CAPSULE COMMENTSSafeway

With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)As we age, our skin changes. It gets thinner, bruises easier and can become quite dry. To slow down skin aging, sun sensibly, don’t smoke and keep hydrated.

The type of toothbrush you use is not as important and HOW you use it. Some people prefer the electric toothbrush because some have a timer that forces brushing for at least 30 seconds per quadrant. Others prefer the manual brush which can be fine if it’s used properly. It’s important to get the brush close to the gums to remove all the plaque from the gum line.

When you start on a blood pressure-reducing pill for the first time, you may experience light-headedness, extra urination or fatigue. Don’t stop taking the drug. Side effects do lessen with time so stick to it.

Many drug products have moved from “prescription only” to “over the counter”. It wasn’t that long ago you could not buy ibuprofen (for pain and inflammation) or ranitidine (for heartburn) without a prescription. But just because they don’t need a prescription, you should get some professional advice before using them. Our pharmacists can supply that information.

Our pharmacists’ principal role is not “counting pills” as so many TV stories about pharmacists show. It’s education. We spend the majority of our day talking to doctors and nurses and of course, you, our customers. We enjoy that job. Let our knowledge increase your knowledge about medications.

NEWS REMEMBERTO RECYCLE

Gold Pan residents will benefit from Phase 2 of West Quesnel Land Stability project thanks to joint funding from the governments of Canada and British Columbia through the Small Communities Fund.

Quesnel will use the funding to stabilize about 240 hectares of the Uplands area in West Quesnel through the installation of subsurface dewatering and drainage infrastructure. Ground movements are causing physical damage to homes, buildings, and buried infrastructure, resulting in expensive repairs and safety concerns. When completed, the community and local property owners will be less vulnerable to the risks and impacts of the unstable land in the area.

“This next phase of the Quesnel Land Stability project will continue to build on the dewatering and drainage infrastructure that has already been constructed in our community,” MLA Coralee Oakes said.

“This will lessen the impact and damage resulting from ground shifts and will better protect private and public properties. This significant infrastructure project will help provide peace of mind to local residents. I commend Mayor Bob Simpson and council for their leadership and commitment to this project.”

The project announced Friday is among 55 recently approved in British Columbia that will collectively receive more than $128 million in joint federal-provincial funding under the Small Communities Fund. These projects represent important investments in municipal infrastructure that maintain safe, healthy communities. Once complete, the work will significantly improve key

municipal services for residents and help boost regional development.

“The City of Quesnel appreciates the governments of Canada and British Columbia matching our $2.3 million investment in our Westside,” mayor Bob Simpson said.

“This investment will enable us to continue our work on stabilizing the slide area that impacts 750 homes in West Quesnel by capturing and redirecting both the surface and sub-surface water which create the slide conditions. This is a significant and welcome investment in our community.”

Through the Small Communities Fund, the governments of Canada and British Columbia are working in partnership to provide funding for priority public infrastructure projects that deliver on local needs in communities across the province that have fewer than 100,000 residents. These investments support job creation and economic growth, thus sustaining a high quality of life in small communities across British Columbia for years to come.

Quick facts• The Government

of Canada will provide up to $2,425,051 through the Small Communities Fund for the project.

• The Province of British Columbia will contribute up to $2,425,051 to this project.

• The community will be responsible for all remaining costs of the project.

• The total estimated cost for this project is $7,275,155.

• The 55 projects approved for funding in British Columbia under the Small Communities Fund so far include 24 drinking water projects, 22 wastewater projects, four major roads projects, two disaster mitigation projects,

two brownfield remediation projects and one solid waste management project.

“We are proud to invest in projects like Phase 2 of West Quesnel’s Land Stability project that will benefit our community by improving

much needed local infrastructure,” Cariboo Prince George MP Dick Harris said.

“Our Government’s commitment to municipalities, big and small, has never been stronger. Through the New Building

Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund, we are investing in priority infrastructure projects that have a positive and lasting impact on the quality of life of British Columbia’s residents while helping create jobs and economic growth.”

Aug. 8 and Aug. 9 at the Quesnel Museum is hosting an encampment of the Royal Engineers and Associates Living History Group in LeBourdais Park.

They are an informal group of history enthusiasts, dedicated to keeping alive the memory of the Royal Engineers and a period of history when the province of British Columbia was in a formative stage.

