3 Spr Fine given for fish farm feud A VANCOUVER man was fined $1,000 April 5 in North Van- couver provincial court for pointing a firearsn at a fish farm employee after a long-simmering dispute between tocal residents ard an Jadian Arm fish farm operator boiled over last year. Klaus Krey, 52, was found guilty of pointing a Winchester Cen- tennial 30-30 rifle at James William Shaw and possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public peace. He was fined $500 on each count. A third charge of handling a firearm without a lawful excuse was dismissed. The charges stem from a May 30, 1989 incident in which Krey allegedly took a pot shot in the direction of Shaw, an employee of Pacific Aquaculture Ltd. Pacific had leased the Orlomah Beach fish farm site, five kilometres north of Deep Cove harbor, from Indian Arm resident and origina} fish farm owner Tom Hopkins. North Vancovuer District had advised Pacific that it would have to move from the Hopkins site because its expanded on-shore operation did not comply with area single-family zoning. But Pacific’s subsequent move to a site two kilometres north ef- fectively deprived Hopkins of a valid federal aquaculture permit and of the previous non-conforming commercial use permitted at his property. The shot was fired when Pacific general manager Jim Malamas was diving to retrieve submerged fish farm equipment while Shaw remained on dock. Appearing before Judge R.D. Grandison, Krey was also piaced on probation for one year.

Judge J.K. Shaw also placed Halfyard on probation for two years.
