Formerly Shiela Eisenschink, Markle has recently embarked on her new position with the CAS af- ter leaving the Exeter area for sev- eral years. "I like working in the child wel- fare area because there is a lot to be done. So many kids and families need help," says Markle who first developed a love for the work while employed with South Huron's Community Living. "I like to focus on making foster care a more posi- tive experience for everyone in- volved," she says. Some of her pct projects also in- clude offering groups for children. Wether it be Uri after school pro- gram, or a counselling group for various issues, she wants to cater to the needs of the county. Since Markle began her work at CAS she realized the great need for foster homes in the southern part of the county. She says it is difficult for both the children and the parent when a child has to be uprooted from his community in order to be placed in care. "It's hard enough to leave your family let alone your school, friends, etc." Markle hopes to begin a serious recruitment for foster parents soon. Markle says that unfortunately social work has a stigma attached to it, despite the benefits dealing with troublesome issues. "People hear bad stories about CAS, but the bottom line is that we don't take kids if we don't have to. We try to keep families together." The job with CAS was particular- ly attractive to Markle because she says she was out of touch with the community and the county. Spend- ing four years employed at the Lon- don Family and Children's Services removed her from the area she cared about most. "Now I know about the services available in Hu- ron County and can work on im- proving them. "Social work is the type of busi- ness where you're either in for life or you leave right away." Markle, who left the area to pursue her edu- cation at Ryerson Polytechnical In- stitute and University of Toronto. Since returning to live on the fami- ly farm with her husband Ed, she has been a member of the Precious Blood Parish of the Mount Cannel church and the local chapter of the Beta Sigma Phi. She feels her sense of humor, her experience as a mother, and he past work experience will enable to be successful in her new position. C.W.L. By D. Hardy MT. CARMEL - Mt.
