Case of missing Merritt man still a mysteryFamily searching for answers a year after disappearance

It has been a harrowing year for the family of a local man who went missing one year ago.

Dean Morrison, then a 44-year-old father of three, disappeared after leaving his workplace at Stump Lake Ranch on Oct. 22, 2013.

Morrison sometimes stayed with his sister on his days off, but by Oct. 28, she had still not heard from him and reported him missing to the RCMP.

RCMP conducted an air and ground search on Oct. 31, 2013, but came up empty.

A community-organized ground search on Nov. 13, 2013 also turned up nothing.

“There have been several searches and we haven’t come up with anything,” Morrison’s mother, Elizabeth Faber, said. “Everybody misses him and we just would like to know... It would be nice to hear or know something.”

Morrison’s missing person file has since been transferred to the Kamloops RCMP. He is described as Caucasian, five-foot-six, 140 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a quilted black jacket and work pants.

Anyone with information on Morrison’s disappearance is

asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-314-1800.

In the year since Morrison’s disappearance, the family has experienced more hardship. His sister, Michelle, passed away in late August.

“My daughter and my son — I lost both of them within one year,” Faber said.

The day before her service, Michelle’s 23-year-old son Jordan fell ill and was taken to hospital. He spent two weeks in the hospital with meningitis and left the hospital with only partial vision.

Faber said doctors told her the meningitis may have pro-voked a dormant degenerative disease.

Jordan is now staying with his grandmother in Vancouver and is still trying to recover his eyesight.

“Almost every day, we’ve e been to doctor’s offices in Van-couver,” she said.

Faber said recovering Jor-dan’s eyesight is a priority for the family right now.

“Sometimes it just helps to take the focus off something else,” she said.

Faber said her family is thankful for all of the sup-port they’ve received over the last year. Still, she said staying strong is tough.

“There’s just so much trau-ma in the family. It’s hard to deal with it all.”

A gunman shot and killed a soldier who was standing guard at the Canadian War Memorial in Ottawa on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

The gunman then went to Parliament Hill, where he was reportedly killed after trading shots with Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms.

Multiple shots were fired within the halls of the Parliament building.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper was safely removed from Parliament Hill, and his events for the day cancelled. Liberal

leader Justin Trudeau and NDP leader Thomas Mulcair were also reported safe.

MPs were locked down inside the build-ings as police searched for any other gunmen involved in the attack.

The attack on Parliament Hill took place two days after two soldiers in Quebec were inten-tionally run down in a car driven by 25-year-old Martin Couture-Rouleau, who was one of 90 suspected extremists being watched by the RCMP.

Couture-Rouleau led police on a

chase and was shot and killed when he emerged from his crashed vehicle with a knife in his hand.

The attack on Parliament Hill occurred just before 7 a.m. local time.

At the B.C. legis-lature on Wednesday, extra guards were stationed at each entrance. Tourists and members of the public were prohibited from entering, but pre-booked school tours were allowed to enter the build-ing. The situation in Ottawa was ongoing as of the Herald’s press deadline.

City council is taking steps to prohibit asphalt plants in heavy industrial M2 zoning.

At its regular meet-ing on Oct. 14, council decided by a 5-2 vote to amend new draft zoning bylaw 2134 to prohibit asphalt processing as a permitted use in areas zoned for heavy indus-trial use.

Other heavy indus-trial uses of M2 zoning would still be permitted, including auto wreck-ing and storage, and the processing of wood products, concrete, rock, sand, gravel and ready-mix.

Council made its decision after discuss-ing the issue during last Tuesday’s public hear-ing.

Coun. Kurt Chris-topherson initially brought the amendment to the forefront He told

reporters outside council chambers after the coun-cil meeting that having an asphalt processing plant permitted within the city was an issue that generated a lot of public concern. Keeping that use in the bylaw could’ve led to the issue coming up yet again, he said.

“I’m not against industry or an asphalt plant, but let’s do it right,” Christopherson said.

Also at the council meeting, city staff rec-ommended that council approve the third read-ing of the zoning bylaw. Instead, council rescind-ed the second reading in order to amend the bylaw to prohibit asphalt processing.

After the bylaw was amended, it passed sec-ond reading again and will go to another public hearing before the final reading.

During the public hearing, City of Merritt

planning and develop-ment services manager Sean O’Flaherty said city council can add and subtract zoning uses with almost complete impunity.

Coun. Dave Baker suggested taking asphalt processing out of the M2 zoning altogether.

Chief administrative officer Allan Chabot told the Herald that if this change were adopted, there wouldn’t

be anything to preclude a landowner from apply-ing to amend zoning to permit asphalt process-ing on a specific piece of property.

Removing asphalt processing from the new zoning bylaw will allow council the ability to approve or deny an asphalt plant on a case-by-case basis.

Council returned the zoning bylaw from pub-lic hearing and Coun.

Harry Kroeker made the motion to rescind second reading, which was carried by a 5 to 2 vote.

Council approved amending and rereading zoning bylaw 2134 and approved sending it to public hearing, again by the same 5-2 vote.

Mayor Susan Roline and Coun. Neil Menard were opposed removing asphalt processing in the zoning bylaw.

Country music festival moving to MerrittMerritt is slated to host

another country music fes-tival in 2015. The Country Music Capital of Canada will play host to the Rockin’ River Music Festival, a four-day festival organiz-ers announced Thursday

they’ll be bringing to Mer-

ritt next August long week-end.

