Keith McNeill Clearwater resident Tom Grimm and his son, Brue, recently returned home after being evacuated from Fort McMurray. “Compared to Fort Mac, 2003 was just a campfire,” according to the elder Grimm. Tom was comparing the forest fire that forced the evacuation last week of that northern Alberta town with the fire of 13 years ago that destroyed Louis Creek and forced the evacuation of much of the lower North Thompson Valley. Grimm, a heavy equipment operator, had experience fighting both. The fire behaviour at Fort McMurray was much more extreme, he said, and the dam-

age to homes and property far more extensive. “I was on top of a hill they call Super Test in Fort Mac,” he recalled. “I looked toward town and it looked as if three or four volcanoes were going off.” At one point the fire jumped the divided highway, the green meridians alongside it, plus the Athabaska River. “Then it just took off towards Saskatchewan,” Grimm said. The Clearwater man spent several days

building fire guards within the city. “I saw milliondollar homes going up in flames,” he said. “Hundreds of them, one after another.” Grimm had been working at an oil sands mine about 35 km north of Fort McMurray when the dispatcher on the radio told them a state of emergency had been declared in the city. They were told to bring all their equipment into a staging area. Because of his experience fighting

forest fires, the elder Grimm was assigned to building fire guards in Fort McMurray. He had just about finished his shift before the emergency was declared and so he ended up working 38 hours straight. He then took seven hours off, worked another 36 straight hours, and only then joined the evacuation. “There’s nothing left green in Fort Mac to burn,” he reported. His son Brue is a heavy duty mechanic. Continued on page A2

Town council to meet at high school Keith McNeill

Clearwater town council will meet in a new venue for its May 17 meeting – Clearwater Secondary School. The purpose of holding the meeting at the school will be to demonstrate to students how council works, said Mayor John Harwood. “We hope to develop in them an appetite for service,” he said. Harwood noted that the municipality has developed a healthy relationship with the school. Councillor Shelley Sim said that because town council normally meets during the afternoon, it is difficult for members of junior council and other students to

attend. She hoped the experience would encourage young people to participate in local politics. “There’s not a lot of glory in it, certainly not a lot of money in it, but you can make a difference,” Sim said. Chief administrative officer Leslie Groulx noted that the meetings at the school will be held during Local Government Week. The town council meetings will be held in conjunction with a junior council meeting to held during the school’s lunch hour. A meeting of Clearwater town council’s infrastructure standing committee will start at 1 p.m. while the regular council meeting will begin at 2 p.m.

Clearwater residents relive evacuation from Fort McMurray Continued from page A1

He was working at a job-site about 45 km south of town when he got a phone call from his boss, telling him to come back to Fort McMurray as there was fire right inside the city. He went to his condominium, picked up some stuff, and then headed north as the highway to the south was blocked. “I drove to Fort McKay, which is about 40 km,” he said. “It was 10 km/hr all the way because of gridlock. It was unbelievable. People were riding horses because

they wanted to get their animals out.” On Wednesday he headed south, back through Fort McMurray and towards Edmonton. “The fire was crossing the highway just as I went through,” he said. “The wind was 50 to 60 km/hr and the smoke was so thick I couldn’t see anything for about two kilometres.” Going through Fort McMurray was eerie, he said. The city was empty, except for a few police, but the traffic lights were still working. Every 25 km or so along the highway were rest stations

where people could pick up free gasoline, food, water and other supplies. Even when he got to Grasslands, which is about 250 km south of Fort McMurray, he could still see the column of smoke. Both Grimms were full of praise for how people pulled together in the emergency. “Everybody up there went out of their way to help each other,” said Tom Grimm. The oil companies did not hesitate to put their heavy equipment on trucks and send it to fight the fire, he added. The companies also opened up their camps to house and feed evacuees, no questions asked. “It’s unbelievable what the people of Alberta did for the people of Fort McMurray,” the elder Grimm said, although he wondered just how useful the government had been.

