Raring to grow

Chris Mathieson, operator of the Grist Mill and Gardens ominously looks over his sprouting vegetables that are being helped along with the use of heating lights. Mathieson estimates the warm weather has flowers springing up in the gardens at the historical site about a month earlier than normal.
Similkameen springs into growing season Tara Bowie Review Staff
“This is nuts. This is really nuts,” Chris Mathieson, operator of the Grist Mill and Gardens exclaimed while talking about the unseasonably warm temperatures and the impact on all things growing at his site and the rest of the Similkameen Valley. On a quick walk about the grounds a variety of young yellow and purple crocuses were spotted. A few purple pansies were showing their colours along the walkway and tulips will surely be poking through anytime now. “Things are really early this year. There’s lots of things that are about to burst on the site,” he said. That’s good news for Mathieson and his crew who plan on growing a few new and old vegetables this year. After some searching, Mathieson was able to secure fresh Zucca seeds from a farmer in Illinois. Zucca’s are the world’s largest gourd weighing in between 60 to 100 pounds each. The flesh of the
Zucca is colourless and tasteless so it’s often used to stretch other foods including jam. Between the 1930s and 1950s the gourd was considered a commercial crop in the valley. But it’s popularity waned. “It hasn’t been grown here for quite awhile,” Mathieson said. “I tried, but the seeds were so inbred that we were only able to grow really small ones. That’s why it’s great we were able to track down some new seeds so we can bring the Zucca back to the valley.” Mathieson is also planning on growing Mangel Beets. “These are giant beets. They grow to two-feet long,” he said. Walking Stick Cabbage is another new/old crop the Grist Mill is going to try to grow. “It’s kind of like a little tree. At the end there’s a stick and people make walking sticks out of it,” he said. The Grist Mill is of course going to grow some traditional produce. Right now inside the tea room there’s a variety of onions, beets, spinach and broccoli sprouts rap-
idly growing under heating lights. David Jones, meteorologist for Environment Canada said it won’t be long before Mathieson and the rest of the growers in the Similkameen Valley will be able to put their crops in the ground. Because it’s an El Nino year he said he can predict with confidence that average temperatures will be 2 C higher than previous years. “On average everywhere is at least a few weeks ahead as things start to warm up. It’s going to carry on with milder temperatures,” he said. Jones could not say how the summer might turn out as far as predicted precipitation, but did say snow pack levels for this time of year are about average. He used real-time data collected from Black Wall Peak in Manning Park to compare the current snow pack to previous years. Although he couldn’t provide measurements up at the peak he said a real-time graph showed that the pack was comparative to historical data.

Crocuses in several colours have popped through the earth and are growing rapidly on the grounds of the Grist Mill and Gardens.
He also checked several other real-time stations in the Interior. “For all intensive purposes it’s (surrounding snow pack) is above average or near normal,” he said.
Only time will tell how the growing season will fare, but most will be happy right now that the grips of winter have been loosened a little earlier than normal.

Leap Day event makes water info less dry Tara Bowie Review Staff
For the last 18 years at least twice a month Gabrielle Cursons takes an important trip to the Similkameen River by her home in Cawston. The longtime resident has been collecting water samples for Environment Canada and BC Environment at the Chopaka bridge since 1998. “I got the job because someone had died. The man who had been doing it had died and his wife called me and asked if I was interested in doing it because she couldn’t. I’ve been doing it ever since,” she said Monday night at the Leap Day event organized by Friends of the Similkameen at the Cawston Hall. The data is collected regularly because the river runs downstream into the US. Similar water collection is completed by a woman in Princeton. Intermittent data is collected in Hedley and Manning Park. Some of that historical data is being used in the Similkameen Valley Planning Society’s watershed plan. The plan should be completed by 2017. The water samples Curson collects are used to keep a consistent tab on an array of different minerals, heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria including E. Coli and other substances in the river. Cursons said she spends about a half an hour collecting the water samples and preparing them for shipping to a lab in Vancouver. She drops a TOP: Gabrielle Cursons has been collecting dome type plastic apparatus into the water to collect water samples for Environment Canada and BC Environment since 1998.

