Fire destroys Vavenby home Robyn Rexin

On Saturday, Sept. 13, sometime between 3:30 and 4 a.m., Vavenby volunteer firefighters were notified by a Canfor worker of a house fire on Capostinsky Road in Vavenby.

Six firefighters responded.

When they arrived at the scene flames were visible on the roof and the north side of the home. The crew knew that the house could not be saved.

Property conservation became the goal. The firefighters did a wonderful job keeping the fire contained. They managed to save all surrounding buildings and homes. A barbeque propane bottle blew, scaring some of the crew.

The cause of the fire was impossible to discern due to how engulfed the house was.

The firefighters were on the scene for five hours putting out the fire and returned every hour throughout the day to check for hot spots. The crew taped the site to keep people out of the area.

Homeowner Charlotte West and her son were camping at Skyline Lake when this tragedy occurred. An RCMP officer went to notify them. When she got home and saw all that she had lost she was devastated.

West did not lose any of her animals, however. She had taken her dogs camping with her and a friend was looking after her alpacas. West and her son will live in their camper for

Teams search for archaeological evidence Times Staff Several crews have been doing archeological surveys in this area in preparation for Kinder Morgan's plans to twin its Transmountain Pipeline.

According to a Transmountain spokesperson, the purpose of the archaeological survey is to locate, record and assess any archaeological site that may be impacted by the project. The informa-

tion gathered is to be used in consideration for route and project planning.

The Trans mountain contractors, working in conjunction with local First Nations groups. have completed the initial assessment of the area, the spokesperson said.

New archaeological sites have been identified, and new site information has been recorded.

The work is being done in association

Weather Network predicts warmer than usual fall for B.C. OAKVILLE, ON/CNW/ - The Weather Network's meteorologists have released this year's fall outlook, forecasting the months of September, October and November. In addition, it's releasing a winter preview giving Canadians a glimpse of what to expect.

As was the case in the summer, British Columbia is expected to continue experiencing above normal temperatures this fall and near normal precipitation for most of the province.

Temperatures will be above normal except for the extreme north and southeast; where near normal temperatures are expected.

Precipitation will be above normal for Haida Gwaii, and from the north coast and northern central coast inland to Williston Lake. Below normal in extreme south-central areas.

Winter preview Meteorologists are monitoring developing El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean, which generally have an impact on late-fall and early winter weather in North America.

While El Niño can often mean a warmer winter for Canada, that's not necessarily the case this year. The Weather Network meteorologists are favouring a weak El Niño developing, which could result in a continuation of the patterns experienced this past summer and anticipated for this autumn.

If a weak El Niño develops as forecasted, the odds favour winter temperatures to be on the lower side of normal from Manitoba east to Quebec, with British Columbia seeing above normal temperatures.

Boundary changes sought for NT and Finn Creek parks Keith McNeill

Fire bans lifted for Clearwater Fire Zone Keith McNeill As of noon on Monday, Sept. 14, open fires for backyard and industrial burning were permitted throughout the entire Clearwater Fire Zone.

“Normally we only allow burning over 1,200 meters on this day,” said forest protection officer Jim Jones. “However, with all the rainfall we've been having, we opened the whole fire zone up to Category 2 and Category 3 fires.”

“People still need to be careful,” he added, pointing to a grassfire near Princeton on the weekend that grew rapidly to 180 ha. “Don't burn on windy days and have the necessary equipment on hand.”

Jones said the for-

est industry also is being asked to be cautious and to start burning at higher elevations first.

Lifting the fire ban was done after consultation with Thompson-Nicola Regional District and District of Clearwater, he said.

Both were in support of the decision.

District of Clearwater usually follows Clearwater

Permits are required for land clearing, commercial or industrial burning.

Kinder Morgan has applied to have boundaries changed in four provincial parks, including North Thompson Park near Clearwater and Finn Creek Park near Blue River.

The adjustments would be made to allow the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan's Transmountain pipeline.

The boundary changes should not be allowed to go ahead, according to Tim Pearson, director of communications with the Sierra Club of B.C. “Parks are meant to be forever,” he said. “This could lead to the dismantling of the system.

North Thompson Park is a popular spot for residents of Clearwater and visitors to go hiking, fishing and cross-country skiing, he pointed out.

Finn Creek Park is used for hiking and skiing as well, plus is an important spawning ground for trout and salmon.

