Family loses all

Piggy bank stolen

Start of the market seasonTop: Brandi Macarthur and daughter Luna look over the tables at the Spences Bridge Farmer and Flea Market in Clemes Hall while vendor Jeannette Renz (left) watches. Bottom: The weather was less than co-operative in Cache Creek as local growers brought flowers and vegetables to a cold and windy market last Saturday. But it didn’t stop people from coming or from buying.

A Thompson River Estates family was ec-pecting to move, but they weren’t expecting to lose everthing they owned.

On Apr. 30 at 7 pm police attended a house fire at Thompson River Estates. The family rent-ing the house was out at the time, having supper. They were getting ready to move to Kamloops and had packed and left all of their possessions inside the house, which burned to the ground.

It is unknown how the fire started, but it is believed to be accidental. Friends of the family are organizing fundraisers to replace their lost possessions.

A baby’s stolen piggy bank prompted the mother to phone 911 this week after the thief threatened her when she tried to stop him.

On May 4 at 9:30 pm police received an abandoned 911 call. The originating cell phone “pinged” to the Mclean Cres. area of Cache Creek so officers checked the vehicles parked in that area and found one that was registered to the owner of the phone. The woman observed them through the front window and came out to talk to them.

The 23 year old woman said her 25 year old boyfriend stole her son’s piggy bank and left. He threatened her when she tried to stop him and that’s when she called 911. He is believed to be in the Kamloops area. Police are still look-ing for him.

The preliminary drawings for the Maclean Cres. reconstruction in Cache Creek are ready to be viewed by the residents, when Council is ready, said project manager for McElhanney Consulting, Pam Astbury.

The drawings will include barrier (square) curbs, streetlights, new water services to the property line and a sidewalk, but it hasn’t been decided which side of the street it will go on.

Once the residents give their feedback on the drawings, final drawings will be made, with costs, and the Village will let the job go out to tender.

Astbury suggested that a clause in the final contract be included on poor soil that needs to be replaced so that the Village doesn’t have to pay for it, as it did with th Maclean Dr. project.

Concerns grow over price of WTE power

Surrey North Delta LeaderThere’s growing trepidation among Metro

Vancouver politicians that BC Hydro may not pay as much as the regional district has assumed for electricity from a future new garbage incin-erator.

The plan to burn more garbage to gener-ate power and stop dumping waste near Cache Creek has been under fire from critics, who say Metro is wrong to assume in its updated busi-ness case that garbage will qualify as a clean, renewable power source worth $100 per mega-watt hour – four times higher than market prices for conventional electricity.

An April 30 letter from BC Hydro energy planning vice-president Doug Little cautions Metro that Hydro has made no commitment to buy power from a new plant but is willing to ex-plore the potential value of the electricity.

“The energy prices that have been quoted by Metro Vancouver are not necessarily for com-parable product under comparable supply/de-mand conditions,” his letter said.

Little said new waste-to-energy power doesn’t qualify under existing purchase pro-grams and wasn’t part of Hydro’s base resource plan for securing new power sources.

Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer called the letter “concerning.”

The Metro board voted Friday to accept the updated business case for the region’s planned waste-to-energy expansion, but they also want staff to gather more information.

The board wants an analysis of the waste-to-energy and landfill technology options based on various Hydro purchase prices and other fac-tors, such as the cost of shipping garbage to a new site in or out of the region.

Directors also want to know what impact the same options would have on efforts to recycle more, as well as the greenhouse gas emissions from both landfilling unrecyclable garbage or using any of three short-listed waste-to-energy technologies.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan warned Reimer and others against backsliding on Met-ro’s 2009 decision to pursue expanded waste-to-

VICTORIA - Thirty-two British Columbians were honoured on Apr. 29 at the eleventh annual British Colum-bia Community Achievement Awards’ ceremony held at Government House in Victoria.

Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC, Lieutenant Governor of British Col-umbia and Honourable Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cul-tural Development presented each re-cipient with a BC Community Achieve-ment Award medallion and certificate. Keith Mitchell, QC represented the British Columbia Achievement Foun-dation.

