from a drop off by a corner just past Daybreak Farms, Water ac-
cumulates in a pond below the road in the spring and summer.

Residents had becn lobbying for barriers or for the pond to be
drained,

Highways minisiry official Glen Overholt said an engineering
study determined where the barriers should be put to meet ministry
standards.

limit in order to drive the road safely,

Charges laid against guide

NEARLY 60 charges have been laid against a hunting guide who
operates in the Skeena region.

Charges against Prince Rupert guide-outfitter Robert Milligan,
owncr of Coast Mountain Outfitters, includes hunting during a
closed scason, pitlamping, illegal possession of dead wildlife, il-
legal import of wildlife into Canada, and providing false informa-
tion to conservation officers.

“We've been working on this one for at least 18 months,”’ said
Terrace conservation officer Doug Forsdick.

Conservation officeys allege Milligan’s activities included illegal-
ly guiding American and German big-game trophy hunters to hunt
grizzly bears, black bears, wolverines, wolves, and mountain goats,
Milligan is alleged to have guided hunters into Alaska as well.

Forsdick said it’s believed some bears shot there were illegally
imported into Canada.

Assisting in the investigation are agents from the U.S, Fish and
Wildlife Service, as well as Alaska State troopers and the RCMP,

Milligan’s guiding territory runs from Prince Rupert to Stewart to
the Hazeltons area and south of Kitimat,

That long distance feeling

A TELEVISED peck at how the University of Northern B.C. will
connect instructors in one part of the north with students in other
cities is planned here Dee. 2.

It'll be a demonstration of what UNBC calls videoconferencing i in
thal studeats will be able to take courses by watching and listening
to instructors in other places,

The demonstration will connect Terrace with Prince George and
Quesnel using television hookups transmitted through phone lines
with equipment provided by the provincial government’s B.C. Sys-
tems Corporation.

The system becomes official in January when UNBC will offer 13
courses via the video connection, Four of those courses will
originate here.

A similar system is being tested between the University of Vic-
toria and East Koolenay Community College in Cranbrook but this
is the first time in B.C. courses will involve three communilies.
‘Also involved are Northwest Communily College and the College
of New Caledonia. ;

Crime
target
of new
effort

TERRACE AND area will have a
new program to stop crlme early
in the new year.

Crimestoppers, popular in many
other arcas, will involve a phone
line so people can give informa-
tion on criminal activity and
receive a reward in retura.

I'll be similar to the current
Vandal Watch program but ex-
panded to colicit information on
all sorts of crime, says Staff
Sergeant John Veldman of the
Terrace RCMP detachment.

As with Vandal Watch,
Crimestoppers will ensure the
anonymily of those reporting
crimes, he said,

“The determination of a reward
will be made by a group of
people that docs not include the
police. This will be done in such
a way that the identity of the per-
son is not known,” Veldman
added.

An RCMP officer has been
given the task of searching out
the procedures of other
Crimestoppers to help set up the
one here,

Crimestoppers has been in
Prince Rupert for some years and
Kitimat recently began one.

‘We are hopeful itll be effec-
tive. Vandal Watch had the suc-
cess we wanted and we think we
can do better by going to
Crimestoppers,”” said Veldman.

- Vandal Watch solicited in-

‘formation on acts of vandalism*

by asking people to phone a num-
ber and leave a message on an
answering machine. ,

Although that did work, Veld-
man says efforts will be made to
have people speak to a human
being with Crimestoppers.

**Some people don’t tike to talk

. to tape machines. We'd like to

have a system where for certain
times of the day, there'll be per-
sonal service,’’ he said.

Veldman said that planning will
involve soliciting money to be
used as a reward pool,

“Hopefully ia January we'll be
able to have information together
so we can procced,”’ he said.
