Distraught man causes highway closure CHAD ST. PIERRE PHOTO

Just after 3:45 a.m. Sunday morning, the Kimberley RCMP responded to a report of a distraught man in the 8700 block of Highway 95A. Further information learned by police was that the man may have access to firearms.Additional officers were called in, including a negotiator to assist in setting up a safety perimeter, which included the closure of highway 95A for several hours. At 2:50 p.m Sunday, the man surrendered to police without incident. He was taken into custody and transported to hospital for medical treatment.

Late last week, the provincial Minister of Environment deemed that the Jumbo Glacier Resort Environmental Certificate has expired. Minister Polak determined that the project has not been substantially started, a requirement of the Environmental Assessment Act. In making her decision, the minister focused on the physical activities that had taken place at the project site. In this case, the minister determined that the physical activities undertaken on the various components did not meet the threshold of a substantially started project.

This, says Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, is a

huge victory for the people of the Columbia Valley.

“I’m very, very pleased and relieved,” Macdonald said. “Minister Polak insisted all along that she would make this decision in a fair manner and she’s done that.”

But what has to happen next, Macdonald says, is the immediate dissolution of the Jumbo Resort Municipality.

“The creation of the Jumbo Resort Municipality was always a tremendous waste of public resources. It should be dissolved immediately. It was always an abomination to the real democratic process.”

Sweetheart, Princess crowned in Cranbrook B a r ry Co u lt e r

Cranbrook marked its 50th Sam Steele Sweetheart pageant in style on Friday, June 19, at the Key City Theatre.

More than 140 of 400-plus Sweetheart candidates who went through the program over the years returned to Cranbrook for Sam Steele Days, celebrating “50 Years of Heart,” the theme of this year’s festival.

Friday night’s pageant, hosted by Christy Pick and Jason Wheeldon, opened with a video montage featuring pictures of all the candidates over the years and words of reflection from many of the participants. Common threads in the montage were the positive effect going through the program had, and expressions of gratitude for Karin Penner, who launched the program 50 years ago.

Wheeldon and Pick

introduced the selection panel: Jane Kennelly Coates, Jo Sommerfeld, Paula Kutzner, auditor Rob Norum and Judge Chair Robyn Graham.

Wheeldon noted that by Friday evening, 60 per cent of each candidates mark had already been decided, based on a 15-minute private interview with the selection panel, each candidate’s knowledge of the community, and an afternoon tea to see how everyone interacts with each other.

The five Sweetheart candidates were introduced, and spoke a few words in recognition of the sponsor group: Daneri Ensign (Sunrise Rotary), Sarah Ferguson (Cranbrook Society for Community Living), Caylee Lazar (Cristoforo Colombo Lodge), Kelsey Ackert (Lions Club of Cranbrook) and Katie Grady (Kin

In loving memory of

Arthur Roy Glennon October 10, 1934 - June 21, 2009

The world’s weary trouble and trials are past.

In silence you suffered, in patience you bore, Till God called you home to suffer no more.

Love, your family.

Club of Cranbrook).

The speech and talent segment followed.

Sarah Ferguson spoke on stereotypes — in particular those attributed to redheads.

Her talent was a modern dance performance. Daneri Ensign speech about her cousins with autism, and the effect and lessons thereof. Ensign’s performance was also a dance number. Kelsey Ackert’s speech was “It’s a Kelsey Thing,” about how clumsiness was a part of her life.

Her talent selection was a clowning performance. Caylee Lazar’s speech, “Odd Man Out,” was about the tribulations of growing up in a family with five siblings. She performed an original song “Old Habits Die Hard.” Katie Grady paid tribute to her grandfather Roy Barnett in her speech, and spoke about her career as ski racer and coach for the talent section.

After each candidate modelled her Sam Steele gown, Jason Wheeldon asked each the same impromptu question: “This year we celebrate the 50th year of the Sam Steele Sweetheart tradition.

Tell us about one of your favourite traditions.”

After intermission, the visiting royalty, in town for Sam Steele Days, was introduced.

2014/15 Princess and Sweetheart Kendall Bostok and and Devon Kennedy gave a farewell speech, and then awards were presented.