Loon Lake’s Ethel Smith was at the ceremony to receive her award.

“Ethel’s Smith’s award is a tan-gible thank you from the people of Loon Lake, a small Cariboo commun-ity,” it was read as she was introduced. “For 38 years, Ethel Smith voluntarily operated a first aid post at Loon Lake. She aided hundreds and hundreds of people, permanent and summer resi-dents, tourists and guests. Whether it was an embedded fish hook, or a sus-pected heart attack, or care when some-one was discharged from hospital, Eth-el treated them all. It was comforting to know, given that Loon Lake is locat-

ed about an hour’s drive from the nearest emergency room in Ashcroft, that Ethel was there with her first aid kit and train-ing if any medical or first aid situation arose. For her gener-ous devotion to the well-being and health of her community, we honour Ethel today.”

“It is a privilege to acknow-ledge the efforts of these in-dividuals who work for the betterment of our commun-ities and our entire province,” said Minister Oakes. “Today’s recipients, whose ages range from 18 to 102, are examples of the best of British Colum-bians.”

“Today’s honourees give the most valuable of life’s com-modities, time and energy,” said Mitchell. “They do what-ever needs to get done – from sitting on boards and commit-tees to far exceeding their job descriptions to sharing their talents of organizing, fundrais-ing, innovating and mentoring.

The recipients of this year’s

awards are: Selen Alpay of Prince George,

Cathy Ashurst of Burns Lake, Am-rik Singh Aulakh of Surrey, Donald Brown of Victoria, Helen Clifton of Hartley Bay, Lynnette Cobb of Wil-liams Lake, John D’Eathe of West Van-couver, Allan De Genova of Vancou-ver, Judy Dix of Prince George, Wayne Duzita of Richmond, Michael Feller of Richmond, Keith Gibson of Tofino, Afraj Gill of Surrey, Daphne Goode of Victoria, Deanna Hamilton of Kelow-na, Jill Hayward of Louis Creek, Carol Hunt of North Cowichan, Valerie In-gram of Southbank, Bonnie Leadbeat-er of Victoria, Bessie Lee of Vancouver, Morgan Leung of Delta, Larry Leung of Burnaby and Jason Min of Delta, Tom Lymbery of Gray Creek, Michael McCoy of Richmond, James McEwen of Vancouver, Ethel Smith of Loon Lake, Marilin States of Creston, Fred Titcomb of West Vancouver, Germain Vigneault of Port Clements, Pat Wahl-strom of Quesnel, and Miriam Yu of Vancouver.

An independent advisory coun-cil selects the recipients of the Brit-ish Columbia Community Achieve-ment Awards from nominations re-ceived in the Fall, 2013. The council members are Mayor Stephanie Killam of the District of Mackenzie, Mayor Mary Sjostrom of the City of Quesnel, and past recipients, Maggie Ip of Van-couver, Alan Markwart of Victoria and Don Shumka of Vancouver.

The British Columbia Achievement Foundation is an independent founda-tion established and endowed by the province of B.C. to celebrate excel-lence in the arts, humanities, enterprise and community service. The awards were launched in 2003.

B.C.VIEWS

SPRING RUNOFF creates fast flowing high water in Cache Creek and other water routes

VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment has rolled out its ambi-tious overhaul of the public edu-cation system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establish-ment.

The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-en-gineering Education and Train-ing. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end.

Elementary and middle school curriculum is being re-vised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are get-ting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-per-forming programs that don’t lead to jobs.

Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20% of B.C. students, and nearly half of aborigin-al students, don’t finish high school.

“Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training pro-gram,” said Clark, who had her own wander through univer-sity campuses before going into politics.

A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University presi-dent Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry.

“We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of bat-tle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour de-mand forecasts.

One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica

McDonald, who shook up the pub-lic service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister.

Her report on trades training con-firms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess.

