WHEELIN’ WARRIOR FIGHTING CANCER

City rejects request for text messages

Lyle Dickieson has made healthy choices throughout his life and that’s taken his body above and beyond the limits of what most people would consider possible for themselves.

An attempt by The Citizen to obtain text and instant messages between Mayor Lyn Hall and downtown parkade developer A &T Project Developments regarding cost overruns on the project has hit a brick wall.

TED CLARKE

For years, Dickieson excelled as a competitive whitewater paddler and when the rivers froze over, he made the switch to long track speed skating to enter marathon events, racing laps around lakes on courses 100 kilometres long. They were challenges that emptied his reserves of strength and endurance but he had the mental toughness needed and until he crossed the finish line he always remained in control of his own fate.

He can’t say the same about his race against cancer.

First diagnosed in 2015, Dickieson had surgery four years later to remove his prostate gland, an invasive procedure he thought was going to provide a permanent solution. His prognosis changed when his PSA levels started to climb again in February 2020 and that’s continued with each blood test.

This summer, the 65-year-old Dickieson is facing radiation treatments and hormone deprivation therapy to try to stop it.

Lyle Dickieson joined the Wheelin’ Warriors cycling team last year after his prostate surgery. The 65-year-old Prince George man continues his own fight with cancer and is gathering sponsors for the B.C. Cancer Foundation’s Tour de Cure virtual ride on Aug. 28.

Emails obtained earlier by The Citizen earlier this year through a freedom of information request imply A & T partner Frank Quinn reached out to Hall by text message sometime between July 6 and July 9, 2018 – just days after A & T provided an update for the project, showing the parkade would be more than $7 million over budget.

In a press conference on Jan. 25 of this year, Hall said other than one initial email to him on July 4, 2018, he had no further updates on the cost overruns on the parkade until a report came before council on Dec. 7, 2020.

On April 1, the Citizen filed a freedom of information request with the city, asking for copies of the text and/or instant messages between Hall, Quinn, A & T president Jeff Arnold, former city manager Kathleen Soltis and then-city general manager of planning and development Ian Wells from July 2018.

The request included any messages on Hall’s personal and city cell phones that met the criteria.

Governments required to keep records from page 1

“We were advised by Mayor Hall that (his city phone number) is the only cellular telephone number that he has used to conduct City business.

He also advised us that he conducted a search of this City-issued phone and he confirms he does not have any records responsive to your request. He confirmed that this search includes other forms of instant messaging (including Whats App),” city information coordinator Joan Switzer wrote in a response to the Citizen’s request.

“We were advised by Ian Wells that he conducted a search of his City-issued cellular phone and he confirms he does not have any records responsive to your request. As with the Mayor, Ian Wells confirmed that his search included other forms of instant messaging (including Whats App).”

In her letter, Switzer said Soltis’ phone is no longer accessible to the city to conduct a search.

“Ms. Soltis is no longer employed by the City and, consistent with City policies, assumed ownership of that phone upon leaving the City’s employment. We are therefore not able to determine if it contains any responsive records,” Switzer wrote.

“In addition, because the City cellular phone issued to Kathleen Soltisis not in the City’s custody or control, we contacted the City’s cellular service provider and we were advised that ‘TELUS does not collect or store the content of text or multi-media messages as there is no business need to do so.’”

A spokesperson for the Office of the Information and Privacy Officer for B.C. declined to comment on the specific case, but provided information regarding local governments’ obligations under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).

“Where public officials use text messaging as part of their business operations, the contents of the text messages are records of the public body (even if the official is using their personal device), and subject to FIPPA. It is important to note that it is the substance of the communication, and not the mode of communication, that matters,” the spokesperson said in an email. “Any destruction that takes place after a request for those records can be investigated by this office to determine whether that action violated a public body’s duties to respond ‘openly, accurately and completely’ to a request for access.”

While FIPPA does offer direction regarding record retention, it is up to local governments to set their own rules and policies around record management, the spokesperson said.

The provincial legislation is “very limited when it comes to prescribing standards or requirements” for local government bodies. “(But) under FIPPA, public bodes are required to conduct an ‘adequate search’ for records, and may be required to demonstrate that its search efforts have been thorough and comprehensive, and that it has explored all reasonable avenues to locate records,” the spokesperson said.

“FIPPA applies to all records in the custody or control of a public body, meaning public bodies are responsible for records created for the public body even if the records are not physically held by the public body,” the spokesperson added.

“However, several factors can be used to determine if a public body has ‘control’ over certain records, so some analysis is often involved to make this determination. Depending on the factors in each case, it is possible that records on a personal device could be responsive to a (Freedom of Information) request.”

At the provincial level, all B.C. government officials and employees are required to follow the Information Management Act. While local governments aren’t subject to the act, it sets out requirements and best practices for B.C. government officials regarding record keeping, including when to keep records of text and instant messages.

“Government bodies need to create and keep complete and accurate records sufficient to document their decision-making and work activities.

This applies to all types of government records, including documents in all formats and workspaces that provide the best evidence of government business activities, transactions, policy or decisions,” a guide published for B.C. government employees about the act says. “In general, text messages and other instant messaging applications should not be used to carry out important discussions where key decisions are to be made.”

‘Too many guys suffer in silence’ leading the group’s fundraising efforts.

“I wanted to join them earlier but it just didn’t feel right until I knew more about my own situation,” said Dickieson.

He knows he’s not alone in that fight. In fact, he’s got a “Once I had my surgery and thought I was clear, that’s team behind him to help him through his darkest days.

He’s joined the Wheelin’ Warriors of the North and is when I joined.”

INDIGENOUS CLINIC PROVIDED VACCINATIONS HANNA PETERSEN

The Urban and Away from Home Indigenous Vaccination Clinic popup clinic at the House of Ancestors wrapped up after vaccinating more than 1,000 people.

The clinic, which opened on May 11 and ran on select days until May 19, intended to provide a culturally safe and low-barrier space for urban Indigenous peoples living in Prince George to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

In total, 1,092 people were vaccinated at the clinic and 243 of those were walk-in appointments.

“We turned no one away. We wanted to remove as many barriers as we could for the vaccination process,” says Julie Morrison, acting executive director of First Nations Health Authority (FNHA).

“It worked really well everyone was really happy each day,” says Morrison.

“We had drumming and smudging of the vaccine every morning and we had music playing and we tried to make it as warm and inviting as we could.”

She says having the clinic at the House of Ancestors was beneficial because it was a familiar space for many people.

“One fellow said he felt more comfortable because he was coming somewhere he was familiar with,” says Morrison.

“Someone said else they wouldn’t have had the vaccine if it wasn’t for the clinic.

They came and saw how it was unfolding and felt very comfortable there so they decided to get vaccinated.”

The clinic was hosted through a partnership that included FNHA, Northern Health, Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, Central Interior Native Health, the Prince George Native Friendship Centre and Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS).

Travis Holyk, executive director of health services for CSFS, said the clinic was a success in part because of the teamwork.

“It really allowed the various organizations to work together under one roof directly so I think that really built relationships as well.”

Holyk said the pop-up clinic was also able to take some of the load off of vaccinations at the Civic Centre by filling appointments where there were gaps and increasing the overall number of vaccinations in Prince George.

He also noted the importance of having a culturally safe and low barrier option in the community. Holyk said one example of this was that the clinic allowed people to come in family groups to offer support to each other.

“This also assisted with things like language barriers so when elders whose first

language wasn’t English came in it allowed a family member to be with them.”

He said this also helped lessen vaccine anxiety and they even saw examples of mothers supporting their adult children through the process.

“We heard a lot of people say, I wouldn’t have come without a relative being with me,” said Holyk.

