Pedestrian hit and killed on highway A 45 year old Fraser Lake man was the victim of a fatal accident on Hwy 1 in Cache Creek on Saturday morning. At 5:15 am on Apr. 11, RCMP were called to the scene on the east side of town near the entrance to the golf course and just beyond where the speed limit changes to 100 kph. The man appeared to have been hitchhiking and was in the eastbound driving lane when he was struck and killed by an eastbound Ford F350 driven by a 51 year old Lone Butte man. It is speculated that he died on impact. The matter is still under investigation and the victim’s name has not been released. An accident reconstructionist was brought in to look at the scene and RCMP are waiting for his report, and also that of the Coroner’s office.

Council agrees to look into dog park Ashcroft Council voted to put together a Select Committee of Council to investigate the proposal for a new family use area and dog park and determine the overall costs. Council made the decision at its Apr. 13 meeting after checking with other communities to see how their dog parks or mixed use facilities were doing. Forming the public committee “doesn’t commit council to anything,” said Ashcroft Mayor Jack Jeyes. It only means that the Village is going to look into it, he said. “Council appreciates the presentation (made to Council to March 23) but was concerned about where it was proposed,” he said. “We’ve already lost a baseball field to soccer and only have one left. Jeyes said there are other issues that need to be studied. He added that all of the municipalities contacted advised against putting a hard surfaced track in a dog park. Administrator Michelle Allen told councillors that a Select Committee of Council would first establish terms of reference regarding how they would operate and what they would investigate, and then they can look at different options and what the costs would be.

Masters of the High Seas First place team cadets Casey Kent and Ian Curran (standing) were in high spirits despite gusting winds and cold temperatures during practice races for the National Qualifying Regatta in Victoria earlier this month. Read more on page 3.

Ashcroft votes against Evans Rd. walking trail Ashcroft Council voted down the notion of a paved walking track along Evans Road at the Apr. 13 meeting, at the same time acknowledging that the road is barely wide enough for the trucks currently using it. “There are a numb number of things that need to happen in order to have a proper walkway,” said Mayor Jack Jeyes, who is also a retired Ministry of Transportation manager. There is no consistent shoulder width, he pointed out. “People think there’s enough room but it’s actually quite narrow.” Fencing would need to line the river side of the walkway and between that and the cement barricades, there would barely be enough room to walk: in some places there would be no room

to walk. “The costing for something like this is beyond us to build it the way the Village would be required to build it,” he said. “We expect a road that there will be trucks on,” said Coun. Alf Trill. “We want it to be an industrial road but I look at it and I see a road leading to a farm. We want a road worthy of industry. “I think we’re doing it an injustice if we just pave what’s there,” said Trill. “My concern is, is the road wide enough for traffic?” If it’s wide enough for traffic, he said, the pedestrians would take care of themselves. Parts of the land next to the road just drop off suddenly several metres leav-

ing nothing for a walkway, said Coun. Barbara Roden. So, to build a pathway would require engineered drawings and fees. “It is somewhat inadequate as an industrial road,” said Coun. Al Mertens, “yet we’re going to have it resurfaced (this summer), leaving us with the same substandard road. Where does that leave the village?” “It was built to the standards of the day,” said Mayor Jeyes. They are still the standards. Will the asphalt last for 40 years? Probably not.” He said the resurfacing does not count as making improvements to the road, and it can still be altered at a later date if the money becomes available Coun. Roden said the resurfacing will help traffic avoid the potholes.

