After a breach in the tailings pond from Mount Polley copper and gold mine, a water advisory is in effect.

The water advisory to not drink water in the Quesnel Lake, Cariboo Creek, Hazel-tine Creek and Polley Lake areas remains in effect and is extended to include the entire Quesnel and Cariboo Rivers systems right to the Fraser River.

“This is water directly extracted from the Quesnel River,” CRD chair Al Richmond said, adding as of Tuesday morning Ministry of Environment was out taking samples.

Quesnel’s water supply comes from wells, MOE does not expect Gold Pan residents will be affected. As of Tuesday morning, as a precaution, one well, located at Nadeau, was shut down due to its close proximity to the river.

CRD received the information from the he-licopter reconnaissance Monday morning.

They noted debris backing into Polley Lake. The main slurry flow went down Hazleton Creek where it meets Quesnel Lake. The slurry and a large debris pile appear to be stationary at this point. Hazletine Creek was originally about four feet wide and is now up to 150 ft. wide.

Waterways affected by this event include Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Cariboo Creek. Additionally, the Horse-fly Likely Forest Service Road (Ditch Road) has been washed out at Hazeltine Creek. The Likely Bridge is not affected at this time.

For video footage, visit the Cariboo Region-al District’s Emergency Operations Facebook page at facebook.com/CRDemergencyopera-tions or the CRD web site at cariboord.ca.

Consumption by people and livestock is not recommended. Boiling will not help.

“Swimming and other activities along the rivers are at your own risk,” the release states.

A public information line has been estab-lished at 250-398-5581.

Further information will be provided as it becomes available.

Staffing changes at city hallThe city is pleased

to welcome back Ken Coombs to the permanent position of Director of Public Works.

Coombs was brought back from retirement on a temporary basis in April as the Acting Director of Public Works, this due to the departure of our previous Director of Public Works.

Coombs has significant experience both in civil construction and

municipal public works functions, in addition to an extensive local knowledge base. Coombs first joined the City in 1991 as the Deputy Works Superintendent, and retired (the first time) in 2013 as the Director of Public Works.

Director ofDevelopment

ServicesThe city recently

promoted Tanya

Turner, to the position of Director of Development Services. Turner is a Registered Professional Planner with the Planner’s Institute of British Columbia and the Canadian Institute of Planners. Development services functions include city land use planning, sustainability planning, building inspection, geographic info systems and bylaw enforcement. Turner started her career

with the City as a Planner in 2007, and most recently served as the Manager of Development Services.

Deputy CityManager

The City recently formally added the role of Deputy City Manager to the job portfolio of Kari Bolton.

Bolton has been with the City since 2009, her current position is Director of Corporate and

Financial Services. Bolton is a Certified Professional Accountant and has a Bachelor’s degree in Economics/Finance; she is also completing her diploma program in Local Government Administration. As the Deputy City Manager Bolton will take on an expanded leadership role for the City and she will also have the opportunity to gain a broader knowledge of the full range of city services.

Negotiators for school dis-tricts and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are getting together Aug. 8 to seek a settlement in their long-running dispute be-fore school starts up in Sep-tember.

A brief statement from the BCTF announced the resump-tion of talks Friday afternoon, a day after the B.C. govern-ment announced a contingen-cy plan to pay strike savings to parents of younger students if the strike keeps schools shut in September.

The government saves an

estimated $12 million a day when teachers go without paycheques, enough to pay parents $40 per missed school day for each child under 13 in public school.

Recreation centres are pre-paring to extend summer camp and activity programs into the fall.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced the contin-gency plan Thursday after sev-eral weeks without movement in the long-running dispute that shut schools for the last two weeks of June.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said the union’s demands are far beyond settle-ments with other public sector unions, particularly on benefit improvements.

The B.C. Public School Em-ployers’ Association estimates the union’s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year. Those in-clude increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation.

Teacher talks resume Friday

Arts and Culture Staycation

Over the B.C. Day long weekend, the Island Mountain Arts Society once again put on a fabulous show at the Artswells festival of all things art.

Arts and culture is truly alive in Wells all year round, but over the B.C. Day long weekend the town is bustling with musical acts, dancing, yoga classes and many more activities to your heart’s desire.

This event displays our vibrant artistic side of the Cariboo. A side that is inspired by our natural, beautiful surroundings. And there is no better place to hold an outdoor festival than in the beautiful meadows of Wells.

