Sprucing up Spences Bridge had its Spring Town Clean-up last Saturday. (L-R): Mathew Hendricks, Saad Arefin, Tahir Alam, Sadie Hendricks, and Amira Alam were some of the clean up crew’s younger workers.

Cache Creek pushes again for bridge widening Cache Creek Council sensed a glimmer of hope in the provincial government’s new transportation plan, B.C. on the Move. The Village has been asking to have the small bridge on Hwy 97 at the north end of town widened to four lanes for several years now. When the Cariboo Connector was announced in 2005, widening the bridge was listed as being a Phase 1 project. But it fell off the page and now Phase 2 is about to start, along with a major paving project in town..

Mayor John Ranta introduced the topic at the March 23 Council meeting, saying that he didn’t see any mention of small projects in the Plan but hoped that “Maybe since we lobbied so hard there would be mention of the Bonaparte Bridge and what an impediment it is to economic development in Cache Creek.” And there, on page 27 of the plan, is a picture with a caption stating: The Province will work with local governments, including Cache Creek and

Quesnel, to identify future projects priorities to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion through their communities.” “The only thing we’ve lobbied hard for is four-laning the bridge,” he said. Council approved a motion to have the Village administration contact Ministry of Transportation and reference the caption “and say we’re happy to discuss our project priorities with them” as a way of keeping the project on the “front burner” with the Ministry.

Ashcroft residents Monty Downs with Vivian Edwards and Kitty Murray have an idea to turn a portion of the poll park into a fenced area for families and dogs to stretch their legs. The group made their proposal to Ashcroft Council at a March 23 committee meeting, hoping for the south end of the lower terrace, an area about 300x690 feet. “We would like an opportunity to demonstrate that people and pets can recreate together without conflict,” Monty Downs told Council. The group said they would look for grant money to cover the facilities they wanted for the new area if Council approved letting them use the land. Council has not made a decision yet. The group would like to fence the area and have double-gated entrances, drinking water, sitting area with trees for shade, doggie bags and garbage cans, a hard surfaced trail and a large open grassed area for play. Downs said that aside from supporting the Village’s Wellness brand, the new facilities would attract new users to the park and offer social activities for dogs and their owners. He spoke of a place where families with dogs could come and enjoy some time together and where walkers, joggers, roller bladers, bike riders and others could all use the hard surface track. “We hope to have it in place by the end of the year,” he said, and hold a grand opening at next year’s Wellness Festival. The group asked the Village for approval in principal, advice or assistance on making grant applications, and direction on providing information to the public. Coun. Al Mertens said he could envision conflict between dog walkers and other users on the hard track. Dogs run off leash in the fenced area, said Downs, while people use the track. He added that the group hoped they could enter into a stewardship agreement with the Village, since the Village already maintains the park. “You talk about multiple users but people don’t go to dog parks without dogs,” said Jim Duncan, who was in the audience for another discussion. “I have been to mixed use dog parks,” replied Kitty Murray. “Are we so afraid of the conflict between man and dogs that we just want to avoid it?” said Downs.

March 26 at 2:40 am police were called to a single vehicle accident on Hwy 97C at the north end of the Ashcroft bridge where the driver of a southbound Ford Ranger lost control coming down the hill and struck an abutment, destroying the front end of the truck. The 19 year old Ashcroft man was wearing his seatbelt at the time and suffered no serious injuries.

Deer killed

Arguing room mates

March 26 at 4 pm police were called to a Cache Creek residence after an argument between room mates, a 56 year old woman and a 35 year old male, got physical as one of the parties was speaking and gesturing and accidentally made contact with the other’s nose. A witness confirmed that it was unintentional. No charges laid.

Abandoned truck damaged

March 27 at 6:15 pm police received a call regarding a vehicle parked behind the Tingley St. apartments that had been damaged. Police attended and noted that all of the windows had been smashed in the vehicle.

March 27 at 9:30 pm police received an abandoned 911 call from a public pay phone in Cache Creek near the Grubstake. Police located the caller by the phone who reported an assault at the Nugget motel. The 31 year old man, himself a resident of the Nugget, said the assault arose from an argument between the motel’s manager and another tenant, a 60 year old woman. The woman was taken to the hospital for examination but showed no signs of injury. An investigation was unable to establish who instigated the argument. Both tenants had been served with eviction notices the day before. March 28 at 2 pm police were called to an open area to the north of the Sandman Inn where a transient male was sleeping and refused to leave. The 53 year old Vernon man was located and appeared somewhat confsed, but indicated he was travelling from Vernon to Vancouver. He had no money and no food. He was taken to the hospital for a checkup and released. The following afternoon at 1:30 pm police were called by hospital staff because the same man was sleeping on the grass in front of the hospital. He had been assessed the night before and found all right, fed and released. There was no medical reason to admit him. He was offered, and accepted, a ride back to the highway to continue his trip to the coast.

