Cranbrook deer cull completed and comes in under budget A deer population management program has been completed in the City of Cranbrook. The program began on Tuesday December 1, 2015 with the setup and baiting of traps and concluded on January 13, 2016, with a total of twenty deer being captured and euthanized. “I am very pleased with the results of this program to manage and control our urban deer situation,” says Mayor Lee Pratt. “I know some people do not agree with our program, but in the interest

of the protection of citizens’ property and the safety of our residents it had to be done.” The Wildlife Permit was issued to the City of Cranbrook on October 19, 2015 by the Ministry of Forest, Land and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) and was valid from December 1, 2015 expiring on January 31, 2016. All of the deer euthanized were processed and 855 lbs. of meat has been distributed to three local organizations to be used

for human consumption. This process was clearly identified in the guidelines embedded in the Wildlife Permit provided by MFLNRO. All meat preparation was conducted by a qualified butcher and processed in a facility inspected and approved by both Interior Health and MFLNRO. The specific areas of the City targeted were based on complaints received by City staff from the public in 2015 along with the results of the urban deer population count conducted

on November 7, 2015. The results were 137 deer – the highest number of deer counted since this program began in 2010. The locations of the traps were determined by City staff based on this information along with complaints received by the provincial toll-free Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line and specific priority areas identified by the Conservation Officer Service. The program was completed under the $15,000 budget at

A housing affordability surcharge is being proposed as a way to redistribute money from investment property owners – including foreigners and other owners of vacant homes – to other residents in the same participating city. The UBC and SFU business professors behind the idea say it would be a modest step to restrain the upward spiral of house prices in

hot real estate markets. But more importantly, they say, it would spur investors to rent out now-vacant homes rather than merely using B.C. residential real estate as a place to park money. The proposal for the B.C. Housing Affordability Fund would cre-

disabled or anyone who has lived in their own home for several years. For others, the surcharge would be reduced for every dollar paid in annual income taxes by the owners, meaning the average working family in a typical home would likely owe nothing. Non-resident owners of vacant homes would have their surcharge reduced by the amount of rental revenue they declare to the federal government. “The targets are people who own real estate and leave it vacant and people who live here but essentially don’t declare much in Canadian income,” UBC’s Tsur Somerville explained. Those targets would include Canadian investors who own condos in Vancouver but find it easier to leave them empty than rent them, as well as wealthy Chinese families where the wife and kids live here but pay no income tax while the father works in China.

“Our intention was not to make it explicitly about foreigners,” Somerville said. “It was to make it about people who through their choices make housing more expensive for the people who are trying to live and work and carry on a normal life here.” Each municipality would decide if it wished to participate and money raised within its borders would be redistributed there. The academics are split on whether it should be rebated equally to all Canadian tax filers within the city or geared more to those in greater need. They estimate it could raise at least $90 million within Vancouver alone. Premier Christy Clark praised the proposal but stressed it is problematic. “It’s a good idea, but the execution is really hard,” Clark said. “We are looking at it. It’s really complicated, though. If somebody goes away for a year, a

university prof goes on a sabbatical at the University of Beijing, should we tax them? A senior citizen finds themselves in hospital for a long period of months, should we tax them?” Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association CEO Robert de Wit said there’s no hard data to justify such a policy. “It’s well-intended but it’s a bit of a harebrained idea,” he said, adding it would distort the market and create more problems than it solves. “This could lead to a flight of capital, which is not a good thing for the country.” B.C. Real Estate Association chief economist Cameron Muir said even the authors admit the proposal would do little to make homes more affordable for most buyers. NDP leader John Horgan praised the idea as a way to collect needed data on real estate owners and “generate money for affordable housing by taxing spec-

ulators and profiteers while remaining invisible to British Columbians filing income tax, seniors living in longtime family homes and landlords.” The province has signaled it intends to deliver some sort of reform to address housing affordability in the upcoming budget but without hammering down current real estate prices or the equity people have in their homes. One possibility is an extra increment of the property transfer tax that charges luxury homes more when they change hands. Assistance for new home buyers or renters are potential uses of the extra revenue. Somerville noted PEI bans non-residents from owning ocean front property and said it’s high time for B.C. to at least gather more information on who owns real estate here. – files from Tom Fletcher

