Minority an opportunity, Clovechok says Clovechok says he is MLA for all people of Columbia River Revelstoke By CAROLYN GRANT
The recounts are complete and the results of May 9 stand. The numbers in the legislature are 43 seats for the BC Liberals, 41 for the NDP and three for the Green Party. Newly elected MLA for Columbia River Revelstoke, Doug Clovechok (BC L) says he prefers to look at the coming minority as an opportunity. The Bulletin caught up with Clovechok on

Clovechok’s main office will be in Kimberley By CAROLYN GRANT
Newly elected MLA Doug Clovechok resides in the Columbia Valley but when it comes to constituency offices, he believes it serves the riding best if he has his primary office in Kimberley and a second one in Revelstoke. “Our main office will be in Kimberley,” he said. “I want to book end the riding. Revelstoke is not in the Kootenays but it’s not in the Shuswap. It’s kind of in the middle and I want to stay in touch. And I want a presence in Kimberley.” Clovechok says that with it looking like a minority government,
there will be no sneaking home to the riding on a Thursday when the Legislature is in session. “With the numbers being what they are, I will be returning from Victoria on Friday evening and I thought it would be best to go straight to the office. And Kimberley is only 20 minutes from the airport. When I need to meet with constituents in the Columbia Valley, I will do what Norm (former MLA MacDonald) did — make appointments.” Clovechok is already looking at potential office space in Kimberley and hopes to have the office up and running very soon.
It’s Public Works Week this week and on Thursday an open house was held at the City Works Yard so residents, young and old, could learn more about what the department does. Bulletin reporter Corey Bullock visited the yard and also attended the tour of the Mark Creek dam. Read all about it on page 12. (Corey Bullock/Kimberley Bulletin)

City moves ahead with facilities rental bylaw Hockey school will be charged for ice time By CAROLYN GRANT
Kimberley City Council gave first reading to the Recreation Facilities Rental Rates bylaw this week, after making some adjustments to fees for seniors at the Aquatic Centre.
There is still time for feedback on the bylaw. It was noted that while the Joint Use Agreement with School District 6 does remain in place, the city will be billing any extra charges in-
curred during the use of those facilities. So if, for example, extra staff has to be brought in when a class uses the pool, the school board would be billed for that. Continued on A3

Local NEWS Opportunity to work together, Clovechok says Continued from A1 “I’m disappointed for our candidate in Courtenay-Comox,” Clovechok said. “He worked really hard and it’s always disappointing when you don’t get across the line.” However, Clovechok says that while he remains a little unsure how it is all going to work, a message has been sent to one and all. “It clearly reinforces that British Columbians want us to work together. I said through my whole campaign that if elected, I am the MLA for all of Columbia River Revelstoke. We can work across idealogical lines. British Columbians want us to work across party lines.” And Clovechok says
that protecting the economy and jobs is always going to be a priority. “We are number one in Canada. We’ve got the strongest economy. We are a beacon of light. But I think we heard — at least I did knocking on doors — that it’s not just about jobs and the economy.” Still Clovechok says that the minority is historic and an opportunity. “Politics have gotten ugly in recent years. This is an opportunity for people to sit down and work like neighbours for the benefit of the people of British Columbia. I’m excited. And I am going to work hard for the people of Columbia River Revelstoke.”

