CRANBROOK

Four arrested following drug search warrant CR ANBROOK RCMP

Four people were arrested following the execution of a drug search warrant and brief pursuit in Cranbrook. During the evening of July 9th, 2015, the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit initiated a drug trafficking investigation involving a group of individuals, a couple whom recently relocated to Cranbrook. As a result of this investigation a search warrant was obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. During the early morning hours of July 10th, 2015, the search warrant was executed on a room at a Cranbrook hotel where a quantity of drugs

were located and seized and two individuals were taken into police custody. Investigator’s were aware of a third individual involved and were waiting his arrival. When the 3rd individual arrived he sped off in his vehicle after spotting the police nearby. Police vehicles followed the suspect through an industrial area of Cranbrook and after a brief time the vehicle stopped near Jim Smith Lake at which time two more individuals were taken into custody. Another quantity of cocaine was located and seized at that time. All four individuals remain in police custody and will be taken before a Judicial Justice of the Peace.

Two suspects were arrested at the Cranbrook Husky Saturday, following a manhunt that began in the area Friday night, after a series of vehicle thefts and aggressive driving in the stolen vehicles. Cranbrook RCMP, Southeast Traffic Services, the police dog service and the crime reduction unit responded to a series of serious incidents Friday, believed associated to a group out of Alberta. Police first responded to a call of a male and female caught stealing a license plate on Theatre Road while operating what turned out to be a stolen Dodge pickup out of Alberta. Later, the suspects stole another Dodge pickup in the Gold Creek area. RCMP said in a press release early Saturday that the owner had just returned home and was rammed by his own stolen vehicle. The owner followed the pair of stolen vehicles to the area of Six Mile Lane until he was able to solicit assistance from another motorist to borrow a phone to update police. The suspects in the second Dodge accelerated sharply in reverse and collided with the good samaritan motorist causing injury but also disabling the pickup. Cranbrook RCMP employed the services of a private helicopter and searched the area with the police dog unit, but without success. Throughout, police kept the public informed via social media.

“This is yet another great example of a coordinated effort between the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit and the Cranbrook RCMP Detachment,” said S/Sgt. Dubnyk. “Police believe this group of individuals recently relocated to Cranbrook for the sole purpose of trafficking in illicit drugs so this is a clear message they are not welcome in Cranbrook if that is their only reason for being here.” In custody is a 32 year old male subject from Kelowna, a 30 year old male from Vancouver, a 25 year old male from Cranbrook and a fourth individual whose identity is still undetermined.

Many new lightning caused fires 44 new starts on Friday night C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Cooler temperatures gave an assist on some fires over the weekend, but lightning caused many new starts across the province and the Southeast Fire Centre. Jordan Turner of the Southeast Fire Centre said on Saturday that there were 44 new lightning caused fires over Friday night across the area. There was a new start two kilometres south of Silverton and east of Highway 6, near Beaverton Creek and the base of Mount Aylwin. It was estimated at seven hectares in size on Saturday. BC Wildfire Service crews, helicopters and airtankers are on scene. The Regional District of Central Kootenay has issued an Evacuation Alert in the area

Locally, the Baynes Lake fire is 100 per cent contained, with crews only mopping up hot spots. According to Loree Duczek of the RDEK the fire is no longer considered a ‘fire of note’. Further north near Spillamacheen, there was no significant growth of the fire burning near the highway. It remains at 54 hectares and has been classed as 100 per cent contained. Contract firefighters and one officer remain on site but heavy equipment and air support has been moved out. Other new starts include: • A 0.7 hectare fire near China Creek, three kilometres west of Castlegar • A group of four small fires directly across Lower Arrow Lake from Deer Park • A 0.4 hectare fire near Nemo Creek, two kilometres off the west shore of Slocan Lake “During times of increased activity, the BC Wildfire Service

prioritizes fires and wildfire suppression response,” Turner said. “If fires are not posing an immediate threat to residences we may make resources available for higher priority incidents. The primary objectives of the BC Wildfire Service are the safety of our crews, along with protecting life and property.” The busiest fire centres in the province currently are the Prince George Fire Centre where there are seven wildfires of note; the Coastal Fire Centre where there are six; and Kamloops where there are four fires of note. In the Cariboo, the Puntzi Lake fire was over 7,000 hectares. An evacuation order is in effect and the Cariboo Regional District said Saturday that a resort, two permanent homes, a seasonal home and multiple outbuildings on four properties were confirmed lost in the fire.

