District of Clearwater town council, in a special meeting held on Tuesday morning, approved spending up to $90,000 to begin repaving Candle Creek and Barber roads.

Despite being held during the day and at short notice, about 20 members of the public attended.

In his comments, Mayor John Harwood said that, while he appreciated the local residents who brought the matter to council's attention, he did not appreciate those who reportedly had physically touched members of staff while discussing the controversy.

Chief administrative officer Leslie Groulx said that she had been approached by members of the public about two weeks

earlier who asked her why Candle Creek Road had not been included in the repaving recently completed by Ministry of Transport in Clearwater.

Final decisions on which roads were repaved was made by the Ministry, she said. However, a list of suggested roads put together by the District did not include Candle Creek.

The feeling at the time appears to have been that it would be better to convert the roads back to gravel.

However, after consulting with other authorities, Groulx found that the consensus was that repaving would be a better option.

Considering the volume of traffic, if converted back to gravel, the road would need to be graded every three or four weeks (except in winter), plus be

treated with calcium two to four times per year.

Staff therefore recommended that the District complete hot mix asphalt overlay repairs to the two roads. The work would be done

by Borrow Enterprises as part of its road maintenance agreement.

A report from staff noted that Candle Creek Road had been repaved several years ago.

Unfortunately, there was no base under the overlay and the road is deteriorating to the point there is a safety concern.

Both Candle Creek and Barber road are heavily used, particularly with the existing cross-country ski trails and mountain bike trails being developed in the area.

The overlay would be a three to five year fix, so the District would need to continue adding overlay each year until a stron-

ger road results.

Drainage problems that are causing the road weakness also need to be addressed.

Last November town council authorized spending up to $200,000 from the road capital reserves as part of the overlay program by highways department.

About $95,000 of those funds still remain and could be used for the proposed project.

Chuck Emery, who lives at the end of Candle Creek Road, noted that the road originally had been corduroy, built of alder logs. He still finds occasionally the big spikes used to hold the logs together, he said.

The special meeting was the first council meeting to be held in the new district hall, which is located in the former Dutch Lake School.

Ken Kjenstad suggested the District's delegation also meet with Telus during the UBCM convention.

School bus registration process for September Submitted

In order to simplify the school bus registration process the School District 73 Transportation Department will be using Transportation Registration Cards. School bus registration cards will be mailed out after August 18, 2014.

Students who were registered on the buses for the 2013-2014 school year will receive registration cards in the mail.

All new students who are registered with the district before July 31, 2014 and are eligible for transportation in accordance with School District No. 73 Policy 1118.1 “Transportation of Students” will also receive a registration card.

Students who as a result of advancing a grade become eligible for transportation will also receive a registration card.

SD 73 says the registration cards indicate the school of attendance, bus number, bus stop and times for both the AM pickup and PM drop off.

It is expected that all students will take their assigned bus at the designated time. The times indicated on the registration cards are subject to change based on ridership.

The registration cards are to be given to the driver on the first day of transportation in order to be registered on the bus.

If a student has not received a registration card, that student should ask the bus driver for a registration form. This form must be filled out and returned to the driver.

Current Bus riders please read your registration card carefully as your bus number, or pick up time may have changed from the previous year.

Workshop participants learn about volcanoes Keith McNeill “By Sunday you're going to be a vulcanologist too.”

That was the promise of Dr. Cathie Hickson as she began a 2 1/2 day workshop on the volcanoes of Wells Gray Park Friday evening.

About three dozen people, most of them local but a few visitors as well, came to listen to her presentation.

Hickson's talk on Friday evening was followed by two field trips into the park on Saturday and Sunday.

Wells Gray Park and area have about 200 “young” volcanoes and similar features, she said.

“By young, I mean less than 2 million years old,” she added. “That might not seem young to us, but when you consider that the Earth is 4 1/2 billion years old, it's like a nanosecond.”

Just why the Wells Gray Volcanic Belt has so many volcanoes is not entirely clear.

It might have something to do with the fact that the crust is 40 – 60 km deep under the Rockies, but only 20 – 30 km deep further west. This creates stress and big, very deep faults.

Whatever the cause, volcanoes have been erupting here for millions of years.

They take an amazing variety of shapes,

but they all have basically the same chemistry.

“What we have here is basalt, basalt, and more basalt,” Hickson said.

Many of the volcanoes erupted when what is now the park was under two kilometers of ice and looked a lot like the Greenland icecap.

The best analogy today would be Iceland, where volcanoes erupt under glaciers even today.

At least 11 sub-glacial volcanoes have been identified in and near the park, including Pyramid Mountain, 52 Ridge, Hyalo Ridge, and the Three Gorges area.

The Three Gorges area, which is drained by First, Second and Third Canyon creeks, was formed 300,000 years ago when a glacier filled most of the Clearwater River Valley.

Lava running down from the side of mountain reacted explosively with the cold ice, creating large amounts of unconsolidated material in what is now called Sheep Track Bench.

What is now Murtle River began as a meltwater channel running under a glacier.

When Pyramid Mountain erupted, the channel was diverted southwards into a parallel track.

Cougar Creek, which flows between

Helmcken Falls and the viewpoint, is what remains of the original meltwater channel.

About 500,000 years ago, lava formed a dam across the valley near Spahats Creek, creating a large lake.

Whitehorse Bluff formed when a volcano erupted under the lake.

