RCMP issue river safety reminders in wake of recent incidents
Prince George 2024-07-11 09:08 PDT
As the sunny, hot weather shows no signs of cooling down, Prince George RCMP is issuing some water-safety reminders for those who may wish to take the opportunity to cool off by floating down one of our rivers.
These reminders come in the wake of two recent incidents that local Mounties and other first responders have attended where river rafters have become stranded, in one instance with fatal consequences. Most recently, a family of eight was stranded overnight when their tubes became damaged during a river float.\
Rivers are unpredictable and can contain faster currents or debris that you can’t see from a tube or raft. We also need to remember that our waters stay cold, even in this heat, and this can lead to trouble swimming if you’re exposed for a long period of time, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Here are some tips to help keep yourself safe on our rivers during the heat:
Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back.
Avoid going anywhere alone.
Make sure everyone in your party is wearing a personal floatation device.
Speak to people in the community who have used the rivers before and know them well.
Carry required safety equipment.
Make sure to have food and water with you in case you are stranded or are out for longer than you anticipate.
You can visit the Canadian Red Cross and AdventureSmart for more information on staying safe around the water this summer.

TAURUS
(Apr. 21-May 20)
Something on a personal level could take a surprising turn for the better, making you realise that what you might have had to say in the past has been taken into account more than you presumed. The important thing is not to compromise when it comes to your own essential priorities. It is the only way youcanmoveforward.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
If you want to change any commitments with somebody else you could discover that it will not go down well at all. This might surprise you if you have been generous in the past but rather than confront this it would be better to withdraw from too much conversation. Make it known this will be definite and continue down that path.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
Someone else could be surprising, even unpredictable. This is more likely to be in relation to endings rather than new beginnings. It may make you realise that what you expected has not been entirely realistic. You need to put your mind to the commitments you have in your own life and what you can control in your own way.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
This is a good time to put final touches onto anything you have been working on restructuring since early June. Much has been reliant on you maintaining your level of determination. Someone else could share your vision of what is important to accomplish in the long term. You can realise that normal routines may need to alter as a result.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
Underlying frustration or impatience could tempt you to push something when the time is not yet right. Either discussions or the level of information required have not yet reached a stage of proper clarity. You can be tempted to take a risk anyway and this could work to a certain extent but biding your time for now is much better.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
You could realise a better way to pursue things in the future which might include better use of technology that is now available. There can be those who are in favour and those who are not. In the end it has to be up to what is important to you. There is no need to rush any decisions. You can contemplate matters for a while yet.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
Knowing exactly where you stand with somebody else can be difficult especially if they do something you didn’t see coming. The main thing is that you don’t make yourself too available to their needs. You are better putting your energies into sorting a regular routine that will enable you to keep things on track in your own life.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
Support from friends or from a group of people on either a personal or work level could be quite a surprise to you. They could be more interested than you presumed when it comes to your view of the long term and perhaps what is possible to develop. There can be those who would bring you down but you should be able to work out who they might be.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct.22)
You will not lack confidence when it comes to expressing what you think is important, especially if you find yourself dealing unexpectedly with someone whose intentions seem rather impulsive. It will be easy for you to recognise the amount of work involved, especially if it will fall on you to be handling the details. Think about yourself.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
Some unexpected pleasures could come your way involving other people and perhaps of a social nature. It might be a juggle to fit this around daily matters that you need to deal with that are likely not insubstantial. It is worth making the effort for these more light hearted opportunities. This will prove to be a welcome break.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Alternative information or ideas that are out of the ordinary could help you achieve something that is important to you more on the level of winding things up. This does not mean you can escape a certain level of personal responsibility and any regular work or routine that goes with it. The main thing is to enjoy what you either do or need to do.
ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Any sudden moves involving finances needs to be towards endings that would then allow you to put a more comforting foundation in place that could put doubts and worries behind you. The opinion of somebody else could be helpful in that they better understand the information that doesn’t reallyinterest you. Be sensible.
Pictured here, are a group of land pre-emptors on the Nechako Valley in 1908..... These men were tough beyond imagining by today's standards. Are these the greatgrandparents of any of our Group members? Perhaps someone will recognize their great-grandfather and give names to these men after all these years. I have sharpened the image to make identifying the faces a little easier...

TRIVIA ANSWERS: 1. New Girl. (Additional trivia tip: one of the conditions of his appearance was that none of the Kardashians be allowed to be featured during the episode.) 2. Rocker Eddie Van Halen. 3. Auguste Rodin is a French sculptor who is known as the "father of modern sculpture." 4. Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a horrific car accident, but never let it stop him from rocking. 5. Grant Wood. Many people believe the painting is of a farmer and his wife, but the subjects are meant to be father and daughter. 6. He began writing the song (which he originally titled "Hey Jules") for John Lennon's son Julien to comfort him during his parents' divorce. 7. The Barenaked Ladies. 8. T-Pain, dressed as "Monster" beat out Donny Osmond ("Peacock") and Gladys Knight ("Bee") to take the trophy. 9. Pablo Picasso. While it's true that he and friend Apollinaire did steal some sculptures from the Louvre, the actual thief of the "Mona Lisa" was ex-Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia.