For almost a month, goats have been grazing Aq’am lands in an effort to mitigate the effects of invasive species. The project began in midJune and will continue until July 15. The goats are used to target invasive plants, notably Sulfur Cinquefoil on the St. Mary’s lands, while leaving native plant to flourish. Conrad Lindblom, along with his wife Donna, owns the company doing the work — Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control out of Kamloops. “We brought down 300 goats and we’re doing the vegetation control,” Lindblom said. “We’re controlling the invasive weeds here on the Band’s land.” While the project is new to Aq’am, Lindblom and his wife have specialized in this type of invasive targeted grazing for 17 years. It is their fourth year in Kamloops. Lindblom said the goats are just as effective at controlling the weeds as chemicals, but the goats have the benefit of being heathy for the surrounding ecosystem. “We’ve come up with this method of controlling invasive weeds without these herbicides,” he said. “So there’s absolutely no reason to use herbicides.” The current project targets Sulphur Cinquefoil, which is a introduced species that originates from the Eastern Mediterranean. “We’re restoring the grasslands for the Band; the grasslands are mostly native plants, except for this invasive weed — the Sulphur Cinquefoil. So the goats are just targeting the Sulphur Cinquefoil, not eating the native plants.” Lindblom said once the goats eat up the invasive plants, the native plants will thrive.

Goats are grazing on sulphur cinquefoil He said goats are a much better choice for the job than cattle, as cattle are not selective in what they eat and — because of their digestive system — actually make things worse. “Once they eat the weeds, the weeds just go through them and they fertilize them and they spread the weeds,” he said. “Whereas goats have 100 per cent digestion and they won’t spread the weeds. And since we have them trained and controlled, they are just going to eat the weeds and not the native plants, so the native plants are going to come back stronger.” Lindblom said they can cover about 1,000 acres in a month. The grazing also works best if done for a couple years in a row to eradicate the invasive weeds, because of the seeds that are already in the soil. “Once we’ve grazed an area for two, three years — depending on the weed we’re targeting — we can get over 95 per cent of the weeds under control,” he said. While the goats only eat invasive species in the grasslands, it is not all they eat. Lindblom said they let the goats graze for about five or six hours a day on the invasive diet then bring them in and allow them to eat other things to keep their diet mixed. They lead the goats along with saddle horses and dogs, but once they have the grazing pattern established after two or three days, the goats remember where to go. “Then they basically know how to maneuver around and go from one clump of weeds to the next,” he said. “We follow them around and make sure they are eating the right things. This

is a technique we’ve developed over the past 17 years.” The grazing here is in it’s last few days, ending July 15, that means they are working to clean up the last few areas of plants and will also be doing some smaller areas in yards. In those areas they will only use a fraction of the herd. Lindblom said the reception has been great over the month . “We’ve had lots of people drop in to see our goats and stop in and talk to us,” he said. “Everywhere we go we get a lot of positive attention, because nobody wants to use herbicide.” In Kamloops, Lindblom’s goats graze the city parks for invasive weeds, noting that the City of Kamloops made it public that the weed control with goats is actually 30 per cent cheaper than using herbicides. “There is no reason to use herbicides,” he said. “What we need is more herds of goats. That’s what we’re trying to promote. We’re actually training people on how to use goats — the more people that do it the better.” They have also worked on ski hills to clear vegetation, such as willows that pop out of the snow in the winter, and on wetlands restoration. The goats can also be used to improve cattle pastures by eliminating the invasive weeds. He also noted that there is a high demand for goat meat. “So it’s a win-win for everybody,” he said. For more information on the goats, contact Conrad and Donna Lindblom at 780-3803061 or by email at lindblomdonna@gmail. com

