Sea Cadet looking forward to nationals Ashcroft Sea Cadet Ian Curran of 347 Avenger Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) is heading to the National Sea Cadet Regatta in Kingston later this year after placing first in the 40th Annual National Qualifying Regatta in Victoria.

Curran’s been a cadet for five years and this was his third attempt at the NQR: He’s placed seventh and third in the past. “Coming first is way better,” he says.

He and his team mate capsized once on the course, but it didn’t stop him. He says he and his team mate concentrated on winning: there was no other option.

Curran has already spent a summer in Kingston with the cadets and he knows what to expect.

“You just have to be aware of what’s happening in your environment,” he said.

He’ll be competing with 24 other boats. The national is the highest sailing event for cadets.

The 48th annual Fine Art Show & Sale started last week at St. Alban’s Hall and displayed nearly 200 beautiful pieces of artwork from local artists.

Suspected theft

Apr. 14 police received a complaint from the Oasis Hotel that an ex-tenant caused damage to their room and possibly stole power tools that were stored nearby. Hotel management said the 34 year old Prince George woman had just been evicted after a week of staying in one of the rooms, and the disappearance of the tools was noticed the same day she left.

End of conversation

Apr. 14 at 8 pm police were notified that an assault had taken place in the parking lot of the Husky in Cache Creek earlier that evening. The alleged victim, a 59 year old Hazelton man, advised that he confronted another trucker about his method of parking and he responded by jabbing his fingers into the victim’s throat and shoving him. Both men had left before police were contacted.

A place to sleep

Apr. 15 at 5:30 am police received a report of a break and enter in progress in 16 Mile. Police located a 59 year old Williams Lake man trying to break into a travel trailer parked near the highway on private property. There was nothing of value in it, and the intoxicated hitchhiker was looking for a place to sleep. He was lodged in cells at the Detachment until sober.

LIFE WITH PETS

Safety in Numbers

re-emergence of childhood diseases that have not been an issue for years. When I was a kid, every student in school was vaccinated against diseases like Rubella, mumps and measles. My parents never lost sleep worrying whether my brother or I would suffer the devastating and crippling consequences of polio. Not too long ago, smallpox wiped out entire communities. The development of vaccines made those diseases a distant memory.

Now these diseases exist only in the most underdeveloped and marginalized parts of the world where children do not receive vaccines. In North America, the practice of administering vaccinations to children is becoming a hotly debated topic.

So how does this apply to our pets? Many pet owners are becoming concerned about the effects of vaccinations for their animals and some are choosing not to vaccinate their animals. The history of pets is not unlike that of humans. Your grandparents or great-grandparents likely had siblings or friends who became crippled from polio or who died from another childhood ailment. Similarly, these same people almost certainly had a dog that died of distemper, as tens of thousands of puppies did before they reached their first birthday. Those dogs that managed to survive often had severe and lasting problems, including seizures. Pets died from rabies and, in the 1970’s and 1980’s, countless dogs died from parvovirus—before a vaccine was developed to prevent this disease.

When we don’t have direct experience with something, we often dramatically underestimate the risk. Such is the case with vaccines. Anyone whose pet has experienced a vaccine reaction (usually a swollen face, itching, vomiting or lethargy) recalls the experience. But hardly anyone to-

Michelle and Pam

www.cariboomobilevet.com day has lost a pet to distemper. Why? Because we vaccinate. What many people don’t realize is that vaccines protect not only the animal (or person) vaccinated, but they also protect unvaccinated individuals. This is called “herd immunity”. When the vast majority of a population (either four legged or two-legged) is protected against a disease, it lowers the risk for infection for everyone in that group. Because fewer individuals are susceptible to the disease, even those that are not vaccinated are less likely to encounter the disease, and therefore less likely to become ill.

So what happens when fewer individuals are vaccinated? These diseases are always waiting in the wings to infect unprotected populations. This effectively turns back the clock and history repeats itself.

I did volunteer vet work in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, an area where many dogs are not vaccinated and are not on heartworm prevention. So what did I see?

A dozen or more cases of canine distemper. In almost 20 years of veterinary practice, I have only seen one other case. Almost all the dogs were also infected with heartworms, which is a potentially fatal parasite. Unvaccinated dogs can also be exposed to distemper from infected wildlife, such as fox and raccoons. Rabid dogs from northern Canada have also been transported to metropolitan areas with dire consequences.

