OBITUARIES

Rhonda Lee Myers

Rhonda Lee Myers of Genelle,
formerly of Castlegar, passed
away Wednesday, Jan. 18, 1995 at
the age of 25 years.

Rhonda was born Sept. 6, 1969
in Castlegar. She grew up and
received her schooling here. She
worked as a locksmith and for the
past year was employed as a clerk
at the Mohawk service station.

She enjoyed country music. her
two dogs and cat, and being with
people

She is survived by two brothers
and a sigter-in-law, Jim Myers of
Egmontép and Pau! and Margaret
Myers of Edriooton; ong sitter
and brother-in-law,'Melony and
Terry McVicar of Ed: one

“hard to reach”.

The program, Parents Assist
Learning and Schooling, or
PALS, is funded in part by the
Stay In School Initiative, and
will provide parents with
resources to assist their children
in learning.

Turner told trustees that
parental involvement is essential
in enabling children to become
solid students and eventually
solid citizens.

“We hope that by getting par-
ents involved we can make that
difference. Parents need to under-
stand the important role they play
in their children’s education.”

The women explained that
PALS workshops will be conduct-
ed free by volunteers. The pair
asked the board for support by

O'Brien, could also be used for
summer activities, such as bas-
ketball or rollerblading

Though cement for the rink
hasn’t been laid yet, a temporary
skating area has already been
well-used by skaters young and
old alike until recent warm weath-
er reduced the rink to a puddle.

“Hordes would be the word I
would use,” said O* Brien. “And
they're not just from the Pass

FOR ANTI-VIOLENCE PROJECT

Community services gets $6,000

KAREN KERKHOFF
Sun Staff

Castlegar and District Commu-
nity Services is $6,000 richer
thanks to the Ministry of
Women’s Equality.

In making the announcement,
Equality Minister Penny Priddy
said the grant is to be used to
increase awareness of violence
against women and to improve
crisis counseling services for
abused women in the area.

Jane Arnott, administrator for
Castlegar Community Services
said the money will be used to
produce and distribute “Stopping
the Violence” pamphlets and cri-
sis information cards printed in
Russian, English and Portuguese

The funding, explained Amott,
will be used to hire someone to
coordinate the project, who will
then work with smaller groups

issues of violence within the
community. The coordinator will
then report the findings to Com-
munity Services.

“They will look at the issues of
violence and tell us what services
they need.”

Castlegar Community Services
is a non-profit organization, so
Arnott said the infusion of the
grant will go a long way in fight-
ing violence against womeg in
the area.

“This funding “gives us
what’s needed to get this piece
of work done.”

Rossland-Trail MLA Ed Con-
roy said the grant is valuable in
that it will be used towards ser-
vices which help combat violence
against women.

“Education and support pro-
grams and services are key to
stopping violence against women.
This project will increase oppor-
tunities for non-English speaking

women in our community to
know what services are available
and how to access these services
in times of need.”

The funding is one of 21 Stop-
