INTEREST Plus Chequing Convenience. “A DAILY INTEREST ACCOUNT THAT HAS IT ALL’ VANCOUVER (CP) — Elk cows and calves are being slaughtered by hunters in the East Kootenays because B.C.'s Fish and Wildlife Branch overreacted to ranchers’ that elk are hi: cattle and eating their hay, a Rossland resident claimed Monday. But the region's wildlife biologist called conserva- tionist Bud uy claim garbage. Ray D of C said the Fish anbd Wildlife Branch is issuing more permits to hunt elk cows and calves this year because the elk population is outgrowing the land's capacity to support it. “The degree of over-hunting is nil,” he said. “There is a limited number of permits, and they are confined to specific management areas. And we are very conser- vative in calculating the harvest rate.” The government issued 4,100 permits this year allowing hunters to kill an elk calf, and another 1,416. permits for either a cow or a calf. Anyone with a hunting licence may hunt bull elk during the season,'which was extended to Dec. 16 this year from the normal closing date of Nov. 10. But each hunter is restricted to one elk. A- hunter + with a calf permit who kills a bull may no longer shoot a calf, Demarchi said. HALF THE ELK “Fifty-five hundred cows and calves is probably half the elk in the East Kootenays,” said Muffly, 64, a retired school teacher. But Demarchi said the number of elk killed will be average hunter success rate for elk cows is about 40 pen, cent, ‘and for calves only about 15 per cent, he said. For the last seven years, the total elk population has grown an average of 16 per cent per year, he added. This year, about 7.5 per cent of the elk. cow population is expected to be culled. Muffly said hunters are ‘shooting elk from roads and sometimes not bothering to ‘check to make sure the animals that manage to get away aren't wounded. “The Fish and Wildlife Branch is at cross-purposes,” he said. “On the one hand, they say they're closing roads (in the mountains) to protect the elk and on the other they're allowing 5,500 permits to kill the cows and calves’ which is the breeding Stock.: THANK YOU A special thank you .. . to all ‘those who supported me in the . recent School Board Elections.

The Rebels, who were one point ahead of Beaver Valley after Thursday night's victory for second place in KIJHL standings, were hoping for a victory when they visited Cranbrook on Saturday night.

The Rebels played “just well enough to beat Nelson,” commented Rebels general manager Ron Rebelato who acted as coach along with player Kevin Cheveldave in the absence of coaches Bruno and Ralph Tassone. Rebelato gave Nelson full marks for its performance on the ice. “It could have gone either way for a while,” he said. “Nelson hasn't got that bad of a team.” He added that a few of the players were quite.“chippy.” Referee Bill Savinkoff was lenient for most of the game, but then late in the third period, he made a hooking call to a Nelson player. “They got all choked up and lost their cool and they were their worst enemy,” Rebelato said. “With two minutes to go they were down one goal and after one penalty they fell apart.” The hockey penalty, two 10-minute = 100° peoplegthe-saide-<:- two games penalty iting in a gross was np given to a third player. As well, a bench penalty was given to the Nelson team. But even with Nelson short-handed by two players, in the final minutes of play, the REbels managed only one goal in the third period. Rebelato noted that the Nelson team should be tough in the future. Word around the rink is that Nelson has some talented players returning from injuries and Tier II teams. Rebelato once again expressed his disappointment over the poor attendance. “It's hard to run a team and pay the, pile wt only Sr pai “When you get into a dull game, if you have a gooc crowd at least they are cheering. “you might as well have had an empty arena.

Morris had two assists, and Dan Taylor, Van Goor, John Obetkoff, Dean McKinnon and Stoushnow had one each. In the second period, Steve Voykin, who made some good saves throughout the game, allowed three goals. Mike Corbett, with help from Perehudoff, gave the Rebels one goal for a 5-4 lead.

