South Granville Shopping
South Granville, which runs from Granville Bridge toward 16th Avenue, bordering the prestigious Shaughnessy neighborhood, is also known as Gallery Row. Internationally known painters are on display in the galleries here. Also impressive are the 18 Karat, an Asian design emporium for those who want modern, organic furniture and housewares, and the avant-garde designer clothing and gifts at Bacci's and Misch. South Main Street from Eighth Avenue to 24th Avenue is known as SoMa and houses the best selection of local designers in the city.—Kasey Wilson

Website: www.vanaqua.org
Visitors with kids should plan to spend at least half a day at the aquarium—it's chock-full of activities and interactive exhibits designed just for children. Among the daily doings are shows with dolphins, sea lions, and the resident beluga whales; otter-feeding sessions; and the new Clownfish Cove, where kids can handle starfish and other gentle sea creatures in touch pools, watch puppet shows, join in sing-alongs, and create sea-themed arts and crafts. The little darlings will be screaming with delight—which is why anyone liking a quiet aquarium experience should plan to go after 4 p.m., when families tend to clear out.
Open 9:30 am to 5 pm September through June, 9:30 am to 7 pm July and August.
Go Fish!, British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 1E8, Canada
Tel: 604 730 5040
Come early to score a table for lunch on the deck at Go Fish!, a humble seafood hut tucked into False Creek Fisherman's Wharf, where you can watch the daily catch being hauled in from fishing boats. Cod, halibut, and salmon are beer-battered in Granville Island lager then snatched from the deep-fryer at the instant of just-cooked perfection and served in bamboo steamers with fries and Asian slaw. The oyster po'boy—stuffed with three grilled Cortes Island beauties—and the cone-shaped fish tacones are irresistible. If you're planning to go after 5 pm, call ahead: Once the supplies are gone, so is the kitchen crew.—Kasey Wilson
Open Tuesdays through Fridays 11 am to 6:30 pm, Saturdays and Sundays noon to 6:30 pm.

You'll see a whole lot of totem poles while you're in Vancouver; they're the most striking evidence of the First Nations Indian population living in the area. The poles, usually 15 to 30 feet high and made from local red cedar, are intricately carved with faces and figures depicting important historical and tribal events. This compact museum is the best place to learn more about the totem tradition; the high-ceilinged Great Hall displays dozens of poles (many over 100 years old) and explains how they were made and what they symbolize. There are plenty of other draws, too: a huge trove of Northwest Coast art, masks, textiles, jewelry, and canoes, plus two traditional First Nations houses re-created on the grounds. In 2008, the museum underwent a $55 million expansion that increased its size by 50 percent. It's part of a larger project to relaunch the MOA by January 2010 to coincide with the Cultural Oympiad.
Closed Mondays mid-October through mid-May.

Stanley Park, British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Tel: 604 257 8400
Website: vancouver.ca/parks/parks/stanley
Described as a "1,000-acre therapeutic couch" of majestic evergreens, formal gardens, hiking trails, and kids' activities, Stanley Park is the third largest public park in North America. Set at the northwest corner of Downtown, it occupies a bulb-shaped peninsula that juts out into English Bay and Burrard Inlet. The park's summit, Prospect Point, is at its northern edge and has sweeping views of the inlet, North Vancouver, and the Lions Gate Bridge. Looking straight down from the point, you'll see the parade of walkers, bikers, and in-line skaters plying the park's prize attraction, the 5.5-mile seawall path that runs along the perimeter.
The entire park can be walked in two and a half hours at a brisk pace, but if you're pressed for time or have little ones in tow, you can also drive through the park and hit some of its high points—like the eight soaring totem poles carved by the Squamish people near Brockton Point. Bring your camera and in the evenings, maybe your earplugs: Nearby is the Nine O' Clock gun, an old English sea cannon placed in the park more than 100 years ago and fired nightly. The most developed area of the park includes the Vancouver Aquarium; the nearby Miniature Train, a delight for kids of all ages; and the Children's Farmyard, a petting zoo with barns full of sheep, goats, and pot-bellied pigs (and one grouchy llama).
In December 2006, hurricane-force storms uprooted and damaged some 10,000 trees in the park. All the roads and hiking trails have been cleared of debris and are again open to the public, along with the seawall. But Stanley Park is so beloved by locals that any change to the natural landscape is an issue of study and contention. Even an offer of a free concert by hometown hero Bryan Adams was turned down, as was a request from Jaguar to use the seawall as a backdrop for the unveiling of its snazzy coupes. That said, numerous annual events are held in Stanley Park; call the Parks and Recreation Board office for information and maps.—Kasey Wilson

