The subject of a missing person bulletin who later emerged at the centre of a high-profile arrest in the Central Interior after stealing a pickup truck in the Yukon will be under the eye of federal authorities for a further decade once he has completed the remainder of his time in jail.

William Ryan Aime Nadeau, 47, was sentenced Tuesday to 3 1/2 years in jail followed by a 10-year long-term supervision order, and has been prohibited from driving for one year.

Nadeau was sentenced for an escapade that began when he stole the truck from a mining site near Carmacks and ended the next day with his apprehension just north of Quesnel. Less credit for time served prior to sentencing, he had 126 more days to serve in the jail sentence.

Nadeau pepper sprayed mine worker, stole truck Continued from page 1

Once completed, he will remain under the direct supervision of Corrections Canada and the Parole Board of Canada for a further 10 years and likely be assigned to a halfway house.

According to an agreed statement of facts, on Feb. 18, 2021, Nadeau had ventured onto the mining site to ask for cigarettes. Feeling that the two workers on the site were rude to him, Nadeau returned during the early morning of the next day, this time wearing a camouflage mask, armed with a compound bow with arrows and bear spray and carrying zap straps.

Nadeau entered the building where the workers were sleeping and when one of them went downstairs to investigate the noise, Nadeau pointed the bear spray at him and ordered him to get down on his knees. The worker refused and, despite being bear sprayed by Nadeau, was able to retreat back upstairs where the two barricaded themselves in their room.

Nadeau found keys to the truck and left. Because the camp’s communication cables had been cut, the workers were

Nadeau was arrested under the Mental

in a provincially-run forensic psychiatric hospital. But Nadeau not only pleaded guilty to a series of charges from the incident, he consented to the long-term supervision order, which became part of a joint submission on sentencing from Crown and defence counsels.

In agreeing to the submission, Provincial Court Judge Susan Mengering found that based in particular on the psychiatric report, Nadeau poses a high risk to re-offend but went on to note that he has sought and wants psychiatric help.

“A long-term supervision order will allow a crafting of conditions and provision of services that Mr. Nadeau has never before had access to,” Mengering said. “It is clear that a lengthy period of monitoring and supervision in the community is essential for ongoing risk reduction and risk management.”

Wheelin’ Warriors of the North founder Karin Piche recently posted her ‘why I ride’ story on Facebook and it’s a little heartbreaking and a lot inspirational.

Piche started the group in November 2012, right after she lost a friend to skin cancer. She is captain for the Tour de Cure team to raise funds for the BC Cancer Foundation.

“In the beginning I used the ride as an outlet for my mourning,” Piche explained.

“Since then, my reasons for continuing to ride and to captain this amazing team have grown and evolved to encompass so much more. I ride to create space for people to mourn their losses, and also to celebrate life’s accomplishments and subtleties. I ride to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation, the largest fundraising event supporting BC Cancer. Each year our team has consisted of some very

inspiring and dedicated teammates ranging in age and experience, but all share a common goal: a passion for fundraising in support of cancer research and care.”

So far the Wheelin’ Warriors of the North have raised almost $1.5 million for the BC Cancer Foundation and the money all stays in the North. The funds go to BC Cancer to equip the centre with critical technology, expand its research capabilities and attract world-class experts and supports the Patient Comfort Fund, which provides resources for patients travelling to Prince George for treatment.

This year is Piche’s 11th ride and she is once again asking for the community’s support. For more information and to donate to the cause visit www.tourdecure. ca/fundraiser/Karin23. And if a dinner dance fundraiser appeals, check out the Free Wheelin’ Gala on May 27 at the Prince George Civic Centre.

Tinkering with viruses is scientific hubris

F

rom a young age that white lab coat of the scientist was a symbol of honour and pride, a livelihood you could aspire to, up there with being an astronaut.

So it is no doubt a pretty hard hit reading the disturbing news the US Department of Energy now believes COVID-19 most likely emerged as the result of scientific inquiry in a Chinese government lab.

We don’t know for sure, but there is a pretty strong bit of evidence that nobody seems to want to put on the front page: the leaked research proposals and progress reports prior to 2019 laying out roadmaps to create new viruses with unique genetic features, including things like a “furin cleavage site,” that, lo and behold, we find in COVID-19 in the very same city as where some of this work was being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of

THE BACK STORY JAMES STEIDLE

Virology (WIV).

