Town facing a large shortfall after flood

Cleaning up after a disaster isn’t cheap, as the Village of Cache Creek will tell you.

At the June 8 Council meeting, Acting Ad-ministrator Gayle Olson informed the council-lors that their bank account is zero at the mo-ment. The Village, however, has $1.3 million in mutual funds that it can access and she said she would be making a withdrawal this week to cover the bills that are pouring in.

Mayor John Ranta said the repairs to Stage Road will cost approximately $1 million and Old Cariboo Road, about $350,000. The Village is also paying contractors to clean, sweep and repair as needed. He estimated that it would cost the Village $1.9 million altogether to repair its infrastructure.

“Recoverable costs will fall short by 20 per-cent,” he said, noting that disaster assistance only covers up to 80 per cent, “or $400,000. We’ve told them that represents more than one year’s residential tax charges, so it will set us back a bit.”

He said the Village couldn’t raise taxes to make up the shorfall, not after what the resi-dents have been through, so they may have to dip into its Landfill Legacy Fund to pay for the remainder of the repairs, or it could recover the costs over a longer perior of time.

“It remains to be seen,” he said.Coun. David Dubois asked if the standard

bid process applied for contractors doing the clean up work.

The mayor replied that the acting adminis-trator, through consultation with Public Works foreman, hired a local Cache Creek contractor for the initial work.

“We’ve made it known to contractors that we’re paying Blue Book rates,” said Olson.

Blue Book rates for construction and clean up work are used by the provincial government.

The Village is hiring a sweet sweeper to go over the streets again this week, and is consid-er how to clean the debris out of the creek, from near Brookside Campground to the river.

“I’m delighted with the progress we’ve made to date” with the cleanup Mayor Ranta stated after the meeting.

He said he felt badly for those who had been devastated by loss of their possessions and homes, but “the resilience of the community is demonstrated every single day” as neighbours help neighbours and help comes in from around the province.

Skips Run carries on with heartMost of the runners at Skips Charity Run on Sunday were happy to just jog along and enjoy the heat, while others were out for the challenge for the Lions Club’s annual fundraiser.

What is ideal health care?

Most residents will have seen the Interior Health announcement with questions and answers regard-ing services changes at the Ash-croft Hospital and Health Centre which was published a few weeks ago. If you have not already seen it you can access it on our web-site www.whac-chb.ca. Please let us know if you have questions that were not covered there so that we may make that information avail-able to you and others via the press and our website.

Regarding prescriptions, the local Peoples pharmacy is here to help during this time. They will do anything they can within their mandate to assure continuity of care. If you have questions visit them at the pharmacy.

On our website, we are tracking what people see as the ideal health care for Ashcroft and our surround-ing catchment area. It would be helpful to get your response to the question, “If health were work-ing, what would it look like? How would we know it was working?” www.whac-chb.ca .

If you are a novice at navigat-ing websites, click on one of the choices at the bottom of the picture that appears when the site opens. To comment click on “issues”, then click again to read through and re-spond to the issue you wish. You may also go directly to “contact

us” to comment. Click on “Essen-

tial Reading” to find the latest from the Ministry of Health. At present you will find the recent Rural

Health Policy Discussion Paper and Patient-centred Care Frame-work as well as the 2014 Setting Priorities for the BC Health Sys-tem.

Two of the items from our May meeting to report to you are that WHAC will be asking Inter-ior Health to be designated as a pri-mary care team based facility with upgrading of the nurses to allow the Ashcroft site to become a pri-mary care facility. WHAC mem-bers also approved in principle the concept of a project manager to work with our catchment area to make health care an economic de-velopment priority.

Nancy Kendall, the director of Better At Home, advised us that she is in need of volunteer drivers. Please call her at 453-9911 if you can assist.

The next WHAC meeting will be held June 15 from 2-4 in the hospital board room. The commit-tee will continue to meet regularly during the summer months.

If you are not a member of WHAC, please join. Membership applications ($5 for year member-ship) are available at People’s Drug Mart. The more members we can report, the more influence we have with the decision and policy mak-ers at every level.

Not enough roomMay 30 at 9 am police

were called to the Red Hills rest stop on Hwy 1 after a Freightliner towing a 53-foot trailer made too sharp a turn exiting the rest area and got partially stuck in the ditch, blocking most of the highway. A tow truck was called and a vehicle inspec-tion done which revealed the axle was set to far back on the trailer, affecting the turn-ing radius. A CVSE officer issued a violation ticket for the axle and ordered an in-spection of the vehicle. The driver was a 58 year old man from Portland, Oregon. He was driving the truck from Alaska to Oregon.

