Rock-throwing suspect ID’d Townsman Staff

Kimberley RCMP are currently following up on several incidents where rocks were being thrown at vehicles on Highway 95A at the edge of Kimberley.

Three separate reports were received and patrols conducted each time, according to Sgt. Chris Newel, Kimberley detachment commander.

“On Sunday June 23, a vehicle was damaged as a result of the rocks being thrown,” Sgt. Newel said in a release Tuesday. “Through investigation and information provided by the public a suspect was identified.”

In order to pursue a Criminal Charge witnesses are required, Newel said. The investigation is ongoing — not all persons present were directly responsible. There were exten-

sive social media comments some of which were speculative and not accurate.

“The allegations will be dealt with through the appropriate process and parents will be involved. We appreciate the danger of this behavior and potential for serious injury, that will be addressed with all the parties.

“We would like to point out the Teck railway right of way is private property and fenced. The Railway Bridge is completely closed off and has not been compromised.

Police checked out the area and found the rocks were likely thrown from an area just off the highway below the bridge.”

If you have direct information concerning this incident, please contact the Kimberley RCMP.

First Nations included in latest River Treaty talks Trevor Crawley

Delegates from Canada, including local Indigenous observers, wrapped up the seventh round of negotiations on the Columbia River Treaty in the United States last week.

Canadian representatives met with American negotiators in Washington D.C. and are set to meet for another round of talks in Cranbrook in September, according to a provincial government press release.

Katrine Conroy, the Minister Responsible for the Columbia River Treaty and MLA for Kootenay-West, issued a statement, along with joint statements from

local Indigenous nations.

“This round of negotiations marked a historic moment as representatives of Columbia Basin Indigenous Nations were present as observers for the first time,” said Conroy. “Representatives of the Ktunaxa, Syilx/Okanagan and Secwepemc Nations had already been collaborating with the governments of British Columbia and Canada on negotiation positions and strategies; but this week, they were present in the negotiating room and participated in breakout discussions with Canada and B.C. during negotiations.

School board reports January malware attack

Trevor Crawley

The Southeast Kootenay School District reports it suffered a ‘cyber incident’ five months ago that infected computers at the district office and the Fernie Learning Centre.

The district office reports that the computer network at the board office in Cranbrook was infected with the Emotet virus, which typically compromises a system by inserting a malicious link into an email.

Discovered on January 23, 2019, the virus was contained to the original network at the board office and computers were immediately shut off, wiped and re-imaged, according to an SD5 memo.

The attack jeopardized email files from staff computers that had their Outlook software program open on Jan. 23. The malware was able to obtain email files from the infected computers and those emails may be forwarded on to

other recipients with the infected malware attachments.

The SD5 office warns that the risks of the cyber attack include disclosure of personal information, salary, confidential information and contact information such as addresses, phone numbers, and email accounts.

“We believe the risk is directed at emails being forwarded with Malware attachments with the intent to spread the Emotet Virus and not for the purpose of disclosing or using the personal information that may be found in the emails,” reads part of a memo released by the district office. “Another Cybersecurity solution product has been purchased to reduce future risk of emails being compromised, this will also include cybersecurity training for our staff.”

The district says it is still investigating and will release more information as it becomes available.

Should B.C. get rid of Daylight Saving Time?

The province wants to know, as state governments down south make the move Black Press

Shall B.C. forever “spring forward” and “fall back”?

That is the question at the heart of a provincial survey open to the public until July 19.

“As our neighbours in the western United States move toward permanent daylight saving time, it’s a good time to think about what will work best for British Columbia,” said Premier John Horgan in a news release on Monday.

“I invite people to consider our options and take part in an online survey that will help us decide whether to leave things as they are or if it’s time to make a change.”

The survey includes information on B.C.’s history of time observance and the impact of various options, such as changes to the

timing of sunrise and sunset at different times of year and the impact on industries such as agriculture and transportation.

