VALLEY
Thrift store turns rags to riches
By Elinor Florence
Pioneer Staff
What has to be the most successful charity in
the valley is also the most modest.
The local thrift store profits have tripled since
moving to its new location on main street. For the
past three years it has raised about $10,000 every
month - for a total of $330,000.
Yet the 80 volunteers who slog away at tasks that
are often dirty and physically demanding don’t demand or expect any publicity.
Thrift store coordinator Marjorie Wright of Invermere is a good example. Although she spent more
than 1000 hours at her job last year, she declined to
be photographed since she said others deserve the
recognition more than she does.
Many of the volunteers - all of them women
and most of them seniors - have been working at
the thrift store for years. It’s a long tradition in the
valley, since there has been a women’s group raising
money for the local hospital since the early 1900s.
In 1966 that group officially became the Invermere Health Care Auxiliary, which is a separate
entity from the thrift store. The thrift store passes
the money along to the auxiliary which then decides
how to spend it “for patient care and comfort.”
Unquestionably both the care and comfort of
patients have been improved through their efforts.
Over the past few years a whopping $30,000
purchased a new blood analysis machine for the lab,
$20,000 went towards the new Magnetic Resonance
Imaging machine in Cranbrook, $16,000 was spent
on a defribrillator, $12,000 purchased new cabinets for Columbia House, $10,000 bought a portable ventilator, and dozens of smaller items such
as a dishwasher and wheelchairs were purchased,
right down to a new coffeemaker for the lounge.
Not only the hospital but Meals on Wheels and the
Family Resource Centre have benefitted from the
thrift store.
The sheer volume of items donated and sold is
staggering, especially since most prices are only a
few dollars or less. And the store is open only three
half-days a week: Thursdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays 1 to 4 p.m.
Some people even buy things to make a profit.
Mrs. Wright recalls that she sorted her collection of
ceramic kittens a few years ago and brought several
rejects into the thrift store where they sold for a dollar each.
A few weeks later she opened her birthday present from her daughter to find the same kittens! “She
had purchased them at another second-hand store
for $3 each,” she laughed.
The most popular items in the store are women’s
clothing, and the least popular are baby items. In
Volunteers Mary Smith and Sue Pearce sell a real bargain to newcomers Ashley Laboucane and Kiel Ross.
between is a whole variety of merchandise such as
books and puzzles, kitchen appliances, bedding and
knick-knacks. What the thrift store does not sell is
baby equipment like cribs, because that is against
safety regulations, and furniture.
“We would love to accept larger items, but we
don’t have the space,” she says.
Several husbands of the volunteers pitch in to
maintain the property and move stuff around but
for the most part, the ladies are on their own.
They are better off than they were a few years
ago when they had to cart boxes and bags stuffed
with clothing up and down the stairs to the basement below Lambert-Kipp Pharmacy.
Now people can drop their donations behind
the store in several newly-constructed bins, which
keeps the items safe and dry.
And the new space has also resulted in more
than triple the sales at the former location.
Even volunteers who aren’t up to the heavy work
help out by cutting labels, washing and mending
some of the clothing that deserves to be saved, and
waiting on customers.
What makes the local thrift store so successful,
says Mrs. Wright, is the incredible generosity of locals and visitors alike who donate their used items
rather than selling them elsewhere.
Keep those donations coming, folks - every item
sold means a few dollars more for the good health of
our community.
Field’s coming
to Invermere
By Pioneer Staff
The western end of the former Home Hardware
store downtown will be occupied by Field’s Department Store, Field’s operations manager Mike Buell
confirmed Wednesday.
He said the 55-year-old business, owned by
the Hudson’s Bay Company, operates 104 stores in
Western Canada and is opening new stores this year
in Kimberly, Golden and Invermere.
“Invermere has the potential to be one of our
best stores,” he said.
Mr. Buell said the company looks for towns that
haven’t been approached yet by the big-box retailers such as Walmart. “We’re hoping Walmart won’t
notice Invermere for a while,” he said.
About 30 percent of the new 7,500-square-foot
department store will feature fashions and footwear,
and the remainder will include groceries, housewares, bedding and other items.
The store will hire about five to 10 staff and two
managers. The company hopes to open the new
Field Mini-Mart in May. Leases have not yet been
signed for the rest of the building.

‘All incidents are reported’
By Elinor Florence
Pioneer Staff
The B.C. Minister of Education
has vowed to crack down on school
boards that don’t report incidents of
inappropriate behavior by a teacher
towards a student.
Tom Christensen made the announcement last week following news
about a teacher in the Lower Mainland
who was disciplined on at least three
occasions for sexually inappropriate
behavior, but was able to continue
teaching because his former employers had disciplined him, but had not
reported the incidents.
However, local school board superintendent Bendina Miller said this
will not happen in our school district.
“If an allegation is made by a student, parent, staff member or principal an investigation is immediately
carried out,” she said, adding that the
investigation is confidential for all parties concerned.
Based on the findings of that investigation, the board has the discretion either to dismiss the charge as
unfounded or report it to the B.C.
College of Teachers - and in a case
where it is suspected that a crime has
been committed, to the RCMP.
In spite of its name, the B. C. ColTodd Francis Thompson, who was

