Lexus impounded
Cache Creek bank damaged by fire
Fire broke out in the Cache Creek Royal Bank on Monday night. Cache Creek Fire Dept. was assisted by Ashcroft Fire Dept. through their Mutual Aid Agreement. No one was injured. (Right) Fire Chief Tom Moe checks for pockets of heat with a thermal imaging camera.
The Royal Bank building in Cache Creek will be closed for the foreseeable future after a suspected electrical fire resulted in smoke, glass and water damage.
Village administrator Dan Plamondon said he was able to tour the building Tuesday mor-ning. He said it looked as though the fire began near the lunchroom and spread to the roof, trig-gering the explosion of a nearby BC Hydro transformer.
Plamondon said the Village was advised to use a Kamloops branch for their banking until the Cache Creek branch is operational again. Although he wasn’t given an approximate date for this, he said he was given the impression that the local branch would be back in business as soon as the building was repaired.
Clinton RCMP have impounded a red Lexus, driven by a 19-year-old Langley resi-dent after it was clocked doing 194 km/h, nearly twice the posted limit.
On July 25 at 2:50 pm, a member of the Clinton RCMP was conducting mobile radar enforcement on Hwy 97 near 83 Mile Rd. when the officer observed a red vehicle pass-ing others. The police officer engaged his emer-gency equipment and stopped the car.
The teenager was issued a violation ticket for excessive speed which, in this case, carries a fine of $483 as well as a mandatory seven-day vehicle impound.

Ashcroft rcMP DetAchMent
POLICE REPORTWendy Coomber
Put away for safe keepingJuly 22 at 10:20 am police received
a complaint from an Ashcroft woman who said that her child’s bike had been stolen from the public pool the day be-fore. A short investigation determined that a Village employee had found the bike in the pool parking lot and put it in the pumphouse for safekeeping. It was returned to the family.
Recyclables stolen July 22 a 53 year old Ashcroft man
called to report that someone had en-tered his yard earlier that day and taken a bin full of bottles and cans that had been collected to return for their de-posit. The man confronted a person of interest and the articles were returned. However, the person returned to the house later and engaged in a “wierd” conversation with the complainant at the door. He was described as short, with curly dirty blond hair. He was seen loading bags into a pickup truck, but no license plate number was obtained.
At 6 pm, Ashcroft Liquor Store staff called to complain about a suspi-cious male inside the store. Based on his actions, they were ready to refuse him service and didn’t think he would react well. Police attended and spoke to the white 50 year old blond male of no fixed address. He said he was on his way to Vancouver and left in a pick-up truck. There were no further com-plaints.
New driver with bad habits July 23 at 4:31 pm a Traffic Servi-
ces officer was patrolling the area when he noticed a westbound Accura speed-ing down the highway by the Wastech offices. He was travelling at 143 kph in the 100 kph zone and stopped. The 27 year old Coquitlam man was flag-ged by ICBC to be served with a four month driving prohibition. He was also issued a ticket for not displaying his N. A passenger in the car had a valid driv-ers license and was allowed to take control of the car.
Well wishes not well received July 24 at 3:45 pm a 21 year old
Ashcroft woman reported that her ex-boyfriend, a 24 year old Fort St. John man, was repeatedly messaging her Fa-cebook page after being told to stop.
She had already changed her cell phone number to prevent his phone calls. When contacted, he told police that he had only wished her a happy birthday and said he would stop contacting her.
Moving cheaply gets expensive
July 24 at 9:36 pm RCMP were asked to assist the Lytton Detachment after a business owner called to com-plain about children being kept in a UHaul. The business owner noticed a UHaul with Arizona plates parked at his business in Lytton and a man sleeping in the truck. He woke the man and told him he couldn’t sleep there, so the man got out of the truck and went around to the back of the trailer. When he opened the door, the business owner saw three young children inside and called the police. The UHaul was intercepted at the Husky in Cache Creek. The 31 year old man advised police that he and his family were on their way from Vancou-ver to Terrace where he was to take up a new job. They couldn’t afford to stay in motels, so a bed was set up in the UHaul for the three children and their
mother to sleep in at night, while he slept in the truck. He was issued tickets for having too many passengers and not enough seatbelts and told that he could drive no further until that situation was remedied.
Spitting mad July 26 at 10:46 pm po-
lice were called to the Ashcroft hospital to deal with an intoxi-cated and aggressive patient. The 62 year old Cache Creek man was brought in by para-medics after he fell outside of his residence. He was calm until he arrived at the hospi-tal, and then he began yelling, swearing and spitting. He was arrested for causing a disturb-ance and lodged in cells until sober.
