Bear killer hunt widens

TERRACE — Conservation of-
ficers here are working with
authorities in Quebec to have
poaching charges laid against a
man believed responsible for a
northwest grizzly bear killing
last year,

Peter Kalina said last week the
man sought is believed to have
moved to Quebec following the
bear shooting last fall.

man returned to B.C. to face

charges of poaching and expor- |

Northwest bears make for a

busy summer for the Skeena
region’s two conservation of-
ficers — who last year received
more than 200 bear complaints.

Contracting out bear removal
is expected to reduce the load on
the conservation officers, who
say they are forced to concen-
trate on high use areas at the
neglect of more remote areas,

‘it’s no secret that two men
covering 25,000 square miles is
laughable,”’ Kalina explained.

So far there is no word on
possible increases to conserva-
tion ‘officers in. the riorthwest,

Recycling
project —

TERRACE — Students plann-
ing to recycle paper at Skeena
Jr, Secondary school may have
overcome the biggest problem
in the north associated with
such projects ~ the high cost of
transportation to the south,

The local Safeway store may
be able to ‘arrange to send
recycled paper back to markets
in Vancouver on ‘its ‘empty
trucks, ‘says Dan Houpt,. the
Skeena science teacher organiz~
ing the project,

Safeway manager Bric Johan-
son says logistics are still being
worked out and the plan needs
head office approval.

“We have the room — that’s
no problem,” he said, ‘“‘We pay
a small amount for backhaul,
but it’s very minimal,’* he ex-
plained, adding the sale of the
paper would probably more
than cover the transportation
costs.

Johanson said any money left
after paying transportation
costs would likely be turned
over to the school,

Houpt says large amounts of
high-quality paper are thrown
out each day at area schools,

He said last week boxes of
paper have been piling up in a

House building
hits its peak

TERRACE — The number of
permit applications for new
homes seems to have peaked for
the year, building inspector Bob
Lafleur said last week,

He said 45 permits have been
issued while another three are
waiting to be processed.

“Everybody that’s going to
build this year has probably
made up their minds by now,”
said Lafletir.". -” ~ ae

And although the rush may
be over, the figure is con-
siderably higher than last year
when 32 permits were issued.
At the same time, the number

already a quarter of the way: to
their goal of collecting a tonne
and a half of paper.

“The kids are really hyped
about this,"’ he said. ‘They feel
this is already on the way to
becoming a much bigger
thing,” ee

Other schools and businesses
are indicating they also want to
get involved, he said. Stewart
Secondary School in Stewart,
Mount Elizabeth Secondary in
Kitimat, and Booth ‘Memorial
Jr. Secondary in Prince Rupert
have all expressed interest.

He said the students are aim-
ing to have enough collected to
send it to Vancouver near the
end of June. If extra space was
available on the truck at that
time, he said students might
organize a newsprint collection
one weekend before the ship-
ment to send away local
newsprint, for which there is no
local recycling depot. .

The school board is now con- .
sidering his suggestion that it

district to join the project.
