Abduction report Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP continue to investigate a report of a possible abduction attempt Monday at Columneetza, the city’s middle school campus.

According to acting RCMP Sgt. Matt Shearer, police received a call to investigate the incident at 3:29 p.m.

Monday, after a female student reported that she was approached by a white male with a beard in his 30s40s who tried to grab her after asking if she

needed a ride. The man also reportedly tried to grab a second student, she said.

The student reported the suspect male was with a female in what was described as a dirty, older, fourdoor white car.

Police have not been able to find other witnesses to corroborate the incident and have not identified any suspects.

“No further substantiated complaints of this nature have come to light,” said Shearer.

“However we do ask

ARENA BUDDIES

the public to report any suspicious incidents to police as soon as possible.”

SD 27 assistant superintendent Harj Manhas confirmed the RCMP are conducting an investigation.

He said all schools in the district have supervisors at the busing lanes and on the school grounds after school.

Manhas added when reports such as this come to light, it is a good time for parents to talk to their children about what to do if they are approached by a stranger.

Morning break and enter A couple living on Clearview Crescent had a rude awakening early Tuesday morning after finding an intruder trying to break into their home.

Staff Sgt. Del Byron said police re-

ceived the report of the attempted break and enter at about 5:34 a.m.

The homeowners described seeing a dark hand reach through their open bedroom window.

They also noted the suspect was wearing a black sweater.

Anyone whohas information that could help in the investigation of this incident is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP.

An environmental group critical of the controversial New Prosperity Mine Project was exonerated of any wrongdoing in a defamation lawsuit.

In his written decision released Monday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gordon Funt criticized Taseko Mines Ltd. and said the company should not have pursued its defamation suit against the Wilderness Committee once the expert panel released its report on the New Prosperity Mine.

“The panel report shows that reasonable

individuals with particular expertise could conclude that New Prosperity would result in significant adverse environmental effects,” Justice Gordon Funt said of the four-year battle.

“To continue to seek punitive damages and special costs after the release of the panel’s report attracts the Court’s rebuke.”

Funt went on to say Taseko’s seeking of punitive damages was an economic threat to the outspoken environmental group.

Backcountry enthusiasts in the Cariboo are sharing up-to-date information from the region on Avalanche Canada’s Mountain Information Network.

Herb Butters of 150 Mile House recently entered data on the site about two avalanches he witnessed on Sunday at Big Timothy Mountain, an area popular with snowmobilers.

“They were two fairly large avalanches, but it was more uncommon where they were than seeing them,” Butters said.

Another person reported two slides on the north side of Mount Elsey on Saturday, resulting in snow burying trees and reaching the bottom of the valley.

ney Valley family to hospital Saturday, said Williams Lake Fire Chief Des Webster.

“They called us from the hospital at about 7 a.m.” Webster said.

“When we went out to their home on Vandenburgh Road it was filled with carbon monoxide.”

Fortis came in and tested the home as well and found a high concentration, he said.

Webster suspects the home’s propane heater was probably the cause of the problem.

“Typically if those units aren’t working

properly and they aren’t fully burning up propane like they are supposed to they can give off carbon monoxide,” he said.

To help clear the home, the fire department opened up all the windows, put in ventilation fans, and instructed the family not to return until the heater was checked by a technician.

“Carbon monoxide is scary because you can’t see it, taste it or smell it,” Webster added. “It can be pretty deadly because you don’t know it’s there.”

Most fatalities in fires

are caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, he added.

Carbon monoxide detectors are required now under the building code and if there are any fuel fired appliances in a home it should have a CO2 detector, Webster said.

The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.

CO symptoms are often described as “flulike.”

City tries to address snow removal complaints Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

The city’s snow dump at the end of Comer Street is only used to store snow removed by city crews due to cost-saving measures. dominium complexes, as opposed to private residents,” the letter stated.

The condominium’s concerns are part of a huge amount of criticism the city has received over its snow removal this season.

Many residents have complained since the city decided in November to reinforce its 30-year-old-sidewalk snow removal policy that requires property owners to clear the sidewalks themselves.

“The city wasn’t being assertive enough in the past,” Coun.

Ivan Bonnell said.

“It’s the same in the

summer with boulevards, property owners are required to keep them clean and mow them.”

While council does not have an appetite to increase the snow removal budget, it has asked public works to make some adjustments to ensure when snow accumulates it is dealt with.

Right now the policy says if it snows 5 cm or more crews have to do parking lots and sidewalks and if it snows 10 cm or more they have to pick up the snow.

In an effort to cut costs the city’s snow dump at the foot of Comer Street is now only being used for its own snow removal efforts.

The move comes after the city realized it was spending $25,000 to $30,000 to move third-party snow, said development services manager Gary Muraca.

“We were getting lots of snow from places such as stores, shopping centres, condos and the school district,” he said. “We’re still pushing our own snow, but nothing to the extent we were.”

Not everyone is happy with the change, including the strata council at Sun Ridge Condominiums who wrote a letter to city council saying it set its budget last March and cannot afford an increase in its snow removal budget.

“This move will affect small businesses and people who live in trailer parks, apartments or con-

get back into residential areas so eventually they made the call to stay in residential areas like Glendale and 12th Avenue that hadn’t been plowed.

“That’s why we saw the accumulation in the downtown core, it wasn’t a case of our crews not being out there.”

And with only six persons per shift for the whole town it’s not enough people to react really quickly to big events, he added.

