Chilcotin River fishery remains open Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer The First Nations fishery on the Chilcotin River will continue Chief Joe Alphonse Tsilhqot’in National Government chair said. In mid August, Fisheries and Oceans Canada approached the TNG to discuss the possibility of closing the fishery, but the First Nations said they would not accept a closure, Alphonse said. “We told them we would have a road block,” Alphonse said. “We said we’d prevent fisheries officers from getting to the river and we would keep the river
open for our fishermen.” The rationale for the closure was that the water temperature was too warm and the fish were all dying, yet First Nations weren’t seeing those impacts. “The fish were not dying,” Alphonse said. First Nations in the Chilcotin have a 24 hour seven-day fishery and the only way members will accept closures is for conservation concerns, he added. Les Jantz, Kamloops DFO area director for B.C. Interior and Fraser River Salmon panel co-chair, said the fishery closure was contemplated because warm summer water levels were lower and water temperatures were
higher than had been seen in recent years. “We ended up experiencing record water temperatures for a fair number of days in late July and August which was right at the time when our summer run sockeye, which was the bulk of the returning fish this year, were entering the Fraser and moving upstream.” Temperatures ranged in the 21 to 22 C degree range, levels seen only in 1998 and 2004 during the last 20 years. “Normally when the water is that warm in the Fraser, we see en route mortalities as they move up. Some make it a long way up, others don’t make it very far,”
Jantz said. “It depends on the condition of the fish and a variety of different things.” Predictions were for a 70 per cent loss. “When we have conditions like that we keep more fish in the river so that we can get to our escapement objectives for different stocks,” Jantz said. As discussions progressed, the weather started to change and water temperatures began to drop, so there were some changing circumstances and initial information from the assessment program in the upper Chilko region suggested the numbers were strong, Jantz added.

Police raid gun collection Jeff Nagel Black Press A Tatla Lake man may face numerous firearms and weaponsrelated charges after a police raid that netted close to 200 firearms and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition. In early June the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. were tipped that the 63-year-old man, a long-time resident of the community between Williams Lake and Bella Coola, was trafficking firearms and prohibited devices.
Officers say the man was allegedly selling assault-style semi-automatic rifles with overcapacity magazines, amongst other guns and weapons. He was arrested at his home on the 16400 block of Highway 20 on Aug. 23. A search warrant resulted in police finding and seizing 183 firearms of various makes, models, and calibres, along with tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and prohibited devices such as over-capacity magazines. CFSEU officials say some of the weapons
have a street value of several thousand dollars. “Many of these guns are capable of firing rounds that could pass through vehicles, doors, walls and even body armour,” CFSEU-BC spokesperson Sergeant Lindsey Houghton said. “That is an unacceptable risk to the public and the police. While this seizure is not believed to be tied to gang activity at this time, it appears that these guns and ammunition were destined to be sold to the highest bidder and the fear was, had we not
acted immediately, that the guns could eventually make their way into the hands of violent criminals around B.C.” Some of the weapons seized included ARtype rifles, SKS semiautomatic rifles and handguns. Investigators are now attempting to determine the origin of the guns and forensically examining each one. The man arrested, who has no criminal record, has been released from custody pending the continuation of the investigation and charges from Crown counsel.
RCMP arrest three in Saturday chase Three people were arrested and held over for court after a police chase on Highway 20 Saturday, Aug. 31. RCMP began conducting patrols near the Sheep Creek bridge after a vehicle was stolen from Alexis Creek. At 3 a.m. police located and attemped to stop the vehicle, but the driver sped off toward Alexis Creek. Police pursued the vehicle for 120 kilometres before Alexis Creek RCMP spikebelted the truck. *** RCMP are seek-
ing the public’s assistance after a horse was shot near the 4000 Block of Highway 97 near Wildwood, some time between 8:30 p.m. Aug. 26 and 1 p.m. Aug. 27. The horse was killed on private, enclosed land. *** Around 4:15 a.m. Monday, Sept. 3, PD Security reported to police a fence had been broken into at Thomson Rivers University (TRU) on Western Avenue. A property representative for TRU attended and realized a Bob-
cat skid steer had been stolen. Police followed skid tracks that crossed Western Avenue into the dairy fields down to the Soda Creek railway tracks going north bound and located the Bobcat stuck in
an area just below the Soda Creek Road. Police suspect a lone person was responsible because there were tracks leaving the skid steer up to trailer park area on the Old Soda Creek Road.
Burning ban lifted Effective at noon on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the open burning prohibition in the Cariboo Fire Centre was rescinded due to a decreased risk of wildfires. Although open
fires will be permitted throughout the Cariboo Fire Centre, the Wildfire Management Branch is asking the public to remain vigilant with any type of fire use, including open burning and campfires.

Electoral election riding change in Cariboo Chilcotin LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune It was announced recently that the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia has concluded its work of redrawing the province’s federal electoral map. Cariboo Prince George MP Dick Harris said last week that there is only one small change in his riding. “In the Bella Coola Valley there is a lane that divides Hagensborg and Bella Coola, and up until this latest change, my riding was on the east side, and Skeena Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen’s riding was on the west side,” he said. “Last time these changes were
made, I suggested that they give the whole Bella Coola Valley to one or the other of us — now he has the whole thing.” Harris said that his riding ends now at Anahim Lake, and that he’s glad to see the change. “When they look at these ridings they take population, cultural and demographic similarities and historical experiences into consideration, and this change makes sense,” he continued. “I have one of the best ridings in all of Canada.” Cullen said he never understood the Bella Coola Valley divide in the first place. “I’ve been going to Bella Coola since 2003 and I love the communi-

The riding changes are made to ensure that no area is under-represented, according to Harris. “That means that if one riding had 110,000 residents and the one next to it has 155,000, in the latter case those residents could be underrepresented,” he said. Cullen also noted that the change between the west Chilcotin and the Bella Coola Valley is very dramatic. “You want people to be associated to their riding, and nature comes into it as much as culture and history,” he explained. “This electoral divide came up during a major flooding crisis in the Bella Coola Valley
— people were looking for help and they came to me. It makes much more sense for the whole valley to be one riding.” He said that he wants it to be easy for people to vote. “I want, despite your political affiliation, for you to believe in democratic values,” he continued. “We want to re-double our efforts to restore confidence.” The commission’s office in Vancouver is now closed. Requests for information on the next steps in the redistribution process can be directed to Elections Canada’s Media Relations Office. To consult the report, visit www.federal-redistribution.ca.
Missing Cariboo ranch dogs found at Chilliwack SPCA LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Cariboo resident Cori Lamarche said her two boxer dogs disappeared from the 137 Mile Ranch area during a thunderstorm on Aug. 1 and ended up at the Chilliwack SPCA the next day. She brought her dogs home last week, and notes that she still has unanswered questions. “This just doesn’t feel right to me,” she said. She explained that the dogs were spotted on the night of the storm by a neighbour, headed north. “We went on the Williams Lake SPCA website, as well as Missing BC Pets. We got a message from BC Pets the next morning saying that there were two boxers at the Chilliwack SPCA matching our inquiry. ‘That’s impossible,’ I thought. ‘They couldn’t have made it to Chilliwack.” “I phoned the SPCA
in Chilliwack and asked about the dogs; I was directed to their website and saw my dogs’ photos. I phoned the shelter manager and said ‘Those are my dogs,’ and she told me to come and get them, and told me the fee I would need to pay when I picked them up.” Chilliwack shelter manager Ivanna Ferris said on Aug. 2 they received a phone call from a woman travelling from Prince George to Vancouver, phoning from near Hope, saying that she found two female boxers without collars or tags on the side of the road. She told the shelter she couldn’t leave the dogs on the road and couldn’t find a shelter nearby. “We said we’d take the dogs, and stayed open until she arrived. The woman gave us a Prince George address and left the animals with us,” Ferris explained. “Three days later we got the phone call from Cori

