THE CORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE OF ASHCROFT

Notice of Public Meeting To present the 2011 Annual Report Monday June 25th, 2012 7:00 pm Village Council Chambers In accordance with Sections 97, 98 and 99 of the Community Charter the Village of Ashcroft Council will publicly present the Village of Ashcroft 2011 Annual Report.

Copies of the Annual Report are available at the Village Office, 601 Bancroft Street during regular office hours or from the Village’s website at: www.ashcroftbc.ca.

June 7 at 8:51 am RCMP received a complaint from an Ashcroft employer who was worried about an employee who hadn’t shown up to work in days and was not answering his telephone. Police attended the man’s home and found the man’s truck in his driveway, but no one answered the door. A house key was obtained and the officer let himself inside. He found the man on the couch under a blanket, asleep. After several attempts to rouse him, the 22 year old man woke up and told the officer he hadn’t been feeling well and had been sleeping a lot.

June 7 a 63 year old Walhachin woman reported that she had lost her wallet while on the HOG Run in Ashcroft on June 2. She thought it had gone missing between 5-8 pm during the banquet at the arena. She immediately cancelled the banking cards. Anyone finding a wallet, purse, etc., should turn it into the RCMP station.

TV and XBox taken June 7 at 6:21 pm a 35 year old man reported a theft from his Ashcroft residence and told police that he suspected his 36 year old exgirlfriend, who had texted him while he was in Kamloops to say that she was at his house. When he returned home later that day, the contents of his house were in a mess and a 19 inch television and an XBox were missing.

The matter is still under investigation.

Clinton applies for community forest license

fits of a Community Forest Agreement.

Harvesting revenue from a community forest provides a source of revenue that can support locally determined objectives and interests such as infrastructure upgrades, trail building, and grants to groups.

The committee, comprised of Daniela Dyck, Village of Clinton Administrator Heidi Frank, Woodlot Manager Robin Fennell, Councillor Wayne Marchant and Registered Professional Forester Steve Law has been working for some time on the proposal.

The proposed Allowable Annual Cut (AAC) for the Community Forest Licence is 20,000m3 per year, the Clinton Creek Watershed is within the proposed boundary Over 40 runners raised approximately $4,000 in pledges for the Ashcroft & District Lions’ 2nd annual of the Community Forest Area Skip’s Memorial Charity Run on June 2 in Ashcroft.

After more than a year of meetings and discussions with the provincial government, the Village of Clinton has been invited to apply for a community forest.

The Clinton Community Forest Committee will be hosting a public forum

July 12 at 7 pm at the Clinton Memorial Hall to explain to residents the benefits of a community forest and to obtain input from the public and other affected stakeholders and explain to the members of the community the social and economic bene-

The nicest way to be remembered

which will also factor in protection and harvesting of the Clinton Creek watershed.

If the license is awarded, a corporation will be formed and run by a board made up of local volunteers.

Some of the benefits of community forestry include: Long-term community economic development resulting in the increased selfreliance of rural communities; Local-level decision making that leads to locally appropriate decisions and improves the incentives to consider the long-term benefits of sustainable management; Increased potential to resolve conflicts over timber harvesting in watersheds and other sensitive areas; Protection of drinking watersheds, viewscapes, and other values that are important to communities and to local and regional economic activity; and Improved awareness of forest management among members of the public.

A community forest can be described as any forestry operation managed by a local government or community group for the benefit of the entire community.

There are currently 39 active community forests in British Columbia.

The Editor’s Desk WENDY COOMBER

Get out of town and see the world It’s Spring time - almost Summer - and we are all thinking about travelling. Going somewhere else.

Whether it’s summer holidays, planning to attend a college or university in the fall, moving to a new community, or not planning to travel at all, it’s exciting just to think about it.

Tool Man and I have made plans to do a bit of travelling this summer, and it will be the first time in years that we’ve done more than drive from point A to point B and back again. I’ll tell you more in a few weeks if I get the chance.

But it got me to thinking about journeys and what they do to us. I’ve met several people over the years who spend their entire lives in the same community they were born into, and they’ve always been very nice people. However, my advice to young people has always been “Go West!” Or, now that I am “west”, I can say “Go East!”

