AwarenessMonth

Ashcroft’s own art showThe 48th annual Fine Art Show & Sale started last week at St. Alban’s Hall and displayed nearly 200 beautiful pieces of artwork from local artists.

Ashcroft Sea Ca-det Ian Curran of 347 Avenger Roy-al Canadian Sea Ca-det Corps (RCSCC) is heading to the Nation-al Sea Cadet Regatta in Kingston later this year after placing � rst in the 40th Annual National Qualifying Regatta in Victoria.

Curran’s been a cadet for � ve years and this was his third at-tempt at the NQR: He’s placed seventh and third in the past. “Coming � rst is way better,” he says.

He and his team mate capsized once on the course, but it didn’t stop him. He says he and his team mate concentrated on winning: there was no other option.

Curran has already spent a summer in Kings-ton with the cadets and he knows what to expect.

“You just have to be aware of what’s hap-pening in your environment,” he said.

He’ll be competing with 24 other boats. The national is the highest sailing event for cadets.

LIFE WITH PETS

There have been many recent news stories about the re-emergence of childhood diseases that have not been an issue for years. When I was a kid, every student in school was vaccinated against diseases like Rubella, mumps and measles. My parents never lost sleep worry-ing whether my brother or I would suffer the devastating and crippling consequences of polio. Not too long ago, smallpox wiped out entire communities. The develop-ment of vaccines made those diseases a distant memory. Now these diseases exist only in the most underdeveloped and marginalized parts of the world where children do not receive vaccines. In North America, the practice of administering vaccinations to children is becoming a hotly debated topic.

So how does this apply to our pets? Many pet owners are becoming concerned about the effects of vaccinations for their animals and some are choosing not to vaccinate their animals. The history of pets is not unlike that of humans. Your grandparents or great-grandparents likely had siblings or friends who became crippled from polio or who died from another childhood ailment. Similarly, these same people almost certainly had a dog that died of distemper, as tens of thousands of puppies did before they reached their � rst birthday. Those dogs that managed to survive often had severe and lasting problems, including seizures. Pets died from rabies and, in the 1970’s and 1980’s, countless dogs died from parvovirus—before a vaccine was developed to prevent this disease.

When we don’t have direct experience with something, we often dramatically underestimate the risk. Such is the case with vaccines. Anyone whose pet has experienced a vaccine reaction (usually a swollen face, itching, vomiting or lethargy) recalls the experience. But hardly anyone to-

day has lost a pet to distemper. Why? Because we vac-cinate. What many people don’t realize is that vaccines protect not only the animal (or person) vaccinated, but they also protect unvaccinated individuals. This is called “herd immunity”. When the vast majority of a population (either four legged or two-legged) is protected against a disease, it lowers the risk for infection for everyone in that group. Because fewer individuals are susceptible to the disease, even those that are not vaccinated are less likely to encounter the disease, and therefore less likely to be-come ill.

So what happens when fewer individuals are vaccinat-ed? These diseases are always waiting in the wings to infect unprotected populations. This effectively turns back the clock and history repeats itself.

I did volunteer vet work in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, an area where many dogs are not vaccinated and are not on heartworm prevention. So what did I see? A dozen or more cases of canine distemper. In almost 20 years of veterinary practice, I have only seen one other case. Almost all the dogs were also infected with heart-worms, which is a potentially fatal parasite. Unvaccinated dogs can also be exposed to distemper from infected wild-life, such as fox and raccoons. Rabid dogs from northern Canada have also been transported to metropolitan areas with dire consequences.

For pets that do have a history of vaccine reactions, or those with immune system issues, there are reasonable al-ternatives, such as antibody titre tests, which use a blood sample to measure animal’s level of immunity to a speci� c disease. For the rest of us, vaccine protection is the best insurance policy.

