T-A photo :AMINNEMEMBIO "No matter what, this area is going to have a workshop," These words came from Bruce Shaw, Exeter, treasurer of the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded, at an association banquet and meeting held in Grand Bend May 17. "The kind of workshop though depends on how much money we can raise," he said. The gathering was held to gain support for the establishment of an adult workshop for the mentally retarded in the South Huron district, and the overall attitude was one of enthusiasm, The group is a long way off the estimated $86,000 cost of the project, however, Mr, Shaw reported that about $13,000 has been collected thus far, through canvassing and projects ranging from the Skate-athon to the raffling of a cake in a kin- dergarten class. The major question under discussion was the suitability of the Kongskilde building in Exeter, as a site for the workshop, The estimated cost of on A London man, George Douglas Rovithis, was fined $50 after being found guilty of possession of narcotics before Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter court, Tuesday. He had pleaded not guilty to the charge, which had been laid by Exeter police on December 3. On that date, Constable John Cairns stopped four unknown '4 youths on Main St. and in asking for their identification, con- fiscated a pipe from the accused. It was examined and found to contain a residue of some type of narcotic. Rovithis said he was unaware of any substance in the pipe and "'said it was part of a cane he used to assist in walking. He was in the habit of carrying the cane due to a football injury. Defense lawyer Frank Murphy, London, said the manner in which the pipe had been handed over to the constable would indicate the "accused knew nothing about what was in it, He also said that the residue in a pipe was not evidence to merit a conviction. Special prosecuting lawyer P. L. Raymond, Exeter, contended 'otherwise and said it constituted possession of a narcotic. In summing up, Judge Hays said the residue in the pipe was sufficient for analysis and he indicated he was not impressed with the story about the pipe Queen's Graduate Geordie M. Laughton, has graduated from Queen's University, Kingston. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Van *Laughton, Grand Bend, and attended Mount St, Joseph Academy and South Huron District High School. She plans to do graduate work in speech therapy at the University of Toronto next year. ih the project is based on the cost of the building and the price of renovation and equipment. Carfrey Cann, Exeter who chaired the meeting, said the main opposition to the site comes from people who think that the building is too large, and that the extra space would be a detriment, rather than an asset to the location. Mr. Cann suggested that it might be possible to rent part of the 8,000 square feet of space until such time as ex- pansion becomes necessary. Gerald Godbolt, Exeter, said that he has already been ap- proached about renting half of the area for storage purposes, Several questions were directed to Mrs. Jesse Baxter, Director of the adult workshop in Tillsonburg, about space requirements and expense of establishing such a workshop, "You can build it too small, but you can never have too much space," she said. She said the provincial yardstick of $1,000 per trainee is about right for the operation costs a the workshop. being part of a cane, Alth,ough there were 19 names on the court docket, only a few cases were disposed of in the Tuesday court setting. Some of the charges were withdrawn while the majority were ad- journed to later dates. Larry Scott Hamilton, Exeter, was fined $50 after pleading guilty to a charge of having liquor in a place other than his residence. He was apprehended by police in Hensall on April 8 at 3:30 a.m. and had part of a case of beer in his car on a parking lot. James Hart, Watford, was fined $10 on a charge of entering onto the property of Bell Bike, car crash, youngster hurt Only two accidents were in- vestigated this week by officers of the Exeter police department. One involving two vehicles caused little damage while in the second a small boy suffered minor injuries. Tuesday morning, five year- old Robert Tuckey, 52 Gidley, Exeter suffered slight chest injuries when he was struck by a ,car on Andrew street, just south of Victoria. The boy drove from behind a parked car into a path of a vehicle driven by Norman Jones, 71 Nelson street, Hensel]. He was taken to South Huron hospital and released shortly after. Constable Ardell McIntyre investigated. Damages totalled $125 When vehicles driven by Donald Wallace, 73 Simcoe street, Exeter and Joan Hodgins, RR 1 Crediton, collided on the Darling's IGA parking lot. The incident was investigated by Constable John Cairns. One theft took place in town over the long Victoria Day weekend. Ray Brooks, 131 Main street reported a power lawn mower was taken from his property sometime . between Saturday and Monday. Friday, two elementary school students from Exeter were taken on a tour of the London Police station as a part of Police Week, Making the trip with Mike Higgins df Exeter public sehool and Paul Van Esbroeck of Precious Blood separate school were Exeter pollee chief Ted Day and police cOrninittee chairman Derry Boyle, The Visit included the examination of the radio tom- munidatiOns centre, cell blocks, mein offices and the police garage where 75 vehicles are cared for by police mechanics and maintenance crews, a She added, however, that it is more expensive to set up the operation. "Most workshops do need community financial support, especially for the first few years." Mr, Cann said the association has an option on the Kongskilde building, but they have not yet picked it up. He quoted the price of the building as $68,000. He said this site has many advantages, including its central location to industry and recreation, easy accessibility by the public, and its structure and lay-out, The main problem lies in raising enough money to finance the workshop. "We must impress upon people that the program will