kills TERRACE — Nearly 32 per cent of motor vehicle crashes resulting in death or in- ury in 1991 involved unsafe speeds, says the Insurance Cor-

poration of British Columbia. And that’s more than the

cent.

The . statistics ‘show were 123 crashes tied to unsafe speeds that resulted in death o or | injuries, -

- {In the northwest, there were 487 crashes resulting in death of injury for 27.7 per cent of all motor vehicle. accidents.

.Provincial figures show a slight. increase from 1982 — when-17.2 per cent.of crashes

- The figures’ were released as part.of an April 7-14 campaign by, ‘police ‘to crack dawn on those'who drive too fast.

Hatchery to close

TERRACE — The Deep Creek fish hatchery will close its doors inearly June.

Terrace Salmonid Enhancement Society (TSES) president Doug “Webb made that announcement last week following news the fed-- eral Department of Fisheries and Oceans was pulling the plug on. the operation.

The future of the “society- operated : hatchery. has. been in doubt since- June of last - year when it was told its annual con- tracls DFO ‘contracts would not be renewed.

Following a storm of public protest, petitions of support for the hatchery and a letter-writing campaign’ aimed at. federal Fisheries minister John Crosbie, the DFO relented to some extent, coming up with grants totalling $51,000. ;

However, officials warned the socicty at that time. there was no commitment -to. provide any money beyond March 31 of this year.

In an effort at compromise, TSES proposed a significantly

scaled down halchery operation and to raise $40,000 itself towards the cost of running it.

As a result, Webb said this

year's grant request for the Deep.

Creck” facility. was. for only $52,000, less than half the pre- vious amount

‘However, the DFO rejected the application, agreeing only to renew @ $60,000 contract to count

_ Kalum river system chinook. —

However, that contract is quite separate from the hatchery opera- tion and therefore the $60,000 doesn’t help keep Deep Creek open,

Therefore, © Webb ’ said, the society had to lay off Jorma Jyrk- kanen, its sole employee, last weck and is now totally depen- dent on volunteers.” |

And, with 400,000 chinook and coho. fry still at the hatchery, Ihose -velunicers - arc needed. ,

Webb said the fry would be fed and monitored until they were large enough to be nose tagged and released.

Anti-Kemanoites get govt money

TERRACE — The province will give ‘native and public interest groups up to $250,000 to help them participate in the. public review of the Kemano Comple- tion Project.

‘Broad public participation leas to better. decisions and ultimately benefits everyone,’’ energy minister Anne Edwards

said, ‘‘Public interest gropps, and |

natives should not be excluded from this review due to a lack of resources.’

Groups must mect a set of criteria set out by the government to be eligible for money. -

The special grants would eneble groups to pay for: hiring of ex- perts: to testify. at the review; travel, meals and accommodation at government union rates; child- are up to $50 a day; $175 per
