Clearwater Secondary School holds emotional graduation event Keith McNeill A total of 44 graduates crossed the floor to receive their certificates during commencement ceremonies at Clearwater Secondary School on Friday evening, June 7. This compares with 43 last year, about 50 the year before, and 40 in 2010. Possibly the most emotional moment during the ceremony was when Brent and Tracy Buck, with Rick and Cathy Dekelver, presented the first Skye and Courtney Buck Memorial Bursary to Katie Bieber and Kayla Brock. It had been a difficult 26 weeks since the young couple’s death, said Brent Buck. He thanked the community for its support. Valedictorians Karly Christian and Cody Gunn amused the audience with humorous tales about their classmates and teachers. The worst escapades were being omitted, they said. "Today represents an important milestone," said principal Darren Coates. Coates introduced the three students who wore gold cords to the ceremony: Jared Bourdeleau, Katie Bieber and Kaitlynn VanderZwan. The cords show that their marks were in the top five per cent of the class. The gold cord recipients for all of School District 73 met a week earlier for an event in Kamloops. In his principal’s address, Coates noted that this was his first graduating class since he took over the top job at the school. Quoting Steve Jobs, he said, "Choose the future you want, not what others want for you." Many people talk without first earning the right to speak, said Mayor John Harwood, who is also the North Thompson school trustee. "Wherever you go and whatever you do, earn the right to speak before you speak," he asked.

He gave as an example a CSS grad who now is in charge of four health sites and is responsible for hundreds of people. School superintendent Terry Sullivan voiced the School District’s appreciation of the years of service by teachers Carol Pastorek and Bruce Whitelaw. Both are retiring this year. Sullivan noted that Whitelaw was to retire several years ago but kept on to keep the local music program going. "This community is unique for the outstanding support it gives to this school," the superintendent said. "It is always a pleasure for me to be here." Teacher Tracy Buck, who was the event’s master of ceremonies, read a letter from former CSS teacher Libby Toman. Toman said she would have been there in person but had to attend her daughter’s graduation with her medical doctor’s degree in Alberta. The former teacher noted that her daughter graduated from CSS and that her success proves that there is nothing that students who have gone through the school cannot accomplish. Carol Pastorek was the students’ choice as guest speaker. Topic of her speech was change. "If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies," she said. "Your life doesn’t get better by chance. It gets better through change. Never see change as a threat. See it as an opportunity." Pastorek noted that she had spent 33 years at the school. "That might indicate that I’m a slow learner," she joked. More than $30,000 in scholarships and bursaries were distributed to the graduates, nearly all of them from local organizations and businesses. For a list of which grad won which scholarship or bursary, see page A23 inside.

Interior Health attend a meeting held to discuss roads and trails in Clearwater? They were there because anything that gets people out walking or cycling is good for health, said District of Clearwater chief administrative officer Leslie Groulx. Interior Health also has an interest in anything that will make local roads safer, she added. The only other rural community that is taking the same integrated approach is in Quebec, Groulx said. The District

recently hired Opus International to develop plans for a roads and trails network for Clearwater. The plan is to include frontage and backage roads, and highway accesses for businesses. The community needs to look not just for today, but for 25 years or more in the future, Groulx said. One thing they learned recently while putting the road maintenance contract for Clearwater out to tender was that the community’s many dead-end roads add

considerably to the cost of maintenance. Adding more loop roads would reduce how much snowplows need to back up, she said.

Community Forest seeks feedback at public meeting Submitted Want to make a difference in your community? You will have two opportunities on Wednesday evening, June 19, by coming to the Community Forest Advisory Committee (CFAC) annual general meeting and provide your ideas and comments regarding Wells Gray Community Forest (WGCF). CFAC is a volunteer group of eight people that encourages and foster the public’s participation in all aspects of the community forest. Our primary function is to liaise between the public and the WGCF board by seeking public input and providing this information to the board. When CFAC receives informa-

tion from the community forest board we provide the public with this information in several ways. Our main opportunity to receive public input and to inform the public about the community forest as at our AGM. CFAC also attends the Clearwater Farmer’s Market during the summer to listen to ideas and gather comments regarding the CF. CFAC was involved with the initialization of the CF newsletter and continues to assist in the updating of the newsletter. CFAC is also engaged in informing the public on community forest activities via the CF website. The community forest has just expanded the website to include a list of policies that guide the planning and operational decisions of the corporation. These poli-

cies can be viewed at www.wgcfc.ca. Also on the website you will find information about the community forest board, the latest financial statement and information in the annual report. Take a look and get to know your community forest. CFAC is looking for new committee members. When you attend the AGM on June 19 consider becoming a committee member. We are always looking for energetic, interested people who want to assist in the management of the local community forest. The AGM is being held at the Resource Center on June 19 starting at 7 p.m. Come to share your ideas, listen to the update on the community forest activities and possibly become a committee member.

for radio station going in Barriere) to come up with this stuff. I very seldom listen to local commercial radio for reasons that any rational intelligent person could come up with. We seldom watch any programs on CBC television for the same reason. Too much advertising – some segments repeated in the same run. I’m sorry, but these are my opinions, and believe me, I’m not alone. I wouldn’t be surprised if you, and many of your colleagues agreed with most of them. If that is true, it’s time to step on the CRTC. I would be more than happy to pay an addition on my taxes to keep the CBC entirely commercialfree.

Bob George, Barriere, B.C.

This editorial is in response to Jim Lamberton's letter to the editor (“Global warming is science fiction,” May 30 issue). Lamberton's letter was in response to an earlier editorial (“Global Warming effects worse than predicted,” May 23 issue). The editorial was about Gwynne Dyer's book, “Climate Wars” and how worsening climate and expanding weapons technology are combining to threaten not just our civilization but the survival of the human species. It mentioned British scientist James Lovelock's prediction that global warming could cause Earth to become a planet of desert and scrub, except for a narrow band of forest around the poles. In his letter, Lamberton said that Dyer and Lovelock are authors and trying to sell their books. What they wrote was not science, he said, but science fiction. Unfortunately, he did not explain why he made that statement. Did he mean they were fear-mongering and motivated by greed? If that were the case, they would have made a good deal more money by joining the global warming deniers. Comparing the resources available to who oppose global warming with those of the fossil fuel industry is like (to borrow a phrase) putting a ball bearing into Yankee Stadium. The editorial mentioned the Permian-Triassic

event, when extreme climate change caused the creation of “Canfield oceans”, resulting in mass extinctions. Lamberton's response was, “Rumor has it we know this 'fact' because archeologists unearthed slate tables stating that, and they were signed by Dr. Suzuki and Al Gore!” Humor has its place, but should not be used as a substitute for a valid argument. Sarcasm and ridicule also are not valid arguments. The physics of global warming are well understood. We know that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. And we know that the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has been constantly rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution. Global warming deniers have a simple question to answer: If you believe that global warming is not happening, what physical process is preventing it? If the temperature in your bed was just right with two blankets, and you now have three, why do you believe you are not getting warmer? No reasonably intelligent and sane person would leave his or her grandchildren inside a locked car on a hot, sunny day. Yet that is precisely what we are doing through our refusal to adequately deal with global warming. As we said in our earlier editorial, we need to start now to implement realistic solutions to global warming, such as a world-wide carbon tax.