“The bigger issue is the government has opened up all the parks in the province to industrial uses,”

of the south end of Clearwater Lake, while the second was about nine km north, also on the east side of the lake.

Both forest fires could be seen from the lake, resulting in occasional reports from canoeists to the fire zone.

Following BC Parks' policy, both were only being monitored. They would not be actioned unless they threatened to grow and threaten buildings or other infrastructure.

Pearson said. “Any company can now do research in parks, and then apply for a boundary change.”

The doubling of the pipeline will lead to almost tripling its capacity, he said, which in turn will lead to greater danger of spills.

A pipeline spill near Kalamazoo in Michigan a few years ago has cost $1 billion so far to clean up, according to the Sierra Club spokesperson.

In an interview on CBC Radio, Minister of Environment Mary Polak said the process for changing park boundaries has not changed. Several applications are received routinely each year.

She pointed out that some of the parks (including North Thompson and Finn Creek) were created after the pipeline went through.

Possibly Kinder Morgan could purchase other land to make up for the land removed, she said.

Other parks that could be affected

by Kinder Morgan's application are Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area near Kamloops and Bridal Veil Falls Park near Hope.

In Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, the Supreme Court recognized the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s ownership of title land in its traditional territory. This decision provides a crucial opportunity to re-frame the relationship between First Nations and the province of British Columbia.

The Tsilhqot’in situation is not unique. The legal principles informing the Court’s unanimous ruling in the Tsilhqot’in case are widely applicable and should be adopted as part of a just and principled framework for the long overdue recognition of Indigenous land rights in BC. Toward this end, our organizations would like to draw your attention to these conclusions of the Supreme Court: • The Supreme Court stated that the doctrine of terra nullius “never applied in Canada.” The court affirmed that Indigenous peoples exercised rights to control, use and benefit from their lands prior to the arrival of Europeans and that the assertion of European sovereignty in British Columbia did not extinguish this “independent legal interest.”

• The Court affirmed that contemporary Aboriginal title, “the unique product of the historic relationship between the Crown and the Aboriginal group in question,” includes the right to use the land according to their own values and wishes and a responsibility to protect the land for the use of future generations.

• In regard to federal and provincial governments, the Court stated that “incursions on Aboriginal title cannot be justified if they would substantially deprive future generations of the benefit of the land.”

• The Court rejected assertions by the province

that Indigenous title lands are necessarily limited to small tracts of continuous intensive use.

Instead, the Court found that Indigenous societies that historically exercised control over large territories could establish ongoing title to these lands.

• The Court stated: “the Crown had ... a legal duty to negotiate in good faith to resolve land claims.” “The governing ethos,” the Court said, “is not one of competing interests but of reconciliation.” The Court also stated, “What is at stake is nothing less than justice for the Aboriginal group and its descendants, and the reconciliation between the group and broader society.”

• Finally, the Court also reaffirmed principles established in previous decisions such Delgamuukw and Haida Nation, that the federal and provincial governments have an obligation to act in good faith to protect Indigenous interests pending the resolution of outstanding title disputes.

The Court also cautioned government that it would be in its own best interest to obtain the consent of Indigenous peoples on resource development decisions lest these decisions be overturned at a later date as a consequence of recognition of Indigenous land ownership.

Our organizations made a joint intervention in the Tsilhqot’in title case because we believed that the outcome would have profound importance for Indigenous peoples throughout Canada.

In our view, the Court’s decision provides a principled framework for fulfilling the Constitutional promise of recognition of Aboriginal land title. Further, the framework set out by the Court includes key elements that are consistent with international human rights law.

We urge your government to publicly commit to fully upholding the Tsilhqot’in decision in the spirit of harmonious relations, mutual co-operation and respect for Aboriginal title and governance.

Alex Neve, secretary general Amnesty International Canada, Lana Robinson, clerk, Canadian Friends Service Committee (Quakers)

Government not dealing in good faith with teachers Editor, The Times:

The BC Supreme Court decision that the Liberals lost (twice) is the main sticking point in the strike. In 2012 the court ruled that the government bargained in bad faith.

How often have you heard the government say, "We can't comment because it's before the

courts"? And that's exactly where their latest appeal is – before the courts! So why is it now okay for Clark to bring this court ruling into the mediation process?

Whenever hostages are used to bargain ransoms from governments it's always met with, "We will not negotiate with terrorists." The same can be said

by the teachers' union. Clark's government is holding our kids hostage because they lost in arbitration – the Supreme Court.

