Two grizzlies seen on Rotary Drive Grizzlies seen in Rotary backyard and down path by Mark Creek C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
It appears that the two grizzlies that have been spotted on the ski hill and around the Lois Creek trails over the summer are making forays into town after dark. Lucy Dean, who lives on Rotary Drive says the two bears were in her backyard in the early hours of Tuesday morning. “They broke all three of my plum trees,” she said. “They were definitely grizzlies. We get bears all the time, but
these had the humps. There were two of them.” Dean says the bears were in her backyard twice — once a 3:10 a.m. and again at 4 a.m. She watched them cross Rotary Drive into the Aquatic Centre parking lot and then cross Archibald Street and disappear down the path along Mark Creek. She called the police, who said they would notify the Conservation Officer. She called the Bulletin so people can be notified there are grizzlies in town. “That’s too close for comfort,” she said. Residents are reminded to take extra care with securing their garbage and make sure to pick fruit trees and pick up all fruit that has fallen on the ground.
City wants province to take St. Mary Lake road

Kimberley will argue that majority of traffic does not stay within city limits C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
The City of Kimberley will make another attempt to convince the provincial government to reclaim responsibility for St. Mary Lake Road. Mayor Ron McRae told Council this week that he would have a meeting with the Minister of Transportation when he attends the
Union of British Columbia (UBCM) meeting later this month. At that time, he will once again make the argument that the road — responsibility for which was passed to Kimberley some 12 years ago — is in fact a provincial road. See ROAD, Page 3
