Woman dies in Hills house fire GREG NESTEROFF Black Press
RCMP say a woman’s remains have been discovered following a house fire on Purdy Rd. in Hills on Monday.
Police, the BC Coroners Service, and the BC Fire Commissioner’s Office conducted a thorough scene examination Tuesday in an attempt to determine the cause, Sgt. Darryl Little said. “At this point there is no evidence of foul play,” he said. “It appears that the fire may have
Nakusp’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662
been caused from a wood burning cookstove.” Little said there is evidence to suggest the woman re-entered the home to save her belongings but was overcome by the fire, which destroyed the home. A positive identification of the remains has not been made.
Slocan Lake RCMP arrived at the home just after midnight Monday to find it fully engulfed in flames and the homeowner, a 44-year-old woman, unaccounted for. Local residents with help from the Hills volunteer fire department extinguished the blaze before it could spread to the nearby forest.

Residents in areas of the Columbia Basin-Boundary region that currently do not have high speed internet connections may soon see an upgrade to their online access. On July 8 the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry and Minister Responsible for British Columbia, and David Wilks, Member of Parliament for Kootenay–Columbia announced that the government program, Connecting Canadians (Digital Canada 150), has approved the Columbia Basin Trust’s funding application to bring internet access to remote and disconnected areas. Connecting Canadians will be providing $3.34 million to the Trust’s subsidiary, Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation, who will be coordinating the project and working with 12 internet service providers to install wire or wireless infrastructures capable of providing high speed internet connection. The proposed project will target over 11,000 homes in the Kootenay region, including homes in Edgewood, Whatshan Lake and Slocan Valley. “Columbia Basin Trust is committed to bringing better broadband to the Columbia
This is great news for the Kootenays and shows that the Government of Canada understands the importance of high-speed internet access for our communities and people.
Basin–Boundary region, and this funding is an important step forward in giving over 11,000 households the ability to participate fully in the digital world,” said Neil Muth, President and CEO, Columbia Basin Trust. “Thank you to the Minister, the Government of Canada, our local government partners and internet service providers for their efforts in bringing affordable high-speed internet services to our communities.” Connecting Canadians was created through the 2014 Economic Action Plan
and has been backed by a $305 million commitment to connect over 280,000 homes by 2017. Over 99 per cent of Canadian households currently have access to basic broadband with speeds of 1.5 Mbps, but newer online technologies typically require faster speeds and higher data transfer rates. Megabits per second, or Mbps, is an international standard unit of measurement used to measure total amounts of data downloaded. The program aims to provide internet service up to a minimum of 5 Mbps. In the summer of 2014 the Connecting Canadians program collected data to determine areas in need of high-speed internet access then Industry Canada invited service providers to submit proposals for funding. There have been over 300 applications from service providers from every province and territory in Canada. “This is great news for the Kootenays and shows that the Government of Canada understands the importance of high-speed internet access for our communities and people.” David Wilks commented, “[This] announcement demonstrates the Government’s commitment to delivering for rural Canadians.”

Smile Week SMILE of OF the THE W EEK
Unless you’d heard about it beforehand, you would never know how dangerous Japanese Knotweed is just by looking at it. It’s not spiky, it’s not menacing, and it’s not poisonous. It resembles bamboo but for its broad, heart-shaped leaves. It seems completely innocent; just another plant minding its own business, enjoying sunlight and all that good stuff. Nothing to see here, move along. Much like Clark Kent, looks can be deceiving. Unlike Clark Kent, Japanese Knotweed is not a blessing in disguise — it’s an ecological terror, laying waste
to whatever stands in its way. The plant can grow through concrete roadways and brick walls. It can take over fertile areas to the point of creating a monoculture — an area completely made up only if its own species. It’s even been known to divert rivers. Not only that, it’s also extremely difficult to get rid of. Ripping it out won’t work. Digging it out won’t work. The plant has roots that can reach 20 meters horizontally and 3 meters deep. Even burning the plant doesn’t solve things; any tiny bit of knotweed that remains can and will sprout into a new shoot. These reasons are why it’s ranked as #37 of the most invasive species worldwide.
Japanese Knotweed hasn’t stayed in Japan. Brought to England in 1850 and originally discovered by an explorer by the name of Philipp von Siebold, it quickly became popular for its pleasing looks and easy-to-grow nature. Now, it’s a national epidemic in Britain; one that can destroy property values, cost thousands of dollars in legal fees, and even cause lenders to deny mortgages. Without a single 15,000 hectare patch of land in all of Britain without the plant, such extreme reactions are understandable. Japanese Knotweed has spread across Canada, even to isolated places like Nakusp. This Superman plant does have
a Kryptonite, but it is incredibly tedious to administer. The plant must be dosed with a herbicide, which is either injected into or sprayed onto every individual stalk. If any stalks are missed, the plant can recover. In a best-case scenario, the infestation will be gone within the season; more than likely though, it will take longer than that to completely eradicate. Researchers have been delving into the knotweed problem with three herbicide-free alternatives having shown success; one using saltwater sprayed over the plants, one using a psyllid that feedsexclusively on the plant, and another using a leaf spot fungus.