Rockin’ River is mov-ing from Mission, where it has been held for the past six years. Organizer Ken Hess told a crowd gath-ered at the Nicola Valley

Institute of Technology for the announcement that the event has outgrown the site in Mission.Hess told the Herald the

festival has grown over its six years and the Mission site is too close to that city.He said the music fes-tival site just outside of Merritt is larger with more

available campsites.Hess said he’s hoping to see this event to draw about 15,000 people per day to the festival — total-ling 60,000 over the course of the long weekend. He

said in Mission, the festival brought in about 20,000 to 25,000 people over the

weekend.Hess said he is in talks

with the owners of the festival grounds for a long-term agreement that will see Rockin’ River use the site for the next decade. “We’ve already got a well-established festival, a

well-established site and a

town that has been estab-lished for 20 years promot-ing country music,” Hess told the crowd.He said organizers decided to bring the Rock-

in’ River Music Festival to Merritt at this time because they wanted enough time to pass between the demise of the Merritt Mountain Music Festival and the commencement of this

one.Helping to bring Rockin’ River to Merritt is Michelle Loughery’s Wayfinder Project and the

Canadian Country Music Heritage Society. In partnership with Rockin’ River, the Wayfind-

er project will be providing training programs.

The Country Music Capital of Canada will play host to the Rockin’ River Music Festival, a four-day festival organizers announced Thursday they’ll be bringing to Merritt next August long weekend.

The horse camp at Lundbom Lake recreation site got a big upgrade ear-lier this month, thanks to nearly 50 volunteers from across the province.

Members of the Back Country Horsemen of BC converged on the site east of Merritt on Highway 97C on the first weekend of October to replace 12 old wooden corrals in need of repair with 28 new paddocks enclosed by steel pipes.

The work took about 775 volunteer hours over four days.

The project was con-ceived in May of this year by Back Country Horsemen of BC mem-bers Kelly Allen, Rose Schroeder, Scott Walker and Ron Stolp, as well as Recreation Sites and Trails BC district officer Ed Ables and camp host Ann Jeffrey.

Recreation Sites and Trails BC, the branch of the provincial government that does trail and recre-ation site maintenance, footed the bill for most of the cost of the project.

Plenty of businesses, horse clubs and indi-viduals also supported the cause via cash or in-kind donations as well.

On the first day, about a dozen volunteers tore down the dozen well-used wooden corrals, cutting the wood up for firewood.

The second day, it was time to bring in the machinery to level the ground for the new layout of the corrals and relocate the manure pit.

“We spent all day on tractors, Bobcats and excavators,” Allen said. “I ran the roller for the whole day.”

After everything was levelled, the excavator came to pound the new posts into the ground. Once the posts were in,

volunteers bolted the pipes to them. They also put in a rock retaining wall so the new dirt foot-ing wouldn’t spill out.

Allen said it was the largest-scale project of this type she has been part of.

“It was very rewarding to see the finished product and the quality of it,” she said.

Volunteers came from eight chapters all over the province, including the president of the organi-zation who came from McBride.

Allen said she was amazed by how well all the volunteers worked together.

“I can’t believe what they did in just four short days,” Allen said. “It was really a group effort.”

Back Country Horse-men of BC is the prov-ince’s second largest equestrian group with over 700 members.

“The thing that Back Country Horsemen does is try to keep the trails open for everyone — not just for horsemen, but for all of us,” Allen said.

She said back country users of all stripes, from hikers to mountain bikers to cross-country skiers, use trails maintained and preserved by the Back Country Horsemen.

Allen, who’s been a member of the Back Country Horsemen of BC since 2003, is also spear-heading a new local chap-ter of the organization.

On Saturday, she got the go-ahead from the organization’s executive to form a chapter in Merritt.

“Merritt is such a hors-ey area and has never had a Back Country Horse-men chapter. We have all these trails and everything here,” she said.

For more information about the local chapter, contact Allen by email at [email protected].

Bylaw stronger, simplifi edMerritt’s new zon-

ing bylaw eliminates the need for three zonings.

C8 (Neighbourhood Commercial) and C7 (Tourism Commercial) have been consolidated into C4 zoning, and P2 for churches has been consolidated into P3 zoning.

The bylaw was updated to reflect updates to provin-cial statutes and its definitions have been

strengthened with the inclusion of diagrams, city planning and devel-opment services man-ager Sean O’Flaherty said at a public hearing on Oct. 14.

Some of the issues identified as needing attention included sec-ondary suites, new vehi-cle parking standards and requirements, cargo container regulations and temporary stor-age facility regulations, O’Flaherty said.

The new zoning bylaw encourages front

porches for houses, and allows for use of 60 per cent of lot coverage, whereas the current bylaw generally allows for 45 per cent.

In commercial areas, more parking regula-tions have been added, and residential housing is being allowed in some commercial zones.

One change under R3 (Medium Den-sity Residential) zoning, O’Flaherty pointed out, is 60 dwellings per hect-are are allowed under the new bylaw. That

number is up from 40 in the current bylaw.

Sharing parking spaces between business-es and requiring new developments to provide new parking spaces are also new additions to the bylaw.

Davin Shillong, project manager with MMM Group, the company responsible for helping to rewrite the bylaw, said the new bylaw is the vehicle that drives the implementa-tion of the city’s Official Community Plan.

As a child, the yellow-ing leaves on trees signi-fied an exciting transition to a new and excellent season.

Autumn meant Hal-loween, which in itself contains a multitude of fun things: home-made costumes, free candy, class-

room parties, free candy, crafts, candy, pumpkin carving and all the candy you could dream of.

It also meant the ulti-mate satisfaction in walk-ing to school: stepping on crunchy leaves.

As I got older, the excitement of possibilities symbolized by autumn waned. Pretty soon fall meant mid-terms and all the stress that exam season brings on.

Then, when I was fin-ished with school for good, fall meant more like the shortening of the days, the chilling of the air, and the beginning of the long, cruel winter.

But rather than looking at autumn as a shoulder

season before winter, I prefer to take it in for its own merits: the beauty of the colourful leaves, the still-warm sunshine in the mid-afternoon, and glori-ously glove-free hands.

If I do look ahead to winter, it’s a bit easier on this side of Christmas to anticipate all the lovely things that the season brings.

The first snowfall is always beautiful, though I wouldn’t care to be caught in it on any highways around here.

This year, there will also be an outdoor ice rink at Central Park for every-one to enjoy, which I’ll be sure to check out.

