A local mom has filed a complaint with Northern Health after her son suffering from a mental health crisis was kept in the emergency ward at University Hospital of Northern B.C. for five days with no treatment.

“He was there for five nights and on Saturday morning he was texting me and he was still in the hallway, he hadn’t had a shower and the conditions were absolutely deplorable,” Cathy said about her son that will be referred to as Z. “He hadn’t brushed his teeth, hadn’t been given a clean gown, clean sheet or a clean pillow.

He was literally stuck in the hallway in emergency – he never ever made it to the psych ward. It was horrific.”

Z was involuntarily admitted on a psychiatric hold recently as he suffers from manic depression and anxiety. In the past, he has been placed on suicide watch.

In December 2022, School District 57 was amenable to negotiations with the City to lease the newly-built childcare building at 8008 Malaspina Ave. The city learned on April 20 from the school district that it had decided against pursuing the lease.

Acting school superintendent Pam Spooner said the lease agreement at Malaspina was not feasible for the district.

CN fined for wildfires The BC Wildfire Service fined CN Rail for sparking three small wildfires in the Prince George area in April 2020, according to a ruling published online.

In a Dec. 28, 2022 ruling, BC Wildfire Service manager of provincial equipment depots Robert Keddie ordered CN Rail to pay $6937.93 under the Wildfire Act for “causing or contributing to” wildfires.

Between April 22 and April 23, 2020, BC Wildfire Service crews and volunteer firefighters from the Willow River Fire Department extinguished the fires.

“The investigators went on to conclude that the most likely cause of all of the wildfires identified in this case was railway operations carried out by CNR. They reached this conclusion due to the similar proximity of all of the wildfires to the railway tracks, the similar time when the wildfires were reported to the BCWS and… based on a conversation with a CNR employee who described that the CNR train relevant to these wildfires had a ‘hot wheel’ causing sparks to be spread along the rail line,” Keddie wrote.

Death rate after surgery has improved, NH says CHRISTINE DALGLEISH Citizen staff

The death rate after major surgery in Northern Health hospitals has improved since 2021-22, a spokesperson for the health authority says.

Northern Health saw 58.8 per cent more hospital deaths following major surgery in 2021-22 than the B.C. percentage and 49 per cent more than the national average, according to a report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).

The data showed that the Dawson Creek & District Hospital had the highest

rate of hospital deaths after major surgery in Northern Health at 5.3 per cent, while the University Hospital of Northern BC located in Prince George had a rate of 3.6 per cent during that time period.

“So our statistic folks have taken a look at the more current 2022-2023 data that indicates that post-surgical mortality has dropped from the 2021-2022 numbers that CIHI has recorded and it’s returning closer to the numbers seen prior to the pandemic,” the spokesperson said. “UHNBC and Dawson Creek demonstrated those above-average levels uniquely in 2021-2022.”

The Citizen could not verify the 2022-23 data as it is not yet publicly available.

The Northern Health spokesperson also pointed to a poorer health status of the Northern B.C. population, which could have affected the 2021-2022 results.

COVID-19 was also having its greatest impact in the region during that time.

“There were relatively high rates of COVID-19 infections, and hospital admissions and critical care needs,” the spokesperson explained.

Northern Health looks at long-term statistical trends that would indicate ongoing problems, rather than reacting to

short-term results.

“So when we are looking at a single data point, like a single year, it can be somewhat informative but we run into some challenges around the context,” the spokesperson said.

“There are smaller, rural or northern sites with lower volumes of whatever indicator we’re talking about, in this case, mortality post surgery, but those lower volumes of cases can lead to much wider year-to-year fluctuations so a small number of cases either way can mean the difference between a normal or an unusual result.”

Sentence issued for crime spree, wild ride MARK NIELSEN Citizen staff

A Prince George man has been sentenced to 16 months time served for his role in a high-profile crime spree and confrontation with RCMP nearly a year ago.

Kirk Arthur Clark, 36, was issued the term when B.C. Supreme Court Justice Marguerite Church endorsed what was effectively a joint submission from Crown and defence counsels for the May 10-11, 2022 incident.

Clark and co-accused Mark Stephen Barg were the

subject of a manhunt following four break, enter and thefts in the downtown area. The spree began when they stole a pickup truck from a used vehicle dealership and followed up by stealing a licence plate from another vehicle, as well as some tools and a flatbed trailer.

