Health care action plan under way

Legion fallenLumber soldiers Allhonours Treated

As Canadian flags were lowered to half mast, a small ceremony was held at the Cenotaph in Ashcroft last Thursday to honour fallen soldiers Cpt. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. L-R: Darrin Curran and Brenda Cahoon representing the 347 RCSCC Avenger cadet corps, Kathy Franks representing the Legion Auxiliary, and Penny and Bernie Sonmor and Steve Clark, members of the Off Ashcroft Legion.

Recruiting and keeping health care providers; Reversing centralization of services to urban areas; Caring for seniors so they can remain here; and Finding local expertise to work with Interior Health in finding solutions. These were the key issues facing local health care according to a report commissioned by the Wellness Health Action Committee and presented to Ashcroft Council at the Oct. 27 meeting. The committee is attempting to follow a similar path that the community of Princeton did in healing its health care system. To that end, they hosted a community consultation in September and engaged Barbara Pesut, Canada Research Chair, Health, Ethics and Diversity, UBC Okanagan Campus to facilitate it and write a report. The next step is to form an action plan based on the report’s findings. “It’s going to take a lot of people and a lot of expertise to make this action plan work,” committee member Ron Hood told Council. “The first thing we’ll be doing is meeting with Bernie Easson of Interior Health and working out who the key people in IH are,” said Dave Durksen, another committee member. “We will be drawing people from the community after that.” During the consultation, issues of transportation between home and Kamloops came up frequently, not enough time allowed with doctor visits or hospital stays and medical attendants unfamiliar with neighbourhoods. Durksen said they would like to reconfigure the family practice offices at the hospital to accommodate other practitioners. “We’re hoping for two more doctors and two nurse practitioners,” he said. The space is there, he said, but they need permission and planning. Durksen said he hoped they would be recruiting nurses and lab techs as well, who would be residents of the community. He said a primary care clinic would allow people to come and access physio therapy, counselling, and lots of group work. Working with the nearby First Nations clinics and Clinton, he said, we could probably support four to five nurse practitioners in the area. Durksen said it was also possible that local health care boards may be returning to communities, as the Island Health Authority has been setting some up.

Flo Berry and Marilyn Allen Warrant for arrest

Ashcroft rcMP DetAchMent

Oct. 20 a warrant was issued for the arrest of Kamloops man, Brandon Graham, born Oct. 11, 1988. Graham was to appear in court that day to face charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000 in an incident stemming from last June. At that time, Graham pulled into the Juniper Beach Provincial Park hauling a flatbed trailer with a snowmobile on it. He was reported to RCMP by another camper who thought it was suspicious to be hauling around a snowmobile in the middle of summer. Police found that both the trailer and snowmobile as well as some tools had just been stolen in Logan Lake.

Oct. 21 at 7:30 pm police received a call from an Ashcroft parent who reported that their son hadn’t returned home from school that day. Police launched a search immediately, but by 10:30 pm the teenager was still missing. Unbeknownst to his parents, the youth had snuck into the house and went to sleep in an area where they wouldn’t have looked for him. He was found safe and sound the next morning.

Fraudulant cheques

Constable Mom

Oct. 21 Ashcroft RCMP became aware of a potential fraud making the rounds when an Ashcroft male reported receiving a cheque from a Kamloops company called Can Dig. He took it to the credit union where it was declared a fake. The company was also a fake. An investigation by RCMP revealed that there are numerous police reports about the same fraud, where several cheques are sent out to people through the mail. Police advise that unexpected cheques coming from an unknown source should be treated with suspicion.

POLICE REPORT Wendy Coomber

Alone time

Oct. 21 at 9 pm BC Ambulance requested assistance from the RCMP as they prepared to transport a 30 year old Lillooet woman to the hospital with serious medical issues. The woman was travelling with her four children, all under the age of nine, when she went into medical distress in Cache Creek. A Clinton officer was called to take temporary custody of the children while their father came from Lillooet to retrieve them.

