Gas disaster averted A serious incident at the Chevron pumps in Cache Creek could have ended worse than they did when an unattended gas pump poured 30 L of gasoline on the ground. On Feb. 5 at 4 pm police were called to the Cache Creek service station to assist the Fire Dept. with a possible evacuation of the area due to fuel overflow from one of the pumps. Apparently, one of the customers began filling his vehicle when the Call of Nature struck. The 27 year old Spanish tourist jammed a cigarette lighter under the trigger of the gas pump to keep it going while he headed for the restroom. When he returned, the parking lot was abuzz with activity and gasoline was spilling from the nozzle still positioned in the full gas tank. It is suspected that some of the gas went into the nearby storm drain. The Ministry of Environment was informed of the incident, the man received a tongue lashing from several people on hand, and he had to pay $113 for his “fill up” before continuing on his way to Vancouver.
Rural revival vowed in Throne Speech

by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government presented a cautious preview of the coming year with its speech from the throne Tuesday, predicting a rural revival through industrial growth while lowering earlier aggressive expectations for mining and natural gas exports. The speech announced the formation of a rural advisory committee to “provide independent and impartial advice on helping rural B.C. increase opportunities, manage growth and meet its full potential in communities big and small.” As the government continues to await investment decisions for liquefied natural gas facilities, the speech noted that LNG “could create 100,000 jobs and the revenues to eliminate our debt,” adding that exports are needed to maintain a gas industry that already employs 13,000 people. The speech referred to five new mines opening since 2011, but avoided mention of northeast coal mines that have closed due to low commodity prices that also threaten the continued operation of metal mines in B.C. “This year in transportation, your government is working in partnership with Alberta and Saskatchewan through the New West Partnership to add capacity and resolve bottlenecks to strengthen our Asia-Pacific gateway,” the speech said.

MEMBERS & BONA FIDE GUESTS WELCOME
Whole Health Care, Kamloops, servicing Clinton, Barriere, Savona and Merritt, is now coming to Ashcroft to provide basic and advanced foot care to area residents. To be a Foot Care Nurse (FCN) one must be an LPN or RN with a recognized foot care course. Colleen Thom of Whole Health Care is an RN and FCN. Her knowledge and years of experience have taught her that client safety must be her number one concern. It is important for the client to know and understand what is required to care for their feet. Special skills are necessary for the diabetic foot and for those with circulation issues. Medical standards require that certain procedures are followed. Foot soaking is not the acceptable standard due to the high risk of infection. All foot care is done with the use of sterilized pre-packaged instruments. Treatment is complex and takes approximately one hour. She wishes the residents of Ashcroft and Cache Creek to know that nursing foot care is for all ages. Colleen’s first clinic will be on February 26, 2015 at 429 Ranch Road, around back. To learn more of what is involved or to book your appointment, call 250-374-1735 or 250-819-1632.

Feb. 3 at 10:30 pm police were called to The Nugget by a 31 year old female tenant for a disturbance. She claimed that the 60 year old female tenant was drunk and banging on all of the doors. Police attended and found no evidence of intoxication in the older woman. The younger tenant appeared confused when questioned about her earlier claims and was told to speak to the manager about her problems with the other tenants.
Man wanted
Feb. 6 Ashcroft RCMP received a request for assistance from the Stl’atl’imx Tribal Police in executing an arrest warrant for Daniel Martin, 42, who is believed to be living in Ashcroft. Martin is wanted for failing to appear in Kamloops Court for family mainenance.
Suspicious noises
Feb. 6 at 11 pm police received a call from an elderly woman on Hwy 97 who reported hearing suspicious noises around her house. She was worried that someone might be trying to break in. Police attended and nothing out of the ordinary was found apart from
a strong wind that was blowing large bits of debris around and possibly making the suspicious noises.
