Are Clearwater taxpayers prepared to pay close to $4.4

million to upgrade Dutch Lake Park and the nearby Bampton Recreation Area?

That was the ques-

tion town council was asking after looking at consultants Urban Systems' design report during their regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 20.

The report detailed a concept plan for Bampton Recreation Area that integrates with a previous design plan by Stantec for Dutch Lake Park (done before the District acquired the recreation area).

Major item on the bill would be $684,000 to build a new con-crete block amenity building to replace the existing washroom/change room facility.

The new build-ing would include a concession. A plaza would partially sur-round the building and connect with adjacent park features.

An asphalt park-ing lot plus a multi-use path was estimat-ed to cost $400,000.

The parking lot would include a small roundabout in front

of the amenity build-ing plus bus parking.

A boardwalk along the shore of Dutch Lake is projected to cost $236,000.

The existing dock would be relocated and increased in size.

A second dock

would frame the high use aquatic area. It would lead out to a floating gazebo, would provide com-fortable seating and viewing.

The key feature in the Bampton Recreation Area would be a small

amphitheatre. Focal point of the amphi-theatre would be a stage set within an earthen berm and flanked by planting to create a naturalis-tic effect.

Because of the projected cost, town council will ask the

consultants to break the project down into several phases.

Council also will have the Dutch Lake Beach/Bampton Recreation Area plan shown for public comment during a budget open house to be held Feb. 12.

Times Staff

During its regular meet-ing on Thursday, Jan. 16, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board approved a request to rezone a 4.05 ha property in the Wells Gray Park area from RL-1: Rural to C-4: Recreational Commercial.

The re-zoning will enable an existing legally non-conforming resort to develop eight additional rentable units.

The resort, known as Across the Creek Cabins and located 18 km north of Clearwater on Clearwater Valley Road, has three rent-able cabins already. These received zoning approval in 1997. However, the zoning bylaw was changed in 2011, meaning the existing cabins are still legal but any addi-tional rental accommodation would need a zoning change.

The property owner agreed to a covenant restricting the number of rental units to 11.

Capital grants approved for SAR groups

The TNRD board voted to provide a capital grant of $8,500 to Wells Gray Search and Rescue. It also awarded a $16,000 capital grant to Kamloops Search and Rescue.

Committee appointmentsA number of appointments

were made to TNRD commit-tees:

Judy Tobin and Ray Rosoman were appointed to the Vavenby Fire Department.

Brenda Norman was appointed to the Blackpool Fire Hall.

Bill Ludtke was appointed to the Wells Gray Country ser-vices committee.

Katherine Chrystall was appointed to the Vavenby Community Park working group as Bob Rexin was rescinded.

Hazel Wadlegger was appointed to the Joint Services committee and Tourism Wells Gray.

Approval to submit applications to Building Canada Fund

Staff was authorized to submit applications to the New Building Canada Fund Small Communities Fund to fund four infrastructure projects listed in priority as follows:

1. Black Pines com-munity water system intake

2. Pritchard community sewer system solids man-agement

3. Savona community water system reservoir

4. Blue River landfill closureThe regional district is

allowed to submit one appli-cation per community. If approved, the projects would be funded one-third federal, one-third provincial, and one-third from the proponent.

Preliminary estimates of the cost of decommissioning the former Blue River landfill range from $500,000 to $1 mil-lion.

Considerable work would be required to contour the landfill, improve site drainage and provide a proper landfill cover.

The Blue River transfer sta-tion was situated on top of the former landfill from the mid-1990s.

The new Blue River eco-depot opened in November, 2014, and the former land-fill and septage pit are to be decommissioned.

Time to make an appointmentNow that Clearwater Medical Clinic has a full complement of doctors, the non-medical staff there invite local residents to make an appointment.

WHATS HAPPENING?

