This flat track roller derby tourna-ment will see eight of the top travel teams from western Canada battle it out to be crowned “Best of the West.” This year the competing teams will be from Vancouver, the Okanagan, Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary, Lethbridge and our very own Kootenay Kannibelles. The Kannibelles were an unknown, unranked last-minute entry to “Best of the West” last year and shocked the tournament with a last gasp 5-point loss to the 2nd seeded team in their

opening game. They won their other games in the tournament to finish 5th and also won respect and more fans in the process. As a result, the WKWRDL was approached to host the 2012 Best of the West.

The Kannibelles have a 5-1 record for 2012, which sees them go into this year’s tournament ranked 2nd in the west and 7th in Canada. They are incredibly excited to get to play in front of their home crowd and the rest of their league.

Kannibelles’ coach (Phil Yer Pants). says “any chance to play against the best is always exciting, but to get to do it at home and when the team has been performing so well all year puts an extra edge on the tournament.”

Information, day tickets and week-end passes available from www.koo-tenayrollerderby.com or tickets at the event. Tickets are $15 per day or $45 for the weekend. Special weekend rates for derby leagues ($30). Tickets at brownpapertickets.com.

The Kannibelles is an all star/travel team representing the West Kootenay Women’s Roller Derby League (WKWRDL). The team is made up of skaters from six of the seven house teams in the WKWRDL, including team captain Beretta Lynch, who represented Team Canada at the inaugural derby world cup in Toronto last December.

On June 1, while on reg-ular patrols, Nelson Police Members noted an intoxicat-ed male hitchhiking on Hwy 6 toward Salmo. He was found to be on probation for a serious assault in Salmo and was bound by a curfew and to abstain from consuming alcohol. The 18-year-old was arrested for these breaches of his conditions. He was held until he was sober and in compliance with the curfew then released to appear in court July 23 in Nelson.

On June 3, an NPD member was approached by staff at a local shop to report a suspicious older male who was hanging out in the store and making the female staff uncomfortable. He was offer-ing an applied kinesiology service to the women and

gave them a business card. The 75-year-old male is known to NPD members and a warning about his services has been previously released. He has no license to oper-ate a business in the City of Nelson. The male was advised to stop handing out his cards and presenting him-self as a legitimate business.

On June 4, Nelson Police Members responded to a report of youths kicking over signs in the construction zone in the 1000 block of Stanley St. Two males were located nearby and detained. One was arrested and lodged into cells for public intoxi-cation. While in custody he exhibited bizarre behav-iour and was transported by ambulance to Kootenay lake Hospital fearing he had

Flood watch in effect in RDCKJune 6, 2012 - The Regional

District of Central Kootenay’s (RDCK) Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) has moved to Level 3 status in response to several problem areas identified throughout the region. Level 3 indi-cates positions within the Emergency Operations Centre will be staffed on an ongoing basis until potential flood-ing threats have passed.

Heavy rainfall over the past 48 hours has caused creek and river lev-els to rise rapidly.

Currently, EOC staff and emer-gency personnel are focused on the following areas:

Crawford Creek – A dyke just west of the village centre has been experiencing water piping and some overtopping. Further dyke section failures could impact some residenc-es; as a precautionary measure a dec-laration of a local state of emergency

has been issued along with an evacu-ation alert for residents living in the alluvial fan area south of the dyke. This will impact approximately 25-30 residences.

Slocan Valley West Road – There is the potential for access to some residences on this road to be cut off if the Slocan River continues to rise. At this point in time, access is not compromised. A declaration of a local state of emergency has been issued as a precautionary measure.

Harrop-Procter Road – A cul-vert has been compromised and as a result Procter Creek has impacted the road near the Procter General Store. Maintenance contractors Yellowhead Road and Bridge (YRB) have respond-ed to ensure continued road stability and safe passage.

Highway 3A has been washed out near Gray Creek and is closed

temporarily. Travellers and area resi-dents should check the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructures Drive BC website: www.drivebc.ca.

