Rock falis FALLING ROCK on Highway 99 Saturday sent a driver and his son te Lions Gate Hospital. A 30-year-old mans and his four-year-old son were travelling four kilometres north of Horseshoe Bay when 2 boulder smashed the windshield just after 10:30 a.m. The driver lost control of his vehicle, which veered in- to a ditch and roiled. The driver was released from hospital Saturday. His son was held overnight for observation. The accident caused approximately $10,000 worth of damage to 9 1991 Grand Prix. A driver died last month whea his car was struck by falling reck near Porteau Cove. Remains identified THE WEST Vancouver Police have identified the human remains found Oct. 5 in Cypress Bowt provincial park. ‘The remains, identified through the use of dental re- cords, Theodorou of Burneby. are those of 21-year-old Grace Barbara Theodorcu’s death is being treated as a homicide, but do press time the police had no suspects. Theodorou was last reported seen May 2 at about 3 a.m. leaving an apartment in the 1300-biock of Burrard Street in Vancouver. The woman had been partying with friends the night she vanished. The body was found by a hiker in dense bush near a Hitde-used trail at the upper end of Cypress Road. The police investigation into the case continues. a Critics suggest Squamish as preferable for facility From page 4 the park and park users. In put- ting the plan together we dealt with the windsurfing association, the small beating associations, the diving croups and we designed a facility that met their specific re- quirements,’” Cunliff said, adding, “*It reatly looks more like a public pier than a ferry terminal.’’ But said West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce president Don Youngson, ‘I go to Porteau - Cove ike thousands of others and it’s a really nice spot. But the re- ality of that as a ferry terrainal is really stupid. The only thing it appears to be is that it’s the only piece of waterfront property that the highways people own. “Logic says that if you are to provide facilities for disaster tesponse or emergency response, you are required to handle a Jot of people in a short period of time. To me simple planning logic says it should have been in Squamish where you've got a hospital, you've got telephones, you've got washrooms -— you can handle thousands of peopte,’” he added. But said Cunliffe, ‘‘We looked at it but it suffers the same disad- vantage as Darrell Bay — the travel time.’* Smaller water systems in need of financial support From page % Health Inspectors’ B.C. branch. According to the report, people living in B.C. have a greater chance of becoraing sick from drinking contaminated water than people living elsewhere in Canada. But people living outside the Lower Mainland face the greatest risk of contracting waterborne diseases, the report said. The report’s recommendations include: @a call for a moratorium on logging and road-buildirg in the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) watersheds pending an ecological inventory of watershed rescurces and a study to determine practices to enhance Greater Van- couver Regional District (GVRD) water quality; @ giving the provincial health ministry responsibility to enact and enforce drinking water regu- lations; @ provincial legislation that would make safe drinking water standards mandatory; @ provision of financial assistance for the upgrading and maintenance of small water systems to meet the new stand- ards. (B.C. curvently follows the Ca- nadian Drinking Water Guidelines, which recommend the minimum parameters of water quality that should be met). Young said the committee sup- ports the GVRD’s $500-million plan to upgrade the Lower Mainland water system. The plan includes. the construction of 2 filtration system at the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs that could filter giardia cysts. In the first six months of this year, North Shore Health (NSH) has 41 reported cases of beaver fever. Symptoms of the disease include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and weight loss. - But Bill Kimmett, NSH director of environmental health, said the local cases were not necessarily contracted from the water on the North Shore; he said the disease can also be transmitted person- to-person. “My feeling is that if we did have giardia cysts in the GVRD system we would get a hell of a Jot more cases of giardiasis in the city and district of North Van- couver,’’ Kimmett said. Kimmett said he supports the construction of filtration tanks because the chlorination used by the GVWD systems cannot kill the parasite. “We've got to take preventive measures and that’s what the GVRD is doing,’’ Kimmett said. He concurred with Young that the smaller, unofficial water systems such as those on Bowen Island, Grouse Mountain, Cypress Bowl, Seymour and the Woodlands/Sunshine Falls area need financial support from the provincial government. A GREATER Vancouver Regional District (GYRD) crew flew into the Seymour watershed last Friday to open up reserve storage from Burwell Lake to make up for low Seymour reservoir water levels resulting from recent dry weather, GVRD administrator of water planning and operations Tom Heath said the tow reservoirs have raised GVRD concerns about water quality rather than water supply. The Seymour reservoir is down 26 feet from the top; the Capilano reservoir is down 24 feet. The Seymour reservoir was dropping at about 10 inches a day until Burwell Lake was opened; it is Mercedes-Benz BMW Porsche Toyota Acura Honda The desirable trades are found at: Mercedes-Benz fot Sve See this issueof Automotive Classified 1375 Marine Dr. North Yan 984-9351 ore, “ane Jeremy Leevers Gold Master Member (UL years Friday, October 18, 1991 - North Shore News - & Low water levels concern GVRD now dropping at about six inches each day. Vancouver received 5.8 millimetres (.22 inches) of rain during a 24-hour period starting Tuesday, according to the Van- couver weather office. However, the last significant rainfall before the recent rain and windstorm was on Sept. 13 when 8.0 millimetres (.31 inches) of rain fei. Heath said the wet summer helped to bolster local water supp- ly. In August, the reservoirs were so full that excess water was runn- ing over their spillways. In 1987, the GVRD recorded its lowest reservoir level ever during a four-month drought that ended on Nov. 4. Seymour was down 28 feet and Capilano was 34 feet at the time.
