However, the budget must still be approved by the Education Ministry. Smecher said she has “no problem with submitting a needs budget” despite reservations earlier in the year. “If this is the way the majority of the boards are going Mathieson to resign seat ALD. MARILYN MATHIESON~~ on the move By RON NORMAN Editor Ald. Marilyn Mathieson will be resigning her seat on Castlegar council, the Castlegar News has learned. How- ever, just when Mathieson will step down isn't known yet Mathieson confirmed in an interview Tuesday that she and her family will be moving to Vancouver as a result of her husband Stewart Mathieson’s transfer. Her husband works at Cominco in Trail but has been appointed general manager of human resources in the company’s metals division in Van couver. Mathieson said the appointment will be officially announced at Cominco's annual general meeting April 19 in Vancouver, but no date for the transfer has been set “So we really don't know when we're on our way,” Mathieson said, adding that she suspects the family will move this summer In any case, city clerk Ron Skillings said a byelection to fill the vacancy may not be necessary “It depends on when she leaves,” Skillings explained. He said council normally tries to leave the position vacant until the November general elections. However, the Municipal Act requires council to hold an election within 45 days of when the vacancy occurs. Council may leave the position vacant until the annual general election only if the vacancy occurs after July 1 in the last year of the member's term Mathieson was re-elected last Nov ember and is in the first year of a two-year term. Sex trial in limbo NELSON (CP) — The twice-delayed child-sex trial of the suspended chief of the Selkirk Health Unit was thrown into limbo Monday when the accused man failed to appear. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Dr. Robert Terrance Pagan, charged with eight counts of sexual assault, indecent assault and gross indecency involving three girls, aged five, seven and 10. Pagan's trial was to have begun Monday, but the jury could not be selected because he failed to appear. Defence lawyer Thomas Hara said he contacted Pagan last week to arrange a Sunday meeting. but Pagan did not show up.

Smecher added that if the board had complied with the $8,312,169 budget originally set by the ministry, “we won't have enough money to provide education for the school district.” The needs budget “basically returns everything to 1984 levels” of funding, said John Dascher, district secretary- treasurer. While a breakdown of how the needs budget will be spent isn’t available, it restores the following cuts made in the 1985 six-month budget: $23,000 from the firing of 18 lunch-hour supervisors; bout $11,000 from custodian retirees’ positions which were to be reposted at seven rather than eight hours; © $4,000 cut from Pi day, supplies; . $3,000 to $4,000 saved by contracting out special rather than position; The 1985-86 needs budget is about $220,000 more than the actual 1984 operating budget of $8,753,151, but Dascher said “the majority” of the diff ing a full-time HERE'S HOW Richard Hallman, ticulturist, shows proper way to prune fruit trees as in- terested residents look on.

