Group looks at watershed Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal MLA Donna Barnett visited the Big Creek Watershed during a tour on May 22 organized by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations. She was with a group of people that included ranchers and experts in the field of watershed management, forestry, and habitat restoration — all part of a water storage assessment project to look at the watershed. The group visited various ranches that are part of the Big Creek drainage and rely on water from Bambrick, Twinflower, Mons, Copper, Tete Angela and Ray Creeks. “We saw what’s been happening on Twinflower Creek since 1988,” Barnett uses as an example. “This
is not something that just happened to the creek with the sloughing and everything. There was a study done in the ‘90s with some suggestions for some kind of restoration and nothing was ever done.” In the last five years, she adds, the focus of the harvest within the Williams Lake Timber Supply Area (TSA) has been lodgepole pine. “Predominantly west of the Fraser River, where the harvesting has been taking place, and over the last couple of years within the Big Creek area. The idea is to capture value from a dead or dying tree and replace it with healthy regenerating forests.” Barnett suggests people have to remember harvesting is being done within the present legislative structure of the forest and range practice act. “Of course, this devastating pine beetle that
came in and caused destruction in our wonderful forests and with climate change, there is naturally a shift in water flows. There’s no doubt about it.” She points to factors of weather, mountain pine beetle, to some degree some harvesting, and prolonged drought conditions in the area that have exacerbated the issues of the water supply. “Now water supply from up above is being redirected because harvesting and the remaining pine beetle trees are dead and those roots that used to take up that water don’t take it anymore so it flows quick and then it’s gone,” Barnett says. Hugh Flinton, the Ministry of Forests Lands and Resource operations manager of ecosystem restoration for the Cariboo region, organized the tour and says the intent was to get people’s feet on the
ground in one place in an informal setting. The project is about getting some options together and figuring out what’s feasible economically, he says, explaining if money’s going to be spent in the Big Creek drainage what’s the best way to spend money. “Beware that there is no money set up for on-the-ground digging in the dirt right now. The money is strictly marked for feasibility and operational investigations. I’m hoping there will be money in the future; however, in order to apply, studies have to be completed that cover feasibility and operations.” Flinton wants the project to go forward and says one of the exciting aspects is the involvement of Ducks Unlimited.

The magic words — I love to read Greg Sabatino photo
Children’s magician of the year Norden the Magician entertains a lively crowd Saturday at the Williams Lake library with his funny, literacythemed show.
Gov’t to appoint seniors advocate Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It’s a wish come true for Williams Lake seniors advocate Audrey MacLise. “I got a call from Bob Simpson’s office this morning telling me the government is going to appoint a seniors advocate. When the premier was in town a few weeks ago I asked if the government was going to appoint someone and she told me she couldn’t answer the question,”
MacLise says. She’s pleased because she feels as if up until now she’s been crying in the wind for years. “Finally the powers that be are starting to read the statistics. We’ve known for years that our seniors population would be tripling. The governments, neither federal nor provincial, have done very much planning,” MacLise says. Crediting ombudsperson Kim Carter and the reports and books she’s
written on seniors care in the province, MacLise suggests Carter has raised the government’s awareness. “She’s provided them with information that’s going to be really necessary in the years to come. She told me once she had 900 complaints about seniors’ care that she followed up on. Her second book — The Best of Care, Getting it Right for Seniors in British Columbia — is a gem. I’m reading it for the second time.
My only regret is that it wasn’t available before the present government started dabbling in private seniors’ care.” Carter will be in Williams Lake on June 5 to meet with seniors from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Pioneer Complex. In anticipation of the meeting, MacLise is urging as many people as possible to attend.Back in 2005, Carter visited with seniors in Williams Lake, so MacLise is looking forward to seeing her again.
“If anyone needs a ride to the meeting they can call me at 250-3925337,” MacLise says. Presently the province is holding community consultation meetings on the seniors’ advocate, although the closest meetings to Williams Lake will be in Kelowna on June 20 and in Prince George on June 25.
Full enforcement starts July 1 Continued From Page A1 If you are caught without a proper helmet, RCMP officers, whenever possible, will ensure you have safe alternative transportation rather than issuing a ticket. Full enforcement will begin July 1. In addition to improved helmet laws, new seating laws will come into effect that will require operators and passengers be properly seated on the motorcycle or in a sidecar. The following are the
restrictions that apply: • A rider that is unsafely standing or riding side saddle; a passenger 16 or older who is on a motorcycle not designed for passengers; a passenger 16 or older who is riding side saddle; a passenger 16 or older who is in front of the operator; a passenger 16 or older who is not using foot rests or foot pegs; and a passenger 16 or older who is not seated in or on the sidecar. Violating the seating restrictions carries a vehicle impoundment period.

