Two adult males are free and awaiting court dates, after being arrested Monday for allegedly stealing a customer’s 2001 Dodge pickup truck from the Gustafson’s Chrysler dealership and crashing it into the Sheep Creek bridge. “They aren’t prolific offenders, but are known to police,” said Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown. At around midnight Sunday police on patrol observed a speeding pickup travelling westbound on Highway 20, Brown said. By the time the officer was able to turn his vehicle around, he had lost sight of the truck, but found it a short distance away after it had smashed into the Sheep Creek bridge guard rail, causing severe damage to both the rail and truck. The two adult males were arrested at the scene, one with a minor cut on his head from the crash. Gustafson’s Chrysler Jeep owner and manager Kerry Gustafson said the stolen pickup belonged to a man who recently moved to Williams Lake from Alberta to work at Gibraltar Mine. “They had attempted to steal it once already,” Gustafson said. “I came earlier with the police and they must have got scared off. The police wanted me to look at a truck because they wondered if it had been stolen.” Gustafon said he did notice that someone had stolen the battery out of the 2001 Dodge and guessed they returned later with a battery or had it hidden nearby somewhere. He said another customer’s 2006 Dodge pickup had one of its windows and steering column damaged over-

Williams Lake RCMP Insp. Warren Brown said in the last two and a half weeks the RCMP have arrested nine people in relation to auto thefts in the last two and a half weeks. “People need to call the police if they see people looking into vehicles late at night,” Brown stressed. night Sunday when culprits attempted to steal it. “It had a chip key in it so they weren’t able to steal it,” Gustafson said, adding a week and a half ago, another vehicle that was towed in for repairs was stolen. “We didn’t even know it was driv-
able,” he said. Due to the number of recent stolen vehicles, the detachment is increasing the number of road checks and patrols in targeted locations in order to locate and recover stolen vehicles and to hopefully, deter more thefts, Brown said.

SD 27: South Lakeside parents
School bus route adds insult to injury Angie Mindus Staff Writer Many South Lakeside parents say they’re getting the run-around from School District 27 with their current bussing situation. “It’s just one thing after another,” said unhappy parent Linda Waterfall. “First it was the school closure (of Kwaleen) and now this.” Waterfall, and many other parents in the area, are concerned about bussing times for their young children, which have resulted in students arriving to their newly assigned Chilcotin Road School a full 45 minutes before school starts, and often even before supervisors are on-site. “I feel it’s not acceptable. They’re pushing (the issue) aside, they’re not looking after the kids.” Waterfall said South Lakeside area children

A student crosses the road Tuesday morning on South Lakeside Drive to catch the bus to Chilcotin Road Elementary School. Parents in the area are upset that the new bus route sees young children picked up early and brought to their new school sometimes 45 minutes before school starts. Parents are also concerned about safety issues along the busy road. are being picked up at their bus stop anywhere from between 7:16 a.m. and 7:25 a.m. to get to school at Chilcotin Road for a 8:25 a.m school start, just seven kilometres away. SD 27 superintendent Mark Thiessen said he sympathizes with the early bus pick
up, but is not committing to adding another bus to the route just yet. “I’m not making any promises,” Thiessen said. “I’ve told parents that we’re going to allow a few weeks to let the dust settle before we commit to anything. The easiest
solution would be to provide another bus, but that would also be a costly solution.” Thiessen ensures the elementary school children will not be left alone at Chilcotin Road School without supervision and has worked with the school to adjust their supervision duty time
to accommodate the early bus schedule for former Kwaleen students. Thiessen said the reason for the early pick-up is because there are too many students on South Lakeside for just one bus run, so the same bus takes two trips. “We are presently
running an early elementary run to Chilcotin Road and a later secondary school run into town (for high school students),” Thiessen said. Since fielding the complaints, Thiessen said he has driven the route himself behind the bus, and has also had an on-site meeting
with South Lakeside parent and former district Parent Advisory Council Parent Rhonda McCreight, who has been spearheading the issue for concerned parents. As well as unacceptable pickup times, McCreight also pointed out safety concerns at the bus stop on South Lakeside, where students wait along the busy road with no shoulder. Thiessen said he’s contacting the city regarding the safety concerns on the road and added he expects more efficiencies in the route once the road construction on South Lakeside is complete. McCreight said that may be so, but it doesn’t address the other problem that while the elementary students are arriving early the high school students are more often than not arriving late for class.
Accused violent offender set for court Wednesday Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The trial for a 24-year-old Williams Lake truck driver facing numer-
ous charges including sexual assault, unlawful confinement and break-and-enter was adjourned in Williams Lake provincial court Monday Sept.
16 when his lawyer, Alfred Kaiser, declared a conflict. Kaiser told Hon. Judge Marguerite Church the Williams Lake RCMP officer
covering the charges Robert Fagg faces for allegations in Williams Lake, is also the investigating officer for an MVI that occurred last week
where Kaiser’s vehicle was hit by an impaired driver. “Upon close reflection, it’s a classic conflict situation,” Kaiser told Judge
Church. “I believe I have to withdraw on this file.” Kaiser requested the trial be adjourned until Wednesday, Sept. 18, and said he
Medical marijuana draft bylaws reviewed The Cariboo Regional District board reviewed three draft bylaws and rural land use bylaws to allow medical marijuana as a permitted use within the General Industrial (M 2) zone. At its meeting
in Wildwood Friday, Sept. 13, the board learned this text amendment to the M 2 zone would carry forward as an allowed use in the Heavy Industrial zone. These bylaws
will be back on the agenda next month for further consideration. The CRD will also request that a Minister’s Bylaw Standard be developed for medical marijuana operations in the Ag-
ricultural Land Reserve. The Health Canada’s Marijuana Medical Access Program (MMSP) which was introduced in 2001, allowed authorized persons to grow marijuana for their own
medical purposes in their home. There are currently over 30,000 authorized persons under this program. This program and the authorizations are to expire on March 31, 2014.
would attempt to get new counsel for Fagg. Church said new trial dates will likely be set on Wednesday Sept. 18 in Judge’s court.
Side by side stolen During the early morning hours of Sept. 4, 2013 a blue and silver 2010 Polaris Razor 800 was stolen from Elk Lake in the Beaver Valley Road area,
the Williams Lake RCMP said. Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact the Williams Lake RCMP at 250-3926211.