Colderbank RALLY TOLD School scenerio d By CasNews Staff Question: Is there a future for children with a B.C. education? Answer: Maybe. But the picture isn’t rosy. About 250 concerned West Kootenay residents met in Castlegar Sunday to rally against education cutbacks and listen to speakers address the above question. They were presented with a dismal scenario of pubiie school and post-secondary education systems bat tered by the B.C. government's re. traint program Speakers included Pat Clarke, presi dent of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, Jack Finnbogason, president of the College-Institute Educators’ Associa tion of B.C, Nelson Ald. Peter Dodge, MLA Lorne Nicolson (New Democrat — Nelson-Creston), and Chris Taulu, provincial parent co-ordinator Participants at the meeting unani mously passed a resolution to “en courage and support” school boards tc submit budgets based on need for the 1985-86 school year. Another resolution which was passed urged the provincial government to repeal Bill 48, which gives school boards the option of holding a public referendum on raising taxes to give school districts funding above what the government provides. Other resolutions passed included e that the provincial government “restore autonomy to local school boards so they can determine and develop budgets based on the educa tional needs of their districts,” the supply e that government PAT CLARKE terrible’ cost adequate funding to meet educational needs as determined by school boards: @ that the meeting’s participants urge the government to withdraw the fine imposed on the Delta school board for exceeding its six-month budget; © that a Ministry of Education pri- ority be reopening David Thompson University Centre in Nelson, and “a full ismal restoration of its former funding;” @ that full funding be returned to all Selkirk College courses. HARDEST HIT Post-secondary education in the West Kootenay has been hit harder by underfunding than any other region in B.C., said Finnbogason. He said post-secondary education in Nelson and Castlegar was cut from $14 million to $9 million from 1982 to 1985, and pointed out that Selkirk College faculty was reduced from 132 to 86 during the past three years. “These are the constituents for the new reality for post-secondary educa tion in the West Kootenay,” Finnboga son said. Underfunding and corresponding plummetting enrolments have made the province one of the most back wards in Canada in terms of post-sec ondary education, he said Finnbogason said that B.C. had the fifth highest post-secondary enrolment rate in Canada in 1982, and the seventh highest university enrolment In 1983-84, B.C. dropped to eighth and ninth place, respectively Finnbogason also said the notion that Most post-secondary education funding comes from Victoria is “a myth. He quoted the following figures from the federal Ministry of Finance: in 1982-83 the B.C. budget for post-sec ondary funding was $575 million. Of this, $420 million was provided by the federal governnient, and $155 million by the B.C. government continued on poge A2 is made up by projected increases in teachers’ wages through increments, certifi- cation changes and arbitrated pay raises. Lisa Pedrini, vice-president of the Castlegar District Teachers’ Association, said teachers are “pleased with the board's decision to put in a needs budget.” She said discussions between teachers and the board “did have some influence” on the board's decision, but added “I would credit the parents with being the major 4 Sections (A, B, C&D) udget influecne”—city recent parent group briefs presented to the board last week urging a needs budget, and a major rally ing education advised it that “there's ney nothing wrong with sending in a needs budge’ However, after pnt B.C. school board submis- sions, the education minister may send board directives to follow ministry budget guidelines. These directives, under. the Education Interim Finance Act, are legally binding. “That's fairly p her, “but I think if enough boards in the province send in a neéds budget, (Heinrich) will have to take a look at what's going on, and what's being said . . . There will be 75 boards saying the. same thing — there's not enough money.” City sells industrial park lot By CasNews Staff Castlegar council has reached an agreement to sell one of its lots in the Industrial Park to a local nursery. Chang’s Nursery Ltd., 2607 9th Ave., will buy a lot for $33,000. However, the nursery will receive a $3,000 rebate if it completes construction of its building before April 30, 1986. The lot is only the second sold by the city. Castlegar Animal Hospital bought and built on the other lot. However, the city has received a ter by the Castlegar Chamber of Com- merce requesting a customs officer be located in Castlegar. . In a March 5 letter to Employment and Immigration Canada, chamber spokesman Nick Chernoff says Castle- gar would be “an ideal location for a customs officer.” “Because we are the port entry for air flights, and do have boat access, it seems only feasible that this proposal be considered,” Chernoff writes. He says boaters, golfers and tourists have d that C. is the $159, 000 federal grant to a a third lot. It plans to lease. —buil the building to an as yet unidentified tenant. In other council news, negotiations with the city’s inside and outside workers is continuing. City admin- istrator Dave Gairns said he met with central port, but that they have to wait bad a customs officer travels to Castlegar. Chernoff called the wait “frustrat- ing.” He added that the lack of boat moor- ing at Waneta customs has been a the union bargaining rep last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and will meet again this Friday and Tuesday. Asked if he is “positive” about the negotiations, Gairns replied: “Yes.” However, he declined to comment further. Ald. Carl Henne added, “We're still talking. Everything’s going smoothly.” The workers are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Meanwhile, council gave First City Development Corp. Ltd. a one-year ex tension on its development permit for property on Columbia Avenue. However, the Vancouver-based de velopment company will have to pay any legal costs required to extend the permit. The company plans to con struct a shopping mall on the site. Elsewhere, council supported a let ference in Castlegar.

The city will contact regional am. bulance manager Al Rydholm advising him of “the seriousness of this matter” and request that he consider returning the pagers to the unit.
