Municipal polities is for me the most meaning ful political forum. It has its frustrations and can be very time consuming, but the reality is, that as a municipal politician, I ean still maintain a personal contact with the people who have elected me. I feel that being ac- countable to the people who have elected you is probably the most impor- tant principle in our poli tical system. This, of course, doesn't mean not making mistakes or having everyone in the community agreeing with you on all topics. It does mean having dialogue with the community, behaving with integrity and being accountable to that community. This I have attempted to do as a matter of principle for the last eight years. I am presently the chairperson of the planning committee. I have chaired all committees of council during my four terms and also have been the alternate director for the regional district. I have been a member of the NEED Advisory Board for the province, am presently a member of the Kootenay Manpower Adjustment Committee and a member of the MILAP (Modified Industrial Labour Adjustment Pro. gram) Committee. I am a carpenter by trade and am presently employed as the business representative for the carpenter's union in this area. The problems of unemployment are among my major concerns. I deal with it every day, both with people who are organized and unorganized. I think Castlegar will eventually be the major centre of the West Kootenay and I would hope that the people who have chosen to settle in Castlegar will have an opportunity to work and share in the growth I support the peace movement in the area and have some personal pride in being part of a city council that was progressive enough to conduct a referendum on the issue two years ago. I have dealt with both senior levels of government during my tenure — sometimes with more success than others. I believe that your council will have to be extremely strong in the coming months to ensure that both these levels .of government meet their res ponsibilities to the people of Castlegar In conclusion, I Would like to thank the people of Castlegar for their support in the last eight years. I think the next two years are going to be very demanding of all elected officials. I feel council will have to be strong, innovative and accountable to the community. I have the ability and the experience to meet the challenge. I ask for your support on Nov. 17 LEN EMBREE for alderman Working for police building To report on the act ivities and improvements of the protective services functions during my two- year term as chairman of the Protective Services Committee, I would like to comment on the following items that have been imp lemented successfully or are presently under in vestigation. 1. The traffic bylaws were consolidated and up- dated in 1983-84 to imp rove the regulations and control of traffic within the city 2. The study on the conditions of the RCMP detachment's facility con tinues to be pursued 3. RCMP patrols continue to enforce the traffic regulations for cyclists using city streets. 4. A traffic safety program is now being considered and it is expected that recommendations will be implemented BOB PAKULA for alderman FIRE DEPARTMENT Fire Chief, Bob Mann continues a fire training program. Public education was increased and fire hydrant mapping was completed. A pre-fire planning program was started and is being implemented Fire agreement contracts with the airport and Selkirk College were renegotiated and put into effect A new fire mini-pumper was purchased as a first response vehicle. This vehicle provides faster arrival time, reduces wear on the larger units, and has better access over bad terrain and bad weather conditions. The old fire van has been transferred to the city works for use as a maintenance service vehicle. z PR cg . Asis ERR ai a GIy sig a eS Be PLEIN TO LAST until 1984, which was much appreciated. In February 1964, Frank Steven aviation instructor, was appointed as and is ding training and equipment. a ANIMAL CONTROL ‘The animal control service contract was renegotiated and signed with Jacky Yocom, who continues to provide a good animal contro! service for, our city. Planning is important I am seeking re-election as an alderman in the City of Castlegar. Serving my first two year term offered me the opportunity to gain a wor- king knowledge of civic government; particularly in the areas of Finance and Aministration, Recreation and Health and Welfare. A second term will allow me to build on this ex perience and to contribute effectively to the seasoned development of the City. As is often said during difficult times — there are no easy solutions, just difficult choices. I believe that my experience and my willingness to carefully study emerging issues can help in meeting the challenge. Past and present work includes many volunteer activities — a member of Regional Recreation Com mission No. 1, the building of the arena adventure playground; Castlegar and District Home Support Association (Homemakers), Meals on Wheels, University Women’s Club Selkirk College Scholarships, and various capacities associated with groups for young people. I am a qualified Home Economics teacher with experience in both Trail and Castlegar school district. My husband and I have three children, two in local high schools and one at the Univeristy of B.C. The current state of the economy is a constant challenge to council. A strenous effort has been made to hold the line on taxes. It is necessary to regularly assess the levels of service and expenditures in order to meet expectations within the bounds of revenues available. I, along with other members of council, recognize that Castlegar taxpayers would find it very difficult to handle any increases in taxes in the near future Good planning, effective management and a co-operative effort by council ahd the community at large is vital. . God Jong range planning is important in order that goals Gnd work in an effective way to achieve their eventual completion. I see the proposal for the community complex site development as long range with opportunity for modification along the way as citizen interest and funding for components of the project develops. While we have problems to deal with, it is