Members of the Soda Creek Indian Band and the Cariboo Regional District board and staff meet for a communityto-community forum at Soda Creek Thursday, Sept. 12.
Local governments work together for a better future Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer It’s all about opening the door -- not just cracking it, Soda Creek First Nation treaty manager and negotiator Gord Keener said after band members met with the Cariboo Regional District for a communityto-community forum Thursday Sept. 12 at Soda Creek. “We’ve met with the regional district in the past and we have a relationship with the city government, so it’s a matter of rebuilding the communications with the CRD and moving forward,” Keener told the Tribune/Weekend Advisor. The two groups emerged from the meeting committed to devel-
Today’s meeting is a step forward in how we’re going to work collaboratively.” - Gord Keener oping a memorandum of understanding, a letter of understanding, protocol agreements or an accord. Whatever they come up with will put in writing an agreement on how the two groups are going to work together, move ahead in the future and respect each other’s jurisdictions, Keener said. “And they have to be put together without prejudice to any other negotiations we are undertaking.” Right now Soda Creek has a 911 service agreement and a fire protec-
tion agreement with the CRD from the Wildwood Fire Dept. for the Deep Creek Indian Reserve, and recently entered into a building inspector agreement. “Today’s meeting is a step forward in how we’re going to work collaboratively,” Keener said. In May, the CRD applied for funding from the Union of B.C. Municipalities for some community-to-community forums. In the past the CRD has had similar meetings
with First Nations, but they were multi-community meetings. “This time we’re trying to move forward with specifics with communities so we know how best we can interact with that community,” CRD chair Al Richmond said. “If you have five different First Nations in the room it takes a lot longer to get through what each one’s main issues are.” Richmond said meeting with one community at a time will help the CRD build relationships. “Today we talked about the value of an emergency plan and getting Soda Creek to come in and do some training.” Additionally, the band and the CRD will provide an overview of how each government works to members.

Free press can, of course, be good or bad, but, most certainly without freedom, the press will never be anything but bad. - Albert Camus
The city an economic island
Working together for WL
reen Party MP Elizabeth May is wondering how and why the federal government, which has slashed scientific research into climate change, freshwater science, ozone depletion and contamination of marine mammals (among other things) found $78 million to spend on “the Northern Gateway project.” This project will research how bitumen mixed with diluent will disperse in the marine environment, and will seek better weather forecasting along proposed tanker routes in and out of Kitimat. It has $42 million set French aside for Connection next year. Diana French Quest i o n — why doesn’t Enbridge pay for the research? Speaking of pipelines, a bevy of federal heavyweights is descending on the province to woo opponents into changing their minds. Leading the group is Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver. Given his past muttering, I don’t see him as an effective suitor. Attached to the pipeline concerns on land is the is the fear of a tanker spill along the coast. A recent Seattle Times story said ocean acidification (which it calls the lesser known twin to climate change) threatens to “scramble marine life on a scale almost too big to fathom and faster than expected.” Sea water is already in bad shape from all kinds of pollution. How much can it stand? Question; Does Prime Minister Harper discount the importance of our oceans because he comes from a prairie province? *** Bee Hooker, among others, is angry over the city’s plans for a community forest in the Big Lake area. If I lived there I’d be angry, too. City council has not handled this project well. Question: don’t councillors realize the city is not an economic island, that we depend on our neighbours? And should treat them all with respect? *** The province is contemplating liberalizing liquor laws. Question; why is it okay to encourage alcohol use, proven to be addictive, but not marijuana? Diana French is a freelance columnist for the Tribune. She is a former Tribune editor, retired teacher, historian, and book author.
his week, the annual convention of the Union of B.C. Municipalities is taking place in Vancouver. The convention, which runs from Sept. 16-20, brings together representatives from municipalities and regional districts across the province to discuss issues which are important both to local governments and to our provincial government. I’ll be spending this week in Vancouver attending several meetings with representatives from the City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional MLA District, along with Musings several ministers, Donna Barnett to discuss a wide variety of topics. One of the meetings I am most looking forward to is with Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes, councillors from the City of Williams Lake, and Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett, to talk about the Prosperity Mine. As you all know, I have been pushing for this project to go forward for quite some time. The Prosperity Mine would bring many benefits to the Cariboo, and is essential for the economic future of our region. At UBCM I’ll be working to get my colleagues on board. This topic, along with several others, will also be on the agenda for a meeting with the City of Williams Lake, the Premier, and several ministers. In total, I’ll have eight meetings with representatives from Williams Lake. Together, we’ll be meeting with Minister of Health Terry Lake to discuss the re-development of Cariboo Memorial Hospital; with Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad to talk about reconciliation and skills training programs at TRU; with Minister of Forests, Land and Natural Resource operations Steve Thomson to discuss several projects and issues, including the Williams Lake Community Forest and the Mid-Term Timber Supply; with Minister of Justice and Attorney General Suzanne Anton to discuss the RCMP ‘E’ Division and crime reduction statistics; and with Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Shirley Bond to discuss skills training at TRU and progress on the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition. Donna Barnett is the Liberal MLA for Cariboo-Chilcotin.

Our Viewpoint
Frosh chants a mirror of our society The University of British Columbia announced measures it’s taking this week to deal with what is being dubbed the “rape chant” incident that gained national attention earlier this month. UBC said Monday it is taking three “immediate measures” to deal with the embarrassing behaviour of student leaders of its elite business school, who recently led students in a cheer promoting underage, nonconsensual sex with girls. This incident, of course, is not to be confused with Halifax’s Saint Mary’s University chant given by about 80 student leaders cheering similar obscenities about women during an orientation event on Labour Day. These two events occurring on each coast of our country were so similar in nature and in time, in fact, they very well could have been mistaken for the same incident. UBC announced Monday the behaviour is “deeply upsetting” and said it has put together a fact-finding team to look into reports of the chant (though that seems pretty easy since it’s been all over the Internet), it has increased emphasis in the curriculum on
issues related to “respect, dignity and ethics” and, in a real tough move, it will no longer support the Commerce Undergraduate Society (CUS) Frosh events. Let’s face it, not much has changed in the world for women. Even in university, where intellect is put high on a pedestal, women are still subjected to stupid and immoral behaviour often. But we can’t really blame the schools, can we? These episodes are really just a greater reflection of our society today. Can we expect anything more of our young adults when video clips of an almost naked and “twerking” (look it up) Miley Cyrus, once a Disney mentor for little girls, makes the six o’clock news, not once but often, simply because she’s acting inappropriately? In fact, it’s pretty difficult to turn on the television and see anything but demoralizing behaviour toward women. Are these latest Frosh chants at our universities a sad state of affairs for our country, yes. Is it shocking, no. - Williams Lake Tribune

