Seatbelts a concern

By CasNews Staff

Trustee Kay Johnson crit- ized Castlegar school board's policy on seatbelts in private vehicles transporting stu- dents, pointing out at Mon- day's meeting that it doesn't necessarily mean all young- sters must be buckled in.

Johnson read out the fol- lowing statement from the board’s transportation pol- iey: “That all principals be asked to inform teachers and parents who ar¢ transporting

students in their own veh- icles on school related act- ivities to ensure the students wear the available seatbelts.”

She pointed out that the statement could be inter- preted as meaning students need not wear seatbelts if a vehicle isn't equipped with them.

Johnson added she had received a complaint from a parent who said her child had travelled to and from a school

activity in a van with no seatbelt.

School board superintend- ent Terry Wayling said some vehicles built before regu- lations came in the 1970s requiring seatbelts may not have them, but are legally fully covered by insurance.

He said the board would have to make a policy change to prohibit students from riding in vehicles with no seatbelts — a move which Johnson advocated.

Instead of two separate firehalls, each with an assis- tant chief, the department will have one deputy chief in charge of both the north and south halls, in addition to Chief Bob Mann. Theron Isfeld will be the deputy chief.

Other changes will see Ald. Bob Pakula step down as a fire captain. Pakula said he simply had too many other things to do and could nc longer afford the time re- quired of a captain.

He will be replaced by Lieut. Rick Hahn. Joe Rosse will take over Hahn's lieut- tenant duties while Ray Hackett will take over as lieutenant from Jack Nich- valodoff at the south hall.

Protective services com. mittee chairman Ald. Albert Calderbank called the chan- ges “amicable”.

As well, the deputy chief, captains and lieutenants will receive an increase in their stipends.

The deputy chief will re- ceive $300 a month, up from $200 a month, while captains and lieutenants will get $60 each a month, a $10-a-month increase.

“These figures will not increase the budget,” said Pakula. He said some posi- tions have been eliminated, making the total budget actually less than before.

“We are still optimistic happen.”

Brown said she was “really pleased to hear the board has taken this step.” Brown also asked if the board as a whole has considered what will be done if the budget is not accepted. The college expects to receive its budget in

about two weeks.

building down

By CasNews Staff Residential construction ground to a halt in February with no new homes being built. However, the city issued nine building permits totalling $21,200 for alter- ations to residences.

Those figures are down sharply from February 1984 when two permits valued at $93,000 for new homes and 12 permits were issued for alterations totalling $50,000.

Construction activity over. all in February dropped off from last year. Only 17 permits totalling $153,050 were issued in February, compared to 20 permits total. ling $258,700 for the same month last year.

By CasNews Staff

Mark Andrew Meredith, 17, of Rossland has had an armed robbery case against him adjourned to April 4, when he'll elect to be tried either by judge, or judge and jury.

The adjournment was made during an appearance Tuesday in Castlegar provin cial court.

Meredith faces charges of armed robbery, committing an indictable offence while his face was masked, two counts of possession of stolen Property, possession of a dangerous weapon and un. lawful use of a firearm.

He was arrested less than 24 hours after a robbery March 6 at the Castlegar Mohawk gas station at 1415 Columbia Ave.

As well, construction for the first two months is down. Though the same amount of building permits were issued this January and February — 37 — they come to nearly half the total of the first two months in 1984.

The permits total $372,000 for the first two months this year, a drop of $289,250 from the total last year of $661, 800.

However, the city has issued more business licenses so far this year — 334. That's 29 more than for the same time last year, when 304 were issued

But not as many home owners paid their water and sewer bills by the discount deadline date this year. The bills had to have been paid by the end of February for homeowners to get a 10 per cent discount.

Administrator Dave Gair ns said 71 per cent of the bills were paid by that date, down from the average of about 80 per cent in previous years.

Gairns added in a memor. andum to council, “There were no complaints at the counter about the modest increase in water and sewer user fees.”

Bouey says keep fighting

OTTAWA (CP) — The governor of the Bank of Canada Tuesday urged Can. adians to continue the fight against inflation but warned they cannot expect any sig nificant drop in interest rates until the United States takes convineing action to reduce its deficit.

IT’S WAR OUT there. And if you don't believe it, just ask the two area radio stations. CKQR in Castlegar and CJAT in Trail are going head-to-head for the same market.

The battle heated up this morning with the announcement that CJAT’s owners have applied to purchase the Nelson and Creston radio stations.

Four Seasons Radio Ltd., a Kelowna-based company which owns CJAT and CKIQ in Kelowna, has agreed to buy Nelson's CKKC and Creston'’s CFCK from David and

Schmidt.

tions Commission to boost its radio signal from 1,000 to 20,000 watts.

The bigger signal will mean CKQR will be able to beam into Nelson (in fact past Nelson to Balfour) and Trail. Thus, the two stations — CJAT and CKQR — will be battling each other in Nelson, Castlegar and Trail.

So you can bet that the CKQR management is more than a little concerned about CJAT’s proposed purchase of CKKC.

One thing about the purchase (it must still be approved by the CRTC) is that Nelson residents could see a major improvement in their radio station.

ROBERT REDFORD in Castlegar? That's the word on the street. Apparently Redford and John Davidson flew into Castlegar Airport last Monday on Redford’s private jet for a week of skiing. They are reported to have stayed at the Sandman Inn while doing some spring skiing at Red Mountain.

So that's why the crush of people at Red last week?

Policy labe

By CasNews Staff

A Castlegar school board policy statement on parent group relations with schools was tossed back to committee for rewording after a trustee complained it unfairly dictated how parent groups should be run.

Trustee Kay Johnson objected to the word “should” being used in the policy statement. For example, one section reads that parents groups “should work actively to: (a) encourage teachers (b) supplement school equipment (c) support the curricular and extra curricular activities.”

Johnson said at Monday's meeting that she was concerned that the board was over-reaching its authority by setting “a second set of goals” for parent groups, over which it has no direct control.

She also said statements in the policy were too vague, such as a directive which says parent groups “should be aware of school and community conditions affecting the child.”

“If we're going to create policy, we have to be clear on what we're saying,” Johnson said

Board chairman Doreen Smecher pointed out that the policy hadn't been inititated by the board, but had been

Iled unfair

board policies are routinely circulated among groups affected by them.

“By the time it gets to the board table for discussion, it's been given the stamp of approval by those affected by it,” Smecher said.

“A broad statement is all we're presenting to them, and how they govern themselves in specifics with regard to that broad statement is entirely up to themselves,” she told the meeting.

Johnson said although board members had had an opportunity to see the proposed policy before the meeting, they should have had opportunity to discuss it informally beforehand.

Another policy statement on non-instructional days when students are given the day off while teachers engage in professional activites, was attacked by Johnson as being unclear. . a

The policy said the number of non-instructional days for any pupil won't exceed five per year, and added that, “At least two days shall be with all schools closed. Up to three days shall be either both secondary or all elementary schools closed.”

“It's mbersome and it isn't clear,” Johnson need to be clear on what I'm voting on. If I

She added in an interview that parent groups

The non-instructional day policy was passed, along with policy statements on teachers’ leaves for government service, and vehicle insurance coverage.
