A woman in Kimberley, B.C., has learned a painful lesson about how aggressive does can be during the fawning season.
Last Wednesday, Liz Royer and her Australian shepherd and blue heeler mix Patchy were attacked by a doe while she was running at around 5 a.m. MT near the intersection of Rotary Drive and Knighton Road.
WildSafeBC said it believes the doe has fawns bedding down in the area where Royer passed by.
Royer, 58, was sent to the hospital after the doe s hooves left her two big gashes on her legs, a bullet hole-shaped wound on her ankle and bruises all over her body.

Pollution control centre odours expected
Residents in Marysville have been noticing springtime odours coming from the City of Kimberley’s Pollution Control Centre (PCC).
The PCC is located below Marysville, next to the confluence of Mark Creek and the St. Mary River; spring temperatures have added to the increase in smells from the facility in recent weeks.
Bio-solids removal must be done in the spring and summer months. The process can be annoying to residents but is essential to ensuring space for annual bio-solids. Currently, the PCC uses two drying beds to empty a larger sludge holding basin. There are two sludge holding basins which hold sludge for three to five years.

FireSmart Application
Assistant Fire Chief Will Booth presented council with a request to submit an application to UBCM’s FireSmart Economic Recovery Fund.
The funds, if secured, would be used to “reduce surface fuels” on city-owned lots which have been identified in the CWPP (Community Wildfire Protection Plan). Some lots are small, less than a hectare, and others on the municipal boundaries are large “tens of hectares.”

One-industry towns face a formidable and familiar hurdle when that industry, for reasons of economics or obsolescence, goes kaput. For one soon-to-be fading settlement in the Kootenays region of southeast British Columbia, the answer was schnitzel, schnapps and sauerkraut.
In the 1970s, confronting the inevitable conclusion that its mineral resources would soon be spent, the alpine community of Kimberley embarked on an ambitious scheme of downtown renewal. With mock-chalet facades, an outdoor pedestrian mall known as the Platzl and no shortage of hanging flower baskets and lederhosen, it reinvented itself as “the Bavarian city of the Rockies.”
