Classy Colthorp chases skate trifectaFort St. James youth skates for Team BC in 2015 Canada Winter Games

Athlete Mckenna Colthorp 13, dreams of stand-ing on the podium at the 2015 Canada Winter Games (CWG). A dream that may soon become a reality as the national fi gure-skating sensation has already proven her talent winning gold at both the 2014 BC Winter Games and 2014 Arctic Winter Games. After recently being chosen to skate for Team BC, I just can’t stop thinking about a third gold medal, Mck-enna said. “I don’t think anything is impos-sible. If you believe in yourself you can do whatever you want,” said Mckenna with a humbling enthusi-asm. “Prince George is so close to Fort St. James it feels like I’m competing on home ice. It’s such an honour to be part of [this year’s] games.”

Mckenna competes as a novice fi gure skater - under 17- and will be one of the youngest competi-tors at the CWG. Known for her strength and poise, she is able to execute all jumps up to a triple loop including a triple salchow and triple toe. She trains 17 hours a day at the CNC Centre in Kelowna, BC in both on-ice and weight-room training. Her private ballet lessons help with posture and fl exibility.

“I feel like I have a good work ethic and I’m not afraid of trying new things,” Mckenna said. “When I’m going through the air I’m calm because I trust my training.”

Mckenna was born in Fort St. James and at the age of fi ve started traveling for summer skating school to Kelowna where she trains with coaches Karen and Jason Mongrain, a powerhouse training team who will be with Mckenna throughout her winter games experience. When it came time to ad-vance her skating career it only made sense for her to move to Kelowna where she now lives.

“She defi nitely showed talent even at that young age which was just the start,” Mr. Mongrain said. “She is a phenomenal athlete, an explosive jumper and very coordinated which are traits that serve you well in competitive fi gure skating. She just has a grace about her that is great in combination with her sheer power.”

Mckenna started skating at the age of three with the Stuart Lake Skating Club in Fort St. James with coach Lisa Bystrom. When she was nine, the Colt-horp family moved to Grand Prairie, Alberta where Mckenna skated with the Grand Prairie Skating Club with coach Ashley Spry for four years. It was in Grand Prairie Mckenna won her fi rst provincial ti-tle and became Alberta’s Pre-Juvenile Champion. At 11-years-old she represented Team Alberta North in Ladies 3 at the Arctic Winter Games in White Horse and won three gold medals. She has since competed

in numerous competitions including sectionals in Prince George in November 2014 and become BC’s Novice Provincial Champion. That event qualifi ed her to skate in Montreal at the Skate Canada Challenge in December 2014 where she competed among the top skaters in Canada. The goal was to place in top 18 to move on to nationals in Kinston, Ontario. She fi nished 8th and recently skated on National Ice in Kingston where she had a strong free program skate fi nishing with the 2nd highest score. Her overall total put her 4th in the competition- less than half a point from a medal.

“It was an amazing experience,” Mckenna said. “To leave being ranked 4th in the entire country was unreal.”

Although costume has little to do with her athletic ability, Mckenna has two fully custom dresses. Her green short-program dress is made by Laura Carr of Kelowna and her fuchsia long-program dress is made by Annette Yanishewski of Grand Prai-rie. Her foot attire is also special being world-level Adidas skates shipped from Italy with special Matrix Elite blades - a much lighter skate.

But what makes Mckenna such a great fi gure skater is her artistry, Ms. Mongrain said, Mckenna’s coach and coach for Team BC.

“Mckenna is extremely co-ordinated and has a lot of good performing qualities. Some skaters are pigeon holed as being a good jumper or spinner but Mckenna is more well rounded, able to land even the toughest jumps.” Ms. Mongrain said.

Mckenna’s goal for next season is to compete internationally and land the triple fl ip and triple lutz, maybe even in time for the winter games.

“My goal at the games is to have a personal best skate and bring home a gold medal,” Mckenna said. “Any medal would be great but I’d really like the gold.”

CWG fi gure-skating events will showcase two levels with four disciplines. Mck-enna will compete against 15 competitors in both short and long programs from Feb. 23-26. For more information on scheduling or events, visit www.canadagames2015.ca

These 2 beautiful exchange students add to the diversity of our high school. They adapted to the Canadian culture the instant they walked into the school. They quickly made friends with both students and staff with their amazing smiles and manners. The girls are very respectful and are always happy to greet people in the hallways. They bring a fresh atmosphere to our school.