Canada Day celebrations last year in Ashcroft, organized by Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society

Ashcroft to discuss Canada Day funding options Ashcroft Council defeated a motion to give Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society a $500 grant in aid... so that they could vote instead to meet with the group and discuss their plans and financial needs for a better funding strategy. According to staff, WRAPS received a $500 grant in aid last year for the Canada Day celebrations. In addition, donations of staff time and free pool time add up to about $700. WRAPS asked for the funding at a prior meeting, adding that they didn’t look at the funding as a grant in aid, but

as assistance for putting on an event for the town. The group is also hoping to access a $500 grant in aid fro the Village for its upcoming theatrical production, but Village policy states that nonprofit groups can only apply for one grant in aid per year. Administrator Michelle Allen told Council that the actual cost of the event while the Village was hosting it would cost between $2-3,000. However, the Lions and Rotary clubs helped out with donations and subsidized food, and the Village absorbed cost of pool and staff wages. Allen added that the Village

never paid for performers while it was overseeig the event. “They feel like they’ve taken on the Canada Day celebration on behalf of the Village,” said Coun. Al Mertens. Mayor Jack Jeyes said the policy states that if the Village grants money to a group, it is a grant in aid, and the policy says the same group can’t get more than one grant in a year. Councillors voted against a motion to give WRAPS a $500 grant in aid and accepted another that asked them to come and discuss what they needed and how the Village could help.

The Winding Rivers Arts and Performance Society wants you to be part of our show! WRAPS is auditioning for actors and singers for its production of My Fair Lady in November 2015. WRAPS is looking for approximately 20 people for a variety of roles (singing and acting; acting only; chorus). Auditions for all parts, singing and non-singing, will be held in the Ashcroft Secondary School music room on Wednesday April 29 (7:00-9:00pm), and on Saturday/Sunday May 2-3 (2:00-4:00pm). Scripts, scores, and an accompanist will be provided. WRAPS also needs volunteers to work on costuming and props. Anyone interested should come to one of the auditions, or contact Jessica Clement at 457-7128. Hope to see you there!

Two injured in single vehicle crash An elderly Kamloops couple are lucky to be alive after their Ford Crown Victoria went off the road on Hwy 1 by the Perry Ranch on Friday afternoon. RCMP were called to the single vehicle accident around 12:30 pm on Apr. 10 after the car went off road to the right, rolled down an embankment and sheared off a power pole. It is suspected that the 83 year old driver either fell asleep or lost consciousness while driving. He and his 81 year old wife were transported to the hospital for treatment. He was treated for bruises and released; his wife is still in the hospital recovering from broken bones. BC Hydro was called to come and replace their pole.

New incentive for rural med students The Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC are strengthening their efforts to attract more doctors to rural and remote communities with a new shared $100,000 financial award for medical students who demonstrate an interest in practising medicine in those communities and to support rural students entering medical school. The first set of British Columbia Rural Interest Awards have been granted to 20 University of British Columbia medical students who come from a variety of rural communities or have demonstrated an interest in entering rural medicine once training is complete. Annually, up to 20 medical students will be given individual awards of $5,000 to support their pursuit of practising rural medicine. “We know that students who train in rural communities are more likely to consider practicing rural medicine,” said Dr. Bill Cavers, president of Doctors of BC.

Cadets Casey Kent (left) of 136 Amphion RCSCC in Nanaimo and Ian Curran of 347 Avenger RCSCC in Ashcroft are presented the First Place Goulding Cup by Mr. John Jenkins of the Conway Society for taking the top spot in the National Qualifying Regatta.

Local sea cadet headed for national competition Cadet Ian Curran will be one of eight competitors representing BC in Kingston this summer. Cadet Curran of 347 Avenger Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) in Ashcroft will be heading to Kingston, ON this summer to compete in the National Sea Cadet Regatta after placing first in the 40th Annual National Qualifying Regatta (NQR) held in Victoria April 3-5. Twenty cadets from various locations throughout BC competed in teams of two

during the three-day selection camp and regatta. These cadets all qualified for the NQR by sailing at the Provincial Qualifying Regatta, held last October in Esquimalt. The goal of the National Qualifying Regatta is to select the eight strongest cadet sailors to form the Pacific National Team. Curran will be sailing with skip Casey Kent from 136 Amphion RCSCC in Nanaimo. “I feel we have a strong team for the national regatta this year,” said Lt (N) Tracy

Terry, Water Operations Officer for the Cadet Program in B.C. “These top sailors have a drive to win, know the racing rules of sailing, are committed to practicing and can work together in a team environment to sail the boat fast in a variety of wind conditions.” The NQR was held in partnership with the Royal Victoria Yacht Club (RVicYC), which offers tremendous benefits for both the staff and cadets. They are given the opportunity to learn from expert coaches

on the water and afterwards with daily debriefs. “The Cadet Sailing Program runs in line with the Royal Victoria Yacht Club goals to bring together competitors from all parts of Western Canada to train together to develop racing, race management and coaching skills, sportsmanship and friendship,” said RVicYC head coach Steve McBride. “Every cadet who competed this weekend has an increased connection to sailing as a sport for life.”

