Just after 4 ., a Man and woman were walking on River Avenue near Osborne Street when they were threat ened by two males who Rode up to them on bicycles. Police say one of the suspects had a handgun. The Man and woman ran off and the suspects fled the area. No one was Hurt in the incident. The suspect with the handgun is described As caucasian 18 to 19 years of age six feet with a thin build and enrolment continued from Page b1 elsewhere in Winnipeg River East Transcona dropped 291 students Pem Bina trails lost 263 students Louis Riel 161, Seine River 22 and St. James Assini Boia 10. For every student it loses a division gets about $3,600 less in provincial operating Grants. In Large divisions the Impact of fewer students is scattered and diluted across classrooms in dozens of schools making it difficult to Cut costs by hiring fewer teachers and operating fewer classrooms. And while City divisions Are losing Stu dents the empty desks tend to be in older neighbourhoods while new sub Urban subdivisions continue to grow. The province has refused to build new schools in the suburbs if there Are vacant desks elsewhere in a division. St. James Assiniboia has projected inexorable and increasingly larger enrolment drops for the foreseeable future and has launched a Community consultation process that could Combine Silver Heights and Sturgeon Creek col Legates. Bjornson said that no division has come Forward seeking to amalgamate voluntarily with another Manitoba school division even though some Small Rural divisions Are steadily declining in numbers. Flin flon is sounding out Neighbour ing Creighton sask., about an innovative Cross Border merger. But there is no sign of any other amalgamation. When the nip announced its plans for widespread mergers four years ago it targeted shrinking divisions of less than 2,000 students. Some of the Small Rural divisions the government inexplicably bypassed in forced Merg ers in the fall of 2002 Are continuing to drop in enrolment such As tiny Turtle 964 Regen Avenue West 1-800-616-6551 lotteries in the event of a discrepancy Between this list and the official winning numbers the latter shall prevail.

River 831 student Turtle Mountain 1,193pine Creek 1,301and Lakeshore 1,365. Bjornson insisted that the government has no plans at this time to Force More mergers on any division. That has to been part of the Dia Logue he said. We be worked hard to mitigate the Impact of declining enrol ment through special Grants. Meanwhile enrolment in Independent schools is up by 39 students Over the year before or 0.3 per cent this year to 14,329. Enrolment had steadily grown in Pri vate schools through the late 1990s As the former conservative government had increased operating Grants. Since the nip froze private school funding at 50 per cent of the per student Grants paid to Public schools enrolment has grown by 83 students in five years. The major shift in private schools has been the growth of the largest Faith based schools often at the expense of smaller schools. Schools such As Linden Christian Faith Academy Calvin Christian Spring Academy holy Cross and the Gray Academy of jewish education have added hundreds of students while seven funded Independent schools have closed in the past five years. As Well 10 inde pendent schools that chose not to take any provincial funding did not report operating in 2004-05, after having classes in 2003-04. Bjornson said he was not aware of changing enrolment patterns in private schools nor was he aware that some schools have closed. Private schools must follow the provincial curriculum and hire certified teachers he said. They do what they do. Our Purview with the Independent schools is quite limited.?.

In the agreement Crocus signed with Vaw the fund promised to use its Best efforts to make the employee owner ship plan happen court records show. But the agreement also gave Crocus the option of holding the debenture ? which paid 10 per cent annual interest ? until 2000. At that time the fund could convert the debt into equity represent ing Between 31 and 33 per cent of Vaw a common shares.

The Sale of Vaw to a group of Manitoba investors whom he would not identify is imminent he said. Jackson said he believes turning the business Over to his employees would have been Best for the future of his com Pany. He was relying on the professed expertise of Crocus in making the employee ownership plan happen particularly in taking advantage of Federal tax Laws he said. Too much time went by for the plan to be implemented before his retirement he said. Jones said employee ownership opportunities Are available to about 25 per cent of employees in companies in which Cro Cus has invested. Speaking generally and not about Vaw Jones said any employee owner ship plan Crocus gets involved in would have to work for the employees it would have to work for the business and it would have to work financially.?. break ins in Hopes of catching them in the act.
