Citizens of the Year for Ashcroft and Cache Creek The Ashcroft & District Rotary Club held it’s annual Citizens of the Year Awards and Dinner last week. This year’s honours were presented to Kitty Murray from Ashcroft for her volunteer work with the Ashcroft Health Care Auxiliary and to Bill Elliott from Cache Creek for his volunteer work in the community that included Graffiti Days and nearly four decades on the Cache Creek Fire Dept. L-R: Lois Petty, Minnie Park, Karma Kubbernus from Ashcroft’s Interior Savings Credit Union, Shirley Holowchuk, Kitty Murray, Bill Elliott, Donna and Norm Brezina and Sandra Talarico from the Royal Bank of Canada branch in Cache Creek.

Murder charge laid in death of Lillooet man A 36-year-old Lillooet man has been charged with murder after another man suffered fatal injuries last week. On Feb. 10 at 3:04 pm, the Lillooet RCMP and Stl’atl’imx Tribal Police responded to a report of a serious assault at a residence on the 300 block of Mitchell Road in Lillooet. Gary Mandseth, 61, of Lillooet was found suffering from serious, life-threatening injuries that would ultimately result in his death. A suspect was quickly iden-

. . . g n i Spr

tified and taken into custody by police. The family of Gary Mandseth has requested that their privacy be respected in light of this tragic event. Jeffery David Harris, 36, of Lillooet has since been charged with second degree murder. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Kamloops Provincial Court on Feb. 23. The BC RCMP Southeast District Major Crimes Unit, with assistance from the Lillooet RCMP, Kamloops

RCMP Forensic Identification Services and Kamloops RCMP Police Dog Services, continues to investigate and are looking for anyone who might have any information regarding this incident. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Lillooet RCMP at 250-256-4244, or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or leaving a tip online at www.kamloopscrimestoppers.ca.

It’s a risk worth taking, determined Cache Creek Council, as they voted to go ahead with plans to pave Old Cariboo Road without knowing what the price will be. It could be $100,000 or it could be $400,000. Initial talks with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) led Council to believe that they could select the contract for resurfacing Old Cariboo Road this summer - part of a larger paving project undertaken by the Ministry of Transportation and Intractructure (MOTI). However, they were told at the Feb. 10 Council meeting that the work cannot be separated from MOTI’s larger contract, and that the Ministry would do the selecting if the Village still wanted to proceed with the road resurfacing. “That puts us in a bit or a bind,” said Village administrator Dan Plamondon. “There’s no guarantee that it will come in at $100,000 or less.” Coun. Wyatt McMurray asked if the Village could give MOTI a maximum figure that Cache Creek would be willing to accept, but Plamondon said the Ministry is obligated to go with the lowest bidder, regardless of the price. Or they can cancel the project if the bids come in too high. “I think it’s a calculated risk worth taking,” said Plamondon. “Chances are it will not exceed the pre-bid estimate” (of $100,000). Coun. David Dubois asked about doing the project without MOTI. Plamondon said the Ministry indicated that they could do the job for about half the price. McMurray added that they would have to hire consultants and engineers on top of the paving crew if they were to tender the job separate from the Ministry’s work. “If MOTI puts this out and it comes in four times higher, they’ll be saying no,” said McMurray. Plamondon agreed, saying the price would be based on quantity of the resurfacing material, and the cost for the Village and the Ministry should be the same. “We’ll trust our staff to keep us out of trouble,” said Mayor Ranta. “I don’t think we can afford not to do it,” said Coun. Herb Hofer, a sentiment that echoed an earlier comment from Coun. McMurray. Coun. Dubois voted against it. The Ministry asked the Village to decide quickly so that it could post the bid this week.

