said chai George Cady.

Cady pointed out the regional district was
responsible for only two services at that time and is now
responsible for 90.

As well, he said the first budget totalled less than
$35,000. The 1985 budget was more than $6, million.

Cady turned the celebration over to Area J director
Martin Vanderpol who, with 12 years’ experience on the
board, is'the longest serving director.

* Vanderpol noted, “The first 20 years of this
organization have been quite difficult in many ways.”

He said the board was faced with an electorate which
wasn’t convinced on the need for another level of
government. E

However, over the 20 years, he said a lot of people
have discovered the board can do “a helluva- job”
providing services for rural areas without the rural areas
going to municipalities for help.

“The viability of regional districts . . . if it has been
proven anywhere, it has been around this table,”
Vanderpol added.

He said that while directors don't always get along,
“we work together for the benefit of this region .. . we
have proven we can do a lot of good work for the citizens
we represent.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The collar worn by one of
the popular Cabbage Patch dolls could endanger children

if they place it around their own necks, a U.S. consumer

group said Tuesday:

A bright medal on the collar of the Cabbage Patch
Koosa attracts children, and it’s just their nature to try to
place the collar around their own necks, said Ann Brown,

hai of the C Affairs C of

Americans for: Democratic Action.

The committee's 14th annual pre-Christmas report
on toy safety also said there were problems with baby
seats, gates and walkers.

The consumer group was also critical of some toy
makers for ging it d ive, hard to use
or assemble toys and items it called a poor value.

But the only item termed possibly dangerous was the

Koosa collar. . sh

Officials at Coleco, which makes the dolls, responded
that the company changed the collar design earlier this
year, making it “easier to take off and put back on the
Koosa.” :

“Both the original and revised collars on the Koosas
‘meet all the Consumer Product Safety Commission and
Canadian safety regulations,” said Barbara Wruck..

Board considers change

By SIMON BIRCH
Staff Writer
The Castlegar school board
. saci: ing its

- secretary-treasurer and

superintendent. Its job would
be “to provide coordination

is
standing ‘committees.
At a special meeting Mon-

day night, the board voted to

spend the next six weeks
considering a proposal from
superintendent of schools
Terry Wayling to establish a
new ~five-committee struc-
ture.

The board currently has
six standing committees.

Wayling’s proposal calls
for the following committees:

property and finance, person-_

nel, education, communica-
tions/planning and_ manage-
ment.

Wayling recommends that
the education committee and
communications/planning

and among the
other committees,” the prop-
osal says.
Ina major move away from
present board structure,
Wayling recommends each
committee be responsible for
its own policy development.
“Formulation of policy un-
der the (School) Act is the

first and foremost responsib- ted.

ility of the board,” Wayling
said.

Policy is currently the res-
_ponsibility of an ad hoc com-
mittee of the board.

Another change would see
the i i -

reduce the need for having
the full board attend many
meetings and would spread
the committee workload
more evenly among all trus-
tee

S.

While the consensus of the
board was that the proposals
have merit, most trustees
agreed that the recommen-
dations need to be discussed
fully over the “next several
weeks before they are adop-

“I would like to see it
bounced off a lot of people in
the community,” Rick Ron-
gracz said. “It's a r|

for each committee,” he said.

Anutooshkin said he is also
concerned with having fewer
trustees on the education
committee.

“I felt it should be the
responsibility of the whole
board,” he said. “The whole
board should have input. Ed-
ucation is basically what
we're here for.”

Doreen Smecher question-
ed whether policy would still
be circulated for comment.

“Right now policy is de-
veloped to draft: form and
circulated through the dis-
trict for ss

we can, look at.”

Other trustees felt the

trustees, the superintendent
and director of instruction —

be open

to the public.
The management commit-
tee would consist of chairmen
from the other four standing

d of just three trus-
tees, the superintendent and
the director of instruction.

dum to the board, says that

said. “I think you're closing
the door on policy develop-
ment if it's not circulated.”
But. Wayling assured the
board that circulation of pol-
icy would be the responsib-
ility of the management com-
mittee.
After discussing the prop-
osal for about 30 minutes, the
board voted unanimously to
continue with the current
committee system for now
and to study the new prop-

osal over the next six weeks. ~

The- board will hold a
special meeting Tuesday to
begin: studying the proposal.

In other board news, chair-
man Kay Johnson appointed
trustees as representatives
to the district's schools.

The trustees will have the
following responsibilities:

George Anutooshkin —
Blueberry Creek and Robson
elementaries; Ed Conroy —
Pass Creek, Shoreacres and
Tarrys elementaries; Tony
Guglielmi — Castlegar pri-
mary, Special Education Cen-
tre and Twin Rivers elem-
entary; Johnson — Kinnaird
and Valley Vista elementar-
ies; Rick Pongracz — Kin-
naird Junior secondary and
Ootischenia elementary; Dor-
een Smecher — Open Roads
Alternate school and Wood-
land Park elementary; Gor-
don Turner — Stanley Hum-
phries secondary.

Also, a motion by Turner

to have the trustees paid_

their annual indemnity in two
installments was defeated.

The trustees will continue
to receive the indemnity in
quarterly payments.

Trustees are paid $4,000 a
year with the board chairman
receiving $5,000.
