abdominal cramps; bloating;
fatigue; and weight loss. The
treatment for giardiasis is Met-
ronidazole (Flagyl) which ‘can be
obtained by prescription from the

doctor, but the best way to treat
giardiasis is to prevent it al-
together. This can be done simp-

ly and effectively by boiling all
drinking water for 5 minutes in
order to ensure all parasites are
killed. This should include
water used to prepare juice, soup
or anything which you intend to
eat or drink. Another way to
prevent the spread of giardiasis
is to wash your hands well each
time after going to the bathroom.
While giardiasis is curable, pre-
vention is still the best medi-

cine for good old "Beaver Fever".

Dear Reader,

On behalf of Our Lady of
Lourdes Roman Catholic Church and
All Saints Anglican Community
Church, I'd like to thank the 13
adults and 9 children who took
part in the Good Friday Walk For
Development And Peace. And also,
thank you to all those residents
in Cassiar who pledged their sup-
port. All the money raised will
go toward development and peace
in Third World Countries.

Both the Canadian Catholic
Organization for Development and

Peace, and the Primate's World
Relief & Development Fund, are
agencies through which we can

respond to disadvantaged people
around the world. The financial
help sent can help meet many dif-
ferent needs, from famine relief
to enabling small communities and
individuals to become productive
and self-sufficient, who other-
wise would remain condemned to
the slums and impoverished.

It's amazing ~ how far
dollars can go to benefit the
lives of those less fortunate
than ourselves. Again, thank you
for your support.

Yours in Christ,

The Rev. Rodney May

Princeton Mining Corporation
reported net earnings of $2.3
million for the three months end-
ed March 31, 1990 compared to
$7.3 million in the same period
last year. Earnings per share
(basic) amounted to $0.10 versus
$0.40 in 1989. Ona fully dilut-
ed basis, earnings of $0.10 per
share were lower than the $0.31
reported the previous year. Rev-
enue in the quarter was $28.6
million versus $33.2 million the
year before.

First quarter 1990 earnings
of $2.3 million. were slightly
higher than the $1.9 million re-
ported in the previous’ three
months. Earnings for the quarter
were below those for the compar-
able period last year because of
increased cost associated with
the accelerated waste mining plan
and lower copper production re-
sulting from treating Pit 1 ore
at Similco. These factors con-
tinued to impact on operations
during the first two months of
1990. A significant reduction in
waste removal is planned at Sim-
ilco later this year.

The Similco miiling opera-
tion is being upgraded to enhance
recoveries and increase availabi-
lityscin Order to sustain: Copper
output at an annualized rate of
60 million pounds. The opera-
tional performance of the plant
improved considerably in March.

Earnings for the balance of
the year from all operations are
expected to show considerable im-
provements from first quarter re-
sults at current product prices.

Our note on page one regard-
ing the post office situation in
Dease Lake is another example of
the Canada Post Corporation's
bureaucracy in action. Theirx
single minded drive is aimed at
dismantling the present post off-
ice system as we now know it.
Their present plan of attack is
to keep an office full of high
powered exports, waiting like
vultures for a post-master to
die, retire or resign. Then they

‘rush in with a new plan for the

community, offering extended

hours, franchise postal out-lets
or mini postal stations, all

"they say" to benefit the cus- -
tomers. What they fail to men-

tion is that as well as putting
qualified people out of work they
offer franchises at considerably

less money. If a huge corpora-
tion like Canada Post requires X
number of dollars to run a postal

outlet how do they expect a con-
tractor to provide the same level
ofc service satioxXe 5 1/3 ori /A2?.
Fortunately some prospective con-
tractors are taking a second look
at what they are being offered
and are saying no. In other sit-
vations communities with strong
citizen support are saying "No we
don't want a change, we want to
keep our post. office and our
post-master." It's about time
all of us as Canadians sent that

message Loud and Clear to our
government in Ottawa. Leave our
postal system alone, well at
least I think we should.

* _ *

I was disappointed in the
lack of response to my tIlast

statement regarding school child-
ren taking up the roadways and
playing chicken with motorists on
their way to and from school. It
was probably to much to hope that

somebody in the system would at
least say that maybe we should
look into this situation. And
then again maybe the teachers are
looking into the situation. At
least they must be gathering
first hand information on the
subject. Why else on a number of
occasions can one witness six or
eight teachers spread out across
the roadway, acting the same way
asthe: kids. .0r- israt the. kads
doing the same as the teachers?

Parent
Advisory
Report

The Parent Advisory Council
(PAC) is the officially recog-
nized voice of parents at the
school level. It is composed of
parents and other community mem-
bers who have been elected to ad-
vise the School Principal and the
School Board of parental views on
school programs, policies and
activities within the school
(fundraising events, volunteer
programs, school events in the
evening). :

The PAC is composed of par-
ents, the school principal, and
possibly other community members,
including a teacher representa-
tive. The Parent Advisory Coun-
cil meets once a month to con-
sider school issues of concern to
parents and school staff.

The School District #87

Board recognizes the value of

-Mmany forms of community partici-

pation in school life. Consulta-
tion with parents is a desirable
and necessary part of the com-

plete school service. It is
hoped that schools and parents
working together will promote
better student achievement,

greater support for schools, good
morale in schools, an increase in
public confidence and create a
comfortable feeling between the
school and its community.

FUNCTION OF A PARENT ADVISORY

COUNCIL

(an excerpt from the school Dis-
trict #87 Policies and Regula-
tions)

Advisory groups
some or all of the
functions:

may serve
following

1) Providing a form of liaison
between the community and the
school on matters of general
interest affecting the education

of children at the particular
school.

2) Providing an opportunity for

the principal and staff to ex-

plain school goals, programs and

routines;

3) Providing feedback to the

school on feelings of parents on
proposed changes in school poli-

cies and programs and on occasion

reacting to Board policies; _

4) Providing a means by which
parents can offer ideas to the
professional staff;

5) Encouraging parental and com-

munity support for the schools
aims and activities;
6) Promoting functions whereby

staff and parents can get to know
each other on an informal basis;
7) Providing parents with a
forum through which they can
bring to the attention of staff
matters of interest and concern
(with the exception of ones
relating to individual personnel,
students of parents)

Everyone in the community
can benefit from the activities
of the School Advisory Council -
especially parents, guardians,
students, teaching staff, admini-
strators and school trustees.

To be successful, the School
Advisory Council requires contin-
uous effort from everyone involv-
ed. The courage and commitment
of a small group of parents and
guardians working in company with
the school administration often
determine the worth and effect-
iveness of the Council. Fruitful
and influential results require
patience, understanding and hard
work. If well organized, such a
council can have an important in-
fluence on school affairs and
community attitudes.

The School Advisory Council
may advise and may assist princi-
pals, school trustees, Board of-
ficials and representatives of
the Ministry of Education in the
following ways.

They:

1) advise regarding school
philosophy and program priori-
ties; an

2) advise regarding. school
rules, regulations and student
conduct;

3) advise regarding curriculum
offerings, new instructional pro-
grams, facilities, equipment and
learning resources;

4) advise regarding
other financial considerations,
alterations, and renovations to
facilities,

53) advise regarding safety pro-
grams and procedures;

6) advise regarding alternatives

for identifying, communicating
and resolving unique community

needs;

ensure racial and cultural under-
standing and to improve the sense

of community within the school
neighborhood;

11) © advise regarding possible
methods of resolving school-
community differences and of im-
proving school-community -rela-
tions;

12) assist in promoting voter
participation in School Board
