Road resurfacing costs uncertain
It’s a risk worth taking, determined Cache Creek Council, as they voted to go ahead with plans to pave Old Cariboo Road without know-ing 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 be-lieve that they could select the contract for re-surfacing 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 separ-ated from MOTI’s larger contract, and that the Ministry would do the selecting if the Village still wanted to proceed with the road resurfa-cing.
“That puts us in a bit or a bind,” said Vil-lage 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 Plamon-don 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 ex-ceed 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 Mc-Murray.
Plamondon agreed, saying the price would be based on quantity of the resurfacing materi-al, 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.
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 Lilloo-et RCMP and Stl’atl’imx Tribal Po-lice 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-
tified and taken into custody by police. The family of Gary Mandseth has
requested that their privacy be respect-ed in light of this tragic event.
Jeffery David Harris, 36, of Lilloo-et has since been charged with second degree murder. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Kam-loops 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 Ser-vices, 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 1-800-222-8477 or leaving a tip online at www.kamloopscrimestoppers.ca.
Murder charge laid in death of Lillooet man

During this period of time, I have missed you so, that only you, my love can only imagine.As you well know, we were inseparable, we were one, we were Kindred Spirits, and as one friend said about us,we were Bonnie & Clyde.No matter what we did, if we were seen out by ourselves, people would ask “where is your partner?” Every time someone would make this comment,I felt so proud that people would look upon our relationship this way.Yes my darling, I have been very privileged to have shared such a meaningful and wonderful life with you.Kristen, I shall love and miss you forever.All my love, Bob.
And for the many wonderful people of Ashcroft, yes you know who you are, you have overwhelmed me with your kindness and support in my time of sorrow.I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart.

By the time you read this, we will have cele-brated Groundhog Day and Valentine’s Day - quite a contrast! - and we will be more than halfway through what I think of as “Febru-ary 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 Car-pet Bowling Tournament in Cache Creek; and Monday, May 5 - Centre closed, Bowling Tour-nament in Cache Creek.
Dorothy ColebankWe 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 acces-sories, 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.

Snowboard foundFeb. 10 a school bus driver noticed a
snowboard abandoned in a ditch along the highway in the Walhachin area. Anyone missing a black Vertex board can contact the RCMP at 453-2216.
Foggy highway Feb. 12 at 10 pm police received
a complaint about an erratic trans-port truck hauling lumber, southbound on Hwy 97. The truck was located at Chevron and the driver was spoken to. The 57 year old Canim Lake man said he was having a hard time seeing in the dense fog. It was also determined that his log books were not maintained properly and he was given a written warning.
Stolen truck discoveredFeb. 13 at 9:40 am a BC Hydro em-
ployee reported a suspicious pickup truck that had been parked for about a week at the substation on Hwy 97C just off Government St. It had a damaged ignition and bore license plates that didn’t belong to it. Police determined
that the blue 2000 Ford F250 had been reported stolen in Williams Lake on Jan. 31. The license plates were also stolen from another vehicle in Wil-liams Lake. Anyone with infor-mation on the vehicle is asked
to phone RCMP at 453-2216.
Breaking glassFeb. 14 at 6:30 am police attended
a residence on the Ashcroft Reserve for a domestic dispute after a 21 year old Kamloops man smashed a glass on the floor of the house and then smashed the driver’s side door window in his 20 year old girlfriend’s car parked outside. The man departed be-fore police arrived, but he is still wanted for arrest on a charge of mischief.
Wouldn’t go quietlyFeb. 15 at 10 pm police
were called tot he Husky for a drunken dispute involved three men and a woman. All but one of the men were co-operative and left when told to. A 26 year old Chase man be-came beligerant with police and was arrested for causing a disturbance. He was lodged in cells overnight and is facing
a charge of causing a disturbance in a pub-lic place.
Windows smashedFeb. 15 at 11:55
pm a 53 year old Ash-croft man leaving the Chevron found three smashed windows in his parked Saturn SL1. A review of the sur-veillance tape the next morning showed a heavyset woman with long black hair getting out of her blue pick-up with a baseball bat and smashing the win-dows in his vehicle. He did not recognize her. Anyone with in-formation about her identity are asked to call the RCMP at 453-
2216.
Traxx stuck on tracksFeb. 16 at 6:50 pm a 2014 Chev
Traxx became stuck on the CN cross-ing on Old Cariboo Rd. as the driver, a 66 year old Ashcroft woman, attempted to cross it. The wheels slipped between the tracks and she was unable to move. By the time police arrived, the train had come. Unable to stop in time, it pushed the vehicle about 50 feet along the tracks. The driver was not inside it at the time. Police are working with CN Police to determine why the vehicle slipped off the crossing.

