Wildfire officials will be keeping a close watch on the forests following a thunderstorm that launched more than 5,000 lightning strikes in the Kamloops Fire Centre.

Most of the strikes took place in the Kamloops and Salmon Arm Fire zones, says Kelsey Winter, fire information officer with the Min-

istry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations’ BC Wildfire Service.

Fortunately, the storm that swept through Monday evening was accompanied by substantial rain – 11.8 millimetres were recorded at a station in Salmon Arm and 12.6 were measured at a station closer to Turtle Valley.

“We will have to see what pops up, but it’s better to have rain,” said

Winter of the possibility lightning hold-overs will emerge over the coming days or weeks.

Lightning ignited a fire in a stand of trees behind GM Motors.

Fire chief Brad Shirley says Hall 2 responded to a report of a tree on fire at 9:30 p.m. June 29.

Firefighters managed to keep flames out of other trees and, after dousing the fire, discovered it was the result of a lightning strike.

Computer glitch delays CSRD tax notices

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

It was corruption that derailed 12,500 rural property taxes.

“A p p r o x i m a t e l y 12,500 rural property tax notices were automatically aborted due to a corrupt character in the printing file,” reads a June 26 email from the Ministry of Finance.

“New tax notices

with an extended deadline are currently being mailed out and taxpayers will receive them shortly.”

The system error affected property owners in Area C South Shuswap, Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/Ranchero, Area E rural Sicamous and Area F North Shuswap.

The payment deadline has been extended to 38 days

from the date of issue.

The same extension will be granted to these taxpayers for homeowner-grant applications.

Affected taxpayers will not be subject to a late payment penalty if they pay their property taxes by the extended deadline.

In rural areas, tax payments must be received or postmarked on or before the due

date to be considered on time.

Those who are unable to pay their taxes in full should still claim their homeowner grant and see if they qualify to defer their taxes.

Rural property taxes are payable through financial institutions, through a mortgage agreement, at Service BC offices and by mail or courier.

“With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed aggressive behaviour and have required additional firefighting resources,” reads a June 30 BC Wildfire release.

“Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires.”

In addition to campfires, this prohibition applies to open fires of any size, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns

and burning barrels. But the prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid fuel or gas fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres.

While the provincial ban applies only to BC Parks, Crown land and private lands, Shirley says the Salmon Arm Fire Department will apply the provisions of the ban to the same extent as the province on lands within Salmon Arm municipal boundaries.

Trans-Canada: Latest design calls for two roundabouts.

By Barb Brouwer

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) revealed the latest $120 million plans for upgrading the Trans Canada Highway west of Salmon Arm last Wednesday at the Prestige Harbourfront Resort.

The project will begin with pre-loading the site of a new elevated bridge, which will be built north of the current highway and connect back to the current highway at 10th Street SW, says project manager Dave Shibata.

“We’re still waiting for the geotechnical report,” said Shibata Friday. “We suspect it will be soft soil, so it will have be pre-loaded and that can take anywhere from 10 to 20 months.”

Shibata says pre-loading will begin in 2016 and once the site is suitable for bridge construction, projects will be tendered through BC Bids. The first part of the project includes the replacement of the Salmon River Bridge, addition of a frontage road to Salmon River Road via two roundabouts – one on either side of the highway – and frontage roads connecting Pedro’s and

EVAN BUHLER/MARKET NEWS

Transit expansion faces challenges

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

The prospect of getting more bus service in Salmon Arm in the near future doesn’t look promising, but that doesn’t mean the city should not request an increase.

Ryan Little, regional manager for BC Transit, addressed city council’s June 8 meeting where he said transit funding levels are forecast to “remain relatively flat” over the next three years, which includes this year.

He was responding to a question from Coun.

Ken Jamieson who noted council has heard there will be a threeyear funding freeze.

In previous years, funding has increased annually.

“As you know, the provincial budget is approved annually but it’s a three-year plan,” Little said, suggesting if the city has a request it should fine-tune it with the city’s director of engineering, Rob Niewenhuizen, and then send it to the provincial government.

“The likelihood (of more funding) wasn’t as great as in prior years, but it’s still only determined on an an-

nual basis.”

He said in his opinion, although BC Transit receives lots of requests for expanded service, there is careful balancing between what is affordable and what is requested.

City council was presented with a petition in April from more than 250 citizens asking that busing hours be increased to 9 p.m. on weekdays and service be provided on Sunday.