Compared to 2014, the city did more snow hauling and plowing in 2015, but did less sanding and salting, Muraca said.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus

Literacy is power “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute, and use printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society.” - UNESCO The need to communicate in some way other than face to face goes back thousands of years. A version of the three Rs is said to have existed around 8,000 BC. The earliest known forms of written communication originated in southern Mesopotamia about 3500-3000 BCE with people using token markings to manage trade and agricultural production.

Then came cuneiform writing (numerical signs and French signs or symbols) Connection where information Diana French was recorded on clay tablets. Egyptian hieroglyphs appeared from 3300-3100 BCE (it was a power thing among the elites). Systems have been improving ever since.Literacy still means power. You can sign your cheques with Xes but knowledge makes you strong. There are two kinds of knowledge. One is based on our own experiences or learned from others. The other is knowing where to get information. Being literate means you can “read up” on different issues and don’t have to rely on the 6 o’clock TV news for information. Communication systems have improved over the centuries but never so much as in the last decades. This is the Information Age. Access to the Internet has expanded our idea of what “reading” means and has opened opportunities that never existed before. If you want instant information, check the online news. Entertainment? Go to Facebook. Instant messaging, e-mail. There seems to be some new way to get information every day. The catch is, we still need basic literacy skills. Spelling doesn’t seem to be one of them but reading and writing are the keys to managing the technological culture.

Will words written with ink on paper disappear? Maybe someday, but latest surveys show writers are still writing hardcopy books and people are reading them. One thing that will endure is our need for continuing education. That will never end.

Our Viewpoint

Reach a Reader This week is National Family Literacy Week and to help celebrate and bring attention to the importance of literacy, the Williams Lake Tribune/Advisor is presenting its Reach a Reader edition.

In the following pages there are many stories that highlight the various types of literacy needs. Whether that’s financial literacy, computer literacy or basic reading and writing, literacy or a lack of it, touches us all every day.

Last week in our community was a prime example of our leaders and educators working hard to improve educational outcomes for First Nations students through the signing of a new enhancement agreement.

The agreement, between School District 27 and many of our area’s First Nations leaders, is a critical step in improving the literacy successes of all First Nations students in the district.

During the official signing many of the First Nations leaders took the opportunity to address the crowd and discuss the challenges surrounding education and the criti-

cal need to keep First Nations languages and cultures alive and celebrated. This can only be achieved through success in literacy.

The Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) estimates that as many as 40 per cent of Cariboo Chilcotin residents struggle with literacy.

If you have strength in literacy, now is a great time to consider volunteering your skills with the CCPL. On a family level parents and caregivers are encouraged to set aside more time to read books or play board games with children or simply grab a good book and carve out some leisure time to read for yourself.

Family Literacy Week is a national initiative created in 1999 to raise awareness about the importance of reading and engaging in other literacy-related activities as a family.

CCPL works toward improving literacy every day and promotes the Reach a Reader campaign throughout the month of January, which we here at the Tribune/Weekend Advisor support fully.

he best days of winter in the Cariboo Chilcotin are now upon us.

Late January and early February is the time we begin to notice winter’s icy grip loosening and temperatures becoming milder. It means winter recreation is just beginning to hit its peak. We live in the perfect area for outdoor fun — especially in mid to late winter. It’s all right here at home — from exploring the backcountry and cross-country skiing, to ice fishing, snowshoeing and everything in between. The Williams Lake Winter Carnival takes place this weekend and is not to be missed. It’s at Boitanio Park on Saturday and Sunday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. each day.

Free activities include horseMLA drawn sleigh rides, cross-country skiMusings ing and snowshoeDonna Barnett ing, plus skating at the Cariboo Memorial Complex.

Personally, I’m looking forward to judging the chili cook-off and sampling each delicious entry. Mild winter weather throughout the Chilcotin and Cariboo makes our region a popular getaway for people from all over the province, so there’s no reason for locals like us to travel anywhere else. Around Williams Lake, cross-country skiers can head for the 30 kilometres of trails at Bull Mountain, 16 km north of town, and to the Corner Lake Ski Trail near Horsefly. And of course, many people simply head out to their own favourite trails. There is downhill skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Timothy, 24 km east of Lac la Hache, which has a family-friendly ski hill and snowboard park, accessed by a quick Tbar or chairlift ride up the mountain.

The region from Williams Lake to 100 Mile House is famous for wide-open wilderness snowmobiling, and of course there is the Gold Rush Snowmobile Trail that stretches from Horsefly south to 70 Mile.

Snowshoeing is becoming more and more popular because it’s suitable for all ages and abilities. And for many people, there’s nothing like an outdoor skate on any of our hundreds of lakes and ponds — or ice fishing on a lazy weekend. Try doing that around Vancouver or Victoria! Yes, we have it all for winter recreation — and to top it off, we’re staying fit while strengthening our region’s economy.

REACH A READER

Learning to read valuable at any age Editor: Recently a learner of mine read his first book at the age of 60.

It was the story of Mary John, Life at Lejac.

It took him three weeks to read it! The book is 43 pages long with 20 words a page.

He has always struggled with literacy, but learned to hide it, as it was necessary.

At the age of 60 my learner is at the reading level of a seven-yearold.

He told me, he related to the book very well as his life was much the same.

You see, he too was sent off to residential school when he was just a little boy. Through 1959 to 1968 when at residential school, he said, “children were being punished for small violations.”

He shared with me that he was always afraid and nervous and

found it difficult to concentrate on his studies.

He would wonder how long it would take him to learn; he felt stupid as he could neither understand nor learn anything.

He quickly realized that it would take a long time.

At the age of 16 he left school barely completing Grade 6.

He was a big strapping kid and decided that he would not go on.

Underachievers did not receive any help and he was not ready to learn.

When he left school he had hope that he would succeed and someday master his learning difficulties.

