Animal Alliance targets B.C. tourism Campaign will try to discourage visitors to province because of wolf cull C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

An animal rights group based in Toronto is taking the province of British Columbia to task over the recent wolf cull. The cull was ordered this winter to protect the dwindling South Peace and South Selkirk Mountain Caribou herds from more loss due to predation. Animal Alliance of Canada spokesperson Liz White says a campaign will be launched, in conjunction with other British Columbia groups, and it will target tourism. The goal will be to convince potential visitors to the province, specifically in the U.S. states bordering

B.C., that they may want to stay home. “The idea is that B.C.’s tourism industry is pretty important,” White said. “Visiting B.C. is especially enticing to Americans because of our dollar in relation to theirs; their money goes a lot further. There is increased interest in spending time in B.C. I think a number of people would be very interested in what the B.C. government is doing to wildlife. We hope to influence people not to come.” The campaign will involve print advertising and other media in the border states and possibly Alberta. “It sends a very strong message,” White said.

Well they say change is good...and the organizers of this year’s Relay For Life have certainly taken that to heart. The Canadian Cancer Society’s signature fundraiser is celebrating its 16th year in Cranbrook this spring, and preparations to ensure that this is the best Relay yet are well underway. “We are excited to be bringing a re-invented, refreshed and revitalized event to the community of Cranbrook this year.” says organizer Lori Stevenson. “Consider this almost like Relay Version 2.0! All your favorite aspects of Relay remain, but everything has been overhauled to give this event some new vigor.” The event facelift begins with a new date, time and home. Relay will be held a week later than usual, June 6 this year, and is moving downtown to Rotary Park. The new location will make the event more visible to the public and hopefully attract passersby to come in and experience the emotion and magic of Relay For Life. The change that the organizers are most excited about however is the shortened event format. Relay has always been a 12 hour event, and there are very strong symbolic reasons why participants have been asked to make this time commitment and sacrifice. However, in the almost 30 years since Relay’s beginnings, the world is a very different place. “People are so much busier now than they were even 16 years ago when Relay first came to

The poems themselves can be in any style, but wait - they must be written with performance in mind and the performance or recitation of a poem must take no more then 60 seconds.

All submissions will be accepted, by email, fax or handed-in hard copies. They will be judged here at the Townsman by numerous judges and lovers of poetry, and the five favourites will be chosen to make a short list. The five finalist poets will then be recorded reciting their poems for videos, to be posted on our website. If you as the poet are uncomfortable being filmed “slamming” your poem, an actor will do it for you. The public will then be invited to vote for the winning poem. Send your poems to barry@dailytownsman.com, or drop them off at 822 Cranbrook Street North, V1C 3R9.

Cranbrook. The demands on people’s time have increased exponentially, and for many, a 12 hour time commitment for an event is difficult.” Stevenson hopes that cutting the Cranbrook event down to 6 hours will make it easier for participants to commit. “The event is a fundraiser – we need the people in order to make it successful - we need an event that works for our community members.”

Locks will be shorn for a good cause at the 16th Cranbrook Relay For Life, coming June 6, 2015, in Rotary Park The new hours of the event will be 4:30 - 10:30 pm. As always, things will kick off with the Survivors lap and end with the luminary ceremony – loyal Relayers will be happy that these pillars of the event will remain the focus. The organizers are busy rounding up a multitude of dinner and snack options so that everything you need for the duration of the event will be onsite, with something to appeal to every taste. Another exciting change this year is in the entertainment. The organizers want to showcase our talented community members a bit

differently, and will be running a “Cranbrook’s Got Talent” contest in the months preceding Relay. Any community member that has a talent can visit the Cranbrook Relay For Life Facebook page to enter the contest and take their shot at the $500 cash prize generously sponsored by Cranbrook Dodge. Contestants submit a video of their performance, the videos will be broken into rounds and public votes will determine which acts move on to the finals, performing at the event on June 6. Early bird registration is on now until March 1st and is only $10 per person. As usual, there are prizes up for grabs for early registrants – one iPad for BC and for Cranbrook registrants a chance at a $100 prepaid Visa card. “We typically have only about 150 people registered by the early bird deadline, so your chances of some free cash are pretty good,” Lori says. While it is early days in procuring prizing for the event itself, the team is thrilled to already have a fabulous fundraising incentive prize secured. Waterways Houseboats in Sicamous has provided a 3 day weekend or 4 day mid-week vacation on a 60’ Genesis boat that sleeps up to 18 people. One entry for the draw will be earned for every $300 that participants raise. Visit www. relayforlife.ca/cranbrookkimberley and get your team registered today – you do not want to miss this event! You can also connect with Lori at 250-426-8916 for more info.

