Water quality advisory still in effect Turbidity higher after recent rains C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley has been under a water quality advisory since the end of April. A water quality advisory means the City and Interior Health recommend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems and anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alternative.

All Kimberley residents are currently on the Mark Creek water system, and turbidity levels are rising, given the recent rains.

Water quality advisories come into effect as soon as turbidity reads

fair, which is in the 1 to 5 NTU range. For a great part of the time since the water quality advisory went into effect, levels have been just over 1 NTU. However, last Thursday, June 4, the index was reading 2.9 NTU and residents may have noticed some cloudiness in their water.

Turbidity occurs when fine suspended particles of clay, silt, organic and inorganic matter, plankton, and other microscopic organisms are picked up by water as it passes through a watershed.

You can keep up to date on turbidity levels and water quality at kimberley.ca The City checks for turbidity levels daily.

#UnblockCam Local youth in Twitter dispute with MP Wilks C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

CAROLYN GRANT PHOTOS

Staff at RBC Kimberley were in a giving mood last Thursday. Not only was the public treated to a free barbecue lunch but some major dollars were handed out from the RBC Foundation. Two major donations were $10,000 to both Wildsight and CBAL. Top photo, left to right, Julie Rota, Christy Dobi, Isabelle Randall, Robyn Duncan from Wildsight, Michelle Fraser and Janis Sawley. $10,000 also went to the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy. Bottom photo, left to right, Julie Rota, Shannon Powell, Christy Dobi, Gina Panattoni from CBAL, Isabelle Randall, Robin Toffolo and Micelle Fraser. Also receiving Day of Service grants were the Selkirk Music and Drama department ($1000) and the East Kootenay Addictions Society ($1000).

Twitter, like it or not, is where a lot of conversations pertaining to every part of our lives are taking place. Youth especially use Twitter as a news source, and for the politically minded youth, as a way to engage with Members of Parliament or the Legislature.

Which is why a local youth, Cam Lomon, has begun a campaign to get himself unblocked on the Twitter feed of Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks.

Lomon is now attending the University of Lethbridge and he is ac-

tive in politics. His Twitter handle is @Act3Politics, and he does not necessarily agree with MP Wilks on political matters. But Lomon’s point is, Mr. Wilks should be engaging with his constituents, not blocking them because they don’t agree.

“I was on Facebook and noticed that one of my friends, Joy Orr, made a status saying that our MP David Wilks had blocked her on Twitter from seeing his tweets or tweeting at him,” Lomon told the Bulletin.

Joy Orr is NDP MLA Norm Macdonald’s constituency assistant, and is assisting federal NDP candidate Wayne Stetski in his bid for the Kootenay Columbia seat. To Lomon, that shouldn’t matter.

Invermere, B.C. V0A 1K0

is the first book about the 2012 Johnson’s Landing landslides— two natural disasters that devastated the picturesque Kootenay Lake community. The landslides made national headlines. Author Amanda Bath’s house was flattened by the first slide only an hour after she left the area, and when she returned less than twenty-four hours later to try to rescue her cat, she had less than a minute of warning before a second landslide completely buried what remained of her home. Amanda’s escape from the second landslide was caught on video by a news crew who had left the same beach minutes earlier and the footage went viral on YouTube. The process of writing Disaster in Paradise was like therapy for Bath, carrying her through the painful months that followed.

Disaster in Paradise is the story of Bath’s trauma and healing, but it is also the story of a community as it joined together to mourn and gradually rebuild in the wake of tragedy. In total, the landslides destroyed

six homes and killed four people: Valentine Webber, aged 60, his daughters, 22-year-old Diana and 17-year-old Rachel, as well as 64-year-old Petra Frehse. The book is both a chronicle of a BC tragedy and a warning for the future. With the increasing effects of climate change, disasters like this could easily happen again, and governments need to be prepared; British Columbians need to know the signs.

Amanda Bath was born and raised in England, and lived in London before moving to the tiny community of Johnson’s Landing in 1993. She holds a PhD in Catalan Literature and worked in human rights research for Amnesty International for a decade. Because her home in Johnson’s Landing was destroyed by the 2012 landslides, she now lives in Kaslo, BC, with her husband Christopher Klassen. This is her first book.

