Boats intercepted with zebra mussels by Jeff Nagel Authorities remain on high alert for invasive species after intercepting four boats in recent weeks that arrived in B.C. infested with live zebra mussels. One contaminated boat was towed by a vehicle that failed to stop for inspectors on April 28 near Elko, where many vacationers arrive in B.C. from southwestern Alberta and northwestern Montana. A conservation ofﬁcer tracked down the vehi-

cle and diverted it back to the inspection station, said Chris Doyle, deputy chief of provincial operations for the B.C. Conservation Ofﬁcer Service. “The boat it was towing was found to have zebra mussels on it,” Doyle said. “That watercraft was detained and impounded and as well the driver was charged for failing to stop at the inspection station.” Inspection teams have checked 1,200 boats so far this year. Of those,

64 were ﬂagged as coming from high-risk locations, resulting in 12 decontamination orders and seven 30-day quarantines. Bears emerging from their dens and searching for food continue to be a problem, particularly when people fail to secure their food and garbage, Doyle said. He said conservation ofﬁcers are continuing to respond to reports of “bear jams” where vehicles are stopped on a highway where people are deliberately feeding bears or taking photos. Even when the bears aren’t being fed there’s concern that people in close proximity may make the bears habitu-

ated. There have also been multiple complaints in Kitimat of grizzly bears feeding on garbage, he added. He urges people not to remove fawns or other wildlife babies but instead contact conservation officers if there’s reason to suspect they’re abandoned. Animal rescues are a regular part of the job for conservation officers. One of the latest operations saw Kamloops officers join forces with local volunteers to retrieve 1,000 rainbow trout that had become stranded in a field after Jacko Lake flooded on April 24.

“Those live rainbow trout were all returned to Jacko Lake.” Hefty fines have been handed out in recent months against poachers who shot wildlife illegally. About $2,500 in fines were issued to a group found hunting without licences April 29 in the Kispiox River area. Another $5,800 in fines were handed out to two Lower Mainland men convicted of hunting deer in a closed season near Rose Prairie in 2013. Conservation officers used DNA evidence to link the poachers to the scene.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment NWP Coal Canada Ltd. (Proponent) is proposing to develop an open pit metallurgical coal mine in the Elk Valley, referred to as the Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would be located approximately 12 km northeast of Sparwood, British Columbia, and it is estimated that it would produce 3.7 million run-of-mine tonnes per year. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) before work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. Prior to the submission of an Application by the Proponent for an EAC, the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) must approve the Application Information Requirements for the proposed Project. As part of the Application Information Requirements, Valued Components must be identified, which are environmental, economic, social, heritage, and health components that may experience potential effects as a result of the proposed Project. The Valued Components are outlined in the Valued Components for Environmental Assessment document, which details components to be studied and the areas in which the studies would occur. Open House EAO invites the public to attend an Open House about the environmental assessment process, the proposed Project, and the draft Valued Components. An open house will be held: At:

Causeway Bay Hotel Emerald Room 102A Red Cedar Drive, Sparwood, BC

On:

Wednesday, May 25, 2016

From:

4:00 pm to 8:00 pm

EAO and the Proponent will be present to provide information and respond to questions about the proposed Project at the Open House. The comment period for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Valued Components document is 30 days. The comment period will begin May 13, 2016 and end June 13, 2016.

The government has launched a new online portal that will make it easier for hunters to access a number of services, such as limited-entry applications and, eventually, hunting and guide licenses.

this comment period in relation to the draft Valued Components document will be considered. The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback on studies or information required for a comprehensive assessment. After taking public comments into account, the Valued Components document will be finalized. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways:  By Online Form at http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca

The portal gives hunters access to apply for their resident hunting credentials and the new Fish and Wildlife Hunter ID. Hunters who want to apply in person can also continue to do so at Service BC, FrontCounter BC, or an authorized vendor.

