HELENA, Mont. – Growing numbers of grizzly bears venturing east from the Rocky Mountains are attacking more domestic cattle and sheep.
Montana’s livestock-loss program has reimbursed ranchers for 42 animals killed by grizzlies so far this year — eight more than in all of 2014, not counting the 22 cattle lost this year to bears that have not yet been claimed.
One report came from as far east as Floweree, Montana, about 100 miles northeast of Helena, George Edwards of the Montana Livestock Loss Board said Tuesday.
Wyoming officials expect a less drastic increase in livestock attacks and the range of roaming by grizzly bears this year. “We’re having what I guess you would call a steady increase in livestock depredation as grizzly population and area expand,” said Brian DeBolt, Wyoming’s large carnivore conflict co-ordinator.

Calgary businessman accused of misusing investor money in real estate deal
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY – A Calgary businessman is facing fraud and theft charges in a multimillion-dollar commercial real estate scam.
The RCMP allege the head of Platinum Equities sold the Dominion Place building in Calgary for his own benefit, even though it was purchased with money from investors.
Police further allege Srinivasan (Sharif) Chandran was providing false information to investors from 2005 to 2013 and diverted funds to other business ventures.
An investigation began about two years ago after police received a number of complaints from investors who said they were defrauded of roughly $20 million.
Chandran, who is 42, also faces a civil lawsuit filed by investors.
