Legacy plans set On Wednesday the planning committee for the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Commemoration Project announced a series of events and initiatives that will take place in April and May to commemorate and create awareness and recognition of the residential school experience in the Cariboo.

The project aims to encourage, support and engage in a shared First Nations and non-First Nations dialogue on how to achieve reconciliation and support efforts by all those affected by the legacy of this residential school as they continue on their personal healing journey.

Two monuments will be unveiled — one at the St. Joseph Mission site and one in Boitanio Park.

A panel discussion with residential school survivors will take place at WLSS, April 26 at 9 a.m.

SINGING FOR A FRIEND LOST

Beautiful stone bench a tribute to Rayel MacDonald Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a beautiful stone bench in a community garden now commemorates the tragic death of 20-year-old nursing student Rayel MacDonald.

Last Saturday Rayel’s family, surrounded by friends and community members, gathered for a service at the site where she was killed while walking across Carson Drive with a group of friends in the early morning of April 22, 2012.

Her family unveiled a memorial bench created in Squamish by a mason named Moses.

The bench contains three seats.

Each seat is engraved with messages. One from each of Rayel’s sisters, Rilla and Olivia. The third one has a line from a song.

Two large rocks, originally from the Squamish area, are anchored between the three seating slabs.

Family friend Dr. Doug Neufeld, who was MC for the event, said a year before Rayel’s death the students at Williams Lake Secondary School chose Memory Garden as the

name for the garden.

After Rayel’s death, the food policy council, who had organized the garden, welcomed the MacDonalds and the memorial bench project with open arms.

“It was a perfect blending of time,” Neufeld said. “It gave us something to focus on for family and friends, and something to work on to remember Rayel.”

Support from the food policy council, the city, that owns the land, city staff and local contractors ensured completion of the project in time for the anniversary.

“There were also donations through the food policy council from family and the friends of Rayel and the TRU nursing group. The biggest contributor by far to the memorial is actually Penelope, Olivia’s pig,” Neufeld explained.

Through the Williams Lake 4H Show and Sale held in August, the sale and resale of Penelope generated thousands of dollars, he added.

Family, friends, and the RCMP also came out to do some work on the garden itself.

“I certainly encourage people in

Rayel’s memory and other kids’ memories to come out and help to make it a success for our community.”

The location of the memorial bench strategically remembers Rayel.

“If you look around, that’s where Rayel was born, Jan. 7, 1992 at Cariboo Memorial Hospital. The memo-

rial faces where Rayel was brought up in Big Lake.

“I didn’t believe Andrea when she said it faced Big Lake, but then when I thought about it realized when you drive to Big Lake you drive south and then up and back.

NEWS SD 27 shuffles staff positions

ARCHEOLOGY OR BUST

Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer In mid-March School District 27 announced that Columneetza Secondary principal Gregg Gaylord would become principal of the new amalgamated middle/ secondary school in Williams Lake.

Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools will be operated as one school on two campuses starting in September. The Columneetza campus will be predominantly for grades 7 to 9 and WLSS will be predominantly for grades 10 to 12.

This week Superintendent Mark Thiessen announced several finalized appointments related to the new secondary school model.

WLSS principal Silvia Dubray will become principal at Nesika Elementary School.

Ken Lucks, acting principal at Columneetza, will be the new viceprincipal at WLSS. Curt Levens remains as vice-principal at WLSS. Cataline elementary principal Mike Grace will become vice-principal at Columneetza.

Nesika Elementary principal Grant Gustafson will become vice-principal at Columneetza.

All of these individuals have served the district in administrative positions for a number of years and will be missed by students, staff, and parents with whom they have connected in their current positions, Thies-

sen says.

“I want to thank each of them for all they have done for students in their current schools and their willingness to continue to serve the students in their new schools,” Thiessen says.

Other administrative appointments are expected to be announced later this week, Thiessen said.

Thiessen also announced Tuesday that the contest for naming the new combined secondary school closed last week with a long list of suggested names that will be reviewed by a sub-committee of community members, teachers and students to create a short list of names that will be submitted to the board for a final decision.

Future plans for memory garden include archway Continued From Page A1 “It actually does.”

Williams Lake Secondary School is directly above, where Rayel went to school, made a lot of friends, played rugby on the fields, and graduated.

At the time of her death she had completed her second year of the nursing program at TRU and had done her clinical at the hospital.

“Part of the way I knew Rayel, aside from through my children, was watching her evolve as a nurse. I’d see her and bug her in the hospital. She was involved with patients I work with,” Neufeld said.

Sadly, he added, the spot marks the place where Rayel died.

“It’s a difficult one, but it brings everything together. It marks where she died, but also where she lived.”

“Hopefully this is the first of many events,” Neufeld said.

Future plans for the site include an archway to the entrance.

After MacDonald’s death, Martin William Gentles, then 27 years old, was charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm. On June 27, 2012 the charges were stayed in Williams Lake Provincial Court pending further investigation.

Criminal Justice Branch spoksperson Neil MacKenzie confirmed the Crown is in the process of completing the charges assessment file.

“I cannot say when the process will be completed, but there has been some communication back and forth between the Crown and the RCMP about the case.”

Neufeld said when the court proceedings are over, there is a plan to put up a plaque.

“We need to protect her rights through the court process. She still has rights that persons

are dealt with.”

He also encouraged the community to continue supporting the family.

“Don’t be afraid to talk about Rayel with them. They want you

to,” he said.

MacDonald’s friend and fellow nursing student Alysha Mullett was seriously injured at the scene, but said Saturday she’s recovering physically, has continued

some nursing courses through correspondence, and will be taking a practicum soon.

The bench honours all young people who have died, Neufeld told the crowd.

NEWS

Independent: Bob Simpson Cariboo North candidate Bob Simpson was reelected as the MLA for Cariboo North on May 12, 2009.

He was first elected to the B.C. Legislature in 2005, and he began sitting as an Independent MLA in December of 2010.

Born in Scotland, Simpson’s family immigrated to Winnipeg, Man. 1967.

He moved to British Columbia in 1974 when he joined the Canadian Navy. He has two undergraduate degrees and a teaching certificate from the University of Victoria.

Simpson is married to Trish (née Havens)

whose family has lived in Quesnel since 1964.

Bob and Trish moved to Quesnel in 1985 to teach, Bob at Quesnel Secondary School and Trish at Dragon Lake elementary.

Bob became science department head at QSS before leaving to start his own businesses.