While the amount of rain is expected to lessen over the coming hours, the forecast remains unsettled for the next few days. Residents need to exercise extreme caution around and near creeks, streams and rivers now and for the coming weeks until runoff recedes.

To report concerns regarding flooding threats, contact the EOC at (250) 352-8154 during regular office hours. Twenty-four-hour assistance is available by calling the Provincial Emergency Program at 1-800-663-3456. Information on emergency pre-paredness, including proper sandbag-ging techniques, is available at www.pep.bc.ca.

overdosed on street drugs. He was committed under the Mental Health Act until the cause of the irrational behav-ior could be determined.

On June 4, Nelson Police Members went to arrest a local male for utter-ing threats to an ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend. He was found intoxicated and

passed out in front of his home contrary to conditions of a probation order from previous charges. He was held in NPD cells until sober for court the following morn-ing to answer to the threat-scharges and breaching his probation conditions.

The Ministry of Forests (MOF), Lands and Natural Resource Operations plans to aerially treat up to 10,000 hectares of forest in the Kootenay-Boundary Region to reduce populations of western spruce budworm.

The proposed treatment locations are near Midway and Beaverdell. The pest management plan and maps of treatment areas can be viewed at the Kootenay-Boundary Region Forest Health Program office at 333 Victoria St. (4th floor) in Nelson, or online at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/rsi/ForestHealth/Western_Spruce_Budworm_Spray_2012.htm.

The biological insecti-cide “Foray 48B” will be applied by helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft on or about June 15-22, 2012, weather permitting. Foray 48B is a biological insec-

ticide that is widely used in B.C. and is registered with the Organic Materials Review Institute. The active ingredient in Foray 48B is the naturally-occurring bac-terium Bacillus thuringien-sis var. kurstaki (Btk). This spray only affects moth and butterfly larvae and can be used safely around humans and other animals. Birds, household pets, fish and beneficial insects (includ-ing honey bees) are not affected.

The western spruce budworm is an insect that is native to B.C. and the Pacific Northwest. In its larval stage, it defoliates Douglas fir, true firs, spruce and larch trees. A budworm outbreak has the potential to seriously harm or kill trees over large areas.

Feeling a little drafty in your home or business? Are you heating the out-side, and paying for it? Here’s a way to reduce your energy bills and save money – get retrofit!

The EcoSave Energy Retrofits program, sponsored by Nelson Hydro was launched just a month ago. Already 75 participants have regis-tered to learn how they can ‘get retro-fit.’ Through the program, homeown-ers receive a home energy assessment at a reduced price. This includes a customized retrofit plan and informa-tion on how to access up to $7,000 in LiveSmart BC rebates.

Even simple actions like caulk-ing and weather stripping can make

a difference. Upgrades like improved insulation and installing more effi-cient space and water heating systems can produce a noticeable reduction in utility bills.

To help participants make those investments, EcoSave offers low-cost financing that is repaid on your Nelson Hydro utility bills.

“On-bill financing is a unique benefit of the program, but there are many others,” says Carmen Proctor, EcoSave coordinator. “For example, if you register before July 31, you get a home energy assessment for $50. That’s a very good price.”

To learn more about the EcoSave program, Nelson Hydro commercial

and residential customers and con-tractors are invited to an information evening on Tuesday, June 12, at 7 pm at the Prestige Lakeside Resort.

EcoSave funding partners from Natural Resources Canada, FortisBC, Columbia Basin Trust and Nelson Hydro will be in attendance. LiveSmart BC and Nelson & District Credit Union representatives will talk about their roles in the EcoSave partner-ship.

A Certified Energy Advisor from City Green Solutions will speak, as will the first official participant in the EcoSave program who has already had a home energy assessment.

The intensive summer courses, offered in conjunction with Selkirk College and Nelson’s Elephant Mountain Literary Festival, will each occur half-days Monday to Friday at Selkirk’s Tenth St. cam-pus July 9 to 13 and July 16 to 20. Enrollees may take either course for post-secondary credit or for general interest.