During the field trips over the next two days, Hickson said she would take participants to all 11 of the geo-pile waypoints in her booklet, Wells Gray Rocks.

The waypoints and the booklet contain clues in one of two treasure hunts being held in Wells Gray Park this summer.

Clues for the second treasure hunt are in the booklet Treasure Wells Gray, written by Trevor Goward.

First prize for both treasure hunts is an original painting of a bald eagle by wildlife artist Robert Bateman.

Other prizes are paintings of scenes in Wells Gray Park by local artist Doris Laner.

Winners will have the choice of taking a cash award instead of a painting.

Star Gazing Festival coming up on Aug. 7 Times Staff Wells Gray Country services committee will host the eighth Star Gazing Festival at the Trophy Mountain Buffalo Ranch (20 km up the road to Wells Gray Park from the Infocenter) on Thursday, Aug. 7.

Gates will open at 7:30, with the presentation to begin at 8:30.

Admission will be by donation.

Once again, Bill Burnyeat, a resident of Vancouver with a lifelong passion for the stars, will do a presentation on various fea-

tures of our night sky.

Burnyeat was raised and educated in the Lower Mainland of B.C. He was a daily newspaper reporter in the early 1980s but changed hats to become the community astronomer at the HR MacMillan Space Centre.

For more than 20 years, he has visited schools, communities, and clubs all over British Columbia to put on astronomy presentations. He also has taught night school and continuing education for school districts in Vancouver,

Burnaby, and West Vancouver. Burnyeat also taught a telescope-making course at the University of British Columbia.

Since 2001, Bill has been the resident astronomer at British Columbia Institute of Technology, where he operates the 75-seat planetarium star theatre.

Each summer, Bill leads a community astronomy tour of the province, during which a large telescope is trucked around provincial parks, enabling visitors to get a chance to see the stars in pris-

tine outdoor conditions.

Viewing of the stars and planets will follow Burnyeat's presentation.

Other activities will include a children’s craft table and a concession. People are advised to bring a chair or blanket to sit on. No dogs will be allowed. Lots of parking will be available.

Last year’s event was a success, with approximately 170 people in attendance – a nice mix of local residents and tourists and the highest number of participants yet.

Weather cools down forest fire situation Keith McNeill The situation in Clearwater Fire Zone has quietened down considerably following recent heavy rains, according to forest protection technician Vaughn McCaig.

The campfire ban in the fire zone, which includes Wells Gray Park, was lifted on Wednesday, July 23.

However, the campfire ban remains in place for the remainder of the Kamloops Fire Center, which stretch-

es south to the U.S. border.

As of Monday two fires within the fire zone were in the patrol stage, said McCaig.

Number K10235, located in the North Blue River drainage, was 60+ hectares.

Number K10197, on Pyramid Mountain north of Blue River, was about 24 hectares.

Two district staff, Clint Fenton and Mark Taylor, were back in Clearwater after being assigned elsewhere.

McCaig noted that the recent heavy rainfall had been accompanied by heavy lightning. Staff will monitor the situ-

ation to see if any of the strikes begin to send up smoke after several days of warmer and drier weather.

Opinion

“ I want to explain my mistakes. This means I do only the things I completely understand.” - Warren Buffett, investor guest editorial tom Fletcher

In defence of younger drivers’ road record

Why jeopardize tourism jobs?

Editor, The Times:

tourism generated over seven times as many jobs as forestry in 2012. Tourism jobs have a record of being more dependable, too. During the '08-'09 recession, forestry lost 43 per cent of its jobs but tourism employment dropped less than two per cent. Some people are realizing the potential of tourism because, last year, there was a four per cent increase in the number of tourism facilities, here, in the North Thompson. All of this increase took place in businesses having from one to four employees.

Canfor's plan for logging the Clearwater Valley does not bring with it the promise of long-term, sustainable jobs. The Vavenby mill processes about 8,000 truckloads of wood per year. The 2,800 truckloads from the Clearwater Valley would sustain this voracious mill for just four months, not even long enough for someone to qualify for pogey.

If Clearwater wants to label itself as “the Gateway to Wells Gray” and to maintain, or expand, its tourism sector then it might begin by safeguarding that valuable gateway, the Clearwater Valley. My bet is that foreign visitors won't be willing to spend their hard-earned currency to see a “gateway” that has been trashed by logging when what they really wanted was wilderness. The Clearwater Valley should be off BC Press Council bounds to industrial The Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body logging. governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Measured by most any yardstick, Canfor's plan to log in the Clearwater Valley is huge. According to the cutting plan that was given to the committee in the Clearwater Valley, nearly seven square kilometers will be clearcut and roughly 2,800 truckloads of logs removed. Several of the cut-blocks will exceed one square kilometre. All of them have prominent creeks flowing through them. Even Clearwater's mascot volcano, Buck Hill, is destined to get a haircut.

The environmental impacts have been exposed but the threat is that the environment will be trumped by the “jobs” argument.

When the jobs argument surfaces, comparisons between extraction jobs and the question of tourism jobs versus forestry jobs usually comes along for the ride. We've heard it all before. The myths are spun and the cases argued on the basis of incomplete information, at best. But, what isn't admitted is the possibility for tourism to be negatively impacted and for tourism jobs to take a real hit, unless careful choices are made. Such is the case with Canfor's plan to log the Clearwater Valley.