Kitchen and Garden Workshop Series #1

A Bee Happy Garden Workshop For the bulletin

Cranbrook Food Action Committee and Wildsight Kimberley/ Cranbrook are pleased to announce the first garden workshop of the spring, A Bee Happy Garden, is scheduled for June 9 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Kimberley Open Gate Garden and June 11th from 6 to 8 pm at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden. The cost is $10 for Wildsight members and $15 for non-members.

Bees help us by pollinating 1/3 of our food supply and now it’s time we help them! Honey bees usually get all the credit but there are thousands of different species. Both the mason (also known as orchard or blue orchard) and leafcutter bees are excellent pollinators. It would take 60 honey bees to pollinate 12lbs of cherries, but only 1 mason bee to do the same work (crownbees. com). These overlooked bees are gentle natured, do not produce honey and are resistant to the type of mites currently devastating honey bee populations.

This two hour workshop will cover general information about mason and leafcutter

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Truth, reconciliation and the Métis

Firstly I want to thank Sophie Pierre.

Her words as always have great impact and meaning for all Aboriginal people and all Canadians. This whole path towards a true reconciliation will be a long one and unfortunately I believe may never be realized in the lifetimes of many of the directly affected. It’s a sad state of affairs to read the comments of many of our fellow citizens with the “get over it” attitude. The scarier thing is that attitude permeates the halls of power too.

That said, I would like to bring to you attention the words of the Métis National President, Clem Chartier, in regards to the Métis’ being excluded from the TRC announcement. “For an Aboriginal people who have experienced decades of marginalization, many of whom attended Métis residential or boarding schools, this latest exclusion is inexcusable and demoralizing.”

Yes, one of the three Aboriginal peoples’ children are not fully recognized as being physically, mentally, sexually and culturally abused enough to merit inclusion in this process. After the initial “apology” the Métis have been blocked from presenting and giving testimony to the TRC in several ways. The Métis are often referred to as the forgotten people. Seems our truth and reconciliation will be forgotten too.

Guiding anglers without a license

In 2014, I assisted anglers in Fernie, British Columbia, for a business based outside of British Columbia. I made a mistake, as I did so without a guiding license, and I want to help others to avoid making the same mistake.

The business provided clients with licensed guide days, as well as days without licensed guides, on rivers in the Fernie area. On the days without licensed guides, my duties included assisting anglers by transporting and showing them around Fernie, showing them what rivers to fish and providing any assistance they may have needed, including suggesting what area of the rivers to fish, what flies to use, and helping them with the netting of fish.

The anglers I was assisting were paying clients of that business. I had previously been a client of the same business. In exchange for providing assistance to the anglers, I was provided with lodging, a rental

vehicle and food.

During the trip I was arrested by a BC Conservation Officer on a river in the Fernie area for guiding without a license.

I write this letter as a cautionary tale to others. Do not assist anglers in B.C. for any form of compensation unless you have the required guiding license. I regret my actions and will certainly never again make the same mistake, and I caution those of you reading this to heed the same. Information and questions about when fishing guide licenses are required and how to acquire them can be obtained by calling ServiceBC at 1-800-663-7867, going to www.gov.bc.ca and searching for “fishing guide license,” and by calling the BC Conservation Office at 604-423-7551.

The Senate

Good for Joyce Green — a thoughtful and common sense letter. Too bad we can’t send some of it to Ottawa, to our MPs and senators. Are they only interested in their concerns, their buddies and their pockets?

Over $21 million already spent on the senate scandal, 142 auditors to try to figure out who they will back, and now an arbitrator to complicate matters even more.

Does anyone want to bet who the higher court will side with, if it goes that far? Senators are not elected people — they are appointed. They’ve been pampered for 150 years — that’s enough. They have too much power — they can overturn a government (especially when they’re a minority).

There are some 350 elected MPs. Come on, guys, what are you doing for us who voted you in? And now the Health Accord has not been signed. Our medical system is going down the drain. Shame on you.

