Province set to adopt national standards for dairy cattle care

by Tom Fletcher The B.C. government is adopting national standards for care of dairy cattle, a measure called for by the SPCA after a video surfaced showing abuse of cows last year at a Chilliwack farm.

The National Dairy Code of Practice covers shelter, feed and water as well as veterinary care and handling practices. It prohibits electric prods, hitting, kicking and shouting when handling cattle.

The code also demands that dairy farms recognize the companionship needs of cattle, and that their barns need adequate lighting and non-slip floors.

Eight employees of Chilliwack Cattle Sales, Canada’s largest dairy farm, were fired last June after a video showed them beating cows with sticks, chains and rakes. The B.C. Milk

Marketing Board lifted its ban on milk purchases from the farm after inspecting its operation and imposing monitoring on it.

Agriculture Minister Nor m Letnick announced the adoption of the code at a Cloverdale dairy farm Wednesday. He said the specific standards will help industry regulators and judges determine if cruelty to animals has been committed.

The SPCA recommended charges of wilfully causing “unnecessary pain, suffering and injury to animals” against the former Chilliwack employees, but Crown prosecutors have not yet decided on whether to proceed.

Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer of the B.C. SPCA, praised the adoption of the new code.

“We can’t change the past but we can change the present

“Hopefully we won’t ever see a repeat of what happened last

year.”

The B.C. SPCA receives an average of 8,800 cruelty complaints a year. About

a quarter of those involve farm animals, but most of those involve treatment of horses. Moriarty said complaints about dairy farms are rare.

Dave Eto, CEO

of the B.C. Dairy Association, said he welcomes whistleblowers such as the employee who captured video of the abuse in Chilliwack.

“It’s somewhat self-

destructive for a farmer to want to have animal abuse, especially for dairy cows,” Eto said. “an unhappy cow does not produce milk.”

Prepare for pet emergencies With much of B.C. covered with a thick haze of forest fire smoke, the BC SPCA is encouraging animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet preparedness. Several new wildfires as well as old ones have caused evacuation orders and states of emergency in several B.C. communities, prompting people to leave their homes as quickly as possible.

“When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible, and people don’t necessarily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late,” says BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “You don’t have time to gather up everything you need if you have to get out of your home right away.”

Evacuations are usually a busy time for staff and volunteers at the province’s BC SPCA branches, as they provide extra shelter, pet food and pet-related equipment such as crates and leashes for pet guardians and animals.

“When you’re in a hurry, it can be easy to forgot feeding bowls, food, leashes, everything,” Chortyk says. “That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any emergency. People love their pets but it often doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.”

Having an emergency pet kit handy is key, as well as ensuring your pet is already wearing a collar with up-to-date contact information, Chortyk notes. Keeping your pets inside the house

so you don’t need to search for them is also a good idea, as is having emergency pet boarding plans in place.

Items to include in an emergency kit for your pet(s) include: • A seven-day supply of food and water • Identification tag and collar • Sturdy crate and/or carrier • Pet first aid kit • Blanket/plastic bags • Leash, harness • Food and water bowls (collapsible are great) • Litter box and litter for cats • Manual can opener • Copy of your pet’s current vaccination history • Any special medications and instructions Visit spca.bc.ca for more information.

Evacuation alert lifted, BC Wildfire Service thanked for efforts

The wildfire near Baynes Lake before fire fightsers got the blaze fully under control.

The BC Wildfire Service is being thanked for its efforts on the Baynes Lake area wildfire.

The fire has been contained and an evacuation alert that

has been in place since Sunday has been lifted. “This is a good day,” says RDEK Board Chair Rob Gay. “Things escalated very quickly on Saturday night when the fire

broke out, and we are grateful for the tireless efforts of the crews, who have worked around the clock in trying conditions to bring the fire under control and protect

our residents. I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of our Emergency Social Services team, our Emergency Program personnel, our Jaffray and Baynes Lake fire

fighters and the many volunteers who have also been doing everything they can to help support area residents.”

At the peak of the event in the early hours

of Sunday morning, 200 people were evacuated from their homes in Kragmont and an area to the south. At the same time, the community of Baynes Lake and

an area to the north were on Evacuation Alert. By Sunday afternoon, they were able to return home as the Evacuation Order was rescinded and an Evacuation Alert put in place. In total, 416 dwellings were on Alert in addition to a large number of recreationalists who have been camping in the area.