Kimberley’s 2nd Annual Community Soup Jigger For the Bulletin

What’s a soup jigger you ask? This now annual community event brings residents and local businesses together to make, sample and vote for Kimberley’s best soup as well as raise money for two different causes! This year, 50% of proceeds will go towards the ongoing efforts to raise money for the Chapman Camp Playground, which will break ground in the coming months. The other 50 per cent will go towards a charity the restauranteurs collectively choose - (to be announced). This event was well attended last year and had a great community vibe. The Kimberley Independent School (KIS) is thrilled for an even bigger turn out of vendors next week. Some of this years participants

include: BeanTree, Bear’s Eatery, Burrito Grill, Downtown Deli, (last year’s winner) Green Door, Heart Beet Café, Pedal & Tap, Mountain Range, Snowdrift, Stonefire and more still joining! Join the Chapman Camp Playground Committee and KIS as they host Kimberley’s second annual Community SoupJigger on Sunday, February 22nd from 12:30-2:30. Cost is $7 for adults & $5 for kids. This gets you 10-12 one ounce samples of soup and if you’re still hungry you can go back and get a cup of your favourite one. Bonfire, snacks and games are free! Come support a new playground for local kids and the community of restauranteurs we are so fortunate to have here in Kimberley.

Report addresses recreation issues at Koocanusa Tre vor Cr awley Townsman Staff

After concerns about recreation issues were raised by local residents around Koocanusa Reservoir, the Columbia Basin Trust, in partnership with other stakeholders, has released a report with a list of recommendations to address economic value, ecological integrity and health and safety. Local residents have voiced concerns on the rise of increased tourism and recreation on Crown land, which includes degradation of sensitive grasslands and wildlife habitat, impacts on cultural areas, excessive litter and garbage in the backcountry. The report, released in early February, includes immediate, short-term and medium long-term goals. A few of those goals include: developing and communicating crown land recreation guidelines (immediate), enhance solid waste management facilities (immediate), link collections of fines from

forestry-related offences to drivers license renewal (short-term) and expand and promote options for reporting illegal or dangerous activities on Crown land (medium long-term). The Koocanusa area is a regionally important tourism and recreation asset, attracting outdoor enthusiasts that range from wildlife viewing to off-road vehicle use. It is also an area of traditional First Nations use and falls within the territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. The report was commissioned from a group that includes Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and the RDEK. The Ktunaxa Nation Council, Tobbaco Plains Indian Band and the Columbia Basin Trust were also involved, all of which formed the Koocanusa Recreation Steering Committee. “Constituents in this area have identified long-standing issues,” said Bennett. “That’s why I brought

this group of agencies together to explore how we can effectively maintain important tourism and recreation opportunities in the are a while reducing some of the negative impacts.” To identify issues and potential solutions, consultants engaged with First Nations, government, res-

idents, property owners, visitors, local businesses and non-governmental and community organizations in the summer of 2014. “The Trust is pleased to be able to facilitate and convene this group around this important issue,” said Neil Muth, CBT president and CEO. “By partnering and com-

missioning this report, we can now help identify actions to ensure the lands around the reservoir are appropriately maintained for all.”

Recommendations identified in the report will be implemented in the coming months by the KRSC. For more information on the report and the recom-

mendations contained within, visit www.koocanusarecreation.ca.

More money needed to fight invasive weeds From page 1 However, there are challenges as well, Larsen said. Kimberley is one of the worst municipalities in the RDEK in terms of number of weed sites, variety of weed species, insufficient budget, and lack of plan. Neighbouring land managers vary in comparison. Teck lands are well managed, Kimberley

Alpine Resort is not. Private landowners are frustrated when they control weeds, but have constant spread from City of Kimberley properties. Who manages weeds in alleys? 2014 budget: $16,000. No plan was in place to manage weeds, complaint driven. Cosmetic pesticide bylaw may create confusion amongst residents,

but does not affect noxious weed control. Coun. Bev Middlebrook asked Larsen how much money is required if $16,000 is not enough. Larsen said about 60 per cent more was required. He also said a full plan for dealing with invasive weeds was needed. “We know where all the big pockets of weeds are in Kimberley, it’s just money to get them.”