“Certain partners, particularly or-ganized labour, feel marginalized,” McDonald wrote. “Others, particular-ly employers and employers’ associa-tions, do not feel heard within the sys-

tem. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regulation of trades and modular train-ing that have caused strain because they were not fully inclu-sive during development, were seen to benefit single inter-ests, and they impacted the whole system.”

The ITA board is being replaced, with union representa-tion restored, and advisory councils from industrial employ-ers will update their hiring needs.

The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescu-ing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations.

Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them.

Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education.

It’s about time.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for

Black Press.

Every summer brings bad news for a few unfortunate BC residents who have up close and personal encounters with our abundant - and dangerous - wild inhabit-ants.

Bears and cougars are becoming more active; coyotes and racoons have been on the prowl all year round here and are being seen more often in town. The camping sea-son is almost upon us and parks are a great place to see wildlife.

It’s important that you know what to do when you encounter wildlife such as bears, cougars, coyotes and wolves in urban areas BEFORE you find yourself face to face with them.

Do not provide food to wildlife. Re-main calm and never approach the animal. Always keep the animal in front of you (never turn your back) and back away slow-ly (never run). Keep children and pets close or pick them up. If possible, bring children and pets indoors.

If the animal appears interested in you or approaches:

Make yourself look as large as pos-sible by waving your arms above your head. Make loud noises, shout at the ani-mal in a loud, aggressive voice or bang pots and pans and throw objects like rocks and sticks.

Under the Wildlife Act, conservation of-ficers can issue a $230 ticket or notice for a court appearance to residents who do not secure attractants. Residents who leave out items that attract dangerous wildlife could also be issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protec-tion Order. Failure to comply with an order carries a $575 fine.

Relocating wildlife is neither viable nor a long-term solution to managing these kinds of conflicts. When wildlife is relocat-ed, it most often returns to conflict situa-tions, or it does not survive as it has to com-pete with already established populations.

In 2013-14, the Conservation Officer Service received 28,063 calls regarding human-wildlife conflicts. Of those calls, 16,180 involved human-bear conflicts.

A little awareness goes a long way in preventing wildlife interactions that result in injury or death.

Toy Lending Libraries at Gold Trail schoolsThe mission of the Gold

Trail Board of Education is to create a dynamic and sup-portive learning community that inspires and enables all students to achieve their po-tential.

Part of the Board’s work is to support the young-est members of our com-munities, those under six years old. For the last sever-al years, schools have been supporting families and these young learners through programs such as Strong-Start, PALS (Parents as Lit-eracy Supporters) and Ready Set Learn.

The Board recogniz-

es one of the ways to cre-ate a dynamic and support-ive learning environment for young children is for play based activities that support each child’s development. To support this, Ashcroft Elementary, Cache Creek Elementary, David Stoddart, Sk’il’ Mountain Commun-ity, George M Murray Ele-mentary, Cay-oosh Elemen-tary, and Lytton Elementary Schools have a Toy Lend-ing Library. Each Toy Lend-ing Library has

backpacks with an age ap-propriate toy, puzzle and book for the following ages: birth to one year; one to two years; two to three years; three to five years; and, five to six years.

Chair Carmen Ranta comments, “We welcome caregivers to pick up a back-pack from their local school,

take it home for their chil-dren to enjoy and return it when they are done and pick up another one. The Board sees The Toy Lending Li-brary as an exciting way for families to continually bring new toys and activities into their home that support their child’s learning.”

energy, particular-ly after substantial

amounts have been spent and pro-ponents have spent much time and money in the multi-stage bidding process.

He also insisted a decision to proceed with waste-to-energy should not depend on its econom-ics beating out a landfill alterna-tive.

“We made a decison regard-less that we were getting out of landfilling,” Corrigan said. “Power is not the purpose of this facility. We’re building it because we want to stop waste going to landfills. Electricity is a byproduct.”

He said “everybody knows” that not all waste can be recycled, so opponents of waste-to-energy in effect support landfilling – burying the problem in the ground for fu-ture generations.

