Sign, budget Display gets people In the know on H20 meetings tonight People with ideas about signage in the city are encouraged to attend a public information session being held at city hall on March 29 (tonight) at 6 p.m. “The city’s internal Bylaw Review Advisory Committee (BRAC) has found several areas in which the bylaw is in need of an update or areas that the bylaw could be expanded to include other types of signage,” the city says. Ideas up for discussion include making the bylaw easier to interpret, reviewing current fees to include a sign permit fee, increasing liability insurance, adding provisions to allow off-site signs for commercial and industrial parks, authorizing the bylaw to include the bylaw officers, and authorizing fines by way of a fine schedule. People unable to attend are encouraged to e-mail or write to the city to give input. The sixth public budget meeting will follow at 7 p.m.

SMG signs agreement with Xat’sull Spanish Mountain Gold announced Tuesday it has signed a protocol agreement with the Soda Creek Indian Band (Xat’sull). The agreement addresses the involvement of Xat’sull during the environmental assessment and permitting review process in relation to the development of the SMG project located near Likely, the company said in a press release. Under the agreement, the release says, SMG recognizes and respects Xat’sull’s asserted aboriginal rights and title in the area of the gold project, and Xat’sull recognizes and respects SMG’s rights and interests in the exploration and development of the project. The agreement also re-

flects a commitment by both SMG and Xat’sull for continued engagement in a respectful and collaborative manner. It provides capacity support to Xat’sull for its ongoing involvement in the project, as well as training, employment, and business opportunities. Additionally, the parties have committed to negotiate a more detailed agreement regarding the impacts and benefits associated with the construction, operation and reclamation of a large scale mine development. “We appreciate the respectful and candid manner in which Brian Groves and Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. have dealt with our communi-

ty,” says Xat’sull Chief Bev Sellars. “This agreement gives us the opportunity to have an impact on the environmental assessment process and the construction, operation and reclamation of the mine, should the project proceed to development.” Groves, president and CEO of SMG, echoes Sellars, saying the company is very pleased to have signed the agreement. “Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. views the building and maintaining of strong, functional relationships as a priority with those First Nations in whose traditional territories we operate,” Groves says. “This agreement formalizes our emerging relationship with Xat’sull and

provides a strong framework for open communication, consultation and discussion at each stage of the ongoing development of the Spanish Mountain Project. We are also pleased that this agreement is comparable to the one reached between Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. and the Williams Lake Indian Band, the signing of which was announced last year.” The company wishes to acknowledge the support of Catana Consulting, a Vancouver-based consultant specializing in First Nation engagement activities, whose assistance was instrumental in the successful completion of this protocol agreement.

Agriculture critic visits the Cariboo New Democrat agriculture critic Lana Popham recently finished a tour in 100 Mile House and Williams Lake talking with local land users. Cariboo Chilcotin NDP candidate Charlie Wyse said Friday Popham likened it to “speed dating” because she met with so many different interest groups. “There was a large number of groups that wanted to meet with her,” Wyse said. A press release issued by the NDP noted that ranchers, trappers, farmers, and tour operators shared their concerns about government policies affecting the people, wildlife, and habitat in areas from 70 Mile House to McLeese Lake. Each of the presenters expressed their specific concerns about increased logging, damage to their property from logging equipment, loss of trails, destruction of wildlife habitat, loss of water, and the loss of livelihood for them and their families. “The stories, shared by real people living on the land, were difficult to hear,” Popham said. “These people are environmentalists. They live in harmony with the land and are willing to share it in a sustainable manner with all their neighbours. But government regulations — or the lack of them — are creating serious problems.” Popham noted that the Forest Practices Board has recommended that a hydrological assessment be done before any further logging occurs. The Forest Practices Board report, issued in December 2011, stated that salvage logging was one of the factors contributing to the

unexpected loss of water experienced by Big Creek rancher Randy Saugstad. “I’ve been working closely with Randy Saugstad on this issue for some time,” Popham said. “But it was clear to me after yesterday’s meetings that

Randy’s concerns are shared by many others in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. More than 30 people took the time to meet with me. “They came prepared to share their concerns about land-use prac-

tices in the Cariboo and Chilcotin areas. They also came prepared to work together collaboratively with forest companies to find a solution. I was very impressed with their knowledge and their willingness to seek solutions

and not assign blame.” Popham said Adrian Dix and the New Democrats will continue to work with ranchers and others to advocate for proper stewardship and regulation in the Cariboo and Chilcotin areas.

Monument a symbol of what’s possible: Hansen Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Under sunny skies the community of Williams Lake gathered Monday for the unveiling of the Rick Hansen monument at the Tourism Discovery Centre. Standing 12 feet high, the monument is basically a copper globe supported by four metal pillars, which some observers have said resembles the Olympic torch podium. A thick strand of copper traces the route of the original Man in Motion Tour. “To have this as a symbol that we’re not done, that we still have such a long way to go. It represents Williams Lake connected to the global community. The world is much smaller today than it was 25 years ago. It’s not about an individual, it’s about all of us that had that original dream that we were pursuing, and how we’re all connected,” Hansen said after the monument was unveiled. The monument, he added, is a symbol of what’s possible when people work together.

Dignitaries gather around Rick Hansen and the monument erected at the Tourism Discovery Centre in honour of his achievements. The monument was unveiled during a public ceremony on March 26.

The ceremony began with a traditional welcome and presentation delivered by Esket’emc Chief Fred Robbins and members of his community, followed by speeches from Mayor Kerry Cook, Coun. Surinderpal Rathor and Ross MacLean, general manager of Gibraltar Mine. Robbins gave Hansen a framed photograph of a pictograph, believed to depict Simon Fraser’s tour of the Fraser River. “He was one of the

first people to come up the Fraser River with a horse and on the pictograph it’s a man with a horse and you can see the horse’s tracks,” Robbins said, adding they call the picture Travels Far Man, and that it seemed appropriate for the Man in Motion to receive a copy. He also gave Hansen a pair of buckskin gloves, handmade by a young member of the community, who received his instructions from an elder.

