Ashcroft loses another MD Ashcroft will be back to one doctor by the beginning of May: Dr. Tarang Peedikayil has submitted his resignation, effective Apr. 30. David Durksen, spokesperson for The Wellness and Health Action Coalition (WHAC), said his group has been negotiating with another doctor to relocate to Ashcroft. He said they’re hoping to have that concluded before Dr. Peedikayil’s resignation takes effect. Durksen said Peedikayil’s resignation was unexpected, but one of the main reasons was burnout. Peedikayil and his partner, Dr. Sarina Govindasamy, arrived in Ashcroft in January 2013. The town’s third doctor, Dr. Anoinette Kitshoff, announced that she was leaving less than two months later. The two doctors have been managing their own family practices as well as keeping the Emergency Room open with the help of locums. But locums are not always available. Durksen said there is no change in ER hours expected at this time, as long as they can continue with locum coverage. “This looks bad,” Durksen said,

“but there’s an energy with Interior Health this time, and we’re moving forward.” WHAC has been meeting with IH this year, trying to forge a positive working relationship to answer the local challenges to healthcare. He said they need to focus on stabilizing the clinic practice in Ashcroft, and to do that, they need to address the underlying causes of high turnover, like burnout. “We can’t keep putting bandaids on the problem.” Doctors like this area, said Durksen, and the lifestyle it provides. But to properly run the services that IH wants here, we need five doctors. “In 18 months to two years, I believe we’ll be at four,” he says. For now, “I’m quietly optimistic that we will maintain two doctors.” Durksen said administration is a big problem for all doctors. At one time the Ministry of Health took care of the paperwork, but 30 years ago they downloaded it to doctors, with no compensation. “That’s been an elephant in the room,” he said. “I’ve been asking IH how we can handle that, but we haven’t received any answers. Now we’re being pushy on it.”
Bad roads cause accidents The area’s return to winter driving conditions this week is being blamed for two single vehicle accidents on Feb. 2 as weeks of mild weather gave way to dipping temperatures and more snow. At 1:30 pm on Monday, a Brinks armoured truck on Hwy 99 near Hwy 97 lost control and hit a rock wall. It left the highway, coming to rest on its side. The two occupants who were Brinks employees were checked out by ambulance attendants on the scene and given an “all clear”. The driver was a 62 year old Kelowna man. The truck had moderate damage

but was not driveable and had to be towed. At 2:45 pm a 53 year old Spences Bridge woman lost control of her car in the slush on Cornwall Rd. near the Ashcroft bridge and went off road right. The car impacted the side of the hill, causing severe damage to the front driver’s side of the vehicle. Both the driver and her 82 year old father were taken to the hospital by a passing motorist, where she was treated for a minor gash. The man was uninjured. Both gave credit to their seat belts for saving them from worse injury.

OUR HEALTH MATTERS Wellness and Health Action Coalition
Alice Durksen
WHAC working to improve healthcare Concerned about healthcare? A local group is doing something about it. The Wellness and Health Action Coalition (WHAC) is a group comprised of local residents working toward an effective healthcare model for people living in the Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Clinton, Spences Bridge and Walhachin area. In partnership with several agencies, WHAC organized a community consultation process held last September that resulted in a report prepared by UBCO School of Nursing Associate Dr. Barbara Pesut. Through this consultation process, common areas of concern were identified by participants and have formed the basis for the Wellness and Health Action Coalition’s priorities going forward. To start, WHAC is focussing on recruitment and retention of health care professionals, communication with key stakeholders, First Nations input on areas where additional support is required and transportation to meet health care needs. WHAC has had an ongoing schedule of meetings since receiving the consultation report last Fall. On Jan. 8, the core members met with Interior Health (IH) officials to discuss physician recruitment and retention, support for the work and challenges of local physicians, asset utilization, staffing and use of the ER, and potential increased involvement of BC Ambulance staff. Our meeting confirmed that recruiting and retaining health care professionals is key to creating a new and more effective way of delivering health care to our catchment area. WHAC members were encouraged to take the lead in local health care development and to become involved in recruitment activities. The IH advertising to attract physicians to Ashcroft has since been updated. Transportation is a key priority for many. Some people are being serviced well by local transit and the Heath Connections bus, but many others are having difficulty with transportation to meet their health care needs. Sometimes those sent to Royal Inland Hospital in the ambulance find themselves without proper clothing and/or a ride to get home. To address this, the Hospital Auxiliary has partnered with the Royal Inland Auxiliary to help solve clothing needs. WHAC has been in contact with ICBC and the Ministry of Transportation to assure insurance coverage for volunteers providing transportation. We are grateful to MLA Jackie Tegart for bringing the Princeton “Support Our Health Care” group to Ashcroft to share their experience, and we appreciate their continued interest. We appreciate the support of IH, especially for our mentors Berni Easson, Lannea Parfitt, Dr. Curtis Bell and Ann James as well as our Drs. Peedikayil and Govindasamy for their insight, help and encouragement. Thanks also to our area residents for taking part as they can and holding to the idea that more effective rural health care can be accomplished. You can help.