Views B.C. Views: Things that are going well by Tom Fletcher In the early days of this new year, readers have advised me to do several things. I’ll go with one that seems relatively painless, embracing the “sunny ways” of our new federal government and seeking optimism in these fragile times. For starters, we have a building boom going on in the southwest. Here in Victoria, cranes dot the skyline as new residential-commercial projects emerge from bedrock, and hardhats are mostly on construction workers, scratched and backwards, rather than shiny and forward on politicians. Shipyards are busy, with Royal Canadian Navy work and cruise ship refits to reduce their emissions, plus work on ferries, tugboats and barges. Most of the activity is private investment, much of it in a hot housing market. Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building permits in history, a value of $1.46 billion nearly matching the pre-recession peak of 2007. Thousands of provincial employees get a small raise in February, based on stronger than forecast economic growth in 2014. It works out to $300 a year for a medical technologist and $346 for a teacher. Health care costs are rising less dramatically. That should ease the crisis atmosphere at provincial and federal

health ministers’ negotiations over the funding formula, taking place this week in Vancouver. Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week that the province is increasing funding for a promising program in cancer research, using genetic analysis to improve targeting for drugs to treat the hundreds of different cancers diagnosed in B.C. patients each year. The B.C. Cancer Agency’s new director, Dr. Malcolm Moore, oncologist Dr. Janessa Laskin and Dr. Marco Marra, director of the agency’s Genome Science Centre, described a world-leading centre of research that is reaching out to specialists and their patients across the province and attracting international funding and talent for groundbreaking research. Outside the urban regions, where retail sales and real estate mainly drive the economy, sunny ways are harder to find. The mining and natural gas sectors are in the grip of a slump in commodity prices, with more temporary mine closures expected. The forest industry is being helped by the low Canadian dollar and a steady recovery in the U.S. economy, and tourism is expected to have another strong year as Americans take advantage of a discount on visits to B.C. Central 1 Credit Union broke down the regional employment numbers for B.C. in 2015, and found job growth in

every region except the Cariboo. Province-wide employment grew 1.2 per cent last year, ahead of the national rate. That may not sound like much, but compared to Alberta’s oil-dependent economy, it’s pretty good. Construction of a new dam on the Peace River is expected to ramp up this year, bringing workers home from Alberta, and the federal government is planning to fast-track its promised infrastructure spending to create work across the country. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was in Toronto last week to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange with B.C. mining industry representatives. Not much sun on mining stocks these days, but Bennett’s sales pitch to an investor luncheon included reference to two more mines under construction in northwest B.C., the province’s Pacific Rim trade advantage, and revenue sharing with First Nations that is attracting attention of other provinces. The Conference Board of Canada has forecast that B.C.’s economy will “lead the country by a wide margin over the near term,” with unemployment declining in 2016. We’re at the mercy of global forces, but things could be a whole lot worse. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Letter: No oversight for years in logging According to Tom Fletcher, “an employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters” regarding logging in the Walbran Valley (Avatar Sequel Bombs in Walbran, Jan 12). He’s referring to me. Far from lurking, I’m proud to be campaigning with Sierra Club BC to save the some of the last significant stands of unprotected old-growth

on Vancouver Island. (And, to correct but one of the many misleading or false claims in Fletcher’s piece, Sierra Club BC is entirely independent.) Fletcher’s diatribe reveals him as Teal Jones’ willing stenographer, uncritically regurgitating the logging company’s talking points. Fletcher and Teal Jones may believe it is morally and ecologically acceptable to cut down