The beginning of win-

ter also signifies the wind-up to Christmas, which is always a jolly time.

About a month before the actual holiday, Mer-ritt becomes a hotspot of Christmas cheer with the Country Christmas event.

This year, the parade takes place on Friday, Nov. 28 beginning at 7 p.m.

Applications for busi-nesses and groups to enter their floats in the parade are available at the cham-ber of commerce office at city hall and at Carrie Ware and Company on Quilchena Avenue. They are also available for download at merrittcham-ber.com

After the parade, the Country Music Hall of

Fame on Quilchena Ave-nue will host Santa Land, which will continue all day on Saturday.

Santa Land will also feature a new addition to the festivities this year: the festival of trees, which will be relocated from city hall. Groups, businesses, classes and daycares are invited to decorate their own Christ-mas tree at the hall of honour over that week.

As the leaves continue to fall and the town turns more grey — and eventu-ally white under a blanket of snow — it’s time to look on the bright side and forget about dry skin, cold feet and runny noses and embrace the beauty of the lead-in to the holidays.

One last holdup on railway tracks

VICTORIA – “Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering rail-way builders.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lum-ber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of pro-vincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legisla-ture this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Naviga-tion Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way.

“I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legisla-

ture.“The province granted

land to three railway com-panies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reserva-tions were not recognized in many subsequent land trans-actions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. Coleman’s statement sug-gests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settle-ment and railway develop-ment, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this

period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990).

Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competi-tors for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to

1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancou-ver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to sup-ply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieuten-ant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University. He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cem-etery.

As Halloween approach-es, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

Dear Editor,

While visiting Mer-ritt a few days ago, I was very pleased to see a river cleanup along the banks of the Nicola River near downtown Merritt taking place.

In speaking to the group, I was told they were from the Rotary Club of Merritt and they do this from time to time in an attempt to keep this important Nicola Valley waterway clear of garbage and trash as much as pos-sible, thus preventing it from being washed down river as well as impacting fish and wildlife habitat.

I know personally such volunteer work can and does make a difference to our com-munities as we have done similar cleanups since 2002 and have taken close to 95 metric tonnes off the riparian zone on Chilliwack’s Vedder River over this period of time with 43 cleanups. The last was BC Rivers Day (World Rivers Day) where we

had 300 plus volunteers involved.

You can read about our work at cleanriv-ers.ca.

BC Rivers Day actu-ally first started in the Thompson region in September of 1980.

Mark Angelo, an internationally cel-ebrated river conser-vationist, organized a

major cleanup of the Thompson River that year and this initial cleanup is now cele-brated in 100 countries worldwide.

I would like to once again commend the Rotary club for their recent work and hope maybe Merritt will organize and hold, in Merritt, a BC Rivers

Day event in 2015. More information on BCRD can be found online at http://orcbc.ca/pro_bcriversday.htm.

Dear Editor,

On Sept. 6, my wife was walking down Garcia between the Royal Bank and City Furniture when she slipped on a piece of gravel that was on the sidewalk. As a result, she fell and broke some bones in her right foot.

Since that time, we have had several elderly people tell us that they slipped on rocks that were on the sidewalks downtown and at numerous locations around the city.

I went to city hall and they said it was the responsibility of the store owners to keep the sidewalks clean.

If you walk up Garcia beside the Railyard Mall, you will find rocks all over the sidewalk from the landscaping next to the sidewalk.

I think the city should be responsible for seeing that any landscaping that is done should be done in a manner that would pre-vent occurrences of this kind.

Children will once again rule the halls of the old Coquihalla Middle School now that two family-orient-ed non-profit organiza-tions have moved in.

Interior Commu-nity Services, formerly located on Coutlee Avenue, has part-nered with Children’s Therapy and Family Resource Centre to offer their services in one place for Merritt and area families at the old Coquihalla Middle School building on Clapperton Avenue.

“The space is cer-tainly perfect for orga-nizations like ours,” ICS chief operating officer Shelly Bon-nah said. “To have a gym, a playground, an art room — it really couldn’t be any better for the services that we deliver.”

Bonnah added the timing was right for ICS to move as the organization had outgrown its previ-ous space on Coutlee Avenue.

ICS opened a Mer-ritt office in 2013, through which the Kamloops-based Children’s Therapy and Family Resource Centre offered its pro-

grams.Children’s therapy

executive director Mary-Ellen Everatt said the two organiza-tions partnered with the best interests of their Merritt clients in mind.

“What a perfect location,” Everatt said. “We work with chil-dren and families and to have a school — it was built for us.”

Bonnah said the organizations are open to other non-profits offering services in Merritt without office space here sharing in their new, large build-ing to create a hub for

community services.Everatt and Bonnah

said their hope is the partnership and forma-tion of a hub for pro-grams and services will be a model other com-munities can look at.

Everatt said even something as little as sharing toys between the two non-profits can help each stretch its budget rather than redundantly spend on the same kinds of items.

“We share our toys, we share our equip-ment, we share every-thing, so it makes the contract dollars stretch — and when that hap-

pens, everyone’s a win-ner,” Everatt said.

Bonnah said both organizations received plenty of support from the school district and the City of Merritt in the partnership.

School District 58 chairman Gordon Comeau said having a long-term tenant with a focus on com-munity services creates a best-case scenario for the school district, the organizations and the people of Merritt.

“With our enrol-ment situation, we don’t see the facility being needed for quite some time,” he said.

“The stability that they talk about fits for both: we need a stable person in this facility to ensure we know it’s being used and being looked after, and they need the stability to be able to set up their programs, to make sure that they can move forward with long-term vision.

“Everybody wins in this, but in particular the citizens of Merritt who require the service and have the bulk of it all in one place,” Comeau said.

Services went ahead at the new building without even a day’s gap.

The organizations co-hosted an open house for people to tour the new facility on Monday afternoon.

Emission limits set for B.C. LNG producers

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has set environmental rules aimed at making good on its promise to export the world’s “cleanest” liquefied natural gas.

