EY ae on, Pr A Paka te | omy ns A et a eee TERRACE — Provincial pro- secutors have decided not to lay charges of illegal fishing against environmentalist Dr. David Suzuki. Suzuki was being investigated for alleged illegal steelhead fishing on the Yakoun River.on - the Queen Charlotte Islands, He was fishing there with Haida leader Miles Richardson and - another person. The three are being given warnings. Conservation officers recom- mended charges be laid in the. - ease last spring. Crown pro- ’ secutors spent the Jast six mon- ths deciding whether to go ahead and lay charges or not. “We've examined the case, we've looked at the cir- cumstances of it, the available evidence, and we took a look at the Sparrow case and made a charge for fishing decision that a warning notice would be the appropriate way to go there,’’ Crown prosecutor Peter Ewert said last week. “We are not proceeding with charges in relation to that.’’ ~ .- Inthe Sparrow case, Supreme Court justices unanimously rul- ed natives get priority over all other. users and only conserva- tion of stocks can prevent them from fishing. Ewert said the ruling: ‘resulted in. a‘ similar decision to not charge Haisla chief Gerald Amos and two other Kitamaat Village natives. in connection with an illegal gill net fishing in- cident earlier this year. Three salmon were caughit when Haisla natives strung,a gill net across the Kitimat river this spring. Native organizers staged the event to make a political point.

But what was streaming out behind the helicopter. was grass seed, not chemicals. -Bob Wilson, silviculture of- ficer. for the Kalum forest district, said the operation in- volved spraying a 10ha logged- off block near the mouth of the Lakelse River with a mixture of two types of clover and bird’s foot tree. foil. The ministry hopes the clover will establish a mat over the area — it was burned off last fall — and slow the growth of brush. Seedlings could also benefit because “clovers fix nitrogen and enrich the soil,” he added. That should redress any nutrient deficiencies on the site and help the growth of the seedlings in the early stages. Wilson said if the results con- firm this natural process works, clover seeding would replace current fertilization programs. Finally, the covering could heip alleviate potential erosion problems by binding the soil together. While the success of the ex- periment obviously depended on how well the seed ger- minated, he said there was cause for optimism because sowing was immediately followed by showery weather. Wilson said it will be three years before the ministry can -1. x COME TO THE B.V. FALL FAIR Mouth Watering Pies August 24, 25, 26 Bulkley Valley Exhibition - The Show of the North aes) Smithers, B.C.
