Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It could be at least two weeks before a plan is in place to decide when residents can return to Fort McMurray, said Alberta Premier Rachel Notley after touring the fire-devastated area Monday.

“First responders and repair crews have weeks of work ahead of them to make this city safe

for the people of Fort McMurray — but it is going to be made safe,” Notley wrote in a Facebook post.

Notley said about 2,400 structures were lost in the fire, but 25,000 were saved, including the hospital, municipal buildings and every functioning school.

“This city was surrounded by an ocean of fire only a few days ago, but Fort McMurray and the surrounding communities

have been saved,” Notley stated.

“And they will be rebuilt.”

Meanwhile, residents and businesses in Williams Lake continue to rally to help Fort McMurray, gathering supplies and cash donations.

A container loaded with supplies at Cariboo Chevrolet GM will be hauled to Fort McMurray Wednesday morning, while Lake City Ford has put the call out to fill a reefer trailer for the

Fort McMurray family evacuates home to Williams Lake Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Fort McMurray wildfire evacuees Danielle and Desmond Doerksen escaped to Williams Lake Thursday and at this point do not know if they’ve lost their home.

On Tuesday, May 3, the couple grabbed their three children, packed a few belongings, and fled with their fifth wheel.

By the time they arrived at Grassland, Alta., Danielle said they realized they wouldn’t be returning to Fort McMurray any time soon.

“We decided we might as well come to Williams Lake. We both grew up here and have family here,” she said.

For now the Doerksens are staying in their fifth wheel, parked in the driveway at Danielle’s parents’ home in

Glendale.

On Friday morning they registered their boys Jordan, 8, and Jacob, 6, for school in Williams Lake.

Desmond has worked for Finning in Fort McMurray since 2004.

Soon after they arrived here this week, employees at Finning in Williams Lake decided to help the family out by setting up a donation box in the front office.

By Friday afternoon the box was almost full.

“It’s unbelievable,” Desmond said of the outpouring the family has received. “We are blown away by the support from Williams Lake. We feel like we never left.”

Danielle’s relatives in Winnipeg have also sent them lots of clothes.

Even before the official evacuation alert was issued Tuesday

afternoon in Fort McMurray, Desmond said he realized they needed to leave.

“I climbed up on our roof and I could see the fire cresting over the hill,” he recalled.

“That was it, I decided we were getting out.

I told Danielle to go bring the kids home from school.”

After circling around the city a few times they managed to get onto Highway 63 driving southward, even though traffic was being directed north.

As they drove through the “hell fire,” seeing a gas station and hotel in flames, trees exploding and vehicles everywhere, it was surreal they said.

“The sky was dark like the sun had gone down but it was only 3:30 in the afternoon,” Danielle said.

Feeling fortunate they got out when they did, the Doerksens said

The Doerksens fled Fort McMurray Tuesday and are back in their home town for the time being, staying in their fifth wheel. Finning has set up a donation box for the family. it is still so hard to believe that a city the size of Fort McMurray

could go up in flames so quickly.

While he is trying

to find a place for his family to live in Williams Lake, Desmond

said he hopes to return to help rebuild Fort McMurray.

Penalties on driving stiffen

MERCURY RISING

The B.C. government is toughening up on motorists who use their cell phone while driving.

Significantly higher fines, more penalty points, and earlier interventions for repeat offenders — including driving prohibitions — are all part of the province’s push to eliminate distracted driving and the dangers that come with it.

“Distracted driving continues to be on the rise and is the leading cause of collisions, both on the highways and

in municipalities,” said Sgt. Mike Hacker of the Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Unit.

“There is a time and a place for cell phones but driving isn’t one of them.”

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1.

The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a

second offence within a year of the first.

Hacker said he welcomes the changes, along with the educational component to make drivers aware of the risks involved with distracted driving.

“Clearly there has to be a deterrence but the fine amounts are only one piece of the puzzle,” he said.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the tougher legislation is the result of public consultation in which 90 per cent of respondents indicated they support stronger distracted driving penalties.

My home is gone.”’

Tim walked from Prince George to Vancouver to raise funds for his partner Shannon Dickson to have stem cell treatment for MS. Tim finished his almost month-long walk at the University of B.C. hospital on Sunday, May 1 and surprised Shannon with a proposal of marriage at the finish line.

Speaking from Bella Coola Monday afternoon, May 9, Tim’s mom Kimberly Kaytor said Tim and Shannon and their children are staying with Shannon’s parents Pat and Sunny Dickson in Bella Coola while they try to regroup and figure out what to do.

Tim and Shannon and their two young children arrived back home in Bella Coola from Vancouver Wednesday night, May 4.

Pat, who lives 15 miles away in the Bella Coola Valley, said the family was just finishing dinner when the fire started about 8 p.m. Thursday, May 5, in an out-building behind Tim and Shannon’s home and quickly spread through trees to the main house.

NEWS Resident fights selling of park land Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Kimberly Code is fighting a proposal to sell off park land in Williams Lake.

Her home backs onto Patrick Reid Park on Boundary Street, one of five small parks city council is considering selling to raise funds to invest in the river valley trail system.

“Taking green space away is not the right way to go about raising funds for other projects,” Code said Tuesday. “When they built our neighborhoods they built these parks as part of the them.”

The other parks being considered for dis-

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

There will be an open house Thursday at city hall to discuss the city’s plan to dispose of five small parks including Patrick Reid Park on Boundary Street. posal are Beauchamp, Johnson, Gibbon and Twelfth Avenue Tot Parks.

In an earlier interview, Mayor Walt Cobb said the parks are no longer in use, but Code argued it is proven that green spaces are important,

even if they are not being used.

“You are looking at the trees, the deer, the nature,” she said. “Our house overlooks the park, that’s one of the reasons we bought it.”

Besides, many people in the neighborhood use the park to

walk through with dogs, teach children how to ride a bike, and in the winter children sled there, she added.

There used to be a picnic table and a garbage can in the park, but those have been removed by the city in recent years.