Rebellious sonMay 30 at 11 pm police

were called to the parking lot of the Bear Claw in Cache Creek were a woman was arguing with a intoxicated male. The 40 year old Wil-liams Lake woman was try-ing to convince her 23 year old son to return to Williams Lake with her. He eventually calmed down and agreed to accompany her.

Smoking is badJune 1 at 8 am police at-

tended a single vehicle acci-dent on Hwy 99 near Mor-gan Rd. after a westbound

Chevro-let Impala hit the rock face, caus-ing heavy damage to the front and side of the car, making it undriveable. The driver, a 35 year old Cache Creek man, said he dropped his cigarette in his lap while driving and served into the rock face as he tried to fish it out. He suffered a small cut to his wrist and was served a ticket for driving without consideration.

Sudden deathJune 1 at 6 pm police

were called to attend a sud-den death on a property along Hwy 97 after a 65 year old Ashcroft man was found deceased near a vehicle he was supposed to pick up. He appears to have died of nat-ural causes.

Hit and runJune 3 police were ad-

vised of a hit and run on Lombardy Dr. in the Sage and Sands Trailer Park in Cache Creek. Around 12:40 am a black or dark coloured pickup with a lift backed into a 1981 Toyota pickup truck.

Witnesses are asked to call the RCMP at 453-2261.

Words exchangedJune 4 at 3:30 pm po-

lice were called to a fight in progress on the Ashcroft Re-serve between four or five adult men. The fight was over by the time police ar-rived, but four men were still present and advised po-lice that they’d had an alter-cation with another group in a white Nissan pickup truck. The pickup was located and stopped on Hwy 97 north of Cache Creek. The three oc-cupants denied being in a fight and said it was strictly verbal. They were all warned to stay away from each other.

The driver, a 63 year old Kamloops man, displayed symptoms of impairment and was given a sobriety test by a traffic services offi-cer. He blew a Warn and was given a three-day driving suspension. His vehicle was

towed to a friend’s house.

House fire in AshcroftJune 5 at 4 pm police

were called to assist the Ash-croft Fire Dept. with a house fire on Mesa Vista Dr. It ap-pears that the homeowner was working on his boat in the carport when fuel from the boat caught on fire and spread quickly to the house where it did substantial damage. The exterior of the house next door was also damaged. No one but the 26 year old man was injured. He suffered second degree burns on his arms and up-per body and was airlifted to Kamloops for immediate treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Assault with a chairJune 6 at 2:25 am police

were called to an Ashcroft residence were an intoxicat-ed 22 year old female had thrown a chair and then a bottle at her 23 year old boy-friend. He suffered cuts and bruises from the altercation. She was arrested and faces a charge of assault with a weapon.

Flood damage repairs will be costly

Shayna Van Tine (left) and father Kim Van Tine (right) with a group of young volunteers from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints, who helped dig the mud out of their basement on the weekend.

(L-R): Former NDP MLA Harry Lali came to help flood victims Tony and Aurora Kovacs (right) clean up their property with Fred Buckland and Myron Buckland after the May 23 flood in Cache Creek.

Flood victim denied provincial assistance

BlackPress4Good and the United Way have been collecting donations for the victims of the May 23 flash flood in Cache Creek. As of Tues-day morning, $108,130 had been collected.

Seventy-seven homes were affected and four families still remain living in motel rooms. Al-though many residents have returned to their houses, ESS Director and Cache Creek Coun-cillor Lisa Dafoe estimates that several will need new hot water tanks and furnaces, and most af-fected homes will need between $20-$40,000 in repairs.

Half a million for residential relief, is her guess.

At least one home owner has had his appli-cation for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) denied. And if approved, DFA only covers up to 80 per cent of specific rooms in the house.

Cache Creek Councillor Wyatt McMurray suspects there will be more denials.

“I think as a Council we should be extending our hand to help them plead their appeals rather than forgetting about them,” he said. “We need to get that out there.”

The fundraising is already in place, he said, but “I think there’s a political piece to it. I think there are some who have probably been denied who would rather walk away from it than ap-peal. I’m not suggesting we give them money, but what little political clout we have to help them appeal...”