That's why they don't want more arbitration. They deal by bad faith.

They are violating the law.

Newspaper family starts Clearwater Times 50 years ago Times Staff The ClearwaterNorth Thompson Times will turn 50 years old this week.

The newspaper’s first issue (Vol. 1, No. 1) came out on Sept. 23, 1964.

The Times’ first owners were Dave Berryman and family.

“Dad’s DNA was newspaper,” recalled Chris Berryman, one of Dave Berryman’s children.

Dave Berryman’s family had run a newspaper in Saskatchewan for most of the early 1900s. When he was 16 his parents moved to Oliver, B.C., where they started the Oliver Chronicle.

Berryman worked on the Chronicle until going to UBC to study engineering (metallurgy). After a few years as a metallurgist, he and his new wife returned to the Chronicle when his mother died in the 1950s. They got the Chronicle into the black and then sold it.

“After not really enjoying his career in metallurgy, Dad and Mom figured newspapering was what my Dad did best and started the Times in 1964,” said Chris.

Memories of those early years are still vivid with Chris. At the time, the only road to Kamloops was a dirt track.

“Boy, I sure remember the printing presses,” he added. “I think the big one was called the ‘Gordon’, and was so large it needed a separate shed behind

the gas station at the bottom of hospital hill.

“And there was the ‘Pony’, the smaller one, which they used for slower jobs like ribbons and raffle tickets, etc.” he said.

He remembered his mother would often pack up a picnic dinner in the laundry basket and bring it up to the print shop because of the long hours being worked.

“Apparently, they used to call me Dennis the Menace,” Chris recalled.

“Also, the Printer’s Devil. Though I gather I wasn’t that bad ... things like getting my tricycle stuck in large mud puddles, and probably eating things I shouldn’t have (at least when I was three years old), which there are a lot of in a print shop.”

One of his clearest memories is that his father’s hands were almost permanently stained black with printer’s ink.

“It seemed so much cooler in the old days, with the big linotype machines and mechanical printing presses,” Chris said. “And the molten lead in the linotype machines, which when I was a kid I thought was really cool.

“They would type on a keyboard, and the molten lead would shape thin metal strips like a short ruler, with letters/words on the edge. These metal strips of type would be put together into paragraphs and stories, within a large metal

frame. Installed inside the printing press, this frame of linotype sentences and paragraphs would be repeatedly covered with ink and pressed up against paper sheets to make the final printed newspaper page.

“Man, what a miracle age of Victorian age technology.”

He speculated that his older brothers, Jeff and Rick, who had just turned teenagers, probably found it a horribly stressful time, as they had to help out pretty much all the time.

“Often, to earn my allowance, I would be given the task of filling the wooden spacers that were used to pack out the typesetting to the edge of the frame.

Man, talk about

tedious ... but it had to be done,” he said.

After five years in Clearwater, Dave and Mary Berryman separated. She and the children moved to the Coast where she continued working as a teacher. Dave took on Frank Tonge as a partner.

Len Sonneson, today still a resident of Clearwater, took over Berryman’s share of the business in 1974.

Berryman passed away in 1975.

The Tonges acquired Sonneson’s share in 1988 and in 1993, they sold the Times to Nancy and Bruce Chappell.

Caribou Press, which today is known as Black Press, acquired the newspaper in 1997.

The Times’ original owners, Dave and Mary Berryman, lay out the newspaper on Linotype machines. They used to edit their correspondents’ reports and government news releases as they typed, even though changes were difficult to make.

Pennell noted that he has worked his way up through the local government political ladder and next spring hopes to be put into a leadership position with Southern Interior Local Government Association and sit as a member of Union of BC Municipalities executive.

“This will provide an even greater voice to the North Thompson by providing that much needed recognition with provincial ministers and their senior staff.” he said.

“The last six years have been very rewarding to me personally as I have greatly enjoyed working with area residents and my political peers,” Pennell said. “Another term will see the aforementioned capital projects completed and provide political stability to the area. I intend to continue with the attitude of taking care of what we have and living within our means!”

Pennell has lived in this area since July of 2007.

Before that, he was a rural director in the Cariboo for three years and served as a planning commission member there for 10 years. He was a volunteer firefighter for 13 years, reaching the rank of captain.