Meisha the boxer dog, and her mother Alia spent more than two weeks in the Chilliwack SPCA shelter. Lamarche saying we had her dogs – a mother and daughter.” Ferris said she also wondered how the dogs had gotten from Williams Lake to Hope. “We repeatedly tried to get more information from the woman who found them, but our phone calls were not answered,” she said. “The younger female boxer was in heat and we could tell that the two dogs had been actively bred, but were in good
health and good condition.” It took more than two weeks for Lamarche to pick up her dogs in Chilliwack — something that was a source of frustration for her and for SPCA shelter staff. “We were in the middle of moving and my husband had just broken his arm, and we are five hours away,” Lamarche said. “The manager in Chilliwack started getting upset with me
because I couldn’t immediately show up for the dogs and she refused to tell me who dropped them off or how they got there.” Ferris said they informed Lamarche about the woman from Prince George, including where the woman said she had found the dogs, adding that the organization’s privacy policy prevents them from divulging the names of people who surrender animals to the shelter. “We do not share information in our files, such as people who surrender animals, adopters, cruelty complaints, and so on, to ensure that people’s personal information is kept private,” stated BCSPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “Many of the animals we take in are related to cases of abuse and violence to animals and so we also don’t want to put anyone at risk by indicating the new location of an animal who
has been seized from a dangerous situation/ person.” Lamarche said she was also unhappy about the fees she had to pay to get her dogs. “I was distraught. I’ve had those dogs since they were born. I ended up sending an e-mail to BCSPCA and was told, ‘Too bad. You have to pay to get your dogs back.’” As per usual practice when an animal arrives at the shelter, Ferris said they vaccinated the dogs — a cost of $100. “When I first spoke to the owner we were at $160 for three or four days of boarding. She said she’d try to get a ride for the dogs, but no one showed up,” Ferris explained. “The days added up, and when she finally came to get the dogs, two weeks later, we waived some of the fees and she only paid $250 — the vaccines and $150 for boarding fees.” She also said that
they waived their policy to consider an animal adoptable and abandoned four days after contact with the owner. “The dogs were very happy to see her when she came to get them,” she said. “Our goal is to ensure that the 29,000 animals who are brought into our care each year are provided with the veterinary treatment, rehabilitation and attention they deserve and that we can find them a loving home where they will be treated with care, affection and respect,” Chortyk continued. “Thankfully, we have many, many success stories at our shelters. We see ‘happy endings’ every day in our shelters and we are so grateful to our amazing staff and volunteers and to our supporters who make our work possible. As a charity we rely entirely on community support to carry out our services, so it is definitely a team effort.”

VIEWPOINTS Fast food choices were simpler in the good old days
O
ur world is fast paced with almost instant communication in most locales, worldwide shopping (Internet) at your fingertips and fast food obtainable in some of the strangest locations. In a recent Meatingplace article, journalist Terri Johnston noted that the Subway restaurant-chain (first shop-1965 in Bridgeport, Connecticut) just opened its 40,000th shop (Ipswich, England) and since the start of 2013, have opened
Cattle Fodder Liz Twan
1,761 new locations, making them the most prolific fast-food establishment in the industry; ahead of their nearest fast-food competitor by about 5,500 franchiselocations. There are stand-alone Subway shops a well as outlets in gas stations, hospitals, health clubs, train stations, movie theatres and a few of
the most unusual; a German riverboat, a Buffalo, NY church and a California car dealership. Thankfully, nearly all franchise-stops feature several beef products on sandwich menuboards (40,000 outlets equals many pounds of beef daily). For a time we had two Subway outlets (also two Tim Hortons) in our fair city. Wow there is but one of each. In addition, there is McDonald’s (two outlets), A&W, Dairy Queen, Kentucky Fried Chick-
en, several pizza chains and numerous other independent restaurants that offer some type of fast-food. Yet, still folks complain about the lack of choice, wishing (variously) for an Arby’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, White Spot or others. To those who bemoan the lack, hark back to the good old days (my youth) in Williams Lake where going out for fast food (a rare treat) meant either, a trip to the Corral Drive-In (near Signal Point) for chicken or a burger with fries in
Positive economic numbers to report as summer ends
T
here are some great economic numbers to report as the summer ends: As of the end of July, the city has issued building permits valued at over $10.5 million. Not only had the city issued just $4 million in permits by the middle of last year, but we have surpassed the $8.4 million in total permit value for 2012. We haven’t seen values this high in the middle of the year since 2008! I presented on behalf of the city to the Review Panel for the proposed New Prosperity mine, and participated
From the Mayor’s Chair Kerry Cook
in a site visit to Fish Lake. I highlighted that it was important for this to be a respectful and informative process. The city’s position has always been that we support the project for economic reasons as long as it meets environmental assessment requirements and has respectful consultation with First Nations. The city views the mine as an opportunity to provide new jobs,
training, and enhanced economic activity for both municipalities and First Nations communities in our region. The Panel now has a maximum of 70 days to submit a report to the federal Minister of Environment. The federal government will then have a maximum of 120 days to decide if New Prosperity can proceed. We are very fortunate to host a number of talented musicians throughout the summer at our weekly performances in the Park. I would like to thank Angela Sommer and the Central Cariboo

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
It’s harvest time
Ad hominem rears its ugly head
T
his is where I came in — writing for the Wednesday Tribune many years ago. There always are so many things to write about it’s hard to know where to pounce. Syria — is WWIII in the works? BC Hydro — will it be sold? What about pesticides killing bees or the issues with the Fukushima nuclear plant? Lots of local stuff, too, but while I was deciding, ad hominem raised its ugly head. Again. The dictionary defines ad hominem as “appealing to one’s prejudices, emotions, or special interests rather than French to one’s Connection intellect or Diana French reason; attacking an opponent’s character rather than answering his argument.” In other words, if you can’t, or don’t want to discredit the message, discredit the messenger. Spew misinformation, bury the merits and de-merits of the issue, damage reputations, and throw logic out the window. Throwing mud at the adversary is easier than justifying your own position. Working for the newspaper, I met and interviewed people from all walks of life. It taught me to be careful about making judgements, and one thing I’ve learned is people who have the least, share the most. Most of us live in social silos with family, friends, co-workers, people who share our lifestyles and beliefs. Circles do overlap, and I don’t like to generalize, but we usually don’t know much about the people outside our circles, and we can get the wrong ideas. For instance, how do we really know who pays taxes and who doesn’t? Who volunteers or who gets paid? Does it matter? Ad hominem used to make me angry. It’s such a cop-out. Maybe it’s my old age, but now it makes me sad that even in small communities we don’t get to know each other better. Or worse, even try. Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.

