Attorney General
rejected advice
to charge Reid

VICTORIA (CP) -- The RCMP
recommended that breach of trust
charges be laid against former provin-
cial secretary Bill Reid over his han-
dling of lottery funds, but .it was
rejected by the Attorney General's
Ministry.

Bill Stewart, assistant deputy
minister in the ministry's criminal
justice branch, said Tuesday that
several senior lawyers from inside and
outside the ministry reviewed the
RCMP investigation into Reid.

“I made the decision that there was
not a substantial likelihood of convic-
tion if charges were laid,”’ said
Stewart.

The RCMP had recommended
charges be laid against Reid under
Section 122 of the Criminal
regarding breach of truge bya
officer.

—

Reid made the grants in his role as
minister fesponsible for the Growth
and Opportunities funds —- lottery
money handed out by the government
for community projects.

Stewart said the decision to not lay
charges prompted the RCMP to ask
fora further review by the deputy at-
torney general, The deputy attorney
general reviewed the case and agreed
with Stewart's assessment, said
Stewart.

Reid resigned his cabinet post last
fall after the incident involving the
recycling company.

A probe by’ comptroller general
Brian Marson found Reid’s actions
“‘irregular’’ and ‘‘improper.’’ After
the report was made public in
February, Attorney General Bud
Smith said an RCMP investigation of
the case was over and no criminal
charges would be laid.

NDP leader Mike Harcourt said

® Tuesday his party will lay its own

charges against Reid unless the gover-
nment acts by April 19.

The Year 2000, a provincial
government document outlining
the new school curriculum that is
being put into place this year at
the primary level, and the in-
novative teaching methods ad-
vocated by the new school system
were the focus of a recent West
Kootenay education conference in
Nelson, said Kinnaird Junior
secondary school principal Bruce
Gerrand.

About 600 teachers, ad-
ministrators and non-teaching
staff such as child-care workers
and teaching assistants attended
workshops on various aspects of
teaching within the new
curriculum and listened to Zach
Clements, a noted U.S. motivator
in education, Gerrand said.

Teachers at. one of the
workshops discussed self-directed
Jearning which Gerrand said lays
out a plan to allow students to
take charge of their own learning.

He said the process can be used
by young children if the child is
helped through each point of the
plan, which includes setting a goal
and determing what steps must
be carried out to reach that goal

““When you begin to teach how
to use the process the students will
be able to take their learning into
their own hands more and more,””
Gerrand said.

A workshop on the new family-
life program, formerly counselling
and sex education courses, was of
particular interest to him because
Kinnaird Junior will implement
the new program after spring
break, Gerrand said

Kinnaird Junior has had a
similar program at the Grade 8
level for some time and “‘it’s nice
to see the ministry* catching up
with what we've been doing,”’ he
said

At the secondary level, the
ministry's program deals with
teaching students to make
decisions and that they have a

Humor tactic in fight

By CasNews Staff

The Robson-Raspberry Ferry
Users Ad Hoc Committee is con-
tinuing its campaign of humor as
@ tactic in its fight to have the
Castlegar-Robson ferry put back
into service between the two
communities.

In-a recent tetter to Highways
Minister Rita Johnston, commit-
tee lawyer Terry Dalton offers
sympathy over the cancéllation of
the Polar 8 icebreaker project

The federal government an-
nounced the cancellation of the
project, which was to go to a
Lower Mainland company, when
the federal budget was tabled

“In a small way the people of
this community can empathize
with the Social Credit gover-
nment,’’ Dalton says in the letter.
“*We too have lost a vessel of the
marine service to financial
restraint unilaterally imposed by a
senior government. Like your-
selves we received no warning of
the cancellation; no opportunity
tO present sound, reasonable
arguments against the action

““thope that the federal gover-
nment will allow common sense to
prevail, and act swiftly to reverse
their decision,’’ Dalton continues.
“I hope you will be dealt with
dignity, not guile. I can only wish
that the government which you
must deal with will prove to be
more compassionate than ours."”

