Dear Editor:

1 fail to see why Mr. Davis’
letter should be headlined
“He’s cynical about council
promises”. Let's be fair. Mr.
Davis is expressing the
resident's frustration about a
problem with which council
has not yet been able to deal.
Heaven knows enough time,
thought, and money have
been spent in attempts to cut
the problem. down to size,
and by the time this letter
gets printed council will
have taken action to try to
control a serious seasonal
problem in the misuse of
Pool 88.

But promises? I do not
recall council making any.
We have been trying to
control an intermittent
problem without destroying
the accessibility of the pool
to those people who use it
legitimately and sanely. But
the controls are not working,
and three weekends ago |!
personally intervened with
the RCMP to make sure that
all illegally parked vehicles

were ticketed, and those
blocking access were towed
away. I don’t like acting in
this capacity and = ac-
cordingly brought the matter
before council the following
day. As a result there are
going to be = additional
restrictions, but I for one do
not promise these will cure
the problem of misuse of the
pool; I've been around too
long to believe in fairies.
Councils have lived with
this problem for years.
There is only one sure
solution, and that is to close
the access permanently.
Personally I cannot yet
resort to this kind of action
because it penalises the
Majority for the bad man-
ners of a few. If Mr. Davis,
or anyone else, has any
positive suggestions for the
control of this situation, I
wish they would contact me.
Criticism without  con-
structive alternatives is a
negative exercise, and there
may be practical solutions
out there waiting to be put

He’s outraged

Dear Editor: ,

It was brought to my
attention recently that three
young black bear cubs and
mother were slaughtered in
the
Municipal Cemetery.

] have observed the same
harmless animals over the
past weeks. I am absolutely
outraged that such a
neediess act should have
taken place. I not only feel,
but I instst the Ministry of

North Wancouver.

Environment jook into this
matter and find out who was
responsible for this
inhumane act.

All I can say in closing, is
that I hope my bringing this

—1to public attenuon and my

condemnation of this act
may save some other of our
dwindling wildlife