These changes will see the Tribune, which has been the area’s voice of record for 83 consecutive years, let go of its long-running Tuesday and Thursday subscription-based editions to offer a free, weekly edition of the Tribune coming out on Wednesdays starting today. Additionally, Black Press has brought its more recently acquired product, the 15-plus-year-old Cariboo Advisor, into the fold as well to bring more news and feature articles and weekly flyers to our communities on Fridays. Besides publishing two newspapers a week, we will also be your source for breaking news and events around the clock with our free web-based news at www.wltribune.com. Life is all about change and we here at the Trib are embracing this new format which
will allow our editorial staff to once again do what we like best, which is to delve deep into the stories that shape all our lives. Editorially, readers can continue to enjoy the work of our resident “sports guy,” award winning journalist Greg Sabatino. Award-winning reporter Monica Lamb-Yorski will continue to bring you the latest in features and hard news affecting our lives in the forestry and mining sectors as well as the weekly goings on at city hall and more. A longtime anchor in the newsroom, Gaeil Farrar will continue to cover the arts and community scene while also helping to steer the ship internally as the department’s assistant editor. Angie Mindus will be coming back home to the Tribune as acting editor over the next year to oversee the newspaper’s current transition. Mindus, who started her journalism career at the Tribune almost 20 years ago, is an award-winning photographer and news writer, garnering both provincial and national journalism awards for her local work. Due to family obligations Mindus will be balancing her time for this project, however, says she’s confident teaming up with her longtime friend and colleague, Farrar, also an award-winning journalist, the two will bring the high standard of journalism that the staff and community want. If you see news happening, or have any story suggestions for our staff, please give us a call at 250-3922331 or email us at editor@wltribune.com.

ith Labour Day weekend come and gone, and kids going back to school, it’s beginning to feel like fall again. That, of course, means it’s just about time for the Williams Lake Harvest Fair! If you’re in town this weekend, don’t miss out on this Cariboo classic, complete with a rodeo, ranching competition, agricultural exhibitions and much more! Our farmers and ranchers work hard all year round to give us healthy, delicious food, and the Harvest Fair is a great way to celebrate everything they do for us. The fair runs both Saturday and Sunday down at Stampede Park, and you can MLA check out Musings the WilDonna Barnett liams Lake Harvest Fair website, at www.wlharvestfair.ca, for all the details. The fair is a great chance for our farmers and ranchers to show off some of their amazing talents, with teams from all over the province competing for the title in the Rancher’s Challenge, and the Little Britches Rodeo running on both days! And of course, it’s a great opportunity to see, taste and buy some of the delicious products that our local producers have to offer. Don’t miss out on the Exhibit Hall and the Beef Show, not to mention the chili cookoff! There’s something for the whole family, with free entertainment on the outdoor stage and a play-land for the kids. Getting around the fairgrounds is easy, not to mention fun, with horse-drawn wagons to get you to your destination. I’d like to give a big thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors who make this event possible every year. The Harvest Fair always makes me look forward to the beginning of fall, and it’s all thanks to all your hard work and generous support. With so much to do and see, I know where I’ll be this weekend – I hope to see you there! Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Not one WL member gets compensation Editor: In the letter “Who’s paying for time?” Len Doucette asks “Who is paying the Council of Canadians and Mining Watch Canada to sit through five weeks of hearings? “I know they’re not doing it for nothing.” Doucette is playing fast and loose with the truth. Not one member of the Williams Lake Chapter of the
Council of Canadians receives compensation for what they do. Maybe what is bothering Doucette the most is that the strongest criticism of the “new” mine plan came from Environment Canada and from B.C.’s Ministry of Energy and Mines. There are numerous problems with the mine plan that were identified during the environmental review. Just one: Environment Can-
ada says that they are “concerned that the Proponent may have underestimated impacts on water quality in the Taseko River.” Doucette seems more intent on attacking people than in paying attention to the substance of the hearings. It doesn’t work. John Dressler Williams Lake Chapter of the Council of Canadians
Question of the week
?
Appalled at gun propaganda Editor: I am appalled at the propaganda being issued by the TV news over the government stealing a gun collector’s private
property in the Tatla Lake area. This is politicized anti-gun hysteria committed by left-wing ideologists who don’t know what they are talking about. Yes, guns can shoot through
cars, walls, etc. They can also shoot through moose, grizzly bears and deer. Christine Peters Tatla Lake
Council of Canadians all hard-working volunteers Editor: I would like to respond to Len Doucette’s letter from the 108 Mile Ranch. I have been a member of the Williams Lake, B.C. Council of Canadians for more than eight years. Every year our members pay a membership fee like any other organization one belongs to. At every meeting we give a donation of $5, $10 or $20 from our pockets and purses. We send one member to a conference each year. They usually stay in lodgings that are free, provided by a friend. Their meals are covered by friends. Most, if not all, of the Council of Canadians are retired people. Our young members are still working. We pay for all of the gas for the meetings out of our own

pockets. We pay for our own computers, ink, paper, stamps, xeroxing, photos, DVDs, photo sticks ourselves. When we go to Fish Lake, Nemiah, Alkali, we pay for that ourselves. We buy gas and food. We pay for that ourselves. Our hours of volunteerism is not paid work. We have cared for people since we were 15 years old. Just because we are retired, we are not going to stop now. Many of the local Council of Canadians were teachers, principals, doctors, engineers, nurses, farmers, activists, students, philosophers councillors, secretaries, cooks, Ministry of Environment workers, foresters, writers, authors, pre-school teachers, day care workers, union members, activity workers, ambulance people, hospital workers.
They all paid into a pension plan for close to 140 years and now they are retired. They work on volunteer issues now. They believe in human-rights issues, water security, the land, environment, justice for all. We aren’t paid, we are volunteers. We paid ourselves for our six or seven years of university and we are still using that training at age 66 plus. Please don’t run down the local Council of Canadians. These people have built this beautiful community into what it is today. Please respect your elders. The Council of Canadians worked here, they retired here. They play here. They love the land and the people. Chris Hornby Williams Lake

Patience, respect needed during hearing process Editor: Mr. Doucette’s letter (Aug. 29) was quite troubling, in that he cast so much personal blame onto other community members. There’s no need to lash out at people who have different points of view, Len. I can understand some people may be disappointed with results of the second Prosper-
ity hearing, and specifically the performance of the mine proponent, this time around. However, patience was required by everyone during the public hearing process. And most of us met the challenge with mutual respect. George Atamanenko Williams Lake

