TERRACE — The city is get- ting another drug and alcohol counsellor but it’s being done at the expense of Prince-Rupert, That:arose when one of two counsellors in that city resigned and. the position was ordered to be: transferred: here, says June Campbell of the Northwest. .Drug and Alcohol Counselling -Service.: : _ Campbell said the order came from. the provincial government ‘ ministry which pays organiza- tions such as Northwest Drug and. .Alcohol to provide counselling service, Its contract with the provincial government ‘Places counsellors in Kitimat and Smithers as well as Prince _ Rupert and Terrace. And although the transfer “lMifeans an increase from one to two counsellors for Terrace, the ‘ situation doesn’t make her hap- Py. ‘As much as I. want a counsellor here, I’m not pleased ’ with the process, You can’t rob‘ Peter to pay Paul,”’ said Camp- bell. . She added that Prince Rupert has a need for two counsellors and that the one remaining there is already becoming overloaded with clients, From front Hatchery less than appropriate manage- _ment of the commercial fisheries for 100 years,’’ Hooton added. Although accelerating fish growth is done at the Kitimat hatchery it is made possible because warm water is available from the local pulp mill's heat exchanger. “In the Skeena there are no sources of warm water and the natural ground water’ is far too cold and the growing season far too. short to get the fish to migrating size in one year," said Hooton. The only alternative was to heat-the hatchery water which Hooton described as a “hopelessly expensive’? pro- position as it could mean a cost of as much as $2,000 for each smolt released. Add to that the logistical pro- blems of collecting eggs and returning up to a million smolts to half a dozen remote areas in the region and ‘‘it just makes no sense at all,’’ Hooton said. “For the expenditure that would be required...you could. ‘buy the whole gillnet fleet in Prince Rupert,”’ he said.
