Dogs and bear spray are being credited in helping a surveyor escape a grizzly bear attack north of Tatla Lake this week.

Early Monday afternoon two surveyors, with their dogs nearby, were working on a cut block in the Chilanko area when a sow and two cubs appeared.

The sow aggressively approached one of the surveyors, coming within five feet of him, Sgt. Len Butler of the Conservation Officer Services said.

“She never bit, scratched or hit the surveyor, but was able to back him up quite a bit,” Butler explained, adding the other surveyor ran over with his dog to help.

The surveyor being attacked was able to fend the sow off with the help of the dogs and eventually with bear spray.

Butler praised the dogs as the heroes because they kept the cubs at bay and consistently challenged the sow.

“It was a defensive attack and a very intense encounter,” Butler said. “The surveyor had some scrapes and bruises from hitting the ground and bushes but he was OK, but when we interviewed him Monday night he told us he will not be returning to work at the site.”

Butler confirmed the COS has no intention of trapping and removing the bears because in a remote setting it doesn’t make sense.

“It sounds like this sow and her cubs came through and the surveyors were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said.

City council asks to co-host forum with TNG on title case Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer City council is offering to co-host a community forum with the Tsilhqot’in National Government to gain understanding of the effects of the Supreme Court’s recent declaration of title to the Tsilhqot’in for approximately 2,000 square kilometres in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region.

The move comes after Coun. Ivan Bonnell submitted a report, suggesting council acknowledge the Supreme Court decision, send a letter of congratulations to the TNG, and offer to cohost a forum.

“First Nations people are getting their grievances addressed on long outstanding issues on Aboriginal

Coun. Ivan Bonnell discusses forum proposal. title,” Bonnell said during the council meeting Tuesday.

“What that means in terms of our region I think is enough for the Tsilhqot’in people to advise us on how they are now going to proceed with their lands and what activities may or may not be compromised if their

consent is required.”

Bonnell quoted from the court decision saying the nature of Aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it, the exclusive right to decide how the land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.

“It’s a tremendous victory for our First Nations,” Bonnell told council. “In terms of our official community plan we are committed to working with First Nations in the region and I think this is a perfect opportunity for us to demonstrate how we are fully behind that commitment.”

Mayor Kerry Cook

agreed with Bonnell’s recommendation and said she had spoken with Xeni Gwet’in (Nemiah) Chief Roger William after the decision came down.

“This also came up at our meeting with the Northern Shuswap chiefs last week as an opportunity to edu-

cate and inform each other,” Cook said.

Cook reminded council that Premier Christy Clark has called a meeting with all of B.C.’s chiefs for Sept. 11.

“It will be an historical meeting with the caucus and all B.C. chiefs not only to dis-

Wildfires in B.C. have already burned up more forest than has usually been lost in recent years, with many weeks of hot, smoky action still expected.

Fires have burned 172,227 hectares since

April 1 – more than the average of 141,000 hectares burned over the previous 10 years.

“It has been quite busy,” fire information officer Navi Saini said Tuesday. “The danger ratings we saw for the last two weeks were the highest we’d seen since about 2010, which was the last busy fire season.”

In 2010, B.C. lost 337,149 hectares and spent $212 million fighting 1,673 fires.

Evacuation orders were issued for several communities that year.

There have been 652 fires so far this year and 128 of them were considered active as of Tuesday.

Inspector Brown relocating to Prince George The City of Prince George announced this week that Williams Lake RCMP Inspector Warren Brown has been hired as the new officer in charge of the Prince George RCMP. “Having worked as a Detachment Commander in New Hazelton and Williams Lake, I am familiar with and have faced similar challenges to those which Prince George faces,” Brown said in the Prince George city press release issued Wednesday.

“I look forward

RCMP Inspector Warren Brown to engaging with the many partners and stakeholders in the city and continuing the great work of Superintendent Eric Stubbs in crime reduction -

making Prince George a safer community for everyone.”

Thursday the City of Williams Lake and Mayor Kerry Cook issued a press release congratulating Brown on his appointment.

“We at the city are very proud of Inspector Brown, and congratulate him on his new position,” Mayor Kerry Cook said in the release.

“We know the Prince George detachment will benefit from an excellent leader and relationship builder.

Inspector Brown has

been instrumental in helping to lead the charge in our community against crime. He recognizes that crime prevention and reduction involves everyone, and has created a community-wide network of crime reduction partners. We will miss his dedication and hard work on behalf of Williams Lake and the entire region.”

Inspector Brown, in conjunction with Community Policing, the city, and community partners, has overseen a dramatic reduction in crime in the

city, including a more than 50 per cent drop in overall crime since 2008, the release said.

In the release Brown said his goals when coming to Williams Lake were to reduce crime, to make the community safer and to change the perceptions of Williams Lake as being a dangerous place to live.

In the five and a half years he has been here, Brown said he has enjoyed forging good relationships, partnerships, and friendships which he believes have enhanced the detach-

ment’s ability to meet its vision and goals.