“Be realistic, it’s going to land-fill,” Corrigan said. “The price is not being paid in carbon dioxide by you now, but over a thousand years.”

The regional district hasn’t dis-closed exactly what price it needs from Hydro for the project to re-main viable.

Capital costs of a new inciner-ator are estimated at $424 to $517

million, depending on whether it’s built to burn 250,000 or 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year.

The larger size is needed if Metro only manages to recycle 70 per cent of its waste, up from 58 per cent now, while the smaller size may be enough if recycling rates hit 80 per cent.

Fraser Valley Regional District politicians, who oppose a new in-cinerator, said they’re taking the Hydro response as a sign the prov-ince won’t force other power users to subsidize Metro by allowing a premium price needed to make a new plant viable.

“Not only has Metro Vancou-ver clearly overestimated the dol-lar value that it can secure from BC Hydro to bolster its flawed busi-ness case, but they have also rou-tinely played down the health im-plications associated with burning garbage,” said FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz.

Metro staff say there’s ample time to gather more information.

The region intends to short-list proponents and potential sites ahead of issuing a final request for proposals in mid-2015.

The winning bidder would be picked by mid-2016 and the new plant would open in 2019.

Satisfaction comes from finishing an event

(Left) The Coach Trill team from small towns participated in Boogie the Bridge on Apr. 26 in Kamloops. Forty-six strong! Even more runners came from Clinton.

Movement is Change, as Jo Berry says, and that is exactly what is happening all over the place.

The RunClub move-ment has really taken off in our small towns. In March, RunClub began in Ashcroft/Cache Creek with an enthusi-astic and dedicated group of people. Each week the club did intervals of running and walking. RunClubbers did their “play-work” twice a week and then on Satur-day mornings did their run/walk inter-vals with their RunClub friends.

After eight weeks of practice hav-ing fun with run, 46 people from our small towns teamed up to run Boog-ie the Bridge in Kamloops on Apr. 27. Not only did Ashcroft and Cache Creek bring 46 runners to Boogie, but the even smaller town of Clinton brought an astounding 60 people to run! Way to go small towns!We are taking the “small” out of “small town” and we are showing everyone what wellness real-ly is!

Many of those who have joined the running movement have said, “I’m not

a runner” but as the practice continues, they realize, “I run, therefore I am a runner!” It doesn’t matter the speed at which you go, it’s just that you go!

Moving and finishing happy was the goal at the Boogie. Some runners did 5 km, some 10 km and others ran 21 km, but all ran happy! For many of the team, this was their first running event and everyone finished and had fun. It’s hard not to have fun when you hear musicians playing music at every kilometre, when random strangers are cheering for you, and fellow runners prod you forward. The energy of it all feels like it pushes you to the finish line!

On June 1 the Lions host their an-nual charity run, Skip’s Run on the Riv-

er event right here in Ashcroft. You can register today to run or walk 2.5 km, 5 km or 10 km. Pick up your registra-tion form at any of our schools or at the Ashcroft Bakery. Register before May 15 and get the early bird price! All funds go back into our communities. If you haven’t done a running event before, this is your opportunity! Get your friends and family together and walk, run or run/walk and experience the move-ment of run-ning!

For more information on Skip’s Run or how to get started today, contact Coach Trill at [email protected] or 250 457-7038.

DRINKING WATER WEEK

Take the Challenge...

Our water – Why do we need to protect it? Why should we care?

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out...

Do you ever stop to think about how it gets there and where it goes when you’re finished with it? BC Water & Waste Association and the Province of BC have proclaimed Drinking Water Week from May 4 - 10, 2014. We invite you to celebrate this exciting week by taking time to learn more about your water and how you can protect and conserve it.

Here in BC we often take our drinking water for granted, but it’s a finite resource - there is no such thing as ‘new’ water! Although the expenses may not be apparent, significant costs and energy are required to treat our drinking water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain. The demand for water is also increasing due to population growth, industry needs and climate change.

Our water in BC is of the highest quality - let’s cel-ebrate it!