Kelsey Ackert was presented with People’s Choice Award (by Christy Pick), Toastmaster Public Speaking Award (by Kathy Simon) and Community Awareness Award (Christy Pick). Outgoing Sam Steele Princess presented Caylee Lazar with the Talent Award.

Sarah Ferguson was named Princess of Sam Steele and received the crown from outgoing Princess Kendall Bostock. Kelsey Ackert was named Sam Steele Sweetheart, receiving the crown from Devon Kennedy. The two youth ambassadors will represent Cranbrook over the year ahead.

Local NEWS

Jumbo must start process all over From Page 1 The Jumbo Resort Municipality’s creation was announced by then Minister of Community Bill Bennett (MLA Kootenay East and current Minister of Energy) in November of 2012. A mayor and Council were appointed. It came under fire immediately as a municipality with no residents.

“Not surprisingly, I am disappointed,” Jumbo Glacier Resort Mayor Greg Deck told the Invermere Valley Echo. “I would presume that the proponent will be meeting with the province to understand more fully the rational and the options, but I am not party to that process.”

Deck said if negotiations between Jumbo Glacier Ltd and the province cease, the $1 million that has been allocated to his council over a five-year term will likely be reallocated elsewhere.

“We exist to provide a municipal underpinning to the agreement between the province and Jumbo Glacier Resort, and if those necessary agreements are not in place, then our funding will be in question,” Deck said.

Though the proposed project is in an adjacent riding, Bill Bennett, the Liberal MLA for Kootenay East, said that he accepts the decision but hopes that the region doesn’t lose the project.

“There will be less and less snow at low elevations from now on and JGR would be the only high elevation ski resort in B.C,” said Bennett. “At the end of April, there was over a metre of snow on the valley floor. What other Kootenay resort can say that?

It is up the proponent to decide if it is worth starting over.”

The other thing that needs to happen right away, according to Macdonald, is that the work that was started to show a substantial start needs to be removed.

“When the proponent began to lay concrete slabs, the point we made was, is the government sure the proponent has the capacity to remove the mess they made? So now the Ministry needs to insist that happens so the valley can be returned to the state it was in.”

Macdonald has been involved in the Jumbo proposal since he was Mayor of Golden in 1993, and certainly in a very large way since he ran for MLA in 2004.

“My perspective has always been that communities have a right to have significant say on what happens on the Crown land around them. In Golden, we had a referendum be-

fore Kicking Horse was developed and it indicated tremendous support. In the Columbia Valley, that support was never there.

“Then there was the very clear First Nations interest. They were very clear on the importance of that area to them.

“It’s a huge victory for the people of this area. I have to think this is the end of it and we can move on.”

“We are overjoyed with the province’s decision,” said Robyn Duncan of Wildsight.

“This is the only reasonable outcome for this beleaguered project.”

Joe Foy, national campaign director with the Wilderness Committee, said the deci-

sion was good news.

“We knew this project was already on thin ice,” Foy said. “The BC government must now take steps to ensure that the Jumbo Pass area is granted protected area status, so this ill-conceived resort proposal never comes back again to endanger the region’s grizzly bears and other wildlife.”

Jumbo Glacier Resort is a proposed yearround ski resort development in Jumbo Valley, 55 kilometres west of Invermere.

An EAC was issued in Oct. 2004 and as part of an extension issued in 2009, the expiry date was set for Oct. 12, 2014.

The Walking Dead

Sixth Great Mass Extinction Event “There are examples of species all over the world that are essentially the walking dead,” said Stanford University professor Paul Ehrlich. “We are sawing off the limb that we are sitting on.”

He was talking about the Sixth Extinction, the huge loss of species that is underway right now. It has been discussed in public before, of course, but what Ehrlich and other scientists from Stanford, Princeton and Berkeley universities have done is to document it statistically.

In a study published this month in Science Advances, they report that vertebrates (animals with internal skeletons made of bone or cartilage – mammals, birds, reptiles and fish) are going extinct at a rate 114 times faster than normal. In a separate study last year, Professor Stuart Pimm of Duke University estimated that the loss rate may be as high as a thousand a year – and includes plants as well as animals.