Skateboard accident
Feb. 8 at 10:45 am police received a 911 call. There was no one talking into the phone, but they could hear voices at the other end. One was a child’s voice asking for an ambulance and the other was an adult’s voice. Police traced the source of the call to a house on Stage Rd. where they found a 17 year old Cache Creek male being treated by ambulance attendents for a large gash on his year. The teen had been skateboarding down Stage Rd. when he lost control and fell, hitting his head on the asphalt. He was not wearing a helmet or pads. He was taken to the hospital for further treatment.
Fight between brothers
Feb. 8 at 8:15 pm police received a 911 call from a residence on Hwy 99 where two adult brothers were fighting. When police arrived, the younger brother had already left. The older brother, 34, advised police that he had managed to pin down his intoxicated younger brother, 26, and made him promise to leave his house. The younger brother left and hitched a ride back to Lee Creek.
Threatening messages
Feb. 8 at 11:45 pm police received a call from an Ashcroft woman who reported receiving threats on her Facebook page from a 36 year old Red Deer man who threatened to harm and kill her. The matter is under investigation and the Red Deer RCMP Detachment is assisting.
Watch for rocks
Feb. 9 at 10 am police received a complaint of significant rocks on Hwy 97C through the bluffs. Interior Roads was notified. Motorists are reminded that falling rocks are a hazard in the bluffs at this time of year when freezing and thawing temperatures, combined with rain, loosen the rocks when end up in the driving lanes. Most are small but some can damage a vehicle if they are run over.

CCES drummers given a special gift If it seems like the grade six and seven students at Cache Creek Elementary walk to the beat of a different drum, it might well be because they do! The Cache Creek World Percussion Ensemble, known as Passport to the students and staff at Cache Creek Elementary, was formed under the direction of music teacher David. Dumont at the beginning of the school year and has rapidly become part of the school’s culture over the last few months. With their first public performance at last December’s Christmas concert behind them, Passport is currently preparing a number of percussion pieces to be performed at the end of the school year that will illustrate their mission to celebrate cultural differences and promote social responsibility through music. This was a message that has apparently rung true with the staff and management of People’s Drug Store in Ashcroft as Store Manager, Irene Dumont, was on hand at a recent Passport rehearsal on the behest of store owner Victor Ikari to present the group with a Bass Djembe or Djun Djun. The Djun Djun is an extremely special edition to Passport as it is often considered the heartbeat of the djembe ensemble and will be featured prominently in all our concerts to come. With this gift, students at Cache Creek Elementary now have the opportunity to have an authentic experience discovering, playing and performing music from varied cultures. People’s Drug Mart’s contribution is greatly appreciated by the students and staff of Cache Creek Elementary and is an outstanding example of how local business owners have supported, and continue to support, our student’s growth into well-rounded, community minded individuals that will, one day, be leaders themselves. David Dumont

Celebrating Ashcroft’s “Heart” - Railway Avenue As part of the province’s annual Heritage Week, the Village of Ashcroft is presenting “Main Street: At the Heart of the Community” on Sunday, Mar. 1 at 2pm in the Community Hall on Bancroft. This free event - featuring photographs, presentations, and skits, with refresh-
ments provided - will look at Railway Avenue and its businesses over the decades, as Ashcroft’s main street evolved, changed, and renewed itself. And organizers hope that attendees will contribute their own memories of Railway over the years. Railway Avenue was in large part shaped by the
One of Ashcroft’s “mainstreet” businesses: The Ashcroft Drug Store on Railway Avenue, c. 1897. There was a drug store on the site until 2013, when Peoples Drug Mart moved to its current location.
