The greatCaribooGold RushThe great Cariboo gold rush is often per-ceived to be an indepen-dent and lengthy event, where thousands of gold seekers came into the country and became incredibly rich. In fact, very little of that is true. Here’s what happened:

The gold rush was a long, protracted hap-pening which began in California in 1848. However, in each area it touched, the gold was quickly gathered, and the prospectors moved on, ever northward, in search of the big strike. Thus they moved from creek to creek, check-ing for evidence of gold. These were placer min-ers, first using gold pans to check out the gravel, and then, if “colour” was found, setting up sluice boxes, rockers, and flumes to wash the gold out of the grav-el. By 1858 these gold seekers had started up the Fraser River, where they were working on the many sand and gravel bars when the water was low.

But gold had

been discovered long before that by the First Nations people who had found many creeks and rivers in the Interior where “yellow rocks” could be seen in the gravel. Records show that Chief Trader, Donald McLean of the Hudson’s Bay Company at Fort Kamloops was buying gold from the local people as early as 1852. By 1857, many of the Nicomen Band were recover-ing gold nuggets and trading it to the HBC. By February 1858, the Fort Kamloops HBC had over 800 ounces of gold. This was a dilem-ma for the company. They knew that the promise of gold would bring a hoard of would be miners into the area, and the fun trade would be ruined. But gold was gold, so it was sent off to San Francisco to be mined. Of course,

word got out and on April 25, 1858 the paddlewheel steamer Commodore docked at Victoria with 450 eager gold seekers aboard.

At the time the white population of Victoria was just 400. thus began the gold rush of 1858. Within the next eight months more than 30,000 more miners flocked into the colony of New Caledonia.

Meanwhile, mass gold mining had begun on the sand bars of the Fraser River. A group of men camped on one of the bars north of Hope. One of the men noticed particles of gold in the moss that was growing on the rocks. He washed a pan of the moss and found many flakes of gold.

The rest of the party began to pan the gravel and found even more gold. The bar was named Hill’s Bar after the man who first noticed the gold. Hill’s

Bar would ultimately yield $2 million in gold.

Even today, when you travel through the Fraser Canyon names like Boston Bar, China Bar, Kanaka Bar, Sailor’s Bar and Emory’s Bar are reminders of the mad dash to find gold along the Fraser River in 1858. By 1859, a group of men, consisting of Peter Dunlevy, Thomas Manifee, Tom Moffatt, Jim Sellers, Ira Crow, and John MacLean had reached the mouth of the Chilcotin River. There they had made camp and were pan-ning the gravel, finding traces of gold. A young native lad suddenly appeared and asked for food. He was a runner and guide for the HBC, and was from the Fort Kamloops area.

The boy stayed for a couple of days and watched the men work. On the second day, he told them that he knew of a place where “the gold is round and heavier” than that which Dunlevy and his group were panning. That place was on a small river northwest of Lac La Hache. The men arranged to meet the runner in a fort-night (14 days) on the HBC fur brigade trail at the southeast end of Lac La Hache.

Two weeks later, the six gold seekers were at the appointed meeting place. Sure enough, the native lad showed up. He told them that he couldn’t take them to the river where the gold was, but he had brought along his cousin to take them there.

The men travelled overland past what are now called Eagle Lake, McIntosh Lake, Moffatt Lake, and then down Moffatt Creek to the Horsefly River. There they found coarse gold nuggets the size

of wheat and larger. It was the middle of June, 1859. Within a few hours, another group of men arrived in the area. When gold is found word travels fast!

Although much gold was found in the Horsefly River, the gold seekers continued to search for more, push-ing further north, from one stream to the next.

By 1860 they were at Quesnelle Forks, where the Cariboo and Quesnel Rivers join, and later that year, they had moved up river to Keithley Creek. In 1861 they had moved up over Yank’s Peak to Antler Creek, Lightning Creek and Barkerville. The great Cariboo gold rush was in full swing!

But, by 1864, it was all but over. All the creeks, streams and riv-ers, as well as the lands around them had been staked. The placer miners had moved on, looking for other gold bearing areas. The rush moved further north, to the Omineca area, then even further, culminat-ing in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.