Yaletown, British Columbia, Canada
This downtown district, once a maze of railyards and dilapidated warehouses, has been getting trendier ever since it was cleaned up for the 1986 World's Fair. These days, swanky residential lofts, chichi boutiques, and upscale restaurants occupy the old buildings. Most of the action is centered on Mainland and Hamilton streets. Be sure to check out Fine Finds, which stocks an eclectic mix of mostly Vancouver- and Canada-made items, like Barefoot Venus bath and body-care products, Matt & Natt and Ga Ya handbags, and fashions by Peel Designs (1014 Mainland St.; 604-669-8325). The Coastal Peoples Fine Arts Gallery is one of the best places to view and buy contemporary First Nations art (1024 Mainland St.; 604-685-9298).
Lift Bar & Grill, British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia V6G 3H5, Canada
Tel: 604 689 5438
Website: www.liftbarandgrill.com
Set right on the downtown seawall, super-modern Lift has the best views in the city through its enormous walls of glass (which prop open like French doors in the summer to let in the breeze). Diners near the windows get to look out over Coal Harbour, Stanley Park, and the North Shore mountains; so do those sitting on the fireplace-warmed roof terrace. Once the sun goes down, the backlit bar, softly glowing aquarium, and two flat-screen TVs create a lounge-y backdrop for enjoying the menu of eclectic small plates—they call them "whet plates" here. Options include classic moules frites, panko-crusted calamari, and a trio of wild salmon—gravlax, smoked with blini, and sockeye tartare.
Open Mondays through Fridays 11:30 am to midnight, Saturdays and Sundays 11 am to midnight.

Mini-ferries called "aquabuses" take you from one of several downtown stops (including Yaletown at Davie Street and the southern end of Hornby Street) to this happening enclave underneath the Granville Bridge—home to artisans, art galleries, and one of the best daily farmers markets anywhere, the Public Market. The "island" is actually a small peninsula attached to the south shore of False Creek and just a five-minute ferry ride from the Hornby Street stop. You can easily spend an entire morning or afternoon here, munching your way through the market and browsing the fun little shops and galleries in the surrounding maze of streets. Check out the Wood Co-op, with its impressive selection of beautifully crafted wood furniture, art, and housewares (1592 Johnston St.; 604-408-2553). If you have children, hit the Kids Market for two levels of shops selling toys, books, kites, and marionettes (1496 Cartwright St.; 604-689-8447). For a full-size meal, stop in for cedar-planked salmon or sushi at the Sandbar restaurant. In the summer, a visit to the Water Park and adventure playground is a must for parents with young children.

These are really nice for applying powder or highlighter. Really love to use them with my pressed powders, but they work well for loose as well. Very soft and versatile.
UPDATE: Looking at the other reviews, maybe I got a dud! But my rating still stands. Can only review what I have.
PROS: It's cheap, and you get two.
CONS: Maybe I'm being too harsh by giving a 1, but the sponge inside loses ALL of it's firmness after washing it. I have washed one a couple of times (by hand, not machine wash like it says you can also do) and had it been like that in the first place, I would have not bought it. It's flimsy and thin. If you plan on "loading" the puff with loose powder, or using loose powder in the first place, forget it. It just eats it. So pressed powder is the only way to go. And the softness... well, it's not soft but it's not rough either.
OVERALL: They discontinued these for a reason. I will instead try NYX's puffs, MAC's new (as of 2011) Luxury Powder Puffs, and the Ecotools Finishing Kabuki.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love using these puffs for applying pressed powder. I used to use the round sponge applicators that come with the compact, but they made the powder look cakey and unnatural on my face. I never have this problem with these Ecotools Powder Puffs.
I have been reading that velour puffs make superior applicators for loose/finishing powder (a brush is meant only for dusting off excess, it would seem) and was leaning towards the Laura Mercier ones because of the reviews here and because I use her Mineral Finishing Powder. While at the mall yesterday I went to the LM counter but they were sold out - which made me partly disappointed because I wanted them but partly also relieved because they are bl**dy pricey for something so basic.
Anyway, I saw the EcoTools ones by chance on the way back to my car, and knowing they make some of the best brushes around I picked them up at once, and I'm really glad I did. These puffs, although made from 'bamboo velour' are really, really cashmere soft! The size is just right, and in fact it fits snugly into the lid of the LMMFP (see 3rd pic above) so I don't have to worry about where to store it in between uses especially when I travel (it will get squished a bit though when you close the jar LOL).
They are machine washable (although at the point of writing this review I obviously have not had them washed yet to see how they fare post wash but I will update surely). In terms of performance, I can't compare them with the LM ones but I'll bet my bottom dollar these work just as well, if not better. There IS a difference when you use a puff to press and roll powder on your skin (not rub, as some may be doing): pores and shine disappear for a longer time! The finish is also much better than using a powder brush, which essentially just makes the powder sit on your skin, not meld into it.
I don't know if I will ever need the LM ones - if I eventually buy them it is only because I'm a junkie. These EcoTools bamboo velour puffs - as weird as bamboo velour sounds - are not only cute but also supersoft and do the job exceptionally well. I am very, very happy with my purchase (they were a fraction of the LM ones) and highly recommend them.

