NEWS Tsilhqot’in move forward on rights and title law Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Last week the 25-year-old Nemiah Declaration was enacted as law which means the use of resources within the Nemiah Valley Aboriginal Preserve will only happen with First Nation involvement, said Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William Monday.

“In our declaration it says you are more than welcome to come

into our territory and caretaker area and if you need to use some of our resources we have permits and licenses to help you go through that,” William told the Tribune during an interview. “It also says that nothing’s going to happen inside the Xeni Gwet’in caretaker area and inside the Tsilhqot’in territory without our involvement.”

The declaration being made into law follows

the Supreme Court of Canada judgement in June 2014 that recognized Aboriginal title to approximately 1,900 square kilometres of land in the Chilcotin.

Without hesitation, Anaham Chief Joe Alphonse described it as a unique situation.

“It’s the only one of its kind in all of Canada and internationally we’re probably the only Indigenous group that owns title,” Alphonse said. “We own that title

land.”

Enacting the declaration as law is an acknowledgement of the work that was done in 1989, taking it one step further and declaring it as law and giving all of those who were involved credit, Alphonse added.

“They are laws they’ve already been living by out there,” he said, adding there will be more laws to come.

“These are just baby steps. Land-use plan-

ning and all of the other stuff that comes with owning land has to be worked out while at the same time we’re trying to negotiate a larger settlement with the province and the federal government.”

Originally the declaration was developed in the 1980s after Chief Annie C. William, former chief Adam William and Roger who was on council heard concerns from elders about forest industry

activities in the Nemiah Valley.

“Elders had a lot of concern and what they were seeing was impact to their culture and places they couldn’t recognize anymore because of industry,” William said.

“This declaration was put in place to protect our lands and resources, our culture, our way of life and Aboriginal rights and title.”

The Nemiah Declaration was almost like

a constitution, William explained. When people were elected to the band council they had to follow it.

As a result of the declaration there were road blocks and court cases, all culminating in June’s Supreme Court decision.

Talks continue with the provincial government as the two sides hash out the letter of understanding signed six months ago, William said.

“When Trent left he gave Carey a big hug.

I think it was nice for him to connect with Carey like that. Trent’s kind of shy, and Carey probably sees a lot of himself in Trent — he’s not a big talker, either.”

The glass tile bench, which was created by Brogan’s parents, internationally-renowned artist Marina Papais and master woodworker Daniel Collett, depicts a large sun rising over Anahim Peak symbolizing Price’s inception. Further right on the bench is a large glass star made of a reflective mirror, symbolizing Price’s success.

“The idea for this was so the students could look into the star and see their own faces,” Brogan said.

“It’s been a huge thing for the community out here, and it was really neat how we were able to tie in our school art project.”

Susan gave a speech to staff and students following a viewing of the video at ALEJSS on Monday.

“I just let the class know if Carey could do what he’s done as a goalie for Montreal they need to reach out and be like Carey,” she said.

“For Trent, he wants to get out and do more things, but time will tell when he’s ready.

He’s started to do more sports — he’s playing floor hockey, he’s playing soccer which he enjoys. Today, I think he’s ready.”

For those in Anahim Lake Brogan encourages anyone to stop by the school to view the bench, now on permanent display at the front entrance. He also hopes more schools will see what a benefit the BCC program is and will apply.

The film, produced by Tara Johns and directed by Jeremie Levesque, along with an editor, multiple cameramen and a sound technician, can be viewed at https://youtu. be/4m3ky6Mw28k In just five days the video has reached almost 200,000 views on YouTube.

Students move Price with hand-crafted cards Continued From Page A1 Filming for the project, funded by the Air Canada Foundation and a part of the hit Montreal reality show, 24/7 CH, lasted roughly a month.

Once in Montreal Trent, who flew first class with ALEJSS principal Mikel Brogan and the film crew, personally delivered a poster of a school art project — a wood and glass tile bench consisting of aspects of the Ulkatcho culture and incorporating Price — plus handmade cards from all the kids at the school showing their appreciation to their hero during an on-ice session.

Trent and Brogan, along with Carey’s wife, Angela, and the founder of the BCC, Daniel Germaine, later watched Price earn first star honours against the Nashville Predators.

“I took Trent in when he was five,” Susan said. “He had it really rough … lots of hardships in his

Tara Johns photo

Anahim Lake Elementary/Junior Secondary School students and staff included this picture on a poster that was hand delivered to Montreal Canadiens goaltender and Breakfast Club of Canada national ambassador Carey Price by the school’s BCC ambassador, Trent Leon.

The wood and glass tile bench was part of a school art project. childhood. He kept to himself but now with everything that’s happened I think it opened his heart and eyes. “[In the short film] I could tell he was comfortable with Carey playing hockey. It made him proud to be there for the students

and see what Carey’s doing for their school.”

Viewers weren’t the only ones moved by the story — Carey himself was visibly touched when Trent, who says few words throughout the project, is excited to give the hockey star a gift in return.

During the film Susan encourages Trent to become more outspoken, and when he does, the expression left on Price’s face while reading the handmade cards is emotional.

“While watching the game Angela men-

tioned how she and Carey had a long discussion about the card and the project the day before and how much it meant to him the students and staff would go through so much effort to extend their appreciation to him,” Brogan said.

NEWS Covenant blocks mall grocery store Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled in favour of Overwaitea Food Group and ordered the Registrar of Land Titles to re-register a restrictive covenant that prohibits a grocery store from going into Boitanio Mall.

The order was part of a ruling Justice Barry Davies delivered on March 13, 2015, after hearing the case between Overwaitea Foods and BC Retail and Janda Group Holdings on Feb. 5 and 6, 2015, in Vancouver.

In his summary of events, Davies wrote

that in 2012 the principals of Janda Group began discussions with Loblaw Properties West Inc. (Loblaw’s) regarding the possibility of leasing the space that was then occupied

by Zeller’s.

“Those discussions led to negotiations between Janda and Loblaw’s that culminated in a letter of intent for Loblaw’s to lease space dated May 15, 2013 providing for Loblaw’s to take possession of the space to be leased in January of 2014 and to commence renovations with an anticipated opening of a grocery store in the spring of 2014,” Da-

vies noted.

The posting of signs

by Janda at the Shopping Centre in late 2013 notifying the public of the upcoming presence of a national retail store resulted in Overwaitea becoming aware of the intended use of the BC Retail Lot would contravene the restrictive covenant.

