[ COLLEGE continued from front page and numerous other requests for program-related materials. “That material has been sent down (to the provincial Ministry of Ad- vanced Education and Job Training) in advance because they asked for those schedules,” Schatz said. How- ever, Schatz said no decision has been made on the proposals. The plan also includes new pro- gram requests. The college is hoping to expand its program base to include additional courses in career tech- nical, university transfer, vocational, adult basic education and appren- ticeship programs. “We're really at the submission stage of both of those plans at the moment,” he said. irs, add O nd get out proving your ham: OCT. 20 to 22 Thursday to Saturday EXHIBITS BY: 1150 Lakeside Drive Nelson, B.C.

It is Bristow sai “The position that the Kootenay presbytery has stated is the position that will likely in practice be followed by the vast majority of the church.” Anderson said the Kootenay pres- bytery is the first to take an official position on the ordination of prac- tising homosexuals, and he said he appeal simply not so,” under review TORONTO (CP) — An appeal that could force a new United Church vote on homosexual ordination has been sent to a special seven-member church panel. The church's headquarters an- nounced Tuesday that the panel, to be named from the 52-member church judicial committee, will meet Nov. 12 to consider a Toronto man's appeal in the sexual orientation dis. pute. The panel is expected to make a recommendation to thd church ex ecutive next month. A decision in favor of the appeal could result in a vote by the church's 98 presbyteries, or district boards, across Canada. The appeal was launched by lay man John Sparling after the church's general council adopted a controver- sia] statement in August that all per. sons regardless of sexual orientation are welcome as church members and that all members are eligible for ordination. The general secretary ruled that the decision did not require a change of the church's constitution, which would require a vote of the presby teries. Sparling challenged that ruling. Meanwhile, the church's 60-mem ber executive is to meet Nov. 21-25 and is expected to deal with a separ- ate demand for a referendum , of church members on sexual. orienta- tion. The demand for a referendum came from Community of Concern, a group within the church established earlier this year to fight the ordin ation of homosexuals. The group has threatened action, including court action, should the referendum be refused. A Toronto support group for the church's homosexual community Tuesday accused congregations and members who withhold money from the church in opposition to the sexu. ality ruling of “economic blackmail.” “We urge them to consider if what amounts to economic blackmail is Christian behavior,” says a state. ment from the Toronto chapter of AFFIRM. The statement says support-group members are proud to be members of the United Church and that the church recognizes “one cannot preach a God of love, justice and equality while practising discrimina tion on one’s own people.” SUN., OCT. 23 Edmonton at Van., 7 p.m: TUES., OCT. 25 Washington at Van., 7:30 p.m. THURS., NOV. 3 Van. at Philadelphia, 4:30 p.m FRIDAY, NOV. 11 Montreal at Van., 7 p.m SUNDAY, NOV. 20 Van. at Chicago, 5:30 p.m FRIDAY, NOV. 25 New Jersey at Van., 7:30 p.m. TUESDAY, Nov. 29 Van. at Calgary, 6:30 p.m. SUNDAY, DEC. 11 Winnipeg ot ne FRIDAY, DEC. 11 Cal; ry Von, 7:30 p.m FRIDAY Y, DEC. 23 Los Angeles at Van. 7:30 p.m. SUNDAY, JAN. 1 Montreal at Van., 7:00 p.m FRIDAY, JAN. 6 Van. at Detroit, 5:30 p.m. 7:00 p.m Hockey Broade “The Spirit" SUNDAY, JAN. 15 St. Louis at Van., Philadelphia at Van., 7:30 p.m. SUNDAY, Jan. 29 Calgary at Van., 7:00 p.m TUESDAY, JAN. 31 Edmonton at Van., 7:30 p.m. THURSDAY, FEB. 9 Van. at Minnesota, 5:30 p.m. SUNDAY, FEB. 19 Washington at Van., 7:00 p.m. THURSDAY, FEB. 23 Toronto at Van., 7:30 p.m THURSDAY, MARCH 2 Van. at Hartford, 4:30 p.m FRIDAY, MARCH 10 Los Angeles at Van., 7:30 p.m. THURSDAY, MARCH 16 Edmonton at Van., 7:30p.m FRIDAY, MARCH 24 Van. at Buffalo 4:30 p.m SUNDAY, APRIL 2 Los Angeles at Van., 7:00 p.m 89.9 Cable FM LISTEN FOR THE HALLOWE'EN PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST! wouldn't be surprised if other pres byteries adopted a similar position. “I haven't seen that in other pres byteries as yet, but that doesn't mean it won't be there,” he said. Anderson said presbytery’s re quest that conference not ordain or i practising h will be considered at an executive meeting in early November. The Kootenay presbytery action is similar to motions recently adopted by churches in Newfoundland and the Maritimes. Meanwhile, Kootenay churches rejected a motion calling for a church-wide referendum on the issue of ordaining homosexuals. However, presbytery agreed to request that general council reconvene to discuss the issue. Sign up before deadline By CasNews Staff Castlegar's 22 enumerators will end their knocking on doors in the city tomorrow. The enumerators register voters for the Nov. 21 federal election. Residents eligible to cast ballots in the last election four years ago should not assume they are on the voters’ list for this election, said chief returning officer Tony Naccarato from Trail. “We start from scratch,” the Castlegar News. new ballgame.” To be eligible to vote, you must be a Canadian citizen, over the age of 18 and resident in the country. In Castlegar, each household will be visited by a pair of enumerators at least twice. They started on Oct. 14 and will be finished tomorrow. If the enumerators aren't able to reach you or someone who lives with