Public zoning hearing resumes

Council hears from proponents of four-home development on St. Mary Lake road C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The zoning hearing regarding a potential fourhome housing development on a 23 acre lot on St. Mary Lake Road resumed on Monday evening at City Council.

The hearing had been halted so that the City could properly notify surrounding residents with signage.

At the of the hearing, Council heard from St. Mary Lake road residents in opposition to the development.

Monday’s hearing began with presentations from those who support it.

Speaking first was Gord Jenkins from the Kimberley Golf Club, who outlined the reasons that the club wished to sell the parcel of land.

Simply put, Jenkins said, the golf business has been in tough times for the past five years and the money from the sale was needed for replacement of aging equipment.

“We’re cautiously optimistic, we’ve made a lot of changes, but revenues have stayed the same since 2009 and expenses have risen,” Jenkins said.

The club needs cash, he said, and had no use for the land.

Third quarter policing report C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

CHRIS NEWEL PHOTO

On Thursday Nov 6, the Selkirk Senior Secondary band and choir performed at McKim Theatre. Sven Heyde, music director made particular mention of his search for an anvil in order to produce just the right sound in the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song. Emma Macleod took great pleasure in striking the anvil with a mallet to achieve the effect. Both the band and choir have over 30 students that practice alternate mornings at 7:30 a.m. Their dedication and commitment to the program was very evident during the show.

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel delivered the third quarter policing report to Council this week, and also took the opportunity to introduce Kimberley new detachment commander, Sgt. Robinson.

Sgt. Robinson comes back to Kimberley — he lived in Marysville 19 years ago — after spending those 19 years serving in BC, Alberta and the Yukon.

“I am glad to be here,” he said.

The 2014/15 Annual Performance Plan has four initiatives. Those are road safety, crime reduction, family violence and organized crime.

On road safety, officers had 183 traffic contacts and 11 impaired drivers were taken off the road in the third quarter, Newel said. He also mentioned the dedicated service of Speedwatch volunteers, which he said were very effective.

Loverboy, Sweeney Todd coming for Classic Rock weekend For the Townsman

Western Financial Place in Cranbrook will be hosting a Classsic Rock Music weekend on Saturday, Feb. 28, featuring one of Canada’s most iconic rock bands — Loverboy.

With their trademark red leather pants, bandannas, big rock sound, and high-energy live shows Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including the four million-selling, Get Lucky, and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983s, Keep it Up, and 1985s, Lovin’ Every Minute of It. Their incredible string of hits includes, in addition to the anthem, “Working for the Weekend”, “Every Minute of It”, “This Could be the Night”, “Hot Girls in Love”, “Heaven In Your Eyes”, “When It’s Over”, “Queen of the Broken Hearts”, “Almost Paradise”, and of course one of the greatest rock an-

thems of all time “Turn Me Loose”.

Loverboy went on to win a still-record six Juno awards in 1982, and until a three year sabbatical in 1989, were one of the top five grossing touring acts in the world, performing in over 100 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Their success made them the first Canadian group ever to earn Columbia Records’ exclusive Crystal Glove Award, celebrating the sale of over five million albums outside their native country. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in March of 2009 at GM Place in Vancouver, where they joined the likes of Neil Young, David Foster, Leonard Cohen, and Bryan Adams.

Loverboy consists of original members, vocalist Mike Reno, guitarist Paul Dean, Doug Johnson on keyboards, and Matt Frenette on drums.

Ken Sinnaeve has replaced the late Scott Smith on bass.

The band continues a healthy touring schedule around the world and will make Cranbrook one of their stops on Feb. 28 at Western Financial Place.

The opening act for the night of Classic Rock will be none other than Nick Guilder and Sweeney Todd. Earning multi-Juno and No. 1 platinum status, the band’s songs continue to enjoy considerable radio play, with their rock classics, including “Roxy Roller”, ‘’Hot Child in the City” and “Here Comes the Night”.

Having toured with The Cars, Cheap Trick, Peter Gabriel, Foreigner, Styx, Journey, New York Dolls, and Chuck Berry, Guilder and the band deliver a memorable powerhouse performance each and every night.

Chris New, Leisure Services Director at WFP, said, “We have been looking to do an event such as this for quite some time now, and it just made sense

Public zoning hearing resumed years.”

Council then heard from the proponents who want to build on the land, Kimberley residents Grant Sharam and Steve Brine.

“Steve and I are not developers, we’re locals,” Sharam said. “I want to build a house there.”

They have been working on the proposal for over a year, Sharam said, and were comfortable with the geotechnical work, the perk tests for septic, fire hydrants, hydro and the one driveway off the main road. Where they hung up, he said, was the sewer.

“It’s the most complex and expensive option, to hook up to city sewer.”

Brine added that they had

spoken to experts about septic fields, who were comfortable that they would work well on the sites.

Council also heard from St. Mary Lake Road resident Cheryl Olsen again about concerns around animal corridors.

The decision on the zoning change was not made Monday evening, though Council did give the bylaw second and third reading. A staff report will come to Council next meeting, the last meeting of this particular Council, as the election is on Saturday and new Mayor and Council will be sworn in in early December. At that time, the bylaw will either be adopted or defeated.

From Page 1 Jenkins also addressed the opposition to the development, saying that the overall property was large with only four houses proposed. Wildlife, which was a concern expressed, uses the gullies, which are not useful for building sites, he said.

As for the concern around the use of septic systems rather than tying into city sewer, Jenkins said that with a large subdivision it might be economically feasible but with such a small development, it was not.

“Right now, this land sale will help us (the golf club) immensely,” Jenkins said. “No one knows where the industry will be in five

HOGLUND, Albert 3Experience 3Strong Voice 3Willing to Listen hagar2@shaw.ca

Paid for by the committee to elect Albert Hoglund.

Darren Close, for City Council. Ensuring Kimberley is focused on Kimberley I want to again thank everyone for taking part in the Council Forum. I’d also like to expand on the questions asked and ensure those who did not attend have some insight as well…so here are the questions asked, and my unabbreviated responses.

1. Infrastructure such as roads, sewer and water upgrades or replacement, is a big issue in many municipalities. How do you propose to keep up or catch up with infrastructure demands in Kimberley?

•

We have all heard plenty about the necessary upgrading and increasing demands on infrastructure.

There has been a 100 flat tax levied and we have also seen an increase in utility costs to property owners.