Letter: A message to council on deer culls Open letter to Mayor Pratt and Members of Council. Dear Mayor and Members of Council, I am a Director of Animal Alliance of Canada and I am writing for three reasons. The first is to clarify our long involvement in the discussion of deer culls in Cranbrook. The second is to explain how our position to support the relocation project came about. The third is to address the issues of the fawns in the traps. History of our involvement in deer culls in Cranbrook: Our organization has appeared before Council on this issue in previous years. We have communicated with previous Councillors and met with the previous Mayor. I came to Cranbrook during one cull to verify the claims by the Ministry and the

City: that the animals, when trapped, experience little or no stress because they simply lie down until the cull contractor arrives; that killing with the bolt was quick and painless; and the bleed-out was done immediately after. The Ministry staff had no problem with my request to attend the cull but the City, the permit holder, said no. How support for the relocation came about: We offered our assistance with non-lethal approaches to resolving human deer conflicts. We produced a paper that focused on non-lethal alternatives and distributed it to the communities that were culling. We supported the one-day “hazing” trial in Kimberley. When we were asked if we would give financial support for the proposed relocation programme, our Board

these magnificent trees and destroy complex, delicate ecosystems. Sierra Club BC doesn’t, and nor do the majority of British Columbians, who support concerted action to defend endangered old-growth trees, wildlife, a stable climate, clean water and clean air. British Columbians know that these things form the life-support system of our planet and support long-term prosperity and a diverse economy, including sustainable second-growth forestry for current and future generations. A

growing list of independent reports from B.C.’s Auditor General, the Forest Practices Board and even a Liberal MLA highlight the need for urgent action to save our forests. It’s long past time for the provincial government to reverse the damage done when it gutted the rules governing logging. Fourteen years of trusting corporate interests to manage our forests with little or no oversight has got to stop.

agreed. It was our understanding at the time that any community involved in the relocation project would not be culling. Secret cull exposed: Then in the late fall 2015, I learned that Cranbrook had received a permit and would proceed with a cull. At that time I contacted the all the municipalities involved in the relocation project and learned that Kimberley and Elkford would not be culling and that Invermere would. I received no call back from Cranbrook. As part of the BC Deer Protection Society, I recommended that we notify the residents of Cranbrook about a potential cull. We took out a full page ad the Cranbrook Townsman and still no comment from Council. In addition, I discovered that other partners in the relocation project had not been notified of Cranbrook’s decision to cull and some only learned when the video footage of the fawn in

the trap was released. I urge you not to demonize the messenger but ask yourself if this cull is as humane as you claim, how it was possible to document violations of the City’s permit on two separate occasions? Instead of making statements about those who provided the documentation and questioned the humaneness, I urge you to consider making the following recommendations at Council on Monday night: • that the treatment of these animals was unacceptable; • that the City will investigate its role as the permit holder, responsible for enforcing the conditions of the permit; and • that you seek a joint investigation of the matter with the responsible Ministry. Sincerely, ~Liz White, Director, Animal Alliance of Canada

Why would you have deer killed when those same deer could have been relocated and given a chance to live...and then you lie about it? Appalling! Hugs: Special hugs to Neil the Bobcat snowplower of sidewalks and driveways on 4th St S. You do a fantastic job! Hugs: To the lovely lady with such a pleasant personality at City Hall. You were so very kind helping me when I phoned concerning my garbage pickup. It was a pleasure speaking with you! Many thanks! Hugs: To a lovely young lady at Pharmasave, Baker Street Mall, who so kindly went out of her way to help me while shopping there. You were so courteous and sweet. Pharmasave should be proud to

have such caring and helpful staff. Thank you again. Hugs: Big hugs to the young couple at the Rec Plex who rescued my little dog, phoned me and kept her safe until I got there. Your kindness was appreciated. Hugs: A special HUG of thanks to Nicole Powell for stopping to assist me when I was rear ended a week before Christmas! You were so kind and helpful to me. Hugs: Huge belated hugs to Manny and the staff at both Arby’s and DQ for all their hard work in preparing hundreds of delicious turkey dinners on Christmas Day. What a great bunch of people!!