POLICE REPORTWendy Coomber

Ashcroft RCMP: 250-453-2216Clinton RCMP: 250-459-2221Lytton RCMP: 250-455-2225

Suspected theftApr. 14 police received a com-

plaint from the Oasis Hotel that an ex-tenant caused damage to their room and possibly stole power tools that were stored nearby. Ho-tel management said the 34 year old Prince George woman had just been evicted after a week of stay-ing in one of the rooms, and the disappearance of the tools was no-ticed the same day she left.

End of conversationApr. 14 at 8 pm police were

notified that an assault had taken place in the parking lot of the Husky in Cache Creek earlier that evening. The alleged victim, a 59 year old Hazelton man, advised that he confronted another truck-er about his method of parking and he responded by jabbing his fingers into the victim’s throat and shoving him. Both men had left before po-lice were contacted.

School Zone enforcementApr. 15 after receiving com-

plaints that several ve-hicles were speed-ing in the AES school/playground zone. RCMP will be carry-ing out inforcement in this area, which ex-

tends from the BC Ambulance sta-tion to the three-way stop. Play-ground zones are in effect from 6 am to 9 pm and the speed limit is 30 kph. The penalty for speeding is a minimum of $196 in addition to two points on their driving record.

A place to sleepApr. 15 at 5:30 am police re-

ceived a report of a break and enter in progress in 16 Mile. Police lo-cated a 59 year old Williams Lake man trying to break into a travel trailer parked near the highway on private property. There was noth-ing of value in it, and the intoxi-cated hitchhiker was looking for a place to sleep. He was lodged in cells at the Detachment until sober.

Musical carsApr. 17 at 6:45 pm police were

called to the Chevron where an in-toxicated man was causing a dis-turbance by trying to enter vehi-cles that were not his own. Po-lice located the 48 year old man

from Springhouse stumbling through the parking lot. He was arrested for be-ing drunk in a public place and lodged in cells until sober.

Wallet lostApr. 18 at 8 pm

police received a re-port of a lost wallet near the Ashcroft Vil-lage Office on Ban-croft St. The wallet is white with light blue and pink lettering. Please turn in at the RCMP office if found.

Deck on fireApr. 19 at 1:10

am police assisted the Ashcroft Fire Dept. who were called to a fire on Brink St. where a backyard deck was on fire. The fire was extinguished but there was damage caused to the house as well as to the deck. The fire is still under inves-tigation but it is not deemed suspicious.

Bag foundApr. 19 an Inter-

ior Roads employ-ee turned in an over-night bag found by the highway near Ven-ables Valley Road containing clothing, a radio and headphones. Anyone missing the bag can claim it at the RCMP station.

Hope wants ridings left the same

Dog Park and sani station funding for ClintonFraser Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart dropped by the Village of Clinton last week to present a $20,000 cheque for the development of a dog park and the installation of a sani station on Suncor’s brownfield properties. Mayor Jim Rivett, Coun. Susan Swan, MLA Jackie Tegart and Coun. Diana Guerin pawsed to enjoy the “cheque”. More on P. 7.

BC Lung Association director Carolyn Chorneychuk

BC Lung offers golf course discounts

CorrectionA headline in last week’s Journal errone-

ously stated that the Ashcroft Communities in Bloom Plant Swap was last Sunday. As stated in the article, the Swap is this coming Sunday, Apr. 26 at Heritage Place Park

Please bring any plants etc. to swap at 9:30. The sale will begin at 10am.

Local golfers can save on their favourite sport this summer, as the BC Lung Associa-tion’s Golf Privilege Club® Membership Book once again includes discounts for Semlin Valley Golf Course in Cache Creek, Eaglepoint Golf Resourt in Kamloops and Meadow Creek Golf Club in Logan Lake.

“Our membership book saves golfers hun-dreds of dollars for less than the price of one round of golf. It’s also a great way for golf-ers to pay less and play more while supporting the Lung Association’s work to improve lung

health in British Columbia,” says Carolyn Chor-neychuk BC Lung Association Volunteer Direc-tor for Ashcroft.

