Thanks from the heart In September of 2012 Everett Olafson of Wasa was buried when a sand dune at Koocanusa collapsed. Now three years later, he has had time to reflect on that day and what it meant. E VERET T OL AFSON For the Bulletin
September 1, 2012, looked like any normal day: a clear sky, warm water, kids playing in the sand. I didn’t expect anything to happen. But it did. While digging in a sand dune at Koocanusa Lake, something above me collapsed. I was buried under a bank of sand. I remember screaming for help, then thinking, “What the heck are you PHOTOS COURTESY WDE ENTERTAINMENT AND TRAVEL CHANNEL doing, Everett?

Everett Olafson was dreaming on morphine, and in the next blink, I was in a hospital room, my Dad by my side, my body wired to machines, tubes stuffed up my nose, needles in my veins, and everything a little hazy. I had been in a medically-induced coma, so the sand that flooded into my lungs could be suctioned out. It would be another week before I was released from the Edmonton Children’s Hospital. My doctor said I was one in a million. No one had ever recovered so quickly from being buried alive. Two and a half years later, while sitting my English class, we were asked to complete an assignment about people who made a difference in our lives. Just thinking about this — knowing that if so many people hadn’t helped me — I wouldn’t be doing this assignment, brought me to tears. For the first time in almost three years, I cried. After all these years, I never felt I had a real chance to thank the people who helped me. Sorry if I forget anyone. So here I go... See THANKS, Page 3

For the Townsman
The Kootenay Fish Hatchery, along with the Eastshore Freshwater Habitat Society and local high school students helped to release 95,000 kokanee fry into Crawford and Hendryx creeks in May.
Province tackling Kokanee population at Kootenay Lake Tre vor Cr awley
There has been a significant decline in the Kokanee population out at Kootenay Lake near Creston, but a team of provincial biologists has completed a review with recommendations to tackle the issue. The team, which includes staff from the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, Ktunaxa Nation Council and the B.C. Wildlife Federation, developed a set of priorities ranging from high,
medium and low. High priorities included reducing the kokanee quota from 15 to 0 per day, while increasing the quota for Gerrard trout—a natural predator—from two to four fish per day. Other high priorities include working with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. (FFSBC) to collect five million Kokanee eggs and to raise an additional 500,000 for release in the spring of 2016.

There are also a laundry list of medium and low priorities, which range from increasing Bull trout daily quotas and allowing more than two rods per person out on the water to actions such as stream habitat improvements. “Basically, actions like regulation changes will increase the number of kokanee spawning (directly through no angler harvest, and indirectly through angler removal of kokanee predators) this year, and the next few years, and increase the number of kokanee eggs incubating to produce additional fry as a building block for recovery,” said Jeff Burrows, a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations. Kokanee spawning numbers plummeted in 2014 after a recent maximum had been recorded three years previously. The review from the provincial team concluded that the most dominant contributing factor was the large number of Bull trout in Kootenay Lake that preyed on the Kokanee population, said Burrows. “For example, the number of Gerrard rainbow trout spawning in each of the six years between 2009-14 was unprecedented in the historical record since 1960,” he continued. “… The kokanee popula-
tion of Kootenay Lake supported these predators for a period of time, but eventually were unable to sustain the predation pressure and dropped rapidly in abundance from 2012 to 2014.” Complicating numbers was the discovery of a virus—Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis (IHN)—in 2013 that affects the survival rate of newly hatched or juvenile forms of rainbow trout and various salmon species. IHN is not harmful to adult fish and egg-to-fry survival rates have remained normal despite identification of the virus in adult spawners. The ministry doesn’t anticipate IHN will affect kokanee survival rates in the long-term, but are continuing to monitor the fry leaving the Meadow Creek spawning area. The Kootenay Trout Hatchery contributed to the review with staffing and expertise. “With the Kootenay Trout hatchery, the Eastshore Freshwater Habitat Society and the help of local high school students, we have already released 95,000 kokanee fry to Crawford and Hendryx creeks in May,” noted Burrows. “And this fall, the FFSBC will undertake to collect several million kokanee eggs from other locations in B.C. to outplant in suitable Kootenay Lake tributary locations, and as fry next spring.”