Profits go up at Wells Gray Community Forest Keith McNeill Wells Gray Community Forest Corporation made a gross profit of nearly $900,000 last year, according to Joel Steinberg, corporation president. In a report presented to the community forest's annual public meeting held in mid-April, Steinberg said a transfer of $500,000 from the gross profit was made to Wells Gray 2010 Society, which handles disbursements for the community forest. WGCF generates income by selling logs through local logging contractors using competitive bids. The majority of logs are purchased by Canfor and Interfor, with some going to Gilbert Smith and Tolko as well. Specialty product logs have been sold to Wadlegger Specialty Forest Products. The year before, WGCF corporation reported a gross profit of about $750,000 and transferred $250,000 to the society. Commenting on the community forest's annual public meeting, general manager George Brcko said the log harvest during the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 2015 was 55,000 cubic metres.

This was 22,000 cubic meters above the community forest's annual allowable cut (AAC) to take advantage of higher market prices plus to ensure the community forest meets if five-year cut control. WGCF is in its fourth year of its second five-year cut control period, Brcko said. BC Forest Service allows forest tenure holders some leeway in how much of their AAC they harvest each year. However, over their fiveyear cut control period the tenure holders, such as the community forest, must utilize all of their AAC or risk losing part of it. Infrastructure improvements included construction of a 12.2 m bridge at Wylie Creek plus 4.2 km of road at various locations. The goal is to have four years of standing timber inventory (STI), which are cut-blocks ready to be harvested, with all referrals and development completed. Local contracting company Longfellows Inc. (Wes Bieber) is undertaking a 15-year timber forecast plan. The community forest is beginning a forest modelling project to help predict future harvest locations. The program will consider

aspects of forest management such as wildlife habitat, fire interface areas, sustainable rates of cutting in watersheds and future silviculture investments. A highlight of 2015 was hosting the BC Community Forest Association conference and annual general meeting last May. Celebrating National Forest Week in September was another highlight. Activities included a public field tour. WGCF planted 251 hectares with 230,800 seedlings last year. The planting was done by a company from Dunster that hired several local planters. The use of fertilizer at the time of planting continues at selected sites. Fertilizing provided to the seedling reduces the need for brushing later. The community forest brushed 71.8 ha last year to reduce the impacts of competing hardwoods on Douglas fir and lodgepole pine. Map shows the location of Wells Gray Community Forest's three operating areas: Raft, East Blackpool and Burnell.

Highway 5 North work to begin in June Kamloops This Week Construction of new passing lanes and commercial truck pullout will soon begin on Highway 5 north of Kamloops. Just over two kilometres of Highway 5 will be widened to include a passing lane, south of McLure. In addition, a Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement (CVSE) pullout will be constructed, providing a safe place for commercial drivers to rest and for CVSE to conduct mobile inspections. As well, the pullout will include toilet facilities. Work is scheduled to begin in June, with completion anticipated in October of 2016. Engineering work has begun at the second location for new passing lanes near Darfield between Barriere and Little Fort. A new, threekilometre southbound passing lane will be added and the existing northbound passing lane will be extended by 2.7 kilometres. Kamloops-North

Thompson MLA Terry Lake, in whose riding the improvements will be made, noted the volume of traffic on the stretch of

highway has increased by about eight per cent since 2010. “In the past few years, we’ve resurfaced sections of the high-

way, added new guardrails and constructed new passing lanes at Chappel Creek and Camp Creek,” Lake said.

RAFT group seeks to sponsor second Syrian family Editor: The Times

Last fall a community meeting was held to determine what interest there was for Clearwater to sponsor a refugee family from Syria. Clearwater responded with generosity in donations, fundraising and sharing talents. At the beginning of February the Hamra family arrived. Immediately the core volunteer group fell in love with the two lovely preschoolers. On March 5 a beautiful baby boy was born. Volunteers worked with the family to set up banking, post office services, English

lessons, shopping, preschool activities and medical appointments. Working through interpreters, the family made known their desire to move to Kamloops where there are people who speak Arabic and where they could attend a mosque. Working with the Refugees and Friends Together (RAFT) group in Kamloops, it was decided to honor the family’s wishes and in the beginning of April the family moved to Kamloops. When I visited the family recently, they expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the

people of Clearwater for helping them to get to Canada. They are happily settled into their new home and are attending English classes. RAFT in Clearwater retains the funds raised and is currently searching for another refugee family to live in our community. A meeting to update the public on the refugee resettlement will be held by RAFT in Kamloops at 7 p.m. on May 16 at Kamloops United Church. All are welcome.

