City to reduce asking price for old fire hall TRE VOR CR AWLEY

City council has voted to reduce the market price of the old fire hall in an effort to spur activity to help the building sell faster.

Currently priced at $349,000, a reduced sale point will be in place by the end of the week after consultations with the city’s real estate agent.

Council passed a number of bylaws on Monday evening aimed at amending the Official Community Plan to rezone the property for commercial use.

The Fire Hall has been on the market since July 2015, going up for sale after council held and in-camera vote to put the building on the market earlier that year.

The building served as Cranbrook’s fire hall since it was first built in 1929. A new fire hall was constructed on 2nd St. and opened in April 2011.

Cranbrook’s historic old fire hall on 11th Avenue, currently unoccupied, is looking for someone to love.

Since 2011, the old fire hall has served various uses, such as storage for city space.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the city and the CDAC in June 2014 around the potential future use

of the former Fire Hall No. 1 as a permanent facility and arts centre.

In a presentation to city council in March 2015, CDAC president Sioban Staplin said the organization had a plan to turn the firehall into an arts and culture

centre with educational facilities and a gallery.

If the downtown location of the fire hall isn’t to your liking, there’s always the Armond Theatre, which is up for sale for the low, low price of $254,000.

Patio patter Council debates draft seasonal patio bylaw T RE VO R C R AW LEY

Cranbrook is forging ahead with a a proposal for outdoor summer patios in the downtown core as city staff presented a draft bylaw to council on Monday evening.

Limiting liability to the city, affordability

and consistency were key objectives laid out by city planners in the draft bylaw, which passed first reading at the council table.

“The bylaw includes specific sections for definitions, application requirements, fees, security, insurance and

indemnification, general requirements for patios and additional criteria for constructed on-street patios, the term and renewal, and offence and cancellation provisions,” read a staff report.

Local NEWS The Lawns of Summer

Phase One watering restrictions now in effect For the Townsman

As of Tuesday, the City of Cranbrook has returned to its Phase One watering restrictions following last summer’s steady high temperatures and lack of regular rainfall, which ushered in phase two watering restrictions last August.

Even numbered properties can now water their lawns and gardens on Mondays,

Thursdays and Saturdays, while odd numbered properties can water on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays with no outdoor watering allowed on Wednesdays as per the City’s Outdoor Water Management policy. These restrictions are not only for watering lawns and gardens, but for all outdoor water use including: washing of vehicles, boats, campers, RV’s, windows and

the filling of hot tubs and pools.

The Phillips Reservoir is currently at capacity which means the City has a full store of water available to residents; however it is important to recognize that conditions can change quickly.

“Residents need to understand that without a regular amount of rainfall through the summer to help replen-

ish our reservoir, we can very quickly get into the situation where we need to go back to phase two restrictions, reducing the number of watering days again,” says Chris Zettel, Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook.

“The biggest issue we will have is not necessarily water quantity, but water quality,” says Joe McGowan, Director of Public Works. “As water

levels drop, the amount of water surface exposed to sunlight increases and the water temperature goes up which promotes plant and algae growth which can change the taste and the overall quality of our drinking water. Reducing the number of watering days during the summer allows us to store more water for a longer period and allow for better quality water overall.”

• East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council: $206,300.

• Regional District of East Kootenay: $23,000.

These are two of 31 grants, totalling $1,727,000, that are being distributed throughout the prov-

ince in 2016 to local governments, regional invasive species committees and the Invasive Species Council of B.C. This funding will assist with these groups’ ongoing activities and also support the objectives of the provincial Inva-

sive Plant Program.

“Invasive plants, noxious weeds – whatever you know them by, they are a serious threat to our environment and economy,” Bennett said.

“Controlling them takes a big effort and I’m proud that our government is doing its part.”

The grants will be used to help raise public awareness of invasive plant concerns, survey invasive plant populations and actively treat

high-priority sites to control the spread of these destructive plants.