Tim Pennell, the incumbent director for Wells Gray Country (Area A), has announced that he plans to seek a third term during next November's elections.

Pennell has represented Vavenby, Blackpool, East Blackpool, Birch Island and Upper Clearwater on the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board since 2008.

“Over the past six years I have focused on taking care of and rebuilding what we have,” he said. “Thanks to efforts of volunteers and federal Gas Tax funding, we have been able to take the three rural community halls from varying conditions of disrepair to centres in our community that we can be proud of.”

Pennell said he has Tim Pennell also directed significant amounts of Gas Tax fundis in place and it should be ing to the Vavenby water installed in the next six to system, Vavenby firehall and eight months.

You Are What You Eat Who doesn’t love summer just for the food?

Finally, fresh vegetables from the garden, delicious desserts, and barbecues with friends and family. Of course we want to share the fun with our canine family members. They are all too happy to oblige and never complain that their steak is too rare or that the chicken is dried out.

As usual, I am going to be that stick in the mud - please don’t give in to those mournful brown eyes. Many of the culinary treats we enjoy this time of year can be a gastric disaster for our dogs. As a veterinarian, some of the worst cases I have seen have involved dogs at a barbeque. They should just carry a sign “Will be cute for food”. Those tiny morsels add up when your dog works the crowd - not to mention what gets dropped, discarded or simply left unattended on a paper plate. Fatty foods, especially ribs and chicken skin can be particularly dangerous.

The sudden intake of fats puts the pancreas (a temperamental organ even under the best of circumstances) into overdrive. Powerful enzymes that normally would be released into the gut in tiny amounts are abruptly released into the abdomen, causing severe pain and often vomiting and diarrhea. These enzymes then essentially begin the digest the animal’s own tissues. Aggressive treatment and hospitalization are often essential to save the dog’s life. Some dogs with this condition, called pancreatitis, do not survive even with the best of treatment. Those that do survive are highly subject to future episodes.

www.cariboomobilevet.com over that yummy bone to your best friend.

Again, this can create a similar problem. Many bones have large amounts of fat still attached and the marrow of large round bones is almost pure fat. One common misconception is that the danger in bones is that they can splinter and the sharp end might perforate or puncture the stomach or intestine. While this can happen, it is rarely the case. The issue with bones is that they can easily become an obstruction in the digestive tract. Small pieces that are swallowed become compacted together as the body tries to move them through the intestine. When many small pieces are crushed into one or more larger pieces, the body quits trying to move them through and the obstruction must be removed surgically.

Now that I have taken away all the fun, what can you give your dog to show him or her that they are your favorite party guest? Items from the veggie tray are usually a good choice avoiding radishes, onions and peppers. Broccoli, carrots, lettuce spines and many dark greens are good choices. Small bites of cheese and the occasional cracker or roll are unlikely to be a problem. Bits of lean chicken or beef with no visible fat or skin are also acceptable choices, but do avoid giving pork as it tends to have a high fat content.

I know. . . I know. . . party pooper. Just tell your dog that it’s all my fault.

Longtime local resident Phyllis Bucknell has received the Golden Girl award for her volunteer contribution to the community.

Mayor John Harwood made the presentation Friday evening, Sept. 12, as part of the Clearwater Canoe Regatta.

According to her award citation, Bucknell has been an active member of the Clearwater Elks since she came to Clearwater.

She has volunteered on almost every May long weekend for both the parade and the ball tournaments.

She has been a supporter of many causes including extending her support for Clearwater Breast Friends, aiding in donations for Evergreen Acres, participating with Bingo’s, craft fairs and, of course, the Elks' pancake breakfasts.

Even though Phyllis has had some health problems recently, you can still find her doing craft fairs and being up early to help with the pancake breakfast.

Bucknell was not the only local volunteer to be recognized

by Harwood on Friday evening.

Also given awards for their service were: • Marie Giesbrecht – a tireless

and field skills.

• John and Susan McFarland and Shirley Grant – We would like to acknowledge John, Susan and Shirley for their help with District of Clearwater's Age Friendly program.

John and Susan have been to every lunch and make sure the program runs successfully. Shirley is the queen of coffee and smiles. She sets the tone for the lunch and paints sunshine with everyone.

By 2020, about 1 in 3 Canadians will be diabetic or prediabetic. If you haven’t been screened for diabetes and are over 40, check with your doctor. Diabetes can be prevented through lifestyle changes ... weight-loss, better nutrition and exercise.

