City steps up in best-place ranking

By Lachlan Labere MARKET NEWS STAFF

How’s the weather in Salmon Arm? Pretty good according to MoneySense Magazine, which ranked the city 61st out of 190 in its annual list of best places to live in

Canada.

The 2012 ranking is an improvement over last year when Salmon Arm came in at 78. In fact, the trend over the past few years has been one of improvement for Salmon Arm, which was the fifth highest-ranked city in B.C., behind Saanich,

The Power of Spring

Victoria, Kamloops and Vancouver.

The rankings are based on a number of variables, including the ability to walk or bike to work, crime rate and culture. Salmon Arm’s strong points were under the categories of weather, and the number of doctors

available per 1,000 people, which came in at 13 and 15 out of 190.

Where Salmon Arm didn’t fare as well is under the categories of household income (152), crime (142) and affordable housing, which didn’t budge from last year’s ranking of 164.

MoneySense also compiled a number of sublists, including the best places to retire, raise kids and find a job.

For retirees, Salmon Arm is apparently the cat’s pyjamas. The city came in at 13, See A great on page 2

A great place to retire Continued from front thanks in part to relatively low taxes, the climate and a low crime rate relating to seniors.

However, when it comes to raising kids or finding employment, the picture isn’t quite as rosy.

Salmon Arm ranked 111 on both, with housing prices (149), household income (152), crime and transit (155) being key areas where there is still much room for improvement.

None of these results come as a surprise to Salmon Arm Economic Development Society economic development manager Lana Fitt, who says the stats reflect what she’s seeing in Salmon Arm. She says that overall, MoneySense’s evaluation shows that Salmon Arm appeals to “a wide-array of people, including everything from retirees to new businesses as well.”

“Items such as affordable housing for

example, that definitely is not our strength for attraction initiatives, but items that relate more to quality of life like our climate and our local services, education… we definitely have a competitive advantage there,” says Fitt.

In response to Salmon Arm’s popularity among retirees, Fitt says the EDS has to stay focused on appealing to, and retaining a broad range of people and businesses.

“We’re pretty focused on youth retention and attracting professionals and new businesses to the community,” says Fitt. “In order to be successful in doing that we need an active labour pool to draw from as well.

“So, for as much as we recognize the value that the retirement demographic brings to the economy, we also want to be very broad in our marketing and attraction initiatives to focus on young families and attracting pro-

fessionals.”

Salmon Arm’s 111th place ranking for best place to raise children struck a chord for the city’s mayor, Nancy Cooper.

“That’s one I’d like to see how we can change…,” says Cooper, adding this is

Mayor Nancy Cooper

something she would like to work on with Fitt and the EDS. “What do we need for that, because that’s where I would like to see us going.”

Regarding affordable housing, Cooper says she would be interested in getting feedback from the city’s social issues committee on perhaps creating a pol-

icy. Job-wise, Cooper says the EDS is currently working on a strategy for the industrial park, meeting with business owners and discussing ways to attract more business.

As for transit, the mayor says she’s purchased a bus pass, and plans on riding the bus herself to get a feel for how the system is serving Salmon Arm residents.

Like Fitt, however, Cooper is pleased with the snapshot of Salmon Arm that MoneySense results provide, and how the well the community ranks in the province, let alone the country.

“I think we have some things that we can certainly build on… but I’m quite excited about it, actually, when you consider how we’re ranked in B.C.,” says Cooper. “That is pretty good. And I think it gives us some information on what are we doing well, and what could we improve on.”

New additions planned for fair Salmon Arm: Attractions to include Kamikaze ride and wobbly water balls.

becomes

FIX AUTO SALMON ARM

By Barb Brouwer

Same Ownership Same Address Same Staff

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Look for some new energy and excitement at this year’s fall fair.

Longtime fair commercial concession coordinator Lori Graham has been busy booking several participants – two of which will appeal to the young and young-at-heart.

Over at the midway, teens and the brave will be able to hop aboard the Kamikaze, a ride that consists of a single stationary tower, supporting two 16-passenger gondolas on rotating arms.

During the ride, passengers are swung backwards and forwards to build up momentum, before the gondola performs several inversions.

For those who like a gentler experience closer to the ground, Mark Gagnon will be bringing a bunch of wobbly water balls.

Climb into a zippered ball, which is then inflated around the “rider,” who then tries to walk on water – learning quickly that falling down can sometimes be great fun.

And Graham is looking for more concessions to operate both inside and outside the arena. Call her at 250379-5185 or, leave a message at the office.

The Salmon Arm and Shuswap Lake Agricultural Association has a new board of directors: president – Phil Wright; 1st vice-president – Star McGregor; 2nd vicepresident – Sandy Hyam; treasurer – Ellen Hammer; secretary –

Maureen Hucul; directors – Bill Lynch, Joan O’Brien, Rick Hyam, Dan Brock, Kathy Crosbie, Patty Unterschulz and Cheryl Johnson.

The board is hoping to stretch the association’s profile beyond the fall fair.

The popular September event is just one of several the organization plans to host on the fairgrounds this year.

As well as expanding activities, the association would like to broaden membership, and extends a warm welcome to anyone who may be interested.

“We are looking for volunteers of all ages and walks of life who are passionate about agriculture, community events, the fair and maintaining green space in the heart of our community,” says Johnson, a rep of the association’s marketing committee. “We need volunteers who enjoy light carpentry, public relations, event planning,

local history and creating lasting friendships.”

Back at the Fall Fair, conveners are also needed – one for Memory Lane and one for the Arts and Crafts division.

And look for more injections of new energy, changes and additions to this year’s version of the fair, plans for which will be revealed when they have been firmed up.

Enthusiastic volunteer co-ordinator Patty Unterschultz says there will also be incentives for this year’s crew. Call her at the fall fair office at 250-832-0422 and leave a message.

Everyone with an interest in getting involved is welcome to attend a meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 5 at the Mountain Side Room at Bowers Funeral Home on Fifth Avenue SW. For more information visit www.salmonarmfair.com or contact the association at safallfair@shaw.ca.

Local artists to feature their work at songwriters showcase

By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Some artists perform solo, while others prefer being part of a group.

The Shuswap is rich in genres and performers, something with which well-known duo Kelly and Blu Hopkins are very familiar.

