Mt. Baker student arrested for uttering threats Cranbrook RCMP investigates uttering threats incident at Mount Baker High School FOR THE BULLETIN

On Friday December 11, 2015 at around 11:30, the Cranbrook RCMP received a call from staff at Mt. Baker High School in regards to the discovery of conversations and texted communications between students that were threatening in nature. It is al-

leged that the 18 year old male student uttered threats against another individual and the school population regarding a bomb and the use of firearms. Upon receiving the complaint the Cranbrook RCMP immediately attended the school, where police resources worked in conjunction with the school administration and staff in activating security protocols. The 18 year old male was arrested upon police attendance for uttering threats and transported to Cranbrook detachment. See THREATS Page 3

After a full year of gathering, sorting and placing, the Kimberley Pipe Band are proud to have a Limited Edition History Book available for sale. It’s a beautiful, hard cover book that is filled with hundreds pictures of the band’s history dating back as far as 1927. This memory and picture book was lovingly compiled by former Pipe Major Jim Warriner and his wife Elsie. In preparation for the pipe band’s 90th Anniversary and Tattoo in July of 2017, the band felt the timing was perfect to offer this to the public. The copies can be purchased for $30 from Kimberley’s Centex and from the Edward Jones office in Cranbrook. What a wonderful Christmas gift for anybody’s coffee table. Above, Jim Warriner delivers a copy of the book to Mayor Don McCormick.

There comes a time when arguing about whose responsibility something is needs to end and action has to be taken. That was Kimberley City Council’s decision this week as they voted to ask staff to make sure the sidewalk near the Catholic Church is kept clear for pedestrians. Council had heard about the problem before — the sidewalk runs along Highway 95A near the blind corner leading out of town. When the sidewalk is not cleared, pedestrians must walk on the highway and it is quite tight there. See Page 3 Tight corner, uncleared sidewalk. Safety issue.
