How to part a miner from his gold Reni Lind, lead interpreter at Historic Hat Creek Ranch, explained “Mining the Miners” at the historic site’s recent Community Appreciation Day in September. In words and deeds, he explained how to keep a bunch of rowdy gold miners in line while stealing their gold, serving cheap whiskey and squeezing every cent possible from them while they caroused - common practices in bars and roadhouses on the Gold Rush Trail.
Oasis Plaza cleanup extended to Oct. 15 The Oasis Plaza owners were invited to make their case before an open meeting of Council on Sept. 29, but there was no representation or communication, other than a letter from Joe Carhoun on Aug. 30 requesting reconsideration. In his letter, Carhoun said he wanted to do a permanent fix, rather than the temporary fix the Village had suggested in sheeting in the front of the building with plywood. He also took strong exception to the Village’s request to take down the signs on the building, although he seems to have confused the attached signs with the large free-
standing sign in the parking lot. “We have to have this signage,” he wrote. “It also serves as lighting for our parking lot.” Administrator Dan Plamondon said that he advised Carhoun that Council would confirm, cancel or amend their decision based on his presentation at the Council meeting. “We want to be fair and be seen to be fair,” said Mayor John Ranta. Plamondon recommended that they extend Carhoun’s deadline to respond for another 16 days to Oct 15 because of the timing of his response. “My taste in light of the fact there’s
been no representation is to confirm remedial actions and send him notice of that,” said Mayor Ranta. “His letter pretty much confirms his intention to not do anything we ask,” observed Coun. Herb Hofer, who asked if the Village was required to provide more time. The owner had 15 days to appeal Council’s decision, said Ranta. He waited until the 14th day, “so we’re still giving him 30 days to do the work.” Plamondon said if there is no work done on the building by Oct. 15, the Village can commence action on the 16th without Council’s authorization.

Transportation is an important item in the area if local Village concerns are any indication. Each year at the Union of BC Municipalities convention local politicians are invited to meet with Cabinet ministers to go over local issues. Ashcroft, Cache Creek and Clinton all met with Minister of Transportation Todd Stone last week over different matters. Ashcroft Council met with Premier Christy Clark and four ministers, one of whom was Stone. Ashcroft and the city of Delta met with Clark to talk about Ashcroft Terminal expansion. Ashcroft Mayor Andy Anderson said AT needs more infrastructure on its property and Evans Road needs upgrading. That would also help Koppers (formerly Ashcroft Treating) which is located at the end of the road. Anderson said the Premier “basically asked Todd Stone to help us out with what we need.” “She gets it,” said Anderson, referring to the importance of AT. “They all get it.” He said Ashcroft also met with Health Terry Lake and Interior Health in separate meetings to talk about medical services and staffing at the hospital. He said they were assured that there would be no changes - either reduction or expansion - in the next five years. They’re still looking for doctors for us, said Anderson. Cache Creek Council wanted to reiterate to Minister Stone that the village’s economy was being held up by the two-lane bridge at the north end of town. Mayor John Ranta said they asked him specifically about work on the bridge, which was supposed to be expanded under Phase 1 of the Cariboo Connector, and now Phase 2 has started. “It sounds as if they’re prepared to look at it,” said Ranta. “I don’t think highway right of way is a problem, it just needs engineering and planning. Hopefully having met with him twice over this, he will recognize it is a source of frustration for Cache Creek.” Clinton Council also met with Stone to ask him to reconsider removing the speed transition zones in and out of town and to support their solution in fixing a culvert installed by the Ministry years ago which is now the source of flooding the residents of Tingley St. every spring. See Striking A Balance on p. 9 of this issue for more news about Clinton’s meetings with Cabinet ministers.

