The Ktunaxa Nation and the Cranbrook Home Depot are celebrating a successful Orange Door Project fundraising drive that raised more than $20,000.

The Orange Door Project fundraising campaign at the

Cranbrook Home Depot ended on July 2nd raising $10,052.

“The Cranbrook Home Depot had the highest percentage in Canada for selling Orange Doors per customer transaction,” said Tim Strauss, Cranbrook Home

Depot store manager.

“The Home Depot Canada Foundation is matching the funds we raised totalling more than $20,000 for Street Angel through this campaign.”

“We are fortunate to live in a community with businesses

like Home Depot that truly care about the homelessness issue in our area,” said Jackie Brown, Ktunaxa Nation Council Social Sector Urban Services Manager. “Last year, The Orange Door Project raised $15,000 for Street Angel at

City reservoir slightly down The water level at the Phillips Reservoir is down about 4 inches, based on measurements taken by staff on Friday, however the reservoir still remains close to capacity.

As such, the current year round outdoor water management policy is still in effect and allows for watering of lawns and gardens on Monday, Thursday and Saturday for even numbered properties; Tuesday, Friday and Sunday for odd numbered properties. No one waters on Wednesday. This covers all outdoor water use including: washing of vehicles, RV’s, campers, boats, windows and the filling of kids’ pools or hot tubs.

The City of Cranbrook continues to remind residents and businesses to be aware that additional mandatory watering restrictions may still be put into place this summer if we don’t

get regular rainfall to help replenish the reservoir. Public Works staff who monitors the levels at the reservoir will continue to do so throughout the year. The City of Cranbrook will continue to regularly provide updates about the reservoir levels to ensure that everyone has ample lead time should additional watering restrictions need to be put into place.

The City’s Outdoor Water Management policy allows for a second phase of water management to be put into effect should the reservoir level reach 75% capacity and is not getting enough additional water to maintain that level. If we get to that point, it would mean reducing the number of times per week you would be allowed to water your lawns and gardens.

On Friday July 24, the City began voluntary watering restrictions by

stopping the irrigation of some green spaces and parks including: Pinecrest, Rotary Trail, Pop Price Park, ACT Park, Kinsmen Park, Staple Crescent, the Highway boulevard and Balment Park at Western Financial Place. Irrigation has also been reduced at the Kinsmen Quads, Rotary Park, Confederation Park, MacKinnon Park, Moir Park and Lions Park.

The public is also invited to join in the voluntary restrictions to assist in reducing the overall water consumption of the City wherever possible.

The Weekday View

Letter: About that funding ‘mistake’ On July 28th, MP David Wilks released a statement to the media claiming that he had made a ‘mistake’ on a funding announcement in Revelstoke. As people across the riding will know, Mr. Wilks has spent the last two weeks crisscrossing Kootenay Columbia, making massive funding announcements with just weeks to go

Monday, August 3 2015 Kootenay News Advertiser

in his mandate.

In Revelstoke, Mr. Wilks made a $156.6 million funding announcement for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks that has now been proven by a Revelstoke journalist and local residents to include a $54.8 million discrepancy. Mr. Wilks’ ‘new’ money promise included significant work that had

already been completed. The people of Revelstoke saw through this false promise, and their outcry resulted in the MP being forced to publicly acknowledge his ‘mistake’.

Was this an accounting error or did Mr. Wilks actually believe he could get away with it? Maybe he just said what he was told to say.

Mr. Wilks’ re-election strategy is dependent on big, flashy funding announcements that attempt

to prove he’s doing a good job for the people of Kootenay Columbia. He’s even stated that he’s too busy making funding announcements to make plans to attend All-Candidates debates.

This situation has cast a real shadow on all the announcements made recently

by Mr. Wilks. In this case, questions will continue to be asked about whether or not Mr. Wilks knew he was announcing as new funding proj-

ects that had already been completed. If not, why didn’t he know what was taking place in his own riding? If the money had already been spent, and he didn’t know, can he really take credit for any new money spent in the riding?

