With more than a centu-ry’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 en-tered into a strategic partner-ship in May 2005, when West-ern 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 broker-ages 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 po-sitions.

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

POLAR VORTEX? WHAT POLAR VORTEX? While humanity curses and grumbles in the thrall of the polar vortex, the canine world counts its blessings one by one. It’s not so cold that dogs Duppy and Baloo can’t rejoice at reaching the top of Eager Hill east of Cranbrook, and looking out over the winter world which surely belongs to them!

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 lev-els 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 del-egation from the Canadian Cancer Society in Cranbrook council Monday. Patti King, Canadian Cancer Society health promotion team lead-er, 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.

Western also served as the title sponsor for the inaugural Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo last September.

Pete Stefano, senior vice president, corpo-rate with Falkins, said that Western’s commu-nity involvement ap-pealed to Falkins.

“Their values are similar to ours. They are very strong com-munity supporters,” said Stefano. “That’s important to us and important to our cus-tomers. 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 cus-tomers will notice a dif-ference. Western Fi-nancial is known for its great customer service, and I think the same could be said for Falk-ins. 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, re-locating 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 custom-ers in western Canada. It was founded in 1996 and is based out of High River, Alberta. Western has more than 160 locations and affili-ates and about 1,800 employees.

“We are thrilled to have finalized our own-ership position and of-ficially welcome the Falkins team to the growing Western Fi-nancial Group of com-panies,” said Jeff Burke,

To w n s m a n s Ta f fA protest will be

held later this month outside Superstore in Cranbrook.

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

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

Lochrie is appealing to Superstore manage-ment to stop selling At-lantic farmed salmon at its stores.

“The boycott will be a further show to re-quest that net-pen farmed salmon, other-wise known as Atlantic farmed salmon, be re-moved from their cool-ers over health con-cerns,” she said.

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

Boycotts will take place outside Super-stores throughout B.C. and in Atlantic Canada.

“People are con-cerned, not only about what the open-net feedlot aquaculture in-dustry is doing to the marine environment and wild salmon, but also the potential harm to human health, espe-cially children and pregnant mothers,” said Lochrie.

For more informa-tion on the Cranbrook farmed salmon boy-cott, contact Audry Lochrie: [email protected] or 250-444-7077.

Western Financial completes acquisition of Falkins Insurance

president and CEO of Western Financial Group. “This acquisi-tion is a major milestone in Western’s history and allows us to increase our presence in British Co-

lumbia, offering more choice to our existing and potential custom-ers.”

Stefano said Western will bring new options to Falkins customers.

“Western’s large net-work provides our cus-tomers with more op-tions, and their commit-ment 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 se-lection of insurance products and banking services.”

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 can-cer, it’s just one of those things,” he said. “But I found out the levels that radon are allowed cre-ate 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 Cas-tlegar 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 put-ting 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 man-aged 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 pro-posed a building bylaw that was rejected by the

ministry, that required new homes to have the standpipe in the base-ment 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 founda-tion, the Donna Schmidt Memorial Lung Cancer Preven-tion Society, donates long-term radon detec-tors to households and businesses in the West Kootenay. Schmidt hopes to soon distrib-ute the detectors out of Cranbrook as well. They suggest a $15 do-nation.

Tow n s m a n s Ta f fCranbrook residents

are being invited to take part in a province-wide consultation on issues facing people with dis-abilities.

There is an online discussion going on right now at www.en-gage.gov.bc.ca/disabil-

itywhitepaper/.There were also be

an in-person consulta-tion session in Cran-brook on Feb. 18. Any-one interested can reg-ister on the website.

“It is really import-ant to get the perspec-tive of all people with disabilities, as well as

B.C. talks about issues facing people with disabilities

their family, friends and communities,” said Carla Qualtrough, human rights lawyer, two-time Paralympian and chair of the Minis-ter’s Council on Em-ployment and Accessi-bility. “We want to hear from everyone who has something to contrib-ute to enrich the dis-cussion 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 com-munity to dispel some of the myths that may be holding businesses back from hiring people with disabilities,” said Tamara Vrooman, pres-ident 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 peo-ple with disabilities.”

Feedback from the consultation will in-form the development of a white paper, a doc-ument 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 lead-ers to develop strategies and actions for address-ing the issues facing people with disabilities in British Columbia.C a n a d i a n P r e s s

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The Interior Health au-thority 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 Prai-ries.

Senior medical offi-cer 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 Saskatche-wan and 10 people in Alberta is also making

its presence felt in southwestern B.C.

Two separate health authorities in the Metro Vancouver have report-ed that more than 20 people have been hos-pitalized 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 be-cause the supply is tight.

“Some hae meat and canna eat,

But we hae meat and we can eat,

And sae the Lord be thankit.”

The immortal words of the poet Robbie Burns, whose existence and work will be cele-brated in January at two different Robbie Burns Nights. Although being thankful for haggis may be a stretch for some, the evenings offer many other delights as well.

T imes change. Seasons change and the calen-dar rolls over into a

new year. But I find it hearten-ing to know human nature seems to continue to offer the full gamut of behaviours — from highs to lows.

Already in 2014, we are see-ing entertaining news stories developing.

The first big story of the year is without a doubt the re-cord cold snap hitting much of Canada, and many parts of the U.S. which don’t normally have to deal with extreme cold. It’s big news, but those of us like my-self who were raised in the north, where -40 and below is fairly common in the winter, watch with smug enjoyment as others attempt to cope.