Busy little bees the theme of Fall Fair
To celebrate Family Literacy Day, Ashcroft Elementary School invited parents/guardians to spend the afternoon of Jan. 27 with them. The gym was set up so parents, students and staff could enjoy time with books, blankets and board games. L-R: Rocket Billy, Yale Rothschild, Madeleine Dumont and Bailey Klages play board games.
Plans are progressing for this year’s annual Ashcroft and District Fall Fair. “BEE Inspired” has been chosen as our theme to showcase Field Crops. Without bees, we would not have much of our vegetable and fruit supply. Neither would we enjoy all the flowers that surround us. These blossom abundantly when pollinated by such tiny creatures. Besides being pollinators, bees also provide us with an already digested form of sweetness, honey. So, pull out your honey recipes and consider which ones you can make for your baking or canning entries in the Fair. You may possess other talents. Think about “honeycomb” - or hexie - quilting patterns. Think about photographing bees, and sketching or painting bees. Perhaps you are a beekeeper who would be willing to lend us some of your equipment, create a display, or bring samples of supers, frames, excluders, wax or other interesting items you might use, so that we could be better educated on the value of bees. Mark the Fall Fair on your calendar – Sept. 13, and think about how you will be involved. Check our website www.ashcroftfallfair.ca for categories, or check us out on Facebook. Above all, challenge yourself and “BEE Inspired!” Jessica Clement
Making and being with friends is at the heart of Centre’s activities January was a good month for us, in that all our afternoon activities got off to a good start. Bridge had its afficionados all out, with minds firmly fixed on the cards. Tuesday Carpet Bowling numbers are down a bit, but card games are proceeding nicely. The Monthly Meeting could do with a few more attendees, but business gets done quite nicely. Friday Carpet Bowling has just about doubled its numbers, which is a very encouraging sign, and cards afterwards is doing fine, too. Saturday Bingo is holding steady, with around 20 people coming to try their luck. Visitors are welcome to come and have one free visit prior to joining, to find out what we do, so drop by on one of these days and have a cup of tea or coffee with us. Dates for your calendar: Feb. 13 Carpet Bowling tournament at Little Fort, Centre closed; Feb. 19 - Potluck Lunch at noon, monthly Business Meeting 1 pm; April 25 - 1pm Strawberry Tea; May 4 - preparation for Bowling Tournament; May 5 - Carpet Bowling Tournament in Cache Creek Hall. In my last report, I told you about my 96 year old friend who had started writing poetry. Today I would like to tell you a little about the history of one of our four, 90plus year old members, Joyce Freeman. She is the Sunshine Lady of the Seniors Group, sending out cards on events like birthdays or simply to keep in touch or to wish us well, and you may know her from that or from the various organizations she belongs to. She is the lady who organizes Meals to Wheels for seniors who don’t get out much and is generally an all round “Good Guy”. Here, in her own words, is the story of her journey to Ashcroft. I was born at home in Hedley, B.C. on Feb. 7, 1921, and the doctor had to come from Princeton to deliver me (as was the custom at that time). My Mother did not think a mining

The Milner Postmaster told me, “It is a very small place 35 miles out of Clinton”, so then, of course I had to find Clinton on the map!! My folks were not terribly happy with the idea, but I decided to try it, anyway. I went by bus to Clinton, then took a taxi the rest of the way. I boarded with the Coldwells, which worked out very well. Little did I think that would be where I would spend the next 52 years of my life!

