CNC president cancels meeting in Burns Lake

President had planned to discuss the future of family programs FLAVIO NIENOW

Burns Lake residents who were hoping to ask questions to the president of the College of New Caledonia (CNC) last week about the transition of family programs were left disappointed.

The president of CNC, Henry Reiser, cancelled the meeting he had scheduled for Nov. 12, 2015, at the Lakes District campus.

Reiser said the reason for the cancellation was that he decided to wait until he obtained more details from government about the transition of the integrated family support services (family programs).

“Government has not come back yet with what the plan on their side is going to be; the minute that they do [get back to us] we will reschedule that community meeting so that we have answers for the community that are outside of our control,” he said.

Earlier this year, the CNC’s board of directors decided to transfer all family programs offered at the Lakes District campus to other agencies by March 2016. These programs have benefited hundreds of families in the community - through early childhood intervention programs, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders ...see CNC

RCMP says lock your vehicles

Burns Lake had nine motor vehicle thefts reported in 10 days

FLAVIO NIENOW Burns Lake resident Janiece Smoyer lives on Ninth Avenue. After hearing that some of her neighbours had their cars broken into, she doesn’t feel as safe as she used to where she lives.

“I have concerns living where I do, as I live alone,” she said. “I never used to have my door locked when I was home, but now you bet I do.”

begins in Burns Lake

According to the Burns Lake RCMP, during the first 10 days of November there were nine reports of motor vehicle thefts in Burns Lake, almost one a day.

“In almost all these cases, the vehicles were left unlocked and miscellaneous items were stolen,” said Corporal Terry Gillespie with the Burns Lake RCMP. Gillespie said the number of motor vehicle thefts so far in November is considerably higher compared to previous months. He explained that although this kind of crime is not new to the area, the number of cases had dropped up until last month.

“We do have some theories on whom it might be [breaking into cars] but we have no evidence at this point,” said Gillespie.

The Burns Lake RCMP recommends that everyone lock the doors to their motor vehicles.

School district confirms Granisle's project went over budget

Extra costs were mainly due to delays in construction, says Schools District 91

Flavio Nienow In the story ‘Granisle school revitalization project complete’ published in the Lakes District News’ Oct. 28 issue, the revitalization project of Granisle’s Babine Elementary-Secondary School (BESS) was complete, but School District No. 91 (Nechako Lakes) had still not provided the final figures from the project.

According to Darlene Turner, Secretary Treasurer for School District 91, the school district needed to finalize their school budgets prior to working on finalizing costs from the revitalization project.

School District 91 has now released the final figures to Lakes District News.

The total cost of the project was $7,727,912 million, which is $452,418 over the projected budget.

Turner said the project went over its projected budget due primarily to shortages of trades labour and acquisition of materials.

“In particular, there was a delay in manufacturing the modular [classrooms]; delays unfortunately cost money.”

The ministry of education contributed $5,275,494 million toward the project and School District 91 contributed the remaining $2,452,418 million.

The revitalization project, which started in September 2013, included demolishing about 60 per cent of the school and replacing education space with five modern modular classrooms, which feature a bright, open design with high ceilings. The project also included renovating the library, the multipurpose area and kitchen.

The design and layout of the school is intended to support learning by including a variety of flexible learning environments from large open spaces to small one-on-one counseling rooms.

The revitalization project was officially completed on Oct. 23, 2015, over a year after its expected completion date - September 2014.

The kindergarten to grade 12 school opened its doors in 1967 to accommodate Granisle’s then rapidly growing population. At one point, the school had approximately 500 students.

Currently there are 33 students enrolled, although the revitalized school has a capacity of 95 students - 20 kindergarten, 50 elementary and 25 secondary students.

Given declining enrolment rates and the building’s deteriorating condition, newly designed modular classrooms were determined as the best solution to revitalize the school. According to the ministry of education, modular classrooms have a 40-year life span and are a more permanent solution to creating school space, compared to portables.

The revitalization project is part of the government's $17-million modular school pilot program to renew aging infrastructures in rural B.C. To date, three aging schools have been updated or replaced through the modular school pilot program, which was announced in 2012.