“There is insufficient busing hours for the amount of residents, especially seniors and people with disabilities who have no other means aside from the city bus to get around in our community,” the petition read.

Louise Wallace Richmond asked if BC Transit would get the petition. Niewenhuizen said the information could be passed along when council makes its request.

Coun. Kevin Flynn suggested that representatives of the industrial park make a presentation to council.

“Anybody who wants transit improvements (should present to council), make sure we’re on the same page.”

Coun. Chad Elia-

n Some Shuswap citizens would like to see increased bus service, but BC Transit funding levels are forecast to remain flat for the near future. son encouraged the college students who were involved in circulating the petition to also present to council.

He would like to see a collaboration between those who own buses.

“I’d like to see a hybrid version of transit buses – the school district’s buses, Interior Health’s buses...”

Little said the city funds about 45 per cent of the total cost of running the transit system,

with the net municipal share $508,000 in the 2015/16 fiscal year.

Shuswap Transit provides 113,900 passenger trips per year and 9.6 trips per service hour with eight buses on eight routes, Little said.

He also told council that BC Transit just held its annual workshop in Harrison Hot Springs and will have another next year in Whistler.

Positive approach to pot distribution

Regardless of where one stands on the marijuanalegalization debate, it is simply irrefutable that the City of Vancouver’s decision to regulate its burgeoning medical-marijuana dispensary business is positive.

There are about 100 storefront marijuana dispensaries operating in Vancouver and they exist because the police in that city have taken a stance to concentrate on real crime, rather than spend precious time seeking to shut down the stores.

By seeking to regulate the stores — not the product sold — the City of Vancouver wants to ensure regulation is strict and that locations are away from schools, community centres and other marijuana dispensaries.

With a permit fee of $30,000, Vancouver is ensuring it is more difficult, not easier, for such businesses to operate in the city.

Compare the city’s rational response to the fact marijuana is on its way to being decriminalized or legalized to the sad histrionic viewpoint of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose, whose ridiculous warnings would be more at home in a Reefer Madness script.

Like her Conservative peers. Ambrose sticks to the failed war-on-pot stance that has done nothing but make gangsters rich and give regular people criminal records.

Ambrose opposed Vancouver’s plan to regulate its medical-marijuana dispensary business, noting marijuana is illegal and claiming such regulation will increase pot use and addiction.

Of course, Ambrose is wrong.

Regulation and the stiff permit fee that will accompany it will likely result in fewer medical marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, so Ambrose’s fear of skyrocketing addiction rates will probably not come to fruition.

Speaking of addiction, has Ambrose perused the latest statistics on death and damage that results from legal alcohol?

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

Understanding invasive species The other day I saw about half a dozen birds sitting in the branches of an apple tree outside my front window.

I’d never seen them before, and haven’t seen them since. They looked like some sort of dove. Probably just passing through. I’ll have to look them up in one of my bird books.

Wildlife species have been dispersing and redispersing themselves throughout the world for millions of years. The only real difference between socalled “historical” introduction of species, and those which have taken place in the past couple of hundred years, is the rate and scale with which they have taken place. So when wildlife biologists and other experts use words like alien, exotic and invasive to describe plant and animal species that have been introduced into new or “non-indigenous” environments, it is as much a question of semantics as anything else.

Before human travel became widespread, plants and animals arrived on foreign shores mostly by

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray chance. In some instances they swam across oceans, migrated across continents, drifted on air and water currents or hitched rides with other travellers.

Here is where semantics come in. Plant and animal species that arrive and establish themselves in an ecosystem where they did not evolve are described as “alien.” Once established beyond the initial point of introduction, they are then considered “naturalized” components of their new environment. An alien species is considered “invasive” when and if it displaces native species. The invasive species tend to reproduce quickly, spread rapidly and

compete aggressively with indigenous species, in large part, because there are usually few or no indigenous species that can or will predate on the new arrivals.

However, these so-called alien/invasive species did not actually sit down and plot out any sort of intentional invasion of their new home and surroundings.

They simply, one day, found themselves there and then proceeded to go about the mundane business of surviving and reproducing.

Words like ‘alien’ and ‘invasive,’ not to mention ‘naturalized,’ ‘indigenous’ and ‘non-indigenous’ are human words used to describe processes which affect human habitat and environments – and human economies.

Not too long ago the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations proposed a culling of wolves in several regions of the province. At the time, the government said the proposed changes (to legislation) were meant to help cattlemen protect their herds from predation

by wolves.