Canadian Pacific, and CP’s decision to have a station and depot in the new town of Ashcroft. Had the CP chosen a different route, Railway Avenue - and Ashcroft would look very different to how it does today. The presentation will begin with a look at where Railway might have been, and then examine the various businesses which were attracted to the street because of its proximity to the rail line. One early entrepreneur went to extreme lengths to ensure that his establishment was as close to the station as possible; a shrewd, if labour-intensive, undertaking! By the time of World War I, Railway Avenue was a bustling thoroughfare crowded with shops, businesses, bars, restaurants, and hotels. Some felt it was a little too bustling; when the government announced that a Public Building would be constructed at the corner of 4th and Brink Streets, the idea was applauded by The Journal. “[It will] eliminate the ‘front-street-for-business-or-nothing’ idea [and] relieve the front street congestion which has obtained ever since Ashcroft made any pretense of importance.” The fire of 1916 devastated much of Railway from 4th Street north; but like a phoenix the town rose from the ashes and re-built itself.
The fire cleared the way for a vibrant Chinatown to take root in the heart of the town, and a few years later the cannery complex spread along both sides of Railway, bringing new economic life to the town. An Epsom salts factory also provided jobs; and did you know Railway once boasted its own soya sauce plant? Railway Avenue hasn’t always been all business, however. Fans of a certain type of racing found that Railway was ideally suited for their purposes, and before the skating rink was built the north end of the street would be flooded to provide skaters with a venue. Today the Rodeo and Santa Claus parades take over Railway each year, providing entertainment for hundreds of people. Anyone who would like to share their own memories of Railway at the event is encouraged to do so. Write one or two hundred words about a favourite long-gone shop or business, or a memorable parade, or what the street looked like years back. Bring it to the event and either read it out yourself, or have someone read it for you. Anyone who would like to contribute should contact the author at (250) 4532045, or by e-mail at broden@ashcroftbc.ca Barbara Roden

It’s a scary cyberworld out there
Did you observe Safer Internet Day earlier this week? Did you even know that Feb. 10 was Safer Internet Day? It’s an international initiative from the European Union, mainly aimed at keeping children safe. But really, anyone can fall victim to criminals using the internet. It’s enough to make one long for the days before Internet. Now I know how my parents felt about television. There were no televisions in their homes when they were growing up, just as there was no internet in my home. If my parents wanted social activities after the chores were done, they went to the local dances or joined a church group - or went to the local pool hall, which was also considered “bad”. My parents did everything they could to part us from the television - signed us up for after school activities, provided backyard activities for us like baseball and skating, and provided fun options that didn’t include television. Didn’t stop me from spending a great deal of time there, but I also spent many hours outside playing, riding, exploring... Now I work in front of a computer all day and spend half of my time at home at one. The Internet offers so much - information, social contact, entertainment... Much of which was never imagined when the Internet was created. Unfortunately, criminals will always cash in on opportunities, and the Internet offers them the anonymity to fool people into trusting them. And placing all of our personal, medical and financial information into digital files leaves it vulnerable to the unscrupulous ones who know how to access it. Be cautious with the Internet. Know the risks and be safe. www.saferinternet.org
Correction The Journal made an error in the Jan. 29 story titled “Constantia hopes to start phase 2” when it stated that Constantia Resources has signed a Land Use Agreement with the Bonaparte Band. This statement is incorrect and misleading. The Bonaparte Indian Band has not signed any agreements with Constantia Resources.