Driving while prohibited July 27 at 11:17 am while
on a routine patrol in Cache Creek, officers stopped a sus-picious driver in a pickup. The man failed to produce a Driv-ers License and was identified as a prohibited driver. The 28
year old Salmon Arm man was charged with driving while prohibited and his truck was impounded.
The old digs July 28 at 9:43 am police received
a complaint that a former resident of an apartment building on Stage Rd. had returned and was trying to break into her old apartment that was still oc-cupied by her ex boyfriend. Police at-tended and spoke to the 31 year old woman who said she had just knocked on the door to see if he was home. No damage had been done to the door. She was advised to make arrangements by telephone to come and collect her be-longings before returning.
Rural break and enter
July 28 police received a report that a house near Scottie Creek had been broken into some time overnight and stolen were a hard hat and a power saw. The matter is still under investigation.
Smash and grab
July 28 at 10:34 am a 58 year old Willow River woman called to report that her Oldsmobile Cutlass had been broken into while it was parked at the side of Hwy 1 across from the Wal-hachin entrance. She had met her hus-band there, who was working in Wal-hachin, and parked her car while they used his to drive to Kamloops. When they returned, they found the car’s back window smashed and the satellite radio gone. They were advised to contact ICBC.
Trailer stolen
July 28 at 11:17 am police were ad-vised by a 38 year old Cache Creek man that his 2005 Double A flatdeck trailer had been stolen some time over-night from the Chevron commercial cardlock parking lot at the corner of Hwy 1 and 97C. Anyone with any in-formation about this are asked to phone the RCMP at 453-2261.

Desert Daze music fest is back
Ashcroft shows its best to CiB judges
Contest recognizes Clinton gardeners
Spences Bridge is gearing up for its fifth annual Desert Daze Festival Aug. 8-9, with two days of music and workshops, shopping, and fun and games!
The festival is a little scaled back from previous years, but is still jam packed with music and fun!
Friday kicks off at 3 pm with the Siska Drummers. This group of Indigenous drummers opens the festival with a prayer and a wel-come song.
The Festival’s four main head-liner bands this year are North Country Gentlemen and Magic Rooster Blues Band on the Fri-day night, and Terrence Jack and The Johnson Brothers on Saturday night. Check out their Facebook pages or look on YouTube to have a listen to the treat that’s in store!
The afternoon schedule is filled with a huge variety of local and not so local talent: the ever popu-lar Flat Busted, and of Girls with Guitars fame Nadine Davenport, Ashcroft’s funky sound of Spiritus Mundii, and the sweet voice of Haley Hendrykx from Oregon will also grace our stage, as will many more talented musicians. Some-thing new this year is the enter-taining Mill Girl Follies! These Can Can dancers from Clinton will dance their hearts out to the delight of the crowd!
Vendors and volunteer are needed for this event; please go to
the website for details www.desert-daze.ca. Also check out the Face-book page and “like” it!
It’s not all about the music though; the Festival celebrates the bounty that this sundrenched coun-try provides. Watermelon spitting and apple bobbing contests, pick-ling and tomato canning work-shops – and vendors supplying the local produce they grow. You will also find fine jewellery, clothing and crafts for sale.
Aside from the canning and pickling workshops there will be a facilitated drumming circle jam, so bring your djembes, hand drum, rattles and shakers! Local bead-er, Erin Aleck, is offering a bead-ing workshop – in less than an hour you will walk away with a piece of beading that you made yourself! If beading isn’t your thing, then what about birch bark baskets? This workshop is being offered by artist Carolyn Lytton, and you will walk away with a little basket of your own!
This is a family event and to that end there is a supervised chil-dren’s area with sprinklers to run in and games to play! Also at 5 on Saturday there is a science experi-ment workshop for kids!

On a day when our weather was unusual-ly unsettled, the Communities in Bloom judg-es made their way around our Village taking in the many aspects of the criteria for the program.
We toured them from one side of town to the other and they met with Village office staff, asking questions on various bylaws, operations issues and budgets. They toured both the lo-cal health care auxiliary thrift store as well as Second Time Around, the museum, the recyc-ling area and the bottle depot.
We drove up and down local streets admir-ing the neatness of our Village and the care taken in our resident’s yards. They were im-pressed with the baskets on main street, the new street banners, the landscaping around our busi-nesses and the lovely green playing fields at the pool park. The admired our new tennis courts, the student garden area at Ashcroft Secondary School, the murals and flowers on the fence at Ashcroft Elementary School and loved looking around at Desert Hills Ranch.
