Great year for local bus As it enters its seventh year of service, it seems as though the local community bus service has finally left its growing pains behind.

“It’s been a good year,” said Ashcroft Chief Administrative Officer Michelle Allen.

The BC Transit began in January 2008 among Ashcroft, Cache Creek and Clinton.

At some point, unanounced, Interior Health’s bus became part of the partnership, and Cache Creek opted out of the service in 2013 citing rising costs. Last summer, TNRD’s Area I stepped in as a partner.

Having Area I as a partner, she says, means that service is provided to the Ashcroft Indian Band and Bonaparte Indian Band.

The first operator was a challenge, said Allen. A new operator - Yellowhead Community Services based in Clearwater - took over last April.

The service has replaced its old buses with two new buses - the local bus and Health Connections bus that travels from Lillooet to Kamloops.

And fuel prices are under $1 per litre which makes for lower

travel costs.

“Unprecedented low fuel costs, new buses and a new operator” have combined to make it a very good year for the service. Add to that, ridership and revenues for buses are up..

The Health Connections bus travels from Lillooet to Kamloops, while the local bus makes its regular run between Ashcroft and Clinton, travels to Kamloops on Mondays and makes stops in Area I but users have to call ahead.

Over 1,400 people rode the local bus in 2014, with the bulk of the ridership using it to travel between Ashcroft and Clinton for non medical purposes.

Allen says that anything left over in the 2014 budget will be put into a reserve fund to cover unexpected costs in future years.

It just all came together this year, she said.

“Everybody’s in their groove.”

The players are working hard as a team and coming together. There were a lot of smiling faces on the ice for sure! Great job everyone!

Congratulations to goal scorers Holden Kinvig, Cimarone Minnabarriet, Shawn Minnabarriet, Dallon Tomey and Henry Quiring, and to Cimarone MInnabarriet, Rylan James and Shawn Minnabarriet for their assists.

Jan. 16 police investigated a complaint about an uninsured vehicle that had been parked on Stage Rd. by the Canyon Heights Apt. building for about 10 months. The owner was contacted and said it broke down there so he left it, not realizing that he was breaking the law. The 63 year old Cache Creek man said he would take care of it.

Loud resident

Jan. 17 police were called to the Nugget motel by the manager about a long term resident who was yelling and screaming and disturbing everyone. All was quiet when police arrived and the 31 year old woman refused to answer the door of her unit. The manager was left to deal with the matter.

Car in ditch

Jan. 17 at 1:30 am police received a call from a motorist about a vehicle in the ditch north of Cache Creek. The caller also reported seeing someone stumbling around near the vehicle. Police attended and found a 1990 Honda Accord in the ditch with minor damage. There was no one nearby. The owner was contacted, but the 42 year old Marble Canyon man denied being the driver. He did not provide any information on who may have been driving.

Suspicious man

Jan. 18 around 5 pm police were called to an Ashcroft residence after two 10 year old girls feared that they were being followed. They said they were walking in downtown Ashcroft when they started seeing the same older model white car everywhere. They said it finally came to a stop and a man, between 50-60 years old with white hair and wearing a blue jacket, got out and followed them onto the bridge. They ran the rest of the way to one of their homes. Police make patrols looking for the man or the vehicle but neither were located. Anyone with information on either is asked to call the RCMP at 4532216.

Women leaders celebrated

Premier Christy Clark listens to Ashcroft Terminal vice president Kleo Landucci explain their progress while Clark was in Ashcroft in 2013.

A “Celebration of Women in Leadership” dinner in Ashcroft on Jan. 15 saw more than 30 people gather to discuss what women bring to communities in terms of leadership and knowledge.

The dinner - hosted by MLA Jackie Tegart - was attended by local women (and a handful of men) who are prominent in business, politics, education, and volunteer organizations. MLA Tegart kicked things off by highlighting the number of women in the provincial government - both as MLAs and behind the scenes - then turned the microphone over to former reporter and news anchor Pamela Martin and local businesswoman Kleo Landucci, who both spoke of the necessity of encouraging young people to step up and make a difference in their communities. Martin emphasized the importance of

support for young women as they take on leadership roles while trying to balance the competing demands of work and family.