Ashcroft plant swap held this Sunday

Fred Gerwein (right) and John Farmer come away from last year’s Ashcroft CiB plant swap with potloads of goodies for the yard. The Ashcroft Communities in Bloom annual Plant Swap always attracts a great selection of outdoor plants - and gardeners.

Spring arrived early this year and as a result, many yards around town are showing lots of colour already. Ashcroft’s annual Communities in Bloom Plant Swap is coming up soon so now is your chance to split any perennials or shrubs you have too many of and bring them to the swap. This year’s Plant Swap will be held on Sunday, April 26 in Heritage Park. Because this is a plant swap, the success will depend on the quantity of plants that local residents bring in. Remember that you don’t have to bring something to take something; it is open to everyone and a great opportunity to get more plants for your yard. With that in mind, the Ashcroft Communities in Bloom committee asks that local residents take a little time to look around in their yards and split as many items as possible. Please try to pot them or place them in boxes – labels are great but not required. Please bring any plants etc. to swap at 9:30am. The sale will begin at 10. No Early Birds! Communities in Bloom thankfully accepts donations at the plant swap. All donations are used to assist with local projects. Andrea Walker

VIEWPOINTS

WENDY COOMBER

Communities are made by people Volunteering isn’t for everyone, a fact well known by those who do volunteer and wish there were more volunteers around to help. Volunteers are special. It’s National Volunteer Week, so let’s sppreciate what volunteers do for us. There’s no doubt that volunteers provide us with some of the best experiences and services that we’ll ever get, and in a small town such as ours, that is a vital role. I often hear people complain that there’s no “this, that or the other” in our towns and “there’s nothing to do!” Well, imagine how much less there would be without volunteers. No celebrations like Canada Day or the Easter Egg Hunts, no events like Desert Daze, Heritage Week, River Festival, Graffiti Days, Wellness Festival, musical concerts, art shows, parades... No services like our seniors’ housing, fire departments, minor sports, community radio, no gardening clubs, no sporting associations, no cadets or cubs or any of the other hundreds of activities that engage the public. Without these things, there would be “nothing to do” and it wouldn’t be long before we started to notice a faster decline in our populations. Volunteers such as we have are priceless. If our towns had to pay for the work they do for free.... well, they just couldn’t. It would be more than they had in their budget. As a volunteer myself, I appreciate the support that my group receives from our municipality. In a “job” that doesn’t get much thanks, it is gratifying to know that our town council understands and appreciates the value of their volunteers. Sometimes even a volunteer will grumble that are are too few volunteers and too much work to do, but volunteers tend to increase their own workload in order to provide more to their communities. Why? Because they’re special. Because they enjoy seeing their plans come together and seeing people enjoying or benefitting from their work. Then they pat themselves on the back - or they pat each other on the back - and do it all over again. It’s not a life for the weak!

A FRUIT ORCHARD STANDS IN TIDY ROWS at Horstings Farm Dear Editor “The Press, Watson, is a most valuable institution if you only know how to use it.” So said Sherlock Holmes (via his creator Arthur Conan Doyle) in the 1893 short story The Final Problem; and both Holmes and Conan Doyle were quite right. The Press - or newspapers, in this case can be very valuable indeed, especially when seeking information. Last week I asked, via this paper’s Letters column, for help in solving what was, to me, a mystery; and myriad Journal readers were willing and able to supply an answer. My question was about a now vacant patch of land to the west of Hwy 97C as one comes off the Ashcroft bridge; a vacant patch of land that somehow sports a neat row of lilac bushes. I had wondered for some time why the lilacs were there, and recently came into possession of a postcard from c. 1965