Heritage Park, which we always say is the “gem of our community,” was a huge hit with the judges. They were so impressed with the heritage artifacts, the storyboards, memorial benches, tables and trees and the overall land-scaping that has been a joint effort between
Communities in Bloom and the Village. Thank you to all businesses and residences for contrib-uting so positively to our community.
Communities in Bloom members were around town on Friday distributing congratula-tion packages to 10 more residents who are the recipients of the Scott’s Best Garden Selection awards. The residences selected and proudly displaying their signs for the next three weeks are:
1396 Government St. – Vivian Edwards1417 Battel St. – Diana Hillocks1212 Mesa Vista Dr, – Oscar Battel805 Cariboo Cres. – Lynn Koster410 Mesa Vista Dr. – Alex Lepore290 Cliff Cres. – Bruce Walker1203 Vista Heights – Keith Cheyne201 Brink St. – Bob Tuohey201 Bancroft St. – Ian Burnby213 Ash St. – R. Ouellette Take the time to drive around the Village.
Try to look at it through the eyes of judges who have never been here before and visualize how they see it. Neat yards and businesses, virtual-ly no litter or graffiti and an obvious pride in where we live. Well done!

Love, Wellness and finding one’s special place
We all come with a lot of baggage these days. That’s something that I’ve been see-ing for more than a year now, but I just no-ticed it the other day when I drove past a couple of hitchhikers with at least half a dozen brightly coloured backpacks and travel bags spread out in front of them. Even if I was inclined to give them a ride, where would I have put all their STUFF?
A few days before that, I saw a young hitchiker with his road bike sitting lame-ly in front of him, his pannier bags arrayed on the ground and his thumb out. Mind you, sometimes accidents happen and plans change quickly.
When I was a kid, the norm for hitch-hiking seemed to be a backpack and a gui-tar. Now I see people hitchhiking with what seems to be all that they own.
Reminds me of Charles Bedaux’s in-famous Canadian Sub-Arctic Expedition in 1934. American millionaire Bedaux round-ed up an entourage of Citroen halftracks, a couple of surveyors, geologist, filmmakers and radio operators, dozens of local cow-boys, his wife, his mistress, his valet, a maid, a hunting buddy, a few cooks, mech-anics and what have you. He loaded 130 pack horses with supplies that included cases of champagne, caviar, canned Devon-shire cream, cigarettes, expensive boots, shoes and clothing, as well as food and equipment.
The group was to forge a route from Ed-monton to Telegraph Creek, but their over-loaded horses and vehicles soon bogged down in the mud and muskeg and the trip ended at Fort Ware, 300 miles shy of their destination. Four days were spent distribut-ing loads of surplus canned food, clothing, etc., and the last case of Devonshire Cream among the local Indians.
It’s like that with ordinary people also. We carry a lot of unnecessary baggage around with us, unwilling to part with it, and unaware of the effect it has on the people around us until it becomes over-whelming. It affects the opportunities that come - or don’t come - our way, as well as the choices we make.
Better to travel lightly and take only what we need. That keeps our options open.
Wellness is movingIf Wellness means getting
people moving, our second annual Festival could not have been more successful. All the aspects of well-ness were visible, felt and heard July 19-20 in downtown Ashcroft.
I did not attend all the events, because I had the very pleasant privilege of attending the wed-ding of Bianca and Robert in Leg-acy Park on Saturday. Those two events sure made for an exciting week-end. But I was there to see the distribu-tion of the Tryathalon awards by Vicky Trill and see the joy on childrens’ faces, and I sure enjoyed the thumping beat of the Zumba dancing with Nicole Archi-bald and even joined in the stretch Yoga with Nicole Tattum. These rheumatic bones of mine squealed a protest, but the spirit of the moment won out and those 10 minutes did me the world of good.
The morning dawned dark and more than a little broody. But it cleared up and the sun came out and the clouds turned into those welcoming great puff balls. By the time of the wedding at 1:30 pm, the day couldn’t have been more glorious. A gentle breeze blew through the park. Darryl Starbucks in his vintage 30’s sedan brought the bride in, and Micheal Godau, her handsome father, led her down the grassy aisle to Pastor Karl Samek, who did the hon-ours.
