Bird Count being held Dec. 22

The annual Bird Count in Ashcroft/Cache Creek is scheduled for Sun., Dec. 22. Once again, we will have the support and expertise of Karl Ricker from Whistler and Bert Parke from Logan Lake. Experts and amateurs alike are invited to take part.

Come on out for an invigorating and interesting day of “citizen science” as participants search outside on foot and by car for any and all birds in their specific “circle”.

Participants will meet at 8 am at the OK Stop in Ashcroft to fortify with coffee and to organize teams. Binoculars and a bird identification book are helpful but not necessary. Dress for spending a few hours outside in Winter temperatures.

Expertise in identifying birds is not necessary, as amateurs are paired up with more seasoned birders. Enthusiasm and a good “eye” for spotting birds is all that is necessary.

The Bird Count is held all over North America and the world and collects valuable statistics on the state of our winter bird populations for such organizations as Bird Studies Canada. Volunteer bird counters are a key element in tracking bird population trends.

This is a small commitment of time and a fun way to get some fresh air, meet other birders and add the names of our communities to worldwide bird statistics.

Icy hill stops trucks Area drivers were reminded that winter conditions apply once again to local roads when snow and gusty winds on Monday night caused problems for truckers on the Hwy 1 hill by the Ghost of Walhachin pullout.

Police were called out at 9:14 pm on Nov. 18 for a report of a jackknifed truck at the bottom of the hill. The trucker had righted his rig by the time police arrived, but there were four westbound transport trucks in total who were unable to make it up the hill due to very slippery conditions.

After an hour of rerouting traffic around them, the trucks were chained up and all made it up the hill without further incident.

The following morning at 7:24 am, police attended a single car accident on Hwy 1 by Venables Valley Rd. after a Honda Civic rolled off the icy highway, coming to rest on its wheels.

The 29 year old Kamloops driver was uninjured.

Walhachin man wanted

Nov. 12 at 10:30 am police received two warrants for the arrest of Charles Murphy Gairdner, 48 of Walhachin. He is asked to turn himself in to the Ashcroft RCMP Detachment. Gairdner failed to attend court to answer a charge of refusing to provide a breath sample, and of driving while suspended and breaching conditions which included not to be in the driver’s seat of a vehicle and to carry a copy of his conditions with him at all times.

Nov. 12 at 2:48 pm police attended a domestic dispute at the request of a woman whose neighbour had called asking for help. The 21 year old Cache Creek woman said her 30 year old common law husband was throwing things around and yelling. Police arrived as the man was attempting to leave. They determined that no assault had taken place and that no one, including their three month old baby, had been injured. Nor was there any damage to their apartment as it was also determined that the only thing that he was throwing around were his clothes as he packed his bags with the purpose of leaving permanently. No charges were laid and he was allowed to leave.

Cricket Anyone?

We are in the process of putting a Spring to Summer Cricket circuit together which will play matches in the canyon communities…which would include Lytton, Spences Bridge, Ashcroft, Cache Creek with the possibility of adding a couple more communities.

Initial response has been incredibly positive both from a player standpoint, community participation and corporate sponsorship.

Please email myself if interested in participating as a player, a corporate sponsor, umpire or would like to be a member of our executive committee.

We envision three matches in each community running from April until August. Ideally we will have four teams with one game a week, rotating communities.

The format would include a short Cricket Clinic before the match…(rules, equipment, etc.)

We would also hope to have a tea and goodie break during the match. The local Lions Club or Fire Department could hopefully provide a concession.

Lots to talk about…if interested please email or call… steverice53@msn.com 250-458-2379

Christmas traditions make for a welcoming afternoon The Seniors held their annual Christmas Tea and Bazaar in the Ashcroft Seniors Centre last Saturday.

The tables were filled, but the baked goods and bazaar tables were looking a little “sold out” by the end of the afternoon.

Christmas lights and music in Cache Creek The Cache Creek Christmas Singalong and Winter Lights Appreciation is back for a second year on Dec. 19.

The event began last year, organized by the Cache Creek Beautification Society and Communities in Bloom committee, as a way of recognizing all of the residents who took the time to decorate their homes for Christmas.

