The Churn Creek area of the Cariboo Chilcotin is the latest community in the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) to develop a wheelchair accessible wilderness trail. It’s called the Churn Creek Gateway Low Mobility Trail and was built in partnership between the Cariboo Regional District (CRD); the Friends of Churn Creek Protected Area Society; the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development through the BC Community Recreation Program; Northern Development Initiative Trust; and the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Ac-

tion Coalition. The Churn Creek Gateway Low Mobility Trail is located within the Churn Creek Protected Area where the Fraser River and Churn Creek meet. Approximately 450 metres long and featuring a packed, crushed gravel surface, the accessible interpretive wilderness trail loop offers unique geographical features and connections to the human history of the area. “I am extremely pleased that we have now completed the Churn Creek Low Mobility Trail,” stated CRD Chair and Electoral Area G Director, Al Richmond. “This is the next step in making

the Cariboo Chilcotin one of the most attractive wheelchair accessible tourism destinations in the world.” The trail has a very gentle grade as well as an accessible outhouse, an accessible picnic table, two benches and a kiosk at the trailhead with information about the trail and the local area. The kiosk design reflects a Secwepem’c pithouse, complete with entrance ladder through the roof. There is ample parking available for visitors. The Churn Creek Gateway Low Mobility Trail is located approximately 60 km southeast

of Williams Lake and the drive takes about 2.5 hours. From Williams Lake, visitors should travel on Highway 20 approximately 3 km and then turn left onto Dog Creek Road. Continue on this road until Dog Creek Valley and then follow signs for Gang Ranch, which will take visitors across the Fraser River Bridge. At the next intersection, take the left turn onto Empire Valley Road. On-going management of the site is provided by the Friends of Churn Creek Protected Area Society.

of all relevant information, the ministry said. Historically Mount Polley has received 16 geotechnical inspections since 1995. Seven of those inspections took place before the mine went into care and maintenance in 2001 and nine of them took place after it reopened in 2005. The last geotechnical inspection took place in September 2013 and resulted in no orders related to the tailings storage facility. Since 2001, there have been a total of 125 inspections at Mount Polley. This includes geotechnical inspections as well as health/safety, reclamation and electrical.

Secondly, the Conservation Officer Service, as an independent law enforcement body, is conducting its own investigation with the authority to forward any recommendations for charges if warranted directly to the provincial Crown Counsel. Imperial Metals vice-president Steve Robertson said the company will not be commenting on the ongoing outside investigations until they are completed, and confirmed that the company is also doing its own investigation. After the breach, the chief inspector of mines issued an order to all mining companies to conduct a Dam Safety Inspection for every tailings storage facility at a permitted mine by Dec. 1, 2014. Under the order, those inspections

Imperial Metals continues with tailings breach cleanup Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer There are more people working at Mount Polley Mine mitigating the tailings storage facility breach than there were before it happened, said Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs. “We have well over 450 people involved,” he told the Tribune during an interview in Williams Lake Wednesday. All of the regular work force is back after a second round of recalls went out and in addition to another 30 people working on the cleanup of Quesnel Lake “We’ve got consultants, people out on boats and geo-technicians,” he said. The first thing that had to be completed was the dike, Robertson explained, and now that it has been, work continues inside the tailings impoundment to fill in low lying areas

The United Nations has a goal to have at least 50% of the world’s newborn babies be breast-fed for at least 6 months by the year 2025. It is well understood that this practice will give the child a better start in life with better nutrition and a stronger immune system.

Working with several other organizations, including universities, federal and provincial governments, research institutes, and First Nations, they will present preliminary findings at the annual Quesnel River Research Centre open house on Saturday Oct. 4.

The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) and the City of Williams Lake are conducting a second survey of residents in the Central Cariboo Recreation service boundary which began Sept. 25, 2014 regarding the Sam Ketcham Pool at the Cariboo Memorial Complex in Williams Lake. Discovery Research is the company that will be contacting residents by telephone to conduct the survey on behalf of the CRD and the City of Williams Lake. Residents who reside within the Central Cariboo Recreation service boundary who are contacted by Discovery Research are encouraged to participate if they receive a call. The survey will be used to provide baseline

information for elected officials and staff about the use and awareness of the Sam Ketcham Pool at the Cariboo Memorial Complex and the November Referendum. In January 2014, a survey of 400 residents in the City of Williams Lake and portions of the Cariboo Regional District (CRD) Electoral Areas D, E, and F found that 75 per cent of people indicated they were familiar with the proposed project to renovate the pool, including the replacement of the main pool tank and the addition of a three-lane leisure pool featuring a lazy river and waterslide. Sixty-four per cent of respondents said they support major renovations to the pool.

Child Development Centre celebrates past and future Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer In the near future, staff at the Child Development Centre will be able to come out of the closet. That’s because for three years, office spaces have been created in spots that were once clothes closets, chuckled executive director Nancy Gale on the eve of Saturday’s celebration and book launch celebrating the CDC’s 40th anniversary. Although it wasn’t organized as a way to mark its fourth decade, the centre is getting an addition, slated for completion mid October and an autism centre that should be ready by Christmas. Spruce Lee Construction has been fabulous doing the extension and centre, Gale said. “We haven’t lost a day and they’ve worked around us. They are a whole group of young men who have really taken it on as their centre.” Titled, Cariboo