Current biotechnology not only enables researchers to transform a natural animal virus into a possible civilization-threatening human pandemic pathogen, but also enables them to do so shockingly quickly and inexpensively.

Of course the evidence we would need to know for sure has most likely been scrubbed from the WIV, as explained by former CDC director Robert Redfield in recent Congressional hearings.

He testified that in September of 2019 the Chinese military took control of the

facility, changed the air filtration system, and deleted the extensive online database of bat virus sequences.

But scientific self-reflection is not exactly forthcoming outside of China either. American agencies and Western universities who pioneered this technology continue to hide details of their collaborations with the WIV. Meanwhile a small clique of western virologists and cooperative media vociferously argues a wet market is almost certainly the cause of close to ten million deaths, not scientists, without a scintilla of evidence.

Ignoring for a moment the element of self-preservation in such insistence, there is something else profound at play here.

“Science” has more or less replaced religion as the dominant means of explaining how the world works.

For many of us it’s our guiding belief

Our faith in science is part of our cultural identity, our ego, and our pride.

You either believe in science of you are “anti-science,” a modern-day accusation of heresy.

That’s not an atmosphere conducive to open-minded discussion, truth, or criticism.

In this respect I can’t help but think some old biblical teachings got lost in the mix.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom,” it says in Proverbs.

Ending the Doctorine of Discovery a turning point

T

he concept of a Doctrine of Discovery came into the consciousness of many people during the Pope’s visit to Canada in July 2022.

Indigenous protesters unfurled a large banner in Quebec City that read, “Rescind the Doctrine.” Francis clearly heard these concerns and on March 30, the Catholic Church released an official statement repudiating the fifteenth-century teachings that were used to justify colonialism and deny the humanity of billions of people.

One may ask why a series of 500-yearold papal bulls (essentially, decrees from the Vatican) are so significant.

The reason is that they formed the basis of law and practice in much of the world, even in states that are not Catholic. In 2005, for example, United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (considered by many to have been a progressive) used these documents to justify denying land claims to the Oneida Nation in New York State.

The Papal Bulls of Discovery were used to justify everything from taking away people’s homes to slavery, as well as the

LESSONS IN LEARNING GERRY CHIDIAC

residential school system. They were in clear violation of natural law, which the Church embraces as central to our common humanity and the basis of any form of morality.

Nowhere is this contradiction more obvious than in the Arab world. European colonizers, who according to these bulls saw non-Christians as inferior, were confronted with the fact that descendants of Jesus’s own lineage populated these areas.

They tried to justify their colonizing efforts by saying that Christians (and later Jews) in the area were somehow not really Arabs, a concept that is absurd, especially to the people of the region.

One may rightly question the significance of repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery in 2023. Essentially, to maintain

integrity, Pope Francis had no choice other than to make a statement because the old teachings have done incalculable harm throughout the centuries. Although we cannot turn back time, we can make reparations to the descendants of the people who were victimized.

We also need to consider the scope of the pope’s statement.

The Catholic Church is the world’s second-largest religion and 30 per cent of the population of Canada is Catholic. Just as Canadians ask, “How do I embrace the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?”, every Catholic in the world is now asking, “How do I repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery?”

My answer is that it impacts every aspect of my life, from the way that I think and pray, to the way I treat my neighbours, to the way that I do my job, to the way that I shop, to the stand I take on Canadian domestic and foreign policies.

It goes without saying that I must challenge the institution of the church to be accountable for living up to its expressed ideals.

The timing of this statement in the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MAID IN CANADA TARGETS THE SICK TO SAVE MONEY We have all felt the heartache of watching a loved one suffer through illness or injury and wished we could take away their pain. It is this sentiment that draws people to the Medical Assistance in Dying program (MAID).

However, now that Canada has opened this pandora’s box, an increasing number of Canadians are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take action, as heartbreaking stories continue to come out across Canada exposing the unethical, irresponsible, and dangerous implications of Canada’s MAID program.

