Water conservation on Ashcroft agenda

by Wendy Coomber Ashcroft Council began the process of enacting a water conservation bylaw at its Oct. 26 public meeting by giving Bylaw 799 its first three readings.

Water conservation is part of the Village’s Water Master Plan, finished last year and submitted as part of the application for funding for the new Water Treatment Plant.

Included in the Master Plan is the phasing in of water meters, first for commercial and industrial buildings and then with residential after that.

- generally, feedback at the open house was that people wanted water managed because they see a lot of wasted water – people want safe, clean drinking water and they realize that a cost increase goes hand in hand with that The bylaw will put into effect a watering system for residences between May 1 and Sept.

30 under Stage 1 Water Conservation. More limits are put on water use for stages 2-4.

The bylaw also outlines the fines put in place for not following the rules, such as $150 for the first offence of wasting water or unauthorized use of water, and $500 for a third offence.

Council will finalize and adopt the bylaw at a future meeting.

Creative costumes

Yoda is back! Minions were on the street this year, along with the traditional witches and goblins. The Cache Creek Community Hall was full of laughter and spookiness at the annual Halloween costume party for children.

Golf course reprieve

by Wendy Coomber The Semlin Valley Golf Club is hoping for a renewed interest in local golfing next year.

It held it’s annual general meeting earlier this week, with 25-30 members in attendance.

Most at the meeting thought they were going to hear the course was being closed, but it was decided that if they can sell at least 30 memberships it would cover money that it owes for course operation. More than 30 would provide the funds to operate.

With most of the executive stepping down, members were uncertain whether they should commit the annual membership fees. However, it was decided to meet again in three weeks to determine whether there was enough interest and enough paid up members - to continue.

“Hopefully we’ll all be golfing next summer at the golf course,” said outgoing president Brian Henderson.

Long trip cut short

Oct. 27 at 9:30 pm Traffic Services investigated a complaint of a southbound pickup truck towing an enclosed trailer on Hwy 97 south of Clinton that nearly drove into a rock face. The vehicle was located by Hwy 99. The officer noticed the odour of liquor on the man’s breath and gave him a roadside sobriety test, which he failed twice. The 50 year old Chetwynd man was given a 90 day driving suspension and his vehicles were impounded.

Screamer leaves

Oct. 29 at 7 pm police received a complaint of a young woman screaming and yelling in an apartment on Stage Rd. in Cache Creek. She appeared to be under the influence but had departed before police arrived.

Nov. 1 just after midnight, police were called to the Oasis bar after a fight broke out among three or four men. They were gone before police arrived so the officer conducted a barwalk.

None of the other patrons appeared overly intoxicated and there were no other problems reported.

Herd of deer on road

Nov. 1 a 57 year old Marble Canyon woman called to report an accident from the night before around 10 pm on Hwy 99 near the Pavilion Lime Plant. She reported that she lost control of her pickup truck as she swerved to avoid hitting a herd of deer on the highway and she hit the ditch, rolling down an embankment. She and her passenger were uninjured and walked home. The truck sustained heavy damage.

Icy roads cause accident

Nov. 2 at 8:45 am police were notified of a vehicle rollover about 3 km east of North Rd. on Hwy 97C. Police located the vehicle with its doors open. It had gone off the icy road and rolled several times, sustaining heavy damage. Police later learned that the driver, a 33 year old Merritt woman and her two 3-month old babies had been driven to Ashcroft by a passing motorist. None sustained serious injuries, but they were transported by ambulance from Ashcroft to Kamloops to be checked.

WATER MAIN & HYDRANT FLUSHING Please be advised that the Village of Ashcroft will be flushing water mains and hydrants for the month of November and possibly into December (weather permitting).

During this period, the water in your area may appear cloudy. If this occurs, running the cold water in your bath tub for a few minutes until it runs clear should clean the lines. Faucet screens may require cleaning if residents notice a decrease in water flow. Residents are reminded that they should clean their faucet screens on an annual basis.