Code started an online petition against the proposal a few weeks ago and already it has garnered 188 signatures.

This Thursday, May 12, the city is hosting an open house at city hall from 6 to 8 p.m. about the park land plan and Code is encouraging people to attend.

“People may not think it effects them,” Code said. “But how

would you like it if somebody came up to your house and decided to take away your view of the lake or the chunk of property in front of you.”

In addition to Thursday’s open house, city staff is placing displays about the plan at city hall and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex between May 14 and 24.

During that time the public is encouraged to fill out the response sheets provided at those two locations.

The feedback will help city council decide on how to proceed.

Selling park land requires either assent from the lectors or an alternative approval process.

RCMP nab suspected impaired drivers 7 at 9:58 p.m. police received a report of a man stealing $20 out of a donation box at the Handi Mart.

The suspect is described as having red

hair, a black T-shirt, black hoodie and backpack. RCMP are in the process of reviewing video surveillance taken at the time of the theft.

On Sunday, May 8 at 1:35 a.m. Byron said officers stopped the driver of a Red Kia Sorrento on Dog Creek Road and discovered .3 grams of

methamphetamine, a meth pipe and some marijuana.

Police are forwarding charges to Crown against the 35-year-old male driver.

Williams Lake RCMP handed out two 90-day driving prohibitions to suspected impaired drivers Friday night as part of their weekend shift.

According to Staff Sgt. Del Byron, on Friday, May 6, police received a report at 7:24 p.m. of a possible impaired driver on Chimney Lake Road who had been consuming alcohol during the day at the lake.

Officers stopped the 18-year-old female driver, observed signs of intoxication and performed two sobriety tests, which the driver failed, said police.

She was given a 90day driving prohibition and her vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Later that evening, at about 11:49 p.m., a 22-year-old male driver was also given a 90-day driving prohibition and 30-day vehicle impoundment after police discovered the man outside of his vehicle after it was parked in the Kal Tire parking lot. Byron said officers had spotted the driver leaving a liquor establishment earlier that evening.

Not all heroes wear capes

CELEBRATING MOTHER’S DAY

P

eople who fear human activities can have negative impacts on the environment are often called fearmongers.

Those who are happy with business as usual believe fearmongers are spreading scary rumours because they are against progess.

I’ll take a chance on being labelled a wildfire fearmonger. Some say climate change is the underlying culprit in the Fort McMurray inferno. Others shake their heads at that.

There probably are a number of contributing factors, but no matter what or who is responsible, human beings are no match for the fire.

Traditional fire fighting methods couldn’t stop it and the only hope, according to experts on the scene, is a weather change. We don’t know how to make the weather change, so it’s a matter of French watching and waitConnection ing for nature to Diana French do her thing.

There are similar but smaller fires in B.C.’s Peace River area but cooler weather and a snowfall slowed them down a bit.

Was the Fort Mac fire totally unexpected?

Well no. In 2009, when 70 fire scientists and fire managers met in Victoria to discuss what possible impact climate change might have on the fire situation in Canada, they already knew wildfires were “exceeding thresholds,” becoming more unpredictable, burning hotter and faster than ever before. In 2011, a report following the devastating Slave Lake fire made 21 recommendations on how to prepare for the next one. A recent study, which used tree-ring data to reconstruct the coastal climate back to the 1600s, suggests B.C. can expect severe droughts in the next few decades. It doesn’t take an expert to connect hot dry weather with wildfires. So far, so good in Cariboo Chilcotin, but it’s only mid-May. What will the summer bring?

Premier Christy Clark says BC is ready for whatever. After the fearsome fires in the Chilcotin six summers ago, local governments are no doubt on the ball, but while we trust the authorities to do the right thing, disaster preparedness and fire prevention are everyone’s responsibility. The thought of fires surely puts a damper on the joys of summer. Hopefully we’ll be lucky. Or fearful enough to be prepared if we’re not.

Our Viewpoint

Big money ban The numbers can’t be surprising but they are interesting nonetheless.

According to a new poll from Insights West (sponsored by the nonprofit Dogwood Initiative, based out of Victoria), B.C. voters overwhelmingly support a ban on corporate and union political donations.

Dogwood Initiative is a citizen group calling on the province to “ban big money” in politics.

The survey (you can find the full results online) showed that 86 per cent of British Columbians polled would favour bans on the corporate/union donations before the next election.

The commonly held belief is that the bigger the war chest, the better the chance of winning — in almost any election. Is that democracy in action?

Kathy McLean Publisher

Angie Mindus Editor

Gaeil Farrar Community Editor

The report also states that B.C. is the last province in Canada to allow unlimited donations from anywhere in the world, including in municipal elections.

The survey shows this leaves members of the public more than a little cynical about the role of ordinary citizens.

More than two-thirds of adults polled (68 per cent) believe citizens are not influential in shaping policy in this province. The most influential group is corporations (90 per cent).

Ranked in order of influence were corporations, lobbyists, foreign investors, unions and then the citizens themselves. It seems a little backward, no?

n the words of the McLeese Lake Volunteer Fire Department, not all heroes wear capes.

Recently, I travelled to MLVFD. On behalf of our provincial government, I was delighted to present them with $21,000 for first responder operations.

Recently, the MLVFD first responder’s team participated in an intensive training session at the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department’s Hall. This is a fantastic program that provides hands-on training and seminars to firefighters across the province.

We owe a great debt to firefighters. During fires, while people run out of a burning building, firefighters put themselves in harm’s way.

However, with the wildfires in the northeast region, MLA and recent wildMusings fires that were contained in Nazko Coralee Oakes and 70 Mile House thanks to our fire crews, as the summer approaches, it’s important that we all do our part to prevent wildfires. The FireSmart program teaches ways we can minimize wildfire threats near our homes.