City press release re: flume This is the entire City of Kimberley press release, which was cut off in Thursday’s paper. KIMBERLEY, B.C. The City of Kimberley is pleased to announce that the second phase of the Mark Creek Flood Mitigation and Redevelopment project will proceed in 2015. The completion of the Mark Creek project will improve public health and safety for Kimberley’s residents, and will naturalize Mark Creek to improve habitat for aquatic life. Construction upstream of the first phase will begin within the next few weeks and will last until the Fall. The contract for construction has been awarded to Copcan Civil Ltd. (Copcan), who gained valuable experience building the first phase of the project. After initial tenders were rejected by Council on May 19th for
being in excess of available project funding, Copcan approached the City and negotiated a reduced price for the work. On June 4th, Council accepted a revised price of $2,882,560 from Copcan, a $328,537 reduction from their original tender price. The City has also contracted Aqua-Tex Scientific Consulting Ltd. $190,748.60 for engineering services related to the project. The planned expenditures for the remainder of the project is $3,374,050. In May of 2014, the City secured $2,068,582 in provincial and federal funding through the Flood Protection Program to complete the project, matching the City’s onethird contribution of $1,034,291. When the initial bids were not within budget, City staff contacted the granting agency to inquire about reducing the scope
of the project or requesting an extension to the timelines. “A significant reduction in the project scope was not acceptable to the grantors, and delaying the project may have put the grant in jeopardy”, stated CAO Scott Sommerville. The project will involve building a new channel to reduce water velocities and to meet federal guidelines for once in 200-year flood levels. Two U-shaped weirs and 6 root wads and rock clusters will be added to rehabilitate fish habitat as required by the Province. The creek will be diverted while construction takes place. Deer Park water and sewer mains will be replaced, and electrical, telephone, and cable utilities will be rerouted. The latest flume design drawings will be posted under www.kimberley.ca/news The contract with Copcan is a combination
of fixed and unit pricing. The unit pricing is based on removal of the existing flume, excavation, stackable rock, rip rap, cobbles, boulders, habitat features, and concrete works. The actual amount of units of material required may result in cost savings or overages. “The risk associated with these components of the project is the same whether we go ahead this year or not,” stated Mayor Don McCormick. “The experience gained in Phase 1 is an important factor in this decision and in the execution of Phase II. I appreciate taxpayers will be skeptical until the project is completed. We are taking hard lessons learned and applying rigorous project management to ensure we achieve the expected results, and plan to communicate all aspects of the project as we progress.”
Thanks from Everett From Page 1 1. My brother, Leith: “I can’t imagine what you went through. I would have died without you. You dug yourself out, and then frantically dug for me. After finding my hand, you screamed for help and adults came to dig me out. While they waited for the helicopter, you watched your brother unconscious, not breath, his lungs filled with sand. 2. Quinten Dudley and Spo: Thank for responding so quickly and digging me out from the sand. Without your help, I wouldn’t be here to write this. 3. Ma Dudley: As a retired nurse, you knew how important it was to get oxygen into my lungs. Thank you for getting me breathing again. I can’t imagine how traumatizing that was. 4. Ashley Dudley and Mandie: Thanks Ashley for calling 911 and keeping calm to help. Mandie thanks for taking all the other kids away so they weren’t scared. 5. The random campers on the beach that provided exact GPS coordinates to 911. And the boys that cleared a landing spot for the helicopter.
6. Fernie Ambulance: thanks for getting to me and providing care until the helicopter came. 7. Bighorn Helicopters and STARS Air Ambulance: Thank you for flying me to Calgary and Edmonton so quickly, where I received the medical care I needed. 8. Edmonton/Calgary medical staff: Thanks for all the amazing treatment you gave me. I wouldn’t be here today without you. 9. Grandma Crystal: Thanks for driving my Mom to Calgary then picking up my Dad and brining them to Edmonton. 10. Bumpa: Thanks for looking after Leith the whole time we were away in the hospital. 11. Wasa Lions: Thank you for the enormous energy you put into the fundraising campaign (pancake breakfasts, spaghetti dinners, and the donations you collected) to help my parents pay for all the medical expenses like hotels and flights. I can’t imagine the burden it would have been on them without your help. 12. Auntie Carla and Uncle Darcy and all my cousins: Thanks for vis-
iting me in the hospital every day. Even though I don’t remember the first week. And for taking care and feeding my parents supper every night. 12: My parents: I want to thank you for staying strong during this emergency. I can’t imagine what you went through watching your son so close to death. After all these years, I’ve been able to do many things, thanks to
all the people who helped me. As I was released from hospital I was left with many things: a two inch scar on my neck, where my blood was drained, oxygenated and pumped back into my body and an enormous gift of gratitude for the people who made such a huge difference in my life. To those people, I thank you so much.

