Stoner hunt irks Coastal Nations
Black Press Port McNeill NHL player Clayton Stoner was legally licensed to hunt a grizzly bear in B.C. when he took a boar during a family hunting outing in May of this year. But his hunt generated controversy last week when the Coastal
First Nations released graphic photos of a bear’s discarded carcass in the Kwatna estuary as part of a documentary film designed to end bear hunting in the Great Bear Rainforest. Other photos, published last week by the Vancouver Sun, show
Stoner posing with the severed head of a grizzly bear, and decked out in camouflage fatigues. The bear’s nickname was ‘Cheeky’, and it was being documented by filmmakers from Coastal First Nations (CFN). Last year, the CFN banned bear hunting
on its territories. The film was screened Sept. 4 at Telus World of Science. “I grew up hunting and fishing in British Columbia and continue

All’s cool with the pool — for now Gazette staff PORT HARDY—The local swimming pool is back up and running on its regular fall schedule after a leak was discovered and patched late last month. The pool schedule got off
to a late opening and closed for a weekend several days later while staff and investigators searched for the source of a leak that was causing hundreds of litres of water a day to drain from the nearly 40-year-old
facility. Eventually, a leak was discovered in an expansion joint of the pool’s shell and was patched with a special underwater silicone putty. “The next step now will be to wait and monitor to
see how well it works,” Port Hardy Recreation foreman Gord Wolden said. “We found a leak and we patched a leak, but we don’t know whether it’s THE leak.” Wolden said the pool was scheduled to reopen
NEW HOURS - CLOSED TUESDAYS
following the weekend inspection, whether or not the source of the mystery leak was determined. Following patching of the leak, staff committed to re-opening the pool for regular hours.

SD85 backs CUPE raise J.R. Rardon Gazette editor PORT HARDY—In an effort to provide a long-awaited raise to its support workers and forestall a potential job action, trustees of School District 85 Monday voted on a cost-savings plan that will be forwarded to the B.C. Treasury Board for final approval. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is without a contract and is currently in negotiations with the province. In a split vote in a private, incamera session before Monday’s regular monthly board meeting, the trustees agreed to cuts from “non-core” services that would free up funds for a pay raise for its CUPE staff. “The government has asked all boards in the province to generate a savings plan out of non-core services, in order to fund a pay increase for support staff,” SD85 secretarytreasurer John Martin said. Local trustees approved a plan that will be forwarded to the B.C. Treasury Board for final approval, but they were not happy about the “savings plan” mandate, which the government requested of every

ment removed funding protection from school districts, meaning districts with declining enrolment like SD85 were going to have to find a way to manage year-over-year reductions in operating budgets through cuts in budget or services. The prior period adjustment cited by Martin slashes the District’s projected net operations deficit from $575,000 for 2013 to around $100,000, he said. “This really puts us in a good position, in terms of our managed approach to the loss of our funding protection,” he said. More good news Assistant superintendent Katherine McIntosh informed trustees that, while overall enrolment in the district continues to decline, the number of students to start the 2013-14 year districtwide are running well above projection. “We came in 45 students above our projections,” said McIntosh. “We are still down compared to our overall enrolment last year; we’re down about 33 students. But it’s good news we’re over our projected enrolment.”

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Malcolm Island Economic Development Strategic Plan The Regional District of Mount Waddington proposes to engage the services of a consulting firm to undertake an Economic Development Strategic Plan for Malcolm Island. Project Description Sointula/Malcolm Island is experiencing a declining population and is at risk of losing vital business and community infrastructure that threaten its long term viability for investment, enterprise and working families. While the Official Community Plan (OCP) provides helpful guidance to react to development interests, many feel a more proactive approach is needed to generate development within those guidelines. There is an opportunity to guide the efforts of the Malcolm Island Grassroots Development Forum (MIGDF) through the development of integrated community economic development objectives within a strategic plan and associated community SWOT analysis. This plan and analysis will be the principal foundation in the building of the Forum’s capacity to affect change, in concert with local organizations, government and other interests. Contacts and Proposals Project Details and clarification of terms and conditions of the proposal process shall be directed to: Pat English, Manager of Economic Development Regional District of Mount Waddington Phone 250-956-3161 E-mail penglish@rdmw.bc.ca An electronic copy of the proposal marked Malcolm Island Economic Development Strategic Plan, addressed to Pat English, Manager of Economic Development, penglish@rdmw.bc.ca must be received by 4:30 p.m., Friday Sept 20, 2013. Submissions received after this time will be returned to the sender.

