February’s robbery at gunpoint of a teenage boy in Boitanio Park was the last straw for John-Paul Albinati.

“It’s sad when something happens like what happened in the park that day,” Albinati said. “It was a 14-year-old boy’s birthday and three adults robbed him of a bike. The bike was his birthday present.”

The Williams Lake man said he talked with the teenage victim’s family and decided it’s time for the

Agencies such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Boys and Girls Club, the RCMP, Community Policing and Bikers Against Child Abuse will be at the park that day and other agencies or clubs wanting to attend can set up a table and bring some pamphlets along as well, he said.

“To quote Red Green, we are all in this together. If people donated even one hour of their time a week for even park patrol we would have thousands of hours to make our city a safer place,” he

Toward that aim, Albinati, along with his friend Jess Bennett and Mark Savard of Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, are organizing a day in the park for people to network on Sunday, April 3 from 1 to 4 p.m.

“It’s all about showcasing what’s out there because no child should be afraid to use the facilities provided for them,” Albinati said. “If we can get the community together we can show that there’s no reason for 11,000 peo-

Two escape rollover on Bond Lake Road Man

robbed at knifepoint

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A 19-year-old driver and his male passenger escaped serious injury after the Volkswagen Jetta they were travelling in rolled Friday afternoon.

The incident took place at about 2:30 p.m. on Bond Lake Road.

The vehicle was northbound heading toward Dog Creek Road when the accident occurred.

As it rounded one of the last corners on the dirt road, the car went off on the right side, rolled and landed on its roof in amongst some trees down the bank.

Members of the Williams Lake RCMP, Williams Lake Fire Department and BC Ambulance attended the scene after a passerby stopped to see if the males needed help and called 9-1-1.

Other than a bit of a knock to his left knee, the driver said he was feeling OK.

RCMP seek information on animal cruelty cases Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Alexis Creek RCMP are seeking the public’s assistance with two cases of animal cruelty on the Tletinqox (Anaham) First Nation west of Williams Lake.

In December of 2015, police located a deceased dog, with its hind legs bound together with twine and lying on a road in the reserve.

The investigation determined the animal

had been dragged to death behind a moving vehicle.

A second dog was found dead on the reserve in a similar fashion on March 8, 2016.

Tletinqox Chief Joe Alphonse said Thursday he and council met about the matter and shared the information internally with community members at a meeting.

“We were alarmed and shocked,” Alphonse said. “We want to know one way or another if it’s a situa-

We want to know one way or another if it’s a situation where someone’s doing that to dogs because it’s not acceptable.”

- Tletinqox Chief Joe Alphonse tion where someone’s doing that to dogs because it’s not acceptable.”

If there is someone in the community hurting animals they need to be dealt with

before it escalates, Alphonse said.

“It also could have been a case of somebody finding a dead animal and dragging it to the dump, but that’s not the way to handle that either.”

Alexis Creek RCMP Corp. Murray McNeil said Monday the police have not received any tips since putting out a press release asking for the public’s assistance on the cases.

“We are at a standstill,” McNeil said.

“We don’t know who

owned the dogs and are hoping by putting the information out there it might generate some tips.”

McNeil said both dogs were average sized.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Alexis Creek RCMP at 250394-4211 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Crime Stoppers also subscribe to web tips at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

A man was robbed of his iPhone at knifepoint in Boitanio Park Thursday, March 17, just after 4 p.m.

The victim was walking down into the upper part of the park from Boston Pizza when he was approached by two males, said Williams Lake RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron.

One of the suspects produced a knife and asked the victim if he had any spare change.

When he said no they took his wallet, rifled through it and then threw it on the ground.

“Then they went through his pockets, found his iPhone 5 and ran off,” Byron said, noting the victim was not harmed during the robbery.

Byron described the first suspect as First Nations, about five feet and 10 inches tall, with a medium build.

He was wearing a black zip up hoodie, and a red hat with a Chicago Bulls logo on it.

He was the one to produce the buck hunting knife with a six-inch folding blade, Byron said. The second suspect, also First Nations, is described as five foot 10 inches to six feet tall, with a slimmer build.

He was wearing a black hoodie, no hat and black sunglasses.

The phone is described as a white iPhone 5 with a camouflage life-proof case.

“We had the police dog out and are still investigating the file,” Byron said.

MAILBOX ADVOCATE Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

South Lakeside resident Peter Epp points to one of two areas he thinks would be perfect for his neighbourhood’s community mailboxes.

This one is next to one of the bus stops, the other is toward town where there is a pullout across the road from the trailer park, again on the lake side of the road. His community mailbox is presently located on a side street that is a hill, which is problematic in the winter when roads are icy and there is nowhere for people to pull in and park when picking up their mail.

Epp continues to contact Canada Post to advocate for more suitable locations for the boxes and has even taken his plight to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Fire at Parallel Wood Products Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Members of the Williams Lake Fire Department responded to a fire at Parallel Wood Products Ltd. on Highway 20 early Friday, March 18.

“The fire had start-

“Firefighters contained the fire to the blower system and

prevented it from spreading into the main building.”

A spokesperson for Parallel said the fire occurred outside on the north side of the building and was discovered by staff at about 5:45 a.m.

“We are assessing

the cause and damage at this time,” the company said, noting it was closed Friday.

Webster said two fire trucks and 25 fire-

his community currently faces a number of issues.

Some, like crime and racism, have been around forever. Possible job losses and the burning of railway ties are relatively new.

Even after hearing plenty from both sides of the debate I still don’t know if the tie burning and all that goes with it (storage, handling of ties, ash, whatever) is OK or will result in awful air pollution. I have a personal interest because myself and two other members of my family have respiratory problems.

We don’t need any more bad air.

But if Atlantic Power can handle the ties safely? That’s the question on many minds.

The BC Ministry of the Environment has the final say.

The ministry hasn’t, to my French knowledge, made Connection any attempt to get Diana French public opinion, nor to answer any questions from the community. Some wonder if the ministry has the staff and resources to do an in-depth study. The last independent air quality studies that I know of were done here in 2001 and 2006. Are they outdated?

MOE has monitoring stations around town that are regularly checked, but do they provide adequate information?

