School trustee candidate missed

Dear Editor:

Regrettably, your editorial column of Sunday, Nov. 9 made one unfor- tunate oversight: I, David Janis, was not mentioned as a candidate.

My platform includes setting a higher standard of performance for the board and opening its decision- making process to encourage better public, parent and teacher input.

The electors of North Vancouver District should consider my creden- tials as well in the search for that “uncut diamond’’ among the can- didates for school board.

challeneer George Suart all gave reasoned, serious answers suggesting long-range budget planning, liabili- ty insurance.

Challenger Paul Singh Hundal (a 29-year-old non-practicing lawyer who moved to West Vancouver 18 months ago) opined only that for- tunately, damage awards in Cana- dian courts have been much lower than those awarded in U.S. courts.
