fi 4 H p af News in brief Attention moose hunters ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY OFFICIALS this week are going over recent questionnaires submitied by hunters on proposed moose hunting regulation changes. Hunters were given a chance to choose from a number of options to ensure a “healthy, balanced moose herd,’’ says provincial wild- life biologist Rick Marshall. The wildlife branch is worried about the drop in the number of bull moose — a drop to one-third of the population of four years ago, ‘If that decline continues, there is an increased risk that an in- creasing number of cow moose may not be bred and the population could then decline,”’ said Marshall. . ’ Hunters would also be dissatisfied if the ratio of bulls continues to fall, he added, Although the hunters who filled out the questionnaire, all of whom have hunted the area at least once since 1989, were picked at random, Marshall emphasized the survey is “‘heavily weighted to local hunters”’. Flu shots still available THE SKEENA Health Unit still has some doses of flu vaccine available, And appointments can be made by contacting the health unit. Health unit officials recommend that people over the age of 65 and people who suffer chronic and lengthy illnesses receive a flu shot. The phone number of the health unit is 638-3310 and those calls should be made as soon as possible. Canada wide challenge WAIT.

Gun d Golden Rule returns _ JUANITA HATTON and the Golden Rule Society are once again _planning the distribution of goody bags to the needy Christmas Eve day. | She’s looking for donations for the goody bags and for items that can be raffled off to raise money for food to be put in the bags. “The recession has now turned into a depression and there’ll be many people who won’t have enough to eat this Christmas,”’ said Hatton. ~ Donations can be made to the Golden Rule Goody Bag account at the Royal Bank. Hatton will be out selling raffle tickets within the : next two weeks, . The Golden Rule Society's goody bag campaign has been a fix- “ture of a Terrace Christmas for more than 20 years. Hatton began ‘the society as an employment agency and the goody bag campaign “grew out of that effort. The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, November 25, 1992 - Page AS eadline nears TERRACE — Owners of un- wanted guns here have a few more days to take advantage of the national firearms amnesty, As of last week only two guns and some ammunition had been turned in. Sgt. Jerry Whiting said RCMP here have received a .22-calibre handgun and a .303 rifle. Anyone can tum in unwanted of unregistered guns up to. and in- cluding Nov, 30. . “Tt applies to.any. kind. of un- wanted weapon or armmunition,”’” Whiting said, ‘We'll look after it.” The weapons and ammuuilion turned in will be destroyed. The amnesty gives immunity from weapon possession charges, but doesn’t preclude investigation if the gun was used in a crime. The goal is to get weapons out of circulation that arc unwanted, neglected or improperly stored — thereby reducing the number of many accidental deaths and suicides, Whiting said it gives people a chance to get rid of dangerous restricted or prohibited weapons — everything from handguns to machine guns to explosives. ’ Prohibited weapons don’t just include assault rifles and Uzis, however. Also included are large- capacity magazines, stun gums, switchblades, mace and tear gas. Sometimes, he added, people have ammunition but no longer have the gun that uses it. The am- ‘nesty also applies to all types. of ammunition, which can be dropped off. ; It’s also an ideal time to get previously unregistered restricted weapons registered. | Arson: blamed TERRACE — Arson is being blamed for a fice in a motor home in Terrace last week, Fire chicf Bob Beckett said someone apparently entered the motor home st 4844 Sunset Dr. at 4;30 a.m. on Nov. 14 and. tried to , set in on fire. woos oe “(S| Thonkyou 8!"