Rose and Bob updateREBECCA WATSONCaledonia Courier

Lovebirds Rose 87, and Bob Ray 92, were married Feb. 1 at Riverside Place seniors residence. They are a special example of how it’s never too late to fall in love.

The wedding catered to a few hundred close friends and family who watched as the couple exchanged traditional vows sealed with a kiss. The two seniors had big smiles the entire day and remained humbly inspir-ing to everyone who attended.

“I think she’s the loveli-est women in the world and I love her,” Bob said. “Age don’t mean a thing,” Rose said, with a smile.

“Bob and I want to thank everyone who came and helped us celebrate our special day. We want to thank everyone for all the wonderful gifts and words we received in numerous cards filled with love from our friends and families. We want to thank everyone who helped put it all together and everyone that had a part in making the day as wonderful as it was. We both feel so loved and blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. From the bottom of both our hearts, Thank you.”

The couple met two years ago after Rose moved into the seniors home. Playing Skip’o with a group of mutual friends proved to be the first thing they had in common.

“We love cards. We play crib too,” Rose said. “ He’s skunked me and I’ve skunked him, it’s always a good time.”

Yet at first, they always sat on opposite sides of the table. Since both of them are a little hard-of-hearing, they were always reaching across the table to get each others attention.

“So I got them to start sitting beside each other so they didn’t have to reach across,” Shirley Reeves 61 said, mutual friend and live-in resident. “That’s when I started noticing them getting closer.”

One day after dinner Rose noticed Bob didn’t look so well. She asked if he would like a cold cloth on his forehead and he eagerly replied yes.

“He was so happy, he looked like he won a pot of gold,” Rose said.

From then on, Rose and Bob started to court each other. They would secretly hold hands under the table

Bob said. Playing cards, bingo,

holding hands and loving one another continue to be some of their favourite past times.

“I can’t believe every-one is so happy for us. I’ve

while playing cards and were even caught a few times by staff necking out-side under the gazebo or on the couch in the laun-dry room.

“We all feel they were meant for each other because they just came together so nicely and truly love each other,” Shirley said.

Together, the couple has six children, 15 grandchil-dren, 13 great grandchil-dren and two great great grandchildren. Both of them were married just once before. Similarly, Bob was married for 62 years, Rose for 60 years and both lost their previous spouses to dementia.

“I know we’ll be happy because we are so much alike in our old age. The way we think and our idea of things is so close,” Rose said.

The two plan to spend the rest of their days together.

“It would be nice to have Rose for another 60 years but time goes by so fast it’s hard to believe the last ten years and how fast it’s gone. The older you get the faster time goes. You’d think it be the other way around but it’s not,”

never had a life like that, I’m just so happy,” Rose said. “Right now is pure joy and it will be joy as long as we’re both alive.”

The honeymoon is booked for room 108 at Riverside Place.

Dear Editor,

I currently reside in Fraser Lake, BC, living in this area for about 25 years. My husband and I are avid outdoor enthusiasts and are compelled to write this letter opposing the gov-ernment’s potential decision to allocate a larger share of hunting permits to guide outfi tters and a smaller share of hunting permits to BC resident hunters. My husband and I have been submitting applications for limited entry draws for years and years, and for most of these years, have been unsuccessful at receiving a draw. As an example, my husband has been submitting an application for bison since its inception and has yet to receive a tag. He has been submitting applications for sheep for years and years, and has been successful only twice. Now with this potential larger allocation for guide outfi tters, our odds of being drawn will be even further reduced. While guide outfi tting is an important industry in our province, residents’ rights should not be sacrifi ced in favour of non-residents’. We as tax payers sup-port this province – non-residents do not.

We urge you to please give this decision further consideration and rescind it in support of the people that have made this province what it is today. For those of you that oppose this allocation decision, there is an on-line petition on the BC Wildlife Federation website: bcwf.net.

Wendy Cech, Fraser Lake.

No, to more non-resident hunting permits

A poem by Rebecca Watson

Snow, you’re so beautiful even fun to play with, but once I get a feel for cold your beauty, it’s a myth.

You think it’s funny when mycar gets stuck in the medium,You think it’s funny when my driveway turns into a comedian.

I spent an hour last nightcleaning you away,only to look this morning to fi nd you’ve doubled anyway.