In October of 2013, Overwaitea’s vice-president of real estate and store development Michael Fong, contacted Sonny Janda and advised him of the existence of the restrictive covenant and a lease to Loblaw’s would be contrary to it.

Janda responded he was not aware of the alleged restriction and requested documentation evidencing its existence.

Janda deposed that when he did not receive that documentation he continued with the intended lease to Loblaw’s until November of 2013 when the property managers for Standard Life advised Janda that Overwaitea wished to enforce the restrictive covenant.

On Nov. 26, 2013 Donald Eng, general counsel for Overwaitea, served BC Retail with correspondence stating that Overwaitea continued to claim

School boards making do

Guys and dolls theme to liven up TRU gala

WAITING ON A TRAIN

F

orty-some years ago when I represented the citizens of Williams Lake on the Cariboo Chilcotin School Board, trustees had some control over what was happening in the schools. Money didn’t grow on trees, but there was enough to do what was needed with some left over for innovative programs. It seems now it’s all about trying to make do with not enough money.

While I have assorted descendants in local schools, for once in ages I don’t have a student living with me, so I wasn’t paying much attention until a Vancouver Sun story caught my eye. It said while school boards are grapFrench pling with cash Connection shortfalls, EducaDiana French tion Minister Peter Fassbender is demanding additional “administrative savings.” He will have a special advisor review the Vancouver School Board’s budget to make sure it’s done right.

School boards are getting a double whammy.

They have to deal with increased costs (IE rising utility rates) with no increase in funding, and what funding they did have is cut back.

How can that enhance student learning? If Mr. Fassbender doesn’t think trustees are doing a good job, why doesn’t he just eliminate school districts and run the system from Victoria? That would save a few dollars.

I’m surprised school trustees aren’t on the warpath. *** An issue that isn’t getting much media attention is Canada’s Health Accord. The accord, which sets funding and health care service delivery agreements between the federal and provincial and territorial governments, expired last year. The feds don’t seem anxious to renew it but critics see millions of dollars in health care cuts coming up.

Without the accord, access to health care depends on where you live and your ability to pay. Next Tuesday health advocacy groups will launch a Canada-wide protest.

They say without the accord, federal funding will fall to 18 per cent from its original 50 per cent, inequality between provinces will grow, wait times will lengthen and patients will suffer.

Bonne Sante!

Our Viewpoint

Short on the details Last week, B.C. Transportation Minister Todd Stone trumpeted the province’s longawaited transportation plan as “a roadmap for the next 10 years on how we will expand and improve our transportation network to ultimately improve the quality of life for us all.”

The B.C. On the Move plan is the result of 13,000 responses from British Columbians about their perceived infrastructure priorities.

But the lack of detail in the plan is frustrating, given the hype of its release by the province.

It didn’t take 13,000 responses to inform the government that Vancouver Island’s top traffic problem remains the logjam at McKenzie Avenue and Highway 1 in Saanich. But those anticipating a specific timeline and commitment to an overpass at the intersection were bitterly disappointed with last week’s On the Move announcement.

“The ministry is committing to deliver key upgrades to reduce congestion and improve commuter mobility along Highway 1 between Langford and Victoria,” the report reads. “The ministry has committed to assess the potential for a future interchange on Highway 1 at McKenzie Avenue.”

A politically independent community newspaper published Fridays by: Black Press Group Ltd. 188 North 1st Ave., Williams Lake, B.C., Canada V2G 1Y8 • Phone (250) 392Kathy McLean Angie Mindus Gaeil Farrar Greg Sabatino 2331 Fax (250) 392-7253, emails editor@wltribune.com or Community Editor Sports Editor Publisher Editor classifieds@wltribune.com, view our web page at www. wltribune.com.

The Williams Lake Tribune is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent within 45 days to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby Street, Nanaimo, B.C., V9R 2R2. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to www.bc.presscouncil.org

That’s right, “assessing the potential” for a solution. And it continues: “Preliminary engineering work is underway to look into the feasibility of building a future interchange to help traffic flow more efficiently. The B.C. government will be looking to partner with the federal government and local governments to help ease congestion and improve safety along this key corridor.”

Capital investment in infrastructure is no small expense: the provincial government plans to spend up to $2.5 billion over the coming decade on B.C.’s vast network of highways, bridges and tunnels.

Each municipality or regional district across B.C. can come up with a dozen reasons why some of that cash should be earmarked for their projects, as many municipalities are struggling with how to fund aging infrastructure. (Saanich is actually ahead of the curve on this – the District banks a .75-per-cent annual tax increase for needed pipes and roadworks.)

Questions abound, thanks in no small part to a lack of concrete detail from the province.

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Route could be achieved Editor: Over a number of years I have argued an alternate route into the Bella Coola Valley was the most sensible solution to the problems of the existing route.

Rudy Johnson of Williams Lake is sold on the original 1919 survey by provincial engineer A.L. Carruthers. Carruthers, in his day, was no slouch of an engineer. He was the engineer in charge of constructing the original Alexandria Bridge.

Rudy shares an historical connection to Carruthers having also constructed a bridge over the fastflowing Fraser River. Visitors can still see engineer Carruthers’ handy work just north of the current Alexandria Bridge and Rudy Johnson’s Bridge is available to traffic.

It would not be surprising if

Rudy, even right now, is lining up the required machinery to just go ahead and construct the Carruthers route.

Rudy had been told that building a bridge over the Fraser was impossible, but he did it anyway.

Rudy’s attitude: if it’s needed, just do it.

The Carruthers route to achieve the plateau is less than 400 metres above the foot of the hill. This compares to climbing approximately 1,200 metres over 18.5 kilometres with grades up to 18 per cent to reach the plateau on the existing route. The Carruthers route is not located in a narrow, at times fogbound, rock-falling canyon.

According to Rudy, the plateau on the Carruthers route can be reached within less than eight kilometres, with a grade of less than five

per cent.

Rudy’s vision is that such a development could ultimately open the Peace River, Prince George economic corridor to the Central Coast with access to developing Asian markets.

With less than eight kilometres of mountain to construct a new highway on, using modern machinery Rudy calculates the work could be roughed out within modest weeks with a road across the plateau taking not much longer.

In today’s world of Internet crowd funding, crowd funding could raise the required capital.

All it takes is Internet work and Rudy would, even at his age, just go ahead and construct the project.

Money should serve us better Editor: The recent B.C. Liberal government budget was unable to make provision for the necessary seismic upgrades to a number of B.C. schools.