BIG, BRIGHT THANK YOU! On behalf of the Community Christmas Light Up Committee and participants, we would like to extend our appreciation to all the businesses and community members that braved the elements and brightened the town during the holiday season. Additionally, we would like to thank the District of Clearwater and the United Way for their sponsorship as well as Home Hardware and Rona for offering special pricing on their Christmas decorations businesses looking to participate. Our first year was a fun first effort. We loved the Yeti on top of the Wells Gray Inn, the little trees lit up on various homes and businesses as well as the gorgeous display that Rotary does at the Information Centre. On top of the Dutch Lake Beach House, Santa and his reindeer provided great amusement during the season and we want to thank Gord Heisterman for keeping the snow clear and Santa on the straight and arrow! We also wish to acknowledge the assistance of Jon Kreke, Ken Kjenstad and Barry Banford with set up. We look forward to expanding our efforts next year. There is something magical about Christmas lights. During December, the drive between Clearwater and Kamloops is always so interesting looking at the various displays along the highway and hearing the oooos and ahhhhs from the back seat of the car. We had many amazing displays within our community. Thank you to everyone who played a part. We cant wait to see what kind of creativity comes next year!

Wolf kill last hope for caribou Guest editorial by Tom Fletcher

Newspaper not the soul of the community

VICTORIA When the B.C. government last resorted to shooting wolves from helicop-ters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat.

In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didnt get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists.

This winter, while snow reveals the wolves location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task.

The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation efforts by governments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio collars. There were 46 in 2009, only 27 by 2012, and wolves have killed two more since last spring.

Targeted hunting and trapping havent been sufficient, so up to 24 grey wolves are to be shot from the air before the snow melts.

There are seven caribou herds in the South Peace, with the Graham herd the largest at about 700. Its the control group, left to fend for itself as a measure of wolf removal for the rest. The Burnt Pine herd is down to one bull, effectively extinct. The province and Treaty 8 First Nations are working on a plan to kill 120-160 wolves in that region.

Its long been accepted that resource roads, logging and recreational trail use have increased herd disruption and predator access through what would otherwise be seamless bush and deep snow.

Snowmobiles and even back-country skiers can shift the balance. Smithers-area outdoor enthusiasts are currently being urged to stay away from the Telkwa Mountains, where the caribou herd is down to fewer than 20 ani-mals. Local hunting and snowmobile clubs have observed a ban on motorized travel since 2003, but of course there will always be yahoos who chase animals for fun.

A mountain caribou recovery plan was implemented in 2007, protecting 2.2 million hectares from logging and road-building, including most of the core habitat of the

South Selkirk herd. The Nature Conservancy of Canada bought 550 square kilometres in that region to protect habitat.

Strategies include transplanting animals from healthier to weaker herds to increase genetic diversity, and capturing and penning females with young calves to keep them from being picked off by wolves.

The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range.

This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrass-ing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-mining-energy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers.

Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to save them.

Now theyre shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is impor-tant.

I suppose well never know what differ-ence the 1980s wolf kill would have made if it hadnt been shouted down for TV ratings and urban enviro-donations.

Editor, the Times;After reading your editorial

Small town newspapers are the soul of their communities, I decided it was time to write a letter to the editor!

I hate to deflate your puffed ego, but the soul of the community can be many different things to many people.

For some, it might be the church, or the school, or maybe even our new shopping centre. You might

even dip into the shallow end of the gene pool and find that, to some, it might be the roundabout!

It is my opinion that all these things combined make The Soul of the Community. So you see, Mr. Editor, you and your paper are not The Soul of the Community, just a soul of the community.

Editor, The Times:Upon returning

home this past week with my brand new knee I was concerned about where I would be able to exercise it.

What a delight to find the sidewalks in

my neighbourhood cleared of snow ... huge feelings of grati-tude for the street clearing crew, and for the Red Cross who loans out medical equipment washed over me as I enjoyed

a stroll in the morn-ing fog.

Thank you, District of Clearwater. Thank you, Red Cross.

Editor, The Times:Last year Heart and Stroke

in Clearwater were very close to reaching $5,000. Here is my challenge to donors and volun-teers; let's see if we can meet or exceed this goal.

