Public health nurse Cindy PMarico, who acts as a resource person to peer counselors at the school, said the questionnaire was developed by the students as part of the Healthy Schools Initiative

The Healthy Schools mandate is to “help kids change their school environment to a healthier place, both physically and emo- tionally”, explained Talarico.

Talarico said she knows that the topic of condom use and installa- tion of condom machines in school restrooms is a potentially explo- sive issue, and so encourages

to add c to the questionnaire if desired.

She said that if condom machines are installed at the school they would be installed in only one male and one female restroom.

“The idea is that people need to be responsible and not leave it up to one sex or another,”

Talarico stresses that condoms aren't infallible and that abstinence is the only way in which protect against sexually transmitted dis eases and unplanned pregnancies.

“Even with condoms it's not 100 per cent and that message is out there.””

School budget remains

KAREN KERKHOFF Sun Staff

The Castlegar School District has approved its preliminary bud- get for the 1995/96 school year.

Secretary-treasurer John Dascher said the $17.4 million budget is an increase of 1.13 per cent, or $193,926, over last year’s budget.

This, explained Dascher, leaves the district “status quo” over last year’s budget, howev- er, there are staff increases included in the budget for a half-time computer technician will be increased to a full-time position, a 10-month grounds- man increased to 12-months and the addition of a crosswalk attendant for Kinnaird Eleinen- tary,

plans to reduce staff or hours of work nor to drop programs already in place.

Other budget requests, such as increases for school supplies and in-service and additional equip- ment, have been deferred to this fall with the hopes that increased enrollments will bring additional revenue

The Ministry of Education has projected a 3 1/2 full4ime equiva- lent student increase for the district, but Dascher hopes that the min- istry’s projection is off the mark.

“With all the construction going on there's a good chance more families will move into the area, That's good news for the

district—added revenue.”

As of February 1995, the dis- trict has enjoyed an.increase of 13 1/2 FTE students since last September, which is 10 stu- dents above the ministry's pro- jection

This is a welcome addition for the district

“If we have additional students it means we have additional rev- enue. Anything above [the min- istry’s 3 1/2 student projection] is a plus.”

This year’s wages and benefits eat up $13,229,600, or 88.38 per cent of the budget, while last year wages cost the district $13,046,800.

Continued from 1A review will be carried out over a live to six-year period

A single-vehicle accident on Pass Creek Road April 27 resulted in the jaws of life being used to extricate Jen- nifer Orriss from the vehicle.

Users of the Arrow Lakes have a lot more to smile about nowa- days thanks to a debris-control Program financed by B.C. Hydro

Some five to six years ago « debris control committee was formed under the leadership oj Nakusp Mayor Rosemary Johnson

Comprised of representatives from the B.C. Forest Service, Pope and Talbot, the Canadian Coast Guard, B.C. Hydro and communities on the reservoir, the committee prioritized trouble areas which needed to be cleared of debris.

B.C. Hydro’s Al Geissler said

O'Connor said that in discus- sions with residents, their major concern is dust and he empha- sized that Saliken and Gienger should work to keep dust down.

“We've got a couple of peo- ple up there that have asthma bad,” he said.

Earlier Gienger told council that ground up asphalt would be used on the surface of the new road and they would watere the surface regularly.

“That should help keep the dust down,” agreed O'Connor,

A number of area residents had written council opposing the gravel pit. They cited concerns about noise, dust, traffic and Property damage.

The city’s technical planning committee also recommended the gravel pit not proceed, point- ing to similar concerns, especial- ly with so many trucks using Merry Creek Road and the con- gestion the trucks would gener- ate at 18th Street and Columbia Avenue.

Council was concemed about the effects the operation would have on Merry Creek

Haines and his crew of two also landscape the beaches, an effort which he said has paid off

“They look a lot nicer—post card perfect.”

But it's not all work for Haines and his fellow workers—some- times they come upon fishing tackle snagged in the stumps, or remnants of foundations.

In the last two years areas that have been cleaned up include Snag Bay (about 40 km up the lake), Deer Park; Renata; Tulip Creek; Bowman Creek located near Snag Bay; Shields Creek (across from Tulip Creek; and below Scotties Marina. Syringa

Youth charged in stealing vehicle

KAREN KERKHOFF Sun Staff

A 14-year-old Castlegar youth has been charged with auto theft, possession of stolen property, driving without a driv. er's license, breach of probation and driving too fast for road conditions after he allegedly stole his parents’ vehicle and totalled it

Castlegar RCMP say the youth took the vehicle April 25 and subsequently lost control of the 1989 Pontiac around 12:30 am. causing it to enter a ditch and strike an embankment near “Bartsoff’s Corner” on Pas$ Creek Road. The uninjured youth fled the scene. A police dog dispatched to the scene was unable to locate the youth who was later found at 3 a.m. hiding in a closet at his girlfriend's Pass

But as the water level in the Arrow Lakes fluctuated in response to American electrical needs, so did the amount of debris deposited on local beaches

That's changing quickly as communities along the reservoir and B.C. Hydro work to clear the beaches of the debris.
