Last week, the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort hit a major roadblock when Environment Minister Mary Polak determined the project was not substantially started.

That determination means that the Environmental Assessment Cer-tificate expires, and that the propo-nents must restart the process of going through all the necessary ap-provals should they wish to continue.

In a press release from the Minis-try of Environment, Polak made her decision by focusing on the physical activities that had taken place at the project site. In this case, the minister determined that the physical activi-ties undertake on the various compo-

nents did not meet the threshold of a substantially started project.

Norm Macdonald, NDP MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke, noted that the decision was a huge victory for Columbia Valley residents.

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

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.

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. See JUMBO, Page 3

In loving memory of

Arthur Roy GlennonOctober 10, 1934 - June 21, 2009

Peacefully sleeping, resting at last.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.

B a r ry Co u lt e rCranbrook 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, celebrat-ing “50 Years of Heart,” the theme of this year’s festival.

Friday night’s pag-eant, hosted by Christy Pick and Jason Wheel-don, opened with a video montage featur-ing pictures of all the candidates over the years and words of re-flection from many of the participants. Com-mon threads in the montage were the posi-tive effect going through the program had, and expressions of gratitude for Karin Pen-ner, who launched the program 50 years ago.

Wheeldon and Pick

introduced the selec-tion panel: Jane Ken-nelly Coates, Jo Som-merfeld, Paula Kutzner, auditor Rob Norum and Judge Chair Robyn Graham.

Wheeldon noted that by Friday evening, 60 per cent of each can-didates mark had al-ready been decided, based on a 15-minute private interview with the selection panel, each candidate’s knowledge of the com-munity, and an after-noon tea to see how everyone interacts with each other.

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

Club of Cranbrook).The speech and tal-

ent segment followed. Sarah Ferguson spoke on stereotypes — in particular those at-tributed to redheads. Her talent was a mod-ern dance perfor-mance. Daneri Ensign speech about her cous-ins with autism, and the effect and lessons thereof. Ensign’s per-formance 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 perfor-mance. 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 tradi-tions.”

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 fare-well speech, and then awards were presented. Kelsey Ackert was pre-sented with People’s Choice Award (by Christy Pick), Toast-master Public Speaking Award (by Kathy Simon) and Communi-ty Awareness Award (Christy Pick). Outgo-ing 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 Bos-tock. Kelsey Ackert was named Sam Steele Sweetheart, receiving the crown from Devon Kennedy. The two youth ambassadors will represent Cranbrook over the year ahead.

“There will be less and less snow at low ele-vations from now on and JGR would be the only high elevation ski resort in B.C,” said Ben-nett. “At the end of April, there was over a metre of snow on the valley floor. What other Koote-nay resort can say that? It is up the proponent to decide if it is worth

starting over.”Macdonald said the

next step must be the removal of the resort’s municipality status, which it was given in November 2012, along with a government-ap-pointed mayor and council.

“The creation of the Jumbo Resort Munici-pality was always a tre-

mendous waste of pub-lic resources. It should be dissolved immedi-ately,” Macdonald said. “It was always an abom-ination to the real dem-ocratic process.”

Greg Deck, the mayor for the Jumbo Glacier Resort, said he was disappointed in the decision, in an interview with the Invermere Val-

Greyhound Cana-da has filed an appli-cation to eliminate the bus route between Cranbrook and the Al-berta border that in-cludes five stops in the Columbia Valley.

Currently, the route (know as Route F) is serviced by one trip daily in each direc-tion.

The request, filed with the B.C. Passen-ger Transportation Board, would elimi-nate the following route points: Alberta Border and Highway 93, the Radium Aquacourt, Village of Radium Hot Springs, District of Invermere, Windermere, Fair-mont Hot Springs, Co-lumbia Lake Station, Canal Flats, Skookum-chuck, the City of Kimberley and the City of Cranbrook.

“The RDEK (Re-gional District of East Kootenay) will be sub-mitting a letter ex-pressing disappoint-ment with this deci-sion as the Greyhound is used by both people and as well as trans-porting goods,” said RDEK Area F director and vice chair Wendy Booth in an email.

