Accident claims life of Cache Creek man

New rodeo grounds going to public meeting

Using stories to connectRichard Wagamese, author, playwright and actor, spoke to Ashcroft high school students, staff and members of the public last week, sponsored by Bridging to Literacy. The Ojibway storyteller told how he dropped out of school at age 16 and left abusive adoptive parents and siblings to eventually make his way back to his people who helped put him on the right path.

An overflowing Ashcroft Council Chamber listened to the Rodeo Association’s presentation.

Ashcroft RCMP and Central Interior Traf-fic Services Unit responded to a report of a sin-gle vehicle, fatal motor vehicle incident which occurred in the bluffs of Hwy 97C on Tuesday March 17 at approximately 5:30 pm.

Local taxi driver, Donald George Alford, 63, of Cache Creek, succumbed to his injuries as a result of the collision. There were no passen-gers in the taxi at the time, although the vehicle was transporting luggage for an earlier passen-ger which made police consider that there may have been someone else in the taxi. The owner of the luggage was located and was not involved in the accident.

The initial investigation determined that the west-bound taxi had crossed the centre line at a sharp angle, making hard contact with a sheer rock face on the south side of the highway.

The highway was closed in both directions for approximately five hours between 5:30-10:30 pm while RCMP, Ashcroft Fire Depart-ment, Search and Rescue, Paramedics, Cor-oners Service, Ministry of Transportation and a RCMP Collision Re-constructionist jointly in-vestigated the scene.

Any witnesses to this collision are asked to contact Cpl. Andrew West of the Central Inter-ior Traffic Services Unit at the Ashcroft RCMP Detachment at (250) 453-2216

The Ashcroft Rodeo Asso-ciation has made a pitch to the Village Council to move the rodeo grounds to a portion of land off of Mesa Vista Dr. in an area known as The Dunes over-looking the Thompson River.

Council’s response is to call for a public meeting for input.

Association members Hea-ther Philpot and Trace DeBoer made the presentation to Coun-cil at its March 23 meeting. They brought a map of The Dunes to illustrate their needs.

Philpot said they’ve talked to the Ashcroft Band about land on the Reserve, they’ve spoken to the government about nearby Crown land, they’ve even looked into using part of the Ashcroft Ranch.

“Our first preference is The

Dunes,” she said.It’s removed and isolated

from current property owners, continued Philpot, has easy ac-cess for vehicles, will only be disruptive for one weekend of the year and has the necessary 10 acres of land.

She said the group would be willing to lease or purchase the land, giving the Village first op-tion to repurchase the property.

The is another five acres of land there being reserved for a new school. Philpot said that would be their second choice if the school district no long-er wants the land. However, that would involve separating the rodeo grounds into two pieces of property with a buffer of Crown land between them. It would, however, mean that the Associ-

ation would be asking for less “buildable” land.

“This is the largest spe-cial event weekend in Ash-croft,” said Philpot. “It means a huge influx of people and money.”

Not everyone thought it was a good idea, however. One couple in the audience preferred to look at The Dunes without the Rodeo’s fencing and equipment. Councillors Barbara Roden and Al Mertens were con-cerned about the increase of traffic on the mesa during rodeo weekend.

“Whether it has to have geo-tech (study) or not, it is develop-able land and that has to be con-sidered,” said Mayor Jack Jeyes.

The date for a public meeting

has not been set. Allen reminded Council that the land may have to be rezoned to accommodate the rodeo.

With the permission of Council, Association mem-

bers will be placing stakes in the ground to show where they would like to place the grounds, to give everyone a better idea of the exact location they are hoping to use.

Important Notice to Resource Road Users

A province wide, safety-oriented project is underway to standardize two-way radio communications on forest service roads and some resource roads. This project includes standardized signage, new dedicated resource road radio channels and standardized call procedures.

The Thompson Rivers Forest District, along with other districts in the Southern and Northern Interior, will begin implementing new resource road radio channels commencing on May 4, 2015. Districts on the Coast and in the Cariboo have already transitioned or are currently transitioning.

Forest industry workers and other road users using mobile radios must have their radios reprogrammed to incorporate the new resource road channels.

It is recommended that road users retain current radio frequencies until they are sure they are no longer required.

New signs posted on local resource roads indicate which radio channel to use and the calling interval, with drivers required to indicate their direction of travel and their vehicle type. Drivers using mobile radios must call according to the posted channels and call protocols.

All road users are reminded that forest service roads are not radio-controlled, but radio-assisted. All users should drive safely and according to road and weather conditions.

It is strongly recommended that all resource road users exercise additional caution during this transition period.

Local resource road safety committees have worked together to implement these changes. More information (including radio communications protocols, radio channels, maps and standardized signs) is available online at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/hth/engineering/Road_Radio_Project.htm

If you have questions about this project, please contact the Thompson Rivers Forest District Office (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations) at (250) 371-6500, the website above, or

Industry Canada at 1 800 667-3780.

POLICE REPORTWendy Coomber

WHAC has a new online presence

The WHAC group continues to work on your behalf to improve the health care situation in Ashcroft and surrounding areas. Since our last report the committee held meetings on Feb 16 and March 16. Some of the things we have been working on: We have rewritten our post-ing to attract health care workers to more close-ly reflect our local area. Currently this posting is listed on six professional web sites.

We are establishing a membership as our ongoing record of who is supporting WHAC. This is important in achieving our goals of both stabilizing and increasing health services for our area. The fee is small only $5 to become a supporting member - $2 goes to Community Resources Society, our supporting charity, and $3 goes towards our expenses as we have no other funding. We are grateful to the Village of Ashcroft for providing the downstairs meeting room for our monthly Monday meetings and to Interior Health for allowing us to use the Ash-croft Hospital board room when we have the opportunity to meet with IH staff on site or via their video and phone conferencing systems.