NORTH THOMPSON

www.clearwatertimes.com Established September 23, 1964 Member, BC Press Council

On Oct. 8, 1871, strong winds drove a forest fire into the town of Pestigo, Wisconsin, totally destroying it. Between 1,200 and 2,500 people are thought to have been killed – accurate figures are impossible to obtain as all the local records were lost as well. The dry conditions and strong winds created a firestorm strong enough to throw rail cars and houses into the air. Nearly 5,000 square kilometres or 1.2 million acres of forest were consumed, as were 12 communities. It was the deadliest fire in U.S. history. Paradoxically, it is almost forgotten now because the Great Chicago Fire happened the same day. Last week a forest fire forced over 80,000 people to evacuate Fort McMurray, Alberta. Thanks to much good luck and some good management, no one was killed or seriously injured (except possibly two fatalities in a car crash). As what happened at Peshtigo shows, however, things could be quite different the next time. May 7 was Wildfire Community Preparedness Day and local residents showed plenty of interest at a FireSmart display put on by local firefighters during Clearwater Farmers Market on Saturday morning. That was a healthy sign. We as citizens need to take the primary responsibility for ensuring our own preparedness. Governments are wonderful inventions, but we cannot expect them to solve all our problems for us. In 2003 the wildfires in the North Thompson were the top of the provincial priorities – until the Kelowna fire began. For a short while the Clearwater to Blue

River area had no electricity, no highway access in or out, and limited communication with the outside world. The forest was extremely dry and, if there had been a fire within any of the communities, it would have been a serious situation indeed. Lecturing is easy to do. Here is what your editor plans to actually make happen. • Individual preparedness: Back in 2003 and for several years afterwards I carried an evacuation kit in my vehicle – food and water for 72 hours, extra clothing, photocopies of important documents, that kind of thing. I intend to get back into that habit, as well as review and update other evacuation plans. I also intend to keep my gas tank topped up. • Neighbourhood preparedness: Several years ago the apartment building I live in started work on a fire emergency plan. I intend to work with strata council and the other residents to update and implement that plan. • Community preparedness: Your editor is going to badger town council and other local governments to make sure their emergency plans are up-to-date and communicated to the public. • Preparedness at the provincial and national level – Look for editorials on this. • Working to control climate change: Your editor, as a private citizen, will continue to campaign for carbon fee-and-dividend as a way to help control fossil fuel use and encourage the change to alternative sources of energy. Despite what some people tell us, the world's climate is getting warmer, human beings are causing it and, unless some things change, wildfires are only going to get more common and more severe.

Alzheimer's walk was a success

Editor, The Times:

We would like to thank all the volunteers, donors, and walkers who helped make this year’s Walk For Alzheimer’s another great success. Although the final figures are not in (people can donate until May 15 for this year’s walk), we’ve already passed $10,000 for the second time!

And really, if you count in the value of all the donated items that were used in the raffle, silent auction and door prizes ... well, it is amazing how much the businesses and residents of this valley have given to this special event. This year, there were participants not only from Barriere and Clearwater, but also from

Kamloops, Clinton, Louis Creek, Heffley Creek and Little Fort. Thank you everyone for supporting this important cause. We hope to see you again next year.

Growing trees for climate change Tom Fletcher, Black Press Disagreements persist on the extent of humanity’s role in the current changes to B.C.’s climate, and our ability to influence it, as many readers have told me in the past week. But almost everyone seems to agree that growing more and healthier forests is a good strategy. I would add that harvesting and building with wood preserves its captured carbon, a fact not much discussed in emotional appeals against logging. The B.C. government is finally spending some money on community fuel load removal projects this year, after an initial flurry following the Kelowna fires of 2003 faded in hard times. But the effects of decades of fire suppression in a fire-dependent forest system remain, as northern B.C. and Alberta are showing us again. There is some positive news here. A Victoria-based government research team has published a study that calculates B.C.’s pine beetle-damaged forests are regenerating more quickly than expected.

