Tower 18 rebuild

With the help of a many dedicated community volunteers the Kimberley Ski Hill will soon have the historic Tower 18 standing proudly on the ski hill horizon. Tower 18 tumbled over during a winstorm in May 2010, due to rotting wooden supports.
What an amazing job all of the volunteers have done! Thanks go to locals, Percy Mackie, Loni Leinweber, Rob McInnis, Vern Leinweber, Naomi Crooks, Estela Ponte,Christine Rinaldi, Brian Mohr, Brian Copping, Joel McLay (John McLay's son) Ted Roberston, Patti Oakley, Karen Oakley, Joanne Mather, Kathy Korven,Ted Funston (new area manager for RCR), and RCR loader operator Adam. Thanks also to Ted Funston for donating 7 gallons of (original) blue stain for Tower Eighteen.
We have one more beam to replace this Sunday, October 2, a bit more staining, and then the big Sandor crane will be called upon to lift the tower into it's rightful place.
What a wonderful community process this has been! :)

Cheers   Darryl