Stories such as 54-year-old Amir Farsound, who, facing an eight-year waitlist for assisted living in Ontario and not being able to afford rent, opted to apply for MAID instead of ending up homeless on the streets.

Similarly, last October, Canada’s

Minister of Veterans Affairs, Laurence MacAulay, was called upon by the House of Commons to explain multiple cases of Canadian veterans being pushed towards the MAID program by government case workers. One of these deeply troubling cases included a veteran, who while seeking support for his neurological injuries, was reportedly told by a government case worker “If down the road you have suicidal thoughts, MAID is better than blowing your brains out against a wall”.

Trudeau’s response, however, has been to minimize the concerns and look to expand the program to include mental illness candidates which would put even more Canadian’s lives at risk. Despite the recent news of the expansion being pushed back to 2024, the intent of the Trudeau government remains the same.

The Canadian government has followed European countries with similar MAID programs to guide its implementation in Canada. However, in countries such as Belgium and The Netherlands, safeguards

weeks leading up to Easter is also significant. Catholics believe that the suffering and death of Jesus did not only occur two thousand years ago.

They believe that whenever anyone in the world suffers due to our actions or inaction or those of our society, whether intentional or unintentional, the Son of God is crucified.

The March 30 statement from the Vatican should make it clear to Catholics that every person who suffered and continues to suffer due to the crimes of colonialism is Christ crucified.

It is even more significant, however, that Christians believe in the resurrection of Jesus on Easter morning. Suffering and even death do not destroy us. We can learn from our mistakes and do better.

This is not just a question of hoping for a better world, it means actively living to bring about justice, knowing that positive transformation is inevitable.

Just as the Doctrine of Discovery had a profoundly negative impact on the world, its repudiation can be a turning point in history. It is up to us and to our descendants to bring that about.

E-mail: letters@pgcitizen.ca

put in place to guide the program have been seen to be ineffective and flawed.

In Belgium, safeguards meant to ensure only voluntary participation in MAID were inadequate, according to a 2013 survey study conducted by a group of Belgian researchers. In fact, according to the study, 1.7% of the deaths occurring in the Flanders region of Belgium during 2013, occurred due to the illegal administration of fatal drugs without patient consent . In fact, in both the Netherlands and Belgium, a disproportionate number of elderly patients have reportedly died as a result of illegally administered procedures conducted by nurses, without the legally required presence of a doctor.

Perhaps most disturbing, however, is the evidence that MAID programs can act as a financial crutch for healthcare systems. Based on cases in Europe, many elderly people have been pushed towards MAID by medical personnel to relieve the financial burden on the healthcare system. In Canada, research suggest that

MAID could decrease healthcare spending by nearly 140 million annually.

There are, of course, those such as the Canadian human-rights activist group Dying with Dignity, who defend the MAID program in Canada, seeing it as a progressive step in the countries health care system. These MAID supporters argue that the program promotes personal autonomy and that the existence of unbearable suffering justifies the right for people to want to ‘opt out’. However, despite these arguments in favor of the MAID program, the evidence clearly shows that safeguards put in place have been inadequate in ensuring safe, transparent, and ethical use of medical assisted death programs in many countries. The federal government must respond to this evidence, as well as the concerns of Canadians, to swiftly amend legislation to limit the scope of the program and keep it from acting as an unethical crutch for a failing medical system and lack of government funding.

Northern Health suing ship owner MARK NIELSEN Citizen staff

Northern Health is suing a ship owner alleged to have reneged on bills for medical expenses.

According to a notice of claim filed March 24 in B.C. Supreme Court, a member of the crew aboard the Morning Cloud needed emergency medical care while the bulk cargo carrier had berthed at the Port of Prince Rupert in January 2021.

The crew member was in hospital for eight days, most of the time spent at Mills Memorial Hospital in Terrace.

Cost of the care amounted to $45,489 and because the patient was a foreign citizen, he did not qualify for coverage under public health insurance in Canada.

The ship’s owner, Vitcay Maritime Inc., is listed as a

defendant, as is the ship’s manager, Zodiac Maritime Ltd., both registered at an office in London, as well as G.W. Nickerson Co. Ltd., a vessel agency and customs brokerage based in Prince Rupert. The crew member is also listed as a defendant.

