga,” she laughs, referring to Mccallion’s 36 years as mayor of the Ontario town. “She retired at 93.” On council, the three incumbents running were re-elected, Alan Harrison, Ken Jamieson and chad eliason. Both Marg Kentel and denise Reimer did not seek re-election. See harrison on page A2

Salmon Arm man flees from police By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
The RCMP is seeking the public’s help in locating a Salmon Arm man who evaded arrest last Wednesday and remains at large. Vincent Lorne Massie, 44, of Salmon Arm is wanted on several outstanding charges including forcible confinement, assault and resisting arrest. On Nov. 12, members of the Kelowna RCMP Warrant Team were able to track Massie to a residence in Deep Creek, near Salmon Arm. “Immediately upon seeing police, Massie fled the residence on foot, evading a co-ordinated police effort to bring him into custody,” said Const. Kris
Clark, a media relations officer based in Kelowna. “He remains at large and police are asking for public assistance in locating him.” Massie is described at a Caucasian male, five feet five inches tall and 150 pounds. He has brown, thinning hair and hazel eyes. Anyone with information about Massie or his whereabouts, is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300. People who wish to remain anonymous can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800222-8477. Alternatively, citizens can leave a tip online at www.crimestoppers. net or by text a tip to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

Harrison gets most votes Continued from front Also elected to council were newcomer Tim Lavery, former councillor Kevin Flynn and newcomer Louise Wallace Richmond. Once again, Harrison topped the polls and said he’s thrilled to be re-elected. “It is reassuring that incumbents who ran were successful, reinforcing that overall people are satisfied with the decisions we made over the past three years.” This will be Harrison’s sixth term on council in Salmon Arm, yet he doesn’t take reelection for granted. “A little nervousness keeps a person energized and motivated,” he adds. Harrison said he’s looking forward to working with what looks like a very strong group. “I think the council is nicely balanced, with representation from a variety of back-

In the 2011 elections, 5,108 ballots were cast out of the estimated 12,982 eligible voters, which equates to 39.4 per cent. The 2008 election drew 47.8 per cent of voters while the 2005 municipal elec-
tion saw a 38.6 per cent voter turnout. Unofficial results put the B.C. voter participation rate at 33 per cent, although this did not include the tallies for regional districts and school board elections. In the four-way race for the two Salmon Arm school trustee slots, voters went for the tried and true. Longtime board members Bobbi Johnson and Michel Saab were handily returned to their posts over contenders Dale Townsend and Marcel Bedard.

Bridge plans a concern for city Trans-Canada Highway: Ministry plans to hold public open house. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Salmon Arm Council has been assured that changes to the TransCanada Highway in the area of the Salmon River Bridge are in the preliminary stages. And, before the work moves full speed ahead, the public will be consulted. Those assurances leave at least one business owner unconvinced the preliminary plan will change, however. Transportation ministry representatives came to council’s Nov. 10 meeting to explain what their plans are for replacing the bridge and four-laning the highway at the west end of town. Council requested the meeting to get an update and hear if public input will be considered, particularly in light of concerns raised by DeMille’s Farm Market. A ministry plan DeMille’s was shown in the summer would leave the business at the end of a dead-end frontage road. Ken Aura, senior project manager for the Southern Interior region, told council he expects an open house will be held early in the new year. He explained there are three sections to the work: two kilometres of highway from 30th to 10th Street; about 1.5 kilometres from First Avenue to 30th Street which includes the bridge; and 2.8 kilometres from Indian Reserve #3 to First Avenue. He said plans for four-laning from 30th to 10th Street are further along than the other
two, and construction is likely to begin in 2016. “We’re moving into detailed design,” Aura said of the 30th to 10th Street stretch. “First Avenue to 30th, and IR#3 to First are early in the process. We’re still working on preliminary design.” Regarding the 30th to 10th Street stretch, he said the community will see work in the coming months, such as surveying, drilling and environmental studies. Council asked many questions on several issues, including business access and the fate of agricultural land. Coun. Marg Kentel said she thought the Ruths (owners of Pedro Gonzalez) had spoken to the ministry about highway plans before their building was rebuilt following a fire. She was referring to a complaint that the plan shows the highway travelling about 10 feet from the door. Aura said: “They may have spoken to the local approvals office. At that time, probably the four-laning project wasn’t active.” Kentel wasn’t convinced. “I find this a little bit surprising as it was built this year. We’ve been talking about this (fourlaning) for some time.” Regarding DeMille’s, Kentel noted the owners donated land to create a safe turning lane off the highway. Aura assured: “Accommodating businesses is one of the priorities for us.” Coun. Debbie Cannon asked if she is understanding correctly that the ministry is open to the thoughts and concerns of stakeholders. “It’s not etched in

Brad DeMille says the current design would be detrimental to their operation. stone…? So if they have an alternative thought process, that’s considered?” Aura replied, yes. Coun. Alan Harrison pointed out that council was happy to have the ministry at the meeting, noting that this and past councils have lobbied for improvements to the bridge. He emphasized that the main challenge on the south side of the highway appears to be accommodating DeMille’s, ensuring the highway changes do not kill their business. Owner Brad DeMille remains skeptical the ministry will change its plan. “It’s the same plan I saw 15 years ago – it hasn’t honestly changed from then. And it hasn’t changed from the plan I saw in the summer,” he said. He fights back emotion as he contemplates the fate of his business. “It’s taken all these years to build this place up and you see a oneway dead end road..” Dale Ruth agrees that changes need to be made. “I’ll be interested to

see if they hear what we’re saying and listen to us.” He said he endorses and supports Brad DeMille’s ideas. “He’s important. We’ll be on the frontage road together and I want his business healthy.” Aura said the ministry will be talking to farmers and the Agricultural Land Commission. “Ultimately as part of the wider highway footprint, there will be agricultural land impacted. We will have to make an application to the ALC to have it removed. Usually we get an agrologist to assist us. Typically there’s quite a bit of back and forth with the ALC.” Coun. Denise Reimer asked about consultations with First Nations. Aura said the ministry has had good discussions with them. “They, not surprisingly, have many of the same concerns as anyone else,” he said, which include access, further development, community access regarding trail development…”

Food bank added to shelter Salvation Army: Former thrift shop used for food, daytime coffee area. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
It was smiles all around Thursday as staff and volunteers at the Salvation Army’s Lighthouse Shelter opened a new addition to the building – the food bank. The food bank moved from its home of many years on Second Avenue NE to its new location at 441 Third St. NE, now under the banner of Lighthouse Community Ministries. Inside the former Department of National Defence Armoury is the existing 16-bed homeless shelter, with the food bank taking the place of the former thrift shop. In cutting the ribbon, Capt. Sheldon Feener expressed gratitude for the community’s support of the shelter and food bank. “Last year the community was wonderful to us….” Lunch will continue to be served Wednesdays at the food bank’s
former location. At its new home, breads, vegetables, fruit and some tinned and packaged foods are available every day, but people must make an appointment for Tuesday or Thursday to meet with staff and sign up for a hamper. The hampers are given out every six weeks. Feener and his spouse Sharon point out that no one will be sent away empty-handed if they’re in need of food because the front table is always stocked. Along with the food bank, the building now houses a coffee area with chairs and tables where people can come in and enjoy a coffee and relief from the cold. The coffee area will open at 8 a.m. Monday through Friday. Mondays and Fridays it will close at noon, Tuesdays and Thursdays it will be open till 2 p.m. and Wednesdays it closes at 11 a.m. The shelter portion of the building opens at 6:30 nightly and shuts
Burns light up Mt. Ida There’s fire on the mountains, but no reason for concern. That’s the message from Kayla Pepper, fire information officer with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ Wildfire Management Branch. Large fires at the southern summit of Mt. Ida last Wednesday
night sparked many calls. But Pepper says there are well over 40 active industrial burn registrations in place and conditions last week were good for venting smoke. Forestry companies are engaging in resource burning, getting rid of debris that could fuel wildfires in fire season.

