Happy
with
crash
help

Dear Editor:

On Oct. 9 at about 6 p.m,
my girlfriend and I were
involved in a serious motor
vehicle accident on the
Upper Levels Highway. We
had just entered the highway
from the [Sth Street on-ramp
when we were hit from
behind by a vehicle that lost
control due to its excessive
speed.

My girlfriend was injured
as a result of the collision.

This is to publicly thank
all those who came to our aid
that evening. Passers-by
stopped to render assistance,
phone for help and comfort
my girlfriend, who was badly
shaken and in pain.

They also remained to
assist the police in their
investigation.

We wish also to thank the
West Vancouver Fire
Department and the B.C.
Ambulance Service, whose
compassion and rapid
response were much appreci-
ated.

We were taken to Lions
Gate Hospital, and I have
high praise indeed for the
two nurses who treated us
with such warmth and kind-
ness.

I do not have any names,
but I hope all involved see
themselves in this letter and
accept our gratitude.

Dear Editor:

On Aug. 25 [ had the mis-
fortune of having a painful
heart attack. | also had the
good fortune of recovery in
the Lions Gate Hospital. I
have heard people complain
about the quality of care they
received in Hospital, and I
wondered how I was geing to
survive,

I found the quality of care
first class.

All the warm, fuzzy feel-
ings the word “nurse” con-
jures in your mind were true
of the nurses in the Intensive
and the Cardiac Care Units.

They were competent,
caring and professional in the
way they carried out their
duties. They appeared to
enjoy their work and seemed
to treat it like a calling.

I found the same to be
true with the people who car-
ried out the many diagnostic
tests.

Thank God for such a
user-friendly institution as
Lions Gate Hospital.

Hydro vesponds
to cutting critics

Dear Editor:

Recent articles and editorials in
the North Shore News have taken
issue with B.C. Hydro‘s vegetation
management programs. ‘These pro-
grams, however, are important to
North Shore residents.

B.C. Hydro is responsible for
providing safe and reliable power to
our North Shore customers.

We also carry the more oncrous
responsibility of public safety. Trees
in contact with powerlines could
suuse fires, serious daniage to prop-
erty aid pose the threat of severe
injury or death to persons who might
come in contact with cither the tree
ora five wire.

B.C. Hydro has therefore been
granted specific requirements with
environmental issues, Plans related
to trees include:

@ Tree trimming — reduces the risk
of trees and branches falling on or
coniacting the power lines. This is
done on a regular two or three-year

@ Hazard tree removal -— involves
removing trees that have been identi-
fied us high risk to public safety and
our electrical facilities.

Hazard trees are dead or dying,
rotting, damaged by insects or dis-
cased, hive root damage affecting
stability, or other structural charae-
teristics that indicate failure is inuni-
nent.

Regular area surveys are under-
taken by qualified arborists using
international arboriculture standards
to identify, rate and prioritize the
degree of hagard these trees are to
our facilities.

Information on this and other
vegetation management programs is
available at all customer service
offices.

Residents of the Notth Shore are
invited to call our field operations