Storm soccer teams medal in Chilliwack Four Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association rep teams returned from Chilliwack with medals around their necks. The Williams Lake Storm under-14 girls team and the Williams Lake Storm under-16 boys teams both marched away from the tournament with gold medals. The Williams Lake Storm under-17 girls team and the Williams Lake Storm under-11 girls teams both won silver medals. The tournament took place Aug. 22-25 and comes on the heels of the Provincials 6 championships just weeks prior. For the Williams Lake under-17 girls, they decided to play up a level from previous years in the tournament to challenge themselves to play harder. The first match saw the Storm face a strong team from Surrey. And after a slow start that saw the Storm down two goals early, the team settled into a rhythm, holding the Surrey club off for the remainder of the game. Despite a strong defensive effort and multiple scoring opportunities the girls weren’t able to generate any offense, falling 2-0. Next, the Storm faced one of the host teams from Chilliwack, coming together for a textbook display of skill and a 2-0 shutout victory. Sunday, the Storm met the other host team from Chilliwack, winning in a penalty shootout, 1-0. In its fourth and final game Williams Lake faced an aggressive team from Squamish, coming out on top with a 2-1 win. Delta went on to win the gold medal after an undefeated tournament. On the under-16 boys side the Storm finished with a three win, one loss record. The team pulled together for 5-0, 3-2 and 3-0 wins to claim the gold medal. In the final it came down to a shootout between Williams Lake and North Vancouver, with Williams Lake gutting out a 5-4 penalty kick win. Coach Brian Hansen said he was thrilled with his team’s effort. “The competition and intensity level of the games was high and the boys put every effort into the competition,” he said. Meanwhile, the under-14 girls Storm went undefeated in the tourney, claiming the gold. In the under-11 girls division the Storm lost its first game 2-1 to Chilliwack, then won its next

Lomavatu joins TWU Spartans Williams Lake’s Ana Lomavatu will have a chance to suit up for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s basketball team this October. The five-foot-10 forward, who graduated from Williams Lake Secondary School last year, averaged 17.8 points per game and 11 rebounds per game playing at the centre position. During her Grade 12 season Lomavatu earned MVP honours at five different tournaments and, for the second consecutive year, was named a first team all-star for B.C.’s North Central Zone. “We are excited to welcome Ana to the Spartan’s women’s basketball program,” said head coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “She is a great fit for where we’re heading and will really excel at TWU. She’s a great student and she embodies the Complete Champion Approach while also bringing solid athleticism to our roster. Coming from Williams Lake, she is a diamond in the rough with raw abilities that our staff is excited to develop.” Jean-Paul added Lomavatu’s skillset will merge perfectly with the Spartans’ style of play. “She is a tremendous rebounder and she gives us gritty defensive play while also already demonstrating an ability to move well on the court,” Jean-Paul said. “Her intelligence, work
ethic, strength and explosiveness will all be great tools for her to use to develop into a solid CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) student-athlete.” In her Grade 11 year Lomavatu was also named Williams Lake secondary’s top female athlete. “For the last two years Ana has been a player her teammates have looked up to,” said Raj Lalli, Lomavatu’s basketball coach at WLSS. “She has worked hard during the offseason to improve her fitness, ball handling and her outside shot. She has put in the effort to narrow the gap between her abilities and her potential. Ana has the ability to score in and out of the key, and defensively her presence in the lane is overwhelming for opponents.” Lomavatu, an honour roll student at WLSS, plans to study human kinetics while at TWU. “While I’m attending TWU to pursue human kinetics, I’m very excited to join the Spartan’s team, especially as it gives me the opportunity to learn from the senior players and coaches,” she said. “I know I’ll be stretched and challenged and I’m looking forward to this opportunity God provided.” The Spartans open its season Oct. 11 against the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves.

Seventh 7 Summits set for Cariboo mountains The 7th Annual Seven Summits Bike and Hike Challenge is just under two weeks away. This year’s epic outdoor adventure features a route which begins in the unique Barkerville Historic Park with a mountain bike ride up the main street of buildings restored to the period of the 1870s. Barkerville is only eight kilometres from the host town of Wells, but the event takes the long route and seven stages, seven summits and 7,000 feet of elevation gain later, participants arrive in Wells. The 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge begins on Sept. 14. It starts by cycling up the Main Street of Barkerville and that same afternoon, (7 mountains, 7 stages, and 7,000 feet of elevation gain later) participants arrive in Wells having completed one of the most interesting, scenic and expansive day hikes/bike rides of their lives! This unique bike and hike challenge is widely heralded as an achiev-

Its goal is to get people into the mountains, challenge their abilities, celebrate and raise awareness about our fragile alpine environment and raise money to support the Friend of Barkerville, who have been instru-
mental in preserving and protecting many of the trails we use. Due to its design, goals, and ethics, this unique showcase event is also endorsed by the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium.” The 7 Summits Challenge is a great antidote to ultra-marathons, as it is specifically designed to be achievable, not formidable! The crux of the attraction is the challenge. It is
meant to be completed, not necessarily won! The poker run, and awards for “7th place” and “Most Average Time” are meant to acknowledge enjoyment, not just competition, for this event. Most of the 75 to 100 participants end up travelling in social groups of equal paced individuals, who love travelling in the mountains. Some are hikers, some are die-hard bikers and this year, there are some trail runners going ‘bike-free!’ Event organizer Dave Jorgenson says, “The Cariboo Mountains, and especially our weather, can make for an incredibly challenging event. They have given us the most colourful fall hikes under a warm sun and slowed our pace to a crawl with dense fog and snow storms.... sometimes in the same afternoon!” Despite, or because of, this, all participants leave the day with big grins on their faces. One past participant commented that “This event, and town(of Wells), has a
different vibe than any other event I’ve ever participated in, or seen! They even supply a hot lunch in the middle of the day!” In 2013 the Bike and Hike Challenge will be held on September 14. Start time is 7:30 a .m. sharp, in Barkerville and registration is accepted until the Thursday before the event. Registration is only $50, includes unique swag, mid-race lunch, and snacks. The event finishes with a banquet at the Bear’s Paw Cafe, and registration is limited to only 100 participants. The 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge, originally spawned from the Cafe owner’s desire to engage more people in enjoying the mountains has grown into a provincial phenomenon. For more information on the event, photographs or registrations, visit 7summitsbikeandhike.org. For more information contact Dave Jorgenson at 1-866-9942345 or by e-mail at 7summitschallenge@ gmail.com.

