Town applies for $5.5 M in grants

Cache Creek Council is once again looking for road reconstruction funding for four of its residential streets. The cost is estimated at $4.5 million.

At its May 28 meeting, Council agreed to apply for UBCM Capital Projects funding under the Gas Tax Agreement Strategic Priorities Fund to fi nance the design and reconstruction.

The Village can only submit two appli-cations for capital funding. If successful, the grants will contribute up to 100 per cent of the project cost. Council applied for funding under a different program in 2008 but the application was turned down.

Council’s motion originally included only SunValley Cres., Parke Rd. and Maclean Cres. at a cost of $2.662,369, but Old Cariboo Rd. was added before Council voted, bringing the total to $4,452,258.

The road reconstruction includes replace-ment of water services and storm sewers where required, and installation of pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalks.

The second application is for $928,500 for the “design and construction of walking and bi-cycling trails and trail ameneties that support non-vehicular modes of transportation that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

The projects are part of the Village’s Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan which was adopted in principle earlier in the meeting, with a revised budget.

Implementation of the plan was listed as a Long Term Goal in the Strategic Plan presented by Council in January. The grant, if the applica-tion is successful, will design and build the trail system outlined in the Master Plan, which in-volves crossing the highway and building a ped-estrian bridge over the river at a cost of roughly $30,000 to design and $160,000 to build.

“Over $3 million worth of projects,” noted Mayor John Ranta as Council discussed adopt-ing the Master Plan. “I have a hesitation to adopt a plan that has $3 million in projects [with-out having the funding to back it up]. I wonder how on earth that will happen, and doubt that it will.”

“Only if we have 100 per cent grants,” said Coun. Wyatt McMurray. “I had the same doubts too. I agree - I hate passing global plans with-out knowing we have the money. Every once in a while they come back to bite you.”

ASHCROFT RCMP DETACHMENT

POLICE REPORTWendy Coomber

Self-infl icted injuryMay 31 at 1 pm RCMP

received an abandoned 911 call. Police located the 21 year old Cache Creek man who made the call from his residence. He was distraught and put his fi st through a glass window while police were there. He was trans-ported to the Ashcroft hospi-tal for treatment.

Teamwork catches driverMay 31 at 5 pm police re-

ceived a report of a possible impaired driver westbound on Hwy 1. The vehicle was not located, but the com-plainant provided a descrip-tion and a license plate which was forwarded to Lillooet RCMP because the owner was registered with a Lilloo-et address. The vehicle was located by Lillooet RCMP but the driver was sober.

Truck tanks stolenJune 1 police received a

complaint that two large gas tanks had been stolen from Chanor’s Towing in Cache Creek some me the night be-fore. The aluminum tanks, valued at $1,500 each, had been removed from a semi truck and still had nozzles and hoses attached. Any-one with information relat-ing to the theft or the tanks are asked to call the RCMP ay 453-2216.

Electronics stolenJune 1 at 12:25 pm a resi-

dent of the Nugget Motel complained that his LG pay-as-you-go phone, two com-puter speakers and a Black-berry playbook had been stolen from his room while he slept. There were no signs of a break and enter, but anyone having information about the theft is asked to

contact RCMP at 453-2216.

Man tossed from carJune 2 at 11:30 am po-

lice attended Husky to inves-tigate a possible assault after a 29 year old Savona man showed up at the truck stop covered in blood, possibly with head injuries. He indi-cated at that time that he had been thrown out of a car on the highway. He was taken to Kamloops hospital for treat-ment. The following day he told police that he had not been tossed out of a car and refused to provide any fur-ther information.

