Big Brothers close
to its first matches -

’ It's been a long road but
the local Big Brothers, Big
Sisters chapter is ‘now within

. two months of going into, full
“operation,

Having successfully met its
objectives over the past 18
“months. — these were set
when the national. organiza-
tion gave the group’ provi-

‘ sional membership status in
March, 1989 — the chapter
has now been granted full af-

- filiation, ‘presidentElaine
Johnson confirmed.

And with fund-raising ef: .
forts on target to achieve this ey ;
year's goal of $10,000, she :
says the chapter is ready to Elaine Johnson
go to the next step, hiring a part-time staffer to be in place by
the beginning of the New Year.

-“Then, hopefully, we'll have some Big Brothers and Little
Brothers and °Big Sisters and Little Sisters by the end of
January,’” Johnson said. ‘It’s quite exciting. " :

Fund-raising will, of course, remain a integral part- of the
chapter’s ongoing work, she said. Although the £991 target
had been increased to ‘‘at least $15,000,'’ she was confident it

~ could be attained through the continued success of the
group's bingo and special efforts such asa battle drive plann-
ed: for Jan..6.

. That, in turn, might allow the chapter to consider making

«the staff position full-time or hiring “a second part-timer.
“You never know what your expenses are going to be,'’
Johnson pointed out, ‘‘but.by June we should be able to
review it and see.”

Other executive members elected at the chapter's recent an-
nual general meeting were Christine Foster (vice-president),
Pat Delaronde (secretary), Jenny Green (treasurer), Charlene
Wodzicki (assistant. treasurer), Theresa Brinkac (publicity),
Norm and Annie Holmes (fundraising), Luanne Jeffery and
Kelly Martin (matching and screening) and Paul Burton, Bea
Thain, Mary Monteith and Joan Chesley (directors).

Johnson said the meeting also included presentations of
certificates of appreciation to those local businesses who had,

It’s 10 days away yet, but program director Francis Smith
warns space is disappearing fast for the Kermode Friendship
Centre's annual Arts and Crafts sale.

Noting the centre's upstairs hall could accommodate no
more than 30 tables, Smith added, ‘‘I've already had 10 of
them booked.”’ Recalling some would-be exhibitors had to
turned away last year, he said the centre was taking space

Safe house sought

Most people probably think of it as a ‘Big City’ problem,
but members ef the local Family Court and Youth Justice
committee say Terrace too has its sliare of teenagers sleeping
rough.

And it has decided the. time has come to do something

about it, says chairman Lynda Bretfeld, Therefore, the com-

mittee is taking the first steps towards the establishment of a
local Safe House for ‘teens in trouble."*

_Bretfeld points out the problem was first identified a couple

of years ago by the Reconnect program which worked with
runaways and other young people who had no place to live.
Nothing, she adds, has changed since then.
_ “Social Services and Housing picks up some of them, but
not the ones who are sleeping on the Bench,”’ she says. “Just
driving around in the middle of the night, you can see these
kids aren't. going anywhere."

Although the committee will now approach the Solicitor-
General and Social Services and Housing ministries for finan-
cial assistance for the proposed refuge, Bretfeld concedes the
provincial government's current budget. restraint! program.
makes it unlikely any money wiil be available before the next
fiscal year, beginning April 1991.

The committee is also looking into other possible Brant
sources.and will eventually approach the ‘city for assistance, - ;

‘While admitting “these things take a long-time to get in
place," ‘she Says the Safe House will be the committee’ s main .

‘goal i in the coming year.

Am. the- meantime, council will. be asked to advertise: for
more people to join thé all-volunteer cominittee. Although
seven-strong at the moment, Bretfeld says it would like to add’

another three.

Explaining the work of the Family Court and Youth Justice -
committee, she says it is “available to anyone who ‘feels they

- had’a hard time in ‘court.”’ Individuals’ might, for. example,
believe they had been discriminated. against onthe basis: of.

. Tace: or:. their’ ‘youth or; ‘that ay iad tot ‘been. oa

“t's not’ ‘a great deal of time to sive"

Although in some cities such committees also had people i in
court each day to observe the proceedings, Bretfeld says that
is not possible in Terrace at the moment. “All of us work,”
