Clock ticking on skatepark grant money
BEAT THE HEAT

It is time to break ground or the Trail SkatePark committee stands to lose more than $10,000 in grants. In 2012, the City of Trail allotted $10,250 of Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) Community Initiatives money to the Trail SkatePark. The money has to be spent within a year, otherwise it will have to reapplied for, said Sharon Toupin, accounting clerk for the regional district’s CBT grants program. “It is my understanding that it is common for grants to be time-limited,” said Scott Daniels, SkatePark committee member. “Options to address this would be to support the city in identifying work that can be executed before the grant expires or to request an extension.” In June, the SkatePark committee met with representatives from the city to discuss its fundraising progress and request further feedback. “They are a small group focused on moving forward,” said Coun. Eleanor GattafoniRobinson. “But grant application is a difficult process and we have to face reality because the skate park isn’t going to appear tomorrow.” The committee is hoping that CBT will have some compassion for them and extend the timeline, added Gattafoni-Robinson. “They will have to wait and see because there is not much more that can be done,” she said. In June 2012, Trail council committed to funding one half of the estimated $550,000 cost for the proposed skate park. Before construction on the project moves forward, the SkatePark committee is expected to raise the other half of the money required. See GROUP, Page 3
Bear paws discovered in downtown alley BY TIMES STAFF The two bear paws discovered in an alley behind Cedar Ave., in downtown Trail remain a mystery to local law enforcement. The RCMP was contacted on Sunday when a person discovered the two severed paws lying on the ground in the alley between Cedar Ave., and Pine Ave. “We have no idea of how
long they had been there and there are no witnesses,” said Sgt. Rob Hawton of the Trail and District detachment when contacted by the Trail Times. “Conservation was contacted and had nothing further to add.” Calls to local conservation officers and the provincial headquarters were not returned.
Hawton said there is little recourse for the RCMP in such a case with no witnesses or leads. “Hunting season closed on June 30 so the bear may have been harvested legally and at this time we do not have evidence of an offence.” He added the detachment was not aware of any other reports of this nature. Bear paws are highly val-
ued in some Asian markets. In early June, more than 200 bear paws were discovered as smugglers tried to enter China. Reports estimated the value to be over $450,000 on the black market. Many believe the paws are high in nutrition content and recognized as an expensive gift. The sale and export of bear parts is illegal in B.C.

oday, I will take a break from the beginner bridge columns and discuss a hand that happened last year in open pairs of the Trail summer sectional. This bridge tournament is just around the corner this July 5th to 7th at the Trail curling rink. See my web site for more information. The bidding: Please take note of the question marks in the bidding above. First of all, West does not have a vulnerable first seat weak two. He has a four card major, the diamond suit is too weak and his hand could be too strong if partners opens a heart. In first or second seat, one needs two of the

top honours or three of the top five honours. It is no fun being doubled and not being able to draw trump without some difficulty. Secondly, East should bid either three or five diamonds. Four diamonds will just push the opponents to a makeable game. East and West having a good diamond fit may tell the other

partner one is short in diamonds. Thirdly, West raises his preempt to five. He cannot do this, otherwise his first preempt should have been either a pass or a preempt at a higher level. Here, it should be a pass. Furthermore, East could be raising the preempt to further the preempt and not to make. Now West has furthered the preempt even more and the opponents could double for 800. West’s five diamond bid give the opponents an opportunity to double or to play. East’s preempt is bad in the first place because, even at the two level, with a different arrangement of the cards, the opponents may collect more than their game can give. Furthering the preempt: If both are vulnerable, one does not want to be down three doubled. That would give 800 while the opponents can only make around 600. If one preempts, the partner knows, at equal vulnerability, they will be down two. If partner can see two
cover cards, the contract will make and if he raises the preempt one level for every cover card he has, he is just furthering the preempt and can expect to be down no more than 500 doubled. If the preempter wrongly takes over the captaincy, he has given a Christmas present of 800 points or more. Cover Cards are just the top three trump and all the aces and kings. Queens and jacks, unless they are in the trump suit, are often useless opposite partner’s preempt. Stretching: South
will stretch to bid with such good distribution. Partner should give leniency and not make a slam try. Slam is often not there when the opponents are both bidding or preempting legitimately. Other times, partner should give leniency when partner opens or preempts in third seat not vulnerable. The play: Declarer should not try to ruff in the short trump hand. Instead he should draw trump as fast as he can because the club suit is a resting place for his losers. Result: Five Spades makes for 450.