Horst Bulau wins openers By IAN MacLAINE THUNDER BAY, ONT. (CP) — Horst Bulau won the first World Cup ski-jumping competition of the . seasan Saturday, continuing his domination at Big Thunder by defeating defending cham- pion Matti Nykanen of Fin- land. Bulau, 21, of Ottawa led on both runs down the 70-metre hil with distances of 92 and 91 metres for 239.1 points: His distances were well off the record 98.5 metres team- mate Steve Collins of Thun- der Bay set in 1980 and Bulau equalled in winning the 70- metre World Cup compe- tition last January. Nykanen, 19, had 221.8 points after jumps of 91.5 and 87 metres to edge third place Norwegian teacher Vegard Opas, who compiled 221.7 with jumps of 91.5 and 88.5 metres. Bulau continued to master the hill billed as the largest 70- and 90-metre competitive hills on the international - -cirenit. where he .won both events in 1982 and was first in the 70-metre competition in January when the Cana- dian event was staged mid- way in the first half of the schedule. The victory for Bulau sets up an important showdown today between Bulau and Nykanen on the 90-metre hill, an event the Flying Finn dominated last year to win the overall World Cup title. Bulau said he's hoping for a slow run out of the starting gate today. “I think I can beat Matti when the start speed is slow,” said Bulau, who fin- ished second to Nykanen in the World Cup standings last season following two third- place finishes. Red Mountain lodge has new look By CasNews Staff Red Mountain cs buffs this weekend are taking to the 35-year-old ieee The iounge part of the iodge on the third floor — the last part to be completed in the 4,000 square foot addition — officially opened Saturday morning, said ski operations manager Bob Steckle. The newly-renovated cafeteria on the second floor opened last weekend in time for the ski hill’s official opening day. The renovations also provide Red Mountain with more lockers and new washrooms on the bottom floor. Steckle said approximately 200 new lockers have been installed, brining the total to 700. ; On the second floor the skier finds a new kitchen and washroom facilities, as well as additional seating in the cafeteria. New washrooms and additional seating are also found in the lounge on the third floor. Steckle noted that there hasn't been an increase in space to the lodge in many years. The lodge was built in 1947. Since that time only slight additions have been made. The renovations cost $220,000, but $125,000 of that came from a NEED (New Expansion Employment De- - With more than 50 cm of snow at the top of the mountain and 70 cm at the base, Red Mountain was offer- ing some good skiing this weekend. Season ticket sales are comparable to last year, Steckie said. But he anticipates that Red will be busy at Christmas — “in fact busier than last year, which was a very good Christmas skiing season.” : nd as long as the weather cooperates, Steckle is expecting an increase in visitor traffic, especially because many areas east of Red Mountain have very little snow — at least in the early part of the season. Red Mountain obtains about 50 per cent of its business from groups — mostly from the Calgary area — where snowfalls in the Rockies are not as heavy. the Casth land bus service is not as busy as Red Mountain aah like to see it, Steckle said, although it is continuing to be offered for the third straight year. “We hope that the people will utilize it, as this year will be the testing year,” he said. The bus, which runs on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays also stops at communities between Castlegar and Rossland, such as Trail and Warfield. Red Mountain will be busy the week of Feb. 23-25 when it hosts the men’s Export A Cup downhill velopment) grant and $800 from an oil grant. The balance, $94,200, came from the Red N i ips along with the super giant slalom. Red Racers are the race for the second Society. Also part of the facelift, were new ventilation and sewer systems, and new electrical wiring. The old wiring was found to be inadequate. The past summer has been fairly busy for the summer crews. Besides having additional people working on the building, other projects undertaken were im- provements to some of the trails, rebuilding the snow packing machines and a fairly large maintenance program on the lifts, Steckle said. consecutive year. Steckle said last year's championships gave Red Mountain a considerable amount of exposure and boosted lift ticket sales. Although the downhill championships don’t draw as many skiers as a World Cup event, Steckle said a lot of local interest in the event is created because of the number of local skiers involved — such as Castlegar's Felix Belczyk, and Rossland’s Donald Stevens, Stan Han- son, Chris McIver and Derek Trussler.
