A classic illustration is the
“math love-in” orchestrated
by West Vancouver secondary
school teacher Ms. Rebecca
Rowley and other teachers.

In order to prepare stu-
dents for their final exams,
they taught help sessions dur-
ing the final week of school
from 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. for
no less than three evenings.

The students were led

dialysis

centre needed

Dear Editor:

After reading your editorial
of June 23, oudining the
uncertainty surrounding,
bridge closures, I was remind-
ed of earlier editorials concern-
ing the potential of an earth-
quake. It has been a major con-
cern for all North Shore dialy-
sis patients who could be cut
off from life-saving weatment.
Many appeals to the provincial
government for funding a
North Shore clinic are met
with a multitude of excuses. (I
think they are waiting to see

the final tab for Glen Clark’s
legal bills).

I suggest your readers refer
to the article in the June 25
paper headed Earthquake
awareness highlighted. Because
of the special needs of people
on dialysis I have a few manuals
left oudining how they can pre-
pare. These are free. The num-
ber of patients is growing every
day and the need for a clinic is
becoming critical. We can not
afford to be complacent.

Creek helpers thanked

Dear Editor:

Thank you for printing the
article on our coho release.

There was a lot of interest
generated from this. I would
like to thank the Royal Bank
employees for volunteering
their time on such a lovely day.
There were 82 members out
and they were able to paint the
yellow fish on 85 storm drains,
deliver flyers to 308 neigh-
bours and release 7,000 coho

into’ Thames and Coleman
Creeks. Thanks again to the
Seymour Hatchery for coming
through with so many coho, to
Fisheries and Oceans for their
transport of the fry and to the
Ecology Centre for the loan of
the storm drain marking. kits.
Together we can make a differ-
ence.
