Fuel spill closes Health Centre Monday COREY BULLOCK, CAROLYN GRANT

The Kimberley Health Centre was temporarily closed on Monday, June 5 due to a diesel spill at the facility. “A weekend power outage prompted a generator to come on. Unfortunately, some diesel fuel leaked from the generator, which will require cleanup before the health centre can reopen,” said a News Release from Interior Health. Barrie Peterson of the Kim-

berley Health Care Society, which operates the building for the City of Kimberley, says, all things considered, it could have been worse. “What happened was that when the power went out on Sunday morning, it kicked our generator in. The generator is fairly large and located in a small room at the back of the building that opens onto the road behind the Health Centre.

Man arrested in road rage incident BULLETIN STAFF

A man who used a baseball bat in a road rage incident on May 27th has been arrested and charges are being considered, according to RCMP. Police say it appeared that both parties in the incident initially assaulted each other, while on of the drivers retrieved the weapon to escalate the violence. The victim was struck on the arm and the leg, resulting in bruising. Staff Sergeant Hector Lee says it was an incident that didn’t have to escalate the way it did. “This was an incident that needlessly occurred due to both drivers provoking each other and one going to an extreme,” S/Sgt Lee said. “I encourage the motoring public to not engage another driver in this manner, however, call the police to report poor driving or if you are being followed, call 911 and drive to your nearest police office.”

Pathfinders and Rangers of the Kootenay Girl Guides receive highest awards Canada Cord and Chief Commissioner Gold Award presented By COREY BULLOCK

This past Saturday, June 3 the Kootenay Girl Guides hosted an award presentation at the Kimberley Riverside Campground, with ten recipients hailing from Kimberley, Creston, Cranbrook and Golden. The awards being presented were the Canada Cord Award as well as the Chief Commissioner Gold Award, which are the highest awards in the Pathfinder and Rangers programs for guiding. Guiding Leader, Tamara McLean said, “Canada Cord and Chief Commissioner Gold Award is not something every girl receives. In my 17 years guiding in Kimberley, I have had four Canada Cord recipients and one Chief Commissioners Gold that I have led.” The Canada Cord

Award can be earned by Pathfinders for interacting with their community, and other members of guiding, while learning a wide variety of skills. The six parts of the award revolve around program module requirements, learning and demonstrating leadership in camping or a leadership event, community service, bridging, first aid and a citizenship certificate. The Chief Commissioner Gold Award can be earned by Rangers who complete a certain number of challenges from various program areas. The Rangers must first complete 18 challenges, earning them the Bronze and Silver Chief Commissioner’s Awards, followed by the completion of either the cookie campaign challenge, or the ranger service project. The recipients started the day by rafting

down the St. Mary’s River, courtesy of Kootenay Rafting Co., putting in at the lake and ending the float at the campgrounds. There was a barbecue lunch, with friends and family members present, along with Mayor, Don McCormick and Liberal MLA for Columbia River Revelstoke, Doug Clovechok. McCormick said during the opening ceremonies, “these days a big part of [guiding] is community service; getting out and volunteering in the community. As just about everybody knows, you all come from small communities, that [community service] is the lifeblood of the communities that we live in. “I really appreciate the opportunity to say thank you on behalf of not only myself, but also the City of Kimberley for the great

work that you do.” Clovechok thanked and congratulated the guides on behalf of the Liberal party and B.C. Premier, Christy Clark. “I would like to congratulate you and applaud you on behalf of Christy Clark; she is amazing, just like you are. “These kinds of awards [are] about skill development, developing young people, especially young women. So thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be here today.” The recipients of the Canada Cord award were Sheila Martine, Deanna Stiller, Marika Sutter, Meredith Walker, Kalissa Bloodworth and Tallinn Austin. The recipients of the Chief Commissioner Gold Award were Izabella Plante-Dresser, Crystal Dolan, Mackenzie McLean and Kaleigh Beattie.

