Council agreed April 2 that development of farmers markets, tecycling and sludge marketing could be discussed if the commit- tee proposed by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is established. Ald. Brian Dunic suggested add- ing airport development to the list of possible topics. The motion carried, despite objections by Mayor Linda Michaluk and Ald. Dee Bailin. Michaluk said the municipality already has an airport committee to handle development. She expected North Saanich would be contacted by the chamber to appoint a representative to the committee, which would include North Saanich, Central Saanich, Sidney and the Chamber. * * x Two special days will be pro- claimed by North Saanich in April, but the municipal hall flags Ferry sailings changed for dangerous cargo Today's sailing schedule for the Mayne Queen is changed to allow the southem Gulf Island ferry to carry propane to Pender and Gali- ano islands.

D *x* Kk * The Sidney Lions Club is wel- come to work with the North Saanich Parks Committee to devise a community project for Bazan Bay Park, North Saanich council decided April 2. Writing on behalf of the club, Brad McCluskie said cleaning the park, painting picnic tables, raking leaves and adding more tables or an adventure playground have been discussed as possible Lions Club service projects. Kicking a police car will cost a 20-year-old Saanichton man $231.06 restitution, plus 60 hours community service work and 18 months on probation for obstruct- ing police. Gregory Blaine Fidler pleaded guilty in Sidney provincial court March 15 to charges of obstructing a police officer and mischief. On Monday he appeared in court for sentencing, following ‘preparation of a pre-sentence report. Crown counsel Edward Orm- heim said Fidler was one of four youths in a car stopped for speed- ing by police early Dec. 13 in Central Saanich. The car was clocked at 70 kilometres per hour in a 50 kilo- metre per hour zone. When police attempted to give the driver a ticket, an intoxicated Fidler inter- vened, threatening the officer, swearing and pushing, court heard. After Fidler was arrested he broke away from police and kicked the door of one of the cars. Placed in the rear of the police car, he bent the top of the door frame. Defence lawyer James Compar- elli said Fidler worked in an auto- body shop until December and expects to be working again soon. Comparelli said Fidler thought the traffic ticket was unjustified and, his judgment clouded by alcohol, attacked police. The incident is the first adult offence for Fidler, Comparelli said. His client seeks alcohol abuse counselling and plans to attend college and get a music degree, Comparelli said. As part of the 18 months proba- tion, Judge Stephen Denroche ordered Fidler to accept counsel- frame 7 -Gxzew- *FILTERED WATER *THERMOSTATICALY CONTROLED BREWING ROOM “FILTERING OF WINE & BEER LO OK 207 - 2031 Malaview Ave. COMPLETE LINE OF HOME BREWING PRODUCTS oe on DOM ER/ STEEL TAROUGHOUT (across from Slegg Lumber) *AUTOMATIC CARBONATION *BREW AT HOME OR USE OUR FACILITIES 655-7121 The Process In February, the British Columbia Forest Resources Commission announced it was seeking the public's views on the Future of Our Forests in British Columbia number of submissions received.
