Town facing a large shortfall after flood Cleaning up after a disaster isn’t cheap, as the Village of Cache Creek will tell you. At the June 8 Council meeting, Acting Administrator Gayle Olson informed the councillors that their bank account is zero at the moment. The Village, however, has $1.3 million in mutual funds that it can access and she said she would be making a withdrawal this week to cover the bills that are pouring in. Mayor John Ranta said the repairs to Stage Road will cost approximately $1 million and Old Cariboo Road, about $350,000. The Village is also paying contractors to clean, sweep and repair as needed. He estimated that it would cost the Village $1.9 million altogether to repair its infrastructure. “Recoverable costs will fall short by 20 percent,” he said, noting that disaster assistance only covers up to 80 per cent, “or $400,000. We’ve told them that represents more than one year’s residential tax charges, so it will set us back a bit.” He said the Village couldn’t raise taxes to make up the shorfall, not after what the residents have been through, so they may have to dip into its Landfill Legacy Fund to pay for the remainder of the repairs, or it could recover the costs over a longer perior of time. “It remains to be seen,” he said. Coun. David Dubois asked if the standard bid process applied for contractors doing the clean up work. The mayor replied that the acting administrator, through consultation with Public Works foreman, hired a local Cache Creek contractor for the initial work. “We’ve made it known to contractors that we’re paying Blue Book rates,” said Olson. Blue Book rates for construction and clean up work are used by the provincial government. The Village is hiring a sweet sweeper to go over the streets again this week, and is consider how to clean the debris out of the creek, from near Brookside Campground to the river. “I’m delighted with the progress we’ve made to date” with the cleanup Mayor Ranta stated after the meeting. He said he felt badly for those who had been devastated by loss of their possessions and homes, but “the resilience of the community is demonstrated every single day” as neighbours help neighbours and help comes in from around the province.

Two of the items from our May meeting to report to you are that WHAC will be asking Interior Health to be designated as a primary care team based facility with upgrading of the nurses to allow the Ashcroft site to become a primary care facility. WHAC members also approved in principle the concept of a project manager to work with our catchment area to make health care an economic development priority. Nancy Kendall, the director of Better At Home, advised us that she is in need of volunteer drivers. Please call her at 453-9911 if you can assist. The next WHAC meeting will be held June 15 from 2-4 in the hospital board room. The committee will continue to meet regularly during the summer months. If you are not a member of WHAC, please join.

If you have not already seen it you can access it on our website www.whac-chb.ca. Please let us know if you have questions that were not covered there so that we may make that information available to you and others via the press and our website.