Landucci also touched on the work/life challenges many women face, remarking that it’s tough to go from an executive meeting at work to reading My Little Pony to an expectant child. She stressed that lessons in leadership and business start at home, and said that she was fortunate to have parents who taught her to be informed and engaged from a young age. “Leadership is about tenacity, passion, being inspiring and motivating,” she said, adding that we all need to lead and teach the younger generation, so that instead of asking what can be done for them, they ask what they can do for their communities and employers.

Sonja Matthews and Maria Russell-Martin beat the bushes, figuratively speaking, as they tally up the local birds during the 2014 Christmas Bird Count on Dec. 23.

Bird Count records changing pattern

Eight hardy bird watchers counted 3,441 birds in the Ashcroft-Cache Creek area on Dec. 23 for the 2014 annual Christmas Bird Count.

“While the total number of birds counted is near average, the number of species seen is frustratingly less than 40,” out of a possible 70 said team leader Karl Ricker.

The number of species has fallen from a high of 45 in 2005, the first year of the local count, to an average of 39 10 years later.

“Nonetheless,” he said, “it was a good count for raptors, geese, flickers, blackbirds, BoAs seed catalogues start arrivhemian waxwings ing in mailboxes, local gardenand, surprisingers look wistfully at their dormant ly, Fox sparrows! – garden beds and lawns, wishing and, unfortunately, for an early start to the season.

doves, which have been here much longer. This year for the first time, one mourning dove was also spotted.

Duck numbers were down this year, possibly owing to higher than normal water levels because of the mild winter. Higher levels of water make it harder for the ducks to feed on plants on the river beds.

However, an outstanding 462 Canada geese were counted this year, thanks to two very large migrating flocks that were flying south.

Bald eagle numbers were slightly higher than normal, with the group spotting 39 adults and 24 juveniles, but there were only four hawks and two falcons spotted this year. And only one chukar, despite a valiant search for them.

“Not helping matters, this was the first year we missed on a Northern shrike, despite looking hard for one at Cache Creek,” said Ricker.

No owls were spotted this year, either.

The number of finches and sparrows was low. Magpie, raven and starling sightings were below average, while crows yielded the second highest count in 10 years: 301 were spotted this year, with 439 counted in 2008.

Bohemian waxwings were out in good numbers for the Count - 845 were spotted, but that is only the third hightest number in the Count’s 10 year history.

Participating in the 2014 Count were Karl Ricker (team leader) from Whistler, Bert Parke and Ray Town from Logan Lake, Marilyn Cram from Squamish, Sonja Matthews and Maria Russell Martin from Ashcroft, and Gary Winslow and Wendy Coomber from Cache Creek.

The Christmas “Bird Census” started in 1900. The Christmas Bird Count, as it is now called, is conducted in over 2,000 localities across Canada, the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. These bird observations have been amassed into a huge database that reflects the distribution and numbers of winter birds over time.

Take away the fun and what’s left?

This week’s news flash: Tobaggans are bad! They’ve joined the category of merrygo-rounds, teeter totters, sand boxes, swings with heavy wooden seats and all of the other things that we enjoyed as a child.

I’ve been hearing negative remarks about tobaggans for the past few weeks on the internet, but when I called up a recent story, it was about tubing, not tobaganning. I had to look up tubing to see what it was, since my only experience with “tubing” was as a water accessory.

And the story begain in 2013 at Sun Peaks when parents took their 2 year old tubing! Each, apparently, on a separate tube, but holding hands as they went down the hill.

Tubes don’t look all that stable if you’re looking for a slow, steady ride down the hill in a straight line. Well, the child fell out of her tube and the mother jumped out of hers.

The child was fine. Mom broke her leg.

Now they’re suing Sun Peaks for negligence in letting young children use the tube park.

Yes, it’s probably not for children that young, but mom and dad maybe should have thought that one through first.

Getting back to tobaggans, I remember when we used to pile on to them before going down the hill - the old city garbage dump was a popular location, as was the “ampitheatre” at the local college. Falling off halfway down was more fun because you only had to walk halfway back up the hill.

