Kier sets sights on 18th Tour de Cariboo

FOR ALL YOUR CLASSIFIED NEEDS, CALL JULIE AT 250-398-5516

Sean GlanvilleCariboo Advisor

Torry Kier is geared up to enter his 18th Tour de Cariboo this Saturday. He may be 78 years old but he is the only par-ticipant who cycles from Williams Lake to Gavin Lake and

back again in the same day.

All participants except for Kier leave the departure point at the Cariboo Memorial Complex on the Saturday morning and stay overnight at the Gavin Lake Forestry Camp before

heading home the fol-lowing day.

Kier however, leaves his home on 11th Avenue around 7 a.m. and after the 160 kilometre round trip to Gavin Lake he usually arrives back home just before dark around 7 p.m.

Kier, who runs TJ Kier Ltd. Accounting on Oliver Street, has raised more than $100,000 for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Williams Lake over the 18 years he’s participated in the tour.

He usually averages

around $6-$7,000 per year and is keeping this year’s tally secret as he does not want to disclose any details to his fundraising com-petitors. Prizes are awarded to the top fundraisers each tour.

Teen injuredin crash

The long weekend ended tragically for a pair of teenagers rid-ing 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 con-trol 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 callsThe Williams Lake

Courthouse build-ing 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 explo-sive device was inside the building at approxi-mately 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 court-house was cleared and the threat was deter-mined to be a hoax.

“The RCMP's inves-tigation into the source of this threat is continu-ing,” Brown said. “As it

was necessary to ensure the safety of everyone, precautions were taken, hence the reason the courthouse was evacu-ated 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 com-plaint 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

assist and unfortunately, the bear had to be dis-patched as it had run up a tree.”

On Monday, September 3, 2012, at approximately 5:30 a.m., the Williams Lake RCMP responded to an alarm at the Wildwood Elementary School. Police quickly arrived on scene and found signs of forced entry. Police checked the school and property but did not locate anyone. Police are asking for the public's assistance in locating who is responsible for this Break and Enter. If anyone has any

Sean Glanville photoThe 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 detour-ing traffic and pedestrians while waiting for the police dog from Prince George to arrive. There were no injuries as a result of this incident.

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 larg-est of the three unions involved, teamed up with the COPE and PEA to protest wages. The three are band-ing together to send a message loud and clear that government work-ers refuse to fall further behind in pay.

The dispute is cen-tered 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.

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

Nearly 1,800 work sites around the prov-ince will be affected by the walkout, including liquor stores, permit and government offic-es, forestry operations, and ICBC call centres. Expect complete clo-sures or reduced service

while essential services will be maintained.

BCGEU worker Darryl Walker said he hopes that after today’s strike action they will receive a call from the government to come back to the bargaining table with a renewed mandate and the two sides can sit down and hammer out a deal.

Walker says there

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

BC Liquor stores set to strike

Garlic correction

In the article titled Smell of Success pub-lished in last Wednesday’s paper it said the original South Cariboo Garlic Festival took place in 1999 in 100 Mile House. The first festi-val was held in 2000 in Forest Grove. The story also says “Carmen Wannop, also known as Garlic Gail…” It should have read Gail Szolosi, also known as Garlic Gail. For more infor-mation on the festival visit the website at www.goodnessofgarlic.com

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

The move also quite likely thwarted possi-ble roadblocks by First Nations this fall dur-ing 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 hunt-ing 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 har-vest monitoring, and management of preda-tors and feral horses.

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

Forest compa-

nies have also agreed to schedule their for-est harvesting activities to avoid conflict with guide outfitters operat-ing 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 analy-sis of moose manage-ment in the Cariboo, and results of that work will help inform future management decisions.

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

Deal reached on moose management


About 100 years ago Jack London wrote, “To Light a Fire”, a book so focused, purposeful and intentional that it’s still a favourite. All that was needed in that traveler’s quest was one thing - a match!

