The long weekend ended tragically for a pair of teenagers riding ATVs in the river valley trail Monday.

According to Williams Lake RCMP, the young men were attempting to high mark the side of a steep slope when an 18-year-old lost control of his ATV and crashed into a tree at the bottom of a hill.

Police, fire and the BC Ambulance Service responded to the call for help and the injured driver was transported to Cariboo Memorial Hospital with serious head injuries. The male was later airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

“The Williams Lake RCMP would like to remind the operators of these vehicles to use helmets at all times,” said Inspector Warren Brown. “Travel in pairs when possible and have a cell phone with you in case of emergencies.”

Police busy with bomb threats and bear calls

Sean Glanville photo

The Williams Lake courthouse had to be evacuated and closed to public access Tuesday morning after a bomb threat. RCMP members and Sheriffs were on-site detouring traffic and pedestrians while waiting for the police dog from Prince George to arrive.

There were no injuries as a result of this incident.

The Williams Lake Courthouse building was evacuated and locked down Tuesday for the second time in as many months due to bomb threats.

Inspector Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP said police responded to the threat that a possible explosive device was inside the building at approximately 9 a.m., and all employees and clients within the building were escorted out.

With the assistance of Police Dog Services out of Prince George, Brown said the courthouse was cleared and the threat was determined to be a hoax.

“The RCMP's investigation into the source of this threat is continuing,” Brown said. “As it

was necessary to ensure the safety of everyone, precautions were taken, hence the reason the courthouse was evacuated and locked down.”

Just a half hour earlier and only a few blocks down from the Courthouse, police responded to a black bear being seen in and around Boitanio Park.

Brown said police responded to the complaint due to the threat to children who were nearby.

“It would appear that for the past several days, the bear had made the park his home,” Brown said.

“The bear began to run throughout the park, increasing the threat to pedestrians in the area.

The BC Conservation Services were called to

BC Liquor stores set to strike B.C. Liquor store patrons will be unable to buy beer, wine, and spirits today as 27,000 employees from three unions are taking part in a one-day province-wide strike action.

The British Columbia Government Employees Union, by far the largest of the three unions involved, teamed up with the COPE and PEA to protest wages.

The three are banding together to send a message loud and clear that government workers refuse to fall further behind in pay.

The dispute is centered on wages, and The BCGEU is calling for a 3.5 per cent wage hike in its first year of a new contract, followed by a cost of living increase in the second year. The other unions are asking for wage increases that are tied to inflation.

haven't been any contract negotiations in two months. He also adds that if something doesn’t change there will be more job action in the future.

The Williams Lake government liquor store will be closed today as part of Wednesday's province-wide strike action. 27,000 workers from three unions are involved.

The walkouts are the first job action in which the BCGEU has been involved for 38 years.

Nearly 1,800 work sites around the province will be affected by the walkout, including liquor stores, permit and government offices, forestry operations, and ICBC call centres.

This year is one of the smallest runs in the four-year cycle of the salmon returning to the Horsefly River, so fish in the river were few and far between, however staff from Fisheries and Oceans Canada made efforts to ensure samples were on display for visitors to look at.

Something for everyone at the Harvest Fair Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor Be sure to clear your schedule and stay in town this weekend for the 2012 Williams Lake Harvest Fair.

Everything from beef shows, to draft horse rides to a full fledged B.C. Professional Bullriding Final will be taking place at the Williams Lake Stampede Park this Saturday and Sunday.

Fair goers can check out the beef, sheep and

4H show entries taking place both days at the Trailriders Indoor Arena or walk over to the Kennal Grounds at Stampede Park to take in the always exciting dog agility match, which is set to go Saturday only from 10 to 2 p.m.

Draft horse rides will be offered by Cariboo Carriage throughout the grounds starting at 11 a.m. daily for those wanting to rest their feet before heading inside

the exhibit hall to see all the booths displaying the best jams, preserves, knitting and more that you’ll find this side of the Rockies.

