Soil bylaw in the worksCouncil has directed staff to develop a

new bylaw to regulate the removal and de-posit of soil in the municipality.

Currently, the removal and deposit of soil in town is unregulated, except in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“If council wants the regulation, we can look at best practices and what other mu-nicipalities are doing,” said Director of De-velopment Services Stephanie Johnson at a recent meeting.

She noted the issue came to light after previous complaints were expressed about the controversial land-clearing activities on 87th Street (Meadows Drive) last year. Developers cleared their lots of trees and shrubbery in an area believed to be envi-ronmentally sensitive.

Since the Town didn’t have a bylaw reg-ulating soil removal then, its hands were tied.

The proposed bylaw would allow the

Town to address concerns about dust, noise, public safety and damage to munici-pal roads.

Under the Community Charter, the Town could regulate, prohibit and impose requirements (permit fees) in the removal or deposit of soil.

Johnson said the bylaw would regulate the movement of large amounts of soil, not small-scale landscaping activities.

“It would not be intended to over-regu-late the development community from do-ing business,” she pointed out.

Mayor Ron Hovanes said the term “over-regulate” is subjective and needs to be bet-ter defi ned.

Johnson said the development services department wants to ensure that it exudes an “open for business attitude” in Oliver.

Municipal Manager Tom Szalay agreed, saying they don’t want to deter develop-ment, they just want to address the concern or “fi x a problem” that has been identifi ed.

Council discussed the proposed bylaw further at Monday’s meeting.

Like the penny candy Roy’s Grocery was popular for in its early days, the neighbourhood store is rapidly becom-ing a relic of the past with more and more small businesses closing their doors every day.

Not so for the Oliver Family Grocery store, originally called Roy’s Grocery, which celebrates its 65th anniversary on March 14. The store has its forward-thinking owners to thank for its longevity.

Back in 1947, original owners Roy and Ella Sturgess de-cided to become entrepreneurs when they saw a need for a grocery store in Oliver. At the time, Ella, who turns 92 on March 30, said there were only a few tiny convenience stores around, and their business quickly met the needs of the community.

From the beginning, Roy’s Grocery was a full-fledged grocery store, carrying every staple a family needed, along with a meat counter, where Roy also worked as a butcher. In the summertime, they also sold beach gear, including sandals and T-shirts.

Bonnie White, the Sturgess’ daughter, recalled that the candy counter, a glass case positioned right at the front door where a child couldn’t miss it, was definitely the main attraction for local children. There were all kinds of sweet treats that sold for three for a penny – licorice ba-bies and whips, jawbreakers, Double Bubble gum with the comic inside – along with candy necklaces for five cents, and chocolate bars for a dime, among many others. Kids could bring in their old pop bottles and get change to stock up on their favourite candies, enough to last for a whole week if you shopped wisely, while parents could run up an account with the store, which often helped out families in those leaner times.

In those early days, the store was open every day from 7:30 am to 8 pm with just Roy and Ella working tirelessly to keep their store running and their customers satisfied. Later, they were able to hire on students in the summer to help with the tourist season.

In 1957, Ken Forbes and Ken Raincock opened the Su-perValu in Oliver, in the same building where the Fields store is now. White recalled that her father was urged by many to close the doors to his more modest grocery store because they feared he wouldn’t be able to compete. But Roy refused, and instead of giving in to change, he decided to stick around and stay competitive. He and Ella doubled the width of their store and increased their merchandise to include more of everything. They also added health foods, fishing gear, hardware, camping supplies such as pots and dishes, basic sewing items such as thread and buttons, and expanded their business to become more of a general store.

“Don’t be defeated by new businesses coming to town,” White said in response to her parents’ example. “Get with the program and stay competitive.”

White, who lived in Victoria for many years and recently moved back to Oliver, stated she is often frustrated when shopping in town and can’t find what she’s looking for. Quite often, she is told by local store owners that she could instead find her items in Penticton. “That’s not going to help keep you in business,” she added. “People can’t shop in Oliver if you don’t have the things they need.”

In 1979, after 32 of years of hard work and dedication, Roy and Ella were ready to retire. “It was time to move on to other things,” Ella said.