More Viewpoints Canada’s GHG blueprint will Question of the week guarantee global warming Have you any Editor: Fortune “2014?” Prelude to “profound” human tragedy? Great tragedies are outcomes that could have been good. Premiers meet next summer to solidify Canada’s National Energy Strategy reflecting expansion ... “doubling (plus)” of fossil-fuel sales to Asian buyers. Canada has “dirty” tar-sand bitumen, natural “shale” gas, and coal. Our Premiers cater to “powerful” CAPP and “lobbyists” for selling GHG emitting oil, gas, and coal. “Melting” Arctic releases powerful methane GHG. Notice clear and present dangers of climate change now! Premiers harmfully marginalize “dangers” of selling Canada’s GHGs. Our lives are inescapably affected by this life or death “omission(?)” of global warming. We “die” under sociopathic
conditions. “It’s OK to take anyone’s life for any reason ... for a sociopath.” With global warming, river temperatures will not remain below 22C for the life of salmon for long. “Fisheries” are concerned about 21C river temperature for B.C.’s sockeye salmon run now. Are you? Native cultures are endangered by this “all encompassing” tragedy. Poachers “get” while getting is still possible ... until it’s gone. The poacher’s “attitude.” Harper’s one “attitude,” one energy, one assessment promotes ... idealizes Canada’s GHG industry. Withdrawal from Kyoto Protocols, degrading Federal assessments of social/environmental standards with Schedule 2, C-38, and C-45 ... prorogating democratic parliament (four times!)? Economic “power” mattering most over adverse social/environmental effects is inconsistent
with human survival. “2001-2012,” the warmest decade on record, brought inexcusable/unaffordable global extreme weather harm/damages. “2013-2024” promises clear and future dangers...unacceptable extremes. “20302040?” “2040-2050?” Don’t ignore a “2014” prelude to profound human tragedy. Democracy has been hi-jacked by “powerful” lobbyists. Urgency is “now,” before the summer of “2014.” Canada’s “2014” pathological GHG blueprint will “guarantee” irreversible global warming and perilous climate changes overwhelming public “safety” by 2030. It’s up to us to “secure” life supporting global temperatures with a blueprint for a clean energy economy now. Herb Nakada Williams Lake
Majority fails getting concerns across Editor: Minorities increasingly are dictating their desires to the majority of Canadians by being the real and the often only voice governments hear on almost any subject. The old saying “The squeaky wheel gets the grease” certainly becomes loud and clear where generally speaking and, overwhelmingly, it is the loudest voice the government hears on almost any subject, or as in another old saying — “The tail wagging the dog.” Take the recent hearings on the New Prosperity Mine project. The majority of the voices heard by the Commission came from the natives themselves, regardless of how many dedicated concerned citizens spoke up for the project, percentage wise. Those who put their voices forward in print and presentation other than the proponent were a slim majority, indeed. Too many in society are expressing their opinions with
Letters aLways weLcome
each other, which has absolutely no value to a commission. Seriously speaking, citizens hoping to see the mine developed did, or said, little. The numbers of natives, including those in the community who seem to be against almost everything, virtually overwhelmed the commission. I suspect a lot of these voices were mostly retired government employees; possibly also members of organizations that took offense at comments made by others regarding their dedicated attendance. The majority of gritty working people, with little or no available attendance time, support the mine. We have to look at how to market our product regardless what that product is. This is where the majority fail, and the natives have done an excellent job of getting their concerns across to the commission — whether marching through the streets, getting in the news, or expressing their
opinions and feelings by their drumming. Anyone who thinks that the commission is not aware, or is not doing math, percentage wise, of voices heard, or is not cognizant of subtle aspects in this community, is dreaming. While the commission was in the Williams Lake area, the basic message, a commission member may have developed, who in Williams Lake really cares whether the mine goes ahead or not? However should Taseko lose this case, re-evaluation of why they lost will immediately be undertaken, and Taseko will address those issues. The government should judge New Prosperity on facts and factual issues. Taseko has spent millions in attempting to satisfactorily and fairly address those issues. No one, regarding Prosperity, should ever forget that.

Everyone swimming on the same team now Funny how things work out. In June 2011 while living in Prince Rupert I learned the Cariboo Advisor was advertising for a reporter. I sent off a resume to the Advisor because I was moving to Williams Lake in August and quickly received a phone call from publisher Kathy McLean. We talked at length, then she said she’d get her editor, Angie Mindus, to give me a call in a few days. When Angie called I

When I popped in one Monday morning at the Advisor office to introduce myself, Kathy said they’d hired Courtney Taylor and she was going to stay on for the year.

It’s no use slamming the other guy because chances are four people are slamming you at that very moment.
I’m still the newest kid on the block when it comes to newspapers in Williams Lake and am getting to know Angie and Kathy as time unfolds since they themselves have been brought into the fold here at the Tribune/Weekend Advisor office.