Clark and Barg evaded four separate sets of spike belts and their truck reached speeds of up to 140 km/h while sometimes veering into the opposing lanes, narrowly missing at least two civilian vehicles while doing so.

Clark and Barg eventually abandoned the pickup in an alley between Burden and Alward streets. RCMP did

not give up, however, and by about 6 a.m. the two were apprehended in the 300 block of Carney Street.

Clark remained in custody for about 5 1/2 months following his arrest and was then released to attend a drug treatment facility in Prince George. But he left shortly after and within three weeks was back in custody where he has remained ever since.

Since then, Clark has taken steps to turn his life around, participating in programming while in custody and, despite an “unenviable criminal record,” the hope is that he has learned his lesson, the court was told.

Nanaimo man wins Spruce Kings show home MARK NIELSEN Citizen staff

When he woke up last Friday, Nanaimo logger Bill Sutherland was still a few years away from retirement.

But by noon, when he found he’d won the grand prize in the Prince George Spruce Kings Show Home Lottery, Sutherland’s plans changed in a hurry.

“It’s unbelievable, I’m still kind of wondering that it’s real,” said Sutherland, who bought his ticket on the $880,000 show home online on March 23.

“I’m 61 now and I figured I’d be 65 before I retired but now I’m going to retire this year after Christmas. This sure is a life-changer.”

subdivision, the home at 2834 Links Dr., comes with furniture and appliances, but Bill and his wife Deana won’t be moving in. They plan to sell it and use some of the proceeds to help their two adult children.

They are homeowners in Nanaimo and Deanna quit her job a few years ago as a day care manager to look after her own granddaughter four days a week at their home. The Sutherlands hope to buy a motorhome so they can take advantage of Bill’s early retirement and see the country.

Fifteen minutes before the Show Home draw, Scott Maloney’s ticket was drawn as the winner of the second Mega 50-50 draw. The Prince George resident will receive a cheque for $150,000.

Scott and his wife Amber have three kids, aged 20, 17

and 14. Scott is a construction contractor who owns his own business, Top Corner Plumbing and Heating, and he plans to follow his 14-year-old son’s advice to spend some, save some and invest some of his winnings.

A trip to Nashville this summer and maybe a winter vacation in Costa Rica is in store for the Prince George couple.

When he got the call from Show Home Lottery manager Liz Bennett, Scott thought he’s won the house.

“I had it wrong, I thought the country (radio) station said it was 11:45 for house and 12 p.m. for the 50-50, either way, I’m happy,” said the 46-year-old Scott.

“Me and my wife talked about it the other day and we’ve been buying tickets (on the Spruce Kings home) for 25 years. I’ve never won anything else.”

undemocratic!” and called Beauregard “a dictator”.

Despite the conclusion of Beauregard’s presentation being met with applause from the gallery, the individual continued to shout that, “This whole SOGI thing is division. You are dividing the kids. You are causing divisiveness in this country.”

Weber then asked everyone in the room to leave as the board recessed for approximately five minutes.

What is SOGI? SOGI (pronounced so-jee) stands for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and SOGI-inclusive education exists in all B.C. school district’s including School District. No 57 (SD57).

SOGI is not its own curriculum; instead, it is one aspect of diversity embedded across a range of grades and subjects.

Back on Dec. 31, 2016, all B.C. school districts and independent schools were required by the B.C. government to include specific references to sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) in their anti-bullying policies.

This followed the July 2016 addition of gender identity and expression as a prohibited ground of discrimination under the B.C. Human Rights Code (sexual orientation was already protected).

The Ministry of Education is responsible for the creation of BC curriculum, and resources like SOGI 1 2 3 provide readyto-use, grade level SOGI-inclusive lesson plans that align with the curriculum.

There are 10 key components for effective SOGI-Inclusive policies and procedures: common language (all parties will be well-informed of and equipped with appropriate and respectful language); safety/anti-harrasment (measures that include sexual orientation and gender

identity will impact all students); self identification (students will have the right to self-identification, which includes the name by which they wish to be addressed and the pronouns that correspond to their gender identity); confidentiality (students will have the right to the confidentiality of their sex, gender, and name); dress guidelines (students may express their gender identity or gender expression through what they wear to school); gender integrated and inclusive activities (students can join teams and groups they feel correspond with their gender identity); educator training (knowledge and tools to develop a broad understanding of SOGI and the impact on students); inclusive learning (materials and activities will contain positive images and accurate information about sexual and/or gender diversity); facilities (individuals may choose to use washrooms and change rooms that match their gender identity, including non-gendered single-stall washrooms and change rooms); and inclusive extra curriculars (students will be included in all extra-curricular activities regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, including support to set up a Gender-Sexuality Alliance/Gay-Straight Alliance or similar club).