They sold the business to Gordon and Joy Watchel, who renamed the store Joy’s Grocery. The name stuck through another set of new owners, Thomas and Frances Stone.

In 1993, Allan and Barbara Simpson, former owners of the Shell station in Osoyoos, purchased the business with the intent to revive the store and build their own reputa-tion as a family business. Within the first day of owner-ship, Allan and Barb got to work renovating the old build-ing with the help of daughter, Teresa, and son-in-law, Ed. The store was then christened with the name Oliver Family Grocery.

The Simpsons put the “family” in the store’s new name while thinking of Teresa and Ed’s children, Eric and Chris-tine. When Eric was a baby, Barb and Teresa worked while he was snuggled under the counter. His eight-year-old sis-

ter often helps out at the store, busily working alongside her grandmother.

When he wasn’t busy with maintenance and upkeep, Al-lan could be found at the front of the store playing Keno or having a smoke outside the ice machine, always ready with a joke to share. He passed away in 2008, and Barb continues operating the business and has every intention of doing so for many years to come.

“I’m here 24/7,” she said, though her family and staff also help out. “I love it here. When the time comes (to re-tire), I’ll still be in Oliver. It’s a nice place and people are friendly.”

Like Roy Sturgess, Simpson has faced a great deal of change and competition in town, particularly with the opening of the Southwinds Crossing mall and the new Buy-Low Foods.

Has the new mall affected her business? “No, not at all. We’ve got more people in town and more upswing as far as customers supporting us. We’ve got more people wanting our stores to survive in town and spending their dollar in the community.”

Like Sturgess, Simpson has weathered the change in stride and has the confidence to stay competitive. “I have very loyal customers coming in every day,” she said. “I make sure I have the things they need. I try to keep my prices down to as low as possible to survive. I’m very com-petitive when it comes to everyday needs for people.”

Though the selection at Oliver Family Grocery is dif-ferent from back in Roy’s days, most of the staples can still be found: milk, cheese, soups, yogurt, ice cream, cold cuts, and bread. The irresistible candy counter has been replaced with a lottery centre – for which Oliver Family Grocery is now best known. Barb and her family continue to be an integral part of the store, always striving to greet customers with a smile and the regulars by name.

When asked how they felt about the old store still be-ing in business after 65 years, Bonnie and Ella exchanged a smile.

“She’s taking good care of it,” Bonnie said, to which Ella smiled again and nodded in agreement.

‘Go bats’ workshop to help local bat speciesThe Okanagan is noted for its large lakes,

rugged cliffs and sagebrush-covered hill-sides. The diversity of habitats also makes this area attractive to bats. Fourteen spe-cies of bats live here in the summer, more than occur anywhere else in Canada. Peo-ple realize that bats have an important role to play as insect predators and are fascinat-ing to watch, which has lead to a growing interest in putting up bat houses.

The Osoyoos Desert Society and Okana-gan Similkameen Conservation Alliance (OSCA) are offering a bat house-making seminar on Saturday, March 31st. Featured speaker will be Oliver biologist Mike Sarell, who has spent the last six months working

for a province-wide initiative to find out more about wintering bats. Until recently, it was thought that most local bats either migrated to warmer regions for the win-ter or hibernated right through the winter in local caves and mines. Evening surveys conducted by Sarell and other bat biolo-gists across southern B.C. show that there is some bat activity all winter long.

The study was funded by the Canadian Wildlife Service, Columbia Basin Trust and Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation due to concern about the catastrophic mortal-ity in some bat species in eastern North America due to white-nose syndrome. Since 2006, a fungal disease originating in

Europe has devastated colonies of hiber-nating bats in the eastern U.S.A. and four Canadian provinces. Three Canadian bats have recently been declared endangered, including the Little Brown Myotis (Little Brown bat), which was the most common bat species in North America. The fungus spores that cause white-nose syndrome are thought to have been spread from Europe to North America by peo-ple who explore caves as a hobby. The disease is estimated to have killed at least six million bats in North America so far.