“I don’t know about you, but it’s so exciting to be this close to a change maker,” said Cook as she inched her way toward him during her speech. “I felt in my heart yesterday at the celebration as I listened to his words and what he’s accomplished that if I only got close enough that some of that might wear off on me. It really shows the importance of having a dream and never letting go,” Cook said. Everyone here be-

lieves in what Hansen has done and what he stands for, she added. Coun. Surinderpal Rathor announced that $68,000 in pledges had been collected from community sponsors. “There was not a single person that said no they couldn’t help when I came asking for donations,” Rathor said. “He (Hansen) has put Williams Lake on the map.” The list of donors was extensive. A few of the largest donations came from Taseko Mines

Limited, $25,000: Axis Family Resources, $10,000; and Fountain Tire Mining Service $10,000. Rathor informed the crowd that some white rocks and lighting still need to be added at the monument, which is entirely wheelchair accessible. “You have made this community wonderful,” he told Hansen. MacLean said Hansen was a hero, not only in Williams Lake, but all over the province and the country. “Through your high standards, you have set an example for everybody, an example for everyone to live up to. It’s an honour to be here to represent Gibraltar and Taseko and I think I speak on behalf of all the other contributors that it’s really been a privilege to support this monument and that represents all the values you represent,” he said to Hansen. As the tarp was removed to uncover the monument there was a loud cheer and applause from the crowd. “Thank you so much

to the city to take time and honour our 25th anniversary in such a special and meaningful way. This city is such an incredible community of people that care and encourage each other and take time to make a difference,” Hansen said. Williams Lake made a difference in his life and supported the Man in Motion tour, he added. “In reality, even though we’re celebrating 25 years of progress, we’re also still on the pathway to the ultra marathon of social change. Another 25 years of hard work and determination until our community is 100 per cent inclusive for people with disabilities, until we find a cure for spinal chord injury,” Hansen said. The monument, he suggested, is a monument to everyone with challenges and reminds them they are not alone. “Every time I come back home I’ll see this and will be reminded that my best work’s still in front of me and I’ll be encouraged to keep going and never give up on my dreams.”

Seniors ask council for improved HandyDART services Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Seniors in Williams Lake are asking for extended HandyDART services. “We’d like to see HandyDART hours increased,” said Audrey MacLise of the Seniors Advisory Council. “Right now they go 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. If we’ve got appointments, we don’t know if we’ll be done by then. We’d like to see it increased to 5 p.m., and to six days a week.” Speaking on behalf of a delegation of seniors

who attended the city’s public budget meeting Thursday, MacLise also told council having the service available on Saturdays would be helpful. “Many events take place on Saturdays and we can’t get there,” she said. “As a city you have to think about it. We really have to have an extended HandyDART service. It’s wonderful because it takes you door-to-door,” she said. She also suggested that a handicap taxi service be restored to the community. “We haven’t had a

handicap taxi for three years. One handicap lady single-handedly raised the money to buy a handicap taxi, but she’s since passed away,” MacLise explained, adding she has been in conversation with a local taxi operator who would be interested in offering the service. In addition, MacLise talked about the taxi saver program — where tickets can be purchased from B.C. Transit to help subsidize the cost. “Say the fare is $12. You produce the ticket, and you will pay $6. The taxi company gets

the rest back from B.C. Transit. It’s a good idea because people could buy a book of tickets even as a gift for seniors. “That’s been a good service, but people don’t know about it,” MacLise said. People in the community are phoning her continually to find out if the community will be getting another handicap taxi, she said. “We are at the point where we really want something to happen. Kamloops has five, Prince George has one and other cities have one

too.” MacLise suggested that the DriveABLE testing for seniors has forced more seniors to become reliable on public transit because they are losing their licenses. “I received calls from the Kootenays and Alexis Creek last week from people who have lost their licenses,” she said. Another concern is the fact that the tests are taken on a touch screen computer. “If you’ve never sat in front of one before, it’s pretty daunting,” she said. She added that people needing to take the tests

have to travel to Prince George or Kamloops because those are the nearest centres offering them. In the future the courses will be offered in communities to help seniors get accustomed to the testing, and MacLise has advocated that Williams Lake be on the top of the list. After hearing from MacLise, council tasked staff with making a report on the cost of extending the present HandyDART service to reflect the additional 17 hours of service being requested.

Council had heard during the budget discussions that in 2012 the city will have to pay $30,590 toward the $435,700 operating transit budget to cover losses. Taxation at $277,870, fees and charges at $187,720 and grants of $700 are used to offer transit. Council also noted the regional manager of transit will be in the city to meet with staff and council so they will be able to ask questions about the logistics of extending HandyDART services at that time as well.

PULL OVER FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES

Recent incidents involving emergency vehicles have prompted the Williams Lake Fire Department to remind residents to pull over when an emergency vehicle is approaching with lights and siren on. The British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act, Section 177, states: “On the immediate approach of an emergency vehicle giving an audible signal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle, and showing a visible flashing red light, except when otherwise directed by a peace officer, a driver must yield the right of way, and immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the nearest edge or curb of the roadway, clear of an intersection, and stop and remain in that position until the emergency vehicle has passed.”

A reminder that dog licenses must be renewed before March 31, 2012 to avoid an extra $10 fee At two months of age all dogs must be licensed in the City of Williams Lake. License Fees: Spayed or neutered dog $10.00 Unspayed or unneutered dog $20.00 Late application fee (after March 31st) $10.00 plus regular license fee Replacement license tag $5.00 Aggressive dog $200.00 If your dog is not currently correctly licensed and is impounded a $50.00 fee will be added to your total. (this is in addition to the licensing, impounding and boarding fees). Your dog’s license is valid for one year from January 1st to December 31st. You are advised to buy your new license ahead of time but are responsible for purchasing whether or not you receive a renewal notice. Dogs’ licenses are their ticket home. Please ensure contact information with the City is up to date. It also lets other citizens know that a dog at large has a home and is not a stray. The money collected for dog licensing goes in to the Williams Lake BCSPCA and the Animal Control Bylaw Services.