Eagle Motorplex back in the game
The Nl’akapxm Eagle Motorplex is brush-ing 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 mak-ing 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 Lang-ley Loafer’s Old Time Drags in June that co-incides 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 week-ends 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 for-ward to adding to that history going forward.”
As an NHRA-sanctioned track, the facil-ity will be eligible to offer racers a variety of NHRA racing opportunities, including the NHRA Summit Racing Series, the NHRA Sum-mit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League, NHRA Jr. Street and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA.
“Having another place to race in West-ern Canada is good news for drag racing in the Northwest,” said Matt Levonas, NHRA Pacif-ic Division director. “We’re thrilled to have the track back in the NHRA family.”
Built in 1987, the multi-use motorsports fa-cility 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 demoli-tion and reconstruction.
Fraser-Nic-ola MLA Jack-ie Fraser has been elected to the position of Liberal Caucus Chair. She takes over from MLA Michelle Stil-well who was given a Cabinet posting a few days earlier.
“I believe that the job 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 for-ward.”
Tegart was elected by secret ballot by the caucus on Feb. 12 to the position which is a one-year term. MLA Gordon Hogg held the position for two years before Stilwell. During his tenure, he launched an investigaton into the ethnic vot-ing plan scandal in 2013.
Tegart was elected MLA in the 2013 prov-incial election, defeating incumbent NDP MLA Harry Lali.

RAINDROPS CLING TO BARE BRANCHES
Land claims greatest deterrent to investment
Once upon a time, a few people “boo-hoo-ed” because there wasn’t a statutory holiday in February.
Now that we have one - Family Day - people are still crying because it doesn’t co-incide 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 Satur-day 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 plan-ning to know that whatever day you pick, it will always be a “bad day” for some reason or an-other. You pick a day and you stick with it - un-less it has a chance of falling on Easter Sunday or something like that.
When I was a kid, it seemed like every Sat-urday 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 driv-ing 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 togeth-er, knowing what bugged each other, knowing what we each took pleasure in. We made con-nections.
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.
by Ravina Bainsand Taylor JacksonThe Fraser InstituteVANCOUVER, BC/ Troy Media/ -
More than 10,700 British Columbians were employed in the mining sector in 2013 with an average salary and bene-fits totalling $114,600. That same year, the mining industry contributed $511 million in revenues to the B.C. govern-ment.
In spite of that, the industry faces an uncertain future. Depreciated com-modity prices, a tough financing mar-ket for juniors, and a slowdown in global demand will make it difficult to attract mining investment in the near-term.
This month the B.C. government announced that it will establish a Ma-jor Mines Permitting Office to stream-line the permitting process for the in-dustry. But a lengthy permitting pro-cess is not the biggest policy issue hampering mining investment in the province. That distinction belongs to disputed land claims - the greatest de-terrent 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 sim-ilar jurisdictions.
Why? Disputed land claims. In 2013, 70 per cent of survey re-spondents stated that disputed land
claims were a deterrent to mining in-vestment. And almost a third of re-spondents said that uncertainty on this issue was either a strong deterrent to investment or a reason to simply not in-vest.
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 Su-preme Court of Canada’s Tsilhqot’in decision, unless there is more certain-ty around B.C. lands streamlining the permit process could become irrel-evant as mining companies decide not to apply in the first place.
The court’s decision states that once aboriginal title has been recog-nized, 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 hold-ing 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
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 aborigin-al title land. The Gitxsan First Nations served eviction notices to logging com-panies, 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 govern-ment is serious about stimulating in-vestor confidence in the mining sector they need to address the land certain-ty question. One day, unless more cer-tainty 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 Brit-ish Columbians, and the most private-sector jobs for aboriginal people, it would be a mistake to let the mining industry falter.