Spring is just around the corner It’s been an unusual winter this year. Let’s not forget the -20 temperatures in November and the usual gale-like winds between Christmas and New Years. Or the eight-inch dump of snow in early January... Guess it hasn’t been all that unusual after all. It’s just that the mild temperatures and the fog leave a lasting impression that can’t be dispelled by facts. My Grandma Craig, used to write down the daily temperatures and conditions on her calendar. My teenage brain just added it to one more crazy thing that old ladies do. Now my somewhat-past-middle-age brain understands that if you don’t write it down, the imagination creates all sorts of realistic memories of the way things weren’t. Now that I’m a crazy old lady myself, I keep track of the weather - frost dates, planting dates and other notable weather events. How else would I remember that starting on April 15, I can leave my seedlings in the greenhouse overnight? Or that last year I pulled the tomato plants out of the front yard on Oct. 31 so the Trick or Treaters wouldn’t trip over them, but the frost didn’t arrive until Nov. 22. Last December’s bird count indicated that many of the birds we expected to see had already been and gone, leaving us wondering if the early arrivals and departures would translate ino an early Spring. On Monday, Groundhog Day, I dragged Rusty the Groundhug out of his warm, comfy kitty bed and shoved him towards the front door. With much blinking and hesitation, he finally poked his nose out of his den (also known as our house) and a moment later, put a tentative paw down on the welcome mat. Then, much to my surprise, Rusty not only left his den, but rolled back and forth several times on the cold, wet cement porch. That was good enough for me! Forget the fact that who could see 10 feet in front of themselves in the fog we had on Monday, Rusty the Groundhug not only didn’t see his shadow, but he danced the happy horizontal cha cha of imminent spring! Go Rusty! Yes folks, the pre-Spring is here. In a few short weeks, we’ll be swatting at flying insects and dodging lake-sized puddles while we sweat inside our coats as the temperature fluctuates between freezing and baking in the space of a few hours. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. Time to ditch the snow tires and start making garden plans,

That is exactly what the government is doing. B.C. is the only province to share direct provincial mineral tax revenue generated from new mines or expansions. First Nations are also negotiating carbon offsets directly with LNG companies and creating a whole new revenue stream to benefit their own communities. Closer to home the High Bar Band just reached a cooperation and benefits agreement with mineral exploration company HDI Constantia regarding the development of the Maggie CopperMolybdenum mine located between Cache Creek and Clinton. We’re working to create a broader dialogue and work collaboratively with First Nations while still meeting industry’s needs. The more certain we are moving forward, the greater opportunity we all will have to benefit from a resource rich British Columbia.

A little romance before it’s back to the blues Wayne Dyer’s ‘The Shift‘ showing in Ashcroft
UniTea is hosting the first of many Video/Discussion Nights featuring a range of Spiritual/Environmental documentary style videos for enjoyment and conversation. A portion of these evenings is dedicated to discussion and reflection on the video. This is a free event. The first evening will feature the Wayne Dyer-produced “The Shift” on Thursday, Feb. 5 at 7pm. In his film, Dr. 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 - which promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulation - are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused 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. The Shift doesn’t mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than a life based on never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego’s agenda. We can do this Ashcroft! Are you a change agent? Come join the conversation!

Harmonica Player of the Year in Logan Lake
Harpdog Brown & his Traveling Blues Show will be in Logan Lake on Wednesday, March 18, downstairs in the Black Bull Pub. Doors open 7 pm, Showtime 7:30 pm. Must be at least 19 with advance tickets available at the Bull and the Pick or phone 250 523-2399 and purchase by credit card. Also available at the door for cash only. This is a fundraiser for the Logan Lake Ranch & Country Club. Brown is working here with his road band – Hunter on drums (the two go all the way back to 1983), bassist George Fenn, and relative youngster Jordan Edmonds on guitar. They take a basic, no-frills approach to tunes, the rhythms rock solid, punctuated by Edmonds’ churning, spiky guitar. Covers include Little Walter’s “Blue Lights” and Sonny Boy Williamson’s “In My Younger Days,” both allowing Brown to stretch out with some exquisite work on both amplified and acoustic harmonica. There’s also one from the Wolf (“All Night Boogie”) and a furiously swing-

Pharis & Jason reside in Horsefly, where Jason also makes his own guitars and banjos. Expect some beautiful, striking duets with acoustic and National guitar and banjo on originals and well-loved songs from others. Close your eyes and you’ll think you’re sitting on the front porch of some Appalachian cabin, kicking back with a banjo and guitar and some sweet tea. Rooted in the old-time mountain music of Virginia and Tennessee, their approach is an unpretentious single microphone between the two - for that Grand Ol Opry sound.