Another great year for CBT $22 million in programs and services delivered to the Basin over 2014/15
As it approaches its 20th anniversary, Columbia Basin Trust is pleased to announce 2014/15 was another year of strong support to the area it serves in the Columbia Basin. Over the year the organization delivered nearly $22 million in programs and services to communities and residents, $17 million in new loans to Basin businesses and earned revenues of over $29 million. The Trust works to strengthen the region’s social, economic and environmental well-being. In 2014/15, activities included establishing a new resource to support sports and physical activity, helping Junior Achievement expand into the Basin so youth can learn about entrepreneurship, renewing the Trust’s Social Strategic Plan and continuing to create a regional open-access broadband network. The main way the Trust supports these activities is by investing in power projects. All power projects performed well over the year, and brought in revenues of over $22 million (out of total revenues of $29 million). In spring 2015 Waneta Expansion began operating, which will positively impact future revenues. The Trust also invests in market securities (stocks and bonds) and local real estate, and provides loans to Basin-based businesses.
“Because of the strong performance of our investments, our revenues were higher than anticipated, which means we were able to offer more programs and services to Basin residents,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Officer. “Moving into the future, we look forward to having even greater impact on well-being in the region.” A major emphasis over the year involved engaging with residents to ask what’s important to them and how the Trust should focus its efforts. About 3,000 people provided input that will help the Trust make decisions, set priorities and manage how it provides programs and services to the region. Read more about the Trust’s performance in its 2014/15 Annual Service Plan Report at cbt.org/annualreport. For stories and photos of some of the projects it has supported, look for the magazine Your Trust (formerly Report to Residents) in your mailbox this fall. Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin.

Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Have you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet. So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public. This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those selfappointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations. The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true. “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry — for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline. Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water. It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain
what’s really going on. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water. “You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental — a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water. “That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.” As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley. blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmen-

No one likes to think that an emergency such as a wildfire or earthquake will happen. However, in the event that it does, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared both for one self and also for the family pets. The following is a useful guide for those concerned with taking precautions, prepared by Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA branches. Locally, we are served by
members of the non-profit group known as PALS who’s goals are similar especially when it comes to encouraging our animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet preparedness. As we are well aware, wildfires can suddenly break out in many of BC communities during dry spells and this has caused evacuation orders and states of emergency prompting people to leave their homes or businesses, quickly and without delay. “When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible,” says Chortyk, “and pet owners don’t necessarily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late when you may not have the time or resources to suddenly gather up everything needed if you have to get out of your home straight away.”

When one is in a hurry, it’s easy to forget feeding bowls, food, leashes, and other necessities, Chortyk continued, “that’s why it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any emergency. People love their pets but it often doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.” Having an emergency kit handy is key, as well as ensuring that your pet is already wearing a collar with up-to-date contact information. Keeping your pets inside the house so you don’t have to take valuable time to search for them, is also a good idea. The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ mission is to enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in our province. Next week’s column will focus on how to prepare an emergency kit for your pet.

talists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY
NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS EDGEWOOD & AREA VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2454, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the purpose of operating the volunteer fire department. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Edgewood Volunteer Department is a registered and fully incorporated society. The society operates two fire halls in the community. Volunteer fire fighters answer emergency calls 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Operating expenses for the society include: hydro electric power; response vehicle licensing, insurance; maintenance and fuel; training; and equipment. Currently, the society’s gear is outdated and needs to be replaced with equipment that meets regulations. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The fire department is requesting an annual grant-in-aid that would assist with these costs. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year.
Trails Society bridge repair
Bylaw 2454 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000.
The Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society had a work party on the Saddle mountain trail last week to repair recent damage. There were a lot of trees down on the way to the bridge, which stopped the workers frequently. They were able to finish repairs to the bridge to 90 per cent but will go back a second time to complete the project.
Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000
Submitted by Wulf Mense
Property assessed at
$100,000 $250,000 $400,000
$16.60 $41.50 $66.40
ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2454 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca WHO MAY SIGN THE ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: Electors, either resident or owning property, within the boundaries of the Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Area are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act as described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors.

