Surely this is something from a science fiction journal? But no, it is true and it is brought to the citizens of this Province under the unsuspecting guise of the Year 2000 Graduation Program. This program is proposing to include as part of a students last two years of study, three new compul sory courses General Studies (Social Investigations) 11/12 not be prescribed by the Ministry of Education. Fine Arts/Technical Arts 11/12 content will vary according to choice of the student Guidance 11/12 - content as yet to be determined. These courses will typically replace three’electives which will be selected by students. It is important to point out that electives are not necessarily frill courses but rather chemistry, history, literature, or geography: courses, in other words, that students are taking in order to help them become more competitive for a shrinking number of post- secondary places. As a parent I want my children to have the opportunity to elect Three cheers for Multiple Sclérosis volunteers in best-ever fundraising Dear Editor: The local Multiple Sclerosis Support Group would like to thank the volunteers who donated their time and the stores who donated space for the annual Carnation Drive from Thursday, May 6 to Saturday, May 8, and a special thanks to all who donated money for research into the causes and a possible cure for Multiple Sclerosis. This year’s drive was more sudcessful than ever, thanks to the gen- erosity of the people of Castlegar. content may or may Castlegar M.S, Support Group courses which will prepare them for this tougher educational environ- ment, The junior school should have offered them the opportunity to explore; | expect the last two years of school to provide the intellectual discipline needed to succeed at a post-secondary institution. Further, I expect them to take courses which the post-secondary institutions will accept. Clearly these new courses will not be accepted by these institu- tions for admission. Alternatives to the Education Ministry's program will emerge as par- ents demand rigor in their children's course of study. Politicians will be pushed to finance a new form of private school, one that respects the broader wishes of their constitutents. Britain and increasingly the Unit- ed States are moving towards extensive public funding of private schools. Do British Columbians want this type of educational system? Do we want the two classes of ¢jtizens that will emerge with such a system: one group of “have” and another, probably larger, group of “have nots’? Is this the program of a government which claims its basis in the Regina Manifesto of the 1930's? Edward Harrison Hard work of past executive priceless Dear Editor: The following is a letter which we feel should be made open to the community. On behalf of the Castlegar and District Heritage Society we would like to thank you for giv- ing the new executive and board of directors a solid foundations on which we can build. It is through the strength of people like yourselves that the impossible is probable. Your willingness to challenge the unexpected and your futuristic visions make it all worthwhile. You have opened up a whole new avenue for the society that might not have been possible. It is to the advantage of Castlegar that you people have come forth and sought out what could be Although the executive and directors change from year to yeas.it is clear that you have set an eximple for all of us. It is with utmost appreciation and gratitude that we, the new execu- tive, carry on in the same strong and determined manner.

The girls team, which was made up of players from all over the West Kootenay practiced together three times before the tourney. Because of the distance involved for some of the players to travel to the practices, the num ber was limited. In comparison Coach Jack Closkey said some of the other teams like Prince George practiced together every week In taking his team to the tour ney Closkey was not after team development, but the gaining of experience for each player. “Team success is not an issue, you are looking for indi vidual player development,” Closkey said. John Ritchie coach of the boys Under-16 team, went to the tour ney with a young team ‘to let the players gain experience 4s well There were two grade nines and one grade eight oh the team According to Ritchie most of the other teams were made up mostly of grade ten players. “We went down with a group of young kids, most of the other teams were made up of grade ten players,” Ritchie said. Finding themselves out sized and out ranked by experience the players were bound to find it a ning and eye opening tourna- ment. : ‘Overall the kids learned a lot...they got to see what high level competitions are all about,” Ritchie said. The boys were on the losing end of their five games over the tourney but found each one a learning nt.
