HITACHI EASYCAM SO SIMPLE, YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE IT Wednesday, October 27, 1993 — Local trekker donates to cause Keith Shelefontiuk of Castlegar recently completed the B.C. Lung Association's Bicycle Trek '93 in September. He raised $2,100 in donations that will go towards funding research for lung health. As an incentive to sponsors, Keith had a draw for one of his watercolor paintings that he donated to the cause. The painting, entitled Spider’s Lair, is of rocks and logs joined together by a dew-covered spider's web. Keith is proud to announce that the winner of the Painting is Fred Kinicki of Chevron Town Pantry. Keith Wednesday, October 27, 1993 There’s a lot of misinformation out there! This week I'd like to remind everyone that November is Dia betes Month. As a member of the Hospital's Diabetes Education Service, I see hundreds of diabet ics, their families or friends.