The B.C. bat survey is an at-tempt to get better data on the prevalence and behaviour of resi-dent bats. “Before this survey we had no idea what most bats were doing in B.C.” said Sarell.

“We look for active bats with ul-trasonic bat detectors. We didn’t think we would find much activity but there’s lots of bat activity here, even some activity on re-ally cold nights.”

Sarell said that the Okanagan does not have large natural caves here. Talus slopes and deep rock crevices appear to be used

for winter sites by at least ten species of bats that he has observed. These sites need to be protected from rock quarrying and other activities that could disturb winter roosts.

Sarell will give a talk on the rich diversity of bat species in the Okanagan and the surprising re-search findings from this season’s field work at the March 31st work-shop. He believes that with the threat of white-nose syndrome, we should be doing all we can to protect and create bat habitat for both summer and winter bat pop-ulations.

For a $15 fee, pre-cut bat house materials will be given to partici-pants to assemble at the work-shop and take home. Instructions for locating and installing the bat houses will be provided and

people will be encouraged to monitor their boxes and report back on whether the box-es were occupied.

To register for the March 31 workshop in Osoyoos, contact the Osoyoos Desert Soci-ety [email protected] or call 250-495-2470. Space is limited so register early.

LET’S PUT STUDENTS

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority. The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate. There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated. Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers. 2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases.

It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases.

We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape.

Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

THANK YOUThe Hoover Family would like to thank the Oliver Fire Dept. for their prompt re-sponse in attending the grass fire that could have easily gotten out of control and burned the whole place down. They (the Oliver vol-unteers) were professional in every way. Congratula-tions men! We would also like to thank our neighbours who, after seeing smoke came to our aid, called 911 and helped to beat down the flames. Where would we be without friendly and caring neighbours and a top notch

OBITUARY

In loving memory

Olive MaudViolet (Venables)

Evanson1909 - 2012

Mrs. Olive Evanson passed away peacefully at Ex-tendicare Michener Hill in Red Deer, Alberta on Friday, February 24, 2012 at the age of 103 years.

Olive was born in Ontario on January 31, 1909 to Ernest Thomas and Alice Maud Venables. She had four older brothers: Frank, Jack, Bill and Vince. She is sur-vived by and will be greatly missed by her nieces, Arden McLaughlin, Yvonne Moore and Carolyn Walker and nephew, Barry Venables along with numerous great-nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews, and great-great-great nieces and nephews as well as a multitude of friends.

Olive spent her early years in Coleman, Alberta where she lived with her father and brothers. Later she lived in Quebec and British Columbia before returning to Alber-ta where she worked at the Winter Club. She also worked at a chicken culling plant, where she scrimped and saved so she could buy some land in the ‘west country’ where she became a successful pig farmer and was very proud of her carpentry skills, having constructed all her own buildings. Olive had a great love for animals and rescued many dogs and cats. She supported the SPCA and many people received assistance when their pet required vet-erinary services. Although mostly self-taught, Olive was passionate about books and learning; her great passion being history. She wrote several books, and many poems which she lovingly gave to her many nieces, nephews and friends. She also loved the simple things in life…like going to the A&W for coffee and ‘chips’ with her dear friend, Patricia, after which they would visit Dodd’s Lake to watch the ducks and geese; or attending the In-nisfail Farmer’s Market and having her special hot dog. Olive set such a good example with her kindness and generosity toward everyone.

At Olive’s request, there will be no funeral service, but if friends and family would like to do something in honour of her memory, surprise someone with an act of kindness, which she very often did.

Charles ElginOrr

1916 - 2012

Charles passed away peacefully in his sleep in Oliver, BC on February 29, 2012 at the age of 95.

Son of Ollie Orr and Elizabeth (Harris) Orr, Charles was born June 27, 1916 on the family farm in the Municipality of Riverside (18-6-17 Reg. 1896) near Dunrea, Manitoba and educated at Lilly Hill school.

Survived by sisters, Vada and Dulcie, and predeceased by brothers, Wallace and Lewis, and sisters, Lillian, Adeline and Eva.