British Columbia’s natural resources combined with its dedicated water and waste-water professionals allow us to enjoy high quality drink-ing water that is clean and safe.

To help raise awareness of our water, our water systems, and the many people who make it accessible for us, we have created a variety of educational activities and resources. We invite you to use these resources and pass them along to others. Many communities will also be holding tours of their local watersheds and treatment plants, and we encourage you to take the time to visit them. During Drinking Water Week 2014, we challenge you to ‘Get to Know Your H2O!’

For more water wise tips and ‘Did You Knows’, and to download educational activities for your home or classroom,visit www.drinkingwaterweek.org.

facebook.com/drinkingwaterweek @drinkingwaterwk

Be Water Wise:□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day.□ I will install a water ef� cient � xture or appliance in my home.□ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can).□ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity.□ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.

Did You Know?

• The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* • 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.*• Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%. *RBC 2013 Canadian Water Attitudes Study.

ANSWERS: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn. *Environment Canada, 2011.

True and False: Test your water knowledge – take the quiz! 1. British Columbians use more water than other Canadians. T__ F__

2. A toilet that continues to run after � ushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year. T__ F__

3. The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week. T__ F__

Street banners unveiledA vivid dis-

play of colourful, newly painted ban-ners brightened up an otherwise cool and windy morning in Heritage Park in Ashcroft. The ban-ners were painted in a two day work-shop held in March and are to replace the street banners on Railway Av-enue.

Under the guid-ance of local artist Jo Petty, and with a financial contri-bution from the United Way, local citizens of all ages came together and created 12 double-sided banners. The bright, colorful and creatively painted banners will be installed on the poles in the next two to three weeks.

The “Banner Unveiling Cele-bration” held in Heritage Park last Saturday, saw most of the ban-

ner painters in attendance as well as representatives from United Way, Communities in Bloom, Ash-croft Village Council and our lo-cal MLA, Jackie Tegart. Attendees chatted together and cake and juice was enjoyed by all.

Andrea Walker

Ashcroft Communities in Bloom celebrated the new street banners it had made with a grand unveiling last Saturday. With cake! The banner project was completed with the assistance of artist Jo Petty and a grant from the United Way.

Paramedics awarded special pinsSpecial Delivery

It has been said that a baby waits for no one. That was certainly the case when Kate Isa-bell Vallee made her entrance into the world, two weeks early.

On a very snowy March 6 the call went in to the Clinton Station of BC Ambulance for a woman in labour. Paramedics Melanie Painter and Jennifer Clarke responded only to find that labour was quite far along. In fact they delivered little 6 pound, 11 ounce Kate in the ambulance in the parents’ driveway at 12 minutes af-ter three.

Once baby arrived and mom, Roxanne Vallee was stabilized, they were trans-ported to the 100 Mile House Hospital along with proud Papa Louis Vallee. All are doing well. Congratu-lations to parents, Roxan-ne and Louis and big sister, four and a half year old Julie on the arrival of the newest member of their family.

Grandma Helen had just flown into Kamloops from Quebec at 3 p.m. the after-

noon she was born, ex-pecting to have two more weeks to prepare for her granddaughter’s birth. The timing of Kate’s arrival came as a surprise to them all.

Stork AwardThe delivery of Kate Val-

lee was a first for Paramed-ics Melanie Painter and Jen-nifer Clarke. It was also the first delivery in the Clinton Ambulance since November of 1989.

On behalf of BC Ambu-lance Service, Clinton Unit Chief Chris Guerin pre-sented both paramedics with a Stork Award Recognition along with a pink stork pin to recognize a special event that does not happen very often. Both paramedics can wear this special pin on their uniforms.

Congratulations to the paramedics for a special de-

livery and to the family involved.

Volunteer Appreciation

The Spirit of Clinton Com-mittee (former-ly known as the 150/50 Commit-tee) hosted a re-

ception on May 3 to hon-our the volunteers who help make Clinton a better place to live, work and play.

While a slide show of photos from many of the events of 2013 played, May-or Jim Rivett and Council-lor Diana Guerin thanked the volunteers for the many events that took place last year and for the continued support of events over the years.

