The Village of Cache Creek has turned to crowdfund-ing platform black-press4good.com in order to raise money to assist in the after-math of last Saturday’s disastrous flooding.

“Lots of people were working on dif-

ferent fundraising proj-ects,” said Cache Creek Councillor Wyatt McMurray, “and we decided that it needed to be focussed and under one umbrella.” He and several oth-ers began researching various crowdfunding platforms, and Carmen Ranta suggested a B.C. platform, which is based in Vancouver.

Blackpress4good.com crowdfunding is powered by Fundrazr, and promoted via local community newspa-pers.

A committee was formed at the Council meeting on May 25, and the fundraising initiative received the approval of council. “If it goes through the Village then people

know it’s being prop-erly collected and han-dled and dispersed,” said McMurray. “People want to give money and help,” he added. “This gives them one place to go to, where they know the money will be accounted for.”

The committee will set criteria as soon as possible, such as how

to apply for some of the money raised. The committee will also decide who the recipi-ents will be. More than 100 residents have been displaced from their homes, some of which could not be saved, and many people have lost almost everything. Due to the nature of the event, most people have been told their

losses are not covered by insurance.

“This is purely for Cache Creek residents who’ve been affected,” said McMurray. “It’s not to pay for lamp-posts or park benches. One hundred per cent of the donations received will go to people in Cache Creek. None of it will go to the Village.”

FundRazr, which helps people raise funds via online dona-tions, started in 2012, and since that time has hosted more than 45,000 campaigns and raised more than $52 million in dona-tions. Anyone who wants to donate to the Cache Creek relief fund can go to Blackpress4Good.com.

Severe thunder storms and lightening on May 27 was the cause of a fire approximately 4.5 km up Silk Road. “That's (Silk Road) approximately 6.6 km up Park Road from the roundabout,” said Jim Jones, manager of Clearwater Fire Zone.

“At 4:55 p.m. last Wednesday, there was a lightening strike in Larry Colborne's woodlot which was a winter logging block. It grew to approximately three hectares then went into the standing timber above the block for another three hectares.” said Jones. “The standing timber is riddled with dead pine.”

“Two three-person Initial Attack crews were sent out. Wadleggers excavator was hired to open up the roads, and air tankers ringed the fire with mud and worked for a good hour or so,” said the Fire Zone manager.

“Thursday morning a 20 man unit crew and two 3-person Initial Attack crews were on site, plus an excavator, dozer and two water tenders (trucks). By Thursday the fire was approximately 50 per cent contained and in patrol status by Saturday.”

As of Monday crews continued to patrol the fire. “No hot spots have been found since Saturday, reported FPA Richard Swift.

When asked if there were any new fires Swift reported there was a small one up Peddie Mountain and another one up the TFL. Both are extinguished.

The proposed Trans Mountain Expansion follows the existing

route or other linear infrastructure for 90% of the way.

That means less than 100 kms needs to be moved to undisturbed

lands. These reroutes will be made to improve safety and address

environmental considerations, and will accommodate changes

in land usage since the pipeline was originally built in 1953.

We’ve been talking with the public, stakeholders, landowners

and Aboriginal communities along the proposed corridor to hear

their concerns. We expect you will ask questions. We’ve made

adjustments in many places to address the concerns we’ve heard.

Our intention in all of our planning is to minimize the impact on

residents, communities and the environment, while ensuring that

safe construction and operations are possible.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) supports the twinning of the Trans-Mountain Pipeline.

The board of directors overwhelmingly approved a motion of support for the project during its meeting May 28.

Four directors were opposed — alternate director Donovan Cavers, mayor of Lytton Jessoa Lightfoot, Area I director Steven Rice and Area M director Randy Murray.

The motion was brought to the board by Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine.

“I think it is important for the TNRD to take a position on this issue,” Raine said, noting the products are passing through the corridor regardless and it is important to ensure they are doing so in the safest possible manner.

“I guess one could argue about all the issues with the environment, the tar sands,” he continued.

“That’s not the issue with my motion. They’re going to be passing through the corridor, the pipeline is the best foreseeable option.”

Kamloops city Councillor Ken Christian seconded the motion.

“Irrespective of how we feel about fos-sil fuels, we are still using fossil fuels,” he said. “We have to be conscious that, in a global society using them, there is an increasing need. Getting these products to people should be done in the safest way.”

For Christian, that is the pipeline.Kamloops Councillor Arjun Singh also

spoke in support of the motion, though he noted his support was not of continuing to use the pipeline in perpetuity.

Cavers was the lone Kamloops councillor to speak against the motion.

“There’s not much reason for the TNRD to be taking a stand on the political hot potato,” he said.

“The elephant in the room is climate change. In general, our society needs to be moving away from using more and more fossil fuels.”

He noted supporting the pipeline was, in essence, supporting 60 years of increased fossil fuel usage.

Kamloops area director Mel Rothenburger recused himself from the vote as the pipeline passes through his property.

The Raft Mountain Skating Club of Clearwater has received $8,050 from the province’s Community Gaming Grants program.

The club will use the funds for its skating lessons programs.

“There are few things more ‘Canadian’ than learning to skate,” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “This grant will allow more young people in Clearwater to learn this great, healthy activity that encourages life-long physical fitness.”

“These funds will ensure the Raft Mountain Skating Club can continue to offer skating lessons to the community at

an affordable level, thereby keeping it accessible to every-one,” Raft Mountain Skating club treasurer Chris Kreke said. “With few amenities for youth in our small town, it is important to offer the learn-to-skate programs to our youth to keep them active and involved."

Every year, the provincial government approves $135 million in gaming grants that benefit more than 5,000 local non-profit organizations that serve communities throughout British Columbia.

The Barriere and District Riding Club (B&DRC) held the first events of their competition season with a gymkhana on May 23, and a horse show on May 24.

