Salvage logging of beetle-killed pine trees boosted revenues at the Wetzin’Kwa Community Forest Corporation to a record $2.25 million this year. That’s nearly five times what the Wetzin’Kwa made in 2011. But it’s a record that isn’t likely to be repeated any time soon, says WCFC Chair Dean Daly. “I can tell you know we’ve peaked and we will be scratching a lot harder to hit the margins we did in this current fiscal year,” he told Smithers council last Tuesday. Daly said he expects the WCFC’s annual cut to fall over the next three or four years as all the salvageable beetlekill is logged. That means going from a 125,000 cubic-metre cut in 2012 down to 25,000 cubic metres for the next 20 to 30 years. “It’s quite a dramatic drop,” he said. To ease into that fall-down, the WCFC will roll this year’s revenues into a $3-million trust fund that will
secure the annual grants of $200,000 it plans to give out to community groups. “We want to see this as the anchor to generate continual benefits back to the community,” he said. Councillor Charlie Northrup welcomed the move. “Now that it’s starting to become a substantial amount of money, and as everybody’s looking for sources of funds, I wouldn’t want any redirections or clawing back,” he said. This year’s windfall also means a boost to the WCFC’s operating reserves. Daly said they will now have enough money to keep the WCFC alive should an emergency force them to go a year without logging. They can also cover all reforestation costs for the next 12 to 15 years. Along with grants, Daly noted how much the WCFC’s operations contribute to the local economy. “We’re putting just over $4 million into road building, harvesting, trucking, growing trees, doing the planning and development work, environmental assessment work—all of that is spent here in our community.”

Twin Falls hit by vandals By Percy N. Hébert Smithers/Interior News
It’s like clockwork, a circannual rhythm. But the tradition is not one Kevin Eskelin wants to see continue. Eskelin, District Recreation Officer with Recreation Sites and Trails BC, has been responsible for the upkeep and development of the Twin Falls Recreation Site for the last six years and each year vandalism and littering have coincided with local graduation festivities. “The major source of damage to this area is graduating students and teenagers,” Eskelin said, standing next to a large fire pit full of glass and garbage in the middle of the parking lot. When asked to list the damage done, Eskelin points in the direction of the outhouses.
“More than 30 spans of the fence, lining the trail up to the viewing platform, are damaged.” Kevin Eskelin, District Recreation Officer
“ The outhouses, especially the roofs are damaged and need repair or replacing, there’s garbage and broken glass everywhere,” he said, his hand sweeping across the parking lot and picnic sites. Then he stopped and pointed towards the trail. “More than 30 spans of the fence, lining the trail up to the viewing platform, are damaged” he said. “Maliciously smashed.” Later, a walk up the trail shows rails snapped in two, dangling from the fence
posts, and others completely removed and tossed into the adjacent gully. “This is embarrassing for the community and our program, I have to try real hard to keep it safe,” Eskelin said. The damage is not insignificant and the glass and missing fence boards pose a risk to the safety of visitors to the recreation site. With the boards missing from the fence, it is easy to see how, in some spots, someone could trip or slip and find themselves

going down the steep embankment. The fence also provides support for people who have a harder time going up the trail which is steep in some areas, Eskelin said. The cost to repair the damage, Eskelin said, represents a significant part of his budget for the upkeep and improvements to the site. This year, Eskelin had planned to complete the fencing up to the viewing tower, but now his budget will be taken up with repairs. “We’re trying to add value to this site,” Eskelin said. “But it’s been one step forward and one step back. “We could spend the whole year on this site with our limited resources trying to catch up.” The reason Eskelin spends time and money on the Twin Falls site is because of its unique features.

The Smithers RCMP has noted an increase in thefts from vehicles and would like to remind the public to ensure valuables are removed from vehicles and that vehicles are secured when parked. Complaints have been received from several areas of town. Police are asking the public to call if they note any suspicious activity or persons in their area, particularly in the late night and early morning hours.. On June 21, 2012 at approximately noon the Smithers RCMP received a complaint from Dogwood St, Telkwa, BC about a dog being poisoned. The owner of the dog, a black lab, advised the dog had been left outside in his yard the previous night, and when he returned the following morning, the dog was in severe distress. The dog succumbed to the poison despite seeking veterinary intervention. This same dog was also poisoned on December 25, 2011, but survived the incident. It appeared that a passerby had thrown food laced with a poison over the fence into the yard on both occasions. The Smithers RCMP have had no similar complaints from the area, but are seeking any information related to this incident.

Damage puts users at risk Falls from A2 Not only is the ecology different from much of the surrounding area, with cedar and hemlock trees, it is most notably known for the twin falls, arising from the Lake Kathlyn Glacier on Hudson Bay Mountain, which can be viewed from the viewing platform at the end of a short uphill trail. “This is a site that is something to be proud of,” Eskelin said, referring to the natural beauty of the site, as well as the upgrades in
the trails, the parking lot and the viewing platform. Eskelin pegged the cost of repairs to the outhouses, the fence and the clean up at more than $4,000. Improvements to the camping sites may also be put on hold, something Eskelin really didn’t want to do. Eskelin also hopes news of the damage will encourage local residents to visit the site in the evening and their presence will discourage further damage to the site.
“If we have more visitors here it would displace the inappropriate use of the site,” he said. Each recreation site is managed under three sets of values, public safety, recreation experience and environmental values and the parties affect all three values, Eskelin explained, including the painting or cutting of tree in addition to the littering.

Bulkley Valley air quality improving By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News
Bulkley Valley residents can breathe a little easier now that wood smoke and road dust levels are improving from Hazelton to Burns Lake. “It seems like everywhere we study, air quality is getting better,” Ben Weinstein, air quality meteorologist and member of the Bulkley Valley and Lakes District Airshed Management Society, said. But, at the same time, more sensitive air quality monitors being installed in Smithers, Telkwa, Houston and Burns Lake will capture up to 100 per cent more of the pollutants in the air. Switching to the new monitors may come as a “bit of a shock” at first, Weinstein said. Beginning in Smithers, the new monitors could mean more smoke advisories and wood stove warnings. “But we’re at record-low concentrations right now,” he said. Regardless of what
instruments we use, we’re still improving.” At its finest, less than 1/30th the width of a human hair, particulates in wood smoke can get lodged deep inside the lungs. B.C.’s environment ministry says at current levels, such particulate matter poses a greater health risk than smog or carbon dioxide. A 2010 ministry report highlighted the Bulkley Valley and Cariboo as the regions most affected by wood smoke in residential areas. Since 2006, the BVLD’s airshed society has run a wood stove exchange program offering rebates to people who swap smoky old stoves for cleaner-burning stoves. So far, 634 old stoves have been exchanged, roughly 15 to 20 per cent of wood stoves in the region, program coordinator Colin McLeod said. But after a big uptake in the first few years, the number of people applying for a rebate dwindled. As a result, the airshed society has turned its focus to education.

