Five years ago Dana Schmidt’s wife died of lung cancer as a result of radon poisoning in their Castlegar home. Many homes in the West Kootenay town had levels of the gas far exceeding the safe limits.

Now Schmidt is hoping to spread the word about the dangers of the gas.

Schmidt was part of a delegation from the Canadian Cancer Society in Cranbrook council Monday. Patti King, Canadian Cancer Society health promotion team leader, said an estimated 500,000 Canadians live in homes that

exceed the guideline.

“Radon enters the house through small spaces in the soil and rock upon which a house is built,” King said. “It can seep through dirt floors, cracks in concrete, sumps, joints, basement drains and concrete block walls.”

King gave out radon test kits to members of council that test for concentrations of the gas over a number of months to see whether it is present in the home.

She said the East and West Kootenays are regions that have higher rates of radon present.

With more than a century’s history in the region, Falkins Insurance is now part of Western Financial Group.

Western announced on Monday, Jan. 6 that it had completed acquisition of Falkins, which is the largest general insurance brokerage in the Kootenays.

The final purchase comes after the two companies entered into a strategic partnership in May 2005, when Western acquired a 20 per cent ownership stake in Falkins.

That portion was increased to 40 per cent in August 2010.

Western, which is the largest Canadian-owned network of insurance brokerages in Canada, completed full ownership of Falkins on Dec. 31, 2013, covering all 11 of Falkins branches and more than 100 employees who will remain in their positions.

Western Financial first became known to many in Cranbrook in August 2012 when it purchased the naming rights to what was then the Cranbrook Rec Plex. The home of the Kootenay Ice has been known as Western Financial Place ever since.

Activist organizes farmed salmon protest in Cranbrook To w n s m a n Sta f f

A protest will be held later this month outside Superstore in Cranbrook.

Environmental activist Audry Lochrie is organizing a boycott of net-pen farmed salmon outside the Cranbrook grocery store on Saturday, Jan. 18 from noon to 2 p.m.

“Concerned citizens are raising awareness to help Superstore customers make informed decisions, and choose not to buy contaminated net-pen farmed salmon,” said Lochrie.

Lochrie is appealing to Superstore management to stop selling Atlantic farmed salmon at its stores.

“The boycott will be a further show to request that net-pen farmed salmon, otherwise known as Atlantic farmed salmon, be removed from their coolers over health concerns,” she said.

“Last year, a request was sent to the Director of Sustainability at Loblaws, which oversees Superstores, to have net-pen farmed salmon removed from their stores. So far, a response has not been received or even acknowledged. This is why the boycott action is being intensified at their stores.”

Boycotts will take place outside Superstores throughout B.C. and in Atlantic Canada.

“People are concerned, not only about what the open-net feedlot aquaculture industry is doing to the marine environment and wild salmon, but also the potential harm to human health, especially children and pregnant mothers,” said Lochrie.

For more information on the Cranbrook farmed salmon boycott, contact Audry Lochrie: audrylochrie@ gmail.com or 250-4447077.

Western Financial completes acquisition of Falkins Insurance Continued from page 1 Western also served as the title sponsor for the inaugural Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo last September.

Pete Stefano, senior vice president, corporate with Falkins, said that Western’s community involvement appealed to Falkins.

“Their values are similar to ours. They are very strong community supporters,” said Stefano. “That’s important to us and important to our customers. The way that they operate is similar so it was a really good marriage that way. The deal just made sense.”

Stefano said that Falkins customers will see a smooth transition to Western.

“I don’t think customers will notice a difference. Western Financial is known for its great customer service, and I think the same could be said for Falkins. So customers are

going to have more choice, but at the end of the day they are going to have the same great people serving them,” he said.

Falkins Insurance first opened its doors in 1897 in Fort Steele, relocating to Cranbrook in the early 1900s. It now operates 11 branches throughout the Kootenays, from Kaslo to Elkford to Golden.

Western Financial Group serves more than 790,000 customers in western Canada.

It was founded in 1996 and is based out of High River, Alberta.

Western has more than 160 locations and affiliates and about 1,800 employees.

