Cat returns home The cat came back - not quite the next day but her family couldn’t be happier. Jeff Cameron, from the Buckerfields on Springfield Road, said their store cat Annie was returned home at around 11 a.m. Wednesday, Apr. 16 after being stolen Apr. 12, and it was as though she’d never been gone. “She was no worse for wear, there were no signs of stress and she was back to her old self, greeting people,” he said. Annie was retrieved from a Thompson River Estates residence last week by Ashcroft RCMP. The cat-napper had been the the Kelowna SPCA earlier in the day looking to replace a family pet that had recently passed away. The SPCA told her they couldn’t release an animal without a proper carrier and sent her to Buckerfields to buy one. While at the store, the woman spotted Annie, who looked similar to the absent pet, and left with her instead of the carrier. This was caught on the store’s surveillance camera as well as by witnesses inside the store and out on the street, who provided Kelowna RCMP with a license plate number from the vehicle she left in.

Clinton loses power and water for Easter by Susan Swan Clinton residents had to contend with not only a power outage Easter Sunday morning but also a water outage as well. Although no cause for the power outage has been given (the fourth outage since Apr. 11), it was the power outage that caused the problems with the water system. When the power went out a valve kicked off shutting off the water supply. Since the Village of Clinton water supply is gravity driven residents were able to use water until they had used all that was in the system prior to the power outage. Village staff soon corrected the problem but had to wait until the pressure built up again before the water could be released. Resilient residents found interesting ways of cooking (and making their morning coffee!) until the electricity was restored about 10:30 a.m. Those with gas stoves had no problems and many folks used propane stoves in RVs, etc. or just made a campfire.

Man kicks dog, owner punches man Apr. 16 at 3:30 am a 41 year old Ashcroft man reported that he’d been assaulted by a dog owner at their apartment complex in Ashcroft. The male said he was getting into his car when the small dog came at him, growling and barking. He kicked the dog away from him and was observed by the dog’s owner, a 63 year old woman, who allegedly punched him several times. There were no injuries. The matter is still under investigation.

Do not pass jail
Apr. 16 at 8 pm police attended a disturbance in front of Robbie’s Motel in Cache Creek where a 49 year old Chilliwack man was acting strangely. The man was unco-operative, but police determined that he had consumed alcohol, contrary to conditions of his parole. He was also on his way to Edmonton, also in violation of his parole which required him to stay in Chilliwack. He was arrested and held in custody until he could be transported to Kamloops Regional Corrections Centre, where he was held until he could be

Backyard party
Apr. 19 at 12:45 am police were called to a loud backyard party in Ashcroft where the residents were happily playing a game of “beer pong”. The residents were co-operative with police and no further complaints were made.
Difference of opinion
Apr. 19 at 3 am police were called to a residence on Coyote Valley Rd. for an assault that resulted in a black eye for a 21 year old man. The fight began as an argument between a 17 year old male and female, who had reportedly both been drinking. The woman called friends to come and pick her up and the male became involved in an altercation with a 21 year old male friend. All parties have been unco-operative with police. The matter is still under investigation.
Under the influence
Apr. 20 at 10:30 pm police were conducting a road check on Hwy 97C at the brake check when they stopped a 2010 GMC Sierra. Officers observed that the driver had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, with an odour of liquor on his breath. The 36 year old Logan Lake man Failed a roadside sobriety test and was issued a 90 day immediate driving prohibition. His vehicle was impounded.
Lost control
Apr. 21 at 8:45 am police were called to a single motor vehicle accident that had occurred on Hwy 97C about 5 km from Barnes Lake Rd. The sole occupant and driver, a 71 year old Mackenzie woman, lost control on a corner and

Apr. 21 at 11:30 pm police attended the Hat Creek Reserve for a disturbance after a 29 year old woman called to complain that a 32 year old male visitor was refusing to leave. The man became more agreeable after the police had been called and was located outside the residence. The man was on probation and one of the conditions was that he leave the woman’s presence when asked to do so. There were no charges.
Owners relieved, hold no ill will The woman was co-operative with police and handed over the cat as well as the carrier she had purchased elsewhere. It will be up to Kelowna RCMP whether charges are laid against her. The staff at Buckerfield’s harbour no ill will against them, despite their apparent poor judgment, they’re just glad the cat’s back. “It’s a happy ending, we’re just happy to have her back,” he said. And Annie’s not going to see many changes, going forward. “She basically has free reign in the store and comes and goes as she pleases, and that will stay the same” Cameron said. “We may get a GPS chip for her… we’ll look into that.” First thing’s first, however, it’s now time to celebrate Annie’s return. “We were overwhelmed by the response,” he said. “Without the support of everyone involved we never would have got her back. We got calls from all over B.C. asking how Annie is.” - with the Kelowna Capital News Annie from p. 1

Pavilion explored by Nanaimo robotics Life’s earliest remnants on Earth are found as stromatolites – ancient rock formations of layered microbialites. Finding similar structures on other planets means they once supported life, or possibly still do. “We can’t go back in time to figure out how those bacteria built those structures, but we can look at modern analogues or comparison points to understand the physical, chemical and biological means by which these structures are built,” Lim said.

Make a difference - be a volunteer Are you still looking for your 15 minutes of fame? No need to look further than your own community. Reality shows come and go. Foolhardy stunts can end in the hospital, or worse. Acts of violence and aggression will lead to tragedy in someone’s life. No, if you want fame among your peers, if you want to make an impact on other people and make a difference in their lives and in your own, be a volunteer. Volunteer Week has come and gone, but it’s one of those celebrations that should be held every day. WILL THE REAL PETER COTTONTAIL please stand up? Baby bunnies at Desert Hills Ranch! Without volunteers, we wouldn’t have any of our major celebrations like Graffiti Days, Rodeo, May Ball, Fall Fair, River Festival, Mothers Day Fly In and Desert Daze, and a slew of smaller events such as My name is David Black.