“In terms of vaccine hesitancy, it isn’t necessarily that people are against vaccines, so providing encouragement, and support in those situations, where people have fear of needles, it allowed them to come in and be vaccinated.”

Morrison noted FNHA is considering hosting a similar clinic in Prince George for second doses, but first, they are working to provide second doses to Indigenous communities in the northern half of the province.

Protesters show solidarity for forestry blockade TED CLARKE

Floyd Crowley doesn’t have to look far to see the scars.

Where there used to be big trees casting long shadows in coniferous forests less than a kilometre from his home on Adams Road in Summit Lake, only stumps remain.

“They’re just whacking them down, it’s death and destruction, this industrial logging for at least 100 years,” said Crow-

ley, who made the hour-long drive to the Prince George courthouse Saturday to attend a protest in support of the Fairy Creek blockade on Vancouver Island, which for weeks has put people in front of bulldozers as they try to protect a stand of old-growth forest northwest of Port Renfrew.

Crowley said the village of Summit Lake still has about 250 large fir trees and residents attached bags of fir beetle repellent

to try to protect them from beetles right next to where recent logging activity has cut huge swaths of forest to make way for the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline from Dawson Creek to Kitimat.

“We’re destroying a billion dollar ecosystem so the corporations can make millions and the guys who are paying for it, the provincial treasury, it’s only getting thousands, and the people at Fairly Creek

are getting $2,000 fines,” said the 83-yearold Crowley.

Conservation North, the Prince Georgebased organizer of the rally, has posted on its website an interactive map produced by independent forestry experts Rachel Holt, Karen Price and Dave Daoust, which identifies the areas of primary forest in the province where they recommend commercial logging should be deferred.

CROWD SUPPORTS PALESTINIANS HANNA PETERSEN

A crowd of about a hundred people attended a gathering last Wednesday to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the recent conflict in Israel.

“It was so important for us to organize this event today to stand in solidarity with Palestinians,” says Lila Mansour, one of the organizers of the event. “We have to stand up against injustices, discrimination, expulsions that Palestinians are facing on their homelands.”

She says raising awareness about the conflict is important because those living in Prince George are also global citizens.

“We are not living in a vacuum here in Prince George. We have to understand

what is going on around us whether it is in the Middle East, South America , Europe, Canada or here at home.”

After a few brief speeches, those in attendance stood on Ospika Boulevard to wave Palestinian flags and signs and passing traffic.

Organizers for the gathering stated outright that violence, hate speech, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, or hate comments made regarding Palestinian or Israeli civilians would not be tolerated.

“You don’t have to be an Arab, a Middle Eastern person or a Muslim to stand in solidarity with Palestinians or what is happening,” added Mansour. “You just have to be a human being who cares.”

Property Use Agreement for the: Hixon Recreational Property

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George intends to enter into a property use agreement for the use of a Regional District property for a 5-year term with: Hixon Community Association for the Hixon Recreational Property legally described as Lot 2, District Lot 8543, Cariboo District Plan PGP43101 and improvements located on the subject property for community recreational purposes.

LEADERSHIP HOPEFUL TARGETS YOUNG VOTERS

MARK NIELSEN Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

B.C. Liberal leadership hopeful Gavin Dew says the party needs to look to the future, not the past, and at 37 years old, he believes he’s the one who can turn that ship in the right direction.

“We need to build a bridge to the next generation of voters, who we have lost,” Dew said in an interview and went on to note that there is only one MLA under 45 years old in the B.C. Liberal caucus.

“If you’re a young, multicultural working professional, which is a huge portion of the electorate in all the places that we need to win back, you don’t see yourself reflected in our party,” Dew said.

“We need to change that by being more reflective of today’s British Columbia.

We don’t achieve that through quotas or

through tokenism. The reality is there are lots of great people who are our voters, who are B.C. Liberals, who are younger and more diverse, and we need to bring those people into our tent.

“We haven’t done that and I think the fundamental question is how do we do that and I believe the answer is we have to look to the future, not the past. We can’t just run around taking about how bad the ‘90s were.”

Dew, who announced his candidacy in March, is known within party circles.

He ran for the party in a 2016 byelection, losing to Melanie Mark in the NDPstronghold of Vancouver-Mount Pleasant. He also worked on campaigns of Kevin Falcon in 2011 and Michael Lee in 2018.

The parents of two young children, Dew and his wife run a childcare centre in East Vancouver.

Ross emphasizes team approach For a province as large and as diverse as B.C., Ellis Ross says a team-oriented approach is the only way to go.

The MLA for Skeenawas the first to announce a candidacy for leader of the B.C. Liberals. He says he wants to take the lessons he learned from his time as chief of the HaislaNation and the time he’s been in provincial politics and apply them to governing the province.

“My style of leadership is not entirely ‘leader-centric,’” Ross said. “My style of leadership is basically to form a team...

and that means going to the 87 ridings in B.C., talking to each of the riding associations, who know their ridings by the way, and just say ‘OK, what is it, in your riding, that’s going to make your riding successful, and in turn make B.C. successful.”

Ross said the approach is one of the reasons he’s been able to swing the deals that have brought benefits to his region.

“I do like diverse conversations and debates, differences of opinion. That’s where I came from and I don’t see any need to change that style.

Falcon speaks out on homelessness The apparent frontrunner in the race to become the next leader of the B.C. Liberals is accusing the governing New Democrats of falling short on confronting the opioid crisis and homelessness in the province.

“We have to acknowledge that everything we’re doing right now is not working because the results are just getting worse and worse and worse,” Kevin Falcon said in an interview with the Citizen this week.

Falcon announced his candidacy for the party’s top spot this week. Skeena MLA Ellis Ross and Gavin Dew, who ran and lost to Melanie Mark in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant in a 2016 byelection, are also in the running and Vancouver-Langara MLA

Michael Lee has said on social media that he’s “ready to run.”

Roughly 1,700 people died from opioid overdoses last year, Falcon said, “more than we’ve lost through COVID.” “Virtually nothing is being done by the current government except that they’ll say ‘we’re spending more money and we’re studying things more,’ but we’re getting worse outcomes in every community across the province,” he continued.

“Homelessness is worse, streets are less safe, mental health and addiction is worse, and yet their answer is to keep doing more of the same.”

Falcon, who played a key role in establishing the Baldy Hughes residential treatment centre southwest of Prince George, said his response would be “completely different” if he became the next premier of the province.

He outlined a plan of assertive action that would start with getting people with mental health and addiction issues off the streets.

Party members will select their new leader on Feb. 5, 2022.

HOMELESS SUGGEST ALTERNATIVES

CHRISTINE DALGLEISH “We’re not going anywhere,” said Dallas Calliou, 24, a man who has been living on the streets of downtown Prince George for the last five years.

Calliou and four others were gathered together early Thursday morning at the front of the empty lot on George Street across from the courthouse to warm up in the sunshine at their camp.

Calliou is proud to say he’s got the biggest tent around and even built an inukshuk at its door to let people know he’s there.

It won’t last long though.

Jimmy Santos, 54, said they’ve got 24 hours and then city bylaw officers will force them to move - again.

Right around the corner on Third Avenue is the Fire Pit, a Positive Living North drop-in centre, where more people who use cardboard and blankets to protect themselves from the elements gather to spend the night.

Things have got to change, Santos said.

Tent cities and tiny homes were mentioned as solutions but some people’s dreams aren’t so grandiose.

“Laundry and bathrooms with showers,” is on 30-year-old Jacqueline John’s wish list. She’s been homeless for the last two years.

Storage is also an issue. There are small storage lockers available but they don’t hold a lot of stuff.

Jacqueline John, left, Dallas Calliou, sitting, and Jimmy Santos, standing, were at the empty lot across from the courthouse on George Street Thursday morning where there are plans for a community garden.

