RCMP study SMART approach Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer RCMP Insp. Milo MacDonald and community safety co-ordinator Dave Dickson are presently assessing a program in Surrey they think might work for Williams Lake that helps people dealing with complex social issues. The two were scheduled to visit Surrey on Tuesday, March 15, to observe the Surrey Mobilization and Resiliency Table or SMART program in action in that troubled

community. “They’ve got some great ideas,” MacDonald said. “They take cases that the police would often respond to that they are not necessarily equipped to handle longterm.” Calls for crisis in mental health are a prime example of where the program might be effective. “The idea is the police would attend a call and they would find someone in crisis,” MacDonald said. “They would then convene a meeting of service providers who

are in a position to shed some value on that particular situation.” For example, the police might call in a homelessness advocate, a mental health worker, nurse, physician, psychiatrist or social worker to work with the person in crisis. “There are quite a few cases we see come across our desks on a moderately regular basis that would benefit from a referral to mental health with the support of an advocate to get them into housing,” MacDonald said.

Water main break leaves residents dry Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer A water main break in the Terra Ridge and Westridge areas left residents without water for most of Saturday after a “fair sized” rock punched a hole in the side of a water pipe. “A call came in at about 5 a.m. and by the time we got the water shut off it was 6 a.m.,” said Joe Engelberts, the city’s water and sewer manager. “We replaced the pipe and had the water running again by about 5 p.m. Saturday.” Because of the hole in the water pipe, the Woodland Drive reservoir was drained by 90 per cent. “It’s the nature of the beast when you have a water main failure it does drain the reservoir,” Engelberts said. He noted the low level alarm for the reservoir goes off once the water is depleted to 50 per cent. “The reservoir is

already half empty by the time the alarm goes off. It went off at 5 a.m.” Once the pipe was repaired, the pump, which was located on the other side of the break from the reservoir, was turned back on and the reservoir was filled with water again. There is always concern of damage further downstream when water is leaking from a water main break, however, this time the city was lucky, Engelberts said. “Most of the water went into drainage and ditches down along Highway 20 and the ground wasn’t frozen so digging was really easy.” Coincidentally, a FortisBC technician detected a gas leak while working near Hodgson Road and Terra Ridge Saturday morning as well. Crews were called in from Prince George to repair the gas line, said Nicole Bogdanovic, a communications advisor with Fortis BC.

City of Wililams Lake utility three operator Nelson Landrey fills up the hole where crews repaired a water main break Saturday along Hodgson Road that left residents without water for most of the day. The break occurred when a rock punched a hole in the side of a water pipe. On Monday Nelson Landrey, a utility three operator with the city, was at the water main break site along Hodgson Road filling in the

hole. He pointed to an area about 60 feet away towards town where there was a water main break around the same

time last year. It was speculated last year’s water main break there was due to a landslide, Engelberts said.

As for Saturday’s water main break, Engelberts said he couldn’t say yes or no if land slippage was the cause of the rock

punching a hole in the water pipe. The contact number for reporting water problems is 250-3925255.

Good Samaritan thwarts domestic assault Angie Mindus Staff Writer Williams Lake RCMP are crediting the quick actions of a Good Samaritan with saving a young woman from a vicious domestic assault downtown early Friday morning. Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the incident took place at about 5:30 a.m. when Matt Neufeld, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Williams Lake, happened to be driving

down Oliver Street toward the Station House Gallery and witnessed the attack and intervened in the dispute by honking his horn, yelling and remaining on scene. “We are very appreciative of his initiative to get involved in this violent assault,” said Byron. “The victim was very vulnerable.” Neufeld said he saw the woman, believed to be in her 20s, run onto the street from a back alley with a man chasing her and trying to grab her and

her purse. Neufeld yelled and honked his horn to try to distract the man during the initial assault, but had to pull ahead and do a u-turn to face the two when both tried to get into his vehicle. At that point, Neufeld said, the man grabbed the woman, threw her to the ground and started punching her several times in the face. Neufeld continued to honk his horn in front of the attack, screaming and yelling

out his window that the police were coming, until the man finally stopped and left the scene. He said the woman got into his vehicle and he transported her to hospital with multiple face injuries and choke marks around her neck. “It’s pretty sad. I felt bad for her,” Neufeld said. “She was very thankful and hugged me when I left the hospital.” Neufeld said at least two vehicles

drove around the scene while he was trying to help the woman, not stopping to help. Byron said the police did receive more than one call reporting the incident, however, he wishes more people would be willing to get involved like Neufeld did. “It’s disappointing when something like this happens and people just drive by,” Byron said. “Of course, we wouldn’t recommend someone get out of

their vehicle but having more people stay on scene until police arrive like Mr. Neufeld did would be helpful.” Neufeld, who is trained in these types of scenarios for his work, was glad to help and believes others don’t stop because they either don’t know what to do, are afraid or both. He would like to see the city host some public workshops on how residents can safely intervene in a crisis.

“If other people would have stopped (during Friday’s attack), then maybe we could have helped her before she got hurt,” he said. “More and more things are happening and I think people just don’t know what to do.” Byron said the suspect involved in the attack was believed to be the woman’s boyfriend, who the police are looking for. The two were visiting the lakecity from Prince Rupert.

