STAMPEDE BOUND THE TRADITIONAL WAY

As school ends for the summer, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is holding a member vote, seeking a mandate to reject “government interference” in province-wide bargaining. Outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert notified 40,000 public school teachers of the vote in a letter sent out Monday. Teachers have until Friday June 28 to vote, however, Cariboo Chilcotin Teachers’ Federation president Joan Erb hopes to have all the local votes in by 4 p.m. Thursday so she can count them and submit them in time for the BCTF deadline of noon, Friday. Hoping for a good turnout, Erb said voting has been held at workplace sites throughout the district for convenience. Gailene William photo

City continues cleaning up after storm Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer City crews have been busy ever since a torrential rain storm dumped an estimated two inches of water in about 20 minutes in parts of Williams Lake Saturday. “We know a guy who had a glass of water out on his deck and after the storm it was still sitting there and had two and half inches of water in it,” said the city’s acting chief administrative officer Geoff Goodall. “I’ve never seen rain like that, it was incredible and it overwhelmed everything we own here.” Most of the manholes in the lower sections of the city popped lids because the entire storm system surcharged. The worst part hit the downtown, northeast and toward the

Fraser River. One section of Fourth Avenue near Cariboo Lodge filled with water. Water went up against the lodge, blew in two windows, and street water poured into the basement. “That place is giant and there were eight to ten inches of water through the entire foot print of Cariboo Lodge,” Goodall said. The storm destroyed gardens and lawns and many people had flooded basements. There was damage to a storm water outlet in the river valley below Comer Street, numerous washouts, and a 15 metre-section of one lane of Mackenzie Avenue looks like it’s been undermined. Cindy Nadeau was teaching Food Safe at Thompson Rivers University on Western Avenue

and said the hail that fell was so loud she had to stop teaching during the storm. Then the power flickered and the projector and computer stopped working for a bit. Once the storm was over she went back to teaching, but when her students went out for a break they noticed there were a couple of inches of water at one end of the building by the washrooms. “There were two to three inches of water down by the washrooms,” Nadeau said. From his house partly way up Dog Creek Road, Goodall watched the “ominous” storm move in. “It was mind boggling,” he said. “This tall black cloud came in, and then all of a sudden it just seemed to drop into the valley and before you knew it

the clouds were below the tops of the hills, swirling and whipping around.” There were numerous lightning strikes that appeared as if they were striking somewhere in the valley, he added. The tension crack along the top of the river valley near the abandoned Jack Pine Forest Products site on Frizzi Road dropped down, Goodall said. It didn’t go all the way down to the bottom and into the creek, although some debris ended up in a gully below and crews have been working to remove the debris. Within 10 minutes of the storm hitting, city staff were out in full force, Goodall said. They worked late into the evening Saturday and full crews were out Sunday and have continued through the week cleaning up.

MVIs, noisy parties keep police busy Williams Lake RCMP responded to approximately 85 calls for service last weekend including numerous reports of assaults, motor vehicle incidents and noisy parties.

June 22 Police were called to a car explosion at 3:50 a.m. and located a burning car on Woodland Drive near Westridge Drive. A trail of oil could

been seen approximately 50 meters from the Westridge Drive intersection on Highway 20 to the burning car. The fire department arrived to extinguish the fire. A subsequent investigation revealed the vehicle had been stolen from a residence. The matter is still under investigation. *** During the torrential rain storm Saturday a collision occurred near 730 Oliver Street at approximately 1:43 p.m. Police attended and located a blue Pontiac, which had rear-ended a grey Chrysler. Both drivers were taken to hospital with neck and back related injuries, while two passengers in one of the vehicles, due to their age, were taken to hospital for precaution. Police spoke with a witness on scene. It appears that the collision was due to the torrential rains that had fallen.

BBQ FOR A CAUSE

Corp. Chris Romanchych serves Perry Vitoratos during the Cops for Cancer BBQ held June 21 at the Credit Union.

*** At 7:55 p.m. a complainant reported the passenger side window of a vehicle had been smashed while parked at the Seniors Village located at 1455 Western Ave. The owner of the vehicle was located and it was determined that nothing had been taken from the vehicle. A suspect identified in the vicinity could not be confirmed as being responsible for the damage. June 23 Police responded to a report at 9:30 a.m. that both rear tires were punctured on a vehicle parked on Fourth Avenue North. Neighbours in the area also apparently had flat tires as well. The matter is still under investigation. *** At 12:30 p.m. police responded to a report of a collision on Falcon

Friday, June 28th 1 - 5 pm

Road near Blake’s Moving and Storage. The driver was located with head injuries and transported to the hospital by EHS. The matter is still under investigation. *** Police are seeking witnesses to an altercation that occurred at closing around 2 a.m. on June 22 at the Grey Fox Pub/ Diamonds and Dust Lounge. According to the victims there may have been as many as 20 people in the parking lot at the time of the altercation. Anyone that witnessed this incident is asked to call the Williams Lake RCMP.

Kwaleen says goodbye with games and barbecue Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer Kwaleen Traditional Elementary School wrapped up its 2013 school year and the end of an era with a final student versus parents soccer game and barbecue. Parent Audrey Waterhouse says all current and past alumni of Kwaleen Traditional School were invited to attend the event held at the school on Monday, June 17. “It was a bittersweet night looking at all the old pictures and reminiscing with all of the people who turned out for this event even on the short notice,” Waterhouse said in her e-mail, sent along with pictures from the event. “Here are some pictures to commemorate the great event that has been part of Kwaleen for many years.” Once again, Waterhouse says the Royal Purple women were a huge part of this event by serving hamburgers to all the hungry parents and children while the soccer games continued from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. between the little bursts of rain that fell. “We had cake cutting with all the children and now adults of previous Kwaleen students at 6 p.m.,” Waterhouse said. “We even had a graduate Jackie Laflamme from 1976 show up near

