vation officers were back in Windermere tracking down a large tom (adult male) that had killed a deer by the Shadybrook Campground, located next to Tretheway Beach. Tracked to just south of Indian Beach Estates where it was treed, it was also destroyed. All four cats were roughly two to three years old, weighing approximately 80 to 120 pounds, and posed no imminent threat to people. “These were all hard decisions for us,” said Kruger. “In all these cases, the cougars are pursuing and killing what they’re supposed to, their natural prey; it’s just where they’re doing it. We have to weigh that.” It comes down to public safety, he said. “Typically, if they get comfortable in our communities, it’s just a matter of time because they are opportunistic for prey.” The public is asked to report any cougar sightings by calling the RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) line at 1-877-952-7277. “Through reports, we can establish a pattern and track these animals,” said Kruger. “If they’re just passing through, that’s more normal behaviour, and not a big issue.” Provincial statistics show a high percentage of cougar attacks are on small children, so he warns parents to supervise their kids’ play in forested areas and green belts. Groups of people are a deterrent, and domestic animals should also be supervised and brought in at night as cougars are most active from dusk to dawn. In the Canmore area on Monday, two cougars were put down after killing and attacking two dogs. “Definitely this is the most cougar activity within the communities that I’ve seen (in the three years) since I’ve been here,” said Kruger. “There is no doubt the high number of natural prey, the ungulates, the deer and the sheep that are taking up residence in our communities, are a piece of it.”

A rare gem valued at $500,000 was stolen from a storefront window in Gastown.
Canadian gemstone stolen in Vancouver heist C ANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — In Canadian terms, this could rank right up there with the Hope Diamond, and police in Vancouver want to find it. They’re looking for a rare gemstone stolen early last Friday morning in a robbery in the city’s Gastown district. The front window of Rocks and Gems Canada was smashed Dec. 20 and police say the crook made off with a nearly 28 centimetre-long piece of ammolite. The opal-like gem, worth $500,000, is formed from the fossilized shells of extinct marine mollusks known as ammonites, and contains the same minerals that make pearls. Ammolite, Alberta’s official gemstone, is also ranked as a Canadian national treasure, meaning the federal government must approve an application to take it out of the country. Police want to hear from anyone who may have information about the theft or know where the gem can be found.
Police save Christmas after thieves steal Regina family’s presents C ANADIAN PRESS
REGINA — Police in Regina saved the day for a family whose presents were stolen in a break-in. Thieves broke into the home of a family with three children last week, taking all the family’s Christmas presents and a little girl’s piggy bank to boot. Police were called and one of the men in blue, Const. Brandon Boon, saw what happened and decided to do something. So he passed the hat among his colleagues, and pulled together $415 in cash, a snow globe, and more than eight kilograms of chocolate. The Regina Police Association, the officers’ union, donated some children’s toys as well. On Saturday, the officers presented the gifts to the family. Police spokesman Les Parker says it’s just one of many good deeds officers have done over the year. “I spoke to just two of our members and they gave me a huge list of anecdotes of the type of stuff that happens at Christmas, and year ‘round,’’ he said. Parker listed off just a few including giving gift baskets to senior citizens, adopting families locally and internationally and manning the Salvation Army’s kettles. He said sometimes officers will buy a pair of shoes for someone they see who doesn’t have any, or a coffee card for someone in need. “They do see a lot of rough things, especially at the colder times. It helps make them feel better to do a little good.’’
