Murray Garvin Child abuse program 10th anniver Submitted ——— “Behind each statistic there is a child. She or he may be you. She or he may be your child...your sibling...your friend, You cannot protect her or him until we can pro- tect all children.”—quote from “I Never Told-Anyone” by E. Bass and C. Thornton “My father used to abuse me. I though everyone knew- but no one could do anything about it. I can’t tell you how much I wish I had seen this even two years ago.”—remark of a 17-year-old sary Service Award from the Insti- tuté- for the Prevention of Child Abuse, Ontario in 1989 and again in 1994, According to Chris MacPherson, Program Coordi- nator, “The Red Cross Koote- nay Region has only been offering CAPPA presentations since March 1994, but in that time has reached about 750 stu- dents and 19 community groups. We have 16 volunteers in nine different communities, with the demand for presenta- tions continually growing.” MacPherson said that an important boy after attend- ing a CAPPA workshop. marks the 10th anniversary of the Red Cross Child Abuse ‘In one- or two-hour part of CAPPA is the Dating Violence Prevention Program. This pro- gram pre- pares young Prevention Pro- gram for Adolescents. This . program sends screened, highly-trained volun- teers into the community to talk to young people and adults who are close to them about an issue that affects all of us—abuse. The response has been out- standing. Young people are clearly willing-even anxious—to dis- cuss these issues in an open, non-threatening environment. people to deal with the problem of dating vio- lence; emotional, physical, and sexual assault. Young people are helped to recognize the clues of assaultive behaviour and taught prevention skills. ‘The Red Cross will offer Dating Violence training to current volunteers during early spring of this year and will then be prepared to offer ions in addition In oné-or-two-hour teens are taught to recognize physical, emotional and sexual abuse and encouraged to seck help if they have been or are currently being victimized. The sessions also explore family life issues in an effort to foster an understanding of the Stresses and detharids inherent in parenting. ® These presentations are endorsed by the provincial Ministry of Social Services and Hoysing, and the B.C. Medical Association. CAPPA was awarded the Canadian Red Cross Outstand- ing Community Service Award in 1987 and the Distinguished vention Presentations. To ensure continued success of this program, MacPherson is appealing to the public for financial assistance. “As overall government funding of programs tightens, the need to requeSt assistance frotn corporations, businesses and the public increases,” says MacPherson. “The Red Cross provides an opportunity for those people wanting to contribute to chang- ing the attitudes and actions toward child abuse but don’t have the training or time avail- able to do so.” Wednesday, January 18, 1995 The Castlegar Sun CATS: you just can't ignore them John Charters tells of his own experience with his favorite cat When I play with my cat, who knows whether I do not provide more amusement for her than she does for me? Seigneur Michel Eyguem Montaigne: Essay Cats! Many may love them, some may hate them, but it is a rare individual who can ignore them entirely. Self-p d and ered with his purring and his neat white, paws flexed into a great fist of simitar-like talons, occasionally eliciting an-agonized “ouch” from the object of his affections, and then relaxed again. It was the very picture of sybaritic contentment. He is, nonetheless, a splendid example of adult cat-hood, knows it very well and preens private, pervasive and mysteri- ous, they are so much a part of our history, , our legends, our folklore, of gods and of witches, demon famil- iars that to remove any reference to them would distort the story of mankind, and for some perverse reason lessen our own humanity. This thought arrived unbidden the other evening while I was watching our particular “felis domesticus”, the great golden “Brandycat”, paying court to my wife Bunny. He,was sprawled out luxuriously on her lap - his favorite place - with his head pil- lowed against her breast, looking up into her face through half- closed eyes, and a completely smug expression on his face, while she stroked and stroked his well-groomed head and flanks and told him what a magnificent cat he was. His great long whiskers quiv- Hospital auxiliary keeps busy 1994 was another busy and successful year for the Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary. The Mountain View Extended Care Bazaar and Tea Nov. 26 proved a great success. The Candy Striper chairman reported that there are now 19 keen and dedicated young people in the program, working mostly in Mountain View, where their help is much appreciated. The Treasure Shop experi- enced another great year, and organizers wish to extend thanks to their patrons, and all those who donated goods. The final meeting of 1994 was held on Dec. 12, after auxilians had decorated the Christmas trees on the wards. At this time, mem- bers brought bags of non-perish- able foods to be donated to the Legion Christmas Stocking Fund. Following the business meet- ings, auxilians enjoyed refresh- ments and filled the Xmas stockings with the gifts they had dlessly, particularly when he has an audience. He was consid- erably less handsome when we got. him, a starved, battered and abandoned six-year-old stray from Vic- toria, brought here by already well-catted friends who had rescued him. He was still scruffy and frightened when we got him, and despite good feeding, his fur was dull and patchy, though he was still a big cat — 13 pounds. His diet was too rich, said the vet, and he needéd to lose some weight, and put him, therefore, on lighter, if more expensive, dry food. When we took him back a month later his coat was shiny and rich. He had also pint a pound and a half. So much for diet. After two years he is over 18 pounds. Slowed down a bit, obviously. It took him a little while to get the three dogs trained (no rough stuff, just judicious firmness) and his humans a little longer. Brandy preens himself for the photographer. They were a bit slow on getting the right choice of suitable extras, it seems. He also has his choice of sev- eral chairs and beds, where he may sit looking in all the world like a sacred Egyptian cat, his own several dishes, one of them with the title “Fat Cat”, as well as his personal scratching post which he must subdue a couple of dozen times a day, and a ret- inue of servants to let him in and out of the house and replenish his dishes whenever he stretches out ami open paw. And all of this in return for a little mousekéeping and summer supervision of Bunny’s efforts in the garden. And this is “a dumb animal"? I would like to believe that all of this is an exception to the rule, but a number of people, including a widow friend of ours, have con- vinced me otherwise.

In the beginning, she said, he was just a cat, but he came, under her loving care, to enjoy the life of a coddled house cat and is now an essential member of her home. “He is my friend and compan- ion, my comforter in distress and my entertainer when I'm bored”, she said. “He has evolved, over the year, from cat to a distinct personality, a part of my life.” Then she added thoughtfully, “and I think I have become a part of his.” Ff It is an interesting and very ancient relationship, which can grow between humans and other creatures, for it holds up a mirror to ourselves, our inner universe, and at the same time creates, a link with the outer world. It is, moreover, a concept which will be roundly denounced as a humbug by all knowledge- able non-pet owners and as readi- ly embraced by owners, particularly those of us who are owned by a cat. Who is amusing whom? Then, of course, there is Maria and her kitten, Mr. Bones, and Elaine with her two — but that is another story.