Federation. He said the union sup-
ports full disclosure of any incident,
including touching or speaking to a
student inappropriately.
However, he warned that teachers deserve a fair hearing. “We want
to protect children, but teachers also
need protection from the rumour mill,
which in a small community like ours
can be very damaging.”
He said he has known cases where
a teacher has left the community before his innocence has been established
because he feels his career has already
been compromised by the gossip that
is circulating.
He added that in some cases a
student will say something which is
blown out of proportion and then
feels badly because a rumour against
the teacher has been started.
However, there have been cases
across Canada where abusive teachers
have moved from school to school before being apprehended. In a practice
known in education circles as ‘passing
the trash,’ some school boards have
simply dismissed a teacher rather than
pursuing legal action, allowing him or
her to resume teaching.
The names of B.C. teachers who
have been disciplined by the B.C. College of Teachers for can be found on
the college website at www.bcct.ca.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
‘Choose nature over development’
Dear Editor:
There are villagers in parts of England who are going to extraordinary
lengths to retain the character and
charm of their villages.
They could be accused of being elitist by those anxious to cash in
on the beautiful scenery and flow of
tourists who flock to see the ancient
churches, quaint houses and shops.
These tourists actually like to amble
along footpaths and ramble through
woods, ooh and aah over the variety of
flora and fauna, still flourishing. My
point being, that they come because
of what these villages are now, and not
what they could become.
These villagers club together to
form a pact to keep out big developers and multi-chain stores. They have
agreed to have less so that all may benefit in the communities. Hence one
will see the butcher, baker and candlestick makers of old plying their trades
in the high street, farmer’s markets and
street vendors, small hotels, inns, bedand-breakfast outlets and campsites.
Jumbo, Wild Forever
By Jim Fisher, Windermere
There’s a mountain range in the Kootenays called Jumbo.
It’s got badgers, bears and mountain goats,
animals whose habitat is there.
There are mountain peaks, glaciers and lush valleys,
the awesome scenery stretches afar.
Each season brings new vision
that can take your breath away.
The seasons bring a new reason for savoring simply what’s there.
In the winter the snow just glistens,
the mountains stretch afar,
they seem to reach to the heavens,
the blue sky and then to the stars.
the moon’s rays at night make the snow crystals glisten,
the creak underfoot a guitar.
The summer brings flowers, alpine meadows and bird song,
a chance to be reborn again.
A rarer and rarer sight as villages
and small towns become mega-places
for those tourists who expect all the
noise of motorized terrain and water
vehicles, bars, restaurants, night clubs
and what-have-you. They are making everything uniform and predictable with none of the surprises and
delights that nature can still provide.
To put a marina on a small lake that
is pond-sized compared to most lakes
in British Columbia is like filling one’s
bathtub with plastic toys.
To erect multi-storied buildings in
this area is to drive away any existing
wildlife that still cause people to slow
down, stop and take photographs,
and replaces nature’s beautiful scenery
with human takeover that for all its
aesthetic ideals, still falls short of what
nature has to offer.
There is plenty of land on the
highway to accommodate the grandiose plans of this latest development
proposal, without spoiling views for
existing residents and driving away
the little bit of wildlife that sill roams
these lakeside streets.
How about installing a good bus
service to take these people around
town? It would be of benefit to the

The developers - they don’t get it,
making all the decisions from afar.
The locals have a passion, a burning gut feeling, to keep Jumbo alive.
Keep the valley open to the people and let animals and nature thrive.
The government took the decision
to environmental assessment and the people made their appeal,
the letters and faxes and emails
were received by deaf ears it appears.
The rubber stamp came down against us.
Done deal - the government knows better than we.
The final decision will go elsewhere,
The province has passed the buck,
It should be an easy decision and we hope it will be positive for us.
You see, there’s a very good reason, a passion that comes from inside.
We want to pass onto our children
a wilderness loved far and wide.
Margaret O’Sullivan, Invermere
Valentine’s Dinner
Now a big corporation wants to develop it,
creating hotels, restaurants and bars.
The mountains would be laced with chair lifts, gondolas and cars.

of Crown land belonging to us.
It’s so very good for business so
Why are we making a fuss?
Why do they want to change our Jumbo,
With ski lodges all about?
We don’t want it the same as Europe
with rampant development throughout.
that’s why visitors come here
to marvel at Nature’s display,
be in awe of Creator’s invention,
where hikers, campers and cross-country skiers
can find their natural way.
elderly in the community. How about
low-income housing complexes for
the struggling who have to rely on the
food bank and thrift shop?
Environmentalists are telling us to
make do with less to maintain earth’s
dwindling resources, but this falls on
deaf ears to the property developers
coming into the area.
Soon it will become a jungle of
buildings, the scene of some futuristic movie where man and his edifices
are more important than earth, water,
trees and beautiful scenery still hosting wildlife.
Some prairie ranchers are forming groups to keep out property developers. A professor in Saskatchewan
bought up acres of land around Saskatoon just to let indigenous grasses
flourish. We have people in this community who care more about the quality of life than the almighty dollar.
People who see the value of hanging
onto what is already here for future
generations to enjoy. Money markets come and go, but once nature is
spoiled it’s either gone forever or takes
generations to recover.
Both dinners served with Green Salad or Prawn Bisque to start.

OBITUARIES
John Halliday Blake
Sept. 5, 1914 - Jan. 26, 2005
John passed away January
26 at the Invermere District
Hospital in the company of his
entire family. John’s great wit
and humour could always bring
a smile to everyone’s day.
John enjoyed reading, classic car restoration and was an
unbeatable billiards player. He
loved to socialize with the locals
and could never get enough of
cruising town in his Lincoln.
He will be greatly missed
by his loving wife of 56 years,
Yvette, his son Randy, daughter-in-law Fern, and his granddaughters Haley, Naomi and
Teal. We could never have asked
for a more exceptional, gentle
and caring Dad and PaPa.
To all the support staff, volunteers, residents, Maggie at
Columbia House, Dr. White
and the incredibly kind and
caring nurses that were there
for John and his family - a very
heartfelt THANK-YOU.
In respect of his wishes there
will not be a service. In lieu of
flowers a donation may be to
Columbia House.
“Forever cruising - never
forgotten”
