Lawyer slams ministry

By SIMON BIRCH é Staff Writer

The provincial attorney-general’s office and the British Columbia court system is being “handicapped’ by a policy’ of cutbacks, says Castlegar lawyer John Carpenter.

“In my opinion, the attorney-gen- eral’s office is buggering up the pro- secution of cases and I don’t want to be part of that,” Carpenter said in an interview last week.

Carpenter resigned last month as one of three Crown counsels in the West Kootenay.

handicapping the Crown counsel in the effective prosecution of cases by their policy,”. he said. S:

However, Carpenter said he couldn’ t think of a particular case that’ was mishandled because of a lack of staff.

“Basically what it is is being embarrassed as a lawyer because of their opinion or policy about a certain thing. It’s a difference of opinion between lawyers about how.to do a job. It's a disagreement over philosophy or policy.”

Sept. 1, Nelson lawyer Bill Heflin becerie the only prosecutor for the

Nelson, rand

Forks and Nakusp courts. .

The third Crown counsel for the West Kootenay, Rossland lawyer Bar- ry Johnson, did not have his contract renewed, Carpenter said.

Johnson could not be reached for comment, but Heflin last week con- firmed that Johnson's contract was not renewed, adding that it was “not related to performance.”

Heflin, who is under contract to the government until April 1, 1986, said the attorney-general's office is cutting back on staff but did not want to comment further.

Crossing guards at Kinnaird Elementary school are.a sure sign that fall is on the way as they prepare to stop traffic

, Heflin did say it

“physically impossible” for him to handle all’ cases and added “my reaction to the situation is I'm tired.”

Bob Hunter, regional Crown counsel in Kamloops, said today the attorney- general's department is cutting back on staff because of the lower crime rate in the province.

When asked specifitally about the situation in the West Kootenay,

Hunter became angry y and referred all

questions to the district Crown coun- sel, Richard Cairns of Cranbrook. In a telephone interview, Cairns denied the attorney-general’s depart- continued on page A2

ABOUT ELECTION

Bennett not talking

WHISTLER, B.C. (CP) — Premier Bill Bennett skirted questions Tuesday about a possible British Columbia election in the coming year and then flew off in a helicopter-to open an airstrip that's not yet completed.

“My colleagues may want to talk about it (an election), but I don’t intend to,” said Bennett, who has his Social Credit caucus at this mountain resort north of Vancouver for meetings this week.

The premier said there are 980 days left-in his government's mandate and there is still a.lot to be done.

“I haven't even posed the question in my own mind and why would I? There's so many things left to do,” he said standing on the airstrip in Pemberton.

By spring, a microwave tower and landing equipment will be in place so private jets and Air BC's Dash 7 will be able to. make instrument landings, making it easier for vacationers to get to Whistler, which is operated by a provincial Crown corporation.

It is the second time in two weeks Bennett and his cabinet have met outside Victoria and Vancouver.

Last week, they met in Revelstoke for a day. The next day, Bennett dedicated a $2-billion hydroelectric dam that has been operating since

ment is committed to building more

Students

flock to

college

“By CasNews Staff

Fall enrolment at Selkirk College has already surpassed last year’s total and registration still hasn't been com- pleted

College information officer Joe Lintz said Tuesday on the first day of college classes that enrolment totalled 1,230 at all three campuses, excluding Adult Basic Education.

“There's still students out front paying fees,” said Lintz.

In addition, there are 195 students

__‘who_have applied _to programs who

haven't yet registered. As well, there are 192 more students on a waiting list.

‘The 1,230 figure includes 950 full- time at the campus,

jobs feel “they might as well get training in another area or upgrade their skills or just pass the time in school,” he said.

“It’s an investment in the future.”

Lintz noted that, with the exception of a few ‘vacancies in the Graphic + Design Program, most career tech- nology programs are filled.

Courses like Photography, Wildland Recreation, Long Term Care Aide, Forestry and even Electronic Publish- ‘ing — a new program this year — are full. oa

The Electronics program is also full

with a waiting list, as is the Early Chil and C

220 at Rosemont and 92 at Trail.

Lintz said enrolment last year was 1,050, after the sollege had settled into its “routine”.

“It's definitely up,” he said.

Lintz said most of the positions in the programs were filled by pre-registra- tion week in August.

And most of the University Transfer courses are booked to capacity. In courses like English, Psychology and Math, virtually every seat is taken.

“We don't seem to be in a situation where we have to go looking for students,” he said.

He attributed that to the slow job market. Some people who haven't got

Meanwhile, college enrolment is down at the Rosemont campus, the vocational training. centre.

“That's attributable to the fact that students go through a_ four-year apprenticeship before they get a trades qualification,” Lintz said. “And there just aren't apprenticeships available. Enrolment numbers have been declin- ing ever since last spring.” he said.