From page 1 Asked for comment on the campaign, Kootenay East MLA and Minister of Energy and Mines, Bill Bennett, did not address it directly but did further explain the reasoning behind the cull, saying wolves must be managed just like any other species in the province. “Caribou aside, most prey species are managed intensively,” Bennett said. “Deer, elk, sheep, goats, moose have all kinds of special

seasons and rules in attempts by professional wildlife managers to manage the size and overall health of populations. We are long past the times of “letting nature take its course” when it comes to these prey species. But what about predators? We try to manage bears and cougars with hunting and are marginally successful. As for wolves, this species of predator does not lend itself to hunting or trapping. Wolf populations can

ing cattle if not controlled. They must be managed just like other wildlife species in North America.” Animal Alliance has also been an outspoken opponent of deer culls in B.C. Asked if the deer cull in Oak Bay on Vancouver Island or the upcoming cull in Cranbrook might be a part of the campaign, White said likely not. “We certainly encouraged people not to visit Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere and Elkford for those reasons,” White said. “But the wolf cull and deer cull are two very different issues although the end result to animals is the same. “It may be the kind of thing we could roll in.”

only be managed thru special methods like culls. It makes no sense to manage prey species and not also manage predators. To not manage predator species is to guarantee an imbalance of too many predators. Most experienced hunters and trappers in the Kootenays will tell you there is an imbalance of too many wolves right now. “There are so many myths about wolves. As beautiful as they are, it is not true that wolves only take old and weak prey. It is not true that wolves kill only what they can eat. And it is not true that wolves do not attack humans. Wolves are beautiful experts at killing and can wreak havoc on wildlife populations and rang-

Annual health care crisis grips B.C.

he annual ritual of declaring a crisis in health care is upon us, with the B.C. Liberal government boasting that we have the best system in Canada, while the NDP and the B.C. Nurses’ Union try to portray it as the worst. The BCNU is the last big public sector union still to settle in the latest round of contract talks. Feeding horror stories to the media is part of its strategy, and this time it was a patient at Abbotsford Hospital assigned a bed in a small shower room for a month due to chronic overcrowding. Hospital officials said his care wasn’t compromised. We’ve seen it in Abbotsford, Surrey and elsewhere: a new hospital or expansion is built and is immediately overcrowded. We are reminded every winter that influenza season brings a wave of people into emergency, expecting treatment for a viral infection that in most cases can only run its course. Many people still don’t understand what “the flu” is, beyond the notion that it sounds serious enough to tell the boss you won’t be in to work. And as fewer doctors choose the endless demands of family practice, the expectation that all problems must be dealt with quickly and for free seems to grow as in-

exorably as the health care budget. An emergency physician of my acquaintance provided a typical scenario for night shift at the ER. Where once nights were quiet, now there are patients waiting for hours, around the clock. Several are drunk, and one has urinated on the floor. Surveys show as many as half of ER visits are alcohol-related, from overdoses to fights, falls, car crashes and chronic conditions. Into this chaos comes a BC VIEWS mother with her young child, who has nasal and Tom chest congestion. The Fletcher child’s cough led her to throw up, so off to ER they went, blithely assuming that this is where you bring a kid with a cold. This week’s B.C. budget brings us a step closer to the moment when half of all provincial revenues go to keep the health care system running. In the legislature, NDP health critic Judy Darcy blasted Health Minister Terry Lake for the government’s failure to keep its 2010 promise to find everyone in B.C. a family doctor. Lake allowed they’re still working on that, and then plugged the latest Conference Board of Canada study showing B.C. ranks third in the world in health care

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

outcomes, second only to Switzerland and Sweden. Darcy, a former president of the Hospital Employees’ Union, was quick to respond: “This is surely a first in question period, the Minister of Health going back to the record of the NDP government in the 1990s, because we’ve had the best health outcomes in Canada since 1993. The fact is that we exercise more, we smoke less and we drink less, and that’s to the credit of British Columbians.” We also have more elderly people, as Premier Christy Clark argued in 2011 when the federal government changed its financing formula. After years of increasing transfers by six per cent per year, the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty announced that starting in 2014, increases would be tied to economic growth, but wouldn’t fall below three per cent. This of course was treated as a cut, rather than continued increases above inflation. But there it is, and all provinces have to deal with it. Darcy is quite right that personal responsibility is the key, something to remember as the usual squabbling of special interests continues.

