THE REVIEW

RCMP marine patrol still debated

A meeting of
Canadian Mounted
marine personnel last) week
determined the fate of two
patrol vessels stationed on the
west coast.

“We have decided to de-
commission the patrol craft
stationed at Prince Rupert and
Ocean Falls because they have
come to the end of their life-
span,’” RCMP Superintendent
Scott of E
headquarters Victoria said.

““We decided not to replace
the aging craft with vessels of

similar size,’? he said, but an
amphibious aircraft) will be
used and we are considering
acquiring two smaller boats to
patrol the areas.

Scott said RCMP. detach-
ment commanders with a
marine vessel were involved in
the meetings and most com-
manders favoured an RCMP
marine patrol.

‘“‘Most recommended we
maintain a marine patrol,’’
Scott said,’? but the majority
of commanders also recom-
mended that if the vessels were

used strictly for transporation,
then aircraft could do a better
job.”’

The meetings were designed
to look at improving RCMP
marine efficiency and The
Review was told last) week
factions of upper level RCMP
management favoured doing
away with patrol vessels,

“We are still = studying
commanders’ recom-
mendations with an aim to
making better use of our
equipment and nothing except
the de-commissioning of the

Letters To The Editor

Editor, The Review, Sir:

June 21, 1976, Sidney
Council UNANIMOUSLY
approved a motion to put a
referendum on September 11,
1976, to the people of Sidney
and) North Saanich. This
referendum will ask for ap-
proval of a recreation com-
plex, to be built on the John
Dean Park site. This proposed
recreation centre is to contain a
swimming pool and an_ ice
rink.

Last Monday at the Council
meeting four of us spoke
against Martin-Wallace
motions to alter the existing
plans for the recreation
complex from the pool-skating
rink combination to one
containing a curling — rink-
skating rink of the John Dean
site, and a separate pool to be
built, possibly adjoining
Parklands school.

We wish to challenge the
statement (June 30 issue The
Review), ‘‘Sidney Council
Regret Motion’’.

The motions for change
were presented very
thoroughly by Aldermen

Martin and Wallace, but were
defeated after lengthy debate.
No regret was expressed by any
Alderman who voted against
the motions for change.

If the fact) that) Mayor
Malcolm intended to call
special meeting,
June 30th, indicated he
regretted his decision to vote
AGAINST the > motions
perhaps it should have been
reported that way,

Wednesday *

On several occasions reports
in’ the press have quoted
opinions expressed by the
Mayor which did not reflect
the opinions of the majority of
Council. This would appear to
be another such occasion. ,

Editor, The Review, Sir:

I would appreciate your’
printing an acknowledgement
of the assistance of the people
of the area who were certainly
of assistance to me as Sidney
Day parade marshall:

Judges — Sandi McAdam,
Peter Remmer and Wayne
Coulson of the Peninsula
Players; and Val Stubbins of
Esquimalt.

Parade Assistants — C.J.
Smith and Rick Weeks.

To Fred McCullagh as
general organizer, and = to
Bambi Stiles who seemed to be
everywhere when she was
needed,

-Without the help of these
people, my job as parade
Marshall would) have been
pretty rough; as it was, 1
thoroughly enjoyed my_ in-
volvement,

I also must mention Gord
Bryson and the Saanich C.B,
radio club who made their
facilities available to us in the
communication dept.

1 was pleasantly surprised
at the enthusiasm of the loval
merchants whe supported the
parade by way of floats ete.,

‘) and by the number of out-of-

town entries.
Further,
embarrassed

when we were
by the lack of
suitable cars for the
dignitaries, Mayor Peter
Malcolm, Mayor Paul Grieve
and Mayor Peter Lazar all
were kind enough to accept

rides on either their) own
municipal fire truck, or with
the Little League kids. 1

thought it was very decent of
them, although I do feel that
they should ride with their
local constitutents.

I enjoyed the opportunity to
participate, and to meet so
many of the towns-people.

All in all f think it went off
rather well and trust everyone
had as much satisfaction and
enjoyment as I.

older Prince Rupert and Ocean
Falls boats has been decided,’’
Scott said.

Sidney RCMP. detachment
commander Sgt. Alan Tomlins
said there is a need for an
RCMP marine capability and
says Sidney marine patrols are
effeetive.

Tomlins was present at the
ieetings and was given ample
time to communicate — this
viewpoint to senior
management,

‘““All) commanders had
ample time to give input and a
decision is pending,’’ Tomlins
said.

Superintendent Scott said a
formal recommendation on the
fate of west coast patrol vessels
will be sent to Ottawa as soon
as the views of local com-
mianders are consolidated.