“And some of us have got a lot of stuff,” John said. “It would be nice to hang onto it.”

As for essentials, there are plenty of

places to get food in the downtown core, John added.

St. Vincent de Paul Society offers three meals a day and an afternoon snack, along

with the Fire Pit that provides homecooked meals, she said.

Calliou discovered the empty city lot behind The Citizen at the end of Fourth Avenue and thought that would be the best location for a tent city right now.

He suggested for the future a combination of tents and tiny homes in that location because some people don’t want the responsibility of any type of home.

“That’s my idea,” Calliou said.

Is it too far from downtown services?

“No,” came the chorus from Calliou, Santos and John.

“It’s only three blocks away,” Santos said.

“And we’ve got resources for food and we’ve got resources to resources.”

He talked about AWAC and the Central Interior Native Health Society Clinic that helps point people in the right direction to access the resources they need.

“It would be better if we were over there,” Calliou said.

“We’d be tucked away nicely,” Santos said, who has been homeless for four years.

Santos sees the big picture benefits of having a permanent home.

“The tiny homes don’t cost a lot and once you have a stable home, you could access skills training and get a life,” he said. “We want to help ourselves, right?

The world ain’t gettin’ any smaller and we’re not going to be here in any less numbers.”

Decrease in suicides seen across region

Editor’s note:This story contains discussion of suicide. If you are contemplating suicide, or worried about a friend or loved one, call the Canada Suicide Prevention Service hotline at 1-833-456-4566 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

The Northern Health region saw a 25 per cent decrease in suicides during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to preliminary data released by the B.C. Coroners Service.

From April 1, 2020, to Feb. 28, 2021, there

were 41 suicides in the Northern Health region. During the same period from April 2019 to February 2020, there were 55 suicides in the region.

However, the Coroners Service cautioned the data is still preliminary.

“While this data is usually not released until data has had time to settle, preliminary statistics are being made available due to public interest,” the Coroners Service report says. “Data and trends for 2020 and 2021 should be interpreted with caution as the data require time to settle; cases that are currently classified as undetermined may be updated and those

classified as suicide may also change as the coroner’s investigation concludes.”

Four of the province’s five health authority regions saw a decrease in suicides over the pandemic time period, with Vancouver Coastal being the only area to see an increase.

The province saw a total of 534 suicide deaths during the pandemic timeframe, a 12 per cent decrease from the same period in 2019-2020.

Provincially, the highest rate of suicide during the pandemic was among people 50 to 59, followed closely by those aged 19 to 29. The two age groups accounted for

more than 38 per cent of all suicides.

The lowest rate of suicide was reported in youth, aged 10 to 18, who accounted for less than four per cent of all suicide deaths.

A breakdown by gender wasn’t provided, but B.C. Coroners Service data from 2008 to 2018 shows men are roughly three times as likely to commit suicide as women.

Overall, in 2020 there were 45 suicide deaths reported in the Northern Health region, down from 66 reported in 2019, the B.C. Coroners Service reported. Up until the end of February, 11 suicides had been reported in the north so far in 2021.

RCMP arrest driver of stolen vehicle Around 2:30 p.m. on May 18, Prince George RCMP received multiple 911 calls from concerned motorists about a Dodge Dakota and several people noted it was a female driver. The first witness saw the vehicle on Queensway and followed it onto First Avenue where he stated to dispatchers that it almost hit several vehicles before turning onto Carney Street.

A second witness then called 911 to report she was behind the vehicle on Carney Street and observed it swerving all over the road with irregular speeds.

The vehicle continued onto Range Road where it collided with a parked vehicle. A witness then contacted police to state he

saw the collision and obtained photos of the incident. A fourth witness called 911 to report she was driving on Range Road when the vehicle entered the oncoming lane and she had to swerve to avoid a collision. The vehicle continued on to Highway 16 West near Cowart Road where it cut off a chip truck and was not able to stay in its own lane.

Police were successful in stopping the truck by using their vehicles to block it in on Highway 16 near Highway 97.

Mounties arrested the driver, a 28-yearold resident of Prince George who they say is known to police. Police also discovered the driver had stolen the vehicle earlier that day.

Homeless solutions offered during protest CHRISTINE DALGLEISH

About 100 people came together Friday afternoon at the empty lot across from the courthouse on George Street to protest how the homeless in Prince George are treated.

Cathy Hutchison, a local registered nurse, put out the call through the Facebook group Together We Stand for a show of solidarity to put pressure on the city to come up with a solution quickly.

She said she doesn’t want the city to wait for the low income housing to be put in place in the years to come. She wants action now.

“We need a place for our downtown friends to lay their heads,” Hutchison said.

“Is that too much to ask?”

“No!” the crowd answered.

“We want to acknowledge to the city and the mayor that we are a community - and people care,” Hutchison said.

The protest opened with some drumming led by Wesley Mitchell in the song that honours his ancestors called Honouring the Day. Several people representing different organizations like Carrier Sekani Family Services spoke during the protest while other concerned citizens voiced their opinions like John Greco, who thought putting in a fully equipped tent city on the back lot on Lower Patricia Boulevard, behind the Citizen office, would be ideal.

By the enthusiastic cheering of the crowd, many were in agreement.

Driver wins ticket appeal MARK NIELSEN Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

A B.C. Supreme Court Justice has ruled in favour of a Prince George woman who appealed a conviction for distracted driving on the basis that she was using a two-way radio for work.

In a decision issued May 13, Justice Terence Shultes agreed with Tania Louisa Shelford that the devices are allowed for use by industry while driving.

Shelford had been driving a company van on July 2019 when an RCMP officer pulled her over and issued a her ticket after noticing her looking down at what appeared to be a phone in the centre console area.

Shelford fought the ticket but a lower court justice found that she was in the wrong.

From there, she took the matter to the B.C. Supreme Court where, during a trial in November 2020, she provided a circular from the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that shows two-way radios as a permitted use.

In upholding the fine, the lower court justice made the determination on the basis that the microphone was not securely fixed to the vehicle.

However, Schultes found that in doing so, the lower court justice had overlooked a requirement in the regulation governing the use of electronic devices.

It states that while driving, hand microphones must be “both receiver and

microphone.”

“In the case of mounted two-way radios, the hand unit is just the microphone for the user and the receiver is the mounted radio unit to which (it) is connected,” Justice Schultes wrote in the decision.

“Despite the fact that this microphone could be removed from its holder Ms. Shelford explained in cross-examination that ‘[t]he radio [that is, the part that functions to receive and broadcast signals] was permanently attached.’”

As such, Schultes found the regulation agrees with Shelford’s interpretation of the circular.

During the trial before Schultes, Shelford testified that when she uses the radio’s microphone, she holds it low and may have glanced at it while passing the RCMP officer.

Shelford also told the court she had used that van for two years and “instinctively” knew where the microphone was located.

Crown counsel had sought to uphold the conviction.

Crown pointed to a previous case in which a driver was fined for using a cellphone that, despite its charging cord being plugged in, the judge had found was not to have been securely fixed to the vehicle.

In response, Shelford argued that was a moot point because the device she was using does not meet the definition for hand microphones.

happen to improve their lives.

April talked about wishing there was a tent city that offered facilities like bathrooms, showers and had electricity and suggested the end of Fifth Avenue as a location while Jessie was looking for easier access to medical care and more support to get on the road to access affordable housing for her and her two sons.

Colleen Tuson-Tyacke was one of the people joining the protest. She runs a therapeutic home for children.

“A lot of the children end up in our resources because they are traumatized by the experience of their parents and I know that some of them who we haven’t been able to help through everything have ended up on the street,” Tuson-Tyacke said.

