Pinnacle Pellet gets new cyclone Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer

Inside the Tribune NEWS Marathoners grateful.

VOL. 83. No. 32

A new stainless steel cyclone was installed at Pinnace Pellet Tuesday.

Pinnacle Pellet in Williams Lake just got a lot heavier. On April 16, a new 28,000-pound stainless steel cyclone was installed at the plant on Lakeside Drive. “It will make the system more efficient,” plant manager Ron Myhre said. “It’s a different style and it’s taller.” This will be the second time the cyclone has been replaced. It’s anticipated the new hardware will be better at separating the sawdust particles inside it. “The new cyclone changes the geometry of the inlet,” Myhre said. A 130-ton crane and 22 certified sheet metal operators travelled to Williams Lake for the installation. “We shut the plant down at 12:30 a.m Tuesday morning and started preparing, then the sheet metal guys began dismantling the old cyclone at 7 a.m.,” Myhre explained. The new cyclone was installed around 2 p.m. and it was expected to be in operation by midnight. The cyclone was fabricated by Allnorth Engineering in Prince George, who worked with Air-Tech in Kelowna to build it and all the ducting. “It arrived by truck Monday evening,” Myhre said. “It’s a very expensive investment as people who see the stainless steel will know.” The new cyclone is part of an overall “fugitive dust” plan, that will include manufacturing a compound for fugitive and migratory dust. “We’re also going to plant trees along the edge of our property on the backside of Canadian Tire,” Myhre said.

RCMP seek information about assault suspect

PM 0040785583

The RCMP are looking for witnesses who may know Robert Fagg of Williams Lake after he was held in police custody in Smithers and charged with assault, uttering threats, and forcible confinement against a 26-year-old victim. The victim was rescued on April 8 after she reached out for help through a text message to a friend. North District 9-1-1 operators and Smithers RCMP were able to locate the suspect and his victim after their cell phones were pinged

and they were able to identify the transport truck he was driving, RCMP North District media relations officer Const. Lesley Smith said. The victim was rescued within 90 minutes of texting for help due to investigational skills and teamwork displayed by the RCMP and North District Operations Communications Centre. While in Smithers provincial court on April 16, Fagg was also charged with assault, forcible confinement and uttering

threats against another female victim stemming from several incidents which occurred in Williams Lake between Dec. 1, 2012 and Jan. 1, 2013. His next court appearance is set for May 10, 2013. RCMP are looking for any witnesses or anyone who could assist with this on going investigation. Fagg was known to meet women on the popular social website called “Plenty-o-Fish.” Police would like to speak with anyone who has contacted Fagg on the website or had a past encounter or

relationship with him. “I am unable to speak further on any details on the second set of charges, but we’re looking for witnesses to come forward who know him,” Smith said. Anyone with information about this investigation or any situation with similar circumstances, are asked to contact the Smithers RCMP at (250) 847-3233 or to remain anonymous please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

NEWS Locals at Boston Marathon missed blasts Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer A Williams Lake runner racing in the Boston Marathon said everyone he was travelling with was safe after two bombs went off near the finish line Monday. Sheldon Manchur, 28, and his girlfriend Shelby Moon, 23, were participants in the marathon. “We’re all good,” he said. “We’re real good. We were already back at

Sheldon Manchur

the place we were staying at when everything went down, but it’s pretty

crazy. Luckily we didn’t get to see anything so we’ve just been watching everything on the news.” Shelby raced the day prior in the five-kilometre event, while Sheldon took part in the marathon Monday. The pair were travelling with Sheldon’s parents Fred and Monica Manchur and Shelby’s dad, Gord, and stepmother Cindy Moon. The blasts killed at least three people and

sent hundreds more to hospital to be treated for injuries in what’s being called the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil since the 9/11 bombings. Sheldon’s time of two hours, 46 minutes and 28 seconds — good for 546th overall in the marathon — put him across the finish line roughly an hour before the explosions. Sheldon said Monday it was an eerily quiet scene in Boston that af-

ternoon, and added they didn’t see the explosions take place. He said police were telling people on the streets to stay indoors. “Everybody’s left the streets,” he said. “We were outside about an hour ago [Monday] and it’s dead out there. Everyone’s been told to go home and stay indoors, the subway’s all shut down and police are just telling people to go home.”

Charges pending following grocery theft The RCMP said they received 65 calls for service over the weekend, the majority of them on April 13 as follows. Police responded to a complaint at 6:18 p.m. April 13 that a shoplifter had just walked out of Safeway carrying a recycle bag with stolen groceries. The suspect was located walking in the alley between Third and Fourth Avenue South. Police informed him he was under

arrest for theft at which time the perpetrator became very agitated and started to move away from the arresting police officer. The perpetrator would not listen to any commands and started fighting as soon as police attempted to arrest him. Despite the perpetrator’s resistance he was taken into custody. Further investigation revealed that the perpetrator was under the influ-

ence of crack cocaine and was found in possession of a quantity of crack cocaine, pipes, and marijuana. Charges are pending. *** At approximately 11:07 p.m. on April 13 the RCMP received a request to assist the fire department with a fire in an apartment unit at 655 Borland St. Police attended immediately and upon attendance observed a third- floor apartment filled with smoke.

Police were able to clear the building and account for the tenants while firefighters tended the fire. Witnesses noticed smoke and had observed a burning couch. At the time of the fire the apartment was unoccupied. One of the witnesses who discovered the fire emptied two fire extinguishers on the couch before leaving the building. The fire appears to have been started either by a cigarette or some type of drug paraphernalia being dropped between the couch cushions and the arm on the couch. The fire does not appear suspicious at all and all other tenants were able to return to their units. *** Police responded to a report of a disturbance outside the Diamonds and Dust Bar at 2:30 a.m. April 13. Upon attendance police located a female bleeding from the nose. She stated that she had been punched in the face by an unknown person. Emergency Health Services attended to assist the injured female. No suspects were identified. *** Williams Lake RCMP were called to a report April 13 of a man standing in the middle of Pine Street with an axe at 5:32 p.m. It was reported he

hike for hunger Photo submitted

Members of youth groups made a hike around the city on Saturday to raise awareness about hunger in Williams Lake and teach children about the plight of people living on small incomes who have to walk or take a bus to get the food they need. The Hike For Hunger stopped at several grocery stores along the way picking up participants at each place. It wound up at the Salvation Army with donations for the food bank.

had a bloody face and was seen arguing with a female. Police attended and located the male and female both standing in a driveway on Third Avenue North. The male was arrested for breaching his no-contact condition with the female. He was also under court imposed conditions not to be in possession of weapons. *** Police were called to Save On Foods at 4:42 p.m. April 13 because a male in breach of his release conditions from court was inside the store. Police spoke with security personnel who said they observed a male inside the store walking around, looking at magazines and other items before leaving out the front without purchasing any items. Currently the male is under conditions that do not allow him inside any business in Williams Lake without a pre-approved supervisor to accompany him. While no theft had occurred, the male was later arrested by police and informed he was being arrested for breach. As he was being arrested, however, he fled from police. A brief foot pursuit ensued, resulting in the male being taken into custody. He is currently being held for court.