June provided a weather roller coaster
All aboard
July off to a sizzling start By Sheri Regnier Times Staff
Topsy-turvy is one way to describe June weather, although a local forecaster prefers “unsettled.” “When I look at the weather patterns for June, it was more unsettled than anything,” said Ron Lakeman, forecaster at the Southeast Fire Centre. “Meaning the weather was changeable, sun shining at 8 a.m., rain by noon, followed by more sun.” With a total amount of precipitation 160 per cent above normal, June proved to be one of the wettest on record for a fourth straight year. “Of the summer months June is by the far the wettest, and usually more prone for rain than May,” he said. During the first half of the month, a flat ridge of high pressure produced several sunny warm days, and a sporadic mix of light showers and thunderstorms. The third week saw almost half the month’s total precipitation, 62.4 mm, during a main rain event that began on June 18 and continued to the 20th. June 19 set a new record when 46 mm of rain fell, up from 44.2 mm, set in 1986. Lakeman said cold lows that move in from the Pacific tend to produce significant amounts of rain, and this year, the lows tended to move slowly, producing two or three days of rain at a time. Muggy could also be a word to describe most of June, as the mean monthly temperature was 0.5 C warmer than normal mainly due to relatively mild overnight values. “All the way through the month, the average daytime temperature was normal,” explained Lakeman. “But the extra cloud cover overnight due to systems which produce precipitation, meant a full degree above normal at night.” The final few days of the month remained unsettled but a large ridge of high pressure from the south brought warmer temperatures. “As we get through June and into the month of July, we typically see pattern changes and high pressure becomes more influential, bringing warmer temperatures.” added Lakeman. Although the Canada Day didn’t see the predictions of all-time record shattering heat come to pass, 15 new heat records were set in communities across B.C. At 36.7 degrees, Merritt broke the oldest record of 35 degrees, set in 1924, but other longstanding records fell in Quesnel and Prince George, where the cities reached respective highs of 36.1 and 33.5 degrees, breaking records that have stood since 1942. Creston, Sparwood, Blue River, Clinton, Chetwynd, Dawson Creek, Pitt Meadows, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton and Powell River all ranged between 31.1 degrees in Powell River and 36.5 in Pemberton.

Campers, hikers not getting fire safety message
By Marvin Beatty Castlegar News
Officials from the Southeast Fire Centre are concerned that many campers and hikers are not getting the message or understanding the rules that should be followed with respect to campfire safety. Last weekend, there was a significant spike in instances of unattended or abandoned
pathway connections. The 8,000-square-foot recreational facility would be open to skateboarders, roller skaters, inline skaters, scooter riders and BMX bike riders. The planned site for the project is across from the Colombo Lodge in the Gulch. For more information, visit www. skatetrail.com
campfires but most resulted in verbal warnings according to Jordan Turner, fire information officer with the Wildfire Management Branch. “We had a quite a few fire wardens out this weekend [in the Southeast sector] and we did have the most unattended campfires found in the province,” said Turner. “There were a lot of issues
throughout the fire centre either with unattended or abandoned campfires. There are simple rules in place and they are very rarely followed.” Turner said those rules include having eight litres of water and a hand tool like a shovel on site, keeping it constantly attended and keeping it within a half metre by half metre.

Calgarians upset over denied insurance claims following flood THE CANADIAN PRESS CALGARY - Some homeowners are banding together in an attempt to name and shame insurance companies that have rejected their claims for sewer backup damage following recent floods. Residents of the Elbow Park neighbourhood in Calgary say some insurance companies are approving claims while others are not - despite similar policy wording. That just doesn’t make sense to Tom Carter, who is exhausted after spending the last week gutting his finished basement of contents that were ruined by two metres of smelly sewer water. “It is disappointing. I was sick to my stomach. You think you are covered and then you find out that you are not,” Carter said Tuesday after his claim was rejected by AMA Insurance. “The houses on either side of us are covered through other companies.” They wonder why an insurance adjuster from one company approves a claim for sewer backup
in one home, while another adjuster from another company says no in a house next door, blaming the sewer backup directly on flooding? Some people whose claims have been rejected have put up signs on their property chiding their insurance companies. Two that have been singled out for denying claims include AMA Insurance and RBC Insurance. Messages seeking comment from both companies were not returned. Joanne Aime, another Elbow Park resident, is upset with RBC Insurance for denying her claim. Aime said it is great that RBC has donated money to Alberta flood relief and that some company employees have volunteered to help during the crisis, but that isn’t what she needs from the company. “When we purchased our insurance from RBC, we trusted them as a company that would do the right thing in a situation such as this,” she said. “To get a blanket denial for our claim left us both surprised and deeply disappointed.”
Hospital with Denis and Tracy by her side. Annetta was born in Grimaldi, Province Cosenza, Italy on May 9, 1924.

