Old Cariboo Rd. work gets approval Cache Creek has received approval and funding to replace the two culverts on Old Cariboo Rd. that were damaged during the May 23 flood Chief Financial Officer Sheila McCutcheon told Council that the work would begin this week. Council was hoping to have it finished before the Ministry of Transportation’s repaving of the road this year. The repaving is scheduled to begin in mid-October. The culvert replacement will include replacing about 300 metres of roadway as well. The project will cost about $50,000. The Ministry’s repaving project on Old Cariboo Rd. will cost the Village $113,000 and will go from the Starhouse Restaurant to the Vet Clinic.

Cache Creek backs rodeo request by Wendy Coomber Cache Creek Council agreed to send a letter of support for the Ashcroft Rodeo Association to Belkorp at its Sept. 28 meeting The Association is still looking for property to relocate the Rodeo. The letter to Council from the association’s president Bob Sidwell said the group was hoping to use a portion of Belkorp’s land adjacent to their Wastech business on Hwy 1. Sidwell said they had yet to receive a reply to the request they sent to Belkorp on July 31. “We feel that a letter of support from the Cache Creek Council would help the process along considerably,” he said. “I still consider this to be the Ashcroft Rodeo,” said Mayor John Ranta, “and feel the Rodeo Parade should continue in Ashcroft.” He told Council that he felt the event was an asset to the local area “and if we can help keep it here, we should.” The association has been trying to access land on the Dunes above Ashcroft, but the process has been bogged down by other property commitments and unclear land titles. Earlier this year, the rodeo was asked to leave the property they had leased for many years and no rodeo was held. The group is anxious to find a new home before the BCRA event is cancelled.

Province to fund urban deer projects by Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has committed up to $100,000 a year to share costs of “urban deer management operations,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reducing the risks and damage they cause. The province is responsible for wildlife management, but the government wants solutions to be developed locally. Some communities have resorted to killing deer, with mixed success and sometimes intense local opposition, while others suggest birth control, relocation or “hazing” of deer using dogs to keep them away from communities. A B.C. government fact sheet advises that if deer are to be killed, they should caught in traps that look like oversized hockey nets, then shot with a bolt gun at close range. Provincial staff can lend available equipment and issue permits to manage deer populations in or near urban areas, or develop hunting regulations for local situations. Using dogs to chase deer is illegal under wildlife protection legislation, but a permit was
issued to Kimberley to do a controlled trial in 2013. City council declared the trial a success, at a cost of $300 or more a day to deploy trained dogs and handlers. Invermere council found itself embroiled in legal action brought by a group of opponents, despite a local survey that found more than 70 per cent public support for a deer cull. Invermere officials were dealing with complaints of aggressive deer, deer eating garbage and appearing unhealthy, cougars encroaching on the community to prey on urban deer and deer deaths that appeared to be from unlawful action. After multiple resolutions brought to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in recent years, the province responded this week with the offer of funding and continued research. Municipalities must obtain permits from the forests ministry before attempting relocation, hazing, contraceptive measures that require handling of deer, or culls. The advisory committee, not yet named, is to continue developing standardized methods, such as how to safely process and distribute meat from deer that are killed. In rural Central Saanich, permits have been issued to use shotguns or bows against deer to protect crops. Another task for the committee will be to develop public consultation on methods of deer control, to head off protests, legal challenges and vigilante action.

