gm Paint box

LOCAL RESIDENTS taking advantage of the June 18 col lection here dropped off 750 litres of used paint “We were prepared for a lot more," said Steve Cummings (seen above), one of the crew of three operating the collection.

Any usable paint deposited at the collection was available, free of charge, to anyone who wanted to take it. “We only have two cans left," Cummings pointed out at the end of the six hour session. “People were going away disappointed.

Fish tagging going fine

THE KALUM chinook radio tag- ging program is proving a big success, says Doug Webb, outgo- ing president of the Terrace Sal- monid Enhancement Society.

Initiated by the society and the North Coast Co-Management Committee, the program is trying to find out where the early run of Kalum chinook go once in the river,

“T’s been a puzzle for a long time,”? Webb explained.

Financed through the federal government’s Green Plan, the project involved using part-time workers and volunteer sports fishermen to catch and tag the fish. To date, he added, 53 sal- moa have been tagged.

Webb said their progress through the system will be monitored using four fixed site receivers placed along the Kalum River and Lake.

The results should show whether the spawning grounds of these early run chinook are in tributaries of the Kalum or if some spawn in the mainstem.

That kind of knowledge would prove useful when it comes to selting fishing regulations for the river,

Webb pointed out the tagging project was just one of many carried out by the society through its Deep Creek Hatchery.

Under the Canada-US fisheries treaty, the Lower Kalum chinook are classified as an indicator species, lhe only one on the north coast, he added.

Last year the hatchery raiscs 200,000 fry, tagging them before release, Webb explained the tags help federal fisherics biologists find out where these fish were eventually being caught and who was catching them. The program also provided valuable informa- lion on chinook population tends,

The fry produced from fast year’s egg collection are now being released, he added.

The hatchery also carries out annual tagging of returning adults — 1,448 in 1994 — followed by a carcass count which allowed an estimate of the Kalum chinook population, Webb said last year’s count indicated it was around 12,000.

Another project involyed hatch- ing and rearing chinook from the Cedar River, a tributary of the Kalum. Soon to be released arc 25,000 fry from last year’s egg collection while another 75,000 will be held in the Deep Creek rearing ponds until next spring. |

Webb said the plan is to fin clip these fish so that all hatchery pro- ducts are marked,

While there. is‘no. doubting the value of the hatchery in produc- ing fish, he emphasized it also of-

fers benefits as a tourist attraction and an educational tool for local teachers.

While the future of the hatchery appeared assured so Jong as it is needed to da ‘chinook assessment work on the Kalum, Webb pointed to noted recent cuts in the federal fisheries budget.

Apart from continuing to raise money locally through raffles and donations, he said the society should be exploring other ave- nues as well.

For example, stream restora- tion, environmental monitoring and stream surveys could be op- erated out of the hatchery.

Another possibility was work-

ing with Northwest Community.

College and the University of Northem B.C. to develop a

fisheries research program based on the hatchery.

Booze no excuse for crimes

BEING DRUNK can’t be used as an excuse anymore when com- mitting violent crimes.

Federal MPs last week ap- proved a bill banning extreme in- toxication or being high on drugs as a defence against serious crimes such as sexual assault, as- aault and manslaughter.

.- The bill was a response fast fall

to outrage when the Supreme Court of Canada set aside the conviction of man for sexually

‘assaulting a wheelehair-bound 65 year old woman.

Supreme’ Court justices said ex- treme drunkenness could be a defence based on confirmation in court from medical experts.

- That ruling sparked five more

cases in which people got away with committing violent crime by using the defence.

The bill must now go through the Senate and be given royal as- sent.

Also passed by MPs last week was a bill allowing police to force violent suspects to give hair, saliva or blood samples for DNA

testing. .

Matching DNA samples with those taken from scencs of a crime is being regarded by police forces as an almost fool proof way of identifying people who commit violent crimes,

Warrants ordering suspects to give DNA samples will be given if police show there are rea- sonable grounds a person has committed the offence.

DNA testing, for instance, is

. figuring prominently in the OJ. Simpson murder trial.

In a third significant justice event last week, royal assent was given to a law that doubles the sentence of juveniles who commit murder to 10 years.

Other amendments to the Young Offenders Act also mean that 16- and 17-year-olds charged with serious crimes will be raised to adult court. ae

Youths will still be tried as Young Offenders if defence law- yers can make compelling argu- ments,
