Sorry about Folkfest row

Dear Editor:

Falktest '94 celebrated its 20th anniversary last weekend. This year Folkfest was chosen to host the Commonwealth Games Power Smart Sport and Culture Tour of the Queen's Baton. B.C. Hydro partici- pation certainly enhanced the three- day festival.

The steering committee, with representation from the three North Shore municipalities, also included B.C. Hydro, North Vancouver Recreation Commission, die North Vancouver Arts Council, Host Lions, the North Shore News and others,

The committee decided to include youth in the event with a youth concert at Norseman field to celebrate the end of the school yeur on Friday, June 24, and asked the youth committee of the North Vancouver Arts Council to take on this task,

The concert was a success. ‘The youth attending were well-behaved. Taere was no vandalism. Their departure at the end of the concert was orderly.

Youth volunteers cleaned up the site in preparation for the next day. Parents who picked up their chil- dren after the cvent said they were leased the young people had a con- vert, The proceeds of the concert are going to a legacy fund for youth.

We empowered the youth com- Mmillve ta produce a concert that would be of interest to them. With support they orgamzed, publicized and made their concert happen,

Unfortunately their chotwe of one of

the performers offended many in the community who had no option in this case but to hear the lyrics.

Eregret and apologize for the distress caused by the noise as it ciuried lo the north.

In hindsight, the plicement of (he stage anid sound speakers was vot the best "There was a great: vari- ely of bands, and bagree that one peuticular performer was extracrdi- narity profiine and did not meet our community standards,

On behalf of the committee, f wish to thank Superintendent Bob Byam and the members of the RCMP for the professional way they assisted with the youth concert. The youth concert was just one ele- ment of an event that was an enor- mous success. Tae Queen's Baton telay involved many people as it travelled across the North Shore from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay. The multicultural performances, children’s activities and craft mar- ket on Saturday and Sunday were a delight. The steering committee sin- cerely hopes that those who were distressed by the youth concert do not overshadow the overall success

Odd response to referendum

Deur Editar:

Your Inquiring Reporter in the June 5 North Shore News asks “if paying a service charge would deter them fram partici- pating ina referendurn.” A total of 34.7% say Yes and 43.6% say No (18% don't know).

The breakdown strikes me as rather odd when the current ref- erendum is about the Young Offenders Act and two areas most strongly opposing a charge are those with the most serious youth problems on the North Shore today (Lower Lonsdale and Lynn Valley).