Bringing back an idea she explored several years ago in the Vernon area, Kelly wanted to go beyond the performance. For many artists, it’s about more than what they play, it’s about the words and music they have crafted themselves.

“We have so many excellent songwriters here; we see them in concert but they’re doing cover songs,” she says. “We wanted them to be able to perform their own work and make it interesting for the audience.”

Planned as a monthly event, a Songwriters Showcase Series at the SAGA Public Art Gallery will feature interesting and varied performers focusing on original songs and acoustic music in an intimate setting.

Each showcase will be presented in a songwriter circle format, where the artists take turns performing a song then pass to the next act before ending with all the musicians jamming together. And each showcase will have a theme of its own.

The first showcase, which takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 30, is “duos” and will feature the original

music of three such pairs – Sue Kyle and Alan Bates, Mike Shaver and Stephanie Webster (A Million Dollars in Pennies) and hosts Blu & Kelly Hopkins.

“A Million Dollars in Pennies has a folk sound that will definitely appeal to the younger crowd,” says Kelly.

“Kyle and Bates bring the blues, folk and bluegrass.”

Songwriter/multi-instrumentalist musicians, Blu and Kelly have been entertaining audiences around B.C. and Alberta for the past 10 years.

They seamlessly mix many acoustic instruments (guitar, clawhammer banjo, dulcimer, stand-up bass, mandolin) and humour into their performances.

The couple have garnered two BCIMA Awards as “Best Bluegrass Artists” and have been nominated for awards 14 times in diverse categories.

Blu has recorded two solo projects and together the Hopkins have produced two recordings in their Silver Creek studio. Blu and Kelly are currently in the process of recording a children’s CD of traditional songs.

Back in the art gallery, the April 27 showcase will feature Richard Owings and Murray MacDonald (One Camel Short), Linz Kenyon and Gillian Cran, and Jesse Clarke and Jacob Verberg (The Wild Oaks).

Tickets for all showcase events are $10 and are available at Acorn Music.

Friday, March 23, 2012 Shuswap Market News

OPINION Thefts down but drivers pay In a time when flawed rhetoric and relentless spin-doctoring makes it hard to know just how our interests are being served, it’s nice to hear one program, at least, is making an impact on those who seek to steal from us.

Figures released this month by ICBC show that auto theft has fallen 71 per cent since the use of bait cars began. Thefts from vehicles are also down 64 per cent province-wide, ICBC said.

It’s not just those pesky bait cars – now joined by bait commercial vehicles – that are making life difficult for criminals. Spokespeople for the corporation are patting us on the back for doing our part by locking vehicles, parking in secure, lit areas and removing valuables from our cars.

In further good news for the average, cashstrapped motorist, the corporation recently announced it is considering reducing or eliminating its incentive-pay program for executives if it fails to meet its annual profit targets. The program paid out $17 million in bonuses in 2010, but if declining figures hold true, payouts will be scaled down.

Indeed, if ICBC makes less than $35 million in net income in future years, the CEO and executives will lose their bonuses.

But that still leaves the question of the $497 million in profits ICBC expects to turn over to the provincial government over the next three years. As this is money considered surplus to ICBC’s needs, it is said to have no bearing on the need to raise basic rates, blamed on rising claims costs.

It might be hard for the average driver to disagree with critics such as Conservative leader John Cummins, who characterizes the government’s continuing dependence on such funds as a “stealth tax” on motorists. Perhaps bait cars – and locks and immobilizers on vehicles – are not enough to dispel every attack on our property, after all.

Government trying to re-write act (Part one of a two part series) There are those who would say that, to date, the federal government, under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has done little to protect the environment. Others would go so far as to say that over the past few years, the federal government has virtually eliminated any enforcement of the habitat protection laws and/ or provisions of the Canada Fisheries Act. The federal government has, in large part, ceased to enforce the pollution and habitat sections of the Canada Fisheries Act that now exist in favour of allowing industry to self govern their own environmental impact.

In a leaked government document, Otto Langer, a fisheries biologist and aquatic ecologist who worked for the Department of Fisheries and Ocean and Department of Environment for 32 years, says that the federal government is in the process of introducing a number of proposed changes to the habitat provisions of the Canada Fisheries Act by slipping them through attached to the government’s Budget Omni-

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray bus Bill due at the end of the month.

In effect, the federal government is trying to re-write the habitat protection provisions of the Act, section 35(1), in a way that can only have serious consequences.

Section 35(1) of the Fisheries Act now states: No person shall carry on any work or undertaking that results in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat. No person shall contravene subsection 35(1) by causing the alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat by an means or under any conditions authorized by the Minister or under the regulations made by the Governor in Counsel...

That’s sort of clear and straight forward … I guess.

However, the proposed new changes to section 35(1) of the Fisheries Act state: No person shall carry on any work, undertaking or activity, other than fishing, that results in an adverse effect on a fish of economic, cultural or ecological value.

They also go on to state: No person contravenes subsection (1) if (a) the adverse effect is authorized by the Minister and is produced in accordance with the conditions established by the Minister; (b) the adverse effect is authorized by a person prescribed by the regulations and is produced in accordance with the conditions prescribed by the regulations; (c) the work, undertaking or activity is carried on in accordance with the conditions set out in the regulations or with any other authorization issued under this Act; (d) the work, undertaking or activity is carried on in, on, over, under, through or across any Canadian fisheries waters...

That’s a little less clear.

You could even go so far as to say that it muddies the proverbial waters - so to speak.

These changes to the Can-

ada Fisheries Act are apparently being proposed to protect fish - something that the already existing legislation does more-or-less.

Langer says, “the lack of the word ‘habitat’ in the proposed draft law and the number of subjective and ambiguous words inserted will only serve to make enforcement of this new legislation very difficult, indeed.”

The federal government could, in similar manner, pass any number of subsequent amendments to regulations that could further restrict the intent of section 35(1) of the Canada Fisheries Act by first amending the act to eliminate the protection of fish habitat and then undermining the fish protection part of the act by putting through regulations that would create loopholes in what was left in the act.

This is not the first time that the federal government, under Stephen Harper, has tried to put through changes and amendments to acts that would have dire consequences to fish and fish habitat, not to mention the overall health of our lakes, rivers, streams and oceans.

Breakfast benefits the brain Does the thought of making and eating breakfast make you groan? One third of Canadian adults do not eat breakfast regularly - even though it’s simple to make and good to eat. Establishing a breakfast routine early is important for both children and adults.