“I’ve been fortunate to lead and participate in a number of very good initiatives that have seen a marked reduction in crime,” Brown said.

“The men and women at the RCMP detachment, the Community Policing volunteers, auxiliary members, and many agencies and community leaders have contributed as much as I have.

“Not only has Williams Lake been professionally rewarding,

but my family and myself were engaged in a great community. Although I look forward to this new challenge, it will be very difficult to leave a community that has been a very good home for us.”

The release says Brown will be leaving for Prince George in the fall and the process to select a new detachment commander will likely begin as early as next week.

The RCMP will identify qualified candidates, and will include the city in the final selection process.

Severity index ranks Williams Lake fourth in overall crime Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The 2013 Crime Severity Index (CSI) released Wednesday by Stats Canada, ranked Williams Lake fourth in overall crime, third in violent crimes and 294th in non-violent crimes.

Mayor Kerry Cook said although an im-

provement from 2008 and 2009 when Williams Lake ranked number one in overall crime and entered a category of its own, the new rankings are “certainly” not good enough.

“Crime has been reduced by 34 per cent, but we aren’t satisfied where we are,” Cook said. “It won’t change

overnight, however, we need to be optimistic that crime will be reduced further in the future.”

The 2013 CSI covered 304 communities across Canada serviced by police with populations exceeding 10,000 people, with statistics reported by the police.

Allergy sufferers know that the amount of pollen in the air is higher in the mornings between 5am and 10am. If you are sensitive to certain pollens, delay your walking until later in the day. If you need advice on some medicinal help with your allergies, talk to our pharmacists.

Heat stroke is a very serious medical emergency that occurs when the body cannot regulate its internal temperature. Body temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism doesn’t work so the body can’t cool down.

Body temperatures can rise above 104°F (40°C). Other warning signs are rapid pulse, throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion. Keep the person cool and seek medical help.

We’re in the middle of the barbecue season and red meat is a very strong attraction to many people. There is a worry that cooking meat on a high flame produces chemicals thought to promote cancer. Marinating the meat in a non oil-vinegar or lemon juice mixture reduces these chemicals. Also keep the servings down to about four ounces in size.

Brown said Thursday the stats can be misleading and it’s the cities with populations close to 10,000 that end up in the top 10.

While the population of Williams Lake is presently 10,919, Brown said as the “hub” city for outlying communities, the city actually services 25,000 to 30,000 people.

“We have known that 65 per cent of our crime is committed by people who live outside the city,” he said.

Williams Lake’s RCMP detachment remains one of the busiest in B.C. and with available resources it will always be a challenge, Brown said, adding the RCMP continues to work with

stakeholders in the community and other agencies to help reduce crime.

“We’ve worked hard to bring it down but we still have a lot of crime in the city,” Brown said.

Canadian police services reported just over 1.8 million criminal incidents in 2013, down approximately 132,000 from the

previous year, Stats Canada said in a press release accompanying the CSI. While most offences were down in 2013, some police services reported more incidents of extortion, child pornography, aggravated sexual assault (level 3), sexual violations against children and identity fraud.

Cariboo Lodge site future subject of new study Monica Lamb-Yorski Staff Writer The city is applying for a $10,000 interest free loan from Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation to study options for the Cariboo Lodge site on Fourth Avenue North.

In a report to council, manager of social development Anne Burrill said the .52 hectare site which is owned by the city would be ideal for mixed use affordable housing.

“The site is located in the downtown core, across from our major children’s park and the Seniors Activity Centre,” Burrill wrote.“It is walking distance to most services and an ideal location for a mixed-use development.”

Presently the majority of the site is occupied by a building that is unusable and requires redevelopment, Burrill noted, adding the remaining useable part of the building is currently leased to a local non-profit and used as a tertiary care housing facility for people with mental illness.

A housing study conducted in 2011-2012 with CMHC funding was updated in the spring.

The update identifies housing for youth, as well as low income single people, families and seniors as a priority for the community.

Beautiful British Columbia travels uncover shared recipe for chicken with shrimp red wine sauce A few years ago I traveled across this wonderful province and the trip made me once again realize how fortunate we are to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

I went fishing in the Kitimat area and that took me into the Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, Smithers and Terrace regions. The northwest is truly picturesque and the fishing was pretty decent.

Following the northwest adventure, the next week I travelled to Panorama Mountain Village Resort just out of Invermere in the Columbia Valley not far from the Alberta border.

From one side of the province to the other, it is all just spectacular.

From the beautiful Panorama Resort I went through Cran-

eas.

We are indeed lucky to live in such a wonderful part of the world.

It sometimes takes a trip away from our own Cariboo, to realize that we are not the only area with such abundance of beauty.

Here’s a recipe I picked up from a lady at Panorama Resort.

I like it because it is quick and tasty and you use the microwave to cook most of the meal.

Faster not necessarily better It’s getting quicker to get around parts of British Columbia.