The unsettled weather over the week-end put the newest addition to the Light Horse area at the North Thompson Fall Fair facility to use – a beautiful new cover on the grandstand.

The Light Horse show ring had the last uncovered grandstand on the fairgrounds, and the B&DRC decided it was time to provide some cover for spectators and com-petitors.

This was made possible by a very generous grant from the Lower North Thompson Community Forest Society (LNTCFS), and in May, LNTCFS

secretary/treasurer, Martin Matthews joined B&DRC presi-dent Darcey Woods to unveil the completed project.

Ruth Black headed up the project commit-tee. Bob Black, Bob Brandenburg, John Gidinsky and Uli Migl completed the con-struction. The B&DRC say the time and efforts of these volunteers were greatly appreciat-ed by the club, and will be for years to come as the enjoy the covered seating.

In addition to the LNTCFS grant, donations were also received from Jim’s Market in Little Fort, Noble Tractor in Kamloops, and the Kamloops Large Animal Veterinary Clinic.

Barriere and District Riding Club says a big thank you to all of their donors and amazing volunteers for such generous support of their organization.

Horse enthusiasts and members of the public are invited to check out their upcoming events – a jumping and horse show on June 20 and

21, and a gymkhana on June 27.

Editor, The Times:I just don't understand

how it has come to be that some mayors and councils on the North Thompson appear ready to accept cash offers from Kinder Morgan, before Canadians have even said yes or no to this project. In Langley mayor and council has refused this money to date, some citizens even call-ing it a "bribe." The Kinder Morgan website notes the fol-lowing sums will be "to com-pensate for the disruption" during pipeline construction: Clearwater $390,000, Barriere

$290,000 and Vavenby, Birch Island, Black Pool, Blue River, Avola, Little Fort and Black Pines, $845,000.

I have been coming to the North Thompson region for 50 years for business and pleasure. The sport and First Nations fisheries, and other river industries, are and always will be more economi-cally important than the local valley pipeline industry. In fact the proposed new pipe is not for Canadians at all, but is a Texas company supplying China with tar sands bitumen. As a businessman and as an

enjoyer of the outdoors of the North Thompson, I can see only negative economic benefits coming from this tar sands pipeline.

This is because tar sands bitumen is the worst pollut-ing of all oils, and would coat the Thompson and Fraser river gravel and sloughs for 1,000s of miles and as we know from the Alaska and the Kalamazoo spills this oil would be unrecoverable and would kill the river for a gen-eration or more.

There have been many spills on the Trans Mountain pipeline and there will be many more, this is just anoth-er statistic. In my experience this company does its utmost to keep these spills from public view. I can forward a summary report of these past spills to concerned citizens who might wish to now pres-ent this to mayor and council (my email is [email protected])

Not in favour of pipeline

The public response to the appeal on behalf of Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators hockey team, for a liver donor has been a heart-warming demonstration of the gener-osity of our community. Fortunately, a donor was found and the transplant was performed in time to save his life.

But is it fair that he received a donation when many others are wait-ing, and dying, on the waitlist for a transplant? This is one of the com-mon themes in the commentary in the news over the past few days.

It is entirely understandable for those in desperate need to give up on the waitlist for a deceased donor and to reach out to their friends and fam-ily, and, if they are able to do so, to the public to find a live donor. There is perhaps an inescapable unfairness in all such appeals for live donors. Those with larger families and social circles may have a higher chance of locating a suitable donor. As for appeals to the public, those with wealth, fame, charisma or a particu-larly compelling story are likely to do better than those without these attri-butes because they are more appeal-ing to the public or because they have better access to the means of effective mass communication.

Although some are critical of public appeals for live organ donors, it is important to note that refrain-ing from launching these appeals does nothing to help anyone. In fact, it may actually harm both people like Mr. Melnyk who hope to find a donor as well as others on the wait-list. There are several ways in which public appeals to help one specific individual might indirectly benefit others waiting for a transplant.

When the topic of organ dona-tion and transplantation attracts the public's attention, as it has done this week, more people tend to register their willingness to donate after death and to speak to their families about donation. This benefits everyone by increasing the availability of organs from deceased donors. It is important to remember that wealth and fame do not play a role in the allocation of organs from deceased donors in Canada, even if these factors might offer a platform from which to launch more successful appeals for

live donors.Second, some of those who have

come forward to help Mr. Melnyk may be willing to help one of the other unknown Canadians facing a similarly desperate plight. In other words, Mr. Melnyk's public appeal may well save the lives of others who are less well-placed than he to com-mand public attention.

According to the most recent annual statistics from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, 374 Canadians were awaiting a liver transplant in 2012. In the same time period, 111 in need of a liver trans-plant died or were removed from the waitlist. It is hard not to notice that in only a couple of days this past week, 2,000 people responded to the appeal on Mr. Melnyk's behalf, and more than 500 sent in donor applica-tions. This level of support could go a long way toward meeting the need for liver transplants in Canada.

The ideal outcome in this case is a healthy recovery for Mr. Melnyk and for the person who donated to him, as well as - and as important - spill-over benefits for the many others awaiting a transplant. This could be in the form of increased registration for deceased donation and perhaps live donation from some of the many people who stepped forward for Mr. Melnyk. In fact, 20 of the many potential donors who stepped forward are reported to have told surgeons they would like to donate to others in need.

It is in our hands as members of the public to act to help the many unknown Canadians who are living among us desperately but quietly and anonymously awaiting a trans-plant. If we are troubled that the overwhelming response to celebrity appeals for live donors leaves these others unaided, there are steps we can take to help them too. It is a simple matter to register to donate after one's death.

Editor, The Times: Between elections, what tools

can Canadians use to hold their federal government to account? One important tool is the Access to Information Act. You may not have heard of it, but it’s a vitally impor-tant law that lets any Canadian request information about what the government is doing, including just what our tax dollars are being spent on, and by whom. And even more importantly, it creates a legal responsibility for the government to provide the information.

