Page 4A The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, February 8, 1995 Sunfest high on fun, short on volunteers KAREN KERKHOFF Sun Staff Sunfest committee members find themselves in a shaky posi- tion after last week's annual gen- eral meeting: the committee still doesn’t have a chair. Sunfest treasurer Hugo Smech- er said the lack of interest from volunteers for the committee, has left Sunfest in an uncertain posi- tion. But Smecher said he is still cautiously optimistic that com- mittee members can find some- one willing to head the organization. Please serid me a copy of the Professional Program Guide 1994-6. NAME ADDRESS city PROVINCE POSTAL CODE “We had’a quorum, but no one was prepared to take on the posi- tion of president. But hell, we'll find a chair, We'll get one.” Smecher said the committee finds itself in the same position year after year of only having a handful of volunteers for the committee “It's sort of disheartening. You sit around the table and see the same four or five who always volunteer.” When pressed, Smecher admits that Sunfest could be in jeopardy if more volunteers don't come forth “If we don’t get a chair by next month, you bet it is (in jeopardy). We do need support to continue, but we aren ‘t going down the tubes yet." Smecher credits past presi- dents Donna Dunlop and Derm Jackman for helping keep Sun- fest alive, saying that six years ago Sunfest found itself saddled with debt. That has now changed, said Smecher. “These two people pitched in and we have come up to where we are now. In fact, this year we've been able to cut back our request from the city.” CMAs won’t survive the ’90s. They’ll MANAGE the 90s.

Mansbridge noted that the ballplayers indicated they want another park, but not at the expense of the trees. She pointed out that the names on the petition were collected in just one week and that the peti- tion is still circulating in the com- munity for those who want to sign it and haven't Mansbridge told The Castlegar Sun, “We want them (council) to consider the wishes of these 1,200 people.” O'Connor thanked Mansbridge for the petition and said it is important for council to hear how residents feel about issues. Adult abuse pilot program launched RON NORMAN Sun Editor If you have experienced adult abuse, neglect or self-neglect, or " know of someone who has, Heather von Iberg wants to hear from you. von Ilberg is coordinator of a special pilot project to investigate adult abuse in the Castlegar area. “My job is to find out who in the community of Castlegar is at risk (and) what situations put them at tisk,” she told The Castlegar Sun in an interview. From there, von Ilberg said a working committee will sit down and try to come up with a workable solution to the problem. The working committee present- ly consists of nine members: five representatives of formal or infor- mal social service agencies and four area residents. She added that any- ‘one is welcome to sit on the com- von Ilberg stresses that any solu- tion will be tailored to the needs of Castlegar-area residents and not determined by outside agencies. Heather von liberg “We have a chance to decide what we want it to look like,”* she said. Communities across the province deal with the problem dif- ferently. For instance, Nelson has a crisis line in place to help victims of adult abuse or neglect. The Castlegar pilot project. is Fee unfair says resident RON NORMAN Sun Editor Castlegar’s newly-introduced garbage fee is unfair, a local resi- dent has charged. “You have been inequitable and have encouraged waste when we are all encouraged to reuse, reduce and recycle,” Jack Yol- land said in a letterat the last ouncil meeting. Though Yolland says he es with the fee, “your meth- ods mean that households with few occupants and/or those who try hard to reduce quantities of waste will subsidize the heavy msers of the garbage service.” « He said he and a neighbor “don't even use one containers, vaveraging one small shopping nag each per week.” Yolland says council can make its system fairer by setting a basit fee-of $35 or $40 which would entitle the household to one container per week. He suggests additional con- tainers would require an addi- tional charge. “I feel it could be handled fair- ly easily if those who wished to “Use more than one container had to bring the extras to a city-desig- nated site to be clearly stencilled with their address and the year.” Mayor Mike O'Connor sug- gested that Councillor Kirk Duff, who sits on the regional waste ment Committee, write to Yolland explaining at about the pro- posed tag-a-bag system. The tag-a-bag system would allow residents to purchase tags to be attached to additional garbage containers, similar to the system Yolland described. Officers looking for poacher The Castlegar District Conser- vation Office is asking for the public’s assistance in apprehend- ing the person responsible for illegally removing antlers from a dead bull elk. The antlerless elk carcass was found off the west side of Rusty Creek logging road near the 19.5 km marker. Conservation officer Ben Sabal said the large six-or seven-point antlers were TA 7 FOODS IN-STORE BAKERY Located Playmor Junction Come in & visit us! sawed off, along with the top portion of the skull. It’s believed that the antlers were removed sometime between Jan. 1 and Jan. 21, 1995. Rusty Creek road is a side road off the Deer Creek Forest Service Road near Dear Park. Sabal reminds residents that it is illegal to possess dead wildlife parts except under authority of a valid licence or permit. RECYCLE Be ca REFU LLY STE © rset tenet ott, totenet funded by the provincial govern- ment and is one of five in B.C It began Jan. 4 and will run for foyr months von Iberg said the focus of the project right now is to “connect with people who have been abused or neglected.” von Iberg points out that she is not there to offer help or counselling, though she can direct those who need help to the proper social service. “This is not an intervention. It is a peoples’ names, just their stories.” What happens after that will be up to the people she interviews. “Whatever comes of this infor- mation will be determined by the people who are using this service,” she says. “The outcome is not prede- termined.” She said the “consumers” will tell her what they think will work and what level of they want. Castlegar e & District As for the types of abuse she is . Hospital looking for, von Ilberg said it can be whatever residents feel is abuse, as long as it involves adults in Castlegar. And she is hoping to hear not only from the abused, but also from. abusers, *T'm listening to everybody.” von Ilberg says posters and brochures will be printed and dis- tributed around town informing res- idents of the project. As well, she plans to have the information trans- lated into Portuguese and Russian to ensure the project is made known to the community's large ethnic populations. von IIberg is willing to explain her Congratulations to all!
