Feds still looking to block cigs FEDERAL OFFICIALS are still unsure of what kind of increased effort there'll be to bdlock cigarette smuggling from Hyder, Alaska into Stewart. Canada Customs and RCMP of- ficials for now say they’ll be con- centrating on southern border areas, particularly Quebec. The anti-smuggling measures involving more. manpower -were . announced recently as part of the same package featuring a drop in federal cigarette taxes. Federal officials said the drop, particularly if matched by the provinces, will help take away the incentive to buy smuggled smokes, And increased enforcement will help close off smuggling avenues, they say. But there’s no customs post on ihe border between Stewart and Hyder, only a sign telling people la phone a 1-800 number to Teport any purchases. Although Stewart RCMP make tegular seizures, detachment head Corporal Al Lindsey estimates neatly $2 million worth of cigaretles a year slips through. “It would be nice to have some additional manpower to slep up the enforcement,” Lindsey said last week, As it is, one of Lindsey’s two constables has been on extended sick leave this winter. Winter is also training time and the other constable has been away on occasion. Luckily winter — traveling weather cuts down on smuggling, Lindsey said. The delachment has benefitted the last couple of years because the Premier mine cut back and people have moved out. That’s reduced some of the reg- ular police workload, enabling of- ficers to devote more time to smuggling. Lindsey has two impounded vehicles now at the detachment — “and° more than 30 have been “seized over the last year, Those caught with large amounts of cigareltes not only face fines and charges, but have their vehicles taken away. Some of the cigarettes seized have been In the same boxes used to ship them up fom the lower Caught using decoy AMEZIADIN man has been con- victed of pitlamping, George VanGuilder, of Van Dyke camp on Hwy 37, was found guilty of night hunting with the aid of a light. Judge P.R. Lawrence, holding provincial court in Stewart, fined him $1,500 and orderd his firearm forfeited. Conservalion officers are also seeking a five-year hunting licence suspension. VanGuilder was arresied by conservation officers in the White River area southwest of Meziadin Junction in the early morming hours of Oct. 9 after ho fired three shots into a mechanical decoy moose. “Youth Resource Centre” School Tyes will provide child care services for children ages 5 to 11 between 11:00 am. and 6:30 pm.

He feels smuggling will only slow down if the B.C. cigaretie - price matches that of the United States. The federal tax drop of $5 a carton has cut prices in B.C., but the provincial government has yet to follow suit. While the great majority of sei- zures in B.C. takes: place on the lower mainland and along the border with Washington, the of- ficer in charge of the RCMP’s customs and excise section in the province recognizes ihere is a problem at Stewart “Four of our officers made a trip up there last year,”’ said Cor- poral Gary Sexsmilh. ‘Is an area where we realize there is a problem but specific plans aren’t in place yet.” “When we have amicetings, Stewart comes up every time,’’ he added, There are six RCMP officers and three Canada Customs of- ficers in Sexsmith’s upit. He thinks the size could double once the increased enforcement measures take hold. B.C. and Yukon Canada Customs district manager Barry McKee also said details aren’t yet ready about whal his department plans for Stewart. “We know there is smuggling going on and we're reviewing how best to respond,” he said, IGLOS: FIELOS FIELDS.
