“If burning’ of grass or slash is contemplated, a tem- porary permit will be required , from the Forest Service,” he said.

Mr. Wood also stated that any costs that are incurred by the Forest Service will be billed to the person or persons’ who started the fire.

Funeral Service Held

For Ronald

Funeral services were held Tuesday from the chapel of the Castlegar Funeral Home for Ronald Howard Eli Heglin, 16, who died suddenly. Saturday.

Born in Nelson. Dec. 28,

1957, he was educated” in Castlegar and lived all his life here.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Heglin; one brother, Richard

‘Helin, 16

and one sister Maryanne, all at home.

Also surviving are his grandfather Howard Heglin of Nanaimo and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Eli Sopow of Castlegar.

Pallbearers | were John Salikin, Jim Olson, “Allan Heglin, David Heglin, Gerald Heglin and Eli Sopow.

of The govern- ment is also willing-to assume all capital expenditures and. operational cost. with the exception of student fees which will be retained much the same as they are now.

would bei “like ai an ‘exiention of that concept.

“Although > this will not solve all the present problems existing in the educational a eld in’ the Kootenays, it different, new realistic solution to the demands :of-- todays educational needs,” he said.

Community involvement is vital to the success of such a facility and feedback to the government, the colleges and the news media on the recommendations is the only way those involved will. know the feelings of the public it must. serve. The Kootenay region has been chosen to be the proving ground for such a venture because the commis- sion fell that the population of the area made it economically unfeasible for the support of three. separate facilities (Sel- kirk, N.D.U. anda. new community college in the East Kootenay).

Dr. Kaller feels that the people of this area are ready for ‘such a comprehensive program because of the industrial nature of the population, the distances students must now travel to get the type of programs that could be offered by such a facility and the problems encountered when students try to transfer from one institution to another.

“ “Education has changed in the

past 10. years from an ivory tower approach to. one of common sense that intends to prepare the students for the world in which they must make a living,” said Dr. ° Kaller. “Therefore, the general ap- proach to those educational needs must change to one that is integrated and interrelated and depends on the co-opera-

tion of the educators,”

Those at the meeting seemed anxious about the loss of the very personalized rela- tionship that has been fostered at Selkirk. Dr. Kaller said there is ‘no reason for the. basic character of Selkirk to change,

but rather to extend this .

attitude over a greater. area and- a greater number of students, i

There were few questions and it appeared most. people went away from the meeting. . pleased at Dr. Kaller’s presen- tation and pondering the rationale of the commission's recommendations,
