Rec commission explains fees

Dear Editor:

1 would like to respond to Mr. TLE. Peck’s recent
letter regarding the fee increase for public swinuning
at North Vancouver recreation facilities.

The $4 rate has been designed as a drop-in rate to
include fees for any combination of racquetball or
squash, acrobic fitpess plus weight room, pool sauna
and whirlpool facility at Recreation Commission fa-
cilities. This package was deseloped ay a result of
significant feedback from our clients.

There is also the opnon of coming to the facilities
during non-prime time when. with the exception of
acrobic fitness, all of the above opportunities are
available for $2.25.

1 would further suggest to Mr. Peck thet i he
wishes only to swim to make use of the more than 60
public swims offered at the three municipal pools

each week. Phe adult admission price for these swine
is $2.78.

There are also a number of other tee-reducing op-
tions such os Our easy drop-in payinert plan.

There are menthly, quarterly and annual cates
available which represent substantial savings. Cer
example, the quarterly rate is based on o8o) one-
month rates and the annual fee is based on three
quarterly memberships.

fr must be remembered that the S4 rate is designed
ass combination of activities fee not as a public
swim rate during a tine when only wwo lanes are
available.

Chairman,
North Vancouser Recreation Commission

MLA Reynolds’ ad disgusts reader

Lonsdale Ave.

Dear Editor:

That was a2 disgusting piece of
propaganda placed in a recent full
page ad in the North Shore News,
titled ‘‘Update from John
Reynolds, MLA."*

There were four pictures of
Reynolds on the one page and 15
tines he mentioned ‘“‘1,’* ‘*me,”
or ‘‘my.’’ He's going to need a
recycling bin as large as B.C.
Place Stadium to accommodate an
ego that size.

In the ad, he admitted to han-

ding over a SJ4 million “loan”
(read ‘taxpayer dollars) to a
private corporation. Somebody
should mention te this man that
today’s electorate locks upon
government hand-outs to private
industry with almost as much con-
tempt as the politician and the
government making the an-
nouncement.

I'm a bit surprised he didn't
mention his grant to the private
West Vancouver Tennis Club for
anew bubble. We wouldn't want

these needy athletes te olay out-
doors, would we. John’?

The North Shace News tolls me
a full page ad costs about $2,000.
Wouldn't the menes have been
better spent on the United Was,
the Canadian Cancer Society or a
North Shore charity?

Instead of “Update. 1 suggest
he rename his next report ‘*Up-
chuck,"” so we can all be ready for
what he’s going to tell us next.

Dear Editor:

I have been reading the
North Shore News for several
years and alt J can say is
““Wow!”’

Between the two Bobs,
Hunter and Aiken, you have
become a newspaper — a
purveyor of very high con-
sciousness indeed!

Hunter’s article Price of oi]

IHusion of separation is man’s
problem were very impressive.
