Club investors looking for another location Dear Editor: 1 would like to respond to lan Roy’s letter in your July 26 issue regarding the proposed youth club. I too was shocked by the clear majority of council being against what Inspector Roseberry of the North Vancouver RCMP and the RCMP’s Crime Prevention Unit referred to as *‘a_ well-planned proposal’’ (their lstter April 9, 1991). During our initial appearance before city council on Apri? 15, some concerns were expressed and somc recommendations made. It was recommended that our proposal be discussed at a meeting of the North Shore Youth Initia- tive Committee, which it was, and their support was given. ft was also recommendeed that we meet with the North Van- couver RCMP Crime Prevention Unit, which we did, and a letter was issued by Inspector Roseberry stating in part “if this club should be established on the North Shore the problems, as outlined in my previous letter, could be resolved with them.”* Concerns expressed by council were addressed and adjustments made regarding age of patrons, hours of operations and an in- crease of security measures. Considering the support from government agencies and neighboring businesses, the city council vote was especialiy disap- pointing. We have written and veroal support from: Queen Macy Youth Outreach Program; North Shore Neighbourhood fiouse; West Youths attract ‘savages’ Dear Editor: I commend the decision by the North Vancouver aldermen not to aliow a youth dance hail on Marine Drive. It may well be, as its propo- nents claim, that the majority of participants are reasonably well behaved, but the trouble is that they attract a fringe element of savages who do all the damage. R.E.

Accepted by MSP ICBC, WCB claims accepted Youth Advisory Committee; North Shore Youth initiative Committee; RCMP Crime Prevention Units; the city social planning department; as well as 18 letters of support from neighboring businesses. The oprosition was largely from one man, Philip Mansfield of Hollyburn Hvundai, who exag- gerated the facts to strengthen his point — 500 teenagers and 200 cars. In fact, the club capacity would have been 250 with many taking the bus. Vancouver Comments made by some of the council members show little faith in the majority of teens on the North Shore. We hope to find a more ‘‘suit- able’’ location in the near future and then reapply for a business licence. We can only hope that more faith will be shown in the local youth and that their wants and necds will not again fell on deaf ears. B.
