Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The city’s chief administrative officer Darrel Garceau, 56, resigned Monday citing personal reasons. “In the last year I’ve had some things happen in my personal life that have made me reflect,” Garceau said of his decision to quit. “I realized I needed to make

some changes. It’s all about my family, nothing earth shattering.” His last day of employment will be March 11, although with holidays owed to him his last physical day will be Feb. 19. Garceau’s resignation came as a surprise and is a disappointment, said Mayor Walt Cobb. “We will have an in-camera meeting Tuesday so we’ll talk about it and the process we have

to go through to advertise,” Cobb said, adding Garceau has been very dedicated to the job. Garceau and his wife moved to Williams Lake from Westlock, Alta. an hour north of Edmonton in July 2013 when he was hired for the position as CAO. The Garceaus purchased a home in the city and have been enjoying canoeing and skiing in the region.

“I am sad to leave my job in some ways,” Garceau said. “We’ve achieved a lot and have lots more on the go.” Garceau said he thinks Williams Lake is a great community and he has enjoyed his job, as well. He added he hasn’t decided whether he and his wife will move away once his job is finished at city hall. “That’s sort of up in the air and undetermined right now.”

Committee recommends mental health changes Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer B.C. needs a Minister of Mental Health. That is one of 23 recommendations coming from the all-party Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth in its unanimous report issued last week. “The committee felt there needed to be one place for accountability to drive the integrated approach and get the funding that’s necessary at the cabinet table,” said Doug Donaldson, MLA for Stikine, and deputy chair of the committee. “There are so many different agencies and ministries that are part of the puzzle so we think having one entry point will be a lot easier.” Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre executive director Nancy Gale made a presentation to the standing committee

In some of the horrific cases we’ve learned about recently there’s been too long of a delay.” - Doug Donaldson, MLA for Stikine and deputy chair of the Select Standing Committe on Children and Youth as it met with various individuals and organizations over the last two years. “I talked about some of the work the Cariboo Regional District did identifying mental health gaps and talked about what needs to happen next, particularly for children who live in rural communities,” Gale said. Another recommendation in the report is a

30-day window for assessment and another 30 days for treatment. “In some of the horrific cases we’ve learned about recently there’s been too long of a delay,” Donaldson said. “I’m not exactly happy about 60 days, but it will be better than what we’ve had and could help prevent kids from falling through the cracks.” When the legislature

resumes on Feb. 9, the report will be presented for adoption and Donaldson is hoping the recommendations will be implemented. “It would be a good thing because as the report says, children and youth are suffering as a result of significant weaknesses in the system and that’s a disservice,” Donaldson said. “We in the northern and rural areas really

understand those gaps in services.” The committee’s recommendations are the result of two years of work and public consultations with individuals, experts, and organizations involved in the delivery of child and youth mental health services. “We heard that there are some excellent child and youth mental health programs, but there is a need for concrete actions for changes that would provide greater co-ordination, better accessibility, and improved service delivery to meet the needs of children, youth, and their families,” said committee chair Jane Thornthwaite. The committee’s report is available at: bit. ly/1P4tsho.

How to divvy up the land?

Upcoming legislative session

POWDER HOUND

ecent mining news. In an opinion piece in the Province newspaper, Gavin Dirom, CEO of the Association of Mineral Exploration for B.C., says his industry needs better access to land if it is to prosper and enrich the province. Of course it does. The problem is, B.C. has a limited amount of land — how to divvy it up? Mr. Dirom feels too much land is tied up in parks, restricted areas and “other designated areas.” Like agricultural land? Forested land? First Nations land? Case in point. China Minerals Mining Corp, which has offices in Vancouver and Beijing, and its subsidiary Cassiar Gold Corp, has filed a petition with the BC Supreme Court seeking to reverse part of a B.C. government’s French transfer of Crown Connection land in northern Diana French B.C. to the Kaska Dena. According the Globe and Mail, China Minerals holds mineral tenure on some of the transferred land and has invested some $36-million in exploration and drilling. The company says it wasn’t consulted, and the First Nation group’s plan for a hydroelectric project is incompatible with developing gold mines. The province says it has acted in accordance with its legal obligations. The company says the issue should concern all resource companies in the province. I’m sure it does. In other mining news, the BC Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit filed in 2012 by Taseko Mines against the Wilderness Committee (WC) claiming the environmental group made defamatory statements about the proposed New Prosperity Mine during the public comment period. Many believed it was a (SLAPP) case, a “strategic lawsuit against public participation.” SLAPPs are usually intended to stifle protests. They tend to work in favour of corporations who launch the suits because the defending critics seldom have the resources to go to court so they shut up. In this case, WC did defend itself and the Hon. Justice Gordon Funt awarded the group court costs and extra costs incurred from the lawsuit. According to reports, Taseko is continuing with two judicial reviews against the federal government’s decision to disallow the mine. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