Passing unsafely

Oct. 23 at 10:45 am Traffic Services received a complaint of a vehicle pass-

ing while unsafe on Hwy 1 north of Spences Bridge. The complainant reported that the Dodge Dakota had passed four vehicles on a double solid line on the Oregon Jack Hill. The vehicle was located, stopped at a construction lineup in Spences Bridge. The 54 year old Smithers man was issued a ticket for passing while unsafe.

Attention-getter

Oct. 25 just shortly after midnight, a patrolling Traffic Services officer was forced to pull over to the side of Hwy 97C as an oncoming vehicle swerved over the centre line. The officer turned to follow the vehicle and pulled it over on Hwy 1. The driver displayed signs of impairment and was given a roadside test, which he Failed, twice. The 30 year old Ashcroft man was given a 90 day driving suspension and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The open liquor inside the vehicle was seized and destroyed.

The Wifi place

Oct. 26 at 9:30 pm police were called to Thompson Rivers Estates by a male who complained that three young adults were banging on his door looking for Wifi service. The three subjects left in two vehicles which were not located. However, the complainant identified two of the subjects and police will be contacting them.

Cache Creek Volunteer Fire Fighters Association Box 73, Cache Creek, BC V0K1H0 All Organizations and Individual Citizens

For more than thirty years, our members have provided a fireworks display every Halloween night to entertain the families of Ashcroft, Cache Creek and surrounding area. This event also helps to discourage vandalism by keeping our youth occupied throughout the evening. The cost for this event has been from $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 depending on the donations that we receive from various organizations and individuals. All of our volunteer members also contribute their own funds towards this initiative. We are asking organizations and individuals to consider contributing any amount they may wish to give, in support of this popular annual event. Should you decide to make a donation, please forward it to the Cache Creek Fire Fighters Association, at the address above. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Damian Couture Cache Creek Fire Department Secretary

Barefoot and casual

Oct. 26 at 2:30 am an officer on patrol observed a 29 year old Ashcroft man walking down Tingley St. wearing only shorts and a sweater, and no footwear. The man indicated that he had locked himself out of his residence and was looking for the friend who had his keys. The officer helped him track down the friend and retrieve his keys, after which he was able to enter his residence.

Spaghetti fundraiser is back The name may have changed, but the always popular Spaghetti Dinner and Auction is back, put on by the Ashcroft Wellness & Music Festival. The annual community event is a major source of funding for the Festival. But it’s more than a fundraiser - it’s a night for family and friends to come together and enjoy an affordable all-you-can-eat spaghetti supper. The silent and live auctions will be back, with lots of new items to tempt you. The Festival changed its name earlier this year to reflect the many

great concerts that have been offered during the two-day festival. Only the name has changed - the Festival will still incorporate all of the aspects of wellness in Ashcroft: outdoor adventure, relaxation, art, history, recreation, health and community. Please support the third annual Family Spaghetti Dinner and Auction Fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 7 in the Ashcroft Community Hall. Doors open at 5 pm, Dinner begins at 6 pm. Tickets are available, same price as last year, at Sun Country and the Ashcroft Bakery.

Vintage thrills at Barkerville Barkerville is rolling out the “dead carpet” to scare the wits out of visitors on Halloween. Visitors brave enough to wander through this haunted National Historic site on Oct. 31 will experience spooky stories and hair-raising tale during a night of frivolity, fright and fun. More than 100 visitors from all over BC make the trek to Barkerville each Halloween and this year there will be a few extra surprises. The self-guided Ghostly town tour begins at 6:30 p.m. on Halloween night and participants will explore the shadows of main street after-dark, where monstrous jacko’-lanterns, traceless spirits, and the secretive pasts of Barkerville’s most notorious residents some-

times lurk. For the bravest of the brave the Blair House of Horror is a must-see experience. Hot dogs, treats and other refreshments will be provided at Visitors Reception Centre, prizes will be awarded for best costumes and a spook-tacular fireworks display will end the evening with a bang. Guests who want to meet some of the real ghosts of Barkerville’s past can book an unforgettable night at the King and Kelly House B&Bs!

David Stoddart students Harry Liu and Jared Carrier, Daniella Dyck, DSS Principal Denise Campbell, Clinton Mayor Jim Rivett, and student James Belin were among those who met for a Sustainability Plan input session, which asked students what would make them stay in their community.

