Cariboo Gur Sikh Temple Society to celebrate 40 years
The Cariboo Gur Sikh Temple Society is celebrating 40 years with great excitement.
Three days of non-stop recital of the holy book (Guru Granth Sahib) free food (guru ka langer) and a free fireworks display are all on the agenda.
The celebrations start Friday, Aug. 23 and run until Sunday Aug. 25. The fireworks are set for Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
An air tanker douses the fire near Pinnacles last Thursday. The 0.2 hectares lightning-caused wildfire was in steep ground around Baker Creek, west of the Gold Pan City. Air tankers first responded and actioned the fire with retardant, then helicopters bucketed water onto it. Two parattack crews (six personnel) jumped into the site and actioned the fire from the ground with support from two helicopters. An initial attack crew (three personnel) was also on site. The fire was 100 per cent contained by 9 p.m. Crews returned on Friday, Aug. 15 to do mop-up. The Cariboo Fire Centre/Wildfire Management Branch received many calls from the public reporting smoke in that area and they thank the public for their vigilance. No structures were threatened at any time, nor was there an evacuation alert despite rumours on social media. There have been 69 wildfires in the Quesnel Zone this season: 64 lightning-caused and five person-caused. There have been a total of 285 fires in the Cariboo Fire Centre this season: 220 lightning-caused and 65 person-caused.Karen Powell photo

With Kim B.Sc. (Pharm)The dangers of excess alcohol consumption are very evident in Russia where 20 year old men have only a 63% chance of reaching the age of 60. Russians consume about 18 litres of pure alcohol per year. That’s twice the Canadian average. The alcohol of choice is vodka.A loss of a sense of taste is really a loss of sense of smell. Taste buds on our tongue help to distinguish sweet, bitter, acidic and salty foods. However it’s the odours of the food wafting up the nose from the outside and from the inside via the mouth that enhances food taste. The loss of sense of smell can be temporary (colds, flu, hayfever), fixable (nasal polyps) or due to more serious illness. See your doctor if you are concerned.Sixty years ago the publication Nature published the structure of DNA. It took 50 years for scientists to completely decode DNA through the international Human Genome Project creating a totally new science, genomics. Many compare this discovery with Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century and how it changed the world. Genomics may also change the world with cures for many diseases.There’s an effective vaccine available to help prevent shingles.

With an infusion of $22,000, North Cariboo residents are learning even more about locally grown products.
The funding came from the provincial Buy Local Program to further enhance the North Cariboo Farm Country – Grown for You campaign.
“Our region is home to numerous hard work working producers who make and sell some incredible agricultural products,” Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes said.
“Thanks to this buy local funding they will now be able to get their Cariboo made items to a larger audience and at the same time, assist our local economy.”
The program is spearheaded by the Quesnel Community and Economic
Development Corporation and the North Cariboo Agricultural Marketing Association. It includes plans for the promotion of North Cariboo grown products and farm based services through signs, banners, product packaging, in store promotional materials and upgraded websites. The campaign is working to promote more than 50 products produced in the north, ranging from dairy, natural � bers, fruits and vegetables, livestock and speciality meats, plants and � owers, honey, jams and syrups, as well as other prepared foods.
The program works to focus on the region from Nazko to Barkerville and McLeese Lake to Strathnaver.
“The north Cariboo offers residents and
visitors great local food options and this option helps spread the word about them in the marketplace,” Agriculture Minister Pat Pimm said.
“Shopping locally, the dollars stay in the community and in the pockets of B.C.’s ranching and farming families.”
“The funding from the program will increase awareness and raise the pro� le of locally produced agricultural products and farm based
services by further promoting the North Cariboo – Grown for You brand,” North Cariboo Agricultural Marketing Association chair Heloise Dixon-Warren added.
“This will result in all of us having better access to quality, locally produced products and will ultimately bring agricultural producers together through collaboration and partnerships.”