Before Christmas, RIF had distributed 200,000 books to 41,000 students. The Ford Foundation gave RIF $285,000 to help expand its service outside of DC. By the end of 1967, millions were being given by the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, Scholastic, the Boy Scouts, Kiwanis, as well as from two celebrities: Carol Burnett and Ed Asner. RIF became most well-known in the 1970s, when a series of television ads were aired around the world (the best known featured a young boy kicking a can through the streets of an abandoned housing project, spotting a RIF truck, and someone giving him his first book). This exposure lead the United States Congress to match dollar for dollar any donations. This enabled RIF to spread to underserved populations, such as American Indian reservations and juvenile detention centres. Ownership of a book a child chooses themselves was Margaret’s unchanging mission for RIF. ’”We feel if they choose and own some books, something will happen…they’ll be motivated to read. We don’t teach reading. We create the desire to read.” Before her death in 1981, Margaret McNamara saw RIF distribute 163 million books. President Carter awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom that same year, which she deserved much more than her husband ever did.

Petronas tentatively commits to LNG plant Jeff Nagel Black Press
The Pacific Northwest LNG plant proposed near Prince Rupert now has preliminary investment approval from its proponents, prompting confidence from Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman that the massive project could be under construction by the end of this year. The consortium led by Malaysian firm Petronas confirmed it’s ready to proceed and the only conditions for a final investment decision are federal environmental review approval and B.C. government approval of the project development agreement.
The Legislature is expected to be recalled this summer to pass the deal providing tax and royalty certainty clearing the way for an expected $11-billion investment. “It would only be derailed, I suppose, if there was something in the environmental assessment that makes the project impossible,” Coleman told reporters Friday. He said a construction start is possible late this year that would see the first LNG shipments moving by the end of 2019. The outlook for LNG prices has darkened recently but Coleman said Petronas and its Asian partners have long-term contracts to sell the first
12 million tonnes of LNG. “This product is basically sold. They have the commercial viability on this one.” Another problem for the project is aboriginal acceptance. The Lax Kw’alaams First Nation recently voted down a $1 billion cash offer from Petronas. More project design work and research is underway to address aboriginal concerns about the potential impact on salmon habitat at Flora Bank near the project site, Coleman said. “I think I see a sight line where we can satisfy the community,” he said. “I think as we come through that you’ll see
Rich Coleman that the Lax Kw’alaams will come together with every other first nation that’s already endorsed the project in the area.” He described the opportunity as one of “generational change” for
small first nations. The federal environmental review has been paused while more information on potential habitat risks was sought. A final decision is considered possible by fall.

