West Kootenay Health Unit .

Adds to Counselling

West Kootenay Health
Unit has recently been able to
augment its counselling ser-
vices according to Ron Came-
ron, director .of the mental
health centre.

The appointment of. Dr.
Roxanne Still as counsellor,
part-time at the Castlegar
offices of the mental health
centre and of Tim Ingram,
counsellor at both Castlegar
and Trail offices, has enabled
the centre to establish a policy’
tailored to meet the needs of
children, adolescents, couples
and families who are having
moderate problems coping with
life.

“This is prevention,” em-

phasized Cameron, “our con-
cern is in helping our clients
before their problems become
major.”

“With our new staff we can
now be in Castlegar on a daily
basis as well as increasing our
hours in Trail.

“We, at the centre, are also
starling a program to deal with
mental problems associated
with the Long-Term Care pro-
gram currently being instituted
in this area. As you know, this
program is aimed at preventing
institutional acute care and we
estimate that about 20 per cent

of health problems of those in |

the long-term care program will
be mental health problems; and
so a posilion has been estab-
lished to meet this need.

“We are fortunate to have
hired Rod Gilmour to work with
those who need our help, both
in their own homes and in a
resideritial setting.

“We also hope to establish
a boarding home, a transitional
stage, al the personal care
level. This home is being
supported by the Knights of
Columbus and the Canadian

40th Commemoration Marked
For USCC Spiritual Leader

USCC Release

“The spirit of Chistiakoff is
not dead, it is very much alive!”
were the words of John J.
Verigin, grandson of the late
Peter P. Verigin (Chistiakoff)
at Verigin’s Tomb at Brilliant,
where he addressed several
hundred people on Feb. 11, who
gathered to commemorate the
40th year of the passing of their
leader.

Verigin, who is honorary
chairman of the Union of Spiri-
tual Communities of Christ,
thanked the people for braving
the weather to atlend the
special ceremony outdoors to
honor the memory of Peter P.
Verigin Chistiakoff. “This lead-

left us much to be
thankful for, He showed us a

Mental Health Association and
we hope it will be operational
within the year.”

life. (Chisti had wanted his

teachings for their own benefit,
Verigin announced that the
coming issue of “Iskra", a
yuscc ication, will be de-

grandson to become a doctor.)

A group of Argenta Friends
(Quakers) also took part in the

voted entirely to the memory of
Chistiakoff, in much the same
manner as a preceding issue
was devoted entirely to the
great Russian writer and friend
of the Doukhobors, Leo Tol-
stoy.

Verigin felt that Chistiak-
off possibly did more for his
people than any other leader
before him. He related that

Chistiakoff encouraged the.

youth to acquire knowledge by
going to school and becoming
Doukhobor professors to lift
high the banner of humanity
and brotherhood under. the
Fatherhood of God.

Verigin stated that it is the
duty of parents to see that the
youth tnderstand this obliga-
tion. If this message will not be
proclaimed by the living, dead
stones shall cry, oul.

At the afternoon session of
the commemoration ceremonies
held at the Brilliant Cultural
Centre, featuring a program
outlined by the Union of Youth
of the USCC, Verigin again
addressed the youth, stressing

_ that Chistiakoffs spirit still

lived in the hearts of the
people, and it will continue to
live, *

He spoke of what Chis-
Uiakoff taught him when he was

young, amongst which was the _

lesson relating to the value of
time. “Money,” Chistiakoff had
said, “can be earned, then spent
and earned again, but time
wasted, can never be turned
back.”