Public services, recreation top list “What would keep you here or bring you back?” This was one of two questions asked of high school students at David Stoddart School in Clinton, as part of a Sustainability Plan input session. Clinton Mayor Jim Rivett, Community Development Coordinator Daniela Dyck, and School District No. 74 Board Chair Carmen Ranta visited the school earlier this month, asking students to share what they’d like to see in the village that would make them want to stay and raise a family in Clinton. The other ques-

tion students were asked was “What do you love about Clinton?” Students were divided into two groups to complete the survey, which contained sections on Recreation; Social Activities; Economic Development; Jobs, Growth, and Development; Connectivity/Energy; Infrastructure; Services; and Education. Both groups indicated that they wanted better health care services, such as a full-time doctor, a dentist, an optometrist, mental health services, and more accessibility for those with special needs. Other things that would keep them in Clinton included a swimming pool, water park, skateboard park, and a shooting range. They felt that more apartment buildings are needed, and would like to see a solar or wind farm, natural gas, free WiFi, a geothermal station, better roads, and an “off the grid” subdivision. In terms of education, the students loved the Food Safe course offered last year, their teachers, and the TRU Welding trailer coming to the community in February. They noted that they’d like see more elective courses offered, and an exchange student program, as well as a Shop class, a hockey camp, and specialized teachers. The students shared that they loved Clinton’s friendly atmosphere, the “mill” and the gas stations, as well as the park, rodeo grounds, curling rink, cross country ski trails, fishing, the curio and ice cream shops, and good cell phone service. The results of the Sustainability Plan session will be included in the Village of Clinton’s Official Community Plan, which is in the process of being updated. Submitted

Time to fall back Terry Fox in the schools Cache Creek Elementary School students held their own annual Terry Fox Run on Oct. 17, starting from the school and running to the nearby park. The younger grades ran around the school grounds.

Daylight Savings ends in the early hours of Sunday, Nov. 2 and we go back to Standard Time until March 8, 2015. In order to prevent missing scheduled events on Nov. 2, as sometimes happens when the clocks give the wrong time, set them back one hour before going to bed on Nov. 1. Daylight Savings Time was introduced to Canada in 1916 in Manitoba. Most, but not all, parts of Canada now observe the time changes.

DST is finished it’s that time again Time. Where did it go and who took it? To whomever has it, I want the Summer back! Everyone I talk to says the same thing: Where did the time go? Where did the summer go? How is it that the year is nearly over when it was just April? As a topic, time enthralls us just as much as the weather does, and we can spend the rest of our lives disecting and discussing it. “Time is the longest distance between two places,” said Tennessee Williams. A similar sentiment was expressed by Zall’s Second Law: “How long a minute is, depends on which side of the bathroom door you’re on.” However, Murphy’s Second Law seems to be my own personal challenge in this lifetime: “Everything takes longer than you think.” Adults, of course, have a different sense of time than children do. We mark the passing of time with events. For pre-school children, those events may be birthdays, Christmas or other celebrations. School children may think in terms of birthdays, Christmas and summer vacation. As we age, we eliminate the birthday celebrations and add things like pay days, mortgage payments, vacation, medical appointments, school events and birthday parties for our children... and the list goes on until we are so focussed on the next “event” that months have passed, even years, before we notice where we are, and that we’re not 18 anymore. It takes some people longer than others to notice. For myself, winter weather is something I notice right away. It’s not that I don’t like winter. I just don’t like having to drive in it - which means changing the tires, cleaning the snow and frost off the windows, plugging it in at night, trying to keep to my lane during late night snowfalls, etc. But that is life. We take the good with the bad. It’s time again for our semi-annual time change to take place. This Sunday, Nov. 2, set your alarms for 2 am so that you can wake up and set your clocks back an hour to 1 am. And that’s just part of the bad.