Businesses and groups who have made sub-stantial donations include: United Steelworkers Local 7619 and 1-417, Constantia HDI, United Way, IG Machine & Fibre, Husky, Graymount Western, King Enterprises Ltd., North East-ern Enterprises, Cache Creek Veterinary, De-sert Hills Ranch, Ashcroft 7th Day Adventists, Pacific Bentonite, Ashcroft & District Lions, and Royal LePage.

The McGinley Family Troupe from Barker-ville’s Theatre Royal performed a benefit for Cache Creek at Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on June 5. The one night show and auction raised $6,122! Leslie Alexander and WRAPS raised over $2,000 on May 29, there is another benefit in Logan Lake on June 19 and the Vil-lage of Cache Creek is planning one in July.

Go to www.cachecreekvillage.com if you wish to donate.

Kim Van Tine was a happy man on Saturday afternoon: he, his family and a volunteer work crew from the Church of Jesus Christ-mas of the Latter-Day Saints had just finished digging the mud that was two feet deep from their basement.

Now that that’s done, he can get the electrical and gas work done. The big thing, he said, is getting the services back up and running so they can move back into their house.

Although they have a yellow card in their win-dow, indicating significant

damage to be repaired be-fore the electricity and gas can be reconnected, the Van Tines have already been de-nied Disaster Financial As-sistance.

Van Tine applied for as-sistance on the Friday mor-ning following the May 23 flood. The next day he re-ceived his letter of denial. He’s now working on his ap-peal, which can take up to 30 days to decide.

“We’re just asking to cover the basics,” he said. “Services and stuff that makes a house liveable.”

The cache creek runs be-

hind their house. It’s nor-mally a pleasant little stream that burbles along Hwy 1 east of town. It runs through a culvert under Quartz Rd. and then another under Hwy 97 until it enters the Bona-parte River behind the Cache Creek Elementary School.

On May 23, debris car-ried along by heavy rain-water blocked the large cul-verts and caused the water to divert around them.

For a while, said Van Tine, the creek bed behind their house was dry as the water diverted through their neighbour’s garage and

through their front yard.

It entered the creek bed again by Quartz Rd., only to di-vert over that culvert, carry-ing water and mud through the firehall.

Not only did it course through their front yard, it filled their basement with six feet of water and left be-hind two feet of mud.

“Like every-one else, a flash flood was the last thing we expected,” said Van Tine.

He said at

first he didn’t think anything about the rain. Then he no-ticed a TV float by, and then a couch. He looked out the front window and saw traffic backed up on the highway, thinking to himself, “This can’t be good.”

Right about then, the creek started diverting into his basement.

“When mother nature decides to take a little swipe, it’s quite impressive,” he said, adding that it was a blessing no one was killed or seriously hurt.

“I think people have a false expectation of what the province is going to provide for them,” he said.

The destruction to people’s homes has been tremendous, he said, and people are in shock. They listen with hope when the Premier promises to “err on the side of compassion.”

He says he would like to speak with MLA Jackie Tegart about his assistance claim. She hasn’t been avail-able, he says, but her staff has been very helpful.

“I think as our MLA she would have the ability to speak to the Premier about it in detail,” he said. “When you’re in a disaster situation, you want to do things quick-ly.”

“I’ve lived and worked in BC for 58 years and never once asked for anything,” he said, “but this time we could use some help.”

Dear editorSome people may have noticed

that the cedars at the Cenotaph have had a hair cut and their legs are showing more. I would like to thank Scott Kelley for his help and use of his truck, and Steve Clark for the use of his trailer. I would also like to thank Ron Jones for his scaffold-ing and the use of his hedge trim-mer at no cost which saved us about two hours work.

Thanks for the assistance

We are quickly finding out just how much garbage we can throw into the ocean before those bottomless depths fill up.

We toss away garbage like a shopahol-ic spends, and the ocean is our credit card. Dead zones and blobs continue to expand and proliferate, affecting the creatures who live in and on the oceans and possibly even having an affect on our weather.

Oceans cover two-thirds of our plan-et. There are now 400 dead zones in oceans around the world; the north Pacific is home of the Pacific Trash Vortex which is a float-ing mass of garbage - plastics, styrofoam, old fishing gear, etc. - about the size of Texas; another massive garbage patch was been discovered in 2010 in the North Atlan-tic, a few hundred km off the North Amer-ican coastline.