Benefits of a City of Williams Lake dog license:

• Reunites dogs with the owner • Deliver public education programs • Help neighbors resolve their animal related conflicts Means your dog will spend less time in the shelter which reduces stress and minimizing the risk of contracting a disease Licenses may be obtained at the following locations: City Hall Total Pet 450 Mart Street 32 North Broadway Williams Lake Williams Lake 250-392-2311 250-398-6300

Here’s how to help: • Signal, pull over to the nearest edge of the road on the approach of an emergency vehicle and stop • If at an intersection, move out of the intersection if it is safe to do so, and then stop at the edge of the road until the emergency vehicle has passed • Check for additional emergency vehicles before pulling back out onto the roadway • Use your rearview mirror(s) frequently to monitor for emergency vehicles approaching from the rear • You may see an emergency vehicle before you hear it. Be attentive to the flashing lights. It will give you more time to select a safe place to pull over

Rick Hansen an inspiration

The power of independence

hat a weekend! Three events with Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay, including an amazing celebration Sunday night, the unveiling of the new monument Monday, and the send-off from City Hall Tuesday morning. T h e End of From the Day CelMayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ebration Chair CommitKerry Cook tee, the volunteers and entertainers, and city staff did an outstanding job welcoming Hansen to our community. Many thanks also to Coun. Surinderpal Rathor, who collected $68,000 for the monument from generous businesses and individuals. We are so proud and so fortunate to have a hometown hero like Hansen, who has done so much for spinal cord research and accessibility awareness, and who inspires us all to be changemakers. In addition to being a Rick Hansen Relay medal bearer, one of our own local changemakers will be honoured again on Friday for all she has done for our communities. ShirleyPat Gale will receive the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal from the Lieutenant Governor Friday at Government House. She has done fantastic work with the Daybreak Rotary Club in setting up a library in Toosey, promoting literacy, and volunteering in the community. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honoured to call Gale a friend, and she truly is an example of a changemaker in our community. Congratulations, Gale! I served soup at the Salvation Army at lunchtime last week, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to invite people to volunteer as well. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fulfilling and rewarding experience, and your time and friendliness make a big difference to Salvation Army clients. Another piece of good news: Spanish Mountain Gold has signed a second protocol agreement with a local First Nation as it works towards a mine near Likely. This latest agreement is with the Soda Creek First Nation; the company signed an agreement with the Williams Lake Indian Band last year. I look forward to continued co-operation and the eventual opening of the mine! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

All are at fault Volunteer: noun 1. a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking; 2. a person who performs a service willingly and without pay. That definition alone is proof the education system is broken in this province â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and everyone is to blame. Politicians are to blame for creating an underfunded, under-supplied system, all while floating big ideas like â&#x20AC;&#x153;the world has changed. The way we educate our children should, too.â&#x20AC;? Teachers are to blame because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve continued to prop up that broken system with their own time and money. Parents are to blame because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to not only accept that volunteering and personal cash outlay teachers are doing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting it to happen, as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of the job description. Everyone knows this didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen overnight, but it has brought us to this impasse that is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite what the teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union says â&#x20AC;&#x201D; definitely hurting our kids. But, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stop here and go back to that quote in the third paragraph, the grand pronouncement by the provincial government about how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing how we teach our kids. Consider technology.

How many of our kids are working on computers at school that are donated castoffs from other places running software that is several versions old? I talked with one teacher who said his students prefer to do much of their technology-dominated work at home because their own computers are better than the ones we have in classrooms. When it was announced earlier in the school year that report cards wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be issued with marks because of the job action, plenty of parents complained to me. They asked: How dare they do that? How will I know how my kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing in school? Parents are to blame for the dysfunction because, if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on with their own kids, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not engaged, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not part of the system. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the problem.

he last day before the legislature broke for spring break a cabinet minister was forced to resign his seat due to misconduct. The first day back after the break a former cabinet minister resigned from the Liberal caucus, claiming the Liberal Party has lost its integrity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a fun time for the Liberal â&#x20AC;&#x153;brandâ&#x20AC;? in B.C. John MLA van DonMusings g e n â&#x20AC;&#x2122; s Bob Simpson departure from the Liberal Party and caucus has once again profiled the unhealthy nature of party discipline and the demands placed on party MLAs to put the interests of their political brand over those of their constituents or the province as a whole. In this case, MLA van Dongenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure from the Liberal caucus has allowed him to raise publicly the questions he was raising privately (for some time) within his caucus: questions about the premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in the sale of BC Rail and why the Liberal Party had taxpayers foot the bill for Basi and Virkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defence during the B.C. Rail trial. MLA van Dongenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new status as an Independent has also raised questions about the effectiveness of Independents in the Legislature (despite the fact that van Dongen stated he is now a BC Conservative, he will sit as an Independent until the next election), which has given Vicki Huntington and me an opportunity to speak to this issue and argue for more Independents as one of the ways we can improve our democracy. As MLA van Dongen will soon find out, being an Independent will give him many more opportunities to speak in the legislature than he experienced as a government member. He will also have the freedom to speak his mind on issues that matter to his constituents and on public policy issues that matter to him and British Columbians. There is power in being an Independent MLA; a power comes from being unfettered from the partisanship and power politics that permeates the party system. Bob Simpson is the Independent MLA for Cariboo North.

Rick Hansen, we are so proud Question of the week Editor: Rick, this speech is for you, with our love and admiration: Twenty five years have passed since you started out on your courageous adventure around the world to try to make the world a better place for injured persons to live, and you have succeeded. You have opened many doors that were closed tight for injured persons. You have shown people that though the body is injured, the mind becomes stronger and there are so many jobs available for a strong mind. We are all so proud of you and

your accomplishments. When a person is injured as you were, God comforts you in ways you least expect, if your eyes and heart are open to receive it. I, Rick, am your mother and I am so proud of you. I sat quietly when you went around the world and worried as moms do, but I neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have worried. You came through with shining colours. When you came in to B.C. Place, you made those in wheelchairs so proud of you. It was wonderful, and British Columbians did a wonderful job to welcome you home, and I want to say we salute

Williams Lake for all they have done to help you, Rick, to accomplish your goal. The little Cariboo town that cried and recovered beautifully. So carry on, my son. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure your journey isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over yet. People need your caring finger and so do we. Love you Rick, so much, and God loves you too. Joan Gibson Williams Lake Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This speech, provided to the Tribune from Joan Gibson, was read out by Gibson at a recent luncheon when Rick Hansen was in Williams Lake.

