School Notes Day care site moved THE SITE FOR the construc- tion’ of a. new school and daycare for young parents has been moved down the street. The building was originally to be.built between the REM Lee Theatre and Caledonia Secondary. But a-more recent review of the plans show that it would cost less to. build the Parents and) Children Educational School (PACES) building be- tween the REM Lee Theatre and the Straume tennis courts, says school district special services direclor Andrew Scruton. ; This new site is closer to the street where the water and sewer lines run. “To take these services back off the street between Cal and REM Lee would cost a lot of money,”’ Scruton said. “If you spend moncy on the site you can't spend money on the actual facility.”’ He said the school district hopes to have the building ready for use in September 1995, Gym to expand Caledonia’s gym will soon be lengthened with a $400,000 addition.

An ankle bracelet transmitter effectively puts convicts under house arrest under the program. But the electronic monitoring program in this region was can- celled in. March after about 16 months, ‘It?s difficult to understand how a monitoring program will be available in one part of the province but not another,’’ Jus- tice David Vickers said Friday in sentencing a Kitimal arsonist. He said it’s difficult to under- sland the ever-increasing ex- penditure of public moncy on jails when such programs — which reduce prison populations — are cancelled. Vickers, from Vancouver, said he would have preferred to give the accused man Steven Krevenchuk — a prison term to be served at home by electronic monitoring. District _ corrections director Rob Watts said the $110,000 pro- gram had to have eight people on it per day in this region to make it cosl-effective. ‘During the 16 months we had it, we told all the judges and the lawyers and did the press thing,’’ he said. ‘We publicized it to no end. But the best numbers we could achieve on average were 4,58 clients per day.” *'The numbers were just not forthcoming in the northwest,”’ Without the option of electronic monitoring, Vickers said, a prison term would be an unduly harsh sentence.
