TRE VOR CR AWLEYDespite getting
caught in a downpour, the Cranbrook Bugle Band took the inclem-ent weather in stride and took a second place performance in the ju-nior band category at the Calgary Stampede’s opening weekend.
Showing off their new uniforms, the band performed selections of their own choosing for a half hour while braving a sudden hail storm.
In addition to the performance of the Cranbrook Girls Bugle Band, many other groups in a half a dozen other categories com-peted for six titles and prize money.
Show bands merge musical elements, dance and choreogra-phy, and present world-class musical and visual
performances. They are judged, out
of a possible score of 100, on a number of ele-ments including: what is heard (music), what is seen (visual), and the overall impact of the program’s visual and musical design.
“Bands are evaluat-ed based on a number of different criteria,” ex-plains Mayne Root, Chair, Parade Commit-tee. “Judges pay atten-tion to very minute as-pects, which the casual listener may not pick-up, such as tone, into-nation, rhythm, and tempo,” he adds.
Bands that present a compelling perfor-mance and visual de-sign, as well as bands that carefully synchro-nize their movements, achieve top marks.

BARRY COULTERTwo suspects were arrested at
the Cranbrook Husky Saturday, fol-lowing a manhunt that began in the area Friday night, after a series of vehicle thefts and aggressive driv-ing in the stolen vehicles.
Cranbrook RCMP, Southeast Traffic Services, the police dog ser-vice and the crime reduction unit responded to a series of serious in-cidents 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 sto-len vehicles to the area of Six Mile Lane until he was able to solicit as-sistance 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.
Early Saturday afternoon, fol-lowing 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 arrest-ed,” 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 remis 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.”

Arne PetryshenFor almost a month,
goats have been grazing Aq’am lands in an effort to mitigate the effects of invasive species. The project began in mid-June and will continue until July 15.
The goats are used to target invasive plants, notably Sulfur Cinque-foil on the St. Mary’s lands, while leaving na-tive plant to flourish.
Conrad Lindblom, along with his wife Donna, owns the com-pany doing the work — Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control out of Kam-loops.
“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, Lindb-lom and his wife have specialized in this type of invasive targeted grazing for 17 years. It is their fourth year in Ka-mloops.
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 sur-rounding ecosystem.
“We’ve come up with this method of con-trolling invasive weeds without these herbi-cides,” he said. “So there’s absolutely no reason to use herbi-cides.”
The current project targets Sulphur Cinque-foil, which is a intro-duced species that origi-nates from the Eastern Mediterranean.
“We’re restoring the grasslands for the Band; the grasslands are most-ly native plants, except for this invasive weed — the Sulphur Cinquefoil. So the goats are just tar-geting the Sulphur Cinquefoil, not eating the native plants.”
Lindblom said once the goats eat up the in-vasive plants, the native plants will thrive.

against sulfur cinquefoil
He said goats are a much better choice for the job than cattle, as cattle are not selective in what they eat and — be-cause 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 diges-tion 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 na-tive 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 eradi-cate 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 hors-es 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 fol-low them around and make sure they are eat-ing the right things. This
is a technique we’ve de-veloped 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 at-tention, because no-body wants to use herbi-cide.”
In Kamloops, Lindb-lom’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 ac-tually 30 per cent cheap-er than using herbi-cides.
“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 actu-ally 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 resto-ration. The goats can also be used to improve cattle pastures by elimi-nating 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.

C AROLYN GR ANTA challenge has been
issued by federal NDP candidate for the Koote-nay 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, Cran-brook and 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’ re-cord of attendance in the last federal cam-paign was 43 per cent.
“I intend to be there, debating the current MP at every opportuni-ty,” 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 de-bate committee, com-posed of a representa-tive 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 communi-ties in the riding.
“David Wilks must commit to be at an all-issues debate in every major communi-ty,” 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.”

