Garbage disposal puts workers at risk Cache Creek resident will be asked to put a little more effort into preparing their garbage for pickup each week.

In response to a report from PublicWorks Superintendent Deb Channell, Council asked staff to come up with a plan to educate residents on how their garbage is to be presented for pickup.

Channell told Council in her report that the highly physical job of garbage collection is made more difficult by people who leave their containers by their house for the worker to come and get, leave dangerous objects in their containers, or exceed their allowed volume. There is no means of enforcing compliance for the current 1991 bylaw.

She said a musculoskeletal injury (MSI) assessment was conducted with WorkSafeBC that determined the current collection system puts the workers at a High Risk of injury.

Council considered that they may eventually have to change to a system similar to Ashcroft’s where the truck itself lifts the standardized garbage container.

Oh, Canada!

Ashcroft and area residents took full advantage of the sunshine and warm temperatures to celebrate Canada Day at the pool park. Flags were waved, hot dogs ate and O Canada was sung in both languages - one at a time.

RCMP use spike belt to stop erratic driver RCMP had to use a spike belt on Hwy 97 near Clinton to stop a Quesnel driver who had ignored several orders to stop and was endangering the lives of those around him.

On June 27 at 4 pm police received several complaints about an erratic southbound vehicle, including one from the 100 Mile House RCMP who had attempted to stop it on Hwy 97. The complaints indicated that the vehicle was driving erratically, travelling at excessive speeds, and had endangered the lives of several highway workers as it sped through a construction zone.

The vehicle was relocated by Central Interior Traffic Services officers at the 59 Mile Cafe and a spike belt was laid across the highway as the driver continued to refuse to pull over. The tires were deflated and the driver and vehicle ended up in the ditch.

A 41 year old Quesnel man was arrested and turned over to 100 Mile House RCMP for tickets that included excessive speed and vehicle impound. No alcohol was involved.

Water plans precede new filtration plant Dale Johnson asked Ashcroft Council why they would be considering water restrictions when the Thompson River is full of nothing but water.

“If I conserve 1,000 gallons this year, will it be there next year?” he asked at Council’s June 25 committee of the whole meeting.

“We have a river running through town,” he said, “let’s use it.”

“If we’re going to conserve water because of the costs to get that water to my property, let’s say so,” he said. “I can buy that, but I’m not just going to conserve water in order to conserve it.”

Mayor Andy Anderson replied that conversatons with Interior Health has made it clear that “We’re getting to a point where we need to improve filtration for our

drinking water.”

Turbidity in the river where the water comes from is climbing, and bacteria adheres to the turbidity.

He said a new filtration plant for Ashcroft would cost $8$10 million. The Village would have to source provincial and federal grants in order to pay for the plant and those grants require that the municipalities have plans in place for water conservation.

“Water is the most important commodity in the world,” said Anderson. “We use way more water here than we need to to keep the lawn green. We don’t want to build a filtration plant bigger than we need.”

He said Council is still listening for feedback to their proposed restrictions, but he doesn’t think anyone will go without the water they need.

Kevin Ryan from Blue Green Architecture Inc. and Adrienne Teague, Branch Head for the Cache Creek Library, at the TNRD open house last week for the new Cache Creek Library building plans.

Construction to begin this month Following an open house on June 25 to present the new Cache Creek Library plans to the public, TNRD administrator Sukh Gill, architect Kevin Ryan and other TNRD staff spoke to Council.

Gill told them that

they are in final negotiations with the successful contractor.

Work on the 1,600 square foot building should begin by the end of July and be finished by March 2013.

Architect Ryan pointed out the library

will have a larger computer area than normal to reflect that libraries are becoming more of a drop in centre these days as opposed to a place to just check out books. The design is “Very open, very airy, very bright,” he said.