Bischoff to sign off Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Cariboo Regional District Area D director Deb Bischoff said she won’t be seeking reelection in 2014. By 2014 she will have completed six years of serving and said she thinks it will be the right time for new blood. “If I can’t get what I need done in six years then I think it’s time for someone else to step in.” During the CRD Board on the Road barbecue held at the Wildwood fire hall Thursday, Bischoff recalled it was a historical store fire that was the impetus for the Wildwood fire department 25 years ago. Resident Wendel Schachtel said the CRD helped financially, the department secured some used equipment from the coast, and they got started. “We were all standing here training, 21 guys, all with this colour of
hair,” Schachtel said pulling at his grey hair. “There’s something wrong here we said, and then young people started showing up and we stepped aside and let them do it.” Under her stint as director, Bischoff has seen the fire hall get new doors, new extensions, new fire trucks and a ride-on lawn mower. “Then the volunteers,” she added. “You look up and see the new venting system and think it’s not a big deal, but it’s all done by volunteers.” Schactel volunteered all the plumbing, he added. McLeese Lake, also in her directorship area, has also seen some improvements. The community hall has been upgraded with french doors, and windows. “You can look right out onto the lake now,” Bischoff said. They replaced their ball diamond with new
bleachers and redid the gymkhana grounds. “Forglen Road boat launch,” she exclaimed. “It took two and a half years for the Ministry of Dirt to allow us to put in the cement panels in the water.” The original boat launch directly off the highway is going to be left open for people with canoes or kayaks on their vehicles, but the main boat launch will be the new one. “It’s fabulous,” she said. At Wildwood a community kitchen was installed in the school and the vacant property adjacent to the fire hall is slated for a training centre. “When the board approves the budget and gives the OK for the budget for the Wildwood volunteer fire department to hire a consultant to work with fire chief Randy Worsley to build and plan a training centre,” Bischoff said.

Jasper rides to BCRA finals title
Work on Display Liz Twan photo
Williams Lake and area has been home to many great bull riders over the years and Riske Creek’s Ryan Jasper is rapidly rising to a level where he will soon be adding his name to that bull-rider-of-note roster. For the last two or three years the young man has been making his presence felt at most rodeos and bull ridings he has entered and competed in and this past weekend was no exception. He went to the BCRA Finals in Quesnel as the third-place finisher at seasons’ end, but a winning ride of 83.5 on C+ Rodeo’s bull Triple Crown on Sunday not only won him the go-round buckle; it also enabled him to vault to the top of the points, making him the 2013 BCRA Finals Bull Riding Champion in addition.
Liquor policy review opens to the public with website launch British Columbians are being invited to submit ideas on how to make balanced, common-sense changes to B.C.’s liquor laws. Parliamentary Secretary for Liquor Reform John Yap launched the new Liquor Policy Review on a website Friday.
Yap is inviting British Columbians to get involved with the site - through blog discussions, Twitter chats and feedback forms - to better understand B.C.’s liquor system and to offer vital input on ways to improve it. The goal of government’s review is to find changes to
B.C.’s laws on the use and sale of beer, wine and spirits that improve customer convenience and grow B.C.’s economy, while ensuring public health and safety. The new website broadens the consultation to include all British Columbians. Along with logging
public input and generating discussion, the website features written submissions provided by stakeholders, video blogs from Yap and an archival look at B.C.’s liquor history, as well as answers to commonly held questions around the production, sale and consumption
of beer, wine and spirits. Input will be gathered until the Liquor Policy Review consultation process ends on Oct. 31, 2013, with a final report to be presented to Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton by Nov. 25, 2013.

Soda Creek First Nation aims for campground upgrades Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer Whispering Willows Campsite is not a tourist destination, but with some upgrades it has the potential to be used more, says Xatsull First Nation (Soda Creek) economic development co-ordinator Miriam Schilling. Located 27 kilometres north of Williams Lake on Highway 97, the campsite is convenient for highway access. With upgrades, bigger RVs and rigs would have an easier time using the site. “If they can’t pull
through, they don’t want to stay,” Schilling told the Tribune during a recent tour of the site. RV users want fully serviced sites and right now Whispering Willows has six sites that provide water and sewer, power, washrooms, showers and firewood. There are unserviced sites with stone hearths, and the plan is to add another six fully-serviced sites. “We often have contractors looking for a few months’ stay,” Schilling said. Deep Creek meanders its way below the back
of the campsite, with traditional fencing, and some log buildings enhancing the atmosphere. “It’s ideal for bigger events,” Schilling said. “We’ve rented it to Gibraltar for a few family events.” Recently the City and the Cariboo Regional District agreed to provide letters of support for the band’s $70,000 funding application to the Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition (CCBAC) for the upgrades. The band will also apply to the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT).
Funds would help with the installation of a septic system, upgrading of the water system and electrical system, and performance of gravel work and layout. The band has agreed to make a 10 percent financial contribution in the form of cash and is planning on making an additional 10 percent in the form of donations through machinery usage and staff time. Xatsull Heritage Village received upgrades with NDIT’s community adjustment funding and now the focus is on the small business of the campsite, grant writer
Anthony Mack said. In the future the band hopes to apply to community gaming for a transportation pro-
gram, he added. Schilling said once the upgrades are complete, the band will go for approved accommodation
status from Destination B.C. “We also think it will be doable for winter camping,” she added.
ATV restrictions in effect at Yanks Peak Users of off-road vehicles, including ATV riders, are reminded to obey recreational use restrictions currently in effect in the Yanks Peak and Eureka Peak sub-alpine areas east of Williams Lake. “These motorized vehicle restrictions and closures are in place to help protect ecologically sensitive sub-alpine areas that are easily damaged by uncontrolled motorized vehicle use,” the Ministry
of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations stated in a press release Friday. The Yanks Peak restriction is in effect every year from June 1 to Oct. 15 and only allows motorized access via a single designated trail: the Yanks Peak Trail, the ministry said. Users are reminded that all motorized vehicles must remain on this trail at all times. Additionally, the Yanks Peak Snowmobile

