Local Woman Raises Butterflies.

From George Mathewson, The Sarnia Journal.

“See the black spots,” says Rose Tanner, holding a monarch butterfly gently between two fingers.

“That’s a male.”

Identity confirmed, it dances away from her hand, rises above the backyard of her Sarnia home and rejoins the free insect world once more.

For the past 18 years Tanner has been raising butterflies, mostly monarchs but also black swallowtails, red admirals and cabbage whites.

“I just love them, and I’ve always loved them since I was a girl,” she says. “Some people have computers. I have bugs.”

Shirley has over 30 years of experience in such diverse businesses as financial planning, manufacturing, and supply. Her education includes a B.A., B.ED., M.ED., C.F.P., N.L.P. and the home inspector’s course as well as having her AZ license for five years. Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