Bianca looked like a model stepped out of one of those bridal fashion maga-zines. A strapless white gown, with a flaring skirt and long train, - the train held by two sweet little tots, - had cam-eras busy. The atmosphere of love and fellowship was wonderful. Lots of hugs and kisses. There’s nothing like a wed-ding to make people feel grateful for all the blessings of life. Ashcroft’s setting for this, as my dear old friend Una Go-dau, grandmother of the bride, pointed out, was nothing short of magnificent.
Una looked lovely in a teal blue wide brimmed straw hat and matching jacket and dress. On Sunday morning, I brought Una back to my Manor apart-ment and gave her a simple breakfast and we had a good gab. Mostly about family. She was impressed with my apartment. Una lives also in a senior’s complex in Nanaimo.
The Cakewalk ItselfYes, it has a self. More place than
self, maybe. The walk is short, as all
Cakewalks are. It extends from the Canadian Legion at the corner of Third and Brink to the lane that sep-arates the liquor store from the Ash-croft Bakery.
There’s a cool little alcove tucked in beside the Bakery, with a table and umbrella to shade and protect. Be-fore 8 am every morning through the week day, each chair is filled with workers having their morning cof-fee and ordering their noon day take
away lunch. I am usually there at the tail end of their rest, but the gist of it seems to be sports. Lately, soccer.
Around the corner is the Bakery it-self. The sight of which is rustic, hum-ble, and kind of cute. Like all baker-ies, the air around and inside is redol-ent with mouth watering odours. Block buster cinnamon buns, bread, past-ies and pies, all of it wafting across the busy street.
And there is conversation: The music of words. There’s the litany rant you might hear in a Dublin pub. There’s sporadic grunting. The kind reminiscent of the Inuit throat singers who “sing” nose to nose. And inside the Bakery, there’s more prose, all of it bathed in the odours of cinnamon and sugar and sausage rolls fresh out of the oven.
Now that is what the bakery means to me. It might not be the screech of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear EditorWhen I read the article in
The Journal (July 17) about Bylaw 789 that the Mayor and councillors of Ashcroft rushed through a first and second read-ing of, without a public hearing, I was amazed. Not only by the fact that they took it upon them-selves to waive a public hearing, which is the right of the citizens of the Ashcroft community to express their view at, but at the complete ignorance of their ac-tions.
First of all, the rules and regulations pertaining to the es-tablishment of Medical Mari-juana facilities are laid out by the Federal government in great detail. The T.N.R.D., who don’t have their heads in the sand, have approved one for the old fish hatchery up the Loon Lake Road and one at Green Lake using the Federal guidelines, not exceeding their mandate by passing bylaws that are contrary to Federal rules and regulations. The T.N.R.D. obviously knows the security and regulations that must be met to have these facili-ties set up. Oh, and that these fa-cilities provide taxes and em-ployment for people living in the area.
I seem to recall for the last 20 years a common complaint
in Ashcroft and Cache Creek was that we need new business, we need em-ployment, and we need to improve our tax base for when the landfill is no long-er a major employer in the area to keep our towns and schools functioning. The container port is not going to do it all.
Let me see: Bylaw 789 states “No cultivation of Medic-al Marijuana (employment and taxes), no storing of marijuana (employment, building growth and taxes), no drying and pack-aging (employment and taxes), no distribution (no new store, no employment, wages and property taxes) in all zones.
Wake up and read the liter-ature of the medical benefits of Medical Marijuana, councillors. Thousands of people have relief of chronic pain, epileptic seiz-ures nausea from Chemother-apy, P.T.S.D. symptoms (Post traumatic stress disorder) and other medical conditions from the use of Medical Marijuana and hemp oils that are very low in TCH.
You should all have inter-net now. If not, go to the library and do some research there. You will find that many doctors who were naysayers are now revers-ing their positions based on re-cent research. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a very famous American doc-tor is one of many who has re-versed their stance on Medic-
al Marijuana. One strain that is low in TCH but high in CBD (cannabidiol) reduced the epi-leptic seizures in a young girl named Charlotte Figi from 300 in a week to two to three a month.
The research facilities that are doing the tests for what ill-nesses can be cured are devel-oping a large variety of new strains all over the world. How-ever you are saying “Not in Ashcroft, Not In Our Backyard! We do not want new businesses, new jobs, taxes, etc.”
Doesn’t this kind of go against the Wellness theme? If we want to make it harder for those who need Medical Ma-rijuana to be well, should not they be able to access it locally? I would like to extend my com-pliments and thanks to all the people in both commun-ities who volunteer their time to make our com-munities a better, healthier place to live in - you do not get enough credit for your efforts.
