But her journey has been long, sometimes difficult, sometimes beautiful. With all roads leading her back to a home in the Cariboo. In 1941 Canada was at war. Able-bodied men and women were in the military serving their country, many with families as well. Jean's father, Gordon Gibbons, was one of those soldiers, leaving Jean's mother to take care of the large family. Jean, who was nine, had nine brothers and sisters. Times were tough and to get the most of her husbands pay, Jean's could, the man continued to follow him. It was his father. Only able to stay two days, the family was soon back on their own. By fall, the family had moved into Quesnel, renting a house on Reid Street behind the Quesnel Hotel. "We went to school at Helen D i x o n , " Jean said. "I can also remember swimming in Baker Creek and picking berries on T w o Mile Flat." The family spent about a year living in Wells before settling in Williams Lake for a time. In order to augment the family's meager income, Jean's mother took a job in the Chilcotin. The children were split between a convent school in Williams Lake and a Boys Catholic school in Duncan on Vancouver Island, « • RNANGIAL GROUP ING Key Life Finaiicial Group Inc. has moved their head office to: 1591 4th i^ehue, Prince George, B.C.

"Wc took the train to Ashcroft where we stayed in a hotel, then boarded the IT stage, which was a touring car, to Marguerite," Jean said. She was the .second oldest of the eight children and said everyone was happy to be there. "Wc could run and play," Jean said. She remembers a surprise visit from their father. I ler brother had walked six miles to Kelly's Store and as he returned, he was dismayed to find a man following him. Running as fast as he W e d n e s d a y , J a n u a r y 20, 2010 "The boys weren't happy and they ran away," she said. "At the convent it was also pretty Jran grim." Jean's path veered away from her family when she was placed in a foster home in Bouchie Lake at the age of 14. "They were good people," she said. "I took Grade 7 and 8 in Bouchie Lake then back to Helen Dixon for high school." And just past her 18th birthday, Jean was back in Vancouver taking a telephone operators course. Jean returned to Quesnel in 1951 where she worked for the fledgling telephone company. "I had friends here and I valued that tremendously," she said. She met and married her first husband in 1951 and together they France had four children. The family lived in West Quesnel, however, when Jean had the chance to sw,ip her town house for acreage in 1963, she jumped at the opportunity. "We had cows, chickens, horses, it was great for the children," she said. In 1972, Jean once again found herself alone and with the help of friends and neighbours learned to cope with the challenges. Jean finally found the happy life she had been looking for all her life when she met Del Prance, "There was mutual "Coming back to Quesnel was just the tonic I needed." respect, something I hadn't experienced very often." Jean and Del were married June 29,1973 and for the next 36 years, Jean enjoyed a wonderful life. "We enjoyed everything we did together, golfing, traveling and life in general," she said. After Del died in 2008, Jean was looking to .start the next chapter in her life and she chose to do that in Quesnel. With children and grandchildren here, as well as many friends she had maintained contact with, Quesnel was home and she's happy to be here. " M y family and friends arc everything to me," Jean said with a smile. "Coming back to Quesnel was just the tonic I needed." whose level was governed by the two river levels. The gardener who worked that land used the warm water to urge his crops along. This could be the hot spring. When he died he was buried and later, as was the custom, his bones were returned to China. The tree by his vacant grave is almost smothered by shrubbery at its base. I could not find his name. Andy is an historian regular columnist. Motherwell amateur and Observer Train drivers John Howarth and Ibraitti Ashow love a good line in books and live readings, as well as on the tracks. Howarth has helped organize two "poetry trains" forVIARaiL In 2003 a group o f poets traveled from Winnipeg to Prince George with the train sold out. The 2004 poets traveled from Prince George to Prince Rupert. In both cases, they gave readings as they traveled west and i n small communities where they stopped along the way. Howarth was involved with the 1999 C B C Fred Eaglesmith train as well. "These were amazing trips," he said. " A n d the passengers really enjoyed the experience. I think the B . C , government is underestimating the public's appreciation of literature when it slashes arts funding." Ashow agrees. "John and I have the privilege of seeing a lot of B . C . and Canada through our work. It's beautiful country, but it's empty without stories, songs and poems that originate throughout the land." Ibraim was a student at B C I T who now works as a conductor for the Hudson's Bay Railway in Manitoba. "I always read B . C . BookWorld," says Howarth. "And I like to shop at stores like Books & Company in Prince George. Instead of cutting funding, though, the government ought to be increasing its support for our home-grown publishing industry, like it would the forest industry, transportation or any other sector of our economy."

Following Friday night's 6 - 4 heartbreaking loss in front of more than 900 fans at the Vault, winning, never mind by five goals, seemed to be a tall order for the Millionaires. "We were disappointed, we were mad, and we were fired up," M i l l s ' captain Trever Hertz said of the mind-set of the team as they headed to Prince George for the last game in the C N C Challenge Cup series. Following Friday QbservefJieporter The Quesnel MiiUonaires lay claim to the Colle|e of N e w Caledonia Challenge Cup Saturday thanks to a six-gbai outburst in the third period en route to a 9 - 2 rout of the host Prince George Spruce Kings. The Millionaires had not claimed the Challenge Cup since 2003. • Going into Saturday night's game in Prince George the Spruce Kings held a 5 - 4 \ edge in games and had a 3 6 - 3 2 goal advantage. To win the cup not night's disappointing game the message to the players was to keep the game simple and to play responsibly, Watson said. To their credit the M i l l s focused and followed the coach's game plan, and took a 3 - 2 lead going into the third period. The Millionaires did not let up in the third period, and their effort finally paid off when Hertz scored just one minute into the final frame. The M i l l s then extended their lead to 7 - . 2 with three power pliay goals from Hertz and Jpshua Desmarais each scoring their second goal of the game and another by Tyler French, his third goal of the game. French, who also an assist on the night, was given the game's first star. The last time French scored was Nov. 11, a span of 16 games. "It wasn't happening for me for a while there," French said. "It felt pretty good, I hadn't scored in quite a while," a relieved French said, glad to put an end to the scoring drought. Spencer Graboski added his eighth goal of the season to push the score to 8 - 2, and Eliot Raibl rounded out the scoring with a power play goal, his fifth point of the period. ; "It was weird, it just seemed like whoever I passed the puck to put it in the net," Raibl said of the accomplishment. "It's the most points I've ever had in a game," a smiling Raibl added. Although the lopsided w i n gave the M i l l s bragging rights over the Spruce Kings, the players stressed the importance o^f the win. • "We were pleased to w i n the cup for the fans," Hertz said, "but the most important thing was the two points for the win." "Every game now is like the playoffs," Raibl added. "We need to hit the playoffs on a high note, have more games like Saturday night and fewer like Friday night."