The award was presented during the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver last week.
Water treatment plant repaired by Wendy Coomber Cache Creek’s new Water Treatment Plant continues to cause expensive headaches for the Village. The $2 million plant took several years to plan and build, and then another year to start up after running into problems with the pipes. On Sept. 11 a water line fitting broke inside the plant. Chief Financial Officer Sheila McCutcheon advised Council that the Public Works crew replaced the damaged fittings only to have another fitting fail once the plant was restarted. Public Works Foreman Steve Peacock said, “The second part of fail was fitted tightly to several bends requiring the entire section to be replaced with new parts.” The cost for the replacement parts was $3,000, which has re-
sulted in the Water Operating Repairs Budget being overbudget by appproximately $2,000. McCutcheon noted there still remains three months in the 2015 budget year, with a potential of other water repairs being required. She recommended that Council approve the increase in the Water Operations budget for repairs of $3,000, to be included in the upcoming budget amendment for 2015. Coun. Herb Hofer asked if there was any warranty left on the plant, which has been in operation for about two years now. It didn’t come up in discussion with the engineers, said McCutcheon. “It’s highly unlikely.” She said the new parts arrived last Friday and work will be completed this week.
Donation for new Playground
Playground Committee members Andrea Walker and Deanna Horsting accept a donation from Anne Bonter of Second Time Around. The Committee wants to replace the playground equipment in the Ashcroft pool park.
Andrea Walker and Deanna Horsting, representing the Ashcroft Playground Committee, were very pleased to accept a $1,500 donation from Anne Bonter of Second Time Around towards the purchase of new playground equipment for the Ashcroft Pool Park. The present playground equipment at the park is both outdated and suitable for only very young children. The Playground Committee has carefully selected playground equipment that will be suitable for toddlers to teens, providing a wide variety of play opportunities. Local service clubs have been approached with requests for either
financial assistance or partnerships opportunities, and plans are also underway for other fundraising initiatives. As many of you may know, playground equipment is quite expensive; however, the addition of new playground equipment at the Pool Park will definitely be a valuable addition for children, families and the community as a whole. Anyone interested in contributing to this worthwhile community project or being on our planning committee is welcome to contact either Andrea (250 453 9402) or Deanna (250 453 9794). Andrea Walker

WENDY COOMBER
The love of money is too tempting In a perfect world... What’s your idea of a perfect world? Mine would be no war, no starvation, no unhappiness, no one wants for anything. Everyone gets along peacefully. How much could we accomplish by eliminating the need for money and property? I know, we’ve tried communism, dictatorships, monarchies and systems with varying degrees of success along with catastrophic failures. The problem is, in my opinion, that even with these systems, there are always a few who have profited at the expense of others. Capitalism doesn’t bother cloaking itself in lofty or political ideals. While we may look at our society and consider it a success when compared to others, what is so successful about it? Is it successful because we have more than others? Shopping is an activity? We all have cars and computers and wide screen TVs and we produce tonnes of waste every year that gets trucked off to the landfill. Is capitalism successful because it created consumerism? Consumerism is a greedy little monster. The bigger it gets, the more it needs to consume. Companies must sell more in an effort to make a profit: they need to convince consumers to buy more by making more products. We try and solve starvation, but in many parts of the world the rich eat first. If you can’t protect your food and belongings by law or by force, you do without. We try and solve people’s bad habits such as eating food that leads to skyrocketing health care costs, but companies continue to produce junk food that they know will sell because that’s what they do. And as someone once said, “How are you going to keep them down on the farm, after they’ve see Paree?” We can regulate food, send aid and burn our credit cards, but all it takes is one person (usually more) who has found a way to make a profit, give themselves more than others have and society will once again be divided in the haves and have nots, with the “haves” always looking for ways to increase what they’ve already got. Perfection is a long ways off.
A RIPENING SUNFLOWER head, too heavy to face the sun
We all must choose where to Draw the Line Dear Editor This is about the column you wrote entitled Draw the Line on Jan. 13, 2004 where you quoted Eleanor Roosevelt’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. You yourself wrote, “How many times have we witnessed one person treating another in a demeaning fashion and turned a blind eye? A silent invitation for the bully to continue while also sending a message to the victim that they’re on their own. It’s everywhere …. just waiting for us to say the word, ‘Stop’.” So I am reminding your readers that bullying must stop wherever it is found - at fruit and vegetable stands, in stores, on playgrounds, on streets, in neighbourhoods and in families. There is no justification for sneers, put-downs, slapping, etc. anywhere. It is disheartening and disturbing to see some men and women bully older people and take such pleasure in it. They forget they’ll be old one day.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I know the majority of people are decent but there are always a few bad “apples” who choose to manipulate innocent situations to put themselves in a righteous position to avoid responsibility for their actions. We have to start somewhere to draw the line. Aren’t we all in this together? Pat Winslow Ashcroft