We are still in need of vol-unteers for many areas of Clearwater. Volunteering for Heart and Stroke does not mean your are committed to life for one cause. It is one or two after-noons, mornings or evenings, within the month of February. You pick your days.

Heart and Stroke has many volunteers that come and go and come back again. Most volunteers love coming back each year. We have volunteers in Clearwater that have canvassed

for 20 years.I will phone and ask if you

wish to volunteer each year and you do not have to feel guilty, if you say, "No."

Most volunteers come back in future years. It is understandable that certain years we get busier than others.

If you would like to try can-vassing this year, I would be glad to help you get started. It is easier to tell you the neighbourhoods that to date will be covered, than those that do not have a door to door canvas-er. Currently we only have cover-age for Kershaw, Greer, Jenkins Rd, Birch Island and Sunshine Valley. So you can see the need is great.

The Heart and Stroke

Foundation also is set up for on-line donations and if you wish to raise funds in this matter you may contact myself, Wendy Grimm at 250-674-6806.

Most donors like to have a canvasser come to the door and be issued a receipt when they give. Reaching these donors is crucial and results in a greater number of donors giving, resulting in more money raised for the cause.

Buy-Low Foods has allowed the Heart and Stroke Foundation to set up for the first time in Clearwater. This will help our volunteers reach those donors who live rural or just like the convenience of mak-ing a donation during your

daily routine.Please feel free to stop by our

table and pick up some literature and learn how to help prevent heart attacks and stroke, learn the symptoms and what to do next. Come to Buy-Low Foods and enter your name in our draw.

Watch for the paper hearts, red mittens and heart pins for sale at various locations around town.

Jessa Tantrum (with Bo Carter): Yes, I will. At work (in the Sportsplex), I have to.

Jordene Conroy:I would love to do that.

Murray Stockton:No, I have driver's license issues that pretty well preclude that, though I'd love to.

Denise Conroy:Definitely. That would be a lot of fun.

Kaydn Jones: I'll be snowboarding and maybe some skating.?

Medical staff ready to serve the community at Clearwater clinicEditor, The Times:

The doctors and staff of Clearwater Medical Clinic would like to let the com-munity know about what's new at the clinic.

We now have five regular doctors work-ing in the clinic after a period when Dr Soles was the only regular physician in Clearwater. We are all very grateful to him for the exception-ally hard work he put in over this period when the clinic was frequently staffed by locum doctors work-ing there for short periods.

The new doctors are Dr Broadbent, Dr Gwyn, Dr Liciu and Dr Walton.

We also have an excellent, experienced team of receptionists

and support staff at the clinic.

The new doctors are all seeing new patients and are keen to build up their practices. We know that there are lots of patients on the books at the clinic who haven't been in recently and there are lots of doctors to see them now. This is a good time to make an appointment!

There is likely quite a bit of unmet need for people in the com-munity with chronic illnesses such as dia-betes, heart disease, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Sometimes their care is complicated and having a regular doc-tor to follow up with can make all the dif-ference. This is now available for everyone

who needs it.The clinic doctors

offer a full spectrum of care which means that we looks after prenatal appoint-ments and well woman care, see chil-dren for their routine health checks and deal with appoint-ments for drivers' medicals, Workers Compensation Board and insurance issues. For anything that requires a visit to a specialist we are well supported by an excellent referral hos-pitals in Kamloops and Kelowna, which have a very broad range of specialty ser-vices. We are also for-tunate to have visiting paediatric and ortho-paedic specialists who do regular clinics in Clearwater.

All the physicians

at the clinic also work at the Helmcken Memorial Hospital in Clearwater and look after patients who are admitted there or come to the emer-gency department. All the doctors do minor procedures such as removing abnormal skin moles, fitting IUDs and injecting inflamed joints.

Unfortunately Clearwater's hospi-tal no longer offers planned maternity care as this has moved to Kamloops.

