lecture about beluga whales at City Hall tomorrow night.

Slides featured in the lecture -- "Fascinating Tales of Beluga Whales -- will form the basis of a June, 1995, article in the magazine, which circulates to more than 10 million readers.

Mr. Nicklin, who has lectured here in recent years, plans to give an anecdotal summary of his assignment in the Arctic and Alaska and then speak more specifically about his assignment photographing beluga whales.

The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and students. They can be purchased at the City Hall box office between noon and 2 p.m. today and tomorrow.

GREEN LIGHT FOR DINGHY CLUB PIER PLN Green light for dinghy club pier An application by the St. George's Dinghy & Sports Club to build a concrete wave barrier and pier has been approved by the Development Applications Board.

But the board said that "prior to the commencement of building operations a separate application for a building permit must be made and approved.'' In other planning news, the board refused the application made by Mr. Wayne Bean to revise approved plans for a balcony and basement area at a house in Patience Close off Woodlawn Road in Sandys.

The board said: "The scale and massing of development is out of keeping with traditional forms of development and the development is sited in a prominent location resulting in the design and appearance of the proposal having a detrimental visual impact.'' BEACHES NO LONG OFF LIMITS FOR DOGS ALS Beaches no longer off limits for dogs Dogs and horses will be allowed back on public beaches from next Tuesday, the Agriculture & Fisheries Department said yesterday.

Horses are permitted on all public beaches except at Horseshoe Bay, John Smith's Bay and Elbow Beach. They must be ridden below the high water mark at all times.

The use of public beaches for horses runs to April 30, 1995.

Dogs can use all public beaches at all times through to March 31 as long as they are on a leash.

SPEEDING RIDER SETS STERN LECTURE CTS Speeding rider gets stern lecture Senior Magistrate the Wor. Charles-Etta Simmons yesterday told a man he could have killed someone when he rode his bike at 68 kph last December.

Dale Fubler, 18, claimed he was rushing to work when Police stopped him on Ord Road, Paget, on 15 December.

Fubler pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court yesterday but claimed he would be unable to find other means of transport to get to his construction jobs.

But Ms Simmons disqualified him from driving motor cycles for two months and fined him $290.

"68 is high,'' she said. "I would be remiss in my duty if I let you just walk out -- you could have killed someone at that speed.''
