Art Walk and Sale features 54 exhibits Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor The 13th annual Williams Lake Art Walk and Sale officially kicked off yesterday featuring 64 artists and 54 exhibits, surpassing last year's totals as the largest to date.

Friday will feature an official launch party involving Mayor Kerry Cook, Councillor Laurie Walters and MLA Donna Barnett.

The ladies will be meeting at About Face Photography at 11:45 a.m. and tour 18 of the 54 Art Walk Exhibits.

“When I first got involved with Art Walk we had 36 exhibits and now we're up to 54.

It's great for the community and the downtown,” said Art Walk Chairman Willie Dye. The 2013 Art Walk is sponsored by the Williams Lake downtown BIA and Art Walk Passport booklets are available in today's Cariboo Advisor, at all partici-

pating merchants or The Tourism Discovery Center (TDC). This year patrons must get 42 stamps out of the 54 exhibits to fill their passport. The TDC will also be hosting a mini Art Walk all month as six of the artists will have their work on display.

A new twist to this year's event is local celebrities including Lake City Secondary Principal Gregg Gaylord, RCMP Inspector Warren Brown and Mayor Kerry Cook will be painting self portraits.

“It's a neat idea, the kids from the local high school can see if their Principal has any artistic talent,” laughs Dye. The portraits will be on display at Western Financial and sold by silent auction with proceeds going to the Child Development Centre.

This year's event also has many new artists including Steve

Harkies and Rany Moe as well as out-of-town artists Ernest Hall of

Bella Coola and Vance Theoret of 100 Mile House. The Nicola

Valley Artists, a group of six women from Merritt, are also taking part and will have their paintings up at Lake City Glass.

Another item up for silent auction is a Randy Moe painting donated by Sheep Creek Developments that has been on display in the lobby of PMT Accountants in the Bank of Montreal building. It is now on display at Lake City Ford and funds also go to the CDC. Dye encourages the artists to spend as much time as possible at their venue and noted the success that artist Harvey Overton had last year as he spend most of his days painting at his Lake City Ford location.

“Harvey sold seven of his paintings last year which was incredible,” said Dye. “The patrons really love it when the artists make themselves available for discussion.”

Williams Lake crime drops 27 percent over past five years The City of Williams Lake continues to focus on crime reduction measures as the Crime Severity Index (CSI) produced

by Statistics Canada for 2012 shows a 27% reduction in the CSI value since the Index for first published for the year 2008.

Crime has declined in Williams Lake every year between 20082011, with a small increase in crime statistics in mid-2012.

Some categories of property crime, such as vehicle theft, have decreased by as much as 80% since 2008.

The City continues to work with the RCMP to address crime and the social factors behind it. A number of initiatives have been put in place over the past few years, including a pro-

lific offender program, Boitanio Park Working Group, a youth gang crime task force, and a false alarm bylaw to free up RCMP resources. The City also continuously lobbied the Province for additional resources for policing.

The CSI value of Williams Lake in 2012 is 241.2, down from 330.5 in 2008, when Williams Lake ranked #1 in Canadian communities with a population of 10,000 or more. In 2012, Williams Lake ranked #3 in overall crime, and #2 in violent crime. Crimes such as murder and assault are weighted heavier than crime such as robberies and thefts in the Index.

“We have made progress in the past five years, but clearly Council and the Williams Lake RCMP

250•398•5516

and ask for Julie Or email us at classieds@caribooadvisor.com

are not satisfied with the latest statistics,” says Mayor Kerry Cook. “We will continue to take a strategic community approach to reducing crime.”

The Index also includes sentencing, and in Williams Lake, many people are arrested for breaching bail, probation, and undertakings, which affects the CSI score. In 2012, the crimes with the highest incidences were Disturbing the Peace and Mischief. The Index is also calculated using the population of the City of Williams Lake, while a majority of crime is committed by non-residents. Most violent crime is perpetrated by criminals on other criminals, resulting in little impact on community safety, “Crime is heavily influenced as a result of social and environmental factors. Addictions, poverty, mental health, boredom, are just some factors that influence crime,” says Williams Lake RCMP detachment commander

Inspector Warren Brown. “Although our calls for service and property crimes are down from the recent past, I am still disappointed that we remain so high in crime stats provincially and so nationally. I am cognizant and aware of our responsibility as your 'police service' and we will do everything we are able to and within our sphere of influence to continue to decrease crime. We will be aggressive and Charter compliant in our approach. We cannot do this alone and rely upon our volunteers, our stakeholders, and community at large to take a strong stance against those who jeopardize our safety.

“I am encouraged by the strong leadership we have in our communities and the level of engagement from many of our stakeholders. Despite our positioning on the CSI, I believe Williams Lake is a very safe place to live, work, and play.”