He turned to the bottle early on and a gentle man became an angry man.

Then one day he said he looked in the mirror and said: “that is it for me.”

He did not like what he saw.

From that point onward he

worked hard as a ranch hand, however, he still was not ready to learn.

It has been 45 years since he left school and here we are finally working on a goal and achieving it together.

It is heart-warming to see the smiles when it is our time to meet.

Shoulders back, big grin, and a new attitude. You see, he is no longer afraid and is now ready to learn.

Bookshelves encourage reading Editor: Children need books and reading in their lives from a very early age.

Early development of essential language skills helps a child to be successful in school.

Reading can be fun for the parent and child and can stir the child’s imagination.

Babies learn to hear and identify individual sounds in spoken words long before they practice

making these sounds.

Nursery rhymes use rhyming words and repetition that stimulate this awareness in babies.

Reading and singing help focus baby’s attention on word sounds.

The Bright Red Bookshelf program provides free children’s books for families to enjoy while waiting for an appointment, watching a hockey game or are at home.

There are 14 bright red bookshelves located in public places

in Williams Lake. Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy relies on donations of gently used children’s books to keep these bookshelves full.

Books can be donated at any of the bookshelves or by calling 250398-4173 to arrange for pick-up Make reading a family affair.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021

Wednesday, January 27, 2016 Williams Lake Tribune

VIEWPOINTS

Palmer well looked after Editor:

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 at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities.

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, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or 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: ○ ○ ○ ○

acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent 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 ○ Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent ○ Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent ○ ○ ○ ○

clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○

diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent

Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a 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.

Re: Well-known Lakecity homeless man dies in hospital This story by the Tribune has information in it that needs addressing and I’m sure Ray would want me to do that for him.

Yes Rayburn was a street guy, because he liked to drink and that was his social group from the time I moved here in the 1970s. We all saw him around town and said hello to him but he certainly wasn’t homeless. He spent the last nine years living at Abraham’s Lodge that he paid a monthly rental amount for his apartment and the last few weeks before he died he was living with his friend Ed on South

Lakeside, being well taken care of.

One day when Ed was out Ray decided to walk to town and had a fall near Walmart. He was still living with Ed at the time.

Ray will be missed by all because he was a member of our community for a long time and was a friendly guy to all.

And as Ed would say, he was “one of the gentlest men I have known.” He does have family and they will be holding a memorial for him in the spring.

I for one will miss you Ray and enjoyed our chats over the years. A great guy you were!

Sorry for actions Editor: I’m writing this letter to say how sorry I am for my actions around this time last year.

I stole a woman’s wallet and I just didn’t think at the time.

I am dearly sorry for my actions.

I’ve let my family down.

To anyone out there

that is doing all the wrong things please think of the people you are going to hurt before stealing or committing other criminal actions.

Thank you for listening to this.

- Name withheld as part of an agreement to assist with the Restorative Justice program.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques.

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

Alternatively, it is 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.

Lakecity refugee support making headway Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A refugee sponsorship group in Williams Lake got its start when two sisters who recently moved to the city decided they wanted to give back.

“We both worked and travelled internationally before we moved to our new town Williams Lake,” said Paola Konge, a lawyer with the Crown Counsel.

When the media coverage about the Syrian crisis was intensifying Paola and her sister Kirsten Konge, who works for Service BC, decided to see how they could help.

Previously Kirsten worked for the United Nations and had been in different situations where she’d seen refugees.

“I felt like we were settled somewhere now and it was something we could do to help,” Kirsten said. “We live in a place where we

can help in all different ways, First Nations, homeless people, we have enough.”

Initially they looked at going through the Group of Five Sponsorship program, which would involve five people hosting a family until the family was ready to move into a place of their own.

Within a few weeks, however, the Konges’ idea morphed into the Williams Lake Refugee Sponsorship Group with more people coming on board.

Presently the group has more than $25,000 of local support pledged for sponsoring a family.

During a presentation at city council’s regular meeting Tuesday, Immigration Settlement practitioner Sharon Taylor said St. Peter’s Anglican Church is holding the bank account for the WLRSG and can provide charitable donation receipts.

The group is operating as a constituent

Williams Lake TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF CALORIES YOU BURN, YOU NEED TO INCREASE YOUR LEAN MUSCLE MASS:

2016 Williams Lake Stampede

Dinner Dance & Auction Saturday, February 13th at the Elks Hall Dance to “Clancy Wright & The Silverado Band”

Let’s compare two males: the unfit one weighs 200 pounds and would burn 2400 calories in a day while the second male weighing 155 pounds could burn 4600 calories in a day. For every pound of lean muscle that your body has, the ‘calories burned/day’ number gets higher by 50 calories.

First time actress having a “blast” Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Jamie Bourdon is new to community theatre and despite opening night jitters last week is loving her first foray on the stage in the Studio Theatre’s comedy Making God Laugh.

“I was first introduced to all the wonderful people in the theatre group when I was invited to the cast party for Over the River and Through the Woods,” Bourdon says.

“Through their gentle coercion and charming smiles I was convinced to try out for this production.”

She says she instantly fell in love with Maddie, the aspiring actress, who she portrays in Making God Laugh.

“Rehearsals were always a blast and the five of us who make up the cast gelled very quickly,” Bourdon says. “We were a group meant to be together.”

She says the rehearsal

“But when we were together it was magic.

The rest of this cast is so amazing and with Chris’s (Armstrong) directorial guidance this production has come together smashingly.”

While she did have some pre-play jitters, Bourdon says opening night Jan. 20 went

great. “Such a blast.”

A Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Registered Shiatsu Therapist Bourdon is owner of Hands On Healing Holistic Therapies and has lived in the lakecity her whole life.

“It is a blessing getting to have all my family around me,” Bourdon says.

According to reports Making God Laugh is really tickling people’s

funny bones.

Written by Sean Grennan the comedy follows one typical American family over the course of 30 years’ worth of holidays.

“Opening night was awesome, the audience really enjoyed the show,” says Armstrong who is making his debut as a director.

“I’ve acted and worked backstage a number of times now but I’ve learned so much about theatre approaching it from this perspective,” Armstrong says.

“It’s been a crazy ride. The cast has worked incredibly hard on developing their characters and finding all the humour in the script.”

Making God Laugh finishes its two-week run at the Studio Theatre, Jan. 27 to 30.

Tickets are available at the The Open Book, Aboutface Photography, and Kit and Kaboodle.

Family Fest wraps up Family Literacy Week Kirsten Stark Special to Tribune/Advisor The 11th Annual Family Fest takes place this Sunday, Jan. 31 in the Gibraltar Room from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This free community event is enjoyed by hundreds of visitors each year.

We have puppet shows, story-telling, crafts, reading a story with Sir Read A Lot and much more.

There is something

for children of all ages to enjoy.

Family Fest encourages literacy as a family activity and helps to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and early childhood development.

It helps parents understand their role through demonstrations and play-based learning.

It also helps parents recognize and become actively involved in early literacy-related

events in their child’s development.

Every child receives at least one new book and each family receives a reusable Family Fest bag containing literacy related information and activities, so the fun can continue at home.

So come on down to the Gibraltar Room at the Cariboo Memorial Complex and help us celebrate families, literacy and lifelong learning.

You can also visit

the second annual Williams Lake Winter Carnival that will be taking place in Boitanio Park.

Family Fest is made possible through the long-term support provided by the Early Childhood Development Network and sponsorship from Success by 6, Children First, Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy and Daybreak Rotary.

More information on all our programs is

available on our website www.caribooliteracy.com and you can find us on Facebook for all the latest literacy news and information.

Downtown PAL tutoring centre well received Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer George Fletcher had difficulty learning to read as a child but never suspected that he had a learning disability.

He attended residential school where his disability was never recognized.

Frustrated he quit school in Grade 8 and went to work as a labourer with B.C. Rail.

Over the years he worked on sawmill green-chains and for the past 14 years has worked as a ranch hand on the Ashcroft and Gang ranches.

Throughout the years he has always wanted to learn to read and write better, but it wasn’t until being injured in a car accident last year that he had the time to try learning to read again.

His cousin told him about the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy program where he is now working with volunteer tutor Sarah Balitsky on his reading and writing skills.

“My cousin encouraged me to come and try it out,” George says. “I can read words but I can’t write very well.”

George says he learns by paying close attention to what people are telling him, and by watching what they do and physically repeating tasks until he gets them right.

He says he learned to drive the tractor during haying time, but it was difficult for him to figure out the hydraulics to hook the rake to the tractor, so someone else would do that job for him.

“I really have to pay attention to what someone wants me to do,” George says.

These days George is spending an hour a week working on his reading and writing skills with

Sarah also helps out as a tutor with PAL’s financial literacy and computer training programs as well.

She says she excelled in English and math at school and just has a natural knack for computers.

“I like to help people,” Sarah says. “I find it is very rewarding for both of us.”

Sarah also puts the skills she learned as a PAL volunteer to work tutoring high school students toward graduation.

“Sometimes it is just about helping them learn how to edit their assignments and use punctuation and grammar properly,

George Fletcher practices his writing skills.

Sarah says.

PAL co-ordinator Janette Moller says she is very pleased with the partnership Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy and the Cariboo Friendship Society developed a little over a year ago to establish the PAL learning centre at Hoy House

downtown where it is more accessible for many adult learners to access than the centre located at the Thompson Rivers University campus.

Over the course of a year, she says PAL volunteers assist about 120 adult learners with one-onone tutoring at the Hoy House centre, at Seniors’ Village, at the Williams Lake Library (computer tutoring) and at the TRU campus in Williams Lake.

The PAL centre at Hoy House is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. until noon.

standing a lease.

There are lots of reasons why many adults have reading challenges.

English is a second language.

They have a learning disability.

They were unable to finish school.

Traumatic childhood experiences such as domestic violence or residential schools have had an impact on a child’s ability to learn; brain injuries; and the list goes on.

Trying to decipher text is a daily struggle for many adults, often with serious health and safety consequences.

January is Reach a Reader

Month in the Cariboo.

It is a great time to look at your workplace and see how you can communicate more clearly with your customers, clients, and staff.

Here are some tips.

• Write information in a positive tone (E.g. “Stop on red”, not, “Don’t cross on red”) • Use common words. For example use instead of utilize, or show instead of demonstrate.

• Organize your text so there is white space.

• Use pictures that help show meaning.

• Use short sentences.

• Go through a form or appli-

cation with people.

Many adults struggle to fill in forms on their own.

Bright Red Bookshelf a popular program Lil Mack Special to Tribune/Advisor The Bright Red Bookshelf program recirculates gently used children’s books back into the community where they are made available free to families.

What a great idea!

That’s what the committee of Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy has been hearing over the past seven years since the program was officially launched in Nov. 2009.

And children must like the idea, too, because thousands of books have been distributed.

“We started with four bookshelves and now have 14 in operation,” says Claire Schreiner, the program’s volunteer co-ordinator.

They are around the city and can be found in places where children and adults are often waiting.

