Legacy plans set

On Wednesday the planning committee for the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School Com-memoration Project announced a series of events and initiatives that will take place in April and May to commemorate and create awareness and recognition of the residential school experience in the Cariboo.

The project aims to encourage, support and engage in a shared First Nations and non-First Nations dialogue on how to achieve recon-ciliation and support efforts by all those affected by the legacy of this residential school as they continue on their personal healing journey.

Two monuments will be unveiled — one at the St. Joseph Mission site and one in Boitanio Park.

A panel discussion with residen-tial school survivors will take place at WLSS, April 26 at 9 a.m.

Beautiful stone bench a tribute to Rayel MacDonald

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a beautiful stone bench in a community garden now commemo-rates the tragic death of 20-year-old nursing student Rayel MacDonald.

Last Saturday Rayel’s family, sur-rounded by friends and community members, gathered for a service at the site where she was killed while walking across Carson Drive with a group of friends in the early morning of April 22, 2012.

Her family unveiled a memorial bench created in Squamish by a ma-son named Moses.

The bench contains three seats. Each seat is engraved with messag-es. One from each of Rayel’s sisters, Rilla and Olivia. The third one has a line from a song.

Two large rocks, originally from the Squamish area, are anchored be-tween the three seating slabs.

Family friend Dr. Doug Neufeld, who was MC for the event, said a year before Rayel’s death the stu-dents at Williams Lake Secondary School chose Memory Garden as the

name for the garden.After Rayel’s death, the food pol-

icy council, who had organized the garden, welcomed the MacDonalds and the memorial bench project with open arms.

“It was a perfect blending of time,” Neufeld said. “It gave us something to focus on for family and friends, and something to work on to remember Rayel.”

Support from the food policy council, the city, that owns the land, city staff and local contractors en-sured completion of the project in time for the anniversary.

“There were also donations through the food policy council from family and the friends of Rayel and the TRU nursing group. The biggest contributor by far to the memorial is actually Penelope, Olivia’s pig,” Neufeld explained.

Through the Williams Lake 4H Show and Sale held in August, the sale and resale of Penelope gener-ated thousands of dollars, he added.

Family, friends, and the RCMP also came out to do some work on the garden itself.

“I certainly encourage people in

Rayel’s memory and other kids’ memories to come out and help to make it a success for our commu-nity.”

The location of the memorial bench strategically remembers Ray-el.

“If you look around, that’s where Rayel was born, Jan. 7, 1992 at Cari-boo Memorial Hospital. The memo-

rial faces where Rayel was brought up in Big Lake.

“I didn’t believe Andrea when she said it faced Big Lake, but then when I thought about it realized when you drive to Big Lake you drive south and then up and back.

SD 27 shuffles staff positions

In mid-March School District 27 announced that Columneetza Sec-ondary principal Gregg Gaylord would become principal of the new amalgamated middle/secondary school in Wil-liams Lake.

Columneetza and Williams Lake second-ary schools will be op-erated as one school on two campuses starting in September. The Colum-neetza campus will be predominantly for grades 7 to 9 and WLSS will be predominantly for grades 10 to 12.

This week Superin-tendent Mark Thiessen announced several final-ized appointments relat-ed to the new secondary school model.

WLSS principal Sil-via Dubray will become principal at Nesika El-ementary School.

Ken Lucks, acting principal at Columneet-za, will be the new vice-principal at WLSS.

Curt Levens remains as vice-principal at WLSS.

Cataline elementary principal Mike Grace will become vice-princi-pal at Columneetza.

Nesika Elementary principal Grant Gus-tafson will become vice-principal at Colum-neetza.

All of these individu-als have served the dis-trict in administrative positions for a number of years and will be missed by students, staff, and parents with whom they have connected in their current positions, Thies-

sen says.“I want to thank each

of them for all they have done for students in their current schools and their willingness to continue to serve the students in their new schools,” Thiessen says.

Other administrative appointments are ex-pected to be announced later this week, Thiessen said.

Thiessen also an-nounced Tuesday that the contest for naming the new combined sec-ondary school closed last week with a long list of suggested names that will be reviewed by a sub-committee of com-munity members, teach-ers and students to cre-ate a short list of names that will be submitted to the board for a final de-cision.

Future plans for memory garden include archway

“It actually does.”Williams Lake Sec-

ondary School is directly above, where Rayel went to school, made a lot of friends, played rugby on the fields, and graduated.

At the time of her death she had completed her second year of the nursing program at TRU and had done her clinical at the hospital.

“Part of the way I knew Rayel, aside from through my children, was watching her evolve as a nurse. I’d see her and bug her in the hos-pital. She was involved with patients I work with,” Neufeld said.

Sadly, he added, the spot marks the place where Rayel died.

“It’s a difficult one, but it brings everything together. It marks where she died, but also where she lived.”

“Hopefully this is the first of many events,” Neufeld said.

Future plans for the site include an archway to the entrance.

After MacDonald’s death, Martin William Gentles, then 27 years old, was charged with impaired driving caus-ing death and impaired driving causing bodily harm. On June 27, 2012 the charges were stayed in Williams Lake Pro-vincial Court pending further investigation.

Criminal Justice Branch spoksperson Neil MacKenzie confirmed the Crown is in the pro-cess of completing the charges assessment file.

“I cannot say when the process will be com-pleted, but there has been some communica-tion back and forth be-tween the Crown and the RCMP about the case.”

Neufeld said when the court proceedings are over, there is a plan to put up a plaque.

“We need to protect her rights through the court process. She still has rights that persons

are dealt with.”He also encouraged

the community to con-tinue supporting the family.

“Don’t be afraid to talk about Rayel with them. They want you

to,” he said.MacDonald’s friend

and fellow nursing stu-dent Alysha Mullett was seriously injured at the scene, but said Sat-urday she’s recovering physically, has continued

some nursing courses through correspondence, and will be taking a practicum soon.

The bench honours all young people who have died, Neufeld told the crowd.

Independent: Bob Simpson Cariboo North candidate

New Democratic Party: Duncan Barnett Cariboo North candidate

Liberal Party: Coralee Oakes Cariboo North candidate

Bob Simpson was re-elected as the MLA for Cariboo North on May 12, 2009.

He was first elected to the B.C. Legislature in 2005, and he began sitting as an Independent MLA in December of 2010.

Born in Scotland, Simpson’s family immi-grated to Winnipeg, Man. 1967.

He moved to British Columbia in 1974 when he joined the Canadian Navy. He has two under-graduate degrees and a teaching certificate from the University of Victoria.

Simpson is married to Trish (née Havens)

whose family has lived in Quesnel since 1964.

Bob and Trish moved to Quesnel in 1985 to teach, Bob at Quesnel Secondary School and Trish at Dragon Lake el-ementary.

Bob became science department head at QSS before leaving to start his own businesses.

While he was teach-ing, Bob wrote a weekly column on sustainabil-ity issues for the Cariboo Observer, developed a Grade 11 and Grade 12 forestry course, and de-signed an innovative self-directed study program for high-achieving stu-

dents in Grade 11. He also helped to set up

what is now known as the Fraser Basin Council.

