Emotional ceremony marks CSS graduation Keith McNeill

Tears of happiness and tears of sadness – sometimes both at the same time – were shed during graduation ceremonies held at Clearwater Secondary School on Friday evening, June 5. A total of 46 students accepted their scrolls from principal Darren Coates and school superintendent Karl deBruijn at the end of the evening. Thanks to the ongoing generosity of the community, they shared over $41,000 in scholarships and bursaries to help further their educations. This compares with just 32 students in the 2014 graduating class, and $33,850 in scholarships and bursaries. Reid Rebinsky and Justin Sutherland were the class valedictorians. They gave humorous predictions of what some of their classmates would end up doing, and talked about what was to many their favorite lesson in high school: sex ed. They also praised former CSS teacher Skye Buck. His words to live by, “The only real failure is the failure to try,” were a constant inspiration, they said. Buck and his wife Courtney, both former students of

CSS, were killed in an automobile accident in 2012. Teacher Mike Lau was chosen by the class to be special guest speaker for the event. He talked about his experience of moving from Hong Kong as a child and growing up in two cultures. He used to love Saturday morning cartoons but had to give them up in order to take Chinese lessons, he recalled. “I’m walking my path now,” Lau said. “This ceremony is the

start of your path.” Principal Darren Coates gave the principal’s welcome. “The graduates have worked hard to arrive here tonight and should be commended on their accomplishment,” he said. The principal noted that some students had done up to eight courses (as compared to the usual four) to graduate with their classmates. His mother was a single parent and often they had to mix

powdered milk with real milk because real milk was too expensive. “Making money is not the end game. Don’t miss out on time with family and friends,” he advised. Coates also recognized the school district honor students. The four students qualified to wear a gold cord at the ceremonies because they placed in the top five per cent within the school district were Reid Rebinsky, Aliya Bieber, Jenna Zietsov

and Calum McLeod. Mayor John Harwood brought greetings from the District of Clearwater. “Grow all your experiences and be thankful,” he said. School District 73 trustees were represented by Shelley Sim. “We’re excited for you. We’re your cheering section,” the school board representative for Clearwater and Blue River area told the grads. She gave them advice from Mark

Twain – that they should never let their formal education get in the way of their learning. School superintendent Karl deBruijn addressed a CSS graduation ceremony for the first time. For the 14 years he was in office, up until he resigned last year, former superintendent Dr. Terry Sullivan always insisted that he represent the school district at Clearwater, deBruijn said. The graduation ceremonies were held

ered by Imperial Metals vice-president Gordon Keevil and exploration manager Jim Miller-Tait to Clearwater town council's economic development committee on June 2. The proposed mine would be located southeast of Tum Tum Lake and about 20 km east of Avola. Getting adequate electrical power to the site would be a priority. The company would prefer the power came in from Avola rather than some other options that have been suggested. About 3,000 tonnes of ore would be milled per day. The mill and camp would be accommodated in one large building complex, about 200 m long by 40 m wide. The Ruddock Creek project is currently in the application information requirements stage of the provincial environmental assessment process, the two company executives said.

The value component is the most important document in the pre-formal application stage. After the application information requirements are accepted, the company will have three years to file a formal application. According to the Imperial Metals website, a project description was submitted to both the

provincial and federal Environmental Assessment offices in July of 2014. In October of last year the BC Environmental Assessment Office issued a Section 11 Order which establishes the formal scope, procedures and methods concerning Ruddock Creek's environmental assessment. This year, further

baseline studies will be conducted along with continued work related to environmental assessment permitting. Ruddock Creek is a joint venture between Imperial (50 per cent), Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd. (30 per cent) and Itochu Corporation (20 per cent). – with notes from Goldie Krawec

Tourism marketing a regional priority Jill Hayward – North Thompson Star/Journal ‘Growing Tourism Together’ was the theme for a gathering of industry leaders and stakeholders held at the Dutch Lake Community Centre in Clearwater on June 4. Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA), president and CEO Glenn Mandziuk, team members, and Tourism Wells Gray co-hosted the session, with representatives from Valemount to Barriere in attendance. Mandziuk stated the Thompson Okanagan is one of the leading tourist destinations in the world. In 2010 tourism generated over $1.7 billion to the regional economy, attracting 3.5 million visitors per year, with tourism employing approximately 15,000 people in this region. “These are exciting times for TOTA and our tourism industry as we embark together on a bold, new strategic direction to launch year three of the Thompson Okanagan Regional Strategy – Embracing our Potential,” said Mandziuk, “To change and develop the industry we need to work together to become a year-round destination. Mandziuk noted there are 90 communities and 21 First Nation bands within the TOTA geographic area. There are 3,500 businesses, but a large portion of these are currently not represented in regards to marketing. However, 1,800 businesses do participate in some manor of marketing within the area. He stated that marketing the region requires “destination development – more partnership opportunities and sector collaboratives.” One strategy to increase tourism in the area is to change the image of being a summer and hot weather destination to becoming an all season destination, and to that end TOTA hopes to see increased tourism by one to two per cent during the fall and winter months. “Sixty-four per cent of our visitors are from Vancouver,” said Mandziuk, “But most of those don’t understand that we are about more than sun and water.” Promoting the culture and geographic diversity of the region is a large part of TOTA’s marketing strategy that will be extended to attract new people from around the world to the Thompson Okanagan. He noted that the new mar-