Firehall donates to Salvation Army

Sean Glanville photo

The Williams Lake Fire Department collected 75 boxes of food for those in need at their fourth annual Christmas in July Food Drive. The boxes will fill the shelves at the local Salvation Army Food Bank. In the photo are York Wilson (left to right), Captain Randy Kadonaga of the Salvation Army, John Hack of Rotary, Doug Wilson, Mike Blades, and Rob Warnonck, Assistant Chief of Williams Lake Firehall.

The Williams Lake Fire Department held their fourth annual Christmas in July Food Drive in late July taking in a haul of 75 boxes of food.

“About four years ago former Fire Chief Randy Isfeld put out the word to the guys at the firehall and we've kept it going ever since,” said Rob Warnock, Assistant Chief of Williams Lake Firehall. “We do this at the end of July ever

Lightning storm causes 29 wildfires Thursday evening's incredible lightning storm left Cariboo Fire Centre crews being put into action on 29 new lightning-caused wildfires throughout the region Friday.

While thousands of lightning strikes caused the new wildfires, most of the lightning was accompanied by precipitation that helped keep fires small in size, the biggest at 0.2 hectares.

W i l d f i r e

Management Branch airtankers, helicopters and other equipment will help crews battle the new blazes and air patrols will monitor the far-flung areas of the Cariboo-Chilcotin for any further wildfires.

The number of phone reports received from the public allowed the Cariboo Fire Centre to respond to these fires fast and efficiently. The Wildfire Management Branch would like to

thank the public for their assistance.

There have also been five person-caused wildfires on Thursday and Friday diverting CFC/WMB personnel and resources from the naturally occurring fires.

Overnight precipitation has decreased the fire danger rating to moderate in most of the Cariboo Fire Centre, with areas of low in the western parts

of the region and high in the northern and eastern parts.

These lightning storms and the resulting wildfires serve as a reminder that continued vigilance is required in preventing personcaused fires and lets the Wildfire Management Branch focus its efforts on naturally occurring fires.

Despite the accompanying precipitation, the fire danger rating in

the portion of South Lakeside Drive between the Cariboo Adventist Academy and Hodgson Road is a construction area, and rough patches of road are to be expected. The contractor is regularly working on grading and repairing rough areas, but patience is requested because the high volume of

traffic causes road condition to deteriorate quickly.

Motorists are also reminded to obey the posted 30 km/h speed limit.

South Lakeside Drive will be repaved from Hodgson Road to the Cariboo Adventist Academy, the merge lane from Hodgson Road will be

collected a lot of good stuff that we are short on,” said Randy Kadonaga, Pastor and Core Officer for Salvation Army.

the Cariboo Advisor Wednesday, August 7, 2013

Watson looking to bring smiles to the Cariboo Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Rohan Watson recently arrived in Williams Lake and is excited to start improving the lives of local residents as a Wellness Consultant.

W e l l n e s s Consultants are basically a go-between for patients and their physicians, and Watson has a multi-faceted approach to health.

“We basically compliment physicians.

Doctors see so many patients they don't have the time to spend two hours going over things like diet history, fitness plan and that,” says Watson. “To have a strong relationship you need to spend time with a person to create that trust.”

Watson's approach to health is entirely based on scientific research, a deciding

factor in why longtime Williams Lake Depression Recovery worker Rita Corbett hand-picked him to bring his services to the lakecity. Corbett met Watson three years ago when he was in the lakecity speaking at a seminar.

“Rohan and I have similar principals and ideas when it comes to health,” said Corbett.

“We've been looking for somebody like Rohan to move here, there's a lot of demand for his services and I was both surprised and thrilled when he decided to move here.”

Watson worked in Toronto as an Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) and always liked the health field but felt he needed to do more so began to study nutrition, exercise and other ways to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The Jamaican-born Watson has extensive training in many aspects of leading a healthy lifestyle.

Born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Watson and his family immigrated to Toronto when he was 19. Watson recently moved here

from Qualicum Beach, B.C. with his wife and four children. He grew up playing soccer and stared for Humber College (Toronto)

The Williams Lake Tourism Discovery Centre's numbers are down slightly this year from previous years with in province travelers and Europeans making up the majority of guests flocking to the Cariboo Chilcotin.

“We are down a little but have still had 12,000 visitors here through the first half of the year,” said Jaylyn Byer. “Most of the traffic has been from British Columbians and many Europeans.”

when they don't need us anymore,” explains Watson.

Watson was scheduled to meet with Mayor Kerry Cook this week to discuss some health initiatives.

This September and October he hopes to offer some free seminars to the community likely to be held at the Gibraltar Room.

“The seminar will be free and open invitation to the public so it will give people a chance to see what I'm all about and ask questions like “What would you do in this circumstance? And so on,” says Watson.

“It will be interactive and have a very upbeat, happy tone.”

Watson can be contacted at 250-240-0696 and he charges $50 for an initial consultation.

From there he charges $120 per coaching session but is willing to

negotiate prices to fit each persons needs and budget. Watson is also in talks with the government about having his services included in peoples health plans.

