he: April 20, 1983 ‘teachers could join jobless ran At least five county teachers could join the ranks of the unem- ployed this September as a result of the Mountain: View Board Education’s 1983 budget passed Thur- sday. And other educational services will suffer as trustees profess a determination of to. hold the line on this year’s spending. Trustees, following a lengthy session held behind closed doors last complete package for C of C inaugural meet Those attending the inaugral meeting of the Olds Chamber of Com- merce April 29 will be presented with a package that will in- ‘clude nominations for office, a constitution and a program of ac- tion. The decision to present the package was made at a steering committee meeting last Wednesday at Olds College. Cave and Basin being restored ‘Federal Environment Minister John Roberts today announced Parks Canada has awarded a $3,849,300 contract for construction of the Banff Cave and Basin Centennial Centre. The contract calls for restoration of the pub- lic swimming pool, completion of the. in- terior of the newly- renovated 1914 building, and construc- tion of an entrance plaza, roads and path- ways around "the building. Work will begin im- mediately, and _ is scheduled for com- pletion by late fall or early winter. The centre, on the site of the Cave and Basin hot springs, will com- memorate 100 years of national parks. The hot springs, which gave birth to Canada’s first national park, will be the focal point of Ban- ff’s celebration of our national parks centen- In 1887, the federal government built the first bathhouse beside the Basin spring. In 1914 the present stone building was erected, containing what was then the largest swim- ming pool in Canada. The same committee reviewed a suggested constitution and adop- ted a schedule for membership which has individual memberships at $15.00; businesses with fewer than three employees at $50.00 and employees of 10 or more at $75.00. The constitution provides for an executive of up to 12 members. Rick Picard and Barry Clampett reported that arrangments for the April 29 banquet were going ahead smoothly. Gordon Towers, M.P. will join Hon. Connie Osterman, Alberta’s Consumer Affairs Minister at the head table along with Mayor and Mrs. Bob Ar- mstrong. The commit- tee reported that ticket sales were going well and that they would be around this week stirring up more in- terest. Harvey Gamble, chairing the steering committee suggested that regular dates for May, June and September should be established and the second Wednesday of those months was favored. Time and place will be established after the inaugral meeting. Other members of the steering committee at- tending Wednesday’s meeting were Aaron Vine, Rita Thompson, Dan Cornish, Bob Red- path, Garnet Hammer, Frank Duffin, Marguerite Albanese, and Neil Leatherdale. The committee adop- ted the suggested “program of action” with one major revision. Dropped was a suggestion that the new chamber ‘“‘lobby for real school board” and adopted instead was a program of action “to enhance the growth, stature and importance of Olds College.” HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNDA (Norman) ‘GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CERTIFICATES 2 Years 11%4% 4 Years 12% INSURED WITH CANADA DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION CHECK WITH US FOR TAX SAVINGS ON RRSP WITHDRAWALS Dye & Hamilton Phone 556-3271 13-tine ‘Spring Fever Continues ‘1977 Impala 2 Door _1976 Monarch 1976 LTD Station Wagon 1975.

Programs have been cut in numerous areas, and funding for .others has been slashed sub- stantially. According to a news release issued sub- sequent to the budget’s approval, ‘Due to reduced revenue received from the provincial government for educational — pur- poses, the board was unable to balance (its) budget without _in- creasing the sup plementary requisition rate and. without making extensive cuts to. existing programs and services to studen- ts.” The cuts affect five teaching positions county-wide ‘and teachers aides at the elementary school level. RS rs 3 SS KY PS v3 ie The my Field trips, school maintenance, supplies and materials and secretarial services are being reduced. All cuts and reductions will take effect Sept. 1, when the 1983-84 school year begins. Trustees also. ap proved a 5.63 per cent increase in the mill rate to generate the school supplementary requisi- tion to which all county municipalities con- tribute. They will be requisitioned for a total $3,830,503. Reducing teaching staff from the present level of 241 to 236 will result in a $60,000 saving between Sep- tember and the end of December, board chairman Skip Sortland said Monday.* Main- i the reduced level of teaching staff through 1984 will in- crease the saving to between $150,000 and $160,000, he estimated. 7 my © Fri., April 29, 1983 aides in grades one and two will save the board $26,000 this year. The board cut $30,000 from funds alloted for busing, a move which will affect field trips, athletic and other ex- tracurricular activities. Principals’ mini- budgets were pared by $18,000, and funds for providing substitute teachers were slashed by $15,000. About $7,000 was saved by reducing school secretaries’ workhours, so clerical staff will work a total of 41 weeks per year in- stead of 43. An equal amount has been cut from monies slated for trustees expenses. Although the budget has been approved, fur- on whether the Alberta Teachers Association accepts the $300 pay raise offered to all teachers plus incremen- ts. If the final set- tlement arrives at a Sundre, figure higher than the board budgeted for, changes will have to be made, Sortland said. The bottom line - $14.1 million - will be held, though, he vowed. “We're (trustees) very firm on keeping a balanced budget,” he told the Gazette. Furthermore, ‘as Sor- tland pointed out, st- udent enrollments will play a key role in determining this year’s revenues. The board has predicted a Sep- tember enrollment of 4,200 students, he said, and it won’t be known until the end of the first month of school what the exact figure will be. (Government grants through the School Foundation Program Fund are based on student population.) “We'll be looking at the whole budget procedure” when enrollments are known and a_ contract set- tlement with the ATA is reached, Sortland ARCHIE PECK Alberta Teapading to questions regarding the secretive way in which the budget was debated by board members, Sortland said, ‘This. year is a lot different (from the past) because we don’t have teachers’ salaries finalized.” Trustees discussed budget cuts . “in camera” so all aspects of the budget could be studied without mem- bers grandstanding for (™¥ CLUBS, SPORTS GROUPS........ * ROUTED CEDAR SIGNS - * PLASTIC SIGNS CUT-OUT LETTERS & NUMBERS * BUSINESS CARDS * PAINTED PLY WOOD SIGNS. * ILLUMINATED SIGN FACES Box 15, Didsbury, ee eee FOR BUSINESS, HOME, CHURCH, FARM, RANCH, SERVICE * PLASTIC ENGRAVING OF BADGES.

The chairman added that specific teaching positions had to be discussed. Although the budget likely won't prove popular with county educators, Sortland felt the in camera session Thursday had some positive effects. ‘It was the best budget discussion we've had since I’ve been on the board,” he claimed.