Is it too late for MOE to hold a public meeting to answer questions and get community input? Governments exist to serve the public, so this part of the process shouldn’t have been left to Atlantic Power or citizen’s groups. And while they’re at it, the province should direct the Ministry of Forests to hold at least one public meeting to explain why the wood waste left in the bush can’t be used for the economic, environmental and social benefit of this community.

Whatever the impediments, the ministry can fix them. If it’s a matter of money, the province can fix that too. It is my understanding that both city council and the CRD supported AP’s bid to burn the ties.

Nobody seems to know how much homework they did, if any, but maybe they could use their clout with the province to ensure this community has the best of both worlds by providing the power plant with this alternate fuel source.

Boitanio Park or bust Kudos to Travis Anthony, John-Paul Albinati and their friends.

The two Williams Lake men have stepped up to the plate to encourage the rest of us to help improve safety in Williams Lake.

Both men are organizing events in Boitanio Park to promote making it a safe place for our youth.

Anthony’s peace rally, skateboard and bike jam takes place this Saturday, March 26, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. in the park.

Albinati’s community information, barbecue, and live entertainment event takes place Sunday, April 3, from 1 to 4 p.m. in the park.

Albinati’s invited community policing and other organizations to be there in hopes people will want to sign up and become volunteers.

Both guys grew up in Williams Lake and said the robbery at gunpoint of a teenager’s birthday bike last month was unacceptable.

Angie Mindus Editor

Gaeil Farrar Community Editor

So many times people throw up their hands asking when somebody is going to do something, but as Albinati said it so well, we are all that somebody.

Boitanio Park is in the heart of our city and it deserves our care and attention.

The Rotary Club of Williams Lake has been working on better lighting for the park and the dog park has provided an incentive for other people to use the park.

On Thursday evenings in the summer we have the concerts in Boitanio Park and on Fridays the Farmer’s Market.

This year’s second annual Winter Carnival was another success and the annual school district cross country races, kidney walks and cancer walks are always well attended.

Perhaps we should start bag lunch Wednesdays or picnic Saturdays. Anything to let it be known the park belongs to all of us.

he opening of the BC Parks reservation system last week has started the unofficial countdown to summer in the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Residents are looking forward to long, warm summer days spent exploring our beautiful province. However, the arrival of summer also means the arrival of wildfire season.

Wildfires pose a significant threat to communities, natural resources and infrastructure.

Firefighting efforts in our province cost taxpayers millions of dollars per year – the 2015 fire season was one of the busiest and most expensive in recent years, with more than $278 million spent on wildfire management.

You might be shocked to learn that between 30 and 40 per cent of wildfires in our province are human-caused, including last week’s 1.5-hectare wildfire near Buffalo Creek east of 100 Mile House.

Careless actions MLA such as throwing cigarette butts out Musings the car window or Donna Barnett leaving a campfire unattended can cause large-scale destruction. This is simply unacceptable.

Our government promised we would enact tougher penalties to discourage irresponsible behaviour that contributes to increased wildfire risks. We are delivering on that promise by enacting some of the highest wildfire-related violation ticket fines in the country.

Legislative changes will result in increased fines for 19 different violations under the Wildfire Act, as well as seven violations under Wildfire Regulation. The fine for failing to comply with a fire restriction under the Wildfire Act has more than tripled — from $345 to $1,150.

We have increased penalties for those who get in the way of firefighting efforts to ensure that our hardworking firefighters are able to respond to wildfires effectively. The new regulations make it clear that interference does not have to be intentional to be against the law.

In addition, failing to comply with a stopwork order could result in a penalty of up to $100,000 and/or jail time of up to one year.

It’s important to know that you can report a wildfire, abandoned campfire or open-burning violation by calling 1-800-663-5555 toll-free, or dial *5555 on a cellphone. Wildfire prevention is everyone’s responsibility. This spring and summer, I strongly urge everyone to do their part in eliminating potential wildfire threats.

Together, let’s keep our forests and communities safe.

Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

MORE VIEWPOINTS Tourney an enjoyable time Question of the week Editor: This past week Bella Coola hosted the Junior All Native Provincial Basketball Tournament in Williams Lake.

Thirty eight teams arrived in Williams Lake; 21 girls’ teams and 17 boys’ teams.

The athletes ranged in age from 13-17 years old.

Teams came from all parts of B.C. from Prince Rupert to Vancouver Island.

Seventy-two basketball games were played in three gyms during a five-day period at Thompson Rivers University and at Lake City Secondary School’s Williams Lake and Columneetza campuses.

This was the largest basketball tournament ever hosted in Williams Lake.

More than 450 athletes participated in this tournament.

Every game had at least 100 fans and a lot of games had as many as 500 people cheering

loudly for their team.

The atmosphere in these gyms was awesome!

A lot of teams in this tournament came from small reserves or communities where basketball is the main activity and a good place for kids to stay active and out of trouble.

I am a retired teacher and the local allocator for basketball referees in Williams Lake.

I have personally refed more than 1,000 basketball games in Williams Lake.

I have never enjoyed being involved in the organization of a tournament as much as this tournament!

The organizing committee did a great job, the fans were amazing and the athletes were exemplary examples of good sportsmanship.

Many games had the younger players playing in the last quarter of the game ensuring that everyone who came to this tournament scored at least two points.

When a player fouled out of a game the whole opposition’s bench came over and shook hands with the fouled out player, congratulating them on a good game.

On elimination games both teams formed a circle and cheered the team that was eliminated.

Also, the calibre of both the boys’ and girls’ finals was as good as or better than any high school zones ever hosted in Williams Lake.

Finally, this tournament was a big economic success for Williams Lake.

Every motel room was full for at least four days, fast food restaurants were very busy and I am sure retail business was up during the week.

Hopefully this will bring an interest in basketball to Williams Lake in the future.

Rail tie burning makes no sense Editor: A submission to the Tribune described “hysteria” occurring at the public meeting about rail ties and asked for common sense.

I missed the hysteria part, but I am encouraged that the writer recommended common sense.

I am old enough to remember the smoking lung-cancer debate during the 1950s and early 60s.

Science discovered a link to lung cancer.

The tobacco companies and big money reminded the public that science had not “proven” the link.

When celebrity Humphrey Bogart was dying from lung cancer, he publicly stated, what was public awareness, that he knew his disease was caused by years of smoking.