Rambling Man sets the record straight Editor, The Times

Re: Time to set the record straight I am very disappointed that the Times changed the title of my May 30 letter, resulting in a totally different meaning. My header was “Global warming as I see it”. The Times changed it to “Global warming is science fiction”. I think we all know that that is not my opinion. I find it very frustrating when someone tries to put words into my mouth. The only good result of the change was it put words into Dr. Bob’s mouth as well! Dear Mr. Docenzie (may I call you Bob?), thank you for your wonderful response to my letter. I didn’t realize that English has so many big words! Most of the words you used were larger than “mayonnaise”! After two hours and several blisters from thumbing through Webster’s Dictionary, I managed

to decipher all you wrote. Hopefully, this won’t happen, but I think in the wrong hands your letter could be a form of abuse! Picture this: a student of ESL (English as a Second Language, for those who don’t have an escalated vocabulary like Dr. Bob and myself), elated that he completed his courses with flying colours, buys a newspaper, goes to Tim Horton’s and buys a coffee. Hey, coffee and a newspaper is the “Canadian way”. As he sits and has a sip of coffee, he opens the paper to Dr. Bob’s letter. Immediately he realizes that everything he learned in ESL classes is insufficient! In a massive panic attack, he bolts from the coffee shop (abandoning both his paper and coffee) and is destined for a lifetime of Prozac! I once gave a friend a bumper sticker that said, “I’m not a doctor, but I’ll have a look.” After reading your letter, I decided

I had to make a diagnosis. I believe” you suffer from “Post Retirement Syndrome”. One of its first symptoms is an urge to write letters to the editor! The syndrome is not fatal but, if left unattended, can lead to something a lot more serious: Bonglioitis. (Hey, Bob, my words are getting bigger!). Bonglioitis is a condition where the iron in your blood turns to lead in your butt. The only cure: go high in the mountains and meditate for a year. Oh, by the way, when you are up there, if you happen to see Wes Morden, tell him I said hello. It will be easy to recognize him; he’ll be wearing a bright orange shirt and banging his head against a wall. That’s not chanting you hear. That’s Wes still reeling from the outcome of May’s provincial election.

Question

? of the Week

Do you think your taxes are too high?

John Marston and Bevan Hill, (Australia):

We don't care about taxes because we don't pay any. We're retired.

Holly Peel (with Mikayla): Yes, now. They've just all been raised.

Joe Templeton (with Ivy):

Of course they are. We're taxed on everything, and then we're taxed on our taxes.

Cash not legal tender at Eco Depot Editor, The Times:

I wrote the following letter to the TNRD on April 27, 2013, and have not had a response as yet. I followed up with two more letters addressed to Dennis LaBrie, operations supervisor, and Jamie Vieira, TNRD environmental services May 20, with no reply. I would have hoped that our TNRD representatives would have also gotten back with some solution or answers to the questions posed. What is interesting that they have now changed the information on their website to show that no eco depots take cash except Heffley Creek so perhaps they did read my letter? Dear Sirs/Madame; Please accept this letter as my formal notice and letter of complaint in regards to the payment methods accepted by the Louis Creek Eco-Depot. On Saturday April 27, I took a load of garbage to the Louis Creek EcoDepot. Upon arrival I was asked my preferred method of payment. I told the attendant cash. It was then stated to me, “We don’t take cash.” I had to drive into Barriere to try and find an eco-ard. The two places listed to have these eco-

Letters Policy

cards are AG Foods and the District of Barriere. AG Foods did not have any and stated they haven’t had them for awhile, and of course being a Saturday the District office was closed. I then tracked down my wife to get my credit card and returned to the eco depot. After dumping my garbage, I attempted to pay with my credit card. I only use it in emergencies and was unfamiliar with the pin number, so it didn’t work. I do not have a debit card, and the nearest place to maybe find an eco card I was told by the attendant was Heffley General Store. I was not allowed to pay cash after the service was rendered, which is legal Canadian tender. I actually had to borrow an eco card from someone else to pay my debt. This is the most ridiculous payment system I have ever seen. Here are some facts that TNRD may or may not be aware of: Fact: In Canada, coins produced by the Royal Mint and notes issued by the Bank of Canada are legal tender. Private bank deposits are not legal tender in the U.S. or Canada, nor are credit cards or traveller’s cheques.

Fact: It is true that no federal law mandates that a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services not yet provided. Fact: However, if the service has been rendered, legal tender is by law to be accepted unless it is payment by coins where the currency act has stated certain restriction in the amount allowed to be paid by coin. So, by not accepting my legal tender, after the service was rendered, even after every effort was made to make payment under your payment rules, was illegal. I was told by our district TNRD representative that not taking cash was a WorkSafeBC mandate. If this were true ... why then does every other regional district in British Columbia state on their respective websites that their methods of payment include cash? Your own website states that you take cash as a payment at this eco-depot. What would happen if your total amount exceeded your available balance on the eco-card, and all you had was cash? Keep in mind the service is rendered, because the

total amount due is not calculated until you go on the scale and then come back empty to be re-weighed. What will happen if a person’s credit card or debit card failed to work, but they could satisfy the debt with cash? Again keep in mind the service has been rendered. If you are worried about being “robbed” it seems everything is so electronic this would hardly be an issue, especially if there was a money drop system installed. If you cannot find staff that can make change and handle cash money, hire new staff. If you feel your staff cannot be trusted with cash ... hire new staff. Perhaps it might be prudent to contact the regional districts of Central Okanagan, Fraser-Fort George, Columbia-Shuswap, Comox Valley, Cowichan Valley, and the rest ... to see how they manage to have cash payments available in their facilities. Perhaps also it might be advisable to consider that not ALL people have bank cards or credit cards, by choice, or not. This is a public service that should be available to the public including the citizens who still work on the system of cash.