SNOWDROPS IN CACHE CREEK are appearing four weeks ahead of their usual arrival VICTORIA – The B.C. education ministry put on a forum on the future of education last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world. I watched the proceedings via webcast from the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, which gives you a hint about the forces pressing in on our century-old industrial model of schooling. First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is director of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the international problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage. Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know but what you can do with what you know.” Some education systems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined. He said these days, almost any student can pass any multiple-choice test if they have a smartphone. The question for parents is what to do “if you want your child to be smarter than a smartphone.” The OECD runs international testing that consistently ranks B.C. and Canada among the best schools in the world, and Schleicher described how that testing has evolved to keep up. But our progress in the past 10 years has tended to be slower than some Asian countries, despite B.C. being on
ing drills of the basics. (You can find a video archive at www.bcedplan.ca.) Yong sparked a lively discussion about the need for foundation skills, which he and others agreed remain vital to success. The issue seems to be how to instil those Tom Fletcher basics while avoiding the disentfletcher@blackpress.ca gagement of students who see school as irrelevant to their lives. Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced at the forum that the province is about to unveil the “high end of investment” in education. He warned against the trap of new curriculum that moves toward inthe industrial school model, “pouring dividual learning for all students. And he said there will be a series of experimoney in” to “do more of the same.” Some of the best results emer- ments conducted at yet-to-be-identified ging from a decade of digitally-driv- B.C. schools to pioneer new models of en globalization have been achieved learning.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Passing lane needed Dear Editor I need to make comment on the subject of “Passing in the bluffs” (Police Report, Feb. 5). This road is safe to do 80 km/hr. The problem really started when some highway official had a brain fart and put up the 60 km/hr sign which some people actually believe that this is the speed limit and have to do it. If they go back into there drivers test book the will see this is a suggested speed limit for those who can’t drive. They also took out the passing areas which allowed people to pass legally. There were only a few that drove slow before these so called experts came up with their nightmare decisions. If you don’t want to be tailgated then do the speed limit and people won’t pass on a double solid line. The road is more than capable for 80 km/hr. You are causing road rage. Those 60km/hr signs should be taken down a.s.a.p. Glen Joss Cache Creek
Resident hunter protest pays off by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has adjusted its plan to give guide-outfitters and their non-resident clients a greater share of big-game hunting permits, after protests from resident hunters around the province. When the plan was announced in December, the government calculated that it represented a shift of 168 animals in limited-entry hunt areas from resident hunters to guide outfitters. After listening to the protests, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced Friday that is being adjusted to a shift of about 60 animals to guide-outfitters. The changes affect bull elk and either-sex elk permits on Vancouver Island, moose in the Thompson and Omineca regions, bison in the See HUNTING on p. 12

Having a goal to each season is important to stay motivated. You’ll find most athletes who strive for fitness are constantly changing their goals. Obviously as one goal is achieved, most will choose either a harder goal, or something completely different. Last year Vicky Trill had a huge goal of completing the Rattlesnake Island swim: a 7km open water swim across Okanagan Lake and back. This involved countless hours of training in the pool and in open water. This was a great goal to have and she completed it. Kudos to her. Over a decade ago, my wife and I joined a few of her family members and created a relay team to complete the Canadian Death Race in Grande Cache. This is a 125km ultra marathon in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Each person basically ran a 25km Leg with varying difficulties to complete the 125km in under 24 hours. Before I signed up, I didn’t even know ultra marathons existed, never mind what they were. An ultra marathon is any running event that is 50km or longer. You can run the Death Race in a relay team of five people, which is the most popular method. Or you can run it solo. So that’s all by yourself, running for 125km in under 24 hours. You run up and over three mountains, with 17,000
feet of elevation change. When I was “training” for the event, I was not a runner. I signed up for the event to join the family as it was something my wife wanted to do. During training and during the race I could not understand how anyone could do the event solo. I thought those people running solo were like gods, or something immortal. I just didn’t “get it”. I completed my Leg of “only” 27km that day. My portion was Leg 2, it was up and over two mountain summits and back to Grande Cache, and considered the most technical leg of the race. I limped for weeks afterwards from the pain in my quads and knees. I finished though, and passed the “coin” to the next family member who started Leg 3. My wife finished Leg 5 of the race in the dark, with a headlamp, on narrow little bush trails in under 24 hours. We completed the event. It was awesome. When I moved back to Ashcroft eight years ago, I started running a bit to lose weight. After running a few 10k’s, a few marathons, and MANY triathlons including Ironman I have realized that those people who were running solo beside me at the Death Race weren’t immortal. They simply knew how to train for a seemingly impossible event. Over the last few years, I’ve learned that as well. So I’ve decided to go back to Grande Cache and complete the Death Race solo. On Aug 2, I will run the Canadian Death Race for 125 kms in under 24 hours. How will this happen? I’ll have to train, and that training began last Fall. By running approximately 100kms per week, I’ll run uphills, I’ll run downhills, I’ll run offroad, onroad and on trails. I’ll run fast some days, and I’ll run slow some days. Heck, I’ll even do some short “little” marathons for training.