In true Cariboo fashion, there will also be no shortage of rodeo action this weekend.

The Little Britches Jackpot Rodeo will run both days starting at 8 a.m. and will feature various junior and senior events including breakaway roping, steer riding and barrel racing

Deal reached on moose management The Provincial government and the Tl’etinqox-t’in Government Office (Anaham Band) reached a deal last week which will see a joint stewardship plan to recover declining numbers of moose populations in the Anaham Range.

The move also quite likely thwarted possible roadblocks by First Nations this fall during hunting season in the area while leaving this year’s harvest quota alone, in anticipation of fewer allowable hunts for the 2013 season.

Specific elements of a resource stewardship plan are being finalized.

The plan will allow the B.C. government and the Tl’etinqox to work

together with forest industry and wildlife stakeholders to reduce land use and hunting impacts that have resulted in unusually low moose densities in this area.

Specific initiatives include: The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and the Tl’etinqox will jointly engage in hunter harvest monitoring, and management of predators and feral horses.

In co-operation with forest companies operating in the area, road deactivation plans to manage access to sensitive moose habitat will start without delay.

Forest compa-

AUDITIONS

nies have also agreed to schedule their forest harvesting activities to avoid conflict with guide outfitters operating in the area.

The Tl’etinqox-t’in Government Office confirms there will be no disruptions to the 2012 Limited Entry Hunt.

The ministry has already commissioned an independent analysis of moose management in the Cariboo, and results of that work will help inform future management decisions.

Numbers of Limited Entry Hunt authorizations for moose will be re- evaluated for the 2013 season, in line with a reduced annual allowable harvest.

They grow up too darn fast Back to school has always been one of my favourite times of year.

This will be the first September in many years that I am not registered in any university courses. Over the past few years early September has had me gearing up for another year at school. It usually means walking around campus buying textbooks, updating your student ID card, and paying your fees.

The thing I miss more than anything about university was playing soccer. I’d pack every square inch of my Honda Civic and head to university in mid August just in time for training camp. I’d purposely enroll in the minimum three classes needed to play varsity sports so I could focus primarily on athletics, a decision that usually warranted one of my dad’s ‘differed gratification’ speeches. Those training camp days were fantastic. At UVic for instance we would spend the entire day at the lake and then train in the evening, pretty tough days. Training camp is always such an optimistic time of year as every team in the league thinks that they will be champions.

Then there was that element of mystery with the first week of school, as you wondered if you would know anybody in your classes, and what your professors will be like.

The entire month of September is usually a holiday for students as there are no major assignments ever due and they want everyone to get acclimatized to the post secondary culture. Then October and November would rear their ugly heads.

Suddenly all that money you saved up over the summer and student loan money supposed to last you through the end of the semester is gone, mid-terms and major assignments are in full swing, and you’ve waited until the night before to study.

Another unique aspect about this year is my five-year-old daughter Kaydence is starting Kindergarten at Glendale elementary. Like most parents I’m reluctant to let her grow up. The idea of her getting on the school bus without mom or I to hold her hand terrifies me.

Earlier this summer we took her to a church camp and after registering her and getting assurance from

the staff that we could leave her on her own, we asked Kaydence “Are you ok to stay by yourself?”

“I’m fine, you guys can go,” she assured us, as she sat there on the pew. Two seconds later she was up running around making friends. My wife started tearing up at the thought of her precious little girl growing up.

It’s moments like that, which make being a parent the greatest job in the world.

George Strait, with 43 billboard number one songs to his credit I might add, says it best, “Life’s not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away.” A few weeks back I had one of those moments when Kaydence was the flower girl at my brothers wedding. As I watched her walk down the aisle I found myself fighting back tears.

Wow, I can barely hold it together when she’s a flower girl, what kind of emotional wreck will I be when I send her off to university or one day walk her down the aisle.

It’s funny how weddings make even the toughest guys tear up.