Animals and plants are always going extinct, usually to be replaced by rival species that exploit the same ecological niche more efficiently. But the normal turnover rate is quite slow, according to the fossil record: about one species of vertebrate per 10,000 species goes extinct each century.

Ehrlich and his colleagues assumed that the normal rate is twice as high as that – and still concluded that the current extinction rate is 114 times higher.

“We are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event,” said Gerardo Ceballos of the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico, lead author of the research. “If it is allowed to continue, life would take many millions of years to recover and our species itself would likely disappear early on.” Indeed, renowned Harvard biologist E.O.

Wilson has estimated that at the current rate of loss, half of Earth’s higher lifeforms will be extinct by 2100.

The previous five mass extinctions, all during the past half-billion years, each wiped out at least half of the existing species of life. Four of them were probably caused by drastic warming of the planet due to massive, millennia-long volcanic eruptions.

The warming eventually made the deep oceans oxygen-free, allowing sulfur bacteria to emerge from the muds. As they took over the oceans, they killed off all the oxygen-based life – and when they finally reached the surface, they emitted vast Gwynne quantities of hydrogen sulfide gas that destroyed the Dyer ozone layer and directly poisoned most land-based life as well.

The fifth and most recent mass extinction, at the end of the Cretaceous era 65 million years ago, was different. It was caused by a giant asteroid that threw so much dust up when it hit Earth that the Sun was effectively hidden for years. First the plants died, and then the animals. But the cause of the sixth extinction is a single species: us.

It’s fair to say that we are the victims of our own success, but so is the entire biosphere. There were one billion of us in 1800. We are now seven and a half billion, on our way to ten or eleven billion. We have appropriated the most biologically productive 40 percent of the planet’s land surface for our cities, farms and pastures, and there’s not much room left for the other species.

They have been crowded out, hunted out, or poisoned by our chemical wastes.

Their habitats have been destroyed. Even

the oceans are being devastated as one commercial fish species after another is fished out. And still our population continues to grow, and our appetite for meat causes more land to be cleared to grow grain not for people, but for livestock.

All this even before global warming really gets underway and starts to take huge bites out of the ecosphere. We are on the Highway to Hell, and it’s hard to see how we get off it.

In a way, climate change is the easiest part of the problem to fix, because all we have to do is stop burning fossil fuels and reform the way we farm to cut carbon dioxide emissions. More easily said than done, as the history of the past thirty years amply demonstrates, but certainly not impossible if we take the task seriously.

Maintaining the diversity of species (some of which we haven’t even identified yet) that provide essential “ecosystem services” is going to be far harder, because the web of interdependence among apparently unrelated species is very complex. At the very least, however, it is clear that we must restore around a quarter of our agricultural land to its original “wild” state and cut back drastically on fishing.

It’s far from clear that we can do that in time and still go on feeding all of the human population, but the alternative is worse.

James Lovelock put it very bluntly in his book “The Revenge of Gaia.”

“If we continue business as usual, our species may never again enjoy the lush and verdant world we had only a hundred years ago,” he wrote. “What is most in danger is civilisation; humans are tough enough for breeding pairs to survive....but if these huge changes do occur it seems likely that few of the teeming billions now alive will survive.”

Revelation on the road to Lakit “... and you will be told what to do.”

Biblical account of Saul’s conversion.

It is not exactly the Road to Damascus and I didn’t think that I’d had any previous revelations or any conversions upon its rugged surface, but the road up to Lakit Lookout has frequently given me food for thought. It certainly did with Mia and The Odd Couple.

Mia and I met the woman first; she was hobbling down the road in the most inappropriate shoes.

She wasn’t even dressed for a hike and so, because we hadn’t passed another vehicle as we drove up from the Wildhorse, we stopped and asked if we might help.

Well, to tell the truth, Mia, my passenger asked if we might be of service but I don’t think the hiker understood. There were language problems.