Environment Minister Mary Polak introduced legislation Monday to set limits for greenhouse gas and con-ventional air pollution. It includes an option for LNG producers to buy carbon offsets or con-tribute to a “technology fund” if their operations exceed greenhouse gas limits.

Polak said the system will permit LNG devel-opment without exceed-ing the government’s greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050.

New air quality rules are also being established for nitrogen dioxide and sulphur dioxide emis-sions, based on a review of air quality in the Kiti-mat area.

The “benchmark” for greenhouse gas emis-sions is an average 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of LNG produced, which the government says is lower than the lowest-emitting LNG facilities in the U.S., Australia and Norway. Companies that exceed the bench-mark will pay penalties on a sliding scale, and those that perform better than the benchmark will receive a carbon offset credit they can sell.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said the technol-ogy fund idea appears to be borrowed from Alberta, where a similar fund hasn’t stopped greenhouse gas emis-sions from rising.

“I don’t know how we can meet our green-house gas reductions if we get five or seven LNG plants that the premier seems to suggest are coming, despite evi-dence to the contrary,” Chandra Herbert said.

Polak said the tech-nology fund will be developed in consulta-tion with industry. Car-bon offsets will be used to pay for projects in B.C. such as lower-emis-sion transportation and buildings, and there is no plan to count emissions reductions from Asian users who use LNG to reduce coal use, she said.

Green Party MLA

Andrew Weaver said the sliding scale for excess emissions means that taxpayers will be paying part of the penalties. He predicts that B.C. will never compete in the LNG industry, given growing international production of conven-tional and shale gas. But if it does, the province will not achieve reduc-tions in emissions.

“This isn’t going to fool anybody,” Weaver said. “It’s attempting to look like the government still has a plan for green-house gas reductions.”

The emission rules will apply to LNG processing only, not pol-lution and greenhouse gases from production and processing of natu-ral gas in northeastern B.C.

Life is change – mar-riages begin and end, children are born and grow, you are employed for years and then you retire – and at each step along the way, you must document those changes.

There are certain important documents in your life – more than you may realize – that will dictate who gets your financial support while you’re alive and how your legacy will be distributed when you’re gone – and each time there is a change in your life, those documents need to be updated.

Here are a few to consider:

Budgets Review the sources

of income and expenses for you and a new part-ner and update your family budget. Update as necessary.

Properties Update property

ownerships. Speak to your legal advisors regarding ways to hold title to property in a way that benefits your children and carries out your wishes.

Financial plans If you and a new

partner have separate financial plans, update to a cohesive plan that will best help attain your new family’s objectives.

Registered Educa-tion Savings Plans

(RESPs) Ensure RESPs are

in place for every child who does not already have one.

Beneficiaries Update the ben-

eficiaries of your life insurance policies and Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs).

Wills Update your will

right away. If you die without a valid will – any previous wills may be rendered invalid when you remarry, although a will is not automatically revoked when a person divorces – your estate may be divided without regard for your wishes, your assets may be frozen while distributions are determined, you may inadvertently disinherit some children, and your heirs may have to pay more taxes.

Power of Attorney (POA) and Power of Attorney for Personal Care

A POA is the des-ignate for your finan-cial affairs should you become incapacitated. A Power of Attorney for Personal Care (some-times referred to as a Living Will or Health Care Directive) explic-itly authorizes your des-ignate to make medical treatment decisions on your behalf. Update your designates as life changes dictate.

Personal Representative

Sometimes called an Executor or Liquidator

(in Québec), this des-ignate will administer your estate when you die. Update your desig-nate as needed. Select a capable individual who will also make the more sensitive decisions involving your family.

When it comes to documenting your life changes, you have a lot of decisions to make. Professional and legal advisors can help you make the best decisions now and in the future.

God the Word, the World

When Jesus was here, it must have been great to be one of His disciples, to be with Him and see all the things He did for people. Jesus healed all who came to Him.

There was no illness that He could not handle. The blind could see again, the lame could walk again, even some who had died were restored to life.

One of the problems was that every once in a while, Jesus told the disciples of His death and resurrection. That was not what they liked to hear about, probably because they didn’t really believe it.

Their minds were on the days of David, when Israel was a big powerful nation and nobody could stand up to David’s army. The disciples believed that Jesus would restore that fame and power and that they would be part of that powerful government. Then, they would have power, fame and a good life. It all sounded so good to them. It made the disciples happy.

Things took a real change when Jesus raised Lazarus, who had been

dead for days, from the dead. Now, the authorities, the high priest, and all said that Jesus de nitely had to die. Raising someone from the dead was going too far.

Jesus was condemned to death.

It was only a few days until the Passover. The Jewish authorities wanted to put Jesus to death before that.

Things moved along very quickly. Jesus’ disciples were very upset over what was going on. However, this was happening just as the prophet had prophesied. Their hopes began to die, but they hung on to the slim chance that Jesus would come off the cross and free Himself.

That did not happen.

The disciples then feared that if the authorities had put Jesus to death, then they would be the next on the list. Dreams of power and greatness faded so they went and locked themselves in a hiding place as all hope died.

In March of this year, the World Health Organization declared the Southeast Asia region polio-free — a huge mile-stone in the Global Polio Eradi-cation Initiative’s goal of deliver-ing a polio-free world by 2018.

Because of the commitment by service groups, governments, health agencies and many other partners worldwide, 1.8 billion people in the region’s 11 coun-tries are at a much lesser risk of contracting the virus.

This also means that those living in neighbouring countries, particularly where there is move-ment across borders due to politi-cal unrest or natural disaster, are at less risk of infection.

With travel throughout the world so frequent and easily done, this also guards against spread on a much larger scale.

Polio is spread when the stool of an infected person is intro-duced into the system of another person through contaminated water or food (fecal-oral trans-mission). Oral-oral transmission by way of an infected person’s saliva may account for some cases as well.

