A8 - Sunday, August 22, 1982 - North Shore News inquiring reporter a by Ellsworth Dickson Developers have made application to build two neighbourhood pubs in the lower Lonsdale area, but they need Council ap- proval before they can go ahead. Today’s question is: “Would you approve of a neighbourhood pub in the lower Lonsdale area?”’ Lindsay Spees North Vancouver I think it would be great. I like going to the Queen’s Cross. It’s cosy. Chris Campbell North Vancouver Sure, I'd love one. It would be a nice alternative to the hotel pubs here. Dennis Voysey North Vancouver 1 think 1t would be a good idea. A lot of people go to the Queens Cross. The people who live in this area would appreciate it Esther Bristol North Vancouver 1 wouldn't 9 be interested 1n that sort of thing. I think they have enough = pubs there already Gordie Brand North Vancouver 1] dont think tt would be too bad Coal dust blown FROM PAGE A1 which would shut business will be con- sidered. “It is a last resort and something we don't do lightly,” says Miller. “Every opportunity is given to the company to clear up the problem. But it is something we have a problem with.” He’s also keeping a close watch on the waterfront further west, where woodchips from Fibreco have been blowing over the Seaspan operation. Miller has responded with a violation notice again and says the quantities of chips blowing about are sufficient to be “pretty incompatible for anyone’ standing downwind.” He says the pollution problems from both Neptune and Fibreco have existed since May 25, because of the dry weather around that time and the unusually high stockpiles at both businesses. Then there’s the ongoing Situation at Vancouver Wharves of sulphur clouds drifting from the piles of Sulphur loaded and unloaded there. Miller says this is more of an operational problem rather than inadequacies at the business and stresses that Management is “very responsive” whenever he mentions any incidents occurring there. Again, weather conditions are a Crucial factor when the problem arises. Usually, he says, it occurs as a result of a staff change. Stackers are instructed to drop the sulphur only from a low height as it comes off the conveyor belt, unless there is no wind. Sometimes, when a new person starts work on the stacker, the instruction fails to get passed on. Problems generally only arise at any of the three trouble spots when maternal is being moved around. At Seaspan the situation has become more acute since the firm began Ysing a new stacker which, ac- cording to Miller, has tripled the number of hours the plant is in operation. “It has always been there but it hasn't been a significant problem until about the past six months,” says Miller “People were a_ little aggravated by it and then got really upset with it when we had high winds ” At Neptune there currently unusually large volumes of coal. to com- pound the problems caused in recent weeks by weather Neptune's Sales and Services Administrator John Cleamo says the buildup of are Eaton's Fashion Timetabie Sale Flyer Page 5 tast paragraph on Page ta incorrect Description shovwid read Cord waiter jacket tops skirt in mulberry ted navy taupe or Dlack 29 998 Page 10.

It is in the reclaiming area of the operation that dust problems generally originate, even though. the stacker-reclaimer equipment has water sprayers on it to dampen down the pile. “We get quite a number of calls about coal dust deposits from the Neptune plant,” says Miller. “Coal dust is a fairly acute problem.” During dry weather, motorists have spotted black dust being whipped up in the wind as they drive up Main Street hill. At nearby homes, residents become furious when they find that although the layer of coal dust on their sundecks may be almost too thin to see it still ruins their carpets when children walk in with it on their shoes. Miller is currently taking a wait-and-see stance, to give the industries time to clean up their own act. “There are easier ways to deal with it than hauling everybody into court,” he says.