I have an uncle who could draw blood just

by staring at you, start weeping during the slideshow at the wedding.

I sympathize with those parents sending their high school graduates off to university for their first year away from home. It probably seems like only yesterday you were teaching your child how to tie his shoes and ride a bike.

I remember every first day of school having to get a photo taken with my brother in front of the driveway. “C’mon, is this really necessary,” I would whine. I realize now I will be that dorky dad having my three daughters pose for that same photo.

When we took our daughter to see her school for the first time I looked at all the little shoes on the rack in the boot-room and the water-fountains two feet off the floor and remember when it all seemed so real to me. It doesn’t feel like too long ago I was strapping on my Velcro shoes and grabbing my fruit roll-up headed out for recess. Now I have a daughter that’s ready for school. I’m in for a wild ride with three daughters but I plan to enjoy every step of their journey.

Sadly, it Parents recently was impossible began an important Living to skim the racks out search of their own without seeing - buying children’s Loud with Rita Corbett undesirable input clothes for school. As just waiting for I browsed through the T-shirts, the kids! Themes of vengeance, I found myself hoping for a safe intimidation and arrogance and happy school year; perhaps were silk-screened everywhere. this year violence, harassment, Generous amounts of the disreand snobbery will play ‘hooky’ spectful, crass, victimizing, rude and skip school altogether. A and degraded awaited purchase little anxiety even intruded as I as well. made clothing selections I hoped What has made it okay to put would discourage bullying - both stuff on our children that a selfthe receiving and the giving respecting newspaper wouldn’t

print?

And T-shirts with logos were everywhere!

But somehow, none of the promoters offered to pay my child for advertising their product. Isn’t that a little strange? Since when do our children work for those companies without compensation? Perhaps I could request a contribution to my youngsters’ university costs as payment for being a walking billboard!

Finding the right T-shirt is like a trip to the video store.

One has to wade through a multitude of options in order to find a prize. There were aggressive, hyper-masculine T’s for boys and plenty of “Come-and-getit” styles for girls. One T-shirt seemed quite noble, however. It said, “Save the girls!“ Sweet!

What a wonderful, protective

idea for a young man’s T-shirt, I thought, until I saw the words on the back: “ . . . for me.”

“Our ‘T’ will look great on your little one!” beckoned one ad. (Perhaps we could just alter some of them a little, though . . .)

At least “Happy Birds!” would be an improvement. Could “High School Heroes” replace “High School Bullies”? Could we invest in “My conscience made me do it”? instead of the usual version?

Or promote service with T’s that say “After You” instead of “#1 kid”? Perhaps I will return the “Here Comes Trouble” shirt in exchange for a worthy “Here Comes Character!”

What I’d really like to see blazoned across our kid’s chests are qualities like persistence, integrity, kindness, patience, and other ancient, positive traits. And skip

the violence! If kids are going to broadcast an attribute, why not make it a good one?

A match was all Jack London needed. How life-changing the effects of seemingly small things!

This fall, rather than analyzing the various roots of rough, tough meanness, perhaps we could simply remind ourselves that school is still a time and place of learning. Not just the ABC’s and science and math, but social skills, life approaches, and most of all attitudes. What have we invited to school?

I miss Jack. He was so focused, purposeful, and intentional. Perhaps I will peruse the T-shirts just a little longer.

Because our children’s stories are still being written.

The Liberal ship appears to be going under with high profile Cabinet Ministers, such as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon and Education Minister George Abbott, declaring they are not going to run in the next election. Most of those who are quitting have served a long term in the legislature and at some point I suspect it’s time to get out no matter what the polls say these days.

I don’t think my skin is thick enough to do that job for even one term.

Premier Clark is now shuffling the Cabinet that will take them into the next

election. I expect Bill Bennett from Kootenay East will get a Cabinet position this time and he will run in the next election.

Politics is a brutal game and no matter what side of the legislature a member sits, I believe most of them work long and hard hours for their con-

.

.