FireSmart activities include: thinning and trimming trees, shrubs and other vegetation, removing flammable material from the property, ensuring that woodpiles and other easily ignited materials are stored away from buildings and using fire-resistant building and landscaping materials. The recently updated FireSmart Homeowner’s Manual is available online at: http://bcwildfire.ca/Prevention/firesmart.htm.

As part of Balanced Budget 2016, our government also invested $85 million in the new Forest Enhancement Society of B.C. The society will focus on wildfire risk reduction to complement the ministry’s existing forest stewardship programs and world-class wildfire suppression capabilities. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or burning violation, please call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the MLVFD’s Mother’s Day Market Sunday. It’s their biggest fundraising event of the year and it’s great to see the department get the support they need. The MLVFD is looking for more volunteers to join the team. If you are interested in helping out, call Ian Hicks at 250-303-2210.

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

Help out fire victims Editor: During the afternoon of Thursday, May 5, the Windermere Valley Men’s Club held its weekly competition. Our thoughts were not on golf, but rather on the families displaced by the fires raging in northern Alberta.

At the conclusion of the event, our membership decided to donate the prize money that would

normally have gone to the afternoon’s winners to the disaster relief efforts currently being undertaken.

Al Wittke, a longstanding member of our club, also donated $2,000 to the Salvation Army. Al lived in Fort McMurray in the Beacon Hill subdivision. His former residence has burned to the ground.

The Windermere Valley Men’s

Club is challenging men’s and women’s golf clubs across B.C. and Alberta to do the same. Take the prize money from one afternoon of golf to assist our friends and neighbours in the Fort McMurray area.

Palliative care the moral option Editor: June 6, 2016, our government will have to finalize all legislation related to Medical Assistance in Dying (Bill C-14). The Supreme Court of Canada legal challenge that resulted in our previous ban on Medical Assistance in Dying being lifted (The Carter Decision) resulted in the formation of a Parliamentary Committee to develop guidelines of Practice for Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada. This document was released February 2016.

Palliative Sedation Therapy for Intolerable Suffering versus Medically Assisted Death, (Assisted Suicide), and Euthanasia Palliative Care is defined by the World Health Organization as “an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiriA big bouquet of roses to all of the businesses and individuals who made donations to support the 150 Mile House Elementary Spring Fever Family Dance: OT Timber Framing, Shoppers Drug Mart, 150 Mile Service Center, Red Shred’s, Kathy Pelchat, Jason Skuratow Backhoe Service, The Rusty Bucket, Weed Free Lawns, Top Notch Log Construction, Red Tomato Pies, The Fowler Family, Sutton Realty, Linda Jorgensen, Upper Cuts Hair Design, Lacy Wilson, Cathy Bremner, Huckle Buckle Daycare, The Nohr Family, Taylor Made Cakes, West Fraser, Kit and Kaboodle, Inland Kenworth, Lush and Marshall’s Store.

tual.”(1) Palliative Care: • Provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms • Affirms life and regards dying as a normal process • Intend to neither hasten nor postpone death Palliative Sedation Therapy (PST): Also “Controlled sedation,” “Total Sedation,” or “Continuous Sedation,” is the intentional lowering of a patient’s level of consciousness in the last days of life. It involves the proportional and monitored use of sedative medications to relieve intolerable suffering by a reduction in patient consciousness. The patient experiences symptom relief until death occurs by the natural course of the underlying disease, usually within hours to days.

Medical assisted death means knowingly and intentionally providing a person with the knowledge, means, or both required to commit suicide, including counselling about lethal doses of drugs, prescribing such lethal doses, or supplying the drugs.

Euthanasia means knowingly and intentionally performing an act that is explicitly intended to end another person’s life and that includes the following elements: the person has an incurable illness; the agent knows about the person’s condition, and commits the act with the primary intention of ending the life of that person. Many will experience a moral dilemma with the intentional ending of a person’s life, as in medically assisted death or euthanasia.

However, to use deep sedation to relieve intolerable suffering and bring a patient to a peaceful and comfortable state until natural death, the intention is different. It would be preferable to see funding placed into universal funding for palliative/end of life care for all Canadians, palliative care beds, training programs for palliative care Volunteers, increasing Community Nursing funding so that families have the support they require should they choose to care for a family member at home.

Shirley-Pat Chamberlain How do you enforce it?

Derek Funk

Fines are great but how do you enforce it?

I think it’s going to tie up the courts.

Tamara Casavant

Ellen Paynton

I think it will deter people.

It has the potential to work but it has to be followed up on consistently.

Paul and Glenda Hill 150 Mile House *** A field of roses to doctors Gracia and Wolf and their amazing team for the dedication to CHAPS “Cardiac Health Advancement Programs” and the level of help they provide. It is almost a year now since just two hours a week for 12 weeks, changed my life. Things that worried me and others I wasn’t so concerned with, were all addressed. I learned so much about my heart, body mechanics, the food I eat, the meds I take and put it all into perspective

with hands-on approach and in words I understood. People came in to talk in a caring environment, questions were encouraged and, just having the one-on-one advice from these professionals was a gem in itself. Doctors, nurses, therapists, physic dietitians, diabetic care, etc.

If you have had a cardiac event, such as a stroke, heart attack or bypass, or any serious issues related to cardio, talk to your doctor for a referral to CHAPS. We are so lucky to finally have some funding and people willing to put this program to work. I feel they gave their all to help me through all my medical problems and guided me to be the best I can be. You just can’t beat it.

Important piece missing on auditor general’s mine report Editor:

One very important factor had been absent from the coverage of Auditor General Carol Bellringer’s scathing report on the failings of the province’s mine monitoring, and massively underfunded liabilities for mine accidents and polluting abandoned projects — the role of First Nations in providing solutions.

Ms. Bellringer’s report vindicates what B.C. First Nations have been saying for years, the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Environment fail to protect British Columbians from the

environmental risk, monitoring of mine projects is weak, and taxpayers are on the hook for damages because liability funding is woefully inadequate.