eventually pay for itself and operate suc- cessfully with community sup- port," said Mr. Cann. Mrs, Baxter emphasized the other rewards of such a program: "You get paid 100 times over for anything you do for them," Thispoint was well demon- Aerospace near Grand Bend. Signs at the property warn against trespassing. The court was told there is a certain amount of secrecy at- tached to the property for defense purposes. Judge Hays delayed his sen- tence on a charge against Edward George Gloor, Centralia, who pleaded guilty to damaging the property of Steve Zachar, RR 1 Lucan. On May 1, the accused was shooting pellets at several pieces of farm equipment on the Zachar farm. Three batteries were damaged with total loss less than $50. The accused said he "just had nothing else to do". Judge Hays reserved his decision until May 30 for sen- tence, which he said would be influenced by Gloor's action with regard to making restitution. Another case was also con- tinued to May 30, it involving a charge against Marcel Pare, Dashwood. He was charged with causing bodily harm to Florence Pare. The couple operate the Dashwood Hotel, Mrs. Pare was hospitalized following an assault, the court was told. While continuing the case, Judge Hays issued an ultimatum to the accused that he was not to enter the personal living quarters of the complainant or be in her presence except by her request, TeaChers' College Graduate Carol Anne Robinson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Robinson, RR 3 Ailsa Craig, has graduated from London Teachers' College. She has accepted a position with the Middlesex Board of Education, and will be teaching at East Williams Memorial Public School. strated by a group of 11 girls from a London workshop. The "Opportunity Enterprises Choir " directed by Mrs. John Zeelenberg, London, gave ex- cellent renditions of several familiar songs, and of two songs Written by their accompanist, Mrs, George Simmons, London. After this delightful en- tertainment, the meeting was addressed by three speakers, each involved at a different level of education for the mentally retarded. The first was Mrs. WM. Blewett, Principal of the Huron Hope Nursery School. She said that the idea at her school is to give the children a head-start before they enter elementary school, "Our whole goal .is to prepare our children to enter society and be responsible citizens," she said, The nursery school has children between the ages of three and 16, and Mrs. Blewett announced that two of her five year old students are graduating to elementary schools. She stressed that not all of the pupils are mentally retarded. Some have hearing problems, some sight problems and all have speech problems. "We are working constantly with them," she said. There are two full and one part-time teachers at the nursery school, as well as a group of 25 volunteers, who each work two days per month. "Good physical fitness is paramount to good mental fit- ness," said Mrs. Blewett. Thus, the program of physical education is very important at Huron Hope, The school just obtained a new gym-swing set for the yard, and she expressed hope that this will be of great benefit to the children. The second speaker of the evening was Mrs. Gerald God- bolt, President of the South Huron Association, who discussed work being done at the Huron Hope elementary school. The school is located in two classrooms in the J.A.D. McCurdy Central School at, Huron Park, and has 15 students. Her talk was accompanied by slides and emphasized the ac- tivities of the children and the rapport they have with the rest of the school. The senior pupils have the same library privileges as the other students, and often visit the kindergarten class. Other ac- tivities include skating and bowling programs, painting and celebrations of special events from Hallowe'en to birthdays. 'It is necessary that they be provided with as many outside experiences as possible," said Mrs. Godbolt, Consequently the children have had outings to Western Fair, to Eatons in London to experience the elevators and escalators, and they go on many bus trips, often accompanied by senior students from the public school. Mrs, Godbolt said that many of the students at the Huron Hope elementary school will soon be ready to graduate to sheltered workshops. Mrs. Baxter was the third guest speaker of the evening. She said that the worth of an adult workshop cannot be measured. "When kids are ready to move out of senior classes, they have nothing. Their lives just become one big emptiness. The workshop fills up that space." That's what prompted the beginning of the workshop in Tillsonburg. Seven years ago, it started with three trainees in a small store. Now the shop em- ploys 30 young adults, in a set-up comprised of a work area, warehouse, farm and residence. Aided by a film, Mrs, Baxter explained and demonstrated the many impressive ac- complishments of the trainees: hooked rugs, which have been sold from coast to coast; fur- niture refinishing; maintenance work, plus care of the farm,, selling its produce and numerous other things, "The purpose of the workshop is to provide employment for the more severely handicapped, and to get as many as possible into the community", she said. "We have to remember that they are whole people. They have emotions like we have; they love like we love; they want to be accepted as we are accepted". At the workshop, said Mrs. Baxter, "we teach the art of living; we teach the joy of living; we teach them how to make a living". Two weeks ago, two young people went out to take jobs in the community, and they are not the first, Often, they make more money than the workshop staff. In order to achieve this suc- cess, it has taken a great deal of effort and determination. Such a project requires the support of an influential, single-minded group, said Mrs. Baxter. The continued interest of the Association for the Mentally Retarded is also necessary, and of course, solid financial support. The meeting closed with a plea by Mr. Cann to the ap- proximately 40 member audience, for this support. MRS, GORDON W. MAWSON Mrs. Gordon W.