Power outage notice: planned maintenance
Among the busiest volunteers working on the new Veterans Memorial Park are Cindy Postnikoff and son Kyle Dalum, who this week were painting the boulders which will hold the educational plaques with a protective seal. But thanks to the ladies of the United Church a hot lunch was delivered on Wednesday. Postnikoff says it’s not the first time residents or downtown business people have dropped by with goodies and she’d like everyone to know how much it is appreciated. She can also confirm that the unveiling of the monument will be on July 8. A program will be coming out shortly detailing that ceremony. (photo submitted)

Local NEWS An Open Letter to the City of Kimberley Mayor and Council On February 27, 2017 a report was presented to Council that recommended the termination of the Joint Use Agreement (JUA) between the City and School District #6. The JUA, which was originally signed in 1969, was the first of its kind in BC, and its purpose was to avoid duplication of facilities between the SD and City, and “promote better use of these jointuse facilities for community use in an effort to optimize recreational and leisure opportunities for the entire community.” While the report to Council stated that the JUA was not meeting its original intent, I argued at the time that it was. The “Analysis” section of the report held only one section, “Financial Implications,” which outlined the potential profits that could arise from charging school children for facility use, I argued that would not be the case, either in the short or long term. During the JUA discussion on February 27, Council chambers were packed with concerned parents. Ultimately the issue was tabled, and since that date, my wife and I have been carefully watching Council agenda, waiting for an opportunity to continue our involvement with the JUA discussion. But we were never afforded the opportunity. Instead, a report was added from the Committee of the Whole only a day or two before the Council meeting of May 8, 2017 Council voted to not dissolve the JUA, but voted to implement a new fee schedule for facility rentals. My first issue is not with the rate hikes, but with the justification attached to them. Very few residents, including me, fault the City for needing to cover their facility costs with rental fees. Unquestionably, there is a price to pay for keeping these recreational facilities viable. But the report states, “The biggest impact from the implementation of the new user fees is not to the schools, where core school programs are funded by the SD 6 and not passed on to the parents.” This is not true. If an activity goes from costing $0/hour to $40/hour (new ice fees for one hour) it will not remain on the list of core school programs. If a school decides to somehow fund the activity, that money will be taken from some other program within the school. The letter from SD 6, attached to your report states as much, “schools will not receive additional funding to cover these costs.” and “the net result will most likely be less use of your facilities.”The bottom line is that if a school chooses to continue offering the same programming across the board, the new costs will be downloaded onto families. If council voted in favour of the new fee schedule based on this report and understood that it would not have an effect on Kimberley kids, they were misinformed. The second issue I have is with the report’s specific targeting of the Selkirk Sports School hockey program for double the rental fees of all other
school groups, clearly meant to generate profit. If $40/hour covers the City’s costs, what other explanation is there for doubling the fee for one specific group other than profit. The Sports School program is an optional course available to all students in grades 8-12 with the expected outcome of developing student athletes with character. The report to Council includes misconceptions about the program, and uses these to justify a higher rental rate. The report states that the Sports School, “is offered by the school and paid for directly by participants. It is not funded by the school.” This is not true. Although I was never contacted to share details about how the fees for Sports School are spent, I can tell you 100% of the fees collected from participants are spent primarily on bus transportation, with the remainder going towards on and off ice training equipment and aids, bringing in specialized skill coaches and kinesiologists, visiting local training facilities in Kimberley, Cranbrook and beyond, and, as a special treat, buying nosebleed tickets to a Flames game this past January. None of the collected fees pay for the teacher. Selkirk funds the teacher and therefore, the program, which is seen as an integral part of the diverse program offered to Kimberley students. This program does not, nor does it ever intend to, financially profit - this is not in the Sports School’s DNA. The report references fee structures from a number of other hockey academies across the province, from Victoria to Penticton, which range from $800 to $1500. The report concludes that, “[Sports School] fees are significantly lower than comparable programs in the province.” This is exactly right. This is not a justification for doubling the rental rate for kids that choose hockey as their PE course focus. Our program offers a high end hockey and character education program that is affordable and accessible for Kimberley families because of its low cost. We want to maintain that affordability. The City’s efforts to generate profit from this program threatens both its affordability, and its viability. That is unacceptable to me. Finally, I have a few suggestions. First, the goal of the new fee structure appears to be to recover costs and make the recreational facilities viable for the future, which is reasonable. But please leave all your unfounded and divisive justifications out of it and tell your constituents the truth. Secondly, I urge you to rescind this “second set of rules” you’ve created for the Selkirk Sports School by charging them twice as much as other school groups. It threatens a community asset, valued by many students and parents and seeks to profit off the educational choices of some of our most driven young people. Carson Loftsgard Kimberley, BC
Facilities rental bylaw gets 1st reading Continued from A1 “We won’t charge full fees,” said Coun. Kent Goodwin. “We will charge incremental costs incurred. If we have a facility that is open and supervised, there will be no cost. If we have to bring in more staff or life guards, yes there will be a cost.” This has been in the agreement all along, but the city never charged anyone. Count. Darryl Oakley specifically asked about the hock-
ey school. Council received a letter (see letter left) at the same meeting outlining how one resident felt the new fee structure would affect that particular entity. City CAO confirmed that the hockey school would incur additional costs. “Yes, incremental costs will be charged as per the Joint Use Agreement. They haven’t been charged for the past 16 years.”