From there it grew into an event with music as the Desert Bells Handbell Choir decided to come and play several Christmas numbers, also a jazz band and a recorder-playing duo.

Later in the evening, Mayor John Ranta with his daughters Katherine and Elizabeth led everyone in the Community Hall in the singing of several traditional and popular Christmas songs.

And just as that was ending, Santa made a surprise visit and thrilled all of the children who were present.

Oh yes, and over 50 appreciation certificates were given out to people in Cache Creek who had taken the time to decorate their homes and spread the joy of Christmas to others.

The event is free and so are the hot beverages and snacks. There will be an optional donation jar at the front door and all donations go to help the handbell choir.

Doors at the Community Hall open at 7 pm and music begins soon afterwards.

The Winter Lights Appreciation is not a competition. There are no judes.

It is simply our way of saying “thank you” to those who spuced up their homes.

Everybody who is nominated gets a certificate, which will be handed out at the Dec. 19 event.

Nominations are easy!

You can nominate yourself, or you can nominate a neighbour, or you can nominate someone on the other side of town! Call Carmen Ranta, chair of the Beautification Society and the CiB committee at 457-9119 and tell her you would like to nominate “so-and-so”.

You’ll need to give her a complete name, address and phone number for your nominee.

The Christmas decorations don’t have to be grand or state of the art or artfully arranged - the Rule is, if You like them, then nominate them!

Cache Creek residents don’t limit their enthusiasm for decorating to Christmas only.

Although we aren’t handing out any certificates for it, we would like to recognize a few residents who went out of their way to make Halloween fun and exciting for everyone who stopped by.

Barb

and Dave Clark’s wicked Hallowe’en decorations on Sunvalley Cres. get wilder every year and really stop the traffic. Alex and Robin Ekering also put out some great spooky decorations, as did Jenn Gross who lives down by the Cache Creek park.

Thank you to everyone who channel their enthusiasm into making special oc-

casions even more special for everyone.

Winter Light nominations close on Sat., Dec. 15, so make sure you call in your nominations by that date.

Nominees will be contacted, but everyone is invited to the singalong and musical event on Dec. 19 at 7 pm in the Cache Creek Community Hall.

WENDY COOMBER

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

Reconnecting with some very old (we’re talking 30-plus years ago) school acquaintances earlier this week, I am at once in awe of the network power of the internet, and also of how the choices we make early in life can lead us down an entirely different and sometimes very unpleasant - pathway.

Some would say, “There but for the Grace of God go I,” and others might say, “I’m glad I got out of there while I still could!”

It reinforces once again that the choices we make early in life make a huge difference on what comes later.

Choices such as whether to apply onself to schoolwork or to skip school and spend time hanging out. Whether to adopt a dilligent work ethic or to go from one minimum wage paying job to the next. Whether to start a family early or do some travellling and perhaps take some time to mature.

Even the choice to eat well and exercise or to consume lots of fast foods.

Most teenagers don’t consider the options they have, so it’s up to the adults around them to point these things out. Unfortunately, many adults don’t equate where they are in life to the choices they’ve made in the past. Especially if they aren’t happy with their life. It’s almost always someone else’s fault.

It gets harder to change direction, the older we get. We take on responsibilities that we can’t shrug off and we get used to a certain lifestyle. An individual has an easier time changing direction than a transport truck does.

I read the occasional study that concludes that children raised in poverty will often consume a diet primarily of junkfood, suffer mental health issues, turn to a life of crime, etc. Having grown up in what we called then a low-middle class neighbourhood, I observed children growing up without loving parents often made poor choices early in life. Money had little to do with it.

So, if I were to pick out something that I had in life from Day One that not all of my friends did, it would be my two loving, hard-working parents. Even though they couldn’t make our choices for us, their love made all the difference in our decisions.

LAST YEAR’S SEEDS wait in the garden for warmer days

Doggy etiquette on The Dunes Dear Editor Ashcroft is very fortunate to have a large open area which we refer to as the Dunes where residents (and visitors) can allow their four legged friends to burn off of their energies as well as try to help papa stay a bit healthier as well.