For one small price, the membership book entitles golfers to discounts at more than 120 courses across BC and Washington State. All proceeds go to BC Lung Association’s vari-ous programs and services. Save on golf while supporting the one in five British Columbians living with breathing problems. Visit www.golfandsave.ca or call 1.800.665.5864.

For more than 100 years, the BC Lung Asso-ciation has been the voice and primary resource for lung health in Canada. Founded to fight tu-berculosis, the BC Lung Association today fights lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on tobacco control, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, environmental health and air quality. A non-profit, non-govern-mental organization, the BC Lung Association acts as an educational resource for the general public as well as those living with respiratory conditions. The BC Lung Association also spe-cializes in patient support programs, commun-ity services and advanced medical research.

Hope StandardThe BC Electoral Boundaries Commission

was in Hope recently, looking for input on the new ridings.

“The council has discussed this elector-al boundary issue in detail and the decision of council was unanimous — we are unanimously in favour of staying within the Chilliwack align-ment for the electoral boundary,” said Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. “A lot of this has to do with geographic accessibility, almost without excep-tion, the provincial services that we enjoy as a community are based in Chilliwack — be it health services or the courts, there is a natural tie with Chilliwack.”

A request for the reconciliation of Hope and the Fraser Canyon with the Fraser-Nicola riding that currently presides over the communities of Princeton, Merritt, Lillooet, Ashcroft and Clin-ton was met with a level of honesty and integ-rity.

“Constituents of Hope, the Fraser Canyon and up through Boston Bar have already ex-perienced inadequate representation and con-sequences when these areas once formed a part of the Fraser-Nicola riding,” said Hans Jeschek, broker and manager at Royal LePage. “The MLA of that period was located too far away to meet frequently with residents and did not visit our communities often.”

Hope was once part of the Fraser-Nicola rid-ing, prior to a realignment established in the Electoral Districts Act in 2008 when Hope of-ficially became a member of the Chilliwack-Hope riding.

The riding originally served as an amalgam-ation of Chillwack-Kent, Yale-Lillooet, Chilli-wack-Sumas, Vancouver-Garibaldi and Maple Ridge-Mission.

Population was a key concern of the Chilli-wack-Hope area, which has increased by 21 per cent, but still maintains a number within two per cent of the average population in other provin-cial ridings, thereby suggesting that moving into the Fraser-Nicola riding would not be in line with adequate representation.

Geographical concerns over the correct placement of The District of Hope were brought to light as citizens argued that Hope is part of the Fra-ser Valley, as opposed to the Interior.

Among other key points were the cultural and economical services that cover the entire area from Boston Bar through the Fraser Canyon.

“The heart of the Fraser Valley naturally gravitates south with respect to culture, business and services including health and recreation,” said Jeschek. “In fact the Hope and District Recreation Commission of the regional district serves from Hope up to and including Boston Bar — it is not geared towards Lytton, Lillooet and beyond.”

Efficiency and proximity was also a key issue for the potential re-alignment.

It was suggested that Hope would suffer if it was removed from its current riding status, which was seen by opposition as a difficult and im-practical move for the smooth coordination of efforts between the fed-eral Chilliwack-Hope and an MLA in a more remote mountain range in Princeton, or Merritt.

Voices in favour of the realignment were also heard.“I support those changes, recommended by you, I believe they are in

the best interest of the people of Hope and its surrounding town and vil-lages,” said resident Marjorie Houghton. Hope is a a better fit with Fras-er-Nicola than it was with Chilliwack, our views and our goals were over-whelmed by the majority of voters in Chilliwack. As a senior I moved to Hope when it had a hospital — now the hospital is just a band aid station,” she said.

The majority of those in favour of the realignment, cited differences in economics, numbers and objectives as a major reason to support the move for a new riding.

“When we were in Yale-Lillooet, our opinion mattered and we had an equal voice and we could compete with small communities like Yale, and we had a lot more in common with them in terms of economy and trans-portation links,” said Houghton.