In January there were 27 vehicles stolen and in February two vehicles stolen, RCMP Insp. Milo MacDonald told city council during its regular meeting March 8. Things improved in February because four people were put in jail who were responsible for the vast majority of the thefts, he said. Of the 12 prolific offenders the RCMP identify, six are presently in custody, and a 13th prolific offender moved out of the community after being added to the list. Through the prolific offender program, RCMP members are assigned to each individual prolific offender and responsible for providing updates on them. “There are a couple of people on the list for whom we’re obviously willing to conduct enforcement, but we’re also willing to seek opportunities for them, such as connect them with employment to try and socially engineer them toward retiring

with mental health issues, substance abuse, homelessness and possibly fetal alcohol spectrum disorder,” he said. Some of the people on the list, he said, are just “violent drug dealers,” and some have been responsible for random violence. Most of the prolific offenders are residents of Williams Lake, and some of them were local residents when MacDonald was stationed here between 1996 and 2000. MacDonald did say there are a few offenders who have not been identified by the prolific offender program that have been responsible for some of the city’s more recent crimes. “We are in the process of trying to identify those people,” MacDonald said, noting the two vehicle thieves arrested on Monday, March 7, were not on the list. As a result, the RCMP are going to re-examine who those people are, and what their involvement might have been in the high profile events that have been happening in the community. Mayor Walt Cobb asked how many times an offender has to be caught and charged before they are added to the prolific offender list. Responding, MacDonald said in Williams Lake the RCMP identify the people they believe are most likely to be committing a serious or violent offence. “I think in other communities they identify the people who have been responsible for the highest volume of offences, but we didn’t think those were the best people to focus on. We thought we’d focus on the people at risk of potentially committing homicide.” MacDonald said there are still people in the community who now, because the prolific offender list has been significantly depleted because of the arrests of its occupants, may be added to the list. The prolific offender list is used to guide the RCMP’s enforcement efforts, MacDonald added.

Herb Nakada (centre) works out in the gym at the Cariboo Memorial Complex which has been moved to the lobby in front of the Sam Ketcham Memorial Pool for the duration of the pool upgrades. Some of the larger weight lifting equipment has been removed but smaller weights and riding equipment remains available as does the main pool.

Gym moves for pool upgrades Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Construction fencing is up around the Cariboo Memorial Complex as the pool upgrade project gets underway. “The pool is open and the workout gym has been moved to the pool viewing area,” said city councillor Laurie Walters during the regular council meeting Tuesday. During the construction phase there will be a 20 per cent

reduction in entrance fees for the pool and fitness centre. “That’s because the circumstances there are ongoing,” Walters said. She explained that the sauna, hot pool and wading pool have now been closed. A dividing wall, going up for the construction, is now in place. “Final drawings for the parking lot and intersection have been received and should be tendered

soon,” Walters said. Removal of items from the old ball park area has begun and anything salvageable, such as the backstop, is being reutilized or offered out to community groups. “It’s starting, it’s real and starting to happen and every council meeting I will be providing updates,” Walters said. As reported earlier, the roundabout idea at Proctor Street and the parking lot exit has been scrapped

because of the higher than anticipated cost. “We couldn’t justify the expense but there will be a four-

way stop there that will greatly improve the situation that is there now,” Walters said.

Milo MacDonald told city council during its regular meeting Tuesday, March 8. “That’s about four a day,” MacDonald said. Of that total, 264 were not approved, 305 were stayed, 247 resulted in convic-

tions and 383 were pending. There are a number of reports to Crown Counsel the RCMP forward, knowing in advance the charges won’t be approved, MacDonald said. “We have a policy obligation to ensure that investigations are filed with Crown Counsel. I don’t want those statistics to be interpreted as a criticism of Crown Counsel. We actually get

great support from Crown Counsel.” A lot of investigations are driven by the evidence that’s collected, and if there isn’t enough evidence there won’t be a conviction, he added. “Out of this number I find we do not have many arguments about files that we think should go forward. We’re on the same page as far as determining what’s a viable prosecution.”

HAPPY 87TH

t. Patrick’s Day tomorrow. My mother was born in County Cork, Ireland and was pushy about her heritage. She always outdid herself on March 17, especially with the food. She’d use every “green” veggie available and she’d colour everything else with green food dye or chopped parsley. Mostly it was OK but green milk was never a hit. Her dad was English, so was mine, so the Irish is somewhat diluted when it comes to me. However, everyone is Irish on St. Paddy’s Day, so have a happy one. *** GGS#3 visited the other day. He is 17 months old. He doesn’t say much but he certainly communicates. We had a nice visit, but when he’d had enough he gathered up his coat French and boots and Connection took them to his Diana French mother. His intention was very clear. *** There are so many awful things happening everywhere these days, from local crimes to global wars, it is heartening to see something positive. Like him or not, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and family did us proud in Washington. It was a nice touch that Justin’s mom was included. She’d been there before as a PM’s wife. *** Now for some not-so-good stuff. It will warm your heart as you do your income tax to know that the Canadian Revenue Agency has not only offered amnesty to wealthy clients of the accounting firm KPMG, who hid their money offshore for years to avoid paying taxes. The agency offered them a discount on their owed interest. Bending rules for cheaters is bad enough, but the government could use the lost money. More than three years after a panel of engineering experts warned BC Hydro to fix a serious deficiency at the W.A.C. Bennett dam “without delay,” the Crown corporation has applied to begin the work which might be done by 2019. According to the Globe and Mail, the rip rap is damaged, and wave action, floods or a minor earthquake could endanger the integrity of the crest. According to an other report, BC Hydro is $76 billion in debt. That’s all comforting, isn’t it. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune.

Our Viewpoint

To connect or not Mike de Jong is a Renaissance man. In an odd, back-to-the-future kind of way. The provincial finance minister does not have a smart phone. He does not correspond by e-mail. Because it’s government, he has people for all that. If there’s a call he has to take, some well-paid aide will foist a phone in front of him. If there’s an e-mail that needs his attention, another member of the taxpayer-funded army will provide him with a printed version. We envy de Jong. Our job is to gather information from various sources and publish it for a wider audience. We could not do that without e-mail and smart phones. We recall a time in newspapers before email and widespread connectivity in general. Truth be told, newspapers thrived in that time. We had typesetters and proofers and politically-incorrect-sounding jobs like copy boy. Many jobs went by the wayside with the advent of technology in newspaper offices, much like they did in other industries. And the ability to gather more information more quickly has not been a boon for newspapers. (One thing technology has done to improve newspapers: no more chemical waste dumps

that were masquerading as darkrooms for developing film and making prints.) Society as a whole, it must be said, survived just fine without e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. You could argue these technologies have downgraded our society — so many people post so many rude things they never would say to someone in person. The negative and nasty is now out there for all to see. This is progress? Same can be said for government. Does anyone believe governments have operated more efficiently because of all this connectivity? Certainly education — the pursuit and sharing of knowledge — has been enhanced by the digital age, although it has also been clogged by Internet junk science. Health care too — a knee surgeon in Victoria, for example, can look at your x-ray minutes after it was taken in Parksville. Still, we envy de Jong and salute his stance. For so many years, having the latest technology, the latest phone, was cool. The new cool, as evidenced by de Jong, is having no phone at all. Mind you, not all of us have ‘people’ for that. - Black Press

