C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

As many of our valued readers and advertising clients are already aware, there is change coming to the Kimberley Bulletin.

Beginning next week, the Kimberley Bulletin will arrive on your doorstep three days a week — Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

The Cranbrook Daily Townsman will also be going to three days a week and the Kootenay Advertiser will publish once a week, on Thursdays.

All three publications are owned by Black Press.

You’ll still be able to find daily news updates as they happen at www.kimberleybulletin.com and www. cranbrooktownsman. com.

“We met with many of our customers before making the decision to change our publishing days.” said Mary Kemmis, president of the East Koote-

nay and Alberta divisions of Black Press.

“In every instance I was gratified to hear their willingness to work with us to develop a distribution model that would reduce newsprint costs while continuing to give our readers and customers the high-quality, locally-focussed newspapers they’ve come to expect. The very strong and loyal reader and advertiser support that the The Kimberley Bulletin and Cranbrook Townsman enjoy is a tribute to the work our team has done to ensure we are an integral part of the fabric of the communities we serve.”

“I’m very excited about the changes we are making in this market,” said Zena Williams, the current publisher of the Kootenay Advertiser, who will also be taking over as Townsman/Bulletin publisher at the end of April.

Prescribed burn in KNP Saturday

Maintenance burn a go should weather forecast hold C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Kimberley Fire Department, along with the BC Wildfire Service, will be con-

ducting a controlled burn in the Kimberley Nature Park this Saturday, should weather conditions allow.

The objective of this treatment is to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires in the Wildland Urban Interface adjacent to the City of Kimberley.

The burn will begin at the Levirs/Burdett entrance to the Nature Park and burn toward the gravel pit.

Fire Chief Al Collinson says that the burn will begin between 9 and 10 a.m. and last about six hours.

Johnston to retire BARRY COULTER

The Cranbrook Townsman and Kimberley Bulletin are are saying good-bye to long-time Publisher Karen Johnston.

Johnston announced her retirement earlier this month, effective April 29.

“It was a difficult decision to make,” Johnston said. “But I’m at the right stage in life to pursue some new endeavours.

And after 28 years in the business, I felt like I’ve come full circle.”

Johnston joined the Townsman in 2007 as Advertising Director. Her husband, Russell Johnston, joined the team at the same time as press operator. Russell is staying on at the newspaper as Press Foreman.

Karen became Publisher of the Townsman/ Bulletin in 2010.

“The most difficult part of the decision is leaving a business I love, and the incredible team I’ve worked with at the

Townsman and Bulletin,” she said. “Hard workers who’ve become personal friends.”

“I do feel the changes here will be a successful model for the staff,” she added.

Johnston will remain a friend of the Townsman and a subscriber. She will also remain active in the community in roles, as a volunteer and other capacities.

“Karen has done an amazing job of ensuring our readers and advertisers receive excellent service and quality. I’ve enjoyed working with her immensely and will miss her positive energy and enthusiasm,” said Mary Kemmis, Black Press President, Alberta and East Kootenay divisions.

The Townsman and Bulletin wish Karen Johnston all the best on her way forward into the future.

“We have a great relationship with all of our local media partners, but especially with the Townsman and that always comes from the top down,” said Chris Zettel, Communications Officer with the City of Cranbrook.

“Karen has been beyond exceptional to work with and has become a great friend. I will miss working with her and I wish her nothing but the best wherever her path leads.”

Changes at Kimberley Bulletin From Page 1 “Our advertisers will be able to utilize the best of what a free distribution and a paid subscription newspaper has to offer. Our readers of both our free and paid papers have supported us every step of the way and continue to through daily interactions such as letters to the editor, press releases, photo submissions etc. There’s a bright future ahead for these newspapers and I’m looking forward to working with the staff at all three offices.

Police ask drivers to remove the shades

East Kootenay Traffic Services For the Bulletin

Over the last several years, there has been a proliferation of motor vehicles operating in the East Kootenays with film window tint affixed to the front driver and passenger side windows.

This alteration to a motor vehicle is prohibited under Section 7.05(8) of the Motor Vehicle Act of British Columbia. Film tint reduces the amount of light penetration into the cab of the vehicle, reducing the ability of the drivers of other motor vehicles to make eye contact with the drivers of these modified vehicle at intersections.

“Any reduction in the ability of driver’s to make clear eye contact with each other at intersections increased the possibility of a side impact collision,” says Sgt. D. Erichsen of the East Kootenay Traffic Service Unit. “It is a safety issue, and one that police offi-

cers in the area are being called upon to stringently enforce.”

Sgt. Erichsen went on to explain that in addition to reducing the ability of drivers to see and make eye contact with each other, film window tinting also causes the safety glass to fail. In the event of a side impact collision, the window glass is supposed to shatter, cube and collapse. Film window tinting causes the glass cubes to clump together and become a projectile into the vehicle. This can lead to additional injury and facial lacerations to those travelling inside of the vehicle.

Sgt. Erichsen reports that the issue of tinted windows has recently came to a head when it was learned that some local car dealerships were offering for sale vehicles with film window tint applied to the side windows. Before this began, the problem was isolated to vehicles im-

Prescribed burn in Nature Park this Saturday From Page 1 “We are shooting to go this Saturday,” he said. “This burn was cancelled a couple of times. We tried last fall but we had to wait until the golf course (Trickle Creek) closed. This time we are going prior to opening.”

There is a bit of rain in the forecast for the next couple of days, but not too much, and a warm front is forecast to roll in by the weekend so it should be a go, Collinson says.

“A weather change would cancel the burn,” he said. “If conditions are good, the smoke should rise but we still are asking people to close their windows.

There is potential for smoke.”

Collinson says there will be Kimberley Fire Department personnel on scene as well as BC Wildfire Service people.

“There will be a minimum of 15 people on scene, “ he said.

The purpose of the burn is to get rid of ground debris from the thinning program conducted last year and any re-generation from that program.

“This should provide us with a ten to 15 year window of no work in that area,” he said.

The Fire Department is asking people to stay well clear of that area of the Nature Park on Saturday.

The City of Kimberley would like to thank you for your cooperation.

For additional information contact the Fire Department at 427-4114.

