Cache Creek landfill fly ash assessment: “minimal risk”
STILL HANGING ON: In 1910 faulty construction of the water flume supplying Walhachin made it too Photo by Barbara Roden leaky to carry all the water needed, but sections still cling to the hillside.
Travelling Funmobile aims to “bring back play” The Bring Back Play Funmobile tour is on the road again and visiting area communities in the next two weeks. Brought to you by ParticipACTION and Healthy Families BC, the Funmobile tour brings a van full of games, activities, and giveaways to parks, events, and schools in B.C. from now through August 2014. The free event, open to all children and their parents, caregivers, or guardians, will be at the Heritage Park on Railway Ave. in Ashcroft on Wed., July 16 from 3:00–5:30 pm. On Thurs., July 17 it will be at the Cache Creek Recreation Park from 10:00–11:30 am; at
the Bonaparte Indian Band from 1:00– 3:00 pm; and at the Municipal Park on Dewdney Rd. in Clinton from 4:30– 5:30 pm. On Mon., July 21 the Funmobile will be at Lytton Elementary School from 10:30 am–1:00 pm. Children are busier than ever with schoolwork and scheduled activities. The world is often perceived to be more dangerous than in the past, and many kids aren’t allowed to roam as freely as they once did. Extremely hot or cold weather can keep many children indoors, where they face the lure of video games, the Internet, television, and smartphones. What was once a nat-
ural activity—simply going outside and playing—is increasingly foreign to many children. The aim of the Bring Back Play Funmobile is to help reverse the decline of play by encouraging children to get out, move around, and rediscover the joy of playing, while reinforcing the importance of play in a child’s life. At each stop the Funmobile will remind kids and their parents—through hula hoops, skipping ropes, balls, chalk, and more—how fun it is to play.

The Cache Creek Landfill is back in compliance with its Operational Certificate, two years after it was discovered that 1,800 tonnes of possibly toxic fly ash had been deposited at the site. The landfill has accepted fly ash since 2000, but only after it has been tested to ensure that the product has been suitably treated to remove any potential contamination. Shipments of fly ash deposited at the landfill in July and August 2012 tested positive for high amounts of cadmium, and were subsequently excavated and taken to a hazardous waste facility. A letter from the provincial Ministry of Environment dated Jue 27, 2014 confirms that the advisory letter of non-compliance issued by the Ministry will be withdrawn as requested by the Village of Cache Creek and Wastech. An independent technical assessment of the treatment and disposal of fly ash was carried out, with public meetings in Cache Creek and Ashcroft in April of this year seeking community and First Nations input. The assessment also received written comments from the Village of Cache Creek, Wastech, and Metro Vancouver. The cumulative evidence reviewed by the independent experts indicates that it is very unlikely that leachable cadmium in the fly ash deposited in summer 2012 exceeded the hazardous waste regulation. The letter states that the landfill’s impervious liner and leachate collection system ensure that the fly ash is fully contained and the chemical constituents are not able to leach from the site. Moreover, the leachate collection system has never produced any leachate. As a result, “the fly ash monofill poses minimal risk to human health or the environment. As long as the integrity of the monofill is maintained, including post closure, the absence of a pathway of exposure will continue to eliminate any risk. “Based on the extremely low probability that hazardous waste was deposited, coupled with the safety provided by the fly ash being encapsulated in the monofill with no means of exposure to the public and environment, additional investigation, sampling and analyses of the fly ash monofill is not required by MOE to further characterize the material.”

On July 1 at 3:40 pm, police received a call of a possibly impaired driver at the picnic area at the Subway in Cache Creek. A male and female, holding a three-month-old baby, were seen smoking marijuana. The vehicle departed towards Kamloops and police attended, but could not locate it. No licence plate number had been obtained, so there was no way to identify it.
On July 1 at 10:00 pm, a female in 16 Mile who was walking near the fruit stand with her granddaughter reported that they were approached by an aggressive dog, which came at them growling and with its teeth bared. The dog was called back to its property by its owner, and there were no other problems reported, although the complainant felt that she would have been attacked had the owner not called the dog back.

On July 2 at 2:30 pm there was a report of a dog in potential distress in the back seat of a car parked near the Royal Lepage office in Ashcroft. The vehicle was pointed out and when the female driver returned she told police she had only left the dog for five to ten minutes, that the windows were partially down, and that water had been left in the car for the dog. The female was given a warning about leaving animals in cars in hot weather.

