Fort McMurray damaged but not broken

It could be at least two weeks before a plan is in place to de-cide when residents can return to Fort McMurray, said Alberta Premier Rachel Notley after touring the fire-devastated area Monday.

“First responders and repair crews have weeks of work ahead of them to make this city safe

for the people of Fort McMur-ray — but it is going to be made safe,” Notley wrote in a Face-book post.

Notley said about 2,400 struc-tures were lost in the fire, but 25,000 were saved, including the hospital, municipal buildings and every functioning school.

“This city was surrounded by an ocean of fire only a few days ago, but Fort McMurray and the surrounding communities

have been saved,” Notley stated. “And they will be rebuilt.”

Meanwhile, residents and businesses in Williams Lake continue to rally to help Fort McMurray, gathering supplies and cash donations.

A container loaded with sup-plies at Cariboo Chevrolet GM will be hauled to Fort McMur-ray Wednesday morning, while Lake City Ford has put the call out to fill a reefer trailer for the

community, as well. Daybreak Rotary is also ac-

cepting cash or cheque dona-tions at the Tribune office to forward to the Fort McMurray Fire Relief Fund through Ro-tary District 5370 in Edmonton, Alta.

Residents in the B.C. Peace region have also been impacted by two large wildfires, which of-ficials are now saying were de-liberately set.

This issue may contain the following � yers: Canadian Tire, Save On, The Brick, London Drugs, Surplus Herbs, Home Hardware, Mark’s Work Wear, Rona, Sobey’s.

The B.C. government is toughening up on mo-torists who use their cell phone while driving.

Significantly higher fines, more penalty points, and earlier in-terventions for repeat offenders — including driving prohibitions — are all part of the prov-ince’s push to eliminate distracted driving and the dangers that come with it.

“Distracted driving continues to be on the rise and is the leading cause of collisions, both on the highways and

in municipalities,” said Sgt. Mike Hacker of the Cariboo Chilcotin Traf-fic Unit.

“There is a time and a place for cell phones but driving isn’t one of them.”

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1.

The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and driv-ers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combina-tion results in a total penalty of $888 for a

second offence within a year of the first.

Hacker said he wel-comes the changes, along with the educa-tional component to make drivers aware of the risks involved with distracted driving.

“Clearly there has to be a deterrence but the fine amounts are only one piece of the puzzle,” he said.

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone said the tougher legislation is the result of public consultation in which 90 per cent of respondents indicated they support stronger distracted driv-ing penalties.

Fort McMurray wildfire evacuees Dani-elle and Desmond Doerksen escaped to Williams Lake Thurs-day and at this point do not know if they’ve lost their home.

On Tuesday, May 3, the couple grabbed their three children, packed a few belong-ings, and fled with their fifth wheel.

By the time they ar-rived at Grassland, Alta., Danielle said they realized they wouldn’t be returning to Fort McMurray any time soon.

“We decided we might as well come to Williams Lake. We both grew up here and have family here,” she said.

For now the Doerk-sens are staying in their fifth wheel, parked in the driveway at Dani-elle’s parents’ home in

Glendale. On Friday morning

they registered their boys Jordan, 8, and Jacob, 6, for school in Williams Lake.

Desmond has worked for Finning in Fort McMurray since 2004.

Soon after they ar-rived here this week, employees at Finning in Williams Lake de-cided to help the family out by setting up a do-nation box in the front office.

By Friday afternoon the box was almost full.

“It’s unbelievable,” Desmond said of the outpouring the fam-ily has received. “We are blown away by the support from Williams Lake. We feel like we never left.”

Danielle’s relatives in Winnipeg have also sent them lots of clothes.

Even before the of-ficial evacuation alert was issued Tuesday

afternoon in Fort Mc-Murray, Desmond said he realized they needed to leave.

“I climbed up on our roof and I could see the fire cresting over the hill,” he recalled. “That was it, I decided we were getting out. I told Danielle to go bring the kids home from school.”

After circling around the city a few times they managed to get onto Highway 63 driv-ing southward, even though traffic was be-ing directed north.

As they drove through the “hell fire,” seeing a gas station and hotel in flames, trees exploding and vehicles everywhere, it was sur-real they said.

“The sky was dark like the sun had gone down but it was only 3:30 in the afternoon,” Danielle said.

Feeling fortunate they got out when they did, the Doerksens said

it is still so hard to be-lieve that a city the size of Fort McMurray

could go up in flames so quickly.

While he is trying

to find a place for his family to live in Wil-liams Lake, Desmond

said he hopes to return to help rebuild Fort McMurray.

Fort McMurray family evacuates home to Williams Lake

The Doerksens fled Fort McMurray Tuesday and are back in their home town for the time being, staying in their fifth wheel. Finning has set up a donation box for the family.

Penalties on driving stiffen

Just a day after arriv-ing home from complet-ing his Million Steps for MS walk from Prince George to Vancouver, Tim Michalchuk and his family suffered a devas-tating blow when their home in Bella Coola was destroyed by fire.

“My house is gone,” Tim posted on their Face-book page. “Everything I

had is gone. I tried to save my dog but I couldn’t. My home is gone.”’

Tim walked from Prince George to Vancou-ver to raise funds for his partner Shannon Dickson to have stem cell treat-ment for MS.

Tim finished his almost month-long walk at the University of B.C. hospi-tal on Sunday, May 1 and surprised Shannon with a proposal of marriage at the finish line.

Speaking from Bella Coola Monday afternoon, May 9, Tim’s mom Kim-berly Kaytor said Tim and Shannon and their children are staying with Shannon’s parents Pat and Sunny Dickson in Bella Coola while they try to regroup and figure out what to do.

Tim and Shannon and their two young children arrived back home in Bel-la Coola from Vancouver Wednesday night, May 4.

Pat, who lives 15 miles away in the Bella Coola Valley, said the family was just finishing dinner when the fire started about 8 p.m. Thursday, May 5, in an out-building behind Tim and Shan-non’s home and quickly spread through trees to the main house.

She said Tim and Shan-non were at the property with the fire inspector Monday afternoon trying to determine the cause of the fire.

“It burned up so fast because it was so dry,” Pat said “It was absolute chaos but the priority was to get everyone out safely.”

She said they lost one of their cats and one of their dogs in the fire and had to let their chickens out to fend for them-selves.

She said another cat was badly singed and has been sent to a veterinarian in Vancouver for treat-

ment with help from the Big Heart Society. An incubator full of turkey eggs that was rescued has started hatching.