Our provincial government wants entrepreneurs to be able to focus on what matters — creating jobs and spurring innovation. That’s why we’ve established initiatives like the Small Business Accord and the Small Business Roundtable and BizPaL. We continue to work to streamline and simplify government processes to reduce red tape. British Columbians gave us their ideas to reduce red tape. Now, we are releasing our plan to take more than 60 actions to reduce red tape and improve service delivery. Over the next year, people will see improvements to several government services — small changes that make doing business and accessing programs and information easier. In addition, in my role as Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction, I led a cross-government effort to repeal 37 outdated or unnecessary regulations to make it easier for people to comply with provincial requirements. Supporting small business starts with all of us here in Williams Lake. Whether we’re grocery shopping, looking for some tools or supplies, or want to catch up with a friend over a cup of coffee, by choosing to buy local, we can all support and sustain our local economy.

Thanks from Alaska Editor: Hi good folks in Williams Lake. While travelling through your beautiful province last fall, the alternator on my pickup failed. It was your Thanksgiving holiday, and without tools and an alternator it was apparent my son, daughter and myself would miss our ferry boat out of Prince Rupert to our home Ketchikan. I hadn’t really budgeted for an extra week until the next ferry so it would have been a bit tight fiscally. I saw a car dealership and pulled in, hoping for a repair (it looked empty — I didn’t

know yet it was the holiday). After trying the locked door, I noticed a man pull into the lot in his pickup so I walked over and inquired about a repair shop. He told me everybody was closed for holiday and asked what the problem was with my rig. After telling him I thought the alternator was out he suggested I follow him to Canadian Tire, that they might have an alternator there. He then told me he was a mechanic and if they had the alternator he could change it out for me (whew, what a relief!) Well, service was excellent at Canadian Tire plus and they

had an alternator, and this man, Jim Bursinger, taking time away from his family on Thanksgiving out of the generosity of his heart, changed the alternator in our pickup. He absolutely would not accept any payment. Mr. Bursinger, this thank you note is long overdue, but I just found your name again. Thanks from your neighbour to the north! God bless all you folks down there and especially Jim and his family! (and the folks at IRL International Truck Centres-you know this already, but you’ve got a good man there).

Question of the week

As a concerned citizen, mother and a physician, I welcomed Mr. Blezard’s letter to the editor (Tribune, March 2, 2016) regarding the projected railway tie burning at Atlantic Power. Finally some scientific facts! I was just as concerned to see, in the same edition, the report on the meeting that occurred to discuss the above proposal. Deductions made by the general public that oily residue on their vehicles must be from the power plant and so forth. To give you a bit of background, I come from a family entrenched in environmental affairs. My father was environmental manager of one of the largest mining companies in the world. From a young age I sat in with him in meetings at the Chamber of Mines in Johannesburg. I consider myself a “greenie” and was invited to speak on environmental sustainability on an environmental actuality program when younger. First and foremost, however, I consider myself a scientist. Just as I cannot endorse the notion that the measles vaccine causes autism, I cannot burn Atlantic Power on the stake because of my perceptions, or be-

cause of public hysteria. I have read the facts, including the RWDI report and the Intrinsik report. I refer to the aforementioned report (done by an independent company) for the following: “The chemical emissions from the WLPP burning 100 per cent railway ties are associated with a negligible level of risk, as defined by the BC MOE and Health Canada.” Incidentally, APC does not propose to burn 100 per cent railway ties and have applied to burn maximum 50 per cent ties in their permit application. The biggest determinant of health in a population is poverty. Besides the fact that we can now clearly see that scientific studies have proven that burning railway ties will not cause us or our children harm in Williams Lake, I wonder what will happen if 33 people have to lose their job because of the WLPP closure? What about Tasco, Acklands, Woodtec construction, Irwin safety, Finning, Cariboo Steel, etc. that will be directly affected by such a closure? I would also like to see the roadside logging debris burned, but financially no one can afford it. No cash-strapped mill can afford an increase in their truck-

ing budget to bring RLD into town. If the mills close down, very little remains of my beloved town. Yes, my husband works at the power plant, but he is also a scientist. With a master’s degree in sustainable energy management, he is, however, not blind-sided by a need for employment. I hate the smell of the woodpile at WLPP, but the smell of wood breakdown is not toxic. There are other factors that will cause an oily residue on your vehicles or create a smell around the industrial area where the WLPP resides. I’ve read about the beehive burners and am so thankful that WLPP has replaced them. Before we came to Canada and Williams Lake, I made sure, for one, to look at any potential hazards or concerns in the area we would choose to settle in. Moving to the other side of the world is no laughing matter and I wanted to make sure. We looked at crime statistics, natural environment as well as the industrial area in detail. We chose Williams Lake, and we will continue to do so. Dr. Jolien Steyl MBChB, DCH (SA), CFPC Williams Lake

Leap Year proposal goes viral Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer

Williams Lake LISTEN TO YOUR BODY AT ALL TIMES. Our bodies are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. They tell us when we are not sufficiently rested, or when we are dehydrated or hungry, or if we are getting sick. Listen to the message and take proactive steps to avoid lengthy injuries or burnout.