Adults who eat breakfast function better throughout the day.

Research shows that breakfast kick-starts the brain and body.

Studies of adults who do physical labor have found that those who skip breakfast often tire quicker than their breakfast-eating coworkers. There is also evidence that eating breakfast may play an important role in getting you to work safely in the morning; drivers who eat breakfast were found to be more attentive and responsive during their morning commutes.

Eating breakfast can also help you maintain a healthy weight by warding off temptation to eat snacks that are less nutritious, and by

LIVING WELL Evidence shows children and teens that eat breakfast are often better at understanding ideas and solving problems essential skills for succeeding at school. preventing over eating. Because breakfastskippers tend to eat more in the evening, they often exceed the amount of calories needed in a day and end up gaining weight.

Breakfast is especially important for the growing brains of children and teens. Research has shown that important nutrients missed when breakfast is skipped are not adequately provided throughout the rest of the day. Children who do not eat breakfast often fail to meet recom-

mended levels of Vitamins A, B6, and D, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, folic acid, zinc, phosphorus and iron. Many of these nutrients play a key role in brain development. Evidence shows children and teens that eat breakfast are often better at understanding ideas and solving problems – essential skills for succeeding at school.

Think there isn’t enough time in the morning to make breakfast? If you are short on time in the mornings, try preparing items such as porridge the night before then simply reheat in the morning. Looking for something that you can just grab and go?

Fruit, cheese, crackers, peanut butter and bagels make quick, inexpensive portable breakfasts.

Health Canada recommends children and adults enjoy breakfast every day. When adults eat breakfast, children will too. So be a good role model and eat your brekkie.

# The Northern Lights Chamber Choir performed at St. Mary’s Church in Sorrento on Sunday, March 18.

Choir celebrates new season On Sunday March 18, the Northern Lights Chamber Choir gave the community of Sorrento an afternoon of choral singing at a concert at St. Mary’s Church.

The music of changing seasons took the audience on a journey of light, hope, happiness and wanderlust.

This recently formed local choir shines brilliantly under the direction of Steve Guidone.

Jim Johnston is one of the finest collaborative pianists and supports the choir with his artful playing.

Dari Graham and Andrea Roberts mesmerized the audience with their duet, Oiseau des Bois. Cellist, Barbara Ennis filled the church with the rich music of Spring Song and Meditation by Frank Bridge.

OUT AND ABOUT Lynda Hooper

Musings In my work, my reporting is restricted to certain geographical boundaries, and every article written must have some connection to the community within that area.

This would be the case with most job descriptions in defining area of responsibility.

Public servants must also pay attention to their ‘territory.’ It is important that specific needs of citizens be a focal point for our fearless leaders.

It is also part of my job to keep abreast of public representative activity, at whatever level, in areas that con-

cern the South Shuswap. And it really is quite amazing how many of them are in our midst.

Our tax dollars are employing quite a few public servants provincially, federally, municipally, with branches of governance in nearly every faction of our lives.

Our federal representation for Okanagan Shuswap is Colin Mayes, who we often see out and about with his family, mixing in with the community at many events.

Mayes is a Progressive Conservative so that means he has a special connection to current government.

That should give us an advantage with better lines of communication.

I am grateful to read Mayes’ website, where there is much information available for anyone interested. I have learned a lot from this resource at www.colinmayes.ca.

One recent article was regarding the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. Mayes cites economic benefits to British Columbians over a 25-year period into the future.

In the end, most of the jobs building the pipeline will end on completion in 2015.

The actual jobs created at the docks in Kitimat, and maintaining the pipeline from there to Bruderheim, Alta., numbers around 105.

None of those jobs are in the Okanagan Shuswap area.

With no call for immigration officers in the Shuswap, although I suppose our courts and the RCMP might be involved in deporting illegal immigrants, this is not an employment possibility in the Shuswap for sure. More burden on the taxpayer is what this brings to mind, and that our increased high-tech border security isn’t working in addition to the cost of ‘bogus refugee

Mayes discusses issues around illegal immigration

Unit 2 - 1204 Notch Hill Rd., SORRENTO

Continued from page 8 this is urgent. Really?

Are the slave-labour jobs that immigrants are willing to take on really worth the expense to protect.

Is illegal immigration really a problem in the Okanagan Shuswap? Mayes says in his article, he is receiving much email from citizens on the issue.

Mayes is a regular contributor to the Shuswap Market News, most recently with a column regarding a private members bill in Quebec, the subject abortion.

Not sure how getting in this wrangle will improve lives in the Okanagan Shuswap. Though I can appreciate the altruism of defining a human being for the pro-life sector in the Okanagan Shuswap area, evidence of surplus time or resources to undertake this time escapes me.

CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP ME? We are often asked: “What’s the best way of finding out whether a Dr. of Chiropractic can help my problem?”

ACCEPTING We believe the answer can be NEW found in a complete PATIENTS consultation and examination.

“At 3 years old Matteo complained of earaches, had slow speech development and was prone to temper tantrums.

After just a few weeks of treatment we saw a marked improvement in Matteo’s whole life. He sleeps better, he eats better and has had a huge increase in his vocabulary.”

– Lori Grdina “Since I comenced treatment I have been totally clear of headaches and my ability to walk has increased many folds.

I am glad that I made the decision to seek the assistance of a chiropractor and would suggest to others to give it a try.

Woman fundraises for treatment

By Barb Brouwer MARKET NEWS STAFF

Amanda Roseberry plans to kick her wheelchair to the curb.

And the attractive young woman with an irrepressible spirit is hoping the community will step up to help her get treatments that could make that possible.

Roseberry was born in Enderby April 12, 1981.

During her birth, the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck, depriving her brain of oxygen.

Diagnosed soon after with cerebral palsy, Roseberry’s spirit of adventure has been limited by her inability to do many things for herself and a reliance on others, particularly her mother and care aides.

Hyperbaric treatments given in Vernon about a decade ago facilitated enormous changes; she was able to roll over without help, to move from lying down to a seated position on a couch, and even to get her top off and put a nightgown on while sitting in her wheelchair – all for the first time in her life.

Those changes took place within the first two weeks of treatment, sessions for

which her mom, Linda Crocker, gladly paid a total of $4,000.