Parents and students in final soccer games. the end of the night to relive the past glory days of Kwaleen.” Waterhouse said the one statement echoing from everyone’s lips was the question to those (trustees) who decided to close their school. “What were they thinking?” Kwaleen opened in 1966 and is closing for good as a public elementary school on Friday. Students are actually finished classes today but teachers stay on for an administrative day on Friday. “It will really set in tomorrow, I think, when we say goodbye to Kwaleen permanently,” PAC president Katie Dyck said Wednesday. “I personally am expecting a lot of tears, and I’m sure I will shed some of them. I think most people are feeling upset because Kwaleen is such a great school, and it has a proven track record of academic excellence.” Glendale Elementary School will follow suit in closing for good at the end of July, although French immersion students at that school also

finish their year today. Glendale and Kwaleen join the long list of schools that are closing in the district as cost saving measures to meet enrolment requirements and budget constraints imposed by Victoria. Except for school of choice applications, the student populations of Kwaleen and Glendale elementary schools will move to other designated elementary schools. Kwaleen students move to Chilcotin Road elementary in September. Glendale French students move to Nesika, and the year-round English program now at Glendale moves to Cataline elementary. To accommodate the school closures, Grade 7s are being moved out of the elementary schools and into a new consolidated secondary school on two campuses (former Columneetza and Williams Lake secondary schools). Kwaleen and Glendale join a long list of school properties the school board is looking to unload. The school board re-

lice also confirmed that alcohol and excessive speed were factors in the incident. On Monday at 1:30 a.m. the Williams Lake RCMP were called to a single roll over MVI on Chimney Lake Road near Brunson Lake. Upon responding, police determined the Dodge Ram pickup

truck involved in the incident was stolen from Grand Prairie, Alberta. The suspects had replaced the truck’s license plate with a stolen one from Chetwynd, B.C. A 22-year-old male passenger from Williams Lake was found deceased at the scene of the accident and a 21-year-old passenger who sustained

SD27 cuts $2.6 million Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer The closure of four schools and reconfiguration of Williams Lake and area schools will result in an estimated savings of $1,242,510 for School District 27. The district’s 2013/14 budget was finalized by trustees at their regular meeting in Williams Lake Tuesday evening. The budget is balanced this year at $60,730,052, reported

secretary treasurer Bonnie Roller. She said the district had to make up $2.6 million in order to balance the budget from structural deficits and a funding reduction imposed by the provincial government. The rest of the savings come from a decrease in salaries due to enrolment decline, an overall decrease in employee benefits and general budget refinement. Roller said the district also had to use a

one-time surplus payment of $300,000 from their benefit carrier. This was to ensure the district did not have to rely on prior years surplus funding. “We need it now,” Roller said. This will be Roller’s last budget with SD 27 before moving to Penticton where she will become secretary treasurer for SD 67 (Okanagan Skaha). Roller has worked with SD27 for 32 years, the last six as secretarytreasurer.

Males in fatal rollover linked to thefts and frauds: RCMP Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Details emerging from the single fatal vehicle incident on Chimney Lake Road near Williams Lake Monday show the five males involved were connected to multiple thefts and frauds in the Williams Lake area, the RCMP said Tuesday. Po-

serious injuries is currently in critical condition. A third passenger was arrested at the scene without incident. The 21-year-old driver and one of the passengers fled on foot and stole a Toyota Tundra from a nearby residence. After a brief pursuit with assistance from police dog services, police

apprehended both males and took them into custody. When their real identities were verified it was determined both males are from Alberta and the driver had outstanding warrants from that province. Police found a .22 calibre firearm, a knife and brass knuckles in the stolen vehicle.

Suspect names and those of the deceased and injured will not be released at this time, the RCMP said. Chimney Lake Road is off the beaten track so when asked what the males were doing there in the first place, Const. Lesley Smith, District Advisory NCO North District Media Relations

said the RCMP are noticing more and more that rural areas are being targeted by prolific offenders because of outbuildings that may possess bobcats, boats, ATVs and equipment. “There are no areas that are safe from people that are driving around looking for property,” Smith said.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 27 (CARIBOO-CHILCOTIN) Seeking Expressions of Interest for the Purchase or Long Term Lease of School District Owned Properties City of Williams Lake photo

Mayor Kerry Cook, Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown and MADD Williams Lake Chapter president Pam Herman with one of several newly installed signs in and around Williams Lake.

New signs direct people to report impaired drivers Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer Identifying impaired drivers and boaters is part of a new public campaign launched in Williams Lake. Under the leadership of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) Williams Lake Chapter, signs encouraging the public to report impaired drivers have been installed in and around the city. With the support of mayor and council, Insp. Warren Brown and the RCMP detachment, and director of municipal services Kevin Goldfuss, MADD has installed 10 Call 911 signs around Williams Lake and a Report Impaired Boating sign at Scout Island, said MADD president Pam Herman, adding with the help of Desi Cheverie from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, two boating signs have also been installed at Chimney Lake. The initiative is part of a larger program funded by MADD in the province that has resulted in 45 signs being put up by BC Parks. In the Cariboo region there are signs at the Green Lake, Lac La Hache and Ten Mile Lake boat launches. Herman has been hoping to have the signs installed for four years. When she noticed that

Delta had received some signs she contacted the MADD B.C. manager and asked if Williams Lake could participate. “It was just a matter of asking and MADD sent the signs,” Herman said. The boating signs were created through Transport Canada and MADD, while the Report Impaired Drivers (RID) signs were a special project for MADD Canada, with Speedpro Signs producing the signs for Williams Lake. “I’m also trying to get permission to let us put some signs on all the entrances to Williams Lake but that falls under the Ministry of Transportation,” Herman added. “Williams Lake is proud to bring this important program to our city,” said Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook. “With every impaired driver stopped, you are potentially saving a life or preventing an injury. Everyone has a role to play in keeping our roads and communities safe.” Impaired driving claims between 1,250 and 1,500 lives each year. Another 63,000 people are injured in impairment- related crashes. Alcohol is a factor in more than 40 per cent of boating fatalities, 37 per cent of boaters in Canada admit to consuming alcohol every time they boat, and nearly two-thirds

admit to consuming alcohol sometimes when boating. Herman first became involved with educating the public about impaired driving through a party program in Williams Lake at the high schools that was geared to students. Eventually she joined MADD because she’d seen too many funerals of students and had even spoke at several. “My first year with the party program at Williams Lake Secondary school 14 years ago, two former students were killed in a drinking driving accident at the 150,” she recalled. Those were kids she had worked with for four years, watched leave school at a time in their lives when they could have done great things, and then suddenly they were gone. “That was my motivation to join and try to make a difference,” Herman said. While the party program no longer exists, MADD visits the schools every year to make a multimedia presentation. Recently Herman held an AGM for MADD and only four people attended. It would be nice to have more members of the community involved, but chuckling Herman said the chapter “muddles” through and does the best it can.

