On January 6, 2016, the Committee tabled a report with the Assembly on the results of its review. This report contains 66 Committee recommendations resulting from our audit work. At September 30, 2016, the Government had fully implemented 83% of these 66 recommendations, and partially implemented 91% of the remaining recommendations. At September 30, 2016, the Committee had not reviewed several years of annual reports of CIC and two of its subsidiaries. 2.0 INTRODUCTION This chapter provides an overview of the role and responsibilities of the Committee, focusing on those responsibilities related to our Office’s work.

  • Barrel Racing Event in Honor of Jacey Lee by KARA KINNA March 4, 2021 Was a Trag- Ic Day for the Family and Friends of Jacey Lee
    August 2021 • Volume 14 Number 8 Memorial event August 28 in Spy Hill: Barrel racing event in honor of Jacey Lee BY KARA KINNA March 4, 2021 was a trag- ic day for the family and friends of Jacey Lee. The seemingly healthy 25-year- old went to bed at her home in Spy Hill on March 3 but didn’t wake up the next morning. Her mother, Michelle Fredbjornson, says the doc- tors think Jacey passed away from an adult ver- sion of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) known as Sudden Adult Death Syn- drome (SADS) or Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome (SUNDS) when it happens in adults while they sleep. While the death left a sud- den, unexpected and gap- ing hole in the lives of those Jacey Lee loved horses, barrel racing and who knew Jacey, Fredbjorn- hunting, among many other things. son says Jacey’s spirit and love of life was so strong that something needed to be done to commemorate her. The 25-year-old was deeply passionate about many things—music, fam- ily, friends, hunting, wood- working—but her love of barrel racing, horse riding, rodeo, and rounding up cattle were so strong that she lived and breathed the cowgirl life. For that reason, the Jacey Lee Memorial Race will be held in Spy Hill on Satur- day, August 28 in memory of Jacey. Organized by Fredbjorn- son with lots of help and do- nations from family, friends cows, she enjoyed fall roundup, bringing cows home, prac- and acquaintances—people who knew and loved Jacey— ticing in the arena all the time, going on trail rides.