Child Development Centre autism centre project manager Andrea Elzinga and Spruce Lee Construction site manager Darren McEachen excited the walls are going up at the autism centre in advance of Saturday’s 40th Anniversary celebration. Chilcotin Child Development Centre Association — 40 Years Working With Community, the coil-bound book was compiled by Elaine Watt. Many of the articles and photographs in the book were printed in the Williams Lake Tribune between 1974 and 2013. “Special thanks to Aileen Hewett and others who have clipped, collected, and scrapbooked these articles,” the front note page

states. Hewett was the person who started the centre all those years ago. Gale also credited Ron Malmas and Steve Nesbitt for helping format the book. Looking back through the association’s history Gale said the association really is a community organization. “There’s been consistency in terms of our values,” she said. In March Andrea

while Durfeld added the foundation’s money is supporting a project that will go a long way in helping meet the needs of autistic people in Williams Lake. More recently the Pacific Autism Centre in Vancouver contacted Gale to tell her they envision the Williams Lake centre being connected to theirs. “They will begin constructing the Autism Centre for Excellence in 2015 and by working with them our staff and parents will have access to staffing and technology,” Gale said. Elzinga said another thing that’s taken on a life of its own is local funding for the centre. “Prime Meats, BDD, Blocks-R-Us, KC Program and the Square Dancing Club have had fundraisers on their own and brought money in,” she smiled. “It’s pretty neat.” The 40th Anniversary Celebration takes place Saturday, Sept. 27 from 2 to 4 p.m at the centre located at 690 North Second Avenue.

Elzinga was hired to manage the autism centre project and said last Friday she was excited because the walls were going up. “It’s neat to see the plans on paper materialize,” Elzinga smiled. And since she started working on the project she’s met more and more people who have a child with autism or know someone who does. “I’ve been learning and seeing how they are challenged,” she

added. “When people find out I am working here they share their stories and I tell them about all the positive work being done here.” Sixty per cent of the centre’s funding is coming from the John Gordon Autism Foundation, who was approached by Cathie Durfeld from Community Living BC in Williams Lake. “They told me they wanted to put some money outside of Vancouver,” Durfeld said when the CDC announced the funding. “They loved the idea,” Gale said at the time. “The board supported the idea unanimously and on Nov. 18 I received a handwritten cheque for $96,000.” Presently two CDC staff members are trained to work with autistic children. Originally there were 11 children in the program, but after the staff members were trained, the number grew to 30. Gale anticipates that the centre will become a hub for the north,

Fight for quality The kids are back in school. Getting them there, along with their teachers, wasn’t easy. But the BC Teachers’ Federation and the government deserve some credit for finally getting down to brass tacks after too many false starts in the past several months. The agreement will not resolve the court cases over the 2002 contract stripping by the BC Liberal government, which was the underlying issue that kept the two sides far apart. That matter will go to the B.C. Court of Appeal next month, after two B.C. Supreme Court judgments that went against the provincial government. Hopefully, that matter will be settled sooner rather than later. But the glacial pace of court proceedings and the likelihood that the Court of Appeal decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, means a final resolution on class size and composition in B.C. schools is likely still years

away. From the beginning, this strike was all about the students, and the quality of their education in our public school system, according to both the teachers and government. If that’s truly the case, robbing students of education through strikes and lockouts is something neither the province nor the BCTF should be proud of. In the long term, we need a solution to terminate the seemingly endless labour disputes between the province and the BCTF. Students looking forward to graduating this year, after 12 years in the system, have never known an educational environment free from labour strife. Given how this dispute unfolded, most parents will now look to teachers and the provincial government to live up to prove the integrity of their fight for the quality of their children’s education. – Black Press

Making magic in the Land of ‘Before’ It’s a place I didn’t recognize at first. A magical place, I think, where theory blossoms into life. The Land of Before is a busy, authentic little place where everyone works. People live there — actual people with rough edges and real needs. But something stirs in the land ... Could I get some directions, please? Maybe I will just head over to see. When I first noticed folks who are seriously happy, I thought they must just be lucky. You know — maybe more handsome, shapely, or rich, or smarter than folk like me. But as I looked, that wasn’t what I found. It was their ordinariness that troubled me. There was nothing exceptional about them. Nothing at all.

Living out Loud

with Rita Corbett

I had known some of them long ago, long ago in the Land of Before, when things were different. Some of them used to be intolerant, angry and unkind. One was painfully arrogant. Dishonesty and selfishness lurked in their past, as did roots

of anger. But in the Land of After they were happy. And changing a habit or two hadn’t done it. Something special had brought these people to a better land. Was it hope, courage, discipline? I was envious; I wanted to know. But in Lambert and Potter’s song about the Tin Soldier, the answer was so simple that most walked away when they found it. Our tomorrows are brought to us by what we did yesterday. We create our ‘After’ in the Land of ‘Before.’ “Our lives are like tofu,” claims Boorstein. “They taste like whatever we marinate ourselves in.” That means that our only problem, our only real competition, according to Criss

Jami, is the person in the mirror. What a sad discovery! Or is it? It’s sad to find there is no magic, that there are no tricks and no shortcuts. Even talent is not needed. All that is required is practice. Over and over again, most of those who live in charmed places are simply repeating what they always did ‘Before.’ A curse word is a rehearsal just as surely as is a “Thank You.” It’s the secret everyone knows. Ask Pele, the soccer great. “Everything is practice,” he says. Practice for something. And practice is how we will play. The Land of Before is a magical place. It sculpts character, friendships, careers, and nations. We are what we practice

most, muses Richard Carlson. Wildly scary at first, finding the secret of magic in mundane repetition could be our most enchanting discovery. We are the ones that make us who we are. We can practice good stuff, or drill ourselves in patterns of loss, forever affecting the ‘After.’ It is in the Land of Before that we fashion the future. We create our own ruts. Tomorrow will simply bring us more of what we practice today. What we plant in the Land of ‘Before’ blossoms in the Land of ‘After.’ And that is our only bloomin’ guarantee. LOL@wltribune.com.

