News In Brief

Habitat knowledge

takes to the web

A LOCAL FISH HABITAT EXPERT'S know-
ledge will soon be available on the Web for all to
read.

Written last year, Alois Schillinger’s manual is
being converted to a digital format for display on a
website maintained by the federal Department of
Fisheries and Oceans.

The manual emphasizes Schillinger’s technique
of restoring the food chain in creeks and streams
that have sulfered environmental: damage. -

He contends that breaking the food chain, that
interconnection of plants and marine creatures,
damages what had been healthy fish populations.

At the same time, a summary of Schillinger’s
work will appear in the June issue of a magazine
called “Cottage.” -

He’s also expecting a version of his work to be
published in a newsletter put out by the European
Centre for River Restoration, which is based in
Denmark. Ce

Washington and Oregon fishery departments
have also made contact, |

Schillinger restocks creek and streams with
plants which in turn provide habitat for the tiny
creatures upon which fish feed.

Rocks, called “‘riffle rocks" or logs are placed
on the beds of streams and creeks They provide
sheltering and feeding locations for juvenile fish
populations.

Kitimat’s new surgeon
delayed for two months

Kilimat’s new general surgeon won’t be arriving far
another two months.

Dr. Litif Sarkis, who was supposed to arrive on
March 21, has been given until the beginning of
June to commence his duties by the Kitimat and
Area Health Council.

“In the overall scheme of things, it’s a small
hitch,” explained strategic planning committee
chairman Dr. Jim MacKenzie.

Sarkis’s delay is due to unexpected circum-
stances ~ his own health. He’s ill but is already on
the mend, “It's quite unforeseen,” MacKenzie said,
noting the health council agreed to give Sarkis an
“extra cushion of time” to ensure he'll be able to
start June 1. Until then, Dr. Warrick Evans of Ter-
race has agreed to provide weekly service in Kiti-
mat. Hell handle elective surgeries on Thursdays
at Kitimat General Hospital.

Smaller airports seek
slice of bigger pie

CALL IT a Robin Hood plan for airports.

Terrace mayor Jack Talstra is backing Quesnel
mayar Steve Wallace's idea to demand Vancouver |
International Airport turn aver a portion of its mul-
ii-million doliar surplus to smaller needier airports
elsewhere in the province.

Smaller airports are struggling to adapt now that
they’re no ionger supported by Transport Canada.

Vancouver, Talstra noted, makes money with
every passenger smaller airports in the province .
funnel into it.

“We help in the success of the Vancouver
airport,” Talstra said.

“So we should share the wealth a little bit.”