Follow example, put the past behind us Editor: Â Thanks to all for taking the time to read what I record as my opinion on a host of subjects. In the narrow interpretation of being narcissistic, in love with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell my wife of 54 years. I guess I have had her fooled these many years. Can a child born at the peak of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic depression, a time when every rural family was virtually destitute, have no understanding regarding poverty? Can a child born of that same period not know about diseases, prior to government immunization programs? Can a person who found his first employment on a dairy as a nine-year old not know something of young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to earn money to purchase the things of their peers? Later can this same child of 14, having started his own car wash

business where he employed fellow children, not know something of other childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wants? Can a child, who was picked up and taken to an isolated country road and sexually molested and somehow survived, not have some empathy for children in environments that they have no control over? Child abuse wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known in my childhood. It was just everyday acceptable at home and school sometimes, a rather cruel punishment.Â Can a person who formed his own profitable enterprise as a 20-year old not know something about motivation, enterprise, and creating employment opportunities for others? Can a person who has had to deal with a government that arbitrarily took land away from him and paid a pittance for that land not know a little something about how government sometimes un-

fairly works? Can a person who has had to fight with a large B.C. corporation to remove infrastructure off his property so that the property could be developed not know a little something of how some large corporations also at times work?Â Can a person who has spent years as a service provider working with many native populations on the Central Coast, Chilcotin, and Cariboo not have learned something of the life, times and economy within these communities? With no political affiliations, I am a dedicated free enterpriser, a visionary. Enough with the bafflegab and living in the past. Follow Rick Hansenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s example and put the past behind us. Pick up the tools. The world is waiting for the changes we, too, can make. Â Doug Wilson Williams Lake

To be forgiven, you have to forgive Seniors taking driving test forced to drive certain kinds of vehicles Editor:

I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but see a notice put up at work. The Salvation Army was starting a program for anyone addicted. I thought to myself, this is a long time coming. But good things happen always at the right time. Myself, I was addicted for many years. I came to a point where I was in the hospital. They told me that they would do everything they could for me, but I may be going through the basement. But one thing was for sure. They said the next time I would not be so lucky. Luckily enough, my employer saw that I had a problem and strongly advised me that if I wished

LETTERS ALWAYS WELCOME

to stay employed to go into a treatment program. After completing 28 days of treatment I enrolled myself in a 12-step program. I was able to stay sober, very successfully. But there was always that thing, that little voice in the back of my head that says, well, you can drink. Even though I could quote the steps off by heart and recite page per page, I was not a happy camper. I came to realize that I have a lot of hate and vindictiveness but there was no way to get rid of this one. Sunday, sitting in my kitchen, I said to myself, why am I doing this? There was a knock on my door from someone asking me if I want ed to go to church. I thought I have

nothing to lose, so I took him up on his offer. I will never forget what pastor Dave Blakely talked about that day. It was like God is all forgiving and I realized that I had to forgive other people in order for me to be forgiven, in case he comes into your life and gives you a new one. One that is not filled with hate, the way it is today. I read the Parsons Pen and I hear it on Sundays. Often Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone head to head with the pastor on programs of recovery. But the bottom line is God loves you. He made his point by coming here and showing us. He still is here and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a prayer away. Ken McKellan Williams Lake

Editor: MLA Donna Barnett, in her column, did not mention a detail that Minister Shirley Bond gave in a TV interview: Â the â&#x20AC;&#x153;additional onroad evaluationâ&#x20AC;? will be done in a vehicle with dual brakes. That means that the elderly driver, who has trouble with a touchscreen test, will be able to get over that by driving an unfamiliar car, perhaps an automatic, which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never driven, or a compact car when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to a huge ve-

hicle. Â Why doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the government just go whole-hog and have them tested in something like an articulated timber-skidder? One of the news articles mentioned that the company (from Alberta?) giving the test is the only one in North America that does it. This leads me to believe that few if any other governments have seen the need to spend taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; funds on this type of contract. Hal Giles Williams Lake

‘Mickey Mouse’ scammers phone senior Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer

Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Williams Lake senior Pat Cassidy recently received a seniortargeted phone scam.

Pat Cassidy chuckles when she tells the story of receiving a seniorstargeted phone scam — just because it was so ridiculous — but says it’s important to let seniors know about such incidents. There are people out there losing thousands of dollars to scams, and seniors embarrassed to admit they’ve been victims, the Williams Lake senior says. “This female voice said ‘hi grandma.’ I’ve only got one granddaughter so I said, ‘Hi Paige. How are you?’ I got so excited I started asking her some questions,” Cassidy says of the scam call. She asked her if she’d gone with her mom to buy some new shoes, and the caller said she had and described them. Then she proceeded to tell Cassidy she was in Montreal. That her friends were going to Montreal to a wedding, and had an extra plane ticket because a friend could not make it at the last minute. “Since the passage was paid for, they brought me to Montreal,” the caller said. Moments later, the caller asked if she could share a secret with Cassidy, and by then Cassidy realized something was

amiss. Aware of phone scams, however, she thought perhaps she could keep the caller on the phone until her husband returned home and he could help her trace the call by using his cellphone. The caller proceeded to explain her plight to Cassidy. “I was driving this car and another car drove in front of me and I had a bit of an accident. I was driving because my friend had too much to drink and she asked me to drive,” the caller explained, and by this time Cassidy was biting her lip. Her granddaughter, after all, is only 11 years old. The caller told her the good news was the judge was letting her off scott free, that she would not have anything on her driving record, but the bad news was she had to

pay for the damage to the car. Cassidy asked if she had the money, to which the caller replied she did, but needed it immediately. “I can pay you back tomorrow, she told me, and asked if I could talk to her lawyer,” Cassidy said. Cassidy told her to ask the lawyer to call her back and she hung up the phone. The lawyer did call her back, yet when she asked for his name, he said “Mickey Mouse.” He knew she was on to him, she figures. Immediately she called the RCMP to report the scam and told her to tell all her friends to make them aware of similar scams. It’s an old scam, yet 170 seniors have reported scams, she says. Two or three days lat-

er her husband got a call too and when he heard the voice say “grandpa,” he got angry and hung up the phone. “To think that some seniors are taken in is sad,” Cassidy says. Sgt. Richard LeBeuf of the Williams Lake RCMP says they get the odd call once in the while but not on a regular basis. “We direct those that do call us to contact the Phone Busters Program. I believe as a result of public notices and articles the public are getting wiser when it comes to these scams. They know that if it sounds too good to be true, chances are it is not true,” LeBeuf says. The city’s safer communities co-ordinator Dave Dickson gets the odd report as well as his association with business watch. Dickson recently cir-

culated a Top 10 list of scams and financial elder abuse was listed as number four. The abuse occurs when seniors’ pocketbooks are exploited by scammers who take advantage of a person’s vulnerabilities associated with age — like hearing loss, loneliness, physical limitations and impaired mental capacity. “Common financial elder abuse frauds include tricking seniors into giving out private banking information; encouraging unnecessary home repair work, telemarketing and mail fraud; and swindles by family or friends that result in seniors giving up money, property, personal information and decision-making capacity,” the list stated. Most elder abuse happens to a senior by someone they know, such as a family member, friend or caregiver. Many victims do not even realize they have been taken advantage of. Signs a senior is being financially abused include: missing belongings, unusual activity in bank accounts, suspicious stories, sudden changes in Power of Attorney or Wills, bounced cheques and numerous unpaid bills. Report all incidents of financial elder abuse to your local police.

