Decision on Sager pub ‘outrageous’

OPEN LETTER TO W.VAN COUNCIL

This is yet another letter to endorse the sentiments of so many of our Dundarave residents with regard to council’s outrageous decision to totally ignore the expressed wishes of the majority supporting the Sagers’ proposal to open a neighbourhood pub. Even more incredible is your latest decision to spend taxpayers’ money on yet another survey when it is very evident there is Strong support for such a facility in the Dundarave

area.

Why. one wonders, is there seemingly such an obvious and determined

effort by council to deprive us of a much desired social

and convival atmosphere such a venture would provide? Even more per-

plexing is the rationale for objection when in the im- mediate vicinity of the proposed pub there are no less than four licensed restaurants; two almost immediately opposite Sagers, where during evenings or lunch-times, when incidentally school children are abroad, one can partake of egg rolls or a sandwich and consume as much alcohol as one desires? Why then is it considered a potential hazard to enjoy a glass of wine or beer and some light refreshment on the other side of the street? Do these establishments necessitate additional police patrols and are the chentele considered potential disturbers of the peace”

Better ways than burning

Dear Editor:

The recent decision by North Vancouver District to once again allow backyard burning, points out the need for a wholistic approach to various problems, in this case those of waste disposal and public health. The smoke and fallout from bon- fires are not just a nuisance to the people wanting to have their windows open or hang out their washing but they can cause considerable discomfort and difficulty to those suffering from asthma and allergies.

Rather than individual

burning or adding any more unnecessary material] to the Premier Street dump, let us think of an alternative or a number of alternatives. A landfill site purely for garden refuse? Shredding and composting on a municipal scale? On a neighbourhood scale? Shredding to produce “bark” mulch? Or to add nutrients to highway scars

and embankments? There must be numerous. other possibilities.

Incineration of garbage is not the golden panacea that many are hoping for. There

are serious problems, not just mechanical and financial ones, but health ones as well, due to their harmful emissions. We have been lazy and profligate for too long. We have to think through the consequences of our actions and inactions. We must make the effort to keep out, and find new uses for, the bulk of what we, presently, muddle _ all together and throw out as garbage.

‘Parish pump politics’

Dear Editor: I should appreciate if you

would publish this open letter to Mayor Derrick Humphreys:

Dear Derrick:

As a long time observer of politics at every level, I was disgusted to learn of the way that your council bowed to a vociferous and miniscule minority in rejecting the

conversion of the beautiful furniture store in Dundarave into the “Tiddlycove Inn”. This was a example of parish pump politics at worst.

Surely, the sort-of “adult”

pub that Mr. Sager promised which would be easy enough to enforce by simply having no juke box, no jeans rules would be = an adornment to the lifestyle in

West Vancouver and would

serve as a meeting place for so many of the older residents here.

I note that you are going to have another survey on this matter, and I do hope that, as a result of this face- saving move, you will reverse your decision. This will go some way to lifting municipal politics from the low level into which it has sunk.

Since I started writing these monthly artucles on hypnosis, I’ve been asked by many people just what kind of person is Dan Rutley of D. Rutley & Associates. It seemed to me that now was as good an opportunity as any to paint a pen portrait of the young man_ who its pioneering hypnotherapy on the North Shore.

Danis neither an M D or Ph D Fellow students in the classes and on the courses he attended in Canada and the US) were physicians and dentists, but tromically their instructors were laymen Laymen who, in thetr (ime. had trained thousands of professionals in the potential and value of hypnosis

even loosely construed as “medical” will be asked to obtain permission from their physician to allow Dan to help them. He is, as he has said many times, a “para- professional”, (like the X-ray technician or physto- therapist), skilled in the use of the specialized tool many physicians know little about.

Dan's principle quality is not that he hypnotizes people bul that he cares and is sincere. Every client he accepts 1s different. even if their “problem” ts essentially the same as others he as helping. Consequently, each chent’s sessions are geared around them, depending on their = personality The sessions are, in other words, “tailor made”

Since then I have seen hypnosis help people in many ways. In my own family for example, it was used to eliminate the pain in my son’s toe when he stubbed it on his bed: to relax my daughter before her finals and in my case to reduce stress and get my blood pressure back to normal. I've seen a stutterer of thirty years completely cured, arthritics alleviate the pain of their ailment without drugs, and the collection of lighters. matches and packets of cigarettes in his office, 1s tesumony to Dan's success at helping people kick the weed
