10 - North Shore News — Sunday, December 19, 1999

Dear Editor: Honesty abounds on the North Shore. On Dec. 10, while shop- pin in the Capilano mall I ad the misfortune of losing my wallet, never thinking I would ever see it again, I came home and cancelled all my credit cards. I still had things in the wallet that I needed, not to mention money.

Imagine my surprise on Saturday morning, Dec. 12, to get a phone call to say my wallet had been handed in. ! was relieved for many reasons, not only the money but other tickets I had inside the wallet. An employee of the B.C. liquor branch had handed it in absolutely intact — money and everything. I offered him a cash reward but he declined

From day one I have mar- veled at how much of our beautiful city was accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few.

I marveled at the fore- thought of earlier decision- makers. So when the water- front proposal was put for- ward, | endorsed it in spite of its cost, and I am, to say the least, a financial conservative.

I saw it as a way to contin- ue the legacy of accessibility. On the surface, a majority of those in the district did not agree with me, but I wonder? My impression of those in the district is that most care about

these issues as much or more than me. So why the rejec- tion of the waterfront propos- al?

T can’t help but think that the proposal was rejected for two reasons:

1. Low voter turn out; and

2. An election that was by and farge, bought by a coali- tion of people with one agen- da, keep the. waterfront as their private playground.

Tam sadde ened that so few care enough about our water-"

front to get out and vote and ° :

that our municipal elections can be bought by deep pock ets.

I am also concerned: that -: our district is about to be run. by people who care not a whit about anything other than keeping their p' ayground pri; vate. . Michacl Bonkoff | North Vancouver
