UPDATE: Missing woman located by local police

Sunday, 19 May 2013

Wood Buffalo RCMP are calling off the search for a missing woman.

 

Tina Howse of Lac La Biche has been located, safe and sound.

 

The 37-year old, who works at an industry site in the Wood Buffalo region was reported missing by her co-workers and police issued a call for the public's assistance this morning. 

 

-------------------- 

 

 

Wood Buffalo RCMP are seeking the public's assistance in locating a missing woman.

 

37-year old Tina Howse from the Lac La Biche area was last seen late in the evening hours of Friday, May 17th.

 

Police say the woman was working in the Wood Buffalo area and investigators believe she may be somewhere in the downtown area of Fort McMurray.

 

"We basically were advised that yesterday evening, later in the afternoon, the 37-year-old had in fact not shown up for work that morning," says Constable Christina Wilkins. "And so as a result we initiated a missing persons investigation."  

 

RCMP, responding to concerns for her safety, have conducted numerous patrols and have exhausted numerous avenues in attempt to locate Howse.

 

"There are some concerns for her safety and that's why we're looking to the public," says Wilkins.  

 

Howse is 5'3 tall and approximately 180 lbs, with brown hair and brown eyes.

 

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact Wood Buffalo RCMP at 780-788-4000 or the Crime Stoppers hot line at 1-800-222-TIPS.

 

Police seize narcotics during checkstop

Sunday, 19 May 2013

Two men are spending their long weekend in jail after police allegedly found narcotics in their vehicle. 

 

The checkstop happened Friday night near Gregoire Lake Provincial Park. 

 

"The vehicle was identified as suspected of containing illicit narcotics," says RCMP Constable Christina Wilkins. "And a drug investigation was commenced at that point."

 

Wood Buffalo RCMP members, along with Traffic and Police Dog Services seized magic mushrooms, cocaine and marijuana from the vehicle. 

 

"I don't have an estimated street  value but I do know there were various different drugs located in various amounts," says Wilkins. "It was probably on the smaller side in terms of the amount of drugs seized, but certainly significant."

 

The 25-year-old male driver from Fort McMurray is facing charges of possession and trafficking along with a vehicle suspension. A 27-year-old Kelowna man is facing similar charges as well as breaching his bail conditions.  

 

Both remain in custody and are awaiting their first appearance in court.  

 

Industry still threatening caribou population

Sunday, 19 May 2013

A pact aimed at protecting the boreal forest from clear cutting is not taking root.

 

The Alberta Wilderness Association says the logging industry needs to maintain its pledge to protect endangered species, and halt work on critical caribou ranges.

 

The agency is marking the three-year anniversary of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, a partnership between the logging industry and conservationists.

 

The ATA says the moratorium is needed until the caribou population is reached sustainable levels. 

 

All caribou ranges in Alberta are considered to be too disturbed by industry to be able to maintain the dwindling herds and all populations are expected to die out within decades.

 

The pact is considered fragile, and progress has been slow in reaching any of the agreement`s mandates, something which prompted both Greenpeace and conservation group Canopy to drop out.

 

The province recently stalled the sale of new energy leases in the Little Smoky range, among the most disturbed habitats in the country.

 

Although energy expansion was deferred in the central range, logging continues in the precarious habitat.

 

All 15 of Alberta's caribou herds have been shrinking rapidly, mostly due to habitat destruction by energy and forestry development.
