Police identify homicide victim Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The RCMP have identified 22-year-old Jesse (Delmer) Frank of Williams Lake as the city’s first murder victim of 2015.

Frank’s body was discovered on the ice under the Rudy Johnson

Bridge Friday, Jan. 2.

Frank was a member of the Anaham First Nation, however, he grew up in Williams Lake, Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse told the Tribune.

Alphonse is urging the people responsible for the murder to own up to the crime, adding no one wants

violence in their communities.

“We want our young people to grow up independent and proud.”

While they are not releasing the cause of death, the RCMP said Friday they are investigating the incident as a targeted homicide and are asking the public for information to come up with a timeline,

HOW YOU CAN HELP WITH SNOW REMOVAL Vehicles You can help make snow cleanup more effective and efficient by avoiding parking on residential streets whenever possible, especially the day before your garbage/recycling collection day.

Carts Garbage and recycling carts left on the curb overnight or not removed promptly from the curb after collection impede snow removal operations, and mean cleanup cannot be done thoroughly or efficiently. Residents are asked to have your carts at the curb before 7 a.m on your collection day, and to take them from the curb as soon as possible after collection.

This minimizes the time carts are on the curb, potentially impeding snow removal equipment.

Sidewalks Please remember, it is property owners’ responsibility to clear the sidewalk and windrow in front of your homes and businesses.

NEWS Mount Polley Mine community meetings planned Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Two meetings will provide Likely residents with updates this week on the now fivemonth old Mount Polley Mine Breach.

A meeting scheduled Thursday, Jan. 15, will be a dedicated opportunity for the Soda Creek First Nation and Williams Lake Indian Band to share concerns with Likely residents, said registered biologist Richard Holmes.

Holmes has lived in the Likely area 40 years and done fisheries work in the region since 1981.

He was hired as a consultant for the Soda Creek First Nation prior to the mine breach to look after the band’s mining exploration file.

“We have different outlooks and different expectations than the mine and the government do,” Holmes said. “I think all three communities — Soda Creek, Williams Lake Indian Band and Likely — are very disappointed in the level of action.”

Mine and government officials haven’t been invited to the meeting, although Holmes said he antici-

We have different outlooks and different expectations than the mine and the government do.”

- Biologist and Soda Creek First Nations consultant Richard Holmes pates mine employees will attend because many are Likely residents.

Holmes and seven technical experts who have been working together with the First Nations since the mine breach will share information at Thursday’s meeting.

“Nobody was obviously prepared for this level of disaster and it’s starting to show after five months,” Holmes said. “There has to be more reaction to a disaster of this scope in the future.”

Thursday’s meeting takes place at 5 p.m. at the Likely Hall.

Another meeting was hosted Tuesday, Jan. 13, by Mount Polley Mine Corporation, also at the Likely Hall.

In advance of the meeting, MPMC vice-

president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson said he planned to detail all the work that’s been done since the breach.

“In the initial stages, you do an awful lot of work but it’s hard to see any difference,” Robertson said. “Now it’s at the point where you go away for two weeks and so much has been done.”

The sediment ponds completed at the site last month are releasing non-turbid water into Quesnel Lake from Hazeltine Creek, Robertson said.

Excavation work at the breach site has stripped away material to solid ground and now crews are rebuilding it.

“We’ll see all the material for the breach repair placed quite

quickly and anticipate doing the cut-off wall sometime in February,” he said. “Bentonite, a plastic cement, will be added to the clay for the cut-off wall so it will have some give to it.”

Robertson said the turbidity in Quesnel Lake has been falling and there’s been a “good flush” of the lake during the last month.

“Hopefully the worst is behind us,” he added.

Holmes said Tuesday that Quesnel Lake continues to look creamy, although the level of sediment has subsided.

“We don’t know if it’s a trend or perhaps it will continue to go down or whether or not it’s just a variance in the amount of sediment that’s leaving the lake right now,” he said.

MLAs Donna Barnett and Coralee Oakes speak to Likely residents about water quality following the Mount Polley Mine tailings breach Aug. 4.

Latest water quality results There has been no improvement in the water quality at Quesnel Lake in the area referred to as the Mount Polley mine breach ‘impact zone,’ according to the latest test results.

Released by the Ministry of Environment Tuesday, Jan. 13, the results are from water samples taken from Quesnel River off the Likely Bridge between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2014, and Quesnel River off the Gravelle Ferry Bridge between Nov. 26 and Dec. 17 and are consistent with previous results.

According to the

ministry, water quality at both sample sites show turbidity levels above the B.C. drinking water guidelines and total aluminum above Health Canada drinking water guidelines.

Results for water quality from the Quesnel River off the Gravelle Ferry Bridge show exceedances for total suspended solids, total iron and total phosphorus.

Results for aquatic life at both sample sites show total copper levels and dissolved aluminum above the chronic and acute water quality guidelines. Addition-

ally, results collected from Quesnel River off the Gravelle Ferry site show exceedances for total phosphorus and total chromium above acute water quality guidelines, states the report.

Interior Health reaffirms that all chemical sampling on surface water located outside the impact zone meets safety guidelines.

Mount Polley Mining Corporation will deliver water and install finer filters to residents drawing water from Quesnel Lake during this period of high turbidity.

Mayor and Chief urge those responsible to come forward Continued From Page A1 “I understand unfortunately it was a targeted incident and the public isn’t at risk, but I urge anyone with information to contact the police or Crimestoppers,” Cobb said. “We can

hope that whoever is responsible will be caught and punished.”

Last Friday community and family members held a private drumming ceremony for Frank on the Rudy Johnson Bridge.

His funeral was held Tuesday in Williams Lake.

“It’s a hard time for the family,” Alphonse said.

“They appreciate that most people have respected their privacy. The family and community have also received a lot of support from outlying communities.”

Frank’s death and

the double homicide in Anahim Lake on Boxing Day have made for a difficult holiday season, Alphonse said.