It is now considered to be fair. She doesn’t analyze the data herself but has noticed some trends during her almost two decades of performing the water collection. “The water is greener in colour. The rocks are slimier. It’s not as clear as it once was. I’m not sure what’s caused that, probably a few different things,” she said. Last year specifically, she noted, tests showed that there was less dissolved oxygen in the water. “The water levels were dropping last year and the temperatures rising,” she said. Several times during her tenure as the sample collector, Cursons has been called because there was something going on upstream. Most recently a mishap at a mine in Princeton occurred but she wasn’t able to get to the river to collect samples in time before contaminants, if there were any, made there way past Cawston. The water is also tested over the border by the US. “I try my best to get there. But sometimes by the time I can make it it’s already gone past. The river flows quickly,” she said. All the presenters at the event noted concerns about the low levels experienced in the Similkameen last summer. Corey Brown, a local organic farmer didn’t mix words as he said “I think the river is in trouble.” “I have huge concerns about the river. There’s several mines in the area active and not. One misstep and our river will be contaminated past the point of return.” He encouraged anyone who is interested in the river to get informed about what’s going on around them that might have an impact.

Time to take MSP off life support One of the enduring legacies of Pierre Trudeau’s time as prime minister is the legal supremacy of the individual, as articulated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are seeing this played out with greater force than ever today, by an activist high court that swatted aside Stephen Harper’s attempts to restrain it, and now orders a meek, politically correct Justin Trudeau government to do its bidding. The Federal Court decreed last week that people have the right to grow their own “medical” marijuana. This ruling is unlikely to be appealed, given that Trudeau the Younger is committed to legalizing marijuana for everyone. There are conditions that show measurable relief from marijuana products, such as glaucoma or the nausea and loss of appetite associated with cancer treatments. But much of the so-called medical marijuana industry is based on unsubstantiated claims about an inconsistent herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal.

neers of this brave new world, most of the growing number of euthanasia patients have had cancer. But as The New Yorker magazine reported in a groundbreaking article last summer, others have been euthanized because of autism, anorexia, partial paralysis, blindness with deafness, manic-depression and yes, chronic fatigue syndrome. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake expressed the hope that Canada ends up with a consistent policy on doctor-assisted suicide, rather than a provincial patchwork. The closest Lake came to politically incorrect criticism was to caution that “deep discussion” is needed around the court’s notion of a “competent minor,” someone not yet entrusted with the vote or access to a liquor store. Three dissenting Conservative MPs went so far as to say the recommendations don’t adequately protect seniors who might be coerced into checking out and passing on their estates. How old-fashioned.

Trade pact puts environment, seniors, at risk Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
At the conclusion of negotiations that produced the far reaching Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), local cartoonist Vince Flynn provided a rather unflattering and sobering assessment of the pact. His cartoon showed then Conservative Trade Minister Ed Fast saying, “I think we gave them everything they asked for.” The text of the 12 nation agreement had not yet been made public and I hoped the cartoon was more for the sake of humour than to convey an accurate portrayal of what was agreed upon. All we knew at the time was that the agreement had been negotiated in almost total secrecy behind tightly closed doors, as though the various governments understood they were doing something enormously shameful. To me it smacked of young boys guiltily puffing on their first cigarette behind the family barn. Although we might want to believe its tentacles will not reach into our beautiful valley, the agreement has the potential to impact each of us directly. Most of us have little understanding of the international trade regulations that already enable foreign corporations to extract huge sums from our governments. One example of this is the terms the World Trade Organization used to rule against a successful clean energy program in Ontario which had created thousands of jobs. Similar regulations targeted a moratorium on fracking in Quebec. The Sierra Club says the TPP will impose further limits on government efforts to combat climate disruptions. The agreement has already been signed by the Liberal government. If ratified by Parliament, it will give foreign corporations even greater powers to sue governments for billions over laws and policies they contend will limit their profits. To me it is incomprehensible that corporations will be able to challenge our environmental laws, not before a Canadian court, but before a tribunal of private lawyers.
If ratified by parliament, the Trans Pacific Partnership will erode the government’s ability to protect and promote the environment.
These three lawyers will not be accountable for their decisions and there will be no appeal process. They will have the power to order governments to pay firms for future profits they could have hypothetically earned if the protective policies were not in place. Siphoning off of public funds is one way each of us will be impacted. It will ensure governments have even less resources to maintain our already stressed medical system, build schools, repair bridges and highways, and much more. Government officials typically ignore concerns about threats to the environment, claiming there are provisions that protect against abuses. George Kahale III, chairman of the world’s leading legal arbitration firm says of the highly touted environmental safeguard in the pact, “the entire provision for protection of the environment is negated by 5 words in the middle. The supposed safeguard is actually much ado about nothing.” His firm has
defended various governments in lawsuits by international corporations. The TPP is all encompassing and includes much more than the environment. Many seniors and others in the Similkameen Valley will almost certainly be hit hard in their wallets when they go to renew their medical prescriptions. D G Shaw of the Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance says “generic drugs will come onto the market less quickly and patients will have to wait longer for affordable medications.” Also, pharmaceutical companies will be more able to sue governments over policies they don’t like. Even under existing rules, they are already doing this. At the federal level, the giant pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly, currently has a lawsuit against the Canadian government for $500 million because Canadian courts invalidated its Zyprexa patent. One observer suggested this is “the shape of things to come.”
Jim Balsillie, former Co-CEO of RIM, believes “signing the deal could be Canada’s worst ever policy decision.” Professor Ariel Katz, law professor at the University of Toronto agrees. He warns that “ratifying the TPP would lock Canada into a deal that could not be modified even if issues surface down the road.” He asks, “why would anyone in their right mind do this?” Especially in regard to the environment, I’m puzzled by the Liberal position. Justin Trudeau proudly announced at the Paris climate conference, “We’re back. We’re here to help.” But his statements indicate he may favour ratification of the TPP by Parliament. Is it the citizens of Canada he intends to help, or multinational corporations? The TPP will impact us. If we’re concerned about greedy corporations blackmailing and plundering Canada, now is the time to inform our PM and our representatives in Parliament.

