That's how. ‘regional district

Directors decided ‘at. their

Skeena hatchery possibility

TERRACE — A_ sicelhead
hatchery on the. Skeena is not out
of the question, say federal
fisheries officials.

“tA hatchery is something werd
took at, but to say we're going to
do ‘it is, really: premature,’’. said
DFO spokesman David Bevan.

Federal ‘fisheries officials are
throwing $14 million at the con-

 tentious Skeena: fishery dispute,

Habitat enhancement, stock re-

options. »

The program also calls for an
independent scientific review of
all information about Skeena
stocks,

The ultimate goal, says Bevan,
is to be able to harvest stronger
stocks {o full potential — on a
sustainable basis — while pro-
tecting weaker stocks,

“We want to find a way

Bevan said.

TERRACE — If it’s left to
market forces to decide how
wood supply . problems are
solved, some northwestem com-
munities could be ‘hurt hard?’

‘That warning was issued last
week by Roger Stanyer, special
_assistant to the deputy 1 minister of
forests.

He was in town to release a
report which . compared — the
region’s mill capacity and timber
supply.

‘The figures in that report came
as no. surprise: capacity. sig-
nificantly exceeds supply.

added, ‘*It’s your issue.’? -

Recalling his tour of the north-

Death, injury stats

Cemey said that scooting

so high wasn’t possible because

‘of varying factors throughout the

area,

areas than urban settings.
Alcohol. was also frequently
cited as .a. key. injury factor. As
one respondent said, ‘Violence is

almost always linked to drugs and

alcohol use.”?

. For example, one ‘in five’ traffic
injuries in 1991 were alcohol-
related, according to the motor
vehicle branch.

While there are organizations

Stanyer suggested - norih-
westerners would be better off
working together to come up with
a solution to the supply problem.
That would include dropping

ber supply centre-only be pro-
cessed by mills in that TSA.
That call was ectioed by minis-
try official Nick Crisp.
Pointing: out there already ex-