Tourism may not be getting a fair shake when it comes to discussing job creation. Provincially,

NORTH THOMPSON

www.clearwatertimes.com Established September 23, 1964 Member, BC Press Council

David Simms Clearwater, B.C.

VICTORIA – A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers.

Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world.

There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner) and “N” (for novice) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process.

Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against.

First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013.

The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years.

More practice and another $35 are required to try again.

Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade.

ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent.

In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent.

Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol.

Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers

in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012.

There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient.

A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers.

One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats.

Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuanaimpaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster.

B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits.

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents.

Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last year

by Attorney General Suzanne Anton.

“Research is conclusive that at higher speeds, more people are killed and injured in the traffic system,” it states. “At lower speeds, fewer are killed and injured as a direct result of the safety buffer that lowered speeds create.”

The strategy notes that new technologies such as adaptive cruise control are becoming available. B.C. is also testing electronic highway speed limit signs that change with weather and traffic conditions.

Next comes self-driving vehicle systems, so drivers will be able to check their phones again.

Question of the Week

?

Do you think the teachers and the province will settle in time for school to start in September?

Keith Pope:

No, I don't think the government will give them what they want and what they deserve. They shouldn't settle for less.

Marci Piercey (Haida Gwai):

No, I don't think they will because I don't think the teachers will settle for less than what they deserve.

Marshall McRae: No, because the teachers don't have any bargaining power until the schools go back.

Melanie Savage Nellie Krombach (with Brooke and (with Myles): I would hope so. I Ryan): Probably not. I was just talking with some of the teachers and it sounds like they're just going to battle it out.

hope they can come to a fair agreement and be there for the kids. Our kids need an education.

Sensitivity needed for Clearwater River watershed Editor, The Times:

It has been difficult for me, living in Montreal this summer, to read the recent comments and articles in the Times regarding the issues around logging in the Clearwater watershed knowing I am not able to attend any of the many functions centred in and around Wells Gray Park.

I have read about two polarised activities, tourism and logging, both sides stating credible excuses to be the exclusive users of the land.

My visit recently to Parc Jean-Drapeau here in Montreal gave me pause to think about the value of nature. As I exited the noisy metro that had whisked me

under the St Lawrence River and popped me up on the island of Saint Helen where Expo 67 was held I was immediately excited to see trees. Yes, trees and lots of them. I almost wept with the joy of nature in abundance.

Although Montreal is a city with many parks and trees there is a sense of artificiality about nature. It is organized and allowed by people. On the streets trees pop up through the cement with a distinctly unnatural sense.

As I walked into Parc JeanDrapeau I noticed in this park I could walk on soft earth as I enjoyed the cooler evening air and the flowers and the trees with natural under-brush.

Families were picnicking on the grassy areas, some playing ball or Frisbee, others napping backs against trees.

I saw a fat marmot grazing and for a moment I realized how starved for nature just seven weeks in the city had left me.

Walking across the bridge to the man- made island of Ilse NotreDame I read the signage explaining how the various water levels affect the banks of the St Lawrence.

There was a series of magnificent photographs showing the trickling woodland streams where the mighty St Lawrence had its beginning.

Referral Group questions letter from Canfor Editor, The Times

There is growing community concern over plans by Canfor to initiate industrial-scale logging in the Upper Clearwater Valley – the gateway to Wells Gray Park.

We, the Upper Clearwater Referral Group, are writing in response to a letter by Peter Baird, general manager of forest planning for the Canfor Forest Management Group, which appeared in The Times on 17 July 2014.

Mr. Baird wrote to assure our community that Canfor is “... working through the Upper Clearwater Referral Group to design our harvesting activities in a way that is respectful of the Guiding Principles ...”

While we agree that this would be a good idea, we as yet have seen little evidence of such engagement. Nor indeed is it the purpose of the Upper Clearwater Referral Group to negotiate on behalf of local residents. Our function is rather to gather and disseminate information.

Immediately I thought of the joy of hiking in the forest beauty around Clearwater. I wondered how many of the thousands of other people crammed into this park with me, had ever been in a true wilderness setting.

Looking around and noticing the trash left behind after a day of use I again felt the heaviness of human habitation.

True wilderness is so precious.

Whatever is happening in and to the Clearwater watershed it must be undertaken with great thought, care and sensitivity.

It is in the wilderness that mighty rivers have their beginning. It is in the natural parts of the world that human beings truly thrive.

YEARS AGO: Forest fires abounded, including one north of Barriere, a brush fire near Birch Island, and another in the Valemount watershed at Swift Creek. Deemed ‘out of control’, the Barriere fire had “very suspicious” circumstances and had a ranking of six out of six. Both local crews and Ontario crews worked on the 170 ha blaze. The Birch

Island fire was quickly brought under control, thanks to the Clearwater Fire Department and residents.

YEARS AGO: As temperatures soared into mid-30s, Clearwater residents tried to find various ways to keep cool.

Demand was up on air conditioners and fans, with delivery trucks being followed by hopeful customers who bought the items before they could hit the floor.

YEARS AGO:

After lagging behind the more southerly portions of the Interior for the first part of the summer, fire activity in Clearwater Fire Zone heated up considerably. Two larger fires were consuming most of the attention at the zone headquarters. The Pleasant Creek fire was estimated at 425 hectares in size and was being fought by 70 firefighters, four helicopters and four pieces of equipment. The other major fire was at Momich Lake, which is located east of Adams Lake.

