Merchants
raise $780

PEMBERTON AREA merchants
got behind the Rick Hansen Man
in Motion Tour and in one day
were able to raise more than $780.

A Pemberton Merchants Fair
was held April 21, which attracted
about 1,500 people.

The merchants sold donated hot
dogs, pop and balloons and asked
people to make a donation to Rick
Hansen.

Participating merchants included
Johnstone’s Appliances, Blue
Water Pools, Book Case and Wall
Unit shop, Jade Lawson Perfor-
mance Car Stereos, Tilley’s En-
durables, - Taylor Motive and
Levett’s Auto Service.

More..than 350 hot dogs,
donated’ by Grimm’s Finest in
Richmond, were sold. Gray Bever-
age-donated the pop, the buns
were donated by Buns Master and
Nellie’s donated the condiments.

' The fair was such a success that
merchants are planning another
fund-raising event later this sum-
mer.

THE NORTH Shore gets about 66 per cent of the total
hazardous good cargos in the Lower Mainland. The latest
Statistics indicate that 586 railcars of Hquid chlorine
passed through the area in 1985, Five thousand rail cars
of methanol, 4,709 rail cars of caustic soda and 344 rail
cars of liquid petroleum gas also passed through North
Shore rail yards thal year. A recent investigative article in

the North Shore News revealed that a disaster plan
drafted in 1980 is still in draft form and no central agency
exists to coordinate emergency crews. In Mississauga,
Ont., a propane raileaz explosion forced an evacuation of
250,000 residents. This week, Inquiring Reporter asks
people if they feel that local facilities are properly equip-
ped to handle a major hazardous goods disaster.

Are we ready for a rail disaster?