Interested parties are invited to drop in to an open house to discuss and receive input in seeking expressions of interest for the purchase or long term lease of available School District owned properties. Wednesday, 26 June 2013 Thursday, 27 June 2013

Stampede spirit in full swing

Bring on the Stampede

t’s Stampede time again, and businesses and residents are decorated, dressed up, and ready to rodeo! It’s great to see the whole city in the Stampede spirit! The New Prosperity Mine panel review hearings are scheduled to begin July 22, and will last for no more than 30 days. This is the final stage of the public review process. These hearings are an opportunity From the for the Mayor’s pubic Chair to give Kerry Cook t h e i r views on the project and its relationship to the future of the Cariboo. New Prosperity represents $1 billion investment in the region. After the public hearings, the Review Panel will have a maximum of 70 days to write and submit a report to the federal Minister of Environment. The Government of Canada will then have a maximum of 120 days to decide if it will grant authorization for the project to go ahead. The Ministry of Transportation held its third meeting on the proposed four-laning of Highway 97 on a stretch between Carson Drive and Fox Mountain yesterday. This is a huge, important project that will improve safety on this stretch of the highway, and will have some impacts on City streets nearby. There is so much fun for the whole family for the next four days, starting with breakfasts and two Stampede Performances on Friday, and ending with the Canada Day celebration in Boitanio Park Monday afternoon. In between are more Stampede performances, Rotary Steakouts, the Stampede Parade, and the Street Party, plus much more. Thanks so much to the hundreds of volunteers that put on these incredible events for us all. I encourage everyone to make the most of this weekend with your families. Have fun and see you there! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Enjoy our city and the Stampede Locals and visitors should have a rockin’ time this weekend at the many annual events taking place in our community, the main one being the World Famous Williams Lake Stampede, which kicks off tomorrow and runs through to Monday. Cariboo-Chilcotin residents are no strangers to rodeo time in Williams Lake. After all, the Stampede has been around for the last 87 years. But if you haven’t been to it in recent years, be sure to check it out this time because you are in for a treat. This year, the Stampede will boast not only four rodeo performances, but five, including the always popular Mountain Horse Race. Last year’s race presented some pretty tense moments with some scary close calls. Let’s hope everyone makes it around and down the mountain safely

this year. Visitors, we hope you enjoy your time in Williams Lake. In addition to checking out the rodeo, take time to visit some of the other events taking place in the lakecity, including the Stampede Parade on Saturday morning, the street party that will follow it, the Canada Day celebrations on Monday in Boitanio Park, and many other fun activities. Also, be sure to pop by some of our local businesses, who already have their storefronts dressed up in festive, western-themed decor to celebrate our annual Stampede. We are looking forward to the rodeo and accompanying events. See you around town. Dust off your hat, put on your boots and be part of the show! - Williams Lake Tribune

hat an exciting weekend we have coming up here in Williams Lake! With the Williams Lake Stampede bringing four days of rodeo fun and Canada Day celebrations topping off the long weekend, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. This will be the Stampede’s 87th year, celebrating a legacy of cowboy spirit and community fun. There will be a lot of tourists c o m ing in MLA from all Musings over the provDonna Barnett ince, the country, and even from overseas to enjoy the Stampede, and anyone that has been here for past editions of this event knows why. The rodeo is sure to amaze, with bull riding, barrel racing, bronc riding, tie down roping, and much more. Apart from the rodeo, there will also be a parade, a street party, steak out dinner, and plenty of other events, making for great family fun. One of the most popular events every year is the Mountain Race, where riders come skyrocketing down the mountain on horseback and finish right at the grand stand, where you can be a part of the excitement and cheer on the riders. I can’t wait to take part in some of the Stampede events myself, and I’m especially looking forward to lending a hand at the rotary breakfast, attending the rodeo, and participating in the parade. I hope you will join me in celebrating our community at all these events as well as at Canada Day festivities in both Williams Lake and 108 Mile House. On Friday, don’t forget to wear red to the rodeo to show your support for the men and women serving in our armed forces. These selfless men and women serve with distinction whenever and wherever our country calls on them, so let’s recognize their dedication by wearing red this Friday. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Names should have been voted on Editor: Re: Name changes, Williams Lake Secondary School and Columneetza Secondary School. I totally do not agree with the name changes of the above mentioned schools. I am sure many who graduated from the senior secondary school of Columneetza are in the same state of mind. In perspective, it is not very often a name of a school is a genuine name in a First Nations language. Any school names in Williams Lake are mostly in English. Columneetza Senior Secondary School was an acceptable name. I am wondering who decided in the changes of the school names. Was there a proper voting in this name change? Or was it a way of getting rid of a beautiful name like Columneetza? I feel it is up to the peo-

ple in local and remote communities to make the final decision of the name change. Columneetza Secondary School set a good standard. I was proud to have graduated from Columneetza. As of today, what are we to celebrate when we have a forty year graduation ceremony? They should withhold or rescind the school names chosen until an appropriate school name is selected properly or settled. Would it have been better to have a vote in the names selected instead of telling the people about what names are appropriate for a school name and simultaneously the school board allowed a school name to be voted upon without the public’s knowledge? And that’s how I felt it was done. Which means the whole method of choosing a school name wasn’t done in a fair pro-

cess. I heard many people were surprised of the changes and many didn’t know of those changes happening until just recently. Lets be honest and prudent of this whole process or action in the changes of a school name. There are many people who would like the school name to remain the same. Maybe it should’ve been called “Columneetza Campus One” and the other, “Columneetza Campus Two?” We talk about bullying not being permissible. Isn’t this a form of bullying? The school board should have respected the First Nations culture before considering any name change which should have been approved by all Chiefs in the district.