Sixty years later, the link is definitive. There is a common public acknowledgement that when diesel fuel is used to apply creosote to wood that the resultant mix should not be incinerated because unhealthy emissions will be discharged into our air.

It’s common sense!

The power plant, when built, could reduce fly ash effectively.

However, in the intervening 25 years, science has closed the gap on understanding the negative

Letters aLways weLcome

health effects of ultrafine particles, measured in nanometers, and has concluded that these nano-sized particles create lung and heart problems.

Further work will eventually determine quantity and accumulation effects.

In the meantime, science will catch up to common sense.

There is another persistent belief that is generally regarded as “common” — that if one incinerates at high enough temperatures, then the toxic substances are rendered harmless.

Atlantic Power maintains that the combination of high temperature incineration in the presence of its electrostatic precipitator will remove particulate matter while burning rail ties, as it did when burning clean wood.

The public is asked to accept the high temperature-destroys-toxicsubstance claim as common sense.

The data driven research group, Partnership for Policy Integrity, in the United States, in 2011 found that electrostatic precipitators’ ability to remove ultrafine particles was “not truly effective.”

And in 2010 the EPA recognized that nitrous oxides and sulphur dioxide are produced at high temperatures, not destroyed.

Even as late as 2015, the group Electrostatics’ stated the following: The efficiency of removal of dust particles smaller than a few micrometers in diameter by conventional electrostatic precipitators decrease(s) with decreased particle size.

It is also common sense that government regulations will protect the public.

Atlantic Power insists emissions are within standards. The standards can be found on the MOE website, updated in January 2016.

The plant’s manager, in a letter to The Tribune, on March 1, 2016, refers to emissions in parts per billion.

The MOE has no guidelines for particulate matter in parts per billion for coarse (PM10) or fine (2.5) particles, and ultrafine particles are not mentioned at all.

It is, therefore, easy to be within non-existent guidelines.

Common sense was ahead of science concerning smoking and lung cancer in the 1950s.

Common sense is still out in front on this newest danger to human health.

Choice to live should be up to each human being Editor: This letter is in response to the letter from Isaac Bedford in the Tribune from Wednesday, March 16.

Obviously you have never been in excruciating pain from cancer and other incurable disease or you would not have written your article.

It is a blessing to finally get relief through trained professionals to end your life the way you seem

it fit.

Yes, life is precious, but then why does God (if you believe in God) give us and especially innocent little children such horrible diseases and pain.

We relieve our adoring pets from crucial pain and suffering and the same should go for humans and it should be their decision.

Entertainment A R Culture T S C.R. Avery rocks this Friday’s Safety Meeting Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor There are just two episodes left in the 2016 Safety Meeting concert series.

This Friday, March 25, we are extremely excited to bring the legendary poet/ beatboxer/ pianist/harmonica player C.R. Avery to town.

C.R. has been hyped by folks like Tom Waits.

He is truly one of Canada’s paramount underground trouba-

dours.

His incredible musical and poetic skills almost seem secondary to his magnetic force as a performer.

When this guy has a mic, it is impossible to look away. He’s toured extensively, hitting all the premier folk fests across Canada, as well as headlining tours across Europe, and opening for folks like Billy Bragg and Buck 65.

With content as subversive as his, it’s hard

to imagine him ever breaking into mainstream stardom.

But that doesn’t seem to be his goal. This guy is like a cult leader, in the best possible way.

Also on the bill this Friday is Lexi Marie.

Lexi blew everybody away rocking Arts on the Fly 2015.

It might have had something to do with her catchy, infectiously groovy songs, but personally I’m most impressed by her ability to strip down to the core

when she steps on stage.

Folks who appreciated Kym Gouchie’s set a few weeks ago will recognize Lexi’s similar gift for cutting straight to the centre of the issue.

She takes life’s big mucky complications and expresses them with a grace and clarity that might make you cry (again, in a good way). She is probably the most understated powerhouse I have ever met.

Setting the tone

for the night we have homegrown Cariboo DJ Papa Lung. I’ve caught this guy (Coleman Bennett) spinning at a couple events promoted by the newly established Serpentine Productions. He knows what’s up.

Tickets are $20 in advance at Red Shreds which is closed for Good Friday, so don’t sleep on it. A bar is provided by the Cariboo Festival Society, with refreshments by the Bean Counter.

Nature Centre banquet features award-winning biologist C.R. Avery at the keyboards.

Professional biologist Jared Hobbs of Victoria will be the guest presenter at the Scout Island Nature Centre’s 2016 fundraising banquet coming up on Friday, April 15 at St. Andrew’s United Church hall.

The presentation theme will be B.C.’s Grasslands: Their beauty and amazing biodiversity.

In 2006 Hobbs received the international Shikar-Safari conservation award for his dedication to the preservation of species and

ecosystems.

His wildlife photography has grown into a parallel career. His photographic images have been featured in Canadian Geographic, British Columbia Magazine, scientific journals and in a book on spotted owls.

Tickets are available

at the Open Book, from Williams Lake Field Naturalist directors and at the Nature Centre.

Eleanor Cooper and Treylon Guichon (front centre) celebrate the graduation of nine women completing the B.C. Schizophrenia Society’s Strengthening Families Together First Nations Edition during a celebration at the Elders Centre at Tletinqox First Nation (Anaham) recently.

Tletinqox completes mental health training Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Elders Centre at Tletinqox First Nation was full of laughter and gratitude last Tuesday as the community celebrated a mental health milestone.

Seven women from the community and two women from nearby Yunesit’in First Nation recently graduated from the British Columbia Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) Strengthening Families Together — First Nations’ Edition Program, offered to families who have loved ones with a serious mental illness.

The original Strengthening Families Together program was developed by BCSS 15 years ago, however, BCSS recognized the need to edit the program to meet the needs of Aboriginal people across the province. Tletinqox is the first Aboriginal community in B.C. to complete the 10-week program.

During the celebration community member and home support worker Aggie Harry was credited numerous times for bringing the program to Tletinqox.

“It takes a champion in the community to launch the program and

that’s where we find success,” said Cindy Savage, BCSS Project Coordinator “Aggie was our champion. We couldn’t have done it without her.”