Flood damage repairs will be costly BlackPress4Good and the United Way have been collecting donations for the victims of the May 23 flash flood in Cache Creek. As of Tuesday morning, $108,130 had been collected. Seventy-seven homes were affected and four families still remain living in motel rooms. Although many residents have returned to their houses, ESS Director and Cache Creek Councillor Lisa Dafoe estimates that several will need new hot water tanks and furnaces, and most affected homes will need between $20-$40,000 in repairs. Half a million for residential relief, is her guess. At least one home owner has had his application for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) denied. And if approved, DFA only covers up to 80 per cent of specific rooms in the house. Cache Creek Councillor Wyatt McMurray suspects there will be more denials. “I think as a Council we should be extending our hand to help them plead their appeals rather than forgetting about them,” he said. “We need to get that out there.” The fundraising is already in place, he said, but “I think there’s a political piece to it. I think there are some who have probably been denied who would rather walk away from it than appeal. I’m not suggesting we give them money, but what little political clout we have to help them appeal...” Businesses and groups who have made substantial donations include: United Steelworkers Local 7619 and 1-417, Constantia HDI, United Way, IG Machine & Fibre, Husky, Graymount Western, King Enterprises Ltd., North Eastern Enterprises, Cache Creek Veterinary, Desert Hills Ranch, Ashcroft 7th Day Adventists, Pacific Bentonite, Ashcroft & District Lions, and Royal LePage. The McGinley Family Troupe from Barkerville’s Theatre Royal performed a benefit for Cache Creek at Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on June 5. The one night show and auction raised $6,122! Leslie Alexander and WRAPS raised over $2,000 on May 29, there is another benefit in Logan Lake on June 19 and the Village of Cache Creek is planning one in July. Go to www.cachecreekvillage.com if you wish to donate.
Shayna Van Tine (left) and father Kim Van Tine (right) with a group of young volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, who helped dig the mud out of their basement on the weekend.
Flood victim denied provincial assistance Kim Van Tine was a happy man on Saturday afternoon: he, his family and a volunteer work crew from the Church of Jesus Christmas of the Latter-Day Saints had just finished digging the mud that was two feet deep from their basement. Now that that’s done, he can get the electrical and gas work done. The big thing, he said, is getting the services back up and running so they can move back into their house. Although they have a yellow card in their window, indicating significant
damage to be repaired before the electricity and gas can be reconnected, the Van Tines have already been denied Disaster Financial Assistance. Van Tine applied for assistance on the Friday morning following the May 23 flood. The next day he received his letter of denial. He’s now working on his appeal, which can take up to 30 days to decide. “We’re just asking to cover the basics,” he said. “Services and stuff that makes a house liveable.” The cache creek runs be-
hind their house. It’s normally a pleasant little stream that burbles along Hwy 1 east of town. It runs through a culvert under Quartz Rd. and then another under Hwy 97 until it enters the Bonaparte River behind the Cache Creek Elementary School. On May 23, debris carried along by heavy rainwater blocked the large culverts and caused the water to divert around them. For a while, said Van Tine, the creek bed behind their house was dry as the water diverted through their neighbour’s garage and through their front yard. It entered the creek bed again by Quartz Rd., only to divert over that culvert, carrying water and mud through the firehall. Not only did it course through their front yard, it filled their basement with six feet of water and left behind two feet of mud. “Like everyone else, a flash flood was the last thing we expected,” said Van Tine. (L-R): Former NDP MLA Harry Lali came to help flood victims Tony and Aurora Kovacs (right) clean up their property with He said at Fred Buckland and Myron Buckland after the May 23 flood in Cache Creek.
first he didn’t think anything about the rain. Then he noticed a TV float by, and then a couch. He looked out the front window and saw traffic backed up on the highway, thinking to himself, “This can’t be good.” Right about then, the creek started diverting into his basement. “When mother nature decides to take a little swipe, it’s quite impressive,” he said, adding that it was a blessing no one was killed or seriously hurt. “I think people have a false expectation of what the province is going to provide for them,” he said. The destruction to people’s homes has been tremendous, he said, and people are in shock. They listen with hope when the Premier promises to “err on the side of compassion.” He says he would like to speak with MLA Jackie Tegart about his assistance claim. She hasn’t been available, he says, but her staff has been very helpful. “I think as our MLA she would have the ability to speak to the Premier about it in detail,” he said. “When you’re in a disaster situation, you want to do things quickly.” “I’ve lived and worked in BC for 58 years and never once asked for anything,” he said, “but this time we could use some help.”

Celebrate oceans, don’t pollute them We are quickly finding out just how much garbage we can throw into the ocean before those bottomless depths fill up. We toss away garbage like a shopaholic spends, and the ocean is our credit card. Dead zones and blobs continue to expand and proliferate, affecting the creatures who live in and on the oceans and possibly even having an affect on our weather. Oceans cover two-thirds of our planet. There are now 400 dead zones in oceans around the world; the north Pacific is home of the Pacific Trash Vortex which is a floating mass of garbage - plastics, styrofoam, old fishing gear, etc. - about the size of Texas; another massive garbage patch was been discovered in 2010 in the North Atlantic, a few hundred km off the North American coastline. Now there’s The Blob - a huge mass of warm water sitting on top of the usually cool Pacific along the coast from Oregon to Alaska. The water is two degrees warmer than normal, which may not sound like a lot, but it is enough to change the nature of food sources and provide a challenge for cold-water fish like salmon. Some scientists say it is likely responsible for the so far unexplained deaths of thousands of Cassin’s auklets, which washed up on Pacific shores last December. Also washing up on Pacific coastlines is the debris from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011, which clearly shows us that what goes into the ocean on one side of the world will migrate. More worrisome than the solid debris is the nuclear wastewater leaked by the Fukushima nuclear power station during that time. That happened one year after BP’s drilling rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, pouring oil, natural gas and toxic sludge into the ocean for 87 days. They had no disaster plan in place to address such a catastrophe, and there is still none required , even though there are more rigs in the Gulf of Mexico now than there were then. Eighty per cent of the marine garbage comes from land-based activities. We all need to cut back on our waste-causing consumption, and it begins with us, the consumer. Share the message.

