Rose adds to Expos By TERRY SCOTT - WEST PALM BEACH Fia. (CP) — On the bulletin board in the Montreal Expos’ club- house, an invitation to a party had been extended to the players by a Montreal radio station. Underngath the black type was the notation “Wives, too!” Amd, on the opposite side, someone had carefully handwritten: “No girlfriends! (Except for Pete.”) The Pete is Pete Rose, who , besides being the Expos’ elder statesman is one of the few single players on the team. The fact a teammate included a reference to Rose on the invitattion is perhaps the first indication one has “that the aging legend has been warmly accepted into the Expos’ fold. When he signed with Mon- treal after being cut loose by Philadelphia shortly after the Phillies’ appearance in the 1983 World Series, Rose was expected to pravide the team with the intangibles. In five years as legitimate contenders, the Expos have, always lacked that certain’ ¥ or hing to add winning batting titles; I'm not here to prove anything to anyone. I'm surely not in it for the money because I.don't need it. Tm here” to con- tribute to the Expos in what- ever way | can.” At the ‘moment, Expos manager Bill Virdon wants Rose to contribute as a left fielder, and when asked how Rose, whose main position has been first base in the last several seasons, is doing in the outer garden, Virdon replied: “He plays it as well as he's capable of playing it — that’s all you can ask of anyone.” , Rose does not have out- standing speed in running down balls hit toward the foul line and his throwing arm does not terrorize base runners, a couple of deficien- cies that have led many observers to predict he will wind up at first base. . Billy DeMars, the Expos hitting instructor who was with Rose when the Phillies won the World Series in 1980, is convinced Rose can still hit .300 and possibly surpass Ty Cobb's all-time hit record of 4,191 this season. Mid-Week Wrap-up Canadian content to the World Series, an event in which Rose has competed six times. But in signing Rose to a one-year contract based largely on the team’s on-field and box-office success, the Expos acquired a player whose .245 batting average last season was 61 points below his career mark. The Expos’ decision- makers debated the signing of Rose, who will turn 43 next month, for months. And once they made the move, public opinion was as ‘split as a banana in an ice-cream shop. But Rose, as is his custom, has no such concerns. “I don’t worry about what people are thining,” he said, rubbing a towel through greying strands of hair that formed a brush cut when he broke into the majors with Cincinnati Reds, 21 years and 3,990 hits ago. “I have to concentrate on what I believe I can-do: “There people who didn't believe I could hit when I was Midget hockey games Nelson and Trail Midget héckey teams both recorded 1-1 win-loss: records at the B.C.

The * their length in the region is impressive but as a result of latitude and geology few are productive except for one or two the East Kootenays. Furthermore, natural recruitment is low:in most streams because of the relatively small size of spawners and low egg numbers. As a consequence of the high level of stream angling effort a large number of streams have been over har- vested and the stream resident fish stocks are seriously depleted. Major changes in the management of accessible stream fisheries are necessary to restore them to their (non-migratory) popular comprising full potential. Sport fishing must be regulated more intensively to that greater of fish spawn successfully. These regulations include restrictive catch quotas, size limits, seasonal or area closures and gear restrictions that minimize the mortality of released fish. Enhance- ment measures will be implemented where possible but e Bait ban on streams with minimum size limits. In order for minimum size limits to be effective and 8 per cent respectively. These mortality rates are for fish that are released correctly. @ Stream closures: Salmo River, Koch Creek. Acéessible reaches of these streams are over har- vested. The streams will be closed for two years to allow stocks to recover prior to implementation of special regulations. Angler understanding, acceptance and cooperation of this shift'to more intensive management of stream fisheries will be the key to a brighter stream angling future in the K Any comments or ions on the new regulations should be forwarded to Alan Martin, ¢/o Fish and Wilflife Branch in Nelson or Cranbrook. Mixed stock a problem Fisheries have a problem called mixed stock fisheries for some time now. In recent years mixed stock fisheries have become more common primarily due to enormous increases in fishing effort on static or decreasing fish stocks. What is a mixed stock fisher? Technically speaking it is a fishery which occurs in a rearing area (i.e. lake) or on a migration route common to a number of different species or stocks of the same species of fish. In most cases the stocks have different rates of biological productivity, that is, the