Warmer temperatures, increased precipitation and the “fertilizer effect” of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are factors. “By 2020, the enhanced growth due to climate change and increased CO2 more than compensates for the carbon loss from dead, rotting trees,” said lead researcher Vivek Arora of the Canadian Centre for Modeling and Analysis. This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest fire loss that comes with gradually increasing temperatures and drier periods. The federal government is still working on its plan to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal. I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge.” That’s a goal to reduce the industry’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a

year by 2030. That would be 13 per cent of the Canadian government emission target. One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more products that use wood. “It’s basically trying to use every part of the tree,” Nighbor said. “In forest operations right now, this is where we see a big part of the opportunity. Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.” That something might be a console in a luxury car constructed with wood fibre, or an 18-storey wood stu-

dent residence building planned for the University of B.C. The other is improving forest growth. Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada. Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more productive species, with genetic techniques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass. A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea that logging should be stopped to maximize storage.

Private sector should pay all of premier's salary Editor, The Times:

Those who argue that Christy Clark's $195,000 salary is inadequate make a reasonable point. For services rendered, she should receive at least as much as any top-level CEO employed in British Columbia's energy industry, and all her wages and benefits should be provided directly by the private sector. The provincial taxpayer would thereby be relieved of any financial burden, and having a new paymaster would make quite clear who this premier actually works for.

“Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says. “If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if harvesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.” If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests.

24-hour suspension, nine liquor seizures, and four liquor act charges. "Strict enforcement will continue," said Sgt. Rex Henry, NCO i/c of Clearwater RCMP. Clearwater Improvement District trustees approved extension of the water system to the Raft River area. Cost was estimated at $10,000 per parcel.

YEARS AGO:

B.C.'s Forest Practices Board completed an investigation of a complaint from residents in the East Blackpool area. The residents have been concerned that forestry activities above their properties were affecting their domestic water supply. The investigation found all the complaint issues unsubstantiated. Area park ranger Dave Montgomery asks local youth to please stop skateboarding in the parking lot at the Wells Gray Infocenter. "It's a safety issue," said Montgomery. "We're concerned about people getting injured."

YEARS AGO:

CSS students Steven MacFarlane and Michael Carmichael won gold at a Regional Skills Canada competition and advanced to the provincial level, where they scored fourth in their respective fields. The high school also received approval to enhance their trades program with Youth Exploring Skills to Industry Training, or

"Yes 2 It," slated to begin in the fall of 2006. Clearwater RCMP seized an illegal grow operation of marijuana on a property in Birch Island. Two residents were arrested without incident at the scene, with 863 plants seized. Clearwater Stock Car Association completed a renovation of the clay track facilities, providing a new surface to race on and new galvanized railing surrounding the track.

YEARS AGO:

M.P. Cathy McLeod was re-elected and the Conservative Party got a majority in Parliament as a result of a federal election. McLeod defeated her nearest rival, Michael Crawford of the NDP, by nearly 9,000 votes.

YEAR AGO:

Vavenby Volunteer Fire Department held an open house to celebrate its 45th year of operation and to recruit new members. Kamloops-Thompson school district had saved more than $1.1 million in energy consumption, a report told trustees. During the dozen years ending in the 2013-2014 school year, the biggest savings came in propane consumption (38 per cent) and electricity consumption (34 per cent). A change in Clearwater Secondary School from electric to propane heat in 2004 accounted for seven per cent of the electricity savings.

Travelling trio ignore polite police Clearwater RCMP Three Central Okanagan men are currently in custody and facing a multitude of charges, essentially as a result of failing to heed to an initial warning given by a Clearwater RCMP officer to slow down. On Wednesday, May 4, at 1:30 pm, a Clearwater RCMP officer was on patrol northbound on Highway 5 south of Little Fort, B.C. The officer observed through his rearview mirror two vehicles, also northbound, that were speeding. The officer pulled over to the side of the road and in an attempt to simply slow the vehicles down and carry on with his other duties, he activated his rear emergency lights to get the drivers' attention. The two vehicles then increased their speed and sped past him. The officer quickly rethought his strategy and activated his lights and siren and attempted to stop the vehicles. However, it quickly became apparent that the vehicles were not going to stop. As a result of the risk posed, the officer discontinued his attempts to stop the two vehicles. Extensive patrols conducted in the Little Fort area failed to locate the green Dodge Neon and blue VW Jetta. An officer did note fresh skid marks on Highway 24 turning off the highway onto a logging road, and came across a motorist who gave the typical nod and they went that a-way, when asked if he had seen the suspect cars. The suspect vehicles were eventually located four km up Blowdown Road, with the three males sitting on the ground behind the vehicles. Upon seeing police the suspects jumped back in their vehicles and tried to drive away, unfortunately for them the vehicles got stuck. The three subjects then ran into the bush. The officer noted that the vehicles were left in gear with wheels spinning. The antics of the trio were all caught on police dash cam video, stated Sgt Kevin Podbisky of Clearwater RCMP.