The B.C. Passenger Board will consider written comments from community members that are re-ceived by Thursday, July 2.

Comments quoting “Application 197-15 / Route F” should be addressed to:

ley 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 pro-cess,” Deck said.

Both Wildsight and the Wilderness Com-mittee, two organiza-tions that opposed the

project, applauded the decision in separate press releases when it was announced on Thursday.

The Ktunaxa Nation Council is also appeal-ing a judicial review that went in favour of the provincial government in April. As of press time, it is not known what im-pact the case will have

on the future of the pro-posed project.

Jumbo Glacier Resort is a proposed year-round ski resort devel-opment in Jumbo Val-ley, 55 kilometres west of Invermere.

ArNe PeTrysheNA letter to council expressed con-

cerns about the lack of off-season pub-lic washrooms in Rotary Park, as well as a number of other concerns. The correspondence was from Laura Hall from the Summit Community Service Society. Hall is on-site manager for the Kid’s Club After School Program.

“When we are at the park during the winter, fall and spring months our staff is unable to offer a washroom facility for the children because the park wash-rooms are closed,”Hall wrote in a letter to council. “This does cause accidents which is hard on the children’s self-es-teem, not to mention embarrassment.”

She said there are often members of the public experience similar situa-tions.

Hall said the society was requesting that the city opens the washrooms year round, as well as set hours of some-thing like 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

She also noted the water fountain isn’t functioning, as well as the lack of benches around the heavily used areas.

“The removal of the benches has left holes which have caused one of my staff members to fall recently,” she said.

“It’s only a matter of time before a child falls or a bone is broke.”

Coun. Tom Shypitka said the lack of washroom hours of operation, as noted in the letter, was something he was concerned about.

“We hear this time and time again,” Shypitka said. “Are there set hours for the washrooms there?”

He said there are some potential “life traumatizing issues” that can hap-pen when the washrooms are not open.

Staudt noted the letter was primari-ly dealing with the winter off-season.

“We don’t have any heating in there or anything like that, so no those wash-rooms are closed during the winter months,” Staudt said. “In order to have them available you’d have to have heat and so forth. That’s one of the reasons we are considering, with Rotary and others, building new washrooms in Rotary Park.”

Staudt noted there are no year-round washrooms in the downtown core for the public.

Staudt also noted that the city parks have a certain closing time as well.

“There are hours of operation,” he

said. Coun. Danielle Cardozo asked

whether there were any other parks that have heated washrooms.

“I don’t believe any of our (wash-rooms)…Gyro, or the one by Kinsmen on Victoria, or the tennis courts… none of those are open in the winter time,” Staudt said.

Coun. Ron Popoff, who was acting mayor at the meeting, noted council has began the process of looking for a design for the Rotary washrooms, which would depend on the city’s bud-get, as well as contributions from orga-nizations like Rotary.

“So this will be great to see this come forward,” Popoff said.

“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 Extinc-tion, the huge loss of species that is under-way right now. It has been discussed in public before, of course, but what Ehrlich and other scientists from Stanford, Prince-ton and Berkeley universities have done is to document it statistically.

In a study published this month in Sci-ence 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 ani-mals.

Animals and plants are always going extinct, usually to be replaced by rival spe-cies 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 extinc-tion rate is 114 times higher.

“We are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event,” said Gerardo Ce-ballos 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.” In-deed, 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 spe-cies 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 bac-teria to emerge from the muds. As they

took over the oceans, they killed off all the oxy-gen-based life – and when they finally reached the surface, they emitted vast quantities of hydrogen sul-fide gas that destroyed the ozone layer and directly poisoned most land-based

life as well.The fifth and most recent mass extinc-

tion, 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 spe-cies: us.

It’s fair to say that we are the victims of our own success, but so is the entire bio-sphere. 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 pro-ductive 40 percent of the planet’s land sur-face 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 con-tinues 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 real-ly 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 diox-ide 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 ser-vices” 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.”