He also offers group coaching sessions in which family and friends of individuals can be involved, stating that many clients tend to be much more willing to open up when accompanied by people close to them.

“I make myself available to my clients 24 hours a day as part of their support system as somebody they can call when their decision making is not there,” adds Watson.

“So often we just hand a depressed person a prescription and then they don't no where to go next. People can't just change themselves, they need a support system.”

where he was named a Canadian collegiate all star.

He has been impressed with his new community thus far.

“Williams Lake has been great, I love all the sunshine and the people here have been awesome,” said Watson.

His philosophy is to help his clients by getting to the root of their problems whether it be from stress, diet, or nutrition and so on. He uses the analogy that when a normal person comes home and sees the house flooding because they left the tap on, they shut the tap off. A mentally ill person will try to mop up the water while the tap continues running.

“We like to help people and put a smile on their face. We don't like people to keep coming back to us, our best compliment is

“We basically give people the chance to take out a fishing rod for up to a week free of charge so they can try fishing in some of our regions many lakes without having to go buy a rod,” says Byer.

The TDC is also currently featuring a Mini Art Walk displaying the work of six artists. Those participating in the Art Walk, which officially started yesterday, can also pick up their Art Walk Passports at the TDC. The Visitor Centre, located in the TDC,

offers information on attractions, events, community contacts, and other visitor resources. Visitors coming to Williams Lake from around the world can rely on the Visitor Centre for travel planning information such as local accommodations, restaurants, and interesting activities.

The Centre provides visitor information on Williams Lake, the surrounding area, and the province of British Columbia.

River Valley receives funding Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Local dignitaries were on hand at the Williams Lake River Valley last Tuesday for a major announcement.

The Government of Canada is contributing over $1 million from the Federal Gas Tax Fund to help improve the City of Williams Lake's storm water system, while the City of Williams Lake will provide $170,000.

Mayor Kerry Cook, MLA Donna Barnett and Quesnel Mayor and Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) President Mary Sjostrom were all in the lakecity for the announcement.

“This project will enhance the environment and improve recreational experiences in the River Valley, a jewel of our city,” said Cook.

Sean Glanville photo

Williams Lake Mayor Kerry Cook (left - right), MLA Donna Barnett, and Quesnel Mayor Mary Sjostrom were at the Williams Lake River Valley last Tuesday to announce a $1.2 million upgrade to improve the water quality of the Williams Lake River.

Cook also noted the project is due to the partnership between the federal government, provincial government, and UBCM. The project will include the construction of an infiltration and detention pond system to reduce the amount of pollutants entering Williams Lake River, as well as minimize erosion resulting from the release of storm water.

The new system will improve the aquatic habitat of the river, home to many fish species.

The project would not be able to go ahead without the federal Gas Tax Fund.

“The gas tax is crucial to small and large communities as it allows us to do projects like this one. We can't fund everything from local taxpayers,” said

Building permits hit five year high The City of Williams Lake’s Second Quarter Economic Indicators report shows that building permit values of $9.5 million for the first six months of the year are the highest since 2008.

The West Fraser planer mill project is valued at $5.4 million and home building permits of $1.6 million form the majority of the building permit value.

In 2008, the Retirement Concepts care facility, valued at $8.5 million, the fire hall ($4.7 million), and renovations to Safeway ($1.3 million) increased the building permit values to $15.2 million as of June 2008. Values have varied between $3.9 million and $8.9 million between 2009 and 2012.

The report also shows

a decline in the Cariboo region’s unemployment rate, from 7.4% in June 2012 to 5% in June 2013. The provincial average is 6.4%. In addition, the selling price of single family residences has risen over last year to $247,213, gold prices remain strong, and lumber prices continue to rise.

The report also notes that objectives of the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP) include working to enhance the community as an appealing, interesting, and friendly place to do business, visit, and live. With that in mind the City has developed a Business Façade Improvement Program, and applied for NDIT funding to implement the initiative.

The focus of the pro-

gram will be to support business owners in the downtown and highway commercial areas of the City with building façade improvements.

Façade improvements can help a business be more visible and accessible to customers.

The program guidelines will encourage façade improvements that lend to a Cariboo theme – using wood and stone – which is another OCP goal area.

A number of businesses have completed impressive improvements over the past several years and this program has the potential to build on and encourage more investment of this type, making our City all the more attractive. If the program funding is approved, the program will be implemented the

Sjostrom. “This project demonstrates why aging infrastructure is a critical matter for communities.”

Barnett also spoke glowingly of the project, noting that the funding will help boost water quality in the lakecity by ensuring the storm water system is upgraded and environmentally sound.

“It's a jewel or a river valley with beautiful hiking trails and a diverse eco-system,” said Barnett. “This will improve the water quality of the river valley and it shows the this government has made infrastructure a priority.”