The Times welcomes all letters to the editor. We do, however, reserve the right to edit for brevity, clarity, legality and good taste. While all letters must be signed (and have a telephone number for verification purposes) upon submission, writers may elect to withhold their names from publication in special circumstances.

Sue Varley:

Absolutely. I find that for us, the amount of tax we pay doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because we're low income.

No, my husband and I are both seniors and we're in an older home, so it's not too bad.

“When you need us, we’re close by”

I use my credit card for emergencies; I do not consider dumping a load of garbage for the total sum of $6.60 an emergency.

Clearwater Rotary Club celebrates 20 years Kay Knox In 1993, Wayne Leckie and Bruce Reichart, who had both been involved in this international organisation elsewhere, started Rotary in Clearwater. “We began gathering soon after Christmas,” Tim Panko said. As well as Tim, Eileen Sedgwick and Jean Nelson were part of the charter group, inaugurated in June, 1993. Along with Fritz and Ursula Schaer, who joined just a month later, these people have been members for the whole 20 years. The decision was made at that time for it to be a 7 a.m. breakfast meeting, with the Wells Gray Inn providing good food and a convenient location – and this continues. All have stayed involved because of benefits provided to our own community, ways of helping world-wide, and

Some of the original members of Clearwater Rotary gather in the Wells Gray Inn 20 years ago to celebrate the club's inauguration. Picture are (l-r) Wayne Leckie, Terry Rogers, Doug Hindle, Jack Braaksma, Bruce Florence, Judy Panko, Ian Grieve, Eileen Sedgwick, and Bruce Reichart. Photo submitted

the camaraderie within this dedicated organisation. “I joined Rotary because the son of my friend went to Finland on the Student Exchange Program,” said Jean Nelson. “It was such an excellent experience for him that I wanted to see that happen in Clearwater.” And she does! “I wear my pin with pride,” Jean added, “and enjoy conferences and out-of-town meetings

with other clubs.” Eileen Sedgwick commented on Rotary International’s goal of ending polio on this planet – which, with India now being poliofree, is amazingly close to being achieved. “An iron lung was set up in Safety Mart’s parking lot, and I explained how my aunt, stricken with that dreadful disease, had used a rocker bed during the day while an iron lung kept her

breathing at night. Young people, having no knowledge of this treatment which kept patients alive, were startled to see that awkward apparatus.” Like Leckie and Reichart, Fritz and Ursula Schaer with their Swiss background, had learned about Rotary before moving to Clearwater. As other members of this local group do, they spoke of their satisfaction in helping with community projects like the gazebo at Dr. Helmcken Hospital. Indeed, the list of local accomplishments is lengthy, beginning with the building of sand volleyball courts at the high school. Chad’s Memorial Park was developed in cooperation with the volunteer Fire Department; Rotary Sports Park was expanded from the initial Skateboard Park with District of Clearwater; muscle and money were provided to improve

the boat ramp and beach area of Dutch Lake. Fish habitat was restored at the Fish Hatchery; and, along with many other volunteers, members planted trees on the old Camp 2 site. All age groups have benefited over those 20 years. Gift baskets are given to seniors at Christmas and, before the transit bus service began, a taxi service used to be funded to help needy people arrive at medical appointments on time. Scholarships are given out to Grade 12 students. A recent literacy project placed 25 electronic tablets each in Clearwater Secondary and Raft River Elementary schools, with funds coming from the local club, School District 73, PAC, Wells Gray Community Forest and Rotary International. The May Day Parade has been run by Rotary for the past 18 years, while the Christmas Tree Light-up is

another popular event that happens thanks to efforts of Rotary members. Of course, money has to be raised for all of these to be possible, and Clearwater Rotary is grateful to all who give and have given donations, and have supported the club by supporting its events. Classy “Dancing for Diamonds” was an elegant event giving real diamonds for prizes, along with Casino night and Oktoberfest getting folks into the “spirit” of things and having fun. A Duck Race featuring numbered plastic ducks and golf tournaments have been popular, while Ice Man Days and Guess When Rotary Richard’s Clock Will Stop are part of winter activities on Dutch Lake. Now in its third year, the Giant Flea Market helps all to “recycle” useful objects. Again working with other volunteers, past and present Rotary

members have assisted with community ventures such as Pitch In, cleaning up roadsides, as well as the Hospice Bike Run, Raise-a-Reader Day, and popular canoe Regatta. When Haiti was devastated by an earthquake and part of Japan was hit by a huge tsunami, Clearwater Rotary connected with the Shelter Box program that has been organised in Britain. Money donated by Rotarians and many others paid for complete kits containing a familysize tent, equipment and drinking water to be sent to the afflicted countries. With 22 actively involved and enthusiastic members at present, signs are sure that this group will be busy in this community and beyond for 20-plus more years. Speakers are often arranged to keep Rotary members in touch with local happenings. While some folk don’t seem to know what Rotary actually “does”, the club has a good reputation around town. Many former members still live in Clearwater, actively contributing to the community in many ways. From near and far, it is hoped that lots will come to the Invitational Anniversary dinner this June – which should be a great celebration and gabfest!

30

YEARS AGO:

A $2.1 million airstrip located east of Spahats Creek Park near Clearwater could be a financially and politically feasible project, according to Thompson-Nicola Regional District economic advisor Rino Elverhoy. Much of the cost of the 4,000 foot strip could be offset by grants and the sale of timber. Members of the local flying club were enthusiastic about the proposal. An honorary Citizen of the Year scroll was presented to 99-yearold Nettie De Witt, a resident of the area for 51 years. The presentation was made by Reg Small, a leading figure in Clearwater himself for many years. Cariboo College hosted 75 regional business, industry and community leaders at a Day of Discovery conference to discuss ideas to boost the economy of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Proposals included snaring visitors going to Vancouver’s Expo ’86 and Calgary’s 1988 Winter Olympics.

25

YEARS AGO:

TNRD Area A direc-

tor Paul Caissie had the regional district send a letter to Premier Vander Zalm urging paving the road all the way to Wells Gray Park. Caissie said he would like the “goat trail” to this world class facility improved, and threatened to “chain myself to a flagpole at Victoria.”

20

YEARS AGO: Close to 60 adults out of a population of 250 attended a meeting to discuss community policing in Blue River. “It’s peer pressure,” stated Sgt. Terry Grimm, “not a vigilante group. If we can get together and establish the moral fibre of the community, the community can look after itself for a lot of things.” Continued vandalism at Dutch Lake Park could force its closure, a letter to the editor warned. The letter was from Marina DeNeef, chairperson of the TNRD Parks, TV and Cemetery committee. Picnic tables had been burned and bottles broken in the public areas.

