The hatchery grounds are leased from the city (the site once supplied water for the city) and it is run under the salmonid enhancement ‘program of the ~ federal fisheries department. “It’ll give us a little more teeth in what we would like to do. The board will now do work that up until now has been by . yolunteers,’* said Taft, He add- ed that the hatchery operations will remain under the overall sponsorship of the salmonid enhancement program. — . Several organization meetings for’ the society have taken place and members are now awaiting its non-profit registration number. The hatchery specializes in taking coho eggs, hatching them * and releasing the fry into local waters and has lately been ex- perimenting with chum. ‘ Over the years, volunteers have undertaken specific enhancement projects on specific local rivers and creeks. « There are now 40,000 coho at the hatchery that have been nose-tagged and are awaiting release this summer. A further 300,000 coho eggs are just in the hatching stage. Retired fish farmer Alois Schillinger,, one of the board members, said the hatchery is very efficient for its size. “7 have to say that more its size, it produces a tremendous amount of fish,” he said. Schillinger added that its groundwater source provides a secure supply of cold water that is not in danger of being con- ‘taminated by pollutants, He said one of the benefits of being involved with the hat- chery is that the fish he catches one day may have been one of thase he helped raise. “Nuclear medicine coming TERRACE — Construction of a more than $200,000 nuclear medicine facility at Mills Memorial Hospital is going out to tender this week, hospital chief executive officer Michael Leisinger. “We should be treating our first patient with it June 4," he said, ~ The completed centre will of- . ‘fer advanced testing using radioactive isotopes to detect il- Iness and growths and conduct brain and lung scans.