Are we living in a democracy? Some democracy! We were supposed to be our own boss when the constitution was brought home during the Pierre Elliot Trudeau era.

Let’s grow up and solve our problems, the biggest being the Senate. They’re useless.

Drop a note to Mr. Wilks.

Honest Cranbrook

In an unusual departure of my bringing out things and people that tick me off, today I have something tipping the other end of the scales, and it shows the honesty of the people of Canada and in particular the people of Cranbrook.

Saturday afternoon my daughter brought the grandkids in from Wasa. It was time to pick up some groceries and the grandkids wanted to play in the Spray Park for a bit.

Us adults sat back and enjoyed the beginning of the current heat wave and the kids, along with a flock of other kids, enjoyed the numbing and cardiac inducing (to adults anyway) cold water of the spray park.

After they were so numb they couldn’t really tell just how hot it was getting, it was time to pack up and get back to life. So the kids got wrapped up, strapped in to their car seats, they went their way and my wife and I headed home.

Given an appropriate amount of time for my daughter to get home and the phone rings. “Dad, do you guys have my cell phone?” Well, we didn’t so she was now officially in a panic. Not only her cell phone, but her ID, some cash and some cards were not where they were supposed to be.

So I told her I would run back down and see if I could find it. When I got there, a whole group of people were in the throws of setting something up, families having picnics and a lot of people running and sitting around.

I checked first where she had parked, maybe she dropped it there. Nope, not there. Then I headed for where we had been sitting and judging by the amount of people running about I wasn’t holding my breath.

Other picnic tables now full of people and people of all ages milling about. There, all by itself sitting on top of the table we had been at, was a lone cell phone. What a surprise.

All the other tables were in use, families setting up and the grass, and because of one lonely cell phone, sitting there by itself no one moved in and claimed that table.

We had to wonder how long would it have taken for someone to clean out her bank account, had we been in the States?

Even being here, in Cranbrook, in Canada, I hadn’t really expected it to be there.

Bad me, doubting the nice people of Cranbrook.

So, a big thank you to the honesty of the people of this great little city, and a big hug for everyone who could have very easily grabbed that phone and no one would have been the wiser.

So we hope you all enjoy your summer, knowing the Big Blue Bird of Happiness has smiled down upon you all.

Thank you all from Laura, the kids and Jane and I. Tom Haverko Cranbrook

20 day shutdown could be hard for many K ATELYN DINGMAN The Free Press

Last week, Teck announced that they will be implementing temporary shutdowns this summer. For communities that rely heavily on the coal industry for their economy, this is not good news. During Sparwood’s mining week celebration in early May, Port Metro Vancouver representative Jim Candles said that one in five Kootenay residents work in the mining industry. For 20 days

those employees will be out of work.

Many feel that although the announcement is clearly not a good thing, the negative impacts of the temporary closures are outweighed by the devastating impacts of actual layoffs.

The shutdowns were implemented in response to changing coal market conditions.

For many, this news didn’t come as a shock, as discussions around the weakening of demand and oversupplying of

coal, particularly in China, have been happening for several months.

This is a fact that Teck Coal Vice President, Operations, Coal, Robin Sheremeta highlighted while at the aforementioned mining week celebration. The Teck Vice President, however, assured guests that the Elk Valley would be able to recover from the recent changes to the industry. It seems like Teck has finally been forced to take action, temporarily shut-

Build it, build it, build it!

Summer Reading Tips for Parents Build your child’s love for reading by bringing your child to the Cranbrook Public Library to join the fun of this year’s Summer Reading Club.

Help your child to set a realistic goal for summer reading. For our summer program reading 20 minutes per day for 7 days will fill in one page of a reading log (they receive a sticker and a prize). After completing 7 pages the child receives a medal.

Bring your child to the summer reading club programs at the Cranbrook Public Library. For seven weeks during the summer we will

have programs for different age groups with stories and crafts.

Encourage your child to borrow books from the library.

There are many great stories and information books just waiting to be read.

Encourage your child to share their favourite stories with you.

