Heavy snowpack prompts regional warning DAN WALTON dan@invermerevalleyecho.com Over the course of the winter months, mountains throughout the Kootenays have accumulated 135 per cent of the normal snowpack, prompting the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) to issue a seasonal flooding reminder. The current conditions have the potential to increase the severity of possible flooding, but the impact of a heavy snow pack depends largely upon the intensity of the runoff. “It’s important to understand that the level of the snow pack is less significant than the way the melting occurs,” said RDEK Communications Manager Loree Duczek. “For example, if we have a stretch of warm days and cool nights, the melt will be completely different than if we go into a string of really hot days, warm nights and rain.” In Fairmont Hot Springs, flooding

water,” Mr. DuBois said. “The water overflows the banks because the channel is filled with gravel. This process will happen every summer and winter for the next 20 years unless the government fixes the upstream problem.” Mr. DuBois said the resort will prepare as best it can with sandbags. In the regional district press flooding notice, Ms. Duczek reminds anyone affected to stay away from fast-moving water, reinforce properties situated in vulnerable regions, and report sudden changes in turbidity by calling 1-800-6633456 — a provincial co-ordination centre that will garner the quickest response. “If people notice creeks or rivers become suddenly chocolatey brown with large chunks of debris or if the flow suddenly decreases or stops, they should report it as soon as possible so the situation can be properly assessed by Provincial Flood Assessors,” warned Ms. Duczek.

Update your Driving Skills and Knowledge Consider the Simple Traffic Sign

Consider the simple traffic sign or signal. It stands by the side of the highway doing it’s job regardless of the season. We rely on it to tell us when to stop, how fast to go, which way to turn or whether we can travel in a certain direction, as well as many other controlling functions. This is a reliance that we might not consider until we run into trouble because it is lacking. What happens when vandals knock down one of the stop signs at a four way stop, and the intersection is approached by a driver who doesn’t know there should be a sign there? Cross traffic is expecting him to stop.....the rest is up to your imagination.

Artist’s concept (above) of the revitalized “The Mountains Shall Bring Peace to the People” sign structure in Radium Hot Springs (original sign below) by Inwood Robert & Associates Design. image submitted

Radium shall bring new signage to the valley Dan Walton dan@invermerevalleyecho.com

Radium Hot Springs has upgraded the esthetics of its communal greeting, but the message is remaining the same. After exiting Kootenay National Park and entering the Village of Radium Hot Springs, the wooden sign reading “Mountains shall bring peace to the people” has been greeting valley-bound motorists since 1928. Until recently, the sign dangled from chains on a basic wooden frame — two vertical pillars with a horizontal beam on top. Its replacement sees every aspect of the sign upgraded. “[Radium council] decid-

ed, after the sign posts had been broken one too many times, that it needed a more permanent home,” said Radium mayor Dee Conklin. “The entrance signs we have coming into Radium have served us well so we thought that a similar design with proper landscaping would be a fitting answer.” The new concept has the sign supported horizontally from giant wooden pillars, and sheltered by a metal roof with a standing seam. The sign itself has been refurbished, and at its base is a stone planter. A few minor changes were made that are different from the artist’s concept, said Mayor Conklin. The new sign was erected on Friday, May 16th.

Two charged in trap tampering not present for first court appearance Sally MacDonald Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Two men charged for tampering with deer traps in Kimberley earlier this year had brief court appearances in Cranbrook on Tuesday, May 20th. Neither Devin Kazakoff nor Lucky Sikora were personally in court on May 20th for their first appearance on charges of mischief and disguising the face to commit an offence. Legal counsel represented each man, and the cases were put over until June 16th. Kazakoff, a founder of the Invermere Deer Protection Society, and Sikora were arrested in February after RCMP alleged they were involved in an incident in Kimberley where deer traps were damaged.

Police said that two men were arrested early on February 27th in Kimberley after they were observed damaging a clover trap and fleeing the scene on foot and then in a vehicle. Police tracked the vehicle to a side road south of Kimberley and took the two men into custody. A police dog found netting from traps nearby, and a search of the vehicle found items police believe were used to tamper with the traps. Four traps in total were damaged. The City of Kimberley called off its cull after the traps — owned by the B.C. government — were taken out of commission. The incident came a few weeks after 10 clover traps were stolen from a government compound in Cranbrook. Police found seven of the traps in a bush nearby, six of which had been destroyed by fire.

Those who interfere with traffic signs and signals may be dealt with in a variety of ways. The most serious of these are found in the Criminal Code. In the case of simple damage, the mischief provisions might apply. If death or bodily harm to a person results, the criminal negligence provisions could be used. The Motor Vehicle Act also contains three sections, 135, 136 and 137 that apply to traffic signs and signals. Section 135 makes it an offence to erect or maintain a device on or near a highway that resembles or interferes with a traffic control device. Section 136 forbids placing of commercial advertising on a traffic control device. Finally, section 137 deals with altering, injuring or removing a traffic control device or any part of it. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit drivesmartbc.ca.