NEWS

Hail and high water grants ranchers leave for Stampede Weather has dominated the news for the past two weeks, particularly in western Canada. It has been a wild, frightening and very costly period for multitudes of citizens and businesses. The topic, characterized by the extreme shifts from nice to nasty and vice versa in a matter of moments is also the lead topic in most casual conversations in the Cariboo region of late. Almost every single soul you run into has some kind of a weather-story to relate. Last Saturday many

Cattle Fodder Liz Twan spots in Williams Lake were hit with a lou-lou of a hail and rain storm which wrought severe damage while nearby areas received only light rain. The spring/summer of 2012 was unusually

dry (drought); in a complete reversal, the past two weeks of June have likely delivered more precipitation than was received in the entire summer of 2012. The labour on a ranch or farm opera-

tion is programmed, intimately intertwined with the whims and variations in the daily weather. So, the daily thunder and lightning storms are more than an inconvenience on a ranch operation where summer work involves irrigation, with the water being delivered to the field via aluminum pipe. Yes, there is great danger involved in picking up a 15 to 20 foot (or more) length of

aluminum with lightning cracking and spitting all around you. The absurdity of the situation is that often the rainfall that follows the electrical storm is not sufficient moisture for the crop to thrive on so irrigation must continue; but timing pipe movements (between electrical events) is a tricky process. Many outfits also have crews out fixing and repairing fence

(particularly on summer range) or building new fence; stretching fence wire in long spans is also not an electricalevent friendly activity. The hay is ready to cut, but the field is too wet to drive on. The ground is so saturated in some areas that the big, heavy tractors and swathers will leave big ruts in the ground that would be impossible to eradicate without ploughing under the

whole section. So one must wait. Patience is being tested. For each successive day past optimum ripeness that this crop sits uncut, the quality of the harvested product is comprised. The growing season for the next crop is also reduced by the same circumstance, therefore compromising the quality of the second crop as well. We might as well go to Stampede.

Potato House part of WL Stampede Street Party celebrations Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The city’s Potato House, currently the only designated heritage house in the city, will be open for visitors during the Stampede Street Party Saturday. Ever since Earth Day Marin Patenaude of Horsefly has been busy at the Potato House located at the corner of First Avenue and Borland Street. On April 22 she started work as the new executive director of the Potato House Project and since then has expended a ton of energy sprucing up the grounds, preparing community garden beds, and new composting bins for a new community composting program. “It’s hard to get work done because of the amazing amount of people dropping in,” Patenaude chuckled. “But that’s part of the job, the community outreach.” Community workshops are being held at the Potato House. On May 31, Patenaude conducted a workshop on how to set up a compost pile. She taught layering, the ratio of carbon to nitrogen, and then demonstrated how to use pallets to make a completely affordable compost. “We usually talk in terms of browns and greens when it comes to composting. Your browns are your leaves and your greens are your grass clippings and food waste.” By composting you’re feeding a vast bacteria and fungi, she said, adding at home she composts religiously. She’s a gardener and said she doesn’t want to pay for compost or buy a bag of it, which as a byproduct supports packaging and consumerism in general. “I’ve always been an avid composter because it’s fabulous stuff,” she said. “You hardly have to fertilize your garden all year if you just put compost in at the beginning.” Eventually she will establish a vermiculture system at the Potato House. “That’s really wonder-

They are completely clean. “It’s like having a pet and you gain beautiful compost out of it.” A lot of people are resistant to composting with the ‘ick’ factor, but Patenaude said if a significant percentage of waste ending up in landfills is compostable it’s a no-brainer that people should be composting. Recent statistics from the Cariboo Regional District estimate 525 tons of compostable food and garden waste

are collected in Williams Lake for disposal every year. This is costing taxpayers around $50,000 per year based on $100 per tonne for transportation, operations, and reclamation at Gibraltar Mine. Patenaude ran a landscaping company in Vancouver and landscaped for over a decade while living there. One of her clients only employed her to do aesthetic gardening, and she said that bothered her because she was making the property look beautiful, but she wasn’t helping produce something people could eat. “My mother is an

absolutely amazing gardener too,” she added. A local Small Plot Intensive (S.P.I.N.) farmer is utilizing some of the community garden space, which is drawing local attention. “It’s fabulous and gets people excited seeing this huge amount of farming happening on the Potato House land so the rest of the community gets activated.” On Friday, June 7, Maggie Ranger shared her knowledge of medicinal uses for common local plants that was well attended and Sue Hemphill and Jurgen Hornberg hosted a pot luck and alpine flower and garden tour in Horsefly on June 15. “There’s a lot of fantastic community support,” Patenaude said, adding the Potato House is always eager to receive donations of farm equipment and plants. Soon after she said that a woman drove up the back alley and asked Patenaude if she wanted some rhubarb plants. “The support has been fabulous,” she said afterwards. “Hillside Farms donated some heritage plant flowers and we are also focusing on having an indigenous plant garden here.” Eventually the plants will have labels with information on them as

well as how they can be used for cooking or medicinal purpose. Through the summer she anticipates going full tilt, and then when things quiet down in the winter she’ll focus on grant writing and the Potato House itself. “Right now we’re very land based, doing the community garden, the composting, the SPIN

gardening and the landscaping and that’s all out doors.” Erecting a new fence is also on her to-do list. “The house itself needs some major renovations,” she explained. “We want to preserve the heritage elements of the house. That will be next.” Earlier in the winter someone broke into the

house, perhaps more than once, but Patenaude said there hasn’t been any sign since she started working there. “Before nothing was happening here and it looked vacant and empty.” Now, however, she’s noticed an element of respect that surrounds the place.

Tribune file photo

This year’s 87th annual Williams Lake Stampede will feature five rodeos as opposed to its usual four, beginning Friday morning with the first performance at 11:45 a.m. The action gets underway again Friday at 5:45 p.m., followed by back-to-back performances Saturday and Sunday, both at 12:45 p.m., before the final rodeo performance wraps up the Stampede Monday at 1 p.m.

Williams Lake Stampede starts Friday Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer You can bet your boots rodeo fans will be singing praises to the rodeo gods when the 87th annual Williams Lake Stampede rides into town with not just four, but five, performances this weekend. Fred Thomas, president of the Williams Lake Stampede Association, said this year’s rodeo will feature around 400 contestants battling for $160,000 in prize money spread over five rodeo performances, some of who are the best in the world. He said the decision to add an extra rodeo performance on Friday morning to the Stampede will give spectators another opportunity to see some of the top cowboys and cowgirls compete.