Cariboo Chilcotin campaign offices open with anticipation Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer With around 60 Liberal supporters in attendance, a live band and appetizers, Cariboo-Chilcotin Liberal candidate Donna Barnett opened her Williams Lake campaign office Monday. “We need to win,” Donna said. “That is our main objective. We’re going to run a positive campaign, but I will tell you this much, when the attacks come, I will bring facts.” The election, she added, is about the CaribooChilcotin and the good work the Liberals have done. “It’s about the strength of me being a mouth piece in Victoria to get the job done.” There will be 28 days of hard work for her team. “We cannot afford to go backwards and we cannot afford to lose Prosperity Mine, which we will lose if Charlie Wyse gets elected. He has made it clear.” She said she’s pleased to be working on behalf of the ranching community and was able to get a “few things done,” but there’s more work to be done. “We’ve also got a university over here that I’ve worked with for the last three and a half years to grow and expand and we have to keep it growing. It’s an economy all on its own.” Alluding the role of tourism in the region, Donna said it’s important to keep paving highways. “Under the NDP we never got any pavement.” She said while the province’s forests have a good life, B.C. has to take care of the health of the forest because “unfortunately” the mountain pine beetle has had an impact. “We now have to be positive and move forward and watch it grow.” “The next 28 days will be full of fun, hard work

and energy.” Donna’s campaign office is located in the same building her constituency office was in the 300 block of Oliver Street. Local NDP supporters, many dressed in orange, gathered Tuesday for the official opening of the NDP campaign office in Williams Lake. Shared by Cariboo North candidate Duncan Barnett and Cariboo Chilcotin candidate Charlie Wyse, the office is located in the Town Centre Mall in the 100 block of Second Avenue North. “We are looking forward to having fun and winning this election, one practical step at a time,” Duncan said. “Yesterday we had Norm MacDonald with us. He went over the forestry platform and I was sure happy to see what’s in that.” The forestry plan is going to be great for Williams Lake, Quesnel, and surrounding communities that rely on the forest industry, Duncan said. “Not only forestry, but all our other resource industries, and the people, that’s the most important part. The people who work in those industries because people are our number one resource and I know this government is going to put people first with education, health care and respect for working people,” Duncan added. Wyse started off with a “me too,” referring to Duncan’s comments, and told supporters there is going to be change for the better with their efforts. “Duncan and I are absolutely so pleased to be the bearers of your values and it’s with your efforts that we are going to have a change. We will have a government with Adrian Dix and the NDP that look after all British Columbians,” Wyse said. Dustin Price has been confirmed by the Green Party of B.C. and Elections B.C. as the can-

didate for the CaribooChilcotin. Price has lived in the Cariboo region for more than 20 years and has strong family roots in the area. He currently works in the forest industry and volunteers with the 100 Mile House Minor Hockey Association, Youth Zone, and operates as a mentor to young athletes in the region. Dustin’s major focus is in involving everybody in the decision making process, including youth. He believes in fighting for the establishment of a strong, diversified, stable community and regional economy while being environmentally and socially responsible, his campaign manager noted in a press release. Dustin is looking forward to meeting as many people in the region as possible while hearing about the concerns and issues that are important to them. At his home in Lac La Hache Sunday, CaribooChilcotin Independent candidate Gary Young cut the ribbon to open his home-based campaign office. Young has lived in the community of Lac La Hache for eight years and said he’s excited about running as an independent. “I tell people they have a choice and a voice with me. With the difference that I can speak up for them in Victoria, where others can’t. I also offer something different from the Liberals and the NDP,” he said. Young was putting signs up in Williams Lake Tuesday, along with his financial agent, and said he received positive feedback from people. “If people want to get ahold of me, they can call me at home 250-396-4403. Even when I’m elected people can call me at home.” His website is www.garycan.com. People are welcome to e-mail him at vote4me@Garycan.com.

Special to The Tribune Students, instructors and mentors were celebrated last week at an Honouring the Journey event at Sugarcane, representing a partnership between the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council (NSTC) and Thompson Rivers University, and hosted by the Williams Lake Indian Band. A total of 75 students completed the Shuswap language, Microsoft computer certificate and university prep programs, offered in conjunction with TRU and Simon Fraser University. These students were honoured at the event, as well as 14 residents who participated in the Shuswap learning program, which was a partnership between NSTC and the City of Williams Lake. Also acknowledged at the ceremony were the Cariboo Chilcotin Aboriginal Training Employment Centre Society (CDATEC) early childhood education students, as well as mentors, instructors and education workers. Present at the event were leaders and representatives from the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council, Spi7uy Language and Culture Society, Thompson Rivers University, Williams Lake Indian Band and School District 27. Virginia Gilbert and the Alkali Lake drummers and singers shared a welcoming song with

the audience, and Lennard Supernault from Sugarcane performed a thank you song. MCs for the day were Phyllis Webstad and Irene Gilbert, with Jean William providing a prayer. Lunch was catered by True Food Services. Williams Lake Indian Band Councillor and education manager Heather Mackenzie stated how much the band appreciates their partnerships with organizations like TRU. “I define myself as a champion of education and I take it very seriously,” Mackenzie said. “I personally wish every student every success in their educational pursuits.” A special thank you was given to Julie Browser from Continuing Studies at TRU for her tireless and determined support of students from Shuswap communities. “I want to say a special thank you to Ray Sanders from TRU for developing courses that reflect and respect our First Nations culture,” said NSTC executive director Yvonne Smith. “It’s important that

TRU director Ray Sanders said that, with all the partnerships on campus at TRU Williams