Hunting Season
in the Cariboo The Art and Science of Taxidermy
Fall 2013
Taxidermy in the most general of descriptions refers to the various methods used in creating, recreating, or producing lifelike representations of animals for display. The word taxidermy roots out from two Greek words, taxis, which means movement or transfer, and derma, which means skin. Literally speaking, taxidermy is the “movement of skin”. As far as a general description goes, this loose translation happens to be an appropriate one as most taxidermy processes involve the removal of the animal’s skin, mounting, or replacing it over an artificial makeshift body, with adjustments to make it appear lifelike. However, there are forms of taxidermy wherein the animal is reproduced without taking anything from the original specimen. Today’s practice of taxidermy does not just require the craft of hunting and tanning, but various skills as well such as carpentry, molding, and casting. Albeit all of this, the taxidermist must also possess the flair of artistry, which will be used in sculpting, painting and even drawing. This is so because only limited parts of the animals are used in taxidermy. Even before man has been able to record histories and civilizations, hunting and taxidermy has already seeped through history. As the hunting-gathering tribes gather the meat of their hunted,
they found out that the skin of their hunts can be preserved as well, and later on formed the skin over clay, mud and stone, using them as leather for protection, for hunting and rituals, eventually becoming the first ever taxidermists. As the civilizations progressed, so did the processes used for tanning, and did the demand for quality leather. Tannery, or the tanning business, is safe to say the grandfather of modern taxidermy. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, game hunting and trophy hunting were at their peak periods. Game hunters would storm leather and upholstery shops to provide trophy skins. Upholstery shops would then be sewing the animal skin back on and stuffing it with rags and cotton. Thus the term “stuffed animals”. However, this rushed and crude form of taxidermy produced very grotesque animal reproductions, much to every hunter’s dismay. Taxidermy did not progress much until the early 20th century, un-
der the leadership of Carl Akeley, one of the world’s most renowned taxidermists, and other notable taxidermist such as William T. Horneday, Coloman Jonas and Leon Pray. They have pioneered the restructuring of taxidermy, from crude stuffing into a more detailed mounting, detailing every muscle in artistic poses, mostly even lifelike. Taxidermy is becoming a growing wildlife art all over the world. Ever since the pioneers’ introduction of more detailed taxidermy procedures, taxidermists around the world have been continuously looking for more ways to create artistic reproduction of animals. Canada has been one of the countries fervently supporting the art of taxidermy. Taxidermy has been part of Canada’s rich history, as this country has been a vast area for wildlife and game. Its climate also provided the advent of taxidermy here, as the need for leather and hide is much greater. Occupying most of Northern America, Canada has been the prime spot for hunting and for taxidermy as well. Most Canadian taxidermist go out of the usual lifelike reproductions of animals, but also go into the reproduction of mythical figures, like chimeras, griffins, jackelopes (a cross breed between an antelope and a jackrabbit) and much more.

Fall 2013
More on the Science of Taxidermy FROM PAGE A13 There are lots of known taxidermy associations in Canada, but the more common association is the Canadian Taxidermy Association. Its current president is Robert Goudreault. Their current office is at 35 Tanner Rd, Campbellford, Ontario. Another known affiliation for Canadian taxidermists is the British Columbia Taxidermy Artistry Association. Its current president is Arlene Gilbert. Their office is at Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. The former group, the CTA, focuses more on taxidermy as a learning art, helping enthusiasts and would-be taxidermists via conventions, conferences and workshops, while the latter, BCTAA, is an association for promoting
taxidermy as a form of art. Taxidermy has always shared it roots with hunting. Hunting is the pursuit of animals either for food, recreation or trade. Primarily hunted for food, animals also became a source of a game for hunters, thus the term trophy hunting. In this form of hunting, people hunt down animals to win their heads, horns, even teeth, as trophies of a successful hunt. As time passed, a trophy for a hunt did not just mean a single part like the head, but the whole animal itself, hence taxidermy started to boom. Two of the most common forms of taxidermy, and highly associated with hunting are fish taxidermy and game head taxidermy. Fish Taxidermy Fish taxidermy, or fish mounting as for most
taxidermists, is the hardest branch of taxidermy, as fish skin dries up fast, and loses color easily. A taxidermist taking on fish taxidermy must be very mindful of the way he or she handles the process, and of course the type of fish undergoing the process. Artistic skills such as painting, drawing and the ability to mix colors come in very handy in fish taxidermy. Different types of fish are handled differently in fish taxidermy. Warm water fish, who often have tough skin and larger scales, are by far the best candidates for fish mounts. Their skin can be easily mounted, or removed from the original body, and transferred to a manikin. Sometimes, too, that no mounting is done, instead, the whole fish cavity is removed of
internal organs, and then filled with filling material (plaster usually), which shapes into the fish and then hardens. Since these types of fish are not greasy, the skull and the skin remain intact. So does the tail and the fins. The coldwater fish on the other hand is a more difficult type of fish to be mounted. They are generally greasier than their warm water counterparts. They also have smoother skin and finer scales, making any lump of material paste under their skin visible. Thus, the favored method of mounting these fish is done over a smoother type of manikin. Though most taxidermists want to use the natural skulls, problems in spoilage and shrinkage, not to mention bleed-through of grease, often make them resort
to using artificial heads cast in plaster, which is later on attached to the natural skin. The trickiest of all fish mounts is the saltwater fish, as this is entirely made out of man-made materials. This is definitely the longest lasting of all molds. A mold is made out of the fish while it is still fresh. After the body, the fins and tails are molded in casts out of polyester. Photographs and measurements of the fish are made to start the reconstruction of the entire fish out of the blank fish mold. Creating every single fish cast out these molds is not only expensive, but also time consuming. Hence, fiberglass fish taxidermy came to light. Earlier taxidermists who have made molds create reproductions of

the molds via fiberglass blanks. These blanks are then sold to fish taxider-
mists worldwide, whose only job is to prepare the coloring of these molds.