For pets that do have a history of vaccine reactions, or those with immune system issues, there are reasonable alternatives, such as antibody titre tests, which use a blood sample to measure animal’s level of immunity to a specific disease. For the rest of us, vaccine protection is the best insurance policy.

Apr. 18 at 8 pm police received a report of a lost wallet near the Ashcroft Village Office on Bancroft St. The wallet is white with light blue and pink lettering.

Please turn in at the RCMP office if found.

Deck on fire

Apr. 19 at 1:10 am police assisted the Ashcroft Fire Dept. who were called to a fire on Brink St. where a backyard deck was on fire. The fire was extinguished but there was damage caused to the house as well as to the deck. The fire is still under investigation but it is not deemed suspicious.

Bag found

Apr. 19 an Interior Roads employee turned in an overnight bag found by the highway near Venables Valley Road containing clothing, a radio and headphones.

Anyone missing the bag can claim it at the RCMP station.

Hope wants ridings left the same Hope Standard The BC Electoral Boundaries Commission was in Hope recently, looking for input on the new ridings.

“The council has discussed this electoral boundary issue in detail and the decision of council was unanimous — we are unanimously in favour of staying within the Chilliwack alignment for the electoral boundary,” said Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. “A lot of this has to do with geographic accessibility, almost without exception, the provincial services that we enjoy as a community are based in Chilliwack — be it health services or the courts, there is a natural tie with Chilliwack.”

A request for the reconciliation of Hope and the Fraser Canyon with the Fraser-Nicola riding that currently presides over the communities of Princeton, Merritt, Lillooet, Ashcroft and Clinton was met with a level of honesty and integrity.

“Constituents of Hope, the Fraser Canyon and up through Boston Bar have already experienced inadequate representation and consequences when these areas once formed a part of the Fraser-Nicola riding,” said Hans Jeschek, broker and manager at Royal LePage. “The MLA of that period was located too far away to meet frequently with residents and did not visit our communities often.”

Hope was once part of the Fraser-Nicola riding, prior to a realignment established in the Electoral Districts Act in 2008 when Hope officially became a member of the ChilliwackFraser Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart dropped by the Village of Clinton last week to present a $20,000 Hope riding.

Dog parks can benefit everyone It’s Spring and everyone, it seems, wants a dog park.

Clinton, Ashcroft, Cache Creek... The question has come up in our towns. Clinton, apparently, is going forward with theirs; Ashcroft is putting together a committee to look into it; in Cache Creek it hasn’t been put to Council yet.

A quick scan of the world wide web shows that a lot of major cities now have dog parks or off-leash areas - not one, but several.

It’s not a bad idea for the dogs. Like people, most animals - especially domesticated ones - are social. I don’t have two (or more) cats just because I love them - I recognize their need to be with others of their own species. My cats don’t have the opportunity to mingle with other cats because they don’t leave the house.

Dogs are larger and need more room than a house can provide. Yards are necessary, but they don’t provide the “meet and greet” opportunities that a dog park might, unless it’s from a dog whose owner treats the entire town like an off-leash area. And I know several of those.

At a recent Town Hall meeting in Cache Creek, the idea was proposed by a resident recently moved to town. That sparked a lively debate about loose dogs and the cleanup required after them. It was suggested that a dog park would take care of that problem, although I suspect that the dog-owners who let their animals run freely wouldn’t be interested in taking them to a park. And who is going to clean up the park, or is that considered a hazard of having a dog park?

Simply fencing off a section of land and calling it a dog park shouldn’t be enough.

Dogs - and their owners - need some basic obedience training to avoid serious fights, up to date health cards to avoid the spread of infectious diseases, and of course they need to be neutered to avoid unwanted pregnancies and aggression.

It’s going to take a while to sort the rules and limits, but it can be worth it for local dogs and their families, as well as visitors who want to let their dogs run free.

We’ll see how Clinton works this out.

SUNSHINE HIGHLIGHTS the fresh green buds of new leaves for this tree

Nanotechnology reshaping the future

by Carlo Montemagno Director, Ingenuity Lab University of Alberta EDMONTON, AB/ Troy Media/ For more than two million years, mankind has shaped its world through the creative manipulation of a small number of fundamental machines.

Throughout the agricultural and mechanical ages, from the printing press to the first airplanes, all were crafted from the six fundamental machines of physics - the screw, the wheel and axle, the incline plane, the lever, the pulley, and the wedge.

