POLICE REPORT Wendy Coomber

Lost geocacher found

March 31 at 4 pm police received a request for assistance from an out of town geocacher who had parked her car and hiked to a nearby Gold Country geocache and then was unable to locate her car. Kamloops Search and Rescue was also called to assist with the search. Initially, it was thought the 41 year old Yale woman was in the area of Mclean Lake, but RCMP members eventually found her in the Upper Hat Creek area. It had ust begun to snow when she was located, safe and sound. She was 15 km away from her car.

Apr. 4 at 11 am a logging truck tipped over on Hwy 99 and spilled its load onto private property, damaging the fence. The driver agreed to leave the logs to compensate the owner for the damaged fence, but later in the day two men arrived at the site intent on recovering the logs.

The property owner called the RCMP to report unwanted people on his land. The call was cancelled as police were en route as the property owner and the men had come to an agreement.

Apr. 6 at 12:45 pm police received a report of a collision on Hwy 1 just south of Basque Ranch near Venables Valley Rd. after a spare tire on a trailer came loose and hit an oncoming car. The vehicle did not stop. The driver, a Williams Lake woman in her 50s, was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries. The front end of her car, a Toyota Yaris, was damaged extensively. Police are asking for any witnesses to the accident to call them at 453-2216.

They are hoping that someone can identify the vehicle hauling the trailer.

Provincial grants benefit local towns Fraser-Nicola communities will be receiving $1,311,751 as part of almost $40 million being invested into communities across B.C. to meet local needs including more policing, new equipment, increased community safety initiatives, infrastructure and service delivery priorities.

Ashcroft will receive a Small Community grant of $143,756; Cache Creek will receive $128,310; Clinton will receive $112,671; and Lytton will receive $100,746.

Lillooet will receive a Small Community grant of $151,550; and Logan Lake will receive $125,534.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District will receive a Regional District grant of $49,504.

“The distribution of these grants will be made entirely by local authorities based on their priorities and planned projects,” Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart said. “They also reduce the burden on taxpayers, which is especially important in communities with a small tax base.”

These are the first of two annual payments.

A further payment of $75 million will be made in June 2015.

The Small Community Grant is an unconditional grant to municipalities to assist them to provide basic services. Grant amounts are based on a formula that factors in a base amount, population and assessment values. These grants generally apply to municipalities with populations up to 19,000.

Since 2009, the Small Community, Regional District and Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Grants have provided more than $718 million in funding to support B.C. communities enabling them to invest money in projects that are identified as priorities at the local level.

Buy Local means local businesses thrive MLA Jackie Tegart (centre) congratulates the new owners of Horstings Farm Market, Marc and Dianne Shane, who also received $11,368 in Buy Local funding. The Shanes say the money will be used for signage, advertising and branding the preserves and baking produced in their kitchens.

Actors and singers invited to audition for play The musical My Fair Lady is a theatre classic, and the film version starring Audrey Hepburn is loved by millions.

The Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society is excited to announce that it will be producing My Fair Lady in November 2015; and you could be a part of it!

My Fair Lady - based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion - tells the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller who isn’t happy with her lot in life but has no

idea how to change it. Then she meets Henry Higgins, an expert in phonetics, who announces that he can turn Eliza into a lady simply by teaching her how to speak properly. The feisty Eliza decides to take the rather pompous Higgins up on his challenge, resulting in a delightful battle as these two strong-willed characters set out to achieve what they want.

The songs by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe are classics, from the romantic “On the Street Where You Live” and “I Could Have Danced All Night” to the comic “Get Me to the Church on Time” and “The Rain in Spain” to the bittersweet “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly”:. At the heart of the musical are unforgettable characters: besides Eliza and Henry there are Henry’s patient friend Colonel Pickering; Eliza’s father, Alfred, a dustman who proudly declares himself one of the “undeserving poor”; Freddy, the young man smitten by Eliza; Zoltan Karpathy, a rival of Henry’s who decides to find out if Eliza is a fraud; and Henry’s strong-willed mother, determined that her son’s “experiment” won’t backfire on the innocent Eliza.

WRAPS is looking for actors and singers who would like to take part in My Fair Lady.

There are a large number of parts: some require singing and acting, some are speaking parts only, and some are singing parts only (as members of the chorus). Anyone interested in auditioning for a role should attend the auditions, which will take place in the Ashcroft Secondary School music room on Wednesday, April 29 (7-9pm) and on Saturday and Sunday, May 2–3 (2–4pm). Scripts, scores, and a piano accompanist will be provided.

WRAPS is also looking for people willing to take part backstage: hair and makeup artists; seamstresses; painters; lighting and sound technicians; and props people. Anyone who is able to assist in these areas should come to one of the auditions. For more information contact Jessica Clement at 457-7128.