Aim to find solutions Continued From Page A1 “As a rule Ducks Unlimited doesn’t deal with the higher elevation stuff, because of the limitation to nesting habitat, but in this case they are really keen in helping us with some of the expertise they have when it comes to smallscale, water-type structures,” Flinton says. Jeremy Cooke of Water Management International, the Kamloopsbased company leading the project, says the aim is to find solutions rather than point fingers,
and devise a project that can have wider impact for other watersheds in the province. “We can suggest when you start off let’s do A, B, C, and D, and one of them is obviously communication, communication, communication,” Cooke says. Some of the solutions WMI is considering are to rebuild small dams and to try finding extra water supplies between June and September, and during the freeze up time in January and February when ranchers have problems with trying to water their stock.
“The flow is so low that the stream bed is actually freezing up. “What they’ve been doing for a century they can’t do anymore to get water to cows,” Cooke explains. Rancher Randy Saugstad participated in the tour and recalls someone asking if his erosion was eight feet deep. “I told them try 20 feet. So we walked down and looked. Yeah, it’s bad,” he says, adding he doesn’t think his ranch will benefit from work anytime soon because it will be so expensive. Saugstad says many
eyes are on the Big Creek project from all sorts of people living in different watersheds. “I’m hearing more and more about people getting mad (in areas other than) just Big Creek. Not everyone’s going public. A lot of people are waiting to see what’s going to happen here, how this is going to play out.” Flinton says instant action items include working with the forest licensees and the ranchers to look at ways to do some things upstream and to continue to delve into the history of the
water supply in the drainage. Barnett is pleased everyone is working together. “Once we get the report and suggestions of what can be done to help those ranchers out there I will take that document to government and look for funding to help address the issue. “Everybody is going to have to come to the table. If it’s just permitting for a rancher to go in and do something, those permitting processes will have to be put high on the priority list,” Barnett says.

New website to help explore green opportunities Rural communities and First Nations can now access new information and tools to help them explore green energy opportunities with the launch of a dedicated website for the Green Energy as a Rural Development Tool Project. The Green Energy project was designed to develop and circulate new information and tools that will assist rural communities and First Nations in exploring the economic opportunities around green energy development. The multi-year project will complete case studies on successful green energy projects and develop and circulate information and tools that will help assist rural communities and First Nations in developing Green Energy projects. All information developed as part of the project will
be made available on the project website. The Green Energy project was created and funded by a partnership that includes the Cariboo-Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition, Columbia Basin Trust, the Omineca Beetle Action Coalition, the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition, the Federal Government’s Rural Partnership and the Provincial Government’s Mountain Pine Beetle Epidemic Response Branch. “Interior rural communities and First Nations impacted by the mountain pine beetle epidemic are all interested in exploring how green energy development can contribute to regional and community economic growth and diversification,” said Rhona Martin, Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition (SIBAC) chair and Columbia Shuswap
Regional District Area E director. “This project provides information specific to rural communities and will assist with the feasibility assessment of various proposed Green Energy projects in the interior.” “Investment in Green Energy as a tool for rural economic development is so important for British Columbia,” added Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook, who is also the Cariboo-Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) chair. “Our communities are very focused on encouraging economic diversification to counter the devastating impacts of the mountain pine beetle epidemic on our communities.” Stephanie Killam, Omineca Beetle Action Coalition (OBAC) chair and mayor of Mackenzie added: “The growth of the alternative energy
sector is one of the identified strategic priorities for the Omineca Beetle Action Coalition. The options, feasibility, technologies and programs impacting the development of the industry are varied and complex, and our small, rural communities usually lack the resources to fully understand the opportunities associated with green energy development. The project will provide significant assistance to our regions.” “The Green Energy sector has significant potential to contribute to rural economic development,” added CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett, who is the parliamentary secretary for rural communities. “We are pleased to support this project in partnership with the BACs, the Columbia Basin Trust and the Federal Govern-
ment.” The Beetle Action Coalitions were created in 2005-2006 to develop and implement mitigation plans that will help communities impacted by the mountain pine beetle epidemic. SIBAC is managing the Green Energy as a Rural Development Tool project on behalf of the project partners.

