SH MENTALLY HANDICAPPED EXECUTIVE — The 1982-83 executive for the South Huron Association for th Mentally Handicapped was installed Thursday night. Back left, Anne Cann, Linda Steele, Alma Godbolt, An Klungel, Ellen Forsythe, Mira Lovell and Marg Purdy. Front, Jim Dolton, Randy Evans, Winston Shepton, pres dent Herb Verbeek, Bob Southcott, Paul Turnbull and Roger Sheeler. T -A phot Government restraints require, more effort from volunteers Members of the South Huron Association for the Mentally Handicapped were challenged by incoming presi- dent Herb Verbeek "to work together, enhance theluality of life and open their doors t� the future." Verbeek went on to say, -"With more government restraints this association Will become more dependent on you as supporters." The new president in- dicated a waiting list for ser- vices provided by the local association including 25 voca- tional spaces, 12 for apart- ment and residential and four at the Huron Hope Nursery. Executive director Don Campbell said he was excited about two new projects that are targeted for September, 1982 for children currently liv- ing in this area add for some now living in institutions. On this subject Campbell continued, "They are a developmental class for school age severely handicap- ped children and a children's CORE residence to provide accommodation and pro- gramming for eight severely handicapped children and up to two relief beds. It appears that Parkhill Group Homes Incorporated, another organization in residential care will be involved in opera- tion of the home." The full day Developmental Class that will be started thanks to the Huron County Board of Education will be ex- tremely beneficial to school age children that now attend only a half day nursery program. - -The location of this Developmental Class is slated for JAD McCurdy School at Huron Park, down the hall Discov'e yah Living i 1 QUALITY ROYAL HOME • SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION 2 x s walls, '/a" roof sheeting • ENERGY EFFICIENT R.41.11" Coiling Insulation R-211 -51/2" wail Insulation . • CUSTOM BUILT This way you want Itl • GUARANTEED with 5 YEAR HUDAC warranty Fors home of unsurpassed quality, built on your lot, •nywh.re In Southw.stern Ontario, Inquire about the ROYAL HOME.

Campbell continued, "The message on Prevention of Mental Handicapism, ex- isting services in this county and projected needs must get through to the remaining population in our service area." The Board has continued to emphasize the importance of a Public Education Awareness and Prevention Program, to help meet the needs of the community. You have heard of our two programs for children scheduled for this year. To adequately serve the needs of adults, at least two group homes are necessary to be started. Additional residential spaces will require expanded vocational services. As con- cerned about the needs as we are, the lack of available fun- ding is a major obstacle, but not an impotsible hurdle. When we look back at the explosive growth of this Association in 14 short years we see that there were many risk takers in starting new projects. By accepting the challenges, significant pro- gress for handicapped people ha`s been made. No risk - no growth - It would, therefore, seem that we have no alternative but to enrich or expand our services to meet the needs. The operating of, and the maintaining of services for the Mentally Handicapped continues to be a challenge in the 1980's. The enthusiasm and the dedication of the board and committee members, staff and volunteers working together for a common purpose are the thrusts behind any success we have enjoyed in the past • years, and absolutely necessary for the future. Let us all work together to enhance the quality of ser- vices for those in our care, so that they, the Handicapped • children and adults may con- tinue to live in this communi- ty - their community - with respect and dignity." Named to the board of directors for a two year term were Carfrey Cann, Randy Evans, Alma Godbolt, Myra Lovell, Roger Sheeler, Bob Southcott and Linda Steele. Completing the final year of a two year term will be. Jim Dalton, Ellen Forsythe, Ann Klungel, Marg . Purdy, Winston Shapton, Paul Turn- bull and Herb Verbeek. Representing YACMR on the board of directors will be Joyce 'Gages. The highlight of the evening was the appearance of organist George Jenner who entertained before dinner and gave a history of his life in music near the end of the meeting. Jenner who is blind and has only two fingers on each hand thrilled the more than 400 per- sons In attendance with his tremendous musical ability. Retiring president Ann - Klungle was in charge of the program, Paul Turnbull gave the the treasurer's report and Carfrey Cann was in charge of the ,election, of new directors. Exeter ratepayers still paying taxes Despite current economic conditions, xnost Exeter homeowners are finding the required cash to pay proper- ty taxes. Finance committee chair- man Bill Mickle reported this week that overdue taxes were up only $900 in comparison to last year's figures at this time, although the amount of taxes being collected had increased. He suggested council should consider allowing peo- ple to pay taxes on a monthly basis, rather than quarterly; to accommodate those who •may find it easier to budget on a monthly basis in hard economic times. His committee report was approved with the.recommen- dation that the newly ap- pointed nursing home com- mittee be reimbursed up to $250 forout-of-pocket ex- penses such as telephone, postage, mileage and advertising. Other recommendations approved were as follows: An expenditure of ;150 for the town to take out a full page advertisement in the Heritage Days publication. Application under the On- tario Employment Incentive program for such projects as sidewalks, painting trim on . the municipal office and library, and to help towards the creative playground being planned by the Exeter Lioness Club. Reimbursement of $45 for Laurie Dykstra who recently. completed a course on "Per- sonal Possibilities" at Fan- shawe College. Appointment of Donna Glanville as acting clerk for the July 5 council meeting in view of the fact the clerk and deputy will be attending a conference in Toronto. ' o TELL FRANK MILLER YOU'D RATHER HAVE YOUR PIZZA BEFORE HE TAKES A BITE Treasurer Frank Miller and the Ontario Govern- ment have taken a bite 'right out of your food dollars. On June 14th a new 7% tax was placed on all food sold by eating establishments. This means students, children, people on fix- ed incomes, and anyone else who buys on inex- r{ ttrr'llar►Et }, • y�Q 1 would like to stop this unfair tax 1 under - (w7 st.lnd that ORFA is simply requesting that a tax exemption he maintained for meals under $4 00, and that all meals prepared for consumption MI the premises (take-out or delivery) continue to he exempt I agree ',JAW AUI)RIt' . dl:\AIt,RI L 641 71I 0.141,., r px,a..n ua. r woumces A sOc MAO .,, .�. .:41,•,1.1 I,• 1 .On? t5'. 119 pensive meal must pay 7% more than they ever have before. Before the tax meals under $6.00 hove beentax freq. Ontario is the only province in Canada without an exemption on low-priced meals. We can't help but wonder if groceries will be taxed next? The frightening part about this unfair fox is the chain reaction it will have. Not only have people who can ill -afford it lost a chunck of their food budget, but many small catering services, cafeterias and private fast-food oppratlons will inevitably suffer loss of sales. Mr. Miller's budget was meant to highlight job creation. Instead it will cause job lasses and business failures throughout the food service Industry. P.S. No tax Is charged in Provincial cafeterias in Toronto on low priced meols that are already subsidized by the taxpayers. If the new tax bothers you as much as it bothers us, join in our campaign to repeal this inane tax. Simply fill out the coupon and mail it today. We'd like to see quite a few dumped on Frank Miller's desk.