“Instead of having another performance what we’ve had is what they call in the rodeo trade, slack, where people compete but they don’t compete in front of a paid audience,” Thomas said. “So what we did was eliminated the slack. It’s good for some of the rough stock cowboys, too, because it gives them another opportunity to compete at a time when it allows them to get to other rodeos.” Thomas said this year’s talent pool is also one of the deepest he’s seen in years. On Friday the reigning world all-around champion and seventime world all-around champion, Trevor Brazile of Texas, will be competing in tie-down roping, team roping and possibly steer wrestling. Additionally, Chilliwack na-

tive Lee Graves, the 2005 Steer Wrestling World Champion and five-time Canadian steer wrestling champion, is back healthy this season and will be competing in tie-down roping, team roping and steer wrestling. “There’s a lot of good contestants here this year,” he said. “I took a look at the contestant list the other day and in the top 20 of the world standings right now we probably have seven to 10 of those contestants coming here to Williams Lake. A lot of them are Americans.” A new rodeo clown, Brian Potter, will also make his debut at this year’s Stampede. Potter is from Newville, Alabama, and the Stampede will be his first working trip anywhere in Canada. Potter will be joined by 20-

year rodeo announcing veteran, Alberta’s Tyson Pietsch. Rodeo performances go twice on Friday — the first at 11:45 a.m. followed by the second at 5:45 p.m. Friday’s evening performance will also feature the exchange of the Williams Lake Stampede Queen and Princess crowns. On Saturday the third rodeo gets underway at 12:45 p.m. Sunday’s Tough Enough to Wear Pink rodeo goes, again, at 12:45 p.m., before Monday’s fifth rodeo at 1 p.m. concludes the weekend’s festivities. Tickets to the Stampede are available at the Stampede Office behind the grandstand at the Stampede Grounds. For a complete schedule of events visit www.williamslakestampede.com.

The Williams Lake Rustlers and Hustlers Rugby Football Club host its 33rd Annual Stampede Rugby Tournament at the fields on Ottoman Drive. Teams from around the province will be in Williams Lake. Both men’s, ladies’ and an old boy’s division get underway Saturday morning with play scheduled throughout the day. Sunday, playoff matchups will begin by around noon with semifinals and finals to follow.

Friday, June 28 to Monday, July 1

Williams Lake Stampede The Annual Williams Lake Stampede returns for the 87th time starting this Friday and stretching throughout the weekend. There’s literally no break in the action from Friday at 7 a.m., starting with Family Fun Day, until Monday’s final rodeo performance at 1 p.m. New this year, instead of four rodeo performances, there will be five. Friday’s first rodeo starts at 11:45 a.m. followed by the second performance Friday at 5:45 p.m. For a complete list of rodeo events including entertainment schedules, trade fair schedules and more visit www.williamslakestampede.com.

the Lakers Car Club and the Horsepower Hooligans showed off a few of their cars. Crowds lined the sidewalks to catch the racers descend down the course for trophies, medals and fun. Racers were paired off by weight and age into competitive classes. Every racer walked away from the event with a medal. Winning their respective weight classes were Weston Becker, Cameron Prest and Brett Melville.

The hard-luck trophy went to Maria Becker, while Soloman Akeson won the hardluck medal. John Paul Albinati and Rene Albinati of the Horsepower Hooligans also built a ‘Mystery Machine’ Scooby-Doo replica soap box van which was raffled off to Jesse Galloway. Proceeds from the barbecue portion of the soap box races went to the Child Development Centre in Williams Lake.

My name is Brittany Klingmann. I am a physiotherapist at ProPhysioworks in Williams Lake and am a recreational cyclist (road and mountain). Summer is finally here! Time to dust off the bike, pump up the tires, oil the chain and come out to enjoy the sunshine and spectacular scenery Williams Lake has to offer. Whether you are regularly active, an avid cyclist or thinking it’s about time to find a new fitness challenge, the 21st annual Tour de Cariboo on Sept. 7 is the perfect event for you. This is a major fundraiser for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Williams Lake. All the money raised through the event remains in Williams Lake and benefits more than 100 local children through programs such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Couples for Kids, InSchool Mentoring and Student Mentoring. The Tour de Cariboo is a very scenic 76-kilometre bike ride from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake. Some riders are competitive and treat the event as a race while others choose a more leisurely pace to enjoy the

necessary. Once you reach Gavin Lake there is plenty of time to socialize, shower, swim or just relax. Massages will be available to riders after completing their journey — a perfect remedy for fatigued muscles. Participants and volunteers are then rewarded with a fabulous buffet supper, as well as musical entertainment. Festivities will continue into the evening so if you’d like to stay the night you can take advantage of the heated cabin accommodations at Gavin Lake or bring your own tent or trailer. Early bird registration is $40, and as this is a very important fundraiser for Williams Lake Big Brothers and Big Sisters, each rider is required to raise a minimum pledge of $100. There are motivational prizes for top pledge earners. Sign up for the Tour de Cariboo today. to register contact BBBS at 250-398-8391 or register online at www.bbswlake.com.

Lakecity clubs geared up for Stampede Rugby Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer A 33-year tradition will continue this weekend when the annual Stampede Rugby Tournament rolls into town. Rodger Stewart, president of the Williams Lake Rustlers Rugby Football Club, said men’s and ladies’ teams from around the province, and two teams from Alberta, will be in Williams Lake at the rugby fields on Ottoman Drive for the tournament. An additional 40 players will make up an old boys’ division, Stewart said. On the women’s side, the Williams Lake Hustlers will be looking to win the tournament for the fourth consecutive year. And in the men’s division, Stewart said the Rustlers will be fielding one of its strongest sides in years. “The men’s side is probably more com-

petitive than they have been in probably the last decade or so,” Rodger said. “There’s an expectation that they’re going to get deep into the playoff side on Sunday. I think their expectation is to try to get into the final but to at least be able to battle into the semis.” But based on the teams and calibre of players travelling to compete at the tournament that might be easier said than done, Rodger added. “When you get into the semis you’re dealing with some very high quality rugby,” Stewart said. “I was looking at the final the last three years and looking at the calibre of player on the field at that time and you realize of the 30 guys on the pitch at that time you’ve got a preponderance of first division and premier division players, generally from the Lower Mainland leagues that are playing.