NEWS Follow us on Facebook for breaking news in
your communityBeautiful but deadlyWater gardeners
beware of this exotic aquatic. Yellow Flag Iris may be a breath-taking ornamental pond plant but don’t be fooled; it’s a serious invasive species. Yellow Flag Iris is the Cariboo Regional District’s next Weed of the Week
This plant is native to Europe, the British Isles, North Africa and the Mediterranean region. And as of right now, it is still being sold in nurseries and can be bought on the internet around the world.
Yellow Flag Iris grows about four feet tall with a robust stalk and the stems/leaves are long, dark green, � attened and sword like. The leaves have a distinctive ridge in the mid-vein and they contain a sap that is toxic if ingested or can cause skin irritations. The � owers are a vibrant yellow, with three petals that are backwards curving.
What makes this plant multiply so quickly is that it spreads vegetatively and by seed. If a piece of the roots breaks off, the piece is able to � oat down stream and re-sprout a new plant. The seed pods of yellow � ag can remain buoyant in the water for up to seven months.
Yellow Flag Iris can grow in a variety of different habitats, including dry, high acidity or anoxia soils, brackish waters and in fresh or salt water. It can be found in temperate wetland, along margins of lakes, ponds, ditches and slow moving rivers. This invasive species is a major problem for aquatic habitat because of its ability to colonize so quickly and the roots form dense mats that are up to 30cm deep which choke out much of the native vegetation. Since it can form dense stands, it can change the width of water courses by compacting soil trapping sediments
and increasing elevation. It also affects the water � ow of irrigation canals and � ood control ditches.
There are Yellow Flag Iris infestations in Williams Lake that are currently being treated and recently the CRD Invasive Plant crews have inventoried new infestations along the shoreline of Lac La Hache.
Treatment options for Yellow Flag Iris:
• Local and Landscape Level:
• Hand pulling by digging up the whole plant, making sure you dig up the entire root and any fragments;
• Cutting the plants right to ground level, this will have to be done several times but can be effective;
All plant material must be bagged and disposed of in designated areas, such as invasive plant bins at your local land� ll.
DO NOT COMPOST INVASIVE PLANTS!
How can you help stop the spread of Yellow Flag Iris?
• Learn to identify this aquatic exotic;
• Do not purchase and plant Yellow Flag Iris;
• Wash boats and other water recreation vehicles before leaving a lake;
• Minimize soil disturbance;
• Report any sightings to the CRD at 1-800-665-1636, online at cariboord.bc.ca or email [email protected].
Instead of planting Yellow Flag Iris in your garden try these alternatives: Japanese Iris (Iris Ensata); Siberian Iris (Iris Sibirica); or Laevigata Iris (Iris laevigata).

Silver linings
Sometimes it takes a gutless, small-minded fool to rally the good in people.
And that’s exactly what happened earlier this month in Ontario. After an anonymous letter was
slipped into the mailbox of a grandmother, who’s grandson is an autistic 13-year-old, her community is rallying in support.The letter not only tells the
grandmother to take her autistic grandson and “Move! Vamoose! Scram!” it also calls the grandmother selfish for “allowing” the child outside with the other kids.Wow.This person’s words are so
incredibly hurtful, ignorant and cowardly it blows the mind. But from out of this haze of hatred and intolerance shone a much brighter light: that of a community rallying to support the boy and his family.With statements in the letter
such as “he is a nuisance to everyone and always will be.” And “You had a retarded kid, deal with it… properly,” it’s no wonder the letter ignited such passion from people exercising social consciousness. More than 120 people waited
outside the family’s home to show their solidarity for inclusiveness – each and every one of them doing their part to fight back against what can only be classified as bullying. It’s too bad it takes such
a disgusting letter to raise awareness for special needs and intolerance. But it’s also a sign society is ready and willing to stand up for those needing our support, patience, compassion and understanding.
–Autumn MacDonald, Observer
Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered
some advice for students heading for post-secondary education this fall.
In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.”
B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north.
“My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.”
That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s
spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched.
Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching.
B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas.
It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa,
that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowledges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs.
NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen University and B.C. Institute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted that advanced education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years.
Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start.
In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to
find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall.
As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not.
Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Editor’s note: Andy Motherwell passed away Aug. 7, 2013 after a short illness. This is his final column. Andy will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all at the Cariboo Observer.
We used to snowmobile from Nazko
to Pan Phillip’s fish camp about 30 plus years ago. Winters were colder then; frozen river and lake waters allowed us to use these frozen highways rather than the rough, rocky trails along the Blackwater River and the First Nation’s Trail from Nazko to Kluskus.
The ice held (it was supposed to be two feet thick), even though the edges were quickly melt-ing away.
We planned on a long trip and Toby Cave, a well-known Quesnel bush pilot, volunteered to fly some of our supplies, a familiar practice for him.
We unloaded our ma-chines near the Coglistico River on the Kluskus Trail.
Things went well until we reached Kluskus Lake by the creek draining the lake. The ice seemed good and in no time we were going up the creek. At a corner, I suddenly found clear water and I ran my machine up a sunken log, where it quit. The lighter machine of my then wife made it to dry land. Then, since most of my machine was under H2O, I stripped my snowsuit down and, wading, car-ried the supplies to terra firma.
Did I mention we had left home at Bouchie Lake at 5 a.m.?
It didn’t take me long to hook up a tow strap so we could pull my wet monster out.
Great, only the engine refused to start. We were a long way from Pan’s, so decided to cut and run for home. We did finally get the engine started just as dusk settled in.
One resolve was to not stop the engine and it did it’s part until we reached our vehicle and trailer in total blackness at around 1 a.m. We left the clearance lights of the pickup on so we could tie everything down. Then when we went to start the pickup, the battery was dead. A fellow I knew lived a short distance away and he graciously jump-started my vehicle – then went back to bed.
We headed out on the old Baezeko Road until we got to a great mud and ice hole. The mud was stiffening up and a layer of slippery ice was form-ing at the bottom of the hole. We spun out, backed up, tried again and finally broke clear. Our suits were covered in frozen mud (it was a bout -20F then) and we got home about 4 a.m.
We found the lake ice went out three days later.
We resolved never again to make all the mistakes we did as any one of the obstacles could have been our end.
At Sylvia’s Cafe, July 1, 2013, I recognized a face and found it was our benefactor of 30 plus years ago – Greg Ross, whom I had not seen until then.
The moral of this story is to not take extreme risks even though a good samaritan is close by.
Andy Motherwell was an amateur historian and a valued regular Observer contributor.

