NEWS BRIEFS
Chief hospitalized

NORTH VANCOUVER City Fire Department Chief
Tom Cumming, 48, is recovering in Lions Gate Hospital
after he suffered 2 heart attack Thursday morning.

The incident occurred at approximately 10 a.m. at the
East 13th Street fire hall. CFR was administered by Dan
Hilton, Shawn Bjornson and Bob Schreiner, three on-
duty firefighters. The B.C. Ambulance Service advanced
life support paramedics arrived and treated Cumming at
the scene.

Said Deputy Chief Frank LeGros, ‘‘It looks good.
He’s got good blood pressure and a steady heart rate.
It's just a matter of finding Gut what went wrong."

Soap spilled

LOCAL EMERGENCY crews had a chemical spill scare
Friday morning at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal.

The West Vancouver Fire Department was called to
the scene at about 9 a.m. when a van carrying sodium
hydroxide and sulphuric acid appeared to be leaking its
contents.

But after the fire crew arrived it was determined that
the van was leaking some liquid detergent that it was
also carrying. Unloading of the Langdale ferry was
delayed while officials assessed the nature of the spill.

Hearings set

PRELIMINARY HEARINGS have been set for three
men charged in connection with fast month’s smash-
and-grab robbery at Capiiano Mall.

Robb Edward Napope and Darcy Theodore Olson,
both 22 and both from Vancouver, are to appear Sept.
16 in North Vancouver provincial court for a preliminary
hearing.

Napope is charged with seven counts, including rob-
bery, attempted murder, aggravated assault, assault while
carrying s weapon and using a 12-gauge shotgun.

Olsen faces one count of robbery.

Meanwhile, a separate Jan. 28, 1992 preliminary hear-
ing has been sect for Joseph Hleck, 29. The Burnaby man
is charged with possession of stolen property.

The charges against all three men stem from the June
7 robbery of Lugaro Jewellers Lid. that left four people
injured after random shots were fired into the mall’s
fast-food area.

Station robbed

THE NORTH Vancouver RCMP are searching for a
man, armed with a sawed-off shotgun, who robbed the
Esso gas station at 3707 Delbrook Ave. of $200 on July
5 at about 4:36 p.m

The suspect is described as being a white male in his
late teens or early 20s, 5°9"’ tall, 175 pounds, with broad
shoulders, a fit build, ‘Yellow blondish hair, blue eyes and
a deep voice.

He was last seen wearing a red and white jacked,
navy-blue cut-off sweat pants, and a navy or black
baseball cap with no mesh on the back.

The man produced a sawed-off rusty brown shotgun
with light colored stacks. He was also carrying a plastic
bag.

The suspect fled on foot from the gas station; a West
Vancouver Police department dog team tracked the man
to Shannon Road. Police report that the suspect may
have got into a black convertible.

Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to
contact Const. Marty Blais at 985-1311.

Protest lasted an hour

From page 1

counci] had voted unanimously to
cancel his permit.

But said Reid Thursday, ‘‘You
don’t have written leases. You're
here at their pleasure really. I paid
my reut by the month. | put it in
the hands of my lawyer and he
said that I’m entitled to 30 days’
notice and we opened on those
grounds yesterday. My lawyer is
in contact with their lawyer and I
think this is resolved. If I can
relocate I won't stay 30 days.’

But said George, ‘‘He refuses to
leave. He's totally obnoxious with
everybody. He’s very sarcastic —
demeaning. And he’s made it clear
that he doesn't like native people.
He’s gone, he’s history. °”

Meanwhile the protest blockade
ended after about an hour. Reid
has since relocated to a new site in
North Vancouver.

Said Norah Gould, a longtime
West Vancouver customer of
Reid’s, ‘I think it’s disgusting.
Apparently there were some
children that were annoying him.
Well you can’t blame him. It’s a
small area and if they were run-
ning in and probably stealing some
of the food... well J don’t think
that he would be cruel to them.
It’s terrible. What with the French
in Quebec and tke Indians here —
it’s some country.”’

Meanwhile Noth Vancouver
RCMP are investigating the inci-
dent.
