Observers making headway

TERRACE -- After a rocky start,

the program which puts observers

aboard commercial fishing boats
operating ucar the. mouth of the
Skeena River is. gradually im-
Proving.

That's the assessment of Robert
Brown,

_way last month.

The voluntéers are placed on.

“randomly selected’ boats in the
commercial fleet where they keep
track of how many steclhead are
‘caught and die in the nets.

co-ordinator of the
volunteer effort which got under.

The idea is to prove or disprave
sportsfishermen’s long held claim
the ficet. is responsible for the
decline in steelhead retums to the
Skeena.

. Deseribing the first day as ‘a
debacle”, Brown, said. only four
observers were placed on boats, .

The. effort was hampered by
Victnamese crews who did not

“understand English and ‘a lot of

skippers (who) ‘don't even know
about the program,” he’ ex-
‘plained.

A lack of preparation and-an. old

Lab techs gather

TERRACE — Mare. than 300
health care professionals. are ex-
pected to converge on, Terrace
next month when the Northwest
Academy of Medical Labatatory
_Technologists host Outreach 792.
The Sept. ‘16-19 ‘gathering. will
be the first time the technologists’
provincial body has held its an-

nual congress’ in the northwest, ©
Says Kirsten Earl, member of the.

organizing committee,

, And that’s ‘a big plus as far as
technologists located in the narth
are concerned, she added,

‘She explained professionals in.
this region usually. had to travel ~

south to lake advantage of the ed-
ucational 2
events offered. °

That's. an expensive proposi-.”

tion, she added,’
“Holding tlie congress in Terrace

. would: also allow members from

‘elsewhere to sec- the northwest

opportunities ~ such

and what it had to offer.

Ear] said the more than 50
‘speakers scheduled to appear
came around the province, across
the country and even the United
States,

_ She pointed out local health
care professionals unable. to at-
tend the entire congress could
take in individual lectures fora
$10 fee,

The event-will also feature a 60-
booth exhibition covering medi-

_ cal products and information.
‘The major part of the congress , -

including ‘the exhibition, will be
held in the Inn of the West with

some lectures being scheduled for,

the Terrace Inn.

' Earl said the regional academy
was sccking financial support
from local corporations and

businesses to ensure the event
broke even.

and inadequate water taxi also

contribuled ta the problems expe-

rienced that first day, he added.
Since then, things have im-

proved wilh up to 15 observers at |

a tine gelling on the boats.
Despite the improvement,
Brown is still concerned the sum-

inet.run sicelhead are being hard

hit by the gillnetters.
He said the federal Department

of Fisheries and Oceans (DFQ) —

had indicaled it would restrict
commercial openings to three
days a-weck this-season to case
ihe pressure on those fish, but

that’s simply not happening.
Claiming the fect was actually
operating closer to four days a
week, he maintained the result
was “‘the same number of boats
fishing the same amaunt of time”

. as last year.

However, Brown suggested the:
‘ steelhead) rum may get . some
* gelieve owing to the price of fish

targetted by the commercial fleet.

With processor paying only 25
cenis per Ib. for pink salmon, he
anticipated many of the boats
would head south to pursue the
more lucrative sockeye,