Warm Weather Leads To Hot Tempers As the world gets warmer, tempers flare.

That’s the finding of a new study published online in the journal Science.

The research looked at 60 other studies of things like historic collapses of empires, recent wars, violent crimes in the U.S. and even baseball games, where pitchers intentionally threw at batters. The common thread: extreme weather, hot or dry translates into more violence. The team of economists even came up with a formula that predicts how much the risk of different types of violence should increase with extreme weather. For the United States, the formula says: for every increase of five-point-four degrees of fahrenheit, the likelihood of violent crime goes up two to four percent. One of the studies authors saying when the weather gets bad, people tend to be more willing to hurt others.

This weekend I traveled to Kamloops for a soccer tournament and hot tempers were evident almost everywhere I looked this long weekend.

I was standing in line to order breakfast at McDonalds (yes breakfast of champions), and an elderly man I'm guessing around 80 budged right in front of me as if I was invisible.

I thought about saying something but what's

the point, I thought.

He asked a nice, sweet young girl working the till for a hamburger and she replied “We don't serve lunch until 11 a.m.,” and it was ten minutes to 11 a.m. The man then began to ream out this poor girl for a good 30 seconds before saying he was taking his business elsewhere. To me, life would seem like a pitiful existence if you were constantly miserable and treated everyone in your path like dirt.

I also saw several instances of road rage, primarily when some young punk in his big truck speeds up on the rear end of your car and rides you until the next passing lane. I was a bit of a speed demon in my youth and remember buying a two-seater Honda Del Sol Sports Car, a prime cop magnet. As I grew up and matured a bit I realized how pointless speeding is. By the time the guy passing you going 130 kmph stops at the next Tim Hortons for coffee you will likely pull in behind him about two minutes later.

Meanwhile, you can have a relaxed enjoyable drive without the stress of possibly causing an accident or getting pulled over for a ticket.

There's the occasional driver that makes my blood boil and not gonna lie, do feel like pulling over to the side of the road and duk-

ing it out sometimes, but then I realize I'm pushing 30 with three daughters.

Here are 11 steps to help you keep calm when you feel like losing your temper that may come in handy in this August heat.

1. Remember that the reward for patience is happiness.

2. Realize that things can be handled well at all times; it's just a matter of what kind of attitude you put into it.

Take deep breaths.

3. Get away from situations where your anger might get the better of you, such as when someone is teasing you.

Ignore the other person and walk away. If you must, do this a few times until the person gets the hint that you will not tolerate it. It's okay to use your words or body language to tell somebody you will not tolerate how they are treating you, as long as you respond to them in a calm and matter of fact manner, without being overtly hurtful or trying to embarrass them as they have you.

It's never okay to hit somebody for making fun of you.

4. Realize that no one likes to be around people who get angry easily, and act abusive.

The only way you can change the situation is by starting with yourself.

5. Be considerate

of others, and ultimately, yourself. The way you react will ultimately affect your surroundings. If you have to rebuke someone for doing something wrong, you can always do it calmly, in a private place. This method is always better for everyone in the long run.

6. If you are angry and you are standing, sit down; if you are sitting, lie down.

7. Remember, 5 seconds stand between you and logic. Count to 5, and remember that logic always beats anger.

8. Stop talking to that person for a few minutes to whom you are angry and take deep breath around 5-7 times. Try breathing slowly in through your nose, and out through your mouth. This will calm you down.

9. Take a deep breath.

10. Think about the good things that person has done for you.

What bad have you done to them? Chances are, you've done at least something to them to make them resentful towards you. Make sure you have a clear conscience-then speak.

11. Remember that your temper can ruin your life. When your eyes are opened it might be too late, so try to control your anger and follow the above steps.

It will definitely get you away from tension.

Pavo Plavsin, 4, enjoys some playtime at Kiwanis Park Tuesday afternoon.

People enjoy posing in silly cutouts like books in a bookshelf Those whimsical figures set up to trap tourists always draw me in. If I had thought to take pictures of silly cutouts over the years, I would have quite the collection by now.

During one recent trip, after tiring of astronauts, hula girls, and pirates, three of my somewhat grown children took delight in posing as tulips.

Passers-by laughed, particularly when they realized the lanky growths beneath the blossoms were legs,

Living out Loud with Rita Corbett not stems!

Fun, yes! But do we masquerade as things we aren’t? If we lack character, life is simply a rotating door - a place where we leave

tracks and laughter, and never make a difference.

Plenty of public ads, signs, billboards, and flyers display fun, possessions, and appearances, but precious little about character.

We can casually fill in life’s gaps, becoming those things we dislike in others, or we can stop our own parades and choose to change.

Only one thing is needed for me to be a better friend, better wife, more honest employee, or a hero.

As one of my children said, when coming to grips with a small misbehaviour, “I decided.”

Heroes are often thought of as doers of the wildly impossible, but my heroes are the simple and unsung.

