Stocking the lakeClearwater Trout Hatchery manager Mark Green unloads 1,500 rainbow trout and 5,000 kokanee into Dutch Lake on Monday. Watching are students from Clearwater Pre-School. Fishing in the lake has improved since the hatch-ery began stocking it, Green says. All money from fishing licenses now goes to B.C.'s hatcheries. Locally, that should mean more habitat improvements.

Vavenby Volunteer Fire Department (VVFD) held an open house on May 3 to celebrate its 45th year of operation and to recruit new members.
It was a beautiful day for the event and there was a good turn-out. Chairperson of the board Judy Tobin was hoping for more young people to attend and show an inter-est in joining. There were two who
are possibles. Four new members have joined this year: Brandon and Mari Claire Ruttan, Liam Rorison, and Darcy Werger.
There was a free lunch at the open house. Wendy Pisarczyk bar-bequed the hamburger patties and hot dogs and Charlotte Cederholm, the only remaining VVFD member from 1976, made all of the salads. The chocolate cake was made by Buy-Low Foods.
Grab bags were handed out to the chil-dren. The bags consisted of balloons, bubbles, whistles, rubiks cubes, maize puzzles, stickers, tattoos, bendy straws, colouring pictures drawn by Cederholm's daughter Kerri in 1998, ribbon blowers, and slinkies. The children had a won-derful time playing with each other and their toys
and eating cake.The adults had a trivia quiz to
fill out to see how much they knew about their fire hall. Answers were around the hall and people could always go to Cederholm to be point-ed in the right direction. Cederholm is the secrectary of the department and a volunteer member.
There was also a draw. Winners were:
1. Wayne Wilson won a mug2. Don Pickerell won a hold-all
bag3. Lorne Yoeger won a cup and4. Darcy Werger, Robyn Rexin,
Kathy Cederholm, Jessica Greene, and Stan Hlatky won camp chairs.
Volunteer member Jaimie Greene put on some demonstrations for the audience. She did them all with her full gear on. First she carried a load of fire hose up the hall stairs and then, when she got to the top, she pulled up 50 to 60 pounds more.
The second demonstration was the forcible entry exercise where she had to use a sledge hammer. This demonstration was simulating the use of an axe.
Next Greene carried a hose, put it on her shoulder, and aimed the water at the target.
Greene's last demonstration was pulling a 180-pound dummy to a pylon. Jaimie was tired and hot when done because it was a very warm day.

Dale Bass – Kamloops This Week
Since the 2001 school year, the Kamloops-Thompson school district has saved more than $1.1 mil-lion in energy con-sumption.
A report to trustees at Monday night’s meeting shows during the dozen years ending in the 2013-2014 school year, the big-gest savings came in propane consump-
tion (38 per cent) and electricity con-sumption (34 per cent).
In addition, reports facilities and transportation direc-tor Art McDonald said, there was a 24 per cent reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions, a 21 per cent decline in nat-ural-gas consump-tion, a 16 per cent reduction in diesel-fuel consumption and a 15 per cent decrease in water consumption.
There are many
reasons for the sav-ings.
For example, the district has upgraded its heat-ing, ventilation and air-conditions units, as well as the lights it uses. Staff are turning off lights in rooms not being used and, in the case of Clearwater secondary, a change from electric to pro-pane heat in 2004 accounted for seven per cent of the elec-
tricity savings.Water savings
come from replacing toilets, urinals and faucets with more efficient ones, water-ing the grass a bit less often and letting it grow a bit longer.
School closures also attributed to the savings — 14 per cent of electric-ity, 21 per cent of natural gas, 31 per cent of propane and 12 per cent of water reductions.

Help Nepal – and other Clearwater Rotary projectsKay Knox
Clearwater Rotary Club, in cooperation with Interior Savings, is making it possible for residents of this area to make a donation to help people stricken by the devastating earth-quake in Nepal.
For previous national disasters, funds col-lected here have provided ShelterBox kits which contain home supplies for up to ten people.
Because this particular earthquake was anticipated, 1,000 ShelterBoxes were “on the ground” and are already in use. This means that donations for them might not be matched by the Canadian government.
If that is the case (and our local Rotary Club is being kept informed), all money col-lected through Interior Savings will be sent to the Red Cross, where is it known it will be doubled.
Donations must be received by the Credit Union no later than closing time on Friday, May 22. The tellers will record your mailing address so you can receive a taxable donation receipt for your 2015 Income Tax.
May Day Parade will have a western themeWe hope you are already planning your
float, figuring out ways to outfit your dog, cow, horse, decorate your bike, wheelbar-
row, car, trailer, low-bed or wagon, and are rounding up your costume, boots and Stetson!
Registration will begin at Capostinsky Park, 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 16. Judging will follow. Parade will move out at 11 a.m., going down past the Post Office, onto Swanson Road to end at Raft River School.
All participants will be given a ticket that entitles them to a hot dog or burger and a drink, available behind the school, once the parade is over.
District of Clearwater (DOC) and Thompson North Regional District (TNRD) are funding these snacks.
Rotary Golf Tournament will be at Lacarya on June 13
Generous businesses and merchants are already donating prizes and cash for this popular event. Mark your calendar and watch for details to follow.
As always, the members of Clearwater Rotary Club wish to thank all who support our fund-raising efforts and who participate in our fun events.
Speaking of thanks, several Rotary men have been making benches that are being placed in various locations around town including at Rotary Sports Park, Riverview Cemetery, and now in progress, along the new trail behind the hospital.

