Many secondary insect pests were found colonizing drought affected trees. The most prevalent were twig beetles of the genera Pityophthorus and Pityogenes found in 66.6 percent of the stands surveyed. Hylurgops sp., were found in 50 percent of the stands surveyed and Pissodes schwarzi was found in 56 percent of the stands (Table 3). Aerial photograph of a young drought affected stand Vernon Forest District. Secondary pests found in fewer stands included Hylastes sp., Scolytus spp., Ips spp., Dendroctonus valens, Magdalis gentilis, Psuedohylesinus sp., and Pityokteines minutus. Most secondary insect attack occurred during the summer or fall of 1998. These opportunistic insects were attracted to the drought stressed trees. This secondary insect attack caused greater mortality than would have been experienced from the drought alone. The literature documents other cases where similar insect pest populations have significantly increased and have attacked not only drought stressed trees but healthy live trees as well (Furniss and Carolin 1977, Markalas 1992, Hack Drought mortality in a young stand, Vernon Forest District. and Schwartz 1997). It is not known what the populations of secondary pests we encountered will do in the summer of 2000, but continued extensive mortality is not expected. Drought mortality in a young stand. Table 3.

  • But Never Documented by the Kamloops Indian Residential School
    Tkemlúps̓ te Secwépemc (Kamloops Indian Band) OFFICE OF THE CHIEF FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 27, 2021, Kamloops – It is with a heavy heart that Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Kukpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir confirms an unthinkable loss that was spoken about but never documented by the Kamloops Indian Residential School. This past weekend, with the help of a ground penetrating radar specialist, the stark truth of the preliminary findings came to light – the confirmation of the remains of 215 children who were students of the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc is the home community of the Kamloops Indian Residential School which was the largest school in the Indian Affairs residential school system. As such, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Leadership acknowledges their responsibility to caretake for these lost children. “We had a knowing in our community that we were able to verify. To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths,” stated Kukpi7 Rosanne Casimir. “Some were as young as three years old. We sought out a way to confirm that knowing out of deepest respect and love for those lost children and their families, understanding that Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc is the final resting place of these children.” This work was undertaken by the C7élksten̓ s re Secwépemc ne Ck̓ úl̓ tens ell ne Xqwelténs (Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Language and Culture Department) with ceremonial Knowledge Keepers who ensured that the work was conducted respectfully in light of the serious nature of the investigation with cultural protocols being upheld. Given that these lost loved ones are buried within the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc community, and with all community members still grappling with the effects of residential school, Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Chief and Council first reached out to their community members to make them aware of the situation, albeit that it is still developing.
