No arrests in armed robbery RCMP are remaining tightlipped about the details of an armed robbery at the Subway restaurant downtown last week.

“It’s still an active investigation,” said Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP. At about 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 15 police responded to a call of an armed robbery at the business, located at 336 Mart Street.

In a press release issued at the time, police said a 22-yearold woman known to police for this type of crime was arrested, however Brown confirmed yesterday no one has been charged in the crime to date.

Brown said details surrounding the robbery and investigation are sensitive and cannot be released to the public at this time.

If you were camping out west last weekend, like this man seen here, you probably saw the friendly face of Sgt Len Butler, head of this area’s Conservation Officer Service, as he stopped traffic on Highway 20 and the Ravin Lake/Palmer Lake Road Monday. Butler and his officers were out meeting the public, getting tips on possible infractions and, of course, checking for compliance of the Wildlife Act among campers. Butler promises the public will be seeing a lot of his officers out and about in the months to come.

Conservation Officers pay anglers a home visit Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Conservation officers from throughout the Cariboo joined forces to check up on the scores of campers and fishers out recreating at area lakes this past May long

weekend.

“So far, it’s been excellent,” Sgt. Len Butler said from the front lines of a road check set up most of the day Monday at Highway 20 and the Ravin Lake/Palmer Lake Road which made contact with 111

anglers (378 contacts with motorists overall).

“The campsites were full, but the compliance has been good.”

On Saturday and Sunday teams of officers headed north and east of Williams Lake, checking anglers at

“The goal this year is we’re going to be out lots,” Butler said.

Butler said getting out and meeting the public is not only necessary from a compliance perspective, but also a great way to build a positive rapport with the public, who is often the C.O. Service’s eyes and hears out in the forests.

In the past year since being posted here from Nelson, Butler has shifted one officer position from Williams Lake to Quesnel, where before there was only one lone female officer stationed. He also lost one officer,

Darrell Ashworth, to a provincial predator control position but that position has been filled and a new officer is expected by August.

In the Cariboo Chilcotin Zone, Butler has two officer positioned in Quesnel, three in Williams Lake (including himself ) and two in 100 Mile House.

In order to be the most effective, Butler said the officers often work together strategically to cover the whole area as they did last weekend.

Next week, an officer will be in Bella Coola keeping an eye on the spring Grizzly

bear hunt currently underway.

On another matter, Butler would like to get the message out to motorists that the public should contact the RAPP line to report road hit deer and moose, especially if the animal is still alive and suffering. Officers will give instructions to put the wildlife down safely (if the caller could) or respond if possible.

“The COS would rather have an animal put out of its misery than see it suffer, so common sense should prevail,” Butler said.

The RAPP line is toll free at 1-877-9527277.

SD 27: Board of Trustees

Long term education plan coming this fall Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor It looks like the newly elected board members for School District 27 are making good on their election promises.

Since being elected in November, new board members have been brought up-tospeed on the current state of the district, and have voiced their intent on creating and implementing a longterm management plan for the district, something the previous board was unable to do.

An outline for those plans have been drawn up and shared with various stakeholders recently including a meeting last month with the District Parent Advisory Council.

According to those public documents, the ambitious board plans to reveal a longterm plan for the district by this September, one which could likely

in trouble with the police Saturday afternoon after staggering into highway traffic and then resisting arrest.

According to police, two Williams Lake RCMP officers tried to arrest the intoxicated pedestrian while he was in traffic on Highway 97.

Police say the man became combative and uttered numerous threats towards the arresting officers before he was taken to cells where he remained until the courts reopened after the long weekend yesterday.

Police say he is facing several charges.

include school consolidations or closures to make the shrinking district more efficient.

In its document, entitled What is happening and when?

Change is coming ... be a part of it,” the Board states its guiding principles for strategic planning are excellence in education choice and opportunity, clear and transparent communication, sound and efficient fiscal management and embracing the district’s unique factors.

In Step 1, the Board has committed to identifying principles and issues of importance to guide the conversation; including a review of data, developing of principles and sharing a timeline and principles, which has already been done.