Asked about needs, Feener says the shelter can use ready-made suppers that can be reheated either in a microwave or oven.

can only warm up premade dinners. However, it has acquired a large freezer, so has the capacity to store meals. If you’d like to contribute, call the Lighthouse Community Ministries at 250-832-9196 or drop by the shelter next to the indoor arena and Safeway.

Fundraising: Toshi Sato expresses gratitude for community’s help while his daughter gets cancer treatment. By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Toshi Sato and his family are overwhelmed with gratitude. Aumie Sato, who turns two on Nov. 25, had a teratoma tumour removed from her lower back on Oct. 10 in BC Children’s Hospital. Because of its proximity to her intestine, just 90 per cent could be removed. The tumour had also metastasized to her chest, forming a yolk-sac tumour, so she began undergoing chemo therapy on Oct. 21. The community has rallied around the family, raising funds to help support them with their many expenses. Yuko, Aumie’s mother, stays in Vancouver with Aumie, while Toshi has been in Salmon Arm with her two older sisters, Anjou and Hannah. Some days Toshi has had to shut down their restaurant, Sushi Kotan. Things have eased up somewhat for Toshi, as Yuko’s parents – who the children love
– have come to Salmon Arm from Japan to help. But there are still many extra expenses. “I feel the Salmon Arm community is such a beautiful people, a beautiful community. Our family wants to say a big thank you very much,” says Toshi emotionally. The family was reunited in Vancouver at the hospital this past weekend. Toshi says Aumie is much better since an infection at the site of her surgery cleared up. She was on pain killers, but those have stopped. He points out that when Aumie is not doing well, neither is Yuko. “Right now Aumie looks good and my wife is good, too,” he says. Aumie is generally quite reserved at the hospital, but not when her two sisters came to visit. “She was very happy when her sisters were there – she was playing, very different,” says Toshi, adding that her sisters were happy too. Toshi also explains excitedly that he has
been told Hope Air might be flying Aumi home for two days so she can celebrate her second birthday in Salmon Arm. She has been undergoing her second round of chemo, which started Nov. 11. She must have six rounds, each consisting of five days of chemo followed by 16 days of rest. While Aumie is undergoing chemo, she stays at the hospital. In between, she and Yuko go to Ronald McDonald House. If Aumie does well, Toshi says she could be done in 120 days. However, if she gets any kind of a virus, chemo may be delayed. In the meantime, he emphasizes the family’s gratitude and wants the community to know what’s happening. “Many people give us money – we want them to know what the situation is.” A fundraising dinner and silent auction at Shuswap Chefs on Sunday night put on by owner Rob Sengotta and supported by Downtown Salmon

GUIDELINES FOR THE MOTORING PUBLIC During winter months, public safety is one of the main goals at the City of Salmon Arm. To meet these goals the Engineering & Public Works Department follows policies and procedures established and reviewed over several years to provide snow and ice control. The motoring public can help meet these goals by following a few winter driving guidelines: • Always stay back of snow clearing equipment 15 meters even when they are stopped at intersections; • Do not pass snow clearing vehicles, as often sand and salt will be thrown and may damage your vehicle; • Remember that snow and ice control is not a substitute for defensive driving in the winter. • The placing of snow on the traveled portion of the roadway from your driveway or parking area is not permitted. This regulation helps to ensure that potentially dangerous situations are avoided. • It is recommended that the parking of unattended vehicles on the roadway during winter months be avoided if possible. This enables efficient and economical snow clearing/removal for City crews, provides safe driving room on winter streets and prevents potential damage from snow removal operations occurring to your vehicle. • In the event of a major snowfall, we ask that you park your vehicle off the roadway until it is plowed to enable efficient and economical snow plowing. The Engineering & Public Works Department thanks you for your patience and understanding during the winter months. For more information call 250-803-4000 • Follow us on twitter @SalmonArmBC

for what it’S worth

Safe bets and surprises Phew. It’s over and now it’s another four years until the community will be electing another mayor, city council and school board trustees. I must admit to being a bit of an election junkie. After all who doesn’t like a race? And unlike many things about politics which tend to operate in shades of grey, elections are concrete, black-and-white interpretations of the will of the voters. It was disappointing once again to see turnout so low. This year’s elections only drew 38 per cent of people to the polls compared with 39 per cent in the 2011 elections. There were 5,082 ballots cast for the city elections out of a possible 13,393. Although Salmon Arm’s numbers hover around the provincial average, it is still disappointing to me that we could not do better. While I’m a notoriously poor prophet when it comes to election results, this year there were some safe bets. It was no surprise to anyone that Alan Harrison topped the polls for council. The perennially popular politician and principal (try saying that four times in a row) secured more votes than anyone, including the mayor. It’s hard not to like his reasonable, well-thought-out positions, combined with his tendency to be pretty conservative with the taxpayer’s dollars. It’s a formula that has paid dividends for years. The other two incumbents, Chad Eliason and Ken Jamieson, also handily won their posts back. Incumbents have an advantage in all elections, but it was clear the voters appreciated their solid work thus far. While I was not personally surprised by Nancy Cooper’s win, as I thought Debbie Cannon and Marty Bootsma would split the vote, the margin of her victory was significant. Cooper has had her critics. She’s been called namby-pamby and inefficient. But say what you want about her – Nancy Cooper shows up. She meets people, she cuts ribbons, she shakes hands and constantly expresses appreciation for the efforts of others. She appears approachable and willing to listen. It’s like governance by group hug. Mayor Cooper may be less controversial than Salmon Arm mayors of yore, but this inclusive style clearly resonated with Salmon Arm voters. During the fast and furious posting of election numbers, the three remaining council spaces were difficult to predict. Ultimately, the community voted to add a diversity of voices. Louise Wallace Richmond, the lone female councillor, is arguably the most left-leaning, the sole member to live in Canoe and a champion of arts and culture. Kevin Flynn is known for his outspoken, brash style (including a few fist pumps at the community centre when it became clear he would win a slot) and a strong fiscal management position. Newly retired teacher Tim Lavery clearly won votes with his emphasis on making thoughtful, well researched decisions. Should be interesting times at the table. I want to take the opportunity to congratulate those who also putt their names forward but were unsuccessful. Choice is important and it is not an easy task to put yourself out in front of the community and face the tally. You all deserve our appreciation.