Ashcroft Cenotaph given proper trim Dear editor Some people may have noticed that the cedars at the Cenotaph have had a hair cut and their legs are showing more. I would like to thank Scott Kelley for his help and use of his truck, and Steve Clark for the use of his trailer. I would also like to thank Ron Jones for his scaffolding and the use of his hedge trimmer at no cost which saved us about two hours work. Glen Joss Ashcroft Legion, Branch 113

The Ashcroft/Cache Creek Cast of “My Fair Lady”!
In late April and May WRAPS hosted a series of open auditions to select the cast for it’s upcoming community theatre project “My Fair Lady”. Many of the successful auditionees will be doing double duty by playing two of the 40 different roles! Now that is enthusiasm and commitment! Those of you who have seen previous WRAPS theater productions may recognize many of the names appearing on the roster. “Veteran” actors such as John Kidder, Nancy Duchaine, Jim Mclean, Jan Schmitz, Connie Walkem, Barb Roden, Andrea Bona and the wonderful Jean Burgess (whose performance as “Puck” in Midsummer Night Midterm stole the show!) all return to lend their talents to another challenging yet exciting theatre production. WRAPS is happy to also welcome a number of new faces to our local stage
- all with varying degrees of theatre and performing experience. And since this IS a musical after all, we are especially thrilled with the inclusion of many members of the Sage Sound Singers Choir! Dave Gory, Kevin and Linda Lennox, Dan Collet and Marina Papais, Sharon Ambler, Kathleen Gunn, Pamela Ainge, Kirk Watson and Theresa Takacs - all will be lending their wonderful singing voices to make this show especially magical. We also welcome from Kamloops Mr. Gerald Young as Freddy Eynsford-Hill. And making sure all the voices come together in perfect harmony is Michelle Reid as the play’s Musical Director. They are also are thrilled to have a number of young people join the cast! Many of them are already amongst the ranks of the “veterans” of local community theatre productions. We all remember the great performances of the young “McLean Gang” - Cecelia, Vivian and Lieth - as well as Oriana Dubois. New youngsters appearing on stage in various roles will be Matthias Sampson, Jacob Aie and Sequoya Wiebe. And of course, the Director of this WRAPS Theatre presentation will be the fantastically talented Mavourneen Varcoe-Ryan, whose skill, leadership and experience has been the guiding force behind the success of all of the past
community plays that the residents of the Ashcroft/Cache Creek area have enjoyed over the years.

Be who you are meant to be
Bruce Jenner, the man who became a national hero during the 1976 Olympics, when he won a gold medal and broke a world record in the men’s decathlon event had a different kind of victory this week: he finally revealed himself to the world as a woman. The cover and photo spread showing his new identity in Vanity Fair magazine titled “Call me Caitlyn” hit the Internet on June 1, along with a request to be referred to with female pronouns rather than male. The media quickly honored her wishes. A Twitter page for Caitlyn was set up the same day and broke Barack Obama’s record for the shortest time to reach one million followers, achieving the mark in four hours and three minutes. Not everyone reacted with kudos or acceptance though. Some were disgusted with the gender change and others by all the exposure this story is getting. For the former I’d like to explore the reac-
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com tions. For the latter, I chalk that up to Bruce Jenner being a member of the most famous reality TV family, the Kardashians, of which millions are tired of hearing about. Considering her new name is spelled with the letter C rather than a K like the other six women she’s related to, Caitlyn may share that sentiment on some level. I don’t watch the popular program, but I’ve been following this particular story since the media started speculating about Bruce Jenner’s gender reassignment. Photographs taken over the last couple of years suggested that the famous athlete was taking on more of a feminine appearance through cosmetics
and surgery. That was confirmed in a recent exclusive interview she had with Diane Sawyer. Knowing Bruce Jenner as an Olympic champion since my childhood, I found this transformation intriguing. Especially since I have a friend who’s secretly been a cross dresser for decades. To protect his identity I’ll call him John. Married with children, John and his wife are from religious, conservative families. For that reason and others he has gone to great lengths to hide his love for dressing like a woman, restricting himself to only indulging when he travels out of town. When he came to Kelowna a few years
ago from Vancouver, my girlfriend and I met up with him at a hotel and for the first time I met his female persona. She was lovely, and beyond happy in her beautiful dress, high heels, wig and make up. The transformation took hours, and during that time our friend was like a kid in a candy store, enjoying every moment of the process with our mutual pal, who helped. His impulse to dress like a female started when he was a young boy who felt trapped in a body of the wrong gender. As a child he hid his desire to be a girl, and as an adult he has continued to hide his cravings to be a woman. When he momentarily shared this side of himself with his wife early on in their relationship she expressed revulsion. Not wanting to lose her, his family, or his reputation in the business community, John has tried repeatedly to put an end to these strong feelings, but he hasn’t been able to. His secret persists and anxiety over its possible
discovery intensifies. Bruce Jenner felt these same pressures and stress, with millions watching and the paparazzi documenting as much as they could. Becoming Caitlyn at the age of 65 and finally realizing her lifelong dream of being a woman has her now feeling like her authentic self. “Bruce always had to tell a lie,” she explained in her Vanity Fair interview. “He was always living that lie. Every day, he always had a secret, from morning until night. Caitlyn doesn’t have any secrets.”
She also said she didn’t want to end her days full of regret. “If I was lying on my deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did anything about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,’” she said. Living with this decision isn’t easy though. According to a recent U.S. National Transgender Discrimination Survey 41 per cent of trans or gender-nonconforming people surveyed have attempted suicide – a staggeringly high statistic. I
hope Caitlyn’s experience will inspire John, and anyone yearning to live their truth, to not be afraid of what others think, to do what makes them happy, and to stay strong throughout. Sharing her story, as others before her have done, can only help to break down the barriers created by judgment and intolerance and build a foundation for the kind of respect and acceptance we all deserve as human beings.