On July 3 at 3:00 pm a tancoloured bag was dropped off at the detachment. It was found outside the Bear Claw Lodge in Cache Creek and contained clothing and other items, but nothing that would identify the owner. Anyone who can identify the bag and its contents can retrieve it at the Ashcroft detachment.
From bad to worse
lice made patrols for the vehicle and located it at Big Sky Station. Police spoke with the driver, who said he had just got into a fight with a male in Ashcroft. The driver smelled as if he had alcohol on his breath, and admitted that he had been drinking. After failing two tests he received a 90day driving suspension and a ticket for failing to remain at the scene of an accident, and had his car impounded for 7 days.
Definitely not room service
On July 5 at 7:45 am, a male staying at the Sandman in Cache Creek phoned to say he had been disturbed at 6:55 am by someone pounding on his door and shouting. He reported the incident to the front desk, and was told that a group of unidentified people were hanging around the Heartland Restaurant and it might have been them. There were no other complaints.
Lock up your vehicles
On July 5 at 9:50 am, a Cache Creek female called to say that during the night someone had gone through the centre consoles of both her vehicles— which were parked near her home, and unlocked—and made a mess. The vehicles contained a few valuables, but they were not taken. There were no other reports of such a disturbance in the area, and no witnesses.
Desperate measures
On July 6 at 3:11 pm, Emergency Services requested an assist from the RCMP as a female had overdosed by ingesting a large quantity of pills in her hotel room at the Sage and Sand in Cache Creek. She was taken to Ashcroft Hospital, where police attended. The woman was semi-conscious, and said that she wanted to take her life. She was transferred to Kamloops the same day.
Not between the lines
On July 6 at 6:00 pm, a female called to report that a semi-truck travelling north on Hwy. 1 south of Cache Creek was all over the road. No licence plate number was given and police were unable to locate the truck. No other complaints were received.
Good judgement
On July 7 at 12:17 am a Cache Creek female called to report that her partner was intoxicated and riding his motorized vehicle. She said that the male was very angry and had possibly gone to the apartments on Collins Rd., and added that she did not want him to come back as he had a habit of taking her money and drinking. The male was not located that night, but police spoke with him in the morning. He said that he had got a little too drunk and decided to take himself away from the house.

Wellness Festival packed with events The countdown is on for the small group of volunteers who have been organizing the second annual Wellness Festival in Ashcroft. A few changes have been made from last year. Most of the action is taking place in the Heritage Park, where there are public washrooms, and lots of trees for shade. People are asked to bring their own seating and get ready for a full day-and-a-half of activities, workshops, music, and ParticipACTION events. Both Saturday and Sunday will start off early with guided hikes. Saturday will feature the Inukshuk Trail on the Mesa, while Sunday will feature the Port Trail from the Mesa towards the Inland Port. Both are moderate hikes with no steep hills, and offer participants an opportunity to see our town from a different perspective. The Opening Ceremonies will take place at 10:00 am Saturday morning, followed shortly after by the finish of the Kids TRY-athalon and awards. There is a lot of excitement building for the TRY-athalon, and it promises to be even better than last year. Apparently we have made a mark with the kids who do these TRY-athalons, as we have entries coming from further afield this year. Check out the full back page of today’s Journal to see the schedule of events, times, and information so you can plan to attend as many things as possible. There are two workshops that will require pre-registration: sushi making and African drumming. Both have a fee per person which is basically to cover the cost of materials for the workshop, and registration is limited. Pre-registration can be done at the information booth that will be set up at the Heritage Park. There will be several other workshops, designed to provide information or cater to specific interests. You can find out more about healthy nutrition, meditation, and tarot reading, or go on a photography walk with Wendy Coomber to find out how to get the best shots out of that camera of yours. See or be seen at the Zumba flash mob and Zumba presentation; have some shiatsu done; or attend the geocaching session and go look for some caches (bring your GPS or phone if coming to this event). The Kids’ Area will provide many fun things
for kids to do, including water activities. Uncle Chris the Clown will perform and be on site for most of Saturday. A new, fun activity that has been put together for this year is a scavenger hunt. Most of the businesses that are open on Saturdays are excited to be a part of this fun event. It is hoped that family groups will do this together, but you can do it as a team too. Participants will need either a camera or a phone that takes photos, as some of the questions on the hunt will involve taking a photo of something to prove you have found it. Scavenger hunt forms can be picked up at the information booth. The hunt can be started anytime throughout the Saturday, and it finishes at 5:00 pm. There are three great prizes that have been donated for the winners of the event. Historic Hat Creek Ranch will be offering stagecoach rides and there will be a bike rodeo for the kids, so encourage your children to bring their bike and let the RCMP show them the rules of the road for riding a bicycle. There will be a number of food vendors on site, so you will be able to satisfy any hunger pangs. The Farmers’ Market at the north end of Railway Ave. will be open longer on the Saturday of the Festival, and there will be a free bus running from this area to the Heritage Park so people can travel back and forth. As Saturday begins to head into the evening the excitement will really ramp up. Once again we have Elvis Elite, who is back after a fantastic performance at last year’s festival. With a huge repertoire of songs, terrific costumes, and audience appeal, Steve Elliott could pass as the real Elvis. This will definitely be the highlight of the day, so don’t miss it! Sunday morning will feature another guided hike, and yoga to start your day off right. Plan to attend the inter-denominational church service, where Elvis Elite will once again perform. This was another highlight of the festival last year. Steve’s singing of Elvis’s gospel songs sends shivers down the spine, and last year there wasn’t a dry eye in the place at times. This is another must attend. We hope to see everyone downtown to enjoy all that the festival has to offer. See you there!!!