In March, Canada’s Information Commissioner released a special report containing 85 recommenda-tions to update the Act. The cur-rent law has been in place since 1982 and without major reform since.

It only makes sense that this law be adapted for the realities of the 21st century.

The first big recommendation is extending the Act; currently, many parts of government are not even covered. Some, like the House of Commons and Senate, are familiar to Canadians. Others, such as the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs, are virtu-ally unknown – even though their budget is over $500 million.

There’s no good reason why these taxpayer-funded bodies are not covered. There’s little point in a transparency law that doesn’t follow much of the money in the first place.

Another important recom-mendation would require the government to provide data in an “open, reuseable and accessible format.” The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) has on many occasions requested information, only to receive boxes of blurry, photocopied documents, which

were obviously printed off from a program like Excel. This is a pointless waste of everyone’s time, money and paper.

Perhaps most importantly, the Commissioner suggests that when grants or loans are given to third parties – referred to in some cir-cles as “subsidies” or “corporate welfare,” that the recipients not be permitted to withhold informa-tion about repayment.

Under the current rules, many large corporations claim “com-mercial sensitivity” as a reason not to release details. To take just a single example of dozens, con-sider Mitel Networks of Ottawa, which received $60 million from the government in 2002. To this day, the company has refused to let the government disclose any information about repayment of that loan (if there has been any repayment).

In addition, the Commissioner recommends that government proactively publish information about all grants and loans given by government, including the status of repayment and compli-ance with any terms – rather than forcing Canadians to request the information first.

Not every recommendation in the Commissioner’s report is a slam-dunk: opening the request system up to people outside of Canada, for example, seems unnecessary. But on balance, many would be big improve-ments.

It may not be the sexiest politi-cal issue during an election year, but transparent and accountable government is extremely impor-tant in any democratic society.

Editor, The Times: We are fortunate to have in and near our

community of Clearwater, many delightful, quiet trails to walk with our dogs, our children or our grandchildren. One of my favourites is the trail to the point of land where the Clearwater and the North Thompson Rivers meet, and I am sure that many others enjoy it too. Until now it

has always been clean and tidy in spite of small remains of campfires and picnics. But I walked there Friday morning and found an awful lit-ter of water bottles, beer cans and other kinds of garbage, which really distressed me. Please people, can't you carry it out when you go?

Remuneration and Expense Reporting

The Director and Committee Member Remuneration and Expense Report for 2014 was presented to the board and is now available for public inspection. If resi-dents wish to view the report, they can find it on the finance page of tnrd.ca

Fire Service resolutionThe province of

B.C. is expected to introduce legislation in the spring of 2016 that will require regional districts to perform fire inspections of public buildings in rural areas. As most regional districts have neither the staff nor the existing funding source to carry out

fire inspections, many regional districts and area associations are considering similar resolutions opposing a proposed download of a provincial responsi-bility to local govern-ment.

A resolution will be forwarded to UBCM for consideration at the 2015 annual convention and the TNRD's voice will be added to the opposi-tion for this initiative.

Search and Rescue grants awarded

Kamloops, Logan Lake, Nicola Valley, Barriere and Wells Gray Search and Rescue teams will each receive a $10,000 annual Search and Rescue operating grant.

The South Cariboo Search and Rescue team will receive a $3,325 annual operat-ing grant.

The board of direc-tors also approved funding for the fol-lowing equipment and training grants:

• $15,662.50 for Kamloops Search and Rescue

• $3,118.57 for wells Gray Search and Re3scue

• $571.03 for Logan Lake Search and Rescue.

Support for twinning Trans Mountain project

The board passed a resolution supporting the proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain expansion project, subject to the pipeline application meeting leading construction and environmental standards.

Chief and council of Simpcw First Nation were officially sworn in for a three year term in Chu Chua on Monday, June 1, 2015. The ceremony took place in the Simpcw Community Hall and was officiated over by Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, Tribal Director, Bonnie Leonard, who admin-istered the Oaths of Office to the new council.

New Chief Fred Fortier, is joined by Councillors Christine ‘Tina’ Donald, Tom Eustache, George Lampreau, Ron Lampreau Jr., Shelly Loring, and Don Matthew.

Outgoing Chief Ritta Matthew said of the new council, "The people of our community have put their trust into these people to help them move forward with their lives. I am looking forward to seeing more good things happen as these are the people to do it."

Chief Fortier addressed the numer-ous visitors as well as band members who attended, stat-ing, "Everyday we kiss the ground because our Elders never signed away any of our ground belonging to the Simpcw. I want to thank them for that, and because of that, for the opportunities we now have all the way down to McLure. I have been around [Simpcw govern-ment] for 26 years and nothing sur-prises me, not even the province. From

McBride, from Jasper down to McLure we have collective opportunities to make some money and protect the environment. I hope this council will trust me to move forward with some of the tough decisions we will have to make."

Councillor Loring noted, "I am firmly rooted in my cultural values, traditions and ways. I have completed eight years in council and am look-ing forward to another term. We will continue to work together for a strong voice for our people."

Councilor Donald said, "I am look-ing forward to starting my 18th year on council out of 20 years, – as I took a three year break. I am also looking forward to continuing our partner-ships."

Councillor George Lampreau stat-ed, "I look forward to the next three years with a lot of hope for our Band. I also look forward to working with our partners and furthering our Band's political agenda. Working to not just improve the lives of us here at Simpcw, but everyone up and down the Valley."

A number of dignitaries and resi-dents stepped up to the microphone to give their congratulations, with a num-ber also presenting gifts to the new chief and council. District of Barriere, District of Clearwater, and the Village of Valemount mayors were all in atten-dance; pledging to work together with Simpcw and the communities of the North Thompson. Also represented was the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, TNRD Area 'O' and 'A', and the Barriere and Clearwater Chambers of Commerce.