SUNSHINE HIGHLIGHTS the fresh green buds of new leaves for this tree

Nanotechnology reshaping the futureby Carlo Montemagno Director, Ingenuity LabUniversity of AlbertaEDMONTON, AB/ Troy Media/ -

For more than two million years, man-kind has shaped its world through the creative manipulation of a small number of fundamental machines. Throughout the agricultural and mech-anical ages, from the printing press to the first airplanes, all were crafted from the six fundamental machines of phys-ics - the screw, the wheel and axle, the incline plane, the lever, the pulley, and the wedge.

The electronic age was established through the addition of five fundamen-tal machines to the modern toolbox: the diode, the transistor, the inductor, the resistor, and the capacitor.

It’s hard to believe, but our en-tire civilization is founded on the cre-ative exploitation of the properties of just these 11 different building blocks. Everything, from smartphones to elec-tric cars to global positioning satellites, is produced from a small number of distinct, functional pieces.

Yet our technological achievements pale in comparison to the complexity of the biological achievements found in nature.

Nature is so complex because it has tens of thousands of building blocks to work with, instead of the 11 used by man. Think of the extraordinary in-novations humans could engineer if we had access to nature’s incredible selec-tion of tools.

By using nature’s building blocks to manipulate matter a single molecule at a time, Ingenuity Lab is making the impossible possible.

Nature has the ability to actively se-lect, sort and transport molecules and to facilitate the exchange of informa-tion, thus enabling communication be-tween them. While there are challen-ges to working at this atomic level, In-genuity Lab has been able to capitalize on these molecular interactions found in living systems to yield technologies that will help solve many of society’s challenges.

For example, recent advances have enabled us to use nature’s fundamen-tal machinery in engineered systems to establish a whole new class of valuable materials by transforming CO2 emis-sions. In fact, this technology has the potential to transform CO2 waste into more than 40 different valuable drop-in chemicals. We’re confident this new technology is poised to become a scal-able and sustainable weapon to address climate change, all while turning waste into something valuable.

In recent years, much has been written about 3D printing technol-ogy, which is essentially a process that builds layers to create a three-di-mensional solid object from a digit-al model.3D printing has the potential to significantly transform the global economy by advancing the value of in-formation, reducing capital infrastruc-ture and product and material transpor-tation costs and accelerating the evolu-

tion of products.3D printing - also known as addi-

tive manufacturing - relies on the use of specialty - let’s call them - ‘inks’ such as plastic, ceramics and metals that solidify into a defined structure. The most common 3D printers use a single material ‘ink’, most often a plas-tic, to manufacture the final product. This process allows us to make more complex products that are light and strong, and minimize the use of materi-al, enabling the production of items as varied as antennas in plastic cell phone cases, to high-temperature-, high-load-tolerant jet engine parts.

But advances at Ingenuity Lab are allowing for the transition of additive manufacturing from 3D to a four-di-mensional, functional space (4D print-ing), which will allow devices to act-ively interact and transform their lo-cal environments in many of the same ways living systems do.

This next wave of technologic-al progress will enable the creation of materials and devices that transform energy and collect, process and act on information, which will provide many new avenues to address global chal-lenges with solutions that can improve both our quality of life and prosperity.

Up to now, we have built our man-made world from a few simple ‘ma-chines but with nanobiotechnology we will be able to reshape nature.

Dr. Carlo Montemagno is Director of Ingenuity Lab at the University of Al-berta. www.troymedia.com

It’s Spring and everyone, it seems, wants a dog park.

Clinton, Ashcroft, Cache Creek... The question has come up in our towns. Clinton, apparently, is going forward with theirs; Ashcroft is putting together a committee to look into it; in Cache Creek it hasn’t been put to Council yet.

A quick scan of the world wide web shows that a lot of major cities now have dog parks or off-leash areas - not one, but several.