I have been walking our two large dogs out in the dunes for over 15 years now. It has become very apparent over the last few months that the numbers of dog walkers has doubled.

Most are very considerate, pleasant, and a joy to meet with. However, there always are a number of people for whatever reason seem hell-bent on causing what could be a disaster with terrible results for all sides.

It is not my intention, nor my objective, to impose any rules of any type on any two- or four-legged critters that enjoy this area! I simply offer this perspective with the hope it will avert an accident sometime down the road.

I cannot count the times that, as we walked our dogs unleashed, we have suddenly encountered another pet owner coming towards us, also with their pet unleashed. I make a mad dash to call my dogs and place them on leashes, while the other owner smiles sweetly and offers “Oh Fluffy’s friendly - he won’t harm anyone.”

Please don’t assume that the

Journal

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR “other” dog is as friendly as yours. I have witnessed several altercations that have thankfully ended without major injuries to animals or to friendships.

Please understand: Maybe Fluffy is friendly, but my dog could Eat Him!!

My large white male is extremely strong, and on more than one occasion he has pulled me right off of my feet. I am very confident that he would never bite a person he encountered along the trail, but he could sure cause trouble with another dog. Of any size!

Everyone should have the pleasure of allowing their dog to run, but should you encounter another person or animal coming over the ridge toward you, or coming down the trail toward you, please, leash your dog.

Looking forward to seeing you “In the Dunes”.

Variety – The Children’s Charity would like to thank the people of the Village of Clinton for coming together and showing their hearts to children who have special needs.

Your recent “Variety Show” event, which has raised over $4,000, is an example of the power of families coming together to help families. I understand that many individuals and local organizations donated their time and talent to make this gala a huge success and for that we are grateful.

Variety relies on the generosity of people across B.C. who fundraise on our behalf, helping us in no small way to do what we do. It’s thanks to these partnerships that we feel connected to our supporters in every community around the province.

I also understand that Clinton is wrapping up its year-long 150/50 celebrations. We send our warmest congratulations to everyone in recognition of this wonderful milestone. As you look ahead, please know that your support will give thousands of children in B.C. the chance to see their futures as ones filled with help and hope.

It definitely did take a village; one with a huge heart.

On behalf of everyone at Variety – The Children’s Charity, especially the families we serve, thank you for your support.

Drivers who kill cyclists need to face charges This summer I went on a memorial ride for a fellow cyclist from Kamloops who was killed while riding home from work. This man was doing his part to stay “green” and fit by riding his bicycle to work and back.

With over 100 cyclists joining in, I knew this made an impact. The driver who hit him apparently thought he was far enough over to the left to get by him and ran over him instead. As far as I know, the driver was not charged with anything. I’m sure his insurance will go up though, ICBC has a business to run.

I’ve been on the same stretch of road that man was killed probably 50 times. In spots, the shoulder is very narrow. There is plenty of room to put four lanes of traffic for vehicles, but only about one foot for cyclists on the right side of the white line. You can wear hivis clothing, have flashing lights, ride in a small pack, but none of this will help you if someone driving is simply not paying attention.

I spent some time looking up the laws regarding where a cyclist is supposed to ride in BC. Basically it says that a cyclist should ride as far to the right as safely possible, without riding in the dirt of the shoulder. Motor-

ists have to move as far to the left to get by the cyclist to safely get around them.

Which sort of means far enough to the left so they don’t run over the cyclist.

I see articles on the cycling forums all the time – “triathletes killed by motorist”, “cyclist killed”. I’ts so common that it’s scary. The problem with it is that the outcome for the drivers is nothing. Basically, as long as you are not drunk, you don’t leave the scene, and as long as you say you weren’t texting, it’s simply okay. Not a big deal.

If you do a google search you can see the same articles. A 24 year old woman in San Francisco was killed when a truck turned right in front of her while she was riding in the bike lane and killed her, “the truck driver stayed at the scene and was not cited”. In Penticton, a Volkswagen beetle and cyclist collide at an intersection, a woman is killed and her children lost their mother. No charges were laid as there was some confusion on who had the right of way.