Will Turkey stop backing the Islamists in Syria?
F
or Turks, the burning question after last weekend’s election is whether they will now get the fully democratic, pluralist country that so many of them want. The defeat of President Tayyip Recep Erdogan’s AK Party does open that prospect, although translating it into reality will be very difficult. But for everybody else, the question is whether Turkey will stop backing the Islamist insurgents who are on the brink of winning in Syria. Compared to the head-choppers of ISIS and the only slightly less extreme Al Nusra Front that now dominate the military campaign against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, Erdogan – the “Sultan”, as his devoted supporters often call him – is a very moderate Islamist. But his support for those two organisations is the main reason that they have been winning so many battles recently. Turkey shares a 800-km border with Syria, and for four years Erdogan’s government has left it open for arms, supplies and foreign recruits to flow to the Syrian Islamists. When Al Nusra seized most of the strategically important Idlib province last March after three years of trying, Damascus claimed that a major reason for its loss was that Turkey had jammed the Syrian army’s telecommunications. In March, according to reports by the pro-rebel Al Jazeera network, Erdogan
even made a pact with Saudi Arabia to coordinate assistance to the Syrian rebels – most of which flows through Turkey. But all that could change quite quickly if Erdogan’s party cannot form a government that supports this policy – and the signs are that it cannot. The Turkish election was not about Erdogan’s policy in Syria. It was, above all, about his ambition to become a mini-Putin who would dominate Turkey into the foreseeable future. In order to achieve that goal, he gave up the prime ministership and got himself elected to the relatively powerless and cerGwynne emonial office of presiDyer dent in 2014. But his intention was to transform the presidency into the all-powerful centre of political power in Turkey. Changing Turkey from a parliamentary system to a country ruled by an executive president would require a constitutional change, which can only be done by a “super-majority” of three-fifths of the votes in the 550-seat parliament. Since 2002 Erdogan’s party had won three successive elections with ever-increasing majorities, so he was confident that he could pull it off. He was wrong. Turkish voters didn’t even give him a majority of the seats in parliament. Too many people had turned against this always angry and abusive man who condemns his political opponents as “terrorists, marginals, gays and atheists,” and
who now wanted to consolidate his position as the unchallengeable “Sultan” of Turkey. More than one-fifth of AK Party’s voters abandoned the party in this election. They weren’t abandoning their religion; they were just still committed to the party’s original aim of a democratic Turkey that respected everybody’s rights (including their own). Most of them migrated to the new People’s Democratic Party, which also welcomes Kurds, gays, and non-Muslim religious minorities and strongly promotes gender equality. Erdogan will find it hard to form a coalition with any of the three big opposition parties in parliament – none of which support his policy of backing Islamist extremists in the Syrian civil war. He will have 45 days to try to form a government, and if that fails Turkey will probably face another election before the end of the summer. It is unlikely that the AK Party can improve its position in a second election: once the illusion of invincibility has been shattered, it is very hard to rebuild. What follows may be a coalition government made up of opposition parties that find it hard to agree on most things – but none of them share Erdogan’s fondness for ISIS and its friends. If Assad can hang on in Syria until the end of the summer, he may yet survive. Gwynne Dyer in an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

Bandits bag pair of wins over Glacier ‘B’ Twins Sunday doubleheader produces plenty of offense as Bandits score 24 runs to move to 11-8-1
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
To this point in the spring, the Cranbrook Bandits have had a tough time getting in games at Confederation Park in Cranbrook, so with an opportunity to play in front of a home crowd, they wanted to take advantage. The Bandits knocked around the visiting Glacier ‘B’ Twins, scoring 24 runs over two games and claiming victories of 11-9 and 13-3 in American Legion Baseball action Sunday afternoon. “It feels really good to get the win at home,” said catcher Brandon Ouillette Sunday evening. “The boys played really good. Pitchers did really well. Shayne [Walker], in the first game, chucked a heck of a game and then Thorny [Tyler Thorn] finished it off in [the second] game to get the win.” With a record of 118-1, the Bandits have played 20 games since their season opened May 9 in Libby, but only five contests have been played here in Cranbrook, including Sunday’s doubleheader. The Bandits rounded the bases plenty of times Sunday afternoon, taking advantage of shaky pitching and costly errors by the Twins scoring 24 runs across the two contests. “I liked the way we ran the bases,” said head coach Paul Mrazek Sunday evening. “We were aggressive. The kids are really seeing the field a lot better with their eyes and being able to take
advantage of other team’s mistakes. “It’s coming along.” In the opening game of the doubleheader, rookie right-hander Shayne Walker (4-2) took to the mound and earned the victory. The Bandits built a 10-2 advantage before allowing the Twins to claw back into the game. The Bandits finally shut things down in seventh inning to hold on for the 11-9 win. Early offense was key to the Bandits’ success in both outings Sunday afternoon, as the club jumped out to leads of 7-1 and 7-0 before either game was three innings old. Devon Marra helped fuel the outburst in the first game, driving home three runs on a standup triple in the bottom of the second inning. “Usually my approach, when I walk up to the plate, I always think I’m better than the pitcher,” Marra said Sunday. “That’s something I do that works for me. It keeps my confidence up. “You know you’re going to hit the ball hard. You think that in your head and you just go do it.” In the back half of the doubleheader, left-handed veteran Tyler Thorn (2-1) took to the bump, going six innings for the complete-game victory. “He gets ahead early, pumps fastballs -- gets his fastball established -- and then he gets his breaking ball going in there,” Mrazek said. “Brandon [Ouillette] calls a good game. They were starting to get on
his fastball a little bit on their second and third at-bats. We said, let’s lead the odd guy off with a breaking ball and throw more breaking balls. “In the second and third inning, [Thorn] had guys way off balance… Brandon and Thorny work real well together.” Thorn was strong pretty much from start to finish. The only hiccup came in the top of the third inning as the Twins scored three times to get back in the game. But that’s all the Twins offense was able to muster in the second game as the Bandits used the 10-run mercy rule to take out the visitors 13-3 after six innings of play. “It’s good for us to get those two wins, especially in front of the home crowd,” Thorn said Sunday. “We’ve had a little bit of a rough patch over the past couple weeks, just not being able to hold a lead. “It’s good to stick it to a team and get that mercy under our belt. We’ve had a couple leads like that in the past couple weeks and blown them. It’s good for the confidence going into the next couple weeks.” The catcher-pitcher relationship is an important one in the success of any ball club. Mrazek highlighted it as a key to his club’s 13-3 triumph. According to Thorn, the dynamic between himself and Ouillette is something that came about rather quickly. “We just understand each other,” Thorn said.

