Ashcroft may lose Sea Cadets
For over 10 years, Ashcroft and Cache Creek have enjoyed a corps of sea cadets, butorps organizers have been told by the Department of National Defence, which sponsors the cadet program, that they need to get their numbers up by the end of the year or lose the program altogether. Gerry Sask has been with the cadets since the started in Ashcroft in 2002. He said the numbers requirement has been there for a while, but numbers have been dropping. DND wants 30, but they’re willing to give Ashcroft a pass if they have 15 members. Earlier this year they were down to seven. Now they’re back up to 10. Sask says he’s been talking to people, pounding on schools and spending hours on the phone talking to parents. It’s earned him three new cadets and he’s hoping for more. There’s a lot of misunderstanding about cadets, says Major Rob Truscott. Truscott grew up in Ashcroft and has been in the military for the last 20 years. He was never a cadet, but he did join the local scouts program while still a teen. A lot of people equate cadets with the military, he said, and they think military is exclusively about war. “We don’t push cadets into joining the military,” said Sask. Education comes first, he says. Students in grades 10-12 can earn extra credits towards their diploma through cadets. Most parents aren’t aware of this, he says. Truscott says another thing that might scare parents away is the though of paying for cadet activities. Everything is paid for, he said. There are zero costs. “The cadet program offers a lot of (free) opportunities,” said Sask. “Sailing weekends, summer camps, training for safe use of rifles, competitions...” He said there’s a perception that cadets was all about marching and being yelled at. We don’t do that, he said - it’s considered bullying. Truscott suggested that anyone wanting to know more about cadets come out for a training night and see what it’s all about. More kids means a more diversified program, he said. Although kids can start at age 12, they can also start at anytime during the program. “Small town parents need something to put their kids into,” he said. If you’re interesting in hearing more about cadets, phone Gerry at 457-5309.

A very special RCMP awards presentation was held last week in Kelowna, honoring a specific group of spouses of RCMP police officers. The Unpaid Second Man award was created in 2010, with over 450 RCMP wives from across Canada having received the award to date with 168 of those in BC. On Thursday Nov. 7, the Southeast District RCMP along with the RCMP Veterans Association held an awards presentation, formally recognizing the role played by the spouses of RCMP police officers, those who with their husband were posted to one or two man RCMP detachments in small isolated communities across Canada. The Unpaid Second Man award acknowledges the support and voluntary duties that they provided to the RCMP and the communities in which they and their families were posted to. Throughout the 50’s and up into the 80’s, many of these isolated posts had members

Minister rejects ALR news report
by Tom Fletcher Black Press / VICTORIA – News reports suggesting the B.C. government is considering dismantling the Agricultural Land Commission are not accurate, the minister in charge of the government’s “core review” says. A plan outlined in documents leaked to the media last week is “so secret that I don’t even know about it myself,” Energy Minister Bill Bennett said in an interview. “We’re not even considering blowing up the ALC, or bringing it inside government.” Bennett said agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development. Bennett refused to comment on the suggestion that the province could be divided into two zones with different processes. But he said he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obviously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve. Part of the problem has been a lack of funding to the commission, Bennett said. The current budget adds $4 million to the commission’s budget over three years. “It’s not all their fault, it’s the way the legislation is written, it’s the way their policies have developed,” Bennett said. “All of those things add up to a lot of questionable decisions being made, and certainly not in areas where they have good agricultural land like Richmond and south Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan.” Bennett also rejected the suggestion that the Oil and Gas Commission would overrule the ALC on decisions in B.C.’s northeast. The OGC already has some authority on land use, and its role in the review is “tiny,” he said. “Certainly it’s disturbing if they’re throwing it out the window,” said Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters. She said some ALR boundaries need adjustment, but beyond that, her main concerns are that the commission has been underfunded to do its job and that more effort is needed to help support the viability of farming. “It has problems, but it has its place,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said of the ALR. “It protects us from ourselves.”

Shila Natha with her prize from Scott’s Miracle Grow
Each year, the Ashcroft Communities in Bloom committee enters two local resident’s gardens into the Scotts Miracle Gro contest, which is held in conjunction with the National Communities in Bloom competition. Scotts is a major sponsor for the Communities
in Bloom program. The contest has two categories: a residential flower garden and a residential edible (vegetable) garden, and the winners are announced at the annual National Communities in Bloom symposium and awards. Entries for the con-
test are received from all across Canada, so there is some rather stiff competition. We were very delighted this year when Ashcroft’s entry in the edible garden category was announced as a winner. Congratulations to Shila Natha! Her neat, tidy vegetable garden featured several types of vegetables that you would expect to find together with some rather unusual ones. Several raised beds contained rows of plants requiring a longer growing season, interplanted with others requiring a short season. She also planted directly into the ground and used separate pots for her more unusual varieties. Shila received a lovely gift bag filled with garden tools and a variety of Scott’s products valued at over $100. Andrea Walker

