However, as a trade off, the two-year communications arts program proposed to begin next September will be delayed until September 1992. “This decision will release funds to permit us to phase out the electronics engineering tech- nology program and thus respond to the the pressing needs of the students currently enrolled to complete the pro- gram at Selkirk College,” Perra Said in 4 news release. EET students would not have been able to complete the pro- gram at another college without losing time and money already invested in the Selkirk program. Students wrotes letters and demonstrated to protest the can- cellation of the program. Selkirk College Student Society president Jeff Leggat said he’s relieved by the announcement. “That's all I wanted,” he said from his home in Victoria where he is spending the summer. “As far as the electronics program goes, I’m happy with that. I'm pene they’re asi 7 people con- tinue their course: However, he sid he’s disap- pointed it means a delay for the communications program, but added he understands the col- lege’s situation. “They're in a really tight squeeze, all colleges are. Leggat blames both ‘the gov- ernment and college officials. “Programs are going to be cut, delayed and discontinued and that’s only the beginning. It'll go on year after year until college officials and the government start getting serious with fund- ing and don’t allow any more funding cutbacks,” he said. Leggat said college officials should band together and get tough with the government to prevent further programs from cut. He also accused the govern- ment of poor priority setting with program cuts being forced by inadequate funding when funding has been made CasNews photo by Donna Zuber Bill Yackel of B.C.

An annual budget now exceeding $5 million — mostly taxpayers’ money ~ and a feeling that open board meetings will increase ) pablo knowledge and support of the h were doors “some expectation of access” to a board which spends $5 million “in largely public funds.” The hospital trustees could deal with legal, personnel and land matters behind closed doors — called “in camera” ses- sions — the same way that city council and the school board does. Gairns discounted a sugges- tion the hospital board open only a portion of its meetings to the public, saying it would look like the trustees were “putting on a show.” “Having a public portion looks very much orchestrated,” he said. main reasons cited by hospital society members who spoke in favor of the move at their annu- al general meeting at the Sandman Inn. Only a handful of the approx- imately 60 members at the méeting voted against open meetings. The original suggestion was to open the board meetings to the media but hospital society member Mickey Kinakin quickly suggested the public also be included. Kinakin, a Castlegar school trustee, suggested open meet- ings could increase support for the hospital. “A lot of times we try to build alliances,” he said. “Health ser- vice needs every friend it can find.” Former Castlegar administra- tor Dave Gairns said there’s Editorial, page A4 Ed Conroy, the NDP candi- date for Rossland-Trail, said open board meetings will help “It would only be to the oe benefit of the hospital society,” he said. “I don’t think (open meetings) would infringe on business.” Limited space in the board’s meeting room could be a prob- lem, newly elected trustee Margaret Nickle said. But Gairns, who has seen his share of empty chairs at city council meetings, suggested créwds of people aren’t likely to attend hospital board meetings. “I suspect, unfortunately, that you won't haye a big space problem,” he saig’/ City hires animal control officer By CasNews Staff Rover's days of wandering the streets of Castlegar unchecked are over — the city has a new animal cop.

Plant manager Roy Helmkay said operations will resume on the work-share program which started last December. “The sawmill will be running five days a week with two shifts,” he said Friday. Planers continued to work during the mill shutdown, but with inventories now depleted, they will “probably” be laid off next week, he said. “As rough lumber inventories grow, planer crews will be called back as needed,” Helmkay said. He added those layoffs shouldn’t last long and said he’s pleased with the way things are picking up. “I think the market conditions are improving,” he said. “It'll be great I think for everybody to get back to work.” Unemployment rate up slightly By CasNews Staff Castlegar’s average rate of sufficient to provid with an adequate income to live on and, therefore, is a more attractive ” city clerk through the Open Learning Agency.