Report card time for local politicians This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a fouryear term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do. To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several po-

B.C. Views

lice vehicles in the process. Isitt took to his Facebook page to decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure. Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably

this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring

Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-

governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Snow peas and creamy crab has wild taste I was in an eating establishment in town recently and as the other person I was having lunch with had not yet arrived. I had the opportunity to watch people eating. I observed a couple in their mid 30s, sitting at a seat not far from me. They appeared to be having an interesting conversation along with some drink when their meal arrived. On their plates were giant burgers, a mountain of fries, a side of deep fried onion rings and a small salad. It wasn’t the amount of food in front of them that amazed me, it was how fast they gobbled down their food. I could hardly believe the speed with which they were consuming their meal. I wanted to tell them to come up for air. I don’t think 10 words were said between them during lunch. Looking around it appeared to me

Ken’s Country Kitchen

with Ken Wilson

many of the people eating were going at it a little quick. I saw a guy put a fork-full of steak into his mouth and about four chews later, it was swallowed. Would the stomach digest these big chunks of meat as easily as a piece that was chewed well? Years ago when I started to learn to cook I also learned to eat slow

and savour the food. Then 30 years ago a hypothesis was developed regarding people eating slower. It was said that if you ate slow, it was healthier for you. There was no scientific backing for this idea. Just recently however, scientists at the University of Rhode Island did a study of 30 females over a period of time. This is the first time such a study has taken place and the findings agreed with the previous suggestions that eating slower reduced calories. Those who ate their pasta dish in 29 minutes ate 67 less calories that those who shovelled down the food in 9 minutes. If you multiply 67 calories by three meals a day. That’s a big difference. The research also showed that taking more time to eat provided

a greater feeling of satiety at meal completion and up to 60 minutes afterwards. One of the easiest ways to eat slower is to put your fork down on the table between bites. When you have the goodies in your mouth just about pulverized then it’s time to ‘fork it’ again. Eating fast can cause indigestion, belching and sometimes farting. So folks, those of you who ‘fork it’ quite quickly, try slowing down, savour the food, enjoy some conversation. There shouldn’t be as many after effects and apparently it’s more healthy. I don’t know how slow you can eat these next appetizer recipes — perhaps a few minutes between them would help! Here’s one I really like. It looks good and it has a wild taste.

Snow Peas and Creamy Crab • 8 ounces of snow peas • 1/2 cup sour cream • 1 tin crab meat finely chopped • 3 oz package of cream cheese softened • 1 tbsp horseradish • 1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper • Dash of lemon juice • Cut peas in half, then mix together crab meat, cream cheese, horseradish, pepper and lemon juice. Fill pods full of mixture and put on serving plate that has a sprinkle of red pepper around. Looks great and tastes better. Eat slow. Let your lips and palate have a chance at tasting the food. Put the fork down and enjoy. Bye for now and Gooood Cooking! Ken Wilson is a freelance columnist is the Tribune/Weekend Advisor.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They’ll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eye-opening. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Spend some quality time with a romantic partner this week, Leo. He or she can provide more of what you need, such as true affection and companionship, than what’s offered by friends. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you deserve credit at the office. If you’re patient, some measure of recognition will come your way this week. It’s a start to getting what you need. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Few people will accuse you of being uncommunicative, Libra. In fact, you’re usually downright chatty. It’s one of the traits people will admire most in you this week. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, a new person comes into your life and your attraction to this person catches you off guard. It’s okay to flirt, but if you’re already attached to someone, leave it at that. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/ Dec 21 Sagittarius, you’re often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead. You’re content to sit back and simply listen. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, once you have gained enough confidence in a special interest, you may be able to turn it into a career instead of just a hobby. Keep working toward that goal. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It’s time to tie up some loose ends, Aquarius. Rustle up some energy to take care of all those little things that need to be wrapped up. You’ll feel a weight lift afterward. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, increase your level of activity this week. Exercise can do you a world of good, especially if you’ve felt sluggish of late.

Lakecity declared Mural Capital of Cariboo Chilcotin Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Without hesitation city council declared Williams Lake as the Mural Capital of the Cariboo Chilcotin last week after hearing a pitch from art walk coordinator Willie Dye. “I’ve counted and we have the most murals in the Cariboo,” Dye told council after he shared a four-minute video featuring the city’s murals created by himself and local videographer, John Dell. Before the vote, Coun. Geoff Bourdon said any money the city can give to support murals is good. “Murals go farther when you’re talking

Arty the Artwalker, aka Wilie Dye, the Art Walk co-ordinator, pitches Williams Lake as Mural Capital of the Cariboo Chlcotin to city council. beautification dollars,” he suggested. Looking at Dye he said few people pound the pavement as much as he does, to promote the Art Walk and Williams Lake.

“I’ve seen very few people walk by our store as often as you do,” he told him. Dye also updated council on the Art Walk, calculating 52 businesses participated this year

and that 250 people did the art walk and visited an average of 45 venues. “There were 10 to 14,000 store visits,” Dye said. “While all walkers are not buyers, there is great potential there.” Art Walk got started in Williams Lake in 1999 by Laurie Walters — she wasn’t a councillor then. Dye joined the board four years ago. “The brochure we develop for the art walk really helps,” he said. In the last three years, Dell has created an Art Walk video with Dye, featuring the various venues and art work. Dye said so far the 2014 video has received almost 300 views since it was posted to Youtube

on Sept. 2. Walters told Dye she was excited with the news and planned to share it at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Whistler this week. “It will also be an opportunity for us to brag about being the mural capital,” Walters said. Mayor Kerry Cook congratulated Dye on his efforts to promote Williams Lake and praised him as a great ambassador. “The community is made up of a lot of people and you are one of the passionate ones,” she told him. Smiling Dye said mural capital was a much better option than crime capital.

