THIRD CROSSING IS NEEDED NOW

N. Shore gets freeway ‘runaround’

Dear Editor:

I refer to the letter by fereniy Trigg which was printed in’ your paper on Aug. 7.

Thank goodness there is at least one other person on the North Shore who feels that we are petting the rumeround regarding the freeways and che need for a third croasing.

It is well known that the North Shore of Vancouver is home to some of the highest ‘ncome earners in Canada, anc by simple logic, a base for very fieavy incame, gas,

Crime Alert congratulated

Dear Editor:

Contrary to a recently printed letter critical of Crime Alert, Citi- zens United for Safety and Justice believes that publishing details of some of the crimes committed on the North Shore is a valuable con- tribution to crime prevention.

We are fortunate not to have a high incidence of violent crime on the North Shore but let us not be under the delusion that any area is crime-free. We must be realistic and face facts.

Every crime committed results in one or more unfortunate, direct victims. Citizens should be reminded that criminal offences are crimes against society — that’s all of us. Should we not be aware of crimes committed and concern- ed for those among us who have been directly affected?

Safety within a community is very much dependent upon citizen participation in crime prevention and good community, police rela- tions. Who is going to get involved in crime prevention programs if he lives with the myth that crime doesn’t exist?

Paranoia is dangerous and damaging; apathy invites crime. Congratulations North Shore News and continue Crime Alert.