I was attempting to take my cousin’s daughter, Mia, up into the Rockies for a quick trip and I had been having trouble understanding the girl. She had a Cockney accent that would have guaranteed her the role as Eliza Doolittle in the musical My Fair Lady. She looked the part too; petite, wiry and with a shock of red dyed hair. I’d thought she looked about sixteen when I met her off the plane but, as she was soon to show me, she was a lot older, and wiser.

She negotiated with the lady in the inappropriate clothing who, it seemed, came from somewhere in the Deep South. I could barely make out what either of the two women was saying; I would have loved to have a tape of that conversation — and possibly a transliteration.

Apparently, the lady had had a small disagreement with her husband who was stuck in their camper way back up the road and couldn’t turn the thing around.

I recognized the problem immediately. I’ve been there several times almost Peter unable to turn around I’d found the road Warland when blocked by snow. But this was July sometime.

Mia hopped into the back of my truck and the lady climbed awkwardly in beside me. “Why are we going on up this road?” I think she said. “Why don’t we go on down for help?” She didn’t actually say, “You all.”

That day that we encountered the Odd Couple has a dream-like quality to it. I probably had a head cold or Mia’s prattle was making my brain shut down ‘Clang!’

When we got to the vehicle, all reason told me that I should stuff the two Southerners into my pick-up and haul them down to where they might organize a rescue for that ‘bus’. I certainly wasn’t going to get past it, but diminutive Mia, bursting with wit and vigour was out there organiz-

ing. She was bossing the man about, getting him ready to rescue himself, and the ‘Mrs’ soon joined in; I have never seen a man so henpecked.

Firstly, Mia ascertained from me that there might possibly be a wider spot up the road where one might turn something akin to a Greyhound Bus around, and so off they went upward. I followed bemused.

Mia apparently selected the spot where the turn-around might actually happen; I had my doubts, but didn’t interfere. As far as I knew, the others were ‘speaking in tongues’.

Mia demonstrated agility, patience and ingenuity. The Southerners fretted when the wheels of the rental teetered on the brink of catastrophe, but round they did get.

Then, after a huge amount of almost hysterical laughter, hugs and promises to stay in touch, the Odd Couple drove off towards civilization.

Mia and I did finally get as far as the hut on Lakit that day but it was I that had the revelations. It seems that my Cockney relative was considerably older than I’d believed, that she’d been brought up on a farm where machinery was old hat to her, and that she had a couple of interesting degrees in engineering too. I was humbled.

Again.

Neither one of us ever heard again from the Odd Couple.

Bandits battle Glacier ‘A’ Twins in defeat Cranbrook’s Montana State ‘B’ champs scrap tooth and nail with Montana State ‘A’ champs despite losses

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The outcomes may not have been what they were looking for, but the Cranbrook Bandits proved they can play with the sluggers from the ‘A’ class of American Legion Baseball in Montana.

The Bandits hosted the defending Montana State ‘A’ champion Glacier Twins in a doubleheader at Confederation Park Saturday afternoon, falling 6-1 and 8-4. The pair of losses drops the Bandits to 1110-1 on the season.

“What’s promising is they won state and they went to regionals,” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek Saturday evening. “We hung in there for the most part.

“Everyone has good days and bad days. If we play the game right we can play with anybody.

That’s what I tell the kids.

“Game one, we had one hit and you’re not going to beat anybody when you’ve only got one hit in a game. We saw them swinging better in game two, but we’re still not aggressive enough at the plate.

There are too many guys waiting until two strikes before they take a hack.

We’ve got to clean that up and be more aggressive at the plate and we’ve got to tighten up defensively.”

In the opening game of the doubleheader, left-handed pitcher Tyler Thorn (1-2, 2.63 ERA) took to the bump, throwing 97 pitches and striking out two before being pulled from the game after four innings of work.

“It was a mix of our hitting and defence today,” Thorn said Saturday. “We just didn’t hit the ball enough and we missed some routine plays that need to be made.

“When a pitcher goes up there and he’s pumping strikes and getting routine ground balls and fly balls, to see those routine plays go by a guy, those pitches add up. That hurt the arms today.”

Right-hander Rylan D’Etcheverrey came on in relief for three innings of work, striking out one batter with no earned runs.

