It was in her back yard and she sprayed it with a water hose.” Sabal said that neighborhood pets have recently gone missing, and he suspects the cougar is the cause. “There have been a num- ber of cats and dogs in the neigh- borhood which have gone missing, including my own. I think this cougar is responsible.” Sabal said he considered using a dog to track the caf, but quickly discarded that idea due to heavy rain which would have made that impossible to do. “The thunderstorm would have washed away the trail.” His biggest fear is that the cougar will soon develop a taste for children. “The concern is that it’s start- ing to show itself in urban areas and it would be an easy transition [from preying upon dogs and cats] to little children.” Should a person come face to face with 4 cougar, Sabal has some advice which might just save their life. “Don't run. That could trig- ger the predatory response in the cougar.~ Sabal suggests that persons talk in normal tones to the cougar and raise their arms over their head. “You want to appear to be a bigger animal that it is.

At the request of Talarico, Hazen has promised an interim report on the “joint venture” and its impact. The document will be in the council’s hands sometime time to read and digest the document in time for its Sept. 11 meeting. But members aren't willing to leave it at that. They wiil be fol- lowing up their concerns by way of letter to the ministry. “We're sending them a letter to let them know we are all partners and we expect to give input and partake in discussion.” Talarico said council members are determined to see that health care delivery decisions are made ona regional basis and are based on providing quality care, not just monetary values. Representatives from both Trail and Nelson hospitals were not present at the HPC meeting.
