Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is making plans to upgrade the Highway 5 intersection at Wells Gray Inn, according to District of Clearwater councillor Merlin Blackwell.

Before that happens, the District would like to move ahead with its own plans to extend the town’s sewer system across the highway at that point, plus upsize the existing water main there.

Speaking as chair of town council’s infrastructure committee, Blackwell recommended during a council meeting held Oct. 20 that the town move ahead with developing feasibility and design drawings for a sewer expansion project to

extend from Murtle Crescent to Roy Road.

Council also approved moving forward on feasibility and design drawings of the first phase of a water project to upsize the main from Clearwater Valley Road to Roy Road.

Blackwell noted that there appears to be leaks in that area and so replacing the pipe would, “... kill two leaks with one stone.”

The object of the motions would be to develop shelf-ready proposals that could be used to obtain funding if grants become available.

Town council also approved developing feasibility and design drawings for a screening system at the sewage lagoons on the Flats in Clearwater.

under the age 18.

“This initiative will allow residents the ability to travel more efficiently within the communities noted allowing citizens to attend appointments, conduct business, socialize with friends, and generally aid in easier social interactions within the community,” said Mayor Harwood.

The pilot will provide improvements to the transit system that is in place with more frequent stops, benefiting all citizens with more access to various daytime activities and services within our community.

This pilot service is in addition to the existing transit (bus) service already in place Monday through Friday and the bus service to Kamloops.

Two dogs attack pet and man in Vavenby Robyn Rexin On Saturday, Oct. 17, there was an uproar at the Vavenby General Store.

Vavenby resident Jim McNeilty was walking with his dog, Duke, by his side.

Duke is a fairly small, lean dog and many people think of him as the town mascot. He does not usually bark or growl; he is just a really nice animal.

He always stays at his master’s side and is McNeilty’s best friend.

When McNeilty and Duke were passing a vehicle in the parking lot McNeilty could see two dogs in the vehicle. He went to grab Duke but one of the dogs in the vehicle jumped through the rolled down window

and grabbed Duke by the throat.

The other dog then jumped out and grabbed the helpless Duke by the rear section.

McNeilty got hold of the dog at the rear and started kicking at the dog in front.

But the two attacking dogs pulled Duke out so that “he was stretched like an elastic band” and pulled Duke and his owner around.

McNeilty called out for help and he is so thankful that George Mattenley came over.

Mattenley grabbed the collar of the dog that was at Duke’s throat and both men managed to get the attacking dogs off.

Duke tried to run away but the dogs

Jim McNeilty of Vavenby shows some of the wounds suffered by his dog, Duke, following an attack by two other dogs in front of Vavenby General Store recently. One of the attacking dogs also bit Vavenby resident George Mattenley when he came to help out. Because of the lack of an animal control bylaw there appears to be little the RCMP or TNRD can do.

came at him again.

There were enough people by then to get between the sets of dogs and Duke man-

aged to run all the way home. When McNeilty found him, his pet was cowering in the far corner of the yard.

A Vavenby resident went into the store to bring the Clearwater owner of the attack dogs out-

side. Witnesses said that he had difficulty managing his dogs and getting them back in his car.

Duke’s wounds were vast and extreme.

He has puncture wounds all over, including his tail, and an abscess on his rear.

On his left side the hide is ripped up off of his meat.

A local resident drove McNeilty and Duke to Kamloops to a veterinarian. A drain was put in Duke’s left side to get all of the puss out and for McNeilty to flush the wound two to three times a day with a saline cleaning solution.

Duke gets a pain pill every eight to 10 hours as needed, an anti-inflammatory that is given by a syringe every 24 hours, and an antibiotic pill that he gets orally twice a day. Duke finds the pill a game and rolls it around in his mouth.

Always Forever

&

McNeilty has to watch the temperature of Duke’s leg. If it gets warm, it could mean it is infected by blood poisoning. If that is not treated right away, Duke could die.

Mattenley said that the dogs are fighting dogs. After he was knocked to the ground one of them came up behind him and bit him.

The dogs reportedly were stalking people who were trying to intervene.

Mattenley went to the clinic on Tuesday and got antibiotics.

McNeilty phoned the police on Saturday, Mattenley on Tuesday.

They were told that, because there are no animal bylaws in Vavenby, the RCMP are unable to do anything. Mattenley said that he would like to see the two dogs destroyed.

McNeilty contacted the TNRD in Kamloops about the animal bylaws. He was told again that there are none but the TNRD is going to look into it more because they have had other complaints.