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into British Columbia from other areas. They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage.

Some pose a health risk to people (e.g. skin irritation). Invasive plants can also disrupt natural ecosystems, reduce biodiversity, increase soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops.

This funding is in addition to the $935,000 already allocated by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations for invasive plant control and management in 2016-17.

“Our Public Works staff rigorously monitors both the reservoir levels regularly and the water quality to the standards of the Provincial Drinking Water Protection Act. We will provide you with updates on a regular basis about the water levels to make sure everyone has ample lead time should additional

watering restrictions need to be put in place,” Zettel adds.

Continued from page 1 The proposed bylaw outlines options for seasonal patios on city sidewalks or on-street parking spaces, as businesses would be allowed one parallel parking space at $300 or three angle parking spaces at $900 a season.

From a fee standpoint, it will cost $50 for an application and $25 for a renewal. The city is charging a dollar per square metre of space on a sidewalk where seasonal patio infrastructure isn’t removed at the end of the day.

There must be 1.5 metres of sidewalk space to allow for pedestrian traffic and must be fenced off, barring a few exceptions for smaller bistro tables lining up against the outside walls of a business on the sidewalk.

“What we did in the bylaw was create an exemption to allow for smaller patios, without naming some of the coffeeshops and small eateries where there’s only a couple of tables on the sidewalk, so we didn’t want to make them have to put a guardrail around it because there’s not enough room necessarily on the sidewalk,” said Rob Veg, a city planner, who fielded questions from mayor and council during the discussion.

“But the exemption is they don’t have to do a guard rail if it’s adjacent to the building.”

There are options to have a constructed sea-

sonal patio that would require building permits, must be free standing, wheelchair-accessible and have a one-metre high guard rail.

The sale of liquor on outdoor patios that isn’t enclosed by guard rails is prohibited as restricted by the Liquor Control Branch. Outdoor cooking, such as barbecuing on an outdoor patio, is also prohibited under the bylaw.

Under questioning from councillors, Veg noted that it would up to the city’s legal counsel to determine if the bylaw could be varied to allow for one-off events such as barbecuing on an outdoor patio during Sam Steele Days.

The bylaw also prohibits advertising on patio structures, as Veg noted that planners were hoping to avoid gaudy beer banners or flags from popping up.

From here, the bylaw will go to a public hearing at the Manual Training Centre on May 11 from 6-8 p.m. The Downtown Business Association will also be counted on to provide feedback on the language.

“You guys in the planning department did an awesome job piecing this together from the other municipalities and I’m excited about it,” said Councillor Isaac Hockley. “I can’t wait for it to build some culture in our downtown core, so I’m excited about it.”

Low kokanee numbers prompts early closure on Kootenay Lake Barry Coulter

The Province of B.C. has announced an early closure to the Kootenay Lake fishery, due to low numbers of kokanee salmon.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) said in a press release Tuesday that effective May 1, 2016, the kokanee sport fishery on the upper west arm of Kootenay Lake will be catch and release only for the remainder of the fishing season. Sport fishing will remain open, but anglers will have to release any kokanee they catch.

Kokanee are landlocked sockeye salmon and are second only to rainbow trout as the most popular game fish in B.C. The low kokanee population in Kootenay Lake has been a concern for the past couple of years. A number of public meetings have been held, but there is no firm consensus on the reason for the dwindling numbers of fish.

This spring, anglers landed fewer kokanee than usual in this part of the lake, which could be an indication that the overall numbers are down. The closure is a precaution aimed to

The Province is trying to boost dwindling numbers of kokanee salmon in Kootenay Lake. support long-term kokanee conservation efforts.

Meanwhile, the

Province is concerned with kokanee numbers throughout Kootenay Lake. Last fall, biologists

counted 18,000 spawning kokanee in the main body of the lake and its tributaries, the lowest

number since the annual count started in 1979. Scientists estimate that the fish laid 4.26

million eggs, down from a high of 265 million eggs in 1981. The kokanee fishery in the main lake remains closed.