Next on the Board’s checklist is a review of information from the Student Voice meeting

Williams Lake brought to you by:

Three delicious options.

and a secondary school survey and then, to develop initial options by the end of June.

In Step 2, the Board has committed to sharing their initial options with the public at the beginning of next year’s school year, and will conduct workshops and “out-of-thebox” think tanks for the public scheduled for October.

According to the document, Board members will also receive feedback from the workshops and think tanks before making their final decision for a longterm plan for School District in January, 2013.

In another bold move, the Board also requested an independent review with recommendations of the current administrative structure of the district at their last open board meeting in 100 Mile House in April.

Buddhist Centre ready to open in Williams Lake Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor What started out as just two people who were interested in

Buddhism has grown into a Buddhist Centre being established right here in Williams Lake.

the name of the first Dahli Lama by the Spiritual Director of the FPMT. “It is only the sec-

ond FPMT Buddhism centre in Canada,” said Patricia, who is a Buddhist nun at the centre. “The spiritual director, Lama Zopa Rinpoche said Williams Lake is a very spiritual place, which is why he told me to come here to build a Stupa.”

Patricia’s Tibetan refuge name is Venerable Chonyi, and she is originally from Tennessee but has been traveling around as a Buddhist nun for many years.

She explains a ‘Stupa’ is a holy monument and they built one out at Spoken Lake in 2008, and the Buddhist group in town has grown since then.

“In August of 2011, we applied to be an official Buddhist Centre through the FPM,” said Patricia. “Once it was official, we needed a home.”

The centre has been working on renovations in a home in the downtown core of Williams Lake and are now ready to open their doors to

the public.

“We were really aware we needed a location that was more accessible to our members, and visible to the community,” said Patricia.

The Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre is located at 212 South Third Avenue and is complete with a wheelchair accessible ramp, entry way and bathroom. They have good-sized kitchen for gatherings, an office and a mediation room complete with altar.

“We are having an open house on Thursday, May 24 from 12p.m. to 8 p.m. where the public can stop to have a tour, enjoy lunch or supper by donation and get any information about who we are that they might want or need,” said Patricia.

The centre has Sunday morning teachings from 10 a.m. to noon, meditation classes that run for five weeks through spring and fall, and through the summer they hope to offer movie nights and group

discussion focus around different aspects of Buddhism.

“We also have one of our main weekend seminars coming up on June 8, ‘Why Meditation’ with Jon Landaw,” she said. “Which is open to the public.”

The Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre follows the Mahayana aspect of Buddhism, which centres around the idea that ‘we can’t leave anyone behind – to become enlightened, we must lead others to enlightenment.’

“All of our teachings are focused on benefiting others,” said Patricia.

Buddhism has three main guidelines, abandon all negativities, adopt all positive states of minds and subdue (calm) the mind.

For anyone interesting in what Buddhism is all about and what this centre is all about, stop by the Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre’s open house for information, great food, door prizes and a silent auction.

Stampede office opens

Ice Road Trucker hits town Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor After finding fame on the History channel’s Ice Road Truckers in 2007, Alex Debogorski has gone out of his way to promote himself, his home province and his country – first writing a book full of his stories and then touring around the world.

“My mother wanted to write a book – so I guess that’s where the idea came from,” said Debogorski. “And I always wanted to write and do write a column for a paper in Yellowknife.”

Debogorski said the show has brought him fame but not fortune and he works hard to use his fame to bring attention to his home, both the North West Territories as well as Canada as he travels with truck shows and book signings.

“Everywhere I go, I bring North West Territory brochures – I autograph them all and leave them all over the world,” said Debogorski.

“People don’t really know who the people of Canada are or what we do.”

Deborgorski is the original Ice Road Trucker and in 2007 when the show started he was in his 26th year of driving on the toughest terrain known to man.

Debogorski will be in Williams Lake this Saturday at Lake City Ford to sign copies of his book ‘King of the Road,’ and it’s not his first stop in the area.

“I have friends out in Likey and was just there in December, I’ve made a few trips through the area and have gotten parts for my truck at Lake City Ford.”

His book is full of stories all about his life, including family history

Alex Debogorski and of course tales of his adventures out on the icy roads of the north.