Re Barbara Hendricks letter to The Journal about my article on Dorothy and Sybil Parke. Dear Editor I am well aware of the history of the native peoples of this area. I have worked for two native bands: Bonaparte and Cooks’ Ferry. I have books in my library that have been useful to me for many years, including James Teit’s magnificent histories, as well as many other books outlining, with superb photographs, the rich culture of the native peoples’ of B.C. I have immersed myself in native culture both in the north and south Cariboo for many years. I heartily resent the implication that my not mentioning the native history of the region is an omission of bias. The article focused on the two women, obviously. That was the gist of the article. And does it really matter whether Dorothy went by train to All Hallowes, or by stagecoach? I am also well aware that the railroad was built at the time that Dorothy attended All Hallowes. In one interview, she mentioned to me that a troop train passed the station at Yale during the First World War, and the girls of All Hallowes were standing on the station platform. The whistles and shouts from the troops had been a source of embarrassment. When a journalist deSee LETTER on p. 5 scribes the land as ‘emp-

Words misunderstood ty’, she does not mean ‘empty’ in the literal sense of the word. Of course there were people in the Hat Creek Valley: I have interviewed some of them. I meant empty, in the sense that, for the time, the Upper Hat Creek Valley was isolated. Horse and wagon were in common use for years. I like the word, empty. That is, sans hot dog stands, big box stores, the kind of stuff we consider the results of progress. And I am well aware that the Upper Hat Creek Valley was the habitation of native Indians for thousands of years. I’ve mentioned the fact in numerous articles, both in The Journal, and other publications. And never have I ever used the words, ‘uncivilized and wild’ pertaining to native Indians. That was quite a stretch, Barbara, inferring that my lack of mention of the habitation of natives meant that I considered them with the terms you have used. I think an apology Letter from p. 4

The Sweet Lowdown Nov. 24: oldtime bluegrass

is in order. About that little log school at the foot of 20 Mile hill, that Barbara mentions - Jim Baker attended that school. And as she pointed out, so did other kids from the ranches thereabouts. Yet, Barbara writes, “No children living along Loon Lake ever attended this school to my knowledge.” Jim Baker lived with his parents on the Loon Lake road for years. Jim even took us over the original road that Barbara mentioned, over the mountain. It was the only way you could get into the Loon Lake valley. Jim told me there was no road along Loon Lake at the time he went to that log school. He took the route Barbara mentions. You know, I don’t mind when readers pick up some detail that I’ve neglected or decided not to include in the numerous articles published over the past 40 years. But when other motives are implied, that is going a stretch too far. Esther Darlington MacDonald Ashcroft

Trick or Treating Safety Tips Every year children anxiously count down the days until they are able to put on their costumes and head out into the neighborhood in search of candy. Although Halloween is meant to be a fun occasion for the young and the old alike, it can also be unsafe. Costumes may impair a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and motor function. Halloween is in the top three among holidays that produce the most visits to hospital emergency rooms. Finger and hand injuries account for 17.6 percent of injuries, and children ages 10 to 14 sustain the greatest proportion of Halloween injuries. Trips and falls also account for a high number of injuries. There are also a good deal of children who become injured before Halloween arrives, many of whom sustain lacerations when carving pumpkins. To make Halloween a safe holiday, children and adults can heed these suggestions. * Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. Although kids might want to wear shoes that match the costume, shoes that fit well and are comfortable are a safer bet. This will help prevent tripping and falling over cumbersome shoes. It also reduces the risk of developing blisters and discomfort when walking from home to home. * Go trick-or-treating in groups. Children should not be allowed to go out in search of candy alone. Going in a group means

that someone can get help if need be. Also, there is safety in numbers. Predators wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t view a child as an easy target if he

or she is with fellow trick-ortreaters. * Be visible. Since daylight saving time begins shortly after

Halloween, there are fewer hours of daylight for trick-ortreating. When Halloween falls on a weekday, children have to wait until after school to venture out, and it can quickly become dark. Therefore, make sure that children are equipped with flashlights and put reflective tape on their costumes so they will be more visible to fellow pedestrians and motorists. * Stick to the sidewalks. Children should stay on sidewalks and cross the street only at established crosswalks. * Do not enter homes. Unless a child is with an adult and the home is owned by a trusted friend, kids should not enter homes for treats. * Avoid candles and jack-olanterns. A costume can easily catch on fire, so it is best to steer clear of candles, luminaries and lit pumpkins. * Bring water. Costumes can become hot and uncomfortable, especially when worn for long periods of time. Be sure children have water to rehydrate themselves. * Accessorise safely. Select flexible swords and knives if they are accompanying a costume. Avoid rigid items that can cause injuries. * Examine all candy before eating. Before kids have their first bite, parents should inspect candy wrappers to determine if there has been any tampering. Also, avoid homemade treats from homes unless you know the people who prepared the items.

