St By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer A Castlegar woman who is looking after her ill brother at home is angry that while she is saving the provincial government money, she is unable to get help from the Castlegar Home Support Service to help care for her brother. Trudy Murray's 35-year-old brother Roger White is suffering from Lou Gehrit’s disease — a condition which prevents him from doing most things for himself. He had been staying in a hospital on the Lower Mainland up until July 26, when he was air ambulanced to Castle- gar to begin a 65-day stay at the home of his sister Murray. She said once he arrived she found it difficult to secure home support care for her brother. Murray said that the person in charge of the long term care program in Castlegar — Dorothy Salis- bury, the long term care assessor in this area — was away at the time her brother arrived. Murray said she was told that she could get some home support service, four hours a day and up to a maximum of 120 hours a month, 80 she called in a home support nurse who attended to her brother for three days. Murray said once Salisbury return- ed, she informed Murray that no one had authorized the home support care and that Salisbury did not know if the long term care program would pick up the cost. “I find that really difficult to accept. The patient needed the care and the care giver (Murray) needed the help. The man (brother) did not come with instructions,” she said in an interview with the Castlegar News. “I didn’t know how to feed him, I didn’t know I would have to... (layout) all his food. The point is that the care doesn’t always seem to suit the patient or the care giver at all. It has to balance in the books,” said Murray. She added that the cost of keeping her brother in a hospital was a minimum of $250 a day, not including nursing care, food or medication. The Union withstands" growing pressure By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer Despite mounting community and union pressure, Jim Saare, president of Office and Technical local 9705, said the atttude of his membership walking into resumed bargaining next Tuesday will be as strong as the first day of the strike. “Sure there's pressure there,” said Saare whose approximately 500 mem: ber union has yet to solve its contract disputes with Cominco. “But the moral of the membership, the determination, is the same as when the pickets first went up, still positive.” The 2,700 member Production and Maintenance local 480 resolved their differences with the company last month but the strike, now going into its fourth month, continues until Office and Technical 97065 is able to ratify a contract of its own. But Saare said the issue of con cessions is still the sore point which the union cannot agree to. “It's a true union principle,” “The trade union behind us on this.” The company and the office and technical have been deadlocked over a Cominco request to raise the work week to 40 hours from 37.6 without a pay increase. The union is also being asked to give up a clause protecting pay rates in the event of job bumping. Though bargaining is set to resume he said membership is at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Saare said he refuses to predict an outcome. “I'm not speculating as to what is going to happen at that meeting,” he said. Nonetheless, community concern has increased to the point where Trail mayor Chuck Lakes was spurred to call a meeting between all the area mayors to discuss the situation. “I don't know what we will do (if the strike continues),” said Lakes. “We certainly don't intend to get involved with either the union or company side.” Lakes said he called the meeting to discuss the effect the strike has had on the neighboring communities. He said he, and mayors from Fruitvale, Ross land, Montrose and area directors from both Area A and Area B have put their concerns in the form of a letter to the provincial labor minister However Lakes said he does not want to see government intervention in the strike. “It (the letter) will indicate to him that this is starting to become a concern,” he said, pointing to the affect the strike has had not only to com munities but also on individuals and families. “We want to put the pressure on to solve this situation.” “At this point I didn't feel it was necessary to expand any further,” he said. “I realize that it does effect Castlegar. It even affects Nelson to some degree.” cost was being picked up by the provincial government. She added that now that her brother is staying with her, she is saving the provincial government several thous- and dollars. “The 65 days that he'll be here, we're saving the government approximately $16,000 — and that’s minimum — it could be much more, and if it were in Castlegar, I think it’s $300 a day.” She complained that people are only allowed 120 hours of home care service a month “and then you have a difficult time getting that.” Murray added that she does not think it is right that taxpayers pay more money to keep prisoners behind bars than they do towards hospital care. “It doesn't seem to balance to me that the difference between the hospital care and what that costs the taxpayers as opposed to wanting to bring a patient home where he can die in peace if that’s what's necessary or continued on page AZ Nachbauer to remain here By CasNews Staff Nelson resident Fred Nachbauer, threatened with deportation to West Germany, was saved by the bell Thursday, only one week before his deportation date. Federal immigration authorities are permitting Nachbauer to report to the Canadian consulate in Seattle, referred to as the “Seattle Shuffle,” in order to pick up immigration papers authorizing his re-entry into Canada. “I feel just great,” said Nachbauer in a telephone interview. He said he does not know when he will be leaving for Seattle but he expects it will take only one day. Nachbauer, 36, was born in Germany and spent only the first 11 months of his life there, later living in Canada for 12 years, then living in the United States for 20 years. He returned to Canada in 1984 but during his time in the U.S., had lost his landed immigrant status. He was scheduled for depor tation on Aug. 20. Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco said he received the call confirming Nach bauer’s reprieve Thursday from the office of junior immigration minister Gerry Weiner. “I'm pleased for the Nachbauer family,” said Brisco, who expects that Nachbauer will apply for Canadian citizenship at the first opportunity. “I'm very appreciative of the efforts of the people in the Kootenay West who have signed letters and made pet said Brisco. “That is always helpful.” Nachbauer applauded the efforts of Brisco in helping him remain in Canada. “It would have been terribly difficult without him,” he said. “He really did help a lot.” Nachbauer, who said he only speaks German “haltingly,” has visited Ger. many only once but said he would still like to visit again. Nachbauer, a computer software writer, added that he was stunned by the response of local residents. He said he cannot begin to estimate the num ber of calls he received. “Thad so many calls from Nelson." he said. “And people would stop me on the street, people I didn't even know, just to wish me luck”
