News FERRY NOISE_ Continued from Page Al areas and the entire compound will be fenced, Renaud explained. Renaud said efforts have been made to reduce the height of the entire development so there is little impact on views. B.C. Fermes will also work with an acoustical consultant to reduce the noise impact, Renaud said. In order to keep the terminal building as small as possible, cor- ridors have been designed as wait- ing areas lined with seats, similar to the system used at airports, Renaud said. Responding to complaints about , generators, Renaud said the new ships being added to the fleet will be able to link to upgraded shore power and will not use generators while in dock. The older ships are gradually being upgraded to use shore power but the upgrades. are delayed by increased ferry traffic, Renaud said. Ships are needed on the routes and it is increasingly difficult to take a ship out of service for a major refit, Renaud added. One resident suggested B.C. Fer- nies limit the use of car alarms in the parking area, pointing out an alarm could be triggered and con- tinue sounding until the car’s bat- tery failed. Mayor Maurice Chazottes said he would check on a Vancouver proposal to control car alarms. Highways project manager Gregg Singer said a draft report on noise impact had just been com- pleted. According to that report, the areas which will suffer the greatest increase in noise are in Curteis Point and near Swartz Bay Road. He promised there would be mitigating measures taken by the Ministry of Highways to reduce the noise impact. Steps will be taken to mitigate any noise levels above 65 decibels, he said. ‘Curteis Road area resident George Grover suggested re- routing the CP ferry truck traffic through the B.C. Fermes terminal at night. “We hear trucks and their noise level exceeds our comfort level by a large margin,” Grover remarked. Although Renaud said B.C. Fer- ries does not operate the CP ferry, he said the residents’ suggestion could be considered. Singer said the overpass at Lands End would eliminate the present drop to the Pat Bay High- way so large trucks would no longer be using the noisy “jake brakes” to stop at the intersection. Another resident questioned the lack of secondary access to the Curteis Point area, noting an emer- gency could block the Lands End interchange. Review given high marks in newspaper compeiition The Review scored a high 93 out of 100 points in the 1991 B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association’s Better Newspaper Competition, sharing fourth place in the province-wide competition with its sister paper, the Gold- stream Gazette. Judge Howard Bennett of the Carman Valley Leader in Mani- toba noted all entries in the tabloid 10,000 to 24,999 circulation cate- gory “show a well-balanced con- tent of good news coverage for the communities they serve.” In the 1990 competition, The Review placed second overall with a score of 87 out of 100. Review reporter Valorie Lennox placed third in a BCAA competi- tion for articles or series on impaired driving. Lennox’s entry was a story describing an evening on a police roadblock entitled “Down the road, police are waiting.” Judge Janis Schmidt of Counter- Attack noted “the top three entries were judged superior as they are informative and accurate and con- vey the information in a compel- ling or interesting fashion.” There were 18 stories and series entered in the competition. - Frustrated... with your hearing aid?

GOVERNMENT We are the hearing specialists LICENCED HEARING AID SPECIALISTS & AUDIOLOGISTS Singer said the Ministry had originally proposed connecting Dunne Road to create another access route but the idea was rejected by residents and council. Municipal administrator Ron O’Genski suggested North Saanich reconsider its opposition to using Swartz Bay Road as a secondary access. If the access is needed, it should be built by Highways and not by North Saa- nich, O’Genski said. Renaud said the ferry terminal has been in operation for the past 30 years and the upgrading should improve the traffic flow in the area. TOWN Continued from Page Al Mike Townsend, director of works and services, told the com- mittee the federal government was anxious to remove the floats that were there was because of the cost to maintain them and move them in and out for the summer He said the best alternative might be if a third party operated it under a lease from the Town. Liability could be transferred to this party, as per a recommenda- tion from the Town’s risk manager, says a Staff report. Aldermen have received numer- ous requests from the public ask- ing that the floats be re-installed. Sun Ray — Window ~ Tinting — Ltd. : Home « Business » Auto Provides daytime privacy.
