Saturday; April 11, 1992 @

Dr. Suzanne Jacobsen, reg-
istered educational psycholo-
gist, was the guest speaker at
workshops for over 100 teach-
ers and parents held by the
Castlegar School District and
the Castlegar Chapter of the
Learning Disabilities Associa-
tion of B.C.

Dr. Jacobsen presented key
findings from research on ef-

fective teaching for meeting
the diverse needs of students
with learning disabilities. She
addressed concerns regarding
implementing integration and

‘modifying and adapting pro-

grams in an integrated class-
room. She also supplied teach-
ers with many alternate
strategies for student evalua-
tion and instruction.

During the parent work-
shop, she provided many tips
on what a parent can do. She
suggested for parents to know
their school, teacher, principal,
stated philosophy and school
schedule.

The more involvement par-
ents have with the school, the
more their child will consider
it an important place.

Ferry users claim victory

Scott David Harrison
EDITOR

The Robson-Raspberry Ferry Users
Ad Hoc Committee says victory is theirs.

Responding to Friday’s release of the
Inland Ferry Report, the local group
says they were right all along.

“What we have been saying from the
very beginning is that we saved a lot of
communities their ferries,”. committee
member Fern Allam said. “This report
proves that.”

While the Robson ferry may be lost
forever, Allam said the group can take
solace knowing four ferries are still op-
erating.

The report, concluded on Feb..29
1988, earmarked five crossings for can-
cellation at an annual saving to the
province of $3.5 million. Those five
crossings included Robson, McLure near
Kamloops, Marguerite outside of
Williams Lake, Fort Langley-Albion and
Arrow Park.

Ironically, the Arrow Park landing
was where the Robson ferry was
whisked away to when the Social Cred-
it government pulled service out of the
area.

“That doesn’t make sense,” Rossland-
Trail MLA Ed Conroy said. “Here (the
Socred government) takes away our fer-
ry to Arrow Park and they were going to
close that one all along.”

The report also outlines other sug-
gestions the government task force dis-
cussed. One called for the City of Castle-
gar to assume 100 per cent of the costs to
run the Robson ferry, while another saw

Westar take over the operation of the ~

Arrow Park ferry. In both cases, tolls
would be charged to help with cost-re-
covery.

Other options in the report included
hour reductions to the Glade and Nee-
dies ferries, as well as staff eliminations.

Committee member George Stein
says the changes were all part of a So-
cred plan to privatize ferry routes.

“None of this went through because it
all got stopped in Robson,” he said.

Conroy took a swipe at the previous
government, saying the report should
have been given to the ferry users some
time ago. He said the Socreds were
merely covering up their privatization
plans. :

“I read the report and I think to my-
self, ‘What’s the big secret,” he said from
Victoria. “The government paid for this
document with our money. Hell, taxpay-

‘ers should have the right to see what

they are paying for.”

Conroy said the rélease of the Inland
Ferry Report is just the first step to-
wards open government.

“We're not going to be looking for ex-
cuses of why we shouldn’t be releasing
documents, we're going to be looking at
the reasons why we should.”
