Wolf cull opposed by Ktunaxa, Wolf Centre Helicopter hunt a ‘narrow and short term approach’ says Ktunaxa Nation; ‘morally indefensible’ says Northern Lights Wolf Centre C A R O LYN G R A N T

Opposition to the provincial announcement of a wolf hunt conducted by helicopter to reduce numbers in order to protect the endangered mountain caribou population in the Selkirk mountain region has been

swift to arrive.

The Ktunaxa Nations says it is deeply concerned about the plan.

“We are worried that this approach to conservation is extremely hasty,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair. “We are

deeply concerned about the very low numbers of caribou in the south Selkirk, but we believe that management efforts should focus on increasing the population of caribou. Wolves are not the primary cause of the caribou population decline

in the region and killing wolves at this scale will have to continue for many years to effectively reduce the risk of wolf predation. Killing one species of animal to benefit another species is contrary to Ktunaxa stewardship values.”

Teneese says the caribou may be better served by a multi-faceted approach which includes restriction of access to and restoration of key caribou habitat, decreasing vehicle mortality and establishing breeding programs, including mater-

nal penning. ““This approach requires cooperation and commitment from all partners in Ktunaxa territory. We support monitoring of predation impacts, however, we strongly feel that these actions are a narrow and short term approach.

“Recovery planning and long term management of these caribou requires strong commitment to collaboration and adaptive co-management of the herd.”

Council looks into the deep well A R N E P E T RYS H E N

City council authorized the City’s Public Works department to complete rehabilitation work on Cranbrook’s three deep groundwater wells at the Jan. 14 budget meeting.

The move allows city staff to allocate $70,000 from the Water Fund Accumulation Surplus to complete post-rehabilitation testing on the three deep wells. Part of the funds will also be used to undertake Environmental Assessment Certificate Amendment which will allow the deep wells to be used more frequently. The wells could only be used under specific circumstances which lead to them not being used and requiring the rehabilitation.

SD5 board concerned about MBSS crosswalk Tr e vo r C r awl ey

A couple times a day, traffic gets a little haphazard around Mount Baker Secondary School as students stream into the building while crossing the street from the Safeway parking lot.

With student safety in mind, the Southeast Kootenay Board of Education (SD5) is writing a letter to the City of Cranbrook to request a flashing pedestrian light, similar to the one at the intersection of Victoria Ave. and 4th St. “We’re concerned about student safety, that’s our main concern,” said Frank Lento, the SD5 board chairperson. “We need a joint partnership in getting that matter resolved.”

After many years of safety concerns, a crosswalk with raised flashing lights was installed at the Victoria Ave intersection in an effort to cut down on pedestrian accidents.

In order for the SD5

Board to move forward, there will have to be joint meetings with the city to explore what options are available. At the last board meeting on Jan. 13, trustees were nominated to serve on various municipal committees.

“We haven’t had a joint meeting with them [the city]. That could be a step — they have various committees that they’ve just requested representation and we’ve nominated some trustees to various committees,” said Lento. “…So we’re just waiting to see what the response would be. It’s a concern for us. We know our secondary students, but nevertheless, if there were flashing lights, at least it’s a step in the right direction. It would help.”

Once the SD5 trustees can meet with their municipal counterparts, that’s when the real discussions can begin on how to address

traffic safety at the Mount Baker crosswalk.

“Those Cranbrook trustees would be taking that matter ahead and if we can get to a meeting to see what it’s going to cost,” continued Lento. “I know it’s bottom-line all the time.

What’s the cost? What’s it going to cost? But lets see what it’s going to be.”

At the same SD5 meeting, the board also passed a motion to approve an increase in International Student Fees to $21,850.

Lento said the increase was pretty minimal and in line with what other school districts across the province have done.

“We review those annually and it’s not that significant, it’s just a few hundred bucks. It’s just to be consistent with other districts our size,” said Lento.

“We want to ensure that we’re not subsidizing international stu-

In this regard, their fees, they make a contribution to our schools and to our students.”