The professional editing course (offered in the mornings) is useful for writers as well as prospective or current editors. It covers the role of editors in the publishing pro-cess, plus structural, stylistic, and copy editing. Okanagan College instructors for the course are Jeremy Lanaway, a 15-year veteran of the publishing industry and Corinna Chong, whose editing experience includes technical papers for the National Research Council as well as fiction for literary magazines.

Offered afternoons is the

course examining changes in lit-erary prose and poetry since the advent of movies, television and computers, and how writers today can apply those changes to their own writing. Teaching the course are Okanagan College faculty mem-bers Sean Johnston, a novelist and poet who edits Okanagan College’s literary magazine, Ryga, and Kevin McPherson Eckhoff, a poet and graphic novelist.

The Okanagan College courses represent the first time the College has offered in the West Kootenay ele-ments of its diploma program in writ-ing and publishing. More details on the Nelson courses, including infor-mation on registration and accom-modation, are available at www.emlfestival.com, or by contacting Elephant Mountain Literary Festival Co-ordinator Lynn Krauss at 250-505-1114 or [email protected]. Class size is limited, so poten-

tial participants should register early to avoid disappointment.

The Festival itself will bring to Nelson (July 12 to 14) four prize-winning Canadian authors along with editors from three Canadian literary presses. West Kootenay authors will be celebrated at a B.C. wine-tasting event and a literary cabaret. Recent financial support for the Festival has come from the Osprey Community Foundation, and the Parliamentary Poet Laureate the Library of Parliament. Other Festival sponsors to date include the City of Nelson (through Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives funding), the Canada Council for the Arts, Nelson and District Credit Union, Columbia Basin Trust, Kootenay School of Writing, Okanagan College and Selkirk College.

College marked the begin-ning of construction on their Castlegar campus Aboriginal Gathering Place with a ceremonial bless-ing and ground breaking. On May 24, 2012 they cel-ebrated the official open-ing of the facility with over 100 invited guests in atten-dance.

Selkirk College President, Angus Graeme explained “the project has always been grounded in the vision of a better col-lege for Aboriginal learn-ers, about the connection between celebrating culture and access to post-second-ary education.” The guest list for the celebration

included representatives of the Aboriginal groups with which the College has col-laborated in the develop-ment of the Gathering Place and on behalf of learners from the Aboriginal com-munity. Members of the Ktunaxa Nation Council, the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, the Métis Nation of B.C., and the Sinixt Nation Society were all in attendance.

Speakers representing Aboriginal governments spoke of the critical need to make post-secondary education more accessible, welcoming, and respectful of Aboriginal learners and their cultures.

A number of First Nations and Metis government leaders were pres-ent including (from left to right): Gwen Phillips, Governance Transition Coordinator for the Ktunaxa Nation Council; Angus Graeme, President and CEO of Selkirk College; Pauline Terbasket, Executive Director of the Okanagan Nation Alliance, and Darlene Zacherle, Councillor and Council Secretary of the Colville Confederated Tribes.

A slippery question: Is anti-bacterial hand soap safe?

dr. scienceChristine Humphries

Traditional hand soap works by breaking down the oil-based lipid chains of bacterial cell walls and killing the bacteria. However, many hand soaps have now added a broad spectrum antibac-terial agent that suppos-edly makes the soap more effective at removing bacteria from the hands. Triclosan is the most com-mon antibacterial agent found, at a concentration of 0.1 to 0.45 percent weight per volume, in a

variety of products includ-ing soap, deodorant, tooth-paste, mouthwash, clean-ing supplies and many fab-rics and plastics. Triclosan was first thought to act as a general bacteriocide and, like alcohol, kill bacteria on contact. However, in 1998, researchers found that triclosan is bacterio-static at the concentration found in soap and inhibits bacterial growth by acting on a specific bacterial tar-get. Triclosan works by binding and inhibiting an enzyme involved in fatty acid synthesis, resulting in impaired bacterial replica-tion and spreading.

