vineial court.

D'Andrea suggested that

Soobotin® was. convicted
June 8 of charges that he had
attempted -to murder - his
former girlfriend ‘during a
Nov. 10 incident in Genelle.
Soobotin' was. also charged
with attempted murder, for-
ceable seizure, kidnapping,
confining an individual a-
gainst her will, detainment
“for illicit-sex and rape. But
D'Andrea dismissed: all’ the
other charges. ¥

The trial took place on four

KAY JONES

She's got
a sense
of humor

“If anyone would have told me that after 24 years of
being out of teacher's college:T'd still be excited about
teaching, I would: have’ thought- they were. crazy,”
commented Kay Jones. “No,” she continued, “I wanted to
teach for two years and then go: on to do something

exciting like be an airline stewardess or something in the

fashion line.”

For 11 years. Kay has been a Special ‘Education
teacher — one of two in the district — travelling between
Kinnaird Elementary. and ‘Valley Vista tutoring small
groups of students who’ for one reason or another are
having difficulties’ in their regular classrooms. Most of
her students have been in the “low-performing group”,
she told me, “but not in the: low. ‘intelligence group.
Whatever the-reason they're not as motivated as the
other children, so you've got to find out what motivates
them.” She- has always concentrated on having them
master reading skills. “Reading has always been my first
line of attack because reading related to everything else."

Kay. says this: type: of teaching ‘situation can be
stressful. “You never leave it. Twenty-four hours 4 day
you're thinking, ‘How can I get through to this child?”
You've got to be in high gear for every kid that comes to
you. You can't take five minutes out and give them seat
work.”

The Special Education teacher's ‘responsibilities ‘ are
unique, says Kay, because “when the teacher feels that
certain should g $ here else and you're the
somewhere else. .°.

And unlike the classroom teacher, Kay is “locked
into more rigid time‘slots than the classroom teacher. If
the lesson is going well you can’t extend it. And then,”
she laughed, “it works the other way too, if the lesson is
not going well, you can’t shorfen it”

‘Although Special Education “is my first baby,” in the
fall Kay is enthusiastically looking forward to taking a

Grade 2 class at Kinnaird Elementary, Her reason for the

switch? "I: feel that'one should have changes. You
shouldn't stick at the same job year after year.” Kay
maintains: that. primary. teachers, are a special breed.

“They start things off. Little kids are fun,” she continued,

“but I guess every teacher feels that. the age. group
they're: teaching is the best.”

“Kay was born in New Zealand, and has been back
countless times to her home ‘and family. there. Her
ambition as a young woman was to become a “commercial

’ artist or,something to do with animals.” She “never even

thought” of being a teacher until her. last year of high
school.

She went on to teacher's college, majored in'art and
loved it. For five. years she. taught. in New Zealand,
Grades 4; 6 and 6.\“I was most ‘excited with my grade
sixes. I loved them with the same enthusiasm T'll go into
Grade 2. There, was nothing like those 11-year-olds.” |

Kay. came to Canada when, like so many young New
Zealanders, she decided to travel. She planned to visit an
aunt in:Vancouver and then teach her way. around the
world. While living in Trail with a group of. single
teachers like herself, she met, her husband David. The
couple married and lived. in Trail- where David . was
employed as an engineer at Cominco.

‘Then the Jones’ travelled back to New Zealand
where they stayed for over a year. When David got a job
teaching math and then computer science at Selkirk”
College the two of them moved to Castelgar to begin their
family.

The Jones’ have two children, Julie 13, and Neil, 9.
Their daughter is a child with mild to moderate autistic
tendencies,: and Kay shared candidly . with me the
problems she has faced in raising a handicapped child:

Because neither she nor David were. familiar with
babies and pre-school children, they were not aware at
first that Julie was having any problems. As she grew,
however, they. began ‘to “get little hints” that her.

: behaviour was different from the other babies they saw.

“When she was a toddler she didn't cuddle. She was a
very self-contained baby. I was studying English 200 and
Julie would ‘play -happily by herself for hours in her
playpen spinning and twisting objects.” (Their second
child, Neil, Kay recalls, “lasted in the playpen only 15
minutes: one Christmas Eve.) She became concerned
because Julie was not an inquisitive youngser. “She
never disturbed objects on the table. I could take her
places and she would never get into things.

The Jones took her to local doctors who w were helpful
but ‘baffled. She was finally referred to the Diagnostic
Centre in Vancouver and when she was four she was
diagnosed as autistic. Very little is known about the
causes of autism, “perhaps some chemical inbalance or
brain damage,” says Kay quietly, “we really don’t know.”

- Julie has been attending Silver Birch School since
she was almost five. “Boy were wé fortunate to ‘find
Silver Birch and someone like Francis (Martinelli — one
of the teachers there) who has been teaching Julie ever
since. There's a special bond between them. We are so
fortunate to have her. We cannot speak highly enough of
her.”

At the very beginning David and Kay resolved that

' ‘their family life would not suffer. “We decided we would

enjoy Julie for Julie. She really is a neat kid. We would
not ery into our towels, but we would do things like any
other family.”

Consequently, Julie has been skiing with the family
since she was three and now is a very passable little
down-hiller.. =

= Kay maintains that “people teed challenges. People
are too protective of disabled people.”

Kay is onthe board ‘of directors for the Kootenay

KAY JONES . . . with one of her many cats. She “adores animals, especially cats.”

Society For the Hanae She has also been a
member of the C:

middle of a book about of one New Zealand's prime

and is coming

the Primary Teacher's Masnciation, and has been in the
Rossland Light Opera productions.
Kay loves all sports. She jogs as much as she can, and

“[m a tennis fanatic.” The top of her piano is covered _
, with tennis trophies, won in local matches.

She “adores animals, especially cats.” I noticed three
when i visited: Kay also loves reading. Now that
summer's here and the pressures of the school year are
off — at least for the time being — and Kay is able to
spend'a lot of her time reading. She's currently in the

and to her family. She told me about about her grand-
father, Robert Semple, who was a famous politician in
New Zealand. He was one of the founding tathers of the
Labor Party and a cabinet minister for many years. “He
was a colorful person, a great orator. He hada great deal
of influshee: oo on our lives.”

Kay also enjoys stamp. collecting, ‘sewing and 3
_ knitting when she can find the time.

From her family life to her tennis to her teaching
Kay insists, “You have to have a sense of humour.”
