Starting July 1 trustee indemnities will increase by $1,000 a year. At their regular monthly school board meeting Monday night, trustees voted in favor of a provincial govern- ment report authorizing the increase in the maximum indemnity for a school trustee to $5,000 a year from $4,000. But Trustee Doreen Smecher said the money could be put to better use. “Yougan't pay me for the time I put on this board,” said Smecher. “You're no longer offering a volunteer service to your community.” When Smecher first started as a school trustee some 10 years ago, the indemnity was only $500 per year. “I ran for the school board because I felt I had something to offer this com. munity,” she said. “Are we going to be here and make a contribution to our community or take on a paid position?” Board By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer The Selkirk College board will © review its plan to relocate the Early Childhood Education program from the Castlegar campus to its Nelson campus. The move comes after the Human Services Advisory Committee, a vol- unteer organization, appeared before the board Tuesday night in a bid to convince it to keep the program at the Caastlegar campus. In addition to moving the program’to Nelson, the board is also planning to i for the But trustee Rick Pongracz said trus- tees haven't had an increase in years. “The time put in by trustees is worthy and I support the increase,” he said. “I could not take the financial loss from work when meeting in the day time. “I think I have something to con- tribute,” said Pongracz. “If it was not for the stipend I would not be able to afford the time off work.” Pongracz said that the increase is, “better in my pocket than in Victor- ia's.” “If anyone is embarrassed by that they can send their money back to Vic- toria,” he said. The board will meet again regarding an increase for the board chairman. According to the provincial report, the chairman is also eligible for a $2,500 increase to $7,500 from the previous maximum of $5,000. There is no paid vice-chairman position at the Castlegar school board. In other news, the school board will be sending a letter to Federal Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Harve Andre condemning the federal government's proposed changes to the drug patent act. The changes, contained in Bill C-22, would give the manufacturers of brand name prescription drugs protection for 10 years against competition from lower priced generic sustitutes. The Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees local 1298 is urging the board to condemn the proposed changes since the new bill, once passed, will result in such things as individuals paying higher prices for drugs; governments spending more on provincial drug plans (and raising taxes to cover the addi- tional costs); and employers and em- ployees suffering the effects of the in- creases in the premiums paid for pres- cription drug plans. “We as a board are appalled by the bill,” said Pongracz. “This (federal) government has made a real error.” to review move The Early Childhood Education pro- gram is a nine-month program which prepares students for work in the area of child care and development. Students graduate from the program with an assistant supervisor's licence and after completing 500 hours of work in daycare, nursery or school special needs programs, they earn a full supervisor's certificate which allows working with pre-school aged children. “Now, instead of focusing on pro- gram improvements, we are forced to struggle to maintain the quality aca- demic components which now exist in the ECE program,” said Lafortune. She added that some of the problems the Early Childhood Education pro- gram has seen over the last four years include cuts in staff time, loss of pre- viously d and lab them to take full charge of such programs. Catherine Lafortune, chairman of the Human Services Advisory Commit- tee, said most of the people who cut back course req program. on the ra the need to have well qualified people space, equipment shortages and threats to the program's continuation.

He added that he has asked Shaw Cable to air the tape, followed by an’ open line program where viewers would be ablé to call in and ask questions. “We have to be concerned,” Arnott said, and get out the message about AIDS. ; He said that while he is not advocating condoms schools, he believes that the two convenience store chains in the Vancouver area that have decided to sell condoms on a one-month trial to help check the spread of AIDS have “taken a step in the right direction.” Southland Canada, which owns 7-Eleven stores, plans to reported here se in V suburban Burnaby, North Vancouver and West Vancouver. Mac's Milk stores also plans to begin selling condoms in a few days in stores throughout Greater Vancouver and the lower Fraser Valley. Arnott also said the Central Kootenay Health Unit has established a public health nurse as an AIDS counsellor. He said there are an estimated 100,000 homosexuals in B.C. and of that number 30 per cent are estimated to have the AIDS virus. Arnott said officials believe that as many as five per cent a year will develop AIDS. “In the next 10 years we could see 15,000 cases of AIDS in B.C., assuming the virus doesn't spread any more,” he said. That compares to 200 cases of AIDS officials estimate they will see in 1967.

Brisco said it is a good opportunity for a member to express the electorate’s concerns and he said the community should examine the redistribution. ‘contlowed on foge As Death penalty backed By CasNews Staff Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco says he is in favor of capital punishment and says the majority of his constituents feel the same way. Brisco said a poll taken in 1976 showed that some 90 per cent of Kootenay West residents favor the death penalty. “Tve always been an advocate of capital punishment,” Brisco said in a telephone interview. “Especially in regards to the murder of police officers and prison guards. “Where we go to beyond that is hard to say,” he said. “Rape/murder could be a consideration.” Brisco added that the time necessary to turn such a proposal into a bill would allow more opportunity to consider further polling results. Asked about the shooting death of Vancouver Sgt. Larry Young earlier this year, in which the murderer him- self was also killed in the shootout, Brisco maintained that situation was simply “one case.” “But when you get a criminal who kills a police officer and laughs and jokes about it,” he said. “That's a total absence of remorse.” Bri dispelled the idea of the parole procedures and keeping Boy killed by truck By CasNews Staff A 8%/-year-old Castlegar boy was killed Monday afternoon when hit by a truck driven by his grandfather. The tot was playing in the grand- father’s garage about 3 p.m. and his grandfather requested that he stay in the garage while he moved the truck, a family spokesman told the Castlegar News Tuesday. The youngster was still in the garage playing with a toy tractor when the grandfather went to the vehicle, parked about 15 metres away. But when the grandfather went to move the truck, he ran over the boy who had moved, the family spokesman said. The boy was dead on arrival at Castlegar and District Hospital. No names are being released. RCMP say a coroner's inquiry was conducted Tuesday afternoon. convicted murderers behind bars for the entire 25 or 30 years of his sen- tence. “You mean lock him up forever?” he asked. “When he is released what's to keep him from doing the same?” Brisco denied that his support for capital panishment is motivated by an “eye for an eye” ideology of vengeance, or that was it tied in any way to the economic factors of keeping a criminal jailed, especially in maximum security prisons; for a number of years. “I am thinking only of the safety of Canadian citizens,” he said.

All MPs will be free to vote according to their consciences rather than along party lines and senators will also be left to decide on their own once the bill reaches them. All 30 NDP members are expected to vote against capital punishment and the 40 Liberal members are considered unanimous in their opposition as well.

A6é THE BIG ONE: BELFAST — A Northern Ireland trawler was pulled backwards for 2% hours in the Irish Sea today after it caught a submarine in its nets, a Br h Defence Ministry spokesman said. A Royal Navy helicopter carrying depth charges flew to the scene, 18 nautical miles off the Northern Irish coast, after the coast guard received a distress signal. The submarine finally broke out of the trawler's nets. Trawlermen say they believe it was a British submarine that was caught in the nets of the Summer Morn but in London the Detense Minister denied that one of its subs was involved. Trawler skipper Eric Skully told other trawlermen by radio his vessel started travelling backwards at 3.5 knots. If the weather hod not been calm the trawler coutd have capsized. “These boats aren't made to be towed backwards,” he said.
