A program to determine fish species presence and population status in numerous streams, creeks and rivers which could fall under Protected Area Status has been underway in the West Kootenay since early May Fisheries technicians from the Ministry of Envi- ronment, Lands and Parks spent the summer and fall surveying numerous streams in the area to doc- ument fish populations, habitat, how close to head- waters the various species are established and the mugratory patterns of those species, The ‘Hot Spot’ Inventory program, as it is known, is funded by the Corporate Resource Inventory Initiative (CRID, which is a facet of the Commission on Resources and Environment (CORE) process established by Premier Mike Har- court in January, 1992 CRIT has contributed $50,000 towards the pro. gram this year, with numerous crecks and tributes in both the East and West Kootenays deemed suffi- cently important to inve slugate pnor to determin ing whether resource development in the area should proceed. Many of the streams being studied under the Protected Area Strategy (PAS) compo nent of CORE. “The purpose of the Hot Spot Inventory pro- gram ts to identify fisheries values in streams where potential logging effects could be felt”, says Fisheries Biologist Bob Lindsay, who heads up the program. “This is information which cannot be found on a detailed may of given water body, so field staff literally walk the creek or stream, sam- pling for fish as they go. Detailed measurements of the creek, habitat and fish populations are taken at various reach breaks along the way.” Fisheries Technician Albert Chirico elaborated nel/cross die the fi inthe future” Creek under PAS.” Photo submitted on the information he and partner Don Miller are “We take readings at the different points in the steam where the habitat changes. We'll make nota- tions on obstructions, bed material, surrounding Cover, debris and side channels. We measure and record a number of features: stream, riffle and pool depths and others. Next we draw up a stream chan- section looking downstream and then sample the fish, looking at growth patterns by mea- suring length and taking scale samples to deter- mune age as well as recording the type of rearing habitat where they were located.” Chirico explains that, where possible, the ‘Hot Spot’ Inventory team utilizes an electro-shocker to capture as many species and sizes of fish in as short a time as possible. “It gives the fish a mild ‘shock that soon wears off while allowing us to han- safely.” “This program is important not only to find out how close to the headwaters various Species are but also because it enables us to determine which species will migrate from the streams and creeks into the area lakes, thus allowing for projections on catch quotas and size limitations for sport fishing To date, over 20 creeks and streams have been sur veyed under the ‘Hot Spot’ Inventory Program, among them Lasca Creek, Hasty Creek, Wilson Creek and its tributaries, Clearwater Creek and Grohman “Lasca and Hasty are good examples of pub- lic concern warranting this work”, says Lindsay “People are concerned about resource develop: Ment occuring prior to full knowledge of fish pop ulations in the areas being studied.

John Oakley, Emergency Program Coordinator for the City of Vancouver, and a member of the Legislative Advisory Committee of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, agrees with the intent of the Act, and supports the idea of local governance “Local governments play a critical role in emergency prepared.

They know their communities, they can develop effective emergency plans to meet community needs, and they can act swiftly and directly when lives are at stake The new Act recog- nizes and supports this role.” The Act was developed in consultation with UBCM and with key Provincial ministries with emergency response functions and will bring British Columbia emergency preparedness and response capa- bilities in line with most other Provinces in Canada Crisis averted by KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff Quick thinking on Robson res- ident Hope Kelley's part helped avert a possible crisis.

Similar meetings will also be held in Kaslo, Revelstoke, Golden, Cranbrook and Vale- mont. Starting times for all New members appointed to Task Force on Violence KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff The Task Force on Violence, comprised of eight appointed rep- resentatives from within the com- munity, held its first Meeting of the school term October 27 Superintendent of School Dis- trict No. 9 Everette Surgenor, said the purpose of the commit- tee will be to develop a policy addressing violence in schools The great diversity of committee members, said Surgenor, will be valuable in that it will allow an assortment of insight to be lent to the policy-making process. But Surgenor is also quick to point out that input wouldn't be limited to only committee members. “The input is not limited Input from other groups within the community is certainly wel- comed and encouraged. But it’s a good start.” The Task Force on Violence was formed in response to vio- lence between students at (SHSS) earlier this year. The nine Task Force committee members are School District No. 9 Superinten- dent Everette Surgenor (Chair); School District No. 9 trustee Tony Guglielmi; parents Brenda Parks, Rick Armstrong, Shirley Salekin and Marge Perepolkin; SHSS student Elizabeth Ander- son; CUPE representative Marie Naccarato; and Castlegar and District Teachers Association (CDTA) representative Wende Arnett. A public forum was held May 11 in which submissions were heard from the public and taken into consideration by the Task Force when drafting the Report on Violence At another public meeting held last June, it was decided that a policy-making committee would be struck and would meet after summer break Publication deadlines prevent ed Sun Staff from reporting on details of the October 27 meet ing.

Combined, the benefits could reach more than $200 million a year. The agreements: attached to the construction dates of the dams, are due to lapse in 1998, 1999 and 2003 respectively. the decision to declare a : ; Page 54 prove yourself—attend this!