Now there’s The Blob - a huge mass of warm water sitting on top of the usual-ly cool Pacific along the coast from Oregon to Alaska. The water is two degrees warm-er than normal, which may not sound like a lot, but it is enough to change the nature of food sources and provide a challenge for cold-water fish like salmon. Some scientists say it is likely responsible for the so far un-explained deaths of thousands of Cassin’s auklets, which washed up on Pacific shores last December.

Also washing up on Pacific coastlines is the debris from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011, which clearly shows us that what goes into the ocean on one side of the world will migrate. More worrisome than the solid debris is the nuclear waste-water leaked by the Fukushima nuclear power station during that time.

That happened one year after BP’s drill-ing rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, pouring oil, natural gas and toxic sludge into the ocean for 87 days. They had no dis-aster plan in place to address such a catas-trophe, and there is still none required , even though there are more rigs in the Gulf of Mexico now than there were then.

Eighty per cent of the marine garbage comes from land-based activities. We all need to cut back on our waste-causing con-sumption, and it begins with us, the con-sumer. Share the message.

Summer Arts Camp returns in August at CCES Busted, John Kid-der, Jennifer Fer-

guson, Brian Benner and Denise Tapia, Nadine Davenport and Kirk Watson.

Our summers are warm in Ashcroft, so be sure to bring your blanket or lawn chair and your friends and family every second Wednesday evening begin-ning in June. The days may be hot - but Music in the Park is really, really cool! (Admission is free, but a donation into the hat is warmly appreciated.)

The Ashcroft/Cache Creek Cast of “My Fair Lady”!

In late April and May WRAPS hosted a series of open auditions to se-lect the cast for it’s upcoming com-munity theatre project “My Fair Lady”. Many of the successful auditionees will be doing double duty by playing two of the 40 different roles! Now that is en-thusiasm and commitment!

Those of you who have seen previ-ous WRAPS theater productions may recognize many of the names appearing on the roster. “Veteran” actors such as John Kidder, Nancy Duchaine, Jim Mclean, Jan Schmitz, Connie Walk-em, Barb Roden, Andrea Bona and the wonderful Jean Burgess (whose per-formance as “Puck” in Midsummer Night Midterm stole the show!) all re-turn to lend their talents to another chal-lenging yet exciting theatre production.

WRAPS is happy to also welcome a number of new faces to our local stage

- all with varying degrees of theatre and performing experience. And since this IS a musical after all, we are especial-ly thrilled with the inclusion of many members of the Sage Sound Singers Choir! Dave Gory, Kevin and Linda Lennox, Dan Collet and Marina Papais, Sharon Ambler, Kathleen Gunn, Pam-ela Ainge, Kirk Watson and Theresa Takacs - all will be lending their won-derful singing voices to make this show especially magical. We also welcome from Kamloops Mr. Gerald Young as Freddy Eynsford-Hill. And making sure all the voices come together in per-fect harmony is Michelle Reid as the play’s Musical Director.

They are also are thrilled to have a number of young people join the cast! Many of them are already amongst the ranks of the “veterans” of local com-munity theatre productions. We all re-member the great performances of the young “McLean Gang” - Cecelia, Viv-ian and Lieth - as well as Oriana Du-bois. New youngsters appearing on stage in various roles will be Matthias Sampson, Jacob Aie and Se-quoya Wiebe.

And of course, the Direc-tor of this WRAPS Theatre presentation will be the fan-tastically talented Mavourn-een Varcoe-Ryan, whose skill, leadership and experience has been the guiding force behind the success of all of the past

community plays that the residents of the Ashcroft/Cache Creek area have enjoyed over the years.

Kids summer Arts Camp returns Winding Rivers Arts and Perform-

ance Society is pleased to announce that this year’s Fine and Dramatic Arts Summer Camp will be bigger and bet-ter. It is designed for K-12 students.

Mill Girl Follies off to GermanyClinton’s own Mill Girl Follies

dance troupe along with Cariboo singer/songwriter Katie Kidwell will be heading to Germany at the end of the month to represent Canada in the International Folklorelawine.

This group has been fundraising for almost a year to pay the approxi-mately $12,000 in airfare to get to the Festival. They have done catering, bake sales, spa-ghetti dinners, meat draws, and much more. Through all their efforts and the support of the folks in and around Clinton and 70 Mile House they have done it. Once they

arrive their meals, accom-modations etc. are cov-ered but they needed to be able to get themselves and their costumes, etc. to Germany.