We would like everyone in the com-munity to know that the clinic is well staffed and that we are ready to look after their health!

Dr. Broadbent, Dr. Gwyn, Dr. Liciu, Dr.

Walton and Dr. Soles

LIFE WITH PETS

The puppy I saw a few weeks ago was a sad sight. Thin, depressed with dry, ragged fur. She stood still on the exam table, hardly acknowledging the people around her. She was unmistakably miserable. She was also on her third home in almost as many weeks. The problem? This puppy reportedly could not be housetrained and insisted on hav-ing accidents in the house. Fortunately for this little girl, she ended up in the hands of a kindhearted person with a great deal of experience with dogs. This person immedi-ately recognized that the puppy drank enor-mous amounts of water. No wonder she kept urinating in the house!With a physical and a few simple tests,

we determined that this puppy had a severe bladder infection. She had multiple types of bacteria that had taken up residence in her bladder. As a result, she instinctively drank water in an attempt to dilute her urine and essentially try to rid her body of the infec-tion. Animals in the wild would do the same thing, since they have no other options. Fast forward a few weeks and this little

lady is almost unrecongnizable. She has gained weight, her coat is shiny, she is lively, playful and she is now on her way to being successfully housetrained. Truly a happy ending, but the sad fact remains that this

puppy need not have gone through all this suffering. Many medical problems look like behavioural issues.Housetraining problems in young animals

may indicate an infection or a congenital (birth) defect that makes it dif cult or impos-sible for the pet to control their elimination. Older animals that begin to have accidents in the house or become incontinent may be suffering from kidney problems, diabetes or may have lost the nerve or muscle func-tion required for bladder or bowel control. Many of these issues are quite treatable.Personality changes, such as depression,

lethargy or even aggressive behaviour may occur when a pet is in pain. Changes in ap-petite or eating habits can indicate hormon-al imbalance, nausea, dental pain as well as many other conditions. Pets that scratch, lick or chew at themselves often suffer from allergies. The rst step is recognizing when there is a change in your animals attitude or behaviour. The second step should be a trip to your family veterinarian. And, nally, a word of thanks and sincere

appreciation to the person who rescued this puppy. Countless lives have been saved a result of the work you do on behalf of these dogs.

CLEARWATER, 250-674-3122

Couples having difficulty conceiving a child and are smokers are being told to stop smoking. Studies have shown that there was a 64 per cent rise in miscarriages where either husband or wife smoked 1-2 packs of cigarettes per day.

Youve heard the expression youre all wet!? Its true that the human body is made up largely of water. Our bones are 20 per cent water. Our brain is 70 per cent water while our blood contains 80 per cent water. On average we contain about 57 per cent water and about 60 elements found in chemistrys periodic table. Great design!

Heels are susceptible to painful cracking. This is due to excessively dry skin and continually being subjected to friction and pressure. There are some good products to help control this condition. Talk to our pharmacists for advice on how to heal (sorry!) this problem.

When receiving a new prescription, patients often ask their pharmacist if they can have a drink of wine or other alcoholic beverages. It does depend on the drug and very often moderate consumption will have no effect on the drugs effect. We will ensure you are made aware of significant interactions and remind you with an auxiliary label on your prescription bottle

You always want to get the best effect with the least side effects from your medication. Our pharmacists will help you reach this goal.


Dale Bass KTW

Gerald Watson expects his fel-low trustees will be in favour of a new policy that could put to rest an ongoing concern raised about how the Kamloops-Thompson school district deals with homophobia.

Watson, who chairs the school districts policy committee, planned to introduced the new policy at the board meeting on Monday, Jan. 26.

It is expected to be put to a vote on Monday, Feb. 2.

In the summer of 2013, the issue about the existing policy came to a head after a South Kamloops secondary student com-pleted a project on homophobic bullying.

The student felt the existing

policy was inadequate and made a presentation to trustees, who referred it to Watsons commit-tee and asked for input from the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers Association (KTTA) and the dis-tricts parent-advisory council.