The evening will include a portion of the night dedicated to discussion and reflection on the Video presented at each evenings Video Circle. This is a free event. This month’s inspirational video feature is ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ showing on Thursday, April 30 from 7-9pm. This entertaining and inspirational movie based on the best-selling book of the same name is hosted by author and teacher Louise L. Hay. This film gives penetrating insights into Louise’s fascinating personal story; and shows how her views on self-esteem, abundance, and the metaphysical causes behind physical ailments were developed. It also reveals how she applied these concepts to her own emotional, spiritual, and professional life. A number of luminaries in the fields of self-help, philosophy, health, spirituality, and New Thought join Louise, giving their take on success, happiness, and the myriad ways in which people can heal their own lives. And there are also gripping first hand accounts from others who have been positively affected by Louise’s work.

A special evening event will feature a longer concert performance. ‘Crossbow’ are Neil Burnett (Celtic harp, penny whistle, etc.) and Christina Zaenker (cello and voice) who make music from a wild new recipe for 38 strings, ringing timber, and assorted sonic spices. These well-seasoned musicians serve up original compositions using traditional Celtic forms and hints of jazz, creating music that is uplifting, at times melancholic, and always enchanting. Doors open at 6:30pm with the Concert starting at 7:30pm. Tickets in advance only for either event, they can be purchased at UniTea Room or by phone (250) 453 9345.

Join WRAPS and the Rotary Club of Ashcroft/Cache Creek for a co-presented evening of wine tasting, appetizers, dessert and an interactive murder mystery play! The Wine Tasting and Cafe Murder Mys-

tery Theatre will take place May 2 from 7–9pm at the Ashcroft Community Hall. Along with the alcoholic beverage tasting (wine, sparkling wine, ales, ciders), there will be coffee by Beans Roasted Right, appetizers, desserts and an interactive, comedic murder mystery performed by WRAPS! Tickets are available at Interior Savings Ashcroft and all Rotarians. Cafe Murder is a hilarious murder mystery comedy. Rosemary Saint-John is a loud, annoying hypochondriac convinced she is allergic to water. Celebrating her birthday at a restaurant with her four kooky sisters – a hippie, a valley girl, a trucker and a banker–Rosemary makes enemies with everyone around her. When she disappears and is presumed murdered, the only objective witnesses in the restaurant are the audience members, who must cast their vote. Was it one of Rosemary’s sisters? The self-taught detective? The passionate French chef? The polite and proper mâitre d’? The sarcastic waiter? No one is above suspicion in this delightful dinner theatre murder mystery!

Less people attending, Bean Supper carries on The Zion United Church Women held their April meeting at 2 pm on April 1 with seven members attending. We repeated the U.C.W. Purpose together, President Reta Robertson welcomed everyone and thanked us for giving of our time for the work of the UCW. Reta lead the devotional in Jacklyn Desrosiers’ absence. She read from the book Quiet Moments For Women by June Bacher. In all things have faith and hope. The scripture was 1st Corinthians 13:7 and also verse 9:10. Love endures all things. She closed with prayer. The agenda was circulated and approved. The March meeting minutes were approved as circulated. Old Business was next and we evaluated the Friendship Tea and the Bean Supper. The numbers were down but we wish to thank all those who brought food and attended. Without all of you we could not continue to carry on with the Bean Supper. So thank you again! Correspondence was dealt with and we had may newsletters and Thank Yous. They came from Action International missionary Carmen, the Centre for Christian Studies, Canadian Bible Society, Naramata Centre and Riding The Waves magazine.

UNITED IN SPIRIT United Church Women Phyllis Gray Reports were next and treasurer Colleen Mireau handed out her report. It was accepted Verbal reports were given by Dorothy Pears for Sunshine, Phyllis Gray for Publicity, Hilda Drinkwater for Archives and Reta Robertson for Outreach. Thank you for all who save and turn in the Campbell labels. Please make sure the bar code and the name Campbell is intact. If you slit the label down the back, hopefully it will come off the can in once piece. Thank you to all who save these for us as they help with Christian work elsewhere.