Urban legend has it when a woman is pulled over for speeding she need only widen her eyes, let a few fat drops roll down her dusky cheeks, and she drives away with a warning and a merry wave for Officer Friendly. Reality does not support such a stereotype. Though, in each of these tickets, tears were involved. Unfortunately they appeared inconveniently late. Imagine being seven months pregnant and on the first leg of a long drive after an even longer day at a work event. An almost fullygrown human being is performing Downward Facing Dog on your bladder and the needle climbs as you desperately seek a rest stop, gas station, or even a largish shrub on the side of the road. What you find instead is a speed trap. In retrospect a female who can’t fake crying might at least try feigning premature labor to avoid a hefty fine. When more than three quarters of your brain is concentrating on not peeing your maternity pants, however, there is little energy left for subterfuge or creative thinking.
Also looking back it wasn’t a great idea, having just rolled down the driver’s side window, to blurt out: Thank God. Do you know if there’s a Tim Horton’s up ahead? Paid full pop for that. As the cruiser pulled away the waterworks began. And that’s when I started to cry. It was several years and children later before flashing lights appeared again in the rearview mirror. That was the Friday evening of the May long weekend, and the DeMeers were travelling to Trent, Michigan for a hockey tournament. Drivers who speed on long weekends, really, deserve what they get. The same could be said of parents who drag small children hundreds of miles in the summer just to play hockey. We were clocked at 40 kilometers over the limit, and a garbled excuse about trying to make it to Detroit before dark met unsympathetic ears. Worse than paying an exorbitant fine was sitting through the lecture on safety and parenting. Ma’am, at these speeds there is no such thing as a fender bender. You put your kids’ lives at risk today. You are lucky you are just getting a ticket and not a ride in an
ANDREA DEMEER
old dog new tricks ambulance or worse. Didn’t actually cry until we stopped at the border. Mom, what’s with the tears? That’s just guilt, sweetheart. The most dramatic roadside encounter with police, the one with the greatest potential for disaster, also occurred on the way to a sporting event. Roll in traffic violations to the cost of over-programming your offspring – registration, equipment, gas, hotel rooms, restaurant meals and fees to the court. It was a three-day soccer tourney in Collingwood, Ontario, an opportunity that promised quality one-on-one time for mother and eldest son. (The more children you produce the less feasible it becomes for a family to go anywhere as a
unit. Focus shifts from promoting togetherness to dividing and conquering.) The second-to-last thing we did before pulling out of the driveway that Saturday was place a large watermelon in the back of the mini van. What’s soccer without a mini van and a watermelon? The very last thing was to run back into the kitchen to grab a 13’ butcher knife so the watermelon could be served at halftime. Tucked the knife into the compartment under the passenger seat and we were off. The officer who pulled us over, just a couple of miles from the field, was tricky. There was no police car to offer a fair game of I Spy. He was astride a motorcycle hiding behind a tree with a radar gun. Where’s the fire? Weak laugh. Actually it’s at the soccer park. He grinned broadly and with satisfaction. Yep. Been flagging you people down all morning. Then he uttered those three words every driver hates: license, insurance and registration. Duly produced the driver’s license at the same moment the
realization struck: registration and insurance papers resided in that drawer beneath the passenger seat. They were under the butcher knife. It took only seconds to run the scenarios. All of them ended with Mom spread eagle on the pavement, tasered and handcuffed, to say nothing of being really, really late for soccer. There was no way even to safely approach the conversation. Look sir, don’t freak out or anything but there’s an extremely large knife in here. Despite the fact there are significant penalties in Ontario for not carrying proof of insurance and registration the only reasonable course of action was to bold face lie. Nope. Sorry. Don’t have them. Forgot them at home. The motorcycle cop hemmed and hawed a bit, and finally decided to write the speeding ticket and forgo the rest of the charges. He was having an otherwise lucrative day, after all. Naturally started to cry as we headed out once again for soccer. They were pure and simple, tears of relief.