Province boosting minimum wage increase to $10.85 By Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is boosting its next scheduled increase in the minimum wage to 40 cents, bringing it to $10.85 per hour on Sept. 15. Premier Christy Clark said Wednesday the increase is above the consumer price index formula increase of 10 cents, to share economic growth and “create a fairer, more just society.” Another 30 cent boost

to the formula is scheduled for September 2017. Assuming the cost of living formula adds 10 cents, the minimum wage would be $11.25, which Clark said will make B.C.’s rate the third highest in the country. NDP labour critic Shane Simpson said this year’s increase brings B.C.’s minimum wage to seventh place among Canadian provinces, tied with Yukon. “What the premier did today was a response to

being embarrassed by the fact that we were last,” Simpson said. Clark acknowledged that the formula has seen B.C.’s rate fall behind. The first formula increase was 20 cents in September 2015. The B.C. formula discounts the minimum wage by $1.25 for restaurant and pub servers, to reflect the income they receive from tips. The B.C. Federation of Labour has been campaigning for a $15 minimum wage. It has esti-

mated that based on the B.C. formula, it would take until 2034 to reach that level. Simpson said the minimum wage will be an issue in the 2017 election, and the NDP will propose a wage higher than what Clark and Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced Wednesday. “I don’t necessarily want $15,” Simpson said. “What I want is an understanding of what it takes for somebody on minimum wage to be able to have a modest standard of living.” Clark also announced an additional $2.88 million in training programs to respond to labour

The City of Cranbrook also conducts its own extensive Noxious Weed Control program annually on City properties to try to combat their spread. The East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council (EKIPC) and the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) can provide assistance to the public through their Neighbourhood Invasive Plant Pro-

This region-wide stewardship program provides residential property owners with guidance, resources, free sprayer equipment loan-out and financial rebates necessary to manage these harmful plants. Industrial and commercial property owners are eligible for guidance, resources and a free sprayer equipment loan out. Informational brochures are available for pick up at Cranbrook City Hall. A knapweed information newsletter is also available at City Hall or for download from the City website

for employers who hire an unemployed person.

The Advertiser lead me to my Darling

Photo Courtesy Cranbrook history Centre

The Darling family, all named thanks to readers and others with an interest in history. by Dave Humphrey, volunteer with the Cranbrook History Centre Archives The Cranbrook History Centre has had a significant number of responses to our request for assistance in recognizing people in the photographs the Kootenay Advertiser has so kindly printed for us. There was one particular photograph that took me on an electronic adventure across Canada in the search for answers. A few weeks ago we reprinted a copy of a photograph simply titled “Darling Family” which we hoped would be recognized by readers so we could put names to the individual people. We, for once, did not get any feedback from anyone in the Kootenays which actually was not surprising once the research began to unfold. The first bit of feedback was from a fellow in Toronto who had seen the photo in the Kootenay Advertiser on-line version. He let me know that Treherne, Manitoba, was a place where a Darling family had homesteaded. Doing a search on “Treherne”

in Cranbrook archive papers gave me a great step forward along the trail of research. In the 1937-07-18 Cranbrook Courier I found an article, but no photograph, of how eight members of the Darling family had held a reunion in the Cranbrook Tourist Park. The family members had come from as far away as Manitoba and Vancouver and none of them were local residents. The article listed names of the family members which gave me the next step of my research. I followed the Darling member who came from Vancouver and was able to locate his death certificate which was signed by his son. I found this son’s death certificate but as it was signed by his widow this trail got a little murky. I then decided to contact the Museum in Treherne to see if they would be able to assist. I learned that the Treherne Museum was closed until mid-May but a very helpful town clerk pointed me in the direction of a family history book which she felt might give me some information on the Darling Family. This book proved to be a gold

mine of information and it soon became obvious that the Darling family had homesteaded in the Treherne area and had been very influential in the history of the town. On the off-chance I did a “411” telephone search for Darlings in Treherne. I was rewarded with the phone numbers for three Darling families presently living in that area. I called one number and realized I had hit paydirt at first try! I talked to a very friendly gentleman and learned he was a grandson of one of the people in the photograph. This was the beginning of the end of my quest of putting the correct name to the correct person in the Darling Family photograph. He and his wife could identify five of the eight people in the photograph. They were then kind enough to pass along my research request to the genealogist in the Darling family. This family historian got back to me right away stating that she had a copy of the exact same photo in her collection that had been printed in 1937 from the negative now held in the Cranbrook History Centre Archives. Between these two Darling descendants they were able to identify all eight family members in the photograph and put the correct name to the correct person. Thus another research quest has been successfully solved with the help of the Kootenay Advertiser and a bit of electronic travelling around Canada. I have now located the Darling I’ve been looking for!