Increased violence worries school support staff HANNA PETERSEN Citizen staff

Support workers in Prince George schools are facing ongoing workplace violence, according to CUPE 3742 president Paula Bass.

Bass told School District 57 board trustees that workplace violence is not just an issue facing SD57 but a trend that is seen across B.C. and Canada.

“Let me start by saying this in no way condemns SD57. I believe that everyone from senior administration down cares about their staff, their students, and their community.”

She cited a recent WorkPlace BC report that indicated workplace violence has gone up by 25 per cent in the

past five years and found workers in the field of education were second only to those in healthcare.

Bass then asked her CUPE membership for input and received over 100 responses.

“I recognize the fact that some of our students have diagnosis and trauma that makes zero violence unattainable,” said Bass.

“Many things we face would not be tolerated in other professions, yet we are asked to face it time and time again.”

She said this is a problem of sustained abuse, which has a psychological impact.

“Imagine you are a support worker in the district and you wake up and you are dreading going to work. The student you’ve been working with swears at you all the

time and calls you names. Calls you fat, stupid, lazy, that they want to kill you,” said Bass.

“It might not affect you on day one, 15, 30 or 45 but it does have a huge impact eventually on your mental health […] So what do you do? The student belongs in school, has complex issues, and needs supports but you yourself are suffering. You are mentally tired, drained and feeling alone.”

Bass asked that the trustees work to find ways to improve recruitment and retention in the district as vacant support positions leads to a more difficult and hard to manage workload, which contributes to burnout.

“We need adequate support for each and every student in this district. Simply put, there’s not enough of us.”

CBC props up the bureaucratic machinery

E

very so often, our revered public broadcaster, the CBC, is criticized, for one reason or another, and Canadians lose their minds.

The recent debate seems to crystalize around whether the CBC is controlled by government.

Of course, there is no evidence the CBC is controlled by politicians, as countless CBC journalists can attest.

Nor is there a problem with being publicly funded. Both publicly and privately owned media get money from government. If nobody is paying for news anymore, I’d rather we the people pay for our news as opposed to private interests.

The problem is that the CBC, despite being largely publicly funded, doesn’t seem to want to fight for the little guy. It fights for the establishment.

If you pay close attention, the CBC doesn’t take on the bureaucratic machinery and neoliberal culture that anchors political power and which stays in place

THE BACK STORY JAMES STEIDLE

regardless of whom we elect. That machinery time and time again prioritizes big money, neoliberal capitalism, and megacorp economics over the public interest.

To the contrary, it’s a lot of feel-good stories that seem aimed at reaffirming the public’s faith in our institutions and glossing over stories that would undermine them.

Take the CBC’s coverage of John Horgan getting a job at a coal company a couple weeks back. Unless I missed it, there was no suggestion this was a possible quid pro quo, a financial payback for the BC government fighting federal pollution regulations on coal mines under Horgan’s leadership. Instead, the coverage was

LETTER TO THE EDITOR CLIMATE HAS ALWAYS CHANGED Yes, climate is changing, it has always changed and always will. And yes, for nearly a century and a half, we’ve known that CO2 is a greenhouse gas. But for almost as long, we’ve known that, due to the logarithmic nature of the warming effect of CO2, it cannot cause dangerous warming.

Yes, glaciers are retreating, and uncovering remnants of old growth forests both here and in Europe that carbon date to 7,000 years ago, well above today’s tree line. We also know that 7,000 years ago the Sahara was a lush and verdant expanse of marshes, lakes and rivers, teeming with wildlife and humans too.

Humans always thrived during past cyclical warmings.

There’s no reason to think we won’t now. The world has never been a better place for humans - life expectancy and income have been steadily rising. So has the population – we will need to feed up to 11 billion.

While the increased CO2 has little effect on temperature, it does have another very beneficial effect – the greening of the earth. The Global Vegetation Index surged 10% in 20 years. The Sahara Desert has shrunk by 8% over three decades.

Warming is good for us.

Put aside the ‘woke’ label and care for others

A

ccording to Stephen Covey, one of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is to “Seek first to understand, and then to be understood.”

Putting this principle into practice is an important part of treating others with respect. It is very effective in overcoming misunderstandings and it allows us to explore the best solutions to the challenges that we face.