“As ice road truckers, we’ve been told our stories are too macho and can’t be true,” he said.

“Truth is I still have stories to tell.”

He said very few people get to drive and go where they drive, and

experience the ‘moments’ as he calls them, that the ice road truckers do.

“We are out in places and seeing scenery that a lot of people spend a lot of money to see,” said Debogorski. “When you are out there you become part of it and when you do have to face the elements it

reminds me of the days where it was man against the elements.”

He said once you have experiencd a real taste of the elements, whether it be weather, terrain, or animals it sticks in your mind.

“In this job there are lots of high moments dealing with what is thrown at you, but there are low points too,” he said. “The hours can become monotonous.”

Debogorski is 59 years old, married to the love of his life for 40 years, has 11 children and 13 grandchildren and has lived in Yellowknife for the last 35 years.

He grew up in Berwyn, Alberta.

SD 27 trustees eye change It is really quite remarkable the goals that the new Board of Trustees for School District 27 have set for themselves.

These trustees, who all have families, businesses and likely many other commitments, are dedicating themselves to improving education in Williams Lake.

They really seem to be putting their money where their mouth is. The trustees set a tight deadline of this

September to announce a longterm plan for our educational future.

I know, a longterm plan is scary. There is little doubt that they won’t be looking at building closures and possibly some kind of reconfiguration for our high schools.

But you know, the only thing scary than making a plan for change is not planning for change at all.

I’m not sure how the district has survived this long without one.

I recently heard that SD 27 had 10,000 students in the 1980s and today we 5,000.

The only thing that has been floating our bloat, so to speak, is bridge funding from the government, whereas the government gives us the same money every year even though we have less students -- for years.

Bridge funding and closing the odd school here and there has been keeping the budget balanced.

Now it’s time to be efficient and thoughtful in how we want our biggest employer to deliver its product.

And obviously there’s no stopping this board.

They campaigned on change, they promised change and it looks like they’re planning to deliver change.

Though it is going to be nervous wracking, no doubt, we’ll all know what that change is going to look like at the start of the new school year this fall.

Peel Out a big draw for city For the past three years the Williams Lake Cycling Club has put on Peel Out, a weekend full of mountain biking that not only draws riders from town, but riders from all over the province.

Riders come to enjoy the awesome atmosphere the local riders have created as well as the quality, accessible trails in the surrounding area.

In the last few years, Williams Lake has really become known as a mountain bike desti-

nation for people out of town. And for people like me who know nothing about the mountain bike world, there is tons of information available. To start, check out ridethecariboo.com, it’s an awesome website that has information about trails, events, what do when not mountain biking, and many wonderful photographs.

Websites like this one are doing wonders to bump Williams Lake up from just a local mountain bike desti-

nation, to a world-class mountain bike destination that will draw riders in from not only around the province, but around the world.

Each year the Peel Out event has grown to improve on the technical side, with the instant timing system this year, and to include new events each year.

I had the opportunity to be a spectator for the Peel Out Down Hill race and for the events at Boitanio Bike Park on Saturday and

as someone who is not a rider I was impressed with the event and intrigued. I want to learn more and even maybe ride (as a beginner of course taking it very easy – no way I’d make it down that hill in less than half hour let along less than five minutes!)

Williams Lake continues to surprise me almost every week as to just how much we have to offer the rest of the Cariboo, the province, country and even the world.

Ava Wall, almost five years old, proudly displays the first fish she’s ever caught, a rainbow trout from the waters of Ravin Lake.

Little Ava was visiting family in the lakecity all the way from her home on Prince Edward Island.

To fish or not to fish, is not the question I caught the fishing bug early in the late 1940’s and read everything I could on the subject, subscribing to both Field and Stream and Outdoor Life magazines. Once I read Hemingway’s short story; “The Big Two Hearted River” and was hooked forever. Enthralling and romantic, it took you to a special place in heart and mind. In the mid 1950’s, spinning rods came into fashion and the news spread quickly among the fishing gang, that the new outfits were in the local sports shop. I bought a spinning reel from France called a Luxor

(which I still have to this day), and that put an end to the standard reel for me.

