A new partnership

Premier Bill Bennett's
televised speech to the province
Monday night was, if nothing else,
timely. It came exactly three years
after he announced the “new
economic reality” of restraint.

Apparently, he and his gover-
nment have abandoned that reality
tor a better version, judging from
Monday's speech.

Monday's talk focused on
renewal. The tone was upbeat and
optimistic even Mr. Bennett
looked refreshed and lively. That is
in marked contrast to the 1982
speech which was filled with
gloomy announcements of belt-
tightening measures.

Mr. Bennett has obviously
seen the light — and the light is
shining on Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney and the Progressive
Conservative government.

It seems Mr. Bennett has be
so impressed by the way the
federal Conservatives have been
running the country, he has taken
@ page out of the Tory handbook.
Now, instead of iT t and cut-

way the province can recover from
this recession is with the co-
operation of all levels of gover-
nment and all sectors of the

— including bi and

labor.

In that respect, Mr. Bennett's
speech Monday hit{' the nail
squarely on the head.

Unfortunately, what he says
and what his government has been
doing, doesn't always mesh. Take,
for instance, Victoria's relations
with school boards across the
province. The relations are
strained at best.

But why are they strained? It's
because the province has removed
school board authority. In its place
the province has simply laid down
the law and instructed the school
districts to tollow that law to the
letter.

Is that partnership? Is that the
way one partner treats another

partner?

Partnership involves discus-
sion, debate — even at times
arg It requires co-

backs, he is st 9 co-op’

and conciliation.

and partnership.

In fact, Mr. Bennett calls his
new program a “program of par-
tnership.” It's also a program local
levels of government have been
trying to put in place for the last
three years.

There's no doubt that the only

In the next few months British
Columbians will have the chance to
see if Mr. Bennett is really serious
about this new partnership, or it he
was simply mouthing platitudes
on Monday night.

For the sake of Castlegar and
all B.C., we hope it's the former.

Just a numbers game

Editor, Castlegar News:

l agree with S.W. Webster (Feb. 16
letter to the Editor) that the public
should be more informed on edue: m
matters. However, providing statis
tical information only, as his letter
suggested, will not allow them to make
wise judgments on adequate funding or
wise administration.

What is being suggested, is that the
public play the numbers game of Mr.
Heinrich, who has stated he wants a
19-1 pupil/teacher ratio (PTR) in B.C.
schools. local board recently an-
nounced 2450,000 would have to be cut
to meet the 1985-86 budget. A massive
cut such as this could be met by re.
ducing the teaching staff by up to as
many as 20 teachers. The 143 Castlegar
teachers would become 123 and the re-
sulting PTR would be (2,366 students
divided by 123 teachers) 19.23 to one.
What a coincidence.

But what does PTR really mean?
Let's play a numbers game with an
elementary school that has 230 stu
dents in eight regular classes. This
translates into a PTR of (230 divided by
eight) 28.75. But I have 30 in my class.
The principal doesn't teach but is
counted for PTR, which is now (230
divided by nine) 25.55.

There is also .8 of a librarian bring.
ing the PTR to (230 divided by 9.8) 23.
The school also houses primary and
intermediate individual progress
classes for those who can't manage a
regular class. The PTR drops to (230
divided by 11.8) 19.49.

There is also a Learning Assistance
eacher to provide programs for those
who can be up to three or four years
below their peers in reading level. The
PTR now calculates into 17.96 (230
divided by 13.8)

This school also provides an ex
program. As well, the
vachers have negotiated preparation
ime and second languages are taught
About 8 of a teacher covers this time
bringing ghe PTR to (230 divided by
13.6) 16.91. The school may make use of

class or English as a second language
This results in a final school PTR of
(230 divided by 13.9) 16.55 which is the
present PTR of the district but I still
have 30 students in my class.
Education can't be evaluated by
looking at statistics only, but by ex
amining programs to see if they meet
the needs of today’s students in a
changing society. As I added in each
teacher, I added in a program — not a
number. Education involves people not
numbers. But Mr. Heinrich, I would
love to have a class of 19.

Cruise ‘a
hostile act’

Editor, Castlegar News:

I hereby wish to join many other
voices of protest against testing of
American cruise missiles in Canada.
This is an unjustifiable hostile act
against another country provoking the
arms race and threat of nuclear war,
which could be avoided by establishing
cordial and friendly relations between
countries concerned. This is a more
sane and Christian way to obtain peace
and security for Canada and the rest of
the world.

Testing of American cruise missiles
in Canada is an attempt by the Reagan
administration to move the future
theatre of war to other countries’ ter.
ritories, as far away as possible from
the American soil.

