Dirks to meet advisory groups

forum for updating one another on

agan and Kootenay, Responsible for Crown Lands, will meet with Re- gional Advisory Groups from the Kootenay Region in Creston on Oct. 14,

The meeting, to take place at the Creston and District Community Complex and Recreation Centre, will provide members of the regional ad- visory groups with their first oppor- tunity to meet as an entire group with their new Minister of State and his Parliamentary Secretary Duane Crandall, MLA for Columbia River.

“This one-day meeting will provide all of the members who have been actively engaged in a variety of tasks for the ie izati initiative a

prog to-date and on specific recommendations that they will be bringing forward,” Dirks said in a prepared release.

The two separate advisory groups, one dealing with economic diversi- fication and the other with regional services, are composed of represen- tatives from a board spectrum of re- gional interest groups. The advisory groups last met in Cranbrook in March of this year.

i process.”

Award recipients considered special

VANCOUVER — After undergoing the trauma of her daughter's congenital heart disease, a mother finds a way to help others through similar crises. A man emerges from a childhood of sexual abuse and drugs, which led to crime and im nt, to counsel others. A muscular dystrophy victim helps fight the disease by fund-raising. A woman cares for more than 50 foster children in addition to her own three natural and four adopted children.

Their compassion and dedication are typical among the 15 residents of British Columbia selected by a panel of newspaper editors from the B.C. and Yukon Ce Newspapers Association to receive the Air Canada Heart of Gold Award. The recipients were drawn from the more than 1,700 nominations received during the five-month search for Canadians who have made outstanding contributions to their fellow man and their community.

Unique in their solutions, the stories are those of everyday people who, seeing a need, fill it, many times at enormous personal cost in terms of time, energy or money and with personal satisfaction being the sole reward.

Sandra Williams of Courtenay, who learned the hard way of the financial and emotional difficulties involved in helping children through life threatening medical emergencies, has established a fund to help other parents face the same problems. The Williams faced staggering expenses for emergency air travel and accommodation to accompany their adopted daughter Roberta, to Vancouver Children’s Hospital for emerge- ney heart surgery to treat a congenital heart defect.

With her own ordeal over Sandra Williams began to think of other parents facing the same crisis — emergency flights, fear and confusion and financial hardship arising from a child's sudden illness. Sandra wrote a booklet which led, in turn, to the formation of. YANA (You Are Not Alone) to provide financial assistance to middle-income parents for travel and other expenses connected with emergencies or special care for their children.

Norman Petroff is familiar to thousands of Vancouver teenagers, college students, and others who comprise the audiences for his lectures on the dangers of alcohol, drug abuse and anti-social behavior. He began as a sexually, emotionally and physically abused child, ping an anti ial attitude to hide his pain from the world, and turned more and more to drugs and alcohol to hide the pain from himself. Theft and other crimes to support the drug dependency led to six years in jail. Currently, Petroff has little spare time. His “mission” means he has put in over 1,300 volunteer hours in 30 months, reaching over 20,000 people with his talks. He also maintains a 60 per cent course load at Burnaby’s Simon Fraser University, and volunteers as a counselor through the John Howard Society.

Terri-Anne Bergen, a muscular dystrophy sufferer, has for each of the past four years, organized a benefit to provide electric wheelchairs for clients of the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada. This year's benefit raised over $11,500 as a direct result of Ms.

Bergen's hard work and enabled the purchase of two chairs (each costing over $5,000). Because her strength has been limited owing to the progression of the disease, Ms. Bergen is unable to work and now requires the use of an electric wheelchair. But her community efforts have not ished. She is the cor di secretary for the Greater Vancouver Chapter of the MDA and an active volunteer at the Calvary Community Church in Burnaby, where she helps with the monthly newsletter.

There must be something in the air in Powell River to produce a fund-raiser like Shirley Irwin and foster parent like Esther Lowe. Ever since Mrs. Irwin raised $3,000 for the Terry Fox run, as a result of her first fund-raiser in 1981, she’s never looked back. To date she’s raised more than $17,000 in Powell River. Beneficiaries include the Canadian Arthritis Society, the Powell River General Hospital's new extended care unit and countless other causes, Irwin, who was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis at the age of 29, is now ing a fourth hip i She says being occupied “keeps me from getting depressed.”

With three natural children Berri Lynne, Leslie Ann and Harold, four adopted children, Rose, Laverne, Glenn and Flora, and more than 50 foster children placed in her care over the years, foster parent Esther Lowe has an open door policy. “Some of the children were placed in our home by the ministry,” she said, “while the others were brought home by our kids, the foster kids, or their friends.” Lowe has never turned her back on any child requiring a home or a helping hand.” One year 10 to 15 kids sat down at the table for every meal,” she said. “Some were foster kids, some were our own and there were two cousins among them as well.”

White Rock produced two Heart of Gold Award recipients — Alison Blackwell who works with seniors and John Wong, the youngest awardee. Mobility is a téal problem for seniors, many of whom cannot afford or are no longer able to operate a vehicle of their own or find public transit confusing. For these, Alison is a godsend. She purchased a car expressly to transport other seniors to outings, functions, meetings, appoint- ments, or shopping. To drive to Vancouver from White Rock, pick someone up, drive them to a function in White Rock and then take them home again, returning home herself late at night is not uncommon for Mrs. Blackwell.

Margaret “Katie” Heaven of Grand Forks has a history.of helping others that dates back to the Mine Sweepers Club during World War II when she would knit hats, sweaters and a pair of rifle mitts per day for Mine Sweepers’ crewmen. First aid training in preparation for working with her son's Scout troop led to an ongoing commitment to health care in Grand Forks, and the Hospital Auxiliary for the Grand Forks Cc ity Hospital has benefited over the years from her boundless energy. Fund-raising and making up layettes were only a few of her contributions that resulted in her being elected to “turn the sod” at the new Boundary Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Shop con- struction site.

Workshop deals with growth

At one time or another every family with children will experience growing pains — not the physical discomfort experienced by children whose bodies can't keep up to their rapid growth, but the pain of being raised in well-meaning families.

Selkirk College Continuing Edu- cation offers a workshop on How to Cope. with Growing Pains at Twin Rivers elementary school Oct. 18 and 19.

This two-evening workshop, for parents and teachers alike, offers a perspective of family life as seen by Virginia Satir, a therapist known throughout the world for her unique family work.

The workshop is presented by Donna Dunn, former head of psychi- atric nursing at Kootenay Lake Dis- trict Hospital in Nelson. Dunn has attended training seminars with Satir and has adopted her model in her work setting.

“I like this model not only because it is effective, but also because Vir ginia's way of promoting change is a loving one,” Dunn said.

The workshop will focus on Satir's model which looks at how people view the world and subsequently behave in their daily lives. Dunn brings the model to life through role playing in which participants visually and emotionally demonstrate how children learn their roles and self- image.

A major goal of the workshop is to enable parents, care-givers and teachers to see situations in the home or classroom in a different way, thus giving room for new approaches and choices to solving problems.

The workshop will explore com- munication patterns which reduce self-esteem, identify relationship pat- terns which prevent growth, trace sources of behavior problems and outline effective treatments, looks at the process of change and explains why it is difficult for some, and identify ways of promoting self- esteem.