Attendees were treat-ed to a lovely selection of goodies prepared by the Le-gion Ladies Auxiliary. There were door prizes for most of those attending and a time to reminisce about the events and leg-acy of the anniver-sary year

that was.Most of the organizations

in Clinton are still looking for more volunteers. Anyone interested in joining any of the local groups can drop by the Village Office for a list of organizations and contact names. New members bring new ideas and help keep the community vibrant.

STRIKING A BALANCE

May • Week 8ARIES - No matter how challenging it may be, slow down and give yourself time to re� ect, Aries. You’re always on the go, but it’s important to slow down every now and then.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, steer clear of added responsibilities this week, as you already have enough on your plate. Some alone time might be worth its weight in gold.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You’re not easily overwhelmed by intense people or things, Gemini. Use this resilience to sail through a particularly challenging task that gets sent your way this week.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 There is no need to � gure out all of the answers in the next few days, Cancer. If something is on your mind, then take your time to weigh all of your options.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 It could be challenging to be playful and lighthearted this week, Leo. Take every situation seriously and give ample thought to each and every decision you must make.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Make the best of a delicate situation at work, Virgo. Although you may not be ready for more responsibility, your reaction will be noticed by your bosses.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, hold tight to your beliefs this week and don’t let anyone sway your opinion. You will serve as an example to others who bend whichever way the wind blows.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may not have all of the solutions, but rest assured that you have been moving in the right direction. An interesting conversation illuminates the situation.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You have gained a new sense of purpose, Sagittarius, and you’re ready to put some of your plan into action. Expect a few raised eyebrows, but most people will be receptive.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you are ready for a well-deserved vacation or retreat. But you cannot run away from your responsibilities this week. Just hold out a little longer.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Your � nances seem to be a constant source of aggravation, Aquarius. This week you are ready to take care of business and hammer out a foolproof budget.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your energy level will be quite high, making it vital for you to do something productive before your stamina slows down.

The proof is in the picture

ON A BRIGHTER

NOTE

When you live alone and walk out the doors of your freshly cleaned house, chances are it’s going to look exactly the same once you re-turn home. When you live with other people, particularly those like mine, all you can do is make requests and hope for the best.Once in awhile I’m

pleasantly surprised after one of my clean-ing sprees that the house remains neat and tidy for hours after the invasion of my children and their friends. Last Friday was not one of those times.Instead of walking

upstairs to the orderly home I had left be-hind, I instead found a couple of chairs on top of the dining room table, another one ly-ing on the floor, and

the rest were pressed up against the wall. Large gymnastic mats were strewn all over the place, garbage and dirty dishes were ev-erywhere, and the one and only indoor plant I have ever managed to keep alive for two full years was, tragically, lying on the floor in a pile of dirt, broken into several pieces.“Sam!” I yelled, since

I knew my 10-year-old daughter had already been picked up for her sleepover at a friend’s house. “Get up here!”My 13-year-old son

bounded up the stairs to see what was wrong.“How did it get like

this?” I asked. “It looks like a bomb went off in here.”“I have no idea,” he

said, looking around, perplexed. “It wasn’t me.”

I reminded him of my parting words when I told him, his sister and their friends that I had just cleaned the house and wanted to keep it that way, and to put their dirty dishes in the dishwasher and their garbage in the garbage can. His reply had been “Yes, Mom. And we’ll put the recycling in the recycling too.” They did none of that.He helped me clean

the chaos, and as he did he let me know that the empty Dairy Queen Blizzard cups and ce-real bowls weren’t his or his friend’s. Obvi-ously his little sister and her pals were the guilty culprits.But when Daisy re-

turned home from her sleepover the following morning I questioned her about the incident, and she blamed her brother.“Sam made

that mess, not me,” she said.Normally I

wouldn’t have known who to believe, but this time the girl child had s o m e t h i n g the boy child didn’t have: photographic evidence.Handing me

her iPad, she showed me a snapshot of her brother

perched on the large gymnastics mats he had stacked on top of the backs of the dining room chairs that were all lined up in a row. Precariously sitting on top of the rubber mats with him was our little dog, Charlie.“Oh, yeah,” he said

laughing at the picture after I showed it to him. “We built a train for the dogs. They loved it.”When I asked why

he didn’t tell me that in the first place he didn’t seem to connect the creative structure he had built with the disarray he had left be-hind.“It wasn’t that messy,

