We should have the right to send our kids .to the closest school, regardless of county," Read said.

John Penn told. Huron County Council at their November 27 meeting that two 'programs already es- tablished by the agency are in line with the ministry's objectives this year. When the Children's Aid Society of Huron County changed their name to Family and Children's Ser- vices in 1977, the Board.of Directors signalled to the community that its objective was to develop family treat- ment services in the home which were aimed at preven- ting family breakdown, Continued from page 4A leaving that amount in the account. Mrs. Southcott requested that $200 be returned to the swim program in 1981 for the purchase of equipment. The rec committee said that the money would be ear-marked for the swim program, and expressed their wishes that the program continue. It was decided by the rec com- mittee that letters of ap- preciation be sent to Mrs. Southcott and the people who donated their pools. In other business -- --Don'Southcott gave the rec committee permission to use the old river bed for a public skating rink for the winter. -- A donation of $100 was made to the "Silver Blades Skating Club", and $140 was given to the Optimist Club to cover the cost of ice time for a children's hockey team, -- Harold Green told the rec committee that he had a request from Ralph McFadden of Grand Cove Estates to establish a lawn ri TirourAfivrgate, DioceMbir 30 190 Saturday December 6 1:00-5:00 .1 winuannunamannallamanananananannamunammaanumanahionnaanni-: Open House LA RMER Plumbing & Heating Greenway See our new showroom & Sheetmetal Shop Saturday Dec. 6, 1980 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Door Prizes Refreshments 7_-" A CHAIR HELPS Jeffrey Dix uses a chair to propel his sister Jenny along the ice at the South Huron Rec Centre during Thursday's moms and tots skating session. 1-A photo ntined from page 'a barber if the board of educe.- tion, took into tonsideration the fact that a walking. SChool is better than a buss- ing school. Barber told Green that they also look into. pedestrian safety. Green said that being able to have children walk to school should be important because of the rising gas- oline costs . Green also asked if weather was a, considera- tion. He pointed out that a village school is not closed for bad weather conditions as often as a rural school. Rick Sawyers suggested that boundaries could be changed to boost enrolment at Grand Bend school. At present the bus only goes as far south as Pinery Park. Sawyers said that it should go to the Ausable River Cut, and include families on the side roads. Several parents asked how far the school boundaries extended in the other directions, and were sur- prised to learn that the- eastern boundary only goes as far as the road the school is on. The northern boundary is at Grand Bend Cleaners, Mrs. Fitchett said, Reeve Robert Sharen pointed out that a new housing development is slated to be built near the school on Gill Road. HoWever, because the 34 new homes will be in Stephen township in Huron County, that the children were getting, a "good, sound education" and. that the school was "important" to Watford. At the end of the study, it was unanimous to keep the school opin, she said. She told the Grand Bend people to "do their homework" and prove to and persuade the board that the school is giving their children a good education. About 70 people attended the meeting. On the school district Study committee with Clay are area Trustee Dorothy Wight, and two other trustees, Mrs. McPherson and Keh Gray. A representative from Bosanquet and from Kin- naird schools will also be on the committee. The first study meeting will be at Bosanquet on December 9. Since 1977, said Penn, the agency has introduced a significant number of prevention programs aimed at supporting families so that children may remain in their own home rather than come into foster care. This family focused ap- proach to Child protective services has been strengthened this year by the funding of three new programs. They include a parent aide program aimed at the training and support of parents and the employ- ment of a volunteer co- ordinator to recruit and train volunteers to launch a program which supports the family service caseworkers, The third program is the on going training of professional staff in marriage and family therapy to ensure that the agency has the skills necessary to carry out the management and decision making to the local level. The Huron agency has been fortunate to have negotiated a significant budget increase in 1980, which will be the protected base for future funding. Dur- ing 1980, the agency not only initiated a number of new programs but also accum- mulated a budget surplus. This new funding approach ALBERT MILLER - Albert at St. Marys Hospital, Kitcliener, on Thursday, November 27, 1980, age 74 years. A retired merchant of Dashwood and residing in Kitchener.

In this way, said Penn, there is an incentive for the agency to develop programs which will result in financial savings. The surplus of 1980's budget will be carried forward to 1981 to fund the expansion 'of the family focused support programs already underway.

A second major policy decision 'of the Board of Directors was to develop specialized foster family care for children who, for a variety of reasons, are dif- ficult to place in regular foster homes, ,reported 'Penn. Many of these very upset children were once placed in institutions outside Huron at an average cost ranging from $16,000 to $20,- 000 per year. The further development of specialized foster homes in Huron Coun- ty has resulted in con- siderable savings in 1980 remarked Penn. At the beginning of the year the agency had five children in paid institutions. Today the agency has only one child in such a place- ment yet, the agency still receives funding for all the children who require this type of program. This money can then be channell- ed into Other .programs because,it is not being :used to, keep the children hi-the more costly institutional programs. During the past year, the agency has appointed a foster family worker who has respohsibility for recruiting. training and sup- porting the specialized foster families. Penn also pointedgut in his report that the past year has been a most'crucial year for the funding of children's aid societies. In the past, child welfare agehcies were allowed to incur budget deficits and received supplemental funding at year's end - much to the con- cern and frustration of the municipalities. This is the transitional year from line by line budget of 1979 to the service plan approach of 1981. ' This year's budget moved to a global approach, said Penn, allowing very little freedom to over spend, but considerable discretion in spending and shifts respon- sibility for financial ectining enrolment A. head of its time Rec property plans bowling green in the village.
