That is integration and the right el people who have a handicap to have the opportunity to integrate into their community." Prior to the summer of 1985, parents who have a child with a developmental handicap living at home were receiving parental relief Services from the Huron Street adlldren's Residence. Due to staffing and safety reasons, Parkhill Group Homes announced that they would no longerbe able to provide this service. The parents rather than sending their children to an institution for short periods of time, approached the Association for support to regain this Service in the community. „�. The Association in conjunction wit h Other service agencies in the county approached the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services with the issue and a proposal to provide this service.

Lisa Blue has been hired as a sum- mer student and she will be visiting all of the close to 300 businesses in town to mark store owned equipment with a special code number. Once the store has been marked a sticker will be placed on the store front to advise would-be thieves that items in the building are marked and can be identified quickly by police. A list of items marked will begiven to the store manager. The police department will keep a card file to in- dicate the store name and the number code. This program will assist police to identify stolen items quickly and will allow the store owner to easily iden- tify stolen property. This program is a crime prevention instrument which has worked well in other communities. This Weeks Features Cid Gciriety of Fresh di iieious donuts.