While he was teaching, Bob wrote a weekly column on sustainability issues for the Cariboo Observer, developed a Grade 11 and Grade 12 forestry course, and designed an innovative selfdirected study program for high-achieving stu-

Bob Simpson

dents in Grade 11.

He also helped to set up what is now known as the Fraser Basin Council.

After teaching, Bob ran a successful consulting business in the areas of community, business, and

human resource development. He also founded a training company that specialized in helping people to start their own businesses; many of those people are still successfully running their business today.

In the mid-1990s, Bob dabbled in retail in Quesnel. He opened Fundamentals, The Learning Support Store, a toy, games, puzzles and teaching supply store. Together with a business partner, he purchased a downtown Quesnel shoe store.

In 1996, Bob joined Weldwood of Canada and eventually became

the company’s corporate manager for organizational effectiveness and leadership development.

His main responsibilities with Weldwood were to develop the company’s technical and supervisory training systems, ensure capital investments were maximized through appropriate training and team-based management systems, and assist the company to successfully implement companywide change initiatives.

In 2004, Bob decided to enter politics due to his increasing concern that we were living unsustainably and his belief that

the hyper-politicization of our representative system was undermining our ability to make meaningful decisions for the long term.

While in opposition, Bob became a high-profile critic for forestry and, following the 2009 election, aboriginal relations and reconciliation.

In 2010, Bob was ejected from the NDP caucus for writing two sentences in his weekly column about a speech that the NDP leader had given to the Union of BC Municipalities. He then made the decision to leave the political party system

altogether and has been sitting as an independent ever since.

Bob is a vocal advocate for electoral and democratic reform and, along with B.C.’s other Independent MLAs, he has presented an agenda for reform that would go a long way toward revitalizing B.C.’s democratic system.

Bob is a former national triathlon champion in his age group and was named BC’s Male Triathlete of the Year in 2002.

He is also an avid cyclist, runner, sailor and kayaker.

New Democratic Party: Duncan Barnett Cariboo North candidate My name is Duncan Barnett. I am applying for the job of MLA for Cariboo North.

I’m running with the NDP because I believe we can do better in this province — in terms of how we treat people, how we manage our economy, and how we care for our environment. It’s time for a change in B.C. My wife Jane and I live at Miocene on the Horsefly Road in the family home I helped build as a teenager, where we have raised our three daughters Lindsay, Heather and

Kate.

We own and operate a ranching business in the Miocene/Horsefly area.

My family has a strong background in the Cariboo.

My grandfather worked in the sawmill and lumber business and my father was a provincial court judge in Williams Lake and Quesnel.

My mother was a teacher and counselling psychologist in the school district. My wife is a social worker. I have worked in the region for much of my life — from the bunkhouse to the

I believe in the abundance of the North Cariboo, of its people and its resources.

My family moved here during the great depression of the 1930s and our story has been one of hard work, one step in front of the other, generation and generation, to make this community successively better for the next generation. I have always loved to hear the story of our family moving to the North Cariboo to carve out their new lives.

My family was very proud when I had the opportunity to attend and graduate university with a Bachelor’s Degree in

Political Science.

This education has provided me with an amazing job, which I have had the great privilege to work at for 14 years, as the manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Quesnel. This job has provided me with leadership opportunities in our community and provincially representing small business and tourism.

I have also had the honour to serve Quesnel as a city councillor for six years. I am 40 years old with no children. Most of my family lives in Cariboo North.

This election campaign is an exciting time

boardroom. Before going to university and getting a degree in agricultural economics, I explored the province and worked in almost all our natural resource sectors, includ-

ing commercial fishing, logging, sawmills, guide outfitting, oil and gas drilling, and ranching.

I began working in the Cariboo as a professional agrologist in the early 1990s and worked for Ducks Unlimited and the Fraser Basin Council.

I was involved with treaty negotiations and took a position as manager of Aboriginal Affairs with the Cariboo Lumber Manufacturers’ Association.

I was a Cariboo Regional District director for the Horsefly, Likely, Big

Lake, 150 Mile and Williams Lake Fringe area from 2000 until 2010. My experience taught me the importance of working with a team to get things done to build our communities. I worked hard with other board members to make improvements to our recreation facilities, develop the Central Cariboo engineered landfill at Gibralter Mine, and to provide support for rural communities with community halls, fire departments, and libraries. We created policies for the development of agricul-

tural land and initiatives to help producers deal with the BSE crisis and invasive plants.

We ensured that residential development respected our lakes, rivers and streams.

I successfully encouraged the CRD board to move into new areas such as economic development, heritage, and arts and culture.

I was taught that giving back to my community is important.

I have been a 4H leader and served on my community association. I

have also been active on several provincial industry and professional organizations which has provided me with experience and insight into natural resource legislation, regulation and policy.

My ties to the Cariboo, my experience in resource industries, and my determination to make things better in our communities will make me an effective MLA. I will work hard as part of a new NDP government to bring the change we need in the Cariboo.

bringing our rural voice to the table.

I have strong relations with all levels of government which is important to move important projects forward.

I am a fiscal conservative who believes we should be controlling spending and working towards a debt free B.C. I believe leadership is about making difficult decisions and often having to say no.

In the BC Liberal platform, we are recognizing the critical role rural B.C. plays in generating wealth and economic opportunity for the province and will start revenue

sharing discussions with rural resource communities. I believe good paying jobs are the key to our economic success and to our future. I support more opportunities for young people to begin skills and trades training in high school.

I will be a champion for the diversification of our economy and attraction of investment, whether it be supporting our small businesses, agriculture, sunrise forestry opportunities, tourism, or mining and green technology.

A modern knowledge, resource and gateway economy, requires state of the art communication

infrastructure. We must address cellular phone coverage and broadband requirements. I am a strong advocate for quality health care and addressing the needs of seniors.

City proposes lowest tax increase in years Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake city council gave the first three readings to its 2013 -2017 financial plan at the April 23 regular council meeting.

Adoption of the fiveyear financial plan must take place before council can pass its annual tax bylaw and set its tax rate.

Council is proposing a 1.97 per cent tax revenue increase, which if adopted will be the lowest increase since 2005.

The rate will translate into a residential increase of $15.33 per $100,000 of assessment, $20 for business, and $1,597 for industry.

Property tax distribution will remain the same in 2013 as it was in 2012.

Residential will contribute 38 per cent, business 25 per cent, industry is 22 per cent, and the remainder by other classes.