“It really puts this issue of violence on the forefront for us.

It’s an issue that we have to deal with and it’s going to require

everyone’s involvement, not just leadership.”

First Nations youth have to be given the tools needed to stay away from violent activity, he added.

“Drugs are a problem too. They create big city problems in small towns.”

Lakecity property assessments remain stable Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Property assessments in Williams Lake remain stable, according to BC Assessment deputy assessor Darin Johnson.

“Most homes in Williams Lake are remaining stable in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” Johnson said. “Most home owners in Williams Lake will see modest changes in the plus or minus five per cent range.”

Nearly 4,500 properties are contained in the City of Williams Lake Assessment Roll which saw an increase from $1.25 billion last year to $1.27 billion this year.

A total of almost $ 9.4 million of the increase was added through sub-

“We’ve already received a few calls,” Johnson said. “And people have the option of appealing if they aren’t satisfied with the explanation they receive.”

All appeals go to an independent panel that sits Feb. 1 through March 15 to hear concerns and make decisions whether changes to assessments are warranted.

Then at the end of March, BC Assessment will provide a revised assessment roll to local governments who then along with the provincial government set the tax rates.

When asked if the Mount Polley Mine Breach will impact property values on Quesnel Lake, Johnson said BC Assessment

has to follow the market to determine any impacts.

“It is based on sales, so we have to look at what is selling that’s affected and if it is actually changing the value,” he said. “You’d have to have a few sales to actually start to paint a picture whether there’s anything occurring.”

When asked about property sales on Quesnel Lake, Horsefly Realtor Linda Bartsch said it’s been “pretty much business as usual.”

Johnson said the total assessed value for the 2015 assessment roll for 355 waterfront properties located on Quesnel Lake is $67,706,601.

Properties within that roll include the portion of the Quesnel River extending immediately west past the main

bridge, but does not include any properties located as far down as Quesnel Forks and any upland properties located in Likely.

The Cariboo assessment office is located at Suite 202 – 350 Barnard Street in Williams Lake. During the month of January, office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Mystery ring found in the lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Donna Ford of Williams Lake is hoping to solve a mystery.

Several years ago she found a grad ring while raking the reeds at her Signal Point Road home on Williams Lake.

The ring bears the insignia of the 1962 class of the Boys High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. It is solid gold with a synthetic ruby.

The initials J.A.R. are hand engraved on the inside, although the J is pretty worn and could be a G. “I was up to my ankles raking the weeds so we could swim when I found the ring,” Ford said. “I asked around to see if anyone knew someone who had gone to the

A Williams Lake resident is hoping to find the owner of a grad ring from Brooklyn she found in Williams Lake from 1962. school from Williams Lake but no one did.”

Ford even called the school in Brooklyn but wasn’t able to find anything more than the fact the school had merged with a girls school in 1975 and

moved to a different location from where it was first erected in 1891.

Eventually she tucked the ring away and forgot about it.

This summer, however, Ford attended her

50th high school reunion and afterwards she became interested in the ring again and decided to make some inquiries.

“I’m hoping someone will know something,” she told the

Tribune.

When asked if she’d cleaned the ring recently she said it was exactly as she’d found it.

“It was so clean from being in the lake.”

The Fords built their home in 1975 on land previously owned by Roderick Mackenzie that hadn’t been developed.

“It was basically bush,” she said.

Built from 189192 in the BedfordStuyvesant area of Brooklyn, the fourstory Boys’ High School could accomodate 782 students in 22 classrooms.

Some of the famous people who graduated from the Boys High School were Isaac Asimov, Howard Cosell, Norman Mailer and Abraham Maslow.

PM tweets thanks to Operation Red Nose Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper tweeted a thank you to the 52,064 Operation Red Nose volunteers who

provided 76,105 safe rides home to Canadians during the holiday season.

“It’s nice to see kudos to the many Cana-

dian volunteers which 187 are from Williams Lake and one from 100 Mile House that made Operation Red Nose a success again

As the world turns

Ice and snow ... take it slow

Magic show amazes

O

n the global scene: I believe in freedom of the press, but freedom carries with it responsibilities. The freedom of my fist ends at your nose. Freedom of the press/speech is not a licence to fan the fires of hatred.

It’s bad enough that nations can’t get along with each other, and that a few groups are intent on terrorizing the world.

We don’t need humourists, be they cartoonists, film makers, whatever, adding fuel to the fire under the guise of freedom of speech. It shouldn’t be a killing offence, but surely there are enough things in the world to French poke fun at withConnection out being hurtful Diana French or antagonizing people.

Federally: Rookie MP Erin O’Toole, a war veteran, has replaced the unpopular Julian Fantino as Veterans Affairs Minister. Mr. O’ Toole’s first move was to tell an advocacy group for wounded and psychologically injured veterans it is no longer a stakeholder adviser to the Veterans Affairs department.

Provincially: Out of sight is out of mind.

Those of us living in the Interior might not know or care that sea creatures are sick, dying or disappearing at an alarming rate all along the Pacific coast.

There are dying oysters, bleeding herring, melting star fish, hungry Orcas and sick seals. The latest are dead seabirds, hundreds of wee cassin auklet bodies washing up on beaches. Some blame ocean acidification for the devastation, others wonder if it’s radiation fallout from Fukushima. Whatever, it might be helpful to find the cause before all the creatures are gone.

On the local scene: City council has opened the doors on its financial planning process. Along with holding public meetings and having information available online, Finance Chair Scott Nelson is seeking people’s suggestions on how to balance the budget. The city has three choices; raise taxes, dip into reserve funds or cut services. Taxpayers have ample opportunity to indicate their choices. Let’s hope they do.

Our Viewpoint

Finding life’s balance Canadian artist Robert Bateman is certainly not alone in his analysis of modern youth. They need to get out more, he says, to experience the outdoors and get to know nature — rather than spend most of their time in front of computer screens or looking down at their phones or other electronic gadgets.