UNESCO Geopark for Wells Gray Park and its volcanoes. Some were concerned about how much the Geopark and its application might cost, she said. About 26 per cent of Canadians are “millennials” (young adults), she said, and they are second in buying power only to the baby boomers. “We need to look at things differently to attract those people,” she said, “things like better cell service, Internet ... it's like air to that generation.” “We might not be able to attract industry per se, but we can attract jobs,” Sim said. The town councillor was not the only Sim at the SILGA convention. Her daughter,

Sometime when things become so prevalent in our society, we forget they do have the potential for problems. NSAIDs is a class of pain-relieving medication that is highly advertised on the media and includes drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. They are available without prescription but they can raise the risk of heart attack in people with existing heart disease. If you do need pain relief, try acetaminophen and if you do use NSAIDs, use the lowest dose possible. Inhaled insulin is quite an attractive idea to diabetics who have to inject insulin daily. One version came on the market in the U.S. in June 2014 but the company pulled it from the market in January 2016. It never made it to Canada. Lowering your blood pressure is one of the best ways of reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, many people don’t even know they have high blood pressure. If you might be one of these, have your blood pressure checked soon. High blood pressure is easily treated and it could save your life. What’s in your toothpaste? It is still a good idea to use a toothpaste containing fluoride. It is proven to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. People worried about toxicity of fluoride (it is toxic in large doses), don’t have to worry about the minuscule amount in toothpaste. If you have an understanding of how medications work in your body, you will make a greater effort to take your medication as the doctor ordered. We can help.

The other specialty academy fees will remain the same for both Beattie School of the Arts campuses, three other academies at Brock (aquatics, soccer and dance), the hockey academy at Clearwater secondary and the Hockey Canada skills academy at Valleyview. The fees are charged to pay for materials, goods or services required for

each program. School District 73 has a hardship provision to help those who cannot afford the costs of the specialty programs. The district offers dozens of programs that come with enhancement fees, from art in its various forms to trades skills to sports. Not all schools offer the same choices; Lego robotics, for example, is only offered at Brock in grades 8 and 9, while metalwork is available at every secondary school except Logan Lake and Valleyview.

Sports Girls soccer team hosts Raiders Cup Times Staff

Clearwater Secondary School girls soccer team placed second in the Raiders Cup last weekend at the school. Nine teams from all over B.C. took part, with Merritt winning first place. Clearwater won three out of its four games, with scores of 2-0, 2-1, and 1-0 but lost to Merritt 3-0. Highlights include the local squad holding off a strong Burns Lake team and beating them 1-0. Clearwater’s two goaltenders could not make the second day and so Annie Butcher stepped in. She played two fantastic games – very impressive for the first time in goal. Next game for the team was in Barriere on Wednesday. A win there likely would put them in the Okanagan playoffs.

Some women brought their own tea cups. As people arrived at the door they were greeted by Barb Pennell, who pinned on them a decorative corsage of red or white roses with baby breath flowers. Pennell had made the corsages herself. Community garage sale in Vavenby The society sponsored a community garage sale on Saturday, May 7. It was a truly hot day for the sale but it went well.

Two women from South Africa, driving to Penticton, saw the sign on the highway about the garage sale. Not knowing what one was, they turned into Vavenby to go have a look. They bought items at a few houses.

