The Aviation department has increased its staff by
two, with the addition of Randy Battison, flight instruc.

navigation and air regulations.

Battison brings over 5,000 hours flying and
instrueting experience to the job, while Dillon, a
22-year-old air force veteran, has three years teaching
experience in ground school training coupled with a long
career as a pilot of multi-engine aircraft in the Canadian
Forces.

New i to the college's C: Information
Systems Technology program are Howard Pickering and
Jim Knecht. Both have extensive backgrounds in the
computer field. Pickering comes from Victoria where he
operated his own consulting firm for four years before
joining Selkirk College.

Knecht's background in the computer field encom
passes both industrial and educational experience. He
was employed for five years as a test engineer with
Lockheed Missile and Space Co. then taught computer
courses for a California county education department

ONE OF THE latest promotional ideas to attract
Expo 86 tourists to visit other parts of the province could
prove to be someone's ticket to immortality.

To encourage travel around their neck bal tee woods,
the Rocky M. Visitors Associati
will be raffling off a premier Rocky orate peak.

The lucky winner's name would be listed in tourist
guides throughout the world.

Don Foxgerd, managing director of the association,
says the idea to name a mountain after someone came
about after a of the other i ive projects
that are happening around B.C.

“If Vancouver Island can give away an island and the
Cariboo can give away their gold, then we thought it only
fitting that we give title to one of our best features.”

In addition to the honor of having a mountain bearing
somebody's name, a plaque with an inscription on it will
be placed along the highway within viewing distance of
the premier peak.

police, so that they don't have to repeat their story
unnecessarily, says Ironmonger.

Victims are “frightened, afraid of what's going to
happen to them — afraid of what's going to happen. If it’s
a relative, that they're going to be sent to jail,” Iron
monger said

He said with younger children, social workers use
anatomically correct dolls, which “is certainly a good way
to get the younger child to talk in specific details about
what's happened.”

Social workers and psychologists encourage the
victims of sexual abuse to vent their feelings

“You have to help the child understand that it wasn't
their fault, and that it's all right for them to feel angry
about what's happened, and angry toward the offender,”
explained Ironmonger

“I think you have to recognize that, the time the
incident is disclosed, the child is in a crisis,” said Iron-
monger.

“Obviously a parent is going to be angry, but they
should let the child know they're not angry at the child,
but what's happened to the child.”

Often, sexually abused children give off “signals”
that parents should watch for. Ironmonger said with
young children it might be changing sleep patterns, new
fears, or a preoccupation with “sexual talk.” With older
children, it could be a problem at school, or frequent
running away from home.

Parents can also educate their children to protect
themselves against sexual abuse.

“You have to make children understand that they

they have the right to

their confidence and faith in themselves.”

Psychological damage to the child is usually linked to
the degree of abuse, he says.

“Obviously, the longer it's gone on and the more
violence and power involved, the more damaging it's
going to be to the victim,” Ironmonger said.

People who know of a case of sexual abuse involving
a child are required by law to report it to the Ministry of
Human Resources, which in turn reports it to the RCMP.

Ironmonger said some people might mistakenly
overlook a case of suspected sexual abuse involving their
child, preferring to believe that it's an isolated occurrance
which won't be repeated

“The danger in not reporting it is, while it may seem
like an isolated incident, there could be a pattern of
incidence with other children in the community,” he said

“My advice is, if you are something
suspicious is going on, to report it.”

Ironmonger said complaints of sexual abuse from
children should be taken seriously by parents, because
child victims rarely lie about the experience.

‘As well, the parent should make an effort to be
receptive to their child when hearing about an incident
that appears to be sexual abuse.

to be able to talk openly about children’s body parts, and
the fact that they belong to the children, and that no one
else has the right to touch them.”

He said parents may want to approach the subject by
playing “what if” games with their children

“For example, what if someone came up to you and
said they wanted to go into the park with you?”

VANCOUVER (CP) Overcrowding in British
Columbia schools has created potentially dangerous
situations in which some students already have been
injured, the president of the B.C. Teachers Federation
said today.

Pat Clarke, releasing the results of a federation
survey of classroom size, said he has reports of chemicals
being spilled and students injured in science classes.