It’s not a bad idea for the dogs. Like people, most animals - especially domesti-cated ones - are social. I don’t have two (or more) cats just because I love them - I rec-ognize their need to be with others of their own species. My cats don’t have the op-portunity to mingle with other cats because they don’t leave the house.

Dogs are larger and need more room than a house can provide. Yards are neces-sary, but they don’t provide the “meet and greet” opportunities that a dog park might, unless it’s from a dog whose owner treats the entire town like an off-leash area. And I know several of those.

At a recent Town Hall meeting in Cache Creek, the idea was proposed by a resi-dent recently moved to town. That sparked a lively debate about loose dogs and the cleanup required after them. It was sug-gested that a dog park would take care of that problem, although I suspect that the dog-owners who let their animals run free-ly wouldn’t be interested in taking them to a park. And who is going to clean up the park, or is that considered a hazard of hav-ing a dog park?

Simply fencing off a section of land and calling it a dog park shouldn’t be enough. Dogs - and their owners - need some basic obedience training to avoid serious fights, up to date health cards to avoid the spread of infectious diseases, and of course they need to be neutered to avoid unwanted pregnancies and aggression.

It’s going to take a while to sort the rules and limits, but it can be worth it for local dogs and their families, as well as visitors who want to let their dogs run free.

We’ll see how Clinton works this out.

Strawberries in season at the Senior’s CentreDid your Mother ever say to

you,”Don’t wish your life away - you will be old soon enough!” - and now you know she was right!

Here we are more than half-way through April already, wonder-ing where the time went. Other words, from Chaucer’s writings, promise that “April’s sweet rains will slake the droughts of March.” I would not say that the snowfalls and sleet storms we have had recently were exactly sweet! Now, according to the same author, we can look forward to “rough winds do shake the darling buds of May”!

We held our monthly business meeting on Apr. 16. It was attended by the usual stalwart group, and as well, by a few new and returned members.

Business was discussed as usual, and we were reminded of several dates for our calendars, the most immediate being the Strawberry Tea on Saturday, Apr. 25. Donations to the Bake Table and the Crafts Table (Kathy is doing a terrific job!) will be most gratefully re-ceived. A word of thanks to all those who have volunteered for jobs associ-ated with the event - table workers, ticket sellers, servers, setting up workers, kitchen staff, dishwashers and donors of supplies! Many hands make light work. Thanks are due too, to the Man-ager and Staff of the Safety Mart who so graciously helped with the ticket sales by allowing us to use their premises to sell tickets. We are most grateful for what they do for us.

Other events of note: Kevin Scallon reports that over 50 competitors from our area will be attending the Seniors Games in North Vancouver later this year. These events are open to all who are 55+ and wish to com-pete. If you need in-formation, contact Kevin Scallon or Isa-bel McGrath.

The Centre will be closed for the May carpet bowling event in Cache Creek.

The last day of Saturday Bingo until Fall will be on June 6, so let’s have a rousing turnout for it.

The most import-ant date of all is May 26 when election of our officers will take place at the Centre. Elections will be held for the top four offi-cers - President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Muriel and Donna have said

they will carry on in their current pos-itions so that leaves Treasurer and Vice President to be elected. Anyone inter-ested should have attended at least five of the monthly meetings in the past year. Please come out and become in-volved in your club, and support those willing to take on positions.

Today we celebrate members Gail and Victor Koop.

Gail was born in Winnipeg, Mani-toba, to a devout family and grew up on a small farm at Elm Creek. She is the oldest of five children, gifted in music, athletics and leadership. I guess that having four younger siblings made her develop these skills! They grew up in an open and wholesome rural environ-ment as did many of our members.

Fate took her to study Music at a college where there was a certain young man

called Victor was studying for his Bachelor of Religious Edu-cation degree, and the rest is, as they say, history.