Debating debatesFeDeraL eLeCtioN
Stetski’s campaign team sent an official re-quest 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 re-fused one will have to wonder whether or not Mr. Wilks is really will-ing to take questions from his constituents in a public forum. Is he re-ally willing to debate his opponents? Or does he think that once again he can just rely on the re-cord of the previous Conservative MP to win this election?”
The Daily Bulletin contacted Wilks’s office last week and asked for a comment but so far has not received a re-sponse.
The other candi-dates, however, are eager to get organized.
Bill Green of Kimber-ley, 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 small-er 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 participat-ed in six of the seven all candidates public fo-rums and only unfortu-nately missed one in In-vermere. I greatly en-joyed the debates and believe they provide the best way for voters to learn about their candi-dates and the candi-dates’ perspective and priorities. Recent poll-
ing shows strong and growing support for the Green Party in British Columbia. I look for-ward to further building that support in this rid-ing in the lead up to and during the campaign period.”
“We welcome the re-quest by the NDP candi-date to coordinate de-bates,” said Brian May, Liberal Communica-tions for Kootenay Co-lumbia. “Don Johnston knows very well through his work as former CEO of Columbia Basin Trust that the Kootenay Co-lumbia 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 de-bate 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 dis-cussions on what the debate traditions were in each community. We hope a time table can be arranged that will accommodate the Conservative candi-dates 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 coordina-tion committee.”
During the last elec-tion campaign, there were debates in Revel-stoke, Golden, Inver-mere, Kimberley, Fernie, Creston and Cranbrook. Mr. Wilks did not attend the debates in Kimber-ley, Cranbrook, Inver-mere and Revelstoke. At that time, Nelson was not part of the Kootenay Columbia riding.
NDP candidate Stetski throws down debate challenge to other candidates; Bill Green, Don Johnston accept, MP Wilks doesn’t respond
RCMPFour people were ar-
rested following the exe-cution of a drug search warrant and brief pur-suit in Cranbrook last week.
During the evening of July 9, the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Re-duction Unit initiated a drug trafficking investi-gation involving a group of individuals, a couple
whom recently relocat-ed to Cranbrook. As a result of this investiga-tion a search warrant was obtained under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
During the early morning hours of July 10, the search warrant was executed on a room at a Cranbrook hotel where a quantity of drugs were located and
seized and two individ-uals were taken into po-lice custody.
RCMP noted in a press release that inves-tigators were aware of a third individual in-volved and were waiting his arrival. When the thirrd individual ar-rived, he sped off in his vehicle after spotting the police nearby. Po-lice vehicles followed the suspect through an industrial area of Cran-brook 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 were to be taken before a Judicial Justice of the Peace.
“This is yet another great example of a coor-dinated effort between the Cranbrook/Kimber-ley Crime Reduction Unit and the Cranbrook RCMP Detachment,” said S/Sgt. Dave Dub-nyk. “Police believe this
group of individuals re-cently relocated to Cranbrook for the sole purpose of trafficking in illicit drugs so this is a clear message they are not welcome in Cran-brook if that is their only reason for being here.”
In custody is a 32-year-old male sub-ject from Kelowna, a 30-year-old male from Vancouver, a 25-year-old male from Cran-brook and a fourth indi-vidual whose identity is still undetermined.

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 light-ning caused fires over Friday night across the area.
There was a new start two kilometres south of Silverton and east of Highway 6, near Beaver-ton Creek and the base of Mount Aylwin. It was estimated at seven hect-ares in size on Saturday. BC Wildfire Service
crews, helicopters and airtankers are on scene. The Regional District of Central Kootenay has is-sued 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 lon-ger considered a ‘fire of note’.
Further north near Spillamacheen, there was no significant growth of the fire burn-ing near the highway. It remains at 54 hectares and has been classed as 100 per cent contained. Contract firefighters and
Many new lightning caused fires44 new starts on Friday night one officer remain on
site but heavy equip-ment and air support has been moved out.
Other new starts in-clude:
• A 0.7 hectare fire near China Creek, three kilometres west of Cas-tlegar
• 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 in-creased activity, the BC Wildfire Service priori-tizes fires and wildfire suppression response,” Turner said. “If fires are not posing an immedi-ate threat to residences we may make resources
available for higher pri-ority incidents. The pri-mary objectives of the BC Wildfire Service are the safety of our crews, along with protecting life and property.”
The busiest fire cen-tres in the province cur-rently 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.
The BC Wildfire Ser-vice is urging the public to be extra cautious in the backcountry. All person-caused fires are preventable and these incidents may affect the ability of the firefighting crews to respond to naturally occurring fires.
To report a wildfire or open burning viola-tion, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Rebecca Smith, an intern with the Groundswell Network, along with Lukas Eaton, a communications staffer with the RDEK, were on hand to put on a composting workshop at Rotary Park on Thursday.
BLaCk PressThe B.C. government
has approved condi-tional permits to allow the Mount Polley Mine near Williams Lake to resume operation, using an existing open pit on the mine site to store water and tailings.
The mine will take until early August to begin production, and up to 220 workers will return to work, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said. To contin-
ue operation into the fall, the operator will need another permit al-lowing it to treat and discharge water.
Repair work contin-ues on the tailings pond dam that was breached in August 2014. An inde-pendent investigation concluded the dam failed because of an overlooked glacial ma-terial layer in the foun-dation and a series of steep additions that eventually overcame it.
Conditions for the restart include the com-pany, a subsidiary of Imperial Metals, putting up an additional $6.1 million towards recla-mation of the Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake, where a torrent of water and mine tailings escaped.