Wastech, co-operator of the Cache Creek Landfill with the Village of Cache Creek, is a proud member of the community. Enjoy a safe and fun Halloween! wa s t e ch . c a

Marg DURNIN for Mayor Cache Creek 1. My husband Al and I moved to a farm north of 16 Mile in Fall 2006; I had moved my parents here before us. 2. Our income is mainly from farming (raising meat goats) and rental income from the ‘Moritz’s Cabins’ on Quartz Rd. that we purchased in 2007.

3. My volunteer work has been with the Bonaparte Watershed Stewardship Society: I sat on the board for about three years, served a term as Secretary. I have sat on national boards, and done other community work - see next Q. 4. The closest experience in community leadership was being President of a Community League in Edmonton when I was a new homeowner and young mother. I took a lead role in opposing City plans for a raised rapid transit line through the community, and made alternative proposals that eventually were chosen. When I took over from an ‘old guard’ president who did not encourage involvement, and started new initiatives like playground improvement and skating rink rehabilitation, suddenly all kinds of new people got involved! This taught me that board renewal is essential to encourage people to see an organization as open to them.

the loss of the community bus service is hurting a segment of our population who find it difficult to speak out. There has been a resistance in Council to invest in added staff to make programs happen, but there has been major progress in recreation and horticulture since staff were hired. Pursuing economic development with good marketing is a big task that takes continuity and specific skills. 6. Create open government policies. Involve and inform citizens. Take care to understand our population, and what are their different needs. Improve the community’s appearance and summer activities for tourists. Actively market the benefits of living and doing business here in specific, targeted ways - hiring staff as needed. Celebrate the community in 2017. Term limits for all on Council?

5. Involving people in decisions that will affect them is critical for me. There is a view that people don’t want to know about plans and reports, but I think they are not presented in a clear and understandable way. Council should strengthen planning and follow through better. Caring for the needs and interests of all citizens is one of my concerns. I feel

WATER MAIN & HYDRANT FLUSHING Please be advised that the Village of Ashcroft will be flushing water mains and hydrants for a couple of weeks beginning October 23rd (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.

November • Week 1 ARIES - Conflicting messages confuse you this week, Aries. Just don’t let this confusion keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose a course and stick with it. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Don’t be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what’s going on around you instead of being the center of attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for a change. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week you may feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most of this opportunity to share your thoughts. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may find it hard to establish your priorities this week, but you have a good head on your shoulders and will figure out the path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they’re out in the light of day. You don’t like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you’re feeling.

John RANTA for Mayor Cache Creek 1.

Lived in Cache Creek for 42 years. 2. Retired Greyhound Bus Driver, husband and father of four children, currently serving as Mayor of Cache Creek. 3. Attending many community events and meetings both here and provincially is more than full time

work. I do my best to represent the Village whenever possible and make this a personal priority. I have received the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for community service. 4. Presently serving my eighth term as Mayor and as Cache Creek’s representative at the TNRD. Served as President of the Union of BC Municipalities, Chair of the TNRD, and on many other organizations which assist in raising the profile of Cache Creek. I have received the highest certificate awarded by the Local Government Leadership Academy. 5. The number one priority for Cache Creek is Economic Development. I am pleased to support the expansion of the Cache Creek Landfill, the mining exploration at 17 mile, work with developers and builders, and support local businesses to the best extent possible. I have worked hard to ensure the success of the methane power generation project, and to attract new businesses. We have the lowest tax rates in the region. We continue to work to improve the appearance of the community, increase opportunities for activities like free swimming, free fitness center, new library, youth group, movie nights and ball hockey. Park projects include renovation of the playground, outdoor fitness equipment, solar panels at the pool, and the walkway expansion. We have also accomplished a major water treatment upgrade. We have a road project currently underway. Council has maintained a zero debt fiscal environment. We have established a Landfill Legacy Reserve which enhances our financial security for years to come. Our recent Volunteer Appreciation event showed how strongly the residents support the community. I will continue to advocate for improved health care and other services for our community by working with regional partners and being a strong voice both at home and at the provincial and national level through relationships with key decision makers. I will make sure Council has clear strategies to move the Village forward.