They married in 1978 and in the following years moved frequently across country to

Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC and On-tario, pursuing their dedication to Church work. Finally in 2010 they came to Ashcroft, where they have many interests - gardening, quilt-ing (Gail), tennis (Victor), the Seniors group and generally enjoying being part of the community. Their marriage has been blessed with four children and, for the present, one grandchild.

We enjoy their company at the Cen-tre, their friendship and willingness to join in our pursuits and endeavours, and we are happy they have settled here.

Till my next bulletin - have a great Spring and enjoy the sun!

Golden Country presents... Past, Present & Beyond

GOLDEN COUNTRYBARBARA RODEN

More on the history mystery: the aroma of sewage and lilacsHistory is, at � rst glance, fairly easy to recog-

nize. It’s something that happened a long time ago, usually (but not al-ways) so long ago that no one now alive remembers it � rsthand; the sort of thing one � dgets through in school, like the Up-per Canada Rebel-lion or Confeder-ation. Other, more recent, events are also classed as his-tory, even though many people still remember them – the Great Depres-sion, World War II, and the Cold War are three that leap to mind - because they had a pro-found effect on the world we live in today.

But there’s a grey area of history that’s easy to overlook, and that’s what happened, quietly and without drama, in our own backyards just a few dec-ades ago. It’s the sort of thing that no one will ever write books about, and that Ken Burns will never turn into a six-part documentary for PBS. But it’s fascinating in its own way, as it captures a place and a moment that would otherwise be forgotten.

Just such a piece of history was what I found when I asked what building once stood on the west side of the Ashcroft bridge in about 1965, where a row of lilacs now stands. For those who didn’t see my letter in last week’s paper, the building was the sewage treatment plant for North Ashcroft, and I’m grateful to all those who contacted me with this in-formation. There the story would seem to end; but several people offered up details that combine to � ll in a little corner of the history of Ashcroft.

Ray Thompson said that his father Syd was Vil-lage Foreman between 1962 and 1967, and that the plant was built during this time (it was completed in 1969, when Ed Walsh was Foreman). There was al-ready a sewage treatment plant for South Ashcroft (what’s now downtown), where almost all the resi-dents and businesses were located in the town’s ear-ly days. What’s now North Ashcroft was orchards and � elds, with the odd ranch and a scattering of resi-

dences clustered around the Cariboo Road, which had been the gateway to Ashcroft until the bridge was relocat-ed near to its current site in 1932.

It was not until some years af-ter World War II that development began in North Ash-croft. The town was booming, with the cannery and lumber mills attracting new residents, and when the Bethle-hem Copper Mine opened in 1962 the demand for new housing soared. There was no room in the old town, so North Ashcroft was the logical place to build. With the new development came the need for new infrastructure; hence the building of the new sewage treatment plant.

Dolly Lowe, who moved to Ashcroft in August 1966, remembers that the plant was there when she arrived. Like many buildings of its type it did not as-pire to architectural greatness: it was a plain, utili-tarian structure meant to deal discreetly with an un-savoury business. Just how unsavoury was some-thing longtime Ashcroft resident Louise McKague - who lives directly across from the plant’s site - re-calls vividly. “The smell was terrible,” she said. “We had a councillor over for dinner one night, so he could smell it for himself.”

Louise also had a much more pleasant memory of the plant: speci� cally, of the lilacs planted in front of it, which are just coming into bloom as I write, and which � rst made me wonder what building had once stood there. “The lilacs were planted by Finlay An-derson, who was one of the Village crew members,” she said. “I’m glad they’re still there, because when I see them they remind me of Finlay, and what a nice man he was.”

Despite the smell from the plant, the area around the building was not without its attractions. Murray Kane remembers that he and many other kids rode their dirt bikes along the numerous trails beside it, and that his sister Heather and their father rented land nearby from the Ashcroft Indian Band, where they kept a couple of horses (Fergus Joslin recalls a small

shed or stable on the site). Presumably the horses weren’t bothered by the plant’s smell.