Fear of refugees not justified

Green shift returns, goes global

When something horrific happens such as the attacks in Paris last week, fear and emotion can sometimes take over people’s rational judgement.

It’s easy to jump to conclusions and try to come up with quick solutions to a much more complex problem.

After 9/11, George W. Bush declared a war against terror and exploited people’s fear of terrorism to justify his decision to invade Iraq. The premise was that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and that these were at risk of falling into the hands of terrorists. However, there were no such weapons and Saddam’s links to Al Qaeda were unproven. Newsweek called the Iraq war Bush’s “biggest blunder.”

After the attacks in Paris, many people - including politicians and entire nations - have turned against accepting more refugees from Syria and Iraq on the basis that it would increase their country’s security risk.

Is this an assumption based on facts or irrational fear?

Let’s not forget that France has only taken in about 4500 Syrian refugees since 2011. Many analysts blame the Paris attacks on intelligence failures, not refugees.

Jean-Pierre Dubois, former President of the Human Rights League in France, told the Toronto Star the attacks in Paris had nothing to do with the wave of immigration. Dubois said the only thing the attack has in common with the refugees is their cause: war in the Middle East.

“The same thing would have happened if we hadn’t welcomed a single refugee,” said Dubois.

Despite the recent events, France’s ambassador to Canada Nicolas Chapuis vowed the attacks would not affect France’s policy towards the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis, according to a Canadian Press story published by the Huffington Post.

“Let’s not be mistaken; the people who are seeking refuge are not the barbarians - they are fleeing the barbarians,” said Chapuis. “The refugees are victims of the cruelty of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, who are only asking to live in freedom and peace.”

“Certainly there will be individuals who are going to try to take opportunity to mix with the refugees in order to spread chaos, but let there be no be mistake: This should not stop us from opening our arms and helping those who are seeking our help,” he added. “It is part of our humanity.”

The truth is that the Islamic State has much to gain with this backlash against refugees. In fact, in an interview to CBC radio, Syrian-American political researcher Nader Atassi said the backlash against refugees will only make it easier for the Islamic State to gain supporters.

“I think what ISIS wants to do is provoke a right-wing backlash against refugees and immigrant communities that come from Islamic countries, because that conflict gives credence to their world view that there is a war between the west and Islam,” he said. “This Islamophobic backlash that we see happening is exactly what they [ISIS] want.”

Atassi said members of the Islamic State believe they’ve created a kind of “Islamic utopia.”

Since thousands of people are now fleeing that utopia, that’s kind of embarrassing to the Islamic State.

“So they [ISIS] think that by provoking this kind of backlash, maybe it will lead people to sympathize with them more,” he said.

Fortunately, the attacks that rocked Paris last week shouldn’t shake the Canadian government’s goal to take in thousands of refugees from Syria. The new Liberal government announced Nov. 14 it will stand firm on its election pledge to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees.

Refugees are not the problem. They are running away from a much bigger problem that the world needs to resolve.

CMCA AUDITED

We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.

“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.

Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris.

We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline.

Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.

The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

cerned about the families that have been touched by FASD and we want to make sure that they have the same opportunities as anybody else does,” he added.

The College of New Caledonia has made a series of cutbacks to address a deficit of $2.8 million in its 2015/16 operational budget. However, the decision to transfer all family programs in Burns Lake had little to do with money.

“The core business of CNC is education, and the core business of the province and the health care system is supporting the family and social programs,” said Reiser. “We’re comfortable with the government and the health services executing their core businesses; our core business is education and that’s what we want to focus on.”

The college is in the process of restructuring its operations across all of its campuses. According to CNC, this restructuring will help improve administrative efficiencies and provide consistency to student services and educational experiences.

Reiser said he encourages all Burns Lake residents to attend CNC’s community meeting once it has been rescheduled.

“We really want the community to participate in these community sessions so that it gives us an opportunity to explain what we’re doing and it gives them [community members] an opportunity to give us their input,” said Reiser.