I also protest against infiltration of
American pornography, where sex,
violence and brutalization of women is
depicted (on The Journal Feb. 15,
1985).

Testing of cruise missiles and por.
nography is the real focus of evil that
Americans sometimes like to talk

ly. this is
interesting in light of the “Let's Talk
About Schools” process, which is not
yet completed. The new Public Schools
Act was to be written with input from
all and sundry. One of the critical areas
to be examined was the funding of
public schools. However, it now
appears that funding is already decided
and the exercise is, after all, just
window dressing.

Trustees who lent their time and
credibility to Let's Talk About Schools
might be forgiven for feeling a touch

damaging to us. Instead, it is time we
gave them the opportunity to experi
ence the reality of porn.

First, we will flood the market with
films that show men enjoying chains,
whips and forced performance. Titles
like, Naughty Chaps, The Boys in the
Locker Room, Sex-Starved Lads and
Jim, John and Ratph Are Red Hot, are
sure to be inistant money-makers.

Jim, John, Ralph and all the other
naughty, red-hot boys will be shown
sitting, lying, chained or tied up while
women stand over them. The men will
be naked while the superior women
will initially remain clothed. Better yet,
the women will rip the men’s clothes
off, preferably at knifepoint.

The women will be threatening and
powerful; the men submissive and
weak. The men will plead or protest in
agonized-yet-sexy voices, while the
women assure them they'll enjoy being
battered, bruised and tortured. The
top money-maker will be a snuff movie,
at the end of which Jim or John or
Ralph — or all three — will be mur.
dered at the moment of orgasm.

Now for magazines. The soft-core
stuff will merely show naked men
fingering their genitals, or baring their
buttocks to the camera while smiling
brightly. The hard-core material will
give us pictures of submissive, fright

terror, which the brutalized men, of
course, enjoy. Newsstand owners will
be delighted as women line up to

In order for all this to be truly
effective, it has to be so pervasive that
it seems normal for men to be treated
as mindless objects. The advertising
industry will have to fall in line. Men in
bikini briefs and low-cut tight jeans will
sell deodorant, cars and socks. They
can say cute things like, “I'm a slave to

“Jock socks stay up longer,” or, flexing
their bare muscles, “Come on down to
Alice’s Used Cars.”

But what if men complain? What if
they say that the films, magazines and
advertising are degrading? Never fear,
women know what to say.

“You're being too emotional” does
nicely for starters. “You're such a
prude” is a good follow up. “You're
taking it all too personally” is another
dandy. The ultimate squeicher is:
“What? All this good sexy stuff doesn't

privacy of their own homes. If you
don't like the stuff, don’t look at it. Be-

Any holdouts will be convinced when
I say, “You're over-reacting. Most
porn is good, harmless fun and gives
women an outlet for their sexual fan-
tasies. Sure, there are a few women
who get off on violence towards men,
but they're in the minority. The rest of
us are just having fun. Besides, porn
flicks at doe parties are traditional.”

I don’t have time to finish this; I have
a busy day. First, I have to interview
Jim, John and Ralph. Then I must buy

great signifi : is
to my concept, they both miss the main
and simple issue of how to rectify the
problem of unemployment, and relieve
the deficit that is driving more and
more people to soup kitchens.

Bill Zanders missed this important
point in his “Open Letter to the Prime
Minister,” (On the Level, January
1985). Yet it would be the simplist and
easiest method in the right direction
toward correcting the problem of
unemployment and liquidating the
deficit without hurting a single human
being.

The article entitled “Smoking, Bad
Diets Cause Cancer Deaths”, by Steve
Kerstetter of the Canadian Press is
extremely informative about the haz-
ards of smoking tobacco. He also
states, “perhaps $6-million a year is
spent by governments and outside
agencies on anti-smoking campaigns.”
That's a pittance compared with the
estimated $100 million a year that the
tobacco industry spends on advertising
and promotion.

“Tobacco is probably the only
hazardous consumer product in wide-
spread use that isn't closely regulated
by any level of government .

The $100 million a year could sure
improve the quality of the soup in soup
kitchens, yet it is spent for satanic
advertising of tobacco alone. Suppose
we add to this the billions of dollars
that are spent on advertising and
promoting the use of alcohol.

No one seems to realize that these
billions that are spent for moral and
physical destruction of the people
(especially our youth) could be diverted
to humane programs.

We are living in a supposedly
Christian hemisphere, so surely we can
insist on the banning of all satanic

that the world politicians
have gone so far down the road to Hell,
that humane thoughts cannot even
enter their minds anymore. As our
good Lord states, “Father, forgive
them; for they do not know what they
are doing.”

It is up to true Christians to keep
reminding and directing them toward
the road to salvation in order to keep
us all off the road to complete
annihilation.