Head banger
Sept. 21 at 1 am RCMP were transporting an intoxicated prisoner from Spences Bridge back to cells in Ashcroft. The 36 year old Kelowna man was arrested for causing a disturbance there. While en route to Ashcroft, the man repeatedly hit his head against the partition between the front and back seats of the police car, causing a large gash on his forehead. Ambulance attendants were called to examine the man and bandage his wound before he was lodged in cells for the night.
Dangerous driving
Sept. 22 a 53 year old Ashcroft woman reported that she was almost run off Barnes Lake Rd. the previous day at around 6 pm by a man in a pickup truck. The other driver stopped and pulled over, but the complainant said she was too upset to talk to him at the time. The matter is still under investigation.
Trailer unroadworthy
Sept. 22 at 10:41 am police received a call from Roadhouse Towing about a commercial trailer they had hauled from Lytton. They were concerned that it was not road worthy. Police attended, along with a Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement officer to inspect the trailer. It was determined that the trailer had enough defects – including no brakes and flat tires - to warrant being taken off the road.
Feeling harassed
Sept. 22 at 4 pm a man called to report that his ex wife was spying on him while he picked their son up from preschool, and he wanted her charged with harassment. He said he didn’t see her there, but he saw her car. He was advised that it didn’t fall under the guidelines of criminal harassment.
Back to school
Sept. 22 at 5 pm a woman attended the Detachment to report that her children had been threatened by another child on the school bus earlier that day. The 27 year old Cache Creek mother of the subject of complaint became bel-

ligerent when contacted by police. She was on the bus with her child and said the incident was initiated by the children of the complainant. The principal of the school was contacted.
Stolen CN equipment recovered
Sept. 23 sometime overnight an unknown person used the keys to a CN truck to enter the vehicle and steal two cutoff saws, a portable radio and the truck’s computer. The vehicle was parked in Cache Creek near Chanor’s. On Sept. 26, the stolen items were recovered. Following an anonymous tip, police officers and CN employees located the items that were stashed in a wooded area on Collins Rd.
Theft inquiry leads to arrest
Sept. 25 police received a complaint regarding tools being stolen from the tool pouch on a motorcycle parked at KAL Tire on Sept. 11. The complainant said that he’d been told that two men were trying to sell the tools. He confronted the pair and told them to “get out of town”. Police spoke to the two men and arrested one of them on an unrelated matter. Nathan Turner, 26, was arrested and charged with failing to comply with probation orders which included curfew and reporting to the Detachment. He was held for a court appearance in Kamloops the following day.
Drunken threats
Sept. 25 at 9 pm police responded to a call at the Nugget Motel in Cache Creek where an intoxicated former tenant was yelling at the manager. He was gone before police arrived.
Erratic driver ticketed
Sept. 26 at 4 pm police received a complaint of an erratic driver on Hwy 1 near Juniper Beach. The complainant said the vehicle was swerving in and out of traffic and driving all over the road. Police located the vehicle in Cache Creek and stopped it. The 34 year old Cache Creek driver showed no signs of impairment, but was

Driver shaken up
Sept. 27 at 8 pm police received a report of a single vehicle accident on Hwy 1 about 10 km east of Cache Creek after a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier impacted with a deer. The car ended up in the ditch with minor damage, but was towed. The driver, an 18 year old Loon Lake woman, and her passenger were shaken but not injured.
Swerved for deer
Sept. 27 at 10 pm police received a report of a single vehicle accident in Ashcroft after a black Volkswagen went into the ditch on Government St. near Tingley. The vehicle had minor damage and the driver was not at the scene. The vehicle’s owner, a 33 year old Ashcroft man, and passenger at the time of the accident, said his wife swerved to miss a deer and they ended up in the ditch.
Hay on fire
Sept. 28 at 11:30 pm police were dispatched to Semlin Ranch for traffic control on the highway after it was reported that hay was burning. No structures were damaged and it was unknown how much hay was destroyed. The owner advised police that he believed it was deliberately set and that he smelled gasoline. The ranch is just outside Cache Creek’s fire protection service.
Child’s bicycle found
Sept. 29 at 11 am a 54 year old Cache Creek woman reported finding a child’s bike in the ditch behind a cargo container on her property. If anyone is missing a child’s bike, they can contact the RCMP at 453-2216.
Speeding along
Sept. 29 at 11 am Traffic Services stopped a vehicle on Hwy 1 by Hwy 97C after witnessing it speeding at 129 kph in the 100 kph zone. The driver and passenger were arrested after the officer noted the odour of marijuana inside the vehicle. The vehicle was searched and a small amount was found under the passenger seat. The marijuana was seized and the 30 year old man from Calgary was issued a ticket for speeding.
Report on pilot’s fatal accident In its investigation report (A13P0165) released Sept. 30, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) found the young student pilot of a Cessna 172 was not able to recover from a flight condition that led to a high-speed descent prior to colliding with terrain near Cache Creek last summer. The pilot and sole occupant of the aircraft suffered fatal injuries and the aircraft was destroyed. On Aug. 6, 2013, Lorne Perrault, 16, was flying a Cessna 172 operated by TyLair Aviation Ltd. on a two-hour training flight. The pilot and instructor discussed the training plan before the flight, and exercises were to be conducted in
the company’s training area 15 nautical miles west of the Kamloops Airport, as per normal practice. Following manoeuvres in the training area, the aircraft moved north of the practice area to an area of higher terrain and was climbing. Shortly after climbing to 9000 feet, the aircraft disappeared from radar and did not reappear. When the aircraft became overdue, the instructor notified search and rescue. The aircraft and the pilot were found the next day. The investigation found that the aircraft collided with terrain 30 nautical miles west of Kamloops at about 4500 feet above sea See Pilot on p. 13