The Province has put together a team of experts to fast-track the creation of a five-year action plan to guide the recovery of Kootenay Lake Kokanee stocks.

The plan is currently being finalized and will be released shortly.

B.C. worked with First Nations, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and the BC Wildlife Federation to put together the advisory team and develop the plan.

Local trekkers to return to Himalayan nation One year later, help still needed in earthquake ravaged Nepal C AROLYN GRANT

This week marks the one year anniversary of the massive earthquake that rocked Nepal last April 25.

And despite worldwide fundraising efforts, Nepal remains a country in need, as many are still homeless and in need of basic items.

As soon as the earthquake hit last year, East Kootenay fundraising began. A fundraiser,

reaching out from one mountain town to another, was held at Centennial Hall on May 10 and raised $5,000. These funds were sent to victims in the Langtang, Tsum and Manaslu areas.

A group of local trekkers including Bobbie Seifried, Veronica Paauw, and Shauna Jimenez trekked to these areas in November 2015.

No trespassing on Teck lands C H R I S N E W EL

Spring has sprung and with it the snow has melted in the flatlands near Kimberley.

Every year there are areas around Kimberley that locals access in order to search for deer and elk shed antlers from the previous fall.

The local RCMP detachment would like to advise and remind everyone that are large majority of these lands are considered Private Property and people on those lands without permission could be held liable and charged under the Trespass Act. Teck, owns a large

majority of the lands and takes seriously their role to protect the land they operate and anyone accessing those lands. Being old mining lands, there is significant risk to anyone who may be on those lands.

Teck has a number of security measures in place to deter and identify subjects who may trespassing.

Police would like to remind the public that contravening the Trespass Act is an arrestable offence and the accused would be required to attend court.

Please respect all private lands.

“We were guided by some of the local fund-recipients of Tsum and Nubri areas, and were able to witness some of the repairs and upgrades being made within these heavily damaged areas,” Jimenez said. “Lucky for these trekkers, vital bridge and trail repairs were finalized the day before we crossed into the highest areas.

“Earthquake victims expressed gratitude both for the generous funds sent by EK residents, and for the soli-

darity between mountains folks, expressed by trekking back into their areas as soon as possible. The locals said that this encouraged them to believe that trekkers will return to their areas and that their lives will return to normal in these damaged areas of rural Nepal. They also appreciated the opportunity to share their stories of survival and determination with mountains allies.”

THINGS GOT A LITTLE OUT OF HAND

Fish Lake: A gripping take of survival

It

is difficult to remember that winter trip (almost) to Fish Lake so long ago. I find it hard to recall all that snow that dumped on us when we took those high school kids with us that weekend. It happened so long ago that I believe that some of those teenagers are now grand-parents, two of my accompanying teachers, Paul and Big Paul, are no longer with us and I am over what must be at least a couple of hills We didn’t do anything truly crazy but things did get a little out of hand.

We drove the gang north towards Canal Flats then up the Whiteswan Road then into the Lussier River. There was nothing hare-brained about that; we’d done it often enough so, loaded with what was far too much food, sleeping gear and either skis or snow-shoes and accompanied by three large dogs, we set off along the track; the going was tough.

It is inevitable that things will go amiss; ski bindings broke and skins fell off, snowshoes came apart and all of the participants moved at different speeds. The chaperones felt like sheep-dogs and temporary repair men. We spread out along that snowy trail for half a mile or so.

Then the snow-storm joined the fun.

Needless to say, we didn’t get to Fish

Lake. Some of the party barely made halfway before we guides opted to turn around and retreat.

But someone had spotted a broken down shack not far from the trail so it was decided to try to weather the storm there but, first, we had to round up those who were galloping ahead, their head-lights dancing like fire-flies in the forest. I think we found them all. No frantic parents came after our blood.

