Fined for moose kills TWO MEN were fined $1,100 each last week for killing two moose on the Kitselas reserve in the win- ter of 1995. Charges were. laid after conservation offi- cers found parts of two moose at a Skidegate Landing residence on the Queen Charlotte Islands in Dec. 1995. Michael Stanley McNeill and Russell Gascoyne first told the conservation officers they shot the moose on a traditional native hunting area near Bella Coola. But the officers, acting on a tip, determined the “moose had been killed on the Kitselas reserve. The pair entered guilty pleas in Prince Rupert court Aug. 4 of hunting moose outside the open season and failing to properly state the location where the moose were Killed. The maximum sentence for each charge under the Wildlife Act is $10,000 and/or a six month jail term.

Firefighters head south MORE THAN a hundred firefighters from the Skeena region are heading south to fight the fires rag- ing across the province. Four 20-person unit crews and four three-person initial attack crews have already been assigned to fires in southern B.C. Another four initial attack crews are scheduled to head out this week. As of yesterday, there were no fires in the Skeena region and the Telegraph Creek fires were subsiding. The forest ministry has directed local crews to where they are most needed, which includes the large fire threatening Salmon Arm. The mass departure of local crews has left the forest district office in charge of organization in case of any local fires. The Terrace fire attack base is predicting the remainder of the Skeena fire season will remain slow, with few possibilities for major fires. SCI targets European market SKEENA CELLULOSE’S sales agents have cast their eyes on the European market to buffer the large drop in the Asian market. Spokesman Don McDonald said agents are in Europe convincing prospective customers that their product is better than what’s being produced by other manufacturers closer to the European market. “We just have to show them what we have is bet- ter.” said McDonald of the thrust to diversify markets. Just last month the mill was flying a French flag to welcome visitors from France. The downturn in the Asian economy has caused off and on again shutdowns. since -spring at Skeena Cellulose’s pulp mill in Prince.Rupert and its saw- mills here, in Carnaby and in Smithers. its Terrace mill was on o four-day a week rotation until shutting completely for one week two weeks ago. It re-opened’ Aug, 4at full production and for a full five-day a week schedule: oo Prices are being determined by rharket conditions and so far, those prices aren’ ‘t good said McDonald, ° Leave town, says the WCB A 58-YEAR-OLD woman, whose prospects for employ- ment are limited following a heart attack three years ago, is appealing a Workers’ Compensation Board decision that would have forced her to leave town to find work. Victoria Dodd, who suffered the heart attack while on the job as a taxi driver, was originally told to leave by Aug, 7 or face her benefits being cut off. A WCB letter sent to Dodd said the provincial agency would have paid relocation and job search expenses and would have cut her off from benefits eight weeks after she left Terrace, under the proposition that she would have found work by then, The mother of seven and grandmother of u has lived in Terrace for all but cight of the past 28 years. “7 can’t pack up my home and leave my family on a whim that maybe there’s a job out there,’’ says Dodd. With only 38 per cent use of her heart, Dodd can no longer drive a cab, which she did for 15 years, because she can’t lift baggage anymore. Local dispatching jobs would require her to clean, which she can also no longer do. The WCB Ictter suggested she could find work as a dis- patcher in another city where cleaning isn’t required or land employment as a telemarketer. Dodd says she did mention to her case worker about six months ago that a son in Medicine Hat wanted her to come live with him and his family. But she soon rethought that possibility. She says she didn’t want to run away from her life. Now she’s worried at the prospect ef having to move. “It’s a big move al my age. It’s very, very scary,” says Dodd. “‘The last week I’ve been a nervous wreck. [ don’t need this stress.”” The WCB has offered her assistance since her heart at- tack. Jt rented her a computer last year and gave her some accounting software instruction packages, But four months later, the WCB took the computer away. Dodd says she then borrowed the money to buy a com- puter with the hope of taking more courses bul that she hasn't received any more similar help from the WCB. _ Although Dodd declined to give permission to the WCB to talk to The Standard about the specifics of her case, Sandra Buckler, manager of corporate communications did talk about the WCB process. ‘We wouldn’t throw some- one in an unfamiliar area,"” says Buckler. ’ Dodd said WCB officials suggested moving to Medicine Hat or Vernon, where she and fer late husband once lived. But she says dispatching in a different city would be more stressful than in Terrace, because she wouldn’t be fa- miliar with all the streets and the number of cabs would be far greater. While the WCB can’t force people to do something they don’t want to do, says Buckler, it is required to exhaust all possibilities to allow a claimant to find work. If someone has the option of finding work somewhere and does not pursue it, the WCB can’t pay them for the loss in wages.