Friends who show up to polish a family’s shoes before a funeral.

Spouses who stay and improve a tough marriage. Young people who stick with hard classes. Character is the real hero, not the shallow shine of superficial priorities. We

can choose character and become our own virtual heroes.

Character dares to cross the line between excuse and responsibility.

Character refuses to wallow in negatives. When we are faced with nasty situations like gossip we can choose not to copycat. Character is born when love crowds out opportunism, and encouragement shoves anger aside.

The author of the 1903 book ‘Education’ writes, “The greatest

want of the world is the want of men - men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest . . . men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men (and women!) who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.” Character, pure and simple.

Standouts, not cutouts!

In the earthquakes of life, our principles are often shaken - and like books we may

tumble fall from a rattling bookshelf. But life has a way of taking us back to the places from which we fell fortunately, because we can learn to do better. With character, we can opt for “Next time” instead of “Wish I had”.

I love cutouts! But next time I find a bewhiskered tulip, maybe I will be less of a negative copy-cat, and a bit more of a hero.

Perhaps then those around me can enjoy Living OutLoud, too.

Science an unforgiving dictator People ask, why the drumming?

Psychologically speaking, studies show that the constant rhythmic sounds calm infants in nurseries. Why? Because it mimics a mother's heartbeat.

The practice is found worldwide in all early cultures. Generically it represents unification and the heart of a community, which seems odd how some people make an issue out of it when there are real issues that need to be addressed. Who has the right to use the resources at Fish Lake? Mining companies? Shuswaps?

Chilcotins? Provincial Government?

The Feds? Fact is, people often get caught up in mining p.r. and confuse that with the actual economics. Just look at the market. Gold has bottomed out, the bubble has burst. Investors fleeing due to an influx of gold. Today there are 70 gold and copper mines vying to get

permission to open up in B.C. alone this year.

Many of them don't have the same sensitive issues as Fish Lake and are less expensive nor as much as a gamble financially. (God I wish people would do their research and not be blinded by propaganda as data isn't hard to find). The silly childlike arguments that Shuswaps have more of a right is moot as land claims started when the B.C. government formed. During that time, Chilcotins lived in the area, nevermind the fact Shuswaps and Chilcotins had overlapping shared borders anyways. Critics of the new mine say its actually worse then the original by destroying both Fish Lake and Little Fish Lake in the long run due to the fractured rock strata, nevermind the fact its still far too close to fish bearing headwaters and grizzly and wild horses habitat. Lets also not forget

about the micro dust particles of carcinogenics polluting the local fauna and community of people who live there. So it doesn't matter how many people

vote for or against the mine. It doesn’t matter how many politicians are for or against the project. It doesn’t matter whether the people of Williams Lake sup-

port the project or not.

Science isn’t a democracy, its an unforgiving dictator.

Mine can contribute to community

Brian Battison, a Vice President of Taseko told the Williams Lake Chamber of Commerce packed luncheon crowd , recently that he had been at the Chamber six years ago to inform them about a detailed mining plan for the Fish Lake area... who knew then that it would take so long or cost so much to try and invest 1 billion dollars into the province. Here we are so many years later still searching for the outcome that many of us feel to be in the best interest of this region and the 63-thousand people living here.

Battison said, ‘just as the business com-

Also the Taseko Vice President stated the media coverage of what is happening here in this community and in these hearings is extensive ... media reporting and commentary is flowing out from this city of Williams Lake and reaching right across the country. You are a community standing up for its future, the people of BC know it and the Government of Canada now is beginning to understand. You are not complaining, you are not looking for a hand out, you are not looking for sympathy, you are simply looking to the future and trying

to influence it in a way that gives you the best chance for success and for your own prosperity and the future wellbeing of your families.

Battison stated that Mayor Kerry Cook made a very good and compelling case for the New Prosperity and the vital role it can play in stabilizing and strengthening the long term future for this city and it citizens.

Once these hearings conclude and the Panel submits its report to the Minister of Environment, it will then be up to Ottawa and will all wait to learn our fate and whether or not the political leaders

SUMMER SWIMMING LESSONS – THE LAST SESSION OF THE SUMMER The days are still long and the sun is still warm. It is hard to believe that Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is hosting the last two week session of summer swimming lessons.

Conveniently scheduled both in the daytime and the early evening, these lessons run from August 12-22. These two week intensive lessons provide optimal learning conditions for children and let’s face it, learning to swim is important. By enrolling your children at a young age they quickly become comfortable in the water avoiding fears that can develop as children get older.

Learning is a snap. Their little brains are like sponges absorbing information such as breathing techniques, stroke development and water safety and they have fun with other children in the water.

Swimming lessons promote safety, health and wellness for young and old alike.