The question here is just who is the invasive species?

The cattle ranchers, who have expanded their grazing territory into timbered Crown lands, simply wanted to protect their profits and were able to put pressure on the provincial government to introduce the cull. Once again, the reason was purely political.

Expecting wolves not to predate on cattle grazing in their backyard is sort of like cooking up a pot roast for Sunday supper, setting it on the kitchen table to cool, telling the dog not to touch it and then leaving the room.

What you have with both the wolf cull and the pot roast situations is a lack of reasoning coupled with not enough understanding, combined with a degree of stupidity, added to a natural instinct to eat food that’s sitting right there in front of you – all with various amounts of self-interest and self-preservation mixed into the equation.

It’s a good thing we’ve got politicians to figure these sort of situation out.

Respect our water sources GAIA GARDENING Margo Westaway

It’s always early when I drop my hubby off at the airport in Kelowna, so I took my usual time getting home so that I could spend time poking around new places and enjoy the Okanagan Valley.

The air was already warm enough for a swim after having my breakfast in Winfield, so I stopped at the empty beach in Oyama and had a dip in the glassy-calm lake. But I wasn’t there alone. A man in a small boat and an osprey were fishing nearby, ducks were cruising the shorelines, swallows were making quick dives to scoop up a little water to drink and dragonflies were darting about all around me.

After treating myself to some fresh cherries at Gatzke’s Farmers Market, I continued along lovely Kalamalka Lake (which means ‘lake of many colours’) and decided to snoop out the Sparkling Hill Resort that our friends keep talking about and where Sir Anthony Hopkins stayed while he was making his movie in Enderby. That windy road offered the

2 79 7

singing of meadowlarks and scenes of green pastures full of grazing cattle and horses, with a deer in the distance, the occasional farm house, small ponds full of bull rushes and buzzing insects and a large water reclamation pond for the now very large Predator Ridge Golf Course development that I had to drive through to get there.

After that was another quick stop to see the Allan Brooks Nature Centre where gopher, snake and marmot signs were posted along the gravel road, a rest at the river in Enderby and another splash in Mara Lake to cool off again in the afternoon heat.

Water is everywhere in the Okanagan and Shuswap valleys, but it should never be taken for granted that lakes and rivers will always be clean and full today and into the future.

El Niño and La Niña are both terms referring to large-scale changes in sea-surface temperatures across the central and eastern tropical Pacific and created by very complex dynamics that are still not fully understood today.

An El Niño event happens when the tropical trade winds die out and ocean temperatures become unusually warm and unstable. On the flip side is La Niña, which occurs when the winds blow unusually hard and the sea temperature becomes colder than normal. They usually last around nine to 12 months, occur ev-

Water is everywhere in the Okanagan and Shuswap valleys, but it should never be taken for granted that lakes and rivers will always be clean... mer – particularly in the Prairies – but also an extreme forest fire season and possible crop losses. This will also make it even worse for California.

Water scarcity has already hit many places in all three western provinces due to low snow packs and little rainfall, but this is only just the beginning of it.

The low water levels in our lakes, rivers and underground aquifers will not only affect people, but also all the other micro and macro life forms that depend on it just as much as we do.

We will all need to do our best to conserve

and properly utilize the water, so we farmers, gardeners and homeowners can do our part by using mulches, watering with the proper amounts and at the right times, making sure our sprinklers are hitting the lawn and not the road and even changing our plants to suit a nowdryer climate. Also keep in mind the fertilizers and ‘cides’ we use end up as ‘nutrients’ in our groundwater and lakes, creating pollution problems and bad algae blooms.

As I took in the expansive views of the Okanagan Lake from the deck of that fancy resort, I saw new housing developments being carved out of the mountains in all directions, further increasing the demands on the water supply.

It really struck me then that this precious resource is not only vital for survival to us and so many other life forms in this beautiful pocket of British Columbia – but how much quality it adds to our life with all the wonderful food, flowers and beverages we can produce here, the way we can play, the livelihoods it supports and the breathtaking views it offers.

Water – waste not, want not as they say.

We need to respect it and protect it to not only continue enjoying this amazing lifestyle we have here, but because so many creatures depend on it just to live.

In Area C there has been substantial discussion about the desirability and feasibility of building a new community cultural and recreational centre.

Across Canada there are many communities with smaller populations that have recreational and/or cultural centres, so the question that emerges is, “… why not us?”