I loved to fish in a local stream called Silver Creek and had a favourite spot where it ran under a railroad bridge into a deep pool.

One day, after a half hour of no luck, with

my fancy new spinning rod, I saw a kid coming down the tracks.

He had a stick for a rod with a thick green line wrapped around the end and a large sized nut for a sinker, accompanied by a rather big hook. This was his rig. Putting a gob of worms on the hook, he tossed it into my pool with an annoying Ker-Plop! You know what comes next don’t you? He yanked out a fat trout. Decades later, I went back to Silver Creek but found instead a withered little stream with Silver Creek Mobile Home Park running alongside.

While on a film shoot in northern Canada, where I was the cameraman, I brought along my fishing gear. The director, Joe, bought one of those $9.99 outfits that included rod, reel, line and lure. We camped out with some geologists on the shore of a lake. While the others were late getting up for breakfast, I strolled out to the lake and saw a giant trout cruising alongside the float plane. Grabbing Joe’s crappy rod that was handy, I cast out and caught the monster. Yelling for everyone to come out to see my prize, the fish took

off under the pontoons and the reel fell off the rod. Then the line snapped and the rod, bent into a taut arch, sprung back and whacked me across the face. The gang straggled out to see what all the excitement was about but the only thing I had to show for it, was a big red welt across my forehead.

They wouldn’t believe me and called it a selfinflicted wound.

A visiting professor from China stayed at our B&B last summer and since he had never fished before, wanted to try it. I set him up on our dock, showed him how to handle

the rod and reel, told him what to do if his bobber started acting funny and turned around to fix myself up. He instantly caught a large trout, instantly forgetting everything I taught him, he flung his rod down, hauled the fish in hand over hand by line, swung it up in the air and down on my back. In the ensuing melee, the hook got into my shirt and there I was, caught, while the fish went free, flopping all over the dock. To which our erstwhile professor tried to subdue it with a plastic chair, all the while jumping up

and down with glee.

A memorable moment for him.

I’ve read that eating fish makes you smarter. Studies have linked fish diets with reduced risk of mental decline in old age. Now there’s one damn good reason to fish for me. Finally, a bumper sticker I spotted; “If I can’t fish in heaven, then I’m not going!” Apparently this guy would rather rot in hell as long as he had a fishing rod in his hand and the fish were biting.

We true fishermen are fanatics when it comes right down to it. Right boys and girls?

Child Care award for 40 years of service.

Congratulations, it seems as though the family development childcare program in Williams Lake has been here forever.

The province of B.C. has opened B.C.’s schooling for five-yearold kindergarten children for a full day and the government made a regulation change to increasing the capacity of after school care programs resulting in more spaces. This makes it easier on moms and dads who have to work and can’t always pick up their children right after school at 3 o’clock.

Mining, child care and full time kindergarten How many jobs in our province rely on oil, natural gas, mineral exploration and production? More now than ever and the average weekly earning in mining is 58 percent higher than forestry, 47 percent higher than manufacturing and thirty percent higher than finance or construction. With our logging employment numbers going down in the Cariboo Chilcotin and in B.C. it would seem natural that most people would endorse an industry that would help the employment situation.

Central Interior Zone Festival comes to lakecity Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Once again Williams Lake Studio Theatre is hosting the Central Interior Zone Festival May 24 to 26 with theatre groups from Kersley, 100 Mile and Williams Lake.

“It’s a great opportunity to bring other community plays to Williams Lake,” said May Jo Hilyer, who is the festival chair. “It’s a great opportunity for (the Studio theatre) to get together with other communities and artist who are involved in theatre.”

She said the festival also gives local thespians a chance to see what other theatre groups are up to, and to get new ideas about different aspects including costumes, set design or lighting.

“This is the first year that 100 Mile is participating in festival – they have had a theatre group but this is the first year they are part of Theatre B.C.,” said Hilyer.

“And Kersley has been to festival many times – it’s always exciting to see what they are up to.”

Hilyer said Williams Lake Studio Theatre is performing two plays – two acts of ‘Office Hours’ and ‘Crimes of the Heart.’