Riding gets funding
New bill an erosion of democracy
T
K
im Carter, B.C.’s ombudsman, will be in Williams Lake today to discuss what has been called her “damning “ report on seniors’ care. In two years of investigation, Ms. Carter French found Connection m u c h wanting Diana French in the provision of residential, hospital and home care for seniors, and she has made numerous recommendations to the province for improvements. Older persons and those who care about them should attend this meeting, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Pioneer Complex. *** A number of people have told tell me they like lilacs and they wonder why they are so scarce on city property. What bugs me about this is that we missed the boat. Merritt also has the lilac as its floral emblem, and Bill Vander Zalm donated scads of the plants to that city. *** The backlash against the Harper government’s 425-page Omnibus bill is growing as more people find out what is hiding in it. The Opposition parties and others (including one Conservative backbencher) charge that Bill C38 (aka the “Trojan horse bill�) with its 70 potentially harmful law changes is being given little opportunity for debate. The changes in health care, the environment, employment standards, justice, and the arts will affect almost every Canadian. Some changes may be OK but who knows? They are being sneaked in under the budget blanket. Critics (moi) see the bill as the erosion of our parliamentary democracy. *** Why have federal governments been so keen on selling our resources to foreign interests but wouldn’t allow domestic wine to cross provincial borders? *** Speaking of governments, a friend sent me a piece about collective nouns. We all know a herd of cows, a flock of chickens, a gaggle of geese, maybe even a murder of crows or an exaltation of doves, but I didn’t know a group of baboons is called a parliament. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
Our Viewpoint
A good idea Midwives, nurse practitioners and podiatrists may be able to prescribe medications classified as controlled substances as early as this fall, something currently only done by medical doctors, dentists and veterinarians. The proposed changes to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, announced in a Health Canada press release May 13, are aimed at improving flexibility and giving patients faster access to certain medications. It’s an idea whose time has come. Positive changes, or good news of any kind, regarding healthcare in Canada has been as scarce as respect for the environment within the Conservative government in the last few years. Newspapers across this country are filled with letters to the editor almost weekly, blasting long wait-times and “hallway medicine.� Anything that can be done to streamline patients getting what they need, when they need it, needs to be up for discussion.
Nurse practitioners already offer a significant level of independent healthcare in B.C. Providing more healthcare professionals with additional tools will benefit those on the receiving end, the patients. Like medical doctors, nurse practioners, midwives and podiatrists, will have to meet the same strict requirements regarding record-keeping, security and the reporting of any loss or theft of controlled substances. These proposed changes should not be a source of political controversy. The College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia and the BC Nurse Practitioners Association have already voiced their support for the plan. As it stands, our aging population is going to need all the trained medical professionals the system can provide. One can only hope the legislation isn’t tacked onto some massive omnibus bill that generates backlash from the public and official opposition. — Marvin Beatty

he end of May marks another spring sitting of the legislature being all wrapped up. While it’s incredibly important to be working hard here in the CaribooChilcotin with my ears on the ground and matters directly at hand, passing legislation and getting important projects funded is another key part of the job. I’m looking forward to a summer working at home, but would also like to thank my Victoria team for all their hard work. We got so much accomplished this session. One of the biggest projects to move forward was phase two of the Cariboo Connector. For phase one, the province committed $200 million in funding over five years. On April 13, Premier MLA Christy Musings Clark announced Donna Barnett that phase two of the program would go forward with a provincial investment of another $200 million over the next five years. In May we were able to secure $36,500 for the Cariboo Chilcotin Invasive Plant Committee, and $83,000 for the Cariboo Regional District, to help protect habitats and native species. We were also able to make most of the funds saved during the teachers’ strike and put it back into the Learning Improvement Fund. School District 27 was granted $678,942, as well as an additional $102,233 from the newly established BC Education Plan Fund which was created as part of Bill 22. Another big success this year was Community Recreation Program grants helping communities develop projects to benefit the health and activity of all users. The CRD received $401,250 to help develop wheelchair accessible wilderness trails, and Williams Lake received $550,000 for the extension of the River Valley Trail network through the development of an underpass. We saw the steady continuation of local funding through community gaming grants, civil forfeiture grants, the Strategic Community Investment Fund, and the Climate Action Revenue Incentive program, as well as additional transportation contracts valued at over $5.7 million for two major road improvement projects in the Green Lake and Watch Lake areas, on Highway 20 and at Anahim Lake Airport. Time flies when the legislative house is sitting, and we sure got a lot of work done, but I’m very happy to be back at home and focused on what matters most to me — the Cariboo-Chilcotin. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for the Cariboo-Chilcotin.