PUBLIC NOTICE Construction of the Cache Creek Landfill Extension begins this fall. Users of the area should expect construction activities and stay alert for new signage. For project updates and more info, contact: community@belkorp.com

Authorized by Lisa Dafoe, Financial Agent (250) 457-9917.

Martin DALSIN for Cache Creek Councillor Hello Cache Creek voters, my name is Martin Dalsin and I’d like you to consider voting for me on Nov. 15 or at one of the Advance Polls. 1. My wife and I have lived in Cache Creek for 14 years, with the exception of the three years I worked in Chase, but kept our house here during that time, since it has been our intent to stay in Cache Creek since we first moved here. 2. Being a recent retiree, I have the time to focus on Council business, and have attended Council meetings regularly as a member of the public since my retirement. 3. I currently volunteer for: Graffiti Days Committee (although not able to participate this year); Thompson-Nicola Film Commission; and TNRD Solid Waste Management Plan Monitoring Advisory Committee. My past volunteer involvement includes the Cache Creek Beautification Committee; Economic Development Committee; and gym attendant. Continued on p. 9

4. Although I’ve never served in an elected position before, I have worked in municipal government for over 30 years in a number of different positions. I’ve been responsible for recreation, tourism, economic development, municipal emergency program, senior administration and more. I’ve also been involved in volunteer groups and professional associations in every community I’ve worked in over the past 35 years, often actively serving on the executive, including as chair.

for Cache Creek Councillor

5. There are a number of current issues facing Cache Creek, but they all come back to the same thing: economic development. With declining landfill revenues and the imminent closure of the landfill, economic development is the most important issue facing Cache Creek. Like most taxpayers, I don’t want to see an increase in spending unless it’s necessary. That being said, I think it is necessary that we hire an Economic Development Officer and get a marketing campaign up and running as soon as possible. A study was completed and presented to the public in May 2013, but I haven’t seen as much followup on it as I’d like. I’d also like to see more public participation in Council affairs. I don’t think this is an issue as such, but it is something I’d like to see Council pursue. I’d also like to work more closely with Ashcroft on joint ventures, perhaps starting with something smaller like a joint business license for those businesses that work in both communities. The only other thing I have to add is: please come out and vote and encourage others to do the same.

1. Six and a half years. 2. Project Coordinator for the Wood Waste 2 Rural Heat Project working with communities helping them to understand biomass heating as a form of economic development. 3. Current: Ashcroft Secondary Boys Soccer Coach; Ashcroft Secondary PAC; South Cariboo Minor Soccer (various positions); and Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society. Previous: First Ashcroft Scouts; Cache Creek Fire Dept. and Cache Creek Elementary School – SPC. 4. No. 5. The two biggest issues for me are economic development and supporting families. Our community is struggling economically and we need to implement a strong plan that will stop this decline. When revenues from the Landfill are gone, we need to have a strong and diverse base to fill the gap. Our community has seen an aging of the population and a loss of families. We need to actively work to ensure that services and activities are available in Cache Creek. 6. I believe that we have to develop the capacity within our town to implement the economic plans previously developed. We have to be dedicated to this task and ensure there are enough financial and capacity resources. The airport commission has identified a plan to go forward. We need to strive to implement this plan as well as for other assets such as the park structure, community hall, fitness centre, etc.

