This motto appeals on the front page of a pamphlet outlining the philosphy and objectives of Craigwood and on meeting Craigwood's new executive director, Kenneth Thomas one immediately feels these few words accurately -ex- press the caring concern he personally has for the boys living at Craigwood. He comes to Craigwood with a wide experience in working with children having emotional or behavioral problems, and consequently stresses the uniqueness of each child. "We need to be sensitive to the individual boy", he emphasizes "and recognize different approaches or methods may be necessary to reach different boys". Born in North Wales he first graduated from the University of Wales, and University of York in England with an honours During this, the International Year of the Child...

Ontario B.A. While teaching at Denton, Ma nc hester,England from 1965-67 he came in contact with "latch key" students: thirty-two of his thirty-six students at that time were on probation which prompted him to return to university for further training and took post graduate work in criminology and law at the University of Leeds in England. For two years he was on the staff of the Thorpe Arch Grange Approved Training School for Boys, a residential institution for delinquent and acting -out boys in Yorkshire, England. - In 1970 he and his wife, Kathy immigrated to Canada and moved to Montreal, Quebec. For the next seven years he worked at the Shawbridge Youth Centre an English speaking agency of the Province of Quebec for the treatment of delinquent and acting out boys and girls from 12 to 18 years of age; where he act as Educational Couns or and later Director of Resources. He took a brief leave of absence to obtain his M.S.W. from Wayne State Univer- sity in Detroit, Michigan and returned to the program to become its Director of Personnel Services. At the mention of the Shawbridge • Youth Centre many happy memories obviously well up inside Ken. "It is amazing", he relates. "There are so many similarities between Craigwood and Shawbridge. The physical set-up is similar with the cottage concept, and even the ter- minology is the same - the "big house" for ad- ministrative building, etc.". He left Shawbridge to accept the position of Director bf Professional Services of Youth Horizons, an english speaking residential agency of the province of Quebec, for the care and treatment of psychosocially maladjusted boys and girls from 6 to 18 years. In addition he was a part time professor at the College Marie Victorian in Montreal where he taught courses to students training as child care workers, as well as working with the School of Social Work at McGill University as Field Placement Supervisor to Graduate Students. Coming to his new position Ailsa Craig entry wins soccer test By JOY SCHEIFELE The annual Home and School's corn roast Sep- tember 11 was a great way to meet the parents of his new students acknowledged grade five teacher, Bill Pickering. "It was something I'd never even heard of before and think it was super," he stated. Many parents turned out to meet the teachers and each other in a very informal atmosphere and enjoyed a feast of corn as well. Although new this year to the East Williams Public School, Bill Pickering is by no means new to the profession. For the past nine years he was on the staff of Centennial Public School, and was transferred to East Williams this September. Born in London he graduated from London Teachers' College in 19584 and was thus able to fulfill his life long ambition of becoming a teacher. He was immediately employed at Centennial and taught a grade five class there as well. "I find the children here at East Williams very polite as well as being appreciative of what you do for them," he stressed. He also finds the children in general more learned than they were even when he began his teaching career. "They question things much more readily, and are far more travelled," he reflected. In addition to teaching the 33 children in his glass, he will be involved in extra curricular activities with the New staffer at school By JOY SCHEIFELE Although only in their second year of playing Ailsa Craig's youngsters became the - atom divisiorr--soccer' champs iA - tournament matches held in Nairn Saturday.

John Brown from the Thedford and Sylvan United Church Pastoral -Charge was guest -speaker at Brinsley United Church, Sunday and Mr. Peter Snell conducted the anniversary for Sylvan United Church. Mr. and Mrs. Don Newey of Kingston visited with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Jack Trevithick Thursday and Friday. The Ladies Guild of St. Mary's Anglican Church Brinsley held their first meeting of the fall season in the basement of the Church with Mrs. Ralph Rowe and Mrs. Murray Rowe as hostesses. Roll call was answered by each member telling of an outing she enjoyed during the summer. The date for the annual bazaar was set for November 28. A good number of girls and boys attended Brinsley Sunday School Sunday and plans are being made for a choir for anniversary. -Seven of the Brinsley United Church Women were back to Lieury Church Wednesday evening and heard the speaker a missionary Vivian Grant of London. - Todd Lewis, Lorne Brewer. and Jeff Amos attended a soccer tour- nament at Nairn, Saturday. at Craigwood on September 10 only days after ter- minating his position in Montreal, Ken and his family have barely had time to settle into their new home in Nairn, but he is very much looking forward to his new responsibilities at, ''Craigwood. The institution currently holds a licence for 28 boys and 22 are presently housed in the seven cottages. Within the past year the three cottages located behind the century old farm house currently being used for administrative offices, were renovated to house two families each. Two sets of houseparents each with four boys live in a duplexed cottage with the seventh family living in the white house to the left of the cot- tages. "If someone in the com- munity phoned and asked, "Can I .Qome and visit Craigwood and see what it is all about? I'd be more than happy", asserted Ken. "We want to welcome the com- munity into Craigwood -and let them know what is taking place here." Part of his projections for Craigwood include having the community more in- volved in the lives of the boys, and hopefully, having the boys able to become more involved in the com- munity through sports having the boys provide help when needs arise, e.g-. assisting senior citizens, helping people move, providing fire wood, etc. On the other hand the community will be invited in to work with the boys as volunteers, "open house" will be held and the com- munity invited to attend special functions. The boys need to be integrated back into society, Ken outlined "No matter how much they may appreciate what is being done for them every boy deep down wants to be with his immediate family and we have to plan for the day." The boys range in age from ten to thirt-een years of age and come primarily from southwestern Ontario. They attend school right on the Craigwood campus which consists of some 200 acres. The school programme is supervised by the Middlesex County Board of Education and consists of six classes from grades 1 to 8. Specialized individual programs have been carefully developed for the boys and a speech therapist from the Board visits, weekly. Regular home visits and family contact form an in- tegral part of the programme although "family life" atmosphere is stressed at Craigwood. Houseparents serve on a 24 hour basis, working three week intet:vals with one week off. A consultant psychiastrist and four social workers are on staff.. Craigwood is owned and operated • by Mennonite Central Committee of Ontario and funded through the Community and Social Services.
