Another new Skeena school plan goes before trustees

PLANS TO replace aging and crowded Skeena Junior Secondary School have changed yet again.

The school board will con- sider April 7 a proposal to build a Grade 10-12 school on the Skeena site.

And, in what amounts to a switch around, the board

will also consider a proposal -

to convert Caledonia Senior Secondary to a junior secondary,

All this requires the ap- proval of the education min- istry which said it would only pay for a new Skeena school on the condition it expand to offer Grades 8 to 12.

But that drew protests from parents and teachers who feared the creation of ‘have’ and ‘have not’ schools with both trying to offer a full range of senior grade courses.

As well, there were calls for the new school to be lo- cated on the bench, next to a planned new elementary school,

Crown | loses —

fishery appeal

SUPREME COURT Justice Robert T. Errico has ‘upheld the sentence given to a Local man by a provincial court judge for federal Fisheries Act violations.

Last April, Gordon Wil- liam Hull was given a con- ditional discharge and or- dered to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for harming fish habitat in a creek that mins through his property in Thornhill,

Hull pleaded guilty in provincial court to damag- ing the cteek which is home to cutthroat trout. He had removed plants and shrubs on either side of the creek to plant grass.

At the time of the trial, Hull was in the process of following the appropriate steps to repair the damage, according io a fisheries of- ficer that inspected the site,

The crown appealed the Sentence saying it was un- realistic and unit. :

Environmental sentences, argued crown lawyer Chris- tine Bimie, are meant to deter offenders from repeat- ing the crime and some of- fenders are heavily fined wo- der the act.

Hull’s sentence was too light too be a deterrent, she said.

Enrico disagreed and said that fining Hull for damages after the work he had done would be considered puni- tive. .

The crown also argued that the sentencing judge misconstrued some of the facts and the extent to which Hull could have caused the damage.

‘Although I may have crafted a different sentence if it had been my duty to do so, I am unable to say the sentence is clearly un- reasonable or unfit,’’ wrote Errico in his March 23 judg- ment,

Acting school supcrinten- dent Sharon Beedle. said the plan for a new 650-student senior school at Skeena comes from a group af teachers, parents, students and administrators.

“Tt seems to leave people with smiles on their faces,”’ she said.

She’s not predicting a dif- ference in price between the education ministry’s offer of a Grade 8 to 12 school as the new facility wanted

would be of the same size and hold the same number of students.

Beedle noted that it will cost less to build on the Skeena site as the proposed bench location would need to be cleared and services provided. :

Skeena Junior Secondary Principal Rob Greenwood, who is on the Skeena Re- _ Placement Committee, sald options for the new. school are fiscally possible and ed-

ucationally sound,

“My personal feeling is lhe community should get what the community wants,’’ sald Greenwood,

If the ministry approves the new plan, construction could start later this year. The track and field area behind the current school has been tagged as the loca- tion for the new one.

Students will —_atlend Skeena while the new build- ing is being built. ;
