Balancing — a noncompetitive form of gymnastics tl emphasizes coordination and body control — will be offer July 22-25 at Changing Our Ways of Thinking: Pea Environment and Global Justice in the 80's, a summer sch sponsored by the Kootenay Centre for a Sustainable Futu “The main thing about balancing is, it’s fun,” Stevens says in a prepared release. “You get to know others inaw that you'll never know them through talk.” As she teaches it, balancing is a type of group yo based on cooperati non-verbal interaction in whi everyone has a chance to excel. It is particularly effecti when working with teenagers, but suitable for alm anyone from school age on up — as soon as coordination a awareness are sufficiently developed. “It's the kind of thing grandparents can do wi grandchildren. Every time they see each other, they can some balancing. In certain situations, it can even take t place of a hugh.” Stevenson, who with husband John shares thr children and eight grandchildren, wrote a book on balaneii several years ago, at the request of friends around t) world. “There was nothing available in print, taught it for more than 40 years.” As a child, she always enjoyed balancing as a form gymnastics. Then, at age 16, the front axle of a truck turne over and crushed her pelvis. “After my accident, I started doing yoga. It wi through my interest in balancing that I saw the possibility ‘combining the two.” She says balancing can be enjoyed almost anywher anytime, including conferences and family picnics. Whe balancers develop a little skill, it's even possible to do public show. Stevenson, a lifelong Quaker, will lead anothe workshop, Working with Conflict, at the summer scho July 22-25.

In a compromise solution no one is really happy, bu it’s better than a head-on conflict where you can really destroy each other.” Stevenson, who was a teacher at the Argenta Friend School from its beginnings in 1959 to 1976, developed 1 course in dealing with conflict for the Grade 12 students there.

Graham Read, chairman of Parents for Quality Education, said today the group contacted a Vancouver lawyer who in turn referred the parents to another lawyer with experience in school closures. “We're just going to make sure everything (the board) did was legal said Read, who declined to name the lawyer the committee was referred to. He said he expects the group to contact the lawyer this week Parents for Quality Education is an ad hoc committee of seven parents from the areas that will be affected by the closure of Blueberry Creek, Ootis chenia, Pass Creek and Shoreacres elementary schools. The school board voted June 9 to close the schools effective July 1 in an attempt to save’ $119,000 in clerical, maintenance and utility costs during the 1986-87 school year The board has said the closures are necessary because provincial funding and a modest residential tax increase are insufficient to keep all schools in the district open next year. At the 2'2-hour special board meet ing Monday attended by a standing room only crowd of about 35 people in the board office, the trustees heard eight more submissions on the closing of the schools. Outside, a group of about 25 demon strators carried signs protesting the school closures Despite the continuing demand that the board reconsider closing the schools, none of the four city trustees who voted to close the schools would make a motion to review the deicision According to Robert's Rules of order, which the board follows at its meetings, a trustee who votes in the affirmative on a motion must move to reconsider a decision steamming from that motion Without a motion on the floor to reconsider the decision, debate on the school closures ended and the earlier decision stood George Anutooshkin, Rick Pongracz and Ed Conroy, the three rural trustees who opposed closing all four schools, were upset their opportunity to try to overturn the earlier decision was cut off. sometime The board, which held public meet ings at the four rural schools prior to making its decision to close the schools, chose at a closed meeting June 23 to hear further arguments because it felt other parents in the district needed to be heard from, including the committee of rural parents. But the trustees made no promise to reverse their decision to close the schools. However, Anutooshkin thought there would at least be an opportunity at Monday's special. meeting to discuss the issue “When we passed a motion (June 23) to hear from the rural parents I thought we would look at this issue openly and consider it,” he said. “if that was not the case, then we should not have met with the parents.” Read took the result of Monday's meeting calmly but criticized the board for the way it handled the school closures. “They have wasted a lot of people's good effort,” he said, referring to the time and energy his group and others put into preparing submissions for the meeting. “If one of the (city) trustees didn’t want to put that motion (to reconsider the decision) on the floor there was no point in being here.” Read added that the four city trustees “should feel guilty to sit there and not entertain that motion.” “It affirms the fact that they probably had their minds made up before (the meeting).” he said. The rural parents committee prop oses that the board close Shoreacres and Valley Vista elementaries and keep open Blueberry Creek, Pass Creek and Ootischenia elementaries by moving students around at various district schools. The committee estimates a need of about 124 full-time equivalent (FTE) continued on page A2 School board reallocates funds By CasNews Staff Castlegar school board announced today that it has been able to reallocate more than $150,000 in staff and support services as a result of closing four rural elementary schools in the district At a press conference this morning, board chairman Kay Johnson and superintendent of schools Terry Wayling distributed a news release listing 19 changes in resources and programs that they say will improve the quality of education for students in the district. ' “It’s not high quality, but it’s good,” Johnson said of the proposed 1986-87 education system that will see, among other things, reinstatement of library programs for elementary schools to the 1982 level, reinstate ment of second language programs at the Grade 5 level for Grade 5 and 6 students, and the addition of a full-time child care worker. “It's better than it was,” Wayling said. “It's better than the last two years.” As the board promised when it announced its intention to close Blueberry Creek. Ootischenia, Pass Creek and eliminated in the district All primary (Grade 1, 2 and 8) students will be in straight-grade classes, Wayling said Closing the schools will also allow the board to. “pick up an additional teacher” for the 1986-87 school year, he said The board budgeted for 124.