Suffering
the side

effects of
mall haul

Dear Editor:

To whom it may concern:

Me: A bitter carpenter's wife.

You: The thief who robbed
my husband’s truck at the Park
Royal Shopping Centre on
| Thursday, Aug. 15 berween
8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. while
he was inside working.

Working: What most people
do to earn’a living instead of
stealing from others.

Your haul: His prized tool,
an expensive cordless drill, some
router bits, his lunch (was the
baloney sandwich good?), his

"medications including Ultradol

and Androsone (anti-inflamato-
" ties) and Tylenol 3. He’ takes

these. drugs when his pain.

. - becomes’ unbearable. Is that
- why you stole his tools? For
2 drugs? -: ;
Insurance: Don’t comfort

- yourself with ‘the thought that’ ”

the insurance will pay. Your haul
was $405, which is under our
$500 deductible.

My comfort: Popa couple of |

Ultradol. and suffer the same
side effects as my husband.

- Understanding
yas
whales’ plight
Dear Editor: oy

I would like to ‘applaud

‘Hilary Campbell and . her
wonderful letter of Aug. 14.

. Hilary, there are so. few
- people who understand. the

plight of not only whales, but
all:animals in captivity.

Your compassion at such
an early age warms my heart.

“Tf you and your family would
like to observe orcas in their
natural habitat, try visiting
them at the Lifeforce Orca
Centre in Point Roberts. You
can'view these beautiful crea-

~ tures’ from the fand-based
whale-watch station and learn
about them in the education
centre. Which is the way
everyone should see whales.

Dear Editor:

Open letter to search and
rescue volunteers:

TL would like to express my

appreciation for the efforts of

your search and rescue teams
in searching for my son Wylie
Brillon and his two friends
Steve Carr and Mike Nikel on
the Lions, Aug. 5 and 6,
1996, It is reassuring to
know that such programs
exist.

The dedication and skill of

all othe volunteers was
notable. The — volunteers
worked very hard through-
out the night and were ready
to go again in daylight. The
search coordinators kept us
very well informed and it was
very clear that they had the
situation completely under
control which helped to
make a very scary night a lit-
tle more bearable.

As a parent [ am very
grateful to have my son back

In Appreciation Of

the District of North Vancouver
the District of West Vancouver
the City of North Vancouver

for their generous support of the women and children
in crisis who turn to the Emily Murphy Transition House

Thank you from the North Shore Crisis Services Society 3)