Senate reform may mean abolishing it
A
t a recent community street fair in Vancouver I was encouraged to sign a petition calling for the abolition of the Canadian Senate. As a long-term advocate of Senate reform I can only applaud this initiative, for although abolition and reform are seen as competing options, the most likely path to reform runs through abolition. Let me explain. There is no question that recent Senate expense scandals have increased the public’s appetite for abolition by broadening and deepening an already pervasive cynicism about all things Senatorial. More importantly, the scandals have transformed discontent with the Senate status quo from a western issue into a truly pan-Canadian issue. As long as Senate reform was primarily a western Canadian crusade it lacked resonance in the rest of the country. Few were interested in giving even more power to wealthy and pugnacious western Canadians, par-
ticularly those living in Alberta. Now, however, the arguments for reform and especially abolition are infused with national moral outrage as the democratic sensibilities of Canadians across the country are engaged. The Senate has moved from bring irrelevant to being offensive. Also, abolition now has an articulate champion. The NDP, always advocates of abolishing an institution in which they lack any representation and which could frustrate an NDP government should one ever be elected, has understandably if opportunistically leapt to the head of the abolition parade. And, we are told, reform would be just too difficult. The premiers will never agree, and privately fear newly empowered Senators who would challenge their authority in speaking for their province. Thus the odds of obtaining the unanimous provincial consent required for substantial reforms, and which in
DR. ROGER
GIBBINS Troy Media
turn would require constitutional change, are extremely long. Moreover, the only existing reform model, the Triple E model first launched in the 1980s when western Canadians were seeking new routes of national influence, is showing its age. As the country’s demographic and economic centre drifts west, the equal representation of western provinces in a more effective Senate could undercut rather than reinforce the West’s new leverage. More fundamentally, a reform movement driven by alienated westerners makes no sense in today’s Canada, much less tomorrow’s Canada.
Hence the argument for abolition; let’s just get rid of this antiquated and embarrassing institution, let’s sweep the deck clean. However, although abolition may seem a simpler path to follow than reform, it is not. Abolition and reform face the same constitutional hurdle; either would require, with the exception of minor reforms, unanimous provincial content. Abolition would not allow us to bypass the difficulties and uncertainties of constitutional change. Moreover, I would argue that the necessary support for abolition from Canadians and their provincial governments could only be secured if other institutional methods are created to ensure regional representation and a democratic check on a House of Commons too frequently dominated by one party and one leader. The institutions and norms of Canadian parliamentary democracy already concentrate political power to an alarming degree, and it is hard to imagine that Canadians
would be enthusiastic about placing even more uncontested power in the hand of the Prime Minister. It would be, should be a very tough sell. In short, a successful drive for abolition requires that a newlydesigned Senate be waiting in the wings, ready to roll out when the old Senate disappears. Canadians should give serious consideration to abolition, but do so in the realization that abolition is not an alternative but rather a stepping stone to reform. The hard work of designing appropriate representative institutions for democracy in the 21st century still needs to be done. If the movement for abolition grows, Senate reformers should expect abolitionists to come knocking at their door. Hopefully the door will be thrown open enthusiastically.