“When she was going to graduate, I said I’d take my last bonus and paycheque for the treatments,” says Crocker, noting that prior to the treatments, Roseberry’s physical abilities were like those of a newborn child.

“We just kept going for treatments until the money had gone.”

Spasms are a continuing challenge for Roseberry as her limbs jerk uncontrollably, leaving her legs black and blue and her care aide, Tova Brown, suffering her fair share of head butts and kicks as well.

After hearing about stem cell treatments on television four years ago, Roseberry has dreamed about getting them for herself.

That dream has recently been re-energized by improvements Jody Hanna has experienced since she underwent treatments in January, says Brown.

While she is not yet able to see, Jody’s cognitive memory is improving and her response to things is quicker.

“When she’s asked certain things, she responds quicker and I don’t have to repeat myself,” says Jody’s

mom Alicia.

She says another improvement is the ability Jody is developing to track.

“Jody’s eyes kind of wander all over the place and don’t always go in the same direction,” says Alicia.

While it is still intermittent, Jody is noticing the differences between daytime and nighttime and is sometimes able to say a light has been turned on or off.

“Here we are two months down the road when she’s already able to tell us that the lights are on,” Alicia says, noting patience in the process is not always easy to find.

“Things are just starting to happen.”

Buoyed by Jody’s improvement, Roseberry is dreaming big.

“I want to be able to feed myself, and drink on my own and maybe brush my teeth,” Roseberry says laughing, as she tries to get her hand close to her mouth.

“I’m not gonna be in this chair forever; that is what drives me. Miracles happen to those who believe.”

Roseberry, for whom articulating is also difficult, is excited that if successful, treatments would vastly improve her ability to speak.

Despite her physical

limitations, the woman who believes in big miracles, also believes in big adventures, always having to rely on others to help her experience them.

With a lot of help from family and friends, Roseberry has been heli-skiing, taken

Amanda Roseberry a trip in a dragonboat and “hiked” up a mountain.

Crocker says her daughter has always been happy, something Brown describes as an aura of joy.

“I am with her five days a week and only one time did I ever hear her say she didn’t want to do something,” says Brown, noting Roseberry’s determination, heart and dedication make others want to be a better person. “Usually it’s a person without an ability that wants to emulate a person with abilities – in this case, it’s in reverse. No matter how tired or sick she is, she wants to do

her exercises.”

A student at Okanagan College, Roseberry takes part in the annual Relay For Life and would like to write children’s stories.

After filling in an extensive application, Roseberry was informed she would be a good candidate for treatment.

“I cried,” she says.

“You hyperventilated is what you did, then you cried because you didn’t know whether to laugh or cry,” adds Brown.

In order to get to Phoenix for treatment, Roseberry needs to raise $20,000.

A bank account has been set up at the RBC on Alexander Street – Amanda Roseberry Account # 04990-003-503-594-4.

And everyone is invited to meet Amanda at a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, March 29 in the cafeteria of Okanagan College.

Organizers will also hold a garage sale to raise funds for Roseberry. Items can be dropped off at next Thursday’s meet and greet at the college. Those with donations may also contact Tova Brown at 250-803-2906, or Linda Crocker at 250-832-4551.

Organics offer big benefits When I’m in the fruit and veggie section of a grocery store, it makes me feel a little sad to know that all of that delicious and colourful looking food is likely to be nutritionally deficient and not as healthy as it looks.

Even some “organically” grown food – if I can get it – isn’t always what it’s chalked up to be either. So let’s take a look at what the food and farm industry people say about organic vs. conventionallygrown food plants.

“Healthy soils = healthy food = healthy people,” is a fundamental tenet of many ecological farming systems, yet the nutritional quality of food grown by organic and conventional methods is the subject of much controversy. The mainstream scientific community argues that nutritional differences do not exist and that plants don’t know the difference between organic and chemical fertilizers.

Organic advocates claim organically grown foods are nutritionally superior because such foods contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and have a much greater level of vitality and are more disease and pestresistant. In addition, the plants are more healthful due to lower levels of pesticide residue and nitrate-nitrogen and have greater density and better flavor.

GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

In the article, Is Organic Food More Nutritious?, the author states that organic production provides other benefits, such as conserving natural resources, solving rather than creating environmental problems, and reducing the pollution of air, water, soil and food.

There are also environmental and cultural influences on the nutritional composition of produce and soil health.

These include the soil type (overall mineral composition), the level of organic matter (humus content), biological soil and microbial activity, soil moisture, climate and weather (temperature, rainfall, drought), geographical area, overall soil fertility, fertilizing practices and level of pollutants.

Growing practices likely to affect food quality include humus management techniques and composting, variety, seed source, length of growing season, irrigation, fertilization, cultivation and time of picking and post-harvest handling.

A common thread in alternative agriculture and health literature is declining food quality in the industrialized food production system due to nutrient-depleted soils.

A U.S. Senate document from 1936 states: “The alarming fact is that foods – fruits and vegetables and grains – now being raised on million acres of land that no longer contains enough of certain needed minerals, are starving us, no matter how much of them we eat.”

Leap ahead a few decades and we can read countless other articles and studies saying the same thing, such as the 1993 document titled, Exhausted Soil Produces Exhausted People.

Dr. Joel Wallach, author of Dead Doctors Don’t Lie, states, “All animals and humans get their food directly or indirectly from plants, and all plants get their food from the soil.

Therefore, mineral-deficient soil may be one of the greatest original sources of disease in the world today.”

In the book Empty Harvest - Understanding the link between our food, our immunity and our planet, Dr. Bernard Jensen from Cornell University wrote, “There is only one major disease and that is malnutrition. All ailments and afflictions to which we may fall heir are directly traceable to this major disease.

Food crops grown on depleted soil produce malnourished bodies, and disease preys on malnourished bodies.”

To give an example, from 1963 to 1992, the average percentage of change in the mineral content of some fruits and vegetables looks like this: calcium – 30 per cent; iron – 30 per cent; magnesium – 21 per cent; phosphorus – 12 per cent.

The agriculture-nutrition-wellness connection involves more than farming, especially when nutritious food leaving the farm gate is less likely than ever to translate into healthy eating To sum it up, organically grown produce from organic seed sources contributes to the long-term health of the soil and environment, and to the humans and animals that eat it. Throw in the fact that the organic farming industry supports wellness, sustainability and reproduction for future generations to come.