But while we may realize there are needs in a general sense, there are often specific ways people can help various organizations that can become the perfect fit between giver and recipient. That’s where the Observer’s annual Guide To Giving comes in. Each year, the newspaper donates free space in our pages for local nonprofit groups to write about their organization’s
needs and requests in hopes that people in the community will step up during the holidays. We want to make both the non-profit groups aware of this opportunity (See the ad on page A20) and let the community know to watch for publication of the guide in the pages of the Observer on Wednesday, Dec. 3. It is a great way to set some priorities when considering charitable contributions. The guide will also appear for free on our website at www.saobserver.net. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 28, so groups will need to send us something quickly. It is our hope to connect people and help meet the needs of the groups who give back to Salmon Arm’s quality of life.

The Observer asked: Should fighting be banned in junior hockey?
Tom Blindhein “Yes, because it is not an appropriate way to express emotion.”
Jo Salter “No, because it is a part of higher level of the sport. They have to learn how to protect themselves.”
Carrie Bradley “Yes. I think they should be more focused on developing their skills and sportsmanship.”
Bryan Rempel “Yes. There is no need to fight at that level of hockey.”
Roger Moore “Yes it should be. If fighting isn’t banned it should be more heavily enforced.”
Plans need to address derailment concerns Change needed for festival? I was interested to see that the taxpayers of Salmon Arm are picking up the bill to keep the Roots and Blues Festival going next year. City council said that the festival is good for Salmon Arm; or should they have said businesses in Salmon Arm. It certainly brings money, traffic, noise and some good music to town for a week each summer, but where’s the lasting benefit to most of the people who live here? When When was the was the last last $95,000 town $95,000 town investment in investment in supporting any supporting any permanent local permanent loarts? cal arts? The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society has a long and proud history in this town, starting small and creating something extraordinary. In 2008 a group of local business interests on their board of directors gained control of the festival by very callously ousting the artistic director Linda Tanaka, who was there from the beginning. They seem to have been successful in turning what was a profitable enterprise into another draw on the taxpayer. Should taxpayer dollars be given to the same group that got the Roots & Blues Festival into this position, or is it time for a change of guard? Jeff Person

This is not an original concern, but I share it because I believe it to have some merit. Considering the local elections were recently underway in our city, it surprised me to hear that much discussion was made about consideration for an underpass to provide access to the lakeside area, but no mention has been made about what candidates felt should be done about preparation for accidents involving trains. I remember hearing
a senior captain of the Surrey Fire Department saying that the most dreaded of fire calls would be one involving the rail yards, largely because no one really knew what was contained in the tank cars found there. Setting aside the debate on the underpass, just imagine what a derailment in the centre of our town would mean. I have wondered about this while walking along the lakeside trail as a train passes, just above. Say good-
bye, I suppose. Just imagine what a derailment of a train carrying unidentified liquid products would mean for our city. Oh wait, we do not have to imagine what that would mean, we already know. It has already occurred. Lac-Mégantic 01:15 EDT, on July 6, 2013. John Harper
Citizens need to be conscious of Canadian freedoms Over the past years I have been observing a decline in attendance at Remembrance Day services, as well as a focus by many people, young an old, on rights and liberties, without regard for everything that it took to get them, and what must be done to keep them. Recent events in our country have im-
proved awareness in our country, but more must be done... How many of us take our rights for granted? Our right to complain about anything and any one. Our right to publish our opinions without censorship.
Our right to disagree with our government. Our right to move freely across this gigantic country, and to take up residence anywhere within it that we choose. Gregg Pettitt
BC Hydro ‘legacy fees’ make a very poor impression Open letter to the people working for BC Hydro: I guess it’s my turn to feel the pressure. I learned yesterday of several people who had had their power disconnected due to their decision not to pay their legacy fees. Like the woman who called me last month, almost in tears, after receiving an automated “courtesy call” saying she would be disconnected if she didn’t pay up in full within 24 hours, I know that my husband and I can’t do without electricity. It was a sad day when the BC Utilities Commission agreed to your exorbitant fee of
almost $35 per month to read our very intelligent (but not “Smart”) meter every second month. It is interesting that Quebec residents who’ve opted to keep a safe meter (analogue or digital) on their homes pay only about $5 monthly for this same service. Many people have buckled under the financial pressure of these fees and succumbed to having the SmartMeter installed, despite the myriad of health issues studied by independent scientists and shown to be directly related to microwave radio frequencies; the fire hazard possibilities; and, of course, privacy and security issues.
I am not one of these people, but I am paying 8.5 per cent of my net pension payment each month for this legacy fee. The woman I referred to earlier did not know where she would get the money to pay her overdue fee. She told me it would have to come from her grocery and household budget. But I guess those SmartMeters need to be paid for. I know that there are real flesh and blood people who may read this letter at the corporate office: This is not the kind of legacy I wish to leave to the people I serve; do you? Shelley Corbin
Resident appreciates the early Christmas kindness A very kind-hearted stranger lurks. On Oct. 31, I found myself in a very difficult situation at the Mt. Ida Medical Clinic and could not afford my fee of $35. A total stranger, I
found to be Bob, stepped forward and paid my fee. I was so shocked, yet thankful. His response was Merry Christmas. I thank you, Bob, so very much, and Mer-
ry Christmas to you and all the best to you and yours in 2015. Janice Muir
Southwest Salmon Arm overlooked for Internet services I am writing in support of Robin Hickman’s letter in the Nov. 5 edition of the Observer. In June 2014 the Harper government announced $305 million in funding for private sector incentives to provide high-
speed Internet to areas of the country that did not already have access to high-speed Internet services. It seems strange to me that the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society and Telus chose to invest that money into fibre optics for areas of town
that already had cable and DSL access, while many of us in the SW quarter, that have neither cable or DSL, are overlooked once again. Ken McLeod

Family takes refuge from Wi-Fi By Martha Wickett OBSERVER STAFF
Samantha Boutet did not plan on becoming something of an expert on electromagnetic radiation. In fact, when her daughter became ill in 2009, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) was the last thing she considered. Her daughter, Amelia, nine at the time, began getting headaches and migraines every day. The family, which was living in the Lower Mainland at the time, had everything they could think of checked out – her eyes, her neck – but the doctor couldn’t figure out what was wrong. They realized the only time the headache vanished was for three or four days when the family went camping. “She continued to get worse and worse and worse at school,” says Boutet, explaining that along with the headaches, her daughter began experiencing heart palpitations, dizziness and an inability to concentrate. Boutet, a naturopath, began getting calls from the school, and teachers suggested perhaps it was anxiety. She was skeptical because her daughter hadn’t been showing any signs of anxiety at home. They eventually went to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, but a pediatrician there couldn’t explain the mi-