Kimberley’s Rotary Club hosts 8th annual Lobsterfest The popular event is held once a year, flying in fresh lobster from the east coast

By Corey Bullock

Once a year the Kimberley Rotary Club hosts Lobsterfest at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre. This year marked the eighth Lobsterfest event, with 190 guests, live entertainment, silent and live auctions, a 50/50 draw and much more. Lobsterfest Chairperson, Bev McCormick said, “we were extremely happy with the number of guests that joined us for Lobsterfest dinner. The whole evening went according to plan, timing was perfect, our mc’s were entertaining and the food and music was outstanding. I have been receiving rave reviews from everyone.” The evening started off at 5p.m. with cocktails, ticket sales, and live music by Clarence Uhll. At 6:15p.m. the salad

buffet opened, serving coleslaw, corn salad, potatoes and fresh rolls. The buffet was accompanied by live music from SHEVA. Shortly after the buffet, was the traditional “March of the Lobsters”. McCormick says it’s the most interesting part of the evening. “The most interesting part of the evening is the now famous and unique lobster march,” said McCormick. “Rotarians dressed in their Lobsterfest tee shirts and quirky handmade lobster hats are led into the ballroom by a local piper [Steve Maher], each with a tray of lobsters to serve to a table of hungry guests. Once the guests have been served their first lobster, the RCR serving staff takes over.” For anyone who didn’t know how to properly disassemble

a lobster, there were videos and demonstrations playing on two large screens, making it less intimidating to dig in. The evening wrapped up with a dessert buffet, a live auction led by auctioneer Wes Tallman, and a silent auction with many donations from local businesses. “It is a busy night with other raffles and draws as well,” said McCormick. “We try to make this event as unique and fun-filled as we can. This is our eighth successful Lobsterfest, so I do believe we are doing something right. Thanks to all our supporters, guests and businesses, you make this event possible!” Owners of the Tamarack Dispensaries, Tamara and Rod Duggan donated $5725 to the Rotary Club, which is equivalent to the total

price for all of the lobsters purchased. Many of the sponsors and donors include Pacific Coastal Airlines, Fairmont Hot Springs, Go Kimberley, The Kimberley Bulletin, Canadian Tire, Kwick Print, Kootenay Granite, The College of the Rockies, Kimberley Riverside Campground, Tamarack Dispensaries, Kootenay Mountain Works, Kimberley Golf Club, St. Eugene Resort, Kimberley Dynamiters, The Sandman Inn, Wildstone Golf Course, Overwaitea Foods, Melody Motors, Trickle Creek Golf Resort, Mountain Spirit Resort, Canmore Wine Merchants, Creekside Physiotherapy, New Dawn Developments, Northstar Mountain Village Resort, Chalet Mayor, Don McCormick and Kimberley Rotary President Nominee, Jaret Thompson at GM, Wine Works and the 2017 Lobsterfest (Corey Bullock/Kimberley Bulletin) Shadow Mountain.

Volunteers needed for annual bat count

By COREY BULLOCK

With the devastating White Nose Syndrome looming, the Kootenay Community Bat Program (KCBP) is seeking volunteers and bat colonies for the annual bat count. The citizen-science initiative

encourages residents to count bats at local roost sites. “Bat counts are a wonderful way for residents to get involved in collecting important scientific information,” said Project

Tracking Down Inflammation

It is now widely suspected that inflammation is the primary driver behind most chronic disease. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and thyroid disease are a few of the many disease processes that are driven, at least in part, by inflammation. Inflammation is key to the body’s ability to heal. When it is out of control, inflammation turns from a healer to a killer. Diet plays a key role in controlling the inflammatory process and eating a diet rich in whole grains (except wheat), cold water fish, dark green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds will keep your inflammatory processes as low as possible. Beef, peanuts, eggs, fried foods, sugar, wheat and animal fats add fuel to the fire of inflammation. There are a number of tests that can be used to measure chronic inflammation: C-reactive protein and ESR are two tests that will show if inflammation is really high. For most of us, these tests will be normal even if our inflammation levels are too high for ideal health. In past articles I have

