Ferry Corporation to come up with a plan. It isn't the best of plans but it appears better than the status quo. Unfortunately, the latest financial news out of the cor­ poration makes it likely to be the best plan we'll see for some time to come. The provincial government's experiment with building high­ speed catamarans is a financial disaster. The initial cost projection was $70 million. The final cost of building the first catamaran is now estimated to reach $120 million. The matter is serious enough to warrant the resignation on Sunday of B.C. Ferries chief Tom Ward, who took over from Frank Rhodes less than a year ago. It is also serious enough to war­ rant extreme concern about British Columbia's prospects under the Glen Clark administration. B.C. Ferries was in a deep hole finan­ cially before now. The Pacificat's cost overrun sinks the corpora­ tion significantly deeper. Provincial revenues are running below expectations, meaning further growth in the provincial debt. That in turn makes it unlikely we'll see much money available for capital expenditures at the ferry corporation. Yet it was the Glen Clark government that launched the fast-ferry project, not the corporation itself. This was a political decision, taken to give a helping hand to B.C.'s ship­ building industry. The entire province will pay for this fiasco, but islanders will pay first. The new transportation plan for Gulf Islands routes is probably the best we can do with the existing fleet. There simply isn't enough capacity in the vessels currently in operation. But there is no money to purchase new ferries, and that's how islanders will pay. We're going to have to make do with what we've got, which will mean inadequate service on a number of routes at peak periods. Ben Smith rides the airwaves on his skateboard The prospects for efficient ferry transportation are as bleak as Photo by Derrick Lundy they are for a healthy provincial economy.

By 1995, when the leases were to be renewed, the value of some of the lots, particularly those with a view of the Fraser, was assessed at $600,000. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that based in the six-per-cent-of-value formula, a $600,000 property would fetch $36,000 a year. And that's what the Musqueam band wanted, period.

Initially, the homeowners offered to pay $1,000 a year. Their final offer was $6,000 a year. but the kitchen sink on sale! I must tell you that I, too, would have flatly rejected those offers and done what the band did — take the issue to court, which ruled in 1997 that the land was worth $600,000 but that this value had been reduced by at least 50 per cent because of the risk of blockades. The band appealed and last December got a ruling that the 74 homeowners are legally bound to pay six per cent of the mar­ ket value, after deducting the original cost of developing the property, a deduction of $117,000. That leaves the homeown­ ers to pay $28,000 a year. True, the homeowners are in a real pickle. Banks are proba­ bly as eager to underwrite mortgage renewals on these homes as a pig is to get to the slaughterhouse. But a contract is a con­ tract. I can't help but wonder who the lawyers were that advised All major appliances, home electronics, the homeowners when they signed the leases back in 1965. Didn't they tell the people that leases are a tricky business at home improvements and best? And if they did, why didn't the people listen? As I see it, the homeowners pretty well got a free ride for 30 years, while the Musqueam band got screwed. outdoor power products are on sale.* Now the shoe is on the other foot, and I just can't find it in my heart to condemn the Musqueam band for its insistence that the people who signed the contracts honour them.

CONTACT: MIKE LEVIN, 537-9933, EXT. 208 Geezers game cut short An exhibition match between Salt Spring Geezers and the island's under-17 boys was cut short due to deteriorated field conditions Sunday at GISS. With 15 minutes left in the cold, wet second half, referee Mary-Anne Legg called the game with the Geezers leading 3-0. "I couldn't feel my legs and I could only imagine what the players were feeling," said Legg. Rangers explode to 5-0 win It was enough to make any coach smile.