Then, by chance, Boutet was at a Halloween party where some parents were talking about a documentary on Wi-Fi in schools and how the electromagnetic radiation was making some children sick. Boutet watched the program and saw how children in Ontario and on Vancouver Island were being affected – and their symptoms matched her daughter’s. Boutet went to the classroom where her daughter had spent the previous year and saw there was a Wi-Fi router on the wall, about 20 feet away from where she had been sitting. Routers were also on the walls of the hallways, where her daughter’s dizziness was worse. Boutet said the signal in the school had to be stronger than
usual because there was so much cement to navigate. A trip to the school board generated no result, so Boutet eventually decided to take both her daughters out of school. “After two weeks, there was quite a good improvement… All symptoms decreased dramatically once we took her out of school.” She noted that the process for the school board was to register the complaint with their health and safety officer, who checks with Health Canada. Health Canada says Wi-Fi is safe, so the safety officer reports that to the
school board. Boutet notes that the International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as Group 2B, ‘possibly carcinogenic to humans.’ She likens the issue to that of tobacco in earlier days. There were no precautionary warnings on cigarette smoking until court cases forced the issue, she says. Meanwhile, regulatory bodies had been relying on research on cigarettes funded by the tobacco industry. Similarly, she says, the World Health Organization’s research comes from Motorola. Boutet has faced her share of skeptics, and she urges them to do independent research. “I ask them to think critically about the in-
dustry itself, think about tobacco, and I also ask them to think about their compassion.” Boutet notes people have strong emotional reaction to the suggestion that the proliferation of electromagnetic radiation might not be good for them. She suspects that’s because the addiction to technology is so widespread and people don’t like the idea of having to change their lifestyles. She says change would be healthier overall, particularly when there’s a connection between EMR and colony collapse in bees. “The right to have a clean environment is being taken away from us and we can’t really realize it.” Boutet took her convictions to a recent allcandidates meeting on microwave radiation, where she was asked to speak of her experiences. Her family moved away from the Lower Mainland to escape all the pollution from cell phone towers and Wi-Fi that spills nearly everywhere because of the density there. Her husband had to stay, though, in order to make a living. After several moves, Boutet’s family is living in the Shuswap. She was pleasantly surprised to find people here who take the issue seriously and whose homes are accessible and welcoming. “This is a better place for us as we have people who understand.”

Hospital campaign gets big kick-off Funds: Equipment made the difference when Laverne Dubois had a stroke. By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
The Shuswap Hospital Foundation kicked off the 2014-15 campaign with a couple of big boosts and an avid cheerleader. This year’s goal is $250,000 and is already at $75,000 thanks to a $10,000 donation presented by Norm Brown on behalf of the Rotary Club of Salmon Arm at the kick-off last Thursday and a $20,000 donation from the Salmon Arm Lions Club presented by John Lund the next day. Fiona Harris, the foundation’s director of development, was MC and following speeches by president Doug Murray and Shuswap Lake General Hospital administrator Peter Dutoit, Laverne Dubois shared her powerful story about surviving a stroke without after-effects, thanks to the community that raised $1.5 million in one year to purchase a CT scanner. Just over a year ago, the Sicamous resident suffered a stroke. Her husband realized what was happening and called for an ambulance that transported her to Salmon Arm. A CT scan revealed Dubois was a candidate for thrombolytic medication. Three days later, the active 71-yearold returned home with no physical or intellectual deficits. She required no special treatment or rehab and, other than feeling a
bit tired, she had no other symptoms. Today Dubois is feeling very lucky, not just to be alive, but healthy too. “If it wouldn’t have been for the CT scanner,” she says, noting the drugs had only become available a mere five months before her stroke. “If I can help in any way, I will. I owe them that much, a lot more than that. The hospital has been super good for me.” The Shuswap Hospital Foundation’s purpose is to raise funds for high priority patient care equipment – equipment whose operational costs Interior Health is willing to fund. The CT scanner was installed in the hospital in 2009 with a $205,000 upgrade added in August. The foundation is currently working to raise the final $72,000 to complete the purchase. Other items on the priority list include: two $17,810 Stryker stretchers, an $18,400 vein finder, a $60,000 blood analyzer, a $29,900 bariatric bed, among others. A recent $10,000 donation covered the cost of a Medi-Therm system, a patient warming and cooling system that will enable medical staff to ensure optimal patient temperature management during issues such as hypothermia (the body loses too much heat) or hyperthermia (the body is too warm). The Shuswap Hospital Foundation kiosk at the Mall at Piccadilly will now be open until Christmas for donations.
Bjorgan an everyday champion By Tracy Hughes OBSERVER STAFF
It’s an impressive title – Marla Bjorgan, everyday champion. Bjorgan, a Salmon Arm public health nurse, earned the accolade from the BC Patient Safety and Quality Council, as part of their BC Quality Awards program which celebrates extraordinary work in the health system. After being nominated, Bjorgan earned the title by garnering the most number of online votes. Described as creative, meticulous, caring, organized and inspiring, when Bjorgan took over the harm reduction portfolio, there were only basic resources available for both clients and nurses. Bjorgan created a
Marla Bjorgan PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE list of resources and programs, also adding a photo menu of harm reduction options for clients with lower literacy skills. She also developed a resource binder for staff and community providers in the North Okanagan. In the quality awards presentation, it notes, “Marla has been a master at engaging her local community to increase access to safer injection, inhalation and sex supplies – and in doing
so she has shown how using a community development process has the ability to change the health outcomes of a population at risk.” From supporting families with newborn babies to her work in the immunization program, Bjorgan was also recognized for striving to provide the best care possible. “Marla is also known in her community as the nurse with the remote-controlled bubble machine that she uses to soothe the many toddlers and children who come to her for immunizations,” states the presentation. Winners are awarded a $2,500 sponsorship to help support or disseminate learning from their projects and will be presented with a plaque in a ceremony on Feb. 18, 2015.

Crime Stoppers coupons legit They’re real and they’re legit. North Okanagan Shuswap Crime Stoppers Society has again teamed up with Four Elements Consulting Inc. to promote a coupon booklet aimed at raising funds for the Crime Stoppers’ organization. “The funds raised by this campaign go a long
way to keep our program running throughout the year,” said society co-ordinator Gord Molendyk. The door-to-door sales people will have identification and will be wearing a yellow jacket with a Crime Stoppers logo on one side and their company logo on the other side. The marketers will
be canvassing the entire North Okanagan Shuswap Crime Stoppers coverage region, from Vernon to Sicamous. The coupon booklet includes almost $700 in savings for such organizations as the Salmon Arm Silverbacks hockey club, Eagle River Golf Course and white water rafting in Clearwater.

SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Helps to reduce the time it takes to fall a sleep. In most cases also stops snoring and gasping for air (sleep apnea) first night. Stops torturing your partner all night. Good sleep prevents being tired next day. Tired people work only at half capacity. What people truly experience: < I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 NPN 80027595 #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

Sunnybrae residents want land used for park By Barb Brouwer
OBSERVER STAFF
A request for support by Sunnybrae residents to turn 19.5 hectares of waterfront industrial land into a conservation park will be addressed by a new board. In an Oct. 21 email to Columbia Shuswap Regional District chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton and Area C director Paul Demenok, Rachel and Ian Sudbury asked the regional district to consider establishing the park at an area adjacent to Herald Provincial Park comprised of about six acres of lightly cleared industrial waterfront and 14 acres of untouched semi-waterfront forest, and a provincially leased 25.53-acre aquatic log ...the maintenance boom. of this corridor The couple noted the area has long been used may be critical for as a log boom for temspecies survival, porary storage prior to distribution among land and lake transporvarious habitat tation of timber and that the parcel has been val- areas and ultimately ecosystem viability ued at $2.9 million. The couple describe and resilience. the property as a “heavily trafficked wildlife corridor,” with a groundwater aquifer Rachel and Ian that provides a water source for a variety of Sudbury wildlife species. SUNNYBRAE “In an area where the RESIDENTS vast majority of surrounding areas have been developed for human use, the maintenance of this corridor may be critical for species survival, distribution among various habitat areas and ultimately, ecosystem viability and resilience,” they write. Among the benefits listed in their letter is that the park would make the lake more accessible to more people and provide an excellent eco-tourism opportunity. The Sudburys also express concern that CSRD planning staff have indicated to them several large developers have expressed interest in purchasing and developing the property as high density residential. Directors at the Nov. 13 meeting agreed unanimously to refer the letter to CSRD staff to be brought back the board at a later date. 10.375" X to2.857 PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until December 1, 2014.