There will also be no changes to water and sewer fees. They have remained the same since 2010.

The airport is self-sustaining and is kept separate from the budget.

had a great time cheering on our local competitors at the Indoor Rodeo Saturday, along with the sold-out crowd. We also had a visit from Miss Rodeo Canada Gillian Shields. A big thank you to all of the sponsors and volunteers who put in the hard work to make this such a successful community event.

I am pleased that we have reached a fire protection agreement with the Cariboo Regional District. It means certainty for both From the r u r a l fringe Mayor’s and City Chair residents, Kerry Cook and it means the city has important financial stability for an additional five years.

My thanks to council for seeing these negotiations through and enabling us to reach this agreement. I’m looking forward to working with the CRD in continuing to serve our communities going forward.

An open house Monday night on the proposed community forest application to be put forward by the city and Williams Lake Indian Band hosted by the Fraser Basin Council was very well attended by over 100 people. The purpose was to provide information on the application and receive recommendations from the public. It was a very respectful and productive meeting. It was clear there was a lot of passion and frustration around this issue. I look forward to the report summarizing all of the recommendations we received.

Council unanimously gave first three readings to the 2013 budget and five-year financial plan Tuesday. This is a $32.5 million budget, with $12.9 million in capital projects and $18.8 million in operating costs.

South Lakeside will be repaved with no long-term borrowing, and we have kept the tax revenue increase to 1.97 per cent, the lowest increase since 2005. Since then, tax rate increases have been between three per cent and four per cent. We changed the process for this budget by planning earlier, building a provisional budget last fall from department business plans and council’s strategic priorities. By starting the process earlier, we were able to have public input opportunities early on, and collect more overall input. We are continuing to plan strategically, and to put money into capital reserves.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

The world is on watch Many around the world breathed a sigh of relief last Friday when a second Boston Marathon bombing suspect was arrested, following the death of the first in a fire fight with police hours before.

“The terror is over,” Boston police tweeted following the arrest, yet another sign of the times in a case in which speed of reporting by mainstream media and the spread of information through social media reached a dizzying velocity.

Sober reflection may finally result in a recognition of the risks of media letting speed trump accuracy — particularly among some mainstream news-gathering organizations that should have known better.

But as media began to paint the picture of two alienated immigrant brothers from Chechnya, harbouring unspecified grudges against the U.S., the case immediately began to assume more manageable dimensions. As deadly as it had been — the final tally including three initial bombing victims and a police officer killed, not to mention scores of marathon spectators injured April 15, a robbery and hostage taking, and the death of one of the alleged perpetrators — it was still somehow easier to get one’s head around than if it had all remained a mysterious terrorist plot.

The terror isn’t over, of course — evidenced by the announced arrests in Canada this week of two men accused of plotting to derail a Toronto-New York passenger train — just one particular terror. And as the world comes to grips with the realization that the bombers’ motives may never fully be known, what is evident from the Boston case is that we already live in a very different world from the one temporarily paralyzed by the events of 9-11.

The startling tempo of today’s media, whether mainstream or amateur, is in direct proportion with people’s hunger for the truth. Today’s audience, the marathon bombing shows, is far more wary and skeptical — and less likely to passively accept officially sanctioned reports and platitudes.

There are many, Boston has also shown, who want to help in times of emergency. And is it just optimism, or could it be that there has been a slight increase in transparency, as authorities and the media have come to realize, that the people themselves — many of them armed as never before with picture-taking capability, can be an important part of the information and evidence-gathering chain?

he race is on, and there goes — the incumbent MLAs, Cariboo-South, Donna Barnett and Cariboo North, Bob Simpson; both are on the track in the quest for re-election and because of that, where you would normally be reading what one or the other of them had to say in this space — in the quest to maintain political correctness — you have Cattle Fodder instead.

For perspective, I recall an anecdote my younger brother once related to me, of a chance Cattle meeting Fodder (in the Liz Twan street) with an old friend of his, unseen and unspoken to in years.

After an exchange of general greetings, my brother jumped in with, “So, how’s the wife?”

The curt reply, “We’re divorced.”

After a long silence and with a wrong foot already firmly wedged, my brother gently inquired, “So — is that a good thing, or a bad thing?”

And, in both election matters, Tribune reader opinion — the vote is also still out with the outcome yet to be decided. The results hinge on the popular-choice of the general electorate and in the opinion of general readership (Tribune) to be determined over the coming days and weeks.

Other similarities are shared by politicians and newspaper journalists/columnists; both have to be assured (or brave) enough to state their position (on current issues, government policy, other concerns) publicly, on record, both tough enough to accept (and handle) any criticism and dissent.

Some of which is constructive and listened to when calmly and politely verbalized (written) but, alternatively can be just nasty and uninformed. So much so that one must develop (it takes time) a little thicker skin or the innate ability to let yucky-stuff roll off your back, making the truly ugly stuff less likely to leave a life-altering scar.

Sometimes it’s a lot easier just to blend in and be one of the herd!

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Concerns not laid to rest Editor: After attending the April 9 city council meeting my concerns regarding the new branding for Williams Lake have not been laid to rest.

The audience was reassured that there was an in depth public consultation process. The marketing company came to Williams Lake, talked to the people, read reports, formed a committee, constructed a website … basically they did their due diligence.

A plan was presented to council at a Committee of the Whole meeting where they recommended it be approved. Shortly after the branding domain name www.republicoflife.ca was in fact being used to link to the city’s website.

It seems the process left out the public consultation where they get feedback, tweak it and then present a publicly endorsed plan to

council for vote and then implement after approval.

But yes we are told they did present it to the public … in the Lower Mainland, in Calgary and who knows where else.

I find it appalling that these people who don’t live here who don’t know Williams Lake are approving our brand.

After overwhelming outrage by the citizens of Williams Lake we are now being told the concept that was recommended to be approved at the Committee of the Whole and was supposed to be voted on at council April 9 was not really the finished product.

I question the protocol of council voting on a concept that was not final. I am also mystified why the public were not informed of the website that was implemented to keep the citizens informed and gather feedback.

A perusal of the city websites

shows nothing of the branding in their news feed nor could I find any link to direct citizens to the branding website.

When one visits www.mywilliamslake.placebrand.ca it is clear that the informing ended last July 21 … and it wasn’t until citizen outrage that another update was added on April 9.

So at this point do I feel confident that the new motion to present the latest brand presentation to the public will be in a spirit to gather feedback to maybe tweak to something we all can be proud of?