This would have to wait for another 10 years.

Nor did the budget have any undertaking to initiate a plan to reduce child poverty.

B.C. is the only province in Canada that does not have a poverty reduction plan.

The budget did, however, grant $230 million dollars in tax relief to the wealthiest two per cent of the B.C. population.

Only an economist could understand that.

More recently the provincial government raised the mini-

mum wage by 20 cents an hour to $10.45 to take effect in September.

That means $1.60 for an eight-hour shift. Not much help for the workers who are below the poverty line every day.

And many of them are not kids living with their parents.

About 10,000 of them are over age 55.

The City of Seattle has a plan to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour over the next two years.

The business community is behind the move because they recognize that worker pay goes directly into the local economy.

B.C. workers will have to wait until 2034 to reach $15. By then the oldest among them will be dead. Only an economist can

appreciate that prospect.

To show another perspective, the B.C. government has pegged the price of a million litres of Hope spring water at $2.25 for Nestle corporation.

How much does Nestle charge for a litre of that same water?

Depends on where.

There have been 1,838 water advisories in B.C. in the last year.

Water is priceless in the places where it is urgently needed.

Again only an economist could understand why the provincial government has named that price.

Money should serve our society, not be its master.

ROSES & RASPBERRIES

you so much.

Caroline Palmantier *** A rose to Audio Video Unlimited. It would take a paragraph to explain, suffice it to say customer service is alive and well.

Thank you Brian and staff.

Ron Johnson *** Raspberries to the woman who stole my purse. The RCMP have the video of you in Walmart parking lot. White car, ring a bell?

Glenda Johnson *** Thank you to the amazing businesses that donated gift certificates to go in our raffle baskets and made them a huge success. You know who you are.

So, to you all a huge bouquet

A huge bouquet of gratitude goes out to all the staff of Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Deni House who so lovingly and gently cared for our mother in the final days of her life. You are all amazing and very special people.

And to all the people of our community and beyond who sent us words and prayers, cards, flowers, and e-mails of comfort, friendship, and sympathy; along with supporting us in her final farewell celebration.

Thank you. Our mother touched many lives and hearts and now you have touched ours.

Question of the week

?

How can we improve health care in Williams Lake?

Alicia Beaman

Erika Weber

Definitely a walk-in clinic and more doctors.

There are long waits at emergency so it would be nice if there was a walk-in clinic for the public.

Heather Bremner

Jason Fraser

We need more doctors.

Walk-in clinics so outsiders like me can see a doctor on occasion.

Samantha Glaves

Kaj Vandermaaten

When I first called for a doctor there wasn’t anyone. I use the TRU clinic.

More accessibility and a walk-in clinic.

This week’s online question:

Do you typically take part in any April Fool’s Day jokes?

Log onto the Opinion section at wltribune.com to vote Last week’s question: Were you without power following the March 14 windstorm?

YES: 40 per cent

of roses from the Williams Lake Blue Fins.

Andrea Christensen *** Many thanks to a good samaritan, Rajinder Purewal, of Totem Taxi who came to my aid on a snowy evening at dusk, just before Jacobson Road and Highway 97.

A deer had just run out in front of my car, doing no damage to either of us, except to my raw nerves; a first experience for me.

His calming words were indeed much needed as my daughter in Boston, also reassured me over the phone, that I would survive just as the deer did.

I have since learned that Mr. Purewal does many acts of kindness in our town.

NO: 60 per cent

Lucky us. Many thanks.

Shary Stephen *** The staff and management of the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre Association would like to send a bouquet of roses to Sergeant Len Butler and the Conservation Officers for their attendance at our recent annual ice fishing event.

Also, as this was our best turnout ever with more than 30 people attending this year, we would like to graciously thank Surplus Herby’s, Save-On -Foods, and Petro Canada for their generous support towards our ice fishing event.

End-of-life trainer Stephen Garrett said it was the death of his sister at the age of 33 that inspired him to think about the way North America handles death and dying.

“I used to be a stock broker,” said Garrett who will be in Williams Lake this week giving workshops.

“Jen passed away in 1988. She was much younger than me and was a compassionate, generous loving woman and at the time I was a money-making machine.”

It made no sense

that she died and he was left on the planet, he recalled.

He went through a process of asking questions, quit his career, and became a social worker and has followed that path of service ever since.

Contrary to popular belief, death is not the mortal enemy, he said.

“It is a fundamental and important aspect of life that we’ve corporatized, medicalized and mystified, much to our own loss,” he explained. “Death is a summit that’s important to our growth as human beings and for inspiration to live passionate lives.”

Author/Counsellor Stephen Garrett hosts a book reading and workshops this week.

In a way he’s trying to bring death back to life, he suggested.

“This grim reaper notion is an error and a myth. I’ve looked all

over the world for the grim reaper and he does not exist. It’s an ideology or a mythology we’ve made up to our own detriment.”

The statistics on endof-life preparation are shocking, he added.

“We spend more than half of our medical budget on five per cent of the people in the last 10 months of their life,” Garrett said as an example of fighting death at all cost.

And the costs aren’t just financial, they are emotional, mental and spiritual.

North American society has moved a long way from the day when a grandpa lay on the kitchen table and his family would bathe his body, dress him and place him in a casket they’d built, he said.

Garrett will be appearing as a guest author at the library on Thursday, March 26, and leading workshops at Signal Point on Saturday, March 28, and Seniors Village on March 29.

Rescued owls free once again Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Under overcast skies four owls were released Friday near Williams Lake after recovering with the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation (OWL) Society in Delta.

The owls — two Great Horned and two Great Greys — successfully landed on the branches of nearby trees on Fox Mountain as some of the people who rescued them initially witnessed their flying to freedom.

“We found one of the Great Greys part way up Fox Mountain Road on our way home on Jan. 24,” said Kim Rutherford as she and her son Daniel and his friend Mitchell Blusson watched. “It was just swaying in the wind so we stopped and picked it up and put it in the car with us.”

Local resident Willi Borsch rescued the other Great Grey along Highway 20.

“It flew into a car and broke its wing,” he said. “It was sitting on a concrete divide, the snow plow went by and it didn’t even move.”

Borsch’s Pablo Creek Road neighbour rescued another owl that is still recuperating.

“I saw him and his son sitting with the owl on Highway 20 and told them I’d get help. It was cold and dark and the owl had a broken wing and bleeding beak.”

