Local youths off to BC Games

Thank goodness for public swimming pools The public swimming pool quickly became the most popular place in Ashcroft as temperatures soared into the 30s last week. Both children and adults took advantage of the refreshing water.

Gabriele Johannsson of Ashcroft and Adam Newman of Cache Creek will be among 2,300 athletes at this year’s BC Summer Games in Surrey. Johannsson and Newman are also members of the 347 Royal Canadian Se Cadets Corps Avenger and are entered in the sailing competition. Johannsson is sailing with Emily Roberts from Heffley Creek and Newman’s teammate is Riis Ingalis from Kamloops. Two-member teams compete in one-person racing dinghys with sails. Every competitor must be a member of a yacht or sailing club recognized by the C.Y.A. and BC Sailing Association. The BC Summer Games run from July 19 to July 22 in Surrey, with the sailing event taking place at Blackie Spit in White Rock. Game requirements limit how many teams are admitted from each zone, making it impossible for the sailing event to be loaded with athletes from only one part of the province. Sailing has been an Olympic sport since 1912. Currently there are 11 Olympic classes with both single-handed and double-handed boats. The divisions included in the BC Summer Games are Optimist Dinghy (which is a small pram used worldwide for young sailors to learn racing), Laser Radial and Laser Classes, and the two person 420 Dinghy. Athletes will compete in two age categories, Optimist (under 15) and Youth (under 19). As of Thursday, July 5, there were 86 River City athletes and coaches listed as Zone 2 (Thompson Okanagan) members on the B.C. Games website. For the full list, go to www.bcgames.net. “With an average athlete age of just over 13 years, the B.C. Games are an important step for athletes toward provincial and national-team programs,” a Games press release said. Joining 2,300 athletes will be 474 coaches and 297 technical officials. Thirteen venues across Surrey will host the Games, which will feature 20 sports, from baseball, golf and lacrosse to equestrian, inline hockey and triathalon. A total of 3,500 local volunteers will be required to stage the Games, which are expected to have an economic impact of approximately $2.5 million in direct spending by games participants, spectators, volunteers and organizers.

AT YOUR SERVICE

Last week Central Interior Traffic Services officers issued seven tickets for excessive speeds, most of them at the bottom of Jackass Mountain on Hwy 1. Excessive speed tickets range from $368 for 41-60 kph over the posted speed limit, to $483 for over 60 kph. A seven-day vehicle impoundment in addition to the fine is part of the excessive speed penalty; RCMP can seize and resell a vehicle being driven over 60 kph. On Hwy 1 just south of Cache Creek, officers stopped a 2009 Suzuki Hayabusa travelling at 161 kph in the 100 kph zone. The 25 year old Sayward man was given a ticket for excessive speed and his motorcycle was impounded for seven days. On Hwy 1 at the bottom of Jackass Mountain, a 2008 Ford F150 driven by 25 year old Abbotsford man was stopped for travelling at 150 kph in the 90 zone. In the same place, a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am driven by a 25 year old Vancouver man was stopped for travelling at 145 kph in the 90 kph zone. Also on Hwy 1 at the bottom of Jackass Mountain, a 2011 Kia Forte driven by a 30 year old Abbotsford man was stopped for travelling at 146 kph in the 90 kph zone. In the same area, a 22 year old West Vancouver man driving a Kia Optima was stopped for travelling at 142 kph in the

90 kph zone. The man’s license indicated that he was also a New driver. In the same place, a 38 year old Mission man driving a 2011 Ford F150 was stopped for travelling at 139 kph in the 90 kph zone. Lastly, in the very same spot - the bottom of Jackass Mountain on Hwy 1, police stopped a rented 2013 Ford Mustang convertible driven by a 30 year old man from Alberton, Ontario who was travelling at 192 kph in the 90 kph zone and passing on the double solid line. All drivers were issued excessive speed tickets and their vehicles were towed and impounded for seven days.