Aggie said she was inspired to push for and take the program because there are many people in her community struggling with mental illness.

“I think it will be a lot better because there are now more people who know about mental illness,” she said. “Even myself, I have people in my family that are like that.

Now I know where to go and who to contact for help.”

Chief Joe Alphonse, unable to attend the celebration because he was invited to New Aiyansh to talk about the Tsilhqot’in rights and title case, applauded the graduates.

Mental illness is something all societies should be talking about, he told the Tribune by phone.

“My own experience is that individuals who have mental illness are eager to seek help once they have a diagnosis,” Alphonse said. “The biggest struggle is often for families.

The course was good because it challenged community members.”

Savage said BCSS was honoured

The Bowl for Kids Sake event is coming up on April 1, 2, 3 and is aptly titled in recognition of April Fool’s Day, Jesters and Jokers in the Court of the King.

Presented by the Williams Lake and District Credit Union the event includes free bowling at Cariboo Bowling Lanes, free pizza courtesy of Panago in exchange for donations and fundraising for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Williams Lake.

“You should all be very proud of how much you’ve worked together as a community, how much the facilitators have worked together as a team, and how hard the participants have worked to support each other over the last 10 weeks,” Savage said. “Mental illness can

be such a challenging journey and none of us can do it alone.”

The theme of the program is Our Story, Our Journey, Our Strength, in recognition of how important it is to have a safe place to share stories, Savage said.

Rosaline Harry, a youth worker in the community, said the program will benefit her greatly.

“I learned things about mental illness I have never learned about before,” Rosaline said.

“I work with a lot of youth so it will help me deal with how they act.”

Annette Frank, who works with residential school abuse survivors for the Tsilhqot’in National Government, said the program was important because it meant people could take a course in their own community.

Yunesi’tin Elder Dorothy Myers was one of the facilitators for the course and said it is hard to see a loved one go through mental illness.

It is important to

Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Many activities are planned to celebrate Youth Week in Williams Lake taking place May 1 to 7.

“Youth week is an opportunity for communities to come together and celebrate their youth and show the youth how proud they are of them,” said Linda Bingham, Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake program services leader, during a presentation to city council where she asked the city to officially proclaim youth week.

“If we show our youth how proud we are, then in turn they will show pride in their communities.”

For the last two years the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake and several other organizations in the community have been coming together to put on youth celebrations.

Some of the events planned include a ball hockey tournament organized by the RCMP and Punky Lake Wilderness Camp Society.

Other events planned include a youth program service provider fair put on by School District 27 and the Child Youth Mental Health Collaborative. There will be a barbecue, an

open mic night at the boys and girls club youth centre, and a performance at Lake City Secondary by Project Soul — hiphop group from Vancouver.

“We are going to have a prevention event at the high

school and the students at the school will decide what topic is going to be covered and we will help co-ordinate it with the youth,” Bingham said.

Another event at the high school will be a collaboration

with the suicide and sudden death committee.

“There will be more,” Bingham said, noting anyone willing to volunteer is asked to contact her at the Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club 250392-5734.

Intergenerational dinner a hit More than 150 people attended the Cataline Elementary School Intergenerational Dinner hosted by teacher Steve Dickens’ Grade 5/6 class.

The event was held in the school gymnasium on Thursday, March 10.

Throughout the school year, the Intergenerational program brings Dickens’ students together with residents of the Seniors’ Village for social activities.

Students and residents involved in the program enjoy outings and excursions together and the students often visit the Seniors’ Village for game days and special activities.

In October and May, the students also hold their classroom lessons at the Seniors’

Village. Each student is paired with a senior buddy for various ac-

tivities.

The purpose of the Intergenerational

Dinner is twofold, says vice-principal Michele Bebault.

THE MIGHTY

It provides an opportunity for the student, their buddy and the student’s family to sit and have a meal together.

Secondly, the dinner is a fundraiser for the Chelsea Alberechtsen Memorial Intergenerational Scholarship.

Tickets are sold for the dinner and there is a silent auction, with all proceeds going to the scholarship fund.

Students who have participated in the Intergenerational program at Cataline Elementary are eligible to apply for the scholarship when they graduate from Grade 12.

During the dinner the Williams Lake Seniors Village, Retirement Concepts representatives donated $500 to the scholarship fund.

Parade honours Vimy Ridge Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The Battle of Vimy Ridge’s 99th Anniversary will be marked with a parade in Williams Lake on Saturday, April 9.

“The Cadet Canada movement with all three elements recognizes three distinctive battles in Canadian history,” said Lieutenant Bill Sheridan with the Cadet Instructors Guidery of the Canadian Forces during a presentation to city council recently.

“Ours, for the Army Cadets, is Vimy Ridge as it was the only battle where every regiment in the Canadian Army fought along side by side with each other. Since then, even up to including Afghanistan, just recently, we have not achieved this ever again in our nation’s history.”

Sheridan said the

parade will proceed from the back of the Gibraltar Room through the downtown and to the cenotaph in front of city hall, where members of the 3064 Rocky Mountain Rangers Army Cadet Corps, the RCMP and the Legion will honour those who fell and fought at Vimy Ridge.

They will lay wreaths and have a moment of silence.

Sheridan asked if the flags could be flown at half-mast outside of city hall on the day with the Union Jack flag flying, which was Canada’s flag at the time of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

“I have a Union Jack flag I’d be willing to lend,” Sheridan said.

After the parade there will be a gathering at the legion.

Sheridan asked city council to recog-

Travel and dessert night tonight The Travel and Dessert Night series held at St. Andrew’s United Church wraps up for the spring on Wednesday March 23 with a presentation by Ross McCoubrey.

McCoubrey will present a two-part travelogue and slide show.

First he’ll describe his two-week road trip through the back roads and along the fjords of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, says event spokesperson Barry Sale.

Then he’ll tell about his canal boat tour around the Avon Ring in the Midlands of England.

“You’ll be impressed to see how he manoeuvres a 54-foot vessel under 191 bridges, into six tunnels, and through 131 locks, all with only inches to spare,” Sale says.

Then, just to top it all off, you’ll join him on a little side tour to mount Snowden in Northern Wales.

Dessert and coffee will be served at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 23 followed by the show beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation.

“Come on out and enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable evening of discovery,” Sale invites.

