Selkirk submits Job
Strategy proposals

By CasNews Staff

Selkirk College is hoping to
get involved in the federal
government's new Canadian
Jobs Strategy program.

The college has submitted
three proposals to the gov-
ernment: apprenticeship
training, agriculture and an
exchange program.

The college is proposing to
develop. and offer an alter-
native to the apprenticeship
training system in automo-
tive mechanic, heavy duty
mechanic, industrial mechan-
ic (millwright) and industrial
electrician trades. These pro-
grams have been selected
because of the college's ex-
pertise and capacity to de-
liver these activities, accord-
ing to the proposal. =~"

Graduates of the programs

will have completed the
technical training and re-
ceived exposure to simulated
work experiences.

The college is also propos-
ing an agriculture program
which would be based in
Grand Forks.

The college says in its
proposal that recent trends
indicate that new jobs tend to
be created by small busi-
nesses.Another trend in B.C.
indicates that employment
growth opportunities are.oc-
curring in the agricultural
sector. Through the training,
individuals can be assisted to
become self-employed and
increasingly self-sufficient’in
agriculture.

‘The third proposal calls for
developing and establishing
an exchange program with a

Pacific Rim nation. The pro-
gram would provide the op-
portunity for recent gradu-
ates of two-year Business
Administration diploma

-aduate programs to. spend
‘up to six months in a Pacific
Rim nation.

During the exchange, stu-
dents would be exposed to an
intensive learning experience
through instruction and field
trips.

In other news, student de-
mand for transportation be-
tween Castlegar and Nelson
is up..The college has re-
placed its 16-passenger van
with a 26-passenger bus.

The new bus was donated
to the college by the Ministry
of Education and’ was pre-

viously used with the Ross-

land Mining School. °

Council
invites
royalty

By CasNews Staff

* When it comes to royalty,
Castlegar council won't take
a_back seat to anyone.

Not to be outdone by Nel-
son mayor-elect Gerald
Rotering, who has issued an
invitation to Prince Charles
and Princess Diana to visit
the Queen City next spring
(see Street Talk, A3), Castle-
gar council has issued an in-
vitation of its own to the
royal couple.

Council agreed Tuesday to
fire off a letter to the provin-
cial committee arranging the
royal couple's visit to B.C.
next May, asking that a trip
to Castlegar be included on
the itinerary.

Prince Charles and* Prin-
cess Diana will be in B.C. to
open Expo 86 on May 2 and
will spend a week in the
province.

The only community out-
side the Lower Mainland
confirmed so far on the tour
is Prince George. The royal
couple. will travel to Prince
George by B.C. Rail.

College
gets
$35,000

NELSON- — Education
Minister Jack Heinrich an-
nounced $35,000 has been
approved for capital renova-
tions to Selkirk College.

The capital funding alloca-
tion will allow the college to
upgrade the lighting system.

The education minister
said the funding is a part of a
provincial government initi-
ative to ensure that post-
secondary facilities are well
maintained in order to avoid
major renovations at a future
date.

“It is sound economy to
protect our capital invest-
ment in education facilities
by making essential repairs,”
said Heinrich.

"you better-take it.”___

WHERE ARE WE? . . . Ald. Albert Calderbank
examines a B.C. Games map that doesn’t include

Castlegar

By CasNews Staif

Castlegar’s been snubbed — and city council isn’t
pleased.

‘Ald. Albert Calderbank told council Tuesday that
Castlegar has been left off a B.C. Games map.

“We are completely wiped out . . . they -have
eliminated us completely from the map,” he said.

And to add insult to injury, Castlegar also wasn't
included in a list of the Kootenay region's major centres.

The list includes Trail, Nelson and Cranbrook, as
well as other “major centres” like Rossland, Grand Forks
and Creston — but not Castlegar.

Calderbank suggested council write to Provincial
Secretary Jim Chabot asking that his ministry correct
the map and the list of major centres. x

“He has been here hasn't he?” asked a doubtful
Calderbank.
“Oh yes,” Mayor Audrey. Moore assured him.

There are three D sects in
British Columbia, the largest of which
is the 5,000-member Orthodox group —
often the target of Freedomites. The
800-member Reformed group is com-
posed of former Freedomites who have
renounced the radical group.