First Nation elects incumbent chief, three new councillors Steve Hubrecht steve@invermerevalleyecho.com

The Akisqnuk First Nation re-elected its chief and elected three new councillors last week. The May 20th election had 96 out of 206 eligible voters turn out and saw incumbent chief Lorne Shovar keep his position. Mr. Shovar will be joined on the Akisqnuk council by two new full four-year-term councillors, Allan Nicholas and Rosemary Phillips, and by another new councillor Don Sam, who will serve a half-term as he is taking over from a councillor who stepped down mid-term. The five-member council is rounded out by Lucille Shovar, who was elected to a four-year term in 2012. The Akisqnuk typically hold two staggered elections to determine the First Nation’s council, with just two or three councillors voted in for any given election. The re-

maining positions are then decided in another election a couple years later. This year was different, because of the councillor who was voted in at the 2012 election then stepped down mid-term, which in effect created a by-election situation. Two incumbent councillors Lorne Shovar (Beatrice Stevens and Marguerite Copper) and three other candidates (Jason Nicholas, Jennifer Nicholas-Hall and Lillian Rose) were on the ballot, but did not win a council seat. The previous council will continue to operate for a month with the new council sitting in to learn how things run before taking over.

LNG industry starts to look more like a pipe dream than a reality. A strategy of sustainable development that takes into account the province’s current greenhouse gas reduction policy could create the buy-in needed to make this industry work, but the first priority would be to determine what the landbase can handle. And according to a 2013 Forest Practices Board warning, the cumulative impacts of increasing resource development in B.C.remain unknown — and unmanaged.

A few hurdles on the horizon are complicating the BC Liberals’ ambitions, such as the $400 (US) billion natural gas deal between China and Russia announced last week that is now causing one of B.C.’s LNG suitors — Malaysia’s stateowned energy company, Petronas, that signed a letter of intent earlier this month with Clark — to suddenly demand a more “reasonable” tax rate or its pulling its plans for a B.C.-based LNG export terminal.Add inadequate skilled labour and First Nations’ opposition to the threat of cut-throat global competition — not to men-

The new multi-use facility, which will be a replacement and expansion of the existing Lake Windermere Memorial Hall, is still in the conceptual and planning stage. The new facility will likely exceed 15,000 square feet, and provide space to almost all of the existing user groups in the current community hall, as well as offer expanded main hall space, which will allow many functions to grow and the performing arts sector to have an exciting new venue. There will also be multi-purpose flexible use rooms — we are also considering 4,000 +/square feet of fitness centre space, which represents less than one third of the total new building space. The process the District of Invermere (DOI) council has used in planning and funding the new facility is unique: instead of investing a significant amount of time and money into a detailed design first and then requesting support from the community, we choose to bring a basic concept and a somewhat urgent need (the failing of the structure of the existing community hall) to the public and, if support for a new multi-use facility was gained (which it was), then we would figure out of all of the details about specific design, exact

size, exact budget, and which groups would get dedicated space, and which groups would have the opportunity to share space. Although the exact specifics were not known before the referendum last November, we did clearly articulate at the two open houses that a potential partnership with the non-profit Valley Fitness Centre (VFC) was being explored, and that a new municipal library would only be considered in future phases, and that we were hoping not to include municipal offices in the new facility in any phase (especially if we could find a more viable option for managing the facility). The VFC is not a business. The VFC is a non-profit society that provides both standard fitness gym operations as well as programming in, but not limited to, aerobics, yoga and spin — very similar to recreation programs offered by many towns and cities across Canada. The VFC pays a large number of independent contractors to provide these services. Rather than compete with private business, they help to support it! Unlike many other public institutions (i.e. ice arenas and libraries), the VFC does not receive direct operating funding from government, but rather relies on membership or user fees to cover their operaSee A11 tional costs.

Helping Kootenay bats hold on

Want to learn more about the unique world of bats? Do you want free mosquito control? Whether you want to promote bats in your garden or need advice to safely evict them from a building, the Kootenay Community Bat Project (KCBP) can help. The KCBP provides educational programs on bats, works with landowners who have bats in buildings, and promote the annual bat count to monitor bat populations. Of the sixteen species of bats in B.C., over half are red or blue-listed, meaning that their populations are declining and they could become endangered. There are many threats to these amazing creatures of the night including habitat loss, intentional extermination (which is illegal under the BC Wildlife Act), wind farm development, and most recently, White Nose Syndrome — a devastating introduced fungus that has already killed approximately six million bats in North America. Basically, bats need all the help they can get. Funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, the KCBP seeks information from the public on where bats roost, provides site visits and advice to residents with bats in buildings, and requests help from the public to act as Citizen Scientists to help count bat populations. A local biologist can visit your property to assess your bat situation, identify the bat species, and provide you with information on safe evictions and bat-houses.