An information session geared to people considering running for city council, school board or the regional district takes place in Williams Lake on Wednesday, Oct. 1. Va n c o u ve r- b a s e d registered parliamentarian Eli Mina, who is leading the session, described his style as presenting and providing an opportunity for people to ask lots of questions. “I always tell people there is no such thing as a dumb question,” Mina said, adding he is mindful it’s an evening session and hopes to keep people awake and keep it interesting. Mina has been in Williams Lake before conducting workshops with newly elected councils soon after an election, however, he said it is unique for him to work with possible candidates before an

Eli Mina election. “When I was in Williams Lake last time working with council, one of the participants said wouldn’t it be great if people thinking of running for council knew more about how it works,” he explained. Often people don’t understand the whole parameters involved with serving as a politician, so it’s important

to give them some clear understanding before they ink their name on the nomination form to serve, Mina suggested. Topics he’ll explore include common myths about serving as an elected official; roles of individual members versus roles of the council/board as a collective body; protocols for council/board meetings: debating, voting,

motions; decision making goals, principles; the duty to constituents versus broader duties; interactions between the council/board and the administrative staff; interactions of the council/board and individual members with the community; transparency versus risk management (open meetings versus closed meetings); and conflicts of interests: issues and procedures. The session is cosponsored by the City of Williams Lake, School District 27 and the Cariboo Regional District. It begins with registration and light refreshments at 5:30 p.m. followed by the information session from 6 to 9 p.m. at city hall. 450 Mart Street. To register for the session, contact Cindy Bouchard, City of Williams Lake at (250) 392-1773 or email cbouchard@williamslake.ca.

couraged to capture the eagle. On Wednesday, shelter volunteer Suzanne Burton picked up the eagle and brought it to the Animal Care Hospital for staff to examine it. “We couldn’t figure out what was wrong,” said veterinary assistant Carla Harris. “There are no broken wings or anything. Maybe he got into something he ate that made him ill or maybe he hadn’t eaten, who knows? Nevertheless the eagle has an attitude, Harris chuckled. He’s waiting with his mouth open every time they bring him a fish. For now staff will focus on feeding him regularly and then he will be transported to 2nd Chance to fully recover.

Reuse, Redesign and Repair

Part of the Cariboo Regional District’s Solid Waste Info Series: Becoming Waste Wise Ever feel like there just isn’t enough time in the day? Life is so busy for so many people that finding the time to deal with waste can be a challenge. Day to day waste that is generated in the kitchen must be dealt with weekly, but unwanted items such as clothing, furniture, toys, and kitchen/household items can easily pile up over the years. Some individuals find disposing of these items in the garbage the easiest way to manage them. Others can’t bring themselves to part with the items as they might still have a use for them one day, or they are keeping them until they have the time to repair, or redesign the items. Rather than a landfill destination, or perpetual accumulation in your home, consider taking unwanted items to a local charity, outreach program, share shed, or thrift store on a monthly basis. There are always those in need who can benefit from these unwanted items. Charity organizations often have garage sales for fundraising; outreach programs provide items to those in need; there are over 25 share sheds located throughout the Cariboo Regional District providing opportunities for residents to drop off unwanted items and to “shop” for free; and thrift stores are often run in conjunction with a charity, provide affordable shopping and job opportunities. Many individuals who frequent garage sales, share sheds and thrift stores are looking for items to reuse or to redesign and have the time it takes to repair or the creativity to redesign.

Dipnetting with Dad nets crowd Sean Glanville Staff Writer More than 100 people gathered at the Williams Lake Library Saturday morning for the book launch of debut author Willie Sellars and firsttime illustrator Kevin Easthope’s children’s book Dipnetting With Dad. Kevin and Willie, who forged their friendship a few years back fighting wildfires together, took turns doing their first ever reading of the book to a public audience.

We didn’t reinvent the wheel.

If you happen to have time and the interest to reuse or redesign items there are endless articles and “how to” websites online or books at your local library to provide you with creative ideas and methodologies for how to turn one item into another. Used clothing can be transformed into trendy shopping bags, purses or wallets; bicycle wheel rims into circular table tops; end tables into brightly colored patio furniture; old wood into bird houses or picture frames; meat grinders or colanders into lamps; doors into headboards… the list goes on and on.

Sellars also brought his dipnet made by Lloyd Myers of Stone Reserve to the library to allow the youngsters a chance to handle it. “I first started dipnetting with my dad when I was about seven years old and I’ll always remember the feeling of handling the fish and how slippery and heavy they were at the time,” said Sellars. The book is described as: Set in the beautiful landscape of the Cariboo Chilcotin region, Dipnetting With Dad is a delightful and colourful story of a father

AT QUICK LANE, We didn’t reinvent the wheel.

Alternately you can sell or give away items yourself. There are many online opportunities to give away or sell unwanted items or you could have a yard/garage sale. Kids clothing and toys are popular items to re-sell, as they are often in good condition due to the short period of use. Selling online or in your yard can put some money back in your pocket and items can be picked up at your door step!

Waste wise education is delivered to students in the Cariboo Regional District; however the CRD would like to make waste education available to everyone, as we all have the ability to change our waste handling habits for the better.

tour in Vancouver. Sellars had his picture taken with Suzuki, who purchased a signed copy of the book. “He (David) told me he was going to read the book to his grandson that night so that was really cool,” said Sellars. “He also said he was very impressed with the illustrations.” Easthope said he spent on average 18 hours illustrating each page before the drawings were ready to scan. The process was expedited somewhat by Bev’s enthusiasm for the book. The illustrations were well worth the wait, as they truly bring the characters to life and jump off the page and transport the reader into their world. “I felt like I was pushing Kevin along with a cattle-prod telling him to hurry up with the illustrations. I had read the book and was so excited for it,” said Bev. Bev also noted how dipnetting is often done at night under the firelight, and thought a Dipnetting With Dad at Night would make a great sequel to the book. Dipnetting With Dad had 2,500 copies published and copies are available in hard cover for $16.95 locally at Save On Foods and the Open Book and online at www.amazon.ca.

of praise from a number of local authors who offered up their support and expertise including Sage Birchwater, Chief Bev Sellars (Xat’sull) and Bonnie Forsythe. Birchwater was the one who got them in touch with Caitlin Press who published the book and Bev Sellars, a cousin of Willie’s, offered a ringing endorsement which is on the back of the book. “Willie’s great book took me back to my own days of fishing on the river … [His] detailed description of the process from ceremony to enjoying the final product is true to our culture. The Indigenous cultures have so much to share and this book contributes to that distribution of this knowledge,” said Bev. Bev’s book They Called Me Number One, is one of four finalists for the 2014 Burt Award for First Nations, Metis and Inuit literature.