Controversy has emerged in recent years on the effectiveness and safety of triclosan. The results from 27 studies reveal that antibacterial soap is no more effective than plain soap at preventing infec-tious illness and reducing the number of bacteria on hands. Furthermore, many studies show that some bacteria become resistant to triclosan and develop a broad resistance to anti-biotics. There are several ways bacteria can become resistant to triclosan. Some bacteria can pump triclosan out of the cell, while other bacteria become resistant if

they have mutations that prevent triclosan bind-ing or that cause over-expression of the triclosan binding protein to saturate triclosan binding. The emergence of these anti-microbial resistant bacte-ria has led some research-ers to recommend that triclosan should no longer be used by the general population in hand soap. However, people who are at risk for infection may benefit from antibacterial soaps as triclosan remains on the skin surface and may protect from bacteria contamination even after the hands are rinsed.

Imagine a commu-nity that is truly friendly to seniors. The Osprey Community Foundation believes Nelson could be that community.

Two years ago Osprey launched a community consultation process that identified some of the gaps in service and needs for Nelson-area seniors. Now, it is contracting with Nelson

CARES Society to work with the community to address these needs. Nelson CARES was chosen for its existing infrastructure, its community development experience, and because its proposed plan is a good fit with Osprey’s vision.

“We hope to move the community from “what is” to ‘what could be’,” says Nelson Ames, Osprey Board

member who is leading the Foundation’s work in this area. “How can the commu-nity support seniors to live full, rewarding lives? What kind of community do we want to live in? This is a dis-cussion that should involve all of us because we’ll all be seniors one day.”

The first step of the proj-ect will be to bring together members of the community

interested in this issue. An advisory steering committee will be formed and charged with hiring a project man-ager. This key person will work with the broader com-munity to shape a made-in-Nelson plan to make this a place where all seniors can live well and age with dignity.

Should post secondary education be free? Click here or visit the link below

Last week’s survey responses:Do you think Nelson needs more public art?

YES!!! This may very well act as a “deterrent” to unauthor-ized “tagging” and spray paint-ing. It gives Nelson “vibrancy” and appeal!

YES YES YES...why is this even a question????

I am a mural artist who lives in Nelson. I have created works of art across Western Canada, yet have never been able to get a commisson in my home town. I am part of the Nelson Chamber of Commerce and would love to see murals in my town.

YES. Let’s paint a big mural on the Big White Government Building, like a grapevine or something. And there should be a tasteful Egyptian-themed mural on the Civic Theatre to fit with the Art-Deco style architecture. Plus the Vernon St. side of the Extra foods building, if its staying.

YES, indeed I do...ABSOLUTELY we need

art everywhere!

Montréal has in recent news, been the scene of demon-strations against the high cost of post-secondary education. The demonstrations are likley to continue, and if not dealt with, they will spread across Canada and indeed, around the world.

Our priorities seem to be

out of line. We need to realize, it is our youth and students who will fix the mess we’ve created. Instead, we put them heavily into debt with increasingly high tuition rates.

Society can only benefit if education is free for all. Just as we provide free education up to high-school, we can cer-

tainly find a way to provide it thereafter. Having an educated populous is an ingredient to civilized society.

This is not a “black and white” issue, and modifica-tion will need to be done. Our priorities need to get straight; we must make education more accessible to all.

YES indeed, efforts like BOB’s mural should continue around town. I’m really sad that Nelson can’t get it together to have a “sculpture” show every summer like Castlegar. Come on folks, bring it on ! ! There’s talent here, someone please step up to the plate! Mayor Dooley? Council? Artists?

