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

The Brussels committee then
contacted their local Culture and