written about how thermography can be used to monitor breast health. Digital infrared thermography can also be used for whole body assessment to identify areas of the body that are dangerously inflamed. Using the camera to image the head and neck can show if there is dental, thyroid, sinus and carotid artery inflammation. Images taken of the torso can give information about the inflammatory state of the heart, liver, lungs and, of course, the breasts. Thermal images taken in the clinic are sent to the US where they are assessed by and reported on by medical doctors who specialize in this area. Thermography is a powerful tool to help identify inflammatory processes that are not high enough to show on blood tests but are enough to adversely affect your health. Once identified, inflammation can be targeted using fish oils, extracts from tumeric and other herbs, enzymes taken on an empty stomach and reducing animal fats in your diet.

Biologist with KCBP, Leigh Anne Isaac. “No special skills are needed, kids can be involved, and you can relax in a deck chair while counting.” Isaac says that the importance of bat counts revolve around the fact that there is very little information about where, and how many, bats there are in

the Kootenays. “[This research] allows us to establish a solid baseline for understanding the magnitude of impact and the work that needs to be done in terms of a geographic focus,” said Isaac. This year, the annual bat count will collect baseline data on bat populations before the

White Nose Syndrome fungal disease affects bats in the province. “White Nose Syndrome is estimated to have killed more than six million bats since it was first discovered in Eastern North America a decade ago,” said Biologist, Mandy Kellner, coordinator of the B.C. Bat Program. “In March 2016, the dis-

ease was detected just East of Seattle. This has greatly increased our urgency to understand bat populations in B.C.– “We need the public’s help to census local bat populations. The summer of 2017 may be our last year to obtain population estimates before White Nose Syndrome causes widespread declines in Western North America.” Isaac says that the disease can decimate 95 to 100 per cent of bat populations. “We know relatively little about bats in the Kootenay region including basic information on population numbers,” said Isaac. “This information will be extremely valuable, particularly if it is collected annually. If people want to get involved but don’t have a roost site on their property, we will try to match them with a roost site nearby.” A roost site can be a bat-house, barn, bridge, church steeples or attic, anywhere that provides a summer home for female bats and their young. Volunteers wait outside a roost site and count the bats as they fly out at twilight. They record the final number along with basic information on weather conditions. Ideally, one to two counts are done between June 1 and June 21 before pups are born, and one to two more between July 21 and August 15 when pups are flying. Isaac says that the ideal conditions for the bat counts are on a relatively warm day, where it is not rainy and not windy. “If it’s nice for you to sit out, it will be nice for insects to be out, and nice for bats,” said Isaac. According to the B.C. Bats website, these are the steps to take when participating in a bat count: Arrive at your roost at sunset (bats will begin to emerge at

dusk). The air temperature should be at least 12 degrees celsius, with low wind speed. Stand or sit outside so that the bats’ exit point is visible from a comfortable distance. More than one person might be needed if bats are exiting from multiple points. Tally the bats as they fly out for their nightly insect-eating. B.C. Bats can provide volunteers with a “hand clicker” to make counting easy. Record observations on the data sheet provided via the website. Mail B.C. Bats the data sheet at the end of the summer. Do not enter bat roosts or handle the animals, and respect private property; always ask for permission if the bat roost is on someone else’s land. There are three levels for bat counting that volunteers can be involved in to help research efforts. Level one is the “bat reporter”, which involves one count over the summer between June 1 and 21. Level two is the “bat tracker”, which involves two counts between June 1 and 21. Finally, level three is the “bat enthusiast”, which involves two counts between June 1 and 21 and two counts between July 21 and August 15. Funded by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and with support of the B.C. Conservation foundation and the Province of B.C., Columbia Basin Trust, and the Columbia Valley Conservation Fund, the KCBP provides information for people dealing with bat issues on their property or have questions about how to attract bats. To find out more information, register for a bat count, or get assistance with bat issues, visit www.bcbats. ca or call 1-855-9BCBATS (extension 14), or email kootenay@ bcbats.ca.