That review led the committee to decide the existing policy was adequate.

But, it had a lot of media play at the time, Watson said, noting school-district Supt. Karl deBruijn wanted to address the issue.

And he did a review of other districts, Watson said. He wanted something more modern and I think this policy fits.

The existing policy, which Watsons motion would delete, is titled Race Relations and does not include reference to homopho-bia.

The proposed policy references the provinces Human Rights Code and sets out several require-ments for the district to address racism, homopho-bia or any other form of discrimination.

It would commit the board to support:

Creating an environ-ment in the school district that promotes non-discrim-ination consistent with the Human Rights Code;

Hiring employees on the basis of merit consistent with human rights;

Providing students with educational programs that will assist them in participat-ing in and contributing to a diverse society;

Reducing language and

cultural barriers; Communicating effec-

tively with all students, parents,

employees and other partner groups in the diverse community.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional Districts (TNRD) board of directors announced Tuesday that a five-year agree-ment has been reached with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 900.

The current collective agree-

ment expired on Dec. 31, 2013.The agreement applies to

unionized staff in the TNRD, including administration, plan-ning, building inspection, envi-ronmental services and utilities.

The board of directors is pleased with the results of the agreement and is looking for-ward to the stability that a lon-

ger term agreement provides, said TNRD chair John Ranta.

The new collective agree-ment is in effect from Jan. 1, 2014, through to Dec. 31, 2018.

A key element of the new collective agreement is a 1.65 per cent raise per year for the five years of the agreement.

Dr. John Soles points to masts on the top of the Clearwater Medi-cal Centre building that were damaged by a vehicle driving through the parking lot sometime during the weekend. The telephone and fibre-optic lines were ripped out of their connec-tions in the basement. This was significant because the staff rely on the fibre-optic for medical records communication.

North Thompson Star/Journal

On Monday, Jan. 20 just before 6 p.m., Barriere RCMP were requested to make

patrols for a miss-ing person from Richmond who was reported to have been seen in the Kamloops area earlier.

Police received information that the vehicle was spot-ted on Highway 5, northbound out of Kamloops, so patrols were made south to McLure. There was further information received that the vehicle was spotted on Westsyde Road, travelling north of

Kamloops and last seen around 5:31 p.m.

The Barriere RCMP member turned northbound on Highway 5 and located the subject vehicle travelling slowly south-bound on Highway 5 through the Fishtrap Canyon area. The vehicle was stopped and the identity of the driver was con-firmed to be that of an 89-year-old woman from Richmond who had been reported missing on Jan. 19.

The vehicle was moved off the high-way to a safe location and further discus-sion with the female took place with information gathered about her travels. BC Ambulance was contacted to check her well-being, and after assessment, she was trans-ported to the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for further assessment by medi-cal personnel.

The family was

immediately con-tacted and updated with her condition and location so they could make plans to assist their mother.

Police say that it appears the lady had driven in confusion from Richmond to the Barriere area since leaving her home on Jan. 19. She apparently suffers from a mild form of dementia and has driven long distances in a similar fashion in the past.

Police say thanks for supportClearwater RCMP would like to thank

Clearwater and its surrounding communi-ties for their support in regards to the fallen RCMP constable out of St. Albert, Cst. David Wynn.

The detachment has received condolences in both written and verbal form from many people within the last week.

Police agencies all over North America have been witness to trying times lately and all sup-port being given is appreciated.

Warrant executedEarlier this week Clearwater RCMP

responded to a suspicious person complaint.Once arriving at the scene, a female was

spoken to. Her identity was confirmed and it was discovered she had a warrant out of Kamloops for failing to attend the detachment there and give fingerprints, which was a result of an assault causing bodily harm charge.

Police arrested the female and took her back to the Clearwater RCMP detachment, where she was dealt with accordingly.

Yay for warm weather?The weather is abnormally warm for this

time of the year, which is great for skiing, snowshoeing and other outdoor activities. Not so great for driving.