Every year, on the first Saturday of October at 11 a.m. (in Quesnel, Oct. 5, 2013, at CDC), mothers and children at sites across Canada, the United States and other countries around the world compete to set the record for the most children breastfeeding at one time.
Why this challenge? Breastfeeding has many well-documented ben-efits, including better health for both mothers and babies. According to UNICEF, of the 136.7 million babies born worldwide, only 32.6 per cent of them breastfeed exclusively in the first six months. The recom-mendation is for exclu-sive breastfeeding for the first six months and continued breastfeeding for two years and beyond together with adequate, appropriate and indig-enous complimentary feeding starting from the age of six months. Two of the biggest hurdles for mothers continue to
be lack of support and marginalization by the community. In North America, this lack of support is demonstrated as many women find breastfeeding in public a major barrier.
The Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge began in 2001 in Brit-ish Columbia, Canada with 856 children at 26 sites. By 2012, there were 3,934 children in nine countries at more than 211 sites with a total of more than 20,000 sup-porters. We hope for even greater support this year!
There is still a great deal of work to be done.
The Quintessence Foundation, a non-profit group providing education to parents and professionals about breastfeeding and human milk banking, sponsors the Breastfeeding Chal-lenge.

As we make our way southwest from Jackson Hole Wyoming , we continue to be immersed in the scenery, history
and people of this area. We are traversing the same valleys and mountain passes that the “Forty-Niners” streamed through on their way to the promise lands – California and Oregon. Our trek is getting close in length to the original California Trail that was almost 2,000 miles long. This week (Aug. 5), we’ll reach the 2,600 km mark and we still have a pass or two to cross.
We feel a bit like the 49er’s when we say “We’ve seen the elephant!” They used this phrase to characterize their encounters with vast areas and mountainous terrain. Both have been synonymous with our journey. The feeling of climbing an incline knowing others chose the same route more than 150 years ago is somewhat eerie knowing, at times, we’re traveling the same speed they were and seeing landscape that hasn’t changed. To those old time overlanders the elephant symbolized a challenging trip and the adventure of a lifetime. We concur.
Just like the anonymous gal who offered shelter to us in Hamilton, Montana, good samaritans seem to jump out of the sagebrush. Case in point: two thoughtful souls, Kim and Laurie from Kemmerer, WY. As the story goes, we rolled into Afton, WY hoping to � nd a campground – maybe even one with a shower. Afton has the distinction of being one of the longest towns we’ve been through. One very long and straight Main Street � anked by a mixture of old and new. Golden Spur Cafe vs. Burger King. We performed the usual ride about and came up empty-handed, almost. After nixing the Acme Campground RV Park, we went back to the County Fairgrounds where we had no luck inquiring just 10 minutes earlier. Noticing a circle of campers and RVs we wondered how we might join them. With nobody in sight and about ready to draw the short straw again, I noticed
a fella stepping out of his trailer. I went over, quickly introduced myself and asked who might be in charge of letting us pitch our tent for the night. Stuf� ng some Copenhagen in his mouth, Kim replied he wasn’t exactly sure, but his wife Laurie was on the County Fair Committee and she might shed some light. They, along with the other campers, were there getting ready for the start of the Lincoln County Fair. Upon asking Laurie, she offered a spot to us against the museum building. She made sure we had shade and access to the restrooms and... showers. She even called Bill, who was ultimately in charge of the wagon circle. “No problem” was the answer. He kindly came by later to make sure we were comfortable and to turn down our offer to pay for the spot. Nice folks indeed.
The last two days of pedaling along sections of the American Gold Rush Trail have been the most dif� cult of the ride. Inclines upwards of 10 per cent and the relentless headwinds that frequent Wyoming and southeastern Idaho compounded the challenge. Nevertheless, we pushed, one pedal at a time, with our own wagonload of determination to reach Montpelier, Idaho where we’re now camped. We’re slowing the pace down a little, as the days are much hotter after we descended to a lower elevation than we’ve experienced in the past three weeks. Our next challenge will be the Bear Lake Summit, elevation 7,810 feet, as we head to Logan, Utah. We’re going to leave that for later in the week when the forecast is for cooler temperatures. Likely a good decision.
At this point, we’re now a little over a week away from riding into Salt Lake City. Even though we’re not as rich with time as when we started, we know that each and every day on a bicycle tour is an adventure and we look forward to seeing more “elephants” as we make our way to the Great Salt Lake.