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers but now will go with 125.5 FTE teachers in September, Wayling said Some of the other programs and services that will result from the school closures include: © reinstatement of full learning assistance time for kindergarten classes; @ extension of the Russian immersion program to Grade 2; an increase in preparation time for teachers; © an increase in the level of school supplies for regular special education students: © implementing the Child Abuse Research and Education (CARE) program for kindergarten to Grade 3 students at all elementary schools; and ean increase in the level of profes and schools, all triple split grade presanic and most double splits will be sional activities for teachers, district personnel. principals and ARAN CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 986 WATER CONTRACT Manager says decision unfair The branch manager of Bartle and Gibson Co. Ltd. in Castlegar has blasted Castlegar council's decision earlier this month to award a $25,000 water contract to an out-of-town firm. In a scathing letter to council, Dave Murdoch cites unfair from materials and labor would have been same as it always has for the last 10 years the city has dealt with Bartle and Gibson.” Murdoch adds that Bartle and Gib- son asked the city to approve “an Central Water, Sewer and Services of Kelowna which received the contract with a low bid of $24,718.61 — about $1,400 lower than Bartle and Gibson's bid. jurdoch says in the letter that Errol Frazier of Central Water, Sewer and Services is the agent for the B.C. manufacturer of the materials specified be available to Bartle and Gibson.” “Hence we had to go elsewhere,” he said, referring to Frazier’s statement at the June 10 council meeting that Bartle and Gibson gets its materials from Alberta. At the same meeting, city engineer George Reshaur said the city would actually be dealing with Bartle and Gibson's Vancouver office. But Murdoch said the quote on the bid came from Vancouver because that office had the information on which to base the quote. “If our bid had been accepted, the denied the “This makes one wonder since only a few years ago an entire subdivision in our city was supplied with the exact hydrants we were trying to have the throughout the city. However, the city , request. day needs of the city of Castlegar and surrounding area. “This means that the city no longer has to tie up public money on inventory just in case (it) should require it.” But Murdoch saved his best shots for the motion to accept the Kelowna firm's bid. Council members had a chance at Tuesday's meeting to rebut Murdoch's letter. But they took the remarks ip stride. Embree noted he has been on city continved on pege A2 No time limit on state of emergency JOHANNESBURG (REUTER) — There is no time limit on the state of emergency declared 13 days ago, says South African President P.W. Botha in an interview published today in Italy. Botha, interviewed in Cape Town by the Milan daily Il Giornale, said reports that the state of emergency would last until the end of June were “only speculation by “1 would say we will keep it as long as is necessary to ensure the p of human lives and property of the great majority of the population,” Botha said. The South African president said most of the recent violence involved bigcks only. “Wherever the policy went into action they did so to protect people,” Car fire at By CasNews Staff A grad celebration early Sunday morning at the Sunset Drive-In was marred by a disturbance in which a group of youths set fire to a car and then refused to let firemen enter the grounds to put out the blaze, Castlegar RCMP report. Police say the Robson fire depart ment attended the fire but did not enter the drive-in which about 20 of the approximately 200 partiers at the drive-in “refused to allow the fire truck in The police report says the car fire “posed no problems to surrounding buildings” at the time of the fire department's arrival. Extra RCMP officers were called to the scene and the group dispersed shortly after, the report adds. Police say Wayne Gritchin of Blue berry Creek was “in control” of the 1970 GMC that burned inside the drive-in. The owner of the Sunset Drive-In, Paul of Ooti . had Botha said. “Some instigators of violence clashed with police so the police had to react.” “We are very unhappy about the numbers of dead and injured in these actions, but in every country the forces of order are obliged to stop acts of violence.” Meanwhile, the South African gov- ernment said today it will suspend daily briefings on political violence because such incidents have declined sharply since the state of emergency was imposed. The daily briefings by the state Bureau of Information have been a major source of information since strict curbs were placed on reporting of the unrest under the emergency. The government said it will continue grad party themselves,” she told the Castlegar News Tuesday. Middleton said Strelaeff charged non-grads a $2 admission to get into the drive-in for the celebration. She added that the parents and grads did not know others would be allowed onto the premises. “We understood the gates to the drive-in would be locked,” she said. Strelaeff, contacted at home today, would not comment on the incident “T can't say anything right now,” he said. The RCMP is continuing the inves tigation of the disturbance. to issue daily unrest reports and call press briefings in the event of major incidents. 7 And in Johannesburg, British oppo sition politician Denis Healey said today the South African government refused him permission to visit jailed black nationalist leader Nelson Man- dela. LETTER RECEIVED He said he learned of the govern ment’s decision in’ a telephone cai to his office in London, which received s letter from the South African Embassy saying a visit to Mandela would be “in opportune.” Healey, foreign affairs spokesman for the Labor party, is on a four-day fact-finding mission to South Africa at the invitation of the South African Council of Churches. In another development, the govern ment blamed unidentified terrorist for two bomb explosions that injured at least 19 people on Tuesday in central Johannesburg One wrecked a snack bar and injured 18 people, including a child, and a man was hurt when another bomb went off outside a hotel. In parliament, Helen Suzman of the opposition Progressive Federal party told the white chamber of the racially segregated house: “This country is becoming like El Salvador and Argen tina, where thousands upon thousands go missing.” Suzman, a veteran critic of apart heid, produced lists with the names of 1,800 people allegedly held.