These places include the Cariboo Memorial Complex arena and pool areas; Atwood Clinic; Boitanio Mall; FYidoctors eye care

Ministry of Children and Family Development; Mountview Elementary school; Pregnancy Outreach, and Hub International Barton Insurance.

“There are probably many more possible

sites but as it is a volunteer run program we can’t fulfill all requests without volunteers to build the bookshelves and take care of them,” says Schreiner.

Our major partner in this project is the

Williams Lake Association for Community Living.

They look after the bookshelves and are the distribution and storage centre for the project.

They collect the donations of books from the two red donation bins that are under each of the bookshelves, then clean and prepare the books for return to the bookshelves.

CCPL members are passionate about getting books into the hands of all families in our community.

We encourage donations of gently used children’s books.

They can be dropped off at one of the bookshelves (there are bins underneath the shelf for donations).

If your business or organization would like to get involved, please give us a call.

Let’s get books into the hands of families so that no child is ever without a book!

PAL computer tutoring available at Williams Lake Library Young’s Performance Horses at Big Lake, raises, trains, and sells cow-bred quarter horses for cutting horse competitions, ranch work, and people who are just looking for a good horse to ride.

He is currently raising and training 18 horses, who will find homes like others he has raised in various parts of Canada, the U.S. and even Europe.

For a few years now, Young has used his desktop computer for the business side of his work.

At the touch of his fingers he can find in-

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Computer programs are evolving at such a rapid rate these days that it is hard for even those with experience to keep up with the changes.

One way that people can develop their computer skills is completely free and available at the Cariboo Regional District, Williams Lake Library.

Computers are valuable communication tools even for businesses where the connection might not be that obvious.

John Young, of

formation on the latest regulations regarding selling and transporting his horses nationally and internationally, learn where in the world people may be looking for the horses he raises, keep up on pricing trends, communicate with customers, and complete business forms.

“It’s a good way to keep your finger on the pulse of what buyers are looking for,” Young says. “It’s very handy especially in smaller towns such as Williams Lake.”

About a year ago Young purchased a new

laptop computer with Windows 10, but needed a little help learning the new program.

He found that help available at the Williams Lake Library, where computer tutoring is offered completely free by the Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy volunteers.

In his former career, Young says he worked with airlines to arrange the shipment of horses to international destinations such as Germany, a job that involved a lot of careful planning, red tape and paper work.

“Today I can arrange

“You can easily look up the regulations on line, so there are no surprises when you arrange transportation.

You can put a horse on an airplane and fly it to Europe if you want too.”

He is thrilled with the help he has been receiving from the PAL volunteers to help him put his new laptop to work.

Tutor enjoys chatting Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Helping adults to improve their reading skills has become a richly rewarding experience for Val Biffert.

Seven years ago, Val took her first tutor training course with Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy after seeing an advertisement in The Tribune.

Since then she has tutored three new Canadian women whose first language was not English.

“Tutoring opens new doors for me and in return I am opening new doors for my students,” Val says. “I love learning about new cultures and feel that I have an insider’s view of my learner’s birth country.

Watching my learner gain confidence is very rewarding. So, it is a win-win situation.”

Val grew up in Bella Coola and raised two sons in Williams Lake with her husband Wayne. Now retired Val and Wayne both had long careers with BC Tel and Telus.

Some of Val’s work involved training other staff members. And for about a dozen years she also taught the Weight Watchers program.

“I came to realize that I have really been teaching something to people all of my life and didn’t clue in until I took the PAL training that I really liked doing that,” Val says.

“The beauty of CCPL is that the training is free and they give you the tools you will need to teach. There is also a well stocked resource library.”

She says the initial training was presented in six sessions, but she continues to take workshops whenever

Gaeil Farrar photo

Val Biffert loves to meet new people and talk with them which fits in nicely with tutoring her students on developing their English conversational and reading skills. she has the time, the latest one being on financial literacy.

She volunteers as a tutor for an hour or two a week.

“One of the things that is so important about this job is watching people, because it is not about me, it is about my learner and what they want to do,” Val says.

“For me that is sometimes difficult because I like to talk, but that is not always a good thing. Everybody who knows me, knows I like to talk.”

Over the years, Val has helped her students to develop their English conversation and word skills for various reasons — improving communication skills for running their business, conversational skills for taking on a

new job, or helping her learner learn words for a special interest such as cooking or gardening.

Val may also help her students to connect with other resources in the community they may not realize are available to them or help them to study for their Canadian citizenship test.

“It’s not an easy test,” Val says. “I’ve studied it and believe most Canadians would have trouble passing it.”

In doing the research to help her students build their literacy skills, Val says she learns a lot in return.

“It strikes me as amazing what I don’t know.”

For instance Val says she and one of her students shared

some laughs over their respective fears when it comes to city and country life. Living in the Cariboo, Val is perfectly comfortable in the woods, but has a fear of big city highrises, while her student, who was raised in a big city is perfectly comfortable in a high-rise, but has a fear of Canada’s wild spaces.

“The three women I have tutored and their families are making significant contributions to our community,” Val says.

Val is also an avid reader who belongs to a book club, and volunteers for an hour or so a week cleaning books and DVDs at the Williams Lake Library.

She and Wayne also have a pond on their property known as Biff’s Pond, where frail, elderly seniors and people with disabilities can come and fish.

“I grow too,” Val says of volunteering with PAL. “I’m trying to be old and smart.”

Community members were asked, “What does literacy mean to you?”

Most gave great answers that referred to reading such as “a way to escape,” “armchair travel” and “an adventure with new friends.”

However, the term literacy is often used to denote ability in many areas, such as, financial, digital, technology, political, cultural and physical.

One Internet website refers to 26 different kinds of literacy.