While the festival may have wrapped up, there is a still a lot of events taking place in Wells this month. What better timing, this month has been named staycation month by the Government of B.C. But why not make your staycation an arts and culture staycation?

Not only are you supporting local businesses and artists, you might even discover a part of our region that you have never visited before.

It is a relatively quick trip to Wells and any galleries are open to the public during the summer featuring unique pieces from local artists. Film, music and theatre performances are going on throughout August at the Sunset Theatre, or even at the local community café and restaurants.

There are many other events going on in our region featuring arts and culture. Take a drive down to Williams Lake and check out the 2014 Art Walk taking place August 7 until September 8. Art Walk features regional, national and even international artists at this sale. It also gives you the chance to stroll through local shops and businesses in downtown Williams Lake, helping the economy.

Have fun on your arts and culture staycation!

Feeding wildlife may seem like an enjoyable way to connect with nature, but it can often lead to serious problems for species like squirrels, raccoons, deer and bears.

“Wild animals who get used to a handout will often take the easy route despite ample natural foods being available – even in urban areas,” Dr. Sara Dubois, chief scientific officer for the B.C. SPCA, said.

“Although it might seem harmless and cute to feed a squirrel on a park bench or ducks at the local pond, these activities can lead to increased habituation.”

Dubois says fed wildlife can become dependent on unreliable food sources and suffer nutritionally when given inappropriate foods.

“Habituated wild animals are also more susceptible to predators and vehicle collisions, as they lose their fear of people and the associated flight response,” she said.

In other cases, she says, wild animals who have been fed regularly can develop food-seeking aggression and can become hostile towards people and pets.

“It is usually then that trappers or conservation officers are called in to deal with the situation,” she said.

Dubois also notes that human carelessness can also lead to urban wildlife becoming habituated.

“Putting garbage out the evening before pickup, using non-wildlife-proof bins, keeping pet food outside, leaving fallen fruit on the ground and littering can lead to situations where wild animals, and their offspring, are killed unnecessarily,” she said.

“One area where the experts disagree is on the feeding of migratory birds. Whether you agree or disagree with feeding birds, it is

the most widespread and popular form of human-wildlife interaction worldwide.”

Proponents believe it improves the survival of wintering birds, while other experts believe it causes birds to become nutritionally imbalanced. Strong evidence has also been documented to show bird feeders are responsible for spreading diseases such as salmonella among bird populations.

Although the B.C. SPCA prefers you to attract birds naturally with native plants, if you are going to feed migratory birds: • Ensure feeders are not accessible to other species by using baffles and “proof ” feeders;

• Keep cats indoors and ask your neighbours to do so as well;

• Clean feeders regularly with a 10 per cent bleach dilution to prevent disease outbreaks;

• Feed seasonally, when natural resources are limited. Consult your local bird feed or nature store to determine the right feed for the season and the species;

• Place feeders in

protected areas, out of the rain, snow and wind;

• Place feeders as far away from windows as possible. If it must be near a window, place it less than one metre away and use UV window decals to prevent injury;

• Don’t ground feed and clean spilled seeds frequently to avoid attracting rodents;

• Do not use herbicides, fungicides or pesticides in your yard;

• If maintaining a hummingbird feeder in the winter, ensure

that it does not freeze, as it is likely the only food source for the birds who are using

it;• Never feed ducks,

geese, swans, gulls, herons or eagles.

The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor

restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it.

Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified.

Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties.

One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next.

(Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and

other rave drugs.)Early reviews of free-

range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales.

Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it.

Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious.

Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services.

The festival licence process is likely getting renewed

attention these days.After attending the recent

Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures.

Litter and empties were contained, but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort.

It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come.

New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery.

Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry.

One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing

rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs.

The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption.

But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only.

The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Summertime and drinking is easy

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Deserving of better

The provincial government’s offer to pay families of school-aged children $40 a

day if the current contract impasse with teachers carries into the fall is just another example of the deep-seated enmity between the two sides that stands between a settlement.On the surface it seems like a good

deal; roll the money the government isn’t paying teachers if they’re on strike straight over to parents to ease their financial burden of making alternate arrangements for minding their kids.But it’s also another shot across

the bow of the teachers, a cynical jab that equates their duties with little more than institutional daycare.Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s

announcement of the program last Thursday was short on details.He said families of the province’s

300,000 children up to age 12 who attend public schools would have to register for the compensation.He didn’t say where those 300,000

children could go if they still can’t attend school come September.As anyone who has ever tried to

find daycare knows, 300,000 spots aren’t going to be created in five weeks.Nor will $40 go very far to

compensate a parent who has to stay home from work to mind their child.And while de Jong boasted the

program would have no net cost to the government, what about the cost of implementing it?A bureaucracy created in five

weeks to design the registration system, vet applicants and dole out the money won’t come cheap.Educating our children is worth

more than $40 a day.Those children deserve better than

to be treated as ammunition in this senseless trench war between adults who should know better.