WEEKLY

MORTGAGE SENSE 4 Ways to Boost Your Credit! Planning ahead to ensure your credit is healthy before applying for a mortgage can translate into a better mortgage rate and product. Following are four steps you can use to help attain a speedy credit score boost: 1) Pay down credit cards. The number one way to increase your credit score is to pay down your credit cards. Credit cards seem to have a more significant impact on credit scores than car loans, lines of credit, and so on. 2) Limit the use of credit cards. Racking up a large amount and then paying it off in monthly instalments can hurt your credit score. If there is a balance at the end of the month, this affects your score – credit formulas don’t take into account the fact that you may have paid the balance off the next month. 3) Act within the statement period:. If your lender is slower at reporting monthly transactions, this can have a significant impact on how other lenders may view your file. Your best bet is to pay your balances down or off before your statement periods close.

LET US PLAN YOUR PARTY! APRIL 14TH & 15TH

4) Don’t let mistakes build up. You should always dispute any mistakes or situations that may harm your score. If, for instance, a cell phone bill is incorrect and the company will not amend it, you can dispute this by making the credit bureau aware of the situation.

Kids Running for Kids, sporting their new bright red track suits, joined medal bearer and KRFK organizer Rya Enns Tuesday morning for her portion of the 25th Anniversary Relay, prior to it making its way south of the lakecity. Around 50 of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 70 kids joined Enns in the relay. Kids Running For Kids are running from Williams Lake to Vancouver, relay style, this summer to raise money for B.C. Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital.

Judo club â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;throwsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual fundraiser Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer Williams Lake Judo Club members tested their stamina, strength and resolve this past Monday participating in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second annual Judo Throw-A-Thon. The event, which came about last year after WLJC sensei Jeff DiMarco came up with the idea for a fundraiser, essentially, involves all club members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; young and old â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pairing up and taking turns throwing one another throughout a timed portion. Family, friends and peers came out to the Mackenzie Avenue club to watch as adult athletes threw for five minutes, while juniors threw for three. Prior to that, members were out in the community collecting pledges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some being pledged based on how many throws they could complete in the allotted time frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our club normally runs solely on membership dues so this throwa-thon really saves our bacon,â&#x20AC;? DiMarco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Members collected pledges from family and friends and the workplace.â&#x20AC;? So far, DiMarco said, fundraising totals havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been finalized; however, he added the fundraiser looks like it will keep the club running through-

out the summer months when they close down for the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what judo is, especially in North America,â&#x20AC;? DiMarco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very popular in other parts of the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 3 in Brazil, No. 2 in France behind soccer, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the school P.E. curriculum in Japan and very popular in Europe, Russia and Korea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even little Mongolia is putting out great judo players.â&#x20AC;? In Williams Lake, judo is mainly a fall to spring sport, DiMarco said, and could be great off-season training for summer athletes. One important aspect of judo utilized by all who took part in the throw-a-thon is falling properly. DiMarco said it is the most important part of judo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It keeps one able to participate in the sport,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was lots of throwing but no injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could save you when you fall off your bike, or down the stairs, or slip on the ice.â&#x20AC;? DiMarco added, on behalf of the club and all its members, a thank you to all who pledged and donated money to the event. Greg Sabatino photo

Williams Lake Bantam T-wolves coach Steve Carpenter said he thinks his team was capable of beating all the teams they played; however, he said they came out flat. “It was just one of those weekends where things just weren’t good for us,” Carpenter said. “We just didn’t seem to play the way we can.” The bantams lost 2-0

2012 Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association Awards

Both the Williams Lake bantam and peewee tier 2 rep hockey teams left the recent provincial championships with their heads held high, despite not performing as well as they had hoped. The Williams Lake Peewee Tier 2 Timberwolves finished its tournament, hosted in Penticton March 18-22, with one win, two losses and a tie. The Williams Lake Bantam Tier 2 Timberwolves, playing in Trail from March 18-21, lost three round robin games and were eliminated from playoff contention. The Peewee T-wolves arrived at the tournament a determined bunch; however, they lost a heartbreaker, 8-6, in its opening contest to Mission. Mission erased a 3-0 first-period Williams Lake lead and fought back in the win contest. Scoring for Williams Lake was Dane DuBois with a hat trick, while William Paynton, Conley Pinette and Tyler

Skaters compete at provincial Super Series Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Williams Lake Figure Skating Club sent four of its skaters to the Super Series March 23 in Surrey — the annual provincial skating championship. Amanda Lane, 10, Dawn Henley, 13, Ashley Beauchamp, 15, and Breanna Davidson, 15, represented the region as part of a group of 10 skaters who qualified. Both Lane and Davidson competed in different divisions, while Beauchamp and Henley skated in junior bronze women. Lane finished seventh in the preliminary division, with Davidson taking 10th in junior silver women.

In junior bronze, Beauchamp finished 10th, while Henley took 11th. Williams Lake Figure Skating Club coach Joanne Macnair said the competition was tough but was proud of the way her skaters competed. “This was the top skaters in the province,” Macnair said. “It’s fairly elite. “That said they all skated well and made a good showing. I was happy with how they all skated, so that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day.” The competition was streamed live online, and featured skaters in multiple age groups from around the province.

“I think losing the first one kind of deflated the kids a bit,” he said. “But I think they recognize as a team if

we’d played our game and played hard we probably would have beat them.” This year’s bantam rep team was the first from Williams Lake to qualify for a provincial

tres,” he said. “Next year our firstyear bantams this year, plus our second-year peewees this year, will hopefully get to experience it [provincials] again.”