A floatplane crashed on Azure Lake in Wells Gray Park July 27, reportedly while attempting to land. The 59-year-old pilot and

his 58-year-old female passenger received minor injuries. The airplane remained on the bottom of the lake.

Mass murderer David Ennis withdraws parole application Kathy Michaels - Kelowna Capital News Mass murderer David Ennis (formerly Shearing) withdrew his application for day parole last week.

Tammy Arishenkoff, a representative of the Johnson and Bentley families that lost six of their own to Ennis in 1982, sent out an announcement about the hearing, Thursday.

"Ennis has waived his right to a full parole review and also withdrawn his application for day parole," she wrote.

"At minimum, we will not have to revisit this until 2016 and hopefully longer with pending new legislative changes to the

existing parole system."

Arishenkoff's relief came at the tail-end of another exhaustive effort to keep Ennis blocked from getting release.

Drumming up public support while dredging up painful memories amounted to a significant community outpouring.

They collected a total of 15,258 signatures — 4,791 on paper and 10,467 online — for a petition to keep Ennis behind bars. A letter writing drive was also successful, but Arishenkoff isn't sure of how many the parole board would have received.

She also doesn't know why Ennis chose to pull his application at this stage.

"Maybe our numbers and news cover-

them as well, loaded all the bodies into age made him realize he doesn't have a one of the family's vehicles and torched it chance," she said. in a secluded area of the park.

Clearwater RCMP are seeking assistance from the public in finding the story behind a small car recently found in the North Thompson River downstream from the Mad River junction.

“When I first heard of it, my first thought was of Vern Boettger,” said Sgt. Kevin Podbisky, detachment NCO-in-charge, referring to a Vavenby man who went missing last year.

Unfortunately, the car appears to have been in the river for at least 40 years and so is not related to Boettger's disappearance.

It also is not related to the disappearance of May Millings, a woman from Gibsons who went missing from near Mad River in September, 2010.

Tracks and other evidence indicated that Millings' vehicle went into the river just a few hundred meters upstream from where the car was recently discovered.

spotted a tire sticking up and reported it, Podbisky said.

When police investigated, they found that the river had gone down enough to reveal the entire car.

The car appears to have been in the river for many years, the sergeant said. Even the gearbox was full of sand.

Police have not yet confirmed the car's make or model.

However, it obviously was quite small.

The stretch of the river has been thoroughly searched several times over the past few years, first for Millings and then for Boettger.

Podbisky speculated that the car must have been buried under the sand for many years, then exposed and possibly moved during this spring's freshet.

The sandbar where the car was found is located around the first bend from the Mad River junction and is not visible from the highway.

“Obviously, at some point it belonged to somebody,” Podbisky said.

“We'd like to know if any of the old-timers remember anything.”

No human remains were found with the car.

Missing woman returns home safe Times Staff Clearwater RCMP report that Wells Gray Search and Rescue was activated recently to search for a missing Blue River woman.

However, the woman returned to her residence safely and the search was called off.

According to police, the initial report

that the woman was missing was received on Wednesday morning, July 23.

She had not been seen since 11 p.m. the night before.

Wells Gray Search and Rescue plus RCMP helicopter were to begin searching early Friday morning but the woman turned up before the search got underway.

Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over.

Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help soon.

Bendopnea comes from the root word “apnea” meaning shortness of breath.

Swimmer’s ear is an infection in the outer ear canal caused by water remaining in the ear after swimming or bathing. It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a homemade ear drop of equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection.

known as TAM, inquired of the federal government if it was interested in establishing a weather station on Aveley Ranch.

Since then, people on the ranch have recorded the high, low, and present temperature each day, plus the amount of rainfall and snowfall. The government provides the necessary equipment.

The Vavenby site is part of a national group of stations from coast to coast, mostly voluntary.

These stations provide information twice a day. The observations go into the climate archive database of Environment Canada.

The temperature and precipitation data are used to calculate monthly averages and extremes for each site.

The data from the Aveley Ranch is available for the public and various organizations.

The observations from the ranch may eventually be enhanced by Environment Canada’s Meteorological Service. This site is a high priority long term reference climate site. The enhancements would include additional instrumentation to measure wind, precipitation, relative humidity, barometric pressure, and snow depth.

The real-time data would be transmitted to Environment Canada on an hourly basis, 365 days a year.

This kind of upgrade would support the daily weather forecast production for the area.

Lohnes’ job includes checking on all automated stations, upper air stations (balloons), lightening stations, and climate stations in his area.

He is responsible for the ongoing operation, maintenance, installation, and

upgrading. Data from these stations is used by Environment Canada to do forecasts.

Vavenby woman hopes to achieve dream Vienna Moilliet, age 22, is getting a wish come true. She has wanted to be a midwife and a missionary for a long time.

When she was 14 or 15 a friend told Moilliet about the Newlife International School of Midwifery (NISM) in the Philippines.

She came across a DVD about the school and watched it. She also looked it up on the computer.

Moilliet instantly fell in love with the school because it taught both fields that she wanted to do.

She first applied to NISM in 2013. The school encouraged her to get more course work done. She did and she went to Spain to do some missionary work. Moilliet applied again and was accepted. Along with her high school and college grades she had to include her spiritual testimony, references, and a letter from the church leaders.