keting strategy is breaking away from traditional channels; no visitor guides, no magazines. Prospective visitors will now be reached through online and electronic media. The TOTA Visitors Guide will no longer be printed; instead, once visitors have arrived they can then pick up the printed tourism guides from individual communities if they wish. TOTA will also be showcasing the Thompson Okanagan through efficient use of marketing resources such as attending expos with a travelling pavilion. “We’re literally bringing the

keting list, and the CEO noted that if an area has a spot for the plug-in TOTA will assist. He noted it is hoped the region will be able to create these charging stations quickly, as those with electric cars coming from the Lower Mainland have disposable income and are positive visitors for stakeholders. Mandziuk also spoke about creating a Sustainability Charter for tourism in the region. “We have values to protect – to ensure they’re here for the long term – environmental, economic, social and sustainable.” Marketing also is promot-

circus to town,” said the CEO, “High traffic, high profile.” The TOTA pavilion will be on display in Vancouver in September, Seattle in March, and Calgary in April. Plans are to re-stage the look of visitor centres in the region, and even to provide an opportunity to “experience the region” through some form of media outside if the visitor centre happens to be closed. Mandziuk stated that in regards to industry and community development TOTA is shifting to sub-regional and corridor partnerships rather than individual communities – partnerships such as those already in place with Lower North Thompson Valley Tourism Society, Tourism Wells Gray, Tourism Valemount and the Thompson Nicola Regional District. Marketing is being developed to push Route 97, which is the longest highway in North America, running from Weed, California, through the Thompson Okanagan and to the Alaska Highway. Promoting public or private facilities where electric cars can be charged is high on the mar-

ing trail systems, such as the Kettle Valley and the proposed Barriere to McBride mountain biking system. The presentation covered a number of other marketing and promotion strategies that are all a part of TOTA’s 10-year regional marketing strategy. Mandziuk encouraged area stakeholders to register with TOTA (there is no cost), get involved, perhaps run for a position on the TOTA board, or participate as a member of one of TOTA’s industry advisory boards. He noted members from all areas of the region are desired on these boards.

“ Nobody is always a winner, and anybody who says he is, is either a liar or doesn't play poker.” - Amarillo Slim editorial by keith mcNeill

Bike trip to Ottawa was worthwhile Your editor and his cycling partner, Jean Nelson, have returned from our 450 km bicycle trip from Toronto to Ottawa. Was your editor able to keep up with the 80-year-old grandmother? Well, yes, up to a point. The fact is, she mostly followed and let me set my own pace. She only passed me a few times when I was going too slowly up hills. She said she was following because she didn't want to get lost. What she really meant was, if I got lost, then she wanted to be lost in the same place. I hope to do a more in-depth report with photographs in a future issue of the Times, but here is a brief rundown on how the trip went. We flew from Kamloops to Toronto on Wednesday, May 20. We spent Thursday and Friday making last minute preparations. We also met briefly with noted Canadian author Naomi Klein during a climate change rally on Bay Street. Starting on Saturday we spent four days cycling to Kingston, mostly following the Waterfront Trail. We spent a day in Kingston, then spent

Letters

another four days cycling to Ottawa. Here our route was a mix of secondary roads and portions of the Cataraqui Trail and the Trans Canada Trail. I was able to arrange newspaper interviews in all the small towns we stayed in except Trenton to talk about my global warming petition. I also did two radio interviews. In Ottawa we met with Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada (Jean was especially thrilled by this). We also did a small event in front of the Parliament Buildings to hand over the 28,000 names on the petition as of that time to Cathy Orlando, national manager of Citizens Climate Lobby – Canada. After taking the Greyhound back to Toronto we spent most of Wednesday, June 3 in the city, then flew back to Kamloops that evening. We got home to Clearwater early Thursday morning – just in time for me to go back to work and cover grad on the weekend. The weather generally cooperated, with most days sunny but not too hot, and often with a wind at our back. Overall, it was a worthwhile trip. More next week.

