THE HURON EXPOSITOR, October 10, 1005-5 COUNSELLING • Marriage • Family • Personal Growth • Learning Disabilities BRIAN O'REILLY, D.S.W. uNTON uron 5`482-9249 "No, absolutely nothing. That sign (for the Seaforth Armoury) was the first time I'd ever noticed it." Mel Thorxen "I know it's an armoury. I see those air cadets here." John Wekking "No, nothing." Raymond Marti "I heard Seaforth has something to do with the cadet thing. I don't know." Irene Herdler "No, I've never heard of it." Hayashi Hidoshi * Asked recently in Vancouver "Yes, I've heard of _ Seaforth. It's a pretty town. I was there on my honeymoon visiting my in-laws." Susan Scott in front of.the Seaforth Armoury No other program in county to replace Phoenix of Huron Continued from page 4 facilities operated by Phoenix of Huron m the towns of Clinton, Exeter and Goderich. Since opening in June of 1991, Phoenix has been the home to 146 women and 164 children, including the 34 women and 38 children currently living at the three sites in Huron County. A remarkable 90 per cent of these women using the . services provided by Phoenix have not returned to abusive partners and are now living non-violent, independent lives. Phoenix is about so much more than safe, affordable housing for these women and children. During their stay at Phoenix, the women are provided . with one on one counselling, support with and through the legal and court systems and group programming activities to deal with the issues of violence in their lives. Work with children at Phoenix includes one on one therapy helping them to deal and cope with the affects of witnessing violence; teaching non-violent behaviours to stop the cycle of violence from one generation to the next; and parental support for the mothers to assist them in dealing with their children who have experienced or witnessed violence in their lives. In rural areas such as here in Huron County, there are no other programs or services ,available to replace what is presently being offered by Phoenix of Huron to meet the critical and integral needs of the women and children of Huron. These are women who are our neighbours, our friends, our sisters and our daughters. These children are the future; they are the 'next generation' Mike Harris is professing to be planning a better future for by reducing a long held provincial debt. This week the Harris government effectively said to all women and children of Huron County and across the province; 'Your well-being and safety are of no issue or significance to this government'. Period. Furthermore, these cuts have trade an ominous and appalling statement to all of the next generation, saying clearly that the future of this province and its residents is far less important than are the short term ambitions of this government.