The night in that collapsed cabin was hilarious.

The place was too small for Peter all of us but we squeezed Warland in. The stove fought with us for a while but then condescended to stay alight. One of the girls with us was a genius of sorts because she manufactured a filling meal from a packet of soup and her self-manufactured dumplings whilst everyone else rummaged in his or her pack for extras.

If any reader has ever camped in a small space with a large dog, he or she will recall that dogs spread out and so there was little space for the rest of us to lie down and maybe get some sleep, but most did. I, unfortunately, being the oldest person present got the call of nature in the night and it was delicate performance tip-toeing through the mass of sleeping bodies, but I managed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dawn was extremely late and it was snowing hard the next day as we struggled out to the two vehicles which, despite our combined efforts and desperation, would not budge. Even the 4-by -4 stubbornly stayed put, half buried as it was.

It is very vague in ancient mind but, somehow, I found myself volunteering to go for help with two sturdy lads accompanying me. We set off in knee deep, wet snow and I wondered what hope we would have in encountering anybody; it was a Sunday and there wasn’t likely to be anyone working but, after a very long walk we heard the magical sound of a chain-saw working; we hurried.

That solo logger was a little taken aback by our arrival out of the bush but, whatever other plans he had for that day, he dropped them and drove the three of us to Canal Flats — civilization!

When we dropped into the logging camp and asked for deliverance we discovered that one of the girls with us had a father who was a senior officer in said logging company and, when he heard that his daughter might be in peril, he got things moving. In no time at all a snowplough was on its way and we were out of there.

It is interesting to note that surviving students still say that that trip was a load of fun and thank me for helping to instigate it.

Bandits tryouts in books as boys of summer near return Cranbrook Bandits tryouts concluded Monday night, leaving head coach Paul Mrazek with plenty of difficult decisions Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

One couldn’t have asked for a better spring evening to kick up dust on the diamond.

The sun was shining and the sky glistening Monday night as Cranbrook Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek pounded baseball after baseball into the dirt, sending his young hopefuls from left to right, forehand to backhand, fielding ground balls at shortstop.

It was the first drill of the night and while simple, it represented so much as the Bandits rounded out their second and final night of tryouts at Confederation Park in Cranbrook.

With the American Legion Baseball season lingering ever so near, Mrazek tested the fielding abilities of 14 youngsters, intent on finding the best fits to fill out a squad that is expected to have 11 returning players from the group that made a second consecutive trip to the Montana State B championship last season.

“I’m always excited for the start of the season to get back out there on the field,” Mrazek said. “I’m excited about taking the team another step, to another level. I think we’re ready for it now. We’ve been building slowly and now we’ve got a really good foundation.

“I like what I saw [during tryouts]. There was a wide age range, some of them are just a little on the younger

side and still need to grow and get stronger to be able to play.”

While a few key pieces have graduated and moved on from Mrazek’s program, the expectation remains to find a way back to the state championship once again in 2016. The Bandits returned to the state title match in 2015, falling just short of a repeat performance after having won it all in 2014.

American Legion Baseball clubs are permitted to carry 18 players on the active roster, but Mrazek has emphasized his wish to carry 16 players on the Bandits’ active roster, with an additional two to four players on the team’s practice squad.

With 14 energetic youngsters — aged 13 to 17 — on the fly Monday night, there’s difficult decision-making in Mrazek’s future as he works to iron out which players will be best fit to take up full-time residency in the Bandits dugout at Confederation Park.

Mrazek and his coaching staff were set to review evaluations Tuesday evening, with offers to be extended to players Wednesday. The hope is to have the active roster ironed out by Thursday.

“Some of these play-

ers are going to have to decide whether or not they want to fill the role that is available right now as a full-time player,” Mrazek said. “We’ve got 11 returning players, with only one in his second year. The rest have three or more years [experience]. It’s a pretty solid lineup.