The survey takes about five minutes to complete. Residents can also submit written submissions.

Horgan has said he has written to the governors of California, Oregon and Washington, where legislators are considering bills that would seek an exemption from U.S. federal law so they can opt out of turning the clocks back an hour each fall and then ahead in the spring.

The premier has described the seasonal time change as the number one issue over which the public has contacted him since taking the job in 2017.

City reports progress on Roads projects Submitted

The City of Cranbrook has seen great progress on its annual Capital Works Program early in the first half of 2019.

With paving complete on the 8th Avenue Road and Watermain project and soon to follow on the 13th Avenue Road and Watermain project, these are shaping up to be some of the earliest completion dates for full reconstruction projects in the City.

Manager of Infrastructure Planning & Delivery, Mike Matejka says there are a few factors that help

get a jumpstart to the construction season.

“We at the City have been working hard over the past several years to plan ahead with our infrastructure prioritization, planning and design work. Coupled with a continued effort to have our Financial Plan adopted early in the year allows us to tender these projects earlier than many other communities,” Matejka says.

“Tendering projects early leads to the most competitive prices and also allows contractors to get to work early, and complete

Roadwork on 13th Avenue South. Photo courtesy City of Cranbrook work early, such that they can bid on other work later in the season.”

While the City does work hard to incentivize a timely project schedule, it has also put in many contractual requirements and oversight mechanisms to make sure quality work and quality

First Nations included in latest River Treaty talks

Continued from A1 “This is a very significant step forward – not just in terms of the Columbia River Treaty, but also in supporting our government’s commitment to reconciliation and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

“During the latest round of negotiations, the American and Canadian delegations took stock of progress of negotiations since the Columbia River Treaty modernization process began in May 2018.

The latest discussions focused on flood-risk management, power and adaptive management.”

The Ktunaxa, Syilx/Okanagan and Secwepemc Nations also issued a joint statement following the latest round of talks on the treaty.

The federal government announced Indigenous inclusion in the negotiation process two months ago after an outcry from local First Nations advocates.

“While a great deal of work remains to be done, we are very pleased with what we have observed and par-

ticipated in to date,” reads the statement.

“This precedent-setting role as observers builds on and enhances our important work with Canada and B.C. over the last two years.

We are confident that we can continue to contribute positively to these negotiations and help realize the First Nations’ goals for meaningful outcomes from these negotiations that are of critical importance to our nations and homelands.”

The Columbia River Treaty is a water management agreement signed between Canada and the U.S. in 1964.

In exchange for providing flood control and downstream power benefits, Canada agreed to build three dams, while the U.S. agreed to build one.

While the power generation provides for roughly half of the potential power generation in B.C., the construction of the dams flooded 110,000 hectares of Canadian ecosystems and displaced more than two thousand residents, heavily impacting First Nations communities and traditional territories.

The treaty has been criticized for failing to adequately consult with First Nations and other stakeholders when it was first negotiated.

Under the agreement, the U.S. paid Canada $64 million for 60 years of flood control and power generation benefits.

The treaty has no end date, but either country can unilaterally terminate the deal by 2024, provided there is a 10-year notice.

public engagement remains a top priority.

For the second half of the year the City has a watermain replacement project underway in the alley east of 15th Avenue between 2nd and 4th Street South. This will also provide a new upgraded water service to the City owned Mount Baker RV Park.

Furthermore, the annual paving program tender has closed with the preliminary lowest bidder being BA Blacktop. The

City would like to see this project underway early in July which will see several roads resurfaced, new sidewalks installed, and several road safety upgrades completed.

Finally, Mackay Contracting is expected to begin work on the Kootenay Street Storm Sewer upgrade in early July, which will alleviate risks and likelihood of localized flooding issues that have occurred historically in the area.

INVITATION TO TENDER RCMP Secure Area Closed-circuit Video Equipment (CCVE) The City of Cranbrook is inviting Tenders for the supply, delivery and install of Closed-Circuit Video Equipment for a RCMP secure area.

