HYDRO TO THE RESCUE

For three days a cat was
stuck up a pole behind 150
West 12th Street in North
Vancouver and nobody, not
the SPCA, the RCMP, the
fire department, nor’ BC
Hydro, said they could get it
down.

And then one morning,
local resident Gary
Oraschuk said, a B.C. Hydro
crew appeared from
nowhere and rescued the
unfortunate creature.

Oraschuk said there was
applause from’ everybody
and the cat ran off, its owner
sall undetermined.
