Warmer and more moisi air is 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.

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.

As well, he pointed out the bylaw simply allows businesses which want to open on Sundays and holidays to open. “It doesn’t say you have to open on Sundays,” he said. ‘Ald. Carl Henne agreed, saying: “When you ask the people for an opinion and they give it to you, I think — _____-_local fund_like Castlegar’s._ govern . said at the time there may be more peace in the future as a result of the meetings but the atmos- phere had been tainted by the hunger strikes. Cran said on Friday year-old woman as “no threat to any- body,” said. there is a sense of dis- satisfaction in the Freedomite com- munity about Astaforoffs death. Doukhobor historian Mark Mealing, a Selkirk College instructor, said the D were concerned Astaforoff, Braun and 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 telephone inte w about his fellow sect member. “They knew beforehand that she would die.” Slastukin, who described the 71- SHAW continued from front page community channel, but the company isn't operating the channel. Ald. Albert Calderbank later sug- gested council write to the manager and directors of Shaw Cable asking for reduced cable fees for as long as channel is off the air. However, Ald. Bob MacBain said council should first hear the company’s side. Council agreed and will invite a company spokesman to attend its next meeting. Meanwhile, McInnes said Shaw Cable was granted an 11.5 per cent rate increase last May on the condition it carry out an upgrading. program. He said the company promised to provide a House of Commons and more pay TV channels by this fall, spend $143,000 to upgrade its distribution system, and construct a new operations centre to "house office services, a technical department and a new com- Gilpin. Fr has 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.

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 UNITED WAY continued from front page come around it’s out of luck,” Chmara said. She also cited the fact that corpor- ations tend to donate through their head offices, usually: located in Van- couver. That means that a $1,000 donation, for example, is counted towards the Vancouver United Way fund, not*a =e door campaign. Chmara said. _ 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. Of the money raised so far this year, $26,000 comes from payroll deductions, $1,100 from corporate donations, $1,100 from unsolicited mail donations and $2,900 from the October door-to- 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. CHRISTMAS SAILIE: Now on'til Christmas!