WFP, Ice will sink or swim together

Gerry Warner

hen was the last time you attended an event at Western Financial Place (WFP) sometimes referred to as the “Rec Plex”? Think hard because you have a vested financial interest in this facility, which is losing money at an alarming rate and costing Cranbrook taxpayers about $3.5 million-a-year. Thanks to a Freedom of Information (FOI) application I recently made and assistance from the City a graphic image emerges of a tremendously underused facility that’s costing taxpayers about the same as the City used to spend on its annual roads budget. As things stand now, it’s not unfair to call WFP a “white elephant” and a white pachyderm it will remain unless we who live in this fair city and our elected leaders unite in finding a strategy to reduce the money hemorrhaging from this building every day. Thanks to my FOI application, here’s what I found out. WFP has a TPO (thermoplastic olefin) roof with a rubber-like membrane to keep the water out. TPO roofs have been on the market for about 20 years and were a new product without a long track record when the City chose a TPO roof for WCP in early 2000. While the roof lived up to its guarantee of 15 years, it has been leaking for a considerable length of time and the City now wants to replace it at a cost of more than $3 million to City taxpayers, Ouch! So, was a TPO roof a good choice in the first place? Probably not especially if they need to be repaired or replaced

every 15 years or so. RoofingCalculator.com, which rates roofs for the industry, says while cost effective and environmentally friendly, TPO roofs have several “important drawbacks,” because the process is new and manufactures are working on improvements to achieve durability at the lowest possible cost. “This means that not all TPO membranes are created equal and some perform a lot better than others,” says RoofingCalculator.com. In fact, many TPO roofs have “failed” it says. This leaves our current Council in a jam. WFP cost $23 million to build and as of Dec. 31, 2016, there was still $15.3 million owing on the facility in the form of two mortgages of seven and nine percent. That’s a big bill for the taxpayers, one of the biggest expenditures in the City’s budget, and it’s all going to a building that loses millions every year. But the bill must be paid. There’s no choice in the matter and neither the City or the taxpayers can just walk away from it So, what can be done? City staff is currently exploring options to fix the roof and will report to Council soon. No matter what “fix” is chosen the cost will be expensive and picked up by the taxpayers. The City has also hired an events manager to book more events for WCP and raise revenue for the facility. This is where we the taxpayers come into the equation. We’re the owners of the building so every time we go to a concert, swim in the pool or attend an Ice game we’re pumping money into WFP. The same applies for the businesses in WFP; pity

there aren’t more of them. Nevertheless, every time you patronize them you’re supporting the most expensive facility the City owns and you’re one of the owners too. In short, use it or lose it. It’s as simple as that. Finally, there’s the make or break situation with the Kootenay Ice, by far WFP’s biggest single tenant. I don’t need to remind anyone how perilously close we came to losing The Ice. But we’re not out of the woods yet. In the last five years, revenues from The Ice dropped from a peak of $119,760 in the 2013/2014 season to $93,030 in the 2016/2017 season as fan attendance plummeted to around 1,700-a-game. This has got to change and change quickly or we’ll lose The Ice and WFP will lose even more money. Currently the Ice pay an annual occupancy fee of only two per cent of gross receipts per game, a “sweetheart deal” if there ever was one. But, they also pay the City a bonus fee of $20,000 annually when the average paid attendance exceeds 2,600 per game and even more if the attendance is higher. However, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to realize that both the City and The Ice need to be receiving more revenue in the future if the team is going to stay and WFP become less of a white elephant. In other words, the only way WFP will stop losing money and the Ice stay in town is for Cranbrook taxpayers to give them the support they deserve. Gerry Warner is a retired journalist, a WFP patron and an Ice fan.