The auditor general calls for independent monitoring. First Nations are in the perfect position, with capacity building and training assistance, to provide this service through shared decision-making on permitting, and direct participation in independent monitoring and enforcement, through our own environmental guardians programmes on our lands.

Then there is the matter of taxpayers

being on the hook for up to $1 billion in unfunded liabilities for mine remediation.

In fact that liability can only increase as new projects come on line.

This risk was pointed out last year in the First Nation’s Energy and Mining Council’s report on the threat of mining to northeastern B.C.’s watersheds.

That report called, among other things, for a “Superfund” to be created to ensure taxpayers are not left to pick up the tab for accidents and to make sure remedial work is done.

First Nations have not been waiting for the BC government

to wake up. For example, the North Shuswap Tribal Council has already enacted its own detailed mining policy and tool kits and that other are following suit.

We know that, while making sure only the right projects proceed in the right way is crucially important, so is ensuring that existing or future mines operate under the conditions laid down for them, that the effluence and other environmental impacts are properly monitored, and that remediation work is done.

Our First Nations are the ones who know their lands and

waters. We have a totally vested interest in ensuring they are protected as we are the ones on the front lines if anything goes wrong, as it did with Mount Polley.

If Minister Bill Bennett and his government genuinely accept the AG’s report and want to respond in a meaningful way, it should immediately begin working with our First Nations to help them build the capacity and gain the training to set up guardian programmes.

Hike for Hunger participants arrive at Sacred Heart Catholic Church to present food to the Saint Vincent de Paul Society’s president Darla Robson (front, fourth from left) last Saturday afternoon.

Hike for Hunger goes to Society of St. Vincent de Paul Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts participated in the fourth annual Hike for Hunger Saturday ending

up at Sacred Heart Catholic Church to donate food to the St. Vincent de Paul Society for its food bank. The Pathfinders departed from Walmart. At the Real Canadian Wholesale

Food Club they were joined by the Guides and Scouts. From there the hikers went to Save-On-Foods where the Cubs and Brownies were waiting and then Beavers joined them at Safe-

way. St. Vincent de Paul Society president Darla Robson gave them a short history of St. Vincent de Paul and then accepted all of their donations of food.

One of the Guiders

said when the group arrived at Save-On Foods, and some of the members were shopping there for donations, the store matched the amount spent and donated as well.

Studio Theatre stages two plays for zone festival Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer

Michael Rawluk photo

The Studio Theatre’s production Death Defying Acts, a long running off Broadway play, features the work of playwrights David Mamet, Elaine May and Woody Allen who wrote three comical skits for the production. In Hotline by Elaine May, a neurotic woman with enough urban angst to fill a neighbourhood calls a suicide crisis hotline late one night. The counsellor who gets the call is overwhelmed. It is his first night on the job. This scenario features Chris Armstrong as Ken; Jay Goddard as Dr. Russell; Laura Masini Pieralli as Marty Laura; Veronica Abel (above) as Dorothy; and Haley Tazelaar as the delivery person. Death Defying Acts is on stage tonight through Saturday night. Tickets are available at About Face Photography, Kit and Kaboodle and The Open Book.

The Williams Lake Studio Theatre is pulling out all of its resources to host the Central Interior Zone Festival this month, including staging two plays in the two weeks leading up to the festival.

Annoyance by Sam Bobrick will join Death Defying Acts as the Studio Theatre’s entries in the festival which will also include a play from Prince George and one by the Maranatha Christian School’s Maranatha Players.

Death Defying Acts opened at the Studio Theatre Wednesday, May 4 and finishes its two-week run May 1114.

Annoyance will be on stage for only two nights May 16 and 17 before the festival begins on May 18.

“As Annoyance is only a two night run tickets will only be available at the theatre concession during Death Defying Acts,” says director Brad Lawryk who is also a festival co-ordinators.

A comedy, Annoyance stars Oren Barter as Ethan, Tanis Daum as Dr. Wells and Colin Sanford as Dr. Gates.

The play involves a very annoying man who manages to drive both of his therapists over the edge.

The therapists decide to take drastic measures to rid the world of this most obnoxious man but of course things don’t go as planned, Lawryk says.

He warns the play contains occasional adult language and content.

The Central Interior Zone Festival takes place at the Studio Theatre Wednesday,

May 18 through Sunday, May 22.

The festival plays will be adjudicated by Sarah Rodgers, a busy director from Vancouver who is currently directing West Side Story for Theatre Under the Stars following her hit production of Hairspray last summer.

The Central Cariboo Zone Drama Festival opens Wednesday, May 18 at 8 p.m. with the Maranatha Players’ production of Snake in the Grass

by Alan Ayckbourn and directed by Becky Strickland.

Death Defying Acts by David Mamet, Elaine May and Woody Allen and directed by Shane Tollefson will be on stage for the festival Thursday, May 19 at 8 p.m.

Annoyance will be on stage for the festival on Friday, May 20, at 8 p.m.

Saturday, May 21 starting at 2 p.m.

Prince George Pocket Theatre presents Vanya and Sonya and Masha and Spike written

by Christopher Durange and directed by Dominic Maguire.

On the morning following each of the festival plays the adjudicator will hold coffee critiques with the cast and crew.

Sunday, May 22 the adjudicator will hold an intensive workshop at the Studio Theatre with the cast and crew of the winning play.

Tanisleigh Evans

Dana Rook

Cheyenne Shoults

My name is Tanisleigh Christine Evans and I am the second sibling of four children. During the past 17 years of my life I have done many different things.

Being from a ranch/rodeo family I started riding before I could walk and have continued participating in local gymkhanas, BC High School Rodeo and even the BC Rodeo Association. I enjoy the many opportunities that I have been able to partake in.

Among my many activities, I competed with the Cariboo Gymnastics Club, was a member of the bowling league with my family, and participated in Williams Lake minor hockey.

When I was in Grade 8, I joined the rugby team and enjoyed the action until an injury prevented my return.

Lastly, my granny lives on the lake so I love all the water sports that I am able to participate in.