I’ve spent months knocking on doors and meeting with voters across the riding, and I’m hearing what voters care about, and the standards that they set for their elected officials. I believe

that if Mr. Wilks spent more time talking to a wide range of voters he’d realize that this kind of overblown announcement about projects at the very end of his term doesn’t tell a positive story.

Instead, the current MP has reinforced all the things that many voters already believe about him: that he doesn’t have any real connections with the communities he represents, that he simply says what Stephen Harper tells him

to say, and that he doesn’t put the interests of his constituents first.

Mr. Wilks has not done his re-election bid any favours by playing with voters in this disrespectful manner. And I believe that voters will have something to say about that on October 19th. ~Wayne Stetski, NDP candidate for Member of Parliament, Kootenay Columbia

Construction on new Rykerts border crossing to start in 2017

by Brian Lawrence, Creston Valley Advance Construction on a new Rykerts port of entry facility will begin in 2017, Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks announced today

on behalf of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Minister Steven Blaney.

Wilks told Canadian Border Services Agency representatives and Creston Valley elected officials that $37.5 mil-

lion would be used to improve infrastructure in B.C., including the Kootenays’ Rykerts and Waneta border crossings.

(The Rykerts crossing’s portion will be released after contracts are awarded.)

“This facility has been in place since 1972 and has worked well for the last 43 years,” said Wilks.

“But it’s time for some TLC.” In addition to the general office space, the facility south of

Creston has kitchen, washroom and locker facilities for staff, as well as a holding cell and upstairs storage. But it was built for only four CBSA officers, and now has eight full-time officers and a superintendent, as well as additional support staff in the busier summer months.

The border crossing upgrade was welcome news to elected officials, including Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie, who appreciated the invitation to the announcement — a similar invitation likely wasn’t extended when the building opened.

“We’ve worked together to progress as a country,” Louie said. “We are an equal government and looked at as a legitimate government by the CBSA.” With 270,085 travellers crossing in 201415 and 276, 398 in

2013-14, the new facility — to be built with a modular design — will help to keep traffic flowing between Canada and the U.S. “It gives the opportunity for business to keep moving out of Creston, and also for Creston,” said Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B director Tanya Wall. “This is one of our most beautiful areas and a great opportunity for a new building.”

RDCK Area C director Larry Binks added that he was pleased with the investment in the Creston Valley, and noted that rural communities often feel left out of government funding.

“Thank the minister and prime minster spreading that around,” he told Wilks.

The investment is part of $440 million announced in November 2014 to

replace aging ports of entry across the country, part of the CBSA’s efforts toward modernization.

“Improvements to port of entry facilities help ensure the free flow of legitimate travel and trade across Canadian borders,” said Blaney in a press release. “Our commitment to invest $440 million in border infrastructure to modernize port of entry demonstrates our government’s ongoing commitment to the safety and prosperity of our country.”

The $440 million is in addition to the $241 million already invested by the federal government to expand and modernize ports of entry over the last five years. The Kingsgate port of entry south of Yahk received a $16.3 million expansion a few years ago, with the new facility opening in March 2012.

Provincial Cabinet shuffle sees familiar faces with different jobs on the creation of a 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to fund transit expansion.

Fassbender, a Surrey MLA, has extensive history on the TransLink file as a former Langley City Mayor who once chaired the Metro

mayors’ council as it tried to persuade the province to grant a new revenue source.

Stone as minister made statements supportive of the mayors’ plan and the new tax but did not actively campaign for it dursee Cabinet page 6

by Jeff Nagel BC Liberal backbencher Mike Bernier is B.C.’s new Education Minister, while predecessor Peter Fassbender takes over as Community, Sport, and Cultural Development Minister, with responsibility for TransLink as well.

The mini cabinet shuffle announced Thursday by Premier Christy Clark also shifts Coralee Oakes, who previously headed the ministry that deals with municipalities, to Minister of Small Business and Red-Tape Reduction,

with responsibility for the Liquor Distribution Branch.

Fassbender headed the province’s negotiations with B.C. teachers during last year’s strike. He held out for a negotiated settlement the province achieved rather than legislating teach-

ers back to work, as had been the pattern in several previous teacher strikes.

