Hold Up on Subdivision

+ (continued from ‘page 1)
view Subdivision, and at Ootis-
chenla, “There fs not one plece
of rural industrially zoned land
around Castlegar.”

t Referring again to the
100-lot subdivision proposal
that Is now in Hmbo, Mr.
Vipwell cited some of the
following cily requirements as
being unreasonable and adding
greatly to the projected costs of
the lots:

© Installation of a $60,000
water storage tank completely
at the cost of the developer
(and thus at the cost of those
who buy lots}, Mr. Hipwell said
the city refuses to discuss the
possibility of working out an
arrangement to have the own-
ers of ft in the

park use without the city
committing itself to a deadline
date for development of the
park(s).

© The developer must bring
water system side feeds to the,
lot line (something the elty
doesn't do itself, says Mr,
Hipwell), yet the clty won't
forego the connection fees
which are Imposed to cover the
cost of the elly doing what It
now requires the developer to
do—and the Tot buyer to pay
for. *

Mr. Hipwell estimates the -

city's proposed bylaw will add
$6,000 to the cost of each lat. He
says the effect is that “the city
wants a prepaid subdivision,
but won't say it won't impose

immediate area share the cost.
He said the city also won't
discuss foregoing water front-
age taxes which means lot
buyers will pay for. the tank

Snow Plugged Drivevs

Dear Sir: :

We also happen to be
senior citizens. i

My husband was {n the
hospital and myself sick with
the flu. The snow that filled the
walk every day I could cope
with, but when I got it
shovelled out close to the street
I would find the end of the walk
filled in with hard crusty snow
four feet high and four feet
across dumped in there by the
snowplow,

I got an axe and chopped
through that hard mess the
width of the walk and across
the middle. Then I picked those
big chunks up with my hands
and tossed them over onto the
snow banks on both sides.

: After I finally got it all
cleaned out the snow plow came

charges

The two realtors believe
the problems now being en-
countered in Castlegar are nol
unique to this community.

‘They say municipal eoun-
cils throughout the province
are forcing up the price of home
ownership through unreasoi-
able demands on developers
and the effect is the continuing
escalation of property values
for everyone with consequent
increases in property taxes.

Ways

along cutting a wide swath and
plugged it all up again

Don't ever think I cleaned
it all out at one time. I had to
stop and rest and doa little ata
time.

Anyway, where is the
sense of plowing out the streets
if our driveway is so plugged up
we can't get our car out onto
the street?

The speaker at the con-
ference, Michael Buckley, was
formerly the deputy director of

“the Nuffield Schools Council,

modern language project,’ and
organizer of the French project
which defeloped the En Avant
a

Buckley was a “new
method tutor" Ty the la
teaching centre, ‘University of
York, England. He is presently
conducting a course in modern
languages methodology at the
University of Nancy, in Nancy,

nce.

In light of Mr. Buckley's
background and his 10 years of
experience with the Nuffield
Schools Council (York, Eng-
land), he presented an evalua-
tion of the En Avant Program,
citing what their research had
shown to be the key character-
istics common to success in
schools.

‘Among these are full-time
language advisor (a pre-
planner}; enough sufficiently
trained teachers; regular mect
ings of teachers of all levels of
the program, including second-
ary, for the purpose of setting
objectives for each’ year of the
program (team teaching); and
positive attitude of (a) the
principal (b) the teacher and (c)
the parents.

_Mr. Buckley offered these
suggestions for the successful
teaching of the En Avant

rogram:

Materials must be interest-
ing, relovant and useful to
pupils; .-

Encouragement of lessons
conducted in French: It is

important not to break the flow
of the language being taught;

Active methods such as
games provide motivation. The
French language 1s more likely
to be retained when it is linked
to action;

Contacts with a Frénch-
speaking community, often by
means of exchange of tapes,
letters, and so on;

No course is perfect, and
teachers should not allow ‘the
course to take over his or her
work. This particular proj

We have commenced the
‘team learning’ part of our
school’s Grade 8 reading pro-
gram. Each student is part-
nered with someone who is as
close as possible to his particu-
lar reading rate and level,

‘The two teammates confer
on answers and submit thelr
findings as a eam effort, We
are convinced that students
profit greatly from the oppor-
tunity to discuss work, to
defend positions, and lo make
dceisions,

Partners are kept until
Easter and then each student
will decide whether to go
‘independent’ or to continue
with a teammate.

| A.C, E, G and I classes
have completed a mastery
program in grammar on ‘sen-
tence elements’, and will now.
exchange places with B, D, F
and H classes. (90 per cent on

-the final test is required for a

pass}.
Grade 9 students are en-
gaged in ‘word altack’ skills,
having completed phonics and
syllableation groundwork. We
are involved in a ‘speed spell-
ing’ program designed to un-
cover ‘blocks’.

This is an individualized
type of learning and introduces
the ‘hot seat’,

(Relax! The hot seat is
simply the place where each
student sits as he writes a
dictated word for ‘clearing’.
‘The-teacher. observes hand