Our Viewpoint

Talk about mental illness One in five Canadians suffers with a mental illness, but according to the Canadian Mental Health Association, mental illness affects everyone in some form. We all know someone who has experienced mental illness at some point. Whether we have talked about it with them is another issue. It’s a heavy burden for anyone to have on their shoulders, so let’s share the load and allow our friends and loved ones to share that burden. By talking about mental illnesses we can help break down the barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the help they need and deserve, and is their constitutional right. While the words we use to describe mental illnesses have changed drastically over the years, some common misconceptions have not. Myth: Mental illnesses aren’t real illnesses. These are not the regular ups and downs of life. They do not go away on their own. Myth: Mental illnesses are just excuses for bad behaviour. While it is true that some people who experience mental illnesses may act in a way that is unexpected or may seem strange to some, it is the illness – not the person – that is behind these behaviours. Myth: People who suffer from mental illnesses are weak. While stress impacts everyone’s well being,

people who experience mental illnesses may actually be better at managing stress. Taking care of yourself is not a sign of weakness, but actually a sign of the strength it takes to get help. Myth: Bad parenting causes mental illnesses. No one factor can cause mental illnesses. They are complex conditions that arise from a combination of genetics, biology, environment and life experiences. Myth: Kids can’t have mental illnesses, they are adult problems. Everyone, even children, can experience mental illness. Many first appear when a person is younger, and they often present differently in children. It is estimated that only about one out of five children in Canada receives the mental health services they require. Mental illnesses come in a variety of forms, ranging from depression or post-traumatic stress disorder to eating or anxiety based disorders. They affect everyone that surrounds the person suffering, including significant others, children and friends. By starting a conversation, the hope is to light a spark that may inspire some change within a household. Once that dialogue is flowing, change can happen. People will get the help they need. It could even save a life. - Black Press

he legislative session begins on Feb. 9. During the legislative session, our government will continue to work to grow our strong and diverse economy. Budget 2016 will be unveiled Feb. 16. As part of Budget 2016, our government is considering a number of options that would help B.C. families, seniors and individuals with the cost of living. This includes potential changes to help reduce the cost of health care premiums, particularly among lower income individuals. Starting Jan. 1, 2017, Medical Services Plan premiums will no longer be charged for children. This change will have a significant effect on the cost of living for single-parent families. Each family’s monthly rate will be based on the number of adults in the household. For example, a MLA single parent with Musings two children will be charged the single Coralee Oakes adult rate, rather than the threeperson rate as they are today. While at the legislature I will continue to advocate on your behalf. My constituency office, located at #401 410 Kinchant St. in Quesnel, is open Monday by appointment and Tuesday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed between 12 and 1 p.m. If you have any questions or concerns, please stop by. My constituency assistants Kiley Sales and Sheila Mitchell will be happy to help. You can also contact my constituency office at 250-991-0296 or, toll free 1-866-991-0296. You can also e-mail coralee. oakes.mla@leg.bc.ca. This Monday, Feb. 8, offers families the chance to spend some extra time together with B.C.’s fourth annual Family Day. Families are at the heart of who we are here in B.C. Family Day recognizes and celebrates the important role that families play in building successful citizens, vibrant communities and a strong B.C. Our government is helping to support special events and activities across the province, including here in Williams Lake. If you’re looking for some fun activities for the whole family to enjoy on Monday, Feb. 8, I encourage you to go to the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Skate from 12 to 1:30 p.m. and swim from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. free of charge. I wish you all a safe and happy Family Day with your family, friends and loved ones. Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction.

MORE VIEWPOINTS

Industry needs to be held accountable Editor: The community endured two go-rounds of Federal Panel hearings about the Prosperity Mine proposal by Taseko Mines — at great expense to taxpayers and causing considerable stress and division within the community. The results of both panel hearings were the same. However, when people want to learn what really happened to cause the disastrous breach of the Mount Polley Mines tailings facility, there is no federal inquiry, and no answers to the many questions that concerned

residents want answers to. So it would seem that there is not a level playing field, that industry has all the advantages, and that justice is only a concept, and does not exist in these cases. I would like to see more people working to make the community more economically viable, but I would also like to see accountability by industry when there is such a huge disaster as the breach which polluted Quesnel Lake with toxic chemicals. In point of fact, Imperial Metals has damaged a lake that should have been considered a national treasure. And if employment is the is-

sue, then why does the government not employ hundreds of workers to restore the health of our forests, doing reclamation, clearing out the dead and windfall pine, making fire guards, etc. This would be a great benefit to the forests and an economic (and social) benefit to the community. I hope my letter reflects these views, as I am not opposed to economic development at all. But I am very opposed to irresponsible industry causing serious harm to our environments. Michael Atwood Chimney Lake

Time and compassion needed for gang problem Editor: Williams Lake has had gang issues for close to half a century. Drugs were common in high school in the 1970s. Hepatitis C is an epidemic because of I.V. use. Murdered victims of gang-related violence has happened for decades. It’s a known fact that big-time gangs recruit young troubled kids to do their dirty deeds whether it’s selling drugs, sex, or stealing cars. The kids are from any economic, race, or educational background.