The electronic age was established through the addition of five fundamental machines to the modern toolbox: the diode, the transistor, the inductor, the resistor, and the capacitor.

It’s hard to believe, but our entire civilization is founded on the creative exploitation of the properties of just these 11 different building blocks.

Everything, from smartphones to electric cars to global positioning satellites, is produced from a small number of distinct, functional pieces.

Yet our technological achievements pale in comparison to the complexity of the biological achievements found in nature.

Nature is so complex because it has tens of thousands of building blocks to work with, instead of the 11 used by man. Think of the extraordinary innovations humans could engineer if we had access to nature’s incredible selection of tools.

By using nature’s building blocks to manipulate matter a single molecule at a time, Ingenuity Lab is making the impossible possible.

Nature has the ability to actively select, sort and transport molecules and to facilitate the exchange of information, thus enabling communication between them. While there are challenges to working at this atomic level, Ingenuity Lab has been able to capitalize on these molecular interactions found in living systems to yield technologies that will help solve many of society’s challenges.

For example, recent advances have enabled us to use nature’s fundamental machinery in engineered systems to establish a whole new class of valuable materials by transforming CO2 emissions. In fact, this technology has the potential to transform CO2 waste into more than 40 different valuable dropin chemicals. We’re confident this new technology is poised to become a scalable and sustainable weapon to address climate change, all while turning waste into something valuable.

In recent years, much has been written about 3D printing technology, which is essentially a process that builds layers to create a three-dimensional solid object from a digital model.3D printing has the potential to significantly transform the global economy by advancing the value of information, reducing capital infrastructure and product and material transportation costs and accelerating the evoluEMAIL:

tion of products.

3D printing - also known as additive manufacturing - relies on the use of specialty - let’s call them - ‘inks’ such as plastic, ceramics and metals that solidify into a defined structure.

The most common 3D printers use a single material ‘ink’, most often a plastic, to manufacture the final product.

This process allows us to make more complex products that are light and strong, and minimize the use of material, enabling the production of items as varied as antennas in plastic cell phone cases, to high-temperature-, high-loadtolerant jet engine parts.

But advances at Ingenuity Lab are allowing for the transition of additive manufacturing from 3D to a four-dimensional, functional space (4D printing), which will allow devices to actively interact and transform their local environments in many of the same ways living systems do.

This next wave of technological progress will enable the creation of materials and devices that transform energy and collect, process and act on information, which will provide many new avenues to address global challenges with solutions that can improve both our quality of life and prosperity.

Up to now, we have built our manmade world from a few simple ‘machines but with nanobiotechnology we will be able to reshape nature.

Golden Country presents

... Past, Present & Beyond More on the history mystery: the aroma of sewage and lilacs History is, at first glance, fairly easy to recognize. It’s something that happened a long time ago, usually (but not always) so long ago that no one now alive remembers it firsthand; the sort of thing one fidgets through in school, like the Upper Canada Rebellion or Confederation. Other, more recent, events are also classed as history, even though many people still GOLDEN COUNTRY remember them – BARBARA RODEN the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War are three that leap to mind - because they had a profound effect on the world we live in today.

But there’s a grey area of history that’s easy to overlook, and that’s what happened, quietly and without drama, in our own backyards just a few decades ago. It’s the sort of thing that no one will ever write books about, and that Ken Burns will never turn into a six-part documentary for PBS. But it’s fascinating in its own way, as it captures a place and a moment that would otherwise be forgotten.

Just such a piece of history was what I found when I asked what building once stood on the west side of the Ashcroft bridge in about 1965, where a row of lilacs now stands. For those who didn’t see my letter in last week’s paper, the building was the sewage treatment plant for North Ashcroft, and I’m grateful to all those who contacted me with this information. There the story would seem to end; but several people offered up details that combine to fill in a little corner of the history of Ashcroft.

Ray Thompson said that his father Syd was Village Foreman between 1962 and 1967, and that the plant was built during this time (it was completed in 1969, when Ed Walsh was Foreman). There was already a sewage treatment plant for South Ashcroft (what’s now downtown), where almost all the residents and businesses were located in the town’s early days. What’s now North Ashcroft was orchards and fields, with the odd ranch and a scattering of resi-

dences clustered around the Cariboo Road, which had been the gateway to Ashcroft until the bridge was relocated near to its current site in 1932.