“... 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 hob-bling 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 passen-ger 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 in-appropriate 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 prob-lem immediately. I’ve been there several times almost unable to turn around when I’d found the road 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 South-erners into my pick-up and haul them down to where they might organize a res-cue 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, get-ting 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 rela-tive was considerably older than I’d be-lieved, 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 defeatCranbrook’s Montana State ‘B’ champs scrap tooth and nail with Montana State ‘A’ champs despite losses

Taylor rocca PhoTo

A Glacier ‘A’ Twins baserunner slides head-first into second base, eating a little bit of dirt in the process. His efforts were rewarded as he reached base safely, beating out the throw awaited by Bandits short-stop Devon Marra (left). Second baseman Carson Meggison (middle) watches on. The Twins topped the Bandits twice in doubleheader action at Confederation Park Saturday afternoon.

Taylor rocc aSports 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 Mon-tana.

The Bandits hosted the defending Montana State ‘A’ champion Gla-cier Twins in a double-header at Confederation Park Saturday after-noon, falling 6-1 and 8-4. The pair of losses drops the Bandits to 11-10-1 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 bet-ter 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 aggres-sive 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 Sat-urday. “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 pump-ing 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 pitch-ing performances in the opener, there wasn’t much to speak of on the Bandits side of the ball-game.

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 com-petition we’ve faced in the past little while -- an ‘A’ team, a state-champi-on ‘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 effi-ciently 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 strik-ing 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 in-ning, despite good work from right-hander Bren-dan Bird (0-2, 5.25 ERA).

Bird lasted 4.1 in-nings striking out one before giving way to re-liever Daniel Mercan-delli who finished 2.2 innings with one strike-out as well.

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

support early,” Mrazek said.

“Birdie threw well. They came out swing-ing. They were hitting the ball hard and gener-ated a couple runs, but they weren’t killing us.”

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

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

period, but a run-scor-ing single by Marra in the bottom of the fifth helped bring the Ban-dits 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 tak-ing 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 as-sume we’re going to stomp a team.”

Following Saturday’s outings, the Bandits trav-elled to Polson, Mont., for back-to-back games against the Mission Val-ley ‘B’ Mariners and Mis-sion Valley ‘A’ Mariners Sunday afternoon. Re-sults were unavailable by print deadline.

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

Toronto Blue Jays closer Brett Cecil could have gotten out of Sun-day’s ninth inning un-scathed.

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

“I got a little bit con-fused, 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 Kawa-saki) 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 defi-cit and took a 9-7 lead in the fourth, but it all un-ravelled in the ninth.

Ryan Flaherty fol-lowed 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 fast-ball,” 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 tip-ping 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 al-lowed six singles and a

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

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

The Blue Jays re-sponded 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 sin-gled, Jose Reyes reached with a double, ending Tillman’s afternoon.

Jose Bautista dou-bled off reliever Tommy Hunter, scoring a pair.

Tillman, who en-tered 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 op-tioned Copeland, LHP Phil Coke and RHP Ryan Tepera to triple-A Buffa-lo 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.

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 save-the-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-year-old 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-year-old 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.

CANADIAN PRESSLAKE LOUISE, Alta. - Former top

Parks Canada officials have asked the federal government to put the brakes on proposed new development guide-lines for a ski resort in one of Canada’s best-loved parks.

“We’re asking for (federal Environ-ment 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 Cana-da supervisors who have signed a let-ter 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 com-ment.

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 manage-ment 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 ex-changed 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, des-ignated wilderness areas within Banff and it opens them up for develop-ment.”

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

Parks Canada officials have said that any actual construction would be preceded by an environmental assess-ment 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 environ-mental 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 at-tracted 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.

Tom FlE TChERBlack Press

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

Communities from the Peace, Prince George and Cariboo grew in-creasingly alarmed as the carbon off-set 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 cen-trally located and productive farm-land 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 provin-cial and local governments, commu-nity 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 pur-chase land, nor will they prepare ex-isting lands, buy seed or plant new trees,” Letnick said.

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham said this company’s volun-tary 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 cut-ting that would qualify the project for tradable carbon offsets.

Popham has called for legislative amendments to make any carbon off-set 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 re-jected that assessment.

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

B.C. farmland-to-forest project halted

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.
