Recently there have been
fatalities On Garden Avenue
due to careless drivers. The
area’s residents requested a
solution and worked with
North Vancouv istrict to
decide what to do. Decisions
were made without full input
from, or consideration tor,
others in the area.

A traffic circle was put in
on Garden in an attempt to
slow traffic.

However, the removal of
stop signs on Hope street and
the creation of a four-way
yield has produced no viable
solution. Drivers in this city
understand a 4-wav yield

Dear Editor:

Re: your Wednesday, Sept
9, North Shore News arti-
cle about the Sentine! stu-
dent party in the Capilano
Regional Yark.

T would like to stress one
point in your article chat I
was not happy abour.

It was ror the noise so
much that disturbed the
neighbors, but the fire that
was made in the forest, bol-
stered by gasoline, where
there is an absolute ban on
fires or smoking in our
forests throughout British
Columbia.

Tf che police did their su-

. called monitoring of the sit-
uation, why did they leave
the kids to keep the fire
going?

Was it not their responsi-
bility to call the fire brigade
if they were so concerned
about public safety?

. This fire was still smol-
dering Tuesday morning,

Two little fires were also
made amongst the roots of
trees,

The forest could have
gone up in smoke and the
houses bordering it as well.

. Who would have taken
responsibility if this had hap-

pened?

T live ina 14-unit condo-

given no notice of this action
until the decisions had been
made, We petitioned against
such action and found that

three people on our
street wanted this to take
place — the other 23 residents
be darned!

Facing Anger focuses on
explering our own atti-
tudes and values towards
anger as a first step in
learning how to:

© change our response to
anger;

e work towards express-
ing anger appropri-
ately and;

* ensure our
needs are met
in heatthier,
more produc-
tive ways.
Anger is 2 natural, healthy
emotion that you experi-
ence when you are felling
threatened or hurt. You
always have time to make a
clinice about how you're
going to respond to anger,

They have been arranged
in such a wav that not eves
the smallest car can make a
complete turn without driving
up on the sidewalk. Most have
to make a minimum of a three
point turn.

District hall has told me
that P live in a “democratic
society” and that the conumu-
nity wanted it.

When [ asked who he
defined as the community, |
was told it was mainly the
neighborhood two bl
over and a couple of individu-
als on my street.

Why do people blocks
away have the right to block
off my avenue? T purchased
my suite because of its conve:
nience; I commute to UBC
every weekday and aow my
access to Marine Drive is
gone.

however, how we choose
to respond to «anger
depends on our own val-
ues and attitudes. Many
of these values and
attitudes are
influenced by
our childhood
experiences of
anger, as well as
societal and cultural rules
about anger.
In order to change how we
responé to anger, ovr own
and other people's, we
need to change our expe-
rience of anger.

They teil me that it was
done to reduce the traffic on
Garden, but now IT have to
travel on Garden when E never
did betore. Ther’s vore traffic
not less.

Garbage truces, delivery
trucks, postal trucks, moving
vans now all these are
forced to nor only go back up
the street, but most of them
must traverse this narrow
street backwards because the
barrier makes it impossible for
larger vehicles to turn around.

T now also hve to listen to
cars grind their gears in my
driveway all night long as they
stop, back up, and try to get
out of the mess they find

to be a quict