Earlier this month, the provincial government announced new, higher speed limits on 35 sections of rural highways, with more promised for later in the summer.

In total, drivers will be able to put their gas foot down a little harder on 1,300 kilometres of blacktop.

The Ministry of Transportation says serious crashes on provincial highways have decreased 28 per cent since 2003.

Cars are safer, drivers have more and better technology and education at their disposal.

Enforcement is better.

While lead-footed drivers and owners of fast cars may celebrate the decision, not everyone is happy.

The RCMP officers who patrol many of those highways and attend to the carnage that sometimes results from excessive

speeding don’t like the new limits.

ICBC is worried about safety and vows to monitor those stretches of highway that have new limits to see if there’s an effect on crash rates and severity.

Truckers aren’t pleased with the new rules, either. The BC Trucking Association says it will direct drivers to stick to its current speed policies because the faster a fully loaded truck travels, the longer it takes to stop.

Also, the faster a truck moves, the more fuel it consumes — and that money comes out of the pockets of truckers and, ultimately, consumers.

To alleviate safety concerns, the province has said it will adjust speed limits to weather conditions on some of those stretches of highway.

Too many drivers already treat speed limits as a suggestion, rather than law. Now, their threshold has just been raised.

ashcroft buildings burn

Lauren Gilbert photo (James Teshima photo inset)

Firefighters were able to save the Ashcroft Manor and Teahouse on Highway 97 when fire engulfed and destroyed several old buildings next door to the manor last Friday night. Ashcroft fire chief Brian Henderson said the buildings had been vacant since the 1960s and belonged to the Department of Transport.

What to do with all those wisps, Canada?

During a recent trans-Canada flight, I opened to the opinion column in the Toronto Star, and was instantly captivated by Heather Mallick’s wit.

“Troubled, obsessive people seek to control the lives of others,” she said, and her words stirred up a gut-level response . . .

“Pro-lifers stick their fingers into the uterine decisions of women,” she said, forgetting that surgical probes do just that.

Why are we more bothered by pithing a frog in biology (don’t look that up!) than when the same thing is done to babies?

OK, call them fetuses if you like, but some of those fragile little wisps survived.

And they turned out to be people, actual humans!

Internationally, Canada is a peacemaker.

And the abortive mothers’ 800 per cent increase in suicide tells us it’s not good.

A woman has the right to use her body as she wishes.

But who will hover over the rights of our most vulnerable – the unborn? Abortion is a choice, but it’s anything but free.

It removes millions of little choices, without asking.

Whatever happened to selflessness? Does character make our decisions, or are we run by expediency?

Pro-choice, I am, I guess — but

not for me.

I believe in future choice for the unborn, and in developing brains instead of scrambling them.

Could we perhaps mold our tiniest challenges into assets instead of cauterizing them?

Those little wisps are as vapourous as a cloud on a hot day.

But what they become will depend on who we are.

My ‘wisps’ will be home for Christmas this year! One heavyduty equipment operator, one drug dealer, one lawyer, two health care professionals and one handicapped angel.

But The Star wouldn’t print this rebuttal. So I offer it to you.

Canada, it’s time to land.

I’d love to hear your story, unless you’re just too busy reading one to a tiny wisp of your own.

B.C. back in the black, deep in debt B.C. Views

with Tom Fletcher

When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign.

Pages of election quotes from almost every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed.

It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s pre-election fiscal plan.

“It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said then-leader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more.

Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.”

As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two

per cent.

It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement.

New agreements remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to see the same cost control results for the current year.

Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce.

Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline.

Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is.

But the biggest fabrication of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus.

The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008.

The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures.

“We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said.

“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most farfetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics.

The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural

gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage.

Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead.

The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.

Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales.

The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus.

Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election?

It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

Freelance writer gets his start in Horsefly Bruce MacLeod

Special to The Tribune/Advisor When I was a boy, I worked for four years on what is now the Walters Ranch in Horsefly.

It was called The Calloway Ranch then, and was jointly owned by an American named Calloway and managed in partnership by Gordon Thomson.

Gordon was from the Black Diamond Country in Alberta, and was quite a legend in his own time.

A lightweight boxer of some renown as well as a cowboy, he had been Parade Marshall of the Calgary Stampede, and had many pictures which he showed me on occasion. The Thomson family is well documented in the

Alberta Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Gordon was born Sept. 11, 1912.

He had his first boxing match where his name was on the card when he was 17, and fought a man twice his size and earned $5 for his efforts.

He continued to box when he could and in 1932 Gordon beat out all contenders in his weight class and qualified for the Olympic trials in Toronto.

He hitched a ride on a boxcar load of cattle going to the Queen city and his first night there he slept at the YMCA where his roommate stole all his money, so Gordon hadn’t eaten for two days when he fought his first match against the last Olympic champion from Montreal Harold Stuart.

He could hardly lift his arms in the last round and Harold opened up a deep cut on Gordon’s nose, so the fight was stopped and Harold was awarded the victory.