A deep subject: Council okays rehab for wells Continued from page 1 Charlotte Osborne, Finance and Computer Services Officer, said that they are two separate tasks, but both needed to be done or the city would face the same problem a few years down the road.

In the accompanying report staff noted that Cranbrook’s water supply come from the Joseph Creek and Gold Creek Watersheds, both of which feed into Phillips Reservoir. A single 760 mm diameter water main several kilometres long connects the reservoir to the city’s distribution system. So if something were to happen to the surface water, or should the main break, then the city will be reliant on the deep groundwater wells, which is why they are needed.

The three deep wells were built in 2001 and are quite deep at over 90 metres each.

Joe McGowan, Director of Public Works, said the existing envi-

ronmental assessment certificate which governs operations of the wells prohibits the city from operating the wells in the absence of a significant problem with one of the public surface water sources.

“The permit has specific statements in it as to the nature of any problem that would exist — in the absence of those problems existing, the city is unable to operate the wells,” McGowan said. “So what we’re looking for is the opportunity to amend the permit.”

Mayor Lee Pratt noted that to his under-

standing it was the lack of use that caused the wells to fail.

“Does the amended permit allow us to use them on a regular basis to prevent that from happening?”

Pratt asked.

McGowan noted that it would.

Pratt also noted that the process of doing all the work first was a bit like putting the cart before the horse.

“You have to do all this work and then hope you get the permit,” Pratt said.

McGowan said it is a provincial matter that puts the work before the permit.

“The province needs specific information in order to approve the permit - it’s not unlike building a car and then making application for licence. You build the car, present it for inspection and someone can say nope.”

McGowan said the likelihood of that happening is low because they have gathered sufficient information to prove the nature of the original permit counterproductive.

The $70,000 comes from the Water Fund Accumulated Surplus which was $1,388,344 as of Dec. 31, 2014.

Wolf cull opposed by Ktunaxa, Wolf Centre Continued from page 1 Further doubts about the wolf cull come from the Northern Lights Wolf Centre, headquartered in Golden. Director Sophie Parr says that not only is the helicopter hunt cruel, the reasoning behind it has no basis in science.

“Whole packs will be chased by helicopters until they are exhausted, and then shot under the guise of recovering dwindling caribou herds in the South Selkirk and South Peace areas,” Parr said. “Caribou are in this situation because of us, not because of wolves. The province has allowed energy and recreation industries to destroy critical caribou habitat, facilitating predation by wolves which would otherwise be less able to access remote caribou herds.

“This choice is scientifically unsound,” Parr continued. “This is not the first time aerial gunning and sterilization of wolves has occurred in BC. All past efforts have failed to increase caribou numbers. Similar efforts to protect caribou in Alberta resulted in almost 1,000 wolves being killed, and research shows that it is not enough to render caribou populations viable in the long-term.

“Wolf populations rebound quickly and dispersing wolves fill in the vacant space created following wolf removal — the killing

must continue on taxpayer dollars for many decades until habitat recovers naturally.

Parr added that most caribou herds live in multi-predator environments that also support bears, mountain lions, wolverines and lynx — focussing on removing a single type of predator will not be effective.

“This is a question of animal welfare,” Parr said. “In recent decades we have learned more about the true nature of wolves as emotional and intelligent beings, and their unique and beneficial impacts on biodiversity. Are we as a society prepared to spend the next thirty or more years gunning down families of wolves? This practice is not an approved method under Canada’s current guidelines on Ap-

The B.C. government has ordered a cull of wolves in order to save threatened caribou herds. proved Animal Care.

“This is an expensive, short-sighted approach to caribou recovery.

Hiring

sharp-shooters and flying them around remote B.C. in helicopters in order to destroy entire wolf packs will take

hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. It is morally indefensible that taxpayers are paying for the government’s

neglect of wildlife.

“Do B.C. residents want their money spent on helicopters, or ecological restoration, edu-

cation, health care, etc.?”