Still, there’s always room for accidents when children are off in their own worlds, having fun. One of my out-of-town cousins was out tobagganing with us one night and was almost hit as she stood at the bottom of the run by a tobaggan coming at her at full steam. She jumped out of the way and hit her head on something harder as she landed.

She cried and swore she had a concussion and that was the end of our tobagganing for the night.

I’ve heard of more serious accidents with children on snowboards and even skiis, but I haven’t heard any call - yet - for banning either snowboards or skiis. Maybe if tobagganing was an Olympic sport there wouldn’t be any talk of banning it, either.

Life is risky. That’s part of the fun.

A WINTER LANDSCAPE of sagebrush, rabbit brush and native grasses VICTORIA – Did you do a “cleanse” to start the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your body?

Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being flogged.

“Supplements, tea, homeopathy, coffee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxified body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Gavura, who treats cancer patients with medicine’s most potent drugs.

Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent conditions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “detox” to find his takedown of this notion.

He traces the roots of purification rituals in religious and medical history, such as when patients were bled with leeches.

Actual “detox” is administered in hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons.

Credible physicians abandoned theories of “autointoxication” in the 19th century.

“Today’s version of autointoxication argues that some combination of food additives, salt, meat, fluoride, pre-

In the past year I have had an Tom Fletcher argument with a registered nurse at a tfletcher@blackpress.ca blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her scription drugs, smog, vaccine ingredients, GMOs and perhaps last night’s body.

Community Spiritual Video Circle begins at UniTea

UniTea will be hosting the first of many ongoing Video/Discussion Nights featuring a range of Spiritual/Environmental Documentary style Videos for mutual enjoyment and conversation. The evening will include a portion of the night dedicated to discussion and reflection on the video presented at each evenings Video Circle.

The first night will feature the Wayne Dyer produced “The Shift” on Thursday, Feb. 5 at 7pm. This is a free event. In this video, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explores the spiritual journey from ambition to meaning. The powerful shift from the ego constructs we are taught early in life by parents and society that promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulation are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, fo-

cused on serving and giving back.

Through the intertwined stories of an overachieving businessman, a mother of two seeking her own expression in the world, and a director trying to make a name for himself, this entertaining film not only inspires, but also teaches us how to create a life of meaning and purpose.

All of the key characters in the film experience what Dr. Dyer describes as a “quantum moment”. It opens the door to transformation for them as they recognize and begin to live “the music inside” that Dr. Dyer teaches we were all born with but too often push aside while we are busy living our lives. One of the key points in the movie: what if we come to the end of our life and discover it was all wrong?

The three stories (as well as some additional, interesting character development) are expertly woven throughout the movie and accompanied by voice-over’s from Dr. Dyer. His deep, soothing voice always seems to hit the mark and works perfectly within each scene that it is added to. (Not too much, not too little.) The dramatizations are used to illustrate Dr. Dyer’s timely teaching of transformation from a life of ambition into a more meaningful life; a life that can be just as successful and full of prosperity and ambition as you desire but with greater significance through a deeper, spiritual motivation.

We can do this Ashcroft! Are you a change agent? Come and join the conversation!

a banjo and guitar and some sweet tea.

Rooted in the old-time mountain music of Virginia and Tennessee, their approach is an unpretentious and simple with one single microphone between the two - for that Grand Ol Opry sound.

Their chemistry is undeniable, and the song feels like it’s been rolling along a dusty plain out west for decades, just waiting to be picked up and sung. Anchored by Pharis’s rock-solid rhythm guitar and propelled by Jason’s inventive picking on a variety of banjos and guitars, their plaintive voices and soulful blend capture the ear and the imagination.

Pharis & Jason released their second duo record, Long Gone Out West Blues, in early 2013. It is a record with an adventurous sense of simplicity and a refreshing veteran spirit in keeping with their love of songs new and old, connecting 1927 to modern days in a most wonderful way with vibrantly close duet singing, poignant songwriting, hand-made banjos, and old acoustic guitars.