Fresh local food makes a healthy difference
Everything is growing and it really satisfying to see fields and trees come back to life. Cattle are out on the range so do drive with extra care when the cattle are near the road. In the garden there are greens to be harvested along with the asparagus; however it is nearing the time to stop picking the asparagus to let the bushes grow strong for next year. I am always surprised by those who think asparagus is a difficult and tender crop. In my experience it is very hardy and readily self seeds with the help of birds and I find it growing in the driest most exposed places, often on the south side of a fir tree. In the winter it is the Solitare that I see fluttering around the asparagus tops to get to the berries. I read with concern a report widely publicized recently that Canada can expect to have cancer rates increase by 40 percent in the next 30 years. This is deeply troubling considering how much money has been put into cancer research. More needs to be done to identify
FROM LOON LAKE ROAD Barbara Hendricks the causes of cancer. Many cancers now can be treated if diagnosed early enough. That requires access to doctors and diagnostic facilities – so should we all sell out and move to Kelowna so we can be sure we can access treatment? The other troubling aspect of the study as it was reported by the journalists is that there appears to be a widely accepted view that cancer is a lifestyle disease, eat right, keep active, don’t smoke or consume alcohol, protect your skin from the sun and tanning beds, and you are less likely to get cancer, is the mantra. Well really. What about all the chemicals that are listed as cancer causing or suspected of causing cancer that can be the environment? Some problem areas are construction materials, especially in a new home, new furniture, in food wrappings and packaging. I miss the focus on ensuring the environment we live in is clean and free

of chemicals that are known to cause cancer or have not been proven to be safe.
It is easy to say “eat right” but it is much, much more difficult to put into practise when the regulation on labelling manufactured food is so weak in Canada. In a discussion on labelling GMO products, I heard a spokesperson for one large factory recently dismiss any new labelling – because if they did, people wouldn’t buy it! Well, duh, that is the purpose of labelling; to let people make informed choices in what they will eat. And there are more problems with labelling, like telling how much sugar of all forms really is in the product. You need to be a chemist to truly understand some of those labels. And then of course you need to carry a magnifying glass with you to the store to be able to read the contents label on
some products. If the contents label is very long and in very small printing, I don’t use the product. I know of no evidence that GMO products cause cancer; however I am a strong advocate of adequate labelling so the consumer can make an informed decision, especially when it appears that those choices we make come home to us when we are told that our lifestyle and what we ate caused our ill health. I am glad I have a piece of land with good soil and I can grow many fresh vegetables and fruits for my use. I am also very pleased to see the growth of local food producers for example, to see Horsting Farms back in production and using the land to offer people healthy food. Desert Hills Ranch provides enough boxes of tomatoes and peppers and bags of onions that are made into LOON LAKE on p. 14

winter and get extra early tomatoes in the spring. I did that last fall with one tomato - a Latah variety, and in mid May I was picking fresh vine ripened tomatoes from it. My challenge is giving the plants enough light during the winter and to keep the pests off the plant. Mine went down with mites and never really recovered but there still are tomatoes ripening on it.
Speaking of tomatoes, I read last year in a farm magazine that you can take cuttings from your tomato plants in the fall before the frost and root them it is easy in a jar of water. You can keep the small plants in the house over the

the Anna’s here in the interior but so far I have seen none. And these little guys are hard to miss – in fact it is more an issue of near misses as they swish past so close that you can almost feel the air from their wings. They really do like to tease humans and I do wonder what response they are looking for. It’s not only when one is near a feeder that they do this, they also do it out in areas away from the feeders and it is unlikely that there is a nest nearby. I think they just like to tease us, because they can.
The other jewels on display are the butterflies. In my observations there are more butterflies around this year than previous years. There are small ones, medium sized ones and the big Western Swallowtail.
