THE HANDYDART is heading to
Expo this summer.

This is good news for all those
who can’t use conventional transit
systems.

Users will be dropped off at the
main gate (East Gate). Then they
can use Expo’s free shuttle bus or
Lift Van between all the gates and
Canada Pavilion, making half
hourly trips.

To fit in with scheduling for this

7 Handydart heads

shared ride door-to-door transpor-
tation system to Expo, users
should make arrangements a week
in advance and must always be
ready at least 15 minutes before
scheduled pick-up time both going
and returning.

It will be difficult or impossible
to find a wheelchair cab at Expo
and would cost a great deal more
than the $1.25 Handydart fare.

North Vancouver Clam
Chowder Championship organizer
John Gordon said Wednesday that
21 teams have been confirmed and
two are pending.

“We are very pieased,”’
said. ‘*Last year we had six entries.
But we expected an increase
because this year the event is much
more a North Shore community
event.”*

Gordon, who spearheaded the
1985 chowder championships as
part of Folkfest 85, added that the

Gordon

event, which was in its infancy,
was far more commercially
oriented.

A panel of five judges will savor
the efforts of entrants at this year’s
championships.

Chowder will be judged on a
scale of 10 in three categories:
commercial, non-commercial and
celebrity. Prizes will be awarded
for first place and one runner-up
in cach category.

In addition to quality of
chowder, prizes will also be
awarded to teams for theme and

Gordon.

“We really felt ii was an ap-
propriate event for the North
Shore because the whole area has a
great connection to the sea and a
great connection with the fishing
industry.”’