Lake, the most important is entering the current agreement with NSTC. “We’re in the peoplechanging business,” he explained. “Helping people have better lives. “Education is power and we’ll continue to grow in our efforts to support this agreement. This is only the beginning.” Northern Shuswap Tribal Council Chair Chief Mike Archie said: “Growing up in our culture we have a lot of trials and tribulations. It’s

important to develop and study our language. Our language identifies us as a people. Our num-

Lumber prices predicted to be on the rise

reat news — lumber prices are up. Prices are currently just over $400 per board foot, and last year at this time they were just under $300. This compared to just under $200 in 2009. This parallels statements I heard at the Council of Forest Industries Convention in Prince George that I From the recently Mayor’s attended. Chair This Kerry Cook was the f i r s t COFI convention held in the last five years, signifying that the worst is behind us. Forest industry representatives think lumber prices could go as high as $500 to $600 a board foot in a “super cycle,” predicted to take place in the next few years. This is all good news for our forest industry and our local economy. As we work though the budget and five-year financial plan, one thing I want to highlight is our continued commitment to smart, strategic long-term planning. It’s this planning that will allow us to complete the South Lakeside Drive Project this summer without borrowing. The value of strategic planning can’t be overstated — we’re planning now for our future needs. This is Prevention of Violence Against Women Week. This is a good reminder to stand up against all violence. Abuse takes many forms, and includes bullying, control, and intimidation. We all have a role to play in creating a safe, healthy environment and setting a positive example. I encourage everyone to come out to the Community Forest Open House Monday, April 22 at 7 p.m. at the 150 Fire Hall. There will be an overview presentation on the Community Forest Proposal, and opportunity for all residents to offer input, and to ask questions. We’re there to listen, so please come and have your say! Kerry Cook is the mayor of Williams Lake.

Our Viewpoint

Don’t sit this one out The 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, we say this for every election — to no avail. Last time around, in the 2009 provincial election, only about 50 per cent of voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will things be any different this year? It’s hard to say. Is it negative advertising that turns people off? BC NDP leader Adrian Dix says so and has promised a more positive campaign. But will that end indifference or will people turn away from boredom. Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. BC Liberal leader Christy Clark has tried to be a populist (pandering?) premier, appealing to the hockey mom vote, but has failed to attract women’s sup-

port, pundits say. Why? Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. Clearly there is a disconnect and the media may have contributed to this malaise by blowing every little incident out of proportion. As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, many voters simply tune out after a while, yet, sadly, when there is a real issue, such as lack of funding for transit, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special interest groups — business, unions, lobbyists — to hijack the results. The truth is that politicians will only be accountable if we hold them accountable. We have a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised so voters need to pay attention to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are. - Black Press

his is the busiest week of April in Willie’s Puddle as we host two annual events; the Williams Lake Bull Show and Sale (76th) and the WL Indoor Rodeo (23rd) — both (unapologetically) uniquely western in nature. The influx begins early in the week as the breeders truck their bulls in to the BC Livestock yards to a Bull Show/ Sale that is well respected/regarded as one of the premier events of its type in Western Canada. The buyers flock to the Cariboo from all-over Western Cattle Canada, Fodder hoping Liz Twan to place the topbid on the bull(s) that fits their (customized) breeding programs. For many, a working-holiday in which they also try to socialize or take a mini-country-tour (to a local ranch-we often host fellow-cattlemen) in addition to enjoying all the lakecity offers (accommodation, dining and shopping). Harbour no illusions, however, these visitors are not here primarily to experience our cultural diversity — they have come-strictly for the bull. The rest is extraneous fluff. Indoor Rodeo action kicks off on Friday evening and features include; daily rodeo action, West Coast Thunder Drill Team, Young Gunz Trick Riders, BC Cowboy Hall of Fame 2013 induction-ceremonies (Sunday) and more. It’s yet another (unashamedly) western event which draws large numbers (visitors) to our community. Reader-awareness of my (personal) leanings toward all-things western regularly reflected in my writing and photography should make the following thoughts no surprise. I’ve rolled the proposed new tagline — Welcome to the Republic of Life — around in my mind for days now, and while I like to believe I’m open to new ideas — I just can’t buy this one! So I’m going to stand firmly in Ina’s (Boxeur) corner for this bout. Round by round, we need to celebrate our western heritage; it rewards us with a knockout punch in the ring of life!

More Viewpoints Rail sale polluted lakecity Question of the week Editor: We will be judged by what we do. We are not allowed to talk about the sale of the railroad, or so Christy Clark has declared. So we will talk about what happened after the sale when we the public paid to have the old ties replaced and hauled to Williams Lake town centre to be ground up and sent to the burning plant here in town. We live south of town and when we came within the view from a distance our vision was of a big

cloud of dust over our fair town. A big cloud of yellow dust filled with tiny particles of creosote and tar, the worst kind of dust, a few blocks from a low school. If we went to Jenny’s for Chinese food when we came out our truck was layered with this terrible dust. It all started when Scott Nelson was mayor. I’d be so cross because this dust was loaded with cancer-causing particles of the worst kind. So I phoned the mayors of this town. I contacted several authori-

ties and everyone expressed their agreements. I even contacted our present mayor. I phoned her several times. The last time she told me the grinding company had agreed to shut down their operations. The reason was not concern for the public or school children. The reason was their lease for the property had run out. And my thanks to the railroad who dumped three ugly loads of old ties in my old driveway. Ruby Christenson Lac La Hache

Money could have been better spent Editor: The branding the city and its consulting company have come up with for this city is most appalling to me. A resident should be proud of the city where they live. Don’t forget residents also market the place where they live. I’ve spoken to some longtime residents, the backbone of this city, who have stayed through the hard times and good times and helped build this city. These folks also feel the same as I do. Our city is warm and welcoming to anyone moving here or just passing through. What is wrong with what we have or represent? I am proud of our town at the moment but not if this passes. People move here and work here because this is what they are looking for. I would like to take you back a

few years, just in case you do not remember what is was like after the Second World War. We had families who went to war. Some did not return, so we could live in a free country. The word Republic was a communist word I would hear as a kid, for a town or city run by a communist government. Is this what this town is coming to? There are many other ways of saying who we are; we have been doing that for years. Seems we haven’t done a bad job of it, either. Without a doubt we are the Capital of Western Heritage and Culture. For the branding to say “Republic of Life” does not say anything to me other than the losses we had during the war years. I feel the council, at this point, has insulted our forefathers who lost their lives or health. How can you justify this?

