Area I joins bus service

Ashcroft looks for money to study CN crossing

Ashcroft Council gave its staff authorization to sign the Annual Operating Agreement with BC Transit and Yellowhead Commun-ity Services at the Apr. 14 Council meeting.

Administrator Michelle Allen announced that Area I would be joining partners Ashcroft and Clin-ton, and they had put together a proposal for a six month trial that would adjust the schedule to take in several Area I communities.

Allen said the partners met ear-lier on Monday to review the oper-ations of the bus since Novem-ber when YCS (Clearwater) took over operations from Mile 0 Taxi & Charters (Lillooet).

“It’s more efficient, we feel. It’s starting to grow,” she said.

In the six month trial, the bus will stop at Ashcroft Manor, Ash-croft Reserve, Boston Flats, Bona-parte Reserve and 16 Mile on the way to Clinton. On Mondays, trav-

ellers living in Walhachin and Thompson River Estates could pre-arrange pickup on the way to Kam-loops.

The bus is still running only on Monday, Wednesday ad Friday. They were making three runs per day between Ashcroft and Clinton. That is now reduced to two, but the bus is spending more time in Clin-ton to give residents more oppor-tunity to use the bus around town.

“Just thinking of where we started with this and where we are now,” said Coun. Helen Kormendy. “It required people to come togeth-er to make it work. The inclusion of Area I has energized us.”

Mayor Andy Anderson said he hoped to see the bus service con-tinue to grow and become econom-ically viable.

Allen said they will also be pro-moting after hours use of the bus for local groups who want to take it on short trips.

Expressing doubts that they will be able to pay for improve-ments to the CN crossing in Ash-croft, Council decided to look for funding to do the initial inspection and report.

“To move forward with any improvements to the crossing will likely be in the $300,000 range,” said Administrator Michelle Allen.

She said they can apply to Transport Canada for a grant that would cover 40-50 per cent of the cost, but she has been told in-formally that any project leading to signal cessation will be refused be-cause of safety issues.

Only a report could say how ex-tensive the work needs to be, and that will cost around $10,000.

“It may be worth the funds to

find out,” said Coun. Alice Durk-sen. “It is nice to be able to sleep all night, so I’m not against finding out.”

“Is there another way to do this?” asked Coun. Helen Kor-mendy. “The costs are very high for a tax base that comes from our residents. This is a huge amount of money for us.”

She suggested getting MP Mark Strahl involved.

Mayor Andy Anderson point-ed out that modifying the crossing might not even be possible, “But we need to have the study done just to give people an answer,”

Council asked staff to contact the MP’s office and Transport Can-ada to see if there were any funds available to do the study.

Dear residents of Ashcroft, Cache Creek and

surrounding area.

It is with great sadness and lots of long nights of

deliberation that this dif� cult decision was made.

I will be relocating my medical practice to Kamloops,

B.C. effective May 28, 2014. I have been given a

great opportunity to take over a colleague’s well

established practice.

It has been a wonderful opportunity to live and work

in this great community.

I am pleased to advise my patients that your care will

be taken over by Dr. Govindasamy and Dr. Peedikayil,

if you so choose. It has been a pleasure to assist you

with your health care for the last four years and I wish

you all the best in the future.

Your medical records will remain in the clinic and in

the care of Dr. Govindasamy ad Dr. Peedikayil unless

your written authorization, as is required by the

College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C., is received

to transfer them to another physician.

Thank you for the opportunity to be a partner in your

medical care and I extend my best wishes to you.

Sincerely,Dr. Antoinette Kitshoff

Crime Stoppers1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Driver identityApril 2 at 4:05 pm police were

called to a single vehicle accident on Hwy 97C near the tailings pond. Logan Lake RCMP also attended. The driv-er, a 47 year old Prince George woman, said she lost control of the Oldsmobile sedan while trying to avoid hitting an animal. Neither the woman nor her 42 year old male passenger were seriously injured, but the car had to be towed for repairs. Witnesses later told police that they thought the male had been driv-ing. The man, also from PG, is current-ly prohibited from driving.