Local NEWS American Cranbrook opens dog park Counterfeit money in region BARRY COULTER

Our excitable and energetic canine friends have not wasted anytime heading down to the Muriel Baxter Dog Park, but on Wednesday, April 13, the City of Cranbrook officially opened the new off-leash green space on 2nd Street South and Victoria Avenue.

Representatives of the City of Cranbrook and School District 5 gathered at the park to celebrate the collaboration that made the park a reality.

The park has already been seeing heavy four-footed traffic.

Appropriate fencing was put in place by JRJ Fencing of Cranbrook almost a month ago.

There are two new sets of gates in the park, one set over by the old school grounds and another one over in the corner by Victoria Avenue — a high traffic area.

And the park includes a separate enclosure for small dogs, in case they or their owners aren’t comfortable with being among the big dogs.

The concept of the Muriel Baxter Dog Park has the support of the family of that iconic Cranbrook teacher for whom the now vanished school was named, and the project itself has been in the works for almost a decade.

The City of Cranbrook said in a press release that both Moir Centennial Athletic Park and even the Moir Park gravel pit — once reclamation work was complete — were considered for

the project. But input from residents supported a decision to try finding a more central location.

A decision by City Councila year ago reallocated funds earmarked for the Moir site to redeveloping the Muriel Baxter school site.

Both the School District and the City had partnered on a number of recreational projects including the redevelopment of the Mount Baker tennis courts.

The School District proposed to the City that if the municipality was interested in managing the vacant Muriel Baxter property as a dog park, they would provide access to the site.

SD5 Board Chair Frank Lento says it is collaborations like this one that make our community stronger.

“When politicians stop looking at who’s responsible for what and simply look at what is needed, we strengthen our foundation as a community. That’s the power of partnership.”

The City release said staff will continue to look at opportunities to create other dog friendly areas throughout the City.

“Dog park development is one of the highest growth amenities in park systems across North America,” says Chris New, Director of Leisure Services for the City of Cranbrook. “Our residents were looking for this option within our own park system.

We were also looking to provide options for dog friendly areas because we are having challenges with residents running their pets on prohibited areas like sports fields and ball diamonds.”

Information signage is posted at the Muriel Baxter dog park and can be found on the City of Cranbrook website @ www. cranbrook.ca – check under the ‘Residents’ tab and click on ‘Muriel Baxter Off-Leash Dog Park’.

Shades off please

From Page 3 “Dealerships are prohibited from selling any vehicle which does not conform with the Motor Vehicle Act and its regulations by Section 222 of the Motor Vehicle Act. By applying film window tint to new vehicles, these dealerships are violating legislation and placing their clients in jeopardy by selling them vehicles that do not comply with the regulations of the Motor Vehicle Act.” Drivers are being advised by the police that if their vehicle has film window tint affixed to the front side windows, the driver is subject to a fine of $109.00. Additionally, the vehicle can be ordered for inspection, at the owner’s expense to ensure that the vehicle fully complies with the Motor Vehicle Act and its Regulations.

“Of course”, Sgt. Erichsen reminds, “this means that the film window tint would have to

be removed prior to the inspection in order to pass.”

When questioned as to whether those driving vehicles registered outside of British Columbia must comply with this regulation, Sgt. Erichsen answered, “A motor vehicle operated in British Columbia must comply with the regulation of the Province or jurisdic-

tion where they are registered. In the case of Alberta registered vehicles, that means, yes, drivers are subject to the same fine and requirements as B.C. drivers.

Tinted windows are prohibited in Alberta as well. In fact, there is not a jurisdiction west of Ontario that allows tinted side windows.”

Water Quality - While colour and turbidity are present at low levels for most of the year, higher turbidity occurs during spring runoff (April - June). What is Turbidity? Turbidity is a water quality term that refers to the relative clarity of water, and occurs when microscopic organisms are picked up by water as it passes through a watershed. It is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). How much turbidity is acceptable? Interior Health has the following ratings for turbidity levels related to water quality: GOOD - 0 to 1 NTU; FAIR - 1 to 5 NTU; and POOR - 5 NTU and above.

What is a Water Quality Advisory (WQA)? The City will issue a WQA if turbidity levels exceed 1 NTU but is less than 5 NTU. Children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and anyone seeking additional protection will be advised to drink boiled water or a safe alternative. Ongoing information will be available on the City website, and through the media. What is a Boil Water Notice (BWN)? The City will issue a BWN if turbidity levels exceed 5 NTU. All users will be advised to drink boiled water or a safe alternative.

Ongoing information will be available on the City website at www.kimberley.ca and through the media.

Brazil’s Corruption Crisis

ou couldn’t make this stuff up.

Next Sunday, President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil faces an impeachment vote in the lower house of Congress. The charge? That she manipulated government accounts to make the deficit look smaller than it really was before the last election.

But that’s ridiculous. Governments always try to downplay the deficit before an election. I’ve covered dozens of elections, and at least onethird of the time it later came out that the government had been hiding how bad the financial situation was. It’s naughty, but it’s not a hanging offence.

Never mind. The knives are out for Dilma Roussef in Brazil, and if she loses the Congressional vote this weekend she is heading straight for impeachment.

That would mean that she would be suspended for 180 days even if she ultimately survived the process. So who would take over while Rousseff is on trial?

Vice-President Michel Temer, of course, and he would be more than happy to do that. In fact, a recently leaked audio tape reveals him rehearsing the speech he would make after Rousseff was suspended.

“Many people sought me out so that I would give at least preliminary remarks to the Brazilian nation, which I am doing with modesty, caution and moderation...” he modestly begins.

Rousseff was furious, accusing Temer of betrayal (he only led his party out of her coalition government last week), and she now talks about him as the chief conspirator in a coup plot against her democratically elected government. But she shouldn’t worry too much about Temer, because he is also facing impeachment, on the very same charge of cooking the gov-

ernment books to hide the scale of the deficit.

Who would take over if Temer was also impeached? The speaker of the lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha, is next in line – but he is facing money-laundering and other grave charges connected with an immense scandal in the state-owned oil company, Petrobras. (His secret Swiss bank accounts hold over $5 million.)

So the job of running Brazil would go to the speaker of the Senate, Renan Calheiros – except that he is also being Gwynne investigated on the same charges. Indeed, Dyer more than 150 members of Congress and government officials are currently facing charges of bribery, corruption and money laundering as part of the “Operation Lava Jato” (Car Wash) investigation into the affairs of Petrobras.

