The new facility, which includes 8€ driv- ing stalls, a clubhouse and a native art store, will provide focal golfers with the facility they losi when the Lions Gate goif driving range’ on the Squamish Band’s Cepitano reserve was closed in August 1991. _ But of far more importance to the North Shore and to the Burrard Band is the con- ception and execution of the project itself. The golf range represents a turning point in how the band is perceived by the North Shore community and how it is perceived by bawed members themselves. M952 “Enacting self-government comes more in the doing than in the repairs. jersey comes to The project was a combined effort of the band and the Asia-based Abbey Woods Development company. But the principles behind the project — band control over ownership, financing, training and devel- opment, environmental protection — were band principles. . The band not only had a major stake in the construction of the range — 36 members were inveived — it will have a major stake in its operation as 12 band members will have full-time employment at the facility. The whole effort was a major step toward liberating self-reliance. As Burrard Band chief Leonard George said of the project, ‘‘Enacting self- government comes more in the doing than in the discussing.’’ “NEWS ‘OF THE WEEK her most for Palazar Development Corp.’s Garth Braun, on concerns about wild house colors in a new discussing.

Bottom line on private ‘rights’ vs. group clout TWO NEWS STORIES last week — one about a sex icon, the other about a racist — explain why individual rights always lose out to “‘collective rights,”’ the politically cor- rect term for collective POWER. Sex, Maconna’s new collection of sexual fantasies, is promoted as “the dirtiest coffee-table book yet"’ and thus in heavy damand. As legally it’s not quite porn, public libraries — declaring they can’t be censors — are making it freely available even to pre-teens. Parents, school trustees, clergy and other guardians of whatever remains of community standards are outraged. Censorship or not, they don’t see it as the libraries’ mandate to provide — without parental know- ledge or consent — a free extra- curricular Sex 100 course for kindergarten grades upward with Madonna as teacher. The libraries are also a little hypocritical about censorship, since they meekly obcy official bans on controversial works that are of interest to many adults but of none at ali to young children. True, they can’t withhold a legal book that the public at large is panting for. But they CAN use a little old-fashioned com- monsense when dealing with eight-year-olds who come asking for Sex. The same brand of com- monsense that bans under-16s from driving. Otherwise, what libraries — in the name of coliec- tive rights —- are, in fact, doing is “‘censoring”’ the individual rights of parents. Then there’s visiting U.K. author David Irving, whom im- migration authorities are trying to kick out of Canada because he says the Holocaust has been exag- gerated. However offensive to some, his opinions in themselves — provid- ed they don't actively promote hatred — are not a crime in Canada. But it seems they are in Germany, where he was convicted of ‘‘slandering the dead.’* That was technically enough for Canada to deny him entry, though he slipped in anyway and is still here fighting. Since the Charter guarantees free speech and equality under the law, one has to wonder why the conviction overseas for an offence that is not criminal in Canadian law should penalize Irving. Does, for exampie, conviction by a Saudi Arabian court for drinking a scotch in Riyadh mean one is forever barred from enter- ing Canada? Personally, I’m sold on neither Irving nor his revision of history, but the reason he’s spent most of the past 10 days behind bars and in hearing rooms is simple. To the powerful Jewish lobby David Irv- ing — though there’s not actually a contract out on him — is what Salman Rushdie is to Iran’s ayatollahs. This is enough for politicians. Votes represented by a lobby — ANY lobby — are dependable. Individual votes are not. And unless you can get a judge to champion you, that’s the bottom line about private rights versus group clout.