The Wellness Studio, which opened in August 2013, is growing slowly but steadily

and is home to practitioners offering different modalities in body work and esthetics.

This business has taken enhancements to their street appeal to a whole new level.

Under the leadership of local artist Marina Papais and husband Daniel Collett, with collaboration from Wiebe’s family and community friends, a fantastic piece of art was created to adorn the front of the

building. The glorious colors in the glass mosaic work, artistically framed with driftwood and other “found” implements, present a colorful, flowing picture of our area.

Communities in Bloom takes pleasure in annually recognizing a local business who has taken pride in their street appeal and is helping to make Ashcroft “bloom.”

Observing the Day of Remembrance It’s no secret that we have short memories, and collectively, they’re even shorter.

We’re reminded of this every time there’s an election.

It’s easier to remember something that happened to us personally rather than an event that included a community or a country. Or several countries.

We are influenced by what we remember. They play a large role in what we call experience. If we lose our memories, the sum of who we are is also lost.

Reinforcement is important in forming memories because it moves the memory relationship from short-lived categories to longer-lasting ones.

As we observe Remembrance Day again this year in Ashcroft, we will once again reinforce the shared and collective memories of our country and our veterans at war, the sacrifices and the lessons learned.

“In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945,” said Queen Elizabeth II. Because the first two world wars occurred before many of us were born - or aware of world events around us - we need to work harder at remembering. And to make sure our children remember.

I am surprised that my family never attended a Remembrance Day service, given the fact that my paternal grandfather along with his brother and sister served in WWI. Possibly because Nov. 11 wasn’t a holiday when I was a child in Ontario.

I remember that in school, we would be asked to stand and be silent for a moment on Nov. 11 at 11 am. And once, my mother and I were in a shopping mall when its management announced that it was 11 am and asked everyone to observe a moment of silence. The bustle and noise in Windsor’s largest shopping mall ceased and everything went suddenly quiet.

For those who claim that Remembrance Day glorifies war, writer George Santayana, who once said “Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.” also reminded us: “We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible.”

Get ready for winter driving That familiar nip is in the air, which means another South Cariboo winter is on its way.

Is your vehicle ready?

Winter tire rules are now in effect. Since Oct. 1, motorists must equip their vehicles with winter tires if they’re travelling in certain areas of the province, including the Interior and the North.

I want everyone to be well prepared as they set out for driving this fall and winter. This means getting your vehicle winter ready, and remembering to always drive to the road conditions.

Winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the Mountain Snowflake symbol or the Mud

and Snow (M+S) symbol.

Winter tires must be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

Drivers who do not have the proper winter tires on their vehicle on the designated routes can receive a fine of $121. Drivers who do not have the minimum tread depth on their tires (3.5 mm) on the designated routes can receive a fine

of $109.

Winter tires improve safety by providing better traction in snow, slush and icy conditions – which can happen at any time around Ashcroft and Cache Creek at this time of year. Drivers are also reminded to check tire air pressure frequently, because it decreases in cold weather.

Commercial vehicles that are 27,000 kg gross volume weight (GVW) and greater, such as tractor trailers, are required to carry chains on the designated routes. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure recommends that commercial vehicle drivers carry chains at all times.

In addition to winter tires, here are some more tips for safe winter driv-

ing: Get your vehicle ready for winter in the fall.

Wear your seatbelt.

Drive to the road conditions – during times of bad weather or limited visibility, slow down.

Learn and practise winter driving techniques before you need them.

Don’t drive under the influence.

Keep your gas tank topped up.

Pack an emergency kit.

Plan your trip and tell your friends and family.

Check road and weather conditions on DriveBC. Remove all snow from your vehicle before each trip.

Give yourself extra travel time in bad weather.

Avoid using overdrive and cruise control on slippery roads.

Travel with a fully charged cellphone for emergency situations.

