Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer An experienced skier rescued on the backside of the Mt. Timothy Ski Area in the middle of the night said he was fortunate the temperature was 1 only -6 C when he spent 18 hours lost and

alone in the elements last weekend.

“It could have been a lot colder and it might have been different story then,” 27-year-old Matt Bailey said Monday from his home in Lac La Hache. “I am very grateful to South Cariboo Search and Rescue.”

Bailey was first reported missing to ski patrol by his dad, Rock Bailey, at about 1 p.m. Saturday after he failed to come into the lodge to have lunch.

Bailey, who was skiing out of bounds at the time, said he knew he was lost by about 10 a.m. but was unable to find his way back

Wildwood youngster awarded for bravery Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department has a new honorary fire chief.

On Friday nineyear-old Josef Aschwanden received the title when the Cariboo Regional District and CRD Wildwood Fire Department awarded him for bravery in saving his mom Debbie’s life.

Josef was home from school sick on Wednesday, Jan. 13, when his mom became trapped under a 1,000-pound ATV at their home on Mountain House Road north of Williams Lake.

Debbie was trying to unload the ATV off their truck when it slipped off the ramp and landed on top of her.

“He saw it happen and got out his little

book that has all the numbers in it,” Debbie said. “He called 9-1-1 all by himself and then ran out and told me help was on its way.”

Her son even took a photograph of her pinned under the ATV and sent it to his dad Sepp at work to let him know about the emergency situation.

“I had learned about calling 9-1-1 from my mom and dad,” Josef said of his efforts af-

ter receiving his accolades. “Mommy said you call and tell them where you are and what happened and who needs to come.”

He also carefully wrapped his mom in a sleeping bag to keep her warm and stop hypothermia from setting in while they waited for help to arrive.

When the Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department members, with the help of BC

Ambulance Service, arrived and were able to free Debbie, she was then safely transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital, with Josef gathering up his mom’s belongings and travelling with her in the ambulance.

During the CRD board meeting Josef was presented with a certificate of bravery for his heroic actions

by Electoral Area D Director Steve Fors-

eth and CRD Chair Al Richmond.

“Congratulations to Josef for learning about what to do in an emergency and being able to implement what he had learned from his parents about 9-1-1,” said Forseth.

“This is a great example of how important it is for children of all ages, and families to learn about 9-1-1, and know how to use the system in any emer-

gency situation.”

For his part, CRD Wildwood Volunteer Fire Department Chief Randy Worsley presented Josef with one of his own retired Fire Chief helmets.

“We are very proud,” Worsley said. “If he hadn’t done what he did it would have been a totally different outcome.”

Debbie said she is pretty bruised but doing OK.

Mother and son grateful for rescue efforts Continued From Page A1 Bailey said he moved through cut blocks and forested areas trying to find his way back and even made himself a bough bed underneath a canopy of trees, where he hunkered down and rested for a while, waiting for the weather to pass over.

As Bailey struggled to get his bearings, Bailey’s mother Barbara Goodliffe was notified of the unfolding emergency at Mt. Timothy and had her husband Steve Goodliffe and his son Devon conduct an air search in the last hours of daylight hoping and praying to find her son before dark.

“If you put all the odds and stats stacked against this young man the outcome is really a miracle,” Goodliffe said Monday, recalling the night, which she said was the longest she ever endured.

At the lodge,

Goodliffe watched helplessly as an extensive ground search was launched

by South Cariboo Search and Rescue manager James Seeley and his crew of 15, who set out after dark on snowmobiles and snowshoes in search of Bailey.

Working with the ski hill’s patrol staff, SAR members checked the perimeter of the mountain area, while people on snowshoes went down all the Black Diamond runs.

Finally, nine hours into the search, a clue emerged.

“At 1 a.m. we found a single set of ski tracks leading down into a bowl on the back south side of the ski area and located the skier cold but uninjured an hour later,” Seeley said.

“I’m very grateful for the rescue,” Bailey said. “When they found me I think they said I was near Wilcox Road going toward Forest Grove. I was a long ways from

Mt. Timothy.”

As soon as Goodliffe heard they’d found tracks some of the weight was lifted, but it would be another hour before she saw her son with her own eyes arrive on the back of a snowmobile.

“I just wanted to run and give him a hug,” she said.

“I told him I loved him and pulled him inside from the outside elements into the lodge so I could have the nurse check him to make sure he was OK.”

Norquays given conditional discharge in death of dogs Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A man and woman from Williams Lake were given conditional discharges and 12 months probation after pleading guilty to animal cruelty charges in the death of their two small dogs almost two years ago.

In his decision Monday, Provincial Court Judge R. Dennis Morgan said the case against Ryan Norquay and Trish Norquay

lacked evidence that animal cruelty led to the death of their shih tzus in February of 2014.

Morgan said the Norquays were trying to alleviate the dogs’ suffering and pain when they stopped eating, but noted they fell short by failing to take the dogs to a veterinarian when it should have become apparent that their efforts to care for the dogs themselves wasn’t working.

Morgan said mitigating circumstances for his decision were that the Norquays showed genuine remorse, entered guilty pleas, did not have criminal records and had a history of caring for pets properly.

During the trial the court heard about the Norquays personal circumstances at the time of the dogs’ deaths.

Both were doing shift work at a local mine and Trish was

Low commodity prices could impact Mount Polley Mine workers Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Staff and union workers at Mount Polley Mine have been told bonuses and wages may be affected due to low copper prices, confirmed Imperial Met-

als Thursday.

“Under the current economic environment with low commodity prices we have been conscientious about cost-cutting in all areas, including wages,” said Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals vice-president

corporate affairs.

“We’ve been very frank and open with the employees.”

United Steelworkers Union Local 1-425 president Paul French said the company has asked the union to consider deferring the wage increase that

took effect Jan. 1, 2016 under the collective agreement and to defer the copper bonus, which is based on a sliding scale.

“We in turn have not agreed to anything,” French said Thursday.

“The union is look-

ing at the company’s financials to determine if the request is valid.”