“So there’s a personal relationship and there’s also just caring for people and just having compassion. I have no problem with the city telling them to get out but there’s no plan. The city is creating the chaos and it’s just sad. They are my fellow citizens. They deserve the same considerations I do.”

Throughout the protest, Tuson-Tyacke often got emotional.

“I get emotional because I don’t understand what’s happened to other people where their hearts have become so hardened they can’t feel compassion for these people,” she said.

HOT SUMMER AHEAD FOR B.C. FORESTS

T

he May long weekend is the annual start of summer in B.C.

So it’s no surprise that the first arrests have already been made in what looks like might be a long, scorching summer of blockades and protests over oldgrowth logging. RCMP have made numerous arrests in the Fairy Creek watershed on southern Vancouver Island.

A handful of arrests don’t necessarily make a movement but the issue of oldgrowth logging has been simmering for more than a year, ever since the John Horgan government received the 2020 Old Growth Strategic Review. That review called for the halt of logging in several key areas, including Fairy Creek, but only one of those nine locations was north of Williams Lake – the 41,000 hectare Seven Sisters area near Smithers.

Conservation North, a regional environ-

mental group, is also seeking protection for the Anzac River valley north of Prince George and cedar-hemlock forests along the Upper Fraser River.

The group staged rallies in Prince George last September and again in March and this past weekend to raise awareness.

Last December, the Forest Practices Board found biodiversity may be at risk in the Prince George Timber Supply Area and called for detailed maps of old-growth.

Horgan did commit to implementing the report’s recommendations during last fall’s provincial election campaign. While 353,000 hectares of forest was deferred for logging by the NDP government, critics pointed some of those areas were already protected and a substantial portion was actually second-growth.

A new report issued this week by a group of independent scientists points to

about 1.3 million hectares of at-risk forest, which works out to about 2.6 per cent of the provincial timber supply.

“We waited for the government to map what the panel recommended and there’s been no action — so we decided to just do it,” forest ecologist Rachel Holt and one of the report’s authors said to The Narwhal.

Holt and the other authors of the report aren’t asking for all of that 1.3 million hectares to be put aside.

“Following the old-growth strategic review panel’s direction, [the province] should take that map and overlay it with planned cut blocks and defer harvest in those areas until the planning is done,” Holt said.

But the province isn’t acting fast enough.

“There isn’t time to talk and log and try to create perfect maps,” she said. “Nothing is perfect, but we need to move forward.”

As the arrests on Vancouver Island show, however, a growing number of people are tired of waiting and are willing to block forest service roads to make their point and force the government into action.

Three decades ago, the Clayoquot Sound logging protests started this way. By 1993, it had evolved into a huge protest, one of the largest in Canadian history, and was attracting international media attention.

If the current efforts catch on and spread across the province, particularly into areas where major urban media outlets can easily access the sites and the protesters, casting far more public attention on the issue, the Second War of the Woods could be upon us.

Unless the NDP move quickly to protect old-growth forests, there could be a long, hot summer ahead.

Mining’s success relies on innovation

R

esilience and innovation have never been more at the forefront for mining in B.C. than today.

During this pandemic, B.C.’s mining and smelting industry demonstrated its leadership and operational strength as responsible operators. We worked closely with our Indigenous partners and governments, health services providers and Northern Health to support community-led preparedness. We partnered with government to co-develop a rapid point of care testing program and to vaccinate workers at our operations and camps in the North, keeping local and Indigenous communities safe and working.

We are taking this same proactive mindset to address our global competitive position at a pivotal time in world metals demand.

MABC recently published the BC Mining Innovation Roadmap, outlining our industry’s path to boost competitiveness, improve sustainability and build industry resilience through innovation. We’ve long embraced innovation to improve our efficiency, reduce waste and decrease our environmental footprint. The roadmap builds on that success by establishing a path to further improve our position as Canadian leaders in innovation with the support and collaboration of our stakeholders and Indigenous partners.

We are at a critical juncture. According to the World Bank, the large-scale energy

transition underway to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets will drive significant demand for the minerals and metals we produce to build the clean technologies and infrastructure needed to reduce global greenhouse gases. Importantly, these commodities must come from responsible sources. Changing societal values and customer preferences are driving demand for companies to meet stringent environmental, social and governance performance metrics. This puts our industry and B.C.’s economic potential in an enviable position.

We already have home advantage. Owing to abundant, clean hydropower and advanced mining and refining methods, B.C. has some of the lowest greenhouse-gas (GHG) emitting mines and smelters in the world. We also meet some of the highest regulatory standards in the world for environmental assessment, operational permitting, compliance and enforcement, and post-closure monitoring and reclamation.

Changes to the Mines Act, the Health Safety and Reclamation Code, BC’s water quality guidelines, and the creation of independent review boards for tailings management have all been implemented

by government in the past few years with the support of B.C.’s mining industry, demonstrating our commitment to continuous regulatory improvement. Industry also supported the creation of a new Mines Health, Safety and Enforcement Division in 2019 to enhance oversight and monitoring of operating and closed mines. Many BC mines have adopted the Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) protocols, which include an internationally recognized system for best practices in tailings and water management.

Today, there are seven B.C. mining projects – new mines or mine extensions – well along in their development that can contribute to our economic recovery by capitalizing on a stronger-than-expected global recovery and rising commodity prices. MABC estimates these projects could deliver more than $4 billion in investment, 2,000 construction jobs, and more than 4,000 operating jobs with an economic impact approaching $8 billion.

Artemis Gold’s proposed Blackwater Mine, near Vanderhoof, could boost the economy of the central Interior, a region coping with a shrinking timber harvest and mill closures. If approved, this project would directly support 825 people jobs during construction and 457 new operating jobs. Importantly, the Lhoosk’uz Dene and Ulkatcho Indigenous Nations have already signed participation and resource revenue sharing agreements with Artemis.

These projects are either in the environmental assessment (EA) process or seeking an amendment to an existing EA or seeking regulatory authorizations after receiving an EA certificate.

All are within a year or two of making a final investment decision, the ultimate project greenlight. If constructed, they will accelerate our province’s economic recovery and deliver significant social and economic benefits for local and Indigenous communities and suppliers throughout our province.

However, to fully realize these opportunities when British Columbians need them most, government needs to process the permitting of these important projects in a timely way and provide industry with greater certainty throughout the permitting process.

As the Mining Association of British Columbia celebrates its 120th year, we are proud to continue to be a world-class mining jurisdiction and a foundational contributor to the provincial economy. Resilience and innovation have been foundational to our success as responsible operators.

We’re excited to work with our industry and Indigenous partners and stakeholders to be a catalyst to our economic recovery and leverage our BC brand as responsible producers of the critical metals and minerals the world needs for a better, low carbon future.

Time to unite Israel and Palestine

G

eorge Floyd has changed the world. His tragic death created a bond of international solidarity that no force on Earth can stop, no matter how some try.

As a person of Middle Eastern descent living in the diaspora, I have always taken an interest in the situation in Israel/Palestine. Palestinians I met would tell me they were from Jordan or Lebanon (which was not untrue) until they knew I was non-judgmental. To be Palestinian, in the eyes of many, meant that one was a terrorist.

A few months ago, the great African American scholar Cornel West was refused tenure at Harvard University, he believes due to his stand on Palestinian issues. At the University of Toronto, renowned human rights lawyer Valentina Azarova was denied a position, it appears, due to her advocacy for Palestinian rights.

As a writer, I became reluctant to even mention Palestinian rights in my columns because this was always met with a scathing indictment from Honest Reporting Canada, the media watchdog that seems to attack anything that is even remotely

critical of the State of Israel.

As a public-school teacher, I never bring up the Israel-Palestine issue and only reluctantly comment when my students directly ask me.