Wanted a ride, or elseApril 3 at 4:21 am police were ad-

vised of a 911 call from a 20 year old man from Kitscoty, Alta at Histor-ic Hat Creek Ranch, who told the dis-patcher that he needed a ride to Lil-looet for work, and if he didn’t get one, he would burn the ranch down. He was told the RCMP did not pro-vide a taxi service. He called 911 five more times, once saying he needed an ambulance because he had run into a pole and knocked himself out. The man also had earlier dealings with Kam-loops Rural RCMP, who stopped be-cause he had built a fire next to the highway just outside of Kamloops. The RCMP gave him a ride to Savona, and someone else had given him a ride to the Hwy 99 junction. He was arrested for threatening to set fire to the ranch, but said he didn’t mean it and never in-tended to. He complained about dizzi-ness and headaches and was transport-ed by ambulance back to Kamloops for a medical examination.

It flew awayApril 5 at 9:30 am police received

a report of possible light plane crash around Barnes Lake after a single en-gine plane was seen flying low over the lake. The complainant lost sight of it and her husband went out to look for it. He spoke to another neighbour who said that he’d seen it bank and fly away.

End of the lineApril 6 at 1:20 pm police received a

report of a possibly impaired driver in a westbound Lincoln sedan on Hwy 1. The complainant said the vehicle had no plates, was weaving all over the road and stopping randomly. Police located the vehicle in Cache Creek and spoke the the driver who smelled strongly of alcohol. The 30 year old Manitoba woman Failed the roadside sobriety test and was given a 90 day driving prohibi-tion. Her vehicle was impounded for 30 days. She was also issued tickets for not having a valid Drivers License and for failing to display her license plates - which had fallen off in an accident ear-lier in the day near Logan Lake. The same vehicle had been the subject of earlier complaints in Logan Lake and Kamloops.

Found a fightApril 7 at 8:30 pm police were

called to a fight in the parking lot of the River Inn where one 22 year old man lay unconscious with obvious head wounds, and another 24 year old male stood nearby, also with visible injuries. The unconscious man woke up when the ambulance arrived and both were unco-operative with police. Witnesses said the two Ashcroft men were drunk and trying to start a fight. No suspect has been identified yet. The 22 year old required stitches.

Outside the lawApril 8 at 3 pm police stopped a

speeding 2008 Buick Enclave in Cache Creek near the Starhouse Restaurant. The 44 year old Fort St. James man was found to have been a prohibited driv-er - since 2009. The man said he didn’t fall under any statute, claiming to be protected by international law. Un-fortunately for him, he was driving his

vehicle on a public highway in excess of the speed limit. He was charged with driving while prohibited and his vehicle was impounded.

Having a good timeApril 11 at 10:20 pm police were

called to the Ashcroft Reserve after re-ports of an intoxicated 27 year old man causing a disturbance. He was kicked out of his girlfriend’s residence for his annoying behaviour and was locat-ed by police as a passenger on a dune buggy with two other male occupants. The dune buggy failed to stop for po-lice twice, the second time with the men fleeing in different directions on foot and in the vehicle.

Police were called back to the Re-serve at 11:15 pm after the original sub-ject of the complaint had been injured in a fight. The 46 year old man respon-sible for the injuries said the 27 year old had taken a run at him, intending to start a fight, and he had to defend him-self. The younger man was taken to the hospital with a possible dislocated shoulder, but refused treatment. He was transported to cells in Kamloops and released when sober.

April 14 at 9 am police received a call from a third party, who reported that an Ashcroft woman had witnessed a dark-coloured pickup truck dumping garbage illegaly on Evans Rd. around the slough. The matter is under inves-tigation.

A warm blanketApril 15 at 12:37 am police re-

ceived a call from Chevron staff who were calling for a 41 year old hitchhik-er of no fixed address. The man asked the attendant to call police to come and get him because he was intoxicat-ed and had no money and nowhere to stay. Police spoke to the man, who was not intoxicated or causing a disturb-ance, and told him that they didn’t pro-vide that type of service. Nugget Motel staff leant him a blanket for the night. He was on his way to Calgary the next morning.

by Tom FletcherBlack PressWith one million of its new high-tech driv-

ers’ licences in use, the B.C. government is pre-paring to use them for access to medical rec-ords, applying for student loans and a range of other uses.

The new driver’s licence was introduced a year ago, with a digital chip that replaces the existing medical CareCard system. The health ministry estimated that there were more than nine million CareCards in circulation, about twice as many as there are residents of B.C.

With digital security similar to bank cards, Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, in-novation and citizens’ services, said the public appears prepared to use them to apply for pre-scription renewals, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and criminal rec-ords checks.