The truth is that for any particular region, like the Cariboo, the gold rush lasted only a short time two or three years at the most before the gold was cleaned out, except for the hard rock underground min-ers which remained.

Thousands and tens of thousands of gold seekers flooded the areas, but less than one in twenty actually struck it rich. Many returned home empty handed, but a few stayed on the open up our prov-ince and to establish the roots which grew and blossomed into the B.C. we know today.

With a past steeped in rodeo and ranching traditions, it’s no won-der Fred and Paddie Thomas are the reign-ing King and Queen of the Williams Lake Stampede.

Well okay, maybe they’re not officially the “king and queen,” but with a lifetime of Stampedes under their cowboy belts, (includ-ing the last twenty years as President of the Stampede Association for Fred) the two just as well be.

“We love it,” says Paddy from behind the Stampede office coun-ter of the annual rodeo, where she and a core group of volunteers work countless hours to make the Stampede hap-pen.

“When you’re raised with it, it’s a part of you. I’ve been coming (to the Stampede) forever.”

Paddy is the oldest of three siblings born to well known cowboy and former Alkali Lake Ranch manager Bill Twan.

Bill was working as a young ranch hand when he met Paddy’s mom, Margaret Flockheart, who was from Scotland and came to the area to work as a nanny at Alkali Lake Ranch.

The couple worked the ranch their whole lives and raised their children there; Paddy Thomas, Bucky Larden and Bronc Twan.

The siblings never strayed too far from home. Paddy and Bucky are neighbours in Chimney Valley while Bronc and his wife Liz (a well known rodeo and ranching photo-journalist) have carried on the family tradition of managing Alkali Lake Ranch.

Paddy says she still remembers when her

dad competed as a bronc rider and roman racer at the Williams Lake Stampede, back in the day when families came in by wagon and fields of tents popped up where there is now the grandstand and back parking lot.

“It was really neat. And racing was a big part of it back then.”

As a young man, Fred had big dreams of his own but they didn’t involve the cowboy lifestyle before he met Paddy.

“My ambition in life was to be a profes-sional hockey player,” recalls Fred, who instead played hockey for the Stampeders and was introduced to team rop-ing at the Alkali Lake Ranch by Paddy and her family.

“It was something I enjoyed,” Fred said of learning roping.

“It’s more of an indi-vidual sport, it’s you against a stop watch. It was kind of addictive, a neat thing to do.”

Fred made a name for himself as a com-petitive roper and also worked for more than thirty years at Telus while Paddy worked at court registry.

He and Paddy have been married 48 years now and have raised two sons, Owen and Brad, who also appreciate hockey and competitive roping.

And though they are both retired, one could hardly tell, considering the two work around the clock as volun-teers for the Stampede Association.

“The Stampede is not just a four-day operation,” Fred says of the year-round commit-ment to putting on the event. But he loves the work.

“There are a lot of great people here. I get to meet and work with

people from all walks of life,” Fred says of the rewards of volunteering with the Stampede.

“My philosophy is if you’re not having fun, don’t be here.”

In the months lead-ing up to Stampede, work is so demanding Fred doesn’t even have time to go fishing, but he refuses to give up his golf.

“Come hell or high water, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 o’clock I’m golfing.”

In his time as Association president, Fred says he has achieved his own personal goals of

seeing rodeo attendance surpass 15,000 fans and making improve-ments to the Stampede Grounds every year.

The couple admit though, they are eye-ing up the possibility of reducing their roles in the Stampede.

“Maybe it’s time for someone younger to take it on,” Fred said of the demanding role of Stampede President. “We’re thinking about it.”

But in the meantime the two will continue to enjoy the rodeo, and all of their friends and family who help them celebrate the tradition every year.

Working at the Stampede is a family affair for Paddy Thomas and her husband Fred, the cur-rent Williams Lake Stampede Association President. The couple's grandson Colton worked cleaning up ticket area and Let R Buck Saloon recently before the crowds arrived for the weekend.