Mazar competes for national Miss Teen Sixteen year old Jessica Mazar of Ashcroft is hoping for a shot at the title. She wants to be Miss Teen Canada Globe 2012. Mazar was selected last October to represent Ashcroft and southern BC at the national level, and is excitedly looking forJessica Mazar ward to the pageant in Toronto this October. She is still looking for sponsors to help her get there. Revelations Hair Design in Ashcroft has sponsored her by helping with her hair and makeup, she said, but she’s still trying to raise the funds for her air fare, $3,000 entrance fee and other odds and ends. “Just getting this was really exciting,” she said. “I wanted to see if I could do it, and I could.” Mazar says she has her heart set on modelling, and she thinks participating in the pageant will help give her the exposure she needs as well as a big dose of self confidence. She says her parents have been really supportive of her involvement with the beauty pageant, and have helped her as much as they can. Now she’s asking the community to step in and help her raise the rest of the money she needs. People, either individuals or businesses, can contact her to find out how they can be of assistance, or just to ask her about the pageant. Miss Canada Globe Productions was founded in May 2000 to restore the glamour of pageants with a stronger focus on education and equality. Pageant winners can compete internationally. Visit www.misscanada.tv/ for more information on Miss Canada Globe pageants.

Summer food drive helps restock shelves “Thank you to everyone who was able to make a donation to the June 30 Food Drive,” says E. Fry manager Denise Fiddick. “We could not have done the food drive without the Cadets, Cadet Officers and Cadet Helpers.” The South Cariboo Elizabeth Fry Society Ashcroft & Area Food Bank (serving Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Clinton, Spences Bridge and surrounding areas) provides food to 50 to 65 families on any given food bank. Three-quarters of our families in need of food are 55 and over. Donations of food or cash are always welcome. (Above) E. Fry worker Yoriko Susanj with some of the recent drive’s donations.

New geocache sites introduced in Phase 2 Geocachers and other members of the public kicked off the second phase of Gold Country’s GeoTourism program in Ashcroft on June 30 with speeches, grab bags, cookies and 12 new Ashcroft and Cache Creek sites to explore. The Gold Country GeoTourism program was

first released in 2009 and since then has drawn visitors from near and far, from Kamloops to friendly geocachers from overseas. In 2012, Gold Country has added 72 new sites to its GeoTourism program. Phase 2 sites steer the geocachers towards local film sites, interesting views and geo-

logical formations, “Rails and Trails”, agriculture and settlers and pioneers. A book with all 72 Phase 2 caches will be published in English and French in the Fall. Sites can also now be logged as “found” on Geocaching.com. GCCS Marketing Manager Terri Hadwin told those at the June 30 launch: “Geocaching is a worldwide game and by providing our region with one of the highest quality GeoTourism programs available, we are bringing in visitors that are geocache enthusiasts. Geocaching.com is the base geocaching website and we are the first Canadian GeoTour published on that site, that speaks volumes for how well established we are.” “This program is fun and educational,” said Marcie Down, Program Coordinator. “It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and to see the different areas that make up this diverse region. There is something for everyone, from the train enthusiast to the rock hound, to the beginner geocacher right to the avid geocacher. We have some easier to find caches and some more challenging ones. We have had a wonderful group of people help

us with this second Phase and I look forward to all of our upcoming launches and to meeting those who enjoy this unique sport.” Twelve lucky people claimed a stunning FirstTo-Find prize, a collectable GeoCoin. Vida Harris, a First-To-Find of two new release caches, said, “I love the program as is takes me and my family to places that we otherwise would not explore... I love the fact that the program is child friendly and teaches us about local history.” “I like the hikes and trading stuff!” added her 7 year old son, Colton. The next launch will take place in Merritt on July 13, followed by Lillooet on July 21, Logan Lake Aug. 4, Clinton Aug. 26 and Lytton on Aug. 31. Phase 2 was made possible by the funding support of Western Economic Diversification, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust, Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition, Thompson Nicola Regional District and our communities.