The cards are issued to replace the cur-rent driver’s licences, for the same $75 fee. For people who don’t drive, a similar card with only medical identity is available at no charge.

The Journal Thursday, April 17, 2014 www.ash-cache-journal.com A 3COMMUNITY

It looks like spring has finally arrived and area gardeners are just itching to get into their gardens and yards. Always eager to swap their “extra” plants and more than happy to receive something they don’t have, gardeners look forward to the annual Ashcroft Communities in Bloom Plant Swap.

This year’s Plant Swap will be held on Sunday, April 27 in Herit-age Park. Because this is a plant swap, the success will depend on the quantity of plants that local residents bring in.

With that in mind, the Com-

munities in Bloom committee asks that local residents take a little time to look around in their yards and split as many items as possible. Please try to pot them or place them in boxes – labels are great but not required.

Please bring any plants etc. to swap at 9:30. The sale will begin at 10. No Early Birds!

Ashcroft Communities in Bloom thankfully accepts dona-tions at the plant swap. All dona-tions are used to assist with local projects.

Hwy 1 Market ready to open

KAMLOOPS – Since Friday April 11, the Kamloops Fire Cen-tre has responded to 10 new wild-fires, all of which have been hu-man-caused. Of the 32 fires that have occurred in the Centre since April 1, almost all were the result of poorly planned open burning.

This serves as a serious remind-er to the public to be vigilant with any open fires and to ensure that they have contingency plans in place to extinguish fires that may escape.

While crews have responded to wildfires across the southern inter-ior, a 20 hectare fire on Bridge Riv-er Rd. meant the evacuation of five homes in the area. The fire was dis-covered on Apr. 14 and engaged 21 firefighters. Crews are in the mop up stage and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

More than half of the wildfires across British Columbia this sea-son have been located in the Kam-loops Fire Centre, and all have been human-caused.

Before conducting a burn, check with your local fire depart-ment, municipality and regional

district to see if any open burning restrictions or bylaws are in effect.

If you are planning to do any large-scale industrial burning or conduct a grass burn over 0.2 hec-tares (Category 3 fires), you must obtain a burn registration number ahead of time by calling 1 888 797-1717.

Always check the venting con-ditions before conducting an open burn. The venting index can be found at: http://www.bcairquality.ca/readings/ventilation-index.html

In British Columbia, the Wild-fire Act specifies a person’s legal obligations when using fire in or within one kilometre of forest land or grassland. If an outdoor burn es-capes and causes a wildfire, the person responsible may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs.

The Kamloops Fire Cen-tre would like to thank the pub-lic for its continued help in pre-venting wildfires. If you see flames or smoke, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on your cell-phone.

A fun Fun situationSusan McLean (right), vice chair for Ashcroft Elementary School’s Parents Advisory Committee, accepts a $1,000 cheque from Second Time Around manager Ann Bonter (left). The donation will go towards our annual fun fair at AES on May 22, from 4-8 pm. Thank you to Make Children First as well for a $448 donation which will pay for Uncle Chris the clown to perform at the fun fair. The community is invited to come and enjoy the inflatables, games, entertainment, raffles and food. Entry is by donation.

Taking care of Family and FriendsSandra Dowdy, vice president of the Loon Lake Community, Recreational and Agricultural Society (left) , hands Janet Quesnel a cheque for $1,660.41 for the Family and Friends at the Ashcroft hospital’s Long Term Care facility. The money is part of the proceeds from the LLCRAS’ annual Winter Fest fundraiser. The rest of the proceeds are donated to the Clinton health care society and to the Loon Lake Fire Dept.

Garden plants, handmade crafts, canning and baking, and a slew of flea market vendors is what you will find when the Cache Creek Market returns in May for its fourth season.

The Market is open to anyone who wants to set up a “farmer or flea”-related stall. The Market runs every Saturday from May until Oc-tober, from 9 am to 1 pm and vend-ing stalls are $5 per vendor. Open-ing Day, May 3, is free.

The Pony Club will be selling fused glass pendants, and Epicure will be selling spices and other products. Cache Creek and Loon Lake gardeners will be selling their hardened off vegetable plants, flowers and herbs - all grown local-ly. So come and get your tomato plants!

If you have something to sell, bring it to the Market on May 3 be-fore 9 am. Bring a table and chair

or just set it on the ground. Food sales must have the proper permits from Interior Health.