This has been the environment in the North American press and in academia for decades, despite the fact that the number of deaths of Palestinians has exceeded the number of Israelis killed by order of magnitude, despite the fact that Palestinians have continued to be forced from their homes, and despite the fact that they do not have equal rights, even if they are Israeli citizens.

Something is different now. Israel has disproportionately bombed Palestinian civilian populations many times in retribution for homemade rockets being fired by the terrorist organization Hamas.

This time Western journalists are actually challenging the narrative of Israeli officials and making an effort to provide a balanced view of the conflict. Comedians John Oliver and Trevor Noah have questioned the heavy-handed response from Israel, and we cannot forget that the alternate media, from which young people increasingly get their news, has also been openly critical of Israel.

Italian dockworkers refused to load weapons bound for Israel onto ships.

World leaders, including those from Western Europe and even Canada, pushed Israel for a ceasefire. The United States, Israel’s largest weapons supplier, asked for negotiations.

It is also important to note that many Jews are among the most staunch and courageous critics of the State of Israel. They have suffered condemnation from their own communities for decades, yet they remain true to an understanding of scripture that recognizes a God of compassion.

Despite the current situation, I believe in a united future for Israel/Palestine.

Land more than 100 years ago due to religious persecution, I know in the depth of my being that Semitic people, whether we are Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, share an ancient bond as children of Abraham.

Regardless of how we are told to hate, we know that we are family, and we will find a way to peace.

The world has clearly changed. We’re seeing the same global response we saw after a police attack on a peace march led

by Martin Luther King in Selma, Alabama, in 1965. It’s the same response we saw during the peace movement that ended the Vietnam War. It’s the same momentum we saw in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s that culminated in the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The same energy that saw people take to the streets in May and June of 2020 after George Floyd was murdered by police officer Derek Chauvin is moving us. We cried out “Black Lives Matter”, but we understood that this was a cry of solidarity for oppressed peoples around the world, and we knew that this included the Palestinians.

Rebuilding relationships after brain injury

E

xcuse me, do I know you?

Relationships can change drastically after a brain injury - with your spouse, family, friends and the community. Brain injury creates ripples, waves and tsunamis that can significantly affect all kinds of relationships.

As a brain injury survivor, I can tell you the challenges of maintaining relationships are huge. Most often, we appear distant and non-engaged in conversations and activities. We are frequently perceived as rude, selfish and uncaring towards others.

This is farthest from the truth.

The reasons that survivors present as aloof are many. We could be experiencing a migraine headache, feeling dizzy, confused and frustrated. Lights and noise can trigger headaches, anxiety and disorientation.

Trying to follow conversations can be draining. So when it’s our time to speak, we feel so physically and emotionally horrible that we’d rather not say anything at all.

And we often don’t think about explaining ourselves because we have done this so

BOGGLED DIANE NAKAMURA many times.

I find it difficult to answer simple questions like “how are you?” or “what did you do last week?”. Do people really want to know how I am? I can’t remember what I did two hours ago so recalling my previous week of activities is impossible. I get annoyed when my spouse asks me “can you remind to...”. Of course I forget. Now I tell him “no” and he still asks for reminders.

People forget that survivors have brain injury. You ask how can people forget?

It’s easy to forget when you look “normal” and for some of us we talk and walk like we always did. A friend of mine recently told a story about his brother who became brain injured. He looked the same but his personality changed to the point where

my friend didn’t recognize his brother anymore. “You’ve changed,” my friend would say. His brother would reply, “No I haven’t.”

Many brain injured folks have no clue how they present to others. Drastic personality changes are common. Survivors can perceive the people in their lives have changed. They feel judged, criticized and can seem paranoid. Many of us were brought up to think logically, plan, organize and conduct ourselves in a straightforward manner. Brain injury changes all of these areas of functioning.

For survivors and their circle of folks, managing and maintaining relationships can be very difficult, even impossible.

Challenging attitudes and behaviours can come from both sides. People often become frustrated with survivors because we don’t comprehend and remember things like we used to. We aren’t dependable and reliable like we used to be. Our choices and behaviours are often regarded as irresponsible. On the flip side, not having

understanding and empathy from loved ones is hurtful.

It is important for all parties to establish boundaries and maintain them. What are boundaries and why is it important to maintain them? According to the book Boundaries by Townsend and Cloud: “Boundaries are personal property lines that define who you are and who you are not, and influence all areas of your life.”

People who don’t have boundaries are constantly being used and abused and lead a dismal existence. By asserting physical, mental and emotional boundaries, this allows one to feel in control of their physical “bubble”, have your own thoughts and opinions and disengage from the harmful emotional manipulation of others.

Sadly, there are conflicts that will never be reconciled. Relationships fall apart.

Contact becomes minimal or non-existent.

As hurtful as this can be, it would be more hurtful to feel constantly attacked and disrespected. It’s important for everyone involved to take care of themselves.

I have discussed our potholes and missing lane lines a few times with the city and each time I am told that “our harsh winters make it very difficult to maintain our roads.”

Interesting that cities like Quesnel /Kamloops / Smithers and many other northern cities are able to maintain their roads.

Today, as I was approaching 5th and Tabor, there was an elderly man making a right turn onto Tabor. As there were no lines to show the lanes, he happened to

be in the middle of the right turn and the through lane.

Obviously the man in the truck behind him was in a hurry and blasted his horn, which in turn startled the elderly man who swerved, resulting in a near accident.

For a city this size, this is totally unacceptable.

Pull up your socks, Prince George, and fix our roads.

Helen Matson Prince George

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Disgraceful roads

Prince George roads are a disgrace.

I am not sure what one has to do to get the city’s attention.

Our roads have become (or better to say, still are) a joke, but worse yet, are very dangerous, with potholes, cracks down the middle of lanes, very often no lines dividing the lanes and crosswalks that are no longer marked.

This lack of road maintenance is not new but unfortunately it seems it is a pattern

over the years now.

I understand that the city is not doing well in the budgeting area of finance, but road maintenance must be kept up, no matter where the extra dollars have been frivolously spent.

Our roads are accidents waiting to happen.

If you have driven down 5th or 15th Avenue and had your wheel caught in the crevice in the middle of the road, you will understand what I mean.

Inside the witches cauldron

“D

ouble, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble,” the three witches say in unison near the beginning of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

The small, non-threatening fungus, officially known as sarcosoma globosum, but more commonly known as witches cauldron, seems to have earned the nickname because of its appearance. That dark, murky gel at the centre of a brown pot demands attention and explanation.

And area residents are crazy for this fungus, if interest in Hanna Petersen’s story is any indication. Based on its online numbers so far, it will likely be one of our top 10 most-read stories of the year.

NIGHT SHIFT

NEIL GODBOUT

UNBC professor Michael Preston is hoping the public can help him find more samples, so he can do more research into this rare forest inhabitant that little is known about.

Prof. Preston has no idea what the gel is actually for, what kind of fungus it is or if it can be grown in a lab but he’d sure like to find out.

He has some educated guesses, however.

The gel might be a way to release for the

P R I N CE GEO RGE C ITI Z E N

fungus to release its spores. This fungus might live a far less visible life for years or even decades until, at the opportune moment, it flowers into that strange cauldron.

It might only be found in old-growth (a century or older) forests, which would explain both its rarity and why it has largely disappeared from Northern Europe, where it was first observed and also where it was – until now – considered its native habitat.

“What is it doing here in British Columbia? Our environment is a bit similar to northern Europe so sure it should belong here, but what is it actually doing in the forest?,” Preston said, before adding the three favourite words in all of science: “We don’t know.”

Preston would like to learn just what kind of fungus it is.

The role of some fungi is to decompose dead organic matter on the forest floor while others have a tit-for-tat relationship with trees, providing certain nutrients in exchange for food sources in a system called the “wood wide web.”