“As they progress, all the positions are up for grabs. A new player, if they progress and they’re playing well, they’re going to get more and more time.”

In particular, Mrazek has five returning outfielders that he is more than confident in. An area of need he hopes to address via fresh faces is his pitching rotation.

Whether it’s a mature, strong kid who can handle the rigour of entering the starting rotation, or someone better fit for a middle reliever-type role, depth on the mound can’t be taken for granted.

While it’s a big part of the evaluation, raw ability isn’t all Mrazek weighs when it comes to hand-picking his crew.

“Physically, can they play at this level? The arm strength has to be there,” Mrazek said.

“The mechanics have to be at a certain level — hitting the ball, fielding the ball, throwing the ball. Attitude is another [key] and where can that player fit in right now.

“We’re taking a look at where they would get their playing time…

They have to get innings in for them to develop throughout the year.”

Cranbrook Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek (second from right) explains the next drill to his group of hopefuls during the final day of tryouts at Confederation Park Monday evening.

With 11 returners and 14 hopefuls, Mrazek has a relative bounty of ball players to choose from when compared with years past, and it’s a good problem to have as far as he is concerned.

In fact, the Bandits program has grown to such a degree, Mrazek is in the process of gauging interest and putting designs on a Junior Ban-

dits program with eyes on next season.

“In 2008 we played 40 games with 10 players and I just had 14 guys tryout and I’ve got 11 returning [this year],” Mrazek said. “Baseball is getting better in Cranbrook. It’s growing. The Bandits program is better and with this much interest from younger players, we will be looking at a junior team next

year.”

With only enough room to carry five more active roster players, there will be a significant handful left disappointed this season, though Mrazek does intend to keep another two to four players on the practice roster.

The Bandits open the 2016 American Legion Baseball season May 14 and 15 when they head

south of the border for action in Libby, Mont.

From there, the team returns to Cranbrook for its home opener Saturday, May 21 (1 p.m.), hosting Trail for a doubleheader at Confederation Park.

Former college football star Johnny Manziel indicted on misdemeanour charges Nomaan Merchant Associated Press

DALLAS - Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on a misdemeanour charge stemming from a domestic violence complaint by his ex-girlfriend.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and Texas A&M star was accused by ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley of hitting her and threatening to kill her during a night out on Jan. 30. Crowley said in court documents Manziel struck her so hard that she temporarily lost hearing in one ear.

The indictment accuses Manziel of striking Crowley and “forcing (her) into a vehicle and against a vehicle dashboard.”

Manziel faces a charge of misdemeanour assault related to family violence, which carries up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Dallas police referred the case to a grand jury in February, asking the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office to present the misdemeanour assault case.

Manziel was cut by the Browns in March after two tumultuous

seasons marked by inconsistent play and offthe-field headlines about his partying and drinking, including one stint in rehab. His future in the NFL is uncertain at best, and might be nonexistent without a second stint in treatment that two agents have demanded. The league also has tougher standards regarding domestic violence cases after revising its policy in August 2014 following the Ray Rice case, which could complicate any attempt by Manziel to return.

The first agent, Erik Burkhardt, cut ties with

Manziel after last season.

Burkhardt’s replacement, Drew Rosenhaus, dropped Manziel last week. His marketing agency dropped him before charges were filed, and Nike confirmed last week that it no longer has an endorsement deal with Manziel.

Crowley alleged that the 23-year-old quarterback accosted her at a Dallas hotel and later struck her when they drove back to her apartment in Fort Worth. She was granted a protective order that requires Manziel to not see her for two years, stay at least 500

feet from her home and place of work, and pay $12,000 in legal fees.

Crowley alleged she and Manziel had a confrontation in the hotel room that eventually continued downstairs to the valet station. She said he forced her into a car and a valet disregarded her pleas for help.