One hundred years later CN Rail executives, MLA Jackie Tegart and some Ashcroft Council members met recently to celebrate the centennial of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway’s Last Spike near Ashcroft. L-R: CN Regional Manager Emily Hamer, Manager of Network Strategies John Hall, MLA Tegart, Superintendent Francois Boucher, Ashcroft Mayor Jack Jeyes and councillors Barbara Roden and Alf Trill attended the remembrance at the Grand Central Station Restaurant on Jan. 23 and hosted by Ashcroft Terminal.
Prayers, suppers and services discussed Seven ladies met on Feb. 3 in the United Church Hall. President Reta Robertson warmly welcomed us and thanked us for our dedication. We stated the United Church Women’s Purpose together. Jacklin Desrosiers led the Devotional with a reading from Earth Gospel written by Sir Hamilton Poore. The scripture was Psalm 89:6A stating that we shouldn’t worry about things but to trust in God and His blessings. She closed with prayer. The agenda was approved as circulated. The minutes were approved and passed. There were several items of Old Business to review and plan for. Zion United Church will be hosting the World Day of Prayer on March 6 and 7. Watch for a notice in The Journal. The theme is on the Bahamas and guest speakers will be Ken and Molly Platz. All welcome, men too. Plans and decisions were made for our up and coming 69th Bean Supper. Watch for posters and details in The Journal. We each brought three Valentine Cards for the residents of Garden Oasis at the hospital to use. The U.C.W. Will be leading the worship time on Feb. 22 so we were given parts for this service. There were many pieces of correspondence, from Our Daily Bread ministries,
UNITED IN SPIRIT United Church Women Phyllis Gray email from Carmen whose ministry we support, a U.C.W. Newsletter, email from Naramata, and a donation receipt and thank you. Reports were given, and Colleen Mierau, our treasurer, handed out her written report which we approved. Dorothy Pears delivered her Sunshine report and stated she had sent out five cards. Hilda Drinkwater gave a verbal report for Archives; and Phyllis Gray stated her report on Publicity. Reta Robertson reported verbally for Outreach and thanked all those who continue to give her used stamps and Campbell labels. These items are sent off to help with Christian work
elsewhere. So a big thank you to all who help us with this work. We then paused for refreshments and a social time. New Business brought us together again and as the Maundy Thursday service will be in our church on April 2, we will be having a potluck dinner in conjunction with the service beginning at 5:30 pm. We will bring three Easter cards for the Garden Oasis residents to use to our next meeting, which will be March 3 at 2 pm. Devotional and refreshment ladies were noted. If any ladies are interested in our work and would like to come as a visitor or would like to join us, they would be most welcome. We closed with the U.C.W. Benediction.