To me it sounds like the First Nations are driving the bus when it comes to opposition regarding the Enbridge pipeline issue. The NDP federally and provincially have opposed the proposal and if it does go through the First Nations will likely try to dispute the outcome in court.

I think the Enbridge Pipeline proposal has as much chance of going through as the Liberals in BC have of winning the next election.

We have to get the bitumen to market somehow as I don’t think leaving it in the

ground is a good idea.

The NDP would ask for a separate environmental review for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project. I wonder why they would want to conduct a duplicate extra hearing, as they are time consuming and usually do little different than the original hearing by either the province or the feds. We don’t need two reviews. .

The Tour De Cariboo gets underway this Saturday and ‘Senior Citizen’ Torry Kier has raised more money than anyone over the years since this long bike ride to

Sean Glanville Sean Glanville Sean Glanville Reporter

Gavin Lake has taken place. Torry rides his bike both ways and that is just over 100 miles, pretty good for a guy who missed last year’s ride because he had a hip replacement.

Torry has raised a huge amount of money in his 18 years of Tour De Cariboo for the Big Brothers & Sisters -more than one hundred thousand dollars. Wow. Congratulations Torry, what an accomplishment! .

Finest Quality European Delicacies The Paws for a Cause Walk-athon is our yearly fundraiser. All money raised in Williams Lake stays in Williams Lake! And we need it! The Williams Lake and District Branch of the BC SPCA helps more then 1000 animals each year, and this number is growing!

Every day, we see the suffering of homeless, injured, neglected or abused animals. The BC SPCA is a nonprofit organization that must cover the costs of caring and sheltering for these animals.

We must pay for the facilities and for the staff that cares for the animals; we cover the expense of food and additionally any medical costs that are needed by the animals to ensure that they are healthy for adoption. Expenses include the costs for vaccinations, spaying or neutering all dogs, cats

Liz Dighton

Branch Manager

and rabbits prior to adoption and welfare monitoring and behavior assessment. This past year the cost of dental work required by many of the small breed dogs that we have cared for strained our medical budget almost to the breaking point.

Our Actual Average Cost of Caring for a dog is $626.00 while our actual average cost of caring for a cat is $784.00. These costs are not reflected in our adoption prices. By participating in Paws for a Cause you’re helping us continue to speak for those that can’t speak for themselves. Your gift will aid us in continuing our life saving work providing the care and protection the animals desperately need. Help us provide emergency medical care and shelter for animals in need.

Come out this Sunday, bring

your favorite walking partner and join the fun! We have 3 different walk routes. Our Amazing silent auction has grown again this year!

Tables and tables of incredible items to bid on! Williams Lake Vet will be leading participates on the 3 walk routes. Animal Care Vet will have paw print plaques available again this year. New this year, we have 2 awesome volunteers on hand to provide an incredible lunch menu and of course all the staff of the Williams Lake BC SPCA will be on hand to showcase the new merchandise available and talk to you about the animals in our care.

Also this year the Cariboo’s Special Provincial Constable, Dale Bakken will be available to answer your questions about the BC SPCA. Hope to see you on Sunday September 9, 2012

# 191660 Mookie was originally at the shelter back in 2010 but she got the pleasure of being adopted.

Unfortunately she was found hit by a car and taken to the vet where they checked her over and found that she was going to be ok! Because she'd been adopted from us, she had a microchip for identifying her owners! More bad news though, that owner had given her away and changed her phone number so there was no way to find who she belonged to.

Mookie is a little unsure of other cats so she might do best in a one cat home

Kier reaches $100,000 mark for Big Brothers Continued from Page 1 Kier is reluctant to take much credit despite having raised funds totaling six figures.

“All I do is jump on a bike and ride to Gavin Lake and back.

It’s the supporters of Big Brothers and Sisters who so generously donate to a great cause

that deserve the credit,” said Kier.

Big Brothers and Sisters Coordinator Lorraine Levitt, like most, are in awe of Kier and his dedication to fitness.