It was not until some years after World War II that development began in North Ashcroft.

Marchant had been working on plans for this for some time and Suncor had approved the use of three lots that they own. The Village had applied for a grant to help with construction.

The plans call for a fenced dog park with trails, shrubs, benches, etc. and a sani-dump outside the fence on Village right-of-way.

On hand for Tegart’s presentation were Mayor Jim Rivett, councillors Diana Guerin and Susan Swan and Village staff.

Thanks to the generosity of Integris Credit Union the Village of Clinton now has signage advising that it is a Communities in Bloom community. Not only did Integris finance the signs but their graphics department also designed and created them. They were installed in mid-April by Village staff.

Right: Wayne Little (third from Left) and the Multisports crew on TCC Track interval night. All of these smiling people train between 10 and 20 hours per week.

April • Week 4 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, now is a great time to take a chance and try something new. Something different may be just what you need to get back in the swing of things.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 A big change may be looming, Taurus.

Think about leaving your comfort zone and trying an adventure.

You never know what the experience will bring.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 There’s a lot to accomplish right now, Gemini, but distractions seem to turn up just when you get on track. Try to keep your attention focused on the tasks at hand.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You tend to gravitate toward leadership roles, Cancer. That can pack on the pressure, and sometimes you need a break. Choose this week to stand on the sidelines.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, even though you’re excited about a planned getaway, you’re also a little apprehensive about leaving home for long. Shake off such feelings and enjoy the time away.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, trust your own instincts when an unusual situation arises. Others will offer advice, but you will be most satisfied if you go with your gut.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a friend reenters your life this week and you are better for it. Enjoy this rekindled friendship and set aside some time to catch up and share a few laughs.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, be alert at work this week, as a great opportunity may be coming your way and you want to be prepared. Supervisors will like that you’re on your toes.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your excitement over an upcoming revelation has you wondering how long you can keep a secret. Hang in there a few more days, and all will work out just fine.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, it is finally time to take a well-deserved rest. Make the most of this time to get some R&R as your schedule might be hectic once more in just a few days.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, put yourself first this week, even if you have a lot of things on your plate. If you’re not at your best, you will not be able to help others, so take some time for yourself.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, an unlikely source provides all of the inspiration you need this week. Be thankful to have such a person in your life.

A better outlook with good food and exercise Two people in my life I love very dearly are the two of the most depressed people I know. They are also two of the most unfit people I know. Is there a connection? Yes, there is.

have never looked back.

They turned themselves into Spartan athletes, Ironman athletes, runners, cyclists, you name it.

Introducing a small amount of exercise in your daily routine can help bring you out of depression. Starting off slowly with 10-15 minutes per day can make a big difference. Use an alarm clock to get you up early in the morning to get this workout done before starting your day. Do it at the end of the day when you get home from work to help you sleep better. With a brisk walk, some yoga, a bike ride, or playing some soccer with friends or family. Remember to not overdo it at first, all of these workouts may seem pretty easy to most, but if you have depressed for a long time, simply walking across the parking lot at Walmart can be a huge chore.

As you exercise, your brain releases Endorphins.

Endorphins boost your mood, relieve stress, moderate your appetite, enhance your immune system, among other awesome things. As you progress, your 10-15 minute workout won’t be enough to get your fix. No problem, this is natural. Your body is getting used to the stress, and you simply add some intensity, or duration to your workout.

Now you’ll be getting into more regular sleep patterns, feeling better about yourself, and making smarter choices on what foods to eat.

Spring provides evidence of God’s handiwork Recent rain showers and regular watering have resulted in a rainbow of colours as Spring brings forth a myriad of blossoms, petals and leaves for a variety of fruit trees, flowers and plants in my backyard.

Within a few paces I can see bright yellow, and orange-red tulips, pure white blossoms on my cherry, apricot and plum trees, light and dark pink blossoms on two different varieties of peach trees, and beautiful and striking dark red and pink blossoms on a crab apple tree.

In addition, as I look down I can see the distinct yellow, blue and purple colours of various ground cover plants as well as the dark red stocks and large broad green leaves of my rhubarb plants.

As I approach the aforementioned blossoming trees I can hear a familiar hum of the rapidly beating wings of hundreds of busy bees who are engrossed in the unending task of pollination. Even my lawn has turned from a sickly yellowish colour at the end of winter to a lush green carpet within a week of continuous watering.