I enjoy working but due to developing epilepsy I had to stop.

The first couple of months were very scary and hard to understand.

But with the help of my family and medical system I have a ton of support, and have not had a seizure since the first one.

I am currently finishing my Grade 12 year and after a week of work experience in a physiotherapy environment I realized my goal for the future is to attend UBC to pursue a career in rehabilitation physiotherapy.

With the sudden changes that occurred in my life I have realized to live every day to the fullest.

Born and raised in Williams Lake, my name is Dana Jessica Rook.

I’m the daughter of Andrew Rook and Sharon Haynes and the third youngest sibling to Julie and Brittany Rook.

Currently I am an 18-year-old Grade 12 student at Lake City Secondary School.

I have been a part of the Lake City Secondary girls rugby team for four years, and now I play rugby, and represent LCSS as a senior athlete.

I am equally a part of our local sea cadet corps. I’ve been with the cadet program in Williams Lake for almost six years now.

Being the coxswain of the corps, I am thankful to have had the privilege to compete in sailing, biathlon, marksmanship, drill competitions, and seamanship competitions.

With cadets, I also volunteer numerous amounts of hours for the Royal Canadian Legion every year, including the famous Poppy Drive where the cadets raise money for the veterans of Canada.

In the years 2013-2014 I not only represented Williams Lake and the Rotary District 5040, but I also took on the role of a Canadian ambassador when I travelled and studied abroad in the Czech Republic as an international exchange student.

On my year-long journey I learned a new language, experienced an extremely different culture, and met amazing new people from around the globe.

That Rotary experience has taught me that I can do anything if I set my mind to it.

My name is Cheyenne Shoults.

I am 17 years old and am the oldest of five siblings.

I am currently a Grade 12 student at Lake City Secondary School.

I grew up with strong family values; we learned to work hard and to care for each other.

I have many fond memories with my family riding or just spending time with horses alongside of my papa and aunty.

My family has been an anchor for me throughout my life and I am thankful for their support.

When I was 13 I bought and trained a two-year-old horse who I named Dream.

I have come to love and adore her.

I spend many hours working and riding all of my horses and with my dog.

In the last three years I have started competing in show jumping and barrel racing which has helped me grow as an individual and has given me the drive to succeed.

I enjoy playing guitar.

I love to sing and am an avid reader.

I have found my greatest enjoyment has been working on a ranch and I am so grateful to Diamond 7 Performance Horses for this opportunity, and so pleased to have them as my sponsor.

Working as a ranch hand at Diamond 7 for the past year has given me internal strength, having a sense of direction and self-worth.

My hopes for the future are to work in the animal and agricultural industry.

Ruth Hoehne with a picture received on her cell phone of her family’s good friend Dave Oger fighting the fire in Fort McMurray.

Dave’s story and that of her nephew’s harrowing escape are available on our website and Facebook pages.

Ruth Hoehne hardly slept and was in constant tears last week after her neighbour happened to ask her how her sisters in Fort McMurray were doing.

Until that moment, May 3, she didn’t have a clue that fire was ripping through the community that she called home for 23 years.

She was busy gardening and bird watching, not watching TV. But since that fateful day Ruth has been glued to the TV and her cell phone trying to make sure her family and friends are safe.

Friday evening Ruth was able to confirm that her sisters, brother and their families were safe, but that her nephew, Josh, and his family and another couple close to her family have lost their

homes to the fire.

Ruth and her husband, Randy, are relative newcomers to the lakecity from Fort McMurray where Randy was born and they raised their daughters Samantha and Jessica.

Randy moved to Williams Lake four years ago to work for Gibraltar Mine and Ruth joined him a year later with their daughters.

While Randy doesn’t have any family living in Fort McMurray today, Ruth says at least 60 of her close and extended family members live in and around the city, including two sisters and a brother, and their children and grandchildren.

Many of Ruth’s family members and friends are staying with another sister in Boyle, a small town three hours south of Fort McMurray.

“They just said our

TO OUR CUSTOMERS Paul and Sue Zacharias of United Concrete and Gravel Ltd. would like the community to know, after the fire, all our staff are safe.

We are working quickly with staff and our management team to continue operations.

We thank the Williams Lake Fire Department, and Emergency Services, and the community for the outpouring of concern and kindness.

doors are open and let everyone come in,” Ruth said.

Other family members have made it to Edmonton and as far away as Ottawa and Newfoundland.

She said one sister travelling with her daughter and grandchildren was among the escapees who ran out of gas 50 miles out of Fort McMurray, but fortunately they were able to park the car by the road and climb into her husband’s truck that was following them.

“Please keep our first responders and people of Fort McMurray in your prayers and please donate to the Red Cross,” Ruth said as she shared some of the stories and pictures coming to her cell phone from family and friends about their harrowing escapes.

Ruth said her nephew Tyler Fawcett was interviewed on CBC and by a media outlet in Istanbul, Turkey about the escape he made with his wife Flaxee.

Tyler and Flaxee have been married just over a year, so Ruth said Flaxee took her wedding dress, wedding photos, their dog and some water with her when she left their house to pick up Tyler who was stranded downtown.

Part way there she said Flaxee had to abandon the vehicle, her wedding dress and photos, and run 12 blocks with their dog and some water to meet up with Tyler who had found another ride out with his sister and family.

Ruth was also moved by the story of how her good friends Dave Oger, a fire fighter, and his wife Jennifer, an X-ray technician at the hospital were separated from each other, their children, and their three dogs during the evacuation.

The Fawcett and Oger stories are available on our Tribune/ Weekend Advisor website and Facebook pages.

Health Awareness Nursing instructors key to program’s success Nurses are known for their compassion, wealth of knowledge and ability to think and adapt on their feet. While some of these traits depend on the person, many of them are honed by the most important people students will meet in their education: their nursing instructors.

Nursing is one of the largest faculties on the Thompson Rivers University - Williams Lake Campus with nine instructors in Williams Lake and three instructors in the region. They are responsible for teaching more than 90 nursing and health care students in the Cariboo.