Still tickets left for Cawston Hall Cabin Fever Ball Submitted
Following up on the highly successful 2015 Cabin Fever Fund Raising Dance at the Cawston Hall in 2015, the Cawston Community Hall will be the once again rocking on Saturday, March 5 to the tunes of four great dance bands. Highlighting the night will be the Long John Baldy Band from Oliver and supporting them will be three of our best local bands blasting away into the night. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $12 available at Similkameen Agency, Cawston Market Place and at the door. Once again local artists are putting their enormous talent on display painting up various art pieces for silent auction items as well as other items and door prizes. A wine and beer bar will be operating. This is a wonderful opportunity for the local community to get out and see each other in a great atmosphere, shake out those winter jitterbugs and just have fun. Long John Baldy Band from Oliver are headlining this year’s Cawston Hall Cabin Fever Ball.
See you there!
Fire department on lookout for vehicles to destroy Tara Bowie Review Staff
This time it’s members of the Keremeos Volunteer Fire Department that are on the patrol for vehicles. The department is holding auto extrication training and is in need of about 20 vehicles that the owner no longer wants. “It takes a lot of practice to know what you’re doing with that kind of equipment. You could easily get yourself pinched,” Keremeos fire chief Jordy Boscha said. Boscha said on average the department attends two vehicle collisions a year that require extrication equipment. The weekend training is necessary so all members get a chance to familiarize themselves with the equipment and also because the make up of vehicles are changing making extrications more challenging. “There’s airbags. There’s not just ones in the steering wheel. There’s airbags in the sides, in the back of front seats. If they haven’t deployed we or the person in the car can get slapped in the face,” he said. “There’s also wiring in places there wasn’t before. They run some of that wiring through channels and parts and pieces of the car and if we aren’t
paying attention we’re going to get shocked.” The Keremeos department has several extrication tools including spreaders, a ram, and several different sized cutters. There are also several pumps so that multiple pieces of equipment can be used at once. Boscha said the department can use any vehicle that still has a decent body that can be cut open. “Were looking for vehicles that no longer have any value to the owner but that still has value to us. So they might have been used for parts cars or are old but they still have the glass in them and doors on them, that kind of thing.” Boscha said anyone that has a vehicle to donate to the training weekend can call 250-499-2200 or stop by the village office. The vehicles must be ready in an easily accessible spot for pickup before the extrication training weekend scheduled for April 8, 9 and 10.

Junior boys cap off successful season at Valley Championships The Similkameen Secondary School Sparks Junior Boys basketball team capped off a successful season at the Okanagan Valley Championship tournament in Oliver on February 19 and 20.

CONGRATULATIONS!
The Similkameen Secondary School Sparks Junior Boys basketball team capped off a successful season at the Okanagan Valley Championship tournament in Oliver on February 19 and 20. On Friday, the Sparks lost a heartbreaker by one point to the Vernon Secondary Panthers and then fought hard in another close loss to a very strong South Kamloops Titans team. On Saturday, a solid team effort produced a victory against the Fulton Maroons and a seventh place finish for the Keremeos boys. In the South Zone playoffs leading up to the Valley Championship, the Sparks overpowered Princess Margaret before losing to archrival Oliver in a thrilling game. The boys bounced back to beat Osoyoos to earn the right to challenge Pen Hi for the second South Zone spot at the Valleys. The Sparks intense defensive pressure was too much for Pen Hi to handle, as they convincingly defeated the much bigger boys (and school) on their home court. Unlike the senior high school level, where teams are tiered according to size of school, junior teams all compete amongst each other regardless of school size. It is a major accomplishment for a small school such as Similkameen Secondary to gain a spot at the Valley Championship, and most notably, have the ability to compete at this level against some of the best teams in the province. These boys have worked very hard to develop the skills and teamwork needed to reach this level of play. They have also conducted themselves in a highly sportsmanlike manner on and off the court, and their actions as representatives of their school and community should be commended. Congratulations to the team for a great season!

