their treatment at the hands of
some of the ferry operators that
provide their only road link with
the outside world. Monday night
their frustration boiled over and
district highways manager John
Newhouse met with the commun-
ity association.

Complaints about rudeness, har-
assment and intimidation have
been directed at Newhouse because
the ferries are operated by Ministry

of Highways employees who live
in the community. He declined to
discuss the matter in front of the
press at the Monday meeting, but
an interview the following morning
with Usk community association
representative Elizabeth Snyder
indicated that Newhouse proposed
a workshop for the ferry operators
that would emphasize the com-
munity relations aspect of their
employment. Newhouse also sug-

gested that a long-term referral
committee may be established that
would include both the ferry oper-
ators and community representat-
ives, Snyder said. All of the 50
residents use the ferry on a daily
basis. -

An incident Monday afternoon
resulted in police being called out,
but no charges were laid. Snyder
said that in order to calm the
atmosphere in the community, the

association requested full-time
supervision for the 15 hours that

the ferry runs. At noon yesterday .

Newhouse indicated he would
place an observer from the minis-
try at Usk during all ferry operat-
ing hours.

When asked why the problem
took so long to address, Newhouse
replied, "It depends on the situa-
tion. Some complaints take longer
than others.” .

If you don’t know

what’s going on,
things go on
without you. -