Editor:Yes, I am greedy. I am

greedy for time. Time to spend with each of my students, checking in with them, ensuring they have a grasp of concepts we are studying. Time to answer their questions, time to ask how things are going.

Time to help. Time to encourage. Time to praise. Time to listen. I am hungry for time.

I am greedy for resources. I want textbooks for each of my students. Textbooks that have covers attached. Textbooks where I don’t see my name inside the front cover, or the names of my classmates from when we were students more than 20-years-ago. I want shop equipment that is up to date. A cooking unit for every group in a home economics class. P.E. equipment that is safe and functional. Technology that works, and enough to go around. Yes, I am greedy.

I am greedy for adequate specialist staffing to meet my students’ needs. I want a full-time teacher librarian. I want the school library to be open all day, every day.

I want the counsellors to be available for students in need, because I am not formally trained in counselling, and I can’t be in two places at once or 10. I try, but I just can’t do it.

I want a school prevention worker who is on site more than one half day/week so my highest-risk students are supported when they make healthy choices or when they’re scared they won’t. I want my students to be assessed by a school psychologist in the same year they are referred.

I want educational assistants in my classes to help the most vulnerable students, the ones who are falling through the cracks.

Or even the typical ones – they have questions too. Yes, I am greedy.

I am greedy for services. I want social workers to be less overwhelmed so they can support the students we share. I want more foster families so my kids in care don’t have to leave the community. I want affordable housing so their parents don’t face eviction when they can’t make ends meet.

I want full cupboards, so I know my students are getting more than the meals I give them at school. I want my student who attempted to take her own life twice this year to have access to mental health services right now, not in three to six months when it may be too late.

I want my students who cut themselves to see a counsellor when they need to see a counsellor, not in 9 –12 months because they are not high priority. I want a system that actually does put families first.

I am greedy for my own children, just beginning their journey in public education. My two bright, fiery stars, full of questions and ideas and big plans. My two little people who do their best to follow the rules. Who don’t make a lot of noise. Who don’t act out. Whose raised hands get passed over because their teachers just can’t get to everyone, and their needs are not the greatest in the class. My excited, motivated children, with their deeply rooted love of learning, whose questions don’t get answered.

Who are learning to stop asking questions. Whose fire will stop burning if we don’t do something soon? I am greedy.

I am greedy for a better system. One where everyone’s needs are appreciated. One where students are supported. Where resources are available. Where programs are available. I am greedy for something better. Is that such a bad thing?

If you have had a chance to see or even hear a dragon boat

practice or race, you have most certainly heard the drum. Our drums echo over Dragon Lake and we have been told that residents are well aware of when our practices are held.

The drum is secured at the bow and the drummer wedges herself in place around the drum, with her back to the bow (the front) facing her team. She sits higher than the paddlers and at times can feel unstable in choppy water but we have not lost a drummer…yet.

The drummer/coach is the person who coordinates the practice. We have several coaches so you might hear different voices but the message and the mission are the same.

The drummer works with the front paddlers to beat a rhythm that can be followed by the whole team. On every beat, the blade of the paddle should be entering the water. Key to dragon boating is the synchronicity of all paddlers and this state is maintained by the drummer. The pace may vary depending on the focus

and 40 – 60 beats a minute is the typical pace.

Each coach looks for ways to improve technique. They seek to perfect skills like: the rotation of the core, the soft C of the upper arm, the verticality of the paddle, the five per cent minimum lean of the body or the use of the core to pull the paddle through the water.

At practices, the drummer decides which drills best suit the focus. If she wants to develop technique, she might employ a pause drill, which fosters a rapid paddle exit and quick recovery to the front of the stroke in preparation for the next paddle entry.

If she wants to build endurance, she might implement a power sequence, where the team paddles for an extended length of time cycling between 60, 80 and 100 per cent effort repeatedly.