She shoots, she scores
Photographs of Miss Canada in an outrageous hockey-inspired dress went viral last week. It was awesome. When it comes to beauty pageants I’m so ignorant of the topic that not only did I not know there was a category for best national costume in the Miss Universe Pageant - for which her dress was designed - but I wasn’t even aware my country still competed in the competition. “I thought we stopped all that silliness back in the ‘80s,” my equally clueless friend said in response to the polarizing pictures. Almost. According to Wikipedia, Miss Canada was founded in 1946 and closed up shop for 16 years between 1993 and 2008.
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com It was re-established in 2009, apparently with more of a focus on personality than beauty. Observing Chanel Beckenlehner from Ontario in this funny costume, I would say she scored high on both counts. With ten hockey sticks fanned out like wings, netting over her Marie-Antoinette-ish wig, a Stanley Cup hat on her head and
a working scoreboard behind her indicating a 20-14 lead for the home team, I didn’t think it could get much better than that. But then I noticed the rest of the costume that included shoulder and elbow pads, thighhigh boots resembling skates and a billowy ice rink for a skirt. Like her, it was stunning. But, as we all know, beauty is in the eye
of the beholder and reviews have been mixed. Along with the many favourable opinions online, there was even more indicating an immense dislike. Some comments had me laughing out loud and the ones that said, “She’s an embarrassment to Canada,” had me rolling my eyes. I’ve read those exact same five words written about me several times over the years. At least Chanel was fully clothed – who knows what I might have worn in her position. (Clearly my cartoonist Jim Hunt has an idea.) What is so embarrassing about a confident woman with a sense of ha-ha anyway? She didn’t attack, molest, steal or oth-
February • Week 2 ARIES - Aries, tackle a problem that’s been puzzling you headon this week. A direct approach may just provide you the unique perspective you need to crack this nut. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, state your case carefully when you attempt to get your point across at work. Others will appreciate your thoughtful approach and respond positively. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are up to your ears in work and you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel just yet. Rest assured that it’s there, but it could take a few more days in the trenches.
erwise harm anyone, so I’m not bothered by her in the least. Quite the opposite - I’m proud of her. She gained worldwide attention for Canada in a light-hearted way and she almost had me tuning in to watch the Miss Universe Pageant for the first time since I was a child. “How could this possibly interest you?” one of my friends groaned when she saw the pictures. “It’s so ugly. And why hockey? That’s such a Canadian stereotype. Might as well dress up like a giant beaver or an Eskimo in an igloo.” Hmm. Maybe next year. After choosing from 30 different concepts, our current Miss Canada decided on hockey as her theme - a sport our country is universally known for. The fact that the outfit was so over-the-top and
had her standing out prominently amongst a group of 88 other gorgeous women, many of whom were also wearing elaborate costumes, is a testament not just to Chanel’s humour, but her intelligence. “She’s not smart or funny,” my friend disagreed. “She’s a bimbo and if she hadn’t been born beautiful we wouldn’t be talking about her right now.”
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Various responsibilities require your full attention this week, Cancer. Don’t be afraid to accept some help so you can get everything done on time. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you are invested in reaching a goal, and those around you are inspired by your gusto. Make the most of your energy and help others harness theirs if given the chance. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you work best when you have a plan in place. While you are not usually appreciative of surprises, this week you are willing to be a little more flexible. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 A disagreement at work has you unsure about what side to support, Libra. Stay neutral for the time being until you can get a better grasp of the situation. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, focus on issues at work this week. Channel your energy into productivity at the office, and know that there will be time to daydream down the road. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You may feel strong winds of change blowing in your direction, Sagittarius, and you do not know what is in store for you. Sometimes it can be exciting to be surprised. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, look forward to the weeks ahead, as some good news is on the horizon. Allow others around you to share in the good times ahead. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, revisit your career goals this week. Even if your goals seem ever-changing, it can be productive to reexamine them from time to time.