15

YEARS AGO:

A Vancouver man rolled his Jeep down

an embankment seven kilometers north of Vavenby. The man was taken to hospital with minor injuries, his two cats were ejected from the vehicle and fled the scene. A decline in the forestry sector, particularly the silviculture industry, caused unemployment in the area to rise.

Clearwater council gave the go-ahead to apply for $1.9 million in federal gas funding to help pay for a sewer extension to the area south and west of Dutch Lake. The funding would pay 2/3 of the projected $2.8 million cost. Affected property owners would pay a large share of the local cost. David Shearing, convicted of killing six members of the Johnson-Bentley family in 1982, applied for parole for a second time. The former local resident had been sentenced to life with no eligibility of parole for 25 years. An article and photos submitted by Robson Beaudry gave a taste of his life during two years spent studying in Hong Kong.

Drivers asked to slow down for the cone zone Times Staff Construction of a roundabout on Highway 5 in Clearwater is now underway and that makes even more relevant a recent media release from the Work Zone Safety Alliance. According to the alliance, tens of thousands of individuals in B.C. work at the side of the road as part of their job, which puts them at risk of being seriously or fatally injured by distracted, aggressive or speeding drivers.

“When a vehicle enters the ‘Cone Zone’ and hits a roadside worker, the resulting injuries are often serious, and in some cases fatal,” says Mark Ordeman, WorkSafeBC industry and labour services manager. “These injuries should not be happening – roadside workers have a right to a safe workplace, just like every other worker in B.C.” June 6 marked the launch of the “Cone Zone” campaign, an annual driver awareness initiative aimed at increasing public awareness about the dangers faced by

roadside workers and telling drivers to slow down and pay attention when driving through a “Cone Zone.” Even with safety measures in place, injuries and near misses experienced by roadside workers in B.C. are still a reality. On a daily basis, roadside workers continue to encounter preoccupied and hostile drivers who are speeding and swerving. “Cone Zones” are used for many different kinds of work. Municipal workers, landscapers, emergency and enforcement workers, telecommunication workers, and

Meeting planned to discuss renos to Avola schoolhouse Eleanor Deckert Thompson Headwaters services committee is proposing major changes to the Avola log schoolhouse – to its playground, interior and exterior. Avola residents urgently want to be consulted in the decision making process and don't know how to be heard. The residents are scrambling to gather letters in order to have input at an upcoming meeting of the Thompson Headwaters services committee. From 3:30 – 4:15 p.m., June 18, at the Avola log schoolhouse, Thompson Headwaters director Willow MacDonald and Thompson-Nicola Regional District services coordinator Sherri Madden will show three proposals for new playground equipment, paint, stain and chinking colour samples for the interior and exterior of the building. The services committee meeting scheduled at 4:30 will be when the committee plans to vote. The nine-member services committee seems to be ready for the final vote on these upgrades, but the residents have not been informed or asked for input, and many feel anxious, frustrated and confused. Some residents fear that the playground equipment could be cut up to sell as scrap metal. They feel that doing this without exploring options is hard to accept. Three appointed members of the services committee reside in Avola, but informa-

tow-truck drivers, as well as road construction and maintenance workers all use the “Cone Zone” to protect their workplaces. Roadside work increases over the summer months. Simple acts can save a life. Slow down, pay attention and respect the “Cone Zone.” The “Cone Zone” campaign is supported by the Work Zone Safety Alliance, WorkSafeBC and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

tion from the committee or messages to the committee have not been satisfactory, many residents feel. Also, many residents do not feel that 45 minutes of consultation is enough to make an adequate decision to preserve the historic log schoolhouse building. Director MacDonald explained the structure of the TNRD and THSC, and the process to

communicate with the committee during a casual get-together in Avola on Monday afternoon, June 3. While campaigning for the director's position, MacDonald had pledged to the people of Avola that she would come to the community to host a coffee hour as often as possible for questions and answers, and information updates. At a time when tourism, the environ-

ment, local history and old-time traditional skills are becoming more highly valued, the handcrafted schoolhouse belongs to the history of our valley. Will a delegation and a handful of letters be enough to influence the board and postpone the decision until there is time to seek consultation with experts regarding the best way to preserve this historic building?

On May 31, the Clearwater RCMP was notified of the possibility of a drunk driver. The officer on duty waited for the driver, however, it was learned that he had taken a back route out of town. The information was forwarded to the Barriere officer. The driver provided two samples into the alcohol screening device and both resulted in a “Fail” reading. The driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. A small of marijuana was also seized.

Diphtheria, a serious, contagious disease, has largely been eradicated with only two cases being reported this century. A German physiologist, Emil von Behring, won the Nobel Prize in 1901 for his work in developing an anti-diphtheria vaccine. Allergies are common at this time of year. Can you outgrow an allergy? About 20% of people do. Many children outgrow their allergies to milk and eggs by the age of five. If you have an allergic child, check with an allergy specialist who can test for allergies and tell you the severity of the allergies your child has.

It’s ironic that society equates a tanned body with good health. However, as Health Canada says, ‘there’s no such thing as a healthy tan’. Tanning is a sign of skin damage and excessive exposure to the sun can cause skin cancers in the future. If you want a quick, tanned look, you can try those quick tan lotions. Remember, they do not protect you from the sun. They are just cosmetic colourants. For advice on allergy and sunscreen products, talk to our pharmacists.

Celebrating Father’s Day in Canada In Canada, Father’s Day is celebrated with lot of enthusiasm and fanfare. Since, the tradition of celebrating Fathers Day moved to Canada from US, Fathers Day in Canada is also celebrated on third

Sunday of June. Just as in US, people in Canada too wear roses to express gratitude for their father. Traditionally, if the person is wearing red rose, it symbolizes the person’s father is alive. Likewise, white rose means that the person’s father is no more. Children in Canada express affection and honor for their dad by presenting them cards, flowers and chocolates. In modern times,

several other gifts of love including neckties, shirts, electronic gadgets, stationery items etc are also gifted to father by loving children. Another noticeable trend about Fathers Day celebration in Canada is that apart from their biological father people wish “Happy Father’s Day” to their grandfathers, stepfathers, foster father, uncles or any other man who is as affectionate and loving towards them as a father.