Or come by and have a look - but be ready to buy because there’ll be plenty to tempt you.

The Market is located on the old Esso property next to Chums Restaurant on Hwy 1. It was start-ed to provide a venue for people in Cache Creek and the surround-ing area who wanted a place to sell their locally-grown food, craft and flea market items, and being part of a group makes it easier.

The Cache Creek Market is funded and operated by the Cache Creek Beautification Society, which also sponsors the Cache Creek Communities in Bloom and the Cache Creek Garden Club.

Contact Wendy Coomber at 250-457-9587 if you have any questions about the Market.

See SALMON on p. 12

FROM SNOWDROPS TO APRICOT blossoms in 60 seconds, almost

The reckless expansion of salmon farmsLike many thoughtful British Col-

umbians, I am dumbfounded that the Harper government has given a green light to the expansion of salmon farms along the BC coast.

Never mind the multitude of warn-ings against the perils of open-net farming, its epidemic of sea lice, its dissemination of lethal viruses, its dumping of toxic chemicals. And never mind the wise but disregarded recom-mendations of the $26 million dollar Cohen Commission, the damning evi-dence of science, and the widespread public rejection of the industry.

You wonder how Justice Bruce Co-hen feels after his painstaking inquiry into the collapse of the sockeye sal-mon in the Fraser River. In his eight recommendations specific to BC, the Judge stated unequivocally that the sal-mon farms along the migration route in the Discovery Islands were a potential source of disease. He called for remov-ing the promotion of aquaculture from DFO’s mandate, as it contradicted the department’s responsibility to protect wild salmon. He said that DFO should fully implement and fund both the 2005 Wild Salmon Policy and the 1986 Habitat Policy with its “No Net Loss” principle, and that the health of wild salmon should take priority over suit-ability for aquaculture when choosing locations for farms.

Furthermore, DFO should not issue new licences for net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands, or permit in-creases in production at any existing

farms along these Islands until Septem-ber 2020. That’s six years from now!

The provincial government ac-cepted “the intent” of all the Commis-sion’s recommendations.

All Judge Cohen’s recommenda-tions have been ignored and the Com-mission’s website has been “archived.”

Meanwhile, Marine Harvest, the biggest salmon farming company in BC and the world, has got itself list-ed on the New York Stock Exchange. Their press release trumpets a plan to “lead the blue revolution similar to 5,000 years ago when we went from hunting to farming.” In a video of the event, we witness its promoter – the richest man in Norway – smiling and clapping ever so happily.

Behind this jubilation remains the fact that wild salmon-counts decline everywhere salmon farms are locat-ed (Ford and Myers 2008). Norway, a country that destroyed its own wild sal-mon due to open-net farms, own 98 per cent of the industry in BC. The Norwe-gian government itself owns the largest share of Cermaq.

And now the Canadian Senate Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans is conniving to sweep aside all regulatory obstacles to expansion by writing a “stand alone” Aquaculture Act.

On Feb. 25, DFO testified to the Senate Committee that the Feder-al Government intends to remove the most important section of the Canadian Fisheries Act, Section 36, because the

salmon farming industry asked them to.

DFO spokesperson, a Mr. Bevan, said, “I think the first steps that we were asked to take by the industry were to resolve the issue around the use of therapeutants and other treatments. Under section 36, it’s illegal to put into the water any harmful substances, so that was a very critical impediment to further operation of the aquaculture in-dustry, so that’s what we’re currently dealing with.”

Let us not forget that the people in charge of wild salmon are the same people that led the North Atlantic cod into commercial extinction.

At a conference on aquaculture in Nanaimo in March, Senator Green Raine gave her support to salmon farms and made this profoundly puz-zling statement: “At the end of the day, there is no solid evidence that salmon farms here impact wild salmon stocks.”

The inevitable conclusion to be drawn from these anomalies is that big money is involved. I ran into a figure somewhere quoting $800 million from salmon farms in yearly revenue for the Federal Government. No doubt that is a lot of money, but is it really worth the extermination of wild salmon, a main-stay of coastal ecology and economy, as well as provisioning people in the interior of BC?

It would be more intelligent to re-move the obnoxious fish farms to con-tainers on land while giving full sup-

I was watching a neighbour cutting down a big old tree in their backyard the other day. It was rotten - and I’m not mak-ing a personal judgment here - and needed to be taken down safely.

