Z907— 80 Watt System * Moore told 125 students, and instructors that she has — Surround sound had 12 to 16 “contacts” with Selkirk College over the last ern year, on everything from the new transit system to the college's enterprise development centre. “I have worked closely with your board and the administration with regard to the overseas student program,” Moore added. ‘She echoed a concern D'Arcy expressed earlier about students emerging from college facing huge debts because the government has eliminated the grant program. However, she pointed out that one-third of the student loans can be remitted if the student completes his or her program “Still, it's no fun to come out of school and owe a lot of money,” Moore admitted The two candidates were asked to speak on two issues: education and forestry D'Arcy criticized the Socred education policies that he said have created the highest tuition fees in Canada. He said B.C. students do not have the same opportunities as students in other provinces. Coupled with high tuition fees is the fact the province has the lowest commitment to funding post-sec ondary education of any province in Canada, D'Arcy said October 15, 1986 10N ‘86 LECTION ‘86 TRAIL’ MEMBERS READY Five cities to strike By The Canadian Press VANCOUVER — Health Sciences Associations mem bers at Trail Regional Hospital will join i in four other B.C. communities in a strike Thursday. But their employer says the HSA members are jumping the gun. “(The association is) being a little bit trigger-happy at this point,” said Peter McAllister, president of the 135-member employer group, Health Labor Relations Association. McAllister was reacting to the association announce- ment Tuesday it will go on strike at hospitals in five cities at 7 a.m. Thursday. The association represents hospital technologists such as X-ray and laboratory technicians, pharmacists and psychiatric nurses. McAllister said Premier Bill Vander Zalm called him as well as the Health Sciences Association on Tuesday to say he is trying to organize a meeting or talks with parties in an effort to reach an agreement. “The premier's attempting to use his offices to get the ball rolling and that's admirable,” said McAllister. Vander Zalm telephoned Jack Campbell, executive director of the Health Sciences Association, moments before Campbell announced the strike at a press conference. Campbell said he had twice written to Vander Zalm for assistance — shortly after he became premier in late July and then again on Sept. 25 — but until Tuesday there had been no acknowledgement. “If (the premier) can assist us in resolving the problem of paying reasonable salaries so that we can in fact attract people here and keep other people from leaving, then he has done the job that we would like him to do in assisting us in this dispute.” said Campbell. McAllister said the union's assessment that there has been no progress in talks with Industrial Inquiry Munro suing premier VANCOUVER (CP) — The ce cais president of the International Hospitals in Vernon, Trail, Prince George, Victoria and Woodworkers of "America New Westminster will be affected by the strike. said today he is suing Pre- At Victoria General, where 170 association members mier Bill Vander Zalm over comprise about 25 per cent of the hospital's staff, hospital comments made by the pre- executive director Chuck Rowe said if the strike goes mier concerning the current ahead, “elective surgery would not happen.” strike by woodworkers. “It would reduce our level of service to an emergency Jack Munro told a news situation,” said Rowe. conference he filed a suit for At New W “3 Royal Columbian, staff will damages today in B.C. decide today whether surgery will be cancelled in the areas ‘The =, made by f di is -patient electi q of day surgery, outpatient surgery or in patient elective Vander Salen en be atts surgery, said Pat Harrop, vice-president of direct -care : nded cervioos. a National Hockey League The union will maintain a “statutory holiday operating Vegetable level,” said Campbell.

