Dear Editor:

I never thought I would prefer the rainy days, but now I do.

Those are the days when coal dust from Neptune Terminals, who have just been granted permission to expand their current coal capacity, might not be flying right into our lungs. A big win for Neptune Terminals, a terrible loss for the residents of North Vancouver who live so near a huge, uncovered coal field.

Glance to the right as you drive down Third Street towards Park & Tilford. You can't miss it. And if it's not raining, hold your breath.