Hi all, Just wondering whether any one might be able to assist in identifying this tree/plant. It's come up in the same spot a number of times after cutting it down. It's incredibly quick growing with hairy/furry leaves/stems, and small purple flowers. It's probably a weed of sorts, but interested to find out. Any assistance appreciated. Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe "wild tobacco" - a Solanum. NOT for consumption and yes, generally a weed, if that's what it is. |
Hi Alison, Thank you very much (again - second time you've kindly assisted me with an ID). Certainly seems to be 'wild tobacco' it after googling it. Looks like it's time to get rid of it (for good this time hopefully). |

My roommate and I went away for a weekend and came home to find that our fridge had died, taking all of our groceries with it, some of which were rather recently purchased. I contacted our landlord on Sunday morning, and we had a new fridge by Sunday evening.
However, today I called my landlord because we want our groceries replaced, and he said it was not his concern. I thought, since the apartment complex owns the appliances, that failure of an appliance should mean reimbursement for the tenant. He said that since the fridge did not break because of a direct action or negligence on management's part that it is not their responsibility to replace our groceries. Legally, is this true? |

It is your responsibility to replace your own groceries. The landlord did his end by getting you a new fridge the same day you noticed yours was out. Give credit to him for being on the ball with that and as far as loosing food due to a bad fridge, it is just part of life that we all face at one time or another. |
Your landord is correct, most leases state they are not responsible for damages to tenants property. thats why its a good idea to get renters insurance. maybe if you had renters insurance they might cover it if your loss was great enough to execed your deductable. Just be happy you have a landlord that took care of the problem the same day you discovered it, move on and don't whine. |
You had a new fridge a few HOURS after contacting him and you're miffed? Consider yourself lucky. Your landlord could have put it off for weeks or months inconveniencing you. He could have tried charging YOU for the broken fridge claiming that you "broke it". You were too cheap to get renters insurance and now you want someone else to rescue you. Use this incident as a learning experience and get renters insurance so that you are prepared for the next disaster. |

Definitely get renter's insurance--I think it covers stuff like this (homeowner's insurance does), and it covers all your stuff if there's a fire. A friend of mine here at work had a fire in the apartment next to hers--she lost pretty much everything. And she didn't have renter's insurance. It was mostly hand-me-down furniture, etc., but having to replace EVERYTHING all at once is really expensive. Plus she has nowhere to live right now. A friend at a DIFFERENT job had a fire, but she had renter's insurance. It paid for her hotel that night, it paid for all her stuff, and I think it even paid for the other place she lived while she was waiting for her place to be fixed. Every renter should have renter's insurance. I'm kicking myself that I didn't have it back when I was renting. |
Every state is different. I had this exact thing happen in MN. My attorney said as long as I recomended renters insurance in writing I did not have to replace the groceries. It was in my lease. I would have paid a few bucks but the guy was a complete jerk about the entire ordeal. He also sent me a bill for $280 worth of stuff from his apartment sized fridge. When I got the bill I knew he wasn't getting a dime. |
yes all renters should have insurance. I told my tenant he should have it to cover his things in the event of a fire flood from a broken pipe or anyting. my lease states that I am not responsible for damages to their things for any reason like fire, water damage or breakin. since I live there too I have a homeowners policy that covers the building and my things but not anything in rented space. since renters incurance just covers personal property and a small amount of liablity its usually cheap to get. in my area depending on your credit rating its often $100 per year or less for a basic policy. when my brother rented in key west he and his wife lost alot to hurricane Willma and didn't have insurance. They had to live with out alot of things untill they could replace them. Now that they are back in PA they have insurance now. they learned the hard way that its wise to have the insurance just in case. |