“Are we back charging?” Oakley asked. “Definitely not,” said Mayor Don McCormick. “But they will be paying for ice time like any other hockey players in Kimberley,” Sommerville said. “The School District has been part of meetings on this,” McCormick said. “They are more than clear on the path forward.”

The people have spoken, apparently
W
ell, the people have spoken. They have clearly sent a message and that message is … this is where that head-scratching emoji would go. According to NDP Leader John Horgan, “British Columbians have voted overwhelmingly to replace Christy Clark’s Liberals with a new government that works better for families. They voted for better schools, shorter wait times for health services, to defend our coast and to fix our broken political system. The newly elected BC NDP team will be working hard every day to ensure British Columbians get a new government that works for them instead of just the wealthy and well-connected.” Now hold on there, John. An overwhelming vote to get rid of Christy Clark wouldn’t have left her party with more votes than yours, would it? Another head scratcher. Although, I’m sure Horgan’s point is that a definite majority of British Columbians did vote for either NDP or Green rather than the BC Liberals. Christy Clark began by congratulating all candidates but then quickly reminded voters that “With 43 BC Liberal candidates elected as MLAs, and a plurality in the legislature, we have a responsibility to move forward and form a government.” So the NDP think the results mean
the voters firmly denounced the BC Liberals. The BC Liberals think that a minority is also plurality and they are the government. And the ones who really holds the power are Andrew Weaver and his tiny Green Party. With 43 seats plus three Green votes, the BC Liberals certainly can govern. But they need a commitment from the Green Party. And with 41 seats, cooperation from the Greens puts the NDP at 44 seats, a slim majority. So the course of BC politics for the next Carolyn couple of years will be Grant determined by one Andrew Weaver. Now Horgan believes that the NDP and Greens share similar goals and concerns, like proportional representation and campaign-finance reform, and therefore should be able to come to an agreement, a “framework” as Horgan calls it, that will have majority support in the Legislature. Everyone is excited about the prospects for change, he said. The BC Liberals, who borrowed the old campaign theme of Bill Clinton — “it’s the economy, stupid!” and talked jobs, jobs, jobs, have found a new appreciation for the environment and social issues. “Our priority is to protect our strong economy and to manage B.C.’s finances responsibly, while listening closely to British Columbians on how we address
important social and environmental priorities,” said Clark on Wednesday. It all sounds good. What will Weaver do? Can we get a bracelet made up? WWWD. The Green Party leader touted compromise. “I don’t think British Columbians want anybody to go back to the polls anytime soon,” Weaver said. “Again, we have said to both parties that we’re willing to negotiate in the long term. There’s nothing magical about two years. There’s nothing magical about three. And frankly, there’s nothing stopping us actually looking for four years.” Does this mean that the Greens will compromise with the BC Liberals on some things and the NDP on others? Or is he going to lock in with one party until the inevitable issue arises that cannot be resolved through compromise? It’s all going to be terribly interesting. But if people like Stephen Harper and Mackenzie King can wrangle a minority for more than two years, surely the politicians of British Columbia can manage it as well. Because who wants to be the one who breaks the delicate balance and sends us back to the polls? Weaver is right about that one. No one wants another election campaign any time soon. And voters in a surly mood could certainly punish whichever party causes another campaign to happen. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Bulletin

Letters to the Editor Restorative Justice Cranbrook and District Restorative Justice Society (CDRJS) provides Restorative Justice Facilitation for individuals who have been arrested for minor crime in the Community and the District. The process is voluntary in that there has to be agreement between those who have caused harm and those who have been harmed to work toward a peaceful conclusion. As part of the resolution, in situations of financial loss, the agreement may indicate financial compensation. Often those harmed want to know why they were victimized and whether they will be safe in the future. Agreements will contain elements of a formal apology and demonstrations of good will to support the concepts of forgiveness, hope and provide the assurances of safety and “lessons learned”, a positive change in future behaviour. The term “Community Service” is often bantered around with respect to efforts to repair relationships within the community. Community Services has both positive and negative connotations depending upon if the individual
