Castleaird Plaza _ CWoiceof the Peorle Editor, Castlegar Newa: Your report (Nov. 23, 1978) on the topic of alcohol coun- selling service {s of interest to the ACCESS Management Committee and staff. We are in agreement with the outlined need for increased service to residents of the Castlegar area, However, seve- ral issues were raised, Perhaps responded to on a “maybe ina week Thursday basis,” 4, There have been three * regional management meetings following a summer recess and the June 21 meeting reported, Also, one of these meetings were held in Castlegar. None of these has been attended by any Castlegar representatives. 5, Of the three Castlegar one has moved the will provide the clarification re- quested, 1, ACCESS is funded on a yearly. basis as are most gov- ernment agencies. Preliminary budget estimates have been submitted for the 1979-80 fiscal year. The Alcohol and Drug from the area, one has recently submitted a resignation and the other has not, to date, stated intention to continue or resign. 6, At no time has the issue of service need unresponded to three counsellors in this, the second year of operation, ‘It is somewhat bewildering that a proposal for funding be submitted to the Alcohol and Drug:Commission without con- sultation of the Access Manage- ment Committee or its staff, It is quite clear that the most likely route to staff, and this service increase, to the area would be accomplished by supporting the efforts of the regional Access Management Committee rather than by sub- mitting a separate proposal. At this time there is one, possibly two, vacancies on the Per- been raised at the committee. If the need is of de as to require a has a strong committment to pro- viding ongoing service to the West Kootenay region. 2. One day per week (not “two hours”) service has been provided in Castlegar. More time is available when service demand would indicate a need for increased time. 3. Noone calling ACCESS in a state of stress has been City Works Dept. Marks Busy Year A total of 91 requests received, checked and correct- ed marked a busy year for Castlegar's works and services department, according to the city works supervisor's year- end report. Presented to city council last week, Alex Lutz’s report said the 91 problems received by the city included 18 in- volving drainage problems, 24 involving snowplow damage, 17 involving snow removal and 32 requests for approval of drive- ways. City crews also carried out normal maintenance of city streets and lanes, including sweeping, washing, patching, grading, shouldering, and boule- vards and used 1,196 cubic yards of crushed gravel, 767 of pit run gravel and 168.5 of topsoil as well as 140.75 tons of hot mix asphalt. Included along with normal sidewalk repair was construc- tion of asphalt lift on Seventh Avenue South as well as a portion of Third Avenue North and Pine Street North, and lowering of curbs for wheel- chairs. Used in sidewalk main- tenance were 202.60 tons of asphalt hot mix, 29.5 cubic yards of crushed gravel and 85 of pit run gravel as well as 20 cubic metres of concrete. South and Meadowbrook Drive. Work on the Milestone Road storm sewer was expected to be completed this week, The city required 629 cubic yards of sand and 503 bags of salt for plowing and sanding a total snowfall of 4.59 feet as of Nov. 22 this year. The first plowing for the 1978 to 1979 winter season was on Nov. 16. A total of 75 requests and inquiries concerning street- lighting were received and re- ferred to West Kootenay Power and Light Co. Ltd. and three new lights were installed at Sixth Avenue South, one at Willow Street North, and ano- ther at First Avenue North. Seven requests and in- quiries concerning sanitary sewers were received and cor- rected this year as city crews conducted normal maintenance and repair of the complete sewer systems and installed 25 sue proposal for funding it seems that this is the appropriate forum for representatives and/ or concerned citizens to do so. The history of ACCESS dates to 1975 when a committee analysed service need in Nel- son. Through the Nelson Dis- trict Community Resource So- ~eiety a proposal for funding a program with three counsellors (for Nelson alone) was sub- mitted to the Alcohol and Drug Commission. After some delay funding was approved for the fiscal year 1977-78. Two counsellors were hired for that year with the understanding that Trail and Castlegar also be serviced. Also, a committment was made to increase staff if need was Thus, the sons interested in serving on the committee would be wel- come, Other information about, or requests for, service can be obtained from ACCESS staff by (1) calling 364-4121 (collect) or (2) by writing to 885 Baker St., Nelson, or by contacting local representatives. We welcome any sugges- “tions on how the existing ser- vice can be improved and support for our efforts. to secure funding for additional staff.

United Way Campaign Termed Disappointing United Way Release The campaign for Castle: gar's United Way fund has been disappointing this year, having achieved only 71 per cent of the target: amount, to date, The sad fact is that it is not the labor unrest, which exists at this time, that is the cause of this shortfall, There seem to be two main reasons for the dis- appointing result, First, it appears that too many people who are canvassed at their door, still regard this as a community “blitz” by one organization, rather than what it actually is — a once-a-year collection of donations for ap- proximately 40 different or- ganizations that need some financial support, The second serious mis- take in understanding what a united fund really is, lies with organizations that still regard it as some kind of foundation with money to distribute to worth- while, non-profit organizations; and that all a society has to do is apply for funds and, if it presents a sound-enough case for its projects, it will receive favorable response to its appli- cation. The United Way Fund is, perhaps, the largest community co-operative project in exis tence for, by assisting so many organizations, it alds every person in the district — from pre-school-age children, to se- nior citizens; from some form of recreational activity, to life- support services, But, in order for all or- ganizations to recelve help, all organizations must help — by supplying canvassers to help collect the money. Castlegar is not a depressed area; the target figure of $60,000 is not an impossible figure for us to achieve, together! This year, many areas of North and South Castlegar were not canvassed at all, because there were not enough volunteers to do the job. Everyone's contribution is vital. If you were missed in the door- to-door canvass, please send your donation to The United Way, P.O. Box 3267, It would be a much-appreciated help. All donations are tax. deductible, and receipts will be mailed to you.
