«é length of time without prior TheReview | Clarification underground wiring project, < estimated to take six months. A news story in last week’s Review should have quoted Sidney business owner Marie Rosko saying that the projected time to install each transformer box on Beacon Avenue was three weeks — not a three- week time period for the entire Rosko said: “To completely close down a business for any notice shows a lack of consider- ation and concern for the needs | of a small business person.” She noted that both B.C. Tel and B.C. Hydro gave forewarmn- ing when service was to be disrupted and “one would expect no less from the Sidney town administration.” The majority of work was completed by Town crews, with the wiring of transformer boxes left to crews from B.C. Hydro. Holiday deadlines The deadline for classified advertising in The Review is “moved back to Friday at 3 p.m. from Monday at 3 p.m. because of the holiday Monday.

REMAINING HUGE LONDON Plane trees along Third Street south of Bevan Avenue will be removed after Council authorization Thursday. The trees were saved for some time after B.C. Hydro trimmed a huge hollow through the center to prevent possible outages by wires shorting out in storms. Now, sewer and drain lines are being invaded by the trees root system and installation of a new sewer line is impossible. Residents immediately facing the trees want them removed but others on the street fought to have them preserved, One resident said the trees provide an important aesthetic, homes for birds, greenspace between homes, leaves for composting and oxygen for all. Town staff said all efforts to have the trees removed were resisted, until fhe sewer and drain line problem worsened. They will be replaced with more appropriate trees, Council said.

Council heard residents’ views on a proposed bylaw to restrict the size of commercial vehicles allowed to park on residential property. Phyllis Cullis said the proposed bylaw was aimed at her since she owns and operates a dump truck which she has parked in her drive- way since February. The bylaw would restrict the size of commercial vehicles allowed to park in residential driveways to 5,500 kilograms and to seven meters in length and 2.4 meters in height. Cullis said a smear campaign had been organized against her by “some neighbors” who objected to her vehicle being parked in the > neighborhood. "She accused a handful of neigh- bors and some council members of “spreading lies and half-truths” about the issue. “It’s impossible to deal with a council that can’t tell the differ- ence between fact and fiction,” she said. “I do not use my truck to go grocery shopping as has been suggested and no one has sold their property as a result of my truck,” she said.

He added other municipalities on the Peninsula had already Windsor a &@ enacted similar bylaws to the one that is proposed. Cullis replied by saying 181 people had signed her petition, which opposed the proposed bylaw. “Many of those who were up in arms before are now on my side,” she said. “One dump truck doesn’t con- Stitute a truckers’ heaven.” Mayor Ron Cullis absented him- self from the meeting while the issue was being discussed.