The two eventually drove to where her car was parked in front of a Dallas bar, she said in an affidavit. She said Manziel got into the driver’s seat and began to drive.

Crowley said Manziel stopped when she tried to jump out of the car,

but then he dragged her back inside and hit her.

She said Manziel threatened to kill himself as he drove her back to Fort Worth, about 30 miles west of Dallas, where police were called.

Dallas police said Feb. 5 they were investigating the case, a day after they issued a statement saying they considered the case closed.

In the wake of the allegations, Manziel’s father said the family made two recent, unsuccessful attempts to get him into rehab. Manziel - who entered the NFL with a reputation for par-

tying and drinking spent 73 days last winter in a Pennsylvania treatment centre specializing in care for alcohol and drug dependency.

Manziel was cleared of any wrongdoing last year after he and Crowley got into a heated roadside argument near his home. Witnesses to that incident saw Manziel arguing on the side of a highway with his girlfriend and pulling her back into his car as she tried to leave the vehicle. He was not arrested, and Crowley told police she didn’t want to press charges.

White Tiger Taekwondo turns in stellar performance in Kelowna Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

White Tiger Taekwondo returned from Kelowna following the weekend of April 10, having scored one of the club’s all-time best tournament performances.

In total, the club laid claim to 46 medals, including 13 gold, 15 silver and 18 bronze.

“We had many students who won multiple medals,” said Master Steve Desjardin. “As a group, we brought home 46 medals. It was a great showing for our club.”

White Tiger Taekwondo had 15 students compete in a variety of events, including poomsae, sparring, high front kick, flying side kick, weapons, power break and team forms.

Master Desjardin was not only pleased with the performance of his students, but also with the sportsmanship and competitive spirit they displayed in the process.

Poomsae is the traditional form of taekwon-

Now residing in Calgary, Hollick announced Tuesday afternoon via his blog that he had signed on with News Talk 770 in a parttime role as a sports anchor amongst other responsibilities.

Canucks sign Granlund to two-year extension CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks have signed centre Markus Granlund to a two-year contract extension, the club announced Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was acquired by the Canucks in February from the Calgary Flames in a deal that sent winger Hunter Shinkaruk the other way.

Granlund, who was set to become a restricted free agent this summer, had two goals and one assist in 16 games for the Canucks after the trade.

The native of Oulu, Finland, added four goals and three assists in 31 games with Calgary in 201516 before the deal after splitting time between the Flames and their AHL affiliate.

In 102 regular-season games in the NHL, Granlund has 16 goals and 15 assists.

The 45th pick at the 2011 draft, Granlund is set to play for his country at next month’s world hockey championships in Russia.

As a result of the TPP, B.C. goods exports are expected to increase by $320 million, and our province is expected to gain 2,500 jobs. The deal will particularly benet sectors such as forestry and mining, which will in turn benet related businesses here in the East Kootenays.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Young people are ready, willing and able to tackle the world’s most difficult challenges, and yet are vastly underrepresented as active citizens, decision-makers and problem solvers. From the third-grader in Detroit distributing meals to the homeless, to the high schooler in Jakarta collecting gently used books to develop literacy programs, to the soccer team in Atlanta leading an anti-bullying campaign, all of these remarkable youth have a common goal: to raise awareness and solve the problems facing the world today. Today’s social and environmental problems are immense; we need youth around the world to be leaders and problem solvers today, not just the leaders of a distant tomorrow.

Last week, the world witnessed the 28th Global Youth Service Day. During this three-day event, thousands of community partners in the United States and 125 other countries activate millions of young people to strengthen their communities. Global Youth Service Day recognizes the positive impact that young people have on their communities 365 days a year. When given the opportunity, young people are great assets and resources to their communities, providing unique perspectives and skills.

Moreover, youth who are engaged as active community members are more likely to grow up to volunteer, vote and donate to charitable causes.