It’s also an effective method for testing the ideas and the agenda of those with whom we are interacting.

Most people find it calming to be listened to. They will articulate their ideas, respond to thoughtful questions and then ask, “What do you think?”

A few people get angry when they are asked to clarify their opinions. In addition, they have no interest in the thoughts of others. These people exist in all groups and even to a degree

LESSONS IN LEARNING GERRY CHIDIAC

in each one of us. Recognizing this helps us to be mindful when discussions go awry.

Many of us remember the Cold War, when questioning the ethics of one’s allies was seen as sedition. Today, there is a platform for a greater diversity of opinion than ever before. In the age of opinionated YouTube, Rumble and TikTok monologues, however, we seem to be forgetting the value of respectful dialogue.

Following the principle of seeking first to understand, I have therefore made a concerted effort to understand the viewpoints of the self-proclaimed “unwoke” or “anti-woke.”

I can see some of their concerns. There are keyboard warriors and angry TikTok-ers

who do not value the opinions of others. Though they may claim to stand for social justice, they are simply practicing meanness and they are not listening. If that is what is being called “woke”, I hope I do not fit into that category.

I also appreciate the criticisms of “woke” social media posts that point out historical inaccuracies. Alternative facts do not serve us because they do not bring us closer to the truth or make the world better.

Other aspects of “anti-woke” discourses are troubling, however.

There is an expressed unwillingness to look critically at the once-dominant historical narrative. Criticisms of colonialism, for example, are often met with, “Why don’t you talk about the good things we did?” No one denies that roads were built, and trade systems were established, but this does not negate the fact

that crimes against humanity were also committed.

When slavery is discussed, I often read, “Others also had slaves. Why are you picking on us?”

What is most unsettling about this perspective is that as a second-generation German-Canadian, I find it reminiscent of views expressed by many Germans in the years after the Second World War. One often heard, “We also suffered” or “Look at what the Russians did to us and how our cities were bombed” or “I had nothing to do with Auschwitz” or “Other countries were antisemitic too” or “We need to just forget the past and move on.”

It wasn’t until the post-war generation came of age in the late 1960s that young Germans began challenging the actions and inactions of their parents and grandparents. In many ways, Germans are still working

off their dark past, but the result is that they now have a much healthier democracy and a country that is praised for its human rights, all the while having one of the world’s strongest economies.

I also do not understand the “anti-woke” criticism of kindness and inclusivity. How is reconciling historical crimes or embracing members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community in any way bad for a society?

All people make mistakes, and it is difficult to find a society that is not guilty of crimes against humanity or even genocide. It is only through courageous introspection and just action that we will build a better world, one where “never again” becomes a reality.

That is not a “woke” or “antiwoke” narrative; it is a simple human truth.

At the Prince George Workers Memorial, Ginny Correia (fourth from left), whose teenaged niece Lindsay Santos died 20 years ago in a sawmill accident, joins the UHNBC Traditional Drummers in their tribute to fallen workers.

Mill accident victim remembered TED CLARKE Citizen staff

Twenty years ago, 18-year-old Lindsay Santos was killed on the job working at a sawmill in Fraser Lake.

She had just graduated from Duchess Park Secondary School and was working her last shift of the summer.

It was Aug. 21, 2003 and her life was cut short only a couple weeks before she was about to start university.

“She wanted to be a lawyer, she joked that the family would need one,” said Ginny Correia, Lindsay’s aunt, who joined her husband Louie at a gathering of about 100 people Friday on the National Day of Mourning at the Prince George Workers Memorial at the base of Connaught Hill.

“She had a great sense of humour and was very smart, very caring, and she was kind.”

The Prince George couple have been attending the National Day of Mourning every year since Lindsay died. The event was hadn’t been held in three years due to the pandemic.

“You’ve got to remember these people, I mean, to die at work, that’s not right,” said Louie Correia “You’re going there for a living and someone that young, doesn’t make sense.”

“We know it happens, especially around here where you’ve got heavy industry, but it’s just sad to hear.

You go to work planning on coming home.”

Mayor Simon Yu and Sheila Malcolmson, the B.C. Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, attended the ceremony with

the UHNBC Traditional Drummers along with the labour leaders, and spokespeople from WorkSafe BC. Yu’s son Jordan was dating Santos at the time she was killed and in his speech to the crowd the mayor acknowledged his ties to her family.

