Dam plans

PUBLIC MEETINGS will be held by the Greater Van-
couver Regional District (GVRD) on the North Shore in
September as part of an environmental review of a pro-
posed GVRD hydro-electric project on the Capilano
River.

An underground hydro-electric plant is proposed for
construction near the base of Cleveland Dam.

The plant would generate up to 16 megawatts of
energy — power enough to service about 5,000 homes.
The power would be sold to B.C. Hydro, linking with its
Glenmore substation in West Vancouver.

Engineers estimate the plant would generate an annual
revenue of about $1.5 million. The money could be used
to help offset increases in the region's water rate.

The $10-million plant woctd operate eight months of
the year.

Among the environmental issues heing considered by
consultants are the scheme’s impact on river flows, river
water quality, flora and fauna and the impact of the
transmission tink from the plant to the substation.

Store robbed

THE NORTH Vancouver RCMP are asking for the
public’s help in finding the suspect or suspects who
broke into Woolco department store in the Capijano
Mall between July 6 and July 7.

Police said a (wo-by-four beam was thrown through
the store’s Haines Street front window. The suspects
entered the camera department and stole six yellow
sports Walkmans worth $100 each and eight black Casio
portable television sets, model numbers 400 and 1400,
worth about $300 each.

Anyone with information on the theft is asked to con-
tact Const. Marty Blais at 985-1311,

Fundraising feared

LOCAL SEARCH and rescue teams fear a telephone
solicitation campaign by an unrelated organization called
the Search and Rescue Society of B.C. (SARBC) may
erode community support for their own local fundraising
efforts.

According to a North Shore Rescue Team (NSRT)
spokesman, the NSRT, Lions Bay Search and Rescue
and Coquitlam Search and Rescue are not affiliated with
SARBC and will not be recipients of any money col-
lected as a result of the fundraising effort.
