NV CITY CANDIDATES CLAIM

lo hot election issues

WHEN NORTH Vancouver City
voters go to the polls Nov. 21,
there will be no one issue that
stands out, say three aldermanic
candidates in the coming election.

Mayor Jack Loucks was return-
ed by acclamation, but the six
aldermanic posts are up for grabs,
with 12 candidates — including in-
cumbent aldermen Allan Blair,
Ralph Hall, Stella Jo Dean, Elko
Kroon and John Braithwaite —
vying for seats.

Also seeking election are former
aldermen Rod Clark and Gordon
Cross, merchant Jim Houston,
engineer Bob Davis, poll update
clerk Barbara Sharp, public in-
formation officer Bill Bell and
former city consultant Frank Mor-
ris.

With the controversial Park and
Tilford development approved,
some of the issues in the forefront
‘or the coming three-year term in-
‘ude the final development at
l.onsdale Quay and the fate of the
area’s city-owned lands.

“In a municipal election there is
‘arely one issue that galvanizes
people to come out en masse ,’’said
Bell, who ran in the last election,
out was defeated.

“There tends to be issues sur-
rounding certain areas, (but) it
isn’t like provincial elections where
there are issues that affect (the
whole area),”’ he added.

“There’s nothing right now
that’s going to catch alight,’’ said
incumbent Blair. ‘‘I don’t see any
issue that’s going to make or break
this election.”

municipal election forum, agreed.
“There are a number of issues,”
he said. ‘‘(And) there are some
very important things coming up.’”

City clerk Bruce Hawkshaw
could nat say how the lack of one
clear municipality-wide issue might
affect the voter turnout, which las:
year was 18 per cent.

“I would hope that we would
get over the 20 per cent mark,’’
said Hawkshaw. ‘‘if the candidates
are out doing a lot of door-knock-
ing then maybe we'll get the people
out."

Voters will have an opportunity
to hear all of the candidates make
brief presentations . 4 answer
questions at an all-canciJ .tes
meeting Nov. 17 at North Shore
Neighbourhood House.

Moderated by North Shore
lawyer John Lakes, the 7:30 p.m.
meeting will be held in the Inman
Room of the neighborhood house,
which is at 225 East Second St.

The remaining advance poll be-
fore the election is Nov. 17 at city
hall, and voters can register when
they go to cast their ballot.

Ald. Ralph Hail

Here's what prominent local residents think
about Ald. Ralph Hall:

Pat Burns, CJOR Hot Liner and former N.V. City alderman:
“Ralph will always gel my vole because he delivers when you
need him.”

Tom Reid, former NV. City Mayor:

“He used to refer to me as Tough Tom in his newspaper column,
but | can emphatically stale from experience that when he’s
looking cut for the City’s best interests, Ralph can be awfully

tough, to0."

Anne Macdonald, Schoo! Trustee and one of the founders of
Presentation House:

“North Vancouver owes a lot to Ralph Hall, and Presentation
House would never have happened without his strong support”
