"He thought the dog had gone mad and didn't know what to do." Normal procedure is to call the dog pound to deal with vicious animals, said Nelson, who told the man his actions were inappropriate. "It was an individual shooting his own dog so we do not become involved," said SPCA manager Lynn West. "As long as it is done humanely, there is little we can do." Criminal charges have been laid against individuals after dogs who were not endangering anyone were shot, said West.

"If the evidence were there that the dog was not vicious and the killing was unwarranted, we do seek criminal charges," she said.

The money comes from general tax revenue. Greenwood said Glenlyon received $221,657 from public funds last year before it merged with Norfolk House School for Girls. She said the money went into teachers' salaries. Tuition fees at the school last year brought in-another $830,000. "That (public funding) doesn't cover even a quarter of our operating expenses," Greenwood said.

She said the current operating budget is not made public because that is prohibited under the Societies Act. "There are a great many nonprofit societies receiving 100 per cent funding from the Ministry (of Social Services and Housing), but where is their public they are powerless. They have no influence. They are not paying (taxes) out of their own free will. "It does puzzle me that so few parents come out" to public elections.

She said people are turning to the independent school system as an alternative to the public system. "It is also a case of whether the public system will turn itself around and pay attention to what the parents want," said Greenwood, a trustee on the Greater Victoria board for six years. "It is only doing that now slowly. Parents have been kept outside the school. "I don't think it is true that parents don't want to be involved.

In the past, they might have had a bad experience and they only get called by the school when the child is in trouble." By Patrick Murphy Times-Colonist staft Independent schools offer education to all levels and are not just halls of elitism, say board members of Glenlyon-Norfolk independent school. Although board chairman La-vinia Greenwood admits the board is not accountable to the public at the polls for public funds the school receives, the board is accountable to its society members for the overall operation of the school. Public funding of independent schools has been attacked by public school boards because they see money going into the private system with no requirement that independent schools account for how the money is spent. Independent schools are now paid 35 per cent of the cost per pupil of the amount it costs to "We have to have audited budgets and that is accountability. "We are not running for office for personal glorification or for a political career.

We are (on the board) doing a job." Vice-chairman Jamie Henwood said about 40 per cent of the society's members attend the annual general meeting, which is roughly the equivalent of school board elections. At the last Greater Victoria School Board election, the turnout in the city of Victoria was three per cent. (Nearly 80 per cent of taxpayers in the Greater Victoria School District do not have children in the school system.) "Our parents are interested in that they are sending their children to school and they are paying for it," Greenwood said. In public school board elections, "I think the taxpayers think She said there is inconsistency in teaching in the public system. Henwood said an advantage of the independent school is smaller classes and more individual attention to students.

He said parents are listened to by the board and the teachers. Laurel Hounslow, board secretary, said her oldest daughter spent one year in the public system and "I was not unhappy with it." "The independent school is meant to help each individual child to fulfil their potential. "We don't accept only the academic elite." The schools have $100,000 in scholarships and bursaries for students to attend.

"Aid and education are steps to helping Central American countries." Fisi added, "Boycotting helps somewhat, but it's not big enough." She calls Central America a "surrogate battleground" for world powers.

Bauld said: "The U.S. and Russia are still fighting the Cold War on someone else's land."

"Students are encouraged to come prepared to represent their government's actual stance on issues which we can always improve upon." Fisi said.
