Court threat still
hangs over Bobsein

TERRACE — Health ministry
officials will likely begin pro-
secuting Bobsein Crescent
residents for sewage violations
if talk about a new sewer system
doesn’t soon turn to action.

Skeena Health Unit medical
health officer David Bowering
said raw sewage in the ditches of
the Thornhill subdivision te-
mains a health hazard.

And he said the danger ‘of:
disease outbreak will grow with
the arrival of. warmer weather
and more kids playing out-
doors.

“'There’s an ongoing danger
that someone could chase a
baseball into a ditch there and
come into contact with

something,” Bowering said.
He said he has held back on
taking residents to court in the
hopes that the regional district
will find a way to build a pro-
posed $5 million sewer system
for the area. :
“If we come to the point
where it doesn’t look . like
there’s going to be any move-
ment, then we probably won't

-have any option,” Bowering ex-
“plained,

“At that” point we'd

have to turn it over to the

courts.”’
“‘T hope we never get to that
point,’’ he added, “‘but I

haven’t heard any backhoes
starting up so far.”
To date one homeowner —

David Giesbrecht — has been
ordered to clean up his septic
system. He received the order
following a crackdown by the
health ministry on homes with
failed septic systems.

The sewage surfaces in dit-
ches and yards in the area

because of poor soil conditions:

and a high water table.

-The province’s final offer of
a 75 per cent subsidy brings the
cost of the new system down to
$817 per homeowner every year
for 20 years.

Bobsein homeowners predict
that price will never get ap-

‘proval from other residents, so

they’re fooking for ways to fur-
ther reduce the cost.

Subdivision work begins

TERRACE — With the city ap-
parently already on course to
experience a record year for
construction, work is now
under way on a new, 4] lat sub-
division,

Bench Developments Ltd. —
Stan Shapitka and Russ Schauer
are the principals in the com-
pany — have started clearing
the site off Thomas, between
Cooper and Twedie.

Shapitka says installation of
services they’ll be
underground for half the lots —
is scheduled to begin within the
next week and the lots will be
ready for house building by the
end of June or early July.

The development will include
a cul-de-sac road emptying on
to Thomas. Half the lots will
face on to this and the re-
mainder. will front on to
Thomas, Cooper or Twedle.
They will vary from
8,000- 14,000 sq.ft. and cost bet-
ween $22,500 and $30,000. .

Shapitka said Bench
Developments will pay the city
$175,000 which covers.the cost
of extending its services to the
edge of the site and half the cost
of paving portions of Cooper

_ftom.front”

Stan Shapitka

and Twedle,. The company will
also have to pay for all such
work within the subdivision.
Another subdivision develop-
ment in the works on the bench
is that of alderman Mo Takhar..
His property, east of the Bench
Development site arid stretching
from Halliwell to Twedle,; was

bought in December of last year

for $85,945.

.

Howeyer, before that project
goes ahead, he.is asking the city
to agree to a land swap deal. In
a letter to council, David Lane
— acting on behalf of Takhar
-— explained city staff had ask-
ed the original, cul-de-sac con-
cept be altered so that the inter-
nal road connected Halliwell
and Twedle.

While this had been done,
Lane pointed out Takhar would
be giving up close to 38,000
sq.fl. of the property to accom-
modate the amendment.

Lane therefore proposed the ©

city cede to Takhar approx-
imately 46,00 sq.ft. of its own
land just to the south of the pra-
posed subdivision. Noting some
of that land was ‘unusable’

because of its proximity to the.

escarpment, Lane estimated the
buildable area of city Jand
sought at $40,350 sq.ft.

Council’s planning and
public works committee has
recommended the city get a
‘“comprehensive appraisal’’ of
the land involved and that in-
formation then be studied by its
internal project planning and
review committee.

“Abortion death report _

shock,

* And that health minister
Elizabeth Cull have all prospec-
tive patients for therapeutic
abortions: apprised, in- writing,
of all possible complications
that could result from the abor-
tion procedure. ,

That final recommendation
drew praise from local pro-life
activist Isobel Brophy.

“This: recommendation is
long overdue,’?-said Brophy, a
local nurse. who in the past has
been reprimanded for counsell-
ing patients not to have abor-
tions. ‘‘You get more informa-
tion if you're having your ton-

sils ‘removed, Without
knowledge, there is no such
thing as free choice.’’:
‘“‘Women have been treated
like children for too long — as
if they’re unable to: handle the
total picture of abortion,’’ she
added.
_ Dr. Almas. said the George
case — which has already been
the focus of at least two internal
hospital reviews will be
reviewed again, in accordance
with the coroner’s recommen-
dations.

“This is ‘the only death that

has occurred at our hospital as a
result of therapeutic abortion,”

she said, ‘““We know it’s safe
here. But it also: has to be-
perceived as being safe by the
people.” .