Searching for confidence in Victoria What’s Up? A Trevor Crawley

n ancient Mayan calendar predicted that the world would end on Dec. 22, 2012 through some unnamed calamity that would be apocalyptic in nature. Five years later, the world is still here, despite the hilarious hand-wringing that occurred before that particular date passed. However, judging from some of the reactions to last week’s power-sharing agreement between the BC NDP and the BC Greens, one would think that the end of the world was nigh. First, lets establish the background. On May 9th, BC held it’s 41st general election that elected candidates in 87 ridings across the province. Once the dust settled, the results showed that the BC Liberals captured 43 seats, the BC NDP took 41 seats, while the BC Greens claimed 3 seats. Guess the BC Liberals are back to governing, right? Wrong. In order to pass legislation, there needs to be a 50 per cent majority in the Legislature, meaning that the Liberals would need 44 votes — one shy of their election total — to get a bill through. That’s a problem, and it strikes to the heart of the developments between the two opposition parties. The only thing that matters in the Legislature is confidence. If the governing party cannot pass legislation that carries a confidence vote, then there is no confidence in the Legislature. In this case, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon will approach BC Liberal

leader Christy Clark for the first opportunity for form government. The Liberals will sit for a throne speech — action that carries a confidence vote, and the NDP/ Green alliance will likely vote it down. No confidence. So, if there is no confidence in the governing Liberal party, what happens? One might be inclined to think it would trigger an election, however, Guichon is obliged to approach other party leaders to see if they can form a government that can pass confidence votes. Again, in this case, the NDP and the Greens have hammered out an agreement that stipulates the Greens will lend their three-member caucus support to the 41-member NDP, therefore reaching the 44 seats needed for majority support for confidence votes. They’ll likely choose a Speaker of the House from their ranks, subtracting their number of MLAs to 43, however, the speaker can vote to break ties. But that’s undemocratic! Nobody voted for an NDP-Green alliance! That doesn’t matter, because all that matters is confidence in the Legislature. There were 87 elections on May 9 that sent 87 representatives to Victoria. From there, it’s up to the Lieutenant Governor to approach the party who won the most seats to form government, even if it’s a minority. But if that minority can’t govern, the Lieutenant Governor has to at least try to see if any other party (or parties) can govern before dissolving the Legislature and calling an election. In this case, there just so happens to be a situation where confidence in the Legis-

lature can be met through the agreement between the NDP and Greens. In terms of how the electorate voted, look at the numbers. Sure, the BC Liberals got the most seats, which is the only thing that matters when it comes to gaining power in the Legislature. But from a percentage standpoint, the results paint a different picture. Provincially, just under two million votes were cast, which accounts for 61.5 per cent of registered voters. Looking into the percentages of the two million ballots cast — 40 per cent went to the BC Liberals, 40 per cent went to the NDP, 17 per cent went to the Greens, while the remaining three per cent are classified as ‘other’. So from that perspective, no one has a majority or can claim to have a mandate to govern. However, combining the vote between the NDP and the Greens at 57 per cent gives a modicum of legitimacy to the agreement. It’s less of an endorsement of the deal between the two parties and more of a rejection of the BC Liberals, who have held the government reins for the last 17 years. However, all this being said, even though the alliance between the two is fresh, it will be tested in the coming months and the Greens run the risk of of being painted in a darker shade of orange, which could hurt them in future elections. And if this alliance fails then BC voters will be heading back to the polls. Anyone want to place their bets?

Trolls and snowflakes: The fairytales from hell

Barry Coulter

et’s say it was 1970, and you asked me if I wanted to hear a story about trolls and snowflakes. I would have thought of “The Hobbit,” or some dark fantasy from the Brothers Grimm, and I would have said “Yes! Please!” But it is not 1970, it is now, and if you were to ask the same question, I would say “No! No!” and perhaps add a cry of alarm. “Troll” and “snowflake,” are two terms, among others, that have been co-opted for today’s Culture Wars, stripped of their original meanings and used to blast one’s enemies. For example: Used to be that a troll was some form of mythical, cave-dwelling being — ugly, and generally hostile to humanity. My theory is that our ancient ancestral memories dimly recall when we shared the earth with several other species of humans — Neanderthals, for instance (now we are the only species left). Though evidence shows people like the Neanderthals were much more sophisticated than we give them credit for, these other species of humans were our enemies, no doubt, and back in the day they were the hated other. And so, we’ve incorporated these other people into our mythologies and folklores as brutish subterraneans, made of dirt, and out to get us, like the troll under the bridge who did battle with Billy Goat Gruff, or the three yobbos in