Armed robberJune 2 at 2:30 am RCMP

were called to an armed rob-bery at the Chevron station in Cache Creek where a lone man wearing a garbage bag over his head and upper body produced a black-coloured handgun and demanded money from the clerk. He left when the clerk told him there was no money in the till, on foot and walking to-wards the north. He was de-scribed at 5’8” and heavyset, possibly 200 pounds or more. Under the garbage bag he wore a dark coloured shirt with white pin stripes, blue jeans and dark-coloured skate-board shoes with white soles. Anyone with in-formation about the suspect or other aspects of the attempted robbery are asked to phone

RCMP at 453-2216 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Bus accidentJune 2 at 11:25 pm po-

lice received a report that the shuttle bus chartered for the weekend HOG Run drove off the road on Hwy 97 in Cache Creek, blocking the southbound lane for a short time until it was towed away. No one was injured and there were no charges.

Waving a big knifeJune 3 at 2:30 am po-

lice were notifi ed of a knife-wielding man on the Ash-croft Bridge. Police located the 26 year old Ashcroft man and arrested him for pos-session of a weapon. Police learned that the man had re-cently purchased the collect-or’s item and was “playing” with it, thinking no one was around to see. Alcohol may have been a factor. The man was warned about displaying a weapon in public. No char-ges were laid.

Arrest warrant issuedJune 3 an arrest warrant

was issued for Kelly Sulin, 45, and Keith Kathrein, 45, of the Cache Creek area for breach of bail conditions.

The pair are under condi-tions relating to an investi-gation by the SPCA into a cat hoarding incident on the Sundance Ranch property back in January when SPCA and RCMP rescued over 40 cats from an out building. Police are attempting to lo-cate Sulin and Kathrein, but the two are welcome to turn themselves in to the Ashcroft Detachment.

Serving timeJune 5 David Lloyd Gar-

cia, 41, was convicted in Su-preme Court, Kamloops, for possession of child por-nography and sentenced to 90 days in jail, to be served intermittently at the Ashcroft RCMP Detachment. This is in addition to three months already spent in custody. In addition to the jail time, Gar-cia will be on probation for three years. He was arrested in December 2010.

Impaired by drugsJune 6 at 4:30 pm a Traf-

fi c Services offi ce stopped a northbound 2002 Ford F150 on Hwy 1 by the Red Hills rest stop after receiving a complaint of a possible im-paired driver. The 48 year old Prince George driver was issued a 24 hour suspen-sion for being impaired by prescription drugs and her vehicle was impounded for the same amount of time.

Pool gets rough start to the season

16 Mile undertakes costly rezoning for Hall

Local cadets move up through the ranks

From the Cache Creek Council meet-ing on May 28.

Roll Call: Mayor John Ranta and coun-cillors Lisa Dafoe, Herb Hofer, Wyatt McMurray and Dar-rell Rawcliffe.

Infrastructure Planning Grants

TheVillage will submit funding ap-plications to the Min-istry of Community & Rural Development under its Infrastruc-ture Planning Grant Program for funding for a Water System Leak Detection Study, a Well Protection Plan study, and for Sewage Treatment Plant Main Lift Station design ($32,000).

“It gives us a ‘shov-el ready’ design,” said Coun. Wyatt Mc-Murray. “It may just sit on the shelf, but it’s a very important piece of information to have.”

Swimming PoolCoun. Darrell

Rawcliffe reported that the swimming pool was closed after having a problem with chlorine injection and that a new chlorine in-jection system has been installed. He said the new system didn’t seem to be working

and the pool staff were adding chlorine. But that wasn’t bringing the chlorine count up, either.

Staff later realized that the chlorine in the container they were using had evaporat-ed. They replaced it with a fresh container, but by then the water in the pool was regis-tering bacterial counts and Interior Health re-quired the Village to keep the pool closed to the public until the chlorine took care of the bacteria.

The pool was open again by the end of the week.

Next MeetingJune 11 at 7 pm in

the Village Offi ce. The Village’s Annual Re-port will be presented at this time, and mem-bers of the public are welcome to ask ques-tions about it.

The Annual General Meeting of the 16 Mile Community Society was held June 4 in the comfort of the meeting room at the Historic Hat Creek Ranch.