In the meantime the next MPM community meeting takes place Wednesday, Jan. 20 in the Gibraltar Room at Cariboo Memorial Complex at 7 p.m.

Tolko Industries Ltd. to curtail eightinch canter line Tolko Industries Ltd. announced Monday it plans to curtail the eightinch canter line at its Lakeview Mill in Williams Lake effective March 4, 2016.

It’s a move that comes because of the ongoing degradation in log fibre quality, increasing log costs and the continued downturn in the Chinese market reducing

Mediation began last Friday and has continued ever since.

TRU faculty gave its 72-hour legal strike notice last Monday, Jan. 11 and held rallies at both Williams Lake and Kamloops campuses Friday, Jan. 15.

Faculty began job action on Thursday, Jan. 14, but so far no classes have been cancelled.

the demand for the mill’s number three and economy lumber, the company said.

“The decision to curtail the canter line may affect approximately 30 people and may result in a change to the current schedule of the mill,” said Troy Connolly, senior general manager of lumber.

“We have informed our employees and our HR team is currently working with local union repreFIR

sentatives to mitigate the impact on any potentially affected employees.”

United Steelworkers Union Local 1-425 president Paul French said Monday the curtailment will impact approximately four jobs, but will result in a net balance with no loss of jobs.

“The company is talking about a different configuration, going from five eight-hour shifts to

four ten-hour shifts, and running three 12-hour shifts on the weekends.

Those weekend shifts will need guys to run them.”

With the mountain pine beetle kill wood supply coming to an end and the cost of going out to get what’s left too high, it’s becoming an issue to get quality timber to the mill,

Less for more

S

ome of us are old enough to remember when W.A.C. Bennett ruled the roost in B.C. Common Sense columnist Rafe Mair, a cabinet minister in that Bennett government, recently reminded his readers of the Bennett vision.

The right-wing Social Credit premier believed the public would be better served if electricity and transportation services were in government hands. So, he bought BC Electric and the ferry system from the private sector and created BC Hydro, and BC Ferries.

The province already owned the railway.

The Crown Corporations provided affordable services with any dividends going to the government.

Fast forward to this century. Former Premier Gordon Campbell sold/gave BC Rail to the private sector, hybridized BC Ferries so the private side gets the benefits, taxpayers the bills, French and began tinConnection kering with BC Diana French Hydro. Premier Clark is finishing that job. (Mr. Mair calls it murder.) I don’t know about the railway, but BC Ferries now has higher fares and poorer service. There isn’t space in this column to list all the Hydro issues, but since 2004, its long-term debt has increased from $6.8 billion to $16.7 billion, annual capital expenditures up from $669 million to $2.169 billion. Interest payments are up 35 per cent.

Ironically, while residential ratepayers are using less electricity, we are paying more. Demand for electricity has dropped for three consecutive years. Along with borrowing to finance activities, Bill Bennett, minister in charge of Hydro, says the corporation borrowed the millions of dollars for dividends it must pay the government.

Among other issues, Hydro’s CEO recently apologized for “misleading” the BC Utilities Commission regarding the purchase of a multi-million dollar computer system, which has been having problems. The corporation is also bulling ahead with the controversial Site C dam ($9 billion construction, not counting environmental damage or court cases.) Many experts say BC doesn’t need the extra power.

Mr. Mair believes the only way Hydro can recover from its financial mess is with a massive injection of government funds, increased user fees, or both. Or maybe selling it at a bargain price to the private sector?

Stopping crime up to all It isn’t only men and women in uniform who can curb crime – anyone is capable of contributing. Williams Lake and District Crime Stoppers proves that, year after year.

January is Crime Stoppers Month and a fine time to recognize the valuable service that the program provides along with its partners in the community, media and the Williams Lake RCMP. Technology has the potential to make things easier on tipsters. Those who witness crimes don’t have to call the tipline from a pay phone and hang up; it’s simpler than ever to submit information electronically — even via smartphone — and create useful dialogue with law enforcement.

Crime continues to be troubling in Williams Lake and in any community, but there are sometimes indicators that the statistics are moving in the right direction.

Across Canada, the crime rate has been on an overall decline for two decades.

There is an argument that society nowa-

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

days lacks good, old-fashioned values, and while that may be true, we do possess good, modern values. Forms of abuse and violence that may have been socially accepted in past generations are no longer tolerated.

So if we know that crime is intolerable and unacceptable, then it shouldn’t be a stretch to want to be a part of the solution.

And that’s where Crime Stoppers comes in.

Whatever the stats show, crime happens and will continue to happen. Certain heinous crimes we can only lament from afar and feel powerless, but in our own communities we can make a difference. We can be deputies, in a way — eyes and ears, Block Watchers, Crime Stoppers, the superhero’s sidekick who sometimes, improbably, saves the day.

Hopefully the situation will never arise where we’re anywhere close to a crime. But when it does happen, let’s try to be Crime Stoppers.

he arts enrich our lives, bring our community together and foster our creative economy. The arts entertain us, inspire us and spark dialogue.

Communities in the Cariboo are stronger, healthier and more vibrant when there is a wide variety of theatre, musical and art amenities available close to home. The B.C. Arts Council plays a vital role in support for arts and culture in the Cariboo by supporting artists and outstanding cultural groups. It calls on the expertise of British Columbia’s artists to evaluate grant applications through a peer review process independent of government.

From words, to visual art, to dance, theatre and music, there is a variety of mediums that can be used to express the arts.

The recent MLA Cariboo ChilcoMusings tin Film Festival which opened the Coralee Oakes Williams Lake Film Club’s second part of its season this month, is an example of an organization that enriches our arts and cultural scene here in Williams Lake.

The upcoming Williams Lake Winter Carnival (Jan. 30 and 31) is another example of an organization that contributes to cultural diversity. Arts and culture are key building blocks for creative and vibrant communities and they are essential to our quality of life.

Do you work for an arts or cultural organization? From now until Jan. 30, B.C. arts and cultural organizations can apply for project assistance funding from the B.C. Arts Council to help produce local arts festivals. Awards under this program are intended to assist with the fees paid to professional artists and technicians hired for the event.

