President of the West Kootenay Midwifery Task Force, Kathryn Josafatow, said one of the mandates for the Task Force is to help smooth the transition for legalized midwifery into the health care system through public and health care education. “Now our task is to Smooth that process through public and health care education.” Last week, the Task Force had a kick off at Vallican Whole, and Josaphatow said the number of people who expressed interest in midwifery is a sure indication that the time for integrating midwifery has come. “If we can unify, our expectations are that we will be able to influ- ence the nature of midwifery in this area.” Josaphatow is adamant that integrated midwifery’in the Kootenays reflect the needs and the wants of those who it will affect the most-— women, and that decisions which are made regarding midwifery Wednesday, September 8, 1993 come from the women, not the government It is the Task Force's Strong desire that midwifery in the Kootenays also reflect how midwifery is sucdemgfully practiced in other countries, and that there be a standard or guidelines which will be practiced in line with the World Health Organiza tion recommendations. “Hopefully it will be in line with how it is practiced throughout the world.” F ly believes that the lability of midwifery ser- vices as a birthing option is not a Privilege, but a basic human right asically it is a civil rights issues that a woman can birth as she chooses.” It is hoped by Josafatow and members of the Task Force that edu- cation will also help make the transition to legalized midwifery in the province easier, — “The process can be difficult, and at times can be met with resis- tance. Sometimes people hang on to useless and unnecessary fears— which only slows the process. It will make the transition easier if we all work together.” The Task Force is a based, profit society, ization which wel new or inquiries.

Castlegar RCMP member, Staff Sergeant Hall, said in the petition that although there aren't any events in Castlegar which are“held of a large magnitude and thus require special Policing, he has been directed by his superiors to see that the bylaw is in place in the event that such an occasion might occur. Bylaw 655 also outlines and defines tion and use requirements for water supply, toilet facilities A permit for the special event must be applied for at least 45 days in advance of the event. and must be accompanied by a written consent of the owner of the land where the event is to be held, a document from the med- ical health officer expressing their satisfaction with the arrangement for drinkable water sup- Ply, toilet facilities, waste collection and removal, and food and drink storage, prepara- The application must also accompany a document in which a member of the detach- merit of the RCMP expresses their satisfac- tion that arrangements have been made for adequate off-street Parking, proper policing Or security on and around the site, traffic con- trol on or around the site, and the Provision of @ security command post. The document must also supply the estimated cost of providing Policing for the event As well, the fire inspector must also express his satisfaction that the the site and all its structures comply with current fire safety enactments, and arrangements for first aid care are in place Now that the proposed bylaw has passed three readings it will come forward to be adopted at the next council meeting sched- uled for September 28 If such a bylaw were not in place, it would remain up to the city to pick up any associat- ed costs regarding extra policing which might be needed during a large event As in the case of a late 1980's boat regatta which was held in Kelowna and required additional policing to control unruly crowds, it is conceivable that extra policing could cost in the million dollar range Castlegar students are back in school DAN CARLSON For The Castlegar Sun Much to the chagrin of youths everywhere Schools everywhere in School District #9 re-opened on Tuesday September 7. but as David-Hogg. principal of Stanley.

This year’s biggest change was in the imeables instead-et-rotating the vtght-sub- ject blocks trom day to day. the new timetable runs on the semester sys tem. The semester system Operates like this: for the first half of the year, only four subject blocks are available and students must attend the same four subjects daily. The sccond half of the year is much the same, using four different subjects Many students prefer this system over the older linear system because it alleviates much of the stress created by final exams; there are a maximum of four finals twice a year, as opposed to all eight finals within a time span of two or three weeks Also among the changes in $.H.S.S., are several program and course changes.