After teaching, Bob ran a successful consulting business in the areas of community, business, and

human resource develop-ment. He also founded a training company that specialized in helping people to start their own businesses; many of those people are still success-fully running their busi-ness today.

In the mid-1990s, Bob dabbled in retail in Quesnel. He opened Fun-damentals, The Learn-ing Support Store, a toy, games, puzzles and teach-ing supply store. Together with a business partner, he purchased a down-town Quesnel shoe store.

In 1996, Bob joined Weldwood of Canada and eventually became

the company’s corporate manager for organiza-tional effectiveness and leadership development.

His main responsibili-ties with Weldwood were to develop the company’s technical and supervisory training systems, ensure capital investments were maximized through ap-propriate training and team-based management systems, and assist the company to successfully implement company-wide change initiatives.

In 2004, Bob decided to enter politics due to his increasing concern that we were living unsustain-ably and his belief that

the hyper-politicization of our representative sys-tem was undermining our ability to make meaning-ful decisions for the long term.

While in opposition, Bob became a high-pro-file critic for forestry and, following the 2009 elec-tion, aboriginal relations and reconciliation.

In 2010, Bob was eject-ed from the NDP caucus for writing two sentences in his weekly column about a speech that the NDP leader had given to the Union of BC Mu-nicipalities. He then made the decision to leave the political party system

altogether and has been sitting as an independent ever since.

Bob is a vocal advocate for electoral and demo-cratic reform and, along with B.C.’s other Inde-pendent MLAs, he has presented an agenda for reform that would go a long way toward revital-izing B.C.’s democratic system.

Bob is a former na-tional triathlon champion in his age group and was named BC’s Male Triath-lete of the Year in 2002. He is also an avid cyclist, runner, sailor and kay-aker.

- Biography submitted

My name is Duncan Barnett. I am applying for the job of MLA for Cariboo North.

I’m running with the NDP because I believe we can do better in this province — in terms of how we treat people, how we manage our economy, and how we care for our environment. It’s time for a change in B.C.

My wife Jane and I live at Miocene on the Horse-fly Road in the family home I helped build as a teenager, where we have raised our three daugh-ters Lindsay, Heather and

Kate. We own and operate a

ranching business in the Miocene/Horsefly area. My family has a strong background in the Cari-boo. My grandfather worked in the sawmill and lumber business and my father was a provin-cial court judge in Wil-liams Lake and Quesnel.

My mother was a teacher and counsel-ling psychologist in the school district. My wife is a social worker. I have worked in the region for much of my life — from the bunkhouse to the

boardroom. Before going to university and getting a degree in agricultural economics, I explored the province and worked in almost all our natural resource sectors, includ-

ing commercial fishing, logging, sawmills, guide outfitting, oil and gas drilling, and ranching.

I began working in the Cariboo as a professional agrologist in the early 1990s and worked for Ducks Unlimited and the Fraser Basin Council.

I was involved with treaty negotiations and took a position as man-ager of Aboriginal Affairs with the Cariboo Lumber Manufacturers’ Associa-tion.

I was a Cariboo Re-gional District director for the Horsefly, Likely, Big

Lake, 150 Mile and Wil-liams Lake Fringe area from 2000 until 2010. My experience taught me the importance of working with a team to get things done to build our commu-nities. I worked hard with other board members to make improvements to our recreation facilities, develop the Central Cari-boo engineered landfill at Gibralter Mine, and to provide support for rural communities with com-munity halls, fire depart-ments, and libraries. We created policies for the development of agricul-

tural land and initiatives to help producers deal with the BSE crisis and invasive plants.

We ensured that resi-dential development re-spected our lakes, rivers and streams.

I successfully encour-aged the CRD board to move into new areas such as economic develop-ment, heritage, and arts and culture.

I was taught that giving back to my community is important.

I have been a 4H leader and served on my com-munity association. I

have also been active on several provincial indus-try and professional orga-nizations which has pro-vided me with experience and insight into natural resource legislation, regu-lation and policy.

My ties to the Cari-boo, my experience in resource industries, and my determination to make things better in our communities will make me an effective MLA. I will work hard as part of a new NDP government to bring the change we need in the Cariboo.


I believe in the abun-dance of the North Cari-boo, of its people and its resources.

My family moved here during the great depres-sion of the 1930s and our story has been one of hard work, one step in front of the other, generation and generation, to make this community successively better for the next gen-eration. I have always loved to hear the story of our family moving to the North Cariboo to carve out their new lives.

My family was very proud when I had the op-portunity to attend and graduate university with a Bachelor’s Degree in

Political Science. This education has pro-

vided me with an amaz-ing job, which I have had the great privilege to work at for 14 years, as the manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Quesnel. This job has provided me with leader-ship opportunities in our community and provin-cially representing small business and tourism.

I have also had the honour to serve Quesnel as a city councillor for six years. I am 40 years old with no children. Most of my family lives in Cari-boo North.

This election cam-paign is an exciting time

for me to get out and talk with people and hear their family’s stories and dreams of what they wish for the future. A vote for “Coralee” means proven leadership at the commu-nity and provincial level

bringing our rural voice to the table.

I have strong relations with all levels of govern-ment which is important to move important proj-ects forward.

I am a fiscal conser-vative who believes we should be controlling spending and working to-wards a debt free B.C.

I believe leadership is about making difficult decisions and often hav-ing to say no.

In the BC Liberal plat-form, we are recogniz-ing the critical role rural B.C. plays in generating wealth and economic op-portunity for the province and will start revenue

sharing discussions with rural resource communi-ties. I believe good pay-ing jobs are the key to our economic success and to our future. I sup-port more opportunities for young people to begin skills and trades training in high school.

I will be a champion for the diversification of our economy and attraction of investment, whether it be supporting our small businesses, agriculture, sunrise forestry opportu-nities, tourism, or mining and green technology.

A modern knowledge, resource and gateway economy, requires state of the art communication

infrastructure. We must address cellular phone coverage and broad-band requirements. I am a strong advocate for quality health care and addressing the needs of seniors. Board and com-mittee service includes: City of Quesnel environ-mental committee chair, and liaison to community policing, fire protection and RCMP; Air-shed Management; Weldwood Public Advisory; North Cariboo Marketing Co-operative; Canadian Academy of Travel and Tourism Industry Ad-visory; North Cariboo Community Campus Fundraising; North Cari-

Williams Lake city council gave the first three readings to its 2013 -2017 financial plan at the April 23 regular council meeting.

Adoption of the five-year financial plan must take place before council can pass its annual tax bylaw and set its tax rate.

Council is proposing a 1.97 per cent tax revenue increase, which if ad-opted will be the lowest increase since 2005.

The rate will translate into a residential increase of $15.33 per $100,000 of assessment, $20 for business, and $1,597 for industry.

Property tax distribu-tion will remain the same in 2013 as it was in 2012.

Residential will con-tribute 38 per cent, busi-ness 25 per cent, industry is 22 per cent, and the re-mainder by other classes.

There will also be no changes to water and sewer fees. They have remained the same since 2010.

The airport is self-sus-taining and is kept sepa-rate from the budget.

“It is funded by fees and services charges,” director of financial ser-vices Pat Higgins ex-plained.

