Smelt catchers and

swimmers squabp

THE ENJOYMENT of warm sum-
mer evenings at Dundarave Beach
in West Vancouver became a miat-
ter of some competition and con-
sternation this year between swim-
mers and smelt fishermen.

WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

By Maureen Curtis

West Vancouver District
Council discussed, Oct. 24, differ-
ent ways to try and resolve contlicts
that arose between people on the
beach.

Although council has had a poti-
cy permitting net fishing at
Dundarave since 1993, the number
of smelt fishermen has increased in
recent times, according to Coun.
Rod Day.

He was concerned that smelt
fishermen have begun to dominate
the beach to the point where swim-
mers risk becoming tangled in the
nets.

“They are ruining the relaxed
family atmosphere of this beach
and will be driving people away.”
said resident Ralph Caroler, who
wrote the Parks Department twice
this year to complain.

olving a p

He suggested that all fishing
should be entirely prohibited west
of Dundarave Pier during July and
August.

Parks and Recreation Director
Kevin Pike noted that it is the per-
ception of some swimmers that
fishermen are not entitled to be on
the beach, while some fishermen
seem to feel they are entitled to use
the entire beach to anchor their
nels.

In his report to council, Pike
said that there have been relatively
few problems.

He said these have occurred
between rather small groups of peo-
ple.

Council’s policy permits net
fishing in the area as long as it does
not unduly interfere with public
swimming.

The district's authority over
fishermen on the beach is limited,
however, such that harvesting of
sea life is actually the domain of
the Federal Department of Fisheries
and Oceans (DFO).

Holders of vaiid licences are
entitled to fish the waters off dis-
trict parks, beaches and wharves.

“These activities are part of the
diversity of activities chat distin-
guish our waterfront parks..." Pike
concluded in his report to council.

While Pike suggested the erec-
tion of information signs at che
beach, Day thought signs would be
soamuch “visual pollution.”

‘YOUR 1994 RESP ANI
WHAT TO DO WITH IT

& Every year since 1980 we have taken it upon ourselves to prepare a list of recommendations ¢
B which we think are the most appropriate for your RASP. We have prepared a NEW LIST for 1994, :
fy adjusting for the economic changes we have seen and are expecting to soe. OUR 1994 RASP KIT &
B INCLUDES ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:-

B 1) Our PREMIER Mutua! Fund choices which include 8 top-ranked Canadian Equity Funds,
i 4 distinguished Canadian Balanced Funds and 8 outstanding Ferelgn Funds.

4 2) ‘Ifyou prefer stocks to Mutual Funds we have prepared a short list of 5 which we believe :
will do well. Many think that capital gains should be confined to non-RASP accounts. It &
seems to us that growth of your RASP by whatever means, is also important. b

Some investors prefer “Guarantees” in their RRSP. This section of our RASP Kit detaiis the ‘
best of the “guaranteed” options. '

THE RASP AULES, This section of our KiT outlines, in detail, how to calculate your RRSP jf
contribution limits — Spousal Contribution limits — the $8000 excess contribution etc. = &

We sense that having just one Self-Administered RRSP all under one roof is gaining 5
accaptance with investors. It's cheap, it's efficient, it can include all RASP eligible items

from GIC's to Mutual Funds to Stocks to 20% Foreign Cuntent. In our Kit we discuss the
merits of having your own Self-Administered Plan. a