“The Hobbit” who turned to stone when the sun hit them. But lo, thanks to the internet, trolls have emerged as something even nastier than our folklore could imagine. A troll is now an anonymous presence on the internet, who spreads venom and hostility, fake news and slander, by posting provocative, often abusive statements on social media or websites to cause maximum disruption and opprobrium. With all the advances and enlightenment the communications revolution of the past 20 years has brought, dark forces like the trolls have also been unleashed. But wait, there’s more! In this new age — let’s call it the Age of Trump, just for shorthand — trolls have really come into their own. They have become weaponized, and are used in the everyday dealings of types like Vladimir Putin and Milos Yiannopoulos, to further their agendas online — to the detriment of someone else. Trolling is a zero sum game, you see. For the troll to win, someone else has to lose. Though trolls still lurk under bridges; that is, hide in their anonymity, trolling has become a professional thing. Someone will pay you to be an online operative, spreading lies and slander that people will believe. And there is a term for this new career option — Sock Puppet! A troll who is working to spread someone’s agenda is known as a sock puppet. And then there is the term “snowflake,”

which like “troll,” has become part of the new language of the Culture Wars. Used to be, a snowflake was that six-sided unit of precipitation that brought such joy to children’s hearts on the night before Christmas. But now, it is a term of great scorn, generally aimed at who you consider a naïve liberal — perhaps someone who is interested in identity politics, or believes in “safe spaces” at schools. [I don’t know — when I was in junior high school my safe space was the detention room. If I was feeling especially sensitive, I would actually try to get in trouble in class, so I would get sent to detention over noon hour. This would be preferable to risking the combat of the school yard or hallway. And one can’t go to the library every noon hour. That would have become too suspect. One needs a little bit of bad boy cachet in the detention room, to leaven that library nerdiness. But I digress.] Astonishingly, “snowflake” has become a deadly insult. We had different insults when I was in Grade 8, but “snowflake” is a whole new way of getting under someone’s skin. Makes questioning someone’s parentage seem quaint. The research is still pending, but I would make the rough generalization that in today’s Culture Wars, “Troll” is an insult used against the right, “snowflake” against the left. The ruthless versus the naïve. That’s the fairytale we’re living in these days.

Pierce: Dismissal from Ice was “a shocker”

Brad McLeod Sports Editor

Coaching can be a tough business and Luke Pierce knows that well. His dismissal from the Kootenay Ice on Friday, however, was a brand new experience. “This is the first time that this has happened to me [and] you go through a lot of emotions,” Pierce said shortly after the news became public. “You go through it all: some anger, some disappointment, some embarrassment, you name it. We’re just trying to cope with it the best we can as a family.” In 2009-10, Pierce began his coaching career by taking over as the head coach of the Merritt Centenni-

als, a job that he held for six seasons before being hired by the Ice in May 2015. While at the helm of the rebuilding Ice, the franchise missed the WHL playoffs for the first two times since their arrival in Cranbrook in 1998. Overall, Pierce accumulated a 26-99-19 record over two seasons with Kootenay. Nevertheless, Pierce was surprised to find out that he would not be returning to his post for the 2017-18 season. “I think that when these things come about you can use hindsight a little bit to maybe look for reasons, but I really didn’t see it coming,” he said. “It was a shocker for

me, for sure.” At the beginning of May, the Kootenay Ice underwent a transfer of ownership from the Chynoweth family to Winnipeg investors Matt Cockell and Greg Fettes. According to a team press release, Cockell said that the decision to let Pierce go was based on a commitment to “a fresh start.” “We feel that this was a necessary decision to accomplish that objective,” Cockell said. Although Pierce admitted that the effects of the news were still “too fresh”, he is thankful that the announcement came early enough in the summer for him to have some time to