Projects eligible for awards can include original work, existing material, or exploring diverse work. Festivals may showcase a combination of local and touring artists.

Awards will provide up to $7,500 and priority will be given to festivals engaging B.C. and Canadian artists. Applications must be postmarked no later than Monday, Feb. 1.

I encourage arts and cultural organizations to apply. For more and eligibility criteria, go to www.bcartscouncil.ca. By supporting local events, we can ensure that arts and culture continue to thrive and prosper.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction.

MORE VIEWPOINTS Where are improvements? Question of the week Editor: I am responding to a letter submitted by Henry Van Soest recently. I don’t have anything to add to his letter, other than full support. I do agree with all the points made.

It seems each election year we all get knocks on the door and phone calls asking for our support come election day.

Once the election is over, no more knocks, no more phone calls.

Instead the elected officials hide in their chambers and pass ridiculous bylaws such as the sidewalk cleaning bylaw that Mr. Van Soest talked about.

Put the pressure on the home

or business owner.

What would make more sense at a time that the economy is what it is, create some employment, have someone paid by our tax money clean the sidewalks with the machines I know they have.

For example, my sidewalk on Barnard close to the Legion is so worn out, one would need a rubber shovel to clean it.

The sidewalk is full of holes, the surface is completely destroyed from the years of rain, ice and snow.

I often wonder who would get taken to court if someone injured themselves walking on it in the summer time.

Being close to the Legion

plenty of elderly people do use it.

It is a mess and it seems nothing is in the works to replace it.

The downtown area, at this moment, is a mess. Granted, it’s a bad time of year.

The sidewalk bylaw has to be revisited.

We pay taxes and they, the city, get their money every year.

In five years at this location and all taxes paid, I have not seen five cents worth of improvements.

We need our residents to get on board, make some noise and get some changes in place.

Alan Hunt Williams Lake

Continuing to build on faith Editor:

On behalf of the congregation of First Baptist Church, we want to thank the many people who have helped us do what we do.

Many over the last decade have regularly helped stock our Free Store and we are continually amazed at what comes in — thank you so much. And to the businesses that carry our monthly newsletter — thank you for helping us convey biblical truth.

We concluded our 55th year with the clear direction that F.B.C. really stands for Faith

Building Centre.

Our congregation is older and smaller, yet we serve God who is not limited and so faith in His provision is how we get by.

There are regular supporters from outside our congregation who believe in the work we are doing, we saw the Lord’s provision for our recent roof repair and renovations, and He even sent a bus load of Christians travelling to Alaska, who took up an offering to leave with the first Church they would see.

Upon entering my 14th year, the longest tenure of any pastor of F.B.C., I would like to offer something to the community of

Williams Lake.

As a small and elderly assembly we don’t have much to offer, but we do have the truth of God’s Word, and while we live in an information age, there is not a lot of wisdom.

I want to offer a weekly presentation of wisdom, God’s wisdom as revealed in the Bible, as a way to give back.

It is not that I consider myself a wise man, but after study of God’s wisdom for the past two decades I can confidently present His wisdom for all people.

A mother’s most feared phone call ends with best possible outcome Editor: One of a mother’s most feared phone calls happened Saturday, Jan. 16, 2016. Matthew’s father Rock Bailey called at 3 p.m. and said: “Barb there is something terrible that has happened to Matthew. He is missing, and we can’t find him. We are at Mt. Timothy, and he has been missing since 8:30 a.m. this morning.”

As soon as I hung up, I called my husband Stephen, who was with his son, Devon, and asked him to take out the helicopter and to have a look for Matthew as both men are professional pilots.

Daylight fading only allowed for a short search of the active ski hill

Letters aLways weLcome

without results.

Quickly making a few other essential connections, I was ready to head out to Mt. Timothy. It was one of my longest nights I’ve ever endured. When I arrived at the First Aid Cabin, the ski patrol staff informed me of the search that they had conducted, but unsuccessful in finding Matthew.

Not long after that, James Seeley of South Cariboo SAR began putting a team and plan together.

The first call James made was to set a perimeter around the mountain base. The grid keeps the team in bounds while searching. Once that was in place, the team did a quick sweep and combed the face of the mountain.

My heart ached at the news that no tracks or any visual sign of Matthew were found for the second time. It was getting very late into the night. I would stare out the window feeling helpless, as I watched team members covered in snow come and go into the lodge, each time with a chill of cold air following them inside. I could hear the wind; all I could do was pray that the Lord would not allow my son to become buried under the snowdrift, and to hold off from any more snow falling, or from temperatures dropping.

My mind battled from all kinds of horrific thoughts, but my faith kept bringing me back to believing and knowing my son would

be found, and would come off the mountain.

James kept his team focused and moving towards the goal of bringing Matthew back to us. Before I knew it, SAR was ready to go back onto the mountain and look again. Only this time, the combing was going to be much more thorough. Each team would walk for two minutes, stop and blow their whistles and wait for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds the process would be repeated until the entire mountain was combed or until Matthew was found.

While I listened intensely to the radio, I could hear that there were some tracks discovered. I felt my prayers were answered.

Another two more calls came in with more co-ordinates as the team followed the lead of tracks.

Finally, the tracks stopped, and there was Matthew! It felt like I was in the Apollo 13 movie, celebrating the good news.

Many people were involved in the search, and I can’t thank them enough for their efforts. The Mt. Timothy staff, the SAR volunteers, my friends, and family and the prayer chains organized by Pastor Jeremy and other churches who joined in, all worked together. They have my eternal gratitude.

Grace Dove lands big role in blockbuster, The Revenant Gaven Crites 100 Mile Free Press In Los Angeles at the world premier of the

new blockbuster movie, The Revenant, Grace Dove stood on the red carpet between two of Hollywood’s favourite

leading men — Tom Hardy and Leonardo DiCaprio — cameras flashing and the beautiful, young Shuswap

actress, luxurious hair spilling over the shoulder of her shining blue dress, looked every bit the movie star.

In the last two months, the Canim Lake Band member, who grew up in Prince George and studied

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Power Line Corridors 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.