This, Bateman said, helps young people — even older folks — determine their place in the world and teaches them not only what’s out there but how to think critically about things around them.

For the most part, we certainly agree that broadening one’s horizons gives you more points of reference on which to base your value and beliefs. More people could benefit from spending more time away from the gadgets and interacting with both nature and the people around them.

From our experiences in the Cariboo Chilcotin, plenty of children and adults do get outside. There are preschool field trips that have long lines of little ones taking in

local nature and there are plenty of cycling groups regularly riding the rural roads and the trails of the region during the spring and summer months.

There are people who are getting closer to nature, possibly giving their lives that essential balance between who we are and what we do for a living.

The Cariboo Chilcotin has plenty of examples of people getting out, having fun and even using their spare time to improve all of our lives.

The concerns Bateman has, that too many youth are spending more and more hours in front of computer screens, are valid. Caregivers — physical and mental — warn often of the consequences of cutting oneself off from the outside world.

Having seen youth taking part in outdoor activities and programs, we think people have all the opportunity to explore their world that they could want. On balance, this speaks well of the next generation.

ith freezing rain, ice, snow and slippery roads — driving in winter conditions can be both challenging and frustrating.

The roads and highways in the Cariboo not only help us travel to our destinations — they also serve as the ‘workplace’ for emergency personnel and road maintenance crews who remove debris, repair traffic signals, and sand, salt and plow during weather conditions like the ones we have experienced lately.

As of Jan. 1, ‘Slow Down Move Over’ protection is extended to all vehicles with red, MLA blue or yellow Musings flashing lights stopped on the Donna Barnett side of the road, to signal that there are people working nearby.

On a highway, that means dropping your vehicle’s speed to 70 kilometres an hour or slower.

If the speed limit is 70 kilometres per hour or less, drop to 40 kilometres an hour or slower.

Slowing down gives drivers more time to react in the event that more defensive action is required, helping keep workers safe and setting an example for other drivers to follow.

During the recent snowstorm, I saw firsthand the generosity of pedestrians and motorists who helped those that were stuck in the snow. I saw neighbours shovel each other’s driveways and use patience and caution when driving our roads.

Planning and preparedness are so important.

Carbon fee and dividend offers global warming solution Editor: Is the public mood shifting on climate change?

Polls indicate that people have felt for a long time that global warming is an important issue.

Now it seems they think it’s time we do something about it.

On New Year’s Day I placed a petition on Care2 calling for a Canada-wide referendum on carbon fee-and-dividend.

Within two-and-a-half days there were 100 names on it.

This compares with the seven months it tool to reach 100 names on a similar petition I placed on Care2 in 2013.

The science on climate change is rock solid. Human beings are warming the planet.

The consequences will be serious and they could be catastrophic.

The sooner we act, the better.

James Hansen, one of the world’s leading climate scientists, has advocated carbon feeand-dividend for many years as the best approach to control global warming.

The fee would be similar to a carbon tax, in that it would be charged on fossil fuels at source.

Rather than going into general revenues, however, the money would be distributed as equal and recurring dividends to every adult.

A Canada-wide carbon fee set at the same level as B.C.’s carbon tax of $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide would generate about $20 billion per year — enough to give every adult living in Canada an annual fossil fuel dividend of about $1,000.

Economists estimate that 2/3 of the population would receive more from the dividend than they would pay in carbon fees.

My petition calls for a Canada-wide referendum on carbon fee-and-dividend.

Imposing such a system would be a major step forward and deserves national debate.

In Switzerland (population 8 million), a petition of 100,000 names is enough to bring an important question to national referendum.

In Canada (population 35

million), an equivalent number would be about 400,000.

My petition will be on Care2 for one year — all of 2015.

If we are going to reach the 400,000 target, we will need more than 1,000 names per day.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider putting your name on the petition, and if you would encourage your friends and neighbours to do the same.

I believe that your children and grandchildren will thank you as well.

The URL of the petition is: www.thepetitionsite. com/850/161/365/petition-fora-referendum-on-carbon-feeand-dividend-for-canada/.

The high cost of cheap gasoline Editor: We each enjoy the lower cost of filling up our vehicle; while in our bubble of celebration we can ignore the overall cost ramification for the economy of the worlds countries, including Canada.

With lower oil prices comes the need for fewer workers, I mean the laying off of thousands of employees.

What this can mean for a great percentage of citizens with this loss of taxation is a major cut in what a government has to spend.

I knew a fellow businessman in Alberta back in 19282/83.

He was the owner of a well respected automobile dealership, Alberta was in the throws of a major recession.

I recall almost 300 oil drilling rigs leaving Alberta/Canada.

Business for this man fell to the point of almost nonexistent sales.

Every business exists on a line of

credit.

It was not long before the suppliers of credit started demanding more and more money from him.

Don’t panic just keep anteing up the cash, he borrowed against his personal assets including his home until there was nothing more he could borrow against, the stress of all of this caused him at age 46 to have a massive heart attack, and my friend died.

The moral of this story is that there is a time when it is necessary to cut your losses. My friend kept hoping that things would soon improve and his dealership could survive.

This is a similar situation countries like Greece, Italy and Spain found themselves in, during their recent recessions.

However, these countries under pressure from other banking countries had to cut their losses by laying off thousands of em-

ployees, cutting pension plans, reducing welfare payments. So reassurances from Canada’s finance Minister Joe Oliver, is no guarantee that there will not be some adjustments as to how Canada doles out its money as the source of taxes dries up.

Oil rich Socialist Venezuela which has depended upon its oil resources to keep its socialist dream alive has a financial break even point on the price of oil at $121 per barrel; you can imagine what is going to happen here, if the price stays very long at $50 or less, possibly in Spanish, a revolución.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN)

NEWS Lieutenant Governor sponsors youth environment program Tom Fletcher Black Press Inspired by her holistic ranching background, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon has launched a province-wide environmental education program for high school teachers and youth leaders.

