for questions.

Much of the Inter-River area is
covered by the Lower Lynn Of-
ficial Community Plan (OCP),
and that. process recently gave
local residents an opportunity to
debate zoning and development
issues in the neighborhood:

One development. that. would
not conform with the OP's in-
dustrial zoning on Crowa Street is
the proposal to construct a half-
sized ice rink to teach basic
skating skills to children aged

Some suppers get you
thinking about more
than dessert. _

At St. David's, we're doing something new that's been around for a
= couple of thousand years--having people over for supper to talk about

what's going on in the world, Family. life. Cultural change. Ethics.
: Things that affect you, your children, your neighborhood.

“You can expect to have a good time. Our caterers are all set to serve
“up some great food.We've.lined up some excellent guest speakers,
And we've had musical animator Linnea Good put together a music and
i arts program for your kids that will keep them coming back for more.

“At$5 per person or $15 per family. it won't cost you an arm and 4 leg.
But make sure you phone ahead for reservations, at 922-3964. The first
“supper ison September 28th. We'd love to have youcome. Andif you

mother of three, who asked when
the rezoning bylaw for the private
ice rink would be initiated.

She said she hoped that instruc-
tional skating at the proposed fa-
cility would free up time on the
North Shore rinks for organized
hockey, because she was one of at
least 200 parents forced to take
her son off the North Shore to
skate.

Transportation issues provoked
almost unanimous frustration
from those at the meeting..

“Transportation is a joke.
There’s an awful lot of rhetoric,
but nothing’s being done,’’ said
one resident, who added that. bus
connections across the Second
Narrows Bridge can stretch a
15-minute car journey into a
90-minute bus ride.

Dykeman told the meeting that
the regionally coordinated trans-
port plan ‘‘2021"’ will be released
for discussion very soon.

Coun. Ernie Crist later told the
meeting, ‘If you believe, as I do,
that we have to get people out of

port then you have fo speak up.

Concerns raised by other resi-
dents included lane-paving, view
protection and a limit to the ex-
pansion of Capilano College.

Capilano College director of
planning Alan Smith told the
meeting that college growth is
controlled by the district’s devel-
opment perinit process.

The college is presently
negotiating adjusted parking re-
quirements with counci] in an-
ticipation of next year’s construc-
tion of its Phase 3 stucent services
building.

Two other four-storey buildings
are slated for construction at a
later date. .

Coun. Joan Gadsby urged more
people to get involved in their
community.

“The only way we can preserve
what is special about this com-
munity is if you get involved,"
said Gadsby.

RHETORIC AS USUAL

A recent radio news report quoted
a PC official as saying that the
PCs expect co capitalize on the
unpopularity of the Harcourt gov-
ernment in BC. He predicted that
the PCs would win 28 of the 32
seats in BC because NDP voters
will move to the PCs,

It ‘doesn't seem possible thac this
PC representative could truly
believe what he was saying, so
why say it? Such statements only
B confirm that we are getting the
J same old rhetoric and that noth-
# ing has teen learned by the old
line parties from their experience
in the referendum last year.
In a speech to Harvard University,
Kim Campbell told the audience
hat the reason Canadians voted
-against the Charlottetown Accord
was that Canadians do not have
A the civil competence to handle
® complex issues. Translation:
“Canadians are too stupid to know
what's going on in- their
Government.”
And then there is the latest
fundraising letter from Kim? It
landed in mailboxes a couple of
weeks ago thinly disguised as a sur-
vey of voters’ opinions. However,
J it requested a payment of $4.75 to
cover the cost of processing the
form. This must be the politics of
inclusion — you are included if you
pay $4.75.

The Liberals are coming out with
their share of rhetoric, too. Jean
Chretien is hoping to kickstart our
$700 billion economy with a $2
billion sewer project. Maybe he
thinks you can start a 747 with a
flashlight battery!!
Actually the Liberals are like
medieval. philosophers who
- believed that the earth, not the
sun, was the centre of the solar
system, and almost burned Galileo
at the stake for saying it wasn't so.
Reformers are on the side of
Galileo. We say that the govern-
ment is an important part of the
system, but it isn't the centre
around which everything revoives §
as the Liberals would have us
believe.
Instead of creating jobs, deficit
spending by governments has j
caused excessive taxes which in
turn is killing both business
investment and jobs. The only
way back to meaningful job cre-
ation is through control of the
deficit and the lowering of taxes.

Instead of meaningless rhetoric
the Reform Party provides real
answers to the problems facing ff
Canada. If you have had che
chance to see a copy of our video
then you have had the basics, but
there's a lot more to Reform. Call
us for brochures or drop in to our
office to have your questions
answered.