But it made me think, in the 13 years that I’ve lived here, about how many big trees that have come down around my street - and none have been replaced.

At the turn of the century (to old folks like me, that means the 1900s) Joyce Kilmer wrote:

I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.

Although, I like Ogden Nash’s version just as well:

I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree.

Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I’ll never see a tree at all.

Maybe it’s my Ontario roots show-ing, but I love trees. I really don’t under-stand some people’s opinion that they are nuisances. Sure, mowing the grass under my apple and pear trees mean that I have to keep ducking under the branches, but I wouldn’t consider cutting them down until they’re dead. I love the blossoms, the leaves, the fruit, the bees (not the wasps) and the birds that inhabit them.

If you want to offset your carbon foot-print, plant a tree - but avoid nitrogen-based fertilizers. Such fertilizers results in in-creased emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.

Trees provide many environmental, energy and social benefits for us. For the past few years, I’ve been nurturing a moun-tain ash “bush” in the front yard for eventu-al shade, bird viewing and aesthetics.

Go ahead and hug a tree - it’s good for you. And they hug back.

This great 2011 computer-animated epic adventure film is worth seeing again in the big screen. Here’s a movie sneak peek; the intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock’s ancestor.

Thrilling and wildly funny, the Tintin stories chronicle the escapades of the young junior re-porter who has a nose for a good story and a tal-ent for attracting trouble, which more often than not imperils his life!

The movie is based on The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson.

Dear EditorThe Cache Creek Landfill is

got to be one of the best kept po-tential environmental disaster se-crets of all time, or at least one of the best examples of non-steward-ship of the ecology.

In the past, the fly ash pro-duced from burning waste at the Burnaby Waste to Energy facility was commingled with the regular landfill (not good). Then to guard against toxic leaching, they sep-arated it, and stabilized fly ash, which is treated with lime to lock in the heavy metals, was placed in an area that also was membraned for an extra layer of protection.

In the summer of 2012, 1,800 tons was dumped, then later, as the testing was behind the dumping, it tested positive for cadmium and lead inside the membrane. Ironic-ally, in the past up to 35,000 tons was dumped commingled, with no testing outside the membrane.

So they come to the conclu-sion that the testing was faulty, and there’s no worry for us in the fu-ture concerning leaching heavy metals (how convenient).

So they’ve shut down that part of the landfill, and now, everyday

they drive a truck full of toxic (sta-bilized) fly ash to a facility in Al-berta. The fuel it takes to drive there and back everyday, would no doubt produce almost the same amount of electricity as what is produced, producing toxic waste.

The remainder of the Cache Creek Landfill is scheduled to close in 2016, at which the whole Landfill will be capped and fenced off for eternity.

Conclusion: the Burnaby Waste to Energy Facility, should be renamed the Burnaby Waste to Wasteland Facility.

Not unlike the Tar Sands, it has a negative net energy bottom line, meaning it uses more energy than it produces, while producing toxic waste.

To all the wonderful people in Cache Creek and Ashcroft, thank you for storing all our crap that we produce in the Fraser Valley, so we can keep all the jobs and economy of the Province, right here in the lower mainland.

Hopefully, Wastech will create a budget for future maintenance, security, and possible future leech repair, from commingled ash and anything else that might be in there that no one knows about.

It’s almost our favourite time of the year – Earth Day is just around the corner on April 22! Each

year, we organize an April campaign to help educate and engage people of all ages and backgrounds to lessen their impact on the Earth. A great way to start is integrating easy environmental actions into your day-to-day life – those small changes add up to a larger cumulative impact

over time. And not only are these changes good for the

environment, they’re often good for your health and can even help you save money!Over the course of a busy week or month, it’s easy to lose track of our environmental efforts. So this year we’re asking you to join us, as we Make It Count for Earth Day!Learning about nature: We’re focusing on 4 action categories – EAT, GROW, TRANSFORM and SHARE. Set a goal for the number of actions you want to complete in each category throughout the month, and count them up using our printable calendar. Share your results using the #MIC4ED hashtag to compare your totals with friends, classmates, colleagues or

perfect strangers across the country.When you register to participate, you’ll also be

automatically entered to win great prizes. More importantly, you’ll join others around the country who are making their Earth Month count! They say it takes 21 repetitions to form a habit – after a month of counting your actions, we hope these easy actions will become a part of your daily

routine and last all year long. Get started today and make every day Earth Day!