As he watched his owl fly away he said it was really exciting.

Daryl Livingston has been volunteering with OWL for 19 years and transported the owls for the release.

The Great Horned Owls weren’t rescued in Williams Lake,

“The Great Greys will migrate north of Prince George to the Peace from here,” he said. “They come down here in the Winter.”

One of the Great Greys actually sat on Livingston’s glovecovered arm for a few moments while he talked about the owls, whereas the Great Horned and

the other Great Grey flew off as soon as the cages were opened.

“It’s been a busy year for owls,” Livingston said. “We had a record number in 2014 of 560 something and we’re on our way to another big year.”

They’ve never had four Great Greys before, he added.

Sue Burton who volunteers in the region for 2nd Chance Wildlife Shelter in Quesnel had organized the release and was there to help Livingston, taking her turn letting two of them go.

“I wanted to acknowledge the work of the shelter and veterinarian Dr. Doug Magnowski at the Animal Care Hospital in Williams Lake,” Burton said. “He got the two Great Grey Owls and gave them physical exams.”

As the Great Greys flew away, Livingston said they can spot a mouse from 70 to 80 feet away beneath three feet of snow.

“They fly with one ear up and one ear down,” he smiled, adding the ways of the wild are so interesting.

other trades that you had to do while living in the Chilcotin.

You either had to learn or go without.

Most of all he knew cattle — and it showed when it came to the sale ring.

He was also part of the cattle drives from the Chilcotin to Williams Lake many years ago.

A part of history that hopefully will never go forgotten.

Allan married Bubby in 1950 and together they raised their five children.

Allan’s family always came first.

His kids say that there was never another dad in this world as good as their dad.

Allan was an avid hunter and taught his boys to follow in his footsteps.

He raised his family on venison.

Allan had a love for the outdoors and all animals.

He was an excellent horseback rider and even dabbled in roping and cattle penning, but mostly he rode to work the ranch.

he could not do. No task too big or small that he wouldn’t tackle.

Each fall the call of the mountains would beckon him and he would organize a trip by horseback and packhorse, with whichever members of his family that were available and off he would go.

He was so happy in the mountains — ­ hunting and just being above timberline would bring happiness to Allan.

After his success in ranching the West Branch area he decided to go bigger and made a move with his family to Kleena Kleene.

His ranch was beautiful and he made many improvements to make it successful. Along with his own ranch he managed the Dane Ranch, one of the biggest ranches in the Chilcotin.

A very successful operation.

The Dane Ranch eventually sold and Allan along with, Bubby, settled in to ranching their own place until Allan was diagnosed with MS. He knew they had to sell and moved to Barriere where they spent 10 wonderful years in retirement.

They made many new friends.

As Allan’s health deteriorated they decided to move to Bella Coola to their daughter Sandy’s place.

It wasn’t long before Allan had to move into the hospital into long-term care as he was so crippled with the disease.

Unfortunately the last 10 years of his life were not great.

He had no quality of life left but his wife Bubby never left his side.

She spent every day

doing the half-hour journey to feed him lunch and visit with him.

It was a test of endurance for them both which they handled well.

Allan had many friends and respect from a lot of people.

He had a very strong personality and people knew not to mess with him.

If Allan gave you his word or a handshake it was as good as a done deal.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Bella Coola Hospital for his exceptional care and kindness that he received while there.

He will be hugely missed by all who knew him and by his loving family.

May he now rest in peace.

We will always love you dad, you will never be forgotten.

There will be no service at his request.

INDUSTRY SUPPORTING CARIBOO FAMILIES FOR DECADES

Transportation improvements in plan Industries in the Cariboo-Chilcotin depend on a strong transportation infrastructure.

According to B.C. on the Move, the provincial government’s new 10-year plan to improve the province’s transportation network, there are about 23,000 trucking companies in B.C. That translates into 40,000 trucks employing around 33,500 people.

In the report the government outlines a number of planned road improvements for the decade to come.

They range from upgrading and replacing structures such as bridges and overpasses, so they can accommodate

the increasingly heavy and large loads that industry needs to transport goods, to working with industry to expand the number of provincial highway corridors pre-approved for the transport of 85- to 125-metric-tonne loads.

The report also notes that streamlining permits and reducing the number of truck permits required while ensuring commercial vehicle safety is a top priority.

The plan was developed by government with input gathered during an engagement process in fall 2014 and included a public survey that drew over 12,500 responses from throughout B.C.

that improvements to the quality of paint used for highway line painting be improved because lines need to be repainted frequently.

Earlier in March the federal Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt endorsed the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) in commercial vehicles and electronic stability control (ESC) in new trucks as positive steps for the trucking industry that can improve safety for all road users. ELDs in particular can ensure driving time is accurately recorded, removing the temptation for some individuals or companies to work outside the rules and increase their crash risk.

Carver Kings TV show to premier April 5 It’s been buzzed about around town for months, now HGTV Canada has made it official.

The new reality series Carver Kings premieres April 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series, which offers a look at the unique world of chainsaw carving, is a companion to the hit show Timber Kings, currently in its second season, with both shows filmed out of Williams Lake highlighting craftsmen from Pioneer Log Homes.

Carver Kings follows a passionate crew of elite chainsaw carvers as they turn raw wood into stunning custom art for the owners of the world’s most spectacular log homes.

Part of the team at Pioneer Log Homes, these chainsaw experts are challenged with creating extraordinary, oneof-a-kind carvings for the Timber Kings’ most prestigious clients. Several of the Carver Kings’ work can also be seen in and

Tribune file photo

A giant-sized cheeseburger supported by custom-carved hands are just one of the new carvings on display in and around the lakecity courtesy of the Carver Kings, a new HGTV Canada series premiering April 5. around Williams Lake.

“HGTV Canada is home to the country’s most talented, captivating craftsmen and the brilliant Carver Kings epitomize the brand’s commitment to authentic and entertain-

ing lifestyle programming,” said Christine Shipton, Senior Vice President, Content, Shaw Media.

“This spring, we introduce a new group of fascinating characters who have the rare ability to use powerful

chainsaws for extremely detailed carvings that will leave Canadians in awe.”

As some of the best carvers in the world, the Kings know every detail about the subjects they carve — from the number

of feathers on a bird’s wing to the exact angle at which a bear’s claw curves. Each incredible carving comes with a unique story and viewers get an up-close look at the precise work required to create a range of carvings. Whether it’s an eagle, a mountain lion, a family tree, a gazebo or even a tiki bar, every carving becomes a striking focal point in homes across North America.