While it’s true this woman obviously won the genetic jackpot the day she was born, it doesn’t mean she’s not smart and funny as well. I could write a long list of women lucky enough to have all three of these attributes. Her Canadian costume designer, Alex Kavanagh, seems to be one of them. Brand new to the pageant world, Alex was more known for her impressive work in horror movies than beauty contests before this happened. Now she can add to her resumé the distinct honour of creating an extraordinary getup that placed in the top five for one of the most memorable Miss Universe contestants in recent years. Love it or hate it, the flamboyant hockey ensemble is unique, unforgettable, playful and fun. Chanel Beckenlehner scores 99 out of 100 from me.

The habits of birds and making garden plans January began with snow falling and it just kept falling all day and overnight. It was light snow so the accumulation was only about 30 cm, more in places where it drifted. Through the snow storm, the deer wandered around my yard looking for something, anything to chew on. They were wearing snow blankets which covered their backs and ears, at times resembling fallen tree trunks more than deer. They sure are well camouflaged until they move, then in the snow storm they looked quite ghostly moving through the tree trunks. As they came closer to the house I watched them and noted that one of them had a black tail which is unlike the black tip on the tail of mule deer. I have now learned that we also have black tail deer here at Loon Lake Road.
antics of birds in the yard and in the forest. This year five Steller’s Jays have been regular visitors along with the cute Grey Jays, a couple Clark’s nutcrackers, woodpeckers and flickers, all bigger birds. The Steller’s Jays are real clowns and try to interact with me whenever I go outside; sure it is all about getting me to give them some more fruit and nuts and it works. They can make the most intriguing and surprising noises and can even imitate one call of the bald eagle. Often a grouse does a slow walk across the snow, tempting one of the cats to think he can sneak up on it – never works though. That slow grouse walk, there should be a special name for that. One day a whole chorus of nuthatches started singing and the yard echoed with their song. Chickadees and Juncos round out the list of regular feathered visitors. One hawk, most likely a sharp shinned hawk, also comes by on occasions; undoubtedly more often than I see it. I can hear the night hooting of a great horned owl in the evening but never see it on the wing. The Great Backyard Bird Count will be held on Feb. 13-16 this year and I will again record bird species and numbers for the count. Last year there were 144,000 records submitted, making it the world’s largest simultaneous recording of bird populations. Unfortunately, as the number of recordings increases, the results are showing that the population of many of the birds is decreasing. Gone are the flock of migrating birds that used to pass through the Loon Creek valley in the spring and I am convinced that this loss of birds is responsible to the major increase in insect pest that plague us in the summer. Through activities such as long term observations and yearly recordings of local weather conditions and populations of birds I feel I am part of a continuity and attached to the land and nature, which is a far more important for me than any sensation of “getting away” to an exotic location as a tourist where all natural cycles are unfamiliar. Tourists can use, enjoy and then leave when something is uncomfortable or they want a change, and in my opinion, too many people live life as if they were perpetual tourists rather than getting involved in and becoming part of the communities where they live.
FROM LOON LAKE ROAD Barbara Hendricks green. Buds are swelling on the deciduous trees and the air smells fresh and clean. Newborn calves are running around in rancher’s wintering grounds. The sun is higher up over the mountain and geraniums and hyacinths are budding out in the window. Daylight savings time is just a month away and then, when it is still light at 7 pm it doesn’t feel like winter anymore.

Rawcliffe, Darrell
Darrell worked for many years on the oil fields, first as an oil rig manager, and then driving trucks from Alberta to BC. He travelled extensively over the course of his career and spent time all over Europe and Africa. He met his future wife Alice at a chance meeting in the Oasis Hotel in Cache Creek. At that time he resided in Alberta, and she lived in Langley. He was passing through for work, and she was in town visiting a friend. They had a casual drink and then parted ways, but she obviously stayed in his mind, because a year later to the day Darrell contacted her through her local friend. From then on in they were an inseparable team, and they soon relocated to Cache Creek to begin their life together. Darrell was very active in the community, having served as a councilman in Cache Creek for six years, as well as acting as president of both the local Lions Club International and the Semlin Valley Golf Club. He remained involved in the community until just this last spring when he was forced to withdraw due to mounting health issues. Darrell was a very kind person by nature, and over the years he made many dear friends in the area. He was a very articulate communicator, and was never hesitant to show his emotional side. He was a big man, with a big presence, and he will be missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers donations in Darrell’s memory may be made to the BC Lung Association, or to the charity of your choice. To leave an online condolence please visit www.tvfh.ca
