Dear Editor:

There’s no denying that
debat< in North Vancouver
District council is sometimes
bitter, angry, acrimonious
and even petty and personal.
More often than not in these
‘verbal. sparring matches
Aldermen Powell, Lakes,
Rose and Ball sit in one
corner, while Ernie Crist sits
in the other. The mayor,
who should be an impartial
‘yeferee, guiding Council to

do its work expeditiously,

tends to go with the
majority.
This line-up of con-

testants, though rather one-
sided, isn’t new. It's ‘been
that way ever since I've been
on council. I. don’t mind
because I’m
good section of the public
supports, the stand’ I have
taken onrissues.

The problem really isn't
one of personalities. Don't
be misled by the bickering
and squabbling that takes
place often on minor issues.
Behind and underneath what
often appears to be petty
politics is a struggle over
policy.

It's been my policy to raise
issues, real issues of concern
to our citizens, such as rapid
‘transit, housing, taxation,
community planning; tenant
rights, hazardous’ wastes,
amalgamation, our relations
with the Greater Vancouver

_ “Unfortunately. in this
world, all creatures great and
small prey on each other in a
quest for survival, and all
foul their environment, etc.”
But is it-not known that man
is fouling up the world much
more than any animal ever
could? And on lovely sunny
days why do hunters take
their guns instead of a
camera?

I believe Mr. Hunter, to

be an excellent example of
..what a Canadian should be

— intelligently frank and not ©

ashamed to be compas-
sionate on subjects which
are not always popular, and
his reasoning is often above
the norm. He has given me
many a smile and a good
laugh by some of ‘his
hilariously funny remarks
which proves him to be of a
very balanced nature. I look
forward eagerly to his col-
umn.

Regional District and the
dangers posed by Hooker
Chemicals.

The majority on council
doesn't like seeing these
issues raised. They have no
policy to deal with them.
They like to sweep con-
troversial issues under the
rug. I don’t agree and I've
lifted the rug on a few oc-
casions to expose what's
underneath. My motions in
council and my _ public
statements outside of
council have caused them
some embarrassment and
have aroused their ire.

The result has been some
furious attacks on me in
council. They're tried to
muzzle me by limiting my
‘right to criticize council in
the press. They've tried to
intimidate me with attacks
and accusations.

I want to make
Position quite clear. I will
not stop raising issues I
consider of importance and
concern to North Vancouver
District citizens and I won't
stop making any public
Statements I consider
necessary. I will not
acquiesce to council ever
becoming a private little
club where the people’s
business is discussed in
secret.

council we had few citizen

concerns. In fact delegations
were discouraged and
sometimes refused. Today
there’s -rarely a council
meeting but what we have
several delegations or
requests to appear. I'm
happy to have made some
contribution to this change.
This is citizen involvement.
This is participatory
democracy. We can't have
too much of it.

For my. part, I will con- .- /
tinue to call the shots asI see

them. I intend to continue-
fighting on the basic issues
facing our citizens. My duty,
as an elected representative,
is to raise in council the
issues people raise with me.
And that is exactly what I
will keep on doing.