The more I learn about our food and what’s in it or on it, the more I’m motivated to grow more of my own in the best soil possible, and also support my local organic farms where I know where it’s coming from and how it’s grown.

Enbridge proposal offers Canada energy security A nation wishing to grow its economy and provide jobs for its people must have the ability to create new wealth.

Economists report that currently one-third of our economy is wealth creation, onethird to those that cycle the fruits of the wealth creator (people that supply the consumer market), and one-third government services.

Without wealth creation the other twothirds do not exist.

Without money earned by consumers so they can spend, there is no supply market, and without tax dollars, there are no government services.

This is why our government is in support of a responsible development of the Alberta oil sands. In the next 25 years, the oil sands production will add $2.1 trillion to our economy.

The taxes paid will be $311 billion to the federal government, $105

FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes billion in provincial tax and $350 billion in provincial royalties.

The oil sands will create 905,000 jobs in total at its peak, with 126,000 of those jobs outside of Alberta. Of those 126,000 jobs approximately 30,000 will be in B.C. Supplies and services to the industry purchased in B.C. are estimated to be $28 billion.

Canada has the most stringent and comprehensive environmental regulations in the world.

Canadians want to protect the country’s natural beauty and wish

MOSS

to have responsible development.

Why would government or industry want it any other way?

Technological innovation has helped improve the process of oil extraction, as well as minimize the impact to the environment.

The Gateway Pipeline will also go through the same environmental assessment process.

This pipeline is an important market link to the Asia Pacific and will allow Canada a second market for our oil. The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association has more than 100,000 kilometres of pipe in the ground in North America. They invest $1.2 billion annually to ensure safe and effective delivery of their product.

Canada’s oil production is 2.8 million barrels per day -- the sixth largest producer in the world. We export 1.8 million barrels a day valued at $38.9 billion

a year. Mostly all of our exports are delivered through a pipeline.

Most westerners are not aware that 80 per cent of the oil refined in Quebec and Atlantic Canada is delivered by oil tankers that come from foreign suppliers.

All the oil super tankers today must meet international standards which require double-hulled ships.

There has never been an oil spill from a double-hulled tanker. Canada should not be importing oil when we have an abundant domestic supply.

The planned pipeline expansion in eastern Canada by Enbridge will bring western oil to eastern markets and all but ensure Canada’s energy security.

The proposed pipeline in northern B.C. will help us supply the growing markets in Asia.

What makes us unique?

SHUSWAP PASSION Jim Cooperman its diversity. There are not many other areas in the province that contain so many different ecosystems. From the dry ponderosa pine and bunchgrass landscapes close to Falkland and Chase, to the Interior rainforests of the upper Adams and Seymour, to the rich Shuswap River and Salmon River valley farmlands, the Shuswap has it all. And in some locations this diversity can be a mere hundreds of metres apart, from a dry, pine-treed hillside to a creek canyon where there are cedar and hemlock trees.

Another quality that sets the Shuswap apart is its First Nation heritage, as so many place names originate from the Secwepemc peoples. As well, the local First Nation bands, despite having endured more than 150 years of injustice, are thriving.

Their cultural heritage and language are being revived and their economies are improving, unlike many other areas of North America where First Nation communities have either disappeared or are

struggling.

As the soon to be retiring Vancouver boomers know, the Shuswap has a plethora of uniquely diverse recreational opportunities.

While the focus up until the last decade has been on the motorized sector from houseboats, to speedboats, jet skis, snowmobiles and motorbikes, the more environmentally friendly options are gaining traction. Thanks to the rapidly growing legion of trail enthusiasts led by the Shuswap Trail Alliance, the network of bike and hiking trails

“Given all the Shuswap has to offer from its magnificent vistas to its thriving culture, it is no wonder that so many boomers want to retire here!”

is improving yearly.

One of the Shuswap’s most enduring unique qualities is our culture as, despite our relatively small population, we are home to one of the premier musical events in Canada, the Roots and Blues Festival.

Throughout the rest of the year, there are a growing number of coffee houses in surrounding communities where highly talented local musicians play

to full audiences. And there are the Salmon Arm Art Gallery (SAGA) jazz nights, the summer music nights at the Wharf and the very popular, annual student music festivals. In addition to all the fabulous music, we have wonderful live theatre and so many creative artists that are able to show their work in a splendid heritage building thanks to so much community support. It is the amazing level of community spirit that also makes the Shuswap so special, from our very active community halls, to the large numbers of volunteers for the festivals, to the Shuswap Foundation that helps support a wide variety of local, non-profit organizations.

Perhaps one of the Shuswap’s most unique cultural features is the Salmar Community Association, which is one of only a few in Canada, is likely the oldest and is the only one with two facilities and five movie screens.

And since the Association was established more than 70 years ago, it has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for community projects and scholarships.

Given all the Shuswap has to offer from its magnificent vistas, to its thriving culture, it is no wonder that so many boomers want to retire here.

One of the enjoyable parts of spending time at a backcountry lodge is chatting with the other skiers from around the country and the world.

Last week, a businessman from Vancouver asked me about Salmon Arm, because some of his friends are thinking of retiring here soon. I asked him what are the reasons his friends have for planning to move here. There was of course the obvious: our huge, clean, warm lake, as well as the great music scene and the bike trails. Contrary to what some locals believe, shopping opportunities are clearly not part of their decision-making.

Just what makes our Shuswap region so unique and special?

Certainly the size, shape, location and water quality of Shuswap Lake is one attribute that cannot be found in many other parts of North America, or even the world. The diversity of the lake itself, with so much of its shoreline in a natural, uninhabited state is a rarity. And a sizeable part of the lake in Seymour Arm is permanently protected as a Provincial Park that also includes Hunakwa Lake, which is quite likely the largest, roadfree, protected wilderness lake in the interior of North America at a low elevation.

Another aspect of the Shuswap that makes the region quite unique is

GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Reporter: “What do you think of Western civilization, Mr. Gandhi?”

Mohandas Gandhi: “I think it would be a good idea.”

The quote is probably apocryphal but, if the Mahatma didn’t say it, he should have.

Now we have something close to a global civilization: Most of the world’s people work in similar economies, use the same machines and live about as long.

They even know most of the same things and have the same ambitions.

So, we need somebody to ask us the same question.

Do we really think a global civilization is a good idea?