+ Astaforoff was fed against-her will
again in 1970, this time intravenously:
she fasted again in Kingston in 1972
and again in 1975.

In December 1982, she was “nearing
death” once more, but stopped fasting
after 42 days.

The next year, when Astaforoff,
Jmaeff and Braun were. on another
hunger strike, the B.C. College of
Physicians and Surgeons said that in
the absence of legislation or a court
decision, doctors should follow “the
general principle that you do not do
something without (patients’) consent.”

Astaforoffs death came after meet-
ings last week in Cranbrook between
the three Doukhobor groups.

Jmaeff would die in prison before the
issues that led them to jail are re-
solved.

However, he did say that because of
mediation efforts, which began in 1979,
there has been less involvement in fires
and bombings in the Kootenays.

“The number of people involved has
dropped, not the number of incidents,”
he said.

Meanwhile, another Freedomite said
Monday authorities knew Astaforoff
would die because of her hunger strike
and should have released her.

“We thought that she could have
been let to die... at home, peacefully,”
Peter Slastukin of Gilpin, said in a

that she would die.”

taken a wait-and-see attitude about
Astaforoffs death.

While other Doukhobor sects say the
death commits them even more to re-
solving differences between Doukho-
bor groups, Freedomites are waiting to
see if it “is treated as something that

has some meaning” and if “there is a -

willingness to listen to: what the Free-
domites have to say,” Mealing said.

If that kind. of reaction does not
occur, Mealing said; anger could be
sparked in the Freedomite community.

“The outside community would be
then seen as not simply accepting the
death but also as in some way
complicit in it.”

He said the treatment of Jmaeff and
Braun and “reaction of the women who
are still in prison — how they treat
their present hunger fast” will affect
the Gilpin community as. well.

McInnes also said the union is con-
cerned about the $100,000-the company
has saved during the strike. He said
the community should ask Shaw Cable
if it plans to use the money to upgrade
the cable system in the West Kootenay
or “to line the pockets of shareholders.”

McInnes said the company was fully
prepared for a strike because it!had

to their

crews carry out a thorough check of all

the equipment prior to the Aug. 13
strike date instead of installing the new
equipment.

That is the reason the cable system
has held up “remarkably well” during
the strike, McInnes added.

He said the new equipment was
supposed to be up and running by July
1 and ready for

operation in
September. bi

She also cited the fact that corpor-

for example, is counted towards the
Vancouver United Way fund, not*a

_ Chmara said the lack of funds “will
present a problem in the. future” be-
cause the United Way’s client agencies
will be forced more and more to raise
funds on their own.

Charter of Rights
-may change education

By SIMON BIRCH
Staff Writer
Changes in the way students are disciplined and an end

to mandatory retirement for teachers are just two effects .

GORDON TURNER
. best conference

the Canadian Charter of Rights may have on education in
Canada.

‘Those and other changes were discussed Nov. 21-23 in
Vancouver at a B.C. School Trustees’ Association- sponsored _
conference attended by Castlegar school trustee Gordon
Turner.

Turner, who attended workshops on student relations

( . Department Store) ( . Department Store)

and employee rights at the conference, said his time was
well Spent.

“It was the best conference I've been at in the last few
years,” he said.

Turner said one of the things’discussed was how the
rights of teachers and students might be changed by the
Charter.

For example, he said the way that students are
disciplined.may. be affected.

It may be that (the Castlegar school board) may have
to think more about due process in detentions and searches,”
he said.

Mandatory retirement of teachers at age 65 may also
become a thing of the past if challenges based on the Charter
are successful.

According to the Charter, there must not be discrim-

. ination on the basis of age.

Turner said the first interpretation of that clause was
that it applied to people looking for work.

But it soon became apparent that it could also apply to
mandatory retirement.

“In fact, a number of court cases where people are asked
to retire at 65 and don’t want to” are expected, Turner said.

“We may have something like that occur in our school
district,” he added.

But Turner said he found an address by former’ B.C.
ombudsman Karl Friedmann one of the “most interesting
and pertinent” parts of the conference.

Friedmann spoke on education and the law and
addressed the subject of democracy as it applies to elected
groups.