More planning for this will take place at our May meeting. Our next meeting will be May 5 at 2 pm and Devotional and Refreshment ladies were made known.

Grow the best Fall Fair entry Show off your beautiful vegetables, flowers and herbs at this year’s Ashcroft & District Fall Fair on Sept. 13. It may seem like a long ways away, but right now is when gardeners are deciding what they’re going to plant. The Fair has entry categories for all vegetables, fruit, herb displays and cut flowers. A nice ribbon for your efforts

gives you bragging rights, but some of the categories come with cash prizes or gift certificates. Check the Fair’s entry booklet for those details when it comes out later this Spring. So plan before you plant and bee ready. The Ashcroft & District Fall Fair is held Sept. 13 from 10 am to 4 pm at Ashcroft’s Drylands Arena.

8 Household items that you can recycle

We all know we should recycle, and routinely place our newspapers, plastic bottles and aluminum cans at the curb for collection. There are many other lesser known things that can be recycled. While these things may not be able to be placed curbside, they can be dropped off at recycling centers. Before an item is relegated to the trash can, you can do a little research and see if it can be recycled. Some companies or organizations pick up certain recyclables, saving individuals time and gas. 1. Appliances. Some cities have appliance recycling or rebate programs. An older, less efficient appliance can be turned

in for a rebate on a new energy-efficient model. If a computer is in good working order, it may be sold or passed on to another person who can put it to use. Some seniors are not interested in RAM or processor speed. They just want a means of connecting to the Internet and can benefit from a recycled machine. Otherwise, computers may be donated to schools. For those who simply must recycle the machine, there are different drop~off zones for computers and peripherals, like printers. Some goodwill organizations will take them and turn them into profits. 2. Batteries. These pintsize sources of power con-

tain heavy metals that can leak out into the ground and water supplies. They should be brought to recycling centers to be disposed of properly. Otherwise, consider buying recyclable batteries and a charger. 3. Mattresses. Thanks to bed bug epidemics, fewer people are willing to purchase or take on a used mattress. For those who are upgrading to a new mattress and have an old one to discard, check with your local municipality to find out which transfer station will recycle the mattress. Some mattress stores will cart away an old mattress if a new one is purchased. 4. Scrap Metal. Those

with scrap metal clogging up garages or basements can actually make some cash off these items. Scrap metal is in demand, and there are dealers who handle the sale and trade of these materials. Check the classified section of this paper to find local dealers in this area. 5. Cds and DVDs. The number of these plastic discs in circulation is high. Find out where they can be recycled or turn them into handy items for other uses. For example, use a CD as a reflector on a mailbox or at the end of the driveway. Pintrest has some great suggestions for reusing Cds and DVDs. 6. CFL Bulbs. The compact Fluorescent bulbs

save energy but they should be recycled properly, thanks to the minuscule amount of mercury they contain. Some stores will collect them so check with your local retailer. 7. Toner and Ink Cartridges. Don’t discard those spent cartridges. Bring them back to office supply stores for recycling credit. 8. Oil. If individuals are changing their own motor oil, it will need to be taken to the transfer station or recycling centerfor proper recycling, Many commercial oil change businesses will recycle their oil, which makes paying for an oil change convenient and environmentally responsible.

Desert Daze adding musicians, Farmers Market getting ready Just when you thought spring was here the temperature plummets and the Coquihalla gets a dump of snow! We were fortunate enough to have nice weather for our spring cleanup. There was a pretty good turnout including a gaggle of kids and everyone chipped in and did their share of picking up litter from all our roads and highways. What a great thing to do! I do think that folks are not littering as much as they used to. It seems that over the years of doing this I have seen a decrease in in how many bags of garbage we collect. Thanks everyone for coming out and helping. Easter Sunday was also a lovely day. What an amazing turn out! (Photos on page 10.) The Easter Bunny left lots of chocolates for all the kiddies, lots of kids took part in the many games, kite making, and t-shirt decorating. And somehow all the food got eaten! Thanks so much to Cook’s Ferry, The Log Cabin Pub, Bait’s Motel, and the SB Fire Dept. for the generous donations that enable the Spences Bridge Community Club (SBCC) to host this event! The SB Farmer’s / Flea market committee ran a successful raffle and bake sale to assist with the start up costs for the market. Thank-you to everyone for donating the raffle prizes, baking the goodies, and to all those who purchased….thanks for your support! Our monthly bingos continue, with our next one on April 20. Mark your calendars for the third Monday of every month, and come to Cleme’s Hall on Hwy 8 for a fun night of bingo! Doors open at 5:30 – concession snacks available. Hope to see you there!

