Ashcroft’s Canada Day organizers plan to move downtown
If streets could talk
Close to 50 people attended the heritage event Main Streets last weekend in Ashcroft, put on by the Village and the Museum. Old businesses and events on Railway Avenue were featured and provided interesting and often funny insights into Ashcroft’s past. Above, Colleen Mireau and Pauline Ogilvie compare pictures and memories.

Ashcroft’s Canada Day festivities appear to be moving downtown this year. Ashcroft Council gave conditional approval at the Feb. 23 meeting to WRAPS’ request to use Heritage Place Park on July 1 and to close Railway Ave. from 10 am to 1 pm “to facilitate the Children’s Bike Parade and the participation of the Legion Members and RCMP.” The condition set out by Council was that the Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society members first talk to the residents directly affected by the road closure. Ashcroft’s July 1 celebrations have been in the pool park since 2008 when they were organized directly by the Village. WRAPS took over organizing the event in 2013 at the Village’s request. The group sent its request to Council by letter. “For the benefit of the guests who attend the Canada Day Celebration, the Village staff and the volunteers ofWRAPS who organize the event, our plan is relocate the Celebration to the Heritage Park,” they wrote. “This would be advantageous as chairs and tables would not need to be moved to the park.” Last year, at the request of the Wellness Festival, the Village rewired the park to accommodate more users such as vendors and musicians. Council also approved the free use of the swimming pool from 1-4 pm, the beginning of which would coincide with the finish of the activities in Heritage Place Park. However, Council refused the group’s request to appoint a councillor to their organzing committee and for additional funds. “We are requesting an $800 donation from the Village of Ashcroft for Canada Day 2015 Celebration,” they wrote. “Your donaiton will enable us to carry out an enjoyable and varied Canada Day program.” Council directed staff to let the group know that they needed to fill out a grant-in-aid application form in order to receive any money from the Village, and that $500 was the maximum amount allowed under the Village’s Grants in Aid Policy. The Village has provided them with $500 for the past two years and contributes the wages attributed to having the pool open for three hours on a statutory holiday.

