RCMP investigate rocks thrown at vehicles
Rocks were being thrown from an embankment near the Teck rail bridge; suspect has been identified By cOReY BullOcK
Conditions were cool and at times a little wet for the Round the Mountain event over the weekend, but that didn’t stop over 700 competitors, spectators and volunteers from attending. See more on A6. Chris Newel photo.
A Kimberley resident took to Facebook this week to warn motorists that a group of youth have allegedly been throwing boulders at cars from the embankment on Hwy 95A between Kimberley and Meadowbrook. Kimberley RCMP Sgt. Chris Newel says that the detachment is currently following up on the situation, stating that a suspect has been identified. “Three separate reports were received and patrols [were] conducted each time,” Newel said in a press release. “On Sunday, June 23, a vehicle was damaged as a result of rocks being thrown.” Continued on A2

By cAROlYn GRAnT
This coming Sunday, June 30, the Kimberley Youth Action Network is hosting a very special event, Kimberley’s first Pride Fest. Lori Joe from KYAN says the students are very excited about it.
“Some of them have come out and they feel comfortable and want to share with the community,” she said. “We are in the year 2019 and these young people are really excited to share the love. They feel very sup-
ported in their high school and want to share with the wider community.” Joe says the event was initiated by Gwen Davies, who formed a subcommittee which has been working on planning the Pride event.
“They have done a great job juggling the organizing, with grad and final exams.” Pride Fest will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 30 and the main event will be a parade that
starts at 11:30. “We want you to wear your brightest, most colourful clothes, and dress up your dogs too. Colourful people, colourful dogs. It’s going to be great,” Joe said. Continued on A2

First Saturday in July; a feast of the arts Arts action returns to Kimberley’s Platzl on the first Saturday of July through October By CAROLYN GRANT
It’s officially summer and Kimberley’s festival season is in full swing. After July 1 festivities this coming weekend, the next event is First Saturday on July 6. First Saturdays are held the first Saturday of each month, July through October, under the auspices of the Kimberley Arts Council.

That runs until 11 a.m. The annual silent auction, sponsored by local businesses and individuals, starts at 10 am. and goes until 2:30 p.m.
It takes place on Spokane Street in the Platzl. There are lots of great items to bid on for golfing, river rafting, swimming, camping, gift certificates from local restaurants and businesses. All proceeds go to support First Saturday events. A new initiative this year is the Kimberley First Saturday Make Art Studio. Join local artists Margaret Moe, Darcy Wanuk and Lori Craig in the Outdoor Studio for Grownups to create - make - play with a variety of mediums. Create, play, hang out and connect with others, as well as view some great local art. Kimberley First Saturdays support the Go Green Effort. Come and make your own 2019 First Saturday market bag.

Love is love. Let’s just support
each other no matter what, and support those who are coming out.” In a letter to local business, the KYAN committee asked; “We are very hopeful that many businesses, sports organi-

LocaL NEWS First Nations included in latest Columbia River Treaty talks Seventh round of negotiations between Canada and U.S. wrap up in Washington D.C. TREVOR CRAWLEY Townsman Staff
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. “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
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 The Hugh Keenleyside Dam near Castlegar was one of three built as part of the Columbia River Treaty. It has had a huge impact on the Columbia River valley all the way to Revelstoke. Photo: Contributed 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 participated in to date,” reads the statement. “This precedent-setting role as observers builds on and enhances our import-

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.

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.

Kimberley’s Round the Mountain 2019
Good weather for racing By COREY BULLOCK
The Round the Mountain Festival took place at the Kimberley Nordic Centre Round the Mountain Trail on Sunday, June 23, 2019. Event organizer Lana Drijber says that despite the forecast, they had an amazing day with “little rain and so much fun”. “It was a fantastic temperature for racing,” she said. “We had just about 500 racers. People stayed to party to the band Alderbash well after the awards ceremony.” She adds that the event wouldn’t have been possible without the help of many volunteers. “The rain storms during the week prior left a lot of trees across the trail. The Kimberley Trails Society and numerous volunteers had to work very hard and long to get the trails cleared before the event,” Drijber ex-
Jim Webster file. Jim Webster File. plained. “Again, such a huge success due to the 100 plus volunteers and also, thanks to our sponsors.” One of the goals of the event is to be as close to zero waste as possible, which was extremely successful having just one quarter bag of garbage at the end of the event. There were several different race categories including the
10K run, the 10K Run Master, the 10K Run Junior, Mountain Biking, 20K Run, 20K Run Master and Junior as well as Masters and Open categories.