McNeilty has been told that his only recourse is to sue the Clearwater owner.

The general store, which now closes at 7 p.m. for the winter, has put up a donation box to help cover the vet bills. One resident is very happy with how quickly the community came together to help out.

Duke is beginning to come around. He is getting some exercise but is still limping.

He’s no longer having nightmares but McNeilty can’t make a noise or sudden movement or Duke will jump, look at him, and tremble.

Grand opening held for new credit union location Keith McNeill “We sincerely believe that a credit union is only as strong as its members and its communities.”

Those were the words of Kathy Conroy, president of Interior Savings Credit Union (ISCU), as she prepared to cut the ribbon to officially open the credit union’s new branch location in Clearwater Shopping Centre by Highway 5.

The ceremony was held Saturday, Oct. 24.

Clearwater is the first of ISCU’s 21 branches to go through such a transformation, Conroy said.

“This branch paves the way for our future branch designs,” she

said. “From early concept planning to final build, our goal was to build a branch with members and community at its heart.”

“This building is magnificent,” said mayor John Harwood.

“It shows that we have a financial institution that believes in the North Thompson.”

The mayor particularly liked the photos decorating the inside and outside of the new building that show some of the historical and geographic feattures of the area.

“I don’t see how you could do any better,” said M.P. Cathy McLeod.

“Congratulations to Clearwater.”

The federal representative said this was

the first opening she had attended since being re-elected during the recent federal election.

Branch manager Gina Walchuk thanked the more than 80 people who attended the opening for coming.

She gave special mention to Wadlegger Logging for donating some three-inch thick Douglas fir boards for a table in the new community room, and burls that were made into a stand for the waiting area.

Walchuk presented a $3,000 cheque to Clearwater Secondary School for making the table and stand from the wood.

The branch manager also thanked

Glen and April Small for donating the historic photos used in the building, as well as longtime credit union members Ernie Smith and Bernice Thompson, who held the ends of the ribbon during the ribboncutting.

The new branch features an open design.

The communityroom has full multimedia capabilities and 24-hour access for local organizations and businesses to hold meetings and celebrations, free of charge.

Within the branch, there is also a smallbusiness showcase area where local business members can show off their services and wares.

Other features include a self-service technology bar, a cof-

fee bar, and a drivethrough ATM. The insurance office

has been relocated to right inside the branch.

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become."

– Steve Jobs editorial by Dale Bass – Kamloops This Week

Welcome back, Cathy McLeod!

NDP let the Liberals get to the left of them Editor, The Times: Trudeaumania! I never thought I would see it twice in my lifetime ... but there it is.

On the bright side, we won't have to look at Harper's ugly face anymore.

The downside for NDP supporters such as myself was that our party took one heck of a shellacking too.

The big mistake that Tom Mulcair made was to let Trudeau slide left of him, especially when it came to deficits.

Despite Harper's claim that one wouldn't recognize Canada when he was done, there is still plenty of room for centre-left in this country. The NDP, in its rush to move to the centre, overlooked that.

The election of a majority Liberal government might just be a big mistake.

This means there are no checks and balances on the ruling party. Just look at what Harper made of his majority.

The history of majority governments in Canada, both provincially and federally, is not a good one.

In a rational world there wasn't any reason to give Trudeau a majority. His voting record didn't vary much from that of Stephen Harper.

However, all of this is for the future to judge.

The people, as they say, have spoken.

Proving once more, as Winston Churchill said, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.”

NORTH THOMPSON

www.clearwatertimes.com

Established September 23, 1964 Member, BC Press Council

Back in the spring of 2009, KTW editor Christopher Foulds wrote the following about Cathy McLeod: “The KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP is simply an honest woman, a regular Josephine who happens to have that rarest quality among politicians: When asked a question by a reporter, she offers up an answer devoid of political bafflegab and spoon-fed sentences from party elders.”

The issue was attack ads her party was running about then-Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, a tactic McLeod criticized.

It was our front-page story and, given how unusual it was back then for an MP to criticize her governing party, it was also picked up by national media.

Imagine that — a Conservative MP who spoke her mind.

Kamloops has returned McLeod to Ottawa, but she will be in Opposition.

Will Stephen Harper, her dictatorial leader, be just another back-bencher if he really does decide to stay in Parliament?

Anyone taking bets?

Perhaps her new reality will bring back McLeod’s forthright frankness, coming from an MP Foulds described six years ago as having sensible and honest opinions.