Bantam ’Tips victorious in tournament
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Hand off: Chargers quarterback Jayden Mourato hands the ball off to running back Bladen Stephens during the Southern Interior Football League championship game last Sunday at Little Mountain Field.
Chargers dominate title game The Salmon Arm bantam Chargers football team played the Kelowna Lions in the Southern Interior Football League championship game last Sunday at Little Mountain Field. During the regular season, the two teams each won a game against each other. It was fitting that the final game of the season would be played between the league’s two best teams in one last rubber match.
The Charger’s defence was dominant with Matthew Nesdoly and Noah Dies leading the charge from their defensive end positions. Numerous turnovers forced by the Chargers seriously hampered the Lion’s ability to mount any sustained attack. Offensively, quarterback Jayden Mourato scored two majors along the ground. Hayden Henning, Tyler Chartier and Bladen Stephens also scored touchdowns, rounding out the offensive push.
Quality & Service Since 1929
The game turned out to be very onesided, with the Chargers pulling off a 45-7 victory. The Chargers now move on to the provincial championship game, which will be held at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops on Saturday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m. The peewee Colts finished off a great season last Sunday in Kelowna.

The Salmon Arm Scotiabank bantam tier two Silvertips invited nine talented teams from around the province to their 2014 tournament at the Shaw Centre last weekend. The ’Tips kicked off their tournament against Nelson. Salmon Arm started the second period with a 1-0 lead, and the period finished 4-2 in favour of the Silvertips. The third period saw the momentum turn Nelson’s way, and Salmon Arm was unable to recover, losing 5-4 in their tournament opener. The ’Tips started Saturday off with a bang, disposing of Prince George 9-2. In the second game on Saturday, the ’Tips continued to score at will, putting eight past Maple Ridge in the 8-2 win. Salmon Arm faced off against Kamloops in the semifinal matchup on Sunday. There was nothing to separate the teams as they finished regulation time knotted up at one. Overtime did not solve anything so the game headed to a shootout, where the ’Tips were the eventual winners, booking a spot in the finals against Trail. Entering the game, Trail was the only team that Salmon Arm had yet to beat this season. Both teams started the game tentatively, struggling to find scoring chances. The first goal of the game finally arrived courtesy of Salmon Arm at 12:17 of the second period, but was quickly cancelled out by Trail. The game was tied up at one heading in to the final period of the tournament. The Silvertips took the lead midway through the third, and didn’t look back as they would go on to score one more goal, winning 3-1. Salmon Arm scored 26 goals and only allowed 11 in the tournament’s five games.

The Silverbacks picked up three important points during their three-game home stand, which was billed as Parents Weekend. On Friday night, the ’Backs hosted the Island Division’s bottom dwellers, Cowichan Valley Capitals. Salmon Arm’s Josh Blanchard scored on a short-handed penalty shot, which opened up a flurry of scoring midway through the first frame. Only 13 seconds later, Logan Mick doubled the lead for the Silverbacks, and Colton Thibault added another only 67 seconds after Mick’s marker. The Capitals fought back in the second period when Cowichan’s leading goal scorer Kyle Horsman and Adam Osczevski cut Salmon Arm’s lead to just one in the second period. Eight minutes into the third period Blanchard scored his second of the game, while on the man advantage. “It was good to finally put a couple in,
and also to get a win too,” said the Silverbacks’ Blanchard. Both teams went 25 per cent on the power play. Carson Bolduc put the game out of reach for Cowichan when he scored his ninth goal of the season, finding the empty net. “I thought we had a really good start, obviously we got out to that three-tonothing lead, then we decided to have a nap in the second,” said ‘Backs assistant coach Misko Antisin. “In the third we came back strong and absolutely dominated.” Before Friday’s game, the Silverbacks acquired Josh Laframboise from the Penticton Vees in exchange for BCHL-CHL list rights to Connor Chartier. “With us having four forwards out with injuries right now we needed to add a skilled forward. Josh already has a NCAA commitment with the University of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs for two years out and this helps us for this year and next,” said Silverbacks general manager Troy Mick.

Traffic in front: The Silverbacks Shane Danyluk looks for a deflection in front of Merritt’s goaltender Jonah Imoo during Saturday’s game at the Shaw Centre. Merritt won 4-3. “My job now is to find out what my role is with the Silverbacks, and hopefully keep doing what I’ve been doing so far this year,” said Laframboise. The Regina native, Laframboise made his debut for the gorillas on Saturday night against the visiting Interior Division rivals, Merritt Centennials. “We didn’t get enough accomplished in the offensive zone to take over the game,” said Silverbacks head coach Brandon West. The ’Backs started
the second period up by a goal, but gave up four goals in the frame. “We definitely came out in the second period flat, and that was the story of the game,” West said. Shane Danyluk would add a consolation goal with two minutes remaining in the game, the final score was 4-3 for Merritt. Sunday’s matinee saw the Coquitlam Express pay a visit to the Shaw Centre. Karl El-Mir, Carson Bolduc and Phil Middleton each scored in
Sunday’s 3-3 draw. Zach Dyment was in goal earning his sixth start of the season. The Silverbacks start a three-game road swing this Friday in Powell River, then head to Cowichan Valley and Chilliwack on Saturday and Sunday. Powell River has two players in the BCHL’s top five scoring – Jarid Lukosevicius and Kurt Keats. Salmon Arm’s next home game is Friday, Nov. 28 at 7 p.m., when they play host to Vernon.
Colts hold heads high despite loss in final Continued from A15 “ little team that could” managed to beat the odds and finished second overall in the Southern Interior Football League. The Colts, finished the regular season with a record of 5-1.
They dominated play through the first two rounds of playoffs but came up short against the Kelowna Lions in the championship game. The undefeated Lions came out strong and overpowered the Colts to take an early
lead in the first half. Despite several players being injured the Colts managed a comeback in the second half. With time running out the Colts were unable to catch the Lions. With heads held high, the Colts shook hands and congratu-
lated their opponents, wishing them luck in the provincial finals next Sunday in Kamloops. “Football is the ultimate team sport. Sometimes in life, you get the chance to do something great with a special group of people
– and this was one of those times,” said Colts head coach Andrew Van Dokkumburg. “The kids worked their tails off this year and really set themselves apart as a special group of people. We are very proud of how they played.”