This is not some banana republic. This is Brazil, a country of 200 million people with the sixth biggest economy in the world. Yet the entire political class is under suspicion of criminal behaviour, apparently with good reason, and day after day the streets are full of angry demonstrators.

Brazil has been fully democratic for the past three decades, yet Rousseff now worries openly about a coup. Some of the anti-government demonstrators are openly calling for a military takeover. This is a country in meltdown – but why now? Because the economy has gone belly-up.

The global economy was booming when Rousseff’s Workers Party first came to power in 2003 under the leadership of Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva, and Brazil’s economy was booming with it. There was money then for huge social spending – enough to lift 40 million Brazilians out of

poverty – and Lula was beloved by all.

But the Crash of 2008 had already taken the bloom off the rose before Dilma Rousseff succeeded Lula in 2011, and Brazil’s export-dependent economy has taken a terrible beating since then. It was growing at 3.5 percent annually under Lula. It was already down to 2.2 percent in Rousseff’s first term, but it shrank at the rate of 4 percent annually in 2014 and 2015.

It’s mostly not Rousseff’s fault, although she could have done better. China, Russia and South Africa have seen similar declines as commodity prices plunged and exports dwindled.

Indeed, among the BRICS, the big, fast-growing economies of the former Third World, only India has escaped. And this collapse in growth is why opinion polls show that 68 percent of Brazilians now want to see Rousseff removed from power.

There is unquestionably a major political crisis in Brazil, but it may not be quite as bad as it looks. The latest head-count suggests that the vote in the lower house of Congress may not produce the two-thirds majority of votes that is needed to impeach Rousseff.

Even if it does, Rousseff can appeal to the Supreme Court. If that fails, the Senate must vote on impeachment – and if it also votes yes, Rousseff can appeal to the Supreme Court again. And so far the military show no signs of wanting to seize power again.

So Rousseff may still be lumbered with the miserable and deeply unpopular task of running a large and boisterous country that is going through a severe cyclical economic downturn for another two and a half years. She’ll probably be glad when her term is up.

Changes

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

I am another member of the public that has subscribed to the Daily Townsman for many years, who does not like the reduction of services of our local paper, as well as the Advertiser.

Mr. Chris Johns’ letter to the editor is quite right — what he left out are all the carriers, young and old, who will be making even less extra money, and how the internet access to news contributes to reductions and job losses, etc. It can also be, shall I say, “controlled” even more as to what you are going to see or hear in local, regional or global news.

In the near future, imagine a world, or even province, where computer technology will take over even more. No need for grocery, bank tellers … no need for newspapers, libraries, school teachers and so on.

I remember in elementary school back in the late 1960s reading a story of two children who sat in front of a big square TV screen in their home (a picture showed this in the book), that served as their teacher. I thought ‘Yuk, that’s terrible!’ I sure hope that never happens.

All this technology keep getting shoved on all of us whether we like it or not, want it or not.

Digitalization. A certain few making near trillions off it. It was introduced years ago in media as exciting, and how it will make our our lives so much easier. Well, it’s certainly been a mixture of good, but also bad too. It’s also too bad that there’s so much ‘monopolization’ going on. Papers were better off being owned and run locally. Life was easier and less hectic back in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.

Anyways, don’t kid yourselves — these changes will be hard on a number of people in the industry too. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of them, and the

carriers as well, for years of fairly good service. And good luck, Karen (Publisher) on your next new job.

Cominco Gardens

“Oakley, you should wake up and smell the roses, don’t close down Cominco Gardens!”

Whether its significant dollars needed for Cominco Gardens or even larger sums for things like Marysville Arena, Civic Centre, Centre 64, Gymnastics Centre Conference Centre, Centennial Hall, City Hall, Playgrounds, Sewer and Water Lines, Storm drains, Sewage treatment plant, Mark Creek Dam reservoir, Cemeteries, roads, etc. They all have collective maintenance and renewal needs that exceed annual money available. How did this come to be? One reason is that time marches on and things wear out. Another reason is that we have a lot of assets for a community of 6700, and those assets need to be either refurbished or completely rebuilt now.

Our senior city management has concluded that we are short approximately one million dollars per year to effectively (and sustainably) deal with Kimberley’s infrastructure deficit. For example, old pipes in the ground keep breaking at a rate faster than we can afford to replace them.

Another (much larger!) example of this problem is the Kimberley Sewage Treatment plant. This facility is required to comply with provincial and federal regulatory requirements as authorized under permit (PE - 00148). In 2015, the BC Ministry of Environment inspection report indicates concerns with plant age and reliability and states that “this site is likely the highest risk facility in the East Kootenay region.”

(Urban Systems Sewage Treatment Opera-

tions Survey Report 2015). In addition, this site is also regulated under the Federal Waste-water Systems Effluent Regulation which is currently managed by Environment Canada. This means we need to stay compliant within the Federal Waste-water System Effluent regulations under the Federal Fisheries Act. Lack of compliance could result in legal action under the act.

Thus far, the City of Kimberley staff have managed to keep the facility in remarkable operating condition, but - in time - there will be a threshold where a permit amendment is not possible, and that moment will trigger the need for a new modern facility that will meet provincial and federal regulations for years to come. Cost of new sewage treatment plant is estimated at more than 35 million dollars. Where will the money come from? The city has a reserve setup for this, but it is far short of funds needed.

When making decisions on city council I always consider the basic foundation of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. The foundation of the pyramid consists of breathing, food, water, sleep, excretion, followed by self actualization on the top of the pyramid. I focus on meeting basic needs before looking higher up the pyramid of Maslow’s Hierarchy. Kimberley is now at the stage in history where much of it’s infrastructure has to be rebuilt, and its very difficult to juggle rebuilding significant community assets while maintaining the status quo on everything else.

When people tell me to “wake up and smell the roses”, my response will always be: I remain focused on the basic infrastructure needs of our community first, so that the citizens of Kimberley don’t have to “wake up and smell the sewage!”