City on verge of economic boom
The Liberals disrespect democracy
Editor:
Editor: I’m appalled at this Liberal government ramming through the bills in the legislature on the last day.  The government’s and opposition’s job is to govern and govern with respect. They should finish the job they are well paid to do before giving themselves the summer, and perhaps the fall, to take a break. In a regular nine-to-five job if the work you were assigned to do wasn’t done, you’d be fired. The 124-page PST bill, which should have been gone over lineby-line, was rushed through, but won’t be implemented until next April, just in time for the election. The return to the PST was voted upon by the electorate in June 2011 and will not be in effect until April 2013, some 20 months later. The Liberals do not respect democracy. It’s therefore no wonder governments are one of the least trusted institutions. Maureen Foss Lac La Hache
Recently I had a meeting with our representatives from the Business Development Bank of Canada. They are based out of Kamloops but they cater to all Cariboo regions including Bella Coola.

As the controller of a locally owned business I am very aware how the economy is currently affecting our business as well as our customers and Williams Lake residents in general.

Hoyer keeps positive outlook for national series
Saturday, June 9 COPA for Kids and Williams Lake Flying Club host free flights
Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If there’s one thing Brock Hoyer’s learned in five seasons racing the CMRC Monster Energy Motocross Nationals it’s to have fun. The 25-year-old professional from Williams Lake wrapped up the first of nine legs of this year’s crossCanada series Sunday at Nanaimo’s Wasteland race track under less than stellar conditions. “I got there, the weather was good, I was feeling good, my bikes were all ready to go and basically it just started raining and didn’t stop all weekend,� Hoyer said Monday on his way back to Williams Lake from the Island. “It was the nastiest mud race you could think of.� Racing in the MX1 class, Hoyer finished his first moto in ninth, followed by an 18th overall finish Sunday in moto number two leaving him 12th place overall heading into race two of the series this weekend at Kamloops’ Whispering Pines race track. “It wasn’t as good as I wanted to finish,� he said. “Normally I’m a lot better in mud.� Heading into Kamloops, however, Hoyer knows and feels he can improve and position himself for a run deep into the series. “I can do a lot better,� he said. “The circumstances weren’t in my favour so I’m just going to regroup and attack this weekend.� Hoyer is no stranger to Whispering Pines having spent countless hours racing the Westsyde track over the years. Outside of the track in Williams Lake, Hoyer said it’s the track he feels most comfortable on. “I definitely have a home track advantage there,� he said. “I know the ins and outs of it and I feel right at home there and I have a good opportunity to do well there.� Hoyer added he’s taking a slightly different approach to this year’s series by not putting as much pressure on himself. “The biggest thing I’ve learned and something I could put on to other people is to just enjoy it,� he said. “Just go have fun, no pressure. Just do what you do and come off with a smile and go from there. “The biggest thing in motocross, from the local stuff to the big races, is you’re looking toward the end of the year points.� Asked whether this will be his last

This weekend race two of the series goes in Kamloops. year racing the pro series Hoyer said he’s unsure. “I keep trying to say that [it will be my last year] and it seems like every year I keep getting more and more support,� he said. “I’m never going to quit the local stuff, but it’s hard to say. “I’ve got such a great group of sponsors helping me out financially and at the end of the day if I can’t pay my bills it’s hard to keep doing it but as it is right now I have great support. I’m one of the only pros I know who has a full-time job ... so it’s definitely a bit harder but it’s something I can cope with and something I’ve been used to doing. I just find that happy medium where I still enjoy everything I do.� Following this weekend’s race the series moves east across Canada, wrapping up with the ninth race Aug. 18 in Walton, Ont. Depending on his results from the first four western races Hoyer said he’ll make a decision on whether to travel east for the remaining events. “I haven’t jumped out to the best start but hopefully I can bring it back and get my points back on top,� he said. “After the fourth round I’ll make a decision but I for sure want to do Walton for the last round because I have some sponsors that will be out there.� In preparation for this year’s event Hoyer spent three weeks in March