The day after the crew member was discharged, Northern Health had delivered an invoice to G.W. Nickerson, as had been requested by the agency, adding up to $40,368.

Invoices for the cost of transfer to MMH by ambulance, $3,991, and additional costs, $1,130, were also delivered.

To date, the bills have not been paid, according to the claim and receipt of the invoices by Vitcay and Zodiac was confirmed by their appointment of counsel in B.C. to dispute charging non-residents rates for the care, the claim states. The allegations have not been tested in court and the defendants have not yet filed responses.

Dangerous dog trial hears of deadly attack MARK NIELSEN

Citizen staff

A Prince George woman is once again at the centre of a dangerous dog trial.

Alyssa Dionne has been identified as the owner of one of two dogs seized by a city bylaw services officer after they allegedly killed another dog living in a nearby home in the 1400 block of Nation Crescent during the early morning of July 20, 2022.

In December 2017, a judge ordered that two pit bulls Dionne owned be destroyed after finding them responsible for a series of attacks on other dogs and of menacing people while being allowed to run loose.

Dionne’s father, Joseph, is also listed as a defendant in the latest case although her sister, Montana Munroe, has been identified as the owner of the other dog.

According to testimony heard Wednesday, Brianna Wilson, a then-neighbour who no longer lives in the area, heard a yelp shortly before 5:30 a.m., looked out her front window and saw two “pit bull type” dogs hovering over what turned out to be a small 13-year-old Maltese named Buddy on her neighbour’s front lawn

two dogs and put them in cages in the back of her truck. She said one the dogs, described as “tall and skinny” appeared more aggressive than the other “short and stocky” one and that it appeared that Alyssa Dionne owned the gentler of the two, noting that she was “upset, tearful and shaking” as it was put into the cage.

It also turns out that they were the two dogs that were “broken out” of the BC SPCA shelter on Aug. 5, 2022. Eleven days later, they were found at a camp in some trees off Winnipeg Street and returned to the SPCA, the court was told.

The trial centres on two applications to destroy the dogs, said to be known as Nixon and Freya, and on a handful of alleged violations of city bylaws by Alyssa and Joseph Dionne.

The trial began without either defendant in attendance after the court was told the two repeatedly failed to respond to emails from the prosecutor. However, Alyssa Dionne appeared after much of the day’s testimony was heard and has been given a chance to hear a recording of testimony heard so far.

The trial will continue at a later date.

Race Across the World contestants Tasha and Cathie stand at a gas station in Merritt asking for rides to Prince George.

BBC reality show features Prince George, northern B.C. HANNA PETERSEN Citizen staff

The new season of a hit BBC reality TV series is showcasing just how difficult it is to travel through British Columbia without a vehicle – particularly in northern B.C. The BBC reality series Race Across The World premiered its third season in March and the first episode spotlights Prince George.

The show follows an Amazing Race type journey where contestants must make their way across Canada starting in Vancouver’s Stanley Park and finishing in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

The first leg of the journey has contestants traveling from Vancouver to Tlell,

a community on Haida Gwaii – without access to the internet, phones, airplanes or car rentals.

The contestants are also given a £2,498.13 budget to complete the entire journey across Canada of 16,000km in 50 days, equating to a budget of just under £50 per day.

“In a country where a loaf of bread can cost twice as much as in the UK,” adds the narrator, in an ominous voice over.

Three of the teams decide to journey through Vancouver Island to catch the Port Hardy ferry to Prince Rupert, and another two teams decide to travel north through the interior.

Husband and wife team Zanib and Mobeen head north through Whistler, where they ask a local for

recommendations on how to get to Prince Rupert.

“Well, there is no bus service now from that direction and you can’t ride the train up there no more,” the man says.

“So, there’s no concrete way of getting past Whistler?” Mobeen asks incredulously.

“Not, on any kind of transit.”

All of the teams ended-up having to rely on the kindness of strangers to help them make their way to Prince Rupert.

When Zanib and Mobeen make it to Prince George, they end up in the Costco parking lot holding out a cardboard sign asking for rides north.

Luckily, they met a man named Corey who agreed to take them to Prince Rupert for $250.

EVENTS ARE BACK!