The governments Wolf Management Plan, implemented in April of 2014, allows for measures such as targeted aerial wolf removal in support of caribou protection for circumstances exactly like those occurring in the South Peace and South Selkirk herds, says background information from the Ministry of Environment. While the plan at the time said there were no plans for an aerial cull, it does not rule it out.

“The risk of removing the number of wolves recommended is very low, whereas the risk to pertinent caribou populations of doing nothing is very high.”

The most recent estimates put the number of caribou in the south Selkirk region at 18 in March of 2014.

EKC announces community endowment for Salvation Army Submitted

The Cranbrook Salvation Army’s Soup Kitchen program will be the recipient of a significant and sustainable contribution thanks to a generous gift spanning three years announced by the East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) last week.

EKC has announced it will endow $3,000 per year for three years to the Salvation Army`s fund held with the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation (CDCF). The first contribution was made in October 2014 and the final contribution will be made in October 2016.

“East Kootenay Community Credit Union is committed to community and we are so pleased to contribute this $9,000 gift over three years,” says George Freitag, Chair of ECK’s Board of Directors.

“EKC plays a vital role in our community through not only our financial contributions but also by bringing awareness to important community programs like the Salvation Army’s Soup Kitchen. This is certainly a cause we are proud to support through the sustainable endowment funding model made possible by the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation.”

According to Riley Wilcox, Executive Director with the

CDCF, the East Kootenay Community Credit Union’s fund benefiting the Salvation Army was one of the first funds ever to be endowed with the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation. “East Kootenay Credit Union showed community leadership when they endowed $10,000 in 2004 when the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation was

just getting started. For EKC to add to this endowment 10 years later shows their commitment to the sustainable difference that can be made to charities in partnership with local community foundations.”

“We are extremely pleased with the support that we have received from the East Kootenay Community Credit Union,” said the Salvation

Army’s Captain Kirk Green For EKC to increase the fund which benefits the Salvation Army by a further $9,000 will help us to ensure the needs of Cranbrook residents are addressed through the caring and compassionate services we provide locally. We can’t thank them enough”.

East Kootenay Credit Union is challenging the community to get involved

and they call upon all local financial service providers to meet or exceed their model of investing in sustainable funding for local charities.

Opinion/Events

Do you remember when people from many countries put Canadian flags on their backpacks when traveling? Everyone wanted to be seen as Canadian because being Canadian allowed safe travel all over the world.

Things have changed. Now not even Canadians are necessarily willing to plaster their luggage with the flag like we once did. Canada’s reputation on the world stage has changed significantly and we have Stephen Harper and the Conservative government to thank for that.

Do you know what thought keeps coming to mind these days when I think about this country? I want our Canada back!

Canada used to be recognized for helping to keep the peace. Canadian troops were very good at it, and we were respected around the world for our leadership in bringing people together. Now it seems like we go to war whenever certain nations ask us to.

Not only are we putting our sons and daughters in harms way, we are compounding the problem by treating our returning soldiers very poorly. It is heart-

breaking to see how the Conservative government treats our veterans.

Years ago I made the commitment that I would not complain about an issue unless I was willing to do something about it.

I miss the Canada that I love and cherish, and I am concerned for its future. I know many of you feel the same way, and with the upcoming Federal election, we are going to get the chance to do something about it.

Let’s get our Canada back.

ONGOING

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm: Folklorists non pareil. quote a famous literary historian, “couldn’t have cared less.”)

No one could do this better than the Grimms though, especially Jacob. His ability to read Old German, and to recognize exactly when and were a word’s sound shift had occurred, made him a linguistic genius without peer. There still is a ‘Grimm’s Law’ used today which identifies Germanic words in Indo-European languages. The brothers combined their talents to launch the first phase of their work, the collection of the very oldest and orally passed down folktales.