This will keep us catching up, but only partially. There is a lot of work on the go already, and we can all see it. Moving forward, let’s be certain to have a plan to get us out of this hole. We know we need more and we will find a way, but planning for future expenses needs to happen today, not in 30 years when replacement is necessary again. For now, we continue to tighten up, perhaps finding money in the budget that can be utilized or sourcing grant dollars to assist in baring costs. In the future, this is about reserve funding, and I’ll touch on that in a later question.

2. Many City Politicians have stated their goal is to bring more light industry or other significant employers to the City. What specifically would you do to bring more employment to Kimberley and how is this different from what has been done before?

•

This is an all too familiar and age old question. Sourcing the right fit for Kimberley is vital, and continuing to explore every option is essential. What, or who is it specifically? No one has that answer, however I look around Kimberley and what I see is we do have an industry that is vibrant and healthy…..SMALL BUSINESS! Moving forward, I will optimistically continue to seek an “anchor tenant” if you will for industry or employment, not at all forgetting about or losing any focus on what we have already. Whatever it is, it has to fit Kimberley, not just make the city money. We have some space, we have many great small businesses, and before investing a ton of dollars in developing new sights for new industries, let us maximize the use of what we have.

3. How do you propose to support the Arts & Culture scene in Kimberley?

•

Arts and Culture in our City is a major asset. I support the grant money given to the Arts. I will make no promise of increasing dollars, but I will openly advocate and engage the community in promotion and support with every available resource. Just as every asset the city has, we cannot reduce the value it carries, and at the very least we must maintain it.

4. Can you explain the reserve fund, how it is used and how you think it should be used?

•

From what I understand about the reserve fund, is it is currently a simple rainy day slush fund, utilized for whatever may need to be done. I work daily with corporations and reserve funds. What I would like to see is that the City reserve be progressive, not reactive. In my field, our reserve funds are targeted, which means the corporations I manage have an inventory of all depreciating assets. Each asset has an expected life and projected cost over a 35 year period with the goal in mind of not having to make “cash calls”(or tax hikes) to the owners(or citizens). This just makes sense, and should be common sense, and in fact for these corporations it is actually government legislation!

5. If a capital project is approved, for example the Flume and Aquatic Center, how will you ensure costs will stay on budget?

•

This is simple, it is about PROJECT MANAGEMENT! There is or should be a lead on any project and a watchful eye is fundamental. Accountability. I firmly believe and understand the difference between quotes and tenders, and it appears the city simply gets a quote. A tender is a binding contract that simply measures binding deliverables by the parties involved. For example, the city puts out a call for tender on the rock work for the Flume, and collects perhaps even just one bid. That bid then becomes a contract and that contractor is legally obligated to uphold their end. If the contractor says the job will be done at X dollars, it is done at X dollars! If a contractor makes an error on their end, it’s their responsibility. The City should have contracts, not estimates for capital projects.

6. If Successful in your bid for Councilor, you are representing the interest and wishes of the citizens of Kimberley. How will you communicate with the citizens to ensure that you are representing those interests?

•

This is just another day at the office for me. Essentially, the citizens are my clients. In my field of work constant communication with clients is my livelihood. Phone, text, email is all public information. For specific interests, on a one to one level and for individual requests or conversations, I will make time for face to face. Basically, the citizens of Kimberley become my livelihood to the community. If I tell you I’m going to do something, I’ll do it.

Being responsible is: •

A fundamental financial obligation. I do not believe in spending it before we have it in the budget or the bank.

•

Being available to the community and being accountable for what is spent and what is said.

•

Service reviews, open discussion, fact based decisions that are clear, concise and supported.

I am an active and very willing participant in the community. I will be the young gun with the least city council experience, however my 40+ years have provided me a great deal of positive experiences including a desire to not just remain involved, also to grow with an be part of evolving. My goal is to look back each year and recognize the challenges overcome and the measured successes for all of us to share, and say, yes, Kimberley is a good place to be.

spotlight on youth engagement

Sharing the circle of courage Submit ted by Theresa Bartr aw Regional Youth Substance Use Education Coordinator with East Kootenay Addictions Services Society

At the YES! Project launch some 30 participants shared their visions for youth engagement in Kimberley - enhancing youth inclusion and contribution, safe spaces, strengthening intergenerational connections, youth leadership, and feelings of pride, fun and excitement.

These visions relate closely to how East Kootenay Addiction Services Society (EKASS) thinks about substance use prevention and education. EKASS believes youth are at their best when connected to school, family and community. We also believe that listening and talking are important for helping youth stay healthy and connected in positive ways.

The “Courage to Connect” is central to our work at EKASS and is based on a model called the Circle of

Courage®. Developed by Dr. Martin Brokenleg, the Circle of Courage® draws on the cultural wisdom of First Nations, which recognizes that resilience and emotional health of youth is connected to their sense of belonging, mastery, independence and generosity.

When programs and communities are designed around these four universal needs they help children and youth make healthier choices. Here’s how these needs are described and how they relate to the YES! Project: Belonging: Anthropologist Ella Deloria, describes the core value of belonging: “Be related, somehow, to everyone you know.”

The Kimberley YES! Project is building opportunities for community dialogue, new connections and collaboration – processes that create belonging.

Mastery: Children in traditional cultures were taught to carefully observe and listen to those with more experience.

A person with greater ability was seen as a model for learning, not as a rival. Mastery involves com-

petence in many areas: cognitive, physical, social, and spiritual. Positive youth engagement supports these qualities.

Independence: Instead of demanding obedience, traditional teachings were designed to build respect and teach inner discipline. From earliest childhood, children were encouraged to make decisions, solve problems, and show personal responsibility.

These approaches are central to enhancing youth engagement in Kimberley.

Generosity: A central goal of traditional child rearing is teaching the importance of generosity and unselfishness. In the words of a Lakota Elder, “You should be able to give away your most cherished possession without your heart beating faster.” The YES! Project will highlight opportunities for youth to help others and make a positive contribution to community life.

If these universal needs resonate with you, engage with the Kimberley YES! Project; it’s helping to strengthen the Circle of Courage in Kimberley.

Candidates answer questions from Wildsight To help inform voters for the municipal election, Wildsight asked the local candidates: Kimberley’s SunMine will soon be producing renewable energy. To move further towards sustainability, what can the City of Kimberley do to conserve energy?

