Ao - Sunday, November 4, 1984 - North Shore News Healthy signs f voter turnout for the municipal elections is as satisfactory, numerically, as the can- didate turnout, the North Shore can look forward this month to a healthy exercise in the democratic process. In North Van _ District---where Mayor Marilyn Baker was returned Monday by ac- clamation---a total of 18 candidates, nine of them incumbents and nine outsiders, will compete for the 10 council and school board vacancies. District voters have ample oppor- tunity, therefore, to choose between con- tinuity and change, proven records and new blood, especially for the School Board. The same is even truer of West Van, where the election is highlighted by a battle for the top spot between Mayor Derrick Humphreys and challenger Tom Reid. The six vacant council and school board seats have attracted a total of 10 contenders, four incumbents and six others---among the latter, former School Board chairman Mark Sager who retired undefeated in 1982 to try for the pro- vincial Socred nomination eventually won by John Reynolds. Meanwhile, the West Van Electors Assn. lost its claim to speak for West Van as a whole when all incumbent candidates spurn- ed its endorsation, thereby reducing the WVEA, in effect, to a straightforward com- mittee to elect Reid and aldermanic hopefuls Bert Fleming and Bill Howard. For the next 13 days the electorate in both municipalities should now give each can- didate a full and fair hearing---and on Nov.17 pay all these caring fellow-citizens the courtesy of turning out to vote IN STRENGTH. Curbing crime ediation sessions between criminat offenders and their victims, native- led police forces on reserves, ‘‘wat- chful eye’’ training for realtors constantly moving around their areas, lectures to com- munity groups by jail inmates — these are among the scores of successful schemes in progress all over Canada to involve citizens in helping prevent crime.

When election nomuina- tions closed, not a single challenger to Mayor Marilyn Baker had emerged and so-- -to nobody’s surprise---she was returned for a second term by acclamation. Pre- sumably, no potential can- didate figured there was the slightest chance of unseating her, which in turn must mean a whole lot of District folk think Marilyn's doing Okay. Elsewhere, the nomination deadline did bring two sur- prises. One was the unex- pectedly large crowd of five outside hopefuls running for the Djistrict’s four school board seats, all of which are also being defended by their present occupants. Among the newcomers (for those in- terested in partisan line-ups) professional engineer Oliver Baker and office manager Nancy Huot are sharing a common platform. with right-leaning incumbents Margie Goodman and Ross Regan---though the latter strenuously denies any intent MAYOR MARITYN BARKER the folds universe un to revive FAG, the con troversial rightwing “Association tor Good Cro ernment’ oof ecarher eter LMOns In West minute former Van the last surprise camic when school board chars man Mark Sager announced he was going after the spare aldermaniv seat being Vacated by Doreen Blackburn With a creditable record as school trustee SIN TY YEARS SERVICE Wiatlewens fb € anndtian sunday brunch by Noel Wright “SPIRIT, receives Seymour Socreds’ Meldy Harris. already under his belt, Mark has been treading water po- litically for most of the past two years since retiring undefeated from_ school board to make a bid for the West Van-Howe Sound Socred nomination---only to be sandbagged in the MLA stakes by ‘‘parachutist’’ John Reynolds.