Garden gnomes have deserted me I thought I was doing well. Finding the occasional block of a few hours not taken up by my seven-day-aweek job here at The Journal, I managed to not only dig up half of my backyard this Spring (in between the raindrops), but also plant a few vegetables in the garden spot. Just in time for the heat to arrive after one last deluge of rain. The turnips are already up. I just have to keep it all from frying to a crisp now. With the help of my neighbour’s rototiller, I also took care of the grass and dandelions where I hope to put patio blocks down to keep the firepit safe and level. Golly, I was just going great guns in the backyard, finally getting around the projects that I’ve been talking about for the past 10 years. I wasn’t looking for a medal or anything: a cold beer after an hour’s work in the sun is its own reward. Plus, I have at least 30 minutes less grass to cut every week! So, I was feeling pretty good, especially after seeing those two rows of tiny little green turnip seedlings. It makes having to look at the forest of weeds in my front yard a little easier to ignore. Until Saturday afternoon when neighbour Shirley Meier says to me: “So Wendy, you were doing so well with your front yard. What happened?” Thank you Shirley, for that brutal return to reality. Have I mentioned that I am surrounded by neighbours with beautiful lawns? I may have one two someday when I retire. As I headed out the door this morning at 7 am to go to work, some of them were already outside trimming the verge. Alas, the weeds by the sidewalk in my front yard are already turning into small trees that grow with seemingly no need for moisture. They come back every year, no matter how often I get rid of them. What is it with weeds around here? I thought we had garden gnomes to take care of this sort of thing. Only the start of July and I’m already falling behind in the yard and garden department. As long as I’m keeping up with the weeds, I’ll consider that a victory.

Doctors leave and also come Open Letter to the Citizens of Ashcroft and Area, Re: Health Care in Ashcroft Once again I would like to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on health care in Ashcroft and in addition settle some of the rumours that seem to be going around. Firstly, Council had a presentation by Jennifer Thur and Bryan Redford from Interior Health. These individuals attended the Committee of the Whole meeting on May 28 and provided updates and information on a number of items. We value these visits as they provide an opportunity to ask questions and strengthen our working relationship. One of the most talked about issues at the moment is the fact that the Emergency Room sched-

There are a number of reasons for this but mainly the feedback indicated that many people were not seeing the ad or keeping a copy of it. Also, many times the ad would be outdated by the time it was printed. The public can always call 254-453-2211 and select Option 7 to determine if the ER is open and access the most current schedule. This schedule is also available on the Interior Health website and the Village’s website. In the case of a life threatening emergency please call 9-1-1, BC Ambulance will respond and will be aware of the nearest available ER. Many of you have likely heard that Dr. Khan will be leaving Ashcroft by the end of the year however, he has indicated that he may come back

as a locum from time to time. Dr. Kitshoff has been working tirelessly recruiting two doctors from South Africa. These doctors have had provisional offers of employment and IH is now waiting for all of the paper work to be completed. As the documentation can be lengthy we have not been able to determine arrival dates but will keep everyone informed. In the interim IH is ramping up their efforts to obtain maximum locum coverage. The REEF program continues to generate a lot of discussion. I would like to clarify that it is not the intention to permanently reduce the hours of operation for the ER but to take advantage of the additional funding offered under the REEF program the posted ER hours must be met.

Locums are recruited whenever possible however as with many other professions there are more available opportunities than there are people to fill them and we will have times when there are no locums available. Once again I would like to stress that doctors are private businessmen and they are within their rights to establish their hours of work. IH cannot order them to work weekends or afterhours to provide ER coverage. While it does not replace having an ER open, the air transport team and helicopter have been an invaluable tool and have been used many times. Council has written to IH advising that we have concerns regarding the helicopter landing in the parking lot and have See LETTERS on p. 9

Summer music next to the river, under the stars Celtic avour at Music in the Park’on July 11

