Sun Mine construction set to begin Kimberley poised to become the largest generator of solar power in Western Canada C A R O LYN G R A N T Bulletin Editor
It was an appropriately sunny morning on Monday, July 7, as dignitaries and guests gathered at the Kimberley Conference Centre to celebrate the official launch of the Sun Mine project. It has been almost
three years since a majority of Kimberley citizens authorized through referendum the borrowing of $2 million to construct the Sun Mine. In that time the City and its partners secured funding, negotiated ownership, undertook due diligence and pre-feasibility studies and completed 17 agreements with eight different organizations. Many of those partners spoke on Monday of their delight that all these partnerships came together so well and their optimism about the solar project, which will be the largest solar facility in
western Canada. First to speak was Coun. Marty Williams of Aq’Am, the St. Mary Band. Williams welcomed all to Ktunaxa territory and said he was pleased to see a project take advantage of solar power after “life support systems have been so abused and mismanaged”. Williams acknowledged the role of the province of British Columbia, represented by Minister of Energy Bill Bennett, and encouraged the province to open the doors for more opportunities in CAROLYN GRANT PHOTO Mayor Ron McRae, in suitably sunny attire, solar energy.

The paintings of Victorine Kierstead are currently on display at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council on 10th Avenue South, including the portrait series pictured above. Kierstead was a Toronto-area painter, born in 1913, whose work reflects a Group of Seven influence. The collection of paintings was rediscovered when Creston resident Tracie Truscott purchased the contents of a storage locker in Creston. In the boxes she purchased were more than 100 paintings and drawings by Kierstead.

Tamarack gives away bike to help promote Gran Fondo Submit ted
Tamarack Centre has partnered with Sunrise Rotary and Gerick Sports in a contest to give away a Norco Wolverine mountain bike, to help promote the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo event being held September 7, 2014. The contest to win the bike was held at Tamarack Centre, and ran from June 12 to July 1. Hundreds of names were entered into the barrel, but Lori Stevenson of Cranbrook was
the lucky recipient. The second annual Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, presented by Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants, is being organized by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club. The purpose of the ride is to serve as an opportunity for cyclists to participate in a world class Fondo, bring tourists to our region, and raise funds for local charitable endeavours. The intention is to have the Cranbrook - Kimberley Rails to Trails So-
ciety as a recipient of a portion of the event proceeds. Other funds raised through the event will be used to support community projects in our area. Organizers are committed to using local suppliers and businesses to benefit our community. A Gran Fondo is an organized, mass participation cycling event. Many cyclists use Gran Fondos to challenge themselves to ride a long distance with fellow cyclists while being
supported organizationally. The routes are well sign-posted and marshalled and riders are able to use aid stations positioned at intervals along the route to replenish their nutritional needs and drink supplies. Riders are provided with mechanical and medical support if needed. Some participants ride the event like a race, while others simply ride for a personal challenge and the camaraderie with friends and family.
$500 for Health Foundation Donna Gr ainger
Although Michael Christianson of Sun Life Financial has left his position as a member of the board with East Kootenay Foundation for Health last year, his commitment to supporting health care has stayed steadfast. Last week Michael presented EKFH’s Executive director Donna Grainger with a gift of $500 as part of Sun Life Financial’s volunteer recognition program. “I am proud to con-
tinue to support the philanthropic work of EKFH,” Christianson said. “Each and every donation it receives really does make a difference to fund medical equipment, programs and/or patient comforts.” By allowing the foundation to select an area of care to benefit from this generous gift, the East Kootenay Regional Hospital psychiatric unit is receiving some very important patient comforts and
recreation items. The EKFH board of directors set its own goal to be a group of community-minded and philanthropic individuals that want to leave something behind after serving on the board. It’s safe to say, Michael Christianson is doing just that. To make your own gift to support and strengthen health care in your community or for the region, visit the secured website www. ekfh.ca.