NO! I love and support art, but huge murals plastered onto public surfaces make me feel cluttered and claustrophobic and chaotic. Bridges and pub-lic buildings should have their OWN beauty as works of art, and are only cluttered and de-harmonized by murals that do not fit into their rhythm – that even WRECK their rhythm. We need to find OTHER ways to promote public art – such as public painting walls designed harmoniously for the purpose.

ABSOLUTELY; lets beauti-fy Nelson and extol the virtues of our artists. Down with those causing destructive deface-ment of public places.

NOT really, I think the mural on BOB is distracting and tacky. The City should have been more choosy about the artists. It should have been less “modern” and blaring. I see this becoming very out-dated, very quick.

YES, definitely. Castlegar is much more attractive as a city than we are here in Nelson because of their public sculp-tures!

YES! Of all kinds. Let it be loved or hated, but let us have art.

YES, other communities in B.C. have benefitted greatly from public art (White Rock and many more.) Breaks the everyday boredom and can pick up the spirits.

NO. It looks like BOB got a stupid tatoo. There are no ben-efits of these displays of what some call “Art.”

There was a time when we talked about the “two soli-tudes” in Canada, referring to a divide between French and English Canada. Although dif-ferences still exist between our two founding cultures, they are now more often celebrated than not.

Over the past few years, however, I have seen “two new solitudes” emerge. Let’s call them “Neo-Conservative” and “Progressive.” Though we may speak the same language, we really do not understand each other. I notice this in the House of Commons, particular-ly. There are major differences in how these two new solitudes perceive the world and I would like to discuss these over my next two columns.

One solitude sees for Canada a role on the world stage that is a significant shift from the values that our coun-try has traditionally represent-ed. The current Conservative government wants Canada to become a proud military nation that makes major contributions to war efforts in areas such as Afghanistan and Libya. This focus means that our military must be equipped and trained to engage in more combat mis-sions throughout the world, usually at the side of the US in NATO-led missions. The latest military technology, like the F-

Members of the Nelson Chapter Council of Canadians have been concerned over the increase of oil spills and the potential risks posed through the carrying of raw tar sands crude (bitumen) in pipelines from Alberta tar sands to the coast of Kitimat. The pipelines are intended to cross unstable BC mountainous terrains as well as over 785 rivers and streams to be exported to Asian markets on tankers with a holding capacity of up to 8 times more than the Exon Valdez. These tankers are planned to travel through 185 kilometres of some of the most dangerous and unpredictable waters in the world.

To build community awareness, members held a forum in Nelson May 30th. The forum featured disturb-ing facts about possible impacts of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline and Alberta tar sands production. Speakers were Bill Jo Bray, president of Visions for Our Future (a grassroots group of indigenous people on the Colville Indian Reservation) and representative of the Western Mining Action Network; organizer and activist Meghan Anderson; Ora Cogan,

Co-founder of the Salt Spring No Pipeline Coalition;Art Sterritt, Executive Director of the Coastal First Nations; and Andrew Nikiforuk , inves-tigative journalist and author of Tar Sands: Dirty Oil and the Future of a Continent,who stated, “The debate about the Northern Gateway project will determine the future of Canada. Fight now or lose everything noble and honorable about your country”.

Mr. Sterritt said “more and more, average everyday people are realizing how the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline will profoundly change their lives, and each day more are fighting for democracy and for their say in what happens in their prov-ince and elsewhere”.

The event was sponsored by the Nelson Chapter Council of Canadians, Kootenays for a Pipeline- Free BC, and Kootenay Region Branch United Nations Association in Canada.

The Nelson Chapter of the Council of Canadians meets monthly and welcomes new members. For more information, please contact [email protected].

35 first strike jets, needs to be in place to fit into this version.

The other solitude believes that Canada has lost its leader-ship role in world peacekeep-ing and that we should return to our role of working within the United Nations and con-centrate on making defence a priority for our armed forces. This change would require that Canada leave Afghanistan and decline other missions with NATO, an organization origi-nally set up in 1949 to pro-tect Europe from communist aggression. Canada should play a greater role as a bro-ker in peaceful settlements in the Middle East, Africa and other areas of conflict. Military purchases should provide the equipment to get the job done and keep our troops, and civil-ians, safe.