Federal election

Debating debates

C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

A challenge has been issued by federal NDP candidate for the Kootenay Columbia riding, Wayne Stetski, to MP David Wilks on the number of debates he will attend, but so far Wilks is not responding. Stetski proposes eight debates in eight communities, Kimberley included. “An election is a job interview,” Stetski said. “The current MP has a habit of not showing up, and that’s not good enough for the people of Kootenay Columbia.” Stetski says Wilks’ record of attendance in the last federal campaign was 43 per cent. “I intend to be there, debating the current MP at every opportunity,” said Stetski. “We are all asking the people of this area to choose us to

be their representative. This is a job interview, so we all have to show up.” Stetski is suggesting the formation of a debate committee, composed of a representative of every candidate, to work directly with debate organizers to set a debate calendar that works for everyone, and provides debates in all eight major communities in the riding. “David Wilks must commit to be at an all-issues debate in every major community,” said Stetski. “That means we organize events in Revelstoke, Golden, Invermere, Kimberley, Cranbrook, Fernie, Creston, and Nelson, and we cement it into our calendars. Claiming that you have another event booked cannot be an excuse for not showing up.” See Page 4

Arrests made Saturday after night-long search RCMP looking into third suspect

From Page 1

Early Saturday afternoon, following a tip, RCMP arrested a pair of suspects at the Cranbrook Husky on Cranbrook Street, with the help of a B.C. Conservation officer. “The male with the Mohawk and the blonde female have been arrested,” RCMP tweeted. “Cranbrook RCMP [are] still looking into the possibility of a third suspect. “We do not promote civilians taking police actions but, would be remiss in not acknowledging the bravery of the vehicle owner and Good Samaritans. The assistance of the general public in helping Cranbrook RCMP locate and arrest the suspects is greatly appreciated.”

Debating debates From page 3 Stetski’s campaign team sent an official request to David Wilks, Bill Green, and Don Johnston to ask them to provide a representative to negotiate dates for all eight candidate debates. “If this offer is refused one will have to wonder whether or not Mr. Wilks is really willing to take questions from his constituents in a public forum. Is he really willing to debate his opponents? Or does he think that once again he can just rely on the record of the previous Conservative MP to win this election?” The Bulletin contacted Wilks’s office last week and asked for a comment but so far has not received a response. The other candidates, however, are eager to get organized. Bill Green of Kimberley, running for the Green Party says he would be willing to do 11 debates, adding Salmo, Kaslo and the east shore of Kootenay Lake (Gray Creek or Crawford Bay) to the schedule. “We have a very large riding with many smaller communities and we need to work to make sure that very few voters need to travel more than 30 minutes to get to a debate” said Green. “In 2011, I participated in six of the seven all candidates public forums and only unfortunately missed one in Invermere. I greatly enjoyed the debates and believe they provide the best way for voters to learn about their candidates and the candidates’ perspective and priorities. Recent polling shows strong and growing support for the

Green Party in British Columbia. I look forward to further building that support in this riding in the lead up to and during the campaign period.” “We welcome the request by the NDP candidate to coordinate debates,” said Brian May, Liberal Communications for Kootenay Columbia. “Don Johnston knows very well through his work as former CEO of Columbia Basin Trust that the Kootenay Columbia is a very large riding and that every community has it’s unique perspectives and concerns. We hope that every voter will be close enough to a debate venue to hear the positions and records of the candidates. “Don has already met with voters and leaders in each one of the communities and had already begun discussions on what the debate traditions were in each community. We hope a time table can be arranged that will accommodate the Conservative candidates schedule since we look forward to asking both him and Mr. Stetski about their record of service to voters in the area. Don’s Community Team Leader Jan Wright will join the coordination committee.” During the last election campaign, there were debates in Revelstoke, Golden, Invermere, Kimberley, Fernie, Creston and Cranbrook. Mr. Wilks did not attend the debates in Kimberley, Cranbrook, Invermere and Revelstoke. At that time, Nelson was not a part of the Kootenay Columbia riding.

Congratulations to these four very deserving recipients and thank you to all who submitted applications for the 2015 Community Champs bursaries. With so many young people actively involved in their communities the future will be in good hands.