Your landlord was a prince to replace your refrigerator within 24 hours. I have friends who live in rentals. This happened to them too. Their landlord made them wait several days to replace their refrigerator. No reimbursement for the lost groceries. Plus, he replaced it with another older model and IT ended up freezing all their newly purchased groceries! This "newer" (older than dirt) one also had to be replaced. Guess how much time THAT took? Several more days. I would consider myself lucky that you have such a responsive landlord. Here is something else to think about regarding renter's insurance. Real Estate Mailbag- Tenant's story a good argument for insurance Q. I rent an apartment in a large complex. About six months ago, I accidentally let my dinner cooking on the stove get overheated. It caused a fire that resulted in about $15,000 in damage to my apartment. Fortunately, nobody was injured. The landlord's insurance company paid to have my apartment restored. Now the insurer is suing me for the $15,000. I don't have renter's insurance. Do I have to pay? A. It sounds like you were negligent in allowing your dinner to overheat, causing a fire, which resulted in the $15,000 in damage. The landlord could have sued you for negligence damages. Instead, the insurer paid the $15,.000 repair costs. By doing so, the insurer became subrogated to the landlord's right to sue you for damages caused by your negligence. Your situation is a classic example of why apartment tenants always need a renter's insurance policy. If you had such insurance, your insurer would have paid this claim. Renter's insurance pays for loss because of fire, theft and other accidental losses. |

Geeze if we were responsible for your fridge contents where would it end???Think about it thats rediculous.Youre responsible for your place.Is it ok for landlord to come in check your fridge while youre away?Not...Would he want to no... |
I replace or repair most appliances in my rental properties within five working days. If a tenant wants me to insure the contents of the refrigerator within reason (price capped), I'd gladly raise the rent enough to cover my added liability. |
Get a free renters policy. If your auto insurance company offers a 10% auto/renters discount, you might save $200 per year on the auto insurance while spending $150 per year on renters insurance. You come out ahead $50 and with a free renters policy. That $50 can probably pay for your health and dental insurance for the month. |

Spurious criminal charges were brought against human rights defenders, including Indigenous leaders. Human rights violations committed by security forces remained unresolved. Women living in poverty continued to lack access to good quality and culturally appropriate health services.
There were mass demonstrations, many led by Indigenous Peoples' organizations, against government policies and legislation on issues such as natural resources; land; education; public services; and the lack of a clear process to guarantee the right of Indigenous Peoples to free, prior and informed consent on development projects and policies or legislation affecting them.
In February, Indigenous Peoples' organizations withdrew from discussions with the government over legislation on mining, water, land, education and the environment, because they believed the government was failing to engage meaningfully with their concerns.
In September, hundreds of police officers demonstrated against what they considered cuts in their pay and benefits. This was regarded by the government as an attempted coup. At least eight people, including two police officers, died during the protests and scores were injured, including the President who was hospitalized for the effects of tear gas. By the end of the year, scores of police officers were under investigation for a range of offences.
In June, Ecuador became the first country to ratify the Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
Top of pageCharges of sabotage and terrorism were brought against human rights defenders, including Indigenous leaders, in an attempt to silence their opposition to government policies.
Further human rights violations by members of the National Police group in charge of organized crime (Grupo de Apoyo Operacional, GAO) were reported. The group has been linked to scores of cases of torture and other ill-treatment and possible extrajudicial executions since its formation in 1996.
In July, the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions raised concerns that the vast majority of alleged killings, including killings by police, remained unresolved due to a lack of thorough and independent investigations, inadequate victim and witness support and protection, and delays and corruption in the justice system.
The Truth Commission in charge of investigating human rights violations between 1984 and 2008 published its final report in June. The Commission documented 118 cases, affecting 456 victims of arbitrary detention, torture, sexual violence, enforced disappearances and killings. The police were implicated in most of these crimes. The government made a commitment to bring the perpetrators to justice and to establish 12 special prosecutors to investigate these crimes. A draft law guaranteeing the right to reparation to victims of these violations was under discussion at the end of the year.
Top of pageIn September, the UN Special Rapporteur on indigenous people urged the government not to grant concessions for the extraction of natural resources, without a prior, broad and legitimate process of consultation and participation with the Indigenous communities affected.
In April, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights filed an application with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on the case of members of the Kichwa Peoples of the Sarayaku community, in Pastaza province. The case related to oil extraction on community land without the Kichwa's prior consultation, as well as to threats and intimidation against members of the community.
Top of pageIn January, the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) reported that many communities living in poverty still lacked access to good quality and culturally appropriate health services, despite efforts to extend access.
The CRC also raised concerns about the lack of access to information on sexual and reproductive health and the prohibition of emergency contraception.
Progress was made in reducing maternal mortality, according to official state figures. Other reports also indicated that Ecuador was making progress in reducing infant mortality. However, statistics continued to show great disparities between infant mortality in rural and urban areas and among Indigenous children.