Cariboo Chilcotin Partners for Literacy (CCPL) defines literacy as “the complex set of skills necessary for daily life, employment, citizenship and personal enjoyment of our modern and diverse society influenced by lifelong learning, changing needs, skills use or retention, and health.”

With the goal of promoting lifelong learning, CCPL offers free programs to assist learners of all ages.

Books for Babies sends books home with new mothers when they leave the hospital. For emergent readers the Bright Red Bookshelves have been placed around Williams Lake and 100 Mile House.

Lakecity duo soaring with Sicamous Eagles Greg Sabatino Staff Writer It’s been a valuable learning experience for two Williams Lake hockey players who’ve spent this season as players for the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Sicamous Eagles.

Forward Cameron Flinton and defenceman Landon Fuller both made the leap

from midget hockey to junior B hockey to begin the season. But with 10 games left in the KIJHL regular season and little hope of making the playoffs, the focus now is to go out on a high note.

“Being the way it was this year, we’re just trying to have 10 games that are good games and do something positive every game,” said Flinton, a chippy, defensive-

ly-minded forward who has two goals and three assists in 42 games for the Eagles this season.

“We’ll take these last 10 games and use them for some confidence carrying on into next year.”

Fuller, a draft pick of the Western Hockey Legaue’s Tri-City Americans, previously spent his midget hockey playing career as a member of the Williams Lake Timberwolves.

Flin-

ton, meanwhile, spent four seasons in Wilcox, Sask., as a player for the Notre Dame Hounds.

Fuller, in 34 games with the Eagles, has two goals and three assists.

He said being drafted by the Americans, and even being called up to the WHL for a few games this season, is a huge honour.

“It was almost like it didn’t happen,” said the six-foot-five, 210-pound

defenceman when he found out he’d been drafted. “It was a dream come true, especially being that team and it’s history and people who went to play there, like Carey Price.”

Fuller said despite the rough season the Eagles are having, he continues to work on his game to achieve his goals. Flinton, meanwhile, said it’s fun to be on a team with another friend from

Williams Lake.

“It’s great to keep playing hockey as long as I can,” Flinton said.

“It’s nice to have Landon around, him knowing where I’m from and that’s cool.”

Fuller added he hopes to make the step to the WHL next year.

“I just want to keep trying to get better,” he said. “Maybe make TriCity next year or get called up toward the end

of this year.”

The Eagles, who have eight wins, 27 losses and two ties this season, have two away games this weekend.

The first goes Friday, Jan. 29 versus the Princeton Posse, before the team travels to 100 Mile House to take on the Wrangler on Saturday, Jan. 20. Puck drop for that game goes at 7 p.m. at the South Cariboo Rec Centre.

Fisher fitting in with new team Makes move from Williams Lake to Timmins, Ont. Greg Sabatino Staff Writer After travelling almost 4,000 kilometres across the country to play hockey, Williams Lake’s Hallie Fisher is settling in nicely with her new teammates in Timmins, Ont. The 16-year-old forward for the Timmins Kiwanis Midget ‘A’ Falcons female hockey team is approaching her future in a different way than most.

“To my former teammates [with the Williams Lake Midget Female Timberwolves] I wish them all the best and hope they’re successful this season but my focus and my goals now are about what’s available in the future and that’s all been because of the Falcons,” Fisher said.

The opportunity to play for the team, who plays its regular season in a bantam ‘AA’ boys league but competes against other midget female ‘A’ teams across the province at tournaments, came after her former head coach with the Timberwolves, Pete Montana, transferred to Timmins for work. He also took an assistant coaching position with the Falcons.

Hallie Fisher “I think Hallie’s approach is a little bit different than most of the players at her level of commitment to the game as a whole,” Montana said. “She worked extremely hard last year to improve not just her skills but her mental side of the game.”

The Falcons finished as the bronze medalists at last year’s Ontario midget female ‘A’ provincials.

This year, the goal is to improve even more upon that finish.

Twenty-four teams will compete at the Ontario provincials. In B.C.,

just eight girls teams will vie for a provincial title — a difference Montana said is vast.

Asked why she made the move, Fisher said she hopes to play in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) — a women’s junior hockey league in Ontario — or attain a university scholarship to play either NCAA hockey in the U.S. or collegiate hockey in Canada.

“I felt like there was a better opportunity here if I wasn’t going to be playing major midget hockey in B.C.,” Fisher said. “The experience has been really good. The team and the manager and coaches have really accepted me and have been really supportive.”

She noted the level of competition, especially competing against bantam-aged boys, has been a challenge.

“I’m finding it higher competitively here because we play boys, so they’re a little bit rougher with us,” she said.

“When we play a female team it’s not so good for them,” Montana added. “It’s fair to say when we go to tournaments we tend to dominate a little bit.”

The Falcons will get a major test this weekend when they travel to a tournament in Ottawa where they’ll have a chance to compete against last year’s national champions, Sudbury.

Montana described Fisher’s playstyle as a physical one.

“She doesn’t back down from anybody,” Montana said.

Outside of hockey, Fisher said she’s fitting in nicely with her peers on and off the ice. Fisher is billeting with a teammate’s grandmother while her family still lives in Williams Lake. “[The highlight] has been the relationships I’ve formed with my teammates and people who don’t even play hockey at school,” she said. “They’re friendships I’m going to carry with me my whole life.”

As for what the future holds for Fisher, Montana said the sky is the limit.

“This was a big jump this year,” he said. “We’ve talked about next season, a lot. It’s not about this season, it’s about next season and now that we’re at this point and we’ve seen the kind of progress she’s made, it’s an open door.”