Fassbender, along with fellow Surrey MLA Marvin Hunt, was more blunt, at one point speaking out against No campaign critics of TransLink’s record.

“Is it totally mismanaged? I don’t believe that, I never

have,” Fassbender told Black Press in March, pointing to audits in recent years.

“The previous commissioner looked at it and said it was a wellrun organization.”

Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore welcomed Fassbender’s new role.

“It think it’s a good move,” the Port Coquitlam mayor said. “He has a deep

Monday, August 3 2015 Kootenay News Advertiser understanding of the legislation and not only the challenges but also the opportunities of being able to work together to find solutions for TransLink.”

Moore noted Fassbender, when he led the mayors’ council, was “very proud” of the agreement struck in 2010 with then-premier Gordon Campbell to negotiate

Hugs: To the manager and staff of Arby’s restaurant thank you for being so friendly and for serving gluten free buns as a option for people like myself who can’t have gluten.

Would Love to see other restaurants giving the option of gluten free bread or buns. Thanks again Arby’s your doing a great job.

Slugs: To the slug against the people who slugged tailgaters on the highway. You know, if you look closely at the top of the 100 km/h sign, you might notice it says “Maximum” and not “Mandatory.”

Hugs: To the great employees at Denham Ford for their wonderful customer service. They go above and beyond, ensuring satisfaction in a friendly and cheery manner.

Slugs: To the people who “walk” their dogs by riding their bikes and either having the dogs on a leash or running loose. This is extremely dangerous for the dogs since they are loyal to their owners and will run until they collapse. Dogs are not built to run long distances because they sweat by panting. They are sprinters not longdistance runners. Put yourself in your dogs place, can you run for miles or even a few blocks on a hot day?

Hugs: To the staff at Chalet GM for the great customer service and experience during the trade of our older vehicle and purchase of the newer vehicle. It was a very pleasant experience. Huge thanks to Al, Kathy and Shannon for making it work for us and being super accommodating. You all were friendly, funny, honest, and did your jobs very well. Will definitely recommend you to others and hope to do business with you again sometime.

Slugs: To the lady that let her dog poo on someone’s nice manicured lawn and then left it there. I saw you when I drove by and was very disappointed you watched your dog poo on this lawn and then walked away when it was finished. How hard is it to bring a bag and pick it up.

People work hard to maintain their properties not to have to pick up your animals dung. Shame on you.

Slugs: To the people that send in slugs about the tailgaters between Cranbrook & Kimberley. It’s still against the law to tailgate. Maybe you should leave 5 minutes earlier.

Hugs: To the RCMP for patrolling the road between Kimberley and Cranbrook more often. Thanks.

Slugs: Slugs or more appropriately disappointment in the attendance at our evening Farmers markets get, the people put a lot of time and effort with their products etc and to do all that and to have so little people come is frustrating to them I am sure. I attend all markets and enjoy the atmosphere and music that is there as well. So to vendors and musicians last night, July 15, good job and those who did not come they missed out on a nice evening.

Slugs: To our inconsiderate neighbor who locks their car using the remote FOB, which results in the horn honking

a new funding source.

Mayors saw Clark’s promise of a referendum as a betrayal of that deal.

NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena called the shift in TransLink responsibility a “slapdown” for Stone “because he hasn’t delivered.”

Bernier, a former Dawson Creek mayor with 20 years experience in the natural

gas industry, is a firstterm MLA for Peace River South.

Clark also shifted Naomi Yamamoto out of the small business ministry, making her Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness, underneath the transportation ministry.

Jordan Sturdy is now parliamentary secretary for energy literacy and

Hugs: To all the hundreds of volunteers who volunteer their time to help such great community events take place, such as another very successful Sam Steele Days!

Hugs: To the Garden Club and to all the Cranbrook area residents who so kindly share their beautiful gardens for us all to admire and enjoy! And thank you to the Garden Club for supporting the hanging baskets around town, for a more beautiful Cranbrook.