Rock Rangers take icebreaker crown Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer The Rock Rangers used a sixth-inning rally to surge past the Rippers in the final of the Red Dog Slo-Pitch League Icebreaker Tournament Sunday. Rock Rangers’ pitcher Derrick Godin sent a frozen rope deep to centre field for a home run, followed by James Lulua, who sent home two, for a four-run sixth inning to
secure the win. The Rock Rangers hot bats continued in the top of the seventh, where they added another seven runs in the winning effort. The Rippers would mount a comeback in the bottom of seven scoring eight runs but it wasn’t enough. The Rock Rangers secured the championship with an 18-14 win. Prior to the late innings both teams were
neck and neck, resulting in an exciting conclusion to the game. The Red Dog SloPitch League Icebreaker Tournament began earlier in the week with preplayoff games where the top eight of nine teams advanced to the weekend playoff rounds. Sunday, with the field whittled down to eight, a first-game knockout format sent half the teams home early. The Rippers knocked

off the Fireballs in the quarterfinal, then beat the Booze Brothers, 14-13, after Nick Surette drove home Darren Sanford in the final inning. The Rock Rangers path to the championship consisted of a decisive win over the Throw Togethers, followed by a 12-0 drubbing of BD II in the semi. In the third-place game the Booze Brothers defeated BD II, 5-4, in extra innings to take the win.

Williams Lake Storm provincial-bound The Williams Lake U13 Storm rep soccer team travelled to Prince George over the weekend for a two-game series against Prince George to decide the regional championship with the winner advancing to the provincial finals. In the first game the Storm came out slowly and fell behind early
to a determined Prince George squad. Williams Lake managed to even the game at 1-1 early in the second half but a late goal by Prince George put the game away with a 2-1 win. Williams Lake marched into game two knowing they needed to win, and by at least two goals if they wanted to take the series and
move on. After a scoreless first half Williams Lake netted an early goal to take a 1-0 lead. They then added a late goal with only a few minutes left to take a 2-0 lead. Prince George threw everything they had at Williams Lake to try to even the series goal count but Williams Lake held them off with
stellar defence by the entire team, holding on to the 2-0 win.
The win in the second game gave Williams Lake a 3-2 ag-

Tonight, in a rare astrological event, Venus will pass or “transit� directly in front of the sun. Lynn and Steve Capling will set up their solar telescopes at the Scout Island picnic grounds between 5 p.m. and sunset for people who don’t have telescopes to view the event. Dan Hicks, another local astronomer, says that according to Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s observer’s handbook Venus will first contact the sun’s upper eastern edge (left) at 3:06 p.m. and will be closest to the sun’s centre at 6:25 p.m. and will reach the sun’s upper western edge (right) at 9:31 p.m. He says Venus will not transit the sun again until 2117. He advises people not to look directly at the sun without a #14 welder’s filter.

green barrels raise funds for student bursary Photo submitted Cataline
Elementary Grade 6/7 students in Steve Dickens’ class raised $750 with their painted recycling barrels which they auctioned off at an invitational dinner on May 23 celebrating their participation in the Too Cool 4 School intergenerational project with the Seniors Village. For several weeks the students attended classes at the village and visited with seniors. Funds raised by the barrel sale will go toward a bursary for a graduating student who has participated in the intergenerational program. Pictured are Tyler Wiseman (back left), Amy Berkelaar, Shae-Lynn Sackman, Karlee Smith, Jaylyn Johnson, Colin Johnston, Roniya Sacchetti; Cam Sytsma (front left), Danielle Schultz (in barrel), and Emme Jo MacIsaac. Dickens also took a group of Grade 7 students to the Seniors Village on Friday June 1 for the Intergenerational Day Canada celebration which included games and tea time with seniors.