The usual business was covered: The Treasurer’s Report showed a healthy bank account due to over $1,600 do-nated to the Society in memory of Don

Spooner who passed away Jan. 20.There was a great deal of discus-

sion about the problem we are having with rezoning the community lot. The TNRD said it is presently zoned Resi-dential and will have to be rezoned for Community use. This means we have to pay an engineer to check the prop-

erty and report to Interior Health as to the suitability for water and septic. We are gambling that this large expense will pay off, and allow us to qualify for a government grant to cover the cost of drilling a well. We are presently fi ll-ing our water trucks for the fi re fi ghting equipment from Arlene Lowe’s irrig-ation well. We really need to have our own water supply.

Because we are only part way through this maze of Bureaucracy and Red Tape, the current executive agreed to carry on: President Al Midgley, vice president Stan Oakes, secretary Lou-ise Oakes and Treasurer Lesley Jos-lin. There will be a Director’s meeting as soon as the engineer’s report is com-plete.

There will be another General Meet-ing when the mining company, Hunter Dickenson, has news for us on their ex-ploration plans for our area.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Village Coun-cil: I just wanted to let you know how delighted I was to read that you have taken action so quickly regarding the backyard burning ban. Many Ashcroft lungs will be breathing deeply next Spring.

Now if we could only get the train whistles to be quiet. The trains will continue to go through our village but maybe a little more quietly.

Transport Canada has told me that many commun-ities across the nation have implemented a train whis-tle ban. There is a process and he urged me not to be-come discouraged. We have to want this and make it a priority.

Just think how many less grumpy people there would be in Ashcroft because we are enjoying a full night’s sleep. I think of the little boy in kindergarten who told me as we were reading a book about trains how the whis-tles wake him all the time. I am sure he and I are not the only ones. Research is con-

stantly popping up now on how important sleep is to one’s health.

One step at a time and just, maybe, Ashcroft could be proud of its “new” brand “Wellness Awaits You.”

RE: “Reduction in ER Hours Proposed.”

Dear EditorI am wondering if any-

one else is as confused as I am by the story in last week’s Journal informing us that our hospital does not qualify for funding to as-sist in keeping the ER open more hours to serve our area.

Did you all go huh? when you read the quote at-tributed to Community Dir-ector Bryan Redford tell-ing us “The issue is around posted hours. That is real-

ly THE issue – what are the posted hours as it relates to this process (of applying for the grant).”

What was he talking about? Why did no one call him on that statement?

The story goes on to ex-plain: REEF is a quarter-ly grant that can be used by physicians to attract lo-cums, update ER equip-ment etc. but the ER must remain open during its post-ed hours. Ashcroft’s post-ed hours are 24 hours, seven days a week?

First of all, posted by whom?

If we are posted for 24/7, why aren’t we open for 24/7. Shouldn’t IHA be held responsible to see that we are open 24 hours if we are so posted?

And then further confu-sion comes when the news story goes on to inform us there is no grant for ER’s with closures???

But isn’t that what the grant is all about, to help fi nd ways to keep the ER open 24/7?

The reasons for my con-fusion is that in reading all

through the document out-lining the pur-pose of REEF, the program

objectives, the program de-scription and the eligibil-ity requirements I did not see anything about “post-ed hours” as a disqualifi ca-tion and I’m afraid I have to believe its a made up excuse for not getting the job done!

In quoting from the opening statement on the purpose for the REEF: “This program is intend-ed to encourage the provi-sion of reliable public ac-cess to emergency services in health authority designat-ed emergency departments in rural British Columbia served by fee-for-service physicians.”

Then I go on to read, “REEF Program Objectives are: To strengthen stabil-ity of public access to hos-pital Emergency Depart-ment (ED) services in rural communities. To increase ED capacity, if required, by increasing the number of health care service provid-ers supporting the hospital ED when possible. To sta-bilize public access to hos-

I have to say it - I just don’t get it.