Woods a rising star in fitness modelling Sean Glanville Special to The Tribune Big Lake’s Candice Woods has become a rising star on the British Columbia Amateur Bodybuilding Association (BCABA) scene. Woods entered her first fitness modelling show, the Western Canadian Championship in Kelowna on the May long weekend, and placed sixth out of 24 competitors. “It was my very first competition and I had no idea what to expect — I was happy with my results and placing sixth and being part of first call-out,” Woods said. The call-out process involves all 24 girls standing on stage together and the first call-out group of six are called out by their number to step forward and pose, followed by the second call-out group and so on. Woods, 27, had just over three weeks to train for the competition when usually athletes give themselves 10-12 weeks. Woods felt the dieting was the hardest part in preparing for the event and not the working out. “Being my first competition I didn’t want to cheat on my diet at all so that was a huge sacrifice. I really surprised myself because I usually don’t have the greatest of will power,” laughed Woods, who

Big Lake’s Candice Woods is quickly becoming a recognizable face on the B.C. Amateur Bodybuilding Association scene. The 27-year-old is currently preparing for the BCABA’s Sandra Wickham Fall Classic in New Westminster on Nov. 9 where her goal is to place top five. trained for the competition while balancing 10 hour work days in northern Alberta. “After a long day at work the last thing you want to do is workout — it was tough but I was able to do it,” Woods said. Her diet involves eating six to seven small meals throughout the day to keep her metabolism high. It consists of eating plenty of protein and selective carbohydrates. “With the fitness modelling we eat a ton of protein — I have about five chicken
breasts a day and then protein shakes. Then with certain meals we get to choose between a fibrous carb and a complex carb,” explained Woods. Woods was part of the last graduating class from Anne Stevenson in 2002 and has spent the past decade living in Vancouver. During the past few years Woods has worked as an administrative manager for the oil and gas industry in Fort MacMurray, Alta., which has her fly in and out on a weekly basis. Woods and fiancee

Juan, who she calls her biggest supporter, are in the process of moving from Vancouver to Cold Lake, Alta. or possibly Saskatoon, Sask. Woods is not at all concerned that the change in climate and having to scout out new trainers and gyms will affect her. “I’ve already gone on line and looked at all the gyms in Cold Lake and Saskatoon and I’m focused enough now that it won’t affect me,” Woods said. Woods plans to take her personal training certificate courses online in the near future with hopes of one day pursuing it as a career. “I’ve learned a lot about fitness through my years of training and hopefully I can get certified and start training people,” Woods said.
Her brother Adam works at the military base in Cold Lake and she hopes to use him as a project and whip his butt into shape. “I’m gonna start with Adam because he really needs to get in shape,” Woods joked. The next competition for Wood’s is the BCABA’s Sandra Wickham Fall Classic taking place in New Westminster on Nov. 9. Wood’s goal is to place in the top five, which would qualify her for the 2014 Provincial Championships next June. “My goal is to get in the top five and qualify for provincials — my last competition I was so close in sixth place but I think I can make top five as I will a lot more time than three weeks to get ready for it,” Woods said.

What’s the Scoop! your guide to what’s going on in Williams Lake
Xatsull village shares cooking and basket work Sean Glanville Special to The Tribune Xatsull Heritage Village hosted it’s second Cultural Event of the 2013 Season on Sunday, August 11. The village is located about 20 kilometers north of Williams Lake in Soda Creek along the Fraser River. “The event went very well, we had an estimated 200-plus people visit throughout the day, some came for lunch, some for dinner or crafts,” worker Miriam Schilling said. The day provided some delicious food and fantastic entertainment. Richard Duncan and Shane Camille did some drumming and story telling followed by a traditional Lehal game, and Cecilia DeRose taught a pine needle basket making workshop. Guests were then treated to a traditional lunch served with bannock, salmon, salads, chili and dessert. In the afternoon there
was a pit cooking demonstration where the food was prepared and put in the pit to cook for the dinner later on. There were a few guided tours of the village late in the day when it cooled off from the afternoon heat before capping off a wonderful event with a delicious feast. The pit-cooked dinner consisted of salmon, root vegetables together with salads, bannock and dessert. The event was put on in partnership with the Rivershed Society of B.C. “Every year a group of people travel the length of the Fraser River by canoe and raft. We got to meet the team and learn about their projects,” Schilling said. Xatsull cultural events bring people together from many different backgrounds from all over the globe. “We had man from our local communities enjoy the day at Xatsull Heritage Village as well

as visitors from B.C. and all over the world. We get to enjoy the day together, share a meal and some stories,” Schilling said. Xatsull Heritage Village will be hosting two more cultural events in 2013, one in mid September and one early October, stay tuned for the dates. They are open daily
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. offering daily tours until mid October. “As well as the tours we offer people workshops and meals and some guests are able to enjoy spending the night in a teepee,” Schilling explained. “We also do our best to accommodate reservations outside regular business hours.”
Time to register for Harvest Fair LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune The 37th annual Williams Lake Harvest Fair opens its gates on Sept. 7 for events that include the Little Britches Rodeo, Cariboo Ranchers Challenge, gymkhana and kids pony races. There will be food vendors, 4-H animal displays, kids’ events, magic by Clinton Grey, live music, business and non-profit booths. Harvest Fair secretary Mary Telfor said
that the fair has something for everyone, adding that it benefits local businesses, vendors and residents alike. “The fair brings home businesses to the public’s attention — a large number of people come through these gates,” she said. “This gives vendors the opportunity to hand out their cards and show their faces.” Some of the vendor faces are returning from last year and some are new.
“We’ll have nonprofit organizations like the Hough Memorial Society and we’ll have things like the Cookie Lady and Dollar Dollar demonstrating cake decorating,” Telfor said. She added that the fair is a good opportunity for local businesses to show community support, and for people to get great ideas and inspiration from the wide range of exhibitions. “It’s great to see so many families at the
fair all enjoying themselves,” she said. “This year the theme is the 50s and endless summer, and we’ve added a 1950s chrome table for guys to sit and have coffee while they’re wives are shopping. “For the $6 entry fee, it’s a whole day of everything from rodeo events, displays of 4-H animals and great exhibitions, to kids’ events, prizes and live music,” she added. “Come out with your kids and have some fun.”
This group of visitors to the Xatsull Heritage Village at Soda Creek learned all about the fine art of making baskets from the extra long Ponderosa Pine needles.

Yena Lee wins Columneetza bronze medal Sean Glanville Special to The Tribune Yena Lee recently won the most prestigious award that students in Canadian schools can receive. Lee was awarded the Governor General Bronze Medallion for this year’s Columneetza Secondary grad class, given to the student with the highest grade point average in the school. Lee will go down in history as the last ever winner in the school’s 46 year history as Columneetza will change to Lake City Secondary Western Campus this fall. “Yena has been a fantastic role model for all of our students,” said Gregg Gaylord, Lake City secondary’s and last year’s Columneetza principal. “She has a very bright future and we wish her success.” Lee was born in South Korea and moved with her family to Vancouver at the age of six where she lived until Grade 10. Her family moved to Williams Lake two years ago to open the California Sushi Restaurant, where