These pots are highly prized as unique decorative pieces. Anna learned her various techniques from numerous workshops that have been brought to the Cariboo by the Cariboo Potters Guild, and developed her style from her own experimentation, trial and error. Anna co-founded the Cariboo Potters Guild nearly 50 years ago with a group of potters, and she served as the guild’s first president.

Williams Lake potter Anna Roberts is hosting a two-day show and sale of her pottery on Sept. 26 and 27 at her home on Grebe Drive near the end of South Lakeside. “Once again I have a studio full of handbuilt pottery that will be displayed outside my studio,” Anna says. Shortly after arriving in the Cariboo 56 years ago, Anna discovered that the area has good clay for pottery-making. She still digs her own clay that she uses to make two different types of pottery. For some pieces she glazes the interior to make them waterproof. She leaves the outsides unglazed to show the interesting colours of local ironbearing clays. As a naturalist, Anna’s trademark design is her use of decaying wood she finds outdoors to impress designs on the surface of her pots. The second type of pottery that Anna makes is burnished ware. She makes these pots by rubbing leather-hard clay with a polished agate to give the pot a shiny surface. The pieces are then fired at a lower temperature than the glazed pottery in or-

How Can We Know, For Sure? How can we know for sure what is truth, objectively? This is a vital question, for a busy, skeptical, even cynical, world of mass communication, unlimited information and crisis after crisis. We know that there are few people we can trust. Trustworthy businesses and organizations are rare. Information on the internet is often sketchy at best when it comes to being reliable. In the world of religion and spirituality, objectivity is especially difficult to access. Real truth is almost impossible to find, or so it seems. What about God and the Bible? Are they trustworthy? How can we know for sure? Jesus, when predicting events relating to his death and resurrection said to his disciples, “I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do happen, you will believe.” John 14:29 The primary purpose of Bible predictions is not to give us the fine details of the future. Instead once the events predicted happen then we will know that we can trust God and his word. Bible prophecy builds faith and trust. What encourages me is the precise details of some events God has foretold and their exact fulfilment. Any human attempts at predicting the future whether by psychics, probability experts, etc. are never 100%. A 75% track record is impressive and acceptable for some. However, to be trustworthy

PARSONS PEN

BY CAMERON JOHNSTON predictions must be 100% fulfilled and only the Bible has that track record. There are literally hundreds of precise predictions in the Old Testament relating to the first coming of Jesus that have all been fulfilled exactly! The detailed prediction that is most impressive for me is a prophecy of Daniel the prophet who was also the wisest of the wise men of Babylon. Five hundred years before he gave the exact year of Jesus’ baptism and death. What is so amazing is that these very specific dates and events can be historically verified and provide impressive evidence of something supernatural. A second powerful series of Bible prophecies revealing the divine

nature of scripture is the amazing detailed outline of political history from the time of ancient Babylon up to this very day. Daniel chapters 2,7,8,9 takes us through four powerful empires, Babylon, MedoPersia, Greece and Rome and down to world events today. We are literally living at the very end of this prophecy which ends with the second coming of Jesus. For some excellent online Bible study guides visit: www.vop.com. In our world of uncertainty, we can be sure of this one thing. God and his word are trustworthy. We do not need specific details of the future. We simply need to be able to trust the God who created us. The God who came in the person of Jesus and won the war between good and evil on the cross and who at the appropriate time will return to deliver his people. Then as foretold, he will create a new heavens and a new earth where there will be no more pain, conflict and death. This is a certainty that you can bet your life on because it will happen. Fulfilled Bible prophecy is the best objective proof we have of a God that cares. God is trustworthy. If you have not yet explored the many fulfilled prophecies of God then now is the time. You will be surprised as how simple they are to understand and how they will increase your faith in the reality of truth. Jesus is the truth, the way and the life. Yes, God and His word are real and dependable.

Cariboo Gold still dancing Murray Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor In the fall of 1983, members of the Williams Lake Community Band were approached by the executive of the Stampede Committee and asked if they could play any songs from the Big Band Era. They were planning a special Stampede Queen Ball for the next year and were hoping to include music from that period with their black tie gala. The next week, about a dozen of us gathered at a member’s home to sightread some classic big band charts and see if there were any that might be in our range. Many of us had not picked up our instruments since high school, so our “chops” were not what they should have been for that calibre of music. Over the next few months however, we met once a week and worked up six charts. The night of the Stampede Queen Ball we were all quite nervous about playing for the stampede crowd as we were not playing traditional country and western music. We opened with a Duke Ellington standard, “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” played four more songs and closed out the set with the Glen Miller classic, “In the Mood.” Everyone was up dancing and having fun — they seemed to really like the music. So when they asked us to play some more, we all chuckled and started over, playing the same six tunes one more time! The fantastic reception of the people that night combined with the pleasure we all had performing that selection of great big band songs was the catalyst for all of us. We all wanted to play more of the same and work up enough music to put on a formal dance. Everyone put in some cash and a committee was formed to purchase music and equipment for the new band. Deciding on a

It included teachers, lawyers, doctors, dentists, mill workers and businessmen. The name “Cariboo Gold Dance Band” was finally selected though at least one member thought it sounded like a brand of beer. Over the next three decades the Cariboo Gold Dance Band has played hundreds of events. The Band combined five times with the Kamloops Big Band and several others to put on the Big Band Spectacular held annually in the late ‘80s at the KXA. The band represented the Cariboo-Chilcotin

at Expo 86, playing for a week on the BC Stage. In 1988, a major trip was organized during spring break and the band travelled to Lake Tahoe. There the Cariboo Gold Dance Band played for a week-long engagement at the Biltmore Hotel in North Tahoe. It was amazing! We skied during the day and played each night. Since then, the dance band has played a wide variety of events, many to support important fundraising endeavours. It has played for the Festival of Lights in Prince George several times, in support of the UNBC Medical Program. The list of other community fundraisers over the

years is extensive; the Annual Clinton Ball, Wells Community Hall, Big Lake Fire Department, RCMP Ball, 100 Mile Community Hall, Quesnel Downtown Business Association, the Discovery School of Dance in Kamloops and many other service club and private events over the years. “We love to play to a crowd that enjoys our music. When we played for the Dance School graduates last spring in Kamloops it was absolutely amazing! They danced to every song we played — swing, Latin, polka. We feel the energy when they’re having a good time,” says Mike Barbour, sax player for