Immense popularity of Fathers Day festival has turned the occasion commercial to a significant degree. Days before the festival markets wear a festival look as gift and card sellers try to lure the people and harp on the emotional significance of the occasion. Dining out with family is another popular Fathers Day tradition in Canada. No wonder, restaurants and eating joints witness a bumper rush on the occasion.

Treat Dad to something special on Father's Day

Spending time with dad is the best gift of all

Story of Father's Day

Father's Day is a beautiful festival that acknowledges and appreciates the important role played by a father in raising the child and consequently building a stronger society. Though fathers have been revered at all times by civilizations across the globe ironically what was missing until the last century was the official recognition of the significance of fathers

in ones life. Father's Day story is the tale of realization of the need for a Father's Day festival primarily by Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd of Washington. The story narrates Sonora's unflagging struggle to officially set a day to honor all fathers. Thanks to Sonora, today Fathers Day is celebrated in a large number of countries around the world.

The beginning of Father's Day story Historians have recorded that there was a tradition to celebrate Father's Day even thousands of years ago. Their study say that 4,000 years ago in

Babylon a son called Elmesu carved a father's day message on a clay card. In his message Elmesu wished his father a long and healthy life. There is no knowl-

edge as to what happened to this father son duo but it is believed that several countries retained the custom of celebrating Father's Day.

Genesis of Father's Day in modern society to recognize the hardships her father must have gone through while bringing up his six children alone. When Sonora was 16, her mother had died during childbirth. Sonora's father a Civil War veteran by the name of William Jackson Smart raised six children including the newborn on his own. Sonora questioned that if there is a day to recognize mothers then why is not there a day to honor fathers? Many people laughed and joked at Sonora's idea. But her will did not droop. She began a sincere campaign lobbying for

The tradition of celebrating Father's Day as seen today originated in the last century. Though there are several people who are credited for furthering the cause of Father's Day, there is far greater acceptance for Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd's contribution. A doting daughter from Spokane, Washington, Ms Dodd is recognized as the Founder or Mother of the Father's Day Festival. Inception of the Father's Day took place in Sonora's mind when she happened to hear a Mother's Day sermon in 1909. Sonora, who was 27 then, had begun

the cause of Father's Day. Her hard work began to show signs of success when Spokane celebrated its first Father's Day on June 19, 1910 with the support of Spokane Ministerial Association and the local Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). To pay tribute to her affectionate father, Sonora wished that Father's Day be celebrated on her father's birthday on June 5, but it so happened that there was not enough time for preparation and the day came to be celebrated on third Sunday in the month of June.

The noble idea of celebrating Father's Day became quite popular in US so much so that President Woodrow Wilson approved of the festival in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge too supported the idea but it was President Lyndon Johnson who signed a Presidential Proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father's Day in 1966. Then in 1972, President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June.

Fathers Day celebration in present time Father's Day has become a hugely popular festival. World over people thank their father and pay tribute to them. Most commonly chil-

dren gift Father's Day cards and flowers to their father. Neckties are a popular gift on the occasion of Father's Day. Due to the tradition of

Lisalee sings at important B.C. ceremony Keith McNeill

Lisalee Campbell of Clearwater sings during a ceremony held Friday in Vancouver to name the members of B.C.’s new cabinet. Black Press photo

Clearwater’s Lisalee Campbell, age 11, knocked the socks off the assembled dignitaries when she sang a soulful rendition of O’ Canada to open a ceremony held to name the members of B.C.’s new cabinet. The event was held Friday afternoon at the Vancouver Trade and Convention centre. “She was terrific,” said one person who was at the ceremony. “Did her own thing and really owned the moment … strung out the anthem like every pro does.” Campbell had sung for Christy Clark when the premier visited Clearwater last November. Apparently she made an impression. Early last week a member of the premier’s staff phoned the young singer’s parents and asked if she could perform during Friday’s naming ceremony. The family drove to the Coast on Thursday. Erica’s Emporium in Clearwater provided a blue summer dress for Lisalee to wear for the event. Lisalee and the other members of the Campbell family planned to sing for patients at Vancouver General Hospital while on the Coast. They also intend to perform for patients at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwater after their return.

Study shows increasing water demand in valley Vera Walker Ted van der Guille, senior engineer with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, presented a completed Agriculture Land Use Inventory and Water Demand Model at the Community Resource Center on Wednesday, May 29. The Agriculture Water Demand Model (AWDM) was developed to help secure our future food supply by forecasting present and future agricultural water demands. The calculations in the model were based on soil texture, crop type, irrigation system type, property by property water use and climate data. As gas prices rise, we’ll be importing less food products (grains, fruit, etc) from faraway countries such as China, Chile and Mexico. Knowing that B.C. can support its inhabitants, changes must be made. Deletion of lands from the

Agricultural Land Reserve must be better policed and supervised to protect our future. Those of us who can and will voice their knowledge and choices can bring

about these positive changes. The calculations found in the AWDM are available for study. Contact www.clearwaterbcchamber.com for more information.

Sports Crombie wins two fi rsts at Okanagans No Family Fish Day at Hallamore Keith McNeill The Free Family Fish Day event usually held at Hallamore Lake on the Father’s Day weekend has been cancelled for this year, organizers say. Reason given for the cancellation was difficulty in getting enough volunteers. “The hatchery staff is busy with fish releases in the Prince George area and we couldn’t find anyone else to help with the Family Fishing Day this year,” said one organizer. “We hope to have more volunteers for next year’s event.” Other Family Fishing Weekend events are going ahead across the province

Times Staff

Students from Clearwater Secondary School achieved some impressive results during the Okanagan Track and Field Meet in Kelowna on Wednesday, May 15. Grade 10 student Jules Crombie had a fantastic day. He won first in long jump with a personal best of 5.55 metres, first in 200 m with a time of 24.63 seconds, and second in 100 m with a time of 12.10 seconds “He’s amazing,” said one parent. “Aiden Sim placed second in javelin also pretty amazing,” the parent added. Because Sim is in Grade 11 (Grade 11s and 12s can go on to provincials), his second earned him the honor of going on to provincials. Sim also placed seventh in 200 m with a time of 25.70 seconds. Callum MacLeod, Grade

10, placed fifth in 400 m with 1:02.00 seconds, and took fifth place in 800 m, at 2:26.40 seconds (a personal best). Results for Grade 10 student Jacob Hurst were 100 m, 14.70 seconds; 200 m, 30.19 seconds, and long jump, 3.92 metres. Grade 12 student Jessie Ludtke took fifth place in the 100 m, with 12.50 seconds, sixth place in 200 m at 25.50 seconds, and fifth place in 400 m at 56.35 seconds. Grade 8 student Connor Dee took fifth place in javelin with a throw of 24.67 m (a personal best). Coach Dan Coleman ran the after-school track and field club four days a week, Mondays through Thursdays. He also attended all the track meets on on the children’s behalf, both elementary and high school. For a photo of the team, see page A24.