Services won’t be offered forever The Ashcroft area is faced with losing another service because of low numbers of users. This time it’s our Cadet corps. This week the adult members of the cadets gave me the bad news, and it’s every bit as bad as losing a doctor or one of our other major services. Our communities already have little in the way or organized youth activities to offer, leading to the constant complaint that “there’s nothing for kids to do.” Actually, there’s plenty. But you have to use it! It’s not going to come knocking on your door, inviting you to join. Well, maybe in this case, it might. Cadet staff are desperately looking for more members before the government pulls the funding plug. And parents, I have to tell you that the cadets offer you a sweet deal: unlike most of the other youth groups around town, you don’t pay a cent. Everything is provided - including training in skills and trades that you’d have to pay for outside of cadets. In a small town that has limited activities, free training is an opportunity that shouldn’t be brushed off. Not only does the government provide everything for free, it pays the cadets for attending summer camp - where they learn more skills. We’re not talking skills to make your kids the ultimate soldier. Being in the cadets does not train one to be a soldier. Nor does it lead to a career in the military. What is can do is give your kids discipline, leadership skills, self-esteem, opportunities to compete with other cadets across the country, and learn skills like engineering that wouldn’t be offered to kids from a small town. It’s such a good deal that I often wonder why more parents don’t take advantage of it. My two older brothers were in air cadets when I was young. I envied them their cool uniforms and their summers at camp. The stories and the excitement they came back with! Like every other service in our small towns, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. The cadets want YOU. They really do! Give them a call.
IT COULD BE THE LAND of Misfit Christmas decorations VICTORIA – Reaction was swift and scattered after the “framework agreement” on new oil pipelines announced last week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford. First, here’s what it doesn’t mean. “B.C. blinked,” according to one Toronto commentator, based on the popular notion that B.C. gave up its claim to a share of Alberta’s resource royalties from heavy oil. Clark never made such a claim, so it would be difficult to give it up. Her often-repeated condition of a “fair share” of revenues from any new oil pipelines is purposely vague, but after repeated protests from Alberta, Clark clarified as far back as last June that provincial royalties are not on the table. There is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has made several times. NDP leader Adrian Dix and the usual chorus of professional protesters claimed that Clark flip-flopped, opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal before the election and then embracing it once she was re-elected. This is also inaccurate. Clark’s five conditions were set out before the May election, demanding approval by a federal environmental review, “worldleading” spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and share benefits with aboriginal communities, and the undefined “fair share” for B.C. Clark said numerous times during
agreed on. Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released Tom Fletcher last summer contains no specifics tfletcher@blackpress.ca on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version the campaign that the conditions have not been met, and made pessimistic next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to noises about Northern Gateway, but she participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over very carefully did not campaign against it. The B.C.

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

Economic development taking place in Clinton Ec. Dev. Society AGM
The Clinton & District Economic Development Society held its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 5 in the Clinton Memorial Hall. The Society President Robin Fennell welcomed everyone and gave an over view of Society accomplishments to date. These include the formation of an Assisted Living Committee that has become a separate society; representation on the Gold Rush Trail initiative; participation in the Lytton to Clinton Economic Development Project; participation in the School District 74 workshop; representation on Gold Country Communities Society and Community Futures. They hosted an All Candidates meeting for provincial candidates; brought in guest speakers to inform the public on current issues; provided a venue for ABC Communications to inform the public on upcoming changes to wireless internet services in the Clinton area. The Society also sponsored and ran the Clinton Heritage Week dress up contest; operated the concession at two of the Music in the Park events, enhancing the events and raising funds for the society. They maintain the Economic Development Society website promoting Clinton and the area. The Society has been working for the past three years to entice foreign investment to Clinton. They have been successful in attracting a manufacturing facility that is planning to open in 2014/15 and employ six local residents.

