Clinton turns out to say farewell to Tony Caron

Council agrees to use rolled curbs

Despite Mayor John Ranta’s opposition to the use of rolled curbs, Cache Creek council-lors voted to use them on the upcoming Mac-lean Cres. reconstruction project.

Based on second public meeting held on June 17 with residents of the crescent, staff rec-ommended proceeding with a 10 metre wide road with rolled curbs, sidewalk on south and east side of the street, and added street lights.

“I think Council is aware that I’m not at all in favour of rolled curbs,” said Ranta as he tried to convince Council to amend the motion to read “barrier” curbs instead of “rolled” curbs.

He pointed out that a barrier curb is safer for children, making it near impossible for in-attentive drivers to accidentally drive onto the sidewalk and hit them; while rolled curbs made it easier for moving vehicles to end up on pri-vate property. “I am still offended that we have a rolled curb in the dowtown core where B-trains drive six inches away from pedestrians,” he added.

“Ninety per cent of the people at the public meeting wanted rolled curbs,” said Coun. Herb Hofer, who also lives on Maclean Cres. “I do what the public wants me to do, not what coun-cil wants,” he added.

Hofer and Coun. Lisa Dafoe opposed the amendment and voted in favour of the origin-al motion that included rolled curbs. The may-or voted against it.

by Susan SwanFamily, friends, neighbours and

a 40-strong Honour Guard con-sisting of BC Ambulance person-nel, RCMP members and members of the Clinton Volunteer Fire De-partment packed the Clinton Me-morial Hall on Sunday, June 21 to bid farewell to Tony Caron who had passed away in early June.

Tony had served in the Clinton Ambulance Station for the past six years and Unit Chief Chris Guerin shared fond memories of their time

together.The Siska and Local Hand-

drummers paid tribute to Tony with traditional songs of farewell.

The volunteer time that Tony spent in the community was praised, as was his compassion for those he served in a professional capacity.

Left to mourn him are his spouse, Tracy Fallstrom, his father Ken Caron, family and friends.

Rest in Peace Tony. The race is won!

POLICE REPORTWendy Coomber

RCMP Sgt. Michel Grondin leads the Ashcroft Rodeo Parade, with a horse named Joe.

Possible impairedJune 18 at 12:55 pm police received

a complaint about a possilbly impaired driver in a vehicle driving slowly and er-ratically on Hwy 1 south of Cache Creek. The vehicle and its driver were located at the bottle depot in Ashcroft but the 75 year old Cache Creek man displayed no signs of impairment.

Strange but harmlessJune 19 at 9:05 am a 42 year old Cache Creek woman

called to complain about a strange man in his 60s ap-proaching people near the Cache Creek Elementary School and talking about sexually inappropriate topics. The 60 year old man of no fixed address was located. He was wearing pink nail polish and tight fitting women’s jeans, and had an outstanding warrant out of Ontario for mischief. He didn’t appear to be a danger to himself or others and was asked to move along.

Tires attract strange man June 19 at 12:35 pm police received a complaint from

a 49 year old woman in 16 Mile about a strange man who had climbed over the fence of her scrap yard to look

at tires. He swore at her when she went out to speak to him. He was associated with a vehicle whose Registered Owner

was a 60 year old Prince George man. Police called the man and advised him not to return.

Crossing arm malfunctionJune 19 at 9:55 am police noticed that the cross-

ing arm at the CP crossing by Evans Rd. was down and the lights were blinking, but there was no train in sight. Drivers who were sitting there unable to cross advised that this had been going on for at least 15 minutes. CP was advised and said they would send someone to fix it.

Liquor stolenJune 20 at 9 am police were advised of a break and

enter at the Starhouse Restaurant in Cache Creek by the owner. Some time overnight between 11 pm and 8:45 am someone had used a rock to smash a front window and also a window behind the till where they took two bot-tles of wine and two bottles of whisky, all within reach

of the broken front win-dow. Anyone having infor-mation about this is asked to phone the RCMP at 453-2216.

Possible assaultJune 20 at 10 am a 41 year old Kamloops woman

called to report an assault and possible sexual assault that took place approximately a week and a half earlier. She accused her boyfriend, a 32 year old Ashcroft man. The following day she called to say she made up the com-plaint to get back at him. The couple have been involved in a number of domestic disputes in recent months. The matter is still under investigation.

“Whore” slaps “punk”June 21 at 3:45 pm police received a complaint from

a Cache Creek man, 22, who said his 60 year old neigh-bour at the Nugget Motel had punched him after accus-ing him of stealing her beer. The neighbour advised po-lice that “the little punk” just moved in and was leaving his garbage all over the place. When she asked him to clean it up, he called her an “old whore” so she slapped him. Neither wanted charges laid.

Under suspensionJune 22 at 1 am Clinton RCMP asked a patrolling

Ashcroft officer to check a vehicle suspected of being driven by an unlicensed driver. The vehicle was locat-ed in the area of Hwy 99 and stopped. The 32 year old Cache Creek woman initially provided a false name, but eventually gave her real one. She was unlicensed and currently under suspension, for which she was arrested. Her vehicle was impounded.