Indians above. Ashcroft was then very much in ‘embryo’, consisting of the “wretched establishment” mentioned above, and another building, a log cabin. A few weeks later, Dr. Wade visited the site again on horseback from Spences Bridge, following the rail line and such trails that existed, eventually passing through Penny’s ranch at Walhachin. While at a construction camp there, Dr. Wade’s horse became ill. He abandoned the horse and now had to find a way back to Spences Bridge. As he pondered the dilemma, a raft of logs from the Shuswap swung by, drifting down river. By dent of some acrobatic dexterity the doctor probably didn’t know he possessed, he managed to jump on the raft which was moving along at a ‘goodly rate’ toward Spences Bridge. When they reached Ashcroft, passing over the Bonaparte white water apparently, without incident, the skipper of the raft, decided to pole it into shore. The raft was tied up for the night, and the “wretched establishment” calling itself a hotel, was entered. As soon as the proprietor learned that Dr. Wade was one of the rafting party, he was advised that there was a very sick man upstairs in one of the rooms. “He is a stupid man. We can’t wake him up. He’s been taking opium,” Dr. Wade was told. But when the doctor visited the man, whose name was Carey and found him comatose with only a few hours to live, Dr. Wade determined that the man wasn’t suffering from opium he had been given a severe blow to the head with a shovel. The man’s skull had been fractured. Dr. Wade learned that there had been a fight between Carey and another man named W. Abieshire, and the latter had struck Carey with the shovel. The fracture occurred at the base of the skull. An inquest was held soon after where the inn keeper maintained several times that Carey had been taking opium, even after Dr. Wade had made the post mortum. Dr. Wade concluded that the story was a lie, made to protect the said Abieshire. ‘That rascal had taken to the hills’, as soon as Carey had lost consciousness. The authorities were notified and got hot on Abieshire’s trail. But the killer had made it to the Coeur d’Alene country. There, he got himself into another fight. This time, however, he was shot and killed. Justice was seen to have been served, one
way or the other. Once the CP tracks were laid in Ashcroft, the hamlet began to grow by leaps and bounds. First a store opened, then a competitor came along and opened another store. But it wasn’t until the bridge was built across the Thompson that business really began to literally roll. Ashcroft was seen as the Gateway to the Cariboo and the headquarters of the B.C. Express Company. Large warehouses were built, teamsters came and went with their freight wagons, ox teams, stage coaches. The little hamlet became a thriving village. Twenty years later, Dr. Wade once again found himself in Ashcroft bound for points north. This time, in mid winter, in a “stage on runners”, which pulled out with much mail and several passengers. It was dark when the vehicle stopped for the night at the 83 Mile House. The stars were shining brightly. The party resumed their journey at daybreak the following morning. The temperature was 50 below. About 8 pm that night, they arrived at an inn. Dr. Wade doffed his fur coat on one of the hooks in the bar room, washed his hands and face in refreshing warm water in tin basins, and proceeded to share some drinks with the cowboys and the stage driver. He went to supper in the dining room, and those in the bar room who had asked about his identity, learned who he was, and they realized Dr. Wade had lived in Clinton in 18846, after doing his stint as the railroad medic. Dr. Wade attended the dance at the 150 Mile hotel, but at 2 am, he and other passengers were told to have some breakfast as they were proceeding on to Quesnel at 3:30 am. The doctor reported that he slept all the way along a ‘smoothly beaten road’ to Quesnel. Dr. Wade went on to become the owner of the Kamloops Daily Sentinel, spent a productive, creative life there. His reminiscences are recorded in The Cariboo Road, a book published many years after his death. Dr. Wade saw and lived through the growth of the road when it was the busiest artery in the interior. In fact, for 50 years, the only means of transportation in the Cariboo country. He looked upon its demise with a degree of sadness, but the legacy he has left about that road, much of it demolished when the railroads came though, provides this writer, anyway, with much of the material for my articles.