Moustache Love
My uncle was diagnosed with an advanced stage of prostate cancer three years ago and since learning of his condition, I’ve paid more attention to Movember. It’s taken on more meaning for me since this ugly disease has affected my family and someone I love. Movember, of course, takes place during the month of November, and it is the official global charity dedicated to having an everlasting impact on men’s health. It raises money for prostate and testicular cancer as well as mental health. This is important since men die on average five to six years younger than women, and of-
ten from preventable diseases. Their suicide rate is also four times higher. What do moustaches have to do with it? The small group who created the charity in 2003 decided to use it as the catalyst for change. The concept was that by changing your appearance by growing a “mo” for 30 days, you could change the understanding and attitudes men have towards their health by getting them to talk about something they don’t typically discuss. “Guys don’t communicate the way women do,” my friend Cameron Carter said. “This charity gets them talking, and I know from experience that the
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com moustaches are a conversation starter.” By growing a mo and becoming a “Mo Bro” four years ago, Cameron has enjoyed explaining the mission of the organization, and he raises money by asking his friends to donate just $5 each. But it’s the education part he enjoys the most. “When I found out that one in seven men get prostate cancer,
I thought, hey, that’s two guys on my ball team,” he said. “I’d better let them know.” Realizing that he can’t influence everyone, he says that even if only one man improves his health or gets checked out and his life is saved, he knows he’s doing the right thing. “A lot of guys are afraid to get the prostate exam because they think it will hurt,” he
November 2013 • Week 2 ARIES - Aries, you have a lot on your mind, but only one concern demands your undivided attention. Find a quiet space to think things through and trust your gut feelings. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, friendships may weaken if you don’t keep up your end of the relationship. Make an effort to get together with your friends and take the initiative with planning. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your approach to a problem is not working. It could be time to take an entirely new approach and see if this produces results. Be patient with this new approach. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t be surprised if a busy week finds you dog tired come the weekend, Cancer. Use the time off to recharge your batteries on this well-deserved break. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Few things can hold your interest this week, Leo. Although friends try, they can’t seem to keep you focused on any one thing. Expect to jump from task to task this week. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, an unexpected consequence appears this week and you are caught completely off guard. Don’t let others see your surprise. You must simply roll with the punches. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a spark of ingenuity hits you out of the blue and you know just how to put that inspiration to good use. Set your plan in motion as soon as you are able. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, after a few hectic weeks at home and at the office, now is the ideal time for a vacation. Cast all responsibilities aside and enjoy some rest and relaxation. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may prefer to keep certain things to yourself no matter how strongly others insist you share. Don’t succumb to pressure to share those things you prefer remain private. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Several new opportunities are coming your way, Capricorn. You just need to sort through all of them and figure out just what you want to do in the next few weeks. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 The new season has you feeling refreshed and ready for new beginnings, Aquarius. Make the most of this new lease on life and encourage others to join you. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, maintain your focus around the office, as you will have to juggle multiple tasks in the week ahead.
said. “But it doesn’t, and it’s only mildly uncomfortable for seconds. That’s nothing compared to what women go through with their pap tests and mammograms.” Not everyone’s supportive of Movember though. I’ve heard from a lot of people that they’ve had enough with all the campaigns trying to raise funds and awareness, and don’t believe any of it helps. I completely disagree. A mere 10 years ago, 30 men banded together in Australia to become the first “Mo Bros.” Since then the Movember movement has grown to include

20 additional countries that raised over $146 million last year alone. 87 per cent of the funds raised go directly to research and managed programs, and more men have become pro-active by adopting healthier lifestyles and getting prostate exams. That’s a significant improvement to men’s health that should not be dismissed. Instead it should be applauded, supported and improved. Being a woman that can’t grow a moustache, I decided to sing about them instead. “Moustache Love,” inspired by Captain & Tennille’s old 1970s
hit “Muskrat Love” is my funny new video. It features a real nautical captain, firefighters and a beloved Okanagan comedian. If you like the video, please share it. All revenue made from YouTube will go directly to the charity, so the more hits the bigger the donation. To get more information, to donate, or to become a Mo Bro or a Mo Sista, please visit Movember.com To watch my video, and hopefully share it, visit LoriWelbourne. com. You may want to keep the volume down, I’m clearly not a singer. You are welcome for that warning.

New Variety Club fundraiser a community success to be repeated
Alysa Belisario and friends from David Stoddart School performed at the Variety fundraiser.
Nov. 8 in the Clinton Memorial Hall. In the spring of this year Fran White addressed the Village of Clinton Council with a proposal to hold a variety show to raise funds for Variety – the Children’s Charity. She wanted Clinton to show that we are a ‘small town with a big heart’. Councillor Wayne Marchant jumped at the chance to help. June Bourgo was recruited and became the chair of the group. Alice Crosson, Tracy Fallstrom and Susan Schienbein rounded out the group who did such a fantastic job of organizing this event. Who knew there was such amazing talent in this community? The six students, Echo Wilson, Alysa Belisario, Krystal L’Heureux, Shyla McColl, Abby McIlravey and Libby McIlravey were nothing short of fantastic. The confidence, attitude and talent of these girls, whether they were dancing singing duets, as a group or alone was amazing. I know I never had that much confidence at their ages. Well done girls! And the adults were also great. Mother and son, Shirley Tresierra and David Arlan Park started off the singing as a duet. As MC Wayne Marchant stated,

“It’s not hard to see where David gets his talent.” Daniela Dyck, June Bourgo, Sammy Jones, Tracy Fallstrom and Jean Dall also entertained with their great voices. Lynn and Lloyd brought their own special singing talent to the show. Clinton’s own Mill Girl Follies entertained with their lively high kicking numbers and energet-
Although this was the major fundraiser for Variety, there are also donation boxes in several locations throughout town so anyone who would still like to donate to the cause can do so. All funds raised will be presented at the Variety telethon in the spring. After such an enjoyable show there are already requests to ‘do it again’ from several members of the audience. Well done everyone who took part!