Establish a regular time for reading in your home for everyone.

Appreciate all the books your child selects. Summer is a time for fun and building reading confidence.

Make reading fun by inviting your child to read what they want.

Read to your child. Readers in the early years can understand far more advanced vocabulary than they are able to read.

Encourage older children to read aloud to younger children or to you.

Read yourself! Be a role model for your children.

For more information about the Summer Reading Club and Fall children’s programs, check our website at www.cranbrookpubliclibrary. ca or our Facebook page or contact Deanne Perreault, Children’s and Youth Librarian or Eila Miller, Summer Reading Club coordinator at 250-426-4063.

ting down six Canadian coal mines this summer and reducing their annual third quarter coal production by approximately 1.5 million tonnes or 25 per cent.

As a result of these closures, several concerns from the general public have been brought forward, including concerns over what the shutdowns will mean for employees wages.

According to Chris Stannell, senior communications specialist with Teck, affected employees will be able to utilize paid entitlements, including vacation. But what about those who have already used up their vacation time or have already booked off additional vacation time? Those employees will be forced to take unpaid leave during the shutdowns. Although 20 days may not seem like a long time, it could be devastating to some.

Another concern that was brought forward was that several media sources published articles about the shutdowns first thing on the morning of May 28.

According to some locals, however, several Teck employees heard through the media releases prior to being informed by their employer. As the Elk Valley mining industry undergoes these temporary shutdowns, I can only hope that the community supports them through these difficult times.

Newest Nitros eager to make mark

Local products Rota & Van Steinburg ready for next step Local content has always been a point of pride for the KIJHL’s Kimberley Dynamiters and general manager Mike Reid thinks he has two new gems to keep with the tradition.

In his first official move as GM of the Nitros, Reid signed forward James Rota (1998) of Kimberley and defenceman Tyler Van Steinburg (1998) of Cranbrook back on June 2.

Both having skated with the club as affiliate players (APs) in past years, the landscape isn’t necessarily new for the East Kootenay products, but the roles will be fresh and the challenges tougher as they hope to help the Dynamiters repeat as KIJHL champions.

“Just give it your all every game, every second you’re out there,” Van Steinburg said Saturday afternoon, as he sat in the sun signing autographs during Marysville Days. “Just take it shift by shift and play as a team, do what you can to help everyone out.”

Shift by shift was one of many mantras preached by Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks during his club’s run to the KIJHL championship and silver finish at the Cyclone Taylor Cup this past season.

The opportunity to play for Bancks is something Van Steinburg is already eagerly awaiting.

“He’s a great guy. I’ve learned a lot from him through the sports school program and I’m looking forward to learning even more,” Van Steinburg said.

“We’ve got a great group of guys from last season, too. It’s going to be a great season.”

While 6-foot, 180pound Van Steinburg is set to jump in on the blue line, Rota slots in up front. On the day he signed the 6-foot forward, Reid expressed hope that the Kimberley native will eventually work his way into the top nine during the 2015-16 KIJHL campaign.

With forwards Coy Prevost and Braden Saretsky having departed for Junior ‘A’ opportunities with the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, there’s never been a better opportunity for a fresh face to step in and make a name for himself.

“I’m looking forward to finally getting to play a full season with the team,” Rota said Saturday. “It’s a great group of guys. It’s always been a dream of mine to play for Jerry and play for the Dynamiters, so I’m pretty excited.

“I’m a bit of a grinder, kind of a playmaker. I just work hard and do whatever I can for the team.

“I don’t think I can fully fill those shoes.

[Prevost and Saretsky] are really good players, but I’m going to try my best and hopefully I put some points up.”

In 35 games during the 2014-15 season with

the Cranbrook Midget ‘AA’ Knights of the South Central Alberta Hockey League, Rota stacked up six goals and 15 assists for 21 points.

In eight career KIJHL games scattered across two seasons, Rota tallied one goal and one assist.

For Van Steinburg, he also finished up last season with the Knights, posting one goal and three points in six games after beginning the season with the Kootenay Major Midget Ice across the mountains in Nelson.