Stoner defends hunt

Premier Christy Clark said.

Countdown starts on B.C. ‘sensible’ pot bid VICTORIA – Petition sheets for the initiative to amend the Police Act were issued to proponent Dana Larsen, Elections BC announced Monday. Larsen, former head of B.C.’s Marijuana Party and a recent candidate for B.C.’s NDP leadership, has proposed that B.C. go around the federal prohibition with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults. He visited Port Hardy and Port McNeill in
late August, in an effort to recruit local canvassers. Registered canvassers have 90 days to collect the signatures of at least 10 percent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 electoral districts. “In order to sign the petition, individuals must be registered on the provincial voters list as of today and may sign the petition sheet only for the electoral district in which they are registered to vote,” says Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer. “The proponent must return signed petition sheets to Elections BC by Dec. 9, 2013.”
Teresa Rudy
There are no registered opponents or currently registered initiative advertising sponsors for the initiative petition. For more information, visit the Elections BC website. Elections BC has 42 days from the date the completed petition pages are submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer to verify that those who signed the petition were entitled to do so. The proponent must file a financing report with the Chief Electoral Officer within 28 days of submitting the petition. If the petition has enough valid signa-
tures and the legislated financing requirements are met by the proponent, the Chief Electoral Officer will send a copy of the initiative petition and the draft Bill to the Select Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives. The Select Standing Committee must meet within 30 days of receiving the initiative petition and draft Bill. Within 90 days of their first meeting, the Committee must either table a report recommending introduction of the Bill or refer the initiative petition and the draft Bill to the Chief Electoral Officer
Terri came to Hardy Buoys in August 2010 with 11 years of experience processing fish at Englewood. Able to take her skills and apply them to a ready to eat food manufacturing facility was the change she was looking for. For two years she moved around many areas of the plant learning various aspects of production. For the past year Terri’s attention to detail, knowledge of products, and ability to work well under pressure has made a significant contribution to the Shipping & Receiving Dept. she now assists. Terri is an extremely dedicated and committed employee. She is on the Health & Safety Committee, was part of the company’s Relay for Life team, and signs up to help with any fundraising or community events the company takes part in. Born and raised in the Okanagan, Terri moved to Port McNeill in 1981 with her husband Dwayne. The laid back lifestyle and sense of community was what Terri appreciated while raising 3 children. Now they both truly enjoy being grandparents x 4, and look forward to retirement when the time is right! Terri says what she likes most about working at Hardy Buoys is the Mon. – Fri. shift, and says she “see’s huge potential for the company, and wants to be part of it”. Hardy Buoys appreciates her positive attitude and is happy Terri is part of their AMAZING crew!

Sowing a seed for fair As he brought the annual Mount Waddington Regional Fall Fair to a close in Port McNeill Sunday afternoon, Malcolm Fleeton assured the audience there will be a fair again in 2014. But he was unable to identify its location. The fair has roots in each of the North Island’s three “Port” communities, and is scheduled to rotate to Port Alice next September. However, local volunteers who headed the Port Alice fair committee in its last appearance there, in 2011, will not be back to take on the duties. If a new coordinator is not found in Port Alice, Fleeton said Port Hardy will take on the fair. It is our hope that somebody — or, better yet, a group of somebodies — will rise to the occasion in Port Alice and maintain the village’s turn. Interested, but unfamiliar with putting on an event of this type? No problem. A number of current fair committee members, including Fleeton and his wife, Brenda, stand ready to provide assistance and direction. Any new director will have plenty of backing, with set-up, judging, entertainment and more. Port Alice has a rich history of community involvement and has always been great about throwing its doors open to its neighbours. And with its arena conveniently located next to the recently renovated Community Centre, Port Alice also boasts the ideal facilities. Hope to see you all there next season.

Curing a community cash crunch VICTORIA – Local politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship. One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of revenue but

Economic growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, which aren’t shared with local governments.

government in the 1980s. The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federalprovincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it. Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done. Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes.