Telkwa Councillor Rimas Zitkauskas looks forward to a pilot program in the village giving residents easy access to wellseasoned firewood— wood with 20 per cent or less moisture content. Once loggers clear some of the dead pine a wildfire plan ruled too close to the village, Zitkauskas said two truck loads of logs will be dropped off at the quarry on Skillhorn Road. Residents who help with piling, bucking and splitting of the
wood can take home a free supply once it’s seasoned for the following winter, he said. A mobile air quality check performed two years ago showed most of Telkwa’s air quality is improving, with just one still smoky area near the Telkwa BBQ grounds. Along with the wood stove program and the end of beehive burners, Weinstein said better slashburning by forestry companies is another reason air quality is getting better.
The airshed society hosts an annual forum where slash burners share advice on burning hotter, more fully combusted fires. What smoke they do emit also has less impact, he said, because meteorologists now provide site-specific forecasts for the best venting weather. Daily air quality readings for B.C. towns are available at bcairquality.ca. For more information on the wood stove exchange program, call 1-888334-0335.

From the ambulance and Ӿre department for their quick response, to the entire hospital and medical staӽ at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital, who consistently went above and beyond the call of duty in their outstanding care and concern. A special thanks to Dr. Flynn for his commitment, compassion and insight and for always taking the time to answer all our questions and concerns. During these six months, we met so many other patients and their families, who all in their own way, helped to brighten so many of our days. Thank you to all who visited and oӽered prayers and encouragement. So many of you have touched our lives and in return, we wish you all God·s blessings. Above all, we are thankful to our heavenly Father, that He has made all things well! The Groot family
Chrissy, also pegged freedom as an important aspect of being Canadian. “Our freedom, which allows us to live our life as we want to,” she said. For Ronda Leech, mother of Taylor, below right, Canada Day was an opportunity to spend time with her daughter and to appreciate the time. “Seeing my four-year-old daughter do her first potato sack race today,” Leech said of the best part of Canada Day. “I can’t say it made me feel really Canadian. “But it really was awesome.”

I N O UR O PINION
Proud to be Canadian A
typical Canadian characteristic is to poke fun at the overt patriotism exhibited by many Americans. As a nation, Canadians are usually restrained about their patriotism, another characteristic of the Canadian psyche. Other than the Olympics, NHL playoffs and boasting about Neil Young’s Canadian roots, we tend to be introverted about our pride in being Canadian. Except on Canada Day. Canada Day is the one day a year when Canadians across the country proudly, exuberantly and unabashedly celebrate being Canadian. We celebrate everything we have and are grateful for it. Yes, the healthcare system needs some retooling, but in the end, for the most part, we get the care we need. We appreciate the universality of the healthcare system, rich and poor alike, Canadiens de souche or newlyminted. We have, with the exception of the recent robocall incident, free elections. Yes, those very same free elections led to a Stephen Harper-led Conservative government, but it was the will of the majority. People living in many countries around the world only dream of free elections and the will of the majority. Canada is also a country which cherishes differences. Rather than trying to assimilate immigrants of different cultures, we embrace those differences. Often overlooked and by many seen as a negative, we have two official languages. The best part of having two official languages is the culture that comes with it, especially the music. I’m dating myself, but learning French so you can listen to and appreciate Offenbach, Harmonium, Richard Seguin, Robert Charlebois or any number of Quebec artists, is well worth the effort. Another reason to be proud to be Canadian, is we care about the little guy, the underdog, a position Canada often finds itself in, especially at sporting events such as the Olympics. It is also why, on Canada Day, many Canadians will pause and reflect about how lucky they are and will think of fellow Canadians who may not be as fortunate – that’s why I’m proud to be a Canadian. - Percy N. Hébert/Interior News
Is the GTS Again Misleading the Gitxsan? The Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) Board has misled the Gitxsan people for eighteen years. Will they continue to do so in the future? In March, the BC Supreme Court ordered ‘the GTS to develop a Gitxsan community-based model for resolving the defect in its bylaws.’ In June, the GTS said ‘each Gitxsan Wilp (House) will have an opportunity to select the members of the GTS who will have the power to select the society’s directors.’ Unfortunately, this response from the GTS does not respect the Court’s directions. First, the June
26, 2012 Gitsegukla meeting at which this response was decided should have been open to all Gitxsan people. It was not. Key voices were excluded. Secondly, some Wilp Chiefs do not consult with their house members, who are thereby excluded from the discussion. Finally, the June meeting (with a small number of people present) was organized and conducted in much the same dictatorial way as GTS meetings since 1994. Why weren’t ads placed in Smithers and Terrace newspapers beginning a month or more ago, with an open invitation to all Gitxsan
GUEST VIEW Neil J. Sterritt ople, and a ‘plain people, speak’ explanation of the meeting’s purpose? Why didn’t the GTS provide options to the Gitxsan people, such as: Option 1: Participatory Organi-

Option 2: Representative Organization: H Here, segments of the Gitxsan populaG tion (communities, H or Hereditary Chiefs, or…), or… in a broadly part participatory fashion, choose representatives to a body that in turn appoints qualified board members. Instead, the GTS simply imposes its will on the community. The GTS proposes
to hold a three-day meeting in July: Will that meeting be the “communitybased model” (open to all) as the Supreme Court has directed? Will all Gitxsan be able to speak during the meeting? Will there be a qualified, independent officer supervising closed ballots so everyone can comfortably vote “yes” or “no” on the GTS proposal and on the BC Treaty process? Should the GTS answer “yes” to these questions, it might achieve in part the Supreme Court’s order. Otherwise, after July, we’ll be no further ahead than we were on December 2, 2011.