Tender Documents will be available from City Hall at 40 – 10th Avenue South Cranbrook BC. The documents are also available on BCBid and on the City’s web site under “Business – Tenders”.

Sealed Tenders, labeled with Tenderer’s name, project name and Owner’s name must be submitted by 2:30:00 pm, local time, Friday, July 12, 2019 to: Attention: Melissa Smith, Financial Services Manager City of Cranbrook 40 10th Avenue South Cranbrook, BC V1C 2M8 Late submissions will be rejected.

The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders submitted.

LETTERS to the EDITOR which could lead to a sad outcome.

Will common sense prevail at Whiteswan, not sure, but what I can tell you is no BC Parks management has had to use a washroom at the Home Basin Campground or they would have seen and had it removed.

Craig Little Cranbrook

The Fire Safety sign at Whiteswan Lake Park Whiteswan Safety For anyone who camps at Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, you will have witnessed the many changes BC Parks (Wasa and Nelson Offices) are recommending you do while camping at Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park.

Campers are being requested they put their barbeques, camp stoves, and fuel cans of gas into their trucks or travel trailer every night before going to bed. This is because a black bear had to be destroyed last year at Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park. There is no proof the bear was habituated to any food wastes at the campsites. Bad habits could have been the result of neighboring private properties, but the campers are being blamed for the destruction of this bear.

It is very clear common sense has not prevailed. As a person who has camped at Whiteswan Lake for 40 years I believe most campers keep their camp stoves and area very clean. If it were recommended that campers try to be more diligent to burn off any food particles left on the barbeque would be a great idea. As for the gas. Ridiculous and unsafe!

You would have to think someone was smoking to much marijuana in BC Parks offices. Do you think anyone who does not have a truck canopy is going to put gasoline jerry cans into the cab of their truck? No, this is absurd and unsafe. What about the fuel can in a boat?

What about the smell of fish in or around a boat which is 20 feet from many camp sites?

Do we put them away every night as well?

BC Parks needs to consider the safety of park visitors as the number one priority. What are the biggest safety risk factors in BC over the last five years? It is forest fires. And about four years ago Whiteswan Provincial park was closed due to several fires surrounding the park.

If you go into most of the washrooms in the Home Basin Campground you will see a sign.

IN CASE OF FIRE (in Bold Letters) DO- Fire Boxes (with instructions inside) ARE LOCATED through out the park.

For all who do not know, there are “NO” fire boxes with instructions. NONE. Most local persons already know this, but what about visitors from other areas of B.C, other provinces or other countries. Completely misleading sign,

Sam Steele Days and Downtown I was downtown Cranbrook on Sam Steele Days and it was like a ghost town after parade.

I thought it would be an exciting happening place with food trucks and all sorts of things to walk around View, eat and buy. There were no people, the businesses were dead. I asked the business staff, that were standing around bored to tears, where everyone was. They said after the parade the downtown emptied.

If I was a Cranbrook business owner I would be very upset that all the people are directed away from the centre core and my business after hiring staff to be opened. To me this is not good economics for the Cranbrook business community. I think Kimberley businesses would be very upset.

Why would the organizers not close downtown streets off etc , make it downtown fun. Let the businesses reap the rewards of the crowds and tourists .

Is there a reason you chose a location so far away from the downtown businesses? Confused at this event decision.

The hole in Kayleigh Sherman’s sunroof casued by a rock thrown by a logging truck.

Rock Danger I wanted to share the story that my car was hit by a large rock thrown from a logging truck near Jaffray recently. It put a huge hole in my sunroof. We were incredibly lucky for it not to go through the windshield and kill one or both of us.

In 2018 this same situation ended fatally in two incidents (that I know of, there may be more), one in Grand Forks and another on Vancouver Island.

Logging truck drivers are supposed to stop and check their tires for rocks to avoid this.