Of course, the large pharmaceutical compan-ies, who stand to lose bil-lions as a result of people using Medical Marijuana and hemp oils to allevi-ate medical conditions and even cure Cancers, will want to stop this any way
they can. They would applaud Ashcroft Bylaw 789. They might even give a donation of some sort to the town to thank them. Who knows, maybe even a matching grant.
If you agree that they need to rethink this, maybe phone your councillors or even go to a town meeting to let your voice be heard.

Dear Editor,Having had close head-
on encounters with two Tri-
Mac trucks in recent weeks, I would suggest that the Village of Ashcroft needs to look close-ly at how these trucks are turn-ing from 97C into Evans “the Slough” Road. On the two oc-casions in question, trucks have been on the wrong side of the road, with no flashers or any other indication, from Superi-or Propane and across the CP crossing, necessitating my pull-ing over onto the gravel verge in the vicinity of the car wash to allow passage.
My fear is that at some time, in the not too distant future, an older driver, less aware and re-sponsive, will be involved in a head-on fatality. Vigilance is needed . . . and soon. Improved industry in Ashcroft is all well and good (and desirable), but improvement has to go hand-in-hand with safety.

Dear EditorAs I gaze into my crystal
ball and watch former col-leagues walking the picket lines, I ask the question that enters my mind. Have teach-ers become redundant? In the rapidly expanding elec-tronic age of iPods, iPads, lap tops and iPhones, etc., can education be delivered from some distant point by an instructor designated by the government to impart whatever knowledge they choose to feed children and adults?
The courses requiring a classroom are gradually dis-appearing from our schools, home economics, mechan-ics, woodworking, metal-working, drama, and music. What does that leave? Eng-lish, socials, math and sci-ence. My understanding is that penmanship is no long-er required, as students are unable to sign their names. This comes from friends who have gone with their children to open bank ac-counts only to find that their children do not know how
to sign the forms. These were not young elemen-tary school children, rather those well into high school. Where has that unique qual-ity which distinguished us as individuals gone?
We have become so de-pendent on the social media to connect us with others, texting rather than talking and tapping in to the internet to find solutions to problems as they arise. A world full of information at the touch of a screen, so much great-er than our imaginations can fathom.
Please understand this is not a condemnation of the colleagues I have had the opportunity to share many life experiences with. It is a brief look at what the fu-ture may hold. Think about it, no schools to maintain, no maintenance staffs, no school buses to be driven, no teaching assistants, no teachers. The only adminis-tration necessary would be those who decide and deliver that information they deem appropriate.
Yes and at some point do parents also become only the means of producing future generations of state educated clones, or do they (children) come from a long black tube. The government is taking
more control of the family, making decisions around what determines child abuse and how we discipline our children as well as what de-fines the family grouping.
Is the science fiction of yesteryear coming to pass? Are Huxley’s “Animal Farm” and Orwell’s “1984” as well as Fahrenheit 451 be-coming reality? I am also re-minded of the film “Logan’s Run” and at what point do human beings outlive their usefulness.
My hope is that the dif-ferences between educators and government can be re-solved rapidly, because I still believe that education is best when there is the classroom interaction between students and their teachers. Of course I am probably a bit of a dino-saur, I would rather talk than text and I enjoy social inter-action with others physically present.
Perhaps one day in the not too distant future I will be able to play tennis on the computer with my tennis pals and we won’t even have to leave our homes. Imagine not having to worry about the weather, playing anytime of the day or night and any season of the year. We can swing a racket at a screen and the computer will deter-
mine where the ball lands based on your swing. Your opponent does the same at their screen as
they see the ball coming into their room.
Are these the pennings of an old timer or perhaps a glimpse into the not so dis-tant future? As far as my fu-ture goes, I still enjoy meet-ing folks at the Safety Mart and Post Office. I like the shake of a hand or a hug, as opposed to the ring of a phone and a text.
I am so thankful that amid all the changes taking place, I know who holds to-morrow.

Dear EditorI would like to thank
everyone that donated to Ed Gyoba’s bench fund. We have reached the amount needed to purchase the bench, now we just have to wait for the order to be put in. I’m proud of the com-munities I live in and hope that we can help the Gyoba family find some peace in the tragedy of Ed’s passing. I look forward to the day that the bench can be placed in the village and will keep everyone posted when that time comes.

