WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1974

Fulure occupants of the Social Services Center planned for construction in Terrace ara annoyed and frustrated by efforts originating — with Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, and apparently sup- ported by the Mills Memorial Hospital Board to once agaln change the site of the new building back to the’ hospital grounds. It would appear that . this project will be discussed at this Friday's. meeting of the Regional Boardif they place the matter on the agenda. ; The facilily was originally . planned for the hospital grounds but through efforts of full-time and part time occupants al a meeting pressure was brought ' ta bear on the Ministry to have the building located in a more central area and away from the hospital grounds because of the social service nature of the. ‘facility.. Minister Denis Cocke. appeared to agree with. the proposal coming out of this , Meeting anda tentalivesite was £: indicated next lo the proposed Senior Citizen Apartments on Kalum, north of the Civic Center. Now il weuld appear’ thal Mills Memorial Hospital Board Chairman Ted Hidber and the Regional Board Administrator have discussed the matter and an appeal will be made io the’ Minister to change the site back to the hospital grounds despite the objection of all cceupants of the facility. : The Herald-has obtained confirmalion from Sam Travers head of Mental Health in ‘ Terrace, Marg Greening of ' Human Resources, Gordie ‘Rowe, Chief Probation Officer, Andy: Selder Head. of Educational Special Services, and Bill Fraser of the Com- munity Resources Council all of

building and one can easily see that they" are not primarily hospital oriented services.

A spokesman for the group said thal the Regional District is “throwing a monkey wrench . into the works.” ‘He snid it is too bad that this body does not relurn. lo counting mountain goats and staying out of local affairs which seem to be con- stanly held up because of Regional District policies, Our informant was referring to the Kitsumkalum Ski Hill sch- mozzle, the delay in the Thornhill Secondary School, the inadequacy and delay in the Thornhill © Dump, the development plans for Thornhill and several olher projects which he claims are hung up by an ineffective _ regional government. .

The major objection of our informant to the Regional District’s action was that this body never acts in consultation with the people. involved but simply goes off half-cocked Lo Victoria to meddle things up heyond salvage. .

It is alsa advised that this will not be a so called Health Cenler but a Social Service Center and consequently should not be constructed on a_ hospital grounds, -In fact, John Stokes, former Chairman of the Terrace and District’ Com: munity Resources Council, wrete Premier Barrett on February first stating that several government agencies

‘have expressed a desperale

need for additional office space, and that it would be beneficial to these departments and the sommunity if their services were integrated to the extent of being in the same building in .some readily accessible down- -town area.

“This strong feeling became a concensus of the meeling when the following motion was seconded and carried without a dissenting vote: “Moved by W. Harvey, seconded by 5, Travers, that we vate on (1) the inlegration of services (2) location of building and (3) whether or not we should go ahead with this plan al present,” Carried unanimously. 7

Reverend Stokes continues in his letter to the Premier “In other wards, the Terrace and District Community Resources Council, along with members of the Board of Directors of Mills Memorial Hospital and represenlatives of the Regional District, are not willing to support the proposed Health Center to be built on the grounds of Mills Memolral Hospital. ° There isa strong feeling locally thal there was liltle or na local

Mr. Sam Travers, Ad- ministrator Skeena Mental

Chairman of the Kitimat-

Stikine Regional District Board

states: ‘I have indicated in my

letter to the Premier that a

‘positive aspect to having. the

Center on Mills Memorial

Hospital grounds is to develop a

closer liason with that hospital.

J would like to indicate thal Iam

in favour of a closer Hason

between the Soctal Agencies

and the Mills Memorial

Hospital. However I feel that’ this could be accomplished by

ihe establishment of a Medical - Social Worker employed by thal

hospital. Unfortunately, ° to

date, the hospital has had to rely. on Agency Personnel visiting that hospital. This is far from adequale. I am sure

that: you are aware that. hospitals thal have employed a

Medical Soclal Worker have had success in developing this

closer liason.”

It is not clear whether a decision ta interfere will he taken at ihe meeting of the Regional District Board on | Friday .or- whether action has already been taken at- the Regional District ad- ministrative level without a Board meeting... This will be . revealed at the meeting scheduled for the new Kitimal Council. Chambers on Friday July 12 beginning at 2:00 p.m.