The younger brother of Nitros forward Trevor Van Steinburg also has some KIJHL action under his belt, having played three games with the Nelson Leafs in 2013-14 and a pair of games with the Nitros this past season.

In five career KIJHL outings, the younger Van Steinburg has two assists to his credit.

Rota and Van Steinburg join a contingent of locally-produced Nitros that already includes Marco Campanella (Kimberley), Jared Marchi (Kimberley), Tristan Pagura (Kimberley), captain Jason Richter (Cranbrook), Trevor Van Steinburg (Cranbrook), and Jesse Wallace (Kimberley).

The two East Kootenay signings weren’t Reid’s only moves back on June 2.

The Nitros also inked forward Austyn Moser (1997), who racked up 26 goals and 29 assists for 55 points in 35 games with the Taber Golden Suns of the South Central Alberta Hockey League last season.

NEW YORK - At long last, the Triple Crown drought is over.

American Pharoah led all the way to win the Belmont Stakes by 5 1/2 lengths Saturday, becoming the first horse in 37 years to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes - one of the sporting world’s rarest feats.

The bay colt with the unusually short tail defeated seven rivals in the

grueling 1 1/2-mile race, covering the distance in 2:26.65 to end the longest stretch without a Triple Crown champion in history.

American Pharoah is the 12th horse and first since Affirmed in 1978 to win three races on different tracks at varying distances over a five-week span. He won the Kentucky Derby by one length on May 2 and then romped to a seven-length victory in the rainy Preakness two weeks later.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will wake up tired or out of sorts; your dream life has been active. You might want to pull back and not be so spontaneous. Although an element of tension is clear today, a conversation will clear the air. Still, hold back some. Tonight: Take some personal time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will see the results of your intense focus and hard work. Do not underestimate the power of your ideas and leadership. A meeting could provide information that will put a smile on your face. Tonight: Embrace a moment of insight, then celebrate.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could feel as if there are many possibilities coming in from various directions. You see a personal matter differently from how those around you see it, especially an older friend or parent. Your time and attention will push a project to completion. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to look in a different direction. Your ability to see past the obvious is likely to emerge. Detach from your feelings before making a decision.

Look at a situation from the perspective of an observer, and your decision will be right-on.

Tonight: Relax with a movie.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know how to work with a partner who can be touchy.

Understand what is motivating this person, and perhaps you will see a change of mood. You will have a very positive effect on others right now; use that magic well. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be in a situation where you believe it is an either/or matter. Understand that it isn’t. With detachment and willingness to explore beyond your normal restrictions, you’ll come up with a unique perspective and response. Tonight: Defer to someone else.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Putting in a hard day’s work or

Tundra

focusing on a key issue might be difficult, as someone from your personal life keeps trying to distract you. You’ll wonder how to handle this person. First ask yourself what you want or desire from the situation, then proceed. Tonight: Play it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Allow your imagination to take over where your logic ends. If you’re trying to add a creative touch or find a unique response to a problem, look within. For those who are open and ready, a romance suddenly could pop into your life. Enjoy being distracted. Tonight: Be naughty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have the ability and know-how to move a personal situation forward. You might be overthinking a situation. Be careful. Some of you could be checking out an investment involving property. Move forward with care. Tonight: Happiest at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be focused on your routine, but conversations will distract you a good part of the

day. You could feel as if something is off, yet you haven’t seemed to figure out what exactly it is. Tonight: Open up and have a long-overdue talk. You will feel better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The way in which you express what you want could differ from person to person. Keep conversations light and easy, especially in the morning, when there is a wave of confusion. A dear friend who always makes you feel great might show up.

Tonight: Make plans accordingly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be on top of your game, but everyone else seems to be a bit out of sorts. They will sense your effectiveness and possibly even resent it. Look toward more understanding by working through any issues.

You have reason to celebrate.

Tonight: All smiles.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been good friends with “Barney” for 10 years. During that time, we’ve had an on-and-off romantic relationship. For years, I assumed it was a timing issue, but I finally realized that, as much as he might care about me, I was just being used to fill up time between women. I felt so betrayed that we didn’t speak for a year.