Cariboo Gold. The Cariboo Gold Dance Band has also been a long time supporter of the music programs in School District 27. It has combined with both elementary and secondary school bands for concerts, providing a wonderful opportunity for students to play more challenging music and at the same time see that playing music can continue throughout adulthood. Band members have also been found in the orchestra pit for many local productions, providing music for several school and community theatre musicals. The Dance Band is always looking for opportunities to play music, so if you have an event that needs a 15 piece big band, we’d love to hear from you. Our current book includes over 500 charts so we can create dance sets to suit your specific needs. As well, we are always on the lookout for new members. So if you’d like to dust off your instrument and sit-in on a rehearsal, please let us know. You can find us at www.cariboogold.ca or on facebook or email mu r ray _ h o ff m a n @ msn.com.

NOTICE OF APPLICATIONS FOR SCRUTINEERS

CENTRAL CARIBOO POOL RENOVATION & UPGRADE ASSENT VOTING

On Saturday, November 15, 2014, qualified electors within the Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services Area will be voting on the following question: Are you in favour of the Cariboo Regional District adopting Bylaws 4906 and 4907, which will authorize the borrowing of up to $10 million over 20 years and increase the Central Cariboo Recreation and Leisure Services annual taxation limit to a maximum of the greater of $3,500,000 or $1.98/$1,000 of assessed value of land and improvements, to provide for the upgrade and renovation of the pool and amenities at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex? (Based on 2014 assessed values, the estimated annual cost to undertake this borrowing and operate the upgraded pool translates to a residential tax rate increase of approximately $40/$100,000. The new taxation limit for recreation services of $3,500,000 translates to a residential tax rate of $148/$100,000 of the net taxable assessed value of land and improvements.) Scrutineers for and against the question must be appointed if applications are received from persons who wish to volunteer for the positions.

Boitanio Park â€˘ 10:00 am - 11:30 am In collaboration with Success by 6 and Children First, the Early Childhood Development Network (ECDN) is hoping to raise awareness of the importance of developmental screening of preschoolers. A rack card has been produced that encourages parents of 3 year olds to seek out a simple questionnaire they can complete on their own or with assistance. Depending on where they go for the screening tool, they will receive either the Ages & Stages questionnaire or the Nipissing questionnaire. You can get a simple questionnaire from your early learning and care provider including: StrongStart, Public Health, Child Development Centre (CDC), Pregnancy Outreach Program, Child Care Resource & Referral (CCRR), Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Preschools, Denisiqi & Cariboo Friendship Society.

Eagle’s Nest hosts healthcare information session Sean Glanville Staff Writer The Eagle’s Nest kitchen hosted a luncheon and information session on General Practitioners and healthcare Thursday afternoon. The Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice which represents doctors in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Tatla Lake were conducting a survey among patients hoping to use their input to help identify ways to enhance patient access to doctors and improve the overall delivery of healthcare in our area. About 50 people were treated to hamburgers and hot dogs and those who filled out the survey were entered for a chance to win airfare, accomodation and tickets for two to a Vancouver Canucks Game. CIRDFP Executive Director Trevor Barnes says their goal features three initiatives. “Our first goal is to support doctors and increase job satisfaction, second is to enhance the patient/

The Central Interior Rural Division of Family Practice hosted a lunch and helped people fill out a community survey on ways to improve health care in the area. doctor relationship and the third is to find family doctors that people can attach themselves too,” said Barnes. He added that 21-29 per cent of British Columbians don’t have a family doctor. “We’re working to make sure everyone who wants a family doctor has easy access to one.” He notes many people choose not to have a doctor, stating the most common demo-

graphic are males 2840 years old who think they’re invincible. “Many people from this group only access healthcare seldomly if something comes up and don’t have a doctor and often will just use a walk-in clinic,” said Barnes. “The problem with this is they see often see a different doctor each time who has no patient history or background information like a family doc-

tor would.” Among these people not attached to a doctor are four vulnerable patient groups including: frail elderly, mental health and substance abuse sufferers, those with life threatening chronic illnesses and women going through maternity. “Research shows that people who have a longitudonal relationship with a doctor have better health outcomes over time,” said

Barnes. He added that 80 per cent of a person’s contact with the healthcare system involves going through their doctor. The goal of the luncheon was to assist individuals who have difficulty reading or accessing the internet or may not be attached to a doctor by explaining the survey to them and letting them know their healthcare options. Laurie Walters, a First Nations engagement liasion worker, says the CIRDFP has visited communities such as Alkali and Soda Creek and plan to head out west in the near future. “It’s important that we visit these First Nations communities and reach out to those vulnerable patient groups and explain to them their healthcare options and support networks,” said Walters. Walters and Barnes added the goal is to take all the baseline data gathered from the surveys and come up with about eight or nine trends related to health issues and come up with ways to improve them.

been an educational program designed to ensure that prospective new hunters

BRED FOR DURABILITY. TRUSTED FOR QUALITY.