Kamloops reporters have been luckier than many of their colleagues in other

areas with Conservative MPs; while many simply ignored calls from the media, McLeod has always responded to us.

Yes, we knew she’d parrot the party line, but she at least acknowledged her role in the give and take of covering politics.

In my hometown of London, Ont., folks there started a “Where’s Ed?” campaign in the run-up to the recent federal election, mocking the complete absence of the minister of state for science and technology from anything that might have involved speaking to reporters or, apparently, voters.

He lost the election.

McLeod’s comments in 2009 were also a welcome relief because her predecessor, Betty Hinton, was a Conservative MP who we knew, as Foulds described it in his column on the attack ads, “would have waxed eloquent on the production quality of the marvellous television moments, regardless of their crassness — the story would have likely been placed inside the newspaper.”

Occasionally, my out-ofoffice path would cross with that of McLeod and it was always interesting to talk with her.

Yes, there would be the anticipated responses to anything political asked, but there were also welcome moments when the real McLeod came through.

At the 2014 official

opening of a preschool’s new space in the renovated Kamloops United Church, for example, I joked with McLeod about saving the plants in her Ottawa office.

It was a bit mocking, to be sure, but at the time, futurehero-turned ambassador and then-sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers had declared plants in the House of Commons government property would be removed and sold because it was too expensive to water them.

“Really, Cathy?,” I asked.

“Can’t you all just water them yourselves?”

The reply came from the McLeod about whom Foulds wrote five years earlier.

She leaned in, put her hand on my arm and answered: “It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

There she is!

The real Cathy McLeod!

I can’t wait to watch that one once Parliament resumes.

And, for those of you who despair that the majority of Kamloopsians voted against her, do not worry.

This is the same woman who was praised during her time as mayor of Pemberton for being good, for always having the time to listen to others, for taking concerns to heart, for working hard for her constituents.

I don’t see her changing — and she’s already got a self-declared neighbour to all Conservatives in the new prime minister.

Poor ticket sales force dance cancellation Editor, The Times: The Clearwater Secondary School Grads are very sorry to have cancelled the Harvest Dance, which was to have been held on Oct 24.

Reason for the cancellation was poor ticket sales.

We will soon announce our next fundraising plan, which will be sure also to enhance or 'give back' to the community.

We would like to thank the Wells Gray Inn,

Pharmasave, Buy Low Foods, CSS staff, and all the other community members and businesses who donated or offered to help. We would also like to give a special thanks to the Times and Star/Journal, and to the newspapers' great editorial teams.

Music Night to help Red Cross equipment loans Editor, The Times: For 50 years, the Red Cross has helped people to get back on their feet by loaning out health equipment through its HELP depots. In 2003, after the Barriere fire, Celine Calfa of the Red Cross, together with local Clearwater citizens, founded the Clearwater Red Cross HELP Depot. It was originally located in our hospital and is now located in the old ICBC building at 132 Station Road.

The Red Cross has funded this organization in our town since 2003, as we have been unable to fund it ourselves.

In order to continue operations in Clearwater, we are trying to increase our funding through local donations.

We are a full volunteer depot. Our funding comes solely from local donations.

Until recently, we had been sending our donations in to the Red Cross, only to find out that in order to be considered a donation towards our depot, the donation needs to have “For Clearwater HELP” written on it, usually in

the memo section of a cheque.

The purpose of our depot is to loan out medical equipment, free of charge, to people in the community. Donations are appreciated.

The equipment loans are short term, three to six months, but can be extended.

On Thursday, Nov. 5, the volunteers of the Clearwater Red Cross HELP Depot will be holding a Music Night, sponsored by the North Thompson Music Guild.

It will be located at the Dutch Lake Community Centre; in the gym. The concert will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

Admission will be by donation. Refreshments will be also by donation.

All proceeds from this venue will be donated to the Clearwater Red Cross HELP Depot.

We are howping for the continued support of our community so that we may continue to keep our Depot open.

Avril Smith (l) of the Xi Epsilon Eta chapter of Beta Sigma Phi presents a check for the Red Cross Clearwater HELP Depot to Heather Stanley recently. The money will be used to keep the equipment loan depot open.

Myths of the Highway of Tears and the unsolved murders B.C. Views column by Tom Fletcher

Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.

Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.

Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used.

Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyerheavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott.

She was last seen in the early hours

of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof.

Her truck and tent were still there.

Again, nothing to do with hitchhiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation.

They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www. oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.

