Stocking the lake Clearwater Trout Hatchery manager Mark Green unloads 1,500 rainbow trout and 5,000 kokanee into Dutch Lake on Monday. Watching are students from Clearwater PreSchool. Fishing in the lake has improved since the hatchery began stocking it, Green says. All money from fishing licenses now goes to B.C.'s hatcheries.

Locally, that should mean more habitat improvements. See also page A9.

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 pointed 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 mug 2. Don Pickerell won a hold-all bag 3. Lorne Yoeger won a cup and 4. 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.

Help Nepal – and other Clearwater Rotary projects Kay 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 earthquake in Nepal.

For previous national disasters, funds collected 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 collected 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 theme We 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.

SD73 saves big on energy use Dale Bass – Kamloops This Week Since the 2001 school year, the KamloopsThompson school district has saved more than $1.1 million in energy consumption.

A report to trustees at Monday night’s meeting shows during the dozen years ending in the 2013-2014 school year, the biggest savings came in propane consump-

tion (38 per cent) and electricity consumption (34 per cent).

In addition, reports facilities and transportation director Art McDonald said, there was a 24 per cent reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions, a 21 per cent decline in natural-gas consumption, a 16 per cent reduction in dieselfuel consumption and a 15 per cent decrease in water consumption.

reasons for the savings.

For example, the district has upgraded its heating, 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 propane 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, watering the grass a bit less often and letting it grow a bit longer.

School closures also attributed to the savings — 14 per cent of electricity, 21 per cent of natural gas, 31 per cent of propane and 12 per cent of water reductions.

Opinion

“ Mistakes that are perceived as mistakes are often not mistakes at all.”

- Kirk Douglas, actor editorial by keith mcNeill

Meeting Gandhi on the Blue Bridge

Not all enamoured by India's prime minister 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 economy. 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 complicit in the deadly 2002 HinduMuslims riots in Gujarat where he was chief minister. They

want Modi charged with genocide.

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 government'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 vultures, when (rather than if) they make a total mess of things in India, as they did in postcommunist Russia and other places, they will simply flap their wings and fly off to feed on some other privatized openthe-economy carcass.

And our brave new world corporate media will keep us well informed, you can be sure.

Not.

Duffy trial a waste of money 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 funding 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 campaign, fire the whole lot and start over.

Marshall Garddecki Kamloops, B.C.

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 portents.

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-anddividend.

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 pilgrimage to India and back to honor Mahatma Gandhi.

Unfortunately, a minor but persistent foot injury (plantar fasciitis) 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 roadbridge 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 suspension 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 several 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 wickiup – 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, looking 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 important.

The Greens are really blue, not pink Editor, 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.

Question of the Week

?

Do you think a team from Canada will win the Stanley Cup?

Alice Vaisnis (with Richard):

Esu Haile:

It's kind of hard to tell. Calgary's still in there and I like the Flames, but Montreal has quite a few points.

I think so. The Canadian teams are known to play good hockey and are capable 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.

Fred Ameril:

No, because Gary Bettman has already decided that Canada cannot win again.

The people of Nepal need our help 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 midday. The devastation has been extensive but the good news for Kathmandu is that because of its accessibility and the fact that it is the seat of the political power, the bulk of international aid will be concentrated 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 working 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 surrounded by magnificent 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 completely 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 villages 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 villages 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 villagers. You can go with the big charities like the Red Cross, Save the Children or Oxfam, and all are good charities. There are three small charities however, 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 mountain regions on the country.

1) We Help Nepal www.wehelpnepal. org is run by people I know well and they are distributing food, shelter, supplies and water purification equipment.

2) The Nepal Karma Fund www. gofundme.com/nepalkarmafund, was established 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 survivors, 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.langtangvalleyhealth.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 charities, you may not from these small grass roots ones. If we could all put $20 or more into one of these organizations and then pass this idea on to others – we may be able to make a difference for the people of the

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.

KAMLOOPS – The provincial government has provided Thompson Rivers University with $387,840 for 70 critical

CLEARWATER EMPLOYMENT SERVICES CENTRE 58A Young Road, Clearwater BC V0E 1N2

trade seats to reduce wait times for students entering an in-demand trade profession.

TRU’s funding will go toward the following programs: • Welding: 18 Foundation seats • Carpentry: 18 Foundation seats • Heavy Mechanical Trades: 18 Foundation seats • Millwright: 16 Foundation seats “Trades foundation programs give students

the opportunity to take their first step on a path to trades certification,” Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said. “This funding will bring more students into trades programs, 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 supports B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

Foundation training 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.

Unpaid Work Experience – Building pathways to good jobs Unpaid Work Experience places eligible BCEA Clients with a Work Experience Host in positions which would normally be paid employment.

This allows for a BCEA Client to gain valuable work experience and to develop/improve their employment readiness skills by working in an actual employment environment.

Sports

Early spring paddling — make sure both you and your boat are prepared Submitted As paddlers, it’s perhaps easier than many other recreational boaters 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 everything 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 scheduled.

Wear your lifejacket. With the number of styles available today, some specifically designed for paddlers, 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.

250-674-3343 CLEARWATER

On April 19, a campfire escaped its confines and burned a grassy field area on a rural property in East Blackpool.

Clearwater and Blackpool fire 1-800-222-TIPS departments responded to the call Clearwater RCMP Report 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 enter

On 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 fire

On 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 subdued 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.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

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 associate 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 positive 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 program.”

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 membership. 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 Savings Interior Savings Credit Union is the largest 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 commercial banking and a full range of insurance and wealth management services to members in 14 communities, including Clearwater.

Students clean up for Earth Day Robyn Rexin The Vavenby Primary School students pitched in in a community garbage pickup on Earth Day, April 22.

The children collected two bags of garbage from the streets around the school.

Phillipino event coming up At the beginning of June, Vienna Moilliet will be flying home from the Phillipines, where she has been training to be a midwife and missionary.

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.

Shepherd going to Scotland Rachel 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 finalize 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.
