CATALINE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS JUMP FOR HEART

The RCMP and Williams Lake fire department responded to a hydro pole fire May 22 on First Avenue North between Oliver and Borland Streets. At around 9 a.m., the fire department arrived, followed by BC Hydro about 20 minutes later. BC Hydro spokesperson Dave Mosure confirmed the fire destroyed a primary insulator, and caused a power outage. “Crews did a temporary repair of the pole after the fire was extinguished, and will eventually have to replace the pole,” Mosure said. A total of 87 people were impacted due to the fire and subsequent pole repair. When crews return to replace the pole, there may be some minor power outages at the time, Mosure added.

Darlene Doskoch of Williams Lake said it was hard to be too far away to help look for friends and family that were missing after tornados touched down in Oklahoma. Doskoch is originally from Oklahoma and has a sister living in Shawnee, where a tornado touched down on Sunday. Her family is OK, but it was touch and go during Sunday and Monday, when texting was Doskoch’s only means of communication with her sister. “Shawnee was hit on Sunday,” Doskoch said. “My sister Shannon’s house was fine, it wasn’t damaged, but when the tornado hit on Monday in Moore, it was half a kilometre from her sons, Frank and John’s school.” The boys go to Westmoore High School and Brink Junior High. Their dad, Kurt Schultz, was on the other side of the Oklahoma city when the tornado hit Moore, and it

She kept saying, it’s so bad honey. It’s really bad, you have no idea. It’s bad. I thought I lost my boys Dar.” Doskoch first heard about the

tornado when she went on Facebook and noticed that one of her friends in Oklahoma had posted a note asking prayers for her mom and BJ because they’re taking cover in their basements in Ramona. “Ramona’s where I lived before I moved to Williams Lake,” Doskoch explained. “I tried to text my friend Marty in Ramona to ask her if the tornado had hit and if everyone was OK because the woman I lived with in Ramona is in a wheelchair and wouldn’t be able to get away on her own.” Doskoch learned her friends were all safe and nobody was injured, but when she saw photographs of the devastation, she described it as “brutal.” “It was huge. Luckily there’s a lot of farm land out there in Ramona, and the tornado didn’t stay on the ground too long there.” Growing up in Oklahoma, she went through a few tornados as a kid, but nothing like the ones that occurred there the last few days,

she said. “It’s been pretty scary all around. It was four kilometres wide. It was huge.” On Wednesday clean up efforts continued in the tornado’s aftermath. Corresponding through social media Wednesday, Schultz said a massive cleanup is underway. “Obviously in that area there is sporadic phone service but I believe power is beginning to be restored,” Schultz said. “Monica I cannot begin to explain the outpouring of love and generosity our great state is receiving not only from within but from outside Oklahoma. Those of us who live here know what amazing people okies are yet it’s still overwhelming to see how we always come together as one when our precious state is hurt.” Schultz said 24 people have been confirmed dead, nine of which are children. “Two huge tornados in two days was two too many. But we are Oklahoma strong,” Schultz added.

Chief receives key to Cariboo Chilcotin Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Esk’etemc Chief Fred Robbins is the third person to receive the Key to the Cariboo Chilcotin. Robbins received the award from the Cariboo Regional District on May 17 in Williams Lake at Thompson Rivers University North during the St. Joseph Mission Residential School conference. Robbins was recognized for his efforts in instigating the conference and the subsequent unveiling of two monuments honouring those lost to and survivors of residential schools. “We wanted to recognize Fred for his efforts and hopefully it’s the beginning, not the end, of a continuing process

to make people aware of the impacts and make sure it doesn’t happen again,” CRD chair Al Richmond said Tuesday. The CRD believes Robbins is going to bring recognition to the Cariboo Chilcotin for trying to bring First Nations and non-First Nations communities together, Richmond said. “Fred demonstrated leadership worthy of commemorating and celebrating. He was recognized by National Chief Shawn Atleo and Grand Chief Stewart Phillip.” The award honours those who further the ideals of the CRD on a provincial and international level. Previous recipients were Paul St. Pierre and Rick Hansen.

Barnett, Wyse split secondary school vote Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer After hearing from all of the candidates running in Cariboo-Chilcotin and Cariboo North, with the exception of Green Party candidate Dustin Price, during a forum held at William Lake secondary school on May 7, students in Williams Lake voted in a mock election held May 10 at both Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools. The schools could not release the results until after the official election May 14 results were made known, Columneetza teacher Shannon Rerie said. At Columneetza Liberal candidate Donna Barnett received 140

votes, the NDP’s Charlie Wyse received 121, the Green Party’s Dustin Price received 104, and Independent Gary Young received 61, while 29 ballots were spoiled. At WLSS, Wyse received 78 votes, Barnett received 76, Young received 56, Price received 44 and nine ballots were spoiled. WLSS teacher Brian Badgero, who emceed the forum, said the schools were given Cariboo-Chilcotin ballots only because the schools fall within that riding. After the forum it was great to hear students talking about the issues that were brought up during the forum or just comparing party platforms (Liberal vs. NDP), Badego said.

Correction In the May 21 edition of the Tribune, 90-yearold Mable Solomon

was identified as Mable Sutherland. The Tribune apologizes for the error.

“To get students to become engaged in politics and discussing the issues with their peers made the event a great success. We even had real polling stations and ballot boxes for students to get accus-

tomed to. It was great to work with Shannon Rerie at Columneetza because without her we wouldn’t have gotten all of the candidates showing up to our forum.”

