a2 Castlégar News June 17, 1987 Johnson upset at non-smoking defeat BY SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer The out-going chairman of the Castlegar School Board lost a debate on “I feel somewhat discouraged to see some of you drag your feet on this. You have to take a stand one way or another. This is not any kind of lack of because we do it all the smoking in the p! Monday night at her last meeting. A motion by Kay Johnson to declare all of school district buildings and vehicles as non-smoking areas and to have forced ventilation in areas that cannot be made non-smoking failed with only herself voting in favor of it. While the majority of school trustees agreed with Johnson that the school time,” said Johnson. Pongracz said he resented that Johnson was suggesting “there's some kind of copout here.” In other news the school board voted to spend $7,900 on a stady to upgrade Stanley Humphries secondary school. Architect Robert Mansfield will car- ry out the study to determine where to the school district should have areas, they felt it should be up to i board's policy committee to make any recommendation. “We have been dealing with this particular issue since November. This has gone out to all of our schools and CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees)’ members and the majority feel the same way,” said Johnson. But trustee Rick Pongracz argued the policy committee should put forth some regulations “to see if this is workable.” Johnson said the board has passed several motions before which did not go through the policy committee. can be made. As well, the board will spend $7,400 to do study upgrading three elemen- tary schools, Robson, Tarrys and Twin Rivers, the oldest elementary schools in the district. The board managed to save $19,000 from the April 28 teachers’ one-day job action and the Ministry of Education now has informed the board that it can use the savings for the Fund for Ex- cellence in Education. “I presume you would agree that leaving the funds in the public school system, rather than crediting them back to the taxpayers, is a constructive KAY JOHNSON . lost debate approach,” Education Minister Tony Brummet said in a letter to all school board chairmen across the province. School board secretary-treasurer John Dascher said the board has man- aged to save another $25,000 as a result of teachers and other education- related personnel walking off the job during the one-day general strike June 1, but added that the board does not know if that savings can be used for the Excellesce in Education Fund. RALLY continued from front page determining what a safe country is? Well we don’t know, it’s not in the leg- islation.” Bristow said the federal cabinet will determine “safe” country.” He added that he feels uneasy about that because as far as cabinet is concerned, the United States is a safe country “Well it (United States) is if you're from Poland or Afghanistan, but what about if you're from Latin America where they're presently cracking down by fining employers who are caught employing ‘aliens,’ as they love to call them?” asked Bristow He added that the United States has a record of keeping only three per cent of the claimants from Latin America. In addition, Bristow told the crowd that American officials have told their Canadian counterparts they will not guarantee to keep immigrant appili- cants in the United States pending an appeal by Canadian immigration offi- cials. “That makes you wonder if the United States really is a safe country,” said Bristow. Castlegar Ald. Len Embree told the group Bill C-55 is a racist piece of legislation. “Whenever the Tory government introduces legislation with such racism and prejudice I have a tough time dealing with it,” Embree said. “The Kootenays has a long and honorable tradition of welcoming refugees start- ing with the Doukhobors years ago. I think there are ways to amend the bill and I think we should put some political pressure on it,” said Embree. After the demonstration, which lasted for about an hour, Bristow spoke with Brisco by telephone from Ottawa. While he said Brisco “did seem genuinely concerned,” Bristow was disappointed by some of Brisco's responses. “Being a member of the government party he felt it somewhat necessary to explain the reasons for the government decision. That bothered me because he seemed to be using economic reasons,” Bristow told the Castlegar News. He added that Brisco “seemed to be mssing the point.’ “I feel Canada should be offering refugees a place for a new life. It disturbed me when he said public opinion seems to be in favor of cracking down on refugees. I would hope he would inform his constituents on the real situation,” said Bristow. He added that if Brisco is worried “about the politics” of the bill “it’s bound to backfire on him.” Brisco was unavailable for comment.

The Ministry of Health suggests school boards should be concerned with whether an infected child can transmit that infection to classmates or staff and under what circumstances a transmis- sion can occur. “The diagnosis of AIDS or associated illnesses evokes fear and even panic in most persons in contact with the infected individual.

Now, Vancouver art consultants have proved it. A story in the weekend Vancouver Sun reports how Lower Mainland artists have started showing their works in restaurants and hair salons (they call them “pseudo galleries”). It's all part of a move to take the art gallery out to the public Of course, it's nothing new in Castlegar, which is at the vanguard of such major culture shifts. The Castlegar Arts Council has been staging its Presentation Series at the Homestead Soup and Sandwich Shoppe for a couple of years. CASTLEGAR natives keep popping up in The Vancouver Province’s Smile of the Day feature. That's the Province’s answer to a cheesecake shot without the cheesecake. Anyway, the June 10 issue featured a woman named “Donna.” The 26-year-old was born in Castlegar and works as a receptionist on the Lower Mainland. Her likes? Cars, and i ” Dislikes? Illness and rude people are reading and her favorite author is Sidney Sheldon. Favorite music? Rock 'n' roll, of course. “Donna” is the second Castlegar native in the Smile of the Day in. the last month. THE PROVINCIAL government has an offer B.C. airports can't refuse. Victoria is giving away the 80 aviation windsocks left over from Expo 86. The assembli include a 20-foot mast, together with a framework and lighted windsock. Eligible communities are those with public airports, heliports and floatplane bases. Just contact the B.C. Aviation Council in Richmond. The only catch is the communities will have to construct an “acceptable” mounting base in an approved location before a windsock assembly is shipped. GOT ANY interesting photographs of Castlegar? The Castlegar Chamber of Commerce would like to see them. The chamber is assembling a number -of photo albums to show visitors and potential investors.

The photos will be used to promote Castlegar area facilities. continued from front page offices, recoup inflation losses through annual postal increases and substitute group boxes for home delivery in new subdivisions. The last postal strike — by inside workers — occurred in 1981. The carriers, traditionally the least militant of the postal unions, last walked out nationally in 1968. Witnesses to the Edmonton confrontation said about 100 strikers linked arms in an attempt to prevent a mail truck from entering the plant. Two of the strikers were later treated by an ambulance crew Brett Donaldson, president of the letter carriers’ Local 16 in Edmonton, said one picket was restrained in a choke hold and the union plans to complain about what he called a police assault Police refused to say if the striker taken into custody would be charged ; After the confrontation, the strikers restricted themselves to shouting and milling around the gate as more trucks began moving in and out. They were later joined on the picket line by Dave Werlin, president of the Alberta Federation of labor. Meanwhile, pickets went up at the main processing plant in Victoria where mail is processed for all of Vancouver Island. FEARS TROUBLE Union spokesman Jacques Desjardins said in Ottawa there were no immediate reports of violence but he feared trouble might occur when replacements were brought in by Canada Post Carriers would probably remain off the job for the full day in all four centres affected today but workers were expected to go back in Antigonish, N.S., if the post office did not lock them out, he added Desjardins estimated 5,000 carriers were off the job nationally and said the figure could grow before the day was over “We'll see. You'll know if it happens,” he added. Meanwhile, Canada Post reported an overwhelming response to a national advertising campaign to recruit strikebreakers. About twice as many as the agency would probably need had applied for work, officials said. Strikebreaker is considered a pejorative term by employers, while unions argue that it is too mild and prefer to use the term scab. The post office calls its non-union recruits replacements but admits they are being used in an attempt to thwart the strike.