Winter in the South Cariboo is magical, but it can also be dangerous on the roads.

Having proper tires, planning ahead and driving according to road conditions will help keep you safe when driving in tough winter conditions. Please drive carefully!

Sitting can be deadly - get on your feet and move In the old days, smoking was killing people but no one said a word about it.

48-60 hours per week is good for you, I’ve got some bad news. Plus I can show you proof of it. With so many overweight, miserable, depressed people slugging away every day in similar sedentary jobs, it’s a road that leads to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, back pain and cancer.

Researchers say that “sitting is the new smoking�. They have proven that a job where you sit a minimum of six hours/day is seriously detrimental to your health. The risk increases with every two hours sitting after the first six hours. Sitting for one hour per day shaves 21 minutes off your life expectancy.

Whether its sitting in a highway truck, at a desk, or on a dozer, it doesn’t matter.

day. If you don’t have the energy to do some pushups, body weight squats, toe touches or some light stretching during your breaks, simply standing up will help you. Just get up off that seat and stand during your breaks. If your job involves sitting at a desk, there are standing desk options.

Another thing that helps immensely is doing a light workout before heading off to work. This will increase your metabolism for the duration of day. I know it’s hard getting up that early, but it will make you feel better throughout the day. Find something that is easy for you and enjoyable. It could be to go for a half hour walk or light jog, an easy core workout, or some strength training. Trust me, once it becomes a routine for you it will be easy.

Whether you believe in evolution or not, humans were not designed to sit. We are originally nomadic people. We are supposed to move, all day long, to hunt and gather for our food. We used to literally run down our food to catch them so we could eat. Heck, we didn’t even sit to use the washroom like we do now.

But like I said, we still have a job to do, and that is to provide for our families, this will never change, and it will probably be in a career we don’t enjoy doing.

Taking the time to do some metabolismboosting exercising throughout the day can make a huge difference.

Toys for Joys is collecting toys for Christmas

by Wendy Coomber Santa will be collecting toys this Christmas at a special Toys for Joys breakfast at the Grand Central Station restaurant in Ashcroft on Nov. 29.

Toys for Joys “is a community effort to get toys into homes where children might otherwise not get gifts for Christmas,” says Jess Turnball.

The Grand Central Station will be hosting a pancake breakfast with Santa on Nov. 29 from 9 am to noon. Bring an unwrapped toy for girls and boys, age 0-14, with a value of $5 and upwards and receive a free pancake breakfast.

Turnball suggests toys that are

popular among children - “Whatever you can afford.”

“I’m just so excited that it’s happening in a restaurant again,” she says. “It’s more personal. You get to go out and have breakfast with friends and family.”

Turnball was part of a group of volunteers who started the program in 2009 with the South Cariboo Elizabeth Fry Society. The breakfast was held at Chris Under The Bridge restaurant until 2012. The breakfasts ceased afterthe restaurant closed but toy collection continued.

Toys or cash, says Turnball. The toys are always used - if not in the year they are collected, then in the following year.

Restaurant staff and staff from the E Fry Society will be donating their time to cook and The Ashcroft & District Lions Club serve breakfast on Nov. 29. would like to thank the following sponsors

for their donations and support for our annual functions. Without your continued support throughout the year we would not be able to provide our community with successful events like the Skip Run, Wellness and Golf Tournament.

If you miss the breakfast, you can still drop off a donated toy or cash donation at either the restaurant of the E Fry office on Bancroft.

Toys for Joys is intended for families with children in need in the communities of Ashcroft, Ashcroft Indian Band, Cache Creek, Bonaparte Indian Band, Boston Flats, Clinton, Logan Lake, Spences Bridge and Walhachin.

Guardians must fill out an application for a toy in person at the E Fry office at 601 Bancroft St. in Ashcroft beginning now and going until Friday Dec. 11. Gifts are picked up in person on Dec. 18.