I feel that you and your council have spent tax monies frivolously. This money should have been put towards policing, maintenance of our streets, sidewalks and other repairs this town is in desperate need of. How can you market our city that always seems to be falling apart somewhere and the work that needs to be done is always being set aside because there is no money? Rebranding will not change the way our town looks. Can you honestly justify the spending of an excess of $40,000 on this project? Do we really need or can we afford rebranding at this expense? Rossetta Paxton Williams Lake Editor’s note: A longer version of this letter was sent to mayor and council.

What percentage do tourist activities play in attracting people? Editor: The City of Williams Lake should have determined precisely if changing a brand is really necessary. The first step would have been to take an actual inventory of events that occur in and around the city that currently attract tourists to the city, and greater area. We need to know what percentage tourist interest and activities play in attracting tourists to this area, this would have more clearly identified what percentage western event tourism plays

Letters aLways weLcome

in Williams Lake’s economic pie. Such a study could and should establish tourist interest based on the past, present, and expected future. A marketing study such as this could have clearly identified whether re-branding is necessary. Having established what percentage various events play in the make up of tourist interest in this area, then and only then, if it is found that western events do not play the greater percentage of tourist interest, should re-branding be considered? Without this information the

city’s re-branding process is just wallowing without clear direction and is a waste of taxpayers dollars. Many, including myself, believe that Williams Lake’s true heritage should be a focus on western events. In addition, in the actual marketing of Williams Lake, while mountain biking and constructing log buildings, may not seem as western to some until we study the roots of these activities, the first buildings in Williams Lake were constructed of log, and almost everybody had a horse to get

from place to place. Nemiah’s rodeo still has downhill mountain horse racing and how is that much different than Williams Lake’s mountain biking. Marketing basically depends on the context of how things are presented, what may only seem as slightly western can be sold with good marketing, as a very excitingly western event. I include the surrounding area as part of the Williams Lake destination concept strategy, Nemiah wants to develop tourism in their area, they want to make tourism as their basis for their developing

economy. Current Soda Creek and Sugar Cane events can be part of the Williams Lake destination strategy. By re-branding the city as some sort of modern place to be, are we not in a sense writing these people out of the bigger picture? Lastly, almost every tourist dollar earned in the greater area, eventually funnels back through the economy of Williams Lake. Doug Wilson Williams Lake

OF ROTARY IN B.C.

So what is “Rotary”? How do you describe the organization called “Rotary”? Rotary can be defined in the following way: ”Rotary is an organization of business

and professional persons united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world”. The motto of Rotary is “Service Above Self”. In addition Rotary’s code of conduct is based on the FourWay Test: Of all the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? The first Rotary meeting was held in Chicago on February 23, 1905. Today

there are 34,000 Rotary clubs and 1.2 million members throughout the world. In BC there are 147 Rotary clubs and approximately 6800 members. The first Rotary club in BC was the Vancouver Rotary Club, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. There are two Rotary clubs in Williams Lake, The Rotary Club of Williams Lake and the Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak. The two clubs have a combined membership of approximately 65. The Rotary Club of Williams Lake has been opening doors to fellowship and goodwill in our community since June 23, 1964. We have been

involved in numerous projects that serve the community. Some of these include the Scout Island Park Project, the Williams Lake River Valley Trail, The Boitanio Park Picnic Shelter and our major Literacy project the Yunesit’in (Stone Band) Literacy Center project. In addition we are partnering with the city to improve Boitanio Park, we provide student bursaries and opportunities for students to go on a one year educational exchange. This past Christmas season was the fourth year for Operation Red Nose. This project provides a way for party-goers to get their car home safely. The funds

raised from this project go to help local kids’ sports organizations. Rotary clubs are made up of business and professional people from all trades and walks of life who share an understanding that service to our community comes above self-interest. For more information about our projects or about becoming a member, contact your local Rotarian or Guenter Weckerle, President, Rotary Club of Williams Lake 2012-2013, at 250-267-1064 or guenter.weckerle@gmail. com Guenter Weckerle President Rotary Club of Williams Lake

OF ROTARY IN B.C.

Today we are celebrating Rotarians. 2013 is a big year in the Rotary World. On April 22 we celebrate 100 Years of Rotary in BC. Are you aware there are two Rotary Clubs in Williams Lake? On these pages are the Rotarians of Williams Lake from the two

Clubs. They are your neighbours, friends and the business people you deal with regularly. Are you aware of all the things Rotary and our Rotarians have done in Williams Lake? For much of Rotary’s history, our service activities were whispered instead of shouted from rooftops. The world knows little of our humanitarian and educational programs and even Rotarians are largely unaware of the scope of activities of Rotary worldwide. One way Rotarians are trying to make everyone aware is by wearing a Rotary pin every day. In the words of RI President Tanaka, “The Rotary pin is always on my lapel. It is there because I am proud to be a Rotarian. Anywhere I go; people will see the pin and know who I am. Other Rotarians will see it and know that I am a friend, and

people who are not Rotarians will see it as well. I want to be sure that all of them also understand the meaning of this pin.” The next time you see a friend, businessperson or even someone you don’t know wearing a Rotary pin, ask them about it. Rotary is one of the largest fundraising organizations in BC and in the world. There are 1.2 million Rotarians in 34,404 Clubs around the world - all raising funds, helping out where they can and generally making their communities, and communities around the world, better. The Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak (Daybreak Rotary) was chartered on September 5, 1991. Since then our fundraising has focused on three main categories: Youth, Elderly and Literacy. Daybreak Rotary raises money

for projects in several different ways. Our Used Book Sales are our biggest fundraisers. We will be having another on in November 2013 upstairs in Boitanio Mall. We had a very successful Book Sale in February but we still have so many books we’ll be doing another one this year. We are always looking for volunteers to help out. This year our Club will be partnering with the Fall Fair to sell the popular Bronco Buttons in May and June. Along with those two main projects we also assist with the Hospital Trust Gala. Money raised at these events help pay for burseries at TRU North and the High Schools, two benches in the new Dog Park, the Library at Toosey and various other worthwhile organizations. Numbers are in for the fight against Polio. Rotary International

undertook the massive task of Polio eradication in 1985 and we’ve had the best year yet. In 2012 there were only 218 Polio cases reported worldwide - 6 from non-endemic countries and 212 from endemic countries. As of January 13, 2013, it had been two years since the last case in India. “We’re This Close” and getting closer every day. If you are interested in learning more about Rotary and what we’re all about, why don’t you join us for breakfast? Daybreak Rotary meets every Tuesday morning at 6:45am in The Hearth Restaurant. Please contact me for more info. Lori Macala, President Rotary Club of Williams Lake Daybreak elmacala@telus.net 250-305-8559