Sam Reinhart faces off against Hurricanes forward Mike Winther Tuesday.

A total of 94 seconds was all the Kootenay Ice needed to blow things open en route to a 5-2 victory over the Lethbridge Hurricanes Tuesday night. “Territorially in the second period, we had the advantage. I know from the shots it looked tight, but it wasn’t,” said Kootenay Ice head coach

Island demise

Avalanche men eliminated; Lady Avs prepare for PACWEST Championships Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It was a rough weekend for both College of the Rockies Avalanche volleyball squads, as both the men and women went winless on each of their respective four-match swings across Vancouver Island. The weekend was an especially difficult one for the men, whose season came to an early end as they were eliminated from PACWEST Volleyball Championships contention for only the second time in the program’s 15-year history. Thursday and Friday, the ladies fell to the Van-

couver Island University (VIU) Mariners (3-0, 3-1) before dropping matches against the Camosun Chargers Saturday and Sunday (3-1, 3-0). “We found out exactly what the two teams ahead of us were all about,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin Tuesday. “Vancouver Island University, probably, is the team to beat within the PACWEST. Camosun, who is ranked No. 2 in Canada, is very beatable.” The Lady Avs finish the regular season 11-13 and in the fifth slot in the PACWEST. Now, the focus turns to

the PACWEST Volleyball Championships, which begin Feb. 26 at Camosun College. The full PACWEST women’s picture is still be to determined with all PACWEST squads, other than the Lady Avs, in action this weekend. Despite the setbacks, Zurrin is confident his crew can make some noise at the conference championships. “We’re positioned perfectly for this provincial run,” Zurrin said. The men’s team is dealing without a trip to the PACWEST Championships for only the second time in the program’s 15-year history. After dropping a straight-sets loss Thursday to VIU, the Avs bounced back Friday, jumping out to a twosets lead before dropping three straight in a 3-2 loss. “That was a heartbreaker and that one ended up being the match we needed to win to make provincials,”

said Avs head coach Steve Kamps. The situation didn’t get any better Saturday and Sunday, as the Avs dropped matches to Camosun (3-0, 3-1). Combining the Avs defeats with a victory for the Capilano University Blues over the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades Sunday morning, the Avalanche fell into seventh place in the PACWEST standings. With no games remaining the Avs were officially eliminated, finishing 5-19. “It’s a 24-game season and there’s all these games we could’ve and should’ve won,” Kamps said. “It goes back to taking care of business at home and we didn’t do that this year. It’s obviously frustrating. “It’s not like we didn’t have the talent. It was there. It was just putting it all together. The guys did that on Sunday at least, so we went out fighting.” Visit dailytownsman. com for more.

Ryan McGill over the phone from Lethbridge Tuesday night. “We did a good job of managing the puck and not giving it away. If you did time of possession, I’d say we did a good job of that.” Forward Tim Bozon tied a Kootenay Ice record by scoring the fastest road goal in franchise history eight seconds into the third period. The record was originally set Dec. 18, 1998 by Steve McCarthy in Red Deer. The power-play tally stood as the eventual game-winning goal, putting the Ice ahead 3-1 in a game they had largely controlled despite the tight score. “You score eight seconds in [to the third period] on the power play, that pretty much solidifies it right away,” McGill said. “It just breaks their confidence.” Bozon’s tally gave the native of Valbonne, France, his 12th goal in as many games, dating back to a hat-trick against the Edmonton Oil Kings Jan. 22. “His teammates [are] getting him the puck,” McGill said. “It’s not all Tim. Collectively, the group has done a good job of getting him the puck in the areas and he’s shot the puck. “When he’s getting opportunities to shoot the puck he tries to get it away quick. His teammates are getting him

