Bear season draws warning to pick up your rotting fruit FITHER .PICK the fmit from your irecs or chop them down, says a lacal conservation officer, Dale Ryan made the com- ment now that bear season is in full swing, Rotting fruit can be a hazard to neighbourhood children because it attracts bears, Conservation officers shot nine black bears on the Aug. 28 to Aug. 30 weckend alone. .A sow and (wo cubs in the $200 block of Soucie Ave- mie were killed and three bears were shot on the bench near Uplands Nurs- ery. “The bears were showing no fear and there were lots of kids in the area,’ said Ryan. Officers then trapped and shot a large male bear near the Desiderata Hotel and two more bears in New - Remo.. Ryan expects complaints and sightings to drop now that September is here, But one bear near Queens- way was trapped last Tues- day and by last Wednesday Morming, a sow was caught and her three cubs were ex- pected to be. close by. Complaints have also come from the Thornhill area, but they might be re- lated to the Queensway sighting since bears can roam large areas, Black bears, said Ryan, need to be shot because lo- cal offices don’t have the money {to relocate them, Drug charges laid RCMP HAVE charged a Lazelle Ave. resident after officers say they seized a quantity of marijuana and heroin from® his home Aug. 29, ' ~ Police allege Gordon Dale Holland, 44, bad 381 grams of marijuana. and--a--small amount of heroin on_ his premises.

Gr, if you prefer, enjoy zero down, no inlerest and na CONSERVATION OFFICERS Adrian Juch and Dale Ryan have been busy responding to bear complaints in the area. They now hope things will calm down.: whereas _— grizzly and kermode bears are moved for conservation reasons. And, he said, moving a biack bear to the woods would just push a less domi- nant bear back into town. “It (shooting bears} is definitely the least favourite Part of my job,’? Ryan said, Officers take bear car- casses to decompose in a safe place where birds and smaller animals can use the fur. But carcasses are also buried in local dumps - so that larger animals won't be attracted to them. As of Aug. 25, conserva- tion officers received 106 bear complaints in Terrace and attended eight sightings. Previous to the Aug. 28 weekend, conservation of- ficers destroyed only two bears, with another 15 bears killed by area residents. Though August was busy, Ryan said the number of bear sightings in Terrace has dropped since last year. And Terrace bears seem mote attracted to fruit trees than Kitimat bears who are found near garbage.