Snow, it’s time to go

It’s not particularly nice when I open my car door,to fi nd you’ve covered the seat and oh so much more.My hair is fl at and greasyafter doing it up nice,I curse you sand of winter you will pay the price.

The groundhog says there will be six more weeks, of torturous foot soakers and rosy red cheeks.

Well I say enoughbringith thee warm weather,and when the snow meltswe’ll all rejoice together.

Local boy loves to helpREBECCA WATSONCaledonia Courier

Diego Johnson, 8, of Fort St. James is not your typical eight year old boy. He plays hockey, loves ski doing, rides his bike everywhere, but for whatever reason, he also likes to hangout at the seniors home with me, Anna Prestmo said, aka grandma Anna who works at Riverside Place in Vanderhoof.

“He straps on the apron and helps set the tables, serves food, and sits for lunch with the seniors. He also helps to get them from their rooms, especially the ones with wheelchairs, he likes to push them in their chairs,” Ms. Prestmo said.

Diego likes to have lunch with the seniors at Riverside Place and even picks a different table to sit at each time in order to chat up all the residents. He also makes home visits, something the seniors can’t get enough of.

One day Diego went to get Mary Brandes for lunch from her room when she used to live at Riverside Place. Ms. Prestmo went to check on him to make sure he went to the right room and overheard Mary ask Diego how her hair looked and if he wouldn’t mind combing it for her.

“And here he was combing her hair. It’s something so nice to see, a young kid do that for an older lady,” Ms. Prestmo said. “I thought hockey players had a rough-and-tough per-sona but he just has such a sweet side.”

Diego is seemingly just like every other eight-year-old boy except for his fondness of old folks. He remem-bers things about them and asks them if their feeling better when he knows the time before they were feeling ill. He doesn’t even mind when they reach out to hug him, Ms. Prestmo said.

“I enjoy going to visit the seniors because it’s fun playing with them. I like to talk with them, ask them questions, go to their rooms and just keep them company,” Diego said, who even has nick names for some of the residents.

The trophée is for the Sharper Edge Tournament in Prince George last spring, Diego’s team won first place.

For example, Bob Ray is a.k.a Bob Jr, Bob Sta-pleton is a.k.a Bob S and Rose is a.k.a Rosy.

“When I was laid up in the wheelchair he wheeled me up and down the hallway. I gave him a couple dollars but he didn’t want to take it,” Bob Ray said. “He’s come visit me at least two or three times since then.”

Diego knows most of the other seniors by name and for his birth-day they all signed a card for him, which made him ecstatic, Luisa Johnson said, Diego’s mother.

“Diego really is your typical boy, very happy and active. He loves sports and playing out-side. But on the other hand he can be very caring and compassion-ate and affectionate. It’s sometimes hard to see that side of him because he’s such a go getter

and wants to score, but he loves to go down to the seniors home and actually asks to go there. When he talks about it he doesn’t act like he’s going to help or volun-teer, he thinks of it as he’s going to visit his friends,” Ms. Johnson said.

Diego’s great grand-mother Paula Walsh

lives at the home but now Diego’s visits aren’t just for her. His charismatic and caring personality is well-known at the home and has made a lasting impression on many of the seniors.

“It’s different having a young person come help out,” Gordon Barkema said, live-in resident. “He does a great job.”

The Friends of the Fort St. James National Historic Site held their AGM and historical Presentation on Thursday January 29, 2015. Chair, Pat Short gave a short report on the activities of the Friends over the past season. We also had the financial report and minutes from last year̀ s meeting. One change that has come about for this year; the Friends’ memberships have been cut in half, the price this year is only five dollars. If you get yours by May 1, 2015 the Friends will pay for a portion of your park’s pass. You can purchase your Friends membership and park pass from any board member. Election of Directors was completed with the addition of one director by acclimation, Terry Houghton. All last year̀ s directors; Pat Short, Phil Short, Gerry Ford, Marj Ford, Susan Salo-kannel, Lenore Aspell, Margaret-Ann Houghton and Terri-Ann Houghton stood for another year.

