Each month we will be fea- turing one of the Agencies that we support. As well, we will be presenting information about the United Way, Our column will appear in The Castlegar Sun the first issue of each month. With the help of The Castlegar Sun's input and assistance, it has now been made possible for us to keep our community updated on United’ Way activities. Our feature Agency this month is The Canadian Red Cross. ee March is. Red Cross month across Canada and the President of the Castlegar Branch, Kirk Duff, hopes people in town will think about this in practical terms. According to Duff? “Most people do recognize the Red Cross symbol, but when asked what it represents, we usually hear something about blood. We'd like people in Castlegar to know that we are more than blood service.” In‘addition to collecting more than 360 units of blood in Castlegar last year, 67 volun- teers (with some support for the Kootenay Region office, based in Castlegar) were busy in many other services. Duff reports that 120 people attended educational meetings on Local Red Cross looks for support United Way 7.2%." Castlegar District the international work of the Red Cross, it primary purpose, Volun- teers assisted 10 families in worldwide searches for relatives in Canada and abroad and thou- sands of dollars were raised for relief in Somalia and the former Yugoslavia. The local pool enroled more than 900 stu- dents in Red Cross swim- ming courses and more than 500 Castlegar and area peo- ple attend Red courses. Through the branch office in the Sandman Inn wheelchairs, walkers and other pieces of health care equipment are loaned by volun- teers, at no charge to clients. More than 100 clients used the service last year. “We aren’t simply staying with our traditional services either,” said Duff. “We've worked hard to recruit people for the unrelated bone marrow registry and are moving forward on a Child Abuse Prevention Program for Adolescents, which we hope to offer to area schools next year.” Duff stressed that the Red Cross needs more than blood Without the support of the Unit- ed Way and other fund raising support such as the Jim Young Celebrity Golf Tournament, ser- vices would be curtailed. In addition, volunteers with any amount of time to offer are always welcome Wednesday, March 3, 1993 The Cast legar Sun Playin’ the Blues—grade eight student Sonja Konkin and the rest of the Kinnaird Middle School band entertained parents and teachers during their Winter Band Concert, held last Thursday at the school's gymnasium. SUN STAFF PHOTO / Sharlene Imhoff Obituaries Alice Marie Hicks Page 5A Slocan Valley residents asked to comment on chip truck traffic Should Celgar invest $ Nelson Daily News Slocan Valley residents opened their mailboxes this weekend to find themselves enmeshed in a controversy concerning quality of life and are being asked to stand up and be counted. At issue, according newsletter published by the Slo- can Valley Watershed Alliance, is whether Highway #6. should be an industrial corridor or a rural highway and whether Celgar should be asked to invest ani addi- tional $18 million in barge facili- ties to make sure than happens. The alliance says that daily more than 51 chip trucks, en route to Celgar’s pulp mill in Castlegar, pass between the Slo- can mill and South Slocan, “If CP Rail is allowed to sus- pend its remaining operations in the valley, these numbers will increase even further, since trucks will then be transporting lumber as well as chips.” Apparently, two suggestions have been brought forward in the Chip Transportation Study done by Ward Consulting Group, says the newsletter. to a 18 million in barging? “AT public meetings held in New Denver and Appledale Dec 8 and 9, the consensus by consul (ants, government officials and community participants was Alternative 6: Chip transport by barge from Shelter Bay with chip 'ransport from Slocan mill by rail Alternative 4 Chip transport by barge from Shelter Bay and truck from Slocan. Mill would Still leave the southern end of the valléy with 33 chip trucks per day, plus additional lumber trucks that would result if CP Rail Sus- Pended operations.” The alliance says the continued Presence of CP Rail in the valley is clearly vital to the barge/rail alternative Public input is critical, says the alliance. “If we are silent, the Minister of T Transportation may well conclude that people of the Slocah Valley want Highway #6 upgraded to carry an increased amount of heavy industrial traffic “If that is the Ministry's per- ception, then the government will be unlikely to put money towards nor will it encourage Celgar to invest $18 million into barge facilities.” ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION Branc’ Need help with your advertising?