Big Creek postman on the job 50 years COMMUNITY NOTEBOOK

Veera Witte Bonner Special to The Tribune Brud Lee has carried the mail to Big Creek from the Hanceville Post Office once a week for 50 years. He took over in 1962. To honour Brud on this special occasion, a surprise dinner was planned for March 17 at the Big Creek Hall. As a cover up, he and his wife Anne were invited to Wayne and Trena Plummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home, supposedly for supper. On the pretense of picking up a package, Wayne lured Brud to the Big Creek Hall. Being a quiet, unassuming man, Brud was totally taken aback when he opened the hall door to a loud round of applause. A clamour of clapping, shouting and singing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a jolly good fellow,â&#x20AC;? filled the crowded hall. Club president Ernie Perrie escorted the honoured couple to the head table for the meal. Brud, whose given name is Norman but goes by his nick name, was presented with a framed photo of himself by his mail truck and a certificate suitably inscribed. Canada Post also recognized Brudâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years of service with a gift of appreciation. The Big Creek hall was crowded with friends and family with some coming from Hanceville, and as far away as Williams Lake. Congratulations Brud. Long live the mailman! The following poem was written and recited for this special occasion by Veera Bonner: Brud Lee has carried the Big Creek mail For fifty years, and so Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say THANKS to Norman ... Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his real name you know. Up over the Big Creek Mountain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Some folks call it a hill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You could see horses or cattle there For its ranching country still. Though mud, snow drifts, or blockades The Royal Mail gets through â&#x20AC;&#x201D; And for fifty years, from Hanceville, Brud itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been up to you. So, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tip of the hat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; And a doff of the cap, And a country yell for you: Postman, mailman, Norman Brud, Thank you !!

Glendale Junction joins Border Band in concert Kari Johnson Special to The Tribune The bands Glendale Junction and the Border Band will give concerts on two nights next week at the Williams Lake Studio Theatre. The concerts will be on Tuesday, April 3 and Wednesday, April 4 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Williams Lake Studio Theatre. The public is welcome to attend. Admission is by donation of a non-perishable food item. There will be a concession available at the door with all proceeds going to the Glendale PAC. In January, a group of 25 eager intermediate students from both the French Immersion and English programs at Ecole Glendale Elementary began a musical journey. Under the guidance of LeRae Haynes, formerly of Borderline, the students have become a coun-

try-rock band know as Glendale Junction. The name is very fitting as this has been a wonderful opportunity for students from both programs to come together and have fun! The students are very enthusiastic and love that Haynes allows them to be the focus on stage. The students not only sing, they introduce all songs and they play instruments as well! The group has been meeting weekly for an hour with Haynes and various members of the Border Band in preparation for two evening concerts to be held in April. The Border Band made up of five local musicians from a wide range of backgrounds and musical styles will be joining Glendale Junction on the stage. The group played with local kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; singing group Borderline in Williams Lake for several years, and the members also have other

musical groups and projects. Rick Kokesch plays 12-string acoustic guitar, and brings an easy country-style sound to the mix. He is a strong believer in the value of a positive musical experience for kids and has enjoyed watching the increase in self confidence and skill in kids over the years as they work with seasoned musicians and enjoy fun stage opportunities. Ken Yarema is the bass player for the group, and along with Dan St. Amand, lead electric guitar player, has been seen on stage over the years with a band most recently called Lava Lamp and the Mood Poodles, for events like the Harvest Fair and Performances in the Park. Piano player and singing director LeRae Haynes is a partner in local music group Perfect Match, which plays concerts, fundraisers and dances throughout the Cariboo. She also directed Borderline for 26 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a group of 20-30 kids

singing with a country/rock band. Passionate about giving kids the chance to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sing in a bandâ&#x20AC;? in a positive environment, she is thoroughly enjoying this experience with Glendale Junction. She also wrote two of the songs that the group will perform: The Frog and Hey Galahad. Drummer Mark Law played with Borderline for two years and was delighted to come on board and play with Glendale Junction for these performances. His daughter, Megan, sang in Borderline while he was the drummer, and the opportunity to play in a band with her was something he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a great experience to play music with kids â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we all learn something and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This experience is something that these kids will carry with them all their lives and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just glad to be a part of it.â&#x20AC;?

Menopause and its symptoms and treatment options will be the discussion topic at the next Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Contact Society lunch time information session from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3.

Film club screens I AM Tuesday Krista Liebe Special to The Tribune First of all I would like to thank the people who had asked me to bring this film to our club. You were so right. And now I am happy to say that the next film the Williams Lake Film Club will be screening this coming Tuesday, April 3, is I AM, a documentary by the American director/writer Tom Shadyac. It will be shown at the Gibraltar Room at 7 p.m., Back doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tom Shadyac is a person we probably least expect to make such a film, a documentary at that. He was the youngest writer ever to work for Bob Hope. He then advanced and worked with Jim Carrey and Eddy Murphy, directing and writing such well-known films as Liar Liar, Ace Ventura, Bruce Almighty, and he made an insane amount of money doing this, enough to afford a

Photo submitted

The film club is bringing in the film I AM by Tom Shadyac on Tuesday. 17,000 square-foot home and many toys. He had it made; he lived a life of fame and greed. And then the unthinkable happened. He had a very serious accident riding his bicycle and incurred some very serious injuries, especially to his head. After months of trying to recuperate he started asking some different questions, not only how do I get better, but: “What’s wrong with our world?” and “What can we do about it?”

With a team of four and his equipment he set out to ask these two questions of some of the great minds of our times, including authors, poets, teachers, religious leaders, and scientists, all actually searching somehow for the fundamental endemic problem that causes all of the other problems. Some of these great minds are: Dr. Noam Chomsky, Desmond Tutu, David Suzuki, Howard Zinn, Lynn McTaggart, and many others, even his own fa-

ther. From the beginning to the end the film is fast paced, beautifully photographed in many, even exotic, locations. The settings are simple or elaborate, the language is clear and to the point, and Shadyac is great as the seeker. He really wants to know, and so do you. You can hardly wait for his next question and the next answer. There he is, in his scuffed sneakers, jeans and sweat shirt, the obligatory toque on his frizzled hair, his eyes shining with curiosity and passion, and his totally disarming smile. When he comes to the end, you want to jump up and shout, this is so right, this is the answer: I AM. OK, you get the point, I really like the film — and I really would like you to see it. It is such a positive trip. Get on board. Be there next Tuesday! That is April 3!