Cash stolen in B&EJune 22 at 6 am police were called by the owner of

Anie’s Pizza who called to report a break and enter some time overnight. She arrived at work and found the front door damaged, and the cash register inside had been broken into. Police reviewed a surveillance tape inside the restaurant and watched as a lone male entered and stole some cash from the till. He was wearing a dark sweater with a light stripe across it, and a white hat. The matter is still under investigation.

Bank card stolenJune 22 at 10 am police received a call from a 47

year old Cache Creek woman reporting that someone had stolen her bank card from her purse and withdrawn a small amount of money. She said she had disclosed her PIN number to her room mate during a conversation where a male house guest of her room mate was also present. She has since cancelled her accounts. The mat-ter is still under investication.

Grass fire in townJune 23 at 11:03 am police were called to assist the

Cache Creek Fire Dept. in putting out a small grass fire behind the Cache Creek Machine Shop. The fire was extinguished before either police or fire arrived at the scene.

Body found near tracksJune 23 at 4:20 pm police were notified of a body

found near the CN tracks south of Ashcroft in the area of Drinkwater Rd. Police said the death is not suspicious and that foul play is not suspected. The man appeared to have jumped from the moving train. Police said the vic-tim is not a local resident, nor was he an employee of the train company. The matter is still under investigation and police are still in the process of informing his family.

Tara Winter (left) from CFDC Sun Country pulled out the winning ticket at the Ashcroft Barber Shop last Friday while shop owner Lene Madieros (right) holds the bucket. The occasion was 10 years in business. For two weeks, customers at the barber shop have been putting their names into a draw for a basket full of men’s toiletries. Gordon Berdan was the lucky winner of the basket, which included a travel kit, body spray, gels, soaps and shampoos, nail clippers and much more. “This is a milestone for me,” said Madeiros. She thanked her customers, Sun Country for their assistance and the local communities for their support.

Young horsemanshipLeft to right Tiffany Fletcher, Jennifer Vos, Kaitlyn de Bruijn, Sloane Hammond and Nancy Josephson. The float from Gryphon Hollow Farms won the Best Jr. Equestrian award.

The Ashcroft-Cache Creek Seniors held a general meeting on June 19 without their presi-dent Pat Kirby, who was in the Kamloops’ hos-pital. Muriel Scallon chaired the meeting in her absence. Joyce Freeman led in the singing of O Canada.

Minutes were read by Donna Tetrault and they were approved. Two directors were elected by acclamation - Nola and Erma.

There was no report on the chair lift for the front entrance yet. Barb Shaw suggested another meeting on this matter to find out more about what we need for a variance permit to have it in-stalled.

Nola suggested that we get a rolling cart to hold dishes when we have our bazaars, and everyone agreed.

The treasury report was unable to be read at this time because the treasurer was absent; the kitchen report was also unble to be read for the same reason. Some discussion on this followed and we will try to remedy this for future meet-ings.

Committee reports were read and most are slowing down for the summer months. We still-have some carpet bowling and our windup will be June 27.

Our thanks to all until we open again in Sep-tember. Barb thanked Muriel for taking on the meeting and Donna read out the birthdays for June.

Some jokes were read and the meeting ad-journed. Tea, coffee and goodies were served and after a gab session, the cards were brought out and the fun began.

Nola, I’ll miss your laugh while we are closed for the summer.

Voters may get their say on incinerator

The Tri-City NewsCoquitlam voters won’t see a referendum

question about Metro Vancouver’s planned in-cinerator on the civic ballot when they go the polls in November.

But when the TransLink funding referen-dum eventually takes place, voters across the region may be asked for their view on the con-troversial topic.

That’s the hope of Coquitlam city council, which passed a motion this week to have the issue tied to the TransLink referendum.

The motion came late Monday as coun-cil sought to find ways for the public to have a voice on Metro’s $450-million incinerator pro-posal.

Coun. Neal Nicholson, a member of Met-ro’s zero waste committee, said he has heard plenty from angry residents as well as frustrat-ed Metro directors who are concerned about the agency’s plan to burn trash in a new facility.

Coun. Craig Hodge said a number of groups, including the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, the BC Chamber of Commerce and the Vancouver and Surrey boards of trade, are opposed to the incinerator plan.

CAKEWALKCHRONICLES

A FIELD OF BACHELOR BUTTONS in the morning sunlight

Death of a good manHaving known Ed Gyoba for

nigh onto 30 or more years, I can say that he was a big, gentle man with a lot of useful knowledge about how things worked. Skills that the whole community drew upon at one time or the other. Ed’s untimely death in Ashcroft came as a shock in the extreme.

He was a friend and fellow cof-fee conversationalist with so many in Ashcroft. Ashcroft is not the kind of village where violent deaths occur. The fact is, this is a bucolic kind of place. Sheep move slowly across the mead-ow on the farm on the edge of the town. The fields of freshly planted produce butt up against the alluvial fans on the brown mountain sides that surround us. Nothing much seems to happen here. So the week that Ed Gyoba was killed and the yellow crime scene tape was strung across Hill Street, a hush seemed to spread over the entire area above and below the mesas. I guess we were all in shock. These things happen. But some-where else. Not here.