Not all enamoured by India's prime minister
Your editor likes to think of himself as having a scientific frame of mind and not giving a lot of weight to those who base their actions on dreams and por-tents.
Nevertheless, a dream I had quite a few years ago has had a profound influence on my life.
Recently, I announced that I plan to cycle 450 km from Toronto to Ottawa to promote a petition calling for a Canada-wide referendum on carbon fee-and-dividend.
Before that your editor, in 1987 and in 1989, walked from Clearwater to Toronto, a distance of about 4,000 km.
The walk was to have been a round-the-world pilgrim-age to India and back to honor Mahatma Gandhi.
Unfortunately, a minor but persistent foot injury (plantar fas-ciitis) forced me to turn back.
This is all unusual behavior and perhaps demands an explanation.
It all goes back to a dream I had it while I was living in a small log cabin on the Flats in Clearwater.
It was night and I was on the Blue Bridge in the fog. The bridge looked different, but at first I couldn’t say how.
Then I realized it wasn't a road-bridge anymore. Instead, it was a narrow, suspension foot-bridge.
Steel from the trusses that used to form the bridge had instead been used to make towers on either bank that held up the sus-pension bridge's cables.
The bridge was still colored blue, however.
A man walked towards me from the south out of the fog. As he came closer I could see that it was Mahatma Gandhi.
We exchanged a few words, then he said, “Please follow me.”
He led me back through the fields towards my cabin.
As we got closer I saw that there was a small campfire in a clearing near a large tree.
We walked towards it and sev-eral figures who had been gathered around the fire got up and greeted Gandhi. I realized that one was Jesus, another Mohammed, a third Confucius…. They were the great religious leaders of human history. Including Gandhi there were eight of them.
Most seemed to be men but one was a beautiful black woman. She was obviously pregnant.
Behind them was a large wicki-up – an oval shelter made of bent saplings and covered with branches and bark. It appeared that they planned to stay the night.
The skies cleared and, look-ing to the south directly above the wickiup, I could see an enormous arc stretching like a ribbon from east to west across the sky.
It came to me that this would what the rings of Saturn would look like if a person was on the surface of that planet.
As I looked at the arc these words came to me: “And we shall build a New Jerusalem.”
And then I woke up.I came away from the dream
with the profound conviction that Gaia, the life on Earth, is pregnant with a new form of life, one with the potential to expand to the stars.
That means we have a two-fold task. The first is to do what we can to encourage the speedy and safe delivery of the child. The second is protect and preserve the mother.
Nothing else is nearly as impor-tant.

Editor, The Times: One of the most sickening
aspects of Narendra Modi's recent visit to Canada was the fawning obsequiousness of Canada's media.
A match made in heaven — Harper plus Modi.
Worse was the reaction of the vulture capitalists. Oh boy, India is 'opening up' its econo-my. Let's rush in and loot and pillage while we can. Yahoo!
Well, it turns out that not all are enamoured by Modi the “rock star.”
First of all there are the Sikhs who have the temerity to point out that Modi was com-plicit in the deadly 2002 Hindu-Muslims riots in Gujarat where he was chief minister. They
want Modi charged with geno-cide.
Also Modi is influenced by (or uses?) the ultranationalist RSS volunteer corps, which is waging a virtual war of conversion against Christians, Muslims and Sikhs. This alone could tear India apart.
But there's more. In the last two to three years over 100,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide because of atrocious loan conditions. In India you can buy a Mercedes at six per cent interest. A farm tractor is 18 per cent interest.
Tens of thousands of angry farmers have protested in New Delhi over the Modi govern-ment's changing the rules brought in 2013 to protect
landowners from land-grabbing and forced relocation. Spooks the vulture capitalists (Oh! I mean investors), so strike the rules down – open up the economy, etc.
As to the investment vul-tures, when (rather than if) they make a total mess of things in India, as they did in post-communist Russia and other places, they will simply flap their wings and fly off to feed on some other privatized open-the-economy carcass.
And our brave new world corporate media will keep us well informed, you can be sure.
Not.Dennis PeacockClearwater, B.C.
Editor, The Times:I was wondering about the circus that is the
trial of Sen. Mike Duffy in Ottawa.The federal government is cutting back fund-
ing for programs for the public.Just think what a battery of lawyers will cost
from the minute they leave home for the next few weeks.
Lawyers’ fees will consume millions of dollars that should be going to hard-working taxpayers.
I have a solution. Initiate a mass recall cam-paign, fire the whole lot and start over.
Marshall GarddeckiKamloops, B.C.
Duffy trial a waste of moneyThe Greens are really blue, not pinkEditor, The Times:
People think that the Greens are a left wing party but this is a mistake. The Greens' economic policy is more ethically ‘True Blue’ than Mr. Harper's.
If you are a staunch conservative who is
dismayed with what Mr. Harper has done to conservative values and the Progressive Conservative party, then you really owe it to yourself to take a good, hard look at the Green economic policy.
Ms. May believes
in the power of the market and is more the true successor to the mantle of John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark than Mr. Harper ever was.