Bigger battles ahead for First Nations: Belleau says Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Many survivors have spent half of their lives talking about residential schools, researching residential schools, writing about residential schools and healing, said Charlene Belleau, manager of the Indian Residential School Unit of the Assembly of First Nations. Belleau has spent the last 30 years advocating for the stories to be told, and for settlements that bring some sense of closure. “The reason we need to move on and turn the page is because we’ve got bigger battles ahead. If dealing with residential schools is helping us to move forward in what work we still need to do, it’s important,” she said during a session at the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School reunion that honoured RCMP investigators into criminal cases. “We’ve got the William case that is coming up locally. We need to pull together and unite as we’ve never done before and be able to work together. When the Tsilhqot’in go for title of their lands it’s going to affect all of us.” A lot was lost through residential schools, Belleau said, but there’s lots to gain by moving ahead from the experience. Recalling the first disclosures of abuse at residential schools Belleau said those were difficult times, but advocated the pain of the residential school survival cannot be passed on to future generations. While holding perpetrators to account, many First Nations went through feelings, initially of shock that there could have been sexual abuse at the residential school, then the anger

Belleau said her own mom was really mad at her for years until Father McIntee stood up in court and pled guilty. “She didn’t want to believe me, but she believed the priest when he pled guilty.” Retired RCMP officer Bob Madrigga, who served in Williams Lake between 1985 to 1992, recalled arriving in Williams Lake at a time when people were just beginning to come forward with allegations. “I want to honour the people who came forward because when they did, we could actually take the investigations before the courts.” Former RCMP investigator Bob Grinstead, presently in Kenya doing human rights investigations, sent a written statement which Madrigga read from. “I have also reflected on my past involvement and the many challenges many of us faced

together. My memories are so varied. There’s no escaping that there were stressful and emotional moments, however, I believe now, as I did then, that it is important work and necessary for the purpose of exposing those past abuses and opening the door to individual and community healing.” Grinstead said the experiences he gained guided his views from then on. With the support of so many of the people who were at the reunion, he was able to understand the depth of abuse and hardships endured by so many First Nations people and developed an appreciation for the challenges involved in coping with the past and working toward healing, he noted. “The difficulties I experienced were minor compared to those endured by survivors. I so admired the dedication of those who put the need of others ahead of their own.”

When he first visited the empty and closed school, with broken windows, and a cold wind blowing through, he discovered countless student cards complete with photographs. “There were so many faces that were in many cases hiding dark secrets,” Grinstead wrote. “In the months and years to follow, I would look at these photographs hundreds of times as they proved to be an invaluable source

for locating former students.” He met with many survivors who were ready to open the door to healing, which he thought was “amazing” because in those early days there was little support and no group to share experiences or find strength. “For many years now I have been working in developing countries and post-conflict support of human rights. I know I would not have

taken this path had it not been for the important residential school work and the bonds we developed.” John Pilszek now with RCMP operations support in Williams Lake, was transferred to the detachment in 1987, and worked with a unit responsible for investigations into the residential school. “Charlene was instrumental in assisting Bob Grinstead and myself, climatizing us to the customs, and what went on in the residential schools,” Pilszek said. As an investigatorPilszek interviewed the former students and prepared files for the courts. “One of the problems we ran into was that for the people who were coming forward, many of them were older and it was a difficult time, and the people responsible for committing crimes against them had moved on to other places in the country and some of them had

passed away.” From his experience, he saw “it was very clear that the students from St. Joseph’s Mission were the ones that came forward first. “They really brought to the forefront the abuse that occurred in residential schools. That was really the impetus for investigations to then take on a provincial tone.” He said investigations are still going on today so it’s not forgotten. “My hope is that you can find some healing and move on.” Addressing the crowd Belleau encouraged the survivors to enjoy each other’s company and share stories over the reunion weekend. “The funny things you tell about what you did to those priests and nuns as well because I heard lots of stories. It’s time to laugh about some of the things that happened because there were good times as well and I think we need to cherish that,” she said.

Riders in and around Williams Lake invite the community to join them this Sunday, May 26 for the annual Children’s Wish Ride at Minton Creek Ranch just one kilometre on the right past the Wildwood store on Highway 97. The Children’s Wish Ride raises funds to support the B.C. and Yukon Children’s Wish Foundation. The event starts at 9 a.m. and goes all day. People can ride, walk, bike or just hang out around the barn and enjoy a horse-drawn wagon ride for a donation. There will be a band playing, a silent auction, lunch by donation, and a raffle for a two-night stay at the Elysia Resort on Quesnel Lake.

City computer water system project awarded Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer A water system model development project contract for the city of Williams Lake is being awarded to Associated Engineering Ltd. for a total amount of $109,141, excluding GST. “It will look at all the parameters of flow, the sizes of pipe, the various pressures on the system and the reservoirs,” explained acting CAO Geoff Goodall. “That way we will know exactly what the impact is going to be on the entire water system rather than what the impact is going to be on a local area.” While the city’s water

system becomes larger and more complex, the project will help with moderating consumption, operating the system more efficiently and examining ways of treating the water. Goodall said the new system will be completely flexible. “What you do is build the model that you have today so that you have your entire distribution systems sitting in a computer model,” he explained. “If you say we’re going to do a 100 lot subdivision and you add a pipe onto the end where it’s going to join in, you can size the pipe, put in the topography of the area and it can tell you exactly how that entire

subdivision is going to impact the entire system downstream.” The total budget for the project is $130,000, including software and training totalling approximately $14,500. “This leaves a budget of approximately $115,500 to complete the Water Model development as per the RFP,” engineering technologist Jeff Bernardy noted in a report to council. “The proposal of Associated Engineering of $109,141 is within budget.” Five proposals were received, the four others were from Focus Corporation for $49,160, Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. for $148,190, Omega and Associates

Engineering Ltd. for $84,920 and Opus Dayton Knight Consultants Ltd. for $86,627. Coun. Danica Hughes asked how the contract was awarded and heard staff looked at the proposals and scored them. “At the end of the day in this case there were two that were pretty close. One was substantially higher than the other, so we took the lower one that met all the criteria,” Goodall said. Coun. Geoff Bourdon said the criteria system is a good way to go when assessing request for proposals. “If we pick the lowest bid, that’s not in the best interest if someone’s going to miss the mark in