Ever wondered how Earth Day started? This observance arose from an interest in gathering national support for environmental issues. In 1970, activist John McConnell and Gaylord Nelson separately asked people to join in a grassroots demonstration.

Millions of people participated, and today Earth Day continues to be widely celebrated with events on both dates. The most common practice of celebration is to plant new trees for Earth Day. Earth Day Canada (EDC), a national

environmental charity founded in 1990, provides Canadians with the practical knowledge and tools they need to lessen their impact on the environment. In 2004, it was recognized as the top environmental education organization in North America for

its innovative year-round programs and educational resources by the Washington-based North American Association for Environmental Education, the world’s largest association of environmental educators. In 2008, it was chosen as Canada’s

“Outstanding Non-profit Organization” by the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication. EDC regularly partners with thousands of organizations in all parts of Canada. Visit www.earthday.ca

Zion hosts Apr. 25 Soups On due to Art Show

Seven ladies answered the Roll Call at our Apr. 8 meeting of Zion’s United Church Women. President Reta Robertson opened the meeting with a warm welcome for everyone.

She lead the devotional with a Lent-en prayer and a hymn. The scripture reading was Romans 8:6-11 with a Lenten theme. Be in the spirit of Christ – His spirit dwells in us. Remember the cross, it’s pain, and remember the joy of the Resurrection as he overcame death. We have our hope in Him. Reta closed with a Lenten prayer.

Because our minister is away June 1, the UCW will lead the service that Sunday.

We evaluated the Bean Supper and talked about some improvements to make.

The correspondence was dealt with next. There were many items. One was a reminder of the B.C. Conference UCW in Abbotsford May 7-9. We re-

ceived a news maga-zine of the work of WICC,

a UCW Mission and Service update, news from 1st United Community Ministry Society about their work and three other pieces and “thank yous”.

Our treasurer Colleen Mireau hand-ed out a written report and it was voted on. Joyce gave the Sunshine report in the absence of Dorothy Pears. Sever-al cards were sent out. Other reports – Publicity, Archives and Outreach. were given verbally for information. We con-tinue to receive used stamps and Camp-bells labels for Christian work else-where so a big thank you to those who continue to save them for this work. Also it is to be noted that the United Church will be hosting Soups On in our church hall Apr. 25 due to the Art Show at St. Albans Hall (Apr. 25-29). Plans were made for this.

Refreshments were then enjoyed

before we went on to New Business. Cost cutting ideas were discussed next.

Our next meeting will be held May 6 in our church hall and the devo-tional and re-freshments were planned for. We closed with the United Church Women’s Prayer. If anyone is in-terested in our work, they would be most wel-come to come as a visitor or to join us. There are no dues.

Handbell Concert plays in Cache Creek

Coming up on Sun-day, May 4 is a Spring Con-cert from the Desert Bells Handbell Choir. They will be performing in the Cache Creek Pentecostal Church on Stage Rd. They don’t play often, so come out enjoy their music in the great acoustical setting of the church. Concert starts at

3 pm and is by donation.

One of BC’s best Aboriginal Performers coming to Ashcroft

Closing out the Dessert Concert Season will be First Nations Artist, Sandy Scofield on Friday, May 9. Scofield is a multi-award winning com-poser, musi-cian and singer. She has stud-ied classical, jazz, African, Indonesian gamelan and electro-acoustic music. The night will see Sandy along-side an amazing guitar-

ist from Vancou-ver Ste-phen Nikleva. Stephen has been teaching guitar on and off most of his life when he hasn’t been touring the world with the likes of Sarah McLach-lan, Ray Con-do, Mae Moore, Veda Hille and many others. He is world famous for his guitar

styling’s, he also plays and teaches teaches bass and mandolin.

It’s evening performance at 7:30pm. Tickets are now available at; Natures Gifts, the Ashcroft Bakery and the Cache Creek Jade Shoppe or call (250) 453-9100 to reserve your advance tick-ets. If you would like to vol-unteer for the production - please give them a call. For a few hours work, WRAPS offers a half price ticket.