Immediately following the ceremony refreshments were served and the net-working began.

TNRD highlights: Expense reports now available to public


50 YEARS AGO:School District 26

trustees discussed the concern of Blue River and Avola parents about their children of 12 or 13, who had the choice of living away from home to attend school in Clearwater, or taking courses by correspon-dence.

A request for a

RCMP detachment in Barriere “... will be investigated and if necessary, action will be taken,” a letter from the attorney-general of B.C. told the Barriere Chamber of Commerce.

45 YEARS AGO:The main line of the

CNR was closed when 18 cars of an 86-car

coal unit train tore up the tracks at Blue River.

Elementary school athletes of School District 26 broke 20 or 30 existing field event records during their sports day held at Star Lake School grounds.

40 YEARS AGO:Approval was

received from Victoria by the Clearwater

Improvement District to proceed with the exten-sion of the water line which would make CID water available to resi-dents as far as the sub-divisions surrounding the Brookfield shopping centre.

35 YEARS AGO:TNRD approved the

rezoning of 15 acres behind Wells Gray Hotel to allow develop-ment of a shopping cen-ter. The owners hoped to start developing the area by the following September.

Clearwater area resi-dents with an interest in business, tourism or flying were to have an opportunity to elect an airport committee to represent their interests during an upcoming TNRD feasibility study into airports in the North Thompson.

30 YEARS AGO:Negotiations

between the North Thompson Sportsplex, CUPE Local 900 and School District 26 col-lapsed. "It's a pretty sad state of affairs when employees are told that, as a condition of set-tling the contract, they have to agree to let a non-union manager become a member of the union and do union work,” said Roger

Mayer, chairperson of the Sportsplex unit.

25 YEARS AGO:Staff sergeant Frank

Baruta, the former NCO-in-charge of Clearwater RCMP, was the class's choice to give the commence-ment address at the CSS graduation. “You will never again all sit together, so enjoy each other today,” he said.

North Thompson Aquatic Society had concluded that the only way Clearwater could have a public swim-ming pool would be to put a free-standing pool into the Sportsplex, said spokesperson Larissa Hadley.

20 YEARS AGO:Police estimated 200

persons, including CSS grads and many of their parents, attended a party at “The Farm” follow-ing the graduation prom at the Sportsplex. A roadblock netted one weapon seizure and one liquor seizure.

Roy Cragg, vice-chair of the TNRD Area A TV, parks and cemeteries committee, called the Times with channel changes for the Brookfield and Vavenby repeaters.

Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital was to receive two units of

Type O Rh-negative blood every month for the use in emergency situations. At the time, critical patients had to wait one or two hours for local donors to come in and give blood, said hospital adminis-trator Linda Basran.

15 YEARS AGO:One of two escapees

from Bear Creek Camp was killed instantly when the stolen pickup he was driving left Highway 5 south of Little Fort at high speed and hit several large trees. The 21-year-old was due for release in 61 days. His 19-year-old passenger was in Vancouver general Hospital with serious injuries.

Clearwater flushed its water system and added more chlorine after one high bacteria count. Administrator Kim Heyman felt spring runoff was getting dirt in the water.

10 YEARS AGO:Clearwater

Provincial Court wel-comed Judge Chris Cleavely after a 25 year absence from the valley. “… my family has been in the valley for darn near 100 years… and it’s nice to be back.”

Dr. Ifor Thomas was honored by his fel-low rural doctors for his meritorious long medical service to the community at the 13th Rural and Remote Medical Convention in Montreal. “Rural medicine is becoming recognized as a separate field worldwide,” said Thomas.

5 YEARS AGO:A meeting between

the board of the Thompson Regional Hospital Board and Dr. Roger Halpenny, CEO of Interior Health Authority, left Clearwater councilor

Bert Walker concerned that the health authority was planning on replac-ing rural emergency rooms with upgraded air and ground ambu-lance services. "To me, it reeks of reduc-tion of service at Dr. Helmcken," he said.

Jean Nelson, a member of the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee, asked Clearwater council for help in controlling yel-low iris around Dutch Lake. "A lot of people don't realize it's a weed but it's very invasive," she said.

1 YEAR AGO:TNRD issued an

evacuation alert to the residents of Upper Clearwater as high water threatened the crossing at Second Canyon.

Wells Gray Park has a unique geo-logical history that deserves designation as a UNESCO Geopark and even a World Heritage Site, said Dr. Cathie Hickson during a presentation at the Infocenter. Formerly with the Geological Survey of Canada, Hickson had done her Ph.D. thesis on the park's volcanoes.

Local residents were being invited to sign a petition to keep convicted killer David Shearing (Ennis) from being released on parole. In 1982 he had murdered her uncle, his wife, two daughters and his wife's two par-ents, said Tsawwassen resident Shelley Boden.

Members of Simpcw First Nation and Canim Lake Indian Band joined others to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Wells Gray Infocentre and Art Galley. The displays had been renewed and now included more about local First Nations his-tory and culture.

I have been around [Simpcw govern-ment] for 26 years and nothing sur-prises me, not even the province. From

McBride, from Jasper down to McLure we have collective opportunities to make some money and protect the environment. I hope this council will trust me to move forward with some of the tough decisions we will have to make."

Councillor Loring noted, "I am firmly rooted in my cultural values, traditions and ways. I have completed eight years in council and am look-ing forward to another term. We will continue to work together for a strong voice for our people."

Councilor Donald said, "I am look-ing forward to starting my 18th year on council out of 20 years, – as I took a three year break. I am also looking forward to continuing our partner-ships."

Councillor George Lampreau stat-ed, "I look forward to the next three years with a lot of hope for our Band. I also look forward to working with our partners and furthering our Band's political agenda. Working to not just improve the lives of us here at Simpcw, but everyone up and down the Valley."

