But the two sides reached an agree-

As well, Perra said the college will

Pegra said because of the lost time,

The counsellor said Shearing was as
oul — “quiet and polite.”

A craftsman, who asked not to be
identified, employed Shearing for most
of 1882 and found him to be conscien-

‘tious and a hard: worker.

’ Shearing appeared upset after his

“father died but was “back to being old

Dave” in the summer.

“How could anyone commit, those
murders — kids and everything — and
not show any emotion when he talked
about it? There was no difference in his
work habits. It was just the same old
Dave.”

Tina Colboine, a clerk for the federal
Department of Fisheries and Oceans,
was a member of the local recreation
committee three years ago and hired
Shearing to help witha children's
summer recreational program. He
helped her with activities and did
maintenance work at the local ball
diamonds.

“You'd have to address him or ask
him a question (before he'd say
anything),” she said. “He didn't volun-
teer any conversation.

Shearing left his mother, sister ‘Mar-
lene, 38, and brother Greg, 35, at their
farm home of 20 years to seek work at
Tumbler Ridge, the hub of the: B.C
northeast coalfields. He was arrested
Saturday at Dawson Creek, and is to
appear in provincial court in Kamloops
on Friday.

“That would be-matter of

He added that he would
expect a reaction from his
cabinet colleagues within a
week. :

Fraser said he doesn’t
think it would be costly to
add miles and miles-per-hour
to existing signs.

As for the confusion such a
move might cause, “I think
for a lot of people there's

The board will continue to monitor the enrolment at
Pass Creek and if the student population drops to below
10 students, the school might have to be'closed according
to ed ministry said.

“We'll: be looking at enrolment in the future if
student population drops,” he said.

Meanwhile, the board is considering a move which
will see the student population at Pass Creek ‘almost
double. Schools superintendent Terry Wayling said if
parents agree, Pass Creek primary students now
attending Woodland Park elementary could be attending
Pass Creek school by next fall:

The class would be made up of Grade 1, 2 and 3

di he said. C tly, the 23

He said that the move to bus primar students to
Woodland Park began when some marsala eheae to have
their children attend that school. “That got. the “ball
rolling,” he said. But he added that one advantage of
maintaining primary students at Pass Creek would be to
ease the stress of crowded bus runs to Castlegar schools.

The schools superintendent also said that one of the
conditions of keeping Pass Creek oven is the continued
support of parents,

Explained Wayling: “One of the | requirements is that
parents cooperate to encourage people living in the area
to eae residents to stay and keep their kids in the

Pass Creek parents will also have

Pass Creek head teacher Nick Verigin greeted ‘the

“I feel great about it, I feel elated about it,” Verigin
said, noting that there are many people in the commnunity

“who have been working very hard for the sehool.