Mom,” he insisted. “It just looked that way.” That statement didn’t

really make sense, but

at the same time, it kind of did. My own temporary clutter nev-er looks or feels as bad to me as theirs does.And I fully recognize

that not everyone’s a neat freak. Some peo-ple are naturally more comfortable living in a disaster zone no mat-ter who made it that way, and they’re not irritated by it like I am. There have even been

studies published that suggest some minds think more clearly and creatively in a disor-derly environment. Those are the types of people that I live with, and as messy as they are, I wouldn’t have it any other way.Lori Welbourne is a

It is with great sadness that the family of Michael Cobbe announce his passing on April 26th, 2014. He is survived by his wife Sheila, his son Andrew (Kim), his daughter Sara (Kerry), his grandchildren Emmaleen Penelope and Jack Michael and was loved by all.

Michael was born in Middlesborough, England on June 29th, 1935 and he is predeceased by his father Hugh, his mother Anne and his sister Patricia.

Michael and Sheila immigrated to Canada in 1967. One of his happiest times was spent managing the Bar Q Guest Ranch (now the Sundance Guest Ranch) in the 70’s and 80’s. They went on to manage other resorts and also had their own restaurant in the great community of Spences Bridge, where wonderful friendships still prevail to this day. In his retirement years he was on the Board of Directors of Community Futures Sun Country and served as a Board member of Hat Creek Ranch.

Michael was a gentleman and loved a good conversation about everything from music to English Football. He is still a true Middlesborough United fan.

As we say goodbye, in the words of the great Sinatra, “I did it my way”.

Condolences may be sent to [email protected]. A celebration of Michaels life will take place on Saturday, May 10th, 2014 at 2 pm in the Spences Bridge Community Hall.

Downtown planters prepared

Communities in Bloom will be planting flowers in the downtown barrels, the planters at the historic firehall, planters at the Community Hall and in front of the Village Office on May 14.

Thank you once again to the firemen who water all the barrels the night before during their fire practice. This ensures that the soil is nice and moist and gives the little plants a great start.

It then becomes the responsibility of the business owners to make sure that the barrels are watered and looked after. These barrels add such a nice colourful display to our downtown area.

If anyone would like to lend us a hand in the planting they can meet in front of the Ashcroft Bakery at 6:30 on May 14. Bring your garden gloves and a small trowel.

Planting seasonAshcroft Communities in Bloom held their annual Plant Swap two weeks ago. It was attended by an appreciative gardening crowd who took home lots of great flowers and shrubs to plant. Above, Dave Gory jokes with Fred Gerwein; Right, Marcie Down balances her plants and purse.

GOLDEN COUNTRYBARBARA RODEN

The Ghost of Bonaparte HouseI should tell you at the outset that this is not about

an actual ghost, the sort that is said to lurk in old buildings. Rather, this is about the ghost of a building itself, which might yet lurk in an unlikely place. But I am getting ahead of myself. . . .

Before 1862, the road north to the gold� elds was little more than a rough track, carved out by the feet of thousands of men who had made the long trek to-wards the prospect of rich-es. The Colonial government, however, was anxious to ensure that movement to and from the gold� elds was as easy as pos-sible, so in 1862 work began on the Cariboo Wagon Road, which also attracted those who had no interest in gold mining. Their interest was in the men who moiled for gold, and who would need food, drink, and lodging as they pursued their dreams.