Fair play on phone spectra Dear editor, To anyone with a cell phone: As we listen to Canada’s major cell phone players and their cries of foul against the possible migration of Verizon north, there are some points of concern. The spectrum that is coming up for auction was originally designated for entry-level companies breaking into the cellular industry. Verizon is many times larger than all the Canadian carriers combined, and this leaves many wondering why they need this extra advantage. Our big three carriers are not allowed to bid on this spectrum. Should a large carrier from another country come into Canada as a result of this type of spectrum auction, there are no requirements for them to add coverage to the network, and small rural areas will continue to have their current spotty service. As we already know from other large players who have entered into our consumer markets, the profits all leave, the bestpaying jobs are at corpo-
rate headquarters, and there is very little, if any, trickledown to any local clubs, organizations, or volunteer groups. It is fair to let large multinational companies bid on this spectrum if the field is levelled. Open the auction to all parties. Require that new entries into the market add new coverage to the network they use. This would do nothing to encourage entry into the market from smaller players, but would allow Canadian companies to compete fairly. It is very reasonable that these large companies commit to jobs, infrastructure, and align themselves as good corporate citizens. Our business is largely based on the consumer cell phone market, and we feel these are valid concerns. We would encourage the many organizations that solicit us on an annual basis to question this process, and what the real gains and losses will be.
Letters to the editor
Gary Wells Hardy Sound Port Hardy
Dear editor, The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) is the bargaining agent that represents over 8,000 employees of Canada Post Corporation who work in Rural Post Offices. In many cases, the Postmaster is responsible for providing a building for the community Post Office. Our membership, consisting of 95 per cent women, relies on meaningful employment in communities where opportunities are limited. CPAA has received notice that the Canada Post Corporation is proposing to no longer offer Saturday service in the Sointula and
Alert Bay Post Offices. In Holberg, which is a Postmaster provided premise, the hours of service to the community will be reduced by nine hours per week. Canada Post is proposing to open the office later in the morning and close earlier in the afternoon. This Post Office is already closed Saturdays; this proposed change will make it even more difficult for residents to access postal services. Rural Canada is not a burden to Canada Post. Information taken from a Canada Post report indicates that the cost to deliver to a Post Office
& Ra s t n Ra ves
box is approximately $59 annually. The cost for a CMB (Rural Community mail box) is $108 annually and door to door delivery in urban Canada is $283 annually. If Canada Post needs to make reductions, they are looking in the wrong place. Rural Canadians support their local Post Office. Canada Post is making it a well-known fact that mail volumes are down. A not-so-well-known fact is that parcel volumes are UP! Especially in rural and remote areas of Canada, where residents do not have the availability of shops as those in the urban areas do.
Many seniors live in our rural communities and can no longer travel to do their shopping. CPAA is asking you to support your Post Office. Canada Post is making massive cuts to small rural offices. When a community loses it’s Post Office, it loses its identity. Please let Canada Post and your local government know that you do not support a reduction of service to your local Post Office. Sincerely, Barb Lincoln, President CPAA, BC & Yukon Branch

Local author paints shades of grey Gazette staff PORT ALICE— While her work may be titled Disappearing in Plain Sight, local author Francis Guenette seems to be doing anything but, as interest builds in her debut novel. Guenette’s latest promotional outing will be as host of a book club discussion at the Port Alice Library tonight, Sept. 12, but the author has already completed numerous events across the Tri-Port area since the book’s launch in March of this year. And it seems to be paying off, the work garnering critical praise, four and five star reviews on Amazon.com and award nominations online. The novel, which the author describes as “modern fiction with a splash of romance,” fol-
lows a summer at the fictional Crater Lake, a tight-knit North Island community and the characters’ personal dealings with themes like loss, bullying and emotional trauma. Guenette draws on her experience as an educator, researcher and trauma counsellor to paint complex and truly realized characters who, as the back cover copy describes, “are forced to grapple with the realities of grief and desire to discover that there are no easy choices — only shades of grey.” The author began working on the novel around four years ago while working on her PhD thesis. “it almost seemed like a distraction,” she recalled. As the characters
developed however, the story took on a life of its own and the novel began to take shape: “The characters started to define the story.” As she embarked on the publishing process, the indefatigable Guenette also began blogging about the experiences of a firsttime writer striving to see her work in print. With that mission complete, Guenette set out to find her readers. “The biggest surprise was the support from the local community,” said the author. “That was just wonderful.” Guenette had envisioned selling her book primarily through e-sales, but the novel quickly became a hit amongst locals. “(Guenette’s husband, Bruce Witzel) approached manager
Bill Faeder Jr. of FP Foods in Port Alice to ask if he would carry Disappearing in Plain Sight,” the author’s blog explains. “Bill was open to the idea. He wanted to start off small, taking a few books at a time and seeing how it went. After the sixth invoice, he has decided to take a bigger order.” Disappearing in Plain Sight is also available locally from Cafe Guido and Rexall Drug in Port Hardy, Marketplace IGA and ShopRite Marine in Port McNeill and from stores in Winter Harbour and Telegraph Cove. The e-book edition can be found at Amazon.com. Work is already well underway for Guenette’s follow-up, tentatively scheduled
for release in early 2014. Titled The Light Never Lies, the novel will return the reader to Crater Lake as the characters face a new set of challenges. Guenette explains on her blog: “The Light Never Lies picks up the threads of everyone’s life almost one year down the road. If the theme of Disappearing in Plain Sight was getting on with your life, the theme of The Light Never Lies is how that getting on can get messy.” The author’s book discussion in the Port Alice library will begin at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12. For more information on the author visit her blog site at disappearinginplainsight.com.