Council purchases land for park Cache Creek Council announced this week that it had completed the purchase of 2.2 hectares (ha) of farmland at the north end of the current pool park for $137,000 plus the cost of subdividing and registration. And plus the cost of $7,400 worth of new fencing, which was approved at the Sept. 29 Council meeting where the land purchase was announced. Mayor John Ranta said the purchase had been in the works for some time, having been reviewed by the TNRD last October and by the ALC this Spring. The town’s Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan, written in 2011, also seems to have anticipated the addition of the land. Council supported the purchase, said Ranta, because they hope it will mitigate Spring flooding in the park. He said he observed floodwater moving from the field into the park, and that a berm between the properties should allow the water to return to the river without entering the park. Marg Durnin asked Council why no mention had been made of the purchase until now. Ranta replied that land negotiation could be discussed in private by local governments. Durnin pointed out that the property will be subject to large capital expenditures in the future, such as the fence, and yet it was not mentioned in the 5 Year Capital Plan. Ranta said Council saw the piece of property as a parkland legacy to the Village, and thus the money for it will come out of the Village’s Landfill Legacy Reserve, which has $3-4 million in it. The Jounal questioned whether the park’s flooding was caused by water coming from the field, saying they had observed water coming up through the ground inside the park during this year’s flooding. If that’s the case, said Ranta, it won’t reduce flooding. But it can be turned into a sports field in the future.

BC Hydro asked to answer for power outages BC Hydro representatives attended the Sept. 29 Cache Creek Council meeting to explain the frequency of power outages in the Village this summer. Four outages in June resulted in about seven and a half hours of no electricity. A four-hour outage on July 1 effectively ended the town’s Canada Day celebrations
and dance in the Community Hall. BC Hydro Community Relations Manager Dag Sharman told Council that one of the key causes of power outages in BC is trees and branches on the line. This summer, he said, crews trimmed trees. And when they work on the lines, they turn the reclosers off to pre-
vent accidents. The recloser turns the power off and back on again in a split second. When the recloser is off, the power doesn’t come back on until a manual inspection is made to determine that it is safe to do so. Sharman said the reclosers were turned off all summer because they were making the lines safe from trees. “These are the lines between Ashcroft and Cache Creek?” asked Coun. Wyatt McMurray. “I’m trying to get my head wrapped around all of the trees between here and Ashcroft - all two of them.” Sharman was joined by Pete Smith from the Cache Creek Distribution Office. Smith said the crews could have been out by Walhachin or north by Bonaparte Ranch. The Ashcroft & District Hospital Auxiliary presented a donation to the Better At Home program in Mayor John Ashcroft. Donations are used for the program’s Basket of Services - housekeeping, transportation, Ranta noted that lawn care, home maintenance, snow shovelling, grocery shopping and friendly visiting. The program when he looked has received donations so far from the Lions, Legion, Second Time Around, Royal Purple and now the at the BC Hydro website to Hospital Auxiliary.: Shirley Holowchuk, Elsie Howard, Irene Truema, BAH director Sandy Williams and see where a Kitty Murray.
Keeping it Better At Home
couple of the outages originated, it looked like it happened around Walhachin and yet it took out most of downtown Cache Creek. “If I was determined to provide best service to a municipality and was turning off the (recloser) reset switch, wouldn’t it make sense to have a guy stand there to ask if it’s okay to turn the power back on?” he asked them. “We don’t have resources or willingness to incur the cost to have a man sitting there all summer,” said Sharman. “They’re there anyhow, but there wasn’t anyone stationed in Cache Creek because of staff shortages.” McMurray asked why they would leave the reset switch off during a long weekend when no one would be working on the lines, and when Cache Creek businesses would be busy selling gas, food and other things requiring electricity. “Couldn’t you have turned the reset switch back on?” he asked. Smith said they were following policy, but that has now been changed and the switch will be turned back on during weekends when the crews aren’t working. In Cache Creek you have 10 weeks to make enough money to pay bills for the year, said McMurray. Losing electricity during that time is a big deal to businesses.

