Bridge has since — Cashews Photo VICTORIA (CP) — A shortage of qualified teachers will have no effect on the provincial government's plans to change the curriculum offered in British Columbia high schools, Education Minister Jack Heinrich said Tuesday. Heinrich released a discussion paper proposing changes to the curriculum for students in Grades 11 and 12 that would see the number of compulsory courses needed for graduation increased, and greater emphasis placed on mathematics and sciences. Physical education, on the other hand, would become an elective after Grade 10. "Phe minister said the language curriculum would be strengthened with new stress on Asian languages — Japanese and Mandarin. Heinrich admitted that finding qualified Japanese and Mandarin teachers would be a problem, but said that a first step would be to have the programs included in the curriculum. He said that in the areas of mathematics and science “we know now that there are not sufficient number of teachers with that area of specialty.” Teacher shortage to have no effect on education “So, this is going to take some time before we can put it together, and the same with Asian languages. Obviously there will have to be people recruited ove. a period of time.” The minister was unable to say how much the changes would cost. The proposal recommends students choose from three study programs: arts and sciences, applied arts, an sciences or career preparation. He said stress was being placed on Asian languages because of British Columbia's position on the Pacific rim, adding that Mandarin was preferred over Cantonese because it is the official language of the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan and the language of business. The minister said the public, and parents in particular, have demanded that secondary school students be given greater challenges and “this proposal responds to our own recognition of the need and that public demand.” He said this is the second step towards enhancing the quality of education in the province — the first being the introduction of y provinci i GEARING UP FOR FIGHT It's oe Pe Ate - VANCOUVER (CP) —“British Columbia's trade union movement is gearing up for another fight, but this time it’s not with the government, it's with non-union contractors who are under-bidding union companies.

College of Physicians and Surgeons. “Physicians are not to deal with or recognize chiroprac- tors,” Hutchison said, quot- ing the college's ethics and discipline committee, which ruled that four Vancouver doctors could not rent office space in a building they own to chiropractor Francis Dud eck. Dudeck, who graduated from the Canadian Chiroprac- tic College in Toronto last year, wanted to rent space in a Vancouver building owned by Project 20,000, a holding company controlled by the doctors. “Everything was going fine until one of the doctors said the rental would have to be cleared with the college,” said Dudgck. plete the second and third phases using J.C. Kerkhoff and Sons Construction Ltd., saying its bid for the first phase was $1.9 million less than the closest union bidder, and for the second and third phases, nearly $3 million less. PICKETS UP Pickets from the B.C. and Yukon Territories Building and Construction Trades Council and the B.C. Provincial Council of Carpenters halted work on the site March 5 before the contractor had time to do anything more than raise his sign on the site. Kerkhoff went to B.C. Supreme Court which ruled that there could only be 12 protesters at each entrance. After a number of incidents — including one where a Kerkhoff employee turned a fire hose on protesters who responded by pelting him with rocks, one of which hit him in the face — the company went to the Labor Relations Board asking for the pickets to be removed. The board rejected the councils’ arguments that it is their right to picket under the Charter of Rights and that Pennyfarthing, because it has used union contractors in the past, was bound to use unionized companies again. Board vice-chairman Ken Albertini ordered all picketing to stop at or near the site and he ordered the unions not to try to persuade people from entering the site. There were still about 60 pickets at the site following the order Tuesday. If the trades continue to ignore the pickting ban, then either Kerkhoff or the board itself can request that Albertini’s decision be made an order of the B.C. Supreme Court. Defiance of such an order could lead to contempt of court charges and police intervention. PLANS DELAY Bill Kerkhoff, president of J.C. Kerkhoff, said Tuesday that work would not begin on the site immediately, to allow a cooling-off period. But he also said that his company planned an deliber- ately provoked by the original clash. “It worked basically the way we planned it. “We expected something like this to happen and that's why we sent someone in right at the beginning to provoke it — if you like — because we wanted to have a confrontation right up front.” at the C YOU ARE INVITED Castlegar Savings Credit Union ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Monday, March 19 - 7:30 p.m. H & District C y Complex * Meet the Board of Directors, Staff & Special Speakers tlections b id ® Special 35th Anni REFRESHMENTS vy Loy: ge © Special Guest Speakers — Jack & Selma Dublin — Authors of “Credit Unions & A Changing World NUMEROUS DOOR PRIZES 1972 weleomed by Reaganites because it would delay a direct partisan contest and could divide the Democrats in advance of the presidential election.

Gandhi feud heats up again NEW DELHI (AP) — The feud between Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her daughter-in-law has heated up again, with the prime minister claiming she was not allowed to see her grandson on his birthday. The boy’s mother, opposi- tion politician Maneka Gan- dhi, accused the prime minis- ter today of trying to “kid- nap” Feroze Varun and of sending police to his school to pick him up illegally on his 66-year-old grandmother on his birthday. Indira Gandhi said the mother refused to permit the boy to visit her weekly, as agreed. POLITICAL RIVALS Maneka and Indira are political enemies as well as feuding family members. Both women tangle in the press, but never speak dir- ectly. Each accuses the other of exploiting the child. Maneka is the widow of In- dira’s son Sanjay, killed in a stunt plane crash in 1980. Two years later Maneka was ordered out of the Gandhi complete nonsense that I re- fused jon (for Indira Gandhi to see the boy). They tried to kidnap him. If a grandmother loves the child so much, she shouldn't have him picked up by the police.” The prime minister denied having sent police to the school. Indira Gandhi's side of the story was published at length Tuesday night by the United News of India and her news- paper outlet, the National Herald, proclaimed today in a front-page headline, A Grandma Anguished. Her account said Maneka would not come to the phone when an aide called and would not meet someone sent to ask for the boy to visit his h hold. She began her own political party, criti- cizing Indira’s Congress party for inefficiency, corrup- tion and unresponsiveness to the people's needs. The National Herald re- port said that after Maneka would not send the boy to his grandmother, another daughter-in-law, Sonia Gan- dhi, went to the boy's school to give him candy and gifts. It said Maneka rushed to the school “with some muscle men” and took the child away. Maneka, who lives across the street from the school, said she heard a commotion, saw police and a crowd in the playground and “I ran to the playground to pick up my son and ran back.” Actress surprises armed burglars LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Penny Marshall, star of the Laverne and Shirley TV series, was briefly held hostage by two ski-masked burglars armed with swords and knives after she sur- prised them in her home, po- lice said today. Marshall, 39, was not harmed during the incident late Tuesday night and two teenagers were arrested in the nearby Hollywood Hills with the aid of dogs, police said. “She is OK,” said Sgt. Jim Lowry. “There was no medi- cal treatment of her. How- ever, one of the suspects was bitten by a K-9 unit (dog).” The bitten youth was given at the scene. The you! ges 18 and 19, were not identified. “She came home and sur- prised the suspects,” Lowry said. The youths held her brief- ly, but she managed to break free long enough to trip a silent alarm that notified Westee Security, a private firm. Guards from Westec called police and also hurried to the scene, Lowry said. A guard saw one of the burglars on Marshall's front porch and reported that the youth ducked back inside. The teenagers then. appar- ently fled into nearby hills, but were caught after offi- cers from the Hollywood Division conducted a helicop- ter and ground search, Low- ry said. “Propetty was taken, but was recovered,” said, adding that the burglars had been armed with “swords and knives.” Westcoast Seafoods located at a | Mohawk & Grocery Store FRIDAY, MARCH 16 10 a.m, to7 p.m. bene } Pui remodeled powder-blue death chamber at 12:40 a.m. CST.