“It was going to be a nature day. It was going to be – go out and find a good place.

It’s not quite warm enough but I was going to jump in a lake, so on the way I probably am going to find one?” says Corey, who later explains he used to jump in a lake with his dog, who has now passed, every May 1 as a tradition.

They all agree to make a pit stop to jump in the lake in memory of his dog along the way to Prince Rupert.

“Until we met you, I thought we would never get to Prince Rupert, honestly,” says Mobeen.

While the show highlights the struggles of transportation in British Columbia, things only get worse as the following episode has the contestants go from Haidai Gwaii to Dawson City, Yukon.

Cougars advance on Wheatcroft’s OT winner

15

TED CLARKE Citizen staff

Chase Wheatcroft had no idea where the shot went.

He just saw the red light flash behind TriCity Americans goalie Tomas Suchanek and the roar of the partisan CN Centre crowd of 5,383 confirmed it was the overtime winner the Prince George Cougars needed to post their first WHL series win since 2007.

Wheatcroft’s delayed wrister finished off a 2-on-1 setup from Jaxsen Wiebe, 2:31 into OT, to give the Cats a 5-4 Easter Sunday win in Game 6 that ended the Americans’ season. Wiebe led the rush after Cougar defenceman Ephram McNutt forced a turnover deep in Cougar territory.

“I kind of blacked out and got teary-eyed afterwards, it’s unbelievable, such a special feeling, but I don’t think we’re done yet, I think we have a lot to prove and we’ll take that into next weekend,” said Wheatcroft, who led the led the Cougars this season with 47 goals and 107 points.

The noise coming from the stands while Wheatcroft was getting mobbed by his teammates conjured up memories of frenzied fanbase that got behind a Cougar team that went three rounds deep into the playoffs 16 years ago.

“We have the best fans in the league,” said Wheatcroft. “They were unbelievable. I can’t even think after I score a goal or make a hit, they’re a huge key to our success.”

Zac Funk cashed in a net-front backhand feed from Riley Heidt to score the go-ahead goal for Prince George two minutes into the third period, Funk’s team-leading fourth of the playoffs, but the lead evaporated with five minutes left, when Jake Sloan fired in a rebound behind Ty Young to force the overtime session.

The Prince George Cougars shake hands with the Tri-City Americans, following the Cougar’s 5-4 overtime victory in Game 6 of their first-round WHL playoff series.

who took over the Cougars’ net in the third period of Game 3 when Tyler Brennan suffered an ankle injury, won three of the four games in the series. He made 34 saves on Sunday and kept the Cougars’ lead intact for most of the game and the crowd let him know his efforts were appreciated.

“It’s pretty exciting, we’re just happy to have all the fans back in the building and with that noise tonight I don’t think it was possible for us to lose,” said Young. “(On the winning goal) I was just thinking, please score, I don’t need a shot in overtime, and I was pretty excited when I saw the red light go on.”

The Cougars built a 3-1 lead in the first period on goals from Heidt, Cole Dubinsky and Fischer O’Brien, while Reece Belton countered for Tri-City. The Americans pushed the pace in the second period and were rewarded with strikes from Ethan

Ernst and Tyson Greenway to even the count before the second intermission.

Each team scored once in an entertaining back-and-forth third period that produced numerous quality chances at both ends.

Caden Brown’s sixth point of the series came off a perfectly-timed pass to Dubinsky, who crashed the net to score the second Cougar goal for a 2-0 lead, 7:57 in.

O’Brien’s goal late in the period was also set up by Brown, who streaked in on a partial breakaway and fanned on his shot but caught up to the loose puck to send a backhand feed in front to O’Brien, who put the puck into an open net.

Early in overtime, O’Brien flattened Americans centre Elouann Lemonnier with a clean hit in the corner of the rink and got into a fight with Deagan McMillan just before Wheatcroft scored. O’Brien, a

Prince George native, knows Cougar fans have waited ages for the series win they witnessed Sunday.

“I was four the last time, so that’s a long time,” said the 20-year-old O’Brien. “It’s just special for the city, I grew up here so it’s nice to put something back into it.

Hopefully we can more people back in for Round 2. It gives us lots of energy and makes us want to be here. It’s the best thing that could happen for us.”