“We have science classes in this province that were
built for 24 students and we have repeated incidence of 30
and more students being in those classes.

“Because of the trend of parents and the public
holding agencies such as public schools responsible for
the safety of children, we're going to see recurring
incidents of damage suits in the public schools, of parents
holding schools responsible for the physical safety of their
children.”

Clarke told a news conference overcrowding is par.
ticularly hazardous in the science, shops and physical
education classes.

He also said teachers are seeing a significant
increase in cases of child abuse but don't have the support
system to tend to those children.

“All of this is a feature of a cutback program that has
two years to go,” Clarke said

The federation survey, which was completed by
nearly 83 per cent of teachers, shows that two out of
every five elementary classes and one of every five high

School crowding dangerous

school classes are overcrowded, with some teachers
handling classes of more than 40 students.

There are 4,879 elementary classes and 7,305 secon-
dary classes whose site exceeds the standards set by the
federation of 20 students for classes, 25 for
primary grades, 10 students for special classes and 30
students for all others.

The federation said at elementary schools there are
118,140 students in oversize classes and at the secondary
level 242,599.

Clarké said the overcrowding is due to lack of
teachers. In the last two years the public school systera
has lost 2,500 teachers because of cutbacks in education
funding, he said

Clarke said this comes while enrolment is increasing.

He predicted that if the cuth tinue there will
be classes of 45 to 60 students in another two years.

The provincial government has to decide what its
priorities are, Clarke said

He said the federation doesn’t plan to take any action
to try to convince the government to improve education
funding.

“Weare trying to get some public attention focussed
on what is happening,” he said.

The B.C. education system is one of the most poorly.
funded in Canada, said Clarke, predicting that parents
will start seeking some political remedies if things don't
improve.

Buchanan wins again

By ELAINE MeCLUSKEY

HALIFAX (CP) — Following in the footsteps of his
political mentor, Conservative Premier John Buchanan
marched to a third term in office Tuesday, leaving the
Opposition Liberals crushed and leaderiess.

“T kind of like the job,” said Buchartan, understating the
thrill he was exhibiting at scoring the biggest win in Nova
Seotia polities in 21 years. “I enjoy people.”

In taking 42 of the province's 52 seats, the affable
lawyer became the second Nova Scotis premiuer to win
three terms. He equalled a feat accomplished by Robert
Stanfield, who went on to become national Conservative
leader four years after reducing the Liberals to four seats in
1963.

“Robert Stanfield was my mentor,” said Buchanan, 53,
who has no intention of following Standfield into federal
politics. “I've learned a lot about political life from Mr.
Stanfield.”

Buchanan's gains came at the expense of Sandy
Cameron's Liberals, who dropped to six seats in the
legislature from 12. 1

Gameron lost the rural Nova Scotia riding which his
father and grandfather had represented before him. He said
he would probably step down as leader soon, after hunting
and collecting his thoughts in Guysborough County:

“Liberalism isn't dead in Canada, though I haven't done
mueh for it tonight,” Cameron said.

Alexa MeDonough’s New Democrats, who won only one
seat in 1981, took three this time, qualifying for official party
status. As the only NDP member of the last house she was
afforded official status — which the NDP lost in 1981 after
dropping from four seats — but it was at the whim of the
Speaker.

McDonough, 40, daughter of millionaire Lloyd Shaw,

The fledgling Cape Breton Labor party won one seat —
the Cape Breton Nova riding held by its leader, former New
Democrat Paul MacEwan.

Of the 414,172 votes cast, the Conservatives won
209,378, the Liberals 129,698, the NDP 68,158, the Cape
Breton Labor party 8,302 and independents 640. About 68
per cent of the 610,162 eligible voters east ballots, one of the
lowest turnouts in years.

Buchanan was first elected to the legislature in 1967,
became Conservative leader in 1971 and avenged a 1974
election loss by ousting the Liberals from power in 1978.

MeDonough said she is thrilled to be joined by two other
New Demoerats. “I am 80 glad to see so many people
together to celebrate a party — a real party,” she told
enthusiastic workers at a downtown Halifax hotel.

Premier Richard Hatfield

headquarters in the New

11 days after being charged
with possession with mari