SAFEWAY SPECIALS OPEN SUNDAYS 10 A.M.-5 P.N CANDIDATE FORUM Moore and D’Arcy clash By RON NORMAN Editor Commissioner Fred Long is “nonsense.” But he said the hospitals are not prepared to give in to the union's demands for wage 6f from 14 to 18 per cent in a one-year contract. D'Arcy also took the Socreds to task for the forestry situation, saying there needs to be more money spent on silviculture and reforestation. He suggested the province work its way out of the situation by tailoring programs to the economic needs of each area. But Moore wasn't impressed with D'Arcy’s solutions. She said the NDP is “recycling old solutions to new problems” and that means “money, money and more money.” “I don't know about you, but I don’t have much money in my jeans,” she said. Moore listed her accomplishments in the area of forestry, including work on the Regional District ,of Central Kootenay board where she was involved in a regional forestry study. She said a copy of the last phase of that study has just been made public and she will be looking to the Ministry of Forests to promote the recommendations in the study. Moore said she has worked “very vigorously” on forestry issues such as ensuring small mills in the area had enough timber supply while Westar Timber's Castlegar mills did not go short £ She challenged D'Arcy to show what he had done of those issues. During a question period Moore said she supports B.C. Hydro paying taxes on its installations in the West Kootenay. She pointed out that in 1976 she was the first regional director to address the question of taxing Hydro. She also noted that the issue has never been resolved by neither a Social Credit nor an NDP government. D'Arcy countered that he has a private member's bill — Safeway Quality Meats — Chuck Roast, 5" ig ac ae Leg of Pork Social Credit candidate Audrey Moore and New Democrat incumbent Chris D'Arcy took off the gloves and went at it last week during a forum for Rossland Trail candidates at Selkirk College. s High speed dubbing Digital tuner Fully automotic turntable 3-way speakers NO PAYMENTS UNTIL 1987 O.A.C. ment of some additional service, our members will be on call and will respond.” Campbell said one gate at each hospital will be designated as an essential service gate which will not be picketed “We would be encouraging members of other unions who normally work in the hospital to go to work,” said Campbell. “At this point in time we are only picketing our own jobs and we are hopeful that (hospital's association) will now get down to serious bargaining with us, that is our ultimate goal.” @ PIONEER’ X77M System 210 Watt Remote © Remote Control © 5-Band Equalizer * Sleep Timer © Digital Tuner/Presets * Double Deck Dolby B&C * High Speed Dubbing * 150 Wott Handling * 3-Way Speakers SAVE Regular or Diet or Coca Cola Classic. 1 L.

That happened overnight and that happened because of government policy,” D'Arcy said. He also took a jab at Moore, saying: “Contrary to what some people would suggest, the op jon party did not make these sions. The Social Credit party made these decisions.” He said he hopes to see the day when B.C. again leads the country in educational opportunities. D'Arcy also warned about Premier Bill Vander Zalm’s proposal to reduce the size of government. He said what Vander Zalm really means is he plans to cut back on education and health care services. He called the community college cutbacks “savage,” adding, “nowhere have the cuts been so severe as at the community college level.” D'Arcy said that while both Interior and Lower Mainland students and their parents pay the same tax rates, Lower Mainland students have 3 chance to commute to university while Interior students don't. “What we want to provide is equal opportunity for post-secondary education,” he said D'Arcy reiterated that the present situation was not caused by the New Democrats and said the Social Credit YQ PIONEER’ COMPACT DISC Full size © 3 beam transport * Honey comb chassis ® Random play 24 Tracks * Remote ONLY Q).

In response to a question about whether. the Socred government should have tried to negotiate the U.S. lumber tariff issue, Moore said: “If the tariff comes in at 27 per cent it's going to be very difficult for all of us.” When pressed by the student to give a “concrete yes or no,” Moore grew agitated and retorted: “I'll let Chris give you the concrete yes or no.” D'Arcy said the Socred government should have reviewed stumpage fees before now “The government of B.C. has not been very businesslike,” he said, suggesting the timber licenses should have been open to the highest bidder in a “free enterprise” system. “We could have had a whole lot more revenue,” he said D'Arcy also noted that the U.S. stands to gain hundreds of millions of dollars if it implements the tariff — money that should stay in B.C. through higher stumpage fees. However, Moore noted that while D'Arcy apparently agrees with a review of stumpage fees, NDP leader Bob Skelly is against a stumpage review “There's an inconsistency there,” she suggested D'Arcy received the largest response from the forum audience when he suggested the Socred government has not singled out the Kootenays poor treatment ne ee NEC NEC 28’ RECEIVER TV 1199 With squore screen MIS SAPS Reception and 142 chonnel coble eady & more Look at the Issues EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES Chris D'Arcy and the New Democrats know that every British Columbian must have the opportunity to earna living CHRIS D'ARCY STANDS FOR: Kiro Manor construction. level.

The 47-year-old married man was found guilty by a county court jury which de- liberated nearly four days. Marchant, a former tea cher at a secondary school in Sechelt north of Vancouver, will be sentenced Oct. 23.

WINNIPEG (CP) Is therapy for sex abuse sexist? Two local social workers think so and have found a big need for a counselling service for boys. Two years ago, Ron Kun cewiez and David Sullivan started such a service on their own time away from their regular counselling jobs and quickly found there was a large need for their help. “The number of female victims of sexual abuse has been so large and the need to help them has been so over powering on society that the one count of indecent assault The jury did not have to return a verdict on two charges of extorting sexual services by threat because they were parallel charges to other counts. Prosecution witnesses testified about a series of incidents at the Sechelt high school and at the Native Environmental Studies Centre, an isolated learning facility in a wilderness area Witnesses said Marchant had touched girls on their breasts and legs, kissed them on the mouth, told dirty jokes, asked students about their sexual experiences and told them of problems he was having with his wife.