Do you know the people in this photo?

Can you name the people (in their correct order) in this photo? Knowing what this photo contains is a “no brainer”. We think we know why the photo was taken and the all names of the boys. What we are not sure of is which boy is which. A news article in an archived 1940 Cranbrook Courier tells us the following. “JUNIOR BAND BRINGS HOME SILVERWARE … It was a tired but happy bunch of boys who returned to Cranbrook by train last Sunday morning after

their Junior Band competition at the Kootenay Musical Festival at Nelson on the afternoon of the day previous. In their well-staged exhibition they won the Argyle trophy for junior bands of 18 years of age or under, receiving 85 marks. The same article also listed personnel of the band as “Bandmaster J.

For Hospice Society, it’s all about living The ﬁrst week in May is National Hospice Palliative Care Week in Canada, during which organizations like the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society reach out those in the area we serve to explain who we are and what we do. Many do not like to talk about death and have difﬁculty understanding how we can spend time supporting those at the end of life. What most people don’t understand or have a hard time accepting is that our focus is on living. We accept

the plain and simple fact that despite all the tremendous advances medicine has made, despite the new drugs, MRI machines, skilled and caring Doctors, Nurses, and other Professionals we are all going to die. Having accepted that fact we can focus on working to ensure the best possible quality of life for our clients until we reach the end. Our trained volunteers companion their clients from the time of assignment until death. They follow their client no

matter where they go on their ﬁnal journey. They listen without judgement to their clients concerns and offer support and information as they wend their way through the complexities of the medical system. If requested we offer assistance in preparing an Advanced Care Plan in which the client can think about and decide what kind of medical intervention they want and don’t want, relieving their families of the burden of making such decisions. They offer their clients care givers an opportunity for respite from the difﬁcult task they are performing. After the death of a

client, our volunteers follow up with the survivors with direct support by phone or in person for a year, as they adjust to their new reality without their loved one. We also offer structured bereave-

ment support groups for men and women. These programs are available to the community at large not only to the families of our clients. We also offer an infant loss program for fami-

lies who have lost a child from conception to one year of age. For school age children we offer the Rainbows Program, a structured facilitated peer support group which helps children de-

velop skills to adjust to losses through death or other life events. We are constantly looking for opportunities to improve our ability to see Hospice page 9

How many meals does a plant need? How long can you live without food? I participated several times with the fundraising event of 30 hour famine. It wasn’t easy, but everyone lived through it. Sometimes we put our plants through famines, and wonder why they do not perform for us. Optimally, we like to eat 3 times a day to keep our energy up and our productivity at its best. Kids even enjoy snacks in between those meals. We stop performing at our best if we do not eat frequently enough. It is often a misconception that there is enough food in a hanging basket

for it to grow all year or adding a few bags of manure early in the season is enough to feed an entire garden. As plants grow their need for food only increases. Our tendency is stop fertilizing as the season progresses only to end the season with lack lustre plants and small harvests. The following is some basic information of how fertilizers work so you can feed your plants what they need. The first number on the fertilizer label indicates the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer. Nitrogen is needed for leaf growth and is responsible for making plants greener. It

is used by the plant to produce leafy growth and formation of stems and branches. Plants most in need of nitrogen include grasses and leafy vegetables such as cabbage and spinach. Nitrogen is often lost with intense watering and signs that your plant is lacking nitrogen include slow growth and yellowing of lower leaves. An example for a fertilizer high in nitrogen is Nurseryland Evergreen 30-10-10; it is excellent for keeping conifers green. Nurseryland Premium Lawn Food 31-0-6 is a product that will help give you a deep green lawn.