Former Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce leans against a goalie net during a 2016-17 practice at Western Financial Place. (Brad McLeod Photo) evaluate his next step. “There’s always silver linings and I try to be the optimist as best I can,” he said. “I think that everyone understands that when

there is new ownership or new managers that there’s an opportunity that things could happen. “I was hopeful that I’d have a chance [to

stay] with a group that I feel pretty strongly about coming into the season, but that’s not the case.” Earlier in the off-season, Pierce was named

by Hockey Canada to the coaching staff of Team Canada Red at the 2017 U17 Hockey Challenge. The coach said he has no immediate plans other than to “spend time with his family and figure out what the best move is from here forward.” The Ice also announced that they will begin the search for a new head coach immediately and Cockell confirmed that the rest of the team’s current coaching staff is still under contract for the upcoming season. At press time, Kootenay is now one of three WHL team’s with head coach vacancies, along with the Calgary Hitmen and Victoria Royals.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

Boil Water Notice rescinded By CAROLYN GRANT

The on again off again Boil Water Notice for Kimberley residents is off again. For now. The latest notice was issued last Wednesday, May 31 and rescinded on Monday, June 5. However, a Water Quality Advisory remains in effect. During a water quality advisory, Interior Health recommends that the elderly and persons with weakened immune systems drink boiled water. A water quality advisory is not a boil water notice for the general public. The City of Kimberley is bound by Interior Health regulations to issue advisories and notices related to tur-

bidity in Mark Creek, Kimberley’s water source. When turbidity is between 1 and 5 ntu an advisory is issued. When turbidity is above 5 ntu, water quality is considered poor and a boil water notice is issued. During the spring freshet, turbidity can fluctuate depending on the quantity of water entering creeks due to snow melt. Rain can add to this turbidity. Given how quickly it can fluctuate, it is best to check for updates. The City posts turbidity levels in the water system on its website (kimberley.ca) daily, Monday through Friday.

Continued from A1 “There is a large tank of fuel and a smaller tank for the generator. The float valve that controls the flow between those tanks malfunctioned. As a result the fuel vented out to the back parking lot.” Peterson says the fuel didn’t go into the building except for the concrete floor of the generator room. Most spilled outside. The Fire Department attended immediately and threw sand on the road to act an absorbent. A Hazmat company steamed the area of the spill and vacuumed the adjacent storm sewer and city operations removed the sand according to a hazardous material protocol. “We are very relieved the spill stayed where it was and didn’t spill over the bank,” Peterson said. “We do presume it will be covered under insurance although we are still going through the paperwork.” The Health Centre reopened on Tuesday. The Kimberley Health Centre offers home health, public health, and mental health services, as well as private physician offices. The facility is owned by the City of Kimberley and operated by the Kimberley Health Care Society. It was originally built as a hospital, which was shut down in 2002, and the city of Kimberley purchased the facility from the provincial government.