Lions and Cache Creek CiB“tree-ify”their partnership The Ashcroft & District Lions Club and Cache Creek Communities in Bloom planted a Princeton Gold Maple tree together in the Cache Creek Community Park Friday morning. The joint venture was in keeping with CiB’s efforts to add to the village’s urban forestry and the Lions Clubs International to plant one million trees in the past year, as encouraged by Lions International President Wing-Kun Tam In fact, the international organization has planted 9.7 million trees between June 2011 and June 2012. L-R: Yvette May and Alice Crosson of Clinton Communities in Bloom, Carmen Ranta, Judy Davison and Mary Kim of Cache Creek Communities in Bloom, Ashcroft & District Lions president Darrell Rawcliffe and Lions Mavis Putnam, Henry Klassen, Inez Lopez, Ernie Kristoff, Vivian Edwards and Nick Lebedoff.

Council listens to Wellness opponents Ashcroft’s “Wellness Awaits You” brand was discussed at Council’s committee of the whole meeting on June 25 as proponents of a recent survey presented their results and asked Council to “revisit the brand.”

The definition of wellness is vague, said Ray Bewza, and the “multi-coloured cow patties” are ugly.

Bewza and Doreen Lambert attended the meeting with about 10 supporters and presented their survey which had been placed in eight area retail outlets and collected 221 signatures.

Thirty-four, they said, agreed with the brand, 24 were undecided. The rest disagreed with it.

Bewza asked Council why they abandoned the western theme recommended by the consultant company, Destination Development International (DDI). “It was accepted by everyone, including Council,” he said.

Mayor Andy Anderson replied that DDI was not part of the brand development. The company came to explain the reasons for branding and the process to follow, but the actual development was left to a company called Flair Innovations. Flair conducted several public meetings and consulted with public inviduals and groups.

Bewza said he knew about the meetings but didn’t know “they were going to switch directions.”

“How do I explain to people in 10 words or less what wellness is?” asked Lambert. She said she had attended meetings of the branding committee and asked for a definition, which they didn’t provide.

“It’s not the same for everybody,” Anderson replied. He added that the first consultant told them that a brand would take a number of years to be fully developed and accepted.

“We were told that a successful brand will create a lot of resistance,” said Dave Durksen, who attended meetings with both DDI and Flair.

He said the DDI consultant told them that there were already dozens of communities sporting a historic-themed brand.

Someone in the public audience suggested that the brand be put to a vote right away.

“If it has to go to a referendum in the future, then it will,” said Anderson.

Council suggested that they attend the branding committee meetings to try and work on a compromise.

The Maple Leaf Forever Canada Day is perhaps the only day when Canadians feel entirely comfortable with enthusiastic public displays of patriotism. Maybe it’s part of our Colonial legacy, or perhaps we shy away from the exuberance of our neighbours to the south, whose patriotism can be somewhat OTT, or “over the top”, as they say in Britain.

Funnily enough, it was while living in Britain that I truly came to appreciate how much being Canadian meant to me. I’d always been proud of my country, of course, proud of its beauty, its people, its accomplishments, its worldwide reputation as a kind and generous and welcoming place.

But I didn’t know how proud I was, and how much I missed my country, until the night of Aug. 3, 1996.

I’d been living in England for four years. There had been the occasional trip back home, but days, even weeks, could pass without me seeing a mention of anything Canadian anywhere. On the night of Aug. 3, however, I was up late watching the Olympic Games from Atlanta. Against all odds, the Canadian men’s 4 x 100 metre relay team took the gold medal, and I was ecstatic. Indeed, I couldn’t have been more proud if I’d been their coach, or my brother had been on the team.

It was dark in Atlanta—and well past midnight in England—when the gold medal was awarded. I watched the men come out in their red-and-white tracksuits, arms raised, step onto the podium, and receive their medals. Then the Maple Leaf rose on the centre pole at the end of the stadium, unfurling proudly at the top, as “O Canada” started playing, and I began to cry.

This wasn’t a discreet tear rolling quietly down one cheek; these were great sobs of joy and pride as I heard my anthem again, that piece I knew so well and hadn’t heard in such a long time.

I came back to Canada in 1997, and have heard the anthem countless times since then. I sing it a little more loudly now, to make up for all those times I couldn’t.

Perhaps there really is no place like home.