You are 18 times more likely to be killed as a cyclist on the highway in the USA than in Europe. In Holland you can travel the whole country by bicycle on separate routes called “landelijke fietroutes”.

People from Holland use their bicycles to go shopping, commute to work, take their kids to the doctor, visit family, and why wouldn’t you with more than 19,000 kms of bicycle paths and lanes? Considering the government won’t even repave the six foot shoulder of the highway that we do have now to ride on, I really can’t see that happening anytime soon in Canada though.

noticed that all around us they have been putting nice smooth pavement right up to the white line?

The reason I heard was “it’s cheaper”.

I’m definitely not saying that cyclists are never at fault. I’ve seen them riding with no helmet, riding the wrong way down the highway, riding at night with nothing for visibility, running stop signs or stop lights. And sometimes, accidents simply happen, and the cyclist was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is what I think should happen when a motorist kills someone riding their bike... The first thing for punishment is go to that person’s house with the police and knock on the door. Then tell the family that their dad or mom won’t be coming home because “I (insert lame excuse here)”.

That might help change things. Second is that person should be charged with vehicular manslaughter.

Until then, if you are a cyclist or plan on taking up cycling, stay as visible as possible, follow the rules of the road, and kiss your family goodbye every time you go for a ride.

Time to change the channel

I was lazy last weekend.

I didn’t plan to be and I didn’t schedule for it. In fact, I had every intention of getting a bunch of things done and I also arranged to meet some friends at an anniversary party. But when the weekend arrived, I didn’t want to do anything or go anywhere.

“You’ve been working too hard,” my husband said. “You’ve burned yourself out.”

It’s true. I have. I’ve also been under a tremendous amount of pressure professionally and personally. All I wanted to do was lay low and recoup.

I watched television, read magazines, and ate too much junk food. I also slept. Much more

than usual.

Aside from the bad eating, my reaction to the stress wasn’t typical and I felt like I should be doing things differently. Maybe talking things out, or writing things out, or at least sweating them out in the gym. But I didn’t do any of that.

Once the weekend ended, I woke up with the realization that I was right on deadline: I had to write this column immediately.

It wasn’t Monday morning like it seemed.

Since it had been a long weekend, it was actually Tuesday. I felt like I’d lost a day in my negative haze.

There would be no more laying on the couch watching other people’s work or ly-

ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com ing on the bed reading about other people’s lives. I would have to sit in an upright position at my desk and try to conjure up something interesting to write about in my completely uninterested state of being.

Yet again I was reminded of why having a back-up story or two is a great idea. I also recalled something that my former boss brought up when I first proposed

this “On a Brighter Note” column almost five years ago.

“Won’t you run out of positive things to write about?” he had asked. I felt like calling him and answering: “Yes, yes I will.”

At the time, that seemed impossible.

After his unconvinced response to my idea, I sat down with a coffee and easily came up with over one hundred future

topic ideas just like that.

But a funny thing happens when you’re living life and you go into a self-induced shut-down mode: your freedom to express yourself can all of a sudden feel less than free. And your eagerness to look for the silver lining in every experience can occasionally dissipate.

But that’s the ebb and flow of life. Some days we’re happy and we feel like we’re walking on air.

Other days we’re glum and feel weighed down by stress and strain.

Yes, attitude can play a major part in us shaking off dark feelings when they arise, and usually I’ll do whatever it takes to cast them aside and get on with life. This time, though, I decided to stay stuck in the muck for a while. I surrendered to the blues while thinking of one of my favourite quotes from my mother-in-law: “This too shall pass.”

One of my best friends also sent me some words of wisdom in a text that simply said: “If ‘Plan A’ doesn’t work, don’t

worry. The alphabet has 25 more letters.”

The note came out of the blue, unsolicited and without her knowing anything about what I was going through or thinking about.

Reading it was a gift.

I typed it out and hung it at my desk. And now that I’ve written this column, I’ll get working on ‘Plan B.’ Or whatever letter I happen to be on now.