Further to the north, an Evacuation Order for one home in Spillimacheen was rescinded last night and an Evacuation Alert put in place for that residence. The Evacuation Alert that was issued on Sunday for the area south of the RDEK’s border to Westside Road in Spillimacheen remains in place.

With tinder-dry conditions and continued warm temperatures in the forecast, the RDEK urges everyone to use extreme caution.

For information on wildfires, visit the BC Wildfire Service website at www.bcwildfire. ca .

An ounce of prevention

The Cutts Pasture Ecosystem Restoration burn in 2013 may have helped suppress some local wildfires.

The wildfire east of Lake Kookanusa and south of Cutts Road toward the Elk River is now 100% contained. This fire was discovered on July 4, 2015 and grew quickly and aggressively, prompting the evacuation of 200 people near Kragmont and further evacuation alerts in nearby communities.

Wildfire suppression efforts were aided by the Cutts

Pasture Ecosystem Restoration burn, which was conducted in fall 2013. The objectives of the Cutts Pasture project were to improve wildlife habitat and help protect local communities from the potential of catastrophic wildfires. This incident is an excellent example of how prescribed fire on the landscape can reduce fuel loads and create defendable spaces for BC Wildfire

Service crews to work when fires do occur.

BC Wildfire Service crews will continue mopping up hot spots on the fire’s perimeter, with the help of a sustained action crew from Ontario. Their assistance was made possible through the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which co-ordinates the mutual sharing of firefighting resources between B.C. and other Canadian jurisdictions.

With hot and dry conditions forecast through next week and the potential for more thunderstorms, the Southeast Fire Centre is urging the public to be extra cautious in the backcountry. All person-caused fires are preventable and these incidents may affect the ability of firefighting crews to respond to naturally occurring fires.

The Weekday View

Opinion: “Out of scope” not cutting it

by Dermod Travis Health minister Terry Lake may not have clued into it yet, but that idea to ask the Office of the B.C. Ombudsperson to investigate the 2012 health ministry firings isn’t flying so well.

Might have flown eons ago – had it been the very first inquiry – but not when it risks simply being the latest inquiry.

It’s a political bind of the government’s own making. Whatever moral authority they thought they had to set the investigatory framework on their own again was lost three or four investigations back.

Simply put: the public doesn’t buy the idea that the government actually wants to get to the bottom of this scandal.

Likely a bit to do with three of the government’s favourite words when it comes to investigating itself: out of scope.

Consider Marcia McNeil’s 2014 terms of reference into the human resources aspect of the health ministry firings.

Out of scope?

“Ministry of Health policies and practices related to research, contracting and datamanagement at the time the allegations were made; any changes that have been made

Letter: Where have the song birds gone?

One of my annual repugnant chores is to remove one or two gallons of cat feces from our flower beds and our small garden, accumulated over the previous winter from the free roaming Cranbrook cats. I have my garden fenced to keep the local deer out, I haven’t devised a workable solution for feral and domestic cats. Seems the city of Cranbrook hasn’t either.

Feral cats can produce two to ten kittens during any month of the year.

An adult female may produce as many as three litters of kittens per year where food and habitat needs are sufficient.

Cats are active during the day but typically

are more active during the evening and night when cat owners let them out to play, most times all night long. Cats are territorial, but can and do roam in a range of up to four kilometers.

Cats, when roaming, can be considered to be totally wild in habits and temperament.

Feral cats and house cats are opportunistic predators, they feed on rodents, nesting song birds, shrews, mice, moles, squirrels, gophers, insects, game birds, reptiles, fish, carrion, vegetation as well as garbage and left over pet food.

Feral cats typically reside around communities and people.

Towns like Creston may have a cat population equal to or great-

to those policies and practices in response; the circumstances of any privacy breach or inappropriate data access related to the allegations; and decisions made following the terminations in the context of settlement of grievances and legal claims.”

Which pretty much covers anything of significance related to the scandal.

There was the 2013 review of the multicultural outreach plan headed up by deputy minister to the premier, John Dyble.

Out of scope? “The review does not include external partisan activities or activities that relate to the use of caucus resources.” Kind of a critical part to the outreach plan.

