bears, raccoons or even
crows, whom do you call for
help? The question occupied
North Vancouver District
council for some time at
their regular meeting
Monday evening — and the
answer they had all along
wasn't too helpful.

Jurisdiction over wildlife
lies with the provincial
government under _ the
Wildlife Act — and _ the
wildlife control officer can
be reached at 4465 Sumas
Mountain, Abbotsford, 435-
4137.

The issue was raised in
response to a letter from
Marion Shipley of Viewlynn
Drive who’ spent three days
seeking help to get rid of a
raccoon which had _ torn
shingles off her roof.

Mrs. Shipley said in her
letter that she was con-

If you're bothered by =

tinually referred to the game
warden, but “he really can
do littl. His traps are
usually out, the demand is so
great ... he has not the staff,
facilities nor the authority to
truly help. The municipality

controls the use of fire
arms.”
She complained in a

telephone interview later that
there was “no direct route”
for obtaming assistance with
wildlife problems and said
she knew of many people
who had experienced similar
difficulties.

Council] moved to ensure
that the SPCA, the RCMP
and the fire department have
the wildlife control officer's
phone number and to write
to the officer advising him of
the complaints council has
received, asking him to
respond.

Alderman Mary Segal said

she is concerned that the

wildlife office is “grossly
understaffed” ande short of
equipment, but council did
not see fit to write to the
provincial minister in this
regard at this time.

Alderman John Lakes
quoted a radio broadcaster
who had _ suggested that
people were looking to
governments to “protect
them from the slings and
arrows of everyday life.”

“There has to be a limit!"
said Lakes.

The municipal solicitor
quoted the response of pest
control companies to

enquires on the control of
crows:

“No one can successfully
get md of crows — they are
too smart. Have you tried a
scarecrow or a stuffed owl to
get them off your property?”

‘Busy with God,

“We were so busy ren-
dering unto God that we
forgot to render unto
Caesar,” Jim Crook told
North Vancouver District
council Monday evening.

Crook was
representing Deep Cove
United Church, which wants
to build an addition to house
its Sunday School, AA
meetings, youth groups and
other activities.

Although he was given a

package of information on
siting amendments and
building permits several
months ago, somehow the
significance of the material
didn't sink in and now the
church would ordinarily be
facing about 15 weeks of
legal red tape before
building could commence.
However, District council
is trying to speed things up
and it is hoped that final
acceptance of the proposal

ot about Caesar’

can be achieved by mid-
August.

“We had foolishly hoped
that the wing would be ready
by September,” said Crook.
But a public hearing and
other bylaw procedures
cannot be bypassed: it would
be illegal, he was informed
by council.

“We are not trying to
dodge anything; we want to
comply with everything,”
conceded Crook.

Griffin Centre ready

The new addition to North
Vancouver's William Griffin
Pool is to be called the
William Griffin Community
Centre and is expected to be
ready for use by mid-July.

North Vancouver District

council approved the name
at its regular meeting
Monday evening.

The new facility will house
the universal] gymnasium
area for activities such as
volleyball, badminton ‘and

fitness classes and, upstairs,
arts and crafts programs will
be conducted.

The centre will be of-
ficially opened by Diastnet
Mayor Don Bell No date has
yet been set.