Last year in B.C., five workers in Lindsay’s 15-24 age group died of workplace injuries and illnesses.

There were 181 workplace deaths in B.C. last year, six of which happened in the Fraser-Fort George district.

Traumatic injuries claimed the lives of 74 workers in the province in 2022, including 48 that happened at the worksite and 26 that were due to motor vehicle incidents.

About a thousand Canadians die each year either from injuries or workplace hazards such as asbestos inhalation.

Truck driver training gets funds A Prince George-based trucking firm has been selected to conduct training to produce more truck drivers for northern B.C. through an initiative funded by the provincial government.

Go Team Professional Training LTD., was awarded a $995,000 contract to deliver the driver training program as its commitment to the Community and Employment Partnership project announced Friday by Sheila Malcolmson, B.C. Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction.

“This training program will benefit up to 24 people, including Indigenous people, immigrants and young

people, and help them secure long-term careers in the region,” said Laurie Dillman, who co-founded Go Team Professional Training LTD with her husband Ted. “Our program will help participants gain the driving, safety and essential skills they need to become valuable employees for their future employers.”

In addition to 15 weeks of skills training, which includes meeting the requirement for mandatory entrylevel training (MELT), program participants will get seven weeks of on-job experience from local employers and two weeks of follow-up support to help them prepare for their Class 1 driving exams.

Kings goalie raises money for mental health TED CLARKE Citizen staff

In the three months since Prince George Spruce Kings goalie Jordan Fairlie launched his Lift the Mask on Mental Health campaign, $6,270 has been raised in support of programming put on by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) of Northern British Columbia.

“I’d like to thank the city of Prince George for the unwavering support throughout the duration of my Lift the Mask on Mental Health campaign,” said Fairlie. “I hope these funds will make a significant impact on the lives of those who are struggling with mental health and am looking forward to seeing the positive impact on our community.

“I’m glad to be able to raise awareness on such a critical and underrepresented issue within our society and to provide hope, support, and resources to those in need.”

Back in January, Fairlie pitched the idea and goal of his campaign to the CMHA. Some of the money raised will support CMHA’s Connections Wellness Centre on

Norwood Street and some will be used to develop a peer-to-peer support group in Fairlie’s hometown of Fort St. John.

“It’s been a pleasure to walk beside Jordan in his fundraising efforts,” said CMHA of Northern BC executive director Sarah Lloyd. “We’ve had good talks about community mental health, and he is passionate about supporting the mandate for improved access in our region.”

According to the CMHA, peer support services are an essential part of the full spectrum of mental health services available and have been shown to complement traditional clinical care.

“There was a need for increased support in rural communities around Northern BC, including my hometown of Fort St. John,” said Fairlie. “It brings me immense joy to know that part of the funding from this campaign will go to support the community I grew up in.”

The 20-year-old Fairlie played two full seasons with the Spruce Kings in the B.C. Hockey League and has been recruited to play next season for the University of Toronto Varsity Blues.

Northern B.C. man makes wildlife documentary HANNA PETERSEN Citizen staff

A Prince George-based filmmaker has produced a short film called “Through Our Eyes,” which illustrates the lifestyle of a hunter, but through a wildlife documentary.

Tanner Dannish, who grew up in Dawson Creek but now lives in Prince George, always had the idea to show the nature and beauty of how a hunter tracks on the landscape through a documentary style-film.

He had a limited entry tag to go caribou hunting in northern B.C. and took the opportunity to finally make the film.

“I thought it was a good opportunity to highlight the magnificence of that area and the caribou that really need a lot of effort to help recover.”

The nearly 30-minute film follows Dannish and his friend Jeff Augustino as they traverse the landscape near Atlin, B.C. Dannish funded the film through his handmade sporting goods company called Frontiersman Gear, with

1685 3rd Ave. Prince George, BC

250-563-6637 www.booksandcompany.ca

MAJOR DISCOVERY!

the support of a conservation organization called Blood Origins and the Wild Sheep Society of B.C. “As hunters we are conservationists first,” said Dannish.

“We as hunters, we use a resource which is this land and the waters on it, and because of that we want to conserve it.”

Dannish said the film attempts to show the way of life as hunters, interactions with animals, and the beauty of nature and how conservation and hunting can work together.

BRIEFS

POLICE SHOOT MAN The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. is investigating an incident in Prince George where police had to use an energy weapon and then their firearms to subdue a man who had been reportedly stabbing people.

