A24 - Sunday, November 27, 1983 - North Shore News TWO FOR THE ROAD District, City losing familiar council names THERE’LL BE two names missing from the News coverage of North Vaneouver politics for the next little while — Gary Payne from North Van City and Ernie Crist from North Van District. Payne declined to seek a fourth term on council because of his desire to devote more time to his family and his career. Crist ‘‘retired’’ at the request of the voters who Payne: “IT’S BEEN a very, very meaningful part of my hfe. I haven’t left yet and | already miss it.’’—-Gary Payne It’s not the meetings, you understand. Payne, retiring after three terms as a North Vancouver City alderman, has not always been impress- ed by discussion that 1s poliucally-motivated and conduct that 15 “‘less-than- gentlemanly’’. What he'll miss, says Payne, will be the enjoyment of contributing to the community. Payne will attend his last meeting of council Monday. After that, he'll be devoting himself to family and career — while keeping a sharp eye on development in the City “T can’t really turn my back on that,’’ he says ‘‘I’m going to be very interested in the future."’ Wants ont ae eT, GARY PAYNE . Steps down Payne looks back on two particular accomplishments with pride. The first is his in- volvement with the recreation commission ‘‘at a time when placed him 500 votes behind Craig Clark and 1,200 votes back of Stephen McMinn, both successful candidates for the Taxpayer’s Association for Good Government (TAGG). The News spoke to Payne and Crist this week, giving them a chance to speak about what has hap- pened and what will happen. The stories follow. wisdom it was changing its emphasis to youth.’ The second — and the issue that will draw his atten- uon as it continues to unravel — 1s the development of North Van City’s Lower Lonsdale areas. It was his involvement with the Citizens Association for Lower Lonsdale that first drew him into politics and it was his involvement with the Lonsdale Quay Development Board and his part in ensur- ing that a public park was a major part of that develop- ment that appear to mean most to the retiring alderman. ‘‘I’m proud,’’ Payne says, ‘tof the urban renaissance of the Lower Lonsdale area.’’ Payne is hoping to leave a legacy of wisdom for council as « faces further decisions about the shape of the future in the Lower Lonsdale area. He'll be watching closely Crist: No illusions “MY MAIN contribu tion is that there are no more taboos | presented a point. of view that was not only valid but that also dealt with some real sues 7 beraie Crist bine Crist, clection night, CTMOTIONS defeated on adinits foo twa shook disapporntine nt abl then Phe was Crist claire ite victim of two forces What happened is that PACH) CLaaxpavers) Assenta Cie for Caco Crown etnane tt) teach a very SEP Catnip sign fitvanie ed obey the Socred tae bane om the North Shere and oty tay busiaess Phe wapod a Very very strony caipreatg obted OE cbt trrarte by tChrexe be Nera es Pie sect feeb wae et vos on ee rs thoy t ual comp hae eres ‘ We hact oa prebeeecutuep Ccrtny mittee crf BM poe pide wie: trade pop hids JO pede petieonye walls cant Nhe Nats Tic PONpOnsE we were peli wars covet wheliniirigely cer sargepeett od borsvec Coeust aseved ttyat ded as te. beheve bowas a show an CAPILANO TRAILER PARK dear de: @ ens stow the @ arty ters seaport se @ ne qe 987-4722 ERNIF CRIST “retired” trad ov.

What Payne sees as right, 1s deciding to develop the §S-acre Fullerton fill area not as a Roberts Bank-type por but as a North Shore version of Faise Creek. For the undeveloped City-owned land, he favors individual developments of a village- market type and not the development of another large mall. ‘“‘The strength of our system is the system ttself,’’ he says. ‘‘Council tends to homogenize the mix (of individuals).’’ There is a note of criticism, however, in his voice, as he continues: if you have some people with creative ideas and energy,’ Payne says, ‘‘the CONTINUED ON PAGE A25 nuclear arms (he plans to give notice of motion Monday to have North Van Dnhrstrict declared a nuclear free zone), his role in the development of a community plan, his impact on what he considered an industry favoring tax system, and input mito an update Mood control Mast Says, was his willingness to discuss things at the council table that had been taboo up until his clecthon important, he Cost sees his defeat as a turning point for the District Says Crist (oWuth the Com mg on tothe scence of TACd,s, no ipdividual, no rmdepen dent candidate bas a chance from now on TAGs. tas act ded oa new dimension to muatcipal poliws aad believe from now ont will be PACs vs polarized CAKE with a very approach to pohties Brom now on your i CONTINUED ON PAGE AIS VAN Tenders called for new Alberta bridge TENDERS HAVE been eal ed for a new four-lane bridge over Alberta Creek on Highway 99.