Not one bit, especially when I hear comments that those that are not happy with it are too old, negative, look at life as a glass half empty, or somehow just not intelligent enough to get it.

Kim Herdman Williams Lake

New company seems to have cash Editor: The “Concerned Citizens” website, advertised in the Tribune, admits they’re connected to Premier Christy Clark with a “past professional relationship with the current premier.”

I wonder where a new company like this gets big bucks to buy fullpage political advertising, for some pretty nasty attack ads, so close to election time.

(Advertisement, Tribune, April 4, page A13).

Roses: A very sincere thank you to Jason Martin and his assistant coaches Ryan Bailey and Gord Chipman for volunteering to coach the Purple Panthers through the 2012/13 Minor Hockey Season.

We appreciate your time and expertise in teaching and guiding the team through a fun year.

We could see the difference as the year progressed in both their learning new skills and playing as a team.

Good work and hope to see you all next year.

I’m also a bit curious about the Trib’s new, big-business columnist, Jim Shepard (found in the Tribune Weekend paper’s news section, the next day on April 5, page A5.)

Is Mr. Shepard really a retired oil company director, who still can’t get enough oil?

In future, could the Tribune please identify these opinion pieces as opinions, or place them on the editorial pages where they belong.

Also, could the Tribune please clarify whether this opinion writer is the same Jim Shepard who is lead-

Greater sharing advocated for community forest plan Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer

interested in participating in the management of the North block because it is closest to them, not the areas closer to the 150 Mile House or Sugar Cane, or the South block.

Zirnhelt also said frustration felt by people in the rural communities comes from the past four meetings they’ve had with the proponents.

“We still didn’t address the core issues,” Zirnhelt said. “We want to discuss governance, area and financial benefits.”

Cecil Morhart from Horsefly said five per cent of the net profits going to rural communities is not enough.

“I don’t think the city and band should get 95 per cent. That’s not a community forest endeavour.”

When asked Cook said: “tens of thousands” has been spent on the application process so far.

If the community forest loses money, Cook said the legal partners would take the hit.

“Obviously that’s not something we would like to happen,” Cook added.

Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said the proponents know there are outstanding issues and questions that the rural communities want answered and addressed.

“We want you to know that we will take consideration of everything raised this evening,” Louie said.

A summary from the meeting will go to the residents who attended the meeting, the proponents, and the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Wallin said.

There were repeated requests for rural community representation on the proposed Williams Lake community forest’s board of directors during a public meeting held at 150 Mile House Monday evening.

About 100 people gathered at the 150 Mile House Fire Hall to discuss the community forest agreement proposed by the City of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band.

Gail Wallin from the Fraser Basin Council facilitated the meeting and insisted people make specific suggestions and recommendations.

Presently there are six members on the board, three appointed by the band and three by the city.

Mayor Kerry Cook said the city and band have established a legal partnership that is at arms length from the proponents.

“The directors are responsible for the administration and management of the community forest application, which includes approving budgets, establishing policies and operating procedures.”

A community council or community resource board would also be established as a forum for ongoing and meaningful dialogue with communities.

“The idea of creating such a council or board was made in response to feedback we received at the community meeting in November 2011. This is something we’ve add-

ed to the application,” Cook said.

Ken Day, forester and manager of the application process, said the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Management Plan will continue to apply in the area and will be the “mainstay of the management plan.”

Some residents advocated improved safety standards for logging roads, and that local contractors would have logging and salvage opportunities in the forest.

A retired forester, involved with community forests in the Cariboo Chilcotin, said the total annual allowable cut of 40,000 cubic metres for the CFA’s two blocks is too “little to go around.”

Joan Sorley, Cariboo Regional District Big Lake/Horsefly/Likely area director, suggested the terms of reference for a community council or a community resource board need to be enshrined in the CFA application so communities know how they will be represented.

Jack Darney, Big Lake Community Association president, said the council needs to be linked to the board so it has some meaningful direction.

Another person suggested the community council needs to have a 33 per cent share of the partnership.

Amy Sandy from the Williams Lake band said there has to be expertise in land management on the council and that youth should be represented.

Sam Zirnhelt from Big Lake said the communities of Big Lake, Miocene and Horsefly are

Locals show fine form at Indoor rodeo Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo was any indication, Williams Lake and area cowboys and cowgirls are primed for a B.C. Rodeo Association season filled with successes.

Multiple local cowboys and cowgirls made their marks in multiple events last weekend at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex — the first rodeo of the BCRA season — bringing home accolades and cash, along with putting themselves in great positions to kick off the BRCA schedule.

Additionally, local bull riders dominated the leaderboard in their event with Ryan Jasper (Riske Creek), Evan Fuller (Riske Creek) and Colton Manuel (150 Mile House), taking home a large chunk of the prize money.

Alkali Lake’s Devon Robbins took the nod in the junior steer riding event with a 75-point ride to bring home $275.40. Fourth place went to 150 Mile House’s Blaine Manuel (71 points, $81), while Alexis Creek’s Reagan Charleyboy and Hanceville’s Ty Myers tied for sixth (64 points, $40.50).

Gun show first in Williams Lake since 1985 There were all sorts of interesting old and new guns and related hunting items on display at the gun show over the weekend.

Some collectors were were a little gun shy about giving their names when talking about their collections for fear of being robbed. Part of this collection included a Russian army rifle from the Second World War (right), a machete in a fancy leather scabbard, a double-edged knife in a uniquely carved round case, and a sword with a leather-bound handle.

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association Gun Show certainly gave a bang for its buck.

Terry Chupa, president of the WLSA, said 330 people attended the show held Saturday and Sunday at the WLSA clubhouse on Bond Lake Road.

The gun show was the first of its kind in Williams Lake since 1985, Chupa said.

“Al Bush from Chilcotin Guns and Moe Monita, vice-president of the WLSA, were instrumental in making the gun show a huge success,” Chupa said.

He added numerous other volunteers helped make the event possible.

“I’d just like to thank the numerous volunteers and the people who came out to sup-

port this event,” Chupa said.

The WLSA is now set to host an upcoming adult shoot May 18 at

the WLSA range.

Following that, the WLSA hosts an InterAgency Shoot June 9, featuring an accuracy

shooting competition between the RCMP, conservation officers, sheriffs and extreme practical shooters.

The Williams Lake Off Road Motorcycle Association is hosting a movie night this Friday, April 26 at the Gibraltar Room.