On April 26, shortly before 9 p.m., Prince George RCMP received a report of a stabbing incident.

Attending officers located a reportedly armed suspect who became aggressive. A conducted energy weapon was deployed, an interaction occurred, and officers discharged their firearms striking the man.

He was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The victim of the initial complaint was also treated at hospital.

The IIO BC is investigating police actions in the incident. As the matter is now under investigation by the IIO BC, no further information will be released by police.

Prince George RCMP are conducting a subsequent investigation into the initial assault complaint.

MURDER CHARGE APPROVED A Dawson Creek man has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with a stabbing death in Prince George.

Braidan Josie Meck, 29, faces the count for a June 11, 2022 incident at a motel on Queensway that led to the death of Devon Myles Lindstrom, 28, Prince George RCMP said. Both the accused and the victim were known to the police and courts.

Second-degree murder implies that act was committed on impulse. To convict a person of first-degree murder, Crown must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the act was planned and deliberate.

The sentence for second-degree murder is life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 10 to 25 years, as determined by a judge. The sentence for first-degree murder is life without chance of parole for 25 years.

Meck also continues to face drug and gun-related charges from an alleged December 2016 incident in Dawson Creek and counts of dangerous driving and fleeing police from an alleged July 2022 incident, also in Dawson Creek. He remains in custody, according to court records.

SPEEDERS NABBED Nearly two dozen drivers who ignored the posted speed limit while passing through a construction zone in the city are now regretting their actions.

Over the span of three hours on Monday, Prince George RCMP’s municipal traffic services unit issued tickets to 23 drivers who exceeded the limit by at least 25 km/h. Police had targeted a stretch of Foothills Boulevard near Cascade Avenue where a city crew was carrying out sidewalk and intersection improvements.

RCMP are also urging drivers to “slow down and move over” when approaching workers and vehicles stopped on roadsides.

Albert Ernest Hlaca November 15th, 1936 - April 25th, 2023 Albert passed away suddenly on April 25th, 2023, at the age of 86 years old. He leaves behind his loving family wife, Muriel Hlaca; 3 daughters, Vesna, Susan (Mark) and Donna (Glenn); only grandson, Zack; sisters, Mira and Maria; a supportive extended family of the Dillabough circle; his life-time friend, Wes White of Prince Rupert, BC. Albert was predeceased by his parents, Miroslav and Ernesta; brothers-in-law, Tony and Stefan; and nephews, Bojan and Zon.

Mike was surrounded by loved ones as he left us in the early morning hours of April 11, 2023.

After attending elementary and secondary school in Prince George, Mike attended UBC for Civil Engineering which he left, to work with his father on the operation of a sawmill on the McGregor River. When the sawmill was sold Mike continued logging on his own, north of Prince George, for several years.

After logging, Mike branched into construction and provided municipal services and roads to sites throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. He also ventured into a International Project in Belize.

Albert was born in Placé, Yugoslavia where he graduated from high school and began chasing his dream of becoming a Journeyman Painter and received his final certification.

Upon fleeing Yugoslavia, Albert resided in Prince George, BC (20 years) where he continued his beloved career until his retirement in Prince Rupert in the year 2000.

Everyone who knew Albert, knew that he absolutely cherished his time out on the ocean in his prized possession, The Swede Bay. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, and all things outdoors. Albert also had a phenomenal soft spot for animals and was rarely seen out of the house without some form of treat in his pocket.

Albert was a very kind and generous person and will be forever missed. He leaves behind a hole that can never be filled.

Obituaries In Memory Of

Edmund Arndt It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edmund (Ed) Arndt of Prince George, BC who passed away peacefully on April 18, 2023 at the age of 82 with his family by his side.

Ed was born Aug 13, 1940, in Ossenholz, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1967 with his wife Ursula and their 2 daughters. They moved to Prince George in 1968, where he started his first business venture as a Rema Tip Top Distributor and then later on creating Fort George Vulcanizing. Ed loved his work and over the years met many wonderful people in the trucking and logging industry.

Ed enjoyed the outdoors, whether it was fishing on the ocean with his cousins, or out hunting with his friends. He was fortunate enough to travel and always had an interesting story to tell about his adventures.

After Ed retired from the tire business, he and Ursula spent many winters as snowbirds in the Yucatan, Mexico where they made many good friends. You could always find Ed shooting the breeze during happy hour at Corral Beach. During his retirement, Ed took to writing and published 3 books - Dogs on My Heels, The Burning Planet, and Yucatan Chronicles.

