Senior sentenced

A SURREY judge recommended Tuesday that an 86-
year-old man who pleaded guilty to five counts of inde-
cent assault involving five North Vancouver girls be jail-
ed nine months.

Judge Norman Collingwood recommended that
Stanley Zalot should take counselling and serve the time
in his home, fitted with a monitoring bracelet.

The indecent assaults took place between 1970 and
1976 in a Blueridge neighborhood.

The victims were girls ranging in age at the time from
five to 10 years old.

Said the mother of ene of the victims, ‘The thing that
afiracted the children is that he used to give them art
lessons, and my daughter loved art — drawing, painting
and wood carving and all this kind of stuff, and he'd
always have a pocketful of candy.

“‘A lot of the moms had two or three little ones, and it
was kind of a relief to have somebody tske an interest
and teach them art. I had no idea that he was molesting
my daughter.”’

Teens arrested

THREE WEST Vancouver teens face charges following
arrests made by the West Vancouver Police on Sept. 17.

According to.a police spokesman, the owner of a Chev
Corvette was at the police station on Sept. 17 to report
the theft of two T-roofs. The components were removed
from his car while it was parked in the 200-block of 15th
Street.

While the man was at the station, a police patrot spot-
ted three youths casing cars at Jo&n Lawson Park.

The police subsequently pulled over the three in a car
in the 1400-block of Ciyde Avenue and recovered the
stolen roof pieces.

An 18-year-old and two 17-year-olds now face charges
of theft over $1,000 and possession of stolen property
over $1,006.

harmful to both employees and

A Local 514 spokesman was
unavailable for comment to press

Meanwhile, a Vancouver Port
Corp. (VPC) spokesman said the
labor dispute may compromise ef-
forts made by port stakeholders to
sell the port internationally as a
stable place to do business.

Said VPC spokesman Trace
Acres, “We are in fact very
disappointed because a lot of
work has been put in by a fot of
parties such as the unions
themselves, the terminal opera-
tors, the employers, the port and
railways in working very hard in
the international marketplace io
try to overcome any myth that
may have been held about this
port.

-“There have been perceptions
about the port that in labor rela-
tions it doesn’t have a good track

The last port shutdown involv-
ing longshore labor was in 1986.

“We've done pretty well in the
last six years, and there was a lot
of cooperation in sending that
message to the marketplace.

“This kind of unfortunate situ-
ation really doesn’t assist those
efforts and can send a bad signal

to those we're trying to communi- ©

cate with,’’ Acres added.

West Coast ports, including
Prince Rupert,..Nanaimo, Port
Alberni, Victoria, Vancouver,
Fraser River and Squamish, are
affected to varying degrees by the
strike, Acres said.

He said it is difficult to deter-
mine a daily dollar loss caused by
the dispute.

North Vancouver-based Nep-
tune Terminals is one of the many
North Shore port industries idled
by the strike.

The facility ships coal, potash,
feed pellets, chemical fertilizers,
canola oil and phosphate rock.

Said Tony Nardi, director of
transportation at Neptune, ‘‘There
are pickets at the front gate, and
it has shut down all of our opera-
tions at the present time. The
ships cost their owners $10,000 to
$15,000 a day just sitting there.
It’s quite a deal.’
