NEWSRobbers flee into wetlands

By Elinor FlorencePioneer Staff

Burglar alarm systems foiled a couple of crimi-nals who tried to break into three businesses early Sunday morning, one after another.

RCMP Const. Tony Hansen attended a call at the Royal Canadian Legion, where someone had tried to force their way in through a back door. Al-though they broke the lock, they were unable to get past the wooden security bar and when the alarm sounded, they fled.

Laurie Meadows, whose husband Jerry is presi-dent of the Legion, said they were called by the alarm company and went to the downtown building. The police arrived about 15 minutes later and together they searched the premises but nothing was found.

The RCMP officer then responded to an alarm at the Lakeside Pub, where he found someone had gained entrance to the building through a basement door. The criminals had not been able to make their way upstairs where the cash registers are kept. Again, nothing was taken.

Guido Rochheizen, owner with his wife Helga of the Lakeside, said the perpetrators tried to disable the alarm system by cutting the telephone wire lead-ing into the building but they made a mistake and cut the cable TV connection instead.

“When they forced open the basement door, the alarm went off and the alarm company called me at home. I was there within a few minutes but the alarm had already scared them off.”

He called the RCMP and together he and Const. Hansen searched the building. There is no connect-

ing door between the basement and the main floor where the cash registers are located, so nothing was taken.

As Const. Hansen was leaving, he heard anoth-er alarm sounding at the Petro-Canada station in Athalmer. He raced over there just in time to see two males exiting the service station carrying the cash drawers from the cash registers.

When they saw the police vehicle, they dropped the cash drawers and fled on foot into the boggy area behind the station.

The officer pursued them on foot but lost them in the darkness. He then called for back-up and a dog was brought in to track the criminals; however, they were not found.

Please call the RCMP at 342-9292 if you have any information about these crimes.

POUNDING THE PAVEMENT - NDP candidate Norm Macdonald of Gold-en and his wife Karen visited Invermere this week to meet and greet local resi-dents. The campaign is in full swing with a race between Norm and current MLA Wendy McMahon of the Liberals. Here Norm and Karen chat with Carol Bradshaw, left, owner of the Invermere Pet Shoppe.

Last chance to skiBy Pioneer Staff

It was a very up-and-down sea-son at the ski hill.

But now that the Panorama Ski Resort is closing for the summer, there’s plenty of fresh powder.

The hill traditionally closes every year just after the Easter weekend and the school spring break.

But the ski hill received 27 cen-timeters of fresh snow this past week and conditions right now are excel-lent, according to Eric Ommundsen, Marketing Manager for Panorama Mountain Village.

“It should be a good closing

weekend with great snow conditions and plenty of activities,” he said.

He said the weather has made it a difficult year, but Panorama was luckier than most resorts in the area and around the country.

The Slush Cup and Kokanee Rockin’ Airband Competition will be held on Saturday followed by the Downhill Dummy Race on Sunday.

Disc jockey Will Comrie will be on the Great Hall Deck along with live music and BBQs to entertain ski-ers and guests the entire weekend.

A buffet dinner and Glacier Nightclub dance party is scheduled for Saturday evening.

April Fool!

A lot of trusting folks out there were fooled by our computer-altered photograph of a goose masquerading as an underwater sea creature named “Windy” featured in last week’s Pioneer.

Photographer Lisa Ede used her computer to erase the goose’s head, mak-ing the bird look like a whale’s tail instead. The article was completely fab-ricated.

NEWSPynelogs

completedBy Pioneer Staff

If only the original owner Lord Randolph Bruce could see it now!

After months of hard work, the reno-vation of Pynelogs is finished. Last weekend about 25 volunteers showed up to help move belongings back into the historic house.

Owned by the town of Invermere, the house is leased to the Colum-bia Valley Arts Council for use as an arts centre. Several meetings are planned in the newly-renovated arts centre this month, but the grand opening is sched-uled for May 13.

New windows mimic the style of the old windows, the hard-wood floors have been refinished and the rot-ting logs replaced on the exterior.

Here Jami Scheffer, new employee of the arts council, finds just the right spot for an an-tique spinning wheel.

CORRECTION

Eugene Lambert opened the first drug store in Invermere called Lambert Pharmacy. Doug Kipp became a partner in 1971 and the drug store was re-named Lambert-Kipp Pharmacy.