Chances are they are missing a sense of love and belonging with a community of thousands. When we resort to the SWAT team, the community has failed. Preventive measures have been ignored. Along with poverty, there has been great wealth in the community yet very few have contributed sweat or dollars towards empowerment of the children with creative, constructive stimulation available to all children where talents and skills of good nature are learned,

building confidence and responsibly encouraging them to make good decisions for themselves and alternative lifestyles. We are an intelligent, talented and caring community. We have skills, professionals, artists, athletes and vacant publicly owned buildings. Let us have time and compassion to begin a cultural centre where we can all belong.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is our worst nightmare Editor: Darcy Martens wrote a letter a couple of weeks ago, “Give Justin Trudeau a Chance.” She thinks 500 hate mongers arriving in Canada will be balanced by 24,500 who will make us stronger. These 500 are potential psychopaths with guns, terrorists in our mind, they think they are holy warriors. Mr. Harper thought we could stretch ourselves, safely screen and take 10,000 refugees. The USA with 10 times our population are having trouble tak-

ing 10,000 refugees. We can’t phone up the Syrian Ministry of Family Affairs for records or to verify if these “refugees” are who they say they are or even if they are Syrian. Trudeau wants to prove he’s more macho than Harper, hence 25,000 is a bigger number he has chosen and hoping they will vote Liberal in the next election. That’s 25,000 people who need everything from tooth brushes, medical, housing, spending money, courtesy of us. There are 420 homeless in

Williams Lake, there is no available housing in Abbotsford and Victoria. The courts have ruled the homeless can live in tent cities in city parks. What is Trudeau going to do for Canadian homeless? Do they get free housing too? Half the people don’t have family doctors. There aren’t enough surgeons etc. Now, we’ll have 25,000 more needy people getting medical. We already have the longest wait times for surgeries in the western world. Ten-thousand refugees was

a stretch but with luck doable, 25,000 is just feeding a small man’s ego. These “refugees” come from a misogynist culture which has been violently intolerant of Jews, Christians, homosexuals and other Muslims who don’t believe the same as them. As a grandpa I think it is short sighted to look at the world with rose coloured glasses. Trudeau is going to be a disaster for our economy, our promised $10 billion deficit each year has already grown to $12 billion, his green dream

will become our nightmare. Now, Trudeau is promising to bring in 50,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, why doesn’t he fast track the thousands of legal immigrants who are going through all the paperwork and bureucracy and waiting in their home country to come and live here and have something to contribute to our country. I hope there is a “Stop Trudeau” movement by the next election. Alan Trenzek Williams Lake

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Power Line Corridors 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation under, above and near BC Hydro’s power lines in order to maintain the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro manages its transmission and distribution system and associated power line corridors, access roads and helipads. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

membership it says it has unanimously decided that 2016 will be a year for growth and planning for next year’s event, taking the time to find the right people to fill the many roles instead of jumping in and risking a compromised festival experience. In the meantime locals can still show support to arts and culture by attending the society’s fundraiser events throughout the year, such as the Safety Meeting concert series currently in full swing.

Keep an eye out for dates and times of upcoming AOF events! “We sincerely thank all of the attendees, volunteers, and artists over the years and look forward to celebrating with you again next year,” the press release noted. “And to all of our supporters, sponsors, and partners — we couldn’t do it without you. To get involved with the festival society, to volunteer or donate, we would love to hear from you. Write to info@artsonthefly.com.”