Or North (if you want a good paying job).

The point is, go see something that you’ve never seen before; experience a culture that you’ve never experienced before.

Step out of the “same old same old” comfort zone and stretch yourself, your beliefs and perceptions. Measure yourself against something you never knew existed before and see what you think.

You will never be able to do this if you never leave home, even for two weeks.

And why is this important? Even for the non-adventuous types out there, sooner or later “Life” hands us all an unexpected curve. A crisis that is way outside our comfort zone. It could be the loss of an important job, or the inevitable death of a loved one. Having experience with being outside the comfort zone can come in handy in those situations.

At the very least, it helps us develop good instincts and teaches us to trust ourselves whether we’re in the middle of an emergency or buying a car.

I think of all the field trips we took in school and how exciting they were; and I listen to our cadets excitedly recount their recent trip to Halifax and the east coast and I know those trips have left their valuable, indelible stamps on us all.

BROKEN FENCES UNDER A HEAVY SKY out at the airport

No wellness in herbicides Dear Editor I’ve been seeing these signs posted in Ashcroft: Caution area sprayed with Roundup, contains the active ingredient glyphosate. It’s my understanding that this is poison. Are we still insisting that wellness awaits you in Ashcroft?

If so, what does spraying with poison have to do with promoting health? It does seem like false advertising. But more, it seems like a blatant lie.

Paid deposit isn’t refunded Dear Editor I need to vent! I pay a deposit on my juice bottle (glass) or my gallon water jug or whatever, don’t I?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Yet, when I go to the bottle depot to get a refund because I am trying to be environmentally friendly as well as cognizant of where things go, I cannot get a refund that I paid at the store. Just because they have no label.

Kids peel labels as do adults. So now, when driving about looking at the scenery or going for a picnic, whatever, when I see a bottle without a label, am I going to pick it up? Probably, because that is the type of person I am, but the next guy is going to say ‘not likely’!

Why is it that the government takes and takes?

Puts enviro fees on everything and then when it comes time to return, we are turned away or it costs us? Big Corporation has taken over with recycle and has decided to rule. And then people

Smoke show brings money Dear Editor Though I may agrree with the writers’ comments (Hey Buddy, got a smoke... show?, June 11), the annual smoke show - “Burn Out Contest� brings in considerable revenue to the local economy.

I can only conclude without the annual smoke show, car show and drag racing, the local economy would suffer from boredom.

Cariboo criminals in the age of innocence COMING EVENTS

by Esther Darlington MacDonald Looking at old photographs of Ashcroft when the horse was king and the chariot was a red painted stage coach, or a covered wagon such as seen in western movies crossing the great plains of the American midwest, you have to marvel at the streets of tent roofed cottages, the main street of false front stores, livery stables and blacksmith barns, circa early 20th century. Why? Because the color and character was there, even in the fuzzy sepia-toned pictures of that world gone by without scarcely a whimper.

ing them in. The stage driver forced to throw down the metal box containing gold nuggets, gold dust, cash and mail.

The train robber, Bill Miner, brazenly walking the streets of Ashcroft, inquiring about train schedules at the BX office on Railway. The building is still there, beautifully restored and preserved and worthy of a movie production.

One photograph showing a row of men in bowler hats and work mens’ caps standing at the brass rail of a saloon, spittoon near their boots, the bar counter of walnut, beveled and paneled, - the kind you might see in a painting by the French Impressionist, Manet, the mustached bartenders unsmiling, white aprons, and all too ready to pull off a pint to whomever. Even a suspicious looking swarthy stocky character who’d just muscled in, named Martin Van Buren Rowland. (Bet his mother had better hopes for him).

Rowland had just weeks earlier, robbed a stage near the 150 Mile, took the box with the sack of gold, and rode off through the bush with it. He appears in Ashcroft, starts spending money like some railroad tycoon of a decade earlier. Ashcroft police man, Joe Burr, giving the shady looking Rowland the once-over, and thinking he resembled the Wanted picture.

Joe had earlier, with a posse, scoured the hills and dales for the strong box from the stage. He found it, eventually.

