Members of the Central
Kootenay Union Board of
Health argued Thursday
night about whether the 25-

Another board member
agreed, saying that because
there's too many on the
board, there isn't enough
work for each individual.
This means board members
will lose interest, he said.

However, chairperson Ju-

to keep an interest

The board voted to contact
the Ministry of Health to
inquire about the size of
boards for amalgamated
health units in B.C.

Chief public health inspec-
tor Mike Harnadek cautioned
members to be wary of a
reduction in the board which
could diminish it's powers,
adding “I would strongly
recommend that you serious-
ly, seriously think about
what you're doing.”

Should the speech pathol
ogist at the Central Kootenay
Health Unit in Trail take to
the road?

Board member Grace Ter-
ness made the suggestion at
the annual general meeting
of the CKUBH Thursday,
saying it would be more
convenient for the parents of
nine children regularly visit-
ing the clinic to have the
speech pathologist come to
their homes.

But board secretary Dr.
Monty Arnott disagreed. Ar-
nott, who's also director of
the health unit, said the

speech pathologist needs to
work from the health unit to
be effective, because that's
where her equipment and
support are.

The controlled environ
ment of the health unit is
better than working in pri-
vate homes, he said, adding
that having the speech path-
ologist make house calls is
like asking a surgeon to
perform operations in peo-
ple’s homes.

“It's a very intensive type
of therapy and it can't be
given out in another area,”
said Arnott.

ABORTION

continued trom tront pege
the abortion machine was returned.
Martin said Demers will appear in
Nelson provincial court May 1 to face
charges of theft, mischief and posses-
sion of stolen property.

Besides a possible jail term, if
eonvicted Demers, may have to pay for
the new machine, “It's up to the court,”
said Martin, “but we will obviously ask
for restitution if he is found guilty.”

Miller said there is no restitution the

hospital's insurance may cover the cost
of the new machine.

Although Demers — unavailable for
comment Thursday — allegedly acted
as a member of the Nelson Future Life
anti-abortion group, Miller said he
doesn’t think the group condones the
illegal protest.

Miller added that he hasn't had any
communication with Nelson Future
Life following the protest, and there
haven't been any further vandalism
attempts at the hospital.

HEALTH BOARD

continued trom front page
Nelson residents for two years — was
closed for health reasons, she said.

But both health inspector Mike
Harnadek and Dr. Monty Arnott,
director of the Central Kootenay
Health Unit, said they were unaware of
the closure.

The board member pointed out the
kitchen services between 85 and 100
people a week and added: I would
certainly hope it wouldn't close down.
There has been no epidemic through
the soup kitchen, certainly.”

She said the vtenerASs apparently
closed because the soup|was prepared
at the homes of volunteers. Harnadek
said it may have been closed because a
health inspector would have no way of
monitoring food prepared in private
homes.

The board passed a motion to have
both Arnott and Harnadek investigate
the situation, and see if there was any
way to be “flexible” and keep the
kitchen open, while still conforming to
Health Act regulations.

best therapy for the child.
That's where we're coming
from time and time again.”

Another board member
agreed with Terness, saying
that he thought it would be
“more effective" for the
speech pathologist to visit
the homes of nine children,
rather than having 18 par-
ents involved in transporting
their children to the clinic.

“You have to produce
results,” he said. “If it doesn't
produce results, you have to
change.”

Arnott said in an interview
that. a consultant from Vic-
toria with a PhD in speech
pathology had visited the
health unit in Trail and
recommended that  treat-
ments continue to be given
within the building.

He pointed out at a meet-

mendation that the speech

BRIEFLY
Quadruplets

HAMILTON (CP) — Donna and David Lauten-
schlager of nearby Caledonia have four good reasons
to celebrate today. \

They became parents of quadruplets at the
McMaster University Medical Centre.

The L h who have a two-year-old
son, added three girls and a boy.

‘Everything went well and everybody's healthy,”
the father said after the last delivery at 1:30 a.m.;
EST. “We're just tired.”

Donna, 30, was 37 weeks pregnant — several
weeks beyond the normal term for quadruplets.’

Peeping Tom?

OTTAWA (CP) — Recent newspaper adverti-
sements displaying pictures of Tourism Minister Tom
McMillan are a desperate bid by a “junior minister” to
boost his image at taxpayers’ expense, says Liberal
MP Don Boudria.