Candidates for Mayor Doug Johnson

“KISS! Keep it simple stupid.” Solar farms, sun mines, and wind mills are great. But, a time honoured and time proven energy conservation method is having every citizen shut off the lights, lower the thermostat, recycle and reuse. City councils right across Canada should get some guts and challenge taxpayers “rights” to produce five bags of garbage a week from a single household. A simple strict program of recycling and composting can save money for every citizen in Kimberley.

Any idiot benefits financially and morally just from participating in a conservation program.

(I am living proof of that statement.) Have we forgotten our history?

Kimberley kids scoured alleys and back woods for metal cans and rubber tires in the 1940s and presented them to Mr. Blaine at the Orpheum Theatre to gain free admission to the Saturday matinees. Garbage could be a future asset rather than a taxpayer’s liability.

Don McCormick

Conserving energy without spending money we don’t have right now starts by changing behaviours.

We can enforce noidling zones and implement idling policies for city vehicles, and we can encourage residents to reduce water consumption and electricity usage. But to become really effective at energy conservation, we need a benchmark for city facilities that tells us how much energy we are consuming today. Then we can consider new technologies and energy-efficient approaches to our operations. We can also foster more programs such as the EK Energy Diet, which provides rebates to evaluate home energy usage and implement home improvement retrofits;

and the provincial Wood Stove Exchange Program, which helps people replace their older, inefficient wood stoves for low-emission appliances that include clean-burning wood stoves. Through programs such as these our community conserves energy, money is saved and we have better air quality.

Ron McRae

Energy conservation should be at the forefront of our planning process. The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan provides for an excellent roadmap so to speak with respect to measures that can be taken by the community as whole to conserve energy. Some of those measures/steps/strategies have been undertaken but there are many more that require a commitment on the part of the City and the community to implement. The City does have a number of programs in place that encourage energy conservation but I feel we need to do a better job of communicating what those programs are and how people can access them. One program in place is the Energy Efficient Building Incentive Program, a program that encourages energy efficient new construction and renovations to existing buildings in Kimberley. Another program is the East Kootenay Energy Diet, partnership program with the RDEK.

Candidates for Council Brent Bush

When the Sun Mine becomes operational, the City of Kimberley will lead the province as the community most committed to renewable energy. In addition to expanding the output of the Sun Mine itself,

the City of Kimberley should continue its existing program of energy conservation. The City is lighting some pathway/park space with solar powered lighting this should be expanded where practical. Within the Operations vehicle fleet, older less fuel efficient vehicles are being replaced with more efficient ones. When it comes time to replace the Pollution Control Centre the City should choose to build and operate the most energy efficient one possible.

Perhaps it could be powered with solar electricity generated from an expanded Sun Mine (anything produced over and above our current contract obligations).

Darren Close

Energy conservation is something that all areas could use improvement. One idea I like that has been brought up is garbage service. The concept of neighborhood bins would reduce the trucks touring all over, reduce fuel consumption and exhaust out put into the air. It makes sense.

Kent Goodwin

The City’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan makes commitments to energy and resource conservation which help shape our corporate programs and projects. Staff are continually looking for opportunities to save energy (and money) when changes are made to buildings and equipment. This could be as simple as replacing T12 fluorescent lights with more efficient T8’s, installing variable speed drives on air handling units or (during the recent facade renovation of City Hall) installing new more energy conserving windows. It means replacing old vehicles with more fuel ef-

ficient new ones, and joining the Kootenay Car Share and using a shared vehicle for some of our staff travel rather than buying a new one.

We can also help conserve energy in the broader community by supporting the East Kootenay Energy Diet and by establishing a Climate Action Reserve Fund which we will use to stimulate energy conservation by residents and businesses.

Albert Hoglund

I feel the city has been very conscious of saving energy. They have done energy audits on all their facilities and made many changes as per the recommendations in the reports.

They have made available rebates to home owners who want to install solar hot water tanks in their homes. I would also look at installing LED lights where ever possible.

The city also installed solar lights on the peak to platzl trail.

Nigel Kitto

The concerns over our city’s water use and aged infrastructure also brings opportunities for conservation, both of water and energy. Infrastructure replacements will improve efficiency; simply by not needing to treat and pump as much water, less electricity will be used. Improved reliability of the water system after upgrades are completed, will lead to less breakages, saving fuel and other resources used during repairs. There are many more savings to be made through improved infrastructure, and in partnership with our residents and community groups, to seek more conservation measures throughout our city.

Bev Middlebrook

The City of Kimberley could use solar light-

Policing report FROM Page 1 As for crime reduction, Newel said officers continue to be a visible presence at local events such as Dynamiter games. Officers also try to be visible in the Platzl as often as possible. Prolific offenders continue to be monitored. These persons, under court ordered conditions, number six at present, though one has fled the area and is wanted.

Newel says the drug team is pick-

ing up again after a period of relative inactivity after the transfer of Cpl. Preston. A new Kimberley member joined the Cranbrook investigators on November 1 and Newel says there will be more to report on the drug front in the next report to Council.

Members will be doing presentations on family violence at McKim over the next few months.

ing in all their street lights; promote, educate and lead by example.

Update our community that it doesn’t take much to make a difference; all fridges are turn lower, old beer, energy drinking, fridge’s are dumped, energy efficient windows and doors, cooling system, dishwashers and other appliances, plant shading trees, water heater jackets, or even promoting hot water on command units used in Europe, create home owner solar panel programs, take transit, bikes and vehicles that get good mileage, compost, recycle and rethink our ways. With our new adventure in Solar Mining, let’s take one step more; let’s form the City of Kimberley and our community to be the leaders in energy conservation. One month at a time, each month could promote an energy efficient step. At the end of the 12 months, positive energy efficient habits could be formed

and repeated.

Darryl Oakley

Kimberleys sunmine might soon be producing energy from solar panels, but the project does not help Kimberley (per say) become more sustainable, as the electricity being produced goes into the BC Hydro Grid and does not come directly to the community of Kimberley.

Therefore I do not agree with the statement To move further towards sustainability.... Actually I feel the Sunmine project takes us away from becoming more sustainable. Taxpayers of Kimberley put 2 million tax

dollars into the Sunmine. I wonder what other community sustainability benefits could have resulted from using the same 2 million for energy retrofits of our older city owned buildings and/or renewal of other cityowned infrastructure (such as water mains) in order to avoid wasting our natural resources (such as water) and conserving energy, thus saving tax dollars and making our community more sustainable?

Sandra Roberts did not respond to this question.

Search for the old dancin’ shoes ”I could have danced all night.”