Strawberry Tea time will be here soon

By the time you read this, we will have celebrated Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day - quite a contrast! - and we will be more than halfway through what I think of as “February fill-the-dykes” as it was referred to when I was growing up. In our area around Ashcroft at least, it has not lived up to its reputation this year. At the beginning of the month there was lots of snow around and we fully expected it to melt and leave us with a miniature lake at the bottom of our driveway, but not this year! The snow gently and quietly vanished and left the drive and the lawns all clear, no puddles or muddy spots to be seen or stepped in! Dates to remember in February and later: Thursday, Feb. 19. - Pot luck Lunch at noon, Business meeting at 1pm. All members please try to attend and give your input. Saturday, Apr. 25 - Strawberry Tea 1-3pm; Thursday, Apr. 30. - Day long Bus Trip to Anglemont, please sign up ASAP; Sunday, May 4 - Preparation for Carpet Bowling Tournament in Cache Creek; and Monday, May 5 - Centre closed, Bowling Tournament in Cache Creek. Dorothy Colebank We have at least four members in their 90s in our group, and today I want to let you know some more about the oldest - by a single day! - Dorothy Colebank. She was born in Vernon, one of four children in the family, and she lived there attending a three-room elementary school in Coldstream and Vernon High School. In her teens she was swept off her feet by a young man who had gone there to work in the orchards. They ran off together in 1940, and Dorothy had her first train ride to Prince George. The following years saw them living in a variety of locations in and around Prince George and Hixon, and raising a family of seven boys and five girls. When her husband retired, she found work at a tree nursery, and while she worked there, her husband looked after the youngest children who were still at school. Dorothy moved to Ashcroft once her family had grown up and moved out and her husband passed away, first to live with her daughter and later to take up residence in Thompson View Manor. You will always find her smiling and friendly, it might never cross your mind that she is 96 she is so alert! Like Joyce Freeman, she is always well dressed in pretty colours and accessories, and regularly has hair appointments to keep her coiffure up to scratch. She has so many wonderful reminiscences and loves to be with people, playing cards and Bingo.

Eagle Motorplex back in the game The Nl’akapxm Eagle Motorplex is brushing itself off after a year of inactivity and getting ready for a new racing season. “We are going ahead with a schedule for next year and have every intention of keeping the track going,” said a statement from new track manager, Sue McKay. “We will be making a few changes to improve the car count as the track cannot continue with only 30 cars per race weekend.” The track has bracket races scheduled once a month from May to August, plus the Langley Loafer’s Old Time Drags in June that coincides with Cache Creek’s Graffiti Days. The Old Time Drags were the only race to be held at the track last year. Last week the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) welcomed the Motorplex back to the fold. They promise that the track will host a slate of NHRA Summit Racing Series and Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League events during the year, including seven double-header weekends that run from May through September. “The track has had some great history with NHRA in the past,” said McKay. “We have a new start this year and we are really looking forward to adding to that history going forward.” As an NHRA-sanctioned track, the facility will be eligible to offer racers a variety of NHRA racing opportunities, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series, the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Jr. Street and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. “Having another place to race in Western Canada is good news for drag racing in the Northwest,” said Matt Levonas, NHRA Pacific Division director. “We’re thrilled to have the track back in the NHRA family.” Built in 1987, the multi-use motorsports facility will once again become a member of the Northwest Division. The facility features a quarter-mile dragstrip, a 2.1-km motocross track and a new ESSO full service travel station at the main entrance to the facility. The motocross track is currently closed for repairs. Track officials also have plans to construct a new tower for the dragstrip this season. Work has already begun to empty it prior to demolition and reconstruction.

Nothing like a good book 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): James Cook, Connor William and Leith McLean read the same book together.

MLA Tegart elected to chair the Caucus Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Fraser has been elected to the position of Liberal Caucus Chair. She takes over from MLA Michelle Stilwell who was given a Cabinet posting a few days earlier. “I believe that the job MLA Jackie Tegart of the caucus chair is to bring people together and to build team,” said Tegart, “to make sure that the voice of caucus is heard and to make sure that our agenda moves forward.” Tegart was elected by secret ballot by the caucus on Feb. 12 to the position which is a oneyear term. MLA Gordon Hogg held the position for two years before Stilwell. During his tenure, he launched an investigaton into the ethnic voting plan scandal in 2013.