Burns Lake Mayor Luke Strimbold, who has been actively trying to find a solution for the cutbacks at the Lakes District campus, has stressed how important it is for the community to stand up and hold decision makers accountable.

“We need to advocate and hold decision makers accountable; we need to stand up and advocate for our postsecondary institution, and we need to stand up for those who don’t have a voice.”

Remembrance Day Great hospital Editor: Again, a well-attended Remembrance Day ceremony. With each passing year the number of war vets dwindles, but, oddly, Remembrance Day attendance keeps growing. I arrived a bit early this year, expecting a few moments to myself in the empty bleachers. But no, the place was almost full by 10:30, so I sat wondering -- what draws people to attend this event?

The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month -- the date of the armistice that ended The Great War. That was almost 100 years ago, yet people remember, and keep coming.

One expects to see old people, predominantly men, but the crowd is mixed, more dark heads than silver ones, with many young women and plenty of children.

One expects Caucasians, but there are many First Nation people here too. One expects village residents but many come from the Southside and other rural areas.

What draws us here?

We troop to our seats, each coat displaying a poppy. We glance at each other with respect, as if to say, “So you’re one too, one of those who understands that our country is worth our sacrifice.” Canada’s independence day is July 1, but Remembrance Day gives a greater sense of national pride.

By attending we say

to each other that our country is worth defending, even to die for, and we will stand up for it, always.

The ceremony is much the same every year. A piper leads the veterans, police, firefighters, army cadets, scouts and Tai Kwan Do children as they parade into the gym, arms swinging and boots falling in barely coordinated fashion. Alan Blackwell, one of our last World War II vets, is wheeled in with a group of younger veterans. Donna Harrison and Doug Phair discuss arrangements at the microphone. Once again the German choir director plays The Last Post on her trumpet. Once again the two minutes of silence happens 10 minutes late.

Once again, an army cadet passes out, and then a Tai Kwan Do member. Once again the United Church lay reader says prayers for world peace. Once again 14 representatives lay wreaths, each person marching the whole length of the gym to pick up the wreath, then marching the whole length back to place it, each pausing at attention to symbolically honour the dead.

Once again the program ends with God Save the Queen.

Always the same, but on our way toward the exits this year I was jarred by something striking, ugly, and new

-- a mountie in a flak suit holds an assault rifle at the ready as we filed past. “Why the rifle?” I ask, and he replies, “I’m here for your protection.” Astonishing. An Islamic terrorist might try to murder the citizens of Burns Lake for honouring their war dead. But we live in a new era, and the same precautions are probably happening throughout Canada.

A few minor improvements would make sense for next year. The dot of 11 a.m. is the moment to observe two minutes of silence. All across our province people are silent at 11 a.m. on the dot, except here in Burns Lake where the parade has not even entered the gym.

The placement of the wreaths could be handled better by having the wreaths closer to the presenters so we don’t waste time watching them march down the length of the gym.

And those poor cadets and scouts!

Why not allow them to sit on the floor so they don’t keel over?

Yes, there’s always something, but still, we appreciate the work of those who organize the ceremony every year, for Remembrance Day is our strongest reminder that we live in a great country, one worth fighting for.

Bill Graham

Editor: I am writing this not to let the people of Burns Lake and district know that the new Burns Lake Hospital and health centre is a great asset to our community.

I was admitted to our hospital on Oct. 3, 2015 then transferred to Prince George hospital until the 20 of October at which time I was well enough to continue my I.V. antibiotic treatment in Burns Lake through our hospital emergency department. I find most days the emergency department is busy and I have to wait to be seen. Some days the wait is very short and some days longer, but I would say reasonable wait times.

The rooms in the emergency department are actual rooms and not curtained off areas because these are rooms. It give me confidence that what is discussed with staff will remain confidential.

Our hospital provided all my basic needs and it is a lot less stressful, both on myself and family and friends to be close to home. I had a deluxe room here as compared to my room in Prince George hospital.

I really appreciated having a wall mounted TV which was large enough to be seen with aging eyes.

