Tavens Barry Saunders, the branch's com mercial wildlife specialist, said in Vic toria he foresees nochange in policy “We're not crazy about its use,"’ he said. **But it’s a necessary evil." Road-kills said tasty FREDERICTON (CP) — Patrick Kehoe prefers his porcupine once over lightly — run over lightly that is. Kehoe is a road-kill gourmet and he'd be the first to tell you that an 18-wheeler puts up a poor carcass. “Road pizzas,” he says with a sigh, thinking of all the delicacies that have been flattened by trucks. Kehoe, a wildlife biologist with New Brunswick's Natural Resources Department, likes his road-kill fresh and tidy. He'll eat anything except skunk ... and yogurt. “1 stay right away from that stuff. If a semi-trailer tipped over with yogurt, I wouldn’t even go near it.” But-roasted-taceoon,-sauted- squirrel, pan-fried porcupine, barbecued bobcat — it’s all fair game for the adventurous palate of this ebullient biologist COAST TOCOAST Kehoe sees the Trans-Canada Highway as one long smorgasbord, a coast-to-coast counter of unexplored culinary delights and unusual daily specials. He ignores the disgusted looks people give him when they find out about his diet He figures it doesn’t matter how an animal is killed, whether on the road, on a trapping lineor in an abattoir The important thing is the preparation and cooking of the meat. ? “The real-secret to preparing any wild meat, in cluding road-kills, is making sufe you know how to cook i.°* A major problem for road-kill aficionados is provincial game laws FROGS ILLEGAL Kehoe was almost arrested once when he stopped to scoop up some squashed bullfrogs that had unsuc- cessfully attempted to migrate across a causeway in southern Ontario. It turns out there’s a limited frog-hunting season in Ontario and Kehoe, catight red-handed with a couple of longe-legged croakers, was clearly in violation of the A few weeks ago, a woman who works with Kehoe Spotted a dead coyote on the side of the road, She pulled over and loaded it into the trunk of her car, figuring I looked like something Kehoe would appreciate The-next morning, her-husband went to the car, opened the trunk and was greeted by the snarling, very much alive and very angoyed coyote. The animal had only been stunned. “I don’t know howmany road-kills she's going (0 be good for any more, but she tried,” says Kehoe with a chuckle, Kehoe started eatirig road-kills years ago when he was working as a field biologist in Manitoba He had a good appetite but not much money so he and his buddies started to look at the dead animals they passed on the highway iff@newelight; sort Of a road-side buffet Since then, he has sampled road-kill specials front one end of Canada to the other PRAIRIES BEST Kehoe ‘finds the pickings _best_on-the Prairies, especially southwestern Manitoba and southern Saskat chewan. There's lost of wildlife there, he say, and laws about collecting road-kills are more lax than in other parts of Canada, He finds New Brunswick pretty dull on the whole mostly porcupines, rabbits and partridge Kehoe says early spring is the best time of the year to be on the prowl for fresh road-kill “The temperature is about right and thei alot of animals coming out of hibernation that tend to be a little dopey = they tend to get greased pretty easily on the highways,” he says, almost audibly smacking his lips “It’s a real road-kill bonanza out there for the next month or so.” — Kehoe eats maitily the hindquarters and loins of road-kills and he favors oriental and. cajun-style cooking: spicy gumbos and stir-fried dishes with lots of vegetables He says his cooking has won over even his most skeptical friends. “Quite often I've had people over for dinner and set them down to a meal of porcupine and they've gone back for asecond helping. aw He got away that time, but he worries about being thrown in jail. “1 couldn’t think of anything more embarrassing, especially for a wildlife biologist, than to be busted for picking uparoad-kill. “It just wouldn’t look good on the resume.”” Kehoe and his friends scour-the-roads-for-fresh kills, carcasses that have been there no more thana few hours.

No cure for ME LONDON (Reuter) A mysterious, debilitating illness with no known cure is blighting the lives of thousands of sufferers in Britain and elsewhere, doctors say Victims of the disorder, tagged *tyuppie flu’? but formally called myalgic encephalomyelities or ME, suffer from chronic exhaustion and muscle pain, Many are forced wo give up work and sacrifice years of their lives in the struggle to get better Routine chores turn into endurance tests. Sufferers become moody and irritable and have trouble “concen trating, remembering things.and_fin- ding the right word. “Tl be talking and my mid sort of Torgets What I was going To say,"*-said 49-year-old Felice Corcoran, who has suffered from ME for four years. “It’s an effort at the mement to get dressed and choose something to wear It’s embarrassing — you feel like such a wimp when you had a very active life before.”” Publicity, particularly in Britain, the United States, Australia and’ New Zealand, has generated. public. sym pathy for ME sufferers, who were previously branded malingerers or told the disease was all in the mind. Experts agree the illness is often triggered by an initial flu-like virus that normal people shrug off within a few days. But ME ofter run down by stress and over-exertion find-their-immune-systems-mabte-to shake off the bug Shattered ‘self-confidence and depression go hand in hand with physicalsympiome-such—as lethargy, aching limbs, swelling and soreness Many sufferers are young, active in dividuals in challenging jobs — hence the “yuppie flu’ tag Experts say-most-ME. sufferers are victims women — possibly because they are of Temtess witting-or abte than Men TO Test completely when they fall ill “I think the housewife’s more likely to collapse because she’s got to get the kids to school, she’s got to get the ineals ready... she's got a series OF "got tos’ all day long which me: she can't stop,”’ said Prof. s Mowbray of St. Mary's Hospital in London. LONG ILLNESS Mowbray estimates the number of ME. 4ufférers in Britain at about 100,000 and says some people can have the ‘disease as long as 30 years, although most recover within 12 mon- ths. Dr. Belinda Dawes, a former ME sufferer. who-now_runs_.a_specialist clinic in London, says her patients are usually high achievers. who. set ‘them- selves ambitious goats and-find-them- selves struggling to reach them “I's certainly the mentality that drives, that says ‘OK, if 1 can do this, I can do better,’”” says Dawes. ‘And it keeps driving, and when. it gets flu, it doesn’t go to bed for a week, it goes to bed for 24 hours and then keeps on pushing.”* Doctors say ME is neither fatal nor contagious. Most patients get better eventually — but sometimes only after years of being bed-ridden or ex- perimenting with alternative cures such as acupuncture. « “When you've tramped around for eight years, you're willing to try everything that has at least some basis in science,” said 47:year-old Megan tinwood;—a—Dawes—patient whois slowly returning to full fitness after being ill for 12 years. NO QUICK DRUG There is no anti-viral drug for ME, and doctors can do little more than recommend complete rest. At Dawes’s private London clinic, patients are treated for allergies, given vitamin C infusions, and take drugs to destroy candida, a yeasty substance in the intestines that may aggravate the bowel upsets common in ME sufferers.