Hunting Season
in the Cariboo Hunting moose in Canada
Fall 2013
SPOT takes the
Moose Hunting in Canada The Canadian moose is a fascinating creature. In the deer family, the moose is the member that is largest weighing as much as 1800 pounds. They are accomplished swimmers and within days of a calf’s birth, it can swim powerfully. They have been known to dive more than 16 feet to a lake bottom when searching for food. Habitat of the Canadian Moose The Canadian moose can be found in every province of Canada. They typically roam the rivers of the boreal forest, aspen prairies, and the tundra of the north as well as along the margins of thousands of lakes. They are also found along the rocky hillsides of western wooded mountain ranges. Moose don’t tolerate heat well and during the warm months of fly season often spend hours cooling themselves in water where they feel quite at home. Only the caribou can match the moose in swimming skills of any of the
North American deer. Interesting Facts A moose has very poor eyesight but are compensated with an excellent sense of hearing and smell. They can travel long distances over all types of terrain and have immense physical power and endurance. Their long legs allow them to wade through terrain that stops most other animals such as the wolf and other species of deer. When a moose gets frightened, they typically crash noisily through underbrush, but under normal circumstances, even fully antlered bulls move silently through the dense forest. The Canadian moose population is quite healthy with an estimated five hundred thousand to a million moose roaming the provinces. British Colombia and Ontario are thickly populated with the large game animal where in the past they were unknown in these regions. Even Newfoundland which was moose free until the beginning of the twentieth century now has a
healthy moose population as it was “seeded” with several pairs. Predators of the Canadian Moose Humans are of course the largest predators of the moose, but calves are often hunted by wolves, black and grizzly bears. A grizzly bear can easily take down an adult moose as well. Wolves take their life in their paws when hunting moose. They typically hunt in packs but a moose once cornered can cause bones to be broken and even death to a wolf. The wolverine occasionally preys on moose and when cougars and moose coexist, the cougar takes a significant toll on moose yearlings and calves. It is said that only a few moose will die of old age. Moose Hunting and Economics in Canada In Canada, the moose is an important economic resource. Hunting alone is said to generate more than five hundred million dollars. They are also an important source of food for those that live in rural
regions as well as for the aboriginal people. They are also a draw for tourists to Canadian parklands as many people are curious to see these majestic animals in their native habitat. Tips for Hunting Canadian Moose Bagging a bull moose with a magnificent set of antlers is the dream of almost any hunter whether a novice or a seasoned veteran. When hunting moose, it should be noted because of their large size, a rifle of suitable caliber should be used as the weapon so that loss or suffering of the
animal is at a minimum. Heavier bullets should be used to ensure a clean kill. The two methods practiced for hunting Canadian moose is either stand or still hunting. When a hunter practices the still hunting method, it means that they walk quietly and at a slow pace searching for moose in areas where there is sign of plenty. One of the best times to use this method is when crackling leaves in the underbrush are soaked from a heavy rain and allows the hunter to move more stealthily. See MORE Page 16

Hunting Season
in the Cariboo More hunting moose in Canada FROM PAGE A15 Hunting using the stand method is when the hunter positions himself in a spot where they will be undetected and wait for a moose to cross their path. This is by far the most popular method. With either method of hunting it is always recommended that before the actual hunt begins that scouting is done in areas where hunters expect to come upon their prey. Signs that moose are in residence are fresh droppings, moose tracks and vegetation that looks as if it has recently been eaten. Because of their large size, it is often easy to spot where moose have recently been. Once the hunter has deemed an area good for spotting his prey, he can find a place where he can stand comfortably in complete quiet to wait for the moose to pass by. Hunters should
the work out of hunting Canadian moose. They will know the best spots to hunt, provide much of the equipment and at the end of the day; hunters can retire to a comfortable lodge where
a comfortable bed and a filling meal awaits. There are a number of outfitters all across Canada that caters to visiting hunters. Whether a hunter is looking for moose or other large

expect to observe for long periods of time before spotting his prey, so should be well prepared for the wait. Recommended Equipment for Hunting Canadian Moose A novice hunter may not be aware that there are a number of items to take along on a moose
hunt. A well prepared hunter will have of course his gun and ammunition. A sling is also recommended. Knives and a small chain saw will be utilized if a hunter makes a kill. As the hunter will be spending long hours in the wilderness a thermos with a favorite beverage or soup will also
be appreciated. Binoculars for spotting prey should be packed as should a moose call. To ensure hunters can find their way a compass is advised or a GPS device. Hunting Canadian Moose with an Outfitter Many hunters hire an outfitter to take some of

makes me very proud to live in Williams Lake.” Dog lovers gathered pledges for at the event at Boitanio Park, which took place from 9 a.m. until after 1 p.m., and then choose to walk one of three routes in the city. As many as 60 silent auction items donated
by local businesses were also up for grabs at the event. Dighton said all the money raised locally stays at the local shelter. Currently the shelter has many kittens up for adoption, and can always use volunteers to help with cleaning from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

CRD Board Highlights
Community Works funding approved Community Works Funding was approved by the board for three projects including digital control (DDC) energy management systems for the ice plant at the Cariboo Memorial Complex (CMC) in Williams Lake, and the ice plant and other equipment at the South Cariboo Recreation Centre (SCRC) in 100 Mile House, as well as a lighting upgrade at the Cariboo Regional District Hangar at the South Cariboo Regional Airport at 108 Mile Ranch. The cost for each project is estimated at $32,000 for each DDC energy management system upgrade and $8,000 for the lighting upgrade. Both DDC projects will also have added safety benefits for the facilities by increasing automated monitoring capabilities, which will activate alarms in case of a system failure. McLeese Lake revitalization Howie Chamberlin from the McLeese Lake Community Association presented the Board with an update about the McLeese Lake downtown core and Community Hall enhancement project. Referendum slated for North Cariboo The board endorsed a resolution from the North Cariboo Joint Planning Committee to
proceed to referendum to seek electorate approval on extending the borrowing authority for the proposed MultiCentre for an additional two years. The referendum is scheduled for Nov. 9, 2013, and will be preceded by a series of public information meetings to give residents an opportunity to ask questions about the referendum. Dates of the public information meetings are as follows: • Wednesday, Oct. 9 Royal Canadian Legion • Thursday, Oct. 10 — Bouchie Lake Hall • Tuesday, Oct. 15 — Red Bluff School • Thursday, Oct. 17 — Quesnel Council Chambers All meetings start at 7 p.m. MMBC Update The CRD Board of Directors reviewed Multi-Materials BC’s (MMBC) financial incentives for Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP) Recycling Depots.