Give light in times of darkness
There is nothing worse than losing a child, and over the years I have known far too many people who have endured such excruciating agony. Last year alone three of my friends and two acquaintances suffered this unfathomable loss – and then my niece’s baby girl died in late November. When I read last week of the 21-year-old woman who perished in a car accident in Kelowna, I immediately thought of her mother and father and my heart went out to them. The following day I read that it was a fire chief’s daughter and he was one of the first responders on the scene. I don’t even know them, but I cried. I posted the gutwrenching story on Facebook and among all the condo-
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com lences to the family there was a comment from my new friend, Larry Barter. “The greatest gift one can provide these parents is to be available,” he wrote. “Often people will avoid the survivors because they don’t know what to do or say.” He then offered a few suggestions such as: I’m sorry for your loss; I have no idea what you are going through; I don’t know what to say or do; what do you need? Larry knows the in-
conceivable sorrow of losing a child because he lost both of his. Taylor, his eldest son, died 10 years after a terrible car crash had left him severely brain injured at the age of 19. Michael, his younger son, died of a broken heart when he took his own life at the age of 18 – a year and a half after his brother’s devastating accident. “Our tragedies didn’t just affect us,” he said. “They also impacted our family, friends, colleagues and com-
munity. Even strangers were thinking: if it could happen to the Barters it could happen to anyone.” Some individuals offered tremendous support and compassion, others didn’t respond at all. “There were people I knew who would sooner cross the road than talk to me,” Larry said. “What my family and I needed was not to be ignored, but to feel included and connected.” At the time, Larry was the regional director of alcohol and drug services. He is now a clinical counsellor and understands that this kind of avoidance stems from survivor’s guilt. While this reaction might be understandable to people who don’t know what to say, it’s not the least bit helpful to those who are grieving. Other things that didn’t provide solace were well-meaning comments such as: everything happens for a reason; he’s in a better place; time heals all wounds, you can always have more children; and God has a plan. Hearing “I know how
you feel” was not comforting either. “Linda Woods hosts a support group for bereaved parents called The Compassionate Friends of Kelowna,” Larry said. “I sat in a room full of people who had also suffered the loss of a child, but I didn’t know how they felt. I only knew what I was going through.” Asking mourners how they feel and what they need is infinitely more supportive. “My advice is not to avoid people when they’re in such pain,” Larry suggested. “And don’t try to fix it either. You don’t have to know what to say, just let them know you care and you’re available.” After years of therapy over the loss of his beloved boys and the life he once had, Larry eventually got to a point where he consciously decided that he wanted to live and love and contribute. “I will always feel an emptiness and loss without them,” he said. “But where I used to feel like I lived 90 per cent of my life in darkness, I now feel like it’s 95 per cent light. When
www.ash-cache-journal.com A11
the darkness comes in now, I know it will pass.” Loving his sons and keeping their memories alive has helped him get to that place, yet he couldn’t have done it on his own. He needed counselling, and he needed to connect with others. It may appear that
the people mourning a loved are doing just fine. Larry doesn’t want us to be fooled by their facade, and to keep letting them know we’re here for them, for as long as they may need us. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

February • Week 3 ARIES - Aries, tackle a problem that’s been puzzling you headon this week. A direct approach may just provide you the unique perspective you need to crack this nut. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, state your case carefully when you attempt to get your point across at work. Others will appreciate your thoughtful approach and respond positively. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are up to your ears in work and you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet. Rest assured that it’s there, but it could take a few more days in the trenches. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Various responsibilities require your full attention this week, Cancer. Don’t be afraid to accept some help so you can get everything done on time. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are invested in reaching a goal, and those around you are inspired by your gusto. Make the most of your energy and help others harness theirs if given the chance. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you work best when you have a plan in place. While you are not usually appreciative of surprises, this week you are willing to be a little more flexible. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 A disagreement at work has you unsure about what side to support, Libra. Stay neutral for the time being until you can get a better grasp of the situation. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, focus on issues at work this week. Channel your energy into productivity at the office, and know that there will be time to daydream down the road. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You may feel strong winds of change blowing in your direction, Sagittarius, and you do not know what is in store for you. Sometimes it can be exciting to be surprised. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, look forward to the weeks ahead, as some good news is on the horizon. Allow others around you to share in the good times ahead. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, revisit your career goals this week. Even if your goals seem ever-changing, it can be productive to reexamine them from time to time. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Keep things simple this week, Pisces. You will have a lot on your plate in the days ahead, but it’s nothing you can’t handle.