Sun Mine; the details, the business plan C AROLYN GR ANT
Bulletin Editor Construction is set to begin on the $5.3 million Sun Mine project on reclaimed Sullivan Mine lands in Kimberley. The Sun Mine will have over 4,000 solar-cell modules, mounted on 96 solar trackers which follow the sun’s movement, maximizing solar exposure. It will be the first solar project in B.C. to sell power to the BC Hydro grid, and also the largest solar project outside of eastern Canada. Partners include Teck, which provides land and site infrastructure as well as a $2 million monetary contribution; $1 million from the province’s Innovative Clean Energy Fund through the EcoSmart Foundation. It is also supported by the Columbia Basin Trust and the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust. Conergy Canada has been chosen as the
primary contractor to provide engineering, procurement and construction management. Sun Mine will be built over this summer and fall with a target date of operation by January 2015. Upon completion, Sun Mine will be • the largest solar facility west of Ontario • the first redevelopment of reclaimed land into a solar farm in Canada • the first large solar project in Canada supported by a mining company • the first utility scale solar facility developed, owned, and operated by a Canadian municipality • the first 1000V DC solar installation outside of Ontario • the first grid-connected solar photovoltaic installation in B.C. • the first large-scale project in western Canada to use solar trackers The City of Kimberley expects to pay back its loan of $2 million through the generation
and sale of power to BC Hydro. The price received for electricity will be guaranteed through a 25 year power purchase contract with BC Hydro, which will pay $110.10 per kilowatt hour produced, estimated to yield $244,000 per year. The primary contractor, Conergy is providing a two year performance guarantee that the facility will produce at least 90 per cent of the total design capacity and will pay the city the difference if it does not. The agreement with the contractor is a fixed price agreement. Sun Mine has a $5.3 million construction budget, which includes $4.05 million for the Engineer Procure Construct project, $1.1 million for ancillary project costs and $219,000 for performance, labour and material bonding and contingency. After loan payments, operations and maintenance expenses, net revenue is expected to

average $57,800 per year over 25 years. The City’s loan will be paid off in 20 years. The City has outlined all risks associat-

that the business plan was built around conservative assumptions and due diligence that reflect the risk tolerance of a public body

accountable to the electorate for the use of public money.
Sun Mine construction set to begin From Page 1 Mayor Ron McRae, sporting a suitably sunny shirt, said it had been a long journey to bring the Sun Mine to reality. “Each year Kimberley has over 300 days of sunshine, despite Mayor Wayne Stetski reminding me Cranbrook is the sunniest city in B.C. I will remind him of the Sun Mine on a regular basis.” McRae called the Sun Mine a promising project and a homegrown, common sense solution. “It speaks to the positive energy of our community,” he said. “It’s an extraordinary project made possible by people who dare to dream differently.” Minister Bennett said that part of his energy portfolio was clean energy and it has been interesting learning what is possible. He said there were several things important about the project, including City ownership. It was also important because the province hasn’t done much with solar energy yet. The Sun Mine will be the first western Canadian solar project to actually generate electricity. He also said the project was important because of the level of collaboration required between Teck, the province, the people of Kimberley, the Colum-
bia Basin Trust, the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust. “It has symbolic importance,” Bennett said. “Kimberley gets a little star beside its name as the first place in B.C. involved in solar energy.” Next to speak was Don Lindsay, President and CEO of Teck, which donated $2 million to the Sun Mine. The Sun Mine will be built on Teck lands, the old concentrator site. “For Teck, this is the latest step in our longstanding partnership with Kimberley,” Lindsay said. He said the City was showing its entrepreneurial spirit and that Teck saw the future of solar energy as very bright. “There is tremendous potential for solar power. Costs will continue to come down.” Lindsay said the $2 million was a donation and Teck doesn’t expect any return on it, but that the company feels they have to get involved with a project that is critical for everyone’s future. It was also a way for Teck to support creating sustainable communities in the places they have operated. “We are excited to be involved. It’s a sustainable legacy
for years to come.” Michel de Spot, President of EcoSmart, another partner in the Sun Mine, and a solar expert, demonstrated how much more affordable solar energy is becoming by holding up a small piece of solar panel. “In the 70s, this square would have cost $200. Now you can get it for $1.” de Spot said that as costs come down more and more people will start using solar energy. Canada is lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of really getting on board with solar, he said, so this project is very timely. “We did extensive research on where to put this plant,” he said. “Solar is a resource like copper or zinc. You dig for sun like you dig for copper.” de Spot said that they looked at 35 years worth of solar data. “We know we’ve got a really, really good spot. It’s all about location, location, location. We have the lands, they are south facing, with a substation and transmission lines, fencing, security, in winter the snow reflects back the sun. We have the people, the Mayor, the support of Teck. “I think this will be the solar land in Canada with the highest