Golden Country presents... Past, Present & Beyond
GOLDEN COUNTRYBARBARA RODEN
What’s in a Name? - Pt. 4: The Forks on the Jackanet RiverOur summer road trip through our region, looking
at the stories behind the names of different places, continues south from Spen-ces Bridge. Road signs in that community encourage people to keep an eye open for the bighorn sheep which live in the area, and the long-closed store/trading post at Bighorn, to the left of Hwy 1 as you drive south, derives its name from these sheep. The Bighorn site once boast-ed a large auto court, with cabins, gas station, store, and pool, and was a stop-ping-off point for motorists traveling the Fraser Canyon.
The riverside location of the provincial park and campsite at Goldpan makes it a popular location. It was opened in 1956, and named by B.C. Parks em-ployee Chess Lyons in honour of the early goldpan-ners who had come to the area a century earlier in search of their fortunes.
Very little remains at Shaw Springs, which once housed a resort, and prior to that was a resting place for the mule and bull teams which transported goods up and down the canyon. It was named for a Mr. W. H. Shaw who, around 1930, applied for water rights from a spring in the area, which he named after him-self.
The Nicoamen River enters the Thompson from the left side of the highway. The river and falls con-tain an “a” in their names, while the site itself - which was once a First Nations settlement called Nequa-min - does not. Nequamin could be interpreted as “wolf”, since the river came from a lake that bore the name “wolf lake” or “wolf’s den”. However, another theory is that the word meant “[a] means of carving out a valley”, which the Nicoamen River has done over the centuries.
A location near the con� uence of the Nicoamen and Thompson rivers may have sparked off the Fra-ser Canyon gold rush. In 1856 a local First Na-tions man stopped to get a drink of water from the Nicoamen and noticed a large yellow pebble in the gravel. The inhabitants soon realized that there was money to be made by digging up the gold and selling
it to local Hudson’s Bay Company traders. The gold was sent to the near-
est mint, located in San Fran-cisco, and the story goes that when the mint Superintend-ent saw the size of the � rst shipment of gold sent from B.C. he informed friends in California that “the next ex-citement will be on the Fra-ser River”. A small group of miners left San Francis-co and headed north, � nding gold near Fort Yale, and the news soon spread. Within months some 30,000 would-be miners � ooded into the area, and the history of the Interior of B.C. was changed forever.
Skihist Provincial Park - with sites on both sides of the Trans-Canada - gets its name from the Nlaka’pamux word meaning “great crack be-tween rock” or “split rock”. The name was initially given to a distinctive nearby mountain, which was an important place to local First Nations. Both park sites have a view of the mountain, while the camp-ground on the east side of the highway contains a well-preserved portion of the original Cariboo Wag-on Road, completed in 1862.
The park could have had a very different name, however. Chess Lyons, the man who named sever-al of the region’s parks, was initially going to name it after a different nearby mountain that was more clearly visible, only to � nd that the mountain in ques-tion was called Mount Roach. As this did not seem a very good choice for the name of a provincial park, Skihist Mountain was chosen as inspiration instead.
And now we � nd ourselves approaching Lytton. I’ve already recounted how the town was named af-ter Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in 1858; yes, the same Bulwer-Lytton who, in his career as a novelist, gave us the immortal opening line “It was a dark and stormy night.” However, this was not the site’s � rst name. The local First Nations had called it Cumchin (from whence comes the present-day Kumsheen), which has had several meanings ascribed to it. The word could mean “cross mouth” (the Fraser crossing the mouth of the Thompson River), or “shelf that cross-
es over” (the � at shelves on either side of the Fraser River), or “great forks” (the intersection of the Fras-er and Thompson rivers). Pre-1858 the site had been known by white settlers as “The Forks”; Simon Fra-ser refers to it as such in 1808, when he wrote of the place “These Forks, [that] the Indians call Cumchin . . .” Colonel Richard Clement Moody of the Royal Engineers, in a letter dated Feb. 1, 1859, wrote of the new name that “The Govt. has given the name [Lyt-ton] to a town which will become very important at the junction of the Thompson & the Frazer [sic]. . . . Lytton would be appropriate to a River, the Lytton - I shall do all I can to persuade the Govt. to consent to the Thompson River being called the Lytton & give Mr. Thompson something else. It is not too late.”
Well, we know how that ended; there is no Lyt-ton River.
There is, however, the Fraser, named after the ex-plorer Simon Fraser. It had been discovered in 1793 by Sir Alexander Mackenzie, and had a bewildering array of names before being of� cially labelled the Fraser in 1813 (� ttingly, by David Thompson, after whom Fraser had named the Thompson River). Prior to that it was called the Tacoutche Tesse (by Mack-enzie); the Cowichans (by coastal First Nations); the Rio Floridablanca (by Spanish explorers); the New Caledonia; and the Jackanet. Poet T.S. Eliot wrote that “The naming of cats is a serious matter.” It’s a piece of cake, when compared with the naming of rivers.