Idiot of the Month award should go to roundabout proponents Editor, The Times:

Re: May 2015 Idiot of the Month Award I saw Argo replacing a light standard and lights at the roundabout today. Last weekend, a grey van ran into the standard and the vehicle had to be removed by a wrecker. With all the propaganda about how

much safer roundabouts are compared to conventional traffic lights, obviously the accident was a result of excessive speed or driver error! This brings me to the Idiot of the Month Award. It has to go to District of Clearwater for its statements in the May 21 Clearwater Times’

article “Roundabout for Sicamous”. District of Clearwater CAO Leslie Groulx has been rattling a very rusty sabre, making statements that were all proven wrong in 2013. I’ll give a few examples: • Groulx says that Clearwater’s doublelaned roundabout was engineered to handle “extraordinary loads”. Yes, but this is not the same roundabout that the MOTI and Clearwater council were trying to have installed. That plan was scrapped after many letters to the editor from local residents and the BC Truckers’ Association. • “One of the key things … it’s a continuous flow,” said Groulx, noting the integrated crosswalks are more safe than those that

existed prior. Not so. If a vehicle is in the roundabout, you still have to wait until the intersection is clear. Just recently I waited for five transports going south on Highway 5 while I was trying to turn right off of Clearwater Valley Road. MOTI claimed that there had been no pedestrian accidents there since the pedestrian light was installed. With zero previous accidents, “more safe” just doesn’t cut it! • “The red light option wouldn’t have been a good one because of the hill that comes up. So in the winter time if you had five semis at a stop light, they wouldn’t get going again.” ERRRR! Wrong! Since 2013, with the amount of

snowflake patrol that has been done with sand and salt, any vehicle could make that hill with summer tires on. If half of that prevention had been applied to other areas of Highway 5, there probably would have been fewer fatalities. Now council wants to lobby for a second roundabout at another “even more dangerous” intersection on Highway 5 at Wells Gray Inn. In 2012 and 2013, when I was lobbying against the roundabout, I was trying to tell MOTI and council that the Wells Gray Inn intersection was far more dangerous than the one at Clearwater Valley Road. Now that council has admitted which intersection is more dangerous, why don’t

they come clean and admit that the roundabout was not about safety, but about enhancing the gateway to Wells Gray Park? I guess if council is in favour of a second roundabout, I’m sure that MOTI will be eager to hand out a contract. I reckon it all boils down to You Can’t Fix Stupid! The good news is I have a solution! I propose that we leave the Wells Gray Inn intersection alone for the time being. We start at the golf course and widen Old North Thompson Highway, straighten out the “S” curves, and rename it Highway 5. By doing so, we bring back to life all of the businesses that have fallen by the wayside and we reduce a large chunk of the District of

Clearwater’s road maintenance. Then we start constructing the new roundabout with its circumference around the Wells Gray Inn, leaving lots of room for extra parking. For the inconvenience that all this construction causes, I would suggest maybe permitting a take-out window at the Cold Beer and Wine Store, with a double lane access for north and south traffic flow. While we’re at it, let’s reduce the legal drinking age to 16 and increase legal alcohol consumption from .08 to 2.0. After all, it’s not about safety; it’s about enhancing the community.

Question of the Week

? Do you think Clearwater should have more and wider bike lanes?

Tony Casey:

Luc Paradis:

Dennis Redman:

Yes, I think so. We need more trails for walking and biking.

I would have to say yes. The ones that we have are pretty narrow and are scarey if there's a lot of traffic, especially at this time of year.

Yes, I think so. It would be safer.

Deryl Cowie:

Yes. I think it's really great for people to ride bicycles. Not only is it a good thing to do for the environment, but it's also better for everybody's health.

Molly Bishop:

Yes, because if children are using them, you never know how much space they need to wobble about in.

Food bank says thanks to Clearwater and district residents Editor, The Times:

Clearwater and District Food Bank continues to provide assistance to needy individuals and families. In 2008 it provided approximately 33 hampers per month. In 2009 we provided approximately 45 hampers per month. Last year (2014) the demand increased to over 70 hampers per month. In the month

of March 2015, the food bank assisted 94 households comprising 198 individuals (141 adults, 57 children). Of the 94 households, 17 were seniors. The demand has been continuously increasing and the generosity and thoughtfulness of the Clearwater and district citizens has assisted us in meeting these needs.

The food bank will be conducting its eighth annual mid-season drive this Saturday, June 13, for non-perishable goods. The drive is being sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with assistance from volunteers from the community. Donation bags will be delivered to homes in the Clearwater and district June

Support needed for Angila Wilson video Editor, The Times:

Last year Clearwater mother Angila Wilson was brutally murdered by her husband, leaving behind three young children. Needless to say this shook our tight-knit community to the roots. Randy Hedlund, a local singer songwriter joined up with other musicians from the community and wrote a song addressing domestic violence.