For all of the interesting science about very big things, like galaxies and black holes, and very small things at the microscopic and genetic level, all the way into the quantum universe, there remain so many unknowns right in front of us.

Diving into the story of the witches cauldron is to plunge into the mystery of life itself.

It will be toil and trouble for Prof. Preston to get this fungus to give up its secrets but that burning fire of curiosity lies at the very heart of the human cauldron.

to bring more problems into our city?

Together we should stand in solidarity to try to save our downtown .

In 2003, Brian Fawcett wrote a book called The Way Things Are in My Hometown. In the book, he wrote that if the Northern Hardware ever goes belly up,

downtown Prince George will be ready for bulldozing.

We can’t bring the bulldozers in because we have too many people laying on the sidewalks.

Helen Robertson Prince George

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Bring in the bulldozers

I think as a city we have to decide if we want a healthy downtown that people want to work in, shop in the stores and go to the restaurants.

At the moment some people are afraid to

go downtown. I feel sad for the businesses downtown as it’s getting worse with people camped in the doorways and leaving their garbage all over. Where are all these downtown friends coming from and more arriving everyday? How are they getting here?

Why would we want to make a big tent city

Iconic Victorian women left great legacy

O

n May 28, 1849, Anne Brontë passed away but her legacy never took its last breath. A victim of tuberculosis, she was just 29.

Anne is often overlooked when placed alongside her two sisters, Charlotte and Emily, the former of which is most widely known, due to her immensely successful and remarkable novel, Jane Eyre. The feminist community, however, has surely not forgotten her, for in the words of Lucy Mangan, Anne is “the forgotten genius - a feminist and social firebrand whose ideas were way over Charlotte’s head and years before their time.”

So what is it about Anne that makes her so special and how is it so relevant to us today? Well, a great deal of the answer to this question stems from her inconspicuous determination. It’s something that made her not a proto-feminist but a feminist, full stop. She saw injustice and attacked it headlong. For instance, the oppressive rulings towards divorce and property ownership towards women, in her time, took full form in her contentious and forever provoking novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

She neither glorified nor extrapolated, but spoke with such rare truth. For instance, one of the primary male characters of her novel was an unremarkable aristocrat. Anne threw down the blazing match when he plummets into alcoholism and takes full shape to another plague Anne lit fire to with her words: domestic abuse.

The critics of the time were evidently horrified to see such a similarly brought up individual as themselves, so challenged and so portrayed. This coupled with the

GUEST COLUMN NOOR ZOHDY

trailblazing advocation for the rights of women, Anne created an uproar. Charlotte herself censored the wildly successful and controversial book after Anne’s death, as she thought the intensity and fierceness of truth sped the death of one who she perceived to be much too fragile to brave it in mortal form.

Sound familiar? It is all too common, even centuries later, for the challenging ideologies of feminism, stemming much from Anne’s legacy, to be brushed off, disbanded, and claimed inconsequential.

Further still, why is it that this is the feminist opposition’s strongest argument? And why is it that feminism sometimes trips, frazzled by the sheerly dogmatic attack?

Let us return to Anne.

None but her own sharpness of mind and quick resolution fuelled Anne. She spoke through her novels more than what many of the people in her time were ready to hear. She audaciously jotted down much of these revolutionary words after hurrying back upstairs, condescended governess and brilliant writer as she was, she heeded not the opinions of others, but followed her heart.

This is the greatest refute to every manner of attack on feminism being without standing. The plaguing attack of declared irrelevance and to be ignored so wholeheartedly can leave one without spirit. But

spirit can be found in Anne’s words and in her legacy upon our shoulders.

Feminism is to remember Anne in her spirit, and to remember Anne in her final words, striving to do just what she said before leaving our world, “take courage.”

Ada Lovelace had that courage. She was a walking paradox. She brilliantly twined her genealogy, making her as revolutionary as she was creatively magnificent: her mother, Lady Byron, being a mathematician, and her father, the prolific poet, Lord Byron. Lovelace was a scientist who sought vibrant visions in her imagination, describing science through abstract metaphors.

When writing of the Analytical Engine, a Victorian-era effort to build what we would later call a computer, she said: “We may say most aptly that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.”

This paradox she harnessed landed her in a world of magnificence of independence, strength, and courage of thought. Being the first-ever computer programmer, she as a woman, stepped beyond the notions of what a woman in her time should do.

Raised alone by her mother, their story is an incredible tale of female resilience, courage, and incredulity.

Poetry, as a form of explorative and creative expression, was by definition a frame by which she understood science, and this allowed her to transcend boundaries and uncover new ways of thinking, leading to her revolutionary scientific contributions.

In her own words, she would not have been able to do this without her imaginations, saying: “Imagination is the Discovering Faculty. Pre-eminently. It is that which

penetrates into the unseen worlds around us, the worlds of Science.”

In her own words, Lovelace looked to science as both a world and a language, by which to communicate it, weaved by our world and language by which we navigate. How then could it not be in tune with poetry? She said: “Science constitutes the language through which alone we can adequately express the great facts of the natural world, and those unceasing changes of mutual relationship which, visibly or invisibly, consciously or unconsciously to our immediate physical perceptions, are interminably going on in the agencies of the creation we live amidst.”

She saw the world and creation as something astounding and great in and of itself. This very consciousness to life led to her breakthroughs in weaving connectivity through it all. She knew the everlasting poetry of her gaze upon the world and science, and saw to express this, writing in a letter her belief: “If you can’t give me poetry, can’t you give me ‘poetical science?’”

The drive to discover the world and the courage to boldly do so through all her faculties, of keen and insightful perception, is what makes Lovelace so spellbinding.

Her spirit of strength in being a walking paradox, in conjoining all that gave her a medium of curiosity and discovery, affirms to me that time can never outlive her nor her legacy of standing both apart from the expected and firm to the original that lives in the imagination. She transcends time in the same way she described imagination, as something that “teaches us to live, in the tone of the eternal.”

My vaccine “why”: I want to hug my dad

By Anne Scott, Regional Manager, Corporate and Program Communications, Northern Health

Nurse Wendi gives Anne her shot at the Prince George Civic Centre. Anne’s was the 79th dose of vaccine Wendi had administered that day. Photo: Laura Elsenheimer

I recently got my first dose of COVID-19 vaccine at the Northern Health clinic at the Prince George Civic Centre, and it was a very positive experience.

Why did I do it?

There were lots of reasons… including being part of the solution, returning to normalcy, protecting our most vulnerable, and so on.

But really, I just want to hug my dad.

Neither my husband’s family nor mine lives in Prince George (they’re mostly down on the coast), so they’re not in our bubble. Even with our Zoom get-togethers, it’s been a long,

lonely time.

The last time I hugged my dad was 11 am on February 28, 2020, right before leaving his house to catch the ferry.

My dad and stepmom have already had their first dose, and so have my sisters and brothers. The niece-and-nephew generation is up next, along with our son. When the whole family is fully vaccinated (and provincial restrictions are lifted), we’ll be able to get together. Just the thought of this brings tears of joy to my eyes.

The whole process of getting my shot was fast, smooth, and easy. There was excellent

Dose 2 appointments

physical distancing in the Civic Centre, and everyone I encountered was helpful and friendly.

Nurse Wendi, who gave me my vaccine, was cheerful and pleasant, and the shot itself didn’t hurt at all – I actually couldn’t even feel it (apparently they use a very thin needle for the COVID vaccines). Wendi said she’s enjoying being part of the vaccine clinic.

“I also work in Emerge,” she said. “With this, you can chat with people for a minute, and you see a well population, which is nice.”