LETTERS & OPINION
Sunsafe Tip:
Grateful for Canadian health care
I am a 56-year-old woman with many interests in life; among them is a passion for fitness and short course triathlon. Today I was at the gym practising side steps and had this exquisite moment where my life felt normal. My foot was bending and lifting just like it used to and it prompted me to write this letter. About 11 weeks ago I broke my leg and ankle while on vacation in Mexico. I am so grateful to live in a country where I can fly home and in less than 24 hours have surgery with no thought of how
much it will cost or if I can afford the care I would need. I am grateful for having a top notch surgeon and caring, patient nurses. I am grateful to have access to a highly skilled physiotherapist who made me pick up pencils with my toes, and got my heel unjammed so that today at the gym my foot moved like it should and I began to consider that I actually could get back running one day. I know there are many people out there dealing with circumstances far more severe than mine. My heart goes out
to people who are struggling in life and may never have it feel normal again. I’m writing this letter because I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation to our country and to taxpayers who believe that healthcare should be available to all who need it, to dedicated health professionals, and to family, friends, and colleagues all of whom, whether they know it or not, have made these circumstances a whole lot easier.

in 1992, when the puppet government that the Russians left behind when they pulled their troops out the country in 1989 collapsed. The various mujaheddin groups who had fought the Russians went to war with one another for control of the country, and that civil war has continued ever since. Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic country, and the conflict soon resolved into a struggle between the Taliban, the dominant organisation in the Pashtun-populated parts of the country, and the militias of the Northern Alliance, the various smaller ethnic groups in the north of Afghanistan. Since the Pashtuns are almost half the country’s population and had Pakistani support, the Taliban won control of multi-ethnic Kabul and become the country’s “government” in 1996. However, they never conquered the “Northern Alliance” that dominated the Tajik, Hazara and Uzbek provinces in the north. Then, after 9/11, the US invaded and made a de facto alliance with the warlords of the Northern Alliance. This tipped the balance in the war in the other direction, and it’s the northern warlords who have effectively run (or rather, looted) the country for the past decade. Once the US leaves, the balance of power between these two sides will be restored – and the civil war between them will continue on a more equal basis. This is not Vietnam, a homogeneous country with a strong national identity. It is a tribal country whose borders are entirely artificial. Decisive victory in Afghanistan is unattainable for any ethnic group.

Roller Girls rock Maulers By Jim Bailey
Times Sports Editor
The Cominco Arena has seen a lot of action over the years from world champion hockey teams, to dramatic fight nights, and rampaging bull-aramas, but Saturday was a night of firsts for the venerable Trail facility as it hosted its first ever roller derby match. And the home team Rossland Trail Roller Girls (RTRG) did not fail to impress a delirious crowd of over 600 as it rolled to a 218-145 win over the East Kootenay’s Mountain Town Maulers. “It was really awesome,” said RTRG spokesperson and blocker Lisa Findlay, whose roller derby handle is Sass. “I think it was the best game we’ve every played.” Despite a Canada Day long weekend saturated with sunny skies, the exhibition enjoyed a remarkable turn out. “There were 602 people, so we’re definitely pleased with that,” said Findlay. “We worked really hard at promoting this bout, and we really wanted to show Trail what roller derby was all about. I think in terms of that, it was a major success.” The crowd roared as RTRG took an early lead they would not relinquish,

Beaver Valley Karate ends year with awards

By Times Contributor The Beaver Valley Chito Ryu karate club held its year end awards on Thursday at the Fruitvale Hall. The young karate practitioners performed well at competitions throughout the year, taking home hardware at the regional and provincial level.

grinding out point-afterpoint with persistent blocking and explosive bursts from RTRG jammers. The visiting Maulers rallied and put up points in spurts, but could not catch RTRG. The East Kootenay team is fairly new to derby, however, it did bolster its roster with Creston recruits, and put on a very good show for the exuberant and colourful derby fans. “I think the Cranbrook team actually surprised us a little bit,” said Findlay. “They did really well.” The object of roller derby is to have your jammer, marked by a special helmet, try to get by the opposing teams blockers as many times as possible, counting points for each one passed. The blockers, as the name indicates, try to stop the opposing jammer from doing so, and also create openings for their own team’s jammer to score - in effect playing both offence and defence at once. “It’s crazy, it’s total mayhem. It’s like thinking about 500 million things at once, strategically, while people are trying to smash into you -it’s crazy. There’s one quote that talks about roller derby being like playing

Sensai Hutcheson also presented a special bonzai tree to Meagan Campsall, the student who best exemplified all the traits of Karate both in the Dojo and at competitions. Campsall recently won a silver medal in the team kata competition with Verigin and Tyson Nelson at the the Kelowna Friendship Karate tournament. “These two were recognized by their peers as the best this year and actually proved it both in and out of the Dojo,” said Hutcheson.

