Townshend) ALPHA Huron marks anniversary months, the group has gained verbal and financial support from several clubs and organizations. Alph's ultimate goal is the integration of the disabled. into society, and the accessibility of public -•facilities is only one step needed ' to reach this goal. Architectural, legislative and social changes are, necessary.. This is a long-range plan, requiring the co-operation of both handicapped and non-handicap:, ' ped citizens. - Wiihin Alpha, meanwhile, an example is set of how handicapped and non-handicap- ped persons can work together sharing action and responsibility ,„,„„„._ on, an equal .,basis. Phone 5274. (By Elaine Townshend) In March, Alpha marked its firSt year in Huron County, • Twelve months ago a nucleus grourof both handicapped and t. non-handicapped persons, was formed in the Clinton, Goderieh and Bayfield area. Gradually the inernibership spread to Brussels, Wingham and . Exeter: The members believed the public. should be made aware of ,,..tbe:preblems faced by physically '"disabled persons and Of We right and thedesire of the handicapped to function as independently as possible. They also felt it was the responsibility of the handicapped to make. the problems known and to help resolve them. Alpha's initial concern was accessibility: 'As members of the public-, the disabled have the right, to be able , to .use ,facilities that are called "public facilities". Unfortunately, physical barriers bar many of them. The physical barriers are simple thingsthat many people take for granted, such as sidewalk curbs, narrow doorways and steps into public buildings, including " Stores, :banks, "'pest offices, libraries, churches; schools, doctors and dentists' offices and public washrooms. . Brief Alpha presented a brielto the Goderich Town Council and sent letters to all the other councils in .404.4141, the county urging them to consider the needs of the physically handicapped in their future planning. For example,.. when a new sidewalk is constructed or a damaged .-.one- is trepaired, curb cuts can be installed. These are sections of the sidewalk that slope gradually from the sidewalk to the street level. They allow persons in wheelchairs to cross streets independently5 and tkiey,,,,cest less than tIte c.onveetional s because less concrete is needed. 'Similarly, . new or renovated buidings can be made accessible to' wheelchairs via portable or permanent ramps. Although only two councils acknowledged Alpha's letter, a few curb cuts ."have appeared around the county. ' , Three , •paints are important. First, curb cuts and ramps incur little or no extra cost when they are included in the original plans for construction or • renovation. Secondly, they can be used by all members of the public, including senior citizens,, people using walkers, canes,' crutches and braces, patients of heart illness, arthritis or emphysema, pregnant • women, mothers pushing baby buggies and women Fulling shopping carts. — Practical Thirdly, they provide practical solutions to- what can be embarrassing sit'uations. For' instance, Alpha learned of a new ' Senior Citizens' Residence that has an empty second' storey and a waiting list of applicants. The two floors are connected by a stairway, that many seniors can't climb. An elevator or chair lift would make the vacant rooms accessible. Alpha's,most successful project thus far involved the arena boards that had to build or renovate. A list of recommendations pertaining to the accommodation of wheelchair spectatorS was circulated to eighteen centres in Huron and neighbouring counties. The response was, excellent with 80% of • the committees contacting Alpha personally or thretigft their architects or contractors. Most of the local arenas will be accessible to the handicapped. Elevator The Brussels arena board discovered a lack of awareness in — an unexpected . place They wanted to install an ,elevator for• the use of the handiapped, but they feare d it would be too. costly. Through a resource person in London, Alpha learned a 100% grant is available from -the Ministry ' of Culture and Recreation for items that exceed the Ontario Building Code, such E w. • Poycoh And 50 on your EXPOS1TQR .

The Brussels committee then contacted their local Culture and Recreation office in Hanover, which had no knowledge of such a grant:• After a few more phone calls, they reached Queen's Park and were told, "Oh yes, there's lots of money available for grants like that, but you know, y ou're Only the second arena board in the province t9 :apply for h.': A building grant for CulturT—. and Recreation that few people know about and a half empty Senior Citizens' Residence, reiterated Alpha's contention hat awareness must, be promoted.