Stewards of the Future offers grants of up to $800 per group to cover field trips, fees for programs and guesstspeakers, equipment and teacher release time for projects.

It is offered for students from grades 9-12, First Nations educators, 4-H, Guide and Scout groups and environment clubs, with an application deadline of Jan. 23 for the spring program.

that affect our natural surroundings.”

Program partners, including the education ministry and B.C. Parks, offer support for projects such as research on invasive species leading to mapping and removal.

The Stewards of the Future toolkit emphasizes hands-on “place-

based” experience to appreciate and enhance biodiversity.

Guichon and her late husband Lawrence Guichon are credited with pioneering holistic management in the B.C. cattle industry, emphasizing preservation of natural grassland on their historic Merritt-area ranch.

Holistic management, developed by African biologist and game ranger Allan Savory, overturned the long-held belief that overgrazing is the result of too many animals.

Savory proved that reducing the number of animals doesn’t restore grasslands, which developed in the presence of large herds that were kept closely bunched and moving to avoid predators.

Planned grazing mimics that pattern and gives grasslands time to recover.

Details and application forms for the Stewards of the Future program are available at the Lieutenant Governor’s website, www. ltgov.bc.ca Guichon intends to visit programs in the province and incorporate an awards program for participants.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

LNG plans continue in 2015 despite oil slump Tom Fletcher Black Press The shakeout of liquefied natural gas proposals for B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert moving ahead and smaller projects changing or withdrawing plans.

ExxonMobil and its Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil have filed a detailed description with B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office, planning for a city-owned site on Tuck Inlet north of Prince Rupert Harbour.

One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) proposes up to five floating barges for LNG loading with onshore support facilities, and an estimated capital cost of $15-25 billion. WCC LNG plans to start construction by 2017 and be in service by 2024.

WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert area, where the larger of B.C.’s 18 current LNG export proposals are also claiming sites.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says 2015 is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas producers.

“New drilling activity in our upstream sector demonstrates investors remain confident in B.C.’s longterm natural gas potential,” Coleman said in a New Year commentary released last week. “One of

our province’s largest Crown land sales in history occurred near the end of 2014, with industry contributing more than $209 million for exploration right alone.”

Proponents of Aurora LNG Grassy Point near Prince Rupert withdrew that application to start the year, focusing on another site at Digby Island.

Also withdrawn is the Farrell Creek raw gas processing plant north of Hud-

son’s Hope, a project taken over by Chinese-owned Progress Energy. Progress is a partner with PETRONAS in Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, with its investment decision postponed indefinitely late last year amid changing global energy supply and demand.

Woodfibre LNG near Squamish is another small-scale project moving ahead, with its application for B.C. environmental as-

sessment accepted at the end of 2014.

The public comment period closed for another large-scale proposal, the Shell-led LNG Canada proposal for Kitimat.

The pest management methods proposed for use include physical (non-chemical) treatment methods (selective slashing, girdling, hand pulling, weed trimming, mowing, pruning, geotextiles and stump removal), the release of biological control agents (insects), cultural control methods (grass seeding), and the use of pesticides (herbicides). The common name (and examples of trade names) of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid, aminocyclopyrachlor, chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Transline), 2-4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex),flumioxazin, fluroxpyr, glyphosate (Roundup, Roundup Weathermax, Glyphos, Vantage, Vantage Plus), hexazinone (Velpar), indaziflam, imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuronmethyl, picloram (Tordon 22K), simazine (Simadex, Princep) and triclopyr (Garlon 4 or Garlon Ultra). Application methods include: foliar, soil, wick/wipe-on and cut surface, using backpack, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle, injection tools and handgun (power hose and nozzle).

The proposed duration of the PMP is from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined online at fortisbc.com or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice and before February 13, 2015.

Mt. Timothy Apres Ski Party dances into the New Year The first of what the Mt. Timothy Ski Society and Ski Patrol hopes becomes an annual tradition, the Mt. Timothy Apres Ski Party on New Year’s eve, was a success.

More than 105 people attended and danced the night away until 2 a.m. on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.

The event helped raise $6,463 through donated silent and live auction items, while in total the fundraiser brought in just over $8,000 for the ski hill and Ski Patrol.

Guests were treated to a buffetstyle dinner, a silent auction and a live auction, plus a DJ-hosted dance during the evening.

“It was a great evening,” said one of the event organizers, Sheila Boehm. “It was lots of fun and everyone was very generous.”

The Mt. Timothy Ski Society and Ski Patrol said thanks to all the hard work of the volunteers and the generosity of all the local businesses and individuals who made donations, the event was enjoyed by all.

As National Family Literacy Week approaches, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy president Bruce Mack says there is much work to be done to help those who struggle with literacy in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

“For most of us, it’s hard to image going through a day not being able to read a menu or a newspaper,” says Mack. “To not have those skills is pretty limiting –– reading really opens up our world.”

In partnership with the CCPL, the Williams Lake Tribune is preparing to publish its annual Reach a Reader edition later this month.

“The objective of the campaign is to help people understand the importance of literacy but also reduce the stigma surrounding it.

It’s still a big factor.”

Mack says struggles with lit-

Mural workshop deadline The Cariboo Arts Society is sponsoring a mural workshop with local artist Dwayne Davis later this month. The workshop, set to run Jan. 24 and 25 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., will be held at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre and will teach students how to take a small image to a mural.

There is room for a maximum of 12 participants who will work in teams of three to create a mural.

Those interested must be registered by Jan. 17 and are encouraged to take part in a planning session Jan. 17 from 10 a.m. to noon.

CAS President Cat Prevette said art from the workshop will be displayed in the Society’s May show at the Station House Art Gallery titled Collaboration - Paint it Forward. Cost for the two-day workshop is $120 each.

Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy prepares for Family Literacy Week Angie Mindus Staff Writer

COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK

eracy can be felt in all age groups and demographics; from students in school, to adults in the workforce and even seniors.

“It’s quite pronounced. In Canada more than 40 per cent of adults struggle with essential skills of literacy and basic math.”

Mack suspects that percentage could be even higher in the Cariboo Chilcotin.

“Kids are passing through our educational systems without the skills they need,” he said.

“It’s frustrating. It takes a lot of one on one time to help students struggling with literacy and teachers just don’t have the resources.”

CCPL delivers several programs in the community to improve literacy including; the Bright Red Bookshelves, Books for Babies, Partner Assisted Learning and more.

They also have partnerships with School District 27 and Thompson Rivers University.

Response overwhelming for Winter Carnival What started out as a conversation on Facebook about how there was nothing to do in the city during the winter months, has snowballed into a fullblown winter carnival.

Set to take place Jan. 31 and Feb 1, the first ever Williams Lake Winter Carnival will see Boitanio Park transformed into a winter wonderland of festivities over two days with horse drawn sleigh rides, face painting, warming huts, igloo building, a chilli cook-off, a cross-country ski trail, snow shoeing, snow art and a large sledding hill –– and that’s just to name a few of the activities planned.

“We’ve had an overwhelming response,” said Darrick Boyes, one of the carnival’s organizers. “It’s going to be great.”

Boyes said a team of enthusiastic volunteers has been meeting to plan the event, while many businesses

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Reference Number 2015-2020 PMP In accordance with the requirements of the British Columbia Integrated Pest Management Act and its regulation, the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations’ programs Forests for Tomorrow (FFT), Cariboo-Chilcotin District Stewardship and BC Timber Sales (BCTS), is proposing development of a Pest Management Plan (PMP) to spray herbicide within portions of the Quesnel and Cariboo-Chilcotin Forest Districts.

Every winter, the City of Williams Lake makes prompt and efficient snow removal a priority. During the recent snowfalls, the City has had every available piece of equipment on the streets to clear snow from roads and sidewalks.

Under the City’s Snow and Ice Control Policy, priority is given to the downtown core, where the objective is to have snow plowed, windrowed, and trucked away between 8 and 24 hours after a snow event. Within each of the City’s five snow removal zones, there are three areas with three different levels of priority. These roads will be the first to be plowed and treated following a snow event.

Residential areas will be plowed and windrowed for cleanup. This procedure will take approximately 2496 hours to complete following the cleanup of the downtown core and will be done in conjunction with the solid waste collection route. Residents are asked to put garbage and recycling carts on the curb the morning of their collection day, not the night before, and to remove them from the curb as soon as possible following collection. Residents are also asked not to park cars overnight on City streets when there is snow. City Bylaws contain provisions to tow vehicles that interfere with snow removal operations at the owner’s expense.

Snow clearing of City sidewalks, parking lot stairs, walkways and public transit bus stops may be cleaned within 8 – 24 hours after a storm where the City receives 5 centimeters of snow or more. In cases of extreme snow events, City staff assigned to other duties will be assigned to assist in snow clearing operations. Property owners are required to clear sidewalks and windrows in front of their property, and are asked to refrain from pushing snow into the street, which creates a safety issue and slows down snow clearing operations.

coming together. It’s all about bringing a free event to the community,” Boyes said.

“We have the winter, we just didn’t have the carnival.”

Boyes said there are so many good ideas for carnival events, such as snowmobile races and outdoor curling, that a list has already been started to grow future carnivals.

“Next year the sky’s the limit.”

Boyes said volunteers are still needed for set-up and takedown of the carnival.

For more information about the event, how to donate, or to volunteer, please e-mail organizers at wlwintercarnival@hotmail. com.

This PMP outlines how FFT, Cariboo-Chilcotin District Stewardship and BCTS will use an integrated approach in controlling competing vegetation that may inhibit plantation establishment and optimal growth and development of crop trees.

The proposed PMP will apply to areas within the Quesnel and Cariboo-Chilcotin Forest Districts—including areas outside the communities of Quesnel, Wells, Williams Lake, Likely, Horsefly, McLeese Lake, Big Lake and 150 Mile House.

The proposed methods for pesticides application will be backpack including foliar, cone spray, broadcast, cut stump and basal bark. The use of pesticide is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan applies. The duration of the proposed PMP will be May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020.

The following pesticides are proposed for the use in the areas to which the PMP applies: • • • • • •

Trade Name: Vision Active Ingredient: Glyphosate 35.6% PCP No.: 19899 Trade Name: Vision MAX Active Ingredient: Glyphosate 54.0% PCP No.: 27736 Trade Name: Garlon™ XRT Active Ingredient: Triclopyr 75.5% PCP No.: 28945 Trade Name: Garlon™ RTU Active Ingredient: Triclopyr 14.4% PCP No.: 29334 Trade Name: Vantage™ Active Ingredient: Glyphosate 35.6% PCP No.: 26884 Trade Name: Weed-Master™Glyphosate Forestry Herbicide Active Ingredient: Glyphosate 35.6% PCP No.: 29009

Copies of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed area are available to the public by calling Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Williams Lake at the address below, or by contacting Tanja Armstrong Whitworth and/or Darcy Lillico at 200640 Borland St., Williams Lake, B.C., V2G 4T1 (tel. 250 398-4574) to make arrangements.

A person wishing to contribute information about the proposed treatment sites relevant to the development of the Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

LeRae Haynes Special to Tribune/Advisor The 2014 fundraising poppy campaign at the Williams Lake Legion Branch 139 was a huge success, according to volunteer campaign chair Joe Bazan.

The sale of poppies, wreaths and crosses leading up to Remembrance Day, combined with generous community donations resulted in $23,000 being raised to support local veterans and members of the armed forces currently serving.