Parents recently began an important search of their own - buying children’s clothes for school. As I browsed through the T-shirts, I found myself hoping for a safe and happy school year; perhaps this year violence, harassment, and snobbery will play ‘hooky’ and skip school altogether. A little anxiety even intruded as I made clothing selections I hoped would discourage bullying - both the receiving and the giving

kind!There were

some T’s with cute sayings, others shouting mean-ingless drivel, and a smattering of the unprint-able. Sadly, it was impossible to skim the racks without seeing undesirable input just waiting for

the kids! Themes of vengeance, intimidation and arrogance were silk-screened everywhere. Generous amounts of the disre-spectful, crass, victimizing, rude and degraded awaited purchase as well.

What has made it okay to put stuff on our children that a self-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 chil-dren 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 mul-titude of options in order to find a prize. There were aggressive, hyper-masculine T’s for boys and plenty of “Come-and-get-it” 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 bla-zoned across our kid’s chests are qualities like persistence, integri-ty, 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 sim-ply remind ourselves that school is still a time and place of learn-ing. Not just the ABC’s and sci-ence 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 inten-tional. Perhaps I will peruse the T-shirts just a little longer. Because our children’s stories are still being written.

CARIBOO MEMORIAL RECREATION COMPLEX

Shopping for a t-shirt for back to school

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 uni-versity courses. Over the past few years early September has had me gearing up for another year at school. It usu-ally means walking around campus buy-ing textbooks, updat-ing 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 univer-sity 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 deci-sion that usually war-ranted one of my dad’s ‘differed gratification’ speeches. Those train-ing 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 won-dered 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 every-one 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 elemen-tary. Like most par-ents 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 sum-mer 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 run-ning around making friends. My wife start-ed 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 uni-versity or one day walk her down the aisle.

It’s funny how wed-dings 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 wed-ding.

I sympathize with those parents sending their high school grad-uates off to university for their first year away from home. It prob-ably 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 drive-way. “C’mon, is this really necessary,” I would whine. I real-ize 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.

They grow up too darn fast

The Titanic is sink-ing in Victoria. 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 quit-ting 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 legis-lature a member sits, I believe most of them work long and hard hours for their con-

stituents.

. . .

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 pro-vincially 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 envi-ronmental review for the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway proj-ect. I wonder why they would want to conduct a duplicate extra hear-ing, 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 under-way this Saturday and ‘Senior Citizen’ Torry Kier has raised more money than anyone over the years since this long bike ride to

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 accomplish-ment!

. . .

Remember it is back to school week, so please use a little extra care and caution while driving, especially in school zones.

ANIMALS IN NEED OF A LOVING HOME

The Paws for a Cause Walk-a-thon 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

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

LittleFoot #272775LittleFoot and her siblings traveled a long way to end up at the Williams Lake SPCA. LittleFoot's mom and all her babies were brought down from a very caring foster family that live in Smithers.LittleFoot is a very friendly little lady. This cat is a bundle of energy. She loves to play and is curious about everything. She is sure to keep you entertained and let you know when you are not paying enough attention.

Oceanside #272799Ocean was brought to the Branch after a long drive from Bella Coola. This family of young kittens were trying to find the basics of life at the Garbage disposal area. Surviving all the hungry wildlife that stalk the area these cute kittens were indeed lucky to be picked up by a caring person! Ocean side is a shy little man that loves attention which will help to get him socialized. This handsome redhead needs a special loving home, can you give it to him?? If you would like place an

advertisement in this SPCA Special, contact Shelley or Kathy at The Cariboo Advisor 250-398-5516

Mookie # 191660Mookie 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

Apollo # 268985Apollo and 2 other cats were brought to the shelter after a landlord discovered the tenants had left them behind when they moved. Apollo is still waiting patiently for his forever home. He is a very loving cat and loves attention.

Professional Bullrider's Association Finals, which takes place at the Stampede Grounds during the Williams Lake Harvest Fair Saturday and Sunday starting at 2 p.m.

