Thieves not only ones Each year many city and area homes are burglarized resulting in thousands of dollars of property being stolen. The most common items include T.V.'s, stereos, VCRs, microwave ovens, firearms, furs or any other items which are in high demand and easily resold. The thieves themselves rarely hang onto the property but rather sell them to "fences", a term for persons who deal in stolen prop- erty, but do not commit the actual thefts. Often an order is made for property prior to the theft having taken place. Once the theft is committed, | the "fence" obtains the property -- then resells it to other persons who make the purchase as if they had bought it legally. Not only do the actual thieves themselves commit an offence but also the "fences" and the per- sons purchasing the property. Both of these groups are guilty of committing the offence of "Possession of Stolen Property". If you know of a residence or other place where a great deal of property goes in and out, or know of people who have received property of questionable origin at very low prices, Crimestoppers would like to hear from you.

We were encouraged by some of what we heard and we eagerly await the release of the consultan- t's report from C.P. Rail on how to eliminate the dust emissions. Concerned Citizens Committee of Schreiber The following is a letter sent to Schreiber Town Council by Chief Aime Bouchard of the Pays Plat First Nation. Dear Reeve Cosgrove: I am writing this letter in sup- port of the Concerned Citizens of Schreiber Committee and their opposition to the dumping of zinc concentrate in the Canadian Pacific Railway yard in the town of Schreiber, or should I say the chemical dump in Schreiber. I do not believe that people should be subject to the action of big companies, just because they have the money to do as they please; it is not the companies that will suffer in the years to come because of the hazard that they have created. I feel that I should inform you that I was opposed to the Winston Lake project from the beginning, for not only environmental issues, but area economic reasons which I do not have been improved a great deal. I believe that the whole envi- ronmental impact process that occurred regarding this project was a sham, and never adequately took into consideration all the aspects of the project; and the people of Schreiber were misin- formed of the real impacts that may occur 10 years down the road. I would also comment on the Pays Plat supports fa) Concerned Citizens Canadian Pacific Railway because I have no ties with them, except for a few of my people that work for them, but, would be working elsewhere anyway if not for them. The Canadian Pacific Railway has no concern for people or their problems as with almost any big company, their only concern is for profits, just as they expropri- ated approximately 35 acres of our land with no payment of com- pensation whatsoever. They will continue to abuse the power of the almighty buck to do as they please and not what pleases you. - The people of Schreiber's health has been put on the line, their children's future to live free of disease is in jeopardy and all for the benefit of Minnova and the Canadian Pacific Railway. We know what it feels like to be screwed around by govern- ment, companies and corpora- tions, but we believe that the fed- eral, provincial and municipal governments should not be doing that to their own citizens. I wish the Concerned Citizens success in their struggle to achieve a healthier and cleaner environment in which to raise their children and future genera- tions, yet to come.
