Bears galore this season Locals told to take precautions IT’S GOING to be a banner August aud September for bears in town, warns Ter- race district conservalion of- ficer Adrian Juch, "Weve. been catching bears pretty regularly every- - where,’’ Juch said. _. Already two black bears have been killed here this suinmer, and a total of ‘six others were shot. in Kitimat, Prince Rupert and New Aiyansh, “The office here receives approximately 800 bear complaints a year, 80 per cent of which occur in Au- gust and September, A GRIZZLY BEAR fishes for salmon in asteam near Hyder, Alaska. Bears will Black bears here are killed, instead of moved, be- cause they aren't good can- didates for relocation, said Juch. That’s because a relocated black bear will often return to the same area or become a problem in another com- munity down the road. The conservation office also doesn’t have the extra manpower, resources or time involved with moving black bears, It simply can’t afford to fly the bears out of the area. And since black bears are in abundance in this area, conservation officers aren’t worried about depleting their numbers. “Grizzly bears and kermodei bears aren’t as abundant so we relocate and make efforts to move them,” he said, Heavy bear years tend to‘ be cyclical every other year and conservation officers say this year is slated to be a. big year, Juch said = whenever there’s a good growing sea- sen for berries in the bush, | once those berries overma- ture, bears come looking for fruittrees in town. _For a limited time only, we are selling all of our used cotton or polyester coveralls for the LOW price of $3.00 each, as is They are great for working around the yard, painting, or for the backyard mechanic, ete.

If not, be said, people. can expect broken branches from bears trying to climb up them. * He also warns people not to put rotting fruit or other food in their compost piles. ‘*Bears can smell ferment- ing food for miles,’’ he said. Other “things to keep in mind as bear season (August aud September) approaches are: not to leave your gar- bage out the night before, and not to leave dog food and cat food 9ut at night.

Marie Sullivan also resigned from the board. The four have been replaced by Brenda Burghardt, of Prince Rupert, Barry Hale, of Prince Rupert, Edward Harrison, of Terrace and Myrtle Prett, of Kitimat. Rodney Amold, of Terrace, Sandra Martin, of Mor- ristown and Trish McKay, of Prince Rupert were all reappointed. The other nine members of the board are still com- pleting their previous appointments. Our turn’s coming THE NORTHWEST isn’t being left out of a province- wide campaign to seize illegal liquor from licensed es- tablishments. RCMP officers raided 73 establishments in the Lower Mainland, Whistler, the northeast, the Okanagan and the Kaolenays, between September 1997 to March 1998, seizing 8,000 bottles and cans of illegal alcohol. Eight places, seven of which are restaurants, have had their liquor licences suspended, And northwestem establishments can expect to be in- cluded in the next round of visits, says attorney-general spokesman Kale Thompson. “This was just Phase J,’’ said Thompson. ‘Other areas will be covered next.”’ Illegal liquor is any alcohol not bought from the B.C, Liquor Distribution Branch. It caa include homemade and U-brew alcohol, stolen or smuggled liquor and liq- vor thal has been watered down. New CO hired last month DALE RYAN, Terrace’s newest conservation officer, has wanted to be a CO since he was a youngster. While in pursuit of a job here, he spent. the last five years in Dease Lake working as a forest technician. Ryan is excited about working here, saying the area deals with a wide range of environmental issues from bear problems and fishing and hunting infractions to natural habitat damage and industrial dumping, The Terrace district is a busy spot, he said, since it encompasses the three large communities of Terrace, Kitimat and Prince Rupert. Ryan said he'll spend 60 per cent of his time doing paperwork and the remainder in the field.
