Seatbelts a concern

By CasNews Staff

Trustee Kay Johnson crit-
ized Castlegar school board's
policy on seatbelts in private
vehicles transporting stu-
dents, pointing out at Mon-
day's meeting that it doesn't
necessarily mean all young-
sters must be buckled in.

Johnson read out the fol-
lowing statement from the
board’s transportation pol-
iey: “That all principals be
asked to inform teachers and
parents who ar¢ transporting

students in their own veh-
icles on school related act-
ivities to ensure the students
wear the available seatbelts.”

She pointed out that the
statement could be inter-
preted as meaning students
need not wear seatbelts if a
vehicle isn't equipped with
them.

Johnson added she had
received a complaint from a
parent who said her child had
travelled to and from a school

activity in a van with no
seatbelt.

School board superintend-
ent Terry Wayling said some
vehicles built before regu-
lations came in the 1970s
requiring seatbelts may not
have them, but are legally
fully covered by insurance.

He said the board would
have to make a policy change
to prohibit students from
riding in vehicles with no
seatbelts — a move which
Johnson advocated.

Instead of two separate
firehalls, each with an assis-
tant chief, the department
will have one deputy chief in
charge of both the north and
south halls, in addition to
Chief Bob Mann. Theron
Isfeld will be the deputy
chief.

Other changes will see Ald.
Bob Pakula step down as a
fire captain. Pakula said he
simply had too many other
things to do and could nc
longer afford the time re-
quired of a captain.

He will be replaced by
Lieut. Rick Hahn. Joe Rosse
will take over Hahn's lieut-
tenant duties while Ray
Hackett will take over as
lieutenant from Jack Nich-
valodoff at the south hall.

Protective services com.
mittee chairman Ald. Albert
Calderbank called the chan-
ges “amicable”.

As well, the deputy chief,
captains and lieutenants will
receive an increase in their
stipends.

The deputy chief will re-
ceive $300 a month, up from
$200 a month, while captains
and lieutenants will get $60
each a month, a $10-a-month
increase.

“These figures will not
increase the budget,” said
Pakula. He said some posi-
tions have been eliminated,
making the total budget
actually less than before.

Brown said she was “really pleased
to hear the board has taken this step.”
Brown also asked if the board as a
whole has considered what will be done
if the budget is not accepted. The
college expects to receive its budget in

about two weeks.

“We're not going to physically fight ©

Colbert said.

Mark Andrew Meredith,
17, of Rossland has had an
armed robbery case against
him adjourned to April 4,
when he'll elect to be tried
either by judge, or judge and
jury.

The adjournment was
made during an appearance
Tuesday in Castlegar provin
cial court.

Meredith faces charges of
armed robbery, committing
an indictable offence while
his face was masked, two
counts of possession of stolen
Property, possession of a
dangerous weapon and un.
lawful use of a firearm.

He was arrested less than
24 hours after a robbery
March 6 at the Castlegar
Mohawk gas station at 1415
Columbia Ave.

As well, construction for
the first two months is down.
Though the same amount of
building permits were issued
this January and February —
37 — they come to nearly half
the total of the first two
months in 1984.

The permits total $372,000
for the first two months this
year, a drop of $289,250 from
the total last year of $661,
800.

However, the city has
issued more business licenses
so far this year — 334. That's
29 more than for the same
time last year, when 304
were issued

But not as many home
owners paid their water and
sewer bills by the discount
deadline date this year. The
bills had to have been paid by
the end of February for
homeowners to get a 10 per
cent discount.

Administrator Dave Gair
ns said 71 per cent of the bills
were paid by that date, down
from the average of about 80
per cent in previous years.

Gairns added in a memor.
andum to council, “There
were no complaints at the
counter about the modest
increase in water and sewer
user fees.”

TREET TALK

IT’S WAR OUT there. And if you don't believe it,
just ask the two area radio stations. CKQR in Castlegar
and CJAT in Trail are going head-to-head for the same
market.

The battle heated up this morning with the
announcement that CJAT’s owners have applied to
purchase the Nelson and Creston radio stations.

Four Seasons Radio Ltd., a Kelowna-based company
which owns CJAT and CKIQ in Kelowna, has agreed to
buy Nelson's CKKC and Creston'’s CFCK from David and

Schmidt.

What makes this purchase interesting is that CKQR,
owned by Selkirk Broadcasting Ltd. (whose major

going through some staff changes. Planning director

shareholder is Brady), has received app
from the Canadian Radio-television and Tel

tions Commission to boost its radio signal from 1,000 to
20,000 watts.

The bigger signal will mean CKQR will be able to
beam into Nelson (in fact past Nelson to Balfour) and
Trail. Thus, the two stations — CJAT and CKQR — will
be battling each other in Nelson, Castlegar and Trail.

So you can bet that the CKQR management is more
than a little concerned about CJAT’s proposed purchase
of CKKC.

One thing about the purchase (it must still be
approved by the CRTC) is that Nelson residents could see
a major improvement in their radio station.

ROBERT REDFORD in Castlegar? That's the word
on the street. Apparently Redford and John Davidson
flew into Castlegar Airport last Monday on Redford’s
private jet for a week of skiing. They are reported to
have stayed at the Sandman Inn while doing some spring
skiing at Red Mountain.

So that's why the crush of people at Red last week?

Policy labe

By CasNews Staff

A Castlegar school board policy statement on parent
group relations with schools was tossed back to committee
for rewording after a trustee complained it unfairly dictated
how parent groups should be run.

Trustee Kay Johnson objected to the word “should”
being used in the policy statement. For example, one section
reads that parents groups “should work actively to: (a)
encourage teachers (b) supplement school equipment (c)
support the curricular and extra curricular activities.”

Johnson said at Monday's meeting that she was
concerned that the board was over-reaching its authority by
setting “a second set of goals” for parent groups, over which
it has no direct control.

She also said statements in the policy were too vague,
such as a directive which says parent groups “should be
aware of school and community conditions affecting the
child.”

“If we're going to create policy, we have to be clear on
what we're saying,” Johnson said

Board chairman Doreen Smecher pointed out that the
policy hadn't been inititated by the board, but had been

Iled unfair

board policies are routinely circulated among groups
affected by them.

“By the time it gets to the board table for discussion, it's
been given the stamp of approval by those affected by it,”
Smecher said.

“A broad statement is all we're presenting to them, and
how they govern themselves in specifics with regard to that
broad statement is entirely up to themselves,” she told the
meeting.

Johnson said although board members had had an
opportunity to see the proposed policy before the meeting,
they should have had opportunity to discuss it informally
beforehand.

Another policy statement on non-instructional days
when students are given the day off while teachers engage
in professional activites, was attacked by Johnson as being
unclear. . a

The policy said the number of non-instructional days for
any pupil won't exceed five per year, and added that, “At
least two days shall be with all schools closed. Up to three
days shall be either both secondary or all elementary schools
closed.”

“It's mbersome and it isn't clear,” Johnson
need to be clear on what I'm voting on. If I

developed by the board's policy in resp to“a d
number of requests” from parent groups and school
principals.

She added in an interview that parent groups

previously had input into and had read the document, since

seem to be discouraging, I don't mean to be.”

The non-instructional day policy was passed, along with
policy statements on teachers’ leaves for government
service, and vehicle insurance coverage.