“My Fair Lady,” by Lerner and Loewe

A

few weeks ago, whilst shopping, my day was brightened by a lovely lady who deigned to dance with me. It was a tango-ish sort of shuffle but we definitely danced.

Cautiously, I had approached the deli section hoping to find there something that actually tasted of something. The woman — my future Ginger Rogers — was at the counter but, as I approached, she stepped back into me apologizing for her clumsiness, as did I. We tried to manoeuvre around each other but failed and so I, being a perfect gentleman born and bred, asked her if she’d care to dance, and she did.

Now, I can’t remember the lady’s face nor, probably, can she recall the debonair Fred Astaire who guided her so skilfully, but that encounter was delightful. As Liza Doolittle sang in ‘My Fair Lady’’, I could’ve danced all night. I just love people who have a sense of humour, a social necessity in my deteriorating times, but I just hope that I didn’t tread on her toes because, these days, I often seem to be wearing boots.

The other day I was turning out my foot-

wear, the stuff that helps clutter up my basement. There was quite an accumulation, mainly boots. Let me see: downhill ski boots, mountaineering ski boots, cross-country ski boots, three different pairs of hiking boots, work boots, cold weather felt-lined boots and rubber (Wellington) boots. It was quite an impressive array, as I took stock, but one thing bothered me. I could not find any shoes, not leather soled shoes, some that I might have Peter danced in some years ago.

Warland This led to a frantic search which turned up broken down sandals and one pair of running shoes, i.e. sneakers because I was never much of a runner. Incidentally, the moccasins that I uncovered were ready to be dumped, so I did.

When I was a callow youth, learning to dance was a social necessity. That was the way that spotty lads got to meet and actually touch those sweet-smelling things called girls.

I learned to dance, first the waltz, embarrassed all to hell, from my mother and thence to quick-steps, fox-trots, rhumbas and what-have-you, then how to jive to the fantastic swing music of those days. Every little band was emulating the greats like Tommy Dorsey, Glen Miller and Ted Heath.

I was often at a dance hall several times a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

week and met lots of interesting girls.

Of course, I didn’t marry one of those young ladies but I did make the right choice. In fact I taught the lovely lady who married me how to dance, and she learned in spite of my clumsy efforts.

If you have any faith in genetics, you might be led to believe that I inherited my fondness for dance from my father, a tap-dancer, who thought that Fred Astaire was the ultimate ‘hoofer’ of his era. But this is not so. I damaged my ankle permanently when I was very young. Ergo, to my father’s dismay, I couldn’t tap; but I could prance about vaguely in time with whatever music was playing, and I just loved those moments.

Finally, after an exhaustive search in the depths of my basement, I disinterred that one pair of brown leather shoes with leather soles and rubber heels. They were in a sorry mess, scuffed and broken down at heel, but, unlike those moccasins, I was unable to dump them into the garbage; I almost bronzed them and hung them on the wall; they brought back so memories of those dances at The Bluebird Inn with The Sound of the Forties playing, those happy evenings in The Columbo Lodge where I pranced around with my lovely wife – and several other lovely ladies — those who risked their dainty toes — in my arms. Back then, I could have danced all night. Well, almost!

Taxes, tax rates

Letters to the Editor

The letter writer (“About Cranbrook Taxes,” Nov 10) confuses taxes with tax rates.

The assessed value of your home is determined annually by the BC Assessment Authority. Your property tax notice includes this figure.

To calculate your municipal tax, the city multiplies your assessed property value by the municipal tax rate. The same goes for school taxes, hospital tax, etc.

Property values vary wildly from town to town, so tax rates alone do not reveal how much tax people pay. And you don’t pay a tax rate, you pay a tax, so ratepayers should compare their tax bill, not their tax rate.

Fortunately, just such a comparison of tax bills is available from the BC Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development on its “Local Government Statistics” page. Interested readers can download Schedule 704, “Taxes and Charges on a Representative House.” These ministry statistics place Cranbrook in the middle of the pack for residential municipal taxes for the nine municipalities cited by the letter writer, and ninth lowest of 24 municipalities in the 10,000 to 25,000 population range. The reason is simple. The representative house in Cranbrook, at $249,014, is the seventh cheapest house by assessed value of these 24 municipalities.

Fire Hall facts

The Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC) has been working for several years with the City to redevelop the historic fire hall. Some have said that the City intends to give $500,000 to the CDAC for this purpose. This is untrue and grossly misleading. The City has no intention of giving or lending development money to the CDAC. The City Council has put an item into their Five-year Plan to redevelop one of their buildings .

They can’t leave it to deteriorate and it is not marketable, as is.

Tearing it down to make a parking lot is 1950’s thinking. The cheapest and most practical option for the city is to spend some money making repairs and have the CDAC raise additional funds through federal grants to develop it as an art gallery. With this goal in mind the Council has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the CDAC. The Arts Council has applied for and received a sizeable grant through the Columbia Basin Trust for an engineering study to establish if the building is sound and to identify needed repairs for use as a public space. The city was spared this expense. Further, the CDAC will apply for large federal and provincial heritage grants for this project. Both Nelson and Fernie have tapped these funds and so can Cranbrook.

Local firms will benefit through the influx of major grants for engineers, architects and builders in completing the project. Downtown businesses will benefit from added traffic coming in to an art gallery in the middle of town.

Cranbrook is a mature community. It is time to discard 1950’s thinking and to look forward to the economic benefits that arts, culture and heritage will bring to our city.

For more facts about the project call me at 426-3399.

Bill McColl CDAC Building Committee Chairman.

Infrastructure, taxation

During Cranbrook’s municipal electoral campaign period, much has been said about the need for more spending on infrastructure, particularly roads. The most critical commentators have also been critical of city tax rates. This is evidence of the ability to hold two contradictory ideas simultaneously.

Limited taxation power combines with off-loading from other governments to put more demands on fewer municipal dollars. In January, 2013,the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) published a report showing that the federal government has off-loaded responsibilities to the provinces, which in turn off-loaded responsibility for infrastructure and for program delivery to municipalities – without providing the necessary funds. Off-loading (or devolution) is a real problem for municipalities and First Nation communities.

In BC, the Columbia Institute found that “83.6 per cent of the locally elected leaders surveyed ... said federal and provincial downloading of costs onto local governments is a major problem for their community”. In the 1990s the federal government cut billions of dollars in transfer payments to provinces, which passed the problems on to municipalities with devastating effect.