At the budget meeting held April 17, council also proposed borrow-ing $215,00 from landfill reserves, at a five-year-term, to apply toward the South Lakeside Project. The rest will be funded through capital reserves.

Capital projects for 2013 total $4.9 million and include widening and repaving of South Lakeside Drive, Phase 5 of the River Valley storm sewer upgrade, public Wi-Fi at city hall and Cariboo Memo-rial Recreation Complex, city-wide parking lot im-provements and a pedes-trian underpass/bridge connecting Mackenzie Avenue and the River Valley Trail.

Finance committee chair Geoff Bourdon noted that 47 per cent of the capital budget is be-ing funded by grants.

“I think that’s impor-tant for the community to see that we are so re-liant on provincial and federal funding for a lot

of the projects we do,” Bourdon said. “Funding dries up for three or four years and our five year financial plan has to be adjusted.”

Going forward, coun-

cil is going to be looking at a “realistic” financial plan that leaves room for flexibility if some-thing happens, Bourdon added.

Council will adopt the

five-year-plan and give three readings to the tax bylaw on May 7. Final adoption of the tax by-law will take place at a special council meeting on May 14.

Continuing to plan strategically

Results to be determined

I had a great time cheering on our local competitors at the Indoor Rodeo Saturday, along

with the sold-out crowd. We also had a visit from Miss Rodeo Canada Gil-lian Shields. A big thank you to all of the sponsors and volunteers who put in the hard work to make this such a successful community event.

I am pleased that we have reached a fire protection agreement with the Cariboo Regional District. It means

certainty for both r u r a l f r i n g e and City residents, and it m e a n s

the city has important financial sta-bility for an additional five years. My thanks to council for seeing these negotiations through and enabling us to reach this agreement. I’m looking forward to working with the CRD in continuing to serve our communities going forward.

An open house Monday night on the proposed community forest ap-plication to be put forward by the city and Williams Lake Indian Band hosted by the Fraser Basin Council was very well attended by over 100 people. The purpose was to provide information on the application and receive recommendations from the public. It was a very respectful and productive meeting. It was clear there was a lot of passion and frustra-tion around this issue. I look forward to the report summarizing all of the recommendations we received.

Council unanimously gave first three readings to the 2013 budget and five-year financial plan Tues-day. This is a $32.5 million budget, with $12.9 million in capital projects and $18.8 million in operating costs. South Lakeside will be repaved with no long-term borrowing, and we have kept the tax revenue increase to 1.97 per cent, the lowest increase since 2005. Since then, tax rate in-creases have been between three per cent and four per cent. We changed the process for this budget by plan-ning earlier, building a provisional budget last fall from department business plans and council’s strate-gic priorities. By starting the process earlier, we were able to have public input opportunities early on, and col-lect more overall input. We are con-tinuing to plan strategically, and to put money into capital reserves.

Kerry Cook is the mayor of Wil-liams Lake.

The race is on, and there goes — the incumbent MLAs, Cariboo-South,

Donna Barnett and Cariboo North, Bob Simpson; both are on the track in the quest for re-election and be-cause of that, where you would normally be reading what one or the other of them had to say in this space — in the quest to maintain political correctness — you have Cattle Fodder instead.

For perspective, I recall an an-ecdote my younger brother once

r e l a t e d to me, of a chance meeting (in the s t r e e t ) with an

old friend of his, unseen and un-spoken to in years.

After an exchange of general greetings, my brother jumped in with, “So, how’s the wife?”

The curt reply, “We’re di-vorced.”

After a long silence and with a wrong foot already firmly wedged, my brother gently inquired, “So — is that a good thing, or a bad thing?”

And, in both election matters, Tribune reader opinion — the vote is also still out with the outcome yet to be decided. The results hinge on the popular-choice of the gen-eral electorate and in the opinion of general readership (Tribune) to be determined over the coming days and weeks.

Other similarities are shared by politicians and newspaper jour-nalists/columnists; both have to be assured (or brave) enough to state their position (on current is-sues, government policy, other concerns) publicly, on record, both tough enough to accept (and han-dle) any criticism and dissent.

Some of which is constructive and listened to when calmly and politely verbalized (written) but, alternatively can be just nasty and uninformed. So much so that one must develop (it takes time) a little thicker skin or the innate ability to let yucky-stuff roll off your back, making the truly ugly stuff less likely to leave a life-altering scar.

Sometimes it’s a lot easier just to blend in and be one of the herd!

The world is on watchMany around the world breathed a sigh of relief last

Friday when a second Boston Marathon bombing sus-pect was arrested, following the death of the first in a fire fight with police hours before.

“The terror is over,” Boston police tweeted follow-ing the arrest, yet another sign of the times in a case in which speed of reporting by mainstream media and the spread of information through social media reached a dizzying velocity.

Sober reflection may finally result in a recognition of the risks of media letting speed trump accuracy — par-ticularly among some mainstream news-gathering orga-nizations that should have known better.

But as media began to paint the picture of two alien-ated immigrant brothers from Chechnya, harbouring unspecified grudges against the U.S., the case immedi-ately began to assume more manageable dimensions. As deadly as it had been — the final tally including three initial bombing victims and a police officer killed, not to mention scores of marathon spectators injured April 15, a robbery and hostage taking, and the death of one of the alleged perpetrators — it was still somehow easier to get one’s head around than if it had all remained a mysteri-ous terrorist plot.

The terror isn’t over, of course — evidenced by the announced arrests in Canada this week of two men ac-cused of plotting to derail a Toronto-New York passen-ger train — just one particular terror. And as the world comes to grips with the realization that the bombers’ motives may never fully be known, what is evident from the Boston case is that we already live in a very different world from the one temporarily paralyzed by the events of 9-11.

The startling tempo of today’s media, whether main-stream or amateur, is in direct proportion with people’s hunger for the truth. Today’s audience, the marathon bombing shows, is far more wary and skeptical — and less likely to passively accept officially sanctioned re-ports and platitudes.

There are many, Boston has also shown, who want to help in times of emergency. And is it just optimism, or could it be that there has been a slight increase in trans-parency, as authorities and the media have come to real-ize, that the people themselves — many of them armed as never before with picture-taking capability, can be an important part of the information and evidence-gather-ing chain?

New company seems to have cashEditor:

The “Concerned Citizens” web-site, advertised in the Tribune, ad-mits they’re connected to Premier Christy Clark with a “past profes-sional relationship with the current premier.”

I wonder where a new company like this gets big bucks to buy full-page political advertising, for some pretty nasty attack ads, so close to election time.

(Advertisement, Tribune, April 4, page A13).

I’m also a bit curious about the Trib’s new, big-business columnist, Jim Shepard (found in the TribuneWeekend paper’s news section, the next day on April 5, page A5.)

Is Mr. Shepard really a retired oil company director, who still can’t get enough oil?

In future, could the Tribuneplease identify these opinion pieces as opinions, or place them on the editorial pages where they belong.

Also, could the Tribune please clarify whether this opinion writer is the same Jim Shepard who is lead-

ing the Concerned Citizens com-pany and its advertising campaign.