Family Day is any day you want it Once upon a time, a few people “boo-hooed” because there wasn’t a statutory holiday in February. Now that we have one - Family Day people are still crying because it doesn’t coincide with the Family Day holidays in other provinces. I suspect they are upset because they want to celebrate the new stat holiday by travelling out of province to shop for holiday sales. The Surrey Board of Trade says “because B.C’s Family Day comes on a day when the rest of North America is at work, a lot of people had to spend last Monday in the office in order to keep pace with their colleagues in other regions.” Have to admit, I was also upset about the placement of the holiday, but only because it fell on the Monday following our Seedy Saturday in Cache Creek, thereby prompting several cancellations by people who decided to spend the long weekend out of town. I’ve been involved with enough event planning to know that whatever day you pick, it will always be a “bad day” for some reason or another. You pick a day and you stick with it - unless it has a chance of falling on Easter Sunday or something like that. When I was a kid, it seemed like every Saturday was Family Day. My brothers and I were home from school, my dad was home from work - and I think mom couldn’t get us all out of the house fast enough! We played baseball in the backyard, or we visited nearby friends or cousins, or we plunked outselves down in the old Chrysler Newport and went for a drive. No movies in the backseat. No laptops. No cell phone conversations. No texting or playing solitary games. We’d spend an hour or two driving to and from our destination while driving each other crazy. Or not. On occasion, we could find distraction in the passing scenery that we could all voice a similar opinion on. That was a family day. We grew up together, knowing what bugged each other, knowing what we each took pleasure in. We made connections. I see some families today that live in the same house but are absolute strangers to each other. They may know the facts of each other’s lives, but they’ve never had a conversation about what they like, don’t like, how they feel about different aspects of society, never been challenged to defend their views, never shared common tasks. These are the things that just naturally occur among families as the children are growing up, not because there’s a government-appointed Family Day once a year. It’s a rapidly-changing world we live in, and we all need to work harder to keep our families happy and healthy and together.

RAINDROPS CLING TO BARE BRANCHES

Land claims greatest deterrent to investment by Ravina Bains and Taylor Jackson The Fraser Institute VANCOUVER, BC/ Troy Media/ More than 10,700 British Columbians were employed in the mining sector in 2013 with an average salary and benefits totalling $114,600. That same year, the mining industry contributed $511 million in revenues to the B.C. government. In spite of that, the industry faces an uncertain future. Depreciated commodity prices, a tough financing market for juniors, and a slowdown in global demand will make it difficult to attract mining investment in the nearterm. This month the B.C. government announced that it will establish a Major Mines Permitting Office to streamline the permitting process for the industry. But a lengthy permitting process is not the biggest policy issue hampering mining investment in the province. That distinction belongs to disputed land claims - the greatest deterrent to investment in B.C. According to the Fraser Institute’s Annual Mining Survey, in terms of pure mineral potential B.C. ranks in the top five most attractive jurisdictions in the world. However, when government policy (or lack thereof) is added to the equation, B.C. starts to lag behind similar jurisdictions. Why? Disputed land claims. In 2013, 70 per cent of survey respondents stated that disputed land

claims were a deterrent to mining investment. And almost a third of respondents said that uncertainty on this issue was either a strong deterrent to investment or a reason to simply not invest. Conversely, less than 50 per cent of respondents considered regulatory duplication and inconsistencies to be a deterrent to investment. Based on survey results, the B.C. government should focus, first and foremost, on providing land certainty by addressing the nearly 50 land claim negotiations in B.C., which claim over 100 per cent of the province’s land. Furthermore, in light of the Supreme Court of Canada’s Tsilhqot’in decision, unless there is more certainty around B.C. lands streamlining the permit process could become irrelevant as mining companies decide not to apply in the first place. The court’s decision states that once aboriginal title has been recognized, project development requires the consent of the First Nation that holds title to the land. If a mining permit is approved on land that later becomes aboriginal title land, and the project is not supported by the First Nation holding title, then the government “may be required to cancel the project . . . if continuation of the project would be unjustifiably infringing.” In fact, since the release of the Tsilhqot’in decision, some B.C. First Nations have already attempted to halt projects under the banner of aboriginal EMAIL:

title. For example, the Neskonlith First Nation issued an eviction notice to proponents of the proposed Ruddock Creek mine in Northern B.C., claiming that the mine is located on aboriginal title land. The Gitxsan First Nations served eviction notices to logging companies, sport fishermen and CN Rail to vacate their traditional territory along the Skeena River, while citing the Tsilhqot’in judgment.With this level of uncertainty in B.C., it’s not surprising that more than 70 per cent of investors are thinking twice before investing in B.C.’s mining sector. With more than 100 per cent of the province under claim, if the government is serious about stimulating investor confidence in the mining sector they need to address the land certainty question. One day, unless more certainty is provided, there may be no one for the new Major Mines Permitting Office to issue permits to. And with an industry that provides $511 million in revenue to the B.C. government, more than 10,700 high-paying jobs for British Columbians, and the most privatesector jobs for aboriginal people, it would be a mistake to let the mining industry falter.