I was Wendi’s 79th vaccination of the day; she figured she was on track to beat the 90

You’ll get your second dose about 16 weeks after the first dose. If you registered on the province’s Get Vaccinated website, you’ll be notified automatically when it’s time for your second dose. · If you got your first dose before the provincial registration system was available, you need to register now. That

way, you’re in the system and you’ll get that notification when it’s time for your second dose. · If you’ve already registered, and you’ve already got your first dose, you’re in the system. You’ll be notified automatically when it’s time for your second dose. You don’t need to do anything else.

she had done the day before (!). As well, I got the last dose of vaccine in the vial, which somehow felt special and lucky (though of course she had lots more vials in the little cooler on her table).

“It’s a good system,” she said. “They’ve really got it down pat.”

My arm was a bit sore for 24 hours, and I felt more tired and lazy than usual for a couple of days, but those were my only side effects.

All in all, a great process, and I’m looking forward to dose 2! (and my hug!)

Note: If you signed up with a pharmacy or with your local health unit, this is not the same as registering with the provincial system. You should still register now at the Get Vaccinated website.

t is with sadness that we announce the passing of Alfred Hildebrandt on May 5, 2021. He was born on the family homestead on Cranbrook Hill April 26, 1935 to Olga and Gustav. He is predeceased by his parents, brothers Walter, Art, and Adolf, and his partner Mary Plautz. He is survived by his brother Roman, sister Clara Klick, and will be greatly missed by many other relatives and friends.

Alfred commented frequently on the beauty of Cranbrook Hill, and how lucky he and his brothers and sister were to grow up there. Always strong and independent, he guarded the chickens when he was five years old and kept them safe from coyotes that might be lurking nearby. When he was six, his mother couldn’t find him in the house one evening and wondered where he’d got to, only to discover that he had gone into the bush full of wild animals to bring the cows home from a mile away. When he was twelve he shot his first moose to help put food on the table, and so began a passion for hunting and fishing at a very young age. The pond on the farm served as the local swimming hole for Alfred and his brothers and all the boys from nearby farms. It was such a great place to escape to while haymaking. The

boys would cool off skinny dipping, bathing suits being in short supply.

Any little sisters that might have been hanging around were shooed away.

In the winter, the pond became the neighbourhood skating and hockey rink.

Alfred began his working career at fifteen, log scaling for the sawmill industry. He worked in lumber and forestry for a few years, then when he was in his late twenties, he was employed as a letter carrier by Canada Post. Soon after starting there he accepted a supervisory position and rose in the organization to eventually become Postmaster, a role he would fulfill for many years until his retirement.

All his life Alfred had a love for farm animals and wildlife, for nature and the great outdoors. He purchased the farm from his parents in the early 1970’s, and there he grew a vegetable garden, made hay, and raised cattle. This was to be his beloved home until his passing.

Many thanks to the staff at Jubilee Lodge and to Dr. McLeod for caring for him so well.

A Life Lived With the opportunity for great personalization, the funeral service can truly reflect the uniqueness of the life it honours.

There are always special people who enter your life, and Rose was a one-of-akind soul whom many had the pleasure to know; teaching many how to love and heal, others and self.

Contact us to find out more.

Due to circumstances, there will only be a very small intimate gathering of family and close friends on the 29th of May. We ask, on this day that if you had the privilege of knowing and spending time with Rose, that you wear your brightest colors and patterns, play some Abba or a waltz/polka and dance with your memories of Rose.

ASSMAN’S FUNERAL CHAPEL

In lieu of cards and flowers, please contribute to the Canadian Diabetes Association with Rose in mind.

BACHAND, Marie March 6, 1937 - May 8, 2021 The family of Mary Anne (Marie) Bernice Lucienne Bachand, (nee St. Amand), are extremely sad to announce her passing on May 8th, at Rotary Hospice House in Prince George, B.C. Surrounded by her family and friends in her final hours, she passed peacefully with her eldest daughter by her side.

Marie is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, Laurent, her children Martin Bachand (Sharon), Dianne Behm (Terry), Elaine Bachand, Adele Bachand (Murray), Rhea Bachand-Dawson (Darcy). Grandchildren David Bachand (Hillary), Angela Aubichon (Ken), Mark Bachand (Rachelle), Steven Pisiak (Alycia), Rodney Pisiak, Kevin Pisiak (Emma), Dan Behm (Suie), Jeremy Behm (Nikki), Rina Cote (Jason), Brandon Cote, Megan Parrish (Tyler), Marie Stewart (Michael), and Grant Selby. Many Great Grand Children were privileged to have her as their Grandma, as well as self proclaimed extra sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren who were determined to be considered part of her extended family by virtue of the endless love, support and unconditional acceptance she had for each one of them.

Marie was born on March 6th, 1937 on her parent’s farm near Zenon Park Saskatchewan. She was part of a large family of 10 children and has three remaining siblings, Therese, Denis (Edna), and Laurette (Laurent). She completed high school in Saskatchewan in 1955 and moved to BC shortly after where she became a new bride on February 14th 1956. She has lived in Prince George as the Matriarch of the family since then, in a cozy house that she constantly filled with joy, laughter and love. Rest In Peace dear one.

Funeral arrangements to be announced in the near future.

She is survived by her sister-in-law, Kay Michel; son Rick Raskob (Ginny); daughter Cathie Moorman (Terry); step-daughters Jodi Schell and Gerri Dawn Paulson (Greg); grandchildren; Joel Moorman (Kara), Lindsay Goodall (Wayne), Kyle Moorman (Stephanie), Brandon Raskob (Robyn), Cody Moorman (Natalie), Carter Moorman (Nicolette), Brett Raskob, Jennifer Raskob, Tara Blondin, Amber Blondin, Samantha Blondin, Zack Paulson and ten great grandchildren.

Mike was born in Yugoslavia, after the war, the family moved to Austria.· At age of 18 he came to Canada on his own. The trip ·across the sea was a rough trip, many passengers were sick. He arrived at a farm in Alberta in 1953, and had to learn English. Then he moved to B.C. to work in sawmills.

He met Lea at a farmer’s home where he worked near Salmon Valley, in 1953. They were married in 1962, built their home in Pineview a year later. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful.

Through the years he worked in the lumber mills, then got a job working in the parks department for the City of Prince George. He worked there for over 20 years. After retiring he hauled firewood and spent many happy hours in the garden, and with his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Survived by his loving wife of 59 years, his children Rosemarie (Michael), Stan and Tom, grandchildren Colten (Britany), Natasha (Carrie) Emilia., and Shelby, and great grandchildren, Blake, Hazel, Bethany, William, Arabella and Karma-lea.

Survived by sister Lani and brother Stefan.

Mike was predeceased by his mother and father, brothers Frank, George, Johan, sisters Maria and Elizabeth.

We thank our family for the love & support they gave us. Also a special thank you to Dr. Plouffe and the Palliative Care Team and all the nurses who were so kind, loving & compassionate caring for Mike, enabling him to stay home. Also a special thank you to Ken & Sandra for helping us through the last two months, Judy, for the shopping trips, Joyce & Debbie for their love and understanding, our wonderful babysitters and to my brother in law Paul for your calls and support. Thank you to longtime and faithful friend of 60+ years, Reid, for coming every week.

We could not have survived without you all. All the calls and cards we received, too many to list, but you all know who you are.

Missing you so very much, we’ll see you in heaven.

We are sincerely grateful to the many friends who have given us support and comfort during this time of loss.

Due to Covid 19 restrictions, there are no formal plans for a service at this time.