Lee earned the award for being Columneetza’s (now Carson Campus) top academic student with a GPA of 97.7 per cent. She is enrolled at the University of British Columbia. she works part-time. “My dad saw that there was a market in Williams Lake for sushi and we moved up a couple years ago to start the business,” explains Lee. “It was a bit of a
transition but I really enjoyed my years attending Columneetza.” Lee, 17, finished this year with a 97.7 per cent average through all her Grade 11 and 12 courses. Her favourite classes are English
and calculus and she also enjoys reading and is a semi-professional golfer. She will start her post-secondary career at the University of British Columbia this fall where she is enrolled at the Sauder School of Business with her dream to one day become a lawyer. She will be moving into residence at Vanier Park next week. Ken Lucks, Lake City Secondary’s, and last year’s Columneetza vice-principal, said it was very close between six students vying for the award. “It was extremely close as we had six strong candidates. Yena is a very deserving winner and she was an excellent representative of our school in all areas not just academics. She also has a great network of friends she’s made here,” Lucks said. The Governor General awards were created by Lord Dufferin, Canada’s third Governor General back in 1873 with notable past winners including Tommy Douglas, Pierre Trudeau, Kim Campbell and Robert Bourassa.
Synnove McGrath WLSS bronze medal winner Sean Glanville Special to The Tribune Synnove McGrath has been named the Governor General Bronze Medallion award winner for Williams Lake Secondary School. It is the most prestigious award that a student in Canadian schools can receive, as it is bestowed upon the individual with the highest GPA graduating from the school. McGrath will go down in history as the last ever winner of the award in the school’s short 15 year tenure as a secondary school after switching from a junior high back in 1999. WLSS will change to Lake City Secondary Carson Campus this fall. “It’s been a privilege to have Synnove here for her entire five year high school career and she’s going to do great things at university,” said Curt Levens, Lake City Secondary and last year’s WLSS vice-principal. McGrath was born in Regina and her family moved to Williams Lake for her dad’s work when she was in Grade 3. Her family lives in the Miocene area where they raise cattle and have plenty of animals including three dogs and numerous barncats. It will be a homecoming of sorts for McGrath as she is heading to her hometown of Regina
Former Williams Lake Secondary School VicePrincipal Curt Levens (left) and former WLSS Principal Sylvia Siebert (right) with WLSS Governor General Bronze Medallion winner Synnove McGrath. McGrath earned a 96 per cent grade point average to win the award. She is attending the University of Regina. to pursue her post secondary career at the University of Regina. “I have lots of cousins, aunts and uncles in Regina and I can live with my grandparents who live in walking distance from the university,” said McGrath. McGrath will fly out to the prairies and she plans to pursue at Bachelor of Science degree with a main focus in biology. McGrath finished with a 96 per cent average in all her Grade 12 courses to finish as top academic
at WLSS. Her older brother Seamus McGrath actually won top academic at WLSS two years ago. Synnove also had a huge role in producing the play Alice – a Wonderland put on by the students of WLSS. “My fondest memory of Synnove was watching her direct the play Alice and Wonderland. She was working with students Grades 8 to 12 and she did a wonderful job and has a quiet strength about her,” said Sylvia
Seibert, Nesika and last year’s WLSS principal. “She’s a well rounded student and doesn’t excel just at academic subjects like chemistry, biology, and math.” She credits all the teachers at the school for her success but had a special relationship with her two biology teachers. “Everyone at the school was a big help to me but the reason I enjoyed biology so much was my teachers Ms. Gobolos and Mr. Belonio,” said McGrath. Synnove received a pair of entrance scholarships, one from the University of Regina and another from the government of Canada. She calls biology and calculus her two favourite subjects. Her other hobbies include band and drama which she participated in regularly throughout her time at WLSS. As for a career, McGrath is still uncertain but will let her studies determine what direction she goes. “I don’t really have an idea what I want to do for a career but during my next few years at university I will see what I enjoy and go from there,” explains McGrath. The Governor General awards were created by Lord Dufferin, Canada’s third Governor General back in 1873 with notable past winners including Tommy Douglas, Pierre Trudeau, Kim Campbell and Robert Bourassa.

Lauren Pilszek wins another contest
Wednesday, September 4, 2013 Williams Lake Tribune
engagement
Sean Glanville Special to The Tribune Williams Lake’s Lauren Pilszek outgoing and bubbly personality has given her the opportunity to win not only one major media competition but two, all in the past calendar year. Last summer Pilszek won a competition through Country 103 radio in Kamloops for a meet and greet with Academy Award winner Kevin Costner. “I figured I had to do something original to win the contest so I made a rap about Kevin Costner,” Pilszek laughed. Costner’s band Modern West was playing a free concert at Sun Peaks last July and Pilszek and friend Amy Sutton were invited on stage to sing their rap to 4,000 fans. The pair got autographs and photos with the Dances With Wolves star and were invited to have dinner with Costner after the concert. Pilszek, a Columneetza grad, won her second major vote-in competition this past summer becoming an Oakley Canada Ambassador. Elle Magazine put out a contest where participants were to send a photo, write-up and a video outlining why they would be a good ambassador for Oakley. “It was done by an online voting process and I ended up getting the most votes in the B.C. and Alberta region,” Pilszek said. Pilszek’s co-worker and friend Tammy Uyeda won the competition last year and told her she should sign up. She was exactly what they were looking for as the active 25-year-old leads a very active lifestyle which includes soccer, hiking, running, tennis and swimming. “I had no idea about the contest until Tammy told me I should enter, and I won. I don’t know what it is with me and winning these contests, it’s strange,” Pilszek laughed. Her Oakley Ambassador work involves

some events.” Oakley also sent Pilszek on an all-expensepaid trip to Laguna Beach, California in mid-June. She was sent along with fellow Canadian Oakley ambassador Virginie Duval, from Quebec. “We visited Oakley headquarters in Los Angeles, and went to Huntingdon Beach
and Catalina Island. It was four days of touring around and was a great experience,” said Pilszek. Pilszek is currently in the process of moving and changing careers. She has worked as a Kinesiologist the past two years in Kamloops but is leaving for Calgary to become an Ultrasound Tech-

Kids learn useful life skills in the kitchen LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Let Me in the Kitchen is an upcoming series of four cooking classes for kids through the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex, and recreation co-ordinator Suzanne Cochrane said that registration has begun and excitement is building.
She explained that Save on Foods is generously sponsoring the after-school program by providing the food, cutting registration costs in half. “Store manager Mark Law was so great about the classes,” she said. “Because of this, more kids will get to enjoy real, hands-on
cooking where they get to make their own afterschool snack and their own dinner. “My son Garrett took the individual classes last year when he was eight years old and loved it — he was so proud of the food he cooked.” Garrett always brought his culinary creations home to show
his family, according to his mom. “He made things like a mini-meatloaf and ‘kitty’ rice cakes with banana eyes, carrot ears and whiskers made from coconut,” she added. The classes can take up to 12 kids ages 8-12, and will be taught by Cindy Nadeau, who has worked 25 years in the food industry. She has been a camp cook, a restaurant owner, has taught Food Safe at Thompson Rivers University for 10 years, and offered the individual Let Me in the Kitchen classes last year. “It’s so fun doing this with kids, and I’m excited that it’s a few sessions this time instead of just one class,” she said, adding they’ll cover things like food groups, kitchen and food safety, reading a recipe, personal hygiene and measuring ingredients. “When you have
kids in a kitchen you’re teaching them life skills,” she continued. “They learn to be organized, work as a team and participate in something fun and creative.” Cochrane noted that Let Me in the Kitchen is a great way to introduce your kids to new foods. “When your kids cook it, they’ll eat it,” she said. She said that the new Active Living Guide, out this week, lists their highest number of programs to date. “We have Lego robotics, computer animation, video game design, sewing for kids, cupcake design, lots of yoga, superhero training camp for preschoolers, science programs and more.” The new Active Living Guide is available at the CMRC, as well as www.activewilliamslake.com where you can get more information about Let Me in the Kitchen and register online.