performance. The Sun Mine will be a centre of excellence for solar research.” The CEO of the Columbia Basin Trust, Neil Muth, said that CBT was happy to step in at the eleventh hour when a little additional funding was needed to make the Sun Mine happen. “After the initial phone call, it was clear that Kimberley was committed to this project,” Muth said. “We look for collaboration and inter-generational impacts in the project we support.” The Sun Mine had both, Muth said. Also speaking were Marilyn Peterson from the College of the Rockies and Sun Mine partner Jared Donald of Conergy Canada.

The accusations that problems, and his sheer incorruptibility just won’t go away concern his role in kid-
napping, torturing and murdering pro-democracy protesters during the non-violent campaign to oust Suharto in 1998. “It was my superiors who told me what to do,” Prabowo insisted in one of the presidential debates, but that is not much of a defence in law. Despite his wealthy background, Prabowo is very good at pretending to be the champion of the poor. His political style is somewhere between Juan Peron and Benito Mussolini, belligerently anti-foreign and over-the-top dramatic: he has been known to arrive at rallies riding on a thoroughbred horse. “Our sources of wealth are controlled by foreign hands, foreign companies, so the wealth flows out from the country... Indonesia’s wealth should be controlled by our country,” Prabowo said in the second presidential debate on June 15. He didn’t mention exactly who in the country should control the wealth (for obvious reasons), but the rhetoric works: on the eve of the election on Wednesday, he is neck-andneck with Jokowi. It would be a great pity if such a man bluffed and blustered his way into the Indonesian presidency, but such things happen from time to time. As Abraham Lincoln would have said if he had been willing to disappoint the idealists: “You can fool all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you only have to fool 51 percent of the people for three months before the election and you’re home and dry for five years.” Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London.

A ready-made export market B
ig news in the world o’ marijuana. Looking ahead, we can see how the big marijuana news will affect us in B.C. down the road. It is worth noting that Marc Emery, long known as Canada’s “Prince of Pot,” is set to be released this week after five years in jail in the U.S. (though it could be a while before he can legally return to Canada). Emery, as we all know, is the marijuana advocate and campaigner for marijuana policy reform, in particular legalization. He was a founding member of the Marijuana Party of Canada, and he helped found the British Columbia Marijuana Party (BCMP), which he still currently leads. He was the publisher of “Cannabis Culture” magazine (for years a complimentary copy arrived at the offices of the Townsman every few months — I never did find out how that subscription came to be). He was also a seller of marijuana seeds, and that’s how he ended up in an American jail. The U.S. authorities labelled him a drug dealer for selling seeds into the U.S. The Canadian authorities agreed, and so to jail he went. Oh, how things have changed since
Marc Emery went up the river. The conversation about marijuana reform he took part in never died down — in fact, it just got noisier (though Emery was a pretty noisy part of that conversation). Witness the recent attempt to get marijuana reform on a referendum ballot, here in B.C. “Missed it by that Barry much,” as Maxwell Smart used to say. But the subject Coulter is going to come up again, and it will come up again soon. It will be interesting to see how involved the Prince of Pot will be inclined to be, next time around. More importantly, in marijuana news, Monday this week was the day Washington state issued its first retail marijuana licenses, following the lead of Colorado — where the money is pouring in apparently — and Uruguay, which late last year legalized the cultivation, sale, and consumption of cannabis, becoming the first country in the world to do so (using a model that may well be followed by other countries when they set out to reform their cannabis laws). Washington state has licensed 24 stores in all. Spokane has three stores. Vancouver, Tacoma and Bellingham each have two. Seattle and the other cities on the list have
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
one each. Officials eventually expect to have more than 300 recreational pot shops across the state, according to the Associated Press. And pot prices were expected to reach $25 a gram or higher on the first day of sales. I’m not saying I know, but this is a considerable mark-up from an average street price of between $10 and $15 (medical marijuana is even less expensive). But people are going to pay the prices, that’s for sure. And here in B.C., where we’re famous for our cultivation, we are looking across the border at that readymade export market — just across the border! We’ve gradually started making changes to our medical marijuana rules — it’s my belief that it’s the first step in a very long journey towards decriminalization, regulation and taxation — but all of a sudden, recreational marijuana is where the money is. All that great tax potential for government coffers. Perhaps now that the Prince of Pot is out of jail, Canada’s and British Columbia’s conversation on these matters will pick up pace.