The tales which come down to us today as ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ do indeed take place in enchanted forests, small cottages, and giant castles. Most of the stories feature nameless characters—a princess, a frog, a king, a stepmother, a witch, etc. It is more than comforting to know that the very first edition of their book begins with “Once upon a time…”.

Yet none of these stories

came from the peasant class; nor did the Grimms travel anywhere to get them. The tales came from the wealthy and educated aristocracy, whom came to the Grimms to tell them the tales. The majority of the sources were highly literate females, who as often as not mixed up French folklore with German. This is why ‘Puss ’n’ Boots’ appears in the first edition of ‘Grimms Fairy Tales,’ but is removed from all future ones.

Also many of the fairy tales come from other books, albeit very old manuscripts.

None of that should take away any of the mystery, wonder and delight generations continue take away from them.

The ageless tales of “Little Red Riding Hood,’ ‘Snow White,’ ‘Hansel and Gretel,’ and ‘Cinderella’ continue to help give meaning to the lives of children and adults alike.

Three Months every Year

verybody knows where the population explosion came from. Two centuries ago birth rates and death rates were high everywhere, and population growth was very slow. Then clean water, good food and antibiotics radically cut the death rate – and the human population of this planet increased 300 percent in the past 90 years.

Eventually, as people moved into the cities and big families were no longer an advantage, the birth rate dropped too. The world’s population is still growing, but it will only increase by 50 percent in the next 90 years. So far, so obvious. But what’s happening to the human lifespan is equally dramatic.

Here’s the key statistic: the average human lifespan in a developed country has been increasing at three months per year ever since the year 1840.

Everybody assumes that lifespan grew much faster in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and is growing much slower now. But no. It has plodded along at the same rate, adding about three months to people’s life spans every year, for the past 175 years. And yes, that does mean that a baby born four years from now can expect to live, on average, a whole year longer than a baby born this year.

There have always been some people who lived to seventy or eighty, but the AVERAGE age at death in 1840 was only forty years. By the year 2000 it was eighty years. That’s forty more years of life per person in 160 years.

AND LIFESPAN IS STILL INCREASING AT THE SAME RATE. In Britain, for example, the average lifespan has increased by eleven more years in the past

forty-four years. Three months per year, just like in the 19th century.

This is why actuaries predict that babies born in the year 2000 will have an average lifespan of one hundred years.

Give those babies the eighty years of life that people who died in 2000 enjoyed, then give them an extra three months for every one of those eighty years – and they will have twenty years more years to live. That is, Gwynne an AVERAGE of a hundred years.

Dyer This sounds so outlandish that you instinctively feel there must be something wrong with it, and maybe there is. The fact that it has gone on like this for 175 years doesn’t necessarily mean that it will go on forever.

But it’s not stopping or even slowing, so the smart money says that it will continue for quite a while yet What about the developing world?

Most of it has been playing catch-up, and by now the gap isn’t very big any more. In China the average lifespan was only forty-two years as recently as 1950 – but then it began increasing by SIX MONTHS per year, so that the average Chinese citizen can now expect to live to seventy-five.

Once you hit an average lifespan of seventy-five years, however, the pace slows down to three months per year, the same as in the developed countries.

India is a little behind China: average lifespan was still forty-two years in 1960, and is now sixty-eight, so it’s still going up at six months per year. But we may expect to see it fall to the normal three months per years in about 2030, after the average Indian lifespan reaches seventy-five.

All the developing countries of Asia, Latin America and the Middle East are in

the same zone. The sole exception is Africa: where 35 countries have average life spans of 63 years or lower. But even most African countries are seeing a slow growth in average lifespan.

So do we end up with a huge population of people so old they can barely hold their heads up, let alone eat solid food?

Probably not.

Three hundred years ago Jonathan Swift wrote about people like that in his satire “Gulliver’s Travels”. Struldbrugs, he called them: people who could not die, but went on ageing until they were so decrepit and disabled that death would have been a mercy.

They were declared legally dead when they reached eighty, as otherwise their longevity would mean they ended up owning everything. But they weren’t really dead; now it was the public that had to support them for the rest of their interminable lives.