When our university in Kamloops was known as Cariboo College, Ed and I did some teaching work for the Col-lege. Ed taught some computer cours-es, and I was teaching some women who had decided to go back into the workforce business English, filing and something called Ergonomics (which is a study of the work place, sort of). Ed

had a little car then, and we had to go to the College for reasons I have long since forgotten. What I have not for-gotten was the conversations we had as big Ed drove at what seemed break-neck speed. Casual conversation, you’d call it today, as the fields of alfalfa and the rocky escarpments slid by and we threaded through the traffic.

The years passed by and Ed got married to Barbara and they had a lit-tle white dog, as I recall. And I would see the three of them walking. Ed tall and large and Barb much smaller, and the dog still smaller still. Barb drove school bus then.

More years passed. I bought some property in Cache Creek and life was pretty good by the Bonaparte Riv-er. Then Sherman came into my life. Sometimes, the odd guest would tell us they smelled gas. I guess we had lived with the odour for so long, we hadn’t noticed it. We called Fortis. The man came with something that looked like a geiger counter. I know it wasn’t one of

those, but it looked like that. Yes, there was a leak somewhere the man said, as he moved around the kitchen, laundry area (It was too small to distinguish the spot by the word, “room”). Fortis man said he thought we might need to have an air vent put in that area. Couldn’t detect a leak. In the meantime, Ed had gone to Lillooet to work. But one weekend he happened to be back in Ashcroft, and I asked him

if he would come out and look at the place in Cache Creek. Ed said he’d do so on his way back to Lillooet.

He came into the kitchen area which was little more than a galley, pulled out the big natural gas stove, lay down on the floor, looked at the pipe. Said, “I need a monkey wrench.”

Ed got his six feet something frame up off the floor, went out to his car, and brought back a monkey wrench. I take it that Ed kept a tool box in the trunk. Anyway, he brought back a mon-key wrench. Lay back on the floor, and did some jimmying with something. I guess it was the pipe. Then he got up, pushed the stove back in place against the wall, and said, “It’s fixed.”

And it was. Now the moral of this rather long story is, that Ed took the trouble. You know. To move the stove, and to get down on the floor, and look, and smell. He didn’t have that geiger

Remembering a good man - Ed Gyoba

See CAKEWALK on p. 6

It’s not a mutual love affair: the mosqui-toes and black flies love me, but I can’t re-turn the sentiment.

Last year was characterized by the ever present yellow jacket hornets. This year the skeeters and black flies are making outdoor life unbearable. Which means... it must be vacation time.

Lucky for me, that holiday feeling of eu-phoria will trump the bites and stings of any insects - for a few days at least.

I’m not immune to taking all the inter-net surveys that catch my eye: What’s your Flower? What Country are you? etc. Some are truly mindless, others are thought-pro-voking.

I’m told that my type of tourism is the stay at home type, which is more or less true. I did all of my travelling when I was young and didn’t have all of the attach-ments that come with .... er, maturity. I love nothing better than to putter around in the yard, tend the garden, pull the weeds, relax on the deck. After last year’s renovations, I’d better enjoy it!

Another survey tells me that I’m driven by curiosity. Yep. Show me a hill and I have to see what’s on the other side of it. Side roads drive me nuts because I want to trav-el down each and every one to see what’s there.

Every year we take trips to see family and friends, since we’re a widespread bunch. It’s not the same as taking a trip purely for sightseeing, although I manage to get a bit of that in as well, since every-where you go, there’s another hill and more unexplored side roads.

Not to mention, new quilt shops to see.But I have to say, the best part of these

trips is coming home, wherever home is. My own kitties. My own bed. My own re-frigerator.

So, this is my last issue and my last edi-torial for a few weeks. Barbara Roden will take over from me from now until July 23.

From now until then, I will be catching up on my sleep, visiting family, enjoying my backyard, cursing those little biting in-sects, and sitting on my deck with a happy, vacant expression on my face.

See you when I get back!

Joe Charron this Wednesday at Ashcroft Music in The Park

This Wednesday at 6:30 pm bring your favourite lawn chair or blanket to Heritage Park Gazebo on Railway Ave. Joe Charron will be bringing his country folk songs and stories to Ash-croft on Wednesday, June 25. Opening the night will be local singer songwriter Nadine Davenport.

The concerts are starting earlier at 6:30 pm for the local opener and 7 pm for the feature act. Donations are ap-preciated as the musicians come a long way to share their talent with us.

Music writer Rick Dennis once de-scribed Joe as having “a novelist’s eye for detail and the soul of a honky-tonk poet.” He has recorded four albums (two with The Laws) and produced a music talk show for Shaw Cable called “Canadian Songsmith” that featured interviews with Canada’s touring sing-er/songwriters. His song “Providence Ferry” has been recorded by five differ-ent artists, most recently by Montana Blackfeet troubadour Jack Gladstone whose album won a Native American Music award.