“He leaves his home early in the morning and rides out to Gavin Lake, has a drink of water or a short break, and then

rides back,” said Levitt.

“It’s an uphill climb the entire way once you hit the turnoff at 150 Mile House, he’s incredible.”

Kier remains active doing Pilates every morning and regular spin classes.

He had never heard of the Tour de Cariboo until its second year in existence in 1994 when

his neighbour came asking for a pledge. From that day on he has been a regular participant of the tour.

Kier and his family moved to the lakecity 39 years ago after a family camping trip to Green Lake back in the early seventies convinced him to leave the Lower Mainland for

Cariboo Mountain Culture Unveiled in Wells The 6th annual 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge begins on September 15. 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 achievable but epic adventure, and receives popular support throughout the province as well as a wilderness stewardship award from the Wilderness Tourism Association. It's 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 Friends of Barkerville, who have been instrumental 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”

We absolutely loved it and wanted to move up here,” said Kier.

That trip Kier toured around 100 Mile House area and then found out the company he worked for had an office in Williams Lake. Kier worked at a J.T. O’Brien Insurance office in Vancouver at the time and set up a meeting with the owners of the lakecity branch.

“I met that fall with the late Don Sutherland, Tom Barr, and Elmer Jensen who ran the business and was offered a job. I moved to Williams Lake in March of 1973.”

Big bird action at Scout Island Contributed by Jenny Noble Our resident birds have provided a lot of excitement over the summer!

Observers have watched both Long-Eared Owls (7 babies!) and Ospreys raise chicks from fuzzy little wads to novice flyers. Our nestcam recorded tree swallows building their nest, laying and hatching eggs, feeding babies (a lot!) until they grew so big that the nest box seemed ready to burst.

Once they found their wings, they never came back and that was the end of our spying.

We’re really grateful to BC Hydro for the Osprey platform they provided last year.

They noticed some adult Ospreys checking out power poles across the channel, and that can be fatal if the birds fly into power lines. Hydro workers installed orange fibreglass triangles atop poles on the RC Cotton site to deter the Ospreys from unsafe perches. On the Scout Island side (beside the wheelchairaccessible Butterfly Trail) they then erected a very tall pole (typically 6 m higher than any energized lines), topped by a 4’x6’x1.5” yellow cedar platform sitting on 7’ cross arms held up with compression braces. They even placed sticks on the platform to attract the birds’ attention. It was too late for breeding last year, but some adult birds did investigate. A worthwhile investment by our public utility!

We were thrilled this spring to see three adults adding sticks to the nest and appearing to “flirt.” By mid-May they had built a recognizable nest and housekeeping seemed to be underway.

Summer staffer Kiera Dolighan committed to recording daily observations of their activity as her research project, and her data showed that the nest and platform were successful.

On June 4 she noted “Female continues moving and resettling into nest while looking down. Possible incubation?” She first saw the chicks on July 5,

a very hot day. The female seemed to be shading them from the sun. She saw two well-feathered chicks perched on the edge of the nest in midJuly. By mid-August they were stretching out their wings and seeming to levitate on gusts of wind. The parents would feed them a few bites of fish then take the rest to a nearby perch, perhaps trying to lure them into attempting flight.

What a moment that would be in the life of a fledgling! What a leap of faith to lift off from the nest for the first time, so high above the ground. On Kiera’s last day of work, Aug 23, one chick was seen perched on a telephone pole. We’re glad she got to witness that before she had to leave for school.

We were sorry to say good-bye to Kiera and her fellow summer staffers, Laura Ulrich, Caitlyn Langford and Kacie Young. They have returned to their Universities now, and we wish them all the best as they pursue their Science studies.

Most of Kiera’s observations were

made through the viewing scope, set up on the roof of the Nature House. You are welcome to go up there during open hours (typically 1-4 pm on weekends) and have a look for yourself.