In real life, crippling diseases and disabilities are still mainly a phenomenon of the last decade of life, and as the lifespan lengthens that final decade also moves.

Demographers now talk about the “young old”, who are in their 70s and 80s and still in reasonably good shape – and the “old old”, in their 90s and 100s, who are mostly frail and in need of care. So the time is probably coming when people must work until into their 80s, because the over-65s will amount to a third of the population. No society can afford to support so many.

But by then people won’t be decrepit in their 80s. And the only alternative is dying younger.

Tale of two teams Kootenay Ice win in Prince Albert; frustrate in Saskatoon Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Inconsistency continues to plague the Kootenay Ice. After splitting the final two games of a weekend road trip through Saskatchewan, the Ice cling to the second and final wild-card slot in the WHL’s Eastern Conference.

Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill liked what he saw Friday night in a 5-2 victory over the Prince Albert Raiders.

But 24 hours later in a 3-2 loss to the Saskatoon Blades, it was a different story.

“We did a real good job Friday,” McGill said Sunday afternoon. “Saturday, we seemed like a disinterested hockey team.

“The level of consistency from everybody just wasn’t there. Unfortunately, we’re rolling here behind the eight ball. We’re going to have to get moving. Every point matters right now.”

Through 45 games, McGill and the Ice hold a three-point cushion and two games in hand

second period.

After Josh Uhrich knotted the game less than five minutes into the third period, defenceman Nolan Reid followed up 64 seconds later to give the Blades a 2-1 advantage.

Captain Sam Reinhart, who registered two assists in Friday’s win over Prince Albert, pulled the visitors even with less than three minutes remaining in regulation.

While the goal was a big one to provide his club with a shot at overtime, it was also the 287th point of Reinhart’s WHL career, catapulting him past Kootenay Ice alumnus Jarret Stoll to the top of the Kootenay Ice franchise scoring charts. (More to come on Reinhart’s achievement later this week in the Daily Townsman.)

Unfortunately for Reinhart and the Ice, the jubilation was shortlived.

Outnumbered oneon-two in the dying moments of the third period, Blades forward Wyatt Sloboshan skated into the offensive zone

on the Moose Jaw Warriors for the second and final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Friday in Prince Albert, the Ice used a fourgoal outburst in the third period to break a 1-1 tie en route to a 5-2 victory over the Raiders.

Luke Philp opened the scoring in the first period and started the third-period onslaught.

Zak Zborosky scored what stood as the eventual game-winning goal, while Ryan Chynoweth and Jaedon Descheneau piled on to make it 5-1 for the Ice. Import forward Simon Stransky tallied late in the period for the Raiders to round out the scoring.

Raiders goaltender Rylan Parenteau faced a barrage of shots, turning aside 38 of the 43 pucks directed his way by the Ice. At the other end, Wyatt Hoflin was steady in making 28 saves for his 22nd win of the campaign.

Rookie forward River Beattie opened the scoring Saturday in Saskatoon, tallying his third of the season late in the

Zak Zborosky (above) and the Kootenay Ice came home with two of three wins on a Saskatchewan road trip this past week, but dropped a stinger to the Saskatoon Blades Saturday night. before zinging a shot off the post and past Hoflin, giving his team a 3-2 edge with only 11 seconds remaining in regulation.

“You feel like you have the right people on the ice, defencemen in particular,” McGill said.

“It looks like it’s one player coming through the neutral zone. Two defencemen have a total lack of commitment to playing hard against him [Sloboshan] and the guy took advantage of it.

“To me, in that respect, that’s embarrass-

ing.”

McGill yanked Hoflin in favour of the extra attacker for the final 11 seconds, but there wasn’t enough time remaining on the clock as the Ice fell to the Blades for the second time in seven days.

For Blades rookie Brock Hamm, he stopped 26 shots to earn his second win in as many career starts, both coming against the Ice. A week prior, the Ice dropped a 6-4 decision to the Blades at Western Financial Place, marking Hamm’s first-career

WHL start and victory.