Our new website at whac-chb.ca is up and running. Thanks to Jim Mertel, a new arrival in Ashcroft and a new WHAC member, for vol-unteering his expertise to set it up. You will find not only local health information, but also links to local Village sites, community resources list-ing, a monthly calendar of local activities and information regarding community resources. Check it out!

Shirley, David, Ron, Fran and Alice at-tended the Health and Education Fair pre-sented by Bonaparte Indian Band in Cache Creek on Feb. 19. It was an exciting event and the children and teens who attended learned a lot about health care careers and we learned of many health activities that are available in our area. We did appreciate working together with those who took part.

UPDATE ON ACTION PLAN: Ron re-ported on his continued pursuit of understand-ing IHA and indicated that MLA Jackie Te-gart’s office has been assisting. Ron, Shirley, David and Ashcroft Mayor, Jack Jeyes met with MLA Tegart on March 18 to update her and seek additional assistance and guidance.

Ron and Fran visited with EMS staff in Clinton to determine if EMS staff could be more involved in other health-care related matters. David and Alice have been occupied with physician retention and recruitment, and in solving the issue that our clinic is no long-er listed in the phone book. Fridge magnets are being pursued as a solution, and IHA staff are helping bring this to reality. The clinic is pla-cing an ad in The Connector phone book. Mari-lyn is progressing with a listing of all organiz-ations and agencies involved in mental health and has interviewed a nurse practitioner to bet-ter understand that opportunity.

Join us to help us reach the goal of more effective health care in this area. If you have ideas or questions check our website and leave a comment or click on the “contact us” section.

X marks the Telus buildingMarch 18 police received a com-

plaint of mischief to the Telus build-ing on Colllins Rd. in Cache Creek af-ter someone sprayed black “X”s on the building along with the number 50 some time overnight. The complainant reported that there was “no attempt at art”.

Arrest warrant issuedMarch 20 an arrest warrant was

issued for Gregory Larabie, 38, a for-mer Clinton resident now thought to be living in the Kamloops area. The war-rant stems from a July 29 incident at the Chevron where he was arrested for

causing a disturbance. Larabie failed to appear in court to answer charges.

Panhandler told to move onMarch 20 at 9:15 am police were

called to the Husky after receiving a re-port of a possibly intoxicated and ag-gressive male panhandler near the en-trance. The same individual had been coming back for days to panhandle in the same place. Police located the 20

year old Winnipeg man who said he was hitchhiking to Jas-per and ran out of money. He was asked to leave. There were no further complaints.

Immediate suspensionMarch 20 at 11:30 pm Traf-

fic Services stopped a pickup truck at a roadcheck on Hwy 97C by the bridge. The officer detected an odour of liquor on the driver’s breath and used a roadside screening device to obtain breath samples. The de-vice registered a Warn and the 59 year old Ashcroft man was given a three day driving sus-pension. A family member was called to come and pick him up.

Bus passenger arrestedMarch 21 at 1:30 pm police

were called to the Greyhound

Bus station in Cache Creek where an intoxicated passen-ger had been evicted from the bus and was being belliger-ant to other passengers. The man had left before police ar-rived, last seen walking north.

He was not located but was arrested by Clinton RCMP later in the day for being drunk and disruptive in public. The 48 year old Soda Creek man was lodged in their cells until sober.

Three day suspensionMarch 21 at 9:50 pm Traffic Servi-

ces stopped a vehicle on Hwy 99 while conducting a road check. The driv-er had no license and showed signs of impairment. The officer used a road-side screening device to obtain breath samples. The device registered a Warn and the 31 year old Kelowna man was given a three-day driving suspension. His vehicle was impounded.

Just trying to get homeMarch 21 at 10:15 pm officers

stopped a 2002 Chev Impala while con-ducting a road check on Hwy 99 near Hwy 97. The driver was prohibited and was travelling with his wife and their four children. The 31 year old Lillooet man explained that his wife had driven a long distance and was tired so he took over driving so they could get home. He was arrested and charged with driv-ing while prohibited. His wife was al-lowed to continue driving the family to Lillooet.

Civil forfeitures aid education programs

Dusting off those retail skillsThe weekend’s Spring Into Action home-based business fair in the Cache Creek Community Hall brought out an assortment of local vendors and potential customers.

Club asks Council for Evans Road walkway

One organization in Lillooet and one in Lyt-ton have received funding totalling $22,380 from the province’s civil forfeiture program to-ward combating violence against women.

“These programs are essential for educat-ing all residents about the far-reaching effects of violence against women,” Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart said. “Education is key, because the more people know, the better equipped they will be to prevent it.”

In Lillooet, a grant of $17,380 will go to the Xaxli’p First Nation’s program, Giving a Strong Voice to Aboriginal Women.

The program supports a three-day workshop by a Certified Traditional Healer specializing in supporting women who have experienced do-mestic violence. The goal is to empower women and help them heal and rebuild from violence.

In Lytton, a $5,000 grant will go to the Nlha’7kampx Child and Family Services Soci-ety’s Community Awareness Training on Vio-lence.

The program educates front-line service pro-viders of the local First Nations bands on how violence against women impacts women, chil-dren, family and extended family through a two-day seminar on recognizing signs of abuse and how to support women who experience vio-lence.

This year, the priority focus for civil for-feiture proceeds is on initiatives about violence against women, through the Violence Free BC initiative, as it will be in years to come. Other areas where funding was made available includ-ed serving victims through restorative justice, community and youth crime prevention, and po-lice training and equipment.

Since the civil forfeiture program became active, it has returned approximately $15 mil-lion from successful forfeiture actions to crime prevention and victims programs in B.C.

No one doubts that Evans Road is becoming less safe for pedestrians as truck traffic increases. The only doubt is that there may not be enough room to add a paved pathway next to the current road.

“Four feet wide would be perfect,” said Wayne Little to Council on behalf of the Desert Hills Tri Club.

He said more Tri Club members are going to Kamloops to use their facilities to train as Ashcroft loses more of theirs. He added that they have almost 400 signatures on a petition calling for a paved walkway.

Many club members also use the Cache Creek pool park, which has a paved walking trail around the perimeter, as well as public exercise stations. “It’s our go-to place.”

He said club members feel there is more than enough room on the other side of the cement no posts along the river.

“There are areas where the width wouldn’t be an issue, but there are many areas right on the edge,” said Coun. Al Mertens. “There’s a lot of planning that needs to be done. The most room for a pathway is at the far end - would it be acceptable just to do it at the end by the slough?”

Little said most of the people using Evans Rd. want to be able to walk from the old fire station to the slough, so just putting a short track near the slough would de-feat the purpose. He asked about the rumours that the slough was going to be closed to the public.

It’s Ashcroft Terminal’s property,” between the road and the tracks, said Mayor Jack Jeyes. He said the road may also encroach on some of CP’s right of way at various points.

Council didn’t say it couldn’t be done, but they were skeptical. Coun. Al Mertens asked the group to dig up some technical information on how much land is available for a pathway there.

B.C.VIEWS

A COUPLE OF CUTE KIDS at Horstings Farm Market just north of Cache Creek

VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment has made its most signifi-cant moves in decades to address the needs of some of the province’s poorest people.

The largest financial commit-ment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the wel-fare trap. There are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provin-cial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women.

Even if they could find an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their in-come assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children.

That is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse government policies to have survived into our supposedly en-lightened modern era.

The new program takes effect in September. It will not only continue in-come assistance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it prom-ises to cover their child care and trans-portation costs for an approved training program of up to one year.

Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year after training, to allow a transition to em-ployment.

Approved training means train-ing for jobs that are identified as in de-mand, requiring high school and oc-cupation-specific training that can be

completed in a year or less. They in-clude retail sales, general office work and assistance jobs in health services.

Another overdue policy change is to double the allowable earnings for all income assistance recipients from $200 to $400 a month. This gives people a chance to improve their circumstances by taking whatever part-time or casual work they can manage, without having that little income cut from their already meagre welfare cheques.

And then there was the recent de-cision to end the claw-back of parent-al child support payments from income assistance payments.

The province has for many years run a costly child maintenance en-forcement program to track down (mostly) deadbeat dads and force them to pay at least a token amount to sup-port their children. Now when they pay child support to a single parent on in-come assistance, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the chil-dren actually receive the extra benefit.

These harsh, historic policies were

built around a philosophy that wel-fare is a temporary last resort, to be withdrawn as soon as some other source of income is identified. That is a valid if unfashionable position to take on behalf of working tax-payers who pay for all this, but it only makes sense if the income as-sistance recipient has a realistic op-tion.

For those who are already in the entry-level job market, the min-imum wage goes up 20 cents an hour in September, from $10.25 to

$10.45. This is the beginning of an an-nual review that will tie the wage to the consumer price index.

A paltry sum, to be sure, but any-one who still thinks jacking the min-imum wage up to $15 an hour is a magic solution that won’t cost some entry-level jobs is clinging to a social-ist dream world.

• I have been contacted by sever-al low-income seniors who read my re-cent column on B.C.’s Seniors’ Advo-cate. They were asking where to find out if they are eligible for support pro-grams such as the SAFER rent subsidy, assistance for Medical Services Plan premiums, property tax deferment and grants to help with home modifications for disabilities.

I apologize for this oversight. One place to start is the Seniors’ Advocate toll-free information line, 1-877-952-3181, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

My dad was an excellent driver. He was a professional driver, hauling cars across country for Chrysler and independently, driving trucks for almost 30 years. Before that he drove a cab.

He taught my brothers and I to drive, both automatic and standard. Every Sun-day morning he and I would head out for lessons, driving up and down the county roads that connected Windsor with the sur-rounding towns and townships. It wasn’t just a driving lesson - it was history lessons, geography lessons and lots of well-spent time with dad, who was born and raised there and had a million stories to tell about every square mile of local roads.

Learning to drive was fun. He was al-ways calm and gentle in his corrections. He taught us to stop for pedestrians, watch for animals, be courteous always, use your seat belt (before it was law) and never be in a rush.

I hope that I learned that last part es-pecially, although I know there are times when I’m overcome with impatience on the road.

It seems that, for a lot of drivers, impa-tience behind the wheel - coupled with ag-gression - is the way they drive.

Doesn’t it always seem worse in the summer? Most drivers are pretty consider-ate during the Winter - perhaps because the tricky road conditions force them to be. But come Spring and Summer, look out! The highways become riskier than they did in the snow.

Road rage and discourtesy are just indi-cations of a larger problem. Aggression and violence are growing and spreading throughout the world, and the world seems to have become more tolerant of them.

I often wonder what’s fueling it. Is there a single cause - maybe a parenting factor or environmental toxin in our food or in the air - or is it simply our genetic makeup that keeps us moving forward and changing?

No two ways about it, the human race is constantly changing, and not always in the direction we think it should.

I can accept that “my way” isn’t always the way it should be, but aggression and im-patience on the road is never acceptable.

GARBAGE COLLECTIONDue to the Good Friday Holiday, garbage pick up normally scheduled for Friday, April 3rd, will be collected on Thursday, April 2nd, 2015.


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear EditorIn a letter published in last

week’s Journal (“Other towns get-ting doctors”), Esther Darling-ton MacDonald wrote that “there are four doctors in Lytton, and four doctors in Lillooet. What have these communities got that Ashcroft doesn’t have? There is obviously more savvy in Lillooet and Lytton than there is here.”

This does not quite tell the whole story. As of March 20, 2015 Lytton has two doctors, who work on a one week on, one week off basis. This number will increase to three doctors on April 1, when the rotation for each doctor will be-come one week on, two weeks off. There is never more than one doc-tor on duty in Lytton in a given week, handling bot the clinic and any emergencies. Lillooet currently has five doctors, with either two or three of them “on duty” on a given day.

The doctor situation in Ashcroft is indeed a matter for concern, as it is in many towns throughout the province. However, using erroneous information, and then stating that other communities are therefore “savvier”, does not help the situa-tion, and does a disservice to the ef-forts of the members of the Well-ness and Health Action Coalition

who are working hard to improve our situation.

Barbara RodenAshcroft

Dear EditorI’ve bit my tongue for so long,

I’ve bit it almost through;I would rather hand out roses,

Than throw a bunch of thorns.When we first came to the area

a few years ago, part of our job was garbage pick up. No big deal. It is a job that comes with our job. Tak-ing it to the dump was easy. It’s free too! A blessing for so many of us. It was clean for a dump but it isn’t anymore.

We see pictures of wildlife with plastics of different kinds wrapped around the body or stuck in some fashion on them. Disabling them to the point of starvation or deform-ities. Sad to see.

With the winds we have been having there has been an abun-dance of litter blowing around. You look up towards the dump and you can see it in the trees, hang-ing on the sagebrush, etc. In places it shouldn’t be. If you have to go right up to the dump site, it is far worse! It is down right disgusting. Has everything been “budget cut” so much that this has to hap-

pen? Why was it clean before and so bad now? Is there not a clean up crew?

No pain was involved as Ashcroft Mayor Jack Jeyes was pinned by Ina Gory and Maria Russell Martin to kick off the Canadian Cancer Society “Buy a Daffodil Pin” Campaign. Boxes will be out for the month of April at local businesses in Ashcroft and Cache Creek.

April showers bring cancer awareness

For the Canadian Cancer Society, the daffo-dil is more than a simple flower.

This bright and hopeful symbol shows people living with cancer that they don’t have to face cancer alone, and that we won’t give up until we have achieved our vision of a world where no Canadian fears cancer. During April – Daffodil Month – the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety asks all Canadians to buy a daffodil pin and wear it to show their support for those living with cancer.

“We celebrate the ‘power of the flower’ all year round – but April is really our time to shine!” says Lynnette Wray, Financial Support Program Team Lead for the Canadian Cancer Society in the Southern Interior Region. “When loved ones are diagnosed with cancer, we often want to do something to help or honour them. This April, we want people to know that there is something they can do.”

Last year, the Can-adian Cancer Soci-ety was able to fund $45 million dollars in world-class research to fight all cancers and help more than 85,000 Canadians through its information and sup-port services. The So-ciety also funds can-cer prevention work so fewer Canadians are diagnosed in the first place.

Of the five differ-ent regions in the BC/Yukon Division of the Canadian Cancer So-ciety, the Southern In-terior Region is the largest user of the fi-nancial support pro-gram. Since Septem-

ber 2010, over 1,500 clients have been approved for a total of over $700,000 in funding.

“Our region is the biggest user of the finan-cial support program for several reasons,” ex-plains Wray. “We’re very geographically dis-persed and patients often have to travel long distances for cancer treatment in Kelowna or Vancouver. For example, a patient in Cranbrook might need specialized treatment that they can only get in Vancouver. That’s 958 kilometres with limited low-cost transportation options and barriers such as mountain passes and win-ter weather.”

The daffodil pin will be available by dona-tion at various businesses in Ashcroft and Cache Creek throughout April, including the Ashcroft Bakery & Coffee Shop, the Husky House Res-taurant and BC Liquor stores.

Yvette May of the Seniors Association ‘pinned’ Mayor Jim Rivett with a Daffodil Pin at the Daffodil Tea on March 18.

Some of last year’s Seedy Saturday action

Flowers are springing up in ClintonDaffodil Tea

The Clinton Seniors As-sociation held their Annual Daffodil Tea on Wednesday, March 18 in the Clinton Me-morial Hall. In addition to the lovely strawberry shortcake there was a bake table as well as a table where one could pur-chase cut daffodils and/or pot-ted mini-daffodils.

There was a very good turnout with 140 servings of cake enjoyed by those who at-tended as well as 40 deliveries to businesses or individuals who could not attend.

The door prize was won by Christine Rivett, and Lau-rie Harrison won the guessing game.

April is Daffodil Month and the Cancer Society has initiated a ‘Pin your May-or’ campaign to kick off the month. Mayor Jim Rivett was ‘pinned’ at the Daffodil Tea. The goal of the Cancer Society is to increase the survival rate of cancer patients.

Clinton CiB Making a DifferenceAs you enter the Village of Clinton, whether

from the north or south, you may notice a differ-ence. The entrance signs now have solar lights to show the travelling public where they are when driving into Clinton at night.

The signs were installed by Fleinco Con-struction thanks to a BC Hydro Community Donation that was applied for by the Clinton CiB Committee.

Seedy Sunday PlannedThe Clinton Communities in Bloom Com-

mittee is making plans for their annual Seedy Sunday for April 12.

There will be seeds and plants for sale and to trade, information displays on a number of topics, garden related items for sale, and seed cleaning. If you have seeds that need cleaning (peas, beans, corn, etc.) please bring them along

and see how the winnower separates the chaff from the seeds.

A lunch of soup and bun will be available and there will be a kids activ-ity area set up. Bring the family and get a good start to the gardening season.