High School Education

Awards Throughout the month of June, at high school graduation ceremonies throughout the Kootenays, eighteen $750 Kootenay Savings Community Foundation education awards were presented to graduating students who plan to pursue post-secondary education. While the Community Champs bursaries are open to credit union members as well as non-members, the high school bursary winners or their parents must be members of Kootenay Savings - another example of the power of membership that comes with being a credit union member-owner.

YES Camp: The Adventure of a Lifetime

As well as rewarding youth for their community commitment, Kootenay Savings is also helping develop young leaders through an ongoing partnership with the

YES Camp. A week at the YES Camp is an adventure like no other, and this summer four Kootenay-area youth will be heading o to camp thanks to sponsorship from the credit union. An amazing weeklong experience at Vancouver Island’s Lake Cowichan, the camp provides youth between 14 to 18 years of age with real skills to use at home and in their communities by focusing on themes of self-awareness, co-operation, communication, leadership and global awareness. The camp encourages youth to grow as individuals and inspires them to create positive change in themselves and their communities, all in a fun environment that includes canoeing, swimming, hiking, dance parties, improv theatre, arts and crafts, and tons of other activities.

Ember Heidt, a inspector with the Invasive Mussel Defence Program, demonstrates the how the mobile decontamination unit works on a towed boat out at Moyie Lake on Friday morning.

Funding to fight invasive mussels Tre vor Cr awley

The Columbia Basin Trust has pitched in to provide three mobile decontamination units aimed at stopping invasive mussels from entering British Columbia waterways. Totalling a $360,000 investment, with financial contributions from the Columbia Power Corporation and FortisBC, the additional units that will be dedicated to stopping and ensuring boats are free of mussels. Teams will be based in Cranbrook, Valemount, and Nelson to target entry points from Alberta and the U.S. The three new units will be dedicated to serving the Columbia Basin region, complementing three additional units that are currently in use around the rest of the province. The objective of the decontamination units are to prevent and mitigate the spread of Quagga and Zebra Mussels, which are very harmful to waterways and ecosystems. The issue is being tackled by a partnerships involving the Ministry of Environment’s Invasive Mussel Defence Program, the Columbia Power Corporation, FortisBC and local invasive species councils, including the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council, Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society, Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society and the Northwest Invasive Plant Council. A mobile decontamination unit was on display out at Moyie Lake as the announcement was made last Friday with local government officials and program stakeholders in attendance. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett recalled how negatively invasive mussels affected a river on some recreational property his family owned in Ontario while growing up and that while the issue may not necessarily be a hot-button one, it’s still

important. “Invasive Mussels pose a threat to more than just ecosystems, but to drinking water facilities, hydro stations, agricultural irrigation and more,” Bennett said. “This funding boost from the Columbia Basin Trust, Columbia Power Corporation and FortisBC allows the Province to further strengthen efforts to stop Zebra and Quagga mussels from entering B.C.” Ember Heidt, an inspector with the Invasive Mussel Defence Program, used the mobile decontamination unit to demonstrate what the process looks like. When the units are set up, it is mandatory for all boats—those towed on trailers, including canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards—to go through the mandatory inspection process. Failure to comply to the inspection process can result in some hefty fines, and Conservation Officers have the authority under the both the Wildlife Act and the Motor Vehicle Act to chase down and ticket non-compliant drivers and operators. Depending on conversations with the watercraft owner, the inspection can take two minutes or a half hour. The decontamination system itself is an environmentally friendly process that simply involves spraying the watercraft with high-pressure, high-temperature water. The boat trailer is parked on mats that collect the excess water and filters it for any mussels that come off the hull, meaning that the water can be reused for future decontaminations. Outboard motors are also flushed with high-temperature water, as the high heat kills any mussels. Kaylish Fraser, the aquatic invasive species program coordinator of the Central Invasive Species Society, notes that invasive mussels are native to the Eurasia region and likely came to North America in the 1980s due to ballast water from ships in

