Pulp mill trial date set WESTERN PULP I[nc., the company that owns the Woodfibre pulp mill near Squamish, has been ordered to stand trial Feb. 5 on 12 pollution charges. The trial date was set Tuesday during an appearance by company representatives in Squamish provincial court. The charges were laid against the company by the provincial en- viroament ministry in August following a six-month investigation into the mill's waste management. Nine of the charges allege the company exceeded the legal limits for pollutants allowed to be discharged from the mill into Howe Sound under its B.C. waste-management permit, while the remain- ing three allege violations of the Federal Fisheries Act, which pro- hibits the pollution of fish-bearing waters.

Crimestoppers Mionth declared OCTOBER has been designated as Crimestoppers Month in the Lower Mainland. The success of the Crimestoppers program relies on a close co- operation of citizens, police and media. The media publicizes a crime, the police receive tips from anonymous callers and the community raises cash tu reward tipsters. In the first seven months of the year, out of 1,274 calls received, 264 arrests were made, 555 cases were cleared, $939,358 worth of property was seized, $1,248,217 worth of drugs were seized, and awards exceeding $32,000 were paid out. At the current award payout rate, this year’s payout will exceed last year’s. To raise additional funds, Crimestoppers is raffling off a 1989 car. Tickets for the raffle will be sold for $5 each or three for $10. The Crimestoppers display and ticket raffle will be set up at Park Royal Nov. 6 to Nov. 12. N.

Joan Gadsby said Friday. By PATRICK RAYNARD l Contributing Writer But Glenn Houghton of Canada Trust, who handled the land sale to Caira-2 Developments, says that Gadsby is ‘‘off base’’ and that ‘‘a good cross-section’’ of area citi- zens support the low-rise scheme. District council, sitting as the policy and planning committee, will respond Monday evening to a report staff have prepared on the redevelopment, senior planning assistant Hope Burns told the News Friday.

Gadsby, who spoke out force- fully against the project at a public hearing on Sept. 18, repeated last week that she was in favor of redevelopment of the Edgemont area in general but that the ‘‘mass- ing’? of the proposed building, with an 82 per cent site covcrage, would set a dangerous precedent in the village. ‘Irs the thin edge of the wedge,”’ Gadsby said of Cairo-2’s request that the zoning be changed from Cl to C2. If the higher-den- sity zoning is allowed to go into piace, she said, ‘‘there is a poten- tial for a Whistler type of village, and I am opposed to that.’’ Gadsby is also concerned that the suggested $175,000 purchase price of the apartments would be out of reach of both the elderly and the young of the area, to whom Cairo-2 wants to market the Joyce “Wilson Bound for Hong-Kong | will be in Hong Kong from Oct. 16th to Oct. 30th and will be con- tacting Hong Kong investors for the Vancouver Market — North Shore. | will be pleased to hear from § anyone wishing to market their property. doyce Wilson 922-4751, 925-1141 Sutton Group-Sentinel Reality IMPAIRED DRIVING Ardagh Hunter Turner Barristers & Solicitors #300-1401 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver 986-4366 Free Initial Consultation AST CLASSD\
