Five per cent
hike for SPCA

Sidney council will accept a
five-per-cent increase in the
Town’s SPCA contract provided
the society agrees to abide by a
number of conditions.

Aldermen balked in late
November when the SPCA pro-
posed a 1992 contract of $25.663,
which is five per cent higher than
1991. The matter was referred to
staff for comment.

The staff report, which came
before council Dec. 16, said “‘the
enforcement has been less than
Satisfactory with respect to the

complaints received by the town

on the enforcement of the (animal
control) bylaw.”

Concems included whether all
complaints were acted on. Staff
didn’t know if they were because
the SPCA officer didn’t communi-
cate with the Town, said the report.

Stipulations proposed and sub-
sequently endorsed by council
include having the SPCA officer
report to Town Hall at least three
times a week to brief staff on
action taken on complaints and
discuss possible problem areas.

The Town wants the officer to
keep a daily log on where he
travelled and how offenses were
handled.

Staff also wants fine increases
considered to help curtail dogs
roaming at large or unlawfully in
parks.

Project Safety Light has come to
Sidney.

Mayor Marie Rosko said the
project should deter intruders and
help prevent household and yard
accidents.

She said she has been in contact

with Sidney stores, which have

agreed to provide motion detector
units at a special price of $15 per
month for January, February and
March. Regular prices range from
$20 to $24.

Hunter right but Moises stays

Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Lynn
Hunter was proven nght Dec. 12.

Poor screening by the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service
allowed former Renamo informa-
tion officer Francisco Nota Moises
into Canada as a refugee in 1987.

But Moises, who now lives in
Victoria, will probably not be
deported, Hunter said Dec. 16.

On Dec. 12 Hunter received a
report from the Security Intelli-
gence Review Committee which
revealed Security Intelligence staff
did not recognize the significance
of Moises’ link to Renamo, a
Mozambican group trying to over-
throw that country’s government.

Moises allegedly admitted dur-
ing an immigration interview in
Nairobi that he was an information
officer for Renamo.

Hunter said she has tried for the
past four years to get Moises’ link
to Renamo exposed, in part to halt
the man’s alleged fundraising in
Canada and the United States for

Langford bust
geis scales

An investigation of break-ins at
Stelly’s Secondary that began in
Central Saanich led police to a
Strandland Avenue home in Lang-
ford where three youths were
“apprehended for offences relating
to Stelly’s School break-ins,”
Central Saanich deputy police
Chief George Lawson said.

About 12:20 p.m. Dec. 6 police
found a quantity of marijuana, a
set of beam scales believed stolen
from the school, video camera
equipment and video cassette
recorders.

A 30-year-old Langford man

was also arrested and will likely
face charges, police said.
. The three youths from Central
Saanich are ages 16 and 17.
“There was an awful lot of dam-
age to windows and glass and
we're confident that we have some
of the people responsible,” Law-
son said.

Renamo.

The Security Intelligence
Review Committee report noted
CSIS employees did not have any
information on Renamo and the
group’s alleged terrorist activities,
despite television and newspaper
reports on Renamo, Hunter said.

“The report is very critical of
CSIS” role in the admission to
Canada of Moises,” Hunter said.

Hunter said her complaint,
made 14 months ago, was the first
by an MP about the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service.

The security service reviews
applications by refugee claimants,
Hunter said.

“We want to ensure the hospital-
ity of Canada is only extended to
those who deserve it,” she added.

Since the committee investiga-
tion, procedures of the security
service have been changed to
allow greater communication
between the service, immigration
and Extermal Affairs, Hunter said.

However she doubts the report’s
recommendations will lead to
Moises’ deportation.