The Cats advance to the Western Conference semifinal against a Seattle Thunderbirds team that won a franchise-best 54 games.

The T-birds, who swept Kelowna in the first round, will host the first two games on the best-of-seven series Friday and Saturday in Kent, Wash. The series switches to CN Centre for Games 3 and 4 Tuesday and Wednesday.

Spruce Kings swept from playoffs CITIZEN STAFF

The Prince George Spruce Kings are out of the 2023 playoffs.

The Prince George Spruce Kings gave their fans at Kopar Memorial Arena nearly five full periods of hockey April 5 but couldn’t come up with the winning goal, as they fell 2-1 to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in double overtime.

The loss eliminated the Spruce Kings from the BCHL Playoffs.

Jordan Fairlie turned aside 47 of 49 shots for the Kings in his final game of junior hockey.

In the first period, the Silverbacks opened the scoring early.

Mathieu Bourgault scored his first of the playoffs to put Salmon Arm ahead 1-0. Liam Steele earned his first assist of the postseason on the play at 3:25 of the opening period.

Evan Fedele scored for the Kings.

Muriel Olichny, adored wife and mother.

With heavy hearts we wish to announce that our father, Earle Cameron Pultz, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on March 30, 2023 at 87 years of age.

Earle was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Mabel Eva Pultz (Padletsky) in 2014.

He is survived by his son Dennis; daughter JoAnn Spencer (Grant); grandsons Zachary (Lyndsay), Trevor (Michaela); great grandchildren Evan, Rylee and Sophia; brothers Lloyd and Freddie; sisters Jane and June as well as nieces and nephews across Canada.

Earle was a truck driver for Shell Oil for most of his career. He and Mabel made many life long friends travelling to Arizona to spend winters after their retirement but their most rewarding times were spent camping and spending time with their family.

FLORENCE LAW

Butterworth, George

It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear loved one, Florence Law, on April 1st, 2023, in her 87th year. She was surrounded by love with her family by her side. She will be greatly missed by all of us, who will forever love her dearly.

1941-2023

Florence is survived by her daughter Brenda (Doug) and grandchildren, Crystal (Kevin), Dustin (Nicolas), Kat (Larissa) and other special extended family.

Florence was predeceased by her husband Graham, son Brian, her two sisters, Dorothy and Beulah, many beloved aunts, uncles, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins and friends.

Florence was born in Saskatchewan where she grew up with family gatherings and enjoyed many barn dances.

She moved to BC at a young age with her first husband, Carman where they raised their family in the Prince George area. Florence then, married her second husband, Graham in Vernon, where they enjoyed many years before moving back north to Bear Lake. Later they moved to Langley after life threw yet, another curveball. Life was not always easy but Florence treasured all of the love and the special moments spent with her cherished family and friends. She enjoyed crocheting, playing games, watching curling and listening to loved ones. Florence cared so deeply for others and as we observed, the love she gave away, was greatly returned to her from so many special people.

We are grateful for all the love and care she received while in Peace Arch hospital, Weatherby (1) Pavilion and the Residence at Morgan Heights assisted living facility before that. So many wonderful souls who touched mom’s heart. Thank you to all of you.

Donations can be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

Dear Pauline, we are grateful for the many wonderful hours we were allowed to spend with you.

Darla Lou Gjerde (Huber/Bain) was born in Rose Valley, Saskatchewan on July 9th, 1956.

On March 18th, 2023, at the age of 66, Darla’s wings opened as she took flight soaring high above the Prince George sky transforming into the Eagle that she always admired.

Spiritual Meaning of an Eagle: Vision, Strength & Fearlessness Darla was the oldest of three siblings and is predeceased by her father Walter Gjerde. She leaves behind her mother Verna Gjerde, brothers Eldon Gjerde (Cindy Gjerde) and Lionel Gjerde (Michelle Gjerde), daughters Jodie Huber, Melissa Huber, Kortney Huber-Service (Richard Service), Stacey Lust (Derek Lust), and husband Dave Bain. Darla was also a grandmother to 6 beautiful grandchildren, Teaghan Hansley, Abraham Wubineh, Roien & Myloe Brown, Jaiden & Kaison Service.