He is predeceased by his daughter Diana and survived by his loving wife of 59 years Ursula, children Andrea & Danny (Shannon), his grandchildren Shanice, Brandon and Jordan, his brother Horst (Judy), his sister Evelyn (Hans-Toni), his niece and nephews, along with many special friends in Canada & Germany.

Ed will be greatly missed.

We would like to thank Dr. Buchannan, Dr. Rose, Natalie and the entire nursing staff, at the University Hospital of Northern British Columbia in Prince George for taking such good care of Ed. Per his request, there will be no memorial service held.

Chong Won Lim June 20, 1932 - June 4, 2022 Kum Duk (Kay) Lim May 30, 1933 - March 12, 2023 It is with heavy, but loving hearts that we are remembering and honouring the lives of both Chong Won Lim and Kum Duk (Kay) Lim. Dr. Chong Won Lim, passed away peacefully at the age of 89 at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver on June 4, 2022 after bravely battling health issues in his later years.

Kum Duk (Kay) Lim, passed away peacefully, also at the age of 89 at Amica Lions Gate in West Vancouver on March 12, 2023 of natural causes.

They are survived and lovingly remembered by their children David (Kelly) and Clara (Keith), and their beloved grandchildren Katie, Lauren, Alex, and Carson.

Both Chong and Kay were born and raised in Korea. Chong studied medicine at Seoul National University, and Kay studied music at Ewha Women’s University. They moved together to Chicago in 1957 and married there in 1959. In the early 1960s, they made the move to Canada, starting in London, ON, followed by a brief time in Regina, SK. It was in 1964 when they moved to Prince George, BC. This is where they chose to settle and raise their family.

Prince George is where Chong established his solo medical practice as Director of Radiology. As his practice grew, along with his colleagues, he built the radiology department to what is known today, bringing significant advancements to the field of medical imaging throughout the decades of his successful career. He was also well known on the local golf course and ski hills.

Meanwhile, Kay established herself in her own right as a vocal teacher within the community. Her students were highly accomplished at both local and provincial levels. She became well known for her contributions to the music and cultural community. She built her reputation as a vocal soloist, as well as a fundamental member of various choirs in the community, including being one of the founding members of the Prince George Cantata singers.

Both will be remembered for their generosity, loyalty, and commitment, not only to their chosen fields, but also to the community they loved deeply. They were avid travelers, constantly seeking the next adventure. They leave behind their legacies through the CNC scholarship fund and the Prince George Community Foundation.

A private joint service will be held. At the request of family, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation or Alzheimer’s Society.

Richard “Dick” Boulding

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

Graham Robert Haugland Sept. 28, 1964 - April 20, 2023

Dec 4 1935 April 21 2023

Dick was predeceased by his mother Isabelle, father Jack, brother David, sister in law Mary, and in-laws Marie and Steve Nykolaychuk To an amazing husband, dad and papa a piece of you will live on in all of us from your amazing work ethic, to your love of woodworking, sports and music, you will forever be with us. May the music in heaven keep you dancing, till we see you again….

It is with sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Graham Haugland after a courageous battle with cancer.

Graham’s favourite past times centered around his love of cooking, hunting and fishing. Nearly all of his working career revolved around food: be it catering in camps, for friend’s weddings, or for the Brunswick Street Senior Activity Centre where he worked for ten years alongside his commitment to Meals on Wheels for seven years. Time outdoors fishing or hunting in the fall with his wife Nancy and their many buddies, was where he was most content.

Graham was always happy and had a great sense of humour. He had a huge heart and was generous to his last penny. Weddings he catered for friends were all done at no cost. It was Graham’s way of giving. Every Christmas he would bake shortbread cookies for family and the seniors at the centre, who were like family to him and loved him dearly.

While Graham was always happy, it was his wife Nancy that brought him the most joy. Married for twelve years and friends before that, Nancy was his perfect match. She was always there beside him with unconditional love until his final days at Hospice.

Graham, you will be missed.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Brunswick Street Senior Activity Centre, Prince George or Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society.

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of Despair

Graham did not want a service. His wish was for family, friends and those who knew him to have a toast or drop a fishing line and share good memories.

DESIGN TRENDS • HOME IMPROVEMENTS & RENOVATIONS • OUTDOOR LIVING

This season’s hottest interior design trends Are you thinking about redecorating?

Then take inspiration from this season’s hottest design trends. Here’s what to look out for this spring.