4-H kids get leg up on 2014 with Save-On bursaries LeRae Haynes Special to The Tribune Sixteen 4-H kids have a head start on their 2014 project, thanks to bursaries from Save-On-Foods in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. Store managers Craig Lee and Mark Law handed out three $675 steer bursaries and 13 swine and sheep bursaries for $75, ensuring that the lucky winners can buy their animal for next year. Williams Lake store manager Mark Law said that in the past they’ve always come to the sale and bought cows, pigs and sheep. “We’d take them to Rodier Meats and bring them back and showcase them for
sale in the store with pictures of the kids who raised them,” he said. “Things changed with food safety regulations and we couldn’t do that anymore. We had to come up with another idea. The first year after Mad Cow we took our $2,500 and redid the showers for the kids at the stockyards.” After that year they came up with another idea to support the kids. He explained that instead of one kid getting $2,500 or $3,000 for an animal, they decided to have random draws and give 16 kids money to buy their animal for next year. Craig Lee said it was great to see so
many smiling faces from the kids who won the bursaries. “It was cool to walk around and talk to all these kids and see how engaged they are with their animal and how important it is to them. They’re all so polite and well-spoken,” he noted. “You can tell 4-H teaches them mature attributes.” “We’ve had a connection with our ranchers from the day we opened our doors. We even decorated our building with local ranch brands and both stores hold a salt sale for ranchers every year. This is a way to support the children of ranchers who may be ranchers themselves someday,” Law added. “It’s all a big circle.”

Reed All About It chronicles adventures of a publisher Reed Turcotte’s long awaited book Reed All About It …Memoirs of a Controversial Publisher is now available on his websitewww.reedallaboutit.ca. Turcotte chronicles his career from 1974 to 2013 in Quesnel, beginning with his Quesnel Tuesday News and ending in Morris Manitoba with the Morris Mirror, including newspapers and magazines in Greenwood and Cache Creek along with many others in between. He tells it like it was, with no holds barred including secret dirty tricks of the trade. He wraps up the book with the malice and bullying that was put his way in January and February of this past year when a Thumbs Down “Idle No More” editorial went viral to tens of thousands of online readers. Some came to vilify him but many more Canadians were there to support his comments and to back a “free press.” For the first time, Turcotte reveals what really went down during this provocative period in Morris. Included with Reed All About It is a bonus short story entitled the
Rock Creek Winter War, a Western which takes place in Rock Creek,
B.C. in 1860. Turcotte is proud to offer up this e-edition book that ends
with an epilogue that will shock many in the media industry.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo
Fall 2013
Bear hunting season in Canada Every year thousands of hunters travel to many parts of Canada for the bear hunting season. For many hunters, bagging a bear is a true accomplishment as these creatures are looked upon with awe and respect. Some come to hunt the Canadian Black Bear, while others come for the ultimate prize, the Canadian grizzly bear also known as the Canadian brown bear. Hunters enjoy the camaraderie and outdoor adventure of the sport as much as stalking and catching their prey. Bear hunting in Canada is a source of revenue for the country and it is here that many hunters seek to bag the perfect bear trophy. It is especially important to the economies of Quebec and British Columbia and tourism soars when bear hunting season begins. From beginners to seasoned outdoorsmen, bear hunting is what they look forward to all year around. There are countless hunting lodges from the most simple and rustic to luxurious lodges that have every amenity one could desire. Depending upon the type of experience you are looking for, you can find the ideal hunting lodge to cater to your needs. Many employ the services of a hunting guide so that they are almost assured of a kill during their
hunting trip. Bear Species Found in Canada Canada is home to three species of bear. The Canadian brown bear also known as the grizzly bear is most often found in the Canadian Rockies and British Columbia. These bears subsist mostly on a vegetarian diet eating plants, seeds, grasses and berries. They will also eat small mammals, fish and even insects. The grizzlies found in the Canadian Rockies will also hunt mountain goats, caribou and moose. The largest of the male grizzlies can weigh as much as 1500 pounds. The black bear is the least aggressive of the bears that are found in Canada. They are smaller than their grizzly cousins. If you think you can hide from a black bear by climbing a tree, think again. A black bear can beat a human when climbing a tree on any given day. Black bears typically avoid open spaces; instead they favor areas that are forested. Their diet is typically vegetarian with foods such as nuts, honey, seeds and plants but they have been known to feed on small mammals, insects, fish and carcasses. The polar bear is the largest of the bear species of Canada. Males can weigh as little as 800 pounds or as much
as 1800 pounds. These bears are carnivores and spend most of their time on the ice. They are fast runners but they are also able to travel in cold waters. Their paws are webbed and their nostrils close when they are underwater. Their fur is water repellent and can easily be shaken dry. Bear Seasons There are different seasons for bear hunting in Canada and it depends upon which species of bear you are hunting. Spring grizzly bear hunting season in British Columbia is from May until June while the fall hunting season is from Sept. 22nd to the 30th and Oct. 2nd to the 10th. The habitat of the Canadian grizzly bear is steadily shrinking. British Columbia bear hunting has been most affected by this trend. It is said that half the grizzly population makes their home in British Columbia. For the Canadian black bear, hunting season is in the spring from May until June in British Columbia. The abundance of black bear makes it a popular prey for hunters of all skill levels. Their range goes from British Columbia to Newfoundland. Populations vary and depend upon the availability of food and the intensity of the hunt in any given year. See Page B6

Hunting Season in the Cariboo
Fall 2013
Interesting facts about Black Bear From page B5 It is said that the northern regions of Canada contain black bears that are far more dangerous and aggressive than their southern counterparts. Quebec bear hunting season is in the spring. It lasts from the end of May until the end of June but hunting dates may vary according to the whims of Mother Nature. Canada bear hunting regulations differ depending upon the species as well as the province.
sense of smell and hearing are quite developed and that is why they will seek out
campsites and homes if they detect the slightest odor of food. In normal circumstances, the
black bear is afraid of people and quite shy. But if they find food in a populated area, they

quickly overcome their fear in favor of a free meal. Though the black bear is not a true hibernator, they practice something called denning. Their body temperatures become low as well and their heartbeats slow down in the winter. Denning provides the black bear a chance at survival when winter conditions are harsh and food is scarce. During denning, black bears neither eat nor drink nor do they defecate or urinate. A black bear can be awakened while denning because their sleep is not the deep sleep of a hibernating animal.

