The program provides needed personal and academic counselling for women, as well as workshops covering subjects like assertiveness training and communication, said Deb Thomas, a Selkirk staff representative for the m. Cutting the Women's Access Pro- gram came about as part of a $400,000 reduction in the college's adminstration department said the college's dean of program services. “We had to cut back on some . . . (and) the only option in Access was cutting a cou- nsellor,” said Richard Hallett. He said the total cost of the program is about $38,000 which includes the salary of the sole coun- sellor/co-ordinator, Vita Storey. In the 1988-84 school year, the Ministry of Education paid $10,000 of the program's cost, while the college picked up the balance. When the program first started in 1981-1983, the ministry paid $10,000 of the total cost, and $15,000 the year after. . In 1984-1985 the college was expegted to foot the entire bill — something that the college is unable to do because of budget restrictions, said Hallett. He said the college decided a year ago to continue the program at a 50 per cent level only if enough funding was available. Hallett said the program — primarily intended to provide support and encouragement for women already taking classes or planning to enrol in the college — has done “some good.” But he added that it serves only a small part of the student i the need for a Women's Program.” When deciding on what areas were to be cut, Hallett said the college placed priorities on things “essential to the college” affecting “all people.” But Thomas said the program is Access “It's had strong support from a proportion of the college, but a fair amount of the college is not sup portive,” he said. “Not all women are convinced of Capital approved By CasNews Staff A capital budget of $150,100— $47,000 of which wil] go to a handicapped chairlift at Stanley Hum- pbries Secondary School—was app- roved for the Castlegar school board May 2. The 1964-85 budget, | officially approved by the Ministry of Education, also includes $82,600 for roof re- placements at Robson and Tarrys elementary schools, $40,700 for an already-purchased computer for the board office, and $29,000 for minor renovations in the school district, according to secretary-treasurer John Dascher. The chairlift will “run from the basement to the second floor (of Stanley Humphries) for a handicapped student expected to arrive in Septem- ber, of 1965," said Dascher. — The student is now a Grade 7 elementary school pupil attending needed, because the co ordinator is the only female counsellor in the Selkirk College system, now that the David Thompson University Centre has been closed. continued on page A2 budget for board school in the district and uses a walker. Without the lift he “wouldn't be able to manoevre” at the high school, explained Dascher. He added that “three of four years down the road” more handicapped pupils from local elementary schools will be attending Stanley Humphries, and will make use of the lift. The computer at the school board office is used for administrative purposes, such as accounts and pay- rolis, said Dascher. And the minor renovations bud geted for 1984-85 haven't yet been decided upon, he said. The amount allotted for the capital budget is down nearly $18,000 from The board's operating budget for 1964, released lest February, was Operation Solidarity to fight the Social Credit government's proposed changes to the Labor Code, labor leaders said Friday. “This is the last doublecross,” said Jack Gerow of the Hospital Employees Union, who accused Bennett of seeking “the de-unionization of British Colum bia.” He added that provincial trade unions have no alternative but to re- activate Operation Solidarity. Gerow said the unions must develop a plan of militant resistance to fight legislation that has “stripped away the rights of working people.” He did not rule out “escalating militant action to the point of a general strike.” Gerow was one of 20 labor leaders who met with 15 of 22 New Democratic Party members of the legislature to plan strategy to oppose the bill amending the labor code that is cur rently before the legislature. He said Bennett has been double. crossing labor since Solidarity ended its series of escalating strikes in November with an agreement between labor leader Jack Munro and Bennett. Labor Minister Bob McClelland scof. fed at the threat of a general strike saying that responsible leaders would not recommend such action. He noted more than 300 briefs plus labor's submissions were considered before the labor code amendments were presented to the legislature this week. CHANGES OUTLINED These changes would allow the cabinet’ to declare special projects like Expo 86 as economic development projects open to all contractors and workers. They would also restrict secondary picketing, make it easier to decertify a union local and make political strikes illegal. There is also provision to de certify a company that has been-dor- mant for two years and allow certifica- tion for a single project if 55 per cent of the “employees concur. Roy Gautier, president of the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Counci concerned the changes will sharply reduce the membership in his member unions. He said there are “several thousand” contractors in the province who will be permitted to decertify under the two-year clause because of the current economic situation. Gautier said the changes will “break down the organized construction indus- try as we know it — if we don't fight all the way.” Operation Solidarity is coalition of unions that banded together last sum mer to protest the budget and related legislation brought down last summer by the Social Credit government. It launched a series of escalating strikes that brought the province to the brink of a general strike. . ~Soceer field closed if ‘The Kiwanis sotcer field ha’ been closed for the rest of this season and thay be closed through 1985, Ald. Bob MacBain said this week. MacBain, parks and recreation committee chairman, told Castlegar council that thé city’s soccer teams will not play on the field. in its current condition. The field is covered with several inches of sand. City crews dumped the sand on the turf to try to correct problems with the field. However, recreation director Pat Metge said he thought crews were only going to place sand in the field's low lying areas. When the city sanded and levelled the field, it made it ¢ompletely unplayable, he said. Metge said he and new city superintendent George Reshaur plan to inspect the field and, see what measures must be taken to get it into shape again. The field has been plagued from the very beginning with drainage problems because it is largely a clay base, Metge noted. He said the clay base also seemed to cause the grass seed to wash away so that grass grew only in small tufts, making the field “very tough”. Metge said thete is still the possibility that grass will grow up through the sand, making the field playable again. MacBain told council the sanding was not “too successful,” though with a rest, the field “may salvage itself.” MacBain said his committee plan- ned to wait until the beginning of next season to see the results of the sanding. However, Mayor Audrdy Moore questioned if the field will be out of use for two seasons, and asked if major repairs won't be started this year. City clerk Ron Skillings suggested that Reshaur and Metge inspect the field and undertake further.testing to determine just how bad the soil before going ahead with any major ren- ovations. “There's no use putting a lot of money out for something that isn't going to be satisfactory,” noted Mac- Bain. Meanwhile, the soccer teams will play on school fields and have received permission to use the Selkirk College field. The college requested that the city cut the grass at the field.” In other news, the city has closed one court at the north Castlegar tennis courts and will move the practise board to one of the useable courts. $8,874,036, an surplus from 1983 of $230,000. said he hasn't yet had a chance to meet with RCMP Staff Sgt. John Stevens to develop an anti-vandalism plan. MacBain said he spoke with Stevens over the telephone and will meet with him. MacBain noted the city plans to appeal to community parents to discuss with their children the vandalism problem and will ask for co-operation from the public. MacBain said the city doesn't expect residents to personally inter- vene with vandals, but said residents are asked to report to police any vandalism. MacBain also said the city is looking at seeking civil suits against the parents of young people caught for vandalism. However, he said the city will have to take a long look at it and seek advice from the city solicitor on the legality of the suits. “I hope we wouldn't be forced into something like that,” he added. In the meantime, the recreation commission plans to send letters to all user groups, informing them of the problem and asking them to keep an eye out for vandalism.