OPINION Pesticide report scorned for wrong outcome

What are your thoughts on Canada Day?
MICHAEL ORECETTI
GINA LOCKWOOD
DEBBIE VANBERGEN
MADISON LUNDBERG
“I like the cake! And the awesome sports stuff.”
“I love this country... I came from Europe, and when I landed here in Canada, I felt like I was home.”
“We’re tough and we have wide open spaces.”
“I think my favourite memory of Canada Day was camping on a lake with my family... enjoying all that we have up here that you don’t find other places.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vandalism is a crime Editor: We are transitioning to time in our nations history when the degradation of morals and ethics is ever more noticeable. Whether it be the BC Supreme Court deciding to allow doctors to kill their patients upon request, teachers taking time from math and science to propagate sexually deviant activity among our youth, or the police forces that are meant to “punish the evildoers” are instead becoming the evildoers, or at least becoming so accustomed to nefarious activity that they disregard it altogether. In the midnight
hours of June 14th to June 15th our property, a pro-life sign was vandalized by a blackened paint roller. In my daily activities, I noticed the sign adjacent the Smithers’ transfer station was also vandalized the same night by the same culprit with black paint. Rewind back to October last year. We had a different sign up about “Choose Adoption not Abortion”, it was painted with a blackened roller as was the sign in Telkwa and in Houston all in the same night. Go a couple years back and we were egged, both our sign and our house. The people in Telkwa and the sign
on the way into Smithers both have been vandalized in different ways over many years. Each of the three times we’ve suffered attacks, from these cowardly people who operate under the cloak of night so that their evil actions are hidden from sight, we have called the RCMP. Each time, the RCMP have either refused to come out, not returned our calls or this last time literally said to me “Vandalism is not a crime.” The Abortion debate is alive and well (pun intended). Let’s have a referendum on the allowance of moral issues instead of allowing people like Nathan Cullen decide
our morals for us. The latest polls suggest the majority of Canadians want to discuss abortione and the issue of when life begins. Tyler E Fox South Hazelton
Pesticides safe Editor: (Re: Legislative committee rejects ban on pesticides, The Interior News, May 23, 2012) The British Columbia Special Committee on
Cosmetic Pesticide use should be commended for examining the issue of urban pesticide use so thoroughly. The committee received 8675 submissions and held 22 meetings where presentations were made by dozens of witnesses including experts from Health Canada, environmental groups, industry organizations, scientific organizations and academics. Continued top right
Letters to the editor policy Letters are welcomed up to a maximum of 300 words. Letters are subject to editing for clarity, brevity and legality. All letters must include the writer’s name, daytime telephone number and hometown for verification purposes. Anonymous, or pen names will not be permitted. Not all submissions will be published. Letters may be e-mailed to: editor@interior-news.com.
In the end, the committee made 17 recommendations but came to the conclusion that scientific evidence does not warrant preventing British Columbians from buying and using approved pesticides so pesticides should not be banned in B.C. The committee did its due diligence on this topic and discovered that pesticides in Canada are regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency which employs more than 350 scientists who are experts in their field. The review process involves a comprehensive set of 200 tests and a review of all scientifically credible studies that exist to ensure the product will not cause harm to people, animals or the environment. If the report from the committee had been different and they had instead recommended a ban, the groups that are unhappy with the actual outcome would be commending the government on a thorough process that looked at all available science before making the decision they did. It’s ironic that these same groups only like the growing and suggestive body of evidence when it yields the answer they want. Fortunately for Canadians, science doesn’t work that way. The B.C. Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticide Use did look at all available science and made the right decision to continue to ensure British Columbians have access to useful tools to protect private and public properties from pests. Lorne Hepworth President CropLife Canada
Let there be noise Editor: (re: Noise over motocross ramps up; Interior News, June 13, 2012) Mr. Chipenuik, you must be the same person who doesn’t like younger folk to enjoy the river as well. However, whoever you are gives me the impression you have removed yourself from the city to find no noise whatsoever. Well, guess what? Kids who have grown up in small towns have been able to enjoy the freedom of snow machining, motor biking, hunting, boating, right down to the quiet sports of cross country skiing or swimming. This is what is so unique about our small towns and is also one of the reasons for moving to Smithers - Telkwa area myself. Our children, who have been fortunate enough to be involved in such events, are not hanging about the town doing things they shouldn’t be doing. If quiet is what you seek and you are not in favour of the SMXA Race Track, I know of a place which is very quiet and not a lot of people are able to bother you, that would be way up north in the Upper Stikine region about six hours up river.

LETTERS NOISE from A7 One might see the odd plane or boat go by but that’s when you’d be more than happy to see this rare occurrence happen, because up there you are all by yourself. It’s a shame there are still people who are continuousely working on making young people’s lives difficult to enjoy. I would rather see them in a controlled environment with their families than out somewhere ripping up good land where animals actually do live. As I recall, the land occupied by the motocross club had been a gravel pit and an old dump which is located across the road and is now called the Transfer Station. Like Mr. Meerdink wrote, “Bikes have been burning around there for years making no noise.” Getting there would be illegal because most of the kids would have had to skid through town and go along the highway. My husband and I support the SMXA Race Track because they are doing something to keep the kids out of town limits with their motor bikes and out of trouble. When we go to the Transfer Station we enjoy watching these kids learn new skills on their bikes and we are quite amazed at their talent. Perhaps you should go by and participate, get to know them and some of their parents. You might appreciate what they are doing as a sport. In my mind, it’s all about my kids and family time. Keep up the good work guys, the kids appreciate what you