TRENDING COLOURS Give your walls new life with

A FRESH COAT OF PAINT

Do you often feel an overwhelming urge to crack out your paintbrush and give your walls a fresh new look inspired by the season’s hottest colours? If you like to stay on top of the latest design trends, here’s what’s in vogue for summer 2017.

trendsetters to a place where the stars — and unexplored galaxies — enchant us day and night. For a truly original, dreamlike design, consult a specialist about the use of watercolours to recreate the richness and depth of a dark night sky.

• Woodland themes. Colours that bring to mind a peaceful stroll through the woods are must-haves in trendy, Zen-inspired homes this year. For inspiration, think of natural elements like leaves, pine needles, ferns, moss, mushrooms, bark and stone. Adding simple, earthy tones to your home is the perfect way to infuse some peace and serenity into your life.

• Expert picks. Pantone and Color Marketing Group — two recognized authorities on international colour trends — have both chosen luscious green tones as this year’s top colours. Coincidence or fate? Greenery (selected by Pantone) is a refreshing and revitalizing shade, whereas Thrive (chosen by Color Marketing Group) is more of a warm olive green.

• Nocturnal skies. This year, colour schemes featuring gradients of blue, grey and purple are transporting

• Sequined elegance. This year, be bold and opt for a chic design using special paint that includes a sequined finishing gel. This ultra glamorous style can be achieved by combining any number of dark colours (midnight blue, burgundy, charcoal grey, etc.) with small, iridescent flakes. In the right light, the end result is simply stunning!

Visit www.pantone.com or for colour inspiration!

Tour the specialty paint stores in your region to find unique products that will add personality to your home’s interior.

Five common CURTAIN MISTAKES TO AVOID The window treatment experts have spoken! Here are the five most common errors made by homeowners who choose to install their new curtains without seeking professional assistance.

1. Choosing poor quality fabrics that are prone to discolouration or have irregular stitching or mismatched patterns.

2. Cutting curtains too short. They should ideally graze the floor.

3. Buying a flimsy metal rod to support heavy curtains.

4. Neglecting to get rid of creases or wrinkles (quick, fire up the iron!).

5. Forgetting to cover the opposite side with a lining fabric. Not only is this unattractive, but your curtains won’t effectively shield against light when needed. For best results, always consult a specialist!

VINTAGE DESIGN

ANTIQUE BIRDCAGES: precious and romantic Sometimes, in country-style weddings, a beautiful birdcage serves as a holding chamber for greeting cards. Today, this vintage decorative item is increasingly used to embellish spaces defined by pure, innocent and romantic design.

Often decorated with finely crafted flowers or candles, these metal antique cages are adorable, especially when painted a soft colour like cream, mint green, rose gold, pale blue or yellow.

Visit specialty retailers and vintage shops in your area to unearth an authentic antique cage or at least a faithful replica to complete your rustic inspired décor.

Would you like to add an exotic touch to your bedroom, kitchen or family room? Let yourself be inspired by the extraordinary beauty of Moroccan design! There are so many possibilities: lampshades made with stained glass; lanterns adorned with finely crafted metal leaves; pillows, ottomans and carpets boasting complex motifs; or frames, vases and chests carved in exotic wood. Talented Moroccan artisans know how to create true works of art!

COLOURS Defined by rich, bold hues, Moroccan design often features one or more of the following: • Fuchsia or coral • Bright red or maroon • Violet or dark purple • Yellow or burnt orange • Electric blue or teal • Turquoise or emerald green WOOD The types of wood most often used in Moroccan design include cedar and mahogany, as well as bark from lemon and olive trees. These woods are often employed to build decorative objects like picture frames and candlesticks, or other household items like tissue boxes and magazine racks. Fashioned to perfection, these works of art are impossible to resist and deserve a special place in your home.

METAL The types of metal most often used in Morocco include copper, stainless steel, brass and silver. These materials are often found hanging from ceilings in the form of beautiful lanterns that give off a sensual and mysterious glow.

Do you love tea? Get your hands on a Moroccan-style metal teapot inspired by the famous Arabian Nights!

TERRACOTTA For centuries, Moroccan potters have mastered the art of crafting beautiful, durable items using earthenware materials like terracotta. Pots, garden lamps and amphora jars are but three examples of Moroccan-inspired items that you can use to embellish your home’s décor, inside and out!

Adding simple, earthy tones to your home is the perfect way to infuse some peace and serenity into your life.

• Expert picks. Pantone and Color Marketing Group — two recognized authorities on international colour trends — have both chosen luscious green tones as this year’s top colours. Coincidence or fate? Greenery (selected by Pantone) is a refreshing and revitalizing shade, whereas Thrive (chosen by Color Marketing Group) is more of a warm olive green.

• Nocturnal skies. This year, colour schemes featuring gradients of blue, grey and purple are transporting

• Sequined elegance. This year, be bold and opt for a chic design using special paint that includes a sequined finishing gel. This ultra glamorous style can be achieved by combining any number of dark colours (midnight blue, burgundy, charcoal grey, etc.) with small, iridescent flakes. In the right light, the end result is simply stunning!

Visit www.pantone.com or for colour inspiration!

Tour the specialty paint stores in your region to find unique products that will add personality to your home’s interior.

Five common CURTAIN MISTAKES TO AVOID The window treatment experts have spoken! Here are the five most common errors made by homeowners who choose to install their new curtains without seeking professional assistance.

1. Choosing poor quality fabrics that are prone to discolouration or have ir­ regular stitching or mismatched patterns.

2. Cutting curtains too short. They should ideally graze the floor.

3. Buying a flimsy metal rod to support heavy curtains.

4. Neglecting to get rid of creases or wrinkles (quick, fire up the iron!).

5. Forgetting to cover the opposite side with a lining fabric. Not only is this unattractive, but your curtains won’t effectively shield against light when needed. For best results, always consult a specialist!

Fall under the spell of MOROCCAN-INSPIRED DÉCOR

VINTAGE DESIGN

ANTIQUE BIRDCAGES: precious and romantic Sometimes, in country-style weddings, a beautiful birdcage ser­ves as a holding chamber for greeting cards. Today, this vintage decorative item is increasingly used to embellish spaces defined by pure, innocent and romantic design.

Often decorated with finely crafted flowers or candles, these metal antique cages are adorable, especially when painted a soft colour like cream, mint green, rose gold, pale blue or yellow.

Visit specialty retailers and vintage shops in your area to unearth an authentic antique cage or at least a faithful replica to complete your rustic inspired décor.

Would you like to add an exotic touch to your bedroom, kitchen or family room? Let yourself be inspired by the extraordinary beauty of Moroccan design! There are so many possibilities: lampshades made with stained glass; lanterns adorned with finely crafted metal leaves; pillows, ottomans and carpets boasting complex motifs; or frames, vases and chests carved in exotic wood. Talented Moroccan artisans know how to create true works of art!

COLOURS Defined by rich, bold hues, Moroccan design often features one or more of the following: • Fuchsia or coral • Bright red or maroon • Violet or dark purple • Yellow or burnt orange • Electric blue or teal • Turquoise or emerald green WOOD The types of wood most often used in Moroccan design include cedar and mahogany, as well as bark from lemon and olive trees. These woods are often employed to build decorative objects like picture frames and candlesticks, or other household items like tissue boxes and magazine racks. Fashioned to perfection, these works of art are impossible to resist and deserve a special place in your home.

METAL The types of metal most often used in Morocco include copper, stainless steel, brass and silver. These materials are often found hanging from ceilings in the form of beautiful lanterns that give off a sensual and mysterious glow.

Do you love tea? Get your hands on a Moroccan-style metal teapot inspired by the famous Arabian Nights!

TERRACOTTA For centuries, Moroccan potters have mastered the art of crafting beautiful, durable items using earthenware materials like terracotta. Pots, garden lamps and amphora jars are but three examples of Moroccan-inspired items that you can use to embellish your home’s décor, inside and out!