This year has seen an explosion of new taste sensations for Dairy Queen.

The new DQ Bakes are artisan-style sandwiches served hot and made to order.

Baked items at DQ are centered around brand new ovens in the restaurant.

Staff are creating three new sandwiches, three new snack-sized melts and three new hot desserts.

DQ is known for cleanliness, friendly customer service, serving quality products and food that is above standard fast food quality.

The beef patties only contain one ingredient — beef. The chicken is whole chicken breasts, not chopped, processed and formed chicken.

All of the ingredients used at DQ are the same quality people would use to cook at home.

The owners of DQ are proud of their employees and say some members of the team have been there since the day DQ opened its doors.

“We’re lucky to have a team that’s very loyal to us and work hard alongside us to provide great customer service every day in everything they do, from store cleanliness and knowing customer names, to flipping every blizzard treat each time it is served,” say owners Janna Gertzen and Chrissie Gertzen.

“Everything we do from the moment we open until the moment we lock up the store is designed to deliver an excellent customer experience, that’s the goal for every employee. I think this is what separates us from other restaurants.”

DQ is open Monday to Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and longer in the summer months.

Four generations of family take advantage of a Chinook Salmon fishing trip through Shearwater Fishing Resort.

A look inside the tourism industry The year 2015 was successful provincially for the tourism industry with indicators suggesting that 2016 is shaping up nicely for businesses in the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast region.

International entries to B.C. increased by 7.9 per cent, while overnight visits from the U.S. to B.C. grew by 9.6 per cent year over year.

Generally speaking it is good for B.C.’s tourism economy when the U.S. dollar is strong. In addition a strong U.S. dollar means other international markets start to look at trips to Canada with added value.

Most of the long haul markets that are key to the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast have been showing steady growth for two consecutive years with no change predicted. Although

West Fraser offers training West Fraser Mills Ltd. and The Interior Logging Association (ILA) teamed up this year to train 16 new heavy duty equipment operators, and four log truck drivers for the forest industry in the Williams Lake area.

The initiative has been carried out in B.C. for the last four years, mainly in the southern part of the province. This is the first year that the entire program was conducted in the Williams Lake area and West Fraser harvesting supervisor Amanda Black helped deliver the program for the ILA this winter.

The classroom portion for the heavy duty equipment training was taught out of Williams Lake TRU campus, and the field training was conducted by logging contractors in the area.

The training initiative is part of West Fraser’s commitment to train and encourage new and young workers (with a special emphasis on engaging First Nations) to join the forest industry. We were encouraged to see the

The students were placed with a logging contractor to complete 160 hours of field training on bunchers, skidders, processors, and loaders.

They also received Safety, First Aid, and Environmental Management System

(EMS) training along with other courses that will help them in their future careers in the forest industry.

The students worked extremely hard to learn and succeed at running the equipment they were trained on, and because of this, have received full-time jobs in the forest industry with local logging contractors.

Industry is an important part of the Cariboo.

We salute Forestry, Mining and Agriculture.

The other part of the program involves training new logging truck drivers, who are in short supply in the industry. Four students, who are currently in Kamloops doing Class 1 training with TRU, will return to the Cariboo Region to complete 160 hours in training in order to drive a logging truck. The students will be placed with and mentored by experienced logging truck drivers who have a demonstrated high commitment to good driving habits, and excellent driving track records.

We hope to create a culture of safe driving behaviors to keep the public and industry safe on the roads.

Due to the success of this year’s program, the ILA will look to source funding for more training in the Williams Lake area in the future. West Fraser has committed to assist the program by helping to support our logging and hauling contractors to train more heavy equipment operators and logging truck drivers.

CCCTA to lead development plans Continued From Page A15 “This is a significant sign of support from our provincial government for the tourism industry,” states Pat Corbett, chair of the CCCTA and founder of the 108 Resort and Hills Health Ranch.

The amendments will take affect for the 2017 assessment year, increasing the maximum assessment reduction to $500,000 and shifting the phase out for benefits from $2 million to $4 million.

“The amendments were long overdue and will enable rural businesses to sustain operations and continue to provide the remarkable experiences our region is known for,” says Corbett.

Some other business highlights include a shift in provincial strategy that will lead to the creation of provincial destination development plans.

The CCCTA will lead the development of these

plans for the Cariboo, Chilcotin, Coast and Fraser Canyon.

The organization also continues to lead the Cariboo Reputation Recovery initiative to support growth of business reputation in the Cariboo and provide leadership support to the industry on transportation opportunities such as ferries and air access.

CCCTA is working with the Central Coast First Nation Heiltsuk and Nuxalk communities, the Tourism Industry Association of BC, the BC Hotel Association, Aboriginal Tourism BC and others to ignite a new vision of tourism and economic development for the Central Coast, including access.

For anyone interested in learning more about the tourism industry and the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, please plan to join us at the annual Tourism Summit hosted this year by the Village of Clinton from October 25-28, 2016.

Mount Polley an important economic contributor Mount Polley mine has been an important economic contributor in the Cariboo region since commencing operations in 1997.

The mine operated as a conventional open pit until 2014 when underground mining commenced in the Boundary zone. The mill capacity averages 22,000 tonnes per day.

Mount Polley Mining Corporation (MPMC) provides more than 300 high paying jobs which have supported and enhanced the lives of many local families for over a generation.

MPMC and its employees support a myriad of local businesses and contribute to local communities throughout the Cariboo region.

During the 12 months which followed the tailings storage facility (TSF) breach on Aug. 4, 2014, mine employees, First Nations members and local contractors worked at the monumental task to first secure the site and then to restore and rehabilitate the

creeks had been extensively rehabilitated.

The mine received the required authorization to allow site contact water to be discharged into Hazeltine Creek through a newly constructed water treatment

plant. Discharged water is carefully and frequently monitored to confirm the receiving environment is protected. Rigorous water balance management is fundamental to sustainable mine operations.

Mount Polley recommenced operations on Aug. 5, 2015, which was a tremendous achievement and a reflection of the quality of the rehabilitation work.

The current approval, which requires that mine water and tailings be deposited in the Springer pit, will allow for operations through to April 2016.