People living in poorer coun-tries where there are no sanitary water systems or where people must live in refugee camps for a variety of reasons are at the greatest risk for transmission of the disease.

Since 1985, Rotarians all over the world have led the battle against polio, and kept the pres-sure on as worldwide cases plum-meted from 350,000 per year to several hundred. When India

went off the list of endemic countries in 2012, Rotary took one more step toward eradicating a human disease from the Earth for only the second time in his-tory.

Now, Rotary and its partners are close to making that dream a reality. Local Rotarians have sup-ported this initiative each year. In 2004, members travelled to India to participate in the National Immunization Day. Rotary has helped over 2.5 billion children receive immunization worldwide.

There are only three endemic countries left: Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan.

On Oct. 15 of this year, Pakistan reported 19 new cases of polio, bringing the total num-ber of cases of paralysis by the wild poliovirus (WPV1) in 2014 to 206. That’s up from the 39 reported by October of 2013.

To date, 22 million children have been immunized multiple times in the last year, which is significant due to the active con-flict and crises in the Pakistan region.

DAVID L. BROWNManagingYOUR MONEY


Two new cases were reported in the past week in Afghanistan, bringing the total num-ber of WPV1 cases in 2014 to 12.

Nigeria, which is the third endemic country, had no new cases; its total remains at six. Six out of seven other non-endemic countries on watch have reported 19 new cases in total as well.

In Canada, the U.S., the former Soviet Union, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand, more

than 76,000 cases of paralytic polio were reported in 1955. By 1967, due to immu-nizations, only 1,013 cases were reported. By 1991, the poliovirus was declared eradi-cated from the Western Hemisphere.

Until the virus has been eliminated world-wide, the risk to Cana-dians remains high and immunization in child-hood is recommended.

Merritt’s two local Rotary clubs have con-tributed to this cause on an annual basis.

This Friday, Oct. 24, local Rotarians

will be at the corner of Voght Street and Nicola Avenue with “End Polio Now” signs to raise awareness and to collect donations for the cause. Please honk to show your support.

If immunization and

eradication does not continue, this virus may once again become active in our region.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGTuesday, Nov. 25 2014 - 7:00 pm

Olde Courthouse Art Gallery1840 Nicola Ave., Merritt

Everyone welcome! Refreshments will be provided

“It’s just a stage!” we say, when the little one starts saying “No!” or the seven-year-old becomes unbelievably silly or the fifteen-year-old becomes uncommunicative and moody.

We accept that there are a series of develop-mental changes that we all must go through.

But there seems to be an unspoken under-standing that stages belong to childhood, and that somewhere between the ages of 19 and 25, we are “developed” or “finished.” This is not only incorrect, but can create difficulty in rela-

tionships as well. Life is a series of

stages, one giving way to another. Sometimes adults, like some chil-dren, spend a long time in a particular stage, or may even regress to an earlier one. Some choose to remain in a stage that has been comfortable. Change can be scary, both to the one who is changing, and to those who are affected by it.

When a child enters a new stage, we do not tell them to go back to an earlier stage. We may have to readjust our thinking, and the way we deal with them, but we accept change as an inevitable part of growth.

In relationships too often this is not the case. It may be that subcon-sciously we want our relationships to remain as they were in the beginning, because we associate that time with a lot of love and hap-

piness. If one partner begins to change, the other can feel that the relationship is threat-ened. Ironically, the major threat comes not from the change, but from attempts to block the change.

Assume, for example, that a woman between the ages of 30 and 45 feels an urge to do or be something different than she has been for the past 10 or 15 years. This hap-pens frequently, because many women only then begin to truly have a sense of who they are, distinct from what every-one else expects them to be. This may be felt as a kind of restless energy or dissatisfaction with some aspects of her life.

If she begins to express this and wants to try new activities or change jobs or dress differently or read some-thing new or perhaps become involved in a cause, and if her partner

resists this expression, the stage is set for difficulty. It’s a little like trying to put the cap back on a bottle of pop that’s been shaken before opening. Or a plant that is push-ing its way up through the soil, but is blocked by a rock. It does not stop growing, it simply grows away from the rock, and towards the light.

So if you have a partner who is changing and you are resisting the change, you may want to consider what would happen if you provided loving support instead of opposition.

We need encourage-ment at every stage in our lives, and opposition only creates resentment. And it is the resentment which poisons the rela-tionship, not the change.

If you are having difficulty supporting each other, then it may be time to work with a third party, to assist you through a difficult pas-

sage, and back into the light.

Flu season is on the way and Interior Health is gearing up to help protect children, preg-nant women, seniors, people with chronic ill-nesses and others who are most at risk from influenza (flu) and its complications.

Influenza can make people quite sick for several days. People with influenza can also

spread the virus to oth-ers who are at greater risk. For those with heart, lung and other health problems, influ-enza can cause severe complications and even death.

This year’s vaccine contains three different flu strains including the H1N1 strain, which was the predominant strain last year.

People over 65, chil-dren aged six months to five years, people in residential care facili-ties, people with chronic health conditions and first responders are all eligible for a free flu vaccine.

The free flu shot clinics in Merritt take place at the Civic Cen-tre on Oct. 29 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Nov.

5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments are not ncecessary.

People not eligible for the free shot through the public program can get one for a fee at physician’s offices, local pharmacies, walk-in clinics, travel clinics and other private providers.

For more informa-tion, visit http://immu-nizebc.ca.

Flu vaccines available now

People come first

(NC) What do a home-based crafter, a car mechanic, and a food truck owner have in common?

Each one represents an important economic segment in Canada called micro-businesses, or companies with one to five employ-ees. Today, that sector makes up more than 55 % of small businesses in the country and has grown by 40 % in the last decade. With fewer resources and little manpower, micro-busi-nesses are heavily reliant on mobile technology to reach customers, engage

new prospects, and operate their businesses, according to a research report released recently from Rogers, conducted by Environics.