The win boosted the Blades to 12-29-2-1, pushing them past the Lethbridge Hurricanes (10-27-3-3) into 21st place in the WHL’s overall standings.

The Kootenay Ice power play continued to struggle on the road this past week, going a combined 0-for-8 in three games through Saskatchewan, after going 0-for-4 on home ice Jan. 9 and 10.

Under better circumstance, a team returns home and has a full week of practice to work on areas such as the power play prior to seeing its next action. That’s not the case for McGill and his squad as the Vancouver Giants visit Cranbrook Tuesday

night, before the Ice travel to Edmonton for a special 11:30 a.m. puck drop Thursday against the Oil Kings.

“It’s a fine line,” McGill said of the quick turnaround. “Our power play has gone south.

Our penalty killing has been very much under average. When that happens, you like to think you could get out on the ice and practice, but with playing 12 games in 23 days, you draw a fine line with rest.”

The Ice are five games into the 12-game stretch McGill referred to, having kicked things off Jan. 9 against the Red Deer Rebels. The heavy schedule wraps up Jan. 31 when the Kelowna Rockets visit Western Financial Place.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: For 10 years, my daughter has been in a relationship with a man from another culture. He is controlling, manipulative, arrogant and patronizing. He was raised with servants, nannies and drivers.

Now my daughter fills those roles.

I limit visits to once a year because he never fails to make snide comments to me when he is sure my daughter cannot hear him. Once, I asked him what his intentions were toward my daughter, and he said never to question his authority.

After a recent visit, my daughter accused me of not being respectful and loving toward her partner. She said I am jealous of their wonderful life. This could not be further from the truth. I feel sorry for her. I don’t know how she endures his daily criticisms and verbal abuse. She constantly sings his praises as a good provider and father to their child. I know she is ashamed that he has refused to marry her, but this is probably cultural. She will always remain his mistress but never be an equal.

When I visit, I am polite and civil and thank him for his hospitality, but I do not express any love toward him, nor will I. But I want to remain in my daughter’s life and see my grandchild. I have kept quiet for years because I know it is my daughter’s choice, but I will not pretend. My grandma always said, “If you can’t say anything good about someone, don’t say anything at all.” Well, saying nothing does not seem to be working.

-- Concerned Mother Dear Concerned: One of the hardest things for a parent is to watch your child make a huge mistake and not be able to do anything about it. Your daughter is unwilling to leave this relationship. You cannot be expected to show love toward this man.

Being polite and civil and thanking him for his hospitality is more than enough. Be careful, however, not to let your disdain show through. Simply tell your daughter sweetly that you are trying your best and you are glad she is happy.

Dear Annie: I read with great interest your column about the PNC Christmas Price Index for “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

However, no matter how I did the math, I couldn’t come close to your grand total figure of $116,273.06. This takes into account that I didn’t know what the exact shipping total was. How did you do the math? -- DSH Dear DSH: We received several letters from folks who were confused by the math, so we will explain it, even at this late date.

First of all, the total should be $116.273.08.

That last number was a typo on our end.

But simply put, the gifts are cumulative. On the first day, she received one partridge in a pear tree. And the second day, she received two turtledoves and another partridge in a pear tree. The third day, she received three French hens, another two turtledoves and a third partridge, and so on. Done cumulatively, there are 364 gifts, and the total cost is $116,273.08. At that point, we’d say the shipping is irrelevant. Here’s the last word on the subject: Dear Annie: I just want to say thanks for your Christmas column. I did not know that it is possible to purchase lords a-leaping. I really wouldn’t know what to do with them, and at that price, I couldn’t afford them anyway. But I truly did LOL when I read it, and for that, I thank you. (P.S. I always buy my swans locally. The prices are much better.)

-- S. Dear S.: Thanks for letting us know you enjoyed the column. We appreciate your lighthearted response.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.