Angie MindusCariboo Advisor

Rodeo fans are in for a real treat this weekend as B.C. Pro Bull Riding Finals action gets underway at the Stampede Grounds Saturday and Sunday during the Williams Lake Harvest Fair.

Local stock contractor C Plus Rodeos will be bringing in their best bulls for the annual event, which will see 20 of the province’s top bull riders compet-ing for cash and rankings over the two days.

Roy Call’s son Cody Call says seven local riders have made it into the top 20

spots this year, with Riske Creek’s Ryan Jasper currently sitting in second place on the leader board.

“There are a lot of great riding and rodeo talent coming out of the Williams Lake area right now,” said Call, whose father Roy manages the bulls behind the scenes while his uncle Earl Call works out front as one of the bull fighters.

As well as Jasper, fans can also keep their eyes out for other local riders ready to take on the Call bulls including; Robert Graham, Wacey Mulvahill, Jarred Beeds, Evan Fuller, Grayson Winters, Brady Fuller and Justin William.

Kier reaches $100,000 mark for Big BrothersKier 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 ask-ing for a pledge. From that day on he has been a regular participant of the tour.

Kier and his fam-ily moved to the lake-city 39 years ago after a family camping trip to Green Lake back in the early seventies con-vinced him to leave the Lower Mainland for

the open spaces of the Cariboo.

“Our family was living in Surrey and our neighbour offered to take our kids for a weekend and use his cabin at Green Lake. 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.”

A few months later in July during Stampede time his family includ-ing wife Pat, and their five children Debbie, Deline, Travis, Trevor and Todd all followed

him north.He enjoys the leisure-

ly pace of the Cariboo and does not regret leav-ing the hustle and bustle of the city.

“I hear people from

out west say ‘Williams Lake is so busy down-town’ and I tell them you drive from Hope to Horseshoe Bay on a given day and you’ll see busy,” laughed Kier.

Sean Glanville photoTorry Kier, 78, is ready to ride in this week-end's Tour de Cariboo. Kier will be competing in his 18th year and has raised more than $100,000 for WIlliams Lake Big Brothers and Sisters.

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 after-noon, (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, chal-lenge their abilities, celebrate and raise awareness about our frag-ile 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-mara-thons, as it is specifically designed to be achievable, not formidable! The crux of the attraction is the challenge. It is meant to be com-pleted, not necessarily won! The poker run, and awards for “7th place” and “Most Average Time”

are meant to acknowledge enjoy-ment, not just competition, for this event. Most of the 75 to 100 participants end up travelling in social groups of equal paced indi-viduals, who love travelling in the mountains. Some are hikers, some are die-hard bikers and this year, there are some trail runners going 'bike-free!'

Event organizer Dave Jorgenson says, “The Cariboo Mountains, and especially our weather, can make for an incred-ibly challenging event. They have given us the most colourful fall hikes under a warm sun and slowed our pace to a crawl with dense fog and snow storms… sometimes in the same after-noon!” Despite, or because of this, all participants leave the day with big grins on their faces. One past participant com-mented that “This event, and town (of Wells), has a differ-ent vibe than any other event I've ever participated in, or seen! They even supply a hot lunch in the middle of the day!”

In 2012 the Bike and Hike Challenge will be held on September

15. Start time is at 7:30 a.m. sharp and registration is accept-ed until the Thursday before the event. Registration is only $45, includes unique swag, mid-race lunch, and snacks. The event finishes with a banquet at the Bear's Paw Cafe.