He quickly contacted Chief Constable Hussey of the Provincial Police, and a warrant for Rowland’s arrest was forthcoming. “But we don’t have any evidence,� says Burr. “We’ll find some,� replies Hussey.

And they do. Searching Rowland’s room in the Ashcroft Hotel, they find a .45 revolver under a pillow. The gold from Rowland’s cache is under the bed.

Hussey looks the gold over very carefully, determines it came from many creeks in the Cariboo, not from Scotty Creek, which Rowland’s had claimed. “That creek’s been sifted, scoured and depleted every snitch of gold dust by the Chinese.�

At the assizes in Clinton court house, Rowland is sentenced to five years. And in those days, five years was five years. Not like today, when a lawyer can get your sentence reduced to two-thirds, or less.

And can you imagine a robber named Red Bluff Charlie? Yep. You can’t. Not in little ‘ol Ashcroft. Well, Charlie robbed a stage at the 150 Mile too. (Apparently it was a handy place to rob a stage in those days.) But Charlie only got $45 from that robbery. And, the poor devil got caught the next day!

Unplugged and unglued June 11 at 6:38 pm police received a complaint by a 42 year old Ashcroft man who said his ex-wife was harassing him. He moved out of their home so she could move back in and had disconnected the internet and cable services that were in his name. The 41 year old woman was unhappy with his and they had exchanged phone calls and texts over the matter. They were advised that it was not a police matter.

Not paying attention June 12 at 10:26 am a Traffic Service officer noted a Ford Flex rental passing other vehicles on Hwy 1 coming into Cache Creek, and speeding at

122 kph in the 50 kph zone. The vehicle was pulled over and the 60 year old Coquitlam man said he hadn’t been paying attention to the speed. He was given a ticket for excessive speed and the vehicle was impounded for seven days.

Driving while suspended June 12 at 8:24 pm officers stopped a Jeep Cherokee for a license check in Ashcroft. The driver provided a Drivers License and a name to police, but the officer noted that she appeared very nervous and was shaking. He asked again and she supplied him with her correct name. The 41 year old Ashcroft woman was found to be under suspension and her vehicle was impounded for seven days. She was charged with driving while under suspension and could possibly be facing a charge for supplying a false name.

When I use the word “naivete� about robberies of yesteryear, it is because of what seems in this day and age, the sheer stupidity of the criminals of that era. The reader will probably agree that, despite the use of firearms then, as now, there was a certain simplistic innocence about them all.

Rittinger returns to WolfPack Soccer The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer team will enter the 2012 PACWEST team as the defending champions. Bad news for the opposition, the WolfPack will look a whole lot stronger.

Thompson Rivers, who lost only one player (Ashley Piggot, Prince George, BC) due to graduation, has signed a number of top recruits, the latest being midfielder/striker Marlie Rittinger (Ashcroft, BC). Rittinger, who played her minor soccer in Kamloops is returning home after “red shirting� in 2011-12 with Simon Fraser University. “I?m very excited to be home and to play before my friends and family on a regular basis,� said the 5’7� Rittinger, considered by many to be the top player in her age class in the BC Interior. “I went away last year and it wasn?t what I expected. I can’t wait to play for TRU - it’s a place I wanted to go to school and play for since I was young.�

Head Coach Tom McManus has had Rittinger on his radar for the last few years as she came up through the ranks of KYSA. “Realistically, she is a player who can go any-

where,� he said. “She can play at the back and do a wonderful job. She plays midfield and even up front and score some beautiful goals. I, personally, see her as a strong midfielder who likes to get herself forward and is great defensively.

I am debating where I want to play her in the midfield.�

He adds that her decision to come to TRU fits in nicely with his dilemma of how to fill that open spot in the midfield that Piggot vacated. “All the girls know that they have to work hard when they come back in because we have a lot of really good players coming in. The girls from Kamloops (Rittinger becomes the sixth local player to commit to the ‘Pack for 2012) will do a good job.�

Rittinger played minor soccer with current WolfPack players Katie Sparrow, Taylor Miller and Sara Fertile. All three were once ball-girls at WolfPack matches while playing REP soccer.