“We are thrilled to have finalized our ownership position and officially welcome the Falkins team to the growing Western Financial Group of companies,” said Jeff Burke,

Delegation urges radon gas testing for Cranbrook Continued from page 1 Schmidt said on Sept. 13, 2008 his wife was working out on the treadmill when she came down with a headache.

“The next two and a half, three months I got to learn a whole lot about lung cancer,” Schmidt said. “She died on the 7th of January, 2009.”

He was mystified how someone who was so healthy could come down with the disease and die so quickly.

Schmidt also has a PhD in toxicology and worked in air pollution control in Montana in the 1970s.

“I kind of thought everything causes cancer, it’s just one of those things,” he said. “But I found out the levels that radon are allowed create 500 times the rate of deaths than we would get with any other air

pollutant found in the environment. Basically the average radon found in a home in Castlegar is equivalent to smoking full time. It’s the same risk.”

Radon seeps through the foundation and the key to bringing down the levels is putting a basic hole in the foundation, ideally when the home is built, and venting it just like sewer gas. A fan on the vent pipe ensures that there is a negative pull on the gas.

In his own office, Schmidt said they managed to drop levels by 95 per cent. They found levels 20 times the limit at the home of a single mother and once the vent was in place saw those levels drop by 98 per cent.

Castlegar had proposed a building bylaw that was rejected by the

ministry, that required new homes to have the standpipe in the basement hooked up to a vent. It would cost a few hundred dollars per home.

Coun. Gerry Warner said, as someone who grew up in Castlegar, it was more than a bit alarming to hear.

Schmidt said many of the schools in the Castlegar area were mitigated 10 years ago, so he said the problem has been known for a number of years.

Schmidt’s foundation, the Donna Schmidt Memorial Lung Cancer Prevention Society, donates long-term radon detectors to households and businesses in the West Kootenay.

Schmidt hopes to soon distribute the detectors out of Cranbrook as well.

They suggest a $15 donation.

lumbia, offering more choice to our existing and potential customers.”

Stefano said Western will bring new options to Falkins customers.

“Western’s large network provides our customers with more options, and their commitment to their values of truthfulness, fairness, value and loyalty has

been a great marriage for Falkins. Through the acquisition, we’re now able to offer a wider selection of insurance products and banking services.”

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The Interior Health authority says a woman from British Columbia’s Okanagan has died after she contracted the same strain of flu that has claimed the lives of 16 people in the Prairies.

Senior medical officer Dr. Rob Parker says lab reports confirm the woman who was in her 50s had the H1N1 virus.

The virus that has claimed the lives of six people in Saskatchewan and 10 people in Alberta is also making

its presence felt in southwestern B.C. Two separate health authorities in the Metro Vancouver have reported that more than 20 people have been hospitalized with the virus.

Provincial medical health officer Dr. Perry Kendall says medical officials still don’t know whether one death in the Vancouver area can be blamed on the flu.

Parker says some pharmacies could see temporary shortages of the vaccination because the supply is tight.

their family, friends and communities,” said Carla Qualtrough, human rights lawyer, two-time Paralympian and chair of the Minister’s Council on Employment and Accessibility. “We want to hear from everyone who has something to contribute to enrich the discussion and enrich the outcome.”

The consultation is led by a leadership team representing the disability and business communities working alongside government.

Two advisory groups, the Minister’s Council on Employment and Accessibility, and the Presidents Group, are in place to help drive the conversation.

“We will be working with the business community to dispel some of the myths that may be holding businesses back from hiring people with disabilities,” said Tamara Vrooman, president and CEO, Vancity and co-chair of the Presidents Group. “At the same time, we’ll be encouraging workplac-

es to understand the benefits of hiring people with disabilities.”

Feedback from the consultation will inform the development of a white paper, a document that will reflect public feedback and ideas.

The paper will be shared at a provincial summit in June 2014 that will bring together a diverse group of leaders to develop strategies and actions for addressing the issues facing people with disabilities in British Columbia.

Pastafarian Christopher Shaffer, pictured with the colander on his head, was sworn into town council in Dunkirk, New York. life-savers. This week, a woman in London, England gave birth to her son in the parking lot of a hospital while wearing her full body pajamas. Baby Kyle simply slid safely down one leg and remained contained until hospital staff undid the onesie.