“100 Mile starts off the Festival on Thursday night with a musical called “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” and Kersley has two short comedies on Friday – ‘The Wedding Story’ and ‘Blind Date,’ she said.

A neat part of festival is part of the backstage award according to Hilyer. Theatre groups have just four hours to set up a blank stage for their production and an hour to take everything down.

“It’s just part of Festival - everyone is trying to be on the best production they can since they are being judged,” said Hilyer.

Hilyer encourages everyone to come and see what the Festival is all about and to see the variety of plays.

“It’s a great way for people who don’t know much about theatre to come see what it’s all about and to see some really great plays.”

Tickets for the plays are $12 and are available at About Face Photography and at the door.

As for pre-registration, the guys said that happens at the A&W parking lot starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday followed by the poker run.

Potter said a steak BBQ, which is open to the public for $15 and starts at 5 p.m. May 26, follows the poker run.

“The BIA also runs a ladies poker run on Sunday to get ladies walking around the downtown core,” said Potter.

On Saturday night after the BBQ, the car club will cruise to Thunder Mountain, and then around town.

“We’re hoping people will come out in the residential areas to see the cars,” said Potter.

“I’d really like to build a cruise night here.”

Sunday is the big day where all sorts of cars will line 3rd Avenue to be shown to the public.

Potter and Christianson

said there will be many door prizes as well as hot dogs and t-shirts for sale and raffle tickets for a 172 Mercedes that will be given away in October.

There will also be trophies to be awarded to first place and second place for most makes and years for the cars.

“We’re giving away good times to all who stop by,” said Potter.

The gates open at 8:30 a.m. and the show starts at 10 a.m., it is an open show with a $10 participation fee and goodie bags for the participants.

“We just want to acknowledge that all of this wouldn’t be possible with out the continuous support from the businesses of Williams Lake,” said Christianson.

“We’ve continued to grow the show every year, and it wouldn’t be possible without local business support.”

With the new and improved instant timing system, racers with the fastest time so far sits in the 'hot seat' until their time is beat or all the racers in their catagory finish. Ivor McMahen hangs out in the 'hot seat' after he completed his race in 5:51 Saturday morning, finishing first in his category.

Josh Wilkingson takes a jump on his way to the finish line during the Peel Out Down Hill race Saturday morning. Over 180 racers took to the Peel Out trail, which is part of the Fox Mountian trail system, for this race.

Third annual Peel Out draws riders to lakecity trails More than 180 mountain bike racers ranging from the young to the youngat-heart took to Fox Mountain Saturday morning for the 3rd annual Peel Out Mountain Bike Event. The race course is part of the extensive Fox Mountain trail system and the event saw wonderful weather and fast times.

Thanks to the new instant timing system this year, as riders completed the race they were sat in the ‘hot seat’ if they had the fastest time until their time was beaten or all the racers in their category finished.

Cory Brunelle finished with an impressive time of 4:43 in the Pro Men’s category, beating his last year’s time of 4:57.

He dominated the Peel Out Down Hill.

Brunelle also secured a Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium sponsorship as part of the first prize package Janelle Robichaud took to the pro women category, and finished with a time of 5:44. Bryon 'The Black Fish' Black took the elite men's category with a warp speed time of 5:07.

Clayton Chamberlin was one of many riders from out of town, making the short trip from 100 Mile House to compete.

“The trails here are super accessible and just really good quality,” said Chamberlin.

“The (bike park) is pretty solid.”

The Super Down Hill on the Westsyde trail was Sunday’s event and got underway under cloudy skies but awesome trail conditions. More than 100 riders competed.

Brunelle once again took top spot in the

Pro Men’s category with a time of 10:06.

“We owe a huge thanks to our sponsors this year. Specialized, Kona, Red Shreds, Mount Polly Mines, Save On foods, Gustafson Dodge and Cool Clear Water supported us in all sorts of ways, and the event would not be possible were it not for their generous support," said Justin Calof, Executive Director of the Cariboo Mountain Bike Consortium.

Organizers of the event said the weekend was a huge success and are already planning next year’s event.

Ride helps make sick children's wishes come true Courtney Taylor Cariboo Advisor Once again this year, Rene and Karla Leclerc are organizing the Children’s Wish Foundation Trail Ride

that helps raise money to help grant wishes to sick children.