and his wife will be missed in Ashcroft. I must commend Ken Platz on his dedication and the time he has spent trying to get the point across to our MLA. I noticed as I read the article that the RCMP had been called three times to have him removed. Removed from doing what? Legally protesting as is his right in a democratic society. Whoever called the RCMP should be ashamed of themselves. I could not believe it when I read a few weeks ago an article telling him he should be spending his time differently. Whose right is it to tell Ken or anyone else how to spend their time? Sadly it seems some people feel that their position gives them that right, not so I say! We are all citizens of this Country and we all have the right to freely voice our opinions and to protest against what we feel is wrong. Ken and the others who have been protesting our lack of doctors have the right to do so. I must commend him for spending his time in the pursuit of something that he feels so strongly about.

Make Children First gives young children and parents a leg up by Wendy Coomber Make Children First has been offered to parents and children from aged 0-6 years for about 10 years now. It’s not the sort of program that co-ordinator Deanna Hosting can describe... “It’s a kind of a funny program,’ she says. “We support through behind the scenes stuff.” The program is an initiative funded through the provincial Ministry of Family and Child Development. Anything that helps young children and their parents in Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Spences Bridge and Clinton is what she looks for. The Kids Festival in Ashcroft this year was one of her ideas, and a very popular one. Other events include a chance for young parents to meet the public health nurse over dinner where they also get pictures of themselves with their toddler; a massage for pregnant mothers followed by a talk on health. The program has also provided bicycle helmets to the RCMP to give to families who can’t afford them. Similarly, they’ve provided car
seats in the same manner by with ICBC. And there is the annual Care Fair that rotates among the three communities and next May is Clinton’s turn. The Care Fair brings together young parents with service providers in the area. In fact, she says, bringing together service providers and potential clients is probably her biggest challenge. “Parents don’t know what services are available or how to access them,” she says. On the other hand, “Lots of the service providers don’t know how to get services to the parents.” Horsting tries to make those connections fun and engaging by turning them into contests like taking pictures of their child’s healthy lunch and submitting it for a prize. Parents are looking for

Historic treaty vote set for Canim Lake
by Gaven Crites 100 Mile Free Press In an effort to settle centuries-old land claims in British Columbia’s central Interior, the Canim Lake Band near 100 Mile House is one of four Northern Secwepemc (Shuswap) te Qelmucw (NStQ) bands in the midst of wrapping up one of the final stages of a historic treaty negotiation with the federal and provincial governments. The treaty, which has been in negotiation since 1993, involves millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of acres of territory. It covers a wide
range of land, wildlife, governance, economic and fiscal issues, while implicating the interests of private companies, the public and First Nations. The NStQ comprises some 2,500 members in four First Nation bands – Tsq’escen’ (Canim Lake), Stswecem’c / Xgat’tem (Canoe Creek/Dog Creek), Xats’ull/Cmetem’ (Soda Creek) and T’exelc (Williams Lake). A vote by NStQ members to approve what the NStQ Treaty Group has negotiated to date and move into final negotiations (from Stage 4 to Stage 5) has been scheduled for Feb.
11, 2016. The vote in February to move from draft treaty to final negotiations was originally slated this October, but the NStQ decided it needed more time to consult with members and delayed the vote by five months. Treaties are constitutionally protected agreements between governments that create long-term and mutually binding commitments with respect to governance of lands and resources. Unlike most of Canada, in many parts of B.C. treaties were never signed with Aboriginal Peoples.

