tween Vancouver’s airport and Victoria’s harbor, has bought one
of its Sikorsky S-76 helicopters for $734,000 US, and plans to buy

one resident to push for a youth
curfew in the community. Maggie
Paquet lives a floor above the
Gallant Avenue suite struck by fire
Thursday. She has lived in Deep
Cove for a year. She would like to
see a 10 p.m. curfew set for youths
16 years of age and younger.

Paquet has been petitioning
since Friday for a curfew in the
area. She plans to present the peti-
tion to North Vancouver District
Council this week. The district
presently does not have a curfew
bylaw on the books. Curfew
bylaws are generally considered
unenforceable.

Said Paquet: ‘‘It’s not pleasant
heing here. I've lived in New York
City, San Francisco, North
Hollywood and London, England,
for years on end and I've never
been as disturbed as I have been
living fhere. It’s outrageous. It’s
noisy, there’s drinking and there’s
fighting. There’s absolutely
nothing for the kids to do down
here.”’

But said Deep Cove-Seymour
community youth worker Craig
Johnston: ‘1 don’t buy the notion
that the youth in the Cove are go-
ing down the tubes.