Cougar Annie comes to Ashcroft “B.C. widow with nursery and orchard wishes partner. Widower preferred. Object matrimony.” So ran an advertisement placed by Ada Annie Rae-Arthur in The Western Producer in 1936. Born Ada Annie Johnson in Sacramento, CA in 1888, she lived in England, South Africa, and the Canadian Prairies while still a child, and moved to an isolated spot on Vancouver Island near Clayoquot Sound in 1915 with her first husband, Willie Rae-Arthur. When Willie died in 1936, his widow - who had had 11 children by this point - placed an ad hoping to find a suitable replacement. She ended up outliving four husbands, one of whom tried to push Annie off a cliff in order to inherit her farm; but Annie outsmarted him and ran him off the property with a shotgun. He disappeared, never to be seen again. Annie’s five-acre garden - which she cleared herself - was her pride and joy, and furnished her with a steady income from the sale of bulbs and plants. She also ran a post office and general store on her property, and became known as “Cougar Annie” for her prowess at killing cougars. She claimed to have killed more than 60 of them over the course of her life, as they preyed on the goats and chickens which she raised. She continued to live on her farm until she was into her nineties, and died in 1985, aged 97.
Volunteer appreciation draws a crowd There was a good turnout for the Clinton Volunteer Appreciation and Citizen of the Year reception on Feb. 28. (R-L) Mayor Jim Rivett and Village administrator Tom Dall were two of the many on hand to thank Clinton’s many volunteers and to welcome Clinton’s new Citizens of the Year. See p. 7 for more.
The power of prayer offered to those who need it
Katrina Kadoski and her one-woman play, Cougar Annie Tales, will be in Ashcroft on March 15.
Singer-songwriter Katrina Kadoski moved to Annie’s historical homestead in 2007 and spent three years there living “off the grid”. She became fascinated by Annie’s colourful life, and began conducting interviews with Annie’s relatives and collecting photos, news clippings, and letters to learn more. After five years of researching and writing, Cougar Annie Tales was born, a one-woman show combining narrative, photographs, letters, and original songs that celebrates the unconventional and fascinating life of one of B.C.’s most colourful characters. The Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society is pleased to be bringing Katrina Kadoski and Cougar Annie Tales to Ashcroft on Sunday, March 15 at 3pm at St. Alban’s Church Hall. Tickets can be purchased at Ashcroft Bakery, UniTea, Nature’s Gifts, and the Cariboo Jade Shop. For more information visit the WRAPS website at www.windingriversarts.ca; and to find out more about Katrina Kadoski and Cougar Annie Tales, visit www. katrinakadoski.com Submitted
The world is holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves. - Terry Tempest Williams Prayer is something that we do all the time, yet often without any realization that what we are about is prayer. Think of times spent in nature, when you find yourself stopped, simply in awe at what you are experiencing. How about hiking in the hills, sitting by the water with waves lapping at your feet, meditating on your own or in a group or a walk in the park with grandchildren? When we are truly present to what we are experiencing, it is an act of prayer. Another form of prayer is more intentional - people gather to pray about issues or concerns in their lives, their communities, their countries and the world. And they come together to share what they are grateful for in their own and others’ lives. St Alban’s has a group of people who come together each week to pray intentionally. We gather to pray for such things as divine order, guidance, health, peace and harmony, divine justice, protection and comfort. Our prayer time together demonstrates our knowing that there is divine order in our lives and our world, despite how things may look from our small viewpoint. And prayers are offered from that perspective. If you have someone or some-
thing you would like us to pray about, a confidential message can be left on the church phone, 250 453-9909, or through the prayer box at the back of the church. There are prayer sheets
that can be filled out and placed in the box, with or without your name attached. Let us know - we’ll hold you in our prayers. Martina Duncan
March brings the Daffodil Tea ROCKIN’ & TALKIN’ Clinton Seniors Association Zee Chevalier “It’s Spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want - oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” -Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer Abroad Winter has loosened its grip. Can we assume that we’re finished with snow and cold? Spring officially begins March 20. Daylight Savings Time begins March 8. The Irish in our midst, and those who wish they were, celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. From an unknown author comes this sentiment “For each petal on the shamrock, This brings a wish your way: Good health, good luck and happiness, For today and every day.” The pancake Breakfast on Shrove Tuesday was a wonderful success. St. Peter’s parish very much appreciates the tremendous community support. Thank you!
Clinton Seniors Association will host a Daffodil Tea on March 18 from 1:30-3:30 pm in the Clinton Memorial Hall. A portion of the proceeds will be forwarded to the Canadian Cancer Society. There will be strawberry shortcake, home baking, cut daffodils and pots of miniature daffodils available. Clinton shut-ins and businesses may call 250 459-2254 from 1pm for takeout orders. The Foot Care Clinic will be held at the Clinton Seniors Centre 217 Smith Ave. on Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14. To discuss your foot health or to book an appointment call Colleen Thom, RN CAFCN at 250 374-1735 The next regular General Meeting of the Clinton Seniors Association will be held at the Clinton Seniors Centre 217 Smith Avenue on March 19 following a noon lunch. Come and join us! Happy Birthday March 25 to Elnora Edward and to Mary Burrage and Alice Crosson, both on March 27. As we grow up, we realize that it is less important to have lots of friends, and more important to have real ones. - author unknown.

If this is Winter, what comes next? It’s been an odd Winter. I’m not complaining, mind you. I never complain about the heat and I will never complain about the lack of snow. It’s just... unusual. Two weeks to go before the start of Spring and already the trees are beginning to bud and the activity in my flowerbed is starting to worry me - so much so that I’ve been covering up those tender young shoots that we wait all Winter to see - because, although there’s only two weeks to go before the first day of Spring, we know not to trust the calendar. There are no norms when it comes to weather, even though Environment Canada may say differently. There’s only a best guess. And, while I may consider this perfect Winter weather, there are many who would disagree - ski resorts and other businesses who rely on snow. And ice. Cars on Ice actually had to cancel their season of racing on Barnes Lake. People have been wondering how this is going to affect this year’s “fire season”, and no doubt the farmers and ranchers are concerned about the amount of moisture in the soil. If I had of known what this Winter was going to be like, I would have made sure all of my garden areas had a good thick layer of mulch covering them. It’s amazing that we can walk on the moon but we are still at the mercy of the weather. We build shelters to escape from it, to withstand extreme weather and to give us the perfect indoor environment, but the fact is that “weather” can still intervene tornados, mud slides, earthquakes, floods. It’s crazy. And so, when I say this has been an odd Winter, I’m wondering what is going to follow. Will Spring be just as odd? If the early trend continues, will we have snow in September this year? No one knows. Most people would be satisfied with not knowing, but the ones who make their living off of having the right weather at the right time can only cross their fingers and hope for the best. Meanwhile, I’ll keep covering up any flower that shows itself before April.
THE TATTERED WINTER REMAINS of a clump of local rabbit brush
Proud to call Cache Creek her home town Dear Editor Aug. 29, 2014 was when my father, Stan Lievers, was beaten unconscious for no apparent reason, and left to die by someone in your town. Someone, I might add, who is still free, without criminal charges because the my dad was beaten so badly he couldn’t remember what happened. During that extremely stressful time six months ago, many people pulled together to help our family through the stress and the five weeks dad was in RIH recovering from this incident. I want to thank each and every one of you who helped us, gave food and drink, offered babysitting for our two babies, helped harvest the garden and maintain the yard, gave emotional support and even offered rides and gas money. I was amazed at the generosity and kindness of these people. When dad died of lung cancer on Feb 12, again, the caring people in the Cache Creek area pulled together to support my family any way they could.