And, if so, have we any plans for keeping it going beyond a few more generations?

History is full of civilizations that collapsed and, often, their fall was followed by a Dark Age. In the past, these Dark Ages were just regional events (Europe after the fall of Rome, Central America after the collapse of Mayan civilization, China after the Mongol invasion), but now we are all in the same boat.

If this civilization crashes, we could end up in the longest and worst Dark Age ever.

Our duty to our great-grandchildren is to figure out how to get

through the 21st century without a collapse.

We have all the rest of history to get through, but we cannot even imagine what the problems and opportunities of the 22nd century will be, so let’s concentrate on what would constitute interim success by 2100.

Interim success in 2100 would be a world in which a recognizable descendant of the current civilization is still thriving.

The global population might be heading back down toward the current seven billion by then, having peaked at several billion higher, but it won’t fall faster than that unless billions die in famine and war — so, it must be a future in which a very big population is still sustainable.

Unfortunately, the way we are living now is not sustainable.

We have taken too much land out of the natural cycles in order to grow our own food on it.

We are systematically destroying the world’s major fish populations through overfishing and pollution.

We are driving most of the larger land animals to extinction.

This is a “six-planet” civilization: It would take six Earth-like planets to sustain the present human population in the high-energy, high-consumption style that is the hallmark of the current global civilization.

Not all of the seven billion have achieved that lifestyle yet, but they all want it and most of them are going to get it.

And, for the foreseeable future, we will have only one planet, not six.

(250) 803-1175 thompson.pam3@gmail.com

That’s the real problem we must solve if we are to reach 2100 without civilizational collapse and a massive dieback of the human population.

All the other stuff we worry about, like global warming, ocean acidification and the “sixth great extinction”, are really signals we are not solving the basic sustainability problem.

Nor will we ever solve it by just using less energy and eating less meat.

Not at seven billionplus, we won’t.

So, we really have only two options.

We can go on in the present patchwork way, with a bit of conservation here and some more renewable energy there, in which case we are heading for population collapse through global famine — and probably civilizational collapse as well because of the attendant wars — well before 2100.

Or, we can try to float free from our dependence on the natural cycles.

Use the scientific and technological capabilities of our current civilization to reduce our pressure on the natural world radically.

Stop growing or catching our food, for example, and learn to produce it on an industrial scale through biotechnology instead.

Just achieving food independence would greatly reduce our vulnerability to climate change, but we need to stop global warming anyway.

Otherwise, much of what we call nature will not survive and half the world’s big cities will be drowned by sea level rise.

Given how much excess carbon dioxide

we have dumped into the atmosphere already through burning fossil fuels, that will probably require direct human intervention in the climate system — geoengineering, in other words.

We must also stop burning fossil fuels and move to alternative sources of energy as fast as we can, but we almost certainly won’t move fast enough to avoid runaway warming without geo-engineering.

The more romantic environmentalists hate this stuff and insist there is a third option.

They think we can avoid disaster just by learning to “live lightly on the planet.”

That would be nice, but it can’t be done with seven-billion people, even if they all lived like Gandhi.

That option disappeared at the latest in the 1960s, when we passed the three-billion mark.

This civilization is the distilled essence of a 10,000-year human fascination with technology.

It will live or die according to its ability to solve by new technologies the problems it has created by its own past technological successes.

If we want our greatgrandchildren to be happy in 2100 — if we want them even to be alive — we have to start managing some of the planet’s systems (like the climate system) and remove ourselves from some of the others.

There really is no third option.

SPORTS Soccer gears up for start of season Spring must be on its way because soccer registrations keep coming in!

Thank you to all the parents and players who have mastered our new online registration system or who stopped by the office to make sure their children’s registrations were in by the deadline. All new systems have their glitches and everyone has been very patient as we worked through things this year. It has been much appreciated.

We’ve been very pleased with the progress, despite a bit of a slow start getting the new system up and running. Due to the very short time period before the deadline and the fact that we’re looking for more players in certain age groups, we’ve decided to waive the late fee for this year and remember – we’ve lowered fees for most age groups as well. If you’re trying to get that video game controller out of your child’s hand or away from the TV, soccer is an easy way to meet new friends and a great form of exercise.

Missed registration for some reason?

It’s not too late! Visit www.ShuswapSoccer. com to complete your online registration or stop by our office at 351 Third St. SW to get that looked after.

As the player registrations rolled in so did

ON THE PITCH Kevin Harrison

the parents, offering to volunteer but we are still looking to fill a number of volunteer positions. For as little as two hours a week, as a coach or assistant, you can make a huge difference to a group of children’s lives. Don’t worry about your experience level. Free coaching clinics and training manuals are available.

Check on our website under coaching tab for more details.

Game day site equipment volunteers, ensuring proper equipment is handed in and out at field.

Team Contacts are needed to distribute information to players through the season with limited time devoted to email or phone communication.

Division co-ordinators are needed for each age group and almost all of this work is done prior to the start of the season.

If any of these sound like areas that you could help please call or email the office to volunteer or get more details.

The new registration

system also brought with it a new website.

Information on the site is updated whenever we need to get a new message to our parents and players so be sure to check it regularly.

This will be your source for everything youth soccer – including weather-related field closures once the season is underway. We’re working diligently to make sure the site has the answers to your questions, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for please email us at admin@ShuswapSoccer.com or call us at the office at 250-8335607.

Equipment is being gathered and planning is well underway. Soon Saturdays will find the green space in Salmon Arm covered with soccer players 3 to 18 years of age, from 8:30 in the morning until 8 at night.

Lead up to the season is always a bit stressful in our office but once you’re on one of the fields on Saturday morning with the kids running, laughing and cheering each other on and the parents supporting their kids and visiting with each other over their morning coffee you know that all the last-minute long hours were worth it.

Don’t miss it! Remember, if you haven’t registered your child it’s not too late. Sign up today.

Residents chosen for Man in Motion It’s a once in a lifetime experience for 29 local residents who will serve as medal bearers to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Rick Hansen Man in Motion World Tour when the anniversary relay reaches Salmon Arm April 4.