Exercises like swimming, jogging and cycling are aerobic because the muscles demand a continuous stream of oxygen to burn the energy stored in their cells. Strength-training exercises like weight-lifting are considered non-aerobic since the energy is derived mainly from biochemical reactions not oxygen. But both types of exercises are important to good health.

Obesity research is going in the direction of the microchip. In the future, it’s hoped that a microchip can be implanted in the vagus nerve. This nerve sends hunger signals to the brain. The chip may be able to send another message to override the vagus message and, in essence, control appetite. Still a little way in the future.

Tour supporters now Tour riders Sidney North Saanich RCMP reserve constables ready to fight childhood cancer Devon MacKenzie News staff
As with many Tour de Rock riders, the motivation for Terry Curry to get involved stems from personal experiences with cancer, including a battle of his own. Curry is the oldest rider on the tour at 66 and not only battled prostate cancer himself, after being diagnosed in 2005, but he also lost a brother to childhood cancer when he was young. “In 1965 I lost my 15-year-old brother to leukemia,” Curry said. “He was diagnosed in September and by June he passed away. There was no real treatment then, nothing like compared to now.” Curry said the memories of his brother and the thought of offering hope to children battling the same disease spurred him on to apply to participate in the Tour. “I had always wanted to ride in the Tour de Rock but events in my life just never lined up,” he said. Curry spent 29 years with the RCMP and retired in 2007, after which he began working as a reserve constable at the airport with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. When those positions were cut this past spring, Curry began working with the RCMP’s South Island Integrated Marine Unit. He’s thankful the stars finally aligned for him to be

able to participate in the Tour. “I am working a few days a week doing that right now which has given me the flexibility to train for the Tour. I was lucky enough to be able to take off time in September and October for fundraising and the ride itself,” he said. Curry’s teammate from the Saanich Peninsula, also a reserve constable with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, is Alan Neville-Rutherford. The two met through work connections, with Curry working as the RCMP reserve constable for the airport and Neville-Rutherford working for G4S, which handles airport security. Personal connections with cancer are also what spurred Neville-Rutherford to get involved.
“The main motivation for me to ride this year was that I had a cousin who passed away from lymphoma a year after being diagnosed,” Neville-Rutherford said. “We were very close. He had three teenage kids and was the same age as me so it was a real eye-opener.” Neville-Rutherford has been a member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP auxiliary since 2006 and an avid supporter of the Tour de Rock for many years. “You could usually find me at the Thursday (Sidney) Night Market selling Tour de Rock T-shirts at the RCMP booth and people always asked me if I was the Tour de Rock rider,” he said. “I’m happy to be able to say that I am now, and I’m hoping to do every-

thing I can to raise as much as possible for the pediatric cancer.” The two teammates are training three days a week with the 19 other riders, and credit their trainers in getting them in top shape for the Tour, which begins Sept. 21. “Neither of us ever thought we’d be able to ride the speeds and distances we do. It’s really amazing how much the trainers have helped us and guided us,” Neville-Rutherford said. “Every day we ride it’s a new challenge but a doable one, when you think about what those kids go through. At the end of the day, it really comes down to that — supporting each other as a team so we can raise as much as possible for the kids.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Bondue claims Open in playoff J.R. Rardon Gazette editor SEVEN HILLS—A two-hole playoff, an all-time low score for an 18-hole round and long-awaited redemption for a lifelong club member highlighted the annual Men’s Open Golf Championship at Seven Hills Golf and Country Club, played in perfect, mid-summer conditions last weekend. Rory Bondue of Port Alice came from three strokes behind in the two-day, 36-hole tourney to force a playoff with Mackenzie Osbourne of Comox, then dropped an easy tap-in for birdie to claim a one-stroke victory on the second hole of the playoff. Both players finished with two-round totals of three-underpar 133, and both dropped birdie putts on hole No. 8, the first playoff hole. When the action moved to No. 9 for a second playoff hole, Bondue lofted his approach shot within 12 feet of the flag while Osbourne pushed his shot long and wide, off the green. Bondue narrowly missed his putt for eagle, curling it around the cup to leave the easy birdie tap, and claimed the low gross title when Osbourne two-putted for par. It was the first Open