The WRAPS production of My Fair Lady is going to be an extraordinary event. Get involved The new playground equipment at the Cache Creek Park got a proper workout last Sunday after and be a part of it; you’re guaranteed to have a the annual Easter Egg Hunt as the children’s attention turned from gathering eggs to playing.

VIEWPOINTS

WENDY COOMBER

We can’t continue to ignore the Earth The start of Spring reminds us that there is a lot to look forward to.

Not only a new crop in the fields, Spring is about renewal after the Winter months when everything comes to a stop - or we wish it did so we didn’t have to venture out in the cold.

If we’re lucky, we get to see the next generation of wildlife, the ground becomes softer to walk on, migratory birds like osprey return, the days become longer, the air smells sweeter (except for the few days when area farmers are fertilizing their fields) as the trees put out their buds and trigger the beginning of allergy season!

Spring puts our focus on our surroundings. Everyone will enjoy the climbing temperatures, and a few of us will grab our gloves and an empty trash bag and collect the unsightly debris that has collected over the winter.

Earth Day is coming up on Apr. 22; Earth Hour has come and gone.

As many have rightly pointed out over the years, every day is earth day. The annually designated Earth day is more like the one day we are all supposed to focus our energies on “helping” the planet by cleaning it up, putting conservation habits into place and celebrating its natural beauty.

But it it’s anything like this year’s Earth Hour in BC, it will pass without much notice - or celebration. This year’s Earth Hour, sponsored around the world by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) had the lowest energy savings in our province since the event began in 2008.

It was averaging 100 megawatt hour reduction in electricity until this year. In 2013 BC saved a record 136 megawatt hours or 1.95 per cent reduction in overall provincial load. This year, 2015, BC saved 15 megawatt hours or 0.2 per cent.

Considering the fact that climate change is real, we need to look for more ways to conserve what we have. In BC, our electricity is generated by water running through turbines. No water means no electricity. We depend on this planet for much of what we take for granted. It’s past time we cut back on what we take, and start giving back.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor I am looking for information about a mystery that has me - as well as several long-time residents of Ashcroft stumped. I’ve long suspected that there was once a building on a flat, clear patch of land to the left of Hwy 97C as one comes off the bridge and turns towards Cache Creek (just beyond the ridge where the grad signs are; ospreys nest on a pole at the site).

CLEAN-UP DAY

Have your waste to the curb by 8:00 AM THURSDAY, April 23, 2015 In an effort to assist you with your spring cleaning, the Village of Cache Creek is providing an opportunity for excess refuse removal. We’ll take anything from garden refuse to auto bodies.

No hazardous waste please.

The TNRD Household Hazardous Waste Roundup will be held in Ashcroft at the Ashcroft Recycling Depot on Railway Ave on Sunday, May 3rd from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm for items such as paint, pesticides, gasoline and oil containers, etc.

For larger items and/or quantities, please phone in advance no later than Wednesday, April 22nd at 250-457-6237.

UN highlights the need for soil conservation “And I hope you have a most awesome day.” This was the closing remark from a young man going door to door to promote some special interest and who was thanked and told I had other interests. His comment led me to think just what would be a “most awesome day” and did I really want to have such a day. At Loon Lake Road the days are quite predictable and generally are good days – good health, good company, good food and good access to nature and fresh air.

I still like the old fashioned “good day” as a greeting or a farewell and have always felt uncomfortable with the current overuse of the word “awesome”. It seems that the word is used when nothing is inspiring awe and where “okay” used to be the usual reply.

Why search for words to state clearly what you really mean when one word can cover every possibility?

A recent conversation with a six year old recently: Me “Please come to the table, breakfast is ready”. The six year old replies: “Awesome”!

I think young children should be experimental with the language (and learn several). I always smile to myself at the sight of a young child experimenting with using long words like “awesome”, “apparently” and “incidentally”, as our house six year old does.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, criticism coming your way is intended to be constructive. Listen to what others are saying and recognize that they are advocates, not adversaries.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give yourself time to form an opinion on an important issue in your life. The more time you give yourself, the more clearly you will see the issue at hand.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, not everyone moves at your breakneck speed. Just because others aren’t keeping up doesn’t mean they don’t understand what is going on. Give others time to catch up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a budding relationship demands your attention this week. Give this relationship the attention it deserves, and you will be glad for having done so.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, resist the urge to rehash an old issue. You and others have long since moved on, and there are more positive things to focus on in the next week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, your financial savvy comes to the forefront this week. Put your skill for finding a deal to work and you and your accountant will be glad you did.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a goal that seems unlikely is still worth working toward. Others will be there to offer support and guidance as you pursue this very unique and rewarding goal.