Using period clothing and equipment, they bring alive the daily life of the late 1850s and early 1860s. Each member researches and takes on the character of a real historic person, demonstrating the skills they would have needed to survive in the colony of British Columbia 150 years ago, sharing the gossip of the Cariboo Road and amusing themselves with the songs, stories and games of the time.

Their members come from Vancouver Island, lower mainland and Washington State and include Judy Anderson of Quesnel. They have performed at Fort Langley and Rodd Hill National Historic Sites, Barkerville Historic Town and San Juan Island National Historic Park. This is the first time that they have camped in Quesnel.

Ten to twelve members of the group are expected to arrive Thursday night so that they can set up their camp and be ready to receive visitors by 9 am Friday morning. Visitors can tour through the camp and interact with the time travellers, who will be happy to explain their current task, and the equipment they are using.

Spinning, weaving and rope-making are among the craft skills that will be demonstrated. Judy Anderson is an accomplished seamstress and will have examples of period clothing

available for inspection and, if you are lucky enough to fit, to try on. Another of the reenactors specializes in First Nations History and is a skilled storyteller. Very little is scripted or scheduled, so if you show an interest you are liable to be treated to an impromptu concert or challenged to a game of quoits (ring toss) or croquet.

There are just a few scheduled events. Brandee Schutz from the Quesnel Museum will be leading a tour of the Quesnel Pioneer Cemetery for the entertainment of the “off duty” Royal Engineers at 7 p.m. on Friday evening. Members of the public are welcome to join them.

Meet at the Carson St. entrance to the cemetery. Donations would be greatly appreciated and printed guide books cost $1 and $2. Afternoon tea will be served on Saturday afternoon between 2 and 4 pm at a cost of $5 per person. There will be no charge to enter the Royal Engineers Camp and participate in the activities. The Museum and Heritage commission will have a donation box out and will greatly appreciate any contributions to help offset the cost of this event.

They also suggest that you visit the well- stocked Museum gift shop, explaining that any profits from the gift shop are placed in a museum reserve to help finance museum improvements, special programs and new exhibits.

The Royal Engineers and Associates were invited to Quesnel to help celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the completion of the Cariboo Wagon Road. The last sections of the road from Soda Creek to Quesnel and from Cottonwood to Barkerville were commissioned and built in 1865. (The stretch between Soda Creek and Quesnel

had initially been covered only by sternwheeler.)

The Royal Engineers played an important role in the founding of the City of Quesnel. Lieutenant Palmer explored a number of possible routes to the Cariboo Gold Fields and recommended, what was called the “Western” Fraser River Route, which passed through Alexandria and the mouth of the Quesnel River. Colonel Moody selected this route, issued tenders for the construction of the road and sent Sergeant William McColl to Quesnel to reserve land for a town site. McColl completed his survey, laying out lots of one chain by two chains, from June 3 to June 22nd 1863. The first lot was sold in August and the community grew rapidly for several years.

The Royal Engineers and Associates will pack up Saturday night at 6 pm and continue their journey down the Cariboo Wagon Road to camp at Barkerville for the remainder of the weekend.

The Quesnel Museum and Heritage Commission and Friends of the Museum appreciates the groups contribution to ensuring that a vital period of B.C. history is kept alive and gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign.

Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training.

Harper’s Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year.

“Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec.

“Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.”

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners.

Green Party leader Elizabeth

May began the campaign in her home riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands.

Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels.

The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates.

Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean’s magazine.

Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada’s role in the international military action against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

Harper renewed Canada’s commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before calling the election.

Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bombing of Islamic State positions. Mulcair would withdraw all military personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping military trainers in place, with both promising increased humanitarian aid.

Published by Black Press Ltd. 188 Carson Avenue Quesnel, BC, V2J 2A8OPINIONS


Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there

are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said.

“But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead.

The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when

they voted to oppose the project in May.

Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s

agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in.

And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fabrication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane,

president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry.

Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

Prospects for B.C.’s biggest investment

B.C. ViewsTom Fletcher

Voter fatigue

While you are reading the newspaper this morning, it’s likely that

federal politicians have already hit the hustings.Prime Minister Stephen Harper

was expected this weekend to dissolve Parliament, triggering an election although Canadians won’t head to the polls until the fixed date of Oct. 19.Now this is somewhat surprising

given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign.The question then is why is

Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and backyard barbecues and aren’t interested in what happens in Ottawa?The answer isn’t particularly

clear but obviously Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks.But there is also a danger in

launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue.Increasingly, Canadians are

tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics — attack, attack, attack, with very few concrete solutions to major issues coming to the table.After 78 days of negative ads

from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise.What will that do to voter

turnout?–BP

Editor:The Canadian political system has

experienced an incredible shift of political power – away from the people – to the back rooms of the Prime Minister’s Office.