In one of those twists of fate life likes to throw up, Ashcroft’s success is what made the North Ashcroft plant obsolete little more than a decade after it was built. The north side of town had grown rapidly, and houses had sprung up on the Mesa. A new sewage treatment plant that would cope with the needs of the entire town became necessary, so between late 1976 and early 1977 a new plant was built on the east side of the river. Both of the existing plants were aban-doned when the new one came online, and eventually taken down, existing only in people’s memories and a few photographs.

But that last statement is not quite correct. If you pull off Hwy 97C and walk up behind the lilac bush-es, the cement foundations of the old plant are clear-ly visible. And according to Al Midgley, part of the North Ashcroft plant might well have served the town until very recently (and may still be in use). He said that he thought something from the plant had been used in the new facility, and a passage in the 2011 Village application for a grant to upgrade the current plant bears this out: “The clari� er from one of the [older] facilities was actually incorporated into the current sewage treatment plant, and remains in operation today.”

The North Ashcroft sewage treatment plant may be gone, but it’s not forgotten, and the lilacs that bloom there every spring mark the place where it once stood. Next time you drive past the spot, think of Finlay Anderson, and know that in that brief mo-ment you’ll be touching history: not of the dramatic sort, but history nonetheless.

Many thanks to Michelle Allen for her assistance.

Dog parks and blooming signs

Going to the DogsJackie Tegart, MLA requested a meeting

with Village of Clinton Council on Friday, April 17 for a presentation.

Tegart surprised them with a cheque for $20,000 for a Dog Park and sani-dump on one of the brownfields in Clinton. Councillor Wayne

Marchant had been working on plans for this for some time and Suncor had approved the use of three lots that they own. The Village had applied for a grant to help with construction.

The plans call for a fenced dog park with trails, shrubs, benches, etc. and a sani-dump outside the fence on Village right-of-way.

On hand for Tegart’s presentation were Mayor Jim Rivett, councillors Diana Guerin and Susan Swan and Village staff.

CiB SignageThanks to the generosity of Integris Cred-

it Union the Village of Clinton now has sign-age advising that it is a Communities in Bloom community. Not only did Integris finance the signs but their graphics department also de-signed and created them. They were installed in

mid-April by Village staff.Clinton CiB Chair Christine John-

stone met at one of the signs with In-tegris Credit Union Clinton Branch Manager Angie Cahill and Integris In-surance Clinton Manager Evelyn Bell for a photo.

Integris Credit Union is very gen-erous in donating to various groups and causes in the communities in which they have branches.

Clinton Seedy SundayThe Seedy Sunday that was held

in Clinton on April 12 was very well attended. There were lots of seeds, plants and information to be had.

The organizers were very pleased with the turnout and are already plan-ning to have more displays available for the 2016 Seedy Sunday.

Nancy Rempel won the door prize and the Seed Count was won by Lau-rie Harrison.

Thanks to all who attended.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 A big change may be looming, Taurus. Think about leaving your comfort zone and trying an adventure. You never know what the experience will bring.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 There’s a lot to accomplish right now, Gemini, but distractions seem to turn up just when you get on track. Try to keep your attention focused on the tasks at hand.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You tend to gravitate toward leadership roles, Cancer. That can pack on the pressure, and sometimes you need a break. Choose this week to stand on the sidelines.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, even though you’re excited about a planned getaway, you’re also a little apprehensive about leaving home for long. Shake off such feelings and enjoy the time away.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, trust your own instincts when an unusual situation arises. Others will offer advice, but you will be most satis� ed if you go with your gut.

A better outlook with good food and exerciseTwo people in

my life I love very dearly are the two of the most depressed people I know. They are also two of the most unfit people I know. Is there a con-nection? Yes, there is.

Most of us have been afflicted with depression at one point or another in our lives. Some people have dealt with it for most of their lives. As you know, it can be so de-bilitating that you don’t want to eat, you don’t want to get out of bed, you most certain-

ly don’t feel like going for a run, or exercising at all, sim-ply going outside can seem like a nightmare.