Softball continues to thrive in Nakusp RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Once again two months of ballin’ boiled down to the Brew Jays and ITP battling out the final game of the Nakusp Mixed Slo-pitch League. Facing off for the second consecutive time in the championship match, the two heavy hitting squads swung their way through the seven team tournament bracket and found themselves toe to toe on July 13. The Brew Jays arrived at the finals coming off a successful regular season and arrived hungry to redeem themselves after the late, 7th inning upset that snatched the championship away from them last year. ITP earned a first place finish in the regular season
and enjoyed a first round buy in the playoffs, but there were no guarantees going into the final match. “Every team won games and lost games this year,” league organizer and ITP team member, Zac Wethal commented. “Every game right up to the final was up for grabs which made for some exciting ball this year.” ITP got on the sticks first and managed to eek out a run in the top of the opening inning, but the Brew Jays quickly responded with three runs batted in at the bottom of the first. The Brew Jays lead was short lived however, as ITP calmly exploited a gap in left field and skillfully dropped two crucial hits on the fair side of the foul line which created time and
space for base runners to round the diamond. The Brew Jays slipped behind, 6-3 by the end of the second inning and spent the rest of the game struggling to closeout ITP’s batting order and bridge the RBI gap. Slick pitching and quick plays by ITP fielders held the Brew Jays at bay, and the game was settled at 14-6 for ITP by the bottom of the seventh inning. Teams are now preparing for the uninhibited festivities that will descend on the village of Nakusp for the August Long Softball tournament; however, Wethal is excited to announce that this year the tournament will not mark the end of the Nakusp ball season.

Birds of Nakusp: Falcons are predatory birds characterised by long, pointed wings and rapid flight. There are five members of the falcon family in BC. They range in size from the American Kestrel at about 25cm in length up to the Gyrfalcon at 55cm. The kestrel is the most widespread in B.C. In summer its diet shifts to insects, particularly grasshoppers. When such items are not available they are quite capable of taking small rodents and birds. Over much of its range, the Merlin is generally not as common as the kestrel but in Nakusp, it’s quite the opposite. Kestrels prefer open habitat, something we have little of, whereas Merlins are quite at home in forested areas. Their diet consists largely of small birds, but I have also seen them eating large insects, particularly dragonflies. One of their favourite nest-sites is the abandoned nests of crows. Since crows are usually found near human habitation, Merlins have become quite at home in towns and cities. At about 30cm in length, the Merlin is a bit larger than the kestrel but still considerably smaller than a crow. In the Nakusp area, there are two long-established resident pairs of Merlins; one that nests in or near the park in town and one at the golf course. Casual data also suggests pairs at McDonald Creek P. P., New Denver townsite, and the New Denver golf course. Most years, these resident pairs leave for the winter and return early in the spring, usually in mid to late March. Sometimes one can be seen in town throughout the winter, whether this is one of the resident pair, or another bird that spent the summer further north, is difficult to say. The Nakusp park territory has been occupied since at least 1978. Obviously not by the same pair, but presumably by descendents of the original pair. There is an abundance of old crow’s nests in the park, so nesting opportunities are plentiful. During late March and April, when the pair begins to court and re-establish bonds, they are quite vocal. There are two common calls that you might hear if you walk past: a rapid kik-kik-kik-kik-kik-kik-kik and a slower keee keee keee keee keee, each note rising toward the end. The pair will raise two or three young which leave the nest in late June or early July. At this pont you might see four of five of them flying about. The young are very noisy during the first few