“They call the Cariboo home”
McAbee fossils shed light on climate Paleontologist Dr. Bruce Archibald will give a presentation at the Scout Island Nature Centre on Wednesday, June 6 starting at 7:30 p.m. His topic is: “Why are there more species in the tropics? The view from a fossil fly’s eye.” Dr. Archibald is a paleontologist who studies fossil insect communities to understand how climate and communities interact.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Simon Fraser and a Ph.D. in paleontology from Harvard and will talk about his work examining insects of the worldfamous McAbee fossil beds near Cache Creek. Dr. Archibald recently presented this talk to the Vancouver Paleontology Society, and now it’s coming to Scout Island, says events co-ordinator Jenny Noble.
“His studies of fossil insect communities help us to better understand the ancient world and show how life is organized in the modern world,” Noble says. “By looking back in time through the lens of paleontology, he is shedding light on how global patterns of biodiversity, climate and geography are connected. “This is a don’t-miss-it presentation.”
Museum hosts author Jay Sherwood Author Jay Sherwood will be at the Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin in Williams Lake on Thursday, June 7 to do a PowerPoint presentation on his new book Furrows In The Sky. The book is a photographic adventure

Ron Walters of the Horsefly pioneer family is remembered – April 17, 1935 to May 20, 2012 – Diane Walters Special to The Tribune Ron Walters was born in Williams Lake April 17, 1935, the youngest in a family of five. He spent his entire youth growing up in Horsefly at the Walters pioneer ranch established in the 1890s. The early Walters family was large and had many interesting stories of their settling in Harpers Camp, now known as Horsefly. The Walters family had left Ontario to venture into the west, building and operating Road Houses from Mile 83, Mile 93 to the 105, then on to Mile 122, before deciding to turn back to Ontario in 1870. It was during this time Henry Lincoln Walters was born in 1865 making him the first of a family that has now had six generations born in the Cariboo. Young Ty Tugnum is the latest. It was Henry who started the original ranch in Horsefly, then passing from him to son Lloyd Walters (Ron’s dad). The ranch was lost due to unpaid taxes after Lloyd died with no signed will in 1944 from Tularemia, a form of blood poisoning. It was in those early years young men had to go out to find work wherever they could. Ron’s first job was in Wells in a gold mine working underground. When it was found out he was but 14 he was sent above ground to wash out ore cars. He said it was the worst job he ever had and knew
Ron Walters for sure that was the last time he would ever go underground. From there he and Ed got a job around Margerite unloading rail cars. All by hand they unloaded and stacked the lumber. A while later Ron got a job working for Gardner’s Sawmill in Horsefly. It was here that Ron started his career as a truck driver bringing loads of lumber into town as there were no sawmills in town at that time. During that time Herb Gardner asked Ron if he had a driver’s licence. He didn’t as he was not yet 16. Needless to say, as soon as he was of age, he was sent to town to be tested by the local police. By the time Ron was 17 he got work with the Department. of Highways on the rock crushing crew. This took him from Sechelt in the winter to Pouce Coupe in the summer where they crushed rock for the road beds. It was on
his second tour to Pouce Coupe that Ron met and married Reta McWha. They spent their first year in a very small trailer on a rock crushing site on the sunshine coast, hence Dave being born in Powell River in 1954. When Ron was transferred to the Cariboo (Lone Butte) he decided enough of that life and came back to Horsefly where Gail was born in Williams Lake in 1956. In Horsefly Ron went to work hauling poles for the Niquidet Brothers, unloading power poles himself, all along the Cariboo Highway with a peevee. He worked in and around Horsefly until he and Ed went to work for San Jose Logging, among the first log truckers to bring loads to a mill in town. They often joked at how big a load they hauled, so much so they were known to have hooked the wires that
went across Mackenzie Avenue taking out the power. Ron’s brothers Garth and Edward also married and started families. In 1965 Ron and Dean Getz started Central Cariboo Carriers Ltd. During that time Ron had a few different partners, Arnie Nohr, Paul Petruk and his brother Garth. A few years later, in the hopes of cutting back and downsizing, Garth started Interior Log Hauling Ltd. and Ron took Central and the remaining trucks home to the shop on Bann Road. In 1975 Ron departed

They made trips to the Vanderhoof Air Show, where they sat on the roof to watch the show, went to Saskatoon to see nephew Richard try out for the Saskatoon Blades hockey team and even went across Canada, a trip that only took threeand-a-half-months. Life was full. Throughout Ron’s life he was always a caregiver. He just went quietly through life doing for others with no hoopla — visits to those in Cariboo Lodge, helping a senior by mowing a lawn, or fixing a leaky tap.