Even still – despite conducting 27 interviews, gathering 10,000

pages of documents and directing a forensic analysis of electronic data – Dyble and his team of three deputy ministers didn’t stumble across whatever it was that led to the appointment of a special prosecutor into the outreach plan only seven months later.

Which is telling, given how eager the government was a few months before to claim they had made a make-believe call to the RCMP and provided the police force with make-believe results of an internal investigation into make-believe crimes in the health ministry.

Weird, particularly given that two of the four deputy ministers were also part of the health ministry investigation.

Out of scope isn’t limited to investigations,

er than the human population.

The Creston flats are know for feral cat abundance. Ground nesting birds and ground roosting birds, sparrow’s and pheasant’s, are killed and eaten to extinction over time.

Feral cat management and pet management is the key to reducing cat populations.

Please do not live trap a cat and take it out into the bush and release it. Dropping off trapped cats is unfair to the cat and is certainly going to wreck havoc on song birds, rodents, rabbits and amphibians in the drop off zone. Several wild species also depend on the food feral cats kill and eat.

Since moving to Cranbrook, I have observed a significant reduction in song birds in the Parkland area. I have also witnessed an increase in unmanaged cats. Cats

are disease carriers to humans and wildlife, always wear protective gloves and a face mask when handling cat feces.. Diseases identified include feline distemper, histoplasmosis, mumps, plague, rabies, ringworm, salmonellosis, and various endo and ectoparasites.

In North America animal control agencies like the SPCA destroy millions of stray and feral cats annually.

The city of Cranbrook should establish a cat management strategy, similar to dog control systems.

A recent study in the USA identified that domestic cat and feral cat populations kill an estimated 1.3 billion to 4.3 billion birds annually and 6.3 to 22.3 billion mammals annually.

I wonder where our song bird have gone? ~Carmen C. Purdy Cranbrook

it creeps into other government reviews as well. Sometimes bizarrely so.

In 2012, the B.C. government appointed three individuals to lead an independent review of BC Transit.

They were tasked with examining the efficiency and effectiveness of transit services; the existing structure, processes and policies; funding relationships between BC Transit and local governments; and communications and consultation between BC Transit and local governments.

Despite their mandate, the following issues were out of scope: increases of provincial or local government funding to BC Transit; changes to the funding formulae and/ or consideration of new or extended sources of funding for tran-

“systemic throughout government and public agencies and involved many people, some of them high up and in charge of making the decisions.”

James worked in the ministry during the 2012 firings and later outed herself as the original whistleblower.

In light of what the public already knows, her claims that “current and former government employees worked as contractors while helping to draft contracts that gave their colleagues or family special treatment in terms of funding, access to data research and intellectual property rights” can’t be dismissed out of hand.

It just got messy.

Independent public inquiry kind of messy.

The Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society conducted a tour on June 24, 2015 with 30 natural resource managers, professionals and technical personnel from government agencies, the forest industry, First Nations, and NGOs from around the Columbia Basin.

The purpose was to review the results and recommendations of the Waldo North Grassland Restoration Pilot Project Monitoring Program.

sit; the status of BC Transit as a provincial Crown corporation; and the creation of regional transportation authorities.

There went a good chunk of the meat to that review.

So the government shouldn’t really fall over backwards when they learn that the public doesn’t have much confidence in this latest investigatory salvo, particularly when it will fall on the B.C. Liberaldominated finance and government services committee to set the terms of reference for the Ombudsperson.

Oh, and a bit of a game changer was thrown into the mix last week when Alana James claimed in an interview with the Vancouver Sun that her concerns were not limited to the health ministry, but were

High-speed Internet coming to Columbia Basin/Boundary area

PHOTO SUBMITTED

MP David Wilks and Minister James Moore announce major investment that will bring fast, reliable Internet services to 11,000 homes in the Kootenay region.

Everyday tasks that were once done in person, such as shopping, communicating, learning and banking, are now done online.

To help Canadians have better access to these and many other online opportunities,

the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry and Minister Responsible for British Columbia, and David Wilks, Member of Parliament for Kootenay–Columbia, announced that the Government of

Canada will provide $3.34 million to Columbia Basin Trust to bring high-speed Internet services to approximately 11,000 households in British Columbia.