Kieran Gregg of Williams Lake never expected her Leap Year Day marriage proposal would go viral after photos of it were posted on Reddit. Gregg is of Irish descent and went with the tradition where legend says St. Patrick decreed women could propose on Feb. 29. “I’m a first generation Canadian,” the 22 year old said. “My dad was born in Belfast.” On the day of the proposal, Gregg presented her 24-year-old her boyfriend, Daniel Cupples, with a series of cards and clues to send him on a little scavenger hunt featuring meaningful places in their past. His journey ended an hour later in the wooded area near Lake City Secondary School’s Columneetza campus where the couple had first met when they were students in 2010. Even a big rock at the site held special memories for both of them. “It was where our good friend Kyle Vigeant who died a few years ago in a car ac-

Gregg had arranged for professional photographer Laureen Carruthers to document the proposal. Adding to the ambiance, Carruther’s boyfriend and professional guitarist Joel Gyselinck was there to play the couple’s special song, Stolen Dance by Milky Chance.

Carruthers said every year she thinks of a theme and offers a free photo session for someone who might not be able to otherwise afford it. She realized she had never photographed a surprise engagement so she decided that’s what she’d go with. Carruthers posted the offer on her website that if anyone was proposing in the month of February to give her a call.

“It was awesome and fabulous,” Carruthers said. “She was nervous before he came because he was arriving late. The whole thing was really, really fun.” The photo shoot worked in her favour as well, Carruthers added. “Whoever knew that a pro bono session would bring so much notice.” Cupples said he ended up photographing

all of the clues. When Gregg saw his photos she suggested they would be suitable for Reddit. Agreeing, Cupples made himself an account and posted photos and a storyline, “just to share the news with their friends and family,” he said. “It caught a lot traction in the first three hours and by two or three days it had 150,000 views,” Cupples said. “From there I was contacted by different news sites that do stories on things that go viral on Reddit.” He was also contacted by radio stations in the U.S., Prince George, Vancouver and Williams Lake for interviews. “But there were very few people who actually contacted us by phone and yet we were featured in things like Cosmopolitan,” Gregg said. The two said they chuckled when they read some of the stories. “Oh you wouldn’t imagine what this woman did,’” Cupples said was one of the headlines. “All our friends were contacting us to say we were famous.” See HIGH SCHOOL Page A9

Council briefs: City budget talks continue In the next few weeks the city’s finance committee hopes to finalize the 2015 year-end budget, said finance committee chair Coun. Scott Nelson during the regular council meeting last Tuesday. “We’re working with the auditors to get this done as quickly as possible,” Nelson said. Council and staff are looking at outsourcing the IT position, which

was one of eight positions eliminated by council in 2015. “The outsourcing process through request for proposals is near completion and we hope to bring a recommendation back to council in a few weeks time or less,” Coun. Scott Nelson said.

Generator to be installed

Mueller Electric Ltd. has been awarded

the contract to supply and install a standby generator at the the city’s Westside Booster Station. The contract is tendered for $101,583, excluding GST. Budget committee chair Coun. Scott Nelson said it’s an item in the capital budget that was budgeted for $250,000. “When the power goes out we will still have water being

pumped out to the system,” Nelson said.

Paving project

TRUE Consulting Group has been awarded management of technical services for the city’s Paving 2016 Project. The total amount of the contract is $40,740, excluding GST.

Repairs set

City council has approved Franklin Industries Inc. for a con-

tract in the amount not to exceed $135,000 to do exterior and handrail repairs at the Tourism Discovery Centre. Coun. Laurie Walters said it will be a bigger expenditure this year because the city has waited a long time to do the repairs. Going forward council will set aside money and the upkeep will be done more frequently.

The contract is a “sole sourcing” award which is where staff approaches one company and asks for a bid to undertake the work. “It’s considered a suitable mechanism for technical or specialized services where there’s only one company in the region that can undertake the work,” said Leah Hartley, director of development services.

Reprieve

The deadline for demolishing all three buildings at the Slumber Lodge has been extended until Oct. 14, 2016, by city council. The bylaw office confirmed the owner has hired a local electrical company to restore power to all the buildings, and that all fire and smoke alarms be installed, things that are required by the demolition order.

HERE IS A COMMON QUESTION I AM OFTEN ASKED: Why does my neighbours lawn look so much better than mine? There are several reasons that this can occur. If it is a WEED FREE LAWN then I always take credit first. Just kidding. The most common reasons for a shabby lawn: 1. Water; water early am this is when grass most readily absorbs moisture 2. Aerate or thatch; if the water or nutrients can not reach the roots of the grass signs of stress will appear in the lawn 3. Mow properly; cut grass at highest setting on your lawn mower. Longer grass help prevent drought condition and weed germination. Some owners prefer short grass; although more aesthetically pleasing it is more work. 4. Sharpen your lawnmower blade regularly. Torn grass blades take longer to recover than cleanly cut grass blades. For other tips and advice visit our web page www.weedfreelawns.ca or visit us on Facebook and follow our links.

Safety Meeting runs two night triple feature Brandon Hoffman Special to Tribune/Advisor The next Safety Meeting is a two-night triple feature, with Colin Easthope, Sam Tudor, and Wallgrin, going down March 18 and 19. I’m excited that we get to have sort of a homecoming show for Sam and Colin, while still offering something a little different than you’ve seen from either of them in the past. Colin has a bunch of new songs since his last release Timothy Lake. Folks who came out to the Horsefly Salmon Fest last fall may have gotten a tiny glimpse into the direc-

tion Colin has been going lately. For this year’s Safety Meeting, Colin has assembled a band to take his nostalgiasoaked folk tunes in a slightly more postrock direction. Backing him up is brother Kevin Easthope on drums, Brent

Morton on effectsdrenched bass, and yours truly, Brandon Hoffman on equallyeffects-drenched mandolin and guitar. The idea is to let Colin’s poetry drift along on an evolving cloud of sounds and textures. Colin’s songwriting has just been getting better since he broke into the scene with his crowd-pleasing hit Honey (Don’t Walk On By), and he’s had a lot of fun experimenting with new arrangements to give his set an entirely different flavour. Sam Tudor has also been working on new material. Even though I’m still personally quite content to lis-