When he and his family moved from South Africa to Canada a decade ago, outdoor enthusi-ast Charles Newsberry and his wife Melissa traded in their surf boards and sail boats for skis

and a pair of mountain bikes.“Melissa and I have always

done outdoors stuff,” Charles says of his attraction to the adren-aline pumping sport of mountain biking.

“The first thing we did

when we moved to Canada was take up (downhill) skiing, then we heard about mountain bik-ing.”

So, at least a couple times a week for the last decade Charles

has hit the local trails and mountain biking festivals to challenge himself with the sport.

“It gets you out in nature. That’s what really drew me to it,” he said.

That, and the thrill that biking up and down mountains, over roots and rocks, can bring.

“We’ve always done things that give us a little bit of an adrenaline kick. It’s what keeps me sane.”

Charles, who is the human resources man-ager at the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, says he and Melissa plan to keep biking “as long as we can” and says there’s no better place to do so than just out their back door on the trails

around Williams Lake.

Frank Teer 2013 BC Cowboy Hall Of Fame Ranching Pioneer

Frank Teer carved a ranch out of the wil-derness and spent his whole life around cat-tle and horses. Frank embraced the challenges of the hard cowboy life and loved living the life-style.

Frank was born in 1916 in Big River Saskatchewan to Sam

and Lucy Teer, the youngest of eight chil-dren.

He was only six when his father died, so Frank helped his moth-er on the homestead where they maintained a herd of 40 head of shorthorns.

Frank married Aldythe while ranching in Clinton and spent his life ranching in Clinton, and later in North Western B.C.

Frank was dedicated to ranching, his family and taught his children,

grandchildren and great grandchildren the cow-boy way of life.

He was always avail-able to help a neigh-bour with a sick animal. After a hip replace-ment in 1990, Frank spent much of his time with his grandchildren coaching and encourag-ing them as they learned to ride and rope and promoting the ranch life style.

Frank died in 1999 after suffering a heart attack a year earlier. He is buried in the Old Heritage Cemetery in Clinton beside his wife Aldythe and their two infant children.

JOHN DODD2013 BC COWBOY HALL OF FAME WORKING COWBOY

John Dodd was a lifelong working cow-boy and decorated sol-dier.

He was born July 25,1915, in Spuzzum B.C. When he start-ed out working on his own, John was still very young.

He worked as a ranch hand until he enlisted in the Canadian Scottish Regiment in September 4, 1940 and served overseas until April 8, 1946. He was awarded a military medal for bravery.

Returning to his home after the war, John continued his cowboy career. He loved the cowboy way of life, rid-ing the open range.

He worked on many of the big ranches in the Cariboo Chilcotin areas including the Gang Ranch and the Circle S.

His cowboy skills did not go un-noticed and soon John was hired as general manager at Chilco Ranch and was later manager of the River Ranch.

John was a mentor to many youngsters and helped them with their horses and also helped with 4-H.

He was an active member in the BC Cattlemen’s Association and worked at the Williams Lake Stock Yards for several years.

Although he didn’t compete in rodeo, John was always ready to help with repairs and main-tenance of the Williams Lake stampede grounds. He was dedicated to his children and was always there with encourage-ment and help. Two of John’s sons, Mike and David ride in rough stock events in the rodeo.

John worked for a brief period in Alberta and returned to work at the Gang Ranch until his retirement.

When he was ready to retire, John settled at Riske Creek where he kept a few saddle hors-es. He died September 16, 1995 at the age of 80. John is buried

in the Williams Lake Cemetery.

ARCHIE WILLIAMS2013 BC COWBOY HALL OF FAMECOMPETITIVE

He has been called ‘a one-of-a-kind’ cowboy, perhaps born 100 years too late, but in these modern times, makes the best of riding, rop-ing and telling stories of the ol’ days.

Archie Williams, well known and respect-ed rodeo competitor, has never lived very far from his roots. He was born and raised on the Bonaparte Reserve at Cache Creek in 1944. He spent a lot of work-ing and riding his uncle Dave Perry who encour-aged him to pursue a career in rodeo. Dave and Joan Perry had a ranch at Cache Creek and were well known rodeo competitors and stock contractors.

