Toilet can't be used

Sewer problem forces move

Dear Sir:

In regards to the Bobsien-
Queensway sewage situation,
my father owns a house on
Queensway and has had
serious problems for the last
three years, so bad that-I had
to remove him from his
house last year.

The problem started.when
his sewer started backing up.
1 called a contractor to come
and look at it, He said that
my dad would need a whole
new sewer system and also he
found a water leak that was

847-4400 - Smithers

leaking from the main water

line, into his front yard.
The contractor went to get

the go ahead to redo the

“sewer system and it. -was

denied. The contractor put a
holding tank in his yard, but
it had to be pumped out on a
regular basis,

Al first a branch of the
government was paying for it
to be pumped out.

With my father being a
pensioner there was no way
that he could afford to have
it done. So I removed him-

from the house.

My sister is living in the
house now, because of the
rent situation here in Ter-
race. But she has to use the
bathroom facilities next door
or somewhere else.

People are complaining
about taking their laundry to
the laundromat and can’t use

their washing machine, how

about not beitig able to use
the toilet, shower or even do
dishes.

At the time of when the
government said that they
would not pay for the
holding tank to be pumped

out, 1 went to the regional
district and the health board
to see what could be done
and all I got was a run
around,

1 then phoned the Om-
budsman and they sent a let-
ter to regional district and
the main water leak was fix-
ed, but nothing was done
about the sewer,

My father would like to
return home, but how can I
let him return under condi-
tions like this.

_ least —

MLA must give

Orenda

Dear Sir:

While I can’t support the
rather self-serving demand
by the Terrace/Kitimat Con-
struction Association for an
immediate ‘go-ahead’. on
Orenda’s pulp mill project
(‘Build group backs
Orenda’’; Letters, March
25), I would like to add my
voice to their call for a clear
statement from our current
MLA on where he stands on
this contentious issue.

Perhaps we've become ac-
customed to the less-that-
subtle approach of his
predecessor, but compared
to Mr. Parker our present
MLA has — on this issue, at
been strangely silent
and low profile enough as to
be virtually invisible. Have

a t
we elected a phantom?

It’s half a year since Mr,
Giesbrecht won the job of
representing the interests of
Skeena residents. Now is
perhaps an opportune occa-
sion for him to render an in-
terim account of his activities
on our behalf. The Orenda
issue is as good a place as any
to start.

In this new, democratic era
of open, honest government
we should know whose ears
our representative in Victoria
has been bending,. and in
what direction.

We shouldn’t have to
wonder, Mr. Giesbrecht,
where you stand.

John How