In eight short years Harper has gutted the federal MPs of every ounce of political power that belonged to them.

He has achieved this simply by taking control of the Conservative Party’s nomination process: Harper will sign your nomination papers, in return for absolute control of your vote in the House of Commons.

There is no longer any meaningful debate on proposed legislation, and budgets are no longer presented and debated before adoption, they are ‘bundled’ with dozens of other pieces of legislation and amendments, rammed through Parliament by our elected MPs under severe duress. Harper has certainly delivered on this promise: “You won’t recognize Canada when I’m done with it”, but he has made a huge strategic error: He turned his back on the very people he needs to be able to manipulate all that political muzzle.

He fired his right hand man, Nigel Wright, who went out of his way and spent ninety thousand dollars of his own money, trying to clean up after Michael Duffy.

Then he abandoned Senators Michael Duffy and Pamela Wallin, who both were travelling the country and in good faith working their hearts out, campaigning for Harper and the Conservative party.

Cabinet Ministers and MPs are now leaving him like rats leaving a sinking ship, while our federal government has become a one man show, vulnerable to Harper’s random ambitions.

Thank you for the honourEditor:Open letter to BBDays Society members.Congratulations on another successful Billy

Barker Days. Thank you so much for the hon-our of naming myself honourary parade mar-shal. I will treasure this unexpected tribute for the rest of my days. Of course I shared this news with all of my children, none of whom live in Quesnel.

Huge compliments to the actual parade mar-shal, Lynn Wright. I understand it was one of the longest ever. Lynn was courteous and respectful in her interactions with myself. All other volun-teers on this committee made the job enjoyable. The crowds watching were most receptive and a joy to respond to their well wishes.

Topping off the celebration I enjoyed the Fer-ris wheel ride, which I shared annually with my husband. Now, in his memory one of my chil-dren provide the treat.

Thank you for all the duties your society carry on throughout the year. Your organization con-tinues to make this such a livable and caring family community.

The Quesnel Pipes and Drums placed third at the Kamloops Highland Games on July 11 and were happy with their performance.

This is the third time that the band has competed in Kamloops and the band placed third last year, as well. The bands that competed were from Kamloops, Burnaby and a band comprised of students from the Piping Hot Summer Drummer band camp held every July in Vernon. Some of

our band members competed individually with excellent placings, such as Judy Campbell, Lisa McCargar and Roger Williamson.

It’s a thrill to compete in Kamloops as the judges are amongst some of the most renowned and well-established pipers and drummers in the world.

“The judges are world class performers and part of their mandate is to provide constructive, positive feedback on your performance,”

Quesnel pipe major Lisa McCargar said.

“There is truly nothing like getting up in front of a judge to perform. It tests you in ways that you can’t imagine until you’ve done it.”

Another treat, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band performed and competed at these games, who just happen to be six-time World Champions.

The Quesnel Pipes and Drums are celebrating their 62nd anniversary this year.

The Quesnel Gold Course was home to the Junior Open recently. Our two leaders were tied, so we had an excit-ing ‘chip’ off where Cole Henderson and Ryan Murray had to pitch onto the 9th green from the clubhouse with the closest shot winning. Cole Henderson hit the winning shot. Here are the following results for the 3 divisions:Division 1:Low Gross 1st Place – Cole Henderson2nd Ryan Murray3rd Brantin Blacklaw4th Brady Beaudry5th Brody McCarthy Division 2: 9 Hole Play1st Jackson Heinzelman2nd Malachi Betts3rd Sebastien Arscott4th Devyn MacDonald5th Liam MacDonald Division 3: 6 Hole Play1st Khya Aulakh2nd Lauren Delwisch3rd Gavin McDevitt4th Jaden Musselman5th Elliot Delugos It was so great to have the support of the com-munity.

