Obituary
Thomas Norman Hudson
With deep sorrow we announce his passing on December 31, 2017, at his home in Chase, BC, with love and support from his wife Celia Hudson by his side. Predeceased by his father Alford Gordon Hudson in 2001. Eldest son of Violet (Christy) and Alford Hudson of Anglemont, BC, Tom was born July 13, 1946, at Kamloops BC, and grew up with sister Dawn Koch and brother Gordon Hudson in Chase BC. He had many fond memories of his childhood and close family connections. A graduate of BCIT and member of AScT BC Tom also spent time working for Greyhound Canada and running an Irrigation business with lifetime friend Fraser (Lynne) David. During the build of the Coquihalla Highway, Tom worked as a heavy equipment operator and he drove the steam roller and packed down the road that enters into Kamloops from the Chase side. He retired as a gas fitter working for K-West Mechanical. Dad was stoic, practical, patient and loving father who taught many important life skills and passed on his common sense to us kids in his quiet and contemplative style. He made you feel very special when he cooked his pancakes for breakfast. The grandkids know his are the best! Left to cherish wonderful memories are his mother Violet Hudson and Bill Lempky, wife Celia Hudson (Leanne Sharpe and Dennis Doyle), his 5 children and 8 grandchildren: Gina Davison (Farrell, Liam and Rose Hudson); Michael (Trish) Hudson (Zoe Hudson); Jodi (Steve) James (Sawyer and Ivar James); Amanda (Luke) Towns (Malia and Morgan Towns); and Robert Hudson. His brother Gordon (Chris) Hudson (Blaine, Reed and Shawna Hudson) and his sister Dawn Koch (Chris and Laurel Koch). Private family service to follow in Spring 2018.

CAMPAIGN BUILDS SUPPORT, FOR RESIDENTS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA
submitted Chase residents will next month be asked to join a national awareness campaign to challenge public perceptions of what it means to live with dementia. January is national Alzheimer Awareness Month. The 2018 campaign aims to convert judgment into compassion and assumptions into understanding so that people with dementia feel supported in the local community. Dementia is one of the country’s most pressing health issues. The Society offers a variety of assistance to area families and other caregivers, such as the First Link® Dementia Helpline. It can be reached at 1-800-936-6033. The regional Alzheimer Resource Centre can connect residents to support groups, including ones that can be accessed by telephone, educational seminars and workshops, and programs that help people live well with dementia. The Society also provides useful resources for health care professionals. For more information visit www. alzheimerbc.org.

Interior Health confirms case of meningococcal disease submitted by Interior Health
Interior Health (IH) has confirmed another case of meningococcal disease within the health authority. While this most recent case is outside of the Okanagan region, those persons at highest risk continue to be residents of the Okanagan who are between the ages of 15-19 or in grades 9-12. IH continues to recommend that this high risk group be immunized against meningococcal disease. Earlier this month, Interior Health declared an outbreak of meningococcal disease for the Okanagan for 15-19 year olds, due to an increasing number of cases present in the region. Immunizations have been offered at public health centres
