Along with Vice-Chairman Bernice Kavic, Treasurer Dave Gairns, Secretary Jane Lippa and Directors Rosie Llewellyn-Thomas, Norbina Oglow and Yvonne Potapoff, Nance will guide the multi-ser- vice agency through another year of operation. In her annual report, she noted the Agency's budget for 1994-95 was $474,000, the majority of which came from various provincial government ministries to provide the wide range of services offered to chil- dren, youth, adults and families in this community. The balance of funds comes from the United Way, the City of Castlegar, the Regional District, donations and membership fees. New programs begun in the last year are: Safe Home System, counselling for Children Who Witness Abuse and Youth Out- reach. Some shorter term pro- jects were also completed including an Anti-Violence Ini- tiative, the development of an Information Package and Resource Directory for the Vic- tim’s Assistance Program and an Outreach Social Worker. Ongo- ing programs include Advocacy, Alcohol and Drug counselling, Community Support (for mental health consumers), Family Sup- port Worker, General Coun- selling, parenting courses, Community services elects new executive School Based Prevention, Sexual Abuse Intervention, Youth Out- reach, Victim's Assistance, Safe Home System, and Women's Assault Support Services. In addition, the Agency con- tinues to work with other groups and agencies in the community to support better coordination of services, thus avoiding duplica- tion of services, and to promote the development of additional resources for the community. Since some of the Agency’s ‘ograms are funded by the Min- istry of Health, Castlegar and District Community Services Society is being affected by the regionalization of health services. Over the next year, the agency will discuss how it and its ser- vices fit within the new health service system. An issue of concern for the board over the past year has been securing adequate, affordable space for the agency’s operations. It was successful in obtaining a longer-term lease for its present facility, along with an improved heating system with air condition- ing. Plans are underway for con- tinued improvements to the offices and applications has been made to various funders for help in com- pleting the necessary renovations. Board meetings are held 7 pm on the third Wednesday of each month. Any interested persons are welcome to attend.

Legion does a lot Last Friday, I and a number of other veterans, sat down to dinner at the Castlegar Legion Hall, guests once again of the Royal Branch 170 Women’s Auxiliary. This annual dinner is an entirely voluntary and generous gesture which the Legion ladies offer for the servicemen and = service- women of the community each year just before Remembrance Day. Because the hospitality was of the warmest, the dinner was most excellent and the company most convivial, it was deeply appreciated. It went beyond hospitality and appreciation. It embraced both the real and symbolic significance of both Remembrance Day and the work Legion and the Auxiliary do SHOULDER who sat down to that dinner and sang the old songs around that Piano, represented service person- nel from more than one country who had seen action in a score of times and places and branches of the Armed Services from the sec- ond World War to the near present But they all sat as equals. There were others, invisi- ble at that din- ner, who had not outlived their particular day or who had passed away in the interval between then and now. But they would be remembered by this company of their brothers, by their families, and by their larger family, the Royal Canadian Legion, for all time.

But as more and more families choose to cruise with children in tow, Cruise lines are moving in fast to meet demand with family-oriented Sailings. Cruising with children can give you a memorable vacation without some of the headaches of other kinds of holidays. But there are some important points to consider if your next family getaway will be a yaterborne one First, do your research. Your travel agent here in Castlegar can help you choose the cruise best suited for your family. Some cruise lines work hard to accommodate children, and ships are outfitted with young travellers in mind. Other companies may claim to welcome kids in their brochures, but frown on them in the flesh. Just as adults wouldn't feel right on an ocean liner decked out with life-size Warner Brothers char- acters, your children won't fit in on an adult-oriented cruise. Shop around for a family-oriented ship that will help you feel at home. You'll also be able to decide for yourself how your children will be supervised, and how often. Options on board a cruise ship range from straight babysitting to fun-and-games educational programs. Activity Programs such as these typi- cally are included in the price of the cruise. Other lines provide sched- uled diversions for children, but offer daycare or babysit- ting at an hourly rate during other times of the day while you swim, snooze or see the sights on shore. Be sure to ask your travel agent to check costs in advance so you will know exactly what onboard expenses you’ ll be facing. Read the fine print to make sure your kids are eligible for this form of travel. Some companies prohibit children under the age of two for safety reasons; while others, such as “windjammer” sailing trips, usual- ly do not accept those younger than 12. Selecting the right cruise can also affect the overall cost of your vacation. If you have a large family, choose one that allows kids to PORTS OF CALL CONNIE Motz travel for a reduced fare.
