The Canadian Rangers were first created in 1942 during only see red or a limited time. the Second World War to act as support on the home front for the regular armed forces. Uniis, for instance, were sta- tioned up and down the British Columbia coast to keep an eye on shipping and other activity.

Robin McNeit of the Provincial River Forecast Centre says the snowpack here is only 10 per cent above normal. Last year around this time it was about 30 per cent above normal. “‘Untess we get really bad weather conditions — an ab- normally warm spell — it looks okay,’” says McNeil. There are record snowpack levels — 60 to 70 per cent above normal in some cases — in the Smithers area. But McNeil says it’s too earlier to say for sure what will happen. ‘‘If we get normal weather patterns it will proba- bly all come off with no great problems.”’ Normal weather paticrns are a few warm days, followed by cool days, Snowpack testing isn’t done on the Kalum and Copper rivers which feed into the Skeena, but the regional provin- cial environment office in Smithers is keeping an eye on Siri rivers. The snow is measured near the headwaters of rivers that feed into the area. “It’s a big problem getting information on the Terrace SAFEWAY FOOD & DRUG area,’’ says Len Barak, who looks after water leveis in this * Assorted varieties * BONELESS region for the environment ministry. There were some high ® FIRST ONE ° nv Q ae snowfalls in the Terrace area, and he’s not sure what that means for the rivers. Barak can get a good idea of what to expect by what hap- pens upstream. Generally small watersheds respond very quickly to warm weather, while major rivers like the Skeena take longer to react. \ Barak says Terrace residents will likely sce two distine- tive crests in the Skeena River between mid-May and mid- June. The first one will be a result of the lower elevation snow melting off, while the second one will be the upper elevation snow. It's difficult to determine when that will happen, since some river basins are in the shade and will melt off slower. Barak said fall rains usually cause the Skeena to rise faster than during spring runoff times. e The Skeena has just recently started to rise.