Mt. Timothy Ski Area’s annual Fundraising Auction is coming up Feb. 6 in 100 Mile House.

Three Cariboo athletes will join more than 1,700 participants next month at the Penticton 2016 BC Winter Games.

The Games, which showcase B.C.’s best emerging high performance talents in a celebration of sport and community, run Feb. 25-28.

Williams Lake’s Warren Scrooby (alpine skiing), Cole Turner (cross country skiing), and 150 Mile House’s Georgia DiMarco (judo) will represent the Cariboo-North East Zone — one of eight zones throughout the province — at the event.

The 1,225 competing athletes are from every corner of the province and have trained to earn a place to repre-

sent their zone at the Games.

Competing in 17 different sports, the athletes are an average of 14 years old and, for most, this will be their first experience at a multi-sports Games.

Special Olympians will compete in basketball and figure skating and athletes with a disability will compete in wheelchair basketball and para cross country skiing.

The athletes will be supported by 333 coaches and 180 officials who have earned their certification in order to provide the best knowledge and expertise to the athletes and the competition.

Volunteers in Penticton have been preparing for the past 18

months to host the Games — the fourth time the city has done so. There will be more than 1,800 volunteers working to ensure participants have exceptional competition and a first-rate experience with opening and closing ceremonies, special events and wonderful hospitality.

“Penticton is where the BC Games began in 1978 and we are so pleased to be back and benefiting from the history of sport and event hosting in this community,” said Kelly Mann, president and CEO of the BC Games Society.

“The athletes, coaches and officials coming to these BC Winter Games are taking their first step towards future national and international level

competitions and the expertise of the volunteers will make a mark on their journey.”

The BC Winter Games has been the starting point for many athletes who have gone on to higher levels of sport.

More than 50 per cent of Team BC athletes at the 2015 Canada Winter Games were BC Games alumni.

Eighteen alumni were part of Team Canada at the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Games including Kelowna’s Kelsey Serwa (ski cross), Summerland’s Justin Kripps (bobsleigh) and Josh Dueck of Vernon (para alpine).

‘Hawks draw ire of ‘Roos in CIHL playoffs Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Lac La Hache Tomahawks goaltender and president Willie Sellars has made a promise.

“We will win game two,” Sellars said following a heartbreaking 6-5 home ice overtime loss to the Quesnel Kangaroos in their first game of the bestof-three, first round Central Interior Hockey League series.

“There’s no expectation for us. We got their attention with that overtime loss on Saturday. We don’t have any pressure on us. If anything, they have pressure.”

The Tomahawks season was a tumultuous one. The team finished the CIHL regular season with zero wins and 16 losses.

“It’s been a long season because we haven’t been icing our guys every weekend,” Sellars said. “But Saturday • • • • • •

was a great game. We had a full team, finally, which is pretty encouraging.”

Tomahawks’ forward Robin Gilbert, setup from Gilbert Robbins and Richard Macdonald, put a shot top shelf with four seconds left in Saturday’s game to tie the contest at 5-5 and send it to overtime.

timer one minute into overtime to send the series back to Quesnel with the Kangaroos up 1-0 for game two and, if necessary, game three of the series.

“We get out there, we’ve got fresh ice, then that,” Sellars said.

“It was deflating.

“But we’re going up there to win game two and then have some fun with game three

and see what happens.

The boys will have some fun.”

Also scoring for the Tomahawks in the game was Xavier Stump, Donovan Nicholas with two, and Dervy Johny.

Quesnel’s Coltin De Frais, Nick Tomassetti, Justin Fulton, Ryan Hanes and Mike Kalusny found the twine for the Kangaroos.

Sellars, meanwhile, made 46 saves in the contest.

The Williams Lake Stampeders are waiting in the wings to face the winner of the firstround East Division series in a best-of-five series after they finished first in the division and received a first-round bye.

Game one of that series will go on Saturday, Feb. 6, before the series comes back to Williams Lake’s Cari-

Female Timberwolves secure home-ice advantage for zones The Williams Lake Female Midget Timberwolves were in Penticton and Kelowna for their final three Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association (OMAHA) league games.

The first game saw Williams Lake defeat Penticton, 2-0, with Penticton unable to solve T-wolves goaltender Raylea Garland.

Anya Levermann scored five-and-a-half minutes into the first period, with her sister, Katya and Emma Roorda picking up the assists on the first goal.

The second goal saw captain Ruthie Jackson score off a feed from assistant captain, Grace Outhouse, just three minutes into the second period.

In game two Williasm Lake fell to Penticton, 4-2.

Again, the Levermann sisters put up points, with Anya scoring six minutes into the second from

Not to be outdone, Katya scored two minutes into the third frame with Jackson receiving the assist.

The third game of the weekend was against Kelowna at the old Memorial barn.

Not pleased with their final game against Penticton, the girls decided to go out in style and finish strong, pounding Kelowna, 7-1.

The first period saw

two goals from Brooke Call, with assists going to Grace and Jackson, consecutively.

Jackson scored a third in the first period with an assist coming from Call.

The second period opened with Grace burying a pass from sister Faith Outhouse and Anya.

Not content without getting her name on the score sheet, Katya tallied the fifth goal from Call.

Grace potted the sixth halfway through

the third from Adriane Kennedy.

Caitlyn Ray put up the seventh and final goal from a pass from Faith.

The Timberwolves currently sit second in the OMAHA league with 10 wins, four losses and one tie.

Meanwhile, the team went undefeated in the Cariboo Amateur Hockey League, winning all eight games to ensure home ice for zones, scheduled for Valentines weekend in Williams Lake.