McManus sees her strong suit being as a leader. “She is very fit and vocal. She will tell people what she wants done and tells them what they should be doing. She is great in the air and passes a brilliant ball. She has a superb shot. To

me, she is a great all-around player. We wanted to have her last year, but she had committed to SFU.�

Rittinger is happy to be playing the WolfPack’s possession style soccer. “I was playing a different style with SFU and it wasn?t what I was used to. I think my connection with the rest of the girls will help with the adjustment to Thompson Rivers.�

She is playing summer soccer in the Pacific Coast Soccer League with the Kamloops Heat, where many of her former minor soccer and future WolfPack teammates are preparing for the upcoming collegiate season.

Rittinger will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in her first year at TRU. “I want to get back into the flow of things and then hopefully go into the Nursing program.�

She is looking forward to making an immediate impact with the WolfPack come September. “I hope we can go to the Provincials and go to the Nationals.�

The WolfPack open their 2012 PACWEST season Saturday, Sept. 8 at Hillside Stadium against Douglas College.

New program helps seniors, people with disabilities modify homes Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home?

BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps lowincome B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modiďŹ cations that will allow them to continue living at home.

Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for ďŹ nancial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe.

occurs •Decrease the ability to transmit the disease to other animals Certain vaccines are considered “CORE” vaccines because the diseases they help to protect against are highly contagious, have a high morbidity rate or are lethal in unvaccinated animals.

Core Canine Vaccines: 1)Distemper, Adenovirus, and Parvovirus (DA2P) Initial puppy vaccines consist of three shots at 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age. It is important that puppies not come into contact with other dogs of unknown vaccination status until after they have received their final booster shot at 16 weeks because their level of immunity may be insufficient to protect them from these viruses. The vaccine is then boostered one year later and is then given once every one to three years depending on an individual risk assessment by your veterinarian. This vaccine protects against the following diseases: Canine Distemper: Initially causes a fever and mild respiratory disease that can be complicated by secondary bacterial infection of the upper respiratory tract. The disease can progress to severe respiratory disease, gastrointestinal manifestation and neurological symptoms such as uncontrolled muscle twitching and seizures. Even with appropriate treatment some dogs fail to make a satisfactory recovery.

Infectious Canine Hepatitis: Caused by Canine Adenovirus 1 (CAV- 1) (related to Canine Adenovirus 2 which causes upper respiratory infection). CAV 1 is a highly contagious virus which can cause symptoms ranging from mild fever to organ failure bleeding and death. Spread via urine, feces or saliva of infected dogs the virus can be shed for up to six months from previously infected animals.

Para influenza Virus: Cause of upper respiratory disease that often leads to secondary bacterial infection of the respiratory system. Signs range from ocular and nasal discharge to sneezing, coughing and difficulty breathing.

Parvovirus Enteritis: The virus targets the cells that line the small intestine leading to blood vomiting and diarrhea and resulting in extreme lethargy, depression and in many cases death if left untreated. Highly contagious and patients deteriorate quickly from onset of clinical signs.

2) Rabies Rabies is a devastating fatal disease that is not treatable once clinical signs of the disease are present. Rabies is fully preventable by adequate vaccination against the disease.

Puppies can receive their first rabies shot at 12-16 weeks of age. The vaccine is boostered one year later. Immunity against the rabies virus is then maintained with a booster shot given every three years.

•Bat proof your home or cabin by keeping doors and windows closed and covered with screens •Avoid areas where bats are known to congregate such as caves, abandoned outbuildings etc.

•Avoid contact with wildlife •Vaccinate your pets regularly against rabies virus If you are bitten by a bat thoroughly wash the wound with soapy water and rinse with plenty of fresh clean water. Seek medical treatment immediately.

Non-Core Canine Vaccines: Need a yearly booster shot to maintain immunity 1) Kennel Cough: Canine infectious tracheitis “kennel cough” is a highly contagious disease that is caused by viral (canine influenza and canine adenovirus 2) and bacterial (Bordatella bronchiseptica) pathogens. Most commercial dog kennels require your dog to be up to date on this vaccine before they will accept them into their care.

