About 30 people, made up of both Selkirk College students and faculty members, listened atten. tively as Norman Cook, a worker with the Canadian International Development Agency, spoke about the merits of working with the association. Selkirk College is currently celebrating International Develop- The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, February 10, 1993 ment Week, and’ Cvok spoke elo quently and with conviction of the college's role in hosting foreign exchange students, as well as the role young people gan play in becoming part of international development. The,Canadian Inter national Development Agency, (CIDA), is responsible for carry ing out most of Canada’s official development assistance programs CIDA does this in partnership with the people of developing countries—the real force behind international development Cook, who first went on assignment while a university Dr. Hunt is now accepting new patients at 1338 Cedar Ave., Trail, B.C Phone 368-6999 \ io aera REQUIRED - HOME CALLS sp Announcement >) The Association of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C are very pleased to announce the opening of the practice of Dr. Jeffrey Hunt B.pt.£,,N.p. on Monday, March 1. 4 ; Engagement Rings FR Ens & “= 4 oe Gold Chains © Diamond Earrings © Bracelets After the expensive champagne dinner has fizzled from her memory...

The work isn't pret- ty, and for the most part, Cook says it's a daily dose of what people generally don't like to admit exists in the, world—poverty, disease, hunger and anxiety. “It's tough, tough work. But worthy of any young Canadian with heart.” Working through non-governmental agencies, Cook believes that young Canadians are connecting culturally” with the people they are assisting—or as he calls it—“helping others to become peers with us.” elkirk College sReview NORMAN COOK = Violence Continued from 1A Surgenor, said although histori- cally school-yard altercations are common, he was concerned about a new trend which is starting to rear it’s head in Castlegar. “We've had fights in schools for a long time. ‘That happens when you put people together. The other trend that I am concerned about is the unprovoked attack, and the severe beatings, There are stu- dents who aren't directly involved in a fight who pro- voke a fight. There is a differ- ent twist which bothers me, which is the calculated, pre- meditated brutality.” Surgenor said that although the school board is concerned. about the latest incidents, the communi- POKER TF pr Sun., Tues Thurs., Fri. 365-3752 LAST CALL TO ARREST YOUR Please Arrest Can Be Located At Charged With __ Sentence (time in jail) _ Contact Person(s) __ e ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ‘ ' ' ' ' ' ‘ i ' ' ' ' Drop off at the Hi Arrow Hotel fr te ae DID YOU DO TIME FOR CHARITY LAST YEAR?

The school board has already Met to discuss and formulate guidelines on disciplinary action which is to be taken in response to violence, and although Surgenor acknowledges the seri- ousness of such-incidents, he stat- ed that the problem is not only thie school's, but a community prob- lem as well. “This isa serious issue requis- ing a more serious response. We need the support of the communi- ty to hake it work, but we do acknowledge we have the obliga- tion to assure parents that their children are in a safe and friendly environment.” Surgenor said that the board will be examining the latest inci- dent at the next board meeting Feb. 15, which he hopes will result in a firm discipline policy being drawn-up quickly “I would like to move fairly quickly to get a policy in place.” A previous act of violence on Jan. 12, occurred at SHSS when a 14-year-old girl was severely beat by another female student.

(A load ed logging truck would contain approximately 25-23 cubic metres). That amount was estab. lished in 1981 and was based on a timber supply analysis which used forest management practices from the 1970s. Lowering the AAC increases the competition for a timber sup- ply that has been lessened. Prices will increase, and the smaller operator will be affected the most. Eventually, the economy of a community could be affected, especially if t.is highly depen dent on the timber industry Castlegar is a good example Statistics released by the Arrow Forest District Office in Castlegar state that 54 per’cent of jobs in this community are directly relat ed to the forest industry = Submission —— Continued from 1A the college could deliver degree granting programs in Nelson in a cost effective and acadetnically viable format “This is a further evolution to our thinking.