Successful opening for local artists in Penticton Stef Laramie For the Review
South Similkameen Art Society (lovingly known as SSASy)members contributed original art work as the guest artists at Front Street Gallery in Penticton. There were 15 local artists in total showing work. Within the first hour, Eleanor Kingston’s ‘Swamp in June’ a charming oil painting, sold. A great way to begin the show. The show runs from February 26 til March 26. Other projects for this year from SSASy include a $400 bursary donation to one student from the grad class at Similkameen Elementary Secondary School. Also many SSASy members are artistically redesigning furniture, chairs tables footstool with wonderful paintings and they will be auctioned off at the Cawston Dance this Saturday night and the proceeds will be donated to the Cawston Hall.

Life’s a slice for Keremeos pizzeria owners Tara Bowie Review Staff
Bokboks is back. After leaving the area as he described as “not on the best of terms” and after a failed attempt at a run for the mayor position on council, Frank Kennedy has recently returned and is planning to reopen his pizzeria BokBoks Plus this coming weekend. He will operate the business with partner Wanda Marcel. “To me, I think, I missed the roll of the land. It’s a feeling where you think you belong,” Kennedy said. “I got homesick for the area. I just didn’t realize it was a slower pace.” Kennedy last operated the pizzeria on 7th Avenue about four years ago. He leased out the small business to several people over the years as he ran an assembly business near Victoria. “There was some turnover
with the business. People really want this. They want us to reopen. I kind of wanted to retire but this is something people want,” he said. At first, the pizza place will be open just over the weekend Friday, Saturday and Sundays from about 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. As the weather warms up, the pizza place might be open more hours. “We just have to see how it goes,” he said. Pizza will be available to order for take-out or by the slice. At this time there will not be a delivery service. “It’s just the fact that we put love into all our pizzas, right from the crust up and we just love serving the people,” Kennedy said of what makes his pizza special. For more information about hours or to order a pizza call After a four-year hiatus, Frank Kennedy and Wanda Marcel will reopen Bokboks pizza this Friday. 250-499-8815.

Area leaders talk tourism at Community to Community Review Staff
Tourism was the focus of a recent Community to Community (C2C) forum held at the new Lower Similkameen Indian Band centre. The forum was held February 26 and brought together leaders from area bands and regional politicians including Osoyoos Indian Band, Penticton Indian Band, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Upper Similkameen Indian Band, Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen and member municipalities. “The C2C forum brought together First Nations and Local Governments leaders throughout the South Okanagan and Similkameen to discuss tourism, common goals and opportunities, as well as to continue to build and strengthen relationships between communities,” a press release stated. The 2016 C2C forum theme was Tourism in the South Okanagan-Similkameen. Participants heard presentations on the History of First Nations and non-indigenous settlers in the South Okanagan-Similkameen, Aboriginal Tourism BC, Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association. There was also a breakout session examining Partnering for Regional Tourism Success. The Community to Community Forum was funded through a Union of British Columbia Municipalities grant. C2C forums are held periodically locally and throughout the region. The forum provides an opportunity for dialogue and information sharing. A detailed report on the 2016Community to Submitted Community forum will be provided to all parties and posted on the RDOS and Band website in coming Ellen Walker Matthews of Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, presents alongside Teresa Ryder, from Aboriginal Tourism BC during the recent C2C, while Brenda Baptiste, Aboriginal Tourism BC and Kara Burton from the Osoyoos weeks.