A number of dignitaries and resi-dents stepped up to the microphone to give their congratulations, with a num-ber also presenting gifts to the new chief and council. District of Barriere, District of Clearwater, and the Village of Valemount mayors were all in atten-dance; pledging to work together with Simpcw and the communities of the North Thompson. Also represented was the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, TNRD Area 'O' and 'A', and the Barriere and Clearwater Chambers of Commerce.

Immediately following the ceremony refreshments were served and the net-working began.

Local author publishes book about panning for gold in B.C.Sandra Holmes

If you are inter-ested in learning anything about gold panning in British Columbia reading Jim Lewis’ book, Gold Panning in British Columbia is the next best thing to sitting down and talking with him. Jim is retired from various careers including being a mortician, a peace keeper, a champion boxer, a rancher and a geologist. Gold Panning in British Columbia is a book he co-authored with his late wife, Susan Campany. It is a comprehensive review of information from his three previous books and an invalu-able guide of where to go gold panning in British Columbia. When asked how he got started with gold panning, Jim tells the story of the early 1960s when the mines were on strike. He did extensive research about gold mines in BC, begin-ning with reading the BC Ministry of Mines Annual Reports which go back to

1874. These reports gave accurate statisti-cal information about every mine in BC. Jim has panned for gold in every BC creek mentioned in the book as well as some riv-ers in the Yukon and Alaska.

Jim knows the tricks of looking for fish oil in the water, checking the high banks and which direction to begin the search. There are other materials that can be found when panning for gold that are just as or more valuable than gold. Often people disre-gard those materials, questing only for the gold.

As well as using a gold pan, Jim has experience using a sluice box. Jim tells many interesting sto-ries about his adven-tures in the wilds of BC. Ask him about the bear bite he sports.

Jim will be talk-ing about his book, Gold Panning in British Columbia at the Clearwater Public Library on June 17 from 2 to 4. His book will be available for purchase for $20.

Encountering the wonder and beauty of nature in book form

WILLIAMS LAKE, British Columbia —Water glides over polished stones clear as a crystal. As birds hum in unison, it magnifies the beauty found in the nature.

Author Lloyd Antypowich experiences hunt-ing as a way for him to get lost in the beauty of nature. In his new book, “A Hunting We Did Go,” Antypowich recalls fond memories of awe, excitement and peril during his hunting trips.

Antypowich takes the reader on a journey to feel, hear, see and smell nature’s unparalleled splendor. Saddling his horse, he explores the mountains where wild animals reside in their natural habitat. He faced a grizzly bear, cougar and a moose. But, the wonder and excitement of nature surpassed all fear.

“When you are out in the mountains, on their turf, game will outwit you as often as not, and searching for the right animal is hard work,” Antypowich said. “But, the experience that you

gained from your efforts made you all the better for it.”

The memories made with friends and family will forever remain with Antypowich, as they sat around campfires reflecting on their hunting experiences.

ing, coal mining and road construction, Lloyd Antypowich, 77, retired in Horsefly, British Columbia, Canada. After he and his wife spent five summers at Quesnel Lake, Antypowich real-ized he had many stories to tell. “A Hunting We Did Go” is his first of six books.

The annual bike rodeo event on May 25 began with a Bike

Train coordinated by the District of Clearwater Healthy Living program. Bikers gathered at

Rotary Sports Park to form a train and then travelled down to Raft River Elementary School

with the assistance of the RCMP helping with traffic control. Approximately 50 stu-dents participated in the Bike Train

The Bike Rodeo, put on by the local RCMP members, Victim Services, and Raft River School saw a turnout of 129 elementary bikers.

In the morning all of the students at Raft River School par-ticipated in the Bike Rodeo. Some students had bikes and others walked the course that taught the children safety and rules of the roads.

Todd Phillips and Justin Morrison per-formed safety checks on the bikes and those who had safety issues were given a fix it list to take home to their parents.

Sponsorship for the event came from Rotary, Dairy Queen, Pharmasave, Leyco Logging, A & W/ Jim's Food Market, Interior Savings Credit Union, Royal Bank and Raft River Pac.

In some European, Asian and Caribbean countries if you feel you need an antibiotic, you can just go into a pharmacy and ask for it ... no prescription required. The drug may not be the right one for that infection or it may be a viral infection which is unresponsive to antibiotics. This can cause overuse and contribute to antibiotic resistance.

We mentioned in this column last year about a unique method of treating a potent bacterial infection caused by Clostridium difficile. This is an infectious diarrhea which can kill. The method is called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). It involves the introduction of donor stools into the rectum of the patient. It was successful in about 90 per cent of cases. Sounds kind of “icky” but it’s effective.

Protect your skin even if you are spending the day in the shade. Direct radiation from the sun is the most powerful but you can receive UV radiation from reflected rays from surfaces like sand, water, concrete or even grass. So use your sunscreen on a sunny day even if you are spending it in the shade.

Stress is all around us and we can choose how we react to it. If someone cuts us off in traffic, we can choose to smile tolerantly and let it go or get into a rage. Tolerance is a virtue. The opposite can be very damaging.

We will do our best to not cause you stress in our pharmacy. Try our brand of pharmacy service soon. If you are already a customer, we thank you.

The way to squeeze in a lot of activities into one weekend is to start it early, my sister Valerie from Quesnel and I discovered. By leaving Clearwater in the early hours of Wednesday, May 6, we arrived in time to watch her 16-year old granddaughter play softball in warm

evening sunshine. The drive south had been a colourful one filled with every shade of green, flowering trees and shrubs in yards and along roadsides, and sparkling blue water during the ferry ride. Nanaimo treated us to more perfect weather for the next few days as Wendy, my

niece-in-law, showed off their new location.