WLMHA mourns loss of hockey coach Angie Mindus Staff Writer Parents and players of the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association are mourning the sudden death of longtime volunteer hockey coach and dad, Derek Christianson. C h r i s t i a n s o n ’s sons Maverick and Dane have been avid hockey players in the WLMHA since they were very young and their dad volunteered as an assistant coach through the novice, atom and peewee divisions. His wife Christine also volunteers with the association as a team mom. WLMHA Atom division co-ordinator Kris Beaulne said the death is a terrible loss for the family and also for Williams Lake. “Derek will be greatly missed by the WLMHA as he was a beloved coach of his elder son’s peewee team and mentor,” Beaulne said Mon-

day. Customers and staff at Spectra Power Sports, where Christianson helped out over spring break up, are also mourning the loss. “It was very sudden and sad,” said Spectra owner Heino Seibert of the news of the death. As well as his interests in hockey, Christianson, who was also known as Diggler, was an avid outdoorsman who loved dirt biking, snowmobiling and stock car racing. “Derek was a very nice man. He was a tough guy on the outside but really he was one of the softest-hearted guys I’ve known,” said Seibert. “He was very generous with his time. He would help anyone really. He’d be the guy who would stop and help someone on the side of the road, even if he had nothing to give.” A celebration of life is planned for

IS YOUR FACIAL HAIR GROWTH CAUSING ANXIETY & DEPRESSION?

The B.C. government is preparing legislation to formalize its 10-year project to protect and share logging management on a vast area of the B.C. coast with forest companies and 26 coastal First Nations. The agreement puts 85 per cent of the world’s largest intact temperate rainforest off limits to logging, and also makes permanent a ban on commercial grizzly bear hunting that was announced for much of the central and north coast region in 2009.

ment that still requires federal approval. “I stand here today proud, happy, but still a little bit upset that it’s taken this long,” Smith said. Rick Jeffery, representing the industry group of Interfor, Catalyst, Western Forest Products and the provincial agency B.C. Timber Sales, said the agreement means an end to conflict and protest, with stable access to 550,000 hectares of forest harvest land. “We know now where we can operate and what the running rules are,” Jeffrey said. Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the B.C. government will provide $15 million over five years to help aboriginal communities start their own forest companies. The deal also turns over forest carbon credit rights to First Nations, which could be sold as offsets for natural gas development. Richard Brooks of Greenpeace Canada said when environmentalists began to push for preservation of the region, 95 per cent of the forest was available for logging, and now 85 per

cent is protected. The agreement formally began in 2006 when a land use plan covering about a third of the region was adopted, and work started on a compromise between industry, First Nations and environmental groups that had been organizing boycotts of B.C. forest products. The B.C. and federal governments put up $30 million each to create a larger plan using “ecosystem-based management” and aboriginal rights. The U.S. Nature Conservancy put up a matching $60 million, raised mainly from U.S. private foundations, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Environmental groups Greenpeace, Sierra Club and ForestEthics represented the foundations, and have since argued that too much old-growth forest would continue to be logged under the plan.

NEWS MP calls for national PTSD framework Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Canada needs a national framework for people suffering the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) said Cariboo-Prince George Conservative MP Todd Doherty. “We need to be able to provide support as well as treatment for first responders or military personnel so they can get the help they need,” Doherty said after he tabled a private member’s bill for the national framework in the House of Commons Thursday. He acknowledged there are many local, provincial and federal organizations doing “incredible” work, but said he’s calling for a nationally co-ordinated effort on the problem. The bill is something Doherty has been working on for more than a year. Leading up to the federal election last October, he had discussions with local firefighters, police officers, corrections workers, paramedics and veterans who shared their personal

Cariboo-Prince George Conservative MP Todd Doherty stories. “You hear of firefighters who attend a car accident or house fire where victims have perished, or the police officer who acts on a domestic call where there are crimes against children,” Doherty said. “It wears on people” The Tema Conter Memorial Trust, an organization dedicat-

stress and PTSD, has a ticker on its website indicating three first responders and one military personnel have already died by suicide in 2016. In 2015, the ticker indicates 39 first responders and 12 military personnel died by suicide. “We need treatment for people to prevent another unnecessary death,” Doherty said. Earlier this month Simon Fraser University announced it is launching a program for first responders to manage PTSD through its continuing studies department beginning in the fall. It will be the first of its kind in Canada. The course will train those on the front lines of Canadian emergency and military services to protect themselves from the impact

of workplace trauma. Taught by active and retired first responders and related professionals, the program will provide police, fire, ambulance and military personnel with the specialized knowledge and skills they need to mitigate the effects of trauma before, during and after an incident occurs. The program was developed in partnership with The Tema Conter Memorial Trust. Doherty said so far his bill has been met with positive support and is the first step in moving forward to support PTSD sufferers. “For me these people are super heroes,” he added. “They’re the ones who run toward danger when most of us run in the opposite direction.”

Big Game Banquet

Williams Lake’s Brock Hoyer takes his spot in first place on the podium after winning round one of the National Snow Bike MX Championship Race Series in McCall, Idaho on Saturday.