The highlight of the evening was a presentation by Pat and Louis Gauthier. It was a film of a trip they took on the Baldy Trail in search of Hugh Gillis’ grave. The film was well worth the view; if you were not able to attend you can find it on YouTube. Before we got into watching the film, Sharon Buck who has traveled the Baldy Trail by horseback four times, read a poem by her father Earl Buck. He used to freight over the Baldy Trail to Manson Creek and wrote a poem about the ill-fated Hugh Gillis. A ques-tion and answer session over refreshments followed the film. Pat and Louis brought along artifacts found on the historic Baldy Trail and Sharon shared photos of her Father freighting that same trail. I look forward to the upcoming season at the Historic Park, with its many events that the Friends help support. Come out and join us, the Historic Site opens June 1, 2015

From normal blues to debilitating depression:

recognizing the signs and

symptoms to help your child or teen

By Dr. David Smith

We all feel sad from time to time. It is a normal and appropriate response to disappointment and loss. But how do you tell whether your child or teen is experiencing normal sadness or suffering from clinical (or major) depression that may need expert help?

Telling the difference can be dif-ficult as the symptoms of depression can be different in children and teens from adults. In young chil-dren, it may express itself by being excessively clingy, frequently cry-ing, expressing fear that they or oth-ers will die, losing interest in toys or friends, losing interest in school or refusing to go, frequent headaches, stomachaches or feeling sick.

In older children and teens, along with many of those symptoms can come others like withdrawal and social isolation. Other symptoms can be a lack of energy, extreme bore-dom, inability to concentrate or com-municate, loss of friends, or lack of desire to see friends. Changes in pat-terns of eating and sleeping (either too much or too little) are common signs, as is being unable to get out of bed or off the couch. If your teen has previously been involved in sports and hobbies, depression may show up as an inability to enjoy or partake in activities that used to bring plea-sure. Also common are feelings of excessive regret, guilt and remorse and increased irritability, aggression and hostility, as well as extreme sensitivity to rejection, criticism or failure. Sometimes untreated anxiety can turn into depression when the child or youth feels overwhelmed by their fears. One or two such symp-toms usually aren’t enough to make a diagnosis, but a pattern of sadness or loss of interests or pleasure com-bined with three or four such symp-toms extending over two weeks or longer is more suggestive of clinical depression.

For parents, some of these symp-toms can seem at times like nor-mal teenage angst, lack of motiva-tion or even misbehaviour. In fact, up until about two decades ago, it was thought that depression was

primarily an adult disorder that rarely affected children or teens. Any symptoms displayed were put down to “a phase,” moodiness, over-dramatization, or self-indulgence. “Snap out of it!” many a parent would bark — thinking erroneously that cajoling or scolding might help.

Now we know much better. Depression is a serious mental health issue that affects about two per cent of BC children and adolescents every year. It is more common in girls, but it may be that depressed boys and teenage males display other behav-iours like aggression, substance use, and delinquency, which can mask the depression.

The risk of experiencing an epi-sode of depression rises with age and with family history. While some-times depression comes seemingly out of the blue, it can also be trig-gered in susceptible youth (with a genetic predisposition or with low self-esteem, perfectionist tenden-cies, for example) by trauma, anxi-ety, guilt or regret, or the death of a loved one or other significant loss.

On its own, depression is bad enough, but its hopelessness and despair, with the inability to see a brighter future, can also lead to suicide, which is the second leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds.

Fortunately, depression is highly treatable and youth are more likely to respond well to treatment if they receive it early. Treatment can con-sist of psychotherapy to teach youths how to address thoughts and behav-iours that can lead to depression. Also, anti-depressant medication can be very effective at reversing depres-sion and keeping relapses at bay.

If your child seems to be show-ing symptoms of depression, talk to your family doctor, a mental health professional or the mental health clinicians through the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD).Call Service BC at 1 800 663-7867 to find the MCFD office nearest to you. Their experts will screen for depression and help your child access the most appropriate treatment if needed.

We do know that healthy diets,

regular exercise, good sleep, and the ability to talk about problems with people who care are all pro-tective against depression or relapses. Information and support are available through a number of websites, such as: ok2bblue.com, dwdonline.ca, heretohelp.ca; mindyourmind.ca; keltyresources.ca, mindcheck.ca, openmind.ca.

For youth with suicidal thoughts please call the BC youth crisis line 1-800-suicide, visit youthinbc.ca to chat with a counsellor in real time, or go to the Emergency Department of your nearest hospital.

ICBC frauds include fi res, faked crashesBY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

If you've ever had a car insurance claim greeted with suspicion by ICBC, there are a few hundred reasons for that attitude.