Early morning assault

March 30 at 5:55 am a 32 year old Ashcroft man used the Detachment’s public phone to report that he had been assaulted in his residence by one of his drinking guests. He was taken to the hospital and treated for minor head wounds and released. He did not wish to pursue charges.

Grass fire in town

March 30 at 4:15 pm police assisted the Ashcroft Fire Dept. with traffic control while they tended to a grass fire that had been caused by a downed power line near the Mesa Vista trailer park. Winds were blowing strongly in the area at the time. Police assisted until BC Hydro arrived.

Preparing your entries for the Fair It’s never too early to start thinking about entries for the Fall Fair. The Ashcroft & District Fall Fair is only five and a half months away. Keep that in mind when you are planning your bee-utiful vegetable and flower plantings. If you’re handy with a camera, there are great photo opportunities at any time of the year that fit in nicely with the Photography categories. Consider a rain-drenched flower or leaf for the Plant or Agriculture categories. Or perhaps a snowy Sunrise or Landscape picture. Oh, wait. We’re not expecting anymore snow between now and September! This year’s theme is the bee, as in Bee Inspired! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to place bees in any of your Fair entries, but it’s easy to include them in photographs at this time of the year, as those busy little honeybees are out in force now in the fruit tree blossoms and anywhere else there are flowers. Regardless of the category, whenever you’re taking pictures, look for good lighting and good contrast and try to find a unique angle to take it from - something to make it stand out from other pictures. If you’re entering it in the general Colour or Black and White categories, look for scenes that are either very colourful, or very low colour but high contrast. Use public gatherings and community events to get a good People picture. And then don’t forget to enter your photos and come to the Fall Fair – Sept. 13 from 10am5pm at the Ashcroft arena.

Students gain job skills at Constantia workshop Constantia Resources sponsored a Job Skills Workshop on March 20 in co-operation the High Bar First Nation and Village of Clinton. The workshop was part of the recently signed Co-operation and Benefits Agreement between Constantia and High Bar First Nation. The work-

shop was held at the Clinton Community Hall with 11 students from the High Bar First Nation, Whispering Pines/ Clinton Band, Canoe Creek and Clinton area. They were taught how to effectively communicate to a potential employer by having a well prepared resume and excellent interviewing skills. They learned how to: a) Recognize the key elements of good versus bad resumes; b) Write clear, brief and com-

plete descriptions of their work experience; c) Recognize what employers look for during an interview; and d) Answer interview questions more effectively. Mayor Jim Rivett attended to speak about the importance of the workshop for gaining employment, while the Mill Girl Follies provided an excellent lunch that was enjoyed by all. The hall was provided by the Village of Clinton.

Anonymity in the computer age Anyone who grew up in the 50s and 60s will remember watching “spy” movies and TV shows where the good guys (spies) always outwitted the bad guys using ultra high tech sleuthing equipment like tiny cameras embedded in pens and pendants and tape recorders (yes - reel to reels) disguised as cigar boxes. And recording “bugs” planted in the light fixtures. Of course, those were the days of the Cold War with Russia and we knew who were the good and bad guys. Fast forward several decades and those gains in stealth technology have been put into use here at home. It used to be that putting someone under surveillance was a big thing that required a really good reason and a court order. Not anymore. With computers, it’s just so easy to intercept data - most of us obligingly put it “out there” without even thinking for the whole world to see. Emails, pictures, financial transactions, phone logs - it’s all there. Public surveillance cameras in stores and public buildings are so common that we barely bat an eye at them anymore. Health records, office files, financial records are routinely outsourced. We constantly struggle with privacy issues versus the right to know. The District of Saanich went from the shadows to the spotlight this week when the Information and Privacy Commissioner slapped them on the wrist for secretly monitoring their employees, mostly through computer use. The commissioner said it violated the privacy rights of employees and elected officials and told them to destroy any data collected. How much of the data collected on us is even used? There is so much of it that will never see the light of day. On the other hand, some of it can destroy a person’s life if it results in their name being placed erroneously on a list banned from travel, or wiping out a bank account, having contact with suspicious individuals or groups, etc. Because with digital surveillance, punitive action is usually swift and anonymous. There’s no “facing your accuser” that we associate with living in a democracy. It’s hard to be unknown these days.