meet acceptable standards of knowledge and skill for safe and ethical participation in hunting. As of March 1, 1998, the BC Wildlife Federation (BCWF) accepted the responsibility for the delivery of the program and graduate record keeping. CORE graduates who are not a BCWF or affiliated club member are entitled to apply for a BCWF direct membership at half-price, including the Out-door Edge magazine and liability insurance. Although not compulsory, classroom instruction in CORE is recommended and may be obtained

through courses in adult education, community colleges, rod and gun clubs or course advertisements. The written examination is based on: Outdoor Ethics, Firearm Handling, Hunting Regulations, Animal and Bird Identification, Outdoor Survival, First Aid and Safety, and Hunter Heritage, Conservation and Wildlife Management chapters found in the CORE manual. There is a $10.00 fee for each of the practical firearms handling and written examinations. There is also a graduate fee of $30.00 payable to BCWF at the time

of program completion used for CORE program delivery support. The course requires about 21 hours of self study and firearm handling practice based upon the CORE manual. Information on how to obtain the CORE manual and a list of certified CORE examiners is available from Service BC Centres, MFLNRO, the BCWF at 1-888-8812293 or www.bcwf. bc.ca For a Bowhunter Education Program course recognized throughout North America, contact: BC Archery Association, www.archeryassociation.bc.ca

Venison recipe a perfect fit for hunting camp Now that we are into fall and hunting season, it’s a good time for a venison recipe. We were fortunate to have some nice venison given to us last fall and if the hunter is lucky this season, perhaps we will have more passed to us. When I was growing up in the prairies, my grandfather and father hunted a lot, and so I ate venison that was cooked practically every way possible. There was lots of venison stew, great steaks and some tasty roasts. I enjoy venison, especially meat from a young deer but even older animals and mature cuts can be marinated for up to three

days to help break down the tissue and add a nice taste to the venison. For every venison recipe you could substitute the deer and add moose, or you could change that to beef also. Venison Strips • 2 pounds of venison steak cut in strips • 1/2 cup flour • 3/4 tsp salt • 1/4 tsp pepper

• 1/2 cup shortening • 1 can stewed tomatoes; save juice • 3/4 cup chopped onion • 2 cups water • 1 tsp garlic powder • 2 beef bouillon cubes • 3 green peppers; cut in strips • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce A friend made this recipe over his evening campfire. Melt shortening in large skillet. Roll venison in flour mixture with pepper and salt. Brown meat in hot shortening; add the liquid from tomatoes, water, onion, garlic powder and bouillon cubes. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours. Uncover, stir in Worcestershire sauce, add pepper

strips, cover and cook 10 minutes more. Add the tomatoes; cook until they are hot (about 5

minutes). Serve over hot cooked rice. This makes a delicious hunting

Take care of your game meat For many people the opportunity to dine on flavourful wild meat is one of the prime benefits of hunting. Others, out of sorry past experience, consider game meat quite unpalatable. Which will it be: gourmet or “gamey”? The difference

depends much less on the skill of the qualifed butcher who may cut the steaks and roasts for your table than it does on the care you take as a hunter in your initial treatment of the carcass. THE BASIC RULES:

· Place your shot carefully for a quick, clean kill with little damaged meat. · Clean the animal as soon as possible. · Keep the meat free of hair, dirt and other contaminants. · Cool the carcass out and keep it cool. Don’t expose it to

heat from a car motor, fumes or road dust.

Scout Island is saving energy every day Jenny Noble Special to Tribune/Advisor Thanks to the generosity of our community, a new climate control system was installed in the Nature House last winter. Now that both winter chill and summer heat have put the system through its paces, we are happy to report that it’s living up to our hopes. The first step was to upgrade to a 200 amp power supply. BC Hydro had been planning to bury the power supply lines anyway, for aesthetic reasons and to prevent bird deaths, so the timing worked well.

They were so careful to minimize the impact on vegetation that they didn’t have to remove a single tree! They then seeded the disturbed area alongside the causeway, and re-vegetation has taken hold well. The City of Williams Lake took responsibility for removing the oil tank that supplied the old furnace. Horizon Climate Controls then installed a new 25 kw electric furnace and four-ton air-source heat pump (Energy Star rated). They explained that the heat pump uses chemical refrigerants to extract heat from outdoor air, rather us-

ing fuel to create heat. During warm summer days it will function in reverse and move warm air out of the building to provide cooling. (According to BC Hydro’s website “An Air Source Heat Pump functions by taking the heat from the outside air and moving it indoors. Even at low temperatures [down to -7C] there is enough ambient heat in the outside air to allow the heat pump to efficiently perform this transfer.”) We do need the supplemental electric heat in the coldest weather, but for most of the year we can enjoy moderate

temperatures without burning fossil fuels. Ducting and wiring upgrades and a programmable thermostat put the finishing touches on these longdreamed-of improvements to our heating system. But it wouldn’t make sense to stop there. No matter how good the climate control equipment is, a poorlyinsulated building can’t hold in heat or keep its interior cool. So we had Prato Spray Foam Insulation remove the original pink batts, which had collected significant dust and developed numerous gaps, then spray in ecologically

advanced insulation to create an R45 barrier. Now, all the humans working in and visiting this facility are more comfortable. We’ve also noticed that the aquatic tanks are not overheating as they used to — another energy reduction, as they are mechanically cooled. The generous support of our members and the City of Williams Lake was instrumental in making these improvements possible. Community businesses came through resoundingly too, despite the tough economy we’re experiencing. Williams Lake and District Credit Union,

West Fraser Truckers, Pinnacle Pellet, Heartland Toyota, and Mount Polley Mining Corp, we’re very grateful that you have chosen to help us once again. The W. Garfield Weston Foundation matched all our other funding, so we are very fortunate to have their

