Opinion

Editor: On the recent issue of priority boarding I would like to propose the following: Those travelling utilizing medical ferry “passes” should be afforded priority boarding ahead of reservations. This is common sense.

Editor: On Tuesday, Sept. 6 I had the misfortune to be ejected from my mobility scooter and suffered a serious head and face injury from striking the sidewalk. An ambulance was called and I was taken to hospital for treatment.

Editor: The logging of cutblock A87125, also known as the proposed expansion area for Mount Elphinstone Provincial Park in Roberts Creek, should be immediately stopped.

Editor: Are the “tree huggers” on the B&K road a nuisance or a sign of an important land use issue? The SCRD has asked the BC Forest Service to delay further logging above Roberts Creek until we sort out park plans for the lower slopes of Mount Elphi

Editor: About the water – or lack thereof. In mid-September we were still at Stage 3 water restrictions. Last summer we hit Stage 4. We are told when we can use water and when we can’t and what we can use it for – or not.

Editor: Re: Stage 3 water restrictions. I think we need to bite the bullet and solve the water issues. Spend some money on accessing or retaining the millions of gallons of water we get and have on the Sunshine Coast. Water meters are not the answer.

Sechelt Council: I have lived and worked in Sechelt for 41 years and truly value the ambience and beauty of our small town. What makes Sechelt attractive, I believe, is the rural-type flavour and this includes our waterfront access and trees.

Editor: The six-storey strata buildings proposed for the Sechelt waterfront need to go elsewhere. For one, Chapman Creek keeps going dry and, as of this writing, we’re still in Stage 3.