Stand up proud and be counted There are very few good excuses for not voting in the upcoming local government election (Nov. 15), such as being out of town or being new to town. Being out on the town doesn’t cut it as an excuse. Every three – now four – years we choose five people to sit on our town councils to make decisions on our behalf – decisions ranging from granting a variance on a building permit to local road improvements to how to manage and charge for taxes and utilities. Most of us have opinions on matters that affect the things that town councils control. Standing for public office means you’re willing to stand up and fight for your opinions. There are hundreds of adults in town, and we all can’t sit around a council table - we’d never be able to agree on a course of action - so we elect a small number and hope that they will both express our views on council and also do what’s best for the town. Still not sure how to vote? Become acquainted with your candidates. We’re voting for mayor and four council members and one school board trustee. Those who live outside the Village boundaries will also be voting for a regional district Director. Nomination period officially ends Oct. 10 and that is when we’ll know who is running for what position. If you’ve lived here for any amount of time, you probably already know the candidates – if you don’t know them, you may see them campaigning door to door, so get your questions ready for them. The Journal will also run their biographies in the Nov. 6 issue (which, by the way, is a Full Moon). Some of the candidates will also advertise in the newspaper and/or leave posters or brochures around town, and often there is at least one All Candidates Forum in town. Don’t leave it up to others to do your voting for you. Find out where your voting poll is, bring two pieces of picture ID and vote! Vote for one candidate, or two - anywhere up to the maximum number. Then go home or go out on the town and be proud about casting your ballot.

Plein Air brought out the best in Ashcroft Dear Editor It isn’t surprising that Art has put the focus on Ashcroft again this year, with the very successful Plein Air event held mid-week, Sept 16, 17th and 18th. Several Victoria-based artists braved the time and the distance to venture up to our Thompson River canyons and mesas. The village itself became the subject of a number of interesting studies. How others see and interpret our terrain and our village streets and surrounding clay slopes is always fascinating. The event ended with a show of the work produced during those days. The public was invited to view it. It is events like this that put Ashcroft on the map. The Wellness Festival is another attraction that brings in people from other parts. Tourists passing through were also attracted to stay a little longer and enjoy the spirit of the event. Social gatherings like this which reach out and proclaim what our village and our magnificent landscape have to offer the eye and the spirit, can’t be better promoters. Plein Air brought artists from more than several points of the Province, some of them for the third time. A number of volunteers made the event the success it was. The organization was exceptional in every way. Dedicated is the word that comes to mind. For the efforts made so cheerful-
LETTERS ly and responsibly to ensure the success of Plein Air. Particular thanks to Royden and Nancy Josephson for their handling of the exhibition of art. But also those from the Winding Rivers Arts and Performing Society who promoted the event, and whom participated so magnificently in its very successful execution. My gratitude and praise for the efforts made by Pauline Ogilvie in coming up with this unique idea to attract other artists to our area. It was a privilege to be part of it all.

Tournament raises money for the cure Dear Editor On Sept. 23, Semlin Valley Golf Club hosted a Golf Fore The Cure tournament from Golf Canada, which was presented by Subaru and Ina Gory from the Canadian Cancer Society. We would like to thank all of the participants who donated for the cause: Kevin Park, Harish Natha, Safety Mart, Wastech, Highland Valley Copper, Coca Cola, Walmart, Costco, Canadian Tire, and the people who came out to enjoy a day of fun and prizes. We would also like to congratulate Ina Gory for winning the safest driver contest. Ingrid LeDrew Semlin Valley Golf Club Manager