This is the 11th Graffi ti Days I’ve at-

tended. It’s still as awesome as ever. I love

the cars. I love the little extras that people

do to them - the beautiful paint jobs, the

detailing, the little Betty Boop dashboard

ornaments, the fuzzy dice... And I love the

people who are drawn to these wonderful

old cars.

It’s a fun weekend and just about every-

one is in a great mood. Even if the rain

clouds feel like they’re hovering six inch-

es away from your head. There’s some-

thing about those rock ‘n roll tunes from

the 1950s.

My hometown, Windsor, was #1 Car-

town, Canada when I was growing up.

Home of the Chrysler assembly plant, a

Ford plant and I think there was some GM

there at one time, too.

I remember the company brought it

some of its old cars for a show. They were

in prime mint condition. They lined them

up in the assembly plant and let the public

have a look.

What I don’t get is... the smoke show. I

don’t get why it’s so darn popular. People

sit in those seats for a couple of hours and

breathe in vapourized rubber and exhaust.

And they’re ridiculously happy!

I’ve got nothing against people being

happy. But I ended up leaving Windsor be-

cause of that smoke. Between Windsor and

Detroit, there was just way too much pol-

lution from the cars, trucks and factories. I

needed somewhere where I could breath.

Isn’t that one of the best things about

where we live? If I wanted to suck in ex-

haust and rubber all day, I could sit on a bus

bench in downtown Kamloops.

Every time I take pictures at the smoke

show, I go home smelling absolutely dis-

gusting. The clothes are easy to to clean,

but my hair, my skin takes a bit more scrub-

bing.

And yet, perfectly sane people who I

know, really get off on that smoke show.

I just don’t get it. And I’m thinking that I

probably never will.

But, we all have our odd little past times

and hobbies.

This bill could forever change the landscape of our great coun-try should the juggernaut of an unrelenting Conservative majority have its way in the next couple of weeks.

Bill C38 is anything but a budget bill. The Harp-er political power brokers have put more parts into this bill than a jumbo LEGO set. This clumsy, confusing 452

page bill rewrites 70 laws, ranging from old age se-curity, employment insur-ance, immigration... even repealing the age old Fish-eries Act and replacing it with a mere shell of its for-mer self.

Is it all right to shove due

diligence and democracy to the back of the bus in favour of partisan politics with lit-tle regard for your constitu-ency? Apparently so.

When Kootenay-Col-umbia Conservative David Wilks recently shared his concerns about the econom-ic-driven, overloaded Bill C-38 with his constituency, it didn’t take long for word to reach Ottawa. Shortly thereafter his website clear-ly stated: ”I wish to clari-fy my position with regard to Bill C-38... I support this bill, and the jobs and growth measures that it will bring Canadians.”

Holy Flip Flop, Batman. Have we come to a point in Canada where Democ-racy will have a hard time fi nding the front of the bus any time soon...if at all? If the constituency is no long-er represented by whom they elected, no longer has a

champion to fi ght their bat-tles, no longer can count on the leaders to bring their message to Ottawa... then no longer can we call our-selves a true Democracy.

For Mr. Wilks to have chosen to depart the mor-al high ground by plunging to the murky depths of par-tisan politics clearly illus-trates that short term politic-al life takes precedent over all else.

We need to send a mes-sage. This isn’t the way Democracy does business.

When election time comes we need to remem-ber Bill C-38. We need to remember David Wilks.

We need to send a mes-sage: we need to send Mr. Wilks to the unemployment line... in the great name of Democracy.

Summer Reading Clubs starting up

The benches we donated to the Village of Ashcroft by the Second Time Around store are now in place, in front of the Safe-ty Mart and across the street.