“I love being able to work with our future nurses [and] instill in them a sense of passion for nursing and the desire to be the advocate for their patients and clients,” said Lisa Dyck, a TRU Williams Lake nursing faculty member. “It’s very rewarding to see the excitement and passion of the students as they care for their first patient, to be there when the family members thank them for taking such good care of their loved one and to see the students overcome fears and challenges, not only as a nurse, but

also as an individual.”

Dr. Ray Sanders, executive director of TRU Williams Lake, said TRU’s

nursing and health care assistant faculty members are the key to the programs’ success.

“Without their hard work and dedication, our students would not go on to lead the successful careers they do.”

The nursing and health care programs are some of the most competitive programs offered at a postsecondary level, but the dedication and degree of skill provided by the faculty members give the students an advantage.

The Practical Nursing Program at TRU Williams Lake, for example, is one of a very few in the country that holds a 100 per cent success rate on the licensing exam, said Rhonda McCreight, nursing program coordinator at TRU Williams Lake.

“I love sharing nursing knowledge with students and feel it is ‘giving back’ for the wonderful education I was provided,” said Amber Engel-Handford, an instructor for the Health Care Assistant Program at TRU Clearwater.

“I see it as an honour to pass on knowledge to future nurses. I hope to impart the importance of touching peoples’ lives and making their experience with you as positive and assistive as possible.”

TRU Williams Lake preparing nurses for more than 20 years For as long as any faculty, staff or student at Thompson Rivers University - Williams Lake Campus can remember, there have been nursing students and faculty on campus.

“The first group of Bachelor of Science in Nursing students began studying in 1991 and graduated in 1995,” said Rhonda McCreight, nursing program coordinator at

TRU Williams Lake. “The Practical Nursing Program began in 2008 and the Health Care Assistant Certificate has been on campus since 1997.”

The campus has had a graduating class almost every other year since then.

At next Friday’s Commencement Ceremony, 14 BScN students, 11 practical nursing students and three health care assistant students will be walking across the stage to celebrate their accomplishments.

Another 19 health care assistant students will complete their program in July.

The nursing programs at TRU are some of the most competitive programs offered and applications are received from across the country and even from around the world.

PRO PHYSIOWORKS

The past two years have seen over 20 international students arrive in Williams Lake to study in the Practical Nursing program.

“We are extremely proud of our nursing programs and nursing faculty at TRU Williams Lake,” said Dr. Ray Sanders, executive director at TRU Williams Lake.

“Our first-rate faculty and programs draw students from our own community, as well as from across the country and even internationally. We are proud to offer programs in three careers in the health care field and provide our community members with the opportunity to follow their dreams of helping others.”

There are three nursing and health care programs offered at TRU Williams Lake: years 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, the Practical Nursing

Diploma and the Health Care Assistant Certificate.

All three of these programs have a waitlist every year they are offered.

The majority of students who study and graduate at TRU Williams Lake stay in the community and some even return to the campus as instructors.

Proud to support our hard working nurses.

The body incredible The human body is an incredible piece of “machinery”, capable of so much and able to withstand incredible amounts of abuse.

Despite the abuse we give our bodies, they still function quite admirably well into our sixties, seventies and beyond.

We treat our cars better than we do our bodies.

We use premium gas, oil, grease, flushes, regular tune ups, wash and wax.

Yet when it comes to our bodies, we feed our selves DEAD FOODS (cakes, cookies, chocolates, cheezies, chips and etc.). Foods that deplete us of essential vitamins and minerals, creating illness in the process.

If this isn’t bad enough, we drink copious amounts of coffee, pop, teas, lattes and other drinks that require digestion and further strain our resources and deplete our energy.

It is amazing how many people do not drink water - how many are so dehydrated. Yet water is very essential for life to exist. Water is free yet we choose to spend our monies.

If we stopped eating dead foods and drinking stimulating drinks, we could overcome quite a few of our modern deseases; things such as heart

desease, high blood pressure, ADD, ADHD, diabetes, rashes, constipation, obesity and more.

By keeping our bodies balanced both in the musculatureand the chemical (digestion) we can achieve good heath.

Consuming wholesome foods (grass fed beef, fish, vegetables and fruit), drinking good quality water and excersising we could improve our health considerably and be pain free well into our seventies, eighties and beyond.

Just because you are in your seventies or eighties doesn’t mean that it is too late. It is never to late.

I am doing things now at 64 that I could not do in my twenties; I have lots of energy and only need 5 hours of sleep a night.

For more information on how you can improve your health or to take some of my courses give me a call at my office 250-392-2600.

We also help people with neurological conditions, such as strokes, head injuries, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis or concussions. Physiotherapists will take a detailed history and perform an extensive assessment prior to developing a treatment plan.

Physiotherapists can fit patients with these knee braces.

A common foot condition we treat is plantar fasciitis, which causes pain in the heel or arch of the foot.

Stretching the calf, using ice and wearing supportive footwear can ease the pain.

Physiotherapists can also fit patients with custom made orthotics (insoles for the shoes). Orthotics can be helpful in treating

Patients may receive education on posture, proper body mechanics or perhaps, computer ergonomics, to correct the cause of the problem.

To ease pain, physiotherapists may use heat, ice, acupuncture, massage, manual therapy or electrical modalities such as TENS, ultrasound or interferential. If a knee ligament has been stretched, custom knee braces can be useful to stabilize the knee. This is always done in conjunction with exercise for dynamic support of

Many extended health plans will cover part of the cost of custom orthotics or braces, provided a doctor has prescribed the device.

Vertigo is a condition where a person feels like they are spinning or the world around them is spinning; yet they are stationary. A common cause is crystals in the inner ear canals being dislodged, causing an abnormal signal sent to the brain. This can be treated with physiotherapy and can often be cleared with one or two treatments.

At Pro Physioworks Clinic, we also do standardized baseline testing for concussions.