The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation under, above and near BC Hydro’s power lines in order to maintain the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro manages its transmission and distribution system and associated power line corridors, access roads and helipads.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, mowing, girdling, grooming, pruning, tree removal), cultural (compatible land use), biological (release of parasitic insects to control invasive plants), and chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods.

The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent clopyralid – Lontrel or equivalent diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive, or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with an herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar (low pressure spray), mechanical foliar (boom, nozzle, powerhose, or wick), or injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforcorridors.

Alternatively, it’s available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George.

BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8.

Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

acting in Vancouver, has gone from near anonymity on TV to the pages of the New York Times and to the big screen in movie theatres across the world after landing the lifechanging role of DiCaprio’s character’s wife in the recently released big-budget Western thriller.

Filmed partly in B.C. and Alberta, The Revenant was directed by Academy Award-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman, 21 Grams) and is said to be a likely frontrunner in the 2016 Oscar race.

Grace was in correspondence with the 100 Mile Free Press recently while spending

time with her family in B.C. during the holiday season.

Grace’s grandparents are Sandy and May Archie and her parents are Martyn and Georgina Syme.

She has two older brothers, Joseph and Thomas.

Georgina, her mother, grew up in Canim Lake, the small First Nations community near 100 Mile House.

“I am so grateful for my Secwepemc heritage and the ancestors who guide me in my day-to-day life,” Grace said in response to a question about her history in this part of B.C. See CANIM Page A9

Eight groups share more than $300,000 in provincial grants Five social service organizations in Williams Lake, two in 100 Mile House and one in Lone Butte have received a combined $302,230 in community gaming grants from the B.C. government.

• Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre Association (Williams Lake): $88,030 • Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and District: $50,000 • Williams Lake Hospice Society: $60,000 • Cariboo Memorial Hospital Auxiliary (Williams Lake): $2,000 • Knights of Columbus #4785 (Williams Lake): $9,200 • Lone Butte, Horse Lake Community Association: $10,000 • 100 Mile House and District Women’s Centre Society: $11,000 • Educo Adventure School (100 Mile House): $72,000 “These organizations make such essential contributions to our communities that I cannot imagine if they did not exist,” Cariboo-

Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said. “I am proud that our government continues to support their amazing work through these grants.”

These grants are awarded under the Human and Social Services category of the community gaming grant program, which allows non-profit organizations to apply for provincial gaming revenues from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. Gaming grants are also awarded in the categories of Public Safety, Sports and Arts and Culture, Parent Advisory Councils and District Parent Advisory Councils, and Environment. Every year, the provincial government approves $135 million in gaming grants that benefit more than 5,000 local non-profit organizations.

Organizations interested in applying for community gaming grants can find information and applications at gaming.gov.bc.ca/ grants/.

Shuswap actress Grace Dove, originally from Canim Lake, is finding international acclaim after starring in The Revenant with Oscar-nominated actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Canim Lake-born actress finds success alongside Leonardo DiCaprio Continued From Page A8

Alejandro believed I had what it took to play with some of the most recognized actors of our time, so I had to believe in myself and stand grounded in my moccasins.

“To work alongside Leonardo DiCaprio is such an honour, and I have nothing but gratitude for his mentorship. He is truly amazing at what he does, and his work encourages me to continue towards my dreams.”

Looking ahead, Grace says 2016 is going to be a huge year.

She is currently finishing Season 4 of UnderEXPOSED, which is set to air in 2017.

“I already have

other opportunities in the works; I’m just waiting for the right script. I have no doubt I will continue working hard and saying yes to my dreams.”

Grace also has a message for all the youth in the Cariboo: “Don’t let anyone tell you something isn’t possible.”

“Most often people didn’t believe in me as much as I did and that didn’t stop me.

Be persistent and get out of your own way.

The world is an exciting place and just waiting for you to say yes to your dreams.

“Move forward with love, and always remember your roots.

Looking back on her youth, Grace said she has always been a performer and comfortable in front of the camera.

She booked her first TV show, Splatterday, on CKPG in Prince George when she was 11, and Grace added she knew then that she had found her life’s ambition.

After that, she continued working with the TV station as “Fun-chaser,” a community reporter, along with many theatre projects along the way.

Her parents asked her to graduate from high school before pursuing her journey

to Hollywood, and she obliged.

After attending acting school in Vancouver she auditioned regularly for a number of years without success before booking her current TV show, UnderEXPOSED, an action-adventure sports series that has a new season coming out this month on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network.

When the audition for The Revenant came along, Grace says she used the tools she had been crafting over those years to land the part.

“Working on this high-level production made me better in every way, as a person and as an artist.

Studio Theatre’s Making God Laugh starts tonight

Michaei Rawluk photo

Making God Laugh stars include Sylvia Swift (back left) as Ruth, Mark Berezan as Bill; Shane Tollefson (seated front left) as Richard, Jamie Bourdon as Maddie, and Dan Patterson as Tom.

The Studio Theatre’s production of Making God Laugh by Sean Grennan begins a two week run Wednesday, Jan. 20.

Directed by Chris Armstrong, Making God Laugh follows one typical American family over the course of 30 years’ worth of holidays.

The cast includes Sylvia Swift as Ruth, Jamie Bourdon as Maddie, Mark Berezan as Bill, Shane Tollefson as Richard and Dan Patterson as Tom. Starting in 1980, Ruthie and Bill’s grown children — a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football star — all return home, where they share their plans

and dreams as they embark on their adult lives.

The empty-nester parents contend with their own changes, too, as old family rituals are trotted out and ancient tensions flare up.

As time passes, the family discovers that, despite what they may

Maple taffy, sweet treat for Winter Carnival Freshly made maple syrup candy will be one of the free sweet treats at the Williams Lake Winter Carnival coming up in Boitanio Park.

“It’s a pretty basic Canadian technique of heating the maple syrup to candy temperature,” says event organizer Deanna Phillips.

She says tables will be set up to hold snow or possibly blocks of ice with a skiff of snow on top.