Gordon still had to get back to Calgary, which was a hair raising experience riding the freights.

This is the kind of person Gordon was. He didn’t know the meaning of back up. He only went forward. I grew to love him as a second father.

I started working on the ranch when I was 11 years (fall 1953), and left in 1957 when it changed ownership and I moved on to hay for Lou Hudgens on the Woodjam Ranch for the summer of 1958 until I left to join the army that September.

In 1953 I cleared willows from

potential hay fields, picked rocks and sticks onto a stone boat (two logs with rough 2 x 12’s across about 12 feet long by 6 wide). I got a job doing chores through the winter.

Gordon had married a younger lady named Mary, and they were starting a family.

My chores consisted of feeding the pigs, chickens, cattle, horses, and the worst job in the world, milking the cows, of which there were always at least two wild range cows which were kept producing milk after their calves were weaned. I received 50 cents a day, which was a princely sum at the time.

In 1954, my first year haying, I was started at $3 a day, which was raised to $4 after a few days.

I was small, and although I built a couple of haystacks in a reasonable fashion, it wasn’t long before I found my true vocation, which was driving the rake with a team of horses.

I was so small, even when standing on a milking stool, I could barely manage to get the harnesses on the team, however, once I had mastered that, it became a regular chore for me as well.

We had two teams; a light team for the rake, and a much larger team of matched grey/ white mares for the mower.

I truly loved working with horses, and imagined one day I would be a cowboy, the same as Mr. Thomson, and so many I saw in Horsefly and Williams Lake.

BC Assessment uses new technology driving through the Cariboo to update rolls Digital cameras mounted on a clearlymarked van will soon be on the residential streets throughout the Cariboo region as BC Assessment uses innovation to update photos used for property assessment purposes.

The residential photo update initiative will take street

front digital photos of approximately 4,000 single family homes in the Quesnel area, 3,300 in the Williams Lake area and 475 in 100 Mile House starting in late July and running through early August.

Free? Really?

The Williams Lake Stampede is a wonderful time of the year in the life of our beautiful community.

This year some folks from a few churches in town came together to do something special during the Street Party. It began with the generosity of the Salvation Army and Captains Ben and Isabel Lipper. Understandably proud, the captains entered their beautiful First Response vehicle in the parade. This fully equipped kitchen-on-wheels really stood out among the many parade entries.

Anyone paying attention during the parade noticed a large colorful banner fastened up high on the Salvation Army First Response vehicle. The banner declared “We Love Williams Lake!” and it was sponsored by some of the churches of Williams Lake. We love being a part of this community. We love this city and we love this region!

After finishing the parade route, the Salvation Army parked their vehicle in front of Cariboo Quality Cleaners. Within minutes the shade awning was rolled out and tables were set up. Neon coloured poster boards declared messages not normally seen at an event like the Street Party: “Free Pop, Free 100% Juice, Water, Want Prayer?”

Folks from local churches waited behind the tables, smiling, ready to

PARSONS PEN

BY JEREMY VOGT offer refreshment on a warm sunny day without cost or obligation.

Many folks came quickly to the tables, grateful and smiling at the array of sweet drinks and cold water. Others came more slowly, suspicious of anything labeled ‘free’. Many Street Party attendants passing by were heard to say “Free? Really?” A few came to the table with money, looking for a way to pay for the drinks offered there. There was no place to put money, but the serving crew was always ready to receive a handshake or exchange a smile.

The crew at the Salvation Army vehicle gave away more than 200

waters, 160 juice boxes and 500 cans of pop. The team handed out 350 small cards with positive, encouraging words from the Bible printed on back.

What was the point? The attitudes and actions we exhibit, whether positive or negative, tend to affect our social environment. Small acts of kindness and generosity can become catalysts for all kinds of positive effects in a community.

That is part of the hope we carry as Christians. We believe our faith should translate into actions, and that our faith actions should increase beauty, goodness, kindness and love in the world.

Perhaps, though, there is a deeper message behind this event. We gave away something sweet and refreshing, but we believe God offers us something infinitely more important because of Jesus Christ. He offers us new life, hope, and healing. The apostle Paul wrote these amazing words--“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” (New Living Translation, Romans 5:8) Jesus paid a price we could not, and freely extends to us the gift of abundant, eternal life as we trust in Him (Romans 6:23). We can’t pay for it, we can only receive it.

Free. Really!

Arts council concert stunning Steve Hunter Special to Tribune/Advisor Pews were packed at the St. Peter’s Anglican church well before the performance Saturday, July 19.

There was standing room only at the back by the time the Morin/Bruns family trio began their exquisite program of classical music.

Promoting an event like this during the busy summer months was no easy task but the Community Arts Council of Williams Lake made a heroic effort to get the word out and it paid off.

The church itself was a natural choice for the concert. The acoustics were worthy of this top notch professional Montreal based couple and their fourteen year old daughter. Music soared to the lofty heights of the church from the alter to the foyer. Piano man Kev-

The cello was a story in itself. Steve Hunter recalled his 50 years of history with the cello, (a Fiorini circa1870).