The amount of phosphorous is indicated by the second number. This is what your plants need for good root growth as well as flower and fruit production later on. Especially young plants forming their new roots as well as root vegetables, seed and fruit crops need lots of phosphorous to develop well. Nurseryland Seed and Sod Starter 7-217 helps get the roots of your new lawn off to a good start. Nurseryland Power Bloom 10-40-25 will give your flowering bedding plants a boost to keep performing at their max.

Potassium is the third number and this nutrient helps promote flowering and is vital for growth as well as the overall health and disease resistance of plants. Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and apples are examples of plants that need plenty of potassium. Symptoms that your plant might be deficient include poor root systems, few blossoms and small yields as well as drying leaf tips. Nurseryland Fruit & Berry Food 7-21-18 gives your fruiting plants plenty of potassium to keep them healthy and producing lots of delicious fruit. Plants need their nu-

trition to grow strong. Fertilize regularly and more often and you will increase plant vigour and produc-

tion. Get what is right for your plants and you will have great 2016. Happy Spring!

Local student setting the bar high for Relay fundraising

As we all know, the East Kootenay is filled with generous, courageous and thoughtful people. Jonah, a student at Highlands Elementary is no exception and a reminder to us all the

power of the human spirit. He is all set to take part in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life - especially the head shave portion - on June 4th at Rotary Park in Cranbrook. He

may be only ten years old but he has always enjoyed donating to worthy causes and helping others. Understanding how difficult it must be for anybody to be fight-

ing cancer; regardless of their situation, Jonah explains that it just “simply makes him feel good that he can do his part to help”. His ambition didn’t stop at registering for Relay For

Life, he did a presentation at his elementary school in early April explaining what he is doing and putting forth a challenge to see if anyone else will join him in donating their hair. It was a great way to kick off the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Month and show kids how they can help people facing cancer with something as simple as cutting your hair. Any hair donated to the Canadian Cancer Society is turned into real hair wigs for cancer patients that they can use free of charge during their treatment. Hair donations are accepted all year round but are always a highlight of Relay. His mother noted “As of May 3rd his fundraising has reached $1045 which is outstanding! We are extremely proud of him and are happy to support him in every way.” We at the Canadian Cancer Society couldn’t agree more.

Relay For Life is a great opportunity for friends, families, neighbors and co-works to get together and support communities members. Relay is a celebration of survivors and a tribute to the lives of loved ones touched by cancer. We are inviting all survivors to join us in opening Relay with the Survivors Lap to kick things off and celebrate your strength and journey. Everyone is welcome to come and participate. Anyone who comes down to enjoy the event can also participate in the Luminary Celebration. Luminaries are candles placed in paper bags that line the Relay track. Each bag bears the name of a loved one who has either survived cancer or one who has lost their life to the disease. At dusk, the candles are lit in a moving ceremony where we remember and honour those touched by cancer, providing light and inspiration as participants walk the track at night. It is a special moment and a reminder that there is hope and light in fight against cancer. Luminaries can be purchased and decorated at the event or at the Cranbrook Office of the Canadian Cancer Society any time before Relay. Luminaries are $5 or included if you register to participate. The winner of the Disneyland Trip Raffle will be announced at Relay – get your tickets as they are going fast! Entertainment and food venders have been booked, and we are excited to be back in Rotary Park for Relay For Life on Saturday, June 4th 4:30pm to 10:30pm. We look forward to seeing you there!

of Sunshine, his inaugural BC Book Tour. This promotional tour for Cameron’s debut novel, Goodnight Sunshine, will have his family of four exploring the southern half of British Columbia in their 19foot camper van, stopping along the way to engage with readers at a variety of libraries, farmers’ markets and bookstores. The tour will include over 25 stops on a path spanning more than 4200 km. Cameron aims to build relationships with readers, librarians and booksellers around the province—in person. “As an author, I spend much of my time writing in isolation,” he says. “I don’t want to spend the rest of my time in isolation, promoting myself online.” Cameron’s partner is a freelance editor, and their two children also enjoy writing and reading. “We want to reach out to as much of the literary community in BC as we can by dropping in to introduce ourselves in person.” The tour has expanded and will take closer to 40 days to complete, but the family hopes that at least 30 of those days will hold sunshine— both inside and outside of their vehicle. “I am thrilled about showing our kids more of the beautiful province we