Minor hockey season starts by Wendy Coomber Pretty soon it’ll be hockey night in Ashcroft again as minor hockey gets ready for another season. Lewis Kinvig is looking forward to another good year. The Thompson Cariboo Minor Hockey Associaion (TCMHA) president says enrolment has steadily increased from eight or nine years ago when there were only 25 players enrolled. This year there are about 90 so far, with more younger children enrolled than older. That flies in the face of other minor hockey associations that are struggling with declining enrolment. Kinvig says he thinks the biggest thing in TCMHA’s favour is being able to keep the costs affordable for families. He says the Village is really good about helping the association keep the ice costs down. “Between fundraising and volunteering, it helps us keep rates low,” he says. There’s a misconception, Kinvig says, that rates are high. That can be the case, he says, if the child wants to play in a competative league. This weekend the association is hosting a Skills and Development Camp with professional coach Robin Deitch. Each of the teams will get ice time with the coach. The camp is paid for through fundraising by volunteers. Minor hockey wouldn’t happen without volunteers, he says. They do the fundraisers, concession, the sandbagging. He says he’s involved because his children want to play. He played minor hockey in Ashcroft as a boy and there were a lot of people who kept it going then. Now it’s his turn to pitch in. “It’s important to have these programs and events for children,” he said. “I think we need to keep the kids active these days. We’re a small community and we need things like hockey, curling, and soccer as draws. We want to keep the population here.” Like all recreational facilities, the arena doesn’t make any money for the Village. In fact, it loses money. But it’s an important facility for the community, nonetheless. Playing team sports has benefits for future work ethics and personal relationships, says Kinvig. For one thing, it teaches you how to get along with others. “I like coaching,” he said, “and seeing the kids develop their skills and have fun. That’s what it’s all about.” Enrolment takes place in the Spring right after the season finishes. He says two years ago they only had 17 players registered by the end of September. They added a late fee and pushed early registration. The association has other groups they have to give their numbers to so they can all be insured - and no one goes onto the ice until they’re insured. For those who haven’t been paying attention to the calendar, late registrations are still being accepted, but players aren’t allowed on the ice until the registration is paid. The association is offering Bauer’s First Shift again this year for youngsters who have never played hockey. The program outfits each child with hockey equipment and teaches them the basics. Kinvig said last year they had 35 kids in the program., five of whom are now playing on teams in the league. This year they have 10 so far. The program was a lot of work last year, he says, but it was also a lot of fun. Fun is what it’s all about, he says. He doesn’t disagee with winning, but not at all costs. On the other hand, he says, “It’s no fun getting whooped all the time.” Ashcfroft is hosting another Atoms tourna-
ment this year in late January, because last year’s turned out to be so successful. Before that, the PeeWees kick off the season at home with the first game in the arena against 100 Mile House on Oct. 18 at 12:30. The association is still looking for coaches - as well as other volunteers - because several coaches are needed for each team. There is a coaching clinic on Nov. 1.

Won’t back down
In my last column “Pit bull propaganda is deadly” I described how canines bred for hundreds of years to be champion dog killers are not a safe family pet. I supported facts such as pit bulls kill and severely injure more humans and animals than all other breeds combined with links to comprehensive studies, essays and statistics from several reputable sources. I also made the prediction there’d be an onslaught of hostility over my ignorance and demands that I do my research. Within moments of the article being published there were countless online comments and emails stating exactly that. It was obvious many hadn’t even bothered to read what I wrote. I was inundated with the usual rhetoric: pit bulls get a bad rap; it’s all how you raise them; blame the deed not the breed; pit bulls are harmless wiggle butts; they were bred to be nanny dogs; it’s impossible to identify a pit bull; the media only reports pit bull

The familiar myths were often written in the most aggressive language and tone imaginable, and not one person provided any evidence to dispute the thoroughly researched facts I presented. As vile as some of the messages were, they failed to surprise or intimidate me - but that’s only because I’ve written on this topic before and I’ve learned what to expect from previous feedback, as well as from reading com-
October • Week 1 ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may be challenging to express your true feelings, especially when you fear what others may think. Just do what feels comfortable to you. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Take a sentimental journey with a loved one, Taurus. You never know what examining your emotions will uncover, and you will get to spend quality time together. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around and a welcome member to any new group. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone may catch you off guard this week and you don’t have your go-to plan in place. Worry not, as you will rebound quickly and bounce back in a big way. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it may seem like everyone is hanging on every word you say this week. Don’t worry about performing, just continue to do what gravitates people toward you. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, share your long-term goals with colleagues and you may find some unexpected allies. Support can only help your efforts even further. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, set personal feelings aside when dealing with professional matters.

