Long term plan- ning for the City of Castlegar involves a number of inter-re- lated steps that will pele’ the re ey, reach its objectives. © 3 These steps are out- The Ci ty Voice lined below: The Comprehensive Development Plan completed in September 1991 was the first-step. It identified potential growth patterns (i.e. north versus south) and their impact on our present services as well as the financial impacts of growth were defined. While the CDP identified issues involving growth, it is the Official Community Plan that defines the communities ob- jectives, for growth and within existing areas. The OCP is the city’s expression of policy on matters such as land use, trans- portation, servicing, economic development and recreation. Our OCP is presently being updated because of changes that have occurred in the last few years. It was last updated in 1988. The OCP needs to be updated every five years. Capital ex- penditures must be consistent with the OCP. The Five Year Capital Expenditure Program is updated each year as part of the normal budget process. The Program is developed and/or based on current development initiatives (consistent with the OCP), service needs and infrastructure upgrading (identified in CDP). The current year is definitive regarding projects and costs, subsequent years as less definitive the further into the five year projection. The final step in long range planning is the preparation of developments are modeled based on OCP policies and infras- tructure upgrading identified in the CDP. The financial model will allow the City to ask “What if?” questions for policy changes. It will determine the tax impacts and the city’s financial po- sition relative to those changes. Long range planning documents need to be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure they reflect the current objectives of the community. a Strategic Financial Plan. Both current and potential future |, Wi Water, not hunger, is the Third World’s biggest killer John A. Charters Rotary guest speaker, Rotarian from Kelow- na and retired missionary Bill Bettschen calls the work ‘people helping people to help them- selves’. The Hope, International Development Agency which he represents calls it Extending Christ’s Compassion to the neglected poor.” The central concern of our all-Canadian mainly volunteer group, said Bettschen, is wa- ter. Water, not hunger, is the biggest killer in the Third World and 80 per cent of child deaths are due to water-borne diseases. Our job, therefore, is helping people dig deep wells, create irrigation systems, purify reser- voirs and create fish ponds — to grow food. There is an old Chinese proverb, he said: “Give a hungry man a fish today and tomorrow he will be hungry again. Teach him to fish and he will be fed for life.” é We teach illiterate people what to do by showing them since to give them money is to waste it. Since most of our 7,000 workers are volun- teers, we are able to put 94 cents of every dollar into showing people what to do. And once start- ed, they do remarkably well for they all have green thumbs, particularly in India, where they can make gardens out of gravel pits. Part of the education-by-demonstration in- volves overcoming prejudice. They refused to drink water from the deep wells because “we can see through it and therefore it must be poi- sonous”. : “Why, then, can white people drink the clear water?” “Because,” came the answer, ‘they grew up with it and it doesn’t affect them.” The difficulty was resolved when a high chief, after testing it on his number three wife for several days, tried it and pronounced it safe to drink. HOPE, which began in 1975 with a handful of concerned people, has increased to 1,700 vol- unteers and operates in the poorest parts of are matched by Ro- tary International and this, in turn, is matched by the Canadian Interna- tional Development Agency. Of these monies 7.6 per cent is used in administration, fundraising and de- velopment -educa- f i tion. The balance, 92.4 per cent, is used in and for the the devel- opment programs in the Third World. ~~ Bettschen completed his talk with a brief slide program of work being done and the re- markable progress achieved. Roger Plant, in thanking the speaker, summed up the Rotary Club reaction with: “It is incredible what a few dedicated people, working together can do by teaching the way to Bill Bettschen In the business part of the meeting the club heard a brief farewell address and received a banner from popular Japanese Rotary ex- change student Mogume Hirosi, who after a year’s study in Castlegar, leaves for home on 23. President Lach Farrell, in bidding him farewell, told him that he had contributed rich- ly to the life of the community and was a cred- it to his country and his sponsoring club. Farrell also announced that the club is sup-. porting the 1992 Sunfest with the annual pan- cake breakfast and is sponsoring Miss Jeanette Kitchen in the Queen Contest. Castlegar will, as well, send representatives to the Rotary District Conference in Creston on May 28 to 31, where former federal cabinet minister Iona Campagnolo will be one of the keynote speakers. She is widely sought as a “speaker on world development, health care ed- ucation, equality for women and many other topics. Castlegar’s talent achieves .

Red Cross volunteers in the Kootenay Region would like people to think of more than blood when they think of the Red Cross. A Canada-wide survey re- cently indicated that the Canadian Red Cross Society was the most recognized char- ity in Canada, but that its blood service was, for many surveyed, the only known pro- gram. According to Cindy Corrig- an, President of the Kootenay Region Red Cross: “The Soci- ety actually operates five man- dated services in every juris- diction in the country, includ- ing the East and West Koote- nay. “Those five areas are inter- national services, which in- cludes fundraising for relief appeals and development work, education and a family tracing service; the blood ser- vice, which now includes the bone marrow registry; emer- gency services, including as- sistance to victims of house fires; water safety services; and first aid and CPR train- ing.” ‘...We sure wouldn’t mind if they thought about the other humanitarian work we: do as well.’ — Cindy Corrigan With support from six staff based in a regional office in Castlegar, almost 600 volun- teers across the Kootenay area are active in 22 communities. Corrigan said that all five services are being provided, but there is a need for more volunteers, particularly as re- lated to international services. She added that in this area the Red Cross also runs 14 sickroom equipment loan ser- vice depots, which provide health equipment for up to three months at no charge; a fun ’n’ fitness for seniors pro- gram and a child abuse pre- vention program through the schools. March is Red Cross month across Canada and volunteers in the Kootenay are working to let people know what the Red Cross is all about and how they can get involved. There are blood donor clin- ics in Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Cranbrook and Fernie — all can use more volunteers. “We don’t want people to forget about the need for blood,” Corrigan said, “but we sure wouldn’t mind if they thought about the other hu- manitarian work we do as well.” ; ;
