Embree, « cperenter, is after his fifth term, while Mathieson, a homemaker, and Pakula, a sawyer, are seeking their second terms. They are being ‘challenged by newcomer Michael Heard, a businessman. Each of the three open seats on council are two-year terms. Meanwhile, incumbent school trustee Frank Finney faces » stiff from four ‘dogfight’ Kagis also cited the board's lack of support to his recent Kay Johnson, businessman Dale Nielson, retired resident Stanley’ and college instructor Gordon Turner. Former trustee Greg Nichvalodoff decided not to run. He's been_joined on the sidelines by Peter Kagis, who represented Area J. Kagis said his decision not to run “had something to do with low frustration tolerance.” He said Tuesday he was frustrated with the school board’s “failing to stand up to Victoria” by getting an injunction to stop the teachers’ strike last fall. “The teachers were after the same things we were after . . local control,” Kagis said. “Suddenly the fact the teachers were out was a big thing.” on that a letter of protest be sent to Education Minister Jack Heinrich, in response to a form letter from the ministry recommending that school board contracts be open to both union and non-union bidders. Another factor in the Area J representative's decision not to run was his disillusionment with the ongoing negotiations now taking place for teachers’ contracts — which Kagis calls “a farce.” He said the teachers deserve an eight to 12 per cent raise because they “haven't had a effective one in three years,” but the board isn’t in a position to offer it “because of the Jimits; because the government controls our ability to ill-will towards the board. “I don’t want to put the school board down for the job they had to do,” he explained. “Somebody had to do it.” Since his election two years ago, Kagis said he helped improve relations between the Castlegar Teachers’ Association and the board, and made himself accessible to community groups in Blueberry Creek, Ootischenia and Robson. He said he may run again for a trustee's position. “In the future, I probably will. I think, at the moment, my own vision is clouded with my sense of frustration.” In the meantime, Rick Pongracz, a plumber from Ootis- chenia, will represent Area J for the next two years.

However, Davies couldn't provide figures: the aambet: of ap- peals in the Castlegar area this year with other years because this is the first year his Nelson office has handled Castlegar. Castlegar used to be included in the Trail assessment office, but the provin ¢ial government closed the Trail office earlier this.year and moved staff to the Nelson office as a restraint mesure. Homeowners unhappy with ‘heir assessment notices better hurry if they intend to file appeals. Deadline for ap peals is midnight tonight. However, Davies said his assess ment office will accept any appeals with an Oct. 31 postmark Davies also pointed out that most residential property values have drop- ped slightly in the latest assessment notice. “There's been a slight decrease,” he said. For instance, a home valued at $80,000 in the last assessment would probably be valued at $78,000 in the latest assessment notice. “That's just sort of an average.” Davies cautioned —inside HELPFUL GOBLINS: Ben jomin Cram will be out tonight fer Halloween. But WITH SCHOOL COURSE Sid battles racism By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer The Hindu god Yama calculates man’s good and bad deeds throughout his life, and, based on this, decides whether he'll be reincarnated as a cab- bage or a king, says Surrey school- teacher Sid Bentley. On Tuesday Bentley told a Social Stddies class At Stanley Humphries Secondary School that Westerners all know a sgng about Yama “He's making a list, checking it twice. Going to find out who's naughty and nice,” recited Bentley with a grin. “That's Yama.” Kind of makes you have respect for old Saint Nick Bentley is flying back to Surrey today after a two-month tour of B.C. promoting his course, Religion of Our Neighbors. He’s taught this course on world religions at William Beagle Junior Secondary School in Surrey for eight years, and sees it as a new approach to combatting raci#) prejud ice and bigotry. more His comparison between Santa Claus and the Hindu god Yama is one of the techniques Bentley uses to make young people familiar with religions such as Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism. Christi sanity and Islam Bentley's philosophy is that once people understand how other religions work, racial prejudices associated with people who follow those religions dis appear. The former merchant seaman, saw mill worker and real-estate salesman said he developed his course for his Social Studies classes at the ethnically diverse Surrey high school “because of the way some people in the school treated one another.” “It really stopped the racial prob- lems at our school,” Bentley said. “The kids enjoy it.” The provincial government printed up copies of Bentley's eight-booklet course this March, and distributed them to schools throughout B.C. He's giving lectures on his course and on world religions at schools and at public meetings with an eye towards getting teachers, students and parents interested in having the course taught in their area. Bentley says since the course can be taught in 30 hours of classroom time, it can be part of the 120 hours allocated for Grade 9 Social Studies — 30 hours of which is set aside for locally de veloped material. But Doug Carter, head of the Social Studies department at Stanley Hum phries, says teaching Bentley's course as part of the Social Studies curriculum would be too time consuming. He said although about 110 to 115 hours are allocated to Social Studies courses, this is whittled down to about 90 hours after professional days and long weekends. continued on poge A? won't just be collecting goodies.

Residen tial assessments are divided into two components: land and buildings. Davies says the drop in the value of the land portion simply reflects a drop in the market value of lots If a homeowner decides to appeal, he should know a couple of things. Firstly, all properties were assessed as of July 1 of this year. That means the assessment notice didn’t take into consideration any change in the value of the home between July 1 and now If a homeowner is appealing on the grounds that the home has dropped in value from July 1, forget it Under the new B.C. Assessment Act, assessors and courts of revision only look at the home's worth on July 1 1984 and not at any other time “It gives us something to hang our hats on,” explains Davies. Previously, assessors were required to place a value on homes and then try to predict what the value would be when assessment notices were finally issued which could be several months later Another change this year is that assessment notices will only be issued every two years. The latest notice won't affect the 1984 tax year. but will be used for the 1985 and 1986 tax years.