There are a number of different websites on the Internet for the avid genealogist – some with lists of family trees, others with other interesting tidbits of information. One such site is findagrave.com. This site lists cemeteries around the world, each with a list of everyone buried there. It is a ‘work in progress’, and relies on individuals updating and adding new names, both of cemeteries and of those interred. The Barriere cemetery is listed, as is the cemetery in Little Fort, and the cemetery in Darfield. The one in Louis Creek (near the old Tolko mill site) is not listed. The site also allows anyone to add pictures of the people listed,

Faith anchors many in life’s storms In May a Church of Christ building in Moore, Oklahoma, was missed by the first devastating twister to strike that city, and was being used as a relief center when it was struck by the second tornado to hit the same city in less than two weeks. One volunteer relief worker safely rode out the storm in his camping trailer, which was parked the church lot. The trailer was destroyed but he was safe. The volunteers in the building when the tornado struck and the many people who left their cars on the nearby Interstate highway and sheltered in the church building, all escaped uninjured. While it was previously unheard of for a tornado to strike the same city twice in so short of time, it

happened in Moore. Referring to Christian faith, an old hymn reads: “We have an anchor....”. The cloudburst we had last week reminded me of just how quickly downpours, both figuratively and literally, can come upon us. That downpour had a bit of punch with wind and hail, but is was nothing compared to what parts of the United States have suffered through lately. The tornados formed in some of those storms struck close to where we have friends and family.

There are numerous ways in which our world can be destroyed. Storms and wars have destroyed the world of many people. We are not spared hurt. People in Clearwater have lost

loved ones recently, and their lives are upset. We have people in our church who are very seriously ill, and it is painful to even see them going through what they are enduring. Their world and hopes are drastically changed. Yet, through all this we see and hear testimonies of faith and assurance in God’s greater plan. That faith anchors us. It should cause us to view the world’s turmoil as something that will soon pass.

Wells Gray Community Forest Corporation Community Forest Advisory Committee

Annual General Public Meeting

Wednesday, June 19, 2013 Location: Community Resource Center, 7:00 PM The Community Forest Advisory Committee (CFAC) is a volunteer body, which encourages and fosters the public’s participation in all aspects of the Wells Gray Community Forest Corporation (WGCFC).

It is one of the mechanisms for the community’s participation and involvement in the management and operation of the Community Forest. Members of the public are invited to the Annual General Meeting of the Advisory Committee on June 19, 2013. The purpose of this meeting is two-fold: to provide information about the Community Forest and to hear your views on any aspect of the Community Forest, and secondly to hold an election for new Executive for CFAC.

Members will be carefully tidying up the headstones and taking pictures of them to add to the findagrave website. As there are over 250 individuals interred there, and the other nearby cemeteries as well, the group will be having a number of outings to the cemetery during the summer months. Anyone interested in helping is welcome to join them. The Genealogy group usually meets on the first and third Friday of each month, 6 – 7 p.m. at the Barriere Library.

Come on out and join us for a fun-filled summer with themed weeks like Wild Wild West, Pirates Ahoy and Under The Big Top. We are ready to spend our summer doing crafts, playing games, conducting science experiments and making a variety of homemade items like ice cream, lip balm and insect repellent. We also plan a few field trips including visiting a farm and taking a hike. With so much planned it will

be impossible not to have a blast this summer! Kids Summer Fun Daze Do you like wet and messy play? Do you enjoy crafts and games? Then come along to our kids Summer Fun Daze Program. We are open every morning and will be having a tonne of fun with children under six years. There will be something for everyone with local ‘celebrities’ popping in to participate in activities and lead games, some field trips and amazing themes. Kids Summer Fun Daze is for children aged three to five years and will take place at Building Blocks Daycare – 612 Park Drive, Clearwater, every morning from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. Cost will be $75 per week ($60 for weeks where there is a statutory holiday closure).

She looks forward to meeting all the children and having lots of fun this summer. Terra Leier has lived in our community for the last 25 years and during that time has been involved with children of all ages through many different programs.

with children under six. She is excited to be providing lots of fun filled activities for local families this summer. Keli Bjorkman is relatively new to our

community; she arrived in 2010 but has quickly developed strong ties to families with young children. She has lots of energy and brings with her enthusiasm,

great ideas and experience (she has four of her own children!). Keli is excited to be a part of Kids Summer Fun Daze. For more informa-

Bid to kill daylight-saving doesn’t see light of day Kamloops This Week In the end, it all comes down to what Washington state wants. A Kamloops Chamber of Commerce resolution calling on the B.C. government to scrap daylight-saving time was voted down at the annual general meeting of B.C. chambers, held in Naniamo on the weekend of May 25. Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Bob Dieno said chambers in the Lower Mainland balked at the idea, even though research he has found shows the twice-annual time shift can lead to an increase in accidents and health problems. “They didn’t want to be out of time with Washington at any time during the year at this point,” Dieno said. “That was basically the reason, they didn’t want to be out of sync between Washington, Oregon, California for the Lower Mainland. “That was too big of a trading partner.” However, other policy proposals put forward by the local chamber were more successful. One, which asks the federal government to make green fees eligible for a tax deduction when golf is played for

business purposes, will get worked on by the B.C. Chamber of Commerce’s policy committee and will be submitted to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce later this year. The other three resolutions

Kamloops submitted were adopted by the B.C. Chamber and will go into their policy manual, which is forwarded on to provincial lawmakers. Kamloops’ other resolutions called on the province to create a carbon-tax exemption for fuel bought by farmers and called for the reduction in the impact of the carbon tax more generally. The board also passed a locally drafted resolution asking the government to fund arts and culture in B.C. on a three-year cycle and bring their level of cultural funding more in line with national averages. The resolution, drafted in co-operation with Western Canada Theatre, got broad support at the AGM. Dieno said those resolutions have a lot of clout in Victoria. “If you would to talk to (KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA) Terry Lake or (Kamloops-South Thompson MLA) Todd Stone or any MLA and ask them what’s one of the first policy manuals they read going into government at the start of the year, it’s the B.C. Chamber book,” Dieno said. Some previous policies from the chamber book have passed as worded, without any tweaking from the province, Dieno said.