T
is acting out of their free will to do so or having the conditions mandated by others. Visions of individuals dressed in orange coveralls, picking garbage along the freeway may reflect some concepts and pictures of mandated Community Service. Solutions of such nature are based in shaming and punishment and are not restorative approaches. Unfortunately, some of us were raised within systems that were punishment based and is the picture we look for when resolving difficulty. Restitution with the community and with those who have been harmed is determined by those directly affected by the crime. The person responsible for the act is encouraged to rebuild their relationships and contribute to the community in a manner in which they will obtain a positive reinforcement from that contribution. Those looking for a “lesson learned” can observe, experience and benefit directly from the contribution. The outcome of a Restorative Justice forum, the Agreement, is confidential. The contribution by the person responsible for the harm is also confidential and is only shared with the RCMP and those
directly affected. In some circumstances, the person may wish to share, what they have learned with the public. Doug McPhee Program Coordinator Cranbrook and District Restorative Justice Society (CDRJS) The following is part of the contribution offered by an individual who admitted responsibility for an offence and wanted to share what they had learned through restorative justice. A little while ago, I got myself into some trouble; I broke the law. Having a criminal record would be devastating to my life and future options. I did the crime so I was prepared for the consequences, doing the time. CDRJS and officers from the RCMP decided to use Restorative Justice and help me. I hope that no one breaks the law, but Restorative Justice helped me realize the impact of my mistake, helped me talk about it and see how my decisions hurt those around me. Thank you to the RCMP and CDRJS.

The book of The honour of the Sovereign Lord was Daniel (written about 165 BC) reflects offended. Adam’s sin was passed on to all succeeding generations through the this developing understanding. It’s not so difficult to understand that act of procreation (this is what is meant
by “original sin”). All human beings are guilty, and all must be condemned. Because we are all guilty, none of us can restore the harmony of God’s creation or satisfy God’s honour. Nevertheless, according to Anselm, God’s honour requires some form of restitution. That’s where Jesus comes in. He is both human and divine. Born of a virgin, he is not tainted with the original sin of Adam. When Jesus gives up his life on the cross, it’s a death he doesn’t deserve. He builds up a balance of merits which can be credited to all those who believe in him. In Anselm’s feudal society, this made sense. The king had power of life and death over those who lived in his territory. Anselm presented a God whose chief concern is justice and honour, because those were the concerns of his society and his day. It is possible — even necessary — for us to think of the atonement differently today. It’s a different world. We understand God differently today. God is not a distant potentate who is chiefly concerned about protecting his honour. We live in an age where we know much about human nature, about the human mind and its workings, about inter–relationships, and so on. We also live in an age of profound despair and hopelessness. Could it be that in such an age as ours, the good news needs to centre more on the loving acceptance of God of all people than on the ways in which we offend God? Could it be that hell as a place of eternal punishment no longer serves as an adequate part of our faith? Could it be that the emerging way, which focuses more on tolerance and compassion for other people, is more adequate than a highly individualistic vision which asks where I will spend eternity? Clearly, my answer to that is yes. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook

Cranbrook Bandits host tournament this weekend ‘A’ and ‘B’ teams will participate in Wood Bat Invitational from Friday to Sunday at Confederation Park BRAD MCLEOD Sports Editor
Both Cranbrook Bandits teams will be at home this weekend, as the organization will be hosting four other teams for a tournament. The 2017 Bandits Wood Bat Invitational will feature both the U19 ‘A’ team and the U17 ‘B’ team, along with the Mission Valley Mariners, the Calgary Redbirds, the Calgary Jr Dinos Yellow team, and the Lethbridge Miners ‘B’ squad. Each team will play three round-robin games on Saturday and Sunday before the championship and consolation games take place on Sunday. “There are some teams to be played [that we haven’t faced before] but they are all going to be the same calibre,” said ‘A’