Joe says, “I treat songwriting like art. I love Tom Waits comment, ‘Vo-cabulary is my instrument. I really like the way writers like Waits and Guy Clarke use language. I have always been taken by Cormac McCarthy and Annie Proulx for that reason and re-cently I have been reading some es-says by robert Jame Waller (Bridges of Madison County). Those folks are all amazing. You can smell their lan-guage and you can taste it. You can feel it in your gut. That’s how I try to write songs.”

The concerts in the Gazebo at Herit-age Place Park are held in June, July and August every 2nd and 4th Wednes-day night from 6:30-9:30 pm. On July 9 Juno winning multi instrumentalists - Pugs and Crows; July 23 - Saskia and Darrel; on Aug. 13 our friends Willy Blizzard will entertain us with their country folk; and the Grand Finale on Aug. 27 will feature hometown faves, Spiritus Mundii and the The Melaw-men Collective. Should be a great sum-mer!

Parades, smoke detectors and tea for everyonecounter looking thing either. He just had Ed. And Ed knew one hell of a lot about gas stoves. At one time, he’d done warranty work for the company that made them. Then Ed returned to Lilloo-et.

Direct, practical, self suf-ficient. He will be remem-bered for many things, that good, uncomplicated, intelli-gent man that he was. By the way, Ed taught Tai Chi too.

The Rodeo ParadeAs parades go, Ashcroft’s

Rodeo Parade has to take the red ribbon every year. More power to the organizers, par-ticipants. The crowds that line Railway Avenue. Some bring chairs. Some sit on the curb. Some stand. The senior folk are comfortably chaired under the shelter of the shopping plaza. They are supplied with cold bot-tled water, cookies. The pa-rade begins with the Moun-tie in his fine red uniform on his fine brown horse that prances under the rein as if it was a royal horse on Buck-ingham Palace Road in Lon-don. The equestrians fol-low. The Shriners come with their motorcycles, swinging from one side of Railway to the other, not missing a beat. The floats move by, throwing candy. The pipe band march-es with the plaintive piping that stirs the heart (if you

have one), tartans swing-ing. The drummers from Ke-lowna beat their drums. The dance hall girls swing their beautiful netted stockinged legs and show off their der-rieres to the Offenbach num-ber, as they did in Paris a century ago. Dancing, drum-ming, marching, piping, the procession moves slowly by. And finally, the fire de-partment and search and res-cue end the parade with their usual drama. You’d have to be pretty weary-worldly not to enjoy the live drama of a parade like that.

My new home“But where will you

paint?” I was asked by a con-cerned some one, when I told them I was moving into the Manor. “Never you mind,” I replied, “I’ve been painting in a corner of a room for 60 years. I’ll find a place.” After all, it only takes space for an easel and a work table. And some light. Daylight, for me. I don’t paint by artificial light. So I jettisoned a couple of dining chairs and found a place. And I am ready to begin.

No.4, Thompson View Manor is my new home. I have more closet and cup-board space here than I have ever had. The Manor is ex-pertly managed, inside and out. The long view of green grass, tall elm trees, a beauti-

fully masoned rock wall, and the mountains beyond are what I see from my front window. Automatic sprink-lers keep the lawn green. There is a big rose bush just a few yards from the bed-room window. Everything works. Even the smoke de-tectors. I found that out shortly after moving in, when I put a tray of fish and chips into the oven. It went off with that penetrating beep that brought a neigh-bour in with a long fly swat-ting looking thing which she waved furiously and stopped the beeping. But as she was about to leave, the beeping began again. She went back and waved the thing and stopped the beeping. Hand-ed me the beeper stopper and said, “Here, you can have it.”

It’s a little like living in a hotel. You don’t have to worry about a thing. Except yourself. I like to cook. Sim-ple meals. But if I want to, I can walk down the long hall to the Assisted Living din-ing room and have a meal. You have to give the cook 24 hours notice though. And you purchase your tickets before hand and give them to the waitress when she serves you.

Visitors are starting to come. Bob and Kirs-ten brought a lovely pot of chrysanthemums and ad-mired the layout. Tanner is

getting trained to walk with the other dogs. Nancy comes twice a week when she can, and takes the dogs for their

much needed walks. The dogs get along very well. And everyone carries their doggie bags with them and does their civic duty by pick-ing up. Which is more than I can say about some of the users of our lovely Heritage Park on Railway. Dispen-sers are at either end of the park. Yet, some irresponsible dingbats are letting their dogs do and not picking up. And people who leave their cigarette butts in and around the park. Well, I’d shoot them at sunrise, if I could.

Wilderness WayHas their zip line up I

was told. That should attract all those bold young hearts. We wish them well. Their float in the Rodeo Parade was very effective. And An-drea on the drum beat helped too. (Despite having part of her hand wrapped in a ban-dage). Wilderness Way is a great idea. There should be plenty of weary business men and women who would find a resort like that a very attractive get-away from it all.

The new Tea RoomAnd have you tried the

spanking new Tea Room on Railway Avenue in Ash-croft? If not, why not? It’s the type of facility you’d find in a large city. Congratula-tions to Nadine Davenport on its opening. It’s a lovely venue for having a good vis-it with a friend. Very com-fortably designed. And the tea is pretty good too! (And I’m told there will be coffee as well).

