Bear safety in mindAndrea DeMeer
Similkameen SpotlightIt’s bear season in Princeton –
and everywhere else.In the past week there has been
one official bear sighting in town, on Billiter Avenue, as well as a cougar sighting on Huffs Road eight days ago, according to the Wildlife Alert Reporting Program operated by WildSafeBC.
But there are lots more bears out there, says Zoe Kirk, RDOS WildSafeBC community coor-dinator. Spotlight readers have reported seeing bears on the Princeton Summerland Road and Highway 5A near the airport. Kirk confirmed there is a bear currently living in downtown Penticton.
“British Columbia is home to 25 percent of the black bear pop-ulation in Canada,” said Kirk, in an interview with the Spotlight Monday. “There are only two places in BC that don’t have black bears and that’s down-town Vancouver and downtown Victoria.”
Conversation officers do not count bears or tag them, but Kirk said there are other ways to quantify the bear population including forensic evidence and environmental markers.
“It stands to reason that a place like Princeton, in a low lying area on the rivers with that big nice mountain behind you and the flat area in front of you that that is going to be an area that attracts bears...We’ve plunked ourselves as human beings in exactly the same habitat as the bears.”
Kirk said the large urban dear
population in Princeton, and the fact that the area has enjoyed a long hot summer, with good berry crops and strong river flows to accommodate fish, con-tribute to bear habitation.
Kirk, who recently gave a bear safety talk at Princeton’s New Beginnings, said education is the key to reducing the risk of human-bear encounters.
“When you get a bear com-ing into town and getting into someone’s garbage and realizing how easy it is to go down the smorgasboard of garbage cans, you get them habitating.”
During this season a black bear requires 24,000 calories a day and it has “a sense of smell that is five times better than a bloodhound. A bear can smell a peanut butter sandwich from a kilometer and a half away.”
WildSafe BC urges the follow-ing steps to promote bear safety around your home.
•Store garbage in a secure building until collection day or consider purchasing a bear-resis-tant household container.
•Ensure bins are tightly closed.•Regularly wash all recycling
items and clean the bins that con-tain garbage or recycling.
•Do not leave garbage in the back of a truck, even if it has a canopy.
•If you cannot store garbage securely, freeze smelly items and add to the bin only on the morn-ing of collection.
•Pick fruit and allow it to ripen indoors or pick daily as it ripens. Do not allow windfall to accumulate on the ground.
•If you do not want the fruit,
prune the tree vigorously to pre-vent blossoms or spray spring blossoms with a garden hose to knock them off.
•If you would like to make the fruit available to others, contact a local fruit exchange program or food bank.
•Consider using electric fenc-
ing to protect your fruit trees.If you no longer want to man-
age your tree, consider replace-ment with a native, non-fruit bearing variety.
•Berries should be picked as they ripen.
•Consider replacing your bushes with native, non-fruiting
varieties if you do not want the fruit.
•Consider using electric fenc-ing to protect your berry bushes.
•Birdseed is a good source of calories for bears and other wild-life. A kilogram of sunflower seeds has approximately 8,000

According to WildSafeBC the bear population in the Princeton area will be active and hungry until mid November to December..

Spotlight StaffThe 182-hectare wildfire that
threatened Princeton three weeks ago was caused by a vehicle, according to the Kamloops Fire Centre.
Carbon from an unknown vehicle, or sparks from brakes, ignited dry grass and the fire quickly spread, said Kayla Pepper, communications offi-cer with B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch.
The location of the fire’s origin – very near the roadway – was key to investigators identifying the cause of the blaze. While there was local speculation the fire was started by a
cigarette, Pepper said “other causes have been ruled out.”
The fire was reported September 14 about 6:30 p.m., six km north of town. Local fire volunteer fire crews joined the Kamloops Fire Centre. The suppression effort included the use of heavy equipment and five air tankers. Fire specialists remained on site for nine days for mop-up procedures.
“Personnel will continue to moni-tor the fire to ensure it remains extin-guished, said Pepper.
The investigation into the incident has been closed.