Rotary clubs in BC raise $8.5 million for charity

Rotary clubs in British Columbia raised $8.5 million for charitable work in their communities and for international humanitarian work in 2012 a new report states. For the first time a survey was conducted of the 147 Rotary clubs in the province to estimate the total amount of money received in one year for community projects and humanitarian work. Rotary clubs are semiautonomous therefore do not generally report their fundraising. The author of the report, Chris Offer, from Delta stated, “I knew the amount raised by clubs was high but never thought that would reach $8.5 million. This report demonstrates the often unreported impact of volunteer fundraising in our

OF ROTARY IN B.C.

communities.” Locally a Rotary club is a small philanthropic organization that contributes to a variety of local and international community humanitarian and educational projects. Provincially at $8.5 million Rotary is in the top tier of charities in BC. Globally Rotary raises conceivably $1.5 billion every year in the nearly 33,000 Rotary clubs in 200 countries and geographic areas. This makes Rotary one of the world’s largest charities. Rotary District Governor Rebecca MacPherson, from Quesnel stated, “I am always impressed by the work done by Rotary clubs in their communities. The dollars raised is only part of the impact they make. Every project is leveraged with numerous hours of volunteer

time, sometimes hundreds of hours.” The study illustrates the impact of charitable fundraising done by groups that are not registered charities and do not issue income tax receipts. Offer stated, “Charity in recent years has been controlled

by the large professional charities. We forget about the numerous volunteer groups that raise funds with raffles, 50-50 draws, dinners and auctions. Groups that do not issue tax receipts are not counted in official statistics.” The Rotary clubs in BC do not use paid fundraisers or

have any paid staff. Therefore the administration costs are very low, possibly below 2 or 3 per cent. Rotary clubs do conduct financial reviews of their fundraising and follow guidelines regarding reporting to their membership.

It’s always a crazy scene during the wild horse race (pictured above), when cowboys and cowgirls attempt to saddle and ride a normally unamused horse. It all gets underway this Friday at 6 p.m. when the 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo rolls into town. Two more rodeo performances follow Saturday and Sunday, both beginning at 1 p.m. Tickets are still available at the Williams Lake Rodeo office, located on the upper level of Boitanio Mall.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Friday, April 19 to Sunday, April 21 Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo

It’s that time of year again — the dirt will be hauled into the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex for 23rd Annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo. There’s no stop in the action throughout the weekend as rodeo performances, opening acts, special guests, vendors, bands and a dance help round out the weekend’s festivities. Stop by the rodeo office in the upper level of the Boitanio Mall to pick up your rodeo tickets, barn dance tickets, and check out the merchandise.

Indoor rodeo starts Friday

Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association Pitching Clinics

Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer

Every Wednesday, the Williams Lake Minor Fastball Association will host a pitching clinic for all interested players at Mountview Elementary School. The clinics go from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and will be coached by Tim Horsely. It will be a fast-pitch style of pitching. The cost is free, and registration for the upcoming season will be open during the event.

As the first stop on the 2013 BC Rodeo Association circuit, the 23rd annual Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo promises to attract hundreds of rodeo competitors to the lakecity this weekend. Gwen Cyr, Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo director, said they’re expecting three back to back sellouts when the rodeo kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, then resumes for two more rodeo performances at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. “The arena holds about 1,100 people, and we’re expecting it to be totally sold out again,” Cyr said. “We’re expecting a strong number of entries. Ticket sales are going really well and there’s lots going on.” New this year, as part of each rodeo performance’s opening act, are the Young Gunz, a youth trick riding group based out of Bonnyville, Alta. “We’ve never had them before,” Cyr said, who also noted some comedic performances, along with the West Coast Thunder Drill Team, will help round out the opening act. “So that’s new and exciting.” Back once again this year is Canadian Pro Rodeo (CPRA) announcer of the year Brett Gardiner — an eight-year veteran in rodeo announcing — along with rodeo clown and barrel man Dennis Halstead.

Pictured here are (from left) Andy Copeland, Norman and Anna Granberg, Doris Todd and Gilbert Walters, last year’s BC Cowboy Hall of Fame inductees. This year’s BC Cowboy Hall of Fame ceremony goes during Sunday’s rodeo performance, which kicks off at 1 p.m. at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Cyr said C+ Rodeos will guarantee to provide stock that will undoubtedly treat fans to an exciting performance. Local Stampede Royalty, special guest Miss Rodeo Canada Gillian Shields, and visiting royalty will also be on hand to help out at the rodeo. During Sunday’s performance Archie Williams (Cache Creek), Larry Ramstad (Gang Ranch), John Dodd (formerly of Riske Creek) and Frank Teer (Houston) will be inducted into the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame. Friday night a local band, the Skid

Marks, will perform a free concert in the beer gardens, located in rink two at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex. Saturday’s barn dance features Quesnel’s Rockin Chair. Cyr said they’re expecting a sold out barn dance, and added tickets are going fast. “Their [Rockin Chair] lead singer was here before with a different band two years ago,” Cyr said. “It’s country rock, and it’s really good music to dance to. And Friday with the Skid Marks, they’ve been before and they’re great.”

Friday night and Saturday night Adventure Charters and the Williams Lake Rugby Football Club will offer safe rides home. Rodeo tickets, barn dance tickets and indoor rodeo merchandise are still on sale at the Williams Lake Indoor Rodeo office on the upper level of Boitanio Mall. Or, for more information, call the rodeo office at 250-398-3334. “We’re looking forward to a great weekend,” Cyr said. “I think everybody’s ready to get out of their houses to do some rodeoing and some barn dancing.”

Registration is now open for the Williams Lake Ladies Soccer Association outdoor season. The season begins in May and stretches through until October. Registration is $90 until April 30, when the cost is $110. Online registration is available at http://zone4.ca/register. asp?id=4674. Paper registration forms are available at Caribou Ski Source for Sports. Completed forms and cash, cheques will be collected at the Caribou Ski Source for Sports cashier desk.

