FATAL ACCIDENT
Ban cyclists
from sidewalks

Dear Editor:

I’m quite shaken up. I knew that
sooner or later this terrible acci-
dent was bound to happen, and
Friday, Nov. 4, it did.

A man, scl in his prime, and
brother to a friend of mine, was
knocked down from behind by a
young biker — on the sidewalk.
The impact was so severe, the vic-
tim suffered extensive head injury
and four broken ribs. He never
regained consciousness, and Nov.
8 he passed away.

I know I, with many others,

have had near misses being run
down from behind by careless
bikers on the sidewalk. A sidewalk
means just that and must be a
place where any pedestrian should
be able to stroll without fear for
iife and limb.

Since cycling on sidewalks is an
offence with the potential for
serious accidents, it should be
banned from there, once and for
all — because, if it isn't, you or
yours could be next.

OPEN LETTER TO NORTH
VANCOUVER RCMP

We were at the North Shore
Bingo Hall on a recent Saturday
night and witnessed an assault
committed against a police officer.

We are sincerely sorry as we
never meant for anyone to get
hurt. There are many concerned
students hoping for the well-being
of the injured officer.

Because of the lack of discipline

of a few, the entire group wil! pay
the price. We, as a whole, are
without sympathy. We feel that
these people should be punished
for the injury they have done. It
shocks us to think a youth is
capable of such a vicious act.

On behalf of the many people
that attended this function, in
hopes of having honest fun, we are
genuinely sorry.

Support community groups

Dear Editor:

Christmas tree sales are 2 major
fund raiser for many of our com-
munity service groups, such as the
Boy Scouts, the Lions and others.

The money that is raised goes to
support very worthwhile projects
that improve the quality of our life
here on the North Shore.

Let’s go a little out of our way
to find one of these groups’ lots so

that we may help support their ac-
tivities at the same.time as we find
that ‘‘perfect tree.””

And if we pay a little more than
we would have for a loss-leader at
the focal supermarket, at least we
can enjoy having contributed to a
cause we believe in.

Poor Doug Collins...

Dear Editor:

Poor Doug — so bitter in his
columns that a gay can get elected

to Parliament and he can’t.

1 wonder what that makes him?