was third with a 20.15metre toss. Justin Rohde, an Americanborn competitor who competes for Canada and trains out of Kamloops, was fourth (19.92.) Armstrong used the event, one of his favourites because it offered him a chance to compete in his home province, as a warmup for this summer’s world track and field championships in Moscow. He began a busy week with a win a day before he heads to Switzerland for an event and then returns for a competition in Victoria. “I’m really happy with that result today, because I’ve been riding this wave for a month and a half now,” said Armstrong. “So it’s time to pull back and get some more work done and get ready for Moscow.” Armstrong is feeling much better physically and mentally than he was around this time last year. He has recovered from an elbow injury, through which he competed, and is feeling more relaxed now that the 2012 London Olympics, where he finished fifth, are over. “You’re carrying the country on your shoulders, especially when you’re an Olympic medallist hopeful,” said Armstrong, who placed fifth at the London Olympics.

Erik Bullanoff, 18, from Warfield took seventh place at the prestigious 41st Annual Seafest Olympic Weightlifting competition in White Rock last weekend. The J. L. Crowe grad only took up the sport in December at the University of Calgary, and continues to train at Nelson’s Power By You with coach Cody Abbey. It was the first competition for Bullanoff who competed in the men’s 85 kilogram class, and as the youngest in the division, lifted a total of 185 kg. with an 80 kg snatch, and a 105 kg. clean and jerk.
wimbledon Tennis
Lisicki breaks into semifinal
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON If Sabine Lisicki had a letdown after defeating Serena Williams, it didn’t show. If Lisicki is penciling herself into the Wimbledon final, she isn’t saying. Showing no dropoff after her dramatic victory over Williams, the 23rd-seeded Lisicki returned Tuesday and made quick work of a much less intimidating opponent, 46thranked Kaia Kanepi, dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes to advance to her second
career Wimbledon semifinal. “I was ready today,” Lisicki said. “I knew from the past, out of experience, that I needed to make the switch quickly to be ready, and that’s what I did.” Indeed. Lisicki opened the match by breaking Kanepi’s serve in the first game and didn’t look back in that set. In the second, she had one hiccup a game in which she double-faulted three times to drop a break and fall behind 2-1. She broke back right
away, however, and won four of the next five games to close out the match. Now, the 23-yearold German finds herself in the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in three years. Her win against Williams made her the new, odds-on favourite to win the title and even pushed Britain’s favourite tennis player, Andy Murray, off the back pages of a couple London tabloids. Her next opponent is No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska who defeated Li Na.

Dear Annie: After 56 years of marriage, our father passed away and left my mother alone for the first time in her life. Four years after Dad died, Mom suffered a bout of meningitis. While she has recovered completely, she is convinced that she is bedridden. I moved back home to take care of her because no one else would. My younger sister lives in the house with us, but does
Dear Tired: You are kind, compassionate and devoted. But you don’t need to wear yourself out for your mother. That does neither of you any good. Of course, your siblings should step up, but they are not going to do it, so handle this as if you were an only child. Your mother could benefit from day care programs, and you need respite care. Contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare. gov), AARP (aarp.org), the Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver.org) and the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) for information and help. Dear Annie: “Trouble in Hubbard” is the executor of her mother’s estate. She is concerned that one grandson has borrowed a great deal of money, and she wants to deduct that amount from his inheritance after Grandma dies. As an executor of an estate (or trustee
of a trust), “Trouble” has no choice but to divide and distribute Grandma’s will or trust the way it’s written upon her death. Since debts owed Grandma prior to her death are legitimate assets of the estate, this would require adjusting a
beneficiary’s share of distributions. To do otherwise opens the executor or trustee to lawsuits from the other beneficiaries. If it contributes to family strife, “Trouble” should resign in favor of appointing a bank or licensed trust company
as executor. -- Kailua, Hawaii Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net

her own thing. The problem is, four other siblings live in the same city, and three are retired. Yet no one helps look after Mom but me. Mom has a sharp tongue, but her memory is shot. Even when she is insulting, she doesn’t remember it. I drive nearly 100 miles a day to and from work. When I get home, I clean the kitchen and make sure Mom has a hot meal while watching TV. I am D.O.T.: disappointed, overwhelmed and tired. My spirit is broken; I don’t spend time with friends; I don’t talk on the phone; I don’t do anything. I worry that I will die of exhaustion and Mom will be alone. My mother, of course, has no sympathy for my situation. I am not the executor of her will or a beneficiary. But I would like to enjoy a few years before my life is over. -- Tired and Miserable

