Members of the Cross Border Coalition to Stop the Radio Towers say their benefit event at Seabright Farms in Point Roberts on Sunday, Aug. 23 was a tremendous success, raising $15,000. Right: Craig Jacks entertains the crowd. The group is trying to raise money to help pay their legal fees in the ongoing fight to stop a plan by BBC Broadcasting Inc. to erect five 45-metre (150-foot) steel towers in Point Roberts, close to the Tsawwassen border. The broadcast company has gone to a court in the U.S. hoping to overturn a rejection of the application by Whatcom County.
