County sheriff's department, joined Rebecca for a fun-filled afternoon. Disneyland From page 1 arthritis, Said Rebecca, whose easy smile told the story more simply than words ever could, ‘I liked Star Tours. | sure want to come back. I'm really glad that there is a Sun- shine Foundation so I could have so much fun this day instead of be- ing in school and doing who knows how many pages of math.’’ Added Buchimayer: ‘‘I really think this program is a very wor- thwhile cause. My experience to- day is something | will remember always.”” Meanwhile Gregory teamed up with Orange County officer Jim Beauchamp. Said Gregory, a Grade 7 Maplewood Community School student, ‘‘I saw lots of rides and ! had a fun day.”’ Beauchamp gave the day a solid-thumbs up: ‘‘It went great. I only wish we could have been here a little longer.

Feds to meet with lobby group From page 1 industry, including Quinn, aimed at trying to refloat the icebreaker. The group is also addressing other issues affecting the West Coast shipbuilding industry. Quinn said he understands that a “‘senior official’? and possibly some federal cabinet ministers will come to B.C. from Ottawa next week to meet with the lobby group. Last month, the group went to Ottawa and met with several cabi- net ministers, including Justice Minister Kim Campbell, Transpor- tation Minister Benoit Bouchard and Capilano-Howe Sound MP thrills kids A boy suffering from cystic fibrosis was whisked away in an ambulance following the Boeing 737’s return flight to Vancouver. “The doctor felt that under the circumstances he would be better off spending the night in the hos- pital. They wanted to watch him, and they’ve said he’s had a very comfortable night. It was a precautionary choice,’ said Donna Czach, Sunshine Foundation na- tional dream activities coordinator. Czach and her husband Ec, the foundation’s national president, incorporated the organization in 1987. The foundation was launch- ed in memory of the couple’s son, Paul, who had muscular dystrophy and died at age 15. Prior to Wednesday’s dreamlift to Disneyland, the organization has arranged six similar trips from Ontario to Disney World in Florida. The North Vancouver Rotary Club sponsored five dreamlift seats, donating $2,500 to help pay for the local dreamlift. Rotary club vice-president Brian Motta also presented each child with a souve- nir Great Capilano River Duck Race racing duck coin bank. and Associate Minister of Defence Mary Collins. After the meeting, B.C. Regional and Economic Develop- ment Minister Stan Hagen, who is chairman of the lobby group, said in a March 18 News story that the cabinet ministers were unaware of the Polar 8 cost reductions worked out by Versatile. The reductions would have cut the price of the vessel from the $689 million estimated by Wilson to the original price of $350 mil- lion. Wilson's main reason for cutting the project was because it had become too expensive.