The WLORMA, who host the annual Dirty

Knobby and Overlander Cross Country Race, invite anyone interested to attend the showing of Nitro Circus 3D and more.

Nitro Circus 3D features Travis Pastrana

and friends’ insane antics, which combines stunts and action sports, for an all-out wild film.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and admission is free with the purchase of a

2013 club membership.

Individual memberships are $20, family memberships are $25.

Admission to Nitro Circus 3D is $5 per person without a membership.

BIG SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF OUR FANTASTIC VOLUNTEERS Big Brothers & Big Sisters provides services to children in Williams Lake due to the dedication of many, many vounteers in their varied capacities such as: Big Brothers, Big Sisters, In School Mentors, Directors, Event Assistants, Purple Bin Pick-up

Board of Directors

LARGEST MENTORING STUDY EVER IN CANADA KEY FINDINGS

Joyce Chesley • John Hack Hugh Armstrong • Shelley Desautels Am Sajan • Juliana Lam • Daana Gilpin Cheri Wiebe • Thomas Foley Tanya Iachetta • Nick Iachetta

• Girls with a Big Sister are two and a half times more likely than girls without a mentor to be confident in their ability to be successful at school.

• Boys with a Big Brother are three times less likely than boys without a mentor to suffer peer pressure related anxiety, such as worrying about what other children think or say about them.

• Mentored boys are two times more likely to believe that school is fun and that doing well academically is important.

• Mentored boys are also two times less likely than non-mentored boys to develop negative conducts like bullying, fighting, lying, cheating, losing their temper or expressing anger.

WE BELIEVE IN THE VALUE AND VALUES OF MENTORING

CHANGING YOUNG LIVES CAN CHANGE LIFE IN OUR COMMUNITIES TOO. Helping children reach their full potential can lead to positive community outcomes like a reduction in poverty and unemployment, safer schools and neighbourhoods, and a new generation of civic-minded adults.

Support the children of Williams Lake by recycling your soft goods to the Purple Bins located at Safeway, Surplus Herby’s, Canadian Tire and the Share Shed.

START SOMETHING TODAY Volunteering is one way. A gift of money is another.

Either way, you could be starting something big. Find out more at: www.bbswlake.com

sports Minor fastball teams hit Kiwanis Saturday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association is throwing heat, hosting two exhibition games this weekend in Williams Lake at Kiwanis Park.

At noon the Williams

Lake Peewees take on 100 Mile House.

Following that, at 1:30 p.m., the Williams Lake Bantams hit the diamond to play the 100 Mile House Bantam Rep club.

Michele Tenning, president of the WLMFA, said the associa-

tion will still be accepting registration for the upcoming season at the games.

Players hoping to form this year’s bantam rep squad will be in action at Kiwanis Park.

“We’ve got about 110 kids registered so

far,” Tenning said.

“But we’re hoping to get a few more kids for the older divisions.”

The Williams Lake Bantam Rep under 14 Loons finished second last year at the B.C. Provincial ‘C’ Minor Fastball Championships in Clearwater.

No team from Williams Lake had participated in a provincial championship since 2000 when Williams Lake hosted the tournament at the Dave Means Ballpark.

“That means it’s mandatory for us to move up to the ‘B’ di-

vision this year,” Tenning said.

Additionally, a bantam boys team is being put together for next year’s 2014 B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo.

“Most people still don’t know we’re still playing ball,” Tenning

said, who encourages anyone interested to come out to Kiwanis Park Saturday to watch.

The WLMFA league games begin next Tuesday, April 30 at the Esler Sports Complex’s Dave Means Ball Park.

Local youth archers take gold, bronze, at B.C. Junior Olympic Archery Championships Two Cariboo youth archers were firing on all cylinders April 1314 in Prince George at the B.C. Junior Olympic Archery Program Championships.

Williams Lake’s Cameron Brockel and Breanne Carlson finished with a bronze medal and a gold medal, respectively, at the competition.

Brockel’s bronze came in the hotly contested Cadet Compound Class while Carlson posted top scores for her medal in the Junior Compound Class.

Cariboo Archer and multi-time Canadian National Champion Al Campsall is the team’s coach.

Campsall recently learned from Archery Canada he’d set a new Canadian record for indoor target archery at the B.C. Indoor Championships March 30-31 in Cranbrook.

The Cariboo Archers in Williams Lake are now preparing to host their annual Outdoor 3D Shoot May 11-12 at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association clubhouse on Bond Lake Road.

Earth Month …act for the planet!

April is the perfect time to get the whole family involved with celebrating Earth Day all month long

Earth Month…Act for the planet!

FortisBC supports the environment in both operations and services offered

By Tom Loski Earth Day is celebrated annually April 22 with events held across the globe to demonstrate support for protecting the environment. FortisBC recognizes that sound environmental practices make good business sense and that’s why the company is committed to delivering safe, reliable energy in an environmentally responsible way to all of the communities we serve.

We look for ways to support the environment in our operations and with services that we provide to our customers.

One simple way customers can help the environment is to consider our paperless billing option, a fast and simple way to save paper and ultimately our forests.

When customers go paperless, their bill is delivered directly to their email address as a PDF file attached to the email. The eBill service is a fast, easy and environmentally friendly way for customers to access both their electricity and natural gas bill.

Another simple way customers can look at reducing their carbon footprint is through rebates and financial incentives offered as part of our PowerSense and Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs. .

Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012. The PowerSense programs helps customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both

financial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices.

In 2012, FortisBC’s natural gas Energy Efficiency and Conservation programs helped residential, commercial and industrial customers save more than 360,000 gigajoules of natural gas, enough energy to heat some 4,100 homes in one year.

Renewable natural gas is a B.C.made, carbon neutral energy source. The methane gas used to produce renewable natural gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms.

Instead of escaping into the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, it’s captured, cleaned and added to our pipeline, giving our customers a renewable energy source.

For about $5 more per month on their natural gas bill, customers can designate 10 per cent of their natural gas use as renewable. We’ll then inject an equivalent amount into our system.

To date, more than 60 businesses and close to 3,800 residential customers have signed up to be part of the renewable natural gas program.

Helping customers conserve energy is one of the most cost effective ways for us to meet future needs. And by making thoughtful energy choices — whether it’s switching to paperless billing, installing energy efficient lighting or upgrading to a high-efficiency natural gas furnace — you’re supporting the environment.

