a Dear Editor:

Mr, Mitchell's column re:
Winners and Losers was
incomplete at best since Mr,
Mitchell was unfair to those
mentioned, and in addition
neglected to include himself
in the analogy.

He stares that losers are
quickly forgotten and win-
ners write the history books.

«Mr. Mitchell must know
that he is in the former cate-
gory and that winners are
written about: in. history
books, they seldom do the
5 writing.

Again Mr. Mitchell does

his best to trash the Liberals
# but reveals his bitterness and
lack ‘of understanding when
he characterizes the four

‘Once again the district has failed to listen to the concerns of
ie Lynnmour Inter River community.

We are very close to many facilities on the North Shore, but
only way to get to them is by car. ;
Weare surrounded by. rivers ‘and highways, with no safe
Rpedestrian or bicycle access. Last year, the district announced
lans to construct a bike/pedestrian bridge across Lynn Creek.
“Hurrah you say! Wrong. This bridge is being built so far

orth, it will be of no use to the residents of Lynnmour.
For a year now, we have been telling the bicycle coordinator
d-the district that we need this bridge for access to Park &
ilford. Our suggestions to move the bridge further south have

falicn on deaf ears: The only purpose of

is bridge is to allow

Do these four sound like
a carping negative group of
elected losers as Mitchell
intimates? FE think not,

Perhaps Mitchell should
jook at himself having been
elected by his constituents,
isolating himself, a non-
functioner as a team player,
unable to bridge the gap
with his co-workers, aban-
doning his party and their
principles which he had pre-
viously embraced and finally
quitting because he didn’t fit
in having then considered
himself to be “intellectual”
as opposed to everyone else
around him.

Lam not quite sure why
he wauld be listened to at
this point and how he would
have the nerve to write an
article sc close to home
about winners and losers.

Mr. Mitchell is nor a win-
ner.

carp so much,