We are going to produce a music video that will involve a significant segment of our community to try to come to terms with this tragic event as well as address the issue of domestic violence. We have applied to Telus Storyhive for funding of $10,000 with the possibility of receiving up to $30,000 to produce a documentary as well. The award is given on the amount of votes of support that we get and we need yours. This

is not just another music video, but rather one that may well make a difference to someone dealing with domestic violence. Please register and cast your vote for us, and feel free to pass on to as many friends, relatives and co-workers that you can. Together we can make a difference. www.storyhive.com/project/ show/id/478

ates complete their high school education with cap and gown, prom and dry grad festivities. A total of $35,500 was awarded to 27 of those grads in scholarships and bursaries provided by the community.

YEARS AGO:

A large crowd filled Clearwater Secondary's gym as 39 grads received their diplomas. Top scholarship winner was Aaren Ritchie-Bonar, who took home more than $6,000 to help with her further education. Steve Pelton announced he was resigning as president of Clearwater and District Chamber of Commerce. He said he was too busy setting up a new birch mill near Crescent Spur to continue. Vice-president Merlin Blackwell stepped in to fill the position. A group of students with the Interprofessional Rural Program of B.C. (IRPBC) planned to put out a survey on advance care planning. "It's good because the systems are in place when something happens, so things go as the patient wishes," said Dr. John Soles.

YEAR AGO:

A total of 32 students crossed the floor to graduate from Clearwater Secondary School. Tori Barstow and Chad Bond were class valedictorians. Obtaining a helipad for Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital was being held back by the $800,000-plus price tag, said hospital administrator Berni Easson. In the meantime, emergency landings were being made next to the vet clinic on Camp Two Road.

VOICES

Bryan Smith: Graduate from school of hard knocks By Jill Hayward North Thompson Star/Journal North Thompson Valley resident Bryan Edward Smith says he’s come from a school of hard knocks to where he is today. Born in 1956 Bryan spent a good portion of his early years working on relative’s farms and ranches, “...doing long hours and working hard”. Bryan says as soon as he was old enough, he found his “first love” in Little Britches Rodeo. “Little Britches started my life’s hard focus to be better than the next. Traveling around the country, winning top prize money, belt buckles, and finely all round cowboy in the early 70’s,” said Bryan. He goes on to say that schooling in his early years came hard to him; in elementary school teachers commented he was “dumb”, “would never amount to anything other than a bum or hobo”. In middle school he was placed into special education classes, “Which the teachers felt were more suited to my disabilities”. However, it was here that his grades went from F’s and C’s, to A’s and B’s. Bryan says he was always “...a nut and bolt guy”. Automotive and machine classes came easy, as well as wood working, welding, and even cooking class which became another one of his “loves”, consequently taking him into apprenticeship jobs in the culinary fields. However, he soon found these jobs couldn’t pay for classes, so he then took to driving transport trucks which paid better. Bluntly honest about his past, Bryan relates that as early as elementary school alcohol started to take a grip on him. Schooling suddenly seemed unimportant, cooking fell by the wayside and trucking paid the bills for his addiction. Somehow though he continued with his education until grade 11, “...when I was asked to leave the high school by the principal because I was not to park my highway truck on school property. I was doing what I had been ordered to – showing up for school Even though I was driving truck after classes and getting a load before classes. Made sense to me, I had payments to make, so worked all night then slept in the truck in the school parking lot so I could attend school in the morning”. In the 80’s Bryan says he got married, had a daughter, became a self taught bass musician, bought a small town music store, and also started his own trucking companies, but once again his love of the bottle took control. Between trucking and music Bryan says it all came to a head on a final road trip in the 90’s, “With a body full of drugs