Tom Loski is the vice president of customer service at FortisBC.

Facts about the Planet Earth Earth is the only planet we know of in our solar system that humans can live on. No other planet has oceans, other life forms, and enough oxygen to comfortably breathe. Because we have so much water, Earth is called the Blue Planet. From space the oceans combined with the atmosphere makes the planet look blue.

New cookbook shines light on lakecity cultural diversity Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer It’s a cookbook but more than a cookbook. It is a cookbook with fascinating stories about people from around the world, people who are our neighbours and friends right here in Williams Lake.

Spicing Up the Cariboo, Characters, Cultures and Cuisines of the Cariboo Chilcotin will be launched with a book signing at the Seniors Activity Centre Saturday evening, April 27 from 7 to 9 p.m.

It will be a momentous coming together of people and cultures.

The book started with an idea to promote multiculturalism in the community and raise the level of understanding about the many diverse cultural backgrounds of people living in the region.

Its writers, Margaret-Anne Enders, Marilyn Livingston, and Tom Salley with Bettina Schoen providing inspirational direction are all social support workers with the Williams Lake branch of Canadian Mental Health.

They sent out word in the community a year ago that they wanted to create a cookbook featuring recipes from various cultures, along with personal stories about people and their heritage.

The writers were given the green light by CMHA and a small grant from the Central Cariboo arts and Culture Society (city/CRD cultural program), says Shoen, CMHA’s multiculturalism program manager, who inspired the idea for the book.

Lakecity authors Christian Petersen and Sage Birchwater soon got on board to provide advice and support and before long Caitlin Press had adopted the project, raising the level of the production from a home grown to world class.

Time to put on your parade entry thinking caps.

Fun N’ Games is the theme for this year’s Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade, says Erik Zwiers, one of five parade marshalls organizing the event this year.

Marilyn Livingston (left), Margaret-Anne Enders, Bettina Schoen, and Tom Salley are excited about the release this Saturday evening of the new community cookbook Spicing Up the Cariboo, Characters, Cultures and Cuisines of the Cariboo Chilcotin. They are pictured here with the invitation and name tags created by children for those whose stories are in the book.

Birchwater was charged with the task of helping to edit the stories collected Enders, Livingston, and Salley.

“I must confess that oral history is one of my sweet joys as a writer in this region,” Birchwater says in the forward. “Every one of us has a story, and each of us comes from somewhere unique, and brings the essence of our background and traditions with us.

Nothing better reflects who we are than the food we eat.

“What totally surprised me was the extent of cultural diversity that exists in this region,” Birchwater continues.

In his cursory count, Birchwater says the book contains the stories and recipes of 49 families and individuals who trace their roots to 45 distinct cultural backgrounds that circle the globe.

He says several of the interviewees come from a mix of cultural backgrounds and some families consciously celebrate two or more ethnic traditions.

Salley says the book also has a “slow food” undercurrent, encouraging people to use the freshest locally grown and produced food they can find.

As part of their studies about countries around the world, Enders

says a group of families who home school their children together have had their children make the name tags for the people featured in the book. The name tags feature little flags flags from their country of origin or ancestry.

“We’ve all learned a lot about writing, editing and publishing,” Salley says. “The CMHA board and directors were supportive and made it possible for us to do this.”

“Whether people have been here a log time or are newcomers, the people we spoke to just loved being here and wanted to raise their families here,” Livingston says.

The others agree.

Preparations for the 2013 parade on Saturday, June 29 are well underway.

“Right now the committees are getting together to plan and organize the parade, and we’re looking for individuals and organizations to step up and help,” Zwiers explains.

“We’re starting to look for spon-

sorships, we’re getting ready to choose an honourary parade marshall and we’re re-vamping our website.”

Zwiers notes he is one of five parade marshalls, adding that one is dedicated to the equine component of the event. “The rest of us keep everything else running smoothly,” Zwiers says.

The parade route will be the same as last year, and volunteer re-

cruitment has begun.

“There is a wide range of activities and tasks for volunteers and we always welcome new faces,” Zwiers says. “We’re also looking for an organization who can supply a group of volunteers for things like security for the barricades.”

community CDC preschool art show at Station House Gallery LeRae Haynes

Special to The Tribune Kids from the Child Development Centre preschool have released their ‘inner artists’ for a beautiful art show at Station House Gallery.

Cheleine Doyle, 9, (left) and her brother, Kaden, 4, dressed formally for the CDC’s preschool art show event at the Station House Gallery last week.

Kaden holds one of the art pieces he made that will be on display until the end of April.

The fresh, unique show is on display in the upper level of the gallery until the end of April, and each piece is for sale as a fundraiser for the CDC and for the gallery.

Members of the community had the opportunity to meet the young artists last week at open house events where they enjoyed refreshments as well as art, and the opportunity to meet Aileen Hewett, original founder of the CDC. She said that it is exciting to see how the organization has grown.

“It has grown on the inside for quite a while, expanding and adding services and programs, and is now expanding on the outside as well,” she said.

She noted that the art show is an excellent opportunity for both the children and the community. “It’s wonderful for any child to be exposed to the arts community. One of the main features of the Centre is that there is no difference made between children. They are all the same – we

appreciate each one.”

CDC executive director Nancy Gale recently received a commemorative plaque from the BC government congratulating them on 40 years of continuous service in child care. “You think about 40 years, and how many children have come through and been supported by the CDC. What we’ve been trying to do is bring the children out and make that connection with the community,” she stated.

“And this is one of our connections. It’s an opportunity for non-profits to work together. Things are tight with the economy now and it’s good to support each other.”

She explained that there is a minimum $5 bid on the art work.

“The first time we displayed the kids’ artwork in this show all the pictures sold, so we had to very quickly find more to sell - we wanted to make sure we had enough for both nights.

The first time we did anything like this was when we kicked off Art

Walk in the park with Willie Dye. As a result we decided we really needed to feature children’s art.”

Sara Betts is a CDC preschool teacher who helped organize the event. She said it’s great for kids to have this experience. “It’s amazing; they feel proud of what they’ve done and they get to bring their families and show their art and explain what they did,” she said, adding that the event was organized as a gala and that the kids were invited to get dressed up in their fancy clothes.

There were party dresses and tuxedos at the gala, and Betts explained that many parents were encouraged by their children to get dressed up, too.

“For the community to come here and see local children as artists shows how the children are expressing themselves,” she continued.

“They’ve made something that says something about who they are on the inside.