Stand up against bullying ... and support pink shirt day Cyberbullying affects victims in different ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the comfort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.

Impacts

Over time, youth who are bullied or bully others find their own ways of dealing with it. While some victims/bullies may become depressed and begin to withdraw socially, others react aggressively and turn to violence. Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Are Bullied: • Depression • Social anxiety, loneliness, isolation • Stress related health problems (e.g., headaches, stomachaches) • Low self esteem • School absenteeism and academic problems • Aggressive behaviours • Contemplating, attempting, or committing suicide

Step up so others won’t get stepped on.

On Wednesday, February 25th, 2015 be sure to wear your Pink Shirt Day t-shirt and say ENOUGH to bullying! This special day takes place in schools, workplaces, and neighbourhoods across the nation, and features individuals like you bringing awareness to the cause. The goal of the Pink Shirt Day campaign is to raise $300,000 to fund local anti-bullying programs and you can be a part of this amazing campaign!

Bullying Bullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. There are many different forms of bullying: ◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings. ◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and teasing. ◼ Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. This form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council).

What You Can Do Youth If you are a victim of bullying • Walk away or leave the online conversation. • Keep track of the bullying (write it down and/or save a screenshot of the online message). • Tell a trusted adult. If you don’t trust anyone or need to speak with someone urgently, contact the confidential and toll-free Kids Help Phone. • Report the bullying to school administrators. • Report criminal offences, such as threats, assaults and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment. • Report unwanted text messages to your telephone service provider. • Report online bullying to the social media site and block the person responsible. • Facebook • YouTube - Safety Centre • Twitter • Instagram – block a user or report something • Tumblr – how to “ignore” (block) someone If you know someone who is being bullied... Most types of bullying go on as long as someone is watching and laughing. As a bystander, know that you have the power to stop the bullying. 60% of the time, bullying stops in less than 10 seconds when someone steps in (Kids Help Phone). • If you feel it’s safe to do so, tell the bully to stop. • Find friends/students/youth or an adult who can help stop it. • Befriend the person being bullied and lead them away from the situation. • Report it to a teacher or school staff. • Fill out an anonymous letter and drop it off to a teacher or any adult you trust. Adults If you know or think that a child is a victim of bullying... • Talk to them -Let them know that they can trust you and that they shouldn’t deal with bullying alone. • Help them: • document the bullying; • report unwanted text messages to their telephone service provider, or cyberbullying to social media sites; • report the bullying to school administrators; and • report criminal offences, such as threats, assaults, harassment and sexual exploitation to the local police detachment.

February is known for its special celebrations or holidays. Last year, British Columbia decided to create a Civic Holiday called Family Day, falling on the second Monday in February. The rest of the provinces hold it on the third Monday of the month. But the busiest day of the month for restaurants and flor-

ist shops is Feb. 14 – Valentine’s Day. We are encouraged to show that person in our life – whether husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend – that we love them by taking them out for a meal, or buying flowers, a card or chocolates. It is often a day when couples will become engaged. Today, more and more couples are living together rather than getting married. In our society, marriage has been damaged by the growing rates of divorce. One definFeb. 17: Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Supper from 5-7 pm at ition of marriage

respect their husbands – which is what he desperately needs. But where couples struggle the most is in the way they communicate. Dr. Eggerichs says, “Men and women are different, and men often hear and see through blue glasses and hearing aids. Women often see and hear through pink glasses and hearing aids. We are wired differently and assume the other person understood what we were saying, but the result often shows that they did not.” I challenge all couples who are struggling in their marriage to seek out help from a counsellor or pastor, or find a good book on marriage. It is not wrong to ask for help – for many times we cannot see the real problem because we are too close to it. Proverbs 15:22 – “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Jesus says in Matthew 19: 5, 6 – he quotes first from Genesis 2: 24 – “For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. So then they are no longer two but one flesh. What God has joined together, let not man separate.” God’s ideal plan for marriage is for a lifelong journey together. But when divorce or separation occurs there is a lot of pain experienced by the couple and the children involved. For all those couples out there who have been on this wonderful journey of being married – and still growing through it – thank you for not giving up. For all those widows or widowers who had many good years of marriage before your partner died – thank God for the memories. -Victor Koop is pastor of Sage Hills Evangelical Free Church in Ashcroft.