Breaking glass

The New Horizon’s Seniors group has been very busy this fall. As I mentioned last month, the mask making workshop was so much fun. Then, later in October a group of 10 went up to hang out with horses for the day. Everyone I spoke to really enjoyed the day long field trip. The verdict is out on the actual “healing” the horses provided, but all agreed that the horses were so relaxed and that it spread to everyone else. I also heard that the lunch was fantastic. This was a day that brought together folks from the community who might not usually spend the day together as they learned something new.

Currently, the group is in the midst of a glass mosaic project. Many folks gathered and worked together to design

Therefore, starting Nov. 20 every Wednesday will see Soup Day at the old school at noon. Please see Carol Madden at the Post office if you’d like to sign up for making the soup one day. Thank-you so much to Carol for taking on the organization of this weekly get together.

Lost & Found LOST from the Shell gas station in Clinton. I drove away with my black HTC cell phone on the roof of my jeep. My phone number is (250)7060165 Fred R. Johnson Feb 11, 1926 - Nov 8, 2013 Fred passed away peacefully and is survived by Mary, his loving wife of 57 years.

He will be forever missed by his children Dennis, Linda (Craig) and Ken (Jackie) and his grandchildren Evan, Sara, Riley and Kelly.

Fred was born to Helena Martens in Aberdeen Saskatchewan and had many brothers and sisters growing up on the prairies.

He served in WWII on Canadian soil. After his discharge in 1946 Fred worked with his dad, David Dyck, running the Clarkboro Ferry across the N. Saskatchewan River.

After his marriage to Mary Szachury in 1956, they moved to Clinton, B.C. where Fred worked for J.B. Fehr & Sons Sawmill until 1960. Then he joined the Dept. of Highways working 28 years until retirement in 1986 as the road maintenance foreman in Logan Lake.

He enjoyed fishing, camping and going South (USA) but mostly Fred loved his golf.

He was greatly loved and will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers, donations in Fred’s memory may be sent to Meadow Creek Golf Club, Box 827 Logan Lake, B.C. V0K 1W0 or brought to the Celebration of Life on Saturday November 23rd at 11 a.m. at the Logan Lake Community Church.

Golden Country presents

... Past, Present & Beyond Without a trace - Pt. 1: Mrs. Young

fact remains that a woman on a “short walk” near her farm disappeared so utterly and completely that a team of searchers looking for her over the course of several days found no trace of her. It gives an idea of the terrain, and the immensity of it, that is almost incomprehensible unless you have seen it up close. Wander a few feet from the road or trail and suddenly one tree looks very much like another, as the forest closes behind you and there are no helpful signposts to point you in the right direction.

The sad postscript to Mrs. Young’s story came almost six months later.

An article in The “Journal” on Nov. 8, 1913 reported that Mr. Young had discovered his wife’s body in a stream, where it had apparently drifted under a log and become completely submerged. “The position of the body explains the failure of the search parties to locate it at the time of her disappearance,” explains the article, continuing “The country in that vicinity is very hilly and is thickly wooded, and could not be covered to any satisfaction,” despite several people scouring the area for more than a week.

So where was Mrs. Young’s body found? Had she somehow managed, despite her illness, to travel a consider-

able distance from her farm, thus taking her outside the area the searchers concentrated on? Was she found in some other creek, far removed from the one that was searched so diligently by those looking for her? No. Mrs. Young’s body was found, the report tells us, “about 600 yards up-stream from the house in which she lived”.

She had covered a distance equivalent to that of six football fields, yet those looking for her were unable to discover so much as a trace, despite focusing their efforts on that area and that stream.

Reporting on Mrs. Young’s disappearance in May, the “Journal” stated that “This is the most mysterious case that has ever been recorded in the district.” It was certainly mysterious; but does it deserve to be called the “most” mysterious disappearance that has occurred in the area? It could be argued that a disappearance from ten years earlier was even more puzzling; and unlike the case of Mrs. Young, which at least had a conclusion – however tragic – it has never satisfactorily been solved, despite a tantalizing clue being found some five years after the fact.

But that will have to wait until the next installment. . . .

Several years ago and a daughter liva friend who lives in ing in Ashcroft, and Ashcroft had occasion had recently arto travel by plane from rived from EngVancouver to Kamland to join them loops.
