“The only people'who can defend public education are

the consumers of it:

students, businessmen who

want to hire (students) afterwards,” said Joy Leach in an
interview.

She said teachers who attack budget cuts as harming
the quality of education are usually preceived by the public
as saying to “defend their own interests.”

Leach said it's up to the public to speak to MLAs and
school trustees about their education concerns.

She was in Castlegar March 10 attending an annual
meeting of the West Kootenay branch of the BCSTA.

School trustees are “generally very frustrated” at de-
creased education funding, said Leach.

Although trustees “understand what the government is
trying to do in terms of cost,” she said they believe the goals
of public education are being overlooked.

“What we (trustees) want is to ensure what's provided

Students do
well on grade
12 exams

By CasNews Staff

Grade 12 students at Stanley Humphries Secondary
School made a “solid” showing on their provincial exams,
said principal Lach Farrell.

Only 6.25 per cent of the 288 Grade 12 students
writing the January provineial exams failed them — a
93.75 success rate.

On 19,000 standardized exams written province-
wide, 11.7 per cent received failing grades. (The failure
rate, originally 16.7, was sealed up by the government.)

Farrell said he didn't know if the failure rate for
provincial exams at Stanley Humphries had been scaled
up.

The provincial exams make up 50 per cent of the final
grade. School course marks make up the other 50 per
cent.

At Stanley Humphries, 10.76 per cent of the students
got failing grades for theis school course marks.

Following the exams, it was determined 11 out of 288

urday between the British
Columbia pulp industry and
its two uniohs. Talks re-
sumed Friday after a two-
week break.

The 13,000-memberb of the
Canadian Paperworkers
Union and the Pulp, Paper
and Woodworkers of Canada
were locked out at the be-
ginning of February, after
the industry accused the
unions of dragging their feet
in negotiations.

Previous contract expired
last June.

The unions broke off talks
March 2 when industry neg-
otiators rejected the union's
proposal for a three-year
agreement.

Management balked at a
demand by the unions for
some protection in the second
and third years of the con-
tract, which the industry said
would make it a better deal

About 10,000 woodworkers
are off the job | because of of the

dispute.

Some were laid off when
sawmills could no longer ac-

mills. Others were put on the

Labor Minister Bob Mc-
Clelland said Wednesday the
provincial government is pre-
pared to step into the dispute
if the lockout does not end

McClelland said he met re-
cently with both labor and
management, and he senses
“an attitude for a settlement

Castlegar council recommended this
week that the owners of the Hi Arrow
Shopping Mall and Castleaird Plaza
undertake a joint traffic study of their
commerical area with an eye to even-
tually amalgamating the two shopping
areas.

Ald. Bob MacBain said the traffic
study was suggested because there has
been some concern about traffic trav.

~ elling between the mall and the plaza.

MacBain also confirmed that there
have been inquiries about closing 18th
St. to traffic.

Delcan Consultants, a traffic study
group, has already asked the city for
information about the area. The group
plans to make a proposal to the city for
a long-term traffic arrangement for the
Hi Arrow Mall and surrounding area.

Elsewhere, the city has given
approval in principle for the construc-
tion of four new tennis courts on the
Old Arena property.

City staff will investigate and report
on the cost of the project.

The city will also be putting out park
playground equipment_and_picnic_ta-
bles as soon as possible about a month
earlier than last year.

Meanwhile, city realtors have ap-
proached council about helping out
with city beautification.

The parks and recreation committee
suggested the realtors consider a
beautification project around the Com-
munity Complex or clean-up around the
Rota Villa.

“All the realtors in the area would
like to get together to do some beauti-
fication to the city,” explained com.
mittee chairman Ald. Bob MacBain.

Council recommends
mall traffic study

ALD. BOB MacBAIN
. ‘Some concern’

He said the realtors are prepared to
start April 1.

“I thought it was tremendous that
people should come out and volunteer,”
he noted.

Couneil is also going to apply for
another summer works grant to
employ two students to continue work
on Zuckerberg Island.

Building permit values are far out-
pacing last year's total. The value of
building permits issued in the first two
months of this year totalled $661,800 —
more than double the amount for the
same time last year.

February showed a marked increase
— from $86,000 last year to nearly
$257,000 this year.

Mr. Samarodin was born
March 24, 1900, in Buchanan,
Sask. In 1909 he came to B.C.
with his parents, settling in
Ootischenia. In 1920, he
married Martha Poohachoff.
They moved to Castlegar in
1956.

During his life Mr. Samar.
odin worked in the logging
industry. At the age of 12 he
developed a love of horses,
and logged with horses for
many years.

And at meeting of the
board Monday, Richard Dod

According to school dis
trict superintendent Terry

Rogers and Gerrard is an ex.

of encouraging administrator

Phipps was transferred as

dates in the next federal
election squared off this
week over a federal works
program.

Bob Brisco, former Koot-
enay West MP and Progres
sive Conservative candidate,
started things off when he
“expressed regret” in a pre-
pared release that there have
been no applications from the
local riding for funding under
the federal Special Recovery
Capital Projects Program.

That prompted Kootenay
West NDP MP Lyle Kris-
tiansen to respond-that Bris-
co's “been duped

Brisco said, “Apparently
no information has been
provided on this program by
Lyle Kristiansen.”

He also stated that to
gether with his colleagues in
the B.C. caucus, federal pro-
grams are being monitored
and in consultation with MP
Tom Siddon (Richmond-Del.
ta) the matter was raised in
the House of Commons on
March 9.

Brisco said the SRCCP is
designated to assist funding
of major capital projects
specifically in areas of high
unemployment.

He said that $150 million
has been earmarked for B.C.,
none of which has come to
Kootenay West, which has
the highest unemployment
rate in the province at 24 per
cent.

“It is vital that applications
for funding for major capital
projects be put in the hands
of the federal government
immediately and we must
pray that it is not already too
late.”

Brisco added that he will
be contacting the mayors of
Castlegar, Nelson and Trail

_ Kristiansen
e off on grants

“to urge them to come for:
ward with eligible capital
projects, like for example,
Nelson's Waterfront Devel.
opment Program.”

But Kristiansen said in a
telephone interview from his
Ottawa office, “Like his col
league Tom Siddon, Bob's
been duped.”

He said Brisco's sugges
tions “are quite irrelevant.”

Kristiansen noted that the
program was announced in
the April 1983 federal budget
and basically took previous
applications “off the shelf.”

“There was never any
money for privately-sponsor-.
ed projects,” Kristiansen
said. “There was never a re
quest for input from the
community

“It was basically in-house
programs,” Kristiansen
added, saying the program
was intended to speed up
federal projects already on
the drawing board.

He added that recommen.
dations were all made
through government depart
ments.

Dorothy

Kristiansen said projects
receiving funding under the
program include coast guard
vessel acquisitions, develop:
ment of national ports, na
tional park development and
highway developments. ;

“They're not programs of a
nature of community initia
tive.”

He said the West Trail ap-
proach might have qualified
if work on it hadn't already
started

Similarly, he said the $6
million expansion of the
Castlegar airport terminal
could have been included in
the program, if it wasn't al
ready going ahead.

Bob thinks he's
going to give us an ocean
port, it’s not the kind of thing
we're likely to benefit from

‘I've got nothing to apol
ogize for,” Kristiansen added.

Brisco represented Koot
enay West from 1974 to 1979
and will face Kristiansen for
the third time in the next
election. Brisco beat Kris.
tiansen in 1979, while Kris
tiansen topped Brisco in 1980.