I’m so very happy that Canada was the country I got to come home to.

ANOTHER SEASON IN THE GROUND at Desert Hills Ranch in Ashcroft Our farm, Secret Gardens, has been taking a good bit of my time but alas…all is planted except for a few pumpkins and melons.

In addition, my TNRD duties ramped up as of late beginning with my first Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference in Saskatoon.

The FCM brings together about 1,800 politicians from all over Canada to make policy recommendations, network, and listen to our leaders - Mulcair, May, Rae - we even got a short video speech from Stephen Harper.

Bill C-38, the Omnibus Budget Bill was the hot topic and a number of amendments were proposed. And none were approved in Ottawa as the majority Conservatives defeated all 159 amendments.

On a better note, was the Ashcroft Rodeo fun or what! What a great job the

Fillinger wins this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hellclimb

L-r: Karl Minnabarriet, Shawn Wenger, Ray Nyuli, Tracy Kubik, Wayne Little, Colin Madland, Ian Fillinger, Vicki Trill and Alf Trill.

The 3rd Annual Ashcroft Hellclimb on June 23 had some seasoned racers as well as some aspiring ones battling the 18 km climb up towards Logan Lake from Ashcroft.

With Ian Fillinger making it to the top of the hill in only 57 minutes, the pace was set. Wayne Little was the second to the top, with Raymond Nyuli and Shawn Wenger cresting shortly after that.

Continuing along the flats on top another 20 km to the turn around point, most met up with an ugly black rainstorm that definitely put a damper on the ride. The temperature also dropped dramatically. Coming back down the hill had speeds much less than the usual 80+ kph due to the puddles and pelting rain.

Back in Ashcroft, prizes were given out and now we hope for nicer weather for next year!!

Wayne Little

Each day begins with breakfast â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just having breakfast, sit down and join us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nah, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have a cup of coffee, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to lose weight.â&#x20AC;?

WRONG!!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially for someone who is trying to lose weight. Having a well-balanced breakfast that fills you up in the morning does a few different things for you.

1. Our bodies canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go until lunchtime without eating, normally a person will end up having a mid morning snack. Typically that mid morning snack will be something unhealthy.

2. Having a healthy breakfast increases your metabolism and your energy levels.

You are what you eat, and I’m tired of feeling like junk. So, guess what? I’m finally doing

Food for thought something about it.

Since adolescence I’ve used unhealthy foods to deal with uncomfortable

WUZZLES A wuzzle is a saying/phrase that is made up of a display of words, in an interesting way. The object is to try to figure out the well-known saying, person, place, or thing that each wuzzle is meant to represent. Answers below.

I’m 45 now, and this has been a big issue in my life for the last 30 years.

I’m 5-foot-6-inches tall and I’ve been as heavy as 215 pounds and as light as 125 pounds, but no matter what weight I’ve been, I’ve never given up on the junk.

Even when I was at my lowest weight, which turned out to be too thin to maintain, I still consumed lots of candies, refined carbs and diet sodas, so I was never the picture of health.

“You’re a thin person in a fat person’s body,” a gym owner once told me in my second hour on his sweat-soaked treadmill. I was insulted at the time, but he was right. I was skinny from my calorie-restricted diet and my workout overloads, but I wasn’t healthy. As always, I was treating my body like a garbage disposal unit.

Why? Initially I didn’t know any better. As a tween I slept with bricks on my stomach thinking that would flatten my belly. It didn’t. As a teen working at McDonalds, I’d survive on Big Macs and chicken nuggets, gain weight, and then suddenly limit myself to grapefruit juice and mixed nuts. Of course

problems that I, and millions of others do when it comes to food addiction. Or perhaps I should say junk addiction, because it’s not real food that’s the issue. It’s the processed crap that passes for food in the grocery store and often has little or no nutritional value whatsoever.

“I stick to the outside perimeter of the store when I go grocery shopping,” my friend told me recently.

“Haven’t you ever noticed that all the packaged stuff that our bodies don’t need is in the middle aisles?”