Residential school events a good first step

t was a powerful experience last week attending the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School commemoration events. The level of participation from across the community and region was unique and appreciated. We acknowledged and honoured school survivors, and listened to personal experiences. From the As a Mayor’s parent, Chair I canKerry Cook not even imagine what it would have been like to have my children taken away in cattle trucks at five years of age. We have lost generations of parenting. Coming together, listening, and acknowledging is a first step. Deciding how we move forward together is important in creating our future. My vision is to create a community where all people feel welcome and respected. This is long overdue. We all have a choice with how we move forward together. The monuments unveiled at the former Mission site and in Boitanio Park are permanent reminders of the residential school, and its effects, which continue to be felt today. They are also reminders of those choices that should challenge us in promoting healthy, respectful relationships. I visited the Total Ice Training Centre last week, and had a tour from owners Tyrel and Kayla Lucas. This is a great addition to our community. It promotes healthy living and inspires excellence. Tyrel and Kayla are inspiring and lead by example. Keep an eye out for information about the budget and bylaws in the tax notices, which will be sent out shortly. As you will see in the inserts, roughly half of your taxes come to the City. I’ll see everyone at the Lakers Car Club Show and Shine and the Williams Lake Children’s Festival this weekend. Some fantastic events to enjoy with your family! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Harper fails to act on scandal The pace of government action (or in this case, inaction) is something Canadians will never fully be able to grasp. In the blink of an eye, the Conservative government can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funneled out of his office to repay the alleged wrongdoing. But, this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over the head of embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expense account, eventually repaying the improperly claimed expenses with $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned. Duffy has now quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate, but he is so far rejecting calls to resign as a senator. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him

out the door. Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission without answering questions from reporters. The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limitless is now unable to even mention the name of his disgraced colleague. Canada’s 105 senators all make a basic salary of $135,200. And apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill. Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embarrassment that is this nation’s Senate. - Penticton Western News

he great thing about political punditry is the ability to be right and wrong at the same time and get away with it, which is why the pundits who were no better at predicting the outcome of the B.C. election shouldn’t be expected to be any better at interpreting the results. It’s quite simple: the B.C. Liberal party set out to win at all costs and did. They ran the better campaign, got their vote out and won. They were even willing to throw a candidate or two under the bus to do it, as witnessed by two full page ads in Victoria’s Times Colonist extolling the virtues of Green Party leader Jane Sterk paid for by none other than the B.C. Liberal Party. Fault them for their tactics, but not even the huffing and puffing of political observers over those tactics seems to resonate long with the voters who ultimately decide elections. What should be of concern though is the emergence of an almost constant pool of voters in B.C. and an equivalent block of non-voters. In 2009, 1.65 million voters cast a ballot. In the 2011 HST referendum, 1.61 million mailed-in their vote. And last week, 1.63 million made the trek to the polls, although that number will rise slightly when absentee ballots are tallied. Looked at another way: close to half of the province’s eligible voters continue to turn their back on the ballot box. That’s not a good thing. And what lurks beneath these numbers should worry NDP operatives. In 1979 at the crest of its support, Dave Barrett and the NDP won 46 per cent of the popular vote or 646,188 votes out of 1.4 million cast. They still lost the election. Last week, Adrian Dix and the NDP won 39.5 per cent of the vote or 643,399 votes out of 1.63 million cast. Over 35 years, the NDP has seen its share of the popular vote steadily decline and its actual vote stall, despite an electorate that has nearly doubled in size over the same period. Parties that don’t grow their base lose and risk withering away. While the Liberals grew their vote marginally over their 1979 Socred brethren, they don’t have too much to boast about either. In 1979, the Social Credit party won 677,607 votes. The B.C. Liberals pulled in 723,618 votes. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC. This is part one of a two-part column.

campaign to focus on the issues important to Cariboo North and to try to engage the voters. I believe we did that. Giving voters a choice is the other part of making democracy work. I am very proud of our positive campaign and our enthusiastic team of volunteers. We worked hard to elect a new government with better priorities. A heartfelt thank-you to all of you. Thanks to the donors who paid for the office, the signs, the leaf-

PET Services

Cariboo Pet Crematorium

Ways pets could improve health Rather than heading to the pharmacy for solutions to common ailments, a majority of people may be able to stop at the nearest pet store or animal shelter and find a finned or furry remedy instead. Studies that link positive health benefits to pet ownership abound. According to WebMD, one study found that 48 stockbrokers who adopted a pet experienced lower blood pressure readings in stressful situations than did people who did not own pets. Another study found that individuals suffering from serious diseases, such as cancer or AIDS,are far less likely to experience depression if they have a strong tie to a pet. Plus, pets have proven beneficial to seniors struggling with loneliness. Any pet can try a person’s patience at times, expecially when a kitty has used a sofa as a scratching post or when a pooch needs to be let into the yard at 3 a.m. But for many pet owners, the benefits of having a pet far outweigh the negatives. Here are some of the many ways that pet ownership can be good for your health. * Lower blood pressure: Petting a dog or cat can lower blood pressure, as can watching a fish swim around a tank. Those with hypertension may want to purchase or adopt a companion animal to help lower their blood pressure. * Reduce stress: Stress is something people face on a daily basis. According to a National Health Interview Survey, 75 percent of the general population experiences at least “some stress” every two weeks, and many times that stress is moderate to severe. Research has indicated that when people spend time with a pet their levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, is lowered while their level of serotonin, a hormone associated with improved mood and well-being, is increased. * Lower cholesterol: Lifestyle factors associated with pet ownership, particularly a focus on increased physical health and activity, can help lower cholesterol levels. Also, having a pet works to reduce stress, which may keep individuals from looking to fatty foods as sources of alleviating anxiety. * Fight depression: Many therapists have prescribed pet therapy as a method to alleviating and recovering from depression. A pet is an unconditional friend and can provide that listening ear a person needs to talk through problems. Also, walking and taking care of a pet devotes attention away from problems and inward thinking. * Improve physical activity levels: Heading to the gym is one way to get a workout, but spending an hour walking the dog or tossing around a ball for a game of chase and fetch is another way to get the heart pumping. Many dog

owners benefit from the “forced”exercise that goes with daily walks. Some people choose to exercise with their pets, enjoying the companionship and the physical activity. *Reduce stroke incidences: There has been evidence that cat owners are less likely to suffer strokes than people who do not have cats. Researchers are not sure of the connection, but surmise that cats have a more calming nature than other types of pets. * Greater opportunities for socialization: Humans are social animals and need to interact with others. Pet owners have a tendency to want to share time and experiences with other pet owners. Pets can provide opportunities for people to get together. * ADHD therapy: Children and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder often benefit from working with a pet or having a pet as a family companion. Playing with a pet is a great way to release excess energy and focus on tasks. Also, a pet with his or her unconditional love can help someone with ADHD overcome self-esteem issues. Similar results are possible when pets are used as therapy animals for children with autism and other behavioral disabilities. * Reduce propensity for allergies: Children who grow up in homes with cats and dogs are less likely to develop common allerll We Se ade gies and even asthma, research suggests. In fact, children who live ian M m d a n a u C around two or more dogs or cats Premi r e before their first birthday are less p u S likely to have allergies of any sort, Foods t e P according to a study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Research presented at the 10th International Conference on Human Animal Interaction found pet owners were the least likely to have to visit the doctor. The survey of more than 11,000 respondents from Australia, China and Germany found that over a five-year period pet owners made 15 to 20 percent fewer annual visits to the doctor than non-pet owners. The companionship and love pets provide could be a key benefit in promoting good personal health.