What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway. distRiCt of CleaRwateR What we have seen for decades is a draRequest foR PRoPosal No. 2015-11 matic media narrative CommuNity PaRks aNd oPeN sPaCe maiNteNaNCe about one or more The District of Clearwater requires a qualified contractor to provide maintenance serial killers preying on services for community parks and open space within the municipality.

50

YEARS AGO:

Clearwater's Good Citizen of the Year was nurse Marjorie Harby.

Many times her skill brought comfort and relief to victims of accident or illness. In the winter of 1947-48 she and Margaret Rutsatz visited all the camps in the district, inoculating every child during a diphtheria scare. There were 115 people at the awards dinner.

North Thompson Ambulance Association was trying to get a doctor to practise in Clearwater. It was suggested that a Kamloops doctor be approached to visit once a week.

Buying an ambulance was shelved due to the cost. Instead three offers from members for the use of station wagons as stand-by vehicles.

A full-page ad invited people to sign up to the B.C. Medical Plan. The scheme had been initiated by the provincial government to ensure that every resident of B.C. could obtain prepaid medical coverage at a reasonable premium, said the ad.

45

YEARS AGO:

North Thompson Hospital Society chair John Harwood asked if the community would accept a small diagnostic and treatment center (as was being proposed by the government) or should it push for a 20-bed hospital. Dr. Regehr described the proposed clinic as a glorified first aid post and said he would not work there. The federal government had recommended a 50-bed facility. Over 100 people attended the meeting.

Clearwater High School won its first championship ever when the boys volleyball team defeated Kamloops and North Kamloops. Team members were Mike Monteith, Rocky Frizzle, Peter Miller, Wayne Strobbe, Jim Gledhill, Greg Price, Barry Buck, Bob Hansen, Colin Langen and Brent Buck.

Secondary schools.

Student council president Tracy Holland presented School District 26 chair Ernie Graffunder with a cheque towards the building of tennis courts.

Safety Mart was advertising the opening of its in-store bakery.

Three 16-ounce loaves were on sale for 80 cents.

Dr. Robert Woollard spoke at a meeting of the Clearwater Business Association against establishing a federal maximum-security prison in the area. It would be "... a brutal institution having a brutal purpose," he said. He feared the drug trade would spill over into the community. There would be 193 jobs created.

35

YEARS AGO: A meeting to discuss incorporation for Clearwater drew an audience of about 75, including delegations from outlying areas.

Whereas improvement districts bore 100 per cent of the cost of improvements such as water and sewer, municipalities paid only 25 per cent, they were told.

30

YEARS AGO:

Clearwater Midgets hockey team was to visit Finland, Sweden and Russia in December and January. Team manager Jim London and coach Dave Tremblay made the arrangements.

Weyerhaeuser Vavenby manager Bob Taylor responded to a rumor that the company had only enough timber to last seven years for the local operation by saying that there might not be enough to run two shifts in the future. He

BACK IN TIME and other Weyerhaeuser executives were speaking at a reception held to celebrate 20 years of involvement in the Canadian forest industry.

25

YEARS AGO:

Citizen of the Year was Jean Nelson. A resident of the North Thompson Valley for 34 years, she had been a Girl Guide leader for 20 years, taught swimming, canoeing, life-saving and crosscountry skiing, served on the school board for eight years, and was instrumental in starting the CSS logging program. She had been Chatelaine Magazine's Woman of the Year in 1970.

20

YEARS AGO:

Clearwater RCMP issued a paintball challenge to local teens for Halloween. "Those students had better prepare; we're going to be good," bragged Sgt. Rex Henry.

15

YEARS AGO:

B.C. chief forester Larry Pedersen reduced the annual allowable cut

for Tree Farm 18 by five per cent, from 190,000 cubic meters per year to 180,000. "It's inconvenient, of course, but it's not that big that we can't adjust to it," said Slocan forester Dave Poole.

Highways gave final approval to open a new bridge across Spahats Creek on the road to Wells Gray Park. The 18-meter long bridge replaced several culverts that had been washed out in July, 1999.

Telus told MLA Kevin Krueger that it would not be feasible to provide cell phone service to Clearwater and Barriere. It would cost $2 million and needed a community of 5,000 "phone lines."

10

YEARS AGO:

Clearwater's Citizen of the Year for 2005 went to Reg Chambers. Business of the year (Tourism) was Flour Meadows Bakery, (Retail/Service) was Raft River Mini Market, and (Forestry) went to Wadlegger Logging. Public Safety Person for 2005 was Garry Ruston, Youth of the Year was Kelsey Bonner and Employees

of the Year were Jan and Dave Cooper.