The Columbia Basin Trust has pitched in to provide three mobile decontamina-tion units aimed at stopping invasive mus-sels from entering British Columbia water-ways.
Totalling a $360,000 investment, with financial contributions from the Columbia Power Corporation and FortisBC, the ad-ditional 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, com-plementing 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 En-vironment’s Invasive Mussel Defence Pro-gram, the Columbia Power Corporation, FortisBC and local invasive species coun-cils, including the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council, Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society, Columbia Shuswap Inva-sive Species Society and the Northwest In-vasive Plant Council.
A mobile decontamination unit was on display out at Moyie Lake as the announce-ment was made last Friday with local gov-ernment officials and program stakehold-ers in attendance.
Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett re-called how negatively invasive mussels af-fected a river on some recreational proper-ty his family owned in Ontario while grow-ing 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 irri-gation 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 Quag-ga mussels from entering B.C.”
Ember Heidt, an inspector with the In-vasive Mussel Defence Program, used the mobile decontamination unit to demon-strate what the process looks like.
When the units are set up, it is manda-tory for all boats—those towed on trailers, including canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards—to go through the manda-tory inspection process.
Failure to comply to the inspection pro-cess 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 tick-et 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 sim-ply involves spraying the watercraft with high-pressure, high-temperature water. The boat trailer is parked on mats that col-lect the excess water and filters it for any mussels that come off the hull, meaning that the water can be reused for future de-contaminations. Outboard motors are also flushed with high-temperature water, as the high heat kills any mussels.
Kaylish Fraser, the aquatic invasive spe-cies program coordinator of the Central Invasive Species Society, notes that inva-sive mussels are native to the Eurasia re-gion 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 bioengi-neer, 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 hydro-electric dam operations, by colonizing pipes and trash racks, which come at an extreme cost to clean.
There are concurrent programs run-ning south of the border in Washington, Idaho and Montana, while Alberta also has mandatory inspection programs. To date, there haven’t been any Zebra or Quagga mussels found in B.C. waterway, and the province is hoping to ensure in stays that way.

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 Na-tions-designated “safe area” defended by NATO troops. Or rather, not defended.
When the Bosnian Serbs, having sur-rounded 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 decid-ed they’d rather live and let unarmed ci-vilians 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 de-clared a genocide by the UN war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia. Both the Bosnian Serb president of the time, Rado-van 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 Satur-
day, symbolising the ap-proximate number of Mus-lim victims at Srebrenica. “On July 11, while the eyes of the whole world are on the killing fields near Sre-brenica”, he said, “we want to send a different picture
from Belgrade.”“This will not be a story about the cur-
rent regime, which has failed to define it-self 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 ar-rived yet.
Serbia’s interior minister, Nebojsa Ste-fanovic, 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 gov-ernment had already asked Russia to veto a UN Security Council resolution describ-ing the Srebrenica massacre as a “geno-cide”.
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 ambi-tion 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 can-not bring himself to use the word “geno-cide” when he talks about it.
Back in 1995, Vucic was a radical na-tionalist who declared in the Serbian Na-tional 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 commemora-tion 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 ac-cept the use of the word “genocide” — whereas that is the one word Bosnian Muslims have to hear before they can be-lieve that the Serbs have finally grasped the nature and scale of their crime.
That’s why, when Vucic was at Sre-brenica paying his respects in the ceme-tery, some Bosnian Muslims started throwing stones at him. His glasses were broken, and his security detail had to hus-tle him away.
It was a stupid, shameful act, and the Bosnian Muslim authorities have apolo-gised for it. But like the Turks and the Ar-menians, the Serbs and their neighbours will never really be reconciled until the Serbs say the magic word.