the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes. From there, it’s created a problem that spans waterways across North America. “The number one thing that makes them exceptionally destructive, compared to any native mussels in North America, is that they have the ability to colonize on any substrate—any surface,” Fraser said. “So all native mussels in North America are only free-floating, so these Zebra and Quagga mussels have little threads that allow them to attach to any hard surface. “That, combined with their really high reproductive rate—the female can lay up to 1 million eggs—for spawning events, and she can spawn multiple times a year. So if you have mussels colonized on a hard surface and they’re laying a million eggs— most of which may not survive but you still have a high survival rate—so then you can visualize any kind of surface, this buildup of mussels just gets bigger and bigger, up to 15 centimetres thick of a layer.” The mussels are considered a bioengineer, altering the local ecosystems by cleaning out the water column of algae, phytoplankton, which can reverberate up the food chain. “You end up seeing fish populations crashing, and other important species start to crash, so it ends up changing the entire food web and food chain,” Fraser added. In addition to the ecological damage, the mussels can also interfere with hydroelectric dam operations, by colonizing pipes and trash racks, which come at an extreme cost to clean. There are concurrent programs running south of the border in Washington, Idaho and Montana, while Alberta also has mandatory inspection programs.

The Hardest Word to Say It’s hard to say sorry, but it’s even harder to say you’re sorry for a genocide. The word just sticks in the throats of those who should be saying it, as the Turks have been demonstrating for the past hundred years in the case of the Armenians of eastern Anatolia. And the Serbs have just shown themselves to be just as tongue-tied in the case of the Bosnian Muslims slaughtered at Srebrenica. Saturday was the 20th anniversary of the murder of between 7,000 and 8,000 people when Srebrenica was taken by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995. The town’s population was swollen by refugees who had fled there to escape the “ethnic cleansing” that was being carried out against Muslims elsewhere in eastern Bosnia, because it was a United Nations-designated “safe area” defended by NATO troops. Or rather, not defended. When the Bosnian Serbs, having surrounded Srebrenica for three years, finally moved to take it in July 1995, the UN and NATO commanders refused to use air strikes to stop them. And the Dutch troops who were there to protect the town decided they’d rather live and let unarmed civilians die. So all the Bosnian Muslim men and boys between the ages of 14 and 70 were loaded onto buses — the Dutch soldiers helped to separate them from the women and children — and driven up the road a few kilometres. Then they were shot by Serbian killing squads, and buried by bulldozers. It took four days to murder them all. The crime has been been formally declared a genocide by the UN war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia. Both the Bosnian Serb president of the time, Radovan Karadzic, and the Serban military

commander at Srebrenica, General Ratko Mladic, are awaiting verdicts in trials for directing genocide. You would think that even the Serbs cannot deny that it was a genocide, but you would be wrong. There are certainly some Serbs, like journalist Dusan Masic, who are willing to call it what it is. His idea was to have 7,000 volunteers lie on the ground before the National Assembly in Belgrade on Saturday, symbolising the approximate number of Muslim victims at Srebrenica. “On July 11, while the eyes Gwynne of the whole world are on the killing fields near SreDyer brenica”, he said, “we want to send a different picture from Belgrade.” “This will not be a story about the current regime, which has failed to define itself in relation to the crime that happened 20 years ago,” he continued, “or about a place where you can still buy souvenirs with images of Karadzic and Mladic. It will be a story about ... a better Serbia.” But the better Serbia has not actually arrived yet. Serbia’s interior minister, Nebojsa Stefanovic, didn’t like the picture Masic wanted to send. When right-wing groups threatened to disrupt the demonstration last Thursday, Stefanovic banned it in order to guarantee “peace and security in the whole of Serbia.” And the Serbian government had already asked Russia to veto a UN Security Council resolution describing the Srebrenica massacre as a “genocide”. Russia was happy to oblige, and vetoed it on Wednesday. Maybe Moscow was just sucking up to the Serbs, whom it would like to steer away from their current ambition to join the European Union — but maybe President Vladimir Putin was also thinking that he didn’t want any prece-