Next time: we travel back to Cache Creek and head north.

Living WellAnother one for the Bucket List
A Hollywood movie called “The Bucket List” has made people think about what they’d like to accomplish before they “kick the bucket.”. In the movie, a man whose days have been num-bered, makes a list of items he wants to com-plete before he dies.
I have heard the phrase “bucket list” referred to a lot since the movie. It seems people have put some thought into what kinds of adventures they’d like to experience in this one life they have to live.
One of the items on my bucket list is to complete a long distance swim. I have some athletic friends who have accomplished running mara-thons: They tell me they run for relaxation and fun.
I have not felt this way about running, however I do feel this way about swimming. So in the spring I signed up and started training for a 7 km open water swim in Okanagan Lake on Aug. 9.
As soon as I signed up, I felt sick to my stomach. The most I’d swam at one time was 3 km, so to do more than double that all at once... Well, I had no idea what that would
be like. I began swimming drills
in the pool, just 40 minutes to one hour per workout, which usually translated to a couple kilometres. When the weath-er warmed, I could finally get into a lake and do a long-er open water swim. I donned my full length wet suit, and my swim cap and goggles. I had my trusty kayaker to accom-pany me (Alf) and my “swim buddy” attached to my waist (a bright orange inflated buoy that floats behind me). I was ready, I thought.
Open water swimming has its own set of challenges - waves, currents, living things in the water, and the feeling of being in the middle of a big body of water, far away from any land. On my first training swim in the open water I swam most of the 4 km in whitecaps, but after encouraging words from my kayaker and a will to finish, I managed to finish it.
The “living things” don’t worry me. Well, not until my Uncle in-formed me that there are 15 foot white fish in Kamloops Lake where I have been swimming. So when I did my next training swim, I noticed some
whiter colour below me and started thinking about what my uncle said. Right about that time, my hand touched my “swim buddy” which made me scream and jump. Whew! Just my swim buddy, not a huge sturgeon, haha!
As for the big water with land very far away, well... hav-ing a kayak with you and/or other swimmers seems to al-leviate that fear.
This past weekend, I did my longest training swim - 6 km. Slower than I had hoped, but I think now I’m ready for the 7 km swim. After a lit-tle more training, I will head to Peachland where, on Aug. 9, I’ll swim from the beach, across Okanagan Lake, around Rattlesnake Island and back to shore again. I’m excited and nervous. Whatever the weath-er or circumstances, I want to finish well and check one more adventure off my “bucket list.”

CiB judges’ given a whirlwind tour of townCiB Judges Tour
Communities in Bloom National Judg-es Steve Preston, re-tired from the City of Brampton (Ont.) Parks and Recreation Department and Gail Pearcey, President of Friends of Memor-ial University of Newfound-land’s Botanical Garden, St. John’s, NL spent July 20-21 touring Clinton in the Na-tional CiB competition.
In the short time that they had to view the commun-ity, the CiB committee took them to as many sites in the area as could be fitted into the schedule.
They saw the three cem-eteries (Kings Lake, Whis-pering Pines and the Pion-eer Cemetery), Eco Depot, Clinton Museum, Reg Conn Centennial Park, toured West Fraser Mill, viewed the Painted Chasm, Com-munity Garden, Robertson Square, the grounds and gar-dens of Gold Trail RV Park, the sewer lagoons and the new waterworks project. They took the self-guided Historic Walking Tour, met with Village Council and staff and generally viewed a great deal of the commun-ity in two days. They chatted
with residents who attended the welcome reception and dinner on Sunday, July 20. Time had to be scheduled to allow them to do the evalua-tion as well. It is so interest-ing to see one’s community through the eyes of someone else. It really made me ap-preciate all that we have here in Clinton!
The com-munity is evalu-ated on Land-scaped areas (including turf and ground-covers), Urban Forest Manage-ment, Natur-al and Cultural Heritage Con-servation, En-vironmental Awareness and Action, Tidi-ness Efforts, Community In-volvement and Floral Displays.
The results of the evalua-tion will not be known until the CiB Nation-al Symposium which is being held in Char-lottetown, PEI in September. A copy of the
Evaluation with the judges’ comments and recommen-dations will be sent to the Village following the Sym-posium.
