Funding in place for new
community health centre

Government earmarks almost $3 million for Castlegar building

KAREN KERKHOF

The Ministry of Health is
putting its money where its
mouth is.

Health Minister, Paul Ramsey
announced December 2 that
Castlegar will be getting a new
community health centre and that
$200,000 in funding has already
been approved towards planning
the facility.

“This important community
health facility will be planned by
the Ministry of Health in partner-
ship with local health agencies
and organizations,” said Ramsey.

Jokingly, Ramsey went on to
say that after touring the Central
Kootenay Health Unit he was
more than glad to make the
announcement

“After I saw that a bathroom
had been changed into a staff
lounge I saw the real need.
Bringing community health ser-
vices together will mean better
coordination of resources and a
better level of health care for
people in the Castlegar area.”

One of the ‘New Directions’
mandates is to streamline health-
care with the integration of health

Pcoming trip to the

roy is taking some heat from Slo-
can Valley residents, who feel his
previous comments about chip
truck transportation in the valley
were inappropriate.

In a story published by The
Castlegar Sun last Wednesday,
Conroy was quoted stating the
chip truck transportation issue
could solve itself. Residents of the
Slocan Valley, along with their
MLA Corky Evans, say there are
dangerous trafic problems in the
Slocan Valley as a result of exces-
sive chip trucks travelling through
the corridor. Although Conroy
agrees that something should be
done, he is unsure if barging, or
mega-improvements to highway
infrastructure are the solution.

Before making a major deci-
sion, Conroy said residents of the
area should consider the fact that
the Allowable Annual Cut of har
vested timber will soon be
reduced by at least 20 per cent,
meaning a higher demand for less
wood chips

I can see more chips heading

st to Kamloops and east to
Skookumehuk, leaving Pope and
Talbot to provide chips locally

In this way, continued Conroy
the problem could be solved.

my comments, that’s true. But
when we make decisions, it
shouldn't be until after we. have
all the information.”

New council
contemplates
infrastructure
changes

Castlegar’s new city council
has now assumed control over
city business, and the first issue it
will be dealing with involves pro-
posed changes to sewer and water
installation charges.

According to a Utility Rate
Structure Review, a number of
inconsistencies exist within the
user rate structure for water and
waste. Because federal and
Provincial grants are unlikely, the
review states that future cost
increases will be needed to facili
(ate financing of future capital

said there have only been six
staff members that received lay-
off notices, but refused to. com-
ment on the future potential
number of layoff notices if
retirement packages are not
accepted.

“We really hope to do much of
this through attrition,” said Brown,
who continued to say reductions
in security are also being made, of
people hired specifically to posi-
tions due to the project.

The possibility of a temporary
shutdown still looms over the
mill, despite layoffs and early
retirement offers. Brown and oth-
ers will be attending a meeting in
Vancouver later this week to dis-
cuss with Celgar Pulp owners the
likelihood of a such an action.