Bandits catcher Brandon Ouillette slides safely into third base during the opening game of a doubleheader with the Glacier ‘B’ Twins at Confederation Park in Cranbrook Sunday afternoon. Ouillette and the Bandits had the bats going all day, defeating the Twins consecutively by scores of 11-9 and 13-3. “We sort of just meshed together right away because we both like to mess with hitters and we both like to surprise guys, like throwing curveballs with a full count. We do a lot of that.
“We just have a good time up there. When we fool a guy, we’re laughing. We’re having a good time.” “Me and Thorny have been throwing together for a couple years now,” Ouillette said. “His curveball was on today. Nobody can hit him when he’s like that.” Thorn did everything required of him on the
mound and the run support was there to back him up, leaving little room for the Twins to work back into the backend of the doubleheader. The Bandits took an 11-3 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning before bringing two more runs across the plate to force the end of the game. “When we go up to the plate, we’re looking for fastball. We’re hunting fastballs,” Thorn said. “We’re trying to get ourselves in good counts by not swinging at those pitches above our head and in the dirt. When we do [that], we get in those 2-0, 3-1 counts where 95 per cent of the time, you’re going to get a fastball down the middle because they’re trying to catch back up.
“Those 2-0, 3-1 counts, that’s where we got our base hits -- line shots into centre field and into the left-centre gap.” Official scoring and statistics from Sunday’s contests were unavailable prior to print deadline. The pair of victories pushes the Bandits to 11-8-1 on the season and 3-1-1 at Confederation Park. Last Saturday, June 6, the Bandits were slated to host the Mission Valley ‘B’ Mariners in a doubleheader, but that game was moved south of the border to Polson, Mont., after a selection of Mariners didn’t have passports ready in time to cross the Canadian border for the games. Saturday, May 30, the Bandits and Twins took
to the diamond in what was supposed to be a doubleheader at Confederation Park, but the day came to an early end after rain held the clubs to a 1-1 tie in only two innings of play. This Saturday, June 13, the Bandits were scheduled to welcome the Libby Loggers to Cranbrook for another doubleheader, but Saturday morning the Loggers called up Mrazek to say they didn’t have enough healthy players to take the diamond for the doubleheader and the games were cancelled. The Bandits will look to build upon the recent home success next weekend as they welcome the Glacier ‘A’ Twins to Confederation Park for a doubleheader on Saturday, June 20, beginning at 1 p.m.
Blackhawks look to clinch Stanley Cup championship Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
CHICAGO - This isn’t the Chicago Blackhawks’ first rodeo going for the Stanley Cup. It is the first time they’re going for it at their own stampede. For the third time in the Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews era, the Blackhawks are up 3-2 in the final going into Game 6. They won those first two chances in 2010 and 2013 on the road in Phil-
adelphia and Boston. This group knows how to close like a champion thoroughbred with the finish line in sight, but with the new twist of trying to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning and lift the Cup on home ice at United Center. “Our team’s been in a lot in these situations played in some big settings, some big stages, a chance to win Cups before,” coach Joel Quen-
neville said Sunday. “It’s a whole new process for some guys, a new situation being at home for the first time. “It’s an exciting time.” This is the Blackhawks’ time. Toews explained his team’s killer instinct more as an ability to get better as the series and the playoffs go on. Chicago’s captain doesn’t think it’s as much flipping a switch as shining
brightest with the spotlight turned way up. “We get into these later games where we have the chance to play these games that are more meaningful, I think that’s when we play our best,” Toews said. Toews, Kane, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Bryan Bickell remain from the two previous Cup champion,
while other pieces have moved in and out. Somehow the Blackhawks remain a team that smells blood and knows how to close the deal. “I think the more you do it, the more you get addicted to it,” said newcomer Brad Richards, who won with Tampa Bay in 2004. “You’re comfortable in those situations.” The Blackhawks are plenty comfortable at
home, but they’ve never faced this scenario before. In franchise history Chicago hasn’t had the chance to win the Cup on home ice since 1971 and hasn’t actually done it since 1938. With that history and their own history in their minds, players are trying to focus on the task at hand instead of the scene, the national anthem and the unique opportunity ahead of them.
“Obviously there’s a lot of buzz, a lot of excitement, a lot of things going on around the entire event,” Toews said. “I think we’re just going to do our best as individuals to focus on our job as players and focus on the game and nothing more. “None of that stuff is really going to help us achieve what we want to achieve.” Game 6 is slated for 6 p.m. (MT) Monday.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have two daughtersin-law who seem disrespectful to me. The first one only visits on Christmas day. Yet she has no problem calling when she wants me to take her kids to a doctor’s appointment or pick them up from school. The other one does the same, but her excuse is that they are too busy to see me because they are spending time with her side of the family or they are having friends over. I don’t want to waste any more of my time on people who have no other use for me, and this upsets my husband no end. But, Annie, it’s simply not fair. I am entitled to some respect. Why do these women think I owe them everything, but they never reciprocate? -- Motherin-Law from Hell Dear Mother-in-Law: Respect has to be earned, no matter who you are. A relationship with an in-law takes time and effort from both sides. Apparently, you get to see the grandchildren. Some parents would be thrilled to have that much. Do you see your sons without their wives? If not, you should speak directly to them about it. Never denigrate or criticize their wives. Instead, we urge you to do what you can to warm up these relationships. Let your daughtersin-law know how much you appreciate them for being supportive wives to your sons and good parents to the children (we hope they are). Find something to like about them if it kills you. Invite all of them over for dinner or bring dinner to them. Have a “girls’ day out” and take the daughters-in-law for brunch and bonding. If you can keep your side positive and friendly, they are more likely to respond in kind. Dear Annie: Every year, my four closest friends and I host birthday parties for one another. We call ourselves “soul sisters.” Because we are all settled with homes and families, we decided that it would be fun to create an individual wish list prior to our birthday party. It makes it easier to shop, and we won’t receive unneeded items. One of our “soul sisters” creates an extensive and very detailed wish list. However, when it comes to gifts for others, she disregards our lists entirely, ignoring our suggestions and buying things we can’t use, don’t want and often cannot return. I end up donating these items to our local thrift store. I know that these are gifts and we should be grateful, but this has really begun to bother me. Her birthday is coming up, and I would like to buy her something that isn’t on her list to see how she responds. What do you think? -- Soulless Dear Soulless: We understand your frustration, and you certainly could try turning the tables to see whether it makes a difference. You also can ask her directly why she never gets things on the list. She may, in fact, resent having to purchase things that you are asking for. These are your “soul sisters” and such a conversation should not be that difficult. Your group of friends could also decide not to buy each other gifts altogether. And, of course, you can simply consider these gifts to be unexpected bonuses (instead of expected obligations) and keep donating them to worthy causes.