The guy knows who he is but just in case he drive’s a city bus. Hugs: To staff at the Cranbrook Public Library who provided life saving assistance to my mother when she had a stroke. I can’t thank you enough for your care

and compassion! Slugs: To the oil companies for overcharging the citizens of Cranbrook. Prices in Calgary are in the mid 70 cent range and we are still paying 1.04 per litre. Wonder if the city is overcharging the oil companies for doing business in town so they have to pass this on to us?

The White-breasted Nuthatch just hanging around, waiting for spring. Submitted by Daryl Calder on behalf of Rocky Mountain Naturalists A good number of naturalists from the East Kootenay and Crowsnest Pass, joined

forces on December 27th for the Cranbrook Christmas Bird Count. With the help of several feeder watchers, a wide variety of birds were counted on the cool, cloudy, calm day. Sometimes, a large number of individuals

of a particular species such as Bohemian Waxwings, will skew the total, but that was not the case this year. Similarly, the species count can be elevated when only one individual of each of several species is observed. This oc-

curred with the Roughlegged Hawk, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Blackbilled Magpie, Chestnut-backed Chickadee and Golden-crowned Kinglet, although these birds are not particularly uncommon. Unfortunately, such year round birds as the Great Blue Heron, Northern Goshawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Golden Eagle, Blue and Ruffed Grouse, Northern Pygmy Owl, Belted Kingfisher and Brown Creeper could not be found. Naturalists were pleased with their effort and opportunity to contribute to the 116th Audubon CBC. One little, non-migrating bird which is common in mature, mixed woods, is the Whitebreasted Nuthatch. All 3 species of North American nuthatches are found in the East Kootenay. The Whitebreasted is the largest; it’s clean markings give it a rather appealing look. It is successful be-

cause of it’s attributes and habits. The name nuthatch is actually a corruption of the word nuthack, because of it’s tendency to wedge seeds into crevices and hack them open with it’s bill. Thanks to strong legs and toes, long, curved talons and a long, strong bill, this active, agile bird can walk up, down and sideways on tree trunks and large limbs. Starting near the top of a tree and spiralling it’s way down, this nuthatch forages intensively. Unlike woodpeckers which rely on their stiff tails to keep them anchored, the White-breasted uses the long, claw-like hind toe on each foot to get a grip. During the summer, when probing bark crevices, they prefer to eat spiders and insects including ants, caterpillars, weevils and beetles. In winter, they switch to a more vegetarian diet with more

seeds. They continue to eat many insects which are pried from their wintering spots in bark crevices. In developed areas, they have learned to eat suet and peanut butter mixes as well. The white-breasted stores large quantities of food in winter, by poking it into bark furrows and tree crevices. By using each storage site only once, food is dispersed across it’s territory, a practice known as scatterhoarding. The precious food stores are often covered up with bark flakes or lichen. With a life span of ten or twelve years, one can only imagine how much detail this bird will learn about it’s habitat. Often heard before it is seen; it’s nasal ‘quank’ is distinctive and strong. The male performs a rather simple song, a regular series of 6-8 notes. Pairs form long term bonds and remain on nesting territories year round. They do not generally excavate their own holes, but nest in a natural cavity or old woodpecker hole. Occasionally, they use artificial nest boxes. The female builds the nest, which is a soft cup of bark fibers, grass, hair and feathers. Sometimes mud is added to the entrance of the cavity, perhaps to keep larger predators away. They will also brush the nest, inside and out, with a crushed insect. The chemical secretions may keep predators away. The female incubates 5-9 eggs for 12-14 days. The male feeds the female while she incubates, and helps her feed the young when they hatch. The little ones leave the nest after 14-26 days, but stay with the adults for several more weeks until they become completely independent.