McLeese Lake salutes mothers with breakfast Rhonda Kolcun Special to The Tribune It was a great pleasure to serve more than 60 mothers, fathers and children at the recent McLeese Lake annual Mother’s Day Breakfast. They were all treated to a wonderful breakfast of sausages, scrambled eggs, pancakes, fruit, juice, coffee and tea.

The delicious breakfast was cooked by Terry Baker, Dave Balabuk, Stephanie Carter and Gordon and Rhonda Kolcun. Lots of help was also given by Howie Chamberlin, Mark and Colin Carter, Dan Mousseau and Fred McCallum. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who helped with cleanup at the end of the

event. The mothers were treated to a beautiful perennial plant donated by Hill Farm Nursery of McLeese Lake and Bev Chance made beautiful homemade cards for the moms as well. It was very successful as many of the guests shouted out their compliments to the cooks as they were leaving. There is talk about

having a Father’s Day Brunch and Scavenger Hunt so please watch for posters at the local venues for confirmation. Thank you to everyone who supported the Mother’s Day Breakfast. You help to make the McLeese Lake Hall events the success they are. Karen Chamberlain and Fred Peever really enjoyed the Mother’s Day Breakfast held recently at McLeese Lake Hall. Many people shouted out their compliments to the cooks as they left the venue.

Colin Carter and his daughter, Stephanie, take time out from their duties to enjoy the delicious food at the recent Mother’s Day Breakfast held at McLeese Lake Hall.

Students and staff at Cataline elementary school held their annual Jump Rope for Heart May 16 and raised more than $11,400 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Horsefly Roundtable looks at co-managing Bruce MacLeod Special to The Tribune

ed at the May meeting. The Salmon Festival is September 28-29) and we will know by May if we receive grants for the event from the Cariboo Regional District and Community Futures. Art’s on the Fly has inquired if there would be any roundtable members available to help with security along the river in the campground across the bridge. There were a couple of volunteers interested. It was suggested that an Arts’ on the Fly representative should endeavour to be present at a round table meeting to expand on the request. This year the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is forecasting one million sockeye in the entire Quesnel river system. The round table also discussed redesigning the outhouse at the campground to create a new one that would require less maintenance. Currently we remove it to higher ground every fall and replace it when the flood is over in spring or summer as the case may be. We need a more permanent structure that can be maintained on site. The danger from the cottonwood branches needs to be addressed again. We will draft a letter to DFO stating our concerns.

A lively meeting of the Horsefly River Roundtable took place April 25 with 13 members present. Among the topics discussed were the sign at the 150 Mile House junction. Ray LeBourdais has offered to donate and install cedar posts for the sign, and Linda Bartsch is looking into attaching a Horsefly Buzz logo. Guy Scharf has donated 24 chloroplast signs with the roundtable logo through Speed-pro printers for the Salmon Festival and other events. We are also having a BC Rivers Day banner made at Speed-pro. Insurance coverage was also discussed for these events. Since the roundtable’s inception in 2007, we have evolved into a nonprofit society and manage our own financial expenses. We have reached a point where our terms of reference and bylaws need to be reviewed. A discussion ensued and it was decided that Maureen LeBourdais would update them as per this discussion and bring the amendments to the May meeting for review.

A motion was put to amend the by-law regarding consensus. If consensus could not be reached, a majority vote would be taken, with the majority being the deciding factor. The pros and cons of co-managing the Horsefly River Riparian Conservation Area (Black Creek Property) was discussed in detail. Barry Booth has received funding from the BC Real Estate Foundation to develop a comanagement plan using local management and expertise provided by a roundtable advisory/ technical committee. This plan will facilitate the transition of management from the land conservancy to the roundtable. Although the board of directors is in general agreement to proceed with the transfer; nothing is written in stone yet, and it will be discussed at the May meeting, with the next step for HRR to be co-managers of the TLC Riparian Conservation Area. There was a committee struck to draft a proposal of co-management between HRR and TLC which will include terms of reference, leases, risks and benefits, concerns, and to get feedback from the local land owners. A draft will be provid-

Peel Out festival most successful yet The fourth annual Williams Lake Peel Out mountain bike festival was the most successful in the event’s history, said organizers. “Featuring more than 200 race participants and another 300 riders in Williams Lake to enjoy the weekend, the Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival is becoming legendary throughout the Interior as one of the most fun, grassroots events of the season,” said Justin Calof, executive director with the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium who, along with the Williams Lake Cycling Club, organized the event. Riders came from all corners of the province including Prince Rupert, Vancouver Island, Vernon, Fernie, Prince George, Quesnel, 100 Mile House, Vancouver and Kamloops. Most came to hang out and take in the mountain bike scene, but the weekend was all about racing and competition was fierce on the downhill on Fox Mountain. With the rains the night before, course conditions were totally different than they were during the three weeks leading up to the competition where the course was super dry. On race day slick conditions and greasy corners made for an exciting race. In Category 8 (women’s 18 and under), Alexandra Hamm kept her title from previous years with a time of 6:01. In Category 7 (boy’s 8-11) Luis Rohner started first and stayed in the hot seat all the way through the category. Rohner finished with a time of 5:43, with second place going to