equally important that we develop opportunities. One such opportunity that contribute significantly to the improved health of our businesses, our employment and the overall well-being of the community is tapping the tourist flow a 8 MARILYN MATHIESON for alderman Children come first Gordon Turner has been involved in education for more than 20 years, and thus says he has an ex. cellent background for the role of school trustee. Turner has taught el: ementary and high school in a variety of places: a small prairie an Eskimo village, a prairie city, and a coastal Indian village. As well, he worked for three years as a supervisor of teacher training at Simon Fraser University. While in the Arctic, he was a member of the curricu- lum committee which de veloped the Intermediate Curriculum that now oper ates throughout the North west Territories. Besides his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees, Turner has a Professional Teaching Certificate. At schools where he has taught, he has been a yearbook advisor, soccer coach, and basketball coach. Turner says he understands how education works because he has taught everything from Grade 4 to fourth year university courses. For the past four years, Turner has been an instructor of English and Technical Writing at Selkirk College. At Selkirk College, he has taught many children of local families. He says he is respected for his teaching abilities, his work on college committees, and his attempts to encourage social activity at Selkirk College. In 1983 Turner was honored as a recipient of the Professional Excellence in Teaching award. Currently, he chairs the Professional Excellence Committee and is a member of the Selkirk Summer Committee which is exploring the possibility of courses and workshops being offered at Selkirk College during the summer months. He says his work on such committees here and elsewhere stands him in good stead for future work as a trustee. What does Turner believe in? 1. “That children come first in the educational process. All school board decisions ought to be based upon children's needs and requirements before other considerations are taken into account.” 2. “That teachers are doing a good job, deserve a pay raise, and must be kept working. Teachers should not be laid off as there's too much work to go around already.” 3. “That members of the school board are, responsible to the people — not lackeys of a government which has forsaken education. The school board ought to keep saying, ‘that’s unacceptable,’ and resist government edicts more firmly.” 4. “That programs currently being offered in the Castlegar school system are educationally sound and need to be retained and supported.” Turner and his wife Alexia have four boys, three of whom are in the school system now. He says he is running for trustee because he thinks trustees should have children going to school GORDON TURNER for trustee Local needs must be heard Being a school trustee in the 1980s seems to be a frustrating experience. Yet, it is very important that local citizens continue to stand for this office. Our understanding of loc al needs must be heard, therefore, electing concer ned, involved individuals guarantees a voice for children and parents of Castlegar School District. I am a 38year-old re tired registered nurse, married with a child in Grade 3. I have served on the Child Care Society Board and have owned a small business. For the past two years, I have attended every public school board meeting, served as Kinnaird Elementary Parents’ Group Chairman and co-chaired the “Making Connections” conference. Also, I, along with other concerned parents, founded the District Parents’ Commitee I believe I have a clear understanding of our school district's strengths, weaknesses, problems and person nel. Having a child in the system prompted me to work hard to ensure that parents have a strong voice in our district schools. Instead of wasting energy complaining about a lack of funds, I would actively work to encourage the three most powerful community groups — parents, teachers, trsutees — to eliminate the “we-they” attitude and, as one voice, let the government hear our concerns Remaining silent puts the blame squarely on us when government officials say that a lack of complaints means “everything's okay.” A good education is our children’s God-given right; it should not be seen as business that cuts its losses. Many local issues would receive my immediate attention, dedication and commitment. We must regain our Coordinated Special Services program. Our children are experiencing much more stress and tension today both at home and school Unemployment, single parent families, drug use, increased class size, decreased extra-curricular op- portunities and teachers fearing layoffs all contribute to our kids’ confusion and apprehension. Many children need qualified professional help. In our district, we do not provide it. The busing system needs a close look. Five requests from parents for busines changes were made to the board last month. All were denied. Are parents being unreasonable, or is the board insensitive.? Full-day kindergarten requires study and evaulation. I would monitor this program very closely. Steno grapher's hours are being cut, yet their work load increases. I would work to make the changes more equitable. Our school board seems to work in secrecy Committee meetings are closed and many decisions are made in-camera. My guiding principle will be to guarantee our children a sound and meaningful education. Before decisions are made, | will ask: “Is this the best we can do for our kids?” KAY JOHNSON for trustee into the province. Increasing our profile can be accomplished without radical change and without great expenditures of money Signage must be improved. Co-operative efforts can be mounted to attract tourists building on our scenic, recreation and historic attractions. Castlegar people have a reputation and a talent for making visitors feel welcome let's build on this by “going the extra mile” snd thereby encouraging their return. Repaying a “social debt” Michael Heard, 48, has been a resident of Castle. gar for the past four years. He owns and operates Plaza Cleaners. Heard is married, with two chil dren.