She will leave home on Aug. 13 for Calgary where she will

visit grandparents.

From there she will fly to Toronto and then to the Philippines.

She will travel with another Canadian student to the school.

They switch planes in Manila and then go on to Davao City. They expect to arrive on Aug. 19.

Orientation will take place in Davao.

That is also the main school/clinic site.

There is a smaller training center in Tabuk. After her orientation in Davao, Moilliet will go to Tabuk with one other freshman. They do not know each other yet.

NISM is an American-based school that trains women to get a degree in midwifery and also trains the students to use it in a missionary site. It is a very small school, having only 13 freshmen, mostly women from the U.S. The students are trained by Filipino midwives. The training clinic in Davao is called Abundant Grace of God Maternity Center and the name of the clinic where women deliver their babies is called Mercy Maternity. The course is 2 ½ years long. The month of August, 2015, will

be the students’ first break. If money permits Moilliet will come home to visit.

The cost of the course, books, and travel is approximately $30,000. Moilliet has paid for everything herself by saving the money she earned from various jobs.

Vavenby Christian Church helped her with a scholarship.

Room and board is free. Students are given rooms on the floor above the clinic. The school told Moilliet to bring cool and modest clothing.

She is taking her laptop for school use and to keep in touch with her family.

Vienna is following in her grandmother, Alice Moilliet’s, footsteps. Alice was a nurse and people in the area came to her for medical assistance. She delivered a lot of babies. There was no Clearwater hospital at the time.

Her grandmother has become Vienna’s inspiration.

Watch for cougar An old cougar has been seen around town. It was also seen chasing Shooks’ cows.

Children's Art Festival coming next Wednesday Heather Adamson With the Clearwater Children's Art Festival just around the corner, it is a wonderful time to learn about what motivated coordinator Elizabeth Shook to develop this event in our community.

After attending the Kamloops Children's Art Festival with her own children four years ago, Elizabeth came away feeling inspired to create a locally based experience for the children and families of Clearwater. Although enjoyable, what she felt was missing about her experience in Kamloops was that her children had no connection to the artists.

"I wanted my children to feel connected to the local artistic community.

I wanted them to see the artists in the grocery store and think to themselves, 'Hey, I know that person.' They know how to felt wool, and I felted wool with them, we are connected ... maybe I could be an artist like them when I get older."

This vision has remained true over

the past three years of coordinating the festival, with a focus not only on the children who attend, but on the artists themselves.

"My goal was not only to provide a fun filled day doing art," Elizabeth explains, "it was also to build connections and relationships with the artists in my community."

As a fine arts graduate and local elementary school teacher, Elizabeth is passionate about blending her love of art with her love of children. She is known for the art experiences she provides for her students, and has chosen to voluntarily coordinate the Clearwater Children's Art Festival during her summers for the benefit of children and families in our community.

This year's festival will feature eight local artists facilitating workshops for children of all ages: Joanne Wright (wool felting), Irene Gouchie (wax resists), Joanna Weber (jewelry creations), Sue Dubois (tissue paper flowers), Eleanor Deckert (drama), Nicole Rushton (rock painting), Robin Walker

(acrylic painting), and Doris Scarff (painted fabric bookmarks).

Face painting and musical instrument making will be provided by local youth Emily Giesbrecht, Annie Whelen and Robin Fraser. The performance tent will highlight live interactive music performed by Lloyd Bishop, Sam Willan and her daughter Stefanie.

The feature artist of this year's festival is Helen Knight; there will be a selection of her paintings on display and she will be on hand to meet families and answer questions about her art.

A slip and slide water-play party will end off the day from 2-3 p.m. The event is free to the entire community with a few concession items available for purchase.

The Clearwater Children's Art Festival will be on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on the field of the new Dutch Lake Community Centre. Come enjoy this wonderful opportunity to meet local artists and experience creating art with your children.

Avola Reunion "Then and Now" "Then and Now”, the theme of the Avola Reunion, Aug. 2-3, hosted by committee heads Bob and Colleen Jensen, will be obvious for guests approaching the exterior and entering the newly renovated Avola school house, which was built in 1939 and renovated once again in 2013.

In the "Welcome" tent a guest book, interviews, maps, "Points of Interest Tour" and a time-line will collect "Then and Now" data from each guest.

Inside the old one-room log Avola school house, the display of photos will stimulate story-telling. Cassidy Tucker's Heritage Fair project on the Avola School will be on loan for the event. Everyone attending is invited to being "show and tell."

High speed Internet and cell coverage, first made available in 2013, have added Google Maps, internet research, digital photography, scanning and other computer uses as part of this years "Then and Now" Avola Reunion project.

Children exploring the newly installed

playground equipment "Now" will hear from their parents how the "Tot-Lot" used to be "Then."

A digital "Then and Now" slide show will be running in a 30-minute loop in the Log Inn Pub. Edited

by Kevin Deckert, pairs of slides showing old photos way back "Then" with how the same scene looks "Now." On Saturday, Larry Tucker and Jack Schaeffer have offered to bring up a dozen or so engines and a tractor from their collections dating from 1905 to the 1930s running and humming at Jensen's yard.

Twelve historic geo-cache sites, which are located using GPS between Messiter Summit and McMurphy, will be loaded up with new loot and invitations to join in the festivities.