Outside of the pitching performances in the opener, there wasn’t much to speak of on the Bandits side of the ballgame.

Catcher Brandon Ouillette (.245/.409/.265) registered the lone hit

and outfielder Connor A r m s t r o n g (.200/.353/.291) tallied the solitary run as the Bandits struggled at the plate.

“This team is a little different than the competition we’ve faced in the past little while -- an ‘A’ team, a state-champion ‘A’ team -- so they’ve got some guys that can throw gas,” Thorn said.

“That was our biggest struggle -- the change from seeing the slower speed to the faster speed.

A lot of us were behind.”

For the Twins, they stacked up two runs in the first inning and efficiently added to their lead as the game wore on, scoring one run in each inning from the second through fifth.

Right-hander Austin Robins claimed the win for the Twins, going six innings strong and striking out 10 batters.

In back half of the doubleheader, the Twins once again got off to a quick start, scoring two runs in the first inning, despite good work from right-hander Brendan Bird (0-2, 5.25 ERA).

Bird lasted 4.1 innings striking out one before giving way to reliever Daniel Mercandelli who finished 2.2 innings with one strikeout as well.

“We pitched well in both games. Thorny came out, he pitched well but didn’t get the

The Twins topped the Bandits twice in doubleheader action at Confederation Park Saturday afternoon. support early,” Mrazek said.

“Birdie threw well.

They came out swinging. They were hitting the ball hard and generated a couple runs, but they weren’t killing us.”

Shortstop Devon Marra kickstarted the Bandits offense in the bottom of the third inning, blasting a solo home run out of Confederation Park to cut the Twins lead to 3-1.

A three-run fifth inning restored the Twins sizeable lead for a short

period, but a run-scoring single by Marra in the bottom of the fifth helped bring the Bandits bats back to life as they tallied three runs to make it a 6-4 ballgame.

At the end of the day, the Twins simply had a little more in the bats than the hosts, as the visitors added another two runs in the top of the seventh inning to seal the win.

Jesse Walburn earned the victory on the mound for the Twins, throwing four in-

nings and striking out six batters.

Despite the results, there was plenty to be learned for the Bandits from Saturday’s contests.

“The only way you get better is by playing a tough crowd,” Thorn said. “If you’re the top dog then there’s no learning curves to get past. If it was easy, we wouldn’t really be taking it as serious.

“Playing an ‘A’ team opened our eyes that we aren’t the best and we have to play the best

game that we can every day. We can’t just assume we’re going to stomp a team.”

Following Saturday’s outings, the Bandits travelled to Polson, Mont., for back-to-back games against the Mission Valley ‘B’ Mariners and Mission Valley ‘A’ Mariners Sunday afternoon. Results were unavailable by print deadline.

Next up, the Bandits travel to Libby, Mont., for tournament action June 25 through 28.

Baltimore Orioles top Toronto Blue Jays in MLB action Dhiren Mahiban Canadian Press

Toronto Blue Jays closer Brett Cecil could have gotten out of Sunday’s ninth inning unscathed.

After back-to-back one-out walks in a 9-9 game, shortstop Jose Reyes misplayed what could have been an inning-ending double play ball on a J.J. Hardy single. Instead, Chris Davis score the goahead run from second base and the Baltimore Orioles rallied for a 13-9 victory over Toronto.

“I got a little bit confused, that’s no excuse,” said Reyes. “That should be into the double play

there and Cecil would be out of the inning. I saw Kawa (Munenori Kawasaki) was right there. … I had to continue to charge the ball and try to make a play, especially in that situation there.”

The Toronto Blue Jays erased an early 7-0 deficit and took a 9-7 lead in the fourth, but it all unravelled in the ninth.

Ryan Flaherty followed up Hardy’s single with a two-run triple, and later scored.

“The walks like today, he hasn’t been really sharp, hasn’t been able to locate his fastball,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Cecil. “Baseball gods are

going to punish you for (the walks). Always have, always will.”

Cecil (1-4) picked up the loss as the Blue Jays

(37-34) wrapped up a five-game home stand with a 3-2 record.

