LORNE Ewing doesn’t
like the earth to move.

For more than a week
now, he has been feeling
seismic vibrations in his
Lower Lonsdale apariment
about every 60 seconds.

This shaking goes on
from 7:10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
There are at least three more
weeks of it left to go.

“Everything shakes. It
feels like you have sea legs
when you get up,” said
Ewing last week.. a

His motion sickness can
be traced to a 17-tonne
weight hanging from a crane

at the foct of St. Andrews

Avenue. .
' The equipment is located

. on .a piece of North

Vancouver City waterfront

called Pier 94. The land is

owned by Vancouver Port
Corp. ;