Judo club to host third annual Throw-A-Thon Greg Sabatino Tribune Staff Writer If you’ve never been thrown (or the one throwing) on your back repeatedly for five consecutive minutes, Williams Lake Judo Club Sensei Jeff DiMarco

can help describe what it feels like. “It’s super tiring to go for five minutes straight,” said DiMarco who, along with his students at the WLJC, will host the third annual WLJC ThrowA-Thon this Monday,

April 22, at the club, located at 360B on North Mackenzie Avenue. “The first year I did it I had a sore back before, and I woke up the next morning after that and my back felt great. It obviously slammed some things

back into place. “Last year was a bit harder. You’ve really got to pace yourself because five minutes wears on you if you’re going hard.” The club hosts the Throw-A-Thon as its annual fundraiser to

help them get through the summer months when classes aren’t scheduled. “Basically our members go out and collect pledges,” DiMarco said. “Some get pledges based on how many throws they do and

others collect donations.” He added the club, as a whole, hopes to achieve between 400 and 500 throws between its junior and senior members. DiMarco invites anyone interested to

attend the event, which gets underway at 6:15 p.m. “It’s going to be a workout, too,” he said. For more information or, to donate to the Throw-A-Thon, contact DiMarco at jcmga@xplornet.com.

The Great Room is a sacred space for a group of women dealing with physical, emotional, sexual and physiological abuse in a safe environment. After volunteering at similar safe spaces for women, mostly human traffickers through Linwood House Ministries in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Kennedy felt inspired to open something similar in Williams Lake. “The women there encouraged me to open up something here, instead of me going down there all the time and helping.” The Salvation Army provided her a space at the beginning, but it was always her plan to find my own location, Kennedy said. “I outgrew the room and the drop-in,” Kennedy said.

Tattoo artist Danrae Latin is donating half the proceeds from butterfly tattoos she creates on April 22 and 23 to “The Great Room,” in Williams Lake. Latin, who owns and operates Exposed Expressions, said she was moved to hold the fundraiser because she’s impressed with the efforts of Dina Kennedy who runs the Great Room in Williams Lake. Kenny first opened the Great Room in the basement of the Salvation Army on Nov. 2, 2011. She has now secured a new space in the 160 block of Oliver Street. The space will have its grand opening on April 24. “She’s pretty inspir-

ing,” Latin said of Kennedy. “Even if she wasn’t my friend’s mother, I’d do this. The Great Room is run as a non-profit organization. Everything she does is funded by herself.” By April 10, Latin had 18 bookings for the butterfly tattoos. Some of those coming for a tattoo are getting one for the first time, and one male has booked in. “Everybody’s getting butterflies,” Kennedy said. “They can choose any kind of butterfly, done in black ink, at a size of one and half inches by one and a half inches.” Butterflies were picked because Kennedy uses butterflies for the Great Room’s logo. “Butterflies also mean strength,” Latin said.

Students celebrate the Earth at TRU science event Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer It was a day to celebrate the Earth. A day to be wowed by the enthusiasm and knowledge of young students about science. And, a day to just have fun. In anticipation of Earth Day on April 22, the Cariboo ChilcotinConservation Society and Thompson Rivers University Williams Lake collaborated to fully engage students in an Earth Challenge on April 12 at TRU. Students took tours, visited displays, and participated in experiments. The event ended with four teams competing in a game of water, waste, nature and air Jeopardy. “Invitations went out to all the schools and three signed up,” said Jenny Howell of CCCS. “We gave them a booklet titled Earth Challenge and one of the teachers even used it as part of her curriculum.” For the jeopardy game, two fourperson teams hailed from Nesika, one from Cataline and one from Chilcotin Road elementary schools. Students were asked questions such as how many breaths the average adult takes in a day, where the city gets its drinking water from, which ecosystem the city is in, where are bighorn sheep from and how many hydrogen atoms are in a water molecule? Roy Argue, Fish and Wildlife Manager with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, was the game show host. He told the students he’d gone over some of the questions with his roommates the night before, and they couldn’t answer some of them. They identified birds, insects, and specimens CCCS member Sue Hemphill showed them, they were asked to identify three reasons wetlands are important, and challenged to order household waste by weight. A final question asked the students to identify real actions any kid could take to reduce their own ecological footprint.

Dallas Judd-Rekunyk works with adjudicator Maureen Hollings.

The students of the piano section of the Cariboo Festival just completed a thought provoking week with their adjudicator Maureen Hollins. Hollins is so gifted with communicating, teaching and performing, it was an awesome experience for students to work with her. The art of teaching is so impor-

tant to help students understand how to improve. Hollins really showed such strength in being able to get a wide range of ideas out to students of varying levels. Some students Hollins worked with were in their first year of studies and others had been practicing for a decade or more. The Honours Concert on May 4, 7 pm at Cariboo Bethel will showcase some of the winners from the Piano week of the local Festival.

Two bands and a childrens choir will perform in Williams Lake this week to help raise funds for Operation Smile. The concert takes place April 19 at Cariboo Bethel Church starting at 7 p.m. “We will also have a silent auction to generate funds to help sponsor Operation Smile to do voluntary cleft lip and palate surgeries in third world countries,” says Stefan de Swardt. He says the concert is free but they will accept donations for the cause.

Joyce Gibbs lovingly remembered It is with deep sadness that the family of Joyce Elaine Gibbs announce her passing on Monday, March 25. Joyce was born Feb. 18, 1930 in Brandon, Manitoba. She moved to Vancouver in her mid-teens. Joyce married Dave Gibbs in 1954. Joyce and Dave raised two children in North Vancouver and then in Abbotsford, B.C.

Joyce Gibbs Joyce and Dave retired to Gabriola Island

where Joyce made great friends, and became involved in the many activities the island life provided. Joyce was an extremely active and artistic woman. She loved to sew and often made her children’s clothing. She had a fabulous sense of style which her children truly appreciated. Joyce had a gift for

drawing and painting and enjoyed spending time with her friends in art classes. She was naturally athletic. Over the years she loved to downhill ski, she taught tennis lessons and was the captain of the ladies’ golf club. Joyce was predeceased by her husband, Dave, and her son David.