“After seeing the incredible fan base that Timber Kings has developed in its first two seasons, we think viewers are going to be thrilled to experience another aspect of the log home building industry,” said David Paperny, President, Paperny Entertainment. “Some people create art with paint and canvas, others with stone and chisel. Carver Kings will showcase the incredible artistry that can come from the unlikely chainsaw. We’re excited for viewers to meet this tal-

ented bunch of characters living in the high-pressure world of chainsaw carving.”

The premiere episode follows the Carver Kings as they create a modern totem pole for a Colorado log stunner that Timber King Peter Arnold needs to complete the build. The homeowner requested a piece that stands 13 feet tall and represents the native animals of Colorado – but they only have five days to complete the work. In this high-stakes job where timing and quality are everything, one mistake could prove very costly to the whole project. Meanwhile, across the work yard at Pioneer Log Homes, the most seasoned carver of the bunch gives Pioneer’s rookie carvers a surprise job to cut their teeth on.

Safety top priority for Taseko Mines Ltd. Dave Rouleau Industrial Update 2015 2014 and the early part of 2015 have been challenging for the mining industry. Commodity prices are down, some like oil, silver, nickel and molybdenum are down significantly.

Copper too is down; declining since 2011, copper hit a five-year low this past year.

If these low levels persist for a prolonged period it will add further economic uncertainty to the mining industry, not just here in B.C. but around the world.

While Taseko, and the Gibraltar Mine we operate, are not immune to these market challenges, we have been preparing for the possibility of lower prices for some time.

Gibraltar was restarted in 2004 and beginning in 2006 Taseko invested $700 million in a multi-phase modernization project. The main goal of which was to lower costs, increase production and be in the best

BR

possible position to ensure the company could weather the storm associated with copper price declines.

By increasing production and lowering costsper-pound produced, the operation becomes more efficient, more resilient, and possesses greater potential to remain profitable, and thus remains operating while other higher cost mines around the world will have to either curtail production or cease operations altogether.

The success at Gibraltar is in large measure a reflection of the skill and dedication of our employees to not only operational excellence but also to the well-being of their fellow workers.

Safety remains the top priority and great care is taken to ensure safety is the first consideration in all decisions and actions taken.

Taseko-Gibraltar vital contributor to local economy Continued From Page A15 At midnight on Dec. 31, 2014 a significant safety milestone was reached when employees and contractors completed the entire 2014 calendar year without a single loss time incident.

A total of 1,711,467 person hours worked without an accident.

The Taseko-Gibraltar operation remains a vital contributor to local communities and the people living in the region.

With approximately 650 working at Gibraltar, we have a total payroll of $70.1 million per annum, with 94 per cent of employees concentrated in Williams Lake, Quesnel and 100 Mile House.

And although spending is down in comparison to recent years, we remain committed to our local purchasing policy.

Gibraltar spent more than $76 million buying goods and services locally in 2014, which continues to help local businesses and generate additional

employment opportunities in local communities.

Additionally, in 2014 Taseko-Gibraltar employees raised a total of $108,295 for the United Way in the Cariboo, demonstrating our employees’ personal generosity and determination to give back to the community. Over the past seven years, Taseko-Gibraltar employees are responsible for having donated approximately $630,000 to the United Way as a means to contribute to the local wellbeing of the Cariboo communities.

Shelterwood system utilized by West Fraser Uniform shelterwood is a silviculture system that can be applied to meet a number of objectives.

Although called a silviculture system, it employs harvesting as the means to achieve its regeneration objectives.

In the Cariboo region the uniform shelterwood system has been demonstrated as a way of successfully regenerating Douglas-fir on frost prone sites east of Williams Lake.

It can also reduce silviculture costs, meet other land use objectives by retaining a stocked stand on the site, produce higher value logs and increase timber yield off the site.

The Cariboo Region is fortunate enough to have local expertise in the shelterwood system. In 1990, a shelterwood trial was initiated as a collaboration between UBC’s Alex Fraser Research Forest, West Fraser Mills Ltd. (Weldwood of Canada at the time), and the Ministry of Forests.

Photo submitted Michaela Waterhouse (right) talking at a group of Local Network of Forest Professionals tour of the Gavin Lake shelterwood trial site after harvesting was completed.

Three sites east of Williams Lake were examined in the study.

The most easily accessible one is near the start of the Gavin Lake Road.

Researcher Michaela Waterhouse of the Ministry of Forests Lands and Natural Resource Operations, along with Ken Day of the UBC Research Forest have been involved with the trial since the begin-

ning and are a wealth of information on the topic.

West Fraser has had a number of foresters involved in the trial.

Most recently professional foresters Mauro Calabrese, Graham Fulton and Susan Woermke have been involved from West Fraser.

Mauro and Graham have worked on the implementation of the final har-

vest, and Susan on the regeneration of the sites.

Much has been learned from this trial both in terms of where and how to apply the shelterwood system from a silviculture perspective, as well as operational knowledge on implementing the system on a larger scale moving forward.

For example, it does not work well on wetter sites and is difficult to implement

on steeper slopes.

The collaboration between researchers, licensee foresters and harvesting contractors proved to be a positive learning experience for all.

Each bought a different perspective and in the end a great result on the ground was achieved. Progressive Harvesting Ltd., and owner Tim Tugnum, were involved in the original preparatory

cutting back in 1991, again in 2000, and for the final Harvest in 2011.

Initially it was thought that doing three lighter entries over a 20-year period would be best, but the trial showed that given the correct site conditions, doing two entries where approximately 50 per cent of the basal area (or volume) is removed at each entry over a 10- to 15-year period may be most beneficial.

There were also encouraging results when the growth rates of the stand were examined.

It was shown that even after removing up to half of the volume in the first cuts, the remaining trees were able to accumulate as much growth as a stand that was not harvested.

This means that additional volume was generated from the site compared to if it would have been clearcut harvested or not harvested at all.

Apprenticeship advisor has Chilcotin roots Monica Lamb-Yorski Industrial Update 2015 The Industry Training Authority (ITA)’s new apprenticeship advisor Donna Anderson has roots in the Chilcotin.

“I’m Tsilhqot’in and my mother was from the Anaham band along Highway 20,” Anderson, 51, told the Tribune during a phone interview from her new office in Prince George. “I have lots of relatives in a number of the communities in that area.”