dent for some future attempt to describe what he did during the second Chechen war in 1999-2002 as a genocide. Words matter. Serbia’s Prime Minister Aleksandr Vucic, who seems to have changed his mind about Srebrenica since his early days in Serbian politics, still cannot bring himself to use the word “genocide” when he talks about it. Back in 1995, Vucic was a radical nationalist who declared in the Serbian National Assembly, only a few days after the Srebrenica massacre, that “If you kill one Serb, we will kill 100 Muslims.” By 2010, however, he was saying that a “horrible crime was committed in Srebrenica.” Vucic even traveled to Srebrenica on Saturday to take part in the commemoration of the events of 20 years ago, a brave gesture for a Serbian prime minister who must contend with an electorate most of whom do not want to admit that Serbs did anything especially wrong. But he still doesn’t dare say the word “genocide”. The voters would never forgive him. Most Serbs would acknowledge that their side did some bad things during the Balkan wars of the 90s, but they would add that every side did. They will not accept the use of the word “genocide” — whereas that is the one word Bosnian Muslims have to hear before they can believe that the Serbs have finally grasped the nature and scale of their crime. That’s why, when Vucic was at Srebrenica paying his respects in the cemetery, some Bosnian Muslims started throwing stones at him. His glasses were broken, and his security detail had to hustle him away. It was a stupid, shameful act, and the Bosnian Muslim authorities have apologised for it. But like the Turks and the Armenians, the Serbs and their neighbours will never really be reconciled until the Serbs say the magic word.

Djokovic beats Federer for 3rd Wimbledon title, 9th Grand Slam title Stephen Wilson Associated Press

LONDON — Novak Djokovic got the better of Roger Federer at Wimbledon again. The defending champion outplayed Federer in four sets Sunday to win his third Wimbledon title and ninth Grand Slam championship. In a repeat of last year’s final, won by Djokovic in five sets, the top-ranked Serb overcame the loss of seven set points in the second set and pulled away to beat the seven-time champion 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3. Djokovic broke Federer four times and saved six of the seven break points he faced. In winning the 40th

TORONTO - Organizers for the Pan Am Games say enthusiasm at the competitions is high even when attendance isn’t. The head of the Games organizing committee confirms that while small venues filled up on Saturday, the crowd was more sparse at some of the larger ones. But Saad Rafi says those who were there showed their excitement loud and clear. Rafi says attendance is higher when Canada is competing and he expects more people to start paying attention as the Games continue. He says daily ticket sales doubled to roughly 20,000 on Saturday, the first full day of competition.

career matchup between two of the greats of the game, Djokovic prevented Federer from winning a record eighth Wimbledon title. Djokovic closed out the match by breaking Federer for the second time in the fourth set, hitting an inside-out forehand winner into the open court on the final point. He pumped his arms and screamed, then bent down, plucked some grass from Centre Court and put it his mouth - just as he did when he won his first title in 2011 and again last year. Djokovic equaled the number of Wimbledon titles won by his current coach Boris Becker, who won at the All England Club in 1985, ‘86 and ‘89.

Enthusiasm high at Pan Am Games, even if attendance low, organizers say C an a d ia n Press

On Friday, total ticket sales were around 850,000. There are 1.4 million available for the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games. “We have some big stadiums,” Rafi said. “It’s not going to be easy to fill a 23,000- (to) 24,000-seat stadium such as the CIBC soccer stadium every single preliminary, morning, afternoon, morning, afternoon, every day.” “The sole objective is not necessarily full stands, it’s loud cheering spectators,” and that’s already happening, he said. He described seeing full stands at the aquatics centre Saturday, with “red and white flags everywhere” and cheering sections for both the U.S. and Mexico.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My brother, “John,” one of nine siblings, has not spoken to our 83-year-old mother in more than 12 years. He lives less than five miles from her, drives past her house daily and never stops in. At first, he sent birthday and Christmas cards, but even that stopped. Mom continues to send cards and reach out, but receives no response. Evidently, John is upset with Mom because she asked whether he would testify in court against his pedophile stepfather if it became necessary to do so. John and his three older siblings were victims, and Mom wanted to protect her youngest child (my stepbrother) so that he would not be left alone with his pedophile father. John was so upset by the request that he cut off contact. As far as I’m concerned, John is dead. My children don’t know him. His daughter has missed out on an entire family of cousins, aunts and uncles. But my mother would like to reconnect with him before she dies. I’d like to help her do this, but frankly, I’m very angry with him. I don’t want John at Mom’s funeral. How could he have the audacity to show up there when he doesn’t have the decency to speak to her while she’s alive? Should I hire someone to ask him to leave the funeral? -- Angry Sis Dear Sis: It’s possible that the idea of testifying against his abuser was more traumatic for John than he could process. John might actually want to get back in touch, but doesn’t know how and is afraid he would be roundly and repeatedly chastised. In order to reconcile, you may have to let the past go. Is John in contact with any of his siblings, relatives or mutual friends? Would one of them be willing to act as a go-between? Could one of you speak to John’s wife and ask what can be done? As for the funeral, your anger is understandable, but be prepared for a ruckus if you try to keep John out. And the knowledge that you are punishing him this way will likely keep him from ever reconciling with his siblings. We trust you are not the only one making this decision. Please talk to your siblings about it, and also speak to your mother about her wishes. Dear Annie: I’d like to recommend that your readers talk to their doctors about the shingles vaccine. Five years ago, I got a painful rash on the right side of my torso. I was diagnosed with shingles, given a prescription and began taking the medicine immediately. By the next evening, I was much more comfortable, and in a few days, the rash, itch and pain were mostly gone. If you suspect a new rash might be shingles, please seek medical attention immediately. -- Papillion, Neb. Dear Papillion: Thanks for the warning. Shingles is a reactivated chickenpox virus. Anyone who has had chickenpox can get shingles and it is terribly painful. The lifetime risk is 50 percent. Shingles most commonly occurs in people over age 50 and those with immune system disorders. The vaccine decreases (but doesn’t eliminate) the risk, and we hope our readers will check with their doctors about getting it and whether or not their insurance covers the cost.