Political term has been rewarding Dear Editor As my first term comes to an end I wanted to thank all those who have made the journey very rewarding and those who helped me navigate a very intense learning curve. The constituents: you engaged time and again and I believe most often I was able to help - keep engaging! The TNRD staff: my question were answered within hours most often. My fellow Directors: answering my barrage of questions. My wife: enduring hours a finger pounding nights on the computer. Thank you! What is most significant? Hard to say. A lot got done, over 25 projects, yet there is much more to do. However, what is just as significant is my 25 years of community service prior to being elected. I traveled the highway attending tourism, economic development, highways meetings with no compensation, no gas mileage, fueled by the passion to move our communities forward. I remember Lloyd Samaha at my side, advocating for Spences Bridge. I remember the frustration of time and again dealing with our failures. Celebrating our occasional triumph. I remember writing article after article for the Ashcroft Journal. We tried. We engaged. We fought... That is what I am most proud of, and we did it simSee LETTERS on p. 13 Subscribe to The Journal 1 Year Subscription: $44.10 (GST included) Senior Rate: $37.80 (GST included) Out of area subscriptions pay a $17.85 mailing surcharge The Journal is a politically independent community newspaper.

Cranes head south, hornworms move in This month has wrought changes to the landscape in a big way as the leaves on the aspen and cottonwood turn from green to yellow, the wild grasses now are brown and droop to the ground and the pine trees are shedding many old brown needles. Soon the coloured leaves will be gone, revealing the fine network of branches and twigs of the trees skeleton. Vines and some shrubs have gone brilliant red thanks to the frost on Sept 11, followed by many days of sunshine and nice weather. That first frost day was also the first day I noted the passage of the Sandhill cranes heading back south. Those were the early travellers. Sept. 27 it must have been their big moving day as there was a constant stream of cranes passing over. It amazes me that they keep in formation the way they do, all the while making that very crane-like sound that always accompanies my fall gardening chores. One flock must have been dissatisfied with their arrangement and for several minutes I watched as they circled and changed elevation until

This past month some visits from the younger generation in the family brought me to ponder about the things
that today’s youngsters do well and about those things they don’t know. In the evening here we tend to play group games and cards. One of the popular ones is picture bingo, something that even very young children can join in. It was remarkable that when the young ones took turns calling out the pictures there were objects they could not identify because they no longer see or use them- items that were in every house in my childhood and still can be found around my home. For example they couldn’t identify a clothes peg – one called it a giant paper clip, which brought us oldies to laugh well and long. They did not know what a clothes iron is - an electric one, that is. I have yet to pull out the old sadiron and see if they can figure out what it would have been used for. The image of a windmill, the kind that works to grind grain for example, was a puzzle for them; finally it was called “a funny kind of air conditioner”. In the kitchen helping make preserves and pickles, they do not know about ounces as a unit of weight but quickly dealt with chopping and weighing out 1500 grams of plums for jam. At the end of July there were several notices in this paper announcing the closing of the Clinton TV Society and informing residents of Loon Lake, Clinton and area that there was a free alternative option called Local Television Satellite Solution available through Shaw. The notice gave contact information and stated that the programme would end on Nov. 30, 2014. A number of residents contacted Shaw and gave their details and were told that a satellite dish would be in the mail in a couple of weeks. Further, they were told that when it arrived they should call again and arranged for installation. This was at the end of July. Nothing happened all August, no satellite, no paper confirmation. At the end of August residents began calling Shaw, as their promised satellite dishes had not arrived. They were then told by the Shaw staff that the programme had ended at the end of August and they were not eligible for the programme. It completely esSee Loon Lake on p. 14

A smorgasbord of events at picnic Approximately 120 residents registered for the Ashcroft Cache Creek Seniors Picnic, organized by the Better at Home office, on Sept. 10 at Heritage Place Park. A very cool wind greeted everyone who came to enjoy the hamburger, hotdog, veggie burger, potato salad, veggie tray, and watermelon lunch! One hundred burgers, 36 hotdogs and 36 veggie burgers later..everyone was full. Our guests were invited to mingle and visit one another sharing names and phone numbers for future visits. Also in attendance was Medi Chair from Kamloops who serviced and checked out scooters driv-