The study revealed that micro-businesses depend on mobile technology to manage their operations at all times, to stay connected to clients, partners and employees, and to alle-viate stress from their workday. The majority of respondents (70%) reported that they would have challenges operating or even start-ing their business with-out access to wireless

technology. Over half (67%) stay connected to their business anywhere, anytime with laptops, tablets or smartphones.

“What we’re seeing is that technology can help level the playing field for micro-busi-nesses, and with mobile devices plus solutions like e-commerce web-sites and applications, these companies can start-up and scale overnight,” says Tracy Markwood, the vice president of business marketing at Rogers. “There is a big oppor-tunity for both micro and small businesses

across the country to embrace new tools and realize the time savings and financial benefits of doing more with less.”

Additional survey results indicate that while mobile technol-ogy is seen as critical to business success, many micro-businesses are not using a number of the tools and solutions available to them. Key findings included:

• More than half (52%), agree that using mobile technology alle-viates stress from the workweek.

• Only 20% of micro-businesses use

cloud-based software and applications like Drop Box or Office 365 to share files and docu-ments.

• Only 4% of micro-businesses are using mobile point-of-sale applications to process payments.

• Only 22% are using an online store or website as primary means to sell products or services.

• Nearly half (48%) say that marketing and sales top the list of services that they need most.

• Only 16% of respondents use social

media as the primary means to promote their business.

• More than half (56%), use web based applications to support their operations.

• As many as 74% of owners report micro businesses to be a sole source of income.

This October, micro, small, and medium businesses across Canada will have the opportunity to learn how the right technol-ogy enables growth and a competitive advan-tage. Rogers Talks, the second annual national events series, will kick-

off Small Business Month with experts in social media, market-ing and sales to share knowledge and appli-cable best practices with attendees. Events will take place in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary and Vancouver from October 28th to November 12th and are open to any small busi-ness owner or employee. You can register at www.rogers.com/RogersTalks.

(NC) Every entrepreneur feels it at some point: the fear of failure. Only half of new businesses make it to their fifth birthday, and that can cause entrepreneurs a lot of stress. However, experts say failure can actu-ally lead to major accom-plishments.

In fact, failure has been

a key ingredient in some of the business world’s great success stories, says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Public Affairs at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “Canadian entrepreneurs and the public at large need to be more forgiving about failure. Failure–and learning from mistakes–is often an impor-tant milestone on the path to success,” Bergeron says. “We have to change our percep-tion about failure in order to help business owners stay in the game.”

Deborah Conroy of EY agrees. She points to the new BDC Entrepreneurial

Resiliency Award, an ini-tiative that recognizes a Canadian business that has successfully undergone a turnaround or pivotal event in the past and come back stronger because of it. “Many entrepreneurs talk about some kind of massive failure or hurdle they’ve overcome,” says Conroy, Vice President of Transaction Advisory Services at EY. She is also President of the Montreal chapter of the Turnaround Management Association, a group for corporate turn-around experts that teamed up with BDC for this award.

No business is too big or too small to confront

roadblocks. Bergeron cites the example of Groupon, the giant deals website. The company got its start as a social media site called The Point, which was created to help people connect for social activism purposes. After a year of effort and US$1 million in operating costs, the start-up was going nowhere.

“The founders shifted gears and turned their offer-ing into the discount coupon service Groupon. They learned, adapted and made a fortune,” Bergeron says. Two years later, the shift in focus proved profitable: Groupon ballooned from a few dozen employees to

10,000 and was the fastest company in history to make US$1 billion in revenue.

Bergeron advises entre-preneurs to adopt a “try, try again” philosophy. At its core: learning from mistakes and showing resilience, a new business approach that is growing in popularity in today’s rapidly changing economy, he says. Instead of the old model, which emphasized extensive plan-ning before launching a new venture—by which time technology and markets may change substantially—the new approach favours a lean and nimble start-up.

The idea is to engage customers early with a basic

product, even if you haven’t worked out all the bugs. The second step: Learn quickly from customer feedback and missteps. Third: Constantly refine your efforts. And the final secret ingredient: Don’t give up.

“I don’t think fear is all bad. It can be healthy and reasonable. It keeps entre-preneurs from making rash decisions,” Conroy says. “But it’s important to avoid excessive hesitation and waiting for the exact perfect moment. Trying, failing and trying again is much better than not trying at all.”

MIRROR VINTAGE(NC) Technology has

completely transformed our shopping habits. It is now possible to buy everything we need with the simple click of a mouse. The value of online purchases by Canadians reached $18.9 billion in 2012, an increase of 24% compared with 2010, accord-ing to Statistics Canada. However, our choices as con-sumers have a major impact on our daily lives.

“It’s important to remind consumers that buying local-ly contributes to the vitality of our neighbourhoods, the prosperity of their merchants and the sustainability of

communities,” explained François Ramsay, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs for Yellow Pages, a Canadian digital marketing and media solutions com-pany that provides marketing solutions to small businesses.

Consumer dollars can have a big impact locally, and have positive side benefits. Small businesses create jobs, reinvest in the community and help keep decision-mak-ing power local. All of this contributes to the vitality of healthy and prosperous neighbourhoods.

Various communities and business associations have

undertaken public awareness campaigns to underscore the importance of buying local. Many are limited to specific regions, but some movements are gaining ground, like Shop The Neighbourhood, which will be held nation-wide this year and encour-ages people to make at least one purchase at a small busi-ness on November 29, 2014.

Hey, Centennials’ parents. Do you want to take up permanent resi-dence here?

Playing inspired hockey in front of their moms, dads and assort-ed siblings, the Merritt Centennials dumped their three-game losing slump in dramatic fash-ion on the weekend with a pair of scintillating home-ice victories in overtime.

Friday night, with their family members fresh into town, the Centennials took anoth-er game from the West Kelowna Warriors this season — their third in a row (including exhibi-tion) — after almost two years of coming up empty.

