A In a letter to faculty and staff at Selkirk College, President Leo Perra estimated that the cut in payments in a plan put forward by Axworthy could have a devastating effect on the college’s budget and tuition. “It is estimated that the shortfall in these EPF revenues would require a tuition-fee increase of close to 165 per cent,” said Perra. “Such an increase would see an antiual tuition fee increase of $1,000 and a rise from $1650 to $2650.” In an interview with The Sun Perra has- tened to point ‘out that these figures are strict- ou BLUE RIBBON AWARD ed cNT RIA Blowif, ase woven sure There weren't quite 76 trombones, day.

Gas don’t require Pat “Rodrick is mad as hell and she’s not going to take it anymore. The Castlegar woman is upset because Shaw Cablesystems has charged her a $2 fee for not pay- ing her cable bill on time. But on time to Shaw Cable is a month-in advance—and that's what irks Rodrick. “They want their money in advance and if you don't pay it they charge you $2,” an irate Rodrick told The Castlegar Sun. “They bill you a month in advance, but I don"t watch TV in advance.” Rodrick says she contacted the Shaw Cable office to complain and an employee told her that B.C. Tel follows the same prac- tice of requiring payment in advance of the service But she countered that other to pay in q “Shaw Cable has a bloody monopoly, that’s the problem,” she says. But Jamie Corbett says Shaw Cable is willing to allow Rodrick to pay monthly, if she wants. Corbett, Shaw Cable’s region- al sales and marketing manager at its Cranbrook office, said Rodrick must still pay in advance for the month. He said Shaw Cable provides a number of flexible payment plans, including quarterly and yearly schedules “The majority of subscribers like the idea of paying in advance,” he added. Meanwhile, Rodrick also said she received a card notifying her of the addition of seven new channels to her cable service. The card indicated that she would be lly billed for the new channels unless she indicated that she didn’t want them. “T had to check this” off if I didn’t want them,” she said. Rodrick said she received the card about three weeks ago; at the same time that Shaw Cable intro- duced the new channels in the East Kootenay. “T told them where to stick it,” she said. But Corbett said it is the first such incident he's aware of. Shaw Cable sent similar cards to subscribers in the East Koote- nay, but none were supposed to be sent to subscribers in the West Kootenay. Rodrick is unhappy with the billing practice, know as nega- tive billing. “It's not right,” she says. But Corbett defended the prac- eee een See SHAW 2A { Miss Castlegar seriously hurt in car accident KAREN KERKHOFF Sun Staff Lana Sommerville, Castle- gar’s current reigning Miss Castlegar, is in Vancouver Gen- eral Hospital after suffering injuries incurred in a motor vehi- cle accident Jan. 15.

Both Evdokimoff and McGre- al were treated and released, while Somerville was later trans- ferred to Trail Regional Hospital with serious injuries. McPherson was charged with failure to complete a pass safely. Joanne Baker, coordinator for the Miss Castlegar Queen Com- mittee, was shocked to hear of the accident, but believes that Somerville will triumph over her injuries. “She's a very determined kid—she’ll come through this just fine. We're all hoping she'll be up and around soon.” Baker said Castlegar’s princesses will fulfill Som- merville’s responsibilities as Miss Castlegar until Somerville is able to resume her duties.