Hoyer takes first in snow bike race Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Williams Lake’s Brock Hoyer is at it again, this time claiming first place in round one of the National Snow Bike MX Championship Race Series in McCall, Idaho on Saturday. “We had a pretty good amount of snow,” Hoyer said of the racing conditions, as he travelled back to Williams Lake Monday. “It started getting foggy and snowing so it wasn’t the best visibility, but you go with it.” The motocross course he competed on is about one minute long with jumps, corners, straights and obstacles. Hoyer has participated in the race three times in a row, winning each time, he said. When Hoyer reached the finish line after doing his five laps,

he had a “fairly good gap,” he said. “There were about five guys who were pretty quick for sure.” Vernon’s Reagan Seig joined Hoyer on the podium Saturday, garnering second place. The two Canadians were one of close to 60 competitors in the race. Hoyer is hoping to participate in the bulk of the race series, which totals five rounds. The other four rounds are slated for Feb. 13 at Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, March 12 at West Yellowstone, Montana, March 19 at Eden, Utah and April 16 at Boise, Idaho. “A couple of the races are really far away,” Hoyer said of the distance he would have to travel from Williams Lake to participate. Hoyer grew up in the Cariboo

SPORTS Lillooet bouldering gym dedicated to Todd Jenkins was often on the road travelling as the front man and vocalist of The Rebel Spell punk band. He’d been a climber for many years, Judy said, and was admired

at the REC Centre. “It’s a real honour to have it done,” Judy said. “He and his brother, Cory, did a lot of climbing together and he also did some climb-

ing with his brother, Lee. “We’re all really, really excited about it and really honoured by it. It’s something that will be there for a long time.”

The Lillooet REC Centre’s Bouldering Gym has been dedicated to an avid member of its climbing community, Williams Lake’s Todd Jenkins.

Todd Jenkins Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The memory of a Williams Lake rock climber is being honoured in the community of Lillooet.

Avid climber Todd Jenkins. 41, had been working in the community’s REC Centre as a lifeguard until his death in March of 2015 when he fell climbing in the Black Velvet Canyon area of Nevada, west of Las Vegas. Recently, the District of L i l l o o e t ’s city council

made the decision to dedicate its REC Centre Bouldering Gym to Todd, who was instrumental in its construction. Todd’s mom, Judy Jenkins, said her son thought there was a lot of potential in the Lillooet area for climbing and is honoured by the gesture. “He got it into his head he wanted to make a bouldering gym and he worked really hard on it,” Judy said. “He donated a lot of equipment and materials for it and got it done.” Todd then began teaching bouldering to anyone interested. “He was always mentoring somebody about something,” Judy said. “That was his thing. He would help kids and young adults that wanted to try it to get into it.” A dedication cer-

emony is scheduled for a to-be-announced date where a memorial plaque will be placed in Todd’s honour. Todd grew up in Williams Lake, but also lived in Vancouver and Lillooet with his partner, Anna-Raye, and

Haphazard History: Live Yank remembered Barry Sale Smart 55

In my last column I wrote about William “The Live Yank” Luce, a miner and prospector who operated a stopping house near Snowshoe Creek, between Keithly Creek and Barkerville. Yank’s Peak in the Cariboo Mountains is named after this native of Maine, USA. He spent 20 years in the area, looking for the elusive mother lode that he and others were convinced was there. Along the way, he reluctantly ran the Live Yank’s Hotel, a -meagre stopping house for travellers going to and coming from the Cariboo goldfields. On May 28, 1881, William Luce died in his cabin. Some say he got caught in a blizzard and froze to death, but the most likely story is that he died of heart failure. His family and friends wanted him to be remembered, so a large headboard was ordered for his grave from Johnny Knott, a carpenter in Barkerville. It was a substantial marker, measuring five feet in length, 14 inches in width, and about three inches thick. The words “Sacred to

the memory of William Luce. Native of Maine USA. Died May 28, 1881, aged 60 years.” were printed on it. When the headboard was completed, mail carrier Fred Littler was contracted to deliver it to the grave site at Little Snowshoe Creek. Fred picked up the headboard, lashed the cumbersome thing onto his pack horse, and headed out. He was supposed to haul it about 20 miles over the Snowshoe Plateau, but he wasn’t feeling very well that day. He had just returned to work after a few days (and nights) of partying in Stanley. Along the way, he found he had to adjust the pack carrying the headboard several times, and as a result, progress was very slow. Finally Fred just lost his temper, pulled the headboard off, and threw it into the bush somewhere near Whiskey Flat, close to

