GST) Park assault nets jail term An aggressive theft of a baseball cap in Centennial Park resulted in a four-month jail term for an 18- year-old youth last week. Michael Edward Hewett, of no fixed address, pled guilty to theft under $5,000 and common assault in Sidney Provincial Court on Friday, after spending Thursday night in cells at the Ganges RCMP detachment.

The accused emerged from the group, grabbed the youth's base­ ball cap and said, "Don't f— with me or you know what's going to happen."

LONG DELAYS. But does that mean it should be dismantled in response to ongo­ ing efforts to rationalize government spending? It has been estimated that Salt Spring property owners could foot the bill for maintaining the Fernwood dock for as little as $2 a year. That would seem a more logical alternative to eliminating a structure whose value can be measured only in abstract terms. As a committee member pointed out, the dock's appeal is histori­ cal, recreational and emotional. It's impossible to put a price tag on such things, but $2 a year can hardly be considered excessive.
