Breton’s engine
worth preserving

From page 9

attention on the story of
Burrard Drvdock is very
appropriate and long overdue,
and I regret that from our
museunr's current site on
English Bay we couldn't do
more. That engine would
make a difference in a com-
munity museum such as ship-
yard-located North
Vancouver Museum and
Archives. In fact, on July 1,
when RCMP Nadon Nett
Canada Place at the begin-
ning of the St. Roch H
Voyage of Rediscovery, her
first stop was an honorary call
at Burrard Drydock to cele-
brate that yard's many contri-
butions, including the con-
struction of the original Sr.
Roch.

In closing, for all those cit-
izens of North and West

Vancouver, I do not think
that there is an opportunity
lost. The Vancouver Maritime
Museum, along with the West
Vancouver Museum and
Archives and the North
Vancouver Museum and
Archives, already collectively
work together to preserve
heritage, legacies from the
past and human stories.
Hopefiully, in the future, all of
these museums will grow, be
joined by new sites and attrac-
tions — like the Cape Breton
engine and the Point
Atkinson Lighthouse. We
envision that the new
“Maritime Museum of the
Pacific” will become an even
larger part of the cultural and
social fabric of our diverse
community and region.

Executive Director of the
Vancouver Maritime Museum.

Homeless man Dennis
Downey, 42, complained to a
Chicago Tribune reporter in
March that the sprinkler sys-
tem at a building on Lower
Michigan Avenue was drench-
ing him and some colleagues as
they had settled in for the
night. “They're trying to get
rid of the homeless,” said
Downey. (The building man-

police officers who used that
particular room had a fegiti-

employees have gone in there

Also, in the Last Month:
An Iranian judge jailed a man
for ogling the judge's wife, but
hundreds rioted in support of

the man, who they said is
merely cross-eved (Ghir, Iran).
The governor of Arkansas
(where 12% of the population
live in mobile homes) and his
wife moved into a wiple-wide
manufactured home next to
the Governor’s Mansion,
which will be undergoing
repairs for the next year. A

before robbing a pawnshop;
the clerk wrestled it away from
him and pulled the rigger, but
the crook escaped (Miami,