Serving the Cariboo since 1981
STAN POGUE
Helping start the Cariboo Sams (an RV group) and belonging to the BC Bus Nuts (converted coaches), Ron made a host of new friends. RVing trips were made to various hot springs, Little Big Horn, Old Faithful, the Pacific coast road, and many fun trips with family. He and Diane took Dave and Bev with their children to Seattle and the Space Needle, making the little ones wear lime green T-shirts so they could spot them easily in the crowds. Music was always playing on the VCR and Ron always said he could quote Pretty Women.

from his norm and did a rash and reckless thing by going to Las Vegas and marrying Diane Peacock Weaver, from Kamloops, and he took on Diane and her son Shaun. From that moment on it was full steam ahead, going from having lumber trucks, to low-beds, as well as the ever-present log trucks. He was actively involved in the Central Interior Loggers Association, as well as the Cariboo Loggers Association, helping to establish hauling rates, routes, and roads. Ron was also a member of the accident-free Mack Million Mile Club.

The aircraft are being provided by the Williams Lake Flying Club. Participants will experience a chance to examine a working aircraft close up on the ground (static display); a short ground school session conducted by a pilot who will explain what the various parts of an aircraft are, what they do, and will answer questions about aviation and flying posed by the participants. They will also experience a walk around, preferably conducted on a static display aircraft, to show participants how pilots prepare for each flight and to brief the participants on the
RV trips enjoyed Continued From Page A17 Many times he was volunteered by his wife to help in some way, and even signed up to do security for the upcoming Dry Grad. While travelling he had stopped many a time to aid a broken down motorist, even an RVer who thought you could drive right to a Moose Meadow in Banff Park. He got a chain and hooked onto this American traveller and with a great deal of effort managed to get them on their way. That’s just one among many times he would assist someone. He continued on until he finally sold the last truck and thought to then spend time taking the bus “The Long Riders” on an extended tour. But life doesn’t always dish out what you expect.

had to switch into the parenting mode. Ron really enjoyed having the pleasure of all the firsts he missed out on in the years raising Dave and Gail, as work had always come first. Only Christmas was a day off in those days. Within that year, Ron was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Because of his diabetes the darn cancer had become an octopus inside him, but thanks to aggressive radiation and a typical strong will Ron came through that with flying colours. Unfortunately he had pneumonia many times during his lifetime to the point where it developed into a viral type. The last bout he was going through was showing real signs of improvement when out of the blue he suffered a massive heart attack at home on that Sunday morning, May 20, 2012. This has been a shock and a tragedy for the family of which it will
take some time to recover. Ron will be sorely missed by his wife Diane, his son Dave (Bev), daughter Gail, stepson Shaun, our “girl” Violet; grandchildren, Stephanie (Karl), Carrie, Kayla and Chad, Corey, Blake and Chauni; greatgrandchildren, Abby, Jonathon, Ty and Ben; and his brothers, Garth (June), Edward (Linda) and many nieces and nephews. The celebration of Ron’s life was held at the Pioneer Complex on Hodgson Road, May 26, 2012. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, his favourite charity is the Williams Lake branch of the BC SPCA, at Box 4757, Williams Lake, B.C. V2G 2V7. At a later time the family will honour Ron’s wishes by having his ashes spread in the Horsefly River where he would join the Fraser River, then on to the ocean to travel the world.

In Loving Memory of Elwood Edward “Woody” Dominique May 15, 1937 ~ May 26, 2012 Elwood Dominique of Barriere, BC, passed away peacefully in Barriere on May 26, 2012. He was 75 years of age. Born in Grenfell, SK on May 15, 1937 to parents Theodore John and Frida Dominique, Woody started his career in Winnipeg, MB as an apprentice and was an accomplished machinist for 41 years. He retired from Weldwood in Williams Lake in 2003. Woody enjoyed coaching/managing minor sports such as hockey and baseball in both Merritt and Williams Lake over the years. When Woody and his family moved to BC in 1970, it opened a whole new chapter, with many opportunities; Woody enjoyed the outdoors and nature. He was an avid ¿sherman and hunter, and he took advantage of every opportunity to go camping and ¿shing with family and friends. Woody will be sadly missed by his loving wife of 51 years, Carol, by his son Wayne (Lisa), his daughter Denise (Ian) Menzies, by grandchildren Bailey Dominique and Riley Dominique, and by many cousins, family and friends scattered throughout the provinces of Canada. A Celebration of Woody’s life will be held sometime this summer in Williams Lake. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.norththompsonfuneral.com.