Editor, The Times:My name is Ian
Eakins and I had the privilege to live in Nepal for 11 years from 1977-88 and I guided mountain and river trips there until 1993. It is a place that is close to my heart and I believe that everyone that goes to Nepal comes back with an appreciation of what a special place it is and how wonderful the people are.
Now Nepal needs our help. As you know, a large earthquake struck the country on April 25 at mid-day. The devastation has been extensive but the good news for Kathmandu is that because of its acces-sibility and the fact that it is the seat of the political power, the bulk of international aid will be concentrat-ed there. The real need is in the middle hills and high mountain valleys.
The middle hills of Nepal are beautiful and are populated with extremely hard work-ing people. It is not
a wealthy place and life is tough. Villages near the epicenter had over 80 per cent of the homes destroyed and many people died.
One of my favourite places in Nepal was Langtang, a small mountain village at 11,300 ft. that was sur-rounded by magnifi-cent peaks. I first went there in 1977 and I had such a great time that I returned many times over the years. I made good friends there and the people were kind, generous, and fun. Langtang was com-pletely wiped off the face of the earth with a massive avalanche/landslide that came down from Langtang Lirung Mountain (23,000 ft) and totally buried Langtang and three other small vil-lages in the area. The people, the houses, the fields, the school, the animals and everything else was buried under tons of ice, snow, mud and rock. There is nothing left.
These small vil-lages will not make the news, they will not receive the aid. They
are too remote and too insignificant for the powers that be in Kathmandu. These villages are not made up of well-connected people. They are made up of hard working, industrious and loyal tribal people.
I have done a lot of research on the best way to get food and supplies to the villag-ers. You can go with the big charities like the Red Cross, Save the Children or Oxfam, and all are good chari-ties. There are three small charities how-ever, that already have people on the ground that have lived, or are living, in Nepal whose main goal is getting aid into the more remote middle hills and moun-tain regions on the country.
1) We Help Nepal www.wehelpnepal.org is run by people I know well and they are distributing food, shel-ter, supplies and water purification equipment.
2) The Nepal Karma Fund www.gofundme.com/nepal-karmafund, was estab-lished by families from
the Langtang Valley. All of the money will go to get Langtang back on its feet again. Their focus is to first look after the survi-vors, rebuild the homes in the villages that were not wiped out, and then get the trekking industry running again so there is work and income in the valley.
3) The Friends of Langtang – www.lang-tangvalleyhealth.org is an Australian-based organization. They had an excellent health clinic with two nurses and a small school up and running in Langtang Village. They have lost everything, including some of their staff, but they are not giving up and are going to rebuild.
Go to these sites and take a look. You will receive tax receipts from the big chari-ties, you may not from these small grass roots ones. If we could all put $20 or more into one of these organiza-tions and then pass this idea on to oth-ers – we may be able to make a difference for the people of the
mountains in Nepal.Thanks for read-
ing. If you have any questions about any of these organizations, please call me at 250-587-6444.Ian Eakins, Tay Briggs

Editor's Note: Before and after photos of Langtang village can be seen at www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-27/nepal-earthquake-before-after-photos/6424570. Be warned – they are pretty grim.
Alice Vaisnis (with Richard): It's kind of hard to tell. Calgary's still in there and I like the Flames, but Mon-treal has quite a few points.
Fred Ameril:No, because Gary Bettman has already decided that Canada cannot win again.
Omar Shihadeh: No, because lately all the Canadian teams have not been play-ing to their potential. There are a lot of Canadian players on the American teams.
Esu Haile:I think so. The Ca-nadian teams are known to play good hockey and are ca-pable of winning the Stanley Cup.
Brook Barr (Lincoln City, Oregon, born in Ontario):No, I know who I'd like to win but they probably will not ... the Rangers. I think the Blackhawks might win.

Not all enamoured by India's prime minister
Your editor likes to think of himself as having a scientific frame of mind and not giving a lot of weight to those who base their actions on dreams and por-tents.
Nevertheless, a dream I had quite a few years ago has had a profound influence on my life.
Recently, I announced that I plan to cycle 450 km from Toronto to Ottawa to promote a petition calling for a Canada-wide referendum on carbon fee-and-dividend.
Before that your editor, in 1987 and in 1989, walked from Clearwater to Toronto, a distance of about 4,000 km.
The walk was to have been a round-the-world pilgrim-age to India and back to honor Mahatma Gandhi.
Unfortunately, a minor but persistent foot injury (plantar fas-ciitis) forced me to turn back.
This is all unusual behavior and perhaps demands an explanation.
It all goes back to a dream I had it while I was living in a small log cabin on the Flats in Clearwater.
It was night and I was on the Blue Bridge in the fog. The bridge looked different, but at first I couldn’t say how.
Then I realized it wasn't a road-bridge anymore. Instead, it was a narrow, suspension foot-bridge.
Steel from the trusses that used to form the bridge had instead been used to make towers on either bank that held up the sus-pension bridge's cables.
The bridge was still colored blue, however.
A man walked towards me from the south out of the fog. As he came closer I could see that it was Mahatma Gandhi.
We exchanged a few words, then he said, “Please follow me.”
He led me back through the fields towards my cabin.
As we got closer I saw that there was a small campfire in a clearing near a large tree.
We walked towards it and sev-eral figures who had been gathered around the fire got up and greeted Gandhi. I realized that one was Jesus, another Mohammed, a third Confucius…. They were the great religious leaders of human history. Including Gandhi there were eight of them.
Most seemed to be men but one was a beautiful black woman. She was obviously pregnant.
Behind them was a large wicki-up – an oval shelter made of bent saplings and covered with branches and bark. It appeared that they planned to stay the night.
The skies cleared and, look-ing to the south directly above the wickiup, I could see an enormous arc stretching like a ribbon from east to west across the sky.
It came to me that this would what the rings of Saturn would look like if a person was on the surface of that planet.
As I looked at the arc these words came to me: “And we shall build a New Jerusalem.”
And then I woke up.I came away from the dream
with the profound conviction that Gaia, the life on Earth, is pregnant with a new form of life, one with the potential to expand to the stars.
That means we have a two-fold task. The first is to do what we can to encourage the speedy and safe delivery of the child. The second is protect and preserve the mother.
Nothing else is nearly as impor-tant.

Editor, The Times: One of the most sickening
aspects of Narendra Modi's recent visit to Canada was the fawning obsequiousness of Canada's media.
A match made in heaven — Harper plus Modi.
Worse was the reaction of the vulture capitalists. Oh boy, India is 'opening up' its econo-my. Let's rush in and loot and pillage while we can. Yahoo!
Well, it turns out that not all are enamoured by Modi the “rock star.”
First of all there are the Sikhs who have the temerity to point out that Modi was com-plicit in the deadly 2002 Hindu-Muslims riots in Gujarat where he was chief minister. They
want Modi charged with geno-cide.
Also Modi is influenced by (or uses?) the ultranationalist RSS volunteer corps, which is waging a virtual war of conversion against Christians, Muslims and Sikhs. This alone could tear India apart.
But there's more. In the last two to three years over 100,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide because of atrocious loan conditions. In India you can buy a Mercedes at six per cent interest. A farm tractor is 18 per cent interest.
Tens of thousands of angry farmers have protested in New Delhi over the Modi govern-ment's changing the rules brought in 2013 to protect
landowners from land-grabbing and forced relocation. Spooks the vulture capitalists (Oh! I mean investors), so strike the rules down – open up the economy, etc.
As to the investment vul-tures, when (rather than if) they make a total mess of things in India, as they did in post-communist Russia and other places, they will simply flap their wings and fly off to feed on some other privatized open-the-economy carcass.
And our brave new world corporate media will keep us well informed, you can be sure.