Think lost, not stray

For over two weeks my life has been consumed with trying to find our beloved dog, Charlie. Between putting up flyers, chasing tips, social networking, actively looking, and managing emotions on the home front, it’s remained all-consuming. Educating myself on how to think like a dog has taken some time as well, but it’s been a necessary step to finding our boy. I’d had this vision of calling out his name and him bounding out in front of me, wagging his tail at finally being found. But I’ve learned the longer a dog is missing the less likely they are to respond to their own name or show themselves at all. At first I was asking people to grab Char-

lie if they saw him. I soon learned that was the wrong thing to say. After a dog’s been on their own for a time they enter a frightened, semi-feral state and even their family can appear threatening. Chasing after a lost pet will often exacerbate the problem since they’re likely to run and become even more lost and in danger. Now I ask people to take a picture if they can and notify me or dog control immediately. The picture helps to confirm it’s actually our dog and we’re searching in the right area. I also encourage people who want to help with his actual rescue to try attracting him by lying on the ground and speaking softly, of-

The notion that lost dogs are stupid because they can’t find their way home or abused because they won’t approach a human is incorrect. We have no idea what they’ve gone through. They might have been chased several times, they may have narrowly missed being hit by a car, or

they may be injured. Any harrowing experiences combined with having to suddenly find their own food, water and shelter in unfamiliar surroundings without their families will put them in a survival mode where their animal instincts kick in and they can become skittish of everything and everyone. Lost dogs usually settle in a residential neighborhood, ranch

or farm where their needs can be met and they’re able to hide out undetected for weeks or months on end. They typically stay in places that have a quick getaway route, like a woodsy area they can escape to. They often seek refuge in garages, workshops, playhouses and under balconies. They will hide if they hear people coming so it’s almost impossible to find them unless a sighting’s reported. At that point, it’s important not to scare them away and call the owner or Dog Control so they can coax them to safety. There are a lot of helpful tips on the Internet to finding lost pets and for anyone who ends up in the unenviable position that we’re in now, I highly recommend reading up on it right away. This heartbreaking experience has brought out both the “crazies” and the “compassionates.” I could give you several examples of the former, but I’ll just say one of the worst was the scammer who pretended to have Charlie and threatened to cut off his head and leave it on our doorstep if we didn’t put money in his account. Thank goodness the wonderful people have far outweighed the terrible, and for us that’s

really been the big positive since losing him on March 23. Friends and complete strangers have helped us by sharing our posts on social media, sending us encouragement, telling us their stories, giving us advice, putting up posters, and actively looking for him as well as other lost pets in our community. So far five people believe they’ve seen Charlie, but none of them said anything until hours after when they saw my ad. We are grateful for their help, but if we, as a society, automatically respond to an unfamiliar dog out and about on it’s own in the same way we would seeing a toddler on their own, more lost dogs would be found. In the past two weeks I’ve heard so many stories of people keeping cats and dogs they considered a stray without

first reporting them to the SPCA. While they might be well intentioned, this is theft and it’s completely crushing to the family missing their treasured pet. The idea is to think lost, not stray. If the animal has been reported to the SPCA and no one claims it, then it can be put up for adoption. But these steps must be taken or lives can be deeply affected in a devastating way, especially for those of us who see our pets as family. We still haven’t found our precious Charlie, but every day we wake up hoping this will be the day that we do. We’re offering a large reward to anyone with a tip that leads to his safe return and we hope we’ll be paying up soon. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.