The number of ap-plications for grants has increased as well as the amounts being requested, so we need to increase our dona-tions to accommodate them. Please, if you are cleaning out your house, have leftovers from a garage sale, an estate, or have pur-chased new furniture and are tossing out your old useable fur-niture, remember us.

All the money we raise goes back into the community to non-profi t groups. Everyone in town has benefi ted one way or another from the store - whether it is from a sporting event, music-al event, rodeo, fall fair, or just a place to sit and rest.

We are open Wed-nesday and Friday from 9:30 am to 3 pm. From July 4 to Sept. 4, we will be open on Wednesdays only to allow our volunteers time to enjoy the won-derful summers we have.

For further infor-mation, please call Val at 457-9337 or Anne at 457-9781.

Once again, children can join the TNRD Library System for its Summer Reading Club “Strange … But True?” which runs from July

3 to Aug. 25. For emerging readers, the TNRDLS offers a Read-To-Me Club, and for teenagers, a teen reading club can be ac-cessed through www.tnrdlib.ca.

When children sign up for the pro-gram they will receive a reading log to record their summer reading; collect weekly stick-ers; take part in a var-iety of fun activities; enter exciting contests for great prizes; and

every reader that completes the program will re-ceive a special award.

Regular reading during the summer helps kids maintain or even improve theirreading and literacy skills and studies show that voluntary reading is the No. 1 factor in establishing good reading habits. Summer Reading Club makes reading fun and library staff can help kids fi nd just the right book or magazine from among a wide variety of library materials.

Last year more than 2,300 children across the TNRD participated in the Summer Reading Club. Children can start registering for the Sum-mer Reading Club on the following dates:

- Saturday, June 23, at the Logan Lake Li-brary.

- Tuesday, June 26, at the Ashcroft Library, Clinton Library and Savona Library.

- Wednesday, June 27, at the Lytton Library.- Tuesday, July 3, at the Cache Creek Li-

brary.

B.C. reaches four year deal with doctorsby Tom FletcherBlack PressThe B.C. government has reached a

tentative agreement for a four-year con-tract with the province’s 10,000 family doctors and specialists.

The government released few details of the agreement, which must be ratifi ed by members of the B.C. Medical Asso-ciation in a vote to be completed by the end of July. The BCMA board is recom-mending acceptance.

Health Minister Mike de Jong said the

tentative deal represents a 1.5 per cent in-crease in the province’s overall budget for doctor fees over the fi rst two years. That translates to an additional $45 million in each year.

The proposed agreement doesn’t specify an increase for years three and four, but rather commits the government and the BCMA to negotiate that amount later.

The health ministry promises that the new deal will improve patient access to family doctors, including in rural areas,

and improve recruitment and retention of specialists.

De Jong said an additional $20 million is available for specialists, but it is up to the BCMA’s various committees to work out how it is shared.

“There will now be a discussion with-in the specialist groups about how that will be allocated,” de Jong said.

The government is still negotiating with other health care employee groups and much of the rest of the provincial public service,

under a mandate the government called “cooperative gains.” The ministry and the BCMA have agreed to a review of labora-tory services that de Jong said may save $10 million to go to other priority areas.

The 10 unions representing 15,000 community social services workers an-nounced last week that they will be join-ing other provincial employees in taking a strike vote after four months of talks. Union leaders say their members are the lowest-paid in the provincial public ser-vice, and there are no savings to be found to fi nance a raise.

You don’t like to pitch a fit, but if you want to be heard, that’s what you’re going to have to do. Make your stance known, Capricorn. Only then will you get the action you seek.

Attention, Aquarius. Someone close to you has something to say, and they need you to listen. A home improvement project turns out better than expected.

It’s a tall order, Pisces, but it’s not impossible. Gather your supplies and the troops and get crackin’. A report receives glowing reviews just in time.

Please, Aries. You are a go-getter, but sometimes you go too far. Keep that in mind this week as you work with others to get a project off the ground.