On Dec. 27, 2013, Calgary’s mayor Naheed Nenshi summed it up: “Legally, and constitutionally, cities have no framework … Right now, the legislation that governs the city of Calgary — which is larger than five provinces — is exactly the same as the legislation that governs a summer town of 100 people”.

And despite the interprovincial differences, municipalities

across the country find themselves in the same leaky boat as Calgary.

Nenshi called for an honest discussion about taxes. “Politicians need to stop being scared of that [tax] conversation and really open it up to people saying: ‘The services you need cost’ ... we have to be realistic.”

It looks like some Cranbrook mayoral and council candidates, along with citizens, need to get realistic too.

Kimberley development plan

I wish to respond to the article in the Bulletin October 27, 2014 McRae responds to economic development plan.

After three years of the McRae leadership??.. How can we allow things to get worse? How can Mayor McRae make these statements with a straight face? I sit in disbelieve reading all the spin in this article. There are as many empty buildings in the Platzl today as there were in January 2012 and McRae calls that progress?

McRae states and I quote; “A strategy is a plan.” Well I disagree with that claim because a strategy is usually a measurable statement of fact, nothing more and nothing less. Back in 2012 most proactive Mayor’s would have guided his/her new Council on developing a strategy statement which may have stated; Build a sustainable Community that attracts $300 million of private investment and 300 more residents by 2018 to pay the $170,000 wage increase for union employees effective March 1, 2015 and all other increases in wages. City management or a committee would then be tasked with the responsibility to develop a plan including goals, objectives and tactics required to satisfy the strategy statement.

McRae states and I quote; “I believe that Economic Development is actually Community Development.” I again disagree with your belief because Economic Development and Community Development are two separate and distinct topics.

Economic Development is the creation of family wage jobs and a net gain of money flow, called an economic base/ GDP, into the community. New money and jobs usually come from new industries, housing starts and small business. Community development on the other hand is a very broad subject and includes everything from improving the appeal of a neighbourhood, community accessibility and the list goes on and on.

One thing I do know is the City cannot continue spending millions of dollars on their pet beautification projects without a substantial increase in economic activity and I’m not talking millions, I’m talking in the range of $2 billion over the next 10 to 15 years. Combining Economic Development and Community Development will accomplish nothing more than create confusion and the right hand will never know what the left hand is doing.

McRae states, “Perhaps it’s why many call this the silly season” and you know by golly I agree with that statement. Everything is a game of chicken. It’s all about who’s going to move first. And the person who moves first is always the person who knows he can’t win. In my opinion you made the first move Ronnie so keep up the good work of attacking McCormick’s economic plan and credibility because it only serves to demonstrate you have nothing better to offer.

Greg McCormick Kimberley

Good place to be working

Another election and again we are told that our competitive advantage is lifestyle. Our value proposition should differentiate us from all the other four season destinations within a 4 hr drive. It’s time to stop drinking the “lifestyle kool-aid”. Our future should not be based on “dirtbags” buying cheap houses (no new tax revenue there) and cheap lifestyle (compare the cost to ski or golf). The unofficial brandline – “Kimberley, because it’s cheap”. Cheap housing and lifestyle make not for an economic development strategy.

What a nefarious sales job for folks moving to Town, sold on the dream of lifestyle only to spend sleepless nights lamenting how they will pay their bills in the absence of a job. What of our seniors on fixed incomes, is it fair to expect them to finance new infrastructure or the new Town excavators? What of the self- sustained amenity migrants who moved to Kimberley for retirement or just shift gears to get out of the rat race? Are we enabling new entrepreneurs or attracting investors? Sadly no.

Ask local businesses how much Council/Administration influenced their decision to start a business in Town or have supported that business to date. It takes more than issuing a business license to take credit for new investment.

As a former dirtbag and past president of the Chamber I have witnessed the frailty of our tourism based economy. Everyone knows someone who left work in Fort McMurray or the Elk Valley. Who could afford to ski or golf, have a pint, dine out,

Thursday, November 13, 2014

or shop locally when they can hardly afford to pay the bills.

Local business and a dedicated few have tried to turn the economic tides of Kimberley, yet unemployment remains higher than the national average, taxes continue to increase, there are no incentive programs to attract new business, and local businesses are left to their own devices.

Nothing, absolutely nothing shreds the social fabric of a community more than economic hardship. How rewarding to hold a decent job, provide for your family and support your local economy.

Election rhetoric spewing the vestiges of lifestyle over jobs is dishonest and a recipe for collapse.

The solution: new businesses to build in Kimberley, employ a modest workforce at a decent wage. That’s an assessed value and that’s the revenue side of a municipality. It also triggers residential activity and discretionary spending. And yes, you can bank on these workers to enjoy the lifestyle too.

Response to Jensen

Ah, Alex. Norma Blissett hasn’t been elected a councillor yet as your Nov. 10 letter alleges, but I’m sure she would make a fine councillor and thanks for doing your best to promote her.

As for me, a self-proclaimed independent running for re-election, I’ve never belonged to a political party which is why I call myself an “independent.” Mind you, I’ve volunteered for political parties, the last one being the Reform Party that gave birth to the federal conservatives, about as far from “tax and spend” as you can get. As for the slate bogeyman, the closest thing I’ve seen to a municipal slate in Cranbrook was the last election when four former Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce presidents ran and lost. This year, the chamber wisely decided to live up to its non-partisan mandate and declined to get directly involved in the election. I commend them for that which is more than I can say Alex for your attempts to sling mud in the current campaign.

Councillor Gerry Warner Cranbrook

On group recommendations

During an election when you are a candidate for Mayor you are asked by many organizations to meet with them or to fill out surveys so that they can advise their members who that group thinks is the best person for the job. This includes business organizations, arts and culture groups, environmental groups and unions. That is standard practice.

As a candidate you do not know if, or how, those organizations will support you, and you certainly don’t know whom else that group might endorse. I have not seen CUPE’s endorsement information.

I appreciate all the support that is being directed my way based on what I want to accomplish for Cranbrook working together with you. I agree with Mr. Jensen when he advises against being told who to vote for, including groups like retired mayors trying to tell you who to vote for to regain influence at city hall. They should just come in and see me – it would be nice to visit with them!

Don’t you just love election time….!

Mayor Wayne Stetski Cranbrook

Jumbo municipality

On November 15, the citizens of BC will elect representatives to make local decisions and spend taxes on their behalf.

