Al10-Wednesday, October 22, 1980 - North Shore News inquiring reporter by | Ellsworth Dickson I know that if a child is really spoiled he will have a few hard lessons to learn when he is a teenager. But what about when it is the other way around? ‘Does a rough childhood make for a stronger adult?” Jim Mann North Vancouver I think a child from a broken home learns to be « more independent at an * earlier age. He has to learn to fend for himself. But if his childhood is too rough, that can hurt him. Sometimes there are generations of families on welfare. Jim Martindale West Vancouver Emotionally and mental- ly, it might make the child tougher, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the child will be any more successful than anyone else when he grows up.

Residents of Lynn Valley will be given a chance to discuss the plan with District council at 8 p.m. at Argyle Secondary school. The community plan which sets guidelines for future development in Lynn Valley was accepted as policy by District council early in September, despite opposition from Mayor Don Bell. “I personally opposed the plan bemg accepted = as policy before we heid this meeting,” Bell said last week. But he said the plan was accepted as policy with the implication that it would be discussed with residents and changes to it may be made. For this reason Bell wants a large turnout at Thursday's meeting. “I don’t want them (Lynn Valley residents) to think that we're ramming something down their throats.” Bell singles out two items that he feels will be most controversial at the public meeting. The first is a recom- mendation that Braemar Road be extended to Dempsey Road “to facilitate development of adjoining lands and again reduce the traffic flow on Wellington Drive.” Bell said this proposal is @® Oct SCHOLARSHIP Photo by Ed Hermingham JANICE CROOK. aged 14. the daughter of Mr and Mrs WF.

In March, District council deferred an application to build 19-units on the site pending adoption of the Lynn Valley plan, but the same company, Marbar Holdings has now submitted a new higher’ density proposal. The proposed develop- ment complies with the Lynn Valley plan and has been viewed favourably by District staff. In general, Bell told the News that he does not expect “quite the reaction” to the plan that the Deep Cove Central Area report was SEYMOUR given by residents two weeks ago. At that time, residents expressed Position to any change at all in the area. “People in Lynn Valley are more understanding of change in Lynn Valley,” he said.
