ection

Dear Editor:
On the evenings of Nov. 19 and 20,
the two evenings immediately be-

e)

fore the North Vancouver City
election, a ‘Dear Neighbor’’ let-
ter, bearing a date of Nov. 11,
1987, was delivered to homes in
the south-eastern area of the City
of North Vancouver.

This letter contained informa-
tion thal was completely contrary
to the facts, and did create a public
mischief as it resulted in serious in-
jury to the aldermen who lost and
who have served this city well.

This letter contained the follow-

ing incorrect information:
“Please be aware that the follow-
ing existing aldermanic candidates
— Ald. R. Hall, Ald. A. Blair,
Ald. S. Jo Dean, Ald. E. Kroon —
were in favor of an amendment to
a bylaw which virtually sanctions
unlimited helicopter landings and
take-offs to occur at the Cannell
Studios site (Park and Tilford).”’

That this statement is a complete
distortion of the facts can be
learned by any examination of the
minutes of city council which show
the following:

The minutes of Sept. 28 show
that Bylaw 5834, the bylaw
authorizing the studios, including
the helicopter use, was CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY.

The minutes of Nov. 2 show that
an amendment was proposed by
Ald. Blair and seconded by Ald.
Dean to restrict the helicopter

letter

landings to 10 flights per month
and two per day, non-cumulative;
to the hours between 7 a.m. and 8
p.m.: no flights on Sunday; and
the route restricted to Fifth Street
and Lynn Creek; and that this
amendment was adopted.

These minutes of Noy. 2. also
show that the only aldermen who
opposed the restrictions were
Braithwaite and Taylor.

That the perpetrators of this
mischief intended it as a roorback
is indicated by the following facts.
{A roorback is a false or
slanderous story devised for politi-
cal effect, especially against a can-
didate for office.) The letter with
the spurious charges is dated Nov.

. The perpetrators did not bring
up the matter at the public meeting
on Nov, 17, where the truth would
have been revealed.

Again the perpetrators did not
bring up the matter during the
television program on Nov. 18,
where the truth would have been
revealed. Instead the perpetrators
waited until the Jast minute,
delivering the libelous publication
when it was too late for anyone to
bring out the truth.

The names shown as the authors
on the roorback letter were as
follows: George Ellis, Peter
Ewens, Doug McLaren, Tom
Graves, Russ Allen, Doug
Whicker.

U.K. links being ‘destroyed’

Dear Editor:

Long after the War of In-

dependence the ties between the
United States and Britain are
stronger than ever. They are aptly
dubbed a “‘special relationship.””

How sad to see successive Ca-
nadian governments do their ut-
most to destroy our links with the
United Kingdom.