What’s the Scoop! your guide to what’s going on in Williams Lake
Anna Roberts annual pottery show and sale coming soon Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Williams Lake potter, Anna Roberts is hosting a two-day show and sale of her burnished and glazed pottery on Sept. 27 and 28 at her home on Grebe Drive at the end of South Lakeside. Roberts, who arrived in the Cariboo 55 years ago, started making pots in 1965. That’s when she discovered the region has many naturally-occurring materials useful in pottery-making. “I started doing my pottery outside,” says Roberts, who began using local clays for making earthenware, stoneware and burnished ware creations. “Then when my son, Kim, was in Grade 11, he built me my studio.” Anna still uses that studio today, firing her creations in an electric kiln. Anna acquired her skills from several expert potters who passed through the area. In 1967, she assisted Zelko Kjundzic in a pottery-making workshop in the Sugar Cane Village, and Kjundzic encouraged her to organize a workshop in Williams Lake and the response was overwhelming. “Thirty people reg-

At the conclusion of the two workshops the enthusiasm of the group continued, and they decided to form a local potter’s guild and elected Anna as the first president. Anna says her work as a naturalist has influenced her use of natural forms, textures and colours in
her potter-making. “I like to leave the outside of my pots unglazed to show the interesting colour of local clays,” she says. She also imprints the outside of her hand-moulded pots with natural objects like beetle-carved wood or bark, gnarled wood shapes, and other interesting things she finds in nature. Another of Anna’s trademarks is her
smoke-fired burnished pottery pieces. First she hand-rubs the leather-hard clay with an agate. This is a very time-consuming process that takes many hours of work. “During the second firing, flames are allowed to flow around the pots, enhancing the effect of burnishing, and give colour variations. It might take me two hours to rub one burnished
pot, whereas I could do six or seven glazed pots in that same time.” She says burnished ware is quite porous and will not hold water, but are highly prized as unique decorative pieces. Anna Roberts’ oneof-a-kind outdoor show and sale will run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, Friday, Sept. 27 and Saturday, Sept. 28.

SPORTS NOTEBOOK Friday, Sept. 20 to Monday, Sept. 23 Unlikely Paddlefest
Greg Sabatino photos
Lake City secondary girls rugby coaches Mike Levitt (left) and Morley Wilson (back left) provide some instruction prior to a practice scrimmage Tuesday at Lake City secondary’s Carson campus.
Lake City preparing for rugby season Greg Sabatino Staff Writer Lake City Secondary School girls rugby coach Morley Wilson couldn’t be more pleased with the way things have gone to start the high school girls seven-a-side season. While the Williams Lake high school reconfiguration to a one school, two campus, model presented challenges in some places, athletically it’s only brought benefits, Wilson said. “It’s a good thing,” Wilson said, adding so far 40 girls will suit up for the yet-to-be named Lake City secondary squad. “We have 40 girls who are playing from grades 8 to 12, and there are still a few girls missing. There’s no animosity like before between the two schools — it’s just everyone’s here. We’ve got some senior leadership from Columneetza and some senior leadership from Williams Lake [secondary].” That leadership will come from Team B.C. players Sheridan Davis (Grade 12) and Natasha Johnson (Grade 11), along with Grade 12 Anne Butters, who were busy Tuesday afternoon helping coach the team’s new players through a practice and scrimmage session.
“We have probably close to 20 new girls — so many brand new Grade 8s,” Wilson said. “It’s awesome.” So far Lake City Secondary School administration hasn’t decided on a school mascot name, but Wilson said they’re in the final stages of the decision-making process. “It’ll be very soon,” he said. “We’ve had our first meet and it’s been broken down to four now — the Mavericks, the Mustangs, the Falcons and the Wild. So we’ll decide that and then we’ll decide school colours.” Back to help manage this year’s large roster of players is longtime Williams Lake high school rugby coach and Lake City Secondary School counsellor Mike Levitt, who plans to retire at the end of the school year. “I can’t manage 40 girls on my own,” Wilson joked. “He wanted to come back and coach in his last year so it’s good.” Lake City secondary will travel to Prince George this Friday for some exhibition games, before hosting Prince George and Quesnel in Williams Lake on Oct. 4. “100 Mile’s still building, Quesnel has a program starting up again and Prince George has teams so they’re not going to be
The 22nd Annual Unlikely Paddlefest adventure kicks off in Likely this Friday, Sept. 20 where kayakers and paddling enthusiasts from around the province will converge. Mark Savard, who spearheaded the event 22 years ago, said Paddlefest is a celebration of B.C. Rivers Day and an opportunity to get out and paddle some of the best rivers B.C. has to offer. Kayakers are scheduled to arrive Friday afternoon before paddling the Quesnel River Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will begin with an “anything that floats” parade by the dock and bridge, while musical act Busted Remedy will provide entertainment. On Monday, the more experienced paddlers will head to the Chilko River to battle its white water.

Shifting Gears rides Sunday at Snakes and Ladders Tribune/Weekend Advisor file photo
Greg Sabatino Staff Writer The Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club will shift gears this weekend to host its third annual mountain biking fundraising event. Matt Neufeld, executive director with the Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club, said this year’s Shifting Gears mountain bike festival begins Sunday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. During last year’s Shifting Gears event riders tackled the newly opened Snakes and Ladders trail, located off of Hodgson Road above Bell-E-Acres. Neufeld said organizers received such good feedback they decided to continue on the tradition. “It’s a fun ride,” Neufeld said. “They’re timed, but there’s no first place, second place, or anything like that.” Neufeld said Shifting Gears is a familyfriendly ride and is non-competitive. Participants will converge
The WIlliams Lake Boys and Girls Club’s annual Shifting Gears fundraiser goes this Sunday, Sept. 22 at 10 a.m. at Snakes and Ladders. Following the ride mountain bikers will converge at the Boitanio Bike Park for a barbecue at 11:15 a.m.
at the top of Snakes and Ladders before riding down, then meet at the Boitanio Bike Park at 11:15 a.m. for a barbecue. “It’s our major fundraiser for the year,” Neufeld said. “We are non-profit so it helps with everything we do from our after school programs to our youth centre activities and it funds our out trips —
anything above and beyond our regular programming. The predominant event around here is mountain biking so it’s a great fit.” Shifting Gears is $10 per rider or $25 per family and registration forms are available at Red Shred’s Bike and Board Shed, the Boys and Girls Club or online at
www.bgcwilliamslake. com. All of the proceeds from Shifting Gears will go toward the Williams Lake Boys and Girls Club’s afterschool programs for children and youth. Neufeld added volunteers are still needed for trail monitoring for the event and can contact him at 250392-7530.

