Listening to a radio hot-line show the
other day, I heard many people phoning in
with complaints about ICBC. Let us find out

what North Shore people think about our
insurance company.

Today’s question is:

.

‘Are you happy
with ICBC?”

Peter Reed
North Vancouver

Although I was not
happy with last year's
strike, for a government
agency, they do a pretty
good job. In the past,
when I have had to deal
them, I've found them to
be efficient. I really can't
complain.

Bob Dohoo
Sechelt

Yes, I'm reasonably
happy with ICBC.I sort of
admire an organization
that can handle such an
incredibly complicated
work load. I have no
complaints.

Mrs. A. Greve
Bowen Island

Yes. The last claim 1
put through was handled
quite well. But I don't
beheve in monopohes 1
wish they would have
some competition

Ship section sinks in drydock

BURRARD YARROWS management were still
wondering early this week how to go about
beginning salvage operations to recover an 80 ft.
bow section of a ship which sank at the drydock

Saturday.

Workmen had = just
finished cutting the 202 ft.
oi) company research vessel
in two at the drydock to
“stretch” it by adding a 60 ft.
midsection when the 80-ton
bow section keeled over on
its side and slipped to the
bottom of the drydock.

- Tugs were unable to free
the section from the drydock
and the bow sank to the
bottom.

One of the ship's crew
received bruises when he
jumped into the water but

wanted a new school.

Lakes went even further.
He contended that most
Cove residents would rather
see Burrardview fixed up
than a new school built, and
accused the authors of the
plan of inaccurate
statements about Burrard-
view School.

He also said the draft plan
contained ‘‘unfounded
allegations” about supposed
industry pollution of the
water.

The plan “should go back
to the drawing board,” he
said.

Other council members
were generally pleased with
the plan, though Alderman
Peter Powell, a member of
the community plan steering
committee, said there were a
few places where the
consultants were “off base.”

The draft plan is based
largely on several public
meetings in the Cove and
results of an extensive
questionnaire distributed to
Cove residents.

Other plan highlights
include:
*establishing a

development permit area in
the Gallant Avenue core, in
order to “preserve views of
the natural environment,
protect the village at-
mosphere, and provide an
aulractive and = interesting
acuvily area residents
and visitors”

“making Panorama Park
more accessible by cleanng
the beach of rocks and logs
and cutting down some of
the dense underbrush 1n the
park

*preserving Myrtle,
Strathcona and Wickenden

“superficial” and said: “A
wooden walkway was
broken but that was about
all.”

The stern section of the
ship was undamaged as it
was in a separate section of

reports that as many as [5
workers aboard the bow
went over the side are
disputed by Burrard
Yarrows management.

Burrard President J.W.
Hudson told the News: “It
was only two or three — not
even that many.”

Cause of the accident was
still a mystery, he said. “We
are still examining the
situation. We have no idea
what went wrong.”

He described damage to
the drydock as . being,

Parks for mainly local use

*providing a continuous
footpath from the north end
of Panorama Park to the east
side of Deep Cove Park

*keeping the number of
available dock and moorage
spaces at the present level

*upgrading the Deep Cove
Community Hall to preserve
it “as a reminder of the
village heritage”

*building a senior citizen
home on District land at
Deep Cove Road and
Galant Avenue.

As for recovering the