The warm melty weather gives us a false sense of security that the roads are in good shape.

This may be the case for the daytime driv-ers. However, remember that it still gets cold once the sun sets and all that fresh water turns into ice.

We know it's warm and we want you to enjoy the warm weather, but proceed with cau-tion!

Times Staff A head-on crash 18 km north of Blue River on Friday took life of a Vernon man.

The incident occurred happened around 4 p.m. and blocked Highway 5 for some time.

The man was driv-ing a pick-up truck at the time and col-lided head-on with a tractor-trailer.

The pick-up's driver died at the scene. However, two other men who were riding

in the pick-up were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The tractor-trailer's driver suffered minor injuries.

There was heavy snow and slushy con-ditions at the time of the crash, according to police. However, the cause is still under investigation.

Andrea Klassen Kamloops This Week

A proposal by a Kamloops councillor to add the Secwepemc language to some of the citys traffic signs has been stopped in its tracks by provincial legislation.

Coun. Donovan Cavers came up with the idea of adding estil, the Secwepemc word for stop, on the citys stop signs to acknowledge Kamloops aboriginal population and his-tory.

The practice of bilingual signs is already in place on the Thompson Rivers University campus and on the Tkemlups Indian Reserve border-ing the city.

However, in a report to council this week, traffic engineer Elnaz Ansari said the city is not permitted to add other languages or symbols to the signs due to provincial Motor Vehicle Act regulations.

Ansari also expressed concern regarding the safety of making stop signs bilingual.

From a risk-man-agement perspective,

an additional language should not be added to stop signs, even if it would not be contrary to the regulations, given that changing them could add confu-sion to motorists and potentially cause more risk, she wrote.

Cavers feels that second concern is taking risk manage-ment too far, at one point during Tuesdays (Jan. 20) council meet-ing holding up an iPad displaying a bilingual stop sign and asking fellow councillors if they would know how to respond while driv-ing.

Cavers also read aloud several online comments posted in response to a CBC story about the stop-sign debate, which attracted the attention of media on the Lower Mainland over the weekend.

The comments were generally critical of the provinces rules and city staffs recom-mendation to nix the bilingual signs.

Cavers argued giv-ing up on the stop signs will paint the city in a negative light.

Therell be a lot of people saying, Well, that speaks volumes about the City of

Kamloops, he said.Cavers pitch to

take the issue to a community-to-com-munity forum the city holds regularly with the Tkemlups council was ultimately unsuc-cessful, with several councillors preferring to focus on ways of promoting aboriginal heritage that dont contravene provincial rules.

Coun. Ken Christian would like to see the city discuss projects similar to those at Kamloops Airport, which has dis-plays explaining his-torical First Nations practices, or promot-ing local art.

I think the notion of just simply dotting the city with that par-ticular phrase is not doing service to what is a deeper and more meaningful conversa-tion we need to have, he said.

Coun. Arjun Singh agreed, arguing the stop-sign issue was bogging down debate.

Right now were starting to get mired, he said.

And, whatever CBC Vancouver said on Facebook, I dont care.

I really care about us doing something

for our community to honour our Tkemlups neighbours.

Only Cavers and Coun. Tina Lange voted to discuss the signs when the two councils meet this spring.

North Thompson Star/Journal

On Monday, Jan. 20 just before 6 p.m., Barriere RCMP were requested to make

patrols for a miss-ing person from Richmond who was reported to have been seen in the Kamloops area earlier.

Police received information that the vehicle was spot-ted on Highway 5, northbound out of Kamloops, so patrols were made south to McLure. There was further information received that the vehicle was spotted on Westsyde Road, travelling north of

Kamloops and last seen around 5:31 p.m.

The Barriere RCMP member turned northbound on Highway 5 and located the subject vehicle travelling slowly south-bound on Highway 5 through the Fishtrap Canyon area. The vehicle was stopped and the identity of the driver was con-firmed to be that of an 89-year-old woman from Richmond who had been reported missing on Jan. 19.