Lifesaving pajamas. Nice.

Also in the UK this past weekend, a pilot says his Airbus was almost hit by a UFO. The captain was so convinced that the “rugby ball” shaped object would smash into the Airbus that he ducked as it headed towards the cockpit.

The pilot reported the incident to air traffic control and checked the aircraft’s instruments immediately after it shot past, but there was no sign of the mystery object. Who knew that aliens were rugby fans?

Hockey, I could see. But rugby?

And one more event in the UK this weekend. A hearse, containing a coffin, was seen going through the drive-

through of a fried chicken franchise. No word on whether the rest of the funeral procession followed.

Now lest you think England has the market on weird behaviour covered, I not only refer to Vick, Robert above, but to a man in Mooroopna, northern Victoria, Australia. The man apparently thought it would be delightful fun to scare his partner by hiding in the washing machine. But he got stuck and instead of being scared, his partner got to laugh derisively as emergency came and removed him by rubbing him with olive oil. Something to think about, practical jokers.

All these and more delightful human foibles occurred this past week. Earth. You gotta live it. And who’d want to live on a planet where airplanes are shaped like rugby balls?

WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE

Schacher traded to Regina Pats Victoria Royals trade Kimberley native for two fifth-round bantam draft picks

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

With WHL trade deadline looming, clubs are making moves and Kimberley native Isaac Schacher was part of a deal on Tuesday, as the defenceman was traded from the Victoria Royals to the Regina Pats.

Schacher, a former rearguard with the Kimberley Dynamiters of the KIJHL, made the jump up to major-junior full-time this season with the Royals, playing 35 games and posting a goal and five assists.

He joined the squad last year following his playoff exit with the Dynamiters, making his WHL debut with the Royals in front of a home crowd against the Ice at Western Financial Place.

The deal went down for a pair of fifth round bantam draft picks in 2015/2016 that Regina

sent to Victoria in exchange for Schacher.

“We are happy to add a player of Isaac’s stature to our lineup.

Schacher will provide depth and add size to our back-end,” said Pats GM Chad Lang. “With the departure of Tye Hand, we felt it was important to add a big defender to our roster.”

Hand, an 18-year-old defenceman, has been forced to miss the rest of the season due to fears of long-term injury after sustaining a few concussions in consecutive seasons.

Victoria also swung a a big deal on Monday, picking up Chicago Blackhawks draft pick Travis Brown in exchange for Noah Gregor, two third-round picks and a conditional pick. Brown is a defenceman and a fourthround selection in the 2012 NHL Draft.

TORONTO - Team Canada’s management staff met for seven hours to decide on the final players on the 25-man roster for the Sochi Olympics, and predictably there was still plenty of debate over who made it and who didn’t.

“Every one of us in Canada has an opinion on who should be on this team and nobody’s wrong. Nobody’s wrong because they’re all really good players.”

Steve Yzerman In the final analysis, forwards Jeff Carter, Patrick Marleau and Chris Kunitz were named to the roster, while Martin St. Louis, Claude Giroux and Logan Couture were left off.

“Every one of us in Canada has an opinion

on who should be on this team and nobody’s wrong,” executive director Steve Yzerman said Tuesday. “Nobody’s wrong because they’re all really good players.

Ultimately, this group is in charge of deciding who the 14 (forwards), eight (defencemen) and three (goalies) are.”

Of the 25, 11 won gold at the Vancouver Games. That includes Sidney Crosby, who scored the overtime winner in the 2010 final, and goaltender Roberto Luongo, who is likely to split the 2014 tournament’s first two games with Carey Price.

Forwards Jonathan Toews, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Patrice Bergeron, Rick Nash and Marleau and defencemen Shea Weber, Duncan Keith and Drew Doughty also return from 2010.

“I like the makeup and (think) the experience of Stanley Cup-winners and 11 gold-medallists and 12 participants in the Olympics before is going to be key as we

SPORTS BRIEFS Pacers hold NBA’s best record, beat Raptors 86-79

INDIANAPOLIS - Roy Hibbert scored 22 points and Danny Granger matched his season high with 13 to help Indiana hold off Toronto 86-79 Tuesday night.