and alcohol, I succumbed to the disease and the addiction”. At this point Bryan had hit bottom, and from there started the long struggle to come back, with “hat in hand” to once again return to work. He eventually found a job DJing and then started a new business called North 40 Music Studios.” His new company rented out music equipment, set up staging, lighting and glamor for big name performers. Bryan says this was a first digital mobile recording studio that did TV location sound, the Calgary Stampede and a number of other award winning sound venues across Canada. “Soaring in 2003, it ended in April, in a car accident which took me hard with spinal injuries,” tells Bryan, “But I defied the doctor’s prognosis of not walking again. I could only work an hour or two on my best days. The music business was too much, I could not move the equipment or load the truck. Selling my equipment and knowledge to a Calgary radio station I moved forward to B.C. for regrouping, healing my body and a fresh start.” He says that he has never been able to sit doing nothing, so as soon as he could he started back trucking. “Healed enough in my mind, and with the last of my savings and selling a few more toys and financed, I bought a brand new Peterbilt in December of 2004. I worked like a man possessed. Things where grand. But fate was not done with me yet. “On Dec. 24, 2006, at 5:30 p.m., I had a complete dissection of my heart. At the time I thought it was heartburn; give me a soda – I will be fine. With my wife’s nagging, I finally relented and drove myself to the hospital. In the hospital ER a code red was called. Who me? “This ended up with me being hooked to every wire, and a medical team working feverishly. I was quickly packed up and airlifted to the big city of Vancouver, where the exams and testing there left myself and family with some major decision making within a very small window. “But, it wasn’t my time to go. My God wasn’t done with me.” Bryan tells that this was a very dark time for him. “Family wrote me off, they did not visit. Arrangements were being made for my demise, but a friend to this very day brought me a book called ‘The Secret’.” “Months went by. My wife left me while I was still in the hospital, and I fell into the darkest depths of depression.” However, the light did came back on and quite brilliantly for Bryan, “I saw that this too was a learning process. Out of this came my greatest gift – finding Bryan. Learning to love and see myself for who I was.”

Visionary author, speaker, and life skills coach Bryan Smith now makes his home in the North Thompson Valley and the community of Barriere. (Right) Bryan Smith’s first book has already been published in a number of languages. The book Bryan was given, The Secret, is one of the most well known and widely viewed works about the law of attraction. The Secret started as a film in 2006, and was then developed into a book of the same title in 2007. The law of attraction is the name given to the term that “like attracts like” and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. This belief is based upon the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from “pure energy”, and the belief that like energy attracts like energy. One example used by Lisa Nichols in the film ‘The Secret’ is as follows: “Every time you look inside your mail expecting to see a bill, guess what? It’ll be there. Each day you go out dreading the bill, you’re never expecting anything great, you’re thinking about debt, you’re expecting debt. So debt must show up.....it showed up, because the law of attraction is always being obedient to your thoughts.” Bryan says he studied the Law of Attraction, “And learned more of this ‘Secret’.” “Absorbing all I could and still absorbing. Over and over until I understood each one,” says Brian, “As I took this new pathway and journey in life I have befriended more and more like-minded people. As ‘The Secret’ states how it works, I want to tell the whole world too. “I live in beautiful Barriere, teach the Law of Attraction world wide, and write for several magazines. I also host a TV show and

have been in movies.” Bryan has already authored his first book of positive living quotes called BMaster “Quotes of Law of Attraction”, and it is published not only in English but many other languages as well. He is a TV host and plans to be hosting a radio show this year as well. Bryan has been on many radio shows around the world, and says that within a year he will be doing even more work here in North America teaching the Law of Attraction, Positive Living, and life skills coaching. “Sharing my story with one person at a time and helping those who ask for help or guidance, this is a true gift. I now do this as my calling in life,” says Bryan, “It feels so good to see another dance to the joy of life, from just being able listen and share what has worked for me. Bryan has certainly come a long way from the kid “who would never amount to anything”. Today he is a major force in promoting what he fiercely believes in, the Law of Attraction and Positive Living. After all, Bryan Smith is living proof that it works.

1-800-222-TIPS Clearwater RCMP Report Drinking and driving

Clearwater RCMP were happy to report on Sunday morning that, even with significantly increased presence in the area over the graduation weekend, there had been no impaired driving charges forwarded in relation to the graduation celebrations. The members of the detachment would like to commend the grads, not only on their graduation, but for being responsible about the celebrations. Police would also like to thank all those persons who helped make that possible by offering rides and giving sober reminders to those who may have been tempted to drive after they’d been drinking.

Stolen trailer

On Wednesday, June 3, a small enclosed work/cargo trailer was stolen from where it had been left in the parking lot of Jim’s Market in Little Fort. The trailer had been left there unattended and without a hitch lock, or other theft prevention device. Thankfully, the trailer was empty, and was abandoned by the unknown thieves just north of Barriere, where it was found by the owner a short time later.

Noise complaint

On June 5, Clearwater RCMP responded to a report of a loud house party near Raft River School. Police attended and located the party. The noise was brought down to more acceptable levels.

Looking for lost phone

Legacies That Last Foreve r

On June 6, Clearwater RCMP took a report of a lost cellphone, an iPhone 5C with a blue case. The phone had been lost sometime over the previous evening. The owner reported it in hopes that a good Samaritan in town had located the phone and would turn it in to police to return to the owner.