The Riverside Centre was the focal point of the Earth Alive! art exhibition on the weekend. Its walls displayed an array of local artisan works ranging from kiln-fired clay pieces, to paintings created in all mediums - acryl-ics, watercolours, pho-tographic images – as well as the delicate intricacies of hand-made quilts. It gave one the feeling of entering Princeton’s version of ‘The Louvre’ as art aficianados took their time, assessing each piece – hands in pock-ets, a finger perched thoughtfully against closed lips.
The exhibition is open at the Riverside Community Centre until October 1.
The first-place win-ner, A Fish-eye View, was an 8 by 3 foot lexan (acrylic) column layered with hand-dyed mohair fashioned by elementary school teacher Shirley Lowe.
Second place was presented to Susan
Delatour for her hand-sculpted pottery Shadows on Ol’ Red Hoose and Dancing Towards Le Luberon. Third place was awarded to Merrilyn Huycke for her por-trait of Susan Allison. Honourable men-tions went to Jessica Dennis for her painting Recall This Place and to Ruth Kavanaugh for her works, Grotto # 2 and Spirit of the Similkameen.
All entries were
judged prior to the opening by art critics Katie Brennan and Jim Kalnin. Both jurors are well known in arts communities outside of Princeton.
“We were both really impressed by what we saw today, at the level of quality and the level of innovation and personal voice in the show,” said Brenna.
Other contribu-tors were Ed Staples, Ruth Kavanaugh, Susan Jakubec , Paula
Pateman,. Kathy Schneider, Alexanadria Smith, Shirley Freding, Joan Kelly, Johanna Nott, Joann Esselink, Rosemary Doughty, Renee Harrison, Joann Gabriel, and Guadalupe Gutierrez.
“I would like to thank the British Columbia Art Council for assisting us with the funding for this, for giving us the operating funds and the Town and the Regional District
of the Okanagan-Similkameen also for funding for these events,” said Marjorie Holland, Arts Council board director.
The Princeton
Arts Council would like to thank all who entered their work, Nadine McEwen and Nienke Klaver for their assistance, as well as Fletcher Building
Supplies, Rosemary Woodruff, Bunchgrass Quilters, Cool Beans, Sue Delatour, Kathy Schneider and Merrilyn and Paul Huycke.

The Riverside Community Centre will be rocking this weekend when it hosts the Princeton Gem Show.
Exhibitors will be on hand with displays of completed projects and demonstrations of equipment and tools used in gem craft and there will be items for sale.
The Princeton Rock and Gem Club, which is hosting the two-day event with the Gem and Mineral Foundation of Canada, will display its own geological treasures, many of them found in Princeton’s backyard in river beds and on the side of roads.
Doors will be open Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm, and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. Adult admission is $4, children $2 and kids under age 6 are admit-ted free.

WHISTLER – The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for union-ized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.
When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume.
Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increas-ingly dominant voting bloc.
Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accord-ingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters.
During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors.
Is the province going to impose some kind of solution?“There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied.
More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level as well.
Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized bar-gaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground?
“We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.”
Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this?
“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether tax-payers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to com-ment on the advantages of coordinating efforts.”
NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elec-tions.
Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.
Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitra-tion. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.
So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE?
There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local gov-ernment that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column.

Butt seriously...
this is a problem
Smoking is a dirty, filthy rotten habit and people shouldn’t do it.
It’s pretty tough to make smoking even less attractive than it is naturally but one way is by not providing ashtrays to those poor addicts who need a fix.
Without ashtrays, not only are smokers pol-luting their own bodies and the air around them, they finish off by polluting the sidewalk and the ground.
Princeton needs ashtrays downtown.To its credit, the local works department
does a good job picking up litter in the town’s core and keeping the main street pretty. The job would be easier however if ashtrays were strategically placed along the main street so that smokers weren’t littering all day, some times every hour on the hour.
According to CigaretteLitter.Org, a not-for-profit group dedicated to education on this issue, several trillion cigarette butts end up as litter world wide each year. Cigarettes are actu-ally the most littered item in America.
In addition to spoiling the natural beauty of streets and beaches and hiking trails, cigarette litter negatively impacts the environment as butts are made of cellulite acetate tow, not cot-ton, and they can take decades to degrade.
The Princeton Legion sometimes leaves a large coffee can near its door, for passing smok-ers as well as patrons.
The Town of Princeton ought to be able to come up with a solution more sophisticated than that.
Like ashtrays.In addition to the aesthetics issue and envi-
ronmental damage, cigarette butts also pose another risk immediate to Princeton and that’s wildfire. Unlikely an uncontrollable blaze will break out at Veterans’ Square, but let’s err on the side of caution and clean streets.