Sam’s backup band is the Shimmering Biscuits — a ragtag group of misfits and dreamers that Sam teamed up with in Vancouver. Opening the night is Wallgrin, the solo loop-oriented project of Tegan Wahlgren. Tegan writes dreamy little pop gems, and performs them with just her voice, a violin, and a loop pedal. She also lends her violin skills to Sam’s band as one of the Shimmering Biscuits. This is a dry show, in sit-down-and-listen fashion. Snacks will be provided by the

Grace Simpson models lifelong learning Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer Grace Simpson, Thompson Rivers University’s retiring Williams Lake campus co-ordinator is a great example of how lifelong learning can help people to achieve their goals and dreams. Growing up in Maple Ridge, Grace graduated early at age 16 then attended Simon Fraser University to become a teacher. But after the first year, she decided to work for a while before returning to university, a return that would come in an unexpected way. She took a computer course at the McKay business school then went to work for IBM in Vancouver for five years. There she met her husband, Jack. The couple married in 1976 and moved to Prince George where Jack took a job with Motorola selling communication equipment and Grace worked for the Prince George school board. “It was 40 below that winter with lots of snow,” Grace recalls. “It was a smaller community then and a lot of fun.” After three years in Prince George the couple moved to Williams Lake where Jack took a job with Radio Shack. Their son, Jamie, was born soon after their arrival and three years later their daughter, Heather, was born. A year after Jamie was born, Grace started work as secretary/receptionist at the then Cariboo College located in the AVCO building on Second Avenue. In 1986, Cariboo College moved to a new home in the refurbished former waterbed factory on Hodgson Road. In 1997, the Hodgson Road campus (now Pioneer Complex) was vacated after land slippage rendered the building unsafe. For the next 10 years Cariboo College/University College of the Cariboo programs were run out

Over the 36 years she has worked for the college/university Grace has taken many courses and workshops to upgrade her skills to take on added responsibilities. of multiple buildings in the downtown core, a time during which Grace says the college lost a lot of its campus feel. But as fate would have it student enrolment in Williams Lake was dropping and School District 27 ended up selling the former Anne Stevenson Junior Secondary School to the college. The new campus opened in December 2006 in the refurbished ASJS building on Western Avenue, which for the past 10 years has served the community as Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake. Through all the changes Jack and Grace were both working parents.

While Jack worked at a variety of jobs: River Industries, City of Williams Lake bylaw enforcement officer, Search and Rescue, and helped to start a local fishing shop, Grace continued to take on more responsibilities with the college as it grew into a university. “It was a challenge at times but you make it work,” Grace says. “The kids were involved in sports and we had reliable daycare. They were good students and easy to raise.” As her responsibilities grew Grace took courses and workshops to build the necessary skills to work her way up from receptionist/secretary to campus secretary, to office co-ordinator and for

the past 10 years, Williams Lake campus co-ordinator. Several times over the years she has also been called upon to fill in as acting director. She has been an integral part of three campus moves, three institutional changes, and worked for seven different college/university directors. “The job description just expanded from that first small office,” Grace says. She recalls administration getting its first computer in 1980 which made the accounting and registration processes a lot easier. See CONNECTIONS Page A13

Her dedication to the university and to her work has steered the campus through many transitions and changes throughout the years. “I have been honoured to work alongside her these past six years. We will miss her and wish

both Grace and Jack the best as they transition into this exciting time in their lives. “Stacy Wong will be moving into Grace’s position at the end of March and TRU is excited for the future of the campus.” Alan Shaver, TRU president and vice-chancellor adds: “Grace is my go-to person in Williams Lake, as she has been for a long list of my predecessors. “She is the keeper of the institutional knowledge and processes and the kind and caring face

of TRU Williams Lake. She will be missed. On behalf of TRU students, faculty and staff, I wish her all the best for the future.” Christopher Seguin, vice-president advancement adds: “Grace has been a pillar of consistency, competency and quiet passion for TRU in Williams Lake. “She always comes through for our institution and the community that it serves. Every initiative, every project that we have launched at WL has had Grace’s fingerprints on it from idea, to execution.”

During her 36 years working with the lakecity college as it evolved into the Thompson Rivers University of today, Grace Simpson attended many community events held at the university including the Maitreya Loving Kindness world tour of Buddhist ancient and sacred relics that visited the university last summer. During the opening of the exhibition Grace was one of many people who received a blessing from Ven. Tenzin Chogky a teacher at the lakecity’s Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre.

Son Jamie is manager of the Safeway in Nelson and lives in Castlegar with his partner Ashley who is expecting their first child this month, a baby girl. Heather and her husband, Benn Neufeld, live in Vancouver where Heather is manager of the Room for Two maternity store on Commercial Drive and Benn works in customer service with an IT company. Grace says they will return to the Cariboo periodically to visit friends and to indulge Jack’s passion for fishing, because this area has some of the best fishing in the province. She also plans to pick up some more fishing skills of her own. “It’s kind of exciting times. Lots of change but all good,” Grace says.

For her efforts Grace earned the Cariboo College Excellence in Service Award in 1989/90 and the TRU Distinguished Service Award in 2006/07. “I was very honoured that people would even nominate me,” Grace says. For the past year or so, Grace has been training her assistant, campus co-ordinator Stacy Wong as her replacement. While Grace came up the ranks learning as she went, the job description for her replacement is now much more formalized. It includes a requirement for a business administration degree, several years of experience, and a long list of duties established by the university. The job basically includes running the dayto-day operations of the university, making sure bills are paid, facilities are maintained and kept clean, payroll is met, budgets are set, websites are up to date, promotional material is available, courses are scheduled, events are booked, and supervising the now large university support staff. “Whatever needs to be done,” Grace says. “I like to work behind the scenes — as one director put it — “making sure the trains are running and on time.”