“You kind of go: This is high-quality stuff to be played on a little pitch on the side of an Interior B.C. community. It’s pretty powerful material to be watching.” This year Williams Lake has a few of those high-calibre players, and Stewart hopes that will help them play deep into the playoffs on Sunday. He said in recent years a local core of players including Sky Freeman, Riley Ilnicki, Nathan Stewart, Brendon Pritchard and Jordan Pritchard have helped bolster the squad’s strength. “Basically you’ve got those guys who are essentially recent high school grads that are now the core of the Williams Lake Rustlers — local boys that come back in here to help power the team.” Nathan, for example, has spent the past two seasons playing with the University of Victoria Vikings’

rugby club and has recruited a couple of his buddies to the Rustlers for the summer. “They’re bringing people with them like Beau Parker, Kane Wyatt and Doug Fraser, and we’ve got new talent like Andrew Faggiani from Quesnel, and what a powerhouse he’s turned out to be,” Rodger said. “With the combined guys coming back from university and the people they’ve brought working with the hardcore locals here we’ve got the potential to make it into the semifinal and, hopefully, if we can pull it off, get into the final game for once.” Rugby gets underway Saturday at 9 a.m. with the opening kickoff and continues throughout the day until about 5 p.m. Sunday morning round robin matchups will conclude, followed by quarterfinals and semifinals in all three divisions by around

noon. The final is scheduled to begin around 3 p.m. depending on the flow of the games over the two days and the final number of teams participating. Rodger said anyone interested in watching some high-quality rugby or anyone wanting to know more about the sport is more than welcome to come check out the action. “Anybody who’s curious about rugby is certainly welcome to come up and take in a few games,” he said. “Hook up with any of the club members, ask questions if you’re curious about the game and curious about the club because there will be many people there who will be able to help build understandings.” A concession will be running all weekend by the city’s high school rugby players with proceeds going to the high school junior rugby development fund.

Geocaching catches on in the west Chilcotin Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Geocaching may be the next big craze to entice tourists into the back country, members of the West Chilcotin Tourism Association (WCTA) were told at their June 8 annual general meeting in Tatlayoko Valley. Heidy Lenz, Program director for the WCTA, told the 22 people in attendance that geocaching is a low impact, non-consumptive activity whole families can enjoy. The use of geo-positioning equipment (GPS units) isn’t reliant on cell phone service, which makes it perfect for the West Chilcotin. “It’s an activity for people who love to go outdoors,” Lenz added, explaining that Bob Abbott, a summer resident of Anahim Lake, has already established 80 geocaches in the area and is poised to put out a bunch more. Lenz invited WCTA members in Tatlayoko and other parts of the region to get involved with Abbott, to broaden the geocaching network and landbase. Some members suggested placing geocaches in interesting and unusual places in the backcountry, like on islands in various lakes, on mountain trails or even on mountain peaks. From a tourism operator’s perspective, this activity would give visitors something interesting to do in the region, and give them reason to visit the area or stay longer. “It’s an on-line, high tech treasure hunt,” Heidy said. Donn Irwin, owner of The Dean on Nimpo Resort, said he had two couples from Quesnel last year who came specifically to the West Chilcotin to go geocaching. Duncan Stewart of Stewart’s Resort and Camps said Abbott’s goal is to have 1,000 geocaches in the area. “But he needs our help maintaining them and setting them up.” Lenz said she plans to set up a Facebook page for geocaching on the group’s West Chilcotin website. Amy Thacker, CEO of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association, said tourism promoters in Gold Country in the Thompson Okanagan region have tied geocaching with gold stories of the region. “Each cache has a researched story in it. It’s a way of sharing the locals’ knowledge of the country.” Thacker said there is a strong international geocaching movement. “Some people are quite fanatical about it.” She said some groups take the

Morris Bates concert Morris Bates, the lakecity’s popular home-grown Elvis tribute artist has his voice back and will be giving a one night concert in Williams June 29 to celebrate his new CD Our Land. Raised at Sugar Cane, Bates discovered early on in his youth that he looked and sounded just like Elvis and built his musical career as an Elvis tribute artist. He travelled the world with his show and had the longest one-man show in Las Vegas, other than Wayne Newton before his voice gave out due to overstrain. He went on to become a social worker in Vancouver, write his own story and work to inspire First Nations youth to be all they can be. Bates will be in concert at the Gibraltar Room, Saturday, June 29 starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at Margett’s Meats and Audio Video Unlimited. Sage Birchwater photos

In other WCTA business, Duncan Stewart accepted the nomination to join the sevenperson board after Kerry Jacox

of Nimpo Lake Resort decided to step down. Stewart gave a report on the Vancouver Outdoor Adventure & Travel Show, which he said had a good volume of good quality people, and quality presentations. With the tourism industry in the midst of significant change, Stewart said he attended the Vancouver show to learn as much as he could about new trends coming down the pike. “I was there to listen,” he said. “Our fishermen clientele is down 60 per cent from ten years ago. In response to that we developed air tours, and found that Europeans want to fly in floatplanes.” Stewart concluded that the people attending the Vancouver show are potential customers for tourism in the West Chilcotin. “There are a lot of people in Vancouver who haven’t seen the rest of BC,” he said. “Vancouver is a huge resource of people.” Ernest Hall of Bella Coola Valley Tourism, said tourism operators in the West Chilcotin and Bella Coola Valley have one asset in common and that’s the Discovery Coast Ferry between Port

Hardy and Bella Coola. He said it’s in the best interest of the tourism industry and local economy is to encourage the ferry customers to linger longer in the region by providing interesting and fun things to do. “We need more stops of interest for tourists to visit.” Hall said Bella Coola Valley Tourism is putting up four-byeight-foot Alumicor signs describing local points of interest. He said the signs cost under $400, can be decorated with large format photo images, and are maintenance-free. “We are getting businesses to sponsor the signs. They can tag their logos along the bottom.” Stewart said there are several viewpoints along Highway 20 that could benefit from information signs. Donn Irwin put a plug in for retaining log and rail fencing along the highway to preserve the rustic character of the West Chilcotin. “It’s a shame to see our legacy of Russell and snake fences being replaced by wire fencing. We need to retain as many log rail fences as possible,” he said.