As a show of thanks for the generosity and support shown to them, on June 4 the troupe and

Kidwell put on a show in the Memorial Hall in Clinton of the numbers they will be performing. It was basically a dress rehearsal with a couple of extra numbers thrown in just to say ‘Thank You’.

The hall was packed as the performers took their places. It was a very enjoyable show and those attending said they were proud to have these performers representing Clinton, the Cari-boo, B.C. and Canada in this manner.

Well done ladies! Have a great trip and come home safely. We are so proud of each and every one of you!

PAC MeetingThe last Parent Advisory Council meeting

for this school year will be held on Monday, June 15 in the school library.

Teresa Downs will be in attendance to ex-plain the new report card system for kindergart-en to grade seven so it is important that parents of students in those grades attend.

David Stoddart School on June 13 for the 10 graduates of 2015.

They are Cody Ambler, Kelsey Ambler, Kyle Boys, Harrison Cole, Cassidy Fletcher, Keisha Fletcher, Cody Hainstock, Harry Liu, Alysha Milward and Chelsea Stephenson.

Congratulations to these fine young ladies and young men as they finish their high school

years and begin their new adventures.

Final Award DayThe final awards for David Stoddart School students

will be presented beginning at 10 a.m. on June 25 at the school.

The public is welcome to attend and watch the stu-dents receive their awards.

Sportsmen AGMThe Clinton and District Outdoor Sportsmen As-

sociation is holding their Annual General Meeting and election of officers at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 20 in the Clinton Legion Basement.

Ten Grads in Clinton’s Class of 2015

June • Week 3ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, assess a situation before acting. Only then can you have a clear view and map out an appropriate course of action. Find a friend who can help with your plan.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, a hectic week makes it hard to keep track of all the things you need to get done in the coming days. Focusing on being organized will go a long way.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, solutions to a dif� cult problem become more clear when you take a break and � nd a new perspective. This break is just what you need to crack that egg.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others are looking to you for advice, so do your best to provide thoughtful suggestions. Your point of view and demeanor make others very trusting of your advice.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 The only person who can help you this week is you, Virgo. Be optimistic and trust your instincts as you tackle the tasks at hand over the next several days.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Happy times are on the horizon, Libra. You just have to make it through a few more obstacles before you can reach the � nish line and relax.

ON A BRIGHTER

NOTE

Be who you are meant to be Bruce Jenner, the

man who became a na-tional hero during the 1976 Olympics, when he won a gold medal and broke a world re-cord in the men’s de-cathlon event had a different kind of victo-ry this week: he finally revealed himself to the world as a woman.The cover and photo

spread showing his new identity in Vanity Fair magazine titled “Call me Caitlyn” hit the Internet on June 1, along with a request to be referred to with fe-male pronouns rather than male. The media quickly honored her wishes.A Twitter page for

Caitlyn was set up the same day and broke Barack Obama’s re-cord for the shortest time to reach one mil-lion followers, achiev-ing the mark in four hours and three min-utes.Not everyone reacted

with kudos or accep-tance though. Some were disgusted with the gender change and others by all the expo-sure this story is get-ting.For the former I’d like

to explore the reac-

tions. For the latter, I chalk that up to Bruce Jenner being a mem-ber of the most fa-mous reality TV fam-ily, the Kardashians, of which millions are tired of hearing about. Considering her new name is spelled with the letter C rather than a K like the other six women she’s related to, Caitlyn may share that sentiment on some level.I don’t watch the

popular program, but I’ve been following this particular story since the media start-ed speculating about Bruce Jenner’s gender reassignment. Photo-graphs taken over the last couple of years suggested that the famous athlete was taking on more of a feminine appearance through cosmetics

and surgery. That was confirmed in a recent exclusive interview she had with Diane Saw-yer.Knowing Bruce Jen-

ner as an Olympic champion since my childhood, I found this transformation intriguing. Especially since I have a friend who’s secretly been a cross dresser for de-cades.To protect his iden-

tity I’ll call him John. Married with children, John and his wife are from religious, con-servative families. For that reason and others he has gone to great lengths to hide his love for dressing like a woman, restricting himself to only indulg-ing when he travels out of town.When he came to