Mortgage professionals can protect their clients’ families and their homes through a mortgage life insurance policy. Mortgage life insurance is simply a life insurance policy on the homeowner which will allow their family or dependents to pay off the mortgage on their home should something tragic happen to them. This is not to be confused with mortgage default insurance, which lenders require to cover their own assets if you have less than 20 per cent equity in your home. Mortgage life insurance is meant to protect the family of a homeowner and not the mortgage lender itself. While it is nice to think that if you were to pass away your mortgage would be paid off, is it really necessary for you to pay for this service? If you already have an adequate amount of life insurance then the answer might be no. If you are the primary breadwinner in your home and your death would leave your family without the means to pay for the mortgage, then mortgage life insurance might be a good option. When looking at mortgage life insurance policies, it’s important to know if the policy that you choose is portable, and if it’s backed by a large organization. A mortgage professional will take you through the ins-and-outs of mortgage life insurance. By evaluating what you really need, and the differences in coverage and costs, you can make the best decisions for you and your loved ones.

Aud was the youngest of 5 surviving siblings born to Ottar and Anna (Ertvag) Novik. Born in Bremsnes, Norway, her homeland experience was measured in scant months. Crowded into a 72-foot fish boat, the abrupt departure of the extended family was necessitated by WWII invasion. The Vancouver newspaper headline read: “Escaped from Nazis - Norwegian Family Flees Here to Join B.C. Fishing Fleet”. And so began the journey of one feisty, gritty, determined, devil-maycare, adventure seeking, travel-loving, creative, intelligent, pint-sized dynamo of a woman. Aud was predeceased by her much adored husband Elmer DeBock; sisters Astrid Forrest and Petra Seymour; and her brother Kaare. She is survived by sisters, Edith “Edie” Novik and Ann Drevland; Sister-in-law Bjorg Novik and Brotherin-law Joe Seymour. Nieces Caulette Snider (Dave McClellan), Sandra Seymour

Nahornoff (Larry), Randi Drevland and Roseanne Drevland. Nephews Tim Snider (Rachelle), Rick Forrest (Jan), Joe Seymour, Arne Kaare Novik. Grand nieces Sarrah Nahornoff Storey (Jim); Morgan Nahornoff Danilec (Radek), Angela Nahornoff and Karlynn Forrest. Grand nephews: Dennis Forrest and Kyle Nahornoff. Aud worked administrative positions in Vancouver, Thunder Bay and Kamloops. When she moved to Clearwater in the 1990’s, she immersed her creative energy into “The Flower Hut”,

her own business. From this social hub, many relationships within the community ‘blossomed’. On an auspicious day, Elmer Debock entered her shop to buy blooms for his mother; then another day, and another. Aud was smitten! One evening, while attending a Fish & Game dinner, Aud screwed up her courage to blurt out “I love you!”…. and promptly darted homeward. Under Elmer’s tutelage, Aud added hunting and prospecting to her outdoor interests. Alongside Elmer, she was an active member of both the Rod & Gun Club and Rock Hounds.

May 12 - 18, 2016 Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals. This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer December 22– you off course. January 19

January 20– February 18

February 19– March 20

Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth. Word things carefully. Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces.

March 21– April 19

A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas.

June 22– July 22

You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have September 23– to do is reach out for October 22 assistance.

Libra, when things become complicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem.

Leo, you have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others.

Listen carefully to your intuition this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for August 23– November 22– September 22 a bit. December 21

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

October 23– November 21

Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming.

For 13 years, Aud remained undaunted by illness. Her strength of character was heavily infused with Grade ‘A’ stubbornness that buoyed her through cancer, stroke and kidney disease. A hearty “I’m FINE!” was her constant mantra. When her beloved husband Elmer died in 2014, her enduring spirit was gutted by loss and grief. A ‘small stroke’ minimized her zesty personality. Cancer returned. On February 1, 2016, Kalvin Wilde escorted his physically diminished friend to Clearwater’s medical clinic. Keenly resistant to being admitted, Aud submitted to tests, resulting in immediate transport to Kamloops Royal Inland Hospital for dialysis. There she languished for 39 days. On March 10, she gratefully returned to ‘close to home’ at Clearwater’s Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital. Ten days later, Forest View Place provided a palliative room. In this lovely space, she received weeks of kind, gentle and supportive care. She genuinely enjoyed many of her remaining days. Friends and family visited and called at every opportunity, of which there were many. On the weekend prior to her passing, Andrea and Ed took her on an excursion to Dunn Lake. At the picnic, Aud devoured two hotdogs and an ample slice of cake while she revelled in the enjoyment of a beautiful spring day in the company of