Condolences are pour-ing in from family and friends on their Facebook and GoFundMe pages, along with help to pro-vide basics of clothing and personal needs.

“We are now living in our little travel trailer with all our kids sleeping in my parents’ house so we can stay close together, “ writes Shannon on their GoFundMe page.

“Health wise I’m head-ing downhill a bit,” Shan-non said. “The continu-

ous pain in my left hand is back full force and right to my elbow on the left, and my fingers on the right are getting almost as bad.

“The drop foot on the left is worse too. Trying very hard to keep posi-tive for my little ones, but with little hope of having a place to call a home for us all together in the near future it’s not easy.

More on Tim and Shannon’s story can be found at https://www.go-fundme.com/kehkkd4k and on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/MillionStepsTo-SaveMyShannon.

RCMP nab suspected impaired driversWilliams Lake

RCMP handed out two 90-day driving prohibitions to sus-pected impaired driv-ers Friday night as part of their weekend shift.

According to Staff Sgt. Del Byron, on Fri-day, May 6, police re-ceived a report at 7:24 p.m. of a possible im-paired driver on Chim-ney Lake Road who had been consuming alcohol during the day at the lake.

Officers stopped the 18-year-old female driver, observed signs of intoxication and performed two sobri-ety tests, which the driver failed, said po-lice.

She was given a 90-day driving prohibition and her vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.

Later that evening, at about 11:49 p.m., a 22-year-old male driver was also given a 90-day driving pro-hibition and 30-day vehicle impoundment after police discov-ered the man outside of his vehicle after it was parked in the Kal Tire parking lot. Byron said officers had spot-ted the driver leaving a liquor establishment earlier that evening.

On Saturday, May

7 at 9:58 p.m. police received a report of a man stealing $20 out of a donation box at the Handi Mart.

The suspect is de-scribed as having red

hair, a black T-shirt, black hoodie and backpack. RCMP are in the process of re-viewing video surveil-lance taken at the time of the theft.

On Sunday, May 8 at 1:35 a.m. Byron said officers stopped the driver of a Red Kia Sorrento on Dog Creek Road and dis-covered .3 grams of

methamphetamine, a meth pipe and some marijuana.

Police are forward-ing charges to Crown against the 35-year-old male driver.

Resident fights selling of park land

Kimberly Code is fighting a proposal to sell off park land in Williams Lake.

Her home backs onto Patrick Reid Park on Boundary Street, one of five small parks city council is consid-ering selling to raise funds to invest in the river valley trail sys-tem.

“Taking green space away is not the right way to go about rais-ing funds for other projects,” Code said Tuesday. “When they built our neighbor-hoods they built these parks as part of the them.”

The other parks be-ing considered for dis-

posal are Beauchamp, Johnson, Gibbon and Twelfth Avenue Tot Parks.

In an earlier in-terview, Mayor Walt Cobb said the parks are no longer in use, but Code argued it is proven that green spaces are important,

even if they are not be-ing used.

“You are looking at the trees, the deer, the nature,” she said. “Our house overlooks the park, that’s one of the reasons we bought it.”

Besides, many peo-ple in the neighbor-hood use the park to

walk through with dogs, teach children how to ride a bike, and in the winter children sled there, she added.

There used to be a picnic table and a gar-bage can in the park, but those have been removed by the city in recent years.

Code started an on-line petition against the proposal a few weeks ago and already it has garnered 188 sig-natures.

This Thursday, May 12, the city is hosting an open house at city hall from 6 to 8 p.m. about the park land plan and Code is en-couraging people to attend.

“People may not think it effects them,” Code said. “But how

would you like it if somebody came up to your house and decid-ed to take away your view of the lake or the chunk of property in front of you.”

In addition to Thurs-day’s open house, city staff is placing displays about the plan at city hall and the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex between May 14 and 24.

During that time the public is encouraged to fill out the response sheets provided at those two locations.

The feedback will help city council decide on how to proceed.

Selling park land requires either assent from the lectors or an alternative approval process.

Monica Lamb-Yorski photoThere will be an open house Thursday at city hall to discuss the city’s plan to dispose of five small parks including Patrick Reid Park on Boundary Street.

Better safe than sorry

People who fear human activities can have negative impacts on the environ-ment are often called fearmongers.

Those who are happy with business as usual believe fearmongers are spreading scary ru-mours because they are against progess.

I’ll take a chance on being labelled a wild-fire fearmonger. Some say climate change is the underlying culprit in the Fort McMur-ray inferno. Others shake their heads at that. There probably are a number of contributing factors, but no matter what or who is respon-sible, human beings are no match for the fire. Traditional fire fighting methods couldn’t stop it and the only hope, according to experts on the scene, is a weather change. We don’t know

how to make the weather change, so it’s a matter of watching and wait-ing for nature to do her thing.

There are simi-lar but smaller fires

in B.C.’s Peace River area but cooler weather and a snowfall slowed them down a bit.

Was the Fort Mac fire totally unexpected? Well no. In 2009, when 70 fire scientists and fire managers met in Victoria to discuss what possible impact climate change might have on the fire situation in Canada, they already knew wildfires were “exceeding thresholds,” becom-ing more unpredictable, burning hotter and faster than ever before. In 2011, a report fol-lowing the devastating Slave Lake fire made 21 recommendations on how to prepare for the next one. A recent study, which used tree-ring data to reconstruct the coastal climate back to the 1600s, suggests B.C. can expect severe droughts in the next few decades. It doesn’t take an expert to connect hot dry weather with wildfires. So far, so good in Cariboo Chilcotin, but it’s only mid-May. What will the summer bring?

Premier Christy Clark says BC is ready for whatever. After the fearsome fires in the Chil-cotin six summers ago, local governments are no doubt on the ball, but while we trust the authorities to do the right thing, disaster pre-paredness and fire prevention are everyone’s responsibility. The thought of fires surely puts a damper on the joys of summer. Hopefully we’ll be lucky. Or fearful enough to be pre-pared if we’re not.

Not all heroes wear capes

In the words of the McLeese Lake Vol-unteer Fire Department, not all heroes wear capes.

Recently, I travelled to MLVFD. On behalf of our provincial government, I was delighted to present them with $21,000 for first respond-er operations.

Recently, the MLVFD first responder’s team participated in an intensive training ses-sion at the 150 Mile House Volunteer Fire Department’s Hall. This is a fantastic program that provides hands-on training and seminars to firefighters across the province.

We owe a great debt to firefighters. During fires, while people run out of a burning build-ing, firefighters put themselves in harm’s way.