150 Mile heritage school house opens to public Those with a little nostalgia will have a chance to relive their old schooldays this summer. The Little Red Schoolhouse at 150 Mile will be opening its doors to the public for July and August, starting Tuesday, July 2. The building was built in 1986 and was used as a school in the community for more than 60 years. Now a heritage building, the 150 Mile Greenbelt and Heritage Society has received funding to run the school house as a tourist site over the summer. The schoolhouse will be open 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays with a summer student manning the doors. “We want to showcase the school for tourists coming by and for community residents to have a look and see what things used to be like,” said John Howrup, one of the organizers. “Come in a relive the old days,” he said.

Best parade theme entry wins $500 It’s time to get your game on for the Daybreak Rotary Williams Lake Stampede Parade. The theme this year is Fun N’ Games and it’s not too late to enter a float! “We’re approaching 70 entries so we should be over 100 by the time we’re done,” said Erik Zweirs, one of five parade marshals organizing the parade this year. There are entries coming from around 100 Mile, Quesnel, Prince George. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Alex Debogorski, from the History Channel’s Ice Road Truckers, who will be driving in the parade for James Western Star Truck & Trailer. “You’re going to see a lot of everything: a lot of horses, a lot of First Nation floats, a lot of kids right up to seniors, a lot of colour, sounds and music,” said Zweirs. The parade starts at 10 a.m. for those who want to watch and the route will be the same as last year: following Fourth Avenue from Proctor Street, turning

left on Borland heading right onto Oliver, and then straight down until it turns right on First Avenue, ending on the corner of Proctor and First. For entries however, registration and assembly starts at 7 a.m. and the judging happens at 8 a.m. precisely. The best themed entry wins a $500 cash prize. New this year is a $250 prize for the best dressed animal (that isn’t a horse). There will also be a $100 prize for the best live musical band. “We wanted to try something different and see if people wanted to bring some of their pets along,” said Zwiers. “We are hoping that people can have some fun with it.” Other prizes are as follows: In the Equine category: best dressed cowboy; best dressed cowgirl; horse group; and buggy/wagon. In the Float category: best municipal; commercial; youth; and community group. In the Youth category: best dressed girl (14 & under); best dressed

boy (14 $ under). In the Automotive category: antique car/truck (1900-1950); classic car/ truck (1950-2006); special interest car/truck; best decorated rig; and

best stock car. There are also awards for bands and mascots. The parade is also still looking for volunteers to help with the barricades, said Zweirs.

Winning play back on stage, two nights only Gaeil Farrar Tribune Staff Writer For those who missed the opportunity to see the Studio Theatre’s award-winning production of Over the River and Through the Woods -— there will be two more stagings of the play next week. The play will be performed at the Studio Theatre Tuesday, July 2 and Wednesday July 3 before heading to the Mainstage provincial festival in Kamloops on Friday. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. and the shows start at 8 p.m. sharp. Admission for these productions will be by

Cathie Hamm and Curt Sprickerhoff in a scene from Over the River and Through the Woods on stage for two nights only next Tuesday and Wednesday. Admission is by donation at the door. donation at the door. Director Tony Savile is looking forward to bringing the play to

Mainstage not only as a challenge to win best play in the province, but as a learning expe-

rience. “It’s an opportunity to hone your skills and learn more about the craft at numerous workshops,” Savile says. The festival will showcase the winning plays from the 10 theatre zones in B.C. During the provincial competition the plays have four hours to raise their sets and one hour to strike the set after the production is finished. “We can get our set up in two hours,” Savile says. Over the River and Through the Woods won best play plus several other top awards at the Central Interior

Zone Drama Festival held in Kersley this spring. Savile says the cast and crew have been working on some of the suggestions provided by the adjudicator for the zone festival, which he says means picking up the pace of some scenes, raising the volume of the grandparents who are known for being loud, while still maintaining the emotional intensity of the scenes. “It’s a fine balance keeping the emotion there and the energy up at the same time,” Savile says. “We’re very excited about going to the provincial festival.”

Free Teen Idol music training offered Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer

Children and teens who want to learn to sing will have a new opportunity this summer. The Women’s Contact Society is hosting Teen Idol, a free program for both male and female youth to learn how to sing or work on singing this summer. Angela Sommer of Angelkeys Music Studio will be teaching two groups of kids, one aged six to 12 and one aged 13 to 16 who want to

learn new skills and improve their singing. “Angela really believes music is something that improves people’s self esteem and gives them a positive experience,” said Irene Willsie, the executive director for the Women’s Contact Society. “I hope that people will come out and try it. Angela is very easy to work with and really positive and fun,” she said. The program will be held July 2 until July 25 on Tuesdays and Thurs-

days from 1 p.m. until 3:15. Participants are asked to pick and write down three songs that they want to learn and submit them to the Women’s Contact Society. Youth will learn stage presence, group numbers, and how to work with both karaoke and live piano accompaniment, all using fun pop songs. At the end of the program there will be an invite only performance of all the songs worked on.

The Women’s Contact Society received funding for the program from the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Society. “It’s always good to introduce kids and teens to music, to any of the arts,” said Willsie. The idea follows a program the Contact Society did with women over the winter to help them experience music and explore something new. This program, however, is not only for female youth.

Convention addresses elder care Win Gooding

Special to The Tribune Summer certainly came in with a royal bang this year. I can’t remember in my lifetime going through a more terrifying experience of thunder, lightning and torrential downpour of hail and rain. It sure did a number of flattening my flowers and the local gardens in the area. Let’s hope that July will bring us some relief and sunshine before summer is over. Seniors and persons interested in the B.C. Old Age Pensioners convention in the Princeton/Similkameen Branch of the OAPO June 11-13 should know that the event was very well attended with 12 B.C. OAPO board members, 40 delegates and 22 non-voting visitors. Jennifer Coburn was re-elected as president for two years as well as Betty Bolton, secretary