Martial artists crowned world champions Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake and Shogun Martial Arts Academy now have youth world champions among their ranks. Regan Miciuk, 9, Isaac Lauren, 11, and Raiden Lainchbury, 9, all represented Williams Lake and Canada at the first-ever TAFISA World Martial Arts Championships, held at the Richmond Olympic Oval on Sept. 5, and all marched away with medals after facing off against competition from around the world. Miciuk started things off for Shogun with a silver medal in kata, a Japanese word for describing detailed choreographed patterns of martial arts movements, before Lauren followed up with a fourth-place finish in kata and a gold medal in his creative weapons category. Raiden, meanwhile, won a gold medal in point fighting, then a bronzemedal in continuous point fighting. “It was pretty cool,” said Shogun Martial Arts Academy Sensei Lee-Ann Lainchbury. “The kids got to stand on the actual Olympic podium. [One of the artists] who designed the Olympic medals designed these ones, so they were pretty nice.” Raiden, the son of Shogun Senseis Lee-Ann and Sheldon Lainchbury, qualified for worlds at the Western Canadian Martial Arts Championships held last October in Burnaby, while both Lauren and Miciuk earned their berth at the BC Open last April. “They were so excited, and we were so excited,” Lee-Ann said. Since the world championships Lee-Ann added all three have been taking their training more seriously and realize how hard work can pay off. “They trained during the summer and it paid off,” she said. “Also they know they can accomplish anything if they work hard enough for it. We were proud of the kids being at worlds and they handled it well. They trusted in what they had trained and how hard they worked and did their best.” Sensei Sheldon echoed LeeAnn, noting it was an eye-opener for the trio of young martial artists. His advice heading into the tournament was that they were there for the experience at the world level, but if they won med-

And, they all got a bonus at least once.”

Mike Lynnes. The event was originally scheduled to be held in June two days prior to Brayden’s injury, but because his family is actively involved with the WLORMA (Brayden’s dad, Brad, is the president), the idea sprung up to postpone the event and commit to a fundraiser. WLORMA vice president Roger Patenaude said originally the idea was to create a Dirty Knobby T-shirt to be sold with all of the proceeds going to the Methot family. “It was Sasha Kokesch that started it,” Roger said. “We were just going to do the T-shirt as a fundraiser but then we

decided to do the whole event.” Lynnes said the idea to sell T-shirts was well-received by the local business community. “Not just with buying advertising on the Tshirts, but a lot of them did spend some time to sell T-shirts at their businesses,” Lynnes said. Sixty-five people took part in this year’s event, which featured three courses: expert, intermediate and beginner courses. Rick Kokesch also hosted a bike rodeo for the younger riders. “That went over really well with the kids,” Patenaude said. “I think 50 per cent or so might have been under 12 or 15 years old.” As for the club, it’s currently working on securing legal trail use and maintenance at the site on the north end of Bull Mountain, located near Springfield Ranch. “They’ve [Springfield Ranch] been really good to us,” Patenaude said. “They let us use an area for the pits, so we’re looking at a recreational use area basically the same as what the mountain bike club has done around town.” And both want to continue to grow the club in the coming years. “We want to get the word out the club is still here,” Lynnes said. “It was kind of an up-anddown year for us for a number of reasons but hopefully next year we can get some more people out and rally around getting a riding area set up for all types of riders.”

Cougars start season on winning note The Northland Dodge Northern Female Major Midget Cougars with Williams Lake’s Chantelle Beadman-Rolph and Victoria Byer faired well in their first league games of the season in Prince George last weekend. Facing the West Coast Avalanche the Cougars recorded two wins and one loss. The Avalanche are expected to be one of the top teams in the league this season after recently doing well

at the Midget Female ‘AAA’ Showcase tournament in Ontario. Game one on Sept. 19 saw the Cougars take a 4-2 victory. Tied after two periods the Cougars opened it up in the third period with two goals to clinch the win. Byer added the game winner after firing a shot past the Avalanche netminder. In game two the Avalanche came out strong and played solidly throughout the game.

www.wltribune.com B3

West Coast goaltender Stephanie Hogg was outstanding, stopping all 30 Cougar shots, to lead the Avalanche to a 5-0 shutout win. Game three saw the Cougars bounce back with a 3-2 victory. Goal scorers Byer, Ava Keis and Beadman-Rolph were the deciding factors in the contest. The Cougars, however, had a 3-0 lead until late in the third period when the Avalanche snuck a pair of goals past Cougars’

goalie Emilie Nichols of Lac La Hache to make it interesting. Next up for the Cougars is a trip to Vernon this weekend, Sept. 26-28, for three league games versus the Thompson/Okanagan Lakers. The Cougars’ next home games will be held Oct. 3-5 when they host the Kootenay Wildcats. For more visit the team website at http:// northercougarsfmm. com.

MEDA, Dan “The life and death of each of us has its influence on others” Dan Meda passed away in Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Vernon, B.C., on Thursday, September 11th, 2014 at the age of 80 years. Dan was born in rural Saskatchewan in March 1934, the 3rd oldest of 10 children. The growing Meda family relocated to the Lower Mainland, then to Vernon, B.C. At the age of 20 Dan was married, and moved to Lac la Hache to start raising his own family. His work in the logging industry eventually took him to Prince George. Retirement from owner/operator of a logging truck saw Dan return to Lac la Hache, where he lived at Kokanee Bay for the last 17 years. Returning to Lac la Hache allowed Dan to fully enjoy fishing, hunting, his raspberry patch and the Hollyhocks growing outside his bedroom window. Dan leaves to mourn: his three daughters: Rubyanne Meda of Revelstoke, Diane Meda (Dan) of Cherryville, Jacki (Adrien) Charest of Lavington; and his son Wayne Meda of Prince George; his stepson, Doug (Sharon) Bryce of Prince George; his grandchildren: Jason (Bev) and great grand daughter Sophia Charest of Lumby; Coralee Charest and great grandchildren Colten and Kristi of Prince George and Kevin Meda of Cherryville; his step granddaughters: Haylea, Brett and Amber Bryce of Prince George; his four sisters: Olga, Joan, Pat, and Iris; his three brothers: Bill, Jim, Jack and their families; plus nieces, nephews, cousins; and his special companion Jeannine LeBlanc (and her family) of Williams Lake. A celebration of life will take place around the Father’s Day weekend & annual fishing derby at Kokanee Bay in Lac la Hache, B.C. in June 2015.