His father played it for decades.

a student of James Hunter.

A humourous condition was placed on the sale that Morin should play the cello in Williams Lake. Three years later there they were.

The audience, the very young and old alike were plainly awestruck by the performance.

The one hundred and twenty plus crowd raised more than $1,000 dollars for the arts council. The money will be used for children’s art and music camps.

The Morins asked for no fee. They traveled and played at their own expense solely to support the WL Community Arts Council.

A stellar performance.

stampede supports cariboo foundation hospital trust Monica Lamb-Yorski photo

Cariboo Foundation Hospital Trust’s Rick Nelson (left), Joy Hennig and Carol Taphorn accept donations from Cindy Watt, Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond, Cariboo Regional Hospital District Chair John Messier and Williams Lake Stampede Association president Fred Thomas. The funds were raised by the Tough Enough to Wear Pink campaign spearheaded by the Stampede Association this year in memory of Bruce Watt, longtime Stampede volunteer. The campaign raised $4,000 at the Stampede by collecting $1 from every ticket on the Sunday, and $790 through a CRD challenge to its staff and elected officials.

Messier said $210 of the money raised by the CRD went to GR Baker Hospital Auxiliary in the North Cariboo. Cindy Watt topped up the funds for a total of $5,000.

The Stampede Association is proud to support the foundation because the foundation works for better health care for everyone in the community, Watt said.

Fresh flavours at local farmers markets Cindy Bossio Special to Tribune/Advisor Fresh flavours and familiar faces are something to look forward to at local farmers markets.

There is nothing like fresh picked corn with kernels so crisp, or the smell of vineripened tomatoes, harvested at their peak and purchased from a local farmers’ market.

With more than 125 farmers’ markets spread across British Columbia, chances are there is one near you!

Items available at the market change with the growing season.

Buy your favourite foods each week but try something new too.

If your local market is like my favorite one, there are often

Thank you so much.

free samples, so you can try before you buy.

Try preparing your veggies in different ways such as on the grill, pureed in a soup, or blended in a smoothie.

The options are endless!

Fresh herbs are also a great find to add to your favourite recipe.

Markets are as different as the communities they serve.

Some are festive events with artists, musicians, and a huge variety of fresh produce and locally made products.

Others might feature a few stalls with one farmer supplying most of the produce.

Besides providing an abundance of locally grown vegetables and fruit to help keep you healthy, markets also contribute to the health of

the community.

They are a great place to socialize, enjoy the fresh air, listen to some music, and meet the farmer that grows your food.

Local farms employ local people — when you buy from a producer in your area, you support the local economy.

This summer check out the markets in your area.

Visiting a market

makes a great outing for kids, seniors or out-of-town guests.

Some communities even offer free public transportation to the market.

Storm pulls off two soccer upsets Sean Glanville Staff Writer Last place finishers during the regular season, WL Storm, pulled off a pair of upsets in the Williams Lake Men’s Soccer League playoffs this week to earn a spot in Saturday’s final.

On Wednesday, Storm downed league champions and top seed Celtic Engineering 4-0. Pablo Aguero scored a pair of goals to pace the Storm, with Ken MacInnis and Michael Mthandazo chipping in with a goal each. Storm netminder Travis Nystoruk picked up the shutout in goal.

Nystoruk credits finally having a full roster and solid positional play for their success.

“We finished at the bottom because we struggled to field a full team most nights. The last couple games everyone’s showed up and they’ve played their positions and know their role on the team,” said Nystoruk.

The Storm will battle WLFC in the final, as they downed United Floors 3-2 in Tuesday’s other semi final.

WLFC trailed 1-0 at halftime but came out flying in the second half scoring

three goals in the first 20 minutes to jump out to a 3-1 lead.

Diego Flores led the offence with a pair of goals.

United Floors mounted a serious comeback and got one back to cut the lead to 3-2. They had a great chance to tie the game but Nick Iachetta was robbed in close by goalkeeper Randy Riplinger.

Despite being dominated

by WLFC all season, Storm are optimistic they can win Saturday.

“We’re really starting to play as a team and we’re looking forward to the final on Saturday. WLFC is one of the team’s we’ve struggled against this year but we should give them a good game,” said Nystoruk.

Storm advanced to the semis with a win over Windsor Plywood in a play-in game on Monday.

Despite Windsor dominating possession and having the lion’s share of chances, Storm were able to squeak out a 2-1 victory thanks to some stellar netminding from Nystoruk.

“He made a lot of pointblank saves and was easily their best player,” said Windsor Plywood defender Kevin Ernst. “We (Windsor) were all over them and dominated most of the

Storm took a 1-0 lead through Aguero late in the first half with Windsor lobbying for an offside call on the play. Brandon Phillips doubled Storm’s lead midway through the second

half to make it 2-0. Windsor finally broke through on a Josh Mayard goal with about five minutes to go to cut the deficit to 2-1.