Can you and your child swim 25 meters without stopping? This is a skill that can drastically reduce the risk of drowning. Four national organizations; Swimming Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, Lifesaving Society Canada and the Canadian Medical Association have partnered together to create Getswimming.ca, an attempt

Canadians partake in Red Cross swimming lessons each year. These lessons, based on more than 60 years of experience, feedback and research, provide young and old a base for swimming and water safety. Many in the Williams Lake region enjoy swimming, boating, fishing,picnicking by lakes, or rivers or a walking out to the pond with their families.

Life jackets are an important aspect of boating safety, accidents happen when you least expect them and these are the moments when swimming and water safety skills are crucial. Here in Williams Lake the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex staff are certified as both Red Cross and Lifesaving Society instructors and the Blue Fin Swim Club coaches are certified through Swimming Canada.

Swimming lessons also have great benefits to health and wellness. This activity

people thinking and their brains working. Swimming, a low impact form of exercise works muscles and builds endurance yet is gentle on the joints appealing to injured and obese people wanting to build an exercise routine.

These swimming skills, when taught one on one or in groups, foster social interactions and build and enhance emotional and cognitive development.

To register your child in lessons or to learn about Fun Days, lane swimming, Everybody Welcome Swims and Toonie Swims at the pool call the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Centre at 250398-7665.

Eliminate invasive Hawkweed Weed of the Week Hawkweed – Native and Invasive It may be beautiful and found in fields all over our region, but, Hawkweed is not just another pretty flower! Throughout British Columbia a total of eight native Hawkweed, and 13 invasive species have been recorded.

Of the 13 invasive species, one variety has bright orange flowers, while the others have yellow flowers. Generally speaking, the native yellow Hawkweeds can be distinguished from the invasive varieties by checking to see if leaves are present on the stems as most of the invasive species have leafless stems.

Hawkweed is an aggressive plant, with an ability to form dense mats which can choke out native and desirable plant communities rapidly.

Unfortunately, the Hawkweed infestation is severe within the Cariboo Chilcotin, and as a result, containment areas have been created. Containment is an invasive plant management strategy to prevent large infestations from spreading into un-infested areas.

To create a containment area, invasive plant specialists draw

Although beautiful, Hawkweed is an aggressive plant, with an ability to form dense mats which can choke out native and desirable plant communities rapidly.

an area on a map which surrounds the worst of the infestation. Inside the line, the infestation is extensive and eradication is not possible.

Therefore, limited to no treatments will be conducted within the line. Outside the line, the infestation is lim-

ited and eradication is possible through active treatments.

Here are a few key tips to managing orange and yellow Hawkweed on your property: Treat small infestations of Hawkweed before they become

large!

Avoid mowing or cutting Hawkweed.

It makes the plant become more aggressive and it will spread further through roots.

Hand pull and dig out small infestations, ensuring the entire root is recovered and dispose of plant material in designated bins at your local solid waste management site. Do not compost! Fertilize small infestations with an ammonium-sulfate product.

Promote healthy landscapes, stressed landscapes encourage weeds.

Apply herbicides, where appropriate, to larger infestations.

The Cariboo Regional District is dedicated to protecting the region from negative impacts of invasive plants through its invasive plant management program. The program is also available to assist landowners within the region through the Landowner Assistance Program.

To learn more about invasive plants in the Cariboo Chilcotin, visit the CRD online at cariboord.bc.ca or call 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800665-1636 and speak with the Invasive Plant Management department.

Cowboys bid farewell to high school rodeo

Sean Glanville photo

Williams Lake cowboys Matt Armes (left) and Chad Braaten represented the Williams Lake High School Rodeo Club at the National High School Finals in Rock Springs, Wyoming and the Canadian High School Finals in Nanton, Alberta in July. Braaten was Canadian champion in cutting.

Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Local cowboys Matt Armes and Chad Braaten recently returned home from nearly two weeks on the road and a few thousand kilometers under their belt after competing in a pair of prestigious rodeos.

The duo first competed at The National High School Rodeo Finals in Rock Springs, Wyoming from July

14-20. It is the largest rodeo in the world hosting 13 performances over seven days and over 1,500 competitors from 41 U.S. States as well as five Canadian Provinces and Australia.

Armes failed to register a time in the Steer Wrestling and was bucked off in the Saddle Bronc. Braaten placed 14th in Tie Down Roping, 11th in Team Roping with

partner Maddy Mills of Kamloops in a time of 8.8 seconds, 19th in cutting, and missed on his Calf Roping attempts.

The pair then travelled from Rock Springs to Nanton, Alberta for the Canadian High School Rodeo Finals July 21-24. The highlight of the event was when Braaten was crowned national champion in cutting and earned a

shiny new buckle.

“I really didn't expect to win the cutting, I thought if anything I might win in team roping,” explains Braaten. “I'm fairly new at cutting but I guess I have a knack for it.”

Braaten earned scores of 70, 70.5 and 70 in his three rounds of cutting to earn the title. Not bad for a guy who only starting cutting in the Fall of

2011.

