A kiss and a new court date Surrey couple accused of bomb plot interact briefly before going back to jail by Sheila Reynolds THE SURREY woman accused of plotting to plant pressure cooker
bombs outside the B.C. legislature on Canada Day blew a kiss to her husband and co-accused during a brief appearance in Vancouver Supreme Court Wednesday morning. Amanda Marie Korody and John Stewart Nuttall, who are being held separately in custody, gazed at each other, smiling and chatting while waiting for the judge. During the short proceeding, Nuttall’s lawyer Tom Morino indicated his client was applying for legal aid. Korody did not yet have a lawyer. The day before, the couple was in Surrey Provincial Court, where they heard that their case would be transferred to the higher court for direct indictment. In Surrey, Nuttall, tall and thin, sported longish hair, a scraggly beard, and tattoos on his right arm. He carried a copy of the Qur’an – the Tom Morino Muslim holy book – into court and appeared at ease, sometimes smiling. Sitting in a separate plexiglass prisoner’s box, his wife appeared meek and nervous with shoulder-length brown hair, smiling only upon seeing Nuttall.
“... anyone in custody is not necessarily overjoyed with the circumstance, but I think (Nuttall is) doing about as well as can be expected.”

Should we share the load for a sewage plant? New treatment facility to cost $500-$700 million; Surrey faces 3% tax hit to ease North Vancouver pain by Jeff Nagel A PUSH BY Vancouver and North Shore politicians to spread much of the cost of a new Lions Gate sewage treatment plant onto the rest of Metro Vancouver is running into strong resis-
tance in other parts of the region. The new treatment plant was originally pegged at $400 million but is now estimated at $500 to $700 million. Unless there are huge contributions from the
South-of-Fraser residents were on their own to pay for the Annacis Island treatment plant built years ago. North Shore and Vancouver politicians rejected the idea of sharing costs.
federal and provincial governments, North Shore and Vancouver residents face skyrocketing utility costs that could add hundreds of dollars to their annual bills.