The men’s final kicks off at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Esler Soccer Complex with the consolation final

Rodeo champ chases down truck thief Former Williams Lake resident and steer wrestling world champion Lee Graves was involved in an unfortunate and bizarre incident just prior to the start of the Calgary Stampede.

Graves, who had just returned home to Alberta after competing at the Williams Lake Stampede only a few days earlier, found himself chasing down a crook instead of a cow this time.

RCMP in Black Diamond, AB say shortly before midnight (PT) on Tuesday, July 8 they received reports of a stolen truck and horse trailer containing three horses.

The horses belonging to Graves were valuable roping and steer wrestling horses — Dave, HYTY and Snap.

RCMP say Graves had parked his truck and trailer alongside the Black Diamond Hotel an hour earlier but noticed it gone when he came out.

Police were patrolling the area and later Graves spotted his rig in Black Diamond.

He was able to climb onto the running boards of the truck and pleaded with the driver to stop for fear of injury to his horses.

The driver sped away and crashed into a barrier, throwing Graves off the vehicle.

Police located the rig abandoned in Turner Valley a short time later with all three horses still inside.

RCMP say the horses were very distraught and sustained cuts and bruising from being slammed around during the driving.

Unfortunately the horses had to be pulled from the upcoming Calgary Stampede.

Graves suffered minor injuries but was able to compete at the Stampede through the weekend.

The canine team was called in a short time after the driver was located.

RCMP arrested Joshua Lemire, 23, of Turner Valley.

Lemire is now facing charges of theft over $5,000, dangerous driving causing bodily harm, criminal negligence causing bodily harm, endangering animals and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.

Lemire, who is well known to police, was also arrested for breaching an unrelated court order and was set to appear in court July 15.

Presenting the check are Darren Getz, Louise Emsley-Leik, Bruce Combs and Brent Bernier.

B.C. Summer Games alumni head to Glasgow Following on the heels of the successful Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games, where 2,414 athletes had their first multisport experience, there is a new focus this week on the 2014 Commonwealth Games set to take place in Glasgow, July 23 to August 3.

The BC Games are a stepping stone for athletes to progress to higher levels of competition including the Commonwealth Games. Team Canada at the 2014 Commonwealth Games includes 31 BC Games alumni taking part in 10 sports.

There are 82 athletes from BC on the team so those with a BC Games experience make up 37 per cent of the BC athletes.

Three of Team Canada’s athletes have a strong connection to Nanaimo and the last time the BC Summer Games were held there in 2002.

Triathlon made its debut as a sport at the 2002 BC Summer Games. Kirsten Sweetland of Victoria was just 13 years old when she competed at those Games and came home with a gold medal.

She has said that, “The BC Games were my first major goal and after accomplishing that goal, I kept setting higher and higher goals for myself.”

After narrowly missing the 2008 Olympic team, she has battle a series of

injuries but, is now recovered and set to be part of her first major multisport Games.

Riley McCormick of Victoria was one of the youngest athletes at the 2002 BC Summer Games in Nanaimo.

At just 10 years old, he won a bronze and

silver medal at Games and has gone on to a successful career including two Olympic Games.

On the girls side of the diving competition in 2002, North Vancouver’s Emma Friesen won gold and silver.

Friesen and Mc-

Cormick are now representing Canada in Diving at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Kelly Mann, President and CEO of the BC Games Society remembers, “At the Closing Ceremony of the 2002 BC Summer Games, Nanai-

mo Games president Dave Bakes said to the athletes, ‘Go out and make Nanaimo proud.’

These three athletes and our other 28 alumni have certainly made Nanaimo, the BC Games Society and British Columbia proud and we will

In collaboration with Success by 6 and Children First, the Early Childhood Development Network (ECDN) is hoping to raise awareness of the importance of developmental screening of preschoolers. A rack card has been produced that encourages parents of 3 year olds to seek out a simple questionnaire they can complete on their own or with assistance. Depending on where they go for the screening tool, they will receive either the Ages & Stages questionnaire or the Nipissing questionnaire. You can get a simple questionnaire from your early learning and care provider including: StrongStart, Public Health, Child Development Centre (CDC), Pregnancy Outreach Program, Child Care Resource & Referral (CCRR), Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD), Preschools, Denisiqi & Cariboo Friendship Society.

whether you have the right equipment, bike fit, or are worried about how to train in order to feel prepared to complete the distance, don’t worry — there is more information to come to put you at ease and motivate you to commit to participating in this great event!

Are you in the market for a new bike?

There really is nothing more important for creating a great cycling experience than matching yourself — your body, goals and dreams — to the right bike. There are a variety of ways to fit a bike and since everyone and every type of bike is different, sometimes it’s easiest to speak to someone with years of experience with bike fitting.

This will allow them to identify a bike that will suit your needs, goals and expectations.