It also helps their widows and depen-

dants, according to Cariboo Legion Zone Commander Vivian Macneil, who explained the Legion poppy fund fills in the cracks left by Veterans Affairs.

“We help with things like a bus ticket, emergency food, a broken household appliance, dentures, hearing aids or a wheelchair,” she said. “Anything to help them in time of need.”

Any veteran or member of the allied forces in any war, as well as an RCMP member, is eligible for help — from Second World War and peace keeping maneuvers, Korea and Afghanistan.

Macneil added that through the poppy fund the Legion can also support Cadets.

“With a special application we can also do things for the community out of this fund.

We have done things like purchase a recliner for the Senior Centre for someone doing foot care, furnish a room at the old Cariboo Lodge and donate to many fund-raising efforts for the hospital.”

Bazan noted that poppy campaigns were up all across the country this year, in part due to the tragedy of the soldiers killed in Canada this year: Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent,

Joe Bazan, poppy campaign chair at the Williams Lake Legion, says that this year’s campaign was an unqualified success that raised $23,000 for local veterans and their families.

53, who died a day after being run down in Quebec and 24-year-old Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, gunned down in Ottawa at the national cenotaph.

Bazan explained that the campaign has specified times determined

by Dominion Command in Ottawa — a short window between Oct. 28 and Nov. 11.

Besides the poppies there were 138 wreaths and 70 crosses committed this year.

“Leading up to the official campaign, volunteers canvass last year’s list and talk to new additions, asking if they want to subscribe to a wreath, a cross or poppies.

“The campaign itself starts with the first poppy ceremony where the Mayor of Williams • • • • • •

Lake is presented with one,” he continued.

“After that, the wreaths, crosses and poppies are distributed.

“About 250 volunteer hours go into the poppy campaign, besides help from the Legion staff and directors and ladies auxiliary.

We rarely hear a ‘no’ — most are so glad to help.”

Cadets are one of the groups who distribute poppies during the campaign.

“They are very actively linked to Remembrance Day and are very visible during the campaign – canvassing locations where we have wreaths, poppies and crosses for an entire city. They blitz the city in uniform. We provide all the supplies and feed them lunch

during that weekend, and also support them with funds throughout the year,” he explained.

The Legion’s objective is that everyone wears a poppy, according to Bazan, who said that 100 per cent of the funds raised by the poppy campaign stay in our local community.

“What this successful campaign says about Williams Lake is that people realize it’s important to remember.

We have local kids going to war to preserve a way of life that we’re used to, and that matters to people here.

The turnouts at the Remembrance Day ceremonies at the cenotaph at City Hall increases every year and our local schools put on great Remembrance Day events,” he stated.

“I wanted to get involved with the poppy campaign because it was such a big part of my dad’s life. He fought in World War II in the Navy; Remembrance Day was so big for him.

I wanted to continue that,” he said.

“I carry a poppy in my vehicle year round because of my dad.”

suspension but the S model does run on 20-inch wheels and tires making it feel very connected to the road. This will not be the choice of traditional luxury buyers; they will like the more upscale 300C for grand touring.

Verdict Starting at $37,395 and maxing out at $45,295 for an AWD platinum V6 model, there are many trims to choose (V8 equipped cars run roughly $2,000 more).

The base is the value leader, the S is the sporty model, with standard 20-inch wheels, and the 300C Platinum is the one featuring the opulent interior. Chrysler believes that the S model will be the volume leader thanks to the aggressive black trim and chunky wheels. This is a surprise because the Dodge Charger is based on the same platform and has the whole “bad boy” attitude in spades, something the 300 looks to be mimicking. The top Platinum would be my choice because it’s interior is so different from the Dodge, something that truly separates the two cars plus it has all the latest safety features including the autonomous braking system when a crash is detected. Much has changed in 10 years for the 300 but the same goodness that was in the 2005 model is still here; it is the refinement that makes this a modern sedan.

OnStar: A 10th generation

Super Cruise will also add a new lane-centering technology that relies on forward-looking cameras and other sensors to detect markings, curves and other road characteristics. It will also use a series of alerts to communicate with the driver based on human factor research conducted on test tracks.

A simulator is also being used to measure driver eye glance behavior and control interactions in computer-generated automated driving situations.

A combination of radar, ultrasonic sensors, cameras and GPS map data are used

by Super Cruise to provide 360 degrees of crash risk detection bubble around the vehicle and enhanced driver assist features. Super Cruise is still undergoing real-world driving assessments and is expected to make its way into Cadillac production models in 2017.

takes vehicle operation to the brink of automation, AcuraWatch is a suite of driver-assist technologies that’s offered in the Technology and Elite editions of the new Acura TLX. An interesting new tech included in this package is the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF).

Unlike other systems of this ilk, it uses both grille-mounted (millimeter-wave) radar and a windshield mounted camera to monitor and maintain a preset vehicle speed and following distance interval to the vehicle directly ahead.

The Low-Speed Follow feature is designed primarily for use in stop and go traffic. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, the TLX will also come to a stop.

If the vehicle ahead then moves within 3 seconds, the TLX will automatically resume Low-Speed Follow mode. If the vehicle ahead does not move within 3 seconds, then the driver can resume Low Speed Follow by pressing the “RES” switch up or down, or by taping the gas pedal.

Other systems included in the AcuraWatch package include Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and Cross Traffic Monitor, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation and Blind Spot Information.

of GM’s OnStar telematics system with 4G LTE has been rolled out in most of its 2015 model year vehicles. It basically turns the vehicle into a WiFi hotspot that allows occupants to connect up to seven personal devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets etc.) and have them work just like they do at home.

The 4GLTE feature also enhances OnStar’s array of safety and security services and provides a more personal experience as the OnStar agent can stay on the line as they manage the vehicle data interface.

A new addition is remote diagnostic, which provides a customer with a monthly health status on their vehicle and it can also assist with arranging a maintenance appointment.