fodils and strawberry shortcake will be available. Last month I wrote that making major life changes all at once in the form of New Year’s resolutions can be overwhelming and unrealistic and I suggested that instead you focus on one theme each month in 2015. In January we considered nutrition. Let’s think about Family and Relationship Building in February. When the day to day living gets us stressed out, we tend to neglect the ones we care about the most. This month let’s try to put the emphasis on positive interaction with those we love. Healthy family relationships help all members of a family feel safe and connected to one another. While all families go through good and difficult times, a family with healthy relationships is still able to interact with one another in a safe and respectful way. Positive interaction between family members can make children feel secure and loved which helps their brain development. It can help to overcome difficulties with children’s eating, sleeping, learning and behaviour. Happy Birthday to Catherine Marcoux Feb. 16, to Ann Trembath Feb. 21 and to Isabel Haining on Feb. 27.
Revisions made Hunting from p. 5
Peace region and bighorn sheep and grizzly bear in
the Kootenays. “I made slight revisions to the hunts for moose, bighorn sheep, grizzly bear, Roosevelt elk and bison to address the concerns I heard after the decision was released,” Thomson said. There are 34 limited-entry hunts in the province that are divided between resident hunters and guide outfitters, who typically guide clients from the U.S. and Europe. Resident hunters enter a regional lottery for the available opportunities. Allocated hunting opportunities represent about eight per cent of the 45,700 big-game animals taken by hunters each year in B.C. In most areas, hunters can purchase a tag for each species that has an open season. Thomson announced the policy change after more than 10 years of consultation with guide outfitters and the B.C. Wildlife Federation and local rod and gun clubs that represent resident hunters. He defended the shift to assist guide outfitters as a trade-off that prevented them from using unoccupied guide territories around the province. Those areas are now left to resident hunters.

on Wednesday evening they could have captured same without resistance. We were all the carnival.” In Clinton it was decided to disband that town’s War Relief Fund, and instead form a Clinton branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund. Both organizations provided assistance to local families suffering hardship because of the absence of a husband or father who had enlisted in the CEF. The ladies of Clinton were active in raising money for the groups, arranging a concert and dance in aid of the War Relief Fund in early January, and planning another concert for Feb. 12. Meanwhile, members of the Red Cross Ladies Knitting Guild in Ashcroft decided to form an independent branch of the Red Cross Society, in order to expand their scope and “do general Red Cross work in connection with the present war”. The ladies had already contributed 240 items for soldiers at the front, including socks, pillow slips, rolled bandages, handkerchiefs, towels, wash cloths, and sweaters. By early February the bulk of the Canadian First Contingent had left England and arrived safely in France, despite Germany’s threat to destroy the transport ships carrying the troops. On Feb. 15 three trainloads of soldiers went through Ashcroft. They were “the western contingent of the second Canadian Expeditionary Force. Their destination is not definitely known, but it is generally conceded that they will proceed direct to England.” Even as the second contingent headed eastward, efforts were underway to recruit men for a third contingent. Major H.T. Wilson, commanding officer of the 31st Regiment of the B.C. Horse in Kamloops, wrote that he had received instructions to recruit more soldiers. Applicants had to fulfill several requirements. They should be between the ages of 18 and 45,

not less than five feet, three inches in height, physically sound, and able to ride a horse. Their eyesight and hearing had to be good, their speech “without impediment”, and their teeth in decent condition; the “loss or decay of 10 teeth will disqualify”. Successful recruits would be paid $1.10 per day, and married men would draw an additional $20 per month separation allowance for their wives and families. Despite the gravity of the situation, R.D. Cumming was able to see the humorous side of the war. On Feb. 13 he wrote “There are rumours that an aeroplane passed over Ashcroft on Wednesday evening last at eight o’clock. Several people saw the searchlight.” However, he hinted that those who saw the “aeroplane” might merely have been possessed of overactive imaginations, for he continued. “There were German Zeppelin movies at the theatre the night before.”