In all municipalities, that is, except for one: Jumbo Glacier Resort Municipality (JGRM), near Invermere.

JGRM and its appointed mayor and two counsellors cost taxpayers over $200,000 per year, but has no residents or infrastructure. Its single purpose is to enable a private development.

JGRM was created in 2012 after the BC government amended the Local Government Act to make it possible to incorporate resort municipalities in areas without people, since (unlike the BC Liberals) the majority of members of the East Kootenay Regional District did not support the project.

In one fell swoop local representative democracy was eliminated. Putting aside the wisdom of using taxpayers’ money to subsidize select private companies, destroying wilderness for the sake of low-paying jobs and recreation for the rich, building a ski resort in a region where many languish half-empty and glaciers are shrinking, what does it say about the value of local democracy when the B.C. government can simply create a new town when it disagrees with decisions made at the municipal level? JGRM is an affront to our democratic traditions.

Keep calm & carry on Avalanche aim to get on track against VIU Mariners Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

After a collective sweep at the hands of the Camosun College Chargers last weekend, both College of the Rockies Avalanche volleyball teams look to turn things around this weekend when the Vancouver Island University Mariners visit Cranbrook.

The Avs (1-5) face a tall task if they’re to take down the Mariners (5-1), ranked second in PACWEST play heading into the weekend.

“If we can serve tough against this team, we’ll be very successful,” said Avs coach Steve Kamps prior to practice Wednesday.

The service line proved the downfall for the Avs this past weekend, as the Chargers edged the hosts 3-2 Friday, Nov. 7, before sweeping Saturday’s contest 3-0.

“Everybody’s got to figure out individually where they’re at,” Kamps said. “If we’re asking them to hit targets and they’re not comfortable with that, I’d rather them serve, for now, a ball into the court where they’re comfortable with it. At least it gives us a chance to score rather than, in their mind, not feeling

like they can hit a certain area. Then, sure enough, they go back and miss that serve.

“Hopefully it’s one of those things, if you get on a confident roll, you can be successful.”

The Avs are guided by libero Mitch Parnham, who was named Avalanche Athlete of the Week with 17 digs against Camosun. The offense is powered by outside hitter Curtis Stockton, who leads PACWEST with 90 kills through 25 sets.

As for the Lady Avs (2-4), they look to climb back to the .500-mark this weekend against a Mariners team (1-5) that is better than its record might indicate.

“They have always been one of the top teams in the league,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin after practice Wednesday night. “This year, they have a new setter and they’re working through their transition, but they have lots of excellent athletes.”

According to Zurrin the Mariners were sanctioned with four losses after using an ineligible player. With that in mind, the Lady Avs play-caller isn’t about to underestimate a tough Mariners squad.

“They’re tall, they’re athletic, but I think there’s holes in their defense,” Zurrin said.

“They haven’t seen what we run, whatsoever. I think we have a really, really good shot.

“If we run our offence, get them with some speed, get them a lot of split blocks, I think we can capitalize on getting past their block, which is the strength of their defense, to the back court where they’re a little bit shaky.”

Last weekend, Zurrin lamented his team’s ability to engage its “killer instinct” against Camosun. The hope is a little work on mental toughness will help push the Lady Avs to embrace their ability to finish against the Mariners.

“If we’re making silly errors, we address them,” Zurrin said, describing his team’s approach to practice this week. “If we’re playing tentative, we address it.

We just have to change the mentality to understand the pressure.”

Offensively, Kelsey Thompson continues to fuel the Lady Avs with 71 kills in 23 sets, good for fourth in PACWEST. The Lady Avs and Mariners open the weekend Friday at 6 p.m. before wrapping up at 1 p.m. Saturday. The men fire up Friday at 8 p.m.

and conclude the weekend festivities at 3 p.m.

Don’t denounce McDavid’s decision Usually known for terrifying opponents with quick hands and creativity beyond his years, Erie Otters star Connor McDavid caused all of Canada to hold its breath in fear after dropping the gloves during OHL action Tuesday night.

Taking exception to a slash from Bryson Cianfrone of the Mississauga Steelheads, McDavid dropped the gloves, breaking his hand in the process.

The phenom -- McDavid tallied 51 points in 18 OHL games prior to the injury -- is now at risk of missing the World Junior Championships, where he would have played a significant role for a Canadian junior team looking to end a lengthy championship drought.

Shortly after the news broke, social media exploded with opinions saying the 2015 NHL Draft prospect should have never dropped the gloves to begin with, calling into question the place of

fighting within the game.

I say let the kid go to blows.

For the time being, fighting is allowed within the confines of the rules and though the evolving style of play might suggest scrapping is on its way out, players know the risk involved.

McDavid took Taylor exception to how Rocca Cianfrone came at him and he made sure the 19-year-old Steelheads captain knew it.

For years, NHL star Jarome Iginla has thrown down the mitts to send a message. And for years, Iginla has not only been one of the most feared goal-scorers in the NHL, he has also been one of the game’s most punishing power forwards.

Not that McDavid is a regular in the ring, but if he wants players around the OHL to understand he isn’t going to accept mistreatment and he chooses to take matters into his own fists, let him do it.

Sure, that decision bit him this

time around. But had McDavid left the scrap with Cianfrone unscathed, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. We would be talking about how bold it was for a star to literally get his hands dirty, and handle himself in the thick of competition.

Does fighting have a place within the game of hockey? That isn’t for me to decide. But as long as the rules allow for it, don’t denounce dynasty-type players when they decide to drop ‘em.

Fans love violence, it’s why the NHL has yet to do away with fighting.

Remember when Iginla and former Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier went toeto-toe during the 2004 Stanley Cup final? That is, arguably, the most exciting tilt in the past 15 years of NHL competition.

Fans love it. Some buy their tickets because of it. And until it’s outlawed, I say lay off the snipers and playmakers who choose to EddIE MountaIn dIvISIon TEAM go.

OHL star Connor McDavid sidelined Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

TORONTO - Connor McDavid will be out five to six weeks with a fractured bone in his right hand, an injury that could put his participation for Canada in the world junior championship in doubt.

The Erie Otters announced Wednesday afternoon that McDavid suffered a fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone in a fight Tuesday night with Mississauga’s Bryson Cianfrone. The fractured bone extends from the base of the pinkie finger to the wrist.

