PARK GOLFERS SOUGHT
The City of Prince George is reacting to reports of golf balls flying off Connaught Hill and into the rear parking lot of Queensway Towers Apartments, says the parks manager for the city.
“We have a drive-through several times a night since that incident,” Mike Maguire said Thursday. “We have stepped up security patrols.”
Arlette Park, building co-manager, complained this week about fly-by-night golfers who are practising the sport in an unwelcome location.
From the south side of the hilltop park, a clear break through the trees is attracting mischief-makers to blast balls down the hill and into the parking lot.
Maguire detailed other measures that are being taken to thwart the golfers, but asked that they not be revealed, in case that knowledge tips off the culprits.
“We have addressed the situation,” he said. “Someone could get killed by a flying golf ball.”

LOGGING NEAR STREAMS
New rules to protect fish
by KEN BERNSOHN Citizen Staff
Foresters can expect to see at least five pounds of new draft regulations in the next two months.
A draft of new Interior fish-for-estry guidelines will be released in about a month, regional habitat biologist Dave King said Thursday.
The new regulations will, among other things, require that all streams have to be classified and planned for before any logging takes place, King explained to a meeting of the Prince George Land and Resource Management Planning Group.
If a stream has salmon and trout in it, it’s considered a Class A stream. If it has fish, but not sport fish, it’s Class B. And if it has no fish — mainly seasonal streams that disappear in dry weather — it’s Class C.
The new regulations call for trees to be left standing near all Class A streams in a belt 10 metres wide, as long as 10 metres will provide an edge which won’t just blow down. If that’s not enough to be “windfirm,” the strip left will have to be wider.
The package is expected to have almost 100 new rules to help protect fish habitat.
Soon after those guidelines are released, a draft of the long-promised Forest Practices Code is expected to be released, says Eric Kristensen, executive assistant to Forests Minister Dan Miller, who confirmed what King said.
This will have new, tighter, rules for logging, road-building, replanting and just about everything else forest companies do in the woods.

PARKHILL FLEA MARKET
“Oldest Flea Market in Prince George”
by SHERYL THOMPSON Citizen Staff
The man who delivered the first baby in Prince George Regional Hospital’s current location died Thursday morning at home after a battle with cancer.
A memorial service for Dr. Patrick James Carson, 65, will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday at First Baptist Church.
When Dr. Carson moved here in 1956, he was the eighth doctor in the city.
Since then, he has served in various roles in the hospital and within the community, as well as operating an independent family practice before being joined by Dr. Anne Pousette. His illness forced him to retire.
His wife, Ruth, said the partnership was special, as her husband had been Dr. Pousette’s family doctor for years.
“He had looked after the Gaims family for years. Ann was the oldest. The Gaims children were same ages as ours. She ended up taking medicine and being his partner.
“That doesn’t happen many other places than in Prince George.”
Dr. Carson was bom in Vancouver and spent his youth in Prince Rupert He went to Upper Canada College in Toronto few three years before completing his medical degree at UBC.
He was in the second graduating
class from the UBC Faculty of Medicine. He took his internship at UBC and practised briefly in Kimberley before moving to Prince George to work in the associated medical clinic on Quebec Street He was one of several doctors who built the Victoria Medical Building in the early 1960s.
Dr. Carson also belonged to the Kinsmen and Gyro clubs, held many positions in the hospital over the years, and was active in the medical society.
He also was instrumental in getting home care programs established in Prince George, his wife said.
Dr. Carson was “always a very dedicated, compassionate person towards his family, friends and patients,” she said.
He is survived by his wife, children Jane (George) Grant of Vancouver, Harry (Nitaya) of Prince George, Kathleen (Howard) Shull of Prince George and Jim, of Vancouver. He is also survived by four grandchildren, his brother, John, and several cousins.
lines have been worked on for almost five years.
When company foresters heard the news Thursday they appeared dismayed, since regulations have been getting more complex every few months for the past several years, and have kept changing on a regular basis.