But when the weather forces us inside, it’s harder for everyone to maintain a sunny attitude.” Since 2010, the Cameron family has spent the equivalent of two full years in their tiny home on wheels. All events are free and open to the public. The tour kicks off in Cameron’s home town, Gibsons, on June 1st. Other cities and towns currently booked on the tour include: North Vancouver, Grand Forks, Salmo, Trail, Nelson, Creston, Cranbrook, Golden, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Kelowna, Merritt, Kamloops, 100 Mile House, Prince George, Burns Lake, Terrace, Prince Rupert, Courtenay, Toﬁno, Nanaimo and Victoria. Goodnight Sunshine is the ﬁctional story of Oliver Bruce—a disenchanted family man drawn to Ecuador seeking an invention that could transform the global energy landscape. Published by Catch Our Drift Productions, the novel was released in November, 2015. The e-book release will coincide with the launch of the summer tour. Mark Cameron is an avid traveler, entrepreneur, husband, and father of two unschooled children.

Cranbrook’s B104 Total Country radio station is known for more than smooth country crooners – it is also known for its enthusiastic support of the BC SPCA. The station was honoured with the Media Excellence Award at the BC SPCA Awards dinner in Abbotsford on May 6. “B104 goes above and beyond to promote the BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch and to give B.C.’s most vulnerable animals a voice,” says BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch manager Brenna Baker. “It’s such a great team at Pattison Broadcasting! There are no greater advocates of the East Kootenay BC SPCA Branch than the B104 team – they highlight stories about the work of the SPCA, regularly promote animals for adoption and raise awareness about important animal welfare issues in the community.” Staff from the station come to the shelter to get to know the animals so they can help them find their forever homes, attend BC SPCA community events and regularly invite Cranbrook SPCA staff on the air to talk about issues that impact the branch. They are also generous media sponsors who provide SPCA advertising for little to no cost, and they offer their time and expertise to assist with outreach and fundraising initiatives, such as a kennel lock-in being planned for next month, Baker says.

lion in support. The Trust announced the $9-million, threeyear program in January 2016. It provides ﬁnancial support to help communities and groups build new recreation infrastructure or upgrade existing recreation infrastructure. “We’re pleased to provide grants to such a wide range of projects that will help people stay ﬁt and enjoy

where we live,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Ofﬁcer. “Supporting residents to lead active, healthy lifestyles is one of our strategic priorities, and developing the amenities that help them do so is an important step.” One of the recipients is the Rotary Club of Kimberley. It will be developing the Kimberley Splash Park

to provide an aquatic playground for children of all ages and abilities. “The splash park will offer a safe, inclusive, low-maintenance and free option for residents and tourists to cool off at on hot summer days,” said Sandra Roberts, President. “Children will be able to strengthen their gross motor skills, develop their hand/eye coordination, enjoy

water play and learn social skills. Plus we will use low-ﬂow nozzles and have selected each feature with water conservation in mind.” Other successful Kimberley and Cranbrook projects include: KIMBERLEY and AREA • Arena Wall and Walking Track - Rebuild the north wall at the Kimberley Civic Centre and complete a 215-metre indoor walking track around the second-level observation deck. • Bootleg Mountain Recreation Site - Construct a new cycling trail and upgrade two existing trails on the southern slopes of Bootleg Mountain to expand the number of trails available to cyclists and offer more challenging and technical terrain. • Kimberley Lawn Bowling Upgrades - Install a new underground irrigation system to improve water efﬁciency and ensure even coverage of the greens.

Mining focusing on reducing costs, increasing productivity

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Karina Briño, President and CEO of MABC. by Karina Briño, President and CEO of the Mining Association of British Columbia (MABC).