To skate, play hockey/soccer/volleyball/ ringette, or to just have a swim, residents of Area C must drive to other centres along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Young families who are considering mov-

of any grants received there will be increased costs for the local taxpayers to absorb.

It all boils down to the balance of costs versus benefits for the residents of Area C. What are the recreational and cultural activities, if any, that you would like to be able to participate in, and what are you willing to spend, if anything, to enjoy that participation?

These are the key questions to address, but there are also many layers of complexity to consider.

To start off the research on this initiative, a questionnaire has been developed for the residents of Area C. Completing the survey will take only about 15 minutes of your time, and we would ask that only one survey be completed per household.

All responses are anonymous and your identity is not noted in

ing to our area may find that this requirement is less than ideal, and as a result, may decide to locate elsewhere.

Others who live here may decide that the drive in the dead of winter just isn’t worth it, so they miss out on opportunities to socialize, catch a show or stay in shape.

There’s no doubt that recreational facilities contribute to the health and wellness of their communities and help to enhance the quality of life for all residents.

These facilities also provide a central gathering point and a source of pride for many communities.

A major concern with building this type of infrastructure is cost, including both capital construction costs as well as ongoing operating costs.

There are opportunities to win grants from the provincial and federal governments to support the capital costs, but regardless

Canadian government has plan to reduce emissions, grow economy

FROM THE HILL Colin Mayes On May 15, the Government of Canada announced its plan to reduce greenhouse gas

(GHG) emissions to 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Minister of the Environment Leona Aglukkaq also said that new regulatory measures will be developed in a responsible sector-by-sector approach to build on successes in GHG reductions to date.

In 2013, Canada’s GHG emissions were 3.1 per cent lower than 2005 levels while the economy grew by 12.9

per cent over the same period. Now that our government has demonstrated that it is possible to reduce GHGs while growing Canada’s economy, we have made this commitment to continue the important work of reducing GHGs while driving the economy forward.

In 2012, Canada was the first major coal user to ban the construction of traditional coalfired electricity genera-

tion. Coal is the largest source of GHG in the world. Canada represents less than two per cent of all global carbon emissions and in comparison, the U.S. coal sector alone produces more GHGs than all of Canada.

Through investments in research and the introduction of stricter emission guidelines, Canada is a leader in clean electrical generation with 79 per cent

of Canada’s electricity being produced emission free.

In the transportation sector, our government has invested in public transit in our cities and has set fuel efficiency targets for our auto industry, which has led to better fuel mileage in newer vehicles. Likewise, Canada’s rail and commercial transport truck operators have also improved the fuel efficiency of the loco-

motives and tractors that they use to reduce emissions.

The May 15 announcement referred to as a Nationally Determined Contribution has also been formally submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Our government is working with stakeholders in various sectors to meet our targets and achieve results

Put your green thumb to work without a sore back Weed out injuries while gardening

(NC) Gardening has grown into one of Canada’s most popular activities in recent years as a growing number of us discover the pleasures and rewards of a beautiful landscape. But exercising your green thumb does come with some risks.

A day of digging, weeding and watering can also lead to injury when proper safety precautions are not followed.

Here are some steps to help prevent and treat common gardening injuries: Protect Yourself • Safety goggles and gloves shield eyes and skin from chemicals and pesticides and protect from sharp or motorized equipment.

tools with rubber handles and ergonomic designs.

Tools with offset handles make digging and weeding easier. Keep tools maintained as sharp, clean tools work better and require less effort. Handle extenders and reachers can help reduce the need for bending, reaching and stretching.

Treating common injuries Even when following these precautions gardeners can still feel back and knee pain, bumps, bruises, scrapes and bites during long days of tending to their backyard haven. So it’s a good idea to keep a summer essentials first aid

kit on hand to treat common injuries when gardening and for outdoor family activities:

a non-greasy and parabenfree gel that relieves itching and promotes the healing of insect bites.

• At the first sign of pain or bruising look to a homeopathic topical medicine such as Arnicare gel or cream to help relieve muscle and joint pain and ease resorption of swelling and bruising. Try it for neck, back, shoulder and leg muscle pain, swelling from injuries, and bruising.

• Don’t let seasonal allergies dampen your love for flowers. A non-drowsy and antihistamine-free medicine, such as Sabalia, can help relieve seasonal allergy symptoms. Keep in mind, these homeopathic medicines may not be right for everyone, always read and follow the label. By following a few precautions, you can make this gardening season a safe and pleasant one. More information on treating pain related to gardening can be found at www.boiron.ca.