However, with the wildfires in the northeast region, and recent wild-fires that were con-tained in Nazko and 70 Mile House thanks to our fire

crews, as the summer approaches, it’s impor-tant that we all do our part to prevent wild-fires. The FireSmart program teaches ways we can minimize wildfire threats near our homes. FireSmart activities include: thinning and trimming trees, shrubs and other vegetation, removing flammable material from the proper-ty, ensuring that woodpiles and other easily ig-nited materials are stored away from buildings and using fire-resistant building and landscap-ing materials. The recently updated FireSmart Homeowner’s Manual is available online at: http://bcwildfire.ca/Prevention/firesmart.htm.

As part of Balanced Budget 2016, our gov-ernment also invested $85 million in the new Forest Enhancement Society of B.C. The society will focus on wildfire risk reduction to complement the ministry’s existing forest stewardship programs and world-class wildfire suppression capabilities. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or burning violation, please call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the MLVFD’s Mother’s Day Market Sunday. It’s their biggest fundrais-ing event of the year and it’s great to see the department get the support they need. The MLVFD is looking for more volunteers to join the team. If you are interested in helping out, call Ian Hicks at 250-303-2210.

Coralee Oakes is the MLA for Cariboo North and Minister of Small Business and Red Tape Reduction.

Big money banThe numbers can’t be surprising but

they are interesting nonetheless.According to a new poll from In-

sights West (sponsored by the non-profit Dogwood Initiative, based out of Victoria), B.C. voters overwhelm-ingly support a ban on corporate and union political donations.

Dogwood Initiative is a citizen group calling on the province to “ban big money” in politics.

The survey (you can find the full re-sults online) showed that 86 per cent of British Columbians polled would fa-vour bans on the corporate/union do-nations before the next election.

The commonly held belief is that the bigger the war chest, the better the chance of winning — in almost any election. Is that democracy in action?

The report also states that B.C. is the last province in Canada to allow unlimited donations from anywhere in the world, including in municipal elec-tions.

The survey shows this leaves mem-bers of the public more than a little cynical about the role of ordinary citi-zens.

More than two-thirds of adults polled (68 per cent) believe citizens are not influential in shaping policy in this province. The most influential group is corporations (90 per cent).

Ranked in order of influence were corporations, lobbyists, foreign inves-tors, unions and then the citizens them-selves. It seems a little backward, no?

Question of the weekHelp out fire victimsEditor:

During the afternoon of Thurs-day, May 5, the Windermere Val-ley Men’s Club held its weekly competition. Our thoughts were not on golf, but rather on the families displaced by the fires rag-ing in northern Alberta.

At the conclusion of the event, our membership decided to do-nate the prize money that would

normally have gone to the after-noon’s winners to the disaster re-lief efforts currently being under-taken.

Al Wittke, a longstanding member of our club, also donated $2,000 to the Salvation Army. Al lived in Fort McMurray in the Beacon Hill subdivision. His for-mer residence has burned to the ground.

The Windermere Valley Men’s

Club is challenging men’s and women’s golf clubs across B.C. and Alberta to do the same. Take the prize money from one after-noon of golf to assist our friends and neighbours in the Fort Mc-Murray area.

***A field of roses to doctors Gra-

cia and Wolf and their amazing team for the dedication to CHAPS “Cardiac Health Advancement Pro-grams” and the level of help they provide. It is almost a year now since just two hours a week for 12 weeks, changed my life. Things that worried me and others I wasn’t so concerned with, were all addressed. I learned so much about my heart, body me-chanics, the food I eat, the meds I take and put it all into perspective

with hands-on approach and in words I understood. People came in to talk in a caring environment, questions were encouraged and, just having the one-on-one advice from these professionals was a gem in itself. Doctors, nurses, therapists, physic dietitians, diabetic care, etc.

If you have had a cardiac event, such as a stroke, heart attack or by-pass, or any serious issues related to cardio, talk to your doctor for a referral to CHAPS. We are so lucky to finally have some funding and people willing to put this program to work. I feel they gave their all to help me through all my medical problems and guided me to be the best I can be. You just can’t beat it.

Palliative care the moral optionEditor:

June 6, 2016, our government will have to finalize all legislation related to Medical Assistance in Dying (Bill C-14). The Supreme Court of Canada legal challenge that resulted in our previous ban on Medical Assistance in Dying being lifted (The Carter Decision) resulted in the formation of a Parliamentary Committee to develop guidelines of Practice for Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada. This document was released February 2016.

Palliative Sedation Therapy for Intolerable Suffering versus Medi-cally Assisted Death, (Assisted Sui-cide), and Euthanasia

Palliative Care is defined by the World Health Organization as “an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treat-ment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial, and spiri-

tual.”(1)Palliative Care:• Provides relief from pain and

other distressing symptoms• Affirms life and regards dying as

a normal process• Intend to neither hasten nor

postpone deathPalliative Sedation Therapy

(PST): Also “Controlled sedation,” “Total Sedation,” or “Continuous Sedation,” is the intentional lower-ing of a patient’s level of conscious-ness in the last days of life. It involves the proportional and monitored use of sedative medications to relieve in-tolerable suffering by a reduction in patient consciousness. The patient experiences symptom relief until death occurs by the natural course of the underlying disease, usually within hours to days.

Medical assisted death means knowingly and intentionally provid-ing a person with the knowledge, means, or both required to commit suicide, including counselling about lethal doses of drugs, prescribing such lethal doses, or supplying the drugs.

Euthanasia means knowingly and intentionally performing an act that is explicitly intended to end an-other person’s life and that includes the following elements: the person has an incurable illness; the agent knows about the person’s condition, and commits the act with the pri-mary intention of ending the life of that person. Many will experience a moral dilemma with the intentional ending of a person’s life, as in medi-cally assisted death or euthanasia. However, to use deep sedation to re-lieve intolerable suffering and bring a patient to a peaceful and comfort-able state until natural death, the intention is different. It would be preferable to see funding placed into universal funding for palliative/end of life care for all Canadians, pallia-tive care beds, training programs for palliative care Volunteers, increasing Community Nursing funding so that families have the support they require should they choose to care for a family member at home.

Important piece missing on auditor general’s mine report

Editor: One very impor-

tant factor had been absent from the cov-erage of Auditor General Carol Bell-ringer’s scathing re-port on the failings of the province’s mine monitoring, and mas-sively underfunded liabilities for mine accidents and pollut-ing abandoned proj-ects — the role of First Nations in pro-viding solutions.