The maple syrup is heated up then allowed to cool for just a few moments on the snow before being rolled onto a popsicle stick.

“The end result is maple taffy on a stick,” Phillips says.

“Having grown up outside of B.C. I used to get to do this every year through school and absolutely loved it,” Deanna says.

“I hope it will be a great addition to the Winter Carnival this year and that people who have not had the chance to try out this great Canadian treat enjoy it as much as I always did.

She says the maple taffy will be supplied free for the public with all of the syrup being donated by the Sugar Shack at 70 Mile House and other materials such as propane, tubs for snow, baby wipes etc. is being donated by Hytest Timer.

Talking and sharing eases caregiver burden Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer One of the services the Alzheimer Society of B.C. provides for family caregivers is a monthly support group.

In Williams Lake the group is facilitated by Susan Zanette, who has worked with elderly people most of her life and is now retired.

Zanette also has personal reasons for facilitating the group in that she has experienced the pain and challenges of caring for people in her own family who have lived with dementia.

“I’ve always worked with people who had dementia and I found their family caregivers weren’t getting the attention they needed,” Zanette says. “It is very easy for caregivers to get burned out.

“Statistics have shown that caregivers will often die before the person they are looking after because they don’t take time to look after themselves.”

Zanette became the group facilitator a year and a half ago after taking a three-day training course with the Alzheimer Society in Vancouver.

She says the two most serious problems for caregivers are stress and depression which can both lead to burnout. Talking with people who are sharing the same experiences helps to alleviate some of that stress. What is said in the room, stays in the room, she added.

“We do a lot of laughing, some crying and a lot of sharing,” Zanette says. “People often feel so alone when they are caring for a loved one with dementia. Being able to talk about their experiences and problems in a safe environment is the first step in a caregiver maintaining a healthier lifestyle.

Gaeil Farrar photo

Susan Zanette facilitates the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s support group in Williams Lake which provides a safe, confidential setting in which people can share their concerns and frustrations about caring for and communicating with a loved one who is living with dementia.

She says people who come to the support group are aware that the person for whom they are caring has dementia and invariably say they feel so much better about their situation after spending some time with the group.

In the group she says one of the key skills caregivers learn is how to communicate more positively with their loved one.

For instance, she says there is no point in reminding a person with dementia who slips back in time that they don’t have cows to feed anymore or that their spouse died a few years ago.

Just try to reassure the individual that everything is OK, she says, the spouse is just out visiting and will be back soon, or that someone else in the family has fed

the animals.

“Therapeutic fibbing is OK,” Zanette says. “Reality orientation and correcting a person with dementia doesn’t work and just adds to their anxiety.”

The support group meets on the first Wednesday of each month in the conference room at the Seniors Village from 1 to 3 p.m.

In order to join the support group caregivers must first register with the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. by contacting Tara Hildebrand, the Williams Lake and Central Interior education and support co-ordinator.

Hildebrand will provide new members with a package of pertinent literature.

The local support group also offers literature covering various topics such as the characteristics of the different tests for dementia, ways of coping with difficult issues such as a loved one’s fear of bathing, complicated behaviours, seemingly irrational fears, large family gatherings, and communication problems, etc.

The society also has information on other community resources that caregivers may not realize are available to them such as counselling if they are experiencing serious depression, and in-home assistance, available to give the caregiver a break during the week to go shopping, to a doctor’s appointment, or just enjoy an afternoon on their own.

Longer term respite care for individuals with dementia is also available for a week or two at a time in care facilities such as Deni House or the Seniors Village.

This is set up in order to give the caregiver a rest, Zanette says.

“The group is just one small part of the support services available for family caregivers,” Zanette says.

Dementia Friends learn about support role Williams Lake area residents are encouraged to become Dementia Friends, says Tara Hildebrand, education and support co-ordinator for the Alzheimer Society of B.C., Williams Lake and Central Interior.

She says Dementia Friends meet in Williams Lake once a month and are committed to learning a little bit about dementia so they can be supportive and inclusive toward people with the illness, which has become one of the country’s most pressing health issues.

“People affected by dementia continue to live in and be a part of our communities, and we can

support them to stay connected in ways that are meaningful for them,” Hildebrand says. “Through individual actions we can raise awareness of dementia and reduce the stigma attached to it.”

She says statistics suggest three out of four Williams Lake and area residents know someone living with dementia.

The Dementia Friend campaign is the cornerstone of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, which runs until the end of January. Becoming a Dementia Friend is easy, says Hildebrand.

The process starts by signing up at DementiaFriends.ca.

The next step is to understand

five simple things about dementia: • It is not a natural part of aging.

• It is not just about losing your memory. Dementia can affect thinking, communicating and doing everyday activities.

• It is possible to live well with dementia.

• There is more to a person than a diagnosis of dementia.

• The Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Central Interior branch is here to help Williams Lake area residents with dementia and their care partners.

That knowledge can easily translate into action at home and work, Hildebrand says.

The non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. has supported people living with dementia for 35 years.

One of its initiatives, First Link, connects people affected by dementia with information, society support services and programs such as Minds in Motion®, and dementia education sessions at any stage of the journey.

Williams Lake area residents can find out about upcoming education sessions by contacting Leanne Hildebrand at 250-377-8200 (toll-free 1-800-886-6946) or thildebrand@alzheimerbc.org, and visiting www.alzheimerbc.org.

It can help us to communicate.

It makes us more creative It helps us switch from task to task more easily.

It also increases all the “feel-good” hormones in your body which can lead to improvements in mood. This is true for everyone but especially true for learning disabilities, young children, and older adults.

Dementia-friendly actions Here are some tips to help people to connect with a person living with dementia: • Patience is key for dementia-friendliness.

• Use respectful language. People living with dementia are not “sufferers” or “patients.”

• Address the person with dementia, rather than those around them, when talking about their experience

living with the disease.

• Connect, don’t correct.

Respond to feelings being shared.

• Use precise language when describing actions or tasks.

• Give directions slowly and clearly.

• Focus on a person’s strengths and share tasks with them, like washing dishes or helping them to order at a coffee shop or restau-

• Become educated on dementia and on how to help, by visiting www.alzheimerbc.org.