The mine is currently in the application process requesting a return to normalized operations using the repaired TSF. The application contemplates four years of operations at normal mining and mill rates. It will be necessary to remove the water and tailings from the Springer pit by early 2018 to provide access to ore within the pit.

The TSF and underlying foundation have been subjected to intensive geotechnical site investigation and dam stability analysis.

The TSF is now subject to an ongoing independent review by a newly established

Independent Engineering Review Panel.

One of the key modifications resulting from the investigations has been additional buttressing of the TSF. The results and information that has been gathered as a result of these investigations are important to the consideration of the current application for the mine to use the TSF. Over the past year and a half, employees at Mount Polley mine have committed extraordinary time and effort to assure that effects of the breach were successfully remediated as quickly and effectively as possible.

MPMC staff and management are now focused on working with the First Nations and local communities to obtain the necessary permits to continue operations for the next four years.

Mount Polley has a large resource that is expected to support continued operations beyond the four years, dependent on the copper price and approvals.

Taseko-Gibraltar: a look back on 2015 Dave Rouleau Industrial Update Commodity prices, like many other things, are cyclical in nature. Copper prices have now been trending lower over the past six years and, as a result, mines in British Columbia and around the world have taken steps to reduce costs, cut back on workforce hours and numbers and even closed operations.

At Taseko-Gibraltar, we have taken several steps to carefully manage our spending so that we can weather this prolonged period of low copper prices, keep the mine operating and as many of our workforce as possible employed.

We have been careful in our planning and in our forecasting. Many on the Taseko-Gibraltar management team have been through similar economic and low commodity price cycles and have prepared the company accordingly.

This experience provided the confidence necessary to invest over $700 million to modernize, improve efficiencies and lower our cost

It is because of that investment that the mine remains open during these very difficult economic times on the metal mining business. As metal prices recover, as they surely will one day, the enterprise is well positioned to take advantage of that

in everyone’s best interest.

Last year, in 2015, TasekoGibraltar purchased approximately $92.5 million in supplies and services from the BC Interior/ Cariboo region. Ninetythree per cent of TasekoGibraltar’s wages are paid to those living in Williams Lake, Quesnel, and 100

Mile House. In 2015, Gibraltar provided $67.9 million in annual wages total; in which, $63 million went directly to Cariboo residents.

Credit for much of Taseko-Gibraltar’s success and its ability to carry on making its contribution to the local economy is owed to the dedicated hard work and expertise of our employees. Our people are performance oriented and focused on maintaining the competitiveness of the operation. But there’s more to it than just getting the job done. Great attention and care is paid to getting the job done safely.

On Dec. 31, 2015, Taseko’s Gibraltar Mine employees reached another great milestone — the second year in a row without a single loss time incident. This record of safety now exceeds three million person hours worked without a loss time injury; an extraordinary feat. In recognition of the accomplishment the Province of British Columbia honoured Gibraltar and its employees with the John Ash award at the 54th An-

Educators work to enhance early learning

CERTIFIED LASH SPECIALIST

Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Early childhood educators in the lakecity are continuing to work on enhancing early childhood education in the Williams Lake area.

Faren Rouse, coowner/educator of Exploring the Puddle, Early Learning Centre with Joan Lozier, School District 27’s early years co-ordinator recently attended a weekend retreat led by executive directors of the Early Childhood Educators of BC. The retreat was held in Richmond and included early childhood educators from all around the province.

“We were able to hear what branches are achieving and working toward in their own communities,” Rouse said. “We shared ideas on how to better connect with other early childhood educators and associate professionals in related fields within our region.

Fantastic ideas came about, many of which we will hopefully be able to bring to Wil-

The Williams Lake branch of the organization is currently circulating a petition to have a crosswalk with a signal light established on Mackenzie Avenue at the Comer Street crossing to the Williams Lake River

Valley trail access.

“There is not currently a safe route within reasonable walking distance to access the trails on foot,” says Sheilah Nairn coowner of Exploring the Puddle Early Learning Centre. “Many pedestrians take advantage

of the fact that we have such a wonderful, natural environment right in the heart our city but it can often be hazardous to access unless you are in a vehicle.”

She says the crosswalk on Mackenzie at the bottom of Oliver Street to access the

Station House Gallery is .6 of a kilometre away from the trailhead and there isn’t a sidewalk on that side of Mackenzie to get to the trailhead.

The local group is also working toward having an early childhood education training program established at Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake.

At a recent meeting Nairn said the local group also discussed the lack of substitutes and qualified early childhood educators in Williams Lake.

“Currently, in order to become an early childhood educator, students either have to move away from the community or complete online courses,” Nairn said.

“Although online education can be convenient, it fails to offer the same handson learning that is offered through other institutions.”

The Williams Lake branch of the Early Childhood Educators of BC meets once a month rotating meetings to the various

Meetings include a group discussion and a tour of the host facility, Nairn says.

At one of the recent meetings, she said Robyn Vermeulen, the local daycare licensing officer, answered questions and concerns around how to provide children with opportunities for taking risks as part of their development in a safe way and in keeping with licensing restrictions.

In order to encourage more participation in the local early education organization she says they have also created a closed Facebook group for all local early childhood educators. Information on meetings, workshops and special events will be posted on the site, Nairn said.

“Hopefully this will involve a greater number of educators and increase our collective voice as educators,” Nairn says.

The group meets during the first week of each month.

Native Sons, Syilx claim JANT titles Week-long provincial tournament concludes in Williams Lake

SPORTS NOTEBOOK

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer

Sunday, April 3

The Nanaimo Native Sons repeated as tournament champions in front of a raucous crowd Friday in Williams Lake at the Junior All Native Basketball Tournament.

The Native Sons defeated Syilx (Okanagan Nation) 95-81 in the final to top 16 other teams from around the province in the tournament, held March 13-18.

“First off, I’d like to thank that other team for playing a great game against us,” said Native Sons coach Charles Gladstone. “Playing them year after year is pretty tough.”

Syilx had sent Nanaimo to the loser’s side of the draw just two days prior, where the Native Sons battled through Prince Rupert in the semifinal to earn the rematch in the championship.

Hayden Jeffrey unloaded for 35 points, while Jordan Gladstone dropped 19 points to lead Nanaimo’s offence. Will Nicholls also chipped in with 16 in the win.