There’s someone I would like you to meet.
Gifted and prolific writer, courageous newspaperwoman, pioneering feminist and freedom fighter.
That is my grandmother, Irma Grebzde.I didn’t meet Irma, did not know she
existed until 14 years ago. And I’ve never written about her, which is odd because with nearly 30 years in the business I’ve written about almost everything else.
It started with a phone call, and a stranger on the line from the bowels of a government building in Montreal. The stranger’s name was Barbara, and her hobby was the very illegal accessing and matching of birth documents with infor-mation gleaned from an online adoption registry to which I’d contributed data years previously.
I have the name of your birth mother. She is Dace Grebzde.
Barbara was passionate about uniting birth families. She was on a search for her own daughter whom she gave into adoption the same year I was born. Also a genealogist and researcher, she went to work for me investigating the past.
Never ask a question unless you are sure you can handle the answer.
Dace Grebzde became a mother at the age of 24. Years earlier she was, by all accounts, a bright and inquisitive young-ster. At the age of nine she experienced an acquired brain injury and that’s where she stayed, at the age of nine and a forever child.
There is no record of my birth father
so all I know about him is he raped my mother, as a for-ever child cannot form consent.
Dace herself was born in Germany in 1943, and her father – my mater-nal grandfather – was described to me as “a tax col-lector for the gov-ernment of the day.”
The search was over. Mommy was brain damaged, Daddy was a sexual predator and for all I knew I was directly descended from Hermann Goring. It brought the essential functionality of my adopted fam-ily into startling focus.
And that’s when Barbara gave me Irma.Irma Grebzde was born in Latvia in
1912. University educated as an agricul-tural engineer, in 1935 she veered from that path to become perhaps the very first professional woman journalist in that country.
Over the years I’ve had nuggets of her work translated to English. In one bio-graphical piece she described her first day at work, walking into the newsroom to see all the men employed there had pushed their desks to the outer walls, leaving her workspace isolated in the centre of the office.
I can hear the silence of the Underwoods as she took her seat, and I like to imagine she gazed calmly around and instructed
the closest misog-ynist to get her a coffee.
In another article she wrote about watching her friends being herd-ed onto trains.
Irma was there for that. She saw it and she reported it and she was one of those tremendously
brave journalists who risked their lives trying to inform their own communities and the rest of the world what was hap-pening in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the war.
Irma fled Latvia with the Russian army at her heels. You know a country is a hot spot when your idea of safe haven is Nazi Germany during the Battle of Berlin. She lived there for four years and it’s where she published her first book, a collection of children’s stories I imagine she wrote first for Dace.
In 1948 Irma and Dace escaped Germany for a home in Canada, leaving grandpa somewhere in the rubble. Once here she established herself as a dominant figure in Latvian culture both in the west and in the Baltics. She penned dozens of books, fiction and non-fiction, and hun-dreds of newspaper and magazine articles, many of them about women’s rights, pro-tecting children and challenging injustice. She wrote a weekly column for a Latvian newspaper in Toronto until her death. Her
last submission, I believe, was published posthumously.
When I found Irma I was already formed; a mom, something of an obnox-ious feminist according to friends, and a journalist whose passion was exposing the abuse of women and children, and vulnerable people. I’d had my own weekly newspaper column for 11 years.
It’s comforting to think that as a person you are not just so much paint thrown at a wall, to think perhaps there is an artist at work as well.
I attempted to reach out to Irma, after speaking several times on the phone with caregivers at the Latvian retirement home where she spent her final days, living as always with her forever child. I explained to them I’d recently learned Irma and I had family in common.
I wrote her a letter. Dear Irma, I hope it’s okay to write to you.
Two days after I mailed it Irma died. The envelope was returned via Canada Post, unopened, and covered in black cray-on scribbles. Of course that was my mom.
It saddened me because I wanted Irma to know the child whose conception and creation must have caused her so much grief did okay. I wanted her to know I was in the world taking baby steps on a trail she blazed. I wanted to say thank you.
Eventually I concluded I didn’t need to tell Irma anything.
If life works the way I think it does,
and I guess I’ve just explained why I know it must, Irma knows.
Dear Irma, I hope it’s okay to write to you

