TRANSIT’S aquatic arm is about to be outfitted with the sixth sense of new advanced technology. At a cost of $88,300, the system’s two seabuses will receive two new advanced radar and data logger systems to replace existing systems that have been in the seabuses since they floated into action in June of 1979. Capt. Jack Poynter, divi- sion manager for the North Shore-based seabus opera- tion, says the major advan- tage of the new Tadar systems is the visibility Go! their screens during daylight hours. “The screens have an in- tensity of picture that makes CAMPAIGN Mayors across the province have been asked to join the Mayors Campaign for Famine Relief.

For our compact wheelhouse that is a par- ticular advantage.” Poynter says that the sets are also outfitted with a col- lision alarm system that can be adjusted to each opera- tor’s personal range. ‘Fortunately, neither seabus has been been involv- ed in any collisions since I've been here,’’ Poynter says. ‘““We are crossing major shipping lanes here and so we are constantly invoived in close quarter situations.

Poynter says each seabus will be outfitted with one new radar, which will be replacing one of the two original seven-year-old radar systems, ‘‘We prefer to change them one at a time so they don’t all wear cut at once.’” The new data logger will automatically record engine room gil pressure and engine rpms continuously. Estimated annual savings through reduced maintenance and_ increased operating efficiency will be $35,000, according to B.C. Transit. POOL SUPPLIES 9. Friday, Augusé 23, 1985 - North Shore News Special licence needed to hunt on Guif HUNTERS will now require a special licence to hunt on the Gulf Islands, Austin Pelton, Minister of En- vironment, announced recently. Pelton said a Gulf Islands special hunting area has been designated to include all the islands, except Vancouver Isfand, within wildlife Management Unit 1-01. In order to hunt the islands, hunters must pur- chase a special $1 licence, additional to the ordinary hunting licence. The licence will be available only to hunters who can show they carry a minimum of $100,000 public liability and property damage insurance, unless they are to be accom- panied by a licenced guide while hunting.

Pelton stated. ‘‘We believe the new provisions, which were worked out in cooperation with island residents, will solve some of the problems, just as they have in the Fraser Valley. On the Gulf Islands most hunting takes place on private land and it’s understandable that there is a sensitivity to trespassing, disturbance, shooting that occurs too close to buildings, and so on.