The Pacers (28-6) won their third straight to retain the NBA’s best record.

Toronto (16-17) has lost two straight on the road at Miami and Indiana - after winning four straight.

The Raptors were led by DeMar DeRozan with 28 and Patrick Patterson with 20 against a Pacers team that looked more like itself after losing north of the border last week.

Indiana had a 40-26 scoring advantage in the paint and limited the Raptors to 37 per cent shooting from the field.

They closed the first half on an 8-3 spurt to take a 44-36 lead, which they extended to 17 in the third.

Toronto couldn’t get closer than six the rest of the way.

move forward,” said Doug Armstrong, St. Louis Blues GM and member of Team Canada’s management staff.

Price and forwards John Tavares and Steven Stamkos lead the group of newcomers, which is full of youth and speed, which will be key on the international-sized ice surface.

Other newcomers chosen by Yzerman and his management team include forwards Kunitz and Matt Duchene and defencemen Jay Bouwmeester, Alex Pietrangelo and P.K. Subban, who was the subject of much debate leading up to Tuesday’s announcement.

“In the end we’ve put together the best group of players we possibly can,” coach Mike Babcock said. “Now we have to become the best team we possibly can.”

Team Canada is hoping to cash in on Kunitz’s natural chemistry with his Penguins teammate Crosby.

“A lot of people have asked me is Kunitz being helped by Sidney

Crosby,” Yzerman said.

“They help each other.

He’s a tremendous player and ultimately, we asked ourselves, does he belong on this team?

And the answer is yes.”

Eric Staal and Dan Boyle were also considered candidates who didn’t make the cut.

Lightning forward Stamkos’ status for the tournament is unclear as he continues to recover from a broken leg.

Yzerman said his rehab is going well.

Lindsey Vonn is going to skip the Sochi Olympics because of a right knee injury.

Her personal publicist, Lewis Kay, says in a statement Tuesday that Vonn “will have surgery shortly.”

The 29-year-old American won two medals at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, including a gold in the downhill. She is also a four-time overall World Cup champion and the biggest name in Alpine skiing.

But Vonn tore two ligaments in her right knee during a high-speed crash at the world championships last February, sidelining her for about 10 months. She re-tore her surgically repaired ACL in a training crash in November, then sprained her MCL during a race at Val d’Isere, France, last month.

Dolphins GM mutually parts ways with NFL team

MIAMI - Jeff Ireland is out after six seasons as general manager of the Miami Dolphins, who have failed to reach the playoffs the past five years.

In a brief announcement Tuesday, owner Stephen Ross said he and Ireland mutually agreed to part ways. Ireland had been unpopular with fans for several years, and a late-season collapse by the team last month left his job in jeopardy.

The Dolphins, who finished 8-8, said they would conduct an immediate search for a replacement to lead football operations.

Still to be determined is Ireland’s role in a locker-room bullying scandal that drew national scrutiny. The NFL has yet to release a report on its investigation into the case.

Lionel Messi cleared to play after 2-month injury layoff

BARCELONA, Spain - Lionel Messi is set to return from a two-month injury layoff after being cleared by Barcelona’s team doctors and included in its squad for the Copa del Rey match against Getafe on Wednesday.

Messi hasn’t played since tearing his left hamstring in Nov. 10, his fourth leg injury last year. He returned to training with Barcelona last week after recovering in Argentina.

Barcelona lost its only two games of the season without Messi, but it has managed to hold onto a share of the Spanish league lead with Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona hosts Getafe in the first leg of the round of 16 before travelling to Atletico on Saturday in one of the most highly anticipated league matches of the season.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be shocked by what goes down, especially after you hear from someone who knows the background of the events. Your fuse might be short because you view the situation as unnecessary. Evaluate what is happening. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Observe what is going on behind the scenes. You might be surprised by how someone can say few words yet still reveal what is happening. Your sense of humor emerges later in the day, once you get some errands and/or work done. Tonight: Feel your Wheaties.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others seem to be acting independently and not in unison with a project. Keeping everyone on the same page will be challenging. Suggest a meeting for a discussion on this matter. If this issue does not dissolve, you are likely to vanish. Tonight: Get some R and R.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take praise as it is intended to be received. Your energy is very high, so be sure to expend it appropriately; otherwise, you could become snappy and difficult. Meanwhile, go dancing at a favorite place or find your friends. Tonight: Say “yes” to an interesting offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You might want to get more facts before coming to a final conclusion about an evolving decision. You will shed light on the situation, which could help others understand.