The original headboard on William Luce's grave travelled for years before finding home. Antler Creek. He stayed the night at Antler, and went back the next day to find it but could not locate where he had discarded it, so he returned to Barkerville and said nothing more about it. A few weeks later, the board was found, and over the next few years it was used as a table by successive groups of prospectors who camped out at Whiskey Flat. Unbelievably the

headboard was never destroyed. In 1939, some 57 years after it was made, it was found by Sam Allison, a prospector who came across it while re-cutting the Yank’s Peak trail from Barkerville through to Keithly Creek. Though still readable, the inscription carved in 1881 had faded, but with the help of Mrs. Peterson, a cook at the Cariboo Hudson mine, the headboard was cleaned, the lettering was repainted, and restored to its original clarity. The refurbished headboard was then loaded on to one of Fred Wells’ cat freight outfits and transported to the slopes of Luce Creek. There it was wired up to a tree, overlooking the site of the Live Yank’s original cabin. Ironically, this was not Luce’s final

resting place. He was buried a few miles to the south in the small cemetery at Little Snowshoe Creek, so the headboard had not yet completed its journey. It remained at Luce Creek, all but forgotten, until one day in August of 1963, when Doris Lee stumbled across it while pasturing her herd of sheep in the area. Doris recovered the board and gave the letters another coat of paint. She writes that the wood around the letters had gradually sloughed away over the years, leaving the raised letters clearly visible. The paint had protected the words written on the board, while the rest of the wood had eroded about an eighth of an inch. Once word got out about the headboard, it was retrieved and taken to the museum in Williams Lake for safe keeping. A duplicate was made, and erected at the Little Snowshoe Creek Cemetery, about 80 years after the original had been shipped. When the little Likely Museum was opened at the Cedar Creek provincial park site, the original headboard was put on display there, and it can still be seen there today.

Gene Tetreault and his friends arrive in Montreal, Que. for Expo '67 after paddling 5,600 kilometres in a three-man kayak.

Gene Tetreault reflects on kayak journey Monica Lamb-Yorski Smart 55

When he stops to think about the fact he paddled 5,600 kilometers in a kayak to attend Expo 67, Gene Tetreault shakes his head. “Sometimes I don’t know how we did it,” the 82 year old said of the journey he made with his friends Art Morris and Joe Meany. This summer Tetreault will travel to the Atikokan, Ont. where the kayak they travelled in is on permanent display. He will be celebrating the kayak’s 60th birthday and encourages anyone traveling through the area to stop in and see the dis-

play at the Atikonan Centennial Museum. The 120-pound, 24-foot-long boat was made for the team in Cooksville, Ont. to fit the three of them for a paddle from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta to Montreal, Quebec. “We paddled 40 days and 40 nights, sleeping in the kayak, and completed it in the fastest time ever,” Tetreault said, noting their record has never been broken. Their trip was filled with adventures. Often the three had to portage, with one of the longest distances being 174 miles along the highway. “We had blisters coming out of our

had started competing in canoe races in 1963, eventually winning the Canadian Championship in 1964 that saw them race on a 27-mile course from Jellicoe, Ontario to Beardmore. Tetreault was born in Pinewood, Ont. near Rainy River and grew up loving the water. “As a kid I loved exploring and was intrigued by the stories of the voyageurs,” he said. Meany died a year ago in Atikokan, while Morris lives in Pembrooke, Ontario. Tetreault arrived in Williams Lake with his family in 1979 to work at Gibraltar Mine as a millwright. His wife Myrna worked as a nurse at the hospital, and died five years ago at the age of 74. These days Tetreault still hits the water, but as a swimmer, doing 22 laps. “I’m not a very good swimmer,” he said, chuckling. “It takes me about two hours.”

ears,” Tereault recalled. Another time while he was sleeping he woke up with a goose resting on his chest while they were paddling down the Northern Saskatchewan River. “They’d rescued it from the water because it had a broken neck, but I woke up and thought I’d died,” he said. Money to have the kayak made came from an $18,000 federal government grant earmarked for Canadians finding ways to celebrate Expo 67. Along the entire way, people followed their journey and every 100 miles brought them supplies. When they arrived in Montreal, there were 100,000 people there to greet them. Jean Drapeau, who was mayor at the time, gave them the keys to the city and welcomed them at his office with a shot of cognac. The idea for the trek emerged in his basement over a bottle of whiskey.