Improve indoor air quality before winter With fall soon to give way to winter, many people will soon be spending more time indoors. Winter weather can be harsh, and it can be difficult for fresh air to make its way into a home once the warmer temperatures of summer and fall give way to the cold days of winter. Poor indoor air quality can increase a person’s risk of developing pneumonia, and it also may aggravate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. The EPA also notes that longterm exposure to indoor air pollution can increase a person’s risk for heart disease, respiratory diseases and even cancer. Because indoor air pollution can be so devastating, many
homeowners look for ways to improve their indoor air quality, especially before the arrival of winter, when residents of the home figure to spend such a significant amount of time indoors. Fortunately, homeowners can take many steps to do just that. * Clean with soap and water. Soap and hot water can still clean a home effectively, and this age-old combination might be the healthiest way to clean as well. Many household cleaning products contain potentially harmful in-
gredients that can introduce toxins and irritants into a home. Avoid such cleaners and solvents when cleaning a home. If stains prove too stubborn for soap and water, be sure to open windows when using potentially harmful cleaners indoors. * Purchase an air filtration system. Air filtration systems vary significantly in size, cost and function. Some systems are designed to remove specific pollutants, and may not be effective at removing additional indoor air pollutants.
Mopping can remove pollutants the vacuum cleaner might have left behind.

* Open windows and doors when possible. Introducing outdoor air into a home is a great way to improve indoor air quality. Of course, opening windows and doors might not be feasible in the middle of winter. But take advantage of any such opportunities when they present themselves. For example, after cooking a big meal, open the kitchen exhaust fan to allow fresh air into the home. Such fans are not large enough to cause a significant temperature drop in the home, but they can directly remove contaminants from inside the home, like those that might be emitted from gas stoves. * Insist guests and residents remove their shoes. Chemicals can
find their way into a home in a variety of ways, and you and your fellow residents or guests may be tracking them into your home on your shoes. Keep a doormat inside all entryways, and insist guests and residents remove their shoes before entering your home. * Break out the mop. Vacuum cleaners can be effective at picking up pollutants inside a home, but they also can leave things behind. When a vacuum cleaner seems to be leaving some dust behind, take out the mop and, with just a little water, address the areas where dust is still lingering. Water should be enough to do the trick, and, unlike some cleaning products, water won’t
be introducing any additional harmful pollutants into the home. * Smoke outside. Smoking inside a home is inviting trouble, especially during those times of year when the windows cannot be opened. Secondhand smoke is a significant source of indoor air pollution, as cigarette smoke is known to contain more than 4,000 chemicals. Smoking indoors, whether an area is well- or poorly-ventilated, can be dangerous to smokers. Exposure to secondhand smoke puts adults and children alike at risk of several diseases, including asthma and cancer. If you or your fellow residents or visitors must smoke, do so outdoors.

Sacred mandala workshop offered A Sacred Mandala workshop is coming to Ashcroft on Oct. 18, offered by Spences Bridge resident Kathleen Kinasewich. Are you wondering what is a Mandala? It’s simple, yet complicated. The word “mandala” is drawn from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. It means “circle” when loosely translated, but a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness; the connectedness of all things, and is a model for the organizational structure of life itself - a universal model that reminds us of our relation to the infinite; a world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds. The circular form is clearly evident in all of nature. From the shape of the planet, to the cyclical patterns of seasons and time itself, the circle is a universal symbol of beginning and end. The mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call earth, sun, and moon, and all planets as well as conceptual circles of friends, family, and community; and throughout patterns in nature and the universe. The crystals that form ice, rocks, and mountains are made of atoms. Each atom is a mandala. While Eastern religions have long used the mandala as a spiritual tool, Westerners and Indigenous First Nations groups have also found value in the restorative power found in the circular form. Through the expressive creative process, one develops a wholeness that is alive and restoring. By creating your very own mandala, you are opening up a healing process from within, and this is one of the greatest achievements in life to discover and nourish the deep spring of inner wisdom that flows within us. Spending time with mandala art encourages our inner genius to awakening and healing. The upcoming workshop with Soul Circle Mandalas will be a full day of creating “Sacred Mandalas”, using “Sacred Signs & Symbols” that resonate with an individual. With guided meditation, the sacredness of the circle and your intention, we will create mandalas that reflect your inner light, connect you to your higher self, and assist you in opening up to your divine consciousness. On Saturday, Oct. 18 at St. Albans Hall from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. we will gather in the sacredness of a community circle to make our very own Sacred Mandala. You do not need to have any artistic experience to create a mandala. All you need is an intention for your own inner healing and healing for our world. All art material and lunch are provided for you. Seating is limited to 12 people for intimacy of circle, so book your space now to assure your seat in the sacred circle. Contact Kathleen at “Soul Circle Mandalas” by calling 250-458-2489 or email her at kakinasewich@gmail.com . You will be provided details of workshop, price and suggestions of what you need to bring with you for this magical day of healing. It has been Kathleen’s dream for some time to share her work with her community. She wishes to bring the knowledge and healing of mandalas to enough people in the area that they will be inspired to form a committee in Ashcroft to work on large size street Mandalas for the 2015 Wellness Festival next July. Although this is a dream, it is not a requirement for your attendance in any of our workshops. Submitted

