Mount Baker Secondary School’s Trashionistas took over the Tamarack Centre on Friday, April 25, for the presentation of the fourth annual Trashion Fashion Show. More than 100 students were involved in all capacities of this explosion of curbside couture, including designers and models. Most definitely the fashion and social event of the season. See Tuesday’s Daily Townsman for a special photo feature.
Tembec sells almost 50,000 hectares in East Kootenay to B.C. forestry company SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Tembec will sell 49,500 hectares of land in the East Kootenay to a Nanaimo-based timber harvesting company. In an announcement on Friday, April 25, Tembec said that the property, part of its land base in the region, will
be sold to Jemi Fibre Corp. for $35 million. The media release does not say where the land is located and a Tembec spokesperson could not be reached before the Townsman’s deadline. Jemi Fibre harvests timber under contract for owners of Crown
timber licences, providing logging equipment, labour and trucking equipment. It’s the same company that purchased a 1,875 hectare parcel of land from Tembec in the St. Mary Valley last September for $4.2 million.

Angling management plans up for review in East Kootenay Ten years after implementation of classified waters, Province seeks interested parties to form review committee BARRY COULTER
Ten years after its implementation, the classified waters system is up for review. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) is forming a committee to help shape fisheries policy in the East
Kootenay. The Province is forming angling review committee, to be comprised of local anglers, angling guides, sport fishery organizations, and other interested parties in the East Kootenay. Kevin Heidt, with FLNRO in
Cranbrook, said the existing angling management plans are now 10 years old, and the ministry is reviewing the performance of the plans, and soliciting ideas for ways they can be improved.