In case you’re wondering what’s hot in the toy department this year, more than 500 families participated in the fourth annual Walmart Toy Testers event held in Toronto recently. Their top 20 toy picks for 2015 are:

From the Commanding Officer’s Desk: The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets have and continues to offer the most dynamic youth program free of charge.

The hands-on activities, exciting challenges and leadership opportunities for Sea Cadets are many. We offer a variety of activities on and off the water. During the school year cadets learn about seamanship, marksmanship, sailing, and drill. We also do monthly sports and fitness nights.

Locally the cadets have organized and fund raised trips to Halifax,Victoria, Edmonton, and Portland. Selected senior cadets have the opportunity to attend international exchanges such as Hawaii and England and compete in annual sailing regattas. They also get to do summer training at no cost. Travel, accommodations, meals and uniforms ALL paid for.

Cadets parade Thursday nights from 6:00pm to 8:30pm at Desert Sands Community School. We currently have about 20 cadets and it would be great to see more youth; ages 12 to 18 come out and check us out.

The Legion holds the sacred trust of ensuring the tradition of Remembrance is observed by Canadians every year at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

This tradition dates back to the First World War when the guns fell silent, marking the end of military conflict and the Remembrance of those who would never return home. The National Poppy and Remembrance Campaign raise funds for veterans and their families, the new military and others who are disadvantaged.

This year, your donation has never been more important. A new generation of Veterans is coming home and turning to the Legion for housing, career transition counselling and trauma relief. And we will be there, with your support! Wear a poppy. Give generously.

During this year’s Poppy Campaign you can even give on your cell phone! Text POPPY to 20222 to donate $5 to the Legion’s Poppy Funds in BC and Yukon.

It is with great sadness that the family of William “Foogie” Aie announce his sudden passing in Kamloops on October 27, 2015. Foogie passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital with his loving family by his side.

William is survived by his dedicated and loving wife Chui Chu of 52 years and their sons: Stanley (Pam), Bradley (Tanis), Edwin (Megan) and Steven (Heather) and grandchildren: Griffin, Hayden, Allison, Jacob and Michaela.

William was born May 22, 1935 and grew up in Ashcroft.

He was the 5th of eight children and is predeceased by his parents Wong Du Dai Aie and You How Lim Aie and his sisters Betsy and Lillian and his brother Edward. He is survived by siblings Betty Wong, Loyd (Renee) Wong, Renay (Cort) Larsen and Jerry Aie. He also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

He worked at the local sawmill and also worked in his sister’s restaurant in Edmonton before joining Bethlehem Copper in April of 1963. He enjoyed many fishing adventures with his family and friends throughout the years. He was employed with Highland Valley Copper (Bethlehem Copper) as an electrician where after 36 years of service he retired in 1999. In his retirement he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He also enjoyed gardening and spending quality time with his grandchildren. He will be remembered for his laughter, laid back nature, and devotion to his family.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Ashcroft & District Health Care Auxiliary would be appreciated.

A celebration of life will take place at 1:00 pm Saturday November 7, 2015 at the Ashcroft Community Hall at 409 Bancroft Street in Ashcroft, B.C.

Maybe she’s born with it

When I graduated high school I was voted “Most Casual” by the year book committee and labeled as such in the school’s hard covered annual.

I took that as a more polite way to describe “Biggest Slob.”

I never wore a stitch of make up or learned how to style my hair in my youth.

I wanted to, but after a few failed attempts at improving my appearance with my mom’s cosmetics and plastic hair rollers I gave up. My typical look in high school consisted of a pair of bike leggings, an unflattering over sized t-shirt or hoodie and my hair pulled back in a messy ponytail.

A fashion plate I was not.

The opposite of that, my daughter seemed born with a sense of style. Even as a toddler she was objecting to certain outfits and pulling out ones she preferred from her dresser. As she got older that interest in clothing grew and she soon became en-

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com thralled with beauty products as well. She and her friends would spend hours polishing their nails, applying make-up, styling their hair and putting together ensembles.