Williams Lake gearing up for CAHA playoffs The Williams Lake Midget Boys Timberwolves managed to hold off Quesnel and walk away with a 4-3 victory during the weekend despite a very short bench due to injuries and illness.

Williams Lake started the game with just 12 skaters, and the lack of continuity showed early as

the T-wolves started slowly.

Quesnel jumped out to an early 1-0 lead before Williams Lake found their legs and rattled off three straight goals before the end of the second.

Quesnel tied the game early in the third period but the Timberwolves scored on a powerplay mid-

way through the last period and cruised the rest of the way to win 4-3.

William Paynton, Cody Swan, Corey Loring and Lane Wycotte scored for the Wolves with Hayden Lyons in net for the win.

Williams Lake is off to Prince George this weekend for its final two league

games of the year.

The Timberwolves need to sweep both games to finish first in their league and gain home-ice advantage in the battle to see who goes to the provincial championships.

Full stats for each game, plus season totals for the year, are available at www. wlmha.ca.

1936-2016

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Philip 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, played on the Stampeders hockey team, and joined the Williams Lake Fire Department.

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 and dogs, cattle penning, hunting with his family, and going on long horseback 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. Phil enjoyed travelling and made friends everywhere he went, even if they didn’t speak the same language. He had a wonderful sense of humour and always a twinkle in his eye right up until the end.

We would like to take this time to also express our sincere thanks for all the care and attention the doctors, and nursing staff on the 2nd Ward at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital gave to Phil.

There will be no ceremony held right away, however, there will be a Celebration of Phil golf tournament later this spring. Details will be communicated to family and friends.

Buchanan, Margaret Rita (Peggy) nee May July 22, 1930 - January 20, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother.

The family of Arnos Herbert King is saddened to announce his passing on Jan.20, 2016 at the age of 91 in Williams Lake, B.C. Arnos was a long time resident of Williams Lake.

Five long, lonely years since you’ve been gone.

Seems like only yesterday you walked by my side.

We shared so much, now in silence I recall memories of events gone by, only you and I shared.

The road is hard without you by my side.

There will be a family gathering to celebrate his life at a later date. In memory of Arnos, donations can be made to a charity of choice.

Obituaries

Peggy was born and raised in Vancouver and married Harry Buchanan there in 1949. In 1957 they moved to Williams Lake with their 4 children where they greatly contributed to building the community where they would live their lives. Throughout the years Peggy volunteered on many, many committees and boards - the Williams Lake Public Library, the United Church, Boy Scouts, Figure Skating Club and Minor Hockey, to name just a few. She started ‘Crackpots’ ceramics with her dear friend Elsie Sharun, and for many years held classes in her basement, where it was more about friendships than about clay. In recent years Peggy enjoyed volunteering at the Senior’s Activity Centre. She spent much of her time taking care of family and friends - her joy in life was caring for others.

Peggy was predeceased by her husband Harry in 2003, her father Ernest May and mother Elsie May. She is survived by her sons Doug (Linda) and Donald, and daughters Gail (Don) Stanchfield and Jill Buchanan, her 5 grandchildren Jody Buchanan (Bill), Regan Stanchfield, Ben Stanchfield, Eric (Megan) Simmons and Wade (Kelly) Simmons, her 9 great grandchildren Brendan, Allanah, Tessa, Emma, Joe, Taylor, Mason, Jackson and Nathan, and her brother, Jim (Alden) May. The world is a better place because of Mom and she will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC SPCA. A celebration of her life will take place at a later date.

DOUGLAS HENDERSON SMITH 29 January 1931 – 13 January 2016

Doug began life in San Pedro California and finished in his home at Buffalo Creek B.C. Between those two events was a lifetime of learning, loving, advocating, building, educating, being an all-round nice guy and many believe he was a Renaissance man.

Doug graduated from Bellingham High School and entered the U.S. Navy, serving as a quartermaster for four years during the Korean Conflict. He studied Art and Science at Western Washington University and earned a B.A. and M.A. from Western. He later became a National Science Foundation Fellow at the University of Washington Marine Biological Station in Friday Harbour while doing post graduate work.

Doug taught in the Seattle schools six years before deciding to emigrate to Canada in 1968 with his wife and three children. In his teaching career he taught art, math, design and drafting, chemistry, and (his most passionate subject) Biology. He taught Biology until his retirement in1991. After his retirement he became involved with preserving rural schools as instruments for foundational learning. He never stopped learning and sought to impart his knowledge whenever he could.

During his teaching career he took students on innumerable field and backpacking trips which extended from the Cascades and Rockies to the shores of the Pacific in California, Washington, and B.C. Doug was a skier, mountain climber, sailor, artist, world traveler, voracious reader, writer and thinker. He was active with the Boy Scouts (Order of the Arrow), brought X-country skiing to 100 Mile, helped develop the 100 Mile ski hill, served on many committees and organizations to promote social, recreational, and economic development in the Cariboo. He was an active member of the NDP federally and provincially. He has recently served on the executive of the Forest Grove Community Recreation Centre, Royal Canadian Legion Br. 261, and the Forest Grove 94 Lions.

Doug resided in 100 Mile House for two years until he could build a home in Buffalo Creek where he spent the remainder of his life in the company of Karen who shared his dreams, passions, and laments. He was a man of honour and leaves behind his wife Karen; sons Dean and Dennis; daughter Deanna (Tish); Grandsons Emery Hunt, Elliott Hunt, Levi Smith, Aaron Smith; Granddaughters Robin Hunt, Alexandra Tanco-Smith, Francesca Tanco-Smith, Candace McCoy; Daughter-in-laws Sheryl Tanco and Lauri McCoy. Doug wished to have a party and so it will be…