Researchers use tracking to learn from ocean animals Tim C all anan CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX - Ocean researcher Nigel Hussey says the hardest part of tagging a giant Greenland shark isn’t dealing with the carnivore -- it’s keeping his hands in sub-zero Arctic water while he does the work. Hussey tags animals from the high Arctic down to the tropics as part of his research with the Nova Scotia-based Ocean Tracking Network, which connects scientists to the movements and behaviours of animals around the world. The latest issue of the academic journal Science features a paper by Hussey and his fellow researchers on advances in the field of aquatic animal telemetry -where scientists tag an animal with an electronic device to monitor its actions from a distance. Although scientists have been tagging sea creatures for decades, Hussey says the latest improvements in track-
ing technology mean scientists can do much more than follow an animal’s location. He says researchers can now use “animals as oceanographers.” “You can actually use the animals to monitor their own environments,” said Hussey, a research associate at the University of Windsor. Rather than having to go out on a ship and drop down equipment to measure ocean qualities such as temperature and salinity, scientists can put sensors on sea creatures and download the data from back on land. Next year, Hussey plans to use receivers on narwhals and several hundred tagged Greenland halibut to observe interactions between the two species. “Basically your narwhal becomes your monitor of sustainable fisheries. He’s swimming around, giving you detections on where your fish are,” he said. The tracking devices are not reserved for larg-