LONDON — Novak Djokovic got the better of Roger Federer at Wimbledon again.
The defending cham-pion outplayed Federer in four sets Sunday to win his third Wimble-don title and ninth Grand Slam champion-ship.
In a repeat of last year’s final, won by Djokovic in five sets, the top-ranked Serb over-came 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 Fed-erer four times and saved six of the seven break points he faced.
In winning the 40th
career matchup be-tween 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.

Batty finished in an unofficial time of 1:27:13, seven seconds ahead of Pendrel, who won gold at the 2007 Rio Games.
Erin Huck of the U.S., was third, 5:23 off the pace.Raphael Gagne of Quebec City and Derek Zand-
stra of Trenton, Ont., were to compete in the men’s race later in the day.

bronze in the same event in 2003.

nizers for the Pan Am Games say enthusiasm at the competitions is high even when atten-dance isn’t.
The head of the Games organizing com-mittee 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 excite-ment loud and clear.
Rafi says attendance is higher when Canada is competing and he ex-pects more people to start paying attention as the Games continue.
He says daily ticket sales doubled to rough-ly 20,000 on Saturday, the first full day of com-petition.
On Friday, total tick-et 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, af-ternoon, every day.”
“The sole objective is not necessarily full stands, it’s loud cheer-ing spectators,” and that’s already happen-ing, he said.
He described seeing full stands at the aquat-ics centre Saturday, with “red and white flags everywhere” and cheering sections for both the U.S. and Mexi-co.
Enthusiasm high at Pan Am Games, even if attendance low, organizers say

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 dai-ly 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 pro-tect her youngest child (my stepbroth-er) so that he would not be left alone with his pedophile father. John was so upset by the request that he cut off con-tact.
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 funer-al. 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 pro-cess. 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 recon-cile, 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 un-derstandable, 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 sib-lings 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 be-gan 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 warn-ing. Shingles is a reactivated chicken-pox virus. Anyone who has had chick-enpox 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 vac-cine 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.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sug-ar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your ideas come from much thought and experience. When you verbalize a concept, people listen because they sense the intelligence that comes with the idea. A matter that deals with your home might arise. Don’t worry -- you will land well. Tonight: Catch up on news.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You might want to be more aware of what is going on around you. Financial matters remain important. You have more support than you realize. Ask questions. You will gain more insight by being obser-vant. Let others know that you are concerned. Tonight: Avoid a power play.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are full of energy, and your mind is working overtime. A conversation regarding your funds and professional status could be very significant. You might feel awkward asking cer-tain questions, especially with co-workers and higher-ups.
Tonight: A partner pushes you.CANCER (June 21-July 22)Consider rethinking a personal matter. You will find that get-ting a better balance through openness is important. You might not want to make the first move. A partner or associ-ate will be demanding no mat-ter what you do. Tonight: Get some much-needed personal time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Your intuition encourages you to lean on someone you trust. Understand that not everyone has the same goals as you. Nev-ertheless, your caring will get a welcome response. You might not be able to make a move as quickly as you’d like. Tonight: Be spontaneous.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You might feel unusually tense, as others expect a lot from you. A partner cheers you on, and friends prove to be great supporters. Just the same, you could hit some awkward moments when having a dis-cussion. Just don’t play into a power play. Tonight: Be nice at all costs.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Look at the big picture rather than allow yourself to get trig-gered. You want to avoid some-one who insists upon having his or her way at any cost. You know that you don’t want to get into a power play with this person. Tonight: Note that people could be out of sorts.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You might sense a heaviness around you that emerges when relating on a one-on-one basis with others. Communication can be difficult if you don’t know what to say. Until you are sure of yourself, you would be wise to stay mum. Tonight: Avoid a disagreement.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will want to understand what is going on within you. You might react strongly to an associate, friend or loved one who seems to edge his or her way past your normal boundar-ies. Remember, you can say “no” nicely. Tonight: Smile and say “yes” to an invitation.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Your focus is on accomplishing what you need to get done. You
could hit several snafus along the way. A loved one might be giving you a lot of flak at the last minute. Your intuition helps you read between the lines. You will be able to end a conflict. Tonight: Know when to call it.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You might note that many people around you seem to be full of themselves; power plays seem to be a theme. You’ll want to pull back. You could opt to take a walk on the wild side and enjoy yourself to the max. As a result, you will run into kindred spirits. Tonight: As you like it.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A domestic issue might make you feel uncomfortable. You can’t run away; the only way to handle the problem is to face it head-on. You have the energy to get past a problem with ease. Don’t worry if someone doesn’t get what you are saying right now. Tonight: Happy at home.