B.C. students start activity challenge month Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY • NOVEMBER 14 to 16

November marks the third annual Be Active Every Day challenge for school age children in BC. Initiated by the Doctors of BC’s Council on Health Promotion, doctors across the province are challenging over 4,600 elementary students to exercise for at least 60 minutes of every day from Nov. 3 to 28.

In Cranbrook, Dr Fraser Bowden and some of his colleagues are leading the charge with over 1,300 students participating in seven of the city’s elementary schools.

Students from Pinewood, T.M. Roberts, Amy Woodland, Highlands, Steeples, Kootenay Orchard and Gordon Terrace elementary will all be participating.

Dr. Bowden and his colleagues will go into each school and present the challenge for students.

Bowden is a member of the Doctor’s of B.C. Council and decided to get involved after receiv-

ing an email about the program.

“So I sort of took it on myself to organize the program for Cranbrook,” Bowden said.

“We go and do a presentation on the importance of being active everyday and the importance of eating healthy,” he said, as well as limiting screen time, for the next four weeks.

Bowden said it’s been an amazing turn out this year for the program, with seven schools involved. Last year they had two schools involved.

“It’s actually a third of all students in British Columbia that are involved are in Cranbrook,” he said.

The challenge is in response to recent results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey finding only seven per cent of kids aged 5-11 years meet the Canadian Physical Activity guidelines of one hour of activity a day. The survey also finds that sixty-one per cent of Canadian parents agree their kids spend too much time staring at their electronic devices rather than being active.

With doctors in the classroom children will learn more about health, nutrition and fitness from a medical perspective, as well as learn the simple

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

5-2-1-0 steps (5 fruits and vegetables, 2 hours of screen time, 1 hour of activity, and 0 sugar-sweetened beverages, every day).

By the end of the month, the doctors hope that kids will turn their healthy choices into habit – ones that will last well into adulthood.

“We just see so much complications associated with inactivity and poor eating down the road that I think really targeting this age group can help in disease prevention significantly,” he said. “These kids are quite influential and influence-able at this age.”

To help students achieve their goals, the challenge has the support of the Canadian Women’s National Soccer team. In advance of the FIFA World Cup coming to Canada early next year, players Emily Zurrer and Brittany Baxter are BAED’s champion ambassadors who encourage the kids by teaching them soccer tricks and training them to become “soccer stars” through a series of videos. The kids will also keep track of their daily activities in their How to Be a Soccer Star booklet.

He said hopefully next year they can add KCA and St. Mary’s schools to the program as well.

Crown calls Magnotta a ‘pathological liar’ Sidhartha Baner jee Canadian Press

MONTREAL - An assessment by a psychiatrist of Luka Rocco Magnotta’s criminal responsibility raises more questions than answers about the night Jun Lin was killed in May 2012, the Crown said Wednesday.

In her report, Marie-Frederique Allard said she determined Magnotta was not criminally responsible in the death because he was schizophrenic and in a poor mental state after not having had proper psychiatric care since 2010.

Magnotta has admitted to killing Lin but is arguing he was suffering from a mental disorder.

He faces one count of first-degree murder and four other charges in the slaying.

Allard has said Magnotta told her he believed Lin was a government agent sent to kill him and that voices urged him to “cut it” and

to “give it back to the government.”

In his cross-examination at Magnotta’s murder trial Wednesday, Crown prosecutor Louis Bouthillier said the version of events the accused gave Allard raised several inconsistencies and unanswered questions.

Among them, according to Bouthillier: • Why was Magnotta wearing Lin’s hat hours after the Chinese student’s slaying and dismemberment if he believed Lin was an agent?

Was it kept as a trophy?

• If it was meant as a message to the government, why was the socalled murder video of Lin’s gruesome death published on a gore website and not sent directly to the government?

• Why did Magnotta leave his apartment at 2 a.m. if he thought government officials spying on him were in a dark vehicle outside?

• Did he have an ex-

planation for why he was brandishing an oscillating saw as he stood over a sleeping mystery man less than one week before Lin’s slaying?

“He lied to a psychiatrist to get out of being hospitalized. He could also have lied to get out of going to prison.”

Louis Bouthillier Crown Prosecutor These and many other questions were met with similar responses from Allard - either she hadn’t asked Magnotta or he hadn’t offered a proper explanation.

Bouthillier called Magnotta a “pathological liar” who had an interest in telling halftruths to Allard to escape jail time.

The veteran prosecu-

tor said the accused had already demonstrated that ability by admitting to Allard about fibbing to medical professionals in 2011 and one month before the 2012 crime.

“He lied to a psychiatrist to get out of being hospitalized,” Bouthillier said. “He could also have lied to get out of going to prison.”

Justice Guy Cournoyer issued an instruction after Bouthillier’s repeated descriptions of the accused as a liar, reminding the jury that Magnotta benefited from the presumption of innocence.

Allard said Magnotta’s schizophrenia medications, which he started taking regularly after his arrest in June 2012, could be responsible for his memory lapses.

She has done roughly 900 evaluations of different types over a 15year career. Allard repeated Wednesday that Magnotta was challenging, that his responses were often scattered

and that he couldn’t remember details.

The Crown also said there were differences between the version Magnotta gave Allard and one he gave another psychiatrist who is scheduled to testify for the defence.

Bouthillier was able to grill Allard on several pieces of information she said she either found out about recently or failed to put into her 127-page assessment of Magnotta.

One example Bouthillier asked about that did not make it into Allard’s report involved the suitcase into which Lin’s torso was found stuffed. Allard said Magnotta remembered buying it but did not remember damaging it.

Bouthillier suggested the suitcase was intentionally slashed, smeared with paint bought at an art-supply store, and fitted with a lock to prevent a passerby from collecting it from the trash.

Congress studying $6 billion aid package for Ebola L aur an Neergaard Sar ah Dilorenzo Associated Press

WASHINGTON - A top U.S. official outlined plans Wednesday for clinical trials of a possible Ebola vaccine in West Africa, as the global response to the outbreak took on added urgency with the disclosure of a new cluster of cases in Mali and reports that the death toll had surpassed 5,000.

Two studies of a U.S.-developed vaccine will begin in Liberia and Sierra Leone by January and if they go well, “we could know by the middle of 2015 whether or not we have an effective vaccine,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious disease chief at the National Institutes of Health, told the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The confirmation of long-anticipated vaccine studies came as the Senate panel began evaluating the Obama administration’s request for $6.2 billion in emergency aid to fight Ebola.