Darryl Oakley Councillor City of Kimberley

“It’s just a leap to the left…”

I C a r o lyn G r a n t

have had a few days to ponder the events of the NDP convention last weekend, and a few days to mull over this leap to the left. Thomas Mulcair, who, yes, greatly disappointed during the last federal election campaign, is out and the party has agreed to at least debate the merits of the Leap Manifesto that steers them sharply in the direction of the far left.

Crazy. Not as crazy as the Trump/ Cruz/Clinton/Sanders show south of the border, but crazy nonetheless.

The Leap Manifesto was released last September during the election campaign.

“The time for this great transition is short.

Climate scientists have told us this is the decade to take decisive action to prevent catastrophic global warming. That means small steps will no longer suffice. So we need to leap,” it stated.

Among other things, the manifesto calls for shifting quickly away from fossil fuels so that Canada gets 100 per cent of its electricity from renewable resources within 20 years and is entirely weaned off fossil fuels by 2050.

No new infrastructure projects aimed at increasing extraction of non-renewable resources, including pipelines.

“Energy democracy,” in which energy sources are collectively controlled by communities instead of “profit-gouging” private companies.

That’s quite a... well, leap from the

more centrist, pragmatic policies of Thomas Mulcair.

The Leap Manifest was authored by well-respected, left-leaning author Naomi Kline and her husband Avi Lewis. Let that name Lewis resound in your head for a moment. Yes, he is the son of NDP icon, and perhaps one of the most respected Canadians on the international stage, Stephen Lewis.

And yes, there has always been a segment of the NDP that want the party to be more ideological, more grounded in leftist principles. But this is a significant shift and it is of course, causing major pain for Alberta Premier Rachel Notley.

After finally electing an NDP government in Alberta, a conservative bastion for so many years, the first thing the party she represents does is try to ban fossil fuels?

Notley is already being blamed for the financial problems in Alberta, which really are none of her doing since the crisis was well underway before she was elected, but this? This, I’m afraid dooms Notley to being a one-term wonder, an asterisk in history.

Remember that time when Oilbertans elected that left wing freak and she banned oil? That’s what they are going to remember about Notley, even though she argued vehemently against even considering the Leap Manifesto.

I am perplexed by the NDP. I truly am.

I admire their principles in so many ways,

but am vexed by the myriad ways they find to shoot themselves in the foot.

At its heart the Leap Manifest is correct.

Climate change is real and it is happening now. But there is also economic reality.

Canada is a nation with resourceextraction at the heart of its economy.

We are nowhere near the point where reliance on fossil fuels can be stopped without severe economic pain. It’s not going to happen in 20 years, with all fossil fuels being replaced by clean energy, and all the workers retrained and working in low-carbon jobs as the manifesto advises.

As for Mulcair, he too is doomed to the ash-heap of history, a career book-ended by a battle with charisma — his lack of it and his two significant rivals’ abundance of it. Mulcair took over the NDP after the death of leader Jack Layton, a man who single-handedly took the always third place party to Official Opposition status, through sheer force of personality and will. Mulcair would never match Layton’s personal charm, though his skills in the House were undisputed.

Still, leading the NDP into the latest federal campaign, and riding high in the polls, Mulcair ran into another wall of charisma name Justin Trudeau. And we all know what happened after that.

Ice head coach to help direct WHL U.S. Combine Taylo r R o cc a Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice head coach Luke Pierce has been named to the coaching staff for the Western Hockey League’s 11th U.S. Combine Camp.

Set to be hosted at the Anaheim Ice Facility in Anaheim, Calif., from April 15 to 17, the U.S. Combine Camp will provide an opportunity for American-born hockey players to suit up alongside other 2001-born prospects in a evaluation-type setting conducted by the WHL. “I’m very thankful to be given the opportunity to attend the combine and represent our organization and the WHL,” Pierce said Monday. “I look forward to seeing some of the top young talent in the U.S. and working

alongside the great coaches and staff the league has assembled to be there.”

Pierce, 32, was named to the coaching staff along with Lethbridge Hurricanes head coach Brent Kisio, TriCity Americans head coach Mike Williamson and Saskatoon Blades head coach/general manager Bob Woods.

The WHL made the announcement Monday afternoon.

Pierce recently wrapped up his rookie season as WHL bench boss after spending six campaigns with the Merritt Centennials of the British Columbia Hockey League.

The camp will pit four teams of American WHL prospects in two days of head-to-head game play following one day of practice time in Anaheim. Play-

ers will also sit in on an information session to learn more about the WHL and its scholarship program, before then participating in an Under Armour Nutrition Seminar.

Jamie LeBlanc and Colin Robinson, of the Swift Current Broncos and Kamloops Blazers, respectively, will join the coaching staff to provide equipment and athletic therapy services throughout the combine camp.

All of the WHL’s 22 member clubs are expected to be in attendance in some capacity to evaluate and scout players ahead of the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, scheduled for Thursday, May 5 in Calgary.

The U.S. Combine Camp is open to U.S. residents born in the year 2001 and currently

living in the western United States, including Alaska. There are currently more than 50 American-born players on WHL rosters, the majority of which previously attended U.S. Combine Camps.

Arguably the most recognizable name to come out of any WHL U.S. Combine Camp is Vancouver Canucks forward and former Medicine Hat Tiger Emerson Etem.

Ice Chips: Former Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart will represent Team Canada at the 2016 IIHF World Hockey Championships in Moscow, Russia, beginning May 6.

Reinhart, 20, recently completed his first full NHL campaign with the Buffalo Sabres, tallying 23 goals and 42 points in 79 games.

A Kimberley golfer has been named to BC Golf’s roster for the Morse Cup that teams will vie for in the 50th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in Seattle in July.

Jared du Toit, the 2015 B.C. Men’s Amateur Champion, who hails from Kimberley and competes in NCAA with the University of

Idaho, will join two other teammates hoping to be the next B.C. team to capture the Morse Cup since it was done on home soil at the Capilano Golf & Country Club in 2013.

A member of Golf Canada’s National Amateur Golf Squad, du Toit has been the number one ranked male amateur golfer in Canada almost exclusively since October of 2015.

Du Toit joins Vancouver’s Stuart MacDonald, who finished 2nd to du Toit in the Amateur, and SFU Clansmen Golf Team member, Chris Crisologo from Richmond.