If she wants to build strength, she might call for a tug of war. This drill pits half of the team against the other half. Ten paddlers paddle hard while the rest try to hold the boat in place by placing their paddles in the water as brakes. A drill that can incorporate

a variety of skills is the caterpillar drill. Here, every row of paddler will paddle a set amount of strokes, like 15 or 20. The first row paddles five strokes and the next pair comes in on stroke number six. The first row continues to paddle until the set amount is reached. Then, each new pair joins in on the sixth stroke of the pair in front of them. The drummer will count the strokes of the back pair so that the front can begin again. Once in motion, the sequence is smooth and the drummer just maintains the rotation.

On race day, the role of the drummer turns from teacher to conspirator. She uses her enthusiasm, her voice and the drum to inspire the paddlers to give every ounce of effort. At the start line, once the officials are confident with boat placement, the drummer calls “paddles up” and “attention please.” At this, every paddler is ready with her paddle in the water, waiting for the first stroke. On the horn, the drummer begins to beat six slow hard strokes during which paddlers take the boat from zero to motion. Next the

drummer calls “up, up, up” and beats a quicker pace to urge paddlers to bring the bow up to a plane where it skims the surface. When all feels right, the drummer calls “reach it out” and now paddlers settle into a full powerful stroke. During the race, the drummer might say “stretch it out” to get paddlers to reach further or “you can do it” to bolster intensity. When she calls “power ten, now” paddlers dig deep and give even more.

A typical race takes just under three minutes during which the drummer is aware of how her team is working, of where the other boats are and of how quickly the finish line is approaching. Imagine the energy of four to eight drummers and their teams doing this at the same time!

So, when you next hear our drum and those commands, think about joining us. Recreational paddling is on Wednesdays and Paddling is Awesome Day will happen Aug. 17. Both are great opportunities to ride on the lake in dragon style.

Families, senior citizens and people with mobility issues have another place

to take a beautiful hike along the new trail at Hallis Lake.

After viewing low mobil-ity trails in both Kersley and Costa’s Cove, the Cariboo Ski Touring Club (CSTC) felt it would be a good � t for their Hallis Lake facility.

The new trail is not just for low mobility users but for any-one looking for a leisurely hike along a gradual grade in a great setting.

Club members came up with the planned route which fol-lows their existing Katimivik Trail along the shores of Hallis Lake. They had their plans reviewed by a consultant hired

by Cariboo Regional District and invited local mobility-chal-lenged residents to assess the � nal trail.

The 750m of low mobility trail winds along a compact, even 1.5 – 2m wide surface cul-minating in a expansive viewing area complete with a bench – all low mobility accessible.

When the low mobility local residents traveled the trail, they said it was a bit of a challenge but certainly endorsed the expe-rience and the trail.

There are two loops with the green level a lower grade and the blue level slightly more challenging and slightly shorter – both loops are connected providing a more � exible hike.

Along the trail is also a low mobility accessible outhouse. CSTC has also recently com-pleted new low mobility acces-

sibility to the clubhouse with a covered ramp.

These trails are free for the public to use in the summer-time and CSTC’s Ron Watteyne hopes to see lots of families take advantage of the terri� c trails offered at Hallis Lake.

“I would like to see families and young children use the trails in the summer and famil-iarize themselves with what’s out there,” he said.

“And that would encourage interest in our winter activities. We’re please to see our mem-berships steadily growing but we’d always welcome more.”

He added the 35km of trails are great for all ages for hiking, biking, horseback riding in the summer months along with snowshoeing and cross country skiing (all non-motorized use)

in winter.From downtown Quesnel

at the junction of Carson and Highway 97 travel south for 1.5km then turn left on Hy-draulic Road, Hallis Lake is 10km out, watch for signs, then

turn left on Hallis Lake Road.CSTC would like to thank

CRD, Recreation Sites and Trails B.C., Government of B.C. Community Recreation Pro-gram, NDIT, Cariboo Chilcotin Beetle Action Coalition and Shane McCann Contracting Ltd. for helping make this proj-ect possible.

CSTC director John Redburn coordinated the construction of the trail.

“We’re happy to be rolling out our newest trail,” he said.

The club is also looking into the possibility of including in the Hallis Lake services sit-ski for low mobility patrons.

The Hallis Lake Low Mobility Trail is open for use now with the grand opening slated for 10 a.m., Aug. 13.

For information contact Ron Watteyne, 250-992-2855.

The Rivershed Society of B.C. is sponsoring a trip down the Fraser River for young adults to raise awareness of the water-shed.