Archie began com-peting at the age of 14 and still competes today, well into his late 60s. He is a horse-man and competed mostly in timed events such as calf roping, cow penning, barrel racing and team roping. He tried steer wrestling and spent many years rid-ing as a pick-up man in the bucking events. In 1974, Archie made history as the first pick-up man for the CNFR chosen by the cowboys themselves. From that time on he was sure to be chosen every time he submitted his name as a

candidate.Team roping is

Archie’s favourite com-petition. Twice he attended Camarillo Team Roping Schools just so he could get it right. He won his first team roping champion-ship with partner Herb Reeder and over the years has roped with several cowboys. Archie is a five-time BC Team Roping Association champion. His rop-ing partner for over 15 years was his good friend Fred Stevenson. He often partnered with the late Diane White and Doug White and more recently with his son Neal.

Today Archie is still roping but now his partners are his grand-sons, each of them taking turns through-out the rodeo circuit. His granddaughters are learning to rope and will soon be competing with their grandfather. Archie spends a lot of time with his grandchil-dren and whenever he is babysitting he takes them out riding in the arena or somewhere in the mountains and teaching them the cow-boy ways.

Archie was cho-sen by the BC Rodeo Association ‘Rodeo Person of the Year’in 2010.

LARRY RAMSTAD2013 BC COWBOY HALL OF FAME WORKING COWBOY/HORSEMAN

Larry Ramstad, leg-endary manager of the

million-plus acre Gang Ranch since 1990, has always made his living horseback around cows. He has worked on ranches with horses and cattle all his life. Larry was raised on the fam-ily farm in Valleyview, Alberta and after gradu-ating from agricultural college came to the Nicola Valley to work on the Guichon Ranch.

Ramstad spent one year working on remote ranches in New Zealand and Australia before returning to British Columbia. Back again, in the Nicola Valley, Larry cowboyed at Quilchena Cattle Co. under experienced cow boss Ken Knapp, who taught him well. During his time work-ing there, Larry met Beverly Twan and they were married in 1969. Beverly was well used to ranch life as she had grown up at Quilchena and was managing the ranch store at the time she and Larry met. They have two chil-dren, Larry Dean and Lori and two grand-daughters, Braidyn and Courtney.

After six years at Quilchena, the family moved to the Chilcotin and Larry worked on the Cotton Ranch at Riske Creek. He was the cow boss there for three years. Another ranch in the area, the River Ranch, had been sold to people from

Italy. Larry was hired by former owner Bob Lee to manage the ranch for the new absentee owners. The ranch was badly run down, but with a lot of hard work and good management, Ramstad turned it into a successful operation in two years time.

Unassuming, level-headed, level-speaking Larry soon gained a reputation as an excel-lent ranch manager. Guy Rose, the owner of Quilchena, wanted Larry back to manage the ranch and try to turn it around. He got the job done in short order and stayed on as manager at Quilchena for twelve years.

From Quilchena,

Larry went to Gang Ranch on the south west side of the Fraser River. The new owner, Sheik Ibraham Afandi of Saudi Arabia adver-tised for a manager and of the 98 applicants for the position, Larry was chosen. The ranch had passed through many owners and managers in the previous years and was in a sorry state. Corrals, buildings and irrigation systems were in disrepair. The hay grounds needed atten-tion and the cowherd was in bad shape. Larry knew it would be a dif-ficult job but he first hired cowboys and a ranch crew and got to work improving the cattle’s welfare and did other ranch improve-ments when time per-

mitted. The Ramstads

toughed it out and worked hard over the years to improve the livestock and ranch until it was a success-ful operation. All of the money generated by the ranch goes back into improvements, employee’s wages and goods and services from local suppliers, adding to the economy of the area. Larry and Bev have been on the ranch for over two decades now, longer than any other owner or man-ager. Larry is well liked by his peers and has a reputation of being very honest and respectful in his dealings with other people.

For many years Larry has had Ray Hunt put

on horsemanship and colt starting clinics at the ranch to improve the cowboys skills and the horses. Larry is himself, an expert horseman.