Although a few remaining spots have yet to be filled, the list of difference makers who will represent the community April 4 and 7 include: Hannah Baskill, Nora Kennett, Brian Ennis, Nicole Nadin, Patti Brock, Barry Dearing, Petronella Peach, Kate Hiscock, Silken Kleer, Teresa Mckerral, Amanda Jones, Cathy Evans, Donna Flatman, Linda Hlina, Chali Pattison, Wende Winn, Debi Podruzny, Anne Ram, Abby Vandermeulen, Tyler Stefanyk, Amy Witt, Marleen Maas, Malaya Wolff, Bert Revel, Debra McDonald, Marci Hyatt, Melanie Kohinsky, Dawn Hughes and Dee Lewis.

Wearing the Rick Hansen medal, each participant will walk, run or wheel about 250 metres before passing it on to the next medal bearer, and when this medal reaches its final destination in Vancouver this May, it will have passed through 600 communities, and have travelled across 12,000 kilometres. In 1987 Hansen travelled 40,000 kilometres around the world to raise money and awareness of spinal cord injury.

CHASE Arrests made in Lee Creek

By Tracy Hughes MARKET NEWS STAFF

Five people have been arrested and numerous firearms seized following the execution of a search warrant at a Lee Creek home.

Chase RCMP, with assistance from the Salmon Arm detachment and the Kamloops police dog section, searched the Eva Road residence on Wednesday, March 7, Cpl. Mark Skotnicki said in a news release issued Monday.

The execution of the warrant also involved the “high-risk stops” of three vehicles in Squilax. The vehicles had departed from the residence, Skotnicki said.

Four men and one woman were arrested.

One of the men was on recognizance, facing charges relating to 12 armed robberies in Alberta.

# A second incident in as many months brought police to this Lee Creek residence. In the first, a man was shot several times. More recently, police seized weapons from the home on March 7.

250.832.2131 tammy@saobserver.net

Charges are pending against several of the people arrested.

Suspects are not being named until charges are officially approved

by Crown counsel.

Numerous firearms were seized, including a loaded handgun

found in one vehicle.

This residence is well-known to police.

In January, a 59-yearold man was shot several times at the residence but survived.

While that attempted murder investigation continues, police say

there does not appear to be a connection between the two incidents.

At that time, a resident of the area told the Observer the homeowner is out of the country and the home was being looked after

by someone else. The resident, who did not want to be named for fear of retribution, said the home was a suspected drug house.

“Let’s just say nobody around here is surprised the police were called there.”

Better service: Regulation changes open up mobile networks.

Cathy McLeod, member of Parliament for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo is pleased that the federal government will be taking action to provide Canadian families with more choices at lower prices for wireless services.

“The government plans to hold the 700MHz auction in the first half of 2013, to be followed by auction of the 2500MHz spectrum within a year, which will further enable service providers to meet the growing demand for data by consumers and businesses,” said McLeod.

“The measures introduced this week will give rural Canadians the same advanced services as everyone else in a timely manner,” said McLeod.

“In addition, a portion of the spectrum

will be reserved for public safety users such as police and firefighters across Canada.”

The changes to the 700MHz spectrum will allow telecom companies to bring the latest 4G LTE mobile networks to Canadian consumers and businesses, including those in rural areas.

This means Canadians will have access to the fastest mobile speeds and latest devices, such as the newest iPad, PlayBook and smartphones.

They will have access to high-definition video and video conferencing over mobile networks.

Canadians will benefit from greater access to e-health, intelligent transport and other advanced applications.

This will result in improved connectivity

for consumers, increased business productivity and enhanced safety for Canadians.

More specifically, the measures will include: • The Telecommunications Act will be amended to lift foreign investment restrictions for telecom companies that hold less than a 10-percent share of the total Canadian telecommunications market.

This will help telecom companies with a small market share access the capital they need to grow and compete.

• The government will be applying caps in the upcoming spectrum auctions to guarantee that both new wireless competitors and incumbent carriers have access to the spectrum up for auction.

• The government

will improve and extend the existing policy on roaming and tower sharing to further support competition and will improve transparency and information sharing to facilitate agreements between companies to slow the proliferation of new cellphone towers.

“Since 2008 our government has promoted

competition in the wireless sector, this has resulted in reducing the mobile wireless prices for Canadian families by 10 percent.

“The measures announced today build on our actions, supporting competition and the availability of advanced wireless services in rural areas,” said McLeod.

Investment Village of Chase

has signed a strategic community investment funds agreement with the BC Ministry of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development.

The province has agreed to provide $561, 875 paid in two installments by June 30.

These funds are to encourage economic growth in the community.

Workshop

Don’t burn

Village of Chase councillors will attend an April 12 Emergency Program workshop in Kamloops.

The workshop will cover provincial support information in the case where a declaration of a state of local emergency would or should be used.

Fire Chief Brent Chamberlain reminds residents to recycle yard waste rather than burning. A lot of material that can have renewed life in another product, is toxic when burned. As well, fire smoke can be a health hazard for people with respiratory problems.

Chase may be a smaller rural community, but that doesn’t mean there’s any sophistication lacking in the culture. There is a production coming to town with some international acclaim, the message to stop domestic violence.

On March 31st, 2012, at 7 p.m., V-Day Chase will present a one-night only benefit reading of Eve Ensler’s award winning play The Vagina Monologues at Chase Community Hall.

After a limited run off Broadway in 1996, the original production has been staged internationally, and a television version featuring Ensler was produced by cable TV channel HBO. In 1998, Ensler and others, including Willa Shalit, a producer of the Westside Theatre production, launched VDay, a global non-profit movement for women’s anti-violence groups through benefits of The Vagina Monologues.

The play gained popularity through a word-of-mouth campaign that culminated with a performance at Madison Square Garden in 2001, which featured Melissa Etheridge and Whoopi Goldberg performing segments of the play.

Last year over 5,800 V-Day benefits were held around the world, raising more than $5 million through performance of the award-winning play, readings from V-Day’s A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer and Any One Of Us: Words From Prison, as well as screenings of V-Day’s documentary Until The Violence Stops.

Chase has joined this global movement as part of the V-Day 2012 Campaign.

Sketch Theatre will again present a benefit production of The Vagina Monologues at 7 p.m. March 31 at the Chase Community Hall. The proceeds

JOHN WILLIAM KALINCZUK 1949 - 2012 John William Kalinczuk, of Revelstoke B.C., died peacefully Wednesday, March 14, 2012 in Mount Cartier Court Extended Care facility. He was surrounded by his wife and children at the time of his passing.