Aug. 2, Saturday evening, "Kathi" is coming. Songs from the 30s, 40s and 50s are her speciality.

On Sunday, Aug. 3 evening Larry Frisk's one-man-band brings entertainment. All other musicians are invited to bring their instruments and talents to add to both evenings in the yard of the Log Inn Pub.

Clearwater girl returns from working trip to India Zoe Ovenden On July 16, with mixed emotions, I arrived back in Clearwater from my Me to We trip to India.

Throughout the three weeks I spent in Rajistan I was able to learn and experience many things that I never thought I could. Every morning the 24 other participants and I met for yoga at 7 a.m.

On most days after breakfast we would head off to the build-site, where we worked on three different projects.

Free the Children’s Adopt a Village program focuses on five different pillars of sustainability; education, clean water and sanitation, health care, food security and alternative income. The community that we were working in already has a school and a well.

We worked on digging the foundation for a health care center for pregnant women and young children, building latrines next to the school in the hopes that it would

allow more girls to go to obtain an education and creating a garden to grow food as well as medicinal plants. During our breaks we would spend time with the children. Even though there was a language barrier we were still able to

enjoy ourselves.

Our evenings would be spent action planning and inspiring each other.

I was lucky to meet some inspirational people during my trip: Craig Keilburger, founder of Free the Children, Cheryl Sandberg,

CEO of Facebook and Spencer West, motivational speaker and Free the Children advocate.

If someone were to ask me what affected me most during my trip I would answer, the people. Never in my life have I met such

happy, positive community members.

You may think that people living in Canada would be happier and more fulfilled than people in India, but that’s a false assumption. One of the days I was there, I was able

to talk to a local community member. This particular lady had a house smaller than my bedroom, which she shared with her daughter and husband. She had no education, but everyday she provided for her family, collecting water, cooking food and making supplies.

At one point during the conversation I asked her if she was fulfilled with her life, she said yes. This made me realize that if this lady, who has barely enough food and water, and so much responsibility can be happy, we should be happy too.

I wouldn’t have been able to experience this trip if it wasn’t for the support my community gave me.

To thank everyone I’ll be holding a photo presentation at my house showcasing my experiences from India.

There’ll be two different dates to assure everyone can attend, Aug. 12 and Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. Call 250-674-2562 or email zoe. ovenden@gmail.com if you’re interested in attending. Thanks again!

Electricity use rises with heat As the temperature rises, BC Hydro sees an increase in the provincial electricity load. For example, on July 14 between 5 and 6 p.m., electricity demand peaked at 7,302 megawatts – an increase of 433 megawatts over the previous Monday evening.

The highest hourly peak demand recorded was set on Nov. 29, 2006, when consumption reached 10,113 megawatts between 5 and 6 p.m.

Judges and other paddlers stand on shore as a kayaker shows his skill on the standing wave at Pink Mountain on the Clearwater River on Sunday - said by some to be one of the best places for surfing on the continent. They were taking part in the Clearwater Kayak Festival, which included watching whitewater videos on Friday evening at Interior Whitewater, a downriver race in the Middle Canyon on Saturday, and the rodeo at Pink Mountain on Sunday. Recent heavy rains meant the river was higher than usual for this time of year.

It was a beautiful day to golf on the Friday and there was the added fun of a “Horse Race” after, organized by the some of the men golfers.

one golfer, Deanna Pendergast, that we have not seen for quite some time. Welcome back Deanna.

The winners for the golf night were: Low Gross: Madeline Klassen, Anna Mae Dee, Rosemary Harley; Low Net: Carol Hindle, Cleo Schwartz, Abbey Bates; KP: Stephanie Turner; Long Drive: Deanna Pendergast, Cleo S., Rosemary H.;

Long Putt: Deanna P., Jane Olson, Eileen Sedgwick; Long putt all: Madeline K.; Least Putts: Anna Mae; Most Putts was shared between Cleo S. and Joan Slingsby; Closest to the windmill: Eileen S.; Accuracy Line: Joan Slingsby.

Thank you to our sponsors for the week: Pharmasave, Clearwater Computers, The Caboose, O’Bryans Café,

The Painted Turtle Restaurant, Absolute Hair, Century 21 Realty, Safety Mart, TNT, Wells Gray Inn, Home Hardware, and Rona.

Was wonderful to see the gang out again.

Hope to see more of the regulars out next week. Remember that the game will be played with only three clubs and a putter.

Which clubs you use is your choice.

Rainstorm doesn't dampen Japanese spirits Keith McNeill Four Girl Guides from Japan will have plenty of adventures to tell their friends about after taking part in a SOAR provincial Guide camp in Enderby last week.

The four youngsters plus one adult leader attended the camp as guests of the Clearwater Guiding movement.

Ten representatives of the local movement, including two adult leaders and one Pathfinder, also were at the camp when it was struck by a severe rainstorm on Wednesday, July 23.

The same storm caused extensive damage in Kamloops and some local-

ized flooding in Clearwater.

“We just came back from a trip when the rain started,” said Hannah Foisy, one of the local Guides. “We waited in the bus for about one hour, then we went into the arena. It was very hot and sweaty. After several more hours they allowed us out when the rain stopped.”

According to fellow Guider Catherine Bennett, there was no food available for the first few hours in the arena.

Then organizers, looking for something that was easy to prepare and distribute, handed out loaves of bread.