Art Martenslivingsignificantly.caThe two high spir-
ited hounds were in the box of Travis Barck’s pickup truck, parked on the former tailings pond that lies alongside Hedley’s 20 Mile Creek. Linda and I saw them immedi-ately when we turned a corner and entered the spacious open area. Howling, wag-ging their tails, bound-ing around excited-ly in the box, they demanded to be let out so they could run.
Travis was exercising immense patience as he attempted to calm one of the dogs long enough to put on a leash.
Linda and I observed for a few minutes, particular-ly intrigued by this scene because we were familiar with the events that predated it. It’s a story that pos-sibly only those who regularly walk the trail along 20 Mile creek are aware of.
Zak, a rescue dog, is new to the family.
Travis and his partner Angelique had picked him up in Kelowna this past May. Not long after bringing him home, Angelique brought both dogs to this field. Confident a solid bond had already developed between her and Zak, she let him and Rocky off the leash. “They ran with complete abandon, burning off a lot of energy,” she said later. “When it was time to go, Rocky came but Zak stayed out of my reach.”
For Angelique and Travis, this initi-ated a two week les-son in patience, per-severance, and acts of thoughtfulness toward a frightened dog. Having been abused, he was unable to trust any human.
It’s a wilderness area , at times fre-quented by coyotes, bears and occasion-ally a cougar. They returned to the field each day and usually saw Zak. Sometimes they sat quietly for hours, wanting him to be comfortable with their presence. It encouraged them that he stayed in the
area and played with Rocky. They prepared a comfortable bed for him with a jacket and a blanket in a covered shelter. Each day he ate the food they left.
In response to calls from several individu-als who spotted Zak on walks along the creek, Angelique and Travis began posting messages on trees. They reported on any progress in win-ning his confidence, and also asked people not to try to get close to him. They didn’t want Zak to become anxious and leave the area.
To tempt Zak, they purchased a supply of pepperoni at Doug’s Homestead. Leaving the field the next day, Angelique began breaking off small chunks of the sausage
and scattering them on the trail behind her. She fervently hoped Zak would accept the bait and follow. He found the pepperoni irresistible and ate each piece. When they emerged from the treed area and came to within about 100 meters of her home, Angelique thought victory might be at hand. However, finding himself on pavement and in the midst of houses, he grew uneasy and turned around. The open field, in spite of its dangers, appar-ently felt safer than civilization. Less reso-lute individuals might have despaired, but Travis and Angelique were committed.
They continued the daily visits and Zak slowly became accus-
tomed to their regular presence. He began drawing closer, trust-ing them a little more each day. One evening Angelique was able to put a leash on him and he accompanied her willingly.
“He became anx-ious when we left the treed area behind and entered the town,” she said. “I picked him up and skirted around the far side of the buildings, close to the base of the mountain.
He accepted this and we arrived at home with no incidents.”
Surrounded by towering green moun-tains, we observed Travis now as he slipped the leash around Rocky’s neck. It surprised us when he said, “Things have changed a lot. Zak has become eager to please. When we call him, he responds. It’s Rocky who needs the leash now.”

The Princeton Posse rode through a one-point weekend dropping an overtime decision to Creston Valley Thunder Cats Friday night at home in front of a packed house, and losing 6-4 Sunday on the road to Chase Heat.
The Posse struggled with two issues Sunday that worked togeth-er to bring them down; needless penalties and sloppy penalty kills. Chase was four-for-four on the power play – a replay of the first time the Posse met the Heat this season and Princeton gave up its all three goals while shorthanded.
“Our penalty kill just needs to be better,” said head coach Bill Rotheisler. “I think that’s pretty much all tomorrow’s practice is going to be.”
Sunday the Princeton coach-ing staff struggled with undisci-plined play. “There are certainly penalties that you have to take and there are certain ones that you shouldn’t.”
Rotheisler said he shortened the bench in an attempt to achieve control. “Regardless of a player’s skill and ability you’ve got to treat everyone the same and we were forced to deal with that yes-terday (Sunday).”
Colton St. John was the league-awarded Star of the Game Sunday, with two goals. Destin Robinson and Bradly Palumbo rounded out scoring for the Posse.
Spencer Huff in the Posse net faced 38 shots.
Friday night’s loss was a heart-breaker for the hometown fans, who sat through 52 minutes of scoreless play before the Posse’s Thomas Cankovic pushed the puck past a very hot netminder. Creston responded one minute later and then won the game 45 seconds into overtime.
Stephen Heslop stopped 21 of 23 shots for The Posse.
Rotheisler said despite the weekend’s disappointments the team is primed to ride against the division’s number one club, Osoyoos, on the road Wednesday night.
“We actually played really well but it’s tough because we only got one out of four points. The problems that we have are fixable things so our guys are
actually still in good spirits.”Osoyoos has yet to lose this
season. “They are a really good team,” said Rotheisler. “They’ve got a lot up front but we think we play a more structured game. We are going to be really tough to play against.”
The Posse rides at home again Friday night, at 7 p.m. against Kelowna.
Penalty kills kill Posse hopes in weekend action
Bob MarshConnor Sloan holds his position in front of the net against Chase Heat Sunday.
Bob MashThe Princeton Posse had the lead for one minute in the third period against Creston Friday night when Thomas Cankovic was one of the few players on the ice to notice the puck was not actually underneath the hot Creston goaltender like everybody – including the goaltender – thought.