• For skin irritations, Cicadermine, a homeopathic ointment can help relieve redness and facilitate healing.

• For stings and bug bites, try Dapis gel for relief. It’s

• Several hours spent in the sun can lead to sunburn and increased chances of skin cancer. Choose a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher and seek a shade break between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Police talk man from bridge A 22-year-old man was arrested on Monday after spending the night on the underside of the Pritchard Bridge.

Const.

Jonathan Spooner said the incident began on Sunday when a Chase RCMP officer called out to the man on a beach on the north side of the river.

The man was wanted

on several warrants.

“The man ran to the river and climbed onto the pilings, making his way to the centre span of the bridge, about 30 feet above the fast-running water,” Spooner said in statement.

Police stayed with the man, who was sitting amid the bridge’s pilings, overnight and

Islamic State no existential threat to the West GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer Last Friday, in France, an Islamist named Yahya Salhi killed his employer, Herve Cornara. He attached the victim’s severed head to the fence around a chemical plant, together with a cloth saying, “There is no God but God and Muhammad is his prophet.”

Sahli then rammed his vehicle into a warehouse full of chemicals hoping –but failing – to cause a massive explosion.

In Kuwait two hours later, Fahd Suleiman Abdulmohsen al-Qaba’a, a Saudi citizen, entered a Shia mosque and detonated

a bomb that killed at least 25 people. He was presumably a Sunni fanatic sent by ‘Islamic State’ to kill Shias, who they believe are heretics who should be killed.

In Tunisia one hour later, 38 European tourists, most of them British, were massacred by a 23-year-old man with a Kalashnikov on a beach in Sousse. The perpetrator, Seifeddine Rezgui, was studying engineering at a university in Kairouan, an hour’s drive west of Sousse.

Islamic State, which has carved out a territory in Iraq and Syria that has more people and a bigger army than half the members of the United Nations, immediately claimed responsibility for all three attacks. Yahya Salhi may have been a lone-wolf head case, but in the other two cases the claim was almost certainly true.

But there was anoth-

er attack that you probably didn’t hear about.

Kobani, the Kurdish town in northern Syria that withstood a four-month siege by Islamic State troops last year, came under attack again last Thursday. About a hundred young Islamists in Humvees and pickup trucks drove into town and shot 220 people dead in the streets and in their houses.

So 64 murders that you heard a lot about, and 220 others you heard little or nothing about. There are hundreds of innocent people being murdered

by Islamist fanatics in Syria every week, so it’s no longer news.

Besides, the motive there is obvious: it’s just Islamic State trying to expand its territory in Syria. But as for the others....

Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron, responded to the deaths of 30 British citizens in Tunisia by

trotting out the same shopworn drivel that Western leaders have been peddling for the past 14 years. The fight against Islamic State is “the struggle of our generation,” Cameron declared. Indeed, IS poses “an existential threat” to the West.

Maybe Cameron doesn’t know what the word “existential” means. Could somebody please explain to him that he is saying that Islamic State poses a threat to the continued existence of the West? Does he really think that is the case?

Forgive me for making a cold-blooded calculation, but sometimes it is necessary.

The population of the West (not counting the countries of Latin America, which don’t play in this league) is about 900 million.

Thirty-nine “Westerners” have been killed in attacks by Islamist terrorists this month.

At this rate, the West

will have ceased to exist in 1.9 million years.

If this is an existential threat, it’s not a very urgent one.

In fact, it’s not really about the West at all.

The European victims on the beach in Sousse were killed in order to destroy the tourism that provides almost 15 percent of Tunisia’s national income, and thereby destabilize the only fully democratic country in the Arab world. The extremists’ real goal is to seize power in Tunisia; the Western victims were just a means to that end.

The bombing of a Shia mosque in Kuwait was intended to increase tensions between the Sunni majority and the large Shia minority in that country, with the ultimate goal of unleashing a Sunni-Shia civil war in which Islamist extremists could take over the Sunni side as they have already done in Syria

and Iraq.

Only the lone-wolf attack in France could be conceivably be seen as directed at the “West” – although that might also have been just a personal grievance wrapped up in an Islamist justification.

The rest of the killing was about who controls the Muslim countries, particularly in the Middle East, as it has been from the start. Even 9/11 was about that, designed not to “bring America to its knees,” but to lure it into an invasion of Afghanistan that Osama bin Laden believed would stimulate Islamist revolutions in Muslim countries.