team head coach Paul Mrazek. “The Lethbridge team might be a little bit younger, but if we don’t play the game right, then it’s going to go sideways on [us].” The Bandits ‘A’ team will kick off the weekend at 1:00 p.m. on Friday with a game against the Calgary Jr. Dinos, a new club from the Absolute Baseball Academy, at Confederation Park. The ‘B’ team will play their first game against the Redbirds at 6:00 p.m. to close out the opening day’s action in Cranbrook. On Saturday, the Bandits ‘B’ team will play a game against the Calgary Dinos at 9:00 a.m at Coronation Park in Kimberley. It will be the only match of the tournament played outside of
Cranbrook. At 10:30 a.m. back at Confederation Park, the ‘A’ Bandits will play Lethbridge and at 3:30 the Miners will play the ‘B’ Bandits. The round robin will conclude with a 6:00 p.m. game between the ‘A’ team and the Redbirds. On Sunday, the 5th place game will be held at 9:00 a.m., the bronze medal game at 11:15 a.m. and the tournament championship will be played at 2 p.m. “We’re looking forward to it,” said ‘B’ head coach Ryan Phillips-Clement. “I told the guys [last weekend] that we need to come prepared to practice this upcoming week because we’ll be facing some of the A teams.” The home tournament is the third

There are two weeks left to nominate a Literacy Champion in the Kimberley area (CBAL File) Crews work a fire in 2015. (Chad St. Pierre/Townsman file)
CBAL seeks nominations A relatively quiet beginning for Literacy Champion
to 2017 fire season
By COREY BULLOCK
Warmer temperatures will create drying conditions TREVOR CRAWLEY Townsman Staff
With a few blazes burning in the interior of the province, wildfire season has officially arrived, however, things are still relatively quiet in the Southeast Fire Centre. Right now, there are only two wildfires of note in the interior; a five-hectare event near Vernon that was reported on Tuesday and a 15-hectare blaze just north of Valmount reported on the same day. But the Cranbrook area and surrounding region hasn’t seen much activity, said Carlee Kachman, a fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre. “The current wildfire situation is that there are five incidences in the Southeast Fire Centre that burned a total of one hectare to date this year,” Kachman said. “Whereas on this day last year, we had 27 incidences and 88 hectares were burned. “So it’s been a
much slower start to the season.” Going back to 2015, there were 39 fires that only burned 55 hectares at this date in the wildfire season. But despite the slow start to the season, there are still fire dangers, Kachman said, as warmer temperatures that are forecasted over the next few days will create drying conditions. “Grasses and things like that will be easily ignitable, so we are asking that the public be vigilant when conducting campfires, or if they are conducting any backyard burning to be mindful of the current conditions,” Kachman said. “There are no bans or restrictions currently in place in the Southeast Fire Centre, however, any time the public is using fire, they have to be extremely diligent with that use, because they are responsible if that fire escapes.” As dried grasses get exposed from the winter snow cover,
there is a higher danger of wildfires, she added. “We did have an incident go a holdover fire in the Nakusp area, which means somebody was burning in the winter when there was snow or last fall and it burned really hot and it burned into the ground,” Kachman said. “As it melts, those fires become uncovered and can ignite again and that was one of the things that had already happened this year.” Anyone wishing to do any open burning or lighting a campfire should keep in mind: • Ensure that enough p e o p l e, water and tools are on hand to control the fire and prevent it from escaping. • Do not burn during windy conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. • Create a fireguard at least one metre around the planned
fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material. • If you are planning a large burn, consider conducting smaller burns around the perimeter beforehand to create a fuel break and help prevent the fire from spreading beyond its intended size. • • Each of these fires should be kept small and must be completely extinguished before starting a new fire. • Never leave a fire unattended. • Make sure that your fire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to touch before you leave the area for any length of time. “I really do want to stress that for the weekend, because it is going to be really nice and sunny — especially for the Cranbrook zone — that when people are going out for campfires and that sort of thing, that everyone be very mindful of their fires,” Kachman said.
Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and the Kimberley Public Library are seeking nominations for this year’s Literacy Champion. CBAL Community Literacy Coordinator, Carol Fairhurst said, “we are surrounded by those in our community who help support literacy in its many forms.” The CBAL is looking for someone who takes time reading stories to children and seniors, raises funds to purchase books, provides kind donations to literacy causes, or
volunteers at events and programs. “A champion may be a person(s), group, organization or business in Kimberley and the [surrounding] area,” said Fairhurst. “Champions are everywhere [and] we encourage individuals of all ages, children too, and organizations to nominate their champions.” Nomination forms are available at the Kimberley Public Library and the CBAL office at 370 Wallinger Avenue, or online at cbal. org/kimberley. They are accepting nominations until Tuesday, June 6.

DEAR ANNIE by Annie Lane
WHO LET THE DOGS IN? Dear Annie: First, may I start off by saying I love animals, especially dogs. I have had several dogs and loved them, as they loved me, unconditionally. But when did it come to be that all dogs are service dogs? When did it start being OK to bring a dog into a grocery, a pharmacy and even a restaurant? Today in a department store, there was a little dog that growled whenever anyone got near it. Some people have allergies to animals, and I don’t think it is OK to expose everyone to dogs. In your home or car, I get that. It’s your space, and you have every right to keep your best friend by your side. But is it me, or has this gotten totally out of hand? When I was growing up, you would never dream of bringing an animal of any kind in a food store. I have contacted people at the headquarters of the grocery chain, and they tell me that the only thing an employee can do is ask the customer whether the animal is a service dog and, if so, what the nature of its service is. No documents are required. People, leave your animals at home. If you can’t, then go to a grocery that delivers your groceries to your car in the parking lot. There is no charge for that. I am fed up with having to worry about whether my grocery cart will be full of pet hair. Perhaps the food industry should take into consideration those of us who don’t bring their animals inside instead of catering to those who do. -Frustrated Dear Frustrated: You’re not the first person who has written to me about this. Whenever people lie or break the rules so they can bring their pet dog around town with them, it negatively impacts the many people who really do need service or therapy dogs for medical reasons. So to anyone out there faking it: Shame on you. That being said, as a bystander, you can’t know for sure what the situation is. It’s not always clear when someone has a condition that necessitates a service animal. So withhold judgment. It’s better for your blood pressure. Dear Annie: This message is for “Still Interested,” who says his wife’s sexual thrill is gone. Perhaps it is his thrill and not hers! Has he turned into a grumpy old man who complains and criticizes? Did he never complete the job she asked him to do last week or last year? Did he fuss about what she cooked for supper? Did he get irritated when she talked to him? Perhaps her thrill would return if he started treating her with love and respect. My advice to him: Finish those jobs. Enjoy that meal. Just listen when she talks. Give her hugs. Help her around the house. Appreciate what she does. And stop complaining! When you thrill her with your actions, perhaps she will, in return, thrill you! -- Happy Wife, Happy Life Dear Happy: I didn’t see any indication in the letter from “Still Interested” that he is treating his wife poorly, so I feel you may be drawing that conclusion based on your own experiences. In any case, indeed -- a happy wife equals a happy life, and those little gestures of affection can go a long way. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Vreneli Brunisholz 1925 – 2017 It is with deep sorrow that the family of Vreneli Brunisholz announces her passing on Tuesday, May 16, 2017 at East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook where she was