“Columbia Basin Trust is committed to

bringing better broadband to the Columbia Basin–Boundary region, and this funding is an important step forward in giving over 11,000 households the ability to participate fully in the digital world,” said

Increase in Kimberley crime Over the past few weeks Kimberley RCMP have noted a sharp increase in the number of break and enters and thefts. Police are very concerned and are actively following up on a number of leads but no arrests have been made.

Police would like to make the public aware of the incidents in the hopes that they pass on any information that could assist in the investigation.

On June 22, the long board shop on Howard Street reported they were broken into overnight and several Landyachtz long boards stolen. Further inquiries found there had been attempts to other businesses on Howard Street the same time.

On July 2, Revolution Acupuncture reported they were broken into overnight and cash box containing a small amount of money taken. Police have since recovered the cash box and following up.

A cash box from the Kimberley Summer Theatre was stolen from a vehicle in the Platzl. In this case the window of the vehicle

was smashed and the cash stolen leading police to believe suspects may have watched the person put the cash box in the vehicle.

On July 4, a purse was stolen from a vehicle on Wallinger Ave. The owner was moving and going to and from her vehicle when the theft occurred.

Early Monday July 6 the alarm was activated at Melody Motors.

Investigation found a broken window but nothing was taken. In this case police believe the alarm scared the thief off.

The same day Centre 64 reported

they had been broken into overnight. Access was gained through a rear door; from there thieves broke into the office and removed a cash box.

On July 7th, police were called to the Marysville Pub; a single person had entered the pub shortly after 2:00 am, stole a small amount of money but quickly left when the alarm went off.

The Forensic Identification Section have attended and gathered evidence that will assist officers in the investigation.

Neil Muth, President and CEO, Columbia Basin Trust. “Thank you to the Minister, the Government of Canada, our local government partners and Internet service providers for their efforts in bringing affordable

high-speed Internet services to our communities.”

Under the Connecting Canadians program, the Columbia Basin Trust will receive $3.34 million to connect approximately 11,000 households in the Kootenay region, including in Ainsworth Hot Springs, Baynes Lake, Beaver Valley, Blewett, Boswell, Boundary (Bridesville to Christina Lake), Bountiful, Brisco, Canal Flats, Canyon, Crawford Bay, Deer Park, Edgewater, Edgewood, Elk Valley, Elko, Fairmont Hot Springs, Ferguson,Field, Fruitvale, Genelle, Glade, Grasmere, Gray Creek, Harrogate, Harrop, Jaffray, Kingsgate, Kitchener, Lister, Moyie Lake, Northern Kootenay Lake communities, Parson, Renata, Riondel, Ross Spur, rural Rossland, Salmo, Sirdar, Slocan Valley, Spillimacheen, South Slocan,Tarrys, Thrums, Wasa, West Creston, Whatshan Lake and surround-

Managing bats in your building Summer is the season when property owners notice bats in their buildings. They may find guano on the deck, hear bats in the walls, or smell a build-up of guano. The Kootenay Community Bat Project, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, has received numerous calls with these issues.

In many cases, landowners are happy to leave bats where they are. However, for landowners who would like to have bats move out of their buildings, a new resource guide is available.

“We pleased to announce the publication of this booklet which we developed in partnership with the BC Community Bat Program” says Juliet Craig, Coordinator for the Kootenay Community Bat Project. Under the BC Wildlife Act it is illegal to exterminate or harm bats. In order to “get rid of bats”, the best strategy is to wait until they have left the building and seal up all the entry and exit points.

However, in summer months, bat pups can become trapped inside.

In general, bats in the Kootenays leave buildings in the late summer or early fall. They use fall roost sites where they mate and then go

into mines or caves to hibernate. Although there is a possibility that bats can use buildings over the winter, it is unusual.

“There are several approaches to managing bats in buildings” continues Craig. Some landowners don’t mind having bats and simply leave them be or clean up the guano once a year. Others want to ensure that the bats are no longer able to use the building. We have developed a Seven Step guide to assist landowners with these issues.”

One of the most important strategies in excluding bats from a building is to install a bat-house nearby.

These wooden boxes comprised of various chambers provide the bats with an alternative habitat. They are less likely to be persistent in entering their old roost site in a building if they have somewhere else to roost.