“It’s a good cause and really seems to strike at a lot of people’s hearts,” said Rene Leclerc.

“Everyone wants to help the children out.”

Horseback riders who are interested in participating can pick up pledge sheets at Cariboo Saddlery and

Beaver Valley Feeds and can then show up the day of the ride, which is May 27 this year.

“We start registration at 9 a.m. out at Minton Creek Ranch,

“We are met with no opposition when it comes to this ride,” said Leclerc. “We’ve had a really good response from (Chief ) Bev Sellars, participants and local business.”

Rene said they have a wide range of prizes donated from business that are given out in different categories, and those that are left over

are part of their silent auction, which is a good part of their fundraiser.

“The money we raise goes to help children in B.C. or the Yukon, since there are chapters of the Children Wish Foundation across the country,” he said. “Whether they want to go to Hawaii, Disneyland, or a local fishing trip – the money we raise helps them.”

Horse enthusiasts are invited out to the Eagle View Equestrian this weekend for Horsin’ Around in the Cariboo May 26 And 27.

There will be various equestrian events throughout the day Saturday and Sunday to either compete in or watch.

Events on Saturday

include jumping demonstrations, dressage, driving, demonstrations, Hoof N’ Woof, gymkhana games, and reining demonstrations.

Sunday’s events include cutting demonstrations, cattle sorting, buckle series cattle sorting, jumping and champion versatility

horse presentations.

The versatility competitions will feature both English and Western events with each horse receiving points for placing in each of four events, accumulating to determine the champion.

There will be trade booths, a horse sale barn, tack sale, concession and a kid’s corral. Events run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days in three different arenas. The Eagle View Equestrian Centre is located at 2458 Tawny Way off Dog Creek road. Admission is by donation. Contact Lori Rankin for more information at 250-3988344.

HOROSCOPE Aries, financial constraints could delay the start of a new project that you have wanted to do for quite a while. Don’t fall into despair; you just may have to save a little longer.

Taurus, learn all the facts before you get pulled into gossip.

Otherwise you may become part of the problem of disseminating the wrong type of information.

Gemini, though you are naturally intuitive, this week you may have a burst of purely psychic energy that cannot be ignored. You may find vivid dreams are part of the deal.

Cancer, you are feeling very passionate and you have deep and rich emotions this week. It is all about developing an even more solid relationship with your partner.

Virgo, thoughts of love and romance could distract you and make it hard to do your job. Don’t be tempted to spend all the time on the phone.

Chook... is Aussie slang for chicken Lets cook a chook.

Most folks would wonder what in heck is a chook, and how would you cook one!

Chook... is Aussie slang for chicken or for being a dumb bugger doing something stupid, like standing in the middle of the road and wondering why you got hit by a bus! For this occasion, we are then referring to chickens.

It really is hard to screw up cooking chicken. There a so many variations of cooking these birds. You can cook chicken with skin on, with skin off, and you can boil, broil, or poach and maybe fry... there are a number of different ways to make

oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Add the onion and rosemary…cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemonade, pepper, and salt. Simmer over low heat for ten minutes, until slightly reduced and syrupy. Place the wing pieces in a shallow oven proof pan or dish and coat well

with the sauce. Bake until the skin is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Add about one-half tsp of garlic powder into the sauce for another variation of this easy to make dish.

You have an inherent ability to read a person’s thoughts and motives, Libra. You may find that people’s feelings simply jump out toward you. This ability could be taxing, though.

Emotional issues with a family member could leave you seeking an escape route, Scorpio. This may be just what you need to clear your mind and get back on track.

MAY 20: Tony Stewart, NASCAR champ (41)

Sagittarius, you are feeling less inhibited this week, which may lead to a loose tongue. Try not to offend because you aren’t thinking things through but operating on impulse.

MAY 23: Jewel, Singer (38)

Capricorn, stress on the job could have you thinking about quitting.

But a look at your finances may tell you this isn’t a wise idea at the time. Stick with it for a little while longer.

Mistakes from the past could come back to haunt you, Aquarius.