A few months ago, Barney called, wanting to get together and talk. He told me he had done a lot of soul searching and came to the realization that he had messed up a great thing with me. He wanted to prove he had changed.

My mother recently became ill and lapsed into a coma. Barney has been at my side, helping and supporting my sister and me. He brought flowers to Mom’s room, bought us coffee and sandwiches, and has done anything else we needed. He has volunteered many times to sit with my mother so we could go home, shower and put in some time at our jobs.

Barney truly has stepped up, but I am still scared it won’t last. I fear this will end up being yet another game he’s playing. As much as I love him and everything he is doing for my family, I don’t know that I can risk putting my heart out there again. Should I give him another chance? Or should I tell him we are better off just being friends? -Hopelessly in Love Dear Hopelessly: It’s understandable that you would be skittish, but loving someone always involves the risk of being hurt. What you need is time to determine whether Barney is in it for the long haul. He seems to be trying to prove himself, and this should not be dismissed out of hand. We think he deserves a second chance. Tell Barney you want to take it slowly this time to be certain you can trust the relationship. If he is the real deal, he will understand and willingly give you as much time as you need.

Dear Annie: At our Mother’s Day mass last month, a fellow usher told me it is inappropriate to wish a man a happy Mother’s Day. But when he would say to a woman, “Happy Mother’s Day,” she would often respond, “Same to you!”

Is it really inappropriate to wish a male a happy Mother’s Day? Likewise, is it inappropriate to wish a female a happy Father’s Day? -- Lafayette, Ind. Dear Lafayette: We think people are too eager to be offended. A lot of parents are raising children without the help of a spouse. They are both mother and father to these kids and undoubtedly appreciate the acknowledgment on those special days. They also have mothers and fathers, and wishing a man a happy Mother’s Day could easily indicate good wishes to his mother (or wife or other female relative). And vice versa when it comes to Father’s Day. People can take these greetings any way they choose, but we think they should make every effort to take them in the spirit in which they are intended -- as good wishes. There is no reason to fuss over the etiquette, which says only to reply, “Thank you.”

Premier fires back on home tax demands Jeff Nagel Black Press

Premier Christy Clark has issued a warning that demands for new taxes to rein in rising real estate prices

could have serious undesired effects and are largely rooted in mistaken perceptions.

She was responding to a call from Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robert-

son for the province to charge a higher Property Transfer Tax on the most expensive properties, create a speculation tax on short-term flippers, and give cities

more power to track ownership and discourage the practice of leaving investment homes vacant.

“It’s important that we consider any actions

carefully to make sure we are helping first-time homebuyers get into the market while protecting the equity of existing homeowners – not just simply raising more

taxes for government,” Clark said in a letter to Robertson.

Driving down home prices 10 per cent would mean an $800,000 home losing $80,000 in equity

We’re building the path to the future.

and Clark said that could put some residents with large mortgages underwater.

Clark noted local buyers, not foreigners, are responsible for most real estate activity in the region.

“For many individuals and small businesses, this is a source of investment income.”

The premier said the province is actively looking at what it can do.

But she suggested the City of Vancouver can do more itself to address affordability by reducing civic fees and levies that add up to more than $76,000 of the price of a new $450,000 condo.

“Beyond any new taxes to curb demand, there is also the option of increasing supply through better land-use planning,” Clark added.

The B.C. Real Estate Association estimates foreigners account for no more than five per cent of home ownership and real estate activity in the region.

A finance ministry analysis of the issue said Metro Vancouver detached house prices are being driven up largely because of rising demand and shrinking supply, as older houses are knocked down to build townhouses or condos, which have seen much slower appreciation.

B.C. could follow other jurisdictions like Singapore, London and Australia that charge foreigners stiffer property transfer taxes or other taxes. Foreigners also need approval to buy houses in Australia and Singapore, where prices have stabilized but still aren’t considered affordable.

If foreign home buying was sharply pared from the estimated five per cent of Metro home sales now to one per cent, it said, the improvement in first-time buyer affordability would not be significant because of the concentration of offshore buying in high-end homes.