Living Well

I enjoy coaching people to live active, healthy lifestyles and in order to do this well, I need to be informed of best practices. It is fun to learn, so when I attend a fitness conference it’s difficult to decide which workshops to sign up for because I want to attend them all!

The last time I attended the BCRPA Fit Con-ference, I decided that I needed more knowledge and tools especially regarding fitness for older adults, so I looked at what was offered and was surprised to see workshop titles like; Power Lifting for the Older Adult and Strength Training for Seniors; I wanted to know more, so I listened to the experts talk about weight train-ing for older adults and what I learned has informed my coaching ever since.

I didn’t imagine that these Fitness for Older Adult workshops would tell me that a 70 or 80 year old should be doing a bench press, squats or sit ups, but that is exactly what I heard.

According to Centres for Disease Control & Preven-tion, (CDC), strengthening exercises are both safe and effective for women and men of all ages, including those who are not in perfect health. In fact, people with health concerns - including heart disease or arthritis - often

benefit the most from an exercise program that includes lifting weights a few times each week.

Strength training, particularly in conjunction with regular aerobic exercise, can also have a profound im-pact on a person’s mental and emotional health. CDC further reiterates the importance of exercise and strength training: scientific research has shown that exercise can slow the physiological aging clock. While aerobic exer-cise, such as walking, jogging, or swimming, has many excellent health benefits - it maintains the heart and lungs and increases cardiovascular fitness and endur-ance - it does not make your muscles strong. Strength training does.

Studies have shown that lifting weights two or three times a week increases strength by building muscle mass and bone density. Strength training programs can also have a profound effect on reducing risk for falls, which translates to fewer fractures.

Watching people’s lives transform as a result of regu-lar strength training exercises is a privilege and a joy. Seniors from Ashcroft and Cache Creek have been tak-ing charge of their health and many have transformed from a life of pain, pills, and limitations to active lives filled doing the things they want to do.

One Senior, because of pain, thought it may be time to resolve that the things she once enjoyed were a thing of the past. However, after a few months of regular strength training, she was not only gardening and riding her horse again, she was also able to run!

This is not an isolated story, there are many others like it. It is said that 20 per cent of chronic illness is de-pendent on genetics while 80 per cent is a result of a healthy way of life. So, if we can do something about chronic illness and our quality of life, let’s follow the ex-ample of Seniors in our area and make regular exercise including strength training a part of daily life.

Strength training good for seniors

Life on Ashcroft’s main street: The ill-fated Cargile Hotel

The Cargile Hotel, to the right of the square-fronted white building at centre, might be Ashcroft’s most unlucky building. The Credit Union currently occupies the site.

There was once a time when Railway Avenue in Ashcroft boasted three hotels, built to cater to the steady stream of travelers heading north.

Ashcroft was the last sta-tion on the Canadian Paci� c line before the railroad made a sharp turn and headed east, so anyone wanting to trav-el north disembarked here. In anticipation of this in� ux of business, John Barnes - who owned the land through which the CPR would run - built the Thompson Riv-er Hotel before the townsite had even been surveyed.

He situated his hotel near where he thought the railway would build its tracks, near to where the River Inn is today, and was probably some-what dismayed when the CPR put the tracks - and the station and depot - at some distance from his hotel.

Nothing daunted, he dismantled the Thompson River Hotel and moved it to a site on Railway Av-enue opposite the station, so that it was the � rst thing anyone arriving in town would see. It was renamed the Ashcroft Hotel, once the new town had settled on a name, and there are doubtless many readers who can remember its second incarnation (the origin-al hotel burned down in the 1916 � re) on the site of where the Post Of� ce now stands (the rebuilt Ash-croft Hotel burned down in 1974).

A second hotel, called the Cariboo Exchange, was built at the corner of 3rd and Railway, and at some point in the 1890s another hotel was built dir-ectly beside it, with the two buildings merging under the name of the Grand Central Hotel. It, too, burned down in the 1916 � re, but was rebuilt, and still stands today.

R.D. Cumming, the editor and owner of The Journal from 1912 to 1938, referred to these two ho-tels as the “Best” (the Ashcroft) and the “Next Best” (the Grand Central) hotels in some of his humorous “Skookum Chuck Fables”. He fails to mention the third hotel, however (the “Least Best”?), which was the Cargile Hotel, located where the Credit Union now stands.

Cumming’s reticence is probably justi� ed, for if

any one adjective could be used to de-scribe the Cargile, “ill-fated” would be at

the top of the list, closely fol-lowed by “unlucky”, with “un-fortunate” (and maybe even “cursed”) not far behind.

The hotel was the brain-child of early settler William Cargile, who took over the run-ning of Hat Creek Ranch in 1881 (many maps of the prov-ince still designate that area as “Carguile” or “Carquile”, a misspelling of Cargile’s sur-name). He had come to the re-gion from Yale, and in 1887 ar-ranged for an existing hotel in that town to be dismantled and shipped by rail to Ashcroft, where it would

be re-erected. It had worked for the Thomp-son River Hotel, after all; what could go wrong?

This was in March of 1887; and as Ashcroft resi-dents know, the March winds here can be a � erce thing indeed. This is especially true during an un-usually warm March, when hot air accumulates in the valley during the day and begins to rise dur-ing the evening, allowing cooler air to rush in to � ll the vacuum, creating windstorms in the process. When the hotel pieces arrived, workmen began as-sembling them, in a process that must have looked like putting together a 3-D jigsaw puzzle; but they hadn’t quite got round to nailing things in place when the wind struck, knocking the entire structure down like a house of cards. The Inland Sentinel news-paper (Kamloops) reported the incident in a remark-ably matter-of-fact way, stating simply that “Mr. Car-gile’s new hotel was blown down by a gust of wind last week.”