Ms. Bellringer’s re-port vindicates what B.C. First Nations have been saying for years, the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Environment fail to protect British Co-lumbians from the

environmental risk, monitoring of mine projects is weak, and taxpayers are on the hook for damages be-cause liability fund-ing is woefully inad-equate.

The auditor general calls for independent monitoring. First Na-tions are in the per-fect position, with capacity building and training assistance, to provide this ser-vice through shared decision-making on permitting, and direct participation in in-dependent monitor-ing and enforcement, through our own en-vironmental guard-ians programmes on our lands.

Then there is the matter of taxpayers

being on the hook for up to $1 billion in un-funded liabilities for mine remediation.

In fact that liability can only increase as new projects come on line.

This risk was pointed out last year in the First Nation’s Energy and Mining Council’s report on the threat of min-ing to northeastern B.C.’s watersheds.

That report called, among other things, for a “Superfund” to be created to ensure taxpayers are not left to pick up the tab for accidents and to make sure remedial work is done.

First Nations have not been waiting for the BC government

to wake up. For ex-ample, the North Shuswap Tribal Council has already enacted its own de-tailed mining policy and tool kits and that other are following suit.

We know that, while making sure only the right proj-ects proceed in the right way is crucially important, so is en-suring that existing or future mines operate under the conditions laid down for them, that the effluence and other environmental impacts are properly monitored, and that remediation work is done.

Our First Nations are the ones who know their lands and

waters. We have a to-tally vested interest in ensuring they are protected as we are the ones on the front lines if anything goes wrong, as it did with Mount Polley.

If Minister Bill Bennett and his gov-ernment genuinely accept the AG’s re-port and want to respond in a mean-ingful way, it should immediately begin working with our First Nations to help them build the capac-ity and gain the train-ing to set up guardian programmes.

Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts par-ticipated in the fourth annual Hike for Hun-ger Saturday ending

up at Sacred Heart Catholic Church to donate food to the St. Vincent de Paul Society for its food bank. The Pathfind-ers departed from Walmart. At the Real Canadian Wholesale

Food Club they were joined by the Guides and Scouts. From there the hikers went to Save-On-Foods where the Cubs and Brownies were wait-ing and then Beavers joined them at Safe-

way. St. Vincent de Paul Society president Darla Robson gave them a short history of St. Vincent de Paul and then accepted all of their donations of food.

One of the Guiders

said when the group arrived at Save-On Foods, and some of the members were shopping there for donations, the store matched the amount spent and donated as well.

Studio Theatre stages two plays for zone festival

The Williams Lake Studio Theatre is pulling out all of its resources to host the Central Interior Zone Festival this month, including staging two plays in the two weeks leading up to the festi-val.

Annoyance by Sam Bobrick will join Death Defying Acts as the Studio Theatre’s entries in the festival which will also include a play from Prince George and one by the Maranatha Christian School’s Maranatha Players.

Death Defying Acts opened at the Studio Theatre Wednesday, May 4 and finishes its two-week run May 11-14.

Annoyance will be on stage for only two nights May 16 and 17 before the festival be-gins on May 18.

“As Annoyance is only a two night run tickets will only be available at the the-atre concession during Death Defying Acts,” says director Brad Lawryk who is also a festival co-ordinators.

A comedy, Annoy-ance stars Oren Barter as Ethan, Tanis Daum as Dr. Wells and Colin Sanford as Dr. Gates.

The play involves a very annoying man who manages to drive both of his therapists over the edge.

The therapists de-cide to take drastic measures to rid the world of this most ob-noxious man but of course things don’t go as planned, Lawryk says.

He warns the play contains occasional adult language and content.

The Central Interior Zone Festival takes place at the Studio Theatre Wednesday,

May 18 through Sun-day, May 22.

The festival plays will be adjudicated by Sarah Rodgers, a busy director from Vancou-ver who is currently directing West Side Story for Theatre Un-der the Stars following her hit production of Hairspray last sum-mer.

The Central Cari-boo Zone Drama Fes-tival opens Wednes-day, May 18 at 8 p.m. with the Maranatha Players’ production of Snake in the Grass by Alan Ayckbourn and directed by Becky Strickland.

Death Defying Acts by David Mam-et, Elaine May and Woody Allen and di-rected by Shane Tollef-son will be on stage for the festival Thursday, May 19 at 8 p.m.

Annoyance will be on stage for the festival on Friday, May 20, at 8 p.m.

Saturday, May 21 starting at 2 p.m. Prince George Pocket Theatre presents Van-ya and Sonya and Ma-sha and Spike written by Christopher Du-range and directed by Dominic Maguire.

On the morning following each of the festival plays the adju-dicator will hold coffee critiques with the cast and crew.

Sunday, May 22 the adjudicator will hold an intensive workshop at the Studio Theatre with the cast and crew of the winning play.

Michael Rawluk photo The Studio Theatre’s production Death Defying Acts, a long running off Broadway play, features the work of playwrights David Mamet, Elaine May and Woody Allen who wrote three comical skits for the production. In Hotline by Elaine May, a neurotic woman with enough urban angst to fill a neighbourhood calls a suicide crisis hotline late one night. The counsellor who gets the call is overwhelmed. It is his first night on the job. This scenario features Chris Armstrong as Ken; Jay Goddard as Dr. Russell; Laura Masini Pieralli as Marty Laura; Veronica Abel (above) as Dorothy; and Haley Tazelaar as the delivery person. Death Defying Acts is on stage tonight through Saturday night. Tickets are available at About Face Photography, Kit and Kaboodle and The Open Book.

Three vie for Stampede Queen crown

My name is Tanisleigh Christine Evans and I am the second sibling of four chil-dren. During the past 17 years of my life I have done many different things.

Being from a ranch/rodeo family I started riding before I could walk and have contin-ued participating in local gymkhanas, BC High School Rodeo and even the BC Rodeo Association. I enjoy the many opportuni-ties that I have been able to partake in.

Among my many activities, I competed with the Cariboo Gymnastics Club, was a member of the bowling league with my family, and participated in Williams Lake minor hockey.

When I was in Grade 8, I joined the rugby team and enjoyed the action until an injury prevented my return.

Lastly, my granny lives on the lake so I love all the water sports that I am able to participate in.

I enjoy working but due to developing epilepsy I had to stop.

The first couple of months were very scary and hard to understand.

But with the help of my family and medi-cal system I have a ton of support, and have not had a seizure since the first one.