Their current focus is offering scholarships/ bursaries to prospective students. She will most miss all the people she works with and all the people she has had the good fortune to get to know in Williams Lake. “I will miss it,” Grace says. “I like structure. I will miss the people. I really do love my job. It is challenging and rewarding.” She and Jack have bought a travel trailer and will be selling their home in Williams Lake to spend some time travelling around visiting family and friends and making a trip across Canada at some point.

COMMUNITY Museum initiates intergenerational book project Gaeil Farrar Staff Writer

Children and youth interviewing seniors then having their interviews recorded in a book. What a great idea for passing on information about our city from one generation to another. The Museum of the Cariboo Chilcotin and

Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Association are teaming up on a project to make that happen. The two groups are calling for children and youth ages five to 19 to interview an elder for a chance to have their story included in a beautifully bound book that will have the working title Historic Downtown

“This intergenerational involvement and exchange was a perfect fit with the museum’s 25th anniversary heritage event on Aug. 7,” McDonough said. “Later it came to our attention that the Downtown Business Improvement Association wanted to focus on families and the fit was perfect for the project.”

Williams Lake. Museum president Mike McDonough says the museum’s new curator William Adams did some projects previously at Grand Forks involving children interviewing veterans and presented the idea of the story project in a brainstorming session with the museum board last fall.

Guidelines for submissions are as follows: •Interviews must focus on memories of downtown Williams Lake before 1970. If kids don’t know an elder with memories about Williams Lake, the museum has access to lots of elders who would love to be interviewed by kids. •Interviews can be

Scholarships open to all lakecity TRU students Since the TRU Grit Awards program began five years ago more than $90,000 in scholarships has been raised for Thompson Rivers University students studying at the Williams Lake Campus. Brian Garland and a small group of business people and concerned citizens started the TRU Grit Awards program to encourage students to take their post-secondary training at TRU Williams Lake. TRU Grit has since set up an endowment fund to ensure the lasting success of their vision. A total of $21,500 was shared by 11 students receiving scholarships for the 2015/16 academic year, says TRU marketing co-ordinator Myrissa Krenzler. Recently another six $2,000 awards were provided to stu-

dents enrolled in the new Applied Sustainable Ranching Program that started in January. The TRU Grit Awards are open to all students, whether they are mature students returning to school after taking some time away from their education, or graduating Grade 12 students. Scholarships are available for anyone enrolling in any postsecondary program at the Williams Lake Campus. The deadline for the TRU Grit 2016/17 award applications is coming up on April 15. There are six $2,000 awards available for the 2016/17 academic year. Applications can be found online at http:// www.tru.ca/williamslake/studentservices/ financialaid.html or by emailing mkrenzler@tru.ca.

CABARET STEPPING UP TO DINNER THEATRE AT THE ELK’S HALL Gaeil Farrar photo

Many of the nights for the regular run of the Studio Theatre’s production of Cabaret sold out early but there may still be a few tickets left for the shows this week, and the dinner theatre production on Friday, March 25. Pictured dancing in the chorus line are Matthew Granlund (left) Jennifer McPhee, Carolina Rieffolo, Rowena Resuello, Haley Tazelaar, Tanis Daum, Maria Gutierrez-Jackson, William Wallace, Mary-Jo Hilyer, and Brad McGuire. Tickets are available at About Face Photography, Kit and Kaboodle, and The Open Book.

Cariboo Fire Centre cautions on burning Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Given the current dry conditions, the Cariboo Fire Centre is encouraging the public to exercise caution with any outdoor burning activities over the weekend and into the coming weeks. “While FireSmart activities are encouraged this time of year to reduce the risk of wildfires on private property, there is a safe way to conduct backyard burning,” the CFC said in a press release. “Anyone wishing to light an open fire must watch for changing weather conditions and follow all burning regulations in order to

reduce the number of preventable wildfires.” Even the spring season can present significant fire risks. The grass and small shrub layer is drying out quickly at lower elevations and in valley bottoms, due to increased temperatures, lack of precipitation and wind. Fires in these situations can spread very rapidly, especially when driven by wind. In light of the conditions this spring, the public is also advised that restrictions on backyard burning and industrial burning may come into effect earlier than usual in the region this year. However, within the city limits backyard

burning is prohibited, said Williams Lake Fire Department Chief Des Webster. “Because of the weather people caught in contravention of the bylaw will be fined,” Webster said, noting the only burning allowed is through the use of commercially made fire pits. Residents can expect to see some prescribed burns conducted by the fire department possibly during the last two weeks of March and into April. Once those days and areas of the city are set, the fire department will alert the public, Webster said. With files from the Cariboo Fire Centre.

Thank You Robin, Hannah, and Chloe, alongside the Kaufman and Storoschuk families, would like to express our extreme gratitude for the loving support we’ve all received since Laura’s sudden passing February 14th 2016. Our Cariboo Community has taken care of us and accommodated our every need during this time of devastating loss. It is said that grief can be lessened and healing can begin with the sharing of talk, touch, tears, and time. All of you, our friends and neighbours, have given us these things in abundance and it is so greatly appreciated.

Talk: We thank you for all the messages, memories, and pictures shared with us. We are thankful for the beautiful tributes and eulogy. Touch: We thank you for all the hugs and gestures of strength. Grief shared is grief abated.

Time: Greatest of all. The generous involvement of so many people from the first day to the organizing and participation in the Celebration of Laura’s life was amazing. This gift from every corner of our community has allowed us the time we needed to grieve and recover from the shock. The profound outpouring of compassion, volunteer help, and contributions from our Cariboo Community to our families is genuinely appreciated.