I recently came home from a lovely lunch with 11 Old Age Pensioners Organization members. As an incentive to have members attend six or more meetings, at the end of the year OAPO takes the deserving ones out to lunch. Last June at their convention, resolutions were passed and action was taken to the various arms of government. If you’re at all interested, some replies, mainly from Health Minister Terry Lake, are available at the Seniors Centre. Issues are mostly related to policies and how they affect seniors. The whole purpose of the OAPO is to see that

the government does not claw back benefits for seniors. It really is annoying to hear some politicians remarking on what a drain the seniors are to the health system. They seem to forget that the average senior worked from the age of majority to retirement, contributing their labour and taxes to the government. The BC Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, remarked that some low-income seniors are not getting their MSP (Medical Service Plan) subsidy by not filing their income tax. A couple earning under $39,000 per annum and a single person earning under

$22,000 per annum qualify for the MSP subsidy. On Sunday, Feb. 14 the OAPO is having a Valentine Tea at the Seniors Activity Centre from 2 to 4 p.m. If you are over 80 you

eat free, but those under 80 will pay the big sum of $2. I hope to see you all there. On Monday, Feb. 15 the OAPO Seniors Activity Centre is holding their annual general

meeting at 1:30 p.m. If you are at all interested to know what went on and the ongoing operation of your Seniors Centre, please mark your calendar and make a point of attending. There will be an election of officers.

Health ministers across Canada say expanding community and home care is the best way to serve a growing senior population, but total home care hours declined last year in three out of five B.C. health regions. That's one of the findings in the first annual report on seniors' services by B.C. Seniors' Advocate Isobel Mackenzie. Despite growing senior populations across B.C., the report found the total hours of home support delivered to clients was down four per cent in Vancouver Island and Vancouver Coastal health regions, and down 11 per cent in the area served by Northern Health. Fraser Health, the largest region by population from Surrey through the Fraser Valley, had a seven per cent increase in hours in 2014-15, the fiscal year that ended last March. Interior Health, including the Okanagan and Kootenays, saw a five per cent increase. Mackenzie said there has been an increase in seniors served by home care workers in most regions, but the hours received by each has declined. She said the data on hours reflects what she has heard from seniors around the prov-

ince, who report that their home care services are being reduced. "That validates to a large extent what people are saying, which is 'I can't get meal prep, they cut my bathing, they cut out my housekeeping'," Mackenzie said. Health Minister Terry Lake, who emphasized the need to move away from the acute-care hospital model to community and home care at a recent health ministers' conference in Vancouver, said the report is "a snapshot," but acknowledged there is more work to do. Lake said the 11 million hours of home care support provided last year is up 35 per cent since the B.C. Liberals took office in 2001, and the number of clients served is up 29 per cent. "Despite the fact that we've seen a significant increase in hours and budget, the demographics are such that we are falling behind here a little bit," Lake said in an interview. "I think this is a good early warning system to tell us, we need to do a bit more in this area." Lake added that the new federal government has made a commitment to invest more in home health care. He said he is encouraged by Mackenzie's finding that 96 per cent of B.C. seniors have a regular family doctor.

Heat wave doesn’t melt carnival spirits Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Despite a lack of snow, which cancelled the cross country ski events and changed the horse drawn sleigh rides into horsedrawn wagon rides, the second annual 2016 Williams Lake Winter Carnival was a huge hit. “We were super happy with how things went,” says event president Darrick Boyes. “Every event except cross country skiing went ahead and we had a phenomenal turn out from the community. “We had lots of mascots and a lot of people dressed up in goofy costumes of fictional characters just for the fun of it.” While the cross country skiing had to be cancelled he thanks the city for bringing in extra snow so that the sledding hill and snowshoeing could still take place. Between trying out all the children’s games, building snowmen, snowshoeing, sledding, visiting the mini-petting zoo, listening to people sing karaoke, face painting, magic shows with Jesaja Class there were lots of things to keep families and children busy. He says the First Nations events in the tee pee, and Jesaja Class magic shows were very popular and there was a steady stream of people coming up to sing karaoke. Starting out with the Lions Club breakfasts each day, there were lots of food vendors on site providing lunch and snacks including butter chicken, wraps, chili, bannock, hot dogs, and the popular poutine and maple syrup candy. Pioneer Log Homes’ Spirit Carver Dean Ross-Gilpin made and auctioned four sculptures on site that raised $1,435 which is being donated to the Cariboo Friendship Society’s Elder Circle of Care program, Boyes says. There were eight judges this year for the chili cooking contest each one carrying 25 votes. In amateur category there were nine entries with Ron Malmas winning the contest. There were eight entries in the restaurant category which turned out to be a tie finish between Brice O’Neill of New World Coffee and Tea House, and Teresa Sure of 4Sure Bistro each garnering 149 out of a possible 200 points. All activities, except food purchases were provided free for participants at the Winter Carnival that took place Saturday and Sunday, July 30 and 31 in Boitanio Park, plus free skating Saturday in the Cariboo Memorial Complex next door.

CARVING FOR CHARITY

Operation Smile invites helpers Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer

Greg Sabatino photo

Pioneer Log Homes’ Spirit Carver Dean Ross-Gilpin made and auctioned four sculptures at the Winter Carnival in Boitanio Park last weekend, that raised $1,435 for the Cariboo Friendship Society’s Elder Circle of Care program.

