New conservation officer -

starts beat in Terrace |

TERRACE — The vacancy left
by the departure of Terrace conser-
vation officer Ken Hoffman will
be filled Feb. 18, when Glen Slater
takes up the position.

Slater’s arrival will bring the
Terrace office up to its normal
complement of two CO’s to cover.
the area from Houston to the
Queen Charlotte Islands and
Kemano to the Yukon border.
Since Hoffman’s transfer in
December remaining CO Peter
Kalina had been the only, one
covering the massive area.

Kalina said he’s glad to see the
position filled and expects to have
an "increased presence in the field”
after Slater starts work. Poaching
levels are a concern again this
year.

There have been 25 confirmed
illegal moose killings in the area
since the hunting season ended,
Kalina said. January and February
are the critical months for poach-
ing, he added -—— last year during
those months there were 31 con-
firmed moose poaching incidents.
The area is approaching that level
now, with four weeks in the period
left to go.

Weather this year has been more
favourable for the animals than last
year, when abnormally heavy
snowfalls forced them out of the
bush and onto well-travelled areas,
making them easy victims for
poachers. Kalina hasn't had any
reports of deaths directly. con-

Most of the poaching incidents
have been reported in the West
Kalum-Cedar River area and in the
Nass Valley between aiyansh and
Meziadin Junction. Kalina adds,
however, that there is inevitably an
unknown amount of unreported

dian for the Department