Darla enjoyed helping others and felt a deep spiritual connection with the First Nations People living in BC. She held a Bachelor of Social Work and helped others overcome obstacles and life challenges while working with the Ministry of Children & Family Development, The Native Friendship Centre, The Kwadacha Nation and numerous Group Homes throughout Prince George, BC. She was also an active member of the Christian Gateway Church in Prince George BC. Darla was an avid reader, an animal lover, and a mean pickle maker. She was a relentless cheerleader during her daughter’s softball games and was well known for keeping both the score and the players inline. She enjoyed fashion and certainly had an item or two of clothing to spare as she truly loved to shop.

Darla gardened, played baseball, made costumes for her children, crafted beautiful hand made cards, and enjoyed being in the peaceful space that she shared with her husband Dave Bain.

She loved the colour purple and was an energy to be reckoned with. Please join us as we remember Darla for her infectious laughter, beautiful smile and the electric energy that she shared with so many. Please wear purple so together we can celebrate her life, share memories, and don her favourite colour as a sea of purple.

A celebration of Darla’s life will be held on Saturday July 8th, 2023, at the Gateway Church 2055, 20th Avenue, Prince George, BC. The celebration will be held from 1pm - 3pm, the church will remain open for those wishing to stay longer. In lieu of flowers, for anyone wishing to donate please do so to one of the organizations dear to her heart.

The World Wildlife Fund The Alzheimer’s Society of BC The Gateway Church, Prince George The Elizabeth Fry Society, Prince George

Grateful for the many stories from your childhood and youth in Austria as well as from your time with uncle John in Canada. Those stories often made us laugh and gave us insight into and let us be part of the sometimes difficult, but still impressive and exciting life of you and John.

Grateful for the many times you made us feel welcome in your home, cared for us and spoiled us with delicious dishes and your famous ”Guglhupf“.

Grateful for the days and evenings we were able to spend with you over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, during which you shared your secrets on how to be an incredibly strong, interesting and impressive woman.

Grateful for the many laughs we shared, the hugs and loving words.

You leave us behind with a crying eye and a smile on our faces, because although we miss you incredibly, we will never forget the wonderful time with you.

4 must-have accessories for your home Decorating with accessories is a great way to quickly and affordably enhance the look of your home. Here are a few suggestions.

1. Rugs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and textures. To create the perfect look, make sure you choose a floor covering that matches the style of your home 2. Plants can instantly make your space feel bright and lively. If you decide to purchase real plants instead of artificial ones, make sure your home has plenty of light.

3. Textiles like duvet covers, table linens, chair cushions and throws can add colour and texture to your home.

Look for beautiful designs that express your personal sense of style.

4. Wall hangings like picture frames, clocks and paintings come in a variety of sizes and styles. However, make sure you don’t overcrowd your

walls. You can also install shelving to display your decorative items. To find unique pieces, visit your local home decor stores.

Restoring or replacing flooring is a great way to refresh your home’s look. Here are four ways you can update your floors.

1. REFINISH IT If your floor looks a little worse for wear, refinishing it is an affordable solution.

Depending on its condition, you may need to sand, varnish, stain or repair cracks to make the floor look new again.

2. PAINT IT You can paint over most types of flooring. For example, wood flooring is particularly easy to paint. Just make sure you choose a suitable product for the type of surface and level of traffic in the room.

3. REPLACE IT If your floor is beyond repair, replacing it

may be your only option. However, make sure you choose a suitable floor type. For example, if you need to update your bathroom floor, choose a waterproof material like ceramic.

4. DECORATE IT If your floor is in good condition, simply adding a rug or two can instantly transform your space. Choose a rug that’s the right size, style and colour for the room.

Additionally, if you have pets, you may want to opt for a scratch-resistant flooring material like vinyl.

If you don’t have any experience repairing or installing flooring, hire a professional.

4 tips for lighting a room The right lighting can enhance the style and functionality of a room. If you want to update a space in your home, here are four tips for choosing the right lighting.

1. COMPLEMENT THE EXISTING STYLE First and foremost, you should choose light fixtures that match the style of the room. For example, recessed lighting and pendant lights are great for modern and contemporary homes.

