Hydro to pay grants on Keenleyside By SIMON BIRCH Editor B.C. Hydro will begin paying grants in lieu of taxes on its dams and reservoirs in British Columbia, a move that will mean thousands of dollars in additional revenue to the Regional District of Central Kootenay, Castlegar and other West Kootenay municipalities, Minister of State for Kootenay Howard Dirks announced Saturday B.C. Hydro will pay the grants based on a formula of $250 per megawatt of power the dams produce, said Dirks, who made the announcement at a news conference in Nelson on behalf of Municipal Affairs Minister Rita John ston and Energy Minister Jack Davis. In the case of the Hugh Keenleyside and Duncan dams, which do not have generating capacity at this time, the grants will be based on the potential megawatt output, Dirkssaid B.C. Hydro will pay the RDCK $155,303 and the City of Castlegar $40,747 in 1989, Dirks said. Those figures will double next year as the new program is phased in, he added The grants will cost B.C. Hydro $2.4 million this year and $4.7 million 1990 and will then remain at that level, Dirks said. “In total, it means a great deal of money will be flowing from B.C. Hydro to municipalities and regional districts in this area,”’ Dirks said. Dirks said he doesn’t think the grants are a peace of- fering to the four regional districts — including the RDCK that have sued B.C. Hydro over its exemption from paying property taxes on its Columbia River Treaty dams. No, | don’t think it’s an olive branch,”’ he told repor- ers. ‘I think it’s an honest attempt to rectify what was an anomaly and an unjust anomaly at that.”” RDCK chairman George Cady said the RDCK board will deal with the announcement of the grants at its next board meeting May 13 “We are still in Search of equal taxation rights across, the province and I personally can’t seg the four boards changing from that postion,” Cady said, adding that he will meet with his fellow directors from Columbia- Shuswap, Kootenay-Boundary and East Kootenay regional districts this week to discuss their options. “It's a step in the right direction but | think our board and direc- tors on other boards will be adamant ‘they want equal treatment. As far as I’m concerned, at this particular jun- ction the court case continues."* Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore was more optimistic, calling the announcement ‘‘a good beginning and a step in the right direction.”” “This way, the product is being treated in the formula and that may be an excellent way to go,"” Moore said. ““But I'll have to také a look at it. 1 know the city can use the $40,000.""

DARLENE SCHULTZ continued on poge A3 . third candidate Disabled at home may get help By CHERYL CALDERBANK Minister of Social Services and Housing Claude Richmond is looking into the possibility of a program that would provide support to families who raise their disabled children at home. Howard Dirks, Minisjer of State for Kootenay, made the comment Friday &fter members of the Family Support Institute — an arm of British Columbians for Mentally Handicapped People — made a presentation to the Social Credit caucus. Casilegar residents Norma Collier and Catherine Lafortune, members of the institute, were on hand for the presentation. The group's presentation inclided Lafortune, who spoke to the caucus about hey own situation of caring for her 16-year-old handicappe¥ son at home. “They touched a few heart strings,’ Dirks sa}d in an interview. ‘‘They were very well received. They cer- tainly have a wheel of support for something to hap- pen.”’ Dirks said he’s all in favor of such a program. He had previously told Lafortune in a letter that he is con- cerned about whether the federal government would be willing to share the costs of such a program. Dirks said Friday cost-sharing will have to be worked out with the federal government Dirks said he is also concerned about who should participate in such a program. But he said the presen- tation has clarified that question Lafortune said the group is encouraged by Rich- mond’s commitment to explore funding for families “‘I really feel that when a person in (his) position makes a public commitment they can be expected to honor it,” Lafortune said \ “am more hopeful than 1 have been for a long time. | feel that the government has demonstrated some commitment. There’s a commitment there to the point of strengthening the family “We do have wide support among the-caucus;"* Lafortune continued. ‘That's why things are moving in a positive direction for us.”” Meanwhile, the Kootenay Society for the Han: dicapped, the Kootenay Columbia Child Care Society and Castlegar Citizen Advocacy Society are par ticipating in a province-wide petition requesting the government's support for families who raise their disabled children at home A news release from the groups says natural and adoptive families of childrep with disabilities face ex traordinary éxperises to purchase medication, medical equipment and adaptive devices including wheelchairs, special seating, braces and splints Many families also face enormous costs to make their homes barrier free, to acquire wheelchair vans and to pay for travel costs to obtain necessary out-of-town services on a regular basis “The list goes on and on,” says John Lebidoff, presidént of KSH. ‘These costs are not covered by government or private medical plans and-arenot income tax deductible.”" Bud Godderis, president of the KCCCS said. “Caring for children in institutions often reaches $5,000 per month. For a lot less money families can be made stronger and keep their childrén at home.”” Collier, chairman of the Castlegar Citizen Ad- vocacy Group, said, “A B,C. family support program will save government money by preventing costly out- of-home care. It will also prevent family breakdown. Most important, every child will grow and develop with their family.”” Lafortune, a member of the premier’s advisory council for people with disabilities, said ‘it's wonderful that parents are finally beginning to get organized on a provincial level.