She leaves to mourn her daughter, Lorraine Levitt (Mike), her grandson Cole Levitt (Allison), her granddaughter Brittany Levitt (Kevin), her granddaughter Tasha Levitt (James) and her greatgrandson Hudson Levitt. This summer Joyce will be returned to the island that she and Dave spent so many happy years.

“They call the Cariboo home” Ryan Oliver returns home for music gigs Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Ryan Oliver made a jubilant return home to Williams Lake last weekend with his five-piece Toronto jazz band The Cookers. They packed the Studio Theatre twice on Friday and Saturday nights, April 12 and 13, then did an afternoon workshop and evening house concert at the home of Rudy Wassenaar on Sunday, April 14, before concluding their Williams Lake tour with an early morning workshop Monday, April 15 with band students at Williams Lake Secondary School. Oliver grew up in Williams Lake and started playing tenor saxophone at 15 years old under the tutelage of Michael Butterfield. He and his group of worldclass jazz musicians, which include Tim Hamel on trumpet, Alex Coleman on stand-up bass, Richard Whiteman on piano, and Joel Haynes on drums, are on a 27-day tour of western Canada. “We’ve played collectively as a band for four years,” Oliver says, “but within the band we’ve been playing together a long time.” When he was 16 Butterfield invited Oliver to play in his Hot Buttered Blues band, and this gave him the chance to solo in front of an audience and build his confidence. “I was probably terrible, I can’t remember. We always made the point to learn the parts and not read them, so I had the chance to blow some solos.” Blowing solos is something Oliver and fellow horn player Tim Hamel did plenty of on stage in Williams Lake. They’ve been playing together for 13 years and it shows. It was uncanny how they married the sound of their two instruments,

The acclaimed Canadian band gave to concerts in Williams Lake. the trumpet and tenor saxophone, like they were bedfellows or birds in flight. “Tim and I play so much music together we know where the other guy is going to be. All these tunes we spend a lot of time running together. You build up trust. We all make mistakes, but you make far fewer mistakes when you don’t worry about it.” When Oliver graduated from high school, Mike Butterfield encouraged Oliver to attend the Malaspina College music program in Nanaimo (now Vancouver Island University). Instead of going for the usual audition, he met the head of the music program at a downtown hotel and was invited to get into a jam session.

As he was getting up to play, Butterfield gave him one last piece of advice. “After it is done, don’t ever forget to tell the rest of the guys in the band how great they sounded.” Oliver says he remembered that as he followed his career to Toronto, Amsterdam, New York and eventually back to Toronto where he lives and plays his saxophone professionally. Slowly but surely he is working on his music doctorate at York University. He says he has found a musical home in the Toronto jazz scene. “I spend time in New York where I go to hear my heroes on stage, but for me Toronto is a place where I can be part of the

scene as opposed to just enjoying it as a listener. In Toronto I’ll play three or four times a week with guys who are some of my favourite musicians.” When Butterfield introduced The Cookers to the Williams Lake audience, he encouraged people to listen to each of the five musicians. “Every person in a jazz band is important,” he said. “Every person is just burning in their own thing. They are all very important and each one contributes to every song.” For Oliver the local support for his music was overwhelming. “It’s a treat to see the support from the community and the people who come out. I saw both my Kindergarten teachers,

BOITANIO PARK

one on Friday night and the other on Saturday. You can’t buy that at Berkeley. Those are the things that are most special.” He says people might come out to his concerts because they know him or his family. “But in the end I hope they leave and say, that’s awesome.” Someone asked Oliver if it was strange for his group to play in a small venue like the Studio Theatre. On the contrary, he said the ambience of that space is special. “In Toronto you’re playing the clubs and it’s kind of a fight. The Studio Theatre is a small room and a soft-seater. The audience is locked in and actually listening to you. This is the chance we get to spread out. You feel more like the artist.” He says Williams Lake is a vibrant musical community, and he is honoured to bring such esteemed musicians to his home town. “They are all topshelf performers.” He says their tour is funded by Canada Council for the Arts to expose the smaller communities to some of the top musicians in Canada. “We’re trying to pass on what we see as the important parts of music.” Oliver says he himself was inspired when Mike Butterfield brought in Ross Taggart to sit in with the blues band. “Ross, who just passed away recently from renal cancer, was a dynamite tenor player. “I was already super passionate about music and ready to go, but the story is, a great musician could connect with the worst kid in the band and something clicks. “That’s the beauty of it. We love passing on the tradition of Canadian jazz musicians. It helps us get back to the roots of why we’re doing what we’re doing.”

APRIL IS DENTAL HEALTH MONTH

Some medications can affect your dental health!

Oral Health Good for Life Maintaining healthy teeth and gums means working closely with your dentist. Regular dental check-ups allow this specialist to detect any problems and take the necessary preventive measures to keep them under control. During a check-up, let your dentist know about any change in the general state of your health. For example, your dental health might be affected if you’re pregnant, if you’ve started taking medications since your last visit, or if you suffer from allergies. Your dentist watches out for signs and symptoms of gum disease, cavities, infections, the wearing down of tooth enamel due to teeth

grinding, and any other problem that could be harmful to your health. A thorough cleaning takes up a major part of a visit to the dentist, but it’s worth every second of your time. Indeed, professional cleaning is vital in the prevention of gum disease, one of the most common problems in adults. Some stains can also be removed during this procedure and the appearance of your teeth improved. During the examination it’s possible that fluoride in the form of a gel or foam will be applied to your teeth in order to help prevent tooth decay. Many modern dental clinics are equipped for tooth

restoration and replacement. If you’re missing one or several teeth, your dentist will offer advice on the best way for you to prevent long term jawbone deterioration and the shifting of teeth. He or she might suggest a bridge, prosthesis, implants, or some other longterm plan for care. Your dentist knows all the different treatments that are available to you and can help you make the right dental care choices. He or she could refer you to a denturist if you need a dental prosthesis, to an orthodontist if you have an anomaly in the positioning or alignment of your teeth or jaw, or to a periodontist if you have a periodontal disease.