I am currently finishing my Grade 12 year and after a week of work experience in a physiotherapy environment I realized my goal for the future is to attend UBC to pur-sue a career in rehabilitation physiotherapy.

With the sudden changes that occurred in my life I have realized to live every day to the fullest.

Born and raised in Williams Lake, my name is Dana Jessica Rook.

I’m the daughter of Andrew Rook and Sharon Haynes and the third youngest sib-ling to Julie and Brittany Rook.

Currently I am an 18-year-old Grade 12 student at Lake City Secondary School.

I have been a part of the Lake City Sec-ondary girls rugby team for four years, and now I play rugby, and represent LCSS as a senior athlete.

I am equally a part of our local sea cadet corps. I’ve been with the cadet program in Williams Lake for almost six years now.

Being the coxswain of the corps, I am thankful to have had the privilege to com-pete in sailing, biathlon, marksmanship, drill competitions, and seamanship compe-titions.

With cadets, I also volunteer numerous amounts of hours for the Royal Canadian Legion every year, including the famous Poppy Drive where the cadets raise money for the veterans of Canada.

In the years 2013-2014 I not only repre-sented Williams Lake and the Rotary Dis-trict 5040, but I also took on the role of a Canadian ambassador when I travelled and studied abroad in the Czech Republic as an international exchange student.

On my year-long journey I learned a new language, experienced an extremely differ-ent culture, and met amazing new people from around the globe.

That Rotary experience has taught me that I can do anything if I set my mind to it.

My name is Cheyenne Shoults. I am 17 years old and am the oldest of

five siblings.I am currently a Grade 12 student at Lake

City Secondary School.I grew up with strong family values; we

learned to work hard and to care for each other.

I have many fond memories with my fam-ily riding or just spending time with horses alongside of my papa and aunty.

My family has been an anchor for me throughout my life and I am thankful for their support.

When I was 13 I bought and trained a two-year-old horse who I named Dream.

I have come to love and adore her. I spend many hours working and riding

all of my horses and with my dog. In the last three years I have started com-

peting in show jumping and barrel racing which has helped me grow as an individual and has given me the drive to succeed.

I enjoy playing guitar.I love to sing and am an avid reader. I have found my greatest enjoyment has

been working on a ranch and I am so grate-ful to Diamond 7 Performance Horses for this opportunity, and so pleased to have them as my sponsor.

Working as a ranch hand at Diamond 7 for the past year has given me internal strength, having a sense of direction and self-worth.

My hopes for the future are to work in the animal and agricultural industry.

Ruth Hoehne hard-ly slept and was in constant tears last week after her neigh-bour happened to ask her how her sisters in Fort McMurray were doing.

Until that moment, May 3, she didn’t have a clue that fire was ripping through the community that she called home for 23 years.

She was busy gar-dening and bird watching, not watch-ing TV.

But since that fate-ful day Ruth has been glued to the TV and her cell phone trying to make sure her fami-ly and friends are safe.

Friday evening Ruth was able to confirm that her sisters, broth-er and their families were safe, but that her nephew, Josh, and his family and another couple close to her family have lost their

homes to the fire.Ruth and her hus-

band, Randy, are rela-tive newcomers to the lakecity from Fort McMurray where Randy was born and they raised their daughters Samantha and Jessica.

Randy moved to Williams Lake four years ago to work for Gibraltar Mine and Ruth joined him a year later with their daughters.

While Randy doesn’t have any fam-ily living in Fort Mc-Murray today, Ruth says at least 60 of her close and extended family members live in and around the city, including two sisters and a brother, and their children and grandchildren.

Many of Ruth’s family members and friends are staying with another sister in Boyle, a small town three hours south of Fort McMurray.

“They just said our

doors are open and let everyone come in,” Ruth said.

Other family mem-bers have made it to Edmonton and as far away as Ottawa and Newfoundland.

She said one sister travelling with her daughter and grand-children was among the escapees who ran out of gas 50 miles out of Fort McMur-ray, but fortunately they were able to park the car by the road and climb into her husband’s truck that was following them.

“Please keep our first responders and people of Fort Mc-Murray in your prayers and please donate to the Red Cross,” Ruth said as she shared some of the stories and pic-tures coming to her cell phone from fam-ily and friends about their harrowing es-capes.

Ruth said her neph-ew Tyler Fawcett was interviewed on CBC and by a media outlet in Istanbul, Turkey about the escape he made with his wife Flaxee.

Tyler and Flaxee have been married just over a year, so Ruth said Flaxee took her wedding dress, wedding photos, their dog and some water with her when she left their house to pick up Tyler who was strand-ed downtown.

Part way there she said Flaxee had to abandon the vehicle, her wedding dress and photos, and run 12 blocks with their dog and some water to meet up with Tyler who had found an-other ride out with his sister and family.

Ruth was also moved by the story of how her good friends Dave Oger, a fire fighter, and his wife Jennifer, an X-ray technician at the hos-pital were separated from each other, their children, and their three dogs during the evacuation.

The Fawcett and Oger stories are avail-able on our Tribune/Weekend Advisor website and Facebook pages.

Health Awareness

Nurses are known for their com-passion, wealth of knowledge and ability to think and adapt on their feet. While some of these traits depend on the person, many of them are honed by the most impor-tant people students will meet in their education: their nursing instructors.

Nursing is one of the largest fac-ulties on the Thompson Rivers University - Williams Lake Campus with nine instructors in Williams Lake and three instructors in the region. They are responsible for teaching more than 90 nursing and health care students in the Cariboo.

“I love being able to work with our future nurses [and] instill in them a sense of passion for nursing and the desire to be the advocate for their patients and clients,” said Lisa Dyck, a TRU Williams Lake nursing faculty member. “It’s very rewarding to see the excitement and passion of the students as they care for their first patient, to be there when the family members thank them for taking such good care of their loved one and to see the students overcome fears and challenges, not only as a nurse, but

also as an individual.”Dr. Ray Sanders, executive director

of TRU Williams Lake, said TRU’s

nursing and health care assistant faculty members are the key to the programs’ success.

“Without their hard work and dedication, our students would not go on to lead the successful careers they do.”

The nursing and health care pro-grams are some of the most com-petitive programs offered at a post-secondary level, but the dedication and degree of skill provided by the faculty members give the students an advantage.

The Practical Nursing Program at TRU Williams Lake, for example, is one of a very few in the country that holds a 100 per cent success rate on the licensing exam, said Rhonda McCreight, nursing pro-gram coordinator at TRU Williams Lake.

