AS A TRUSTEE and former West
Van School Board chairman,
Dawn Sikula spent a lot of time
listening to parents’ pleas relating
to enhancement of their children’s
education. Now, as a parent ad-
vocate, she’s appealing for com-
munity help with an education
enhancement project which vitally
affects everyone.

The ongoing ‘‘Counter Attack”
Program which aims to teach
senior school students the perils of
drinking and driving, culminates
shortly in ‘‘Counter Attack Week”
(April 28-May 2), with lectures,
discussions and films in West Van
secondary schools. This year they
want to add another element which
has had an immense emotional
impact on young people elsewhere.
It’s the live play ‘‘Who's Going To
Drive You Home Tonight?’’ writ-

The EXPO goal is to continue luring tourists and
capital to B.C. long after the last pavilion is dismantl-
ed. But if millions of guests from outside have to suf-
fer close-up demonstrations of B.C.’s unenviable rep-
utation for militant unionism, industrial turmoil and
excessively high labor costs, the fair could wind up as
nothing but a billion-dollar exercise in futility.

The world that’s coming to EXPO does not owe us a
living. Any contribution it makes to our future pro-

bargaining tables the first objective of all parties
should be to avoid giving our valuable guests any ex-

every single one of West Van's
1,500 or so grade 10-12 students to
see it.

Remounting two local perfor-

Foundation has promised half that
amount. Parent groups of the
three schools will chip in $750.
There’s a $300 ICBC grant. That
leaves $1,450 needed from other
donors.

A $5 bill from just one in every

the trick. Combatting the tragic

LETTER OF THE DAY

Cypress Bowl: here's a hiker’s beet!

Dear Editor:

Comments on the letter of Bar-
bara Fraser’s: Where's the beef?

The Cypress Bowl used to be
OUR park, free for everybody.
Now, that the ski area is leased to
Cypress Bow! Recreation Ltd. the
Provincial Government is paying
$80,000 a year to CBRL towards
the upkeep of roads and parking-
lots, in order that they provide

nery beyond
areas, and the experience cannot
be compared to walking the city
strects.
back-country we have to cross or

FREE access for the public to the
back-country. In case the CBRL is
charging us a fee, we should de-
mand that the province discontinue
this payment.

Naturally, we prefer the free ac-

cess. Thre are many-many miles of

hiking trails with marvellous sce-
the developed ski

In order to reach the

walk along the ski trails at the
beginning, but we are not using
their facilities all day.

No, we are not rock-climbers,
nor ‘‘ice-scalers’’. We are hikers,
hiking on foot, on snowshoes or
on cross-country skis. The beauty
of Cypress Provincial Park is its
closeness to the city, that one
doesn’t have to get up in the mid-
dle of the night and drive the
treacherous highway to Whistler in
the winter. Around Cypress Bowl

it is possible to enjoy the beautiful
Alpine country ina relatively short
day. If one is looking for an ex-
cellent cross-country ski area,
Manning Park is the place to go
to.

Yes, we drive cars, but the
hiker’s clubs usually form car-
pools, leaving some of the cars on
city parking lots and also giving
lifts to members who arrive to the
meeting place by public transpor-
tation.

The fee may not sound too ex-
pensive, but it could be quite unaf-

sioners, welfare recipients or stu-
dents.

Finally, as one of my friends
say: One doesn’t have to buy a
railway ticket in order to cross the
railroad tracks, why should we pay
for crossing the ski trails? Well,
this is the beef.