Cellphone code caps roaming fees, offers early exit By Jeff Nagel, Black Press Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges. The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2. Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data

overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more. "Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. "We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear." He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users. “It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and

are clear," Lawford said. Individuals and small business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price. A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract. "The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two

years," CRTC chair JeanPierre Blais said. It's not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules. "We already do a lot of what is in the new code," Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement. He said Telus replaced contract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already offers phone unlocking and a cap on international data roaming. "We are thus well positioned to support this new code," Hall said, calling it "a strong and friendly set of protections."

More publicly funded vaccines available through pharmacists Ministry of Health VICTORIA – British Columbians can now access a wide variety of publicly funded vaccines from their local pharmacist, giving them increased access and choice, Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid announced on April 12. "Pharmacists are a very important and valuable component of our healthcare system," said MacDiarmid. "With this expansion, eligible patients will have increased access and

choice when it comes to protecting themselves and their families from diseases such as tetanus, measles and hepatitis." Pharmacists already play a key role in providing immunizations to protect British Columbians aged five years and older from diseases such as influenza, pneumococcal pneumonia, pertussis and HPV (the virus that can lead to some cervical cancers). The additional vaccines that pharmacists are now able to provide include: * Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).

* Hepatitis A and B – especially at pharmacies in communities where risks of infection are high. * Tetanus/Diphtheria. * Varicella (chicken pox) and Hepatitis B – as supplements to the school-based program. * HPV (the virus that can lead to some cervical cancers) for women born in 1991 – 1993. * Pneumococcal polysaccharide, for seniors over 65 years of age, or people at increased risk of pneumococcal disease, including those with chronic diseases. * Meningococcal C Conjugate vaccine. * Pertussis vaccine.

"This expansion of available publicly funded vaccines is a positive move and makes effective use of pharmacists' extensive training and skills," said Bob Nakagawa, registrar with the College of Pharmacists of BC. "We know that vaccines help save lives and prevent illness, and by making vaccines easier and more convenient for British Columbians to receive, we will help to ensure as many people are protected as possible." Pharmacists must undergo additional training to be authorized to give vaccines.

There are now more than 2,000 pharmacists authorized to provide vaccines throughout British Columbia, with more added all the time. Since 2009, authorized pharmacists have had access to vaccine products for sale and administration within the private payer system, and limited access to publicly funded vaccines. With this change, authorized pharmacists will be able to administer almost all publicly funded vaccines. To learn more about B.C.'s immunization program, visit ImmunizeBC.ca

Obituary IN LOVING MEMORY

Enid Margaret Colborne April 25, 1925 - June 7, 2013

With great regret, we announce the passing of our mother, Enid Margaret Colborne (nee Stearns), who received her well-deserved “Angel Wings’ on June 7 after a short illness. She is predeceased by her parents, Charlie and Millie Stearns, our father Sherman [her husband of 50 years], and by her brother, Vern Stearns. Mom is survived by her three children, Larry (Letta Mae), Marilyn Collison (Bill) and Ron (Tina). She has seven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren. and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Her grandchildren, Tim, Donna, Jennifer, Tyson, Shannon, Melinda and Brett, considered themselves the luckiest kids in the world to call her Gramma, and to be loved by her and Grampa. Their house (or motor home, cabin, or wherever) was the scene of much silliness and chaos, with Gramma (or the Sergeant Major as she was referred to by Grampa) in charge, mainly of the silliness. Next to her family, Mom’s great loves were music, being with Dad in the great outdoors, travelling, community involvement, photography, and later on, painting with oils and acrylics. She shared her musical gift her whole life willingly, as long as she wasn’t in the spotlight. A memorial service will be held in her honour at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 16, 2013 at the Clearwater Baptist Church with a reception to follow at 3 p.m. in the Wells Gray Inn Banquet Room. The service may be seen online, and condolences sent to the family, at WWW. NorthThompsonFuneral.com. As our parents were enthusiastic supporters of minor hockey, we request that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Clearwater & District Minor Hockey Association (CDMHA), #2 – 428 Murtle Crescent, Clearwater, B.C. V0E 1N1, to the attention of Donna Akers. Arrangements entrusted to North Thompson Funeral Services, Clearwater, BC, 250-674-3030.

B.C. should ask for pipeline tax Jeff Nagel – Black Press

A federal NDP MP predicts Kinder Morgan will have to offer B.C. and affected communities hundreds of millions of dollars a year if it wants its Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning to be seriously considered. Kennedy Stewart, the federal NDP’s science and technology critic, said he expects the company to make a low-ball offer to satisfy the B.C. government’s demand for a share of benefits to compensate for the risk. The Burnaby-Douglas MP estimates Kinder Morgan stands to earn $5 per barrel of oil it transports, so company profits on the 890,000-barrel-per-day dual pipelines could top $1.5 billion a year. An offer to B.C. of a few cents per barrel shipped for a provincial benefits fund supporting first nations, affected communities and cleanup response measures would be far too low, Stewart said. But he said a much more generous figure would have to be considered. “If Kinder Morgan said $2.50 a barrel – half of the revenue would go to the province – you would take that back to the community and talk to the community about it,” Stewart said. It’s one of the first suggestions from the ranks of pipeline opponents that a sufficiently attractive offer could trump environmental worries. “I’m against this project. But I think you always have to keep your mind open when you’re looking at economics and then go back to your community with particular offers.” Stewart said he didn’t pick the $2.50 per barrel figure – he says it arose through conversations with his constituents, who are seeking a series of commitments from Kinder Morgan, including assurances that no homes be expropriated, that temporary foreign workers won’t build the pipeline and that no construction will begin without local referenda. Stewart noted he’s not in any position to

negotiate, adding re-elected Premier Christy Clark will have to decide what price is fair. “This is where this conversation is heading – how much does Kinder Morgan have to pay to put this pipeline through communities.” Ben West, a ForestEthics campaigner opposed to transport of bitumen from the Alberta oil sands, said he was surprised by Stewart’s comments. “There is no amount of money that would make this a good idea,” West said. He said the environmental risk of a spill outweighs any amount of financial compensation. “The impact on our coast is too great and the potential impact on our economy if there was a spill is too great.” West called the notion a “non-starter” because he doubts Kinder Morgan would ever offer anywhere near $2.50 a barrel. Asked about the company’s plans to ensure Trans Mountain’s expansion benefits B.C., senior project director Greg Toth called B.C.’s demand for a fair share a “government-to-government” question. He said local and regional benefits will come from the jobs in building and operating the new pipeline. “We are looking at a community investment program at a local level,” Toth added. “What are the things we can do as part of the project to offset or mitigate the potential impacts of constructing the pipeline.” Company officials wouldn’t comment on Stewart’s $2.50 suggestion, but reiterated president Ian Anderson’s statement last year that they look forward to discussing economic benefits for B.C. and are confident a collaborative approach will lead to an acceptable solution. The TransMountain pipeline expansion was a major issue in the B.C. election when B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix came out against a major jump in oil tanker traffic through Metro Vancouver, ahead of any formal application by the company.