Scott Gordon at Barking Spider and Mark Savard at Red Shred’s are both excellent resources in Williams Lake.

fit is essential to minimize your risk of injury and maximize both the comfort and efficiency of your ride. Remember, these are good general guidelines, but the ultimate No. 1 rule with bike fitting is comfort.

The first step to a proper bike fit is to make sure you have the right frame size.

Stand over your bike’s top tube (in between the saddle and handlebars). The general ruleof-thumb for road biking is to have roughly one inch of clearance between your buttocks and the frame. For mountain biking on trails, you should have two to six inches depending on the terrain.

From here, we are going to discuss the proper setup for road riding. What you will need is: your bike, a

helper (friend, family or volunteer) and a plumb line. The first step is finding the appropriate saddle height.

Sit on the saddle with your hips parallel to the ground. Place the crank arms of the pedals in line with the seat tube (your feet are at a 12 and 6 o’clock position). When your foot is at the 6 o’clock position, you should have a slight bend in the knee — approximately 10 degrees is desired. Be aware that your hips should not rock or bob while pedalling as this will place stress on the low back and indicates that the seat height is too high.

When making saddle height adjustments make them slowly, as even a one-centimetre adjustment can have a drastic affect on how the bike feels and it may alter how stress is placed through the knees. Next is to adjust the fore/aft saddle position and saddle level.

To do this you want to place the crank arms of the pedals so they are parallel with the ground (feet in 9 and 3 o’clock position).

Have the helper drop a plumb line from the front of the knee that is in the 3 o’clock position down to the ground. The plumb line should fall through the centre of the pedal (pedal axle).

If it falls in front of the pedal, you will need to move the saddle back a little and conversely, if it falls behind, you will need to move the saddle forward a little.

For saddle level, as a general rule, it’s always best to start with the saddle in a perfectly level position.

Researchers work to save bats Bat biologists converging in B.C.’s Flathead River Valley near Fernie hope to gain new information to advance bat conservation in B.C.’s southeast.

Ultimately they hope to minimize the impacts of White Nose Syndrome, a mysterious disease that has killed millions of North American bats.

The four-day Bat BioBlitz, is organized by conservation groups in B.C. and Alberta and led

by Wildlife Conservation Society Canada’s bat biologist, Dr. Cori Lausen.

The session will build on an initial inventory of Flathead bats that Lausen con-

White Nose Syndrome subject of bat study. ducted last summer during a BioBlitz.

That inventory detected two species of bats in the Flathead that are considered federally Endangered by the Committee on Endangered Wildlife in Canada: little brown myotis and northern myotis.

“In the southeast

corner of B.C., the Flathead may be the gateway for entry of White Nose Syndrome into B.C., and it is thus urgent to start monitoring bats in this area,” said Lausen.

“Significant bat hibernation caves have never been found in B.C. and yet the Flathead is surrounded by karst

and has the deepest cave in all of Canada.”

Scientists have known for a long time that B.C.’s Flathead River Valley – adjacent to Waterton Glacier International Peace Park – is a hotspot for plant and large mammal biodiversity.

But very little was known about the bats, birds and smaller creatures that inhabit the valley until conservation groups and scientists, including from the Royal BC Museum, organized BioBlitzes in 2012 and 2013.

White Nose Syndrome, responsible for the deaths of more than seven million North American bats, is a poorly-understood fungal disease that

Handlebar position vital Continued From Page A22 If you are sliding forward from a forwardtilted saddle, your neck, arms and back will be taking more stress and strain, and if the saddle is tilted backwards, you may place undue strain on your low back.

Achieving proper upper body posture through correct handlebar positioning is important for comfort and efficiency.

When you lean forward, placing your hands on the handlebars, the handlebar should obscure your view of the front hub.

If the hub is in front of the handlebar, you will need a slightly shorter stem and if the handlebar is behind, you will need a slightly

longer stem.

The body angle when hands are on the handlebars should be approximately 45 degrees, however, this varies depending on the type of bike and the fitness level of cyclist.

If you are a competitive cyclist, you may want a slightly steeper angle for better aerodynamics whereas if you are into touring or new to cycling, a more relaxed angle is more comfortable.

Lastly, if you ride a bike with clip-less pedals, determining the position of the cleats on your cycling shoes is very important. Misaligned cleats can put stress through all joints of the lower body including: the foot, ankle, knee, hip and lower back.

The cleat should contact the pedal at the ball of your foot and the feet should point forward when clipped into the pedals. As a general rule-of-thumb there should be no twisting stress in your leg as you pedal.

A bike helmet is mandatory.

The helmet should fit snug, touching the head all the way around. It should sit level with the chinstrap comfortably snug and stable enough that it remains in place in the event of a fall.

Additional equipment to discuss —need to have and nice to have — include padded gloves, padded cycling shorts, a multi-tool, pump, spare tube and tire levers.

Padded gloves are helpful in absorbing vi-

bration and preventing road rash. Padded cycling shorts are a great investment especially for longer rides (always best to be comfortable).