They’d host fashion shows, strutting up and down our hallway in my high heels while I took pictures of their different creations. They’d also play “beauty salon” alternating between stylist and customer.

I’ve sat in Daisy’s make up chair on many occasions over the years and with the exception of the times when she was three when I’d end up with my lips outlined like a clown, too much blush on my cheeks and bright

pink nail polish up to my knuckles, I’d usually end up looking quite presentable.

Now that she’s 12 her delight in makeup and hair has intensified. I came home last week and the closet in her bedroom that I’d converted into a homework nook with a desk had been modified to a make-up station reminiscent of what’s seen in the cosmetics section of a department store.

She’d moved all her stationary supplies to a hutch inside her room and set up her desk with her hair tools, beauty products, and a Hollywood free standing mirror she’d received as a present.

“I never do my

homework in here anyway,” she explained. “This makes more sense since I like to sit while I’m putting on my face and there’s no room to do that in my little bathroom.”

Putting on her face means different things at different times. In the morning before school it’s just mascara, eyebrow shaping and clear chapstick. After school or on the weekend it could be many different looks as she and her friends experiment with a variety of techniques and appearances they’ve learned from YouTube. For years she’s wanted to be a make-up artist and she’s got a talent and interest for it that I don’t.

It’s gotten to the point that if I wanted to go to an event with an elegant evening look I would definitely ask for her assistance. I tried doing my own “smoky eyes” once many years ago and ended up looking like a raccoon.

November • Week 2 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things go well in your love life this week, especially after you let go of the reins for a little while. You will be surprised at what comes when you accept change.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Resist the urge to feel slighted when others don’t pay you the attention you think you deserve, Taurus.

Your efforts are being noticed, and they will pay dividends in the long run.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Put your worries aside, Gemini. This week you will be floating on a cloud. Something special comes your way, and the next week should be filled with laughter.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t allow indecision to keep you from your ultimate goal this week, Cancer. Do your best to keep an open mind and have confidence in your ability to make the right call.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You are spurred on by other people’s energy this week, Leo. The more social engagements you can set up the better off you will be. Host a party or enjoy a night on the town.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, stay busy this week with tasks that keep your mind occupied. You can use a few pressure-free days, and staying busy will prevent you from worrying.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Things may reach a critical point this week, Libra. How you react in tough situations will give others a good indication of how reliable you can be.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, take a few deep breaths when confronted with an issue. Taking a step back can provide a new perspective that can help you solve a problem that’s puzzled you to this point.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Now is a great time to tell family members that you love them, Sagittarius. Open up your heart and share your feelings. You’re bound to feel better for having done so.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, connect with creative people this week and delve into projects that inspire your own creative energy. Even though you’re being crafty, you still will be productive.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 This is a good week to make a bold move, Aquarius. Keeping your feelings inside will not produce results. Take action and you will be glad you did.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Tasks may need a little more attention this week, Pisces. If things seem to take a bit longer, exercise patience and you will solve the problem.

An old friend recently criticized my concession of such a “superficial pursuit that sexualized and demeaned all females.” That wasn’t an unfamiliar notion as I have been puzzled and annoyed by the seeming assumption that the natural faces of women aren’t good enough and require face paint in order to look presentable.

Over the years I’ve lightened up about that. Daisy’s innate love for beautifying transcends any irrita-

tion I have with the multi billion dollar cosmetic industry, and I have come to regard it more as an art form that holds a great deal of entertainment value for my daughter and her friends and millions of others.

Daisy’s posse say they don’t feel it’s necessary to wear make-up and some are often seen without it.

They’re all smart, creative individuals involved in competitive activities such

as fastball, gymnastics, soccer, dance, and school sports. I don’t see the harm in them having fun with make-up as long as it’s appropriate outside the home. In our house they can do whatever they want with their appearance. The freedom of creative expression is good, even if it means choosing to look like the biggest slob.