MacDonald finished solo 2nd to Jared du Toit in the 2015 BC Men’s Amateur. He later added a T13th finish in the Canadian Men’s Amateur in the summer while joining du Toit as members of BC’s winning Willingdon Cup team in the jointly held competition.

MacDonald, who was named to the Team Canada National Amateur Squad for 2016, also tallied two top-10 finishes for his NCAA golf team at Purdue University, including a T6th at the Jack Nicklaus Invita-

tional in Ohio.

Crisologo was T7th in the 2015 BC Men’s Amateur. He recorded a T8th in the NCAA Division II Championship in 2015 and finished sixth overall at the NCAA national championships, being named GNAC Freshman of Year, All-Region First Team and NCAA All-American 2nd team.

Crisologo also just recently shared medallist honours in the Mustang Intercollegiate in Arizona.

The team Championship, consisting of PCGA member association teams only, will be conducted over the first 36 holes. The two low scores of three each day will be totalled to determine the winning association team of the Morse Cup competition and Trophy. In the event of a tie, co-champions will be declared.

The individual Championship is be conducted over 72 holes with no cut. In the event of a tie, the individual champion will be determined by a hole-byhole playoff immediately after the conclusion of play.

Jared du Toit has been the number one ranked male amateur golfer in Canada almost exclusively since October of 2015.

Warriors Spring Hockey Challenge Continues FOR T HE TOW NS MAN

Some of the best young hockey players in Cranbrook and Kimberley will be showcasing their abilities this weekend as the Kootenay Warriors Spring Hockey Challenge continues in Cranbrook.

“This past weekend, the 2006 Warriors played host to a 6-team tournament featuring teams from Red Deer, the Okanagan, southern Alberta, the West Kootenay and Calgary,” says Corey Spring, the program organizer. “The

final game featured some highly competitive, skilled hockey between the host Kootenay Warriors and the Southern Alberta Battle.”

After three tight periods of play, the Battle took first place with a

Grand Slam curling tickets on sale Friday, April 15 TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Ticket packages for the Grand Slam of Curling Tour Challenge will officially go on sale on Friday at the Western Financial box office.

The Tour Challenge, hosted by Western Financial Place and the Memorial Arena, will feature the top curling talent in the world with 30 mens teams and 30 women’s teams competing in two tiers of the tournament bracket.

Todd Pellerin, one of the organizers of the committee that brought the event to Cranbrook, said that the pace of the ticket package sales— $199 for the first 400— will be important to gauge community interest.

“There is a limited amount of full-package deals for this event and they go on sale April 15 to June 30 at $199 a ticket package,” Pellerin said. “But the most important thing is that ticket package includes free unlimited access to the Tier 2 event over at the Memorial Arena. It

includes free admission to the social house, which has a cover charge of $10 to get in.

So that’s all included with the package deal, so they’re actually getting closer to $300 in value for that $199.”

Pellerin adds that prices will increase after June 30. The package includes individual tickets for all games and draws in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 levels, including playoffs.

If ticket sales are brisk, that should help assuage any fears of hosting the largest curling event on the Grand Slam of Curling tour in a smaller town like Cranbrook.

“It helps the event organizers, too, because we now have our guaranteed sales in place,” Pellerin said. “We’re a small town trying to put on a big town event and we are required to have a certain amount of ticket sales in place, so if you plan on coming, buy the full-meal deal, get all your tickets and if you come close to the

event and you can’t make a certain day then you can sell your ticket for that game or that day because each draw will have an individual ticket.”

Weekend passes and individual tickets won’t go on sale until later this year.

On the volunteer front, Pellerin says volunteer directors will be touching base with their corps of volunteers over the next few weeks.

“Some of the groups will not being training until probably closer to the event, other groups may get called right away,” he said. “…volunteers are filling up fast, we had a great turnout at our last meeting and if you plan on volunteering, you’d better get your name in over the next couple of weeks, because it’s filling up fast,” Pellerin said.

Anyone wishing to volunteer can contact the curling club through their website at www. cranbrookcurlingcentre.com.

4-3 victory.

Between the two weekends, 11 out-oftown teams will be participating and Spring is encouraging the community to come down to Western Financial Place this weekend as the Warrior Challenge continues.

“This weekend we have our 2005 and 2007 teams hosting 4-team tournaments and it promises to be another weekend of fast paced, youth hockey,” said

Spring.

All games will be held at Western Financial Place starting at 2:30pm on Friday.

Game times are posted on the Kootenay Warriors website at www. kootenaywarriors.ca.

There are some fantastic raffle prizes up for grabs for spectators including an autographed Jordin Tootoo Red Wings jersey, Mason Raymond gloves and Connor McDavid photo. In addition,

there are vacation and golf packages and more.

“We would love to see the community come out and support our local players. These games feature the best of the best and will be the highest level of hockey at these age groups,” adds Spring.

The Kootenay Warriors Spring Hockey Program considers the best hockey players from the East Kootenay born in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and this year has

expanded to include a development 2008 division. The Warriors have been practicing together since the end of March and the emphasis of the Program is on skill development and leadership skills.

The Kootenay Warriors Program mission is to nurture individual and team hockey skill development, enhance character and life skills and provide exceptional coaching and structure.

Dawson Rutledge in Searchlight spotlight For the Townsman

Local singer/songwriter Dawson Rutledge is participating in the CBC Searchlight 2016 competition, a nation-wide search for Canada’s best up and coming musicians.

At just 18 years of age, Dawson has already released a CD titled “Today, Tonight, Tomorrow” which has been receiving positive reviews and radio play across Canada.

Dawson’s love for music began at an early age with guitar lessons and singing in choirs, although his passion truly grew under the direction of Evan Bueckert in the Music Program at Mount Baker Secondary School.

Throughout his high school years, Dawson was an integral part of every band, choir and music class available.

No stranger to the big stage, you may have seen Dawson in various productions and musicals at the Key City Theatre over the past few years, most notably as the romantic lead in Drowsy Chaperone in May 2015.

It was on that very

Barry Coulter photo

Inspired to pursue music as his career, Dawson has hardly taken a breath since. He has performed frequently at various local venues, at a festival in Arizona, and at the Ironwood Stage & Grill, a premier music venue in Calgary.

He has been invited to

perform at the Jersey Shore Festival in Seaside, NJ, this May, having been contacted directly by the same promoters who hosted the Arizona festival.

