Their aim is to identify all values in order to ensure integrated management of the natural resources. The total land base of the drainage equals 6,380 hec- tares. Of this area 4,741 hec- tares are forested land. The harvesting plan: as drafted concerns activity in 650 hec- tares or 12 per cent of the forested land mass during a 20-year period. Harvesting methods to be utilized would be evenly dis- tributed between convention- al ground skidding and cable systems. Cut-leave patterns and access locations have been determined for the first 10 years of the plan.

And local’ homeonwers can rest soundly with the know- ledge that school taxes won't increase this year. In fact, many homeowners will pay less school taxes because of a 12 Per cent drop in residential assessments. The general feeling of relief follows the Ministry of Education's approval of a total 1988 budget of ‘$9,877,941, - This is $247,162 more than the ministry was prepared to . -allow,when the board first submitted its budget in February. This financial shot in the arm, along with a general drop” in ‘assessments and the fact that the district will collect the same“amount in taxes that:it collected last year -— $1.65 million — means school taxes will likely decrease. Assistant secretary-treasurer ‘Bill Babakaiff explained less the homeowner grant. ‘ This year that house was assessed at $65,350 and its taxes will total’ $402.78. Subtract the $880 homeowner grant and the taxpayer will pay. $22 in school taxes this. year. But the additional funding from the provincial govern: ment doesn’t mean the district is wallowing in money. In fact, the district has been forced to hold the line on general operating costs in order to balance the budget. ‘ In 1982, the district spent $8,626,332 to run the schools but this:year it will spend only $8,578,597 — ,a drop of $47,785. ‘As well; the money the district pays to service its debts has been reduced by $48; 871 to $1,126,744. from $1,175,115. Reductions’ in'these-two atcounts have reduced the total budget by one per cent this year over 1982. : But funding for the non-shareable capital account — money for projects. the provincial government doesn't contribute towards'— stays the same at $172,600.

Babakaiff says there is a provision for wage increases for both teachers and support staff but he couldn't elaborate of CUPE and the CSP pending th te decision on teacher wage increases. The’ teachers were awarded a 4.5 per cent wage increase by' an arbitration board in December. “There is a provision in the budget for the increases but I can't give the exact amount within CSP guidelines until we “know ‘exactly what they are,” Babakaiff said Friday. Because’ the -board’ doesn’t know what the wage increases for teachers and support staff will be, trustees are unable to finalize the distribution of its operating budget into various sections.

This year, the government has given school districts until June 80 to finalize the budget. Meantime, he says: “We're in the black, we're pretty confident that things are going to work out.” Meanwhile, the promise of an additional $200,000 from the p has the presi of the Castlegar and District Teachers Association calling for an immediate ratification of the 4.5. per cent arbitrated increase. Bob Cacchioni said Friday the board can no longer use the “ability to pay" argument as an excuse not to pay the increase. continued on page A2 %y province-wide exams By CasNews Staff and News Services The president’ of the Castlegar and District Tea- ethers Associatjon says he is concerned that. results from the compulsary ‘province- wide achievement exams will be used to screen students from . jobs - and i ments tests and the Ministry 7 of Education says that has made it possible to determine in advance how well the average student should do on each test.

Ken Turner, who owns 60 per cent of the boat, called it “malicious vandalism,” after talking ‘about the time and “money invested into the ves- sel. He left the boat in good condition three and a half weeks ago. *When he came back this week he found all five of the boat's win b: of its kind in this area. Turner said it-came from y heavy rocks, the cabin door kicked open and the carpet on the deck was ruined. As well, the mast running lights were broken. Turner said in an interview there is at least $2,000 dam- age to the boat, which was not far from being completely rebuilt after three years of work. The boat is moored 2 km north of the Hugh Keen- leyside Dam on the Lower Arrow Lake. The boat, which ran on the lake last year, is the only one V . Where it was used to pull the fishing nets out from the mother ship and bring them back in when the fish were caught. Then the boat was pur- chased and brought out to the Arrow Lake. Turner sal- vaged it from the lake in 1980, working on it for two years by himself and then taking on Gary Gray of Rob- son as a partner in the last year. The.boat is seven metres long, although it used to be longer. The partners called it The Golden Arrow, but Tur- ner said everyone knows it as the “Herring Boat,” so they haven't offi ficially changed | the name. Turner said the boat was moored at Tulip Creek, north of Syringa Creek — a set- tlement of. about five or six boathouse owners for years before eviction notices were sent out by the Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing. “WhenI couldn't get a jobI was living in a camper (at Tulip Creek) doing it (re- pairs),” he.said of his even- ings and weekends spent re- building the three-ton vessel. of a prominent ‘Alberta Social Crediter have -been: -con- demned by one of B.C.’'s inost prominent Socreds, McCarthy.
