Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1983-12-07, Page 9f rl' ter entre will close The Bluewater Centre for the Develop- mentally Handicapped is slowly, but surely, relinquishing its role as a home for han- dicapped adults. Wednesday, November 30 was the second target date in the scheduled closure of the centre, but 26 residents still remained at the facility. By the end of the week, 16 of those residents will have been placed, and the remaining 10 will find new homes by mid- December. While centre administrator Bill Gregg is overseeing the details involved with the closure he will soon be responsible for the conversion of the centre into a young of- fenders facility. Last week, Gregg" was designated superintendent of the facility, a position he will assume and accept willingly. "I am pleased that I am the designated superintendent of the new facility," he said in an interview Tuesday. "I am pleased that I have the opportunity to remain here in Huron County, it is my home and I enjoy it. I am pleased that I will have the opportunity to work with some of the staff from the centre who will remain on staff. And I am pleased to have the challenge of providing an extension of this new service to children." Gregg has enjoyed an extensive career as a civil servant. He began as an elementary teacher and gravitated toward special education. He worked at the Windsor Western Hospital for five years and was later appointed director of the Regional Children's Centre. In 1975 Gregg accepted a position with the Ministry of Community and Social Services' and in 1976 was appointed administrator of the Bluewater Centre when it was converted from a psychiatric facility to a centre for the developmentally handicapped. His role as administrator is slowly win- ding down and while he expects that only 10 of the present 26 residents will be at the centre at week's end, he is proceeding with caution. "The commitments for residents are here but we're still proceeding cautiously," he said. "Nobody is being pushed out the door into another home. "Some of the delay is because homes in some areas are being refurbished or fur- niture is late in arriving. In the case of Wiarton, where a brand-new home was built, it simply wasn't ready for occupancy." To date, 125 of the centre's residents have been placed in new group homes across Southwestern Ontario in an attempt to keep residents as close as possible to family and friends. Only one facility, a six -bed group home in Clinton, has opened in this area. The staff will have been reduced to 69 as of Wednesday and Gregg said that about 16 employees will remain on staff beyond the closure of the centre to maintain the facility. Subsequent to the closure of the centre, Gregg will slide into his new position and get y 171 iont CLINTON NEWS -RECORD. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1983 -PAGE 9 involved with the architects on the multi- million dollar renovation project that will convert the centre into a correction facility. He will also oversee tendering details on the renovation project and he expects the tendering process to be initiated by mid- February. While Gregg will occupy the same office after the closure he said it "certainly will be different because the family will have left." It was just in September that Provincial Secretary for Justice, Gord Walker, an- nounced that millions of dollars would be spent to convert the facility into a regional detention centre for young offenders. The Young Offenders Act was passed by the federal government in 1982 but cost-sharing agreements have not been worked out. The act will be proclaimed April 1, 1984 and the province must be in a position to accept young offenders by April 1, 1985. Until then, millions of dollars will be spent converting the centre into a detention facility. The province is committed to creating two regional detention centres for young offenders between the ages of 12 and 17. About 180 young people will be ac- commodated in the two regional centres and the Goderich facility will employ about 160 people. Clinton Cub enrolment was held in Clinton recently.

He told the numerous members of Huron County council that were in attendance at the meeting that neither the inaugural or the annual budget meetings are not the "ideal situation to understand what the Huron County Board of Education undertakes to do for the students." Mr. Frayne asked county council to invite either the director of education Robert Allan or himself to a county council session to discuss the problems faced by the board. "Our forefathers never questioned the price of education and neither should we. Education is the most important thing we hand down to our children," said the new chairman. Retiring Huron County Warden Grant Stirling responded to the new chairman's remarks by adding his own invitation. He suggested that trustees attend their local municipality council meetings to keep coun- cils up to date on the happenings at the board level. "We're the first ones to hear the com- plaints," said Mr. Stirling. The new chairman is a farmer in Ashfield Township and represents the separate school supporters for the north part of the county. He served on Ashfield Township Council for five years as a councillor and two years as a deputy -reeve. Prior to the amalgama- tion of local school boards, Mr. Frayne serv- ed for six years as a trustee on the Kingsbridge school board. He has been a member of the Huron County Board of Education since 1977. Mr. Frayne and his wife Betty have eight children, two of which are still at home at- tending Goderich District Collegiate In- stitute. Art Clarke of Wingham was elected vice- chairman of the board. Having completed his first year as a trustee, Mr. Clarke defeated Joan VandenBroeck of Saltford who also sought the position. Committee chairmen were also named at the inaugural meeting. Frank Falconer of RR 5 Clinton will chair the education com- mittee, while Dennis Rau of RR 2 Zurich heads the management committee for the coming year. John Jewitt of Londesboro is chairman of the personnel committee for the coining year. Eugene Frayne, left, of RR 3 Goderich has been acclaimed to the position of chairman of the Huron County Board of Education. Art Clarke, right, of Wingham was elected vice- chairman of the board at the Dec. 5 inaugural meeting.