Being a one cell phone family having a phone in my room helped to connect with family to relieve my own anxiety and theirs.

Also the hospital has adequate parking for cars.

Not only is phone, TV and parking provided it is provided without charge.

I found all the staff and doctors who attended to my recovery helpful, professional and caring.

Good job Burns Lake on a wonderful new hospital. We are so fortunate to have this facility.

Transportation symposium coming

FLAVIO NIENOW The B.C. ministry of transportation and infrastructure and the First Nations health authority will host a transportation symposium in Smithers next week.

The idea is to consult with municipalities and First Nations communities to find transportation solutions that would increase safety along Hwy. 16.

Representatives from 23 First Nations communities along Hwy. 16 and municipal government organizations were invited to the symposium that will take place on Nov. 24, 2015.

Cheslatta Carrier Nation chief Corinna Leween said she has another commitment on that day, but that she is trying to clear her schedule to attend the symposium. Lake Babine Nation chief Wilf Adam confirmed he will be attending the event. Burns Lake Band chief Dan George said he will try to send a representative on his behalf, and Wet'suwet'en chief Karen Ogen said she won't be participating due to another commitment on the same day.

Discussions will take into account previous community engagement and reports including the 2006 Hwy. 16 transportation symposium report and the 2012 missing women commission of inquiry recommendations. In addition, government launched a broad survey that will help guide discussions during the symposium.

"I'm confident that we will be able to develop a vision for a community-based transportation model that is supported by First Nations and municipal communities along the Hwy. 16 corridor,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone.

According to the provincial government, due to the significant distance between communities along the highway corridor, a "one size fits all approach” won't be the solution.

Don’t repeat B.C.’s mistakes, coalition says In their election platform, the Liberals promised to “immediately launch” a national public inquiry into missing and murdered Aboriginal women.

“The disappearance and death of nearly 1200Aboriginal women and girls is an ongoing national tragedy that must come to an

end,” the Liberals said in their election platform.

A coalition of advocacy groups is now urging Justin Trudeau’s government to learn from B.C.'s mistakes when it calls a national inquiry.

British Columbia’s missing women commission of inquiry (MWCI) was led by Wally Oppal in 2012, following the conviction of serial killer Robert Pickton. Many of the more than 60 recommendations as a result of the MWCI have not been implemented. Key among them was the creation of safe transportation along Hwy. 16.

“We need a commitment from prime minister Justin Trudeau at the outset that they will implement all of the recommendations,” said NDP MLA Jenny Kwan during a press conference last week.

“We do not want to see a repeat of the Oppal inquiry.”

Oppal himself has also urged the Liberal government not to follow B.C.'s example, and be more inclusive of affected communities.

"I think if they're going to have one [national inquiry], they should have an inquiry that goes to the various communities and the centres, a commissioner or group of commissioners, to get the voice of the communities,” Oppal said in a Canadian Press story published by CBC. "It never hurts to talk to the communities to get their views and to bring them on side."

In an open letter to Justin Trudeau, the coalition - which includes First Nations and women’s groups, as well as family members of missing and murdered women - called the MWCI a “dismal failure,” saying the inquiry was too narrow to address the root cause of the problem.

The coalition is also asking the federal government to consult with them first before launching a national inquiry.

In addition, grand chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said he would like to see a national inquiry led by women.

“We need to get this right, and we’ll only be able to do that if women take the lead.”

In an interview with The Canadian Press last week, Carolyn Bennett, Canada’s new Indigenous Affairs Minister, indicated that the start of pre-inquiry consultations will be announced before the end of the November, according to story published by Global News.

Holiday Spirit Funding Drive Lakes District Food Bank

Lakes District Family Enhancement Society Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Lakes District Food Bank was able to recover the 40% reduction in our donations last year during our 2014 funding drive.

We are hopeful that we can meet this goal again in order to continue providing food for hungry children and adults.

This is especially critical given the onset of winter.

The demand on the Food Bank rises significantly at this time of year as there is no access to local produce and traditional food sources. Your contributions are essential in making sure this very basic service can continue, especially during the holiday season. Our thanks, in advance, for helping meet this need in our community!

