Slides destroy homes PORT MOODY, B.C. (CP) — A mudslide that destroyed one howe and damaged several others in this small city just east of Vancouver came down with three dull roars Friday night, says a aman who lives near the “Tt sounded three times — like a plane breaking the aound barrier’? Mra. Dolores Taylor said Sunday. “It stopped me dead in my tracks," Houses were torn off their foundations as tons af mud, rocks and trees, loosened by heavy rainfall during the last few days slid through the central portion of the city. No Injuries were reported. One house in the path of the slide caught fire when it ‘was lifted from its site, but firefighters put out the blaze. Residents of 30 houses were evacuated from the slide area earlier when provincial emergency measures officials feared further slidea could occur. Mayor Ian Young said soll experts tested the area Sunday and said the chance of further slides appeared remote. However, he said residents should not return to their homes for at least two days - because city and provincial engineers must first clear redirect a nearby creek that overflowed its banks. © Mrs. Taylor, a resident there for 12 years, said the slide likely occurred because the hillside was a fill site, “The original owner of all this property around here allowed dumping to straighten off the area," she sald. “The municipality and others dumped tons of earth down the slope because it ‘was handy.” She said there were no trees growing in the area to: atop erosion, “I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, but lt: wasn't anybody's fault.” Some residents were per- mitted in the area Sunday to gave. collect their belongings. Provincial and city crews were continuing to clear roads in the area, which were covered by mud more than a metre deep in spots. Grece McCarthy, B.C. human resources minister, who visited the slide scene with Provinclal Secretary Evan Wolfe on Sunday, said a provincial coordinator was assessing damage to private and municipal property. She sald compensation to reai- dents would be determined after the coordinator had submitted his report. A disaster fund also was started by local service organizations to help stricken families and some money was raised at a community dance staged for other fund-raising purposes Saturday. ‘The province is assisting in clean-up costs through a provincial emergency fund. Elsewhere in the province, heavy siowfalls forced drivers to move in convoys led by highways ministry vehicles on Highway 99 Sunday night between Squamish and Whistler, about 80 kilometres north of Vancouver, Officials said the road should be cleared by today. Western record company fighting for its survival VANCOUVER (CP) — Mushroom Records, the independent record com- pany which helped launch the rock group Heart, is regaining its financial feet after a discouraging year. There have been reports the Vancouver company is about to fold, but Joe Owens, vice-president of promotion, gays finances are being straightened, the label has five new albums aut and is expecting a revival of busineas in the U.S. “Vancouver seems to be in quite a hurry to pound the final nail in the coffin," says Owens, “And the lid isn't even down yet.” The company, owned by brothers Dick and Wink Vogel, has had a rough year, Owens said in an interview, including $200,000 in cash Weather hampers search for PRINCE RUPERT, B.C.

TSOnb, : debts and numerous other financial problems. “The main problem was cash flow,’ he said, ‘We released only one album this year, Jerry Doucette’s The Douce is Loose. We had cutstanding obligations and no Money coming in,” After unsuccessful at- tempts to find a buyer for the label, president Wink Vogel managed to get Loa Angeles- based Black and White Sales, a company operated by Toronto entrepeneur Gary Salter, to provide some money. In return, Salter and partner Tony Donato run Mushroom through a management company they own, although the Vogel brothers continue to awn Mushroom, -. The new backers provided the money to release two albums: Chillilwack's Break- down in Paradise, and another by English folk. rocker Ian Matthews called Slamese Friends. Several other albums are planned in the new year. The arrangement also has resulted in closure of Mushroom’s Vancouver promotion offices, which now will be run from Loa Angeles'‘and Toronto. Three: staff members were laid off in Vancouver and the over- all Mushroom staff has been reduced to alx from 15. The future of the studio in Vancouver ia also cloudy. It might be sold, Owens said, or it may be updated with 32- track recording equipment from its current 16-track system. The studio is where Heart'a four-million selling Dreamboat Annie album ‘was recorded. That album produced Mushroom’s best — year in 1976, but Heart also was partly to blame for Mushroom's downfall, Owens said. The group split from the label in early 1977 for CBS- Portrait, leaving Mushroom without a major act. A year of legal hassles coat the company an estimated $500,000. Mushroom eventually worked out a settlement with CBS, but It was offset by an unfavorable settlement with the Dutch Arista label which sued the company for its failure to deliver five promised albums by Heart. Mushroom also is dickering with Heart over the group's court action to recover $190,000 in back royaities, Owens also said the death earlier this year of Mushroom's guiding light, Shelly Siegel, left the company in disarray. Siegel had amazed the record in- dustry ‘by thaking Dream-- boat Annie a million seller — the only instance of an in- dependent recoré success in years, “We loat our momentum,” Owens said of Siegel's death. However, the company could be on the road to recovery if itfinds a U.S. label to release its five new albuma in 1980.
