It is hunting season again and the woods
are full of hunters looking for game. Many
people think hunting is a sport while others
think it is just plain murder.

Today’s question is:

“Is hunting a sport?’’

Ben Williams
North Vancouver

I consider hunting’ a
» sport. I have gone deer
_ hunting before, but [ve
~ never brought one back
' yet. I would go hunting
for the meat, not a
trophy.

Sandy Dawson
North Vancouver

I don’t think there is a
clear-cut yes or no an-
swer to your question. I
do think trophy hunting is
murder. Many _aative
“people hunt for food —
that’s OK. We must not
forget that we kill
thousands of animals
every day for our own
food.

Dave Parker

1 think hunting is a
sport. I'm not fond of
trophy hunting. It is fine
to hunt for meat such as
deer. Its good that the
hunter training course 1s
improving every year

NON-PROFIT housing
will be built in North
Vancouver District,
but the people of the
municipality won't get

any say in its con-
struction.
District council voted

unanimously last week to
approve construction of up
to 75 units in the Seymour

area, but narrowly defeated ©

a bid to hold a referendum
on the same issue.

The development, on
municipal-owned land,
would include mostly single-
family rental units and would
be leased by the District to
the Greater Vancouver
Housing Corporation
(GVHC). The lease would
run for 40 years, and through
a Canadian Housing and
Mortgage Corporation
subsidy, the GVHC would
effectively be paying a 2 per
cent mortgage.

A third of the units would
have their rent subsidized,
and rent for the rest would
be in the “lower end of the
market”— about $700 for a
three-bedroom townhouse
— said Mayor Don Beil in a
written report.

District staff will now have
to search for somewhere to
put the housing, but Bell told
council the most likely
prospects are Indian River
and Windridge, both éast of
the Seymour River.

Alderman Peter Powell
was the most vocal critic of
the non-profit housing
resolution, though he ended
up supporting it.

Powell attacked the timing
of the resolution and warned
that the non-profit
development would be “too

‘damn visible. It would
stigmatize itself from Day 1.”
Foo many questions

remain to be answered, he
said, before such a project
should be allowed and
“when the how, where and
why has been decided, then
the community as a whole,
which is going to have to
bear the cost, should
decide.”

He also objected to any
new development on the east
side of the Seymour before a

new bridge is built over the

river.

But Mayor Don Beli told
him the project wouldn't get
underway for a_ while
anyway, and perhaps the
Seymour crossing would ‘be
built by that time. He also
disagreed that the
development would have
any stigma attached to it.

“It will be attractive and
integrated,” he said.

Alderman Ernie Crist,
who had introduced a
motion of his own calling for
100 non-profit housing units,
also defended the proposal.

Non-profit housing will
attract young working
people to the District, he
said. “It is ludicrous to have
here when no
workingman can live here.”

Powell ended up support-
ing the resolution § after
adding an amendment that
would require the project to
be “compatible with the
gencra! concept of the area.”
