Following the closure of _the_ Goderich Psychiatric Hospital and its child care and adolescent unit, a County Steering Committee, composed of staff and ad- ministrators of the present health and social service organizations, along with interested professional and representive citizents have met over the last four months to examine the gaps in mental health and other specialized services for children and youth. The formulation of an operating philosophy, and a generalized outline of ser- vices have now been com- pleted and will form the basis for the conirnencement of diagnostic and treatment programs during the Fall of t its year and into 1977. Throughout the deliberations, and policy considerations -of the County Steering Committee, stress has been placed on the need for a cooperative and in- tegrated service • venture among present health and welfare agencies and professionals, and a ..com- munity team approach to treatment involving both the new Centre staff and present resources so as tp best utilize the Health Ministry funding which has been made available. It is anticipated that the new service will emphasize programs geared to working with children and adolescents within their families. assistance to the child ex- periencing difficulties in the education system, team assessment approach for all referrals to the Centre. in- dividual and group treat- ment, and preventative programs - particularly aimed at the pre-school population. While no firm commitment has been made, it is an- ticipated that the ad- ministrative headquarters for the new Centre will be located in Clinton so as to provide accessibility to as many people as possible in the County. The Steering Committee has arranged a public meeting for Wednesday, September 1, 1976 at 7:30 p.m., at. the Clinton Public School to acquaint all in- terested people with the proposed service. At this time also, a slate of nominees for election held which will invite .further nominations from the floor. As part of the agenda, a panel composed of Dr. Bruce Thomson. family physician; Mr. Don Kenweil, Huron County Board of Education; Mrs. Joanne Jasper. Senior Public Health Nurse; Mr. Bruce Heath, Children's Aid Director; and Mr. Norman Pickell, Goderich lawyer: will speak to any enquiries or concerns which the public may have. u + 8, of Burlingt n ter- ,rater y it the Dufferior el 1 + ua Roman Catholic Operate School will rep ce- oseph .Tokar ass" Su rin- .tendent of Special Services, iyilI%a ► Eckert, 38', ',of Brantford, formerly with the Brant County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, will replace Alexander Easton aaes Superin- tendent +o('Program. Mr. Mills, a natixe of Lindsay, and Mr. Eckert, a natiVe of Seaforth, will comamcnce their daties with the board effective September 1, 1976, both at an annual salary of $31,000. In the recorded vote (requested by Stratfordd trustee, David Teahen) the board chairman Arthur Haid of Listowel left the chair to vote on the two- Motions made to hire the two superintendents. Mr. Haid said that his reason for voting was to ensure that the programs started by Mr. Tokar and Mr. Easton would be continued for the children from kin- dergarten to grade 8 in the 19 separate schools in Huron and Perth Counties. The recorded vote on the first motion to hire Mr. Mills was as 'follows: for - John O'Drowsky, St., Marys; Mickey Vere and Ronald Marcy both of Strat- ford; Greg Fleming, Crediton; Vincent Young.

Mr. Teahen concluded: "The recorded vote -speaks for the trustees concerned." Stratford trustee Ron Marcy said: It is cheaper to hire two supervisory officers than to go back to the time when we only had one superintendent and two consultants." Mr. Marcy said that certification in special education does not qualify a person for a supervisory position. .