I regularly run with the same people I raced Iron-man with a couple years ago. They are a vibrant, full

of life group of people that work, spend time with their family, and work out – A LOT. Their energy is in-fectious. It’s awe-some just being around them with lots of smiling faces, and lots of laughs, pre, during and post workout.

I listen to podcasts and articles regarding fitness and repeatedly hear stories of how people have emerged from the black hole of de-pression by choosing a fit life. Every one of them had

different rea-sons for get-ting depressed – like losing their job, losing their family, some war vets los-ing limbs. All of them never thought exer-cise would help them. When you are de-pressed, you make bad choices that bring you deep-er into depres-sion - like eat-ing the wrong foods, sleeping all the time or spending time secluded away from friends or family. All of them used ex-ercise to cure themselves of depression, and

have never looked back. They turned themselves into Spartan athletes, Ironman athletes, runners, cyclists, you name it.

Introducing a small amount of exercise in your daily routine can help bring you out of depression. Start-ing off slowly with 10-15 minutes per day can make a big difference. Use an alarm clock to get you up early in the morning to get this work-out done before starting your day. Do it at the end of the day when you get home from work to help you sleep better. With a brisk walk, some yoga, a bike ride, or playing some soccer with friends or family. Remem-ber to not overdo it at first, all of these workouts may seem pretty easy to most, but if you have depressed for a long time, simply walking across the parking lot at Wal-mart can be a huge chore.

As you exercise, your brain releases Endorphins. Endorphins boost your mood, relieve stress, mod-erate your appetite, en-hance your immune sys-tem, among other awesome things. As you progress, your 10-15 minute workout won’t be enough to get your fix. No problem, this is nat-ural. Your body is getting used to the stress, and you simply add some intensity, or duration to your workout.

Now you’ll be getting into more regular sleep pat-terns, feeling better about yourself, and making smart-er choices on what foods to eat.

Spring provides evidence of God’s handiworkRecent rain showers and

regular watering have re-sulted in a rainbow of col-ours as Spring brings forth a myriad of blossoms, petals and leaves for a variety of fruit trees, flowers and plants in my backyard.

Within a few paces I can see bright yellow, and or-ange-red tulips, pure white blossoms on my cherry, apri-cot and plum trees, light and dark pink blossoms on two different varieties of peach trees, and beautiful and strik-ing dark red and pink blos-soms on a crab apple tree.

In addition, as I look down I can see the distinct yellow, blue and purple col-ours of various ground cover plants as well as the dark red stocks and large broad green leaves of my rhubarb plants. As I approach the afore-mentioned blossoming trees I can hear a familiar hum of the rapidly beating wings of hundreds of busy bees who are engrossed in the unend-ing task of pollination. Even my lawn has turned from a sickly yellowish colour at the end of winter to a lush green carpet within a week of continuous watering.

Our yard’s lone red-dish-brown squirrel who has made his home in one of our evergreen trees was seen re-cently scurrying across the

yard in his forage for food. Birds seen lately have in-cluded the common red and orange-breasted rob-ins, a group of greyish white doves, and a couple of eye-catching Stel-ler’s jays.

The col-our, variety and diversity of life that I have observed in my backyard continue to amaze and remind me of God’s handi-work in creat-ing our visible universe.

Romans 1:20 emphasiz-es this theme when it notes that “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qual-ities - His eter-nal power and divine nature-have been clear-ly seen, be-ing understood from what has been made.”

In chapter 1 of the gospel of John, Jesus Christ is identi-fied as the cre-

ative source of our universe: “In the beginning was the

Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the be-ginning. Through him all things were made; with-out him nothing was made that

has been made. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of

the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”

As you enjoy Spring I urge you to remember that the beauty in nature is a re-flection of the power and divine character of a loving God who cares deeply about us. Visit a local church and get to know Him personally. You won’t be disappointed.