Kamloops area MLAs Lake, Stone get cabinet posts Kamloops This Week Hospitals and highways across B.C. are now the responsibility of Kamloops and area's two MLAs. Both Kamloops-North Thompson's Terry Lake and Kamloops-South Thompson's Todd Stone snagged seats in Premier Christy Clark's new cabinet, unveiled on Friday, June 7. Lake, in his second term as MLA, moves from his previous position as minister of environment to minister of health. Stone, a new face in the Clark government, will head up the ministry of transportation and serve as deputy house leader. Lake said the appointment of two local politicians to "two very big files" is a good sign for Kamloops. "I think that shows a great sense of confidence by the premier in us and bodes well for our communities," he said. Lake wants his ministry to look for new and innovative ways of delivering heath care, with a focus on health promotion that keeps people from needing acute medical care down the line. "The voice of the people of Kamloops is going to be heard loud and clear at that cabinet table," Stone told KTW by phone from the

Vancouver ceremony. "Terry and I are going to be able to fight very, very hard for the priorities in Kamloops. Of course, we both have a provincial mandate in our respective portfolios, but we'll be at the table

making sure the issues of Kamloops are front and centre." The new cabinet was formally sworn in on Monday, June 10. The remainder of the cabinet: • Rich Coleman, deputy premier and

minister of natural gas development and minister responsible for housing, • John Rustad, minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation. • Amrik Virk, minister of advanced education. • Pat Pimm, minister of agriculture. • Stephanie Cadieux, minister of children and family development. • Coralee Oakes, minister of community, sport and cultural development. • Peter Fassbender, minister of education. • Mike de Jong, minister of finance and government house leader. • Steve Thomson, minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations. • Teresa Wat, minister of international trade, minister responsible for Asia-Pacific strategy and multiculturalism. • Shirley Bond, minister of jobs, tourism and skills training and minister responsible for labour. • Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for tourism and small business. • Suzanne Anton, minister of justice and attorney general. • Don McRae, minister of social development and social innovation. • Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services.

$1.6 M for LiveSmart BC Small Business program Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas VICTORIA – The $1.6-million LiveSmart BC: Small Business program will be extended another year, until March 31, 2014 announced Rich Coleman, Minster of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas and Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of State for Small Business. This successful program, launched in January 2011, will continue to help British Columbia small businesses save energy and money by making energy efficient improvements such as replacing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. The program has served over 10,000 British Columbia businesses, helping them save 150 gigawatthours of electricity or enough to power 13,500 homes for one year. It has also saved over 1,620 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of taking 306 vehicles off of the road. Small businesses who are inter-

ested in making energy efficient improvements can contact a business energy advisor near them. There are currently 15 LiveSmart BC business energy advisors throughout the province, working out of organizations like local chambers of commerce. Energy advisors guide small business owners through the process of energy efficiency upgrades. They deliver free energy assessments to determine what upgrades are needed and help small business owners understand and find available product incentives and cash rebates. They also help co-ordinate energy efficient product installation. A request for proposals for organizations to host business energy advisors will be posted on the BC Bid site until March 13, 2013 at: www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca/open.dll/ submitLogin?disID=24127430 Funding will be provided to organizations, like chambers of commerce, industry associations or local governments, to hire, manage and support these energy advisors.

Kamloops steals track and field championships from Vancouver Kamloops This Week The B.C. High School Track and Field Championships are coming to Kamloops in June 2015. Never in the event's 40-plus year history has it been held outside of

the Vancouver area "The strong support for major track and field events by the community, large number of certified officials in Kamloops and a first-rate facility were all factors in considering Kamloops as a host city," a B.C. Track

and Field press release said. The event will bring more than 2,000 of the province's best high school athletes to Hillside Stadium in the Tournament Capital. The 2014 championships will be held in Langley.

New sewer crossing A roller (r) packs down the soil after installation of a casing for a new sewer line across the roundabout being constructed on Highway 5. Drains planned for the new junction would have conflicted with the old sewer line, said Jared Brounstein, Clearwater’s superintendent of public works. A new waterline crossing was driven under the roundabout site several months ago. Photo by Keith McNeill

Before heading out to your favourite campsite or retreat this summer, please take some time to make sure your natural gas or propane appliances are in safe working order. Portable fuel burning appliances should only be used outside where they are properly ventilated. Also, read and understand the manufacturer’s certified instructions regarding the safe operation and maintenance of your appliances. BC Safety Authority (BCSA) recommends you carefully inspect all gas equipment prior to use and install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your RV or recreational dwelling. When purchasing a CO alarm, look for one that is certified to the latest Canadian Standards Association (CSA) requirements, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding installation and maintenance. In British Columbia, portable propane appliances are required to bear Canadian approval, typically to a CSA standard. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon fuels such as propane, natural gas, wood, charcoal, alcohol, kerosene or gasoline. When portable fuel-burning appliances are used outdoors they are fine, but in an enclosed space – like a tent, RV, cottage or cabin – CO can become trapped, creating a hazardous and potentially lethal environment. Inhalation of CO interferes with the body’s ability to absorb oxygen, which can result in serious illness or even death. Symptoms of CO poisoning can include: light-headedness, headaches, nausea, fatigue, chest pains, vomiting, convulsions, confusion and dizziness. If you suspect you have been exposed to CO, turn all appliances off, leave the dwelling immediately and seek the nearest available medical attention. To keep your recreational space safe, be sure to obtain all necessary permits before undertaking home improvements to your cottage or cabin. Permits help ensure gas and electrical installations are done safely and according to code. If you aren’t sure whether work requires a permit, contact BCSA for more information. For more information about how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, visit the BC Safety Authority website at: www.safetyauthority.ca/ carbon-monoxide Additional permit information for homeowners is also available at: www.thinkpermit.ca BC Safety Authority is an independent, selffunded organization mandated to oversee the safe installation and operation of technical systems and equipment.