Hoops tourney off to blazing start Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Lake City Secondary School Williams Lake Campus gym was jam packed to the rafters Sunday for the opening ceremony of the 2016 Junior All Native Basketball Tournament. Teams entered to massive applause, followed by traditional songs and speeches from dignitaries including Tribal Chair of the Tsilhqot’in National Government Joe Alphonse, Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb, elder Virginia Gilbert and Williams Lake Indian Band councillor Willie Sellars. Thirty-seven teams (20 girls teams and 17 boys teams) featuring players ages 13 to 17 are competing at the provincial event with games taking place at Lake City Secondary Williams Lake Campus, LCSS Columneetza Campus and the Thompson Rivers University gymnasium. Organizer Roger Harris said teams travelled from Bella Coola, Northern B.C., Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, the Thompson Okanagan and everywhere in between. “It’s been going on for more than 20 years now,” Harris said of the tournament’s legacy. “We’ll have lots of talent on display and we’re bringing in some vendors [from Williams Lake] and other communities. And, we have great food.” Games began Monday, March 14, where 21 games took place, followed by another 21 games on Tuesday. Knockout games begin today until the tournament finals

on Friday, March 18 at the LCSS Williams Lake Campus. Monday saw both the host boys and girls Nuxalk Nation (Bella Coola) teams win their first games to advance on the winner’s side of the draw. The boys defeated Mt. Currie, 63-52. Leland Dester led all scorers for the Nuxalk Nation with 18 points, dropping multiple three-pointers from beyond the arc. Nuxalk Nation coach Angel Mack said it was a good start for the team, however, they’ll need to improve on a couple of things to advance deeper in the tournament. “We need to keep pushing the ball up the floor and rebound better,” Mack said. “That’s one thing we’ve got to focus on, and taking good shots.” The Nuxalk Nation girls, meanwhile, were defeated in their second game Monday afternoon against Greenville. The Nuxalk Nation boys and girls were slated to play Tuesday, however, scores weren’t available at press time. The girls final goes at 2 p.m. Friday at the Williams Lake Campus. The boys final will follow at 3:30 p.m. Harris said a youth dance will take place tonight at TRU for players. A cultural night was held Tuesday at Sugar Cane. “We just hope people will come out and enjoy the games, enjoy the food and come support the youth,” he said. Weekly tournament passes are available, along with single game

Thomas notches winner to grant Cougars BCMMHL finals berth A Williams Lake connection provided the heroics Sunday as the Cariboo Cougars punched a ticket to the BC Major Midget League final with a thrilling double overtime 2-1 win over the Vancouver Northwest Giants in game three of their semifinal series at a packed Kin 1 in Prince George. Trey Thomas, who was setup by fellow Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association product Daine Dubois, notched the series clincher at 6:33 of the second overtime, taking in a feed from Mason Richey and beating Giants goaltender Beck Warm with a quick wrister. Richey was first in on the forecheck and generated a turnover, before finding

Thomas wide open in front of the net. Dubois had the second assist on the goal. The Cougars will play in the league final next weekend against the Valley West Hawks. Devin Sutton also scored for the Cougars, Carter Stephenson tallied for the Giants. Dorrin Luding made 33 saves for the Cougars, including 10 in the extra sessions, while Warm blocked 34 shots for the Giants. Sutton got the Cougars on the board just under three minutes into the second, finding a rebound in front and beating Warm with a quick shot. Darian Long got the lone assist, getting the play started with an offensive zone face-off win and

a quick shot on net. The Cougars held the lead until late in the third period when Stephenson tied the game with a shot just under the crossbar. The Giants captain had his first shot blocked, but the puck came right back to him and suddenly he had space to walk in and fire one over Luding’s shoulder. Will Warm got the lone assist at 14:57. Tyler Maser had the best chance in a scoreless opening period. His shot from right in front of the net went off the inside of the post, but just stayed out. It was Josh Maser’s turn to ring one off the iron early in the second as he ripped a shot from

just inside the blue-line, but clanged it off the iron. Josh Maser found the crossbar again in the first overtime period, narrowly missing on the best chance in the 10-minute session. The Giants took the series opener 3-2 on Friday night. The Cougars responded with a 3-1 win Saturday to force Sunday’s Game 3. Game one of the BCMML final goes March 18 at the Langley Events Centre, game two is March 19 at the South Surrey Arena and game three, if necessary, takes place the following day on March 20 at the South Surrey Arena.

Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Williams Lake’s Cole Turner is coming off a fantastic cross-country skiing season that concluded with him claiming two gold medals at the BC Winter Games late last month. A Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club and Team BC representative, Turner, 14, medalled at every race he attended during the 2015/16 season. “The two golds at the BC Games were impressive, but even more so was a medal sweep at the 2016 Haywood Western Championships,” said his mom and one of his training facilitator, Lisa Young, adding the event saw skiers from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon and more compete. “As one of our Prince George coaches stated: ‘He continues to improve and gets noticeably better with each race.’” Turner also received an invite to ski as part of Team BC for the Haywood CrossCountry Ski Nationals in Whitehorse from March 17-27 but, unfortunately, his momentum came to

Williams Lake cross country skier Cole Turner medalled at every event he competed at during the 2015/16 season. an abrupt stop when he took a fall during cooldowns after winning his second medal at the BC Winter Games. “What they thought was a sprain turned out to be a fractured ankle,” Young said, adding Turner will spend the next four to six weeks in a cast, forcing him to withdraw from nationals. “It’s not all bad news, though. Cole had amassed so many points throughout the season to win the first-place aggregate award for his category.” The honour was presented to him at the BC Champion-

ships in Callaghan Valley two weekends ago. “He’s looking forward to getting back on his skis for the spring training session starting in May,” Young said. “He’s really hoping to end the season with a nomination to the BC Development Squad, which will allow him to train throughout the summer with B.C.’s top coaches and athletes.” In addition to time at the Whistler training centre during the summer, selection to the development squad includes a trip to train on Haig Glacier of Canmore in July.

Just as Major League Baseball teams ramp up their spring training, the Williams Lake Slo-Pitch League is making the final preparations for its regular season. Linda Barbondy, president of the WLSPL, said the league will be hosting an important meeting at the Overlander Convention Centre on March 22 at 7 p.m. where all team captains must be present. “We’re taking 30 teams this year,” Barbondy said, noting all teams must bring their

The league, which houses roughly 700 players, starts up April 18 and runs until Aug. 22 with several tournaments in between. The league’s icebreaker tournament is scheduled for April 23-24. If anyone is interested in putting a team in the league, or playing on a team, they can contact Barbondy on Facebook, or at 250305-7747.