Larry is an avid sup-porter of ranch rodeo and Gang Ranch cow-boys are regular com-petitors.

He was recently hon-oured at the Nanton rodeo in Alberta for upholding the western tradition and cowboy lifestyle as all the cat-tle work on the Gang Ranch is done on horse-back.

Larry Ramstad is a cattleman, horse-man and ‘cowboy for all seasons’. He is most deserving of a place in the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Summer is here and so are the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are more than a nuisance; some carry West Nile virus, a disease that is spread from infected birds to humans through mosquito bites. Any activity that prevents mosquitoes from bit-ing or breeding can help to reduce the risk of becoming infected with West Nile virus.

West Nile virus (WNv) was first

detected in B.C. in the South Okanagan during the summer of 2009. To date there have been three human cases of WNv acquired in our province - all of which have been in the Okanagan. Last year, several parts of the Canada and the U.S. saw significant increases in West Nile virus activity.

“We would like to remind residents to take steps both here at

home and when trav-elling to avoid mos-quito bites this sum-mer,” said Jennifer Jeyes, Communicable Disease Specialist with Interior Health. “While the risk of becoming seriously ill from WNv infec-tion is low for many people, it is higher for some such as the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It is impor-tant to remember there

are preventative steps that everyone can take in order to reduce the risk of infection.”

Jeyes offers the fol-lowing tips: Use mos-quito repellent. Wear protective clothing. Avoid outdoor activi-ties at dusk and dawn. Install screens on win-dows. Prevent mos-quito breeding around your home.

B.C. and Interior Health are on the watch for West Nile

virus. Surveillance pro-grams include report-ing dead birds from the corvid family (crows, ravens, magpies, and jays). These birds are more likely than others to die from West Nile virus.

Members of the public are encouraged to report dead corvid birds using the BC Centre for Disease Control Dead Bird Reporting page: http://westnile.bccdc.org/.

Center for Disease Control

Elderly people are more prone to heat stress than younger people for several rea-sons: Elderly people do not adjust as well as young people to sud-den changes in tem-perature.

They are more like-ly to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat.

They are more like-ly to take prescription medicines that impair the body’s ability to regulate its tempera-ture or that inhibit perspiration.

Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature: the body’s temperature rises rap-idly, the body loses its ability to sweat, and it

is unable to cool down. Body temperatures rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 min-utes. Heat stroke can cause death or perma-nent disability if emer-gency treatment is not provided.

Signs and Symptoms of Heat Strokemay include the following symptoms:

An extremely high body temperature (above 103°F)

Red, hot, and dry skin (no sweating)

Rapid, strong pulseThrobbing head-

acheDizzinessNauseaHeat ExhaustionHeat exhaustion is

a milder form of heat-related illness that can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures and inadequate or unbal-anced replacement of

fluids.

SignS and SymptomS oF Heat exHauStion

Warning signs vary but may include the following:

Heavy sweatingPalenessMuscle CrampsTirednessWeaknessDizzinessHeadacheNausea or vomitingFaintingSkin: may be cool

and moistPulse rate: fast and

weakBreathing: fast and

shallow

WHat you Can do to proteCt yourSelF

You can follow these prevention tips to pro-tect yourself from heat-related stress:

Drink cool, non-alcoholic beverages. Rest. Take a cool show-

er, bath, or sponge bath. If possible, seek an air-conditioned environment. Wear lightweight clothing. If possible, remain indoors in the heat of the day. Do not engage in strenuous activities.

WHat you Can do to Help proteCt elderly relativeS and neigHBorS

If you have elderly relatives or neighbors, you can help them pro-tect themselves from heat-related stress: Visit older adults at risk at least twice a day and watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Encourage them to increase their fluid intake by drinking cool, nonalcoholic beverages regard-less of their activ-ity level. Warning: If their doctor generally

limits the amount of fluid they drink or they are on water pills, they will need to ask their doctor how much they should drink while the weather is hot.

Take them to air-conditioned locations if they have transporta-tion problems.

