$300,000 per year for helicopters
Heat is on salmon poachers

VANCOUVER (CP) —
“We've got one over here.”

The words, crackling over
air-to-surface radio, send a
fisheries patrol boat churning
from one side of the fast-flow-
ing Fraser River to the
opposite bank where a heli-
copter hovers.

A sunken net is pulled out,
its webs tangling dozens of
rotting salmon.

All but one of about 60 fish
in the poacher's net are dead.

Patrolman Louie Boersma
cuts the struggling fish loose
saying: “We'll give it a
chance to get past the other
nets.

Therapy van
to visit
next week

Occupational therapist,
Ann Thompson, with the Ar-
thritis Society, B.C. Division
will be at the wheel of the
occupational therapy van
when it visits the West
Kootenays.

“The guy must have fig-
ured he was being watched
and was afraid to come back
and get his net.”

The chopper swings up
river and moments later the
voice of spotting officer Kent
Harper comes on the air
again.

“We're landing here to
take a look at this one.”

A sun-faded umbrella tent
is pitched in bush at the
riverbank and the telltale
plastic bottle floats of a net
anchor bob nearby.

“These guys were obvious-
ly working the net,” says
Harper. “They must have
heard us coming and beat it
into the bush.” :

“They're probably back
there now watching us, but
there’s no point in chasing
them. There's nothing we can
do unless we catch them with
the fish.”

The tent looks like an
innocent camper's tent — ex-
cept for oilskins, freckled
with sulmon scales, hung
over a guy rope.

The finds are part of a

treating patients at Castle-
gar on the afternoon of Oct. 1
and the morning of Oct. 2.

The van is fully equipped
for the therapist to make aids
and adaptations for patients
who require this specialized
help to keep them indepen-
dent in their home or work
environment. For many the
therapist will adjust shoes by
special bars and insoles.

At Castlegar, Miss Thomp-
son will treat patients on re-
ferral from their family doc-
tor, with local arragements
being made by occupational

by the federal fisheries de-
partment in the fight against
salmon poachers.

Fisheries authorities have
been criticized for arming
fishery patrols, for harassing
Indian food fishing and for
closures that cut commercial
fishermen’s income in the
name of conservation, but
they estimate 20,000 salmon
a weekend can be taken il-
legally from the 60 kilome-
tres of the Fraser between
Chilliwack and Boston Bar.

Most of it is sold in poor
condition to buyers who don’t

Over 3,200 students

OLI. enrolment up

Over 3,200 students have
enrolled with the Open
Learning Institute for its fall
semester.

According to registrar
Denys Meakin, “This is our
highest enrolment yet, and
there is every indication that
the figure will be still higher
next semester.”

This summer's postal
strike and news of OLI's own
strike were expected to af-
fect enrolment figures signi-
ficantly, but the determin-
ation-of stud to conti

highest enrolment which oc-
curred last January.”

Once again, Introductory
Accounting is OLI's most
popular course, followed by
first-year university liberal
arts courses, and high school
completion courses in core
subjects.

The big news this term is
OLTI's new course in personal
computing, which allows stu-
dents to hook up a loaned
computer to their television
sets to learn basic pro-

ing and con-

their education seems to
have overcome most of the
inevitable delays and incon-
veniences.

“We've been forced to
postpone or cancel a few
courses for this semester due
to strike-related production
delays,” added Meakin, “and
we've had to limit enrolment
in a number of very popular
courses. But in spite of all
these factors, our enrolment
is up from 3,048, our next

sumerism.

OLI is also offering a
non-credit Computer Appli-
cations telecourse in associ-
ation with UBC (CMPT 002),
and a first-year university
computing science course
(CMPT 100).

OLI courses and programs,

Two local men
directors in SICA

The 1981 annual general
meeting of Southern Interior
Construction Association was
held on Sept. 10 at Vernon.

The newly elected execu-
tive of the association is as
follows: chairman, Stephen
Cousins, S.W. Cousins Con-
struction Ltd., Kamloops;
vice-chairman, Jack Borden,
Electrocan Systems Ltd.,
Vernon; secretary-treasurer,
John Hickling, Fred Westen
Construction Ltd., Kelowna
and past chairman, Joe
Sparks, B.A. Blacktop Ltd.,
Kamloops.

Larry Sapriken of Sapri-
ken Bros., Slocan Park is

among the 11 new directors
while Dick McLeod of F.J.
McLeod ‘Ltd., Castlegar is
among the eight continuing
direc:ors.

A seminar was held in the
morning on the new B.C.
Construction Association's
Bid Depository Rules of Pro-
cedure and the Scope of
Work.

The guest speaker at the
evening banquet was Bob
Wheaton of Wheaton Con-
struction Ltd. Victoria, and
chairman of the board of dir-
ectors for B.C. Construction
Association.

five men. It is easy to spot
nets from the air, and it is a

ords and about half are in-
volved in the drug trade,
says fisheries officer Don
Aurel of Hope.

“They're not very nice
people,” adds fisheries war-
den Abe Cremeni, who re-
calls brushes with armed
men on dark roads leading
from the river.

AIR PATROLS HELP

Helicopter rental will cost
the department $300,000 this

tr psy

tool. Every time a helicopter
comes along, whether it's
ours or not, the poachers
think the heat is on.”

By early August this year
the almost daily air patrols
had found 162 illegal nets
from one stretch of the river
and 200 charges were laid.

Maximum penalties under
the Fisheries Act are fines of
$5,000 and or one year in jail,
but fines usually range from
$150 to $700.

Summer events entertain seniors

Castlegar and District Se-
nior Citizens held their enter-
tainment meeting on Thurs-
day afternoon in their Cen-

ment, arranged by Mrs. J.

and of the wonderful time she
had when attending the class
picnic and nieeting so many
people she had not seen for
several years,

Mrs, H. Johnson spoke of
the guests visiting at the
home of her daughter in
Rossland. These were friends
of Wayne Eastcott of Vancou-
ver who had held an Art
Show in Toyko Japan in 1979.
Mrs. Johnson displayed the
many gifts she had received
and said how much a grand
parent was revered in Japan.
The visitors enjoyed a week-
end at Camp Tweedmuir,
visited the mine, toured
Cominco, played tennis, and
enjoyed an Italian meal. They
were over here to learn more
of the Western life.

Bob Hunter spoke of their
holiday which started off

with a visit to their family in
Prince George. They also