beloved and trusted friends. During the midafternoon of April 30th, Kalvin held her hand and stroked her hair while Aud took her last breath. He gently closed her eyes and he wept. Aud was gifted with a peaceful departure as her cherished friend watched over her. Unintentionally, she frequently called him “Kalmer”. Somehow, he embodied the love and faith she had in both her husband and dedicated care-giver friend. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to the extraordinary staff at Forest View Place, Clearwater Hospice, Dr. Helmcken’s Memorial and Royal Inland Hospitals. The calibre of care was exceptional …exceptional …exceptional. Home Health Coordinator Janice Wyatt was instrumental in Aud’s quality of care many months prior to her hospitalization. Clearwater’s Hospice ladies were so genuine and consistent with their visits. Thank you, thank you and thank you. Friends were tremendously dedicated and supportive. Andrea Lenny, Sharon and David Zirul and of course, Kalvin Wilde were remarkably steadfast in the love given and time spent with Aud. Grateful thanks to family and friends and EVERY INDIVIDUAL who visited, phoned to inquire after her wellbeing, and travelled to share a little more time with the highly colourful personality that was Aud. A gathering to Remember the Life of Aud DeBock will take place on Saturday, May14, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel at Drake Cremation & Funeral Services, 73 Taren Drive, Clearwater, 250-674-3030.

Pioneer Jack Harby and family homestead by Dutch Lake Editor’s Note: The following article about Clearwater pioneer Jack Harby appeared in the Nov. 27, 1974 issue of the Times. Jack and Marjorie Harby had two children – Shirley and John Arthur (Art). Jack died in 1975 and Marjorie, with the assistance of an uncle, raised Shirley’s four children. Marjorie passed away in 2006. Jack’s father, also named Jack Harby, died in 1948, while his mother, Margaret Harby, passed away in 1978 at the age of 98. Members of the family still live in the house by the lake. Jack Harby arrived in the Clearwater area with his family from New Westminster on March 19, 1920 at the tail end of a hard winter. At the time, there was still three feet of snow on the ground. Jack was a young man of 13 then, and came here with his father, mother and three sisters. It was his father’s idea to join his brother (William George) and jointly run the ferry, the store and a stopping place for travellers. The whole area at the time was raw wilderness, pure timber country. Later on father, son and family homesteaded on 158 acres bordering on Dutch Lake. The family then lived in the old log cabin still sitting on the shore of the lake.

Strawberry plants form neat rows on the Harby farm next to Dutch Lake. Growing strawberries helped the family through the Great Depression of the 1930s. Photo courtesy of the Harby family

father did some guiding into Trophy Mountains. He also worked on his place and did some road work. Jack first met his future bride, Marjorie MacLennan, at school, a small log school, then located near the present Clearwater

high school. In 1934 Jack and Marjorie MacLennan were married. This was during the hard times and there wasn’t much work to be had. Jack put in some years at the Clearwater General Store and worked for 13 years at the Camp Two sawmill

in Clearwater. Today (1974) he lives with his wife and four grandchildren on the edge of Dutch Lake in a rough-hewed home that he himself built in 1933. It is very cosy and attractive, and all the heating and cooking is done with wood.

Jack and Marjorie Harby get away from their place next to Dutch Lake to do some mountain climbing. It appears they are on the west ridge of Raft Peak, possibly in the 1960s. Photo courtesy of the Harby family

Jack says that at that time there was dense wilderness all around the lake, with no less than 3,000 ducks each season and numerous geese and beaver inhabiting the lake. Jack says it was unbelievably different from the way Dutch Lake is now. There were four homesteads on the lake then. These belonged to the Harbys, Mr. Newman,

Mr. Brookfield and Otto Miller. Most of the homesteaders around were bachelors, I presume women weren’t so inclined to tackle the raw wilderness. These homesteaders were mostly German; hence the lake became Dutch Lake. In 1922, a Mr. W. Grant arrived in the area from Gordonhead, Vancouver Island, and

introduced strawberry growing. Jack Harby’s family put in two acres of berries, the main portion of which were shipped to Edmonton. It was a somewhat risky business, they found out, dependent on the weather and shipping conditions. But it kept the family going for some time. In the hungry 30s there wasn’t much work around. Jack’s