One person who couldn’t cope was 42-year old Kentucki-an Robert Vick. It seems Vick had escaped from a minimum security facility in Lexington on Sunday. But alas, freezing tem-peratures made escaping not quite the holiday Vick thought it would be. He turned himself in. Yup, declaring it too cold for an escape, Vick called the po-lice and told them to come and get him. He was dressed in prison-issue pants, shirt and jacket when he escaped. Ap-parently Kentucky was not pre-pared for dressing its prisoners for cold-weather escapes. I’m sure a benevolent society somewhere is planning a cam-paign to address this inade-quacy.

In other interesting news this week a Pastafarian was sworn into town council in Dunkirk, New York wearing a colander on his head. It’s the truth, there’s even a photo. Now, it’s caused quite a kerfuf-fle as you can imagine. But Christopher Shaffer says that he intends to do a good job as a councillor and religion shouldn’t matter.

Pastafarians have their own religion, the Church of the Flying Spaghet-ti Monster. Its followers be-lieve that the universe was

created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster, and that their theory makes as much sense as does intelligent design. Anyhoo, score one for religious freedom as a Pastafarian enters politics. I like to see progress like that.

And just as a Pastafarian en-ters the political arena, a Klin-gon leaves. A North Carolina town councilman planning to run for U.S. Congress has quit his post by submitting a resig-nation letter in Klingon, the language of a fictional extrater-restrial warrior species on the “Star Trek” TV and film series. David Wadell said he used Klingon to resign from the In-dian Trail Town Council be-cause the Klingons value integ-rity, honour and duty.

Last year we began to see a fashion trend – the return of the onesie. We can all be tod-dlers again and curl up of an evening to watch TV in our comfie onesies. Are they pret-ty? No. But apparently they are

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 sim-ply slid safely down one leg and remained contained until hos-pital staff undid the onesie. Lifesaving pajamas. Nice.

Also in the UK this past weekend, a pilot says his Air-bus 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 instru-ments 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 fran-chise. No word on whether the rest of the funeral procession followed.

Now lest you think England has the market on weird be-haviour covered, I not only refer to Vick, Robert above, but to a man in Mooroopna, north-ern 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 delight-ful 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?

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports 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 Kim-berley 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 Dy-namiters, 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 ex-change for Schacher.

“We are happy to add a player of Isaac’s stat-ure 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 im-portant to add a big de-fender 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 con-cussions in consecutive seasons.

Victoria also swung a a big deal on Monday, picking up Chicago Blackhawks draft pick Travis Brown in ex-change for Noah Gre-gor, two third-round picks and a conditional pick. Brown is a de-fenceman and a fourth-round selection in the 2012 NHL Draft.

Team Canada roster unveiled for Sochi GamesC ANADIAN PRESS

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 predict-ably there was still plenty of debate over who made it and who didn’t.

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 direc-tor 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 tourna-ment’s first two games with Carey Price.

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

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

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

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

Other newcomers chosen by Yzerman and his management team include forwards Kunitz and Matt Duchene and defencemen Jay Bouw-meester, Alex Pietran-gelo and P.K. Subban, who was the subject of much debate leading up to Tuesday’s an-nouncement.

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

Team Canada is hop-ing to cash in on Kunitz’s natural chem-istry 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 play-er and ultimately, we asked ourselves, does he belong on this team? And the answer is yes.”

St. Louis, snubbed in 2010 by Yzerman, was cut again this time around. Joe Thornton,

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

Lightning forward Stamkos’ status for the tournament is unclear as he continues to re-cover from a broken leg. Yzerman said his rehab is going well.

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.

Lindsey Vonn out of Sochi Games with knee injury

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

Her personal publicist, Lewis Kay, says in a state-ment 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 ski-ing.

But Vonn tore two ligaments in her right knee during a high-speed crash at the world champion-ships 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 Ste-phen 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 lock-er-room bullying scandal that drew national scruti-ny. The NFL has yet to release a report on its inves-tigation into the case.

Lionel Messi cleared to play after 2-month injury layo�

BARCELONA, Spain - Lionel Messi is set to re-turn 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 ham-string 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 Ma-drid.

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 match-es of the season.

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 be-hind 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 in-dependently and not in unison with a project. Keeping every-one 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 dif-ficult. 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 week-end, and make plans now! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll want to get more infor-mation about an important situation. You might ask a ques-tion 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

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 situ-ation 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 outra-geous. Tonight: Visit with a close loved one.

Dear Annie: I’m an identical twin and will be turning 56 in February, but my sister be-haves 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 confron-tational. 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 mon-ey, 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 mir-ror 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 wom-en 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 hus-bands) 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 or-der 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 every-one 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 “Uncom-fortable,” whose new mother-in-law wants her to call her “Mom.” I had a similar prob-lem 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 re-sponded 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 per-son 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 “oth-er daughter.” I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I hope this helps “Uncom-fortable” refer to her mother-in-law in a less awkward way. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ROBERTSON, MARILEE ANNMay 12, 1944 - January 3, 2014

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 couldn’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. The link to their website is http://friendsofchildren.ca/east-kootenay-supporters/

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 ‘new’ 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.

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. John’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.

Flo’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!