The whole process began again, and this time the hotel was put together without further mishap. By July 1887 the Cargile Hotel was ready to go. Mrs. Steffen, the wife of a CP railway employee in town, said that the hotel was “expensively furnished and with a good stock of liquor”. She was in a position to know, for she and her husband were two of the � rst guests when the Cargile opened for business. Not for long, however. In August 1887 a � re started in the hotel’s kitchen, and the entire structure burned to the ground, with almost nothing saved (except Mrs. Stef-

fen’s sewing machine, which was rescued by one of the men � ghting the � re).

William Cargile rebuilt the hotel, and all was well until 1892, when the hotel once more burned to the ground, this time with the loss of one person, a man named Thomas Walker. The Cargile was re-built again, presumably on the basis that “the fourth time’s the charm”. Either that, or William Cargile was an incredibly determined man, one who wasn’t going to let wind or � re get in his way. Even he, how-ever, could not keep going forever, and in 1894 he died; he lies buried in the Ashcroft cemetery, half-a-mile from the hotel that he managed to keep going despite a string of disasters that would have discour-aged many another person.

The Cargile Hotel continued for another 22 years after his death. A Mr. Nelson took it over, and doubt-less did the best he could, but the hotel was never as popular as the Ashcroft or the Central, and only seems to have been full when a special event brought larger than usual crowds to town.

In 1916 the same � re that destroyed the town’s other two hotels also laid waste to the Cargile; but while the Ashcroft and the Central were eventually rebuilt, there was to be no such resurrection for the Cargile, no phoenix-like springing from the ashes. It had clung to life for more than three decades, but � re was its eventual undoing. The Central Hotel lives on in fact; the Ashcroft Hotel lives on in memory; and the Cargile Hotel lives on in the dusty annals of his-tory, a part of Ashcroft’s early days that is no more.

What is the TNRD Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System about?

The new Notice Enforcement Bylaw sets out the penalties and the period for paying or disputing Bylaw Notices received for violating the provisions of the campground, building regulations, unsightly premises, dangerous dogs, zoning, solid waste, noise control and water system regulations bylaws. The bylaw also allows for a dispute adjudication system to resolve disputes in relation to issued Bylaw Notices.

When does it come in to effect?

Notice Enforcement Bylaw No. 2500 comes into effect April 1, 2015.

Why is the new program being introduced?

The system is intended to resolve bylaw violations and notice disputes in a simple, cost-effective manner. The new Bylaw Notice Dispute Adjudication System will improve efficiencies in the area of paying and collecting fines as well as delivering a streamlined process to the public.

How will it affect me?

If you receive a Bylaw Notice for violating one of the TNRD bylaws listed above, you will have 30 days to either pay the fine or dispute the Notice through the Dispute Adjudication System without having to go through the Provincial court system (which can take up to 6 months). An independent adjudicator will hear the dispute instead, possibly resolving the dispute in one month.

What are the benefits?

The new system will provide the following benefits:

Simplifies and expedites the dispute processes by removing minor bylaw violations from the Provincial court system;

Reduces costs associated with using the court system (lawyers and the time spent by enforcement officers waiting to testify);

Includes dedicated staff members (the Screening Officers) to act as a resource to help residents dealing with bylaw tickets and the dispute process.

Allows residents to dispute tickets in-person, in writing or over the phone; Provides additional flexibility to encourage bylaw compliance as opposed

to a strict enforcement focused system.

How do I get more information?

For more information, please contact [email protected] or visit the TNRD website at www.tnrd.ca.

GARBAGE PICK-UP



Always open to suggestions for more activitiesWe had a very select lunch

and meeting on March 19 with only 12 members present, but it was very harmonious and pro-ductive.

Alice Durksen updated us about the Wellness and Health Action Coalition’s plans to get us better medical services. They are advertising and spreading the news, both here and abroad, searching for doctors to come here. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that they are successful.

Reports from all our other activities show a steady or even slowly grow-ing turnout. The bus trip to Anglemont is still on, but would be more definite with one or two more names on the list. Drop in and add yours for a most enjoy-able day out, with an extremely humor-ous presentation when you get there!

Our “kitchen boss” Nola has taken some time off due to illness, just like our Bingo lady, Barb. We wish them both a speedy return to good health and comfort. Their absence has made us more aware now of much we depend on our members to volunteer for jobs. When the pressgangs used to roam the streets to sweep up men to serve in the navy, the saying was, “One volunteer is worth more than 10 pressed men” and it still rings true today. To keep our “ves-sel” -group - afloat, we need our mem-bers more than ever.

Elections are com-ing up in May for the positions of President, Vice-President, Sec-retary and Treasurer. Candidates for these positions must, ac-cording to our Con-stitution and By-laws, have attended five monthly meetings since last May. How-ever, there are many other jobs available to anyone who is willing to give some time oc-casionally for special events such as Teas, Bazaars, Tournaments or just plain running of the centre.

When I was very young, I asked my Grandmother what made her soup so tasty, and she told me it was “intilt” soup - it had everything in-tilt -into - it! I have suggested that start-ing in September, af-ter the summer break, that we have an “In-tilt Afternoon” when we would be open for a variety of activities and each of us could take part in a variety of things or only one, whichever pleased us best. Your input and suggestions, please, along with armchair exercise, Pool, quiz-zes, reading circle,

learning about public speaking - any-thing goes! Would you support this and do you think it would work for us? What would you like to see happening at the Centre?

The meeting closed with a surprise visit from Steve Rice who gave us an informative rundown on his work as a TNRD director, and the things he hopes to achieve. He gave us informa-tion about the demolition of the Bridge and even managed to find some buyers of the ingenious memorabilia of the old bridge! What a salesman he is - long may he continue as a voice for our area.