Editor, The Times:I was wondering about the circus that is the
trial of Sen. Mike Duffy in Ottawa.The federal government is cutting back fund-
ing for programs for the public.Just think what a battery of lawyers will cost
from the minute they leave home for the next few weeks.
Lawyers’ fees will consume millions of dollars that should be going to hard-working taxpayers.
I have a solution. Initiate a mass recall cam-paign, fire the whole lot and start over.
Marshall GarddeckiKamloops, B.C.
Duffy trial a waste of moneyThe Greens are really blue, not pinkEditor, The Times:
People think that the Greens are a left wing party but this is a mistake. The Greens' economic policy is more ethically ‘True Blue’ than Mr. Harper's.
If you are a staunch conservative who is
dismayed with what Mr. Harper has done to conservative values and the Progressive Conservative party, then you really owe it to yourself to take a good, hard look at the Green economic policy.
Ms. May believes
in the power of the market and is more the true successor to the mantle of John Diefenbaker, Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark than Mr. Harper ever was.

When you visit your doctor about a problem (like pain), be a good reporter. Plan how you will give your doctor information. The better reporter you are, the better the chance your doctor can help. If it is pain, use descriptive words like “stabbing, sharp, dull, or achy.” It is sometimes helpful to write down your comments so you don’t miss anything and it saves time as well.
Pharmacists put a “shake well” label on some liquid prescriptions. It’s important to heed that label. Some liquids are suspensions and the medication may settle to the bottom of the bottle. Shaking will distribute the medication evenly and ensure you receive the right dose. Children’s liquid antibiotics are a good example.
“More is better” is something that doesn’t always apply to drugs. Drugs often reach a peak level of effectiveness at a certain dose and taking more will often not give better results. But side effects can occur at higher doses. Follow your doctor’s orders regarding how much medication to take.
Protect your teeth by keeping certain foods to a minimum. Even soft drinks and sports drinks contain acids that can corrode tooth enamel. Dried fruit can stick to teeth surfaces. Some contain extra sugar, too. Even yummy potato chips get into tooth crevices and stay. It’s hard to avoid some of these foods and drinks but brushing soon after eating them will avoid tooth decay and other problems.

Editor, The Times:My name is Ian
Eakins and I had the privilege to live in Nepal for 11 years from 1977-88 and I guided mountain and river trips there until 1993. It is a place that is close to my heart and I believe that everyone that goes to Nepal comes back with an appreciation of what a special place it is and how wonderful the people are.
Now Nepal needs our help. As you know, a large earthquake struck the country on April 25 at mid-day. The devastation has been extensive but the good news for Kathmandu is that because of its acces-sibility and the fact that it is the seat of the political power, the bulk of international aid will be concentrat-ed there. The real need is in the middle hills and high mountain valleys.
The middle hills of Nepal are beautiful and are populated with extremely hard work-ing people. It is not
a wealthy place and life is tough. Villages near the epicenter had over 80 per cent of the homes destroyed and many people died.
One of my favourite places in Nepal was Langtang, a small mountain village at 11,300 ft. that was sur-rounded by magnifi-cent peaks. I first went there in 1977 and I had such a great time that I returned many times over the years. I made good friends there and the people were kind, generous, and fun. Langtang was com-pletely wiped off the face of the earth with a massive avalanche/landslide that came down from Langtang Lirung Mountain (23,000 ft) and totally buried Langtang and three other small vil-lages in the area. The people, the houses, the fields, the school, the animals and everything else was buried under tons of ice, snow, mud and rock. There is nothing left.
These small vil-lages will not make the news, they will not receive the aid. They
are too remote and too insignificant for the powers that be in Kathmandu. These villages are not made up of well-connected people. They are made up of hard working, industrious and loyal tribal people.
I have done a lot of research on the best way to get food and supplies to the villag-ers. You can go with the big charities like the Red Cross, Save the Children or Oxfam, and all are good chari-ties. There are three small charities how-ever, that already have people on the ground that have lived, or are living, in Nepal whose main goal is getting aid into the more remote middle hills and moun-tain regions on the country.
1) We Help Nepal www.wehelpnepal.org is run by people I know well and they are distributing food, shel-ter, supplies and water purification equipment.
2) The Nepal Karma Fund www.gofundme.com/nepal-karmafund, was estab-lished by families from
the Langtang Valley. All of the money will go to get Langtang back on its feet again. Their focus is to first look after the survi-vors, rebuild the homes in the villages that were not wiped out, and then get the trekking industry running again so there is work and income in the valley.
3) The Friends of Langtang – www.lang-tangvalleyhealth.org is an Australian-based organization. They had an excellent health clinic with two nurses and a small school up and running in Langtang Village. They have lost everything, including some of their staff, but they are not giving up and are going to rebuild.
Go to these sites and take a look. You will receive tax receipts from the big chari-ties, you may not from these small grass roots ones. If we could all put $20 or more into one of these organiza-tions and then pass this idea on to oth-ers – we may be able to make a difference for the people of the
mountains in Nepal.Thanks for read-
ing. If you have any questions about any of these organizations, please call me at 250-587-6444.Ian Eakins, Tay Briggs
and familyWells Gray Adventures

Editor's Note: Before and after photos of Langtang village can be seen at www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-27/nepal-earthquake-before-after-photos/6424570. Be warned – they are pretty grim.
Alice Vaisnis (with Richard): It's kind of hard to tell. Calgary's still in there and I like the Flames, but Mon-treal has quite a few points.
Fred Ameril:No, because Gary Bettman has already decided that Canada cannot win again.
Omar Shihadeh: No, because lately all the Canadian teams have not been play-ing to their potential. There are a lot of Canadian players on the American teams.
Esu Haile:I think so. The Ca-nadian teams are known to play good hockey and are ca-pable of winning the Stanley Cup.
Brook Barr (Lincoln City, Oregon, born in Ontario):No, I know who I'd like to win but they probably will not ... the Rangers. I think the Blackhawks might win.

