Stewart border Some would-be smugglers have had their vehicles im- pounded, depending upon the amount of goods scized. Stewart RCMP Corporal Gordon Sims says an examina- tion of the dollar value of tobacco and alcohal imported into Hyder by just one enterprise there reveals the amount gf suspected activity. “The manifests indicated per year it amounts to $832 worth of alcohol and tobacco per person based: on an estimate of 1,000 people living in Stewart and in Hyder,” he said, That 1,000 population figure breaks down to 900 people living in Stewart and 100 in Hyder, — In other words, that one Hyder enterprise is importing $832,000 worth of tobacco and alcohol for sale cach year, And if one assumes that all of the tobacco and alcohol stays in Hyder, it amounts to $8,320 being consumed and smoked by each of Hyder’s residents each year, says Sims. These kinds of figures have the RCMP and other federal officials convinced that the illicit tobacco and alcohol trade goes beyond the community of Stewart. Mayor says Gestapo-like tactics used FEDERAL OFFICLALS are using ‘Gestapo tactics” in policing the border between Hyder, Alaska and Stewart says Stewart mayor Andy Burton. “They have these undercover guys coming in in un- marked cars playing gangbusters, Il’s garbage,” he said recently. Burton was reacting to recent moves by Canada Customs and other federal agencies to insist that people report in when crossing back into Canada from Hyder. There’s no manned check- point at the border but Can- ada Customs bas recently installed a toll-free phone at the Stewart RCMP detach- ment so people can phone in upon their return, Burton says federal offi- cials have been following people who have crossed back into Canada, : _ “T know a guy who went over and had a cup of coffee. He knew when he was being followed when he returned. A couple of weeks later he gels a $100 fine in the mail,’’ Burton continued. “The customs guys have these blitzes. It’s just crazy when they do it in the tourism days, going around and giving tourists a bad time. Tourism's 50 per cent of our economy.’? ; “TE there is a smuggling problem, they should go after those guys hauling truckloads of beer to Prince George or van Toads of cigarettes,”’ “"We say do it and do it right. Put peopte on the border, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.”2 i eco cyte ‘Burton said Terrace minor hockey players and coaches at a tournament in Stewart last fail were stopped after visiting Hyder. , “They didn’t buy anything. They just went for a visit but there was this great big roadblock and the kids were asked for their birth certificates,”’ he said. Burton and his council are advocating a system similar to one at other border crossings where regular travellers affix Stickers to their windshicids. They then are able to pass through unstopped, “Tm sure we can work something out,’’ said Burton, His council is to meet Canada Customs officials carly next month, In the meantime, the school bus crossing the border daily has been exempted from the reporting requirement as have Canadians who pass through Hyder on their way to West- min’s mine. Burton says he won't be using the Canada Customs phone. . “T’ve lived here 40 years, I've crossed the border thou- sands and thousands of times. No way,’' And he doubts that those who do phone Canada Customs will tell them they’ve bought alcohol or tobacco. Andy Burton ANNOUNCEMENTS REPORT POACHERS!