This month’s inspirational video feature is “What the bleep do we know?” on Thursday, March 12 from 7-9pm. “What the bleep do we know?” combines documentary-style interviews, computer-animated graphics, and a narrative that posits a spiritual connection between quantum physics and consciousness. Follow Amanda, a divorced, middle-aged photographer who is thrust into a world where science and spirituality converge. The emotional and existential obstacles she encourters cause her to consider the idea that individual and group consciousness can influence the material.

If you haven’t heard of the rural BC town of Horsefly, the Romeros are hoping to change that. The Horsefly pair released their album A Wanderer I’ll Stay on March 3. The pair’s third album, it was recorded at home in the workshop, where they run their own J. Romero Banjo Company. It features fiddle, bass, drums and pedal steel and includes some old-tyme covers like the Civil War ballad “The Dying Soldier” and the Alan Lomaxera tune “Goodbye Old Paint,” along with original songs like “Ballad of Old Bill,” which was written about a local man who was eaten by a bear. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the song feels like it’s been rolling along a dusty plain out west for decades, just waiting to be picked up and sung. Anchored by Pharis’s rock-solid rhythm guitar and propelled by Jason’s inventive picking on a variety of banjos and guitars, their plaintive voices and soulful blend capture the ear and the imagination.

Cougar Annie Tales is about the life and times of an amazing west coast female pioneer. California-born Ada Annie Jordan settled in the Clayoquot coastal rainforest in 1915 with her first husband and three young children. A five-acre garden that she carved out of the wilderness provided food and income throughout her long life. The bounty on cougars supplemented her income and she earned her moniker of Cougar Annie by reputedly shooting more than 70 of the animals. Jordan gave birth to eight more children in this remote location, and rarely left the property until old age and blindness forced her removal to Port Alberni, where she died just shy of 97. Katrina Kadoski spent close to three years at Cougar Annie’s garden, immersing herself in the folklore surrounding the legendary pioneer-settler. Tickets can be purchased at the door or to find or from the following merchants: The Ashcroft Bakery; Natures Gifts; or the Cariboo Jade Shoppe; or you can buy your tickets online at www.windingriversarts.ca

Maybe Oprah can help?
In 2002 Jamie Lee Curtis famously posed for a magazine to expose what she really looked like. The mother of two appeared make-up free in a sports bra and spandex shorts, proudly displaying a softer, thicker physique rather than the perfect hard body she was known for. She was 43-years-old at the time and felt compelled to reverse some of the harm she and her profession had subjected a trusting public to with it’s constant parade of impeccably airbrushed photos. She wanted women to discover that we shouldn’t try to look like celebrities and models because even they didn’t look the way they were presented. After the unforgettable photograph was taken, 13 people worked their magic over the next three hours to transform her into the flawless movie star we were familiar with for the pages that followed. The enlightening pictorial made a power-

A couple weeks ago it seemed like Cindy Crawford might be doing something similar when a shockingly untouched image of her began circulating the internet along with a story about it being part of a magazine feature designed to empower women. However, it quickly became unclear as to whether she intended it to be seen publicly or it was leaked without her permission. Regardless, the imperfect body shot of her wearing lingerie was out there for anyone to criticize or praise. Also a mother of two, Cindy Crawford was 47-years-old at the time the picture was taken, and in