Say yea to Enbridge Editor: (Re: E. Tupper, Valdez prompts Endbridge warning, Interior News, June 20, and others). Rather than displaying your revulsion for greedy uncaring corporations, you should be giving thanks every day for profitable resource companies. They are the ones who, to a very large extend, pay the bills. without them, poor little Canada would be another Spain or Greece. Living on credit (just the interest on Canadian debt is $50 billion/year), talking a lot about “social justice” but not about competitiveness and wealth creation, having populations bamboozled by votehungry politicians into believing that their “entitlements” of the something-fornothing variety are sacrosanct. And who, when reality intrudes, throw tantrums. Check, check, and check for Canada. So if the proverbial golden goose is strangled by red tape and excessive taxes in the name of “social justice” and “corporate responsibility,” there are real life horror stories to give us a preview of what comes next. Jerry Mencl Telkwa
Right to kill no, right to life yes Editor: An open letter to
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson: It is with great concern that I note the decision of Justice Smith to legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia in BC. I do hope you will stay the Charter decision and appeal it to the BC Court of Appeal. I survived a suicide attempt as a young person at a time of great despair and loss. Thankfully, I have lived to raise a wonderful family and experience the joy of grandchildren, friends and a very full life. None of the above none would have happened had I had help in accomplishing my goal. Intentionally killing a human being is always wrong, except in self-defense or the defense of (an)other human being(s). Killing a Jew is wrong. Killing a handicapped person is wrong. Killing a gypsy is wrong. Killing the elderly is wrong. Killing an unborn child is wrong. Killing a black person is wrong. Killing a depressed person is wrong. Killing an infidel is wrong. Killing your Mother is wrong. Every dictator has seen fit to wipe out any class, any racial, economic, or political group that is a threat to his ideology and lust for “more-for-therest-of-us” power. If we allow any of these groups to become fair game for those willing and anxious to exercise their “right” to a conscience-less playing God, soon there will be another demand, another excuse, another group that ‘deserves’ to die.
The right to life is our most basic human right. Without it, none other matters, Mr. Nicholson. If we become like those despots we despise, justifying one thing after another on this slippery slope to barbarism, it is only a matter of time before you and those you love fit into the category destined for the next purge. That was the downfall of ‘good’ German citizens: there was always some reasonable-sounding justification for getting rid of someone else. There are a lot of myths out there, and a lot of ill-informed emotionalism on death and dying. You have the unique opportunity of holding back this lemming-like rush to destruction. Justice demands that we err on the side of life. May the Justice Minister see fit to do so. Elaine Taylor Telkwa

I called the Town of Smithers today, June 22 and spoke to Crystal who said the Town of Smithers doesn’t have a bylaw against cats. Without that, I am

Northern Lights wildlife shelter opens its doors By Andrew Hudson Smithers/Interior News
For a so-called “nuisance animal,” Peanut is moving up in the world. On Saturday, the orphaned beaver was taking his noon swim in a little tub at the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter. He had a bigger audience than usual. Hundreds of people showed up July 1 for a rare chance to tour Northern Lights at its annual open house. But already this week, Peanut is swimming bigger pools and wowing bigger crowds after graduating to “education animal” at SeaWorld. That’s a not a typical story at Northern Lights, where most of the animals are orphaned or injured bears, moose and deer that are rehabilitated and returned to the wild. Angelika and Peter Langen, who started the Telkwa High Road shelter 22 years ago, go to great lengths to minimize human contact while the animals stay there. But for the last four years, Northern Lights has opened its doors for a single sneak peek. “We believe that education is the cornerstone for wildlife being with
us in the future,” Angelika says. “And you can’t educate with just pictures and video. It’s just not the same.” On Saturday, visitors saw playfighting bear cubs, heard the hiss of a cougar and saw the snowshoe-like paws of a Siberian lynx. Hosting an open house also helps to address a lot of misconceptions people have about the shelter, Langen said, such as the rumour that they release hundreds of bears in the valley. Since 1989, the shelter has released about 200 bears, but all go back to the areas and family units where they were found. In that time, Langen said they’ve had no reports that any of them became problem bears—each one gets an ear tagged and their lip tattooed. Starting last year, a few have gone back wearing a $4,000 GPS radio collar that allows Langen to track them in real time. Next in line are Clover, a Kermode bear and Dawson, a brown bear who had become a nuisance in Dawson Creek, but who conservation officers didn’t want to euthanize at Christmas. Putting a collar on Dawson was one of

his release conditions, Langen explained. Aside from better bear tracking, Northern Lights has seen a lot of new developments. A new moose and deer enclosure that’s four times the size of the old one is nearly done, thanks to a $12,000 grant from the Vancouver Foundation. And Northern Lights has only just started spending the $140,000 Aviva grant it won in January, money that will bring longawaited power and water services so that shelter volunteers no longer have to haul water in by the bucket and scrub down the pens entirely by hand. “We’ve been doing this for 22 years, so the idea of hooking up a power-washer and going for it— we’re going to have a draw to see which one of us has the first goaround,” Langen said.

Edgecumbe set for ITU in New Zealand By Dan Mesec Smithers/Interior News
Smithers triathlete, Marcy Edgecumbe is on her way to the International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Championships in Auckland, New Zealand in October and is looking for a spot on the podium in the biggest competition she’s ever competed in. “This is awesome,” Edgecumbe said. “I get to go to New Zealand and race and travel. I can’t really ask for more.” Edgecumbe’s first triathlon was in 2009 and in 2010, she took competition to the next level, by competing and winning in multiple triathlons. A natural runner and swimmer, she felt it was a natural progression into triathlon after her husband got her into cycling. After that, she began to excel and reach an elite level and knew she had the drive to compete on the world stage. In 2011, two of the races Edgecumbe competed in were qualifiers for the world championships. Winning both the Edmonton ITU and the Kelowna Apple, the ITU Canadian National
Championships, she found the drive to push herself farther than ever before. Although her teammates weren’t surprised, Edgecumbe definitely was. “It kind of happened, now I’m in pretty deep,” she said. Although Edgecumbe may have some reservations about competing at such a prestigious event, her training, according to her coach Robert Bechtel, will give her the strength she needs to stand atop the podium in New Zealand. “Marcy’s training has been going extremely well,” Bechtel said. “She is a dedicated and focused athlete who is incredibly self motivated. While she often trains with other athletes, Bechtel commended Edgecumbe’s discipline to push herself when she trains alone. “I believe this comes from her competitive swimming background, which requires intense focus,” Bechtel said. Edgecumbe’s training consists of some constant continuous circuit training, week in and week out. Biking with an Edmonton road group three times a week, she also runs and swims three to four times a week during her season.
With her intense training regimen, Edgecumbe and Bechtel are confident she’ll be in the top ten, a tough accomplishment being in the fastest age group in competition. “I’d like to be top 10 overall, which would put me in the top three in my age group,” she said. Edgecumbe said one of the keys to her success are the competitions leading up to the worlds, which Bechtel said gives her a real chance at winning the world championships. “I believe Marcy has a very realistic shot at winning her age group at the World Championships in New Zealand,” Bechtel said. “It will be a difficult competition as the Australian and New Zealand athletes are extremely strong in triathlon racing, but her results this year should put her into serious contention.” Two months ago, Edgecumbe was in Kansas City participating in an Olympic distance triathlon racing for the first time as an elite amateur. Last month, she competed in one of the most sought after races in the triathlon community, the Escape from Alcatraz, a 47 kilometre triathlon which starts with a dive off a boat in San