The team’s path to the championship consisted of wins over the Gitmidiik Storm (Gitlaxtaamiks), the Maaqtusiis Magic (Ahousat), the Skidegate Saints (Haida Gwaii) and Prince Rupert.

Trailing 45-40 at the half, Gladstone said his club was getting hammered on the boards and needed to start playing a more team-oriented game.

“We knew if we could do that and close the wings off in the second half we’d get the game,” he said.

In the girls’ final Syilx (Okanagan Nation) downed Greenville 71-40 to claim its third consecutive Junior All Native Basketball Tournament crown.

Madison Terbasket scored 25 points, Jessica Parker dropped 18 points and Reiley Terbasket had 15.

“We played well when we had to,” said Syilx coach Amanda Montgomery. “They played Syilx ball and pulled together to win for the third straight year.”

She said for two of her players, Madison and Reiley, it was their last year of eligibility to play in the tournament.

“They really excelled with

Parker, who was dominant in the post during the final, will play a big role in Syilx’s future heading forward, Montgomery

She’s a really coachable girl.”

On the boys’ side the Nuxalk Nation defeated Lil’wat (Mount Currie) in its first game before falling to Prince Rupert in round two.

Wednesday, despite a valiant effort, Bella Coola was eliminated from the tournament

by Port Simpson.

The girls, meanwhile, downed Skidegate in its first game, but lost to Greenville, the tournament runner-up, in game two. They then advanced after a win over the Gitsegukla Predators, before being knocked out of the tournament by Van City (Vancouver).

The tournament featured upwards of 450 participants in both boys’ and girls’ divisions of players aged 13-19. Games were spread across three venues in Williams Lake where crowds of more than 500 spectators regularly attended.

Tournament committee member and organizer Crystal Tallio of Bella Coola said she couldn’t have been happier with how the week went, noting more than 50 volunteers spent countless hours organizing the event.

“We started back in August [of 2015] and we’ve been going full

Tallio said. “We really wanted to represent our kids and uphold our youth, as well as represent our community.

“The basketball was all really good calibre and all the kids played their best. We had lots of good feedback from the other teams.”

Prior to the tournament teams had expressed hesitance about travelling to Williams Lake due to a recent rise in violent crime in the city.

Tallio, however, said everyone’s preconceived notions were put to rest after spending time in the city and thanked members of the RCMP for being visible around the tournament’s three venues and for spending time with the kids.

“The RCMP were visible and made themselves well-known around the tournament,” Tallio said.

“There had been a lot of bad publicity about a lot of crimes in Williams Lake [before the tournament]. The RCMP pulled to together and were around the games and it was great to see.”

One of the most memorable moments of the tournament came when RCMP members, dressed in uniform, played an impromptu pickup basketball game at the court outside Lake City Secondary School’s Williams Lake Campus against players from Hesquiaht (northwest of Tofino).

Next year’s Junior All Native Basketball Tournament will be hosted in Kelowna.

SPORTS Rustlers coach looks to further strengthen rugby program Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Braden McCallum wants to make the Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football program even better.

The team’s head coach, coming into his second season this year, said despite the longstanding success of the team, there’s much untapped potential he sees to take advantage of.

“Coming in last year and seeing the great work, the excellent athletes, I thought there was a great opportunity to see there’s so much more we can do with the players and personnel we have tactically speaking, technically speaking and change the style of game we can play,” McCallum said.

He’s currently putting a call out to the community seeking anyone interested in helping coach in several areas including a forwards coach, a backs coach and a fitness and conditioning coach.

The Williams Lake Rustlers’ season will begin March 29 with training, followed by an important executive meeting on April 7 at 7 p.m. at the Rustlers’ clubhouse on Ottoman Drive.

“I’m going to be presenting the coach’s plan and direction for the 2016 season there and put a call out for all current, future and anyone interested in getting involved with the team in any capacity to attend,” he said. “We’ll go over tactics, strategy, my coaching philosophy and expectations of players.”

McCallum, a teacher on call with School District 27, moved to Williams Lake from Shelburne, N.S. two years ago. His background coaching rugby is an extensive one.

Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club head coach Braden McCallum is hoping to continue to grow the club’s program this season.

During his time there he helped start a rugby sevens league for the Tri-County Regional School Board alongside program director and head coach Jack Hanratty.

“The TCRSB is very similar to School District 27 in size,” he said, however, added the sport of rugby waned in popularity in comparison with B.C. “In Nova Scotia there were no contact sports [in the schools] up until then. Last year in the third year of the league two players from Yarmouth made the Nova Scotia provincial team.”

Prior to moving to Nova Scotia McCallum and his wife, Amy Jordan — both born and raised in Ontario — lived in Edinburgh, Scotland from 2007 to 2011.

“While there I coached a premier 1 senior women’s team called the Royal High Cougars in the Scottish Rugby Union,” he said. “We finished second in the league the first year I took over the team and had 17 players that either played for the Scottish women’s national team or U18 academy side ranging in ages from 16 to 32.”

In 2010 when England hosted the World Cup, six of McCallum’s players were in the starting lineup for Scotland.

Later in 2012, when the couple moved back to Ontario for a year, he helped coach a team with his sister in the Ontario Western League.

It was Jordan’s veterinary work, however, that brought the couple and their young son, Finley, 2, to Williams Lake in August of 2014.

It also helped that McCallum had done his

research and discovered Williams Lake had a strong rugby community.

“One of the things we were looking for was a place that had a rugby community already established,” he said.

“Rugby clubs and communities are some of the most welcoming and we saw it as a way to make friends and build a new social network in a new city.”

Since arriving McCallum has also jumped on board to help coach the Lake City Falcons girls’ high school rugby team alongside Morley Wilson.

“Between the two of us we’ve really been able to elevate the skill level of the players and enhance the rugby program,” he said. “He’s [Wilson] built more than just a team and I’m happy to be a part of it.”

The Rustlers, last year’s north zone champions, meanwhile, play in a division with Prince George and Terrace.

“We’re hoping we can win the league again this year and have a much better showing at provincials,” he said, add-

ing provincials are held during the second week of September in Penticton.

He said he’d encourage anyone interested in playing rugby, no matter their current skill level or knowledge of the game, to get involved.