Plan ahead for some magic.
contrast to the one of Jamie Lee Curtis, she was fully made up and only needed some digital tweaking to smooth out her visible flaws and make her look the way we’re accustomed. I shared the photo with friends and posted it on Facebook asking people if they’d rather see real pictures like this in the magazines, or the thoroughly altered images of perfection that have become the norm. The reaction was mixed. The vast majority of women said they’d prefer to look at un-doctored photographs, and many felt that seeing this iconic fashion star in a more honest state helped loosen the expectations they had for
Some of the men agreed and added that the excessive use of trickery before, during and after a photo shoot wasn’t lost on them. Others, though, were revolted and one male friend responded with: “I just threw up a little.” If that’s the immediate reaction an incredibly gorgeous super model gets from an authentic picture of herself, what chance do the rest of us have? In this day and age most people realize what’s involved in attaining the flawless images we’re used to seeing, but is that knowledge actually alleviating some of the unhealthy and unrealistic pressures we place on our own aesthetics? I think it’s helped slightly, but as a society we continue to be negatively affected. According to the Confidence Coalition and the Canadian Mental Health Association, only two
percent of women think they are beautiful, one out of four college aged women has an eating disorder and 90% of girls say they feel pressured to be thin from what they see in the media. Even without the issue of airbrushing this makes sense when we consider the average North American woman is 5’4” and weighs 166 pounds, yet the average model is 5’11” and weighs 117 pounds. A few celebrities might offer bona fide images of themselves, and there will always be unauthorized shots posted on the internet, or unflattering ones taken by the paparazzi – but until there’s a reputable magazine with a
person of prominence leading a mission to present more truthful pictures, I don’t think attitudes will change much more than they have. This is where someone like Oprah Winfrey could easily make a positive difference. Her popular self-titled magazine is heavily photo-shopped from cover to cover. What would happen if she put a stop to that and started representing all kinds of people, including herself, without postproduction tampering? Would sales drop or increase? Being a billionaire megastar intent on making constructive improvements to humanity, she’s in an optimal position to take the
small risk and find out. If my friends who prefer real over fake prove to be a good reflection of what the general public wants, her sales would increase and other magazines would follow suit. For a woman who has personally suffered the ill effects the media has played on her own image, this seems like an amazing opportunity for her to reverse some of that damage, and help boost the self esteem of millions. If you have any ideas on other people who could help, please send them the suggestion. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

Of mice and MOTI and the approach of Spring I believe nearly everyone in the area has appreciated the unseasonably warm weather this past month. I can see that the newborn calves sure do. As the snow was melting in my garden a very complex network of under the snow tunnels, about 2 cm wide was revealed as a series of lines running all over the place. What were they? They were mouse tunnels built so the mice could run freely about the garden below the snow crust and in safety from owls, hawks and four legged predators. Kind of like a mouse subway? I do wonder just how much damage the mice also did to roots and stems in the garden as they moved about. Loon Creek never even began to freeze over this winter, that’s how mild it has been. One other unusual thing this winter was that there has been a lot more water flowing out of Loon Lake than usual during the winter season. As the snow receded and the ground became more exposed I began to think about the garden books advice on mulching. Many say if the winter will be hard one should mulch heavily in the fall. I have always wondered about that advice, as how is one to know if the winter will be a hard one before it is winter? So I have always acted as if the winter will be a hard one. But what is a hard winter for plants? Here at Loon Lake, with an elevation of 850 meters above sea level, it can be a period of cold without snow cover and that is exactly what we have these days now that the snow has melted. The warm weather has tempted many plants into starting to grow and now with temperatures forecast to be back in the minus mid teens, this new growth is in danger of being killed. I have been piling even more straw and mulch on everything to keep the ground around from thawing out so the plants won’t even think about growing for another three weeks or so. Within the past five years I have recorded -17 degrees on April 15 so a couple weeks of warm in February mustn’t be taken as evidence that spring has arrived. I have learned a new word. It is one invented in the UK – and it is Hibernot. It refers to a person who gets out and enjoys
the cold winter weather; here I think the appropriate word for such a person is “Canadian” but I guess Hibernot works for the British. This is a movement to get people out doors, enjoying the winter countryside including starting up a charcoal grill and having a barbeque out in the cold sunny air. And what a good idea that is, not only is the air fresh but the smells and tastes of charcoal cooked food in the cold weather are really very appealing. There are advantages to living in the countryside, including being able to enjoy hot dogs grilled over an open fire.

Lake Road on Ministry lands and adjacent crown land and pointed out that practises by the Ministry and its contractors were actually furthering their spread. I received a response just recently and it seems that everything is fine. According to the Ministry, there is a great deal of money set aside for managing the control of weeds on Ministry property ($1.3 million) and their contractors use best practises in sanding and roadside maintenance to ensure that their lands are free of noxious weeds. So, in the new “real world” of the bureaucrats those noxious weeds you see along the roadside really aren’t there. MOTI staff, sitting at a computer in Kamloops, are doing everything right and therefore there aren’t any weeds along the road.
