Al0 _ Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 18, 1990 ~ Condom issue ° [ stays on table TERRACE— The issue of whether the school district should install condom dispensing ' machines in schools drew a bar- tage of critical questioning at the conclusion of the school board’s monthly public meeting April 10. The board has taken no action on the controversial proposal, although trustees claim to have discussed it in closed committee meetings. The item did not appear on the meeting agenda, but after adjournment two Caledonia senior secondary students asked the board whether it will act on the issue, and when. Devon Kuiper, editor of the student newpaper the Bear Trap, said, "Students feel the board is doing nothing... some students have the impression that the board is afraid of the subject." Chairman Edna Cooper denied that the board is afraid of dealing with the issue, saying, "It’s a seri- ous subject." She indicated the - trustees had been made aware of strong feelings among members of the public and were considering the possibility of holding a public meeting to air the matter before making a decision. "When we make a decision, it has to be a good decision,” she said. "Go back and tell them (the students) it’s definitely in the process." Cooper also noted that in order for the issue to be discussed at a _ public meeting, one of the trustees would have to bring it up because the matter had been tabled. So far that hasn't happened. The matter didn’t end there, however. Broadcast reporter Carmel Smyth had earlier asked for the board’s criteria in referring items to closed committee meet- ings, to which trustees and ad- ministrators replied that items not discussed in public included personnel matters, finance, land and property transactions, and matters involving individual stu- dents and parents. Smyth pointed out that the condom issue did not fit into any of those categories, to which Cooper responded, "Yes, 1 suppose so,” and offered no further explanation. Meetings of board committees have always been closed to the public, although there is a general policy allowing them to be open at the discretion of the committee chairman, It was later announced that a public meeting will be held May 15 in the Terrace board room on the condom issue. The time and parameters for the meeting will be advertised. Wandering horses may be corralled Wandering horses aren’t as big a problem in the Bench area now as they were a couple of months ago, but there are still enough reports of horses running loose to cause animal control officer Frank Bow- _isher concem. Last year alone, enough horses and cattle escaped the confines of their pastures to cause $700 in property damage. -_ In. the past, Bowsher’s biggest problem hasn’t been capturing -escaped livestock. The problem has _ been what to do with the animals "after they’re caught. This is a problem that may soon be solved, however. Bowsher is in the process of seeking Terrace city council’s approval for a couple of lockups on the Bench, and in future those wandering animals may be effectively "put in jail". One of these proposed lockups is at the Wilson Ave. pumping sta- tion and the other is on private land on Soucle Ave. near the coll- ege.

Under provincial law, says Bow- sher, Terrace residents who own cattle or horses must fence their livestock in. The reverse is true in open range areas, where residents are responsible for fencing their neighbors’ livestock out. THE SIGN OF A GOOD BUSINESS NEIGHBOR...