A clever smartphone app, called OnStar RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allows an owner to lock or unlock doors, activate the horn and lights, and remotely start a properly-equipped vehicle.

It’s included free for five years. OnStar is standard in all 2015 GM vehicles and advisors currently respond to approximately 185,000 calls every day.

All three technologies are competing for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award, which will be announced at the Montreal Auto Show on January 15, 2015.

The GM Super Cruise is likely to be the first automated driving feature.

By Bob McHugh

“Take me home Super Cruise” could be a command that future Cadillac owners may be saying to their automobile, in the not too distant future.

GM’s luxury brand seems

likely to be first automaker to offer a fully automated driving feature in a production vehicle. Super Cruise is one of three entries vying for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award.

driving technology that will (or can) allow hands-offthe-wheel lane following, braking and speed control, in certain highway driving situations. The goal of this technology is to increase the comfort of an attentive driver on freeways, both in bumper-to-bumper traffic and on long road trips.

The claimed safety value of Super Cruise is that it could mitigate many traffic collisions and improve traffic congestion. The system sends and receives basic safety information such as location, speed and direction of travel between vehicles that are approaching each other. It will warn drivers and can supplement active safety features, such as forward collision warning, already available on many production cars.

Canucks host third annual tournament Greg Sabatino Staff Writer An annual Christmas tradition continued this year as the Cariboo Canucks hockey club hosted its third annual First Nations hockey tournament.

Four divisions consisting of 16 teams from around the province — competitive, masters, recreation and women’s — made up the tournament, held late December at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex.

In the competitive final it was Prince George’s Big Guy Lake beating last year’s runner up and host of the division, the Cariboo Canucks, 5-2 to win the tournament’s first-place prize money of $3,000. In third place were the Kootenay Wolfpack.

Tournament organizer and Canucks member Cecil Grinder said the final game was tightly contested, and gave credit to the team’s two young netminders, Christian Stump and Matt Brennar.

“Christian played a phenomenal game against Big Guy Lake before the finals,” Grinder said. “A lot of these young players coming up, they’re awesome for the future.”

In the women’s division it was the Kamloops Dirtbags brining home the championship, while the local Cariboo Stars, finished second after a 3-2 loss in the final.

“Our women’s hockey, it’s picking up quite a bit with lots of our younger girls playing midget rep,” Grinder said. “A big thanks to them and a pat on the back for making this a success for our young women coming up.”

Meanwhile the Williams Lake Longhorns defeated the Alkali Renegades in the master’s division, while the Anaham Athabaskans upended the United Native Nations (Ulkatcho) to claim the recreation division crown.

“Overall it was a really good turnout,” Grinder said. “All the divisions were full and it was a successful tournament thanks to the volunteers that made everything run smoothly. Fan turnout was a big thing for our local people.”

The best fan awards, awarded to Rachel Hance and Jerry Elkins, came a result of the late Norman Alphonse, who won the award the first year of the tournament.

Alphonse and his late brother, Rapheal Alphone, were paid tribune to in this year’s tournament program.

For Grinder and his community, however, the event is about much

Debbie Brettell shows her delight in her first ever win in her first turkey shoot, which took place on New Year’s Day at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association. Brettell is a beginner shooter and a great addition to the sport.

Turkey shoot rings in New Year Snow and a light touch of freezing rain were no deterrents when it came to having fun on New Year’s Day, and fun is what 36 men, women and children had at the annual New Year’s turkey trap shoot.

Shooters came from north and south to test their skills in 28 events at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Association shotgun range.

Some were new to the sport while others had many years of shooting experience behind them. All of them had a chance to have fun, and maybe

win a prize.

They were divided into three classes, with nine ranked as novices, 14 as intermediate and 15 as experts, with turkeys, bacon, pork chops and liquid refreshments as prizes.

Top shooters in the expert class with two wins a piece in individual events were Bill Chapman, Mathew Morgan, Randy Morgan, Gord Johnston, Adam Veley and Dave Rogal. Other expert winners with one win a piece were Jim Feeley, Sam Davis, Jeremy Schmid, Gary Martin and Reid Williston.

and Gary Martin.

The second crowdpleaser was a bushwhacker, with top guns Jim Feeley, George Ostoforoff and Dave Rogal.

Gary Martin and Jim O’Brien won the first buddy shoot with a perfect 10, and Lloyd Como and Dave Rogal also had a perfect 10 to win the second buddy shoot.

Gord Johnston and Brett Bradshaw teamed up to win the third buddy shoot in a shoot-off with Adam Veley and Roxanne Bambrick.

Both teams scored nine in the first round.

The Mt. Timothy New Year’s Fundraisers would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to:

Brett Bradshaw led the intermediate class with two wins, while D. J. Elzinga, Jenna Brink, Lloyd Como and Jim O’Brien took home a prize apiece.

Brayden Feeley, Debbie Brettell and Bev Bradshaw were winners in the novice events.

Twenty-six shooters from all classes lined up for the first novelty event, known as an Annie Oakley shoot.

Winners were Gary Martin, Adam Veley, Ernie Stuart and Ernie Schmid. The second Annie had two winners, Reid Williston

Skiers brave cold at BC Teck Cup Frigid temperatures didn’t deter five members of the Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club from giving it their all Jan. 3-4 during race one of the BC Teck Cup in Prince George.

“This was a twoday race at Otway, which has been recently upgraded to host the Canada Winter games coming up in February,” said Lisa Seabourne who, alongside Grace Turner, Livia Seabourne, Cooper Seabourne and Cole Turner, competed at the event.

“It was a great opportunity to see and try out the upgraded national level ski trains and new facility.”

On Saturday Grace brought home a fifthplace finish in the pee wee 400-metre classic sprint.

Livia and Cooper, meanwhile, came in second and fifth, respectively, in the

atom 200-metre classic sprint.

Cole competed in four exciting events, Lisa said, in the 400-metre sprint providing spectators something to cheer for and to talk about.