Regional District reviews its biosolids regulations ThompsonNicola Regional District What is the TNRD doing about biosolids? Thompson-Nicola Regional District is currently in the process of reviewing its zoning bylaw to regulate commercial composting and to limit the scale of agricultural composting. The amending bylaw, if supported by the TNRD board, will limit the sale or export of agricultural compost, such as processed manure, food waste, or biosolids, from an agricultural operation. In 2012 and later in 2014 when it was amended, changes to Bylaw 2400 did not restrict composting activities. The new amending bylaw is being prepared in response to board direction to consider how and if the TNRD can lawfully regulate biosolids. The issue was brought to the board as a result of the controversy surrounding the BioCentral composting facility in the Nicola Valley, which has recently been the focus of protests from area residents objecting to the importation of biosolids due to the impact on their way of life. At the April 23 board of directors

meeting it was decided to proceed with an amending bylaw, Bylaw 2516, that will prohibit composting on a scale beyond what can be spread on the given ranch or farm. The proposed changes go as far as the local government can in respect to compost regulation. The TNRD cannot license, manage, or issue permits for farm operations, including composting, however the TNRD can prohibit the commercial sale and export of compost produced on the farm. Local government does not receive notifications regarding composting and biosolids applications. It is expected that the amending bylaw will be forwarded to the board of directors for first and second reading and then proceed to a public hearing. A consultation process is already under way with TNRD member municipalities, First Nations, the Agricultural Land Commission and various provincial ministries. The board of directors also sent a resolution, crafted jointly with the city of Merritt, to the recently completed Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA)

convention. The resolution requests the province establish a committee to examine and recommend changes to the biosolids review process as well as changes to the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation and Agricultural Land Commission Act. This was passed unanimously and it will now be on the agenda of the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) in the fall.

Sports Beat the heat at Clearwater Hockey School Submitted Clearwater Hockey School is coming back to the Sportsplex and this year will feature a beginners' program for only $50. Your child can enjoy six days of fun, friends and fitness. The instructors will ensure that the kids have a good time; hockey schools are supposed to be fun. For the younger players it will be learning to skate and the fundamentals of hockey. For the older kids organizers will concentrate on what makes hockey fun, offense and scoring goals without ignoring the fundamentals. The school will start Aug. 30 and continue to Sept. 3. Players must be registered by July 31 for arena staff to commit to making ice, although payment

VICTORIA - In a report released recently, B.C.'s Forest Practices Board warns that little progress has been made in protecting urban interface areas from catastrophic wildfire and we are all responsible. In 2010, the board issued a report and recommendations to government and communities to address the risks of wildfire in urban interface areas. This followup report finds that the work done in the past five years has not addressed the hazard in a meaningful way. "In 2010 we said that both provincial and local governments need to support forest fuel reduction efforts and homeowners have to take responsibility and FireSmart their properties," said board chair Tim Ryan. "Less than 10 per cent of hazardous forest fuels have been treated - at enormous cost to government - and few property owners have taken the steps to protect themselves from wildfire." The 2015 wildfire season is off to an early start and the board is concerned that British Columbians are not prepared for what could happen this summer. "Government does not have the resources to respond to every wildfire and protect every community that is at risk," said Ryan. "The solution has to be in prevention and readiness to withstand a wildfire." The report acknowledges that some excellent work has been done and the Province has committed millions of dollars to the effort. But the scale of the problem is so large, and the costs of treatment so high, that it's merely a drop in the bucket. "B.C. has been lucky it hasn't had any catastrophic urban interface fires since Kelowna in 2003, but that has been luck and nothing more," Ryan said. "Today, Kelowna is an example of

Preschool children raise funds for projects Submitted Clearwater Preschool recently organized a bike-athon fundraiser. Each child choose a fundraising project in the community to raise money for (half of the money raised was donated to that project, and half was

donated to the preschool). The children collected sponsorship donations and then biked for 40 minutes. Out of the 21 children registered in the preschool, one child chose to raise money for the SPCA, and 20 children chose to raise money for building a splash park in the

community. They collectively raised a total of $177.55.

what communities can do to protect themselves." The report urges the public to take personal responsibility and ask local politicians and fire departments what the risks to their community are, to support the return of prescribed fire to reduce forest fuels, and to take simple steps to FireSmart their own properties. The report also provides a number of suggestions to improve the situation. The Forest Practices Board is B.C.'s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government. The board investigates and reports on current forestry and range issues and makes recommendations for improvement to practices and legislation.