This past November I intro-duced a Private Member’s bill to create a federal Department of Peace. Bill C-373 passed first reading in the House of Commons on November 30, 2011.

The work of a Department of Peace would be to strengthen non-military means of peace-making by developing policies and programs that promote national and international con-flict prevention, non-violent intervention, mediation and peaceful conflict resolution. Bill C-373 outlines wide-rang-ing objectives for a Department of Peace that would tackles domestic and international responsibilities in the areas of human security and education.

The notion that there can be peace in the world may be a utopian ideal but each gen-eration owes it to the next to make a dedicated attempt to get as close to it as humanly possible.

Confined Space, pub-lished by Simon & Schuster this June, was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for an unpublished first crime novel. The novel is set in a small town with a West Kootenay feel, where ex-Canadian Forces command-

er-turned coroner Bern Fortin investigates a death in the brewery. What starts as a routine

investigation—a worker accident in a bottle-washing tank—quickly becomes murderous in more ways than one. The character of Fortin, suffering from the effects of his own combat past, is as complex as the small-town relationships he encounters.

“Murder in the Brewery,” is not the title of the book, but it is the title of the event, which is both a celebration of an exceptional new talent and a fundraiser for Nelson Public Library collections, particularly the mystery

collection. The author will read from the book in a special presentation and sign cop-ies for sale on-site by Otter Books.

A menu of sinfully-delicious appetizers prepared by Max & Irma’s will be paired with some of Nelson Brewing Company’s finest beers in combinations so good, they should be illegal, in crime.

The photographs of David R. Gluns are familiar to some: his work appears on many local websites and tourism brochures, and he’s the feature photographer for the coffee table book: Nelson, British Columbia. Now, a selection of some of his finest work is on dis-play at the Nelson Public Library.

Dave Gluns travels everywhere with an inspired eye, consummate skill, and a good camera—or two or three. It’s paid off: his pho-tographs have appeared in a number of national and inter-national magazines including Beautiful British Columbia, Western Living, Bike, Westworld, Cycle Canada, B.C. Women, Northwest Travel, Golf West, Sunset, Western Living, Canoe and Kayak, and Explore. His cli-ent list includes municipali-ties, financial institutions, colleges, corporations, and Provincial ministries.

An avid skier, hiker, and outdoorsman, Dave also leads treks in Nepal, his camera always close by. In support of education opportunities for Nepalese children, he has held fund-raising slideshows of his Nepal images. Gluns is also a fixed-wing pilot and often works in conjunction with Nelson Mountain Air doing aerial photography.

Recently, Dave retired from his day job as a for-est hydrologist and now devotes more time to his “other work.” The exhibi-tion at the Library continues through July.

Tales and Rails: Electric Tram Barn tour and Art Joyce talk Sunday, June 10, 1 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. at Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History.

On Sunday, June 10 local historian, Art Joyce, will give a talk on the subject of Nelson’s public transportation history including its fabulous electric trams and its less-celebrated but still vital, buses. Learn not just historical dates but some of the social and political issues that Nelson City Councils had to deal with over a century of providing public trans-portation.

Following the talk at Touchstones Nelson, the Tram Barn will be open for touring (2:30- 4:30pm). Ticket holders can ride the tram to the Barn for a chance to check out the Tram museum and visit Car #400. ($10 per person: Includes talk, tour and tram ride) Makes a great pre-Father’s Day present!

What’sHappening theExpress Update Friday, June 1, 2012 Page 12

Vernon author, educator and musician John Lent, an instruc-tor at Nelson’s former Notre Dame University, will launch his new novel, The Path to Ardroe. The launch, part of Oxygen Art Centre’s Presentation Series, is free and open to the public.