Peter Atamanenko150 Mile House

Editor’s note: The Tribune often runs articles by guest writers and columnists, especially in the week-end edition where there is more room for broader-based repartee. Our apologies for not identifying the Jim Shepard piece as opinion. We will endeavour to make it clear next time.

Concerns not laid to restEditor:

After attending the April 9 city council meeting my concerns re-garding the new branding for Wil-liams Lake have not been laid to rest.

The audience was reassured that there was an in depth public con-sultation process. The marketing company came to Williams Lake, talked to the people, read reports, formed a committee, constructed a website … basically they did their due diligence.

A plan was presented to coun-cil at a Committee of the Whole meeting where they recommended it be approved. Shortly after the branding domain name www.re-publicoflife.ca was in fact being used to link to the city’s website.

It seems the process left out the public consultation where they get feedback, tweak it and then pres-ent a publicly endorsed plan to

council for vote and then imple-ment after approval.

But yes we are told they did present it to the public … in the Lower Mainland, in Calgary and who knows where else.

I find it appalling that these peo-ple who don’t live here who don’t know Williams Lake are approv-ing our brand.

After overwhelming outrage by the citizens of Williams Lake we are now being told the concept that was recommended to be ap-proved at the Committee of the Whole and was supposed to be voted on at council April 9 was not really the finished product.

I question the protocol of coun-cil voting on a concept that was not final. I am also mystified why the public were not informed of the website that was implemented to keep the citizens informed and gather feedback.

A perusal of the city websites

shows nothing of the branding in their news feed nor could I find any link to direct citizens to the branding website.

When one visits www.mywil-liamslake.placebrand.ca it is clear that the informing ended last July 21 … and it wasn’t until citizen outrage that another update was added on April 9.

So at this point do I feel confi-dent that the new motion to pres-ent the latest brand presentation to the public will be in a spirit to gather feedback to maybe tweak to something we all can be proud of?

Not one bit, especially when I hear comments that those that are not happy with it are too old, neg-ative, look at life as a glass half empty, or somehow just not intel-ligent enough to get it.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photoJoan Sorley (left), Jack Darney, Cecil Morhart and WLIB Chief Ann Louie chat after the community forest meeting at 150 Mile House Monday.

Greater sharing advocatedfor community forest plan

There were repeated requests for rural com-munity representation on the proposed Williams Lake community forest’s board of directors during a public meeting held at 150 Mile House Monday evening.

About 100 people gathered at the 150 Mile House Fire Hall to dis-cuss the community for-est agreement proposed by the City of Williams Lake and the Williams Lake Indian Band.

Gail Wallin from the Fraser Basin Council facilitated the meeting and insisted people make specific suggestions and recommendations.

Presently there are six members on the board, three appointed by the band and three by the city.

Mayor Kerry Cook said the city and band have established a le-gal partnership that is at arms length from the pro-ponents.

“The directors are re-sponsible for the admin-istration and manage-ment of the community forest application, which includes approving bud-gets, establishing poli-cies and operating proce-dures.”

A community council or community resource board would also be es-tablished as a forum for ongoing and meaningful dialogue with communi-ties.

“The idea of creating such a council or board was made in response to feedback we received at the community meeting in November 2011. This is something we’ve add-

ed to the application,” Cook said.

Ken Day, forester and manager of the applica-tion process, said the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Use Management Plan will continue to apply in the area and will be the “mainstay of the man-agement plan.”

Some residents advo-cated improved safety standards for logging roads, and that local con-tractors would have log-ging and salvage oppor-tunities in the forest.

A retired forester, in-volved with community forests in the Cariboo Chilcotin, said the total annual allowable cut of 40,000 cubic metres for the CFA’s two blocks is too “little to go around.”

Joan Sorley, Cariboo Regional District Big Lake/Horsefly/Likely area director, suggested the terms of reference for a community coun-cil or a community re-source board need to be enshrined in the CFA ap-plication so communities know how they will be represented.

Jack Darney, Big Lake Community Association president, said the coun-cil needs to be linked to the board so it has some meaningful direction.

Another person sug-gested the community council needs to have a 33 per cent share of the partnership.

Amy Sandy from the Williams Lake band said there has to be exper-tise in land management on the council and that youth should be repre-sented.

Sam Zirnhelt from Big Lake said the communi-ties of Big Lake, Mio-cene and Horsefly are

interested in participat-ing in the management of the North block because it is closest to them, not the areas closer to the 150 Mile House or Sugar Cane, or the South block.

Zirnhelt also said frus-tration felt by people in the rural communities comes from the past four meetings they’ve had with the proponents.

“We still didn’t address the core issues,” Zirnhelt said. “We want to discuss governance, area and fi-nancial benefits.”

Cecil Morhart from Horsefly said five per cent of the net profits go-ing to rural communities is not enough.

“I don’t think the city and band should get 95 per cent. That’s not a community forest en-deavour.”

When asked Cook said: “tens of thousands” has been spent on the ap-plication process so far. If the community forest loses money, Cook said the legal partners would take the hit.

“Obviously that’s not something we would like to happen,” Cook added.

Williams Lake Indian Band Chief Ann Louie said the proponents know there are outstand-ing issues and questions that the rural communi-ties want answered and addressed.

“We want you to know that we will take con-sideration of everything raised this evening,” Louie said.

A summary from the meeting will go to the residents who attended the meeting, the propo-nents, and the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions, Wallin said.

If the Williams Lake Indoor Ro-deo was any indication, Williams Lake and area cowboys and cow-girls are primed for a B.C. Rodeo Association season filled with suc-cesses.

Multiple local cowboys and cow-girls made their marks in multiple events last weekend at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex — the first rodeo of the BCRA season — bringing home accolades and cash, along with putting themselves in great positions to kick off the BRCA schedule.

Around $7,500 was awarded to lo-cal competitors over the weekend’s three rodeo performances, which be-gan Friday night and stretched until Sunday.

Additionally, local bull riders dominated the leaderboard in their event with Ryan Jasper (Riske Creek), Evan Fuller (Riske Creek) and Colton Manuel (150 Mile House), taking home a large chunk of the prize money.

Jasper scored an 88-point ride to win first place and $843.03, while Fuller composed a 76-point ride for second and $668.61. In fourth place was Manuel with a 73-point score to win $290.70.

In tie down roping, Riske Creek’s Virgil Poffenroth put together a 10.7-second run to win $769.95. Right behind him was Williams Lake’s Brad Thomas, in 11.1 sec-onds, winning $610.65.

Steer Wrestler Mike Hurst of 150 Mile House finished fourth in 5.9 seconds, winning $221.40.

In breakaway roping Williams Lake and area cowboys and cow-girls dominated the leaderboard. In second was 150 Mile House’s Al-lison Everett (3.6 seconds), taking home $625.14. Third place went to Riske Creek’s Keely Durrell (3.8 seconds, $434.88), while fourth place went to Williams Lake’s Jaime Macdonald (3.8 seconds, $271.80) and sixth place went to Williams Lake’s Denise Swampy (4.5 sec-onds, $163.08).

