THE PORTION of Lawson
Creek running through Ted
Eggert’'s West Vancouver
property might have been
renamed the Milky River
Tuesday.

That’s when Eggert first noticed

the cloudy quality of the water that
usually flows clear.

He immediately called the
Department of Fisheries and
Oceans and West Vancouver
municipal hatl. The sewer and
drainage department sent out inves-
tigators to find out what was the
matter.

The matter, according to the
supervisor of the sewage and
drainage department, was that
workers at a subdivision develop-
ment in 1700-block of Inglewood
had excavated a bit of creek bed,
and “a bit of the natural glacial till
was disturbed.”

Supervisor Brian Robinson said
the result looked much like a con-
crete spill but was non-polluting.

But, he said, the contractor had
all the appropriate permits and was
taking the right measures to ensure
that construction did not affect the
creek.

“It sounds to me like every-
thing’s on the up and up.” he said.

Department of Fisheries and
Oceans biologist Dave Nanson
inspected the site. He said it looked
as though the excavation had creat-
ed some sediment which filtered
through the berm between the
creek and the work area.

Construction workers were
advised to pump the area out and
keep it dry. Nanson said the crew is
scheduled to pour concrete in the
area. It is vital to keep concrete out
of the stream because it is toxic to

Dear Mr. Edit: I've tried editing my f
videos at home but keep yetting a

trying to put together. Why is this?

Answer: Professional video editing
machines have a function called “pre-
roll” that ensures both machines are §
moving when the pictures are
transferred from one to the other.
Chanr ¢s are on your home machines,
you'r. holding the machine you're §
recording to in the “pause” mode. §
When you release this machine from Ff
pause to re.ord the new images, it
Nitakes a fraction of a second tof
accelerate to its proper running speed.
MA Thus the video image is unstable for
this period..Hence the “glitch”. §

Mr. Edit rents a professional! editing f
suite at a very reasonable rate for “da

~it- yourselfers". Your edit points will BM

be smooth and clean.

Remember, call Mr. Edit with your FQ
video questions!

TED EGGERT hoids up a sample of the murky water flowing in
West Vancouver's Lawson Creek Tuesday. Eggert was alarmed
by the apparent pollution in the fish-bearing stream, which
runs through his property. Everything seems fine now.