The next monthly meeting will be on April 14. Potluck lunch and visit-ing at noon and meeting at 1pm. Please mark it on your calendar in big red let-ters, and attend if you possibly can.

I’ve often heard it said that a good secretary is as good as her/his weight in gold to any company, organization or club, and that she/he is what keeps the wheels turning smoothly. We are very fortunate in our secretary, Donna Tetrault . Like many of our members, she was born in Vancouver and while

she was growing up she moved around in Greater Vancouver and to Vancouver Island. On finishing High School, she studied Psychiatric Nursing at Esson-dale, and then for the next 29 years she was employed in various nursing pos-itions at Woodlands School.

In 1963, she met a young man called Paul from Brieux, Saskatch-ewan. His family moved to New West-minster, where they put down roots.

Donna and Paul married in1964 and now, 50 years on, they have two sons, four grandsons and a granddaughter.

Donna and Paul lived in Surrey while their children were at school. Later, they moved to Qualicum Bay with thoughts of retiring there later on, but after 11 years, a combination of rain and arthritis led the two of them to look for drier climes elsewhere. They looked for a place where they thought they could be healthy and happy, and in 2004 they found it here, in Cache Creek, where they are happy to say, “We enjoy the people and the climate here, and here we stay!”

You can meet Donna and Paul most Tuesdays and Fridays when Donna Carpet Bowls, and after about 2pm both of them can be found play-ing games of Wizard and enjoying the company. Drop in and say “Hello!”

ON A BRIGHTER

NOTE

Music to him, noise to meThis past Sunday I

went to my little film studio to write. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot and saw the van belonging to one of the neigh-bouring business own-ers, I knew what I’d be greeted with when I opened the doors: his loud music coming through the walls.I fired up my com-

puter, put some lunch in the microwave and reluctantly went over to knock on the locked door of his store which was closed for the day. When he opened it I asked if he would please turn the volume down. This wasn’t the first time I’d made this request.“Let me hear how

loud it is,” he scoffed in disbelief. “Because it’s not loud in here.”

I completely dis-agreed but I didn’t want to argue and led him next door to my studio. I again tried to explain that one of the reasons I rent this of-fice space is so I have a quiet place to escape my rowdy house of kids, dogs and distrac-tions.“This isn’t loud at

all,” he declared, when we reached my desk. “Granted, I am hard of hearing.”

“I’m not hard of hearing,” I said. “And even with earplugs in I can still hear it.” He rolled his eyes at my predicament. I then asked him to consider wearing headphones if he wanted to listen to his songs at such a high volume.“Why should I?” he

asked. “I’m working and this is my day off.”I told him I was

working as well, and this wasn’t my day off and I was unable to concentrate with the muffled sounds of his booming stereo and heavy bass notes com-ing through the wall.He said I was just go-

ing to have to live with it because he wasn’t turning it down and recommended I wear earplugs. I repeated that I’d already tried

that and if he didn’t stop invading my space I’d complain to the landlord. He laughed.“I can hear your

microwave,” he said walking up to it. ”That’s louder than my music. I’m go-ing to complain that your microwave is too loud.”Annoyed by the large

man’s intimidation method of close-talk-ing and blatant con-descension I told him to leave. He walked out shaking his head, remarking on how I was just embarrassing myself.“You realize you’re

being ridiculous, right?” he asked as he opened the door.A couple of hours

later he came by to say he’d changed the position of his speak-ers away from my wall but turned the volume and bass up and asked if it was any worse. I told him it was at the same intrusive level of noise and I remained unable to concentrate on writing.“Well, this is your

problem not mine,” he said dismissively.

“You’ll have to rent a place in the mountains if you want something quiet.”When I told him I

didn’t wish to fight he said of course I didn’t because I would just be embarrassing my-self if I complained. I informed him that I’d already emailed the landlord.“You must be really

embarrassed you did that,” he said. I was not.Without stating his

business or my loca-tion, I had also shared the experience on Facebook and quickly received a vast array of possible solutions.Among many, I was

encouraged to order food from every take out place in town to be delivered to his address; take a ham-

mer over and shut his stereo off myself; and allow a group of my biggest, strongest male friends to show up at his store and in-spire him to be more polite.None of that was my

style, but I liked the strategy several people recommended: turn-ing my stereo towards his wall and playing on repeat “The Bird is the Word,” “Let it Go,” or one of the other funny songs mentioned.“Crank it full blast

and then leave,” one friend advised.More suggestions

followed and after tol-erating the situation all day until he was gone, I read a com-ment proposing I find the breaker box be-cause every box has a

main breaker. Bingo. Why hadn’t I thought of that?Our two spaces used

to be undivided years prior, so the control panel in my studio actually controls the electricity in his store as well.Apparently I have

more than one option to turn what my dis-respectful, arrogant and very noisy neigh-bour insisted was my problem alone into his problem as well. Hopefully he learns to be a considerate per-son so I don’t have to try any of them out.He was certainly

right about one thing. I am embarrassed - for him.Lori Welbourne is a

VILLAGE OF CACHE CREEKOf� cial Zoning Map - Schedule A


by Esther Darlington MacDonaldMany colourful characters emerge

from the history of the Fraser and Thompson canyons in the 1870’s and 1880’s. The pictures painted of the people and the hamlets of that era are, frankly, not terribly flattering. Today’s neat and tidy streets and avenues in Lytton, as well as Yale, might well be unsettled to know that their habitats were once, far less so. In fact, they were described as downright ‘rotten’ by the Reverend G.M. Grant in his book, Ocean to Ocean: Sandford Fleming’s Expedition Through Canada 1872.

The only exception was the Globe Hotel in Lytton, a veritable beacon of comfort and fine cuisine amid the squalor of huts, unpainted and not even white washed.