The novel follows four characters who grew up in, or who were influenced by, post-World War II Edmonton, and at the time of the story are variously liv-ing in Scotland, France and the Okanagan Valley. “I can think of no Canadian writer,” wrote Canadian literature icon Robert Kroetsch about Lent, “who so thoroughly positions in front of us the mirror that might offer us at once both reality and the imagined.”

His other poetry and fiction publications include the novel So It Won’t Go Away, shortlisted for the 2005 B.C. Book Prizes. A parallel career as a musician began in Nelson when he performed as a folksinger under the name Johnny Fargo.

Currently he performs as part of the Vernon-based jazz and roots group, the Lent/Fraser/Wall Trio.

Former NDU instructor launches latest book Friday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Nelson’s Oxygen Art Centre, 320 Vernon St. (alley entrance).

Movie night in Nelson! The showing is on Friday, June 15 at 7:30 at Self Design High, located on the 2nd floor of the Legion Building, at Victoria and Stanley Streets.

This is your opportunity to sit down with popcorn and juice to see a large-screen, full-length documen-tary. The Nelson Refugee Committee brings you the documentary “Obachan’s Garden.” This movie won four awards: “Most popular Canadian film,” “Best documentary,” “Best sound,” and Vancouver’s “VFCC award.” Slowly, layer by layer, filmmaker Linda Ohama reveals Asayo Murakami’s past, including her arrival in Vancouver, the bombing of Hiroshima and the family’s forced relocation during WW II.

This is a fund raiser with a suggested donation of $10.00.

Loreen (Lori) Elizabeth Sand was the eldest of eight children born to Joseph and Maria Tockor in Esterhazy Saskatchewan. (siblings: Marion- deceased, Stan, Don-deceased, Shirley, Wayne-deceased, Ken, Marcia) She married Wilfred Elroy Sand on June 14th, 1952 and eventually settled in Alberta. Lori is survived by Wilfred, and by their four children: Garnett, Sharrie, Cyndi (Todd), and Jackie (Bob). She is also sur-vived by ten grandchildren: Jessica (Cody), Niki (Dereck), Linzey, Tara, Kyle, Mallory, Adam, Adele, Kohe and Mclain; and by eight great grandchildren: Ashley, Braydon, Cameron, Paris, Paige, Emmersyn Lou, Oakley, and Malee.

Our mom/ Nana had a tremendous amount of energy which she funneled into activities such as: canning a year’s worth of fruit for a family of six, running the kid’s club, throwing birthday parties, and mak-ing a home. She kept our dad hopping for well over fifty years. She could be found renovating a house, building a greenhouse, landscaping and fencing a yard. To say

her thumb was green is a huge understate-ment!

She was willing to pack up a motor home and take road trips with grandchildren. She strived to create individual and memorable trips for each of them. She sewed bridal gowns, grad dresses, beautiful children’s clothes, and even cloth diapers by the hundreds. She decorated wedding cakes, started a business, ran a business, started another, and another, and maybe even another. What she lacked in business savvy she made up for with entrepreneurial spirit. She was famous for her garage sales!

She was a dreamer. She loved to sing. She loved to dance. She loved to create beautiful places. She took deep pride in her kids, grandkids and great grandchil-dren. She loved animals, and in particular Muffin, Shadow and Patches. For years she hosted a family of swallows just above her front door.

She was a very spirited, strong willed, opinionated, and independent kind of per-son. She never gave up on getting her way, and she drew on that strength to get through and to face the tremendous challenges of her illness combined with the enormous mountain she climbed after her car accident in November of 2010.

We are deeply grateful for the excep-tional care provided to her by Dr. Lisa Vasil and Dr. P. Malpass, the IHA staff, the staff at We Care and Neighbourhood Nursing, Stacy McCarty, and BC Ambulance Paramedics.

In lieu of flowers you may make a dona-tion in her name to your local SPCA, if you wish. Or perhaps next winter you might set up a bird feeder, and then promise to keep it full.

A memorial will take place at a later date.