Rain makes for many bugs and happy birds E
nough I say. It’s raining
again. One thing I know for sure is that the bugs are happy and those birds that eat them are so appreciative. I just returned from a walk in the nearby field. The bugs were out in clouds. The birds were doing their best. Barn and tree swallows swept through the air eating what they could. Mountain bluebirds hovered and scooped.
FOR THE BIRDS Brenda Mallory A tiny sparrow of some kind hopped in front of me picking at this and that.
I do hope it was bugs it was eating. I know some of you have built bat boxes. Did you know one bat could eat as many as 1000 mosquitoes in an hour. Some reasearch said a lot more. Today that would have worked. Think about it. Most birds eat som some bugs. Even hu hummingbirds will eat tin tiny spiders. I watched an American redstart flitting here and there catching insects
that it shared with a youngster. If you find a walk is in your daily routine, take the time to walk trails that will show you the amazing display of wildflowers. Wild roses scent the air, Indian paintbrush adds bight colour, chocolate lilies add a subtle beauty to the forest floor. Arnica is still in bloom and a colouful mass of purple and white pea vine edges the trails. I had a call from an old friend in Atlin
telling me about the eagle out at Como Lake. I recall seeing many there when I lived at Como Lake. Reports from all areas about northern flickers. Flickers are a beautiful bird and can make short work of a pile of ants. When I think about my years in Atlin and Cassiar, I’m reminded of the many rhubarb plants that grew wild. If you do pick rhubarb remember that the leaves are
toxic. The stalks are just what some of you might need. Rhubarb is loaded with polyphenals. Some research indicates eating rhubarb might help destroy cancer cells. It works as a laxative and may lower cholesterol. Rhubarb is no slouch in the vitamin department. It contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, K, C, and E, as well as iron, magnesium and potassium
Minding Your Money
I like the stalks just boiled up into a kind of stew. Of course you can add it to muffins or cakes. Kind of got off the topic of birds. Just the same, eat your rhubarb, and let the birds have at the bugs. I do hope your July 1 weekend was a safe one. Great to talk to those who called 250846-5095. Some good pictures of doves and other birds came to mallory@bulkley.net.
RESP answers
A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a great way to save for a child’s post-secondary education. But how you or the student beneficiary accesses those funds, what the money can be used for, and/or transferring an existing RESP to another beneficiary can be complicated. So here are some basic answers to round out your personal RESP education. • Investments that are RESP eligible allows savings to grow tax-free until your child enrolls in a qualifying post-secondary education program. Anyone can each establish an RESP eligible account for a child, but total contributions on behalf of a particular child may not exceed $50,000. • There are three types of RESPs: • A Family Plan allows you to name multiple beneficiaries, each of whom must be “related” to you. In most cases, the beneficiaries must also be siblings (including half-siblings and step-siblings). • An Individual Plan allows you to name one beneficiary, who does not have to be related to you. • A Group Plan ‘pools’ the earnings on your savings with those of other people, and the amount your child receives to pursue post-secondary education is based on how much money is in the ‘pool’ and on the total number of students in that school year. • The Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG)1 is a federal program that provides a matching grant for each RESP contribution made for an eligible child. It is generally worth 20% of the first $2,500 of annual contributions ($500/year), but depending on family income and prior contribution history, could be worth up to $1,100/year. The maximum CESG that can be earned by any one child is $7,200. • The Canada Learning Bond (CLB)* is a federal program that provides $500 bond to an RESP for a child whose family receives the National Child Benefit Supplement, and $100/year for up to 15 subsequent years. The maximum CLB that can be earned by any one child is $2,000. • You can authorize “Educational Assistance Payments” (“EAPs”) from the RESP to the student beneficiary as soon as the student enrolls in a qualifying full- or part-time post-secondary education program. EAPs consist of government bonds and grants and plan accumulated earnings; they do not include contributions. EAPs are taxed to the student beneficiary, who will usually be in a low tax bracket. EAPs must be used to further the student beneficiary’s post-secondary education. • You can withdraw your RESP contributions tax-free at any time for any purpose, but if you make withdraw contributions at a time when your student is ineligible for an EAP, you will be required to repay CESG and perhaps other provincial/ territorial grants*. • Family and Individual plans generally allow siblings under 21 share the contributions, CESG, and accumulated earnings without penalty. These “sharing” rules are quite complex; to verify how they would apply to your plan, contact your plan provider. There may be other restrictions or unexpected consequences (especially with Group Plans) – so before you sign up for a RESP, be sure to talk to your professional advisor. The Canada Education Savings Grant and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) are provided by the Government of Canada. CLB eligibility depends on family income levels. Some provinces make education savings grants available to their residents.