A large colony of Yuma bats in attic of a house (above); a cluster of the rare Townsend’s big-eared bats (below). Photos courtesy of juliet craig One of the areas of focus this year is on the B.C. Bat Count. Residents are encouraged to count bats leaving a roost site on their property for four nights in order to monitor populations. This long-term monitoring information is very valuable since there is very little known about local bat species and their population numbers. If you have bats living in your buildings, if you would like to join the B.C. Bat Count, or if you need information on how to build a bathouse, visit kootenaybats.com or call 1-855-9BC-BATS.

Learning about waterways from the “Yellow Fish”

he David Thompson Secondary School Leadership class and Lake Windermere Ambassadors are teaming up to bring “Yellow Fish” to our community on Thursday, May 29th.

Beneath the

URFACE

What are Yellow Fish? The fish symbols are part of a national conservation education initiative developed by Trout Unlimited Canada. The yellow fish symbol — painted on stormdrains — reminds passersby that stormdrains are the doorways to our streams, lakes and rivers. In most municipalities, including Invermere, stormdrains flow directly into the local waterbody without being treated. Water, and anything it comes in contact with as it flows over our lawns and roads, will end up in Lake Windermere. This includes soap used to wash cars in the driveway, excess fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide spread onto lawns, dog feces left on the ground, oil and car fluids leaking onto roads, as well as construction and landscape debris. These substances can have a negative impact on the aquatic ecosystem by harming

fish and wildlife, and also reduce recreational water quality for people.

Is this Deja Vu? You might have seen these yellow fish before. That’s because, in 2010, the J.A. Laird Grade 7 Leadership Class painted the fish near Invermere’s stormdrains. Over time, the symbols have faded, meaning that it’s time to complete the IRSTEN project once again. This spring, a group of students from that very class, now in the Grade 11 Leadership at DTSS, will be hitting the streets to let our community know that the importance of protecting water quality has not faded. If you come across any of the yellow fish painted near storm drains or hanging on doorknobs around town, take a moment to think about what goes down our drains and how to keep our lake clean. Kirsten Harma is the program co-ordinator for the Lake Windermere Ambassadors. She can be reached by phone at 250341-6898 or by email at info@lakeambassadors.ca.

In addition to full annual memberships, there are also “punch card” and promotional membership available that make it more affordable for some people. It was not that many years ago that the Invermere library was not a municipal library, and they used to charge fees for library cards. Perhaps, in the future, there is the opportunity for the fee structure for VFC to change, if they get some public support in the form of new space? There are many public facilities and services that are operated by non-profit societies (i.e. Eddie Mountain Arena) or by private companies (i.e. Columbia Valley Landfill). Any suggestion that public services can only be done by union employees is factually incorrect. The library, as an example, has only been unionized for one year now. Any future building improvements for the Invermere library will need regional financial support, as over 55 per cent of the library usage is from outside of Invermere. The regional support that the DOI has secured from the RDEK for the new multi-use facility is from recreation tax, and

cannot be used to create library space. There is work that needs to be done on the future of regional library services in the Columbia Valley. This is going to take a considerable amount of time and effort before there is regional funding for new library space. If a citizen or group wants to be part of the decision-making process, write letters to DOI council, show up at meetings and open houses, ask questions — find out as much information as you can, maybe even talk to individual members of council to understand the background behind certain decisions. Writing letters to the editor or posting on Facebook opinions that have incorrect or only partial information and seem to criticize a local non-profit and/or council is probably the least effective way to participate in the process. Let’s work together to ensure the new facility will be the best that it can be, while still keeping in mind what is realistic and possible based on a limited budget and an unlimited list of potential uses and user groups!

Business of the Week Quality Bakery was established in 1956 by Dutch Baker, Jan Van Driel, followed by Austrian Baker, Rudy Laresser in 1964. In 1981, Peter Banga of Switzerland became the current owner of Quality Bakery (now The Invermere Bakery). Peter received his Journeyman credentials as Baker and Pastry Chef in Zurich, Switzerland from the Baeckerei Steiner and then immigrated to Canada. Peter has carried on the fine baking tradition in this small mountain town and continues to improve products and their availability. It is a popular destination for those in search of the best in freshly baked breads, pastries, cakes, pies, cookies, and all the good things that come out of an oven. Sponsored by:
