i Family violence dynamics Terrace Family Violence Coramittee, in conjunction with the United Way in Vancouver, is holding a conference on family violence at Caledonia Lecture Theatre on June 15 at 8 p.m, Resource people will be Jade MacLeran and April Hare from the Department of Human Resources Child Abuse team, and Donnie Patterson, who will discuss wife battering. Following is cne aspect of the problem of family violence, the dynamics of potentlaliy abusive families: PARENT Probably the most in- fluential element in how we parent ishow we were raised by our own parents, Their patterms of raising ts become so ingrained that we frequently repeat them without being aware of their Potential abusers often have childrer; in an attempt to fulfill emotional needs which in most cases the children are incapable of They also tend to marry an individual who is less able than most to provide the. emotional support sought, . Abusive parents, because of past life experiences, tend to be immature, dependent, non-trusting and socially lsolated They "have a poor self image and exhibit distorted perceptions of children. with unrealistic expectations. CHILD The child may'be difficult or disappointing due to physical problems. such as ff prematurity, hyper-activity, colic, a handicap, or simply j : the wrong sex. Or the child may be percelved as being different, or inadequate and ia serve as a daily reminder of the parent's own memories and shortcomings. Sometimes role reversal is present where the child % comforting # becomes . a “‘parent’’ in order to avoid abuse. Hf reversal is habitual, t] emotionally, Most abused children are negatively labelled, i.e, ‘bad, ‘selfish’, ‘stupid’. Low self-esteem by the child results. CRISIS Potentially abusive parents are usually ex- periencing some type of chronic stress, such as financial problems, isolation, feelings of failure and if a crisis occurs, abuse may result. ; The seriousness of a crisis can range from a spilled glass of milk to a major event such as death, divorce, or logs of employment, Whether a crisis precipitates abuse depends on how close to losing control the parent is. The effects of abuze on the parent re- inforce his-her concept of himself-herself as inadequate and worthless. Kermode Centre The mixed team in softball had a game Sunday against Osborne Guest Home.

Chiefs call for Forest Act delay VICTORIA (CP) — The ’ Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs and the Coramunist Party of Canada have called for a delay in the enactment of new forest legislation currently before the B.C. legislature. George Manual, president of the union, sald today he bas sent a letter to Premier Bill Bennett asking that the new forest and range acts be tabled until the next session of the legislature. Manual said that because of the heavy involvement of opportunity to study. legislation in detail before it becomes law. — He sald the union is con- cerned that the Forest Act does not make adequate ‘provision for access to _ timber by small logging and sawmilling operations. As well, Manual said, the legislation will make it. difficult for Indian bands to labor- standards of living on reserves. RIGHTS THREATENED He sald the Range Act could jeopardize grazing rights held by the Indians. Theacta were tabled in the legislature last month and are currently awaiting second reading debate. Meanwhile, the Com- munist Party of Canada’s Vancouver Island region has strongly criticized the new legislation because it does not face up to the “developing crisis in’ the forest Industry.”’ ’ A resolution at ite annual meeting earlier this week in Nanaimo called for a one- year delay in proceeding with the legislation to allow Hime for public study and input into the proposals contained in the act. Party members sald the new legislation does nothing to deal'with massive overcut and inadequate reforestation, _ im- properniogging methods, and wastage which current] exist in the industry. ‘Hospital union objects to ruling VANCOUVER (CP) — The British Columbia Labor Relations Board has made a distressing decision in its tuling that the Hospital Employees Unton (HEU) acted arbitrarily against some, of its members, HEU business manager Jack Gerow said Wednesday. Gerow said the union will consider the board's ’ recommendation that a committees be set up to ’. rectify what the LRB found was a discriminatory assess- ment of strike fund payments against union members who were ordered to continue working at Vancouver General Hospital during @ strike two years ago. - = | The board objected to the union's order that ted employees had to contribute all . earnings ‘overn$i0da week tothe HEU | strike fund while the walkout lasted, - No adjustments were made for employees with dependents and all deduc- tions, including income tax, had to come from the basic $100,, Union members at hospitals not on strike were assessed one day's wages by the hospital union. About 25 VGH employees have refused to comply with the assessments, and the union warned them they could be fired for losing their _HEU membership by failing to pay up. However, the labor board, in its decision Wednesday aid such a move would be lilegal since the union © violated the labor code in applying. the strike fund assessments, . suffers § te 4 night’s ceremonies, MESS Awards Night AWARDS NIGHT PRESENTATION - JUNE 7,’ 1! 978 -ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT ART:- Mrs. V.