the puck so that’s a good sign.” After Bozon gave the Ice a two-goal lead, only 86 seconds elapsed before Troy Murray extended the advantage to 4-1. Matt Alfaro scored his second of the night with a power-play goal 7:08 into the third period, giving the Ice a commanding 5-1 lead. Hurricanes forward Mike Winther responded with his second of the night to round out the third-period scoring. After the two teams battled to a scoreless draw through the first half of the game, Ice veteran Austin Vetterl started the festivities midway through the second period with his 10th goal of the campaign. Alfaro and Winther exchanged goals as the two teams went into the second intermission with only one goal between them. Alfaro finished the night with two goals and an assist, tying a career high for points in a game. “We need second and third effort around the net,” McGill said. “Both [Alfaro’s] goals were scored within 10 feet of the net . That’s what has to happen. He has to use his big frame and do that consistently and he did it tonight.” With one goal and one assist, Murray also produced a multipoint night. Ice forward Jaedon

Descheneau provided helpers on both power-play markers. Goalie Wyatt Hoflin made 17 saves for his 28th win of the season. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for the Ice. Inconsistency has mired the team all season long. “We kept our shifts fairly short. We needed to be competitive in every situation and managed the puck properly,” McGill said. “When you do that, the game’s easy. We have to understand that, going into Friday against a team we need to stay ahead of [the Oil Kings], we need to play the exact same way. That’s how you develop consistency. You make sure you’re doing things the right way every shift by being focused and making sure that everybody going out on the ice is on the same page within themselves.” Tuesday’s road victory boosted the Ice to 2927-1-1, two points ahead of the Edmonton Oil Kings (26-26-4-2) for the first wild-card seed in the WHL’s Eastern Conference. Looking the other direction, the Ice trail the Red Deer Rebels by seven points for third in the Central Division. Next up, the Kootenay Ice return home to host the Edmonton Oil Kings Friday night at Western Financial Place.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Please help me bring awareness and education about organ donation. There are thousands of people waiting for a transplant and hundreds of others awaiting replacement of a previously transplanted organ. Many organ recipients outlive the longevity of their transplant. Please tell your readers that living organ donors offer better longevity than organs from a cadaver donor. Finding donors promptly is also less expensive and much better health-wise. In recent years, a great deal has changed with transplants for both the recipient and living donors; i.e. kidney transplants are now being done laparoscopically, and recuperation for the donor now averages only two weeks. Potential recipients use every resource available, but don’t always find a match. Please ask your readers to help those in need. Sadly, our family knows the importance of this from personal experience. -Lawrence, Kan. Dear Lawrence: So many people are on waiting lists for organs, we hope our readers will consider living organ donation. People may not realize that they can donate one of their two kidneys, or even one of two lobes of their liver. They also can donate part of a lung, the pancreas or the intestines because the remaining portions stay fully functional. And finally, living donors can donate skin, bone, blood, marrow, blood stem cells and umbilical cord blood after childbirth and certain surgical procedures, such as hip or knee replacement. Organ donors are NOT charged, although sometimes there are other costs, such as travel expenses. For more information on organ donation, check out organdonor.gov. For financial assistance, contact livingdonorassistance.org. Dear Annie: When I was growing up, women’s magazines used to give advice on how to avoid being harmed by predatory men. Now they give advice on ways to please a man. There’s an old saying, “Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?” If women want to marry a good man and raise a family, they shouldn’t have sex until after marriage. When my daughter was 16, she asked whether it was OK to sleep with a man if he says he loves you. I said no, he would lose respect for her. She didn’t listen. Now she is living with a man who says she is his “partner.” They just had a child. It turns out he is married to another woman, and they have a toddler. My daughter has fallen for the old line that he’ll marry her once his wife divorces him. Women should ask themselves what they get out of hooking up and shacking up. Nothing. If you want the best from a man, don’t settle for a low-class bum who won’t commit. -- A Wiser Gramma Who Knows Men Dear Gramma: Your opinions have merit, but they are based on the ideas that all men lie to get women to sleep with them, and that women use sex as a lure for marriage. This isn’t necessarily true. Young women can enjoy sex as much as men do and don’t want to hold off until marriage, which nowadays may not happen until a woman is in her 30s, if it happens at all. But you are absolutely right that if a woman wants a legal commitment, she should not be shacking up with a married man. And vice versa. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Logansport,” who complained about rude people who talk during a recital. Several years ago, I attended a high school choir concert in which my nephew was performing. Two teenage girls in front of me kept talking. I passed them a note, and they stopped. Afterward, my nephew said the entire choir wanted to know the contents of my note because they could all hear the girls while they were singing. The note simply read: “How rude of the choir to interrupt your conversation.” -Galesburg, Ill.