High school hands out awards By Shannon Hurst Hazelton/Interior News
Last week was graduation week for many students in the Hazelton area with both the Gitxsan Wet’suwet’en Education Society programs and Hazelton Secondary School as well as all of the elementary schools. Awards and diplomas were handed out to literally hundreds of students and several received bursaries and scholarships. John Field Elementary School handed out awards to each and every student in both the French Immersion program as well as the regular classes as both teachers and administrators thought it was important to recognize each student for their accomplishments. “I love all my students and it would have been just too
hard to pick only a few to receive an award,” John Field French Immersion teacher Deanna Larson said. “Each student has something great they bring to the class and they should all be recognized for it.” At the high school level, there was a long list of recipients this year with Lia Lazzarotto taking home a total of nine, followed by Jesse de Boer and Alec Busby who both earned five awards. The bursary and scholarship awards in total were as follows: The Bulkley Valley Foundation winners were Danielle Henwood and Lazzarotto who also earned the Bulkley Valley Credit Union bursary. Samuel Wiebe was the winner of the Coast Mountains Administrators Association bursary as well as the Kispiox Music Society Bursary.
District of New Hazelton Councillor, George Burns was on hand to personally hand Rena Fan and Lazzarotto their awards as was Deborah Lowe who presented the Doctors of Wrinch Memorial Hospital award to Fan, Lazzarotto and Carmen Witwer. MLA Doug Donaldson handed out The Dogwood District Authority Awards to Robin Browne, Alec Busby, de Boer, Fan, Chelsea Forsyth, Regan Kern, Lazzarotto and Wiebe. Emily Ward was the recipient of the Harris and Company scholarship and Danielle Henwood was given the Hazelton Communities Bursary. Well known Olympian Carol Huynh’s Family Scholarship was awarded to Alec Busby and the Huynh Family Sport bursary was given to Lazzarotto. See AWARDS on p. B2

Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs 1650 Omenica St., Hazelton, V0J 1Y0 Ph: 250-842-6780 Fx: 250-842-6709
June 27th, 2012
The Society Act, Section 85 he Society Act was contentious at its inception in the mid-’70s. Many aspects did not jive with Gitxsan law. Finally, after a whole day’s debate, it seemed the act was the only vehicle available. We accepted it, but with a rider saying we did so under duress. Yesterday, the very same debate took place some 36 years later. Many Hereditary Chiefs felt the court had no business deciding our protocols or how we run our affairs. The GTS legal counsel explained a concept she felt might satisfy what the court asked for. She explained that the court wants the Gitxsan to solve the defect under the Society Act themselves, and this is what we’re trying to do.
T
All the Hereditary Chiefs were invited to this meeting. Three of the Spookw plaintiffs came and were happy to be there, and other Hereditary Chiefs said the same. Finally, the Chiefs made a decision that one called “unwavering”—the society members will be the head Chiefs of the house groups. This is in keeping with being Gitxsan, and they can live with that. Other Hereditary Chiefs suggested constructive ideas to make things go more
smoothly in the future. Some of the ideas had to do with setting out lines of authority describing what each level does. Each level should be clearly accountable to the authority above, and somewhere there should be a clause on how to resolve conflicts. The Chiefs say these ideas can be in the society’s bylaws or in the Gitxsan society charter. The meeting was very good, and further meetings July 16, 17 and 18 will actually implement what was decided. Speaking as the chair, these decisions marry Gitxsan law with the Society Act as best as can be.
I welcome your comments on this or any other article.

Protect yourself from the sun • Avoid sunburns. Five or more sunburns double your risk of developing skin cancer. • Apply lots of sunscreen. Use sunscreen on all exposed skin. Your sunscreen should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Reapply as necessary, even on cloudy days. • Wear sunglasses. • Sit in the shade. Remember that the sun’s UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to stay in the shade if you are outside during these times. • Be careful near water, snow, and sand. Water, snow, and sand can reflect the damaging rays of the sun and increase your chance of sunburn. • Avoid tanning oils. They do not protect you from the sun, and may increase the chances that you will get a sunburn.
Looking your best this summer starts with good sense and good style 3782 Fourth Avenue • 250-847-5515
Sunless tanners and bronzers Sunless tanners and bronzers can give you a temporary tan without the sun. Sometimes different areas of the skin can color unevenly. Remember to always wash your hands after applying tanning lotion! The lotion can stain your hands. Bronzers stain the skin temporarily. You can take them off with soap and water. They may streak and stain your clothes. Sunless tanners and bronzers may not contain any sunscreen. Remember to read the label! You don’t want to get sunburned accidentally.
What is SPF? The SPF tells the relative amount of sun protection that a sunscreen will give you when used the right way. Sunscreens protect your skin by absorbing and/or reflecting UVA and UVB rays. All sunscreens must have an SPF label. Sunscreens with an SPF of at least 15 are recommended. Although the SPF rating on sunscreen is for UVB rays only, many kinds of sunscreens also include ingredients that protect from UVA rays as well. These are called “broadspectrum” sunscreens and they are highly recommended!

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Widen Art comes to Hazelton By Shannon Hurst Hazelton/Interior News
The Misty River Art Gallery is proudly featuring two new artists and photographers, Ted and Constance Widen in this month’s gallery exhibit. Their stories are as diverse as their artwork Art Gallery facilitator Maggie Carew said. “They are both great artists with unique stories and we are extremely happy to be able to showcase their work,” she explained. For Ted, his artistic journey began with his camera in hand. “There was an old camera at home when I was perhaps twelve and after sending the film away in the mail, I distinctly remember being disappointed in the photos I had taken,” he shared. “The wild ducks on the pond were merely little specks because, well, I didn’t know why. And the pictures were all blurry because... I didn’t have answers for that either.” Most importantly, Ted said what he did know was he didn’t have the photos that he had seen in calendars. “I always had wildlife calendars and wild animals and birds were common in the valley and I wanted to photograph them some day,” he explained. “It was in the 1990s that my interest in photography was allowed to blossom because I finally bought a professionalquality Nikon. “Suddenly I had a
camera and lenses that could produce photos that were like those calendar pictures.” Since then, he has sold his photos to magazines and online projects amongst others. To date, his biggest project has been the production of the Bulkley Valley calendar called “Celebrate the Valley”. Ted’s painting career started at a later age he said adding that his art started with a wellknown child’s toy. “The Etch-a-Sketch allowed me to learn that a lot of time and patience are required to make a picture look good,” he said. “Though I’ve only been painting for a few years, the main problems I expected to encounter quickly became non-issues. “I thought I would have difficulty seeing
the mix of colours in a particular colour that I wanted, and what should be added to a colour in order to make it the colour I wanted. “It’s not unusual now to find myself recognizing that the new leaves have yellow in them, but later in the summer they are more blue, or that the evening sun on the grass makes it much more yellow than in the middle of the day. “Oh no… I’ve become a painter geek.” His new found love of the arts took another turn when he met and fell in love with his wife Constance. “I asked her to help me learn to paint,” he said. “I chose oils, only because that is the medium that seems to be preferred by art buyers and began to paint Bulkley Valley
scenes. “I’m hooked. “Painting now fills any spare time I can find on weekends and evenings.” For Constance, her passion with the brush has been a long and in-depth one that she said she does not think she could live without. “I paint because I cannot do otherwise,” she boldly shared. “I paint because if I don’t, I become unhappy and sad. “I paint the things that have filled, and fill me with joy and excitement, like the ocean and waves which I no longer can see nor hear. “Painting is not a finite journey and the more I learn, the more I realize how little I really know. “Yet all the while I continue trying to achieve what Matisse wrote, ‘I continue painting until the
THANK YOU
hand sings.’” Originally born in South Africa, Constance had the privilege of traveling around the world and then she met Ted. “I flew away from the land of my birth and the life I had when I met and fell completely in love with a gentle Canadian who wrote me poems and asked me to marry him, promising to take me to “Hear the Aurora sing and the wolves howl in concert’,” she recalled. see ART on p.