I intend to bring this up with local logging companies, but felt it would be relevant to share with the public as a warning & raise awareness.

Spring Forward Forever: Vote now

E

xciting news, readers: The most important question of the month is facing us, the answer to which could make a profound difference to our lives — a change for the better.

The government of British Columbia is asking us all what we think. Should we eliminate that twice-yearly time change, the “Spring Forward Fall Back” that for decades has disrupted our circadian rhythms and sleep cycles for no apparent rationale that I can see.

Let all good citizens head at once to the online survey here — engage.gov.bc.ca/daylightsavingtime — and ponder the following choices: A) That B.C. continue the practice of changing our clocks bi-annually: B) B.C. adopts the year-round observance of Daylight Savings Time.

For years I have been arguing, long and hard, for an end to this practice, following the lead of that most enlightened city-state of Creston, which has Daylight Savings Time as part of its infrastructure, or that mythical land of Saskatchewan.

Readers, we must vote for a permanent Daylight Saving Time — the Spring Forward — where we are now, so that we can linger in glorious sunsets, spread out against the sky at the end of a long, productive day, and so that our mornings are dark and cool, containing

all the possibilities and potentials of a day not yet begun.

This of course, is my own personal preference. Moving the clock ahead one hour once a year, we can all agree, is a painful jolt. After six months of being accustomed to waking up at a certain hour, all of a sudden we are forced to awaken an hour earlier, throwing our moods and our bio-rhythms out of whack. And then six months later, after finally adjusting to this cycle, suddenly we change our clocks again.

This time — the Fall Back Barry — we wake up with an extra Coulter hour of sleep, refreshing for sure, but we stumble out into a world where the mornings are too bright too soon, and where the sun sets at a ridiculous and depressing early hour.

I have thought, since my arguments have always fallen on deaf government ears, that we would be stuck in this vicious cycle of Spring Forward Fall Back for the rest of time. If we’re going to do this, I have asked, why not save us the agony of early awakening, and have a Fall Back Spring Back. It makes as much sense as any schedule.

(Well, it actually makes less sense than any other schedule, but it has the benefit of being whacky and amusing. We turn our clocks back one hour in the fall, and then in the spring we turn them back one hour again. I have argued that the City of Cranbrook adopt

the Fall Back Spring Back time change – if Creston can unilaterally decide on its own time, why can’t Cranbrook? Just think — six years after we adopt this schedule, it would be noon in Kimberley when it is midnight in Cranbrook. Then six years later, we would be back in sync again. Surely we can try this, if only for experimental purposes, to attract tourists and business.)

(I have to say, the City of Cranbrook has so far ignored this proposal, like they ignored the other great plans I’ve argued for. For example, digging up the giant outdoor swimming pool buried in Baker Park— at one time Canada’s largest — and putting it back to use as an inland surfing facility. But I digress).

I have never understood why the rest of the country never followed Creston’s lead in this matter. With its firm stance on these chronological matters, I think Creston has proved itself to be the most clear-thinking of communities, and now that the rest of the province is finally getting in line, I think Creston should be rewarded for its realistic viewpoint and pragmatism. Moving the provincial capital from Victoria to Creston would be a good start, and a move that makes sense for many eminent reasons, which I will argue for in another column, some other week, since I am out of space, and out of time.

Once again, reader, head to the online survey at engage.gov.bc.ca/daylightsavingtime, and let Premier Horgan know your thoughts on this matter. It takes about five minutes to complete.

Successful season for East Kootenay Volleyball Club For the Townsman

The East Kootenay Volleyball Club (EKVC) season ended well for all teams involved.

The end of the season resulted in medals from teams on both provincial level and the national level. All teams placed well and were able to be aggressive in a competitive league.

Practice and provincial tournament play resulted in gold and silver medals for the 13/14/15U Girls and Boys teams.

With age categories ranging from 11 to 18 years, the athletes compete at various tournaments throughout the winter/spring months. The EKVC is registered in the Alberta Volleyball League and tournaments take place at various locations throughout Alberta, such as Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton.