All donors will receive a tax-deductible receipt.

Donations may be dropped off at the Lakes Artisan Centre, or mailed directly to Lakes District Food Bank at Box 777, Burns Lake, BC V0J 1E0. If you require a receipt, please ensure your mailing address is on your cheque.

Flavio Nienow Wet’suwet’en First Nation (WFN) was the only B.C. First Nations group to attend the 2015 China trade mission.

Chief Karen Ogen was in China with premier Christy Clark and the B.C. minister of international trade Teresa Wat from Oct. 30 to Nov. 7, 2015. The delegation also included Janice Nooski, Wet’suwet’en Councillor, and Shannon Haizimsque, Chief Operating Officer of Yinka Dene Economic Development General Partnership (YDEDLP).

The trade mission, which toured four major Chinese cities - Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, focused on strengthening relations between the province and key partners in China.

Chief Ogen took part in several meetings with members of the Canadian and Chinese energy sector and made presentations to Chinese business investors on what it means to build successful working relationships with First Nations in B.C. One of the topics of the trade mission was of particular interest for WFN: liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Chief Ogen’s presentation focused on why government and industry have a legal obligation to consult with First Nations and how First Nations are an integral part of the project development process for LNG. In addition, chief Ogen spoke about an initiative she started - the First Nations LNG Alliance - and its work around educating and sharing knowledge in support of LNG development in B.C. Chief Ogen said it was important for WFN to be a part of the mission and to have First Nations representation. However, she said hopes more First Na-

Slow year for moose hunters in Burns Lake

Conservation officer says moose hunters were left disappointed

Flavio Nienow According to conservation officer Robert (Ron) Leblanc, many hunters in the Burns Lake area were left disappointed after a weak moose hunting season this year.

The general open season for moose in the Skeena region took place from Oct. 20-26, 2015.

“Several hunters I encountered mentioned this was the slowest year they’ve seen,” said LeBlanc.

While moose populations in certain areas of the province remained stable, some areas have been experiencing a decline such as the Cariboo, central Omineca, the North Thompson and Skeena.

In a period of three years, the moose population in B.C. declined over 14 per cent. The 2014 estimate for B.C.’s moose population was from 120,000 to 205,000 with an average range of 162,500. In 2011, the estimate was from 145,000 to 235,000 with an average range of 190,000.

The moose population decline was even higher in the Lakes District.

A 2011/12 survey of the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District confirmed that the moose population in the area had declined by 20 per cent since 2004.

The province is divided into a series of geographically defined wildlife management units (MUs). The MUs for the Burns Lake area are MU 6-4 (south of Burns Lake) and MU 6-5 (Burns Lake).

The most recent data from the provincial government on the number of moose harvested and hunters in the area is from 2012. The province says there were 897 hunters on MU 6-4 and 151 hunters on MU 6-5 during the 2012 general open season; the estimated total number of moose harvested was 168 moose for MU 6-4, and 49 moose for MU 6-5.

Despite this year's slow season for moose hunters, the Burns Lake detachment of the conservation officer service had a fairly busy season.

Leblanc said infractions included discharging a firearm in a recreation site, driving while prohibited, possession of open liquor in a motor vehicle, possession of unlicensed firearm and unlawful possession of dead wildlife.

“We also seized illegal deer, moose and fish, and the meat was donated to needy families," he said.

LeBlanc added that the Burns Lake detachment received a number of excellent tips from the public regarding violators this year.

If caught in illegal activities, hunters could face losing their firearms and hunting privileges, as well as paying fines. The B.C. Wildlife Act sets out fines of up to $50,000 depending on the severity of the case.

To report poachers and polluters, call 1-877-952-7277.

William Konkin ceremony in honour of veterans Submitted photos

William Konkin Elementary School had a very special and touching Remembrance Day assembly last Tuesday. They were honoured to have Sergeant Blackwell, a World War II veteran, come speak with the students and share his medals and stories. Eleven students from Mrs. Davies class volunteered to run the assembly and speak about the significance of the day. The school choir sang and students from Grades 5-7 reciting “in Flander’s Fields” in English and in French. It was a wonderful way to honour our veterans. Lest we forget!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a meeting with premiers in Ottawa to update the country's position on greenhouse gas reductions before they jet to Paris for the latest United Nations climate summit in early December.