In her role as an advisor for ITA, Anderson will be visiting universities, colleges, industry leaders, apprentic-

Donna Anderson es, sponsors, stakeholders and community members on a regular basis. Her region extends from Prince George South into the Central Interior and out to Bella Coola.

“We are tasked with building awareness of the

apprenticeship system,” Anderson explained. “I’m an on foot customer service representative.”

Anxious to meet people in person, she said she prefers to have face to face meetings to build relationships with individuals, training providers or groups.

“It will give me better knowledge of how I can best help them.”

Anderson has worked as a career development practitioner for the last 13 years with the Aboriginal Community Careers and Employment Services Society in Vancouver.

Through that work she has helped many students

engaged in training within a trade.

“I’ve worked with students attending programs in metal fabrication, boil making, sheet metal working, electrical, carpentry, to name a few,” Anderson said. “And become quite familiar with the apprenticeship system through the work I’ve been doing.”

Her skills are to assist people in the process as they face challenges and difficulties moving through the system.

“With apprenticeships, the jobs aren’t always throughout the whole four years or more that it takes. I want to make sure people get sup-

ported and as I become more familiar with what resources are available in this region I hope to reach out more to agencies to ensure apprentices find employer sponsors.”

Pleased she’ll be working with Walter Sorokovsky, who started as the apprenticeship advisor for the Central Interior and Prince George North region of B.C. last year.

“Walter has over 10 years of experience working as a millwright and machinist instructor and knows the area,” Anderson said.

Sorokovsky obtained his Provincial College Instructors Diploma, and holds

Red Seal certification in several trades – Millwright, Machinist, and Carpenter– along with a Certificate of Qualification in Power Engineering.

Closer to home, Anderson has two adult children who are both apprentices.

Her daughter, 21, is a firstyear machinist apprentice and her son, 23, is a second year boil maker apprentice.

Anderson was a foster child growing up and was raised in the Lower Mainland.

“I did not have ties to my family or community so I’m really happy to be back in the area so I can be close to my family,” she said.

“It’s exciting to me because the show is aired in more than 100 countries and is still a smash hit across HGTV and all of their related channels.”

Episodes of the show have featured local mountain bike trails, the Canadian Army training out in the Chilcotin, and an array of community events such as the Stampede Parade and Thunder Mountain Speedway Hit to Pass, which Chevigny described as a positive, positive thing.

“I don’t know what else anybody could do to expose our area. TV is a huge medium,” he said.

Despite the rise to fame, Chevigny said he and the guys remain humbled by the experience.

Two weeks ago he was in Calgary where he spent the whole weekend taking compliments about the show and sharing excitement on both the show and its colourful people and

the beautiful area where they live.

“I say we’re from British Columbia, we’re from a small town and this is what it’s about,” he said.

When people ask him what it’s like he tells them, “we’re small town boys and we’re very humble.”

Chevigny, however, admitted he and his costars are being recognized in Mexico, Hawaii and wherever they travel.

And because of Timber Kings, Williams Lake’s fame is also on the rise.

“People are constantly calling Pioneer Log Homes to ask about the town,” Chevigny said.

“Where is it? Is it a resort town? Is there recreation there? How can they find out more about it? When can they come and visit us?”

Whether customers are from Arizona or Germany they are always encouraged by Pioneer to come and see the community, the log houses, the people and the colourful personalities that build the houses, he added.

“Our family has always been about hard work and exposing the beautiful community we live in to all of our customers.”

Recently Chevigny was invited to be the keynote speaker at the Ontario Forest Industry Association annual convention held in Toronto in February.

In front of 250 of the “top brass” dressed in

“There I was with my jeans, my cowboy boots and my Pioneer ball cap and T-shirt,” he chuckled.

He was also presented the OFIA 2015 Wood Champion of the Year Award and in Williams Lake at the Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards in March, Pioneer Log Homes was the winner of the chamber’s Newsmaker of the Year Award.

INDUSTRY Supporting Cariboo families for decades

Tolko continues to improve lakecity operations Committed, hardworking, dedicated to excellence – these are a few of the words Mike Dextrase, plant manager Soda Creek, uses to describe the Tolko Williams Lake team – a team he believes had a great deal to do with Tolko’s recent success at the annual Williams Lake & District Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards ceremony.

Held on March 14 before a sold out crowd at the Elks Hall, the awards ceremony recognized a number of businesses in the community for their contributions to the social and economic success of Williams Lake.

Tolko was recognized with the Manufacturer of the Year award which is presented to a local business that manufactures quality products and has strengthened the economic base of Williams Lake.

“It was a great evening for everyone,” says Dextrase. “But we know our employees are the reason we were on stage accepting this award.

Without their hard work and dedication it wouldn’t have been possible, so I want to extend a big thank-you to everyone at our Soda Creek and Lakeview divisions. I was proud to accept the award on their behalf.”

Dextrase outlined a number of recent improvements to the Williams Lake operations that he believes have helped the divisions remain competitive in the industry and contributed

These improvements include replacing and upgrading all the equipment at the Lakeview sawmill back end, including the trimmer, optimizer, sorter and stacker and installing a completely new trimmer, optimized lumber grader, sorter, stacker and packaging equipment at Soda Creek.

“Capital improvements at both mills have led to increased product quality and value while improving our overall cost effectiveness,” says Dextrase.

“These projects have not significantly increased the production capacity of our mills, but they have substantively enhanced our product quality which has improved our competitive position in the marketplace.”

In addition to these capital upgrades, Dextrase noted the positive impact of Tolko’s new wood dust mitigation practices on overall safety and morale.

“Safety is the number one priority at Tolko.

While we have focused on capital upgrades we have not neglected our safety practices.

“Over the past few years we have also installed a new dust collection system at Soda Creek to further improve the air quality at the planer. We’ve also installed a new trimmer at Lakeview and increased sawdust extraction in the mill which will prevent accumulation and reduce fire and explosion risk.

Creating a safe, productive environment where employees are engaged is the key to our contin-

ued success.”

When asked where the award would be displayed, Dextrase said the award is for the entire team so they’ll pick a place where everyone can see it at both locations and then share

it between both Soda Creek and Lakeview.

But Dextrase joked there might be some competition for the award.