Evan Trotter (6:11). Third place in the class went to Jade Gibbs in 6:23. Category 6 (12-15 junior men’s) had a number of surprises, including Paul Rohner, who pumped out a time of 4:36 — which would have taken the fastest time in both senior and junior men’s divisions. Second went to Hunter Mennie in 5:05 followed by Aiden Mhyer in 5:11. In Category 5 (elite women’s) it was Monica Larder, former vice president of the Williams Lake Cycling Club and longtime lakecity rider, taking first in a time of 5:24, followed by last year’s Fox Mountain DH champion Janelle Robichaud with a time of 5:31. Third place was taken by Tara Mowat in 5:35. Category 4 (senior men’s) saw Shawn Salmon take the win in 5:33, while Stewart Bell finished just behind in 5:35. Sean Donahue and Ivor McMahen tied for third in 5:37. The always competitive senior men’s Category 3 class (30-49 elite men’s) was taken by Seth Burke in 4:53. Second place was a tie between Tyler Murphy and Williams Lake’s Byron Black with times of 4:58. Third place was won by local Chris Masters just one second behind, in 4:59. Category 2 (race men’s) was won by Gavin Lake’s Harry Tudor with a fast time of 4:46. Second place was Sandy Thompson (5:02), followed by Cole Feldinger in 5:04. The pro Category 1 men’s class saw some big names enter the fray including Williams Lake’s James Doerfling and Cory Brunelle, and 2012 Red Bull Rampage winner, Nelson’s Kurt Sorge.

Thunder Mountain season opener

Williams Lake’s Malcolm Gaylord flies down the track during the Fox Mountain DH Saturday, part of the festivities of the weekend’s Peel Out Mountain Bike Festival. Sorge wound up third in 4:38, Doerfling took second (4:33) and, finally, as anticipated to be the fastest racer in the Peel Out, Brunelle blazed to glory — dressed in a skintight race suit — to take the championship with a time of 4:15. The following morning, after a pancake breakfast at Bell-E-Acres, the Peel Out Super DH took place. “Suffice to say that fun was had by all,” Calof said. “This was by far the smoothest Super DH in Peel Out history and the organizers are stoked.” Later in the evening festival participants gathered at the Limelight for the sounds of Shred Kelly, before the official opening of the new Snakes and Ladders took place Monday afternoon. For complete Peel Out Super DH results visit www.ridethecariboo.ca.

The city’s murals will be on display this weekend with souped up muscle cars, bikes, and many other specialized vehicles draped in front of them for the 19th Annual Lakers Car Club Show and Shine weekend. Wayne Potter, president of the Lakers Car Club, said the local car club of car enthusiasts is looking forward to a great weekend filled top to bottom with activities. “Everything’s getting bigger and better,” Potter said. “We’re expecting a great turnout and this year we’ve changed some things up.” As part of the Lakers Car Club Poker Run Saturday, participants in the show will be required to take

photos of their vehicles in front of the multiple murals around Williams Lake. The poker run starts with early registration Saturday at 1 p.m. in the A&W parking lot and is open to anyone. “We’ve got some great ideas there this year,” Potter said. “We’re going to have everyone going around town taking pictures of their cars in front of the murals. It’s one of the ways you get a card in the poker run, so it’s going to sort of promote all the murals around the city.” The poker run goes until 5 p.m. when participants will gather at the Stampede Grounds for a steak dinner — open to the public — for $15. Then at 7:30 p.m. Lakers Car

Club members and car show participants will hop in their rides and head up to Thunder Mountain Speedway for its opening races of the season to show off their cars during a few intermission laps around the race track. After that car show participants will head back to town for a latenight cruise of the city. The action picks right up again Sunday morning with the Lakers Car Club Show and Shine. Gates open at 8:30 a.m. for registration, with the show starting at 10 a.m. in downtown Williams Lake. Sixty-six trophies will be awarded in 50 classes at the show and shine. There will also be a Sunday Downtown Ladies Only Poker Run taking place through the afternoon.

Thunder Mountain Speedway hosts its season opener in a big way May 25, bringing in the exciting ASA OK Tire Sportsman Series, plus all the regular local race classes including street stocks, pro minis and bone stocks. Qualifying laps begin at 5 p.m. with racing to start at 6 p.m. Fore more visit www. thundermountainspeedway.ca.

Lightning strike in Penticton Williams Lake Lightning repeated as champions at the 52nd annual Penticton Pacific Western Brewery Invitational Tournament over the May long weekend. The tournament featured 12 teams from across B.C. and Alberta. Williams Lake won a hard-fought final 3-2 Monday afternoon versus the hometown Penticton Pinnacles. The U-21 Pinnacles which participate in the Pacific Coast Soccer League were looking for a measure of revenge on Williams Lake who defeated them 1-0 in the final the previous year. Penticton went ahead 1-0 early in the first half before Justin Wallace and Kyle Halverson answered for Williams Lake to give them a 2-1 half-time lead. Geoff Buchanan scored early in the second half to put the Lightning up 3-1. About midway through the second half Penticton was

Williams Lake Tribune Thursday, May 23, 2013

Speedway slams into gear for season opener Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Twenty of the fastest cars in Western Canada will be in Williams Lake this Saturday when Thunder Mountain Speedway hosts its season opener at the local race track. Thunder Mountain Speedway president Tim Westwick said the local race club is excited to host the ASA OK Tire Sportsman Series Presented by Advance Testing. The season opener at Thunder Mountain will include a 100-lap main event featuring the sportsman series cars. Williams Lake residents Korbin Thomas — a three time champion in the series — and Ryley Seibert are both in the field for Saturday night’s event. “What they did was they combined two series to form one governing body in Western Canada, and they formed the ASA OK Tire Sportsman Series from the ASA and ARCA West series,” Westwick said. In addition to that the event will feature all of the local car club classes including a newly formed street stock division (the thunder division and street stock division from previous years have been combined), the bone stock division and the pro-mini division. “We’re really excited as far as the local club goes,” said Westwick who, in past years, has raced in the thunder class. “We have commitments from a minimum of eight street stock drivers for opening day. With our pro-minis, we’ve got at least six

of them, so our car counts are looking good and we’re excited about that.” The Lakers Car Club and all of the cars entered in this year’s Lakers Car Club Show and Shine will also be making a cameo appearance during the intermission of Saturday’s races. As part of its weekend’s festivities car club entrants will be showing off their rides on the race track. “Last year we were two cars wide all the way around the track and he [Wayne Potter, president of the Lakers Car Club] thinks they’re going to be three wide this year.” The Williams Lake Dry Grad Committee will also be at the track selling tickets for its dry grad truck raffle, plus selling 50/50 tickets. Westwick, too, will be taking part in the action as he’s moved up to the street stock division for this year’s season. “I’ve built a whole new car and I’m moving up,” he said. “I’m excited.