you at the same address, they will leave a call-back notice with the time when they will return. If you're not on the voters’ list by Nov. 4 you will not be eligible to vote. But if the enumerators miss you, don’t panic. A phone call to Naccar. ato's Trail office before Nov. 4 should solve the problem of missing the enumerators. From Oct. 21 - Nov. 4, there will be revising agents made available to those still wishing to register. A revising agent will be able to register you for the election when you let the elections office know you weren't enumerated. Naccarato will send out his revising agents to your home to register you to vote. “If you were missed by Oct. 20, then we have revising agents go out and locate people who weren't on the list,” he said Voters who are registered will re ceive enumeration cards in the mail, which confirm they are on the voter's list. Castlegar residents who do not receive an enumeration card by Nov. 2 may call Naccarato in Trail to ensure they are registered by the Nov. 4 deadline. Naccarato expects to register about 3,998 voters in the city of stlegar and Elections Canada expects to sign up about 17.1 million voters across the country, compared with 16.4 million in the 1984 election. he told “It's a whole Castlegar News TREET TALK MARTIN VANDERPOL, Area J director on the Regional District of Central Kootenay board and a well-known New Demoeratie Party supporter, found himself in an annual position Sunday during Premier Bill Vander Zalm's visit to Castlegar. Vander Zalm and wife Lillian were in the West Kootenay to open the new chamber building and museum in Salmo Saturday afternoon. They then were the guests at a special dinner Saturday night at Trapper John’s in Salmo. The Vander Zalms made the trip over the Salmo-Castlegar summit Sunday to inspect the Robson-Castlegar ferry and speak to local residents Vanderpol and the premier got into a discussion and before long the premier’s wife had purchased a new bike. Since the Vander Zalms had no way of taking the bike back to their Fantasy Gardens castle with them, Vanderpol offered to take the bike down when he makes his next trip to the coast. CLASSIC FABRICS is closing its doors. The 4th Street business is owned by Gnaman Govendor, who with husband Val, plans to make a new home on the Lower Mainland. Val has taken early retirement and the couple decided it was time to leave the West Kootenay. THERE HAS been a rumor going around the southern Arrow Lakes about a new pulp mill planned for Edgewood. However, Denis Stanley, owner of the Arrow Lakes News, notes in his weekly column that Labor Minister Lyall Hanson, who is also the Okanagan MLA, hasn't heard anything about a business. about the ferry closure. But their visit wasn't all They also managed to stop at bankruptcy sale at Lion's Head Sports on 4th Street, the potential mill. And the Castlegar and District De- velopment Board's Richard Maddocks says the rumor is news to him. SCHOOL BOARD Incumbents set to run By CasNews Staff All three Castlegar school board incumbents plan to run again in the Nov. 19 municipal election. Board chairman Gordon Turner and trustee Mickey Kinakin will both seek re-election in the City of Castle- gar, while trustee Rick Pongracz will defend his Area J seat. All three seats are two-year terms. Meanwhile, Joe Irving threw his hat into the ring for one of the three vacant three-year city council posi- tions. Irving, who was edged out of a council seat last year by some 80 votes, said he feels he deserves a second chance. “I did quite well I thought last time,” he said in an interview. Irving said his concerns haven't changed. He will again focus his campaign on local control of re- sources. He pointed the closure of the Celgar Pulp Co. woodroom as an example. He said the point of the woodroom closure was lost on many residents. The actual jobs lost because of the closure wasn't the issue as much as the long-term effect on achieving a sustained yield forest and in creating future jobs. “The talk about a half dozen jobs or so really wasn't the point,” he said. Irving also said he is concerned about the environment and noted the sutcess local residents had in halting CP Rail's spraying program along the tracks between Castlegar and Nel. son. He said local people were able to bring about a small victory in that instance. “I really do feel that I have some skills and experience and back Free-Trade gets positive light A free evening lecture on the positive aspects of the free trade agreement will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Selkirk College gymnasium. Jim Matkin, president and chief executive officer of the Business Council of B.C., will speak on the “value added” benefits to B.C. busi- ness under the free-trade agreement. “The political and emotional de- bate over free trade has hidden one very important fact,” ‘says Matkin. “Free trade with the United States enhances the opportunity for Can. adian business, large and small, to diversify production and add value to our natural resources resulting in more jobs, improved markets and a strengthened economy for future generations.” Matkin, who has headed the Bus: iness Council of B.C. since 1983, is a graduate of Harvard Law School, and has served as a lead official on B.C.'s compensation stabilization program in 1982, was a negotiation adviser for B.C. for reaching an international hydro agreement on the Skagit Valley in 1983, and intergovern- mental relations in the B.C. cabinet. Thursday's lecture will consist of a 20-30 minute presentation before Matkin opens the meeting to ques- tions and discussion from the audi- ence. For the record ground,” Irving added.