“I love sharing nursing knowl-edge with students and feel it is ‘giving back’ for the wonderful education I was provided,” said Amber Engel-Handford, an instruc-tor for the Health Care Assistant Program at TRU Clearwater.

“I see it as an honour to pass on knowledge to future nurses. I hope to impart the importance of touch-ing peoples’ lives and making their experience with you as positive and assistive as possible.”

Proud to supportour hard

working nurses.

For as long as any faculty, staff or student at Thompson Rivers University - Williams Lake Campus can remember, there have been nursing students and faculty on campus.

“The first group of Bachelor of Science in Nursing students began studying in 1991 and graduated in 1995,” said Rhonda McCreight, nursing program coordinator at

TRU Williams Lake. “The Practical Nursing Program began in 2008 and the Health Care Assistant Certificate has been on campus since 1997.”

The campus has had a graduating class almost every other year since then.

At next Friday’s Commencement Ceremony, 14 BScN students, 11 practical nursing students and three health care assistant stu-dents will be walking across the stage to celebrate their accom-plishments.

Another 19 health care assistant students will complete their pro-gram in July.

The nursing programs at TRU are some of the most competitive pro-grams offered and applications are received from across the coun-try and even from around the world.

The past two years have seen over 20 international students arrive in Williams Lake to study in the Practical Nursing program.

“We are extremely proud of our nursing programs and nursing fac-ulty at TRU Williams Lake,” said Dr. Ray Sanders, executive director at TRU Williams Lake.

“Our first-rate faculty and pro-grams draw students from our own community, as well as from across the country and even internation-ally. We are proud to offer pro-grams in three careers in the health care field and provide our commu-nity members with the opportunity to follow their dreams of helping others.”

There are three nursing and health care programs offered at TRU Williams Lake: years 1 and 2 of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, the Practical Nursing

Diploma and the Health Care Assistant Certificate.

All three of these programs have a waitlist every year they are offered.

The majority of students who study and graduate at TRU Williams Lake stay in the community and some even return to the campus as instructors.


Health AwarenessThe body incredible

The human body is an incredible piece of “machinery”, capable of so much and able to withstand incredible amounts of abuse.

Despite the abuse we give our bodies, they still function quite admirably well into our sixties, seventies and beyond.

We treat our cars better than we do our bodies. We use premium gas, oil, grease, flushes, regular tune ups, wash and wax.

Yet when it comes to our bodies, we feed our selves DEAD FOODS (cakes, cookies, chocolates, cheezies, chips and etc.). Foods that deplete us of essential vitamins and minerals, creating illness in the process.

If this isn’t bad enough, we drink copious amounts of coffee, pop, teas, lattes and other drinks that require digestion and further strain our resources and deplete our energy.

It is amazing how many people do not drink water - how many are so dehydrated. Yet water is very essential for life to exist. Water is free yet we choose to spend our monies.

If we stopped eating dead foods and drinking stimulating drinks, we could overcome quite a few of our modern deseases; things such as heart

desease, high blood pressure, ADD, ADHD, diabe-tes, rashes, constipation, obesity and more.

By keeping our bodies balanced both in the mus-culatureand the chemical (digestion) we can achieve good heath.

Consuming wholesome foods (grass fed beef, fish, vegetables and fruit), drinking good quality water and excersising we could improve our health considerably and be pain free well into our seventies, eighties and beyond.

Just because you are in your seventies or eight-ies doesn’t mean that it is too late. It is never to late.

I am doing things now at 64 that I could not do in my twenties; I have lots of energy and only need 5 hours of sleep a night.

For more information on how you can improve your health or to take some of my courses give me a call at my office 250-392-2600.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE

WEIGHT CONTROL & CUPPING MASSAGE& ACUPUNCTURE FOR DOG

The majority of peo-ple will require phys-iotherapy at some time in their life. Physiotherapists deal

with a broad range of conditions, such as sports injuries, whip-lashes, fractures, arthritis, osteoporosis,

stress incontinence, vertigo, post- ‐opera-tive rehab and over-use injuries such as bursitis or tendonitis.

We also help people with neurological con-ditions, such as strokes, head injuries, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis or concus-sions. Physiotherapists will take a detailed history and perform an extensive assess-ment prior to develop-ing a treatment plan.

Treatments may con-sist of exercises such as s t retching, strengthening, aerobic reconditioning, gait retraining, balance exercises or functional

exercises to simulate a sport or work demand. Patients may receive education on posture, proper body mechan-ics or perhaps, com-puter ergonomics, to correct the cause of the problem.

To ease pain, physio-therapists may use heat, ice, acupuncture, massage, manual ther-apy or electrical modalities such as TENS, ultrasound or interferential. If a knee ligament has been stretched, custom knee braces can be useful to stabilize the knee. This is always done in conjunction with exercise for dynamic support of

the knee. The pain of arthritic knees can often be relieved with a custom Unloader Brace that takes the pressure off the pain-ful part of the knee. Physiotherapists can fit patients with these knee braces.

A common foot con-dition we treat is plan-tar fasciitis, which causes pain in the heel or arch of the foot. Stretching the calf, using ice and wearing supportive footwear can ease the pain. Physiotherapists can also fit patients with custom made orthot-ics (insoles for the shoes). Orthotics can be helpful in treating

painful feet or knees by improving the alignment. Many extended health plans will cover part of the cost of custom orthot-ics or braces, provided a doctor has pre-scribed the device.

Vertigo is a condition where a person feels like they are spinning or the world around them is spinning; yet they are stationary. A common cause is crys-tals in the inner ear canals being dis-lodged, causing an abnormal signal sent to the brain. This can be treated with phys-iotherapy and can often be cleared with one or two treatments.

At Pro Physioworks Clinic, we also do standardized baseline testing for concus-sions.

Athletes involved in contact sports can have baseline testing done. If they subse-quently sustain a con-cussion, they can be objectively re- ‐mea-sured to assess wheth-er they are safe to return to sports, school or work. The post- ‐injury measurements also help determine what areas need to be addressed, such as

memory, balance, gaze stabilization, neck mobilization or educa-tion regarding pacing activity.

It is not only athletes who sustain concus-sions. We also test and treat concussions sus-tained in falls or car accidents, for example.

Physiotherapy is a self- ‐regulated profes-sion.

As university gradu-ates, physiotherapists continue to upgrade their skills and knowl-edge with ongoing continuing education courses throughout their career.

There is a growing demand for physio-therapy as the public recognizes it can improve their quality of life.