Please inform your readers about the service grants and volunteer opportunities available to young people and the organizations that support them year-round. They can visit YSA.org/grants for available opportunities. You can also find us on social media at @YouthService on Twitter and Youth Service America on Facebook. Sincerely -Steven A. Culbertson, President and CEO, Youth Service America Dear Steven Culbertson: We hope all of our readers, young and old, teachers and students, will check out your website to see how they can participate in these wonderful opportunities. Thank you for letting us know.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Not an Exhibitionist,” who said that an 8-year-old boy peeked into her shower at the YMCA. I have a 9-year-son with severe autism who loves to swim. Our local pool does not have a family changing room. We have to go through the men’s or women’s locker room to reach the pool. I don’t enjoy bringing my son into the women’s locker room, but I have no other choice. He would not be able to navigate the men’s locker room on his own. He might run off or easily be led somewhere by a stranger. He is a beautiful boy, and you wouldn’t know he had autism by looking at him.

Please give women who bring their older sons into the locker room the benefit of the doubt. There may be a good reason why they are there. -- Mom with No Other Options Dear Mom: We agree that some children need to tag along with Mom in order to use the pool. But they can be closely supervised and taught to respect a closed curtain. We also think family changing rooms make a great deal of sense these days, and we hope parents (and others) will lobby all such facilities to include them.

Alice was born in Canora, Saskatchewan to Charles and Celia Wilder and was raised along with four brothers and three sisters on the farm near Beaver Bank School.

Alice took her teachers training in Saskatoon and taught in various one room schools before a move to the big city of Vancouver where she worked in the Banking World.

Teaching was in her blood however and she took a job at Cranbrook Central School to be close to her family in the Windermere Valley. It was at Central School where she met fellow teacher Steven Bahrey. After a school year of romance, they were married at the Cranbrook United Church on the last day of school, June 1950. A marriage that would last close to 64 years. Alice continued to teach & tutor as she loved children and would light up in their company. She went on to excel as a homemaker, Super Mom & Wife, raising along with Steven, sons Douglas and Chris. Alice was also a sportswoman who enjoyed skiing, golf, curling, camping & bridge.

As a member of the Cranbrook United Church, Alice was an active participant in the community.

Alice was a gentle, stylish lady who enjoyed a laugh and the quiet company of others.

Alice was predeceased by brothers Ray, Earl, Lloyd & Curtis; sisters Etta and Evelyn, son Douglas and husband Steve.

She is survived by son Chris (Patricia) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; grandchildren Kirsten & Michael, sister Florence and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, April 30th at 2:00 p.m., Cranbrook United Church, #2 12th Ave. S. In lieu of flowers, go visit an old or new friend.

News East Kootenay arts organizations get grants boost

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Four East Kootenay organizations have received a combined $36,708 in grants from the B.C. Arts Council, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett announced today.

Grant recipients are:

• Cranbrook and District Arts Council: $11,068 • Elkford Arts Council Society: $4,935 • Fernie and District Arts Council: $15,705 • Fernie and District Historical Society: $5,000

“Each of these groups adds value to our individual lives and to the richness and diversity of our rural communities,” Bennett said.

“It’s good to see them supported by government.”

The funding comes

Meningitis booster shot planned for Grade 9s BL ACK PRESS

A new booster vaccine to be administered to Grade 9 students in B.C. protects against four strains of meningococcal disease, a bacterial infection that can cause brain damage, deafness and death.

Meningococcal C vaccine has been part of B.C.’s routine immunization since 2003, and will continue to be ad-

ministered to infants.

The new Grade 9 vaccine replaces a meningococcal C booster provided to all children in Grade 6, and will protect against meningococcal A, Y, W and C. “Providing the quadrivalent booster in Grade 9 gives adolescents the best protection as they enter the peak years outside of infancy for contracting

meningococcal disease, which are between 15 and 24 years of age,” said Dr. Perry Kendall, B.C.’s provincial health officer.