“He finished fifth in the qualifying round and then proceeded to dominate the next to sprint heats,” Lisa said.

“During the ‘A’ final sprint he was initially first and then fell allowing the two other competitors to pass him, but he made up time on the hill and was then caught in a tangle of skis but was able to finish in third overall.”

Lisa added coaches from other race teams competed on how fast Cole’s recovery speed was up the steep hill.

On Sunday, despite -18C temperatures, Cole finished in third place in the 3.3-kilometre free skate.

Lisa also completed the 7.4-kilometre free skate.

Catherine Susan Gorrie (Susie), of McLeese Lake, BC, passed away on December 17, 2014, at the age of 53.

She is survived by her loving husband Mike Searls; children Doug Gorrie of Grasmere, BC, Tiffany Weed and Derek Weed of Cranbrook, BC; step-daughters Amanda Searls and Meagan Searls; grandchildren Raylin, Clayton, and Annebelle; sister Angela (Gorrie) Paradis; half-sister Sadie (Phillips) Salloway and half brother Victor Phillips. Predeceased

by Douglas Gorrie (father), Mary (Gravelle Phillips) Gorrie, half brother Sonny Phillips and half sisters Gloria (Phillips) Trahan and Sally (Phillips) Enas.

Susie was born July 6, 1961 in Fernie, BC and was raised in Grasmere, BC. After marrying Virgil Weed and having three children, she lived in the same area, then Barriere and Sparwood, making good friends every place she went. After separating she moved to the 108 Mile Ranch in 2002 with husband Mike Searls, then to McLeese Lake in 2012.

Susie loved to laugh and could usually find a way to make other people laugh. She spent lots of time outdoors and loved hunting and fishing, as long as the fish were biting.

A sparkle in her eye and a laugh on her lips.

We miss you Susie.

Susie loved kids - anyone who saw her around them could see that.

If you want to donate, any of the children’s charities would be nice.

With great sadness we announce the passing of Manfred Paul Dachsel who died peacefully in his home, with his loving wife at his side, on January 3, 2015. Born in Eilenburg, Germany on February 12, 1937, he is survived by his wife Gwen, daughters Karena with husband Nazim, and Marita with husband Kevin, grandchildren Atticus, Avner and Harriet, sisters Christa, Helga, Elfriede, Petra and Barbara, brothers-in-law and many nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his son Dean, brothers Erhart and Deiter, his mother Paula, father Erhart and stepmother Lise-Lotte.

Manfred was a complex man with strong convictions and a cheeky smile. Never one to accept the status quo, at age 16 he left the only home he knew and escaped what had become East Germany, leaving his family behind, only to return once for a brief visit ten years later, and then not again until 2006, 2008 and 2011.

After working in West Germany and Switzerland, he made his way to Canada, first to Kitchener and eventually to Williams Lake where he married a teacher from New Zealand and stayed to raise a family.

An avid outdoorsman, he loved to camp, fish and hunt. Some of the family’s best memories are from fishing at Bella Coola where he’d catch salmon the size of his daughters or camping at Quesnel Lake where they’d spend hours on the boat, enjoying the once pristine beauty.

He seemed most alive, most happy when he was in the rugged BC wilderness, which for him seemed to be the embodiment of freedom.

He was a jack-of-all-trades, working as a machinist, welder, carpenter, and at an abattoir. He had an uncanny ability to fix almost anything with what he had around the house.

Although he was more of a strong-silent type, he enjoyed going for coffee or beer with friends, and later in life, playing his luck at the casino.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Fedor, the staff of Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Community Health Services Home Support for their compassionate care, in particular Faye, Arianne, Kim and Melissa.

Manfred was never one for attention, so at his request there will not be a public service. He will be interred at the Williams Lake cemetery at a later date in a small, private ceremony.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust.

Our son Scott was the middle son of the “Grady Boys”. Scott was born August 27, 1974 in Maple Ridge B.C. where he lived with us and older brother Ryan. We then moved to Quesnel for two years where Chad joined the family. When Scott was four years old we moved to Nelson and the boys became the Grady Bunch, “Which one is he?”.

Scott was smart, funny, intuitive and sensitive. He loved playing with his brothers: bike riding, hiking and so much more. But Scott hated getting dirty; when there was yard work to be done, Scott would volunteer to make drinks and lunch for everyone. He found skiing to be very clean, so it was his forté - and he loved it. He attended Thompson Rivers University where he received a diploma in Adventure Tourism. He worked guiding for many different skiing operations and ended up settling in Revelstoke working for Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing. He married and had a son Micah, now three years old. Scott was a stay at home dad during the summer; he loved this and was one of the proudest dads ever. On July 31, 2014, Isla, a daughter, was born another love of his life.

Scott was a best friend to many of us. He was strong, funny, knowledgeable and most of all generous. On November 7, 2014 he gave his own life, because of his depression - not to hurt others - but only to help.

We would like to thank everyone who was there for Scott and his family during the difficult times. Hopefully Scott’s legacy will be that we are all more understanding of mental health problems and do what we can to help each other. We all want - mental happiness remember him often - remember him well.

Thanks again, The Gradys: Peter and Sylvia; Ryan and Tera (Olen and Izzy), Williams Lake; Chad and Kari (Hnatiuk), Nelson; and Emily (Micah and Isla), Revelstoke.

Elsenheimer,

Charlotte finally succumbed to a many-years battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Charlotte was predeceased by her husband, Patrick, seven younger siblings: Roy, George, John, Lester, Russell, Don and Reg and four children: Janice, John, Don and Lois. She will be fondly remembered by her surviving family: siblings Doug, Stuart and Eileen; children Larry, Sharon, Sue, Linda and Debbie; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends.

At this time we would like to thank the staff at the Seniors’ Village for the years of wonderful, compassionate care they selflessly provided.

A Celebration of Life will be announced for Charlotte at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society.
