mi Timber!

LESLIE KING stands on the stump of a felled Cottonwood tree on the Howe Creek trail. Three large trees were downed by order of the city on April 5. Steve Scott, parks superintendent, said the trees were becoming a danger after several iarge timbs had fallen from them. “We have a re- sponsibility to keep it sate,” he said. Some residents near the trail are sad to see the trees go and are wondering when the city is going to clean up the debris left behind nearly two weeks aga. “There will be some clean up,” said Scott, though he did not specify when. The city is considering planting conifers in the clearing where the trees once stood.

College budget goes up

NORTHWEST COM- MUNITY College here will likely be the home this fall of a native public administration program.

And the callege’s bud- get is being boosted an extra $950,000 increase from the provincial gov- ernment.

The increase is enough for 70 more student spaces and they'll be spread throughout the college’s region, says college offi- cial Barb Sheridan.

“It’s really needed, There’s been lots of inter- est,” she said of the native public management pro- gram.

Also new, and taking place in Kitimat, are phar- macology courses for li- censed practical nurses there,

Sheridan said the col- lege was expecting some sort of budget increase, but

had no idea it would amount ta 70 student spaces.

“tt’s completely wel- come and was a total surprise,” she said.

An exact breakdown of how the 70 spaces will be divided up has yet to be made,

The $950,000 brings the college's operating budget for this year to $13.2 mil- lion.

With the 70 new stu- dent spaces, the full time equivalent student total is now more than 1,650.

In 1998, that number was just under 1,500.

There are six college campus locations through- out the northwest and four other partnership ones.