As a one-man band who switches between his acoustic and electric guitars, plays a kick drum and tambourine set-up with his feet and sings with a beautiful tone, Rutledge is certainly a dynamic and riveting performer to watch.

Singing both originals

and cover songs, Dawson can entertain a crowd for a three full hours. With over two dozen original songs to his credit, Dawson is eager to record another CD and keen to have industry professionals assist him this time around.

The Searchlight competition is a possible avenue to make contacts in order to help him pursue his dreams. Dawson Rutledge is one of 68 acts in the Interior & Northern BC Region who are being considered at this time. 10 of those acts will progress into the next round, nine chosen by a panel of experts and the 10th spot determined by fan voting.

Dawson has entered Searchlight with his fan-favourite song, “Mysterious Woman.”

Please give your support and vote for him at www. cbcmusicsearchlight.ca/ entries/70297 - voting can be done once per day until the round closes on April 20. Dawson would like to thank the community for their amazing support throughout his journey so far.

Joining Bourne on said East Kootenay mini-tour is Nelson BC’s own singer-songwriter extraordinare ALAN KIRK, whose blend of jazz, folk, and blues styles normally see him helming his own crackerjack unit, the Alan Kirk Band; here he’ll be strutting his stuff in a rare solo setting. Kirk

Creston Valley Bird Fest a sure sign of Spring TANNA PAT TERSON

It’s springtime and the birds are singing about the 4th Creston Valley Bird Fest May 13,14, & 15, a celebration of the birds, the art, and the agriculture of the Creston Valley.

Guest speakers are Jakob Dulisse from Nelson, Gary Davidson from Nakusp, and Glynnis Hood from Camrose, Alberta. Wildlife biologist and photographer, Jakob Dulisse, has studied the birds, frogs, toads, and other creatures of the Columbia Basin extensively and given many presentations throughout the Kootenays. Gary Davidson, naturalist and wildlife photographer, returns from a winter in Panama with a plethora of bird photos for our enjoyment.

Glynnis Hood, originally from Creston, now teaches Environmental Science at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus.

Monte Comeau, award-winning Wild Bird and Nature photographer, will be giving away his secrets at the photography workshop. Monte’s photo of loons, called “hitchhiker,” was selected for the cover of Nature Canada out of 4000 entries. (www.comeauphoto.ca) The festival begins Friday night with a “meet and greet,” a photography display, and a buffet followed by guided field trips to three different locations to see and hear evening birds, frogs, and bats.

On Saturday and Sunday mornings, eight birding experts will guide tours throughout the Wildlife Management

NEWS Counterfeit greenbacks popping up in Cranbrook

For the Townsman

Cranbrook has seen an influx of counterfeit American money and have located the people and printer responsible.

Over the past few days Cranbrook RCMP has had numerous complaints of counterfeit

American money being used at different businesses around town.

A suspicious delivery person reported to the RCMP that he felt he had been the recipient of counterfeit money and was able to provide useful information to

the RCMP. The information provided led the RCMP to a motel in town where a man and woman were located. Also located was a large amount of counterfeit American money and a printer used in making the

money.

Both occupants were arrested for charges including Possession of Counterfeit Money, Uttering Counterfeit Money and Obstruc-

tion. The 27 year old man also has outstanding warrants from Alberta and Saskatchewan for Uttering and Producing Counterfeit Money. The 35 year old

woman has outstanding warrants from Alberta for Uttering Counterfeit Money. Both are residents of Alberta.

Cranbrook RCMP is asking any businesses in

the area who may have had any suspected counterfeit money given to them over the past week to contact the Cranbrook RCMP.

ducers to aircraft and forest companies.

Clark wasted little time setting the political hook for the opposition NDP, whose federal wing debated the anti-trade “Leap Manifesto” at its convention in Alberta last weekend.

She compared that to U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign against trade deals.

“It’s an argument we’ve seen south of the border, and now it’s an argument that’s contaminated the Canadian political debate as well,” Clark said.

The B.C. Liberals then forced debate on a motion to support the TPP in the legislature.

NDP leader John Horgan quoted sources including the CEO of Ford of Canada and a former CEO of Blackberry Canada saying the agreement is bad for the Canadian car and hightech industries.

Horgan noted that federal hearings on the TPP are being held next week. Freeland has signed the agreement on behalf of Canada, but it requires ratification by governments in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and other Pacific Rim countries before it takes effect.

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce says fish and seafood are currently subject to 15 per cent duty in Japan and Malaysia, up to 34 per cent in Vietnam and up to five per cent in New Zealand. Beef, fresh and frozen vegetables, fresh cherries and fresh and frozen blueberries also face tariffs in Asian countries that would be eliminated by the TPP.

Premier Christy Clark proclaimed her government’s support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership Wednesday

with a campaign-style event touting the benefits of removing tariffs on seafood and other B.C. exports.

The main example has been the practice of undisclosed shadow-flipping, where the home is resold to other, different buyers than the original one prior to closing – unbeknownst to the seller – allowing intermediaries to extract profits and realtors to collect more commissions, while ultimately driving up prices.

Rogers noted realtors are expected to solely defend their client’s best interests at all times and suggested the current ability of realtors to represent both sides of a transaction creates risk that advantage may be taken of some consumers.

Her report indicates the Real Estate Council of B.C. should get more enforcement tools to regulate realtors, and that all contract assignments be reported directly to the council.

She said penalties for unethical behaviour must be increased significantly – potentially with additional commissions and profits confiscated – and those penalties must apply to

Premier Christy Clark had previously promised the province will deliver reforms to take the profit out of shady practices.

Rogers also flags “blurred lines” between the Real Estate Council of B.C. and industry realtor associations, which have taken on quasi-regulatory functions.

Real Estate Council of B.C. chair Marylou Leslie said the council fully supports the advisory group’s work.

Rogers’ advisory group is aiming to deliver a final report and recommendations in early June.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to say and share. Your delivery and style of communication is reflected in how well others listen to you. Express your vivacious personality when expressing yourself. People in general will be more attentive. Tonight: Go into weekend mode.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might have every intention of walking out the door ASAP, but someone or some issue might hold you back. Could it be that you would rather be at home? In that environment, you often become more creative and intuitive. Do what you need to do in order to be centered.

