Fire victim thanks cabbie A NORTH Vancouver woman says the quick action of Sunshine Cabs Lid. driver Reg Wishinski saved her suite from serious fire damage Aug. 27 after a propane barbecue malfunctioned and burst into five-foot high flames. Said 200-block West Third Street resident Sharon Lonsdale, ‘‘I’d really like to say thank you. He may have saved the whole building. He acted really quickly and without concern for his own safety.”’ Lonsdale had intended to fry hamburgers with a recently pur- chased used propane barbecue for a group of friends. She lit the barbecue and the flames shot up. Lonsdale ran out into the lane behind her apartment and flagged down the passing cabbie. “He jumped out, climbed into our patio,’ she said. ‘I remembered I had a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and gave it to him.” Three hurt in Bowen crash A 37-YEAR-old Bowen Island man is dead and two other male Bowen Island residents are in stable condition at Lions Gate Hos- pital following a Sept. 10 single-vehicle accident on Bowen Island. The vehicle the three were driving in went off a road and over an embankment at approximately 1:30 a.m. The island’s provincial ambulance service and fire department responded to the scene to extricate the victims. Advanced life support paramedics were transported to the island by a Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft, and advanced life support procedures were initiated for the 37-year-old man, who suffered head injuries. All three patients were transferred to Horseshoe Bay and picked up by three waiting ambulances.

This is also another variation of the 1981 guidelines. Although the cost of this is less unpredictable than the cost of providing the 6th Street underpass, the Task Force considers it would also have been preferable for the Developer to have taken on this responsibility.

In a routine check May 29 at North Vancouver’s Osprey Inter- national Seafoods, fisheries officers noticed irregularities in a 7,433-pound toad of Littleneck clams due for processing. A random sample showed that approximately one-third of the clams — about 2,477 pounds — were smaller than the allowable minimum size of 38 millimetres. Charged with buying, selling and possession of undersized clams was Hong Son Le, 40. Harvested in Nanaimo by as many as 16 diggers, the clams had been brought (o North Vancouver for processing. Appearing for the prosecution, Neil Bourne of the Fisheries & Oceans Canada Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo told the court that size restrictions ensure the continuation of a viable brood stock to support the clam fishery. With the minimum size determined to allow clams to spawn at least once and hopefully twice before harvesting, taking undersized clams would mean ‘‘a long, slow process” to replenish the brood stock, he said. Prosecutor Bill Rodgers asked the court for a maximum $5,000 fine and forfeiture of the proceeds from the sale of the entire clam harvest. The charges of buying and selling undersized clams were stayed.