As we age, our eyes sometimes don’t produce enough tears to keep the eye moist causing “dry eye syndrome.” This can also be caused by certain medications as well. It’s important to keep the eye surface moist. Talk to our pharmacists about this. We can check your medication list for possible drug causes and recommend a suitable moisturizing eye drop or ointment to help.

Pharmacists are often asked for something to reduce heartburn. There are drugs available for this but often just making a few changes in your life might do the job.

Avoid eating less than three hours before bed. Eat smaller meals. The more you eat, the longer it takes for the stomach to empty which can contribute to heartburn.

To reduce heartburn, try to identify which foods cause it. Common culprits are tomatoes, garlic, milk, coffee, cola soft drinks and chocolate. You might try sleeping on a bit of an incline using a wedge-shaped cushion. Lastly, lose those extra pounds that could put more pressure on the stomach causing contents to move up the oesophagus.

If all this doesn’t reduce your heartburn, talk to our pharmacists. There are a number of products available without prescription that may help.

Clearwater Youth Soccer hosted a total of 80 young players from Clearwater and Barriere during a fun soccer play-day on Sunday afternoon.

The event was held on the playing fields at Clearwater Secondary School.

“We are so fortunate to have a nearby community like Barriere for our children to play against,” commented Clearwater Youth

Public Notice is given to the electors of the District of Clearwater that a general election will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2014. The Election is for the purposes of electing one (1) Mayor and six (6) Councillors for a four (4) year term commencing December, 2014. Nominations will be received by the Chief Election Officer or a designated person, as follows:

Soccer president Barb Coates.

“Barriere provides players of similar experience and skill level making for fun and challenging games. The Clearwater players had to work hard to win three of the five games played!

Players from Clearwater are to travel to Barriere this Saturday to continue the rivalry.

New look and name for next generation of sport Submitted LANGLEY – BC Seniors Games Society will be rebranding its annual multi-sport event as the 55+ BC Games starting in 2015 with the North Vancouver Games.

Fort LangleyAldergrove MLA Rich Coleman made the announcement at the closing ceremony for the Langley 2014 BC Seniors Games.

“As we have seen over the last few days, the spirit and vitality of older British Columbians is nothing short of inspiring. This new branding aptly reflects B.C.’s culture of active, engaged citizens of all ages and backgrounds,” said Coleman.

“We have been doing a lot of strategic planning about our past and vision for the future. Since

their beginning in 1987 the BC Seniors Games have become a very successful multisport event in British Columbia. However, looking forward to the next five years we learned that for the first time in history a majority of BC citizens will be aged 55 and older,” said June Parsons, BC Seniors Games Society past president.

The BC Seniors Games Society will continue to operate with no changes to the society, zone structure or the product of the games. The rebrand involves a new logo that is a stylized torch representing the people that embrace life, sport and friends within a multi-sport games environment.

The Langley BC Seniors Games ran Sept. 9-13, 2014 and included 25 sports, close to 3,900 partici-

Police attended the scene and spoke with the complainant, who worked at a local business. The complainant advised that a van had turned off the highway at a high rate of speed, travelled across the traffic meridian and bent over a traffic sign.

The suspect driver and vehicle were still sitting in the parking lot of this business.

In the early morning of Sept. 13, Clearwater RCMP was advised of a house fire in Vavenby.

Police and Vavenby Fire Department attended the scene. The fire department quickly quenched the blaze in the residence.

Thankfully, no one was in the home and the owner had been away from the residence for the weekend.

On Sept. 14, Clearwater RCMP responded to a residential fire in a trailer park located in Blackpool.

Blackpool Fire Department attended the scene and stopped the fire from consuming the entire trailer.

The tenant of the trailer had been away while the fire had started.

The fire department believes that the fire started due to an electrical malfunction.

Driving contrary to restrictions

On Sept. 14, while conducting traffic enforcement along Highway 5 in Clearwater, police observed a vehicle with an “N” sign on its back and three people inside.

The vehicle was stopped and the driver was served a violation ticket for “Drive Contrary to Restrictions” for having too many passengers with an “N”.

Police seized a small amount of marijuana from the driver as well.

Let's stamp out crime

Anyone with information regarding any crime is invited to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Anonymity is guaranteed, and rewards are offered for useful information (for example, information that leads to an arrest).