Residents of Blue River were expressing concerns over the pending takeover of their Outpost Hospital.

Established by the Red Cross in 1948, it was slated to be put in the hands of the provincial government. Interior Health was making no promises to retain nurse Kathy Chambers, who had served the community since the 1980s.

2015 - 2016 Canada winter forecast: El Nino to promote one of the warmest winters on record AccuWeather Global Weather Center AccuWeather reports the winter of 2015-2016 could end up as one of the warmest winters on record for Canada as a whole, as a strong El Niño persists into the upcoming season.

Well above-normal temperatures to envelope western Canada

Western Canada residents should expect another winter with above- to well above-normal temperatures, as a prevailing westerly flow delivers milder Pacific air across the region.

Compared to last winter, there will be more snow across the coastal mountains of western British Columbia, which includes the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, host of the 2009-2010 Winter Olympics.

Farther east in the Rockies of eastern British Columbia and western Alberta, snowfall will underachieve this winter. The majority of the snow in this region will fall during the first half of the winter before a drier pattern sets up during January and February.

Dry, mild conditions to dominate season in the Prairies

Drier and milder weather will be a dominant theme across the Prairie region this winter as the polar jet stream gets displaced farther to the north.

This pattern will greatly limit the amount and duration of Arctic air masses that normally impact the region.

Average temperatures could be as much as 3 degrees Celsius (5.5 degrees Fahrenheit) above normal this winter in cities such as Edmonton, Calgary and Regina.

Significant snowfall events will be few and far between across the region as the primary storm track will generally remain farther south across the central and southern U.S.

Increased risk for ice storms in Ontario, Quebec

This coming winter will not be nearly as cold as last winter thanks in part to El Niño.

This should lead to a noticeable difference in heating bills compared to last year.

Unfortunately, the winter pattern will also favor an increased risk of ice storms, especially from eastern Ontario to southern Quebec, including the cities of Ottawa and Montreal.

Much of Ontario, including the lake-effect snow belts, will have less snowfall compared to normal, as the main

Honour Concert Kamloops This Week For more than four decades, some of the best secondary-school student musicians in the city have had the chance to show off their talent under the direction of equally talented guest directors.

This year, the SD73 Honour Concert will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 7 p.m. at Sagebrush Theatre.

Conducting the honour band and choir will be Gerald King, head of the music education and graduate wind-conducting program at the University of Victoria, and Fiona Blackburn, a vocalist and professor of choral pedagogy at the University of B.C.

storm track shifts to the south and east during January and February.

As the storm track shifts toward the East Coast later in January and February, there will be an increased risk for significant snowfall events across eastern Quebec, including the Gaspe Peninsula.

Stormy but mild conditions forecast for most of Atlantic Canada

The combination of a strong El Niño and warmer-thanusual sea-surface waters surrounding the region will lead to slightly higher temperatures compared to normal this winter.

The winter could turn snowy again from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island, especially the second half of the winter.

The milder conditions will favor a greater tendency for storms that initially bring snow, but change to ice or rain, especially across Nova Scotia.

Much of Newfoundland will experience a milder winter with a reduced The Wells number of major storms.

Star Trek medicine is becoming closer to reality with a small credit card-sized device using near infrared light to detect possible urinary tract infections. It is an non-invasive tool that will benefit those with spinal cord injuries who can’t detect the normal signs of bladder infection like painful urination. Although not ready for general use yet, it will save healthcare dollars by minimizing lab test costs.

The first alert pendant was marketed in 1974 and worked only in the home. Today these devices are very high-tech and some have GPS capabilities so the wearer can go anywhere and still be found. Some also can detect falls and will call for emergency help even though the button is not pushed. There are many different types available. Do your research for the one that is best for you.

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) symptoms often begin with a tremor in a hand and is most obvious when the hand is at rest or when a person is under stress but seems to disappear during sleep. Another PD symptom is bradykinesia which is the slowing down and loss of spontaneous and automatic movement. Both of these symptoms can be controlled by medications and in some cases deep brain stimulation therapy.

The biggest advance in drug therapy for Parkinson’s Disease occurred decades ago with a few refinements along the way. But the major breakthrough that will halt or slow the progression of the disease is still elusive. But hope never dies.

Work is always going on to discover how to treat major diseases including Parkinson’s. When new drugs come, our pharmacists will know about it.