Anyone who's played football with any degree of even moderate success knows that the days after the end of the season are tough. Losing a championship game is brutal, but really it's just the beginning of a long offseason. Save all the positive and constructive language you want for next year. Losing hurts.
The first week is pretty numbing. It's a perfect storm of confusion, disbelief, change in routine, and being completely drained of energy. Countless plays run on a loop inside your head, or perhaps just a select few that could have altered the outcome of the game. You think back to the start of the playoffs, the start of the regular season, and training camp even. Everything the 49ers talked about and worked on this year took them to the Super Bowl, so how did it come up short in the end? Making the Super Bowl is clearly very respectable, but nobody remembers the runner-up in any sport, which is why the 49ers have the worst off season to deal with in the NFL.
The most awkward part of losing a championship game is finding enough distractions to help you move forward. For perspective, that's basically asking a football player to avoid everyone he knows and everywhere he normally goes on a daily basis with for seven months. Don't go to the facility, don't go to the gym, don't answer the phone, don't go outside.
Some guys will watch the game obsessively over and over, trying to isolate the precious few moments that will make ALL the difference next time. A missed tackle in the first quarter, an offside in the second, and the blown lane assignment on the second-half kickoff return. Other players will never watch the game. They know how close they were, and the pain is so blunt there's no need to pour anything on it. Personally I'd rather get blown out by five touchdowns than lose by three points. I'd rather deal with shell shock and have no clue what happened than be 99% correct and still lose. Don't slip through my fingers, fly way over my head.
Winning is the only way to finish a year. The Ravens? Forget Gatorade and protein shakes, it's time for champagne and cake. The cruelty of football is that even when a team is winning games during the season, those wins are celebrated for one day…maybe. After that day of revelry it's back to the grind and prepping for the next opponent. Anyone who spends too much time celebrating a Week 6 win pays for it in Week 7. Win or lose, nobody has more time in their schedule in the NFL.
But after the Super Bowl, how much time you do you have? Six months. Not only are you now the champions, you get to be the champions until training camps kick off in late July or early August. That's a long time to soak it in, to appreciate the many long practice days, all the games and their chaotic nature of adjustments, breakdowns, re-adjustments, tense moments, and winning plays. Winning a Super Bowl must feel like celebrating all your accumulated birthdays everyday for Six months.
You're a champion when you eat breakfast, when you go for a dip in your pool, when you go to the mall and run into a friend you haven't seen in a while. You're even a champion if you want to lay on the coach all day and watch mind-rotting television. But you probably won't, because there's nothing a champion loves more than watching the game that made them so great. Over and over and over and over and over. After all, there's nothing a champion wants more than to win another championship. Save the recipe, next year we're having two cakes on my birthday because this one tastes so good. What does a champion do when they have all the time in the world? Whatever a champion's heart desires.
I never won a final championship playing football. I've won conference championships in high school and college. I was fortunate to return after my playing days and coach with my high school coach as an offensive coordinator and guide the team to a provincial championship. As a coach, it was a pretty unique experience. We had a big group of kids from all varieties and walks of life led by great coaches. As a staff we realized early in the year we had the potential to win a lot of games, and told the players. We also told them to expect nothing unless they improved every week, outworked the competition regardless of our talent level, and most importantly, didn't let winning during the regular season build us into a lazy playoff team.
To make a long season short the kids bought into the plan and we rode a couple of studs a long way while a healthy rotation of role players stepped up and filled in the rest. We met a few teams who had just as much talent as we did, but we outworked them. We ran a simple power run game with a healthy dose of play action as our base, and then would throw in an empty spread set to change things up with no huddle once in a while. Simple offense, great execution, tough defense, and a refusal to quit. Those were the keys to our success. And great coaching.
Credit the 49ers for refusing to fold when the game looked like it was running from them early in the third quarter. Say what you want about the power outage, but it happened to both teams, and San Fran regrouped to nearly charge back and steal the game. The Ravens, on the other hand, proved they were the real deal and thus are now the Super Bowl Champions until the 2013 season kicks off. Somewhere between the elated victory and the soul crushing defeat lies the love of football that wakes up boys and men alike and fuels their dreams of winning it all. I've won, I've lost, I've played, I've coached, and I'd give up everything to do it all again.
I can also guarantee I'd win it all next time. I've learned my lessons, now I just need one more chance. So do the San Francisco 49ers, unless the Ravens have something to do with it again. The taste of winning never gets old, only the players do.