Athletes involved in contact sports can have baseline testing done. If they subsequently sustain a concussion, they can be objectively re- ‐measured to assess whether they are safe to return to sports, school or work. The post- ‐ injury measurements also help determine what areas need to be addressed, such as

memory, balance, gaze stabilization, neck mobilization or education regarding pacing activity.

It is not only athletes who sustain concussions. We also test and treat concussions sustained in falls or car accidents, for example.

Physiotherapy is a self-‐regulated profession.

As university graduates, physiotherapists continue to upgrade their skills and knowledge with ongoing continuing education courses throughout their career.

There is a growing demand for physiotherapy as the public recognizes it can improve their quality of life.

Physiotherapists work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, private clinics, home care, extended care facilities, schools and child development centers.

Let’s talk!

The Mayor and Council of Williams Lake have once again proclaimed May as “Hospice Palliative Care Awareness Month”. It is the mission of the Williams Lake Hospice Society (WLHS) to improve the quality of life of those individuals and their families facing lifelimiting illness, death or bereavement; through skilled and compassionate support, education and advocacy.

What is Hospice Palliative Care (HPC)?

Hospice palliative care is a holistic approach to care that supports patients and their families dealing with physical, psychological, social and spiritual issues throughout their end-oflife journey. When cure is no longer an option, the focus becomes improved quality of life and

dying with dignity. Hospice doesn’t hasten or postpone the inevitable … it is simply about making the journey easier and the road less lonely. HPC also includes caregiver support as well as bereavement support for loved ones.

Williams Lake Hospice Society Services WLHS is a volunteer-based non profit Society.

We provide trained volunteers who offer social, emotional and spiritual support to clients and their families. We also provide education, advocacy and community awareness in palliative care and grief. WLHS maintains two palliative care suites and a furnished family room at Deni House. We supply anticipatory grief information packages to our clients and their families, in addition to grief support when requested. We offer comfort items such as sheepskins and other equipment upon request. Our resource library is available to everyone; clients, families and the general public. We have a variety of resources regarding death and dying, grief and general information about hospice palliative care and are continually updating our library with new material.

National Hospice Palliative Care Week … “HPC First!”

This year’s national campaign is “Let’s Talk About Hospice Palliative Care First”. There are many ways to start the conversation about end-of-life care. Increased awareness and talking about the vital need for hospice services are two great ways to advocate for change, ensuring every Canadian has access to quality hospice palliative care. Anyone and everyone can be a Hospice Palliative Care advocate!

At end of life, many individuals find themselves asking questions such as “What help is available to me”? “What decisions do I have to make”? “What will I want/need at the end of my life”? At this difficult time, many people are unsure of what to expect.

The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) believes it is time to focus on the right for all Canadians to have equal access to high-quality hospice palliative care at end of life.

We need to start conversations around death and dying … let’s talk about Advanced Care Planning, the role of hospice and educate

ourselves about the services hospice can provide throughout the end-of-life journey.

Did you Know?

• Approximately 35% of Canadians who die currently have access to or receive hospice palliative and end of life care services, regardless of where they live in Canada. Even fewer receive grief and bereavement services.

• Most people have indicated they would prefer to die at home in the presence of loved ones, yet almost 70% of Canadian deaths still occur in hospitals.

Demand for Hospice Palliative Care in Canada • Seniors make up the fastest-growing age group. It is estimated that seniors could account for between 23% and 25% of the total population by 2036, nearly double the 13.9% in 2009.

• Hospital-based palliative care reduces the cost of end of life care by 50% or more, by reducing the number of ICU admissions, diagnostic testing, interventional procedures and the overall length of stay in the hospital.

However, residential Hospice palliative are programs are still at least 50% funded by charitable donations and families must bear part of the cost of dying at home, or almost anywhere outside a hospital.

Get loud for mental health - May 2 to 8, 2016 MAY IS HOSPICE MONTH IN WILLIAMS LAKE Please donate your bottle proceeds to Williams Lake Hospice Society at the Williams Lake Depot.

Thank you so much for your support!!

WLHS Staff, Board and Volunteers.

We all have mental health and we all want to be happy and healthy. Mental health is unique to each individual and involves feelings, thoughts and actions. It’s important that we pay attention to those around us, as well as to our own mental health. We often suffer quietly, even silently.

The theme for 2016 Mental Health Awareness week is #GETLOUDFORMENTALHEALTH. Getting loud means speaking up to stop the discrimination and the stigma that often go hand in hand with mental illness. It means using your voice to raise awareness and build support; for someone at home, for someone at work or for yourself. Some ways that we can GET LOUD are: GET LOUD to speak up – for your own mental health. Talk to someone you feel safe with. Talking about it can end the silence and the shame imposed by others and the shame that we sometimes impose on ourselves.

GET LOUD to be that friend who opens up the conversation by asking “How are you, really?” Offer to listen without judgment, and to do what you can to help.

GET LOUD to get help –talk with your family Doctor, Mental Health and Substance Use or Canadian Mental Health support-

ive counselling services. Let them know you need support and if you’re in crisis, please go to the hospital or call 911.

GET LOUD and wear green! In the 1800s green ribbons were used to label people “insane.” Let’s turn that on its head by wearing green during Mental Health Week. Show your support: wear green loud and proud!

GET LOUD and volunteer for the Crisis Line. We will be offering the Crisis Line training at the end of May provided we have enough interest. If you are interested in offering emotional support to those who are struggling to cope, please call Canadian Mental Health Association – Cariboo Chilcotin Branch at 250-398-8220 for more information. Let’s join our voices together and GET LOUD FOR MENTAL HEALTH. The more voices, the more powerful the message!

Resources that can be helpful are heretohelp.bc.ca and the Interior Crisis Line – 1-888-353-2273 (locally in the evenings - 250-398-8224).

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Team BC, along with Williams Lake’s Cory Loring, Chase Dubois and Daine Dubois, blanked Team North, 3-0, to bring home gold Saturday from the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships.

