TAHOE

STATELINE, Nev.
— A large bomb exploded
Wednesday during attempts
to disarm it and blew.a two-

to threestorey hole in the |
side of a Lake Tahoe casino: |

hotel, just hours after an
unsuctessful attempt to pay
extortionists $3 million, the

"FBI said.

There were no injuries in

“the explosion at Harvey's,

Resort Hotel-Casine, ~

_ “Phe requests: of the ex-

tortionists were met,” FBI
special agent Ray. Yablonski
said. ‘However, they did not
show-up at a second location
after a phone contact had
been made to set up the
payoff.’”

He said a helicopter pilot,
with §3 million put up by elub
owner Harvey Gross, was
supposed to meet the ex-
tortionists “within a 15-mile
radius of the club, but (they)
never Showed.” The money
was returned to Gross.

Yablonski said the
helicopter pilot was “con-
tacted by the extortionists at
a specified location at. 12: 10
am. Wednesday and told to

- go to a second location.”

He said the helicopter was
to receive a signal from the
ground but it never came.
The dircraft “spent a good
half. hour trying. to make
contact, Hovering over the
meeting point...”

ended a tense stalemate that

began early Tuesday, when.
two people posing as com- .

puter technicians wheeled a
large box into the: casino-
hotel and left, a typewritten
note with their demands for
money and a helicopter.
The bomb supposedly con-
1,000 sticks of
dyriamite, which authorities
said was capable of levelling
a city block . of ‘lesser
buildings, The -blast tore
through more than 280,000
sandbags stacked around it,

glass across an estimated 19

Héalth foods

get big

VANCOUVER (CP) —A
growing awareness of
nutrition has given a big
boost to the health food in-
dustry. : . '

Take the case ;of
Lifestream Natural Foods
Ltd., which has grown in 10
years from a small store and
boutique into a company

with sales totalling $7 million

in 1978.

Peter Harwood and Arran |

Stephens opened their first
stere in the Kitsilano neigh-

borheod in 1969. Stephens -

had just closed the
vegetarian restaurant he
had been running for. two
years, taking with him §$1,-
000 saved from working as a
chemist, .

“During our first year the
store could only afford to pay
the wages of one of the part-
ners,'’ Harwood recalls, so
he continued working as a
chemist until 1970.

But it wasn’t long before

’ business began booming.

“In 1970 the counter-
culture was still strong and
people thought eating
natural food was one way
they could express their anti-
establishment feelings,’ Ha
wood said,

A year afler opening the

store, the pair decided’ to
open another store in
Gastown, But business was
slow so they sold it.

The next year they ex-
panded to their current
locaticn and began a
wholesale food business.

Their first foray into
manufatturing came with a
stoneground flour mill in the
front window of the store.

‘But by 1972 sales had grown

so it was no longer possible
to house all operations under
one roof,

They took warehouse
space and began churning
out breads, cookies, energy
ie and pastries from 4

moved everything to their

Today, Lifestream has two

retail stores in Vancouver,

base that makes everything
from peanut butter to

silano Lifestream store looks ‘