Wildwood Elementary School: the heart of a community

LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune

W i l d w o o d Elementary School has seen its share of fluctuation and uncertainty and has been ‘on the chopping block’ on and off for more than 20 years, say principal Mamie Elkins and Cassie Blain, parent advisory council president. The school has been in operation since 1960, Elkins explained, adding that after being cut back from K-7 and operating for two years as K-3, the school is now expanding to K-6.

Elkins and Blain, along with First Nations liaison worker Jeannette Merriott, say it is their belief that working to make Wildwood a true centre of the community has made all the difference. “Even though it fluctuated a lot, we still managed to keep our enrolment trickling in,” Elkins adds. “Last year we had three to four kindergarten students registered, and they started coming in during July and August, and by September we had 12 kids enrolled.” She said that this shows that

community schools do matter. Blain said that the uncertainty of knowing how many grades would be offered and if the school will be open at all is something that has affected the whole community for many years. The school currently has 16 students in Grades 1-3 and 10 in Kindergarten. “I wanted a smaller school atmosphere for my daughter,” Blain said simply. “At Wildwood she did a year and a half of Strong Start, went to Kindergarten and now she’s in Grade 1. She’ll

go here as long as the school is open.” Elkins said members of the community who have their kids at the school are involved with the school. “School isn’t just a place where you drop off your kids,” Elkins explains. “Our parents are really connected to the school and are using it more and more after hours.” There is a wide range of community events that take place at the school, including a winter fair, potluck dinners, movie nights, Easter and Valentine’s Day dinners and

flea markets held as fundraisers for the community association

and for the school. “We did a Louis Riel dinner,” Blain explains.

“Visitors said that they were so impressed with our school – our school that has been ‘closing’ for years.” The City of Williams Lake is putting on a hip hop dance class at the school and Deep Creek/ Soda Creek uses the gym for special dinners and events, as well as sports programs. The PAC recently organized an elders’ tea and lunch, where students served the guests, Elkins says. She adds the kids take great pride in this accomplishment. Blain notes that with the school “off the chopping block” again, the community is reviving its plan to build an ice rink on the school playground. “We get to do a lot of activities and go on field trips – with a lot of family involvement,” Blain says. “When the school takes kids on a field trip, they all go. The parents come, too – it’s very ‘family.’” Elkins adds: “I like to see this openness. When you integrate the community into the school, the

“We also weave other cultures into our curriculum, as I know other schools in the district do. We have Shuswap language once a week, and have included cultures like French, Chinese and Metis,” Elkins adds. “We believe that when you create an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding of other cultures the kids take it home with them.” Elkins says the school board came to meet with them in November 2012 to discuss the future of Wildwood school. “We all sat in a circle, which helps make everyone equal, and we felt that they really listened to what everyone had to say,” Elkins says. “Two of our girls got up and spoke about saving their school; they were eloquent and heartfelt about what this school means to them. “They were impressed that we had a community potluck dinner after the meeting, and we heard them say, ‘What a welcoming school.’” There is a community kitchen at the school and Strong Start is offered as well. Marlene Swears from the Metis Association holds an after-school child minding program with help from the Child Development Centre. She has also offered ‘Cooking with Mooshum’ featuring Metis and First Nations cultural cooking, as well as arts and crafts for all the kids in the school. With the school expanding this fall, Elkins says the school will open additional classrooms as needed. “We’ve already started to get enrolment for next year and expect that people in the

Wildwood community will be looking to enrol their kids,” she noted. Over the years vandalism has been a serious issue at the school, but she says that with increased community involvement, this activity has stopped. “It just doesn’t happen anymore – people care about the school,” she note. “Kids here can walk to school. When students get to go to school where they live they’re more actively involved. There are more activities outside of school hours and on

Youth performance space created at the Hot Spot LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune A new music performance space for youth is being established in the former Flavours ice cream shop on Third Avenue. Established by Youth for Christ, the goal is to welcome young people to come and play music and meet new friends in a safe, positive environment, says YFC director Ryan Penner. “We want to get the kids who hang around in the Williams Lake Secondary School common area and at Columneetza and invite them to come down and play a set of music on the weekend — really open this place up,” Penner says. “There are some amazing musicians here.” Youth for Christ Unlimited has been operating in Williams Lake since 1980 as an ‘arm’ of the local Christian churches. Located at 289 North Third Avenue, the organization has seen some changes in the past few months and Penner says they’re excited about the new music program. Now that the Flavours ice cream shop has moved out of the building to their new location on Oliver Street, Youth for Christ has expanded. The new music venue will have a small stage and audience seating area. “We have approached church youth groups and invited them to come here, too,” he adds. “It will give kids a chance to make new friends — somewhere to hang out, have fun and be a good audience, and some to play music.” The Hot Spot drop-in youth centre located in the basement, below the music venue is open on all school days, from 3 to 5 p.m. Kids ages 8 to 12 can come in and play games, do crafts and play pool and ping pong. “It’s an environment with healthy boundaries, so the kids are safe no matter who comes through the door. We have great staff and volunteers who help set that atmosphere,” Penner says. “We have also created a time where we spend more time with kids ready to ‘age out’ of the program — the kids in Grades 6 and 7. So on Thursday we have a special time with these kids after the regular Hot Spot hours.” Also new at Youth for Christ is a youth group for ages 13 to 18. “We have a group of young people who have grown out of the regular programs but still like to have a place to come and hang out, and we’ve put together kind of a ‘junior staff,’” Penner says. “These are kids who don’t go to a church so they don’t have a regular youth group; they don’t be-