The final Volleyball Alberta (VA) tournament, the Alberta Provincials, saw medals for many of the club teams.

The 13U Girls team and 15U Boys team both won gold medals at their provincial competitions. The 14U Girls and 14U Boys teams both won silver medals at their respective competitions.

All teams (excluding 13U) were then invited to go to Nationals, held as far away as Regina, Saskatchewan for the U16 girls.

The 14U Boys team brought home a gold medal from their Nationals in Edmonton.

Many of our athletes train in school ball and then go on to spend the rest of the year playing club volleyball.

This is a great way for these youth to practice their skills, have fun, stay active and gain skills, polishing their technique in a sport they love. The two seasons complement each other well.

This year the Grade 8 boys from Laurie Middle School took the Volleyball EK Zones in five straight wins after an impressive undefeated season.

“This group has been together for the last couple of years and it shows.

They have a great work ethic and trust each other to make passes and win sets,” said Rob Mogielka, coach of the Bantam Boys.

“This group of boys are pretty tough to beat; they have a skill level that they work on both at the school level and at Volleyball Club.” added Jesse Jimenez, co-coach.

Another great way to develop skills for some of these athletes is to attend volleyball camps. This summer EKVC is offering a camp in Cranbrook.

EKVC will host a Future Stars Camp with Olympian Rudy Verhoeff. The Girls camp will run from July 29 to 30, 2019 and the Boys camp will be July 31 and Aug 1, 2019.

East Kootenay Volleyball Club was established in 1997, and offers a competitive program with high quality coaching. Our membership is about athletes who want to develop their volleyball skills to the next level of play.

Age categories go from 11 to 18 years old with a membership of over 190 athletes drawing from all over the region.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You feel as if you can take on the world if you could stop some of the obstacles that keep coming at you. You could try to be more mellow in your dealings and less reactive. Get to the bottom of a situation; make a needed change. Tonight: Accept a spontaneous invitation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You willingly express your feelings about a certain person or situation. Choose your words with care as you might want to take them back later. Walk in another person’s shoes before making a decision. Tonight: Get some extra R&R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Zero in on what you want. A loved one might have very strong words about a situation. You cannot change this person’s mind. If need be, head in another direction yet express your caring. Tonight: An overdue chat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel as if you do not have enough personal time. You might want to schedule a day just for you. That experience of having a day off might be more important than you realize. Tonight: Express your feelings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might experience some complications that you might not want to share with others. Holding in your feelings might not be the best idea. Sharing them with a dear friend could help you process them. Tonight: Treat yourself to some mind candy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your strength fuses with a partner’s. Together you succeed. You might not agree about a child or a creative project, but once you do, you will be unstoppable. Listen to your inner voice when making an important decision.

Tonight: Be more playful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might feel run over by someone who is willful and absolutely wants to have his or her way. Back off and let this person express what is on his or her mind. You might disagree. Express your sentiments at a later point. Tonight: At a local spot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You push when you want to accomplish something. Fatigue marks your actions as well. Do your best to maintain your health. Exercise if you need to. If you need to diet, no hesitation. Tonight: Do not go to the wee hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you hit a problem, consider backing off for now. Your creativity surges and you might not be in sync with a key person. Consider updating your budget before making a decision. You will be happier if you keep to it. Tonight: Respond to a new suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could feel pushed by a family member. How you let him or her know how cornered you feel could cause more irritation. Understand what is happening and put an end to this behavior by simply saying no. Tonight: Settle in and have a long-overdue talk.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be so focused on one item that you lose sight of the big picture. Understand what is happening and come up for air from your focused study. You will want to see the whole picture. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Indulge, but keep to your budget at all costs. Understand what someone shares and the expectations this person has. If possible, make a decision that allows you to give this person a nod, but allows you not to need to join him or her. Tonight: Out and about. Meet friends.a
