Family Services reflect government priorities
BY SHARON DIETZ
The director of Huron
County's Family and
Children's .services told
county Council in his
annual report that
programs developed by
their agency in recent
years reflect the
priorities the Ministry of
'Community and Social
..Services is advocating in
•
1981.
John Penn told Huron
County Council at their
November 27 meeting
that two programs
already established by
the agency are in line
with the ministry's ob-
jectives this year.
When the Children's
Aid Society of Huron
County changed their
name to Family and
Children's Services in
1977, the Board of
Directors signalled the
comm inity that its ob-
jectivel, was to develop
family treatment ser-
vices in the home which
were aimed at preventing
family breakdown. Since
1977, said Penn, the
For a tasty turkey
Turkeys are in good
supply for Christmas and
meatier than ever before,
Ontario's Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
reports.
• Turkey is always a
good choice for the main
course, providing one of
the highest sources of
protein. It's Lower in fat=
than chicken and con-
tains fewer calories than
most other : ,meats. Its
flavor goes well with so
many foods that the menu
can always be varied to
fit your preferences.
Ontario, turkeys as;

Canada Grade B br
Canada Grade Utility.
This information will be
printed on the metal
breast tag on fresh
-poultry or the bag or
label of frozen poultry.
Grade A is a meaty bird
with a good covering of
fat, well -shaped and free
of defects. Grade B may
have slightly less meat or

crooked breast bone,

Utility is at least equal to
Grade B in quality, but

spected, too, which is a
separate operation. The
health inspection tells
you that the turkey is safe
to eat and the grade in-
dicates the quality of the
bird.
Fresh and frozen --
turkey are both excellent
products. A fresh one
may be your choice if you
want to roast it right
Away. If you're planning
'ahead, you may want to
buy a frozen turkey now
and keep it frozen until
it's time to thaw it for
cooking. —Whole turkeys
can be kept in a freezer
for a year and turkey
,six -months,
1f you want turkey but
not a whole one, buy
turkey parts. They can be
baked or braised just as
you would chicken parts
or the meat can be cut
from the bones and used
in stir -fried dishes.
Ontario turkey is a
good buy -- not only
during the festive season
but all year long—

Vis!,+.i�'n,`•y./' v�-
ggency has introduced a
significant number of
prevention programs
aimed at supporting
families so that children
may remain in their own
home rather than come
into foster care.
This family focused
approach to child
protective services has
been strengthened this
year by the funding of
three new programs.
They ''.include a parent
aide program aimed at
the training and support
of parents and the em-
ployment of a volunteer
co-ordinator to recruit
and train '.v'olunteers to
launch a program which
supports the work of the
family service
caseworkers. The third
program is the ongoing
training of professional
staff in marriage and
family therapy to ensure
that the agency, ras the
skills necessary to carry
out the objectives of
family based services.
A second major policy
decision of the Board of
Directors was to develop
specialized foster tiatri ily
care for children who!, for
a variety of reasons, are
difficult to place in
regular foster homes,
reported Penn. Many of
these upset children were
once placed in in-
stitutions outside of
Huron at an average cost
ranging from $16,000 to
$20,000 per year, The
further development of
specialized foster homes
in Huron County has
resulted in considerable
savings in 1980 remarked
Penn.
At the beginning of the
year• the agency had five
children in paid in-
stitutions. Today the
agency has only one child
in such a placement yet,
the agency still receives
funding for all the
children who require thiS
type of program. This
money can then be
channelled into other
programs because it is
not being used to keep the
concert last week.,
With special thanks
for your warmth
and friendship we
wishyouavery
children in the more
costly institutional
programs.
During the past year,
the agency has appointed
a foster family worker
.who has responsibility for
recruiting, training and
supporting the
specialized foster
families.
Penn also pointed out in
his report that the past
year has been a most
crucial year for the
funding of,children's aid
societies. In the past,
child welfare agencies
were allowed to incur
budget deficits and
received `supplemental
funding at year's 'end -
much to the concern and
frustration of the
municipalities. This is the
transitional year from
line by line budget of 1979
to the service plan ap-
proach of 1981,
This year's budget
moved to a global ap-
proach, said Penn,
allowing very little
freedom to over snend,
but c,onsideraaie
discretion in spending
and shifts responsibility
for financial
'management and
decision making to the
local level.
\The -Huron agency has
been fortunate to have
negotiated a significant
budget increase in 1980,
which will be the
protected base for future
funding. During 1980, the
agency not only initiated
a number of new
programs but also ac-
cumulated a budget
surplus. This new funding
approach will permit
budget savings to be
retained for future years.
In this way*,said Penn,
there is an incentive for
the agency to develop
programs which will
result in financial
savings. The surplus of
1980's budget will be
carried forward to 1981 to
fund the expansion of the
family focused .support
programs already un-
derway.