She also found time to volunteer at the Montreal Association for the Blind (MAB) for 30 years, St. Matthias Meals on Wheels, and the Literacy Council of ChĂ˘teauguay. Agnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passions were skiing, cycling, gardening, and personal fitness. She also participated in adult education courses at McGill University.

Besides her husband and parents, she was predeceased by her siblings: Irene, Gerald, Dorothy, Alice, and close cousin George Blanchard.

Obituaries Ken Bridge 1927 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015

Ken Bridge passed away peacefully at the age of 87 at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook on Sunday, February 15, 2015. Ken was born in Vancouver, BC on August 29, 1927.Â He moved to Cranbrook with his job at CP Rail when he was sixteen years old and continued to work with the railroad for 42 years.Â In Cranbrook, Ken met Phoebe Dyer and at nineteen years old they eloped to Libby, MT.Â At 58, Ken retired from CP Rail and he and Phoebe moved to their lake property on Monroe Lake which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had since 1962.Â Ken and Phoebe enjoyed the lake and there they made many special memories with family and friends. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 67 years Phoebe, his three sons Steve (Krista), Henry, and Kenny (Karin); his daughter Sue; his six grandchildren, Marcy, Lisa, Candice (Sean), Kenny, Chrissy (Cody), and Jenny (Ryan); and his one great grandson Jack. A memorial tribute to Ken will be held at McPherson Funeral Home (2200 - 2nd Street South) in Cranbrook at 1:00 pm on Friday, February 20th, 2015. Memorial donations can be made in Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour to the East Kootenay Health Foundation, c/o East Kootenay Regional Hospital, 13 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Hazel Marian Conroy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marianâ&#x20AC;? 1928 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015 The family of Hazel Marian Conroy are comforted to announce that our Mother, Grandmother, and GreatGrandmother is now in the presence of her Savior and reunited with past love ones. Mom passed on just before sunrise on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, surrounded by her family. Mom was born in Lethbridge, AB on December 1, 1928 to Hazel and Orland Keiver. When mom was 5, together with her older brother, Richard, the family moved to Kimberley and then on to Cranbrook, as her father was employed as a conductor with CP Rail. It was in Cranbrook that mom received her schooling and grew up. In 1949 she married the boy next door, Elmer Conroy. Together they welcomed 7 children into the world. Though momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s days were busy raising a large family she maintained a spotless home, always had fresh baking, and welcomed anyone that came through her door to join the family for a meal. Throughout the years mom enjoyed watching her family grow and loved being a part of the lives of her many grandchildren. Mom was greatly loved by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, all of them ever jostling to be the one to sit beside her and be the benefactor of her famously popular tickling or simple stroke on their arm. Mom loved easily and unconditionally. Her strong family values together with her lovingly supportive nature was a base of strength for each of her children and grandchildren through lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ups and downs. The majority of momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was spent in Cranbrook where she continued to impact the lives of those in her family, church and neighbourhood with her love, faith, and ever ready willingness to help those in need. Throughout her life, her deeply compassionate nature was displayed in the many loaves, muffins, cookies and cakes she lovingly baked for others. She had a quick and humorous wit, and a welcoming spirit and people always felt at home around her. She was a woman of faith, and you never left her presence without a prayer or blessing. Mom moved from Cranbrook to Kamloops in 2011 where she was welcomed by two of her daughters and their families. She initially resided at Berwick on the Park, and then more recently at Ridgeview Lodge. Mom was predeceased by her husband, Elmer in 1999, and brother Richard in 1993. She is survived by her children: Robert (Penny) Conroy, Richard (Catherine) Conroy, Susan (Ron) Olynyk, Joanne (John) Young, Garry (Jacqui) Conroy, Diane (Gordon) Mamen, Shannon (Greg) Nash; as well as 17 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be celebrated on Saturday, February 21, 2015 at 2:00 pm at McPherson Funeral Home (2200 2nd Street South) in Cranbrook with Pastor Ron Short officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Wings as Eagles Ministry, 3331 -Â 21st Street North, Cranbrook, BC, Â V1C 6E5.

The family would like to thank Dr. Bantock and the staff at Ridgeview Lodge for the outstanding care and love given to Marian.