Stop dragging your feet, Taurus. You know what needs to be done, so do it. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can move on to something you really want to do.

Pragmatic Gemini. You’re always looking to get things done well in the shortest time possible, but sometimes just won’t work. Patience is key.

Clarify, Cancer. Make certain you are understood on all accounts this week. Leave nothing to chance. A friend drops by with an unusual request.

Bickering rarely solves anything, so put a stop to the madness the first chance you get, Leo. You will get nothing done if you don’t.

A loved one has a meltdown, and you’re left to pick up the pieces. You can do it, Virgo, and you will do it well. A new do lifts spirits in more ways than one.

Clam up, Libra, and you will regret it. Prepare to present your idea and watch the sparks fly. The to-do list nears completion with an addition.

A change in attitude picks up the pace, and the team finishes well ahead of schedule. Bravo, Scorpio. Your efforts won’t go unnoticed.

What’s that, Sagittarius? Your pleas are falling on deaf ears? Perhaps it’s your method of presentation. Be bold, and you’ll get what you seek.

June 2012 - Week 2Aries, your ambition will take you to new places this week. Channel your energy in a constructive method to make the most of this renewed vigor.

Capricorn, though you can see quite clearly what you need to do this week, you may have to refrain from taking any action for some time. Try to be patient a little longer.

Aquarius, things have been going your way and you are getting more and more excited about the future. This in�ux of enthusiasm is just what you need.

Your big ideas are highly valued, Pisces. Let others know what you are thinking and don’t be surprised if others ask for your advice.

Taurus, now is the time to do slow and steady work, rather than experimenting with new methods. You’ll have time for fun and some trial and error later on.

Gemini, for some reason you feel compelled to get started on something new in the next few days. This may be a job or a relationship -- only time will unveil the secrets.

Cancer, you will need to take an intellectual approach to solving what has been troubling you recently. Lists and careful consideration might be necessary.

Embrace spontaneity this week, Libra. It could turn out to be something exciting and fun, which is just what you need at this time in your life.

Scorpio, take a step back and allow an upset family member a little breathing room this week. It’s best not to add fuel to the �re in this particular situation.

Get out and try to meet some new people, Sagittarius. Constantly add to your collection of networking contacts, because you never know when you’ll need to call in a favor.

You have to approach someone who hasn’t been doing his or her share of the work, Leo. Tread gently because there could be a very good reason why this person has been �oundering.

Open yourself up to a new line of thinking, Virgo. There are many different possibilities that you may have overlooked before now. Try to expand your horizons.

June 24, 201218 hole Tournament with a Steak or Chicken Dinner to follow. 4 Person Teams playing 4 ball best ball. $60 per person, all proceeds will be going to the fight towards

ON A BRIGHTER

NOTE

Ever since my daughter learned to walk she’s

been pushing around a pint-sized shopping

cart in the grocery store. Now she’s asking to do the shopping without me.

“Please Mom,” she

pleaded on our last trip to the store. “You wait in the car and I’ll get everything by myself.”

I realize she’s a capable, independent young lady, but really? She’s only eight.

“You can do the shopping,” I agreed, handing her the short list of things we needed. “I’ll just hang out in the magazine aisle until you’re ready to pay.”

Resisting any help at all, she finally agreed that she would come and get me when she was done. So off she went on her own to tackle the list. She was excited that people would see her shopping alone and perhaps mistake her for a very small grown-up. About 20 minutes later she was back with all the items crossed off and her little buggy full.

Yet it wasn’t enough that she wanted to play the part of Mommy; she wanted to play cashier too. “Oh no,” I

complained. “Not the self checkout.”

“Please Mom!” she said. “It’s fun!”

Okay, I know when I was her age I would have loved shopping by myself and then checking out the groceries on my own afterward. But now that I’m older I’m not only less enthusiastic about shopping, I like to lazily stand at a regular full-serve check-out thumbing through magazines while the cashier does all the work.