Labour study helps Simpcw First Nation get ready to ride Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation SIMPCW – Riders could soon be pedalling down new mountain bike trails in the North Thompson Valley, once a study on mountain bike and tourism opportunities in the McBride to Barriere corridor is complete. The Simpcw First Nation received $45,000 from the B.C. government to identify how Aboriginal communities can participate in the region's growing mountain bike and tourism industry. In partnership with the Mountain Bike Tourism Association, the Simpcw First Nation will host trail-building workshops and work with nearby communities to develop a strategy to address skills gaps, training needs and opportunities to promote the region as a mountain biking destination. "This initiative will provide an opportunity for our community to learn more about mountain bike recreation and tourism. It will provide our members, especially our youth, the opportunity to learn about riding and trail building and build capacity for future community and economic development,” said Simpcw First Nation councillor Tom Eustache. “As a rider, mountain biking has made a huge difference in my life for health and fitness. I would like to see our members getting outdoors and reconnecting with our lands and living healthy active lives. Mountain bike recreation and tourism also has the potential to teach people about the Simpcw Nation; about who we are as a people, our culture and heritage and about our lands and territories." As part of the project, the Simpcw First Nation has declared June 10, 2015, as Mountain Bike Day in the community just north of Barriere. The day will feature workshops for local youth to learn more about mountain biking and trail safety from professional riders, as well as a community dinner followed by a screening of local mountain bike films and discussion of the new research study. "Labour Market Partnerships help communities identify the resources and skilled workers they need to secure employment and economic opportunities,” said Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Michelle Stilwell. “This study will help the Simpcw First Nation become a key partner – and builder – of the region's mountain bike economy." The project will wrap up in December 2015 with an action plan to develop a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable mountain bike recreation and tourism sector. Labour Market Partnerships are a component of the Employment Program of BC's Community and Employer Partnerships fund for projects that share labour market information and increase employability throughout the province. Labour Market Partnerships fund projects that support employers, employee and employer associations and communities to develop strategies to deal with worker shortages or changes in the job market. Projects that provide opportunities for people who are often disadvantaged in the workforce, such as Aboriginal people, people with disabilities and youth, are encouraged.

Avola yard sale benefits non-profit society Submitted A community yard sale was held in Avola on June 6 and 7, thanks to a grant from the North Thompson Community Foundation to Avola's Upstream Community and Heritage Society. "It has been a real community effort from the beginning," society secretary Eleanor Deckert said. Karen Bruce had the idea back in November, "What if several families had a yard sale on the same day?" Bruce's husband fetched the materials and got the project started by cutting the wood for the signs. The sandwich board signs will be used whenever the Upstream Community and Heritage Society hosts events. "This first project funded with the NTCF grant is bringing a huge sense of community spirit, teamwork and unleashing a flood of creative ideas," Deckert said. Since the Upstream Society's first annual general meeting in November, 2014, both "community" and "heritage" activities have begun to take shape, Deckert said.

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month in Canada to raise awareness that “a concussion is a brain injury.” Brain injury is a silent epidemic. In fact, it is the number-one killer and disabler of people under the age of 44. The Brain Injury Association of Canada urges all Canadians to help prevent acquired brain injuries by wearing helmets while cycling, skateboarding and playing contact sports. Are you a slow eater? Good for you! Studies done on this topic show that those who take time with their meals and chew their food longer will consume fewer calories and you will feel fuller faster. Food digestion begins in the mouth so chewing longer will help this first phase of digestion. Dr. Ted Sourkes died in January. His research provided a great step forward in the treatment of Parkinsons (PD) when he noticed that PD patients’ brains had lower levels of dopamine. Dopamine doesn’t pass through the barrier to the brain, but he noticed that a precursor to dopamine, L-dopamine, did enter the brain. This drug provided PD patients with a new lease on life. When new drugs are discovered, chances are that we will know about them. Keeping current with what’s new in medications is an important part of our job.

Valedictorians give a summary of the past Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Reid Rebinsky. And my name is Justin Sutherland. Tonight I see before me future doctors, lawyers,and about $10 million

worth of organs. One thing I have learned in high school is when speaking in front of a large group of people, imagine them all naked and well ... you all are looking fantastic tonight.

What we are here to talk to you about this evening, is something called grit. Grit is courage, bravery and the strength of character. Just kidding I’m pretty sure Mr. Coates has given you all this speech

multiple times, eh Coates? No, but the purpose of our speech is to recollect our high school memories and take what we have learned over the past five years, to help us be successful in the future. However, first, on behalf of the class of 2015, we would like to thank our family, friends, and the wonderful teachers of CSS for being here today. First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Whelen for leading by example and showing us to never give up, just like he never gives up on the Leafs ... and Mr. Lau for teaching us to always try our hardest at everything, even just during a noncompetitive game of musical chairs. We also would like to send out a heartfelt thank you to Skye Buck whom is no longer with us but I am sure he is over there sinking 3’s and dunking hoops. Besides being an amazing athlete, Skye left behind a great legacy at CSS and within the community of Clearwater. He shared his love of sports, positive attitude, and left us with words to live by: “The only real failure is the failure to try.” All we can do is get up in the morning and try our best. Nothing else matters.” Skye inspired myself and many other students with this

