Kwok testifies im ferry suit ” BOATER GEORGE Kwok was overcome with grief on the witness stand several times Wednesday as he testified during his suit against the B.C. Ferry Corp. and two of the company’s ferry officers. Kwok, 48, whose wife ard two of his sons were killed when his 10-metre boat , was involved ina collision with the Horseshoe Bay-bound Queen of Cowichan, told the civil trial he was unaware of the approaching vessel’s whistle blasts until just before the Aug. 12,1985 crash... Just before the ferry hit the pleasure boat, Kwok said he saw “a “big black hull of a ferry coming at me.’ He said that during the ill-fated boating trip in Howe Sound he was looking for a ferry to point out to his son, but could not see one. The ferry was-overtaking the smaller boat and Kwok’s lawyer contends that under. navigation rules. the responsibilty for the colli- sion lies with the overtaking vessel. In earlier testimony at the B.C. Supreme Court trial, 'the Queen of Cowichan was criticized for not using its radar and failing to take evasive action. Kwok’s son Nelson, then 10, was the only other survivor of the “crash. _ The trial continues. ‘Chamber favors P&T: “A RECENT North Vancouver C smber ot Commerce decision | supports the plauned Park and -Tilford. shopping centre develop- | ment, .. the chamber president confirmed Friday, ~ Abe first public-hearing on the project.

Following a one-day postal shutdown in most of the Lower Mainland, Letter Carriers’ Union Vancouver local 12 president Emile Le Hingrat said Friday the approx- imately 1,300 Vancouver-area let- ter carriers could be back on the picket line next week, depending on the status of contract negotia- tions. ‘dvs hard to tell — it may be next week, it may be the weck after,’ he said, adding: ‘*{But) we're not after a strike. We're after a settlement.” Reports of picket line confron- tations across Canada were widespread, but Le Hingrat said pickets at the North Shore depots and post offices were orderly. “It was very orderly on the North Shore, nothing to indicate anybody was assaulted or anything.”’ Canada Post Corp. spokesman Tim Rodgers confirmed Friday that North Shore post offices are working as usual while the pickets are down. Rodgers said he had received no reports of violence at Thursday's North and West Vancouver picket lines.

Who, in 1959, would have thought that Marcel Bonin, even when wearing Rocket Richard's gloves, would score ten goals in eleven playoff games? In 1971, the Montreal Canadiens led by the aging Jean Beliveau and the rookie Ken Dryden, downed the highly favoured Boston Bruins. In 1982 the Canucks held Vancouver spellbound as, ied by Richard Brodeur, they scratched their way into the Stanley Cup Finals. in 1987 the Canucks did not make the playoffs. With a number of conspicuous exceptions they had a dreadfui year —- some im- provement but not much. The team did not excite a Sot. The team did not entertain a lot. Yet, during the playoffs the Canucks again did the unbelievable. They raised ticket prices — without icing a winner, with no excitement and little entertainment. During my seventeen years at Capilano Volkswagen | am proud to say that | have never had such a marketing challenge as is faced by the Canucks. In some years we may have lacked excitement. We never lacked entertainment. And we have always iced a quality pro- duct backed by Volkswagen engineering and our solid depen- dable service department. At Capilano Volkswagen, we care. As for the Canucks, ail | can say to Pat Quinn is that once again | shall, for the umteenth year, renew my season ticket subscription. | cannot solve his marketing pro- blem. Only the team can. Yet he may find our philosophy at Capilano Volkswagen useful. It is what has sustained us on the North Shore for seventeen years. At the end of the day it is all that a customer can ever ask of a business. We care — because that is what our customers want us to do, and, word of mouth advertising from satisfied customers is the most rewarding advertising. . And now for the commercial, but only a smaif one. We've finally received a decent supply of VW Foxes, the new affordable sub- compact automobile. Try one! Buy one! Or lease one! ‘The Fox hunt is over.” 1151 Marine Dr. North Vancouver 985-0694
