As we all know, people are a mixed bag of
good, bad, greed, generosity, and so on. But
there are certain people we admire and
enjoy socially and professionally.

Today’s question is:

‘‘What do you admire
most in people?’

The long and winding road
that leads to the trial

...all the way from the landfill

IF ever the private pro-
secution being brought
against North Van-
couver District over the
running of Premier
Street landfil is heard in
court it’s unlikely it will
be before October.

Hoskins Road _ residents
Dan and Sharon Simunic
were thwarted again Friday,
May 21, when the case they
are bringing against the
District was called in
provincial court and ad-
journed again.

The case has been ad-

journed on = vanous_ oc-
casions. The last fme was
because District was trying
to make up its mind over
how to plead, having failed
to have the charges quashed
by the provincial attorney
general's department.

This time counsel for
District, Tim Mackenzie,
stated he objected to the
charges on technica}
grounds.

District is charged with
seven counts of con-
travening the pollution

control permit authorizing

_the operation of the dump in

that it allegedly failed to
cover waste material daily
with topsoil on seven dates
in January. The _ identical
charges are also laid against
District Engineer John
Bremner and Deputy
Engineer Harry McBride.

Fire scare at Pioneer

MEMORIES of the enor-
mous grain dust explosion
which destroyed the former
Burrard grain terminal at the
same site haunted North
Vancouver City firefighters
as they rushed to Pioneer
Grain Terminal Tuesday
morning.

An overheated beanng in
the filter system caused spot
fires at) vanous locations.
bringing a speedy response
by the fire department when
the alarm was raised at 9 30
a.m.

Firefighters spent two
hours on the premesis,
hosing down spotfires which
extended from the eighth
floor filter room down to the
fourth floor, and thoroughly

“When these things start
like that you never know
where they will spread and it
causes a lot of concern,” he
said.

“Everyone down there 1s
very aware of fire.” he said,
recalling the explosion
which destroyed the Burrard
terminal which Pioneer was
built to replace.

If, after hearing that
argument the court decides
the case should go to trial,
then the earliest it could be
heard is in October, because
of the backup of cases to be
dealt with.