A 57-year-old Clearwater man drowned while fishing in Adams Lake early Saturday morning. His body was recov-ered Sunday morning. As of press-time the man's name had not been released.
The man reportedly was fishing with his 22-year-old nephew near Refuge Bay in a 12-foot aluminum boat when the wind blew up and the boat capsized.
The nephew was able to swim approxi-mately 100 m to shore but the man did not. Neither were wearing lifejackets.
Shuswap Search and Rescue did a shore search and a water surface search Saturday after-noon, while RCMP
Underway Recovery Team searched the lake bottom Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
50 YEARS AGO:The School District
26 (North Thompson) board accepted a bid of $55,000 to build Star Lake School, but the contractor later withdrew the bid. The school board also accepted a bid of $20,000 build a teacher-age for the school.
45 YEARS AGO:Jean Nelson of Blue
River was chosen "Mrs. Chatelaine" by the Canada-wide magazine.
Servicing the school area and the Flats with water was expected to cost $233,000, CID trustees were told. Victoria was insisting that the dam be con-structed to provide for a dry year, but it was thought the extra cost could be reduced by diverting creeks.
40 YEARS AGO:The federal govern-
ment was considering establishing a minimum security prison in the Clearwater area, M.P. Len Marchand told an informal meeting at the library. He offered funding suggestions to the Vavenby Recreation Commission, which had plans to build an $82,000 A-frame build-ing with a full skating rink and curling facili-ties.
Tracy Holland won a contest to design a lapel button for Clearwater's 50th anniversary.

30 YEARS AGO:Fire completely
destroyed the home of Bob and Robyn Rexin in the Greer Subdivision of Clearwater. Only a few members of the Signal Butte Fire Department were able to respond, due to busy phone lines and several being away working.
Approximately 2,600 people paid admission to attend a Home, Leisure and Industry Show at the Sportsplex, organized by Clearwater Recreation Association and Raft River Riders.
Blue River Legion was a hive of activity as folks gathered for a farewell supper for Janie Lamont, Fred and Katie Vlutters and Nina Ward. Lamont received an hon-orary lifetime member-ship in the Lioness Club.

raised more than $7,000 in a walk-athon to benefit an extended care facil-
ity in Clearwater. Oldest taking part was 81-year-old Elsie Goss.
May Queen pag-eant organizers Kathy Downey and Phyllis Bucknell canceled the pageant after three meetings and no inter-ested candidates com-ing forward.
20 YEARS AGO:A 14-year-old girl
was taken to ambulance with suspected alcohol poisoning, plus drugs, alcohol and a switch-blade were seized, and seven 24-hour suspen-sions laid when RCMP set up a roadblock at the entrance to "the Farm," a popular site for bush parties near Clearwater. Sgt. Rex Henry said, "We will be taking a strict enforce-ment approach in that area."
Funds should be available for certified substitute teachers to travel to Blue River, PAC representative Valerie Wolf recom-mended to School District 26 trustees.
15 YEARS AGO:An intensive moni-
toring program being conducted in a creek
that Clearwater draws some of its water from should make sure that logging and road con-struction have minimal negative impacts, said forester Wes Bieber.
10 YEARS AGO:Jack Braaksma was
elected chairman of the CID for a three-year term. Other elections included Max Tanner and Carol Robertson to the board.
Money continued to fill up the coffers of organizations in the valley – $50,000 was donated to YCS by Interior Savings Credit Union, and $10,000 was donated by the banking institution for the North Thompson Economic Development Strategy in Barriere.
A CN train derail-ment near Avola started a small fire that was put out by a helicopter and water bomber. Later in the month, five more small fires broke out, including two in the hills south of Little Fort and one at the local library.

VANCOUVER – Mother’s Day is around the corner and while scammers may love their mom’s too, they’ll think nothing of scam-ming you and your mom out of your cash.
“Mother’s Day is one of the biggest spending times of the year after Christmas,” say Evan Kelly, senior communications advi-sor for BBB serving Mainland BC. “Flower shopping online is fast and convenient, but not without its risks. While the vast majority of people are thrilled with their purchases, oth-ers have learned these transactions can lead to profound disappoint-ment.”
As with any special time of the year, BBB warns of potential scams when shopping for Mom:
Flowers:• Start with trust.
Check out the compa-ny with BBB at www.
mbc.bbb.org to see what other consumers’ experiences have been.
• Allow time for shipping. Check with the retailer to make sure that you have allowed enough time for delivery by your specified date. Make sure that this date is specified clearly and guaranteed when you order.
• Ask around. Recommendations from friends are always a good bet.
• Search for loca-tion. Does the online flower shop have a brick and mortar store to contact if there is a problem?
E-Cards:• Don’t open any
e-cards that don’t have your children’s name in them.
• E-cards with generic “From your kids!!” could be fake.
• Opening non-specific e-cards can subject your computer to malware.
• Call your kids to see if they did in fact send an e-card.
• Look for spell-ing mistakes like ‘Congratulation!’ or if names are spelled wrong.
• Any doubts, just delete it.
Gift Card Scams:• Don’t purchase
gift cards from pop-ups in social media.
• Go to the website of, or the store where you wish to purchase the gift card.
• Make sure the code on the back has not been revealed.
• If buying online, makes sure your anti-virus programs are up to date.
• Point of purchase website should begin with https://
• They should have no expiration date.