The kids are so excited and happy about this.”

TRU students head to Peru on medical mission Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A group of seven students and a professor from Thompson Rivers University’s Respiratory Therapy program in

Kamloops are heading to Peru next month on a medical mission.

Second year student Jamie Hooker, who graduated from Columneetza Secondary School in Williams Lake, is part of

the delegation.

While home for Easter, Hooker told the Tribune the group will be in Peru for two weeks.

They’ll spend time in the jungle, time in higher elevations such as Machu

Picchu, and at a university in Lima.

“The itinerary isn’t set in stone yet, but we will be taking a bunch of our respiratory equipment there, and we’ll teach people how to use it,” Hooker said.

In rural areas, the students will conduct baseline assessments for blood pressure, heart rates, and do basic checkups.

“Some people in those communities don’t even see a doctor once a year, so it’s going to be a rewarding experience,” Hooker said. A student who attended last year’s Peru trip told Hooker in one day they did more than 400 assessments.

Lynn MacIsaac-Beaton, a clinical educator at B.C. Children’s Hospital, is also part of the delegation.

Part of their stay will be in a monastery, as well as in hotels. The doctor who has invited the group feels obligated to cover their costs, however, the group wants to be able to cover some costs and so

far has raised $14,569 of a $21,000 goal.

“We have one girl who works at a pub in Kamloops and she’s done steak dinners with raffles. We’ve had support of the Kamloops Blazers hockey team.”

Students in the respiratory program volunteer at a sleep clinic on the TRU campus and each year there’s a big sleep

conference held there.

“We had people who work in respiratory therapy who attended the conference donate equipment. It’s been really great,” Hooker said.

So far 20 breathing machines for sleep apnea have been donated from companies, along with equipment from BC Children’s Hospital.

They are also bringing

carbon monoxide monitors for people’s homes.

Hooker first heard about the respiratory program from the receptionist at her family dentist’s office when she was still in high school.

“I did some work experience with the respiratory therapist at our hospital and knew right away it was what I wanted to go into.”

“They call the Cariboo home” Williams Lake Honda: 25 years in the business Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer It’s no small feat to run a business successfully for 25 years.

And the secret, at least for Williams Lake Honda owners Nancy and Ryan Watt, is to keep a tightknit group of family and friends around to help out.

“We work and play together.

And most of the time we get along,” Nancy joked.

Nancy and Ryan’s son, Mitchell Watt, 22, works as a partsman and in sales at the shop.

Margaret Vanderburg has been with Williams Lake Honda for 17 years working as an accountant and bookkeeper.

And family friend Wade Delainey heads up the service and repair shop and is a red seal mechanic.

Local high school student Jevin Weinert comes after school a few times during the week to help out around the shop, also.

Nancy and Ryan’s other two children, Brody and Mackenzie, have also spent time working at the shop in the past. Brody currently works as a partsman and salesman at Carter Motorsports in Vancouver. Mackenzie is currently in her third year of landscape design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Nancy said buying the business 25 years ago was a big change for the family. She’d been working in Williams Lake as a graphic designer, while Ryan was an electrician.

When Ryan was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis he decided a career change was in order. But he still wanted to be in a field he’d enjoy just as much as his previous career.

“People change careers, and he always liked that little shop [the old Williams Lake Honda on

Broadway Avenue] and Honda bikes,” Nancy said. “Ryan went in there one day — he’d always liked to tinker and fiddle with stuff — and he asked the guy to please call him if he ever decided to sell.”

The family bought the business in 1988 and stayed in the original building for five years. As they grew they moved to a location beside Chuck’s Auto, where they stayed for 10 years, before buying the current storefront on South Lakeside Drive.

Williams Lake Honda provides full sales and service of Honda and KTM motorbikes, ATVs and power equipment and has a fullyequipped solar and marine shop.

And, they provide repairs to all of the products they sell right at the store.

“Ryan and his friend Kent Bernier — he owns the building with us with his truck shop com-

pany Bernier Holdings — they’d meet just about every night at our house and talk about how they could buy this building and add on,” Nancy said. “So they filled that whole parking lot in and we went from there.”

Originally, Nancy said she wasn’t very involved with the business.

“I was working as a graphic designer and then we bought the shop and had kids, so I quit my job and just kind of started hanging around,” she said. “We had three kids so I wasn’t around a lot, but I did what I could until the kids got older.

“It was pretty crazy because it was a man’s place. When we first got it I started out doing the books and, obviously, we grew so we needed a bookkeeper, a proper one, so Margaret came. I’d fill in for her when she was on holidays.

It was pretty casual, but now I’m

here every day. I couldn’t even sell a spark plug before.”

Ryan said they’re proud to offer good customer service in a friendly environment.

“Service is very important to us,” Ryan said. “We can get just about anything you see online here, and we can be more selective at a good price.”

Mitchell, an avid motocross racer, added he’s always enjoyed working for the family business, and said he gets to work in a field he enjoys.

“It’s been fun,” he said. “You get to be close to the family and it’s awesome working around here, too, because I get to work and play.”

Delainey, too, added it’s a great family to work for, and said he enjoys the work he does.

“I’ve been here eight years,” he said. “It’s good working here.

We have a lot of good times and

we’ve been family friends for as long as I can remember.”

“I figure if Wade can’t fix it it’s unfixable,” Nancy added.

This Saturday, April 27, Williams Lake Honda will celebrate its 25th anniversary at its storefront, located at 1065 South Lakeside Drive.

Staff at Williams Lake Honda will be hosting a barbecue, demos and door prizes, with all of the proceeds going to Cariboo Search and Rescue.

“Stop by, have a burger, and help out search and rescue,” Nancy said.

The barbecue gets underway at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m.

“The barbecue will be by donation and all the proceeds are going to them.”

SENIORS SCENE What does hearing loss look like?

Hearing loss is often an unseen and misunderstood disability that affects millions of Canadians directly and indirectly every day, many of whom suffer the loneliness in silence.

It does not have to be that way and everyone can help those with hearing loss by knowing the signs of hearing loss and acting with compassion.

Look for signs of a hearing loss: • TV/radio turned up to loud • Misunderstanding what others have said • Asking others to repeat what was said • Person speaks very loudly; complains others mumble; no longer enjoys lifetime interest

such as cards or church etc.

• Person may become very negative toward others and may actually believe people are whispering and talking about them.

• Person changes the subject back to something they know and does not wish to discuss another topic. This puts the hard of hearing person in control of the conversation and it makes it easier for them to follow along and not answer something out of place.