Janis WrightVermilion Forks Field Naturalists
were blessed with yet another glori-ously sunny day for our field trip on Saturday, Sept. 20th, as Ida Larson led a group of seven on a hike to the KVR trestle that lies between Princeton and Osprey Lake. Members parked off Hwy. 40 and hiked for half an hour up a steep hill until they reached the level trail of the Kettle Valley Railway bed, and then walked 1.5 kilometers to the trestle, which sits over a deep canyon. At this point, the landscape opens up to reveal spectacular vistas of vast bald mountainsides, endless green of the healthy coniferous forest, and colourful, deciduous undergrowth in the canyon itself, with the glistening creek snaking far below. Trains along
this section of the KVR visited Jellicoe, Erris, Jura and Belfort many years ago, and the trestle itself is an incred-ible work of engineering. It has been restored to include high, sturdy sides and bottom planking, to entice hikers and cyclists with acrophobia. A tunnel lies another 10 kilometres from this point, a destination we may reach on a subsequent outing!
Our next field trip will be Saturday, October 4th, when Blaine Marsel will lead us to the Keremeos columns. Confirm with Blaine at 295-3404 and meet at Billy’s at 9 am. Our next meet-ing will be held Tuesday, October 14th, 7 pm at Riverside Centre, when John Henry and Mary Masiel will give a presentation on Cathedral Lakes. All are welcome.

TO LEARNWHAT’S
ON SALE?
CAPRICORN: Capricorn, once you have gained enough confidence in a special interest, you may be able to turn it into a career instead of just a hobby. Keep working toward that goal.AQUARIUS: It’s time to tie up some loose ends, Aquarius. Rustle up some energy to take care of all those little things that need to be wrapped up. You’ll feel a weight lift afterward.PISCES: Pisces, increase your level of activity this week. Exercise can do you a world of good, especially if you’ve felt sluggish of late.ARIES: Aries, though you are usually up for a conversation with someone you don’t know, this week you could be in a more conservative mood. You’ll have future chances to chat.TAURUS: You have been on a shopping binge of late, Taurus. If you have unlimited funds, this would not be so problematic. But finances are tight, and you should be more cautious.GEMINI: Gemini, you are often an entertaining and fun person to have around. This is probably why you get so many invitations to parties and other social occasions. Enjoy your fanfare.CANCER: Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They’ll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eye-opening. LEO: Spend some quality time with a romantic partner this week, Leo. He or she can provide more of what you need, such as true affection and companionship, than what’s offered by friends.VIRGO: Virgo, you deserve credit at the office. If you’re patient, some measure of recognition will come your way this week. It’s a start to getting what you need.LIBRA: Few people will accuse you of being uncommunicative, Libra. In fact, you’re usually downright chatty. It’s one of the traits people will admire most in you this week. SCORPIO: Scorpio, a new person comes into your life and your attraction to this person catches you off guard. It’s okay to flirt, but if you’re already attached to someone, leave it at that.SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you’re often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead. You’re content to sit back and simply listen.

