Locai skeet club
lease extended

THE NORTH Shore Skeet Club has been given a five-year
lease to continue outdoor shooting in the lower Seymour

Demonstration Forest,

but members of the Pacific Shooters

Association are angry that North Vancouver District Coun-
cil has put off a decision to renew their lease pending results

of noise tests.

“They (council) seem to keep
coming up with different ques-
tions. We can’t get a definite
answer from them," said Bruce
Howard, vice-president of the
Pacific Shooters. Association
(PSA).

Howard and other members of
the PSA say without a 15-year
lease, it will not be feasible for ‘the
organization to spend $100,000 on
an expanded range at its proposed
interim site in the lower Seymour
Valley next to the Skeet Club. And
the group “insists that noise tests

- will show that ‘shooting does not
pose a sound’. problem: for
residents. 7

But Ald. Murray Dykeman said
that approving the association's
lease would be “putting a sound
hazard in an area we’ re (council is)
planning to populate."

‘Council agreed in _ principle
Monday to cut a‘I5-year tease re-

quest by the Skeet Club to five -
years ‘subject ‘to the setting of

specific operating hours, | after
receiving complaints of noise by
some residents. :

PSA until the district carrics out its
own investigations into noise levels
caused by shooting ai the range:

The PSA has &cen active in the
Demonstration Forest area for 30
years until it was instructed by the
GVRID two years ago to move
shortly after its lease expired last
August.

Norm Kelsey, secretary-treasurer .

for the PSA, said tie GVRD has

approved of the move, but council ©
is ‘blocking’? a decision to ap;

prove the lease.

“They (council members) should
have approved this tonight, We've
got a far better record on safety

than many other sports,’ Kelscy

said.

Marilyn Baker suggested PSA
look ‘at an. alternate site for its
range, and possibly scale down its
plans ‘for expanding. But the
association says it wants to build
the range. to Olympic standards,
particularly since it is being con-
sidered to host the.1989 Police and
Firemen’ s ‘Olympics: .
