With the warm season just ahead, it gives employees time to adjust to the new environment. In British Columbia, in those same months, there is a lot of big game — elk, sheep, mountain goat and caribou, for example — on the move, often in similar modes of transport, such as trucks and airplanes. The animals are transplanted from one area of the province to another and sometimes farther afield, as the result of initiatives by B.C.'s Ministry of Envirdnment. There are a number of reasons for such transplants. v More info call 365-5028 TIMES: Tues. 7 to 9 p.m. — Thurs. 7 to 9 p.m. PLACE: Kinnaird Elementary School ling to Wally Macgregor, ungulate specialist with the ministry, it occurs most often to restore a species to an area where it has been wiped out. Some species restore themselves when individuals from surrounding areas invade from outside quite quickly. Other species move very slowly in opening new territory, meaning it could be decades (if at all) before a species returns to a given area. Transplants speed the process, says Macgregor. Often transplants are initiated to introduce a species to a new area where the habitat is not being used by other species and where it is suitable and plentiful enough for the introduced species. Introducing species to new areas adds to the diversity of the species in the area and creates a NET PLAY . . .

February and March are key months for tr because it is far enough ahead of the time when females give birth that the movement will not cause them to abort. It is also the best time to capture the animals while they are still on their low-altitude winter ranges. This year about 150 elk were moved from the East Kootenay are, where they are causing some damage to hay crops and where range is being overgrazed, to the northeast of the province. Some of them went to Williston Lake and others to an area northeast of Fort Nelson. Those elk made the last leg of their journey, from Fort Nelson, in a caribou transport aircraft.

Agustin Sambola, a Franciscan priest, was driving his Toyota Landcruiser jeep to a nearby community from his by of Rosita in ‘Ni when he heard gunshots. “They were in the bush,” recalled Sambola. “Bullets were all going back here and there, it seemed. Several came through the jeep. I was lucky enough to — if you want to say miraculously or whatever — I was not shot. But there was shrapnel into the seat where I was driving.” The priest floored the accelerator, and he and the six hiteh-hikers along for the ride watched an m-79 launch grenade shoot towards them from the side of the road. “But the speed I was going — about 70 kilometres — said Sambola. “It is the strongest thing we're going through at this moment.” Sambola harbors no p I bil towards the contras who ambushed him. No one was hurt in the incident. The guerrillas were likely mercenaries, says Sambola. “It wasn't a matter of hatred. There could be no hatred in my heart when I could see they had been just instruments, that they had been used.” o~ But Sambola is less accepting of another attack Dee. 19 on a farming co-operative 10 kilometres from Rosita, in which five men were killed. The dead men had wives and children. “Those babies, who's going to take care of them? Who's going to raise them?” he asked. The death toll from various anti-Sandinista attacks is in the thousands. Last year alone, more than 3,000 i died in military attacks, Sambola said. ~ it did not make perfect contact,” Sambol: calmly. “It just bounced off and exploded (in the bushes). I FEATURE REPORT just made a big dent to the front part of the jeep. The dent is still there.” The guerillas were “contras” — armed counter- revolutionary groups who receive backing for the American Central Intelligence Agency, explained Sam- bola, in an interview by the Castlegar News during his speaking tour of the Kootenays and the Okanagan. Sambola was invited by the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace to speak on Central America to church audiences. His three-week tour included Penticton, Nakusp, West Okanagan, Revelstoke, Kelowna, Fernie, Creston and Trail. The ambush is illistrative of the biggest problem faced by the Sandinista Front for National Liberation since it overthrew the dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza in 1979 — _ military aggression. Sambola says United States-backed attacks on farming co-operatives, airports, shipping ports, and health posts mean 40 per cent of the Nicaraguan budget goes into defence. This is a staggering drain on the economy of a poor country attempting to shrug off its Third World status and raise its health, education and communication systems to 20th century standards, he ys. “It's holding us back from developing the country,” But many positive changes have taken place since 1979, he says. While illiteracy was at one time about 50 per cent, now, thanks to an intensive educational campaign, the illiteracy level is only 12.6 per cent. The socialization of health services has made medical treatment available to the poor, building of roads and highways has progressed and infant mortality has been “drastically reduced.” Sambola says one of the main points he stresses when speaking to Canadians on Nicaragua is that American news reports on. the country are often “slanted.” “An example of this would be most of the media in the U.S. says the Nicaraguan government is a communist government. That they're oppressing the people. They're exploiting the people. They're killing the people. That's not true.” Although most Nicaraguans are Roman Catholics, the country offers freedom of religion, said Sambola. The economy is 60 per cent private, and 40 per cent government-owned. The Sandinistas’ is a “popular democracy,” he says, pointing out that the country's first election was held last November. Sambola said Canadians wishing to help Nicaraguans can support the Tools for Peace program (which solicits donations of tools and equipment shipped down to Nicaragua), and write to External Affairs Minister Joe Clark requesting a Canadian embassy in Nicaragua. This would strengthen the relationship between the two countries, and possibly lead to an exchange of technology. He said while he's found Canadians eager to learn © ge FATHER AGUSTIN SAMBOLA . . . on Kootenay tour about Nicaragua and help out, the “great majority” are unclear about the country’s political and economic situation. Added Sambola: “What we're trying to do in Nicaragua is give hope to thousands and millions of people in the world, because it's, new space that's being created to help people see that it’s possible to be free.” For Girls 7-17 Fees: $15, $12, $10.