With Love From Your Family
seeds has approxi-mately 8,000 calories – about 20 times the caloric reward a bear would get from graz-ing the same weight of wild clover.
•Use bird feed-ers only in the winter when bears are hiber-nating and natural bird food is limited.
•If you feed birds in bear season, consider the following steps to minimize your contri-bution to human-bear conflicts:
Take bird feeders in at night
Keep the ground underneath the feeders clean and free of bird seed
Fill your feeders regularly with just a small amount of feed - this will decrease the reward a bear would receive if it does get to your feeder
•The key to a healthy compost is ensuring equal amounts of brown and green materials.
•Layer your greens, such as kitchen scraps and fresh grass clip-pings with no more than 10 cm of browns, such as dried leaves, grasses, shredded newspaper and card-board.
•Do not add fish, meat, fat, oils, un-rinsed eggshells or any cooked food.
•Add oxygen by turning regularly.
•Avoid overloading the compost in fruit season - freeze material and add gradually.
•Avoid adding cere-als or grains.
•Feed pets indoors.•If pets are fed out-
side, ensure all food is cleaned up.
•Store pet food in a
secure location or in a bear-resistant bin.
•Clean barbeques after use by burning off the grill entirely.
• Remove and clean the grease trap after every use.
• Cover and/or store indoors (do not take propane tank indoors).
Even more ways to prevent bears from gaining access to human food
•Protect beehives with electric fencing.
•Store freezers indoors if possible. If left outside, clean out-side of freezer after every use to remove food residue.
•Food smokers and the preparation and curing of wild meat can be an attractant – consider using electric fencing.
•Store petroleum products in a secure enclosure.
•Never leave a cooler outside unless it has been thoroughly cleaned.
People who work in the wilderness and rural areas of BC need to understand what animals they are likely to come across and what precautions need to be taken to ensure that these encounters are safe for both the worker and the wild-life.
Understand the probability of encoun-ter for both the area and for the time you will be working in an area. If possible, time your work in the area to minimize the possi-bility of an encounter: e.g. if you need to take soil samples in a berry patch that is known
to have a large popu-lation of bears try to sample the area before or after the berry crop, or if you need to be there when berries are in season try to be in the area during the heat of the day and when bears will more likely to be sleeping in a cooler area.
Take training such as offered in the DVD “Staying Safe in Bear Country.” This is an excellent video and covers everything you need to know about bear safety. It is the best 30 minutes you will spend in terms of your education about bears.
Carry Bear Spray with you. Remember to
Have taken training it its proper use
Check the expiry date and have a cur-rent can
Transport it prop-erly (appropriate con-tainer, in the box of truck, trunk, or back of your vehicle under a blanket)
Carry it with you in a quick release holster in easy reach (never tucked under a rain jacket or in the back of your pack)
The best bear encounter is the one you avoid so always be vigilant when in the bush. Watch for bear sign (scat, tracks, signs of grazing, overturned
logs, claw marks on trees, etc.).
Bear scat varies in size, consistency and content depend-ing upon the season. Typically high in plant content, the bear scat will become loose and runny the more the bear feeds on berries.
Bear tracks will show all five toes and claw marks about an inch or so above the toe pads.
Overturned logs and stumps torn apart should be checked for signs of freshness.
Talk or sing while working to let the bears know you are in the area. The sound from bear bells do not carry as far nor are as distinct as the sound of human voices.
Be especially vigi-lant if you are work-ing alongside running water, in thick bush or if there is a strong wind blowing – in these circumstances a bear is less likely to hear you and a chance for a surprise encoun-ter is greater.
Pack out whatever you pack in: do not leave any organics behind – even though that apple core will rot and decompose, it could also be eaten by
a bear that would then associate the smell of humans with a food reward.
It is best not to work alone in bear country. Just the fact that there are two of you in the area should help pre-vent a bear encounter.
If you do have a bear encounter remem-ber these safety basics:
Assess what type of encounter it is – defen-sive or predatory
A defensive encoun-ter will usually be marked by a lot of noise by the bear and a head on rush at you.
Hold your ground and pull out your bear spray and release the safety
Speak to the bear in a loud low voice “Whoa bear – you’d better back off”
If the bear continues its charge and closes to within 5-10 meters deploy your bear spray
in a short burst, aim-ing from the ground up to create a wall between you and the bear. When the bear retreats, head back to your vehicle and con-tact the Conservation Officer Reporting line as soon as possible. Alert others in the area to the presence of the bear.
If the bear breaks off its charge before you have to deploy your spray – take a step or two back away from
the bear. Continue to speak in a low voice. Do not make direct eye contact with the bear.
Keep your bear spray at the ready. Once the bear knows you are not a threat it should leave or return to what it was protect-ing. C
ontinue to back away and keep an eye on the bear. Return to your vehicle and alert the authorities and your co-workers as to the presence of the bear.