Canada's current target is to reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent by 2030.

B.C. has a more aggressive target of reducing emissions 33 per cent by 2020, set by former premier Gordon Campbell.

The buying power of video gamers in Canada isn’t going quite as far this year. In the past new you could expect to pay around $60 for newly released triple A titles, but now as we venture into the big 2015-2016 holiday release season Canadian gamers are looking at $80 per title price tags. This is unfortunately due to the gradual weakening of the Canadian dollar versus the US over the last two years. While this will have a significant effect on the cost of new release titles for as much as the next two to three years, games are devaluing a lot faster after release these days. So if you’re on a tight gaming budget and can afford to wait a few months after release, you can easily stretch your buying power out a bit. On the PC side digital distribution services like Steam, GoG, and Origin are constantly running sales and there are usually big bargains around the holidays.

Consoles have been a bit slower moving away from physical media, and they is typically only one source per console to purchase games online, but hopefully this will open up a bit more in the future.

Gloria Mary (Hanke) Durban

April 5, 1926 to October 27, 2015 Gloria was born on a beautiful spring day in April 1926. She was the youngest of 5 siblings born to Gea and Henry Hanke of Kenmare, North Dakota. Her father and older brother Earl worked in a coal mine. Earl had the unfortunate job of removing the supporting timbers from unused mine shafts with a pickaxe so they could be re-used in newer shafts. It was a job with a low-life expectancy, and when the family saw an advertisement in the local paper, offering free land near Vanderhoof, BC, Henry and Gea loaded up two 0odel 7 automobiles with their belongings and their Àve children: Earl, Hazel, Mabel, Hilda and 5 year old Gloria, and they began a month long journey toward a new life.

They found their way to the south side of Francois Lake, near Molice Lake. Gloria helped her dad Henry with the mink farm; she helped raise and milk goats; and she helped her dad split and pile wood. Gloria attended a one-room schoolhouse at Uncha Valley that was a long two-mile walk from home each day.

Her life changed after she attended a dance at the Francois Lake Hall. Clarence Durban was at that dance, and when he tells the story it starts with: “I saw a redheaded girl and I fell in love” This was the beginning of a 5 year courtship and a 66 year marriage. They were married on June 18th, 1949.

Mom was a logger’s wife, a hunter’s wife, and a shopkeeper’s wife. They owned and operated the Grassy Plains store, and when dad was away, Mom ran the store. She grew our food in a large organic garden, before organic gardening was cool. :e ate Àddleheads, young thistle plants, and young dandelion greens in the spring without photos being posted to Instagram. She was a hard-core recycler before recycling was cool. Debbie wore dresses made from Áour sacks, egg cartons became stools, worn out clothes were used to patch other clothes, or turned into aprons, potholders and Ànally torn into rags. She grew, loved and photographed Áowers at every opportunity. She made the very best cinnamon buns, sugar cookies, and angel food cake with money inside for birthdays.

She loved her grandchildren with her whole heart. She loved nothing better to play with them, and to cook with them. She never missed a birthday party, or a school Christmas concert, or a graduation.

She lived with dementia for the past 7-9 years, and although her world slowly got smaller she was content to live by dad’s side, ever happy to see her family, and showed a love and curiousity for the world right until the end.

She is survived by her loving husband Clarence Durban, who held her hand and sang to her during her Ànal days; her children Gordon (Kim) Durban, Debbie (Brian) Marsh and Barb (Blair) Wilson; her grandchildren (Charlotte, Cory, Jillian, Caitlynn, Avery, Marlee, Richard, Jennifer); and greatgrandchildren. She is predeceased by all of her siblings (Earl Hanke, Hazel Funnell, Mabel Tetreau, and Hilda McPhail) her son Sandy, and great grand-daughter Jada.
