10 - North Shore News — Sunday, December 19, 1999

Dear Editor:
Honesty abounds on the
North Shore.
On Dec. 10, while shop-
pin in the Capilano mall I
ad the misfortune of losing
my wallet, never thinking I
would ever see it again, I came
home and cancelled all my
credit cards. I still had things
in the wallet that I needed,
not to mention money.

Imagine my surprise on
Saturday morning, Dec. 12,
to get a phone call to say my
wallet had been handed in. !
was relieved for many reasons,
not only the money but other
tickets I had inside the wallet.
An employee of the B.C.
liquor branch had handed it in
absolutely intact — money
and everything. I offered him
a cash reward but he declined

asking me to make a denation

thousand who obviously
thinks that honesty is the best
reward. I have to say — as a
senior — he made my
Christmas. I oniy hope there
are more people like him in
this world. And a million
thanks.

from Ontario in 1985.

From day one I have mar-
veled at how much of our
beautiful city was accessible to
everyone, not just a privileged
few.

I marveled at the fore-
thought of earlier decision-
makers. So when the water-
front proposal was put for-
ward, | endorsed it in spite of
its cost, and I am, to say the
least, a financial conservative.

I saw it as a way to contin-
ue the legacy of accessibility.
On the surface, a majority of
those in the district did not
agree with me, but I wonder?
My impression of those in the
district is that most care about

election disappointments

these issues as much or more
than me. So why the rejec-
tion of the waterfront propos-
al?

T can’t help but think that
the proposal was rejected for
two reasons:

1. Low voter turn out; and

2. An election that was by
and farge, bought by a coali-
tion of people with one agen-
da, keep the. waterfront as
their private playground.

Tam sadde ened that so few
care enough about our water-"

front to get out and vote and ° :

that our municipal elections
can be bought by deep pock
ets.

I am also concerned: that -:
our district is about to be run.
by people who care not a whit
about anything other than
keeping their p' ayground pri;
vate. .