Open up to friends or family members so you can share this positive development with loved ones. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Waiting patiently this week will not get the job done, Aquarius.

Take your time and try a new approach, and you will be happy with the results.
ments under pit bull attack stories in the news. My first glimpse of this combative crowd came four years ago after a pit bull sunk his powerful jaws into the face of my friend’s eight-year-old son leaving a gaping wound in his cheek, requiring 40 stitches and scarring him for life. According to the pit bull apologists, the boy, who had simply pet his friend’s dog, must have provoked the attack. The pet’s owner was faulted as well. “There are no bad dogs, only bad owners,” was repeated incessantly. It’s one of their most popular mantras, but how do they explain all the tragedies caused by pit
bulls raised from puppyhood by good, responsible owners who trained them to be safe family pets? People like Susan Iwicki believed this myth until her two pit bulls destroyed the precious life of her friend’s 14-month-old son who was in her care at the time. How could this have happened when she had done everything right? She’d neutered and spayed her pups as soon as they were old enough, she socialized them, gave them lots of love and attention, and her three-year-old dogs had never shown any signs of aggression before they suddenly assaulted her while she was holding Daxton on her hip. Without any provocation or warning their genetics kicked in and they attacked her and savaged him for 15 torturous minutes, leaving him grotesquely disfigured and then dead. His parents were shattered beyond repair, and, like every victim of one of these horrendous attacks,
they were blamed for it, as was the owner. But who was really at fault? Believing the myth that it’s all how you raise them is what killed the innocent toddler. Did the pit bull advocacy camp take any responsibility in that? Of course they didn’t. Like vultures, so many of their hardcore members preyed on the grieving mother and father with “I’m sorry for your loss, but it’s not the dog’s fault” type messages. When Jeff and Kimberly Borchardt failed to be silenced and continued to share their story, warning others not to believe the lies they’d believed, the depraved vitriol spewed at them was appalling. One asicko posted a picture of Daxton with the caption: “my dart board lmfao.” Another poorly written online post stated: “Let’s play kickball with jeff’s son head. He dead so not like he will need it.” An additional nutter tauntingly named his pit bull after the deceased little boy. Since their beautiful son’s horrific death in 2013, a large part of Jeff’s time has been committed to learning as much about canines as possible and sharing actual facts about the genetic and physical make up of pit bulls in the hopes no
one will endure the unspeakable sorrows his family has. Tragically, the killing and severe attacks on children, adults and animals by pit bulls continues at a sickening rate. Despite the never ending stalking and harassment of the bereaved couple, their dedication to honour Daxton’s life by debunking the pit bull propaganda lives on. A multitude of attack victims and victim advocates have now joined them in their “won’t back down” movement. Their mission is simple: to educate the public about dangerous dogs, primarily the fighting and gripping breeds since they’re by far the biggest risk to human and animal safety. As stated in my last
column, enforced breed-specific legislation (BSL) works. It prevents maiming and deaths, and that includes the deaths of a million unwanted pit bulls euthanized in U.S. shelters every year due to over breeding. No birth equals no kill, so let’s make sterilization mandatory, impose stronger dog regulations and finally end this escalating victimization and heartache for the protection of all.

Legion is a changing tradition by Wendy Coomber Royal Canadian Legion Branch 113 - also known as the Ashcroft Legion - has been undergoing a quiet metamorphosis at the corner of Brink and 3rd St. “The Legion used to be open to just military or family of military,” says Branch 113 president George Cook. “Now it’s getting to be more of a community function,” In fact, the Legion hosts a variety of community functions and donates to many different community groups. “We’re always looking for new members,” he says. Volunteers help run the activities, put on the suppers and tournaments. However, “You don’t have to do any more than you want to,” he says. “If you don’t want to do more than come out and play darts, that’s fine.” The first Legion opened in Winnipeg in 1926. The Ashcroft branch has been in town for more than 45 years. It hosts large events like the annual Robbie Burns Supper, Remembrance Day; it organizes the Poppy Drive, the Christmas Craft Fair in the Cache Creek Community Hall; it offers Friday night suppers, Meat Draws, the occasional concert (Nov. 6 is the next one with Steve Hogg); drop in darts, and cards.