Bandits finish strong at tough U.S. tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO
Young soccer players look to their coach at the beginning of a drill during at a Vancouver Whitecaps FC skills camp at Moir Park. The camp will run Monday to Wednesday, capped off with an appearance from Whitecaps FC forward Omar Salgado and Canadian soccer legend Sam Lenarduzzi.
Whitecaps running soccer skills camp TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Local soccer players are getting some professional coaching at a soccer camp organized by the MLS’s Vancouver Whitecaps this week at Moir Park. It’s a three day event, with kids from U7-U14 learning new skills in morning sessions that will be capped off by an appearance from a professional player and a Canadian soccer legend on Wednesday. Brett Adams, a regional head coach for the Whitecaps, is impressed with the number of young soccer players who registered and the support in Cranbrook. “Currently, we’ve got 62 kids on the course, which, for a first-time effort, is an unbelievable turnaround. We’ve got five groups of kids and five coaches working. We’re excited about it for the amount of kids we’ve got for a first try. “…We’ve got a technical program. The first day today, we worked on passing and running with the ball. Tomorrow, we’re going to be working on shooting and dribbling. The last
day is kind of a recap of all along with a miniWorld Cup.” Occupying the upper fields at Moir Park, Adams and his assistant, Sam Heap, were able to get the camp going with some help from player-coaches both locally and abroad. “We’ve got somebody from Nelson who’s come across who is actually a qualified coach and we also got two younger guys who have played at a decent level and we’ve got Peter [Black], who is in our program and is shown good promise to become a coach.” While the kids get the chance to learn and improve their skills, they will also get the chance to meet Omar Salgado, a forward currently on the roster with the Whitecaps, as well as Sam Lenarduzzi, a Canadian soccer legend who played professionally with the Vancouver Columbus, the predecessor to the Whitecaps. Lenarduzzi represented Canada in the country’s only appearance at the World Cup in 1986 and is a member of the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame.

Young soccer players run through a possession drill during a Vancouver Whitecaps skills camp at Moir Park on Monday. “It’s unbelievable to get him to come out to an area like this,” said Adams. “His background—obviously, he’s played for the Whitecaps for 10 years and has been a professional soccer player, but not only that, he was captain of the Canadian team that went to the World Cup.
“For these kids to meet somebody who’s captained a country at the World Cup is phenomenal.” Salgado, a first overall selection in the MLS SuperDraft in 2011, is in his fourth year with the Whitecaps and is a promising young professional talent, according to Adams.
“It’s really, really exciting for them to meet these type of people because it’s not everyday you get to meet a professional soccer player and another who’s played at the World Cup,” Adams continued. Salgado and Lenarduzzi will be at Moir Park on Wednesday at 11 a.m.