“You know, if every kid in the inner cities in this country belonged to 4-H, we wouldn’t have much of a crime problem,” former U-S President Bill Clinton said in an address to Montana State University in 1995. The public doesn’t often think of 4-H clubs as being a crime prevention tool, but it’s one of the many positive side effects of the 4-H program, which in Canada is celebrating 100 years in existence and B.C. will mark 100 years of the program in 2014.
As part of the B.C. 4-H provincial council’s efforts to recruit new members, connect with alumni and attract sponsors, the “Revo-lution of Responsibility” tour was launched in 2012 with the help of corporate sponsorship from CIBC and this initiative continues with a 4-H representative com-ing to Quensel’s Farmers’ Market, Aug. 24, to answer questions and distribute information on joining this youth program.
The results are tangible, with an increase in enrol-
ment in 2013 of more than five per cent with 2,300 B.C. youth ages 6-21 involved in more than 160 clubs with 600 plus vol-unteer leaders in B.C. and the Yukon. While beef and horse projects are amongst the most popular, the Cloverbud program, which introduces 6 – 8 year olds to the program, has quickly gained traction, as have many non-agriculture 4-H projects like photography, outdoor living, canine and many others that urban youth can take part in with all the same benefits. This year nearly 20 per cent of the 4-H members in B.C are in non-agriculture pro-grams.
In Quesnel, there are three local 4-H clubs with more than 40 members with a wide range of projects, from dog, gardening, beef, cloverbud, craft, horse, leather craft, outdoor liv-ing, photography, poultry, rabbit, sheep, small engine, swine, tractor and junior leadership. It’s fairly easy to start a club as well; a club needs a leader, six members,
a sponsor and a lot of enthusi-asm!
Members achieve life-long learning through con-ducting meet-ings, holding an office position within their club, maintain-ing accurate records and public speak-ing opportuni-ties. Working in a team, developing leadership skills, meeting deadlines, becom-ing responsible citizens and giving back to their commu-nities is all a part of the 4-H experience.
Joining 4-H gives youth unlimited potential. There are all kinds of scholarship and travel opportunities, external Grade 11 and 12 school credits, the chance to meet new people from all over British Columbia and Canada and other countries, provincial programs that focus on building leader-ship, teamwork and other fundamental life skills.
“I hear from employers that tell us if they see 4-H involvement on a young person’s resume that can-didate moves to the top of the pile,” Kevin Rothwell, Manager of B.C. 4-H said.
“There are just so many good reasons to be involved and if that has world lead-ers thinking that it’s a great crime prevention tool, well that’s icing on the cake!”

The drive to be the best in the Cariboo

The tournament drew 48 golfers from Quesnel, Smithers, Prince George, Williams Lake and McKenzie.