The annual Pavilion Triathlon took place at Pavilion Lake on Sept. 14. The course has remained the same since the Triathlon began, with a 750m swim in the lake, a 20km bike ride, then a 5km run. With 56 people registered this year, it was our biggest event yet to date. The weather was beautiful and the water was 17C. Something I was really happy about this year was the amount of whole families competing. The Lauplands from Kamloops were a good example with mom, dad, son and daughter all competing. And they were competitive! Elise Laupland, 13, came out of the water first after only 11 minutes. Some other locals have their triathlon-addicted

Helmut and Una immigrated to Canada from England in 1952 to start a new life in a young country. On arriving in Revelstoke, B.C. Helmut quickly learned that lederhosen and sandals were not the right outfit to wear when loading logging trucks. Helmut went on to work as a prospector, and then camera repairman, before getting a job as bookkeeper for Dawson Wade Ltd., a company that was building the new Trans Canada through the Fraser Canyon. In 1958 the young immigrant couple moved to Clearwater where Helmut worked as a bookkeeper for the local sawmill. By 1965 Helmut and Una decided to move to Vancouver Island. Helmut soon got a job as the assistant treasurer for the Courtenay School District. Then in 1968 it was on to Ashcroft where Helmut became the school district Maintenance Services Manager. In 1978 no longer immigrants Helmut, who was now a bona fide Canadian, moved with his wife, Una, to Powell River where Helmut again took on the School District Maintenance Services Manager’s job. They were now the proud parents of 5 children. After retiring the couple moved one last time to Nanaimo to be closer to their children. This is where Helmut spent his last days. Helmut loved the natural beauty of Canada and took great pleasure in hiking trails and exploring the back roads of British Columbia. He could name the mountains and enjoyed canoing on the rivers. His favorite hobby was gardening, creating beautifully landscaped rock gardens from nothing. With Helmut the garden came first and then the house. He was a leader with ideas: In Clearwater he arranged huge firework displays; while in Powell River he began the B.O.M.B. Squad (Bloody Old Men’s Brigade) which was responsible for clearing trails and building hiking bridges that are still used today. He was a dreamer, a creator, a father, and a husband whose laugh, ideas, and love will be missed by his family.

This to that
I have had one garage sale in my life. What I discovered from that experience seven years ago is that I really don’t like holding garage sales at all, but I sure like going to them. One of my friends calls them garbage sales. “Why would I want to look at someone else’s crap?” he asked. “I’ve got enough of my own.” I do too. I’m in a perpetual purge situation at home donating things my family doesn’t use anymore to different charities. But there’s something very intriguing about a bunch of items displayed on someone else’s driveway, carport or lawn. Maybe they’ll have
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com something useful or cool that I’ll bring into my home, possibly refurbish and then cherish for years. Or maybe they’ll have nothing that really interests me. I never know until I take a look. This summer I went garage sale-ing twice and came home with some nifty things I didn’t exactly need, but I was glad I found. A rainbow striped hammock for $3 was one of
my best buys from last weekend’s excursion. Another was a patio set that I purchased from a nice German lady for $20. It was very weathered and in desperate need of some paint and fabric for the cushions, but I imagined how sweet it could look after a makeover. Reusing and repurposing old stuff into something new and useful is often referred
to as upcycling - and it can be addictive. Over the years I’ve been a bit of a junkie transforming many home furnishings and I’ve always enjoyed the process. I’ve never taken my hobby to the level some of my friends have though. A couple of them have just submitted fabulous pieces to the “This to That” redesign contest for Habitat for Humanity Kelowna. Along with eight other designers, they explored the large, eclectic ReStore in West Kelowna which is full of donated building supplies, appliances, furniture, and home décor, and picked out items to upcycle into a new creation that the non-profit organiza-