Caution should be exercised when deciding to give any vaccines and no vaccine...... should be given without a comprehensive educational discussion beforehand. Blood tests to measure antibody levels, called Titres, are useful tools to help in the decision making process. Please spread the word to others you know with pets that they need to look at both sides of this issue before they subject their pets to any more vaccinations. I still see far too many pets subjected to a slew of annual vaccines in spite of current information, even the availability of vaccines that are licensed for every 3 years. Buyer beware. Heartworm (dogs): Fortunately, there have been no positive tests in any dogs that have lived their entire life in Kelowna, even those traveling outside Kelowna, and very, very few in the Okanagan in the last several years. For this reason, I do not council clients to put their dogs on heartworm preventative medication unless they are traveling to an area where there are lots of cases. Just like any other drug, heartworm medicine has a systemic, or whole body, effect. The fewer chemicals we put in and on our pets, chances are the healthier they will be. Use of the heartworm medications in the last few years as a routine dewormer is overkill, in my opinion, as it is very rare that we find any adult dogs with intestinal worms. Have your dog’s feces checked before indiscriminately deworming. Parasites are not as common as you might think. Nutrition: The food we put in our bodies to a huge extent determines how healthy we are. It is no different for pets. If you choose to feed processed pet foods to your pets, it is a good idea to supplement with fresh foods on a regular basis so they too can take advantage of the phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals present in fresh raw fruits and veggies. The feeding of natural foods to pets, including meat, is gaining more and more support amongst pet owners, breeders and holistic veterinarians alike. The reason is because it is proving to be beneficial. Yes, it is controversial, but I see the benefits every day at my office and hear the testimonials daily. Do not be afraid to check it out and make up your own mind. Your pets will love you for it!
It’s not hard to imagine what the most common medical problems are in Canada by looking at the top ten drugs. This list includes a drug for hypothyroidism, two for lowering cholesterol, three blood pressure pills, one antibiotic, one antidepressant, one blood thinner and one to reduce stomach acid. Everyone is aware of the benefits of exercise to our heart and muscles. But there are benefits to the brain as well. Tests show that regular exercise increases the oxygen to the brain. This increased blood flow to the brain can help slow cognitive decline that is associated with aging. You have to be cautious when reading statistics. If you read a headline that says “25% reduction in risk of death” with (some particular drug), it can be misleading. If risk of death without the drug is 4 in 1000, and with the drug it is 3 in 1000, that is a 25% reduction but the reality is not quite as dramatic. If you have questions about what you read in the media, check with our pharmacists. Part of our job is keeping up to date on what’s new in medicine and pharmacy. We can help put things perspective for you.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may find yourself doing things that would normally be out of your comfort zone. This can be a positive change in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, daydream a little this week, but make sure it doesn’t consume all of your energy. Keep your desires in check and weigh the pros and cons of each idea before going forward. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, finding the right balance is a worthy goal this week. Make a concerted effort to give ample time to all the people and things that matter to you. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, time may not be on your side, but somehow you will find a way to make due. Whenever possible, farm out some of your work or responsibilities to others. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Your creative efforts will not go to waste, Pisces. Someone will recognize your talents and ask you to collaborate on an important project.

Edith M. (nee Whiteford) Passed away February 9, 2016 in Princeton, BC. Edie was an integral part of the community - she was well established in ranching, horse racing and teaching circles. Edie was delivered at Mrs. Roadley’s nursing home in Kamloops on March 19, 1918. Her parents Jack and Martha took her home to the family ranch at Nicola, BC. Edie and her siblings walked three miles to a one room school in Nicola. In 1931 Edie went to school at Crofton House - from there Edie attended UBC. Education was always encouraged. In 1940 Edie started her teaching career in Princeton. During her career she taught generations of students - Edie retired in 1981. Edie said her jobs in life were teaching and ranching. Edie’s father arrived in Kamloops in June 1886 - a date that was celebrated annually by the Whiteford family. Jack along with the Palmer family owned the Stump Lake Ranch - after the sale of the ranch Jack purchased the J. Pooley Ranch. Edie considered the Palmer, Friskin, Fraser and Lauder families as a stand in family for her relatives living in Ireland and the USA. Edie met Doug Currie at a gathering in Princeton - they married at the Whiteford family ranch In December 1947. Their first home was at the ranch that Edie and Doug lived together on for 57 years. After Doug’s passing Edie remained on the ranch. Edie and Doug donated the CoW Pad Park for the benefit of the people in Princeton. Edie is survived by the Palmer’s - Jim, Bill, Amanda, Monica and their families; Quita McLeod, Sue and Joy Potts; the Currie’s - Lynda, David, Gary, Laurie; Laverne and Arlene; Gordon, Terry and Wendy; Joy and Gail; Bonnie, Peggy, Rusty and three sisters-in-law. Edie was predeceased by her husband Doug, her parents Jack and Margaret, her siblings Teddy Whiteford, Mabel McLeod and Florence Potts. The family would like to thank Dr. Munroe, Bernadette Kelleher and the staff at Ridgewood Lodge. A Celebration of Life will be held later in the Spring. Condolence may be emailed to the family at www.hansonsfuneral.ca