“Bread never tast-

ed so good,” she said.

The girls then settled in their tents for the night, but the storm came back and some (although not those from Clearwater) had to spend the rest of the night in the Enderby arena.

Despite language difficulties, the Japanese girls did not appear dismayed by events.

About 2,500 Girl Guides from all over B.C. as well as elsewhere took part in the SOAR camp, which is held annually in different locations across the province.

On Saturday the Japanese Girl Guides travelled to Clearwater to begin

several days of visiting in the homes of local Girls Guides.

Their itinerary included a tour of Wells Gray Park, a visit to the Aveley Sheep Ranch near Vavenby, and river rafting.

“I'm having a great time. I love Canada. It's so beautiful,” said Guide leader Naomi Yamamoto.

Google Translate has proven to be a useful tool in bridging the language barrier, said Randy Hedlund. His granddaughter, Bayley Hedlund, hosted one of the Japanese Girl Guides.

“It's been a great experience for us as well,” he said.

Pastor thanks community of Clearwater for its hospitality Acts17:26 "And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us" One of the things I noticed when I first came to Clearwater was all the For Sale signs.

I was told that there are approximately 150 properties for sale. With an immediate population of around 2,500 that means a big percentage of the population is hoping to move.

For those desiring to move it can be an antagonizing wait. The question of "When will I sell?" or "What can I do to get out of here?" likely permeates one's thoughts regularly.

I would encourage

come to an end. God has determined that I should move on and another come after me.

I believe that God is working in Clearwater and will continue to do

so. I also believe that those who live here will be experiencing the presence of God through Jesus Christ in a very new and powerful way. Thus those of

you who live here and even feel stuck here may be here for God to not only show himself to you but also use you to reveal himself to others.

For hearts that are humble and desirous of a relationship with God it will be wonderful. It will be a dream come true.

For those those that relish in their sin and degra-

Impaired driver Clearwater RCMP issued a local resident a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition and a 30-day vehicle impound.

The driver had been observed as being intoxicated earlier in the night and then was found operating a motor vehicle a short time later.

Dog complaints Clearwater RCMP have responded to numerous dog complaints this summer.

The RCMP would like to advise all dog owners of their responsibility to keep their dogs in their yards and not running freely around town or on the streets where they live. Dog owners are civilly responsible for the actions of their pets.

Keep your dogs in a fenced area, in a dog kennel, on a lead or on a leash when out in public.

Vehicle vs. Hydro pole Clearwater RCMP were advised of a single vehicle collision on Clearwater Valley Road.

A truck driver attempted to use a local pull-through driveway to turn around after realizing he had made a wrong turn.

During this turn around, due to the size of his tractor/trailer unit, the trailer scraped a rock fence around the residence, as well as sideswiped a Hydro pole.

There was minimal damage and no injuries reported.

Destination of 9-1-1 calls changing for tax savings of over $600,000

Kamloops This Week

Auto Financing - Dream Catcher, Apply Today! Drive Today!

Regional district taxpayers, including those in Kamloops, are expected to save more than $600,000 over five years with a switch to 9-1-1 service from a private Vancouver firm.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is among a consortium moving to E-Comm, a private initial answering point for 9-1-1 calls already utilized by Lower Mainland regional districts.

The Nov. 18 switch date is at the expense of a public call centre based in Kelowna, where about 12 jobs were expected to be eliminated.

Ron Storie, manager of community services

1.800.910.6402

with the TNRD, said there will be no change to jobs or staffing in Kamloops.

Calls to E-Comm in Vancouver will continue to be routed to the B.C. Ambulance Service or Kamloops Fire and Rescue dispatch centres in Kamloops.

Storie said the change was brought on in part by rising costs at the Kelowna centre, which fields nearly 250,000 calls a year.

In the future, Storie said, E-Comm will able to accept video taken at an accident scene, socalled next-gen 9-1-1.

Police calls in Kamloops will continue to be handled by RCMP dispatchers in Kelowna, with initial calls routed through E-Comm.

Volunteer your time, energy and skills today.

WOODSTOCK, NB/CNW/ - Xplornet Communications Inc., Canada's leading rural broadband service provider, announced recently that it will be the first telecommunications company in Canada to provide homes and businesses with internet download speeds up to 25 Mbps to 100% of the rural population.

CRTC and Industry Canada have forged an action plan to ensure all Canadians have equal access to high speed broadband. Xplornet has embraced this vision and is executing a plan to provide customers outside big cities with the most attractive Internet experience that technology can provide.

Xplornet has started rolling out a new Long Term Evolution (LTE) fixed-wireless

network this year and will activate two state of the art next generation satellites in 2016 with the aim of making 25 Mbps broadband service available at affordable prices to 100% of Canadian homes and businesses outside of the big urban cities.

Ignoring the Impossible "We have heard for years that getting fast, affordable high-speed Internet to 100% of the country isn't possible – that the technology and dollars just are not there," said Allison Lenehan, president of Woodstock, NB based Xplornet.

"We have made it our mission to ignore the impossible and make access to fast, reliable internet access a reality.

Despite Canada's massive

geography and difficult topography, it will not matter where you live, even in the far north, we will deliver an Internet experience that can handle even the most speed-intensive online applications, and we'll do it for about the same price you would pay if you lived in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto or Fredericton."

Xplornet will continue to invest in the evolution of its rural broadband networks.