Cariboo Archers notch top results at Canadian regionals Nine Cariboo Archers travelled to Quesnel March 6 to compete at the Canadian Regional Indoor Target Championships. “The results took a bit of time to be official because the shoots are held all over Canada on the weekend and then sent to Ottawa to be collated,” said Cariboo Archer Al Campsall. “Each archer shoots 60 arrows at 18 metres with 600 being a perfect score.”

The results for the Cariboo Archers are as follows: • Bob Thurow: 26th in senior compound unlimited • Jaimee Martin: 15th in cub compound • Emersyn Sanford: 15th in pre-cub compound • Jenna Miranda: 13th in pre-cub compound • Ty Thurow: 13th in cub compound • Joelle Thurow: ninth in pre-cub compound • Mary Thurow:

fourth in senior compound fixed pins • Fred Streleoff: third in senior barebow • Al Campsall: first in masters compound fixed pins “All of our young shooters were at the young end of their categories, so we can expect more from them in the next few years,” Campsall, who coaches the club’s young archers, said. Meanwhile, Campsall set a new Canadian

record, beating the old record by six points. He was also busy this past weekend in Vancouver as a nominee at the Sport BC Athlete of the Year Awards in the masters division. “I lost to a very deserving woman, Siew Har Hong, who is a world champion competing in her own age category in badminton,” Campsall said. Campsall said it was an honour and a humbling experience to rep-

resent the BC Archery Association as a finalist, and noted it was a great evening. “Carey Price won the Best of BC award,” he said. “We got to visit with Carey’s mom and dad, old friends, who accepted the award for him.” In addition, Allan Mathews, a retired School District 27 teacher and Hockey Canada board member, was honoured for volunteering for BC Hockey.

Sherwood was born in Modesto California on October 20, 1930 and graduated from Shasta High in Redding, California in 1948. Sherwood married his high school sweetheart, Beverly Jean Martin in 1950 at the family ranch homestead in Palo Cedro, California. Then in 1952 his son, Norm was born, followed by his two daughters, Ida in 1954 and Barbara in 1955. For the first years of marriage Sherwood and Jean owned and operated a dairy in California. In 1964 Sherwood, Jean and the children visited his parents at the YS Ranch, outside of 150 Mile House. After that visit it was decided by a family vote to move to British Columbia. In 1966 the family relocated to the Williams Lake area. During his working years in Canada he drove propane truck for Rock Gas/Canadian Propane. While driving truck he acquired his Industrial First Aid Certificate and took positions at West Fraser Mills, Pine Valley Contracting, Gibraltar Mines, Vedan Services, Pinette and Therrien Mills as a first aid attendant, security and fire protection. In conjunction to those years he also was a volunteer fireman with the Williams Lake Fire Department for seven years and received commendation in the line of duty. For a brief period of time in the early 70’s Sherwood and Jean went into business with his parents to operate Northern Machinery. The family moved to Quesnel for a couple of years where Sherwood managed sales.

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Marie (Thompson) Lepetich announce her passing at Cariboo Memorial Hospital on Feb. 25, 2016 at the age of 80. She is survived by her children Ellen (Daryl), Peter (Maria), Sharon (Eric), Roger (Julie), Brad (Kathrin) and step children Tracy and Kym, as well as 14 Grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

Sherwood was community minded, in his early years he was involved in minor league baseball as a coach and umpire for a number of years. Then in the last twenty plus years he and his wife were involved with Meals on Wheels, group bible studies with various church groups at Cariboo Lodge, Deni House and Seniors’ Village. Both Sherwood and Jean were avid outdoors fishermen. They had purchased ten acres on Quesnel Lake in 1980 and built a cabin where they spent many days together with friends and family enjoying the outdoors. If not outdoors, Sherwood enjoyed games and was quite competitive as anyone that knew him would attest too. It was a must for his children and grandchildren, fondly referred to as “grandfire” and the “gentle giant” to participate in games. He will be dearly missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sister, brother-in-laws and friends. Words cannot express the sadness this family feels but feel he is in a better place, at peace with our Lord. Prayer for all believers, John 17, 20-24 Celebration of life to take place at 1:00 pm on March 19, 2016 at St. Johns Lutheran Church, 377 Hodgson Road, Williams Lake. Those wishing to honor Sherwood’s memory may do so by donations to a charity of their choice.

Dunaway, Jean Schanen 15 May 1914 – 12 March 2016 Longtime Cariboo resident Jean Dunaway passed peacefully on March 12, surrounded by her four children and daughter-in-law. She led a colourful life beginning in Portland, Oregon then moved across the state to become a rancher’s wife on the high prairie. She and husband Houston immigrated to Canada in 1950 with their young family, settling at 150 Mile House. They ranched there for ten years before moving into Williams Lake and later Soda Creek. Jean loved opera, pool and golf, a sport she shared with many good friends in town. Jean was much admired for her cheerfulness and boundless energy, right into her nineties. Her husband of 60 years, James Houston Dunaway, preceded her in 1998. She is survived by children Joanne in Vancouver, Jacquie (Leo) in Nanaimo, Dan (Betty) in Victoria and Dave (Diane) in Soda Creek. She also leaves five grandchildren (Michéle Lazenby,Troy Therrien, Nicole Therrien Altmannshofer, Naomi Dunaway, and Houston Dunaway) and four great grandchildren (Colten, Dustin, Derek, Anwyn.) Thank you to Dr. McMahen and Dr. Els who cared for Jean, good friends Fay and Cory and the kind staff at the Seniors’ Village. If you wish to make a donation in her memory, Jean supported the Seniors’ Activity Centre in Williams Lake. A family gathering is planned for later in the year.
