Our family resides in Area ‘Land it is this area I wish to ‘represent, so that all of our students ‘would benefit posi- ‘tively in a healthy educational ‘environment. My views on education and ‘the future of our children are ‘important ones: (1) Closer communication , between parent, student and teachers to understand and solve educational problems and ito deal effectively. with them. (2) Better understanding ‘of why education is so impor- ‘tant for the secondary students ,in our changing world and to “solve the problems that they : will confront in their future lives. (3) More effective counsél- ling to help prepare students to choose a career which they will _ benefit from in the future. (4) Better programs which will help students understand the importance of morality, respect for all people and the ‘need to take an active role in ‘our community. (5) A pleasant, happy edu- ‘Advertising: lets you know what’s what. eational environment -for all elementary pupils, My name is Lovette Nich- volodott 1 was born in Saskat- chewan and I had my schooling , in Summerland, B.C., graduat- ing from Summerland High.

Now on at Castlegar Drug “tp RUG Page B8 served on all committees of the board, presently being chair- man of buildings and grounds and also a member of the negotiating committee. My main interests during this time were to provide adequate facilities for education in our district and to look into the financial effects to the tax- payer, in our-area. A major role for which I have had responsibility was building and grounds. One of my original’ intentions was to try to assist in providing suitable facilities for education in the rural area. Some of these intentions have been fulfilled in the following manner: _ (1) A new school in Shore- cres; (2) A school with an activ- ity room and library in Tarrys; (8) A school with an activ- ity room and library in Pass (4) Additions to the Blue- berry School—including an ac- tivity room and library; . . {5) Additions to the Rob- son School with a full gym and all facilities; (6) A new school in Qoti- schenia. (Presently, your build- ing committee is working with the board, staff, arthitect and government officials to provide a further classroom, an activity room and library in this school. Hopefully, this will occur in the coming year); . (7) Built new Silver Birch school. We now have an ade- quate facility. ‘It is difficult to remember and describe all of the pro- grams taking. place in our district, but a few of these include the following: We completed a new lib- rary facility at SHSS a few years ago and this year, we completed a new administra- tive area. We now havea senior ‘high schoo] which is second-to- none in the province and of, At KJSS we have added classrooms and shop facilities, In the planning stages for this .school are. new change and washroom facilities. Twin Rivers Elementary has on the drawing board at this time change room and washrooms.. | At Kinnaird Elementary a major grounds improvement is taking place. These grounds Jackson J. Chernoff For City Alderman something we can all be proud should be ready for use if the coming .year. Also, at this school, we are planning new change and washroom facilities. At Woodland Park we are presently undertaking ‘a large grounds improvement program —putting this school in a true “park” setting. At Valley Vista we have plans for a new medical and staff room, plus a’ grounds improvement program., ‘This should take place during the coming year. We are nearing completion of our maintenance facility. The bus garage was completed last year and presently, we are nearing completion of the main- tenance shop and warehouse, If elected, my prime con- cern will be: (1)To provide adequate facilities for kindergarten stu- dents near their homes; (2)To upgrade - existing school facilities without greatly increasing our tan base; (3) To continue to press for more federal and provincial government funding; (4) To press for continuing assistance for the acute need in post-secondary instruction; {5} To press for the need that our ‘teachers be contin- uously upgraded in order that they be equipped with the knowledge to broaden the horizons of our children; (6) To investigate the rieed | for more use of our existing facilities. T feel that my association with the building’ trade all of my adult life, plus my 18 years’ experience as a member of the school board, gives me some knowledge to offer to this district. LT urge your support at the polls. Elderly Grass Grower Wins © A Discharge .