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

Two bear cubs saved near Revelstoke after mother hit by car
Conservation officers trapped the cubs and transported them to a wildlife sanctuary Danielle Hebert Revelstoke Review
Two bear cubs were rescued from the scene of an accident on the 23 South near Revelstoke, last week The cubs’ mother was struck by a vehicle and killed on June 11 and the two cubs were rescued that night. According to Maggie Spizzirri with Revelstoke Bear Aware, it is common for cubs to remain nearby the mother for some time when she has been killed. Somewhat fortunately for the cubs and for the conservation officers who responded to the incident, the two cubs did just that. It was also fortunate that the driver noticed the cubs and alerted the Conservation line to let officers know where the cubs were. The first cub was easily captured by officers in just a few minutes, however the second took all night to capture. Once they were in the custody of the conservation officers the cubs were transported by volunteers to the Northern Lights Wildlife Sanctuary which is located in Smithers, B.C.. “We are very grateful that the driver knew to call in that there were cubs involved”, said Spizzirri, “and that the conservation areas were actually in the area at the time.” She said that “They are only about five months old, still too young to survive on their own”. Spizzirri also said that the cubs will be kept at Northern Lights Sanctuary until they are old enough to survive on their own and at that
Two bear cubs were rescued by conservation officers after their mother was hit by a car near Revelstoke on Highway 23 south. (Submitted) time they will be released. The amount of time that that may take varies for each bear. Spizzirri did said that when they are released back to the wild, they will be brought back to their home area where they were found, and that they may or may not be released together, depending on the needs and development of each cub. Spizzirri said that all things considered this was a great out-
come for this type of incident. She also said that car collisions with bears are very common this time of year especially on Highway 23, and that if you are involved with a bear accident that it is important to take a quick look around to see if there are any cubs nearby and always alert the conservation officers through the RAPP conservation line 1-877-952-RAPP. i would also like to remind
everyone to continue to practice bear safety when it comes to garbage disposal and fruit trees. “Sometimes I feel like a broken record” she said, “but it really is for everyone’s safety”. She is referring to safety techniques like keeping garbage inside until the garbage day or in a bear proof container, as well as ensuring that any fruit trees are properly picked.

Disaster relief: four tips for coping with wildfires, smoky skies Being shrouded in smoke or having to flee from wildfires can cause anxiety, stress, depression SALMON ARM OBSERVER
Smoke, evacuations, loss, worry –B.C.’s wildfires affect us all. If you are feeling stressed or anxious, you are not alone. The fear of having to flee your home, leave possessions behind and relocate can cause distress, fear and anxiety for you and your loved ones. Even the prospect of living with smoky skies during wildfire season can cause distress. It is normal to have these types of
feelings when experiencing an abnormal situation. No one can predict when or where a big wildfire will occur, so it’s best to think ahead about how to stay mentally healthy this summer, suggests a news release from Interior Health. 1. Prepare yourself and your family. Having a clear emergency plan and kit ready for your family, pets and livestock can ease your mind and allow you to focus on other needs. • Visit PreparedBC for resources to help
you understand the hazards in your location and then build a family emergency plan. • Visit BCCentre for Disease Control for information on wildfire smoke and steps you can take to protect your health, both indoors and outdoors. 2. Take care of the basics. Stress takes a toll on our physical and mental health. Try to eat well and get enough sleep. Be kind to yourself. Give and accept support. Follow your daily routine. Take a break
from disaster news coverage and from thinking and talking about disaster events. 3. Ask for help. Whether it’s with family, friends, a doctor or a counsellor – talking helps. Crisis lines are available to listen and help anytime –not just during a crisis. People with moderate to severe symptoms that last more than two to four weeks should consult a family physician, if available. Otherwise, reach out to your nearest Mental Health and Substance Use Centre. Symp-

As Kimberley residents are well aware, having a wildfire burning nearby can be very stressful. Black Press file.
toms may include: trouble sleeping and eating; feeling depressed or hopeless; being anxious and fearful; having recurring thoughts or nightmares about the event; and avoiding activities or places that are reminders of the event. 4. Help others. Check in on older people and children. Coping may be more difficult for older
adults living alone, those with mental health challenges, or those with few social supports. Reaching out to connect with them can be a big help. Children who have experienced previous wildfire evacuations or adverse health effects due to smoky skies may need help from adults who provide care for them. The Canadian Mental Health Asso-