The Bandits finished strong in a tough tournament this weekend in Montana, beating the Whitefish Glacier ‘B’ team 12-4 on Sunday after suffering three straight losses. Glacier scored a single first, but the Bandits responded with a monster of a second inning with five runs and another six in the sixth. Brenden Bird had a big day on the plate with three hits, knocking a pair of singles and a double, while posting an RBI single and scoring two runs. Tyler Thorn picked up the win, throwing three strikeouts, four walks and allowing only five hits in five innings. The Glaciers scored their first run after tripling to third, but the Bandits responded in the second inning to even it up and build a lead. After a pair of walks, Robert Nickell brought home Cedar Kemp and the bats went to work. Bird, Brandon Ouilette, Devon Marra and Thorn went to work at the plate and the boys ended the inning up 5-1. Whitefish ate into the lead, scoring a single run in the fourth inning, while Cranbrook scored once again in the fifth.
PLAYER PROFILE H: 5'9 W: 140 lbs. Age: 15 years old Hometown: Kimberley, BC
Glacier made it interesting late in the contest, scoring twice to make it 6-4 at the top of the sixth, but the Bandits followed up with six runs to put the game way out reach. Nickell, Ouilette and Kei Chlopan all had two RBI’s each, while Noah Renette, Kemp, Bird, Marra and Andrew Schubert all had RBI singles. Prior to the Whitefish game, the Bandits had a tough go at the Polson tournament. They opened the action with a 6-1 loss against the Livingston Braves on Thursday, as the opposition scored all six runs in the first three innings before the Bandits answered back in the sixth. On Friday, the Bandits suffered a 15-2 loss against the Helena Reps, as the winners scored 14 runs in two innings on the road to victory. Saturday wasn’t any easier, with a 5-0 loss to the Mission Valley Mariners. The Bandits gave up four runs in the second inning, as the Mariners shut down the Cranbrook bats all game. NOTE: Tuesday’s (July 8th) home doubleheader with the Glacier ‘B’ Team at Confederation Park has been cancelled.
Brenden BIRD Position: 1st base Pitcher Throws/Bats: Right
Game Notes: Brenden Bird is a second-year player with the Cranbrook Bandits, who can be found at first base or on the pitcher’s mound. Bird was a big part of the Bandit’s 12-4 win over the Whitefish Glacier ‘B’ team, with a strong performance on the plate. Bird had three hits—a double and two singles—scoring twice and posting an RBI single.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been friends with “Louise” for 35 years. She sees the same doctor I do. Apparently, at her last appointment, Louise talked about my grown children and how much they weigh and insinuated that my grown son is too ugly for her daughter. She told this to the entire office staff with the exception of my youngest daughter, who is the office manager. My daughter was on a break when this took place, but her co-workers told her about it when she returned. Needless to say, I was very hurt by what Louise said. I don’t understand why she chose to make such horrible comments about my children, especially to people who know them, and I’m not sure I can forgive her. The friendship certainly will never be the same. Should I confront her? -- Disappointed in My Friend Dear Disappointed: Louise should not be discussing your children negatively with anyone, let alone someone who knows them. And the co-workers should not have repeated these malicious comments to your daughter, who repeated them to you. Now you are forced to reevaluate your friendship with Louise, and no matter the outcome, this incident has poisoned the well. Please talk to Louise, but do so calmly. Tell her that the office staff repeated the unkind words she said about your children, and you’d like to know why she felt the need to disparage them in public. Let her explain herself and, hopefully, apologize. How (or whether) you choose to maintain the friendship after that depends on your comfort levels. Dear Annie: One of my best friends constantly bites her nails. She has cats and dogs, occasionally babysits a toddler and does a lot of gardening. This is a lot of dirt and germs under her nails. Doesn’t she know she could make herself sick? I’ve tried talking to her about her habit, but she says she can’t quit and that nothing bad has happened. But, Annie, she doesn’t even try. How can I make her stop biting her nails? -- Concerned Friend Dear Friend: If your friend washes her hands thoroughly after gardening, lying with the dogs and cats, and changing the baby’s diaper, etc., she is probably OK. The bigger problem is how far down she bites her nails and whether she bites the cuticle. This would make her susceptible to infection. Nail biting is an obsessive-compulsive disorder. The simplest solution is to coat the nails with a bitter-tasting polish. If that doesn’t help, the next step is therapy. But your problem is, you cannot make her do anything she isn’t willing to do. Inform her of the likelihood of infection and direct her to some material on the subject. Then leave her alone. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Venting,” whose two sisters never helped care for their 90-year-old father. I was impressed that one of them had actually cared for him for six weeks in three years. That may not sound like much, but often siblings who still have issues with parents or who are scared to death of this physically and mentally exhausting job want nothing to do with any of it. “Venting” can be consoled by the fact that even if she had discussed this with her siblings before Dad moved in with her, it likely would have made no difference. I have talked with my siblings until I am blue in the face, and in return, I’ve been criticized and ignored, because this is a job no one wants. It’s better to forgive people who let you down rather than hold on to resentment. She can feel satisfied that she did the right thing for her father. -- Been There, Still Doing That Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