Since Daisy had done such a great job and

was excited to scan the groceries like she does when she’s with her dad, I prolonged her fun and handed her my debit card. Naturally I stood back a few feet out of her line of vision so I didn’t cramp her style.

Watching her play-act being an adult, I was

reminded of how much of this kind of thing I wanted to do when I was younger and how I yearned to one day be doing them for real.

“Enjoy being a kid,” my parents would tell me. “It doesn’t last long and being a grownup isn’t as easy as you think.” It sure looked easy to me. They got to go to sleep when they wanted, eat whatever their hearts desired and make every single decision, while my little brother and I had to play by their rules. I couldn’t wait to grow up and be the bo=ss.

Knowing now what my parents were talking

about, I’m also telling my children to enjoy being a kid because it really doesn’t last long.

With summer holidays on

the horizon my children aren’t asking to do all the fun things I associate with being a child; they both want to get a job.

“I want to work in a restaurant or babysit,” my 11 year old son said recently.

“Me too!” agreed Daisy.

A little young for all that, I made up a list of extra jobs for them to do around the house so they could earn their own money and I could have some more help.

“Driving a car must be so much fun,” Daisy said on our way home from the store. “I can’t wait ‘til I drive.” Maybe in another eight years, baby girl.

For now, just stick with the shopping cart and your bicycle and enjoy being a kid.

Tragically, every year in BC countless dogs suffer and die after being thrown from the back of pickup trucks. Consequently, your pet should never ride unrestrained in the

back or body of any vehicle. There are three simple options:1. Put the dog in the vehicle with you. Use a crate or dog seatbelt as a restraint, or

2. Secure your dog in a kennel fastened to the centre of the truck, or3. Secure your dog with a harness and short-tether leash to ensure safety from

strangulation and death.For more information visit www.spca.bc.ca www.spca.bc.ca

The Journal Tuesday, June 12, 2012 www.ash-cache-journal.com A 13COMMUNITY

Eleven ladies an-swered the roll call at our June 5 United Church Women meet-ing.

President Lynn Lancaster welcomed every-one and led us in the Devo-tional, taken from the book, Dear Lord They Want Me to Give a Devotional by John Shroeder and Shane Goth. The topic “Beginning”was about a fellow who was impatient and built a structure without a proper foundation. Over time, the structure crumpled and fell to pieces. Everything we build should have a good foundation, be it a building or our philoso-phies in life. The good founda-tion is prayer. Lynn closed the devotion with a prayer.

On June 3 our U.C.W. led the worship for church and everything went well and from the comments we noted it was well received. We were cele-brating the 50th anniversary of the U.C.W.

A Bake Sale was discussed and we decided to wait until September to plan for one.

A few pieces of corres-pondence were dealt with and a review was made of the BC Conference U.C.W. meeting. The National U.C.W. Anniver-sary celebration will be held in Ontario July 23-27. One mem-ber will be going. The West-ern Women’s Conference will

be Sept. 28-30, ad the Retreat plus the conference is Sept. 28-Oct. 2. The theme is Sharing Stories - Changing Lives.

Reports were given: Treas-urer, Sunshine, Archives, Pub-licity and Outreach. Reta Rob-ertson has received sever-al Campbell soup labels - a big thank you to those who save these for us for our Out-reach program which helps with Christian work else-where.

Our church will be host-ing Soups On at the Angli-can Church on June 24.

We had our break for coffee, tea and fellowship time. After-wards, we were asked to come up with ideas for fundraising for our Sep-tember meet-ing. Some of us will be helping wit

the Barbecue and sale at the Anglican Church on June 16.

Reta told us about the work of the U.C.W. being recognized at the

conference.Next meeting is Sept. 4 at

our Zion United Church Hall, 2 pm. Any interested ladies are invited to come as a vis-itor or to join us. You are most welcome. We closed with the United Church Womens Pray-er.

We wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe summer.