Animals also spend more time on the job. “These animals don’t just go out like me and you for an eight-hour working day. These ani-

mals can monitor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” he said. The Ocean Tracking Network, based at Dalhousie University in Halifax, facilitates tracking in oceans around the world and includes more than 400 research-
ers from 20 countries. The network centralizes ocean data so scientists can learn from each other’s research, Hussey said, which allows them to tackle broader questions on how the environment shapes animal behaviour.

“These are obviously key questions that we want to ask when we’re thinking about current climate change and predictions for the future as species start to redistribute themselves,” he said.
Science helps trees adapt to new climate conditions Bob Weber CANADIAN PRESS
Canadian scientists are helping trees outrun climate change. “Trees are adapted to historical climate and the climate’s moving out from under them,” said evolutionary biologist Sally Aitken. “We’re using genomics to generate answers more quickly than they can.” Foresters have long known that the best seeds for replanting forests comes from trees in the same area, said Aitken, whose research at the University of British Columbia is financed by Genome Canada. Trees within a couple of hundred kilometres or a few hundred metres of elevation are precisely adapted to local conditions. “Climate change comes along and it’s disrupting that match between populations and climate,” Aitken said. Winters have become warmer. Rainfall patterns are changing. Bugs such as the mountain pine beetle and fungi such as blister rust find congenial new homes. Trees would eventu-
ally adapt on their own, but slowly. “It takes decades, and we don’t have decades,” said Aitken. In an effort to speed things up, she and her colleagues are digging into the genomes of lodgepole pine and white spruce to look for genetic patterns associated with climate. That allows researchers to analyze genetic diversity that already exists in the forest and select for characteristics that will produce seeds matched to the environment where they’ll be planted. “There’s so much variation already in the tree’s genome,” said Richard Hamelin, whose work at the Canadian Forest Service is also funded by Genome Canada. “What we are doing is developing the tools to sample that variation. “(Once) we know what a resistant tree looks like we can go out and find more of them and include them in our breeding program.” It’s not easy. Pine and spruce trees have genomes seven times the size of the
human genome. Aitken’s group sequenced 25,000 genes in each, which produced about 10 million points where the genomes could vary. Running statistical analyses to figure out which gene groupings reflected climate adaptaton took one of UBC’s supercomputers weeks of solid number-crunching. But results are coming in. Aitken said they show that trees bred through the program’s work are showing climate adaptations very close to what trees might do on their own. “Material from the breeding program simply grows faster,” she said. “It’s really in the last month that we’ve gotten the results that show it works. We’re getting strong signals, within the genome, of adaptation to climate.” Hamelin said trees bred for resistance to blister rust are already being planted. Trees resistant to other pests are entering the breeding program. Both researchers emphasize that they’re not doing genetic modification.