Helen Russell (deceased 1987) and Charles married in 1939 and worked together farming and raising Juanita, Ken, and Russell, eventually moving to Wawanesa, in 1957. Charles actively supported the school board and the municipality, and was a successful farmer, long-time member of the Lions Club, avid curler and crib player.Retiring to Oliver, BC he was actively involved at the senior centre for over twenty years.

Always there for family, he will be dearly missed by his loving companion Alice Bye, daughter Juanita (Steven), son Kenneth (Brenda) and grand-daughter Kimberley, son Russell (Patricia) and granddaughter Kasey (Lloyd) and grandson Robert (Kimberly) and Robert Jr., grandson Jeffery (Diane), Dylan and Riley, and grandson Matthew.

peacefully in his sleep in Oliver, BC on February 29, 2012 at the age of 95.

We would like to extend our heartfelt Thank You

to the staff of the Palliative Care at the South Okanagan General Hospital

for the support shown to us during our fathers last few days. The respect and dignity shown to

our dad did not go unnoticed.

We feel blessed to have felt the warmth and support of our friends and family

and for those who sent cards, expressed words of comfort and sent flowers.

Our dad was a sweet, sweet man. It comforts us deeply that he touched

so many lives.

The Family of “Cliff” Marriott

Bill passed away peacefully at home in Oliver, BC with his wife Bunny, his children and

their spouses, and grandchildren at his side. It was very special that he could be at home in the competent and professional hands of Bunny, his granddaughter Stacey, and his two daughters-in-law Leanne and Patti. This family’s eternal gratitude is extended to them all, as was Bill’s. He will be lovingly remembered by all. His love of family was complete, as well as his love of life.

Bill is lovingly remembered by his wife, Bunny; his children, Karen, Wade (Patti), Jody (Dave), Neil (Arlene), Mark (Leanne), David (Trish) and Maxine (Guy); three sisters, eighteen grandchildren, one great-grandson as well as numerous extended family and friends.

He was predeceased by his father, Jake; mother, Susie; sister, Marianne; daughter-in-law, Susan and son-in-laws, Jim and Dave.

Bill possessed an independent nature, integrity and strong lofty principles. These attributes allowed him to have a mischievous sense of humour with a quick wink and a smile. He also said what he meant and stood by it. Keeping things simple and honorable were also under his umbrella. He was known as “Wild Willy” and he could make his silver hard hat fly.

He led a distinguished and interesting career. He picked fruit up and down the valley, tried carpentry, went mining in Copper Mountain. It was along this time that he met the love of his life “Bunny”. They got hitched in 1951 and became the proud parents of two children. In between these children and his retirement in 1999, they moved back to Oliver where they had five more children

Bill became very successful in the construction industry. He came back to work for his father Jake building windows and doors, then cabinets, and finally moved into residential and commercial construction. He was self-taught, and learned from Jake, experience and books. He taught his sons, grandsons, and many employees the intricacies of constructing solid, straight, speedy, and cost-effective buildings. His good judgement and excellent insight allowed many of us to stand on his shoulders and move forward.

Bill generaled hundreds of houses and bigger projects from Vernon to Princeton and many places in between under Seidler Sash and Door, and then Seidler Construction. Too numerous to mention all, however appropriate to mention the community centre, curling rink, the old IGA store, Oliver Bakery and mini-mall, the Kiwanis building and Midway fire hall to name a few.

Over the years Bill was a member of the Jr. Chamber of Commerce. He was a lifetime member of the Oliver Fire Department, served many years as assistant chief and was awarded a Life Membership. Bill was also a member of the Canadian Home Builders Association since 1993, a member of the South Okanagan Sportsmen’s Club, the curling club and Fairview Mountain Golf Club.

He loved to camp, hunt, fish, snowmobile, or just go for a drive with Bunny and Casey. He also loved to sit outside and read with a coffee and a smoke. (It was claimed he was a pro salmon guide.) Most recently his safaris into northern BC with his sons, son-in-law and grandsons in -30C November became a highlight. He loved the wall tent with the woodstove crackling, the coffee on, bucks on the meat pole and a good rum.