Kelowna a few years

ago from Vancouver, my girlfriend and I met up with him at a hotel and for the first time I met his female perso-na. She was lovely, and beyond happy in her beautiful dress, high heels, wig and make up.The transforma-

tion took hours, and during that time our friend was like a kid in a candy store, enjoying every moment of the process with our mu-tual pal, who helped.His impulse to dress

like a female started when he was a young boy who felt trapped in a body of the wrong gender. As a child he hid his desire to be a girl, and as an adult he has continued to hide his cravings to be a woman. When he mo-mentarily shared this side of himself with his wife early on in their relationship she expressed revulsion.Not wanting to lose

her, his family, or his reputation in the busi-ness community, John has tried repeatedly to put an end to these strong feelings, but he hasn’t been able to. His secret persists and anx-iety over its possible

discovery intensifies.Bruce Jenner felt

these same pressures and stress, with mil-lions watching and the paparazzi docu-menting as much as they could. Becoming Caitlyn at the age of 65 and finally realizing her lifelong dream of being a woman has her now feeling like her au-thentic self.“Bruce always had to

tell a lie,” she explained in her Vanity Fair in-terview. “He was al-ways living that lie. Ev-ery day, he always had a secret, from morning until night. Caitlyn doesn’t have any se-crets.”

She also said she didn’t want to end her days full of regret. “If I was lying on my

deathbed and I had kept this secret and never ever did any-thing about it, I would be lying there saying, ‘You just blew your entire life. You never dealt with yourself,’” she said.Living with this deci-

sion isn’t easy though. According to a recent U.S. National Trans-gender Discrimination Survey 41 per cent of trans or gender-non-conforming people surveyed have attempt-ed suicide – a stagger-ingly high statistic. I

hope Caitlyn’s experi-ence will inspire John, and anyone yearning to live their truth, to not be afraid of what others think, to do what makes them hap-py, and to stay strong throughout. Sharing her story, as

others before her have done, can only help to break down the bar-riers created by judg-ment and intolerance and build a foundation for the kind of respect and acceptance we all deserve as human be-ings. Lori Welbourne is a

Fresh local food makes a healthy differenceEverything is growing

and it really satisfying to see fields and trees come back to life.

Cattle are out on the range so do drive with extra care when the cattle are near the road.

In the garden there are greens to be harvested along with the asparagus; however it is nearing the time to stop picking the asparagus to let the bushes grow strong for next year. I am always sur-prised by those who think as-paragus is a difficult and ten-der crop. In my experience it is very hardy and readily self seeds with the help of birds and I find it growing in the driest most exposed places, often on the south side of a fir tree. In the winter it is the Solitare that I see fluttering around the asparagus tops to get to the berries.

I read with concern a re-port widely publicized re-cently that Canada can ex-pect to have cancer rates in-crease by 40 percent in the next 30 years. This is deep-ly troubling considering how much money has been put into cancer research. More needs to be done to identify

the causes of cancer. Many cancers now can be treated if diagnosed early enough. That requires access to doc-tors and diagnostic facilities – so should we all sell out and move to Kelowna so we can be sure we can access treatment? The other troub-ling aspect of the study as it was reported by the journal-ists is that there appears to be a widely accepted view that cancer is a lifestyle disease, eat right, keep active, don’t smoke or consume alcohol, protect your skin from the sun and tanning beds, and you are less likely to get can-cer, is the mantra.

Well really. What about all the chemicals that are listed as cancer causing or suspected of causing cancer that can be the environment? Some problem areas are con-struction materials, especial-ly in a new home, new furni-ture, in food wrappings and packaging. I miss the focus on ensuring the environment we live in is clean and free

of chemicals that are known to cause can-cer or have not been proven to be safe.

It is easy to say “eat right” but it is much, much more difficult to put into practise when the regulation on labelling manufactured food is so weak in Canada. In a discussion on labelling GMO products, I heard a spokesperson for one large factory recently dismiss any new labelling – because if they did, people wouldn’t buy it! Well, duh, that is the purpose of labelling; to let people make informed choices in what they will eat. And there are more prob-lems with labelling, like tell-ing how much sugar of all forms really is in the prod-uct. You need to be a chem-ist to truly understand some of those labels. And then of course you need to carry a magnifying glass with you to the store to be able to read the contents label on

some products. If the con-tents label is very long and in very small printing, I don’t use the product. I know of no evidence that GMO prod-ucts cause cancer; however I am a strong advocate of ad-equate labelling so the con-sumer can make an informed decision, especially when it appears that those choices we make come home to us when we are told that our lifestyle and what we ate caused our ill health.

