There has been a changing of the guard at Nutter’s Bulk and Natural Foods, but customers may not notice a big difference as the previous and new owners have a similar philosophy to small business. Denise Pallesen, who has owned and run the franchise in Cranbrook for the past 17 years,

Out from the trout spout Fisheries’ stocking program begins in local lakes ARNE PE TRYSHEN Townsman Staff
On Tuesday afternoon, fish culturist Chad Fritz stood in water up to his waste in Jimsmith Lake holding a large diameter water pipe, live fish and water gushing out the end. The long pipe extended from the back of the Kootenay Fish Hatchery truck and the rainbow trout shooting into
the lake each measured about 25 centimetres. “These are just over a year,” Owen Schoenburger, assistant manager at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, said of the trout. “They are classified as spring catchable. They are about 15 months old.”
