Senior sentenced

A SURREY judge recommended Tuesday that an 86- year-old man who pleaded guilty to five counts of inde- cent assault involving five North Vancouver girls be jail- ed nine months.

Judge Norman Collingwood recommended that Stanley Zalot should take counselling and serve the time in his home, fitted with a monitoring bracelet.

The indecent assaults took place between 1970 and 1976 in a Blueridge neighborhood.

The victims were girls ranging in age at the time from five to 10 years old.

Said the mother of ene of the victims, ‘The thing that afiracted the children is that he used to give them art lessons, and my daughter loved art — drawing, painting and wood carving and all this kind of stuff, and he'd always have a pocketful of candy.

“‘A lot of the moms had two or three little ones, and it was kind of a relief to have somebody tske an interest and teach them art. I had no idea that he was molesting my daughter.”’

Teens arrested

THREE WEST Vancouver teens face charges following arrests made by the West Vancouver Police on Sept. 17.

According to.a police spokesman, the owner of a Chev Corvette was at the police station on Sept. 17 to report the theft of two T-roofs. The components were removed from his car while it was parked in the 200-block of 15th Street.

While the man was at the station, a police patrot spot- ted three youths casing cars at Jo&n Lawson Park.

The police subsequently pulled over the three in a car in the 1400-block of Ciyde Avenue and recovered the stolen roof pieces.

An 18-year-old and two 17-year-olds now face charges of theft over $1,000 and possession of stolen property over $1,006.

tinually escalating costs would be harmful to both employees and employers in the long run.””

A Local 514 spokesman was unavailable for comment to press time.

Unionized forernen are paid on average $82,500 a year for a work week of 30 to 45 hours. Those who work more than 45 hours a _ week are paid on average $103,750 @ year. .

A forerman’s average hourly rate is $41.35.

Meanwhile, a Vancouver Port Corp. (VPC) spokesman said the labor dispute may compromise ef- forts made by port stakeholders to sell the port internationally as a stable place to do business.

Said VPC spokesman Trace Acres, “We are in fact very disappointed because a lot of work has been put in by a fot of parties such as the unions themselves, the terminal opera- tors, the employers, the port and railways in working very hard in the international marketplace io try to overcome any myth that may have been held about this port.

-“There have been perceptions about the port that in labor rela- tions it doesn’t have a good track

The last port shutdown involv- ing longshore labor was in 1986.

“We've done pretty well in the last six years, and there was a lot of cooperation in sending that message to the marketplace.

“This kind of unfortunate situ- ation really doesn’t assist those efforts and can send a bad signal

to those we're trying to communi- ©

cate with,’’ Acres added.

West Coast ports, including Prince Rupert,..Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Victoria, Vancouver, Fraser River and Squamish, are affected to varying degrees by the strike, Acres said.

He said it is difficult to deter- mine a daily dollar loss caused by the dispute.

North Vancouver-based Nep- tune Terminals is one of the many North Shore port industries idled by the strike.

The facility ships coal, potash, feed pellets, chemical fertilizers, canola oil and phosphate rock.

Said Tony Nardi, director of transportation at Neptune, ‘‘There are pickets at the front gate, and it has shut down all of our opera- tions at the present time. The ships cost their owners $10,000 to $15,000 a day just sitting there. It’s quite a deal.’