Sandy is a great story teller and sees her music as a pathway for raising aware-ness and celebrating cul-ture. She actually came to Aboriginal music later in life, embracing her herit-age through song. “I went to the Banff Centre for the Arts in 1995 and did a 10-week intensive with Sadie Buck from Six Nations in Can-ada,” she said. “She had this residency for urban women who grew up without oral tradition and she brought in women elders from all around Turtle Island (North America) to teach them their traditions, songs, and song traditions.”

Sandy has always been a musician. Leader of the all female Cree band of sing-

ers, Iskwew, Sandy start-ed making music before she can even remember and has played and sung in many bands over the years. From Cajun to rock, clas-sical, and jazz, the founda-tion she had before coming into Cree Aboriginal music incorporated a wide variety of sounds and instruments. She plays piano and guitar in addition to being a singer.

A Métis from the Saul-teaux and Cree Nations, she hails from four genera-tions of fiddlers, singers and musicians. Over the years, she has mentored innumer-able First Nations sing-ers and songwriters in the way of rudimentary music theory, vocal techniques, song writing craft and music-industry protocol.

She has toured to fes-tivals on four continents, and in 2011, performed at the International Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo making this the fifth continent where she has per-formed. She has composed for dance, film, television and theatre, with the Ab-original Welcoming Song for the 2010 Olympic Open-ing Ceremonies, the high-light to date.

Revenue Agency loses personal data to Heartbleed bug

Time to start thinking about Strawberry Teas

by Jeff NagelBlack PressThe Canada Revenue Agency

says the social insurance numbers of 900 taxpayers were stolen last week by someone using the Heart-bleed encryption vulnerability be-fore the taxation agency shut down public access to its online services.

It happened over a six-hour per-iod by someone exploiting the vul-nerability in many supposedly se-cure websites that used an open-source encryption system.

The CRA said it will send regis-tered letters to affected taxpayers and will not be emailing them be-cause it doesn’t want fraudsters to use phishing schemes to further ex-ploit the privacy breach.

“I want to express regret to Canadians for this service inter-ruption,” CRA com-missioner Andrew Treusch said. “I share the concern and dis-may of those individ-uals whose privacy has been impacted by this malicious act.”

Other person-al data and possibly businesses’ informa-tion may also have been lost.

“We are current-ly going through the painstaking process of analyzing other frag-ments of data, some that may relate to busi-nesses, that were also removed,” Treusch said.

Taxpayers whose data was comprom-ised will get bolstered CRA account protec-tion and free access to credit protection ser-vices.

Canada’s Privacy Commissioner is also investigating.

Online services, including the E-file and Netfile online in-come tax portals, were

patched and re-launched Sunday after what the CRA called a vig-ourous test to ensure they are safe and secure.

The CRA cut off access to those services April 8 as word spread that the Heartbleed bug had given hack-ers access to passwords, credit card numbers and other information at many websites.

People whose income tax filing was delayed by last week’s CRA interruption have been given until May 5 – beyond the usual April 30 filing deadline – to file returns without being penalized.

The Heartbleed vulnerability compromised secure web brows-ing for up to two years at some sites despite the display of a closed padlock that indicates an encrypted connection.

Summer seems to be in the air with all this beauti-ful sunshine. I guess some of you will be get-ting the gardens ready and planting the early veggies. The Seniors are thinking “Strawberry Tea.”

The Ashcroft-Cache Creek Seniors Association is holding its annual Straw-

berry Tea in the Centre on Apr. 26 from 1-3 pm. Hope to see you there and be able to say “Hello” again. We also have crafts and books for sale.

Another bus trip is being planed for the Anglemont

Players event. This is Sunday, June 22, and we need a bus load to go. Please come down to the Senior’s Cen-tre and sign up early. We have a lovely day

planned with a stop in Kam-loops for our supper on the way home. We have had many successful trips to this event over the years and we look forward to another one.

We are carrying on busi-ness as usual, but need more members to come out for our month-ly meetings to conduct our af-fairs and take an

interest in what we do at the Centre. Please remember, our members are what we are and what we do, so come out and have a say in what you would like us to change.

We have quite a few op-tions for you to help us make decisions about. You will enjoy our friendly chats, and a hug when you are down al-ways helps you get through the problem.

Kevin is mending from his knee surgery.

Let’s hang our troubles in the closet and throw them away when you change your clothes to the summer ones.

Love to all from our Sen-iors.