LIFE WITH PETS

Looks like summer is � nally here , for most of us, that is a welcome relief from the snow and cold that seemed like it would never leave. For some pets, however, the summer season brings its own set of problems in the form of allergies.Just like people, pets can suffer allergic re-

actions to any number of things including plants, pollen, insects, food and countless other offending substances. Common signs of environmental allergens include itchy skin, watery or red eyes and sneezing. Dogs that are allergic to a food they are eating fre-quently lick or chew their paws or lower legs and may even bite their toenails. They may also have chronic ear infections, red ears or they may also “scoot” to relieve itching. Contact allergies, such as to grass or pollen,

may result in redness and scratching on the belly or in the armpit (axillary) area. Plastic food and water dishes may also trigger aller-gies and pets with this type of allergy may display a red, rashy chin and lips.Diagnosing a speci� c allergen can be a

bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. Allergies are an indication of a hypersensi-tive immune system, and that system may over-react to many different things. Clinical signs of allergies may also overlap. In other words, some pets with allergies to airborne substances may also have food sensitivities or contact allergies. To add to the confu-

sion, pets can develop new sensitivities over tine. This is often the case with food aller-gies, when pets become intolerant to a food they have been eating for a long time. Proper diagnosis and treatment usually in-

volves several steps, and may include skin biopsies, blood testing, eliminating specif-ic foods, prescription hypoallergenic diets, medicated shampoos or rinses, or trials with different medications to relieve symptoms. Pets may also be treated with a series of in-jections designed for their speci� c condition in order to desensitize their immune system with the eventual goal of reducing symp-toms. Since allergies involve an abnormal re-

sponse of the immune system, attempts to remove allergens from your pet’s diet or en-vironment will not relieve symptoms over-night. Food allergy trials, for example, take anywhere from four to six weeks to take full effect. Having a pet with allergies can be discour-

aging and frustrating for owners, as allergies are a lifelong condition. As in people, al-lergies can be managed but not cured. The good news is, treatments are improving all the time and many therapies can be quite valuable in reducing � are ups and making your pet more comfortable.

GARBAGE COLLECTIONDue to the Canada Day Holiday, garbage pick up normally scheduled for Tuesday July 1st, will be collected on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014.


Full Moons, Farmer Markets and Desert Daze

Supporting the Plein AirOn behalf of Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society, Barbara Roden (right) accepts a donation from Hedda Hall (left) of Royal LePage in Ashcroft for the group’s Plein Air this Sept. 16-18.

Summer is upon us! 30 degrees today and the riv-er is already looking mighty tempting for a swim!

Desert Daze festivalThe plans for Desert

Daze Festival are also heat-ing up! The dedicated group of volunteers are very busy with preparations. I’m very happy to announce the main musical line-up for this year’s Festival - Friday even-ing we have local favourites Spiritus Mundii, followed by North Country Gentle-men, and Magic Rooster fin-ishing off the night. Satur-day evening will see another local favourite Flat Busted, followed by Terrence Jack and then back by popular de-mand, The Johnson Broth-ers will finish off the festi-val. The afternoons will be filled with a variety of musi-cians – starting at 3 pm on Friday and 1 pm on Satur-day. The final schedule with all the start times is still be-ing developed, but will be posted on the website in the very near future.

Saturday afternoon we will again have an apple bob-bing and watermelon seed spitting contest, and there will be a supervised area for the kiddies to play. The Vol-unteer Fire Dept. will be put-ting on a pancake break-fast, and of course we will have a beer garden. Ticket prices and other details can

be found on the website de-sertdaze.ca , and I encourage you to check out the various musicians’ websites or face-book pages – we really have some fantastic talent com-ing to entertain us! Anyone wishing to volunteer in ex-change for a weekend pass or a discount please go to the website – we need lots! And if you would like to be a vendor the applications are there as well.

Farmer and Flea MarketThe Spences Bridge

Farmer/Flea Market con-tinues to thrive, with cherries now coming in hard and fast as well. We are enjoying the social atmosphere of folks visiting over a cup of coffee as they check out the tables. If you have something to sell, tables are $5, call 458-2489 to book. Anyone inter-ested in busking? We have a mic set up, and love the atmosphere of music filling the hall, so call the above number and come on out! We are encouraging market goers to visit the other busi-

nesses in the area while they are out and about – don’t for-get to ask for 10 per cent dis-count!

Full Moon celebrationsThe Cook’s Ferry Wis-

dom Keepers and the New Horizon’s Elders Coun-cil partnered to host two great pot luck celebrations on the Full Moons of May and June. June’s was a Ha-waiian themed night with lim-bo con-tests, Hula dance con-test, uku-lele play-ing and incred-ible food! There was much laughter! This is a true tes-tament to the work of

the New Horizon’s program continuing to bring folks together! The next one is planned for the Full Moon of July 12. It will be held at the “Arbour”, and will be cele-brating the sun. Watch for posters for specifics. Every-one is welcome and encour-aged to join us for fun and games, food and laughter!