Alkali Lake’s Devon Robbins took the nod in the junior steer rid-ing event with a 75-point ride to bring home $275.40. Fourth place went to 150 Mile House’s Blaine Manuel (71 points, $81), while Alexis Creek’s Reagan Charleyboy and Hanceville’s Ty Myers tied for sixth (64 points, $40.50).

In saddle bronc riding Gang Ranch’s Dan Gorman held on for a 58-point ride and a fourth-place re-

sult, netting him $202.50.Williams Lake’s Callie Hume,

in the junior barrel racing event, claimed the top spot with a 14.33-sec-ond time, winning $275.40. In sixth place was 150 Mile House’s Rikki Laviolette in 14.976 seconds, to win $40.50.

In ladies’ barrel racing Williams Lake’s Madison Smith and Bridge Lake’s Claire Myers finished eighth and 10th, respectively. Smith put together a 14.557-second time ($199.44), while Myers finished just a tenth of a second behind in 14.654 seconds ($99.72).

The peewee barrel racing event was dominated by locals, with Wil-liams Lake’s Brianna Billy, Tatla Lake’s Sydney Schuk and 150 Mile House’s Brock Everett taking first, second and third, respectively. Billy raced to a 15.864-second time, win-ning $172, while Schuk (16.512 sec-onds) and Everett (18.189 seconds) won $129 and $86 for their efforts.

In junior breakaway roping Tatla Lake’s Jennifer Schuk was the lone Cariboo-Chilcotin winner, putting together a 5.5-second run — good for $398.52.

Team ropers Aaron Palmer (Ka-mloops) and Myles King (150 Mile House) earned $350.65 each and fifth place for their 7.7-second run. Ralph Myers (Williams Lake) and Gary Nicholson (Quesnel) teamed up for a 11.9-second run to win $13.49 each.

The Williams Lake Indoor Ro-deo opened each performance with

an opening act featuring the Young Gunz trick riders and the West Coast Thunder Drill Team.

Visiting rodeo royalty including Ginelle Talarico (Ashcroft queen), Harley Antoine (Ashcroft princess), Carolyn Cook (high school rodeo ambassador), Kassie Vipond (Miss Kispiox Princess) and Miss Rodeo Canada Gillian Shields (Didsbury, Alta.) joined Williams Lake Stam-pede Queen Alexis Forseille, Wil-liams Lake Stampede Princess Ter-ris Billyboy and this year’s Williams Lake Stampede royalty contestants Rachel Abrahamse (Miss Day-break Rotary), Kyra Stuart (Miss M.H. King Excavating) and Karina Sukert (Miss Rotary Club) to help

out around the rodeo throughout the weekend.

Longtime rodeo announcer Brett Gardiner and clown and barrel man Dennis Halstead helped keep the ro-deo action flowing smoothly.

On Sunday this year’s crop of BC Cowboy Hall of Fame inductees were introduced to the audience. Archie Williams (Cache Creek), Larry Ramstad (Gang Ranch), John Dodd (Riske Creek, post humous) and Frank Teer (Houston) were honoured for their achievements in ranching and rodeoing with their in-ductions.

The Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Associa-tion Gun Show certainly gave a bang for its buck.

Terry Chupa, presi-dent of the WLSA, said 330 people attended the show held Saturday and Sunday at the WLSA clubhouse on Bond Lake Road.

The gun show was the first of its kind in Williams Lake since 1985, Chupa said.

“Al Bush from Chil-cotin Guns and Moe Monita, vice-president of the WLSA, were in-strumental in making the gun show a huge success,” Chupa said.

He added numerous other volunteers helped make the event pos-sible.

“I’d just like to thank the numerous volun-teers and the people who came out to sup-

port this event,” Chupa said.

The WLSA is now set to host an upcoming adult shoot May 18 at

the WLSA range. Following that, the

WLSA hosts an Inter-Agency Shoot June 9, featuring an accuracy

shooting competition between the RCMP, conservation officers, sheriffs and extreme practical shooters.

Gun show first in Williams Lake since 1985There were all sorts of interesting old and new guns and related hunting items on display at the gun show over the weekend. Some collectors were were a little gun shy about giving their names when talking about their collections for fear of being robbed. Part of this collection included a Russian army rifle from the Second World War (right), a machete in a fancy leather scabbard, a double-edged knife in a uniquely carved round case, and a sword with a leather-bound handle.

Minor fastball teams hit Kiwanis Saturday

The Williams Lake Minor Fastball Associ-ation is throwing heat, hosting two exhibition games this weekend in Williams Lake at Ki-wanis Park.

At noon the Williams

Lake Peewees take on 100 Mile House.

Following that, at 1:30 p.m., the Wil-liams Lake Bantams hit the diamond to play the 100 Mile House Bantam Rep club.

Michele Tenning, president of the WLM-FA, said the associa-

tion will still be ac-cepting registration for the upcoming season at the games.

Players hoping to form this year’s ban-tam rep squad will be in action at Kiwanis Park.

“We’ve got about 110 kids registered so

far,” Tenning said. “But we’re hoping to

get a few more kids for the older divisions.”

The Williams Lake Bantam Rep under 14 Loons finished second last year at the B.C. Provincial ‘C’ Minor Fastball Champion-ships in Clearwater.

No team from Wil-liams Lake had partici-pated in a provincial championship since 2000 when Williams Lake hosted the tour-nament at the Dave Means Ballpark.

“That means it’s mandatory for us to move up to the ‘B’ di-

vision this year,” Ten-ning said.

Additionally, a ban-tam boys team is be-ing put together for next year’s 2014 B.C. Summer Games in Na-naimo.

“Most people still don’t know we’re still playing ball,” Tenning

said, who encourages anyone interested to come out to Kiwan-is Park Saturday to watch.

The WLMFA league games begin next Tuesday, April 30 at the Esler Sports Com-plex’s Dave Means Ball Park.

Local youth archers take gold, bronze, at B.C. Junior Olympic Archery Championships

Two Cariboo youth archers were firing on all cylinders April 13-14 in Prince George at the B.C. Junior Olym-pic Archery Program Championships.

Williams Lake’s Cameron Brockel and Breanne Carlson fin-ished with a bronze medal and a gold med-al, respectively, at the competition.

Brockel’s bronze came in the hotly con-tested Cadet Com-pound Class while Carlson posted top scores for her medal in the Junior Compound Class.

Cariboo Archer and multi-time Canadian National Champion Al Campsall is the team’s coach.

Campsall recently learned from Archery Canada he’d set a new Canadian record for indoor target archery at the B.C. Indoor Championships March 30-31 in Cranbrook.

The Cariboo Archers in Williams Lake are now preparing to host their annual Outdoor 3D Shoot May 11-12 at the Williams Lake Sportsmen’s Asso-ciation clubhouse on Bond Lake Road.