SERVING YOU

Ashcroft summers wouldn’t be the same without Music in the Park, brought to you by the folks of Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society. The Society presents more Music in the Park on Wednesday, July 11 at 7 pm. Bring your favourite lawn chair or blanket. Grab a bag of popcorn, a hot dog, or an iced tea, and enjoy some great music with your friends and family. The washrooms are open until 9 pm Under the Gazebo this week is Celtic duo Little House. They’re an acoustic duo based in southwestern Nova Scotia, specializing in original instrumental compositions with a Celtic flavour. Charlie Wilson plays Irish flute and whistles, and Jude Pelley plays guitars, mandolin, and Appalachian dulcimer. Their music is atmospheric, rich, and complex, drawing on traditional and contemporary influences. Charlie has a background in music, theatre, and aerial dance; her other interests include Aikido and organic farming. Jude has worked with the bluegrass band Exit 13 and Juno-winner Amelia Curran. Aside from music, his interests run the gamut from gardening to shockingly rough carpentry. Get your dancing shoes on for Jungal on Wednesday July 25th. These gals know how to have fun! These three powerful young women create their own brand of Australian-flavoured indie roots music blended with folk, soul, and rock. It’ll be a great night to party down with Jungal and local opening act the Ghengis Gandhis, who play a unique sound that’s grown from the desert, and will go straight into your ears, minds, and hearts. The WRAP Society hopes you enjoy the music all summer long! Look for posters around town and take home one of the small handouts available at local retailers. Also, why not check out www.windingriversarts.ca for info on all of the upcoming artists and their music.

Some of the attractions they visited were Fort Rodd Hill, Fisgaard Lighthouse, Albert Head Naval Base, the Parliament Buildings, Royal B.C. Museum, Centre of the Universe Observatory, Butchart Gardens, and the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre. One of the students’ favourite activities was beachcombing for shells, rocks, and crabs.

Marilyn Marta and Ina Gory

Sisters ďŹ nish historic ride The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer event held on June 16-17 raised $11.2 million as 3,011 riders on bicycles rode from Vancouver to Seattle participating in the 4th annual Ride in British Columbia. This turned out to be the largest cyclling fundraiser in BC history, setting fundraising and participation records for the BC Cancer Foundation. Funds raised support breakthrough research and enhancements to patient care at the BC Cancer Agency. To think that my sister Marilyn and I were part of this amazing event! We each rode a total of 240 km in two days from Cloverdale (a Vancouver suburb) to Bothell, Washington (a Seattle subburb). We would like to sincerely thank everyone again who supported our Ride to Conquer Cancer. With your donations we were able to proudly donate a total of $8689 to the BC Cancer Foundation. This was truly a “healingâ€? ride for both of us and we thank you again.

ast week I wrote about my junk food addiction and I knew when I wrote that column that it would hit home for some readers and not register at all with others. I also knew I’d get a lot of advice from people about how to lose weight, which I gratefully accepted. While many of the suggestions I received were excellent and ones I will look into, I actually do know a little something about how to lose weight and have been successful at doing so many times. What I’m far less knowledgeable about is how to conquer my self-sabotaging ways which lead me back to a place of eventually feeling heavy and unfit again.

If there’s a magic potion for that, I’m in, but after decades of trying almost every diet solution out there, I’m quite convinced there isn’t a simple or easy cure for selfdestruction. I’m no psychiatrist, but I believe that conquering that kind of behaviour, and unhealthy addictions in general, has more to do with our minds and our own feelings of self worth than anything else. Yes, consuming healthy foods will assist with a healthier mindset, which is why I’m finally eating clean, drinking eight waters a day and exercising when I can. I’m also recording everything I consume at MyFitnessPal.com because I believe that logging a

that I have this overwhelming urge to share more than I already do in my weekly newspaper columns. There’s something about blogging that’s different than column writing and I guess the biggest difference is the lack of rules that apply when you’re writing online. I can be as brief or as lengthy as I wish and I can write about whatever topic interests me in that moment with little regard to appealing to the masses. The definition of a blog according to the Urban Dictionary on the internet is this: A meandering, blatantly uninteresting online diary that gives the author the illusion that people are interested in their stupid, pathetic life. With a description as wonderful as that, who wouldn’t want to spend their valuable time blogging? Now if I could only figure out a way to blog and jog simultaneously.