The Islamists do “hate Western values,” but they have bigger fish to fry at home.

Islamic State and the various incarnations of Al Qaeda (the Nusra Front in Syria, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, etc,) pose an existential threat to

the non-Sunni Muslim minorities of the Middle East, and even to Sunni Muslims whose beliefs diverge significantly from those of the Islamists. The West should help governments in the region that protect their minorities, and of course it should try to protect its own people.

But this is not the “struggle of our generation” for the West.

It should be nowhere near the top of its own list of priorities.

Sicamous Business Directory

With summer upon us, the itch to get outdoors becomes difficult to ignore.

Our family likes to make time each summer for a few camping trips. Since we have a toddler I like to make sure we are organized with food.

I plan simple meals and prepare food before we go. I try to use certain foods in multiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt, and bread, to save space in the cooler.

Of course we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether it’s making s’mores or passing around a bag of chips.

But, like at home, I think it is important that most of our food be nutritious.

Here are some foods that are often found in our camping cooler: Prepare in advance: · Make and freeze whole-grain muffins, pancakes, or loaves.

KRAGH-HANSEN, GUNNAR Born in Horsens, Denmark on Aug 5, 1920, he died in Salmon Arm on June 22, 2015 at the age of 94 years.

Gunnar immigrated to Canada in 1965 and worked in the construction industry. He is survived by his longtime companion Gertrude Aiple, her children, and grandchildren, and his son Ulrich (Ruth) in Denmark.

Thank you to Shuswap Lake General Hospital ER staff, Dr. Grant McCallum and Fischer’s Funeral Services for their compassionate care.

Gunnar wished to be cremated and return to his homeland. He did not want a memorial service.

Email condolences and share memories through Gunnar’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices. com. (250) 833-1129.

Experience Makes a Difference

We accept all Memorial Society and Pre-Need Funeral Policies Making final arrangements for a loved one isn’t easy.

That’s why compassion goes into everything we do. We are prepared to arrange any special request you may have.

• Traditional Services • Cremation Services • Prearrangement Planning • All Inquiries Welcome

With great sadness we accept the passing of our wonderful mother, Barbara Ellen Bruce (nee Spencer). Barbara’s peaceful, final moments were lovingly attended by both her children. She spent her final seven months in the care of the professional staff at Bastion Place, Salmon Arm. There truly are angels who walk amongst us. Barbara was 94 years old and suffered with Parkinson’s disease.

Predeceased by her three sisters Louise Newbury, Trudy Felton and Ann Williamson as well as her brother John Spencer, Barbara will be lovingly remembered by her Son, Andrew Bruce, his wife Jody Bruce, and granddaughter Ginger Bruce of Kelowna, as well as Barbara’s daughter, Kathleen Bruce of Sorrento. She leaves behind Brother, Victor Spencer of West Vancouver, Sister, Diana Dyer of Ottawa, several nieces, nephews and many friends - notably, Dr. Kristen Kornienko, whose compassionate care enabled Mom to stay at home as long as possible.

Barbara was an academic who appreciated music, visual arts, history, literature and journalism.

Mom was accepted to study piano at the Royal Conservatory of Music in London, but could not attend due to the outbreak of the Second World War. She took English classes at Radcliff/ Harvard for two years plus a summer, and completed her degree at UBC at home in Vancouver. She was assistant city editor of the Vancouver Sun News Paper during the war and a member of the Canadian Women’s Press Club. Post war, Barbara went to the interior of BC to act as managing director for one of her father’s cattle ranches, the Circle S Cattle Company, Dog Creek. There she met and married our dad, Lawrence Bruce (predeceased 2008) They ranched in Pritchard, BC before moving to Kelowna to raise their family.

Barbara was a life time member of the Canadian Hereford Association, a member of the Beef Cattle Growers’ Association, as well as former Director of the Cariboo Cattlemen’s Association, Williams Lake. She was nominated as a Member of the Senate of the University of British Columbia for years 1963 – 1966.

Surprisingly shy and reclusive, Barbara was compassionate, empathetic, loving and strong.

She abhorred cruelty, stood up for what she believed in and spoke her mind. She had terrific courage and faith.

Mom’s departure from this life has left a hollow place in ours but our hearts are full of beautiful memories.

We give thanks for her loving, knowledgeable influence and guidance, and we accept with joyous gratitude, Mom’s blessed release to a higher existence.

Private, family internment. Friends and family celebration of life to be held in Kelowna at a later, as yet undetermined, date.