Carrying a multi-tool, pump, spare tube and tire levers will ensure you have the tools necessary to change a flat tire and tighten any component on the bike that may work its way loose.

For more information or clarification, there are many helpful resources on-line by searching key words “bike fitting.”

To register for the Tour de Cariboo, contact Williams Lake Big Brothers and Big Sisters at 250-398-8391 or online at www.bbswlake. com. Pledges can also be collected online.

Stay tuned for an upcoming article on training tips.

kills bats while they hibernate. The disease is moving from east to west and has reached the Great Plains but is not yet found in B.C. “It’s very important that we understand what bat species are present in B.C. and where they hibernate before White Nose Syndrome arrives,” said Lausen. “Once we’ve established what bats are present in the Flathead, we will know what types of habitats need to be protected for bat populations to recover following White Nose die-back, and optimistically we may be able to help bats survive the disease.”

“We’re optimistic that the first extensive bat inventory in the Flathead will lead to a greater understanding of how to help these endangered bats survive,” said Wildsight executive director John Bergenske.

Province defends shift from Martin Mars water bombers Jeff Nagel Special to Tribune/Advisor

Photos submitted

Former fire fighter the Martin Mars water bomber in action.

The provincial government is defending its unpopular decision to halt B.C.’s use of the veteran Martin Mars water bombers

in favour of newer aircraft to fight wildfires.

The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch responded as campaigners closed in on a target of 20,000 signatures on a petition

Fire Boss air tankers lighter and quicker.than old water bombers. urging the premier to reinstate the 1940sera amphibious plane.

Organizer Chris Alemany planned to deliver the petition Thursday to Christy Clark’s constituency office in West Kelowna, where residents had been under evacuation order from the Smith Creek wildfire.

Critics argue the province is spending more money to get less firefighting service than it had with the famous Martin Mars planes.

B.C. instead has contracted the use of four Air Tractor “Fire Boss” water-scooping amphibious planes from the Conair Group of Abbotsford for $2.5 million per season.

The much smaller aircraft are more flexible because they can operate from more than 1,700 lakes compared to just 113 with the Mars.

The new planes can also drop water, foam or retardant on a fire, with an ability to deliver 3,025 litres on a seven-minute turnaround, compared to 19,000 litres with the Mars on a 19-minute round trip.

The branch said in a statement the new Fire Bosses delivered fire suppressant twice as fast during the recent West Kelowna fire — 586,000 litres in 11.3 hours — as the Martin Mars dropped during the 2003 Kelowna fire.

“Over the past six weeks, the new Fire Boss aircraft have ac-

tioned more fires than the Martin Mars did in six years.”

Today there’s only one Martin Mars left in the province, owned by the Coulson Group on Vancouver Island.

According to the province, it offered the firm an “as when needed” contract for the 2014 fire season but got no response.

The government statement noted the Mars engines are prone to breakdowns, while if one Fire Boss breaks down the other three can stay in service.

Separate planes can also be split up to attack multiple different targets at once, which officials say is particularly useful in fighting a series of fires after intense lightning.

The Mars, meanwhile, has a large drop pattern that the branch said can make it unsafe to use close to ground crews, who must stop work during a drop, risking the escape of a fire that could have been contained during the initial attack phase.

The province also uses various other air tankers and helicopters in fighting fires.

More than 100 helicopters are currently in use around the province.

The province brought in an additional 153 firefighters from Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick Tuesday, joining 350 other outof-province personnel.

Orville Joseph Lorne Williams 1942-2014

More than 60 years after his first glimpse of ‘the Cariboo’ Orville Williams has now passed beyond and is headed for the great hunting ground in the sky. He was gone in a second, without pain and in the presence of a longtime friend, Joe. At the age of seven Orv became driven with the thought of becoming a real cowboy and residing in the Williams Lake area.

Upon graduation in his then hometown of North Vancouver, he chose to become a psychiatric nurse and carried on as such for a few years - then back to the books - final destination Williams Lake, with a teaching degree in hand. He elected to reside in the 140 Mile House area and spent his professional life educating those in junior high.

He was a dedicated, genuine teacher who put forth the supreme effort in contributing to their education. At one point he spent a few years as the principal at Alexis Creek. Upon his return he took a few years off and diversified into the meat shop and butcher profession but soon returned to his love of teaching and eventually retired in 1997.

Over the years Orv worked with the RCMP as an auxiliary member and went on to assist in setting up the rural Crime Watch program and was instrumental in creating the computer package for the Community Policing.

He was always in the mode of caring for others, giving a hand at whatever - surely a person of true substance. His elder sister Eleanor (Willy) and kid brother Cam, along with his two children Courtney and Adam will miss him greatly and his presence of mind as he has been a true tower of strength during this life.

“ORV WILLIAMS HAS NOW LEFT THE ROOM” Safe journey dear one.

At the direction of Orv there will be no celebration of life to take place.

Remember him as he was and should you wish to give a donation to his memory, please do so to your choice of charity on his behalf.

Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with all arrangements.
