Bear problem
caused by
food shortage

By CHERYL CALDERBANK
Staff Writer

An apparent food shortage at higher elevations is to
blame for the increased bear problem in the Castlegar
area this year.

Wayne Campbell, senior conservation officer for the
castlegar zone, says bear complaints have skyrocketed
this year. The Castlegar zone —— from Rock Creek
through to the Salmo-Creston summit

Campbell said that during pm and September
the conservation office in Castlegar received more than
100 complaints each month, and about 50 black bears
destroyed in that time.

Guy Woods, West Kootenay wild biologist explained
that there were more problems with bears this year
because of an apparent lack of a decent huckleberry crop
in the mountains.

He said the crop was “extremely poor,” leaving the

bears without their primary source of food in the
mid-summer, a time when they put on most of their fat
for winter.

As a result, bears were forced into towns to look for
food, and in their attempts, many became a nuisance to
residents.

Ifa black bear is a serious problem, the conservation
office must destroy the bear.

Campbell says black bears are not relocated because
it's a major expense.

In addition, there are not many suitable areas to
relocate the bears. He said usually, areas where bears can
roam without problems, are already occupied by bears,
and putting more bears in those areas could cause

But grizzlies can be relocated because they are rarer
and problems with grizzlies are far fewer. Since the
beginning of August, six grizzlies have been relocated
from the Revelstoke and Nelson areas.

Meanwhile, Campbell said the conservation office's
four bear traps were in constant use in Castlegar,
Rossland and Trail.

“There were people on a waiting list,” he said.

Residents in rural areas having problems with bears
were advised to get permits from the conservation office
or obtain a hunting licence or tag to destroy the bear. At
least eight bears were destroyed in rural areas, although
complete statistics haven't been compiled yet.

TREET TALK

NELSON IS BACK in the spotlight. A CBC-TV
production crew visited the Queen City last Thursday
and Friday to tape reports that should be aired in about
two weeks.

The crew — an executive producers, a reporter and a
camera and sound team — will focus on the economic
turnaround in the Nelson area, says Mayer Gerald

He said CBC also plans a story on the film industry's
interest in Nelson. The economic segments will be
featured on Pacific Report, while the film industry item
will be aired on CBC's Midday.

THE PROVINCIAL Fish and Wildlife Branch in
cooperation with the Nakusp Conservation Association,
has started a “rehabilitation” program at Summit Lake
on Highway 6. The branch has treated the lake with
rotenone to kill off the coarse fish. After waiting a year,
the branch intends to restock the lake with rainbow
trout.

The branch says rotenone is a
gradeable toxin.”

ONE OF THE definitiions of the word “cruise” is “to
travel about the streets at random.”

Parked in front of Iggies, the cruiser suddenly

COLIN AND MARGARET MADDOCKS, in town
for the tribute paid former mayors on Saturday evening,
have lived for some years in Yuma, Ariz. When Colin was
coming up on this trip he asked a family friend what she'd
like him to bring back from Canada.

“A Mountie,” was her reply.

“And the horse, too?” asked Colin.

“Yes,” she replied, “he'd be good for the garden!”

HER CHANCES were one out of 240,000 but Loretta
Rust of Castlegar managed to pick a $10,000 winner while
visiting in Kamloops in September. To make the odds
even more staggering, not only was it the first Seratch 'n
Win ticket she had ever bought, its the first lottery
ticket.

“I haven't decided what to do with the money yet,”
she said. “I still don't believe it belongs to me.”

FOR THE THIRD year in a row, Bumper to Bumper,
a national auto parts ch: with a store in Castlegar,
plans to sponsor a campaign to raise Christmas goods for
needy families.

Gail Cooley, general manager of the chain, says the
program, called Show You Care, Give a Gift, is designed
to collect donations at the more than 200 Bumper to
Bumper outlets across Canada.

Donations of canned food, new toys or clothing will
be accepted at the local store at 1507 Columbia Ave.

Elsewhere, Irving has issued a press release dis
agreeing with Castlegar News editor Ron Norman's Nov. 9
column in which the library expansion project was identified
as a major issue in the election.

“This is an attempt to determine issues rather than
report on them,” Irving said.

“As pinpointed in a Trail Times article on the all-candi
dates forum last week in Castlegar, the major issues facing
the electorate in the aldermanic race in Castlegar are
unemployment and the necessity for job creation. ig

Irving said the library expansion and problems filling
the city’s industrial park “are issues within this context

“The problems we are having in Castlegar and district
are shared throughout the region,” Irving said. “The tax
base crisis and the demand fof f€presentation for a wide
cross-section of the community challenge us to take unified
action.”

Irving also said those who have lost their jobs and
others have a right to assistance services.

“Tenants, homeowners and small business people want
their interests protected,” he said. “Issues particularly of
concern to women need to be addressed.”