“We had great representation at the awards ceremony. We had Jerry Mooney, woodlands

manager; Todd Walters, sawmill superintendent Lakeview Lumber; Jim Mork, maintenance superintendent, Soda Creek; Peter Metcalf, maintenance superintendent, Lakeview Lumber; Stephanie Lauer, operations forester, Cariboo Woodlands; Tom Hoffman, manager external and stakeholder relations; and Scot Durward, human resources manager, Cariboo Region on hand to share in the celebration. We may have to work out a plan to share the award.”

Joking aside, Dextrase said he, and the entire Williams Lake team, is excited about the future.

“We have positive momentum at our operations and our employees are a big part of that. Creating competitive, successful operations at Lakeview and Soda Creek certainly bodes well for the future of Tolko, the community and the economy of the area.”

GETTING ALONG WITH OTHERS Your Preschooler and…

Getting Along With Others

Up until now, your preschooler has been mostly concerned with his or her own needs.Usually around the third birthday, this “egocentric” view of the world begins to change. Typically, your child will be more interested in playing with friends, although friendships may be short-lived. Your child may be able to show empathy, take turns, and begin to understand the idea of sharing. As well, more and more preschoolers are able to follow rules and instructions and are interested in seeking approval from adults. It is important to set basic rules and stick to them consistently. Getting along with both children and adults so that your child may do well in a group environment is a very important part of helping your child get ready for school.

SA drop-in centre reopens Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Salvation Army has opened up its drop-in centre again, now that renovations are completed due to the flood it experienced at the beginning of December.

“We have opened and have new programs available for people to experience,” Captain Isobel Lippers said.

Those programs include a wide range of activities.

On Mondays there are crochet classes from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m.

On Tuesdays from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. there is an H20 Study

Group, while from 1:15 to 4 p.m. there are crib tournaments.

Every Wednesday there’s a free coffee and God talk from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. and in the afternoons from 1:15 to 4 p.m. there is a pool tournament.

Free basic clipper hair cuts are offered Thursdays from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. and people are asked to ensure their hair is clean.

Also on Thursdays from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. a ‘Never Alone’ class is offered to help people learn to deal with different addictions or other problems they may have.

Try some of these with your preschooler: 1. Most preschoolers look for approval. Give approval (with encouraging words and actions like smiling) for taking turns and waiting for a turn as a part of your child’s everyday routine.

2. Introduce your preschooler and friends to simple games that require taking turns, such as card games like Go Fish.

3. Give simple one or two-step instructions to follow and then praise your child for listening and completing the task. Be delighted and supportive when your child behaves well.

4. Model respect by saying things like “please” and “thank you” to your child.

5. Encourage your child to have regular responsibilities around the home. An activity such as choosing clothes independently allows your child to get used to routines and expectations as a part of the day.

6. See how others do it. Reading books about friends with your child is another way to introduce your child to socializing.

7. Provide lots of opportunities for your child to interact with friends. Set up play dates with friends on a regular basis. Encourage your child to say “Hello” to playmates when he or she sees them.

8. Keep play dates short – one to two hours, and small – one to two friends. Make available a variety of activities that children will enjoy.

9. Be available. Supervise your child. Don’t just leave the children to play by themselves and hope for the best. Be close by in case they can’t solve their own conflicts, stop playing together, or need a change of activity.

10. Take your preschooler to another child’s home.

Provide the experience of playing away from your child’s own home and learning the rules of another family. Depending on your child’s comfort level, consider leaving your preschooler in the home of trusted friends without you, first for a short time and then for longer periods.

11. Invite your own friends over. Since young children pay close attention to what adults do and often imitate their behaviour, model for your child by inviting adults to visit in your home. Have a double play date with a friend who has children.

Hough Memorial at work for CMH Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer The Hough Memorial Cancer Society has reached its latest goal for replacing equipment at Cariboo Memorial Hospital and is continuing with another goal.

Funds from the 2014 Parade of Choirs capped off the fundraising for the society to purchase a portable ultrasound machine for the hospital valued at $21,000 of which Hough Memorial contributed $14,000 thanks to support from the Parade of Choirs and other community donations, says society director Mary Jane Engstrom.

The 2014 concert was dedicated to the late Dick Poole, who was a longtime director and supporter of the Hough Memorial Cancer Society.

The 2015 Parade of Choirs, held March 1 at Cariboo Bethel Church raised $1,957, which is

Dick Poole going toward the society’s new project to raise funds for a new colonoscope for the hospital.

The choirs Eclectica from 100 Mile House and Quintet Plus, Synergy and the Cariboo Men’s Choir from Williams Lake generously donated heir time for concert for which admission was by donation to Hough Memorial.

“Thank you to all the choirs and everyone who attended the concerts and supported the society,” Engstrom says.

Williams Lake A GOOD MEASURE OF HOW FIT YOU ARE Ever wonder how fit you are? A good measure of fitness is how fast your heart rate goes back down to normal after aerobic exercise. Take your pulse, before you start exercising, this is your resting heart rate and then take it after right after you stop exercising. Measure the length of time that it takes for your heart rate to go back to the resting rate.

As you become fitter your heart rate will drop down faster. If you have just started exercising write down how long it takes for your heart rate to return to normal and then recheck this six months later.

This is a great indicator of how healthy your heart is.

Looking for more ways to be active? The Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex offers a pool, fitness centre, two rinks, and a wide range of classes and programs.

Trio earns provincial fitness berths Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Hard work, commitment and dedication all paid off for three lakecity fitness competitors March 14 at the Leigh Brandt Muscle Classic.

Tina Campbell, alongside twin sisters Reani Sharp and Renee Cooper, all punched their tickets to the upcoming May provincial championships in Vancouver after each finishing in the top five in their respective divisions at the event, held at New Westminster’s Massey Theatre.

Campbell, in the Masters Figure 35 and up division, claimed a first-place result out of six in the category after 17 weeks of both mental and physical preparation.

In the figure division, competitors are judged on physique and overall stage presence.

“It was a huge, huge amount of effort,” Campbell said. “I trained six days a week with one rest day.

I was at the gym in the morning for about half an hour of cardio, then body training and building and lifting at night for usually about two hours, then more cardio after my workout session.

After that I’d do about an hour of posing practice with my coach on Skype.”

In preparation Campbell trained with two coaches from Vancouver — a bodybuilding and nutrition coach and a mental preparation and posing coach.

“I really appreciated having that mental prep side, especially on days I was struggling,” she said. “She’d give tips and tricks to get through those things and always made sure during the journey you wouldn’t do anything that would make you resent it. It’s a very solo and independent training style.”

At the end of the day, however, Campbell couldn’t be happier with the result.