My nephew’s job involves a lot of travel, but we were there in time to have one day with him before he left. (He initially thought he was off to Chile but showed up on schedule in a town in Arkansas with the same name!) Blues sky

drew us to the shore of Departure Bay to clamber along the rocks, peer into crev-ices to find anemones closed up tightly with the tide out, spot tiny crabs scrambling for cover when they saw our shadows, look at battered barnacles and shells, and note innumerable types of seaweed. Other essen-tial ingredients for that day with my nephew included a picnic lunch at a water-side park, and fish and chips, then ice cream, for supper at Nanaimo’s downtown waterfront park.

The following day, as my nephew changed planes and my two great-nieces attended to lessons at school, Wendy and Valerie went shopping. I hap-pily escaped that by lunching with a friend from Courtenay, sit-ting outside the small cafe so her dog could be part of the party. Later, with my young-er great-niece and her buddy (both with the

same name) leading the way, we climbed the many steps to the top of Sugar Loaf. Here we tromped around the gently undulating rocky surface of this mossy-green, almost tree-less hill, finding tiny flowers at our feet and watching ferries come and go amongst the islands. The word “scenic” does not even begin to describe the 360° view.

Next, Wendy effi-ciently packed anoth-er picnic lunch and we set off for the beach

at nearby Parksville. Many other families had the same idea, but all found space since beach and park combined cover an extensive area. That sand will be trans-formed into a wild variety of fascinat-ing shapes during the sand-sculpting competition in mid-summer. We dined out towards the point where Heidi the dog splashed around in the salt water and sev-eral of us tried skip-ping rocks that were every shape except flat; soon the sun sank beyond us all, orange rays reflected on the calm water.

Saturday saw us on the ferry to Gabriola Island seeking a map to identify spots of interest. On our exploratory drive we missed its unsigned Petroglyph Park but our lunch-time wait-ress gave precise direc-tions to Malaspina Galleries. There we walked beneath a wave-shaped lime-stone arch before

strolling along the rocky shore looking for sea stars hiding in damp places. We left a few stones unturned for our next visit to that pretty island.

Sunday was both Mother’s Day and our last day so off we went to the Farmers’ Market at Cedar Point, sampling deli-cious home-made goodies! Later, we stopped at Nanaimo’s Petroglyph Park where indigenous shapes were carved into rocks over 1000 years ago. Red-trunked Arbutus trees, which grow everywhere along the coast, Calypso orchids and clematis, added colour.

For the final event and perfect ending, we joined several members of Wendy’s family, who had pre-ceded her in moving to Nanaimo, around a long table for a Chinese Buffet: par-ents, grandmother, great-aunt, siblings, and those two active great-nieces of mine.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Foundation (Foundation) was officially launched on May 20, 2015. A registered charity, the Foundation was created to support the sustain-able advancement and legacy of the Canadian beef industry through three main area of focus: youth, environ-ment and research.

The vision of the Foundation is to pro-vide a means for on-going donations and the investment of those

gifts can provide the resources to fund a pro-active, sustainable cattle industry that addresses industry issues while growing trust and sup-port from consumers worldwide.

The mission of the Foundation is to build an endowment that will provide funds into per-petuity for the growth and betterment of the industry.

The Foundation's three focus areas:

1. Facilitate and encourage stewardship practices and conserva-tion activities that pre-serve and or enhance the environment, bio-

diversity and wildlife habitat on working agricultural landscapes;

2. Create and/or support education, leadership development and outreach programs to serve youth involved with beef cattle;

3. Support beef industry sustainability through research and awareness.

The Foundation will be hosting a public launch on June 15, 2015 at the Canadian Cattlemen’s Foundation Golf Tournament to be held in conjunction with Canadian Beef Breeds Council, the CCA and Canada Beef at the Heather Glen Golf Course in Calgary, AB.

I know some folks think I am a bit of a ding-a-ling and on Wednesday June 10th I am going to be just that along with many members of the Church of St Paul congregation. We are gathering to ring in the 90th anniversary of the United Church of Canada by ringing our church bell 90 times.

The United Church was inau-gurated in Toronto, Ontario, when the Methodist Church, Canada, the Congregational Union of Canada, and 70 per cent of the Presbyterian Church of Canada entered into an organic union. Joining as well was the small General Council of Union Churches, centred largely in Western Canada. It was the first union of churches in the world to cross historical denominational lines and hence received inter-national acclaim. The United Church of Canada came into being on Wednesday, June 10, 1925. The inaugural service began at 10:30 a.m. at the Mutual Street Arena in Toronto. That is why 10:30 a.m. has been chosen as

the time, in every time zone, for United Churches across Canada to celebrate their presence in the community.

The members of the Church of St Paul (a shared ministry of Anglicans, Lutherans and Uniteds in Barriere) invite the res-

idents of the North Thompson Valley to join us for cake and coffee on Wednesday morning, June 10th at 10:30 am. We have a bell that sits in one of our front flower beds and although it no longer has

a clapper we are going to ring it 90 times using a wood mallet. Although our plans aren't firm we are hoping to auction off the opportunity to ring the bell (five rings each) with funds going to Nepal earthquake relief.

The bell originally came from an old steam engine and was donated to Clearwater United Church by Stan and Betty Johnston. When the Clearwater

congregation gave up their build-ing it was moved to Barriere for safekeeping. We are hoping that many of the Clearwater folks will come down for the celebra-tion. Barriere and Clearwater are the two points of the North Thompson Pastoral Charge.

Although the two congrega-tions are fairly small, Small doesn't mean we can't be part of the wonderful celebration!

In light of the earthquakes that have recently hit Nepal, we are holding a fundraiser. This fundraiser will benefit people who live in the Langtang Region of Nepal who’s homes (and vil-lages) have been completely destroyed. This region holds a special place in our hearts. Both event organizers have trekked into the remote villages of the Langtang region and were completely awestruck by the majestic beauty of the mountains and the kindness of the souls who live there. It truly feels like a ‘home away from home’ here. We are asking for donations to benefit the event. All money raised will go DIRECTLY to the families of the Langtang Valley. THE EVENT: An amicable “amazing-type” race for teams of 4 to get to the top of the ski hill while answering questions and maneuvering obstacles.