The vehicle was moved off the high-way to a safe location and further discus-sion with the female took place with information gathered about her travels. BC Ambulance was contacted to check her well-being, and after assessment, she was trans-ported to the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops for further assessment by medi-cal personnel.

The family was

immediately con-tacted and updated with her condition and location so they could make plans to assist their mother.

Police say that it appears the lady had driven in confusion from Richmond to the Barriere area since leaving her home on Jan. 19. She apparently suffers from a mild form of dementia and has driven long distances in a similar fashion in the past.

Police say thanks for supportClearwater RCMP would like to thank

Clearwater and its surrounding communi-ties for their support in regards to the fallen RCMP constable out of St. Albert, Cst. David Wynn.

The detachment has received condolences in both written and verbal form from many people within the last week.

Police agencies all over North America have been witness to trying times lately and all sup-port being given is appreciated.

Warrant executedEarlier this week Clearwater RCMP

responded to a suspicious person complaint.Once arriving at the scene, a female was

spoken to. Her identity was confirmed and it was discovered she had a warrant out of Kamloops for failing to attend the detachment there and give fingerprints, which was a result of an assault causing bodily harm charge.

Police arrested the female and took her back to the Clearwater RCMP detachment, where she was dealt with accordingly.

Yay for warm weather?The weather is abnormally warm for this

time of the year, which is great for skiing, snowshoeing and other outdoor activities. Not so great for driving.

The warm melty weather gives us a false sense of security that the roads are in good shape.

This may be the case for the daytime driv-ers. However, remember that it still gets cold once the sun sets and all that fresh water turns into ice.

We know it's warm and we want you to enjoy the warm weather, but proceed with cau-tion!

Times Staff A head-on crash 18 km north of Blue River on Friday took life of a Vernon man.

The incident occurred happened around 4 p.m. and blocked Highway 5 for some time.

The man was driv-ing a pick-up truck at the time and col-lided head-on with a tractor-trailer.

The pick-up's driver died at the scene. However, two other men who were riding

in the pick-up were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The tractor-trailer's driver suffered minor injuries.

There was heavy snow and slushy con-ditions at the time of the crash, according to police. However, the cause is still under investigation.

Valhalla Wilderness Watch

Slaughtering wolves fromhelicopters, trans-planting healthy animals to areas with little via-ble habitatleft, where they are quicklykilled by predators; some of our smallest and mostendan-gered herds of mountain caribou are receiving intensive efforts to boosttheir numbers.

These quickfixes aredisguising the wide-spread failure of B.C.s Recovery Plan and the failureof the B.C.government to correct the sellouts that have compromised theplan.

When the plan was announced in2008, B.C. had an estimated 1,885 mountain caribou. The stated goal was toincrease caribounumbers to 2,500 within 20 years; but today, with more thanone-third of the time passed, the govern-ment says there are only about1,500left.

In theWells Gray-North Thompson unit, the Groundhog caribou populationdropped by74 per cent between 2008 and 2011, from 23 ani-malsdown to six.

Overall, the Wells Gray-North Thompson Unit had 274 caribou in 2007, but the 2011cen-sus could only find 172 animals. There is evi-dence that some of theselosses may bedue to heavy snowmobile use.

The Recovery Plans Snowmobile Management Agreements (SMAs) allow snow-mobile clubs to developplans tovoluntarily stay out of caribou habitat and monitor themselves. Thisprogram has miserably failed.

In theNorth Thompson areasnowmobile trespasses have been recordedin the Foam Creek and the NorthBlue River closure zones.

In the North Thompson area, thegovernment is permitting the snowmobile clubs to maintain groomedsnowmobile trails thatgive wolves easy access to critical caribou habitat.

Mountain caribou are tragically disappear-ing,and the government is shamelessly using wolves as ascapegoat for what ithasnt done to protect the caribou.

Caribou recovery is failing disastrously