average return of progeny per pair of spawners will vary between stocks. The fishery, however, is managed to the total abundance of fish or the dominant stock in the fishing area at a given time. As a result, the low productivity stock will be overfished, possibly to extinction, while tHe cost effective opportunities for i impr are limited usually due to size and unstable nature of most Kootenay streams. In order to return and the maintain quality stream fisheries in the Kootenays that support high catch rates and large fish, fishing will have to become more non- ive in nature. is will be placed on the recreational experience of catching fish, rather than keeping fish caught. Angler cooperation and acceptance of this manage- ment strategy is the key to better stream fishing. This will require a major change in attitude by many anglers towards stream fishing and releasing fish. The benefits of this management strategy have been demonstrated else- where; the amount of angling recreation a stream can support, the catch rates, and size of fish caught are all in- creased, and the angler maintains opportunity to keep a few large fish. The alternative is the situation that currently exists — small fish and limited fishing opportunity. Changes with respect to the streams in 1984/85 regulations synopsis and their rationale are as follows: Trout and char closures: November 1 to June 14. All streams of Region 4 except the Columbia River and Kootenay River below the White River. Trout and char are concentrated in over wintering pools and are extremely vulnerable to over harvesting. high pi ity stock will be underexploited. If enhancement is applied to one stock but not the other, it will ‘rasie the overall average production with the consequent increase in rate of use and resultant over-harvest of the unenhanced stock. There are several examples of mixed stocked fisheries here in the Kootenays. The best example is the Balfour kokanee fishery. The upper west arm stock grow to a large size but the total numbers are quite low compared to the relatively abundant but small sized north arm stock. In June and July an unknown but fairly abundant number of north arm stock move into the west arm and mix with the west arm stock. In the past the sport fishery exploited both stocks at the same rate with the result that the less productive and less abundant west arm stock became over-fished. On the other band the more abundant but productive north arm stock was actually underfished. The solution to this mixed stock fishery is reasonably simple compared to most. Enhancement of the Balfour kokanee stock is required and in fact it is being done. Despite enhancement the possibility of a mixed stock fishery will still exist due to the unpredictability of numbers of north arm fish entering the west arm in any given year. The safest thing to do is to enhance the west arm stock and avoid the possibility of a mixed stock fishery by not having a fishery in June and July when the two stocks mix in the arm. In future it is proposed to have the Balfour kokanee open from the fall through to the spring with a closure at the end of May. When fish enhancement takes place, management options in a mixed stock fishery are often quite complex. Coast fisheries biologists have found that while the majority of the jointly funded projects of the Federal Provincial salmonid enhnacement program (SEP) have been highly successful some serious problems have also been created. Enhancement of low productivity steelhead stocks through hatcheries have a major drawback. Large numbers of hatchery steelhead have been produced by SEP and these hatchery fish have returned to various streams in high numbers. Unfortunately, large numbers of hatchery fish mixed in a river with fewer numbers of wild steelhead have all the earmarks of a mixed stock fishery. The sportfishery exploits both “stocks” at the same rate with the result that the wild stock is invariably overfished. Because hatchery fish have been removed and pro- tected from natural selection during spawning and first year of rearing, there is considerable risk that hatcheries can alter the genetic makeup of a particular stock. If the hatchery fish are allowed to spawn with the wild fish, there is a chance that the entire stock can be adversely affected. There are many examples where this has actually occurred. It is for this reason that Vancouver Island has a regulation on many steelhead streams which calls for release of wild steelhead but capture and kill of hatchery fish. In the Kootenays, ironically enough, too much of the Gerrard rai in Kootenay Lake could result in the demise of this unique stock. Production of too many hatchery fish hence increased catch could result in fewer and fewer wild fish spawning at Gerrard. In 1983 hatchery fish represented 20 per cent of the total run. The danger in using hatchery raised Gerrard rain- bows lies in the fact that hatchery fish tend to mature and spawn at an earlier age than their wild counterparts. ene FASTBALL \ Monday, March 26 7:00 P.M.