I am glad I have a piece of land with good soil and I can grow many fresh vege-tables and fruits for my use. I am also very pleased to see the growth of local food pro-ducers for example, to see Horsting Farms back in pro-duction and using the land to offer people healthy food.

Chevalier, Eugene George (“Gene”)August 5, 1930 – June 3, 2015

It is with sadness but also with thankfulness for a beautiful life and a peaceful death that we announce the sudden passing of Gene, at home. He will be remembered with much love by his wife of 54 years, Zee (Deslauriers), and his daughters and their spouses: Anna-Marie and Doug Pollok, Jacqueline Chevalier and Edward Bebee, Alison and Stan Dybwad, Carol and Cameron Baird, and Jeanine and Joe Sallos. Gene was a loving grandfather to ten grandchildren and their families: Dawna Pollok, Matthew and Jacqui Dybwad (Lauren, Jeremy), Scott Dybwad, Jessica and Neil Johnson (Morgan, Andrew, Emelie), Matt Baird, Colin Baird, Katie and Joseph Rozario, Joey Sallos, Daniel Sallos and Lizzy Sallos, and uncle to many nieces and nephews. He is survived by his two brothers, Don (Vi) and Ted (Jo), and predeceased by his sister Gladys Wallsmith and brother-in-law Ray Wallsmith. Gene was born in New Westminster, B.C. and grew up in Port Moody, B.C. where he lived until 1988, after which he and Zee resided in Maple Ridge, B.C. until 2003, when they settled in Clinton, B.C. He retired in 1985 after thirty-seven years with Imperial Oil Ltd. (Ioco Re� nery). His memory will live on for all of us at Kelly Lake, where he spent many happy hours with his extended family. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, June 11 at St. Peter Apostle Roman Catholic Church, Clinton, B.C. In lieu of � owers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. On line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Hummingbirds and butterflies decorate the yardssauces, salsas and preserved

to last the whole season until the to-matoes are ripe again in August. These producers make it much easier for us to eat healthy food. Local ranchers pro-vide eggs as well as lamb, pork, beef and chicken. Now if only I could grow coffee beans without a greenhouse I would be well provided for.

Speaking of tomatoes, I read last year in a farm magazine that you can take cuttings from your tomato plants in the fall before the frost and root them it is easy in a jar of water. You can keep the small plants in the house over the

winter and get extra early tomatoes in the spring. I did that last fall with one tomato - a Latah variety, and in mid May I was picking fresh vine ripened tomatoes from it. My challenge is giv-ing the plants enough light during the winter and to keep the pests off the plant. Mine went down with mites and never really recovered but there still are tomatoes ripening on it.

Nature has been showing off its best crown jewels in the past month. The hummingbirds in the sun flash bright jewel like colours that outshine any-thing a jeweller can make. At Loon Lake Road we have three kinds of

hummingbirds – Rufous, black chinned and Calliope. Some people have reported seeing

the Anna’s here in the interior but so far I have seen none. And these little guys are hard to miss – in fact it is more an issue of near misses as they swish past so close that you can almost feel the air from their wings. They really do like to tease humans and I do wonder what response they are looking for. It’s not only when one is near a feeder that they do this, they also do it out in areas away from the feeders and it is unlikely that there is a nest nearby. I think they just like to tease us, because they can.

The other jewels on display are the butterflies. In my observations there are more butterflies around this year than previous years. There are small ones, medium sized ones and the big West-ern Swallowtail. They are yellow, blue,

and white with orange tips, dark grey with copper spots as well as the tortoiseshell and checkered ones.

Every time I try to study one so I can bet-ter identify it – it flut-ters off quickly so I have difficulty identi-fying them. But that is okay, they know who they are, although I would like to know what kind of food the larva eat.

I can identify the White cabbage butter-fly though and my cabbages are secure-ly behind insect net to keep that butterfly away. Cabbage full of holes somehow just isn’t that appetizing to me although it may be healthy. I agree with the French that appe-tizing and well pre-pared dishes, enjoyed in good company, go a long way toward good health. Good health everyone.

For the children

Loraine Shwaluk (right) with her daughter Tish Sjarsma and her daughter’s friend Margaret Wolfe at Casa Hogar in Puerta Vallarta earlier this year. Shwaluk and her daughter raised money locally to purchase food, vitamins and clothing for the orphans being cared for at Casa Hogar in Mexico. She raised $300 with her donation can at Safety Mart last winter, while her daughter raised $200 in Williams Lake. They would like to thank everyone for their generosity.