The 7 Summits Bike and Hike Challenge, originally spawned from the Cafe owner's desire to engage more people in enjoying the mountains has grown into a provincial phenomenon. For more information on the event, photographs or registrations, visit www.7summitsbikeandhike.org

Big bird action at Scout IslandContributed byJenny 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 grate-ful to BC Hydro for the Osprey platform they provided last year. They noticed some adult Ospreys check-ing out power poles across the channel, and that can be fatal if the birds fly into power lines. Hydro workers installed orange fibreglass tri-angles atop poles on the RC Cotton site to deter the Ospreys from unsafe perches. On the Scout Island side (beside the wheelchair-accessible Butterfly Trail) they then erected a very tall pole (typi-cally 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 com-pression braces. They even placed sticks on the platform to attract the birds’ attention. It was too late for breed-ing last year, but some adult birds did inves-tigate. 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 recog-nizable nest and house-keeping seemed to be underway. Summer staffer Kiera Dolighan committed to record-ing daily observations of their activity as her research project, and her data showed that the nest and plat-form were successful. On June 4 she noted “Female continues moving and resettling into nest while looking down. Possible incu-bation?” 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 mid-July. 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 tele-phone 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, commu-nity/xeriscape garden displays, and hands-on Watershed and Waste Wise models. The WL Environmental Society will have an air qual-ity 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 com-mitted 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 gov-ernments (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

THE DARK KNIGHT RISESEight 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 every-thing 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 anti-crime 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?

IN THEATRES

THE BEST EXOTICMARIGOLD 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” by Deborah Moggach.

HOROSCOPE

Time to kick it up a notch cornI have taken three

cooking course while I have been visiting in Koh Chang Thailand. It was great and it rein-forced much of what I had learned on a similar course two years ago. The lady who teaches the course gave us a his-tory of all the foods we were going to use for that days course. They grew a lot of the food in their gardens surround-ing their resort and cooking school. I know many people enjoy Thai food, but with no Thai restaurants here in the laketown you pret-ty much have to cook it for yourself to get some of that wonder-

ful spicy taste that is a cross between Chinese and Indian foods. I will probably take another course next year when I am once again visiting Thailand. Much of the food ingredients for my recipes are available at Save-On Foods here in Williams Lake.

Here in the Cariboo

country I am taking time to enjoy the won-derful corn that is at the market

these days. Soda creek corn, on of my favourites is apparently now available and I just love doing these sweet cobbs on the barbecue and then using the corn for different recipes. I enjoy trying different recipes using corn and recently a friend gave me this neat corn dish...its different.Kick it up a notch corn2 slices of bacon1 tbsp bacon drippings3 tbsp butter1 cup chopped onion½ cup diced celery½ cup each of diced

green and red bell peppers

ery, green and red bell pepper, thu me salt, black pepper, pars-ley and Creole sea-sonings in the butter mixture until onion is clear... takes about 5 or 6 minutes. Stire in gbarlic and cook for another 2 or so minutes. Mix in beef broth, corn and bring to a boil, then simmer until broth is nearly evaporated and veg-gies are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon and serve.A tasty fall treat with

good tasting corn.Bye for now and

Aries, you will bring creativity and originality to a project at work this week. Working with people comes easy to you, so put your ingenuity to good use.

Taurus, you are entering a creative phase and others will admire and appreciate your work. But don’t allow the extra attention to go to your head. Be humble at every turn.

There are plenty of opportunities for communicating your ideas this week, Gemini. Expect quite a few meetings and other social occasions where you can discuss things with others.

Cancer, you have a basic idea of how you want to handle your fi nances, but you are open to suggestions, too. Consult with a professional if you are considering making major changes.

Your ability to supervise and organize people makes you unique, Leo. This role will become central to your lifestyle for the next few days as you tackle new responsibilities at work.

Virgo, opportunities to advance your career present themselves, but you are not sure if you are ready for a bigger role. Seek advice from trusted colleagues.

Libra, recreational activities are ideal ways for you to keep in shape and reduce stress over the course of the week. You could feel your troubles melt away.

Scorpio, you have a great interest in business and making career decisions that will work for you. That new venture you have been pondering takes a big step forward.

Interactions with coworkers could feel a little strained, Sagittarius. Make a few adjustments to remedy any uncomfortable situations. Take stock of your working relationships.

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.