Thus it was that roadhouses soon sprang up along the newly established route. They were rough struc-tures, for the most part, promising little more than the most basic comforts; but for men who carried every-thing they owned upon their backs, they were a wel-come sight indeed. One roadhouse near Loon Lake prompted a patron to write, “Whilst staying here we were very crowded, as the small building was � lled with miners by day and night, sleeping under the table and benches as well as on top of them, and all over the � oor.”

The bar for roadhouses - and their operators - was therefore set rather low; as long as you could offer the bare necessities demanded by weary men, you could operate a viable business. In 1862 James Orr decided to build a roadhouse alongside the new route, about a half-mile south of what is known as Rattlesnake Hill, between Ashcroft Manor and Cache Creek. The ex-act location of Wayside House, as the enterprise was called, is dif� cult to ascertain now, as all traces of it have vanished; but a photograph in the B.C. Archives shows it to have been situated in the area to the east of Hwy 1 now occupied by Wastech.

Precisely why Orr chose that site for his road-house is unclear, for then as now the location was a rocky and barren stretch of land, far from water or

trees. He operated Wayside House for three years, then sold it, in 1865, to Charles Semlin and Philip Parke, who must have thought that the busi-

ness had potential. We know, from a reference by traveler J.B. Leigh-ton, that Wayside House was still on its original site in June 1865, for he wrote that at that time there was no stopping place, or sign of one, at what was to become the business’s new home. In the baking heat of an Interior summer, how-ever, it must have been an easy matter for Sem-lin and Parke to decide that their roadhouse might do even bet-ter if was situated in a more welcoming

spot. It was clear that something needed to be done.That “something” involved moving Wayside

House to a new location. They settled on a spot slightly further north, on a grassy piece of land near the Bonaparte River at the foot of Rattlesnake Hill. The entire building was moved to the new site, and the enterprise was rechristened Bonaparte House. An 1866 photo, taken from Rattlesnake Hill, shows the “new” roadhouse, with two tandem freight wagons making their way down the Cariboo Road towards it. The absence of contemporary landmarks makes it dif� cult to say exactly where it was, although it ap-pears to be located at or near where the entrance to the Sage and Sands Trailer Park is today.

The enterprising partners soon added stables for the B.X. Express Co., a blacksmith shop, a telegraph of� ce, and a general store to the property, ensuring that Bonaparte House remained a bustling business catering to the throngs still heading north to the gold-� elds, and the stagecoaches that moved freight and supplies through the area. In 1868 Parke sold his share of the business to William “Boston” Sanford (after whom Boston Flats is named), and in 1869 Semlin sold out to James Campbell. The roadhouse was renamed yet again, becoming “Cache Creek House”, and continued to thrive; when Sir Sandford Fleming made his surveying expedition across Can-

ada in 1872 his group planned to stay in Cache Creek on the night of Sept. 30, but could not, for when they arrived they found that “the hotel was full, as it gen-erally is” (they ended up staying at Ashcroft Manor instead, as guests of Governor Cornwall).

By 1882 the property - owned solely by Camp-bell at that point - was being described as a landmark on the Cariboo Road. A post of� ce had been added, and at some point it reverted to the name Bonaparte House, for an 1895 ad in the Ashcroft Journal refers to it as such. What happened to it after that remains something of a mystery, however. It appears to have been moved once again, this time to the site now oc-cupied by the Oasis Hotel; a picture taken at the junc-tion of Highways 1 and 2 (the latter now Hwy 97) in the 1950s, looking west, shows what looks like the Bonaparte House building - somewhat modi� ed - on the spot the northern part of modern hotel now oc-cupies. Another archive picture shows that by 1962 its peaked roof was gone, and within a few years more renovations ensured that all traces of Bonaparte House were gone.

But are they? Rumours persisted for many years that parts of the old roadhouse could still be detected deep within the modern building, by those who knew what to look for. A current employee of the Oasis de-nies this; but perhaps the ghost of Bonaparte House still lingers, unwilling - after so many moves - to en-tirely leave its � nal resting place.

Taken in 1866, this is the earliest known photograph of Cache Creek. Bonaparte House is in the centre of the picture.
