but now they have alcohol sales booths all over the place, which many people were taking full advantage of. <br /> In the brochures it states that the <a href="https://challengermap.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Challenger Map</a>, is in the Forum building, but in reality only a very small portion of it is displayed of the Lower Mainland; would be nice one day to actually be able to see the entire map rebuilt again in one place.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUKMM2HPHB_ocMqM7gLVjJEnKDUpmsaFXSZ23gnsyo4UxF720U5g4HbKpTcGhJiW75stXSxS4g90YUurpuxEwoUNuKDpMBKPMf0p78aDRYak_YXMG0iCTd2B6NHOXIBrdGbWqRm_TYAxMEyjI2kbZt_68Wla9AtbTtRXI5BKKaSL-65UD_F3cZgA9q/s2657/P1070745.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

She had acquired pneumonia, during radiation treatments, and as per her wishes, as the agony increased she refused the treatments being given to her. I was the last family member to see her alive, I had left the hospital at 10pm, lights out time; she was peaceful, but breathing rapidly and laboriously, which was probably putting great strain on her heart.<br />

Dora trying mate, for the first time in 2011</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
She was orphaned, when young, with two other siblings Marie Bernadette Duggan, and Kevin Clarke; they will carry on life with the memory of Dora.<br /><br />She married Andrew Erskine-Shaw, and had me, and then Nicholas "Nick". Sadly Andrew was killed in a car accident, which left Dora with two young boys to take care of; later she re-married to Brian Williams, they had two children, Jenny Williams, who died at age three of a faulty heart, and David who lives in the Slocan Valley.<br />
<br />
Last October she moved into an apartment, and she was complaining then of a problem with her hip, it took numerous visits to the doctors, and the hospital, and numerous miss-diagnosis before she was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which had migrated to her hip. Her hip was rebuilt, and one kidney was removed, and further tests were done, culminating with the cancer being found in other parts of her body, and so a week of intensive radiation was prescribed, with more than a month of chemotherapy. Sadly the stress of all the radiation, and chemo lowered her resistance, and she caught pneumonia, which was not picked up by the medical staff in a timely manner, until we had to call an ambulance, when she was taken to Eagle Ridge Hospital, where the diagnosis of pneumonia was given, she rallied for a while, but lost her will to live a few days prior to her demise, just so much drugs, and poking, and prodding, and pain to deal with.<br />
<br />
So hopefully she is at peace, and with her daughter Jenny, and her first husband, and true love Andrew.<br />
<br />
Rest in Peace MOM<br />

<br />
Just a simple search of the DFO libraries, <a href="http://waves-vagues.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/waves-vagues/" target="_blank">WAVES catalogue</a>, shows up its shortcomings; some books are under copyright, but many that should, and could be digitized are not, it has been a HUGE shortcoming in the library for many years. Another frequent issue with digital copies is the quality of them is frequently just terrible. Digitization of the textural portions is okay, but any pictures, maps, etc, can, and frequently are missing the fine details, which are so important. As the catalogue database is called in French "Vagues" also appears to be an apt term to use in English.<br />
<br />
Another vast catalogue is <a href="http://geoscan.ess.nrcan.gc.ca/starweb/geoscan/servlet.starweb?path=geoscan/geoscan_e.web" target="_blank">Geoscan</a>, which is everything geological, mapping,, It has been interesting to follow their long path at digitizing; have a peek at the most recent uploads <a href="http://geoscan.nrcan.gc.ca/rss/newpub_e.rss" target="_blank">HERE</a>, rather obvious by following the recent uploads that the focus is on the search for hydrocarbons, and secondarily the relentless search for economic minerals in the far north. <br />
<br />
It will be interesting to see if they attempt to destroy the National Research Council, <a href="http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/publications/nsl/index.html" target="_blank">(NRC) library</a><br />
Since that is an eclectic mix of many disciplines, some that would be contrary to the present federal unspoken mandates.<br />
<br />
A resource that I frequently use is the BC Environment Ministries;<br /> <a href="http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/clir/" target="_blank">Cross-Linked Information Resources, (CLIR)</a> catalogue; often wondered why they need a catalogue for themselves and one for the public though, what do they have to hide? Many files can be found digitized here, that the DFO lists, but has not digitized themselves. As usual the quality is variable, usually favoring poor.<br />
<br />
<br />
As usual it takes a volunteer organization to get the job done correctly, the <a href="https://archive.org/details/texts" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>, has many copies of mostly older materials, and some of them are not the best quality. But if you know how to use it, the Internet Archive, just shines ☼ I will give an example below:<br />
<br /><a href="https://archive.org/details/cihm_99199" target="_blank">Re-settlement and cultivation of land in British Columbia</a> [microform] : an address delivered before St. John's Literary Society, Vancouver, British Columbia, January 12th, 1915 (1915)<br /><br />

The file with the ending of <b>jp2.zip</b> is actually a page by page photo file, which has been zipped; and is a copy of what was donated to the Internet Archive, by the donor. Download these files, unzip them, and you will have a folder with each page of the text as an image. These<b> jp2</b> photos, can really show up how terrible PDF files are at degrading the originals. <br />
<br />
I use <a href="http://www.irfanview.com/" target="_blank">Irfanview</a> (FREE) to read them, it can convert them to other formats as needed. And a WARNING, these images can be quite large, but they are definitely much more readable, and hence useful.<br />
