Bill Kereiff recalls being a tod- dler clutching his mother's skirt while the Doukhobors hand-lev elled the field. He and: Verna (Kanigan) were on the Castlegar Cubs and Kats ball teams who waged war against the visiting teams at the park, along with John J. Verigin, Joy (Defoe) and Brick Saunders, Gerry Wanless and many others. Fanny Stoochnoff fondly recalls the elderly Russian ladies coming to town on a Sunday for worship at the Russian Hall. In those days the exquisitely embroidered shawls and blouses were an everyday sight on the streets of town. After sérvices they would hustle down to the C.P. Rail Station to check the arrivals and departures as the train came in, then back to the park to cheer on the teams. A FORD happy day of R&R in their hard- working lives. The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (1.0.D.B.) held their Victoria Day celebrations at A STEP INTIME _ CAROLEE Fitz-GERALD the park—just as Sunfest does today. In 1948 Barbara Easton (Mackenzie) was crowned May Queen and I made my debut as a dancer round the maypole (berib- boned and erected annually) Choreographed and accompanied by Kay Andreashuk on her accor- dion, it was a great honour for we PARTS SN ait Care-Where the Quality Continues grade oneners to be chosen Those bouncy opening notes instantly replay in my heart and my toes start tapping! The highlights of May Day 1948 can be viewed on a home movie on video at the museum. If you don't blink you'll see moi skipping around, weaving my ribbon, in my first-ever dress- maker made dress, It was yel- low to match my ribbon, On June 3, Dr, Victor Goresky, Health Officer, closed the schools because of the 1948 flood. A really big event! In 1949, we second graders attended school at the Russian Hall with Miss Merlo. Schools were at a premium in post-war Castlegar and area. In winter some benevolent souls would flood the ball field for skating and the snow- banks were at least ten feet high! Through the years, the park has been used for end-of-school- year picnics, summer concerts, cross country ski practice and always, ballgames. Tourists leave their R.V."s in the shade of the power poles (disease took the stately Lombardy poplars last year) and return to dine al fresco. The playground gives parents and children a much needed oasis in the middle of town. It has great tradition and continues to be a pulse point. Let's keep it alive. *AEROSTAR “WINDSTAR VILLAGER 22,329 dual air bags, 4 wheel ABS, front wheel drive FINANCING AS LOW AS So & Cash Back ‘s9 Ran Reg. $1 XLT S/C— ,900. Now ..

Antici- pation of vacations, days at the beach and other form of outdoor enjoyment become the relevant thought top- ics; it is difficult to keep one’s mind on the business at hand. So it is with the Castlegar and District United Way; the fall campaign and its attendant pub- licity are still in the future but, like other businesses, the work goes on. : In the office, Nona Paulson is in the throes of upgrading the computer capability in her ongo- ing quest to make the office more efficient The United Way thermometer has been removed from City Hall Look for our new sign, to be set up this summer by the air- port entrance The May 18th meeting saw the installation/re-election of two members of the executive. Deb Chmara was re-elected President and Len Lippa was elected Vice President, in addition to continu- ing his present role of Finance Committee Chair. The May meeting also provid- ed an opportunity for some seri- ous discussion between the United Way directors and the agencies they support, concern- ing the nature of their relation- ship. Thanks to the able facilitating of Deb Chmara, what could have been a finger-point- ing exercise instead maintained a strongly positive tone as we explored mutual concerns and looked at ways to increase volun- teer activity. Ideas for increasing the effectiveness of the United Way campaign came from all quarters. Finally, the directors and the agency representatives worked together to produce a better membership agreement document. We all believe that the new wording more effectively defines the responsibilities and expectations of all parties. We are pleased to welcome new director Denny Popoff to the United Way board. A Castlegar native, Denny brings a fresh ele- ment of youth and enthusiasm to our group. He will be working on the Campaign Committee and the Nominating Committee.

He felt principals should have the right to expel these children if necessary. As a parént of a special-needs child, I didn't like his attitude. — The purpose of the Ameri- cans with Disabilities Act is to prevent expelling students whose inappropriate behaviour is caused by their disability. Would we expel an epileptic student for having a seizure in class? Of course not. Students diagnosed with disorders that cause inappropriate, aggres- sive or impulsive behaviour need to have early intervention with well-trained staff so their condition doesn't result in the kind of violence we all fear in public schools. What are we teaching these students when we expel them? They are so downtrodden after years in a system that fails to address their needs that getting expelled is a relief. Students with behavioral dis- orders are not intentionally cre- ating havoc. They need help. — JH.. Lafayette. Calif. Dear J.H.: I agree that spe- cial-needs children should not be thrown out, but they do not belong in regular classes if they are unable to handle the disci- plinary restrictions: It is unfair to the other children and to the teacher, and it lowers the self- esteem of the disabled child. Special classes, with trained teachers, should be available for these children. If they demonstrate that their disability will not prevent them from exercising the nec- essary self-control, they can be mainstreamed. GREAT SELECTION OF SUMMERTIME TOYS PLAZA 1.0.A.