“Trades foundation programs give students
the opportunity to take their first step on a path to trades certifica-tion,” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “This fund-ing will bring more stu-dents into trades pro-grams, allowing them to enter the workforce and apply their specialized training in one of the in-demand sectors.”
TRU’s support is part of a $6.1-million initiative to fund 1,429 additional critical trade seats this year in 14
public post-secondary institutions throughout the province and sup-ports B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.
Foundation train-ing programs provide students with the basic knowledge and skills needed for entry into a particular occupation. Students receive credit for the first level of apprenticeship training in a specific field by the Industry Training Authority (ITA) upon successful completion.
B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint outlines how the provincial govern-ment is re-engineering the education system – from kindergarten through to post-secondary training and beyond – to make sure education and training aligns with B.C. jobs.
B.C. expects one million job openings by 2022. More than 78 per cent of jobs will require some form of post-secondary educa-tion.

Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District held a public hearing for a zoning amendment bylaw and a manu-factured-home park bylaw during a board meeting on April 30.
The update to the manufactured-home bylaw is primarily for the purposes of: 1)
definitions/provision concordance;2) better providing for bare-land strata
subdivision of MHPs; and3) advisable clarifications based upon
recent litigation.The term of the manufactured-home
park preliminary layout approval (PLA) is extended from six months to a year; viola-tions could be enforced via ticketing and
adjudication; strata subdivision is explic-itly enabled; and definitions for manufac-tured homes, RVs, campgrounds, etc. are identical across all overlapping bylaws.
Following the hearing, the TNRD board of directors passed the bylaws.
Bylaw for commercial composting facilitiesProposed Bylaw 2516, 2015, through
zoning, lawfully allows the TNRD to regulate bio-solid processing and com-posting.
The board reviewed proposed Bylaw 2516 and provided direction to staff to initiate the required zoning and official community plan amendments, including a broad consultation initiative with First Nations.

“Did you know our proposed expansion follows the existing route for most of the way?”
- Carey Johannesson, Project Lead, Land & Right-of-Way, Trans Mountain Expansion Project.
For more information, go to TransMountain.com/planning-the-routeEmail: [email protected] · Phone: 1-866-514-6700
Committed to safety since 1953.
OF THE ROUTE IS ON THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY.73%
(or 98km) WILL REQUIRE NEW ROUTING.10%
WILL FOLLOW OTHER LINEAR INFRASTRUCTURES, SUCH AS HYDRO, TELUS, RAILWAYS AND HIGHWAYS.
17%
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.

Dale Bass – Kamloops This Week
Thanks to a couple of donations, the Cook it, Try It, Like It! (CITILI) program in Interior elementary schools is expanding. Simone Jennings, a nutrition-ist with the Interior Health Authority, said a $4,000 grant from NutritionLink Services Society, part of the VanCity Community Foundation, is going toward adding five rural schools to the program, which pro-vides one after-school session a week for five weeks as it exposes children to food.
The Real Canadian Superstore in Kamloops also donat-ed almost $1,200 worth of kitchen sup-plies that will be used to create kits used in the program.
CITILI started in 2014 to teach chil-dren in grades 4 to 7 about nutrition, food safety, knife skills, where food comes from, how to grow it and how to cook it. At the end of the pro-gram, children tour a grocery store.
While the program has been offered in Kamloops, the VanCity grant is expanding to Logan Lake, Barriere, Chase, Heffley Creek and
Blue River in a pilot project to gauge inter-est in those towns.
At some schools, it will also be offered to children in kindergar-ten to grade 3.
Among the lessons they learn, for exam-ple, is the amount of sugar in popular drinks – and then they’re shown how to make a smoothie with ingredients from fruits and spinach.
Next comes the taste test and the dis-covery not everything needs to be loaded with sugars.
Another lesson sees kids peeling and chopping vegetables, adding some oils and spices and roasting them.
Jennings said research shows if a child is involved in growing and prepar-ing a food, the child is more likely to try it.
“If you can get kids touching and tasting and chopping vegetables, the more likely they’ll eat them –and that can help with childhood obe-sity,” Jennings said.
The project is a partnership between the IHA community nutrition program, School District 73 and the City of Kamloops, which provides a chef to oversee the cooking.
The Superstore donation earlier this year was used to
build the kitchen kits, including everything
from blenders to paring knifes to tea
towels to dishes and cutlery.

Finally golfing season is in full swing. The first Ladies Night was on April 23 and it was well attended with 16 players on the course and all stayed for dinner at the course restaurant. The evening was very cold and windy and some had to have a hot drink in the clubhouse to warm up.
The winners for the first week for Flight #1 were: Carol Hindle – long drive, long putt, long drive in twp and low gross; Debbie Pearce got low net (well, there were only the two of them). For Flight #2: Madeline Klassen- low gross, Anna Mae Dee - low net, Madeline - long drive, Marg Anderson - long putt and long drive in two. For Flight #3: Stephanie Turner – low gross and long putt (it was a doozie), Daisy Hystad – low net, Abbey Bates – long drive, and Reita Vandenborre – long drive in two.
No one was able to get on the green in one for KP. Madeline had the longest putt for all and also the least number of putts (only 11, WOW!). Abbey and Eileen Sedgwick tied for the most putts (I’ll never tell how many). Madeline, Korinne Isbister and Reita all got new balls to replace the ones they put into the pond on #4. There were no winners for the Deuce and Birdie pots.
Eleven take part in second sessionOn the April 30 Ladies Night there were
11 players. Winners were: Flight #1 – as Lois Vandamme was the only player in this flight she got long drive, long putt and long drive in two and low gross. Flight #2: Jan Johnston – low gross, long drive, and long putt, Madeline Klassen – low net and KP, Marg Anderson – long drive in two. Flight #3: Korinne – low gross, Daisy Hystad – low net, Reita Vandenborre – KP, Sheila Colter – long putt and Stephanie Turner – long drive in two.
Marg A. was closest to the windmill, Lois V had the least putts and Isabell Hadford had the most. Korinne I. won the deuce pot with a birdie on #5. Lois, Stephanie and Isabell all put balls in the pond on #4.
Thank you to all our sponsors for the 2015 season. For the first two weeks the sponsors were Pharmasave, O’Bryans Café, The Caboose, Buy-Low, MacLennan Farm, Home Hardware, Wells Gray Inn, Raft River Greenhouse, The Painted Turtle, Hop’N’Hog Tap and Smokehouse, and Fleetwest.
Don’t forget that Ladies Night is every Thursday. Please give Linda a call at 587-6100 to book your tee time.

