Waste management branch spokesman Terry. Roberts said the February dump fire is one of . the reasons the ministry is call- ing for tighter. control ‘and monitoring of the dump. The ‘fire is still under investigation, but no charges have been laid so ’ “It was one of the things that ~ led us to believe a change was . required, ”* he said, The requirement that an at- tendant be at the dump at all times is one of the proposed amendments to the city" S$ waste “Night hunting offence - « “draws fine. Suspension TERRACE — The stiff sentence handed to a man caught hunting at night with lights demonstrates “‘nit- lamping”’: offences are being | taken seriously, says a local conservation officer. Kitimat hunter Andrew Re- jezak was found guilty after a three and a half hour trial last Thursday. Judge E, Lloyd Iver- son fined Rejczak $1,000, ordered him to forfeit a 7-mom hunting rifle valued at $700, and prohibited him from hun- | ting for five years. “It's quite encouraging to see this kind of sentence,’’ said district conservation officer Peter Kalina, ‘It should serve as a deterrent to other like- minded individuals. This is one of the. more serious offences under the B.C. Wildlife Act.’' Pit-lampers use high-intensity spotlights to find animals and polreeze them understhe ‘glare: of sate light while they sisar=* 7 re " *Kajina ‘said Rejczak. hail. his’ “10-year-old son help commit the ; dumped or on management permit for the dump. But mayor Jack Talstra ob- jects to that condition, saying it would be expensive. “The goal posts of the permit keep moving. on. us,"'- Talstra said, adding: that he. had no argument. with tightening up control of the dump. “But the bottom line always translates to more money,” ; He noted the proposal comes at a time when the province is telling the city to hold the line on residential taxes, No agreement has been reach- ed yet on the new dump permit, but Roberts said he expected it would be wrapped up in. the next week or 50. He said. the investigation of the February dump fire is not offence by holding the light. “This type of offence just can't be condoned,” he said. “Anytime something like this happens, it’s the legal hunting community, along with the resource, that suffers,” Rejczak was charged along with three other hunters from Terrace following a Nov. 10-12 pit-lamping sting operation. Conservation officers videotaped and photographed being used” ‘as a. ’stick. council to agree to the mit conditions, But he said prosecution city for similar incidents in the future would be a “higher pro- bability with nobody there than ‘with somebody there,’” Roberts” said the ministry would like to eventually see one dump for greater Terrace. — probably the one’ in Thornhill run by the regional district. — with both the city and regional district paying for it. “There are two refuse sites "and it's our feeling that really ultimately there should be one,” he said, ‘It doesn't make sense to have two.a few miles - apart with what amounts to . competition between the two of them for limited tax « dollars.”" ‘i the hunters shining. lights on, and shooting at, mechanical wildlife decoys, Kalina said the other three are to appear in court in May, and he said pit-lamping charges are pending against .three other hunters as a result of the:same investigation, “T was taken back by the number of people engaged in this type of activity,” he ‘added.
