DEAR EDITOR

Ozone layer threatened
by L. Valley development

Dear Editor:

I read with interest your first
edition of Lynn Valley Echo. As |
grew up in Lynn Valley from 1933
to 1942, there were several items
that were of special interest to me.

However, the article on page 3,
regarding Tempe Heights left me
very discouraged. It is hard for me
to believe how in the 1980s, coun-
cil could give the go-ahead for
such a rape of the earth. Surely the
general public, let alone the coun-
cil responsible, must be informed

to some extent on the increase of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,
and how we desperately need the
oxygen that comes from our trees.

The comments made in your
paper’s article, ‘‘The new land-
scaping would not take too long to
bring the green back” and ‘‘people
have better things to do than slave
away in their gardens,’’ were ob-
viously made by people who did
not read the front page of the
Vancouver Sun, Aug. 20, 1988,
The Big Heat on the World Green
House Effect.

Drive defensively

Dear Editor:

A tip: drive defensively and
don’t trust approaching vehicles’
turn signals at unmarked intersec-
tions.

I saved a biker's life the other
day — he was nearly embedded in
the side of my car. He had ne-
giected to turn off his turn signal,
and drove right through the in-
tersection as I was about to turn.
Thank goodness | waited!

I told him of his turn signal and
he swore and fingered me.

As I parked my car in the front
of my house, he stopped and threw
a rock at my passenger door, leav-
ing a dent and missing me by in-
ches.

I was in too much shock to get
his licence number.

This kind of behavior gives
bikers a bad name, but this coward
would be the same on a bike or in
a car. His actions were incx-
cusable.