“I prepped really hard and just wanted to give everything I had,” she said. “I didn’t expect to win by any means but wanted to do well. I loved the journey, and I loved the people I met, and winning was the cherry on top of the cake.”

Renee and Reani, meanwhile, competed in the bikini open division and finished third and fifth, respectively. While Campbell’s class was judged more on physique, the bikini class is adjudi-

“It’s more of a balance between shoulders and glutes,” Reani said, who was competing in her first fitness competition. “It was awesome, and a great experience.

For Renee, who was taking part in her third competition, the result was also welcomed.

She said having her sister alongside her to train with also helped in the preparation process.

“Having Reani alongside for the process was a great experience,” she said, noting the pair

trained for two to three hours a day for seven days a week over six months guided by trainer Dean Brandt of Point Moody through an online program.

And once all was said and done, all three indulged in some of the savoury cuisine they’d had to remove from their diets during the training process.

“Some wine gums, a Quest Bar, sangria, a burger, fries, tzatziki and pita bread and a Greek salad,” Campbell said.

“Wings, hamburger sliders and a belini,” said Reani, while Renee had wings, nachos, a belini

and hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Now, though, it’s back to business as all three are preparing for provincials May 23 and all three are looking forward to the experience.

“The bodybuilding community can be very intimidating for many people but it’s a very friendly, supportive community of people. It’s a neat atmosphere when you go,” Campbell said.

“Everyone is supportive of where you are in your journey.

It’s a positive environment to be around.”

The duo join current local champions Ty Thurow, Dan Mobbs, Fred Streleoff and Al Campsall.

Both Schmid, in the masters traditional division, and Jessie, in the longbow class, were leaders throughout the competition.

Jessie’s dad, Dan, proudly looked on to watch his daughter win the same gold medal he’d won in the past.

Dan, meanwhile, in the younger men’s category finished a close third in the instinctive category.

Past champion Streleoff dominated his division to win his fifth Canadian championship by a 66-point margin. He then went on to defeat all comers for the grand prix championship — a competi-

SPORTS McLellan suffers first loss in pro career Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer That’s boxing, said Stuart McLellan Monday morning after suffering the first loss of his professional career Friday night in Edmonton during K.O. Boxing’s Full Force card.

McLellan, coming into the fight with 12 wins, no losses and three draws, was defeated by Calgary-based Ryan Wagner — now with a 5-2 record — in a six-round split decision following months of trash talk and hype leading up to the fight.

“I just came out slow and lost the first two rounds, so that set me back,” McLellan told the Tribune. “I’m more of an eight-, 10-round fighter and should’ve known better.”

In the third McLellan said he wobbled Wagner with a stiff left hook and felt he had the win in his grasp, however, Wagner’s mouth piece fell out giving him time to re-

cover.

“I thought I won the last rounds ... he was a lot better than I thought, though,” McLellan said.

Two judges scored the contest 58-56 in favour of Wagner, while one judge had McLellan the winner, 58-56.

“I’ll be back before long, though,” McLellan vowed, noting he’s hoping for a rematch with Wagner in the future. “The fans got their money’s worth, that’s for sure.”

Asked whether he’d change anything about the way he fought, McLellan said he’d press the action sooner.

“I’d put the heat on [right away],” he said.

“I boxed too much and didn’t let my hands go enough.”

He added he’s completely grateful and thankful to everyone who showed him support, along with all of his training partners.

“Thanks to all my fans and everyone who showed support for the fight,” he said.

This year’s showstopper could well be a 1963 Lincoln Convertible, supplied by Abbotsford’s 360 Fabrication, which is now applying the final touches to the $1 million dollar restoration (pictured above).

Heard is excited about a new display called Car Culture, which focuses on the vehicles and the lifestyles that drive them. Feature vehicles are displayed in themed settings, featuring accessories and backdrops.

Driveway’s Alexandra Straub will pilot an all-electric Nissan LEAF in the annual AJAC Eco-Run next week.

The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday.

The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are.

The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver.

In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run

includes plug-in and conventional hybrids, as well as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, diesel-fuelled powertrains and highly efficient gasoline options.

There’s no limit to the size of vehicle showcased, as they range from subcompacts to pickup trucks.

The participants include the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, 2015 Kia Soul EV, 2015 Ford Focus 1.0-litre, 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the 2015 Chevy Volt.

The purpose of the event is to inform consumers of these alternative options. These new vehicles are driven in real-world road conditions in order to fully test for fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

Leaving a Legacy with Stephen Lloyd Garrett

www.embraceyourdeath.com

She married David Murdoch Meeks August 06, 1949 in Cranbrook.

After a brief stay in Golden, BC they moved to Williams Lake in 1967. Martha’s Beloved husband David passed away in Williams Lake April 19, 1971.

Martha is predeceased by her parents, four sisters, Emma Petrynko, Rose Parsons, Veronica Schickowsy and Bertha (Sister Loretta); five brothers, Michael, Mark, Joseph, Wilfred, and Rudy; four sisters-in-law, Adelia, Kay, Jean and Caroline; and three brothers-in-law, Peter Schickowsy, Manley Parsons, and William Petrynko.

Stephen Garrett’s passion and life energy is focused on changing the conversation we have about death from one of fear and denial, to one of embrace and inspiration.

Martha is survived by 2 sons, Allan Meeks and Bill Meeks, 5 daughters Bonnie Hyldig, Helen Meeks, Ann Nichols (Dennis), Peggy Meeks and Jan Brunache (Steve). Loved and cherished by her 21 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren, her sister Leona Lane, sister-in-law Jill Bornowsky, and brother-in-law Cyril Lane and many nieces and nephews.

He combines a unique blend of spirituality, humor and common sense in his approach to serving individuals, families and groups, as they walk the mysterious path of death, dying and loss.

Martha was a selfless, quiet lady whom enjoyed reading, nature, her pets and was an avid sports fan of many genres. She led a simple life devoted to and deeply connected to her family and loved traveling to wherever her loved ones were. Rarely would she miss a birthday, wedding or special family event.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in memory of Martha at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Williams Lake on Saturday March 28 at 11:00 am, Reverend Derrick Cameron presiding.

Interment of the Urn will immediately follow at the Williams Lake Cemetery.

Martha was a long-time resident of Williams Lake, with her nursing career spanning over 30 years at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital. Memorial donations in memory of Martha may be made to the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust, PO Box 2562 Williams Lake, BC V2G 4P2.
