| - Eventful TERRACE — Public works crews were kept busy last Wednesday morning as they rushed from one water problem after another. At about 5 a.m., an AC (asbestos/cement) main at Graham Ave. and Molitor St. caused a near-flood when an 18-inch long section of the con- crete failed. Public Works superintendent were on the scene by 5:30 a.m. and repairs to the line were com- pleted by mid-morning.

Sluyter had her debut as a professional actress with Cal- -Ksan after gary’s ‘Lunchbox Theatre last fall. She began her training at Malaspina College on Van- couver Island and completed a two year diploma course in theatre at Mount Royal College. “Jt was a good program for someone coming out of a small town,” Sluyter said. ‘‘I was in- troduced to the theatre com- munity in Calgary, It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work.” The young actress played. Olivia in Shakepeare’s Twelfth funds to | - expand local network ; : An additional $40 million has ‘been allocated by the federal ‘government to address the causes ‘and effects of family violence, National Health and Welfare Minister Jake Epp announced. recently. Ksan House's executive administrator Pam Biffle is ‘looking into tapping into this and provincial family programs funding to develop a compre- hensive service network. ‘Victims of violence and their families sometimes fall through ’ the cracks,”’ Biffle said. When their time at the shelter is up, or when their court case is com- pleted, Ksan House or the Sex- ual Assault Centre often don’t have the staff time to do follow- up. “You can give them infor- mation on what other services are available, but many people need continuing support to make use of the services.’’ Lack of formal follow-up also makes it difficult to evaluate the effec- tiveness of services people do use. Professional counselling can be obtained through Mental Health; but with a wait of three months. ‘“‘And some people say, ‘I’m not crazy — I have mar- riage problems’.’? Others need ‘minimal but immediate counsel- ling or support, such as that pro- vided by a self-help group. The Terrace Community-Services So- ciety assists people to start up self-help groups, and will soon give Ksan House staff a ‘work- shop on the techniques. “We need a clearing house or networking system for all the victims’ services now available. And we need to expand services to include other members of the family,” Biffle said. She ex- plained that children are af- fected by watching family vio- lence occur, and that batterers ‘also need counselling. A kind of reconciliation program for vic- tims and offenders is being suc- cessfully used in other areas of the province, where the offender learns the effects of the criminal action and the victim under- stands why it .occurred, and restitution can often be arranged in cases of property offences.

We deal with the crisis, then turn them loose. We need comprehensive follow-up and services for all affected family members.” Biffle expects it will take a year or two to complete the sub- missions for funding through. the various programs at both levels of government, The result- ing services network for victims would likely include needs as- sessment, shelter, counselling, education including workshops, information and referral, and - . the much-needed follow-up. very athletic and very healthy’’ serious damage, Christensen said that in one case the water came within inches of flooding a home. At the very worst, he said, some lawns and gardens were well watered. In an unrelated incident, a water outage on the bench at about 5:30.a.m. the same day was caused by a jammed valve at the Wilson Ave. reservoir.

She said working in a four-month long: musical and in outdoor venues. helped her see the value of pro- jecting her voice without strain- ing her throat. She. urged the young class to remain fit, as ‘‘actors have to be lower levels of the city but is also the branch point where Deep Creek water is transferred to the Halliwell reservoir. The faulty valve was in the line between the two reservoirs, and without a source of water the Halliwell reservoir soon ran day. , Christensen said that restoring GROCERY PICKUP From Safeway 1:30 & 5:00 p.m. daily 6:30 p.m. Thursdays & Fridays. onty %40° Free to Seniors... only through Chimo & Safeway. to withstand the long hours of . rehearsal and -work.

The old water system, used before the Deep Creek development, has been main- tained as a backup to the Halliwell reservoir, This system consists of two electric pumps, one 75 horsepower and one 50 horsepower. However, the pumps haven’t been used for some time and when they were turned on, sand and rocks that had collected in the larger pump destroyed the impeller, and with only the smaller pump at their disposal city crews were only able to restore water to part of the bench at half the normal pressure. This was accomplished by about 8 a.m. and the balance of the area, the North Sparks and Westview areas, had water in their taps by 1 p.m. Christensen suggested that if” the saying, ‘‘It never rains but it pours’’, is true — this was a cloudburst. The only potential problem in providing an unlimited supply of water, according to Christensen, comes from nature itself. Below average snow and rainfall can _cause the Deep Creek source to diminish in August and September, which makes it necessary to place restrictions on water usage in order to maintain a sufficient supply for fire — fighting. - Terrace’s Bingo Place - Lucky Dollar Bingo Palace - | 4818 Hwy. 16 West | SUNDAY: Terrace Athletics Assn.