Alzheimer Society reports indicate that in 2011, 747,000 Canadians were living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. One in five Canadians aged 45 and older provides some form of care to seniors living with longterm health problems.

Bert (Bertie) Eicher died Sunday, Dec. 20, 2015 after a short, but valiant battle with cancer.

He leaves behind his devastated wife, Sylvia and faithful dog Franzie.

In Switzerland, left to mourn are his surviving siblings, Waedi, Marta and Marlies, his brother-in-law Hansi and wife, Lilo, along with many nieces and nephews.

In the Cariboo, B.C., across Canada,

the U.S. and Europe, are countless friends also reeling from the loss, all of whom feel blessed and privileged to have known him, a true, loyal and jovial friend.

To mention his name brought a smile to all our faces, his “joie de vie” and his laughter, almost “ticklish,” as you just had to laugh with him.

It would be impossible to list his very special friends and buddies of more than

50 years, along with all the friends he has made in his life’s journey.

Bert was born in Rueti (Zurich), on June 1, 1940, one of nine children.

After his schooling he apprenticed as a tile setter and became a master of his trade.

In the late fall of 1967, he and six friends emigrated by ship to Montreal, with all their worldly belongings and two Volkswagens.

After some travelling

in the U.S. and Canada, they all settled in Vancouver, giving those two VWs a rest!

Bert became an active member of the Canadian-Swiss club and joined in many activities.

He sang with the choir, played the Alphorn, and became a champion in cross bow, all of which resulted in many gigs and competitions throughout the U.S. and Canada.

In 1988 Bert and his wife moved to the

Cariboo and found land just outside Williams Lake and over the years have created their unique piece of paradise.

Although they didn’t have children of their own, Bert became an adopted dad, a substitute dad to many, and a beloved godparent and opa to many children, the smile and twinkle in his eye captivating them at first sight.

He was such a loving, caring and kind man.

GET UP TO

50,000 MILES

TOYOTA IS NOW AN AEROPLAN® PARTNER

Bert was never without feline friends or a faithful dog, all who lived longer than most household pets. We are sure this was his magic he bestowed on them.

He was happiest sitting at the head of the table inside or, out on the balcony, surrounded by these adoring purring cats, his dog nudging him for a pat on the head, the daily newspaper, a glass of wine and his “Schatze” beside him.

He enjoyed, and was a connoisseur of wines and schnapps.

His own wine was of high international standards. He made some wonderful remedies for “bauchweh” (stomach ache) and it seemed a bit strange that, if you were lucky to be invited to “supper,” which would always be a culinary delight, it would be common place to complain of “bauchweh” just to be offered a

little remedy! Luckily, the great team of Sylvia and Bert was never offended by this and were always exemplary hosts.

He loved hunting, and again, anyone who had the privilege of being invited along with his hunting partners, were in for a gastronomical experience as well.

Many who went hunting after that shopped for rack of lamb, pork medallions and a good wine in place of hot dogs, chips and a six pack!

Wine was enjoyed in a wine glass and never in a plastic cup.

His hearty laugh, his way of making everything OK and to carry on regardless was enviable.

There are so many stories to tell, but he enjoyed life as best he could and to its fullest.

If everyone told one story, the resulting book would be a best-seller with many sequels.

Having had such a great friend will be treasured forever by all of them.

In hospital, the wonderful staff remarked on the copious amount of visi-

tors, and how he must have such a big family.

When they were told, all his family were in Switzerland except his wife, and the people were just his friends, they were astonished.

I think that, in itself, gives the measure of him and just how much he will be truly missed and never forgotten.

The flowers we lay upon his grave May wither and decay, But the love for him who lies beneath Will never fade away.

Bookings accepted for WOW 2016 The Women’s Contact Society is gearing up for its next big event WOW 2016: Women, Opportunities, Weddings taking place Sunday, March 6.

The event will be held in the Thompson Rivers University gymnasium from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with funds raised going to the society’s Beauty from the Inside Out

program for teen girls.

WOW 2016 is building on the bridal fair the society hosted last year, says event co-ordinator Ashley Hyde.

This year’s event will also include businesses that don’t necessarily cater to weddings, she says.

“We will have a fashion show which will include bridal wear as well as other formal wear,” Hyde

“This event will give people the chance to see what our community offers in regards to businesses, homebased and locally owned. There will be door prizes and a variety of vendors to check out.”

Every couple of months groups of 20 students from these programs gather at the GROW Centre on Second Avenue to work with educational assistant Amandah Cullum on creating paintings they can take home and be proud to hang on their walls, says Distant Education teacher Ann Pilszek.

“Amandah is a talented artist in her own right and we are very fortunate to have her skills and capable, patient manner of tutelage with our students,” Pilszek says.

She says some of the students apply the workshops toward an art credit for graduation while for others the painting workshops help to build self-esteem.

and unique results,” Cullum says.

She is hoping to do one or two more of the painting workshops for the combined group of Skyline and Distant Education students.

Distance Education students are home schooled students in grades Kindergarten to 7 who come to the GROW centre once a week for enrichment activities.

Skyline students are secondary students in grades 8 to 12 who have chosen the more flexible alternate education route to graduation.

As the educational assistant for the Distant Education program Cullum teaches art classes with this group on a regular ba-

sis. She says they are currently focused on mixed media portraits, directed drawing, acrylic on canvas painting, and creating art from recyclable materials.

She says principal Mike Franklin and the teachers and staff have been very encouraging and supportive of the painting workshops, supplying easels, brushes, paint and canvases for the work.

The painting workshops open doors for children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to explore art, Cullum says.

“It is so empowering and fulfilling for all of us,” Cullum says.

“Parents have been very encouraging as well,” adds Pilszek.

The average smoker has 7 quit attempts before they are finally successful. Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health and well being.

The Smokers’ HelpLine (@ SmokersHelpline) can help!

Call 1-800-363-5864 to get started on a plan.

We all have our reasons to quit.

Quitting takes practice.