She is distant, and whenever we make plans, she makes an excuse at the very last minute to cancel on us. We’re frustrated. While I can sympathize with her terrible loss, I feel she needs to move on and start living again. She can’t hide in her room forever. Carol and I are not sure how to approach this. We want to be sensitive to Jane’s feelings but at the same time get her to realize that she has friends and family who love her and want to spend time with her.

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Thursday, July 4, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might daydream a lot today. This is a poor day for important decisions with siblings, relatives and neighbors because it’s hard to focus. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Avoid important financial decisions today because you are guided more by dreamy wishes than reality. Be especially careful about buying something luxurious. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’re in a dreamy state of mind today, which means illusions almost become more important than reality. However, you’re also sensitive and quite psychic today. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Today, subconscious influences are strong with you, which is why your views might be distorted. Because of this, postpone important decisions and be careful what

you say. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You might feel sympathetic to the needs of a friend today. You might even want to join efforts with others in a charitable way to help someone in need. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might confuse authority figures today, or vice versa, you might be confused by them. This is a poor day for people to express themselves clearly. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Your appreciation of beauty is heightened, which is why you will enjoy beautiful surroundings, architectural buildings, art galleries and museums. Treat yourself to something. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to make important decisions about inheritances, taxes, debt and how to handle shared property. You are seeing what
you want rather than what is truly the case. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Don’t let anyone trick you into taking a guilt trip today, which is possible. Someone might be confused and drag you into his or her world of unreality, especially if you want to lay blame. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Just continue with routine work on the job today
and avoid new ventures and important decisions. People are subtly confused today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This can be a creative day for you, especially if you work in the arts or if you are an artist. Your imagination is heightened and your ability to visualize is excellent. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be sympathetic to a family member
today, but be leery of crocodile tears. Make sure what you’re dealing with is real and not just someone’s personal drama. YOU BORN TODAY You’re interested in others and whatever they’re doing, which is why many of you are involved with groups. Personally, you aspire to leave your mark in the world. You are faithful to loved ones and value your family roots. You often work in isolation for long periods

Lake Koocanusa levels higher than expected
By Sally MacDonald Cranbrook Townsman
Koocanusa has reached 2,454 feet in elevation, just five feet below full pool, after the heavy rainfall of late June. Information released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last week said that Koocanusa saw very high inflows during the rainfall event. The reservoir that contains water from the Kootenay River and Elk River before it flows through Libby Dam, Montana, saw 94,000 cubic feet a second of water coming into it on Friday, June 21. By Thursday, June 27, it had dropped to 50,000 cubic feet a second coming in. That is still high: by comparison, on Friday, June 7, 36,000 cubic feet a second was coming in. To cope with the massive amount of water reaching the reservoir, engineers maxed out the amount of water going through Libby Dam to 25,000 cubic feet a second. Over the weekend of June 22 to 24, another 3,000 cubic feet a second was spilled over the top of the dam. “Discharge will continue at elevated levels until flows have dropped and we are able to pass inflow,” said the Army Corps’ Adam Price in an operations update. However, the huge amount of water going through Libby Dam is not causing problems
downstream, according to Price. “Kootenay Lake is seasonally low, and the stage at Bonners Ferry is expected to stay several feet below flood stage,” reads the update. Koocanusa was not expected to be as full as 2,454 feet this sum-
mer. In May, BC Hydro and the Army Corps said that the reservoir was forecast to reach 2,453 at the end of July, and stay at that level until September. The large volume of water flowing into the reservoir is bringing debris that could hamper recreational users
of Koocanusa. Diane Tammen, BC Hydro’s East Kootenay community relations manager, said that BC Hydro is taking steps to reduce the debris flowing into Koocanusa. “Due to the recent weather events and high water levels there is significant large
woody debris which has come down the Elk River. Each year BC Hydro
spends about $100,000 on debris removal in Koocanusa. “Since it’s early
in the season, we have this year’s funding available,” said Tammen.