Tonight: Indulge a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out for another person and express your caring. Your ability to move through a problem emerges.

Keep dialoguing with those who are in the know. You will learn a lot, and you will feel far more on target than you have in a while. A flirtatious conversation needs to happen without others around. Tonight: Say what you think.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your ability to converse and get to the bottom of a problem will be highlighted. Consider your options, especially concerning your funds.

Communication soars between you and another person. Listen to his or her suggestions. You might want to get to know this person better. Tonight: Do some spring shopping.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Beam in more of what you want.

Others like the way you think and your approach to life. You might find that you not only have an admirer, but also someone who imitates your style and sometimes repeats your words. Don’t get irritated; be flattered. Tonight: It’s your call.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Much could be happening behind the scenes. You also might choose not to share this information with others. Staying mum might be hard, so hard that you pick up the phone to contact a confidant. You can count on this friend honoring your request not to discuss this matter with anyone else. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Eye the long term and what is important. Think twice about a personal matter and where you are heading. Be more direct in how you

Tundra

deal with a key issue; be willing to discuss where you might feel vulnerable. A close associate or loved one has a lot to share. Tonight: Be a duo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to rethink a personal matter more carefully, yet another responsibility or person demands instant attention. You have no choice but to handle the issue at hand. Pull back and rethink a decision with greater care. Others turn to you for leadership in a jam.

Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to change course and handle a personal matter directly. However, if you get too much into the story, you might miss a major point. That experience happens to you often. Listen to an offer that heads in your direction that might involve some new knowledge or a new experience. Tonight: Buy tickets to a concert.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The cards are not stacked in your favor. It appears that a partner or associate has what you might wish for. Let this person deal with an issue rather than you. Sometimes letting others handle your responsibilities helps you not only get past a

problem, but also helps others understand what responsibilities you meet regularly. Tonight: Be a duo.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Let someone who seems more vested handle today’s issues, especially if personalities are involved and there is a personal element running through it. You will be pleased with what a close loved one offers you. Understand the limits that a situation naturally imposes on you.

Tonight: Accept another person’s invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Face facts. See how much you need to get done. You will be able to understand what you must do before you socialize or get together with a bunch of friends. Share your boundaries with your friends, and they will understand if you join them later. Tonight: Just say yes.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a middle school student, and I signed up for drama at the beginning of the semester. I’ve been working really hard at it.

The problem is, I failed one of my classes (out of seven). Because of that, I am not allowed to participate in drama. I have a speaking role with 17 lines and I don’t think they can replace me in such a short time.

This really upsets me, especially because in the high school I’ll be attending, you only need to pass four classes to participate in drama. What’s worse is that they didn’t give me or my parents any warning about how close I was to failing. I did know that I wasn’t doing well in that class, and I was trying to bring up my grade. But I have anxiety issues and get panic attacks when I try to talk to teachers or people of authority (even my mom).

My parents emailed the school with a complaint, but I was wondering what you think I should do. -- Was Ready for Showtime in New Hampshire Dear New Hampshire: We wish we could help you, but schools routinely penalize students by prohibiting them from doing special activities if they fail a required class. (It happens to football players and other athletes, too.) Such consequences are how schools hold students accountable.

You can try talking to the drama teacher to see if he or she would intervene on your behalf, and you also can talk to the teacher who gave you the failing grade, explaining that you were working hard to improve and didn’t realize this would happen. If you have anxiety about talking to authority figures, try imagining that you are in a play and this is what your character does. It’s good practice. You also can ask your parents to speak to these teachers directly, instead of leaving messages.

But if this is the policy of the school, there isn’t much you can do. Consider it a learning experience, and keep it in mind for high school, when you can try out for drama and be motivated to put your grades first. We know you’ll do better.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letter signed, “Is This Normal,” whose girlfriend bounces her 10-year-old son on her lap for 30 minutes.

Your response was not strong enough.

This is child abuse. This mother should immediately be reported to the Department for Children and Family Services in their local community. The entire family can then receive the help they need, and this child can be protected.

The report can be anonymous and can be done by calling the Department directly or by notifying the local police.

Please tell “Normal” to take the steps to protect this child from further abuse, and also to protect his young sister from having to watch her brother be abused on a daily basis. -- Social Worker Dear Social Worker: Many readers suggested that this mother is a child molester. Perhaps so. But we think she is simply misguided and has gotten into a bad situation that she doesn’t recognize or know how to fix. Whatever the case, we agree that the situation must be dealt with immediately.

Through prayer…

T

ANASTASIA BARTLET T

his Lent it has been impressed upon me that my formal prayer life could definitely be improved. I’m referring to prayer outside of church, a time of personal prayer during the day where I focus on communicating with God. Over the years, my personal prayer life had ebbed and flowed in keeping with one of the more basic natures of my personality. I am a binger known for binging on activities like exercise, crafting, and netflix, some binges lasting for days, others for weeks or years.

After all, I binged on raising children for 25 years. There have been some non-binging activities in my life; attending church, writing, loving my family, but a formal personal prayer life outside of church hasn’t been one of them.

Our priest paraphrased one of the church fathers last Sunday, ‘When we pray we are lighter’, he said. My mind immediately wander off into word associations and jumped to prayer as a weight-loss program! After scolding myself, I began to explore the various meanings of light, enlighten, lighter.

Depression can make me feel like I am looking at life from the bottom of a pit, feeling so burdened, I can never climb out. Anger darkens my reason and clouds my soul as I focus on only the object of my anger. Remembrance of past wrongs is even worse, churning me up inside, reopening old wounds as arguments resurface, justifying my resentment and unforgiveness while darkening my soul even more. Someone once said, ‘hanging onto anger is like drinking rat poison and expecting the rat to die’. Prayer can help me let go of the anger.

Then there are other concerns about family, friends, money etc, etc.

There are so many things beyond my control which cause me to worry, to fret and to feel anxious. Sometimes the heaviness can feel so great, I feel incapable of doing anything except lying in bed with my head under the covers.

“There is nothing more worthwhile than to pray to God and to converse with him, for prayer unites us with God as his companions. As our bodily

eyes are illuminated by seeing the light, so in contemplating God our soul is illuminated by him. Of course the prayer I have in mind is no matter of routine, it is deliberate and earnest.