Lt. Governor will attend Clinton Ball this year Clinton Seedy Sunday
The members of the Clinton Communities in Bloom Committee were very pleased with the turnout at their second annual Seedy Sunday on Apr. 13. There were a good variety of displays and demonstrations, seeds and plants for sale or by donation, garden books and magazines to help new gardeners get started and a silent auction of donated goods of all types. Special thanks to the TNRD for their composter display and sales and the Plant Wise display that highlighted problem plants that many of us unknowingly grow in our yards without realizing the problems they can cause. The ‘Count the Seeds’ contest was one by Joanne O’Flynn of Clinton and the door prize, a basket of garden-themed items was won by Zaida of Ashcroft. The committee wishes to thank everyone who helped, donated items and their time and all those who came and enjoyed the event. Although it was not planned as a major fundraising event, over $500 was raised from donations, seed sales, silent auction, contests, the concession, etc. The funds will be used to further the cause of the CiB Committee, namely to help make Clinton a more attractive and enjoyable

Winning comes with age and experience Last summer I ran a half marathon in Kamloops. Although I did not train to run the race very fast, I definitely had no problem to run it at a decent pace. With about 1 km to go, I caught up to and passed a man that was much older than me. I thought a couple things to myself. One, “How did this guy get ahead of me?” And two, “I hope I can run like that when I’m his age!” When I got home I went on the internet to check out the times and results. I was amazed, I finished in 1hr 32min, and he finished 30 seconds after me. The website didn’t show his exact age, but it did show he was in the 60-69 age group. So basically in 20 years, if I did what he did, I would basically be running killer times at races and showing up a whole bunch of “Young-uns”. I noticed something else about the results though - in the top 10 fastest males, all but two were 40 years old or older. This is prevalent in not only Marathons, but also in Ironman, 100 mile ultra marathons and other endurance events. Diana Nyad at a ripe old age of 64 swam from Cuba to Florida. That’s 110 miles for those who don’t know their geography. Even more amazing is she completed this on her fifth attempt. As she got older she was better and stronger. Of course, I’m constantly reading and researching why this is. Is it discipline in training? Is it mental toughness that makes you attain your goal? Ma-
Living Well Wayne Little miner1098 @gmail.com turity? Experience? The answer is all of the above, and more, much more. You see and hear of more and more people registering for gruelling Charity events, Masters Games, and the Seniors games. I went to watch Frank Mierau last year at a Time Trial Bicycle race at the Seniors games last year. He looked so strong and vibrant. He raced a good race and BAM, he wins. Merv McKauge does his personal best time running a 10km race, in his 70s. Once again, I look at them and think, “I want to be him in 40 years.” I’ve been to many awards ceremonies at triathlons, and the age group winners are called up to receive their prizes. The winner will come out of the crowd and people look and say, “there’s no way that guy is 50”, or “no way she’s 45”. It’s amazing how fit people can look so much younger than their unfit peers of the same age. So what do we have to do to make this happen? What do you have to do to get off the couch and into the new “fit” you? What does

an older person have to do different than a young person? There are some differences. First we have to get a check up with your doctor, if you just quit smoking, or have had a lot of recent health issues, you’re going to have to take it slow at first. We have to train smarter, by not overtraining and getting quality workout. Our bodies take longer to recover from hard workouts so stretching and yoga help out with recovery and to keep those muscles limber and loose. We have to strengthen our muscles using weights and body weight exercises. As we get older our muscles break down faster than when we were young. We have to strengthen our minds by proving to ourselves through events and training that we are capable of competing. Most importantly we have to fuel the machine properly, eating the proper diet will fuel your workout better, and help those muscles recover quicker. The desire to compete doesn’t diminish as we get older. To get that feeling like we did doing the track and field events in Elementary school when we got a ribbon. I love standing on the podium and see at the young people thinking, “How did that old dude beat me?” Take the time to find your sport that you love doing, train for it and sign up for an event. What do you have to lose?

April • Week 4 ARIES - Aries, your energy needs an outlet. Exercise is a productive way to expend yourself, so stretch at your desk, skip the elevator for the stairs or take a walk at lunchtime. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Untangle yourself from conflicts at work, Taurus. This is not the time to get involved in anything that may put your chances for a promotion in jeopardy. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You are full of intellectual energy, Gemini. Answers to trivia show questions come easily to you and you’re ready to solve the world’s most pressing problems. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give your finances serious consideration this week. Find a solid plan for saving and stick with it because you are going to need extra funds in a few months. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Expect some great news to come your way this week, Leo. This news may impact your personal or professional life, or even both. Ready yourself. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, be flexible with your schedule so you can go with the flow as much as possible this week. Try something silly that will put you in a good mood. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don’t sweat the small stuff, Libra. Others are more focused on the bigger picture so you don’t need to fret over everything. Relax and things will come together nicely. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Watch out for any impulses that are out of character for you, Scorpio. You could be feeling like abandoning your usual modus operandi in favor of taking a more risky approach. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You have lots of social energy this week, Sagittarius. Others are relying on you, and you are likely to have many admirers by the week’s end. Take this opportunity to impress. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, daily life can be tiring, but you need to find a way to muster a little more energy. Get adequate rest and eat right so you have the energy you need in the week ahead. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Life gets a bit interesting this week, Aquarius. Embrace change, even if the concept of change is alien to you. It is good to get out of your shell. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, now might be a good time to reflect and take a break from the hustle and bustle. See if you can fly solo for a little while.