surrounded by loving family. Vreneli was born on July 25, 1925 in Thorihaus, Switzerland to Emil and Bertha Wyssmann. In 1954, as a young bride, Vreneli emigrated to Canada with her husband Manfred where after living for the first couple of years in the Skookumchuck area settled in Cranbrook where they remained. Her loving husband of 54 years predeceased her in 2008. As a homemaker, Vreneli was a loving and devoted wife and mother raising three children. She was known for her culinary skills and her “coffee cake” was legendary. She loved travelling to historical sites with her family going to nearby lakes or just playing cards. After her husband passed away she opened her heart to a young puppy named Maggie. Vreneli was predeceased by her husband, her parents and her only brother Erwin. Vreneli is survived by her children Clifford (Pamela) Brunisholz, Sylvia (Gerry) Smalley and Marina (Edward) Rallison, her grandchildren Ryan Johnston, Chris Johnston, Dillon Brunisholz, Sherry (Robin) Sangster, her two great grandsons as well as her dearest friends Dianne Walker, Megan Lessard and Mark Church. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the nurses on the 3rd floor palliative ward of East Kootenay Regional Hospital and Dr. Wolff for the care and compassion they gave Vreneli on this last part of her journey. A great thanks also, to the staff and management at Joseph Creek Care Village where Vreneli resided the last 1 ½ years. A private family interment will take place at a later date. Memorial contributions in honour of Vreneli can be made to the: Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon Okanagan/Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Tour of Mark Creek dam & Public Works Day Once a year, Kimberley residents get the opportunity to see where our drinking water comes from ByOnce COREYa BULLOCK year, The City
of Kimberley hosts a walking tour of Mark Creek dam alongside Public Works Day. The informative day is a great opportunity for residents to not only see what City professionals do, but also get the opportunity to view and learn about the Dam that our drinking water runs through. The only time that residents are able to see the dam is when the City hosts a tour, as the dam is located on Teck property. The tour is approximately two hours long, starting at the Public Works Yard, taking a bus up to the watershed and a short hike down to the dam. The tour also takes you to the Mark Creek Chlorination Station where residents can view and learn about the chlorination process. Along with the tour of the dam, the City hosts Public Works Day, which is an open house and kid-friendly event. The City offers residents a free barbecue lunch, and the opportunity to learn all about what the City crews do and how they do it. From heavy equipment - loaders, boom truck, excavators and graders - to
animal control, water supply, zamboni operation and more, there are all kinds of demonstrations and displays to learn from. According to the City website, raw water for Kimberley is collected through two sources; the Mark Creek watershed as well as Matthew Creek watershed. Mark Creek supplies approximately 80 per cent of the City’s population, while Matthew Creek supplies approximately 20 per cent. The raw water from Mark Creek is supplied through a double curvature arched dam, located 6 kilometres upstream of Kimberley. The dam holds 62 million US Gallons of water, and the water is piped through a 28 inch main line to the Mark Creek Tank at the Mark Creek Chlorination Station. At that station, the water is chlorinated using chlorine generation that produces 0.8 per cent sodium hypochlorite. This process involves mixing salt and electricity. The level of chlorine residual, as well as inlet pressure, water flow, turbidity, water temperature and PH are all monitored through four different
locations via online instrumentation, flowing first through the Mark Creek Chlorination Station. At this time of year, Kimberley’s drinking water tends to increase in turbidity as the freshet picks up. This is why we are on a boil water notice. According to interior health, if the water turbidity reading is anything over five, it is a poor rating, resulting in the boil water notice. The City monitors turbidity and receives updates every 15 minutes. The level of turbidity could fluctuate from one to five or higher, in a matter of hours, depending on the weather. When on a boil water notice, Interior Health recommends that all residents drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice. Water intended for drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, making Water flows through five different channels in the Mark Creek dam (Corey Bullock/Kimberley Bulletin) juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. Water should then be cooled and stored in a clean, covered container in the fridge. Residents may also choose to use bottled or distilled water, or water that has been filtered through a well-maintained treatment device.