Shane Poulsen’s point shot at 3:35 of the first OT period gave the Cents a hard-fought 5-4 win against the Warriors, who had battled back from a two-goal deficit in the third period to force the extra innings.

John Schiavo with two, Gavin Gould and James Neil scored for Merritt during regula-tion play, while West

Kelowna replied with goals by Michael Buonincontri (2), league-leading scorer Liam Blackburn and Hunter Zundee.

Unlike some of their recent wins and losses, the Cents were full-value for their vic-tory Friday night, as they took the game to the Warriors all evening long. Despite being out-shot 33-26, Merritt held the balance of play and had the majority of the good scoring chances. Both Michael Ederer and Rhett Willcox had several golden opportu-nities to put the game away early but just missed.

Willcox made no mistake on his first chance Sunday after-noon against the visiting Victoria Grizzlies. The second-year forward from Surrey finished off a beautiful three-way passing play with Nick Fidanza and Jake Clifford to put the Cents up 1-0 at 10:20 of the opening period.

Willcox’s tally gave Merritt the first of three one-goal leads against the Grizzlies. Each time, however, the tenacious Island team battled back to even

the score. Additional Cents’ marksmen were Gould and captain Sam Johnson, while Meirs Moore, Garrett Forster and Kevin Massy replied for the Grizzlies.

Tied 3-3 after 60 minutes of regulation play, the two teams squared off for another round of overtime excitement at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena.

Ederer figured prominently in Merritt’s second OT winner in as many games. As the final seconds counted down in the first five minutes of extra time, the New York State product took a nice pass from Josh Teves and fired a laser shot at the Victoria net. The puck glanced off Diego Cuglietta in front and past Victoria netminder Michael Stiliadis just as the buzzer sounded to end the initial OT ses-sion.

Positioned per-fectly at the side of the Grizzlies’ net, referee Bryan Bourdon didn’t hesitate in pointing to the net, indicating a good goal.

As the Cents players poured off their bench in celebration, and the small but enthusias-tic Sunday crowd of Merritt fans erupted in the stands, Grizzlies players could only look on in disbelief as they lost their second game in less than 24 hours by a single goal.

Cents head coach and GM Luke Pierce was happy to get the weekend wins, and pleased overall with his team’s effort in the two hard-fought contests.

“Both games should probably have never gone to overtime,” the coach said. “We played well enough to win in regulation both days. It was good to see the guys

gut it out.“That said, there

are some little things that we still need to cor-rect — most notably in our special teams play. It was ugly to say the least.”

Merritt scored just twice in 14 man-advantage opportunities on the weekend, while allowing five goals in nine chances for their opposition.

The Cents will get a chance to make amends on the power play and the penalty kill this weekend.

ISLAND DIVISION

Newest Centennial excited to be hereThe Merritt Centennials added another player

to their roster late last week. Eighteen-year-old defenceman Cole Arcuri was acquired from the Powell River Kings in exchange for future consid-erations.

Arcuri, a native of Nelson, played parts of two seasons with his hometown Nelson Leafs of the KIJHL before finishing his 2013-14 campaign with the BCHL’s Kings.

In 77 regular season games with Nelson, Arcuri netted eight goals and added 31 assists for 39 points. In 36 combined regular season and playoff games with Powell River, he had eight points (two goals, six assists).

The addition of Arcuri to the Cents’ 22-man roster was made possible by the fact that Merritt has two players on the long-term injury reserve list — forwards Adam Tracey and Braden Fuller.

The six-foot-one-inch, 189-pound Arcuri was scheduled to play in Sunday’s game against Victoria. He took the warm-up, but was scratched shortly afterwards and replaced by Tyrell Buckley.

“We had a carding error that we had to deal with.,” Cents head coach and GM Luke Pierce said. “We didn’t want to play him and then have that affect the outcome of the game. You can be fined or even forfeit the points if you use an ineli-gible player. Naturally, Cole was disappointed, but this way he’ll have a full week of practice to settle in and get comfortable with his new teammates.

“We see Cole as a real solid addition to our club,” Pierce said. “With the number of injuries we’ve experienced already this year, it was impor-tant that we have depth at that position. I think Cole can be an impact player who can add some speed and offence to our backend.”

Arcuri is delighted to be playing in Merritt as it puts him that much closer to family in friends in the Kootenays.

On the heels of three Cents’ losses the weekend before, it was no surprise to see a reconfigured set of forward lines on display in Friday’s and Sunday’s games. The top two units had Cuglietta centering Ederer and James Neil, while rookie Brandon Duhaime

moved into the middle between Gould and Schiavo. Merritt’s two sandpaper lines consisted of Colin Grannery cen-tering Willcox and Nick Fidanza, and captain Sam Johnson between Daniel Nachbaur and Devin Oakes. The new combos seemed to click as every line scored one or more goals over the

weekend.“There weren’t one

or two guys in particular that we were trying to single out,” Pierce said. “We’re still trying to find the right chemistry and balance that will make us a complete team.”

With netminder Jonah Imoo still on the sidelines, the Cents had Lawrence Langan in

town on the weekend as a backup for starter Anthony Pupplo. The 18-year-old Langan, who hails from Penticton, is in his second season with the Osoyoos Coyotes of the KIJHL. In 10 games so far this season with the ’Yotes, Langan has a sparkling 9-1 record, a 2.46 GAA and a .916 SV%.

Merritt Tracker Sportswear midget reps improve to 4-0 in league play

By Ian WebsterTHE [email protected]

The Merritt Tracker Sportswear midget rep team kept its perfect league record intact with a pair of home-ice wins on the weekend.

Saturday, Bailey Tomkinson and Eric Lalonde scored two goals each in a 7-3 Merritt victory over Salmon Arm. Other Tracker scorers were Grayson McMaster, Travis Sterling and Marcelo Bose.

Kerslake, Lalonde, Bose, Tomkinson and McMaster also picked up assists, as did Brayden Thormoset, Jessie Cunningham and Jesse Kane.