Plane downClearwater RCMP were advised of a small light

plane that crashed at the old airport on Road 2. No injuries sustained, emergency locater transmitter acti-vated. A large search plane located the downed plane. The yellow on white Cessna was located with signifi-cant damage.

Break and EntersClearwater RCMP responded to numerous reports

of break and enters this past week. Two laptop com-puters and a BMX bike were stolen.

In all reports the doors to the residents were left unlocked. The RCMP are reminding residents that locking your vehicles and houses will cut down on thefts. In Vavenby thieves have also been targeting solar lights.

Missing persons/query to locateClearwater RCMP want to remind the public

that if you are going into the back country, hiking, camping, motor-biking, etc. to make sure you advise somebody of your plans including your expected arrival back home. The RCMP receives numerous reports of missing persons/query to locate individu-als and knowing where to start looking could save valuable time.

Remind your teenagers and children to keep in contact with you, their parents and/or guardians, advising them of their locations or where they will be so that the police are not out looking for them.

Domestic assaultsThe Clearwater RCMP had recently arrested a

local male and a local female for reported domes-tic assaults that took place in two separate loca-tions. Both were released on a promise to appear in Kamloops Court and on an undertaking with no con-tact conditions. Alcohol was the contributing factor in both incidents.

Outstanding warrantsThe Clearwater RCMP located and arrested a

20 year old male in town that had two outstanding warrants for sexual assault and sexual interference out of Kamloops BC. The male does not reside in Clearwater though he was in town couch surfing at local residents in Clearwater. The male was released by a Judicial Justice of the Peace on a future court date in Kamloops. The male has currently left the Clearwater area.

Impaired DriverClearwater RCMP received a report of a possible

impaired with a female driver. The vehicle wasobserved driving on the wrong side of the road,

and eventually crashing into another vehicle in the Dairy Queen drive-thru. Police responded and locat-ed and arrested the female for impaired driving, based on the driving behavior, and slurred speech. No SFST / Breath tech / DRE was available. A 90 day immedi-ate roadside driving prohibition and a 30 day vehicle impound was issued along with a violation ticket.

Break and Enter High SchoolThe Clearwater RCMP were advised of a break

and enter at the Clearwater Secondary School. Substantial damage over $1,000 was reported along with many hours of cleaning and repairs required. The police have six local suspects that are being inves-tigated and are working along with CSS to bring those responsible to justice.

If you have any information on the break and enter / vandalism at CSS contact the Clearwater RCMP or Crime Stoppers and you can remain anonymous if requested.

GRADUATION PARTIES!The Clearwater RCMP want to remind the

Clearwater graduation class of 2015 to be responsible and pre-arrange designated drivers for their upcoming grad parties and festivities. The police will be out in full force targeting impaired drivers!

This week is all about give and take, Capricorn. Do for others, and they will do for you. A special event calls for some extra-special gifts.

Some habits are hard to break, Aquarius. Look to a mentor to help and you will succeed. A fitness goal is easily achieved with a new piece of equipment.

The odds may be stacked against you, Pisces, but that doesn’t mean you won’t come out on top with a little ingenuity. A weekend endeavor requires a leap of faith.

Speak up, Aries, and the problem will be solved. A little miracle at home makes for an interesting weekend. Travel plans come together.

Cast aside all doubt, Taurus. The offer is genuine and will bring you many rewards. A test of faith begins— be strong. Money woes ease.

Feeling blessed these days, Gemini? Pay it forward. A compromise at home raises everyone’s spirits and fun ensues all weekend long!

A business relationship blossoms with an addition. A larger-than- life personality drops by with an offer you can’t refuse. Oh boy, oh boy, Cancer.

Oops, Leo. You fall behind on a project, raising some eyebrows. Not to worry. You will get back on track sooner than you think, thanks to an innovation.

Spend less, save more and you’ll definitely get more, Virgo. More in your bottom line and more peace of mind. Flowers provide a great pick-me-up.

Lady Luck smiles on you, Libra, and there is nothing beyond your reach. A treasured heirloom resurfaces, bringing back many fond memories.

The tiniest of changes make a vast improvement in a project. A rejection is a blessing in disguise. Be grateful for what you’re given, Scorpio.

News from afar gets the creative juices flowing, and you accomplish more than you have in some time, Sagittarius. A game of wits at the office proves challenging.

June 4 - 11, 2015

Aries, you have plans to rest, but you might be surprised at how fast you become bored with nothing to keep you busy. Relaxation may be difficult for you to master.

A new perspec-tive can sometimes change everything, Cancer. Even if there are some bumps along the way, your optimism will ulti-mately prevail.

Libra, you may have a particular goal in mind for your rela-tionship that hasn’t come to fruition just yet. It may take a little more work for you to get to that solid place.

Capricorn, this week you are captivated by the innocent things in life. Enjoy this relaxing time to stop and smell the roses with your loved ones.

It’s alright to be a homebody for a few days this week, Aquarius. Revel in some quiet time at home and enjoy this chance to breathe easy and recharge your batteries.

Familiar memories resurface, Taurus. You may discover that nothing much has changed and you really need to buckle down to create new plans.

Leo, you will be on the receiving end of more support and encouragement this week than you possibly know what to do with. Express your gratitude to loved ones.

Others may struggle to decipher your thoughts, Scorpio. Sometimes you have to spell out what you need or want to get others on board with your ideas.

Give your dreams time to develop in the weeks ahead, Pisces. If you rush things along, you may end up getting discouraged.

A plan you laid out hits a snag this week, Gemini. Do not get discouraged, as your plans will only be delayed momentarily before things get back on track.

