What's Going On....39 Bowen logging causes dispute LOGGING ON private property on Bowen Island has created a fire hazard and has pitted developers against residents wanting the island’s rural atmosphere re- tained. Local fire chief Lawrie Lock feels that slash from 2% years of clear-cutting — on 160 acres of privately owned land at the island's southwest corner — is a fire hazard that could cause pro- blems and have a severe impact on the island water system. But the developers are downplaying fire and environ- mental hazards, saying that the island's biggest hazard is the resi- dents who do not want any development. A forestry official is slated to meet with the developers this week to discuss their fire prevention obligations. turn-out recora ATTENDANCE at the 1987 Federation Cup by NEC, which is currently taking place at West Vancouver’s Hollyburn Country Club, opened with record numbers and organizers expect crowds to increase as the eight-day event progresses.
