Ferries’ terminal maintenance building will find a new home near Horseshoe Bay. Currently the terminal maintenance facility is at the Deas Island drydock benween Delta and Richmond. Bur B.C. Ferries bought land haif a kilometre from Horseshoe Bay for the new building. Gordon Wilson, minister responsible for B.C. Ferries, made the announcement Thursday on a radio show . B.C. Ferries spokesman Clay Suddaby said the new building will complement a similar facility already built at the Tsawwassen terminal. “Basically this brings a lot more efficiency to our termi- nal maintenanee function,” Suddaby said. “Rather than having people start their day out in Deas dock, and then driving out to Horseshoe Bay to do their job, they would just come straight to Horseshoe Bay.” He said the 590-square- metre (6,350 sq. ft) building will be located near Glen- cagles elementary school. But West Vancouver- Garibaldi MLA Ted Nebbeling is upset that no public input was sought on the maintenance building’s relocation. “The decision’s already been made,” he said Thursday. “Ic flies in the face Worker alleges death threats From page \ She said Tedja denied her request to return to Indonesia after the second year and the defendants kept control of her assport.

Ferries oper- ating deficits will likely lead to ferry tee hikes next year. Transportation critic Doug Symons released documents this week showing B.C, Ferries operating, deticits will push the Crown corporation’s debt up another $582 million within five years. He said the deficits will increase B.C. Ferries’ debt toa $1.7 billion by 2004. On Tuesday Wilson said, “I think some of the original projections with respect to the operating costs were unrealis- tic,” as the second fast ferry was being launched. “There’s absolutely no doubt about it that the cost of running a fast ferry is going to be greater than a conventional ship. We now have to position the company with a proper busi- ness plan, to put in place a financial management strategy that will deal with that.” The financial score cards also show the government plans to collect $42 million from tariff increases over the next five years without speci- fying what the tariffs are.