Hugs: To our businesses and the City of Cranbrook, for keeping up their landscaping on their lots and plant trees, shrubs and flowers. The strip looks better every year!

Slugs: To businesses who let weeds grow rampant in their businesses, no matter where it is located and do not do simple landscaping.

Hugs: To businesses that proudly fly our Canadian flag but SLUGS to those businesses that fly the Canadian flag, but do not replace it when it starts to fade and get shredded. And please follow the etiquette of how flags should be displayed on a flag pole (eg. correct order if flying more than one) and the disposing of a flag when it is time to replace.

Hugs: To our service clubs that keep up our parks and support events held throughout the year. Without you, many events could not take place!

Hugs: To The Play Pen for strategically placing containers with baggies inside, so EVERYONE can pick up their after their pets, should you forget to bring your own.

Slugs: To those pet walkers who ignore the by-law of picking up after their pets, and SLUGS who do pick up but then place the full baggie on the walk way, instead of walking a few steps to the nearest waste bin.

Hugs: To the Playpen for putting up the pet waste stations in the community forest. Slugs to all the people that continue not to use them.

Slugs: GIANT SLUGS to a certain grocery store in Cranbrook for charging such outrageous prices for your goods! $.65 for a hot dog bun! Really? I am NEVER going in that store again!

Hugs: Giant HUGS to Williams Moving and Storage for moving a piano from there to here in record time and a great price! Thank You! Hugs: More Giant Hugs to a certain church in town for literally giving away a piano and stool for FREE!

“We have the opportunity now to build on a record of student achievement with long-term labour peace in place, to strengthen our support for small business, which is the

backbone of our economy, to work together with communities to prepare for the future, and to put in place a plan to prevent and manage emergencies or natural disasters so that our province can recover with our future secured,” Clark said in a news release.

Slugs: To the vehicles that travel Victoria Ave with their speakers thumping at full throttle. How enjoyable is that for you and your passengers? I can tell you it’s no fun for the people whose houses back onto that street.

Slugs: To the City for placing the black boxes of poison

by Confederation Park, to kill the gophers so they won’t dig holes at the baseball diamond. It is heartbreaking to see a gopher bleeding and breathing shallow and dying.

Shame on you!

Hugs: A BIG hug to the very kind lady that returned our son’s wallet, which he lost at a local gas station on July 10. You brought it right to our front door, your honesty & kindness will not be forgotten!

Slugs: To the person or persons who shot a young Canada Goose at Elizabeth Lake with a high powered pellet gun, the goose will survive with 2 pellets lodged in it’s body. Elizabeth Lake is a protected wildlife area, what are you thinking? Apparently you don’t have a heart!

Slugs: Slugs to the people that left their beverage cans, food cans and garbage in the fire pit at Widlhorse River last Sunday, July 18!!!

Hugs: A big hug to the driver of the Esso fuel truck driving up the Wildhorse Road slowing right down as he passed me walking my dog, instead of leaving me enveloped in dust and flying gravel as some drivers do.

Many thanks!

Slugs: To local businesses who do not have bicycle racks.

There are some of us who do not own greenhouse gas emitting gas guzzlers!

Hugs: To Gerick’s Sports and Canadian 2 for 1 Pizza for the fantastic service you’ve provided me.

Tour participant snaps pic of rare egret in Columbia Wetlands

A species on record for having been spotted only a handful of time in the Columbia Valley, a great egret was seen in the local wetlands on July 19th.

This summer’s first sighting of a rare great egret in the Columbia

Wetlands has evoked great excitement for some.

Local biologist and ornithologist Cam Gillies confirmed the

elusive find from a photograph taken by a participant while on a tour of the wetlands with Blazin Trailz Adventurz

(which operates out of Fairmont Hot Springs) on Sunday, July 19th.

Gillies added the great egret is a bird

that is rarely found in the Columbia Valley.

Scaramouche Jones, which can be seen during Kimberley’s Kaleidoscope festival, was one of the CKCA funding recipients.

Over 160 arts, culture and heritage projects—including the Columbia Basin Culture Tour—have received a total of $706,000.00 in funding support for the 2015–2016 season through the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA), in partnership with Columbia Basin Trust.