Fore


August 2 - 8, 2015ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20It almost seems as if something is working against you this week, Aries. It could just be your overactive imagination. Channel your energy into a creative project.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21You may get swept away in some lifelike dreams this week, Taurus. It may be difficult to discern when you’re awake or asleep. Don’t get carried away.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21Gemini, a professional predicament may have you feeling as if you have been run ragged. Regroup, even if it means taking a few days off. This time away is just the remedy you need.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22It’s nearly impossible to stick to your schedule this week, Cancer. Too many things will pop up, and you’ll be spending your time juggling multiple responsibilities.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, your imagination may push you in the wrong direction this week. Daydreaming instead of get-ting things done is risky. Focus on the tasks at hand.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, your coworkers will come through in a big way this week. Make the most of this opportuni-ties to work together as a team, and it will pay dividends going forward.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, a little daydreaming can be good for the soul. Give daydreams their due time, but remember to refocus on real life as well. You’re up to a chal-lenge you face this week.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, your schedule is about to clear up so now is a great time to take some time off. You deserve a break after buckling down for so long. Relax and enjoy yourself.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21You know what needs to be done, Sagittarius. You may not have enough manpower to get everything accomplished, so put out a few feelers to see who is up to helping.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, continue with your consistent approach to handling your many responsibilities. You’re jug-gling a lot these days, and you’re benefitting from your work ethic.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, adhere to your original plan this week, avoiding distraction until the tasks at hand are a distant memory. Your plan is reliable and sure to work.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20It’s nearly impossible to hide your emotions right now, Pisces. So why not share them and get some support from friends and family?

Logan Pontius Barlow 4H Club

Hello, I am Logan Pontius. I am 7 years old and I am a Cloverbud in the Barlow Creek 4-H Club. I like being a Cloverbud with my friends. We play and go see the other projects in 4-H. Like everybody came to my house to see my big brother’s and sister’s swine projects. I like having my friends at my house. We are going to ride our bikes on a track and see the dog class tomorrow. I am excited. I really like making puppets and going to the Club Swim. Come see my projects at the Cloverbud tent at Achievement Weekend, Aug. 13 – 15.

Lucy PontiusBarlow 4H ClubHello, my name is Lucy Pontius. I belong to the Barlow Creek 4-H Club. I do the Dog project with my dog Rue. She is a little girl, but she has a white beard that makes her look like an old man. We have done the dog project two years now. It was hard for me to train her last year. She was scared in some of the places we went for training, and I felt like we had to be perfect. 4-H has taught me that learning is fun and it is ok to make mistakes. I like how close I feel to Rue because we set goals together and achieved them. I look forward to showing her at Achievement Weekend on August 13th & 14th, and on the 15th I will be bringing my Market Swine to the auction. Last year I got Grand Champion in showmanship with my Market Swine. It felt really good. Last and definitely not least, I love my horse Cashew. I am hoping to be able to show him at Achievement Weekend this year. He is very gentle and I love to work with him and learn how to take care of him through doing the horse unit.

Sterling AlookBarlow 4H ClubMy name is Sterling Alook and I am the Secretary for the Barlow Creek 4H Club. This is my first year in 4H and I am working on Unit 1 of Mechanics. I am learning about 2 and 4 stroke engines. For my project I had to rebuild the engine of a lawn mower, it is a 4 stroke. I enjoyed taking the engine all a part and was very proud when I fixed it and the lawn mower was running again! The thing I like best about 4H is the other kids. They are a lot of fun and are always friendly. They welcomed me in and made me part of everything right away. I am looking forward to Achievement Weekend in August. It will be fun to see everyone’s projects and get to hangout together for 5 or 6 days!I plan on staying in 4H for awhile, whatever we do we always have fun… So far this year I have done a demonstration on how to make “Milk Stone”, participated in a couple Judging Rallies, helped out with Beef on a Bun and our Billy Barker Days booth on Kids’ Day in the Park. Next year I want to do an-other Mechanics Unit and do Bicycle Repair and/or Outdoor Living. For this year, one project was enough. Maybe I will try a Dog Project one year too.PS. I joined 4H because my parents thought it would be a great experience for me. They said I would have fun and gain some good life skills. I’m happy I gave it a try.

West Park Mall - 155 Malcolm Drive

Overwaitea Food Group is celebrating its 100th Anniversary and showing their history at stores across BC.

This traveling road show will be arriving in Quesnel on Monday, August 10!Stop by Save On Foods from noon to 4 pm for the interactive display

located in the parking lot. Spin the wheel for prizes and much more!

Warm-weather gatherings are a perfect way to spend time with family and friends. Follow these four simple tips for a perfect, stress-free summer soiree that both you and your guests will enjoy.

Pick a theme

Start by choosing a theme for your summer celebra-tion. A defined focus will allow you to quickly narrow menu and décor selections. Easy ideas include seasonally inspired concepts, like Christmas in July; location-spe-cific parties, such as a Hawaiian luau; and era themes, like the Roaring Twenties.