weeks as the parents desperately try to satisfy their ever hungry offspring! The young fly somewhat awkwardly at this time. In the development of the juvenile birds, flight feathers come in much sooner than tail feathers. Flight feathers enable them to fly, but short tail feather make steering and stability a bit of a problem. Other falcons that occur in BC, are Peregrine Falcon, Prairie Falcon and Gyrfalcon. These species are much less common, although the Peregrine is quite regular in some locations along the coast. In the 40 years I have lived in this valley I have seen only one Gyrfalcon, two Peregrines and less than a dozen Prairie Falcons.
Nakusp resident, Darlene Dreidiger, earned a first place award for her professional peony arrangement in the first ever juried peony show hosted in Castlegar on June 26-28. Dreidiger’s arrangement was judged in the Best Artistic Floral Design category and was among 287 other entries for the show. Both amateur and professional growers were invited to participate in the competition and entries were submitted from across western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. “I didn’t know anything about peonies before I was invited to attend by a member of the peony club,“ Dreidiger explained, “but now I am hooked. I have one peony growing now, and I plan on getting more. Peonies are one of the few flowers that are deer resistant and that is what sold me, that and there are so many different types. So people can look forward to me having more peonies in the future.”

NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS
• Continued from page 8 Sighting “team interest and enthusiasm” as the driving force the executive has decided to continue to play ball in Nakusp past “Aug-long” for the first time. Wethal is also looking to the future for ways to grow the sport in Nakusp and surrounding areas as well as address some of the concerns that were brought forward this season. “Every year there is something people question about the league,” Wethal explained, “and the big one this year was trying to make the game more enjoyable for the girls. Two things I am looking at are switching balls back and forth during the games (women and men) or introducing a line in outfield that fielders can’t pass until the girl batter hits the ball.” Wethal is also interested in piloting a local “one pitch tournament” after the August long weekend tournament and eventually a wooden bat tournament in Burton. Wethal recalls fond memories of playing ball in Burton and would like to see the game and the field revitalized. “They used to have a wicked tournament down there with up to 12 teams, hopefully we can breathe a bit of life into the field and organize a tournament down there in the future,” he said. Wethal would like to thank all of the volunteers that helped make this season a successful one. “I appreciate the support I get from everyone, there is a general understanding that to make ball happen there is work involved and people have stepped up to help. Many hands make lighter work.”
Peony show winner • Continued from page 9 American Peony Society’s annual competition. Together, they own Adelman Peony Gardens in Brooks, Oregon. Judges of the artistic floral design categories were Janice Ferraro of Castelgar and Doug Bradford, president of the Prairie Peony Society. The event was also attended by MP Alex Atamenenko, MLA Katrine Conroy, Castelgar mayor Lawrence Chernoff, Nelson mayor Deb Kozak and was listed as one of the stops on the Castelgar Garden Tour. Originally billed as a “one time event” by the Canadian Peony Society, the tremendous community support and generous sponsorship have encouraged organizers to consider hosting the even again in the future. “It was a lot of fun” Dreidiger shared, “it was a blast and now I am hooked on peonies.”
EDGEWOOD & AREA ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION HALL FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2455, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the operation and maintenance of the community hall portion of the Royal Canadian Legion building in Edgewood. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #203 has provided Edgewood and area residents with a community hall for several years. The community hall is well used and highly valued by the community. The Legion has subsidized operating costs of the hall as a service to the community. However, the Legion’s income is falling while operating expenses continue to rise. The Legion has explored alternative sources of funds to continue to operate the hall but has found none. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The Legion is requesting taxation to fund the costs to maintain and operate the community hall portion of the building. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year. Bylaw 2455 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000. Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000 Property assessed at
$100,000 $250,000 $400,000
$16.60 $41.50 $66.40
ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2455 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca WHO MAY SIGN THE ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: Electors, either resident or owning property, within the boundaries of the “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area” are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act as described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors. DEADLINE: The Elector Response Form must be received by the undersigned before 4:30 p.m. on August 31, 2015. If you have any questions regarding this proposal or would like to request an Elector Response Form, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Information relating to this notice will also be available on the Regional District’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca under “Public Notices.”

Terrance “Paul” Guidon
Terrance “Paul” Guidon passed away suddenly on June 19th at the age of 48 years. Paul was born in Nakusp on September 27, 1966 and lived his life in Nakusp, working in the bush and hauling logs until his shoulder condition didn’t allow him to work long hours anymore. Paul enjoyed outdoor activities which included hunting and fishing and small time farming on his property. At one point he had 300 chickens, a few cows and pigs, and sold beef, pork and eggs to the community. He is survived by his loving wife Jan of 21 years, his children Hannah, Rebecca, Mikel and Hunter and his parents Larry and Coleen. A memorial service was held on June 27th at the Nakusp Arena Auditorium.