Art Show PostponedThe Clinton Art and Cul-
tural Society Annual Art and Artisan Show and Sale had been scheduled for Aug. 8-12 but has been postponed until October.
Watch for informa-tion closer to the date of the show.
Funky FlowerpotsAs space here is a bit
tight this week, we’ll save the news on the friendly Funky Flowerpot Competi-tion with Lillooet until next week.
Suffice to say, Clinton won!

Cakewalk from p. 4
Blended cultures and old folks who never stoplaughter... (al-though I hold
each woman’s right to screech if she feels like screeching). It isn’t the beat of a heart bent over a small chocolate laced cream puff, unconsciously yearn-ing for something a little larger, pos-sibly, a chocolate laced eclair. (But you know, we must all obey the com-mon part of our senses now and then.) It isn’t the litany of sparrows chirping ceaselessly as they peck at the crumbs on the sidewalk.
No. It’s the chemistry of the place. The mix of habitat, both human and divine that defines what I think of Ash-croft.
Maui artist will visit AshcroftI’ve just learned that my daugh-
ter, Nadine Ramelb will be visiting her mom in Ashcroft. I expect to enjoy that special brand of exotic in her pe-tite frame (she’s actually shorter than her mom).
Nadine has made Maui her home for over 30 years, where she is well known as an artist. Her paintings hang in many public buildings in Maui. She contrib-utes to causes like shelters for women in distress, and is a devoted member of the Baha’i Faith, a religion that has a large following in Hawaii. She is work-ing on a biography titled, Carmel Cul-ture, a mixed race child growing up in
the 50’s and 60’s (in Winnipeg and Vancouver).
Nadine tells me via e mail that she expects to be in Can-ada on Aug. 9. It always amaz-es me how communication has speeded up so dramatically over the past 10 or 20 years. Nadine can send an e mail in seconds and I can reply. As a senior growing up in a world where letter writing and face to face visits were a way of life, telecommunications in today’s world can be pretty intimidat-ing. If you let it. You really have to get out there and find the magic of it all. You miss so much when you don’t.

age is “not for the faint of heart” isn’t one which gibes with the old ladies I know in Ashcroft. That’s for sure. Old ladies who have pedicures and painted toenails with flowers and shiney bits on them. Old ladies who treat themselves to weekly luncheons in our area dining establishment. Who play Bingo and enjoy a good laugh. Old ladies in their 90’s (some of them), who parachute from airplanes, who zip line
at Whistler. Those kind of old ladies. They kind of make you shake your head with admiration. Still enjoying life. Hugely.
HP SauceBob Tuohey and I argue. We like to
argue. Recently, talk at the Bakery was
about that pipeline from the tar sands in northern Alberta which they want to build through the Rockies to the west Coast. I said it was a “pipe dream”. Bob disagreed. We have a $10 bet going.
Now, just a few minutes before that argument, I told Bob that I liked HP sauce - the trail of which he puts along the top of his morning sausage roll. But I found it too pricey.
Well, some mornings later, Bob rose from his chair outside the Bakery, and said, “I have something to give you Esther”. Oh Oh, moaned Donna. (ex-pecting the worst) (as did I). A minute or so later, Bob came out with a bottle of HP sauce. There was a ribboned tag on the neck. One side of the tag said, “Esther’s Private Reserve”. The other side of the tag said, “Like HP sauce has persevered, so will the pipe lines”.
Black pioneer history in B.C.I am re-reading Crawford Killian’s
excellent books on the history of black migration from California to B.C. in 1859. Some were former slaves. Dis-crimination in the U.S. was particular-ly ugly for all persons of colour.
Governor James Douglas invited the black immigrants to settle in Salt-spring Island. The Island at that time was largely uncultivated, and the gov-ernor was wise to want it developed. Douglas himself was of half race des-cent. His mother was thought to be Cre-ole and his father was a Scottish planta-tion owner.
The black pioneers were truly re-markable in rebuilding their lives. Some of them became notable citizens. Mifflin Gibbs was acting mayor of Victoria at one point, and a successful business man. He once declared, “The
world is my country and all mankind my countrymen”. Others were teachers, farm-ers, miners. And at least one of them was a woman poet.
When I came to B.C. in 1959 from Manitoba, I met some of the descendents of these black pion-eers on Saltspring Is-land. Most of them had inter married and created what my daughter has called a “carmel culture”. Anyway, the title of Crawford Killian’s book is Go Do Some Great Thing. And yes, that is what these pioneers did. They did great things. Helped build the Province of British Columbia.