COMMUNITY We need to identify family needs and wants, then address them. A first step would be to develop a better system of contacting people and allowing them to address staff using technology such as email, newsletters, Facebook and other forms of electronic communication. When there is interest in activity, the municipality should work to facilitate that activity either by providing space, admin support, etc. We also need to better integrate with neighbouring communities so that all can benefit. As a parent who often is driving to other communities three or four times a day for activities, having things happening in Cache Creek would be a windfall. 7. For the past nine years I have worked with local, provincial, federal and First Nations governments across the province, examining issues such as waste management, energy, economic development, transportation and infrastructure. As an engineer, I bring a level of technical knowledge that is needed for a strong, small rural community. I have chosen to live my life in Cache Creek because I believe in what it is and what it can be. Simply, I would like to help Cache Creek.

Herb HOFER for Cache Creek Councillor 1) Since 1963 2) Retired 3) I do not belong to an organisation, but I am always there when help is needed, whether it is a lawn in the summer, a driveway in the winter or transportation to appointments etc. I do what I can, since one day, I might need help too.

er sized proposals - something that we can supply the infrastructure and labor to support their operation. We need to develop more industrial land available for new development. The current industrial base is all privately owned and may or may not be available. I feel we need a dedicated business development officer to promote and search out any potential opportunity, who understands what we want and have to offer and can give answers on a “sooner than later” approach any day of the week. Hwy 1 through town needs to calm down with speed and noise. As well, the north entrance needs “beautification” of its own. It seems to have stopped at the school crossing and yet the majority of visitors stop and eat lunch on the north side. If we can consult with the current business owners and work together I am sure we can achieve this with minimal cost. 7. I am glad to see we have a full slate of candidates this election. This to me is a sign of change. Some fresh ideas and approach will re-ignite the passion that we all have, regardless of who is elected. To make this work however we all need to exercise our right to vote. Make your concerns clear. Show that we care about our future and want to make it work.

Evelyn Jean Baehr

(Nee Robertson) The Cariboo lost a descendant of its pioneer families with the death of Evelyn Jean Baehr on Oct. 20, 2014 at the Williams Lake Seniors Village. Jean was born March 3, 1925 in Ashcroft, BC, the third daughter of Charles and Evelyn (Pollard) Robertson. Her mother died at an early age and Jean and her older sisters, Ena and Ruby, were raised by her father and Aunt Carrie Engeman, until Charles remarried some years later. Jean grew up on the family ranch in Clinton and attended school there until Grade 10, the highest level of schooling then available in Clinton. She then attended a business college in Kelowna, BC and upon finishing her own program, taught at this institution for several years. In 1952, she accepted a position as a secretary for the RCMP in Whitehorse, Yukon. Following her love for travel, she moved to London, England, and worked there for several years before touring Europe and returning to Naramata, BC to work at the Naramata Centre. In 1959 she completed her high school graduation by correspondence and entered the U.B.C. Faculty of Education attaining her degree in 1962. She taught in Chilliwack and Gibsons Landing before accepting a three year position at a Christian Seminar House in Kyoto, Japan. Upon returning to Canada she taught at Merritt, BC and the College of New Caledonia in Prince George. Here she met and married Joe Baehr in 1978 and moved to the Baehr Stock Farm at Woodpecker. Both Jean and Joe were very hard workers and enjoyed the ranching life. Despite health issues, they operated the farm until 2011, when they retired and moved to Williams Lake. Jean was predeceased by her husband Joseph Baehr, parents Charles and Evelyn (Pollard) Robertson, sisters, Ruby Robertson, Ena Reeder, and Sandra Wagner, and sisters-in-law Kate Loreth, and Alma Baehr, brothers-in-law, William and Paul Baehr. She is survived by her brother, Bob (Marlene) Robertson, in-Iaws, John (Jane) Baehr, Anne Fischer, and Mary Baehr as well as many cousins, nephews, nieces and numerous friends. A Service of Remembrance was held Oct. 25, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Williams Lake, BC., with a reception following at Compassionate Care Funerals, 180 Comer Street, Williams Lake, BC. Those wishing to honour Jean’s memory by way of donation may do so to a favourite charity. Her cremated remains will be inurned at a later date in the Clinton Pioneer Cemetery. Compassionate Care Funerals entrusted with all arrangements. 250-392-3336
