In February, Jacks, who is also a commercial fisherman, drafted a proposal to Fisheries and Oceans Canada to close the Horseshoe Bay harbor limits to commercial prawn and crab trapping. The proposal was made, he said, in an attempt to preserve the small heavily-used area for recreation and to halt what he said is the dwindling amount of fresh prawn and crab available to recreational fishermen, Last week, Jacks publicly laun- ched a fight to force the Canadian Forest Products (Canfor) pulp mill at Port Mellon to conform to pro- vincial pollution standards the mill has been exceeding since 1978. In an interview Friday with the News at his oceanside West Van- couver home, Jacks said the two issues had arisen coincidentally but both were of passionate concern to him and the environment in which he lives. “All my writing and my music have come from this coast.

After digging up environment ministry records that showed the mill had been granted permission to exceed provincial air pollution Terry Jacks tion until June 30, 1988, Jacks threw up his hands in frustration and decided to go public with his battle. “Tt is just (crazy). We don't want anymore of this,"’ Jacks said. “Why should we suffer while they make the profits. It’s not a case of jobs or a case of money.

In two weeks, he had 76 pages and 1,549 signatures. The petition now has over 3,000 signatures, 2,000 of which are from West Vancouver residents and businesses. A spokesman for the ministry of environment has said Rogers made his variance order because Rogers had a commitment from Canfor, chairman Peter Bentley that Can- for would adhere to the terms of: that new order. Canfor spokesman Darrel Mawhinney said Tuesday only three of the mill’s 14 smoke stacks are currently exceeding air pollu- tion standards, and nine of the remaining 11 are ‘tat about half the allowable level." He said the company has spent $20 million on the Port Mellon mill over the past nine years and has reduced its odor-causing emis- sions by 80 per cent since 1978, and will spend an additional $2 million in 1987-88 to further reduce those emissions.