2) Canine Influenza: There are two clinical forms of influenza in dogs. Dogs afflicted with the mild form have a soft, moist cough that lasts for 10 to 30 days. It is often misdiagnosed as “kennel cough”. The severe form is typified by a high fever and signs of pneumonia (a high respiratory rate and increased breathing effort). It has a fatality rate between five and eight percent.

3) Leptospirosis: Caused by the spirochete bacterium leptospira, leptospirosis targets the kidney resulting in acute renal failure. Clinical signs of the disease include anorexia, lethargy, vomiting increased drinking and urination. The disease is highly contagious and is spread through contact with the urine of infected animals either directly or through contaminated water sources. Leptospirosis prevalence is on the rise and currently only working dogs and those exposed to wildlife (rats, coyotes, raccoons, skunks etc.) are commonly vaccinated against this disease however smaller breed and domestic dogs may soon be included in regular vaccination protocols against this disease as local prevalence and risk of exposure increases.

The specific vaccine protocol that best serves your pet can be determined by your veterinarian and any questions you may have should be directed to them.

by Andea Walker uppermost rock is the date 1909. The tradesmen who built this overpass truly produced a work of art. Like a tunnel, this arched overpass is approximately 70 feet long, 15 feet wide and 15 feet tall.

Throughout the length and extending on a downward angle for approximately 20 feet, the creek flows over a base of carefully placed slabs of stone. The real artwork however, lies in the design and placement of huge square blocks of stone.

These were obviously quarried as you can see evidence of the rough finish and indentations where they were lifted and moved with huge tongs.

As you look at the side wings and arched style of this intricately designed overpass, let your mind wander. How did they transport these huge blocks to this location in 1909?

Where were the blocks quarried? How did they hoist them into place, cre-

ate the arch and secure them? It is truly an example of the finest craftsmanship and quite a feat for the tradesmen of the day.

Leaving the creek and overpass behind, take the pathway on your left and cross the Canadian National Railway tracks.

Continue on the path and head toward the river. Watch your step if you decide to stray off the path; the cacti seem to love this area and are very prolific here.

As you near the river, the path splits. Take the left hand path and head back toward the slough. The path will merge with another small road and go past a pump house.

It is June, and the cacti are flowering with their bright blooms dotting the landscape. The Russian Olive trees are also in bloom, and the delicate flowery smell wafts through the slight breeze.

As you near the end of this side road, you arrive back on the public road where you walk back to your starting point.

Finding the motivation to change

AT YOUR SERVICE

After reading Wayne’s “Living Well� article two weeks ago, I hope that you have set some realistic, yet challenging goals for a healthier new you.

I remember well about three years ago doing just that.

Four years ago, we welcomed our little girl to our family. I was overjoyed that after praying for 15 years for a child, we now had her! What a marvelous addition to our lives. Adding a new born to your life makes you take a step back and think... about your life, where you are at and where you are going. Now I know those are often mind boggling questions to ponder, but it seems that many who experience the birth of their first child do just that. So here I was so happy with our girl and thinking; “What kind of Mom will I be?� “What will she think of me?� “How much fun will we have together?� and “What can I do now to help give her the best up-bringing possible?�

Well the answers to those questions are still coming and cannot all be told in this short article, but since we are here to talk about being physically healthy, let me tell you how that answer came to me.

I was about 100 pounds overweight about a year after Mary-Grace was born and I felt gross. I couldn’t easily do anything. Even housework was exhausting and after I worked a little around the house and yard my lower back was in pain. I was embarrassed to be so large and so unable to be active in the way I should be. Something in my mind said

Living Well Wayne Little miner1098 @gmail.com “enough!� I wanted to be able to enjoy an active, healthy life with my daughter and husband. I wanted to go on hikes, to play games and sports and to be an example for my daughter to follow. I already felt like I was kind of old to be having a baby and felt that at her graduation, I would be “really� old! I didn’t want to be a Mom sitting there at grad who looked like she was two days away from the grave and living like it too.

I remember that first day in my living room with my exercise video going.

When “Jillian Michaels� said to skip, I noticed that my feet would not leave the ground. When did this happen? I wondered incredulously! I kept going despite my shock at how bad this had gotten. I added some short