“I’m battling out there right now,” the left-hander said. “(I’m) trying to throw with a different hand position, thought I might be tipping some pitches so we’ll have to go back

and see if I’m still doing it. It was just a little thing and I thought I had fixed it. I don’t know if hitters are getting it or not.”

Reliever Darren O’Day (4-0) retired two hitters in the eighth for the win.

“It’s a day game and the ball is flying and you’re going to have a lot of runs scored,” said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. “You just want to have a chance at the end. We had a lot of guys come out of the bullpen who bent but didn’t break.”

Both starters had an afternoon to forget.

Scott Copeland allowed six singles and a

solo home run to Jimmy Parades as the Orioles (36-33) opened a 7-0 lead in the second inning.

The Blue Jays righthander, who was making his third career start, was done after just 1 1-3 innings, allowing seven earned runs on eight hits.

The Blue Jays responded in the bottom half of the inning.

Ezequiel Carrera took

Orioles’ starter Chris Tillman deep to right for a three-run shot to get Toronto on the board.

Kevin Pillar followed up with a solo shot to pull the Jays to within three.

After Ryan Goins singled, Jose Reyes reached with a double, ending Tillman’s afternoon.

Jose Bautista doubled off reliever Tommy Hunter, scoring a pair.

Tillman, who entered the contest with a 0-3 record and a 12.51 ERA against Toronto this season, allowed six earned runs on six hits.

Toronto completed the comeback in the third as Russell Martin scored on an RBI single

from Pillar, tying the game 7-7.

Bautista gave the Jays their first lead of the game with a two-run home run in the fourth.

The Orioles battled back to tie it 9-9 thanks to a solo shot from Davis in the fifth and an RBI single from Hardy in the seventh.

Notes: Following the game the Blue Jays optioned Copeland, LHP Phil Coke and RHP Ryan Tepera to triple-A Buffalo with a corresponding move to come. … RHP Drew Hutchison (6-1) gets the ball on Monday when the Blue Jays open a three-game series in Tampa Bay.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Is it unorthodox to have a one-year anniversary party? A friend of mine was married last summer. By November, she had created a savethe-date on Facebook for a one-year anniversary party. “Leona” invited everyone who had been on the wedding list, whether they attended or not. So far, only a handful have responded.

Leona has since sent out printed invitations with RSVP cards. The party has been described as a casual, potluck barbecue.

To me, the whole affair is a bit unseemly. I understand wanting to have a party, but the context of it being an anniversary party to commemorate a couple that has yet to get out of the honeymoon phase seems self-centered.

There is little excitement about the event, and after a few conversations with friends, I get the sense that other people feel the same way.

I’m not sure how to respond, and am a bit worried about how Leona will feel if few people show up to her gala. -Confused in California

Dear Confused: Having an anniversary party, no matter which anniversary, is perfectly fine as long as guests are not expected to pay for it and bring expensive presents. Leona’s mistake was giving the impression that it is a second wedding celebration, but we don’t believe that was her intent. It sounds as though she had a great time at her own wedding and thinks her anniversary is a good excuse to recreate the fun. While we agree that the guest list is larger than propriety endorses, please look at this as a party for friends, and base your reaction solely on that. It will help.

Dear Annie: Last year, our 21-yearold son took a break from college and lived at home. I am amazed by the number of people who thought this was unacceptable and said they would never allow a child to take a year off of college.

Here’s my perspective: High school graduation is like taking your 18-yearold to a large transportation hub where they have to pick a train that will take them to their next destination. Say that your young adult picks an express train.

About halfway through the journey, he realizes he is on the wrong train, but there are no stops. He imagines that his choices are to stay on the train or jump off while it’s going full speed. You assure him that there is an emergency brake, but everyone says the brake can’t be used, or if he does, he will have to wait a long time for a train headed in a different direction, and he’ll be left behind.

We encouraged our son to pull the emergency brake and a year later, we find we have a happy, healthy young adult headed on the right train. I know that had our son stayed on that express train, he’d have ended up dead on the side of the track. We are happy that we provided him with a safety net. Now he has a bright future. -- Mom Dear Mom: No child should be left without emotional backup, and you were smart not to listen to the critics.

