SunMine not for sale

10

INCLUDES G.s.t.

By CAROLYN GRANT

The City of Kimberley is still looking for partners to invest in the SunMine. It is not looking to sell the solar project, says Mayor Don McCormick. “The original plan was for us to sell our interest to generate cash for infrastructure,” he said. “The thought was the SunMine would still be there, there would just be a change in ownership.” However, a few key factors have come to light that make a sale virtually impossible. “The first factor is that we have a loan from the MFA (Municipal Finance Au-

money we got from a sale could only go into a reserve fund and make payments on the loan until the ten year mark. So there is no benefit to a sale.” Continued on A3

Man fined for tossing smoke out car window BARRY COULTER Townsman Staff

Cranbrook RCMP issued a fine under the Wildfire Act Tuesday to a man who tossed a lit cigarette out of his moving vehicle. Police responded to a complaint of a man driving on 14th Avenue in Cranbrook, who apparently tossed a cigarette out of the window of his moving vehicle into dry grass. Witnesses were able to provide a license plate number for an out of province Cadillac. The Cranbrook officer was able to

locate the vehicle and issued the driver with a ticket under the Wildfire Act for “Drop Release or Mishandle Burning Substance” which carries a fine of $575. “Cranbrook RCMP would like to stress to the motoring public that with the dry conditions in and around Cranbrook, it might only take that one cigarette being tossed out a window to cause a devastating and life altering wildfire in our area,” police said in a release issued Tuesday afternoon.