This Saturday, September 8, would be a great time to peer through the scope as part of our Healthy by Nature event. We’re inviting everyone to come down and enjoy the fun activities and interactive displays.

The Cariboo-Chilcotin Conservation Society will be there with their innovative see-through composters, community/xeriscape garden displays, and hands-on Watershed and Waste Wise models. The WL Environmental Society will have an air quality display, and Tammy Keetch will be on hand to answer your questions. Slap your tail over to the “Way Cool Beaver School” – see through a series of hands-on activities how beaver kits learn, discover the beaver lodge and train your eye to spot beaver food along the Willow Trail.

Sign up for the Nature Olympics – a series

of nature challenges along the trails. Get your passport stamped then enter it into the draw for some great nature-friendly prizes.

Hosts will be on hand in the Nature House so you can explore to your heart’s content.

It all happens between 10 am and 3 pm, the event is free, so don’t miss this good time!

The CCCS and WLES will hold their AGMs in the McMechan Room from 1-2:30 that same day. Come chat about the year ahead; they’ll keep the business end quick. They’re committed to making the meeting an enjoyable time for all. Consider bringing a friend, get to know about these worthwhile groups and maybe even join their efforts.

This event is part of theHealthy by Nature project of the Conservation Society, WL Field Naturalists, WL Environmental Society and Scout Island. Our local governments (City of WL and CRD) support this kind of activity with annual funding that’s greatly appreciated.

What’s the Scoop! your guide to what’s going on in Williams Lake

To place your non-profit event listing you are invited to email no later than Thursday for the following week’s edition of the Cariboo Advisor reporter@caribooadvisor.com

IN THEATRES THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Eight years ago, Batman (Christian Bale) vanished into the night. He took the blame for the death of Harvey Dent, going from hero to fugitive, sacrificing everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) hoped was the greater good. Millionaire Bruce Wayne is now keeping a low profile and is in a sick and fragile state, hardly leaving his home. Depressed and empty, it is unclear whether he can recover from his losses. For a while, criminal activity in Gotham City was kept to a minimum due to the anticrime Dent Act, and it seemed as if Batman had disappeared for good and there was no longer any need for him. However everything begins to change when a cunning cat burglar (Anne Hathaway) with a mysterious agenda arrives on the scene.

Things turn for the worse when a terrifying masked terrorist by the name of Bane emerges in Gotham City. He’s powerful, ruthless, and has an army that will stop at nothing—it seems like Gotham is doomed to burn to the ground.

Batman must return to save Gotham City, however he’s not in tip-top shape and the task is much harder than it seems. Can he save the day with the help of Police Detective Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)? Will he escape capture? Will he have to sacrifice everything for the city he swore to protect?

THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL group of British retirees are enticed by advertisements to travel to India to stay at the Marigold Hotel, which has been restored as a retirement home by a young Indian man (Dev Patel) with the best of intentions.

However, when they arrive, they find the living accommodations aren’t quite as luxurious as portrayed in the brochure. Despite having to cope with broken furniture, phones that don’t work and food they can’t pronounce, they share a number of unconventional but hilarious experiences that bring them closer together.

Based on the novel “These Foolish Things”

The lady who teaches the course gave us a history of all the foods we were going to use for that days course. They grew a lot of the food in their gardens surrounding their resort and cooking school. I know many people enjoy Thai food, but with no Thai restaurants here in the laketown you pretty much have to cook it for yourself to get some of that wonder-

Make a few adjustments to remedy any uncomfortable situations. Take stock of your working relationships.

SEPTEMBER 25 Mark Hamill, Actor (61)

Capricorn, your drive for independence is very obvious to others this week. However, your determination could also put you in an unpredictable mood.

This is a good time to take a deep breath and lighten up your load and your feelings, Aquarius.

Tell some jokes or go out for a social occasion. You’ll be thankful you did.

People often sense that you can have your head on straight, Pisces. So don’t be surprised when you are asked for advice.
