It has also applied for another
increase, which seems to be

ferring a channel from their
“full cable service package” to
the basic cable service.

I have the following com-

ments:

Regarding the first rate
increase: Rate increases have
been made in my billings of
Sept./90, July/91, Dec./91,
Feb./92, Aug./92, Dec./92,

the addition of a channel or
channels that I didn’t want but
was forced to pay for in order to
continue receiving some that I
did, I have seen no marked

in overall quality

or reliability.

Regarding the second rate
increase: my billings all show
that I am being charged for
basic and for full cable service.
In other words, I am already
paying for the channel which is

transferred.

Notwithstanding that, I am
told that my rates will increase

How is “7 that I can be
charged extra for a channel
already being transmitted on the

What is a pass-through fee?

How ‘long do subscribers go

when it is already on the cable?

Why should I pay for the
transfer between services when
I am already paying fees for
both services?

Castlegar and District United Way Disbursements

You helped make it happen

Submitted

Do you know that last year
176 children in Castlegar were
helped thanks to your generous
donations to the Castlegar and
District United Way?

With your donations through
the Castlegar and District United
Way, the B.C. Children's Hospi-
tal in Vancouver was able to care
for 176 sick children of Castlegar.

Last year one in three Castle-
gar residents used services both
in and out of town. Your sup-
port made that happen.

This year's goal is $50,000
To date the Castlegar and Dis-
trict United Way has raised
$38,000. With your help our
goal can be realized. Think of

those the Castlegar and District
United Way can help in 1995 if
they meet or exceed their goal.

But when you donate where
exactly does your money go?

For every dollar donated to
the United Way, 13.4 per cent
goes towards Red Cross; 8.7
per cent goes towards Castlegar
Community Services, .5 per
cent goes towards the Block
Parent program, 8.2 per cent is
directed to Children's Hospital;
19.4 per cent is donated to the
Kootenay Columbia Child Care
Society; the National Exhibi
tion Centre receives 4.0 per
cent; F.A.LR. receives 2.5 per
cent; Camp Koolaree receives
2.5 per cent; CNIB receives
13.4 per cent; and 31.8 per cent
remains to be allocated

He was chair of the Trail School
District for many years, and also
served with the B.C. School
Trustees Association. He was
president of that body for two
consecutive years, which was the
first time the honor had been
extended to a trustee.

After the MacDonald Report
on Education was issued he
become involved with the recom-
mended post-secondary education
schemes and the formation of
community colleges in B.C. He
became a missionary for the new
concept and traveled the province
to promote what he referred to as
“the life chances of the people”.

After retiring from Cominco
in 1975 he served as executive
director for the fledgling B.C.
Association of Colleges for
almost 10 years.

Beinder was rewarded for his

d in the po:
education field by : an honorary
doctorate from Simon Fraser Uni-
versity in 1984. In 1991 he
became a member of the Order of
British Columbia and was a
recipient of a Canadian 125
Anniversary commemerative
medal in 1992

Beinder was proud of his awards,
but his greatest pride was in the cok
lege system and particularly of
Selkirk College, “his college”.

A celebration of Beinder's life
will be held Sunday, Dec. 11, in the
ballroom of the Uplander Hotel in
Rossland from 2-5 p.m.