Goaltender Tamara William and Ruthie Jackson, also of Williams Lake, meanwhile, helped the Team BC girls to a fourth-place finish.

The tournament, held May 2-7 in Mississauga, Ont. at the Iceland Sport Complex, featured 400 athletes spread across eight teams.

The BC boys went unbeaten in the tournament after coming in seeded third, downing Atlantic 9-1, Alberta 2-1, North 6-2, Sakatchewan 6-2 and Manitoba 3-2 in overtime in the semifinal.

Chase, who had not played since Jan. 9 after breaking his fibia while playing last season for the Cariboo Cougars of the BC Major Midget Hockey League, said it was odd to step back on the ice.

“I hadn’t been in a game situation for a few months and to come back at nationals, it took a few games to get my timing and skating back. [But] it meant a lot to win gold in my final year because being a national champion doesn’t happen to many people.”

Chase’s younger brother Daine, who played alongside Chase last season with the Cougars, added it was a great experience to play at nationals and even more special to win.

“I’m looking forward to trying out for Team BC again and playing to defend our championship gold,” Daine said.

Both agreed the semifinal against Manitoba was the most intense game of the tournament.

Loring, a Williams Lake Midget Timberwolves player last year, echoed Daine’s comments and said he’s looking toward next

“I’m looking forward to next year to try to go back to back in Penticton,” he said.

“It was a really fun experience playing against players from different provinces. It makes it even sweeter to win gold. It was just a fun time on and off the ice the whole time we were there.”

On the girls’ side BC opened its tournament with a 1-0 loss versus Ontario, then lost a hard-fought battle with Manitoba, 3-0, before picking up steam and beating North (5-2)

and Alberta (5-3).

They then dropped a heartbreaker to Saskatchewan, 2-0, before being eliminated from the tournament in the bronze-medal game against Manitoba in overtime, 2-1.

William played last season with the Northern Capitals of the BC Female Major Midget League, while Jackson suited up in her hometown for the Williams Lake Female Midget Timberwolves.

“I was expecting good competition and I thought [we] had a good chance and we were aiming to place first,” Jackson said.

“Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

“I was very proud to be selected to represent BC and even though we placed fourth I’m proud of all the girls.

The most difficult part emotionally wasn’t losing, but leaving behind the people I had grown so close to.”

A highlight for all the players was spending time in Toronto for the opening ceremonies at the Hockey Hall of Fame, then attending a Toronto Blue Jays game and visiting Jurassic Park for the Toronto Raptors’ game seven win over the Indiana Pacers.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the event attracted 50 kids making up eight teams.

“We’ve been serving hot dogs, we have prizes, it’s been very successful,” Byron said as another game got underway with Alexis Creek RCMP Sgt.

Don Racette leading the yellow team and First Nations policing Const. Colby Hendrickson captaining the pink team.

In addition to RCMP officers who participated, Canoe Creek/Dog Creek Chief Patrick Harry played goal for one of the teams as did Mike Archie, an Aboriginal youth support worker from Changing Directions.

Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club harm reduction worker Jordan Davis said a consent and sexual assault presentation for 220 students at Lake City Secondary School held Thursday was also very successful.

“I talked about the root cause of sexual assault being a gender issue,” Davis said.

“What women and men are taught about gender really contributes to the behaviours that go along with sexual assault.”

Byron and Hendrickson talked about the legalities of sexual assault, the ramifications, and how seriously it’s taken, Davis said.

As the students came through the line to grab a taco wrap after the presentation, many of them asked questions and talked one on one.

“That’s a big part of the work — the relationship building,” Davis added.

MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT Obituaries

Calabrese, Innocenzo 1927-2016 Innocenzo, or Enzo or Inno as he was known to family and friends, was born in Grassano, Italy on April 23, 1927. He grew up during depressed economic times and under difficult circumstances in the farmlands of southern Italy. He lost his mother at the age of five, and with his father working abroad in Africa, was left to be raised by his grandmother. He had to quit school and work on a farm at the age of eight to make ends meet. He was in the Italian military for 18 months just after World War II. He then spent five years in Belgium working in underground coal mines. He immigrated to Canada in the spring of 1957 in search of a better life, but before he left he was introduced to Adriana Destefano and the two began their courtship. Inno ended up in Wells, BC, working at the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine. He and Adriana wrote letters back and forth for over a year. She came over on October 25, 1958 to join him in Wells, after a “marriage by proxy,” on April 12, 1958. Their four daughters were born in Wells, and after they moved to Williams Lake in 1965, they had their two boys. Inno worked briefly at the Hendrix Lake mine and the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. He then got a job with West Fraser in 1966, which at the time was right across the street from the family home on what was known as Glendale Drive (now Mackenzie Avenue). Inno was known for his hard work, strength, honesty, humour, and good nature at West Fraser and worked there until he retired at the age of 65 in 1991. Inno loved fishing and hunting, and his passion for gardening was obvious when you saw his yard. He took great pleasure in hosting family and friends for meals at the house where he provided homemade wine and vegetables from the garden, while Adriana cooked up the fabulous Italian meals.

Innocenzo is lovingly remembered by his wife of 58 years, Adriana; his children Maria (Peter), Gina (Mark), Linda (Peter), Gabriella (James), and Mauro (Kendra); his grandchildren Aaron (Jessica), Nico, Aiden, Keira, Massimo, Luca, Alessandro, and Matteo; his sister, Anna, of Prato, Italy; and his step-grandchildren, Brittany, Craig (Courtney), and Bryan (Adrienne). Inno was predeceased by his son Nino, his brothers Francesco and Nicola, and his parents Giuseppe Calabrese and Maria Luberto.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Hicks, Dr. Longland, the staff at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Deni House, and the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy team.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust or the Nino Calabrese Memorial Bursary (through PMT Accounting).

The funeral mass will be at 2:00 pm, Saturday May 14 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church with a reception to follow at 3:30 in the Gibraltar Room.