Braaten can credit Ken and June Hartley of Kamloops for his national title as the couple lent him their cutting horse after his was hurt.

Braaten took fifth overall in Tie Down Roping placing 20th, 14th and 15th in the three rounds. He missed on his first two rounds of Team Roping and had a time of 6.4 seconds on his

third and final go.

At the Canadian finals, Armes placed 10th in the Steer Wrestling with a time of 6.1 seconds and ninth in Saddle Bronc with a score of 57.

“I was pleased with my results and happy to finish top 10 in both events,” said Armes.

Armes, is relatively new to the sport of rodeo and only picked it up a couple years ago.

“About two years ago I was hanging around with the rodeo guys at school and then talked to mom and dad about joining and soon became hooked,” explained Armes.

Both were members of the last graduating classes of their schools this past June as Braaten graduated from Williams Lake Secondary and Armes from Columneetza Secondary.

In just two years, Armes has already earned himself a rodeo scholarship to the United States.

In Rock Springs last month he was offered a scholarship with free tuition and housing to Panhandle State University in Oklahoma.

“This has all just happened in the last two weeks, it's pretty crazy,” admits Armes.

Armes, 17, will fly down on Saturday for orientation and rodeo

friend Vanessa Leggett of Kamloops will be meeting up with him with his horse and gear. He plans to be a veterinarian one day and will start his prevet courses this Fall.

Armes also enjoys playing rugby when he's not rodeoing.

Braaten, 18, earned a $5,000 academic entrance scholarship to TRU Williams Lake and will be staying local much to the delight of his parent's chequebook.

Braaten is looking into a career in pharmacy and plans to rodeo on the BCRA circuit next summer.

His plan is to transfer from TRU to Lakeland College in Vermillion, AB for his second year of studies.

Rodeo has been in Braaten's blood from a young age and first competed at age five and first roped from horseback at age eight.

His family moved to 150 Mile House from the Lower Mainland in Grade 7. He is also an avid basketball player.

“I started high school rodeo in the junior divisions in Grade 6 and it's been a big part of my life and I will miss it,” said Braaten.

The pair would like to think Allison and Rob Everett and Grant Fosbury for their mentorship and Soda Creek Sweet Corn for their sponsorship.

Last summer swim sessions start soon The days are still long and the sun is still warm.

It is hard to believe that Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex is hosting the last two week session of summer swimming lessons.

Conveniently scheduled both in the daytime and the early evening, these lessons run from August 12-22. These two week intensive lessons provide optimal learning condi-

tions for children and let’s face it, learning to swim is important.

By enrolling your children at a young age they quickly become comfortable in the water avoiding fears that can develop as children get older. Learning is a snap. They absorb information such as breathing techniques, stroke development and water safety and they have fun

with other children in the water. Swimming lessons promote safety, health and wellness for young and old alike.

Can you and your child swim 25 meters without stopping?

This is a skill that can drastically reduce the risk of drowning.

Four national organizations - Swimming Canada, the Canadian Red Cross, Lifesaving

Society Canada and the Canadian Medical Association - have partnered together to create Getswimming.ca, an attempt to teach all Canadian children to swim with the goal of saving lives.

More than a million Canadians partake in Red Cross swimming lessons each year. These lessons, based on more than 60 years of experience, feedback and research, provide young and old a base for swimming and water safety.

Many in the Williams Lake region enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking by lakes, or rivers or a walking out to the pond with their families. Life jackets are an important aspect of boating safety, accidents happen when you least expect them and these are the moments when swimming and water safety skills are crucial. Here in Williams Lake the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex staff are certified as both Red Cross and Lifesaving Society instructors and the Blue

Lifeguard Amy Penny gets ready to teach some young swimmers.

The last summer swim sessions are coming up so be sure to register your child fast.

Fin Swim Club coaches are certified through Swimming Canada.

Swimming lessons also have great benefits to health and wellness.

This activity encourages all kinds of movement in every part of the body pumping blood to the brain and extremities, getting people thinking and their brains working. Swimming, a low impact form of exercise works muscles and builds endurance yet is gentle on the joints appealing to injured and

obese people wanting to build an exercise routine.

These swimming skills, when taught one on one or in groups, foster social interactions and build and enhance emotional and cognitive development.

To register your child in lessons or to learn about Fun Days, lane swimming, Everybody Welcome Swims and Toonie Swims at the pool call the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Centre at 250-398-

Chess maven has sights on worlds Sean Glanville Cariboo Advisor Local chess sensation Kai Richardson has his sights set on becoming the next U10 world chess champion.

Recently, thanks to the support of his home schooling program (Self Design) and family he was able to attend the Canadian Youth Chess Championship in Ottawa where he placed second. Richardson was just a half point behind winner and fellow B.C. player Luke Pulfer. The match was three and a half hours long and featured 96 moves.

Kai's results qualified him to play at the World Youth Chess Championship in the United Arab Emirates in December.

