"Method urged. to’ BEGINNING OF THE END. Preparing a mature maple tree on Lazelle Ave. for eventual removal, a B.C. Hydro crew removed most of its branches, Hydro spokesman Brian Clark said the work was done at the city’s request to create clearance from power lines required by Warkers’ Compensation Board regulations. The tree's demise had prompted calls for a city policy that will save others in A _old trees around city © TERRACE — Mature trees lend character to the downtown core and. the city should have a policy to protect those that ‘are left, says a local- aldérman. David Hull made the suggestion following last week’s felling of a large maple on Lazelle Avenue. The tree was located just out- side the Federal Business . Development’ Bank on’ Lazelle and, said engineering director Stew Christensen, in the way. a new curb the city wants to build — down the street as part of a pav- ing project now underway. = - Christensen said leaving the tree would have-meant building the curb around ‘it or having a break in the curb line, Either one, he told council’s public works committee, would impede drainage or causea traf. fic hazard. Christensen added that ex- cavation would destroy all roots on the north side of the tree making it ‘vulnerable to over. turning.” The tree roots had also grown. ave u into nearby sanitary's sewers ‘and _ although there was a ‘suggestion — to move it to Lower Little Park, it had signs of rot, ‘he said, _ Hull. said he prefers to ‘have: trees that can be saved moved to - Be another site. —: v That, however, would require some planning because It would be inadvisable to try moving a - treé in mid-summer when it was in full foilage, he added. “Without such a policy, “Streets with a bunch of six foot saplings i is all we're going to have,” Hull said, The Lazelle, incident has also ‘prompted the local beautifica- tion society to call for action to preserve the city’s greenery, Past president George Clark said -members -will press _aldermen to adopt a policy under :which no’ mature trees _ would be felled unless there was no alternative.

Kinkead — who owns Sam- son's Poultry Farm — wants to sell the compost as high-grade potting soil. The plan, which Kinkead and waste management branch officials agreed to~ earlier this year, could solve Kinkead’s long running dispute with government officials and. neighbours over disposal of manure on the farm. The farmer was prosecuted last year for failing to remove a~ large manure lagoon on the pro- perty. Soil tests were ‘completed two weeks ago, and as a result Kinkead expects environment ministry officers to approve the composting plan. “The engineer told me the clay was so impervious that the manure would leak maybe 15 feet after 2,000 years,’’ Kinkead said. The waste management branch originally wanted Kinkead to rebuild his main barn — a proposal he called ‘unreasonable’? — to prevent manure from leaking out. But if the tests prove the clay soil is impervious, that won’t be necessary. — But he said the environment ministry’s delay in giving him the go-ahead to conduct the- tests has already set his plans back. “We should’ have had this engineer's study done three months ago,"’ he said. ‘‘There is ‘still a great deal of work to be done. And we need to be com- posting this winter for the spr- ing market — but I don’t know.”* Kinkead said he has begun construction of a composting building and has poured some of the concrete for containment pits. To continue, he said he needs final environment ministry ap- proval, and he’s also looking for a major broker to handle the final product once production begins. He said he needs the ap- proval in order to qualify for a government joan for farmers converting to environmentally sound practices, Kinkead hopes to eliminate the manure problem, make money, and hire four to five more workers to handle the new branch of the operation. © INK WINDOW _LINK WINDOW LINK WINDOW LINK Keeping trees trimmed keeps the power on . “Trees add beauty, shade and privacy to our -homes, .