Meningococcal bacteria is spread by coughing, sneezing and close face-to-face contact. It can cause meningitis, an infection of the lining of the brain, and septicemia, an infection of the blood.

Day of Mourning Last year, 54 percent of B.C. workers who died on the job worked in a high-risk industry.

Let’s make our workplaces safe and healthy.

from a record-high $24 million the B.C. Arts Council received from the provincial government of British Colum-

bia to support artists, arts activities and culture in 2015-16.

As B.C.’s lead agency for arts funding and de-

velopment, council enlists the expertise of British Columbia’s artists and arts administrators to evaluate grant

applications through a peer review process independent of government.

Community Cash Award winners announced by EKC

For the Townsman

Members and guests joined East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) for the financial institution’s Annual General Meeting April 22 at the Heritage Inn. Jean-Anne Debreceni, Chair of the Board of Directors welcomed the crowd of over 110 members and guests. The acclaimed Directors, Don Holt, Lynne Shewchuk, George Freitag, Mark Spittael, Jose Galdamez, Barb Nunes, Diane Byford and Russell Pask were thanked for their time and commitment.

CEO Jody Burk spoke of the balanced approach EKC takes to measure their success and challenges. Challenges include the local economy, low financial margin, environmental and regulator pressure.

Highlights of 2015 successes included a very good year financially, significant growth in the member loyalty measurement and significant subsidiary contribution.

“The dedication to EKC’s success by staff

and Directors was invaluable.

The Community Cash Awards, which aimed to develop healthy and diverse communities, offered local community groups an opportunity to apply for funding. Unlike other funding initiatives however, the Community Cash Awards provided EKC members, and the community, the opportunity to ‘invest in’ and select the award winners.

“We received 17 applications in total and made the difficult decisions narrowing that list down to the six finalists,” said Diane Byford, Chair of the Nominating Committee.

“Everyone who participated in our AGM had the chance to invest EKC’s Community Cash.

We are thrilled to announce EKC has given out $7,013 in total.

“All groups are winners, and we truly want to congratulate all of our finalists who did an incredible job raising awareness about the important work they do within our communi-

Greg and Jany of Cranbrook Search and Rescue ties.”

Cranbrook and District Search and Rescue Society had the most Community Cash. They received $850 Community Cash dollars from guests, $500 for attending and a bonus of $500 for having the most Community Cash! Cranbrook and District Search and Rescue Society received $1,850 from

EKC! In addition to Cranbrook and District Search and Rescue Society, the other five finalists’ donations were: • $1,020 to the Cranbrook Food Action Committee for the launch of their “Dig It Delights’ social enterprise to fund local food security initiatives, by purchasing a commer-

cial food scale and providing food safety training for the local production and sale of healthy dips, spreads and salad dressings.

• $990 to the Elk Valley Seniors Housing Society for the Finishing Touches project which will include the completion of landscaping, such as a ‘contemplation garden,’ at the Lilac

Terrace Senior Housing expansion initiative.

• $1,000 to Kimberley Alpine Team to purchase a start gate for ski cross racing to increase physical activity, provide a lower cost option to ski racing for youth and provide current members with further ski racing and athletic training options.

• $1,211 to Kootenay

East Youth Soccer Association to assist with the cost of officials for their annual KEYSA Sam Steele Days Youth Soccer Tournament which hosts over 60 teams contributing to healthy lifestyles and showcasing the community. · $942 to Rockies Rowing Club to enable fitness and health in the community by expanding their program for local youth through the purchase of new equipment including boats, life jackets, oars and a trailer.

Diane Byford, Chair of the Nominating Committee, added, “The Community Cash Awards have been an inclusive and fun way to involve EKC members, local citizens and youth in selecting the Community Cash Award recipients. Based on the excellent feedback of the members and public who attended our AGM, as well as the community groups who participated, we can’t wait to bring this awards program back again next year in the Elk Valley.”