P h y s i o t h e r a p i s t s work in a variety of settings, such as hos-pitals, private clinics, home care, extended care facilities, schools and child development centers.

Health AwarenessLet’s talk!

The Mayor and Council of Williams Lake have once again proclaimed May as “Hospice Palliative Care Awareness Month”. It is the mission of the Williams Lake Hospice Society (WLHS) to improve the quality of life of those individuals and their families facing life-limiting illness, death or bereavement; through skilled and compassionate support, education and advocacy.

What is Hospice Palliative Care (HPC)?

Hospice palliative care is a holistic approach to care that supports patients and their fami-lies dealing with physical, psychological, social and spiritual issues throughout their end-of-life journey. When cure is no longer an option, the focus becomes improved quality of life and

dying with dignity. Hospice doesn’t hasten or postpone the inevitable … it is simply about making the journey easier and the road less lonely. HPC also includes caregiver support as well as bereavement support for loved ones.

Williams Lake Hospice Society Services

WLHS is a volunteer-based non profit Society. We provide trained volunteers who offer social, emotional and spiritual support to cli-ents and their families. We also provide educa-tion, advocacy and community awareness in palliative care and grief. WLHS maintains two palliative care suites and a furnished family room at Deni House. We supply anticipatory grief information packages to our clients and their families, in addition to grief support when requested. We offer comfort items such as sheepskins and other equipment upon request. Our resource library is available to everyone; clients, families and the general public. We have a variety of resources regard-ing death and dying, grief and general infor-mation about hospice palliative care and are continually updating our library with new material.

National Hospice Palliative Care Week … “HPC First!”

This year’s national campaign is “Let’s Talk About Hospice Palliative Care First”. There are many ways to start the conversation about end-of-life care. Increased awareness and talk-ing about the vital need for hospice services are two great ways to advocate for change, ensuring every Canadian has access to quality hospice palliative care. Anyone and everyone can be a Hospice Palliative Care advocate!

At end of life, many individuals find them-selves asking questions such as “What help is available to me”? “What decisions do I have to make”? “What will I want/need at the end of my life”? At this difficult time, many people are unsure of what to expect.

The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) believes it is time to focus on the right for all Canadians to have equal access to high-quality hospice palliative care at end of life.

We need to start conversations around death and dying … let’s talk about Advanced Care Planning, the role of hospice and educate

ourselves about the services hospice can pro-vide throughout the end-of-life journey.

Did you Know?• Approximately 35% of Canadians who die

currently have access to or receive hospice palliative and end of life care services, regard-less of where they live in Canada. Even fewer receive grief and bereavement services.

• Most people have indicated they would prefer to die at home in the presence of loved ones, yet almost 70% of Canadian deaths still occur in hospitals.

Demand for Hospice Palliative Care

in Canada• Seniors make up the fastest-growing age

group. It is estimated that seniors could account for between 23% and 25% of the total population by 2036, nearly double the 13.9% in 2009.

• Hospital-based palliative care reduces the cost of end of life care by 50% or more, by reducing the number of ICU admissions, diag-nostic testing, interventional procedures and the overall length of stay in the hospital.

However, residential Hospice palliative are programs are still at least 50% funded by charitable donations and families must bear part of the cost of dying at home, or almost anywhere outside a hospital.

(CHPCA 2013 Statistics) Seedy Saturday, May 14th …. Come

visit us @ Boitanio Park from 10am to 2pm

We will once again be attending Seedy Saturday selling our “Memory Seeds” by donation. Each beautiful card is embedded with a variety of wildflower seeds that can be planted in memory of your loved one(s). This year we will be also be celebrating Bereavement Day with balloons to be released in memory of your loved one(s). A perfect way to commemorate a loved one’s memory!

“Bereavement Day” is held the 3rd Sunday of May. This year Bereavement Day is on Sunday, May 15th. Acknowledgement and support of those in grief, with the recogni-tion that with increased public awareness, compassion and education, a person’s ability to adjust to their loss is greatly improved.

Thank You for Your Support!Thank you to all our funders; Province of

British Columbia, Community Gaming, City of Williams Lake and the United Way – Thompson Nicola Cariboo.

A huge thank you to all the community ser-vice organizations, businesses, individual donors and our amazing volunteers for your generous support. Without the generosity and support of our community, there would be no Williams Lake Hospice Society!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!Submitted by

Get loud for mental health - May 2 to 8, 2016We all have mental health and we all want to be happy and

healthy. Mental health is unique to each individual and involves feelings, thoughts and actions. It’s important that we pay attention to those around us, as well as to our own mental health. We often suffer quietly, even silently.

The theme for 2016 Mental Health Awareness week is #GETLOUDFORMENTALHEALTH. Getting loud means speak-ing up to stop the discrimination and the stigma that often go hand in hand with mental illness. It means using your voice to raise awareness and build support; for someone at home, for someone at work or for yourself. Some ways that we can GET LOUD are:

GET LOUD to speak up – for your own mental health. Talk to someone you feel safe with. Talking about it can end the silence and the shame imposed by others and the shame that we sometimes impose on ourselves.

GET LOUD to be that friend who opens up the conversation by asking “How are you, really?” Offer to listen without judg-ment, and to do what you can to help.

GET LOUD to get help –talk with your family Doctor, Mental Health and Substance Use or Canadian Mental Health support-

ive counselling services. Let them know you need support and if you’re in crisis, please go to the hospital or call 911.

GET LOUD and wear green! In the 1800s green ribbons were used to label people “insane.” Let’s turn that on its head by wearing green during Mental Health Week. Show your support: wear green loud and proud!

GET LOUD and volunteer for the Crisis Line. We will be offer-ing the Crisis Line training at the end of May provided we have enough interest. If you are interested in offering emotional support to those who are struggling to cope, please call Canadian Mental Health Association – Cariboo Chilcotin Branch at 250-398-8220 for more information. Let’s join our voices together and GET LOUD FOR MENTAL HEALTH. The more voices, the more powerful the message!

Resources that can be helpful are heretohelp.bc.ca and the Interior Crisis Line – 1-888-353-2273 (locally in the evenings - 250-398-8224).

Team BC, along with Williams Lake’s Cory Loring, Chase Dubois and Daine Dubois, blanked Team North, 3-0, to bring home gold Saturday from the National Aboriginal Hockey Champion-ships.

Goaltender Tamara William and Ruthie Jackson, also of Wil-liams Lake, meanwhile, helped the Team BC girls to a fourth-place finish.