MOE satisfied, but fly ash safety questioned

port to the resurgence of wild salmon stocks, creatures able to fend

for themselves without daily “manage-ment,” if only free from contamination, and which have the pleasing habit, from time im-memorial, of swimming upriver to deliver themselves into our hands.

By what twist of logic can we justify the destruction of this natural gift?

It is to be remembered that the govern-ment of BC is the landlord of fish farms. Li-cences of occupation can be denied or re-voked at any time. Therefore, if, like me, you are concerned about the fate of wild sal-mon, at least write your MLA and Christie Clark and let them know how you feel.

For a more complete analysis of the cur-rent salmon situation, see alexandramorton-typepad.com, or refer to her website.

Van AndrussMoha, BC

Salmon from p. 4

Cache Creek Council will request that the Ministry of Environment con-duct additional testing of the fly ash that is comingled with waste in the landfill and that they include ground-water monitoring wells as a closure re-quirement.

The Ministry presented the latest report on the fly ash in the monofill at the Cache Creek Landfill last week at meetings in Cache Creek and Ashcroft. The report by Stantec (Burnaby WTE Facility Fly Ash Review, Feb. 5, 2014) concluded that the fly ash which test-ed positive for cadmium in July/Aug. 2012 was likely caused by a faulty test-ing process and not because the WES-PHix process failed to bind the metal to the ash.

The test results caused the Min-istry of Environment to slap a letter of non-compliance on the landfill oper-ators, Wastech and the Village of Cache Creek, for allowing toxic material to be deposited in the municipal landfill. All further truckloads of the flyash were taken to toxic waste facility in Alberta.

“The report seems to be satisfactory to the Ministry of Environment,” said Mayor John Ranta at the Apr. 14 Coun-cil meeting, but it’s not satisfactory to the people of Cache Creek.”

The 222 page review looked at data already collected by previous re-ports, talked to laboratories, scientists and staff at the Burnaby incinerator, and cluded that since it could find no

other docu-mented prob-lems with the WES-PHix process, and since the lab doing the testing had not followed the required procedures, then the bad results were likely to be the result of bad testing.

“We can’t say definitely

that the leachate wasn’t contaminated,” said Doug Whiticar of Stantec as he presented the study, “but it’s not likely. We feel the fly ash can resume going to the monofil.”

He added that optional supple-mental testing could be done in or-der to be sure that the chemical make-up of the material is not leachable, and to determine whether any amendments are needed. Cache Creek Council has asked for that testing to be done.

Metro Vancouver has been deposit-ing fly ash at the landfill since 2000, but only in a separate monofill since July 2010. Before that, it was comingled with the rest of the garbage.

At the Cache Creek meeting, May-or Ranta questioned the review saying the fly ash was accepted at the landfill based on the Ministry’s approval of the WES-PHix process.

“So, is the basis on which we ac-cepted the fly ash wrong?”

He noted that in one part of the re-view, it stated that the WES-PHix pro-cess is permanent, and yet in another part it indicates that it can be unstable.

“If it’s done properly, it should be permanent,” said consultant Dr. Frank Roethel.

Ermes Culos asked if that would still be true after it was exposed to an acidic environ-ment. Roethel said it could be possible, but not likely.

“We were told it was safe when it came here,” said Don Hillyard. “First it was put on top of the soil. Then it was bur-ied. Then it had its own mono-fill. Now it doesn’t come here at all. How safe is it”?

Metro Vancouver was represented by Paul Hender-son, who explained that they were in the process of looking for a new site to deposit the fly ash, and so far Wastech hadn’t indicated any interest.

Culos asked if exposure to rain made a difference with the WES-PHix process. Roethel replied that it didn’t, so Culos

asked why they would choose a landfill with a dry reputation

“I don’t know why the location was chosen,” said Roethel. The process is used to bind metals to fly ash in many less dry landfills around the world. “Rain generates leachate which also has to be treated and disposed of.”

One of Wastech’s employees stated that at least one in 10 truckoads of fly ash arrived at the landfill soaked to the point of being a “slurry”.

“I share Mr. Culos’s perspective,” said Ranta, pointing to over 100,000 tonnes of comingled flyash exposed to moisture.

Ranta also asked if the MOE was satisfied enough to rescind its letter of non-compliance.

Sr. Environmental Protection Offi-cer Carol Danyluk said they would in-spect the site and look at the data, but since the data was based on question-able lab tests, they could issue a formal notice that the data that the non-com-pliance was based on was in error.