Rapidly changing libraries try to adjust to a brave new world If you had $100 to spend on items for your local library, what would you purchase? That was one of the questions posed at the TNRD Library System’s “Check It Out!” interactive event, which started in the region last week. The strategic planning process is designed to get people thinking about what the library system does for them, what they would like it to do, and where public libraries go from here. Those who dropped by the Ashcroft event were given 10 beads “worth” $10 each, and challenged to spend them as they saw fit across seven categories: print books; magazines and newspapers; electronic books; electronic magazines and newspapers; children/youth books; audiobooks; and other accessible material (such as large print or Braille books). Participants were asked what “cool things” they would like to see from their local library, and to pick an “alter ego” and write down what library programs and partnerships they think would benefit that person. There was also an opportunity to take part in an online survey, which is available on the TNRD Library System’s website (www. tnrdlib.ca) until July 30 for anyone who cannot make it to the presentation. The results obtained from the “Check It Out!” events and survey will result in a five-year plan to help set the future direction of the library system. As the survey notes, these are wild and rapidly changing times for libraries, which are undergoing a radical transformation. With the rise of e-books and the proliferation of smartphones and e-readers, both the delivery of information services and library collections are changing. The swift rise in popularity of e-readers has resulted in some 12%
of books checked out from TNRD libraries being in electronic format; and this does not take into account electronic newspapers and magazines. While this rise has levelled off in recent months, there seems little doubt that libraries face an increasingly electronic future. Many people may not know that the TNRD Library System can teach people how to use their new gadgets, with lessons for iPads, iPods, Windows, and smartphones available. You can also learn tips for online shopping. “Check It Out!” continues in the region’s libraries until September, with all sessions on a drop-in basis and being held from 5–7 pm. The dates are as follows: Lytton, July 10; Savona, July 31; Logan Lake, Aug. 5; Cache Creek, Sept. 4; and Clinton, Sept. 9. The library is a wonderful resource for keeping children interested in reading over the weeks of summer vacation. The TNRD Library System is offering the “Funny Business” summer reading club, in which children are asked to read (or be read to) for 15 minutes a day, then record this in their “Funny Business” booklet (available from the library). When they visit the library they will receive stickers and can enter a draw for weekly prizes (open to children aged 0–12). For older children there’s the “Teen Summer Challenge”, featuring an array of challenges such as “Create your own Dr. Seuss-inspired poem”, “Write a book review”, “Draw your own depiction of a scene from a book”, and “Write a short story that would fit on the size of a postcard”. For more information about “Check It Out!”, summer reading programs, and the TNRD Library System, visit your local library or the library system website.