“The CKCA Steering Committee was pleased to be able to supply Trust funding to good projects all across the Basin.

We hope cultural

organizations will start thinking about activities that will be happening between June 2016 and May 2017 and planning their applications now for the next funding cycle,” said Jacquie Hamilton, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance Chair.

Funding applications were adjudicated in May by the CKCA Steering Committee, with input from community arts councils. Support will go toward a wide range of projects, including individual and group projects, master classes, major exhibitions and heritage capital projects.

“Each year we look forward to seeing the list of projects that will bring

such cultural wealth to our region,” said Lynda Lafleur, Columbia Basin Trust Community Liaison.

“We have many creative, innovative and hard-working people in the Basin, and it’s their visions and efforts that make our arts, culture and heritage sector so strong.”

CKCA funding helps individuals and organizations realize heritage projects and projects in all arts disciplines, including visual art, theatre,

music, dance, media, literature and interarts. For a list of funded projects, visit the CKCA website at www.basinculture. com or call 1-877505-7355.

this species) for the Columbia Valley.

There have only been a few since then,” explained Gillies, noting the great egret

species is typically found in the southern United States of America. “They seem to have this habit of showing up at this time of year.”

The great egret — also known as the common or large egret, as well as the great white heron — inhabits tropical regions of the world and southern Europe.

“It’s safe to say there are maybe only half a dozen, fewer than 10, records for the Columbia Valley,” said Gillies, noting the great egret species adventures out of its home after breeding.

“It’s a more tropical bird than what we’re used to seeing… the great thing about great egrets is that they’re really obvious to spot because they are really big and they are white, so it’s a great bird to look out for in the wetlands.

It’s an exciting sighting.”

by Pat Morrow, Chair, Conrad Kain Centennial Society It wasn’t looking too good for this year’s Conrad Kain Bugaboos Teens climbing camp.

On the morning of July 25, a team of ten East Kootenay youths, three ACMG guides, a BC Parks ranger, a mountain author and I set out from the Conrad Kain hut into a light drizzle, hoping for a break in the weather.

We had practiced violent art of self arrest with our ice axes on steep snow slopes the day before, and today we hoped to tackle one of the iconic granite peaks that makes this area so famous in the mountaineering world.

However, the malevolent weather gods

assured us that we’d have to be content with learning about roped travel on the remnant glacier beneath the east face of Snowpatch Spire, and pray for visibility so we could at least get a glimpse of the peaks we had come to climb.

After some hours, the outing turned out to be a test of the waterproofness of our rain garments, and our patience for coping with hypothermic conditions. We decided to abandon this character-building exercise and head back to the warmth and camaraderie of the hut. It was here that we first heard radio reports of climbers stranded on Howser Spire, the highest in the Bugaboo range.

warnings of the day before, and were now lost in the clouds with an airborne SAR team from Golden trying to locate them. In the very last light of day the clouds parted and the rescue chopper was able to sling them to safety. They were lucky to emerge from their lapse in mountaineering judgment with only superficial bruises to their pride.

Our third and final day dawned clear, but with a forecast of more rain on the way, we got an early start.

A couple hours later, with route-finding and roped assistance from veteran guides

Maya Streloff and Kennedy Sterzer test their patience with the infamous Bugaboo weather.

Jennifer Olson and Tim McAllister we stood atop 2697 meter East Post spire, watching the clouds roil behind Snowpatch and Bugaboo Spires.

Satiated, we lowered off this fantastic vantage point just as the first flakes of snow began to alight on our upturned faces. Another year, another seminal experience shared by a great group of kids – Christine Constable, Matt Swallow, Ben Wiegert, Bryn Muir, Nathan Cuell and Kieran Moore from Invermere, Kennedy Sterzer from Kimberley, Josie Ruoss from Cranbrook, and Maya Streloff and

Despite the inclement weather, Josie Ruoss was impressed: “The Bugaboos are something I believe everyone should experience to truly appreciate the beautiful world we live in. I feel refreshed, humbled and inspired to create some more artwork. I am excited