Submit tedSummer is the sea-
son when property owners notice bats in their buildings. They may find guano on the deck, hear bats in the walls, or smell a build-up of guano. The Koote-nay Community Bat Project, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, has received numerous calls with these issues. In many cases, land-owners are happy to leave bats where they are. However, for land-owners who would like to have bats move out of their buildings, a new resource guide is avail-able.
“We are pleased to announce the publica-tion of this booklet which we developed in partnership with the BC Community Bat Pro-gram” 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 sum-mer, 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 step-by-step information to landowners dealing with bat issues.
Under the BC Wild-life Act it is illegal to ex-terminate 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 con-sidered at risk” says Craig. “However, the Little Brown Myotis which is a common spe-cies in buildings has just been listed as Federally Endangered which means that managing bats in buildings in a sensitive manner is

more important than ever.”
In general, bats in the Kootenays leave build-
ings in the late summer or early fall. They use fall roost sites where they mate and then go
into mines or caves to hibernate. Although there is a possibility that bats can use buildings
over the winter, it is un-usual.
“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 en-sure that the bats are no longer able to use the building. We have de-veloped a Seven Step guide to assist landown-ers with these issues.”
One of the most im-portant strategies in ex-cluding bats from a building is to install a bat-house nearby. These wooden boxes com-prised of various cham-bers provide the bats with an alternative habi-tat. They are less likely to be persistent in entering their old roost site in a building if they have somewhere else to roost.

VICTORIA - British Colum-bia’s politicians are returning to the legislature to debate the de-tails of an agreement that could pave the way for the largest pri-vate 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 devel-opment agreement in the legisla-ture provides investor certainty, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said.
“We think the stakes are big,” he said about the deal he will in-troduce this week though legisla-tive 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 econom-ic returns from B.C.’s first LNG deal would outweigh targeted-tax tradeoffs included in a 25-year deal that is detailed in a legisla-tive 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 de-cade, de Jong said.
He said B.C.’s entire forest in-dustry brought in between $550 million and $600 million for the province over the past five years.
The agreement includes as-surances that Pacific NorthWest LNG will not face significant in-creases in specific taxes, includ-ing the LNG income tax, the car-bon tax and the natural-gas tax credit, de Jong said. It does not protect the company from in-creases 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 sell-out than a payoff for the province.
“I believe the (project devel-opment agreement), as it’s con-stituted, is in the interest of Petro-nas and not in the interest of B.C.,” Horgan said. “A quarter of a century tax holiday for a foreign company, no guarantees for di-rect 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 prov-ince, jobs for British Columbians and solid environmental con-trols.
“I support getting our resourc-es to higher-priced markets,”
Horgan said. “I support making sure the development of those resources is done by British Co-lumbians. ”Temporary foreign workers are not the solution to a growing economy.“
The B.C. government has initi-ated a series of apprenticeship and skills and trades training ini-tiatives at the secondary and post-secondary levels to increase the provincial labour pool in ad-vance of an expected worker shortage in the oil and gas indus-try.
Premier Christy Clark has said LNG developments could result in up to 100,000 jobs. There are currently 19 LNG proposals un-derway, including the Petronas project, but none has reached the production stage.
Horgan said the Opposition also plans to use the summer leg-islative 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 inap-propriate and possible criminal conduct involving drug research.

EDMONTON - Virtually all south-ern Alberta streams that spawn na-tive trout are threatened by industrial development or overuse, says a sur-vey from a respected fisheries biolo-gist.
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 ad-junct professor at the University of Calgary, who spent 35 years as a lead-ing 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 pres-sures: 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 weak-ened by clear-cuts and stream cross-ings and are falling in on themselves. Cow Creek, with a confirmed cut-throat 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 con-cludes “long-term cumulative im-
pacts on cutthroat trout and bull trout.”
Scientists suggest land that con-tains trout streams shouldn’t have more than about just over half a kilo-metre of trail, cutline or road per square kilometre. The disturbance density in parts of the Oldman water-shed is nearly 10 times that.
The reason, Fitch said, is sedi-ment. Nearby roads, forest distur-bance 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 find-ing 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 diffi-cult 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 popu-lations 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 Alber-ta has been echoed all over the prov-ince.