See you in SeptemberAlthough many of us are

busy with the above events, the club won’t meet again now until the AGM on Sept. 10. Hope to see lots of new faces!

Ashcroft CiB looking for garden contest entriesFor the eighth year in a row, Scotts

will be sponsoring the Scotts Miracle-Gro Garden Contest for communities who are involved at both the Provincial and National level in the Communities in Bloom competition. There are three categories that communities may en-ter someone: Best Residential Flower Garden, Best Residential Edible Gar-den and Best Youth-Run Edible Garden (open to kids 14 and under).

Each community will select an en-trant for one or more of the categor-ies within their community. These se-

lections will qualify for entry into the national contest. Last year Ashcroft’s Shila Natha had her residential edible garden entered into the contest and was selected a winner at the national level!

We are requesting some help from the residents of Ashcroft. As we cannot be familiar with all the gardens that are grown in Ashcroft we would appreciate suggestions from the residents. Do you have or do you know someone who has a flower or vegetable garden worthy of entering into the contest? Do you know of any youth who have planted and are

tending their own edible garden?We would like to hear from you.

Please give Andrea Walker a call at 250 453 9402 or email [email protected] As there is a deadline to enter, it is important to submit your suggestions as soon as possible. Communities in Bloom always appreciates input on this and other projects that we are in-volved in. Communities in Bloom is about making your community bloom in so many ways, please help to make it happen.

Grads ready for the worldGrads at Camp We’re Outta Here

The David Stod-dart School Grads of 2014 held their grad ceremony in the Clinton Memor-ial Hall, which was delightfully decor-ated in an outdoors/sportsman theme.

Family, friends and community members were on hand to wish them well in their fu-ture endeavours and to congratu-late them for graduating.

Two of the grads, Shyanne and Jordy plan to take a welding course at Thompson Rivers Uni-versity while Blain plans on taking a Bachelor of Arts Program, also at TRU. Kevin will be attending classes to become a Conservation Officer through Lethbridge Col-lege after winning the Extreme College Makeover. Collin has de-cided to continue working at West Fraser Mill to earn some money while he decides which direction to go in life.

It was a lovely ceremony with the grads receiving their diplomas, a photo of the five of them together

and a letter of congratulations from MLA Jackie Tegart. Following the ceremony the grads moved to Reg Conn Centennial Park for photos.

The grads finished off the day back at the hall with family and in-vited guests enjoying a barbecue dinner.

Congratulations to Shyanne Antoine, Kevin Boys, Jordy Mc-Kague, Collin Painter and Blain Pigeon.

Council MeetingThe next regular meeting of the

Village of Clinton Council is on Wednesday, June 25 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers.

Members of the public are al-ways welcome to attend.

Canada DayThe Clinton Canada Day celebration will

be held in Reg Conn Centennial Park as in past years. It promises to have events for the entire family.

It kicks off at 11 a.m. with the opening cere-mony including the flag raising, singing of O’Canada and welcome speech by Mayor Jim Rivett.

There will be free hot dogs and drinks at noon, followed by the cutting of the ‘big cake’ in honour of Canada’s 147th birthday.

At 12:30 you can treat the kids to the An-drew Twisty Performance and twisty balloons. The Gold Country Geo Cache windup is sched-uled for 2 p.m.

In addition to the Clinton Fire Department display, there will be a display honouring the 40th anniversary of BC Ambulance. Clinton Literacy will have a display and activities.

With the Seniors Yard Sale, lots of games, face painting and the Lions Club Fishing Derby there will be no shortage of things to do.

Hope to see you there.

Cricket in ClintonThe Public Works staff have been busy pre-

paring Elliott Park for a Cricket Tournament on Saturday, July 5. Watch for more information next week.

Music in the ParkThe Music in the Park series that was held

in Reg Conn Centennial Park last summer was enjoyed so much that Clinton is doing it all again.

The Spirit of Clinton Committee (that grew out of the 150/50 Committee of 2013) has been busy lining up talent and preparing to keep us all entertained.

The first FREE Music in the Park for this year will be on Saturday, July 5 beginning at 7 p.m. with The Great Plains, featuring Saskia and Darrel in the Bandshell.

Their bio asks, “What do you get when you cross a folk/roots singer-songwriter from a Dutch background with a Saskatchewan, blues-rock guitar playing Metis……sparks prob-ably!” This duo has toured extensively and per-formed with the likes of Gary Fjellgaard, Valdy and many more. And we are lucky enough to have them coming to perform in Clinton!

Bring you chairs or blankets, and bring the family for some musical fun in the park.

The Spirit of Clinton Committee is looking for local vendors who would like to set up in the park during these concerts. Any one interested can drop by the Clinton Coffee House for infor-mation.