Not to be confused with a maze that is designed as a puzzle to solve, the user can’t get lost in a labyrinth, say Maureen Margetts and Mary Trott who put the last touches of paint on their two-year project last week. “There is no correct way to use a labyrinth,” Margetts says. She says some people crawl on their hands and knees in acts of devotion, some people dance, some people walk quickly, while others walk the path very slowly. The lakecity’s labyrinth is patterned after the beautiful Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth in France and is about 57 feet across, Margetts says. The walk is about a quarter of a kilometre to the centre and the
There is no correct way to use a labyrinth.” - Maureen Margetts same distance out again. Depending on how fast you move the labyrinth takes half an hour to an hour to complete. Walking and talking through the labyrinth last week with Margetts and Trott, it seemed at one point that we would never get to the centre and out again. But to the centre and out again we walked. “That’s where trust comes in,” Trott says. The best time to walk the labyrinth is in the early morning or in the early evening, say Trott and Margetts. Trott says people have their favourite ways to centre themselves before they enter a labyrinth. They may focus on their breathing, meditate, or perhaps smudge. They may use it to work through fear or grief, find inspiration for
a creative project, unwind after a busy day, or as a quiet time to work on a problem for which they are seeking an answer. If you are asking a question the women say it is best to go into the labyrinth with an open mind otherwise you may get the answer you want, but not the answer you may need. “Even with the best of intensions you may get no answer at all,” Trott cautions. While we were walking the labyrinth, first a young buck, then a female deer, wandered past us in the forest at the edge of the St. Andrew’s Church parking lot on Huckvale Place where the labyrinth is located. According to their research a deer is a symbol of the female spirit, so it felt quite uplifting to be in that spiritual space with the two
women.
The birth of a labyrinth Margetts and Trott say they share a common interest in the history and use of labyrinths around the world, and are following the dream of a fellow St. Andrew’s parishioner, who was hoping to create a labyrinth for Williams Lake, but is now studying to become a minister. “I have always been fascinated with labyrinths and so was Mary,” Margetts says. She says the beautiful Chartres pattern they chose for the labyrinth has a rose at the centre which has a number of meanings. The rose symbolizes Mother Mary; enlightenment; the holy spirit; the six days in which God created the universe; the six stages of evolution; the six realms or kingdoms (mineral/ crystal, plant, animal, human, angelic, or unknown — God or whomever you believe in).

Hayes-Gardiner featured at Station House Sage Birchwater Special to The Tribune Former Lakecity resident Sandra Hayes-Gardiner returned to Williams Lake this month to launch her art show and book in the Station House Upper Gallery, both titled One Life – Growing up in The Pas. It is both a visual and literary experience. Born in The Pas in northern Manitoba, Hayes-Gardiner was inspired to write an artistic introspective of growing up there when the small community along the Saskatchewan River celebrated its 100th birthday last year. Hayes-Gardiner had an unusual upbringing. Her father was an undertaker and the family lived upstairs above Hayes Funeral Home. Her dad operated several other businesses as well, including a meat shop and storage cooler facility. Through the metal floor grating, HayesGardiner could hear and look downstairs to see people below grieving the loss of loved ones in her father’s morgue. “I learned to be invisible and silent looking down into a family’s crumpled life,” she writes. “I was gripped by a strange attraction to their grief.” H a y e s - G a r d i n e r ’s multimedia display shows tangible aspects of her life.

All the artifacts in the collection pertain to the book. The book cover illustration is an overlap of two photographs. One shows the author running in the snow at Clearwater Lake near The Pas, and other is an image of the family funeral home. At her art show opening at the Station House Gallery, Hayes-Gardiner
stated that when the morgue wasn’t in use, she and her sister transformed it into a play area. “Death was a forbidden topic except in my home where my sister and I used the morgue for elementary gymnastics.” She says she learned it was important to both respect death and celebrate life. “We can be gone in a heartbeat and tenderness is important in a man.” Hayes-Gardiner says she surprised herself while writing the anecdotes of her life. For example she started a narrative to describe her father

and friends during hunting season in the fall, and ended up reflecting on the systemic racial prejudice that existed in The Pas at that time. The Cree population lived on one side of the Saskatchewan River and the settler population on the other. “The two communities side by side were divided by more than the river,” Hayes-Gardiner writes. “They were divided by history, language, culture and, likely, fear.” She says she grew up with a prejudice that white society was better than native society.
Then a memory of Cree women with their children sitting in a circle in her back yard plucking the geese for her father’s butcher shop made her stop and think. “I was raised with little knowledge of their history ... instead I grew up in a climate of white privilege.” Since then she says she has been influenced by the wisdom of native elders to enhance and expand her own spiritual and professional life. “Elders have taught me to laugh more and not take myself so seriously.” Hayes-Gardiner laughs that she grew up a protestant in a town with delicious Catholic boys she wasn’t supposed to date. Her short chapter, Those Catholic Boys is quite delightful. She says her Williams Lake hiking group encouraged her to explore beyond the pavement of city life, and her work with Cariboo Chilcotin aboriginal community took her beyond her fear. Her poem Prayer of the Bush draws on memories and experiences both in Manitoba and British Columbia. “Listen, for there are things to learn here,” she writes. “You will never know them unless you are quiet and your heart is open.” H a y e s - G a r d i n e r ’s multimedia montage will be on display in the Station House Upper Gallery for the month of September and her book is available for sale in the gallery gift shop.

Margetts and Trott realize dream with french-inspired labyrinth Continued From Page A25 Making the labyrinth was both a mental and physical exercise for the women. “It was an exercise in patience and concentration,” Trott says. Margetts adds: “I was very happy with how well we worked together.” Trott and Margetts started researching and working on their labyrinth two years ago. With some physical labour and help from friends to clean and prepare the surface in the spring of 2012, and again this spring, the
duo used rudimentary tools to create the design on the pavement. A spare tire set at the centre attached to a rope and a stick fixed with chalk was used to mark out the initial circles. Part of a venetian blind was use to create the curved sections. After chalking in the lines they used a two-inch roller on a stick to paint in the lines using the weather hardy blue seen on handicapped parking spaces. They were careful to make the walk wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs. “It was a lot of work,” Margetts admits.
“It’s not mathematical precision, I can tell you that,” Trott adds. While the labyrinth is painted on the parking lot behind St. Andrew’s United Church, they say it is open for everyone to use, regardless of faith. It is a way to create a connection between your mind, body, and spirit, they say. Except when there are special occasions such as weddings or funerals, the parking lot where the labyrinth is painted, in the same street-hardy blue that is used to mark disabled parking spaces, is usually available for people to use.