February is known for its special celebrations or holidays. Last year, British Columbia de-cided 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 – wheth-er husband, wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend – that we love them by taking them out for a meal, or buying flowers, a card or choc-olates. It is often a day when couples will become engaged.
Today, more and more couples are liv-ing together rather than get-ting married. In our society, mar-riage has been damaged by the growing rates of divorce.
One defin-ition of marriage
someone has said, is this: “Mar-riage is like a fly on a screen door – those on the inside want out, and those on the outside want in”. This is not God’s definition, and not the way God views mar-riage. Genesis 2: 24 says, “For
this reason a man shall leave fath-er and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh.” So then, in marriage the equation goes like this: 1 + 1 = 1. It is a commitment to work together, to learn together, to grow togeth-er, and to struggle
together – until one partner dies. Too many couples – when it
gets really tough – separate or divorce. There is help out there for couples who are struggling in their marriages. One such book
is called, “Love and Respect” by Dr. Emer-son Eg-gerichs. This book is geared to help those couples who think there are no answers left for their marriage. It also a good book for any couple that wants to improve their mar-riage.
The Bible, in Ephesians 5:33, com-mands men to love their wife for that is what she desires. The wives are com-manded to
respect their husbands – which is what he desperately needs. But where couples struggle the most is in the way they com-municate. Dr. Eggerichs says, “Men and women are differ-ent, and men often hear and see through blue glasses and hearing aids. Women often see and hear through pink glasses and hear-ing aids. We are wired different-ly and assume the other person understood what we were say-ing, 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 counsel-lor 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 Gen-esis 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 sep-arate.” God’s ideal plan for mar-riage 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 mar-ried – and still growing through it – thank you for not giving up. For all those widows or wid-owers who had many good years of marriage before your partner died – thank God for the mem-ories.

Sad to see the old bridge coming down
What incredibly warm weather for February! I’ve been out in the garden feeling like spring is here. However, Feb-ruary can be tricky – it will lull you into thinking its spring, and then can slap you in the face with a Nor’easter blizzard!
Until we’re sure the warm garden-ing weather is upon us, Soup Day con-tinues, with growing attendance. Be sure to remember Wednesdays at noon at the school to share some good food and a few laughs.
The Bridging to Literacy community unplug and play literacy family day was a great success in Spences Bridge. Fif-teen kids and several adults turned up for the fun; there was story time, crafts, pancakes, badminton, and lots of priz-es. Thank-you Ann Belcham and Deanna Horsting for coming to our community to spread the fun! Thanks also to Angie Thorne, Christine Walkem, and the crew at Cook’s Ferry for hosting.
I’m excited to announce that the Bridging to Literacy committee has en-gaged Richard Wagamese to come and speak in our communities. One of Can-ada’s foremost Indigenous authors and storytellers, Richard has been a profes-
sional writer since 1979. His im-pressive body of work includes six novels, a book of poetry and five non-fiction titles, including two memoirs and an anthology of his newspaper columns. Richard has been honoured with many, many awards recognizing his achieve-ments in writing. Everyone is wel-come to come and listen to Richard speak about his work.
There are two opportunities to catch Richard on March 19; at Ash-croft Secondary school at 1:30 and at 5 in Spences Bridge at Clemes Hall on Hwy 8. There will be light finger food snacks, (pot luck sandwiches, cookies, etc.) after the Spences Bridge talk.
The Desert Daze Festival committee has met to shortlist the many many musi-cians that applied to play at our festival this year. It is very difficult to choose, but we have shortlisted a wide variety of genre bands – everything from country to rock, folk to world to bluegrass! August 7-8 promises to be two fantastic days! We are specifically looking for someone to manage the vendors, (booking them, di-recting them for set up, etc.), anyone out there interested in taking this on?
Plans for our 2015 /16 Farmers Flea Market are under way – we’ve decided that we’ll open for our first market on the Sunday May 17 of the May long week-end, then every Sunday from 10 to 2.
We hope to see the attendance of our monthly Bingo build as we continue to hold a bingo on the third Monday of each month. At Clemes Hall, the doors open at
6 – concession snacks available. Hope to see you there!
The date has been set for our annual spring clean-up – Saturday, March 28.. We’ll meet at the school at 10 am, and make our way around town to clean up our roadways. We’ll finish up by gath-ering for a lunch to celebrate our good work!
Unfortunately, we were unsuccess-ful with our Imaginebc grant application. Without the funds that the grant would have provided for the historical pro-ject, it is not possible to move forward as planned. However, we are still exploring the idea of archiving some our history, but on a smaller scale.
New to Spences Bridge – Zum-ba Gold dance / aerobic
exercising class! This is a super fun way to get some exercise, men and women of all ages are very welcome to attend. Classes are Tuesdays at noon at the hall. You can pay the drop in rate, or get a dis-count if you pre-pay. Thanks to Karen Savage for taking us on and her willing-ness to travel down to us! There will be a three week break in March for holidays, (3, 10, 17), but we will continue with a dance exercise cd on those days to keep us going! (that will be free).
Check our Facebook page for updates, news and announcements. Comments and questions will be answered there, or you can contact me at [email protected]. Our next regular meeting is March 11, at the hall at 7pm. Please join us!
