In memory of Gary Nahanee

Dear Editor:

On July 3, 1992, Gary Nahanee
of North Vancouver passed away
at the age of 46.

I'm writing this not only for
him, but for the hundreds of
friends he left behind.

Anyone who had the privilege
of knowing him has every right to
grieve. Not only was he a family
man to his family, but he was a
family man to everyone else.

Gary had the amazing ability to
make everyone secure in who they
were and to believe in themselves
and the people around them. This
is a quality that we see so seldom
nowadays.

My mind drifts back to those
sunny summer days when the ice
cream truck would pull up on the
reserve. Gary, having spent many

of his younger years in an or- .

RCMP building ‘hopelessly

Dear Editor: -

Both North Vancouver City and
District. councits should hang
their heads in collective shame
when it comes to the accommoda-
tions for the RCMP.

The present building located at
13th and St. Georges in North
Vanceuver city is hopelessly inad-
equate. It is far too small for its
Present purpose and has been for
many years. {t is overcrowded,
cramped and poorly ventilated.

lt is clearly in violation of the
existing agreement between the
councils and the RCMP under

phanage, would buy all of the
neighborhood kids ice cream.

He saw in them the happiness
he felt he had missed as a child.
This I believe was the backbone to
his life — an admiration for kids
and friends alike.

i could write 2,000 pages about
Gary, but maybe some day some-
one will write a book about this
great man.

Until such time we, your
friends, and, more than anyone,
your family, will miss you forever.
The world will feel a lonely place
without you in it.

Everything that’s Good

Everything that’s good is gold
For everyone, or so we're told.

Once in perhaps a million years
Someone has touched us,
We know this from our tears,

which the employer, the councils,
have to provide a decent working
environment and minimum space
requirements for the RCMP.
Failure by both councils to five up
to their responsibiiities has put an
enormous strain on the force.

‘She situation is nothing short of
scandaijous.

The RCMP code of ethics
would never allow them to com-
plain publicly about the atrocious
conditions they have to work
under. But the system obviously is
not working.

Plans and drawings for a new

The great man who hands the
child a toy
Deep inside the man a boy.

Forever in our minds like the
ticking of a clock

in the deepest corners of our
hearts

A great friend that we have lost.

A bridge over forever, this man
has walked

A bridge over forever, one we
haven't crossed.

Now forever above us he’ll look
down

and sprinkle his friendship around
us .

wherever it needs to be found.

building have been ready for some
time and the site in the city
selected. But all further action has
stalled.

The force is entitled to reason-
able and adequate working condi-
tions and facilities. It’s as simple
as that. It is not exactly harmful
for RCMP morale cither.

That morale might come in
handy when we expect them to
put their lives on the line.