Poznikoff, who became president in a special
election held in February because the president at that
time had to leave, said after the meeting that the
student council brought up tuition increases in its own
meeting and solicited opinions from students

“*Some said it wasn’t fair but most said it wasn’t

VANCOUVER (CP) -- Health
Minister John Jansen says he is puz-
zled by the B.C. Medical
Association’s objection to having
doctors fees settled by the gover-
nment’s royal commission on health
care.

“I can’t understand what they're
talking about,”’ Jansen said Tuesday

“‘Doctors fees represent one-
quarter of the health care budget —-
they’re a pretty key element of the

News

In Castlegar provincial court,
Patricia Kay Smith pleaded guilty to
knowingly employing a person who
was not a Canadian citizen, did not
have landed immigrant status and had
no work permit. Smith was fined
$100 or, in default, sentenced to three
days in jail.

Thomas Floyd Stanfield pleaded
guilty to being illegally employed and
remaining in Canada without written
authority after he was no longer a
visitor. Stanfield was fined $100 for
each charge or, in default, sentenced
to six days in jail on each count, to be

more runs, and running the vessels of
a greater speed.

“The workers point out that vessels
are tied up at them ramps just to
maintain the schedule while traffic
backs up,’’ BCGEU president John
Shields says in a news release. ‘‘They
also say that the ferries are run slowly
to save on fuel costs.

“By running the vessels at close to
their rated speed, and by setting aside
the rigid schedule in favor of a shuttle
service, the existing ferries could carry
many more vehicles each day,”’
Shields adds. ‘‘All it would cost is a
little more for fuel.’”

The BCGEU also suggests
relocating the Shelter Bay terminal to
the east side of Bannock point, shor-
tening the Galena crossing by almost
a kilometre and requiring the con-
struction of a 200-metre section of
road.

The government’s plan to move the
Robson ferry up the takes to replace
the ‘Arrow Park ferry once the Rob-
son ferry is refurbished at Shelter Bay
will not result in any loss of jobs on
that run, said Arrow Park head
ferryworker Allan Hale. .

The existing eight-car ferry is a
cable vessel, as is the Robson ferry,
and the switch is planned because the
current ferry is unable to carry more
than one fully loaded logging truck at
a time, which results in the old vessel
being dangerously ‘‘lopsided,”” Hale
said.

The Arrow Park ferry carries
logging trucks and equipment for
logging and the small sawmill on the
west side of the lake. For the last three
years, there have been increasing
lineups at the ramps as hunters,
fishermen, mushroom pickers and
people interested in property in the
area wait to cross the lake, Hale said.

unfortunate the regional
district is blamed for a lot of things

“It seems rather that a
request for compliance with the
government process is interference,”
he said. ‘I certainly was genuinely
surprised to read of her (Moore's)
reaction to this matter. She had not
stated any such concern that preceded
the resolution which she now finds of-
jectionable.””

Wyllie noted that the implications
of the Célgar expansion go far beyond
the boundaries of Castlegar.

Among the concerns several people
have raised about the proposed ex-
pansion is the anticipated increase in
truck traffic down the Slocan Valley,
which is part of the Regional District
of Central Kootenay

Voykin said the regional district
board is concerned with the environ-

garding the ” Voykin
said. ‘‘We didn’t come up with the
three-stage review process and yet it
seems the regional district is the
culprit in the eyes of the public, that
(it’s the board who's) held the process
up."”

He said switching regional districts
is not a solution to any problems
Moore may have with the board.

“To be honest with you, I think
running away from a problem is not
solving it,’’ Voykin said. ‘‘I think that
if we do have a problem in our
regional district we should deal with
it.”

Voykin said he and Wyllie are

When the government announced
the $2-million, 18-month commission
last month, it suspended negotiations
with” the doctors, who have been
without a contract for a year.

Last week, association president
Dr. John Anderson said the B.C.
government was setting up the fee
dispute as a major election issue and
was ‘‘goading the BCMA into all-out
confrontation."

He asked Jansen to set up binding
arbitration as provided by the Canada
Health Act

The government has approved a 3.5
per cent annual fee increase retroac-
tive to last April 1, when the contract
expired. The doctors want an annual
increase of six per cent.