Sitting back and enjoying the drive For the last nine months, I’ve had a chauffeur. It’s been lovely. Until now, the closest I’ve come to knowing what it’s like to have a domestic servant is watching Upstairs, Downstairs or Downton Abbey (which hasn’t been the same since—spoiler alert!—Gwen left in season one to pursue her dreams of being a secretary). Having a personal driver has been enjoyable; but like all good things, it must come to an end. Those with long memories will recall that, almost a year ago in this space, I reflected on the fact that I would soon be learning to drive (again). In summer 2013 my son was a few weeks away from turning 16, and getting his learner’s licence, which would mean that for the next 12 months he would need an adult driving with him anytime he got behind the wheel. That adult has often turned out to be me; and while I anticipated that I’d be re-learning a lot of rules of the road that are often more honoured in the breach than in the observance (as Shakespeare had it, although I don’t think he was talking about motorists), what I failed to anticipate was that a 16-year-old who’s got his learner’s licence is a 16-year-old who’s happy to take any excuse to drive. In the past, trips with him to Kamloops have been something of a blur as I battled traffic while heading from point A back to point A again, with stops at B, C, D, and E along the way. Recent trips to the big city have, in contrast, been lovely, as I now get to sit back and enjoy the scenery (gosh, it really is a beautiful view along Kamloops Lake at Savona, isn’t it?), while not having to worry at all about traffic downtown. And I’ve long since stopped having to reach for the imaginary brake pedal on the passenger side of the car. Even mundane local jaunts have become more enjoyable. In the past, I would have been able to convince my son to come with me down to Irly Bird to pick up cat litter (those forty pound bags weigh— well, forty pounds, and I’m not getting any younger), but that was about it. These days the conversation is more apt to go like this: Me: “I need to pick up some more cat litter at Irly Bird. Want to drive?” Him: “Sure! Do you need to go anywhere else?” Me: “Well, we could do with popping in to Safety Mart for milk. . . .” Him: “Great! And after that?” Me: (hesitantly) “I was thinking of driving out Walhachin way to get some pictures. . . .” Him: “Okay! I’ll go start the car!” The only downside is that my son is 6’5”, and adjusts the driver’s seat accordingly, so when I get in to drive I find myself more or less in the trunk, feet flailing helplessly for pedals that are in another time zone until I manage to move the seat. It is, I tell myself, a small price to pay for the privilege of having a personal driver. It’s a shame it will (probably) come to an end in September, when he gets his N and is able to drive on his own. Never mind; I’m sure I can plan a lot of trips between now and then.

Is there such a thing as a bad volunteer?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor, About 10 years ago I was accused by a local of being a bad volunteer. I immediately resigned my post and waited curiously to see who would take my place. Of course what happened— as it so often does in small rural communities—is that no one did. We now had no volunteer. As I wrote my “Talking Stick” article I began to realize that all these folks who had approached me for funding were also the volunteers of their communities. They not only provided the foundation for a better “quality of life” for their communities, they were also the fundraisers. These incredible individuals or groups often go about their business with little fanfare, mostly unnoticed; yet with funding for rural communities at a premium, their value cannot and should not be underestimated They build communities, one brick at a time. I find it disturbing that the loudest voices in our little communities often point fingers of incompetence, wrongdoing, and bad decision-making at our most cherished assets: the longtime volunteers. Whether you don’t like the
process, disagree with a decision, or just don’t like the volunteer, the loud dissenting voice could become a more effective voice if you chose to lift a hand to volunteer yourself. Sadly, most of these shouts for justice do nothing to move a community forward. On the contrary: they often create rumblings that gnaw at the harmony of small town life. In extreme cases it can actually create a scenario where the townsfolk are choosing sides: not based on the issue, or the project, or the idea, but on what side it came from. Maybe all of us should try to be a little more understanding and a little more compromising, no matter what side of the fence we stand on. Only then will a rebuilding of trust begin to blossom, and a community begin to bloom. Let us also take the time to say THANK YOU, and to buy our new and longtime volunteers a coffee, or a beer at the local pub, once in a while, just to let them know that the time they give their community is noted and much appreciated. Cheers to our volunteers!

Beautiful gardens to admire and inspire This year, Ashcroft Communities in Bloom was one of the lucky communities chosen to participate in the Scotts Miracle-Gro Best Garden Selection Awards. The program began last year as a pilot, and was so successful and received so many accolades Scotts ran it again. All participants in the Communities in Bloom program were able to apply to Scotts for a chance to participate in the program. We were delighted when we were notified that we had been selected. Our local Communities in Bloom committee has toured throughout Ashcroft and has selected a number of residences to receive the award based on the curb appeal and quality of the gardens. Each recipient will receive a congratulatory letter and gift from Scotts MiracleGro, and a lovely sign to display in front of their home. The winners will display the sign for three weeks, and then the sign will be moved to another deserving property. For the period of July 7 – 27 the winners are: 1392 Government Street: Berdan 1403 Pine Street: Owens 210 Ash Street: Platz 611 Cedar Crescent : Webster 570 Mesa Vista Drive: Denis 286 Cliff Crescent: Flaherty 203 Cornwall Place: Thille 503 Bancroft Street: Holgate 507 Bancroft Street: Reid 1230 Vista Heights Drive: K.

