Sewage solution eyed |

There’s no promise of action yet, but the Kitimat-Stikine Regional. District and Terrace city council . are talking about possible solutions

for the Thornhill sewage problem. - Regional district Thornhill director Les Watmough explained: to the tegional board recently that the Queensway/Bobsien Cresc. area is of particular concern because much

of the property there is too low for - the proper operation of ‘septic |

systems.

Watmough and regional district administrator Bob Marcellin _ attended city council’s Committee of the Whole meeting April 2 to discuss the outcome of a recent

‘meeting with the Ministry of:

Municipal Affairs. At that meeting, discussion focused on a Greater _ Terrace restructuring and feasibil- ity study for the construction and financing of a sewage collection and disposal system -for Thornhill.

were no injuries. -

A grass fire on private property at the intersection of Kenney and

Davis at 1:15 p.m. was nothing ©

more than a warmup for a more serious incident later in the day, when a grass fire lit by a home- owner was whisked out of control by the wind. There was no real damage but the lesson learned by this homeowner was too late to prevent another more serious grass fire in the 4500 block of Keith Ave. ;

At 4:05 p.m., the fire department was called to a residence near the intersection of Keith and Kalum. Best says the homeowner was burning refuse at the rear of his property and left the fire unatten- ded while he did some work inside the house. The wind spread the

fire to the surrounding grass and Best says by the time the fire department arrived a double garage on the property was fully involved. Other nearby buildings were saved but the garage was destroyed.

About two hours later, fire-

ing to council there is still a Ict to

consider before the initial planning

stage of such a project can even |...

begin. Crossing the Skeena River and the low elevation of some

properties in Thornill are problems, .

they explained, and it could be that the construction of a separate

‘treatment. facility in Thomhill

might be a better way to go.

‘The next stage of examining the various possibilities could take place soon but the talk will be

much the same as at the last meet- |

fighters were called to the second“ propane barbecue fire in the greater Terrace area in as many weeks. Best says the fire was caused by a loose connection, and even though the barbecue was

fully involved in the fire the home-.

owner managed to turn off the propane tank before the fire de- partment arrived. As a result, the situation was under control when

‘they arrived “but Best’ says the:

number of propane. barbecue fires is growing,

For a safe and happy summer, he advises that propane connections be checked with liquid detergent prior to use —.if there are any bubbles, there’s a leak — and make sure the rubber propane hose

is clear of any heat, dripping -

grease or flame. Something else to watch — make sure you don’t place a barbecue of any kind too close to inflammable materials such as cedar siding.

The closing event of the day’s action came at 6:15 p.m., only 15 minutes later, with a report of a

This was discovered when one of

to be a guest at the home of aider- man Dave Hull at the time, phoned the fire hall to find out where the fire was. Right where you’re stand- ing, he was told. But there’s no fire, he reported. Only . alderman

was impressed to see the city’s new fire truck respond so quickly. And as far as his barbecuing ex- pertise is concerned, Hull noted that very expensive restaurants charge a lot of money for that "black" chicken.

Hull also had one other item to report under new business, though. It was the fact that he had repre- sented the city at the inauguration of the Fire Safety House about seven hours before he decided to light the barbecue.