Music in the Park returns after Canada Day

July • Week 1ARIES - Your impulsive nature is apparent this week, Aries. While this nature has often served you well, it’s still a smart move to carefully consider all angles before making any big decisions.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, the goal this week is to � nd a happy medium where you can help others but remain true to yourself. It may take a little juggling, but you can handle it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, although you are initially willing to go along with the group’s plans, in the long run you want to set off in your own direction. A few stragglers may join you.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, professional obligations may prevent you from spending time with loved ones, but only if you let them. Let higher-ups know where your priorities lie.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, share your emotions with a friend, especially if the friendship does not seem to be going in the direction you had hoped. Keep the lines of communication open at all times.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Take the high road, Libra. Leading by example has always been your forte, and taking the high road now is a great example to set for those around you.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It can be quite dif� cult to keep your cool when you are feeling emotional, Scorpio. Channel any nervous energy you have into a productive project this week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are on a quest for a deep connection. You will not be content with mere friendship, but desire something that is more intimate and meaningful

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 You are in high demand this week, Capricorn. You have the ability to get things done when others struggle with similar tasks. Keep up the good work.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you just may � nd yourself on shaky ground while juggling multiple responsibilities this week. Don’t let the stress of this juggling act get the better of you.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you � nd yourself face-to-face with your biggest fears this week. Draw on your inner strength and you will conquer any obstacle.

ON A BRIGHTER

NOTE

Bursting the boredom bubbleYears before I was a

mother, my husband and I babysat our young niece and neph-ew for the weekend. We were living in Van-couver and wanted to show them a good time so we took them to res-taurants for meals, ice cream parlours for des-serts, and costly tourist attractions for enter-tainment. We also took them to the arcade and the movies.

After two days of running around town, emptying my pock-etbook and trying to keep up with the two Energizer bunnies, I felt exhausted and wondered if I would ever be ready to be a parent. And then I heard two words I felt con� rmed the answer was no: “I’m bored,” the older one sighed loudly.

I was shocked as I heard the younger one

agree: “Me too.”I couldn’t believe it.

We’d been having a blast and I couldn’t imagine what more we could have done to entertain these young-sters.

“Only boring people get bored,” I respond-ed.

I don’t think they un-derstood what I meant by that, but it was something my mom said to me when I was a kid, and it always stuck.

It seemed to work on them as well. At least

temporarily. Our next activity was blowing bubbles, and though it was far less expen-sive and much simpler than anything else we’d done, the kids seemed to have the most fun with it.

The next day, after they’d gone home, I told my friend about the experience and my concern that I’d never have enough energy to be a mother. She laughed and said it’s different when the kids are your own. She was right.

I have two children now. Sam and Daisy are turning 14 and 11 this summer, and while I’ve treated them to things like I did with my nephew and niece, the bulk of their enter-tainment is left up to them, just like it was left up to me when I was a kid.

With school break-ing for the summer, it’s a good time to re-mind myself of that. I want to hang out and make memories with them, but they have a lot more vacation time than I do.

And if they run out of ideas of things to do, a reminder of inex-pensive activities could be helpful to them, so I made a list and at-tached it to the fridge. Part of it I got from suggestions I found when I searched the internet, and part of it was from a brain-

storming session with Sam and Daisy.

We had fun compiling the list and came up with some great ideas on what we could do together – with friends and family as well.

Most of my best memories as a kid weren’t from the pricey vacations, but from simple pleasures that didn’t cost much at all. Playing games, riding bikes, running through sprinklers, throwing water balloons, skip-

ping rope, tenting in the back yard – the possibilities seemed endless.

Solo pursuits were enjoyable as well. My kids tend to turn to electronics such as the computer, phone or television when they’re on their own, so we made a separate list of solitary activities that don’t involve technol-ogy, things that kids from the old days used to do.

While Sam and Daisy

can easily amuse them-selves with the digital world, I want them to appreciate the simple, pure fun of life that surrounds them. Just like I did in the olden days, so far back, the kids tease that I trav-eled by wagon.

Well, some us did travel by wagon I guess. The station wagon was one sweet ride.

BC SPCA WARNS ABOUT “HOT DOGS”With summer here, the BC SPCA is reminding the public about the

hazards of leaving dogs unattended in parked cars. Hundreds of dogs die needlessly in this way each year. In minutes the temperature in a parked car can reach well over thirty-eight degrees Celsius. Dogs

can withstand these temperatures for only about ten minutes before suffering irreparable brain damage or death. For more information,

Alec, cherished husband of 65 years to Vi Turner of Salmo, BC, died Saturday, June 7th at 90 years of age in Ashcroft, BC. He was born in Kieghley, Yorkshire, England, and immigrated to Canada in 1929 at age � ve with his parents. Alec grew up in Rossland BC.

In 1941, at age 17, Alec left school and voluntarily enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy with the rank of Boy Seaman. He is remembered on Rossland’s St. George’s Church roll of those “who have volunteered for active service with Canada’s Fighting Forces.” He was trained as a Telegrapher and saw duty in the Fisherman’s Reserve patrolling the west coast on the: BC Lady, St Thomas and Nitinat. On November 29, 1944 Alec was assigned to the HMCS Gatineau in the Battle of the Atlantic. The ship participated in the “D Day” operations of June 6, 1944 that began the Battle of Normandy. After V - J Day Alec saw duty on the River Class frigate the HMCS Grou. From December 1945 through July 1947 he was assigned to the HMCS Uganda. She was the � rst Canadian Naval vessel to sail on a goodwill tour after the end of WWII. Uganda departed Esquimalt February 1946 circum- navigating South America and returning to home port May 1946. Alec’s Navy engagement expired March 8, 1949. During his duty in the Royal Canadian Navy he was awarded: The Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, The 1939-1945 Star, The France & Germany Star, and The 1945 War Medal.