2. ANALYZE THE ROOM It’s important to think about how you use the room. You should also take into account the furniture arrangement and amount of natural light to determine if the space needs

bright, general or directional lighting.

3. USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIGHTS Every room should have a variety of light sources. It’s a good idea to have one main light source like a ceiling light, a secondary light source like a table lamp and a decorative lighting feature like string lights.

4. CHOOSE THE RIGHT LIGHT BULBS Choose warm, neutral or cool lighting to put the finishing touches on your space. If you want to be able to vary the intensity of the light, install a dimmer switch.

Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask a lighting specialist for advice or hire an interior decorator to help brighten your space.

3 questions to ask when choosing a window treatment Window treatments can add warmth and style to your home.

However, before buying new curtains, drapes or blinds, you should ask yourself these three questions.

1. WHAT’S YOUR OBJECTIVE? Make sure you know what purpose the window treatment will serve. For example, do you want it to be primarily stylish or functional? You should also determine if you want a look that’s contemporary or timeless.

2. WHAT’S YOUR BUDGET? If you can afford it, consider hiring a professional designer or decorator to help you choose the right window treatment. If

you have a tight budget, look for inspiration in decorating magazines and websites for reasonably priced options.

3. WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS? Make sure you measure your windows. This way the treatment you choose is sure to effectively block out light and provide the right level of privacy. Additionally, make certain your curtains, blinds or shades are the right length and won’t hang on the floor.

Before making your choice, visit home decor stores in your area for inspiration and advice

How to choose a front door If you want to improve the curb appeal of your home, consider replacing your front door. Here are four things to consider when choosing one.

1. MATERIAL The material you choose for your front door will impact its strength and style. Wood doors are timeless, but they require regular maintenance. Steel doors are durable and affordable, while fibreglass doors are sturdy, energy-efficient and available in many colours. Make sure you research the pros and cons of each material before making your choice.

2. GLAZING Glazed doors add a touch of elegance and allow natural light into your home. However, keep in mind that all-glass doors and those with large glass inserts must be made of reinforced glass to remain secure.

3. INSULATION If you live in a cold climate, it’s important to make sure the door you choose has good insulation. Additionally, a well-insulated door can help block out street noise. Look for an Energy Star certified model to ensure you choose a high-quality product.

4. PERSONALIZATION You can customize your front door with unique hardware and accessories like mouldings,

inlays, handles and locks. You may even be able to personalize the glazing pattern.

To find a door that suits your style and budget, visit your local home improvement stores.

What you should do before buying new furniture Do you want to refresh a room in your home? If so, consider buying new furniture. Here are a few tips for choosing the right pieces for your space.

PREPARE Start by choosing a style of furniture like Scandinavian, contemporary or farmhouse. Then, pick out upholstery and other features that complement the room. Finally, set a budget to narrow down your options.

CONFIGURE To ensure you choose furniture that’s the right size for your

space, measure both the furniture and room.

Use graph paper to draw the room, and then cut out scale models of the furniture to test out different configurations.

Alternatively, you can purchase an interior design app or software to create a three-dimensional replica of your space, and use it to experiment with different layouts.

If you need professional help to create the room of your dreams, look for an interior designer or decorator in your area.

What you should know about paint and wallpaper Painting and wallpapering are two effective ways to transform the look of a room. Here’s some information to help you decide which products to use in your home.

PAINT The finish of your paint is just as important as its colour. A

matte finish is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and ceilings.

However, satin and gloss finishes are stain resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a good idea to take home several paint samples to see how each colour looks in the room.

WALLPAPER Choose a wallpaper that’s suitable for your space. For example, if you’re remodelling your kitchen, choose a wallpaper that’s durable and easy to clean. Moreover, make certain the pattern complements the space and will line up well when installed. Additionally, ensure each roll of wallpaper has the same batch number.

PAINT AND WALLPAPER If you want to combine paint and wallpaper, stick to a maximum of three colours; select a dominant, secondary and accent colour. Additionally, you should choose paint and wallpaper that share a common hue. Make sure you base your colour scheme on a shade in the background or foreground of the wallpaper.

For inspiration and personalized advice, visit your local shops.
