Maria has Clinton connections County home opened for adolescents BY SHARO1DIETZ A group home for young adolescents will open in Goderich to serve the needs of children in the county who present excessive demands for foster families. According • to John Penn, director of.Family and Children's Services for 'Huron . County, the' new program will match a need which has developed in the county. "These children are too emotionally - or behaviourally upset to be placed in a foster farnily," says Penn, "and there is evidence they do better in a group home arrangement.". Group home "Care operates well with teenagers . according to Penn. The program will use the house formerly used by • the county's Children's Aid Society Teenage Living Experience (CASTLE) program which was terminated at, the end of November. The home will ac- commodate children who require more than the average family situation can give them. Abused children do well in group homes says Penn. They don't trust foster parents will not abuse them. In a group home they have the opportunity to see other children who are living in the home and have not been abused. The children who have lived there for a time act as role models for the newcomers. Group Varna man dies Lloyd Heard Lloyd Nelson Heard of RR 1, Varna passed away in Victoria Hospital in London on January 27, 1980 in his 58th year. • The son the the late Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Heard, —,he is survived by his wife, Nora Margaret (Parker); two sons, Edward Nelson, and Terrence Christopher, both of RR 1, Varna; and one daughter, Anne Marie Heard of London. Funeral services were held from the Westlake Funeral Home in. Zurich on Wednesday, January 30 with Rev. Wilena Brown officiating. Interment was • in the Bayfield Cemetery. Pallbearers were Don Wallace, ' Lynn Waller, Dick Steep, Ralph Stephenson, Grant Webster, and Alvin Keys. Flower bearers were Ray Scott, Donald Heard„ Larry Heard, and Randy Keys. homes also work well -for the delinquent child says Penn. • Skilled group home parents will live in the home. Family and Children's Services (FCS) is looking' for a married couple with child care training or previous experience as group home parents. The home will accommodate up to six children ranging in ages from 10 to 15 years. The program will be funded on 'the basis that one of the parents will work fulltime in, the group -home and the other will have a job ou-i'side the home. FCS will pay the' group home parents on a scale of $12,00Q' a year plus. living ac- commodation. Penn said the program will cost $40,000 and the project will be funded by deflecting the cost of supporting two children in institutions' and the CASTLE .operating budget. The program will have $20,000 from the CASTLE budget and the $24,000 saved when the two children who are now institutidnalized are placed in the group home. More money will be saved down the road said - Penn, when the children who would be placed in institutions for the e lack of a group home, can be placed in the new program. The aerage length of stay inv TM - the group home for a child will be six months to a year.- The child's parents will be actively involved in the program and will con- tribute financially. Parents will participate in family counselling sessions focusing on. re- integrating the child in his family. The focus of a program for the child, who will remain in the care of FCS over the long term, will be normalization of the child so he can move into -a traditional foster family. The average. foster family in the county cares for one • to three children.. There are four group homes in the county which are foster arrangements where a family has consented to take more than three children under a special arrangement with FCS.

New resources must be developed for children in the county every year says Penn. Last year a foster group home was arranged and this year the county group home is being started. The new project is still subject to the approval of the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Ser- vices and the location of group home parents will determine the opening date of the home. -Penn is looking forward to opening the home April 1. The CASTLE program, which was cancelled, served older teenage girls who lived with a single social worker, who worked outside the home. She acted as a role model for the girls living at the home who were focusing on becoming in- dependent. The program operated for four years and on an average, three to four teenagers were living at the home. The girls were either wards of FCS or teenagers from the community who had left home. The program was initiated through the Children's Aid Society which approached county council who purchased the house. The agency then rented the house from the county and the agency = and the county shared the funding of the program. The program was terminated in favor of the new program which there • is a greater need for in the county at this time. Penn said he supposes it is inevitable in a small community like Goderich that people would not understand_the CASTLE program and there has been talk about promiscuous behaviour at the home. He said he 4 -has heard vague com- ments•about the CASTLE program but -he -has never had -a complaint of- ficially. He said CASTLE was terminated to make way for a program which will serve a wider range of problems in the county. There was only one resident at the home when CASTLE was cancelled in November and she has been placed in another home in FCS care. The property com- mittee of county council toured the house recently and county council ap- proved $2,000 in its property budget for maintenance and repairs to the house in its 1980 budget. The livingroom will be redecorated and plaster will be repaired and wallpapering done in three bedrooms. The' county will con tinue to rent the hoose _to —VCS for the group home ,program.. John—Tinney, reeve of Hay Township and vice:chairman of the property committee, fold council he did not want to see the house fall into disrepair while a new use for the house 'is being initiated.
