In Cranbrook, high winds and snow took down trees causing power outages.
Cranbrook and Kimberley’s dry patch ended with a pounding on Monday, Dec. 2 as piles of snow blanketed the two cities. According to Environment Canada, the monitoring station at the airport reported 18 centimetres fell before 11 a.m. on Monday, and 15 centimetres of that accumulation fell between 5 a.m. and 11 a.m. In Kimberley, 30 centimetres was reported in
Chapman Chap and more than 35 centimetres at the ski hill and Townsite. The snowstorm caused multiple motor vehicle incidents around town, including a serious accident near Lumberton, south of Cranbrook. Sgt. Don Erichsen of East Kootenay Traffic Services said the accident occurred at about 8:30 a.m. on Monday. An eastbound passenger vehicle lost control on a corner, crossed the centre line and spun 180 degrees, into the path of a logging truck which collided with the vehicle. Only the female driver was injured. She was taken to East Kootenay Regional Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The accident was

Sully drill program proceeds One woman dead, two children C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Santa Fe Metals, which is conducting a drill program on mineral properties near Fort Steele, has announced that they have completed reviews of fieldwork from October and November. That work has led to the identification of two large scale, vertical and parallel sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) targets. Both the East and West targets are located within
the broad 4km by 3km Sully gravity anomaly that has been the focus of exploration drilling to date. What this means says, Santa Fe President Scott Broughton, is that the drill program will continue in the New year. “We have not drill tested either of the two targets; they have been identified by geophysical techniques and appear to be very large. Because of the magnitude of the geophysical response we

family’s minivan tumbling into the Elk River in southeastern British Columbia. Elk Valley RCMP say the crash occurred at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday, eight kilometres west of Fernie, as the family of five was travelling back to Alberta on Highway 3 in slushy conditions. The white Chevrolet minivan veered out of control on a straight stretch of highway and plunged upside down into the frigid water. A man and woman in a passing car managed to pull all five people from the van and other witnesses performed CPR on the
woman, but she could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the Fernie hospital. Two of the children are also severely injured and have been flown to Alberta Children’s Hospital for treatment, while the father, remaining child and the male rescuer were treated for hypothermia and other minor injuries. An investigation of the crash is underway but police say the minivan driver may have been attempting to pass another vehicle when he lost control in the slushy accumulation in the centre of the highway.