THREE RIVERS REPORT
Painting stars and wildlife a healing experience ART from A7 “I now live in beautiful British Columbia, a place of towering snowcapped mountains, glacierfed aquamarine rivers and enormous forests teeming with incredible wildlife.
“I have stood on a glacier, caught jumping salmon in enormous rivers and walked through fields carpeted with wildflowers. “One crystal clear night I lay in the field and watched shooting stars streaking above
while learning about the unfamiliar constellations, trying to turn my head upside down so I could see Orion looking the way it did in the Southern Hemisphere.” During the long winter months, Constance
said she likes to paint butterflies as they symbolize to her what it felt like to “fly away to freedom.” She recently broadened her scope with a new series that she will be showcasing at the gallery.
“I painted my ‘Closure Series’ which dealt with personal issues,” she said. “I am currently experimenting with mixed media collages using found pieces to make social and environmental statements
of how I see the world we are currently living in.” The two artists showing will open this Friday, July 6th at 7 p.m. at the Old Riverboat that is now home to the Mistry River Art Gallery in Hazelton.
Bike basics for everyone The Hazelton Cycling Collective is up and running at the Learning Shop in Hazelton every two weeks on Wednesday’s from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The first workshop is this Wednesday, July 4th and will focus on Chains and brakes followed by gears and detailers on July 18th. The third session will be on August 1st and they will discuss and work on wheels and tires. Those interested can by a yearly membership for $15 or for those on lowincome one can be purchased for $10. For those looking for other options, there is a $5 drop in fee or one can volunteer for five hours and get a free membership. For more information contact the Learning Shop at 250-842-6500 or Skyla at 778-2100108.

In a continued effort to encourage higher rates of recovery, BCUOMA has built a strong support network across the province. Today, participation includes 209 brand-owner members, 39 collectors and processors, 520+ return collection facilities and more than 4,000 generators. In addition, BCUOMA is reprising its successful ambassador program this summer – with two ambassadors touring the province to educate and raise awareness of the importance of used oil and antifreeze recycling.
Although it’s commonly accepted that oil and antifreeze are not household garbage we can simply throw out, more than one million litres of used oil ends up in BC landfills every year. When you consider that it only takes one drop of oil to contaminate a million drops of water, the problem is clear: there’s just too many drops to count, too many to ignore. BCUOMA is a non-for-profit organization that encourages British Columbians to responsibly recycle used oil, oil filters, oil containers, used antifreeze and antifreeze containers. Since the launch of the program in 2003, British Columbians have done an exceptional job of recycling their used oil materials.
Protecting our province from the harmful effects of used oil and antifreeze must be a responsibility we all share, together. So please, next time you look to dispose of used oil or antifreeze materials, find a collection facility near you. Here are three easy ways to do so:
ONE DROP MAKES A DIFFERENCE. 2011 RECOVERY RATES
By recycling your used oil and antifreeze products, you’re playing an important role in preserving our environment for future generations. As of July 1, 2011 antifreeze and antifreeze containers have been included within the broader recycling program. From the 10 million litres of automotive antifreeze sold in BC each year, about 45% will be available for collection and recycling. Please check for a collection facility near you.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.
Educate: Test: Share:
Educate yourself, your family and your friends about HIV. Visit HIV101.ca today. The only way to know you are not positive is by getting tested. Request an HIV test today. Please share your new knowledge about HIV with others, and please encourage everyone to get an HIV test.