They’re the kids who just hang around town. We assign them tasks and they come and help out here. “Now they have their own youth group. Once a week they come to my home and my wife and I cook them dinner.” All of the local youth groups are basically doing the same thing — giving kids love and acceptance, says Penner, who adds that it’s one of the beauties in this community. “Scott McLaughlin has been key all these years, bringing Noopa and Youth for Christ and the Child Development Centre (CDC) together. We have resource people who bring their clients in to play with the kids during Hot Spot hours, and if CDC needs a gaming centre to bring in one client off-hours, they just come in and do that,” he Penner says. “It’s been a great couple of years getting to know the other organizations in town and bringing our resources together to help kids.” One of the great ways self-worth is instilled in kids is through the art program with Cat Prevette. “She teaches them to create from their hearts and then she’ll organize an art show with them,”

Penner says. “She’s so great with these kids.” Major renovations took place in the building after Flavours moved out and Penner says Rod Voth has been an amazing asset for Youth for Christ. “He built all the cabinets himself and redid the whole floor, he donated materials and all his work and volunteered his time, and created this whole space,” Penner says. “It doesn’t matter what kind of vision we come up with: it’s guys like that who make it happen.” He adds that Linda Black’s marketing team at Columneetza secondary was very instrumental in helping with much-needed, expensive things like hockey equipment and new computers. “A couple of kids in that class were former volunteers at Hot Spot and got the group to donate money they raised during their marketing project to Youth for Christ,” he explains. “We owe them a huge debt of gratitude — they did a phenomenal job.” He says that Christianity is the foundation of what they do with the kids, adding that all the staff

members have a Biblical foundation, with a focus on what Jesus did. “In the end, Jesus cared and loved everybody. That’s what we do. We want to love these kids and accept them for who they are,” Penner says. “We believe that we don’t change kids. Our job is to love and accept them. We’re not out to start a church, or a religion. If the kids want to know about what we’ve got, we’ll share it with them.” He explained that he has seen a lot of kids come and go from the organization. “Many of them don’t change at all, and some of them change tremendously. One big change we see is in self-confidence, when a kid has a place to go where they belong they start to feel good about themselves. “For a lot of our youth, divorce creates a great deal of insecurity. There has to be a place where they can come and feel secure. There is acceptance and familiarity here — it’s all about a stable relationship with a caring adult.” For more information about Youth for Christ visit www.hotspotyfc.com or phone 250-398-7765 or email hotspotyfc@shawbiz.ca.

Fraser River swimmer subject of a new book Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Those of us living within the drainage of British Columbia’s most significant watershed will have a particular affinity for the book Fin’s Swim: 21 Days on the Fraser River by Mayne Island author Helen O’Brian. The Fraser and its tributaries drain a quarter of the province and provide a living conduit between the Pacific Ocean and the myriad sources that make up this river system. Essentially the ecological health of the Fraser and well being of this great swath of the province go hand in hand. O’Brian says Fin Donnelly swam the length of the Fraser River twice, from Tete Jaune Cache to its mouth in 1995 and 2000, to draw attention to the vulnerability and precarious state of the river. However, she felt the events weren’t sufficiently well documented. With Fin’s Swim, O’Brian has done something about that and more. The author says she got inspired to write the book, geared to intermediate learners and up, when she spent five wet days on the Middle Fraser in 2004 travelling with a group of academics from Soda Creek to Big Bar Ranch. On that trip she says memories of her favourite childhood book, Paddle-to-the-Sea kept coming back to her. In Paddle-to-the-Sea, author Holling Clancy Holling takes the reader on an epic journey

through all five Great Lakes, down the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean from the perspective of a toy canoe set adrift from the tip of Lake Superior. She says the reader is introduced to the minutiae of habitats and ecosystems that make up the great waterway. She felt inspired to do the same thing for the Fraser, using Fin Donnelly’s swim as an anchor point to tell about the Fraser. “I was hoping he might be the equivalent of the little carved canoe in Paddleto-the-Sea.” O’Brian contacted Fin after her five-day river experience, says not only was his response enthusiastic, but he invited her to join him the following summer on the Rivershed Society’s Sustainable Living Leadership Program for young people. “Together we traveled by kayak, raft and canoe from Tete Jaune Cache to Jericho Beach,” she says. O’Brian says when environmental swimmer Fin Donnelly first embarked on his swimming marathon down the Fraser in 1995, he was 29 years old. Her book Fin’s Swim draws from Donnelly’s journal notes from that trip as well as from her own experiences with the Rivershed Society group in 2005. “The book was a long time coming,” admits O’Brian, a celebrated storyteller and former director of the Vancouver Storytelling Festival. She says Fin Donnelly’s quest was for the health of the Fraser, not

his personal glory. She inserted lots of factual information about the river and historic events that have occurred along the watercourse over the centuries. She colours the narrative with several sidebars excerpts from Simon Fraser’s 1808 journal, and speaks of the pictographs and petroglyphs found on rock faces along the way. She uses artistic license to describe the harrowing misdeed of the colonial government in the trial and hanging of five Tsilhqot’in war chiefs in 1864, beside the river at Quesnel. She talks of other calamities like train wrecks of twisted metal still evident at the base of canyon walls further downstream. She tours you through a native fishing camp at the mouth of the Bridge River where you can almost taste the delight of smoke-dried sockeye.

She speaks of the legend of sasquatch through the mist-laden lower canyons. O’Brian reflects on the devastation to the river that did not happen, that would have snuffed out all the salmon runs north of Lillooet. In the 1950s the provincial government contemplated the

Moran Dam that would have created a lake 150 miles long and generated more power than the Grand Coulee and Hoover Dam combined. In 1972 this plan was shelved, hopefully forever. O’Brian breaks the book into three sections as depicted by the Z-shape of the Fraser itself. The Upper Fraser from Tete Jaune to Prince George, the Middle Fraser from Prince George to Hope, and the Lower Fraser from Hope to Jericho Beach. She begins the book with a quote from Fin Donnelly. “One could argue that, like the pioneers of Canada, I conquered the river by swimming it – that I beat it, controlled it and overcame it. But

upper reaches to the crescendo in the lower urban section that is so busy.” O’Brian is holding a special book launch and reading in Williams Lake on Thursday evening, May 30 at 7 p.m. at Scout Island Nature Centre. She has a short eight-minute video clip about the Fraser she will show along with reading and telling stories from the book. Don’t forget, she is a storyteller. One of the highlights that accents Fin’s Swim is the collection of illustrations throughout book by artist Debbie Bowles. Fin’s Swim will be available at local retail book outlets.