Mamie Jean Bear Pleads Guilty in U.S. Federal Cour
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Great Falls on July 15, 2010, before U.S. District Judge Sam E. Haddon, MAMIE JEAN BEAR, a 56-year-old resident of Harlem, pled guilty to possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. Sentencing has been set for October 25, 2010. She is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl E. Rostad, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
In the early morning hours of September 5, 2009, A.B. was stopped by Fort Belknap Tribal Police for running a stop sign. One of her three passengers was identified as W.B. During the stop, officers noticed an open can of beer, which is a violation of tribal law, and detained the two male passengers sitting in the back seat. Officers then asked for and received consent from A.B. to search her vehicle. During the search, they found drug paraphernalia. The two females were also detained and transported to the Fort Belknap Police Department.
While visible from a surveillance camera at the police department, A.B. was observed by a female officer reaching into W.B.'s bra and retrieving something. After the males were searched, female officers conducted searches of A.B. and W.B. Nine plastic bags of a white powdery substance were found in body cavities, as well as three plastic tubes containing suspected methamphetamine residue in a purse belonging to W.B. A.B. was later given medical treatment on suspicion that she may have also swallowed methamphetamine.
Later that day, law enforcement conducted a search of the home of A.B.'s mother, MAMIE BEAR, based on information provided by A.B. that there were drugs and drug related evidence at that residence. Upon obtaining consent to search, officers found approximately 5 grams of methamphetamine in separate packages. Officers also found marijuana pipes, marijuana and marijuana seeds, needles, crushed pharmaceuticals, cash, a spoon and a knife with drug residue, and other evidence of drug use and trafficking.
MAMIE BEAR, A.B., and D.B. all admitted their long involvement in the methamphetamine trade. All identified W.B. as their primary, although not necessarily exclusive, source of supply for methamphetamine. A.B. indicated that W.B. had been bringing methamphetamine to the reservation from Seattle once or twice a month, and dealing to customers on Fort Belknap, from the time she, W.B., got out of federal prison in the summer of 2008. W.B. used D.B., A.B., and MAMIE BEAR as sub-distributors and all would share in the profits of the business. A.B., who described the activity as a "family business," indicated that she had been dealing drugs for as long as she could remember. She also indicated that W.B. was one of two sources of her drug supply. MAMIE BEAR admitted to using her home as a staging area for the distribution of drugs on Fort Belknap and distributing drugs supplied by W.B. to pay the bills.
BEAR faces possible penalties of 20 years in prison, a $1,000,000 fine and at least 3 years supervised release.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Tri-Agency Safe Trails Task Force, and the Fort Belknap Tribal Police.
A copy of the Offer of Proof can be obtained by contacting Sally Frank at (406) 247-4638.
