The family of Don Spooner would like to express their deepest gratitude for all the support of family and friends at his sudden passing. To everyone who brought food to our home, helped with preparing the lunch for his celebration of life, visited us, called to offer condolences and help in anyway, we thank you. We will be forever grateful for all your support. To my children and grandchildren for being there for me every step of the way.
Ashcroft & District Employment Services FLIP A MENTAL SWITCH Most of us react to change negatively. That’s normal but not helpful. But there is a technique that works. When change comes, flip a mental switch and greet it favourably, even if you don’t believe yourself. Make it a personal rule to step forward automatically into inevitable change – almost like a game where the challenge is to find the good in what first appears to be bad. You’ll be surprised how often it works in your favour.

Barriere woman killed in accidental shooting ID’d Barriere was in the news last week with RCMP responding to two gun incidents, one of them fatal. On Feb. 20 at approximately 3:40 pm, the Barriere RCMP were contacted by BC Ambulance Services (BCAS) to assist with a call of an accidental shooting at a residence near Barriere. Carol Ann SANDERCOTT, 61, of Barriere, B.C. was transported by BCAS to the Barriere Health Center and was pronounced deceased by the attending physician. The South East District Major Crime Unit, Kamloops Forensic Identification Section, and BC Coroner Service are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding her death. No arrests have been made. The second incident occured on Feb. 18 at approximately 11:30 pm when members of the Barriere RCMP received a report of a domestic assault between a common law couple at a residence located within the District of Barriere. Upon their arrival in the area, a
woman was located at a neighbour’s residence with minor injuries and was removed from the area by police to ensure her safety. Two Barriere RCMP members then went to the woman’s residence in an attempt to locate the male suspect and have him exit the residence. Members entered the home and conducted a search for the male and located him in the garage area. The members observed the male with a bolt action rifle in his hands and the male refused to comply with police instructions to drop the weapon. Concerned for their safety and that of the male suspect, the RCMP members repositioned outside the residence, established a security perimeter and requested the assistance of additional police officers from the surrounding area and from the SouthEast District Emergency Response Team. A further perimeter was set up and residents of the immediate area were evacuated for their safety. Many other residents outside the immediate
area were requested to stay inside their homes. Members of the Southeast District Emergency Response Team and of the Lower Mainland Emergancy Response Team maintained security for public safety while providing assistance to the Southeast District Negotiation Team. The Southeast District Negotiation Team continued discussions with the male overnight and after over 29 hours the male subject exited the garage and was taken into custody without incident. Members located a loaded .270 high powered hunting rifle in the residence along with a .22 caliber rifle and two bows and arrows. The 43-yearold man, who was allegedly in breach of release conditions preventing him from being in the residence, is currently in custody at the Barriere RCMP Detachment. Police are continuing their investigation. There were no children involved in the incident. The man’s name is not being released to protect the identify of the woman.