Michelle Lalonde and Parra Liliama of Aberdeen Golf Course in Prince George paired up to take the first low net with a score of 116.
Mary Braithwaite was the top local, teaming up with Cheryl Poulin of McKenzie to just sneak into first low gross at 156, beating out Anita Pendergast / Janice Lazzarin from thr Prince George Golf and Curling Club (PGGCC). The teams were tied at the end of the weekend and the winner was decided with a regression method.
Both winning teams were awarded lovely engraved vases, with prizes following, event organizer Merridith Walton said.
The Prince George Golf and Curling Club’s (PGGCC) Gerry Bowman and Linda Avis managed a score of 126, netting them the second low net.
The third low net went to a pair of Gold Pan
residents, Rickey Deis and Nancy O’Flynn, with a score of 127.
Bonnie Watson and Kathy Cook finished the weekend with the fourth low net and a score of 128.
Heather Gagnon and Patsy Woollends took the fifth low net with the same score, 128.
Kit Collins and Vi Brears finished the weekend with a score of 160, which was good enough for third for the gross score.
Aberdeen golfers Linda Heaslip and Pam Boehner finished in sixth with their net score of 129.
In fourth for the low gross, PGGCC golfer Shirley Halliday and Aberdeen golfer Colleen Johnson finished the weekend with 164.
A pair of Ellisons from Quesnel took the seventh lowest net score, with 129.
Lana Ryan and Patti Montagnon of PGGCC fished with 164 points, good enough to place them in fifth in low gross score.
Peggy Brown and Marcia Marcia Martinson, also from PGGCC, took eighth lowest net with a score of 129.
Diane Rogers and Heather Marchildon of Quesnel took the sixth lowest gross with a score of 165.

August 18 - 24, 2013ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Now is a great time to explore new culinary horizons, Aries. You just may find a new type of cuisine that you never would have anticipated liking.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, if you feel like there haven’t been too many opportunities to socialize with friends, host your own gathering of friends and family. Start planning now.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, sometimes forgetting responsibilities and acting like a child for a day can be good for the spirit. Take a mental health day and don’t let worries get you down for a few hours.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, make travel plans before the summer passes you by. There has never been a better time to get out for a road trip or book a weekend jaunt to some-where special.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, it can be difficult to upstage you, but someone else steps into the spotlight at work and it has you reeling for a little while. Be the bigger person and offer congrats.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you might be ultra careful when choosing friends, but keep in mind those closest to you have been there through thick and thin. Remember that this week.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, despite the many changes you have made, you still don’t feel completely satisfied. You can’t put your finger on what is off, but you will get to it eventually.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you have heard the saying that you catch more flies with honey. Be prepared to lay the honey on especially thick this week. Have fun with it.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, it’s hard to smile when you are feeling upset. This is not the week to let your true feelings show, though. Get through your obligations first.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Carpricorn, if you have been thinking about getting active to shed a few pounds, then try something fun like playing a sport. Exercise doesn’t have to mean time in the gym.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Certain aspects of your life are a work in progress, Aquarius. Other things you have under control. This week, focus on the things that may be holding you back.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, while creative pursuits tickle your fancy this week, some more mundane tasks require your im-mediate attention.

At the end of some on again, off again racing Saturday, Byron Hesselgrave and Devin Barks drove away with the winning trophies for street stocks and mini stocks.
Cloudy weather with some indecisive rain made for some tense moments at the oval, but the drivers committed to the night, fitting in the heats between showers.
With only seven cars in the street stocks, the cars ran three deep in the A dash, with Quesnel’s Hesselgrave, #42, taking the checkered flag before going on to take the A heat and the main event.
QARA racer Jesse Fisher, #28 won the four car B dash.
Henry Peterson, #11, of QARA recorded the fastest lap of the evening.
While PGARA’s Barks, #18, won the main event, it was all Quesnel racers across
the line first in the dashes.
Terry Braman, #52, won the A dash, while Eric Farnsworth, #3, took the B dash and Mike Garcia in the #9 car won the C.
Farnsworth went on to win again, taking the A heat.
Robin Blari, #24.6, took the checkered flag in the B heat.
QARA’s Brian Zipser hustled his #99 mini stock around the track the quickest, taking the fastest time for the minis.
The mini stocks
saw some off road action in the main event, when Masyn Schwemler took a ride, flipping the number five car he was driving in the B heat. Schwemler was uninjured, extricating himself from the car without assistance.
QARA was celebrating its fans with its fan appreciation day, allowing spectators to bring in canned goods for the food banks
in lieu of buying a ticket.
“Thanks to everyone who attended the races and donated food for the food bank,” race organizer Kathy Spooner said.
The tire next hits the oval tarmac with a weekend of racing to finish off the season, Sept. 21 – 22. The weekend includes the Fall Classic, the points final and the Tri-City race.