New Guidebook for Managing Bats in Buildings Submit ted

Summer is the season when property owners notice bats in their buildings. They may find guano on the deck, hear bats in the walls, or smell a buildup of guano. The Kootenay Community Bat Project, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, has received numerous calls with these issues. In many cases, landowners are happy to leave bats where they are. However, for landowners who would like to have bats move out of their buildings, a new resource guide is available. “We are pleased to announce the publication of this booklet which we developed in partnership with the BC Community Bat Program” says Juliet Craig, Coordinator for the Kootenay Community Bat Project. “Although we try to visit as many properties with bats as we can during the summer, we can’t always get

to everyone. This new booklet, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, and Habitat Stewardship Program, provides stepby-step information to landowners dealing with bat issues. Under the BC Wildlife Act it is illegal to exterminate or harm bats. In order to “get rid of bats”, the best strategy is to wait until they have left the building and seal up all the entry and exit points. However, in summer months, bat pups can become trapped inside. “The conservation of bats in BC has always been important since over half of the species in this province are considered at risk” says Craig. “However, the Little Brown Myotis which is a common species in buildings has just been listed as Federally Endangered which means that managing bats in buildings in a sensitive manner is

Liberals, NDP to debate proposed LNG deal during summer legislative session Dirk Meissner Canadian Press

VICTORIA - British Columbia’s politicians are returning to the legislature to debate the details of an agreement that could pave the way for the largest private investment in the province’s history - a proposed $36-billion liquefied natural gas export plant. The Pacific NorthWest LNG project planned for Lelu Island near Prince Rupert still requires federal environmental approval, and Malaysian energy giant Petronas has yet to make its final investment decision. But ratifying the project development agreement in the legislature provides investor certainty, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said. “We think the stakes are big,” he said about the deal he will introduce this week though legislative sessions are not typically held in the summer. “We are anxious to address the remaining issues that would lead to this particular project moving forward,” De Jong said. He said the potential economic returns from B.C.’s first LNG deal would outweigh targeted-tax tradeoffs included in a 25-year deal that is detailed in a legislative document he will table in the legislature. The project is estimated to create 4,500 construction jobs and could generate $9 billion in

government revenues in a decade, de Jong said. He said B.C.’s entire forest industry brought in between $550 million and $600 million for the province over the past five years. The agreement includes assurances that Pacific NorthWest LNG will not face significant increases in specific taxes, including the LNG income tax, the carbon tax and the natural-gas tax credit, de Jong said. It does not protect the company from increases in provincial sales and corporate taxes, he added. Opposition NDP Leader John Horgan said what he’s seen of the agreement looks more like a sellout than a payoff for the province. “I believe the (project development agreement), as it’s constituted, is in the interest of Petronas and not in the interest of B.C.,” Horgan said. “A quarter of a century tax holiday for a foreign company, no guarantees for direct jobs, no direct guarantee for local procurement. That strikes me as a failure all around and we’re going to be looking very hard at the legislation.” He said the New Democrats’ conditions for support on LNG deals include agreement by First Nations, fair returns for the province, jobs for British Columbians and solid environmental controls. “I support getting our resources to higher-priced markets,”