Tonight: Pretend it is the weekend, and make plans now!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll want to get more information about an important situation. You might ask a question that draws out a money issue. An opportunity could become obvious in a meeting.

Don’t hesitate, or you could lose this opportunity. Tonight: Accept an offbeat offer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might have a lot to say, but

Tundra

2 1 0 4 B - 2 N D S T. S , C R A N B R O O K

getting in a word with others, as animated as they are, could be difficult. Instead, go off and handle a responsibility that you are only too happy to take care of. Be happy to be away from the chaos. Tonight: Say “yes” to a loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pace yourself, as you seem to have a lot to do. You might want to keep an even pace, but an important discussion demands your time. Know when to let go of rigidity. Step back and allow yourself to see the big picture.

You can’t dictate every moment.

Tonight: Do more listening.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Let your creativity help a situation involving your finances.

You might want to reach out for more feedback. As a result, you could decide that a different course would be better. Way to not let your ego get involved!

Tonight: Enjoy some downtime with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Think in terms of what needs to happen and what will happen if you let someone run over your

more grounded ideas. You could experience disappointment at not being understood, but the smart move would be to try a different approach. Tonight: Go for naughty and nice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep reaching out to someone with whom you chat often.

This person’s opinion means a lot to you, as he or she offers a different perspective. You will get interesting feedback. Others often are amazed by how easily the two of you can see eye to eye. Tonight: At home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Communication flourishes later in the day, but know that a friend could dump his or her frustration on you. It serves you to say little, as this person will recognize on his or her own that he or she was being a bit outrageous. Tonight: Visit with a close loved one.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m an identical twin and will be turning 56 in February, but my sister behaves more like my daughter than my sister.

Annie, I’m sick of it! My twin sister turned her back on me in believing ridiculous lies told by my youngest brother. Several years later, she showed up out of the blue needing a place to live, knowing “Old Sis” would take her in. She lived with me for eight years until she got a job transfer. She still calls wanting money. I’ve learned how to make excuses, but I want it to stop.

I need help being upfront with this mooch of a sister, but I’ve never confronted anyone before in my entire life. Any advice? -- Sister of a Mooch Dear Sister: You don’t need to be confrontational. You need to be assertive. Your sister takes advantage of you because you permit it. The easiest way to stop permitting it is to learn to say no. So when she asks for money, tell her, “I’m sorry, but not this time.” If she asks why not, reply, “I have loaned you enough.” Practice saying it in front of a mirror until it comes naturally. Write it down on a piece of paper and tape it next to your phone so it is on hand when she calls. You are under no obligation to give her excuses, evasions or explanations. Be polite, but just say no.

Dear Annie: I have been widowed for 19 years and belong to a support group of women who go out to lunch once a month.

Before I married my late husband, I was an independent businesswoman, cared for an elderly parent, paid my own bills, pumped my own gas, bought my own cars, etc. I was surprised to learn how few of the women in my group know how to do any of these things. They have no clue what their family finances are. One of them had to learn how to drive when her husband died.