along Hwy 97, it is worth noting that our agreement with Telus has resulted in new service being added to 258 kilometres along Hwy 97 over the past five years. Connecting people in rural and remote areas to high-speed Internet service helps level the playing field with people in urban areas. What does high-speed Internet access mean to people in rural and remote areas? Not only does it connect families, but it also improves access to educational opportunities and healthcare services, creates jobs, and expands markets for businesses – connecting local firms to domestic, national and global customers. Our government believes all residents of Fraser-Nicola should be able to share the rich potential for economic, educational and social benefits high-speed Internet access can bring. And rest assured we are going to make it happen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hard to watch doctors leaving town Dear Editor Thanks Barbara, for explaining the doctor situation in Lillooet and Lytton. But what it has done is confirm my contention that the communities around us are either getting doctors, or already have them. And we are not. If three are expected in Lytton, as you have written, by the end of April, and Lillooet already has five, it is obvious we have not been successful. These communities are doing something that we are not. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s find out what it is. I heard a rumour that a handsome annuity is involved to the tune of $100 K. If so, is it federal money? Half a dozen persons have ex-

His gift for combining wacky humour and poignant human commentary has earned him a devoted following from four generations around the world.

pressed agreement with the opinions in my letter to the editor about the doctor shortage here. The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;savyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is slang, but the meaning is unmistakable. It is understanding, shrewdness, according to my dictionary. I read Alice Durksenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column about efforts that are being made to recruit â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid that is not terribly reassuring. What is surfacing is anxious concern. Our large senior population demands on-going medical attention. When doctors leave and they are not replaced forthwith, there is a domino effect, involving pharmaceutical needs and the availability of crucial medications for chronic conditions. There is a lot at stake here. Human lives. If the tone of my letter offended any one, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help that. As a 40 year resident

THOMPSON-NICOLA REGIONAL DISTRICT NEW Bylaw Notice & Dispute Adjudication What is the TNRD Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System about?

Mail #300-465 Victoria St Kamloops, BC V2C 2A9

The new Notice Enforcement Bylaw sets out the penalties and the period for paying or disputing Bylaw Notices received for violating the provisions of the campground, building regulations, unsightly premises, dangerous dogs, zoning, solid waste, noise control and water system regulations bylaws. The bylaw also allows for a dispute adjudication system to resolve disputes in relation to issued Bylaw Notices.

When does it come in to effect? Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2500 comes into effect April 1, 2015.

Why is the new program being introduced?

Phone (250) 377-8673 1-877-377-8673

Email bylawenforce@tnrd.ca

The system is intended to resolve bylaw violations and notice disputes in a simple, cost-effective manner. The new Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System will improve efficiencies in the area of paying and collecting fines as well as delivering a streamlined process to the public.

How will it affect me? If you receive a Bylaw Notice for violating one of the TNRD bylaws listed above, you will have 30 days to either pay the fine or dispute the Notice through the Dispute Adjudication System without having to go through the Provincial court system (which can take up to 6 months). An independent adjudicator will hear the dispute instead, possibly resolving the dispute in one month.

What are the benefits? The new system will provide the following benefits: Â&#x192; Â&#x192;

Website www.tnrd.ca

Â&#x192;

Â&#x192; Â&#x192;

Simplifies and expedites the dispute processes by removing minor bylaw violations from the Provincial court system; Reduces costs associated with using the court system (lawyers and the time spent by enforcement officers waiting to testify); Includes dedicated staff members (the Screening Officers) to act as a resource to help residents dealing with bylaw tickets and the dispute process. Allows residents to dispute tickets in-person, in writing or over the phone; Provides additional flexibility to encourage bylaw compliance as opposed to a strict enforcement focused system.

How do I get more information? For more information, please contact bylawenforce@tnrd.ca or visit the TNRD website at www.tnrd.ca.

Many people experiencing strange or unusual health issues hesitate going to see a doctor, often because they’re afraid the symptoms might lead to a diagnosis of cancer. Most of the time the symptoms aren’t cancer at all; but if they are, early presentation and diagnosis is vital, and can dramatically improve outcomes.

If there is a history of a certain type of cancer in your family, ask your doctor what screening tests can be done.