Select the perfect kitchen sidekick

When preparing your menu, an essential kitchen part-ner is a high-performance blender that does all the work for you. The Vitamix Professional Series 750 reduces prep time and cleanup and allows you to create a variety of delicious recipes. Easily chop ingredients for gazpa-chos, salsas and coleslaws; achieve a smooth texture for hummus and spreads; emulsify vinaigrettes and mari-nades; and blend up frothy frozen beverages.

Streamline your menu

Consider whipping up a large batch of appetizers, such as guacamole, a yogurt-based vegetable dip or a cold soup. Make a style statement by serving them in glass

shooters with veggies or pita bread for perfectly sized servings. For dessert, opt for seasonal ingredients, such as sliced fruits paired with shortcake on skewers, which can be assembled prior to your party. Sorbets are also simple to make in a blender with only a few ingredi-ents—fruit, ice and an optional sweetener such as honey or maple syrup. By choosing recipes that are easy to pre-pare, you’ll have more time to mix and mingle.

Make beverages a breeze

Ensure your guests have easy access to drinks by set-ting up a station with pre-mixed beverages in large dis-pensers. Mixtures of lemonades or flavor-infused waters are perfect for keeping cool on a warm day. For a more unique approach, let guests personalize their drinks with flavored simple syrups, frozen fruits and herb ice cubes—a great way to add a refreshing twist.

Stress-free Summer Entertaining Ideas

Summer at its Best


Healthy pets need a combination of wet and dry foodA healthy diet means a healthy

life – even for the furry members of the family. Yet many pet owners are not giving their animals the optimal diet.

According to a recent Nielsen sur-vey, 40 per cent of cat owners and 66 per cent of dog owners feed their pet a diet that consists exclusively of dry food since many of those re-spondents believe that wet food is a high-calorie treat. While both types of food are nutritionally complete and balanced, a regular diet of dry and wet food for dogs and cats is the best way to keep them healthy. Each offers unique complementary health bene� ts.

Dry food is a concentrated energy source with a crunchy texture that helps maintain your pet’s oral health. Wet food, on the other hand, has a high moisture content that helps support a healthy urinary tract and proper organ function. This is especially important for

smaller animals that are more prone to urinary tract infections. Despite popular belief, some wet food is lower in calories than dry food on a gram for gram basis and regular consumption can help maintain a healthy body weight by offering optimal protein and lower carbohy-drates.

There is no wrong way to mix feed. To determine the ideal ratio of dry food to wet food consult your veterinarian. Owners can easily in-troduce a new type of food by mix-ing the two foods in the same bowl, starting with a low ratio of the new food to the accustomed food, or by feeding their pet small handfuls of the new food throughout the day.

Flavour is an important part of mealtime for both dogs and cats. Not only is mixed feeding great for pets’ physical health, owners love watching their excitement at meal time.

How to keep pets safe during the dog days of summerFor pet owners, warm weather means quality time

outside with their four-legged friends. Due to the heat and humidity, summer can also bring health risks that are important to consider. As we approach the warmest weeks of the season, the Ontario Vet-erinary Medical Association (OVMA) suggests the following tips so you can keep your pets healthy and happy:

• Taking your canine for a ride can be fun for dogs and owners alike, but a parked car can overheat quickly. Even after a few minutes of sun exposure, the temperature inside a car can reach close to 50°C, which can pose a serious health risk to your pet.

• More time outside can mean an increased risk of encountering parasites. Be proactive and talk to your veterinarian to � nd out how best to fend off � eas, ticks and other pests. Heartworm disease, in par-ticular, can cause signi� cant damage if not detected early.

• Even though they may be covered in fur, pets are susceptible to the sun’s damaging UV rays. Talk to your veterinarian to learn about specially-formulat-ed sunblock for pets to keep them safe and comfort-able.

• Just as we like to enjoy a cool beverage on a hot day, so do our animals. Make sure your pets are hydrated at all times by offering them fresh, cool water regularly.

• No matter whether you live in a rural area, spend time at the cottage, or plan to camp outdoors, it’s important to be aware of wildlife. Some wild ani-mals may feel threatened by pets and cause them se-rious harm. Keep a close eye on your pet and always keep them on a leash in public areas.

• If you plan on travelling with your pet, be sure to book an appointment with your veterinarian to ensure it is travel-healthy and equipped for a trip, regardless of distance.