“These resources are essential to stop the outbreak in Africa, and protect us,” said Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While the number of infections is slowing in some parts of West Africa, the World Health Organization said cases still are surging in Sierra Leone.

Worse, nearby Mali on Wednesday reported three deaths linked to Ebola and moved to track dozens of people who may have been exposed.

“That cluster has to be controlled or we’re going to have another front,” Frieden warned.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a married woman in my early 60s. My husband and I have been married for 35 years. We get along fine most of the time. He is a good man and a good provider. He can be opinionated at times, but he loves his family and friends.

The problem is his constant need for sex.

During our early years, I went along with it, but he would want sex at the most inconvenient times, like when I was all made up, dressed and ready for work. He has a high sex drive, and I do not.

After years of trying to satisfy him, I am at the age where sex is neither important nor enjoyable. Sometimes, it is downright uncomfortable. I do it occasionally, for his benefit, but I really don’t like to.

I do love my husband and show him in other ways. How can I tell him that I don’t enjoy this part of marriage anymore without hurting his sense of manhood? -- Trying To Build a Better Life in the Midwest Dear Trying: You are never going to convince your husband that sex is something he ought to do without. Part of that involves his sex drive, but we suspect another part is a need to control. Still, if you love him and want to remain married, we hope you will try to accommodate him on occasion, in which case, please talk to your doctor about how you can make sex more comfortable. You also can take your husband with you to the doctor so he can better understand what you are going through, and then reach an accommodation that is acceptable to both of you.

Withholding sex because you (and only you) are no longer interested can damage your marriage, making your husband unhappy and depressed or, worse, making him feel justified in looking for someone else to fill the void.

Dear Annie: Is it OK to plug your cellphone into an outlet at a restaurant, grocery, department store, bar, apartment building hallway, etc.?

I work in a restaurant, and people are constantly unplugging lights and other electrical appliances in order to charge their phones. They don’t bother to ask permission before moving tables or to ask what they are disconnecting. Should owners add a “charging fee” to those who want to use their electricity?

What is the proper way to handle these inconsiderate thieves? -- Mrs. Watts Dear Mrs. Watts: Most establishments don’t mind if you plug into any available outlet, although it is always polite to ask first. But disconnecting lights or other appliances is not acceptable unless expressly given permission to do so. As for a “charging fee,” owners must decide whether asking patrons to cover any increase in the electric bill is worth losing customers and creating ill will.

Dear Annie: You have suggested it is important for a host to find out about any serious allergies that guests may have. I have allergies to shellfish and nuts. I can go into anaphylactic shock simply by eating something that was cooked in the same pan as these foods or cut with the same knife.

But I believe the problem is my responsibility. When invited to a meal, I explain the issue to my host. If it creates a serious problem (she was planning on lobster), I simply decline graciously and suggest we meet another time. If it is buffet or wine and cheese, I tell my host that I will need her to indicate what is safe for me to eat. I turn it into a joke, saying, “It could otherwise be a more exciting evening than either of us planned.”

I have found people very willing to share exactly what a dish contains and how it was prepared. I would hope my guests would afford me the same courtesy. We can’t expect others to take responsibility for our health. -- Not Too Concerned Host Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Thank You

For those who may or may not have known, our beloved son, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Robert Scott Taitâ&#x20AC;? (1975 - 2014) at only 39 years of age was tragically taken from us in a traffic accident on October 1st, 2014 in Yellowknife, NWT. With heavy hearts for the loss of a very special son, father, brother, nephew, cousin and friend to so many, we attended a Celebration of Life in his memory in Yellowknife on October 29th, 2014.

At this time we would like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to our many friends in the Kimberley community for their overwhelming support and kindness during this very difficult time. Through your cards, flowers, food and visits of comfort. It has meant so much to us.

Kimberley is truly a compassionate, understanding and caring community which we are so fortunate to call home.

Thank You, Lynda Chamberlin & Cam McCallum

I was last seen Oct. 24 in the area of 4th St. N. & 21st Ave (near the Hospital).

My family is really worried about me!

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 3-4 years old, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a long haired calico with lots of white on me and very golden eyes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very timid.

Please help me get back to my family.

They have a reward too.

Obituaries Helen Iris Walkley (nee Sherret) 1928 - 2014 It is with heartfelt sadness and fond memories that the children of Helen Walkley announce her passing on Thursday, November 6, 2014 at the FW Green Home.

Helen was born on October 6, 1928 in Coalhurst, AB. She moved with her family to Cranbrook in 1946 and worked for Frameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bakery. Soon after she met and fell in love with Jack, they married in May 1948 and together they raised 5 children.

Helen worked alongside her husband in the family business Walkleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cranbrook Meat Market. Helen was a community volunteer, she was active in the PTA at Amy Woodland, Girl Guides, the United Church Children Choir, and was a Senior Fitness Ambassador for the City of Cranbrook, and Hospital Auxiliary for 25+ years.

Her love of life kept her actively involved in fitness, gardening, church and reading.

Helen loved her family dearly, she always took time for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and each were very special to her. Helen was a loving and caring person who will be remembered forever in the hearts by everyone whose lives she touched.

Helen is survived by her son Jack (Ildi) Walkley and their sons Jacob and Ben; daughter Carolyne (Dale) Jacklin of Kelowna, and their sons Chris (Jody), Colin (Glory), James (Holly) and Jordan (Malori); son Tom (Joan) Walkley and their children Shannon (Aaron) and Darren (Karen); daughter Diane (Phil) Butz and their children Jason (Leah), Robert and Melissa; and daughter Sandra (Jess) Davis and their children Lukas and Alanna; and thirteen great grandchildren. Helen is also survived by her brothers James Sherret, Gordon (Lorraine) Sherret; Carol (Norman) Redigar of SK, and Gwen Wills; many nieces, nephews and wonderful friends. Helen was predeceased by her loving husband of 53 years, Jack Robert Walkley in 2001, her parents Andrew and Margaret Sherret, brothers John, Charles, Cecil and David Sherret, and sisters Hazel Scotter and Velda Desrosiers.

The family would like to thank the FW Green Home staff for wonderful care they provided Mom during her stay there. Their attentive and caring manner will never be forgotten.

A memorial service for Helen will be held at the Cranbrook United Church at 11:00 am Friday, November 14, 2014 with Reverend Frank Lewis officiating.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the: Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9, or the: Canadian Diabetes Association, PO Box 12013, Stn BRM B, Toronto, Ontario, M7Y 2L3.