Practice often! #NNSW2016 #WeedlessWednesday

MARIJUANA AND CANCER

It is biologically possible for smoking marijuana to increase cancer risk since marijuana smoke contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke.

Also, people who smoke marijuana tend to inhale more smoke per puff and hold it in their lungs for longer than people who smoke tobacco cigarettes.

The fact that many people who smoke marijuana also smoke tobacco or mix the marijuana with tobacco makes it harder to know whether marijuana causes cancer. Also, because there is no standard amount of THC (the main active ingredient in marijuana) in every marijuana cigarette, it is hard to compare results across different studies.

Smokers and people who use smokeless tobacco products (such as chewing tobacco or snuff) must decide to quit for their own reasons and in their own time. Using tobacco is a tough addiction to beat and many people find it really hard to quit. But there are lots of good reasons to quit smoking and using smokeless tobacco products. For example, quitting improves your health and the health of family and friends exposed to your secondhand smoke.

THE QUICK HIT

No matter how long you’ve smoked, your health will improve when you quit. Your body will start to reverse some of the damage done by smoking. You’ll see some changes right away. Others will happen as time goes by.

• Within 20 minutes of your last cigarette, your blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal.

• Within 8 hours, carbon monoxide levels in your blood drop.

• Within 2 weeks to 3 months, you’ll find it easier to breathe because your lungs are working better.

• After 1 year, your risk of a smokingrelated heart attack is reduced by half.

• After 10 years, your risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of someone who is still smoking.

The single most important thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer is to live smokefree.

Smoking and lung cancer Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Canada. It is estimated that smoking is related to more than 85% of lung cancer cases in Canada.

Smokers are about 20 times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers.

The longer a person smokes and the more cigarettes smoked each day, the more the risk increases.

Smokers are also at a higher risk if they’re exposed to radon or certain chemicals in their home or workplace and continue to smoke.

Most forms of lung cancer develop gradually and do not produce any symptoms until the disease is advanced.

This makes it hard to find lung cancer early enough for a cure.

Non-smokers and lung cancer Each year, more than 250 Canadians die from lung cancer as a result of long-term exposure to the tobacco smoked by other people (second-hand smoke) at home, at work and when they’re out and about.

Some lung cancers may also be due to exposure to radon gas, diesel exhaust and other chemicals in outdoor air pollution, asbestos and certain chemicals in the workplace.

Smoking and other cancers Smoking can also increase the risk of developing the following types of cancer: bladder, cervix, colon and rectum, esophagus, kidney, larynx, mouth and throat, pancreas, stomach, nasal cavity, liver, acute myelogenous leukemia and some types of ovarian tumours.

Studies have shown that quitting smoking is still helpful even if you have cancer. If you have cancer and continue to smoke, it can make your treatment less effective and may make treatment side effects worse. Quitting smoking may also lower the risk of your cancer returning or of you developing a second cancer.

Smoking or using chewing tobacco or snuff is an expensive habit, so quitting saves you money. Your health and life insurance premiums may be less. You could put the money you would have spent on tobacco in a jar and then treat yourself. ~ Canadian Cancer Society

Williams Lake Blue Fins aggregate, relay and IM top three finishers during the weekend were Keanna Saunders (back from left), Shaylee Stewart, Mikah Stewart, Kara Zavitz, Landon Christensen, Cristelle Panida (front from left), Dane Ramier, Rowan Smith, Andrew Haseldine and Liam McCreight.

Blue Fins impress after holiday break The Williams Lake Blue Fins tested the waters in Quesnel during the weekend for their first swim meet of the new year.

Twenty-five swimmers travelled north with the team and came away with some solid results, said head coach Chad Webb.

“Although only back in the water two weeks after the Christmas break all swimmers posted many best times in most of their events,” he said.

With 82 top-three results in their events the team finished

just behind the host team and ahead of Prince George by more than 20 top-three placements.

Webb said significant improvements came from many swimmers. In particular, he pointed to Andrew Haseldine, Isabelle Knox, Makena Petruk, Taylor Fitzgerald, Keanna Saunders, Morgan Langford, Cristelle Panida and Dane Ramier.

Additionally, he said Peyton Bailey and Eric Haseldine swam at their first out-of-town meet. Bailey finished first in the

25-metre freestyle and fourth in the 100-metre individual medley.

Webb said the number of best times coming after the holiday break was impressive.

Haseldine and Knox were named swimmers of the meet by Blue Fins’ coaches.

“Isabelle for her significant improvement and hard work and Andrew for his improvements and sportsmanship over the weekend,” Webb said.

Five swimmers — Kara Zavitz, Saunders, Liam McCreight

and Kelsey Blokland — are now continuing their training toward the provincial championship swim meets.

The quintet will travel to the ‘AA’ championships in Penticton Feb. 12-14, while Fitzgerald will be the lone Blue Fins’ swimmers to compete at the ‘AAA’ championships in Victoria March 3-6.

The Blue Fins are also hosting their annual Cariboo Dental Clinic Meet on Feb. 27-28 where teams from Quesnel, Prince George and Kamloops will attend.

Falcons host home tournament in preparation for zone championships Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Lake City Falcons senior girls basketball team is improving steadily as they prepare for February’s North Central Zone Championship.

That was evident to head coach Raj Lalli following the team’s home tournament Friday and Saturday at the Lake City Secondary School Williams Lake Campus.

The Falcons opened the tournament Friday versus Peter Skene Ogden of 100 Mile House, taking a 45 to 20 win.

Falcons’ forward Naomi Lomavatu led all scorers with 12 points, while guard Melanie Wintjes

A division of

chipped in 10.

“Morgan Blois stepped into the point guard position as our starting point guard could not attend the tournament,” Lalli said.

“Morgan played strong defence and was key to moving the ball well on offence.”

Next, on Saturday morning, Lake City battled hard but came up on the wrong side of 45-34 contest versus Correlieu of Quesnel.

Wintjes racked up 11 points before leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle, while Blois dropped eight.

In their final game of the tournament the Falcons, again,

came up just shy of a victory, falling 4640 to Kelly Road of Prince George.

