The bell will adorn the roof ~of School District No. 9’s offices on Columbia Ave. Housed in a specially built belfry and com- plete with rope and brass plaque, the bell will be the school board’s contribution to Centennial Year. Its past location was Deer Park School, one of the oldest schools in the area before be- ing forced out of existence by the Arrow dam. eee The establishment of Selkirk College came about as a result of inadequate, incor- rect and misleading informa- tion fed to the public by the School District No. 7 board at Nelson and the boards of the other five participating school districts prior to the regional - college plebiscite Dec. 5, 1964 and the college referendum in February of 1965. : This was one of the charges levelled by former District No. 7 trustee Rose Bradshaw ina story in the Nelson News yes- terday morning. 15 YEARS From the Jan. 13, 1977 Castlegar News The Castlegar and District Project Society, which set a smaller communities,” Lynn Greentree said.

Closed-captioned TV is not just for the hard of hearing DEAR ABBY: Hooray for Cora Laird of lowa who complained about how difficult it is to hear the dialogue over the noisy background sounds that many television shows feel are necessary. To her list, may I add: waterfalls, street traffic, but mostly — background music. (In some cases I have concluded the dialogue is secondary to the music, since there is no way I can hear what is being said!) I also wear a hearing aid. Your suggestion to write to the various sponsors Was a bit imprac- tical, since in a two-hour show there are approximately seven breaks with eight or nine commercials, plus TV ads in each one. Besides, the com- mercials are not the main problem — I just hit the mute button; it’s trying to hear the show itself. The only way to reach the “pow- ers that be” is through your column. A letter would not carry the clout your column does. If they would put filters in their ears, they might find out how truly irritating these back- sounds are. Have others written to substanti-_ lem? ate this HAD ‘BACKGROUND IN THOUSAND PALMS, CALIF. DEAR HAD IT: I have received hundreds ofletters with thesame complaint — however, one con- tained the following good news. Read on: DEAR ABBY: There are about 20 million people in-the United States with some degree of hearing loss — also millions of recent immigrants still struggling to learn English. In addition, there are millions of adults who are learning disabled, orsimply _ never learned to read. What do they all have in com- mon? They can all benefit from closed-captioned television. The problem: Very few of them realize’ ~ghey can be helped by closed-captions, | alone own the caption decoder. needed to decode the otherwise in- visible subtitle-like captions that are broadcast with many television shows, and recorded with many home rental video movies. (Contrary to popular belief, closed-capti are not just for deaf and hard-of-hearing people.) The good news: Many people who become deaf early in life own a cap- tion decoder. The National Caption- ing Institute claims that half the caption decoders sold were sold to Hispanic and Asian Americans who find it easier to understand new idioms and strange English expres- sions when they can read and hear the words at the same time. The bad news: People who lose their hearing late in life either don’t know about closed-captions, or con- sider “dependency” on captions as sign of aging. More good news: Starting July 1, 1993, all television sets 13 inches or larger made or sold in the United States will have a closed-caption decoder built inside! Abby, please educate your read- ers and encourage them to turn on the decoder at all times if they have children at home who are reading at or below fourth-grade level. That little decoder chip inside the televi- sion set may help put a permanent dent in the illiteracy rates of this country. ANDREA SHETTLE, GALLAUDET COLLEGE, WASHINGTON, D.C. DEAR_ANDREA: Thank you for your informative letter. lam sure many will be very interested in the information you have to share.

DEAR ABBY: I am a volunteer and board member at the Mercer County Humane Society animal shelter in West Virginia. Approximately 10,000 animals pass through our shelter each year, many of which do not find homes. We feed and love them, but there aren't enough good homes for all of them. I feel sure that puppies and kit- tens are on many children’s: wish lists for Christmas. Pets can be man’s puppy. : - Enclosed is a column you wrote 10 years ago, titled “Doggy in the Window.” Please give it another go. SARAH R. GIBSON, PRINCETON, W.VA. DEARMS. GIBSON: At the risk of winding up in the doghouse (some readers do not like re- runs), I'll chance it: DEAR ABBY: My name is Joshua and I am 7 years old. I want a dog, but my mother says no. I really want one bad. Abby, I will take any kind. I promise to take care of it. How can I get my mother to let me have a dog? WANTING A DOG DEAR. JOSHUA: Please an- ’swer these questions: ‘ 1. Who will prepare the dog’s meals? 2. Will someone be home dur- ing the day to look after the dog? 3. If the dog is a puppy, someone will have to exercise it at least twice a day. Who will do it? ~4. Who will pay for the dog’s ‘license, collar, shots, regular ex- aminations at the vet’s, and any emergency treatment the dog may need? 5. Who will pay the cost of spaying or neutering your pet to prevent the birth of more un- dp ies ina ‘ion that already has too many? Every day, thousands are “put to sleep.” | 6. Are you willing to obey all the laws concerning dogs, such ry best friends and derful p ions, but I wish that people would realize how much care a pet actually requires. All the cats and dogs that end up at our shelter were once someone’s sweet little kitten or as yours on a leash, and seeing that it doesn’t do its “business” where it shouldn’t? 7. Are you willing to care for the dog as long as it lives? Important lessons are learned from having a pet, but it takes time, money anda willingness to accept responsibility to be a dog owner. Can you handle it? eee “y DEAR ABBY: About a month ago, my husband and'l decided to do our Christmas shopping early. We bought coats, ski pants, thermal socks and boots — for homeless people. mise I can’t begin to describe the joy it gave us. Shopping had never been so much fun. Instead of worrying about sizes and colors, we simply bought warm, sturdy clothes. Since we bought everything at an outlet store, we managed to get about 100 items, including 17 winter coats — for a little more than $1,000. When we delivered the clothes to the local shelter, the manager was overjoyed. Winter weather had ar- rived the night before, and she had already given out all the winter coats. She had dreaded coming to the shelter that night, knowing she had no warm clothes to distribute. Next year my husband and I will celebrate Christmas twice. The first time will be in July! Abby, won’t you please let your readers know that “Christmas” can happpen any day of the year — the joys of giving are rewarding beyond belief, and the need is always there.
