Youth problems addressed

things to attract a younger crowd
there.””

Suggestions have

been niade
that more youth workers are
needed to work North Vancouver
streets.

But said Donald Rutherford,
executive director of North Shore
Neighborhood House, ‘‘I think ...
we (should) also look ... (at) how
we provide youth with more ac-
cess to services that already exist
and (access to) decision-making. If
we don’t involve youth with deci-
sion-making and planning, we can
put youth workers on every street
corner and we're still going to

have groups of kids whacking on
other groups of kids.”

A move toward an active role in
community decision-making for
North Shore youth was made
recently with the formation of the
North Shore Youth Council Socie-
ty.
The ‘society numbers approxi-
mately 160 members and includes
two representatives from West
Vancouver, two from North Van-
couver City and four from North
Vancouver District.

It shares a space with other
youth organizations at 336 Lons-
dale Ave. in North Vancouver.

council call 988-2787.

by saving that members of the
council needed to discuss issues
with one another, Sager conveded
that the public should know what
was being discussed.

Questioned on his lack of
previous council experience,
MacDougall said he bad chaired
many meetings during his career
and therefore felt qualified to lead
council.

Meanwhile in the aldermanic
race, incumbents Pat Boname,
Andre Danyliu and Rod Day
defended their past terms against
the claims of the nine new alder-
manic hopefuls.

Graham and Friends of Cypress

“no” votes on the Cypress Ridge
golf course referendum, which will
be held in conjunction with the
Nov. 17 municipal elections.

tant municipal matters aside.

Ald. Day appealed for re-elec-
tion so that he could finish the
work he began last term on bulk
housing legislation and = move
council towards a ‘think smatler"™’
philosophy.

Meanwhile aldermanic hopeful
Bill Howard said young people
should be encouraged to stay in
West Vancouver ‘even if we have
to build housing like False Creek
has.”

He also pledged support
local merchants.

Ald. Danyliu stood by his ef-
forts to implement the blue box
recycling system and protect
creeks and commercial zones,
while newcomer Ron Wood said
there was a need for equality of
tax increases in the GVRD and
better cost-sharing formulas for
developers and the municipality.

didate Jack Forster said the golf
course proposal had been allowed
to go too far through the system
without public input.

But Lilian Thiersch said the golf
course was an important issue
“but not the only important
issuc.’” :

And she criticized the way : oN
council had allowed itself to be Ca . ,
dominated by the golf course
issue, while pushing other impor-

adding a traffic circle on 15th
Street and by providing small bus
access.

She also accused the current
council of lacking a real commit-
ment to the environment and of
being ‘‘stuck in an outmoded
value structure.”

Ald. Pat Boname emphasized
the importance of seniors housing
and recreational facilities.

She said attention should also
be paid to the municipality’s
young people.

Former alderman Diana Hut-
chinson promoted cautious spend-
ing, long-range planning, a
reinstatement of the housing task
force.

Another former West Van-
couver alderman, Don Griffiths,
said that council should look at
more programs like the blue bag
newspaper recycling system, which
he helped initiate and which an-
nuslly brings $100,000 into the
municipality.

A SOLUTION TO THE
CURRENT TRAFFIC CHAOS

A direct Skytrain link to North Van is absolutely essential if we are to
maintain our livability and if we are serious about protecting our environment
and our health. We must begin to push for it now not 10 or 20 years down
the road as suggested by the present district council.

The automobile is pouring over 600 thousand tons of pollutants into the
atmosphere over Vancouver annually. It is causing 80% of all air pollution
and effects are showing up in the food chain, even in mothers’ milk. It
contributes to the depletion of ozone causing serious ailments, including
cancer and nervous disorders. The costs to society for death and injury on
the roads are staggering. It is turning the region into a concrete jungle,
destroying the livability of residential neighborhoods, demanding more
bridges, more roads and more concrete. Look what it has done to Los Angeles.
It fs inefficient and consumes an inordinately high: and ever increasing portion
of our wealth and resources while other priorities such as housing and
education are short of funds.

We are moving cars not people while we are crawling along congested roads inhaling toxic fumes. While
the car has its place and is a necessity for some, we must find other solutions to enable people to travel

to and from work and educational institutions.

Many people take their cars to work because public transportation is too slow. Buses have to use the
same roads as cars and get stuck in traffic tie-ups. We need a Skytrain to North Vancouver because, within
the total picture, it is a cheap, clean and efficient way to move people. As the population of North Vancouver
continues to grow, there will be more cars. Compared to the resulting costs, Skytrain is a bargain. Even now
we are Selling land to finance road maintenance. That's how stupid we are. it’s like burning your house because

you ran out of firewood.

For District Council to ignore this is utterly irresponsible. But when | made motions to push the provincial
government and the GVRD for a direct Skytrain extension or at least put it in the planning stage, they were
shot down. They ridiculed the idea. It is too expensive, they said, showing how utterly clueless they are.

Who are they representing? | always thought we were elected to fight for the interests of the people
in North Van. If we don’t fight, nobody else will. And while everyone knows rapid transit must be the backbone
of transportation and is at the heart of community planning, it is hardly mentioned in our community pian.

If you re-elect me for another term as alderman, | will continue to push for alternate solutions to the
current traffic chaos. | ask you nat only to vote for me but aiso to vote for a truly community-oriented council.