• Person sits in the corner at family gatherings. They wish to be included but do not wish to participate in conversation for fear of hearing something wrong and speaking incorrectly

• Person leaves events early, often complaining of headaches or being overtired. Having a hearing loss is very stressful and a hearing impaired person is often exhausted when at an event simply trying to hear and be included in the occasion.

• Person has others order for them at restaurants; says they will have what the other person is having; does not wish to interact with a stranger (wait staff) and fears being misunderstood • Person does not answer the phone, often times standing by the phone watching the call display but will not pick up, choosing instead to just pay you a visit or call you back so they are

in more control of the situation.

What can you do?

Be understanding and supportive! Hearing loss is not a function of the brain, lack of education or even selected hearing.

It’s a real emotionally draining and stress full disability, understanding and support go a long, long way.

Talk to your loved ones. Help them understand their loss. Have their loss diagnosed properly with a complete hearing test which could take up to one hour in duration including any medical concerns that need to be forwarded to family physician or specialist.

Look into amplification and/or assistive listening devices (ALD’s) such as amplified phones, Bluetooth devices for television, flashing fire alarms and doorbell monitors, special phone answering machines etc.

Position yourself for speaking to a hard of hearing person. Stand in front of them, face them.

They may rely on lip reading so do not cover your mouth, chew gum or place yourself in front of a window or in front of lighting as this creates a glare which makes it difficult for the hard of hearing person for lip reading.

Facial hair such as beards and moustaches do limit a person’s lip reading ability even if trimmed properly.

Simply clean your loved one’s glasses so they can lip read more easily.

Speak clearly and slowly, do not yell. Too much loudness makes speech intelligibility poorer and can actually be painful.

Use a whiteboard and eraser. A thick tip marker and printing not writing is easiest to read.

Ask open ended questions as questions that require yes and no can easily be taken out of context and create confusion.

If you asked the same question in the exact same wording twice and the hard of hearing person still does

not understand, change your wording in your sentence. There is obviously something you are accenting or pronouncing that is unclear to that person and saying the same sentence 10 times will not help!

Simply call them by name a brief millisecond before you start to speak. This will not improve your loved ones hearing but it will focus their concentration on you and therefore may help them hear you.

Keep the noise in a room or vehicle, such as radios and televisions to a bare minimum when carrying on a conversation in order to have your voice the signal of interest and easier to understand.

Speak to younger members of the family such as a hard of hearing persons grandchildren and explain the situation to them and instruct them on the best ways to help grandma and grandpa understand them.

Grandparents want and need to be included in their grandchildren’s

lives and grandchildren want and need their grandparent’s approval on their life’s trials and tribulations!

Last thoughts A hearing impaired person can still sustain further damage to the hearing organs during lawn mowing, power tool operation etc. It is very important for everyone from young children at the racetrack to the elderly mowing the lawn to wear correct hearing protection when needed. Any noise level over 85 dB can cause hearing loss if exposure is for extended periods of time.

Some basic noise levels: welding, 94 dBA; leaf blowing up to 115 dBA; woodworking 86 dBA; hedge trimming 95 dBA; groundskeeping, 93 dBA; chainsaw, 113 dBA; electric drill, 94 dBA; shotguns, 147149 dBA; motorcycles, 80-115 dBA; video arcade, 80-110-dBA; balloon pop, 157 dBA; sporting event, 95-110dBA.

Pay it Forward today and every other day Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer

Gaeil Farrar photo

When Darlene Doskoch (right) gave up her photography business last year to concentrate on completing her university degree, her job with the Canadian Mental Health Association, and volunteering as the Canadian co-ordinator for Pay it Forward, she gave away all of her photographs in random acts of kindness. Some photographs she gave away anonymously to people she thought might enjoy them, but this one of a young colt in the Chilcotin she gave to her friend Sue Lachance who fell in love with the photograph while it was hanging in her restaurant, New World Coffee and Tea House, for a while last year. expecting anything in return in order to foster an increased sense of community.

Recipients of a good deed are encouraged to Pay It Forward to someone else.

Pay It Forward Day was started in Australia in 2007 by Blake Beattie and has now spread to over 70 countries including Canada.

Doskoch founded Pay It Forward Day Canada in 2009 after being contacted by Beattie to join as a national co-ordinator for Canada.

Her name was put forward as the Canadian co-ordinator as the result of her work to bring Challenge Day, anti-bulling events to Williams Lake students.

Doskoch says nine provinces are hosting Pay It Forward Day events this year. In Williams Lake she says they

will have an information booth set up at SaveOn-Foods today from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and free hot dogs and water, and likely free hugs for those who need one, something Doskoch also believes in.

“It has been an amazing journey,” Doskoch says of becoming the Pay It Forward coordinator for Canada.

“When I started volunteering with Pay It Forward Day International, I never dreamed that it would grow as fast and as vast as it has.

“Kindness has no barriers, it’s just about the selfless act of doing something for someone without the expectation of something in return.

The reality is, that it really feels good!”

Today, April 25, is Pay it Forward Day in B.C., but there is no reason people can’t practice acts of kindness any day of the year, says Darlene Doskoch, Canadian co-ordinator for the Pay it Forward Day movement.

“Pay It Forward is encouraged every day,” Doskoch says. “Pay It Forward Day is just a reminder to start each year with a new level of giving.”

The vision for Pay it Forward International is to give people the opportunity to give to others — particularly those less fortunate than themselves.

One good deed might not seem like much, but if everyone did something good for someone else, then the chain of generosity would uplift our society into a whole new echelon of caring.

“There is no limit to the different kinds of acts that can happen,” Doskoch says.

“It does not have to cost you anything, it can be as simple or as complicated as you wish.

There are never limitations on acts of kindness!”

Doskoch says there have been lots of examples of paying it forward in Williams Lake.

“Buying coffee for the person behind them in the Tim Hortons line up, raking peoples yards, sweeping their carports, handing out flowers to strangers, letting a person go ahead of them in the line, holding the door open for someone, bringing fruit platters to an office building, handing out gifts on the street,” Doskoch says. “These are all things that have actually happened in Williams Lake.”

In February, Doskoch says word was received that for the second year in a row, April 25 has been proclaimed as Pay it Forward Day, a day inspired by Catherine Ryan Hyde’s novel and the Warner Brothers’ movie by the same name, which involves people doing three good deeds for others without