The first event, on Friday, Nov. 28, will be a free Try – It Day at the recreation centre for kids from two to 14 to try a variety of sports and movement skills. There will be tennis, basketball shooting,
baseball batting and soccer shooting, along with movement testing in sprints, vertical jump and flexibility. The event is divided into two age groups, 1 to 3 p.m. for preschoolers and homeschooled children, and 3 to 5 p.m. for schoolaged children. Nov. 28 is also Jersey Day so wear your sport jersey to show pride in your favourite team. Starting in January, there will be Get Active programs for six to nine year olds and Tot Sports for three to five year olds.
These two programs will be focusing on the fundamental movements required for children to become active for life. Running, jumping, throwing, batting and catching are the key fundamental movements. Basic sport skills will be introduced but the main focus is mastering the fundamental movements. These programs will be offered at reduced rates due to the support through the RBC Learn to Play Project. More information on these programs will be
in the Winter 2015 Fun Guide due to come out on Friday, Nov. 28. The initiative also wants to support community leaders who work with young children in a physically active setting. Whether you are a sport coach, day care leader or school teacher, a Fundamental Movement Workshop is being offered for free at the rec centre on Sunday, Jan. 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Register early as space is limited. For more information, call Donna at 250-832-4044.

War on Ebola
Humanitarian catastrophe: Learn about the virus and donate to help stop the outbreak.
By Barb Brouwer OBSERVER STAFF
E
bola may seem like a faraway health problem. But one local doctor, who was worked in Africa with Médecins San Frontières (MSF) on several occasions, is asking residents to learn about the deadly virus and donate funds to the organization that is currently caring for victims of the disease in Liberia. A fundraising showing of Ebola War, a documentary by David Belluz, will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 30 at the Salmar Classic Theatre. The 45-minute film documents how doctors and nurses in Uganda courageously treated Ebola victims in the outbreak of 2000. “It focuses on rural doctors and how they faced it and the stigma of the disease, and how they to worked in the Ebola ward knowing they were under-resourced and didn’t have the protection they needed,” says Currie, who notes a Canadian filmmaker who was working in Uganda on another project at the time elected to document the local response. Babu Stanley, one of the nurses in the film, got the disease and survived it. He now works for MSF in Liberia and will take part in a question-and-answer period via Skype, following the film. Former MSF health professionals and aid workers will also take part in the session and high school students will demonstrate protective gear. Currie, who is organizing the Nov. 30 event, believes there is still a window of opportunity in which to shut the outbreak down. “It’s not the first outbreak of Ebola, but it’s the worst by a magnitude of about 10,” he says, pointing out outbreaks have been successfully stopped before. “For me, the compelling reason is the

If we can stop this at its source, we can keep it from crossing our borders.” Catching the virus is difficult for someone who is not in direct contact with someone who has the disease. It doesn’t travel by air but is transferred through body fluids – vomit, feces or blood. On an object like a door handle, the virus would be live for about four hours, says Currie, but up to four days after death on a body. He says the current outbreak is revealing a 70 per cent mortality rate. “What’s really important is this is more than a medical disease; yes, we have 14,000 people with the disease, but this is a humanitarian catastrophe in terms of the impact on the economy and the health-care system and access to food,” says Currie. “We have to remember that many people in these areas live on subsistence wages; they earn a small daily wage and use it to buy food they eat that day.” Currie says the concept of a 21-day quarantine to make sure an individual has not contracted the disease doesn’t work when they have no food and no money. “They can’t work or buy food and this is where we need to expand our focus,” he

Stanley will take part in a Nov. 30 fundraiser at the Salmar Classic via Skype. says. “Medical practice has to meet the demands of survival. We need to provide support to an entire community that is devastated by the outbreak.” Currie points out that prior to the outbreak, Liberia had about 50 or 60 doctors working in the entire country, which is about the number of physicians practising in Salmon Arm. He says more than 500 health-care workers in the three West African countries where the outbreak is occurring have contracted the disease. “When you think of the long-term impacts after the outbreak is finished, it’s gutted the health-care system,” says Currie. “MSF is the largest organization (in Liberia) with more than 3,000 people working on Ebola
playing at the GRAND 100 Hudson Avenue
projects, with a total of more than 600 inpatient isolation beds.” MSF is an international, independent, medical humanitarian relief organization that provides emergency care to people affected by disaster, conflict, epidemics and those excluded from healthcare. MSF works independently of political, religious or military agendas, delivering medical assistance based on human need. Admission to the Salmon Arm fundraising event is by donation by cash or cheque, with tax receipts available for donations of more than $10. There will also be a bake sale. People who are unable to attend the fundraiser but still wish to donate, may do so online at www.msf.ca/en/donate-now.

Sharing passion for nature The Shuswap Photo Arts Club will have a special guest in awardwinning, B.C. nature photographer Norm Dougan. Dougan will present some of his outstanding nature and wildlife photographs from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24 at the Seniors’ Fifth Avenue Activity Centre. Dougan is passionate about nature and loves the outdoors. Just over nine years ago he purchased his first digital camera. Now retired, he uses much of his time to pursue this passion. Patience and a good understanding of photographic principles has allowed him to capture

prize in the 2013 Canadian Association for Photographic Art 4-Nations Competition. photos of many natural events and animals in settings most of us never see. His wife, Carrie, is his constant companion
and not only encourages his pursuits, but is frequently the catalyst that makes many of these photos happen. While a member of
the Kamloops Photo Arts Club, Norm received a prestigious ‘Honourable Mention’ in the ‘Great Backyard Bird Count 2012 for his image of a common redpoll and a Second Place Honours in the composition category. This North American competition is sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon and Bird Studies of Canada. There were 6,000 entries. In 2013 he received another international award, placing second in the Nature category in the 4-Nations Competition. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The Shuswap Branch of the Canadian Society of Questers presents a special online presentation – “Bust Free From Fear and Manifest Your Big Dreams” with Tammra Broughton at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19 at the Downtown Activity Centre. Broughton is the founder of Living Proof Life and has 20 years of experience working in the holistic health field. After experiencing debilitating anxiety that often left her afraid to leave the house, she
decided to seek out the bigger answers to life. She was able to break through this anxiety and manifest the life of her dreams. Her talks are engaging, funny, informative and provide tips and tools that people can use immediately. “If you’re encountering blocks in your path to consciousness, and if manifesting the dream seems rather overwhelming, then this presentation is for you, the dreamer, the visionary, the risk taker
or the change maker,” says Hugh Tyhson. “If you have a deeper sense of knowing that your purpose is to serve others and the world in a bigger way but just haven’t found the way to get from here to there, Broughton believes it’s not as much of an outwardly ‘todo’ kind of change as much as it is an inward awareness that makes real and lasting shifts – and it doesn’t have to be a painful transition.” This presentation will be for those want-

Get ready to tap your toes and laugh as the Louisiana Hayride rolls into town Nov. 20, bringing the music of Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Roy Orbison and Tammy Wynette back to life. Established in 1948, the Louisiana Hayride was a musical variety show performed at the Shreveport, Louisiana Municipal Auditorium and broadcast live over KWKH Radio. It was best known for giving unknown artists
a chance to perform; artists such as Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Faron Young and even Elvis Presley. “That show comes back to life with the extraordinary vocal ability and superb musicianship of the cast of this Louisiana Hayride Tribute Show,” says creator and producer Lori Risling, who offers a behind-thescenes look at the artists being portrayed. “You’ll be taken back in time and ex-
perience what was one of the most influential shows in music history.” The cast of multitalented musicians includes William Brookfield on double keyboard, guitar and banjo, and vocals in songs by Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Waylon Jennings. Mike Melnichuk adds stand-up bass, electric guitar and smooth-as-silk vocals in songs by Faron Young, Red Foley and Merle Haggard. Gil
Risling adds electric and acoustic guitar and vocals as Willie Nelson and Roy Orbison. Back to reprise his role as Hank Williams is Patrick Ryley. New to this show will be a tribute to Glen Campbell. The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20 at the SASCU Rec Centre. Tickets are available at Touch A Texas, Wearabouts or www.ticketseller.ca.