B.C.'s basic car insurance monopoly has released a report on fraud attempts from 2014, part of an estimated 10 to 15 per cent of insurance claims it says in-volve fraud or exaggeration. During the year, ICBC investigators referred 131 cas-es to Crown prosecutors for charges, with convictions in nine out of 10 of them.

ICBC highlighted some of the efforts to obtain insurance coverage that should not have been paid, and how investigators responded.

• A customer reported his truck was stolen at a movie theatre. The vehicle was recovered, burnt. A vehicle inspection showed the burnt truck had serious me-chanical problems, contrary to what the customer told ICBC. The customer's cell-phone records revealed that he was at the scene where the burnt vehicle was found.

The customer pleaded guilty to providing a false statement, was fi ned $4,000 and ordered to pay ICBC back more than $3,000 for investigative and claims costs.

• A customer who was prohibited from driving claimed his vehicle had been stolen at the time it was involved in a three-vehicle crash. Forensic testing of resi-due on the vehicle's driver-side airbag revealed a DNA match to the customer and proved he was the driver at the time of the crash. The customer was found guilty of providing a false statement, fi ned $1,000 and ordered to pay ICBC back more than $18,000 in claims costs and total loss payments for the other two vehicles involved.

• A customer told ICBC his Honda Civic was parked outside his home when it was struck by an unknown vehicle that fl ed the scene. Damage was not consistent with a hit-and-run and paint fl ecks matching the customer's Civic were found em-bedded in a vehicle from another hit-and-run claim.

When confronted with this evidence, the driver of the Civic admitted to making a false claim, as he had fl ed the crash scene after his vehicle struck another. Fine: $1,000, plus $5,600 in claim and repair costs.

• A customer with only basic insurance and an expired driver's licence rear-ended another vehicle. The customer asked the driver in the other vehicle to tell ICBC the crash happened a

day later so she could buy optional insurance, which would cover the damage to her vehicle. The other driver refused.

The underinsured customer then bought optional insurance on her way home from the crash. She was assessed the $7,400 cost of repairs to both vehicles.

Aftermath of a three-vehicle crash in North Delta, October 2014. When emergency responders are called, accidents are independently evaluated, but when they aren't, vehicle owners some-times attempt to alter the circumstances for their own benefit.

RCMP

intercept

robbery at

Overwaitea

REBECCA WATSON

Caledonia Courier

The co-accused are Deryl MOORE and Mat-

thew JONES, both from Prince George.

At 2 am on Jan. 15 a suspicious vehicle by

Overwaitea’s unloading dock caught the atten-

tion of Fort St. James RCMP. As the police ap-

proached the grocery store, the truck sped off

leaving an alleged partner-in-crime behind. The

man on-scene was immediately arrested as he

was blatantly caught with multiple items of food

in the middle of the evident robbery. Within sec-

onds of his arrest, dispatch notifi ed the offi cers

of a worker inside the store who had also been

robbed. The police went inside to fi nd a female

custodial worker who had been put inside a

walk-in freezer after the crooks stole her wallet.

There she waited, nearly an hour, until she no

longer herd the thieves. She was then able to get

out of the freezer and call police.

“When the guy in the truck sped off we had

one man in custody and had to investigate in

store. We had to take one issue at a time but we

had the vehicle plate. Sometimes good things

happen quickly,” Sgt. Nielsen said.

Shortly after assisting the custodian, police

received a report that a male suspect had ap-

proached two houses claiming ‘his truck was

stuck in the ditch and he was cold’, asking the

home owners to let him inside. RCMP went out

to investigate and recognized the truck from

Overwaitea. The male driver was arrested and

both perps were taken to the Fort St. James at-

tachment. Later, the suspects truck was indeed

found stuck in the ditch by the National Historic

Site. Evidence collected has shown the two crooks

got in Overwaitea through the front door which

had no apparent damage with no weapons found

on their person. A number of items were taken

from the store including meat and other types

of food with multiple items thrown around. The

custodial worker was not severely harmed in the

process but a freezer was damaged (separate

from the freezer she was put in).

The two males are currently in custody and

have since had their fi rst appearance on Jan. 19.

Their next court date is scheduled for Feb. 2 in

Fort St. James. Although the Crown has not for-

mally completed the charging process, the two

will likely face charges of robbery, unlawful

confi nement and break-and-entering.

“We’re just thankful no one was hurt. It’s

back to business as usual,” Ryan Witgez said,

store manager.