Boudria poked fun at McMillan in the House of
Commons for approving the advertisements, which
urge C i to provide for a new
tourism strategy.

“Like some peeping Tom, the face of the junior
minister of state for tourism peers from a government
advertisement appealing to Canadians to write in and
tell him just what it is he is supposed to be doing as
minister,” he said As MecMiiland and other MPS's
laughed.

Jews airlifted

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. military transport
planes airlifted the last Ethiopian Jews from the
Sudan to Israel on Friday in a secret operation
planned by the Central Intelligence Agency, the Los
Angeles Times reported Saturday.

The Ethiopian Jews were loaded aboard about 10
C-130 transport planes beginning at dawn on a gravel
airstrip about 13 kilometres north of Gedaref in
eastern Sudan, The Times said.

The planes were believed to have followed a route
over the Red and Mediterraneans seas to Israel, the
newspaper said. The number of the Ethipian Jews was
not immediately known, but about 900.

Seven killed

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Seven people, including
three small children, were electrocuted by a downed
7,620-volt powerline Saturday as they attempted to
flee a mobile home, police said.

A witness, Bernard Johnson, had alerted the
seven occupants of the mobile home after a powerline
fell in front of the trailer, causing a small fire around
3:40 a.m. EST, said Carolyn Nelson, a spokesman for
the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Department.

Shortly afterward, the trailer's occupant tried to
flee the area in a car. But as they were leaving, the
rear passenger door of the car struck another
automobile on which the downed powerline had fallen,
she said.

“That caused the elecrocution,” she said.

HIKES UP TO $50

College fees may rise

By CHERYL CALDERBANK
Staff Writer

Tuition fees at Selkirk College could
be going up as much as $50 a semester
in September.

Although a recommendation hasn't
yet been made, principal Leo Perra
told the college board Tuesday night
that it appears college tuition fees in
University Transfer and some Career
Technical areas may be “significantly
lower” than in other B.C. colleges.

A paper prepared by Ministry of
Education personnel indicated that
Selkirk College's fees are among the
lowest as a percentage of the budget,
Perra said in a written report to the
board.

“The administration is reviewing
these figures and if justified, may make
a recommendation regarding increases
for the university transfer and career
programs,” he said.

Perra said in an interview that
Selkirk’s tuition fees may be lower
because “other institutions have made
some very significant increases.”

He said Selkirk increased its fees 10
per cent last year and 25 per cent for
three years before that, while some
insitutions have increased tuition fees
50 per cent for two years in a row.

Labor battle heats up

OTTAWA (CP) — The battle bet-
ween business and labor heated up at
the national economic conference Sat-
urday, but comments by Finance
Minister Michael Wilson indicated all
the stormy rhetoric may be for naught.

Wilson told reporters he heard good
ideas during the two-day conference
that may be incorporated in his
late-May budget, but the basic ec-
onomic direction of the government
remains unchanged.

“We fell as a government that we
must continue on the track that we
established in November of dealing
with the deficit,” he said. “That's an
overriding national problem.”

Wilson toolk the same tack Friday,
telling the conference the deficit for
fiscal 1984-85 will be higher than the
$34.5 billion previously forecast and
everyone must work harder to reduce

it.

Perra said that if Selkirk’s fees are
found to be lower, he will make a
recommendation to the board at its
April meeting for an increase,

If fees are increased, the college can
expect to bring in between $12,000
and $15,000 in additional revenue.

In other college news, Selkirk
College will soon be oné of the few
institutions in Western Canada to offer
computer applications in Forestry.

Computer equipment being installed
in the Forestry Department will allow

Selkirk College to computerize a
number of forestry resource manage-
ment activities, he said.

‘The new equipment — worth $99,000
— was purchased through a federal

government Skills Fund.

Industry boost

VICTORIA (CP) — Trail is the first

energy pricing incentives for new and
expanding businesses.

new program has come at the right
time, and allows his southeastern B.C.
community to follow through with tax
relief plans it approved in January.

He said the council has agreed to

zation of Cominco'’s lead smelter in

blaming each other for the job situation

Sebastien Allard, senior vice-pres-

because it can force companies out of
business.

But Michel Gauthier, general sec-

This elicited from Kenneth Rowe,
president of I.N.P Group LTD., the
comment that everyone knows how to
spend money, but few know how to
make it.

“Labor should use some of its funds
and start a company,” Rowe told Carr.
“Let's see how your utopia works.”