We support the idea of a gap year before students start college where they may be living away from home for the first time. Kids can use the year to work, travel or volunteer, but it allows them to mature and be more responsible for themselves.

NEWS

B.C. farmland-to-forest project halted To m F l etcher Black Press

British-based manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser Inc. has suspended its tree-planting program on farmland in the B.C. Interior after continued opposition from local governments.

Communities from the Peace, Prince George and Cariboo grew increasingly alarmed as the carbon offset program known as RB Trees for Change accumulated thousands of hectares of cleared farmland and planted seven million trees since it began in 2006. They objected to centrally located and productive farmland being lost, weakening local economies and encouraging new land clearing farther afield.

“Our intent is to review all aspects of the program including land buying criteria,” company spokesperson Lynn Kenney told Black Press Friday.

“We will do so through discussions with stakeholders including provincial and local governments, community representatives, our suppliers and others with an interest in the program.”

The B.C. government was in-

formed of the decision June 4, and it was confirmed Friday by Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick.

“I am especially pleased to hear that in conducting their review they will not make any new offers to purchase land, nor will they prepare existing lands, buy seed or plant new trees,” Letnick said.

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham said this company’s voluntary decision doesn’t prevent others from doing the same thing. Tree growing remains a permitted use under Agricultural Land Commission rules, and RB chose not to apply for long-term covenants against tree cutting that would qualify the project for tradable carbon offsets.

Popham has called for legislative amendments to make any carbon offset program on farmland subject to approval by the Agricultural Land Commission. RB initially said they were only replanting marginal and idle land, but local governments rejected that assessment.

Kenney said the company will continue to maintain the farmland it has planted.

Dawn’s

Submitted

Farmland at Reid Lake, northwest of Prince George, planted by RB Trees For Change as a carbon offset.

Locals say the land was cleared by homesteaders with horses in the early 1900s.

Former Parks Canada officials protest proposed Lake Louise developments

NOW AT NUTTERS – YOU’RE A SENIOR AT 60!!

LAKE LOUISE, Alta. - Former top Parks Canada officials have asked the federal government to put the brakes on proposed new development guidelines for a ski resort in one of Canada’s best-loved parks.

“We’re asking for (federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq) to hit the pause button on this,” said Stephen Woodley, who was a Parks Canada chief ecosystem scientist.

He is one of 11 former Parks Canada supervisors who have signed a letter expressing concerns about plans for the Lake Louise ski area in Banff National Park.

The signatories include one-time park superintendents and planners as well as three retired national directors.

A Parks Canada spokesman was not immediately available for comment.

Earlier this month, Parks Canada released guidelines for development at Lake Louise, one of Canada’s largest ski resorts and a regular World Cup race venue. The document was crafted in consultation with ski-hill management and is intended to stand for the next 42 years.

The guidelines would allow several warming huts to be built along with a large facility on the top of Mount Whitehorn. About 1,000 hectares from the resort’s leasehold would be exchanged for permission to put runs on 500 currently unused hectares.

Woodley said that swap simply means the resort would be letting go of land that isn’t developable anyway for

wilderness that is.

“It takes away areas that are now designated wilderness and turns them into ski runs. These are legislated, designated wilderness areas within Banff and it opens them up for development.”

The overall effect, including new lifts and facilities, would increase the resort’s footprint by 30 per cent, Woodley said.

Parks Canada officials have said that any actual construction would be preceded by an environmental assessment and public review. But Woodley said environmental protection in Banff, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, should come first.

“You can’t run a national park and a world heritage site by saying, ‘We’ll fit in whatever fits under an environmental assessment.’

“There’s a higher standard here.”

The letter also says much of the science used to develop the guidelines is outdated.

It also points out that bears are attracted to plants that grow on ski runs in the summer, so adding more runs could increase bear encounters in the park.

The guidelines were developed by resort management and Parks Canada with no public input, Woodley said.

The comment period ends Sunday.

Woodley acknowledged that the guidelines contain some good ideas and that he and his colleagues don’t oppose all resort expansion. But they all agree the current proposals need a re-think.