“I wouldn't be surprised to see it come down to them (Luke and Kai) playing for the world championship in the U.A.E.,” said Kai's father Scott Richardson.

Both Pulfer and Kai have played on boards beside each other at tournaments through B.C. over the past two years and are very closely matched.

The difference between Richardson and rival Pulfer, is Kai is self taught and never had the luxury of a mentor or master.

“99 percent of the kids from 5 to 18 have master teachers and coaches. They pay big money, learn tactics and strategy,” said Scott. “The difference between them is that Kai is self taught and he is beginning to show style and creativity.”

Kai, 10, taught himself how to play at age five from the internet and books. He studies chess everyday and loves it. Kai plays at the library every Tuesday to

play chess with friends Rob Hamm and Ken Mitchell.

Kai also enjoys gymnastics, reading, playing music on the organ, and his daily chores which involve feeding his animals.

Last year Kai became the top rated player in B.C. and third nationally with a 1774 rating.

Kai achieved an expert performance rating of 1887 at last year's Canadian Open.

“With each chance to play strong chess players his game becomes stronger. He could become the next U10 world chess champion,” said Scott.

Kai has already earned the support and admiration of many people in the Canadian Federation of Chess and is trying to raise money for his trip to the U.A.E. Those wanting to help send Kai to the U.A.E. can drop off donations at the Cariboo Advisor office on Broadway Ave. “We need the funds to get to the United Arab Emirates. His accommodation is paid for as a qualifier but airfare, food and travel within the county isn't,” said Scott, who figures they need to raise around $4000.

Richardson and his parents choose to live off the grid where they home school Kai. They have no phone access and grow their own food and rely on solar power. Their home is on the Chilcotin Plateau about 45 minutes from Rudy Johnson Bridge.

“Our way of life really puts Kai's environment in perspective,” said Scott. “Pretty cool to think a kid born and raised in the bush outside of Williams Lake could become a World chess champ.”

HOrOscOpe Aries, try not to pick sides when asked for your opinion on a dispute between close friends. Giving the impression of picking sides may strain a friendship.

Many positive things are on the horizon, Taurus. You just have to get through a few rough spots before it is clearer sailing this week.

Pisces is a pivotal player.

Challenge yourself this week, Gemini. Now is a great time to take on a new hobby or task and test your mettle. You will be glad you did when you accomplish your goals.

Cancer, trust those around you as they can be a valuable source of support and encourgagment. Work to be there for them as much as they have been there for you.

Summer fruit salad to make your mouth water A smart man knows that the tomato is a fruit. A wise man knows not to put it into a fruit salad.

A wise man knows that this time of the year can really make the ole taste buds stand up to attention. There is so much fresh fruit and produce these days, it almost makes my mouth water just to write about it.

I love fresh raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Heck, I like all fruit in season, especially in the summer season, because you can get lots of it, grown right here in our home province.

Blueberries are so tasty,

and sometimes I will eat a handful at a time, however that is almost a waste because you get a big blast of taste and then its gone... what I like to do is eat them one or two at a time and still please my tastebuds, but only longer, because I didn’t gobble them all at once.

You can make a blueberry sauce for pork chops, you can have blueberries in pancakes or cereal and of course you can make a tasty smoothie or put them in muffins for a tasty treat.

My better-half is a great muffin maker and with fresh blueberries in abundance she put them in ...

Blueberry Muffins ½ cup of oil 1½ cups of brown sugar 2 eggs 2 cups of oatmeal or eight grain cereal mixture 2 cups of milk 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder

Leo, a travel opportunity is just over the horizon, so have your bags packed and ready to depart at a moment’s notice. You can certainly use some time away.

Virgo, once you think you have everything figured out, a few variables get thrown into the mix.

You will show your ability to solve problems if you can handle the task.

Libra, someone close to you puts their faith in your ability to get a job done. Devote all of your attention to completing this task, and it will only enhance your resume.

Scorpio, others are quick to look to you for help because of your work ethic, experience and attention to detail. Embrace these opportunities as they can help your career.

Sagittarius, it could be in your best interest to remain out of the spotlight at the next social gathering. You might have a more enjoyable time as a fly on the wall.

½ tsp baking soda Stir all ingredients together. Fold in two cups of fresh blueberries. Put batter in muffin liners. Bake for 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Makes 24 muffins.

Yummy and nutritious as well.

Here’s my saying for

the day...

Give a smart man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a wise man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Take care and try some fresh blueberries soon.

Bye for now and Goood Cooking.

Capricorn, tight deadlines at work will have the pressure on you and your coworkers. But stick to the task at hand, and you will reap the rewards in the near future.

Hard work will get you ahead, Aquarius. Don’t shy away from an opportunity that comes your way, even if it seems less than promising at first glance.

Pisces, you may find yourself in a leadership role this week and will be called on to make a lot of decisions. Take advantage of this opportunity.