Earth Day is celebrated annually April 22 with events held across the globe to demonstrate sup-port for protecting the environ-ment. FortisBC recognizes that sound environmental practices make good business sense and that’s why the company is committed to delivering safe, reliable energy in an environ-mentally responsible way to all of the communities we serve.We look for ways to support the environment in our operations and with services that we pro-vide to our customers.One simple way customers can help the environment is to consider our paperless billing option, a fast and simple way to save paper and ultimately our forests.When customers go paperless, their bill is delivered directly to their email address as a PDF file attached to the email. The eBill service is a fast, easy and environmentally friendly way for customers to access both their electricity and natural gas bill. Another simple way customers can look at reducing their carbon footprint is through rebates and financial incentives offered as part of our PowerSense and En-ergy Efficiency and Conservation programs. . Through FortisBC’s PowerSense programs, electricity customers saved an estimated 32 million kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012. The PowerSense programs helps customers conserve energy and get the most out of their energy dollar by providing both

financial incentives and advice on energy efficient technologies and practices. In 2012, FortisBC’s natural gas Energy Efficiency and Conserva-tion programs helped residential, commercial and industrial cus-tomers save more than 360,000

gigajoules of natu-ral gas, enough energy to heat some 4,100 homes in one year.

Renewable natural gas is a B.C.-made, carbon neutral energy source. The methane gas used to produce renewable natural gas comes from organic waste found at local landfills and farms. Instead of escaping into the atmosphere as a harmful green-house gas, it’s captured, cleaned and added to our pipeline, giv-ing our customers a renewable energy source.For about $5 more per month on their natural gas bill, custom-ers can designate 10 per cent of their natural gas use as renew-able. We’ll then inject an equiva-lent amount into our system.To date, more than 60 businesses and close to 3,800 residential customers have signed up to be part of the renewable natural gas program. Helping customers conserve energy is one of the most cost effective ways for us to meet future needs. And by making thoughtful energy choices — whether it’s switching to paper-less billing, installing energy efficient lighting or upgrading to a high-efficiency natural gas furnace — you’re supporting the environment.

Tom Loski is the vice president of customer service at FortisBC.

Facts about the Planet Earth

Earth is the only planet we know of in our solar system that humans can live on. No other planet has oceans,

other life forms, and enough oxygen to comfortably breathe. Because we have so much water, Earth is called the Blue

Planet. From space the oceans combined with the atmosphere makes the planet

look blue.

Gift Certi� cates available

It’s a cookbook but more than a cookbook. It is a cookbook with fascinating stories about people from around the world, people who are our neighbours and friends right here in Williams Lake.

Spicing Up the Cariboo, Char-acters, Cultures and Cuisines of the Cariboo Chilcotin will be launched with a book signing at the Seniors Activity Centre Satur-day evening, April 27 from 7 to 9 p.m.

It will be a momentous coming together of people and cultures.

The book started with an idea to promote multiculturalism in the community and raise the level of understanding about the many diverse cultural backgrounds of people living in the region.

Its writers, Margaret-Anne Enders, Marilyn Livingston, and Tom Salley with Bettina Schoen providing inspirational direction are all social support workers with the Williams Lake branch of Ca-nadian Mental Health.

They sent out word in the com-munity a year ago that they wanted to create a cookbook featuring rec-ipes from various cultures, along with personal stories about people and their heritage.

The writers were given the green light by CMHA and a small grant from the Central Cariboo arts and Culture Society (city/CRD cultur-al program), says Shoen, CMHA’s multiculturalism program man-ager, who inspired the idea for the book.

Lakecity authors Christian Pe-tersen and Sage Birchwater soon got on board to provide advice and support and before long Cait-lin Press had adopted the project, raising the level of the production from a home grown to world class.

Birchwater was charged with the task of helping to edit the sto-ries collected Enders, Livingston, and Salley.

“I must confess that oral history is one of my sweet joys as a writer in this region,” Birchwater says in the forward. “Every one of us has a story, and each of us comes from somewhere unique, and brings the essence of our background and traditions with us.

Nothing better reflects who we are than the food we eat.

“What totally surprised me was the extent of cultural diversity that exists in this region,” Birchwater continues.

In his cursory count, Birchwater says the book contains the stories and recipes of 49 families and in-dividuals who trace their roots to 45 distinct cultural backgrounds that circle the globe.

He says several of the interview-ees come from a mix of cultural backgrounds and some families consciously celebrate two or more ethnic traditions.

Salley says the book also has a “slow food” undercurrent, encour-aging people to use the freshest locally grown and produced food they can find.

As part of their studies about countries around the world, Enders

says a group of families who home school their children together have had their children make the name tags for the people featured in the book. The name tags feature little flags flags from their country of origin or ancestry.

“We’ve all learned a lot about writing, editing and publishing,” Salley says. “The CMHA board and directors were supportive and made it possible for us to do this.”

“Whether people have been here a log time or are newcomers, the people we spoke to just loved be-ing here and wanted to raise their families here,” Livingston says.

The others agree.

They are pictured here with the invitation and name tags created by children for those whose stories are in the book.

Fun N’ Games theme for paradeTime to put on your parade entry

thinking caps. Fun N’ Games is the theme for

this year’s Daybreak Rotary Stam-pede Parade, says Erik Zwiers, one of five parade marshalls organizing the event this year.

He says the parade committee is asking people to focus on creating

entries representing unique recre-ational opportunities and staying active in the Cariboo.

Preparations for the 2013 parade on Saturday, June 29 are well un-derway.

“Right now the committees are getting together to plan and orga-nize the parade, and we’re looking for individuals and organizations to step up and help,” Zwiers explains.

“We’re starting to look for spon-

sorships, we’re getting ready to choose an honourary parade mar-shall and we’re re-vamping our website.”

Zwiers notes he is one of five pa-rade marshalls, adding that one is dedicated to the equine component of the event. “The rest of us keep everything else running smoothly,” Zwiers says.

The parade route will be the same as last year, and volunteer re-

cruitment has begun. “There is a wide range of activi-

ties and tasks for volunteers and we always welcome new faces,” Zwi-ers says. “We’re also looking for an organization who can supply a group of volunteers for things like security for the barricades.”

For more information about vol-unteering for the Daybreak Rotary Stampede Parade can call Erik at Papyrus Printing at 250-392-4744.

Kids from the Child Development Centre preschool have re-leased their ‘inner art-ists’ for a beautiful art show at Station House Gallery.

The fresh, unique show is on display in the upper level of the gallery until the end of April, and each piece is for sale as a fundraiser for the CDC and for the gallery.

Members of the com-munity had the op-portunity to meet the young artists last week at open house events where they enjoyed re-freshments as well as art, and the opportunity to meet Aileen Hewett, original founder of the CDC.

She said that it is ex-citing to see how the or-ganization has grown. “It has grown on the inside for quite a while, expanding and adding services and programs, and is now expanding on the outside as well,” she said.

She noted that the art show is an excel-lent opportunity for both the children and the community. “It’s wonderful for any child to be exposed to the arts community. One of the main features of the Centre is that there is no difference made between children. They are all the same – we

appreciate each one.” CDC executive di-

rector Nancy Gale re-cently received a com-memorative plaque from the BC govern-ment congratulating them on 40 years of continuous service in child care. “You think about 40 years, and how many children have come through and been supported by the CDC. What we’ve been trying to do is bring the children out and make that connection with the community,” she stated.

“And this is one of our connections. It’s an opportunity for non-profits to work to-gether. Things are tight with the economy now and it’s good to support each other.”

She explained that there is a minimum $5 bid on the art work.