Please, please, please tell wives (and husbands) to take responsibility for themselves while their spouses are still living and learn what their financial obligations are, when their bills are due, how to pump gas and all the other things you will need to know in order to be independent. It is hard enough to transition from married life to widowhood without having to learn basic life skills at the same time. -- Been There, Knew How To Do That in Kentucky Dear Kentucky: Thank you for the knock on the head. Along with financial matters and pumping gas, both men and women should know how to cook a simple meal, sew on a button, iron a shirt, load the dishwasher and do the laundry. These are skills that everyone needs, and it is shortsighted to assume that someone else will handle them for you for the rest of your life.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Uncomfortable,” whose new mother-in-law wants her to call her “Mom.” I had a similar problem when my son married his wife. I love her dearly. One day, I wrote her an email and signed it, “Love, Your ‘Other’ Mom.” She responded to me in that same way. Now, after several years, she is able to call me “Mom.” When my own mother passed away, I found it difficult to think of another person as my mom. Now, I have friends whose mothers are still living, and I often refer to a few of them as “my other mother.” One of these special moms phones me every now and then and refers to me as her “other daughter.” I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I hope this helps “Uncomfortable” refer to her mother-in-law in a less awkward way. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Dearly loved and missed by her Cranbrook family, Judy, Erin, Michael and Shauna (Sarah and Taylor), Patrick and Angela (Natalia and Tyson) and Jeremy Vaughan. She will also be missed by Charlsie Wilson, Joan Edwards, her many friends and Kian.

Marilee taught for many years, starting and ending her career at Muriel Baxter School. She taught all of the primary grades (Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2). She so loved teaching at Muriel Baxter School that she really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see herself teaching anywhere else and as a result, retired in 2002 when the school was closed.

On January 3, 2014, her mansion was finished, and the Lord took her home to be with Him. Funeral service will be held at First Baptist Church on Thursday, January 9, 2014 at 3:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Friends of Children, Cranbrook, B.C.

Florence Georgina McFarlane Morrison McGillivray Born on May 28th, 1911 in Calgary, AB, Flo was the daughter of Kimberley Homesteaders John and Georgina Morrison.

She was raised in Morrison Subdivision and proudly accepted the challenges of life that early Kimberley offered her. In 1935 she married John McGillivray, a recent transplant from Scotland and they were blessed with a family of four: Myra, Alleyne, John and Isabel. In 1948, they moved to a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cominco mine, the Bluebell, in Riondel and remained there until retirement in 1965 when they relocated to Edmonton. Here she accepted a new challenge and a new career as Manager of Canterbury Court Apartments. In 1974, husband John passed away.

With these changes, Flo faced her new life with incredible courage and fierce independence. During this time, she was blessed with the company of 3 of her children and their children. She remained in Edmonton until 2003 when she moved to Kimberley.

She enjoyed life as a resident of Garden View and finally, the Pines Special Care home. She passed away here, surrounded by her family, on Saturday, January 4, 2014 at the age of 102 and a half.

Ph: 250.426.6006 Fx: 250.426.6005 2104D 2nd Street S. Cranbrook, BC theďŹ&#x201A;owerpot@shaw.ca

Flo was predeceased by her husband, John, her daughter, Alleyne Sutcliffe, her siblings, DA Morrison, Marg Wilson, Iris Neeve Scott, JD Morrison, Allan Morrison and generations of friends.

She is lovingly survived by daughters Myra Farquhar and Isabel (Mike) Pepler and son, John (Diane) McGillivray. Her legacy also includes 8 grandchildren: Rob (Marianne), Patricia (Dwayne), Janet (Owen), Grant (Helen), Colleen (Jared), David, Monica and Lorena (Rob); 8 great-grandchildren: Brendan, Stefan, Arielle, Haylie, Katie, Kyle, Brayden and LeiLani; sister-in-law Jeannie Morrison and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Flo was very lucky to enjoy a long life doing the things she loved to do. She was an active member of the Eastern Star in BC and Alberta for over 84 years and was granted lifetime membership in both provinces.

She also received a life membership in the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ambulance Association and she was a longtime member of the United Church of Canada. Flo always enjoyed a social occasion and had gone out for lunch the week before she passed.

Floâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at the Pines for their love and support. Memorial donations may be made to the Pines Memorial Fund: 386 - 2nd Ave., Kimberley, BC V1A 2Z8.

A memorial service to honour Flo will be held on Thursday, January 9th at 2:00 pm at the Kimberley United Church with a reception to follow in the Upper Hall.

You will always be missed Nana and we will love you forever. Cheers!

Your community foundation.

We build endowment funds that benefit the community forever and help create personal legacies Investing in community for good and forever.