“The welcoming atmosphere, the executive and players, as well as everyone involved have been unbelievably welcoming to not just me

but my family,” he said.

“The team has really helped us gain a sense of belonging in the community. I’d highly recommend anyone new to town looking for that social aspect to come check us out.”

The team practices Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7 to 8:15 p.m. at the rugby fields on Ottoman Drive, located off Dog Creek Road.

McCallum would

also like to setup a meeting with those wishing to get involved on the coaching end of the Rustlers for Thursday, March 31 during the evening.

If anyone is interested in playing, coaching or being involved in any capacity with the team they can contact McCallum by e-mail at braden.mccallum@ sd27.bc.ca or by phone at 250-305-7848.

The defeat put the T-wolves in the bronze-medal game against the host team, Prince George, just hours after the previous game.

Williams Lake, exhausted both mentally and physically from the previous effort, fell behind quickly and never recovered despite a late rush, losing 5-3.

Brett Hare scored twice for the T-wolves with Neufeld adding the other marker. Lyons played in goal for the team’s final game.

A team representative said the fourthplace finish was quite an accomplishment for the team. Players and coaches gave everything they had despite being short manned by injuries.

Williams Lake should be extremely proud of the effort the team put forward and the manner in which they carried themselves throughout the tournament.

Bantams end season at provincial championships The Williams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timberwolves’ season came to an end last week during the BC Hockey Provincial Championships.

The event, held March 13-16 in Salmon Arm, saw nine teams compete including Port Moody, Vernon, Salmon

a win would put them into the tournament semifinals. The Timberwolves came out strong and wound up with a 4-2 win.

Again, Swan (2G), Paynton (1G, 1A) and Loring (1G) each had strong games, while Lyons was in goal for the win.

The semifinal game saw the T-wolves matched up with a very fast and skilled team from Vernon.

Williams Lake got out to an early lead and held on until late in the third period when Vernon tied the game at 1-1.

The Timberwolves had numerous chances to go ahead but couldn’t beat a stingy Vernon netminder.

Vernon then pulled ahead with just minutes left in the third and scored a late goal to cap off the 3-1 win.

Paynton notched the long goal for Williams Lake, while Lyons was strong in net, despite the result.

and the eventual provincial champions.

Williams Lake tallied first but Aldergrove piled on the goals from there in a 9-2 win.

Braden Boyd and William Paynton scored for the Twolves in the losing effort, while Hayden Lyons and Dylan Derose split the game in goal.

Game two saw Williams Lake look like a completely different team, knowing another loss would mean the end of the playoff hopes, and dominated almost the entire game before giving up three late goals in a 7-5 win over Campbell River.

Cody Swan (2G, 2A), Paynton (1G, 1A) and Corey Loring (1G) led the way for the T-wolves with Spencer Neufeld adding the final goal. Derose picked up the win between the pipes for Williams Lake.

Next, against a strong Mission team, Williams Lake knew

The Timberwolves opened their tournament with a 5-3 loss to the eventual tournament champion, Campbell River.

They then met a tough Vernon Vipers

In the team’s last game Williams Lake lost 8-3 to Cranbrook.

SPORTS Pfleiderer, Team BC, win Canadian championship Williams Lake’s Laura Pfleiderer and her BC Rugby U18 Sevens girls teammates celebrated a monumental Canadian Rugby 7s Championship victory March 12 in front of a boisterous home crowd at BC Place.

Strengthened by a relentless effort on defence BC, who had conceded only one try in the entire tournament,

blanked Alberta by a score of 17-0.

Moments later, victory celebrations already underway, the BC Rugby U18 Boys followed suit with a 17-5 win over Ontario.

From the outset of the girls’ game BC quickly took up possession and put early pressure on Alberta.

Bazian finished the fast-paced sequence while being tackled hard to the right of the posts, getting the ball down in goal to give BC the lead, much to the delight of the thousands of fans cheering the team on.

BC then continued its momentum in the shutout victory.

“The focus and intensity we showed all week was incredible,” said BC Rugby U18 girls coach, Darcy Patterson. “In five games we allowed only one try against, which shows how much heart and determination our girls had on defense.

BC took wins over Ontario 1 (22-0), Ontario 2 (20-0), New-

A dear sweet angel was returned to heaven Tuesday, March 15th 2016.

Julia Joy Roberts began her life at the Wells Hospital on August 18th 1937, and along with her parents, Gordon and Jean (Rankin) Roberts and brothers Duncan and Gerry, lived a short time in Barkerville before the family made their home in Soda Creek.

After losing her mother while still a baby, Joy was in the loving care of her Granny Rankin. A short time later, her father remarried Jean Weeks and became the only mother Joy ever knew. Joy spent many joyful years growing up with her many cousins in Soda Creek, especially her cousin Jule, who was like a sister to her.

She made the big move to Williams Lake as a teen to live in the dormitory while attending school, and it was here that she met her love and husband of 60 years Rex Moon.

Rex and Joy lived a loving and adventurous life in Williams Lake, traveling throughout B.C., Alberta and the U.S. by car, plane and motorcycle. They volunteered for 18 years with the local 4-H clubs, as well as many community and school events in town.

November 20, 1956 February 28, 2016 It is with great sadness that the family of Wanda Laurel Manuel announce her passing after a long and heroic battle with a lengthy illness.

Wanda is survived by her loving husband Dennis Manuel, her children: David Dyck, Danny Dyck, Richie Dyck (Tara), Laura Dyck and Dustin Dyck (Rosanne).

She is also survived by her mother Albena Johnstone, her siblings: Robin Cornell (Larry), Frances Crowder (Terry), Heather Johnstone, Barbara Hansler (Delbert), and Lorelei Johnstone (Pat).

Wanda was predeceased by her twin brother Wayne Johnstone, sister Lynn Johnstone, son Johnny Dyck, brother Douglas Johnstone and father Howard Johnstone.

Wanda was truly an inspiration to all who knew her. We will forever miss our beautiful Wife, Mother, Daughter, and Friend.

Dennis and Wanda would like to thank all family and friends, the communities of Barkerville, Wells, Williams Lake, Quesnel and the Staff at G.R. Baker Memorial Hospital for their overwhelming support.

Memorial donations may be made to G.R. Baker Hospital.