It’s easy to see the possibilities ahead this week, Virgo. Take a practical ap-proach when mak-ing plans and you will soon begin to achieve your goals.

Sagittarius, work appeals to you this week and you find yourself spending some extra time at the office. Just be sure to make time for your family.

A big “Thank-you” to the North Thompson

Community Foundation for approving Avola’s

Upstream Community and Heritage Society grant

application in April. Willy McLachlan, Bob Jensen

and Dave McLachlan helped put the finishing touches on Avola’s first ever town “Yard Sale”

signs to prepare for the June 6 and 7 event. “It has been a real com-munity effort from the

beginning,” the non-profit society’s secretary, Elea-nor Deckert, describes.

Karen Bruce had the idea back in November, “What if several families had a yard sale on the

same day?” Her husband fetched the materials and

got the project started by cutting the wood for the signs. The sandwich board signs will be used whenever the Upstream Community and Heritage

Society hosts events. “This first project funded with the NTCF grant is

bringing a huge sense of Community Spirit, team work and unleashing a flood of creative ideas,” noted Deckert. Since the Upstream Society’s first

AGM in November, 2014, both “community” and

“heritage” activities have begun to take shape.

PRINCE GEORGE - The Province is invest-ing $100,000 over the next five years to enhance wildlife con-servation throughout British Columbia. Parliamentary Secretary Mike Morris made the announce-ment during a recent Ducks Unlimited vol-unteer convention.

The funding is being provided to the Crown land secure-ment partner pro-gram, a partnership that includes Ducks Unlimited Canada, The Nature Trust of British Columbia, the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Wildlife Habitat Canada, the Canadian Wildlife Service and the Province of British Columbia.

Parliamentary Secretary Mike Morris said, "The Province recognizes the vital role wildlife manage-

ment areas play when it comes to conserv-ing and managing important habitat for regionally and interna-tionally significant fish and wildlife species."

The partners share a strong interest in conserving land for its fish and wildlife habi-tat values, and work together on acquir-ing private land and securing neighbouring Crown land for con-servation purposes.

A key focus of the partnership is to help the Province designate new – and expand existing – wildlife management areas. These are areas of land designated under the Wildlife Act for the benefit of region-ally to internation-ally significant fish and wildlife species or their habitats. Conservation and management of fish, wildlife and their hab-itats is the priority in a wildlife management area but other com-

patible land uses may be accommodated.

Over the past five years, the partnership program has helped create eight new wildlife management areas, and expanded several others, result-ing in the protection of almost 29,000 hect-

ares of prime wildlife habitat throughout B.C.

Nearby wild-life management areas include Cranberry Marsh near Valemount, plus Tranquille and Dewdrop-Rousseau Creek near Kamloops.

IN LOVING MEMORYPauline Mary, JOHNSON

November 8, 1930 - May 30, 2015

IN LOVING MEMORY Matthew Adrianus Vollans

October 13, 1978 - May 26, 2015Mom passed away peace-

fully in her sleep at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital, Clearwater, BC. Mary is survived by daughters Marlene Johnson, Joyce (Wayne) Wysoski; sons Randy (Gail) Coulter, Shawn (Grace) Coulter, Terry (Pae) Coulter; sister Doris Mancini; and long time friend Clara Ritcey. Mary is survived by 10 grandchildren, 12 great grand-children and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Mary was predeceased by her parents Jim and Edna Archibald, brother David Archibald, sister Ruby White and love of her life George Coulter and grandson baby boy Haden Lee Rempel.

Mary was raised and went to school in the Upper Clearwater. She lived for many years in Birch Island, had a short stint in Alberta, and spent the rest of her time in Clearwater.

Mary was involved in the Birch Island Women’s Institute for 64 years until it folded; Vavenby and District Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion; O.A.P.O; Friendly Club; Wells Gray Country Seniors’ Society; and the M&M Club. She was well known for her

crib playing and plastic canvas making. Mary will be sorrowfully missed by those who knew and loved her.

By request, there will be no formal service. A gathering to celebrate the life of Mary Johnson will take place on Sunday, June 7, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Hall at Evergreen Acres, Clearwater, BC. Services entrusted to North Thompson Funeral Services, Clearwater, BC, telephone 250-674-3030.

Matthew Adrianus Vollans, age 36, of Kamloops, B.C. (former resident of Vavenby), died sud-denly last Tuesday, May 26, 2015. He was a loving husband to Jill (nee Flegel); father of daughter Keziah (10) and son Seth (8). He’s son to Gord and Mary; brother to Tanya, Chris, Andrew and Carla; grandson to Marie Visser; as well as son-in-law to Rick and Trudy Flegel; brother-in-law to Kim Smith (nee Flegel). He leaves behind many other family mem-bers and a myriad of friends.

Matt loved life and was energetic, enthusiastic and a loyal and dear friend to many. He always made everyone he met feel valuable and loved, and was a true “Son of Encouragement”! He

loved family with all his heart, and one of his biggest joys was spending time with them all. He was sensitive, loving and kind, always striving to develop deep relation-ships with everyone he did life with.

Above all, he loved and lived his life to the glory of God. He challenged himself along with everyone else to do this to the fullest; his favorite verse being, “Be imita-tors of Christ.”

Matt worked as

an electrician and instrumentation tech in the oil, gas and for-est industry; he also was an integral part of the water purification system while he was employed with the City of Kamloops.

A service will be held June 5th at 1 p.m. (viewing @ 12 p.m.) at Summit Drive Baptist Church (1975 Summit Dr), Kamloops, B.C. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the New Life Mission, Kamloops.

The family would like to thank everyone for their genuine kind-ness and concern.

Matt’s life was a short and sweet one ... So well loved because he loved so well; always esteeming others as better than himself ... forever to be remembered, he will live on in our hearts and minds!

B.C. extends support for Crown land wildlife conservation program to 2019