The Canada Day celebration in Clinton was busier than usual, as up to 200 geocaching enthusiasts joined the festivities. It was the final day of the four-day Gold Country Geocache event that saw folks from all over explore the area from Spences Bridge to Green Lake and areas in between. The finale saw numerous prizes awarded to deserving participants. They enjoyed the hot dogs and cake provided by the Village of Clinton, as well as treats provided by Gold Country Communities Society. It was a great way to celebrate Canada’s 147th anniversary.

The cricket match that was to be held on July 5 in Elliot Park was cancelled, leaving many folks disappointed. Word did not get to everyone, so some people showed up expecting to
watch cricket. Needless to say they were very unhappy. It is hoped that the next scheduled matches go off without a hitch.
Although it was cool in the park the rain held off and everyone enjoyed the show. Thank you to the Spirit of Clinton and especially Councillor David Park for bringing this fantastic concert to Clinton.

We need jobs, industry, and taxes. Where the heck do these protest groups think all the money comes from? Mr. Rawcliffe: if you have more to say then do not be shy—speak up. The silent majority should not be shy, either: speak up or suffer the consequences.

Lac-Mégantic tragedy could easily happen here Dear Editor, It was exactly one year ago that the worst rail disaster in Canadian history took place. A vast part of the community of Lac-Mégantic was destroyed and many lives were lost, and now countless victims suffer from severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As the town and its victims struggle to rebuild their lives, nothing has changed when it comes to shipping oil by rail. In my opinion, it’s obvious that the current Federal Government has used this disaster in its lobby for the Northern Gateway Pipeline and the Keystone XL. By doing nothing to enhance rail safety, and probably aiding in the cause of allowing subsequent rail disasters of a similar nature, the Conservatives have used their own blunders to enhance their cause for the expansion of resource extraction, with no real plans for development other than pipelines for exporting raw materials. In the long term not only is this poor economic policy, but it is also very dangerous and extremely risky, especially to communities like Ashcroft, Mission, Agassiz, and Lillooet where the rail lines run near the very heart of the communities. If a rail disaster was to happen in one of these communities, the outcome would be no less than that of Lac-Mégantic. I believe it’s up to the Federal Government of Canada to secure the safety of these communities, whether the threat be terrorists or rail disasters. Anything less is a dereliction of duty.

Much accomplished in Area “I” in recent months I must say that the learning curve of local government is much steeper than I imagined. That being said, I have to admit I have loved every minute of it— well, there was that one minute that I could have done without! Blue Sky Country stretches as far and wide as its name suggests, so there is a lot of travel, projects, and time involved. You must be able to prioritize and organize: skills of mine that needed honing, and during my 31 months in office I’ve worked hard at them. (I have been told by my wife I have made some great strides; she may just be trying to make me feel good, but I’ll take it.) Speaking of my wife Paulet, I’d like to take a moment to thank her for sitting through the countless evenings as I pound the keyboard traveling the long, winding TNRD learning curve road. She has been beyond patient. It would be a lonely road to travel alone. This time of year the busy farming months of summer grab centre stage, so a recap of the journey down the slippery slope of politics is in order. Much has been accomplished, but there is much still to be done. My first major project was addressing the long overdue attention the Spences Bridge Community Hall needed. Green upgrades and a new heating system that have allowed year-round use of the hall have saved many dollars in heating costs, and we can hear each talk when it kicks on: bonus! Funding has been provided through my TNRD Federal Gas Tax Fund, my
TNRD discretionary funds, or through grants to the following projects. I may have left out a couple, as the old mind ain’t what it use to be; but it’s been a busy time between meetings, projects, paperwork, the huge learning curve, and putting out the occasional fire. The following projects have been completed or are in progress
– The Blue Sky Cricket Club: $500 – Lytton Legion upgrades: $35,000 – Recreation area for 16 Mile: in progress – Desert Daze Music Festival: $1,500 – Spences Bridge Community Club equipment purchase: $500 – Lytton Farmers Market: $300 – Winding Rivers Art and Performance Society: $1,000 – Water saving kits, timers, spring loaded nozzles, etc. were provided to Spences Bridge and 16 STEVE RICE Mile using Gas Tax funds.