WHat you Can do For Someone WitH Heat StreSS

If you see any signs of severe heat stress, you may be dealing with a life-threaten-ing emergency. Have someone call for imme-diate medical assistance while you begin cool-ing the affected person. Do the following:

get tHe perSon to a SHady area

Cool the person rapidly, using whatever methods you can. For example, immerse the

person in a tub of cool water; place the person in a cool shower; spray the person with cool water from a garden hose; sponge the per-son with cool water; or if the humidity is low, wrap the person in a cool, wet sheet and fan him or her vigorously.

Monitor body tem-perature and continue

cooling efforts until the body temperature drops to 101°–102°F

If emergency medi-

cal personnel are delayed, call the hospi-tal emergency room for further instructions.

Do not give the per-son alcohol to drink.

Get medical assis-tance as soon as pos-sible.

A battery is a battery is a battery- correct? Not for hearing aids!By Lindsay Satchell

So you have decid-ed to get hearing aids and with the help of your competent hear-ing health care provid-er, you have decided on a style. That’s great!

But just like your car or truck needs, oil changes and mainte-nance and your horse needs shoeing, a hear-ing aid needs care and maintenance to pro-vide you with quality of life improvements for hearing.

One of the largest costs associated with hearing aids is battery use. There are basically four sizes of hearing aid batteries ranging from the smallest (size # 10- with 2-4 Days of life) to the largest # 675 with approx. 21 days of life. If you have small ear canals and are getting a small CIC (completely in the canal) aid you may have no choice except to get the smaller bat-tery.

You should keep in mind that this will increase your yearly costs with aids and can be somewhat annoy-ing since these batter-ies require frequent changes.

You can save your-self money by opening the hearing aid bat-tery doors at night and keeping your hearing aids free from moisture which increases bat-tery use, by opting to purchase a hearing aid drier ranging in price

from $22 for a basic jar option to $200 for a sterilizer/ drier combo. A very easy to use and functional electric drier with vir-tually no maintenance can be purchased for under $100.00. Some companies are also offering rechargeable batteries and recharg-ing units which can also save money.

Hearing aid bat-teries may look like watch batteries but their chemical makeup is far different. They are called Zinc-Air and come with a small tap covering tiny air holes on the battery. Once this tab is pulled and air inters the battery, the battery is drain-ing. Even if the tab is put back over the holes quickly, the bat-tery is still draining and will die so never

remove the tab until you are ready to use the battery right away! This is why a hearing aid may have a live battery when last used but the battery will be inoperative when next inserted into the ear. Unlike a flash light battery which begins to get dimmer and

dimmer as it weakens until the flashlight no longer works, hearing aid batteries operate at 100% and then gen-erally go down close to zero power very quickly!

Here are a few quick tips related to hearing aid batteries

If you are not plan-ning on using your hearing aids for an extended period of time remove the bat-teries completely from hearing aids

To protect hear-ing aid batteries from discharging, keep them away from metal objects such as coins and keys

Avoid storing hear-

ing aid batteries in extreme temperatures (in car glove boxes or freezer). Batteries should be stored at room temperatures out of direct sunlight

Wash your hands before changing your batteries as dirt and oils will contaminate the battery and may damage your hearing aid

Remove dead bat-teries from hearing aids immediately as they can swell, begin to corrode and become difficult to remove from aid or damage aid electronics

Match the (+) of the battery to the (+) of the aid door

Keep batteries safe-ly out of the reach of children and pets and away from medi-cations to reduce the risk of accidentally swallowing of batteries

Always carry spare batteries to replace them as needed.

With a little care you can get the most out of your hearing aid batteries and your hearing aids and you can experience a qual-ity of life improvement which only hearing aid can provide!

Enjoying the benefits of the Cariboo sunCameron Johnston,Pastor and Lifestyle Consultant

Everyone enjoys sunshine and we look forward to summer when the sun has more heat and improves our moods. Today, the benefits of sunshine is often overshadowed and not fully appreci-ated because of fears that are both real and

imagined.It is well known

that too much expo-sure to direct sunlight especially in the mid-dle of the day without proper protection does put us at risk of sun-burn which damages skin cells and blood vessels. Repeated sun damage causes the skin to look dry, wrinkled, discolored, and leath-

ery which can increase the risk of developing skin cancer.