championship here for Bondue, a two-handicapper who also forced a playoff in 2010 before settling for second place. He admitted this one left a better taste. “Oh, yeah,” he said. “I always like having a 10-footer for eagle.” Osbourne, who carries a zero handicap, was playing for the first time at Seven Hills. He said he got off to a slow start on the weekend, but that course familiarity played no role in the playoff finish. “I shanked my approach, and he put his right on the money,” Osbourne said with a nod toward Bondue. “It was a nice weekend.”

The overall championship went to Seven Hills manager and club pro Kevin Black, who shot 61-62-123 to outduel fellow pros Chris Seeley of Sun Peaks, B.C. (132) and Perrie Scarlett of Vancouver (139). Black’s first-round 61 topped the 18-hole course record of 62, set by Jim Smith in July of 1995. But Smith’s 62 came on the original, par-70 course designed for two trips around the hilly, nine-hole course. But the first hole last weekend was played as a 150-yard, par-3 from a temporary tee box, due to repairs being made on fairway of the hole, which normally
plays as a 354-yardyard, par-4 hole. Asked if his low-60s scores were representative of his usual totals on the course, he just shrugged. Saturday’s and Sunday’s rounds represented his first 18-hole rounds on his own course. “I haven’t played it this year,” he said, apologetically. “I’ve played nine holes a couple of times, and played a few holes here and there.” Black said he had no intention of contesting Smith’s spot on the
record board, since his own low round came on a shortened course. One of the local club members responsible for that fairway repair on the first fairway, Rick Milligan, captured the low-net title for the first time. A 19-handicapper, Milligan is one of the founding members of the club, but didn’t play in the Open in the first several years after it was started in 1983. Upon accepting the low-net trophy, he thanked the other golfers for putting up with
the temporary tee box on the first hole and said that, if everything goes according to plan, they can return to the full, par-70 course for next year’s Open. “These were the best two rounds I’ve ever shot in my life,” said Milligan, who posted gross totals of 79-84 and finished with a net of 11-under 125 to edge Fletcher Crook by a stroke. “It was definitely worth the wait.” See additional results in Scoreboard, page 14.

Nail-biting finish to Slo-pitch season Gazette staff PORT HARDY— The ball season finished up last weekend at the Storey’s Beach diamonds with a pair of wrap-up tourneys. The ladies closed out the Slo-pitch season in style with a down-tothe-wire, extra inning final before the men’s teams took to the field for the fastpitch final. A field of six ladies teams played off Saturday to leave No Glove No Love facing Combo B in the finale. It took an eighth inning to separate the teams, Alysha Nelson’s drive to left field bringing home Nikki Richards to give No Glove the 16-15 win after Combo was held scoreless at the top of the inning. A huge rally at the bottom of the seventh saw No Glove pull back an eight run deficit to tie the game and force the extra inning. A three-run double from Combo’s pitcher Sterrin Lazarowich added to an earlier RBI to give Combo a daunt-