Shuswap Society For Arts & Culture board member Kari Wilkinson is asking residents to visit the Aviva Community Fund website and vote daily until Nov. 24 to get the Shuswap Centre for the Performing Arts into the semifinal round. “We are heavily routing through our Facebook page to raise awareness and get votes so we can get into a new round of voting Dec. 1 to Dec. 10,” says Wilkinson, noting the top-40 ideas receive $5,000. The $5,000 would be put towards the society’s business and operating plans, something society members are currently researching. “And we need an economic-impact study
completed because, for this to be successful and to get city council approval, we have to have a well-researched, sustainable business and operating plan,” Wilkinson says, explaining Lana Fitt from the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society is guiding society members. Wilkinson says the society is hoping to attract new members and further diversify the skills at the board table. “We’re looking for community partners in the sense we may need their expertise in running a large non-profit business,” she adds. “We may need their expertise in governance and how we best move this forward because this has to be built on a best-practices model.” Part of the business
plan is to define potential tenants and day users, another aspect board members are investigating. “We are researching other performing art centres in western Canada to find out what’s working for them and what’s not working, and how we can arrive at what will work best in the Shuswap and be sustainable,” she adds. If the performing arts centre gets enough votes to make it to the finals, the payoff could be as much as $50,000 to $100,000 – money that would complete business and operating plans and enable the creation of site plans. To vote, visit the Shuswap Society for Arts & Culture’s Facebook page, which has a direct link to their idea on the Aviva website.

SCHINDLER, GORDON EMIL After a courageous battle with cancer Gordon Emil Schindler passed away in the early hours of Wednesday, November 5, 2014 at the age of 64 years. He is survived by his loving and dedicated wife of 43 years, Wendy, two sons, Bryan (Jody) of Maple Ridge, Keith (Karen) of Port Alberni, granddaughter Lily Fletcher of Grand Prairie, sister Margaret Wright of Pitt Meadows, brothers, Bob (Marilyn) and Dan of Salmon Arm and a host of other relatives throughout British Columbia. Gord was born in Kamloops, BC on August 21, 1950, residing most of his life in Salmon Arm where he met the love of his life Wendy and raised his two children. He worked with the BC Government Liquor Store for 36 years, followed by 5 years managing Setter’s Cold Beer and Wine Store developing many friendships with his customers along the way. In his younger days he was active with sports, excelling in baseball and hockey. He was an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs supporting them during the good and bad times. In later years Gord loved golf and curling, and was an active member of both the Salmon Arm Golf Club and Salmon Arm Curling Club. A celebration of life will be held from the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm on Saturday afternoon, November 29th at 2 p.m. with Jack Bowers the funeral celebrant. A reception will follow in the Mountainside Room at Bowers, allowing time to continue sharing memories and stories of Gord. Interment to follow at a later date in Mt. Ida Cemetery, Salmon Arm. Online condolences may be sent to Gord’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com. Funeral arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium.
ROBERTS, OLIVER EDRIC DAVID Oliver Edric David Roberts, affectionately known as “Dave” completed his life project of 90 years on November 7, 2014. He is now pursuing his hobbies on another plane. The family wishes to thank Dr. Acheson and the staff at Mount Ida Mews. Dave is survived by his sister “Frank,” and his best friend Joe Wehle, and a large extended family of Robinsons, McKenzies and Armstrongs. DOREEN McCAIG Doreen Gloria McCaig passed away suddenly at her residence at the age of 79 years. A celebration of life will be held on November 28, 2014 in the Mountainside Room at Bowers Funeral Home from 3 until 5 pm. Jack Bowers, a long time friend, is the celebrant, and tributes and anecdotes will be shared by friends. The deBoer girls will sing special songs as part of the celebration. Cremation will be followed by a private interment in Mt. Ida cemetery with her husband Bruce who predeceased her in 2004. Doreen was born in Vegreville, AB on October 7, 1935. The family later moved to Grimshaw. She married Bruce McCaig in 1954 and they relocated from Calgary to Salmon Arm in 1958. She first worked at the Bank of Commerce prior to opening her flower shop, the House of Flowers, in 1974. Left to remember Doreen are her special friends Gary and Cheryl as well as a cousin by marriage Muriel Murrant of Peace River. Additionally, there are more people that can be counted who enjoyed her loyal long time friendship. Doreen gained great respect for her artistic ability with flowers and for her prowess and love of baking. Her pies, cakes and bread earned her many awards at the Fall Fair, where she convened the baking section for many years. She loved hosting dinner parties, both casual evenings with friends and extravagant dinners complete with hand written menus and fabulous table settings. Of course the evening would not have been complete without suitable beverages. A very few lucky brides also had their wedding cakes prepared by Doreen. She was an avid reader and very proud of her skills as a wordsmith. She was a well-rounded reader with wide ranging interests. Her full size, unabridged dictionary held pride of place in her living room. Her extensive library brought her a great deal of satisfaction. A love of animals was Doreen’s trademark. She was especially fond of marmalade cats but no matter the colour any stray cat received her love, a home and veterinary care. Doreen had a sense of humour like no other and she always said if you couldn’t laugh, especially at yourself, there was no use in living. Her idea of humour closely paralleled that of Maxine, her favourite cartoon character. This attribute stood her in good stead when facing the challenges that life threw at her. She lived life on her own terms and fiercely defended her right to make her own decisions. Doreen was not shy at showing her enthusiasm for living life with passion and sharing her opinions. She often expressed her gratitude to those who helped her remain in her home. Memorial donations in memory of Doreen may be sent to the Shuswap Branch of the SPCA or to the Shuswap Community Foundation. Email condolences may be sent to Doreen’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com . Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.