A small group of volunteers led by Bel Hume is helping to put smiles on the faces of poor children around the world who are born with cleft palate/lip. Since starting their fundraising campaign in 2010 the Williams Lake group has put smiles on the faces of more than 100 children around the world by raising funds for Operation Smile Canada. Their fundraising style isn’t fancy. They hold hot dog sales, silent auctions, church concerts, and teas. These days the group is stepping up its game by making colourful little hospital gowns for children to wear when they go in for surgery. Hume invites others to join them in making the hospital gowns on Thursday, Feb. 4 and Thursday, Feb. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. each day at the St. John

Lutheran Church on Hodgson Road. Hume can be reached at 250398-8740. “Bring along your portable sewing machine and sewing items,” invites Hume. Those who don’t sew, can still help by cutting out patterns or bringing along an ironing board and iron to press the gowns. She says they are making the gowns out of cotton because they will be going to hot countries, where they will stay with the host hospital. She says members of the Cariboo Piecemakers club inspired by RN Gaye Enns also made 75 “arm-boards” for the hospitals. The arm-boards are little wraps that go around the children’s elbows with a compartment for a tongue depressor. The simple system keeps the children from scratching their faces when they come out of surgery. Enns

learned how to make the arm-boards while volunteering with a health team in Guatemala. Hume also encourages people to donate to Operation Smile Canada which sends teams of volunteer doctors to perform cleft palate/lip surgery free of charge for children in developing countries. “It’s exciting because these children have an opportunity to have better health and a better life,” Hume says. “The smile says it all.” She says each surgery costs $240 and provides a child with the opportunity to have good health, speech and be able to go to school. She encourages the Williams Lake community to celebrate Valentines Day in a special way this year by donating to Operation Smile. Even small donations help the cause, she says. Tax receipts are available for any donations of $20 or more. Operation Smile,

founded in 1982 by Dr. Bill and Kathy Magee, estimates that a child is born every three minutes with a cleft lip/palate condition and one in 10 of those children will die before their first birthday. A 45-minute surgery will save or improve their lives, allow them to eat, socialize, and smile. Today with the help of more than 5,000 medical volunteers, Operation Smile is able to provide surgery and aftercare for children in more than 60 countries. “Our mission is to make sure that someday, every child who needs it has access to the surgery that can change their life forever,” the Magees say.

New Welcome Wagon mail program well received Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Welcome Wagon’s new mail-out package is settling in well with lakecity residents. Last year Welcome Wagon representatives made personal visits to welcome 251 families and 49 babies to Williams Lake and area, says OJ Taylor, Welcome Wagon area manager for the B.C. Southern and Northern Interior. Since the new mailout program was introduced on Dec. 15, 2015, she says welcome packages have been mailed to more than 17 newcomers and five families with new babies in the Williams Lake area. She notes the welcome numbers are lower this time of year because people usually don’t like to move during winter. Welcome Wagon is moving to the mailout format because the organization was finding that many busy newcomers didn’t have time for the 20 to 45-minute personal visits from a representative welcoming them to a community. Parents often both work and their children are involved in various sports and activities that keep them busy, Taylor says. She says welcome visits are still provided in Quesnel and Vernon but face-to-face visits in those communities are also on the decline. 100 Mile House is

Computer tutoring free at the library Claire Schreiner Special to Tribune/Advisor Recent statistics state that 87 per cent of Canadian households are connected to the Internet. Social media access (email, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest) is the top activity performed on laptops, tablets and smartphones.

Cariboo Potters Guild Empty Bowls luncheon coming up The Cariboo Potters Guild members have been working hard for the past few months to make a variety of ceramic bowls for their Empty Bowls fundraiser for the food bank. The potters host an Empty Bowls luncheon fundraiser every second year as a reminder about world hunger and to help those less fortu-

nate here in Williams Lake who need to supplement their incomes with visits to the Salvation Army food bank. “This year we have a variety of restaurants and caterers donating soup for the event, always a delicious treat,” organizer Jude Prevost says. “The pottery bowl is yours to keep as a reminder of world

hunger. We hope that each time you take your bowl from the cupboard you are reminded that someone’s bowl is empty.” Empty Bowls is coming up Friday, Feb. 12 at the legion hall from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Cariboo Potters Guild members and various friends and supporters of the guild

are also hosting a silent art auction in conjunction with Empty Bowls, Prevost says. The luncheon, which is co-sponsored by the Arts Council of Williams Lake costs $15 with all proceeds going to the food bank. Prevost notes the potters are only able to accept cheques or cash for this fundraiser.