As paddlers, it’s perhaps easier than many other recreational boat-ers to head out on the water once the ice has receded. Just strap it to your vehicle’s roof rack and away you go. To ensure that this outing isn’t spoiled by an emergency on the water, it’s important that we take a few extra precautions before heading out.
A good start is to invite a fellow paddler to come along with their canoe or kayak. That way, you have someone available to help if needed.
Reload all your safety equipment on the boat, to make sure every-thing is in proper working order.
The weather can change quickly in early spring. Always check the (marine) forecast to be alerted of incoming weather. Realistically assess your paddling skills against potential weather.
The water is still very cold. Either wear or bring along thermal protective clothing that can be lay-
ered. A wetsuit or paddling drysuit would be best.
A key piece of safety equipment is a marine radio or, where service is reliable, a cellphone to call. At this time of year, there are fewer boats on the water to spot you and help. Cellphones should be kept in a watertight container to avoid potential water damage. Before departing, tell a reliable person where you are going, when you expect to return and the number to call should you not return as sched-uled.
Wear your lifejacket. With the number of styles available today, some specifically designed for pad-dlers, there really is no reason not to wear one. It might just save your life.
Finally, make sure you have practiced and are skilled enough to quickly re-board your boat both assisted and unassisted in the case you capsize or fall into the water.
For more safe boating tips, visit www.csbc.ca.
Early spring paddling — make sure both you and your boat are prepared

As paddlers, it’s perhaps easier than many other recreational boat-ers to head out on the water once the ice has receded. Just strap it to your vehicle’s roof rack and away you go. To ensure that this outing isn’t spoiled by an emergency on the water, it’s important that we take a few extra precautions before heading out.
A good start is to invite a fellow paddler to come along with their canoe or kayak. That way, you have someone available to help if needed.
Reload all your safety equipment on the boat, to make sure every-thing is in proper working order.
The weather can change quickly in early spring. Always check the (marine) forecast to be alerted of incoming weather. Realistically assess your paddling skills against potential weather.
The water is still very cold. Either wear or bring along thermal protective clothing that can be lay-
ered. A wetsuit or paddling drysuit would be best.
A key piece of safety equipment is a marine radio or, where service is reliable, a cellphone to call. At this time of year, there are fewer boats on the water to spot you and help. Cellphones should be kept in a watertight container to avoid potential water damage. Before departing, tell a reliable person where you are going, when you expect to return and the number to call should you not return as sched-uled.
Wear your lifejacket. With the number of styles available today, some specifically designed for pad-dlers, there really is no reason not to wear one. It might just save your life.
Finally, make sure you have practiced and are skilled enough to quickly re-board your boat both assisted and unassisted in the case you capsize or fall into the water.
For more safe boating tips, visit www.csbc.ca.
Early spring paddling — make sure both you and your boat are prepared

Fire season beginsOn April 19, a campfire
escaped its confines and burned a grassy field area on a rural prop-erty in East Blackpool.
Clearwater and Blackpool fire departments responded to the call as requested by Forestry due to the proximity of the grass fire to the forest.
There were no injuries, and the fire crews were able to contain and eventually put out the fire after some hard work.
This early season fire should remind everyone that fires can happen quickly and easily from the smallest of campfires, and even discarded cigarettes.
All fires require safety precautions to be taken to prevent this kind of event. A simple campfire requires a hand-tool and eight litres of water on hand in the event the fire tries to spread. A fine of $345 can be issued for not following fire safety laws.
Break and enterOn April 28, a residence in Little Fort was broken into during the
day while the owner was away. A laptop was stolen.The investigation is ongoing. Police request that anyone who saw
someone or something that didn’t quite seem right in the area that day please to contact Clearwater RCMP.
Vehicle fireOn April 29, Clearwater RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle
on fire on the side of Highway 5 in Blackpool.Traffic on the highway was minimally affected while fire crews sub-
dued the fire.The driver was able to escape the vehicle uninjured, but the vehicle
was severely damaged.It was not known what caused the fire, which occurred while the
vehicle was been driven.

Fire season beginsOn April 19, a campfire
escaped its confines and burned a grassy field area on a rural prop-erty in East Blackpool.
Clearwater and Blackpool fire departments responded to the call as requested by Forestry due to the proximity of the grass fire to the forest.
There were no injuries, and the fire crews were able to contain and eventually put out the fire after some hard work.
This early season fire should remind everyone that fires can happen quickly and easily from the smallest of campfires, and even discarded cigarettes.
All fires require safety precautions to be taken to prevent this kind of event. A simple campfire requires a hand-tool and eight litres of water on hand in the event the fire tries to spread. A fine of $345 can be issued for not following fire safety laws.
Break and enterOn April 28, a residence in Little Fort was broken into during the
day while the owner was away. A laptop was stolen.The investigation is ongoing. Police request that anyone who saw
someone or something that didn’t quite seem right in the area that day please to contact Clearwater RCMP.
Vehicle fireOn April 29, Clearwater RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle
on fire on the side of Highway 5 in Blackpool.Traffic on the highway was minimally affected while fire crews sub-
dued the fire.The driver was able to escape the vehicle uninjured, but the vehicle
was severely damaged.It was not known what caused the fire, which occurred while the
vehicle was been driven.