I have noticed that, and I’ve had that pointed out to me many times. Yet just because you know the facts doesn’t mean you’ll make wise

decisions. Any smoker can tell you that.

As I mentioned, I’m tired of feeling like junk, so I’m not putting any more of it into my body. No more pop, candy, processed foods or anything else that ends up making me feel gross.

It’s easy to say these words in a moment of strength, but what will I do when I get that overwhelming desire to self-sabotage like I always do? My plan is to write about the experience in a journal and record everything I consume on MyFitnessPal.com, a free diet and fitness site supporting people with health goals. to know the reason I deliberately spoil my well-laid plans, and the trick to conquering this behaviour. I think it’s different for everyone, but if anyone wants to share what worked for them, please contact me at loriwelbourne.com Knowledge is power, and I’m ready to accept any advice that will help me climb out of my garbage can.

Loon Lake addresses confuse computer system I hope everyone has enjoyed our June monsoon season. The rain has made the valley greener than usual by washing away a lot of dust and dead vegetation, and has refilled some of the waterholes as well. Now we are all ready for sun and hot.

Coronation to Jubilee

AT YOUR SERVICE

The Queen’s Jubilee has led my thoughts back to a lovely June day many years ago. It was the day of the Queen’s coronation – June 2, 1953. That was the year there was a school at Loon Lake – located at what is now the Sands Ranch. The Ebert family who owned the ranch then made available two of their cabins – one for the school and the other for the teacher to live in.

The school opened in September 1952 with about 12 children. In those days children walked to school.

From our house the distance was about 6 km – depending on which route we took. Going home was often a slower trip than getting to school.

On the coronation day we were all given a half day school holiday and a gilded souvenir medal. What I remember clearly is the group of us walking back along the dusty Loon Lake Road throwing the medals up in the air and catching them.

The coins glinted so nicely in the sunshine.

Meanwhile everyone is reminded to remove knapweed and Dalmatian toadflax from their property to reduce the spread of these noxious weeds. Be sure to get the roots out and all the flower head so there are no seeds to start more next year. Spotted knapweed is the pinkisk flowering plant along the roadside while Dalmatian toadflax has tall spikes of yellow flowers.

Trees sprouting up Out in the garden the wet weather has resulted in my finding a large number of fir and spruce seedlings in the strangest places.

Fortunately the cool temperatures also permit transplanting with some success so I am still moving things about the yard. Fresh picked salad greens are being harvested and the first pea pods and tomatoes are forming. A few ripe strawberries have been seen but the robins have enjoyed them before I got to them. In return I am enjoying the songs of the robin from the tree tops in my garden so I think it is fair trade.

Patricia Lenore Foster 1929 - 2012

It is with great regret and sadness that the Foster family must announce the passing of our wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Patricia Lenore Foster on June 23, 2012 at Red Deer, Alberta. Pat passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital following a brief illness after having visited one last time with her loved ones. Pat and her husband Norm lived in Okotoks from 1954 – 1982 then retired to Chemainus, B.C. on Vancouver Island. They then moved to Ashcroft where Pat was an avid part of the community and spent the better part of her time tending to her huge garden. They stayed in Ashcroft for the better part of 19 years and recently moved to the town of Olds. Pat finished her working career teaching at Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School after having been a teacher at the Okotoks High School for many years. Pat was predeceased by her sons Bob in 2001 and Dave in 2002.

She leaves behind her husband of 63 years Norm, her sons Mike (Marsha) and Gord, her daughter Cheryl (Jack). She also leaves 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

As per Pat’s wishes there will not be a service. In lieu of flowers the family asks that well wishers make a donation to either the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Diabetes Society in memory of Pat. Heartland Funeral Services Ltd.

Targeting individuals for removing the clubs postings, which flap in the wind from the sides of the mail boxes in the 2100 block is out of place.

Such action should instead be thanked as it serves to save the club from being prosecuted by Canada Post and maintains an attractive appearance along the road.

And for that, you are welcome.

It is also the job of the letter carrier to remove all posting from the private property of Canada Post letter boxes.
