From page .

“Is very anjust.” NSSC mem- bers have been trap and skeet shoot- ing at the.present site in the Seymour Demonstration Forest since 1955, -

They say noise levels have not changed in that time and believe that residents are more concerned with hearing gunshots than the actu- al noise level those gunshots make.

Nevertheless, they say they have ‘compromised for the sake of co- operation by limiting their shooting .to Sundays, and then only between *10/a.m. and 4 p.m. although the ‘ bylaw allowed them to shoot between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

‘Justice. Bouck acknowledged NSSC’s attempts since 1988 to mit- igate the noise level, but he said the ~ club had been breaking the noise

_ bylaw and consequently awarded the district costs in the action.

‘According to MacNeal, the injunction affects 1,000 skeet club

members and visiting guests.

He said “a small minority of Lynn -Valley” was disturbed by noise from the club, which he claimed was no louder than that of his own voice at the other end of the telephone.

But residents have angrily peti- tioned council for years to reduce or eliminate the noise from gunshots in Lynn Valley.

Another gun club operating in the Seymour Demonstration Forest ~— the Pacific Shooters’ Association — was the target of similar court

action by the district, but the suit . was dropped at the last minute on :

April 13. -

“We determined from the evi- dence that it was the skeet club that was causing the noise ....” said Bennett.

The Lynn Valley residents are currently negotiating with the Pacific Shooters’ Association to have the association reduce the amount of noise it makes.

West Van looks for projects funding

WEST VANCOUVER is seeking $26 million in revenue-sharing infrastructure projects, Coun. Ron Wood announced at the April 25 meeting of West Vancouver District Council.

The projects, should they be approved, are funded by three lev- els of government — local, provin- cial and federal.

Projects applied for involve the construction of rouds, sewers and recreational facilities,

The municipality would come up with its funding from operating and statutory reserves, including the Capital Facilities Fund (an annual collection of 3% of general taxation) and the $16 million Endowment Fund.

Expenditures from the $11 mil- iion capital budget include continu- ation of a computer system upgrade and introduction of voice mail.

Wood said that capital spending levels have been dropping in recent years and noted that the municipal- ity is falling behind in replacing capital equipment.

“This situation will have to be addressed in future council budget deliberations,” Wood added.