tion will auction off. Before and after pictures are displayed online, but viewing the submissions in person is much more impressive. It’s inspiring to see the incredibly unique ways a worn out piece of furniture can be transformed. My friend, Barb Newman who’s also my paint dealer, converted an old outdated TV unit into an adorable play kitchen for kids. My other friend, Deb Ward took a dull, run-down dresser and painted a delightful design that I instantly recognized was hers as soon as I saw it. The other re-worked pieces are wonderful as well and they’re a great example of how an old piece can be new again with some imagination and elbow grease. Not everyone will necessarily appreciate the end result though. “What’s up with this chair?” my 14 year old son asked me after I’d
painted my garage sale find a beautiful eulalie’s sky blue with milk paint and then distressed it with sand paper. “I’m making it look vintage,” I said, applying a second coat of hemp oil to seal my work. “It looks really old, Mom,” he said with a confused look on his face. “Like it needs to be painted.” Oh well. As the old saying goes - one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. To cast your vote or bid on your favourite

The Habitat is an international organization that builds affordable housing and encourages the recycling of usable items to keep them out of our landfills.

ARIES - An issue at work requires your immediate attention, Aries. This situation must be approached delicately, but don’t be afraid to speak your mind and accept the results. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a busy week awaits but just take things one project at a time. Keep to yourself for a little bit in an attempt to stay focused on the numerous tasks at hand. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your positive attitude is why people have grown to rely on you in tight spots. Plant a smile on your face and others will benefit from your positive influence. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it’s hard to know when to be assertive at work. You want to appear competent and in control, but you also want to build a good rapport with coworkers. Experiment a little. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, give plans time to develop, but don’t feel the need to hide your enthusiasm about the prospects. Trust your instincts as to when is a good time to get moving. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you cannot control the behavior of others, but you can change your own direction to counteract some unexpected developments. Keep an open mind. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don’t be surprised if your schedule gets turned upside down this week, Libra. It’s important to roll with the punches so others can see how flexible you can be. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an unconventional approach is your key to success this week. While others are following Plan A, go with Plan B and you may meet with great results. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Fantasy can overtake reality if you let it, Sagittarius. You may need to rein in your hopes and dreams for a bit and focus on some more practical matters. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Friends may distract you from work this week, Capricorn. Although it’s not wise to let responsibilities slide completely, you can probably get away with a day of slacking off. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, the physical rewards for all your hard work will become apparent soon. You’ll find that all of your efforts thus far have been well worth the sacrifices. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, although you may dream of escaping the daily grind, you may need to persevere for just a little while longer. Your respite is coming.

Cache Creek agrees to highway sign review Notes from Cache Creek Council on Sept. 29. Roll Call: Mayor John Ranta and councillors Lisa Dafoe, Herb Hofer and Wyatt McMurray.
Highway sign review
Carmen Ranta, chair of the Cache Creek Beautification Society, attended to inform Council that the Society had been in touch with the Ministry of Transportation, asking for a review of the highway signs through town. She said the Communities in Bloom judges regularly commented on the “sign litter” in the downtown core. “We’re doing this partly to improve our marks with Communities in Bloom,” she said, “and also as citizens who care about our town.” Ranta said there seemed to be a lot of highway signs in the downtown core, and it had been a topic of more than one discussion with the Beautification committee. She said many of the signs were old and in poor condition and also reduntant. Council agreed to be part of the review, which did would be a tour of all parties involved to look at the signs.

level. The collision occurred at a high speed and a nosedown attitude. The manoeuvres the pilot was conducting were not known, but a nose-drop during some training manoeuvres could lead to a spiral dive if not corrected in time. It is possible that the pilot had begun recovery from a spiral dive and achieved a wingslevel attitude, but did not have enough altitude to fully recover. During impact, the aircraft’s cabin was severely compromised, making this accident unsurvivable. Investigators also found that the aircraft was not carrying an emergency locator transmitter (ELT). An ELT was not required since the flight was not intended to travel beyond 25 nautical miles from Kamloops, but its removal should have been documented and placarded. The lack of an ELT resulted in a delay in locating the aircraft. Submitted