Bill maintained that life is a journey, enjoy it because all journeys come to an end when your number is up. Hopefully he has found a good campsite, cleared the snow, rigged up the tent, fired up the woodstove and has the coffee on.

A private family service was held graveside at the Oliver Municipal Cemetery.

Donations to the Desert Valley Hospice Society (P.O. Box 1261, Oliver, BC V0H 1T0) would be gratefully appreciated.

In Bill’s words; “I’ve had a good run”.

In loving memory

In loving memoryKalman

Nagy 1922 - 2012

Kalman passed away peace-fully at McKinney Place on March 7, 2012 at the age of 89. He was predeceased by his wife, Julianna; three sisters, two brothers and his partner of sixteen years Eleanor Mattes.

Kalman was born and raised in Rakoczifalva, Hungary where he enjoyed his youthful passion of soccer. He was in the Hungarian army and worked as a demolition technician during the revolution. After the revolution he and his wife escaped by walking over the border at night to Austria with only the clothes they wore and a few small possessions. After a time in France they emigrated to Canada and made their way to Fort St. John. There he operated a house construction company and a janitorial service with his wife. While hauling fruit from Oli-ver, north and to Alberta, he fell in love with the Okanagan and relocated here. After the loss of his wife, he met Eleanor at Elks bingo. They lived together for sixteen years until Elea-nor’s death in 2002.

Kalman was a warm, peace loving man who made friends with everyone he met. He will be missed by all his friends at bowling, bingo and the Hungarian Club, especially Joe, Kathy, Mike and Helen.

Thank you to the staff at McKinney Place and Dr. John-ston. A gathering of friends will be held in his memory later this spring.

Time can never repair

The impressions you leftare embedded in our memories

Your gentle touch, your warm embraceYour words of wisdom can never be replaced

If flowers grow in heaven Lord Please pick a huge bouquet

Place them in her loving armsOn this very sacred day

Then tell her they are from her family

Please take her into your armsAnd when you see her beautiful smile

Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for a while

Remind her that we love and miss herAnd of what she will always mean to her family

Refresh her cherished memoriesComfort her with our prayers for peaceful serenity

Our wish for YOU up above us in heavenWe hope hummingbirds flit around you always

Missing you forever

B16 Oliver Chronicle Wednesday, March 14, 2012 SPORTS

Seventy-nine-year-old Bob Slaney has a hard time walk-ing. But put a pair of skates on him and he’s all over the ice itching to score.

Slaney was one of 45 players who took part in the ninth annual Wine Capital Hockey Tournament at the Oliver are-na last week.

It’s the friendship and exercise that keeps Slaney com-ing back every year.

Simon Funk from Kaleden loves organized sports, par-ticularly the camaraderie of the Oliver tournament. The 64 year old plays hockey three times a week in Penticton and Summerland. If he didn’t, he’d be “gasping for air” at the Oliver tourney.

“I play hockey because of my health,” Funk admitted.George Yamada, 71, from Vernon has never missed a

tournament in Oliver. “It’s just like a reunion.”Big guy Bob Jadlonski from Kelowna is one of the more

graceful players on ice who knows how to score. The 72-year-old plays hockey four days a week.

Jadlonski said he keeps coming back to Oliver because “this is one of the best tournaments in the valley.” He likes the event because the teams are evenly matched.

Jadlonski took his hat off to organizer and referee Bob Grant for putting on a great event. “I like Bob, he’s a hell of a nice guy.”

The non-checking tournament offers good hockey, al-beit slower than most games. Rough play is kept to a mini-mum, but those who push it can easily set the other team up for a penalty shot.

These oldtimers know the game well and some of their passing skills are impressive. Although it’s nice to win games, they don’t get hung up on it.

Grant said this year’s tournament was “fantastic.” It be-gan with opening ceremonies at the Oliver Curling Centre. “The club did an outstanding job providing food and ser-vices, Grant said.

The next day (March 7) saw some great games and a skills competition. Grant said seven guys tied for first place, so they had to have a shoot-off with floor hockey sticks during the evening banquet. Grant said local player George Taylor was one of the men in the hunt for a prize.