The Springhouse 4-H Club’s speeches and demos are once again completed for another year, and the winners were announced on Feb. 25. Starting promptly at 9:30 a.m., after the 9 a.m. sign in, the speeches and demos were held at Williams Lake secondary. We had a great turnout; family and friends joined our two panels of judges — three for junior and three for senior — to congratulate and watch the fantastic displays of public speaking, duo demonstrations, and

our one solo speak and show. The day consisted of our members presenting until noon, for a quick lunch, and continuing until 3 p.m., finishing the day off with senior impromptus and the awarding of ribbons. For the juniors: in speeches, Madison Blusson was awarded first place, Andrew Yurkiw came in second, and Mitchell Blusson was third. In the junior demos, Nicolas Flinton and Wyatt Armes won first place. In the senior category: in speeches, Heather Fisher-LeBlanc won first place, Carmen Kaufman

came in second, and Jessica Herrick came in third. Ashley Telford and Courtney Rankin came in first for their demonstration; Darcy Sepkowski and Tianna MacLeod were awarded second place; and our one and only speak and show of the day was by senior member Mathew Armes who took home a first-place ribbon for his demonstration. The Springhouse 4-H Club would like to thank profusely for the six wonderful judges that we had the pleasure to present to and to provide them with insight of our hobbies and inspirations.

All of the first and second place winners of every category have the opportunity to go and present at the district levels. Carmen Kaufman, the second place winner of the senior speeches, on March 3 participated at the district speeches. These were held at Chilcotin Road elementary, in Williams Lake. Although she didn’t place — they only awarded the speeches in the top three — she explained that she had enjoyed her time and got to see some very interesting speeches. The District Demos will be held on April 15 in 100 Mile House.

“They call the Cariboo home” Rolling with the times into new careers Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Della Rauch and Ken Dubielew have called the Cariboo home since the early 1980s. Well, actually, Della did spend some time here as a child. She was born in Invermere and started and finished school there but in between her entrepreneurial parents moved to where ever her dad’s trucking and logging business took them. They lived in 100 Mile House, Williams Lake, Merritt and Hazelton, the last stop her parents made after she had graduated high school and was ready for work. At 20 Della took a job with the Hudson’s Bay company in Hazelton where she worked for five years. In 1984 she moved to Williams Lake. Her parents Ed and Joyce Rauch had retired to Parksville on Vancouver Island earlier but the move didn’t take. They missed the Interior of B.C. so they joined her in Williams Lake the same year, where they established a low-bed trucking company, moving heavy equipment into logging sites. Ken was born in Kerrobert, Sask. and moved to Alberta with his family when he was 12. He came to Williams Lake in 1983 to work in the saw-milling and logging industry. As many young couples before them have done, Della and Ken met at the old Chili Pub located in the former Chilcotin Inn, now the site of Save-On Foods. “I asked him to dance and he’s still dancing,” jokes Della. “Her girlfriends dared her to ask me to dance and then she wouldn’t go out with me for three or four months because she was so busy with her friends and a grad reunion,” explains Ken. Their lives over the past few years have become somewhat of a dance, weaving and bobbing to

Ken Dubielew and Della Rauch made their living in the forest industry for more than 20 years hauling heavy equipment into logging sites, but as the industry began to downsize a few years ago with the shaky global economy they took a look around and found a way to diversify into the food industry establishing a custom catering and coffee business. Here they are participating in Columneetza Secondary School’s Medieval Market. find new direction as the logging and sawmill industry slowed down with the global recession. When Della and Ken married, Ken worked in the family business driving one of her dad’s four low-bed trucks. Della became the dispatcher and bookkeeper for the company from 1985 until 1989 when her parents made their final decision to sell the business and retire. In the 1980s she says there was lots of low-bed hauling work available in the region but as the forest industry began downsizing and mills started closing that work slowly dried up. So in 1992 Ken bought his own low-bed truck and became an independent trucker. Della continued to take care of business for their company. Della knew a lot about running a business and keeping books but she didn’t know a lot about the new computer accounting methods, so in 2006 she went back

to school to take the Applied Business Technology program at Thompson Rivers University here in Williams Lake. “I knew a lot about keeping books but not a lot about computers,” Della says. “We were still trading furs at the Hudson’s Bay Company in Hazelton when I was there. The manager would check the furs and I would pay out the trappers, issuing petty cash voucher receipts.” Three years ago, Ken started thinking about a future that didn’t involve long hours in the truck, and recognizing that the industry was slowing down. So to diversify he bought Uncle Paul’s coffee roaster and started making and selling fresh roasted coffee on the side. “The volume of equipment that needed to be moved in the forest industry wasn’t what it used to be so he diversified,” Della says. Meanwhile, Della was also di-

versifying. While taking the Applied Business Technology course at TRU her practicum was to create a proposal for a kitchen/cafeteria at TRU. She took the week-long business plan course offered by Community Futures, then presented her plan to TRU. She was given the contract, took the Food Safe course and established the cafeteria at TRU which she ran for four years from September 2007 until last May. Ken sold his truck in March 2011 and in May Della gave up the TRU cafeteria contract to establish True Food Services custom catering. There are no set menus. They create whatever the customer wants from Greek dinners to barbecue steaks and everything in between. These days Della does the cooking and other chores with the help of two full-time assistants who work out of a small

kitchen in the Pioneer Complex. Ken continues to grind coffee, and after taking his Food Safe course helps with the deliveries and tending the barbecue, infrared rotisserie, and deep fryer for their outdoor events which can include anything from weddings to business lunches and dinners. “It’s easier on me, a lot easier,” Ken says of his new career. “We enjoy it because we have the ability to pace ourselves with our bookings. It’s hard work but as long as you have the right equipment it’s good,” Della adds. “I try to do all my shopping locally because I do believe in supporting our local economy.” Through the years living in Williams Lake Della and Ken have raised two children. Son Ory is 20 and after taking the pre-apprenticeship residential construction program in high school and trades training at TRU is now apprenticing in log home construction with Pioneer Log Homes. Daughter Shina is 22 and recently moved to Grand Prairie to look for work and be close to her boyfriend who works there. While the children were growing up Della and Ken were involved in the various clubs and activities their children participated in, but these days they are content running their businesses and lending their support to various community activities such as the Medieval Market and Stampede with in-kind donations. Interestingly, Della says she and her four siblings are all selfemployed. Her brother Gordo owns Gordo’s Rental in Williams Lake. Her two sisters in Hazelton and a brother in Smithers are also self-employed. Each winter for the past two years Della and Ken have also enjoyed a short winter break in Mexico, happily being able to fly directly out of Prince George. “I can’t believe how good the sun makes you feel to carry you through the year,” Della says.

STORE CLOSING & CONSOLIDATION Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Joe Amaral of Excelsior Jewellers says while he’s closed down his other store, Rainbow’s End, Excelsior remains open for business.