that’s not how I look at it at all. I swam with the river – I learned to work with it, using its characteristics and nature to my advantage....” O’Brian concludes she got to experience the many different flavours and moods of the Fraser. “I discovered the wonders of the Upper Fraser and could feel the power of the river increasing as it received the water from its tributaries.” She says the zones changed dramatically as they moved through the geology, topography and climatic differences. “I liken the differences in the river to the movements of a symphony, from the peaceful serenity of wilderness and solitude in the

The community hall at Watch Lake has recently been renovated to include inside bathrooms. This is quite a step up from the wonderful outdoor biffies of old! A beautiful reno with contributions from all the volunteers in the area. The Cariboo District Women’s Institute has

seven branches at Dragon Lake, Horsefly, Kersley, Lyne Creek, Hixon, Springhouse and Watch Lake. The Watch Lake rally included an informative talk by 100 Mile Free Press editor Ken Alexander. The most critical issue facing WIs today, as do other service clubs, is recruitment. The younger generation, for the most part, view us as old, knitting grannies and not the vibrant, go-to

people we are. Alexander gave us lots of ideas on getting our deeds and club out into the public. Next, Lynda Krupp spoke about her trip to Peru and the current problems that women there still have to deal with — lack of respect, very little expectations and a lack of rights. How lucky we are to live in Canada. Never take it for granted. Coffee, tea, lunch and fellowship were the order of the day.

Transition Town Group hosts film and discussion on garbage Richard Case Special to The Tribune The lakecity’s Transition Town Group will host a film and discussion night on Monday, May 27 starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Central Cariboo Arts centre. Trashed is a provocative investigation of one of the fastest growing industries in the US, the

garbage business. The film examines a fundamental element of modern culture, the concept of throwing away. At times humorous, but deeply poignant, Trashed examines the North American waste stream, what are the effects all this waste will have on already strained natural ecosystems. Why is so much pro-

duced? Where does it go? While North Americans create almost five pounds every day, who is affected and who wants us to produce more? The film analyzes the causes and effects of “taking out the garbage” while showcasing the individuals, corporate and advocacy

groups working to affect change and reform the current model. Trashed is an informative and thought-provoking film everyone interested in future consequences and sustainability should see. Following the film there will be a short presentation on waste reduction efforts here in Williams Lake.

SPCA hosts activity day open house Saturday The Williams Lake and District Branch of the BC SPCA is hosting an open house and animal-themed day of fun this Saturday, May 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. Highlights of the Open House include kids’ activities, educational displays, shelter tours, face painting and refreshments. Manager Lorie Chortyk says the open house event is an opportunity for people to meet the animals available for adoption and to have fun learning more about how to help animals in the community. In addition to a day of activities for the whole family the branch will promote the joy of pet guardianship over the weekend, May 24 to 26, with half-price adoption fees on all cats, kittens and rabbits. “We’re also asking members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” says local general manager Lorie Chortyk. The co-sponsor of the open house is Hill’s Canada which supplies food for animals at SPCA shelters. She says their wish list of donations includes Hill’s brand wet cat and dog food and red or black KONG toys, patio umbrellas to help shade the dogs when

they are playing outside during the summer, and digital cameras. The Williams Lake branch is also in need of

a few loads of gravel for dog pens if anyone in the community is able to help with that need, Chortyk says.

“They call the Cariboo home” Stepping Stones Homeopathy: finding natural solutions LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Mona Niebergall is a classical homeopathic practitioner in Williams Lake who states that the goal of homeopathy is to get you back to your natural state and your natural ‘balance.’ She explains that when you get out of balance you get sick, and that identifying that imbalance and finding the solution is the job of the practitioner — a challenge she takes on with knowledge, experience and a caring heart. Sometimes people seek homeopathic help when their children are having behavioral problems in school; sometimes it’s for things like shingles or asthma, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, severe allergies and acne, Mona says. She adds that for the past 200 years, homeopathy has been used successfully during epidemics and also for many types of injuries and conditions. “Homeopathic remedies are all natural and there are thousands available. Most sources for remedies are England and Australia, made from things like plants, minerals and animals,” she explains. “Everything we need to find our balance is found in the natural world, or in the society we’ve created, and in homeopathy, the remedies are not harmful and have no residual effects.” She says people come to her when they’ve exhausted other avenues and want to explore natural solutions. “They feel that they’re not in control and they’re not getting any better, and may feel that the medicines they’ve been given

It challenged that can last two or three hours, ‘dis-ease.’ The remedy and the everything I ever thought was depending on the client.

She says the purpose of the interview is to find out what makes you an individual. “It’s deeper than symptoms, deeper than ‘dis-ease.’ The homeopathic conversation is a never-ending conversation,” she says. “After the interview all the information is reviewed and I come up with a treatment plan — a place to start. “This plan is very individual and personalized, and the whole person is treated, with people generally taking the remedy for a month. “You don’t go to one place for your mental and emotional symptoms and another for your physical ones — in homeopathy we treat the whole person.” At Stepping Stones everyone is welcome, from babies to seniors, and Mona has also had great success treating horses and dogs. “When you achieve your balance it includes mental, emotional and physical: it’s your whole self,” she explains, adding that curative homeopathy works hand in hand with mainstream medicine. “Doctors are fairly good at diagnostics, so we should use that to our advantage — I call it ‘adjoining’ health care.” She says her goal when she meets a client is to see how she can help. “What I want most is for them to find true healing, in whatever form that needs to be for them. I was born for service and will be there for people any way I can.” For more information about Stepping Stones Homeopathy contact Mona Niebergall at 250-267-5101 or email monaliz@live.com.

“THE VOICE OF BUSINESS”

If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for us Place them in our Wawa’s arms And tell her they’re from us Tell her we love her and miss her And when she turns to smile Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile Because remembering her is easy, We do it every day But there’s an ache within our heart Because we’re missing her today... Love, Makena & Ashton Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name. In life we loved your dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. We Love & Miss You Mom Patty & Dora-Lee The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Love you with all my Heart Gordie