Clearwater Secondary School valedictorians for 2015 Reid Rebinsky (l) and Justin Sutherland give their address during the school’s commencement ceremonies on Friday evening, June 5. Photo by Keith McNeill quote for the years he taught at CSS. Every time I came across something hard during school, such as a lousy research paper for example, Skye’s quote would fill my mind and this would drive me to work harder to achieve success. I also found this quote extremely valuable during Mr. Whelen’s lengthy lectures – it inspired me to try my hardest to stay awake. It inspired me to try and duck when Mr. Buck threw chalk at us in Math 8. As many as you also know, we have been deemed “the worst class ever” since Grade 8, so this quote drove

us to hold onto the title as the years passed by. As we move forward in life Skye’s quote is one that we should try our best to keep in mind. Starting this new chapter in our lives is going to be scary. We have been lucky enough to have grown up in this small town where we were not only nurtured by our families and friends, but by our teachers and community members. Up until now we have always had someone to nag us, “Are you passing math yet? Did ya get your homework done? Why are you

late? and my favorite, are you high?” They also helped us make all the tough decisions. Our failures have been owned by ourselves, our parents, and the community. So it is reasonable that when we leave the shelter of this town and begin making our own decisions, owning our own failures, we will be afraid. This is where it will be valuable to think of Skye’s quote. As long as we are trying our absolute best and continue to push forward, we never will have truly failed. With all of our

and advice for the future to the graduates newly found freedom of choice there will be limitless opportunities that come along with our feat. For the first time in our lives, our parents will be right: we can be whatever we want to be when we grow up, doing or trying anything we please. As long we acknowledge that our setbacks are not ultimately failures, we can do anything with our lives. Alright, so we’re here to celebrate the fact we’re out of this place for good ... unless some of you plan on coming back here to teach. *Cough* losers *Cough* but really, think, after tonight we have a few weeks left of school and then we are out into the real world – because the world we’ve been living

in up until now has been imaginary. No longer are we “Out Here” but we will soon be “Out There” and quite frankly thats pretty freakin scary. Deciding what you want to do with the rest of your life can be stressful, so we’re here to help predict your futures. Seeing as we’re not receiving yearbooks for our final year of high school, we’d like to take some time now to award the superlatives. Least likely to take over the family business – Larson Wadlegger, most likely to be a millionaire – Daniel Schuh, Most likely to spend 1 million on his truck, Austin Rauch, most likely to get his car run over while in park,

Husman Sharif, Most likely to break every bone in their body before the age of 21, Robin Fraser, best beard game goes to, Jacob Madden, most likely to end up in a cop car every night – Curtis Podbisky, cutest couple – Justin Hudema and Austin Willier, least likely to be successful – Reid Rebinsky, biggest life of the party – Kiran Sharif, most likely to be a softy – Jared Walker, best 27 year old – Cole Fink, Best hair goes out to Husman and his wicked poolboy life guard hair. Now, coming from a small logging community we cannot help but guarantee you a few of the young men and women whom are uncomfortably seated up here will

become employed in the logging industry, whether it be cutting trees or planing boards. But nonetheless we have some future millionaires up here like myself. Callum Macleod is going to be a pipeline welder, burn rod get check kinda guy he’s gonna drive a lifted diesel, the things gonna roll coal like a train and he is going to be hard as ... ya we will leave that part out. Mitchell Graham will one day put his immense knowledge to work and become some high class wolf on Wall Street-like figure and be the life of every party in the world and make that cash money. So now that we’re past all that school crap, let’s talk about the good stuff. Like

all the real life things we learned over the last four years – or five in some cases. Little things we figured out, like how to style our hair so it looks like we just got out of bed, and, as all the guys know too well, how to hide an erection. Which conveniently leads us into the final, and I’m sure in most cases, favourite lesson high school life gave us. Sex-ed.

And I’m not talking about what they taught us in health. I’m talking about rounding the bases, Adam and Eve-ing it. I don’t need to go into details of how high school taught us about sex-ed very much, a lot of you did a lot of it. And the rest of you can use your imagination. But I will say this: It was a blast. Pun intended. Overall, we’ve

made some great memories and learned a lot of valuable lessons. We’ve been given advice at school that includes everything from “never get an arts degree” to “don’t eat the yellow snow.” We’d like to leave you with just one last piece of advice before we part with high school. Live long and prosper. Oh, and Life’s a Garden, Dig It.

Congratulations Zach & Curtis!

All the best to the Grads of 2015!