B.C’s geology is rich in diverse mineral deposits in every corner of the province. B.C. is Canada’s largest producer of copper, largest exporter of steelmaking coal and only producer of molybdenum. These products play a critical role in contributing to society’s transition to a low carbon economy – from the copper used in electric cars to the steelmaking coal required to build public transit infrastructure as well as wind turbines and solar panels. The mining industry in B.C. is currently facing a difficult time. Commodity prices have been in decline for several years, notably B.C.’s principal commodities; steelmaking coal and copper. Operators have been adapting accordingly

by reducing costs and focusing on productivity. Despite best efforts over the past 18 months, several operating mines have had to make the incredibly difficult decision to temporarily cease operations, which has affected more than 20 per cent of the industry’s total direct workforce, as well as supplier jobs, families and economic activity in communities across the province. While some operating mines have been suspended activity until prices recover, many projects continue to advance. Examples include Pretium’s Brucejack Project and JDS Silver’s Silvertip Project, which are both in construction and moving to production. Mining is a major employer in the Kootenay region, known

for its rich mining heritage. A number of operations remain in steady production, providing jobs and economic activity today and well into the future. The continued progress of these projects across the province proves the resilience of B.C.’s mining industry, in good times and challenging ones. Miners are working closely with each other and other stakeholders to not only weather the current storm, but also plan for the future. An example is the fiveyear temporary electricity deferral program for B.C. mines, which was announced by the B.C. Government earlier this year, after consultation with industry. The deferral, plus the applicable commercial interest rate, allows quali-

fying mines to defer up to 75 per cent of their electricity costs for two years, recognizing that the mining industry is facing difficult times. This is just one example of a collaborative effort that is helping the industry remain in operation, while protecting jobs in the communities where we operate. There are many other collaborations in areas such as skills and training, corporate social responsibility, environmental protection, and economic development. It is essential that B.C. remains a globally competitive place to invest, drawing from progress in the abovementioned areas. That requires both consistent and proactive policies that will help B.C. stand out among investors seeking a re-

source-rich jurisdiction that is both safe and politically stable. B.C. has all of these qualities, not to mention world-class infrastructure, a productive port system, a highly skilled workforce and globally ranked high quality of life. As Canada continues to move towards a low-carbon economy, B.C.’s mining industry will continue to play a key role in the transition to a more sustainable world. The onus is on the industry, and all of its various stakeholders — including governments and communities — to ensure B.C. continues to be an attractive jurisdiction for mining. This is critical to ensuring a vibrant and promising future for all British Columbians.

When is a spade not a spade?

PHOTO SUBMITTED

David D. Hull. by David D. Hull, Executive Director, Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce I used to sell shovels of all types in a previous life. Often the age old question arose. When is a spade not a

spade? The answer to those in the know was really quite simple. When it is a long handled round mouth shovel or LHRMS to industry insiders. To the uninitiated or those practicing willful ignorance it is a “spade”.

At the Paris Climate Change Conference held last November a global moratorium on new coal mines rapidly gained international support. The idea has even passed the lips of world leaders. Kiribati’s president Anote Tong told the assembled heads of state: I have issued a call for a global moratorium on new investments on coal mines as endorsed by my fellow Pacific Leaders and I invite you all to join this call. The climate talks have traditionally focused on tackling fossil fuel demand by attempting to limit countries’ overall greenhouse gas emissions. Beyond the negotiations, restricting the supply of fossil fuels is becoming the centre of attention. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce representing the Chambers of Commerce in the East Kootenays, and of course all other Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade in Canada, fought an uphill battle in Paris educating the gathering of world leaders that coal is not coal. see Spade page 4

Spade from page 3

Spade versus LHRMS. The coal produced in the Elk Valley is metallurgical coal. An essential ingredient in the production of steel. It is necessary for building infrastructure such as rail, bridges and schools and improving the quality of life for people around the world. Steel and steelmaking coal is required to make everything from clean energy projects like wind or solar power to transportation alternatives like rapid transit, buses and hybrid vehicles. Approximately 100 tonnes of metallurgical coal is required to produce the steel in an average wind turbine. If you want to go green you best support investment in coal production. Steel is essential for building the critical infrastructure and the products that make our quality of life possible.