Wohlleben, Herbert WOHLLEBEN, Herbert - passed away peacefully at the age of 90 years from Jackson House Residential Care in Ashcroft. “Big Herb” was born in Apolda Germany and came to Canada at a very young age, celebrating his 4th birthday at Hat Creek Ranch. He was raised in Ashcroft and remained in this area for his entire life. From the age of 14 he worked alongside his father at Hat Creek Ranch before taking a job with Pacific Great Eastern Rail (now known as BC Rail). He then returned to Hat Creek Ranch before moving into the lumber business and from there moved to Bethlehem Copper where he was employed as a millwright for many years. He is survived by his sister Carla (Bill) Karikstad, and his children Phyllis Rainey, Leeann (Barry) Zasitko, Jim (Tanis) Cripps, and lan Cripps, grandchildren Adam, Brian, Rob, Kyle, Crystal as well as his great grandchildren Emma, Kiarra and Natalie and other extended family members. Herb was predeceased by Madeline, his wife of 20 years, in 1972, and Lee, his wife of 18 years in 1995. Herb was predeceased by his sister Irma (Wes) Smith. Herb was a very talented craftsman who enjoyed working with his hands. He was a skilled woodworker who could make just about anything you could imagine or want. He was equally capable at needle point or cross stitch, and loved to tend his vegetable garden. He played crib at the Royal Canadian Legion for many years, and participated in many out of town tournaments. In later years he loved to watch curling, and Toronto Blue Jays games on the television. He was gentle and kind man who had a wonderful sense of humour and loved spending time with his family. Donations in Memory of Herb may be made to the Family Friends Society of the Ashcroft Hospital PO Box 773 Ashcroft, BC VOK 1A0. Herb was a very independent man and was able to remain living in his own home until the end of January of this year before moving into residential care at the Ashcroft Hospital. The family would like to give a heartfelt thanks to all the people who have helped support Herb including all of the doctors and nurses, care staff and home care support workers who have played such a strong role in helping him. Help from the all the staff at Jackson House and the hospital was greatly appreciated by Herb, and his family. There will be no formal services held. An Online condolence book can be found at www.tvfh.ca

Rick Scott brings his unique style to Ashcroft Not many performers are as comfortable performing in front of children as they are in front of “the big kids”, but award-winning singer, songwriter, actor, and storyteller Rick Scott is equally at home whether the average age of his audience is six or 60. On Sunday, April 12 Scott brings his unique talent to Ashcroft, where he’ll be performing a “big kids” concert at St. Alban’s Hall. Scott, who has been performing for more than 40 years, first rose to prominence as a singer and dulcimer player in the legendary folk groups Pied Pumkin and Pied Pear. He turned to acting in the 1980s, appearing in stage productions such as Barnum (for which he learned to tightrope walk), Reflections on Crooked Walking, and Angry Housewives. His Rick Scott Band toured Canada and won awards for Best Independent Club Act and Independent Album of the Year at the Tribute to West Coast Music. In 1990 Scott turned his attention to younger audiences, and has since released seven albums for children, including the award-winning The Great Gazzoon, described as “a folk tale told by a folkie”. All his concerts combine music and laughter in a lively style that invites and welcomes audience participation. His acting and storytelling abilities allow him to combine wacky humour and poignant human commentary in a way that has earned him a devoted following from four generations of audience members in nine countries. The Victoria Folk Club called Scott’s show “incredible,” adding that he has “a wonderful stage presence and a magical way of connecting with the audience.” CHLY Radio in Nanaimo said that “Rick Scott will have you smiling like a child with his engaging big folks repertoire. What lucky adults to be growing younger to the heartfelt stories and songs of this ageless elder/ man/boy,” while CBC Radio’s Jurgen

Rick Scott and his dulcimer on the cover of his CD, The Great Gazoon. Scott performs for both young and not quite so young. He’ll be in Ashcroft on Apr. 12 performing for the second group.

Gothe said “Rick’s music . . . is delightful, educational, accessible, and innovative. It’s funny, clever, and warm. It’s not only important to Canadian music it’s essential.” The Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society is proud to being Rick Scott and his engaging big folks repertoire to Ashcroft, with a concert on April 12 at 3pm at St. Alban’s Hall

on Brink Street. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Ashcroft Bakery, UniTea, Nature’s Gifts, and the Cariboo Jade Shop (prices higher at the door; refreshments available by donation). Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to see a great Canadian performer as he brings his magic to town! Barbara Roden
