City gets green light to hold paving referendum Local residents will vote Dec. 14 SHARLENE IMROFF Sun Editor It’s official. Castlegar resi- dents will be voting Dec. 14 ona paving referendum which would allow council to borrow $1.3 million in order to begin repairs to city streets. During a special'mecting held by the city Monday, Alderman Lawrence Chernoff stated there had been verbal teach $2.3 million. The money for the first two years will be borrowed if the referendum approving the program passes. The last three years will be paid from the city’s general revenues, The payback period for the borrowed $1.3 million is up to 20 years, thereby spreading the payments out and evening the tax burden on local taxpayers. “We will also be addressing earlier than expected from Victo- ria, stating the city’s proposal had been met with approval by the of h some ms with said Barry Comin, superinten- dent of public works. “This entire sehabitaon program is “Now we are planning to hold 5. The first two years of resurfacing and a public meeting De This will give the residents of Castlegar a chance to give us their thoughts and concerns about the road repairs. We're especially looking for input from will be a catch-up time.” There are a number of reasons why the'city has done very little with the streets in Castlegar in the Chamber of C ce, Seniors’ Association, School Dis- (rise and the Traffic Safety, .. Board," Chernoff said. The rehabilitation program involves a five-year plan which outlines various roads that are in dire need of repair. The total cost of the project is expected to the past—the biggest of which According to Co ld ‘spending between $350 000- $400,000 on road’ repairs ‘every. year. Until very recently, that was unattainable.

The grant, a mere $10,000, would allow the Association the required funds it needs to estab- lish a safe-homé system here in Castlegar. “It's frustrating for us. We've been waiting for this money for quite sometime—meanwhile everything is on hold,” said Patri- cia Lakes, vice-chairperson for the Women’s Association. One reason for the delay is the current upheaval within the Min- istries due to the recent NDP provincial audit. While Lakes wishes the process would quick- en, she does support the audit and the close examination of women's issues by the govern- 1. “Violence against women can involve three different ministries; Health, Social Services and the Attorney/Solicitor General. I think the fact they are taking a closer look at Women’s Issues i is a good thing.” The process of examination however, is indeed a lengthy one. Even local RCMP are advocat- ing the idea of a safe-home sys- tem in Castlegar—something which they say is desperately needed.

The idea for a victim services program came out of a casual discussion between Sangster and a friend. It was then that Sangster decided, “It would be good if Castlegar started a localized pro- Operating under the direction of a local police department, a police based victim ‘assistance program is a support service for victims of crime. The program is accountable and responsive to the police and is located within the detachment building. The proposed program for Castlegar would involve only one full-time staff member, with the remaining services provided by volunteers. “It’s basically a volunteer pro- gram,” said Coordinator of Trail’s police based victim assis- tance program Kay Medland, who is acting as a consultant for the proposed Castlegar program. “I’m helping to get it started but once. it’s established I'll have no involvement.” said Medland. “This program would be really worthwhile in your area.” Victims of all types of crimes can be referred to the program, including crimes of assault, sexu- al assault, wife assault, robbery; break and enter, serious motor vehicle accidents, fraud and theft.