DEAR ANNIE by Annie Lane

THE HELP ISN’T ENOUGH Dear Annie: I feel torn and guilty that I’m not doing enough to take care of my mom. My stepdad and I are the only ones taking care of my mom, who needs daily assistance. I thank the Lord for my stepdad every day. I have a sister and brother, but they don’t visit often. I’ve spent 4 1/2 days every other week with my mom and stepdad since I retired. I also have a part-time job. Today when I left, Mom asked when I’ll be back. I told her I’ll be there again in two weeks. She said that is too long. How do I handle my guilt that I’m not doing enough? -Daughter Dear Daughter: The best way to handle your guilt is to keep a healthy perspective, knowing that you are doing your best -- and your best sounds pretty darn good to me. As a caretaker, your own self-care is extremely important. For resources to this end, visit the Family Caregiver Alliance website at https:// www.caregiver.org or call 800-4458106. Secondly, if you haven’t asked your brother and sister to pitch in more by at least visiting on a semi-regular basis, now is the time. Perhaps they’ve gotten used to your taking care of everything and aren’t aware of how extreme the situation has gotten. Tell them that Mom is lonely and would love some company. Also, some insurance plans (including some Medicare and Medicaid plans) cover hospice care, so that’s an option worth exploring. Please know that you are doing a great job, and your mom raised a truly compassionate soul. Dear Annie: My parents always told me that if someone helps you out, you help that person in return. Some people in my family think you should help everyone and not expect anything in return. For example, sometimes my brother “Carson” works on our half brother’s car and doesn’t charge him anything. I feel that’s very charitable. Carson just tells him that if he helps him out sometime, he’ll call it even. But if our half brother won’t help do anything, is that right? I feel those types of people are using people. What are your thoughts? -- D.D. Dear D.D.: Lending a helping hand to someone in need is always a good thing, unless the person you are helping begins to get your hands dirty. What I mean by that is that if you feel you are being taken advantage of, then you should stop, but if you don’t mind helping, then you should continue. It sounds as if Carson doesn’t mind helping out your half brother and hopes the favor will be returned one day but also isn’t too concerned about ensuring that it’s paid back. That’s a healthy attitude. I’ve found that what goes around truly does come around, though often not in the form we’re expecting. “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” -- Mother Teresa Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Marion Delores Cottingham “Dodie” 1942 – 2017

It is with deep sorrow that the family of Dodie Cottingham announce her passing on Saturday, May 27, 2017 in Cranbrook, BC at 75 years of age.

Dodie was born on March 7, 1942 in Willingdon, AB. As a small child her parents moved her to Cloverdale, BC. After her high school years, Dodie joined the R.C.A.F. which led her to R.C.A.F. Station Greenwood in Nova Scotia. There she met and married her husband John, of whom she was married to for 54 wonderful years. Dodie and John travelled whenever they could. Besides family gatherings, Dodie enjoyed gardening and the Kootenay Ice. Dodie is survived by her loving husband John, son Darren, both of Cranbrook, BC, her daughter Kelly of Miramichi, NB, grandsons Tom Williams, Andy Williams (Sarah), her great granddaughter Avery Ann of Cold Lake, AB, her sister Barbara and family of the East Kootenay and numerous relatives and dear friends spread throughout Canada and the USA. Dodie was predeceased by her parents Peter and Mary Gordey of Cloverdale, BC. A family gathering to celebrate Dodie’s life will be held at a later date.

Continued from A1 “We were very fortunate to be able to book him as keynote speaker,” said Johnny Strilaeff, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Officer. “The overall theme for the conference is responses to change, not the negative aspects, but embracing opportunities provided by change. We think Chris Hadfield can really speak to that and inspire the audience. We were talking about who we could get as keynote. We wanted an prominent Canadian and we thought about Col Hadfield. By good fortune, though his contacts, we were able to book him.” Hadfield will speak to youth and the public at an event in Cranbrook on Friday, October 13 at Western Financial Place, and then give the keynote address in Kimberley

at the Conference Centre. Both events are free and open to the public. You must register online to attend the free events, or any other symposium events at ourtrust.org/symposium. Strilaeff says he expects upwards of 300 people to attend the conference. He says Kimberley was chosen through a combination of different goals. “We did make a financial contribution to the conference centre. It’s quite an incredible facility, not just for Kimberley but for the region. We hold our symposiums every

three years and make an effort to move it around. This year we were looking at the East Kootenay and Kimberley served as a perfect fit.” Strilaeff says a real cross section of the Basin community attends the symposiums. “We get a lot of attendees from local government, from non-profits we work with and also people just interested in the various topics we will be presenting. We typically sell out these conferences, though that is tongue-in-cheek because there is no charge for any of the events.”
