Public health nurse Cindy

person to peer counselors at the

developed by the students as part
of the Healthy Schools Initiative

The Healthy Schools mandate
is to “help kids change their
school environment to a healthier

Talarico said she knows that the
topic of condom use and installa-

to add c to
the questionnaire if desired.

She said that if condom
machines are installed at the
school they would be installed
in only one male and one
female restroom.

“The idea is that people need
to be responsible and not leave it
up to one sex or another,”

Talarico stresses that condoms
aren't infallible and that abstinence
is the only way in which protect
against sexually transmitted dis
eases and unplanned pregnancies.

“Even with condoms it's not
100 per cent and that message is
out there.””

School budget remains

KAREN KERKHOFF
Sun Staff

The Castlegar School District
has approved its preliminary bud-
get for the 1995/96 school year.

Secretary-treasurer John
Dascher said the $17.4 million
budget is an increase of 1.13 per
cent, or $193,926, over last
year’s budget.

This, explained Dascher,
leaves the district “status quo”
over last year’s budget, howev-
er, there are staff increases
included in the budget for a
half-time computer technician

position, a 10-month grounds-
man increased to 12-months and

tary,

plans to reduce staff or hours of
work nor to drop programs
already in place.

Other budget requests, such as
increases for school supplies and
in-service and additional equip-
ment, have been deferred to this
fall with the hopes that increased
enrollments will bring additional
revenue

The Ministry of Education has
projected a 3 1/2 full4ime equiva-
lent student increase for the district,
but Dascher hopes that the min-
istry’s projection is off the mark.

“With all the construction

As of February 1995, the dis-
trict has enjoyed an.increase of
13 1/2 FTE students since last
September, which is 10 stu-
dents above the ministry's pro-
jection

This is a welcome addition for
the district

“If we have additional students
it means we have additional rev-
enue. Anything above [the min-
istry’s 3 1/2 student projection] is
a plus.”

This year’s wages and benefits
eat up $13,229,600, or 88.38 per
cent of the budget, while last year
wages cost the district
$13,046,800.

Jaws

A single-vehicle accident on
Pass Creek Road April 27
resulted in the jaws of life
being used to extricate Jen-
nifer Orriss from the vehicle.
RCMP say Orriss, 19, of
Castlegar, was treated at
Castlegar and District Hos-
pital for minor injuries. The
cause of the accident is still
under investigation, howev-
er, RCMP say they believe
that the driver, 20-year-old
Kristopher Konkin of Shore-
acres, was travelling too fast
when negotiating a corner.
Konkin was also treated at
hospital for minor injuries,
Damage to the vehicle is
estimated at $10,000.

Help wanted

Castlegar RCMP are asking
the public's help in locating
the individual(s) responsible
for damaging the grass at the
Castlegar cemetery April 25.
Cpl. Al Hudema said that
someone entered the ceme-
tery with a vehicle and
caused some $1,000 to the
grass. It appears, said Hude-
ma, that the vehicle then got
stuck and required the ser-
vices of a tow truck.

Surprise!

A resident returning home
from a weekend away found
an unwelcome surprise
awaiting him. Castlegar
RCMP say when the man
arrived at his McPhee Road
home he found that his
house had been broken into.
While making inquiries in
the neighborhood, police
found that a residence across
the street had had its base-
ment windows tampered
with. There are no suspects,
however RCMP continue to
investigate

Apprehended

Three Castlegar men were:
arrested after a burglar alarm
at Zuckerberg Island alerted
Police to a break and enter in
Progress at the Chapel
House. Cpl. Dave Beach
said that when RCMP
arrived around 3 a.m. last
Sunday morning they appre-
hended one man and later
apprehended the other two
with the help of an RCMP
search dog. The men, ages,
19, 20 and 21, had allegedly
smashed a window to gain
access. Taken from the
Chapel House were a vase
with dried flowers, a silver
kettle, and a picture frame
with arrowheads. One of the
men, said Beach, is “known”
to RCMP. The trio will
appear in court July 5 to
answer to charges.

Vandalized

Castlegar RCMP are investi-
gating the smashing of a
window of a vehicle parked
at the Twin River Motel.
Police say that a window of
a 1979 Mercury Capri was
smashed in the early morn-
ing hours of April 30
Another vehicle parked in
the 600 block of 18th Street
was also vandalized the
same day.

Charged

Two Fruitvale youths have
been charged with 22 counts
ranging from break and
enter, willful damage, theft
of cheques, forgery, trying
to cash forged cheques and
breach of undertaking in
relation to an April 22 inci-
dent in which 14 locks on a
mailbox and numerous
garages in Fruitvale were
cut off. RCMP say the
youths, ages 17 and 15,
were on a court undertaking
in relation to an earlier
alleged theft from motor
vehicles in the Trail area
The two appeared in Ross-
Jand court on April 27, but
have since been released
from custody.

Suspicious fire

Nelson RCMP are treating a
fire which gutted a garage
and nearby barn in Winlaw
on April 27 as suspicious
The fire occurred at 5657
Wishloff Road.

O'Connor said that in discus-
sions with residents, their major
concern is dust and he empha-
sized that Saliken and Gienger
should work to keep dust down.

“We've got a couple of peo-
ple up there that have asthma
bad,” he said.

Earlier Gienger told council
that ground up asphalt would be
used on the surface of the new
road and they would watere the
surface regularly.

“That should help keep the
dust down,” agreed O'Connor,

A number of area residents
had written council opposing the
gravel pit. They cited concerns
about noise, dust, traffic and

committee also recommended
the gravel pit not proceed, point-
ing to similar concerns, especial-
ly with so many trucks using

gestion the trucks would gener-