RUBY BRIDGE (nee Widmark) Florence Ruby Anna was born to parents Olaf and Hilma Widmark on March 9, 1926. She was the ‘tail end’ of a family of 5 kids, having 3 brothers, Stanley, Walter and Harold and one sister Opal. Her father homesteaded the farm property at Balmoral with her grandfather, who had both emigrated from Sweden. Her mother’s family were also from Sweden, and had started off their new world adventure in Minnesota, and then moved north to the Falun area of Alberta. Ruby’s family was raised on the farm. Family income was supplemented by work in lumber mills, hewing railway ties, selling block ice from the pond and sales of milk and cream. Ruby went to school as a young child at the old Balmoral School, now located at O’Keefe Ranch near Vernon. She attended school and reached Grade 9 before beginning to work as a cook in a variety of locations, sometimes in fishing or logging camps and also at the Montebello Hotel and York Café in Salmon Arm. She went to stay with her Grandma Olson in Wetaskiwin AB and to work at the Brightview Store, where she met the love of her life, George ‘Nip’ Bridge. They were married at St. Mary’s Church in Sorrento in 1950 after Nip’s parents, Lester and Harriet bought the small orchard where Sorrento Hardware is now located. Ruby and Nip started a family in 1951, and by 1954 had moved back to the farm to help Ruby’s mother. Her mother lived with the Ruby and Nip for 15 years until her death. Ruby remained living on the original homestead until 2013 when she moved to Lakeside Manor. Ruby and Nip farmed together, cut railway ties, ran a trail riding business and made a life together surrounded by their family and a wide network of farming friends. They enjoyed the Old Time Dance Club and socializing as well as working hard on the farm. Ruby was a fiercely independent and capable woman, especially when faced with continuing on after the death of Nip in an industrial accident in 1983. She learned how to drive a car at the age of 56. With her brother, sister, their spouses and friends she did a few memorable bus tours and cruises. In later years Ruby enjoyed her grandchildren, painting, gardening, making music, skiing, walking and skating on the pond. She loved having neighbors and family drop by for coffee and her wonderful meals and baking. She loved to cook for large family events and make soup for the White Lake New Horizons club gatherings and drive her friend Lena shopping and to social events. Ruby passed away November 12, 2014 and is survived by her 3 children, Judy (Marv) Southwick, Jack (Maureen) Bridge, Cherilyn (John) Drew, 8 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. She will be greatly missed by all her family, as well as extended relatives and friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Adele Preto and Dr. Angela Plessis for their many years of care as well as the staff at Lakeside Manor, Piccadilly Care and the Hospice Society. In lieu of flowers donations to the Shuswap Hospice Society or the local Red Cross Loan Cupboard are encouraged.

She was predeceased by her daughter Karin in 2011, sisters Erna and Brunhilde of Germany. Elvira was born in Eigenfeld, Bessarabia (today part of Moldova and Ukraine). Mom was an excellent cook and spent hours knitting and crocheting sweaters and dresses for her children and herself. She traveled throughout Southern Germany as a food demonstrator and was proud to relate her experiences. She spent most of her life in Germany and moved to Salmon Arm with her husband in 1994. She enjoyed German folk music and loved to sing along. She also enjoyed watching Steiner Theatre videos that her daughter Karin spent hours recording. We want a special thanks to go out to the staff at Bastion Special Care Unit for the loving care she received and also to Dr. Heunis for his support. As a Jehovah’s Witness she believed in the biblical hope of a future resurrection back to human life in paradise here on earth. We look forward to seeing her then, in health and happiness. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129. Email condolences and share memories at www.fischersfuneralservices.com.

PUDDIFANT, GEORGE ALFRED George Alfred Puddifant passed away peacefully at home in Salmon Arm, BC, on Tuesday, November 11, 2014, at the age of 82 with his wife of 63 years, Edna, at his side. George was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on April 1, 1932. George was married at 19 years of age to the love of his life, Edna Campbell, and moved to Ontario where George and Edna welcomed two of their five children, Linda and Carol. While living in Ontario George worked at the Steep Rock Iron Mines. When the mine shut down George moved his family back to his roots in Manitoba where the couple welcomed two more children, Bob and Judy. George first worked installing terrazzo flooring but being a very hard worker and dedicated to providing a good living for his family, then moved on to work for the federal penitentiary in Stony Mountain, Manitoba. During this time George studied engineering by correspondence from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology where he earned his level 2 certification while working shift work and raising a young family. After several years at the Stony Mountain Penitentiary, George had the opportunity for promotion and he and Edna travelled by train with the kids to Abbotsford, BC, where George had a new employment opportunity at the Matsqui Penitentiary. They then welcomed their fifth child, daughter Kim. While living in Abbotsford, George was involved in the community by coaching hockey and baseball. George was a wonderful man, a loving husband, dedicated and caring father, grandfather and friend and touched many hearts during his lifetime. He was always ready with a humourous story or two and loved being a part of a large family. He played many card games over the years with his children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by his wife of 63 years, Edna, daughter Linda Peters (Henry), son Bob Puddifant (Barb), daughter Judy McCarthy (Grant) and daughter Kim Anderson (Mark). George was predeceased by his wonderful daughter, Carol DeVeer, in 2003. George is also survived by 11 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Osteoporosis Society and/or the Osteoarthritis Society.

Lost & Found EXCELLENT MAYOR CANDIDATE FOUND! On Nov 15th vote for IAN WICKETT for sensible,conscientious, thoughtful leadership. Authorized by K.Dukeshire www.ianwickettmayor.ca FOUND in Chase a fly fishing rod to claim phone Andrew at (250)679-2393 My daughter is 4 years old and she has lost her stuffed bunny rabbit. This is the stuffy who went everywhere with her. Although it appears she didn’t come home with us the last time. We’re not sure if it was lost in Vernon or Salmon Arm, as we were both cities that day. The bunny is similar to the bunny in the book “The Bunny’s Tale”, except our missing bunny shows signs of being loved a lot. She’s brown and white with a faded blue bow and white tail. If anyone could help reunite the bunny with my daughter, I would be very grateful. (250)379-2556 (250)938-4135

250 833-1129 DAVID FREDERICK BROADFOOT “FRED” October 25 1921 – October 31 2014
Fred passed away peacefully at the age of 93. He was pre deceased by Edie his beloved wife of 70 years. He is survived by his daughter Carol (Tom) and sons Doug (Colleen) Glen (Helen) grandchildren: Adam, Terra, Amy, Darren, Christine and greatgrandchildren: Noah, Meghan, Ryan, Jayden and Luke who all lovingly cherish his memory. Fred was born in Winnipeg. He and Edie met when he was 17 and it was love at first sight. They were married May 1, 1943 and he considered her to be his greatest inspiration throughout his life. Fred was a WWII Veteran and enlisted in the RCAF in 1942; he served overseas with the rank of Flying Officer with “Snowy Owl Squadron 420”. His plane was shot down in March 1945 and he was a POW for 33 days. Although wounded, happily he returned home safely. In 1945 Fred and Edie moved to Vancouver and Fred began his 29 year career as a Postal Officer. He later transferred to Kamloops and retired to Chase in 1977. Fred and Edie shared many wonderful adventures and travels together. They shared a love of nature and the outdoors. Fred enjoyed fishing and perfected the art of fly tying. He loved canoeing and he and Edie paddled many of the rivers and lakes of BC, including the Bowron Lakes Chain. In the early days in Winnipeg they would take their canoe “Dinah “along with a gramophone and a brick of ice cream for a day of paddling. During those days they would spend time at Grande Beach where one of the highlights was dancing to the Big Bands. Fred also enjoyed hunting, camping, oil painting, wine making and traveling; he especially liked Mexico for its culture and its people. He built the family cabin at Heffley Lake where we spent many wonderful times with family and friends. He also built bird houses for the Swallows in Chase and looked forward to their return each year. He had a real affinity for animals and although he didn’t have the opportunity to do it often enough, he loved horseback riding. Dad’s greatest love was for his family and spending time with us. He made us all feel cherished. He was renowned for his wonderful warm, loving “bear hugs”. He taught us to always respect and love one another. Dad we love you so much and will miss you dearly. We take comfort in knowing you and Mum are together again. Celebration of life will be held at their home for the family November 15 2014.