Lacarya golf course official-ly opened March 27, according to owners Heinz and Linda Fitz. This was the second earliest date open as noted by former owners Joe and Teri Pelton, with the earliest being March 23.
Mens night kicked off Wednesday, April 15 with a good turnout and great golf with almost all who participat-ed winning some money prize.
The men held their annual general meeting on April 22
and assignment of officers was completed. Club captain for second year is Larry Colborne, secretary treasurer Lorne Wright, and president Jon Kreke.
Ladies waited a bit longer to start Thursdays ladies night, looking for a little warmer weather. April 23 was the first Ladies night with a good turnout, lots of fun and prizes. The cool day did not dampen their spirits.
Both mens and ladies night members extend a welcome to old and new golfers alike
to join either men's club on Wednesdays or ladies club on Thursdays for some good golfing on an ever improving course, loads of fun and great prizes.
Check out the punch card offer. Buy any 2 RD, 5 RD, 10 RD (nine or 18 holes) and get one free round on each card.
Memberships are available as well — its still early with lots of year left for many more games.
The restaurant is officially open Wednesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Phillipino event coming upAt the beginning of June,
Vienna Moilliet will be flying home from the Phillipines, where she has been training to be a midwife and mission-ary.
She has set aside a date for a fundraiser/get together on June 13 at 6:30 p.m. It is called a merienda evening and will be held at Vavenby Christian Church. A video about the clinic, a slideshow, and Moilliet's ramblings and stories will start the evening off.
Following this will be the merienda. A merienda is similar to the English tea time and always consists of some form of food, usually sweet. Moilliet is planning on making two Filipino dishes that are often served for merienda and she is asking people to bring goodies and finger foods.
Everyone will be welcome. If you are going to bring something to eat, let Vienna know by phoning 250-676-9574.
Shepherd going to ScotlandRachel Des Cotes,
a young graduate from Lakeland College in Vermillion, Alberta, who took her dog Zeke to vol-
unteer at the Aveley Ranch for the summer of 2014 to gain experience in working with sheep, will be flying to Scotland on June 2 to work on a farm. That was her dream.
After leaving Aveley Ranch in 2014 she went home to St. Albert, Alberta, to look for employment to earn the money to fly Zeke and herself to Scotland.
Des Cotes returned to Vavenby to work at the Canfor mill. She has been staying at the Jones Creek cabin. Now that she has earned enough money to make her dream possible she will fly to Quebec to visit family and friends. Then it will be back home in Vermillion for a couple of weeks to organize and final-ize trip details.
Des Cotes has enjoyed her time in Vavenby. She says she is going to miss the people at the mill and definitely the Moilliet family.
Lambing at Aveley Ranch is finished. The sheep have been put in the far field so there are no more self-guided tours or hay rides. The ranch is now on the lookout for coyotes.

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.
May 7 - 13, 2015
You are a mystery lately, Aries. No one is quite sure what you will do next and you may like to surprise. But share your plans every so often with those closest to you.
Cancer, if you are thinking about a ca-reer move, it’s about time you put your plans in motion. This week you may find you are full of energy and ready for a new challenge.
Libra, it is up to you to initiate action in a situation that leaves you somewhat uncomfortable this week. Don’t hesitate to step up and take charge.
Capricorn, although you cannot control all of the changes in your life, you do have firm control over your personal health. Don’t put off revamping your diet and exercise plan.
Aquarius, close friends will keep you pretty busy over the next few days, but you can handle it. Let off steam with a few different fun activities when time allows.
Taurus, surround yourself with positive people who maintain optimistic outlooks. Many opportunities will open up if you keep a positive attitude.
Leo, a renewed sense of enthusiasm has you eager to get started on future plans. Perhaps a new course of study will suffice and pave the way for new experi-ences.
A difference of opinion may be highlighted at work this week when you are confronted by a coworker, Scorpio. Act with integrity, but be firm with your resolve.
Use caution when making decisions this week, Pisces. You can be prone to impulsive behavior, and you don’t want to find yourself in trouble.
Gemini, you may re-sist social activities this week at first, but soon you will get swept up in the fun and lose your inhibitions. Use social activities as a way to network.
A chance encoun-ter with an old flame stirs up feelings you didn’t realize you still had, Virgo. Even if these feelings are less dramatic, you’re still tempted to act on them.
Sagittarius, others may try to stop you from having fun, but you are determined to enjoy yourself. Your entire week is focused on having a good time with friends and family.

Interior Savings elects Epp as chair
KELOWNA, BC – Elmer Epp of Kamloops was re-elected as chair of the board of directors of Interior Savings Credit Union after its annual general meeting held April 28. Epp is an associ-ate at the law firm of Cates Ford Oien Epp in Kamloops. He now begins his 14th year as chair of the Interior Savings board.
At the annual general meeting, which was held in Kelowna, Interior Savings members heard about the credit union’s 2014 financial results, recent accomplishments and plans for the upcoming year.
“Interior Savings faced many challenges in 2014,” Epp began. “Interest rates remained low and competitive pressure remained high. Despite these challenges, the credit union achieved posi-tive results overall; finishing with nearly $2.1 billion in assets and maintaining a strong capital position.
“In 2014, members earned $2.8 million through the Member Rewards program and 174 members qualified for a $1,000 bursary through the Credit Union’s Million Dollar Bursary pro-gram.”
Epp also noted it was a year to reflect back on the credit union’s roots and to celebrate 75 years of service to the community.
“Founded on Sept. 20, 1939 with 20 members and $100 in deposits, Interior Savings has grown to over 71,000 members and nearly $2.1 billion in assets,” he said.
At the agm, results of the recent board of directors election were delivered to the member-ship. In the Central/North Okanagan Region, nominees Stacey Fenwick and Pat Ryan were elected, each for three year terms. In the Thompson/South Okanagan Region, incumbents Jeff Holm and Shelley Sanders were re-elected, each for three year terms. A special resolution to amend the credit union rules was also approved.
About Interior SavingsInterior Savings Credit Union is the larg-
est credit union based in the Interior of B.C. with assets nearing $2.1 billion. Through its 21 branches, 15 insurance offices, member service centre, and two commercial services centres, the credit union offers personal and commer-cial banking and a full range of insurance and wealth management services to members in 14 communities, including Clearwater.