Lalli said Kaitlyn Berkelaar earned herself MVP honours in the game.

“She played a tough game. Strong on defence and also scored eight points,” Lalli said. “She is improving with every game and is the only player who has been able to attend every tournament so far.”

Lomavatu, meanwhile, was strong for the Falcons all tournament. “[She’s] an essential presence but was limited by her foul trouble against Correlieu,” Lalli said.

“Her rebounding, defence and scoring

were important for us in order to be competitive against Kelly Road.”

Lalli added Lori Saunders, meanwhile, was productive off the bench, displaying defensive hustle, with six points against Kelly Road, and Lori Fontaine played a strong game versus Correlieu.

“We have three more tournaments leading up to the zone tournament in Fort St. John in February,” Lalli said.

“I’m hoping that we can have a consistent starting lineup going into zones. It’s been a struggle due to players’ working schedules, injuries and other commitments.”

Mendoza, Eduardo “Eddie” 1938-2016 Eduardo “Eddie” Mendoza died peacefully at the Fraser Hope Lodge, on January 13th, 2016, in Hope, BC at the age of 77.

Eddie is survived by Aurora and their 5 children: Ederlaine Peterson (Chad), Charles Mendoza (Carol), Grace Bergen (Terry), Heidi Rattay (Dean), Lisa Mendoza-Hulka (Peter), and 8 much-loved grandchildren. Eddie is preceded in death by his parents, and his older brother Narciso (coincidentally the day before on January 12th, 2016 in Seattle).

Eddie was born on October 14, 1938 in Bocaue Bulacan, Philippines.

He studied agriculture, and became an Agricultural Teacher. He came to Canada in 1966 and worked at the BC Teacher’s Federation. Aurora came to Canada in 1967 and went to teach at Atlin, Cassiar, and eventually the Alkali Lake Reserve outside of Williams Lake. Eddie moved out of Vancouver and up to Williams Lake to join her. They married in 1970, and all of their children were born and raised in Williams Lake.

Eddie did not teach in Williams Lake, but instead purchased properties as rental investments. Eventually, he and Aurora bought and ran the Mt. View Store before selling it to Jack Leong (his best friend).

We would like to thank Dr. Ruane, the medical community and the Williams Lake Seniors Village for the outstanding care given to John over the last 4 years.

Edith “Joan” Latin (nee Fraser) September 18, 1928- January 15, 2016

Joan Latin passed on January 15, 2016 in Deni House with her family by her side ( age 87) after suffering a stroke on November 30th. Joan was predeceased by husband Frank in 1966. Surviving are her six children and sister-in-laws; Mary Skipp, Alix Latin, Lorraine and Doreen Fraser and numerous nieces and nephews.

Joan was devoted to her family and she will remain in the hearts of those left behind, daughters Patricia(Derek), Betty (Tom), Sandra (Tom); sons Jim(Norma), David (Laurel), Dan(Linda). She raised children who will forever be indebted to her for sacrifices and tireless diligence to their upbringing.

There was a mutual devotion between Nana and her beautiful grandchildren, Ian, Shawn, Dale, Eric, Craig, Ben, Danny, Andrea, Jimmy, Jake and Mimi and step-grandchildren Tommy and Nadine.

Keeping track of their activities kept her busy and provided endless conversation. She was proud that she had produced a tight knit family that liked and appreciated each other and implicitly that was her greatest achievement.

“Mom” was a nurturer. She looked after her friends and family. Joan was strong, gentle, determined, private and unobtrusive. She worked quietly, improving life for everyone else through her knitting, sewing, crocheting and gardening; preferring no accolades or recognition, she was not an attention seeker. Her wit would take you by surprise and her good nature allowed her to stoically persevere her sons’ and son-in-law’s endless attempts at humour. She was patient.

Thank you to all of the extended family and friends that shared their warmth and wishes for her recovery, she felt your love but it was not to be. The family would also like to thank her care givers both at the hospital and Deni house, your professionalism and kindness was greatly appreciated. A celebration of life will be held on May 7th, 2016, details to follow.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

Living in the Frost Creek area, Eddie enjoyed raising chickens, ducks, turkeys and other assorted animals on their acreage which also had fishing ponds. He had rental properties that kept him busy as well. He was always on the go, and very active, so it was difficult for him after he suffered a stroke in 2007, and was confined to a wheelchair.

A private funeral was held on January 18th, 2016 in Williams Lake. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC. The family would also like to thank the caregivers and staff at the Fraser Hope Lodge for the professional and compassionate care they provided.

Pigeon,

Phillip Joseph 1936-2016 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Phillip Joseph Pigeon of Williams Lake after a battle with cancer.

He was predeceased by his father Rosaire Pigeon and his mother Mary (Grinder), and his brothers Albert and Doug. Phil leaves behind his wife Marilyn, his children Barry (Melissa), Brian (Sandra) and Kathy (Pat), his grandchildren, Nicole, Alex, Denis, Austin, Joe, Tannis, Darci, Olivia; and great grand children Cory and Carson; sisters Lorraine, Marj, Yvonne (Orin), Charlotte and brother Lawrence (Maggie); and many nieces and nephews.

Phil was born in Kamloops, May 5, 1936. He spent his childhood on the family ranch at Meadow Lake, and after marrying Marilyn they moved to Williams Lake where Phil managed the Elks Club and played on the Stampeders hockey team. After many years working with the PGE/BC Rail, Marilyn and Phil moved down to Squamish and later Campbell River where they enjoyed saltwater fishing, curling, and he worked as a welder. In 1980, they decided to move back up to Meadow Lake where Phil built a log home and semi‐retired ranching once again. He loved his horses, cattle penning, and going on long rides. In 2009 they moved back to Williams Lake fully retiring and the last few years, they enjoyed camping and fishing, golfing, hunting, watching sports, playing poker, and spending time with the family. He had a wonderful sense of humor and always a twinkle in his eye right up until the end.

At this time there will be no ceremony held, however, there will be a Celebration of Phil golf tournament later this spring.

Details will be communicated to family and friends.
