MOOSE CARCASSES tell the tale of poaching in the Nass Valley, A

Sharp increase in Iilegal kills has prompted the environment
ralnistry ta bring in extra conservation officers — like Smithers of-
ficer Kelly Dahl above — to patrol the region.

TERRACE — Increased moose
poaching north of Terrace has
resulted in extra conservation
Officers being brought in to
patrol the region.

‘*There’s been quite a number

of illegal moose kills lately,’

said conservation officer Peter
Kalina last week. Up to six of-
ficers from across the Skeena
region have been added to help
patrol the area.

Over the last two weeks, he
said, conservation officers have
found evidence of more than 20
suspected moose poachings in
. the Kalum Lake area and north
into the Nass valley.

Charges are being recom-
- mended against three people

, TERRACE — Nearly 50 moose

have been killed by CN trains so

_ far this year in the northwest,
_ Says a spokesman for the

federal crown corporation.

_ Al Menard said moose often
break through the. high
snowbanks created by plowing
the tracks and are then trapped
because they can’t climb out.

The great majority of the kills
have taken place between
Smithers and Endako, he said.
In January, 36 kills were
reported to conservation of-
ficers and the number to date in

suspected in one of the
poachings, Kalina said, but not
enough evidence now exists to
charge any other suspects.

The poachings are taking on a
more deliberate character, he
added, with more shootings at
night. ‘‘They’re getting a little
more refined, it seems.”

He attributed the increase in
the number of kills to the heavy
recent snowfalls. ‘‘As soon as
we get this kind of snow it
drives them out towards the
roads and the low-lying areas,
And then they’re very suscepti-
ble to shooters,’ he explained.
‘‘And unless we get a major
melt it may stay like this until
spring break-up,’”

Trains hit moose |

February is 13.

Menard added the situation
gets worse the heavier the snow
fall is as the snowbanks then
become higher.

‘They (the moose) just can’t
get out, We've tried plowing ex-
its in key moose travelling areas
but that doesn’t seem to help,”
he said,

Other, more exotic, methods
such as experimenting with
high-pitched whistles attached
to the front of locomotives have
not worked, Menard said.

_ Skylink loses suit

TERRACE — Skylink owner
Rafael Zur was unsuccessful’
last week in an effort to sue the
federal government for closing
down his airline,

The government last fall first
suspended and then cancelled
Skylink’s operating certificate
days after seven people were
killed when one of its’ planes
-crashed near the airport here
Sept. 26,

Zur filed suit, saying the

federal government cancelled. : -

his license without first giving
and substantiating its reasons, —

Zur had also asked for and

‘ was in the middle of an appeal

hearing before a civil aviation
tribunal in which he asked for
his licence to be renewed.

That hearing was subsequent-
ly adjourned pending the out-
come of his federal Suit.

’ Witnesses at the hearing
reported deficiencies in record
keeping, false records being
kept and problems with
maintenance,

A final. report into .the cir-
cumstances surrounding the