Rainbow’s closes but Excelsior stays Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer In order not to get over stretched jeweller Joe Amaral decided it was time to close down one of his three businesses. With two jewelry stores and a body connection practice on the go, Amaral says he knew something had to give. Last Saturday he and his staff completed the closure of Rainbow’s End in Boitanio Mall. When his five-year lease came up for renewal at the mall, he chose to pull out of the mall and focus his energies on Excelsior Jewellers Ltd. on Second Avenue and the opening of his healing business, Body Connection by Joe, which he started professionally in 2002. “With the lease ending, I thought it would be the ideal time to downsize,” he says. Rainbow’s End was the oldest store in the mall. Amaral opened it there in 1985. At that time, Excelsior Jewellers was becoming overstocked so when the mall approached him to consider a second location, he jumped at the chance. While the store at the mall was geared toward a younger crowd,

Amaral says it was basically just another store. “We did really well in there. It was a very busy mall with a different type of clientele. We enjoyed our stay there and we’re going to miss being in there, but unfortunately there’s only so much that I can do.” Amaral arrived in Williams Lake in 1975 from the Azores Islands. He managed the Saan Store at first and then was approached by John Stewart to work in his jewelry store. “He was complaining he couldn’t find any good people to work for him so I told him teach me the business and I’ll come and work for you,” he recalls. Stewart taught him the business, with the idea that eventually Amaral would buy into the business and take over when he retired. When it came time to buy in, however, the two weren’t able to agree on a price. Enamoured with being in the jewelry business, Amaral decided to venture on his own and in 1980 opened Excelsior. “From unemployment to employed,” he says. What he learned on the job from Stewart

was augmented by courses on jewelry making, watch making and repair, gemology and diamonds. The nice thing about the move into one location is that no one has lost a job. If anything, a job has been saved, Amaral says. Day to day Amaral is kept busy with all sorts of things. Pointing to his crowded desk he says, “as you can see I’ve got estimates galore. There’s always stuff coming in with people wanting ideas of how to create or design jewelry. I teach them how to look after their jewelry or their family heirlooms.” He gets quite a few requests for appraisals as well, he adds. There are eight employees working for him and a young employee who does 95 per cent of the jewelry repairs. Running the two stores has made Amaral aware that things go in cycles. In the past the mall store was busier than the store downtown, but over the last couple of years that has reversed. “It’s a sign of the times all around North America. Malls all over are having difficulties finding tenants,” he says.

The nature of buying has also changed as more and more people are purchasing items over the Internet. Amaral often has customers bringing jewelry in to get sized and asking if they’ve obtained a good deal with their online purchases. “I would never spend three or 4,000 bucks sight unseen. I’d have to see it actually in my hand before I bought anything,” he suggests. Presently he spends two, full 13-hour days a week on his Body Connection work. He offers Reiki, Healing Touch, Zen Shiatsu massage, relaxation and more. Over the next two weeks he’ll be attending a course in Edmonton to complete his level four as a craniosacral therapy practitioner and is making arrangements to purchase the spot presently held by Elemental Healing on First Avenue. Craniosacral therapy, he says, is a very gentle art. Sometimes he’ll be working on someone and it doesn’t feel like he’s doing anything because he’s resting his hands near their head. “But you’re basically manipulating so after it’s all done, they’re so relaxed that they feel so good.”

Everyone who spe spent time with Doris always commented on what a wonderful and ““kind heart” she had. Doris is also known for being very thou thoughtful and giving. Hundreds of people have beautiful afgha afghans decorating their homes, thanks to Doris. Each afghan w was a gift from her heart because she took the time to inquire inquir about each person’s favourite colours, and then would purchase those colours and make them a unique gift. Doris had an open door policy and loved to have company. One of her favourite things to do was to have them sit down for a nice meal and a good visit. If you only had a minute, she would sent you away with a cookie in your hand. Doris was born and raised in Washington State and married Art Dowd in June of 1950. Doris was delighted to have a daughter, Patricia Ann, her only child, in 1956. Art and Doris were dry land wheat farmers. In 1965, a good friend of Art’s invited them to come spend a few weeks on beautiful Quesnel Lake. They fell in love with it and had an opportunity to buy property on the lake and built a beautiful summer home in 1969. The day Patty was let out of school; the family was on the road to Quesnel Lake, where they spent every summer. After 21 years, they sold their ranch and moved to town where Art had a part time job with the Washington State Experiment Station and they were able to spend 6 months of the year on Quesnel Lake at their cabin. They had such a love for this area that during 1983 they bought property in Horsefly and permanently immigrated to BC in 1986. Doris and Art celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in June 1990. Unfortunately, during October of 1990, Doris discovered that her breast cancer had come back a second time. She was sent to the Vancouver Cancer Clinic for three weeks of intense radiation. During this time, Art became very ill and without warning passed away in their home on the same day Doris was returning with her daughter Patty. Doris had been given a 25% chance of survival on the second occurrence and was told to get her affairs in order as she had a maximum of two years to live. Doris and Art had built a beautiful home in Horsefly and Doris did not want to leave, so she helped her daughter, son-in-law & grandson immigrate to Horsefly, from Washington State, to be close to her and help look after her needs. As a surprise to everyone, Doris beat the odds and lived another 21 years, cancer free. Doris married Olin Aldridge in October 1996. Due to health issues, in February 2011, Doris was unable to look after herself any longer and moved back in with her daughter and son-in-law, so they could take care of her needs. Doris was a life time member of the Sunshine Chapter of the Eastern Star, as well as a member and strong supporter of the Horsefly Women’s Institute. Doris was an awesome mother, a wonderful friend and a dedicated wife. ... She will Never be Forgotten and Always Missed ... Doris is survived by: Her daughter and son-in-law, Patty Dowd & Bob Zumwalt of Horsefly, BC Her grandson and his wife, Sonny & Mindi Zumwalt of Hoquiam, WA Six Great Grandchildren: Great granddaughters: Hailee, Logann & Paityn Rogers of Williams Lake, BC Great grandson, Denver Rogers-Normand of Williams Lake, BC Great granddaughter & grandson: Kalina & Gavin of Hoquiam, WA Husband, Olin Aldridge, Seniors Village, Williams Lake, BC Doris was predeceased by: Husband, Art Dowd in 1990. At Doris’ request, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory, to the SPCA. LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements. 250-398-9100