COOL COLOURS Coastal hues will rule this season.

Breezy blues, muted greens and pale pinks go perfectly with bold saffron accents. If you prefer neutral hues, opt for cool-toned greys over the warmer beige or greige tones that have been popular in recent years.

WOOD ACCENTS Natural wood is everywhere, from furniture to accessories. This season, the look is natural, not painted. Struc-

tural elements like exposed beams are also big. Opt for darker woods like walnut or teak over pale pine or maple.

BOTANICAL PRINTS While florals are ubiquitous most spring seasons, this year, leafy, tropical prints dominate.

Wallpapered accent walls look fresh with a cheery palm motif and traditional sofa shapes are given a modern update with feathery fern upholstery. If you’re not ready for new furniture or wallpaper, consider framing some vintage botanical prints.

This season’s most popular colours and patterns may be trendy but they’re

also timeless. When you incorporate them into your home decor, you can be sure they’ll look great for years to come.

to grow in and you’ll be able to enjoy your new outdoor space all summer long.

2. Rebuild or refinish the deck. If your deck has seen better days, this is the ideal time to repair or rebuild it. Consider expanding it to create zones for eating, cooking and relaxing.

The best storage solutions for every room in your home Did you finish your spring cleaning only to realize you need more storage space?

Here’s a room by room look at some of the best solutions available.

KITCHEN Install hidden trays under your cabinets to hide chargers, coffee pods and other essentials. In addition, placing pull-out shelves in cupboards will make it easier to organize your items.

BATHROOM Store your cleaning supplies on a Lazy Susan to make them easy to find when you need them. Use baskets to hold things like bath towels or toilet paper.

LIVING ROOM Put a bowl on the coffee table to stylishly corral remote controls, magazines and other items. Additionally, a storage ottoman is perfect for holding throws and pillows.

BEDROOMS Take advantage of the space under your bed by adding drawers or using under-thebed storage boxes.

GARAGE Install overhead racks near the ceiling.

This allows you to incorporate storage in the garage without sacrificing parking space. Use this area to hold stuff you don’t need to access often, like seasonal decorations and sporting gear.

WORKSHOP, OFFICE OR CRAFT ROOM Mount a pegboard above your work area and use it to organize your tools or supplies. By hanging things on the wall, they’ll be easier to find and you’ll free up some room.

In addition, be sure to use the vertical space in your home. Install shelves above doors, get extra tall bookcases and put hooks on the back of closet doors.

3 ways to create an accent wall An accent wall is a striking way to make a room more dynamic. Here are three ways you can add one to your home.

1. Paint. This is the easiest way to create an accent wall. For a subtle difference, opt for varying tones of the same shade. If you prefer a dramatic look, choose a colour that contrasts nicely with the rest of the room.

2. Wallpaper. If you prefer a patterned or textured accent wall, wallpaper is just what you need. Choose a pattern with a colour scheme that matches the rest of the room for an effect that’s pleasing to

the eye.

3. Bricks. Exposed brick walls look great in almost any type of room. If your home doesn’t already have this feature, you can create your own using regular bricks and mortar, or you could mimic the look with textured wallpaper or thin bricks intended as decoration.

Accent walls are the perfect way to play with colour, texture and design in your home. And because they only occupy one wall in a room, they won’t overpower the space they’re in.

How to make your stairs safer Falling down a flight of stairs can lead to a serious injury. In fact, it’s the second leading cause of unintentional injuries worldwide, behind only motor vehicle accidents.

To make sure the stairs in your home are safe, consider implementing the following strategies.

• Add some grip. Stairs made of wood, polished concrete or tile can be slippery. Add some tread using carpet, stair runners or rubber mats. If you prefer the look of bare stairs, there are non-slip coatings available that are simply brushed on like paint.

• Keep the light on. Make sure the lighting in your stairway is at least as bright as that of the surrounding hallways. It’s also a good idea to install nightlights so you don’t miss a step at night.

• Don’t forget handrails. If possible, install handrails on both sides of the stairs.

These should extend slightly from the top and the bottom, be between 34 to 38 inches (85 to 95 centimetres) high and strong enough to withstand the weight of an adult.

• Use a gate. If there are young children or pets in your home, you may want to consider using gates around the stairs. The best ones are attached directly to the wall and

don’t have any bars that can be used to climb over.

Most falls on residential staircases happen because there’s something in the way. For this reason, be sure to keep the steps clear at all times.
