Jack Bosher Retires

The familiar pipe smoking figure of Jack Bosher
will be sorely missed at forthcoming meetings of
.the Sidney Waterworks Board. A man of con-
siderable wit and astute diplomatic judgement
Bosher took over the helm as Chairman seven
years ago, having already served five years with
the Board.
Few other posts on this peninsula had the target
capacity of this particular job. Water, being a basic
“ need to every citizen in the Town brought angry
phone calls and almost continuous debate to the
ears of Mr. Bosher.

With unflappable calm he answered and met
every crisis confronting the Water Board during
the long term of his service to this community and
there is no doubt in the fact that his vast experience
and talents will be missed.

Council Smoke

One can only applaud North Saanich council for
its gentleman-like solution to the probelm of
smoking at council meetings. They simply agreed,
without formal resolution, or indeed little
discussion, to dispense with any use of tobacco
while a meeting is in progress. They do, however,
have one or two recess periods where those of their
members who.wish can fire up pipe, cigarettes or

,even cigars. .

Sidney, on the other hand, being a less civilized
community, has taken a different tack. Those
amongst them, in particular Ald. Bob Wallace, who

"do not relish inhalation of nicotine bearing fumes
simply don a gas mask.

This, of course, mutes conversation amongst the
aldermen and can lead to some perplexity on the
part of spectators resident in the public gallery.

Central Saanich is afflicted with only one smoker
(besides the more scurilous members of the press)
and this gentleman, Ald. George MacFarlane, only
rarely fuels up his pipe. For instance, ‘this past
Monday evening he ignited it but once.

-Of the three solutions we must side with North
Saanich. Council meetings are murky enough
without the added distortion of tobacco smoke.

Sensation Seeking Journalists - 2

“Recently, yet another public figure was quoted:
out of context by sensation seeking journalists.

The Prime Minister of Canada visited Pearson

- College and spoke to the'students. After his brief
speech, he invited questions from these young
people; the theme of his speech was ‘‘Can we make
democracy work’’. The questions were shrewd,
pertinent and clearly stated.

One young lady from Argentina asked Mr..
Trudeau how he equated his personal morals with

his political decisions. The P.M. answered that he
didn’t, that his personal views had to be kept
separate from his political life as the act of
government required that he followed the wishes of
the people and not assume that he knew better than
they, what was best for them. _

He then followed with a ‘for instance’ ... the
upcoming debate on capital punishment. Here was
an issue upon which the whole Canadian
Parliament could vote freely without having to toe
the party line, it would scem to follow that the vote
would therefore reflect the wishes of the Canadian
people as expressed through the votes to their
elected representatives.

If the vote was for the retention of capital punish-
ment, then the government he headed would have
to hang people. As Mr. Trudeau is an abolitionist,
this would be in conflict with his personal morals,
-and, were he making decisions based on these
personal values, he would obviously have to resign.

In other words, the whole answer was based on a
hypothetical situation, and what came before and
after set the statement in its true context.

This is why television viewers in Canada and
eventually throughout the world did not hear ‘“‘what
came before and after’,

This would have taken the sting out of the whole
story and the event would have resumed its proper
level ... an academic addressing a group of
students.

In their zealous pursuit of sensationalism, my
colleagues did miss two better stories, but they
might have depicted the Prime Minister ‘of Canada
in a more positive light, and that is not a popular
mode at this time in history. (Some of our P.M.’s
antics and statements leave us all wondering at
times, but someone must have voted for him.)

One story was the reaction of some Pearson
College students from less relaxed political
regimes who were mildly surprised to witness a
head of state arrive in tweed jacket and slacks
without a retinue of armed guards, and willing to
discuss affairs of state openly with them,

The other, an offshoot of the first was the group of
people addressed — representing forty countries,
here on scholarship, possible future leaders of
those countries — being shown the Canadian form
of democracy,

However, in their cagerness to get a picture of
the P.M. tripping over a log or falling off the dock,
the reporters did not interview a single student, and
the story which went hurtling around the world was
a false one.

At the outset, I acknowledge
from Foods to

the need for reasonable
acreage in parkland using asa
guideline a common planning
figure for high density
populated areas of 5 percent.
In North Saanich, an essen-
tially rural municipality of
9163 acres, we have ap-
proximately 622 acres of
greenbelt and parks including
some 12 acres of parkland
which is under negotiation
with the provincial govern-
ment.

‘This acreage represents 6.8
percent of our municipality in
parkland, or, put another way,
we have approximately 7
North Saanichers per acre of
parkland. Additionally, there
are 1222 acres which could be
considered greenbelt-oriented
.in the form of the agricultural
station and the airport. |

To. Set the, record straight,
the “<"6ft-quoted taxation
revenue of the 2 acre so-called
conservancy park is not $265.
The property in question is
1.79 acres which realized
$127.92 in. municipal taxes;
$233.66 in school taxes and
$11.58 in hospital, MFA,
assessment authority taxes
totalling: $373.16 for the
taxation year 1975.

Observing the above, it does
not take a mental giant to
calculate roughly the financial
impact of: our 622 acres of
parkland on the 1975 North
‘Saanich budget of which
$508,747 was raised by real
property taxes, the North
Saanich share of the school
budget of $966,500 and the
hospital, MFA, assessment
authority budget of $46,450.
Additionally, in my view, the
federal lands are under-
‘assessed in relation to the