“With the market now closed for another season, we would like to thank all the shoppers, vendors, performers and volunteers that made this year fun and delicious,” he added.

There is no question that the Lytton Farmer’s market is a community hub that builds social, cultural and nutritional connections.

Many thanks to Gordon Murray and the many other volunteers who create a remarkable venue that unites and benefits our entire community.

Volunteers assist local seniors Better at Home hosted a dinner on Oct. 26 to express appreciation for its volunteers, housekeepers, clients and advisory board members. Everyone enjoyed the dinner at the Legion, prepared and served by the Ladies Auxiliary.

Better at Home’s amazing volunteers give their time and show a tremendous amount of caring towards their clients; the program’s outstanding Housekeepers go above and beyond any expectation of them for their clients and of course the BAH advisory board members volunteer their time to assist with decisions and help out in improving and providing recommendations for the program.

Better at Home came to AshcroftCache Creek on Dec. 1, 2013 through the Ashcroft & District Lions Club who sponsored it. Sandy Williams was hired as Program Co-ordinator and got the program up and running. She retired from the program in April 2015.

Although BAH runs in many communities, they all have different needs and figuring out what works and doesn’t work is very challenging. The federal government gives the money to the United Way of the Lower Mainland to operate this program, and they give the funding to a non-profit organization.

Garry Limpright, chair of the Oncore

Seniors Society of Kamloops, general manager for programs and services Keith Bonnah and board member Mona Murray were also in attendance at the dinner.

The group has provided assistance to Program Co-ordinator Nancy Kendall who took over from Williams. In particular, Oncore board member Jay Burgomaster gave a great deal of his time and expertise.

Better at Home tracks the services it provides as “service moments”. For example, one hour of housekeeping is a service moment. A drive to the doctor’s is also a service moment. From April 1 to Sept. 30, BAH has provided for 31 shopping service moments, 51 yard work service moments, 92 visitation service moments, 137 transportation service moments, and 283 housekeeping service

moments.

A very special mention to ladies of the Royal Purple who recently very generously donated $1,000.

Better at Home will be moving the office location to 310A Railway Ave later this year. Thank you to Cindy Adamski who facilitated this with KelRockden.

They are providing a very nice office at a great rate for our non-profit organization.

BAH clients, volunteers and housekeepers who would like to attend WRAPS’ performance of “My Fair Lady” on Sunday, Nov. 22 at 2pm in the former Ashcroft Elementary School are asked to contact the office so rides can be arranged for those who cannot drive.

Contact BAH Tuesday through Thursday at 250-453-9911 to become a client or a volunteer.

river has always posed at this point: canoeists rarely ventured along it, only one paddlewheeler made it through successfully, and even railroads and the highway have battled to make their way past the area.

“Cariboo Wagon Road” (date unknown), four miles north of Yale, notes that construction of the Cariboo Wagon Road from Yale to Barkerville (1861–3) was one of the most difficult building jobs undertaken in the British Empire, while “Historic Yale” (date unknown), just south of town, records Yale’s importance as a fur post, gold-rush town, head of the Wagon Road, and CPR construction boomtown. “Yale Convention” (1970) commemorates the 1868 meeting which brought 26 delegates from around the then-colony to Yale for a meeting to help raise support for the idea of confederation with Canada, as a way of dealing with the soaring debt that was gripping the Colony.

Over the years many of the signs have deteriorated, and while some have clearly been replaced (the one near Fort Fraser marking the Grand Trunk Pacific last spike in 1914 looks much worse in a 1979 photo in McGill’s book than it did this past summer when I visited), Heritage BC, in partnership with the Heritage Branch of the provincial government, has undertaken a project to locate and assess the Stop of Interest signs. Members of the public are invited to fill in an online form about any signs in their area, and include a recent photo if possible. Submissions are being accepted until Dec. 18; for details go to http:// www.heritagebc.ca .