Horgan said. “I support making sure the development of those resources is done by British Columbians. ”Temporary foreign workers are not the solution to a growing economy.“ The B.C. government has initiated a series of apprenticeship and skills and trades training initiatives at the secondary and post-secondary levels to increase the provincial labour pool in advance of an expected worker shortage in the oil and gas industry. Premier Christy Clark has said LNG developments could result in up to 100,000 jobs. There are currently 19 LNG proposals underway, including the Petronas project, but none has reached the production stage. Horgan said the Opposition also plans to use the summer legislative session to question the government on the ongoing scandal involving the firings of eight health researchers almost three years ago. The government has asked ombudsperson Jay Chalke to conduct a second review of the matter but the NDP, the fired workers and their families are calling for a public inquiry. One of the dismissed workers, Roderick MacIsaac, committed suicide after losing his job amid government accusations of inappropriate and possible criminal conduct involving drug research.

over the winter, it is unusual. “There are several approaches to manag-

ing bats in buildings” continues Craig. Some landowners don’t mind having bats and simply leave them be or clean up the guano once a year. Others want to ensure that the bats are no longer able to use the building. We have developed a Seven Step guide to assist landowners with these issues.” One of the most important strategies in excluding bats from a building is to install a bat-house nearby. These wooden boxes comprised of various chambers provide the bats with an alternative habitat. They are less likely to be persistent in entering their old roost site in a building if they have somewhere else to roost.

Most southern Alberta trout streams threatened despite recovery plan: survey Bob Weber Canadian Press

EDMONTON - Virtually all southern Alberta streams that spawn native trout are threatened by industrial development or overuse, says a survey from a respected fisheries biologist. That’s even though both bull and rainbow trout are protected under federal law and are supposed to be benefiting from a recovery plan, says Lorne Fitch. “I have watched habitat and fish populations crater,” says Fitch, an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary, who spent 35 years as a leading provincial biologist. “All of our systems are under extreme pressure.” Fitch studied 54 small rivers and streams that flow into the Oldman River and hold bull and cutthroat trout. He found nearly every one of the waterways face multiple pressures: from logging roads to energy development to off-highway vehicle trails. The banks of Hidden Creek, spawning waters for up to 80 per cent of the Oldman’s bull trout, are weakened by clear-cuts and stream crossings and are falling in on themselves. Cow Creek, with a confirmed cutthroat population, is contaminated by feedlot effluent and is drained for irrigation. Fitch’s survey notes everything from motorcycle races to washed-out bridges to coal mining affecting creek after creek. Again and again he concludes “long-term cumulative im-

pacts on cutthroat trout and bull trout.” Scientists suggest land that contains trout streams shouldn’t have more than about just over half a kilometre of trail, cutline or road per square kilometre. The disturbance density in parts of the Oldman watershed is nearly 10 times that. The reason, Fitch said, is sediment. Nearby roads, forest disturbance and stream crossings all cause soil to wash into the current. Scientists used to believe that silt simply washed out. No longer. “What researchers are now finding is that this sediment actually starts to get trapped into the gravels and cobbles that make up the stream bed,” Fitch said. “That stuff solidifies, so that not only is it difficult for water to permeate through, it’s very difficult for trout to build a redd (nest). “Trout would have to come equipped with a pickaxe to break through some of that substrate.” And those hardpack streambeds aren’t going away anytime soon, said Fitch. “Some researchers have said this might endure for centennial time. It isn’t fleeting.” The result is that cutthroat populations are estimated at five per cent of historic levels. Bull trout - Alberta’s provincial fish - have lost at least 70 per cent of their original range. Fitch said the decline over the last generation or two in southern Alberta has been echoed all over the province.