"As we roll out our new LTE fixed wireless and satellite networks, we believe the technology advances we are making will continue to push the boundaries forward and someday soon we will be announcing 100 Mbps download speeds. Stay tuned, it's pretty amazing stuff," said Lenehan.

Behind the scenes, 200 Trekking Tales later, part 2 Once stories, photos (and Trekking Tale #200) are in position, the newspaper is still visible only on the computer in Clearwater, but it is ready to move along to the next stage of production.

On Tuesday morning, the roughed-in newspaper with its stories and photos placed makes its first stop in Barriere, where its sister paper, the Star/Journal, is produced. Here the ads are inserted by graphic artist Lisa Quiding on her computer. By Tuesday afternoon, the layouts for both papers, fully completed, fly through the Internet to the Black Press office in Vernon.

Occasionally a late-breaking story, like the sink-hole at Brookfield Shopping Centre, will cause last minute changes. The layout was already in Vernon when that story broke (pun?), but made it into the paper before printing began.

On Wednesday morning, the images are transferred (magically) from a computer in Vernon to rollers at the press. At last it

Trekking Tales

By Kay Knox

begins to sound a bit like the whirring presses of yesteryear!

With the paper threaded through two rollers simultaneously, both sides of each page are printed together, using a soyabased ink that reduces the grubby hands of yore to some degree.

Colour pages use a mix of cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink to produce the variety of colours we appreciate. Many rollers are in action to produce each paper

quickly. Machines collate and fold pages, then count and package the finished newspapers; groups of 20 are combined to make weightier bundles of 100.

Those with mailing addresses on them are packaged separately – another of office manager Yevonne Cline's jobs is to update the list of subscribers each week and send this information to Vernon. On Wednesday afternoons Bob Hayward (hus-

band of Star/Journal editor Jill Hayward) picks up the papers in Vernon and brings them to the office in Clearwater. Local driver Ray Wilson then arrives to distribute the bundles of papers — some to the post office so they appear in mailboxes on Thursday; the rest are bundled and delivered to the businesses that sells the paper.

During its first few years the paper was printed in Clearwater – an all day job – until the Kamloops Daily News took over the printing.

“I remember Frank Tonge (a former owner of the Times) marvelling that he could go out for a cup of coffee, came back, and the printing job was done,” said editor Keith McNeill.

One challenge then and now is remembering you are working ahead; sometimes discussions become confusing as the deadline for one paper and the beginnings of a new issue come close together.

“Another thing that keeps us on our toes is waiting for last-

minute promised items or bits of specific info as Monday’s noon deadline gets pushed to the limit,” Keith added.

The success of our local paper can be seen in the many awards it has won both in B.C. and across Canada. The presence of letters to the editor is important in judging, but so are other factors.

“All stories, photos, and community articles submitted by freelance correspondents such as Robyn Rexin and you add a lot to our newspaper,” Keith assured me.

Wow! I found this all most interesting so now, when I press “Send” and see this Trekking Talk disappear from my screen, I’ll be able to picture what happens until we collect our paper from the mailbox and start turning pages to see what has been happening in our community.

“Am I in there?” I will ask husband John if he beats me across the road with the key on a Thursday.

Now: read, be informed, and enjoy....

Delay puts Trans Mountain oil pipeline decision past 2015 election The NEB will now take applications for new intervenors affected by the route change in Burnaby.

The proposed

Jeff Nagel Surrey North Delta Leader The National Energy Board is extending its review of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion by seven months to give the company more time to provide information on its revised route.

The regulator now plans to make a final recommendation on the project by Jan. 25, 2016, instead of July 2, 2015.

The federal government would then have six months to make a final decision on approving the project.

B.C. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the delay has major political ramifications.

"What this has done is pushed the final decision on Kinder Morgan from before the federal election to after the federal election of 2015," Weaver said. "That's not going to be lost on people, because this is very much going to be an election issue."

Burnaby NDP MP Kennedy Stewart called the extension a major victory that

$5.4-billion pipeline twinning would nearly triple Trans Mountain's capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and bring

hundreds of additional oil tankers through Burrard Inlet each year.

– with files from Wanda Chow

Meat Draws A section of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline being twinned in Jasper National Park in 2008. Black Press file photo

makes the pipeline unlikely to ever be built because the review process is now a "shambles."

It's not yet clear if the revised schedule will mean any significant delay for the review's oral hearings, expected early next year.

Aboriginal traditional evidence hearings slated for late summer have now been split into three sessions through the fall.

The changes so far mean only minor delays in the next deadlines for intervenors, who say Kinder Morgan has not supplied good enough

answers in response to their questions. Those intervenors include the provincial government, the City of Vancouver and Lower Mainland regional districts.

The new preferred route would drill or tunnel through Burnaby Mountain and the NEB has requested the company supply more information about that plan.

The City of Burnaby, however, has so far refused to allow Kinder Morgan access to the area and the company could ask the NEB for an order compelling the municipality to cooperate.

Weaver, who is also

an intervenor, said the extra time added to the process should be used to ensure better answers are provided on many fronts, not just ones related to the Burnaby routing.

He suggested more testing be conducted on how diluted bitumen behaves in ocean water.

Legislation requires the NEB to complete the review within 15 months, but that can be extended if the regulator requires more information.

Kinder Morgan did not immediately comment, saying it is "considering the implications of these changes."