“The first time we displayed the kids’ art-work in this show all the pictures sold, so we had to very quickly find more to sell - we want-ed to make sure we had enough for both nights. The first time we did anything like this was when we kicked off Art

Walk in the park with Willie Dye. As a result we decided we really needed to feature chil-dren’s art.”

Sara Betts is a CDC preschool teacher who helped organize the event. She said it’s great for kids to have this experience. “It’s amazing; they feel proud of what they’ve done and they get to bring their families and show their art and ex-plain what they did,” she said, adding that the event was orga-nized as a gala and that the kids were invited to get dressed up in their fancy clothes.

There were party dresses and tuxedos at the gala, and Betts ex-plained that many par-ents were encouraged by their children to get dressed up, too.

“For the community to come here and see local children as artists shows how the children are expressing them-selves,” she continued.

“They’ve made something that says something about who they are on the inside. The kids are so excited and happy about this.”

trU students head to peru on medical mission

A group of seven stu-dents and a professor from Thompson Rivers University’s Respira-tory Therapy program in

Kamloops are heading to Peru next month on a medical mission.

Second year student Jamie Hooker, who grad-uated from Columneetza Secondary School in Williams Lake, is part of

the delegation. While home for Eas-

ter, Hooker told the Tri-bune the group will be in Peru for two weeks. They’ll spend time in the jungle, time in higher el-evations such as Machu

Picchu, and at a univer-sity in Lima.

“The itinerary isn’t set in stone yet, but we will be taking a bunch of our respiratory equipment there, and we’ll teach people how to use it,” Hooker said.

In rural areas, the students will conduct baseline assessments for blood pressure, heart rates, and do basic checkups.

“Some people in those communities don’t even see a doctor once a year, so it’s going to be a re-warding experience,” Hooker said. A student who attended last year’s Peru trip told Hooker in one day they did more than 400 assessments.

Lynn MacIsaac-Bea-ton, a clinical educator at B.C. Children’s Hospital, is also part of the delega-tion.

Part of their stay will be in a monastery, as well as in hotels. The doctor who has invited the group feels obligated to cover their costs, however, the group wants to be able to cover some costs and so

far has raised $14,569 of a $21,000 goal.

“We have one girl who works at a pub in Ka-mloops and she’s done steak dinners with raf-fles. We’ve had support of the Kamloops Blazers hockey team.”

Students in the respira-tory program volunteer at a sleep clinic on the TRU campus and each year there’s a big sleep

conference held there.“We had people who

work in respiratory ther-apy who attended the conference donate equip-ment. It’s been really great,” Hooker said.

So far 20 breathing machines for sleep ap-nea have been donated from companies, along with equipment from BC Children’s Hospital.

They are also bringing

carbon monoxide moni-tors for people’s homes.

Hooker first heard about the respiratory pro-gram from the reception-ist at her family dentist’s office when she was still in high school.

“I did some work ex-perience with the respi-ratory therapist at our hospital and knew right away it was what I want-ed to go into.”

“They call the Cariboo home”Williams Lake Honda: 25 years in the business

CHANGE FOR THE BETTERin the CARIBOO

It’s no small feat to run a busi-ness successfully for 25 years.

And the secret, at least for Wil-liams Lake Honda owners Nancy and Ryan Watt, is to keep a tight-knit group of family and friends around to help out.

“We work and play together. And most of the time we get along,” Nancy joked.

Nancy and Ryan’s son, Mitch-ell Watt, 22, works as a partsman and in sales at the shop.

Margaret Vanderburg has been with Williams Lake Honda for 17 years working as an accountant and bookkeeper.

And family friend Wade De-lainey heads up the service and repair shop and is a red seal me-chanic.

Local high school student Jevin Weinert comes after school a few times during the week to help out around the shop, also.

Nancy and Ryan’s other two children, Brody and Mackenzie, have also spent time working at the shop in the past. Brody cur-rently works as a partsman and salesman at Carter Motorsports in Vancouver. Mackenzie is current-ly in her third year of landscape design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

Nancy said buying the business 25 years ago was a big change for the family. She’d been work-ing in Williams Lake as a graphic designer, while Ryan was an elec-trician.

When Ryan was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis he decided a career change was in order. But he still wanted to be in a field he’d enjoy just as much as his previous career.

“People change careers, and he always liked that little shop [the old Williams Lake Honda on

Broadway Avenue] and Honda bikes,” Nancy said. “Ryan went in there one day — he’d always liked to tinker and fiddle with stuff — and he asked the guy to please call him if he ever decided to sell.”

The family bought the business in 1988 and stayed in the original building for five years. As they grew they moved to a location beside Chuck’s Auto, where they stayed for 10 years, before buying the current storefront on South Lakeside Drive.

Williams Lake Honda provides full sales and service of Honda and KTM motorbikes, ATVs and power equipment and has a fully-equipped solar and marine shop. And, they provide repairs to all of the products they sell right at the store.

“Ryan and his friend Kent Bernier — he owns the building with us with his truck shop com-

pany Bernier Holdings — they’d meet just about every night at our house and talk about how they could buy this building and add on,” Nancy said. “So they filled that whole parking lot in and we went from there.”

Originally, Nancy said she wasn’t very involved with the business.

“I was working as a graphic designer and then we bought the shop and had kids, so I quit my job and just kind of started hang-ing around,” she said. “We had three kids so I wasn’t around a lot, but I did what I could until the kids got older.

“It was pretty crazy because it was a man’s place. When we first got it I started out doing the books and, obviously, we grew so we needed a bookkeeper, a proper one, so Margaret came. I’d fill in for her when she was on holidays. It was pretty casual, but now I’m

here every day. I couldn’t even sell a spark plug before.”

Ryan said they’re proud to of-fer good customer service in a friendly environment.

“Service is very important to us,” Ryan said. “We can get just about anything you see online here, and we can be more selec-tive at a good price.”

Mitchell, an avid motocross racer, added he’s always enjoyed working for the family business, and said he gets to work in a field he enjoys.

“It’s been fun,” he said. “You get to be close to the family and it’s awesome working around here, too, because I get to work and play.”

Delainey, too, added it’s a great family to work for, and said he en-joys the work he does.

“I’ve been here eight years,” he said. “It’s good working here. We have a lot of good times and

we’ve been family friends for as long as I can remember.”

“I figure if Wade can’t fix it it’s unfixable,” Nancy added.

This Saturday, April 27, Wil-liams Lake Honda will celebrate its 25th anniversary at its store-front, located at 1065 South Lake-side Drive.

Staff at Williams Lake Honda will be hosting a barbecue, demos and door prizes, with all of the proceeds going to Cariboo Search and Rescue.

“Stop by, have a burger, and help out search and rescue,” Nan-cy said.

The barbecue gets underway at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m.

“The barbecue will be by dona-tion and all the proceeds are going to them.”

Hearing loss is often an unseen and misun-derstood disability that affects millions of Ca-nadians directly and in-directly every day, many of whom suffer the lone-liness in silence.

It does not have to be that way and every-one can help those with hearing loss by knowing the signs of hearing loss and acting with compas-sion.