Hunting Season in the Cariboo
From Page B6 Food sources are where a skilled and knowledgeable hunter will find the black bear. Once black bear hunting nears, a hunter will go out and track his prey by paying close attention to droppings containing broken stems or twigs and bear tracks. Exploring where a black bear is gathering his food before the season begins, he will have a much better chance at spotting a black bear for the kill. Because of the black bear’s fine tuned sense of smell, when hunting these intelligent creatures the hunter must ensure that his scent is covered. Hunting clothes should be kept clean, rubber footwear is recommended and wearing clothes near a campfire will often allow a bear to detect a human scent. A hunter should never smoke while he is on stand
and using a cover scent is also advised. Interesting Facts about the Grizzly Bear The grizzly bear has a hump that is quite distinct on his back. Their claws are long being about the size of a person’s finger. Their faces are concave and their coloring is typically dark brown but they can be seen in colors from

cream to black. In the coastal regions of Canada and Alaska, grizzlies are referred to as brown bears while bears habituating inland regions and the lower forty eight are referred to as grizzly bears. Though the grizzly is not classified as endangered, they are considered threatened. Populations have dwindled because of human habitation and poaching.
Tips for Hunting Grizzly Bears Hunting the grizzly bear or the Canadian brown bear has become limited in British Columbia. The best time to hunt for grizzlies is in the autumn and in the spring. In spring, grizzly bear coats are thick and dense and claws are sharp. This results in a hide that is of the highest quality. Salmon season is another opti-
mum time to hunt for grizzly as they can often be found fishing in streams for this delicacy. It is important that if your first shot does not take the big bear down that you continue to shoot for you are now in a dangerous situation. Be careful that you do not damage the skull because the size is recorded and try not to damage the hide if you are looking for a trophy. If your life is at risk, then by all means shoot to kill and don’t worry about damage. Hunting bear in Canada can be an exciting and exhilarating experience. Having a guide that knows the best techniques and hunting grounds will increase your chances of a successful hunting trip. A bear is intelligent and a worthy opponent so that killing one is often the pinnacle for the hunter.

Hunting Season
in the Cariboo Bagging Canada’s prized game birds Fall 2013
The second largest country in the world is also one of the most beautiful. Canada, that mammoth of the Northern Hemisphere, has nearly ninety percent of its population living along the country’s southern border. The rest of the vast untamed landscape is a wilderness of thick boreal forests, cloud-kissed mountain ranges, rolling hills and prairies, winding rivers, majestic waterfalls, and pristine arctic plains. Over 70,000 plant and animal species have made their home in this area of North America. Many more of these creatures remain undiscovered in the lush labyrinthine countryside. Canada is also home to some 462 species of birds. Some of these avian creatures can be found in Canada all year round while others spend their winters in the south in search of better feeding and breeding grounds. In British Columbia, avid bird hunters will be amazed at the 362 species of birds that flock there regularly. Ontario has been known to host as many as 318 species at any given time. Complete hosts of migratory bird species make their way to warmer climes in the fall, seeking a plentiful food supply and a place to lay their young. Some geese can travel as much as 1,000 kilometers in a day from the Arctic regions all the way to Canada and the United States. Some of the many migratory species that find their way into Canada include American Black Ducks, Ptarmigans, American Goldfinches, Northern Gannets, Seabirds, Canadian Snow-Geese, Mallards, Ruffed Grouse, the Canadian Duck, Canadian Geese, Wood Ducks, and Common Eiders, among many other species.
Hunters from Canada, and from all over the world, likewise flock to the country during bird and waterfowl seasons late in the year. Canada has a strong policy on habitat protection and bird conservation practices that require hunters to stick to the legal limits for migratory bird harvesting. These laws continue to secure the future of the avian populations in Canada, and ensure that bird and other waterfowl hunting as a tourist attraction in the country remains bright. Migratory birds and other waterfowl hunting is a huge Canadian tourist enterprise, with hundreds of outfitters available across the country to assist hunters in bagging their prize. The Saskatchewan province is home to outstanding waterfowl hunting, particularly around the area’s lakes, marshes and grain fields. The southern part of Saskatchewan is ripe for opportunities to bag migratory birds that make the area part of their regular stops. Duck hunting and goose hunting can be had along the bodies of water found in Quill
Lakes, Lake Diefenbaker, and along the Frenchman River Valley, Big Muddy Badlands, and Qu’Apelle Valley. Apart from these Canadian waterfowl, there are also upland game birds in large numbers, like pheasants, Hungarian partridges, ruffed grouse and sharp-tailed grouse. Their numbers are sometimes so overwhelming that they roost on fence lines, walk across rural dirt roads, and even spend the night in abandoned farm yards. Anywhere in Saskatchewan with tall grass and abundant shrubbery serve as hangouts for these migratory birds. There are a great number of guided and unguided hunts that are available in Canada. They can be found on Canadian outfitters’ websites on the Internet. Open season for migratory bird hunting starts in early September, and offer hunters an enjoyable time along the fields and prairies of Canada. Most hunters revel in the slow ambling pace across the countryside along overgrown trails. As the marshes slowly come to life with

hilarating adventure. In Canada, the Migratory Birds Convention Act, or MBCA, that is handled by the Canadian Wildlife Services (WBS), in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) work together to manage the populations of these migratory birds. The CWS is responsible for establishing the hunting seasons and bag limits for each known species of migratory birds each year. The information is then published on the Migratory Birds Regulations, Schedule I.
Ontario also has large numbers of migratory birds that give such popularity to Canadian waterfowl hunting, such as duck hunting and goose hunting. Hunting season in Canada usually starts around early September, and runs through to October and November. During the open season, hunters are allowed to bag migratory waterfowl such as Ducks, Geese, Show Geese, Rails, ad Brant, among many others. Other regions and provinces have specific hunting seasons for mi-
gratory birds that are published and posted where hunters of the area can read them. The Migratory Birds Regulations, as based on the Migratory Birds Convention Act of 1994, also makes it known to the public that particular migratory birds are endangered species and cannot be harvested. Species that are protected by law include loons, trumpeter swans, the Ferruginous Hawk, burrowing owls rusty blackbirds, loggerhead shrikes, and McCown’s Longspur, among others.

the hoots of owls and howls of coyotes, ruffies and spruce grouse make prime hunting fare. Another breathtaking experience is the sight and sound of huge numbers of the magnificent Canadian goose winging up from the marshlands to seek food, giving the hunter an unparalleled target of Canadian geese in flight. Most hunters use whistles to lure mallards, or decoys to lure waterfowl like the wily Canadian snow goose. Snow geese hunting in Canada can be an ex-

Hunting Season in the Cariboo Hi my name is Cole and I am 7 years old. On September 12, 2012 I shot my first grouse. We were hunting in the Big Lake area, and my dad spotted some grouse. He told me to slowly and quietly climb out of the truck and he said do not slam the truck door closed. If you slam the truck door you will scare the grouse away. We slowly walked to the front of the truck. My dad helped me hold the shotgun and when we had our sight on the grouse he told me to squeeze the trigger slowly. I was so excited to retrieve my first kill. After we cleaned the grouse my dad took one of the grouse feathers out, so I could wear it in my cowboy hat.

Memories don’t fade, they just grow deep. For the one we loved but could not keep. We hold our tears when we speak your name but the ache in our hearts remains the same. No one knows the sorrow we share, when the family meets and you’re not there. We laugh, we smile, we play our parts, but behind it all lies broken hearts. Unseen, unheard, you’re always near. So loved, so missed, so very dear. Just as you were you will always be, forever treasured in our memory.
Missed forever by Mother, Evelyna and Family
