The Symphony of the Kootenays performs in Kimberley, Saturday, June 10.

Symphony of the Kootenays performs in Kimberley Join the Symphony for a Return to a Night at the Movies By CAROLYN GRANT

The Symphony of the Kootenays is returning to Kimberley this weekend, and although the orchestra won’t be climbing Northstar Mountain this time, they still have an exciting program to present at McKim Theatre. The Symphony will perform at McKim this Saturday, June 10 beginning at 7:30 p.m. The theme of the concert is Return to a Night at the Movies and will feature music from the movies.

The show starts off with the culmination of a season-long journey through Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with Summer featuring SOTK Associate Concertmaster Jeremy VanDieman as soloist. The first half of the show features an Oscar-worthy lineup of classic pieces that have been featured in films from 2001: A Space Odyssey to Apocalypse Now to that great wealth of classical music: Bugs

Bunny cartoons. Works in the second half feature familiar themes from major movies including Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible and a quick journey through the James Bond franchise. There are several Kimberley residents performing with the symphony. Sven Hyde and Tim Plait are both playing, and they will be joined by Gwen Davies and Emma MacLeod. Continued on A16

East Kootenay snow pack at 105% of normal By CAROLYN GRANT

The latest snow survey data was released by the River Forecast Centre on June 7. Hot temperatures in the second half of May led to rapid snowmelt and many of the measured basins lost a great deal of snow in that time. The East Kootenay snow basin is at 105 per cent of normal

as of June 1. That’s down to almost normal from 154 per cent of normal in midMay. There are still areas where the snow basin indices remain very high. Boundary is at 178 per cent of normal snow levels, and the Okanagan at 228 The East Kootenay snow pack is at 105 per cent of norper cent. Continued on A2 mal. Above, the Purcells near Kimberley.