To cut, curtail or eliminate “coal” would be akin to cutting off your climate change nose to spite your global warming face. Certainly in any foreseeable future the technology to replace metallurgical coal with a less carbon intense alternative is not in the cards. The world needs our Kootenay coal and we need our coal. Mining is BIG in Cranbrook. Teck Resources is the largest private sector employer in Cranbrook and they do not have an operation, or even an office, in town with 484 Cranbrook and Kimberly residents make a very good living in the Elk Valley coal industry. Teck Resources is the largest producer of metallurgical coal in North America. Teck has 6 steel making coal mines. Five in the Elk Valley one in Alberta. They produced 25.3 million tonnes of steelmaking coal in 2015. The average

total compensation for Teck employees is $125,000 per year. Teck’s local procurement in the Crowsnest Pass through to Cranbrook region is $600M. So clearly coal is important to our local economy. The direct and indirect inputs to our economy from the coal industry are essential. Cranbrook benefits from being the economic hub of the Kootenays and the coal industry is key to our continued success. Metallurgical coal remains an indispensable part of the world’s need. Coal will continue to be an important Kootenay export. So when a friend invites you over for a glass of ethically sourced organic chardonnay to toast the purchase of their new Tesla please set them straight. A toast to coal! The world, and the Kootenays, thanks you for your contribution.

Bull River Shooters match results

(Above) The Bull River Shooters after another successful match. (Inset) Jason March congratulates new shooter 10-year-old Chance Gillard.

by Bradley Woods Saturday April 16 saw another 32 shooters show up for the second match of the season! It was a beautiful day at our range near Fort Steele and everyone was excited for another day of shooting with friends from near and far. We had shooters visiting from Calgary and Lethbridge and even as far away as Grand Forks! A lot of years see us shooting in the snow during our April Match so t-shirts were a real treat this year! Results are as follows: Small Bore Standard Rifle: Match Winner – Kalvin Marsh 64/80 (won by shootout) Master – Jim Zimmerman 64/80 AAA – Rick Fraser 59/80 AA – Jolene Rempel

(Calgary) 61/80 A – David Roth 42/80 B – Amber Williams (JR shooter) 20/80 Small Bore Hunter Rifle: Match Winner – Jason Marsh 68/80 Master – Henry Rempel (Calgary) 67/80 AAA – Kaitlynn Johnson 62/80 AA – Jolene Rempel 51/80 A – David Roth 42/80 B – Kelly Mead (Langdon, AB) (Won by shoot-off) We would especially like to congratulate and welcome another new very young shooter: 10 year old Chance Gillard joined us for the day and sure did have fun shooting off the bench! On Sunday, 14 shooters gathered for a High Power match: 1st Kalvin Marsh 29/40 2nd Jeramey Marsh 23/40

3rd Jason Marsh 20/40 (won in a shootout with his son Jordan!) Remember, the high power match is shot freehand at targets set at 200, 300, 385 and 500 metres. Needless to say, hitting a target is an exciting and pleasing result! A couple other recent very significant results for our members: Kalvin Marsh (18) recently received his Grand Slam pin, meaning he has hit 10 in a row of each of the 4 animals in one class of gun, a very special accomplishment. We are waiting keenly for Kalvin to achieve the perfect score (40/40) in a match, an accomplishment only achieved one other time in Canada and a handful of times in America. Good luck Kalvin! 15 year old Justin Marsh was successful on the 16th with a “Long Run” of 15 consecutive pigs, shot at 60m! Way to go Justin! Silhouette shooting is spectator friendly… when the target is hit it often results in a clang of metal and the target goes spinning and flying! Bring some binoculars and a set of hearing protection (really only needed for high power matches). If you enjoy shooting you’ll likely be attracted to the game. If you think you’d like to try shooting there are many of us who enjoy sharing our love for the sport. Just ask and we’ll let you try! Membership fees

for the BRSA are $90.00 for the year (April 1 ~ March 31). Additional dependent family members may join for $15.00 each, which covers insurance costs. In addition to insurance (which includes liability protection for members if ever involved in a shooting accident) and ongoing club expenses, dues cover your participation in 4 club matches, scheduled throughout the season. Juniors compete for free. Membership for those 65 years and up is $35.00 but does not include any match fees. Memberships can be purchased from Club President Jeramey Marsh 250-420-7302. Memberships can also be purchased at any club match. A wealth of information about Metallic Silhouette shooting can be found on the Internet. For information about the BRSA please contact Jeramey Marsh at 250-420-7302. New members are always welcome! We look forward to seeing you at the range. Our next match is our annual Invitational Shoot Victoria Day weekend, attracting over 70 competitors! Small bore matches are shot Saturday and Sunday and High Power goes Monday & Tuesday. We hope you pop by to check us out and get inspired to give our game a try!