ing 15-7 lead heading into the bottom of the inning. When a No Glove sacrifice hit to centre field gave Combo a second out for two scored the game looked in the bag. But No Glove’s batters kept finding the
gap for base hits. Erin Klatt stepped up to the plate with bases loaded and her right field single brought home a pair of runners. Ruth Jacobson then drove down the left to bring in another and close the gap to three.
Raylene Clair, who opened the inning, returned to the plate with bases loaded and her single to centre field brought two more home before Arlene Clair drove in the tying run. A potential game-
winning hit over third base by Richards was superbly caught on the dive by Combo’s left fielder Carrie Harilstad to keep the game alive and force the decider. The teams had started quietly, taking two runs apiece into the third when Combos’ batters had a breakout inning. Five single RBIs with one out gave the team a healthy lead to take out to the field. No Glove looked to be in further trouble after a pair of catches saw them two out and 7-2 down. Tara Nelson stepped up to bat with the bases loaded and her crucial centre field drive brought home three runs to keep No Glove in sight, Combo B getting their third out next pitch. Combo rallied next inning, scoring two and holding No Glove. Both teams notched up a pair of runs between the fifth and sixth before the game erupted in the 12- run seventh to set up the dramatic extra inning. Nelson was award-
ed the MVP for No Glove while Roselyn Jennison was given the nod as Combo’s MVP. Next up, the men took to the field in the fast pitch finale with the Woss Lake Brewers taking on Where My Pitches At. A solid all-round performance from the seasoned Brewers, including a pair of five run innings at bat and three shutouts, earned them a 14-6 win over the Pitches. Home runs from Glen Moore in the second and fifth capped the Brewers’ five run innings in a series of strong at-bats, the Woss outfit’s base runners quick to steal at any opportunity. They didn’t get it all their own way, how-
ever, as the Pitches’ outfield picked off virtually all that came their way, holding the Brewers scoreless in the third and fourth. At bat, the Pitches’ Jake Colbourne smashed a homer to left field to open the second and threatened to add another on a number of occasions, clearing the fence the wrong side of the foul line. In the end, the two runaway innings at bat and the consistent pitching of Bill Rushton gave the Brewers a deserved win. Rushton earned the Brewers’ MVP for his efforts while the Pitches’ centre fielder Shelby Cockell took the MVP for his side.

Mountain goats don’t kid around Mountain goats truly inhabit a world apart. They are a rarely seen species that most folks will only view as white specks traversing sheer rock faces along the coastal mountains or Rockies. It’s goat country, a land of great towering swaths of rock, a cold, barren, windswept land of snow and glaciers, a land resistant to the passing of time as any place on this planet and one of the last frontiers on earth that man hasn’t directly impacted. It’s a species of which we have limited knowledge. We know little about their behavior patterns. Their population ranges anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 in North America, but is hard to estimate due to the rugged and remote terrain they live in. It is believed more than 70 per cent of these mountain goats live in B.C. Over the many seasons in the mountains we’ve been lucky to experience many encounters with these quite playful and excitable animals, which Captain Cook suggested were a variety of polar bear. Spending more than a month this past sea-
Our Backyard with Lawrence Woodall son in the alpine and glacier habitat, we had our usual population of grizzlies feeding on the south-facing slopes, accompanied by the usual compliment of wolverines, marmots, porcupines, and more mountain goat encounters than you could shake a stick at. We started out in the grey light of morning on Aug. 1, traversing the west-facing ridge of Snow Cap Mountain. At about 8,000 feet we crossed paths with a juvenile billy headed in the opposite direction; it was the direction that he had come from that interested us, and following the ridge below us we came to a level area with three small tarns just below the lip of the glacier. Skirting the tarns we noticed two nannies with their kids and a juvenile billy on the same ridge that we saw
the other billy. It was at least another hour before the sun broke over the peak, but our patience paid off as the sun triggered the goats’ breakfast bell. They wandered up in our direction towards the feed around the lakes. We quickly moved down into the bowl where we set up with the sun to our backs. Instead of the six goats we were expecting, we were inundated with more than 30 goats from three different herds. It was two hours of monkey business as there were several anti-parallel posturing, which is a head to butt circling, a typical fighting posture. Goats have thicker skin on their posteriors to deal with the butting. There was lots of staring down, another form of passive aggression; some of the goats wandered our way to stare us down. Usually these conflicts arise when goats enter another’s personal space (an average of eight feet from their head), but
laugh as he wandered off. We surmised my white beard gave me honorary goat status. After a month of pure enjoyment in the mountains, we could only question the description of the goats’ habitat as a cold and barren landscape. As we sat watching the evening news describing humans killing humans, and more humans killing humans, the mountains were warm and cuddly compared to the petty and nasty nature of man. Lawrence Woodall is a longtime naturalist who has spent much of his life in the outdoors.
when approaching Goliath. This posture is also a courtship posture. As mid morning came upon us the herds separated, wandering to their preferred glacier to remain cool. On the second last day in the mountains, as we leaned back having a coffee before sunrise, a billy wandered up over the ledge, stared us down, then wandered off, but quickly changed direction and came straight for me. We couldn’t believe our eyes when he head butted me lightly on my foot, and I could only