John was born October 11, 1949 in Moose Jaw SK, to parents Anthony and Ann Kalinczuk. He lived there, along with his sister Jenny, until he moved to B.C. in 1969 to pursue a career with the Canadian PaciďŹ c Railway. His job with the CPR was a source of great pride and enjoyment for John, and it allowed him to provide a more than comfortable living for his family. His children, Jodi, Janice, John and Jaylyn would like to thank their dad for all of the hard work he did to support them through the years, we love you dad.

John lived in a few communities in B.C. including Glacier and Salmon Arm, before settling in Revelstoke with his second wife Barbara in 2000, with whom he shared his love for animals.

Sadly, John’s health failed over the last ten years, which was difďŹ cult for someone who liked to be out walking in the great outdoors as much as possible...most happily with a dog at his side.

John Kalinczuk will be sorely missed by many.

Although his parents are deceased, he is survived b yhis sister, children, wife, four grand children (Kendra, Hannah, Olivia and Abigial), nephew (Rodi) and Niece (Nicki).

For all of those who would like to take part in a Celebration of Life Tea, you are welcome to attend the Knights of Pythias Hall on March 31, 2012 between 1100-1300. It will be an open house format, so feel free to come by and join his family in saying so long to John William Kalinczuk.

The family would like to say thank-you to the doctors and nurses who helped John ďŹ ght his illness for so many years. Special thanks to the doctor and the nurses in his home, who helped to make his last days as peaceful as possible.

NAKAZAWA, STEVEN JOHN December 23, 1957 - March 6, 2012 Steven’s life was tragically taken on March 6, 2012 at the age of 54. Born in Salmon Arm on December 23, 1957, his life was both simple and complex. He was loved dearly and truly, for who he was, by his girlfriend and love Wendy, her two girls Kendra and Hannah, his little buddy Liam, folks Sam and Tammie, sisters Susan (Les), Diane (JP, deceased), brother Terry (Val), aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and true friends. Steven has taken a part of everyone’s lives and will be remembered with love. A celebration of Steven’s life will be held on Saturday, March 24, 1:00 p.m. at the Silver Creek Seniors’ Hall.

DONALD GARY TUFFORD June 12, 1939 - March 9, 2012 On Friday, March 9th, 2012 succumbed to his short battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his family, in his own home, when he completed his journey.

Don was born in Toronto, Ontario on June 12th, 1939 to Harold and Marguerite Tufford.

Don was predeceased by his parents, his brother Al and sister Kay. Don is survived by his best friend and loving wife Nancy, eight children, Susan, Sharilyn, Carolyn, Ricki, Susanne, Phillip, Wayne and Beverleigh, seventeen grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Don grew up in Toronto. He attended Danforth Tech and became an architectural technician. Don worked in this ďŹ eld until the economic downturn in Ontario made it necessary to seek work in Alberta where he was employed with two separate architectural ďŹ rms in Edmonton. Don then took several courses to upgrade his certiďŹ cate and became a contract administrator as well as a site supervisor. He was then recruited by Public Works Canada and transferred to Innisfail, Alberta to oversee the reconstruction of Bowden Institution.

Upon completion, the family moved to Edmonton area where he worked to reconstruct, upgrade and build several other institutions. Don retired in 2001 and he and Nancy moved to the Shuswap. Don’s dream retirement job – working on a golf course - was realized when he was hired at Shuswap Lake Estates. Don was an active member in our community as well as a member of the Masonic Lodge. Don’s favourite past times were golďŹ ng with his granddaughter Jewel, calling Bingo at the SDIS and walking the family pet “Jazzâ€?. Don was awed by the amount of support he received by the people in our Community and wished to thank everyone for their wishes, visits and support. The family would like to thank Dr. K. Goldberg and the staff at the Shuswap Hospital for their care as well as the Case workers from Community Health for their visits to our home. A Memorial service will be held for Don at the Shuswap Lake Community Centre on Sunday, Shuswap Lake Estates, April 1st, 2012 from 2-4p.m. Thanks also to Fischer’s Funeral Home for caring for Don in such a professional manner.

After leaving school, he was employed as a CNR Locomotive Fireman until he contracted polio in 1958 which left him with physical limitations.

When he was able to return to work he was employed for 35 years by Hayes Dana Inc. (Dana Canada) until retirement in 1996 as Regional Manager.

Doug’s determination to overcome many challenges throughout his life, without allowing his disability to deďŹ ne him, was always a source of inspiration and encouragement for his family. “Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you. ‘Twas heaven to be here with you, I loved you so.â€?

- Isla P. Richardson Love you Dad/Grandpa.

Never more than a thought away.

In keeping with Doug’s wishes, no formal service will be held.

Online condolences can be sent through Doug’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

THOMSON, ANNE BOOTH (nee FOWLER) December 7, 1917 - February 29, 2012 Anne was born in Edmonton, Alberta and remained there until she moved out to British Columbia when she was seventeen years old.

She married her husband in 1938 and after living in Vancouver, Wells and other places, they made their home on Quadra Island in 1948. This is where they raised their family. In 1990 she moved from Quadra to Courtenay and a while later on to Salmon Arm where she lived the rest of her life.

Anne loved to garden, her ďŹ&#x201A;owers were always spectacular and she took great care with tending them. Her cooking and baking were fantastic and one was always advised not to eat before visiting because she was sure to try and ďŹ ll you up with her goodies. She was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharp as a tackâ&#x20AC;? up to the very end and her wit will be missed, along with her laughter.

We will all miss you but we are thankful we were gifted with you for so long.

Anne is predeceased by her husband, Gerald Thomson; daughter Geraldine Thomson Smith; son Kenneth Thomson; son-in-laws Brian Smith and Frank â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redâ&#x20AC;? Elford and granddaughter Sharon Smith.

She is survived by her son Bruce (Bridgette) Thomson and her daughter Carol (Barry Eberle) Elford. She also leaves behind grandchildren: David Smith, Craig (Leah) Leslie, Pamela (Robert Bisson) Elford, Brad Elford, Lorena (Steven) Woods, Blake (Karen) Elford and Gerald Thomson.

She will be missed by great-grandchildren Zachary, Garrett and Holly Leslie; Christopher, Nicholas and Corynne Bisson; Jaymie Elford, Charisse and Tierney Woods, Breanne and Rachelle Elford.