Over $800.00 was donated that evening from our small community and we want to say THANK YOU TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS WHO SUPPORT OUR CLUB every Saturday night. Lotsa Love, Thanks and Hugs to you all.

proud to write a hug to Alberta Première Ministre Rachel Notley for her handling of this week’s crisis (not Pierre Karl Péladeau’s resignation as leader of the Parti Québécois but the wildfire in Fort McMurray). Our hearts go to those displaced, and I hope our donations prove it. Slugs: To the waiters/ waitresses who clear the table before everyone is finished. Proper etiquette is to clear the table when everyone is finished. Those who are still eating are made to feel as though they are holding others up; those who are not are made to feel as though they have rushed the meal.

ENHAM

2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty

Overall: Those expecting an aluminum body for Ford’s bigger-and-badder Super Duty will have to wait a little longer. Drivetrain: Powerplants consist of a 6.2-litre gas V8 and 6.7-litre turbo-diesel that produces 440 horsepower and 860 (!) pound-feet of torque; six-speed automatic transmissions connect to both. While the benefits of Ford’s aluminum-intensive F-150 seem to paying dividends, in the big, brutish class where the Super Duty rules, there’s no such luck yet. Ford has worked magic to keep the stat-creep war with its rivals going strong. For 2015, the commercial-grade F-350

UPSIDE DOWN ON YOUR LOAN? BANKRUPTCY? BAD CREDIT? HIGH INTEREST?

and F-450 got things like larger wheels and tires, revised suspension and even bigger brakes for the latter that are more effective at shedding heat (there’s a larger parking brake, too). Regular F-250 models kept their payload capacity at 3,290 kilograms and conventional towing capacity tops out at 8,390 kilos, which appears to be edged out slightly by the new GMC Sierra HD and the Silverado. In this league, though, it’s really splitting hairs. Ford also now aims its Super Duty trucks toward the higher end of the market. A fully loaded GMC Sierra HD 3500 with the ubiquitous Denali package starts just south of $60,000 and climbs

higher very quickly. Ford’s reply was to add a Platinum trim to the SD line with unique styling, different 20-inch wheels, chrome slathered everywhere, while inside features wood trim and highgrain leather cover nearly every surface. Niceties include standard power-adjustable pedals, a rear-view camera, remote start and power telescoping mirrors. The Platinum also gets Ford’s SD-specific version of MyFord Touch infotainment, which has larger buttons and knobs for secondary controls that can actually be used with work gloves on. For those wanting more traditional luxury, the cowboy-themed King Ranch is back with similar im-

provements and features. As well, the standard 6.2-litre gasoline V8 that rules the roost with 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque remains unchanged. Optional is Ford-developed 6.7-litre V8 turbo-diesel that generates 440 horsepower and 860 pound-feet of torque. The engine can run B20 fuel, which contains 80 percent petroleum diesel mixed with 20 percent bio-diesel. Both powerplants are connected to six-speed automatic transmissions. For turbo-diesel applications, there’s an available “Live Drive” power take off (PTO) unit, consisting of an extra transmission output gear that can control accessories such as a

snow plow, tow-truck lift or even a dump-truck-style box. Base price (incl. destination): $37,500 Type: Two- /four-door heavyduty pickup Base engine (hp): 6.2-litre SOHC V8 (385) Optional engine (hp): 6.7-litre OHV V8, turbo-diesel (440) Layout: Front-engine, rear- / four-wheel-drive Transmissions: Six-speed automatic l/100 km (city/highway): n/a Weight (kg): 2,670