The tournament, held May 2-7 in Missis-sauga, Ont. at the Ice-land Sport Complex, featured 400 athletes spread across eight teams.

The BC boys went unbeaten in the tour-nament after coming in seeded third, down-ing Atlantic 9-1, Al-berta 2-1, North 6-2, Sakatchewan 6-2 and Manitoba 3-2 in over-time in the semifinal.

Chase, who had not played since Jan. 9 after breaking his fibia while playing last season for the Cariboo Cougars of the BC Major Midg-et Hockey League, said it was odd to step back on the ice.

“I hadn’t been in a game situation for a few months and to come back at nationals, it took a few games to get my timing and skat-ing back. [But] it meant a lot to win gold in my final year because be-ing a national cham-pion doesn’t happen to many people.”

Chase’s younger brother Daine, who played alongside Chase last season with the Cougars, added it was a great experience to play at nationals and even more special to win.

“I’m looking for-ward to trying out for Team BC again and playing to defend our championship gold,” Daine said.

Both agreed the semifinal against Man-itoba was the most in-tense game of the tour-nament.

Loring, a Williams Lake Midget Timber-wolves player last year, echoed Daine’s com-ments and said he’s looking toward next

year when the tourna-ment will be hosted in Penticton.

“I’m looking forward to next year to try to go back to back in Pentic-ton,” he said.

“It was a really fun experience playing against players from different provinces. It makes it even sweeter to win gold. It was just a fun time on and off the ice the whole time we were there.”

On the girls’ side BC opened its tournament with a 1-0 loss versus Ontario, then lost a hard-fought battle with Manitoba, 3-0, before picking up steam and beating North (5-2)

and Alberta (5-3). They then dropped

a heartbreaker to Sas-katchewan, 2-0, before being eliminated from the tournament in the bronze-medal game against Manitoba in overtime, 2-1.

William played last season with the North-ern Capitals of the BC Female Major Midget League, while Jackson suited up in her home-town for the Williams Lake Female Midget Timberwolves.

“I was expecting good competition and I thought [we] had a good chance and we were aiming to place first,” Jackson said.

“Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.

“I was very proud to be selected to represent BC and even though we placed fourth I’m proud of all the girls. The most difficult part emotionally wasn’t los-ing, but leaving behind the people I had grown so close to.”

A highlight for all the players was spend-ing time in Toronto for the opening ceremonies at the Hockey Hall of Fame, then attending a Toronto Blue Jays game and visiting Ju-rassic Park for the To-ronto Raptors’ game seven win over the Indi-ana Pacers.

BC wins gold at NAHC

Chase, Loring and Daine helped defeat Team North in the final, 3-0, to win the gold medal.

The Williams Lake RCMP teamed up with Three Corners Health Society, Punky Lake Wilderness Soci-ety and the Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club to offer a ball hockey tournament for Youth Week Friday at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex between 4 and 7 p.m.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Del Byron said the event attracted 50 kids making up eight teams.

“We’ve been serv-ing hot dogs, we have prizes, it’s been very successful,” Byron said as another game got underway with Alexis Creek RCMP Sgt.

Don Racette leading the yellow team and First Nations policing Const. Colby Hen-drickson captaining the pink team.

In addition to RCMP officers who participated, Canoe Creek/Dog Creek Chief Patrick Harry played goal for one of the teams as did Mike Archie, an Aboriginal youth support worker from Changing Direc-tions.

Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club harm reduction worker Jor-dan Davis said a con-sent and sexual assault presentation for 220 students at Lake City Secondary School held Thursday was also very successful.

“I talked about the root cause of sexual assault being a gen-der issue,” Davis said. “What women and men are taught about gender really contrib-utes to the behaviours that go along with sex-ual assault.”

Byron and Hen-drickson talked about the legalities of sexual assault, the ramifica-tions, and how seri-ously it’s taken, Davis said. As the students came through the line to grab a taco wrap after the presen-tation, many of them asked questions and talked one on one.

“That’s a big part of the work — the re-lationship building,” Davis added.

Calabrese,Innocenzo

1927-2016

LaPrairie’s Funeral Services entrusted with arrangements.

250-398-9100

Innocenzo, or Enzo or Inno as he was known to family and friends, was born in Grassano, Italy on April 23, 1927. He grew up during depressed

economic times and under diffi cult circumstances in the farmlands of southern Italy. He lost his mother at the age of fi ve, and with his father working abroad in Africa, was left to be raised by his grandmother. He had to quit school and work on a farm at the age of eight to make ends meet. He was in the Italian military for 18 months just after World War II. He then spent fi ve years in Belgium working in underground coal mines. He immigrated to Canada in the spring of 1957 in search of a better life, but before he left he was introduced to Adriana Destefano and the two began their courtship. Inno ended up in Wells, BC, working at the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mine. He and Adriana wrote letters back and forth for over a year. She came over on October 25, 1958 to join him in Wells, after a “marriage by proxy,” on April 12, 1958. Their four daughters were born in Wells, and after they moved to Williams Lake in 1965, they had their two boys. Inno worked briefl y at the Hendrix Lake mine and the Pacifi c Great Eastern Railway. He then got a job with West Fraser in 1966, which at the time was right across the street from the family home on what was known as Glendale Drive (now Mackenzie Avenue). Inno was known for his hard work, strength, honesty, humour, and good nature at West Fraser and worked there until he retired at the age of 65 in 1991. Inno loved fi shing and hunting, and his passion for gardening was obvious when you saw his yard. He took great pleasure in hosting family and friends for meals at the house where he provided homemade wine and vegetables from the garden, while Adriana cooked up the fabulous Italian meals.Innocenzo is lovingly remembered by his wife of 58 years, Adriana; his children Maria (Peter), Gina (Mark), Linda (Peter), Gabriella (James), and Mauro (Kendra); his grandchildren Aaron (Jessica), Nico, Aiden, Keira, Massimo, Luca, Alessandro, and Matteo; his sister, Anna, of Prato, Italy; and his step-grandchildren, Brittany, Craig (Courtney), and Bryan (Adrienne). Inno was predeceased by his son Nino, his brothers Francesco and Nicola, and his parents Giuseppe Calabrese and Maria Luberto.The family extends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Hicks, Dr. Longland, the staff at the Cariboo Memorial Hospital and Deni House, and the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy team. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust or the Nino Calabrese Memorial Bursary (through PMT Accounting).The funeral mass will be at 2:00 pm, Saturday May 14 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church with a reception to follow at 3:30 in the Gibraltar Room.
