30 Terrace Review —~ Wednesday, October 23, 1991 Another deadly accurate forecast - from school district estimator | Skip Bergsma, the assistant superintendent of School District 88, has once again proven why he’s the envy of bureaucratic | prognosticators. In a report filed with the school board Oct. 8 Bergsma showed he had pre- dicted the. number of students enroled in the district within four out of 5,387 pupils. The forecast is of critical im- portance because the district's funding — and budget projection — is based on student numbers. Bergsma had predicted an enrolment of 5,391 students; the number as of Sept. 30, the date the Ministry of Education uses for funding, was 5,387. The ministry’s estimate was 5,199. Bergsma told the board that minor staff additions had been made to several schools in the Worker injured at Ottawa St. site | A city water and sewer utility worker was injured last Thursday morning while working on the Ottawa St. relocation project. According to a Public Works Department spokesman, the man was working inside a shoring cage when a piece of machinery moved unexpectedly and broke his arm. A Workers’ Compensa- | - tion Board investigator has dis- cussed the incident with city staff and is apparently satisfied that an internal Public Works investiga- tion has fully addressed the acci- dent and that a similar accident will not occur again. district but the number of. teachers in the district still remained within the full-time equivalent limit specified in the budget. OF the total number of stu- dents, 17 will not be funded in the block because they are Alaskan students attending school in Stewart, for which the board is paid directly by the state of Alaska. The equivalent of 18 other students was deducted from the total because full-time students who started dual entry last year are only funded at .8 — the board received partial payment for them last year before the dual entry primary program was cancelled by the Ministry. of FORESTRY INSIGHTS.. _- ..CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 tain to fail.” “Squish.

Squish was the first to make a decision. Perhaps if he were to describe the scenario one | more lime, RJ might decide it was not such an attractive plan after all. “RJ,” Squish broke the silence. “This decade is critical for the for- VERYDAY IS SHIRT LAUNDRY DAY | Men's or Ladies’ cotton or poly blend shirt Richards on Emerson THE DRYCLEANER & SHIRT LAUNDRY Swing in to our DRIVE THRU Richards Cleaners 3223 Emerson St. Terrace 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. — Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. — Saturday exes Phone: 635-5119 =" Education. The equivalent of five full-time students in adult programs who are taking less than 640 hours of instruction over the year was also deducted. That leaves a total 5.219 stu- dents in the funding block. Bergsma told the board it should receive about $140,000 from the ministry for the enrolment over their estimate in January 1992.

The Ministry of Forests has seen the writing on the wall and reduced the size of clear cuts. Many in the industry under- stand. For the past couple of years they have been, redirecting profits into better management practices and equipment for secondary man- ufacturing. But you, if you like, can follow this plan.” ; And with that, Herby Squish began to explain. Faced with lower quality timber, the only way to maintain profits was to cut the cost of doing business. And this could be done quite easily. By building roads as cheaply as possi- ble, for example, and abandoning them when you're done. By deter- ing some lovely weather.