These dangers can largely be avoided when sunbathing or work-ing out in the sun for long periods by use of good sunscreen protec-tion or wearing proper clothing. However, one could get the impres-sion, mainly from advertising that every

exposure to the sun is dangerous and a person could conclude that it is best to never have exposure to the sun.

In reality, moder-ate exposure is safe and very beneficial to good health. Dr. Oz recently encouraged his television view-ers to sit out in the sun for 15 minutes a day without sunscreen in order to receive the benefits of sun expo-sure. Researchers and doctors are now begin-ning to appreciate some of the ways that the sun

can actually be good for you. It is unlikely that 30 to 60 minutes a day would be harmful and would bring more benefits than risks.

Here are a few rea-sons why getting out in the sun is good for you. Exposure to sun-shine helps you get an adequate supply of Vitamin D which promotes bone health, boosts immune func-tion, reduces inflam-mation, improves neuro-muscular func-tion and even protects against some forms of

cancer. Sun exposure helps

you produce more serotonin, endorphins, and melatonin in your brain. These natural chemicals are linked with feeling good and helping you sleep bet-ter.

Experts have also found that the sun helps you produce more white blood cells, which enhances immunity and more red blood cells which means more oxygen in your blood, thus more energy.

Sunlight, a natu-ral antiseptic, actually kills viruses, bacteria, molds, yeast and fungi that may be found on your skin or in our homes. So open up the windows and let the sunshine in and disin-fect your home.

Like all natural health resources sun exposure in moderation is very beneficial. Use good judgment and balance and get out this summer, fall, winter, spring and enjoy some good Cariboo sunshine every day you can.

Win GoodingMember of the O.A.P.O. Branch 93Senior Activity Centre

Summer cer-tainly came in with a royal bang this year. Through a more ter-rifying experience of thunder, lightening and torrential down-pour of hail and rain. It sure did a number of flattening my flowers and the local gardens in the area. Let's hope that July will bring us some relief and sun-shine before summer is over.

Seniors and per-sons interested in the B.C. Old Age Pensioners Convention in the Princeton/Similkameen Branch of the OAPO on June 11-13 was very well attend with 12 B.C. OAPO board mem-bers, 40 delegates and 32 non-voting visitors. Jennifer Coleman was selected as President for 2 years as well as Betty Bolton, Secretary and Marg Seward on Finance.

Keynote speakers on Tuesday, Alice Edge, Member of Council

of Senior Citizens Organisation COSCO, spoke on Addiction of Seniors regarding abuse of alcohol and misuse of prescription drugs and gambling addic-tion and treatment of these abuses. A work-shop was held later.

On Wednesday speaker Sylvia Phifer of COSCO gave work-shops on Pensions, Tax Options and Involuntary Separation of Seniors. A form ISO-1811 for involun-tary separation is avail-able at the local Service Canada office. In the afternoon guest speaker, Dr. Mary Ann Murphy from the Gerontology Department of University of B.C. She empathized how important it is to have well trained nurses tak-ing care of the aging population in our hos-pitals and care facilities.

Each year our local OAPO Branch 93 provides a bursary to a local student taking training in the field of Gerontology Nursing.

Next year the local branch of the OAPO Branch 93 will host the

BC OAP Convention in June 2014. In 2014 the local OAPO Branch 93 will celebrate its 40th year.

This years conven-tion in Princeton/Similkameen was great and our delegates came away with a let-ter of understanding of how important it is to attend these conven-tions and represent our OAPO Branch 93 for our local community as a whole. There will be no monthly meet-ings for the OAPO Branch 93 in July and August. The next meet-ing will be on Thursday September 12, at 2pm at the Seniors Centre. New members are always welcome to attend so hope to see some new faces at the September meeting.

Please note that the Seniors Centre will be closed for 2 weeks in mid-August. The vol-unteers need a much deserved rest.

Until next time remember; our lives begin to end when we remain silent on issues that really matter. - Martin Luther King.
