College bans smoking in buildings By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer Selkirk College has become the latest ina line of institutions to adopt a no-smoking policy. The college board voted Tuesday to implement a no-smoking policy in all of its facilities. “To ensure a safe, clear and healthy educational environment for students, employees and others within the in stitution, Selkirk College will adopt a no-smoking policy in all college facili ties,” a policy committee report to the board said The report adds that as a public education institution, the college is “obliged to provide a safe, learning environment which is sensitive to health concerns.” “Given an increasing frequency of complaints from individuals suffering allergies and the majority of non smokers, Selkirk should provide some educational leadership,” the report adds However, college Leo Perra said, “It's (no-smoking policy) going to be difficult to police.” In other news, despite a tough finan cial year, Selkirk College ended the year with a surplus. Bursar Dale Schatz told the board that the college has been left with a surplus of $39,356 for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1987 “1986-87 was one of the more difficult years the college faced,” said Schatz The board passed a motion to retain the $39,356 surplus as a cash reserve Three new members have been appointed to the college board while two others have had their appoint ments rescinded. The three new board directors are James Wood of Silverton, S.W. (Web) Webster of Castlegar and Jim Gray of Trail. All three have served on the college board before. Leaving the college board are Robert H. Buckley of Trail and G. Boyd Hard wicke of Grand Forks. Webster returns to the board after a four year absence. He served six years as a board member from 1977 - 1983. continued on poge A2 president AM SE Mb WORKING THE LINE . . . Crews sandblost CP Rail for bridge across Columbia River at Castlegar.

Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco made the announcement this week after the final report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. was tabled in the Hause of Commons. “It may not be ideal,” Brisco said ina prepared release. “But it’s a lot better than the commission's original proposal to do away with Kootenay West al together.” The commission's report was sym. pathetic to Brisco’s concern about the lack of ties between what is presently Kootenay West and Revelstoke. Brisco had suggested the commission expand the Kootenay West westwards to take in Grand Forks, rather than northward to include Revelstoke. The commission said that Brisco's idea would bring about “not only dis regard of the electoral quota but geo- graphical inconsistencies as well.” “I would like to welcome aboard Trout Lake, Revelstoke, Mica Creek and all the communities in between,” said Brisco. “As well, I would like to thank all those who wrote to the com mission, supporting the decision to drop below the average to allow for more rural ridings, and ultimately the BOB BRISCO . not ideal reinstatement of Kootenay West.” Meanwhile, federal and municipal politicans are considering taking legal action to overturn a decision that would dramatically Vancou ver's electoral pie and eliminate one of five ridings in the city. Critics are calling the decision unfair recarve idi because it will saddle area members of Parliament with as many as 30,000 more constituents than some of B.C.'s less populated ridings, particularly in the Kootenay region. “I think they have shown complete ignorance of the reality of servicing inner-city ridings,” Ian Waddell, NDP member of Parliament for Vancouver Kingsway, said of the commission “They have a horse and-buggy notion of politics.” * Waddell said he planned to meet with his lawyer to explore taking the issue to court in a last effort to save the riding he has represented since 1979. Waddell said he was heartened to learn Vancouver Mayor Gordon Camp bell has also asked the city's legal department to investigate what chan nels may be open to a court challenge “Frankly, I think the recommen dation of the electoral boundaries com mission is reprehensible,” Campbell said. The report of the commission is final. Boundaries for the next election will be based on its findings as long as redis tribution across the country is com pleted at least one year before an election call. Under the changes, Vancouver Kingsway will be eliminated and parts of it added to the remaining four area ridings of Vancouver Centre, Van continued on page A2 ospital ends year in the red By CasNews Staff Castlegar and District Hospital closed out its 1986 fiscal year with a $42,797 deficit, finance committee chairman Nick Oglow reported at the hospital's annual general meeting. That is an increase of some $6,000 from the 1985 deficit of $37,859. Oglow said the 1986 deficit will be financed out of equity. He blamed the deficit on the fact the provincial Hospital Programs re duced the hospital's equity fund by $250,000. “The hospital had earned these funds by way of investment income over many years of careful attention to revenue and expenditures,” Oglow said. He noted that the province increased the hospital's budget by $84,000 to cover a six per cent increase in in-patient activity and a slight increase in out-patient services. Other contributing factors to the de- ficit included: e A $7,795 drop. in investment income due to less money being invested and reduced interest rates; ¢ $12,700 for extra staff and supplies for the hospital's flooring project; © $4,250 for unexpected repairs to the fire alarm, heating and ventilation system; @ $12,940 due to increased prices and use of medical and surgical supplies. $10,280 because of increased costs in patient care and diagnostic areas resulting from increased x-ray activity and more lab tests referred out. “In spite of the deficit, your hospital continues to be one of the more efficiently operated facilities, according to Hospital Programs Monitoring Sys- tem comparing hospitals of a similar size,” Oglow said. Meanwhile, the board agreed to establish a Hospital Foundation which will receive donations, gifts and be- quests. The Foundation will help provide equipment and enhance pati- ent care. “The foundation would be indepen. dent of our society,” Oglow said, “and this would ensure that the funds would be used for the sole purpose of this hospital.” In other news, while acute care activity was up 5.3 per cent — mainly due to the increase in intensive care — long term care use dropped by 28 per cent. The number of newborns also drop- ped by 19 per cent to 95 for the year — 46 males and 49 females. However, out-patient services was about the same as 1985 “with notable increases in radiology and physio- therapy,” said board chairman Merv Rush. Rush said the hospital purchased about $66,000 worth of major items over the last year including a monitor defibrillator, staff paging system, beds, and computer and nursery lights. In addition, several projects have been completed or are nearly finished, among them the re-flooring project, a deaerator, the second phase of the heating.air conditioner controls, eleva tor controls, nitrous oxide modification and oxygen control upgrading. The hospital plans to renovate the dietary department, purchase an ultra~ sound machine for the radiology department and upgrade the hospital auxiliary gift shop. inside ALS FOLD: The Montreal Alovet tes of the Canadian Football League have ceased operations.