Look for signs of a hearing loss:

• TV/radio turned up to loud

• Misunderstanding what others have said

• Asking others to re-peat what was said

• Person speaks very loudly; complains oth-ers mumble; no longer enjoys lifetime interest

such as cards or church etc.

• Person may become very negative toward others and may actually believe people are whis-pering and talking about them.

• Person changes the subject back to some-thing they know and does not wish to discuss another topic. This puts the hard of hearing per-son in control of the con-versation and it makes it easier for them to follow along and not answer something out of place.

• Person sits in the corner at family gather-ings. They wish to be included but do not wish to participate in conver-sation for fear of hearing something wrong and speaking incorrectly

• Person leaves events early, often complain-ing of headaches or be-ing overtired. Having a hearing loss is very stressful and a hearing impaired person is often exhausted when at an event simply trying to hear and be included in the occasion.

• Person has others order for them at restau-rants; says they will have what the other person is having; does not wish to interact with a stranger (wait staff) and fears be-ing misunderstood

• Person does not an-swer the phone, often times standing by the phone watching the call display but will not pick up, choosing instead to just pay you a visit or call you back so they are

in more control of the situation.

What can you do?

Be understanding and supportive! Hearing loss is not a function of the brain, lack of education or even selected hearing. It’s a real emotionally draining and stress full disability, understanding and support go a long, long way.

Talk to your loved ones. Help them under-stand their loss. Have their loss diagnosed properly with a complete hearing test which could take up to one hour in duration including any medical concerns that need to be forwarded to family physician or spe-cialist.

Look into amplifi-cation and/or assis-tive listening devices (ALD’s) such as ampli-fied phones, Bluetooth devices for television, flashing fire alarms and doorbell monitors, spe-cial phone answering machines etc.

Position yourself for speaking to a hard of hearing person. Stand in front of them, face them.

They may rely on lip reading so do not cover your mouth, chew gum or place yourself in front of a window or in front of lighting as this creates a glare which makes it difficult for the hard of hearing person for lip reading.

Facial hair such as beards and moustaches do limit a person’s lip reading ability even if trimmed properly.

Simply clean your loved one’s glasses so they can lip read more easily.

Speak clearly and slowly, do not yell. Too much loudness makes speech intelligibility poorer and can actually be painful.

Use a whiteboard and eraser. A thick tip mark-er and printing not writ-ing is easiest to read.

Ask open ended ques-tions as questions that require yes and no can easily be taken out of context and create con-fusion.

If you asked the same question in the exact same wording twice and the hard of hear-ing person still does

not understand, change your wording in your sentence. There is obvi-ously something you are accenting or pronounc-ing that is unclear to that person and saying the same sentence 10 times will not help!

Simply call them by name a brief millisec-ond before you start to speak. This will not im-prove your loved ones hearing but it will focus their concentration on you and therefore may help them hear you.

Keep the noise in a room or vehicle, such as radios and televisions to a bare minimum when carrying on a conver-sation in order to have your voice the signal of interest and easier to un-derstand.

Speak to younger members of the family such as a hard of hear-ing persons grandchil-dren and explain the situation to them and instruct them on the best ways to help grandma and grandpa understand them.

Grandparents want and need to be included in their grandchildren’s

lives and grandchildren want and need their grandparent’s approval on their life’s trials and tribulations!

Last thoughtsA hearing impaired

person can still sustain further damage to the hearing organs during lawn mowing, power tool operation etc. It is very important for everyone from young children at the racetrack to the elderly mowing the lawn to wear correct hearing protection when needed. Any noise level over 85 dB can cause hearing loss if exposure is for extended periods of time.

Some basic noise lev-els: welding, 94 dBA; leaf blowing up to 115 dBA; woodworking 86 dBA; hedge trimming 95 dBA; groundskeep-ing, 93 dBA; chainsaw, 113 dBA; electric drill, 94 dBA; shotguns, 147-149 dBA; motorcycles, 80-115 dBA; video arcade, 80-110-dBA; balloon pop, 157 dBA; sporting event, 95-110-dBA.

Pay it Forward todayand every other day

Today, April 25, is Pay it Forward Day in B.C., but there is no reason people can’t practice acts of kindness any day of the year, says Darlene Doskoch, Ca-nadian co-ordinator for the Pay it Forward Day movement.

“Pay It Forward is encouraged every day,” Doskoch says. “Pay It Forward Day is just a reminder to start each year with a new level of giving.”

The vision for Pay it Forward International is to give people the opportunity to give to others — particularly those less fortunate than themselves.

One good deed might not seem like much, but if everyone did some-thing good for someone else, then the chain of generosity would uplift our society into a whole new echelon of caring.

“There is no limit to the different kinds of acts that can happen,” Doskoch says.

“It does not have to cost you anything, it can be as simple or as com-plicated as you wish. There are never limita-tions on acts of kind-ness!”

Doskoch says there have been lots of exam-ples of paying it forward in Williams Lake.

“Buying coffee for the person behind them in the Tim Hortons line up, raking peoples yards, sweeping their carports, handing out flowers to strangers, let-ting a person go ahead of them in the line, holding the door open for someone, bringing fruit platters to an of-fice building, handing out gifts on the street,” Doskoch says. “These are all things that have actually happened in Williams Lake.”

In February, Doskoch says word was received that for the second year in a row, April 25 has been proclaimed as Pay it Forward Day, a day inspired by Catherine Ryan Hyde’s novel and the Warner Broth-ers’ movie by the same name, which involves people doing three good deeds for others without

expecting anything in return in order to foster an increased sense of community.

Recipients of a good deed are encouraged to Pay It Forward to some-one else.

Pay It Forward Day was started in Australia in 2007 by Blake Beat-tie and has now spread to over 70 countries in-cluding Canada.

Doskoch founded Pay It Forward Day Canada in 2009 after being con-tacted by Beattie to join as a national co-ordina-tor for Canada.

Her name was put forward as the Cana-dian co-ordinator as the result of her work to bring Challenge Day, anti-bulling events to Williams Lake students.

Doskoch says nine provinces are hosting Pay It Forward Day events this year. In Wil-liams Lake she says they

will have an information booth set up at Save-On-Foods today from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and free hot dogs and water, and likely free hugs for those who need one, something Doskoch also believes in.

“It has been an amaz-ing journey,” Doskoch says of becoming the Pay It Forward co-ordinator for Canada. “When I started volun-teering with Pay It For-ward Day International, I never dreamed that it would grow as fast and as vast as it has.

“Kindness has no bar-riers, it’s just about the selfless act of doing something for someone without the expectation of something in return. The reality is, that it re-ally feels good!”

For more information on Pay it Forward Day, visit www.payitfor-wardday.com.

Gaeil Farrar photoWhen Darlene Doskoch (right) gave up her photography business last year to concentrate on completing her university degree, her job with the Canadian Mental Health Association, and volunteering as the Canadian co-ordinator for Pay it Forward, she gave away all of her photographs in random acts of kindness. Some photographs she gave away anonymously to people she thought might enjoy them, but this one of a young colt in the Chilcotin she gave to her friend Sue Lachance who fell in love with the photograph while it was hanging in her restaurant, New World Coffee and Tea House, for a while last year.
