A minor problem for West Van to solve

the taxpayer is probably
closer to $200,000.

Many incidents of van-

West Van trustees
out to counter
anti running attitude

‘West Vancouver school
superintendent Ed Carlin
arinounced Monday that he
will try to prevent an “anti-
running attitude” by bringing
local experts and physical
education teachers together.

Trustee Katherine
Newman said, "We have Sue
Hills in our district who may
be the best running expert in .

B.C. She has 800 people
running at the recreation
centre.” Newman urged in-
service training by such local
experts “before we get an
anti-running attitude going.”

Newman also said most
doctors don’t know much
about running” and their
opinions vary widely.

The. study was instigated
as a result of a request by
Alderman Doreen Black-
burn to the community
services advisory com-
mission last June.

In August, a meeting was
held and attended by
representatives of the local
school board, police and

“various council departments
parks and
recreation and public works,
as well as two North
American experts on crime
prevention - Dr. Pat and
Paul Brantingham of SFU.

A discussion on the
problems of vandalism in the

$17,000 stolen from

Experimenting with vandalism

Lower Mainland was enough .

for the meeting to agree:

“Although West Van-
couver. does experience
enough vandalism to cause
concern, the problem here is
minimal compared to other
areas of the regional
district.”

Their conclusion was that
it is much easier to prevent
vandalism when it is oc-
curring in a specific area and
when there is information as
to the times and types of
vandalism.

Thus the study which is to
be carried out, in which the

Brantinghams will combine
with students and West Van
Police to collect statistics on
vandalism.in West Van.

Meanwhile, Aiderman
Blackburn, who started the
whole thing, thinks it’s time
many West Vancouver
parents woke up to the fact
that their children are
vandals and did something
about it.

She says: “If only the
taxpayers would realize it’s
their own kids causing
vandalism and that it comes
back to the taxpayers
themselves in the taxes.”
