Quick call
minimizes damage

A QUICK call Monday from residents of a home located at 650
West Keith Rd. helped minimize fire damage to the house.

Fire broke out in the floor space below the kitchen. Residents
smelled smoke and called the North Vancouver City Fire Depart-
ment at approximately 11:20 p.m.

Said Insp. Dave Burgess, ‘‘If in doubt, give us a shout.”’

Fire damage was confined to the floor of the home. The rest of
the house sustained some smoke and water damage.

Investigators are looking at the home's heating system as a
possible cause of the fire.

WV doctor to run
for Socred spot

WEST VANCOUVER family physician Dr. Rodney Glynn-Morris
has announced his intention to stand for nomination as the Social
Credit member for the new riding of West Vancouver-Garibatdi.

Glyna-Morris, 45, has lived in the riding since 1979,

The doctor made News headlines in March when he opposed
plans by Lions Gate Hospitat to spend $25,000 on the construction
of a smoker's lounge.

The candidate intends to focus on issues concerning preventive
medicine, education and the environment.

Said ’Glynn-Morris, “‘I am standing as I feel a new riding needs
new blood, new ideas, and someone without past commitments to
different factions of the party.’’

Compost project okayed in WV

A $9,000 community composting
demonstration project was recently
approved by West Vancouver
District Council.

By MAUREEN CURTIS
Contributing Writer

WEST VANCOUVER
_DISTRICT COUNCIL

The 1,000 square-foot site for
the project will be near the
municipality’s waterfront on a
recently cleared lot at 16th and
Argyle Avenue.

According to Arthur Mudry,
who sits on the municipality’s
Recycling Task Force, composting
is the ‘‘next logical phase’’ after
recycling and curbside pick-up,
which is expected to be in effect
later this year.

Domestic household waste
makes up approximately I0 per
cent of a community’s general
waste stream, while about 24 per
cent is made up of green, organic
plant waste and yard waste.

“The establishment of a com-
prehensive composting system
could most effectively reduce the
volume of waste stream, thereby
reducing negative impacts upon
land and air pollution,’’ Mudry
told council.

The demonstration project will
be set up as an information and
resource facility to encourage,
educate and inform the general
public as to the merits and joys of
composting.

Rather than a “dirt and ma-
nure’’ operation, the proposed
project will be designed in a trellis
and arbor arrangement and laid
out by a landscape architect to
provide an added attribute to the
nearby Lawson Park.

“It should be worry-free, pest-
fre and odorless,’’ said Mudry.

The project is scheduled to run
from July to October. It will be
manned Friday, Saturday and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
with volunteer citizen gardeners,
assisted by a part-time paid coor-
dinator.

A basic criterion for the project
will be to keep the site clean, at-
tractive and accessible as an in-
formation centre.

The project’s compost will be
supplied with regular organic ma-
terials from the municipal parks

department, local grocers and local
domestic gardeners, such as the
West Vancouver Garden Club.
Different types of composting
systems would be used, including
barrel rotators and green-cone
digesters, in additional to the con-

ventional affair.

Ald. Rod Day commended the
Recycling Task Force for develop-
ing the project, and Mudry com-
plimented Mayor Don Lanskail on
being one of the community's
“‘pioneers”’ in recycling.
