Group confident NV band program saved THE SOUND of music will likely be heard in North Van- couver elementary schools in the 1992-93 school year now that students and parents have thrown their support behind a campaign to save North Vancouver School District 44’s (NVSB) band and strings program, a campaign organizer said Friday. The NVSB had said it would be forced to chop, the elementary band and strings program to help offset a $10 million funding - shortfall faced by District 44 for the 1992-93 school year. But a group of concerned parents quickly formed the District 44 Band and Strings Parents’ Association (BSPA) to raise public funds to keep the program alive for the 1992-93 school year. The NVSB told the group that if it could raise $513,000 to fund the program for the next school year then District 44 would con- sider allowing the program to continue. The NVSB is expected to decide on Tuesday night if the elemen- tary band and strings program will continue in the following school year. District 44’s secondary band and strings program will not be cut for the 1992-93 school year. The parents’ association had asked District 44 parents who have students in both the elemen- tary and secondary band and str- ings programs to contribute $175 per student to keep the elementary program alive for another year. It added that parents and stu- dents were asked to fund the pro- gram for the 1992-93 school year only. Mac Campbell, a member of the BSPA steering committee, said the group has thus far raised be- tween $300,000 and $400,000 to fund the program. “We think it’s (campaign) been going very well. We've had a very By Sur} Rattan News Reporter good response from enrolling stu- dents and secondary students,’’ said Campbell. ‘‘We’ve budgeted this out and believe the trustees will be able to see that this pro- gram can be funded for enrol- ment.”’ The BSPA, he said, has also raised enough funds to set up a bursary program to provide funds for those students whose parents cannot afford to enrol them in the band and strings program. ° **We’d be surprised if the trust- ees did not approve it. We have the funding capacity. I think you'll have a higher number of committed students for this pro- gram than in past years. **Also, I think the enrolment will increase once it is confirmed the program will be aliowed to continue, and we've budgeted for that,”” said Campbell. ‘We're clearly committed to this being a one-year emergency program on- ly.” District 44 chairman Richard Walton said the NVSB would only endorse a user-pay program if it made funds available for students who could not afford the pro- gram. ‘‘North Vancouver was the lead on instrumental music programs and is now a role model for the rest of the province,”* said Camp- bell. ‘It would be a crying shame to lose it.” up with a final resolution to the long-standing issue of marina-zoned land at the municipality’s Garrow Bay owned by women’s fashion retailer Marilyn Diligenti. By Maureen Curtis Contributing Writer As the owner of two residential lots, plus the marina lot in Gar- tow Bay east of Whytecliff Park at the foot of Nelson and Imperial avenues, Diligenti will be allowed to rezone and reconfigure her property into three residential waterfront lots. In exchange, she will give up some of her property for a public park and the right to use the marina lot for commercial pur- poses, The municipality gains a public park, a better beach and the assurance that the local residents will never have to worry about the possibility of commercial devel- opment, marina or otherwise, be- ing constructed az the beach. The May !1 public hearing on i the issue was the third go-round | for Diligenti through a proposal process that involved negotiation between her and the municipality, public consultation and a public hearing process. Each time through the process there was wide dissent among focal residents, with most wanting an improved beach with better ac- cess, but unable to agree on how to achieve that result. Several closer neighbors were not interested in improving the beach to the point where it would encourage too much public usage. Concern was also raised about the impact on views from the move of Diligenti’s boathouse. The Garrow Bay solution, which goes to third reading Mon- day night, involves a complex series of agreements that attempts to satisfy a wide variety of indi- vidual and group concerns.