New services added to a growing list for Clinton residents The pageantry of colour October ushers in is but the crowning glory Of a season that is kin To the latter years of life, When memory’s hand holds sway And paints a glorious picture Of thoughts of yesterday. - Lois Silliker When the calendar opens to the October page, Fall activities are generally well underway. The leisurely pace of summer has ended – the flurry of school reopening and meetings resuming in September has passed and you might find yourself wondering what you will do with your new found “spare time”. Another aspect of our personal growth in 2015 is to consider volunteerism. The Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper has this to say about volunteerism: “Volunteers make valuable contributions to Canadian families and communities. Volunteerism is the lifeblood of any modern, caring neighbourhood, town, city and country. The people that make volunteerism possible take many forms - Volunteers can be individual men and women, innovative notfor-profit organizations or dynamic businesses that contribute time and financial support to community organizations and charities. Perhaps the best characteristic of volunteering is the simple truth that virtually anyone or any organization can volunteer because nearly everyone
ROCKIN’ & TALKIN’ Clinton Seniors Association Zee Chevalier has something worthy to offer.” Through volunteering young people can discover their full potential, have new experiences, create new contacts and check out career choices. Seniors can have an interesting and healthy retirement; can stay connected and share their passions and skills. Volunteers of all ages can take pleasure in working alongside people who appreciate their talents and capabilities. Non-profit and voluntary organizations, individuals and society as a whole benefit from the activities of volunteers and the volunteers themselves benefit from their volunteer activities. Volunteer activities help individuals with their interpersonal skills, such as understanding people better, motivating others and dealing with difficult situations. Volunteering helps to develop better communication skills and increases knowledge about issues related to your volunteering. Volunteering is about choosing to give your time, energy and skills to something that matters to you; choosing to make a difference. In doing this, you not only improve the lives of others and contribute to your community, you also improve yourself. There is some-

thing very liberating, empowering and satisfying about making a difference in your community in the way that best suits you! Since volunteers are motivated by a desire to help and fuelled by enthusiasm, they feel a strong sense of achievement. It may be true that no one person can solve all the world’s problems, but what you can do is make your corner of the world a better place. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Volunteering is the perfect way to discover something you are good at doing or develop new skills in an area you already enjoy. It’s never too late to gain new skills and there’s no reason why you should stop learning just because you’ve finished school or work or have become a senior. For example, staging a fund-raising event can help you develop planning, organizational and budgeting skills. Be part of your community. People and societies depend on each other for survival. Volunteering is ultimately about helping others and having a positive impact on the well-being of others. Volunteering is an excellent way to escape the ordinary and add more balance to your life. If you’re doing something you enjoy on a regular basis you may find yourself less stressed, more inspired and more motivated to learn new things and develop new perspectives on old issues. As well, you’ll gain valuable life experiences. Volunteers are a diverse range of people. from all backgrounds and walks of life; a mix that provides a wonderful forum to develop interpersonal skills and lasting friendships. All the people in your life are interested in who you are and what you do when you’re not with them. Volunteering reflects a complete picture of you and gives real examples of your commitment, dedication and interests. Show people what you are passionate about and maybe you will inspire them too! It’s especially appropriate in October as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day on the 12th, to be grateful for the talents and skills we possess and the ability and willingness to share them with others as volunteers in our community. Don’t forget to have a little fun on Halloween. Seniors, particularly, are pleased that more services have come to Clinton. Kudos to the Nomad Motel for setting up Dr. James Kendall, a chiropractor in Room 4 from 12 noon on Wednesdays. Appointments can be made through his Ashcroft office by calling 250 453-2266.