It is not tied down to a fixed timetable; rather it is a state which endures by night and day.” St. John Chrysostom The goal of prayer should be an ongoing conversation with God. A quick prayer in the morning is like kissing my husband and asking him if he slept well. A fixed time of prayer to God is like sitting down and having a formal discussion with my husband.

During the rest of the day, I can still talk to God, like the random conversations I have with people whenever I see them. These are prayers which link me to God throughout the day making me more aware of His presence around me and giving me pause for every decision I make.

Fixed time for prayer is like planned family time or date night, an opportunity to focus on another and strengthen the relationship. Continuous prayer keeps the relationship going.

“Prayer is the light of the soul, giving us true knowledge of God. It is a link mediating between God and man. By prayer the soul is borne up to heaven and in a marvelous way embraces the Lord. This meeting is like that of an infant crying on its mother, and seeking the best of milk. The soul longs for its own needs and what it receives is better than anything to be seen in the world.”

St. John Chrysostom: Homily 6 On Prayer Through prayer, I can give my burdens to God and be lighter in spirit.

Through prayer, I can forgive ancient wrongs and light can enter my soul.

Through prayer I can draw closer to God and be enlightened when making decisions.

So prayer is a weight loss program if we consider the weight to be all the stress and worry we carry unnecessarily. This lent, I need to lean to lighten up and pray more.

Mexican experts find early burial in 1st colonial cathedral Associated Press MEXICO CITY - Archaeologists have found a massive stone slab covering the tomb of one of the first priests in Mexico following the 1521 European conquest, a grave sunk into the floor of what appears to be an Aztec temple.

The discovery suggests the extent to which the Spanish conquerors re-used the temples of the Aztec capital in the first years after they conquered it.

The massive slab was uncovered in recent days on the site of the now-disappeared first cathedral of Mexico City, yards from the current cathedral that replaced it in the 1620s.

The nearly 2-meter-long slab was found sunk into the same level of the stucco floor of what appears to be an Aztec temple. The cathedral was simply built over the temple and apparently used the same floor.

Downtown office vacancies in Calgary hit 33-year high, real estate firm says Ian Bickis Canadian Press

CALGARY - The hollowing out of Calgary’s core has hit its highest level in more than 30 years and the situation in what was once the thriving financial pulse of the energy industry is likely to worsen, a commercial real estate firm says.

In an update released Wednesday, CBRE Canada estimates the city’s downtown office vacancy rate was 20.2 per cent in the first quarter ended March 31, almost twice as high as the 11.8 per cent vacancy rate in the same period a year ago.

Greg Kwong, regional managing director at CBRE, said it’s the first time since 1983 that more than one fifth of office space was available in downtown Calgary, and the city is on track to hit a new re-

cord above the 22 per cent rate.

“It’s going to get a little bit worse before it gets better,” said Kwong. “Unless oil jumps back to $80 a barrel, I don’t think we’ll go down to the teens.”

He said he has been surprised by how quickly Calgary’s market has reversed from the 2009-2014 trend, when it had the lowest vacancies and highest rental rates in Canada.

“It was amazing how robust the market was in November 2014, and literally within four or five months it was amazing how ugly it got here,” said Kwong.

“Having gone through a recession in Toronto and a few of them here in Calgary, this one has been very swift.”

Calgary’s office market has been hit hard as oil and gas companies continue to cut jobs

and consolidate office space due to low crude prices.

The city is now an outlier in Canada’s downtown office market, with Toronto’s vacancies up only slightly in the quarter to 5.3 per cent, while Vancouver’s dropped to 8.8 per cent and Montreal’s was down to 10.8 per cent, according to CBRE. Vacancy rates also don’t account for the unknown amount of near-empty office space that companies haven’t tried to sublease because there’s no market for them, said Kwong.

“You’ll see some buildings where there are five people on a 40,000-square foot floor,” he said.

The downtown core also has about three million square feet of office space under construction, but Kwong

said most of that won’t come onto the market for a couple of years.

The extra space could further push up vacancies, but Kwong said another slight increase won’t change the market.

“When you’re talking two or three per cent it’s the same thing,” said Kwong. “It sucks.”

With rental rates down 28 per cent in a year, prices have dropped to an average

of $20.97 per square foot for top-tier class A office space from $29.23 in the same quarter a year ago, CBRE said.

Not all commercial real estate in the city has been as affected though. Suburban office space held steady from the last quarter, and the industrial real estate market is still robust because it’s not tied to oil and gas, Kwong said.

B.C. news and notes C anadian Press

Cause of death unknown for killer whale found dead in inlet The Department of Fisheries and Oceans it’s not known what caused the death of a killer whale found floating in Ezperanza Inlet on Vancouver Island.

It says a necropsy on the male southern resident killer whale was found floating in the water on March 30.

The whale was believed to be about 20 years old and was in an advanced state of decomposition.

A scientist with the Center for Whale Research in Washington says the whale nicknamed Nigel was satellite tagged in February by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S., and that’s how it was identified.

Man and woman charged after alleged kidnapping Two people are facing charges in connection with a kidnapping investigation in Langley.

RCMP say the two were arrested after a man suffering minor injuries managed to get to a store and ask for help.

Investigators say the incident is believed to be related to an allegedly unpaid debt, and the victim was targeted.

A Langley woman is charged with unlawful confinement, kidnapping and assault while a Surrey man is charged with unlawful confinement.

Officials say be careful of high water levels near river People are being urged to be extra cautious near the Okanagan River due to high water levels.

Officials say the spring snowmelt is adding to a deep and fast-flowing current in the river, and people are warned to keep a close eye on children and pets near the banks.

This year’s snowpack is expected to cause higher runoff from Okanagan Lake into the river for the next several weeks.

River flows between Okanagan Lake and Osoyoos Lake are currently above normal and are expected to remain high throughout spring.

Police ask for witness video after pedestrian killed in downtown eastside Vancouver police are checking for any video that may have captured an incident this morning that left an elderly pedestrian dead.

Investigators say an 89-year-old woman was crossing a street in the Downtown Eastside when she was struck by a slow-moving semi-truck and trailer attempting to make a left turn.

Police say the truck driver remained at the scene and has been co-operative.

While it is still early in the investigation, police say it’s believed the driver entered the intersection on a green light.
