Petit Creek wildfire UpdateThe evacuation alerts for Canford &

Millers Estates were rescinded to all clear on Wednesday evening, as the threat of the Petit Creek wildfire no longer posed an imminent risk to the safety of resi-dents. While it remains at an estimated 100 ha., it is considered under control.

The cause of the fire is under investi-gation but suspected to be human.

High fire danger & high winds to end

Today is likely the last day of high fire danger & high winds, as the weekend forecast is for cooler temperatures & pe-riods of rain.

This week, the danger was ‘high’, with yesterday peaking at ‘extreme’.

The Kamloops Fire Centre is expect-ing strong winds again today with gusts up to 50-60 km/hour, and urge the pub-lic and industry personnel to exercise ex-treme caution when conducting outdoor burning. They are expected to become light to moderate in the coming days.

Statement on Earth Day“While this year’s [Earth Day, Apr 22]

celebrations reflect the requirement to stay apart due to COVID-19, today is a day to recommit to the work ahead – tackling the threats of climate change and unlocking the twin benefits of cleaner communities and clean-energy economies that will de-termine the future of our planet.

“This past year has shown remarkable changes in the clean economy, despite the global pandemic. Major automakers have increased commitments to electric vehicles, pledging to phase out fossil-fuel cars. Global investors are moving trillions of dollars to build a net-zero economy. And more than 110 countries have already pledged to reach net-zero emissions.

“COVID-19 has highlighted just how interconnected we are – both within & beyond our borders. It has also shown how much can be accomplished when we work together to achieve a common purpose. — George Heyman, Min. of Env. & Climate Change Strategy

It’s just over ten years that I brought my wrig-gling, jiggling, jumping jack puppy Ace home

from the Chilliwack SPCA. A blue-black Lab Retriever cross, he was as rambunctious as they come. He was supremely long in the legs, and even as a five month old pup, he could outrun me consistently. Our first three months together were total chaos. In that span of time, he managed to chew his way through three chesterfields, forty-seven shoes of mixed vintage, and the piece de resistance, my precious petit point chair before deciding that perhaps rawhide bones weren’t so bad after all.

I originally wanted him to be a bit of a guard dog, but, oh, no, if you came to the door, he would rise up on those magnificent hind legs, push you over with his front legs and lick you half to death. It didn’t matter who you were, everybody got the same treatment. So much for being a guard dog. Ace’s pal, Bella, a righteously haughty Yorkiepoo was left to perform this duty, which is something she still enjoys doing to this day.

Ace was such a wild and free spirit that a number of doggie training instructors kindly refused to have us in their classes, citing his being”too hot to handle” as the reason they would not accept him. Never mind, Ace learned to smile through many situations. He sported a grin a mile wide which endeared him to some but not to others, who thought he was simply trying his best to get in a good solid bite. Not so. His was a gentle spirit.

As for dog grooming, we weren’t the most welcome duet in that setting either. It took two people to bathe him, and even then he was quite capable of jumping out of the tub, just because he felt like it. Jack and Leslie, thank you for your abiding patience. And as for water? Ace was the only dog I’ve ever had who loathed water, and, boy,did he ever make that known to me. We went to the lake more than a few times where Ace simply refused to get out of the car. He knew what was out there and he wasn’t having any part of it.

The rambunctiousness continued on for nearly seven years, and then one day my beautiful, sunny natured dog became ill. He could still be obstreperous, but perhaps less so in the months that lay ahead.. We had a marvelous, compassionate vet in Dr. Paul Molnar and his colleague Dr. Becky Chan who, over the next three years treated him for his ailments with utmost kindness and care. Ace put up a great fight to go beyond the sickness that was ailing him. Just after last Christmas, it became apparent that neither one of us could go on with his waging a losing battle.

I called the vet hospital and made arrangements for Ace to be put to sleep. I was heartbroken, and cried my heart out for weeks afterward Ace was such a special, ele-gant dog, but then, isn’t every dog special in some way?

Trying my best to hold on to the precious and happy memories of our life together, I had a montage created, complete with a large black ceramic black Lab standing at attention by the montage. To all of you who have lost your pets, my heart goes out to you. The paw prints that our pets leave upon our hearts are precious beyond words. Goodbye, Ace, a large part of my heart goes with you. To all of you who helped in Ace’s journey through his life, I extend a heartfelt thanks, especially the staff at our veterinary hospital. Ace made countless friends along the way. He truly was an exceptional dog, and he left us smiling, going home to meet with his Creator. —Bonnie Cowan
