10-Bed Grand Forks Facility

Centre Dedicated

Some 850 guests were in
attendance for last Thursday
afternoon's ceremonies at the
new residence for handicapped
adults at the Broadacres
Achievement Centre in Grand
Forks.

The half-hour program of
formalities to mark the opening
of the $225,000, 10-bed facility

and the following year the first
workshop was opened in an old
house on the site. Architect
John Woodworth of Kelowna
was commissioned in 1972 to
draw plans for the residence
and formal application to pro-
vincial human resources de-
partment was made in 1974.
(In the meantime, work

a project which had its begin-
nings in August of 1972.

Judy Lloyd, president of
Grand Forks and District So-
eiety for the Handicapped—the
group that spearheaded the
project—introduced a number
of special guests and digni-
taries. e

Among them was Lincoln
Sandner, a past president of the
Society, who reviewed its
history, growth and activities
from early beginnings in the
mid-1960s in a trailer in west
Grand Forks, to its present
location and facilities on Carson
Road.

The §.43-acre Broadacres
property was purchased in 1971

was inui on an old
vegetable storage building on
the property, which was con-
verted into the present. A-
chievement Centre and opened
in 1975.)

The human resources min-
istry provided a tota! of $100,-
000 in grants towards the
capital cost of the residence,
and is also paying for operating
costs through a daily rate of
$23.69 per resident, for an
annual operating cost of ap-
proximately $86,500.

Grand Forks Mayor Sugi-
moto was among the other
guests who addressed the
gathering briefly, expressing
thanks to those who worked
hard to establish the residence.

Wood-Waste Fuel
Study Now Complete

The completion of a study
which examined the commer-
cial feasibility of a gasifier
producing fuel gas from wood-
waste, was announced last
week by B.C. Energy Com-
mission chairman Norman Gish.

The study was commis-
sioned by the B.C. Wood-Waste

“Energy Coordinating Commit-

tee, which is chaired by Gish

available to any interested
party.

The feasibility study of the
gasifier is one of a series of

‘studies sponsored by the B.C.

Wood-Waste Energy Coordina-
ting Committee, which was set
up last year to foster the re-
search and’ development of
energy-generation using Bri-
tish Columbia's extensive

awards. At 15 hours, a crest—
designed by Mrs. Doris Sween-
ey, a former convener for the
Candy Stripers and now used
throughout B.C.—is given. At
50 hours; a cap is given. A
silver candy cane pin repre-
sents 60 hours and bars ‘are
added for 100, 150 and 200

Forest Industries,

The study, based on a pilot
model developed by B.C. Re-
search and undertaken by H. A.
Simons (International) Ltd.,
estimated that the cost re-
quired to build a prototype of a
commercial gasifier would be
about $1 million for a 30 million
Btu (British thermal unit) per
hour system,

“The technology looks
promising,” said Gish. “We are
hopeful that the next stage of
development will be under-
taken by a commercial firm
working with B.C. Research to
further demonstrate the pros-
pects of this new energy tech-
nology.”

“We recognize, however,

that the capital requirements
appear high, and considerable

liquor for which he was fined
$50 and one for driving without
insurance for which he was
fined $25,

needs to be done.”

Government Corporation
Eyes Autumn Public Issue

If all goes well, the B.C.
Resources Investment Crop.
will make its first public issue
of shares early this fall, presi-
dent David Helliwell said last
week.

“We haven't yet finalized
our capital structure with the
government, and to a large
degree the outcome of this will
have a tremendous effect on
what we can offer individual
investors," he said in an
address to the annual meeting
of the Vancouver Society of
Financial Analysts.

“If we are successful in at-
taining a favorable capitaliza-
tion of the government's
equity, I believe it will be
possible to go to the public for
up to $100 million of share
capital.”

At present the provincial
government is the sole share-
holder in BCRIC, which was
formed earlier this year to take
over the government's holdings
in Canadian Cellulose Co, Ltd.,
Westcoast Transmission Co.
Ltd., Plateau Mills Ltd. and
Kootenay Forest Products
Ltd., plus petroleum and na-
tural gas rights on 2.3 million
acres in north-eastern B.C.

The package of assets was
given a value of $151.5 million
on being transferred to BCRIC.

Helliwell said it had not
been decided .what type of
security would be offered to the
public. “A non-dividend-paying
common stock would be pre-

ferable, but it might not be
practical to offer shares that do
not provide some dividend in-
come to investors,” he added.

The government has in-
dicated that it would retain less
than 50 per cent of BCRIC's
equity after the initial public
issue.

The corporation is getting
a legal opinion on whether its
charter requires’ that B.C.
residents be given priority in
purchasing its shares. Helliwell
suggested, however, that there
could be an advantage in
broader distribution of the
shares to help in maintaining a
stable after-market.

In his first public address
since taking office three months
ago, Helliwell said BCRIC had
not yet been able to gauge the
oil and gas-bearing prospects of
its lands, However, he said, Bob
Currie, formerly vice-presi-
dent, land and administration,
with Panarctie Oils Ltd., will
join the corporation shortly.

-“He will be able to respond
to the many inquiries and
proposals we have already re-
ceived for development. of our
acreage ... But we will first
have to make some critical
tactical decisions about how we
will deal, Clearly, some lands
are more prospective than
others.” :

Helliwell said the 100 per
cent-owned Plateau Mills Ltd.,

dried dimension lumber located
near Vanderhoof in central
B.C., is enjoying excellent sales
and earnings and 1978 could be

Creston Student's Suicide
Draws Widespread Concern

Last fall, a national maga-
zine published a story about
Creston woman whose teen-
aged son committed suicide,

The boy, his mother dis-
covered later, had been de-
pressed over his inability to
cope with his school work—a
handicap his family did not
know he had.

Since then, there has been
a flood of response throughout
the province. The Vancouver
Association for Children with
Learning Disabilities has been
swamped with letters from
parents and teachers, along
with case histories of children
with learning problems,

Just one week after the

of the tests or the experts’
findings,

Robens recommended that
school personnel be made
aware of resources for the
learning-disabled, that school
districts develop and expand
their services to deal with
learning problems, and that
there be increased communica-
tion between the schools, the

‘families and outside agencies

that can help.

School districts and par-
ents, however, are becoming
increasingly aware of the sever-
ity and extent of learning dis-
abilities. At its recent annual
meeting, the B.C. Home and
School Federation passed a

lution urging school boards

article appeared, the
volunteer-run VACLD had
heard from people in 66 B.C.
communities wanting to know
where to get help for their
children, and the calls and let-
ters continue to come in. Com-
plaints range from language
and mathematics problems, to
hyperactivily, to speech dif-
ficulties.

Anneliese Robens, a Uni-
versity of B.C. education pro-
fessor, has analysed the re-
sponse, noting the B.C. School
system's deficiencies in dealing
with children with learning dis-
abilities.

She found that most par-
ents and many teachers are not
aware of resources in their own
communities that can help
diagnose and treat the learning-
disabled.

In schools where psycholo-
gical and learning-assistance
experts were on staff or where
students were given diagnostic
tests, Robens reported, chil-
dren still were not guaranteed

follow-up services to correct *

their problems.

Too often, she said, chil-
dren were simple labelled “ner-
vous”, “lazy” or “slow learn-
ers”, and parents were not told

to set up diagnostic centres for
children about to enter kinder-
garten.

In Langley,
board and local health unit have
done just that. Schools super-

nounced in early April that all