requested that the development of a proper helipad be brought forward as a high priority. Dr. Bolan (the podiatrist) and other allied health professionals were asked to move their practices from the health care site and this move was an Interior Health decision for a number of reasons but mainly so that all IH sites were operating under the same guidelines. A new policy is being drafted and once it is in place these services may be reinstated, only time will tell. The local IH staff were not pleased that these changes had to take place but unfortunately they did not have the authority to override the decision. IH has confirmed that the imaging/xray and lab departments are stable and there are no plans to change these services. Also the convalescent beds are still available and again there are no plans to alter this service. Council and I continue to meet with IH representatives on a regular basis and while the situation is not ideal our concerns are being heard. By working together we can nurture a positive climate so that doctors will continue to show an interest in coming to Ashcroft. Jennifer Thur is on site on a regular basis and if anyone has any questions or wishes to have issues clarified she is open to meeting with residents. You may make an appointment to see her by calling her assistant, Tricia Hohn-Roberts at 250453-1903 or via email at Tricia.Hohn@interiorhealth.ca LETTERS from p. 4

DDI brand had the right idea

an all-encompassing umbrella (with descriptive arm-waving) that covers a whole range of what it takes to be healthy. Great - a dying hospital and a massage business combined with a health food store. The woman from flair was met with indifference from the rodeo association writing them off as a bunch of Cowboys, not realizing that this was a group of local civic minded-citizens. I didn’t hear anything about this new company until after the signs were up. She had a flow chart explaining wellness - none of which stood out as anything unique. The signs on the highway are amateurish and very poorly put together. They should be removed as they are an embarrassment to our town. Flair charged $26,000+ for this new age touch-feely buzz word and question provoking logo. The funding came from Northern Development Initiative - I think Federal grants. Some branding ambassadors refused to sign the survey. The survey was very impartial - an exercise in grass roots democracy which is supposed to keep a minority from dictating to a majority. Mayor Anderson and councilor Kormendy said that perhaps there should have been more public input. The remaining councilors are on the branding commit-

tee. The large percentage in disagreement calls for further action from Mayor and council - perhaps a referendum. As Deb Arnott stated at the meeting, a lot of volunteer work went into this process and kudos to them, however misguided. Another quote from DDI was “The narrower the focus, the stronger your success will be”. My take on this is that wellness is totally inappropriate description for Ashcroft and that it should be scrapped in favour of the recommendations of the first branding company. Ray Bewza Ashcroft

Dear Editor The survey on agree or disagree with the wellness brand for Ashcroft was presented to Mayor and council with 76 per cent of 223 signatures in disagreement, 15 per cent agree, and nine per cent undecided. A group of branding ambassadors were also there which made for some lively discussion. There were two companies involved in this process. After going to a meeting with the first company, DDI, I felt we were being steered in a good direction towards a western theme. He stressed in his presentation “You must jettison the generic” and “If your brand stands for everything, then you stand for nothing”. We were complimented on the park and museum but there was a long list to improve curb appeal for Ashcroft. Very little was done. Their fee was $16,000+.

Ashcroft Community in Bloom members took on the task of compiling a tree inventory for all the parks and cemeteries in Ashcroft this Spring. The tree inventory is a useful management tool for the Village as it details how many trees are at each location, the variety of the trees and their condition. The inventory will help with future planning and current maintenance. Judges over the past three to four years have all inquired about the existence of a tree inventory in the Village and the need for one; so, this year, the Communities in Bloom group decided it was time to put one together. It was a very enlightening exercise for the members. While some were quite familiar with the types of trees others were not and as a result were able to learn that much more. We discovered that some of our parks, particularly the older ones, had predominately the same type of trees and they tended to be quite common varieties such as elms, poplars, cottonwoods and maples. Probably chosen for their commonality as much as for their ease and rate of growth, they are also some of the more messy or nuisance types of trees. In the newer parks, we found more variety in the types of trees and also more thought The Tuohey house on Brink St. was one of the recipients of Ashcroft Communities in Bloom’s Outstanding Gardens Awards. CiB is asking for help with downtown cleanup prior to the judges visit. Meet July 10 at 7 p.m. in front of the Ashcroft Bakery. Bring gloves. Garbage bags will be provided.

Good Luck!