Louis Hautier was a Belgian, born in July 1822. He arrived in Califor-nia in 1855, married there, and moved to Victoria in the spring of 1859, after gold was discovered on the Fraser Riv-er. He soon realized that the establish-ment of a hotel in Lytton might well prove a good business venture.

Leaving his pregnant wife in Vic-toria, he made the arduous trip to Lyt-ton. It didn’t seem to matter to Haut-ier that the surrounding temporary shacks, huts and tents occupied by the gold seekers would scarcely qual-ify as permanent residents. But his im-peccable appreciation of quality, along with a spirit that must have been in-domitable, set him about having the ho-tel built, and built in the best possible taste.

Sandford Fleming’s Expedition Through Canada in 1872 made refer-ence to the Globe Hotel described as a ‘hostelry’. The group stayed over-night at Cornwalls (Ashcroft Manor), and proceeded through rain, gusty winds and hillsides of rock where the only route was over narrow ledges that Simon Fraser had described as ‘death

defying’ only a few years earlier. To-wards the end of the day, the exped-ition finally approached the village at the junction of the Thompson and Fra-ser Rivers. Though the outside of the ‘house’ (hotel) did not look at all prom-ising, they were amazed by the change inside. In the dining room, Mr. Haut-ier and his pretty wife had comfort-able rooms available, and the company dined sumptuously on petit gout de mouton, ‘with fixings’.

The clientele of the Hotel however, was a different proposition. ‘Dirty, drunken’ miners prevailed, calling out invitations for the guests to partake of claret, champagne, brandy, whatever their weary harts desired. They were advised to ‘Go through the form so as not to give offence’.

A very big Irish man named Patrick Kilroy, a butcher, became a thorn in the side of Hautier. One day, Hautier heard something about himself and his family attributed to Kilroy, that had the hotel man approach the big burly man, with a revolver in the pocket of his jacket. He took a strong ‘cudgel’ in hand, and ap-proached the butcher. Kilroy was stand-ing in the doorway of his shop. Haut-ier described the slanderer ‘in plain lan-guage’, and shook his stick at Kilroy to emphasize his remarks.

The butcher, more than a ‘bit of a bully’ did not appreciate the manner and the shaking stick of this puny little man who had dared to approach him. He was accustomed to saying anything he wished to say about anybody pass-ing, however disparaging. The facts did not interest the butcher if it entertained others and made a good story.

With stick in his left hand, and his right hand on his revolver in the pocket of his jacket, Hautier tilted the revolver and fired. The bullet struck a glancing blow off Kilroy’s forehead. The over 200 pound butcher fell heavily to the ground, blood streaming from his head,

and blackened by powder from the gun. The only witness to the incident was a man named Shal-lou. A number of people, attracted to the explosion of the revolver, arrived on the scene. They ran to Kilroy’s assistance and took him to a doctor. Meanwhile, the pistol remained in the pocket of Hautier’s jacket.

The butcher was known to be ‘tight fisted’ with his money and Dr. McInnes refused to treat Kilroy unless he was paid. Bill McWha, the proprietor of the Lytton Hotel, offered to pay the doctor. Knowing McWha to be a ‘man of his word’, the doctor proceeded to clean and dress the wound, which, in the end left no scar on Kilroy’s forehead. Mc-Wha was dismayed to be charged $300 by the doctor, a goodly sum in those days. Nevertheless, he paid.

Kilroy then made a complaint against Hautier, and the hotel man was committed to trial at the assizes held in Yale. Shal-lou was the star witness. Now Kilroy had had ‘many conversa-tions with the witness’ and would give him all the meat he wanted in the belief that Shal-lou would testify to Kilroy’s credit. He hired A. Rocke Robertson to be his counsel. Judge Mathew Begbie officiated. Shal-lou told what he had seen in a straightforward manner. All the bribes and blandishments of Kil-roy had failed to make him tell ‘noth-ing but the truth’. He told the court of the vicious attack Kilroy had made on Hautier, and that the hotel man had shot Kilroy in self defence. The fact was, that Kilroy had wrested the stick out of Hautier’s hand and had hit the hotel man with it. Judge Begbie asked Kil-roy if he had done so, and the butcher hedged and would not say. Impatient with the evasions, Begbie threatened to lay a contempt of court charge against him. Kilroy was ordered to be locked up for six hours, and Hautier was ac-quitted.

Violence at home

Be careful who you slander

Man charged with assaultMarch 22 at 2:50 am po-

lice received a report of a do-mestic assault at an Ashcroft residence. The 32 year old woman was waiting at the Detachment for police to arrive. The 33 year old man was located still at their residence. He was arrested and charged with assault before being released with orders not to have have any contact with the victim or return to their home. There were no injuries reported.

Moved to a better placeMarch 24 at 9:30 am police received a re-

port of an intoxicated man hitchhiking north on Hwy 97 near the Loon Lake turnoff. Clin-ton RCMP reached the man first and moved him to a safer place to hitchhike. The 29 year old Smithers man was not intoxicated.

Police from p. 2

Kilroy from p. 13 Apparent-ly, when Kilroy

died, he left a small estate. In 1869, his brother-in-law knowing of the money held in a Philadelphia bank to the tune of $1,500 with inter-est accrued, made an affidavit that the butcher had died intestate in 1861. He then took the money out of the bank in his wife’s name. The bank was reluc-tant at first, but provid-ed with the necessary security, finally paid the money over.

If there is a moral to this tale, it probably lies in the danger of ut-tering slander. Not everyone car-ries a revolver in his jacket pock-et to avenge slander, but what goes around, eventually comes back to haunt you, as it did the Lytton butcher named Patrick Kilroy.
