A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, December 30, 1997 Injured workers may avoid trips south for treatment BEGINNING NEXT month, workers injured on the job could have the chance to recuperate in Terrace, rather than Richmond. The Workers Compensation Board, in conjunction with an Ontario company calied Work Able Centres Inc., is opening an occupational rehabilitation clinic in Terrace. The Terrace clinic is part of a province-wide move by WCB to allow injured workers to recuperate in familiar surroundings, says WCB spokesperson Dick Hurst. The clinic will be in addition to two work conditioning programs already in the area, one in Terface and the other operating out of Kitimat General Hospital. Those programs offer injured workers a supervised exercise program up to six weeks long, In Kitimat this program just started up, and in Terrace, Skeena Work Conditioning has been operating for a year. The new rehabilitation clinic will complement those ser- vices, and is generally for workers more severely injured, necding long term, intensive treatment, Soft lissue injuries, for example, would be a typical case, Clients might need treatment every day, sometimes for hours al a time. Staff at the new clinic would also help workers cope wilh the psychological difficulties of adjusting to their injurics. “There’s more than physical issues that need to be ad- dressed,’’ says Hurst. And an occupational therapist would help clients get back to work, The therapist might go to the work site and suggest accommodations that might have to be made, to gel the worker back on the job. . Another plus for WCB is reduced travel costs and ex- penses. It’s much cheaper to keep injured workers al home, than to fly them down to Vancouver and house them. Local WCB manager Ken Beddie said it’s too carly to say how many people might be served by the Terrace clinic. , . Brenda Rasmussen, president of Work Able, says this is one of two clinics the company is opening in B.C., in its first foray into this province. The other is in Courlenay. ‘In Ontario, Work Able is considered a leader in accupa- tional rehabilitation, she says. Occupational therapists and physiotherapists will be hired for the Terrace clinic, as well as consultants in psychology, neurology; general nedicine and orthopedic surgery, plus administrative staff. Rasmussen isn’t sure how large the staff will be and says the clinic will be located in an existing building. She won’t say where yet, since the location isn’t finalized. Lori Janzen, a physiotherapist’ with the Kermodei Physiotherapy Clinic, isn't worried about competition the new clinic will provide. ‘It's quite different from what we do,” she says. ‘‘They're targeling a different group altogether."’ ; ; The majority of patients at the new clinic would normal- ly have travelled out of town for treatinent Ric White faces new charges in Abbotsford court on Jan. 8 BEFORE RIC White is fin- ished serving time for al- tacking Terrace’s Tammy Fee, he'll be in court ans- wering a new charge. Ric White stalked and at- tacked Tammy Fee in June, 1995. He sexually assaulted her: and threatened to kill her. White was sentenced to two years in jail, plus three years probation. He'll be finished serving those two years on January 23. But White is due back in court before then. On Janu- Fee is also very worried about her safely, now that White is supposed to begin his three years probation time after finishing the parole portion of his two- year sentence, Depending upon what happens in court Jan. 8 and on whatever probation con- ditions are assigned, Fee said she might go into hiding if she doesn’ feel secure, Another woman in the lower mainland also has a ary, 8 he’s to appear in Ab- botsford court on the charge of uttering . threats, under .