The group will be arriv-ing in Quesnel on Aug. 9 and plans are to have a pot luck dinner to welcome them into our community. As a local canoe club the Blackwater Paddlers would like to be a part of this welcoming party and are looking for other groups and organizations to join the celebration. The time and place have not yet been set and will be finalized closer to the arrival date.

For more information on the Rivershed Society go to www.rivershed.com

The trip is part of the society’s Sustainable Living Leadership program which focuses on improving and maintaining the health of the Fraser River.

For three weeks this summer, July 31 – Aug. 24, participants will make their way down the Fraser River from the headwaters near Mount Robson to Vancou-ver.

They travel by canoe and shuttle van between Mount Robson and Williams Lake and by raft from Williams Lake to Vancouver.

Participants paddle and camp out along the way while learning about sus-tainable living, watersheds, salmon, food security, resource use and how to

lower your eco-footprint. Team building, conflict resolution, communication and critical thinking skills are an integral part of the program.

Sept 2015 will see four young women swim the length of the Fraser River following in the footsteps of Fin Donnelly who swam the entire length of the river twice. Two of these young women will be in Quesnel on Aug. 9 with the Sustainable Living Leader-ship Program. Check out their website http://river-shed.com/relay for more information.

Natasha Grapes of Quesnel has once again attended the Pony Club National Dressage championship, held in Ottawa this past July 16 – 21.

Now aged 16, Grapes has been a rising star rider, representing Northern B.C. in many championships with her horse “Café Veanna.” Veanna, a grey 12-years 16.1 thoroughbred/QH cross mare has been Natasha’s faithful winning partner in many equestrian events for the past eight years, when Grapes first joined the Quesnel Pony Club.

Last year, Natasha had placed third in Training level at the Pony Club National Dressage Championship held in Calgary.

Although young riders qualify with their mounts, they do not ride their own horses at these championships (due to

travelling logistics and constraints that would occur at that amateur level). This clearly adds difficulty to the competition

but does help prove a rider’s true ability and horsemanship skills.

This year, she helped team B.C.

win second place at the PC National Dressage Championship, by winning first place in First level on her borrowed mount.

Grapes is not only an accomplished dressage rider but is also a regular winner in the show jumping circuits. Last year, she placed fourth at the Pony Club National jumping championship, held in Prince George.

We look forward to see what other awards she will collect.

She has already won many awards in early spring such as “Top Pony Club rider” and “Youth Rider High Point” in Prince George. Congratulations Natasha. Quesnel is proud of you.

August 3 - 9, 2014ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Finances are on your mind this week, Aries. You could be driven now more than ever to get your ducks in a row. Expect such tasks to be a bit stressful but ultimately worth it.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, avoid being sidetracked by some familiar obstacles. Even with the best intentions you can get pushed off target. Pay attention and stick with it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, it may be tempting to set aside responsi-bilities in favor of more exciting experiences. But the real opportunities for adventure come from making commitments and goals.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may finally be ready to express feel-ings that you have been keeping to yourself. If you are worried about how others will respond, don’t be. You have accepting friends.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, do not deny yourself some pleasure, espe-cially if you have been putting in a lot of work and effort to attain your goals. Enjoy a little down time when you can.

with Lee-Anne Williams B.Sc. (Pharm)During allergy season, it’s good to remember that pollen is very sticky. It adheres to eyelashes and hair on our bodies. Taking a shower at night is a good way to wash away the pollen. The hairs in our noses also has pollen stuck to it so rinsing your nasal passages is also a good idea.Keeping a close watch on your sodium intake? Anything that fizzes xscan have high sodium levels. If you want to be sure, read the nutritional labels.The pure liquid nicotine in e-cigarettes is a hazard to children. Since e-cigarettes began being marketed in the U.S. a couple of years ago, poison control centres have seen more poisonings of young children who have ingested the contents of e-cigarettes. Health Canada hasn’t legalized this product in Canada and its slowness to make a decision is well-founded and needs more assurance of safety.Pharmacists and doctors are aware that many people don’t take their prescribed medication as ordered. This can be detrimental to people’s health. A study done in England recently looked at people taking blood pressure (BP) medication found that 25% were not taking their blood pressure meds as prescribed. Since we usually can’t “feel” high blood pressure, damage is being done when meds are missed. Take your medications as your doctor orders….especially BP medications.Helping you understand how to help you get the most out of your medications is the primary job of our pharmacists. It’s important to us.
