Lost stargazer found along river
Fusa Teshima, Ben Roy receive special medal Senator Nancy Greene-Raine was in Cache Creek last week to present a very special medal to two very special people. Cache Creek’s Ben Roy and Ashcroft’s Fusa Teshima were chosen to receive the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for their significant contributions to their communities. Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta nominated Roy for the award, listing over 30 years of service to Cache Creek. Fusa Teshima’s nephew, James Teshima, nominated her for the award. Ashcroft Mayor Andy Anderson called her a “tireless volunteer that no one really knows about”, who is involved in just about everything. The medals were presented by Senator Greene-Raine in a ceremony held at the Cache Creek Village Office on Aug. 29 with family and friends in attendance.

A missing Grande Prairie woman who was the subject of four days of searches by family, friends and police, was found safe and uninjured last week. She told police that she parked her car and left it to do some stargazing and got lost. Suzie Duguay, 37, was driving from Vancouver to Williams Lake to visit family and friends, who were expecting her on Aug. 24. When she didn’t arrive, they contacted police and put posters up around the area. Her black 2010 Mazda 3 was found on Aug. 23, parked at the Ashcroft hospital. It contained her bags, wallet and cash, and cell phone. Video surveillance showed Duguay walking away from her car alone towards the highway at approximately 10:45 p.m. Duguay was spotted on Aug. 27 at approximately 10 p.m. along the banks of the Thompson River, about 10 km south of Ashcroft by a member of the Ashcroft Indian Band. He gave her a ride back into town after realizing who she was. Duguay had some food with her and said she drank some water from the river. As a precaution, she was taken to Kamloops hospital for medical assessment and released.
Container bylaw passes second reading Ashcroft Council gave a second reading to Bylaw 776 to amend Zoning Bylaw 738 (2005) to include a definition of cargo containers and their permitted uses. Administrator Michelle Allen told Council that most rules put into place through a bylaw in respect to zoning could be reviewed and changed at a later date through variance. Coun. Jackie Tegart asked to have the bylaw read for a second time later on in the meeting after learning that containers currently situated on properties are “grandfathered”. She said she was concerned about comments made by Fire Chief Henderson at the July 23 public meeting regarding combustibles stored in some cargo containers left near houses. “We can amend later if we have to,” she said. “I would rather begin this and move forward rather than leave a window of opportunity.” Council approved the second reading. Coun. Alice Durksen voted against it, saying she wanted more information before voting again.