Nat Rathwell Wall Dec. 25, 1914 - July 02, 1995 “Remembering our grandfather, father-in-law, and above all, friend.” We miss you Poppa!! Natalie, Garnet, and Lyle
Sophie Yeker passed away peacefully at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital on Monday afternoon, June 18, 2012, surrounded by her loving family. She was 83. In the previous week she had connected with many friends in the community. On Thursday, she planted her vegetable garden. On Friday, she suffered a stroke. We were given a few precious days to say goodbye to our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, friend, sister. Sijke Sijtske Sophie van der Meulen (“Tup”) was born in Gorredijk, Friesland on February 6, 1929, to Sjoerd and Egberta Anna van der Meulen. She grew up as one of three siblings: her older brother Pim and younger sister Dineke, both of The Netherlands, survive her. Sophie graduated from highschool in Assen in 1947. She then spent a year attending the Folk Highschool in Denmark, where she became fluent in Danish. She pursued further education at the School of Social Work in Amsterdam from 1948 to 1951. In 1952, she became engaged to her first husband, Hans Hofstede, and she emigrated to Canada. In 1953, Hans and Sophie married in Toronto and came west to the Bulkley Valley. Two children were born in Smithers: Michael and Barbara. In 1958, the family returned to Holland and Margaret was born. Hans passed away tragically in 1959. In 1963, Sophie returned to Canada and married Paul Yeker, Barbara’s godfather and Hans’ close friend. The wedding took place in Winnipeg where Sophie’s brother and his family lived. Sophie and the three children then joined Paul on his Ekman Road farm. In the following years three more children were born: Andrew, Ursula, and Maria. Sophie was an energetic woman. Her life in the Bulkley Valley was filled to the brim with the tasks of farm life, as well as with the hobbies and friendships that were her pleasure. She raised her children, cooked, baked, gardened, harvested, picked berries, churned butter, made cheese and yoghourt, and even rendered bear fat and made soap. She sewed and knitted. In summer she filled our home with big bouquets of wild flowers, and with flowers from her amazing garden. In winter she caught up on her reading: her diverse and ever-extending library included books in four languages. She was a faithful letter writer and kept close contact all her life with friends and relatives in Holland, Switzerland and elsewhere. She welcomed the many visitors from overseas who came to the farm, and she and Paul were able to make several trips back to Europe. In the latter part of her life, Sophie loved being Oma to her seven grandchildren, and took great joy in their lives. Sophie’s Christian faith was central to her life, and she was active in both the United Church and The Christian Community. Sophie leaves behind her grieving family. She will be greatly missed by her husband Paul of 49 years, sons Michael (Joanne) and Andrew, daughters Barbara (Peter) Ambery, Margaret (Bill) Chudyk, Ursula, and Maria (Mike) Harvey, and her grandchildren Colin, Caitlin, Michael, Christopher, Daniel, Stephanie and Naomi. Her sudden passing is mourned too by her brother Pim (Anita), sister Dineke (Jan) Wolters, brotherin-law Paul (Berna) Hofstede in Holland, sister-in-law Fanny Strübin and brother-in-law Hans (Ruth) Jeker in Switzerland, as well as numerous nieces and nephews and their families and many loving friends. As were Mom’s wishes, her body was cremated and her ashes will be scattered on the farm fields, as well as in the North Sea. A Memorial service to celebrate Sophie’s life will be held at the United Church in Smithers on July 21, at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Sophie’s name to Broadway Place Emergency Shelter. Cheques may be made out to Smithers Community Services Association with “Broadway Place donation” noted in the memo, and mailed to Box 3759, or donations made in person at 3815 Railway Avenue. Sophie’s family would like to thank the staff at the Bulkley Valley District Hospital, the Smithers Ambulance Service, and the Telkwa First Responders, for the wonderful care Sophie received in her last days. Special thanks to Dr. Barbara Kotze, Dr. Biz Bastian, and nursing staff. It meant so much to us for Mother to have such compassionate people taking care of her. We also thank Mom’s wide community of friends for all your loving support. The Yeker family

Vernon Edward Zeiler June 5, 1932 in Eatonia, SK to June 9, 2012 in Smithers, BC
Vern was born June 5, 1932 in Eatonia, SK. The family, Gustave, Elizabeth, sons Reiny and Vern, lived in LaPorte, SK before moving to Oliver, B.C. At age fifteen he began teaching himself to play the accordion. Because of a stammering problem he quit school and started work picking fruit and working in the packing houses also helping his Dad wiring houses. The family moved to Yahk, B.C. when he was 18, there he formed a band and they played at dances. For a short time he worked at a sawmill, then the Dept of Highways. Vern then moved onto road construction, operating gravel crushers and other heavy equipment all over B.C. In 1961, he married Cathy Knippelberg in Chilliwack. Shortly after he, Cathy and stepson Mark, moved to Decker Lake where he was hired by the then B.C. Power Commission digging post holes for the new power line to Takysie Lake. Vern always joked that his career with BC Hydro started from the top down. When his supervisor found out that he had worked with diesel engines, he hired him to operate the diesel engines at the Burns Lake power plant. In 1961, their son, Wade Vernon was born and in 1965 daughter Dwona Marie was born. The family moved to Burns Lake and soon after, Cathy passed away. Vern kept his hands and mind occupied by building a boat that is still used to this day. He was introduced to Francois Lake by his good friend, Orville Loveseth. For many years to come Vern and his children spent the summers at “Vern’s Point” at Francois Lake camping, fishing and playing the accordion. In 1969, he hired Anne Thiessen as a nanny and housekeeper. They fell in love and were married later that year. They moved to Prince George for a short time so Vern could get his training as an Industrial Electrician and then settled in Smithers. In 1973, their son Kenneth David was born. Vern was transferred to the Hungry Hill Substation and in 1978 he built their present home at Deep Creek in Quick, B.C. Vern, as the licensed electrician, and Leo Degner, his helper, did all the wiring of the Driftwood Bible Camp kitchen. He also did small wiring jobs as well as many handyman jobs for family and friends. Over the years he and Anne always had a large vegetable garden and sold what they couldn’t use. The garden kept getting a little bigger until one year they harvested a ton of potatoes, 850 lbs of carrots and other vegetables, all by hand. In 1986, because of his love for music and entertaining, he joined the Bulkley Valley Old Time Fiddlers and with them, attended the Burns Lake Bluegrass Festivals and travelled all over B.C. to the yearly Seniors Games as part of the entertainment. In 1988, after Vern retired, he began attending the Kimberly International Old time Accordion Championships with his brother, Reiny. They enjoyed this annual get-together for almost 10 years. Vern was involved in many music events including playing in church and care homes. In 2000, Vern and six of his friends started the Old Time Dance band “Just Us.” In 2000, Vern was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. The disease progressed slowly and he was able to continue with his music and gardening for several more years. In 2009, he became a resident of Bulkley Lodge in Smithers. Vern remained active until he passed away peacefully on June 9, 2012. His family is blessed by the legacy he has left in the faith he lived, knowledge he shared, skills he taught, and character and integrity he showed. The family would like to thank the doctors and the staff at the Lodge for their care, kindness and love they have shown Vern. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Streetcorners Ministries, Box 771, Telkwa, B.C., V0J 2X0. A funeral service was held at the Evangelical Free Church, Smithers. Pastor Dwayne Goertzen officiating. Burial service at the Telkwa Cemetery.
Therese Cecile Shack Nov. 19, 1928 to June 24, 2012
What is a Mom? She’s words that encourage, hugs that care, and hands that help when you need it the most. She’s the voice of experience, the wisdom that guides, and eyes that see the best in you always. A mom is a gift in your life. Predeceased by husband, Bill, April 19, 1971. Survived by Ken (Maureen) Shack, Donna (Lyle) Herrington, Brian (Pam) Shack, Arlene (Colin) McIntosh, grandchildren Jason, Calvin, William, Leeann, Aaron, Danny, David, and great grandchildren Joshua, Bryce, Nevaeh. The memorial service will be held July 13 at 1 p.m. at R. A. Schrader Funeral Home for family only. An open memorial tea will be held July 14 from 2-4 p.m. at Pioneer Place Activity Centre. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BV Child Development Centre.