Alec married Violet Florence Chesney in December of 1948. Their daughters were born in 1949, 1952 and 1954, respectively. Alec and his family lived in Nelway, BC from 1955 to 1966 when they moved to Salmo.

In 1952 Alec joined the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 14 at Rossland, BC. His lifetime activities were at Branch 217, Salmo, BC. He served in a number of capacities on the local Legion Executive and assumed Zone commander West Kootenay. Alec was instrumental in leading a negotiation and administration team to establish the Independent Living Quarters in his community of Salmo, BC. He was recognized as a Life Time Member of the Royal Canadian Legion in 1981. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 217, Salmo awarded Alec a Certi� cate of Merit in 1983 in recognition of “years of Exemplary, outstanding and consistent work for the Legion.” On May 2, 2004 RCSCC, Hampton Gray VC invited Alec to attend to the Laying of the Wreath during the Battle of the Atlantic Commemorative Service at Nelson, BC.

Alec’s service to his country extended beyond his Navy enlistment and Legion membership. He saw a 32 year career in the federal Public Service as a Customs Of� cer that extended from 1949 to 1981. He worked primarily at the Port of Nelway, BC; but, he had also been posted in Patterson, and Waneta in the West Kootenay, as well as Roosville, BC in the East Kootenay. In 1967, the Government of Canada recognized Alec’s contributions to his country by awarding him a Centennial Medal for “valuable service to the nation.”

Alec was also a committed community member. He helped build the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 217 facility in Salmo, BC, was a member of the Salmo Golf Port, as it was known, and helped build the course’s clubhouse. He was much loved and recognized for his cartoons of local golfers that were featured on the walls of the golf club’s 19th hole. Alec was an active work crew member that created the volunteer operated Salmo Ski Hill on Brushy Mountain. He was a member of the Salmo Volunteer Fire Department.

Alec was an avid sportsman. The winters’ of his youth were spent skiing Red Mountain, the summers’ caddying at the Rossland Golf Course. As an adult he could reliably be found on the Salmo Ski Hill or the golf course. In later years Alec and Vi spent winters on the Big Island of Hawaii.

He is remembered as an honorable, modest, and dutiful man with an exceedingly dry wit who was “always a gentleman.” Alec will be lovingly celebrated and missed by his wife Vi, three daughters Danita (Greg) of Ashcroft, Dawn (Grant) of Surrey, Diane (Eric) of Pahoa, Hawaii, three grandchildren Darcy (Yona), Lauren and Matthew and great grandson Makana.

Boil water advisoryHas been a bit of a drag. I’ve

been drinking a lot more bottled water than usual. I hate all that plastic. But when the river rises and so much that shouldn’t be in it comes with the spring flooding, I guess we should be grateful that authorities are keeping an eye on our health. We had another water shut off on Elm Street earlier in the week. What a bother that is! Now there is a great deep hole on Elm Street, which everyone no doubt hopes will be filled soon. And we can get back to normal. Whatever your normal is!

PostersLet’s talk about posters. For

some years, WORMS were the rage on poles near the highways. I never saw so many worm posters in my life. Everybody in God’s Green Acres from Barkerville to Ashcroft seemed to be selling worms. Those lowly creatures you turn over with spade in the garden.

Now this is the time of year when posters blossom all over the town. They begin to bloom in May and finally end at the end of this month. The posters come in col-ours that can’t be missed. Bright orange, yellow, green, blue. No-body looks at a white poster these days. The computer variety posters

look very tidy and all that. But they just don’t carry like the homemade black marking ones that seem to add a little more rustic to our bu-colic patch on the mighty majestic Thompson. By the way, the river in full flood this year was pretty spec-tacular as it didn’t creep up this year as usual, but literally swept up with a surge and covered the black rocks of its previous many years markings.

But back to Posters again, - I am re-reading some of the books from my library, - the ones I chose to save from the Yard sales. Yard Sales are, of course, the most prominent posters in town, and though the printing of them isn’t always inspired, nor is the text, which is pretty basic, you’d think, after all these years, they would sport a little more humour, a little more graphic art that would hold the eye. We don’t expect great art from posters, like they did back in the 1890’s and even before that. Posters were so good in those days, we hang prints of them on our walls today. Art Nouveau, used the female figure over and over again (suitably clothed). The male head and body was also a frame for a product. The line and the color ad-vertising everything from cigars to wars. No, we don’t see posters like that any more. They were Art.

Art in the simplest of places

“Being the product manager in charge of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, isn’t always easy. But that challenge is probably what I like most about my job. We built a V8 engine that’s as fuel efficient as some V6s. People didn’t think that could be done, we did it. I’m proud of that.”