and Marg Seward on finance. Alice Edge, a member of Council of Senior Citizens Organizations (COSCO), was the keynote speaker on the Tuesday. She spoke on addiction of seniors regarding abuse of alcohol and misuse of prescription drugs and gambling addiction and treatment of these abuses. A workshop was held later. On Wednesday speaker Sylvia Phifer of COSCO gave a workshop on pensions, tax options, and involuntary separation of seniors. A form ISO-1811 for involuntary separation is available at the local Service Canada office. In the afternoon guest speaker, Dr. Mary Ann Murphy from the gerontology department of the University of B.C. emphasized how important it is to have well trained nurses taking care of the aging popu-

lation in our hospitals and care facilities. Each year our local OAPO Branch 93 provides a bursary to a local student taking training in the field of gerontology nursing. Next year the local branch of the Old Age Pensioners Organization Branch 93 will hold the BCCAP convention in June 2014. In 2014 the local OAPO Branch 93 will celebrate its 40th year. This year’s convention in Princeton/Similkameen was great and our delegates came away with a better understanding of how important it is to attend these conventions and represent our OAPO Branch 93 for our local community as a whole. There will be no monthly meetings for the OAPO Branch 93 in July and August. The next meeting will be on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. at the Seniors’ Activity Centre. New members are

always welcome to attend so we hope to see some new faces at the September meeting. Please note that the Seniors’ Centre will be closed for two weeks in mid-August. The volunteers need a much deserved rest. Until next time remember: our lives begin to end when we remain silent on issues that really matter — Martin Luther King.

NEWS

“They call the Cariboo home” Jamie Tanis, woman behind the Stampede Queen contestants Tara Sprickerhoff Tribune Staff Writer Behind the curls, the dresses, the crowns and the horses of the Williams Lake Stampede Queens there is one woman who quietly organizes the whole thing. Perhaps you shouldn’t say ‘quietly.’ Jamie Tanis, the Williams Lake Stampede Association director holding the Queen’s portfolio is energetic and lively one-on-one, but she prefers to remain behind the scenes when it comes to organizing the Stampede Queen program. “I’m a people person. I’m a one-on-one people person. I’m not big on talking in front of a big crowd. That’s not my thing,” Tanis says. However, Tanis never shies away from meeting new people. One day she got lost trying to find Highway 20 from Stum Lake with a friend. “We wound our way around and got out to civilization and there were some houses. It was like ‘eeny meeny miny mo, who’s the new friend we are going to meet today?’” she said. “I think that comes from growing up in a town of 500 from the time that I was six till 18. You knew everybody and everybody knew you.” Tanis hails from small-town Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. She met her husband, James, at the Multnomah School of the Bible in the “big city” of Portland, Ore. “There were more people on the campus than I’d grown up with. It was culture shock,” she said. After five years and a long distance relationship, the couple finally got married in 1985. They moved to Williams Lake the following year. James and his family are from the area; he grew up in Puntzi Lake and

had lived both in Alexis Creek and in town. “I was going to come with my husband for a year to get to know his family and the community. I’m still here,” Tanis said. “It’s been a long year.” The couple now has two grown children, Sarah and Braden who grew up here. “I came here and looked at Williams Lake and thought, it’s not too huge — I’m not a big city girl — but it’s not so small that you can’t access services locally and have your kids participate in schools,” she said. Soon after arrival she started volunteering in the lakecity. “When you’re in a community — this is my view — you need to participate in the community and you need to give back. You need to volunteer. You need to find something that you are either passionate about to start with or some-

thing to develop a passion for. You might not know about the thing that you volunteer with but have a willingness to learn,” she said. Tanis would be the first to tell you she knows “diddly squat” about horses or rodeo. “Every year I’ve tried to learn something because when I started, and I still joke about it, I barely knew one end of a horse from another.” When she started volunteering with the Stampede, she organized first aid for the stands. Not too many years later she was asked if she would let her name stand as a Stampede director with the Queen’s portfolio. In her day job, Tanis works as a social worker with the ministry of children and families. She said she loves working with youth because she wants “to help people reach their full potential and help them do the

Taking on that portfolio was a good fit for me because it was with girls and helping them achieve their best. It’s been amazing. I just love watching the girls develop from when they become a contestant to the end, just before coronation,” Tanis said. Throughout the summer, Tanis will be mainly organiz-

ing the girls’ schedules and budget, but as a treat to herself, she accompanies them on their trip to the Canadian Rodeo Finals in Edmonton. “I decided that I needed to learn a little more about what life is like on the road for these girls,” she said. “You get to learn a whole lot more about their personalities and the bobby pins that are flying around the room.” In her spare time, Tanis enjoys getting outdoors, fishing, hiking and exploring the backroads of the area, even as she admits that directions are not her strong point. However, she forsees herself continuing to work with the Stampede Queen program for a long while yet. “Youth are wonderful. We as adults can learn so much from them.”

When her father Preston died early at the age of 36, the family moved into Edmonton. Audrey met Hugh MacLise at a dance in Grimshaw, Alberta, and the couple were married in 1955. They moved to BC in 1961, first living in Penticton, then moving to Williams Lake in 1962.

Obituaries

Audrey had a varied work history. In her early years, she worked in a ladies wear store and for several oil companies in Alberta. After relocating to Williams Lake, she worked for the college teaching accounting courses, and also worked at the Williams Lake Tribune as advertising manager. Audrey developed an interest in real estate and got her real estate license in 1973. In 1975, she opened her own real estate office, MacLise Realty Ltd. In 1977, her husband Hugh retired from a long career as a pharmacist and joined Audrey in the real estate business. They worked together for many years and established a solid company. Hugh became ill and passed away in 1998. Audrey continued in real estate until her retirement in 1998. Audrey then turned her attention to community work and advocacy. She found great personal satisfaction from making a difference in the lives of others. She enjoyed a challenge, and did not mind being an outspoken advocate for issues affecting seniors in this community. Audrey was instrumental in the development of the Elder College, Seniors Advisory Council, Alzheimer’s Resource Center, and Alzheimer Support Groups. Audrey was predeceased by her husband Hugh MacLise, sister Margaret (Didi) and brother Benjamin Stanley Bugden. Audrey will be lovingly remembered by her sister Norma (John) Crozier of Namao, Alberta, her daughter Alison, son Scot (Adele) and granddaughter Emily, sister-inlaw Eleanor MacLise of Winnipeg, Manitoba, sister-inlaw Eileen MacLise of Nanaimo, numerous nieces and nephews and many close friends and acquaintances.