On Sunday, Noah Racine’s perfect hat trick paced Merritt to a 4-1 win against Kelowna T3. McMaster had the team’s other goal.

Assists in this game went to Lalonde, McMaster and Aaron Montreuil.

Sam Suzuki picked

up both wins in the Merritt net. He earned a special mention from Merritt head coach Zach Wright, as did team captain Grady Musgrave.

The Tracker Sportswear midgets are on the road this weekend for games in West Kelowna on Friday and in Summerland Saturday.

Midget House

The NVIT midget house team played two penalty-filled games in Lillooet on the weekend, losing 5-1 both days.

Saturday, Tanner Malloy scored Merritt’s only goal from Travis Mosley and Abram Jackson. Sunday, it was Keyton Laupitz from Curtis Dick and Austin Dan.

Netminder Trevor Hillson was stoic in both losses.

Bantam Rep

The Murray GM bantam reps fell 4-1 in a

spirited home-ice exhi-bition game against a combined Vernon T2/3 team on Saturday.

The lone scorer for the Murray GM squad was Anthony Tulliani with the lone assist going to Fred Ware.

“Our kids had some good pressure early in each period, but couldn’t maintain it for the full 20 minutes,” head coach Bill Kelly said. “The team effort was good overall, and our goaltenders played well.”

Peewee Rep

The Ramada peewee reps split their weekend games.

Saturday, netminders Bryce Garcia and Troy Holmes pitched a shut-out in a 4-0 win over visiting West Kelowna.

Merritt goal scorers were Spencer Vaughan (2), Matthew Newman and Talon Zakall. Picking up assists were Vaughan, Zakall and Sajjin Lali.

On Sunday in Oliver,

Merritt lost a close one, 6-5, to their arch rivals from South Okanagan.

Zakall had two goals in the narrow loss, while Lali, Chase Cooke and Jayden Story added singles. Assists went to Vaughan, Cooke, Divaan Sahota, Breanna Ouellet and Azaria MacDonnell.

The Ramada pee-wees host their own eight-team, 18-game tournament this week-end, with games run-ning Friday, Saturday and Sunday at both local arenas.

The Merritt team plays its round robin games at 4:30 p.m. Friday, and at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Both games are at the Nicola Valley arena.

Atom Development

The Fountain Tire atoms travelled to Penticton on the week-end and came away with a 6-4 win. Merritt goal scorers were Max Graham (3), Wyatt Smith (2) and Cortez

Charters. Smith and Charters also picked up assists.

The winning goal-tenders were Manjot Panghli and Nathan Willey.

Peewee Girls

Bianca Cavaliere scored three times and added an assist to help the Joco Transport pee-wee girls edge Lillooet by scores of 1-0 and 3-2 on the weekend. Merritt’s other scorer was Hope Smith.

Goalie Janelle Gage picked up the shutout in her team’s win on Saturday.

Armando Di MarcoJuly 24, 1929 - October 17, 2014

Armando Di Marco, beloved husband, father, uncle, nonno and friend passed away after a ful lling and vibrant life. We will miss his funny stories, great wine and wisdom. Armando immigrated to Canada from Italy in 1957, married his wife Maria and raised his three children, Alba, Dino and Lisa in Merritt. Armando will also be missed by his ve grandsons, Christian, Mirko, Nicolas, Dylan and Christopher and daughter-in-law, Lisa. Armando is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, brothers Alfonso and Ernesto, sister Assunta, sisters-in-law Teresa and Lierata, and may nieces and nephews. During his life in Merritt, Armando touched many lives and had many strong friendships. Prayers will be held on Thursday, October 23, 7:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Merritt. A celebration of life will be held at Sacred Heart Church on Friday, October 24 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of owers, a donation to the B.C. Lung Association in Armando’s

memory would be greatly appreciated. It is with great sadness that the

family of Frank Larre announces his passing on Oct. 7, after a 10 year battle with kidney disease. He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Gayle and their children Maria and Francois (Bear), brother Robert (Pat), sisters Louise (Gene) and Bernadette (Tony).

Born in St. Walburg, Sask, he grew up in a large extended family. His experiments with gunpowder, building rockets and unidenti ed oating objects shortened the winters for us.

After brief stops in Saskatoon and Vancouver, Frank and his family moved to Merritt where he was involved various businesses. He was an active member of the Lions as well as the Merritt Astronomical Society and the Walk of Stars.

A dedicated polymath, his favorite past time was talking. His last 3 years were spent mostly in hospitals, but visits were never dull; visitors left uplifted.

The family wishes to thank Dr. McLeod, Dr. Connolly, the staff at RIH and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date in St. Wallburg.

Memorial donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House or the Canadian Kidney Foundation.

Larre, Francois Henri (Frank)

Three children were born to them there, Jack, Lois and Glenn. They moved to Merritt, BC in 1965. Her husband died on Oct. 15, 1979.

She is predeceased by her Mother when she was 2, and her Father when she was 18, also her husband Fred, Brother Charlie Hillman, and sisters Ina Johnson, Lilly Miller, and Ellen Jordan.

Elva’s Family meant the world to her, and she poured out her love to all of them. She loved everyone. She often mentioned the Great friends she had in her Church group in Merritt. Her desire was to live in her own home where she enjoyed growing her ower garden and baking. When she was 90 she went to live with family and died peacefully at home surrounded by family.

Elva is gone to her Saviour in heaven; her long life on this earth is done. She will always be rememberd and never forgotten. This world was a much better place because Mother was a part of it. To live in the hearts of those that are left behind is not to die, but to live on in them.

Left to mourn are her children, Jack (Mahnaz), Lois (Mr. Andy) and Glenn(Sue), her grandchildren, Jodi, Mark, John, Pat, Eric, Kelly, Tara and great-grandchildren Elias, Kelti, Kaitlyn and Taylor.

A Service will be held at the Crossroads Community Church in Merritt on Friday October 24th 2014at 1:00 PM.

In Lieu of Flowers donations can be made to the “Make a Wish Foundation”.
