CASTLEGAR NEWS, June 14, 1981 Lack of f grants concern to society Lack of grants was an item of concern when the West Kootenay Doukhobor Histor- ical Society held its recent business meeting, Since the society operates on a very limited budget and ‘depends mainly on volunteer labor and visitors’ admission fees, {t was with regret that word had been received the grant for the disabled had been cancelled. Nor has there been any word on a federal employment grant. However, two students, Tim Richards and Sari Sa- ther, have been hired as guides through a provincial youth employment grant, The society’s committee: were confirmed and include: Building and grounds com- mitted; P.

Municipal Affairs Minister Bill Vander Zalm has an- nounced Cabinet approval of regulations which will pro- vide ‘an additional Home Owner Grant of up to $250 to handicapped home owners whose disabilities significant, ly interfere with normal daily _ lifes“ ‘Fegardless oft ome. Previously only capped GAIN recipients were eligible for the addi- tional grants. The maximum value of the basic Home Owner Grant is $880. Recipients of the addi- tional $250 grant may obtain as much as $630, however. As many as 3,000 disabled peo- ple may be affected by the extended benefits. ‘This extension will be ac- complished through a regu- lation which will establish a new definition of disability. Under this definition, a phy- sically disabled person is one who “satisfies the collector on the certificate of a medical practioner that he has a per- manent physical disability which is sufficiently severe’ that he is likely to require either physical assistance or costly environmental modi- fications in order to manage normal daily functioning in the hom Tt is anticipated that a” potentially eligible tax payer will obtain a blank certificate from the municipal author- ities, ask his doctor to com- plete it and submit to any examination the docgot may think necessary, pay the doc- tor and tender the completed form to the municipal author- ities. The form will be a very simple one, consisting of little more than the definition cited above, along with necessary spaces for names, addresses and signatures. . Because of the timing of the new legislation and reg- ulations, many municipalities VANCOUVER (CP) — The car screeched to a halt, three masked men jumped out — some witnesses said one was armed with a gun — grabbed a ae and the car sped rhe kid did yell and he- sounded concerned,” said Don Livingstone, an eye- Binet, “people around just and stared, they* couldn't believe what was have printed their tax notices using last year's home owner grant information, and omit- ting any reference to the new eligibility for disabled per- sons.

Léaves theatre ‘as crowd boos OTTAWA (CP).— Four- month-old Patrick O'Connor broke ‘a provincial law as he. slept in his father's arms and paid for his crime. He was thrown out of the Nelson Theatre because Out- land, the movie scheduled, is restricted to persons 18 and over under the Ontario The- atres Act.