Garnering a Canadian Folk Music Award for Traditional Singer (and nominated for Traditional Album of the Year), an Independent Music Award nomination for Americana Album, and two Western Canadian Music Awards nominations, Long Gone Out West Blues was included on some high class Best of 2013 lists - including NPR Music’s Top 10 Folk & Americana releases of the year - and has been featured on NPR Music’s Favorite Sessions, Utne Magazine’s Monthly Music Sampler, and Folk Alley’s Hear It First.

Out of the mouths of dogs

As I type this week’s column I have four precious pups sleeping at my feet. Two are my 30-pound Cockapoos, Lola and Charlie, and the other two are my friend’s dogs who each weigh at least twice that. One of them is a Labradoodle named Sierra that I dog-sit often, the fourth is a Portuguese Water Dog who has been staying with us for the last two weeks while her family is on vacation.

Kahli is her name and she is, as my Papa would have called her, a furry little rascal.

To be fair, the other three fit that description as well, but this one’s mischievous in a different way than I’m accustomed to.

I can’t say I wasn’t warned though.

“Give her these,” my friend Kari had said, handing me a bag of

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com assorted items before leaving on her trip.

“She always has to have something hanging out of her mouth.”

Kari was right about that. But her pooch’s oral fixation extended well beyond the bag of dog toys and goodies she supplied me with.

In fact, Kahli grew tired of what was in that bag right away and searched high and low in her new surroundings for more interesting things to sniff, mangle and relocate to our back yard.

Out there I discovered the chewed-up comb, toothbrush, bottle caps, Tupperware lids, Christmas ornaments, markers, underpants and socks that she’d taken from the house.

Thankfully I didn’t find any empty jars of peanut butter, boxes of cereal or bags of potato chips like those I’ve found from my dogs in years past. I certainly didn’t want her getting sick or blowing her healthy diet, but controlling what she ate

wasn’t always easy.

Near the end of her stay with us she found a Barbie doll on the patio and brought it in the house. I didn’t discover her newfound plaything right away. By the time I came into the kitchen and heard the familiar clacking sound of Kahli’s teeth breaking something apart it was way too late to save it.

Out of her mouth dangled “Cheerleader Barbie” and over 30 of her chewed up body parts were strewn down the hallway like a plastic crumb trail.

Fortunately Kahli seemed far more interested in dismantling the figurine than ingesting it, but I worried she might swallow one of the small pieces so I immediately tried to get it away from her. Of course this was exactly what she was

hoping for: a highspeed chase.

Like so many times in the past two weeks I ran around the house chasing after her, calling for her to stop. And like so many times she would pause briefly to look back at me, gleefully wagging her tail before running some more and eventually escaping out the doggy door that was almost too small for her to squeeze through.

On this particular occasion I managed to get outside fast enough to see her hide her toy

- previously known as my daughter’s toy - in the snow. I went to the spot she’d dropped it, plunged my hand into the fluffy white stuff and rescued Barbie’s legs.

I then went about collecting the rest of her remains.

With the exception of one arm, which is still missing in action, I found everything including the blonde smiling head back in the house.

Kahli only had two days left with us at that point, but I wasn’t

taking any chances and got her some high quality dental chew bones. They didn’t provoke any chases from us, but they still seemed to keep her happily busy.

Once the snow melts I expect we’ll uncover some more mutilated treasures to remind us of our adventures with Kahli the klepto. Until next time, she and her antics will be missed around here.

Cheer the teams on game. There was just so much they did not yet know.

The Rams choose to keep their heads up, to keep practicing and to keep learning. They never gave up, they had faith in the process and last week, the Jr. Rams played that same Kamloops team again. This time, the Rams celebrated a 20 point victory!

There is a lot we can learn from these 13, 14 and 15 year old ladies. Next time you find yourself wanting to give up or losing faith, remember to trust the process and never give up.

Come and watch the Rams in action at Ashcroft secondary this Friday/Saturday! The Jr. Girls and Boys Rams are hosting eight out of town teams. Games are on both Friday and Saturday, Jan. 23-24. The Jr. Girls’ first game is on Friday at 12 noon and the Jr. Boys’ first game is on Friday at 1:30. Come cheer and support your teams! Go Rams Go! LIVING from p. 9