Obituaries

Lillian Martha MacKay July 20, 1936 ~ April 13, 2013 Lil passed away early Saturday, April 13 at the age of 76 after suffering a stroke. She is survived by her husband Bill, mother Dora, sister Eileen, son Mick, daughterin-law Remona, daughter Linda, son-in-law Skye and grandchildren Kyle (Sonja), Brandon, Cody, Alix (Andrew), Max (Siobhan) and niece Lori-Ann (Tony). Born in Ituna, Saskatchewan she lived in Winnipeg, Brantford and Toronto before her father moved the family to Burnaby and established a grocery and butcher shop at Sperling and Hastings. Lil attended Capitol Hill School and met Bill after finishing her education at Burnaby High School. They married and enjoyed nights out dancing together at nightclubs in Vancouver and hosting their many friends at their home in East Vancouver. They had two children, Mick and Linda, before emigrating to the USA where Bill continued to work as a sign painter and Lil became a medical steno. In 1965 they returned to Canada and opened a sign shop in Williams Lake which they grew together into the successful business known as Mac Signs. Camping, hunting and fishing were outdoor passions, as were water skiing, snowmobiling and riding trail bikes everywhere in the Cariboo Chilcotin region. Quesnel Lake was a special place for the family and many happy days were spent together on the water, camping on the beaches, with music and laughter filling the evenings around the campfires. Lil was active in the Chamber of Commerce for many years and created the colourful character of Diamond Lil, appearing in the Stampede Parade as the proprietress of the Chamber-sponsored saloon at the Elks Hall. She enjoyed people and was a fun-loving gal who never took life too seriously, believing that the sun was about to shine each day. Her life with Bill was filled with adventure and her children were her pride and joy. Parties with family and friends at the house on North Lakeside, the cabin at Big Lake, and eventually the house at 150 Mile House were always her chance to shine, with goofy wigs, masks, and singing to hit songs bringing out her fun-loving personality. After the kids were out on their own, Lil and Bill traveled to Scotland, Hawaii, Costa Rica and other destinations in the USA and Canada. Lil retired from business in 2010 and spent her last few years caring for Bill who remains in care at Seniors Village in Williams Lake. Only eight weeks ago Lil lost her ability to drive and six weeks ago moved into assisted living at the Seniors Village where she began a new chapter in her life, quickly making a new circle of friends and enthusiastically participating in every social opportunity. She was developing memory loss and was confused at times but took great comfort in continued contact with her family and friends and was excited at the prospect of enjoying her new life. Lil will be missed greatly by all who knew her, and her memory will inspire us to look to the positive, know that the sun is always about to shine, to live and to love with spontaneity and laughter. A Celebration of Lillian’s life will take place on Saturday, April 20, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Compassionate Care Funeral Home, 180 Comer Street, Williams Lake. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in lieu of flowers. Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with arrangements. 250-392-3336

Francis William Phillips

June 14, 1921 ~ March 10, 2013 Frank Phillips, age 91, of Williams Lake, BC, passed away on March 10, 2013 at Deni House. A graveside service took place March 14, 2013. Frank Phillips was born on June 14, 1921 in Ockbrook, near West Hallam, Derbyshire, England. At the age of 6 months, he moved with his parents Gwilym (W.D.) and Lucy (Flint) Phillips, to Deep Lake, near Paradise Valley, Alberta. Here they farmed for several years. In 1926 the family, which now included Frank’s sister Margaret, relocated to Chilliwack, BC. Upon his graduation from Chilliwack High School, Frank studied aeronautical engineering at Aero I.T.I. in Los Angeles, California and continued his education at Noorduyn Aviation in Montreal. During the war he was employed by Boeing in Vancouver and Seattle. On March 4, 1944, Frank married Joy Jones, of Eburne (now Richmond) BC. He joined the Navy and was shipped out to Sydney, Nova Scotia, and served time on the H.M.C.S. Discovery, on Atlantic convoy duty. After the war, Frank and Joy owned and operated two small grocery stores. Following this, Frank worked in the manufacturing of stainless steel machinery in Vancouver, and lived in Burnaby and Pitt Meadows. Frank took early retirement at the age of 50 in 1974 and he and his family moved to White Lake, near Salmon Arm, BC. It wasn’t long before he was approached to run for the Regional District. After election and re-election, Frank spent many years serving the community of Salmon Arm. He was chairman of ColumbiaShuswap Regional District, representing Area C, using his many talents and skills to focus on economic development. Frank was well respected for his contributions in the Shuswap area, and retired from this activity in March 1990, at which time they moved to Felker Lake near Williams Lake. They enjoyed many years at the lake. Recently, they moved into Williams Lake and loved the view from their new home where the chipmunks and the deer were frequent visitors. He was an unassuming man, who worked well with others and was able to bring out the best in people. The poems of Robbie Burns and Robert Service were amongst his favorites. Dad was proud to be a Canadian and he thought that we all owe something to our communities in return for the benefits we receive. He was and avid reader, and a life-long learner. Dad always enjoyed a good conversation and loved discussions, especially around the dinner table. He encouraged us to disagree, to question and to challenge the status quo. Dad was interested in what we were all doing... and more importantly, what we thought! He taught us to believe in ourselves, to stand up for ourselves, and to accept responsibility. Mom and Dad enjoyed their travels to Wales, England and to far off places such as Australia, New Zealand and Irian Jaya, New Guinea. Gardening was one of his greatest pleasures throughout his life. Frank was a student of the Bible and enjoyed leading Bible studies wherever they lived. His philosophy in life could be summed up in the words found in Micah 6:8: “...to act justly, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with God”. Frank will be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. His devotion and faithfulness to the Lord is the legacy he leaves to us. Remembering Frank are Joy, his wife of 69 years and 4 children: Carol (Les) Westmacott, Nelson, BC and family: Marc (Nancy) Westmacott and children Caleb, Calla and Annika, Langley, BC; Caryn Westmacott, Vancouver, BC and David Westmacott, Kelowna, BC. Donna (Barry) Foulds, Salmon Arm, BC and family: Megan (Dave) Willms and daughter Nora, Vancouver, BC; Ian (Kristin) Foulds and family: Marin, Corban, Jeriah and Asher in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Beth (Raymond) Todd, Whitehorse, Yukon and family: Eric (Kerry) Cheyne, Inuvik, NWT and Stuart Cheyne, Whitehorse, Yukon. John (Elaine) Phillips, New Westminster, BC and family: Paul Phillips, Abbotsford, BC and Joel Phillips, Port Moody, BC. Sister Margaret Harms, Tsacha Lake, BC and family; and sister-in-law Marjorie Dodge, Vernon, BC. A family gathering to honor Frank’s life will take place at a later date.
